The display is nice and bright on the home screen and menus but once u go into the web browser it darkens and can't increase the brightness on the browser.
The speaker sucks, and I can barley hear it, when you get a call in a crowded area where there is a lot of people you will miss a call.
The camera is terrible, probably the worst I have ever seen in a smartphone, almost as bad as a flip phone camera.
Well I had to vent, and I guess I will exchange this for something else. Hopefully the new nexus will be better, cause I really wanted a google phone. This is is just a disappointment.
verizonWhich Nexus did you get the one from the Play Store or from Verizon?
Hope you have better luck with another device.

Other than that, their radios are super strong and I always get a good signal
A lot of people are having success with the App Volume + to increase the phone's volume to a more audible level.
1. Antenna is very important.
Have you compared the Nexus antenna design to the design of, say, a Motorola product, like the Razr Maxx?
Just wondering if there is something we could do on ours to improve the signal. I'm guessing that we're beyond the point of soldering on a piece of copper wire here, and I know I don't buy the "wrap your battery with pure gold" stories, either...
oh wait Volume+ requires root, and it says it only works with gingerbread?
does it require root?It supposedly works in ICS, just some effects don't work like Bass Boost. Jelly Bean has no support at the moment.
does it require root?
Coming from a strong RF background, I know what goes into transmitting and receiving an RF signal.
well i used it and really can't tell any differenceDoesn't appear so. But I never bought the app since I have no need for it so I don't know for sure.
