Ok so I'm anxiously awaiting the user to respond to whether their swapped out phone fixed the issue..
I'm coming from an iPhone 3G, 4 and 4S, so this is my first Android phone ever (the phone I had before the 3G was a Samsung Blackjack if that gives you any idea...). Anyways, the pictures are beautiful UNTIL there's even remotely low light. I'm sitting in my livingroom with 2 60 watt LED bulbs and 2 40 watt bulbs and the pictures are insanely blurry... If I point the camera at a light source for 5 seconds, it fixes itself and the refresh rate on the picture increases to like 60 and works great, but the second I pan away from the light source, it turns into a SUPER blurry mess. Holding the phone perfectly still, the pictures come out slightly blurry (or) look like they're watercolor pictures... I'll have to post some examples... I've ready nothing but 95% amazing reviews and a lot of people posting low-light clear pics, but mine are PRETTY BAD, especially compared to my 4s.
Also, as far as the battery goes, I know the screen is HUGE and super bright, but the battery last significantly less time than my 4s. I would go through a full work day checking my iphone easily every 10 minutes and texting, calling, e-mailing, etc. and by the end of the work day I'd still be at 30-40% (before upgrading to ios7), but with the G2, I'll be at 50% before 1pm hits and have to charge it when I get home (and charging takes a solid 2+ hours to fully charge - whereas the 4s was about 30 mins).
I'd really appreciate someone letting me know whether the exchange fixed the problem, because that will determine whether I exchange it for another or return it and wait for the Nexus 5?!?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
