I had an issue with missing texts, but I heard about an option in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance called "Lock messaging app in memory." I have yet to miss a text(that I know of) since I turned that option on. Before that I was missing about 1 out of every 5 messages. There's also an option to lock the homescreen in memory, which helps alleviate homescreen redraw.
Now my main issue is random reboots, about 2-3 a day. It started happening after the upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.1, not after locking messaging or the homescreen in memory.
Back is in back from the 17th?
So now you are saying it isn't going to be the 17th like your sources say? More like the 21st or even later?

No disrespect to the sources, but that's been extremely obvious since the beginning. With no bloatware and Samsung and Google in control of the Nexus, Verizon really isn't worried about selling the Nexus. Especially with none of their bloatware on it.
I think by holding it back he meant that they are not leaking or announcing the release date prior to the release
Wait...Not announce a release date prior to a release? So your saying they are just going to throw it on the shelves without saying one word?
We all have a "problem". This is a support group, not a forum
Wow... I'm impressed. Welcome!
Edit: Here's the deal, guys. Our Source said they weren't going to be pushing the Nexus as hard as the Razr or the ReZound. Don't be surpised. I'm sure VZW wants as many folks as possible to be these other phones. That's why they're keeping the release date back. If you have to buy them, buy them. If you can hold out for the Nexus, you do well.
I'm addicted to Modern Warfare 3.
Only cure is a Nexus.
Me too. I don't care that people think it's the same game.
New maps + new weapons + new perks + new kill streaks ect. keep me addicted.
They added a multitude of new ways to successfully play the game, and that makes online play an udder joy (when you aren't in a slump )
There isn't a single FPS that has better online multiplayer IMHO.
Now let's just hope I enjoy the Gnex as much as I've enjoyed MW3.
Woah pal, woah. This is a Nexus forum, no need for the video game rant...Me too. I don't care that people think it's the same game.

I'm having a blast playing too. I have a dual monitor set up and when I am playing the left one is on MW3 and the right one has this thread up and I am always refreshing.
Mw3 and Nexus news FTW! haha

What would you do if u had a nexus today? Would you theme it..over clock it..wifitether it...what?
Don't like it as much, why I added the IMHO, as it is subjective
And here's a question that's probably already been answered, if one orders it online, will it need to be taken into verizon to activate?
Coming from a non 4g phone.

We have gone over and over the fact that VZW reps don't know anything more than we know about the SGN at this point.Well I went to Verizon today. I was feeling left out, not having inspected the Razr for myself. It's a nice enough phone. Felt ok in the hand, not very warm at all.
I spotted a rep that has chatted with me for over two years and thought I'd give it my best shot to get any Nexus tidbit to share with my Android family. My approach was to ask about a tablet one of my family members was interested in. She was aware of it but didn't know if Big Red would be getting it at all. Then I eased into the Nexus by totally butchering the name.
She was totally aware of the SGN. In fact she was excited about it and preceeded to give me a lot of info on it..including that its 32g and Verizon didn't take the SGII because they wanted a phone that the other carriers wouldn't have. (Her info..not me) I asked her if she had one I could see. Here's the rest from Sam (not her real name)
Sam: I don't have them yet.
Me: Oh, so I would have to wait a long time? This upgrade I have is eating a hole in my pocket.
Sam: No I'm guessing it will be here this Friday. Or it might be the following Monday. We already have the accessories and we get training this week. We usually have the phones 3 or 4 days after that.
Me: Wow! so this phone you've got me totally geeked about could be in this Friday?
Sam: They don't tell us the exact day phones drop anymore. Most reps have a big mouth and would be telling everybody. We'll be told the day before or the day of the release. I'm sure I'll have the demo in here this week. I'll call you. Come by, we'll take it for a ride!
Me: That would be cool. Now would I order this phone online?
Sam: Not this one, we'll have stock in store.
Me: Oh wait...I'm leaving town on the 22nd for Thanksgiving. I guess I'll have to wait until I get back.
Sam: Tuesday the 22nd? I would hope you'd have your phone by then. If something changes, I'll just preordeer it for you since it will be in the warehouse. You'l have it to play with a few days before its released.
Me: Out of curiosity, how's Razr sales so far. That's a pretty slick phone.
Sam: Soft...wait for the Nexus.
That's all I could get. I know when to back away and be cool. I could see the manager looking at us and didn't want to get her in trouble. If she is excited now, wait until she goes through training!
I hope you all can get something in the conversation to help you hold out another week or two. I'm convinced this phone is all its promised to be.
Guess we can take this as confirmation that VZW locked the tethering feature. Even though it's a nexus this doesn't come as a surprise
The leaked smartphone comparison matrix showed that tethering is at an extra cost for all of the phones listed, including the Nexus.
