Nexus? DROID RAZR maxx? I can't pick one! help!!!

[N3xus]

It's really easy to do... Extremely...lol...
But can drastically increase it... Especially when you find which kernel works best for your phone... With moderate usage on mine(running the imoseyen kernel)... I get twelve... With minimal... I can get like... Twenty hours with seventy-eighty percent

Dude that's crazy battery life increase! You guys are such a great help! I'm leaning towards the nexus now haha

That's a huge increase of battery life! I'm assuming that this rooms doesn't make your nexus reboot?

When I was running stock and even a ROM based on stock, I had a reboot every now and then, but it was very uncommon. I've been running AOKP for almost a week now and not a single reboot.

For what its worth I have an OG RAZR and love it. I've had it since February and its probably rebooted on me once.

Also once I got the hang of smart actions my battery life has been hitting 15 hours+.

Hey guys first of all I love this forum and this is my first thread, I truly need help from you guys. I'm on my fourth nexus and they all had the same issue, which is the reboot. I know it's a software issue but everyday it reboots more than two times. I love everything about the phone. I love stock Android, not a fan of blur, HTC sense, etc. Recently Verizon sent me the DROID RAZR maxx as a replacement. It's a solid phone, it lasted me 17 hours before it died, unlike the nexus it dies in 5 hours. So I'm asking you guys if you were in my shoes which one would you stay with!? Pure Google godness or go with a solid phone that doesn't have any issues at all. Keep in mind i have until Monday to make this decision.

If you're rebooting that much and you've gone through 4 replacements, it's not the phone. One or more of your apps are auto updating each time you switch and are causing the crashes. It's nearly impossible for you to get 4 devices that all have the same rebooting issue.

I had the same problem when I first got mine, handcent and my music player were causing the reboots. Got rid of them both and haven't had one since.

I suggest wiping your phone completely and go a day or two without any apps, see if the rebooting occurs, if it doesn't you have your answer.

I went through 2 galaxy's 2 and my wife went through about 7 Samsungs in a few years. They are all buggy phones. I would never suggest Samsung phones.
Anyways my maxx, my wifes maxx and my sister now has a maxx and they just work with extra battery life

If you buy cheap phones you'll get cheap phones. Buy a quality Samsung device and you'll get quality. Same thing applies to all manufacturers.

well... This might be just me... But it's a nexus device... Unlock it... And go with a different rom kernel combo... Then the nexus will truly shine... But that's my opinion

"I'll get you my little pretty... And your little dog todo too"
"I don't even have a little dog todo"

OK if I root it and unlock it is there a video for rooting for dummies? Haha what is the easy method of rooting?

Rooting isn't going to fix your rebooting issue. You're using incompatible apps with ICS, it's going to continue rebooting until you get rid of the apps causing the issue.

OK how do I find out which apps are incompatible with ics?
