    Yes and its for a couple of reasons.

    1. This forum isn't nearly as popular as it was in the era of the D1. I think its simply because of the influx of other android sites (it also doesn't help that the site name implies it is only for Droid branded phones) and specifically only serves Verizon phones for the most part.

    2. Many devs have migrated to Rootzwiki and thus have taken the traffic with them. Even XDA has slowed from what it used to be.

    3. Some who did frequent this forum (and specifically this section) moved to a different phone because of the many at-launch issues some were having.

    Glad I came across this thread. I just ordered a Galaxy Nexus and wasn't completely sure about it, but you guys have eased my mind a bit. :-)

    I haven't been liking mine that much...iffy about it. My battery life is horrible. It's actually pathetic.

    Performance wise it's amazing...but the battery is horrible. I literally see the percentage dropping in front of my eyes. Ten hours of extremely light use (1 hour screen on time..texting slight browsing) and I need a charger.

    And after I charge it, if I don't charge it fully...it loses 10% just sitting around doing nothing in half an hour.

    The battery was already bad in ics, on jb it's even worse

    I agree, battery life is pretty pathetic. I absolutely love my phone and how it operates/runs but I have resorted to carrying a spare battery around when I don't have access to a charger. I am lucky to get 8-10 hours with 1-1.5 hours screen time with the extended 2100mah battery.

    This is all with sync off, gps off, 4g off, bluetooth off, and screen on auto. I tried running the screen on 20% but that was a real pain in the ass when I went outside and couldn't see anything to even turn the screen back up.

    Battery can't be any worse than the RAZR. At 4 hours with that thing I'm at 20%

    Love Gnex. Battery life is so-so but with all the ROMs and customization options available you will get plenty of life out of it. I have not had any of the hardware problems others have and I have had mine since 3 weeks after launch. Since VZW only releases locked down phones this is definitely the best they have to offer. I had the OG Droid before this and don't know if I could deal with a phone that wasn't unlockable. The Nexus program is the best Android experience for those of us that like to tinker and make the phone our own.

    Yes the battery life is an issue, but one that is easily addressed through the developers community. If you are still having battery issues, like I keep reading in this thread, its your own fault. the fixes are out there for you, just go apply them.

    As I type this, my phone is sitting next to me running 4.1.2 and I had it on JB the day after it was released. I read an article this morning that the US Galaxy S3 may not see JB until 2013! With the rumors of a new Nexus coming out soon, I am sure that we will all be on Key Lime Pie by then. This is why, while somewhat under powered, the Nexus is a great phone. The devs have done a great job and will continue to do the same for this phone next year as well.
