its not "his own fault" he shouldnt have to mod a phone to get these types of results. Thats just stupid logic. Thats like Buying a car and them putting a lousy engine it. And then you telling the person well, you have access to people who build engines you should put a new one in. Its your fault that your car isnt doing what you want.

If a developer can make the phone run better then the manufacture should have done that from the start.

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.

Should work properly out of the box. I didn't pay to tinker with it

I still enjoy it. I don't like the plastic body however. I envy phones like the RAZR HD

Ironic because I did. ;)

Seriously though, I agree that you shouldn't have to modify your phone to get it in working order. The update to JB fixed all my signal issues. My advice is if its still not performing to your standards:

1. Get a CLNR before your manufacturer warranty expires

2. Get a new device

The Nexus does not have great radios but they have been adequate for me. If they don't meet your expectations, then you should consider switching to a device with better radios. Just something to consider.

As for battery life, its long been known that LTE destroys battery. The Nexus does not have life comparable to phones such as the SGS3 or Maxx. If battery life is very important to you:

1. Get a 3800 extended battery

2. Switch to a device with better battery

And I apologize if I come across as rude, but those really are your only options if you don't want to experiment with modifying your device.

I want to root my device but tbh unless I know how to do it and have someone help me I don't wanna experiment on my own. It's not the rooting process that I can't do, it's the Roms etc.

The battery on the nexus is worse than the thunderbolt.

There's something going on with your phone...even on stock for me, battery life was adequate on 4G. The Thunderbolt had terrible life stock...I think it has something like a 1450 mAh. And if you do decide to start modifying, myself and I'm sure many others here would be willing to help you through the process if you get confused.

Last time on my thunderbolt I kind of messed up a little (turned out fine) but I kind of freaked out a little. So I'm just nervous to try it on this, rooting isn't too difficult...the roms and backing things up is what confuses me and scares me away

Did you S Off your TBolt? If not, that's probably why ROMs confused you. On an unlockable device, all you have to do is unlock boot loader (easy) and either root (easy) or flash a ROM (easy). You don't have to be on a specific build number or be on a specific kernel to flash things. As long as you flash the VZW (toro) version, you're good.

That's what confused me on the thunderbolt I guess.

What would be the easiest way about rooting and then putting a rom on...(one with great battery life).

Isn't rooting basically unlocking the device
