Nexus users are babies. They are pissed they don’t have 4.3 yet. Google rolls it out in phases, they can’t seems to understand that. ---

well my verizon gnex update will probably be 6 months behind, if it ever arrives. Aint nobody got time for that. My phone is HORRIBLY slow these days, so I’ve been waiting for this update to AT LEAST do a wipe, but figured new ROM + wipe should at least give me short-term better performance. ---

Whenever my S3 got buggy I would do a factory reset. I’m guessing my N4 should have 4.3 next week. ---

My phone is HORRIBLY slow these days, so I’ve been waiting for this update to AT LEAST do a wipe, but figured new ROM + wipe should at least give me short-term better performance. Toro already has a rom out for 4.3 using the official source build. I’m running MIUI rom on mine (installed through Goo Manager) and the battery life drastically improved, performance is also pretty solid. ---

The same thing happened with the nexus S when they released ISC for it, it got really slow because they focused on the Galaxy Nexus. The same thing is happening now with the Galaxy Nexus. I tried doing a factory reset on my girlfriends Galaxy nexus and it didnt do a thing so I would not expect it to change with 4.3 ---

I am convinced there was/is a bug in 4.2.2 that is causing lousy I/O. It was a drastic change from 4.1-\>4.2.2. Even people with Nexus 7’s were complaining about 4.2.2. Some people finger pointed the hardware, saying it is degredation in the storage. Others pointing fingers at garbage collection or other bugs in the OS. I hear ya either way. I am just trying to do what I can to extend the life of my device another few months into the fall. Then I will decide what my next device will be. ---
