Samsung Galaxy Nexus-camera and browser issue

So I posted on G+ the other day the frustration I was having with my GNex.
The camera sometimes decides it doesn't want to work. It's so random, hard to pinpoint when it will happen besides the most inopportune time!
Also, sometimes the browser will refuse to...well, browse! And this is bother stock and chrome.
At the suggestion of a fellow G+ er I'm posting all my apps to see if anyone knows any issues these or combination of these may cause or have caused.
Let me know.
Thanks a billion!

P.S. I was hopeful at one point that there would be a patch sent for some of the known issues but that hasn't happened. Jellybean hasn't happened yet either...hmmm
I still have my OG Droid....could find me a cool rom.

MyGalaxyNexus :-)

So I finally upgraded from my OG Droid!! Its been 3 hours and I'm satisfied... not yet in love...bit I can feel the sparks!

Hour 1- the ride home...on my first call I experienced great sound quality, which is key for me as I have some issues with hearing sometimes. I do absolutely love the screen when on a call. I always wanted the picture of the contact to take up most of the screen instead of that little box.

Hour 2- initial set up phase... I plugged in the phone to charge it. Its still charging ...please tell me because I'm using it too :-/

Hour 3 - finding things I don't like...so I will fully test when its done charging but why can you still view the notification bar when the screen is locked? What foes the lockscreen represent if its not preventing unwanted access??? Also, I put all my music onto this phone from old memory card. I have all my Mary albums and not one of them moved over! WHY??? Again will fully test at a later date. And why do the apps automatically put an icon on the home screen? I *sigh*

Moving forward as my girl Miki says...I will keep you posted!

Thanks for reading...stay tuned.

Annnoyed at Verizon and Motorola

Please don't misunderstand this entry as a bashing of my beloved DROID but I'm pissed off!

Last month I recieved my 4th DROID, 3rd replacement...uhhh why?? Good question!
Honestly, at this point, I can't even recall what happened to all of them but issues have varied: charging port, power button, etc. This last replacement decides at a whim it just doesn't want to function and stops.
Verizon informed me that this is my last replacement, I can no longer get replacements because the warranty for the phone is over.  Excuse me, WTF do I have insurance if not to cover a phone that is no longer under warranty??
So, I said I would call Motorola and see if they will take some responsibility for their product. Basically, NO. Phone is out of warranty, so it's not their problem is their basic response. Well, the response I was finally able to get after trying to contact via live chat on the web, email and phone call. I think the warranty should be extended with each replacement should a real issue be found. 

I had been waiting for a phone to come along to upgrade to and had decided on the upcoming nexus but this VZW dude tried to convince me it should be the DROID razr...because it's the fastest. Yeah, probably the fastest to piss me off! I'm thinking Motorola makes BUSTED CRAP! I love my DROID, when it's working, everyone knows I do, but this right here....has got me HEATED!

Obviously VZW provides substandard  products and hopes that the network makes up for that....What are my options??


Shall I go the BBB route? I don't know...I need some feedback from Verizon folks, original DROID owners and all the rest of you. This can't be let go.

DROID doesn't...shhh, don't tell too many people...lol

As I've stated before...I have been having a love affair...yes, a love affair with my DROID. You have all seen the commercials...DROID DOES...well it has been my experience that there are some things that DROID doesn't. I don't particularly like to admit it but the "almighty Iphone sure has a laundry list of doesn'ts too!
I'm hoping by listing them either someone will point me to how it actually DOES or Google will make sure that it DOES in the not too distant future. One can only wish, hope and pray...so here it goes...

*PHONE OFF/ALARM STILL SOUNDS
I don't remember which of my many phones in the past were able to do this but I know for a fact that the Blackberry does it now. This is really convenient in terms of battery saver. Not only that but sometimes you don't want the other notifications sounding.
A wish would be to be able to turn off notifications from certain people during those hours one click so that if you forget its something simple to do without waking up completely...lol

*CALENDAR: EVENT REOCCURRING EVERY 2 WEEKS
Why wouldn't this option be available? Every 2 weeks seems like the most common reoccurrance ever! I think this is the most annoying aspect of using the calendar on the DROID.

*EASY SCREENSHOTS
I believe it may be easy if you are rooted but I'm talking about for the non-rooted, not tied to the desktop screenshots. One of the home replacement apps has it...I think it should be standard!

Are there any more that I have missed??
Are any of these options available in the Droid X or Droid 2?

Let me know...
I have said my piece...at least for now..I may have to revisit this topic
