Yeah, I'm running Feb 14. Haven't run into any problems, but..y'know. New phone too.
Although...I may have to RMA it. I've got a line of pixels about 1/4 from the left side that runs blue in medium-darkness colours. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

I've been debating if I should get one too and sell off my gnex. Worth it?
What do you find it faster in particular?

What do you find it faster in particular? | I've only been using it half a day so far, but I've loaded up all the apps I had before and have everything brought over from my old phone. Snappier, quicker, and even on heavy memory draw apps like fullscreen flash games, it's a whole tonne quicker than my gnex.

Using Matr1x kernel and with Location Access off, I get 3 hours screen time on 3G. I don't use wifi at all. Max I get with Location Access on (Google Now, Maps.. etc in the background) is 2H 20M or so, which isn't too bad. I could have probably gotten the same results if I stayed with franco r53.
Unless something WOWs me with the next big update to PA3, I may switch back to stock. The PIE is neat, just fancy.
Still on PA 4.2.1 till my other Mods get updated.

What do you find it faster in particular? | I've used the nexus 4 for a couple of weeks now and it's great. Everything about it is better then my gnex, except for battery life. I was able to pull off 13+ hours on my gnex with 3.5-4hr of on screen time on the extended battery. Right now I can do about 12hrs and 1.5-2hrs of on screen time.

Granted I haven't had as much time to mess around with the nexus4, such as doing the battery life improvements that simplex123 posted a couple of weeks ago.
Should also mention that I always have 3g or wifi on, gps always on, screen usually min-20%.

I've been reading that the Nexus4 has problems with receiving notifications (ie. staying sync'd with google servers) while on wifi and screen off. People on xda complaining that they get a flood of all their whatsapp/gtalk/gmail messages and notifications when they turn their screen on.
I think it's been acknowledged by google that it's a known problem and the fix did not make it into 4.2.2. Have you guys noticed that as well?

I rarely use wifi so it doesn't affect me much. I believe it's something to do with keepawake while the screen is off. The Nexus 4 is very noticably faster in everything you do when compared to the Gnex.

You can still get lte by flashing 4.2.1 radio.. I choose not to tho since I don't really care for lte.. All I do is surf the net and barely watch YouTube on the go

so you guys really like this phone right? just that the battery is kind of weak?
I was thinking to get the noteII on Wind, but the nexus 4 seems to be the better choice, cheaper and smaller.

Note 2 surprisingly has great battery life, but you're subject to Samsung's update schedule

Just because it works doesn't mean it's optimized. Android itself isn't a very optimized os to begin with and probably not fully utilizing multi core processing. Also quad core chips are newer tech and therefore have better performance than say a older dual core chip which is why they're also faster overall. Quote:

Yeah, I've had my eye on that one too.
I put in a request to DX to see if they can get stock cheaper.
