I've a Galaxy Nexus and the cellular operator's 3G usage pop-ups in screen make my life hell. It just keeps on receiving them. Whenever there's a background transaction of data, even a kilobyte. That means if my phone is kept for 30 minutes and I get a call, I need to click through those 10-20 accumulated pop-up windows on my Android screen to receive the call or do anything on my phone. On mornings when there's no Wi-Fi I usually get some 70-100 such pop-ups. I counted. Sometimes I better switch off and then switch on the phone to avoid clicking through those pop-ups.
The cellular operator (Airtel India) says it's a feature and argues that every operator has it and that iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows (etc) users don't have this problem. True.
Samsung support says - this is Google feature and then is quick to add - but we never sold Galaxy Nexus in India. No support there. Sorry, bye-bye.
I go to raise a Google-code issue just like this. Well, there's one already logged - years old.
Of course without a fix or response from Google!
I'm an Android developer(day job) with a laaarge OEM but I doubt an Android is going to be my next phone. I am not comfortable with paying for anything very expansive then being on my own.
This is how Google provides support. They don't.
