[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Okay wait, I just saw the warranty statement on this site. Don't buy this. Go for the 24k one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:

maniacstore was once a reputed seller in ebay with score of more than 4100.....and u can trust him......now he started his own site and hez making money
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
it is not exactly 24 k it is around 24 k you can get it from here http://www.ebay.in/itm/BRAND-NEW-Sa...nes&hash=item1c27c2050e...this#ht_1420wt_1139

maiacstores not giving return warranty in case you got faulty nexus. if you find cheapest deal then please let me know....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akish4u:
...

Call once to maniac store.......my friend asked for the return warranty and they said they will replace the product id any problem with the piece....

if u r from banglore try contacting the seller in the above link and purchase from him directly than through ebay........it may for around 23.5k.........becoz on every product ebay gets 4% of the amount of the cost of the product and also no shipping is required
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
If they will replace the faulty nexus as u said than why they just don't mention return warrenty to their website ? Its not a matter that where do u live its all about term and condition of company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anshmiester78900:
If someone wants it for without any warranty then how much will it cost in India .!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
you can get it around 24 K without warranty but you can get seller warranty. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lakshay Sethi:
Hey i see that you put up in noida,if you get any deal of the galaxy nexus someone offering COD then do leme know aswell. Im looking for a galaxy nexus,but i dont wana buy online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepanshu sharma:
http://www.maniacstore.com/refund-policy.html

This is the refund policy they are offering.still call them first.its a good deal though if its legit.even im thinking of getting it from here.i guess ill wait for the review from the guy above who's friend ordered it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akish4u:
....

the seller shipped the product immediately after confirming the COD......but my friend went to his native place......wait till tuesday for my review on maniac store nexus:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
you also can confirm about Replacement Guarantee to call them on this number +91 (972) 700-6888 :D

Edit : alright i just call maniacstore and guess what ? What they telling me ? That there is no chance of faulty phone bcoz it is check by our company member but in case if it will be faulty then u only have one day to inform me. And on cash on delivery first of all u have to give payment then u will get it and before that u cant check mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lakshay Sethi:
Yeah same thing is what they told me,i was really surprised at that! Since they wont let me check the product,i guess there is no use of buying from them. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Does anybody tell me what is exact meaning of Cash On Delivery it is mean that we can't check product before payment ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] server3249:
I would really recommend not to buy this phone without a proper warranty. 6 months of software warranty is worthless. Don't encourage these Samsung cheapskates. 5 Nexus devices are coming in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepanshu sharma:
Which are going to be expensive.the reason why people are getting nexus these days is it has now become cheap and is the best option at this price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
5 nexus mobile near future :eek: you must be joking dude nexus phone release per year one phone in one year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
So can u plz suggest me cheaper deal to get nexus on ebay or from somewhere else ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] server3249:
You obviously don't keep track of the news so arguing is pointless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I didn't get you will you please explain ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
Galaxy Nexus is not going to launch in India (It's Official)

No, Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not going to launch in india. :( It's officially announced by Samsung India.

As it's not going to launch in India. There is no point to discuss about that!

That's absolutely fine. But make sure you are buying International GSM version. Not something like Verizon version.

Yes, it has MHL support :)

Yes, it's a full plastic body.

TI OMAP 4460 is rather old chipset compared to Exynos, which is the latest one from Samsung.

I have bought Galaxy Nexus for 24.5k from a local custom dealer. And I must mention that if you are a geek and want to have a phone that suits your geeky personality, this one is for you.:cool: If you wanna learn Android and dive deep into its features, planning to install Custom ROMs, Root, etc. then Galaxy Nexus is the best choice.

But, if you can't understand what i've written above:confused: and if you want it for normal (not-so-geeky) day-to-day usages, i'd recommend you to go for other counterpart like S2 or some HTC device. This one is not for the dumb users who just know how to operate a phone, nothing else.

So, make your decision wisely, as 24-25k is a big amount!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
The processors in OMAP 4460 are by no means old, They're same as the exynos,

and also clocked higher at 1.5Ghz (limited to 1.2Ghz by google for better battery life) The gpu is quite old, even though its clocked almost twice as fast as in the previous phone (the nexus s) and it plays HD games like 9mm or gta 3 neatly :)

google has optimized the software to run perfectly on the soc, which is why im a proud user of galaxy nexus :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Helping me to find out cheapest online deal to get NEXUS if anybody know then let me know please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Can't decide if I should go for the white GN or the grey one. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Nevermind. Got the grey\silver one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Go with grey one it look quite imperessive. Than white one. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Thanks. I just did that. I hope the phone will be defect-free and awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akh1989:
Does anyone know where I can get this in Hyderabad and price ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Without warranty Jagdish market , Abids...

With warranty NO WHERE :D

Price 23K~24K
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
OLD doesn't always means SLOW!!

I've said compared to Exynos, OMAP are old. By saying this, I'm no way in a mood to tell such a great processor an old and slow one. (OLD doesn't always means SLOW!!).

Difference between OMAP and exynos is that exynos uses a pair of arm a-7 along with a-15 where as omap uses a pair of MP4 cores but they are present for the same purpose I.e. handle mini processes thus to save battery just like the fifth companion core of tegra 3

Although tegra 3 is still like a child with a companion core in the party of grown ups and big player...:)

And personally, I'm pretty much satisfied with the performance of the device, and so does you...thus, I believe, there is no point extending this discussion.

24K with seller warranty ? can I get it cheaper somewhere else ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepayanneogi:
Where is this place actually ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
OK, so I got my device hand-delivered today. It was the UK version. But sadly, it seemed like it was a used device somehow re-packaged as a brand new one. Mainly because the phone did not have the protective factory cover on it, and the screen had small scratches and even a small dent at the bottom of the glass display. Gonna get it exchanged for another one and hope that it's alright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepanshu sharma:
From where did you bought it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Ebay.

If anyone in Bangalore is planning to buy a GNex, get in touch with this dealer:

http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280888230289&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:IN:1123

Although the above listing has ended, the seller might have some pieces. Send him a message on eBay and try your luck.

I picked up my GNex locally from him. It was a brand new, untouched and sealed piece with original protective factory cover. He stays in Hebbal and delivers across India, but I preferred to pick it up locally.

P.S I have no affiliation to the seller whatsoever. Just thought I'd help fellow Android users in getting a good deal.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Its a white color varient :( i always prefer dark color bcoz after some time white color seem dirty and yellowish. If you can then find me cheaper deal of black GNEX :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
As I said, I provided that link as a reference so that you could contact the seller. Send a message and ask him for the colors.

The one I bought is this color (Titanium silver)

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akh1989:
how much did u get it for ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Please provide me contact detail of seller because i dont have ebay account and never buy product from ebay so not able to contact seller. Give me mobile number if you can instead of email adderss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Its worth to buy nexus. Check it out

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/

Press thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
You could always create an account in Ebay and get the info yourself rather than asking him to do it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
For those who got a brand new unit recently: what Android version came pre-installed on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Mine was 4.0.0. After setting up the phone, I received 4.0.2 and 4.0.4 respectively.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

25K INR.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Thanks. That's proof enough that my device is not brand new. When I started my phone, it already had 4.0.4. Gonna ask Ebay for a refund. Item clearly not as described.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
No problem. Refund or a brand new sealed piece should be the agreement here. Do keep us folks updated as to how it turns out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
how to know you come from that you got brand new phone through just check android version wheather it is 4.0.4 or 4.0.0 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
As far as I know, Galaxy Nexus still comes with 4.0 by default. Even the one that Google sells via their Play Store (in the US) comes with Android 4.0 (confirmed from a friend who bought it in the US).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Exactly. I found it odd that a brand new device would already have 4.0.4 OOB. Someone HAD to have updated it manually.

I'll keep you guys updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
I don't think it's worth asking for an exchange if everything else is good. As long as the phone looks like new it's okay, who knows you might get a phone with a screen issue next time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
I totally agree. If you phone doesn't have any screen grainyness or purpleness issue, do NOT get a refund or return it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Actually, the phone does NOT look like new. It's got minor scratches and a few dents in the glass. Plus it also has the screen grainyness and purpleness issue.

Oh, and I should get a new one tomorrow. Here's hoping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
So I got the device exchanged today. The seller opened the box just to make sure the contents were brand new. But other than that, it was all good. This one even came with an Indian style charger as compared to the UK style charger I got with the first phone. So it's all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
so finally you got brand new nexus :D nice to know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Yeah I did.

For some reason, I'm not getting the update to 4.0.4. I got an update to 4.0.2, and that seems to be the most up to date one for my phone. Hmmm!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
I think you got German one, that have Indian style changer, and for updates you just check whether it's a yakju build or any other version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
as far as i concern you got different region phone because 4.0.4 is out for almost every region expect some region....

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

what about this deal guys ?

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Brand-New-Sa...68876?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4166ee522c
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gurudev32:
Good deal I can say. Bought my Nexus from same dealer. It's been about 2 weeks, I bought it for 25.2. Now quote is low as I see it's 24.

Got it as Brand New Sealed pack. OTA support is directly from Google. Charger pins are of Indian/German type.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Judging by the documentation, my phone came from Poland.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
The build is yakjuxw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
I don't think the 4.0.4 update is available for every build of Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Seems like that, yeah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Oh come on. I have a german Nex and I got the update instantly. Just root it and flash custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
From what I've read, yakjuxw hasn't received the official 4.0.4 update yet.

yakju is managed by Google while yakjuxw is controlled by Samsung and hence denying/delaying the 4.0.4 update (unknown source).

yakjuxw factory images aren't available in the official Google developers webpage as well.

Also, check this excellent thread:

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid build / Return to stock

If you're planning to root and install a custom ROM, all this shouldn't matter, of course.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
I think I'll just root it and flash AOKP or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Totally recommended. A custom ROM + a good kernel makes your Nexus even better. YMMV, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Since I'm new to the GNex, what is your favourite ROM and kernel?

Also, if I wipe the device, will my photos and other stuff in the memory be erased or not? I'm coming from an HTC Desire, where my personal data was saved on the SD card, and thus was safe from wipes. I don't know how they'll be treated on the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Well, just explore all the ROMs in the dev section. No ROM is perfect and generally the ROM that works for me (figuratively speaking) may not work you.

Check these ROM out: AOKP, CM9, Paranoid Android, LiquidSmooth-ICS, etc. Franco's kernel seems to be quite popular and it has worked perfectly fine for me.

Other kernels: GladOS (by ezekeel, whose kernel is the source of all other kernels), Trinity, etc.

Unlocking the bootloader WILL erase everything from your phone. So backup all your pics, data etc. This is the default behavior when you unlock the bootloader. Once you've unlocked the bootloader and rooted your phone, wiping from recovery (CWM) won't delete your personal fines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
That should be enough to get me started. :)

Yeah, I was worried that wiping from CMW would delete personal files. Thanks for the clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
guys please help me out to buy nexus because i am so confusing that from where i have to buy it bcoz most of guys told me that if you will get any fault then seller doesn't replace it or not responsible for any kind of fault so from where i have to buy it online ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynshetty:
I bought it from shopping.rediff.com

The price comes basically from Saudi Arabia and there isn't any fault,faulty pieces have a return policy of one year....check it out if u interested;it is listed as nexus prime not galaxy nexus(don't worry its the same)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
It is too costly dude instead i can get it from ebay which will be cheaper deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Just ask the seller if they'll exchange the phone if it has faults. Depending on their answer, choose to buy from then out not. It's quite simply, really. You're over-complicating things by adding other people rather than the seller themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I already asked to seller. And taking review from user. They told me that is no chance of faulty phone bcoz they check it by their own apart from it if it will be faulty then i have to return in next 24 hour !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Then what are you waiting for? Order it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
So like what should i do i m still confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Buy it or forget about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynshetty:
Seriously same as above ^^^ ....I would say u wouldn't regret it....the phone is a beauty and I bought it for 25000 RS with shipping which I think is a sweat deal...I don't trust eBay so much..

As far as what to do with the new phone flash the 4.0.4 via Odin made by chain fire;that ways u ll get OTA since the yakju ones are updated by Samsung not google

After that flash whatever u want;I flashed the AOKP with Franco kernal and its great:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Now i m thinking to buy GS2 bcoz i want to take a risk with lot of amount. Bcoz as you all knew nothing impossible in rooting and custom rom world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
What? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Confused bcoz now i m thinking that if i will faulty phone then what will i do bcoz it will not get warrenty in india even it will not repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Get it exchanged from the seller, just like I did. If you can't find a seller who is willing to exchange the device if it has a fault, then you're out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Does nexus having USB ON GO ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
^^Yes, using a OTG cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
If you are thinking to buy S2, then add some more bucks and buy S3. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
But there is a huge difference of money between S2 and S3 :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
seriously bro I've been seeing you in these fourms for close to a month now asking about the phone , about how people bought it , for cheapest deals.... if you wanna buy it ! buy it .... so many indians in this forum cant be stupid to buy one !...

sorry for the rant but come on do you wanna wait for galaxy s4 or next nexus(nexsu's ;)) ?

The phones good (rock solid ) in my opinion ... its a google phone for crying out loud get on the bandwagon and be part of the cutting edge andriod or get in line and wait for the wagon to come with other phones and their interpretation of andriod..

Peace out

just my Rs: 10 Bucks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
First of i clear each an every doubt whatever doubt i have bcoz may be you are rich or belong to rich family but i am not so i have to think 100 time to spend such huge amount i worth it such huge amount. When i will complete my quaries then i will buy it if it will take one more year why do you have problem ? Just give me loan i buy it today itself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
In that case, you will not be satisfied with the Gnex. Might as well start looking at other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
i understand what you are doing ... 24k is no laughing matter

about me being rich or you being not so rich bro that comes down to how much you want the phone ... its your money ! no one said other wise but kindly re- assert yourself if you really want this phone or not .. ask your self that cause know one can tell how cold the water is with out touching it ... if you want it take the plunge ... i'm not asking or pushing you to take my word for it ... but all the post that you have made for this device kinda reminds me of russel peters joke about our indian's being the inventors of Zero (if you know what i mean)

bro if your intrested in getting this phone as much as you say you do (judging from your posts) you should have no issues in getting this devices... you see its like love there is no holds bar in love or andriod :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zyryn:
Okay, 1st of all, there are two Indian Galaxy Nexus threads, is there some spat between ul Indian GNex Users ???:p:p

Okay now, i need some personal opinions on few things regarding this phone (forgive me for not searching:p)...

-For Gaming, on Stock or AOKP/CM9 wihout OC/UV and too many tweaks, do the following games work smoothly or there is lag ???

1. Nova 3

2. Gta3

3. Blood&Glory

4. Other Gameloft Games...

basically how is gaming performance with high-end games ??

-How is HD Video Playback on Stock and cm9/aokp roms? using MXVideo player n codecs, does everything play smoothly without choppiness??

-How is sunlight legibility on full brightness under direct sun ??

-How is the sound quality thru the Headphone jack ?? close to gs2(okay) or close to gs1(great) ?? Any idea which sound chip is used in this ??

-How much memory is user accesible for Media storage? is it around 11gb ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Firstly which phone you come from ? And your expectation of a omap processor?

Don't tell me your expecting crysis on this phone:D

Don't get me wrong I don't want the thread turned to a gnex advert :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zyryn:
Just check my sig for my phones..iv heard omap is better suited to calculations n tasks more than Games, but i dont have real knowledge on cpu stuff..

...re obv not crysis n all yaar, hence iv written some specific games na....nova3 is the only very new high graphics one...i was asking in terms of good games tht already exist which run smooth on say the s2....and at the same time not something as stupid and as simple as angry birds..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik_yerbouti:
Hey guys, what baseband version are you guys using ? I'm not having the best 3g performance with the stock baseband.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
I am on I9250XXLA2.

Verify if you have the matching RIL or not.

Install this app GetRIL and check if your RIL and baseband are matching or not. If not, download and install the matching one.

Might wanna wait till the Jelly Bean powered GNex becomes available!

Android 4.1 is Jelly Bean and coming soon, Play Store confirms

My 2 cents: S2 isn't worth it.
