[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] okplaya:
I'm not arguing your point, but just wondering why they can't announce that they're selling it unlocked in the US as they have for Europe? Like why does Amazon UK, but not Amazon US have it listed? Best Buy?

In my opinion, it seems like Verizon is controlling what can happen in the USA with the Galaxy Nexus, not Google/Samsung. So in that case, they are folding to the carrier. I just can't think of any logical reason besides that, as to why they won't announce the non-LTE, unlocked version for sale in the US, but will in Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I don't think anyone knows for sure. If you're looking for opinion I'd say Google is busy trying to strike deals with the carriers and see if they can make those carrier launches the "launch" in the US (as to not let the unlocked launch steal the thunder of the carriers). There's still no doubt to me that there will be an unlocked version sold right away in stores like Best Buy and online from the Google.com/nexus page. Whether or not there will be a huge announcement and advertising around it is another deal.

http://www.superetrader.co.uk redirects to http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk, so they could have been trading as superetrader before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
I agree that it's probably Verizon's fault, and while it sucks that we still don't have a US release date, I think (or hope) that the fact that we don't shows that Google is NOT folding to Verizon, and trying to work out terms to release it unlocked. (pure speculation)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well there's 2 different models. The VZW one is CDMA/LTE and the world unlocked one is GSM/HSPA+. That's why I'm hesitant to say that VZW is slowing the launch of the GSM version in the USA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
It's a lot deeper than that.

For example, Google would compromise the marketing value to the US carriers if they launched a SIM free Nexus.

And let's be honest. No phone is launched SIM free in the US. And for sure not a high profile one!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The Nexus One and Nexus S were. And that's why the Galaxy Nexus will be too.

But as I said earlier (a couple times), its clear that Google is trying to shoot for something larger on this launch (I'm sure they would love a 4-carrier release), and because of that they're delaying the announcement of official dates for the unlocked one as to not trample on their other launches they're setting up.

Regardless of which carriers pick it up, there will absolutely be an unlocked version. You have to come back and remember that at the end of the day this phone must be sold unlocked. It is a phone for developers!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clearym:
Both the N1 and the NS were launched in the US sim-free. I know, because I paid full price for both of them. I'm hoping to do the same for the GN...

EDIT: Sorry, I think I meant that as SIM unlocked instead of SIM free. I use mine on T-mobile, but for fun I have tried friends AT&T SIM cards and they do work (only connects to 2G edge though).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
My N1 and NS I bought retail brand new and they came with Tmo sims
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
This nexus is really accessory deprived I can't find any cases I asked otterbox if they were going to have a case for this GSM but I haven't heard back from them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But they were still unlocked. They were made with AWS bands for T-mo though so they're pretty much only compatible with T-mobile 3G. Hence the T-mo SIM cards...

It didn't stop you from putting an AT&T (or other carrier abroad)'s SIMs in it and using EDGE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Oh yeh, thanks!

The £31 a month one looks good to me, only 4 quid more than my current contract and if I send my Hero to Orange I'll get 50 quid for it which will cover the cost of the phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Google tried with the Nexus 1 to sell completely unlocked in the US on their own and it didn't work out so well for them. Yes the phone was crazy popular amongst us enthusiasts, but the general consumer either didn't know about the phone or quickly turned away from the hefty price attached to it. You have to admit it's hard to get someone to spend $500-$600 on a phone when they're used to spending no more than $100-$200. What made the Nexus S a much better seller was that you could get it subsidized if you had T-Mobile (and later AT&T/Sprint) as well as walk into a brick and mortar store and test it out before buying. There's a reason the NS is still being sold new with the GN about to drop and new sales of the N1 had stopped when the NS was released and that is because they worked with the carriers. Enthusiasts like us do loads of whining and complaining and if all they had to depend on was us then we'd probably not even get another Nexus. For it to be successful they have to attract as many consumers to their device as possible and that means playing ball with some of what the carriers want.

As far as launching overseas first, that is nothing new. Microsoft just made that huge deal with Nokia and as you can see all those phones are only being sold overseas right now with no announcement about a US release. If I recall correctly, didn't the G1 launch first in the UK and the states shortly after? I know the Cupcake update was pushed to UK customers about 2 weeks before we got it (you had to root if you wanted it any sooner) so this is nothing new for Google.

Take a chill pill. It's November so it can't be that much longer and those that can/want to can but it unlocked in less than two weeks. Those waiting for Verizon... sorry, but still there should be an announcement soon. It's probably because of that pesky RAZR, but if you look at that MAP thing that got leaked the first date mentioned for the RAZR was the 27th which we now know was the pre-order date and the actual ship/release date is the 11th so it would follow that you'll be able to pre-order on the 10th and have a ship/released date on the 21st.

i just pre-ordered on ebay for $599.99, the 32gb gsm version for tmobile. I think that is a pretty awesome deal considering it is the 32gb version, on the other hand not sure if this is a scam, doesn't look like it, but we're protection by the buyer protection program plus I used AX to pay for it, so I would think i'm pretty safe

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akpirani83:
Pre-ordered the 32gb gsm version on ebay for $599.99!

just ordered this on ebay from the seller cakalyasin for $599.99! I think it's a pretty awesome deal because it's the gsm version that will work on tmobile and also the fact it is 32gb. I just hope it's not a scam but I think we're pretty well protected by the ebay buyer protection program and also I paid with AX to be a little extra safe. What does everyone think of this deal?

Started on Taboonay 2.2 with Villian Kernel v3.7.

Encrypted Tablet with PIN.

Formatted Cache, Data, System, and Flexrom.

Flashed Thor's 3.2.1 Asus Transformer Rom.

Upon booting I am asked for my encryption key. It is invalid somehow password is changed in the process.

Formatted Cache, Data, System, and Flexrom

Reverted back to Previous setup (assuming everything was formatted) by:

Installing Taboonay 2.1.zip

Installing Taboonay 2.2 update.zip

Installing Villian kernel v3.7.

Upon booting I am asked for my PIN which I enter and it proceeds to load my previous setup... completely intact, all settings, apps, and data are present. So, it didnt format anything (i forgot to do a full backup but did back up with Titanium). Seems weird that recovery didnt format anything. Or did the encryption prevent it somehow?

I'm kinda lost on this guys...

So setup is:

If you backed up and restored all available options with titaniumbackup, it may seem like the tablet wasn't changed at all, however its just been completely restored and thus has all the same look and settings.

Try starting from scratch and only restoring contacts, do everything else manually without a restore.

[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
When you encrypt your tablet, CWM can't access your data partition, so it can't erase it, backup it or restore it. Before changing ROMs, besides updating or downgrading stock ROMs, is better to decrypt everything (and the only way is to copy all your tablet data to your computer and do a factory restore, wiping everything).

My tablet is encrypted, :D
[Acer Iconia A500] WarbyD:
Well.. im glad I stumbled across this thread before trying to change roms! I've got lightspeed at the moment but was planning today to try a different rom.. This issue would have had me pulling my hair out :)

Encrypted my tablet to access work email through our exchange server.. which worked fine for a couple of days and now won't sync because it supposedly requires updated security settings (but doesn't seem to want to actually tell me what settings it is that needs updating or how to go about that..) *grumbles*
[Acer Iconia A500] Caz666:
+1

I went through about the same. Luckily Android is pretty good not carrying which ROM encrypted the tablet. I encrypted with stock, rooted and then installed lightspeed. When I noticed I still had the same pin,I tried to manually delete /data to no avail. So I did a factory reset from lightspeed and ended up with a decrypted /data and my ROM. I then wiped all just to be sure...but really was probably ok already.

This script was not written for high end devices such as this one... Or anything with a dual core CPU... You might see a difference using a single core but this script was written for Ram management on lower end devices and devices with little ram... Using on a 1.5Ghz dualcore phone with 1GB of ram might imo be a waste of time...

I used to use this on my G2x, my quadrants and all benchmarks JUMPED with it, and worked REALLY well for it. But with the Amaze (I've already used it etc etc) I don't see any difference, the amaze's amount of ram is probably a big contributor to that fact but also probably the version of Android also, as my G2x was running 2.3.3....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mrperf3ct:
It's the ram and the cpu the g2x is a 1Ghz dualcore we have 1.5Ghz dualcore the g2x only has a couple hundred MBs or ram amaze is 1GB... And that's why u see no improvement...

Oh... and the lower end device cannot choose this option:

[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Here's an older version of the Facebook app you can try. I stopped using Facebook a while back, this is the version that I have backed up with TB (1.5.4).

If it works then you know that it's the version of FB you're using. If it doesn't work, you know it's something else - rom related, account related, network problems, etc.

If you are restoring app data with Titanium Backup when you reinstall, it could be something in the data causing problems. If you haven't already, un/reinstall your current version without restoring data.
[EVO 4G General] dwelder:
You can also clear the data and cache in your settings for that app. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>select the facebook app from the list. Pres clear cache and press clear data. You will have to sign back into Facebook after doing all that. Let me know if this helped.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
Hey guys. as many of you know i am no stranger to the Android system, although i have been pretty much totally absent from the forums since i got a job with limited privelages on my comp.

Before I explain what happened to me, i should say that i have not made ANY changes to my system for at least 4 months, with the exception of build.prop updates, which i my phone has been running fine on for weeks. i found a setup i liked and ive been running it, along with the same root applications, for quite some time.

With that said, heres my timeline of events:

Normal day, doing what i always do on my phone everyday: phone was plugged in to a wall outlet at my desk. streaming music, browsing web, youtube, etc. nothing out of the ordinary

i first noticed something wierd was up when i went to install an old .apk i had saved on my sd card. i opened it through file manager which, naturally, brought up the stock package installer. i clicked ok to install, and it said "installing"..however it nevver finished. it was stuck on "installing" for several minutes. i tried a couple more times, same thing kept happening. i had no idea what was going on.

i went into settings>applications>manage applications. i scrolled down to package installer and clicked on it, with the intention of clearing cache/data, however the values never loaded, it just kept saying "computing". it was doing that for all other apps i checked as well.

then i opened titanium backup and wiped data for package installer through that. operation was performed successfully.

i went to reboot my phone, and thats the last thing it remembers. now whenever i try to turn my phone on, it gets past the kernel splash screen and its all black from there (i have the "no boot anamiation" command in my build.prop). the only response i get at that point is the led buttons will light up if i tap them. i have to pull the battery to turn the phone off/reboot.

i tried pushing packageinstaller.apk to /system/app using adb but that didnt solved anything. i also tried wiping cache/dalvik and fixing permissions through clockwork. nothing has worked.

i am running Froyo Trigger w/ Bali kernel.

sorry for the long post, but i figured id be as detailed as possible to minimize questions.

any suggestions would be great. i ask that no one please suggest factory reset/reflash/odin. i realize that those options are there, but i consider them last resorts. id rather brainstorm a solution than bail immediately.

thanks ahead.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
also i forgot to mention, there was nothing wrong with the .apk i was originally trying to install. i have installed it/uninstalled it many times. i tested other .apk files i had, but package installer still behaved the same way

Got your PM

Have you tried to capture a logcat while you're phone is booting? That might tell us what is failing or hanging your boot cycle.

I wouldn't call Odin a last resort personally. Most of the time its the cleanest way to get back to a perfect running state.

Try to get that logcat though, and post it up here. It might not work at all, depends on whether the phone even gets to the portion of the boot cycle where logcat even works, but its worth a shot if you want to investigate the problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
not sure if i should be embarrassed to admit this, but ive never used logcat...ill look into that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Your first step there is to get the android sdk setup on your pc, then once adb is part of your command line the simple command is "adb logcat" without it quotes. That will start the log displaying in the command line window.

There are other options with the logcat command, that output the log to a text document and its more in depth, but I dont remember it off the top of my head. Maybe someone can post it for you.

The only caveat is how far your phone is booting before it hangs, I think logcat will show something, but won't know for sure until you try it.
