Screen Capture

You do have to hold the down volume and power button for a second for the screen caputred image to skrink down with a white border around it and tell you in the Notifications "Screenshot Caputre: Touch to view your screenshot". Also the file is kept in /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots ... my initial attempts failed because I wasn't holding the key combo long enough.

Is there a way to make it so that I have the "slide" lockscreen but after I slide, I have to input a pin? I can't seem to enable them both and I like the slide lockscreen, but wanted some extra security.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Nope. Some ROMs (I think the newest version of GummyNex, at least) have this feature implemented though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Automatik50:
Good info. Thanks for the post.

How do you reset the default keyboard (so that it'll prompt me everytime which keyboard i want to use)?

sent from my Terran Command Center.

Edit: Made moot; Keyboard switcher found and the ROM happened to be disabling it by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
I think I'll throw a note into the first post saying that tips about ICS are only necessarily valid in stock builds. Seeing how custom ROMs keep throwing in features that sometimes make life difficult.

Does the homescreen rotate to landscape orientation?

No, it does not.

since this hasnt been updated im assuming nobody has mentioned it, the homescreen does rotate to landscape
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Except I'm pretty sure you're running a custom ROM there. Stock ICS does not have the homescreen rotate to landscape - not without plugging it into MHL or a dock.

Lag?

Wondering if this happens with other people...

When in messaging, with the keyboard up and ready to type.. if you hit home does the screen all go away smoothly? or does the top half of the screen leave first and then the keyboard (almost seems like a lag)??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] finnybro:
im still on 4.0.1

There isn't even news form my carrier of an update.

I'm on vodafone australia

Btw nice post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] preahko:
It can if you install Nova Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HtmdroidGN:
Happens to me to too , but doesn't look laggy to me ... top half dissapears and then the keyboard fades away after a second, I think its normal xD

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running on Rock n' Roll.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Same here. I'm pretty sure it's because the keyboard and the app are separate - so it takes a moment for the keyboard to close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HtmdroidGN:
Probably normal , since no one complains about it right? :)

New SGN owner here,

What version is in the latest/coming OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
You can add custom spelling to the default android keyboard. Just touch and word highlight in red and click on add to dictionary
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Or when you've typed in the word, tap on it in the auto-correct bar and then tap it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
These words are then added to your auto correct list....so you could fix that part of the first post. If you wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
This is adding custom words to the dictionary. I think the original question that part of the original post is referring to the ability to add a shortcut like typing "brb" and it auto-changing to "be right back" (bad example).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
ah, i suppose that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

Gmail app

Hello guys,

I have problem with Gmail app these days. If I delete email in app it stays in inbox folder if I check it on my PC. Have you ever had this problem? The same if I read the message, it stay marked as unread. Any ideas how to solve it?

I tried to wipe Gmail app data, but it didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmerrick:
You mentioned third party launchers in other questions, and that would be the correct answer as well. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
does this answer it? fairly simple I would have thought, even without a "guide"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Beat me to it. I took a screenshot out of the emulator, I guess I'll toss that in to the FAQ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
You should add:

No flash support (although surely there are beta versions that worked on the developer builds of ICS available somewhere).

Hidden lab settings in the browser under settings allowing full screen mode and quick jump controls

No Facebook integration in the contacts app which sucks I might add as I have most of my friends on Facebook!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] empoweredh22:
No Facebook integration at all, eh? I was worried about that based on all the Google+ screenshots I saw and knowing that stupid tiff is still going on. I love WP7 but no LTE models combined with being too tightly tied to Facebook have kept me from buying one. But I'm worried gnex has the opposite problem: Zero Facebook outside the app sucks since I really love phone number syncing. Hopefully cm9 will fix that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Unless I'm mistaken, Facebook integration comes when you have the Facebook app installed :) if it IS installed but still not there then something is up.

Unless Google is excluding Facebook integration on the GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
facebook has never been integrated beyond facebook's app...it just needs to be updated by facebook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
The new contacts app integrates Twitter and Google Plus but won't accept Facebook which is stupid.

There are lots of little bugs in ICS - not enough to spoil it but enough just to be aware it needs an update already to sort them out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
It's not a bug in ICS - Facebook just needs to update their app to implement the new social contact API.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
That's what i'm saying, that how you change the ringtone true, but not any custom tones from the ones i got "mp3s" you get the list of default tones that are provided with ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] empoweredh22:
About the Facebook issue...

There's always been an API so any app can plug its its contacts into Android's central contacts integration. That's how last.fm, Skype, LinkedIn, etc. all work. Facebook has never used this API; Android had special code that granted Facebook special access which is one of the reasons that Facebook used to come preinstalled on most Android phones.

About the time Google+ launched Google and Facebook's relationship went south. In an effort to get people to switch to G+ Facebook disabled contact exporting and wouldn't allow G+ to import friends from fb. Google retaliated, saying that users should be able to control their data however they like, including by exporting it. When fb didn't respond, Google removed the special privileges code from the Nexus S (although it was replaced by cyanogen like a day later for anyone that was rooted). Since fb and Google still haven't made up (Notice you can no longer import your Gmail contacts in the fb friend finder) it doesn't surprise me that fb integration is non-existent in ICS. Theoretically fb could simply update their app to use the universal API but fb is too pig-headed to do so. Hopefully someone gives on or cm9 solves the issue.

As for those "little bugs" in ICS, can you elaborate? I'm quite curious actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Oh, I misunderstood. I've always used the app Rings Extended, which intercepts when you want to change the ringtone for something and lets you choose a file manager or the Android system to pick a ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
Really where? I cannot find it anywhere and would really appreciate it if you could show me where the specific details are. Thank you.

btw in regards to the usb sd card issue, someone from google addressed it a little bit on reddit, seems to be tied to the usb mass storage http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mg14z/whoa_whoa_ics_doesnt_support_usb_mass_storage/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Yeah, the link I put in the "why no SD card" bit talks about that reddit discussion.

And as for the MHL-to-HDMI and USB OTG stuff, I'll do some digging later. I don't know the specifics on it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
The US Galaxy Nexus page just got stripped of all references to a 32GB model. It now lists 16GB only. This is not good...

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
I wonder if maybe this was edited to let Verizon be the one to say it has 32GB internal? After all, under "Network" is just says Varies. Yeah the other specs are for the LTE model, but... I dunno
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uvlight:
Can the customized ringtone heard through the Bluethooth headset device?

With my Nexus S, only the Beeps generated by bluetooth can be heard, but not the actual ringtone itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
I was able to change them using the rings extended and then removing the app it self with the ring tones intact.

I am not sure if it was built into the other versions of android as i've grown with CyanogenMod through out their process in the past years. so I'm not really sure if it was originally there as a default option to do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
You just need to put the ringtone in the appropriate folder in the media storage area.

See: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#SavingSharedFiles
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Now there's something I never knew before. People should try and see if that works out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
This worked. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Have you given the phone a discharge and then full charge? Mines no bad and i've been playing with it a lot

As for the data. It says on O2's site that if you go over your limit, they won't charge you but they will cap your speed at 15kbps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
I've been testing the battery today

Mines been off charge since 8am, i've been using it on off all day, got some footy scores being pushed, general browsing, bit of radio streaming and its at 45%...

Its about 8.5% per hour if I was out and not really using it maybe a few calls and such i'd easily make it between sleeps... which essentially will do anyone..

Does the screen rotate 360 degrees? That is, can you use it upside down, with the speaker at the bottom and the notification light at the top?

Also, does the homescreen rotate into a landscape view?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
The homescreen is able to rotate into landscape mode, but why the heck do you want to turn your phone with the speaker down?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yes that is me. Update on the ringtone thing, when using a custom ringtone from the Ringtones folder the phone will only ring once so I've reverted back to one of the stock ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
That sounds like a bug, it works fine for me in 2.2...

For the time being you could use a very, very long custom ringtone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
I have a couple of questions-

- If I buy from an importer, ie Handtech, and there is something wrong with my device later on, where would I go to get a handset exchange? Samsung? If so, do they send out a replacement before I send mine back? (I am a US customer on T-Mobile)

- Is there issues connecting the device to a Mac to move songs to and from? I read somewhere that Honeycomb and beyond devices have to use the Android Uploader, is this the software I would use to connect?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
As long as you run the stock rom, yes. You should at least. You might have to remove su and SuperUser.apk before installing the update but as it's Nexus it's always easy to put them back.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylerdurden:
Does the alarm application have a ramping volume option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
If you import it you will have to handle warranty claims through the store you purchased it. You might be able to contact Samsung UK directly too but it's probably easier to contact the store.

I highly doubt Samsung US would provide warranty on it though as they, unlike HTC, provide region-based warranty unless you get a warranty card for the US in the box.

That software should work, as well as any other software using MDP. ADB will also work.

To misquote the Apple slogan: "There's a button for that." ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
If i am not wrong in nexus s we did not have to remove superuser.apk in order to get the OTA update.Just to be in a stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Quite possible. The reason I mentioned it was because I had not checked it the check done for incremental updates cared about added files on /system or not. If it doesn't that would explain why it works fine.

Modified or removed files from /system should be a NO-NO though as either of the cases would cause the check to either fail because of an incorrect checksum or missing file (obviously).

You are probably right. If it worked on the Nexus S it should work the same on the GN. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
After reading FAQs it left me one simple annoying question..

- Can't I set my MP3 as a call ringtone by using native android music player just like any other android phones? Do I really have to use 3rd party app for that? If this is the case then Imma go pee pee on electric fence... *sad face*

Four questions.

I have read that there is only very basic video player support and that it does not play Xvid/Divx/MKV "out of the box" - Is this true?

I have read that the Notification LED only flashes briefly and does not remain blinking after an incoming message/call/alarm - Is this true?

Some people thought the Galaxy Nexus had and FM Radio like the Galaxy Note - can you confirm that there is no FM Radio.

Does the GPS use both the American GPS satellites and Russian Glonass satellites concurrently like the Galaxy Note?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
It does not have any FM Radio software, currently it is believe that the hardware should support it, but the implementation of FM Radio applications have not been done on AOSP which is why an app for it isn't present.

It's possible that ROM developers may step up to the game and hack in it, if there is indeed hardware support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
yes you can. i currently do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
It has always been possible to do that. The way it was done just wans't very obvious. In 2.3.x and earlier you just made a folder on your sdcard named "ringtones" and they would show up in the list of ringtones, along with the included ones. The same was possible for notifications etc.

right just spoke to o2 technical team. they are not due any new galaxy handsets with the volume bug fixed any time soon. He assured me he knew about the issue, they had all been briefed. they said no point swapping or sending the phone in for repair.

He also said that any new handsets would be shipped with the bug even if the fix came out tomorrow, and it would be down to the user to perform the OTA upgrade (once the patch is released)

My only option was to return the handset for a refund or different phone, which is not what i want at the moment.

so the story of them getting a 'new batch' in is a pure a internet rumour... sadly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kingken:

Assuming you're asking about the notifications drawer, no. But all you need to do is hit the settings button there and you get the toggles right in the main settings screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haugrud:
So here is a problem I'm having with Ice Cream Sandwich in general.

After putting in Exchange email info and having to use a pin code lock, the lockscreen is completely disabled and brings up just the screen to input the pin. This is very dumb, I want the new lockscreen, letting me choose the camera or unlock as you normally would...and then put in my pin. I'm not sure if this is the case for most phones, but I know it is like this for all of samsungs phones. The Sensation I have lets me use the app picker lockscreen, and then input my pin code. I'm positive that CM7 and MIUI roms all do this as well. I know there will probably custom roms that will do this but I'm wondering why Google never did this themselves. Very terrible design point I think.
