I think because if you have reason to use a pin code lock, you have reason enough to lock your phone down so only you can unlock it (being able to get access to the camera - or other apps - ignoring the pin unlock is kind of going against the point of such security)

I agree that maybe Google should give users a choice in the matter, but it's more from a security standpoint.

Also, if you're able to get access to the camera app circumventing a PIN unlock, unless Google was to put in a way of saying "hey, you didn't properly unlock the phone so you can't do that" what's to stop you from going through the camera app to, say, the email app (trying to share a picture you just took?) or doing other nefarious things?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kingken:
thank.. u ans my question.. funny that gingerbread have notification drawer but ICS it is remove.. so much troublesome to toggle bluetooth n wifi for ICS..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haugrud:
Well I don't know if you know what I mean exactly. I want it work just like it does on my Sensation with Sense. I use the pin lock function, I also have 4 shortcuts (phone, gmail, exchange, text) that I use all the time. After I drag these shortcuts to the lock ring, I am prompted with a pin to continue the unlock process, then once I do that it takes me to gmail. Why the hell cant Google do this with ICS? I mean, it takes all the fun out of unlocking the phone :rolleyes: I could swipe to go to the camera, boom enter you pin, then I'm magically presented with the camera. Way better than entering the phone and then going to the camera app (and faster). And it also looks god ****ing awful being presented with a numeric pad for a lockscreen. Do Not Want. I'm not sure if stock Gingerbread or Froyo did this, or if it was just Samsungs influence. I know for a fact CM7 did not do this, nor does MIUI and of course HTC Sense. Get with the times.

But for the most part, I know there will be a mod out there for this, hopefully, or I will have to learn some stuff and try and do it myself (unlikely)

And I must not be the only one with this gripe either. I'm sure there are a ton of you that are just like me and want that fine looking lockscreen with some nice wave animations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Stock Gingerbread doesn't. You must be one of those people brought up in the Android community on Touchwiz or such :)

I'm pretty sure it's been OEM skins that have had this sort of behavior. In fact, if I'm not mistaken my brother's Droid 2 has/had the unlock slider which brought up pattern unlock. Sort of redundant but whatever.

And actually the behavior you're talking about did occur to me, I just think Google figured that it might be a more intuitive security method to just say "hey, you need to enter a pin to unlock me" than to have you slide to unlock and then "hey, guess what? enter a pin too". Same sort of reasoning as why with pattern unlock/face unlock/etc. there isn't a camera option? Because you'd still need to unlock, so why not just have the user unlock the phone then go to the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haugrud:
It is faster, that is the only reason why. I was going to say more informational as well, but I just checked and the pin unlock screen does have charging and time. Slide to the left, enter pin, camera instantly. That is way quicker than entering pin, being presented with the homescreen, then going to the camera.

Personal choice I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G__ROW:
Is there a way to add phone numbers to a blacklist like I could on my N1, or was that a CM feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] usb7:
Thanks for all the info!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
It was a CM feature as far as I can remember.

Is there any news on 32GB HSPA+ versions? People are mentioning them in posts but its just speculation still right?

OP, BTW the link for the LTE version now states storage is 32GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwboston:
No official news that I've seen, but both Handtec and Expansys say it is "coming soon" and Expansys has a pre-order for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
The previously mentioned link

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

now shows the LTE, 1850 battery and 32 GB mem. This is obviously the LTE version. I have not seen google's nexus tech-specs for the non-LTE version.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You will see them if you change to United Kingdom at the bottom right of the page. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psero:
Does anyone know what bands the verizon version uses? I read somewhere that "the verizon GN supports the ability to go overseas and use GSM networks. In the states it does do 800, 1900﻿ MHz on the CDMA networks, but Dual-band 900/1800 MHz GSM/GPRS (outside North America)."

Does this mean I can pop in a GSM card into a verizon GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArclightX:
Regarding the GSM Global Model. I would recommend adding a point that speaks to the issue of which providers are SIM Locking their Galaxy Nexii, Which one's aren't, for the ones that are SIM Locked, perhaps providing a link to a confirmed & reputable resource that can easily provide an unlock code, etc.. etc..

Additionally, if you can include/provide any background info regarding the question:

"Okay but what hell is with my Galaxy Nexus being SIM Locked in the first place!!?? This is the defacto Google Developer Phone first and foremost and like all previous Nexus Devices has no business being SIM Locked to begin with!!???"

Thanks for your time! Love the FAQ btw, well done indeed!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Face unlock reconizes me with and without my glasses (setup was done with glasses)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
@blunden: Thanks, found them. I guess I ordered the HSPA+ version, and not the LTE version from Expansys. Too bad, although I would rather have gotten the LTE version, I guess it would probably have been US$100+ more. Mine is now in Illinois at the Fedex Distribution Center there. I am guessing it will be delivered today or tomorrow (if they do Sat deliveries). Hope so, would have to wait until Mon, all the while I am looking at their tracking system saying it is the local town's distribution center awaiting local delivery. That happened to me once with a jewelery delivery for the wife's birthday.

Thanks. Now I can not worry about that. Howabout sunglasses? Can you try them?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Does anyone know if ICS will allow us to modify app permissions (like the CM7 'Permission Management' feature)?

Another question: Can you toggle 2g/3g out of the box (yes, again like in CM7) :) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
There's a feature to send "all calls to voicemail" for each contact, within ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G__ROW:
Yeah I've seen that feature, but I was hoping to just be able to block telemarketers. I guess I could add them into a contact and enable that setting if they keep calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Does anyone know under the Advanced Settings in the ICS keyboard, what is "key popup dismiss delay"? I tried both options and didn't really notice anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Ι cant find in the camera app the option with funny faces...anyone? :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
I think you get those options when doing video recording?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I would be extremely surprised if it did that considering all the negative publicity it stirred up initially. It will also cause too many issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clyzm:
Those are only in video or editing a picture you've already taken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Υeap only in video recording not in picture editing. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
I cant find an option for safe remove of MTP through the phone...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imfloflo:
The google search bar on all screens can be remove, just go in the search apps and disable it in settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
However, that space where it used to be cannot be "used" to place other widgets, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Ok thanks...how do you safe remove the MTP connection before unplug the usb cable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You probably don't need to since unlike with Mass storage your computer never actually mounts or has direct control over the filesystem on the device. Instead it's handled by the phone so those kind of issues shouldn't occur at all. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Why does the Android keyboard still think people type "ill" more than "I'll"?

:confused:

There's no easy way to type "I'll" except typing "ill" then selecting "I'll" from the suggestion bar. This is stupid. Typing "il" results in three choices in the suggestion bar: Il, Ill, or Illinois.

wtfux Google?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Why can't I resize the widgets? I thought you were meant to just long press until the resize icons come up but the only option that comes up is to move it or send it to the Trash Can...?

How do I resize a widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Not every widget is resizable. But otherwise you're doing it right - long-press, and if the resize border comes up you can resize it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
I havent seen anyone posting it but FINALLY we have Browser Synch through Gmail account...hallelouyia Google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Yes it can. My car stereo pulls my entire phone book via bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Is there an option to remove vibration from side unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
I have a question. I set it to Vibrate Mode during Silent but my phone doesn't vibrate when I get a text which is quite annoying, as often I have my phone in my pocket and I like to feel a vibrate when I'm not in a position to have a notification tone ring out loud so I kind of need this. Anyone know how to get it working for text messages in particular? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Do you have vibrate for new texts enabled in the messaging app settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Got it working now, thanks for that!

Android Terminology

Hi all,

I am new to android. I am planning to buy GN. I have used nokia phones so far (all below $150).

I dont know what is ROM, OTG , all buzz words etc. Can some one please direct me to some nubish threads about Android so that I can understand what other talking about, here...Thanks for reading.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superfunhappydi:
Does it not automatically go into Car Mode when contact is made with the pins of the dock itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leprekorn:
Looking at the videos on mobile fun it doesn't seem to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrl022:
I also have this issue and would prefer the behavior you describe as well, but that doesn't bother me so much as having to re-enter my PIN every time I unlock my device regardless of the time I set for it to "automatically lock". On my SGSII I could turn my screen off and, so long as the time passed didn't exceed whatever I had specified, I was presented with the swipe away standard lock lock screen upon waking the phone. With my GN if I hit the power button to put it to sleep then immediately press again I am forced to re-enter my PIN, which is annoying.

And I'm fairly certain it's not a problem on the Exchange server because all the previous devices that I've operated on this server have followed similar behavior to the SGSII (I've used a BB Curve, Droid X, SGSII, and iPhone 4). On none of those did I have to enter my PIN as exceedingly often as I do now.

Is there something I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mo7been:

Google+ takes up 82.46MB on my Galaxy Nexus. The app size is 20.39MB but it has also taken up 60.33MB of USB storage data. What does that mean and why is it taking so much space up?!

Also, is there anyway of transferring over my game saves from my Nexus One to my Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
Stock Android doesn't work like that atleast.

Put the device to sleep manually and it will instantly lock, exchange or not.

The pin requirement is an exchange security policy though and shouldn't be overridden by the device.

That's definitely not typical, in my case anyway. to get that pattern of battery usage I'd have to be constantly doing things like surfing, listening to music, playing games. That's with dominanx's high end rom, overclocked to 1.5GB.
