[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Okay, I downloaded your SystemUI.apk file, and removed the classes.dex file using 7zip and decompiled that using a Java command and baksmali. I made the edits, recompiled the new classes.dex file using a Java command and smali.

It's a different way of doing things, and how I first learned to hide the location icon, and status bar clock so I feel most comfortable with doing it that way.

Attached is the updated SystemUI.apk you provided, with *hopefully* a hidden location icon from the status bar.

The easiest way to do this:

Hook phone up to computer via USB, reboot into Recovey.

Mount /system.

Open command prompt, CD to your SDK/platform-tools directory.

Type in: adb shell

Type in: cd /system/app

Type in: cp SystemUI.apk SystemUI.bak

NOTE: This makes a copy of SystemUI.apk named SystemUI.bak.

Type in: rm SystemUI.apk

NOTE: This removes SystemUI.apk, we can always to the opposite of the cp command from above to get the original back.

Type in: exit

Now make sure your modded SystemUI.apk is in your SDK/platform-tools folder, then type: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/

Now let's make sure that the permissions will be correct, so adb shell back into your phone, and then type cd /system/app.

Lastly, type: chmod 0644 SystemUI.apk

Hit Enter.

Type in: exit

We're done, reboot your phone.

I want to say thanks for helping me out today.

I learned some things and got the location icon removed from the statusbar.

This sounds like a win!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Dude, that's great to hear! I love sharing what I've learned, and am glad you took the time and learned something! This stuff is fun, so continue learning!

It's a total win! If you wanna know the Java commands to decompile classes.dex, let me know, and I can pass that knowledge on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fred23:
I think I'll be doing a wander round some of the local stores today. I won't buy from Phones4U, so will be checking out what O2 and Three are doing on PAYG. (Are there any others at the moment?)

The questions are:

- Are the PAYG phones network locked?

- Has anyone managed to get one unlocked by the network yet?

- Has anyone used this eBay unlock successfully?

Collated info from posts below and other threads:

- O2 is locked

- Three isn't locked

- Unlocking via that eBay link works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marchelo2000:
Three is not locked. They posted info about it on their Twitter.

I bought yesterday from Three. It works with Russian SIM card (roaming).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fred23:
Thanks for that. And I've found a Three shop that will sell me one on PAYG.

I'll update the first post as info comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
i have a locked o2 one and used that ebay link above, it worked code received within 5 mins!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
same for me contract o2 locked unlocked with ebay seller £7 in half an hour
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
yeah i recommend that seller, very happy with his service
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fred23:
Just got a Three PAYG and works fine with Orange. The staff at the Three store in Crawley are so much nicer and more helpful that Phones4FU. Cheaper phone (£500 + £15 for SIM) too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD1022:
Long time ex nexus one owning lurker. The ebay seller aboves unlock code worked perfectly on galaxy nexus O2 UK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
Have it on mine

bought from Phones4u in the Trafford centre, Manchester
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
This looks really bad. While I am sure many people who don't have this problem won't even bother to vote in this thread, the fact that there's just one vote for someone who does not have a problem, is a surprise. I expected 50%-50% at worst.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Bought mine from O2 store in Liverpool. Problem continues even after factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaketurbo:
Phones4u market street manchester.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I also posted the problem on Samsung UK Facebook page, those of you who have a problem should post there too so they are made aware of the problem. This might help get to the bottom of things quicker.

https://www.facebook.com/SamsungUK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Anyone reported to Google support forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
dont have the device yet so would be hard for me to respond when google asks for logs etc. That would be the best thing to do though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
According to this video, it seriously looks like a hardware issue, so letting us know where you got the phone would be even more helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Thanks for the video.... Looks like I gotta be grateful I can't get the Galaxy Nexus yet. If its sw, i expect an update soon... But something tells me, its a hw issue in a certain batch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sama:
Anyone know where the Google support forum is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leprekorn:
I haven't noticed any problem with my phone but I have locale installed so I'm not sure if that is masking the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spamlucal:
to those trying to replicate, try turning off wifi, then disabling 3G (settings - wireless & networks - more - mobile networks - use only 2G networks). When it connects, get some data going (load a large website for example), or make a call, see if that sets it off.

it may not work 100% of the time (if it's really radio interference, there are a lot of variables) but it seems to be related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I do have this issue. Got mine at the launch event at the Oxford Street Phones 4U.

Anyway in the other thread it looks like people are narrowing down the problem to something related to 3G or Wi-Fi signal. I think that might be the case since it had only happened to me while I am outside and not connected to Wi-Fi. (I use JuiceDefender to automatically disable Wi-Fi if it doesn't find any known spots)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seakins:
I got mine from Oxford St. too. Same problem here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
had this problem yesterday with my vodafone sim.

been using it with my o2 sim today and not had the issue occur.

doubt the network would be an issue but thought i'ld just throw it in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GN_ICS:
yep, I have the problem too. I got mine from Phones 4 u On the lauch day in Oxford Circus. Hope this is not HW related!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
I seem to have this problem intermittently. Thought it was just me doing something wrong.

Got mine from O2 over the phone.

I'm assuming it can be fixed with a software patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
Im also having this issue. Purchased from phones4u today 19th nov 2011.

Dosnt happen all the time though. It did happen when i had my old desire next to it and was loading spotify on my desire....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonzlobo:
What software version does everyone have? Hopefully the next (assuming 4.0.2) will fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harsaphes:
Gizmodo is reporting it this AM.

http://gizmodo.com/5861340/galaxy-nexus-doesnt-support-flash-player-plus-the-volumes-a-bit-knackered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
As I said before in the other thread, this seems to sort the problem but the side effect is arguably just as bad.

Sure you don't get the volume issue - but you get a complete loss of signal whenever you would have had the problem before, as the phone can't drop to a 2G connection.

It's not a valid workaround, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I have just got back from the O2 shop in Liverpool where I bought my phone. Explained the whole situation to them, and they seemed pretty clueless (the guy I was being dealt with didn't even know they had begun selling the phones!).

I have a replacement handset now, and I have put it into 2G mode. Shall be checking to see if I encounter the problem again.

RE: media coverage, it seems to be a joke. Why aren't they taking notice of this? Why isn't Google responding to this at all? Why isn't Samsung responding on their Facebook page?

This is obviously a big issue.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Have had the replacement phone on 2G mode for 5 mins and it is doing it.

This is definitely a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duddyroar:
CNET UK have reported the issue. So have Pocket Gamer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Oh ok, I thought that will only disable DATA only ... not VOICE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
No, the signal was lost COMPLETELY when I tried it. No data, voice, SMS - nothing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I am really interested if there's a user that uses one of the GSM 900 SIM cards and 2G connections and does not have this issue while using 2G.

If every manufactured phone has it, then Galaxy Nexus was released without being tested in GSM 900 zones. This is very likely, since Samsung is a South Korean company that does not use GSM 900. This would lead to mass recall and very, very bad publicity for Google and Android even more than Samsung, despite it being Samsungs fault.

If not every manufactured phone has it, then it is possible that there was a faulty batch of phones (but a seriously large number of them, apparently) released in UK.

Are locked and unlocked phones manufactured differently? Is there a chance this weeks unlocked phones don't have this issue, but since none have dispatched yet, no one really knows.

I am still close to canceling my pre-order with Clove in fear of mass recall, but part of me is hopeful that this is a software problem (very unlikely) or a batch issue (likely) instead of issue with all the devices (most likely).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Just got off the phone with the O2 store again, informed them that my replacement handset that I just got replaced within the hour, is showing the exact same problem. Seemed I was speaking to the manager, and after discussing the issue with her in detail, she said she'll be advising all her staff not to sell the handset to customers and that they'll be getting in touch with their distribution to possibly get the stock recalled.

I have 14 days from last Friday to go and get my full refund. I will hold onto the phone as long as I can before doing so.

If you are experiencing this problem I highly advise you to get in touch with the retailer or online store that you bought the phone from and arrange to firstly get a replacement, and then if the problem persists, claim your full refund before the 14 day period is over. Otherwise you will be stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
The 14 day grace period to return the phone is the "cool down" period when you have a chance to change your mind about the phone but this is different. If the phone is shipped and is faulty, then it's the manufacturers duty to replace it. It is covered by the one year warranty. Isn't it?

I live in Korea and have had the phone shipped here. I will have no choice but to use it on WCDMA 2100Mhz so the problem will never be reproducible until I get back to the UK in April. Worst case, I'll smash the phone and get a replacement on the insurance.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I agree with the above post, but I don't think you will be stuck it will just mean a slightly longer process because you would have to go through the manufacturer (Samsung) other than the retailer (O2, P4U etc.). I would advise getting a replacement though so you then restart the 14 days or as per P4U T's and C's 28 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paul_one:
as a european country, we should have a full 2 or 3 year warranty on electrical goods (I can't remember which one). that is just warranty though.

I thought we still had a full 30 day return policy on store purchases but i wouldn't know about that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Actually, in the UK, if an item is sold in a defective state, you are entitled to a full refund from the point of sale as outlined in the Sale of Goods act 1979

here is the Which? Magazine article that states your rights in a more friendly manner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Yeah i agree with what you are saying, i'm not disputing the fact that it is easier to go back to the retailer but I am just also pointing out if you do miss that window of opportunity you can also go direct to the manufacturer after the 14 days for a replacement or a repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
There is no way to miss the opportunity - your rights under the Sale of Goods Act are mandatory. If the handset is defective by design, you are entitled to a full refund from the place you bought it from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Brilliant post. Puts my mind at rest. Clearly, they will be responsible to replace the phone when the fault rears its ugly head. In my case, this will be April when I come back to 2G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Im half tempted to use the opportunity to send this back to O2, and get a cheaper unlocked handset from Three...

Still hoping for a software issue, and Google reacting quickly to patch it.

I can hope...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
by all means, get yourself an unlocked handset if you like. But that handset will have the exact same problem. It really does not look like a software related issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duddyroar:
I've been contacted by someone at Samsung UK tech support, he's after information regarding the fault. Hopefully this means they're sitting up and taking notice.

Needless to say, I'll keep everyone posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
please, if you can, link them to a log of the fault. here is mine (starts line 28)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Sitting up and taking notice? Now? After 48 hours of pandemonium on the world's biggest smartphone forum? What a joke!

Pleeeeeeeeeeease let it be a software issue. Or at least a hardware issue that can be rectified by software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:

and also following the pattern it looks like "yakju" is the device ID so I think the url is:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Hmm now, how to apply this on an unrooted, completely stock handset.... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Ooo!

But I have no idea how to use that for updating. Anyone knows how?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Many files in there...

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I assume to apply the update you'd need to install ClockworkMod and do it from there...?

Dunno... I've rooted, but I've not installed CWM yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
What is this yakju you are talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
So looking in the zip, it's dozens of .p files. Opening them up, they look binary with a "BSDIFF405" header... so I'm guessing they are all binary diff patches to apply to the existing system files.

I'm not clever enough to establish from this what the fix is - but it seems a *lot* of files have been updated, but by a tiny amount?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
It could be the "code name" of the device.

The Nexus One was "passion" and the Nexus S was "crespo" IIRC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Isn't in the stock recovery an option for applying updates?

Another possibility could be to put the file on to the phone and then reboot it. Maybe the phone finds it on its own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Thanks! "google-maguro" huh? Oh well, it has been found!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
Yakju = Korean medicinal wine ;) Seems appropriate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Stock recovery only allows update from /cache

I don't think the phone finds it by itself, I had the file on there and it didn't update anything :(

Galaxy Nexus is Maguro.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
Did you rename it to update.zip? Always used to be the case on the Nexus One.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forumache:
If you unlocked the bootloader, you can use fastboot to boot a custom recovery image without flashing it first.

From the custom recovery (ClockworkMod?) you can flash the update from sdcard.

No need for root for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Nope this doesn't work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I am totally amazed that an update less than 1MB in size for a device that was just released and is only available in UK has such a slow rollout. Usually they have one-day rollouts for devices world-wide with hundreds of thousands users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Paul just tweeted that the fix is the same as his:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
yeah... working on figuring this out now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
what crap are you talking.

1) Samsungs name on it

2) Not only have samsung put their name to it but they've also included it in their galaxy line.

When i hear "samsung galaxy" i think samsung. doesnt matter if it ends nexus, that just tells me it's a "pure android" device.

and then you call all the people who want to get a phone that...well, looks good geeks? suuure. ignoring the fact that there's people like me who are suckers for phones with 0 buttons on the front (like my N900), nope just lump them all together as geeks.

Then there's all the publicity surrounding the GN. and, at least online, a big push for the handset. are you really so stupid to think that nobody will remember/want a GN? Are you really so stupid to think samsung don't actually care about the device or the users? if that's the case you really are as stupid as you sound.

and if you think not many sites have mentioned the volume issue, you aint been reading many have you because googling around there's a lot of mention on it, and several articles from the major tech sites. and it's been mentioned on the likes of BBC news website...which is not a small publication.

and dont diss meego/maemo, a lot of people were miffed when nokia left the users in the lurch.

why do people like this have access to the interweb? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Can we flash it with ClockworkMod Recovery then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
So can i flash this from my cwm recovery?

woohoo!! we've got the update!! oh wait, how do we use it on our phones? #facepalm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I know, right? Its annoying when we get ahead of ourselves.

And yes, you should be able to flash this in Recovery (I'm waiting for my battery to charge before I go rebooting).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burnduck:
without rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
was thinking about it then noticed there's a .sh in the recovery folder so might take a look at that first. Extracting now on my phone via root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
nobody's actually commented on how well this update has worked.

get a grip people! :p

Can you force it to appear in 2G mode? Can you force the bug with an external device? Does it affect the usage of the volume buttons? If you're trying to force the bug with an external device, does it affect the usage of the buttons?

these very important questions need answering :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Yes, anyone who has received the update, if you could carry out tests to see if it actually does patch the fault :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I never had to root or unlock the bootloader on my N1 to flash "update.zip" files from stock recovery. I don't see why Google would care enough to change that this time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
OK which part of this shall I change to stop the recovery being rewritten? Anyone?

#!/system/bin/sh

else

log -t recovery "Recovery image already installed"

fi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
with the default recovery, on an un-rooted and locked-bootloader device (as if you bought it from the shop), you cannot apply an update.zip file. At least not in the normal way.

The recovery gives you the option to apply from /cache, but of course you need root access to be able to write to that directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewPL:
Strange, because I only heard that Google tried to promote it, not Samsung (" - Hey, Samsung! Do you know about Galaxy Nexus release date? - No, but we have amazing Galaxy S 2 and new, big Galaxy Note!").

I don't see anything wrong in being geek.

(I don't really understand what you mean, but I think that if somebody is here he is a geek).

Yes, I think that. Because in 2 months there will be new and shiny SGS3. Who will remember about GN? You will go to the shop and ask:

- I want cool smartphone with ICS.

- Yes, here we have new SGS3.

- Do you have maybe GN?

- GN? Never heard about it.

Also already someone else wrote the same here before.

And second: yes, because if Samsung care they could tell something, they could testing it before release, they could delay release and create new revision without bug or try shield it. Nothing of that happens.

One information per site? About iPhone I heard every single day. But let's say that you are right... show me normal people who before Christmas will buy broken phone? They won't. And again: in 2 months there will be SGS3.

Me too (tell me, who is now talking about this amazing phone? Nobody). I want to buy this phone, even more - I am Qt programmer - but Nokia did what did and I don't see reason to buy it. The same here - Samsung did what did and I don't see reason to buy broken phone.

I don't know, maybe because some of them are MSc in Software Engineering?

Hi, I could use a little help. I'm rooted and have CWM flashed on my phone. I got the notification for the update, it went to reboot my phone and instantly I had an Android guy with a red ! over it. I pulled the battery, now I'm back to normal but it doesn't look like the update applied. My build is ITL41D.

Do I have to apply this another way since I'm rooted? :(

God, the OTA update is out and they're not pushing it? FFS!
