[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I've always protected my phones with the best case available because i always resell them for upgrading and i like getting top dollar for them, This isn't a iphone thought and i won't get much of a resale for it but i like to keep it mint anyway,

I'll be after the AGF Ballistic case, first choice here or the otterbox defender and a nice screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
nexus phones don't hold their value as well as other unlocked phones usually because they're no name in the unlocked world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Over the last weeks I sold my N1 for over $200 US and my NS for over $300. Is that not good? Both were used naked and rooted running CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Thats pretty damn good to me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Thats good for n1. Im looking to sell mine, hoping i can get that much with accessories. The nexus s is fair price. Before iphone came on the scene, that'd be a terrible price. But nothing to complain about. A new nexus s can be had for $400.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
THAT is a great idea!! The GNex is so slippy in the hands. I'm gonna dig out the box from the invisible shield I bought for by SGS2 and do the same. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No SP for me, I hate them. I've got a cheap TPU on it until I find something better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtrawise:
Use all my phones naked (the phone not me). They mostly live in my trouser pocket and never get scratched. I find screen protectors ruin the touch experience and cases spoil the sleek lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
a crappy screen protector and good screen protector make a world of difference. not to mention the digitizer. also, i'd rather use my phone naked, but they're too much an investment. and a tpu case made the design of the atrix more bearable. the atrix doesn't have any sleek lines or curves. it is just plain phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audi09:
750$ for a phone, it will be in a case 100% of the time. If it fell and broke i would jump off a bridge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PooJou:
Agree on the nakedness thing - My Nexus S never had a screen protector, had a TPU case... then nothing... and my lord it was so much nicer.

Galaxy Nexus will be the same!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
I think this video will make everyone here worry free

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Ehh just because it withstands a key doesn't mean some sharp tiny pebble in your pocket can't scratch it ;) gorilla glass or fortified glass, equal chance of scratching haha

I personally wouldn't put a screen protector on....but i would put minimal case on. For example, i just bought an SGP Hybrid EX in white for my white i9100 that should be arriving tomorrow. I bought it since it basically protects the phone without being bulky at all and it looks super sexy and still shows off all the designs of the white i9100.

Gorilla glass still cracks if you drop it as well as any other screen =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
Thanks for that - Just made me happy

My GN is being shipped tomorrow (apparently)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leedavis:
You carry a mobile phone next to the family jewels? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
A lot of people do, including me. I don't see how that can very surprising.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
He meant in your scrotum - It was a lame joke
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DebauchedSloth:
One of the great things about this phone is the curved display. If it's anything like the Nexus S, even if you drop it face down, the glass won't strike. My NS has a bunch of dings on the plastic next to the screen, but the screen is pristine. My G2X, with Gorilla Glass, got nailed the first time I dropped it. Sand can scratch even gorilla glass, right quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Doom:
Had mine 2.5 weeks now and have tiny scratches at the bottom of the screen. Really tiny but visible if you angle it right. Always keep it in a front pocket with nothing that could scratch in there. So dunno how that key test worked...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
1 week and 1 day and mine is now scratched (very faintly but enough to be annoying) as well. Mine was from straw that got down in my pocket with the phone on saturday (grasses draw sand grains from the soil to give their cell walls rigidity) when doing some farm chores. I hate screen protectors but I think I will definitely need one YMMV.

As to the key test, those aren't particularly enlightening, as the key's edges are not really jagged (even if the look sharp macroscopically, microscopically they are more likely than not rounded from day to day use). The true test would be some sand grains- and that would certainly scratch the glass (as they are the same substance; so the same hardness) so it is never used in tests.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Since I like to go out to night clubs a case is a must. Intoxicated people constantly pushing and bumping past me has sent my phones flying on several occasions (with no damage) thanks to my tpu case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fpad77:
I prefer a sleeve for it that you just put in your pocket, that way rather than putting the phone loosely in your pocket with any potential scratching objects it just slips into its sleeve..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Same here, except I have 3. 2 on the left side of the screen and 1 long one along the top. I only ever carry my phone in my front pocket with nothing else in there. The glass simply isn't all that scratch proof.

That video is beyond misleading. This phone scratches relatively easily.

Ordered a case and some screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightsfield:
Had mine a couple a weeks and its picked up a few very fine scratches. Can only see them when turned off and if i angle the screen. Time for a screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
owned mine a few days and got light scratchs when i tryed cleaning it with a microfibre cloth :/ still at least screen protectors have arrived and hide
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like I will need a screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Cases/screen protectors are like car insurance, they're totally useless until sh!t happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clearym:
I like my phones naked. Its scary because i am a bit clumsy, but my N1 and NS survived and my GN already survived a fall onto the sidewalk with only a minor scuff on the corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I agree. My trusty HTC HD2 is covered in dents and scratches but I love it. I wouldn't bother with screen protection unless you are thinking of selling in future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
I don't like most cases. I feel like they ruin the aesthetic of the device. I had the Android soft pouch for my Nexus One and managed to find one on eBay that should fit the Galaxy Nexus. That's all I need - something to prevent it from getting dirty or scuffed while in my front pocket.

But so far I've been using it without any case or screen cover and it's great. Perfect condition still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nokstar:
ive been using a screen protector that came with a case bundle from the verizon store. One thing i notice is that it degrades the screen quality a bit. Its not like that "golf ball" type pattern...its different...kind of makes the screen look more pixelated...i dont like it.

Is there a great screen protector out there for the nexus that doesnt degrade the screen quality? Something that you dont even notice until u look close at the edges of your screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TooLegit7:
Verizon game me a free pack of screen protectors and free silicone case so I'm using it just as an insurance policy on this expensive phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Back when I had my Vibrant, I was using Realook, and I can say it was the best SP I've ever seen, crystal clear, thin never looked like there was one on. Until Realook makes one for the GN, I'm currently using this...

http://www.amazon.com/Rearth-Ultima...B2CK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1324257315&sr=8-3

Pretty thin, super clear, only thing is the bottom right corner didnt adhere properly,about 2mm from the edge-in, other than that you can't really tell theres one on, gonna give a few days but doesn't look like it's gonna be a huge issue.

I've heard good things about the XO and SGP Flex too, never tried them. If anyone here has maybe your input..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunWitScizzors:
Hello everyone,

I have been reading these threads for a while, getting prepared to root my Thunderbolt. I rooted about a week ago with Revolutionary and had no problems whatsoever. A couple days ago I flashed my first ROM (Gingeritis) using the instructions on this forum, and everything worked great, except that I accidentally restored some system data with Titanium Backup, which I read can cause FCs, etc.

Therefore, I restored the stock ROM by booting into recovery and following those steps. Again, everything went well.

This morning, I wanted to try out a different ROM, so I followed the same steps with das BAMF 1.10, and I flashed the ROM successfully with no problems. However, after restoring my contacts (one of the green pieces of system data that I thought were ok to restore) with Titanium Backup, the popup "Sorry!" repeatedly came up saying that the application.com.android was not responding and needed to be force closed. It came up again so fast after clicking "close" that I couldn't even reset. Finally, I pushed the power button at the exact right time to be able to see the menu of options, and I clicked restart (not in recovery).

Now, the phone is running through the das BAMF and HTC startup screens repeatedly. The battery is pretty low. What do I do???

Thank you so much! I really really want to resolve this and avoid bricking my phone like an idiot.

-Matt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbdysreal:
Turn it off. Charge to atleast half or so battery. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, data, dalvik cache, and format system. Load up whatever ROM you want and only restore user apps and data.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Just what he said but let google restore the contacts, this us unless you never allowed google to let th them sync.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
If I want to return my phone for warranty i should return my phone to stock rom and S-ON. To go S-ON I must use stock rom from. I can install one easily from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 . But I was wondering is it worth to backup my Stock rom before installing a new one and if I need to return to just use the back and then S-ON. Can this be done and is it better?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's handy but if an RUU for your current version is available then it's not mandatory
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
I think there is RUU for my version :)

Hi everyone,

I know that already exist some topics talking about the unlock of Xperia Arc, but mine is an Xperia Arc S and I have some issues about the unlocking by IMEI.

My cell is blocked by carrier to TMN, Portugal, and I didn't found any website who could unlock it. I even paid a website who instantaneously refund my money because they said they could do it, but when they checked, they couldn't.

I use Vodafone, and I need to unlock it for that carrier.. Does anyone knows a website or other way to unlock it? I've searched a lot in google, I visit every website I could find, but nothing... :(

Does anyone knows if the unlock codes for Xperia Arc are the same (the same way calculated) for Xperia Arc S? Because if they were, I could ordered with the name of Xperia Arc instead of Xperia Arc S...

Thanks in advanced, and I hope this thread don't break any rule.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sffsi_pete:
Hey. Unfortunately TMN changes the default unlock codes of their android handsets, I have had that problem with two other phones, and had no choice but to pay the fee for them to do it, since the online unlock methods don't work.

Would also be interested in knowing if there is any alternative.
