Yeah, I gave up and got the 16GB GSM version. I haven't regretted it one bit -- this is one awesome device -- though I do have to keep an eye on storage more than I'd like to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atarumorooka:
I'll move on...

Sure it is a great phone but I feel Galaxy Nexus is not the joy I was waiting for, too many compromises to accept...the camera, the CPU, the 16Gb, the microSD absence. Think about it, if it was not for ICS on it, would have you bought it?

I'll keep my N1 having CM9 on it, sooner or later. Then, if Samsung will deliver the 32Gb version it will be ok, if not I'll get the quad-core HTC Edge or something similar...not a pure Google Experience but a solid HTC phone anyway.

I only hope next Nexus will be made by someone other than Samsung so to have again microSD support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
if you have so many problem with the gnex, you can wait for the galaxy s 2 HD, it addresses everything of the gnex, but will have to wait for the ics update, also the micro sd thing, it was google and not samsung who wants it off the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atarumorooka:
Yes, you may be right on Google requesting to avoid the microSD slot.

Actually I don't have problems with the Galaxy Nexus, it would be a great upgrade from my N1, no doubt about it, but I feel Samsung is trying to make money too easily, capitalizing on ICS while cutting costs here and there (5Mp camera, PenTile technology for the screen, plastic body, missing microSD slot, 16Gb of memory ecc. ecc.)

Samsung is not new to such a behaviour, the 32GB variant of the SGSII had been cancelled due to the high costs of production over a low profit margin. But at least it has a microSD slot!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
the only reason the GNexus has a pentile display is because their current tech can't make RGB standard stripe displays in either a) high enough yields or b)they aren't able to make it yet....

there are many reasons why the camera is only 5MP; could have been decided by google to give the phone fast shutter speeds but I would prefer my DSLR over my phone for any photos anyway; besides this has been beaten to death so many times already, more MP doesn't mean better quality etc etc blahblah

plastic body is a standard for sammy devices; but I haven't had a problem with their phones. My SGS1 was made of the same plastic stuff but yet very solid to me IMO.

Besides; most companies do seek to cut costs for various reasons...remember they are a business with shareholders to answer to; not a public company that gives out stuff at a loss
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athani:
Everything else being the same, more MP does mean better quality etc etc blahblah :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TZAR@:
You took the words right outta my mouth. I feel the same way. I need 32gb. I have a Nexus One w/32gb micro SD and it's almost full. I hope they release the 32gb version or I'll just wait for something juicy from HTC to root. This whole deal has been 1 big EPIC FAIL if you ask me. Take some lessons from Crapple, they know how to release a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deafblind:
actually there is a 32GB version of the Galaxy SII in Taiwan, just doublechecked today at the samsung store, it goes for 20500NTD though (16GB 18900NTD). Gnex is 21900NTD

WTB: 32gb Gnex only. else i ll probably go for the Galaxy SII
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teddygo:
At least with the GS2 you can add a memory card. The Nexus you don't even get that.

Admittedly with a memory card in the GS2 you get 16 + 32 max, but without the expansion slot you get 16 max with the GNex :( absolute deal breaker.

Will be picking up a GS2 in the new year. Once it gets ICS it'll be the better choice anyway IMO, except for the lower resolution screen.

HOT NEWS

Hi I have just had talks with Samsung that potentially we could get stock on the 32GB Galaxy Nexus for the 1st week in Feb. This is very provisional at the moment but it looks like there is a definite chance of this product coming to the UK soon. We have committed early to this product so I am confident we will see the first stocks of this product.

So, are you going to wait for it? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
Thanks for passing that "hot news" on! It may be totally provisional, but it's still exciting! I'd definitely be buying one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djkron:
I dont mean to burst your bubble but expansys are known for blowing smoke up their customers ass. I hope your right but I am not holding my breath.

I AGREE SAMSUNG ****ED THEMSELVES WITH ONLY A 16GB VERSION
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deafblind:
with the Galaxy SII you get 32+32gb,

16gb on Gnex is a dealbreaker for me, since i'm abroad quite often i can't afford to have things on the cloud.

Fudzilla: Galaxy Nexus 32GB listed in EU

http://www.fudzilla.com/mobiles/item/25336-galaxy-nexus-32gb-listed-in-eu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
Wow, thanks! It's nice to still have some reason for hope!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
I have one answer to all the questions above: Its f****ed up.

Google screwed this up and Samsung didn't help much either.

The Nexus One and Nexus S were pretty much THE best phones when they were released. But the Galaxy Nexus is more of a disappointment.

Its handicapped by an ancient GPU and no SD card. The screen and ICS make up for it to some extent but still there's just no excuse for putting a SGX540 in there.

Then, the overall availability is just a big joke. Trying to find a 32 GB version is tougher than finding a Unicorn. I think Samsung has more to do with this mess than Google and there might be some intentional mud here. 3 months on and it's yet to be found in more than one & half countries and that too in about 2 stores.

16 GB without ext SD in 2012, makes no sense at all. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Also, its not just about the capacity. Now, I do not have the peace of mind I used to have while flashing ROMs or doing any system mods when I could just remove the ext SD and all my files would be safe. Now, its all in there and its always a game of poker while doing a flash or mod, will I lose all files, will it wipe the ext partition, will it blow? God darn idiots! This is supposed to be a dev-friendly phone!

This Nexus is doomed to be a fail, unfortunately.. as sad as that makes me. Once ICS is delivered to the current top line devices and new devices are put out in Q1 2012, no one is going to buy the Galaxy Nexus except maybe a handful of die hard purists and some developers. I don't think a majority of developers are happy with it anyway.

And that camera, while decent, is FAAAAAAR from top-of-the-line. Who, just who, decided on the specs of this device? They sure weren't thinking straight or just smoking funny stuff.

I still bought it, but I will replace it with either a 32 GB version or a newer device from Samsung or HTC. I'm even considering the Xiaomi M2 if it turns out to be real.. :rolleyes:

And who the hell named it Galaxy Nexus?? Samsung!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
All true, all true. Though I still love my Galaxy Nexus!!! (at least until those 16GB get filled up....)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
While the iToy went ahead to 64GB with a fantastic camera and a top-notch GPU, I feel like a sad loser on the Galaxy Nexus! It was just the opposite when the Nexus S & Galaxy S came out, I was so freaking happy!

The Galaxy Nexus is perfectly usable, very fast, smooth and is top-spec in most areas, BUT, that GPU just blows in comparison. Yes, its clocked higher now and has a dual channel for much better performance than the Nexus S or the Galaxy S, but its still no trailblazer!

And the camera can't hold a candle to the one on the 4S and coupled with a whopping 16 GB of memory, its great for shooting as many as 3 fullHD videos!:mad: Also, a "lot" of memory that gets filled up just with half of what I already had on my Galaxy S! Why the nuts would they do something like this is beyond me! Maybe they're doing something with the 32 GB version to make it better, maybe they're adding a SD slot, maybe they're putting in a new GPU, maybe they're sleeping... who the f*** knows!

My best bet: Samsung did this on purpose to safeguard the GS2 sales and ensure that the GS3 will sell even better. There is just no other way they could have screwed this up sooo BAD! The unbelievable shortcomings of the device, the availability, the lack of info, so on and so forth.. I had a feeling something was terribly wrong when the initial announcement was pushed 2 weeks.

I'm sorry for all the whingeing, but, I expected this device to be so awesome and they failed to deliver on many things. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atarumorooka:
Yes, white Galaxy Nexus and GN 32Gb coming...

From: VicR, Senior Category Manager Expansys Europe (UK)- 12:50 05 Jan 12

HOT OFF THE PRESS

We have just had confirmation that we will be getting the Galaxy Nexus in white in two weeks time and the Galaxy Nexus 32GB in 4 weeks(early Feb).

Early indications are that we will retail for the 32GB for £599

Watch this space.........

Wow, this is a great news. Tks carrot34!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
Wow! That made my day.. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wintermute000:
no SD slot = many lost sales esp the geek market which is always going to be the first onto this kind of thing.

I'm not actually fussed about the CPU, my tegra2 atrix is plenty fast and with gpu acceleration I can't imagine wanting it to be much faster, I mean cmon its not like I play crysis or crunch sql dbs on this thing lol

IT is all in all a very nice phone thou but 16gb fail, like other XDA addicts I'm rockin 16+32 and not going back to only 16
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
"Geek market?" it's a developer phone. What else can be more "geekier" than that to provide developers with the latest Android OS.

A phone isn't meant to be carrying all your movies. Sure, if you have SD slot + internal sdcard(16GB)... you can store everything. But honestly, are you going to use every single little piece of movie or song that is going to be on your phone? No.

The phone also supports USB OTG. You can use a USB flash drive if necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wintermute000:
hey buddy there are those of us who are nerds in multiple areas you know, like er, music maybe lol .

For the record, 16+32 lets me store maybe 1/4 of my music. No I don't use my phone for movies. I'm sure there are some people out there who do (and who want 720p rips too).

way to project your usage patterns onto everyone else.

what do they gain from not having SD card slot? that ease of use argument / confusing mount points etc.? Wait you just said its a dev phone. ??!?!? If you don't want your app to target external storage then just don't use that feature...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TareX:
filled up my 16 GB Galaxy Nexus after only 5 days. epic fail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TareX:
What use is it having a 720p screen if you can't watch movies on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
Not a very sensible argument.

It's not about movies. I carry most of my music in lossless format.

16GB just isn't enough for anything. That cloud argument doesn't good up either, data is limited and streaming quality still sucks.

Moreover, a dev phone makes all the more for removable storage as we do a lot of flashing and such and its always convenient to have the other files safe on a SD.

The filesystem argument is understood, but there's no excuse for not including an extSD for just media & general files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Po0yAn:
It's a pointless argument to convince someone if the 16GB is enough for a phone or should he go for models with higher storage capacity. it can be easily decided comparing ur last experience.I have a 16GB nexus s and I think doubling up my internal storage will make my life much easier specially considering the 720 video capturing feature of this phone.

any of you guys seen this:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
looks like it's about to drop, finally.

so sad that samsung/google ****ed this one up and didn't at least tell us that a 32gb gsm version will indeed be released :(

now i gotta find a buyer for my 16gb one...\

http://www.mobiflip.de/samsung-gala...kommt-nach-deutschland-bereits-vorbestellbar/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
More delays.. According to expansys it'll arrive at the end of Feb AT THE EARLIEST. I'm in shock at how badly this has worked out, I should never have waited for this and just snatched up the 16gig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
check out "[root] StickMount (G.Nexus)" in the Market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] experimentator:
Hi All,

I placed a preorder for a 32Gb version at Computeruniverse.net. Today I got a message from them:

So it looks like 32Gb version is delayed, or maybe even cancelled...

Clove had it at 3rd of May, now it's back at 27th February:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
We've just been notified this morning that Samsung have dropped the Galaxy Nexus 32GB from production. At this time it looks like they will not be releasing it. Not good news at all.

Corey

EXPANSYS-USA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
Whoa, that _sucks_. But thanks for the update, Corey.

So is that in then? No 32GB GSM Galaxy Nexus?

Does anyone think that replacing the Galaxy Nexus GSM's 16GB chip with with a 32GB one is at all a possibility? These guys used to do memory upgrades back in the old Windows Mobile PDA days. But looking at the Galaxy Nexus iFixit teardown, I can't even see where the 16GB memory chip is...

Alan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
I hear its gonna have quad core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
We are just waiting on an official word, but that's what we have been told by multiple suppliers. Emails came in a few minutes apart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Argh!!!!!! Makes me want to punch someone in the face :mad:

Appreciate the quick update though Corey, this is obviously not directed at you, but I'm so frustrated at having had to wait this long for nothing. Damn you Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tids2k:
good to see expansys team here on xda-developers. kudos to u guys !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
I highly suspect they're bringing a refreshed Galaxy Nexus with a better camera and a newer GPU/CPU. There is no other reason why they'd delay the 32GB version by such a long period and then drop it altogether. New Galaxy Nexus coming..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
i want/need that refreshed version, even though i absolutely despise how they released the galaxy nexus.

i need a nexus device, hopefully they'll release it w/ 64gb.

but we can already be thankful, that they built a nexus phone, i'm pretty sure they've got all their resources on the galaxy s3. how dare we expect a 32gb gsm version and the original vehicle mount.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
2nd what you said. I will trade in my 16 gig GNX in a heart beat for a refreshed one.. can only wait.

And don't underestimate Samsung's production capability. They've got huge lines and a massive in-house components advantage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
With lossless audio and HD video.. surprising to you?

Sent from XDA Premium
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
I'd love it if this were true. My suspicion is that they've just moved their attention to upcoming (and non Google-branded) devices (Galaxy S III) and would like us to do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
We are still looking for more info thru different channels to see if there is any possibility of a release. Info isn't very forthcoming. We obviously want them to come out too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Not at all, but I wouldn't be bothering with lossless audio on a mobile phone as unless you've got £500 headphones they'll sound ****. I suppose I just don't use the phone as others do.

My Nexus is a communication tool first, everything else second
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Likewise. I have an iPod Touch for my music needs. As far as HD video is concerned, I just don't see the enjoyment in watching movies on a comparatively tiny screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Nooooooooo!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
That's up to you how you use yours but that question seemed a bit too lame to me. Also, if you know how to setup your gear, lossless sounds great on 100 quid cans. As a sound professional, I've got trained ears but that's not necessary. You can immediately tell the difference if you have any experience of quality listening.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacebar2011:
So you carry a HDTV while travelling? :p

Also, why would I need a separate audio player when my phone can do just that plenty well?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
Thanks, Corey -- I'd still love a glimmer of hope if there's one to be had, though all of the shifting rumors about the 32GB model have been dizzying. It's crazy that four months after October's Galaxy Nexus announcement, we're _still_ trying to suss out exactly what models will be available. I don't expect to ever buy an iPhone, but I greatly admire how well Apple's managed its iPhone product announcements and roll-outs: they take the stage and tell you exactly what's going to be released when and for how much. And it happens.

I think we've been Samsunged.

Alan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
I gave up and canceled my pre-order for the 32gb and just placed an order this morning for the 16gb. If only I could fire up my wayback machine, I'd just have ordered this 4 months ago... We've definitely been Samsunged :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I had placed a pre-order back in November for the 32gb before a price was even set; that's how much I wanted it. Then a couple days later I said eff it and just ordered the 16gb. I still have 8gb free, even with plenty of mp3's and other files for what I use it for. But I guess I saw this one coming. I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with Samsung, and it started with the Vibrant I barely had 6 months before they stopped supporting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
A shame, guess I'll hold out for the next HTC flagship then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Terrible news, but I guess I can't complain (I was in a rush and bought my 16 GB).

Hm, my Galaxy Nexus only has 13.3gb when I look at it in the file managers. Was I screwed over, or do you mean you're only using 1 gigish?

I'm fed up with this

Please help me!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
when it restarts? damn this is bad! it does this too me aswell but only if its stuck somehow or if i connect to the pc and it reads from the sd card or something like that!

i was fed up too so i decided to arrange the icons by those i use the more...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterjet:
Had the same problem.

Looks like the problem occurs with long loading of the sd card

i bought a new 16gb 4 class cars and it didnt cure it.

Try flashing [ROM] Wolfs TW Gingerbread it worked out for me. Also try to change sort order.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huntish:
Its really irritating. Slows the phone down a lot. Also if I keep some shortcuts on the screen they all take their time to load up!

That's why I dont use the stock launcher.

The dimming should be the same as the previous mod of mine you flashed (just without the %batt) so probably hard to notice now.
