@tinyaznboi

I am using glitch but

Maybe you should try bali kernel for cm7/ miui. Also i default 1000/ 100 on conservative gov. Also i use juice defender for those times i leave my browser on and enable the back button to kill any app on exit. Yesterday i unplugged at 4am and plugged in at 10:40 pm with 17% .

I am using deadline. But i went through a few different settings before i found the sweet spot for my phone. Good luck
[Vibrant Android Development] Xenoism:
Yes, modems do effect battery life. Generally speaking, if a modems has to "work" harder to secure and hold onto a signal, the battery drains quicker as a result. This is why if you're ever in a place with spotty signal, your battery will drain more quickly, because it is actively working to maintain a viable connection. Try different modems, find the best fit for you.

Hi guys

I just returned my Galaxy Nexus to Phones4u and got a full refund (was purchased sim free). Very sorry but I didn't get the chance to take pics to show you people.

Basically the rear camera was not aligned correctly and was not centered. I called customer services who gave me a ref number to go and exchange it - however once in store they opened up 8 sealed Galaxy Nexus boxes and all the devices had similar issues. They promptly offered me a full refund and said I should wait for the 2nd batch of the smartphone to ship.

Any ideas when or how long it usually takes for the 2nd batches to get released??? I love this phone.. I miss it so much already :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Monday or Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
did you do a search on that here before posting I thought someone mentioned something like that,

must of been another phone I was thinking of where the lens wasn't on spot and off centered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
Seriously? Man thats so awesome! Gonna try my luck again! I was surprised that the issue affected all the other phones they showed me! Hope the 2nd batch will have rectified the issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
I did look through the Galaxy Nexus posts - I do know it's an issue sometimes which sometimes happens.. I suppose its referred to as a manufacturing anomaly. I had the issue with my Desire HD when I got that at launch.. It just stings a lot more when it happens to a device you've purchased sim-free :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
What do you mean by "it's not centered"?

Is the lens just not looking straight ahead? So if you tilt the phone a bit, it'll give you the right image?

Or is it more severe, like part of the image is eclipsed by the lens housing, so you always get a black border?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] assisterah:
This happened on my GS2 purchase. I returned that unit as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
+ 1

How do you mean it was not centered?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
sorry for the late reply its like almost 5:30am here lol.. (my sleeping pattern is soooo pwned)

ok not centered - the lens and the black border around the lens should be centered. although the outer black circle is not eclipsing the lens itself - it can affect the amount of light the sensor picks up. the pics and video i was taking were great however, if its a new device that you've paid £530 for - you shouldn't accept to be happy with what shouldn't be there in the 1st place.

guys - this IS a manufacturing anomaly. check your phones, if any issues try to get a replacement ASAP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
Lol, it's 5:40am here now mate so don't worry. :p

I think I know what you mean though mate, the outer black circle wasn't centered on the plastic which shields the lens right?

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
The outer black circle was perfect! It was the lens itself which wasn't centered! It was drooping down to the right at say a 45 degree angle! Really sorry I didn't take any pics of this, would've been so much easier to just show you! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
Yes that would have been very interesting to see. :eek:

Anyone else that has this kind of manufacturer defect should definitely post some pics.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
I've actually had the same issue when the Desire HD came out! It took me 2 or 3 exchanges to get the perfect handset!

I understand it may not bother some people.. However if you have paid for something you want it to be as it should.. £530 for a sim free device - its not peanuts!

If you or any of your friends / family have purchased this (or any other) device I would strongly urge you to let them know - I only noticed it after a few days.. Lol! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Is this image showing what you are talking about? Basically the lens circle and the silver circle around the lens are not concentric? Or is it an actual rotation of the lens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnboywilson:
Ah, just looked at mine. It too is off centre! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L60N:
Are you sure? I thought mine was too, it looked as though the lens was off center but it turns out the room lighting was casting a shadow which made it appear that way, I turned myself round 90 degrees and the lens looks perfectly centred. *phew*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
That is one sexy phone. Sorry if this was off topic. I just felt like I had to say that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juniorbattle:
I think I've got it with mine but it doesn't affect the photos I take. They look pretty decent. The question is... will they look even better with the lens centered properly?

I'll try to take a picture of it but don't have anything with me at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I think a lot of people are going to look at their phones in bad lighting conditions and go "OMG MINE ISN'T CENTRED TOO!" when in actual fact the phone is just fine.

Under 'average' lighting conditions, mine too looks like it is off-centre. However, when shining a torch directly at the lens assembly it becomes clear that my handset is just fine and isn't suffering from this particular defect.

Not to say that the OP hasn't had this issue. I'm just saying, along with L60N - make sure you thoroughly check before you assume that you have the problem. It could just be the lighting conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Just took a macro shot of my camera to maybe dshed some light on this topic.

To the naked eye it does look like part of the lens is hidden but under closer inspection (from the camera picture) its perfectly within limits.

Now maybe its not reight in the center but I dont think its that much of an issue to warrant a replacement.

If this wasnt what the OP was reffering to then I apologise lol :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
My phone is identical to this. The lens is within its limits and not covered at all, but it is to the right and slightly down, at 45 degrees as the OP says.

I noticed this when I got the phone, but its well within limits and no way this is affecting image quality. I would not have considered this a reason for a replacement.

Obviously the entire first batch of 1000s has the lens placed slightly right and down? Or is it just 3 of us?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RossM7:
It seems to me this issue can be a bit of a optical illusion. I just looked at mine and it looks off center but tilt it in different orientations and it looks fine :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Looked at it top down on a flat table, its certainly slightly off centre, but I would not consider it a replacement reason unless the lens itself was covered.

The hole that the lens sits in is not touching the black border. I think this is fine. Will take a picture later.

I'm still toying with the idea of returning the phone for a replacement as I have a return authorization from handtec. The reason I would return for replacement is that I have a 1cm thick bright horizontal band that runs across the screen. Visible in 50% or lower brightness on light coloured screens when scrolling. Like this one.

However, I have read of people with worse banding, and now a guy with 2 or 3 dead pixels too. Might not exchange it in case I get a worse unit. The banding seems to be an issue on lots of peoples phones. Now I'm thinking if people are replacing phones because the lens is not centered, maybe I should certainly be exchanging it over the low light bright dark banding. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L60N:
It doesnt matter whether you look at it top down on a flat table if the light source is not perfectly right above you either. An offest light source will cast a shadow due to the lens being set deeper than the clear protection lens above.

Like I said, you need to move it around to get the light in the right place to realise the lens is infact perfectly in the middle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
just goes to show samsung is not about quality but quantity control Apple would never ever let this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
Lol, Apple stuff is flimsy as f*ck. Who though it was a great idea to put 2 sheets of glass on a phone...

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Mine is like this as well, and at first I was worrying about whether it was worth going through the hassle of exchanging stateside here, but upon looking at it, the larger distance from lens center to casing edge will be "up" when taking a picture in landscape mode- potentially letting in more light (as both natural and even artificial light is usually from above). I don't know if it is truly advantageous (and/or purposeful), but my pictures are miles better than my Atrix's camera was, and so I am not worried about it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Mine is also a little bit off the center, but the black circle does not cover the actual lens,so I am not going to go through the hustle of replacing my phone because of that. And no, it's not shadow, I checked thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I think you should look again at that plastic around the lens and read the thread more carefully, This is poor workmanship, china at it's best, You'll never see an apple iphone look like that. QUALITY

as one poster said> the picture will be off due to light coming in at an angle on one side GET IT shades, extra light, :rolleyes:

$700.00+

The OP brought the phone back because he knows photography, THAT'S WHY I LISTENED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnboywilson:
Well I think it is, but now you have me doubting myself!!

Here`s a pic of mine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L60N:
Im at work on my PC so cant really take pics to show but in my case, unless the lighting is perfectly in line above the lens it looks off centre because a shadow is cast inside the housing giving the appearance the lense is off. I can make mine look like its off to the left and the right depending where the light source is. I can also make it look dead centre (obviously) and when its dead centre I can see the inside is perfectly central too so im 100% confident that it is infact central. Im guessing a lot of other people reading this thread are seeing the same thing My opinion is for the majority of people Its an optical illusion of the shadow blending with the black outter rim. Not saying that everyone's s perfect but; although mine looks a lot like the pictures shown here under different lighting, it is very much central.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justdoit2u:
Where do you think Apple gets its phones made?

What a plonker................
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
Taiwan I know, But quality is under control, would you pay $700+ for a camera if the lens was casting a shadow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
This thread has turned farcical. The OP "knows photography" so he returned his phone. Don't be ridiculous! At that range the black border would not affect light into the lens unless its almost touching it. It's not a fish-eye lens.

It would seem that the entire first run are slightly off centre. I would agree its poor QC, but it was obviously deemed "within bounds" to be released. In an ideal world the lens should sit perfectly in the middle. i.e concentric.

When you mass produce items like this...it happens. It's not swiss made. For 700dollars I would like my phone hand checked for banding, dead pixels, lens alignment, build etc... It's just not going to happen when your producing a run of 100000 units.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Apple DO make sure their badly designed hardware is built to exacting standards... so the iphone 4 antenna issues were equally bad on ALL phones, no variation! :D

Joking aside, has anyone actually shown that the dust shield (I think that's what the black bit under the lens protector is) is having any discernible affect at all? Or is it all just supposition, scaremongering, and trolling?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justdoit2u:
Absolutely none! The distance is too near the lens to make any difference whatsoever!

On a different but related note I am not sure that the front camera is pointing in the right direction on mine and appears to be pointing more to the right than central because I have to adjust the phone angle for the camera to pick up my face image to unlock and as I'm also having trouble with wifi disconnection when hot spotting I will be getting mine swopped at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
I think the front camera points directly ahead, which means it only seems offset when you're holding the phone normally, given that it's not in the middle of the screen.

Lay it flat, close one eye and then hold a pen or something midway between your eye and the lens... try and get it all lined up and then look at the screen... not exactly scientific but you get the idea. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blown 89:
I know......Apple would never release a low quality phone with problems like simply touching the phone drops calls....oh wait :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bjidi:
that was a feature thay forgot, first thay denied it, and then the red "end call" tags came and pooof it was the forgotten "o wait, there is one more thing" feature

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Apple products are made in Chine, designed in California. At least the iPad is, I'm sure they would have the iphone made in a totally different country.

Foxconn is the biggest assembler of iPad's, in China.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I went to a sprint store today,and AT&T,and Verizon also, but I checked out the samsung phones at sprint and the nexus s, and the iphone 4s for camera alignment and for you samsung owners not to worry ever samsung phone was misaligned :rolleyes: then checked on that iphone 4s and it was perfectly aligned dead center :p I'm only saying samsung should get some engineers that can actually design a phone with an aligned camera not that it won't work but at lease have it for aesthetics :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it's not just samsung, other phones do have this problem, and it's not really a big problem, just look at the teardown of the nexus, and you wont thing it's a manufacture defect.

it clearly shows that the flat wire (forgot whats it call, my head just got blanked out)is sometimes soldered slightly to one side pushing the camera modular to one side causing the camera not matching the hole.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Mine is slightly misaligned as well. It does not appear that it is going to affect anything though, its not even close to causing an issue.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] muhski:
Hey Guys!

Because I have the problem, that the stock SMS/MMS app turns long sms directly into mms, I changed the app to smsDroid.

Works fine, I used this app on my Defy before.

But now I face the problem, that the lockscreen will show "New message" as long as I open the message in the stock app... If I open it in smsDroid, only the notification in the notification bar will get away...

How do I solve this problem? It's annoying to open two apps for a sms so that the notification will go away :(

Hope you guys have an Idea!

Regards,

Muhski
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zaryab:
Open stock app

goto settings and turn off the notification..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] muhski:
Hey thanks for the reply!

I already did this, but it only works for the notification in the notification bar...

Whe I get a short message and read it with smsDroid, my lockscreen still shows:

1 unread message

Also the stock app will show 1 unread message in the appliaction menue (little orange "1")...

I'm confused :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
I've got this issue too, is really annoying I've still not found a way to fix this myself without rooting anyone have any ideas?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Did you try freezing or deleting the stock mms.apk?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hasaan6545:
Open all your message threads in the stock app to get rid of the "1/xx unread messages" notification at lock screen.

Once it's gone, open Titanium backup and freeze the system app named "Lock screen notifications".

I had the same problem and fixed it like this :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zaryab:
I had a problem as i receive message and when i unlock the screen the message becomes read already ........and as soons as screen turn on the notification icons disappears showing that ive read that message....

i simply dellll all the dalvick cache and restarted the phone :P .........it took time to get stable ...but now its super responsive and stable with no glitches...

if youve deleted some bloatwares or system apps it is necessary for you to delete the dalvick cache for stable performance ....

because deleting the system apps wont delete the cache for that particular app.....that will make phone unstable
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
I'm not rooted and don't plan to be, there must be an easier easy around this that doesn't need root!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Yes. Root the phone, freeze the app... And unroot once you're done.

What's with the allergy to root? At least it allows you to fix these kinds of issues yourself. If you want something which "works out of the box" and wait months until its works are fixed, grab a Samsung Wave, a Lumia or the like.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Don't advise people to get a wave. :eek: Bada is really .... well .... bada :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] muhski:
Thanks for tipp with freezing the notification!

But this again is annoying, too, because now I have no notification on the lockscreen ^^

But I think is shouldn't expect too much of Sony making their software working with other software...

Maybe I should get a new lockscreen. Will it fix the problem, too?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
I'm not against rooting, but I'd prefer not to,I was rooted before but can't be bothered doing it again if I'm honest! Just want to either integrate/replace the messaging app or stop the notifications!

1. GS2 ET4G

- Fastest, lighest, brightest, battery life, camera, etc, etc. Will really deserve #1 after LoS is fixed.

2. iPhone 4S

- Too tough to compete with the iphone in terms of reliability, speed, etc. Retina display is nice, although not as bright as SAMOLED+.

3. Photon 4G

- Reliable, World Phone, Pretty, decently fast, decent battery life, well built. Minus for Blur being the worst UI out there + PenTile.

4. EVO 3D

- Quick, nice screen, decent battery. Lousy camera(s), 3D is so so depending on the content. Similar to photon with worse camera, radios, and build quality.

5. Nexus S 4g

- Pure google trumps everything else even if the specs are any better on the others.
