You may just be right about that. The Verizon store down the block from where I work is currently open, so the LTE SIM problems aren't causing them to stop all sales until the problem is rectified. It certainly seems that they just want to take a bit more time to thin out their RAZR and Rezound inventory. I wonder if there will be yet another delay, due to the upcoming Droid 4 launch. If Verizon wants to be the first carrier to launch ICS in the U.S., they are certainly not acting like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benrees21:
Well, I'm in the UK and it's pissing me off now that the US has not got this phone. I'm hoping you get it soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Untrue. They'll still release it before Christmas because they know they'll sell out of most of their phone stocks around Christmas time. If they don't release the phone before Christmas they'll actually be losing sales because they won't be able to keep up with the demand.

On the other hand, if they launch just shy of the middle of the month (around 2 weeks prior to Christmas), they have the best of both worlds. The 10-14 would be the ideal point to start selling, sales-wise, and they know it. Kind of figured it wouldn't be launched before that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I just hope they release it soon. The LTE issues seem to be pretty severe. They probably don't want Razr users jumping ship to another model.

Bam!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
So what's the actual issue with lte that's causing the delay? (The technical issue)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glenelgstudio:
Was able to hold my verizon galaxy yesterday the guy in the store is holding 2 for me but he has several of them. I used it with wifi and i really like it but it feels different in the hand from the gsm one. Anyway just got a call from him telling me I could not pick it up on Friday because he got a call from Verizon and it does not look good. They have the phones in store but will not sell them. I may get me a gsm version afterall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Yup. Went to the Verizon store after work and had a good conversation. The manager said it was "delayed indefinitely" by Samsung. I said, by Samsung? And he said, "Well a bit of both Samsung and other factors". I said, "Liiiike...Verizon?" And he said well it's a bit of both. I said, "No I don't think it is". Then he conceded. Why on Earth did he even feel the need to lie about something like that? lol His bastardized company is the reason the phone isn't on the market, not Samsung.

Anyway, he said he doesn't know when it'll be available for purchase, but definitely won't be on Friday. He said the email was received today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
I'll see if i can find out anything on the delayed indefinitely last i herd was most likely next week but things always change I'll post back if i can find anything out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lorddart:
Yeah I'm still in the boat thinking Verizon will just drop the phone entirely :-P they're such jack asses... I also read something regarding a push to have nfc disabled... Anyway yeah Verizon has definitely screwed this up and I don't think they appreciate the concept of the nexus line... : / and weren't realizing it won't reel in as much profit and sales as the other phones they actually are promoting...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
there is no way verizon would spend millions on a phone and not sell it trust me. OK so it looks like everything is still on plan for next week preorders starting this week-end or early next week if anyone uses this info on a blog don't use my name use xda thanks if i find out any changes I'll post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klarson:
I'll take your word. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
So don't quote me, but I have a friend who works for Verizon who says yes they have the phone but pushed the release date to the thirteenth because they want there version of google wallet instead. So a update needed to be created to rid the original app. Please don't post this anywhere but here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The original didn't have Google wallet I thought. Not even the GSM has it yet. Unless they plan on releasing the Verizon's version at launch to beat Google to the punch?

Lol. How is a competitor going to beat you on your own device and OS? Slap in the face much?

If I was Google, I'd be pissed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tsoflyyup:
Here goes the rumors all over again, google wallet was not even preinstalled on the phone. I don't even see it on the unboxing pics that Droid-life.com just uploaded. I really believe that the delay is because of the 4g outage. Verizon technicians and engineers can fixed the 4gLTE issue this week and over the weekend im sure. I think it will be released nextweek on a tuesday or thursday as Verizon typically does.... We will see though won't we.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Google wallet was built into the ics software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benb1974:
I wish Google would just start their own company and say **** you all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Thanks for the info. Any days next week they're leaning toward? I'd *really* like to not have to wait until next weekend to get the phone. My month with AT&T renews on the 15th...and I really don't want to have to pay for another month before cancelling my account. It's prorated, but they usually just give you a credit in the form of an AT&T gift card...which would be useless to me right now.

Absolutely nothing to do with it. Isis won't be done for another 6 months (they haven't even been able to hammer out a plan for *how* they want to develop it. We're talking about a joint operation between 3 major carriers...it won't be ready until end of summer 2012, at least)...so they're not waiting for that. The Nexus comes from Google without Google Wallet installed...everyone knows that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea. Google Wallet is a known issue that both Verizon and Google know about. Nothing has changed here.

But Verizon's network being down does give a good reason to postpone a launch.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Ehh...debatable. I'd rather have the phone now and have to put up with 4G problems for a few days than have to wait a few days for the phone. My AT&T month turns over on the 14th/15th...so I need to be on Verizon before then. I'd *MUCH* rather have the phone now, knowing it will have some 4G problems for a few days. I'm on WiFi most of the time, anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alopez_45:
My local Radio Shack of receiver their order of the Galaxy Nexus on Friday. Yet it's on hold. Let's see how that goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
the problem is with the 4g network down, provisioning the device takes forever. Bad enough current 4g devices are being bought and activated, causing a horrible backup in the switch. Then you try to force a fairly large phone launch on top of that? No way dude.

Tbolt and charge had 4g outages just before there launch, pushed about a week out each time. Im a firm believer on the 15th/16th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Kinda weird that the network goes down just before 3 major releases all within a short span of several months
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
I"m still hoping that since Verizon can delay a launch on the spot they can say its back on for tomorrow :) Im going to Jamaica Monday until Saturday so i guess if not ill hopefully be able to pick one up when i get back, or atleast order one while im down there.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

the craziest thing to me is theres been no marketing, they shipped EVERYTHING to the stores, planned a launch 3 days later, with still no marketing. No official announcement, and no official explanation of the delay.

Could a soft launch tomorrow still be possible?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I called 611 from my Verizon business Verizon line and the lady seemed real knowledgeable. She said the nexus wasn't launched yet and when I asked for a date she said she couldn't find one. She said there are lots of speculation and rumors online but nothing concrete.

If it was happening tomorrow the stores would have to know to make sure their staff were ready and available.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
so i was told last night that preorders are going on now in the past this normally meant the following morning it would be up on verizonwireless.com. i check this morning and nothing now i'm glad i didn't report that last night. apparently there is a promo that takes presence over the nexus. the longer the phones sit the more Vreizon loses in potential new costumers so they wont wait to long. it will be out before x-mas at most it might be pushed back 1 week but from what i'm told still on for next week although i don't know if that is the start of preorders or what i think the latest Tuesday we should here something official from Verizon. this is common for new phone launches they always get delayed for different reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Nope, not a chance at all. A launch like that requires some amount of contact before that day. I was in Verizon today to complain and they said best guesses are next Thursday. My company Rep said the common thing he had heard from his superiors was the push back was because of the 4G outage this week, but he said take it with a grain of salt because it's just what he'd heard.

Best guess is the 15th, atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Oh wait...all that sh*t you were talking on me eh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
LOL.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
THE 15th ass to mouth?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I wasn't talking any ****. I said nobody here believes the dates you're giving anymore because you gave multiple and said they're all confirmed.

I didn't confirm anything. I gave information that I had been told, I didn't say it's the truth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
Simmer down fellas....... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
i just talked to some people and what i was told, after they got out of a short meeting this morning, is as of right now the launch date is Thursday and no preorders still thing can change I'll keep you posted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The majority of us have heard the same thing, I hope it sticks this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
this isn't a rumor. i was just trying to keep everyone up to date. If i find any new info i will post here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Just be careful. Changing a date makes you unreliable lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Thx for the update rl...here's hoping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
It does when you presume it to be fact. He's saying this is what he's heard...that means even if the date *isn't* the 15th we can't very well say it was a lie.

However, if he said "the phone is launching on the 15th", and then it doesn't...he's a liar, and nobody will believe any of the other **** that comes out of his face.

^^ do you see the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
thanks for the back up;)

that is also why i said as of right now i know things can change and i just pass on the info

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
So don't shoot the messenger!

So i talked to my boss (higher up the food chain than the guys i usually ask for info) today about the nexus launch, first off let me say he admittedly said he wasn't paying attention as well as he should have been, but from or conversation as i understood it was. verizon does not want this phone on there network and verizon does not know what to do "internal arguments" about what they want to do. So looks like the launch is off for now. he did say that it looks like it will be after the first of the year.

i asked why he said something about apps, he was not very sure what about apps. my guess is verizon wants more bloatware

do not post my name or link to this thread just reference xda

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

lol i wonder how many more dates to come

EDIT... the nexus will come to verizon eventually they will not waist all the money they put into the phone but i would not expect a big supply of nexus i speculate when there gone thats it

Likely Email from Verizon to all who signed up for Galaxy Nexus info:

" Thank you for registering to receive the most current information on the Galaxy Nexus. We are excited to announce that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available online and in stores as of ... yesterday. As always, device availability is on a first-come-first-served basis. Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless. "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
My local Verizon said the 15th also. The Guy sounded kinda annoyed that I asked. Guess he's been getting alot of calls about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I have asked everywhere and hey have no clue at all, they are just repeating what they hear over the web.

The funniest of all was last night when I asked a girl at BestBuy. She was caring around an iPad and actually started googling it, I was laughing inside, and then she says: "December 9th" laughing at her face I said, "what are you waiting for, today is the 12th". lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
My local store just said launch is Thursday and they get the rest of their shipment in tomorrow. He said they have to figure out what time their gonna open the store and make sure they have enough staff on hand and what not. He's gonna call me back tomorrow with details.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
My store just called me to ask if I was still interested about the Nexus. He got my voicemail and wanted me to return his call.

Now we're playing phone tag.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
Called my store he anticipated a Thursday release date and said in so many words they were in stock and was hoping they would be released they are getting annoyed with all the questions. But who knows unless something changes i will be waiting outside like an isheep Thursday morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Boy i hope you are wrong...but you haven't been far off the mark yet. If vz doesn't release Thursday then I'm done. This Eris was on it's last leg months ago and I'm gonna get a rezound and forget about all this nexus bull****. Can't wait until another carrier outdoes vz, I'm so done with big red.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
i hope the lintel was wrong too. but i have met some of corporate verizon peps and the vast majority have been snobs. although some have been down to earth. if the snobs are running the show on this then anything could happen! i think this all has to do with power and control. but Google doesn't care about sales all this does is hype up android and that's what Google wants. just my $.02
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
It'll be tomorrow. My local store called last night, and they have the demo up today. Calling into VZW 611 and they'll tell you the same thing.

The Rezound is a pretty slick device. It's my work phone (which the Nexus will be replacing). I'm getting a good charge all day out of it and its solid. For the money, my vote goes to the Nexus. Slap the extended battery on it and call it a day.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry Laffer:
Hi gang:

I have my EVO 4G running MIK2.59. Installed AMON RA 3.07 and did rename the file in the root directory. Seems like I cannot get into Nandroid to do a backup. Power the unit down and restart with the volume down while depressing the power button. I get the white HBOOT menu but when I get to the backup / restore option and select recovery the phone takes off and goes back to Android system recovery menu. It worked once when I first installed it last week but not since.

Another question, which I think I already know the answer to is can I change the rom and / or kernel without having to reinstall every program. I have Titanium plus installed but that doesn't seem to put everything back into place.

For your SMS and Mms I always use "mybackup", this app is great for backing up all your text pic mesg and keyboard dictionary. TB is great for restoring the app+data for all over your other apps. You cannot flash a new rom and keep all your apps the same state. That's why TB comes in handy to restore your apps after you flash your new rom. When you flash a new kernel the only thing that changes is the new kernel and your rom and apps stay un affected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry Laffer:
Great...

All my questions answered for now.

But now I need to find another ROM (MIK 2.59) works fine but I would like to have the capability of turning on 4G if I want to.

Listening to any and all opinions. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krankymonki:
Every rom that I have flashed have always had the ability to turn of 4g if you want to. It's usually in the pull down notifications or you can (menu/settings/wireless and network settings/4G settings) here you can also turn the 4G off.

Hi guys,

Im wondering whether something is up. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i updated last week. It updated the firmware (this is the Android Version right? to 2.3.4. I have seen however that there is a 2.3.5 out currently.

Im from England and was wondering if this was actually the latest firmware out for my device?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
chances are your 2.3.4 is the latest especially if your phone is carrier branded as they will want to test and add there own bloatware to the rom before release which generally slows release down

Hi, I have an Orange SG2 and it is running 2.3.5 the update being received via kies several Weeks ago...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_1989:
Slightly off the topic, I was wondering if there is an insecure kernel for the 2.3.5 firmware? I rooted, and i'm running the nearest I can find (XWKJ1). I wouldn't be bothered, but ever since rooting and using the clockwork mod to backup my stuff, my screen has become a little less contrasty, and brighter, makes the sceen quality look a tad off.

I know I can run the secure kernel, but it would end up that I can't use clockwork mod.

I will be installing a custom rom soon anyway, but i've only had the phone a few months, so the stock rom is still okay-ish for me now.

Anyone shed any light?
