This is a Beta version.you shoud wait for next version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atoy74:
I apologize up front for the quasi rant but I was all for switching carriers, paying an early termination fee and paying more for service (by a decent amount) but Verizon is going to far charging $300 up front. As long as the gold standard is the iphone and they're at $200...everyone has to compete.

Maybe I should tweet this directly to Verizon and not post here. Just wondering if others are feeling the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabzilla1990:
Yup Verizon charges waaay too much for phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I remember talking my wife into a smartphone, we went to radio shack, as she was on sprint, thought we were gonna get an entry level android and walked out with an epic 4g for $249! I had never seen a contract phone cost so much. Now many Verizon phones are $299. It would be too funny w the nexus hits Sprint if it is $199 lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian6685:
Google partnering with Verizon on the US launch was such a mistake...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kc9bvl:
The sad thing is in a month or two after launch amazon wireless will be selling it for a penny.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I wonder if you have not been paying attention for the past six months to a year when they've been charging $299 for ALL of their high end LTE smartphones? I'm not saying its a good price I'm just saying no one should be surprised by this at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atoy74:
I have been paying attention and it's another Verizon ploy to force the industry into changing. They did this with doubling the ETF and years ago they forced the industry to move from 1yr contracts to 2yrs. I dont remember if it was them or AT&T that first went to tiered data.

$300 (contract price) + $350 (ETF) = $650. The argument was always that the ETF was to cover the subsidized price. Most phones are roughly $500 off contract. They're just milking their customers more and more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Very true..

That's why I'm planing on getting it at Costco or any other retail store. ($199)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
lol no they're not? High end phones release at $600-$700. All but the base iPhone models come out at that price point, as do pretty much every other high end phones. Stop crying about something that, in reality, isn't actually a problem.

Inflation is something that has pretty much never been accounted for in the wireless world. Phones have been selling for about the same amount they sold for in the mid-90s, and yet now people are crying.

Oh, and what are you talking about 1-year contracts? The first 4 contracts I signed with AT&T, 10 years ago, were all 2-year contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
$300.00 is in line with the other VZW smartphones with 32GB memory (including the 32GB iPhone 4S).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psufan5:
Id be happy with them just RELEASING THE DAMN PHONE... WTF is the hold up?! Seriously.. this is going to be pointless by the time it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RVDigital:
Verizon iPhone 4s is $299 and its NOT LTE. I paid 299 for my EVO 3D and while I regret it now, its the cost of being an early adopter of a top tier phone.

On a larger note:

As I've stated on other threads, this comes down to lack of good competition in the marketplace. I don't want to get all political on this thread, but this is what happens when you have limited competition among carriers. Now when I say "This" I don't mean the price of the phone, I'm referring to the overall cost of being a customer (monthly bills, ETFs, contract lengths, etc). Chances are, the pain of a $299 price tag would be exponentially reduced if that bill you're paying every month was reduced by 25%. We're a heavily consumer driven population and a majority of us on this thread are included in that group(myself included, guilty). We sit here waiting and ranting for a phone to be released. We're basically saying "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY", while barely coughing at the price. Meanwhile, these same companies spend millions of dollars to lobby our governments to more or less bend laws in their favor (for more on this see "lack of wireless carrier regulation in network neutrality"). I'd also direct your attention to how over a decade ago, many of these companies were paid billions of tax payer dollars to build out a network infrastructure and instead wasted the money on their own interests. Where is the regulation??! Peel the onion back and take a peek. The amount of effort you spend doing so and working for change will gauge how truly frustrated you are. Chances are, you'll read this post, and it might hit a curiosity nerve, but that's where it will end. You'll forget all about it as you continue paying that $100+/month bill and this is exactly what they're banking on. It is a "vote with your dollars" situation what will take you learning about the backside of the system. It will take you educating yourself about the lawmakers taking the money from these companies and ensuring you cast a vote each election season that favors a corporation independent lawmaker (i kind of lol, just thinking of this). While I consider myself a conservative independent, this problem is not an argument of Left or Right politics, this is a real world corporate america issue.

TL;DR - Your rant of high cost is a mere drop in the bucket when you start looking into what is really going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
At&t had tiered data for at least six months before Verizon did. Phones are not $500 off contract either. Also, carriers lost money on the $150 etf so can't really blame them there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hanano17:
I'm with everyone else saying this shouldn't be surprising at all, they've charged this much for every high end LTE phone thus far. They have no REAL competition in the 4G area yet, so why wouldn't they charge that much? It's called smart business practices. We don't like it, but we are still going to pay it regardless. Can't blame them for milking it as long as they can, aka until AT&T and the rest get a legit 4G/LTE network up and running and wide spread (the handful AT&T has atm is nothing). Once that happens, the prices will probably drop to lure/keep customers around.

BTW, I'm pretty sure 289-299 will be the price regardless of where you buy for the first couple weeks. Costco's price is $289. Maybe Wirefly or someone will have one for $269...but I highly doubt any place is going to be selling it for $199 on launch day or that week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
LTE phones all released at $300 on contract. All new iphones with 32GB of storage also released at $300 on contract. I don't see any problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atoy74:
I can't speak for AT&T but I was a Prime Co/Verizon customer for many years then switched to Sprint. I had many 1yr contracts. Really, was it necessary to call me a liar?

Guys, $500 full price smartphone does very much exist. The Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII, which is an excellent phone) is $499 off contract at Sprint. See link

Evo 3D is $549

Photon 4G is $549
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atoy74:
Completely agree and well said. That's generally where I was going with this. The industry keeps trending more and more expensive. I'm saying that I'm drawing the line at $300 phones now. I dont want to end up like Rogers in Canada with 3yr contracts and expensive rates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
Hey you can come to Canada where our phones are between free and $150 on contract for almost every phone. You know if you like three year contracts instead... and having to pay $10 more on your plan for Caller ID and voice mail.

And i mean you guys actually have limits on your ETF they are what $350 and when you get the phones for free on an amazon sale... Our ETF is the price of the discount so if you want a decent device prepare for a $500-600 ETF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
Unlimited minutes,

Verizon: $300 + $120 a month = $3180 over two years

T-Mobile: $700 + $60 a month = $2180 over two years

500 minutes,

Verizon: $300 + $90 a mont = $2460

T-Mobile: $700 + $50 a month = $1900

Verizon could give away their phones for free, they are still too expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
True but sadly they still have the largest subscriber base in the country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
And tthe best overall coverage and speed, with the most 4g coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Cant believe that's expensive to you guys.. Canadians get 3 year contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Absolutely true. There are a lot of people who can only use Verizon because their coverage is so vast. They're obviously getting good service for their money. Doesn't make it less expensive!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Except that T-Mobile has a horrible network in many places, can't penetrate walls thicker than 1/4", has a bad selection of phones, and has no customer base (relative to the other giants)...which means free calling to T-Mobile subscribers is worthless to most people.

No thanks, I'd rather spend $90 a month and get AT&T or Verizon than spend $50 a month and get T-Mobile.

BTW, according to T-Mobile's site, 2GB of Data with 500 minutes and unlimited text is $70 a month, not $50. So there's only a $20 difference a month. Then again, with the $90 on Verizon you get LTE, which currently is double the amount of data per month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
Personally, the reason I have Verizon (and this is something that almost 2 years ago when I looked, no other carrier did without an international plan...) is because I have family in Canada, that I make calls to regularly. Verizon is/was (as I said, I'm not sure if AT&T or T-Mobile or Sprint have added plans for this yet...) because you CAN get a National+Canada calling plan and be able to make calls to Canada, or while in Canada, without having to shell out any extra cash outside of the plan. This plan is great for me and my family. Comparably priced international plans from AT&T/T-Mobile/Sprint were incredibly overpriced, I didn't need international calling, I just needed to call Canada.

I will agree though, Verizon does have the best and most reliable network. I'd stick with them, even if I didn't need to call Canada. It's worth the extra couple of dollars to keep them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Obviously depends on where you live. Everyones got different coverage and experience in their area. Clearly Verizon has better nationwide coverage.

Customer base for mobile-to-mobile doesn't matter with unlimited plans, either.

And he's referring to $60 per month because presumably if you're buying the GN for $700 you're off contract, which means you can get the no-contract prices that are cheaper on T-mobile. FWIW you can get really good deals on contract at T-mobile is well. Bringing your phone and not getting a subsidy from them is a bargaining piece for you to get a lower rate on a 2-year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Agreed. I have T-Mobile now in a big city and have coverage pretty much every where. I travel for work all over the US and while I typically always have coverage, I don't have decent data (GPRS). My Verizon usually has 3G coverage everywhere I go. So when I consolidate down, I choose Verizon.

For everyone else that doesn't travel outside their city much, T-Mobile is fine.

You guys didn't get the memo?

Oh, and you can thank the iPhone for this (and tiered data while I'm at it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
If it makes you feel any better mine was free, with no activation fees, and my plan is also a lot cheaper.

Network is dependent on where you live. Where I live, Verizon is horrible and T-Mobile is great, but I understand the opposite is true for many others. And for most people (to whom this message is really targetted at), they have great Verizon AND great T-Mobile coverage.

Phone selection is pretty awesome. You could be using the Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile right now.

If minutes are that important, unlimited plans on T-Mobile are priced pretty similarly to the 450 minute plans of ATT and Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atoy74:
That's awesome.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Reds4ever:
I can pair my neo to my sony tablet but they will not connect. Both have bluetooth on and both say paired. If I tap the sony tablet choice on my list of devices on my neo it will not even attempt to connect. I have deleted, resetup, etc.

If I tap another paired device it will attempt to connect and saying connecting. With the Tablet and my Neo they both show the other device, they both say paired but if I tap the tablet device on the list on my Neo it will NOT even try to connect. If I long press the only option I get is to unpair.

Anybody have a suggestion?

Can I use MIUI theme or Clock on another rom? is there a way?

I am on a new rom and it has the clock and stuff still on the card under:

ROOT: MIUI>.cache>ResourceBrowser>preview

there were MIUI wallpapers and themes and stuff in there too.

I tried Unnamed roms double tap and voice commands (that come with the phone)

on another rom, but installing the 2 caused phone crash =/

So what can/can't work together, and why? (so I can know how to do stuff for future reference) CM7-MIUI/Stock rom = ????

Currently i've used:

Phone default

MIUI 1.11.9

Light'ning ROM 6.1

and I've tried about 6 kernels and 2 basebands.

And we flash it in recovery mode right? then we flash radio img, isn't it?
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Thats correct, use with cwm to flash the zip.

Then to update the radio, put the PD98IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard and reboot your phone while push and hold the volume_down key.
[Desire HD Android Development] aco_kuna:
1.Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

[Desire HD Android Development] mjehan:
Do we need the new RIL with the Radio ? Or just flash the radio ?
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
I think this is because I did not deodexed/zip aligned the rom. This must be enabled in order to use mods and stuff, but for the sake of stock I have not altered these features.

Maybe I release a deodexed/zip aligned version, but perhaps it would be wise to use a custom/tweaked rom with all these features already enabled.
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
The radio and rom are a matched-pair released by HTC, so the matching RIL is already in the rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] 62dentavsan:
Is there anyone who can tell me what are the advanteges of using stock 3.0 ? Right now I use Runny3D V4.0 with Sense 3.5, and I flashed Amaze Camera 3.5. It has minor issues with camera but quite ok. I wonder how is the camera app in the stock 3.0. Does it have panaroma or HDR function? I would be happy if someone tell me those.

Thanks again ;)

Hey guys-

I have CM7 on (7.10 stable) on my tablet and my phone, and on both of them I cannot download or preview mp3 attachments. There is no "Save" icon. On pdf, docx etc. attachments, no problem. And being a musician, I get lots of mp3s attached to emails for music I have to learn.

Is there a fix for this, or can someone recommend an app that will do email right?

And yes, I did try K9 mail. It has many bugs that make it unusable for me. I gave it two weeks and the default Email is just way better, except for this ONE feature.

This really makes me almost want to switch back to Liberated FR008 on my Aria to get back the HTC Sense Mail app! We've been emailing with attachments for two decades now. Someone has to have figured out how to do this besides HTC!

So all of a sudden my battery life is absolutely horrible. The other day I hadn't even touched the thing after taking it off the charger 5 hrs earlier and it was at 45%. As far as I know nothings changed besides updating Apps... Could it be one? If so, how do I figure out which? I don't use facebook and don't have any Apps running in the background, at least they aren't showing up in the status bar. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] NPS_CA:
What is Battery Status showing?

I had Facebook go nuts the last few days and the new update yesterday seems to spend much less time in Facebook once I was able to access to turn Notifications and auto refresh off.

Likely is an app you can disable all suspect apps in App info on ICS if you are running an ICS ROM on your Nexus S (each app at a time disable) and see if Battery improves and narrow down which specific app is the issue. If you are on 2.X then you may want to use an App like Titanium Backup to freeze a suspect app and see how battery life goes the rest of the day.
[Nexus S General] kos26:
Under settings? Shows display at 65% and several others with minimal usage, less than 7%. I am not using ics yet. I don't use facebook so I know that's not the problem.

I know about freezing Apps in titanium but how do I narrow down the suspect list? Right now it's all of them.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Can you post a breakdown of, say, the top 10 apps and their usage from the battery usage screen?

OR

If you can, take a screenshot with your phone. If youre running CM or other modded roms, you may already have the option in the power menu. If not, there's plenty of apps that will take screenshots, assuming you're rooted.
[Nexus S General] lombak2006:
It may be a recently installed app hogging the CPU clock

Try installing app like SetCPU (No need to have a rooted phone to track CPU load)

Check if the CPU runs 1000 MHZ constantly. It should be 100 when idle.

If so, try un-istalling the latest apps u installed one by one and ypu can detect the faulty app. Including recently updated apps.
[Nexus S General] onemadrssn:
