Experience ordering my galaxy nexus from mobilecityonline.com

Im sure with the many websites selling the nexus their are people who wondering where to buy from and hopefully this will help.

I had signed up for email alerts on the stock for the galaxy nexus. When I first checked they were expecting an ETA of Nov 23 2011(which I believe was the day before thanksgiving). It wasn't bad at all so I decided to check the place out. November 22 comes along and I get an email from MCO stating that the phone is in stock. I had pre ordered it. So once I authorized the payment I had To verify my card and ID. This was the biggest "hassle" of the entire process but I also understand that the phone is a $750 and they want to prevent fraud. I couldn't FAX my information on the day stock came in so I had to wait until the day after thanksgiving. Once I faxed my information, I called and they had to verify with the store manager (they base their store in NYC). Weekend goes by then Monday comes along. I get an email that they have shipped my phone. I receive my phone on Tuesday and I couldnt have been more excited. All in all the customer service was great. They answered all their calls in a timely manner and they always called back. I will deft purchase at MCO again.

Just purchased a Streak running Android 2.3.3. I set up my gmail account on phone and everything looked ok. Mail and calendar appear to sync fine but only a few contacts synced. When I open Settings/Accts & Sync, the gmail account shows and sync is turned on.But if I open Contacts/menu/Accounts, gmail does not appear and if I try to add an account, gmail is not present as an option. How do I get the google contacts to sync?

Does anyone know the procedure for making a bootable sd card that will run the Phiremod 7.1 rom from the sd card on my Nook Color? I don't want to put it on the emmc and I can't seem to find out how to do this. I have tried just changing the file name to make it think it was like the CM7 build but that does not work. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I did try it once. Do you just copy the Phiremod zip onto the SD card in place of the CM7 zip file? Do you have to change the file name of the Phiremod zip?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzag:
+1 for the effort, about time someone did an all-in-one topic about this rather common issue.

I've had the same problem and noticed it the day I bought my phone, a friend called and immediately complained about the echo. I did a quick Google search and found out that it's a rather common problem and caused by most case types, removing the case or disabling NR did indeed fix my problem.

Anyway, I have tried many fixes, including VillianTweaks/LeoMar's fix, turns out those only remove the ability to turn NR on/off, but it was still turned on by default. This fix however was the only one that actually worked:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332137

The fix above had a minor drawback though, the first call after reboot always had NR enabled by default. I wanted a set and forget solution to permanently disable NR so I learned a bit about deodexing/decompiling and managed to get rid of it for good, you can check the fix in here:

Wow ;)

I'd disagree. I heard a slight echo also without the case (I called from a land phone to hear it myself). Lots of SGS2s work fine with cases, with NR on. Killing NR should not be considered the solution.

I've opened the phone and inserted two thin layers of white medical tape over the ear speaker (much less tape than in that hebrew sample). The original echo gone completely, with and without case. But now the other party hears a very slight echo of me. I don't consider tape a solution either. Perhaps the speaker is not mounted properly (sticks out too much)?

I was wondering about the position of the cushion, don't understand what that guy meant precisely. Mine looked a bit squashed by the case, maybe too firm contact?

> 1. The lower playback speaker is always on (!)

Are you sure? It could be transmission via the case? I guess the add-on cases increase the transmission.

> 3. BUT not all phones have echo, thus there is also a NR settings or algorithm problem that should or may be resolved by a firmware/phone/PDA update.

I'm not sure the NR algorithm can be fixed so that it can work with a faulty phone.

@bazzag: Thanks for VillainTweaks info, I'll scratch that until further notice.

@_sem_: Essentially I agree that killing NR is not a proper solution, as it is just a remedy for a sickness, which would return in a very noisy environment when NR may be needed. But given that this will probably never get properly fixed, it seem to be the best option we have for now. ALSO:

a) In the 1st § you say you called your own phone and found echo, then in the 2nd § you said: "But now the other party hears a very slight echo of me." these seem the same to me, or did you mean that now you hear echo when using your mobile to call someone else?

b) > 1. The lower playback speaker is always on (!)

Actually I am not sure about this as I live in very noisy environment, but everyone standing next to me, during phone calls, say then can hear everything the other person is saying!

c) > Service Center Solutions: Add 4. Replace old SIM card

Now THIS is a shocker! Why on earth would upgrading the SIM card have anything to do with this? Where did you see and hear about this solution?

d) We have the exact same stock SW/HW!

I think the best option is the service center if you have stock ROM. You may need to convince them first, best by showing another SGS2 that works fine with your case. But that'd take much more time for me than inserting that tape did.

It really isn't difficult. Except that I'd feel a bit better knowing the exact problem better. It may be possible that the change was just due to taking the phone apart and back, not the due to the tape. I'm too lazy to do it five times trying this and that ;) I'd ask the next one who tries this to check if the speaker can perhaps be pushed a fraction of a mm deeper into its seat, so that the speaker would have less or no contact with the (removed) back of the case. I think this could be better than tape.

> a) In the 1st § you say you called your own phone and found echo, then in the 2nd § you said: "But now the other party hears a very slight echo of me." these seem the same to me, or did you mean that now you hear echo when using your mobile to call someone else?

This echo is on the level of the previous echo without case - barely noticable if you're listening carefully, but no longer an issue really. And, those phones that do not have the problem don't have any tape inside ;)

b) > 1. The lower playback speaker is always on (!)

> Actually I am not sure about this as I live in very noisy environment, but everyone standing next to me, during phone calls, say then can hear everything the other person is saying!

I think this could also be caused by the case conducting the sound. It must also be emitting some around. I've also read some folks got improvements by cutting ugly large holes in gel cases at the back - that'd probably decrease conduction.

[General Questions and Answers] Jeff827:
Hi,

I have a HTC Wildfire S and I have installed 4 or 5 custom roms (one of these was the stock rom). With each ROM I tried I had the same series of problems. I had absolutely no internet, through data or wifi, and I had no ability to send or receive texts. I can still make and receive voice calls. However, if I recover my original (yet, damaged) version of the stock rom, I no longer have these issues. I was wondering if it has anything to do with regions: I am in the U.S. and most if not all the ROMs I installed were Asian or Euro. But I was reading that others had no serious issues like i am having due to region differences.

I imagine it is a radio problem, and i would appreciate if anyone can describe how I can update/flash my radio (i.e. where I can find a radio that would work). I've spent hours searching for an htc wildfire s radio file and couldn't find anything except a european version on this site. Would that work for me if I use it in the U.S.?

Any help is greatly appreciated, as right now I am out $150.

Update: I just discovered that in the custom roms it says IMEI: Unknown, and nothing about a MEID number. I have an MEID number, not an IMEI. Could this be why i'm having trouble?

Jeff
[General Questions and Answers] Jeff827:
In case anyone was interested, I believe I found my answer. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am still uncertain.

The ROMs I flashed were for GSM phones. I have a CDMA phone. In other words, the roms I installed were trying to find a IMEI number and I have a MEID number.

Does anyone know if there is any way around this?

Someone already posted something like this from the Bionic which is even cloder to our phone. Like they said PLEASE DONT FLASH THAT ROM...or any ROM not made for the Atrix2. To answer your questions

EMMC is internal media space, or internal storage that is user accessible. We do not have that space, our 8gb of internal space is not user accessible.

The backups are 200mb bigger because of Webtop (assuming you are comparing it to a Droid 3 backup)

I do not know why the boot folder is empty. A reason why it may not be safe to use this bootstrap.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lfaber06:
Nope, I'm comparing backups I made from my a2. one with the atrix bootstrap and one with the droid safestrap. the one made with safe strap is actually over 300mb bigger. Is that because of webtop?

Not that i want to see you brick your A2, but were you able to restore a backup? That is the only that scares me about doing any kind of tweaks. I like to do backups anytime I am doing any kind of changes, just in case i blow it up. Once we get an SBF to flash back to stock, I won't be worried.

Recently my number has not been showing up when I call people it just shows as withheld/unknown, and also when people call me it always shows their numbers as unknown even if they are saved in my phone already. I was told at T-Mobile these problems are just part of the version software I'm running on my phone and I should update it.

I've tried doing the latest update through the phone and it will restart then be stuck on the screen with the little green guy sitting under a triangle with a orange exclamation mark inside of it. I took it to T-Mobile and they tried to install the latest software and eventually (after many times trying to update it) said I just need to go home and find the latest software update and install it via my computer to bring it back to 100% normal as they cannot do it without it being hooked up to my computer.

Where can I even download the latest firmware/whatever it's called and how would I do the updating with the phone connected to my computer? Is there a guide I can be linked to to explain updating rooting/unlocking/etc all in one thread?
