[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyinggerbil:
(possibly) interesting development???

just spoke with mike at my local verizon wireless store in dc. i asked if he had any information on the galaxy nexus and he said that they were supposed to be selling them today, that they had them in the store, but that they are unable to do so because of a system issue with verizon. i asked him about this and he said that the phones are not appearing in the verizon internal system but that they are hoping to have this resolved by this afternoon. i asked him if this meant they would possibly be selling the phones this afternoon and he said that was correct. he took my name and number and said he'd call back if they could sell the phone (apparently, they already have a list of people who have called about the phone). if i get a call and the floodgates open i'll be sure to post.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

based on what? more rumors or is their a verizon announcement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
So far no phone call. I'll be calling them shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyinggerbil:
i don't know. i just have a feeling we're close here. not sure why (especially given how much we've all been burned in the past with this device). it would also be tres bizarre to release a phone without an official announcement from the carrier. vz must really hate this device (prob because it isn't a droid).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samzebian:
called my closest verizon store, no go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Just got the phone call, she said it would launch on the 15th with no preorders. What a disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prjkthack:
That is based on a conference call I just had. The 15th is now what they are shooting for, and it has been delayed because they are trying to coordinate a big launch between all national retailers, and some of the retailers have yet to actually receive their shipment, hence the delay.

Of course we were also told that the 15th wasn't a 100% sure thing, that it could further be delayed, but the 15th is now what they are shooting for.

Compared to most phone launches, this is a pretty terrible one despite it being a pretty big launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Crazy stuff. I spoke with 2 csr's, both said not today, 1 said probably next thursday (15th). One suggested I go to the infamous verizon/galaxy nexus link and enter my email address for release info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aagvain:
had an appt with a local vz store today. yesterday the rep called me to advise of the postponed launch. he said he has a phone for me but can't sell it until the system would allow. He advised he would call me as soon as he is allowed to sell it.

so i have a phone....w/o having the phone :^/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
this thread is funny..... relax you ain't getting Nexus today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clutch987:
I bet when the 14th comes around their LTE will suddenly develop problems again, and then it will get pushed back another week, and then another week. The only possible way I see anyone getting the phone this year is to develop a terminal illness, and use "Make-a-Wish" to get one as your wish.

I have never seen a company so unwilling to sell a $300 gadget, that they will make boat-loads on. The whole Verizon/Nexus/Google fiasco will probably kill any chances of any future Nexus devices coming to Verizon. Thanks for listening to your customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justanothernoob:
just wanted to say calm down you guys will get your Unobtainium, I got mine....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polo045:
OK guys here's the scoop, the phone will officially be for sale on Sunday. I work for radio shack and we are now allowed to say when the phone will be released. There you go. Just got the email from vzw. I suggest you be at your local store early as units are limited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tsoflyyup:
Sunday ? lol, Ill stick with the 15th rumor :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xarthos:
My store rep told me last night the 15th. He usually gives me good information but I don't trust Verizon to give good communication on anything and they might even tell their reps garbage too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Show some proof or its a lie
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
I still think its a VZ ploy to delay the whole Fn thing.

Pushing Razrs and ReZounds WITH BEATS !!! out the door is what they want to do too much money in ads that are still running.

Google/Samsung screwed the Nexus line up big time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
I've heard the 15th a lot ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polo045:
The proof will be on Sunday. Sleep If you wanna, check my posts, I don't get on here much, so I don't troll. I'm not into that, was just trying time give good solid news from a reliable source, Me! I have no reason to lie. Like I said, be at your local store early cause supplies are limited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
0 posts, no proof, totally contradicting every other leaked email/memo

kinda hard to believe bud. maybe bring some PROOF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I can't see Verizon letting another store launch a product when they themselves can't sell it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
We heard the 9th a lot too....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polo045:
Suit yourself. Like I said, be early. Lol. You guys are funny, like it can't be that serious. Just go with it, it's real.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
That is such a wonderful picture. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Just says this is the Galaxy Nexus and will be available in select stores and Direct2U this week.

Then it gives phone specs.

I wonder if their Calendar week ends on Saturday or Sunday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
It said December 14th at the bottom is when they're to hang the marketing and when the Nexus takes place of the Charge in their planogram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Matches up with the 15th date. Then again, lots of info seemed mighty official. Let's just hope this sticks...

Mounting Box.net on your Desktop

Linux Users​

For those on linux theres a way to mount the box drive as webdavfs.

Original Link: http://www.thetechrepo.com/id=537 (Credit to alienmind for finding - say Thanks)

You can easily mount a WebDAV filesystem on Linux so that you can access the files just like they were on your local computer. One way to do is to install the davfs2 package (this is the Ubuntu/Debian package name, though it should be similar for other distros). Once you have installed it, add an entry to /etc/davfs2/secrets with your login credentials for the WebDAV account.

For box.net, the command would look like this:

[COLOR="Purple"]sudo echo[/COLOR] “https://www.box.net/dav username password” >> /etc/davfs2/secrets

You need to choose a mountpoint on your local filesystem for the WebDAV mount. In this example I am going to use /mnt/box.net, so go ahead and create the directory:

[COLOR="Purple"]mkdir[/COLOR] /media/box.net

Now add an entry to /etc/fstab for this filesystem, which will allow you to automatically mount it at boot time. If you want your normal user (instead of just root) to have write access, specify your uid (username) and gid (can be the same as your username) on the mount line along with your newly-created mountpoint:

https://www.box.net/dav /mnt/box.net davfs defaults,uid=username,gid=username 0 0

Save your changes to /etc/fstab and now try mounting your remote filesystem. It should mount successfully and now be accessible at your mountpoint. Note: if you have trouble writing files to the WebDAV filesystem, take a look at this article for a solution.

MAC & Window Users​

To have box.net, Dropbox, Googl Docs, Sugar Sync, and others in one folder use otixo.com. Just sign up and add your accounts then click on the link at the bottom of the page that says 'otixo on your Desktop'. It will guide you on how to mount your cloud services as a network drive.

Visit otixo.com and sign up for free. I tried it and it works perfectly.

.......................................................................................​

P.S

When I used root explorer it didn't work all the time, I used prop editor and I cleared the box.net app data before trying again and that seemed to do the trick
[Android Apps and Games] LlirasChosen:
As an aside, if you already have a 50gb box.net from either the HP Touchpad or Apple product special offers you can't get it. They don't stack on accounts, so you'll need to create multiple accounts to get all the free 50gb offers. They also do not work if you pay for a box.net account.
[Android Apps and Games] orntar:
worked a charm, thank'd!

thx it worked perfectly!

work too bad no easy free way to sync files with my computer.

now if anyone can help me get larger space for my dropbox, it will be better!
[Android Apps and Games] Harsha Raj:
Assuming you are doing this with root explorer, one you edit the prop file, you need to mount back read only (r/o) and then restart.

Once you have the account, switch back to original prop.
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
What are you using to edit your build.prop?

Sent by wiggling my big toe
[Android Apps and Games] ArmorD:
Aye, works! I had a little problem editing the build.prop file, I just added the ro.model. blablabla lines, and forgot to erase the original model.zte lines. :D

Great job, my friend! I'll spread the word!

EDIT! Dammit, guess what? I have now two box accounts with 50GB! When I was strugling with the prop file, I made another box account(I thought that was the problem), and now that I made the prop file "work", my both accounts were activated with the extra LG space! Excellent!
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
I can make as many accounts as you want, they dont even check to see it the emails are valid lol

[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
Your refering to your build.prop then yes (make sure you make a backup before attempting the mod). After you've dont the mod and created an account just restore your backup
[Android Apps and Games] Sunemol:
Thx

Über nice and thx for that
[Android Apps and Games] Soundbombing:

It worked well after rebooting..... thank you very much...

Do you know if the market app also checks for this or if i would have to change some other values

Hi it is 100mb

Normally free Box Personal accounts have a 25MB upload limit, but we’re bumping it up to 100MB for this promotion in order to help you get the most out of your 50GB of storage. With a 100MB upload limit, you’ll be able to easily save pictures, presentations, audio files and documents to the cloud.

[Android Apps and Games] AnakTeKa:
last time i try this, Manufacturer change to LG, and now it Sony Ericsson o.0
[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
to add to this, when i changed my build.prop using ES File Explorer i made a backup, just adding .bak to build.prop (build.prop.bak). ES also made a backup of my original build.prop after i altered it, so i had two build.prop backups. handy feature of ES to naturally do that.

if you leave your build.prop backup file in it's native location, don't be surprised if you end up with three files when you are done, when using ES that is.
[Android Apps and Games] 18rmiller:
and if I didnt make a backup?
[Android Apps and Games] JDM Civic EG8:
Then just extract it from your rom zip. And place it in the correct location.

Please advise

The offer will expire in December 2012. So you still have around 10 months to take advantage of this offer. Yes you will have to change the build.prop file.

You can flash your rom again or push your backup to the right place using adb. I've tried this on ICS and it works fine. Are you sure you followed the instructions properly?

By load u screen do you mean on the boot animation ?

hi there

I also got these 50 gb of online storage - but I cannot figure what I can use it for - I tried oploading a single mp3 from my pc, on wifi - that took a fair amount of time..

So my question is - what do you guys use it for??

- initially I contemplated uploading my 35 gigs of music, and then streaming it on my phone - but that will take months, i think......
[Android Apps and Games] Sokudoningyou:
I'm only asking in this thread, because I remembered the build.prop edit bit, but...

I have an Entourage PocketEdge that has a modified version of 2.2 on it that makes it think it's a Nexus. Can I edit the build.prop to make the market think it's a tablet of some type instead? (Since it is, actually.) And to what would I change it to?

My mistake, sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
We know (well I do), most people here have got a 50GB box account (not drop box).

The reason this mod works is because BOX.NET are giving out 50gb accounts to Sony Ericsson/LG users and we are making our phones look like LG/SE devices to the box app.

Meanwhile,

'DROPBOX' are giving out 50GB accounts to users with HTC sense 4.0 as a promotion.

Iv done the mod for box.net but I ALSO wanted to get the 50gb drop box account.

Hopefully this clears up up any confusion because I can't make this any simpler.
