[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
You stated previously: "Never ever try another phone's charger on Galaxy S, or any expensive phone as a matter of fact.", what is absolute bull****.

As it is shown in the thread linked by me, ANY charger with current bigger than 900mA will work properly and safely.

The issue, that you have plugged something completely irrelevant to your phone doesn't means that SGS will work ONLY with original charger. Period

And Merry Christmas.

This is the first time I've ever stood in line for anything. Had it not been for the state of my Droid, I would have ordered online. But it was kind of exciting in a geeky sort of way.

There were about 15 people at the store at 8:30 waiting to get their hands on a Nexus. Everyone was in their cars until about 8:50, then one guy opened his car door and the race was on. I was third in line.

Most people stood there in silence waiting for the door to open, while a few of us chatted about the phone and kvetched about VZW's handling of the launch. As they were about to unlock the door, a guy pulled up and as he was walking to the back of the line, I asked him "So, are you here for the iPhone 4S, too??" Laughter ensued, and then they let the first five of us in to claim our unicorns.

This phone is every bit worth they hype, by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogreenbay07:
The exact same thing happened to me (the timing) but because it's sort of cold in South Dakota in December they let us wait inside as soon as we started a line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arrtoodeetoo:
lol. That was nice of them. We stood in the freaking rain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lodingi:
Lol. Good one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
waiting in their cars? i rode my motorcycle and parked right on the sidewalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
No waiting line. I went to a authorized verizon dealer. Only one there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] R_Thentic:
Same here with me. Walked in and I only saw 2 ppl look at the phone. Everyone else was interested in the White Razr..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arrtoodeetoo:
I would have walked over and shoved the Nexus in their face and said "RIDE THE UNICORN!!!"

Not really. But their loss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sexykika:
Should have gone to target its 199.98 there and no line
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arrtoodeetoo:
Dang. Oh, well. I used my last "New every two" update for this, so I actually walked out with the phone and a pack of screen protectors for a little over $250 with tax.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaucasianAsian:
There weren't a lot of people at my Verizon store. But I was there at about 8:30 and some old grandpa got there right after me. He proceded to walk to the door and stand there till 9. Me and my girlfriend were making fun of him because he was the only one standing there. Everyone else was in their cars waiting.

When 8:50 rolled around we all walked to the door and the old guy said, "So you are here for the Nexus too?" I was super surprised because it's not often that you see an old person that is up on the latest tech. I felt so bad for stereotyping him....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
We had at least 30 people in the store by the time I was checked out. They ended up telling people they ran out by the time I was walking out the door. I'm shocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] socalracer:
some funny stories, wish I had my own. I will be going by later today to look at the phone. Not that im not completely sold. I just like to touch it and play with it before I pay for it. Also i usually wait a week to 10 days after release to buy a phone. I don't know if that means I am just old school. Also im kinda disappointed in the pricing structures as I am out of contract and want this phone and avail for upgrade, and it seems new lines are getting the best pricing. I was kinda thinking being with VZW for 10 yrs and putting up with all their **** should give me some sort of better discount. Oh well, I forgot the last time I paid for a phone (lg dare, droid inc, and DX all free) I will work my magic after xmas provided vzw doesnt do anything stupid between now and then
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
There was fifteen or so people waiting for the nexus I made the comment I feel like an isheep everyone laughed except the guy who told me he had iPhone oh well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clutch987:
Walked in. said I was getting a new phone. They asked which one and I said "The Nexus". Their response was, we never got our shipment in. I almost jumped over the desk and beat someone half to death. They were just joking and it took me all of 10 minutes to get everything going and out the door.

I was talking with them about the wonderful release, and they were pretty upset since the official notice for release didn't come out til 5 yesterday. They said they had to call in a few people that had the day off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spectredroid:
Got mine, many didn't.

So, I was in line at 9:45. The manager of this store had one set aside for me, but I didn't want to chance waiting until later. There were about 40 people there for the gnex. By 10:30 I was out the the door and they were turning people away, calling other stores to see if they had any in stock. The manager said they got around 40. The phone is sweet. Haven't rooted yet, at work, but this was worth the wait. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smalltownbird:
I was fourth in line at 830. There were 20 people behind me. When we went inside at 9 they were not prepared at all. Only 3 employees there. They didn't even find the phone until 910!! The guy told me that they didn't even know it was launching today until he pulled up and saw the line! I joked with the people in line though telling them we were a there for the whit razr. The Verizon rep then said, "there is a white razor?"... it was sad
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Wow... It's times like these I realize how "techless" this place is... (Indiana)

City of ~200,000 people and I was at Radio Shack at 9:15am to find out they open at 10:00am (wtf?) so I went to a Verizon store next door. They had been open and one older lady was in there getting a feature phone. I asked if they had any Nexuses and he said "Yea, they are $249". I told him I was going to wait and see how much they were at the Shack so I left. Stopped in at a different Shack at 10 and no one was there but the manager. He said they would have some in today. I left for another Verizon store (non corporate) and there was one girl in there with a Droid. Nexuses were coming in later that day.

Finally stopped in at another Verizon store that had been open for over an hour and I was the only one there. I asked about the Nexus and he said "Yea we got some - you are the first one to ask about them".

I was there for an hour and ONE other guy came in and bought one.

5 stores, 3 hours - 2 Nexuses sold...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craighwk:
Went to the store in Centennial, CO around 9:10AM and was helped immediately. There were only 4 people in the store, two of whom were buying a Nexus, 3 including me. I got mine activated and walked out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azeolus:
This is one plus to living in Gods waiting room. Here in SWFL (3/4 of a million people) and I was in one of the main corporate stores 15 minutes after opening. A guy was at the counter getting his Nexus, I got the second one and no one else came in while I was there. I'm perfectly happy for all the old folks down here to not get 4g phones, keeps it nice and open for the rest of us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
At 15mins to open I arrived, 7 in line, mostly male, several older, most GN geeks. Word had it they only had 30 phones at the store, local store rumors were: radio shack had 2, best buy had 8, I called costco late yesterday and they were still awaiting delivery.

I got a great deal via company discount. I paid $249 for the phone, got 25% off the already discounted bundle accessory package, 22% off data/voice per month. I couldn't be happier and I haven't played much with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I was at the NE Columbia store about 8:40, only one there. Doors opened and I was the only one there getting a nexus. The rep I had spoke too last night had it in hand for me, I felt special lol. As I was waiting for my port over to complete a guy walked up and bought his outright. Turns out he's a fellow xda member and we talked about phones and roms and stuff. Pretty good morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
did the verizon people hand out water bottles, muffins, or coffee like the Apple store? usually I wait in line for the free stuff, when its my turn to get the Iphone, I just leave without buying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i haven't gone in to exchange yet(busy with other things)....

but will be going to Best Buy Mobile(have a Rezound to exchange).

i already confirmed with them though that they will either match CostCo's price or Walmart's.

CostCo = $289 + leather case, holster, car charger, screen protector

WalMart = $229

probably going to take the WalMart deal though as i don't care for the cases, already have car chargers & don't like screen protectors.

luckily it'll only be a $10 difference for me since i got the Rezound for $219...

then again, since i had to pay sales tax off the original $799 price & the Nexus' retail is cheaper.. i may not have to pay anything. wee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Robots. Pshaw. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
I dropped in at my local Verizon store at lunch. They still had them in stock, but the sales rep said he had sold several today. I exchanged my Rezound for the Nexus and happily paid the $35 exchange fee. It was worth it. The sales rep had a Droid Razr and said he wished he was still within his exhange period so that he could do the same. Love this phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Errant33:
I had no wait and at twelve o'clock mid day was only the second person to buy it....nobody in the store even knew what it was.......they were all there for the Iphone 4s those who were in the store :(.

I did convince a Iphone guy to buy a Nexus instead tho!

Woot to getting my Nexus for only 110$...Upgrade+ Loyalty+18% discount+50$ upgrade coupon......AWESOME!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awfulrofl:
picked up mine at around 9:05 AM this morning. I was the second one in the store, as they opened early, (stored supposed to open at 10), but i was just sitting in my car hanging out in case people started showing up to line up. No line at my store, just a couple people after me drifted in. I've been sitting at work playing with the phone all morning, its beautiful! Picked up the extended battery with it also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
bought mine online. website was a bit laggy. however I had no problems ordering. the whole thing took about 5 mins. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Didn't really wait in line,but ended up waiting about an hour to successfully swap sims. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
Yeah seems to me they still don't have the upgrade process for 4G phones with the SIM cards down pat yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus taking a micro SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valorale:
Arrived @ verizon store in pentagon city mall @ 8am .. because thats when they open right??

Wrong apparently it opens 8am every day but thursday. .. on Thursday it opens at 9.

So I decide I am going to come back at lunch.

Go back at lunch .. wait 30 minutes to speak to a rep .. find out phone is sold out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Damn. Tactical Error...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
No waiting line for me at all at noon even. In and out in 15 or 20 minutes. I got this thing for 149.00!!! With a case and screen protectors and no activation fee. They are apparently having a accessories contest and the guy just gave me extras free. lol So far so good with the phone. Screen isn't nearly as vibrant as my SII but still fine and such a better signal than Sprint. Amazing difference. G'bye Sprint!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The best part in this post.

Goodbye Sprint lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
You got that right! How are you liking yours so far? I miss the vibrant screen still but screw a bunch of Sprint. Trying to figure out how to turn all the animations off. Haven't found it yet. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdunn1066:
No line at my local vzw store when i went there at about 1pm but the rep i was speaking to told me they only had about 4 left out of a shipment of 40. I was prepared to pay full retail for the phone because i dont have an upgrade until feb 2013, and when the guy scanned it he immediately got a weird look on his face, he called over the manager and the manager looked over the computer for a minute and then he looks at me and says" Well, apparently the computer wants to give it to you for the 2 year contract price and not 650. Merry Christmas!"

Needless to say, i was very pleased and i couldnt get out of that store fast enough because i was so worried that the computer was going to correct itself or something. heh... Thats luck for you... too bad that luck never works with the lotto.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
Got to the VZ store at 10:05am, the store opened at 10am so I missed waiting in line outside. I was 9th in the queue. Store was nicely crowded by the time my name was called.

I was surprised hardly no one was playing with the demo phone on the floor. I guess everyone was convinced they're getting a Nexus and didn't need to see a demo, gimmie my phone already!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Welcome my Verizon brothers! Glad that now we all have our unicorns!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
Went into the store at first just to look at the device. I wanted to be 100% sure it was what I upgraded to.

Of course I did. Well, I waited about 30 minutes for a manager to run to another nearby store and grab a few more Galaxy Nexus's since the store I was at had sold out. He opened the box, put the sim card in, took another 5 minutes to put the back onto the phone (which apparently seems much harder than it looks), put the phone in the otterbox I got, and low and behold, he forgot to 'lock' the sim card in correctly. So....he had to take the otterbox all apart again, opened the back and locked in the sim card and put it all back together again. Well, we went through the whole process, etc....and I went home. I looked at my data plan and suddenly it was showing up as 4 GB of data instead of the unlimited I had previously. Well, this didn't suit me in the least, went back to the store and basically the sales guy explained that he had forgotten to make it unlimited instead of the promotional 4gb of data (apparently it defaults to whatever the promotion is currently....really kinda stupid). So I had to call up a Verizon sales rep and this actually only took 2 seconds, explained to the rep what happened and he changed it. So I'm back to what it should be!

All in all, I'm quite happy with the situation! And on top of that, I wasn't available for a discounted upgrade, but I still got a corporate discount due to the company I work for, so I only ended up paying $250 for the phone instead of $300. I'm damn happy at this point!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroSX:
No waiting today, walked in around lunch time, walked out with a new G-N. Shop said they've been selling bunches, both upgrades and full price. Rep wanted one for himself, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Dude I love the phone and love the service. I just watched my first YouTube video on 3g since 2010 lol. Ics is slick as hell and I get awesome data speeds everywhere I go. I really couldn't ask for more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadstone30:
i live in nyc but i'm in meetings in downtown pittsburgh all week this week. there's a verizon store two blocks from my hotel. they opened at 8 this morning. i was there at 7. i was by myself until 7:30. by the time they opened the doors at 8 there were 10 people in line. they had 20 nexuses. don't know how long they lasted. i was out of there at 8:30 and in a meeting by 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well I just got mine a few minutes ago. Got a sweet story.

I returned my rezound and he kept running into error codes trying to swap for the nexus. He kept trying and trying but always ended in an error code. He pulled in several people who couldn't figure it out and finally a manager who over rode the system. The whole process took about an hour.

Then he bagged up my extended battery and screen protectors along with the phone and receipts. I asked if I was done and he said yea.

When I got home and I looked at the receipt and no where are charges for the extended battery or screen protectors.

Freebies! I can't even tell the difference with the extended battery. The back plate is only slightly different.

Phone is awesome otherwise. I'm finding it very comfortable and typing seems easier compared to the Rezound (I kept getting double letters?)

Lovin' ICS. Weird how different it is. Not used to the side power button though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelkahl:
I called my Verizon Corporate store last night to set my appointment.

10am: I'm at work waiting on a contractor to show up at 10:30am.

10:30am: Still no contractor

11am: Still no contracotr, I call his manager since I'm out at noon.

11:15am: Contractor shows up.

12:10: I roll out to my local store

12:30: I arrive and learn that 30 people were lined up outside the door at 10am and that only 7 out of 50 were still available!

2:30: I walk out of the store with my discounted Nexus...I posted that story in another thread lol.

Not really my "line story" but it's as close as I got. Literally, when I showed up I walked in and up to the counter. Sales reps were simply standing around talking. A handful of customers were in store with about 10 sales 4 support staff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fillyo:
I was first there at 8:20, first one there. By the time they opened, I left about 9:25, there were about 5 people there all buying GNs and more coming in. They forgot my actual receipt. Went back at 5:30, bunch of people there buying GNs. I asked, she said they have been selling them all day. I am somewhat surprised being there was basically no launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelkahl:
I had to deal with error codes when trying to swap my Rezound for a Nexus too. Must be a conspiracy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FoxRacR17:
My wait in line was pretty uneventful. The interesting part was after I got the phone, had it for 5 minutes, went up to the cute girl checking people in (that got there AFTER I had already checked in of course :l ) and said "do you think you could help me with something?" As I show her my phone and she says "yeah what do you need?" To which I replied "can you show me where to find your # in my phone?" She laughed and gave me her number =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enndr:
No line for me tonight. Called my Verizon Business Liaison at the local store and had her hold two for me. Got there at 6:00 after working all day and they were the only two left. :D

My wife and I love the phones. I'll also never go without LTE ever again. Its almost as fast as my FiOS internet connection. (See sig) :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mynameisfyl:
There were only 4 of us there, two of the other guys picked up the white Razr. Had the phone and the extended battery up in running in about 15 minutes. Took almost half an hour to get it locked into a solid 3G signal though...stupid coast.

Love this thing so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twizted_dreams1:
First off im from WI. I hit up the Appleton Vzw store i was in and out in about 20min.

I did have to deal with a few sales associates trying to down sell me to either a Razr or Rezound even after the fact i told them i had rented the Rezound.

Dissapointed in the consistent push to sell the Razr or Rezound over the Sgn...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuelwatts:
I live in southern Mississippi. I showed up at about 4:30 this afternoon and they still had all 3 gnex's they had received in there shipment lol. Can't believe thats all they ordered but of course these rednecks around here still have Nokia bricks and Sanyo flip phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CongBroChill17:
Buddy of mine actually took a half day from work and was out front of the store at 8:50 waiting for a 10 opening. I had decided last week after the 9th fiasco to just take off the 15th and put the release of the Nexus in the hands of God. I over slept so missed the mall opening at 9 and so went to chill with him. There ended up being only 5 people there, no line, just a bunch of nerds finally getting their phone. I told them not to worry if there were only 4 because I was there for the white Razr.

An older woman sat in her car right in front of the store, presumably too afraid to brave the line with the rabble of hooligans. I overheard her conversation with the rep while waiting for my Nexus, she had an iPhone on hold.

Rep also dropped my phone putting the SIM in, it was a 3 inch drop so I didn't say anything. As I was leaving more and more people were coming in asking for our phone, not sure how many the store had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phantomevo77:
Weird. It was the same for me too... all kinds of trouble getting my Nexus to activate at Best Buy (where I work) it was weird. But in love now! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro530:
I picked mine up on the verizon website last night since it was only $199 and it said I was eligible for a discount after only 13 months. :D

I did go to the store yesterday though, just so I could hold it in my hand. The girl behind the counter said they had about 10 people waiting when they opened and they were slammed for the first 2 hours.

Mine should be arriving today, can't wait for some sweet Ice Cream sandwich.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Truballa4real7:
I actually got the phone at my job :) there was no line but had many people looking for the phone as I was ringing mine up!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] planetes42:
Move North!

Glad to see fellow Mississippians getting in on the Nexus action. The store in Vicksburg only had 4 yesterday. I got there 15 minutes before opening and a girl was already inside activating hers. When I said I was there for a Nexus the manager let me in right away too. Another guy walked in for the remaining two as I was leaving.

Extra Bonus: the girl was a vet and may have a kitten for my wife & I to adopt! So, new Nexus & new furball, woo!

Helicopter shooter. Im looking for any suggestion about what i can implement in game

Here is little preview of what is done now. Give me info what you wanna see next

it look like a really good game

i just remembered desert strike

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2eYWZcHbcc

is was a good game try to take some hints from it

good luck
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] williammel:
looks like a cool game. In my opinion, people care about the graphics a lot for the initial download. So spend some money and get a designer to make a very nice icon, and some nice textures for inside your game. Will do wonders for your overall downloads / money.

ofcourse im suggested by desert strike :)

Big Games For WP7

Why not try to develop Big Games Like Dungeon Hunter 2,Ethernal Legacy,Green Farm,etc. for WP7.WP7 is not capable of running such big games?Then I think i made a big mistake for buying WP7 phone.Even for old Android OS can play big games and new WP7 OS can't play big games it is a sad story of WP7.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
