[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caramelpolice:
I tried Face Unlock on some ICS ROMs and it seemed pretty flimsy. I'm betting the camera resolution and poor low-light quality caused Google not to support it on the Nexus S.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
It is present in Kiwiboo's ROM as with any other ported ICS ROM. However, it doesn't mean it was good.

I tried it on that ROM and it unlock my phone 1/10 times. Not even worth it. Probably due to the low resolution hardware of the front facing camera and perhaps processing speed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logomotph:
I tried installing the face unlock apk from CM9, but it FCd when I tried to set it up. I bet someone's gonna make one that works sooner or later.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care about it. Didn't work well on any of the ICS roms I tried.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariusbutuc:
I thought from the start that the Face Unlock feature would be quite nifty, and didn't think much about the vulnerabilities it might have. So I have to admit: I was quite disappointed for not having it after manually upgrading to ICS 4.0.3.

But then I saw:

so it got me curious.

After a bit of research, I saw the "Ice Cream Sandwich Face Unlock feature compromised" video on youtube by soyacincautv. Being able to fool the Face Unlock feature with just a photo makes it quite vulnerable in my eyes.

While it seems to me to be a gimmick, Face Unlock is a cool gimmick nevertheless, and I'm sure it will be used by the casual users who value convenience more than security, as it can be used as an automatic unlock.

Based on the title and photo that looks like the Verizon version. So it does not have the gold pogo pins. It's a big piece of plastic with holes cut out so you can plug your individual cables into the phone (power/AUX).

If that's what you are looking for then go to town, otherwise you might be disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rafoolik:
what?!!!!! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rafoolik:
But how do you know? it says its compatible with all models and he doesnt give any hint that the pogo pins are missing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
The Verizon one is confirmed to not have the pogo pins. Also look at the pics on the ebay listing. On the base of the mount there should be two connectors one for power and one for the audio but there isn't anything there.

Watch this video for reference: http://youtu.be/2w7TgFmP74I?hd=1

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownPleasures:
No, its not available here yet and may never be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr_Beefy:
I'm having a hard time believing that they would manufacture the phone with the contacts on the side and then not release any accessories that use them. Maybe Google will sell them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThugEsquire:
Stranger things have happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
They better!

I would hope they release one here in the states. I have heard conflicting stories on whether or not the charging GSM version will accomodate the LTE GNex. Any one know for sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dlaciv12:
My Nexus One accessories took weeks to months before they were available. I guess they want to give 3rd party manufacturers a chance to sell their knock offs.

The Ebay description does say, "The Vehicle Navigation Mount automatically puts your Galaxy Nexus handset in Vehicle Mode when docked." It might be legit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Vehicle mode only means that it will activate the car dock screen, or at least that is what it has done on my other phones. This doesn't really mean that it will have the charging pins though. After reading the description of the dock on Ebay I came to the conclusion it is like the current Verizon model and does not charge or have audio hook ups. It says something to the effect of "has cut-outs in the plastic so you can still plug in your USB cable to charge the device". I have no doubt that it is legit, it's just not the legit charging/audio dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snorkumler:
Legit or not legit, the GSM car dock with the 3-pin connector isn't available as of yet. The few websites that have offered them show a pre-order status so there is no way to check for sure.

The Official US Samsung Car Dock (i525) part number is:

ECS-K1F8BEGSTA

The (Supposedly)Official UK Samsung Car Dock (i9250) part number is:

ECS-K1F2BEGSTD

Correct the Galaxy Nexus does not have car home. But interestingly enough my Nexus S got the Google update to ICS 4.0.3 and it does have car home on it.

the verizon phone does have the 3 pins.. also.. does this mount use those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaulBack:
Is this what we are looking for?

I did a google search for the Official US Car Dock model number and came up with this. From the specs is looks like it has the charger and 3.5 mm jack in the mount.

The description is definitely promising but the gallery pictures are so bad. Can't see on the right side of the mount. Grrrr
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaulBack:
That's what I thought, too. I almost bought it but then I looked closer at the images. It looks exactly like what Verizon is selling. I'm tempted to buy it, and if it doesn't have the 3-pin connector send it back.

Edit: Just clicked "Shop":

Dang this is on back order anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanPonjican:
Does anyone have any updates on this? Would the UK version work with the Verizon version? Or better yet, a release date for a US version of the 3 pin dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaywill75:
There's a good thread here about this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396051

Unfortunately, there is still no decisive consensus on whether the GSM 3-pin version will work for the LTE phones. It looks like they may be available at the end of January, so we'll have to wait to see if they're compatible or not ... if they actually become available.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Ok so is there a way to turn the LTE off and just the h+ seems I'm in a spot that LTE is in and out and when its got the LTE its only one bar and its slower with one bar than the h+ or maybe because its switching back and forth so I'd like to turn it off if possible but I can't figure out how

And also my E, 4g , 4glte icons are only white but on my artix 2 they go from white to blue and its really slow when its white but does great when blue could that be an issue with the vivid ?

Or does the vivids icon only stay white ?

I have already search in xda-forum but I didn't resolved my problem :(

My Galaxy S GT-i9000 has a problem with mobile network signal

when I flash a new rom, it work for 2-3 days normally.

after that, it lost the mobile network 1 time per day.

and 4-5 day later, the signal lost 3-4 times per day :(

When signal lost, it shows symbol "stat_sys_signal_null.png" on status bar. I can't enable/disable flight mode. If I restart the phone, the signal will be restore.

is a software problem or hardware problem :confused:

Help me, please!!!!

thank you so much!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sturgelose:
Maybe its because the modem, when you flash a new ROM you usally also change the modem that controls the network connection (WIFI and 3G). Try to search in General section the post with the modems/radio and flash them through CWM (i can't advice you an specific one, it depends of the country and the place which one goes better...)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiDanRO:
I never faced such a problem, so I'm just guessing now. Can you try to flash a new ROM with an CSC coresponding for your country and mobile operator? You did not write from witch country you are and what CSC you have.

Why CSC file? because this file contains specific configurations for each mobile operator from each country (not just APN settings).

And another lead for solutioning your problem: did this problem start happend after unloking the phone or editing nv_data.bin file? Because the nv_data.bin contains some calibration data for your phone and you cant just editig or replacing this file.

[LG Optimus Black] sensei22:
Hi OB users, I have been very tempted to buy this phone but I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me answer and decide whether or not it is a good decision to go ahead and buy it.

1.-I've heard battery life sucks, is this true? will it improve significantly if GB is ever released by LG (or maybe ICS will be the immediate update instead)?

2.-LG announced ICS will be released for OB, but I have also seen that LG has let down users many times with upgrades (e.g. GB), so do you still trust LG for keeping your HW up to date in terms of SW?

3.-If you could chose, would you chose again the OB or you would pass?

4.-Have you found HW limitations that have a direct impact over Android performance(amount of RAM, being only single core where the trend is to go dual or even quad)?

5.-Any last thoughts you could give me about your experience with this phone

Thanks in advance to everyone who took the time of reading my post, hopefully you can help me make the best decision.
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Answers :

1 - battery life is normal, as any other 4" 1500mah phone, no better,no worse.

2 - Yes i trust about the release, but not the release "date".

3 - For single core, i will choose OB, my next pass is Galaxy Note at moment (:D), may be different when i actually changing from OB to any other device; but will wait for 3-4 months, OB meets all my need so far.

4 - 1080p video gives jerks, but 720p video runs very smoothly on OB. Haven't experienced much h/w limitations so far. [ i mean look at market, mobiles like Galaxy Y, Ace; Optimus One/Net; Defy etc occupy more than 70% of android phones, so a single core 1ghz 512mb RAM is not bad at all.. ]

5 - Display brightness and colour contrast is by far the best in whole era of smartphones, except LG PRADA 3 releasing this christmas.
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
It is a good option, as you may know is not the best out there, but it is a good one.

Everyone knows that smartphones are hungryphones, so it's almost the same issue to all devices. I do moderate use of it [2~3 hours calling, 2~3 hours music/gaming, about 1hour of wifi] daily and charge it every 2 days, so it's fine for me.

At the moment there is no single game that I tested and fail. Asphalt HD 6, PES 12, Fieldunners HD, GunBros [and playing online], Minigore, World of Goo, AngryBirds [all of them] and so on...

Display is a higher pro, 12pm at summer and sunniest day of the year still clearly see that display.

I'm not and android knower or anything, but in my opinion the only thing bad is SW updates or should I say no updates at all, but hey we have cm7 in good shape now and getting better
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
1. For me I find that the battery life of my OB can be quite erratic. Meaning sometimes it could last for 2days without charging, and sometimes the battery will just be depleted overnight (which is quite scary if you're using it as an alarm)

^Without me installing any new apps.

2. They promised, so they would have to get ICS out by hook or by crook or it will be very very bad publicity.

3&4. This I'm not too sure about myself. What I look for in a phone is it being slim and light, and a good camera. The OB is one of the thinnest phones at an affordable price. Maybe I would have gotten the Galaxy S2 or Droid Razr. So far I haven't seen it lag in heavy games like NOVA.

5. The screen is very good, colour accuracy is better than those AMOLED displays every other phone is using imo. the whites on the screen are realllllly white.
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
1.) Battery life definitely does not suck, it will last for 24 hours with Wi-Fi on, 3G off, 3-4 audio calls, 2 hour gaming, 3-4-5 browsing, Facebook, Messenger, Foursquare, Latitude open non stop, 30min-1h of navigation, 2-3 hours of music on the headphones, screen light on optimized (based on the light sensor ).

I know that some people wish that their Android's battery will last a week or so, but it's not 2001 anymore and these phones are not the 3310s anymore, so, IMHO, 24 hours is great, considering everything you're doing with it in that interval.

2.) Now that I've finally rooted it, I really don;t care. Yes, LG has been really delayed with the GB update, and that could possibly mean that it will delay the ICS release a lot, but that's what we have XDA for, right ?

3.) I would definitely choose the OB again. In my humble opinion it is the best price/performance ratio out there. Big screen, powerful single-core processor, enough ram to handle almost anything you throw @ it, the PowerVR GPU is a great video chipset, third best after MALI and Tegra on the market right now, all in all it's a great phone, and yes, there's always going to be a newer, better phone released, but for its price, the OB does it all.

4.)I kind of already answered that, I'll fill in additional details: There are almost no lags within the UI, the default LG Launcher is sometimes a bit laggy for half a second or so, but its just the launcher, not the phone. After replacing it with Launcher Pro for example, it performs beautifully. My Core i5 Desktop PC doesn't cycle through Windows that smooth :O The 720p playback is brilliant, no lag or other problems at all.

5.) Any last thoughts ? My personal conclusion after owning it and a SGSII for over 2 months now is this: it does 85-90% of what the SGSII does at almost half the price. Definitely a bargain !

Wish you luck with your new phone, regardless of what that will be.
