Cany anyone confirm if Costco will be selling the Nexus on the 15th also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leebsammy:
voxigenboy jesus christ every post you make is morbid. makes me want to cut my wrists. literally every post you've made today. go get your nut or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
since VZW just now finally confirmed the date, it may take awhile before word spreads out to all the retailers. i'd say call costco and verify.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
This launch is going to be huge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BFirebird101:
I just came
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
Just called the Verizon store by my house and the store manager answered. She laughed and did confirm the launch and has one set aside for me. She mentioned that ever since the announcement was made official earlier, she'd gotten quite a few ppl calling in to reserve theirs.

Woohoo! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
My whack Verizon store won't let me reserve one. I'll be there in the morning though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sglasgowaz:
Lucky that you can reserve one. I've tried multiple times, but they always say they can't. Even asked if I could pay for it over the phone but no go. Stores near me all said they've gotten a lot of calls since the announcement. Told them they will get even more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Probably because of low stock? Some reports were that some stores are only getting 5 - 10 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
I had to set up an appointment. I'm scheduled to be there when they open at 9:00am. I'm switching from T-Mo and can't wait for the improved coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
They said they had plenty stock to last at least until noon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sglasgowaz:
I thought so as well and asked him specifically if they only had ten. He said no, they had "a lot more", but couldn't tell me how many they had.

Normally I wouldn't care and just order online, but for the first time ever, I broke my phone over a month ago so I don't really want to wait for shipment next week....unless overnight shipment would actually arrive on Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Huh that's weird. Well it seems like an arbitrary restriction to put on it. Well I'm sure you'll both be there bright and early and get it either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I called verifying that the one that was on hold for me last week still is & also asked about price matching CostCo. the guy told me they're most likely going to be selling it for $249

- Best Buy Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rainman353:
My store still won't admit it's being released tomorrow, said they would have it when it is released, and that they would not hold or set up appointments. I have to work so may just order online tonight and have it shipped priority.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
when is the verizon site going to have the pre-order up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
That's one thing I don't understand and it frustrates me. Why would they only have so few of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zenoran:
supposedly 1am?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
hmmm. delivery on friday or sat?

any promos to go with this? does that $100 off ppl were getting applies here? if so how does one get a piece of that pie?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Weezal657:
This is the only deal I have seen so far. Other then the people that got the $100 off stuff in the mail.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Codeblew:
Thinking about picking one of these up tomorrow. Does anybody know if Verizon is going to pack this thing with bloatware or would that be pointless since the updates come from google directly?

Also I have been on ATT for almost a decade now. Anything special I need to know when switching other than having them port my number over? I am also eligible for a company discount. Do I need to bring any special proof other than work ID?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
Twitter didn't crash for the Iphone 4s release.... just saying..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I flush my toilet and Twitter crashes lol.

This doesn't mean anything :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
Bring your ID....and corp id

'

Corp discount is usually just on accessories and certain plans, not the phones.

They can add the discount right away, at least in my experience. ATT tried to play the 2 months before corp discount with me in the past.... after the third month I told them to die or discount since day one.

Once you port, ATT should close your account and send a final bill. I did that once and my etf was say $150 and account up to date.... they sent me a $780 bill. Always good to call back to ATT and spend several hours over several days to get them to do what they should have done in the first place!

I for one will be letting all of you beta test for me. Any modern Samsung phone has issues, I went through 3 replacements of a Droid Charge before they swapped me to another phone. EVERY single Charge in the office has the infamous popping and cracking on calls, this is also with other modern Samsung phones on other carriers, just google deep and you'll find a ton of issues.

I hope to see a lot of happy people here on xda and other forums tomorrow though :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are 2 VZW apps. Tethering is blocked. Updates come from Google, but they do have to pass through Verizon's certification because they have to test on their network.

As long as you're out of contract with AT&T (or ending a contract and paying ETF) then they'll be able to port your number no problem (if you're in contract then porting your number breaks your AT&T contract in most cases). May take up to a day to fully set in. As far as company discounts, I don't know precisely how VZW does it, but when I was on Sprint they were pretty lax on applying the discount. Surely work ID will suffice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Codeblew:
Okay, thanks for the info. I have been off contract for a while so that should not be an issue. I will take a pay stub just to be sure. I probably have one in my laptop bag anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I switched from T-Mobile two days ago, the only thing they are going to ask you is your ATT account number and your PIN (which is not that important because I gave the wrong one and it worked anyways). It took 3 minutes for my number to port over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
If you have a badge, they used to have to scan it in a vzw corp store. Well that was years ago, and the guy actually put it under some scanner thing.... maybe I wasn't paying attention, could have been the bar code scanner.

did you hit up your corp link and put your email in on the vzw linked page? That might help, and it's what we have on our intranet now.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Good point. Bring an ATT bill for the porting part of everything... otherwise without IIRC the account number you can't port your number! Good call sstang!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus - $155/$175 LetsTalk.com

Starting at Midnight

www.letstalk. com will have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon for $155 (New lines of service) or $175 (upgrade).

Use coupon: $75VZN to get this price.

as always, read the terms and conditions before buying wireless from a 3rd party reseller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
1. If you ever have a problem you will have to go through them, not the instant VZW next day replacement.

2. As said on the link, read the fine print, you might need a certain plan on the medium to high end on data/voice.

3. If you change your plan, they might have the right to bill you the difference on the hardware/phone.

4. Again, read ALL of the fine print.

There is a reason why they offer so cheap. Helluva price though :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Reminds me of Wirefly. Even if you follow the rules they can go bankrupt and you lose any savings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
just checked them out > http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Let_s_Talk

pretty good rating if you ask me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
Rating has nothing to do with fine print (contract with them in addition to VZW). I have no need to look it up but someone should and post it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rant:
Not true. I've purchased phones through several 3rd parties and Verizon always handles the software and hardware support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
There is a reason why they offer so cheap. Helluva price though :D:D[/QUOTE]

yes, just look at each thread here the phone has a lot of issues :rolleyes: they'll be giving them away by xmas time for a cent LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
Interesting. I've heard otherwise through a ton of other people. I'll have to call VZW on this one tomorrow! Thanks for the heads up!

Actually I've heard "no replacements" from many people that have bought through 3rd party vz stores, all from tier 2 tech support at VZW. We need to prove this ASAP since the real galaxy nexus is releasing tomorrow and there are great deals out there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
weird.. that letstalk deal is already gone. says "sorry, this product is no longer available."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
these are all almost 100% false for 3rd party retailers. I spend more time daily explaining to customers that these things are not true, because people say this on forums and commission cor sales people say this to avoid losing a sale.

all 4 points you mentioned are 100% false for the retailer In which I manage a store for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
See anecdote above your post but before where you quoted me. Again, a good heads up, but not reality in my office/realm, but nobody has had to go through this for a while. Perhaps VZW support has changed over the last 6-8 months or so? That's a good thing if so!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Arguably the worse Nexus launch ever. Shame on Verizon, shame on Google.

Hope next year will be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Probably hasn't gone live yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prjkthack:
Most third parties do not handle much in the way of hardware or software support. They will usually refer you to Verizon.

The only thing third parties handle is the replacement/return of the handset. If you need to get a replacement device, or swap out for something else, you need to return it to whatever retailer you purchased it from. Obviously from an online retailer, you won't get a replacement phone back the same day, but other third parties like Walmart or RadioShack will certainly get you a same-day replacement as long as the phone is in stock.

Course with some retailers there is always fine print, but usually its no different than buying from Verizon itself. You just get the benefit of a better price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
w00t

I just ordered mine through verizon's site.

299 - 50 upgrade = 249 + $20 tax +13 shipping = 284ish :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
$199 through Amazon Wireless (Verizon), but 2 day shipping.

$249 for those who upgrade.

http://goo.gl/hk3lN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
Just ordered mine on vzw.com. $269.99 through my company discount.

I likes!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
no tax ? daaaaaaaaang :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dunnse:
Just ordered mine on vzw's site.... overnight delivery... SWEET!!! Currently have the bionic. Switched my wife's upgrade eligibility to my line for the discounted price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OctoPI:
Yes, I forgot to mention the obligatory tax on it. :-(

But I was happy to see a discount on the phone, not just on the monthly bill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
They require a photo-ID if your discount isn't already on a Verizon account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
how much was the tax in texas?

Also, whereform can we buy the non verizon car dock... the one that has a built in charger, and not a hole for a micro USB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davisbs999:
Me too. Do you think that we will actually get our phones on Friday?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TPR300C:
If you had a VZW store by you it would of been better to go get it tomorrow. Now you'll have to wait til Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yumunum:
Sweet, it's my birthday tomorrow. Good timing, Verizon! Now I get to play with it and decide if I want to ship one in to the US to use on AT&T :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RonnieRuff:
Just got mine from Amazon at 199.00 free shipping = 199.00 coolarama.

Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcismo55:
Just so you guys know....Amazon ships via USPS now so it will take a good 4-5 days for you to receive your order.

For those upgrading a line, I think paying the extra $50 of taxes is worth paying to have it in your hands by purchasing at a Corp store. That's just me though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rootwind:
Is anyone seeing an estimated delivery date of 12-29 on Amazon Wireless (with 2-day shipping)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
For those of us that are working and have other obligations, we have no time to go to the store and wait....

Also all the stores my co-worker called said that the stores are not taking reservations, and expect lines

you were upgrading ... welcome to a better reception
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RonnieRuff:
Not true but who cares at 100.00 less. 2 day shipping

Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RonnieRuff:
Cuz they do not have them yet

Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RonnieRuff:
Not upgrading at all. That's just the price

Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....

Samsung Galaxy Success!

Went to the North Myrtle Beach Verizon store at 8:30, no line. Had one set aside! No lines, not one other person came in while I was there. Activation was pretty easy, google setup was clean. I did make the mistake of not trying any calls or data while in the store. After I left, I realized that my data was not functioning. I powered off and back on. Immediately got an android update. I let that run, still no data. Waited about 10 min while I finished the drive back to house. Still no data, so I powered off and back on again. 4G finally appeared for a second, then yet another Android update. After this one happened, 4G popped up and all was good. :D Just be aware there are apparently a couple updates that may need to happen before you are really live.

Loving it so far, camera is unbelievably fast...Also got the extended battery and door...ironically, extended battery is the same size so no issues with case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Nice. Verizon doesn't have 4G at myrtle beach do they? I know they do in charleston (i was just there this weekend)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
Trying to install the Cynogen ICS ROM, and when installing the .zip, it loads the Samsung flash screen with Cynogen, then get the green guy and loads of text for about half a second, then it just reboots. Over and over for about 10 mins. WHat went wrong? What should I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap7e:
It happend the same to me.

I just removed the battery and put it back, entered in CWM and reinstalled the ROM.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
I somehow got into a recovery mode, but with the assumption it would all go wrong again, tried to install the .zip Darky rom instead, went through the process and said it worked but then it just went back to the Cynogen loop problem!? I just tried a Restore instead, but I haven't rebooted yet, should I wipe everything again, and try the ICM .zip again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap7e:
Yep, just go with the whipe. I hope you did a backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
OK turns out the Restore failed, so now trying to reinstall ICS .zip again. fingers crossed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
yep backed it up, not that its seems to have helped.

Well now it's stuck in the Galaxy S bootscreen...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap7e:
that really sucks....did you deactivated the lagfix before running the rom?

If the problem persists you have to run a basic ROM using ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
Yes deactivated the lagfixI can't get into recovery or anything now, except download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap7e:
Download mode is all you need to run a ROM with Odin.

I recommend Amestris, it is a good ROM, good battery life but the thread in not complete, there are some files missing...for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
I've put some older ROM on I had, then tried to install ICS again but now when I use Clockwork, and select the file it goes to recovery but I can't select any zip files, just reboot back to this awful old ROM!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
I had same issue when I installed ics, what I did that worked was pull battery and go back into cwm, reflashed ics zip and it fully installed that time. Had same experience when flashing cm7 before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarky78:
Not getting anywhere with this. I get an option to install zip from sdcard which is where the update is (an where the darky update also is which worked), but there is an option to update from internal SD, which is not where the file is. Is it in the wrong place?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gembino:
I think you would be best to use Odin 1.3 to flash DarkyROM Ficeto JVT base rom.

are you sure those files are still on your sd card?

The reason you need to pull the battery and reflash the ICS rom a few times is because Samsung ROM (most) have a different partition layout to CM7 based roms (which the ICS port is one).

[LG Revolution] skenney1993:
Are there any data dropping issues associated with the Revolution? I have the Charge and it drops data like crazy. VZW's solution is to give me a Revolution so I'm wondering if I will experience data problems with the Revolution.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Only problem I have heard of Was while using juice defender
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Only issues is with jd like Beamer said or when they have outages from what I've seen.

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Never used JD on this phone but I have had outages when the network goes down and that's it.
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
No issues for me
[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
This phone has a good radio especially now with the Gingerbread update. Verizon has had a few 4G outtages so not always the phone's fault.

I would try to get some other phone though even if it would cost you more. Ex. Galaxy Nexus tomorrow :)
[LG Revolution] skenney1993:
Thanks for the replies. I offered to pay for the rezound since they couldnt give it to me as a free waranty replacement but tech support said no. I will see how the revolution holds up data wise and go from there.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Root it, gingervolt it, and choose an awesome theme! Just enjoy the phone!

[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
great a1Pha !

but i would like ubuntu and ICE.. (lol)
[Gen9 Android Development] a1Pha:
This can be made. I'll have to check the initramfs tomorrow :)
[Gen9 Android Development] a1Pha:
Upload done, post edited - have fun @ testing :)
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
thx , i testing that this morning
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
wow. I was going to get working on this when my tablet arrives but you beat me to the race.. maybe we can work on it together in the future
[Gen9 Android Development] 142857:
Could you post some screenshots of ubuntu on g9?
[Gen9 Android Development] twinnaz:
dual boot

how would you go about dual bopoting i want to get into the whole programming of it just need a pointer to the start of things
[Gen9 Android Development] a1Pha:
For sure - just contact me when your tablet has arrived :)

Okay, I have edited the first post and added some links to screenshots.

Sorry, I don't understand your question :S
[Gen9 Android Development] twinnaz:
how would i implement a dualboot
[Gen9 Android Development] a1Pha:
You can take the initramfs.cpio.gz posted by letama in another thread (look at the link to Ice Cream Sandwich - the file is inside the archive you download).

Then extract it and have look at the scripts, which are provided there.

Basically you have to get the system to ask you, from which filesystem image you want to boot :)
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
yep! you need to install SDE, restart your device, go in the developer menu and flash the initramfs.cpio.gz that letama posted in the ICS post, atleast that's how it was in the Gen8... by the looks of it the SDE menu is the same. Hope I helped :)
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
i wait the multi OS install

2.3

4.0

Ubuntu
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Nice, I'll give this a go now.

Edit:

Works on the 101G9.

Keyboard Functions through OTG/Host Cable.

USB Mass Storage (Pen Drive) Functions on 3G Stick Port

Not tried anything else yet.

Are you using a lot of the same kernel objects which android is using?

Excellent Work.
[Gen9 Android Development] twinnaz:
alright thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] a1Pha:
Thank you very much, and also thanks for testing :)

I am using initramfs + kernel + modules provided by letama for his ICS-build.

By the way - I will upload a new build this night.

I have managed to get basic network functionality via adb + usbcable, so I have upgraded all packages and installed a touchscreen keyboard.

In the new build the LCD backlight brightness is now set to max on boot.

I also have added a user with sudo-permissions, so now settings are saved on reboot (not like in 0.1 where guest sessions were created).

Oh, and I will change the filesystem type from ext3 to ext4.

Still no real progress on WiFi or sound :(

P.S.: New build will support choosing between booting ICS and Ubuntu :)

//edit: sry guys, got some problems with my internet provider. i get reconnects every 30 seconds. i hope they get it fixed till tomorrow... sorry for delay, i'm going to upload the stuff tomorrow.. :(
