[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robotsforeveryone:
Some of you aren't really looking. It's there. Just make sure you select the right battery. The one compatible with the Nexus. The only problem is I couldn't bill to my account. I had to go into a Verizon store and have them do that. The rep even said the battery is on sale on the website. Unfortunately this store had none in stock. It'll be here next Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n0thingr3mains:
just jumped on this!

anyone know how much bulk this adds to the phone? im thinking i might need a different case now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihyln:
So did anyone who ordered yesterday have their order ship or check if their order shows up in the system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HoOnZ:
I'm late to this but I just ordered it for the awesome price of $25 with free 2 day shipping too. Excellent! :D Thanks OP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s004kcg:
It hardly adds any bulk,,,,, but you are right, my phone wont fit in the verizon kick stand shell holster correctly. Wait till you get the battery and try it, may still fit your case, the bulk it adds is very slight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
Is that the Otterbox Defender case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caforres:
I just ordered one $24.99 plus tax. Great deal, includes the battery cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dct3416:
Nope! I haven't received an email stating that it has shipped yet. The order status page shows an error when I put in my order number and name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bc760:
Just got home with mine, now just to continue my wait for my phone to arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElT0R0:
Just placed in order. Thanks OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdgoth:
I just checked the website and it is $39.99. I totally missed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Polymira:
You can get the deal in stores as well, picked up the battery in person today for $25. Adds basically no bulk!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Was just about to say this.. going right now to pick mine up in store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdgoth:
Yeah man! I got the deal! 50% off! I spoke to one of the VZW associate and he ordered me one. All extended batteries were sold out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneAn9ryN00b:
Mine shows up as shipped when logging in to check status, and that i can track it via FedEx, but under tracking numbers, there's nothing listed, i ordered right before the cut off time at about 4:25pm, and 4:30 was the cut off time if i wanted it next business day, but i haven't got an email yet saying its been shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaucasianAsian:
I just tried checking my order status but I get a "Page is jot currently available" error. :( Kind of worries me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smckdwn989:
i checked my status yesterday and it had already gone to shipped. also see a pending charge on my CC.

the site has issues now but rest assured these will ship/have shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s004kcg:
i was just responding to n0thingr3mains post, its his case and he never stated which one he has. I have the Verizon shell case, dont know the brand but its the one on their website, and it dosent fit correctly with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhinck1414:
I have the battery and am liking it. It adds such little on the back it still fits in my double case and tpu case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maahes:
Thanks for the link!

Had to log out of VZW and clear cookies to get it to add to cart without the corporate discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikejames07:
Thanks for the heads up guys! Just put in my order online..... I too had to clear the cookies in my browser to remove the corporate discount
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Got mine too! Excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
For those of you getting these in the store, were they already marked at $25 or did you have to show them the online price or anything? I'd like to pick this up in the store to use my living social $50 credit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kc_wired:
You should be able to just speak with any of the Verizon Wireless sales reps. I went to my local store and I had asked if the Extended Battery was in stock. Unfortunately it was not, but the sales rep offered to order it at 50% off promotion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
One odd thing I noticed was that when I was signed into my personal verizon account, the discount didn't apply, but when I signed out, then it did. FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowsersoulstar:
This is correct. For me, I called ahead and the rep already knew about the 50% promo. There were 2 in stock he had so he held one for me. Again, the corporate stores should know about this promo and should give it to you no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
No need to show online price they already have it marked 50% off you should have no hassle getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
Awesome. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smckdwn989:
ordered friday and mine arrived via fedex today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Just a heads up..

I purchased mine in store before the discount went live. I calle the *611 number and they credited my account for $25 to make up for the price difference. If you are in this same situation, you may need to call that number as my local VZW store said they couldn't do anything about a refund in the store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fillyo:
I ordered mine on Friday and was unable to check status also, called VZW and he was unsure of status also. I got home from work and it was delivered today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SimonTuffGuy:
Sweet deal! I wouldn't have ordered one at $50... But for half price? Won't hurt to have it around. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outbackpaul:
I hope you don't have the nightmare I did with my Living Social voucher. It's a 45 minute story. I only got $25 towards my voucher and hopefully a $25 credit on my first bill. We'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b00sted:
if u guys ordered this and have not got it yet may want to call.. I called this morning and was told "oops" we are out of stock sorry about that. we can let you know when it is back in and refund you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
yeah, I also chatted with a rep online. saw it yesterday, went back today and could not find it. rep said likely sold out. couldn't guarantee my vzw store would honor the discount. Gonna call soon and find out.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

UPDATE: called my local store, which had none in stock. asked about the price, and they said it was $49.99 - no discount. They told me another store which had it in stock, so I called them and asked about honoring the discount, and they said they were...

Went back in my browser history to the page that added the battery to my shopping cart, and it added the battery, but when I clicked on the item description from my cart, it took me to the extended battery page, but said it was sold out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
Holy sh!t that was a pain in the a$$. I was there well over an hour trying to by a battery, case and screen protectors.

The girl could only get it to ring up for $25 and it was causing the batter to charge at the regular price of 49.99. I would have ended up paying the exact same price as if I had no voucher at all. Then she asked a manager and said it was because the battery was on sale. I replied that that makes no sense. If the batter is on sale for $25 and I only get half the voucher it should cover it.

More typing more asking managers went on. I felt like I was buying a car but I had resolved myself that I was not leaving until I got my full $50 value out of the thing so I kept fighting. Finally, after well over an hour of arguing, I was able to get a different manger to do the trans action manually.

I ended up with the extended battery (25 reg 50), case (30), and screen protectors (13) for 19.06 out the door. Total value 98.88 with tax less the 19.06 and 25 spent on the LS deal left me with about 55 savings.

Couple side notes on the extended battery.

The original cover does fit with the extended battery in although it's tight.

The Shell/Holster Case will not fit with the original back or the one that comes with the new battery. However, The Shell/Holster Case will fit the phone with the extended battery if you leave the back cover off. It actually fits perfectly and completely covers the back so I went with that. If the case is on there why do you need another worthless piece of plastic sandwiched in there anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] driggity:
I wish I had thought of that. I have that case and didn't buy the extended battery because it didn't fit with the case. I'll have to see if I can find a local store that still has it in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mholl044:
Received mine today. It fits in the Empire two piece hard case I ordered for $5 off Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sm_x:
any1 know a good place where I can get it discounted. I drove to my verizon store and they were sold out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:
Picked one up in Jersey Mall
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
It's a Verizon deal so you have to go to a corporate Verizon store or buy it online. The link no longer takes you to the ext battery so I guess they sold out online. Best bet is to start calling stores until you find one with some left in stock. Verizon website has a store locator. I have no idea where you live but when I search a 25 mile radius here I see about 20 stores. Just go down the list until you find one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belair56:
Sure is DEAD, I had a chat with a rep online, she could not find it. :confused:

So I called the closest corporate store. They had "many" at the sale price.

Drove over and purchased. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprakes:
online chat with a representative, she told me this offer was no longer valid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InvalidUserID:
The deal is dead online, but still available in store.

Went to the local Verizon store, yesterday. The store employee wasn't even aware of the deal. He just told me it was $49. I asked him to do me a favor and just scan it. It rung up at the sale price which came to his surprise. Tried to purchase 2 (additional one for the wife), but it came to 37.50 each. He had to do two seperate transactions, one for each number. There were plenty left, just kept locked behind the counter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neonsector:
same here, when I bought mine online, they came to over 70 dollars, I had to make 2 diffident purchases to get them for 24.99 each plus shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LockinRobin:
Just to let everyone know, the deal is still live at the stores. They didn't have the battery in stock but are shipping it to me. Still $24.99 :)

At first they said it was going to ring up at $49.99 but I told them to scan it anyway and it came up at the sale price. So make sure you ask them to scan it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] driggity:
Looks like the battery and the deal are available online again. I just ordered one.

Edit: Just got an email from Verizon and the extended battery is out of stock. It looks like they'll ship it once it is in stock but we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
still live
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Out of stock. Is there a way I can bill this t my account verse paying right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlsolorio5746:
just ordered mine, hopfully will get it soon;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
I got mine from amazon for $30. A couple bucks more but at least I don't have to wait :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TNS201:
I got my extended battery and sometimes it seems to help quite a bit, if I don't use my phone heavy, like no playing games, I get about 6 hours use at 50%. I think work is hard on my signal, so its less there, but at home I get great life.

Also got a seidio active case and fits fine with extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombiehaven:
Great post. I was looking a little while ago and no luck. I actually chatted with a Verizon rep about it and they "played dumb". Just ordered. I am really happy that it has the nfc tech. built in. That's the only reason I didn't get the one from Seidio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
I just bought it off verizon for 27$ including tax so the offer is still there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cman813:
What's the difference between cm and among RA. Do i need to update my cm to among RA. Or i am ok.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You need CWM recovery to use rom manager. CWM 3.0+ doesn't allow you to flash amend scripted packages which a lot of people still use. Amon ra lets you backup particular partitions of your choice, and if you use the modified amon ra, you can also restore CWM backups and other features. Your choice really.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygu3:
Yep, I would recommend the latest modified version of amon ra. No troubles here :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cman813:
Ok so can install among RA with out installing cwm. How would i know if a rom is cwm or amon RA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cman813:
My bad unistall cwm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
Just downloaded the attached file to the root of your SD card, rename it to "PC36IMG", then boot into the bootloader by powering down, then powering back up, only this time holding the power button and the volume down button. It should recognize the file and install the recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
Installing another recovery will automatically overwrite the existing recovery.

Simply boot into your recovery partition and check. If you're on a stock ROM, download the app "Quick Boot". Once inside the app, simply tap "Recovery" and your Evo should boot into your recovery.

All the other custom ROMs I know of have a "reboot into recovery" feature. Simply long-press the power button, then select reboot. A dialogue box should appear; Tap "Recovery" and reboot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ckmcsk:
do anyone of you notice this bug...

1) when the phone is placed on table flat(with screen facing up), there is nothing wrong...

2) when the phone is place upside down (with screen facing down, when you have the phone on bed and over your head), then without having the stylus pen actual touches the screen, the screen senses it and leave a mark.

it even can activate any icon...

is this me only or general bug?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Funkym0nkey:
It effects all Notes. Its a known issue with this digitizer.

Basically touch is registered without pen actually touching the screen when you are using it laying on bed where screen is facing down. It registers from about 3-4 millimetres away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kebong:
I'm trying this right now as I post this and I can't seem to replicate the issue...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bus Driver:
I'm having this same issue..didn't realize that it only happens when it's faced down..well,hope there'll be a fix soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
Here is the list of the first wave of Bell smartphones which will get ICS update.

As you can see, update for Sensation is going to be released in February, and Sensation got a similar hardware as Evo 3D (Evo 3D has more RAM and 3D stuff).

So what do you think guys?
[HTC EVO 3D] krayziejoe:
Early March
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
I think its bs how these updates come out. Can't wait for less fragmentation, every phone needs to be like a nexus.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I don't think fragmentation will ever be less. Android being so open and OEMS like HTC, LG, Samsung and Motorola creating new software to bloat and drastically change the way android looks/feels...coupled with individual carrier bloat...it may get worse but not better. Sad
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Regardless of when, I want to see a single HTC device with Android 4.0 just so my expectations are set. Disappointment? Stocky goodness? We'll see.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I'm going to be honest, I'm starting to see less and less financial motivation for HTC to drop ICS on the 3D. If I were to throw a bet on it I think I would bet a very late release or none at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Pretty sure they have to.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
they have to since they signed up to be supporting the devices for 18months giving them updates during that time period at the least. Was announced at google's IO long ago.

And if Sprint Exec is right about no LTE phone till later 3rd qtr next yr, you'd think HTC would want to push ICS sooner than later to 3D's in order to keep selling them during the first half of the year next year. I am assuming that the LTE phone will in fact be an HTC device as it would only make sense to do such since they have always been the flagship device for sprint lately. Given that they would push their normal release of "super phones" from june/july like with evo's to late 3rd qtr to match the sprint exec's comments. This creates a larger gap for them to fill and one that they would likely fill by ICS on the 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I would like to be optimistic, and say Feb will be the month, but HTC will release 5 new phones, all with ICS, before they upgrade the first existing phone with an ICS rom. I say mid/late March. And my prediction is the unlocked GSM version will get the update first.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
Wrong prediction. Branded devices always have higher priority. Proof is any HTC phone. For example, Legend, a year ago 2.2 OTA was released for vodafone a week before it was released for not branded devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
HTC is pretty quick about updates... it will very likely be in march/april. no later. maybe earlier.

just waiting for it to drop, i will be patiently waiting for it to be thrown up on here by a dev, rooted, zipped, ready to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
If all phones were nexus android would be turned into iPhone, one choice one phone

Fragmentation is a fancy word people like to use to sound important, fraction is if your hardware is last generation then you won't get next Gen software upgrades ...economics really
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
It's funny that we consider 5-6 months "quick". Nexus S updates have started rolling out already while we have to wait halfway to the time that Google drops another version of android. I wish Sprint would get a Nexus before it was dated :-/
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Get a nexus s? Oh wait you wanted something different, different takes time people
[HTC EVO 3D] Nanan00:
"Quick" isn't 5 months from source drop. Half the devs on this board could cook a rom from source given drivers source in a day or two.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I mentioned I wanted a nexus before it was dated. Where did I say I wanted something "different"?

Sure it takes time...takes about half a year. Will we get an upgrade to Sense or will we get screwed like we did on the evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Though if they are re-doing Sense itself then you have to give them a lil longer.
[HTC EVO 3D] risc999:
Vote

I say March.
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Ideal future = All phones have AOSP-type ROMs OOTB; Pre-loaded "launcher" from manufacturers can easily be switched to and from.

Real future = Same as right now.

Anyway, I probably won't own the Evo 3D by the time ICS is ready for it; it's a shame but the truth.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Then enjoy what ever other carrier you are switching too as I can't see any other phone Sprint is getting b/w now and when ICS will be on the 3D worth a penny. Only thing worth waiting for is the next flagship phone which will likely be the LTE phones they release in 3rd qtr next yr.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Yeah, that's what I am waiting for. No point in an upgrade until then for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
what's wrong with all of you guys? Why are you switching your phones so fast?

Before E3D, I was using Legend for 1.5 years! And I switched to E3D because I broke my old phone, I think there is no sense to buy a new phone until your old one is stopped working. Yes, insufficient speed and resources is an important reason too, but what the hell? I bet $100 you couldn't find anything that will not work fast on 1.2gHz dual-core CPU, Adreno 220 and 1 gig of ram.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
Not true at all, just make sense a launcher app instead of having to revise it for ever new iteration of android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Exactly. Google started pulling its apps out of the OS to make updates cleaner, HTC should do it too. If people love Sense as they think, it will be there. If they don't, like me, it can be replaced/removed without breaking anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] cmyasika1:
So my question is. Why are our phones so far behind on getting something semi functional????
[HTC EVO 3D] ryanalan82:
Why not just be happy about CM9 when it drops. Everyone wants ics so bad without HTC messing with it, just wait less time an flash CM9. it would have more improvements than normal ics anyways.

Swyped from my eVo 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
And I can flash CM9 today without losing any functionality of my phone ? Just like CM7, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Yea uh.. by the time we get a cm9 that's a daily it will be close to the official release (maybe later). If we ever get a stable cm9 with things like 3d (which I seriously doubt) it will be well after HTC updates us to ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] spartan1987:
True, but i'm sure we'll have at least an AOSP build of ICS running long before that. hopefully they don't do like the OG Evo and update to the next version of software, but not upgrade Sense. It makes no sense to have the same look and feel and call it an "update" since Sense pretty much overtakes all of what the enduser plays with.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I think the 4G got an upgraded Sense from 1.0 to 2.0 at one point. Also I think they didn't put full 3.0 sense on the 4G b/c of the hardware underneath. yeah some excellent devs got it working great, but the last time i looked over there the only way to get it all going was to use your SD card for some of the storage and such.

I just want them to at least leave the stock lockscreen in the OS and leave it an option to use on top of Sense so we can have the face recognition if we choose. That and leave the stock ICS launcher in there as an option like they did on the 4G in the beg.

If they do those things and leave sense the way it is ill be a happy camper to be honest.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Nah we never got a sense upgrade on the 4G. I understand the limits on 3.0 but we should have most definitely received 2.0...we never did. It was embarrassing
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
I think Id rather see CM9 than a straight AOSP ICS release. I played with a friends galaxy nexus and the speed i was hoping for just wasnt there. (took me forever to get to the settings without a menu button!!!!)

IM just hoping the CM9 release was better than what i played with because if its not i may have to stick to cm7 for a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
In ICS, don't you just swipe down the notification bar, and click on the settings icon?
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
maybe, i didnt realize that id have to read the manual on ICS before using it ;-)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
yeah ur right. been so long ago i wasn't too sure on it. I know some other HTC devices have in fact gotten Sense updates so its not out of the question...
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
we will get sense 4.0 mainly because if not then they have to waste their time giving a ui overhall to both sense 3.0 sense 3.5 and sense 4.0 which is not in their best interest..

evo 4g didnt get sense 2.0 because it was very easy to update sense 1.0 to gingerbread since gingerbread didnt really offer much improvement over froyo and wasnt a ui overhall
[HTC EVO 3D] wcooper0077:
Hey Joel what's up on your ics thread you have not updated anything in a month would be cool to at least get a hey this is what has out hasn't changed... I know you locked it but something man;) is like dangling a ice cream sandwich right in front if my face and no way to get it
