[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberpyr8:
I am doing this switch from T-Mobile to Verizon now. I have poor coverage around my house and I have excellent Verizon 4G coverage there.

I have to say that I am happy with the phone but I almost think the Verizon coverage has made me decide to stay with it. I also had/have a Vibrant so working GPS on anything would be a plus. The network is fast and even though I am on wifi most of the time when you need to connect you need to have coverage which Verizon most certainly has more of than T-Mobile.

This has been a hard decision for me since I have been a T-Mo customer for several years and my family and the plan they are on is still T-Mobile. But just seeing the coverage and the speeds so far I can't imagine I will be sending this phone back.

I have the CDMA galaxy nexus and for some reason no matter what notification sound I choose (inside Gmail or in the Android settings menu), it always plays a whistling sound at the end of the currently selected notification. Anyone know how to get rid of this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
settings - sound - down at the bottom, you're probably annoyed by touch sounds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtph117:
No thats not it :( , that seems to be just a click sound when I make a menu selection. I am talking about a bird / whistling sound, it plays when I get a notification like email or text. First I hear my currently selected notification sound but right after that it plays the whistle.

I have read a few posts...some having memory leak problems..others are not..one solution i saw was kernel related. I really love the shake and bake theme but moved to mim black out theme e122 because of random reboots. I was also running the samurai kernel. Those of you who are not having reboot memory leak problems..are you guys running the shadow kernel or maybe the latest updated samurai!??? Thanks in advance...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
I would LOVE too see this get figured out. I had some reboots on the mod myself, but none the last couple days I ran it. I didn't have any in the 2 days while testing the version of my theme without it. In that time my battery never got low, and I did a few flashes fixing things so it was hard to measure.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Running 2 phones side by side for several days with shadow 1.0.1 and the same EI22 rom, one with 10 lock mod, the other without. I pulled several random reboots on the lockmod phone. I switched the other phone to no lockmod and it has been reboot free for 3-4 days now. The original phone without lockmod is 6+ days reboot and lag free. Ram has not dropped below 75 free, usually hangs around 110-115 free, and recovers to 130 free at times. Running no task killers and not manually clearing ram.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
I'd say it's confirmed that the lockmod is causing the reboots somewhere. I haven't had a single reboot on stock OC/UV while running no lockmod, but I had multiple a day while running the lockmod.

Myth Confirmed!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
The lockmod "may" be a factor in the equation but I gaurantee you it's not the only one. I run ICS 2.1 Lockmod and have been using the Shadow Kernel since it's release and have had no reboots and my ram is almost "always" between 100 and 150 free. Before even flashing a lockmod theme I had reboots on Samurai Kernel and low free ram. If it works fine for me without those issues then there is another variable in the equation that I'm not using that everyone else having issues is. That's common sense if you've studied anything in technology, mathematics, or science.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrEpic:
Cool..ill take this into consideration and run my own tests which will not be as extensive as you guys but info is info none the less lol. Thanks...and happy flashing!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Agreed. Of course there are other variables that will cause reboots. I was just posting results from one recent test on a specific setup. Different roms, mods, kernels, usage, etc, can cause their own issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
I think it's something in particular in conjunction with the lockmod causing massive ram leaks. Not "just" the lockmod itself. If it was "only" the lockmod not a single person using it would "not" suffer ram leaks and "not" get reboots. Though "many" do I do not, and know of quite a few others using themes with lockmods who also do not.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
The only thing I've changed is going from lockmod theme to no lockmod theme. I'll see how it does over the next few days.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
You didn't read what I said.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I have recently reduced my ram leakage to null by various ram tweaks, shadow kernel, and a removal of the 10-lock mod :(. That said, if you push your phone hard enough, it is still possible to re-enact the reboots just the same.

Basically, your phone can, and sometimes does hemorrhage ram. But when configured properly, it can recoup that ram harmlessly without your noticing. However, the 10-lock mod is a fairly integrated mod. Even the 8-lock mod is similarly integrated. With that in mind, the mod merely "enhances" the leakage to a point where it can no longer successfully be recouped over time. Once ram dips below a particular threshold, the phone is forced to soft-reboot itself in an effort to prevent a crash.

The glitch is most certainly in the kernel. Some suspect that it is in the wifi driver. Research is under way.

Simply put, it's like this:

Your phone is a boat and the kernel is a small hole in the floor.

Normally, a midget is there to help you bail out the boat so it doesn't sink.

When you add in the 10-lock mod, you drop a fat guy on top of your midget.

Now your boat sinks too fast to bail it out.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
Actually I did read what you said. I was just making a comment that I was going to see how it goes for me over the next few days with the one change in my set up.

I just had a soft reboot, so time to change something else.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
YMMV 10char
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
Then I misunderstood you're post.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpeterson:
My personal experience. I run CleanGB ROM which has the RFS file system, not Ext4. I've tried all the themes with lockmod and without on the ROM with NO issues. One day I decided to go to EXT4 and bam: reboots and heavy memory loss. Converted back to RFS and magically, all issues went away. I have tried Shadow, and all Samurai kernels with no issues. I don't know enough about this stuff to guess why the lockmod doesn't play nice on EXT4, but that is my experience.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muirtach:
So I was an idiot and removed the HTC calendar app with titanium while setting up my new phone yesterday assuming that there was a stock google one in there somewhere. I have the google calendar widget active, but when I click on it, it does not open the app (obviously a there is nothing to open). I've found the google calendar apk but it force crashes on me.

I had backed up the original app before deleting, but when attempting to restore it just cycles a though it was restoring to no avail. Is there a kind soul out there who could upload the apk files for the HTC calendar and widget for me so I can fix my goof.

Just wondering if there's any word for the 2000ma extended battery that was released with the Korean version? Or does anyone know where to purchase one?

I tried searching and couldn't find a thread on it....sorry if there is one already!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Lets make this the official search thread!

Definitely interested in one of these.

Ummm cause I don't want to burn my house down.....duh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Those batteries can't be that bad...

I doubt they cause any of the damage you lot are stating.

They probably are not actually 2300mah though, but for £4 it's worth a try I'd say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Why should they not actually be 2300 mAh? The seller's stats are as good as they come.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Because with the same battery technology there isn't a way to increase the capacity by that much without compromising the size.. otherwise manufacturers like Samsung would have put that into the stock device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Probably, but probably not ... if that will increase the weight, or price for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Well, I will risk my genitalia and try this battery. 2 week delivery is taking the piss though.

With Christmas, it will take 3-4 weeks probably. At least I get to keep my legs for a bit longer aye?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I don't think they celebrate christmas in Hong kong, so i think you're back down to 2 weeks, 3 the latest probably. So less time with your legs, love them while you have em :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
I live in Thailand and my post office has a huge sign saying please expect shipment delays both domestically and internationally. It isn't just Christmas. It's people taking breaks and everything else as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Indeed. The weight is much higher and this battery doesn't have NFC. And at the end we are talking about an increase in capacity of only 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyyy:
we do celebrate Christmas in Hong Kong, but what the eBay page showing the item location is in mainland China, and no they don't celebrate Christmas. but I still wouldn't recommend it, as someone has said, they often exagerate the capacity or they die after 30 cycles, not to mention you could lose a limb or two.

GSM extended battery now in?!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item19cc0fdb94

Recent addition to ebay (This morning)

Comes with new extended cover for

GSM

not Verizon. 2000mAh

3-6 days express delivery and 6-12 on free delivery.

Ive just bought one on the express. Will feedback when the badboy arrives.

Seller has good rep and claims these are genuine Samsung Parts...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Unfortunately not, sorry.

He had those last night for $40 less. Lol glad I got two while they where cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
lol the price has literally just gone up! I got one cheaper too :)

how much more uptime are you getting from the 2000mah compared to the 1750?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THS1989:
WTF is with the insane prices.

Let me know when these hit $25 lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
They had these at $50 bucks yesterday night. I decided to wait until the morning to buy em and now they at $80 bucks.

Deal breaker for me. Hope no one else buys it to show that $80 is ridiculous.

ravenous tech lusters will buy at $80. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

BTW, I just read the ebay description: No original Samsung Packaging. You probably will get a battery that may have been used already in Korea, as that is where the seller is located. He probably got a hold of a few extended 2000 mah batteries as they come standard in the GNex sold in Korea and is trying to sell them without the packaging because there isn't any for the battery in the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Now they are $180. Haha crazy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashen Victor:
Holy crap...!!! I reported that this seller had the combos for $50 in the other thread last night, but this is straight retarded! I guess when you're the only person selling them you can pretty much do as you please. I hope no one gives into this seller's price gouging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Not buying it, those aren't authentic.

I've been buying and selling on ebay for 12 years....it's easy to see when something isn't authentic, even when they claim it is.

They make their own batteries, print out a samsung logo, wrap that logo around their batteries, and call it authentic. Don't fall for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I'm pretty sure they're authentic since the Korean Galaxy Nexus do come with a spare 2000mah battery. So it'd make sense that they're selling them.

But the price is riiiiiidiccculous!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
lol enough speculation! No one can say for sure untill we get our hands on one. No matter how many years we've been eBaying. The fact this alligns with the countires product specification, the rep of the guy, the fact he differentiates with what is genuine and what is not I have some hope but will not be surprised either way.

I'd be pissed if I payed £114 for a fake! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
they are original, but i'll just wait for them to die down, but ppl are still paying USD 80 for them, i'm waiting for the official release in hong kong, like i said, if korean do make them, they will come official soon or later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
Battery and new back has come this morning! With Christmas bank holidays and things this literally took 1 British working day to come lol.

Well its defo genuine and the back now follows the curvature

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fungflex:
Can the folks who got one confirm that this battery is compatible with NFC? I actually use the google wallet a great deal, and I use the NFC for a few other purposes so it is a must for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
For those of you that have the extended battery, do you notice a significant increase in your daily usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Do you happen to have a case that's not designed for the extended battery?

If so, could you try putting the case on with the back cover off with the extended battery and see if it fits?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it does not fit, thats why they made the extra cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That's not what he was asking...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you mean a hard case or tpu, some hard case will fit but will be rather tight, but a tpu/silicon will have no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I'm talking about not using the plastic back cover.

I've ordered the Rinke metal case, so the back cover should not be an issue if I can squeeze in an extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
thats what i mean, using the tpu or hard case without the battery cover, this will hold the extended battery in but may not hold the normal one, if you decide to interchange between them both.

with some hard case that has a already tight fit along the rim, the extended battery may force the case not grab the rim of the phone.

this is similar to the ringke slim case, that rearth stated will fit the both verizon and gsm version, while the verizon version, the edge of the case does not hook the side of the phones rim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Just bought one, I hope that it fits the official car dock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Of course it won't hold the normal battery in, but that doesn't make sense since if I am going to use a normal battery with a hard case, i'll put the back cover on anyway.

The point is to see if you can use a standard case with an extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JeffreyGT:
Will the backcover of the extended battery also hold the normal battery (1750mAh) in place? Just for emergencies.

I'm asking because I have a HTC Desire HD and always have a backup battery in my wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If not, you could always stick some paper in there to keep it tight, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I'm only point out the possibilities, that you may be using the standard battery as well.

in that case have you considered getting another standard battery.

Just restore to stock rooted? I don't have to inroot and relock do I?

I've found that changing the channel on my wifi appears to limit the disconnects quite a bit.

I was having issues trying to connect to the home WiFi. It would Attach just fine but as soon as the device either went to sleep or after a reboot it would fail.

I did a Google search and found a thread. They said it was the WiFi Channel If you have your WiFi Access Point set to Channels 1-5 you were fine 6-11 it would fail as I described above....

Sure enough, my was set to 11, to get away from the rest of the neighborhood.

So I set mine to 1, removed the connection from the Touchpad and re-added it and have not had a problem since.

Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
[TouchPad General] aviralmsharma:
It worked

Weird but true, I switched from channel 11 to channel 1 and it worked.
[TouchPad General] hotlikefriction:
I was not having the wifi troubles that two other touchpad owners I know were having. I installed Android on both of their devices, but couldn't figure out what to do to fix it and it was making me insane. Finally, we reset all our routers to a channel below 5 and found that they all connected to wifi well, HOWEVER, I found a better solution. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but this must be a setting I fiddled with on my TP, that the other two TP owners had not fiddled with.

Go into Wifi Settings, then click the Menu button at the bottom left (the three bars)... click Advanced then click Regulatory Domain. In my touchpad, I had clicked on the 11 Channel option. On the two touchpads that could not regularly connect to wifi, neither had a selection made whatsoever under "Regulatory Domain." After clicking "11 Channels," all three touchpads can connect to wifi with no issues AT ALL, no matter the channel.

I almost can't believe this hasn't been posted in other forums yet, because it seems to be the key and much easier than setting every router you want to connect to, to a different channel.

Please let me know if this works.
