I dropped my GSM version down a flight of stairs... about 6-8 steps at work.

Stairs/floor was carpeted though.

Phone bounced, slid, flipped.

Not a single scratch, dent, etc.

I had no screen protector on either.

You guys are lucky. Mine slipped off of a table onto concrete from about 4 feet high and I have some pretty nasty chips/dings on the plastic around the screen. I'm going to sell this one and get a new GN and keep it in a case at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
This thread just made me move my phone from the edge-ish of the table, to the middle of the table.

+1 for the shudders every time I read each experience with their "falls".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Dropped mine in an optus shop on their tiled floor, was comparing it to a moto razr :P. not a single mark :D

i know people always say that light devices feel 'cheap' however imo i prefer it causes less damage when you drop it, while i havnt done it yet with my cowon s9 when listening to music and if you drop it its too light to actually disconnect the headphones so it just swings there :P, im hoping the GN will be similar if it ever happens :P

[Atrix 4G General] jimjenkins:
I recently started having an issue where the bottom half of my touchscreen is calibrated incorrectly. The top half of the screen functions normally, but at about the middle of the screen (moving down) the calibration is off and you have to press about 10mm below where you intend to. The result is that the soft buttons are unavailable, which basically renders the phone unusable.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue and success resolving it?

Running CM7.1 and RomRacer recovery.

Thanks.

Sounds like you messed up the pds partition you need to do search for pds partition fix and be sure to get the right one for whatever android version you are running.
[Atrix 4G General] raduth:
I have the same problem....how can i find the pds partition fix?

And how to install it?
[Atrix 4G General] gekster:
There is no any problem in calibration. It is bug of many atrix phones after a few month of using. Ghost finger and dead zones. Nobody knows if it is hardware or software problem. At&t replaces phones with that problem, orange issued a patch. Some people advice to change digitizer (50$) but I haven't seen any information about good examples.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] |Jason8|:
Hello, I did some searching and didn't see anything like this for Windows.

** NOTE: This requires the ADB and bootloader drivers to be installed already **

Google released the original 4.0.1 firmware (including radios and bootloader) in a compressed .tgz file. You can get that here:

https://dl.google.com/android/aosp/mysid-itl41d-factory-516b56c2.tgz

Extract the file into a working directory. Then... extract this (attached) into that directory as well.

Either reboot to bootloader manually or turn on USB Debugging, then run flash-all.bat and everything should go from there!

This is just a modified version of the script Google sent along with the package, so there shouldn't be any issues.

Tested the script on my own phone, and it completed twice. So it should be safe. But as always, you assume the risk! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmertin:
Thanks, this worked for me. However, it does not re-lock the bootloader. You can tell by when the Google logo is on the screen while booting up, if there is an unlocked lock on the bottom then it is unlocked. To fix this, type in:

After that you should be good to go again and be stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Why not use the 4.0.2 image? Makes more sense to use the latest version:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zzim:
I get a "Missing adbwinapi.dll" error when trying to use your .bat? How do I ensure ADB is installed correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StirCwazy:
If you've got the SDK installed put the fastboot files in the sdk\tools or sdk\platform folder where adb is located. The adbwinapi.dll should be located in there.

Or just copy adbwinapi.dll into the same folder where you have the "restore kit" files downloaded from the OP.

so.....how do we run the script? with fastboot? with what commmands? it's late, i'm tired and i just want to start from scratch on my GNex...had Wallet running, then loaded BB, lost Wallet, now wallet won't run on ANY rom i have, even rebuilt to 4.0.2, but need to get back to 4.0.1...i posted a question in the Q&A section if there was an ODIN of 4.0.1 lying around somewhere....hopefully i'll get some help either way...

thanks.

EDIT...got it, double click the bat file...the original post did not say that.....thanks for the last post for mentioning it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
Having seen the Nexus S sticky for factory firmware etc., I think its time we see this or another post evolve into the same sort of thing including full restores for 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and the eventual 4.0.3(lte) radio's etc.,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrZoSo:
Here's a modified script that will allow you to choose between 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. (as long as you have either image or both) It also has the option to re-lock the bootloader.

I'll also update it when the official 4.0.3 images are released.

I don't take no credit for what was already done, I just modified it ;)

Instructions:

=========

1- Extract folder with contents of this package.

2- You will need the Google Factory image for the version you want to restore, or both if you want.

3- Extract the image files to the same folder in step one. Image files should not be in a seperate folder!

So you should have, in one folder, the above files contained in this package plus:

image-mysid-xxxxxx.zip (xxxxxx= pertains to what version)

radio-tor-i515.xxxx.img

radio-cdma-tor-i515.xxxx.img

flash-all.sh

bootloader-tor-primexxxx.img

4- Dbl click on GNexRestore.bat and follow the prompts.

Optionally, if you do have the Android SDK installed, just copy the image files and GNexRestore.bat to the platform-tools folder.

fastboot.exe will also be needed, if you don't have it already, just copy the one in this package to the same location.

Then run GNexRestore.bat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pizzaguy24:
when you extraxt the factory image i get one file and the icon looks like a blank piece of paper. is that how it is suppose to be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrZoSo:
When you extract the image, you should see a folder with the files you need.

e.g. this is from 4.0.2

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstylus:
SGS2 only read the new 64bit SIM Cards from your provided, not the old 32bit SIMs. I had the same issue. You need to go back to your Service providers shop... and ask them for a new 64bit SIM. They should just swap it for you. Then your SGS2 should be fine!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Then flash recovery, you should be able to do it threw Rom Manager on the market. Which will need superuser. Flash the recovery, I recommend doing a backup, then install this rom,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934721

by after it downloading, hit it and click rom manager.

Select wipe everything.

Then you will need to install gapps from the same place you got the rom. This will give you google apps. Enjoy!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmertin:
Is anyone else having connection problems with their Verizon SGN? I don't get a 4G connection unless I'm outside, and when I'm outside I only get 1 or 2 bars. I do get a connection inside, though only when I'm near a window and it's usually 1 bar or it will be 2 bars for 10 minutes or so. Because of this, I'm most of the time in 3G, and when I am, I usually have 2 bars, sometimes one. I'm not sure why this is, I live in a well populated area (Tampa Bay area) and Verizon tech-support couldn't figure out the cause either. Is there anything that I can do to fix this? Is anyone else having problems like this?

I am running the 4.0.2 LTE version of Android Revolution HD (I think it's 2.1, though that's off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dug-e-fresh:
Haha... for me its almost comical how my 4G works.

At work, in the building... no 4G. I walk outside (which I rarely do) I have 4G. The entire 45 mile commute home... I have 4G. 4G so good it rivals my wireless N connection.

Then at my house. Outside, I have 4G. As soon I go inside. No 4G. Thank god for wifi. haha

And to add insult to injury... I've been to 2 friends homes since I've had the Gnex... while inside at both houses.... I get 4G.

lol, oh well.

pretty sure 4G is line-of-sight technology - if you're well indoors, it can't see you. =)

I am in the Tampa area, i work at Netpark...right by the casino. Indoors, i get no 4g, outside...great 4g....sigh

FYI, i just got a call back from the upper level Tech, he advised me to come in a swap my device out. He feels as though it is the radio in my device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aleks_:
T989 running on T-Mobile Complete Stock - Just Rooted - Bloatware Removed - Nothing else and no custom Roms. Just plain Stock....

For me here are the pros of my update to 2.3.6:

Pros:

- Better battery life (was even better after root and most bloatware was removed especially that pesky Carrier IQ)

- More responsive UI

- Less Laggy

- The new Music icon is quite attractive

- Wi-fi calling feature was a pretty good addition and will come in handy later

Cons:

- I live in the 4th largest city and I live in within the city about 5 minutes from downtown, which has HSPA+21, and was one of the first cities it was released in, and my co workers with T-Mobile get way faster speeds on their unrooted phones while the 4G coverage for me is just horrible especially for a 600 dollar phone.

- Marketplace is a mess

- I find myself having to reboot more frequently just to stay on 4G

- Perhaps it's just that everyone is on break from school/work and they are using the network more than usual but the network has not be so nice to me since the update. I'm gonna hope this is the case.

- The update may have caused more problems than it fixed.

What about you guys? Pros and Cons for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jimbo Droid:
For me it slowed my internet down. When throttled tmobile gives a ****y 2g before the update it was usable after the update i can barley use the internet when throttled. Battery seems like it may have improved slightly. The update screwed up my root of coarse. My phone wasn't getting the info-mouse reboot problem before when it was rooted and had the bloatware removed and now its doing it again after loosing my root. Now i gotta Waite till super one click gets updated to reroot don't want to take chance of bricking my phone with other root methods or loosing unroot which super one click provides.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
Why didn't you just flash one of the stock rom so you can stay rooted and not to mention it does not contain and of the CIQs?

So far I have to agree that the battery life is excellent. but disagree on the internet being slow cause Im getting the same if not better than what i used get (downtown NYC area).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
I'm getting decent speeds. they do seem to be more inconsistent, but I've hit my highest peak ever.

Standby battery life has gone through the roof, battery life period is exactly what I want it to be and nothing less. I don't notice much of a difference with the radio but I do notice I don't lose service after going from 4G to 2G anymore but it can stick on GPRS and not EDGE.

The only annoyance for me is my Picasa albums are gone from the Gallery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
I havent noted any changes in battery life to be honest, its the same as before. Not horrible, but i do find myself having to plug in around 7:30-8pm

google talk is enabled on stock finally, but what is this new icon you speak off? my music icon looks the same , maybe i havent noticed the change before. could you post a few pics?

Also, 4G is also the same. I did a couple of speedtests, and the standard variation is there, i'm getting about the same speeds.

The UI was supposed to be smoother... but, once again, im not noticing the difference that much, maybe its really subtle.

on the plus side, things havent deteriorated at all... so thats good i guess, i was hoping the update would bring some screen calibration fixes with it, seemed like the perfect opportunity to do that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
I am currently running stock rooted with bullet kernel. I was previously rooted on Juggernaught. I Odined back to stock unrooted (VERY easily) and rerooted after flashing the update (again with Odin) also very easily.

I am in love with this update. My phone is working better than it ever has. So much that I am almost afraid to flash a ROM once Juggs gets updated to include WiFi calling.

Yesterday I recorded my BEST battery stats of all time. Over 4 hours of screen on time and a total life of 14.5 hours with 6% remaining when I went to bed and put it to charge at around 11:15PM. That of course was a Sunday when I don't use my phone as much. And with WiFi calling turned on as often as possible. Today since I am at wokr and I will used my phone for browsing much more often I will probably get less battery life but I will say that at 11:45EST the phone is currently at 1.5 hours screen on time and total time off charger of 4.5 hours and still has 60% remaining. Still not too shabby.

One thing I will say though is that the WiFi calling is a little buggy. There are times when I will get a bit of a delay while talking over wifi. Sometimes as well the wifi calling will not enable properly when I connect to a router. And finally once I got a 911 error even though I have had a 911 address on my account since my G2x days!

All in all I think this was an update that was definitely worth the wait for me. Hopefully the eventual ICS update will bring even more greatness to this phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Pros:

No more double tap home button voice command.

Seems a little more optimized (smoother).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stondec:
I've been using this update for about 24 hours now and have nothing but positive experience with it.

1. Much better bluetooth functionality - connects faster now and stays connected all the time especially with my car where the bluetooth audio used to be temperamental.

2. Not sure about battery life but appears to be better.

3. I get solid 4g signal

4. Phone is noticeably faster than before

The new update has made my phone even better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Using mr Xs rom. very smooth. wifi calling is a plus (minor plus). speeds have stayed the same for me but the ping is MUCH faster (43 ms now.. Was 600 ms).

Battery life isnt better if i am using the phone, but it is MUCH better if the phone is on standby.
