[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
im hoping thats to fix the usb issue and add a cutout for the secondary mic :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikehoteltango:
jeez the Pop case winds up covering one of the mics? that's kind of a downer... wish I came here prior to purchasing the case on Amazon especially since it's supposedly arriving today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
Is there a hole for the camera microphone? Seems like the Barely There and Tough case has a hole for it, but not the Pop! case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
its amazon, just send it back, they'll even give you money back for shipping it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimfire72:
Just got my pop case in today, ordered the black one from a seller on Amazon.

It *does* add a bit of bulk, at least a good 2.5mm on each side, it is a fairly thick case... but I like it, makes the phone feel more solid and gives a little bit of weight to it - a good thing IMO. Fits my GSM Nexus just fine.

Only thing is, the dock port on the side gets covered, but I don't plan on getting the car dock, so could be a problem for some. Overall, I like it and am glad I got it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Adds bulk but worth it because of the level of impact protection you get.

Edit: Decided to scrap the Pop it's now back in the box and sitting in my closet. It's very hard to remove the case and the charging port doesn't fit most chargers.Also the glossy plastic is VERY easily scratched. So even if you're careful it's a scratch magnet. Paid 28$ shipped from ebay. Going to go with Ghost Armor & switch between a TPU and an Otterbox Commuter. The Pop just didn't meet my expectations.:thumbdown::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20matt:
Got my Pop case in the mail today. I love the snug fit. Feels great in the hand. I have the gsm version and my stock usb cable fits perfectly. Overall i'm happy with the case.

Just purchased mine through ebay for $17.50 , can't wait for it to arrive.

I'd like to know this AND if this case fits the Verizon Shell holster too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
keep in note that the revision of this case will be appearing at the end of this month. so you guys might want to want out for that or contact case mate directly and they'll send you a replacement for free. it will fit both CDMA & GSM is what a representative told me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Also contacted Casemate due to not being satisfied with the Pop. Was told the same thing. Id like to exchange it for a tough ,barely there or especially a vroom but not sure if they'll allow that. Guess im waiting on the revised pop

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scovik:
OK, mid you that the answers I got from Samsung Romania customer support where over the telephone not mail so......

According to the support ppl there are no differences between yakju and yakjuxw. They both get updates from Google not one from Google (yakju) and the other one from Samsung (yakjuxw). They also said that yakjuxw is for more specific countries or zones as well as for certain carriers, thus some phones with yakjuxw may have some personalized software, ring tones or wallpapers that other yakjuxw don't have. The yakju version is the, let's say universal version with no specific crap in it so the updates come first and quicker to this version then the yakjuxw.

I can confirm that the service support for GN phones of Vodafone Romania told me that I will not loose my warranty if I install yakju version on the phone, of course they official Google version found on their site. They also told me that if I unlock my phone via code from any other source except Vodafone that will void the warranty, so bummer there.

The fact of the matter is that there are ppl that flashed yakju to a yakjuxw Gn and still didn't get the 4.0.2 update while other got it.

The are ppl with yakju by stock that didn't get 4.0.2 yet.

Again this was over the phone with a customer support person, although I have sent Samsung an email about 11 days ago I have still yet to receive an answer from them.

For those of us with yakjuxw all that remains for us to do is wait and see how long will it take for 4.0.2 to get to us or flash to yakju and hope OTA updates will be on their marry way to our GN and that flashing yakju will actually mean getting the updates as quick as the ones with stock yakju.

One question for those who flashed yakju over yakjuxw:

After flashing yakju in Android System info does it still say Samsung in Brand? Or does it say Google? We all know that yakjuxw have Brand: Samsung while yakju have Brand: Google.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
I changed from yakjuxw to yakju and Android System Info says Brand: google. It was samsung before.. :)

But still no update to 4.0.2, but I guess that Google stopped the updates for some reason. Many people with original yakju devices don't have the update yet, too..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
My verizon galaxy nexus (mysid) shows google as the brand as well. can someone with a gsm galaxy nexus post a screenshot of android system info for comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scovik:
It's good to know that the brand also changes from samsung to google.

Here is the screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
Here's a shot of mine.

What does the host line mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
In most phones, at Brand section apears the name of the carrier, like T-Mobile, Vodafone or any other company, In this case is Samsung.

Samung Kies is incompatible with GN so the question remains: who is responsable with deploying updates for these phones and how?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scovik:
The support person from samsung told me that if I try to update GN with Kies, it won't work. I haven't tried it yet to see if it's true.

Like I sayd in my first post, according to samsung all GN are supported and updated via OTA by google and only by google as it's a full google phone. If this is true or not, remains to be seen with future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
As mentioned in other threads, Samsung made the region/carrier changes to original yakju build to support different regions/carriers, thus the various yakju** variants. Ideally they should send these changes back to Google to be incorporated into the main AOSP branch. So hopefully with a major future OTA release, Google will bring all GSM GN's into a single OTA profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
I've flashed yakju over yakjuxw and did get the 4.0.2 the 2nd day after it was officially released, so it goes to say that there are people who flashed yakju and got the update.

I think the rep wasn't lying about what he said above, because 1 of the differences between yakju and yakjuxw that I've seen is that Samsung's build, yakjuxw had 30-40 more ringtones than the official Google build. Also maybe some more wallpapers. Other than that, I didn't see any changes.

My question on this problem is the following: is there some IMPORTANT part of the firmware that is different ? Something like the baseband or settings missing or etc. ? That kind of important. Ringtones are not that important, so it doesn't really matter that they are missing from Google build, I can live with that. But if a baseband is different and it affects the reception, now that is something very important. So, are there any important differences like that ?

That's really good to know. So if I check in the service store with my phone with unlocked bootloader and yakju build, everything's fine ?

That was obvious. What isn't necessarily obvious is the fact that the phone came locked on Vodafone. Is it true, did you check ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scovik:
The phone is locked on Vodafone.

I really can't say what would happen if you would go to vodafone service with the bootloader unlocked and yakju instead of yakjuxw. Let's hope it wont come to that....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
But that's the CDMA version...not what these guys are talking about. Ours is different anyway (since we're using Toro).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
I was just pointing out that even though the phone is on Verizon, the brand is still shown as Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjsph88:
Today, for the second time, I received a notification (only showed up in the notification bar) that I have a "Gift Pending" and I "could be today's Christmas Winner"

When I click on the notification it brings me to a webpage with a broken URL

This seems incredibly fishy to me.. does anyone know what this is, if it's malware, and how to remove it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
did you installed any weird app? it might be an ads from those app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Probably one of those apps that has those notification ads.. you'll have to find the app and uninstall it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjsph88:
I haven't installed anything out of the ordinary.. "facebook photo sync" "syncmypix" and "ski report" are the only ones that could be considered "werid"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjsph88:
I just deleted my 2 most recently installed apps. Maybe this will fix the problem.

I think I freaked out because I've never seen an advertisement like that before. I wish Google didn't allow this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harolds:
So you want Google to not allow applications to give notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Or maybe you really did win a xmas gift! you lucky dog you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
You cannot choose to allow or disallow certain notifications.. How the hell would you go about doing that. Simply stop using the app, and if enough people do so the developer will lose money and chose another ad-model.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
so i have a choice of 2 phones, an g2 and a hd2.

what do you guys think should i go for? the g2 is kinda used and the back plate is peeling off.

now the hd2 is in good shape no scratches. obviously i would install android on the hd2, and since is getting ice cream sandwich, like the g2, it seems like a good choice too, i know the processor differences and such, but wouldnt a litte oc on the hd2 make it as fast as the g2? anyhow. hopefully this is the right place :)

any help? :)

edit: by the way the g2 is 100 dollars because of the back plate, and the hd2 is 125 with extra battery and a 8 gig sd card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
What docks do you know of that would work with the Skyrocket?

Coming over from the Blackberry world I am a little disappointed to find uneven OEM built drop in docks that don't require you to plug in to charge...There seems to be one for the stock GS2 but not the Skyrocket.

XDA'r CZ Eddie is using the Infuse Vehicle Mount for this end

Phone stands are not docks per se rather than just something to hold up the device while charging bedside or on your desk. I ordered this from eBay and intend to put some kind of padding in part that holds the phone so as not to scratch it. Was also thinking this leather and suede business card holder from Royce would be an option.

Here are some other dock options I have found

Seidio - site seems to be down for maintenance right now but they have a dock listed underneath the Skyrocket accessories page

iDapt

Anker - can't find the manufacturer's site but they have a bunch listed on Amazon

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Any modifications carried out by non-Samsung authorised repair people (or anyone else for that matter) voids your warranty.

Basically you're asking a question only Samsung can answer. Soooo...You're going to have to roll the dice & send it in for warranty service & see what happens. Or have it repaired by someone other than Samsung.

Being a betting man, I'd say you'll be paying for the repairs either way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
They would have to be blind or dump not to see any difference since the original handsets have a label (battery space) with fone details on it....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankcabrera1962:
I own the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G

Twice I have had a problem were after charging over night the phone is hot near the camera area and the phone is extremely laggy. I just power down the device and turn it back on and it works fine again. This has only happened in the span of 6 weeks. My sister has the same phone and she has not encountered this problem. Any suggestions?

Not sure if a reset will fix the problem and I wouldn't even know how to do it.

*Side not the volume will randomly drop down really low and I have to constantly raise the volume. Not a big issue but again after paying money in the amount they wanted I should have to deal with that.*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Somewhere around there is where the SOC resides I think. Would have to look at the pictures of it torn apart again to make sure. You might uninstall your apps one at a time or a few at a time - reboot and see what it does.

You might also go into settings>about phone>battery usage and see if something is using a lot of CPU cycles. Watchdog, OS Monitor, and a couple other programs will list specific apps and processes so you can tell exactly what's doing it. CPU Spy is a great tool to use too - it will show you what speeds your processor spends the most time at.

As far as the volume, you may inadvertently be turning it down. If not, you might root your phone (if you haven't done it yet) and slap on the stock EK02 rom, kernel, and modem. If that doesn't solve the issue then go back to stock EG30 - unrooted of course (sticky thread in the development section for this phone) and return it to the store. It might be a hardware issue.

What is the status on rooting version 1.4.1? I'd like to update my software and get it rooted as opposed to booting off the SD card. It appears that some folks over there were successfull, but I'm not understanding the steps they went through to do it.

I'm also a little gun shy based on my last failed attempt. I'd hate to get this stuck in another boot loop and not have it ready for Christmas morning......

There is another alternative.

If you have MN 1.3 running well, then try updating the MN using MN 5.12.20.

I did and it loaded without a hitch and I can see no issues or problems with my NC.

The really great "treat" is that I can now run HBO Go with no problems.

Now that I can do that, I wonder what advantages there really would be with the 1.4.1 upgrade?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "NM 1.3". Do you mean ManualNooter working on nook 1.3 software? I never got that working, and now my nook is at 1.4, so I think I'll just proceed with trying to get the root on 1.4.

I'm curious on what you guys find to be the best Web Browser available for the GSII.

I use my phone a ton for Web Browsing, probably 1/4 of the screen on time. Any lag, unsmooth scrolling, or similar kills me. I can wait for the page to load, but I hate choppy scrolling.

Although I love MIUI, it's Web Browser can be choppy. That's why I just flashed a TouchWiz ROM. The stock browser is extremely smooth, due to GPU Acceleration. By extremely smooth, I mean better than Safari on the 4S smooth. It's amazing.

Does anybody know of a third party browser with GPU Acceleration? Everything I've tried fails me.

Thanks

Dolphin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i find the stock to be the best overall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waggles:
I like the stock one. Tried Dolphin for awhile, but the stocker is nice and smooth, and Dolphin had some privacy issues awhile ago that they could have handled better. I miss its gesture support though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SUPERAnimal:
I enjoy opera mobile the most. The text wrapping is the best that I have found and their tabbed browsing allows you to switch between tabs while still viewing your current one. Opera could be better but is the best that I've tried. Oh and I've also tried dolphin and Firefox and neither of them blew me away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hammer7t:
I've tried Dolphin, but went back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alias3800:
Dolphin.

Stock browser gets too blocky, which might be a result of me not having a ROM installed (yet). In any case, on a completely stock phone, my best experiences have come from using dolphin HD. It has been a tad bit slow, however..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SUPERAnimal:
So after everyone recommended dolphin, I decided to give it another try. My conclusion is that dolphin is inferior to opera. I read several browser reviews and all said that opera was faster and smoother at zooming and loading webpages. Also, I don't think this was mentioned in the reviews, I found one webpage noticeably clearer on opera than dolphin.

The webpage:

www.rearthusa.com/Galaxy-S-2-ATT-Ringke-Slim-_p_279.html

The review:

www.pcworld.com/article/206278/battle_of_the_android_browsers.html

I'm not trying to insult dolphin because it's still a great browser but if you haven't tried any others or read any reviews then you might want to.
