Why does the GSM version only have 16GB of memory? Why can't it at least have a microsd slot???

Even the N1 had a microsd slot and then with NS it was removed, but the phone has 16GB built in. That was ok LAST YEAR..

I want a real upgrade, but I can't upgrade to increased storage (with GN) so I can get rid of my Zune and carry a single device.

Will we wind up with a 32GB GSM version or would it be better just to wait and see what the specs look like on SGS3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EcPercy:
I looked at that phone... it's just way too big. For now I will just enjoy my NS on ICS, but I am thinking about either the SGS2 for my next phone (once it has CM9) or just waiting for the SGS3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bommel0815:
maybe just stop listening to stupid noises, at least on the go? hm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonny_rubber:
and then you here rumours of another new one on the way with 64gb ........and it goes on and on and on until you realise that you havent upgraded in ten years waiting for the perfect phone that will be the best one out there for years.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EcPercy:
LOL!

Well I have 2 hours on the MRT every day + gym 3x a week... I would just like to go from having a phone and dedicated mp3 player to just a phone with all of my music on it.

My Zune.. is nearly 2 years old and has 32GB of storage. You're telling me that a brand new cutting edge phone should be artificially limited to 16GB?

I guess that's what I was getting at. I am at a loss as to why the verizon model has 32GB and the GSM has 16GB. Why even have a 16GB model at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EcPercy:
On that note... Why take a step backwards from N1 (My N1 has a 32gb micro sd) to the NS (which I also have) and then stay at the same level with GN?

Maybe I am beating a dead horse, but honestly the GN (other than the screen) doesn't look that appealing because of the storage and the fact that they used the same graphics chip as my NS (slightly overclocked) to drive the huge HD screen. Maybe that doesn't make that big of a difference, but the specs are somewhat of a let down since this is supposed to be setting the bar for other manufacturers with ICS phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Right. Why not throw in a 128GB flash storage, just to be on the safe side, right ?

I hate these kind of threads. Do you really need MORE than 16000/5(average track) = 3200 songs on your phone at any time ? Do you need 6400 songs ? Really ? Use Google Music if you really need tens of thousands of tracks with you all the time. Jeez...

Keep in mind that the future IS cloud computing. Don't go bullshitting on me now, it IS KNOWN this is the truth. So if you can't get your act together now, just don't buy THIS particular phone and wait for the phone that is suitable for you and when cloud computing is going to be suitable for you. It's that simple. Rule of thumb: if you're not really keen on buying a 700$ phone (even on contract), because of whatever "defect" from your perspective, just don't buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I agree with the first point you made but I totally disagree with cloud computing being the future. It is at times reliable, but it is certainly not something I'd want to risk all the way. I live in New York City where the city is heavily relied on tunnels and subways, service is not always available underground. Because of this, cloud computing for music is a complete fail.

I know you're from Europe, but on the American side. Carriers like to put bandwidth limitations on our 3G/4G and even home broadband. If we exceed a specific limit, we get fined/charged/punished because of it. Another fail for cloud computing. If I have a 720p movie, I would rather have it stored on my hard drive than streaming it from a server.

@OP: Okay, we get your point. We respect your opinion, it would appear that your decision is final. So why don't you go back to the Nexus S forums instead of trying to justify your decision? I carry a media player and phone with me. I know its a huge inconvenience, but at the same time... a lot of battery is being used towards music, so I prefer having it on another device. That's another plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
As far as reliability goes, I wasn't talking about cloud computing being everywhere right now. IT is out there, but not on global/efficient scale. But in a couple of years, with technology advancements, there won't be any more limitations to spectrum coverage, like in tunnels or areas with no/bad coverage. Also, probably no more bandwidth caps as well. So this IS the future, there's no point in arguing about it. Your point was if it's feasible right now. Well, so and so. You can still rely on Google Music if you want, because it has offline storage. And 3200 offline songs storage capability + streaming when you actually can (not in tunnels), can make your life easier, without the need of 64/128 GB storage. So you can still manage this, if you try; that's what I wanted to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Glad you dont make the big decisions around here.

Crazy world, ay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
People seriously need to stop underestimating the Galaxy Nexus hardware, I would dare to say it beats every other phone on the market.

Closest thing would be the iPhone 4S.

I don't know why google didn't make the GSM version 32 gb, but with Google Music you don't need to worry about storage space, when it comes to music at least.

Google Music and an unlimited dataplan works fine, or use spotify.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Yikes you listen to that much music with an mp3 player everyday? You must have no idea what damage you are doing to your stereocilia. Your threshold of activation of your stereocilia is probably permanently shifted by now. Pretty sad considering you are probably young yet sustained that much damage in a short amount of life span.

I highly suggest you take a college course on the anatomy of the ear and how hearing works. Once you realize how delicate your inner ear is, you won't be f*cking with nature by listening to that much direct ear damaging music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
That's a very constructive and effective commentary, good job ! I bet mama's very proud of her son's intelligence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackOtaku:
Y'all have to be the most unhelpful bunch I've seen yet. Of course, then again, there's not much to help here. :p

Maybe OP would be better served with an SGSII, if he needs the microSD slot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
What help can we even provide him with?

Why ask this on a forum, Google are more likely to know the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwnasaurus:
Some of us use reasonable listening volumes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwakshot:
The point is that if you're out and you don't happen to have a certain song you wanna hear on your phone, you can stream it.

It's not meant to be a total replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
look, the gnex is the best fone right now. period. and it will be. till the next nexus. get it and you wont regret. the camera and the display will just blow you away. then you will go to the bathroom and come back and turn it on and the display will blow you away again. wat can i say, it has been happening to me every time i turn it on for the past 4 days! Same as you, storage was the biggest concern for me too. But my music and gameloft games fit fine on it, as far as movies go, i just got a usb otg cable and use my existing usb key/microsd. :) problem solved. for regular use, i would say 32gb is perfect, but 16gb gets the job done quite well, plus usb otg for vids! :-) and i turnd my fone on again and went "wow"!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Gsm its sexier than lte ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EcPercy:
I would say you are spot on here, but... I mentioned before that I spend 2 hours a day on the MRT. For those in the USA you would better know this as the Subway. The internet just isn't good enough for constant streaming while moving along in the train and we have TONS of people all checking the internet as well so that makes your speed go WAY down even when you are above ground.

Now that my phone (NS) has ICS I can see what kind of data google music is using, but I am a little sceptical that you can use google music and not go over your data limit for the month. I have a 12GB plan for data, but I am also sharing that data with my GT 10.1 and I watch TONS of YT videos while at work.

Now for everyone else. Don't get me wrong. I like google phones. I have owned the N1 and NS. I am ready for a phone upgrade now, but torn. I want the newest google experience phone. I prefer that to any of the UI addons that come from the manufacturers. I HATE touch UX on my GT 10.1 and I can't wait to get rid of it for CM9 (when it is out on my tab). I can wait if 16GB is all we get for storage. Maybe the 16GB version is all that will come out until Samsung gets the initial demand met and then we will see larger version like a 32 and 64GB model. (who knows right?)

My NS is currently sitting at less than 2GB of free space and my old GT10.1 (also 16GB) was sitting at about 1GB free after I put some cbt nuggets on it to watch while I am at work to prepare for a certification exam. I have since gotten a GT 10.1 (32GB) and I am not hurting at all for storage, but this is not practical to use as an MP3 player while working out... :P

So that's it. I am not dogging the hardware. I am just questioning the storage decision with more and more apps coming out that have extra downloads after installing the initial app you are going to need more and more space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EcPercy:
You highly suggest a college course? You don't even know me.. I will tell you a little bit about me. My Zune goes to 30 for the volume. I normally listen to it around 8-9. That's pretty low and I can still hear things going on around me. I wouldn't call that an ear damaging level...

Young... Hardly. I am 32. I already have a college degree... but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how loud you should listen to your music ESPECIALLY with the in-ear headphones pointing directly at your eardrums.

Thank you for your concern either way. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
Well, you can sync music with Spotify, it uses the Ogg vorbis codec, so it doesn't take too much space.

UNBRICK SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 4G

I'd like to post my steps that i took to unbrick my Samsung exhibit 4G when i being stupid and excited about rooting it flashed CWM using ROM manager for one of the nexus 4g version and rebooted device and got soft brick screen. Hope its helps some of you guys out like it did for me.

Requirements:

-ODIN

-TMO_T759_ADB_Tether_Drivers

-IZark

-Attached file "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3"

-Soft bricked Samsung Exhibit 4G

Guide:

Step 1: Download stock kernel zip "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3" from below these steps.

Step 2: Download program IZark (i used version 4.1.6) and install program to computer. (Search Google for program download)

Step 3. Open IZark program then open file "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3"

Step 4. click "tools" then click "convert archive" then change the output file location and file name looks like this

(Documents\location on computer\zImage.tar)

*Ensure the name of the file will be "zImage.tar"

Step 5. Make sure the output type is TAR (.tar) and then press OK

i left "integrity" check "on"

Step 6. Put device in download mode by powering device off, then press and hold volume + and - press and then plug into computer

*ODIN should detect the device*

Step 7. Using odin flashed new zImage.tar file using PDA button

Step 8. Odin will complete and then reboot your device into stock recovery then choose reboot system now and device will HOPEFULLY reboot succesfully.

Lazy User's: Wanna skip the steps and try my zImage file, Go for it! Im attaching my "zImage.tar" file for those whom just wanna flash it through ODIN and hopefully it works. But if not try the follow steps above.

***i am not responsable for any of the files or most of the steps. Just followed a conversation with some other XDA members and gathered the steps together to make them in easy to read thread***

Much love and cred to these following XDA members: clay21, rhynokilla, and more just cant remember. :(

Tried this method and now my phone is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade fail!" screen. Odin still detects the device is connected but when trying to reflash the stock recovery through PDA, Odin 3.07 is stuck at NAND Write Start!!. Previous versions shows that the operation failed. Is there any way to get past this? I tried using Odin version 1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.06 and 3.07.
