Definitely no regrets here, in my opinion it's the best phone on the market.

I have the GSM version (not LTE), and it has acceptable battery life - easily gets through the day with moderate use, which is all you really want out of a modern smartphone.

The screen is gorgeous - don't take too much notice of criticism of its pentile matrix. Does tend to suck the battery a bit though if there's a lot of screen-on time.

I'm rooted and running a custom ROM (bigxie 4.0.3) & kernel (Franco), which has made it absolutely fly whilst also improving battery life!

As to whether it's a big enough jump from your current phone - that'll always be subjective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piperat:
I don't have any of the issues you describe. Maybe you just got a bad phone, or you messed it up. I have the cdma version. I'm on my eight Android phone and this one is a class above the rest. Everything is smooth. I get 15 of regular use. No lag whatsoever. I have not had any crashes at all.

+1 Galaxy Nexus

A mate of mine has just picked up the GN and loves it. Although it probably depends how much you're paying for it, here's my thoughts:

GN desktop is snappy and smooth. It's fast - my SGS running ICS is just no competition in speed.

The phone doesn't run touchwiz, or other samsung bloatware. My mates phone didn't have carrierIQ.

Google have a solid track record of early updates to the stock ROM. This and ongoing support is a major plus. It's wise to invest nice and early to get the most out of it.

The screen is huge and sharp. Compared to your old phone it's going to be a major feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j c m:
I came from an iPhone 4 to the GNex. The GNex is absolutely the best phone I've ever owned. I love everything about it and wouldn't trade it for anything that's been announced so far at CES. I have the GSM version running on AT&T in the U.S. and have no reception or battery complaints. Yesterday, I went 12+ hours of moderate use and had 55% battery remaining when I plugged it in to charge.

I think I'll be a Nexus fan for life ;)

I've got Rogue Recovery 1.3.0 on the Xoom. When I try to wipe Dalvik cache, I get the following error message:

Error mounting /data!

When I got to Mounts and Storage menu and try to mount data, I get the following error:

Error mounting /data!

If I wipe user data, I don't get any errors - but it doesn't look like the user data has been wiped.

I reflashed Rogue Recovery again today, still having the same problems.

Anyone experience something similar?

I did encrypt the tablet. Could that be causing the issue?

I've not run into a similar issue with my Evo...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paretosoup:
Thanks for the views. I think encryption is the problem. Had to fast boot and unlock the OEM to clear away user data.

Pardon my noobieness. First android, first smartphone.

Okay, I rooted with zergrush. Success.

Installed safestrap. Success.

I want to install THE ARCTIC 2.30. I read that I need to wipe data/factory reset.

So I installed Titanium backup free. I went to backup/restore>batch>

If I back up "All user apps + System Data", I will have the same everything after installing rom, but with a new rom. Correct?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] EasyToRememberUsername:
Nobody knows? I thought this would be rather simple?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
Don't back up system data, only user apps. It if you do backup system data, don't restore once you flash the new ROM.

System data from stock could screw everything up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soulman1980:
First off, this forum rocks. First post but have read a tremendous amount since learning to root and rom my Thunderbolt.

I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus (CDMA), and decided to try the "one-click root" which left me with the followign problem.

It seemed to work ok, however when I booted into recovery, recovery failed to load and I got the android w/ exclamation.

I tried a few other things to no avail, at one point I hit a volume up and down and got a limited clockwork menu on the screen, one which was factory wipe (as I was intending to install a ROM).

The wipe hung, so I pulled the battery and was left in a loop.

I booted back into fastboot, and it shows as unlocked, but I can't get it to show as a device in ADB.

I'm assuming this may be a driver issue. I did re-download the Android SDK but this didn't seem to make a difference.

I get the USB connection, but the phone displays "Fastboot Command Read Error -2147483647". I did try to kill server and try again as I saw suggested in some other posts but no luck.

In device manager it shows as "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" for the driver 2.9.310.1125.

I'm thinking fastboot should be a non-samsung branded driver?

Anyhelp is appreicated.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
When you boot back into fastboot look under device manager on your computer and you will probably find a yellow question mark by your device. You will need to download the Samsung driver and manually install it at that screen. Then you can fastboot oem lock and then fastboot oem unlock and that should fix your boot loop issue. The android with exclamation point is the factory recovery, if you rooted and still have root download rom manager in the market and flash clockworkmod through it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
definitely check for any drivers, but i haven't heard anybody needing to re-lock & unlock before. once you have the drivers you should be able to use 'fastboot' from the fastboot screen. not adb. after your drivers, type 'fastboot devices' and see if anything comes up.

also, if you can get into clockwork recovery, look at your device manager again for yellow errors....often there is another driver that doesn't install itself properly; the one that allows you to use adb while in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
Fastboot OEM lock and the Fastboot OEM unlock is a known fix to correct a loop soft brick issue that he noted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
which is because it is just doing a factory wipe correct? if he fixes his drivers & fastboot issue, he should be able to just flash an image without wiping the whole phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
I guess in some aspect yes but if the phone is not softbricked anymore that he should be fine not doing it. Most of the time the ADB issue is like you stated that when you boot into fastboot the driver is not recognized so you need to do a manual install to fix it. If his battery pull left the phone stuck in a boot loop he will have to re-lock and then unlock to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soulman1980:
You guys really are a godsend.

So, the drivers all seemed good and installed properly (no exclamation or question mark in Device Manager).

Ultimately, I knew there was a driver issue so I just went to a different computer (running win7 64). Coulnd't get that to work, then found drivers arn't supported. I also found the PDANET work around.

This allowed me to install the driver and fastboot WAS able to detect the device.

Following some advice and some other posts I tried "fastboot oem lock", which worked successfully.

I then rebooted, was still in a loop, then pulled the battery.

I ran "fastboot oem unlock", then rebooted.

This time I got past the "google" screen and got the graphic screen.

This sat for awhile (3-4 minutes)??

Then it rebooted again (I almost cried) and I was back to the google logo. Again, it went past this point and displayed the graphical animation again.

Than, on the second time around came the "Welcome!" screen!!!!!!

As well as a rush of relief that is indescribable....

I spent 5 minutes living as Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Boogie Nights sitting in his car outside the party - then did a human xanax reboot and am happy to go to bed!

I'm only posting all of this in detail as an update, and so it is available for anyone else who may come into this problem.

It seems there are many ways to get stuck into this boot-loop besides what I did.

NOW - the next problem....

I'm in my phone, everything works. HOWEVER, I apparantly have a corrupt or bad install of Clockworkmod on my phone.

Do I just try everything again from scratch, or is there something I should do differently to reinstall CWM Recovery?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
glad you got booted. drivers are supported for windows 7 64x, using them currently btw.

i would download a new copy of cwm, confirm its md5 checksum first, and flash it again if you think its corrupt, or if you have rom manager you should be able to do it from there.

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
Glad you got it fixed. The lock and unlock fixes the boot loop issues as you found out. I would root your phone with cf-root using adb which you can find here on xda. Then install clockworkmod through rom manager which you can download free in the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soulman1980:
Thanks again guys, all is good in the hood.

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if one of the developers can look at here. It's about a frequency in the kernels that may improve our battery life. Untill now all the kernels are working really good, but i was wondering if one of the developers can make this frequency called "Deep Sleep" working when we don't use our phone much. If someone can make this freq working more than the others when we don't use the phone i think we are going to have a perfect battery life! Thanks!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253853

This is the thread of the x10 kernel. There you can see that the deep sleep is using more than the minimum frequency. I think that this frequency is using some low voltage or something like that!
[XPERIA X8 General] RodrigoOgasawara:
Looks great this kernel to X10,the devs make lots of things on it,look how many CPU governors they have!And these deep sleep seen great too!

Hope our devs will take a look and see what features they can bring to our X8!:)

Description

This is a small mod for the stock ICS keyboard that re-orders the smileys into the same places they were on the Gingerbread keyboard, with the option of replacing the ":-!" character with a "<3" one instead. May be useful to people who have been using Gingerbread or CM7 for a while and instinctively "know" where to slide their finger to for smileys, and are getting frustrated by the new layout. Or are just a bit OCD ;).

Requirements

Should work on any ICS ROM, not for Gingerbread. Flash with ClockworkMod. Usual rules for my stuff, please don't mirror.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TheManicGibbon:
It was certainly a big thing on Gingerbread but I would think if there isn't something available at the moment, there will be soon. However, you might want to try this app as it is essentially the same as the stock keyboard but with more customisation options. Hope this helps :)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jallen1788:
I have been trying to figure out for awhile how to modify the ICS keyboard to remove the dashes (nose) from the smileys.

When I decompress the LatinIME.apk, I can't find anywhere in the /res folder where it defines these strings in any xml files. I did find in resources.arsc, the smiley strings, but I think resources.arsc is compiled, so when I edited it, nothing really happened.

Would it be possible to remove the dashes from the smileys? How were you able to edit the smileys? Any insight or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TxJ0k3r:
I get a strange sound when my phone is set on vibrate that wasn't like how it was when I first got the phone.

It sounds as if something is loose on the inside or something else (not sure)

I got this Galaxy s2 Epic 4g touch on the 26th of December and the vibrate was as quiet as could be but now it's kind of noisy which is the reason I switched to this phone from the Evo as well as major Hardware upgrades.

I have tried taking out my external SD card to see if it was that but that wasn't the issue.

Although when I put my finger on the metal housing for the SD card itself, it doesn't make the strange noise when vibrating?

I am really wanting to figure out what the heck the problem is.

Google'd about this issue and I found someone with a similar issue but he posted on a thread and the question was not answered unfortunately.

My questions:

1.Has there been issues regarding this already? (Searched, no results)
