Never used screen protector or case on the gnex. Dropped a couple times but only from leg height into carpet. Never put coins or keys in the same pocket and my screen looks beautiful :)

And the GalNex doesn't have Gorilla Glass. I hear it's just as good, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
I've been pretty lucky, too. Screen still pristine despite putting it in my pocket with change once or twice by accident. I usually try to be extra careful with it, though. I've only dropped it onto carpet so far.

Edit: Oh, BTW, when I go to the beach I just put it in a plastic resealable freezer-bag and forget about it. Or just keep one in the car in case it rains or something.

Got the phone on launch day (12/15/11) and have 2 minor scratches in the screen... No case or screen protector on it. I do have a baby who likes to try and eat it though... :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Yes, but what about your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I use a screen protector on mine only because I do a lot of physical activities. I've only replaced it once, when my device got replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpalo:
I never use covers or protectors. Got few 0,5 cm scratches but they don't really bother. Would maybe buy some paste to fill them, if ran into some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scarmon25:
Hahah. Had to laugh.

I can say about the same. I don't use a screen protector. Mine has a couple small scratches that can only be seen when looking at it in direct light and tilting the handset. This phone fares pretty well for what it is. But like the other guy said, its almost new Nexus time. I usually resell my handsets but I think I will be keeping this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Zero scratches in 9 months. Not even smallest. And all of that time my GNex has been "naked".

Now please excuse me, i gotta find some wood and knock it three times.

Have a couple little hairline scratches that you can only see if the screen is off. Nothing major, still bothers me though occasionally
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
So anyone not have scratches? I love this phone naked and if, case or no, it's gonna scratch, I may as well go naked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I don't use any screen protectors and screen is ok, no scratches! I use only the silicone case sometimes to protect my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
I drop it all the time and it's still pristine. I don't have a case or anything either.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickenfeeder:
One tiny scratch. Never used screen protectors, and to be honest never will. Just have to be careful. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henryke99:
I have the Nexus 2 weeks now and no scratches using a 2 bucks screen protector from ebay.

But I actually have a problem in the right down bottom side screen...

I don't know what happenned, but that part was a lil bit up from the phone, and that caused a minor mark on my screen, like if i got it and bent a little up...

So I've pushed it down again and still working just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Yeah the right (portrait) side of my GalNex is higher than the left side- more separating screen from surfaces on the left side... For me at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Had mine since first released by VzW. Incipio case, never a screen protector. No scratches in almost a year.

Swyped from my ASUS TF700T...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pbgong:
I have a very minor scratch toward the bottom of the screen. You don't really notice it unless you look for it. I don't use a screen protector but have a Seidio case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wind784:
No scratches on screen on GN or Nexus S use both naked. Been lucky during uncoordinated moments. Don't put anything else in pocket with it ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandiculator:
I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Briefly used a screen protector on my Nexus One but it quickly got removed. No scratches on any of my devices even though I'm in the double digits for times I've dropped my phone. Even naked too!

Knock on wood, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
You were naked last time you dropped the phone? TMI...:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I have a Ringke Slim Case and XO SP.

I noticed the case is making tiny scratches on the rim of the phone. Almost unnoticeable even when looking at them directly.

The screen had protection as soon as I could. So its good. I do think about taking it off but it doesn't bother me. The XOs are pretty good the longer you use it. Nice and smooth, really no complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HashTagHell:
Not a single scratch here, on the the screen nor the device itself. I've had a screen protector on since the second day I had it, and it's going on a year now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlgator:
Why would you have a scratch with a screen protector from day one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:

OK my PC froze and rebooted in the ODIN modem flash process. Now my phone only has a solid blue light in the top right corner (status light)

I can't get to odin download mode, or android recovery.

Any help here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
do you have a usb jig to force it into download mode? sorry to say man but you might be bricked. try taking out your battery and push the power button and hold with battery out for like 10 minutes. leave the battery out for another 20. hook it up to your computer with no battery try to put it in download mode again. if that doesn't work you may need a jtag as its more than likely hard bricked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhard1:
usb jig?

I will try those right now.

Thank you very much for your info :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayprobg:
Unplug your phone and remove the battery, put the battery back in, try to put it back in download mode. If that doesn't work you will have to take it to sprint and hope they exchange it, I think I answered this question earlier today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhard1:
I've tried pulling the battery. Same thing, just blue light.

It has a bad ESN, can't go back to sprint. Samsung maybe...

I found the jig you were talking about, I bought one on ebay. Fingers crossed that'll work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
ya you might need to have it jtag. good luck man hope you don't need to do that man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhard1:
jtag?

What's that?

[General Questions and Answers] mafiu95:
Hey there!

Which phone would you recommend to a person which wants an android phone for gaming(minecraft, gta III, asphalt), music and internet(youtube, internet radio, websites, etc.). Better the battery, better the phone. I'm probably not gonna change roms and i'm okey with locked bootloader, but I'll root the device and I would like to overclock it to get the max performace :)!

I've got 4 phones on my list as they are cheap.

I prefer defy's because they more resistance I think(you don't want to know what happend to my last phone :P)

- Motorola Defy (~180€)

- Motorola Defy+ (~200€)

- Samsung S i9000 (~200€)

- Samsung S+ i9001 (~190€)

If you have any other phone that is good, write it. My previous phone was HTC Touch Pro 2 with Android 2.2 if it would help anyone :)

Thanks for help

So I decided to go with the bse screen protector because it had the best coverage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detonation:
I've tried a lot of different brands of wet protectors and I've found that over time they all tend get these permanent dents/knicks in them, despite being "self healing" and scratch proof. A lot of the times its just small marks you can only see in the glare, but it still drives me nuts. I have since switched to dry static cling protectors and have been much more satisfied. I'm actually currently just using the generic protector that came with my Diztronic case, but I had a Seidio Ultimate Crystal on my Droid X and was very happy with it.

So far I am using ADWLauncher EX, Aldiko, Astro, Elixir, and Extended Controls. I mainly want my Nook for reading books so does anyone have a suggestion for anything better or that will combine some of those?

Also looking for a simple calendar app which I have not been able to find the right one. All I want is a simple text showing the date and month like "16 January or January 16th". Nothing else, one line of text and no other graphics. If this was tied to a full blown calender that I could add stuff to is a plus but not really needed. I have tried simi clock, simple calendar widget, and elixir so far.

There are probably other options, but I've been using Fancy Widgets and it has an option to add the date to the clock widget. I personally have an all-in-one widget at the top of the screen with time, date, and weather.

I also use Android Agenda Widget on my phone, and it shows the current date with a summary of upcoming calendar events.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jgaf:
I use smooth calendar widget is very simplistic. For the date in text you could make it yourself using minimalistic text.

I just got my microUSB to HDMI adapter from Monoprice and it works well. However, is it supposed to maintain current to the phone? I have it all plugged in and I get an orange light on the phone but I lost 10% battery power using it for 15 minutes. Doesn't seem right?

P.S. Monoprice customer service is excellent. I can't speak to the longevity of the products but the service is excellent.

What is a 1A wall plug?

For the record, I am using the OEM plug connected to a microUSB cable I bought from Monoprice.

Uh oh. Did we get screwed?

[HTC Rezound] Ozy666:
I used an AC outlet 1 amp USB charging plug to power the system with a standard micro-USB cable.

People have observed problems with charging the Rezound through a car dock, so maybe it's related to that problem as well.
[HTC Rezound] PaulQ602:
I tried charging using the Monoprice cable and it charged fine. If we were unsure before, I can say for sure now that it is the adapter. I don't know if it's the one sold by monoprice or, like you said, a bug in the system. Guess I can only watch 60 min. of video (tops and end up with a dead phone) or I'm out $7... kind of think I'm out the money... and no need for the cables I bought with it. Hope others read this.

The other Monoprice cables are fine. No beef with them.

...Sent from my Tab
[HTC Rezound] PaulQ602:
I asked Monoprice about it. Here's what they said....

----------

Hello Mr. Paul,

I understand that there may be an issue with your MHL adapter you had purchased. One thing to keep in mind is that our phones are really powerful now and draw a huge amount of power. So one thing to first consider is your power draw, secondly remember most androids can tell whether it’s connected to a computer usb port or AC power supply by checking if the data pins are shorted together. Since the data pins will be in use with the MHL adapter it will never register as an AC power supply and will not draw more than 500ma of power available to a computer usb port. This is not a limitation of the MHL adapter, but rather a design flaw in the implementation of MHL itself on the phone and perhaps design flaw is a little harsh but with the implementation of the MHL on the phone, not the adapter itself. Hopefully this clears up some things for you and if the adapter isn’t going to quite work out for you I can still issue an RMA for a return for you if you like I would just need an order number to get the process started.

Thank you

-----------

Again, good customer service. Unfortunate about the phone limitations.

It is a hardware issue, the official HTC MHL adaptor does the exact same thing. (I have two of them)

[HTC Rezound] Ozy666:
Yeah, I thought it might be something like that. People were able to fix the car dock charging issue by shorting the data pins, but obviously that won't work for the MHL adapter.
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
I ordered one from monoprice too, I'll test it when I get home from vacation.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I wonder if a Y adapter out of the phone to split the adapter and a charging cable would work? If there is such a thing for micro usb.
[HTC Rezound] Ozy666:
Don't think so. The phone won't draw the higher 'AC' charging current unless it sees that the data pins are shorted. If the data pins are shorted, you won't be able to get data out for the HDMI connection.

Basically, while it's nice to have only one port to keep things simple, a separate HDMI port and USB port for charging would have worked better in this case.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well then I'm returning for a GNex. :p

If it's tethered via usb to a computer with an HDMI out to TV/receiver can you stream from the Rezound? And would the charge via usb be enough to keep it alive for a movie?

If not then I'm definitely dropping mhs. Connection problems and this issue... Bah.
[HTC Rezound] Ozy666:
Maybe depends on what else was drawing power on your phone. If you turned off everything else, maybe you would have enough charge to stream a movie. My battery was dropping pretty fast, but I didn't try to optimize by turning off mobile data, wireless, etc...
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
That would be exactly the same for the same reason, while connected to your wall charger the phone can receive 1000mA and will be in "AC" mode, when connected to your computer or another device which uses the data pins your phone will be in "USB" mode and can only receive 500mA, since your phone is capable of using as much as 1000mA this will not be enough to charge your phone if you are doing anything power intensive like say playing a movie etc. It will only supplement the battery power and keep it from draining so fast.

It should make it through a movie though. I have not tried mhl so I don't know what it draws from the phone. If you instal "battery monitor widget" from the market it will tell you what your draw is and will keep a history log of it with posts every 5 min, try playing a movie then go and check the log and see what it drains on average.
