[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
Hi, i have been thinking about upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus from a HTC Desire.

Now im looking at purchasing one from Amazon.de as its 495.00 EUR, which works out at around £414 + £7 shipping, compared to the £450 Amazon.co.uk want for it.

I know the one from Amazon.de will have a European charger, however i presume it just charges with a Micro USB cable, so i could just use my PC to charge like i always did with the Desire?

Also for anyone who purchased one in Germany is any text on the back of the phone in English or German?

If anyone could answer either question that would be great :D

Thanks very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_alien:
It will charge on every Micro USB charger.

Only stuff written on the phone is "Google" and "Samsung".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
Thanks for the quick reply! :)

I got mine instore at Cex. It had never been even set up. I got the first ever update pushed as soon as I put my SIM in. Cex usually offer 5% discount for cash purchases so I got mine for about £413, which to me is a better situation than buying from Amazon as within the first year I have warranty options with both Cex (for a direct exchange if I have any faults) or Samsung (if Cex don't happen to have any in stock). Also with Cex I can exchange to the purchased value within twelve months, so if mine happened to break in four months and the S3 is a preferable phone I can simply add my £413 to the cost of the swap. I think I just got lucky to find one at my local store though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
I ordered it 11:30pm Monday night from Amazon.de, it arrived at my house around 9am Friday morning from what i'm told.

Very happy with the phone! Got the OTA Update to 4.0.2, then unlocked the bootloader and rooted!

Everything is great, impressed with the battery life compared with my Desire too, got over 4 hours (screen on) on with its first charge. The camera is not bad at all to be honest, not really sure why it got hammered in the reviews. Yes they might be slightly better cameras out there on other devices, but tbh i didn't buy the phone for the camera. The pictures are great for a mobile device, as is the video recording. My personal oppinnion is its a great all rounder device that is going to be a good mobile for the next 2+ years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gilljoy:
I'm thinking of doing the same thing that you did and importing a nexus from amazon.de

Just have a few questions,

how did you find the setup process? Was it in german or was it in english?

Also did you get stung with any taxes / surcharges?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPenguins:
Hey guys I have this case on the way and and looking for a decent cradle to charge whilst at work on my computer.

I have the 2000mah extended battery but the case apparently fits no problems so just after a cradle that will fit the Neo Hybrid.

Any suggestions?

Looking on ebay for ones around $20 or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcoWPY:
I cannot come up with some suggestion.

But I have to say you shouldn't use the Zenis dock, because it won't fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPenguins:
Thanks for that I will stay away from it

Anyone else have any suggestions

Will the OEM desktop stand work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NEzverins:
Hi there, i just wanted to know the difference between those.

I live in Latvia, which is in Europe and i would like to buy Xperia Play trought paypal, and i saw that those TYPE Xperia's are cheaper then Unlocked. WHY?

Does those, Verizo, AT&T, Sprint won't work with my operator and what's the difference between them?

Can't i buy Verizon for cheaper and then unlock or root it for it to work on my operator?

I just can't understand difference between UNLOCKED and Verizon and those other ones.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
Oh dear god DO NOT GET THE ONE FROM VERIZON. You can't unlock it for free. And R800X looks lame. My neighbor has R800i and it's sick as ****.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Depends on if your carrier is GSM or CDMA. Verizon's version is CMDA only. The rest are GSM only. There are going to be slight incompatibilities between even the GSM models though, so it really just depends on what your carrier is. In Europe though, in general I'd recommend an R800i
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_alien:
Hi,

I recently had to unroot and I backed up all my data from the SD card. After flashing CWM again I (ADB) pushed my backup back onto the SD card. (Yes, I know it's not really a SD card).

Now I can't take any pictures because the camera app throws a permission error. It's not crashing, it simply doesn't save the images.

But a logcat says more then I can:

Can someone please tell me where the permission error is?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dlzinc:
I had the same issue as you.

The underlying permissions might be messed up. See if the permissions in /data/media look correct. (Things shouldn't be owned by root/0)

This worked for me -- install busybox, then this:

./busybox chown 1023:1023 -R /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandages:
dlzinc: you just fixed a huge issue for me. I was having issues removing files in /sdcard, and my media players couldn't view the album art in my music folder. It was driving me nuts. The command you posted fixed it.

I have no idea how the /data/media permissions got messed up :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lokety:
dlzinc: thanks to you, I've resolved my issue of not being able to write to the sdcard on my nexus phone after i upgraded yakju 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 and didn't managed to push busybox over. Installing the latest busybox and changing the owner of /data/media as you suggested worked for me.

For those who may be searching for similar solutions, the symptoms i faced were:

Camera not able to save any photos

SwiftKey not able to update language packs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bellerophon90:
Installed BusyBox, now how do I put in that piece of code?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lokety:
Launch Terminal Emulator, and enter the command there, like so:

cd /system/bin/
./busybox chown 1023:1023 -R /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skols:
dlzinc, thank you so much for this. Your code fixed my issue as well. I went the more round about way of using adb shell from PC when the phone was connected to it via USB to run the code, but the results are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bellerophon90:
I did exactly that and it came up permission denied? How do I fix these permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viper489:
You have to make sure that you are SU in the terminal emulator before you run the command. At the first prompt just type "su" and give the app superuser permission. You should be able to run the command after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bellerophon90:
Thanks guys so much! its fixed now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockingondrums:
This didn't work at at all for me. I have a toro. Does that make a difference?

I think this is happening because I copied my old micro SD pictures to my Win 7 PC, and copied them on to the SGN. So there's an ownership problem on the /data/media/DCIM/Camera folder (bekit thinks) and now it's constantly force closing. I thought it was all the ROMs I was flashing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aleinad42:
Thanks heaps! Camera wouldn't save any images after update to 4.1.1....this fixed the problem...all working now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmmmm82:
sorry but...

can i get a lil noob help here :p Ok so it seems this is the fix i need as i just went to 4.1.1 and pushed my backup - now this issue. Thing is I cant get this busybox command to work (this is the first time using terminal emulator or busy box) so i have both apps installed - but when i go to terminal and input the code i get 'busybox not found'... Is there a way to do without busybox or..? according to the busybox app it has been installed (went through it all). Any help is much appreciated! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skols:
Is busybox installed in that location or somewhere else? On my phone it's in/system/xbin/, not bin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmmmm82:
according to busybox app it says installed to /system/xbin/ ....

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

can this also be done using the gnex toolkit (i otice it has a command line option) ? can you tell me what to type in? :crying: thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skols:
I actually used the adb command from the cmd window after navigating to where my adb.exe was located ("Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" for me). I don't remember everything I did though. :o Before that doing that though, try the terminal emulator first. After you open it, make sure you are SU. If the prompt is a #, then you are. If not, type su and hit enter. You'll have to give the app superuser permissions. After that's done run the following:

cd /system/xbin/

./busybox chown 1023:1023 -R /data/media

That should do it if busybox is installed in /system/xbin/ . If not you could try the gnex toolkit command line option when your phone is plugged into the USB. I don't have that installed on the computer I'm on now, so I can't say for sure. You'll have to navigate to the same place on your phone and run that same busybox command again, but you'll be doing from that command line instead.

I hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmmmm82:
That did it! thanks so much not sure what the issue was but its all good now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skols:
You're welcome! I'm glad it worked for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hjt61:
Thanks guys, this solved my problem with the camera and several other applications, who shows "write errors".

Massive thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0mrade2:
Sorry for pulling out this rather old post, but you saved my life! Last time it happened some months ago I had to lock the bootloader, go stock and then re-unlocking it and so on LOL

Now I understand it's related to internal memory data pulling and pushing trough adb... But I can't understand why do the permissions change? I'm just curious :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dakoop:
What should the permissions be if I just change then via root explorer?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] razorseal:
I need an email app for my AKO email. The stock email app which i really like however is having some problems connecting though :-(

I installed K9 email, but it doesn't seem tablet friendly as it just stretches the screen and they are long and narrow (email subjects)

So is there an app that uses the screen Size of a tablet to its benefit?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kokbosh:
why not try maildroid? Better than k9
[Xoom Themes and Apps] uzi2:
Kaiten works well on both phone and tablet.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ZanshinG1:
The native Gmail tablet app has the best layout IMO

I use the gmail client for all my accounts, but set up gmail to poll my POP/IMAP accounts on the web interface. You can even set it up to reply via the account.

If AKO supports POP/IMAP and the ability to send via that server, why not go this route?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hchxoom:
+1 on kaiten (k10)... I think its the best all around in terms of connectivity, stability, and flexibility, though it doesn't have the best gui.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shemeri:
Try moxier, they have made a tablet version which I use for both my xoom and phone and its great.

PS. if any of yous get them before me...please don't hold back to give your reviews on them. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:

You can actually order these through daydeal.com for a bit cheaper.

Has anyone tried this case?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EYON-PC-TPU...696628?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336f9a03f4

It also has dual layers and seems to be less bulky than topic's subject case.

Upd. Ops. It seems has one layer. Just edges are TPU(soft), back is PC (hard).

Let's say your feelings after you got it. How big is it, how it feels etc.

Would be great to write small review.

Btw from where have you bought it?

I can order from Amazon, but shipping is high.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
Is that hard plastic on the outside and then silicone on the inside? It looks like silicone on the outside :S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] emo99:
Btw found it on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Hyb...078235?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c62bc725b

Description says

"Two piece assembled case (Soft Rubber outside+Hard Plastic inside)"

What I can found out from comments - quality is not good.

Should wait for Case-Mate case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
It should be the opposite. The hard on the outside and then soft on the inside! Arg. What a pain!

Of course I'll wait for casemate they make fantastic cases. But come one already CM! Come out with a case :D A good one ;) with some colors too!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
videos of the cases:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
lol....but the soft silicon outside might be able to absorb more shock. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I'd prefer my device to be cushioned on the inside rather than the outside. Thats my personal preference I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] heavylift:
I bought 2 cases like this, one just like this one, and another black and blue.

i will leave feedback when they are received and post pictures if no one does until then.

EDIT : can´t post a picture because i am noob, the case is the rugded one the OP ask for.

to OP, I live in portugal and in amazon the 2 sellers that sell this cases didn´t ship here to ,so I bought then in the site of one of those sellers, allready mentioned in this thread, right about here :

daydealDOTcom/product.php?productid=64164
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:
there are no videos in your links - didn't you check them before posting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Rasa11:
That wouldnt even make sense.

So you drop it and the hard outside breaks or cracks? Not very logical.

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
oops...excuse me...they are updated now. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
really??? Check out all these cases. I have some for multiple devices, and they're the best. Soft on the inside cushion your device, and the hard exterior allows for easy sliding in and out of your phone from your pocket.

Those are just the ones I picked up in 45 seconds. I'd imagine since CM and Otterbox do it, it must not be such a bad idea ;).

regardless, I imagine it's all about likes. I personally like my phone to be cushioned inside a case, rather than pressed up against hard plastic. If you like it the other way around, thats fine. It's all about choice :) I used those CM ones for my blackberries for a while. I got some for my iphones and for my SGSII. I can honestly say that I've never broken a phone inside one of those cases :) So why knock something that's just working the way it is!

Take care!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
Actually it seems far more logical to me.

In case of a drop I could care less if the case cracks but the phone remains unscathed...if anything it means that the case has done it's job.

;)

EDIT: After seeing the video of the more rugged looking one I went for it. I could see it being pretty nice for situations when I will be out and about on paved or concrete surfaces. It seems to have the silicone inside with a hard case exterior except at the corners where it is just extra thick with silicone.

I really like the ebay one and the DayDeal one, but if one of them is bad, I guess I'll just send it back and complain a bunch until I get my money back!

I had an issue with a Mercury case and the darn seller didn't want to refund or accept it back: He's getting a negative vote. The case didn't even stay on the phone AT ALL!!! It would fall off!! I got two of them, one is good, the other is bad, so I wanted to return the bad one only. Sheesh! Some sellers!

This one guys. It looks cool in the video but the rubber and the plastic are low quality. It might provide protection if it stays on but i doubt it eill
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] heavylift:
ok I just receive 2 of the cases I bought, a black and white and a black and blue just waiting for the all black.

yes they don´t fit as tight as your regular TPU case... thats a fact... the ruber is very soft so it comes out easy... but... NOT AS EASY as coming out with regular handling of the phone or when droping it. yes... i know.. because I have been droping my phone a lot today... and you do it with no problem.. yes the protection is that god.. if been throwing my note as a ball to the ground so it spinsand rolls banging on the ground. and the case didnt come out.

they are more bulky than your regular tpu.. but.. no more than what you expect from that "g-shock" look, and this was the kind of protection i needed because of my job.

I would post pictures of them, but I can´t post pictures , because of few posts.

shipment was about a week and a few days to portugal.

worth a buy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
I got one of these in and I agree with you. It does seem somewhat cheap, but it also seems well above average for protection when compared to my other cases. I do wish that the 'bulges' at the corners came out from the glass a little more though.

All in all, I got what I expected.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] heavylift:
Yes I to got what I was expecting, the rugged look and"de facto" ruggidness (is that a word?) unmeasurably higher
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures. :) Why don't you use an image posting service?

I ordered two cases, and I honestly can't wait for them to come. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fards:
why not get some sugru (or make your own with a 1:1 mix of silicon sealant / cornflour) and make/add some rubber bumpers to a case of your choice ?

I've dropped my nice verus flip case and damaged the corners (much better than my note!) and just made some new silicon corners for that case..

just kidding buddy, thank you for you sugestion, but IMO, those look really bad.. and this cases.. again IMO , look really cool.. and the the extra bulkiness to me is OK, cause people stop asking "what a huge phone wtf?" they know its something else.

I supose if someone used his note as the main phone this ain´t the best case.. but I use the note as a omnipresent tablet-psp (rugded now..) and a BB
