This why I wrote to remove/delete crappy Samsung Account App...

rcz4775900 (Boring)

If you start Samsung Apps it checks 3 Apps Version...

1.

Selfcheck...

8d7uw8z551	--->Kona.exe

Kona not work proper without BDAgent... so:

2.

BDAgent Version check...

36cbr89p8t	--->BDAgent.exe

3.

Annoying boring Samsung Account App

rcz4775900	--->Bori.exe

So each forced update means 3 OAP/ZIP files are downloaded... and installed...

It seems very often problems after update... :eek:

I tried to delete samsungApps and samsungAccount folders with sTune, so they were restored to the default one after a restart.

Then I try to access to my samsung account in Settings without updating the two apps by opening samsung apps.. result is the same, same error popup, the only difference is that the popup has a different layout since it is the 'old' samsungAccount app.. :(

a non sense bug it's hard to solve...

@ guari

Thanx.

Maybe different reasons for same annoying problem...

Please, which Firmware you used?

I have expirience with XXLA1 DBT...

Maybe other Firmware has other Version of Account...

We could compare... if same Version...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
my firmware is S8500XXLA1/S8500ITVLA1;

my SamsungAccount (Bori) version is: 0.0.45;

my 'default' SamsungAccount (the .oap into AppEx folder) version is: 0.0.1;

notice that the problem is not started when I did the update of samsungApps or samsungAccount, but when I simply reboot the phone without the SIM inserted, before that moment I never have had any problems to login with my account on the phone (bada 1.0, 1.2 or 2.0), after that moment I could no longer login on the phone (and also can't register a new account.. the error is the same)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
The problem is to differ between Samsung Server database problem...

External problems nearly out of reach...

Or problems with internal crap, like Apps installed on your handset...

If for instance problems with Samsungs internal database... your IMEI + more infos are stored somehow, somewhere...

No idea how many Gigabyte of your private stuff is logged and stored...

Samsung Account is complex...

You could try to create new Samsung Account with blablabEmail@yesIhaveEmail.coma

Then check if you can access...

Remember... your IMEI is now registered in Nirvana of Samsung...

Samsung Account is IMEI + Email ...

Email you could change...

IMEI NOT so easy...

Try other Email...

See if same shix happen.

Good luck.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
I've already tried to access with another account but the given error is always the hated one. I think it is a problem with the database stored into the phone, but I haven't found where the database is stored in phone memory (eg. the others account credentials -mails or activesync accounts- are stored into 'registry' folder..)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
If this would be true... then Fullflash would be the solution... in theory...

But I think it is more an problem on Samsung site... on Samsung Server/database...

Sorry, at the moment no further ideas...

@ guari

What exactly happens, if you start Samsung Apps and try Download something?

You forced to enter your account?

You got an Error message?

Maybe please make Screenshots...

Maybe it is really an Security thingy...

Maybe you try to log with WinComm...

Maybe WinComm shows more details why login fail...

Maybe your IMEI is blocked now by Samsung...

Maybe you should ask Samsung Support...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
on the phone, I'm forced to enter my account username and password (that always return the same error), there is the normal popup that say I'm not logged in and ask me to login, then input credentials, accept and.. error popup appear.

on kies I'm able to login, download and install what I want (if I use the on-air installation of the samsung web site then it fails when the phone needs to download the app since it needs to be logged in to download from samsung server..)

how can I use WinComm? is there a quick tutorial?

ehm.. ask to Samsung Support (as any other company..) is like to ask to an answering machine, I sent them some messages a month ago by using their 'Cyber Service Center' (on samsungApps site or kies they removed the MyQna input section and on the SellerOffice this is an off-topic problem), they simply ignored my question (they didn't read my question or they didn't find the answer to copy-paste to me..).

May be a full-flash or an hard-reset will work, but I've lots of things to backup and restore and I prefer to keep it as last option.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Only as info again...

If Samsung Apps forced you to update...

Then instead only 1 App, 3 Apps are updated...

Samsung Apps
8d7uw8z551--->Kona.exe

"Manager" install/download/etc...
36cbr89p8t	--->BDAgent.exe

Samsung Account App
rcz4775900	--->Bori.exe

You can see this, after first initial Start after Update...

So if Account Manager also updates... sometimes problems occured...

[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
No idea what I exactly did... :D :o

But you can see also this... See Screenshots.

Also funny...

rcz4775900 installed on SD Card... :eek:

I think Samsung increased Security/Supervisor function of BDAgent...

36cbr89p8t

Because this thing is background process...

I was researching because I have seen people skin black iPhone's (bleh) and such to be white and I thought it looked awesome. I found a site that has a very huge reputation and customer feedback that now supports the Galaxy Nexus! I already ordered my white skin! These are awesome because they do not add any bulk and look legit!

Will post pictures of just a few examples, they have 8 pages of skins though! 9.99 for the skin, not bad at all :) just an FYI for anyone that also wanted to do this,

Link:http://www.istyles.com/samsung-skins-samsung-galaxy-nexus-skins-c-292_606_1061.html?page=1

Caution : I dont know if its mistake or not from them, but looks like it does not have cut out for glowing notification LED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
Nice!!! I'll be getting the white one!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
What I got, I can't wait :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
Then I'll wait for feedback from you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Weird idk why it did that lol thanks for the catch! Updated the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Should be by Wednesday or Thurs! Will post actual pics also w/review
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I'm looking forward to your review. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riz157:
Looks good but a no no for me if notification led is covered. Mind you The white skin would look brilliant with white theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you can just use a hole puncher to make the led notification.

if you want it all white, soon there will be white nexus shells available and mercury (korea company that makes cases and protectors for mobile phones)makes the multi colour screen protectors for many phones including the nexus are already available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Looks sweet, looking forward to your review!

Subbed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riz157:
Not very good at making holes could ruin it. Shells will probably make significantly bulkier which I don't want.

I will probably wait for feedback on skin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
I got mine from skinit.com

i will post pics in few minutes i made really similar design as i will have on my phone just waiting for my invisible shield to arrive

EDIT: Look into attachments

I'm waiting on the white chassis with the white extended battery door.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joooooeeeee:
Gelaskins also has skins for those interested. I can't post links yet due to post count but they're at:

gelaskins.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Looks good! I found a couple different sites that had the white but it was the same white, was installation easy and did it come with hole for the notification l.e.d?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Will add to o.p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
this one is my friends (i made the design online on their site and he applied on his phone for now) he said it was easy , and skinit is better since you can do your own design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I much prefer using gelaskins myself since they only seem to be the ones that cover the full back of the nexus while other sites just cover the battery door and a strip underneath it. Plus like many other sites you can make custom skins for yourself with custom designs.

Plus they are a local business. Gotta support the local economy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I mean the actual frame/shell, not a protective case that goes on top.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Too late for me lol but glad I started the thread for others to see all the options out there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WillEat4F00d:
Does anyone have a skin from gelaskins on their gnex? More specifically, a Verizon one with the extended battery cover? And it looks like theirs come with a hole for the led light also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r34p3rex:
For those of you that already got it, how does the skin feel? Does it have a smooth finish?

Also, how is the detailing on the skin? Sharp, blurry?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joooooeeeee:
I have the white version from istyles ordered. It shipped today so I'll get some pictures up as soon as it comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
did they send you a shipping conf.? I ordered mine Monday night and its hanging on payment accepted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joooooeeeee:
Yeah, they just gave me a usps tracking number earlier today. I ordered on Monday and recieved an email that my order had been approved on the same day.

The black wood grain looks amazing...

will wait for the reviews. good find though.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Ah got mine. Expected d date is the 17th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyase9:
Want to order one of the istyles ones as well....the black wood grain one looks great....would this one look better in gloss or matt?

Has anyone been able to confirm if the istyles ones have a hole for the indicator light yet?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Me and another guy get ours from Istyles tomorrow. I believe gloss would be better. Matte seems dull lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Actually just reread, matte might look pretty cool for wood grain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
does anyone know if there is actually a place to order the White Frame and battery door. I can get the current color one for like $18 and its super easy to replace.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ~WindzStriker~:
Gelaskin seems better as mention by another forum member, it covers the Full back of the phone while other only cover the battery housing and the strip underneath it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
I just ordered mine from Gelaskins.com. It was pretty cool. I was able to use my own image, and it was really easy to use.

Only down side so far is the 14 day delivery time. Eh, I'll forget about it then it will be like getting a present.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon 4G LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
I just put my white one on, I think it looks freaking sexy:D I unfortunately wont have another camera to upload the pics until the morning. But I got the one from istyles.

Packaging was amazing! The front when on easy for me, the back took 4-5 tries (stays very sticky so you don't have to freak out about doing perfect). Overall I love it, only problem which is pretty minor to me is that it does dim notification led unless in low light.

Overall, 8/10 due to notification light and sides.

Will upload pics and update OP tomorrow.

if only the bumper is covered as well (gelaskins) :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I ordered a skin from Gelaskins last week and and was shipped on Friday so hopefully it comes in the next couple of days since it is being sent within the same city. I will be sure to take pics and post once I get it.

I also ordered one from skinit.com and I will be taking pics of it also for comparison sakes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Due to me not having another camera this is the best I can do right now, had to bounce off a mirror lol.. This skin is from istyles.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
hmmmmm Im rather intrigued. I wish the back was a little more covered but overall it looks nice and the front looks amazing. How is the material? Is it made from a solid piece of adhesive? and is it easily removable if one messes up application?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Interested to see how the Gelaskin compares to others. I have a Gelaskin on my old Kobo, tough as hell and durable. The material seems to have a cross weave type of reinforcement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
The material is one solid piece for the front, one solid piece for battery door and one solid piece for little spot under battery door. The material is amazing, very sticky and yes it does allow to pull off and redo. I probably messed up on back 6 times but it still went on amazing once I got it, just don't press too firm unless you know you got it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
NOTE: I dont care about the front since I have a screen protector on it and I dont want to remove it, besides I like the black bezzle around the screen anyways. It also comes with a little sticker that covers the battery only which I find stupid since it should go around the whole bevel part on the back not just the width of the battery.

So I got my skin today from skinit.com and I must say, personally, I am not all that impressed with it.

First off I dont know how these people cut the thing because it doesnt

fit the back cover at all. As can be seen by the picture the bottom (apologies on the pic quality, I kinda got a shakey hand, plus it was taken with the nexus phone) part of the battery cover is showing, which I expect to cover fully and perhaps a little over hang is acceptable. and it shows a bit of the battery cover around the camera as well.

The paper quality is kinda cheep too to be honest. It feels just like a high quality glossy paper that one can print out of their printer themself that just happens to have a sticky back side that is peel and stickable. I was hoping for a more sorta rubbery feel that could maybe give some friction so it would be easier to hold onto and not have slip out of your hands.

The actual print quality on the other hand looks pretty good I have no complaints about that. :P

Once I get my gelaskin order (I have seen some others in person that looked great) I will show it too and give a brief review on the same three points as well...because those are the most important points that I look for. All I know is that it is a good thing I bought this on discount; because I would be very pissed if I paid full price for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Ya that cut looks awful. Is there a difference between GSM and CDMA that would cause that?

I am looking forward to my gelaskin coming in. It shipped yesterday. I called the customer service for gelaskin and I was very impressed! A real person picked up the phone on the second ring. They were very helpful and friendly. I have high hopes for the product!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon 4G LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
That was my initial thought when it was put on. But even if there is a difference (which I dont think there is, and the only difference I believe is just the width of the phone (gsm being thinner than cdma phones)) it wasnt noted on their website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Im about to put the order in for a custom gelaskins. Its a bummer though, I like the istyles one better because of the front coverage but they cant be customized which I really want!

Whatcha guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dotson817:
Let me know how that one fits it looks like they cover the sides
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
I am thinking of doing the limited edition battery cover , still looking for a high resolution image

any body know the optimum resolution for the Nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Would someone with a CDMA Nexus be kind enough to measure the length of their battery door for me? It seems like on the bill it shows the model number of the Verizon Nexus specifically which if different would explain the size difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
I thought about this as well, but decided it would be like putting dual exhaust and a hood scoop on a 6 cylinder mustang.

I think it is better to make something unique than to try and make a knock off. But if you decide to do let us know how it turns out.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon 4G LTE.

Anyone else receive theirs. Any pics?

I am still waiting on mine. Gelaskins said it could take 15 business days once shipped. I know the USPS is slow but my gosh this is taking forever.

A few should have hopefully they can get on the forums and post some pics :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm most interested in the "anti-skid" properties of the Gela. Caseless and skinless my GN doesn't stay put on my passenger seat, or in my stereo DIN pocket (with a tool box liner in it) when I drive spiritedly. My old phone, with a case, stayed put, but I want to avoid a case if possible.

So I expect a fully anti-skid write up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I got my skin on Thursday from Gelaskins and completely forgot about taking pics to show everybody here. Some of you may remember that I got one from skinit.com also and to not go into much detail about it again, it sucked basically. You can read my mini review of theirs here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22852137&postcount=47 .

But anyways onto my Gelaskin.

(Full scale image can be seen here http://oi42.tinypic.com/2ezqxvp.jpg)

So first off, the cut on my gelaskin is amazing. It fits the battery plate perfectly and around the seperate strips too around the peremeter are perfect also. I just screwed up the placing of the thin strip at the top of the phone above the battery plate. But compared to the skinit skin this is 100x better. Another thing to note is that these are completed removable and readjustable but I wouldnt suggest doing very often because the stickiness of the backing can wear off.

The paper quality is a texturized piece of paper. While it can't be seen in the picture, when angled in the correct lighting you can see that the picture is printed on some diamond shaped paper which I would assume it is used for gripping the skin better.

Print quality is great too (although the picture was one of their images provided on the site and not my own so that could help with it) it might not look it in the picture because (a) I dont have a steady hand and (b) I was using my old Captivate to take the picture.

All in all though, this skin is much better than the other one and if I had to choose just one place to get my skins from it be definitely from this place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
For the front, are you guys putting the skin over a screen protector? Is the double layering noticeable, especially if the screen protector doesn't cover the whole front, but the skin does? Do you get a crease?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
I just saw the white skin on website and it has cut out for notification light now?

Would be pretty sweet if they added that cutout

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 309041291a:
I don't see why everyone is having a hard time with choosing between Gelaskins and Skin it (essentially better back or front coverage of the screen). Why not just order a white skin from both :P? Then you can get the full back coverage from Gelaskins' skin and the really good front coverage from Skin it :D! You'd need to fork out some extra cash though.

The only problem with me and skins is I ALWAYS apply them wrong and ruin them.... :'(...
