I'm with you on this. Sim toolkit seems to have a "now you see me, now you don't" attitude on the 4.2 and beyond build. I have 2 gnex running both takju. One was straight ota from ics and the sim toolkit sometimes shows then disappears from the app drawer. the other one though was a straight flash of takju 4.2 then ota to 4.2.1 but the sim toolkit is always there. no idea on why the app is like that. i don't really bother since i don't use it but it just gives me that question mark look at times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] payas0:
hello guys. im planning to buy this unit now. do you have any idea where i can find a brand new unit ? around makati.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Don't think official units from smart are still available. Best bet is to check out gray market sellers like Kimstore or widget city
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I bought mine from Intogadgets store in GH Vmall. Smart still has some units but, you will have to have apply a plan.

Is it not okay to buy from gray market here in ph like widget city or kimstore?

Stock ROM, custom user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
That will have to be a preference of the buyer himself. My first gnex is gray as I got it from HK but if I could get something before with official warranty, I'd prefer that

Hey guys, I'm in Metro Manila currently, coming from Bali, Indonesia.

Which radio/baseband are your using here to get decent battery life? Mine is abysmal here, compared to Bali. Battery percentage is dropping like a stone, basically cutting in half, to what I'm used to. Although I have almost always HSDPA with full bars. And I'm on Smart Buddy.

My Nexus is stock 4.2 and rooted and on XXLF1 now. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Go with the radio that came with 4.2. Should be xxlh1. Although I never really had issues with the previous one as well. You most likely are in am area that doesn't have strong signal so it's possible that whatever you choose, juice will drain fast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mixtapes08:
I bought mine from kimstore. :) No problems whatsover, I'm a happy customer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hikaru1223:
I haven't really tried using custom kernels, so how's the battery life? Is it a huge improvement? And I guess I'll be waiting for PA 3+ next year, too lazy to do root, and fix the 0 folder thing on 4.2 ha ha.

I had the same problem, so I did some net searches and it appears that this was intentional by Google due to security reasons on the STK.apk. What I did was set up a Sim Card Lock and rebooted the phone. It will ask you for your pin to activate the sim and then Sim Tool Kit can be used like before :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Good catch. Never really put much attention to it but it's nice to know there's a workaround. And yes, confirming it too. Just tried and did several reboots and it stays
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
Tried to enable this but after entering a pin number, it says "can't change pin lock state, possible incorrect pin entered". Is there a default pin number? I want to bring back the sim tool kit also. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hikaru1223:
I think SIM cards have a default pin of 1234. Unless you changed them before that should be it, though it's advisable to change it in the Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
Thanks. That did it.

What ROM are you guys in?

I'm currently searching for the best ROM with Good battery life, I'm currently on shogun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
you guys know where i can buy an oem extended batt ? or where i can find even the stock batt? it seems my phone came with a class-a batt which isnt bad in performance at all, just wanted a peace of mind that whats inside my phone wont blow it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
It used to be that Hackstern mobile in galleria had the oem extended batt but I think they don't have it anymore so the option for that is eBay. I bought myself a stock batt from Samsung store in virra mall. Cost 1.5k

anyway i can find out how many mah my class A batt has? app or something

Hey guys. Can I ask where I can buy this phone. I've looked everywhere but they don't sell it anymore including Smart (at least that's what they told me). I'm a little bit hesitant in buying it online.

I might have go into buying this phone rather than Nexus 4, which is currently not available plus super OP in the grey market

Thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Your only choice is to get it from gray market sellers since this was never officially released as an unlocked unit. Only Smart carried the phone in the Philippines. You can check out some brick and mortar shops in the malls that carry both NTC and non-NTC registered phones to get this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ngoralph:

What can you say about your nexus 4 compared to galaxy nexus??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Screen is the biggest welcome for me. Came from nexus one slcd then nexus s slcd then gnex with samoled. I honestly like the non samoled screens more than those. Build quality is actually good. No creaks or what have yous. Feels very solid. Volume is definitely louder than the gnex. Size won't matter. They both feel the same. Speed in terms of opening apps is almost the same but the n4 may be a few milliseconds quicker so no big deal. Can't comment on battery as it's still under observation. Experienced my first boot loop during the first few minutes of unboxing since I was running an older version of cwm. Hehehe. Overall I'd say it is still considered an upgrade. My gnex stays with me though and despite the change I'll still say it's a phone that is still worth getting and using. It's a nexus. They're both nexus. Can't go wrong with a nexus. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xR3BorNx:
i'm planning to get this device this up coming 2013. maybe about jan. of 2013. is it still worth getting?

the difference in speed is minimal? would you still recommend getting Gnex? eventhough its a year old phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
In terms of waiting for apps to launch, swiping from one page to another, rotation of screens, etc you'll feel it but it's not that big of an issue. It's still a beast of a phone in all honesty. If you will use scientific means in calculating differences, most likely there is a large difference but I'm basing my explanation on user experience. Both my n4 and gnex are running 4.2.1 anyway so the Os upgrade helps a lot. If I'll compare it new, it will be worlds apart as the gnex came with a slower ics 4.0.1 out of the box. That being said I'll still say the phone is worth getting. It may not have the greatest and latest hardware but the vanilla experience is certainly worth it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xR3BorNx:
^ if ever i got the Gnex. I will surely use a Rom(PA i guess?) from the 1st day i get it.. i'm just torn between Gnex + Nexus 7(8gb) or Nexus 4. :D

i'll just have to wait i guess:highfive:. i've tested SIII and i dont like it! for me it is slow in responsiveness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I have all 3.:D I'm a nexus freak
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xR3BorNx:
LOL! :highfive: so what do you think? should i get the Gnex with Nexus 7 (8gb) or Nexus 4?:confused:

i've just tested the Galaxy Tab 2 and all i can say is it lag!! hope the nexus 7 wont do the same :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I'd say go and get what you like. Other people's opinion may or may not matter much. If you're more inclined to get the n4, go with it. If you prefer the gnex, go with it as well. It would be a good choice whatever path you take
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
That would depend on how long you plan to keep the gnex. If 12-18 months, it should be all right as a phone/internet-on-the-go gadget. And since you plan on pairing it with a nexus 7, gaming shouldn't be a problem either. However, if you plan on keeping it for more than 2 or even 3 years, then don't expect many more updates. I expect it to get one more major update, and maybe a few minor OS updates before google drops support. So that's maybe another 18 months or so.

The nexus 4 should be a good phone for the next 2-3 years. But then again, a Nexus 7 is a really really good tablet and if settling for a gnex allows you to get one, then go for it. I just got mine 2 weeks ago, and I'm LOVING it so far.

I am very much tempted to get the nexus 4, but when I think about it, the only improvement it will bring to the table, based on my usage, is a better camera. Calls, SMS, mobile internet, performance gain would be minimal. It would probably open apps much faster, and play games better. But I don't really need chrome to open 2 seconds faster nor do I play games on my phone. For now, I'll probably hang on to my gnex and game/read/watch movies on my nexus 7 while I wait for the next iteration of the nexus phone.

EDIT: By the way, if you're buying the 8gb nexus 7 on the grey market, why don't you add a few hundreds more and get the 16gb? The difference in some online stores is as low as 200php.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icedef:
We're getting a Nexus 7 this weekend. I'm not sure if this is the right thread but I'm seeing good reviews from XDA lurkers.

Smart is offering it with a broadband bundle for about 1k a month, not bad for a very power packed tablet. :) Currenlty I have an Xperia Sola, hopefully it won't get jealous once the N7 arrives. I'm also looking forward to getting a Nexus 4 in the near future. :)

Hi guys. Im planning to buy a GNexus this Christmas vacation. I just wanna ask a few things:

1. What's the latest price on malls now? Haven't gone in malls for a while now because of school.

2. Can I buy it on Samsung stores in SM?

3. If I'm gonna buy it on Greenhills how much do they offer there now? And is the phones there legit?

Thanks!

You can buy it from Grey market with price ranging from 13 to 15k. Samsung stores doesn't sell it. Very hard to find on malls also. They are legit as long as you accept their warranty that is store warranty only.

Hi! I'm just new here. Smooth transaction with Kimstore? Coz I'm planning to buy galaxy nexus from that store too but im currently in cebu city. is shipping really okay? I'm afraid of getting scam. no store/s here selling galaxy nexus here. there is one individual who do meet ups here but still came from manila stock. but price difference is almost 1000 maybe 800. ill better use it to buy an screen protector for that extra money.

Kimstore will cost me 15,925 all.(I asked for quotation from them)

and that guy in istorya.net 16,699. meet ups.

any suggestion/s? :confused:

hi, newb here. just bought my gnex yesterday. hope u guys can help me. i've recently just configured my mobile internet settings for sun cellular (prepaid) and i subscribed to the iload promos theyre offering. trying to access a couple of websites thru chrome but it seems to be taking ages for the pages to load up. guy in the customer service told me to set my mobile internet to 2g only since they dont offer 3g for the gnex or gnex doesnt have 3g?? i dont really understand what he meant, im very new to the android/mobile internet world hehe. anyway, might i be doing something wrong? any way to make browsing faster? hope u guys can help me, ill appreciate it heaps.

No 3g? that's BS man, do you have the correct settings?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turbo_negro:
dunno what exactly correct settings are sir but what i did for the settings was just enter a new APN, typed in mininternet as the APN, and sun internet for the name, and thats it, left the rest of the entries blank.

the internet does work, but only when im in 2g only mode. but even so its quite slow. but the weirdest thing is when i turn the 2g only mode off (so i presume im now in 3g..? and i expect a faster connection..) the phone wouldnt connect to the mobile internet. but when i revert back to 2g only, phone automatically connects to sun mobile net. i find this a bit odd, maybe you guys know a way to get around this? or are we gnex users (or sun prepaid gnex users only?) are really just limited to 2g only mode for our mobile internet? i hope not cause that sucks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
I am on smart. Mine is not limited to 2g. I get signals between E to H+, but most of the time H. Maybe it's your location. Try it somewhere else.
