Play with it. Check buttons, screen, volume, wifi, make a call, send sms, etc. In short, use all of the features you need.

Yakju is a build that is updated directly by google. Out of the box the easiest way to check is go to About Phone in settings. If the build number has an extension after the 1st 6 characters, it's not yakju. An example is IMM76I.I9250ZSKL2. Changing from a non-yakju to yakju is easy. For locked unit's you can buy the unlock code or risk doing the unlocking on your own.

power on problem

hi, i encountered this problem this morning. after charging my nexus won't turn on. I never turned it off but when i press power button it shows nothing. I tried removing the battery and it worked again. Just wanted to ask if anybody here had this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
That's probably just a hiccup you encountered. Haven't experienced that yet but I try to keep in mind that no gadget is perfect so small things like that won't bother me. If it repeats itself though, that's another story

power on problem

hi, it happened again. After receiving a text message it went off and was unable to

turn it on again. removing the battery turns it on though. Does it have something to do with rooting. I have unrooted back my phone to stock 4.0.4 and lock the boot loader, just in case. I will be monitoring it if the problem will show up even without rooting. Anybody here encountered this weird problem. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tofeemint:
Anyone tried making a conference call? Everytime i try to hold the current call i get the message unable to switch calls or even pressing dial to add call. Does it have anything to do with the modem or baseband? My previous phone which is an S2 could make conference call though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Did you do it this way? http://videotron.tmtx.ca/faqs/item/?lc=en&p=samsung_galaxynexus&a=making_a_conference_call
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tofeemint:
Yeah and the message unable to switch call always appears >_<

Also saw that site when i was researching a while ago, didnt see much topic on this issue so i guess less people are affected or doesnt care much about this functionality lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Interesting. Haven't really placed any thought on that feature as I don't need it but it would be nice to know if it works. I'll try to test as well when i'm with a few people as it feels so cozy right now being curled up in bed. Hehehe

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Has anyone of you tried WIFI Tethering or hotspot. How does it work? Can't make it work with my GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I have. I use it at times to connect my galaxy player when outside. I just enable it in settings then setup the name and password for security then let my player or laptop search for it just like connecting to a wireless router
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Tofeemint,

As promised I tried the conference call. It works on mine. I just followed the link. I wasn't able to experience the unable to switch error
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tofeemint:
Thanks I appreciate your effort :D

I was trying it with globe's 211 and then trying to call a mobile number and it didnt work so i tried calling a mobile number first then a landline and the conference worked.

My bad lol

Anyway just received my 2000mAh extended battery last thursday for $35.30

Here's its performance after 2 days of use :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
^ Nice. I get almost the same as well with my extended battery but i'm doing everything enabled now so it just lasts roughly 20 hours

hi gud pm, i really need experts help im, total noob in flashing and rooting and i really want my gnex to be a yakju build it is yakjuzs, 1st question do i need to back up data before i download drivers? is it possible during the flashing process that my phone will be completely wipeout? thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
I just get around 12 to 14 hours off the stock battery before the indicator turns red. That's with pretty heavy use though with a lot of push and sync from a lot of apps on just 3g.

Aren't you supposed to be on some honeymoon stage tonight? :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
Haha. Saw an s3 earlier and I played around with it. Better screen and way better build quality compared with the nexus. Can't stand touchwiz still though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
I don't know, but I followed your suggestion... but still tethering doesn't work.

Did the flashing thing 'destroyed' my tethering? Though I haven't really tested it before when I was still using the yakjujp build ICS 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
That I don't know. I was able to tether using yakjuzs and yakju. I'm on smart, by the way. If you're on globe prepaid, I did read about some issues with that but I can't seem to recall where. Globe is supposedly disallowing tethering for prepaid users
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Hmm... is that so? I'll try to switch to SMART. I'll update you then. Thanks for the reply.

EDIT: Indeed! GLOBE did blocked wifi tether. Using SMART now. Hayyy. Sayang.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
I'm wondering how? My dad is on globe prepaid and has wifi tethering on his HTC sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
I just want to report for all those hesitant to flash jelly bean, you won't be disappointed. Beautiful performance and buttery smooth! And the new radio gives good signal too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
But its coming officially in 2 weeks. I don't see the point unless you really really can't wait haha.

I just can't wait for the nexus 7 I ordered yesterday. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
Im a globe prepaid user. I can tether without problems. I am subscribed to the supersurf999 unlimited data for 30days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arnelm2002:
is it an OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
For now it's not. It's a zip file that you flash. The news is that official rollout will start by mid July. Right now what we flashed are the preview editions meant for those who attended the Google I/O event
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
No I can't wait. Haha! And it's so worth the flash.

anybody know where i can get case-mate or otterbox case for my GNEX preferably in the crossing/greenhills area? i've combed google for online shops or at least local prices and i have not found anything. thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
There's an otter box kiosk in megamall. Also check out the sgp ultra hybrid and sgp Neo hybrid cases. Those are good too. Available in digital walker Eastwood and applewerkz in katipunan. Digital walker also carries the otter box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
Any chance you know how much they cost? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leche1982:
Upwards of 1k for all of them. The otterbox cases go for around 2k, IIRC.

Best value cases I've seen and used are the Mercury TPU cases. 500 each at Hackstern in Robinson's Galleria.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
this is a very nice tip, i'm kinda short on cash right now but i really want to have a case coz i'm very clumsy and the nexus is very slippery imo (not a very good combination). i will take a look at those mercury TPU cases now. :D

EDIT: i couldn't find them Hackstern in Robinson's Galleria store directory. where else can i go aside from eastwood and megamall?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mugey:
anyone knows where I could buy a clear screen protector? Only matte are available to the shops I went. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leche1982:
they're not in the store directory because they're a stall in the basement. Just look for the Hackstern sign.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leche1982:
Capdase Klia screen protectors are clear but anti-fingerprint. A bit pricey, but worth it, IMO. I've seen them at Digital Walker Stores and at Orange store in Virra Mall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
I found the store but they only had 1 color left of the mercury tpu cases. So i went to greenhills, shopped around and bought a capdase soft jacket case for 800php. So far i am quite happy with the look and feel of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geevee11:
Applwerkz at Katipunan Ave. has an SGP Oleophobic screen protector.

But I bought it about 4 or more months ago. Costs 900 bucks.

The film is good, but gets scratched easily. Used it, but took it off a month later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Hello guys, please update me if you have received the JB via OTA here in the Philippines. :D I'm really quite hesitant in flashing my GNex (though I have flashed it before for the ICS 4.0.4). And I don't want it to be rooted and to use other ROMs except the original stock.

Please update me guys! Please.

Hey guys! Any of you got your units from SMART? Are their factory builds yakju? Coz when I got mine from the greymarket(kimstore), I got a yakjuxw build. I didn't find any problem with that though. I unlocked the bootloader, changed factory build, flashed new recovery and rooted on the first day. No problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtizon:
How can I know if its a yakju or yakjuxw? Havent checked that out yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MauDreizehn:
You can search the android market for this app: GN Official Update Checker

Simplest way to find out your phone's factory build. I was going to post the link, my posts are still too low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftden:
Got mine from kimstore too when it was still 28k last january 4. Also yakjuxw.. havent made the change yet to yakju. Any side effects?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MauDreizehn:
I haven't seen any yet. But what they say is when your unit has a different build other that yakju, which comes directly from google, your updates will be delayed by the average of two weeks. Because the non-yakju build updates are rolled-out by Samsung, not google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droweed:
got mine on feb.14 from kim store. glad its yakju build. sana dumiretso nko nag nexus lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftden:
Lucky you! Haha!

Yes. I got the 4.0.2 update around end of january.. while yakju users got it 2-3 weeks before.. i still can wait.. my getting the update proves ill be getting future update, ill just have to wait.

Aaaaye, pare! I think it's pretty funny this thread was created. I was just there in December with my Droid Charge using Wi-Fi only. It's crazy hot out there, I don't know how you all survive in the summer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtizon:
Mine is not officially updated by Google. Although it was already 4.02 when I bought it.

Honestly I do not know if this is really a yellow tint. Maybe I'm just not used to the screen yet.

Hello kababayans! Rocking mine with aokp b24 franco 18.6... so far so good! Anyways does anyone know where to find good selections of cases here in ph other than applewerkz?

hello my fellow pinoys! had a unlocked gsm gnex thru the google play store since june 2012 and im loving it! came from a htc hd7 on contract from tmobile as my contract will expire in 4 months and i cant wait.

my question is how is the data connection thru globe in the manila,makati and quezon city area? as im planning a vacation there sometime august or september. I am a really heavy data user and i need a relatively fast internet connection.

Thanks and more power to all pinoys in xda!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Awwww. Im on yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
You don't need yakju if you will flash the full jb rom. What it will do is convert you to takju. I was on yakju when I flashed jb but now have gone back to its as there are some apps that are not compatible yet with jb so I'll just wait for official yakju ota. Just be patient
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brutalpanda:
Finally got the phone today. I got the white version as the black one was out of stock. Luckily it was the same price on kimstore for both colors.

As for the screen, I don't know if it has a screen defect, but when I notch the brightness down to 0, everything turns purple. But anything before 0%, the greys and blacks are somewhat normal. Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking if I should have it replaced or not.

Overall though, I'm quite happy with my new phone. Everything's super fast compared to my old Milestone and Acer Iconia. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sleepsus:
Same with mine, it doesn't bother me as I don't run the phone with brightness at 0.

I got it last Saturday on Takju JB now, testing it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brutalpanda:
additionally, does anyone know where I can buy cases for the nexus? I went to Eton Centris but I was only able to find cheap jelly cases for P100 each.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sleepsus:
I got my Capdase at Greenhills for 1K, came with a screen protector... It wasn't easy to find, I had to ask a lot of shops before I found it.

Seems there aren't much accessories available for the GNex locally ... or at least in Greenhills.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
Bought mine for 800php. Quite a good buy. I'm very satisfied with the fit and feel of the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Depends on what kind of case you want. SGP available in Applewerkz, Hackstern Mobile in Galeria and Digital Walker stores. Mercury available in Hackstern mobile in Galeria. Capdase in several stores like Premium Logic in Mega Mall, Orange store in VMall, etc. Otterbox in the malls. You can also order online for cases like Diztronic, Incipio, Ringke, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sleepsus:
How is your experience with Google Now going in Manila?

For me it's pretty useless, only shows cards for the weather :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
Give it a few days. It will know where you live and where you work. The it will show you the traffic in your daily commute... but of course its wrong as Google doesn't have traffic info for the Philippines.

It also shows places near me and my next appointments. If you use the calendar a lot like I do you should get those too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sleepsus:
Yup, I use the calendar, but it's the Exchange calendar for work that I really use, and it does also show up, forgot to mention it.

Do I need to do anything for it to learn where I live and work? I've been using it since Sunday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
I can sell you my original capdase jelly that I don't use anymore for 600 bucks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brutalpanda:
Thanks for all the help on the cases guys. I'll try to go to one of those shops over the weekend.

Anyone got the OTA for 4.1.1 already? I'm on yakju build and no OTA yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Sorry, I'm really dumb with this kinds of things. Did anyone tried to update the OTA image via flashing? I was having a problem with this.

Sirs, after fastboot boot cwm.img. This thing appeared:

Cant find choose zip from sdcard from there. What is next with this sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Make sure spelling is correct. Also, when going from adb to fastboot for the first time, you usually need to install again the drivers. Check device manager to see if your device is recognized. If you need help, hit me up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Just want to clarify things. After downloading the zip file, you need to unzip them using 7-zip, am I right? So after unzipping it, you will have the following files and folders:

1. meta inf folder

2. patch folder

3. recovery folder

4. system folder

5. bootloader

6. fastboot file (not .exe)

7. radio.img.p

Am I going to use this fastboot file included in the zip file? So if I will, then I will need to add a .exe extension on it. Or will I just use the fastboot.exe from my previous flashing from ICS 4.0.4?

So after all these, I will copy all the files to my device. And then, download the cwm file. Rename it, and then off you go to fastboot mode.

Am I doing this correctly?

ADDED POST:

Now I having problems with fastboot devices

Typing would not do anything on my command prompt. No alerts if it is recognized or not. What will I do about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
If you are using the ota update, you don't need to unzip anything. Copy to your phone then use fastboot boot cwm.img to access cwm on your phone and install the zip file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chubiprince:
Haha! I have fixed it! The problem was with cwm.img. I have renamed it as cwm.img even if the cwm has the .img extension already! Im officially JB! So cool! So smooth! Wonfering how will I use Google Now. Where can I find it? Its not in the settings or in apps or widgets.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jisondla:
Hello, I'm planning to get one also from kimstore. I'm just curious, does it come unlocked from the box? What network do you use? I'm using sun cellular and is happy to report that I almost always have a speedy connection anything from 1 mbps up to 3.5 mbps!

I'm a little nervous that if I do switch to galaxy nexus, I'm worried that it is not configured to maximise the speeds of the current internet providers here in Manila.

Please let me know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
If they say it's factory unlocked, it should come out unlocked out of the box. Using smart here with speeds from 500kbps to 5.9mbps depending on the location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
Bought mine from kimstore, no it is not factory unlocked but unlocking is just 1 command in fastboot.

fastboot oem unlock

Please note that this will format your data partition.

Yup its different.

Agreed on that. The question I believe was with regards to sim and not bootloader

Got my nexus from Kimstore. Unlocked. HK version.

Flashed it to to the US play store version and got the OTA for 4.1.1.

They may be selling a different version now though.
