Go to settings - language and input. Topmost choice is for the language. Have that both on my gnex and n7. Although I haven't tried Google Now with tagalog as well but changing the language settings is possible. It does feel awkward though. Nothing against it but it just feels awkward
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Having tagalog in the whole interface is funny. Sadly it doesn't work with Google now.

In some phones the messenging app has a setting that can change the SMSC or Message Centre number manually. All you need to do is navigate to your messaging app hit settings and look for the "send messaging" settings. If this gets you confused you can try the manual solution below

To update SMSC manually:

STEP 1: Go to your phone dialer and : *#*#4636#*#*

STEP 2: You should see a phone options to choose from, choose "Phone Information"

STEP 3: Look for the field "SMSC"

STEP 4: Input the SMSC in PDU format (i've converted below)

STEP 5: Click Update

FINISH!

Hey guys! I'm really glad to see there's a lot of love going on for the GNex in the Philippines! :)

I have a question: have you guys seen any bumper cases around for this phone? I'm talking about the second case on this page: http://phandroid.com/2012/04/30/gal...ite-clear-tpu-and-generic-white-bumper-video/

I want to have this bumper case where the battery door is exposed because I'm also planning to buy a 3800mah battery pack that *should* give me twice as much juice as the stock battery.

If you've seen bumper cases around, please do PM me because I am highly interested in buying one! Thanks! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
In addition to what prinze mentioned, if in case you decide to just get an extra stock battery instead of the extended one, some Samsung stores carry it already. That's what I do so I don't need to bring an extra cover. Just have 2 stock batteries

@prinz: I was trying my luck to get one locally but looks like i cant. Thanks anyway. :)

@thephantom: i was thinking of that too but couldnt find the stock ones as well. would you care to share which Samsung stores have those stock batteries? thanks! :)

Mga kababayan! Hehe! Just got mine last week and I love the screen! Got mine with yakjuxw on 4.0.2. It updated automatically via OTA to 4.0.4, then, 4.1.1. Was expecting the 4.1.2 but it was not pushed. So, I converted to yakju on 4.1.2. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
Hi mga Pinoy GNex-ers! Good to know na meron palang community here sa XDA for Filipinos :D

Anyways, just a random thought, or just because na OC ako. I have a SC-04D Galaxy Nexus (NTT DoCoMo), and it has the branding of "Galaxy Nexus" and "Samsung" on it's back cover, and it's somehow putting me just a bit of @_@

Would any of you know where to buy the back cover for the i9250 model? The one that has "Google" and "Samsung" branded on it. I tried looking for anyone who would be willing to trade theirs in around the local forums, but no luck so far.

Hope you guys could help! More power sa GNex and vanilla Android experiece! \m/

Guys do we have an facebook group for gnex in the philippines?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
4.1.1

Hi. I just got my Gnex from Greenhills.

I tried connecting it to our office wifi to setup my accounts. I got a notification to update my firmware to JB. I thought it was an official update and agreed to go with it. After the update, I can no longer connect to our office wifi. I have Googled it and found out that it is the 4.1.1. I'm planning to go back to stock 4.0.4. Did anybody here experienced the same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the stock firmware. I've been on 4.1.1 and there hasn't been an issue with Wi-Fi (or anything else, for that matter). Can you detect the wifi signal? And if you do, can you try checking the password associated with that network and see if it's still the correct one.

Sorry to SPAM but please avoid posting no-brainer responses just for the sake of posting. If there's no issue, don't respond with a solution. And, if you don't know the solution, don't post at all. Good vibes! Minimize the clutter (just like this post of mine).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
LOL, whatever happened to the essence of a forum. Unless this is some company's official helpdesk thread, then I would understand. But to say that you actually want to limit what people post in a public forum just defeats the purpose of having a public forum in the first place.

Just my two cents.

Here guys have fun. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=es#yakju:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
now that's useful. Thanks coming your way sir!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
Yes. It can detect the available Wifi here in the office. I can connect to the unsecured Wifi but not with the Wifi that requires password. I got it in 4.0.4. and was able to connect with the secured Wifi. After the update, all I can see is the "Connecting..." notification. After a while, it will say "Authentication Problem."

I got updated to Yakjuwx 4.1.1 JRO03C. That's when I had the problem.

I flashed it to 4.0.4 (IMM76I) Yakju. I just noticed that the notification on OTA update is giving me now a different Jelly Bean version and not the 4.1.1 JRO03C. I just did a mock update to stop the OTA notifications.

I'll stay with ICS 4.0.4 (IMM76I) Yakju for now. I'm not sure if the JB 4.1.1 JRO03C is the faulty one. Maybe you a 4.1.1 with a different build if that matters. I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
The notification you're getting is for jb 4.1.2 which is what we (yakju and takju users) have right now. I don't have issues on wifi connection with either 4.0.4 before or the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 now. Perhaps check on the compatibility with the router if you can. There is also in the advanced settings a tick mark for avoid poor connections. Perhaps that may be the cause. Play around with it to check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I agree with thephantom. I think the best troubleshooting you can do is check the router. Or perhaps you could try one of the custom ROMs that run on 4.1.2? Maybe the stock ROM (4.1.2) has issues with your router.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
The guys having wifi problems try this it's flashable:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
I'm not sure if that's possible. Our office heavily relies on wireless connection, and wifi covers the whole floor area. I'm not exactly sure where the routers are or if I'm even allowed to see the wireless equipments.

I have tried to toggle off the "Avoid poor connections" when I was with Jelly Bean in vain. It didn't work for me.

Right now, I'll stay with Yakju 4.0.4. I'm familiar with rooting, but flashing seems a tedious job for me, so I think I would stay with my current setup.

I have a question though. I'm rooted on stock 4.0.4 right now. If there comes a time that I wanted to update to higher versions, how will my rooted 4.0.4 respond to it? Will I lose my root access?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryanismo:
If you're talking about an OTA update, then, yes. You will lose root access.

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
Yes, in most cases you will. However it's easy to root a GNex nowadays, given that there's even one-click toolkits for rooting and flashing.

Great reminder! Again, one has to be responsible enough to read about these things before jumping in right away. If you've got a GNex then it's only common sense that you read up about it as much as you can before trying anything out.

BTW, I used that toolkit and never had any problem with it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
Forced update my wife's GNex to 4.1.2. It didn't lose root. How? With CWM recovery version 6.0.1.4. Before the reboot, it asks you to fix root permissions and retain custom recovery. :)

Guys I'm on globe and went on roaming abroad the past few days. When I got back to the Philippines, my gnex can't access any location data for Google now, weather widgets and Google maps. GPS also doesn't work. I checked settings and all location options were checked. I also tried wiping app data. I only got location services back after restoring a cwm backup before I went on roaming. Any body experience this before? How to prevent this in the future?

Sorry I'm not able to give the link now since I'm mobile. But in Google you can search "galaxy nexus 4.1.2 OTA update". It should take you to an XDA forum post. It's a thread of all latest OTAs, whichever ICS/JB version you're coming from.

At Greenhills V-Mall. Look for Intogadgets at 3rd floor. They sell GNex there for more or less P17K. :D

Just wondering...

Are the OTA updates similar to the factory images from this site?

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Let's say, can I copy this file to the cache folder of the Gnex and try updating through Settings > About Phone > System Updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
The ota updates are different because you are giving links to a full rom there. The urls are not the same. If you want to get the urls of the ota update, the easiest manner of flashing it is thru cwm. Just make sure you have the correct ota update file for your build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
Well, I guess the next time that I'll be getting an update will be through ADB. I just have to wait for the factory images at Google.

I'm still afraid to flash to 4.1.2, because I'm not sure if it's gonna mess up my WiFi connection at work just like the 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ran495:
dont buy the gnex!!! now with the lg nexus on the way... the gnex will be effectively be cheaper!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
What build are you on? Those on yakju/takju builds have already the 4.1.2 installed via ota or manual update. If your build is anything other than those for gsm, the images won't be released by Google because the variants of yakju are updated by Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
When I first got my GNex, I know it was a non-yakju. I have a "dotted" build. I received then an OTA update to 4.1.1. The build says JRO03C.something. That's when I had a problem with our office WiFi.

I did flashed my phone back to 4.0.4 using the factory image from Google. GSM Model 4.0.4 IMM76I)

I also flashed a custom recovery.

Every time there's a notification for an OTA, I just try to delete the file from the cache file and do a mock update to stop the notifications for a while.

My question is, if my Gnex is originally non-yakju and flashed a yakju rom on it, am I supposed to get updates from Google directly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
The moment you switch to a yakju or takju build, you get the updates from Google directly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
That's actually what I'm assuming.

However, I just noticed something. As I've said, I have tried deleting the update file from the cache folder (I'm rooted.) The file name has a "JRO03C" on it. I assume it is 4.1.1. Are the updates incremental?

I mean, if I'm on 4.0.4, the OTA that I should have next is 4.1.1, and when I'm on 4.1.1, I'll get a JZO54K?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Correct
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
What would be the difference between the yakju and non-yakju?

Does Samsung adds features on non-yakju builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KaliKot:
Thanks for the S wave case recommendationbut its a jelly type case unfortunately.

I might consider it though. But im already thinking of ordering a Nexus 4 then selling the Gnex lol. And ive only had it for a few days but the Nexus 4 is really tempting me because of its incredible price
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryanismo:
Incredible price of at least 24K? :) Seen reputable sellers on TipidCP.com claiming they already have the Nexus 4 and selling it.

@z_extend_99

Since you already know how to flash, why not get the 4.1.2 factory image and flash it? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
wow that's just overpriced. it sells for $349 in the US, so it shouldn't be that high. the Gnex sells at around 17k to 19k here while it's being sold at around $375 in the US, so that price range must be because they're taking advantage of it being new :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Nothing new really, of course it will be overpriced. These sellers are running a business after all. I'm sure there are people who don't care about the price and are willing to pay the price just to be the first to have it.

my point exactly

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
N4 i'm thinking between 20-25k gray market assuming the local retailers get them from the play store. my basis is 350 plus taxes and shipping to US then shipping and taxes to phils and of course the profit of the local retailer. some pre-released units have already been circulating at 21-23k now and i saw also an individual seller offering 19kplus. of course the usual caveat emptor to all even if the sellers are known.

I hope it'll be 19k. Or I'll just let my relatives buy it.

Quite stupid, really. I was using a MicroSIM adapter, and while I was taking it out to test my SIM on my brother's S3, one of the SIM pin connectors just folded up and broke. Costs around 11k to have the board replaced, since the sim dock was connected to the board. @_@
