Im lucky enough to live in a building. But the flood on the street is neck deep. My barkada's houses and cars were submerged. I hope this madness stop. God bless Manila.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raisone:
Yeah men, it´s so sad.

I´m flying to the philippines on thursday... i hope it´ll stop by then... is going to be my first time there and althought i knew that is rain season... i didn´t expected it that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terenceleechan:
Yes i agree, go for Smart. Globe sucks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blitzen12:
I have GNex (NTT-Docomo SC-04D) bought from japan last April.

Unlocked, rooted running with JB maguro

the only problem I experienced is the charging issues..

I've tried to go to Samsung Service Center for a repair, they say the charging port is the problem..

I told them to replace the charging port but they can't cause they dont have parts for my phone..

So I guess I'm gonna stuck with this problem.. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Tell them you are willing to wait and will pay. They're just lazy if you ask me or avoiding non warranty units
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mugey:
Tell them it's BS, another fellow XDA member posted here that he got his charging port fixed at the Samsung service center at SM North. Mine is currently getting fixed at the Samsung service center in Las Pinas. I was there when they ordered the part which will come from their main office. I don't see any reason why they don't have that part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
hello fellow GNexers!

Been a long time lurker of the other parts of the site (development and apps) but it's the first time i strayed onto the General forums hehe good thing there's a thread for pinoys out here

just would like to survey you guys as to what ROM you're using? I'm currently on rooted stock with CWM 6.0.1 but I'm currently exploring the custom ROM world. so far, Black Bean, Slim Bean, AOKP, and Liquidsmooth are the ones that caught my attention.

any recommendations and feedback from the custom ROMs you guys are using :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I think it depends on what features you're looking for. I'm currently switching between Android Revolution HD and MinCo ROM. On both ROMs, I'm using Franco's Kernel. Both of those ROMs offers stability and performance. However, the developers are trying to make the ROM as stock looking as possible. In my opinion, Android Revolution HD gives a better battery experience while MinCo gives a better performance. Plus, MinCo also has a separate thread for its add-on MODs.

I would suggest you to try each ROM here in XDA for a few days so that you'll get a better feel of it. Then decide what ROM you want to stick with. :highfive:

Yeah, they said it will cost PHP2400 and it will last 1 week, then I told them, ok I'll pay but one of them told me that they don't have parts for my phone.

Are all charging port for GNex i9250 the same??

Is it compatible with any GNex i9250?

Cause I am planning to order charger port for my GNex i9250 online but I am afraid if it's not compatible for my docomo sc-04d...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Should be the same as the hardware of the docomo variant and international version is similar. But I believe a little more googling will be needed just to be on the safe side
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
in that case CWM will be my best friend lolz. have you triend inverted Gapps? it's the main reason why I'm looking into custom ROMs. black displays = lesser batt consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Only at the highest setting. At 50% brightness, difference is small. At 0% brightness, there is no difference in consumption. So unless you have brightness on at max most of the time, it shouldn't be an issue. To be honest, I've tried using some of the black gapps back when we were still on 4.0.3, they're painful to use. White just looks so much cleaner and easier on the eyes (unless you're in bed and the lights are out, of course). It's one of the many things I don't miss from touchwiz (came from an i9000).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
i installed Minco rom and the Sim Toolkit does not work anymore! it says app not installed.

anyone who can help me with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Perhaps the apk is not included? I'm guessing here because I haven't used minco but it may be the case. Does it say in the rom itself that it is supported?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Yes it is not installed in the rom. Its not in the /system/apps.

How can i get this back this is a system app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I have the stock stk.apk which you can push in the system folder I believe. You can try it to see if it works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Can you send me the stock stk.apk?

I will try if it will work...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Try these

https://www.box.com/shared/68be2269db0906e4bfe4

https://www.box.com/shared/7878845d4e3c33d70da8

I linked both the apk and odex file. Might not need the second one but just to be sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Sorry to say but it does not work.

What can i do to have this back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Did you push it in the /system/app folder and change permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Yes i push it. Permission: owner: r,w, group: r, others:r.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Best bet then is to ask the dev for a copy specific for that. Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Thank you for your help. Ill ask the dev about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edrickmph:
Had to go back to Androidme 1.6.1, which is much better than Minco v3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
You can check the thread for the Minco ROM again. Vomer just replied to your question there with a link for the apk of the Sim toolkit. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ran495:
hey guys i dont know if you heard the galaxy tab 2 commercial on the radio. i explicitly heard "dad" using navigation. but when i last checked, navigation was still not supported in our country. any thoughts?? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
been eyeing this phone for awhile now. currently, im using the samsung galaxy tabl plus 7.0

i would just like your opinion mga kabayan if it's worth it to exchange the tablet for the galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
depends on how you're gonna use it. if it's for info consumption and as a phone, but with a smaller (yet brighter) screen then go ahead. but if you want the bigger screen, i think you're better off with a nexus 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
There will always be pros and cons as no gadget is perfect. For owners like me, of course I'd prefer this. But it will really be up to you because our needs are different. Your using a tab right now so I'm presuming you need the tab functions like screen size and what not. If that's the case, then don't get it. If you need a phone more, then do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
It's just that i don't usually work with a desk and inside the office, I'm more of in a production line of work , always moving and the tab helps me present aswell But I'm finding it hard to carry it around in a shoot,

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

And to be frank, tab plus doesn't feel like a tablet , the user experience make you feel like you're just using a really big phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jomelon981:
Sir I would like to know where I could buy Galaxy nexus screen protector that within the Philippines?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
if you can work with a smaller screen than what you have now for the sake of portability and ease of use, then the GNex should be okay :cyclops:

if you still need the screen but want it more portable in a way, you can look at the Note or the Nexus 7, the latter being shaped differently hence it seems like it's easier to carry around.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

found 2 in megamall from way back. if i remember right it's beside the samsung service center
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
They are all over the malls. You just need to ask. I saw them in digital walker, orange, premium logic, hackstern mobile, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
Where else? Greenhills. Haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
Would just like to ask where you guys bought your nexus and for how much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I bought mine from intogadgets in VMall. It was 18k (cash) before but, I believe they've lowered their price to 17,500. They only have 3 days replacement and 3 months service warranty since the GNex is not officially released as unlocked here in our country.

You can also buy from Smart or Globe which gives official 1 year Samsung warranty but, you'll have to have an existing postpaid or apply for a new one.

If you're feeling courageous, you can by from the Greenhills stalls in theater mall. My brother bought his GNex there but, it's a Smart locked version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ran495:
you can check out kimstore. they're also selling for 17500 but with 1 year warranty. widget city is selling at 17400 also with warranty.

you can buy screen protectors anywhere. its the cases that you'll probably have a hard time with. very limited selection.

also, can i repost about the navigation thing?? nobody heard on the radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I'm gonna start a dirty Mexican owners thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ran495:
... okay...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
this might come out as a n00b question but, if my understanding is right, my ROM should be deodexed before I can install modifications to my phone, specifically, the power menu, right?

no custom ROM has really caught my eye, maybe CM10, but that would take a while to stabilize.

for now i'm sticking to stock, but i really want that expanded power menu (turn off, reboot, recovery, airplane mode). so is deodexed stock the way to go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Depends on the mod you need. Some mods work on a stock odexed rom while others don't. Check on the one who made the mod to see if it works on stock odexed. I'm still on stock but I've played around a bit like having the lock icon on the drop down notification and it works. I don't have the extended menu controls so I can't say for that but you can ask the dev directly

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
Try MinCO ROM. It's a custom ROM with stock looks. You can also add modifications specifically for the ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherwin892:
Hi guys. I will be traveling to the Philippines in October and I was wondering if I can use my Galaxy Nexus phone there. I own a developer phone that I had purchased from a developer a few days after this year's Google I/O. My initial search shows that it is compatible because it uses the same band/frequency. I'm on AT&T here in the US and have no plans of using thier sim card but rather buy a sim there and a 'load,' preferably with data access. I saw Smart, Globe and Sun offer these services. Any recommendations? I'll also be stayin in Hong Kong for a few days, does anybody know if it works the same way there? Thank you in advanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
I personally recommend Smart. Network is more reliable in general as Globe is currently implementing network upgrades that affect their signal reliability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherwin892:
I'm assuming this confirms that I can use the my phone in the Philippines and Hong Kong

Thanks for the heads up and the recommendation :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
Not sure for HK. Is it AT&T locked or did you unlock it? If it's unlocked GSM then yeah you can use it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherwin892:
Yeah its from the Google store which is carrier unlicked by default. Thanks again. Will look further into HK. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
You won't have any issues with hk sim either. For a minute there I thought you said you had a developer's edition phone. The build of those are totally different as they don't have play store, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherwin892:
Yeah I obviously don't know what I'm talking about he he. I'm not sure what it is. I just know that I bought it from a developer who got it for free from Google when he attended Google IO 2012 but already had a smartphone (iPhone) and had no need for another. Developer phone or not its great :) and I'm glad I can use it

help on my message guys please

hi guys just want to ask. why does my contacts doesnt show there name in my messages. even though theyre saved in my people. my contacts are saved in my sim and i imported them already to my phone.

thats the only thing thats shows number only no name but when i go to people the number are saved.

any ideas guys please help:crying:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
I checked the settings and you're right it doesn't stick. You don't even need to reboot. Just exit the settings and go back in and it will revert to the default which is GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). The only other settings that seem to stick are GSM only and WCDMA only. Not even WCDMA preferred seems to work which used to work on my SGS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chardd23:
Mine doesnt go back to default. it sticks after exit but after a reboot it's back to default :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Nice! That's such a great buy. And at least you have a gnex with warranty!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00geebee00:
Hi Guys,

Just got my Gnex two days ago. It was at first running on stock 4.0.4 and it automatically updated to 4.1.1 (JB). At first, I thought it's working perfectly fine but now I found out it's not connecting to my home wifi network, it only shows status -- Authenticating.. and it really won't connect even if I restart the phone.

Signal is also busted to 1 bar only even if I place it right beside my router. My other phone and MBA is working perfectly fine even a few meters away.

Have you encountered this problem?

Did some research and found several fixes but it requires unlocking, rooting and flashing. Will this void my OTA updates from google itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Could be router compatiblity? Did you buy it new? What build did you get? Unlocking bootloader and rooting will not void any ota updates from google. That is if those are the only things you will do but any mod in the system partition will get errors when there is another update available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00geebee00:
Yes bought it brand new but grey unit.

It's Build Number JRO03C.I9250XWLH2

I'm kind of stuck in deciding whether I should do the fix or just wait for another update from google.

I also checked google's dev page and my case was not the only one. Those who recently updated to OTA JB 4.1.1 also experience the same wifi problem.

(sorry still can't attach the link here -- try google search "issue 34942")

Google replied "Thank you for contacting Google. There are no known issues with the Galaxy Nexus not being able to get good reception with WiFi."

Geez now I'm stuck with this busted phone.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
If it's a gray unit there is no warranty to void. I suggest flash it to 4.0.4 using enfant's return to stock instructions in the general section. If you need help just ask. It's very easy and pain free to flash the gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
^ There you go. Or do the 4.1.1 directly to minimize another update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00geebee00:
Got it working now.

What I did was:

1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Installed CWM

3. Flash the fix I found

4. Got the dead android when I activated CWM

5. Installed CWM Recovery

6. No more dead android.. whew!

Now it works perfectly fine.. :)

Thanks! Now since I got CWM working, I'll try to flash ROMs that I can find. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darksmint:
Hi, I'm kinda having the same issue. Would you mind sharing the fix you found? :laugh:

Yes I also just bought my gnex and it's also a gray unit and just been updated to JB.
