BUY A SCREEN PROTECTOR!

I woke up today and noticed my first scratch. Its about a quarter of an inch long and is really noticeable on a white screen due to the 'rainbow effect'. I use a nice hard silicone case which has done an amazing job protecting my phone from stupid drops and falls (I've had about 5 :p).

I now believe that the tempered glass used with the Galaxy Nexus is NOT as strong as Gorilla Glass. Everyone I know with a Gorilla Glass phone doesn't have a screen protector and has NO scratches whatsoever.

Forgive my rambling. Do yourself a favor and buy a screen protector. I know I will be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] machiz7888:
you forgot to add the *this message paid for by screen protector C co. jk haha

but seriously do you know what you did to scratch it? currently I've got an XO and androidified case on mine. But the other day I was at the gym and my nexus fell off an elliptical like machine (twice) the second time one of the feet things smacked it as it was falling (~4.5 ft) and the nexus went flying across the room.

Worse: It didn't have a case on, because I was trying to mod the touchstone tech into my case.

Awesome: picked it up popped the battery in, and it was completely unscathed. I don't understand what people are doing to crack/scratch this thing. It seems pretty solid to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
I used XO Skins as well. They will fill in that scratch. Their video shows that. I also posted my review of their stuff linked in my signature, as well as about 500+ people on here.

Don't waste your money

Screen proctors are a waste of money, from iphone to droid x and blackberry, never had a scratched screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Not to make light of the situation, but I wonder what % of users would try to show a scratch with a screen capture? I'd say a solid 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
I got a single scratch too. I've had and used the iPhone 2g since launch and it has not a single scratch, so I am confused as to what I suddenly did differently. I'm sort of annoyed, but whatever =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RickROM:
You scratched the oleophobic coating... not the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
I got a chip, :(

ordered xo, hopefully it fills it in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Always had a screen protector on my phone, I buy them off ebay (bought about 20 off the same seller, love his screen protectors). It just gives me a sense of mind if my phone falls, which it has. I also have an otterbox commuter (first time buying a case worth more than $10 :P). But it has saved my phone.

6 Foot drop out of my friends window smack onto concrete, no scratches :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
scratch?

do you know what scratched your screen??? I sometimes put my car keys in the same pocket as my gnex (although I try not to) and I have not gotten a scratch yet. I can see dropping the phone resulting in a scratch but even drops won't protect gorilla glass completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwoggon:
This is likely the case - especially if you can't 'feel' the scratch with your finger/nail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
no glass is scratch proof just some are more scratch resistance. Gorilla glass will still scratch, my Atrix had a few minor scratches. you notice when they do those demos at the gorilla glass booth they only use metal to try to scratch the screen? if someone tries to tell you that gorilla glass on their phone wont scratch ask them to prove it by rubbing some sand on the screen. Stuff like keys wont scratch your screen because they are relatively soft compared to the glass on your screen but stuff like sand and other glass can scratch a chemically tempered glass screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
I have a scratch around a centimetre long, I can feel it with my fingernails so I agree it is most likely the coating that is damaged .. any ideas how to repair, cover, remove the damage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
No scratches on any phones EXCEPT my G2x which had Gorilla Glass...

Don't believe everything you hear. Although this round I am sporting an XO SP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spudsmac:
I had a screen protector on since day 1 until a couple days ago when it started getting jacked up in the corners. It's so silky smooth without it on that I don't plan on putting another screen protector on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serpp:
This is the first phone with which I've ever had a scratch. I pretty protective with my phones. I don't ever put it in the same pocket as my keys. I'm still not sure what I did that caused the scratch. It scared me into getting a screen protector for the first time. I can still barely see the scratch through it. I got a Ghost Armor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2manycells:
I bought a screen protector weeks before I even bought the phone (as it wasn't available on the market at the time). I wasn't talking no chances. If they had the glass ones from Spigen available I would certainly upgrade. (too bad they can't make one due too the curved glass)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tekdeck:
Gotta have a screen protector

No big scratches yet, but I have noticed some tiny scratches at the bottom where I have laid it down on it's screen from the first few weeks of use. Now I have a screen protector as well as a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeekyfied:
While waiting for my bodyguardz to arrive(still waiting after 14 days), I went to buy a cheap screen protector even though it ruined the HD of the screen. Totally worth it though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlczl:
A few hardly noticeable scratches but it still looks better than a screen covered in even the most highly regarded protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
very very very soft screen.:eek:

very very very easy to scratch.:eek:

very very very easy to crack(if it dropped down):eek:

screen protector and case is a must have for this phone!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
I used to use screen protectors and cases .... I've reached the conclusion that both are ruining the experience with this phone.

Any screen protector will alter the image quality and also will ruin completely the oleophobic characteristics of the original screen.

Any case will add bulkiness (in all ways) to the phone. The only case I would ever use is the Ringke SLIM but this one will only provide a better grip and no protection.

So .. I ended up with the naked phone and with the official extended battery (2000mAh) .... the phone is in pristine condition now, after 3+ months of utilization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
I used my Galaxy S (Gorilla) for 1.5 years, no screen protector, without any scratch. Got the GN, and gave the Galaxy S to my girlfriend and within a month, she's now gotten two series of scratches (large and deep) on the screen. Asked what happened, and she said no idea, just normal usage, and screen sucks because it scratches easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
Coz she has diamond earrings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeartFan40:
Unless your phone has a sapphire crystal, it's going to scratch. Even Gorilla Glass will scratch. Use a screen protector, and take better care of your phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pinkthesink:
I can give you some suggestions/ideas.

My experience comes from the world of auto detailing. There are some really gentle polishes used to correct marring of plastic trim (typically, shiny silver colored trim) along with clear plastics; like those that house the odometer.

one popular brand, novus, comes in a kit. It includes a cleaner/protector, light polish, and heavy polish. Mind you, even the "heavy" polish is quite gentle compared to traditional clear coat compounding products. It's worth a try, I think.

You may end up removing or shortening the lifespan of the oleophobic coating.

The novus polishes would also be useful on the plastic body of the phone, among a dozen other uses.

another option might be an auto glaze. Glaze is sometimes used instead of a polish, when the clear coat is in relatively good condition. Glaze is suppose to fill in the micro marring and enhance "luster". You'll want a glaze that's as clear as possible. 3M makes some good ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hitek714:
Currently using Skinomi screen protector and SGP Neo Hybrid! Folks at work that see my phone can't even tell it has a screen protector lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Same with my screen protector that I buy off my good seller on eBay.

Except I have a small spec of dust under my screen but still its perfectly clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
I don't think she uses diamond or other gem earrings but will double check..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Any ear ring could do it potentially depending on material. Glass is about mid range as far as hardness goes compared to all other substances.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woostar88:
scratch is very possible. no matter what "technology" it holds... even for gorilla glass... they are simply fortified with some chemicals. when it gets wear and tear, they will eventually fade away, causing few scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kipperfish:
I hate screen protectors, but hearing all of the reports of scratches I went with an XO one.

They don't fit perfectly, but most of the time you don't even notice it.

The main thing that I find annoying is the increased resistance when swiping across the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eivi91:
Have had this phone since january, and it got no scratches yet. I dont like screen protectors, so Im probably not gonna put one on. :D I do have an Otterbox Commuter case tho, it protects the phone really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Screen protectors are for dorks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeartFan40:
If screen protectors are for dorks, what would a scratched screen be for? :D

You don't have to be a farmer to know what sh*t smells like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r0ckstar323:
Exactly, I've had 3 phones that had Gorilla Glass, OG Droid, Dinc, and Bionic, all 3 of them ended up with scratches on the screen. I only had the Bionic for a few months.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djnutz:
Ouch first scratch. Gorilla glass, while not perfect, never scratched on my previous 3 phones with keys, change (who keeps change), or whatever else in my pocket - in the past 2 or so years.

Had this phone for one month and I notice a 1/8" scratch on the top right. Bummer. I hate screen protectors and cases.

That and the fact it doesn't have a wolfson dac for Voodoo sound are major bummers for an otherwise awesome phone (oh and the usb charging issue).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I babied my Nexus for the first few months, then noticed a very small dot of a scratch, the one that looked like a pen or a small pin had hit it in the center. Fast-forward 3 months and the phone takes a tumble out of my shorts and onto solid concrete from the passenger side of my SUV, scrapes the back and dings the housing. Screen picks up minor scratches on the edge where the glass meets the plastic bezel at the bottom. I don't really care so much I found out, though I am replacing the White housing which is now scuffed up from eBay, and might buy a new screen if they drop to $100 with frame. The Sprint and Verizon Screens drop to that price point occasionally but I haven't seen the GSM model dip that low yet. Then again, I haven't seen the White Housing go as low as $25 as it did today, and I immediately grabbed it. I now don't baby the phone, and no scratches have appeared in addition to the tumble ones. Then again, I try not to look for them anymore as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nazrin313:
Got several scratches on mine...only cos i take it mountain biking as my gps...but since the phone is approx 6 months old...then, meh..i use a generic sp n the scratches are gone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
can you share the link for the white housing please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumpmanjay:
Scratched mine as well. I think it was either the rivet from my jeans or the zipper from my jacket. Either way, I now have an xo skin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshuwa:
I really believe the Gnex screen isn't too great for being scratch resistant. My nexus one still has no scratches to this day but after a couple of weeks of using my gnex I had a couple of hairline scratches, protector went on after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Warwickeo:
Had my Defy+ always together with my keys and didn't care about scratches. After >6 months of use I can't see any scratch on the screen.

Using a GNex for about a week now and already a small scratch. No keys involved of course :D However only on the first surface-layer and the pixels won't change color around it (which I hate!!!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
I agree with the main idea of the OP. My GNEX has one hairline scratch too. First phone I've ever had this happen to.

The problem is that screen protectors don't really work well with high resolution screens (higher DPI to be accurate) . If you disagree, go look for an iphone 4 owner with a screen protector. The screen starts looking blurred after the protector. This is not an effect that needs time, it's from the first second the slap that on

Overclocking

Will this kernel allow overclocking or just underclocking/volting?

Thanks!

p.s. I got the yellow triangle on second reboot, never had that before. Do I need to do anything or is it a big deal?

Considering the issues that others have reported using Rogue recovery to flash in ICS I opted for the tar and odin mobile. Worked perfectly and is safer as far as I can tell.

Correct....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
If you haven't flashed yet...

DO NOT FLASH ICS FOR THE FIRST TIME FROM ROGUE 1.2.1 OR NEWER

You'll want to use StockCWM EL26 to flash. See here for details about bricking issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Steady Hawkin:
Thanks for all the support. If we could keep this thread dev related and move comments/etc to the link in the OP it would be much appreciated :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
So if I am on ICS FC05 and want to goto FC06 I can use this kernel with CWM right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
That is correct
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Reignzone:
I know this new repacked version is relatively new, but I'm wondering if anyone can sound-off with reports of "SoD" issues?

If so, perhaps we could get the STOCK FC06 kernel?

Anyway, I ask because the FB27 repacked version was causing a few users to experience the "dreaded" SoD.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
Is this safe to use with FC05 rom? I don't want to switch to FC06 yet

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Awesome.... thanks man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Getting ready to flash to FC06 and saw you had this out. So this should really only be used to nandroid backup/restore of your ICS rom or for wiping caches since there may be issues when flashing anything in ICS. Am I understanding correctly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wonsteroca1:
This is awesome... Thanks! Because of this I was able to get FC06 with no problem...

Thanks again.

Just flashed it over Beta 3, works great. BTW, it seems FC07 is being leaked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I used mobile Odin to flash the kernel (which fixes stock boot loader bug that killed ROM manager in fc builds). Then used ROM manager to boot into recovery (not install). Then wipe cache, davlik, flash ROM all in same session. Use titanium backup to restore custom launchers, email accounts, etc. no reason to wipe data coming from fc05. Listen to the OP don't flash using Rogue cwm recovery.

I had tried it out first thing that i noticed is my Team Viewer was not working/installed. Fresh install as it is i tried to reinstall team viewer then told me it could not install in the User or external sd. External problem is expected on cm9, not this but this shouldnt be installing there anyways. Not sure why it wont install otherwise but i believe all my other apps were working fine. Heard of something like this before tried clearing cache etc.

No yellow triangle or anything which was a relief i never picked up a jig yet. I not having seen the line "do not flash any rom with this" flashed back to stock FC06 using it while I was at work.

Glad steady is making progress on this but if I shouldnt flash a rom with it at the moment i think i should stick to the stock kernel. Cant wait till we end up with an official build FC06 is working pretty well.

Was your phone not able to wake after a night on the charger? I pushed the power button to see if the phone would wake, but it never did and I was forced to hard reset.
