[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewlax120:
thank you for the guide.

my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?

if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.

Hi,

I am looking to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus and upgrade my Verizon contract. I didn't see good reviews for this phone. I heard lot of complaints about poor signal reception, call quality and battery life (reviews like PCMAG and others). I am not too worried about the camera but if the signal and call dropping is real problem, then I don't think it's worth considering this phone.

Anyone experienced any issues? If so, is there a fix?

Please help me making a decision.

Thanks,

Kala
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
i havent had any issues with call dropping or anything like that

signal in my area is very very strong (full LTE coverage, full bars) so i cant comment on that part
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protocol 7:
I get full bars of 4G where I live, and 30mb/s, but then again I live in Manhattan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njKeever:
Not sure where you're looking at reviews, but Verizon, Amazon, Best Buy, and WireFly all average ratings of 4+ out of 5.

FWIW, I live in OKC and came from an LG Revolution that always had full strength. My Gnex seams to normally have 2/3 out of 4 bars, but I've never lost signal and get the same speeds I did on the Revo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikamo2:
I've never had a dropped call on this phone. I live in Tucson and I get 2-3 bars of 4g usually at around 20mb/s.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
The thing that messes measurements up for people, and has unjustly lead to a poor reputation, is:

1) Non-4.0 phones never report LTE signal strength. They will always show CDMA signal strength. Since the LTE network is a lot patchier than it should be given the low frequency it operates on, people assume the 10db difference is due to phones. It is not (google AnandTech Galaxy Nexus if you want to see an exhaustive test). Switching the phone to CDMA-only will put it on-par with other devices.

2) The phone uses considerable hysteresis (averaging the signal over a period of time) when calculating its signal strength. You literally have to two phones next to each other and wait for 10 seconds for the GN to accrue enough data to give you an accurate reading. Most phones will give you the last reported strength, so you'll see the dbm reading change every half second based on slight changes in angle and atmospheric conditions.

The Nexus is at least as good as the OG Motorola Droid (the only phone I've compared it to side-by-side), with a variance of +/-3 dbm, which is probably within the margin of error for these things. And at least in my experience, it will NOT drop a call. I've held calls in areas that had almost no signal (zero bars, -120dbm reading), and while the call got choppy when I ducked under some steel structures, it didn't disconnect. Having used AT&T, T-Mobile and US Cellular recently, I don't know if it's phone or network, but it's impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
Just make sure you close apps with ads on them through multi-tasking button (swipe them away), turn GPS off, turn 4G off and battery will last you an entire day with texts, calls, web serving and playing apps. No dropped call or signal issues, camera doesnt focus that well even after touching the auto focus. I would buy this phone again in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swaggerjacker:
I had two of these. The first wouldn't charge. It also kept loosing the 4G signal. This meant dropped calls and messages not being sent. I picked up a "New" replacement and the phone charged fine. The dropped signal issue persisted with the new device. BTW, I'm in Albuquerque NM.

I tried several radios, but to no avail. The call quality isnt very good either. I really wanted to keep the phone, but have no use for a device that will only work flawlessly on 3G. I was even willing to sacrifice call quality because I don't talk very much on my phone.

Google the Nexus and connection issues. You'll get a grip of links to read about signal loss. The problem seems to be area specific. You may have no problems. I now have the Galaxy Note. Works well, but ATT is slower than VZW in my area (No LTE). The call quality is the best I've ever experienced. Now waiting for ICS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NintendoSpy:
A far as call quality goes, on the Verizon GNex, it's really awful. I often find myself asking people to repeat themselves a lot more than I should. My old Samsung Solstice (feature phone) had much better call quality but then again that was on AT&T. Also until it's fixed you have to deal with people on the other end of the conversation occasionally not being able to hear you, its happened to me twice now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You are insenuating it is the network that affects your call quality.

It is not. I don't think anyone will argue that a feature phone is better as a phone, than a smartphone is, as a phone. Call quality is not the reason you buy a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blazewit:
I have had nothing but problems w the lte gnex. In side by side comparison between the gnex, Droid 4 and the stratosphere the gnex will say -120 dbm while the others will b in the -75 to -85 range. On top of that the othe to phones hold on to 4g much better. In places where the nexus has -120 dbm 3g signal pulling 500kbs the other 2 phones have nearly full 4g bars pulling 25mbs. On top of that the nexus can take up to 10mins to switch from 4g to 3g and vice versa while the others take 30 secs max. The gnex is the best phone I've had but after 2 replacements and trying every radio combo available I just cant deal with this BS any more
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joh9356:
I have similar experience. While I can receive a signal about 80% of the time with the 4G network, while I am on that network, my call voice quality is horrible. What I hear is fine, what other people hear from my voice is unacceptable. I have been on Verizon tech support, many days and hours trying to get this resolved.

From what I have read above, I have to agree with everyone that is trying to say that this is not a network issue. I agree. it is the phone, plain and simple. I used the Galaxy S II, and that is possibly the best phone I have ever owned. That was on the Sprint network. I had to switch to Verizon because where I moved, I had no Sprint signal. When I switched to Verizon, that phone was not available. I chose the Nexus. I should have waited for the S3.

I don't know what to do at this point. 4 months of phone replacement, SIM card replacement, PRL updates, Phone OS updates, etc. Verizon is calling me back again tomorrow in the continuing saga of call quality diagnostics...

I will try to keep everyone up to date, if you are interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
No problems here. After the 4.0.4 update the random reboots stopped. Calls have always been clear, and even clearer after the update. Recently upgraded my wife's phone to a GNex and same deal - no problems. Were in and out of 4g in the Puget Sound area and switching is not an issue. Happens fast and for the most part flawless. Only on a few rare occasions does the phone seem confused and stop getting a data connection for a few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old Crow:
bad radio?

I have had issues with outbound call quality. The person on the other end says I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, Wawahwa wa wawwa. First time it happened I went to Verizon and they swapped out the SIM. Good to go for a couple weeks then it started again. Back to VZW and they sent a replacement phone which i transferred the second SIM to. Great for a few weeks and back to VZW for a THIRD SIM. This morning I got the OTA 4.2.2 and Im back in class with Charlie. Im wondering if its the radio at this point...ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 3235597:
the issue is the radio.

I 100% hated this phone.

I had it for almost 2 years and I've been threw 3 of them, all had the worst call quality Ive ever seen in a phone. to the point it couldnt even make a phone call. random screeching sounds, dropped calls, I would hear the person but they wouldnt hear me. I had to take it back for the USB plug on it breaking, had a REAL bad screen once where it would burn in after being on for not even 10 secs. Nothing but problems

I have real strong signal strength in my area so having on these issues is un called for and NOT looking good on verizon.

I hated this phone so much I ended up buying a GS3 on ebay and never looked back

I do NOT recommend this phone to anybody.

You have to key in your APN manually... go to your Operator's website or ask customer service.

Then key in the details into:

Settings>System tab>Mobile Network Selection>Access Point Names>New APN

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
APN = Access Point Name = GPRS/3G settings in your phone from your network provider.

Contact your provider for the same.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] adotkdotjh:
You will be able to use a stylus as long as it's designed for any capacitive screens. Capacitive stylus has a conductive tip so that capacitive screens can recognize the pen. Typical hard tipped stylus for pressure-sensitive screens won't work.

I bought some capacitive stylus on ebay for 40 cents, and they work fine. Don't expect them to be precise though.

[Kindle Fire General] freestylejunki32:
if you are looking for everyday stable use i wouldnt recomend going above 1GHz and use the on demand profile. If you are really trying to get the best battery life though you can use something like setCPU to underclock your KF when the screen is off or the battery drops below a certain percentage. Just dont go too low because it seems to cause SOD issues at least for me with CM9. I currently have mine set at the stock 1008MHz high and 300MHz low and govenor: on demand with CM9 and get at least 12 hours of prety high use out of it.

Do I revert to JFD the same way with GB bootloader as I would with froyo bl ?

Going from 4.0 to 2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
From what I understand you can revert back to JFD normally unless the JFD Odin package contains only an Sbl.bin or only boot.bin...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Pretty sure there are not any ROMs with them in there, so you should be safe.

If you do Odin back to stock, chances are that you'll lose your GB bootloaders as most pit/tar packages will restore you to Froyo bl's.

If you want GB bl's, you'll have to reflash them again. That is ususally what I do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1217:
So Odin to stock JFD then flash gb boot loaders after .

Was wondering cause there was a JFD file specifically for GB BLs which doesn't have a working link
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yep. That'll work just fine.

That JFD was floating around and I might have a copy of it somewhere on my HD, but really if you've flashed bl's before, then you know what's up and don't need that package. It is more for noobs who are scared to flash the bl's by themselves.

[Windows 8 General] armored:
I have been loving Windows 8 so far. I am running it solely on my Alienware M17X R2 with dual m4780 HDs. I had no problems with the drivers, except installing CCC in windows 7 compatibility. I originally had it dual boot, keeping my windows 7. After using it so much, I decided it was fit for my main OS.

One thing I have noticed is my live tiles, despite having data behind them, don't have the lovely live tile aspects as WP7 does. No contact faces flipping over the tile, no album artwork, pictures...anyone else have this problem?

And, in general, how do you all like Windows 8?
[Windows 8 General] makoute:
I don't think it's a problem, more like that is the state of it until it gets official.
[Windows 8 General] armored:
That's what I thought. I just thought I'd check, see if anyone else was having more success with them. I have seen some demo videos online where the tiles seem perkier.
[Windows 8 General] valtonray:
The only thing I've noticed is that the people app doesn't refresh at the rate I would like for it too. I do like the CP though and it's to be expected that not everything would be perfect. I just can't wait to get this thing themed and customized, I'd really like to set my metro tiles up with some custom pictures like I've seen for Launcher7 layouts.

:( no notification sounds

my live tiles are moving up and down instead of flipping around as we know from wp7. for example a contact tile (just one, every other seems to be frozen), wordpress, mail…
