lol ...nice for a suicide thingy also :P

too costly i think...i wld have bought if it was 300 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhargav143:
If u want a new battery and want an original samsung one in india... You will possibly fail to find it.

A solution for this is to purchase the battery of Galaxy S2 / Galaxy R and use it.. Although its 1650 mAh but u will get good results around 3-3.5 hrs screen on time... With average usage... Data on always...

And, the battery only costs about 500/-

And for those who complain battery wont fit the compartment...use a small cushioning/paper folded....

Buy it from flipkart for ease of purchase...

A smaller battery.... No way maan!

If anything, I would be willing to pay for an original battery from Samsung if it's of higher capacity and fits the galaxy nexus.

Is there such an option?

hahahahaha... this one is really long...:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pratzgh1:
Guys anyone using extended batteries here? If yes which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhargav143:
You may consider original extended battery from ebay.com not ebay.in

That is sold at $40 approx.

Which was very costly for me...

I instead took two of the above mentioned battery.... I get 6 hours of screen time on an outing with two batteries... & When at home just 3 hours with one battery...

What's your take on this battery? Am not able to make up my mind on the same.

This one seems more reliable, doesn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhargav143:
I had purchased one from seller "mobileacesories"...

That was a defective one...and got full refund...

After that I lost confidence on batteries with loose packing. I am not going to take any chances and hence I bought the Galaxy S2 or Galaxy R battery...with is having original samsung packaging and warranty....

So u can take a chance and report us back, if u are not satisfied u would be refunded. So don't worry.... Btw check refund/return policies...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etMind:
One of the sellers I linked to is away till the 29th of this month and I found his listing more reliable than the other one. The former also offered better returns policy.

My plan was to get one of these batteries and a separate external wall charger for them, like this one here; this way I always would have a fully-charged spare battery with me. But then, I stumbled across this listing and the number of those products the said seller sold is mind-boggling. Could it mean that the batteries are worth the money? I tried contacting one of the many buyers but for some reason, eBay is not allowing to do so.

Hi. I was riding on bike while it was raining . Though I kept my gnex in plastic cover it caught moisture. After reaching home I didnt see a single drop of water on phone so kept for charging with original charger. Then I smelled some burning from charging port so removed immediately. Now If I charge my battery from external charger then my phone is working fine but I can't charge it thru micro usb port.

What should be the problem?? Should I have to replace my usb pcb like this?

also I f u find anything cheaper than this then please tell

Should I go to samsung service center or get it repaired from local guy.

I am in Bangalore, plesae tell me good local service center to repiar my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhargav143:
Either way its...OK... Would cost u less than a 1000/- (300/- service + usb jack or whatever has damaged)

I have no idea about local service... May be eTechies are a good place to repair....

Replacing USB port

My USB port has the ghost charging issue sometimes, that is, showing 'charging' but not actually charging. Reading threads here, I see this is a known issue.

Anybody know a place in Bangalore where I can get this fixed? I have a Samsung service center nearby, will they fix it?

Guys, 'Sygic & Mapmyindia : GPS' app is currently available free on Google Play. This is the best navigation app for India, with offline maps. I have no idea whether it's their planned giveaway or a temporary glitch. Grab it before it's too late. The actual price of the app was Rs.1,399.

I went to samsung service center on infantry road... they were not ready even to take the phone in hands... as the phone is not launched in India they'll not give support even if you pay.

I also had charging issue recently which i fixed by bending upwards the tiny charger contact which can be seen inside the port. Try it :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
Yay!! I got an offer of 18k for my gnex on olx!!

An offer I cannot refuse with the new nexus releasing next month. :D:D;)

Thank you olx guy (looks like a noob)

The funny thing is he's coming from a different city to buy it! How dedicated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhishek93:
Only one thing :eek::what:

And congratulations :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
As far as I know your Galaxy Nexus has charging issues too.

I'm feeling bad for the buyer. He is paying so much and that too for a defective piece.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
Sometimes you gotta be mean , you know :D

But I have no charging issues. Its only data.

But we have airdroid to the rescue and moreover hell be excited to know such an app even exists !

And I have already ordered a charging port component which is on it's way :)

So it's cool.

Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Yes, Airdroid is there. But what if he needs to root/unroot, use adb tools, play recorded videos, etc.

I prefer MTP to play large videos, as you click to play and don't have the wait for the entire video transfer.

I hope you have informed the guy about the faulty USB port, but I'm sure you haven't. I'm actually feeling bad for the buyer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharingspider:
Buyer can anytime report or file a FIR if he wishes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
I'll speak to him tomorrow and convince the spare part is on it's way.

I feel bad too .

Moreover Iam giving him 2 batteries and 2 cases. So the phone is def in great condition with zero scratches. But it's the port . that's all.

But I'll sure let him know about it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Lol. In such cases the seller can easily say that I informed the buyer.

The buyer will be left helpless.

I'm feeling bad for him for two reasons:

1. He is paying a lot for the GNex (I feel he doesn't know that GNex and Nexus 4 are two separate devices and feels that they are different names for a single model)

2. He is paying much and getting a faulty piece.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharingspider:
Yeah that's right Nexus I9250 he can get from US for $70-$80. Anyways he has other methods as well to grasp money from the seller if need be. Is seller a sindhi ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
I don't know what it is with the people here , but they love paying more for anything doctors use :confused:

Cars / phones whatever it is!

But you guys totally made me sentimental and emotional :(

I already have ordered this battery today (use coupon: AIRTELM100 for discount), hope to get it soon. Last time I purchased from another seller but the piece was defective and I got full refund, but this seems good as the product manufacturing date is new..

Can anyone suggest me good charger, I am not able to find in ebay...

Hi All,

Need a help here. Around 2 months back i replaced my phones charging flex port since i was also having multiple charging issue. But now i am having a unique problem. Even though i connect my phone for wall charging, it says USB in the battery stats. Turning the ac power on/off sometimes corrects it else it remains the same. Suspecting a charger issue i used another charger(had a spare s2 charger) but found out that even that is not working out fine. It never says USB but sometimes does not charge at all. Again turning the ac power on/off works. has anybody faced the same issue. Where can i get a oem nexus changer in India. Could not find any on ebay n amazon. Suggest any other phones charger that works fine with nexus.

Regards,

Aniket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
i had the same problem, got it fixed for 220 rs at a local shop!

just get the small port fixed by a trusted and professional mobile repairer.

he will replace the small usb metal thing in the port.

thats it , no need to change the entire flex cable which will cost around 500-500 rs when ordered from other countries.

everything came back- AC charging, data too :)

and then i sold it . !

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

hey! just wanted to let you know that i sold my phone for 14k, not 18 k as i mentioned before.

i asked him time to get my phone repaired and then the olx guy never showed up.

then got everything fixed for 220 rs!!!

then sold it for 14k.

now waiting for N5, the excitement is killing me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aniketkuber:
Hey thanks for the help. Even i am from bangalore. If you PM me the place where u corrected it, it will great since its very difficult to trust anybody here. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
no i study in hubli, but im from bangalore.

i got it fixed at a local roadside shop , but he is very famous for repairs so i thought i would give it a try and he was just too good!

he did it in front of me, like a pro even though he had never repaired such a phone before.(thats important , otherwise people will fool you by deliberately damaging the device and doing paisa vasool)

also keep in mind that the phones board is similar to Galaxy S2, so that would definitely help in dismantling the phone.

Bangalore- i would suggest you to go to national market and there are a lot of shops doing repairs there, but i dont know who does it best.

just go there and enquire , and dont get fooled, the shopkeepers sound very sweet and try to booby trap you.

Observe people with a keen eye and make a decision.
