IF only the outer glass layer is cracked in your phone, these will be fine. But if the DISPLAY inside is also cracked you will need to replace that too and that is the expansive one which comes around for $180. Check carefully if the display is cracked or not.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashishb2012:
Hi all, yesterday was a scary and frustrating day. All of a sudden my charging port was not working... I freaked out... Restarted many times still no luck... Then I tried adjusting the micro USB, that helped but then again not every time.. It's just five month old nexus... I tried other chargers also to check whether it's a fault in phone hardware or the cable but still it wasn't charging.. So I thought I have to replace the micro USB... Meanwhile one friend suggested to try factory reset... I did that and guess what, everything started working as it should.. It was charging normally whenever I plug in the cable... But it wasn't a happy ending... Later I found WiFi is not at all working....I checked the router.. Everything was fine... I spent hours searching about it but no use... I got real frustrated.... One problem for solved but another generated... And yes I did another factory reset... And voila everything started functioning as it should.... So far no problems... But let's see how many days it stays the same

Would anyone be interested in selling the Main boards of their broken galaxy Nexus:o

Sent from my awesome Xperia Z
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Then sorry for being blunt but you just don't know whats the premium of having a nexus !!!

Better screen , faster and stable updates !

I have a s2 and a nexus, if you are looking for sheer performance with outdated tochywizzy experience then go with s2 / s3 but if you want cutting edge no holds bar up to date andriod its the nexus

the fact that people hear are willing to sacrifice the warranty to get this only safices !

Also its cheaper :D 23~24 K

your wish now my fello indro:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Just be careful, if you find a fault with the Nex's screen, make sure you return it. You'll get a 7 day return guarantee from the seller. Don't buy it if you don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
what kind of fault you are talking about in nexus screen and how do i check it :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
The screen's greys shouldn't turn into purple at low brightness levels.

The screen should not be grainy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
Though nexus is cheaper than S2/S3 ,

It's definitely a lot of risk for Indian users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
It is bcoz it is come without warrenty ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
Because it's coming with faults out of the box!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Not every nexus having falut. Its depand on you that wheater u check it before buy or check it on delievry. If it will having fault then replace with return warrenty.

Galaxy nexus gpu

isn't GN's gpu ancient? i have samsung galaxy R, thinking about buying GN, will there be a performance drop from tegra 2?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackfrost3821:
Have you considered ordering GNEX from that website? It is cheapest deal in India. :eek:

Please let me know if you have ordered it and if yes how is the product?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
requoting what i said before on nexus comparison with other phones

"I agree to your point that bechmarks are corner stones for gauging a phone performance but then you need to understand S2 was designed to be a market dominator and Gnex was designed to be a Ice cream sandwitch launch device.

you cant have a device geared to be a bearer of new os to be a market leader or dominator , if that is the case then there will be no way for older less capable devices to upgrade to the new os. if truly that were the case then what is difference of having a andriod ! i might as well have bough a iphone! (No pun intended)

If say ICS was released saying it will only support phones which have 720P resolution then what will all the might of S2 be useful for as it does not have a 720p as a matter of fact most of the phones in market would not have.

So my friend stop comparing a S2 to a Gnex or any nexus to any other device as a matter of fact because a nexus is google's child and as such regardless of its poor hardware its still the top gun in the andriod world as it has the pure google gene!

Its not the battle of the fastest its the battle of who has the cutting edge software ! "

back to your point tegra as of now there is no SOC which can beat exynos and its mali chipset so comparing tegra to power vgx in nexus tegra will be faster in terms of GPU but then are you gonna play crysis on your phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepanshu sharma:
Im thinking of getting it from the maniac site that someone posted above.but still im suspicious about the product.they do give a 30 day replacement gurantee too if i receive a faulty device but still.never heard of this site and thats the only thing im worried about.

Does anybody have a idea that when will next nexus mobile releasing ?

I recently change the screen protector of my Galaxy nexus with a GadgetShieldz one. It's a wet application type and took quite some time to install and it to dry up but it is a lot better than the standard(dry) protector i used before.

There were a few air bubbles visible after around 12 hours of applying but they have disappeared within 2 days. It looks and works so much better than the dry one. I recommend everyone to try this one out.

I bought it from ebay.in for Rs.349 and received it within 2days after payment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
Hey guys please help me out.I am going to buy my first smartphone in some days and my budget is 25k Rs.After extensive research,I have shortlisted the Nexus and S2 but will be willing to consider other options as well.S2 is like a Plan B buy as its more than a year old and is almost at the end of its product life cycle.

Nexus has really impressed me but as we all know Samsung dissappointed us by not launching it in India.A serious WTF decision indeed so if I do get the Nexus,I'll have major issues with getting it serviced if ever needed.

Anyways,please help me make the best choice.

thanks

So you think,I should go for the S2 instead just because the S3 is not affordable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
S2 is still one of the best selling and its not going to get old atleast in 2012. :)

As far as Nexus is concerned,its a Nexus and the name speaks it all. The resolution difference itself is quite a deciding factor. And I really love the Gnex White.

And heres something different which i found recently

So i came accross this reddit post...tried it...and believe me it works....

Galaxy Nexus Lag Fix - Reddit

and here is the original post

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40961

Note- You should have a rooted mobile. You have to edit build prop file which you can also do by using this app

Build Prop Editor - Google Play Store

Following is the change:

build.prop should be:

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m

instead of:

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=96m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aashuk Mehta:
Why don't you install the apk manually?:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashishb2012:
coz i heard few things were not working as it was not an official release..so i didnt update....tested my patience this time :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdhanush1:
But I'm not able to understand how changing heapsize would make it faster.. U may get details more abt this in the reddit post itself a comment by rkcr... And also mocking our community there...

As some people have claimed it works it worth trying... Maybe you should think of creating a new thread for this

Sent from my awesome Xperia Z
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashishb2012:
i am not sure but i read somewhere that heapsize will allocate the amount of ram allowed for any app or something like that. So when more processes run with large chunk of ram in each of them then it makes the ram memory full or almost full very easily.

On another note if you read the bug report link, google android devs have acknowledge the bug and marked it as a defect with medium priority thereby stating there is something wrong with the heapsize.

Broken screen

Hello guys. a friend's dropped his GNEX and broke the screen. He is in Chennai currently and wants to get it replaced? Any good trustworthy shops to take the phone to and get the phone replaced? Please advice.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Thanks man but the only risk is opening already a warranty-less phone. No soldering done on the phone, just paste some stickers and thats it.

I followed this Giude. Things required are mentioned there.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-mod-palm-touchstone-no-soldering-phone.html

I bought the Touch stone and the Palmpre back door kit from ebay.in for 1700 rupees. Received the item on 10th day

http://www.ebay.in/itm/230960151186?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2123wt_906

But if you buy from amazon you can get, the Palm Touch Stone + Back cover + Original Palm charger for around $20 (~1000 rupees).

http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Touchsto...qid=1367080386&sr=1-2&keywords=touchstone+kit

I noticed that the Touch Stone won't work with every charger, luckily it works with my Galaxy Nexus's original charger, however I had to trim down the microusb-end of the cable so that it would fit the touch stones microusb port. Its better to buy the touch stone with original charger.

Magnets (The metal plates came with the palm back cover also works, but magnets hold the phone with more force and may screw the compass of the phone)

http://www.ebay.in/itm/181111899481?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1333wt_906

I couldn't find the copper foil tape from any where, so I used Double Tape (both side adhesive tape) + Aluminum foil (which is used in the kitchen) to make my own aluminium foil tape.

With stock battery and Stock battery cover the fit is a little bit tight. I think extended cover will be best for this. or trimming the back cover using sand paper also might loose the tightness. I will try this when my exams are over. For now its ok even if its a bit tight

BEST OF LUCK AND BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN YOU OPEN THE PHONE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
Thank you so much brother. My USB port is anyways gone. So Iam compelled to repair it myself. Yet to order the part from eBay.com.

They are pretty cheap I say. Costs 4.99 for the entire USB with cable including shipping!!!(comes from China)

So when I take my phone apart, I will try this mod :)

Nexus for sale

Well guys i have decided finally to sell my Galaxy Nexus which has a damaged mainboard. I tried getting the mainboard from ebay.com in which i lost a best offer after retracting. (Damn it got sold for 90$ only). So i just thought selling it now would be more likely easy for me as i am short on cash lately now. So the phone is sold AS-IS and can be used for parts mainly the digitizer and the lcd. I am expecting 6k for this. Interested people can contact me.

Edit: Or anyone interested to sell their phones with broken screens and with other parts working, i would be interested in buying it.

The pin should be in the centre which is the exact position.

Be gentle in doing so. Too harsh, you will break the pin itself.

I've opened a thead for this, but since i'm in India , can someone help me with this / Is anyone facing this problem?

I suspect this happens after the phone exits sleep mode. The signal bars go grey, and I can't make or receive any calls.

People calling me say that they can hear the ring, but my phone doesn't receive the call.

When I try to make outgoing calls, there is no response and when I try to hang up, the dialler doesn't exit.

I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 JDQ39, baseband I9250XXXLJ1 on the GSM version of the phone.

I know.

I did try that already. Didn't work. Went to Gaffar to try out my luck, but they are charging exorbiant prices starting from Rs. 900 to Rs. 2000.

Anyways, I have ordered the part from AliExpress (since I had a good experience with them in the past). It cost be 289 bucks including shipping. LOL

Will get it installed from a local shop for 100 bucks. Till then I am using an external charger.
