I almost went for that one a few weeks ago. It was priced less than $9 during that time when there was some sale going on at AliEx.

But decided against it cause I don't think I could have lived with that fugly look at all. The one I bought from MPJ has been shipped already and I expect to receive it in a month's time. Should be enough till the time I save up to by a Nexus 5.

The OEM battery is just not enough with only around 2 hours or thereabouts of OST.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
true that ;) mine is shipped too ..will be with me in 20days or so...hope its good

and were you able to find case for the phone with this battery ? people have reported having cases for the phone with extended battery but they got it from amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I hope there are cases for it as I'm very tempted to buy the extended battery but cannot live without a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etMind:
I had seen some when looking for good extended batteries on eBay.com but now, could only find this one.

Although it mentions Seidio, I am sure it will fit the other extended battery as well.

And this is the one from Amazon you were talking about. TBH, looks fuglier than the extended battery plus back cover :D.

My battery died :crying:. I bought some batteries from ebay.com from different sellers. They were claiming 100% original or oem with 6 months warranty. But Battery backup is very bad. My phone turns off at 40% battery remaining.

If any indian user has dead galaxy nexus lying around then please send me the battery. I can pay for battery and shipping charges.

Or else point me to original battery seller online

Guys, just buy the phone from ebay, u have protection in ebay (paisapay), just dont acknowledge the receipt of the phone till you are satisfied it works, once satisfied, acknowledge and rate the seller. If you guys continue pondering whether to buy or not, the next Nexus will also release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackfrost3821:
Best option is to get it from local seller if you don't feel safe to buy it online. I bought it from local seller checked everything about phone for half an hour and then made a payment. ;)

Okay, 1st of all, there are two Indian Galaxy Nexus threads, is there some spat between ul Indian GNex Users ???:p:p

Okay now, i need some personal opinions on few things regarding this phone (forgive me for not searching:p)...

-For Gaming, on Stock or AOKP/CM9 wihout OC/UV and too many tweaks, do the following games work smoothly or there is lag ???

1. Nova 3

2. Gta3

3. Blood&Glory

4. Other Gameloft Games...

basically how is gaming performance with high-end games ??

-How is HD Video Playback on Stock and cm9/aokp roms? using MXVideo player n codecs, does everything play smoothly without choppiness??

-How is sunlight legibility on full brightness under direct sun ??

-How is the sound quality thru the Headphone jack ?? close to gs2(okay) or close to gs1(great) ?? Any idea which sound chip is used in this ??

-How much memory is user accesible for Media storage? is it around 11gb ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
@zyryn post#296

I played Gta3 and Asphalt 6 from Gameloft on my Galaxy Nexus, stock, They ran smoothly....

I think 13.3GB storage space is available for the user, not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
Did anyone here get their Nexus from Chennai?If so please let me know asap.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Also,how do you detect if you have any screen issues on the phone(apart from the obvious flickering). I read some post on this thread which explained it,could someone let me know that soon as well.Planning to get the phone this weekend through a local seller.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drjamit:
Hey guys need ur opinion. Getting black galaxy nexus 2.5 mths old with original Samsung 2000mah battery and case for 21k. Please advise. I have to confirm by morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
That's ok, but check out any issues are there like purple screen, yellow tint etc. But for 24k you will get fresh one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
Hey guys,I have decided to go with the One S instead of the Nexus.The Nexus is just too risky for me as there wont be any service support from Samsung and I intend keeping a phone for at least 18 months.

So anyways,thanks for all your support here.Really appreciated your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drjamit:
But I m getting spare battery worth 2.5k and case worth 400. So effectively nexus is for approx 19k
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
are you really worried about service support ? any way as you know it is samsung device so you will get service from samsung but that would not be free. go with nexus its really worth apart from one s bcoz there is a huge dev support of nexus as compare to any other device and to get nexus you have to pay around 24 k for brand new and for one s you have to pay around 33 k i think so now decesion is yours :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Wow. I can't believe you are convincing others to buy a phone that you yourself are confused about. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
The service support is the only reason why I am not going for the Nexus.I read somewhere that a Nexus user was unable to get it serviced because the service center did not have any spare parts or something.I am not sure what may happen in the future as I've never had a touchscreen phone for more than 8 months but its better to be safe than sorry.

Are you sure that the Samsung service centers will help me with any future related issues with the Nexus?

Let me know soon,Ill be getting my new phone tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
Service centre won't have parts because it's not launched in the country. I think the one s launched in Asia is using old s3 chip instead of S4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
what do you mean ? listen i am not confused anymore i just give him advice and after that he is their own decision according to me go for nexus bcoz it is really worth as expect for rooting flashing kernel and rom nexus have quite good dev support. @techmania7 dude sorry to say i just confirmed that you will not get any kind of support from samsung in india. and nexus will b the first phone who will get jelly beans :p

Cause Honda did not get the piece of the the money you paid for the bike at hero !

Hence why would sammy india be intrested in providing you any warranty if they did not get any piece of the pie ! they will charge you for any piece of the pie you take from em!

Nexus is always the first to get any update even a small update .. that's called andriod royalty and every one with an nexus in there hands are the lords of andriod :cool: even novice's :p

Welcome to nirvana :D practicing your androansana daily ? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
My 2¢:

HTC One S - qHD display, lower pixel density (especially SMALED) which makes pentile matrix display more apparent is so not worth it at 33k INR (IMO). And once you see the pentile matrix arrangement, you jut cannot unsee it! Galaxy Nexus has a higher pixel density and hence it's not that apparent.

If you're considering One S, might as well buy the One X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Don't know about others but most my colleagues at office who bough one v and one x have faced hardware problems with them .. my cousin with one v had to replace his !

one s is available in india now ? did'nt know that, but then i had a DHD which had a shotty proximity sensor too ...

sorry HTC i cant profess my love to you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Yes, One S was officially announced a couple of days ago, I guess.

With respect to One X, that's what I've *heard* too. Also, One X with its quad-core processor actually lags! Can't believe how HTC (supposedly) minimized their bloated Sense UI! And of late, been hearing about the wi-fi problems too, which HTC has publicly acknowledged.

But, One X is the best phone when it comes to display at present. And its build is pretty solid too.

HTC has lost it! I had my money on them after having seen the One X initially. Seems like it's fizzling out.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whosaysjohn:
I never faced any problems with my One X...its a great phone...all phone these days have their shortcomings...but then I gave it to my friend and kept Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
Initially,I was considering the HOX but I read many hardware issues and its priced 35k+.The One S has a better battery life and feels more premium although the screen isn't the best but not the worst either.

I really want the Nexus as IMO it is the best Android phone in the market now but the risks are too great especially in the long run.

Honestly,you guys think that the One S is the greatest alternative to the Nexus?(S2 is not an option for me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Nope. One S, in my opinion, is overpriced for what it offers. And it doesn't come with the Krait CPU (S4). Are you considering S3? Although you would have to slightly extend your budget.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Seems like the problem isn't uniform. It's the trend these days with Android OEMs.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
international version S2 is better than the indian S3.

its a S3 which is like a7.5 x2 cores s2 with exynos smashes it .

the phone is not worth it , not unless they give s4 cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techmania7:
My budget was 25k but I am willing to go till 40k now.Knowingly that I'll be keeping the next phone for at least 18 months,it will be the safer option if I go for a high end model now.

I could wait for the next nexus phone but October is just too far away for me at the moment and so my impatience is paying the price.

The S3 isn't a bad phone at all,it fits in the pocket easily and on the whole is a solid phone.The One X isn't bad either but the battery performance is just pathetic,while on that front,S3 just smokes the HOX away.

I could have bought the S3 today but Ill wait for another day and research any better alternatives.ONe thing is for sure though,Ill be getting my new phone tomorrow,so lets see what pans out.

Would love to know your views as well.

thanks

You dont get the Exynos S2 in india only the first batch were internatinal S2 with exynos right now 99.9% of the stores will only sell u the S2 i9100G which is a gimped version of S2 .

im surprised u didnt know this considering ur a member on XDA .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drjamit:
It shows deal has ended
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Bro check my sig i own a s2 ! :D that to a exynos one not the G one i know the diff . Contrary to popular belief it was the huge demand for exynos that forced to out the nvid chip in the G model you will find the exynos ones still in india but you gotta search a lot for it ... but if you read your comment

"international version S2 is better than the indian S3.

its a S3 which is like a7.5 x2 cores s2 with exynos smashes it .

the phone is not worth it , not unless they give s4 cpu."

im confused with indian S3 as far as i know there are only two versions of s3 one with a s4 cpu for the us market and one with the exynos for the international.

and if you are referring to the international version s2 being better than US s3 you might be a slight bit right as it does not have mali GPU but then on sheer CPU S3 will PAWN the international S2

but then why you want a pentile international S2 with you have clear 720P screen of s3/gnex ? whats the use of the speed with your games and videos look crappy on the international s2 :cool:

Hi,

I bought SGN so that I directly receive updates from Google but soon it was bought to my notice tht not every SGN receives update from google nd it has something to do with the build/watever....

I even got to kno thrz a way to fix this.... I read the manual.... as it is I wasnt too sure I vl b able to pull it off nd thn something written in the end added fuel to the fire.... it said 'Do at ur own risk, U mite brick ur phone'

I have already broken my screen 1nc nd had to pay more thn half the phone's price to get it shipped.... I want to change the build but i dont want to 'hurt' my phone again....

Kindly suggest.... nd it vl b awesome if ny 1 of u could help me pull it off with ur expertise....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
Flashing ROM will not hurt or brick your phone but don't do blind flash.

First you check weather it is yakju build or not, if not download the factory image from Google and flash using fastboot.

see efrant's guide. it will help u

If it weren't for Samsung not releasing nexus in India and warranty problem from buying nexus device elsewhere, I wouldn't have gone for S2.

It's not that I regret buying the S2 but waiting for Android updates sucks on non nexus devices. I'm glad it's Asus this time doing nexus tablet and not Samsung/Motorola.

At least we might see nexus 7 in India and Asus is pretty good in providing updates which can be seen from their transformer series tablets. I wish Google screws Samsung completely and gives Asus to release their next nexus phone.

... And here I wait in doubt to see Jellybean on my S2 probably in 2013 :( :o

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bl@ckadder:
Would love to have this phone, even if it means bidding adieu to my trusty Nexus S. Having said that, dropping ~25k on a device with no warranty or manufacturer support is likely to induce a heart-attack than any excitement for me.

Hopefully, Samsung will come to their sense and officially launch the GN here soon. Maybe once all the SGS2 stocks dry up and there's a gap in that price range.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
May be they will launch this device in India coz Galaxy nexus is banned at USA.

hmm... yea.. we have to wait i guess. once it locks, its as good as it can get. but the locking takes a lot of time.
