Is it "very yellow"? if possible take a pic and post it here. My Nexus's screen also has a very little yellow tint on whites.

In the mean time have a look at these threads. They are regarding Galaxy Nexus's screen problems and how to calibrate it

Hello everyone..

New to Nexus family .. An Ex-SGS2 user... Got my phone from UK...Hoping to bother u ppl will loads of queries in future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaju8899:
Hi guys. bought brand new nexus for 21K. it came with 4.0.1 and upgraded to 4.1.1. via OTA updates I rooted after that. phone is performing nice.

though i am facing weird issue with EDGE connection drops. I am on BSNL postpaid connection. My EDGE is not at all stable.it frequently drops and doesnt connect automatically. i have to reboot the device to get the connection back. BASEBAND is XXLF1. I have tried GETRIL and it is matching.

I have tried newest baseband UILE1. but that didnt solve the issue. and problem is not from BSNL's end as same connection was working fine with my previous Samsung Vibrant.

Any inputs ?

Thanx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] technogravy:
Congrats dude.. the yellow tint on whites is common in a few devices. (Mine included) most amoled screens are either yellow or blue tinted. The amoled just needs a little config.

I fixed mine by flashing a custom kernel and fixing the colors with trickster mod from the market.

Most people prefer trinity for the colors, I'm using the stock slim bean kernel.

in irla you will find many shops, alfa would be most expensive, so look around, just opposite alfa is fine collection i think he gives a good price, then there is a mall next to it, on the ground floor on the right there is a shop i bought from there

dont worry about the phone being locked, they let you check the phone use your sim make a call etc

Use third party softwares kill user apps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Since Jelly Bean, there's no option to completely disable background data, can only turn off sync so that nothing gets updated. Also, if you're talking about apps in the background, then Android automatically keeps apps in memory, can't do anything about that.

i used the toolkit method to root, i selected option 8 one click do all, now after the whole process my phone booted, i can see the super user app, BUT .. my phone has the same layout as i had kept with all the apps, my sd card stuff is not wiped as well .. is it suppose to be like this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Yes, it doesn't seem to have worked since nothing got wiped. Did you select the correct phone and Android version at the initial menu? Try the procedure again.

nexus price query

Hey guys any idea that after the new nexus release will the galaxy nexus i9250 have a price drop in india on ebay ?

whats ur opinion should i wait r should i buy it now?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
I don't think it will drop that much, It's already dropped to 20K and strong rumours shows that next nexus will be from LG, hope so they will be launching in India. Most probably next nexus will announced on this month last or next month, so better to buy next nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivek2701:
I am about to trade my galaxy note with nexus. Now i am aware of the few things that are vital before jumping the ship:

1. No warranty - i can be wrong here but normally after having used many androids, have never faced much problems.

2. Low specs than say my note or s3: i can say that i dont use the camera that much, neither do much gaming. All i want is a snappy OS.

3. It is cheaper, way too cheaper than s3.

So IMO nexus would be just about right for me. Although its an old phone now i hope this decision doesnt haunt me later. Lol.

Please share your views as you know this phone better. Thanks.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
it cant haunt you later cuz see where the phone stands in the market .. there arent many dual core phones so it will be a long time before this phone is outdated, plus the developer support for this phone is second to none so your in good hands with future updates

the phone is a good size perfect to carry around and one hand usage, so i see no reason not to get this beauty :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivek2701:
thanks for reassuring, have made up my mind n giving my note to my cousin only, if i miss my note i can always take it back for a while.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:

Galaxy Nexus Flash player

I am interested in buying galaxy nexus from ebay india but worries about flash player. As my main motive is to watch online. In some forums it is mentioned that is does not support flash player and html 5 videos. I just want to know can we play flash videos in browser. Is is safe to buy from ebay. As one seller is selling this phone for 20,990 but the seller has different prices for same product like in other listing its price is 22,990 with everything same.

Dont worry about the flash player. Its not officially available on play store but you can install the flash player apk. Get the 20,990 one, just confirm from the seller that it is the GSM version. :)

Hi All,

I want to buy Galaxy Nexus from ebay india. Can anyone tell from which seller i can buy? as i am new to ebay. Will they provide manufacturer warranty? Please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
No way they can provide manufacturer warranty as the phone is officially not available in India. I bought one yesterday for a friend of mine from 'dhimaninfotech' for 20,750. It was in the deals of the day offer. Try any seller who has good ratings. Don't forget to check the buyer feedbacks for that seller.

Stock ROM with Trinity kernel = ~24hrs

It really depends on usage but generally 1 1/2 days for me with the following combo:

Paranoid Android 2.+

Trinity kernel a63

2 hrs screen time

1. Screen time and color preset value

2. Have you turned off any wake locks by apps like Gmaps?

Which scratch guard? I'm looking for one to cover the full front and not only the screen.. the 'Scratch Guard's brand only covers the screen I heard.. I've had good experience using Gadget Shield on my Nexus S.

3 hrs screen time and using trinity default color preset i haven't turned off any wake locks by apps DOES it effect battery backup ?

i dont know which srtachguard it is but it covers the whole screen, only its cut out at the speaker and camera, it had a shiny red cloth to wipe the screen if this gives you any clue lol

using without a scratchguard well that is surely living on the edge lol, especially with no warranty :silly:

yesterday dint use my phone much since i was out and then came home used the phone a bit n slept .. it was doin to 54% in 18hrs screen time 1.5hrs .. data was off while i slept for say 6 hrs maybe .. so yea i guess this battery is good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
As many have mentioned depends on usage

For example Battery lasts for a day 8 am - (Next day charge starts at 6 am)

Screen -3.5-4 Hrs

Music < 1 hr

Calls- 40 mins (on an avg)

Using CNA (latest nightly) with Franco - r282

PS: Gmail Sync switched off. Using Email app with 30 mins refresh (3g on all the time)

Planning to try Juice defender , will keep you posted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
3 hours is nice.. which ROM do you use?

Yes, you can use "Alarms" category under "BetterBatteryStats" app on the play store to check which application is "waking up" the phone very often. I see that maps/location services does it too many times a day.

Next nexus from LG? Hope it releases in India and I'll make a switch from my S2 :)

All I need is a removable battery with sd card slot. Rest of features will be pretty much standard and better than previous nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I wouldn't get my hopes high on having a sd card slot on a nexus device. If the leaked pic which they are saying is the LG nexus, is the real one, it doesn't look like it has a removable battery either, BUT if the rumors are correct the device it self will be a pretty high end phone with S4 quad core and 2GB RAM, then again they are still rumors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
I hate having a storage crunch on my phone. I have lots of HD videos, music and cwm backups etc and 32GB sd card just makes it great. I don't have to bother about deleting or un installing stuff like my previous phone which had 128MB internal memory :p

I'm guessing 2013 will be year of nexus based devices or phones running pure AOSP Android. Enough of this BS about getting a new phone to have latest Android update or waiting for months or years to get an update on your phone.

doubt about update

Hello all

I have bought galaxy nexus few days back from eBay, since then its asking me for update. Please tell me should I update it? I am little worried because it may mess up something. Please help me as I don't know anything about Android I have been using iPhone for last 4 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Er, why would it mess up anything? Android isn't that bad you know.. :P

But yeah, updating will Jelly Bean will mean the volume levels of the phone will go down a little, but Jelly Bean is totally worth it over the crappy Ice Cream Sandwich to give up a bit of volume. So go ahead, update it. Nothing will go wrong.

PS: Your phone might update first to a newer version of Android 4.0, then to Android 4.1. So get both when notified ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manujis:
Thank you for quick reply.. updating it now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Hmm, but the ICS was not at all crap.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Oh yes it was. It was laggy, slow to respond (on touches and in the interface), which made it utter crap in my opinion. It was totally unoptimized and was more a design upgrade than a performance upgrade, again, in my opinion. If anyone told me to go back to ICS now, I'd rather kill myself :P

galaxy Nexus i9250 vs Sony xperia S

Guys i know this has been discussed some months back on this forum...but stil i would like to bring it up again...coz

1)Xperia S ebay price is 22750 with servpro warranty

2)ICS now...may be in 3-4 months might get JB..

And all know in hardware it has an upper hand over nexus...

so in complete dilemma which one to go for???

Ebay price for nexus is 21900..also with servpro warranty..

Plz ur suggestions???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
It really depends on what you want. The Xperia has a little higher hardware configuration and a much higher resolution camera. But on the software side Galaxy nexus wins. As you said Xperia MAY get JB in 3-4 months or may take longer than that or may not even get JB, don't even hope for the next version. However the GNexus is running JB since july and is sure to get may be at least next 2 to 3 versions(like 4.2 or 5.0).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
As Google as said,they will be coming up with a stock rom version for Xperia S which will be renamed as a Nexus phone. If it comes then you'll also get the updates quickly. But its not out yet.
