OEM Extended Battery 2000 MAH + Cover

Hi guys,

Has anyone here picked up the original extended battery (2000 mAh) & back cover through online shopping here? Supposedly better battery life(3 hrs more than the standard 1750 mAh) and excellent aesthetics. If the G-Nex ever had authentic accessories something like this would be close.

Please let me know if anyone has been able to get hold of one.

Nexus!

Hi All,

Finally i have my Nexus. Upgraded from Galaxy Ace.

Am using it for the past two weeks.When i received the phone, it was loaded with ICS.Used it for some hours then the thought came, whats the point in having a Nexus without having a the latest OS.

Browsed through the xda forums, learnt many things. Unlocked the boot loader, Rooted the device,Flashed the stock JB from google.Should I say, it is indeed a huge upgrade, literally we could see/feel the difference.

I am getting 12 hours of battery life, with full time on 3G/H ,with videos and music .Also I do some ebook reading on the go.

Pretty much impressed by the device.:good:

Went further deep into android, Flashed Cyanogenmod 10 last week, and now running on Paranoid Android 2.1.;)

And this is first ever post in a XDA-Forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Glab to see you one more indian user :) welcome to nexus family :) you are getting 12 hour battery ? on which rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
Thank you.

From Stock to Cyanogenmod and Paranoid Android, all gave me an average of 12-13 hours.Didnt feel much difference when switching ROMS,maybe cos of my usage,;) .Right now am testing PA 2.1 with Trinity Kernel. Will let you know if there is any big difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I am using franco kernel on stock rom but didnt find any difference may be i have to buy franco.kernel updater app config kernel !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
How much battery backup do you get on stock and Franco. Any other advantages of Franco kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I didnt find any such huge difference between them :( the main advantage is smoothness :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
Yup. Smoothness is there. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n1newbie:
hi guys. gud to see fellow indians here :) . i need some details abt this phone. so i thought it will be better to get it from you all.

actually my frnd was looking for his first android phone below 20k. so i suggested him GALAXY NEXUS. i searched in dubai site(he will get it from there only) and found a i9250 model for AED1199 = inr 18k approx.

so nw my questions are

1. wats the current price for it in india?

2.wats with i9250? will it get timely latest updates?(he wont root,unlock bootloader etc) he will use it plain stock.

3. wats yakju/takju thing? should i care for it if i need to stay stock or will it affect getting updates?

4 .how is the battery life with stock rom?

5. is there any other cons?

6. will u guys suggesst anyother model for 20k with video calling support?

this is the link of the site http://www.gridzdirect.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250.html

pls help me with ur views guys

thanx :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Ofcourse CM10 give you more customization rom than stock and CM10 is restriction free :) it not stable so it has some bug but you can use it in daily use :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
Hi,

If you are using GB or ICS,and you switch to corresponding cyanogenmod, you will definitely feel the performance boost.Everything will be more smooth and fluidic.

But since JB came out,it ensures that the constant frame rate is maintained through the OS.CM10 is the modified version of JB, adding a high level customization to the smoothness factor.

Battery backup also is supposed to be better in CM10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mssajith:
A small help

Hey, I am planning to buy Nexus from the same store? Did you get JB OTA update? I asked them about it but were pretty much clueless. They said their stuff is imported from Middle east and Malaysia. It is with some Serve Pro warranty.

Please let me know.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n1newbie:
any1 pls ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajslave:
It costs about 22-24k here, needless to say without any warranty. Yakju is the one without google wallet and Takju is the one with it- doesn't matter, cuz Wallet doesn't work here anyway. Updates, yes it will get for a long time, but you might have to follow efrant's guide to get the first update though (search for link in previous pages).

Stock ROMs are good for the most part- its hard to resist the temptation to change to a custom ROM :p. But stock ROM+ custom kernel will definitely help with battery life, when you want it.

I am using Capdase Xpose 2 case which came with a Screengard. Although its good in quality and looks, it makes the phone very bulky.

Resident Jer*k answer !

Alright let me be the resident jer* :D

From point 2 & 3 i know that you are a noob (i mean a complete andriod NOOB ! ) and have no idea of what a nexus is ! for guys with this iq about this phone will never be satisfied with the phone and we will end up seeing thread like nexus VS my computer which is best.

The best part point 1 !!!! its not available in india if you have close uncle in samsung or if sammy owes you a sh*t load of money then may be after tremendous persuasion will sammy release this phone that too in fear of lossing big chunk of S3 and Notes customers !

5. Cons:

a. You need to know whats a nexus line stands for

b. You need to know whats ADB

c. You need to know what is ASOP

d. you need to figure out if you need a phone or a camera or a Mp3 player or a laptop !

e . The BIGGEST Con you need to be in a position to pour 23~24 K down the drain for this phone .

So after all this if you still think this phone is suitable for your friend then make sure he knows a lot more then ya do :p

i know the whole thing came out blunt but i dont want any one spend there money on some thing that they would never be satisfied of !

My suggestion look at sites like GSM arena and fiqure out what best phone you could get as you have clearly mentioned your friend is not going to root his phone , in my view non rooted nexus is like a virgin sunny leone ! (There's no fun in it !)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:

Hello

Using this phone from week now..Updated to jelly bean on 1st day. .;)A gorgeous device..Upgraded from galaxy s2..Now

suggest me best custom kernel for stability and battery backup..I want to use it with stock ROM..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n1newbie:
its no problem bro. he(notanoob) might not know that i am not a noob. he might have considered me a noob cos of my username(n1newbie). i have been using nexus one for a year and have done a lot of modding n he says me that i should first knw abt a NEXUS device.hmmmm

actually it was for my frnd. i have read reviews abt galaxy nexus but wanted to know first hand experience from u guys. but no probes bro i got some useful infos.

PLS respect fellow mates and try to help if possible. thanx AQIB PATEL :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
@Aqib Patel

Hi,

I dont have much experience in Kernals, but currently running trinity.

I have tested the following ROMS and are pretty impressed with the features they provide- CM10 and Paranoid Android. I would suggest you to put any of those,if u wanna break from the stock ROM.

Also MIUI and AOKP are two other ROMS that I would like to try next on my Gnex.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aqib Patel:
Welcome bro..GNexus is best device at that price point..It is rock solid without any modding ,rooting..I am using it with plain stock Google experience from a week now..& yes jellybean is awesome..here at xda , we are flashing addicts..so I am now flashing paranoid..;)

thanx for ur inputs bro :thumbup: . the most important thing i would like to know abt is the battery life of stock gnex i9250...

how does it feel in the hand? is it comfortable to hand n msg wid single hand?

also does it get OTA update automatically or should i follow efrant's guide to get it?

thanx a lot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Thanks meter does not translate to knowing every thing bro :)

I specified clearly in the bottom of me post i did not want any one to waste 24k on a phone without knowing its limitations !

I know my post is blunt and arrogant but look at the forum full of nexus comparisons.

With due respect n1newbie as a n1 user do you not know nexus gets the first update for any nexus phone ?

using n1 for such long time do you not know about custom rom's and there advantages over stock roms ?

My answer was taking all this into consideration that you have a N1 (father of all Nexus) and that you have been here for some time (which is totally irrelevant :D)

I have seen multiple user's who have bought this phone expecting so much that they end up putting threads comparing gnex to every thing.

Search this thread and you will find my apt answer for that when some one compared it to a S2.

Anyways congrats on your new phone :) make sure of its limitations and happy modding :peace:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aqib Patel:
Well , battery life is quite well...Giving me full day of heavy use...I previously had galaxy s2 , battery life is better than s2 ...

About updates , it is dependent on your build .When I bought gnex ,my build was yakjuxw ...so I have to convert build to yakju or takju..as yakju & takju gets updated first than other builds..

Gnex feeling extremely comfortable to handle.I can easily type single handedly..

Especially white one looking gorgeous..:)

Off a shop in Mumbai

I Just grabbed my GNex from a shop in mumbai .... and comparitively fount it better than going for any other phones!!.... now want to know how can i update it to JB without flashing it again!!.....

dnt wanna take any risks with this one!...using my Galaxy 3 to figit with .. so please let me know how to update to galaxy nexus if any of u find a way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aqib Patel:
I don't think that comparison is crime.By comparison you can easily convey what you intend to convey.If it is against forum rules ,then inform me..We Indians are here to help our brothers.. & some guys are really helping others (like kaushikd & evil.penguin etc.)..you are ruining their work..

& yes wider thanks meter=more helpful =having more knowledge ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
Wow, that's nice. How's battery life now? have you tried the kernel trinity?

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Peace Brothers.

I had a choice between Galaxy Nexus and Samsung S3 when i got this device. I chose Galaxy Nexus.

Why Galaxy Nexus?

1. Google's Device - First phone to get the latest update. (Samsung devices with touchwiz will have to wait more than three months to get an update)

2 . AMOLED HD screen - Even S3 has the same resolution,but Gnex is smaller and handy. (Depends on the user to consider this as a pro or con :D)

3. Whats the fun in having an Android without flashing it? Gnex got one of the largest base of ROMs available.;)

4.Pretty decent camera .

5. Software buttons only/No hardware buttons. (That too depends on the user :D )

6. A whole 10+ K less than S3.

7.Also good specs for the price you pay.

8.Very uncommon device in the gang!!! :D

Why not?

No Warranty/Support in India as its not released here !! Anyway am gonna flash ROMs on the device,Warranty will be void.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n1newbie:
bro i clearly mentioned that it was not for me. i was asking for my friend, who doesnt like rooting stuffs.

i knw very well that only the NEXUS devices get the update first. but u got to understand that nexus one and galaxy nexus are not the same. nexus one doesnt have these yakju/takju kinds of builds.thats y i was asking ...

also i know rooting gives you the ability to unleash the full potential of the device(thats hw i am using my n1). ofcourse wid some risk of bricking... but it doesnt mean that ppl who dont want to root shdnt use a nexus device....

fine bro... no offence. let there be peace :). i got the info i needed. and guys continue the good work :thumbup:

Hello bhaiyon!! I'm newbie in modifying android phones and I know nothing about rooting, flashing, adding kernels and putting ROM on new Galaxy Nexus GSM phone.

So, any experience member please help me by providing the links that you think are the best for my phone. There are so many rooting threads which one is easiest and reliable for my phone? I like Paranoid Android ROM but don't know what thing I should do before adding this ROM. I request you guys please support me. I will be very thankful to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
The best tool would be this

and make sure you go through the options it has .

you will need to unlock boot loader and then root it and install CWM (clock work mod) thats it copy any rom zip file to your phone reboot to recovery and install .

I am eagerly wanting to buy the i9250 but the only thing holding me back is the warranty, any which ways after searching on ebay, there are quite a few dealers who are selling the GN i9250 with servepro warranty for h/w.

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

what bugs are u referring to Lower volume? That can be fixed with different roms or a volume+ app!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajstyles69:
ISSUES :

The device has an issue of volume acting strangely. Most often the volume mutes very quickly. Sometimes the volume starts 'jumping' between muted and loud very quickly.

This volume issue happens often during phone calls, using internet or receiving SMS text messages.

Some users are also reporting that when calling, they can hear 'radio interference' sounds.

The device is often unresponsive while the problem happens. Power button not working for the brief time has been reported

DERE IS A THREAD RELATING TO THIS ALSO... ALTHOUGHT THEY HAVE A FIX FOR IT..

STILL ANYONE EXPERICE ANYTHNG SIMILLAR TO IT??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I have been using the phone for quite sometime now, but never faced any of the problems mentioned above, nor I have seen anyone reporting such a problem here in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agentdk:
When Gnex was launched, there was an issue with the volume going up and down. Not all, but some devices had this issue.Later Google released an update to solve this.

Nowadays, I don't think any of the fresh devices has this issue out of the box. None of the Indian users has come across it,i suppose.

hi, i have gone through a lot of thread, weighing in the pros and cons of galaxy nexus, but still not made up my mind.

I have used galaxy S for over one year and am aware of android power. then switched to iphone 4S. Phone got broke, so had to send it back to my cousin in Canada, for repairs as it was under warranty there. Have been using blackberry bold 9780 for over three months now.

But missing pure android experience.

Thinking of getting a galaxy nexus either from US or from a retailer here on ebay. but am vary, of the cons.

After reading a lot of review over screen concerns i am worried if i have any defected one the seller wont take it back. Also inquired from service center, they straight forward said, they wont accept phone as it is not available in India.

So should i order it from US from Google play store or just buy it from Ebay vendor.

As i can return it to my friend in US for repair but, returning it to ebay vendor for repair wont be easy.

Is this phone worth the risk, or just wait for few months if next nexus series launches in India??

Kindly help.

Android is android and every body accept it here lots of india user of nexus including me. Nexus have vast number of development thread and rom so nothing worried about. If you can then order it direct from google play or buy it from direct to your Frnd from U.S some guys said that it can be repair in india i think they talking about bangalore or mumbai there are some shop who repair nexus. You never feel regret after buy Nexus so just go for it really awesome mobile :)

Any thing electronic will break at some point ;) i bough my nexus from germany , i don't have any issue with the screen as others have pointed out .. you would need to use the proper kernel and use trinity mod to set the color. I guess you could wait for the next nexus since it almost round the corner and chances are since there are speculation that this time its gonna be more then one , it might get released in india (cross my fingers) ..

Call me biased but for me my nexus is the best phone i ever had and i had many :D
