dont use auto brightness

underclock to 1063 instead of 1190

you could use juice defender to turn on your data every 30 mins ( i dont use it )

use red n black themes and wallpapers ( these colors save most battery )

use less widgets

keep sync off if your not using, or again via juice defender keep the syncing on like every hour or 2 hours

this should be enough i guess cant think of more :p

hey guys anybody here using 2000mah extended battery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adil_:
So, anyone having hardware issues with nexus? I'm buying this phone from eBay and as you know about no warranty, I'm a bit hesistant. So I decided to ask you guys...

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
none have been reported here, even the shopkeeper who i bought from said that since past 3 months he is selling it and no one has come back complaining about this phone even though people have come for other phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goti(0):
just register it on the manufacturer site & you will automatically get to know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Are there any Bangalore based sellers offering gnex that I can go in person and pickup instead of going through eBay.

@hackworks

The next LG Nexus is coming to India by end of November. Buy that instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edrill:
National Market in Gandhinagar has a few shops selling it. Got mine for 21k almost a month ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It might be a good idea to buy a phone released for Indian market from service and compatible radio baseband perspective. However, a phone from lg with a non removable battery is a cause for worry.

Thank you, will see if I get the confidence to pick something from there - hope they are new and genuine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crabguy:
Just bought mine on the 1st of October in Bangalore from

shopyourgadgets[dot]com

Nice guys, spoke to them on the phone. They delivered it the next day and let me pay with the Cash on Delivery option!

Also told me to use it for 15 days, any problems (hardware/software) and they would replace it for me.

The box was sealed, got a bill from them (not that it matters, no free service in India anyway) and the phone has been purring along for a month now, no issues!

This is by far THE BEST smartphone I have ever owned!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
How much did u pay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cooldud2281:
unthinkable happenend

The unthinkable happened!!!! Dropped my GNex on the floor and the LCD cracked and now the screen is not working :'( . Anybody with similar experience in India, how to get it repaired?? how much would it cost. Owned it just over a month :'(

Help guys.. it was my treasured possession....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
I have 2 words for you - FORGET IT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I feel sorry for you. This has been my fear in purchasing a phone not released in India.

Since you say the screen does not work, it could be the glass and digitizer. Once someone can help determine the damage, see if those parts are available on eBay and if you can fix it yourself. If someone is traveling to US...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Just approach grey market areas. Try any Mobile repair shop to find out what is not working. Then find the component cost details in Ebay and if you are confident enuf Buy it and use ifixit guide else try ur best bargain for fixing in the local shops..

Dont worry things can be fixed (officially/unofficially)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
The cost is not feasible for a repair and it doesn't guarantee if any problems arise in future after repair

Screen Protector..

Guys...Suggest me a good screen protector..I don't like matte finished guards as they ruin the quality of the screen..which one are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverickgenius:
Indian GNex users,

I need a good SOFT case for my GNex. Please do NOT suggest a hard case as it ruins the outside of the phone.

Also in need of a good scratch guard. Suggest something of good quality (I have had ones that stuck to the screen on trying to remove).

eBay link to the item would be awesome.

Thanks and have a great day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gamblinggamer:
Hi, I am planning to buy gnex very soon. Do any of u guys have the screen problems mentioned in the Q&A sticky thread. If I got a faulty piece can I change it here in India. thanks.

Hey heard that Samsung will take it for repair. But cost you a pretty penny.

Spoke to a Samsung service guy, he said he'd need to order the part from abroad, but they could fix something like a broken screen.

But you will have to pay. Pay for shipping the part, pay the repair charges, pay pay pay

Yeah.....

Guys which custom recovery you are using ? What about CWM Touch recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kunalwanvari:


I prefer cwm custom recovery .. the bakup file is in 1 folder and easy tondelete when not needed .. n its non touch .. notha thing i prefer ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Looking at all the broken screen posts on both gnex and sgs3, I begin to believe that large screens are not yet tough enough for everyday use. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant by making glass hard. Hard makes it more brittle and hence can shatter easily. We need flexible glass or Fibre. Not sure how touch sensitivity can be brought in them. Wish Google keeps a 4in display for folks like me.

Damn... I've been checking everyday... still haven't got it.... I wonder if, which country you bought the phone from matters, with the timing!?

Incidentally where did you get yours from?

You need to check ur build no weather it is yakju or something else you can check through android system info app just search on play store !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Most of them will not be good enough. Among the one's that are available in India probably you can got for the Gadgetshieldz. They are much better than the others. You'll find them on ebay.

I got it from ebay only. Mine was a yakjuxw build and I flashed yajku. The 'yakju' and 'takju' are directly supported by Google. Rest all others are supported by Samsung only. Hence,there will be a delay in getting OTA on the builds that are not supported by Google directly. Whatever OTA comes,it will hit yakju and takju first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverickgenius:
Thanks mate. Which one do you use?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I don't think there are local shops or local online stores which sells galaxy nexus parts, how ever you can buy from ebay.com

check out this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...243?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1a645f3b

price is US $17.99 + $3 for shipping. It's a reasonable price.

Also, I found this website which sells it for a cheaper price

http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-charging-port-flex-cable/

Price: $6.99

Shipping: Singapore Post ( Registered, ETA 10-25 days ) $4.53 or

DHL $45.33

However I don't know how legit the website is since I have never purchased anything from there

@poxitee, Thank you very much for your information. I will check them out and if found satisfactory, I will buy it also.

Thank you once again..

Not that tough. Moreover while installing you can always move it until you are satisfied with the fit.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I have ordered for a case so cant go with this option for now , the only problem is i hate my screen protector --- with fingerprints all over. One member here suggested me to go with this. So plannin to use this for screen protector portion alone.

On a side note: 24 hrs without switching on the phone is a pain have to manage with my SGS ;)

what do say do you find anything irresistible in nexus 4 to not buy galaxy nexus?

Nexus 4 has a very good display and good hardware than galaxy nexus with cheap price.

Nowadays amoled screen become second class display. I personally don't like amoled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Quad core S4 processor and 2GB Ram, == future proof and even the new IPS screen can be (arguably) said is better than the Galaxy nexus AMOLED screen (the real comparison is yet to come).

The US price is revealed to be same as Galaxy nexus price ($349 for 16GB version) but we don't know how much it will cost here, Most probably it will be higher than that.'

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
I for one will be rushing to buy it once its out (end of November in India). Its performance will be much better because at the end of the day, the Galaxy Nexus just isn't smooth and fast all of the time due to its weak hardware. But my main want is that 2GB of RAM, as Android's multitasking is quite crap and cause apps and games to get closed too fast with just 1GB of RAM on the GNex (its arguably better on the Galaxy S3 though), so more RAM is something I want :silly:

But yeah, the Galaxy Nexus is still a great device.

As long as the blacks are comparable to the SAMOLED on the Nexus 4, which I'm sure they are not. But yeah, gonna get the Nexus 4 anyway for the hardware upgrade.
