me also just got my new white nexus :D

Screen is awsm bt body ahhhh cheap plastic :(. Even my optimus ones quality was awsm. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Will wait for 2-3 months before deciding to get it :D

But Highlights for me are

Quadcore S4

and IPS+ display and Gorilla glass

I just hope LG doesnt screw us like Sammy did :D

Also hope the price is as cheap as in playstore

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Get a thin case and you will never worry about the plastic look Waise bhi ... of all Sammy devices released till Gnex i beleive this looks much better :)

I have two belkin cases... After all i have it for safety not for looks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
it cant be as cheap as the play store, it will easily be 25000 .. so the gnex is still a good option .. and remember when gnex came in india it was for 25k so expect the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Actually, GNex was initially quite costly and only later went down to $350, following which everywhere its price came down to around the same amount. However, the Nexus 4 is $350 from the beginning, so the price will probably only go up to $400 when it comes to India. Google wants Nexus devices to be affordable, so if LG does launch it here officially, the price won't be that much higher.

Although even at 25K, the Nexus 4 will be a great device, so bring it on I say :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
Gnex was imported and the pricing was random done by merchants with a lot of profit. So I think the 4 may have its original tag when it comes to India officially. Right?

Baseband for India

Hi Devs and Fellow members,

My radio on stock 4.1.2, doesnt give very strong 3G signals in Mumbai. My baseband version is XXLF1 (the european version i guess).

Any other baseband should i try in India and where to find it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rakesh

lg sells its single core phones for 17k, dual im not sure how much maybe would have to look it up on flipkart .. so i dont see them selling a quad core at the price of their dual cores .. it would kill their own market ..

this is the reason samsung dint officially launch gnex in india, who would buy and s2 for 28k and s3 for 34k if you get a mix of these 2 for roughly 18k is you convert the currency directly of the play store value

if i was the owner of lg i would go the samsung way, its just bussiness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
But why would they sell it for so cheap in the us? I would never understand that. I paid 25k for my gnex in Bangalore around 3 months back :( feel cheated.

Nexus⁴ s Hardware better than that of s3, price wise half of the same.!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
GNexus price was dropped after the Google I/O event (almost 5 months after the launch). It was selling for more than $349 before that. At launch GSM nexus was very costly too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
taxes are so high here, see apple products also which come officially .. ip5 is for 45, i means wtf .. look at laptops and tv n any electronic stuff .. i remember i bought a toshiba laptop from the states, it was 15000 less than the cost in india ..

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

even if you consider $399 that is 21500 INR .. in that price range you are getting motorola and sony dual core phones with ics .. so lg selling a quad core for that price i doubt .. it would kill the market ..

you got s3 selling at 33k so another android quad core for 25 damn, samsung will shut down lol

lg optimus 4x which is a quad core is selling for 28k currently so assume the price to be around this much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
At launch unlocked gnex was priced around $700 and not $399. LG is never gonna launch it at 20k that's for sure. It will be around 25k.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
INR price of galaxy Note 10.1 tablet is ridiculous compared to US price and Samsung has more demand and market share in India, so I doubt LG would price it more.

It would be 3-5k more compared to its US price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
That's what I said, price would be around 25k.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
But really, even a 25K price is great for the N4, so I wouldn't mind. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kunalwanvari:
U know wt .. u guys dont need to mention nexus4 here .. if ull want it make a nexys4 forum and comment there :/ .. this is for galaxy nexus guys !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Well, once the Nexus 4 gets launched, we'll make a separate forum for it. I don't see anything wrong with discussing about the GNex's successor here in this thread. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverickgenius:
Anybody help me in this regard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedreamer09:
Dude I don't understand how your conversions came to 18k. The price before the 50$ drop was around 399$ and now it is 349$ from June 2012. And more over the price mentioned in the play store is the price without taxes. So the final price comes around 30 to 40 $ more than price. considering that the $ value is more than Rs 54 as of today, you wouldn't be getting a piece for this price.

Ha ha.. Bangalore is a costly city, So you would be paying everything more than its worth :p. The actual price would have come in between 22 to 23k for your seller, if he had bought it from US. No worries, its the best phone around and you still got it less than S2.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
rupee value dropped right very recently so i just reduced a few thousand, not exactly accurate but approx .. a year back dollar was not so high

but in the end whatever it is im not gonna buy it .. barely been a month with this phone .. so i guess ill wait for nexus 5 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Nexus 4 going to be rock with solid developer support on xda for sure ! After all its google child :)

Guys, great news. Gameloft bringing better graphics in their games specially for the N4 (and N7/N10), thanks to the N4 using the S4 Pro processor :D

http://blog.gameloft.com/index.php/2012/10/30/google-nexus-games/

So much for devices like the Galaxy S3 or One X, which failed to make developers bring iOS-level graphics to Android thanks to the hardware fragmentation. Great move by Google to put latest hardware in the Nexus 4, now hopefully more devs will do the same, and some iOS game developers staying away from Android will come too (including Epic Games with Infinity Blade) :D

Want something smooth and stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
1.8 ? 2.51 is the latest .. 2.51 with latest trinity is your best bet for performance and battery life .. codename n rasbeanjelly are also at par

ykjuxw blues!

Hey folks, I know this has been asked a million times but I'm a little worried about this, so thought I'd ask again.

My current scenerio

• I'm running 4.1.1 yakjuxw​

• Want OTA updates faster​

What's the best way to shift to yakju:

• Found this guide by efrant​

• Is there a simpler way on to do this on a Apple Mac?​

• Been reading strange posts that suggest that I can simply re-write the word "yakjuxw" to yakju... is this even possible?!​

• Also read a post on incremental upgrades that don't wipe out data here​

The process (If I've understood this correctly, I need to)

• Install SDK and ADB + Fastbook on my mac​

• Run fastboot oem unlock​

• Download Yakju image from Google​

• Flash Bootloader​

• Flash radio​

• Flash system.img​

• Flash userdata​

• Flash boot.img​

• Flash recovery partition​

• Then cross my fingers and pray it worked!​

Any Apple Mac specific inputs

• Read that environmental variables need to be setup in the SDK. How do I do this?​

• Have downloaded ADB and Fastboot-mac already​

Backup

• What's the best way to back up data? Besides just copying /sdcard to a computer​

• Is there anyway to backup Apps and App data?​

And

• Is there anything else I need to know before I go ahead and do this?​

• Any sage words of wisdom? or Yoda-like advice?​

Just noticed the black spots on my new galaxy nexus screen while using it in low light with black background. :(

But after reading few threads it is now clear to me that it is just a sAMOLED manufacturing process's byproduct. :sly:

But now my question is that does these black spots will get worse over time or not ?? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
It will remain same, I also have that ink mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
The same thing happened to me I also having some black spot but those noticed in low brightness ! Tried trinity kernel and other trick but it is not perfect on those black spot or black line :banghead: so its sAMOLED manufactured defect or what and which screen better than sAMOLED ?

Guys guys guys need a help from you all I am thinking to buy galaxy S3 or replace my nexus so should I have to go bczo I am really afraid about if my nexus get any problem like screen or other part fault then who will be gonna repair it ? S3 is officially in India so every single part is here as well as accessories an all now guys suggest me what I have to do !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
You just have to sell your nexus and buy S3. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I know bro first I have to sale my nexus and after that I can buy S3 but I need suggest that should I go with S3 ? As you all know nexus only having vast developer support as compare to other phone but soon Samsung gonna to released exynos source code !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Regardless of sammy releasing the source code .. nexus will always run andriod better then any other phones. You can get as many ports as you would want on other phones but the none that run as smooth as they do on a nexus.

My suggestion wait for the Nexus 4 or have some one get it for you from abroad, you will get upgraded but be still in the nexus eco system :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
S3 is a very good phone if you like the looks. I will be buying Nexus 4. How much would a 4 month old galaxy nexus sell for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
How much you paid for nexus ? The main reason why I am not gonna to buy nexus again bcoz of SD card slot !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
I bought it from play store for $390. Total cost was around 22k. It still has 8 month valid US warranty.

I don't play games so 16GB is good enough for me.

you would get a better price on olx n quickr than retail shops .. you should get 15 for it .. i sold my nexus s for 12 online and the shops were offering me 7.5-10 for it

Guys is it okay to use my nexus without screen guard ??

Is the glass used in nexus is tough as the gorilla glass ??

If yes then i don't think i'll need a screen guard :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
I think it's still better to put up a screen guard as even Gorilla glasses can be scratched. Specially when it comes in contact with sand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriousia:
Sorry for flooding this thread with questions. :D

Its related to CPU temperature,

It was @ 60 degree While playing wind-up king. Is it normal ?

Can anyone Help Me out with a shop which Sells Nexus S in Mumbai With the Warranty ?I guess some places in CST and South mumbai have it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
try online or irla .. in irla there are atleast 5 shops, so if its available they would have it .. by the way the production has stopped so you might not get a new one now.

Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..

And i'm tired using poor Samsung UI.. And really very disappointed by Samsung not giving support to their device & forgot it after selling it, while the 800 Mhz sony phone get stock ICS...

So planed to move-on & YES to my dream device NEXUS 3...

i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..

So guys plz help me around buying the NEXUS 3 from Ebay.in

My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".

So pls do help me buying a correct device from ebay.in..

Many says that it was mentioned that its Un-locked for International GSM but was not unlocked..or get error like my cousin got..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
use the search button in this thread there are some users who have posted genuine ebay sellers names, or you could read the first few pages maybe you will find it there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarat_mit:
And can u pls tell me y the " Sim Network Un-lock Pin " error that comes......

is it comes coz the device is really not an Un-locked For GSM International...?

Looks good. How about the back cover,does it goes well with the hyperskin back cpver?

It's good but if you don't know how to apply then it's not good. previously I bought this for nexus s and I couldn't apply properly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
If u are a Geek, forget s2, go 4 Nexus

I own the Nexus for 3 days now, and I must say, it's awesome....far more better than s2.....so, from my point of view, it's an upgrade from s2, if you are thinking to replace it with Nexus....!!!

Fortunately, I got a brand new nexus with sealed box for 24.5k from a local store in Ahmedabad....so it's a good deal, i guess..!!!:)

For Game/Application Data: Titanium Backup Free
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
If u follow the instructions its very good.

Back fits very well but dont like the feel so i removed it and only use the front bit because honestly the hyperskin feels awesome in hands.

PS: for people who want to apply it properly remember all it takes is patience and lotta soap water :P

i find this easier than dry skins to apply because its wet u can just add lil more water if ur screw up and move it around . also remember dont try hard and push all the bubbles out just apply it push as many as u can with ur fingers without moving the guard and leave it let it settle

THE BIGGEST advice i can give u would be once its been applied mainly on the screen make sure u leave because even after about 24 to 48 hours u might see one or 3 big air bubbles dont worry about them trust me and just leave it in 3 days time max they will disappear as u use device because pushing them out only makes the screen guard look like its got strechmarks on those spots and its not worth.

Applied it till now twice on my phone ( first time stretch marks :P )

2nd one's good , applied it for friends SGS 2, desire HD , mini pro and 2 more nexus's not a single one of them have complaints and hands down the best and most affordable screen guard in market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Thanks a lot. :)

How do i make the soap solution :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
and Galaxy Note will be waiting for the update when 'Jelly Bean' will come out. Note is a real good piece of hardware but I think the size is an issue here. Nexus can be used with one hand,whereas Note can't be used with one hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
lol its safe u dont need to immerse ur phone in water or anything ,

Just take small mug with like little water put 2 or 3 drops of dishwasher and mix it , all u need to do it wet ur fingers completely and then keep wetting them u dont need put drops on screen and all .

i did it like this , take out battrey .

1- wet all fingers in soap water

2- immerse the screen guard completely in water and then put the side which sticks to screen place it properly

3- once placed leave it for a few min's maybe 3 or 4 so that it sits properly and then push all the bubbles away with finger dont do it hardly just with ur fingers pushing exessive bubbles and water away and cleaning it with a cloth .

once thats done u can wipe the phone properly leave it for 15 20 mins put battrey back and start the phone and use it normally the hot screen and phone helps it dry quicker .

if ur doing it the first time i suggest just putting the screen guard first and once thats fully cured put the back panels and then side stuff.

but 400 bucks for screen guard alone is worth it imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:

But i found another seller selling with servepro warranty

www.ebay.in/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Goog...91756?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item27c60d676c

And don't forget to clear your doubts before buying the item.

So first call the seller and ask him if the device is factory unlocked or not ? Will it work with all gsm sim cards etc etc etc .

:p

;)

All d best :D

And one more thing brother don't forget to use coupon at the time of buying the item.

For buying items you have to create your ebay account. On that email id ebay mails you various mails including these discount coupons like 5%,7.5%,10% etc

How much battery life do you guys get off your Nexus and how please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
After launch of Nexus 4, the Samsung galaxy nexus is obsolete and it's no point in buying a new one since price difference is marginal compared to LG nexus 4. Also I don't see any advantages in getting the galaxy nexus considering the issues (screen, poor camera etc) it has. I know many will defend their purchase saying they don't have any screen problems and camera is mediocre and not poor but it's my opinion and don't care what others feel.

People who want to buy this phone and can be a little patient for 1-2 months and get nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriousia:
Well i have to say that the battery life is pathetic. :D

The huge Screen eats up 75% of battery in my case, using at lowest brightness :D :D

Talk time(2G) is good and if you don't use your phone with the screen on then it will surely give you a decent battery life :) :)
