To everyone worrying about service, in case your phone goes bad (likelihood of that happening is pretty low) you will be able to get it fixed locally. Of course, you will have to pay for it, but the phone is serviceable in India.

Thanks guys. 24 k new one. Is this worth ..

Its embarrassing to know Samsung still hasn't released this phone even-though its April. I wanted to get this one but didn't want to get it from Ebay or grey market due to warranty issues.

Can anyone tell me whether I will have to pay any tax or anything? I moved here(bangalore) recently and its my first time importing after moving.

Will fedex bring the phone to my door step or I will have to go to their office to collect it?

Hi Guys,

I am also thinking of joining the same group, as I have just fallen in love with this beauty of a phone. Currently looking for options that seem most secure as it can't be bought off a nearby store in India (I wanted to annihilate Samsung for that :mad:).

Dude I know these guys are power sellers and all, but is it really safe to get it shipped from them? And how much time do you think they take to get it shipped?

---------- Post added 16th April 2012 at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th April 2012 at 11:43 PM ----------

As I haven't ordered my phone yet, I was hoping to get some advice from you guys. Which seems to be the more good to look at color for the Nexus, Black or White? I was thinking of going for white, but I was also thinking that it might catch dirt faster? I know this seems like a lame question but can anyone who has used both help me out? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dh33r4j:
It is generally safe. All I'm unsure is about Indian customs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
I have purchased from ebay Indian seller and it came to my hand in two days with fully sealed condition.

It from German
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Custom duty on phones is 2.3% of "Customs"-assessed value of the phone. Pretty sure you will have to pay that. If you haven't ordered it yet, I would suggest buying from an Indian seller and not get into customs and all those head-aches unless the seller is taking the responsibility for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Lucky you man! No such luck here in Delhi :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Yes,

+ 1 for Maniacstore. A friend ordered Arc S and got it delivered in a day. Coincidentally arzbhatia ordered the same phone :) Arc S is a real good deal for 17.5k.

Still having doubts whether to buy a galaxy nexus or not? Android central picks Galaxy nexus as the best phone you can buy as of july 2012, over Galaxy S3 and One X

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
It's kinda tough to believe a Samsung official showroom was selling this device but they failed to launch this device in India.

I have no problems paying 30k as long as service is provided in case anything goes bad(which may not happen but still to be on safer side as I don't want to end up paying more for a paid repair )

I think I'll stick to my S2 and I'm pretty happy with it :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rak_ark:
I asked him the same question...he responded saying Samsung probably wont launch it India as their top phone sales might take a hit...he said there were a lot of people asking for this phone...so he decided to import a few pieces himself... he is a franchise owner..not exactly a Samsung official :)....I hate Samsung India and their policies :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
better buy it from eBay.com they have the best deal...... contact the dealer you buy from and ask him where will he import the phone from??

Better buy a US imported phone cause it has yakju/takju.......

If you specifically want yakju build ......... buy it from www.expansys-usa.com.....but you'll have to pay few extra $$ for import duty.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
I dont think yakju/takju matters as long as its a maguro phone. You can always flash any builds and relock the bootloader for warranty purposes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
If you want to buy in Pune locally I know a few shops. There are a few shops in Deccan that sell nexus without bill.

HELPPP!

i bought my phone without warranty from a local seller in pune a week back

..

my wifi reception is too bad,i have to sit in the same room as the router..

my phone is running 4.0.2

do u think it is a software bug or a hardware.?

if it is hardware,is there anyway i can pay and repair it from samsung service center or i can claim my warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
It just a build name. For checking there a application called galaxy nexus update checker. Or u can check your build Details with root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
Seriously 4.0.2? I don't see a reason why are using outdated buggy android release.

Flash 4.0.4 or latest 4.1.1 Jellybean. Search on XDA on how to do it..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
Yes they are same......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I have never heard of nexus having wifi issues in any version. But it's always better to update the phone to latest version available. You should know that a phone's wifi is not as strong as a laptop's wifi so where a laptop gets full bars a phone may get only 2-3 bars.

And yes GSM nexus and the HSPA nexus are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] datroublemaker:
Thanks but the wifi works better with all my other phones..my itouch and my ipad too

with GN i just have to be in the same room as the router..

ill update and let u know if i`m facing the same issue..

Wifi signals are definitely slightly weaker than what I have seen in other phones (iPhone 3GS, Galaxy SII). However, you got to live with it. Upgrade to 4.0.4 or 4.1 and see if that makes any difference (don't expect much though).

How did you managed to upgrade? Is it by OTA (clearing cache) or

Is it by following the instructions provided by efrant?

If so did you remove the "recovery" folder before flashing or not ?

Please tell us.

Oh come on guys. Using a Galaxy Nexus yet looking for OTA updates? Get a rooted CWM zip and flash! :P

On a serious note, nice to see so many people rocking a Galaxy Nexus even though stupid Samsung didn't release it cos they wanted to sell the SGS3. Got GNex from a local shop for 25K in Pune (from Sagar Arcade on FC Road if anyone is interested), never going to get a non-Nexus again :D

Upgraded to Jelly Bean. Since I am not sure wheather we get OTA update or not, so I installed using CWM.

Wipe the data, and force close the google services framework, just connect to a fast wifi network and leave it,

don't manually check for updates, after wiping it just quit the settings and leave it.

Hello everyone.I am planning on getting unlocked GN from US. Will samsung provide servicing in india???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5inGularity:
Need initiation

Hello guys,

---n00b alert---

Bought my first android Google Nexus last week from ebay.in. I wanted to upgrade to Jelly Bean and reached xda forums and am completely lost. I tried to figure out if it is yakju/toro/etc, but that app (GN Official update checker) is not available any more. Can somebody please point me to n00b resources?

Following is the information about my phone that I think is relevant, but I've no clue what these mean. Any help understanding these would be appreciated.

Android version: 4.0.0

Baseband version: I9250XXLA2

Kernel: 3.0.8-gda6242b

Build number: IMM76K-I9250XWLD2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Toro is the CDMA variant found in the US on carriers like Sprint/Verizon. The one available in India is GSM hence "maguro", so always download/use stuff for "maguro".

Oh, and it's also "yakju". As for how to update, I always root and manually update through custom ROMs, but people here use this trick:

EDIT: It seems the rollout for the yakju models has started as well, so the below procedure isn't needed.

1. Open Settings → Apps → Swipe to the All tab, scroll down to and click on Google Services Framework, then click on Clear Data.

2. Then head to Settings → About → System updates, then click on Check Now to see if it gives you the option to update.

You might have to click quite a few times before you get a notification. Also try rebooting the device after clearing Google Services Framework data, and then check again.

Keep in mind that the update is only out for the US GSM variant (which is takju but same as yakju except it comes with Google Waller pre-installed for US customers), so there's not a 100% guarantee the above trick will let you update.

(anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rak_ark:
Go to maps>settings>about.....check under device.....if it is a yakju or takju, u will get updates from Google directly.

If it is yakjuxw or something like that, u will have to wait for Samsung to update it.....the solution is to flash a stock yakju build....some guys here have done it....n there are very good guides here on xda telling you how to do it...

Any more questions, u can always ask here..:)..the android lingo can be quite confusing if u r new...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rak_ark:
U r right...but if his build is something other than yakju...then he will need to flash yakju first...I haven't done it...mine was yakju...it would be better for him if u guide him how to flash stick yakju..if it isn't already that:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I think its pretty much proven now that you don't need clear Google services frame work data, i got my update normally without doing it, ..

Works well enough. Weather information comes up right, it understands me (though more when I speak in an unclear US accent rather than a clearer Indian accent :P).

Jelly bean's on my Nexus

Hi all Google Nexus fellas from India...

Bought this Nexus device last week from a online seller .

Running stock 'yakju' ...was running 4.0.1 upadted to 4.0.4 as soon i logged in to it.

Was waiting for Jellybean ever since tried all that 'google framework" thing and all.Didnt work.

Then last night i left the wifi on and slept.

Saw the "update available" notification first thing today morning.

It was already downloaded and just asked my permission to install it.Awesome feeling.Isnt it !

And "Jelly bean" is awesome . The one 'big' thing for me personally is Jellybean gets "Tamil" font rendering spot on.

Massive win that - for me atleast.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
I flashed to yakju with 4.0.4........ after that did the framework trick........received the ota after my 3rd try..........

Just flash to yakju dont wait..........its really easy......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ravishah922:
Thank u so much.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rooshi:
I'm a total noob to flashing ROMs etc. and the Wugfresh root kit made my day yesterday... I had a yakjuxw build on IMM76K and just couldn't wait to get Jellybean. so I used the root kit to flash yakju (4.0.4). Then I had to 1) force stop the Google Services Framework, 2) clear data, and 3) check for updates all of 2 times before I got the JRO03C OTA

This is in Hyderabad, and I checked for updates/ downloaded over wifi yesterday (Jul 14).

The only ill effect seems to be I can't get notifications for GMail, G+ or FB... looking for a solution to the issue now, although I think a reboot or two might fix it. :good:
