The screen of my Galaxy Nexus broke today.

Was sitting in the car with the phone on my lap. On getting out, I searched for the phone in the pocket and couldn't find it. Later I saw it lying outside the car, on the concrete. It fell there when I got out of the car. And I identically even stepped on it (that's the moment when it cracked) before figuring it out lying on the ground.

So when I picked my phone, the screen was cracked. I can receive calls and everything works but the display is off and the screen is cracked.

So I want to know that where in Mumbai can I get it repaired? And how much will be the approximate cost?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
sad to hear that buddy, i always worry about the same while getting in and out of the car as i have dropped my phone earlier but that was motorola milestone and that beauty was really a stone lol nothing happended to it ..

go here for repair - lokhandwala market 1st cross lane, name of the shop is cell spot .. few months ago he said 9k so now i dont know, another option is prime mall irla
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Do you have any contact number?

I need to get it repaired ASAP. No display, no touch and a broken screen. Can't receive calls as well, but can just hear them ringing! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMysteriousOne:
Re: Indian Galaxy Nexus users

Get the contact number from Justdial.

The shop Irla is called 'Mobile Point'.

corrupted IMEI

Guys any update on unknown baseband issue, i owned GNex with corrupted imei. Hence no network now i am using as a expensive ipod:crying:. i have a enough knowledge of flashing stuff like custom roms, kernel .... I tried everything but no luck. could anybody help me on the same. i'll be very thankful... The repair guy says it may be hardware issue (need to change PCB). any comment on that plz.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Well I'm still confused on my Nexus thing. I went to Manish Market in Mumbai today and there is a guy who can replace the screen for me, charging Rs. 9,000. The price is obviously high, little out of my budget too, but the major issue is that I'm worried that if by some mistake he makes some faulty connections, I'll have constant hardware issues with the phone throughout it's lifetime.

Very confused. Also considering an option to sell it for a subsidized price or selling the parts to people who need them.

What do you guys suggest?

I'm probably gonna get it repaired.

What's the situation with you? Is the display and touch working or are they also damaged?

Sounds cool. Will call him tomorrow. Hopes the shop is open (or at least answers the calls) on Sundays. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
If you have a nandroid backup(taken before corrupting the efs) then restoring it will solve the problem. If you don't have any backup of your efs folder, try flashing factory images from google (different versions) flash different radios. Also try imie recovery methods created for other phones, for example

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouR1NJSV9SZXBhaXIiXQ..

And try different Samsung repair centers, someone may take the phone out of pity.

IF nothing works then pay this guy 10 € and let him repair your phone. (I have no personnel experience with this guy and I will not be responsible if things go wrong, I read some people repaired their phones through this guy)

ebay.com.

search as "galaxy nexus neo hybrid"

Or " ultra capsule "

Costs around 2 grand
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mangesh hotkar:
As i said i tried each and every possibility to get back the originel imei, but nothing is worked for me. Samsung repaire guy are not intrested to check my phone because it is not launched in india.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Well since you have tried everything, you should know it can't be repaired without professional tools, so your only option is taking it to a samsung service center. The following people have reported here that they/ther friends were able to repair their phones via samsung. So we know that some samsung service centers do accept this phone (you have to pay for the service). You just have to find one, Samsung has like a lot of different service centers in different parts of india. Since your phone's problem is software only, I think the chances of it being repaired is high.

By the way how did this happened to your phone?

Hey guys, I came across this listing on Ebay India.

It has the 2000Mah Extended battery + a new battery cover to fit the bigger battery, and also comes with the charger/cradle for the battery

and it costs only 1260 Rs. !

Should i get this one from the dealer who has been on ebay since march 2 only

Or a more trusted seller who has the original battery on sale for 750rs ?

follow the link for that here

I am really in need of a spare battery.

what are your thoughts about these 2 listings :)

I think these sellers get their products from some seller of ebay.com and sells it over here at higher prices. I bought a pack of 10 scratch guards for 220 rupees only. And here in B'lore the shops charges me around 150-200 for each of them.

Galaxy nexus battery

Hey guys, been 5 months since i bought my gnex. And I must admit that this is been one heck of a phone. I guess I'll never be able to go back to a phone with a smaller screen :). But it's goes through battery pretty fast as I use the phone constantly to check mails, browse and talk on the phone and also lost he charger that came with it and usb charging sucks. I was looking for a battrey with more juice and found this at ebay: http://www.ebay.in/itm/2x-2300mAh-Battery-Wall-Charger-For-Google-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Prime-I9250-/290845250544?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item43b7ba53f0. What do you guys say, should I get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
Re: Indian Galaxy Nexus users

Seems fair enough. But that's the minimum you should sell for. Try to sell for 17k which is going to be a really great sale for you if you do find a buyer willing to pay ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemant_p:
Re: Indian Galaxy Nexus users

Thanks abhishek for referencing.

I am in the same boat bro. Motherboard damaged :(

My advice would be to sell for parts, but only marketable part is the screen, u will get ~5-6k for it dude.

Re: Indian Galaxy Nexus users

Online buyers. Especially on eBay.

I sold my Nokia 5800 for 7k on eBay recently!

Unbelievable. People on olx were giving me quotations of 2-3k.

You just gotta wait for the poor chap. There's always one!!!!

There are people who don't know that it is available in shops so they would be ready to pay a good amount.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
yea online people are sometimes totally unaware of the value, shops were offering me 6.5/7k for my nexus s, i sold it for 12 to a guy from olx :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Thanks a lot fellas :)

Dont want to quote too high so will try at ebay and olx for 15.5 k (i am sure ppl will negotiate .5k and will round it off to 15 k)

BTW anyone got lucky with NFC tags, i find only few tags online.... If someone found a decent deal online please keep it posted in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vin18:
iam also negotiating with a person from ebay.he's from my area in hyd only.he says final price is 15k and its 5 months old too.he doesnt have earphones(said he lost it somewhere around house.trying to find them) except that he have everything along with box.

do you think its a good deal ? and also what should i check for while testing it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Earphones roughly costs Rs 500, so dont make a big deal for it...

Just have a demo , chk the speed and touch sensitivity

First thing that i always chk in a phone is for any dents/scratches

Observe the screen closely for any scratches as ours dont have gorilla glass it may have scratches

Try playing temple run(1 or 2) once - (first thing i do when i see a new mobile in market is play an avg graphic game and see the touch responses)

Make a call and check the clarity once (as if there has been incidents with water u may get distorted voice reception)

Best wishes for a good purchase
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbiceps:
Re: Indian Galaxy Nexus users

Hey be aware that eBay charges hefty commission. They will literally lo0t you!

They have all kinds of fees and taxes for the fees too! Be ready to shell out around 8-9% of 15000 to eBay. You'll get around 13.5k if you list for 15.

So better list it at 16.5 or 17. That'll do.

(+ courier & packing charges to be kept in mind)

Nice to hear that it eventually worked on your phone. :) I did call them up ...The problem is that they don't know what GOOGLE NEXUS or LG NEXUS is .

Hey call them up and ask for manual input. It's the same for all phones...

In the end, for all phones they make you reach one particular area of settings- APNs (under mobile networks)....

So not necessary to specify the name of phone. Just tell em you are under APN section and ask them for details.
