Recieved Jelly Bean (yakju) today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5inGularity:
Thanks :)

Thanks :). It says yakjuxw.

So does that mean that my device being a yakjuxw will get updates soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
Guys is it safe to restore titanium backups across different phones? Can I restore my user apps and their data from S2 to nexus without breaking anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Um, no, will have to be on a yakju firmware. yakjuxw devices are updated by Samsung, so will probably take time to get JB. Only takju and yakju devices are getting the updates right now. You can use the Wugfresh Toolkit to flash to a yakju image and then get the update to JB.

Yes, completely safe, just don't restore any system app data or settings. Only restore user apps and their data. I have transferred my apps across my Galaxy S to the Xperia neo V to the Galaxy Nexus. Not a problem :)

I Got Gnex now , within one hour i have changed from yakjuxw to takju .. :D:D:D

volume plus is not yet compatible with JB, but the developer is working on it.

Low volume is not a problem in JB, the Gnexus itself has a pretty low volume(not a problem for me)

Anyone got google earth installed on their GNexus? Play store is showing incompatible for mine, because its not available in India?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
Google earth and some Google app cannot be installed in JB. Google has strengthened the Play store restrictions for some reason so we cant install even side load restricted apps. It will appear in the launcher but disappears after a reboot. Its a bummer, Its sad that I can install Google earth on my PC, iphone and ipod but not my Gnex.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
Goto iFixit.com and search for Galaxy nexus teardown. I am not sure but I think you need to chance the whole display unit to change the digitizer because the amoled display is fused with the digitizer. I am not sure better check it out before buying anything

Since nexus isnt officially available in India, what would you say is the best way to get at the lowest price? I am in new delhi and was wondering what is a fair price for a new sealed nexus phone.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
I'm in Pune, and I got it locally from a shop for 25K, but that's without bill or warranty. Ebay sellers give a seller warranty but also take upwards of 26K. I was fine with no bill or warranty, so I went ahead and got it from a local shop. 25K is actually a great price for the best device I ever bought. Just gotta be careful so that I don't need a warranty any time soon, seeing as how local shops will be unable to repair it :P

Guess you'll be able to get it even cheaper in Delhi locally as the prices there are the lowest of all cities as far as I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
I got sealed pack at 18000Rs.. actually the seller is from Europe.. he doesn't need the GALAXY NEXUS.. so I bought it from him at lowest price saying that India as no warranty repair.. so he made it low price.. he he I'm happy :)

Oh also: If i get the phone from the US, no warranty in India but if i send it to the US it will be covered under warranty right? Just trying to clear up things.

You can try out Alfa at Vile Parle (25k) , Heera Panna Shop no 12 at Haji Ali for 24k , or United telecom at Nepeansea road for 24k.

All have stock in white or grey. I had to re purchase a Galaxy Nexus as mine got flicked whilst I was in the train. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
guys i got a deal to buy nexus at 24 k but i am little bit skeptical nexus with jelly beans as he told me and nexus from us but he will not give me bill. and he told me to deposit half amount before shiping in his account and when he will give me tracking number of courier then i have to deposit rest amount. i already got collected his every detail like mobile from he from and i added to my facebook account so guys give me suggestion that what should i do ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
Let him chat to you with video chat... That's a better track... even ask him to show the Galaxy nexus with all its accessories. . Even tell him to give imei no.. before you deposit.. so that you can get him tracked soon if he don't send you the Gnex

how i will track through IMEI No ? or you talking about courier tracking number ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rojamama:
Galaxy Nexus in India

Hi Guys/Girls,

I bought Galaxy Nexus from Singapore in May 2012.

Very nice phone... I love it..

Recently got Jelly Bean update....

Worth for the price (it cost around 25k).

Probably it would be less now, Google reduced USD 50 last month. (now USD 349).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
No no.. I'm talking about imei no ... if he ask money before he send the courier track no... you jus try to get the imei no through the video call... u sud record the video conference call .. so after u deposit him half of the money in advance.. Thereafter if he act as he don't send the track no ... you can get him to the police.. so I said... Even I had to make this type of deal.. some agrees but some don't agree. If they don't agree then don't go for this deal...

Okay... may be someone will give better idea than this... I tried this type of deal on success... if he doesn't give the track courier no .. u can get the money back.. n if he don't pay then don't worry.. u have the video as a prove to show him that u have recorded d video chat call... so he might get into the trusting deal...

Don't trust everyone.. some may even try to fool.. so don't fall on it..

Hope this is nice idea...

SeNt frOm gOOglE NeXuS with CM10 jelly taste
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
I will suggest not to go with this deal at all. Save up a few extra bucks then get it either locally or from Ebay (from an Indian seller, there are many with great reputation). Better to spend 2000/- more than rue losing 12K later. Try checking out the local shops in your area, one of the shops might have it (though I guess you already tried that?).

In the end, don't rush through it. Be careful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
bro he told me that i have to deposit 10,000 before shiping and then he will give me tracking number in evening or 2moro. and what will be benefit to get IMEI NO from him ? can i check IMEI NO online ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Seriously, don't get it. While it's possible the seller is also trying to be safe and ensure you pay all the money before he lets go of the device, it's too much of a risk to go ahead with this deal. Like I suggested, find a local shop or get it from Ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Bro actually he is a ebay seller and i were bid on his mobile which is 25,500 INR then he call me to confirm that will i buy it or not then i told me him that is there any discount on it then he said that i have to pay some fee to ebay to sale the product so buy directly from me then you will get it at 24,000. bro there is no shop who have nexus i am not living in metro city so not able to find such find of shop who have gray market mobile or imported mobile ! now what should i do let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Pay the Ebay fee, don't make a direct deal. It will ensure that you get your product and if not, you don't need to pay the money. But again, it's up to you. I wouldn't do a direct deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
bro when i talk to him on phone then he said he bought it from US. and i knew that there is no value of nexus bill in india but i just want to make sure that it is not a stolen phone so he told me that he not able to give me bill bcoz bill left to his uncle which is live in US so should i buy it or not ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
All the ones from Play Store are takju build,I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
My short and sweet answer: No. Spend 25K or even 26K to get it from a proper seller from Ebay, there are many with good ratings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yessae:
Hi fellas,

I am in absolute deep **** with my Nexus now. Got mine off Amazon this April. i9250 model (with Intl warranty) and used it for few weeks before it's screen broke in a fall. Phone was still working though, so then I went about looking for a screen replacement in India. Did not find anything in Chennai and then sent it to Singapore with my friend.

Now, I am being told that along with my screen, my mother board has also been damaged. So I was told that I'd need around 300 USD to get my screen n mother board fixed. Feeling absolutely horrible now as I got the phone for 450 $ and a silly mistake is costing me more than half the price of the phone. I still dunno how my motherboard got damaged because I remember the phone functioning well even after the screen broke. That is, I could hear calls and message alerts. I could switch it on and off but just didn't see the screen. But does months of dormancy lead to mother board damage as well?

and I have not paid that 300 $ yet. Holding out for a better deal somewhere somehow. Reading every forum out there. Is there any place in India where I could get help? The 3rd party seller from amazon says he cannot help for breakage. So I am back to square one now.

Any suggestions? Apart from the obvious condolences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
See one guy have warned.. he is right get the phone from junglee.com or eBay... u can trust it... bdw.. yes before deposit go for video conference...

Record his video .. tell him to show the box and the handset.. even tell him to show the imei no ..

I once bought a GPU from someone on Ebay, and after I received it, the guy asked me to do some specific thing so that he wouldn't have to pay the Ebay fee. Was quite a few years ago so not sure what I did. But that kind of thing you can trust, but when the dealer is asking to make a direct deal beforehand, there's probably something awry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam razzy:
I doesn't know much about eBay.. bcoz till today I dint make any deal on eBay.. I bought fone directly from olx .. full sealed pack for 18000.. I made direct contact.. I met him in Bangalore.. he was in urgent .. he doesn't know the price of phone exactly... ;)

Hi Please don't Buy from such persons online.

Otherwise you will be fooled and cheated..

My only option now looks like selling the phone for some cheap price as I can't see any point in paying 300 dollars to fix screen and motherboard. I paid only 450$ for it! Anybody got any suggestions or ideas before I make this dreaded decision?

Thinking about selling it to some spare parts guy for some small amount in Singapore itself. Horrible feeling :( Hate samsung for this situation as it was a very normal fall and I can't believe it has affected the motherboard. Moreover, the spare parts are ridiculously costly :(

For that you will have to stay on ICS as Jelly Bean ROMs don't have a lot of customization options yet. Try either AOKP M6 or Liquid Smooth 1.5 (my favorite - it is fast and awesome)!

I stay in Malad, and yes i know its available in Alfa, but i had bad experiences earlier when i bought phones from Alfa, the phones got problem after a month, and thats why I am worried that from where i would get a genuine Sealed pack piece which has no errors or any problems.

Check for the seals before buying from any place, if the seal is broken then don't buy it. Sealed pack pieces may also have problems, that is a risk you have to take, but the chances of getting a faulty piece is very less. If buying from a local store you can open the box in the store itself and check for faults. Again the chances of a device getting a new hardware problem without any user damage is also very less, software problems can be easily solved by the user.

If you break the phone or it breaks itself, then you have to buy spare parts from some other country (can buy easily from ebay.com) and either repair it yourself or give it to a repair guy/store for repair(not official samsung stores). There are quite a lots of risks to take when buying this phone HOWEVER its all worth it. The phone is awesome, jellybean awesome, both together are just incredible :), you won't regret buying it,that is if you have the balls to buy it :p

If a buy a nexus in the USA from the play store , does it have international warranty or only usa warranty?
