I applied wet xo skin protector. But it feels rubbery and it has rainbow effect. I have asked for replacement. I have ordered SGP Flex protectors too but not received yet. If SGP flex doesn't feel good either then I will try DRY SGP Ultra Oleophbic protector.

How much this cost ?

Battery costs 29 pounds.

Screen protector costs around $19 including shipping.

S-line TPU case has no problem with jeans. It fits nice on the Nexus as well as it goes well with Jeans.

Regarding the deal that you had mentioned, I couldn't find any advantage that you can get with it.

Though he is providing a screen guard along with the case for 499/-, but no info was provided on what kind of screen guard it is. In eBay itself you can get a screen guard as cheapest as 54/-.

If you are looking for a deal, then do this.

Try to recharge any Vodafone prepaid mobile (if you don't have one, try if your friends has one) from Vodafone website.

If you recharge it with more than 150/-, you will get an eBay coupon worth of 100/-.

Try to find out the best deal that you can get in eBay and apply the coupon that you got above.

Thats it, you got the case for 100/- less than the offered price.....

If you don't like the method, please don't crib me...

Dude just have a look on it

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=280937350890

It is also called s-line tpu gel soft silicon skin case ? So like it is also called silicon get case or what else ? As it is also gel case then it will also be difficult to carry with jean ?

Just saw transparent case and it is quite good what you say guys about this ?

GNex Prices

i just went through the thread and read the prices at which most people are buying the phone online or at different shops....just a small suggestion...i got my phone for 24k (white) a month ago (seal packed and stuff)..a friend got it a few days ago. so just to update u guys on the latest prices i know...anywhere in mumbai suburbs, you will find following prices

Gnex i9250M Titanium silver- Rs.23000

Gnex i9250M Chic White- Rs. 23500

Gnex i9250 Titanium Silver- Rs. 23500

Gnex i9250 Chic White- Rs. 24000
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OrrPenn18:
Alfa Parla? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
I fee the first one is S-Line TPU case (according to the description provided in eBay, though he didn't mentioned whether it is S-line or not). For 250/- its a good deal. From the pictures I can see its actual S-line TPU case, but I don't know why he had mentioned GEL soft, may be a mistake, not sure.

Regarding the transparent case from Belkin (though I couldn't get any review of case for Nexus) but there were some reviews of Belkin cases especially for S2. According my understanding, the dark colored cases from Belkin are fingerprint magnets, though the case fits fine (same as the S-line TPU), but you need to wipe your screen as well as back frequently, if you don't like the finger prints on your mobile.

Since your interest is in transparent (white), I'm not sure whether finger prints are visible or not?

So its your call.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Thanks mate for your advise ! You mean to say that if I will go with TPU black case then it will be fingerprints magnet ? As compare to transparent ?

Hi Guys,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
CWM Touch? Eeek. Try TWRP, much better interface, easier to use. But that's of course if you want to install custom ROMs, otherwise it's all fine.

So on Tuesday I was standing in line at McDonald's for my order. I took out and started using my GNex, and two guys were standing near me. As soon as i took the phone out, one of them says to his friends: "Oh man Nexus, I love it". That gave me so much joy, hehehehe. Guess I should have told him he can get one easily :p

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

The M version is for Canada, but is supposed to be the same as the non M version. It's for the carrier Telus according to GSMArena.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
Yup, let me say once again, that if you go for Bleking Black TPU case (but not all TPU black cases are finger print magnets, for example like S-line TPU black case or Amzer black TPU case etc), then it is finger print magnet. But for Belkin TPU transparent case, I am not sure but I feel it won't be a finger print magnet.

Guys who flash cm 9 stable version which is just released ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr33:
Who would want to ? After jb ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azeem.droid:
Try out the jelly bean roms. Ull get spoiled by choice and most of them are under active development and are stable. Keep flashing;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I know we all have stock jelly bean rom but custom rom more customizable then stock that why and if new update will come up then you can switch to stock rom once again !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Even JB ROMs offer (almost) the same amount of customization. And there are CM10-based JB ROMs out there if you wanna give it a shot. And honestly, there's NO way you can go back to ICS after experiencing buttery-smooth JB. Like, seriously.

Paranoid Android, AndroidME CM10 version, Black Bean AOKP are some of the CM10-based ROMs, to name a few.

Among the AOSP-based ROMs that offer a good amount of customization, check out XenonHD and Liquid Smooth. They have built-in Theme Chooser as well (although I am not a fan).

Bottom-line: There are a lot of JB ROMs out there which are pretty stable for daily usage. You have no reason to go back to ICS, in my opinion.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
I know dude there is lots of ROM which based on cm 10 but I am taking about stability !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Re-read what I've said. *Sigh* They ARE stable.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Remind me again, where ARE you even talking about stability, by the way? I only see you talking about customization.

FYI, here's what you said:

I don't see any mention of stability whatsoever! Do YOU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Let me tell you cm 9 stable version is out for nexus ! And those rom which is based on cm 10 which not bug free !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
I don't know what you're talking about. CM9 stable is OUT for all the phones, not just Galaxy Nexus.

My question is this: where have you ever mentioned 'stability' in your first post where you asked about CM9?

You ask about customization first and then start discussing something else (stability)! Wow. Genius.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
OK, let's revive this group.

How's the stable CM9 ICS ROM treating you by the way? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
I am on CNA JB at the moment. It's decently fast and has all the features that I was used to on ICS. Battery life is also pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
I don't see the reason to use stock ROMs on the GNex. CM9, CM10, AOKP, ICS or Jelly Bean, they are always stable on the GNex thanks to it being an AOSP device. CM9 might only just have become "stable", but it's been stable on the GNex since long. Using AOKP for the past two weeks, no problems and it's customizable enough.

Also, count me out of discussions, XDA is not a place I visit often anymore or comment on posts much. This is actually the only thread here that I have commented on in the past few months (except a post or two here or there). Reading posts from foolish and demanding people in those ROM threads really angers me, which is a sentiment that's shared by a lot of us oldies, hence we don't really visit XDA. :p

An idea: use IRC for chatting in real-time instead of here on XDA. http://webchat.freenode.net Enter any nick (different enough so it isn't in use), channel name = #gnex-india

See you there. I'm always there! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Totally valid point. This is what I was trying to explain the other day and one of our genius users ;) still believes CM9 is better than JB. I wanted to GTFO of this group and unsubscribe right away :silly: I tried explaining, but then "CM9 offers a lot of customization" over other ROMs, apparently, without even trying any JB ROMs. :rolleyes: :eek:

People got to understand that AOSP and other ROMs for GNex are (mostly) stable because it's NOT a port.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Not a port + all sources available from Google (ready-made binaries if not open source) = it's not like other devices where you need to work with some closed source stuff and hence play around with unstable ROMs and things that don't work.

As for using CM9, I can't really use ICS over JB anymore, ICS is just slow compared to JB. Customization in CM10/AOKP/CodenameAndroid is good enough now, so it's all good :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
It is quite stable but still some bug bcoz it is first released of stable ICE ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
If you don't get the option to automatically update (check in Settings - About - Software Updates), then you will need to flash a takju or yakju build on your phone as you probably have some other build. Follow the instructions on the thread below to convert to takju/yakju:

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock

Make sure to backup everything, including SD card files, before attempting anything as the process wipes/factory resets the phone. You can use App Backup and Reinstall app to backup your installed apps and to restore them later.

Rooting 4.1.1

I have flashed 4.1.1 on my nexus using the Nexus Toolkit 7.8. Can i root 4.1.1 using the same toolkit? Please help? Getting confused, as the toolkit says can root only till 4.0.4.

Regards,

Rakesh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
I have the latest toolkit (v7.8) and it can root up to 4.1.1 upto the JRO03C build. Even the toolkit thread mentions that. Which version are you using?

Also, another method to root is to download the su file Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and put it on the SD card, use option 10 to boot to a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP in the toolkit, install the zip file and then reboot. Done. This method won't check what build you have, will simply root it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshdev:
Thanks

addicted...thanks a lot...managed to root, flash CWM and install busy box through the toolkit...donation to the Big Guy on its way...thanks a lot to you to....lot of learning curve coming from SGSII to Nexus....

i got mine from this site , there are cheaper opinions but when i bought it it was just 26,990 INR, plus ebay gave me a 500rs voucher.

so i bought it for 26.5k only

id recommend you go through this dealer because he ships it fast and also gives good email support, and packages the phone box really well. only downside was it was a yakjujp build and was not supported by goog directly, i just flashed the yakju build and i shall get updates from google now :rolleyes:

Buying from ebay Singapore

Hi,

You must have received the phone by now. How much did you actually end up paying? What about custom duty? Was it charged extra?

Please share your experience of buying from Singapore ebay...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokussjx:
Hmmm.. I'm intrigued.

Why do you think so?

Superficially, it seems GN hardware is mostly a downgrade from S2. (Note the word 'mostly' ;) )

S2 has had many, many, many mods! We have option to dual boot ICS with Backtrack, or any common linux OS. We have the option to flash Mozzila's Boot-to-Gecko (private testing).

It appears, S2, & Nexus S have had the most varied & powerful customization. More than any other smartphone.

GN has few ups, & that too, most pros are considerable when the GN is TORO, & not MAGURO.

Will you please elaborate? On what terms are you speaking in?

I am considering getting a new phone, & am quite torn among S2/GNexus/GNote.

Personally, what would you prefer, & why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Can't post a link right now as I am yet to reach the threshold of the minimum no. of posts. Anyways,you can do a search over there and I am sure you'll find one. :)

GN has better screen resolution then S2 but then S2 has the best graphics performs then any other phones till date.

As far as i can tell you would not be able to get the orginal exynos chip s2 now , atleast in india now.

Apart from that if you are a TW hater or dont want to wait for manufacturers to decide when or if your device is supposed to get a update, you should go with GN .

Had mine imported from germany.. its is a nice phone compared to my previous S2 but then its not comparable with S2 as that one is a Rocket with after burners ON all time !
