[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheQuarterMile:
Anyone tried the stable build of Milestone 6 kernel by Franco? Was playing Asphalt 7 and use to get a little lag sometimes so I decided to flash a custom kernel.. So far it's quite good...

*Phone charges till 100% unlike some other custom kernels

*Loss of around 2-3% battery overnight which is comparable to stock

*Higher Benchmark scores

*Played 10 minutes of Asphalt 7(smoother then stock) and lost 10% :D is it normal?

*No lag or reboot whatsoever till now at least..

Anyone else using this kernel would like to comment or suggest anything?

Was wondering if I should go back to stock or stick with this?

And how do I install the stock kernel other then nandroid backup? Links please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
try the latest trinity kernel with 384gpu, its super fast and amazing battery life, and yes asphalt 7 does eat up that much battery .. im sure after trying trinity you wont try anything else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheQuarterMile:
Do these custom kernels on the Nexus give better battery life compare to stock kernel? And is there any other method besides nandroid restore to go back to stock kernel without wiping?

Guys what if I purchase a galaxy nexus from Dubai will it work in India or will I have any gsm sim card issues

If yes then what should I do to work it in india

Getting it for 12000 INR in Dubai with samsung warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
If it is a gsm version, it will work in India,. You don't need to do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivek2701:
Guys what radio are you using for india? i currently have XXKK6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
yes trinity gives more battery than stock

and i guess nandroid is your only bet, but i think you can flash a stock kernel without wiping anything, maybe pm a dev to confirm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abbadola:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nullbesign:

hey guyz..jus bought my nexus..one qt..how do we get the original update of jellybean on our phone in india..i just got the notification for 4.0.4 update...but no jellybean update..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talktoanil:
There are following models of Nexus with firmware

1. yakju - International version, directly supported and updated by Google

2. takju - The device which google sells from Play store has this firmware. Supported & updated by Google

3. Anything else, it is not supported & updated by Google. It is done by Samsung.

So 1st you need to check if your device is takju/yakju (mine was not) and then flash the factory stock yakju or takju ROM to it.

Here is the link i followed. It works like charm.

Any Takju users received the 4.1.2 OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Cool yaar let me know if you get one... Will also keep you posted from my end :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talktoanil:
NO man...not yet :(

I can flash the phone to jakju..but that is not why i purchased a Nexus device....i purchased it to get timely update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrage1359:
Takju users, the ota to 4.1.2 is available. Just upgraded
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
Just curious to know why you guys are using OTA updates? Are not alternate ROMs with 4.1.2 better alternatives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
There are lots of alternative rom with 4.1.2 but official rom has less bug than custom rom !

[Q] Gift cards

Has anyone tried to get one gift card and redeem it?

Anyone tried it using App Trailer apk

or

http://freegooglegiftcards.net/?r11883

Is the website in above link a fake?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Many prefer stock :) And alternative for not waiting for OTA is to flash Factory Image published by google

I use Mobile OdIn to flash Bootimage and system image.. So data intact :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
I have been a Nexus One user and after switching to PA 1.9+ on that, realized how much one misses Google's/Android's capabilities if on stock ROM. That alone drove me to get a Google Nexus.

On the GNex, I will switch to an alternate ROM or kernel just for those better colors. The stock colors (at least on my device) are so yellowish and grainy in lower brightness levels.

All said, I understand each one of us have different set of requirements and preferences, so :good:

PS: Forgot to mention another important requirement, from my POV. Ads - I prefer not to have them, so root + adfree :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wessonster:
Screen Replacement

My relative's Galaxy Nexus which was purchased 3 months back from a dealer in Lokhandwala is starting to really act up. The screen seems to be slowly dying cause there are a lot of horizontal streaking or banding or lines (as you may prefer to call it) now visible. They are not visible on any backgrounds except Red and different shades of blue. Any other color displays just fine. There is no warranty so I can't go back to the dealer, so is there any place I can get a screen replacement from?

Please help.

Takju vs. Yakju

Takju = Yakju + Google Wallet ! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedreamer09:
Android 4.1.2

Got the new update 4.1.2 yesterday on my Takju device stock ROM.

My phone is behaving weird since then :confused: . Sometimes application just freezes. Even touching any key is non responsive.

Is anyone experiencing problems with the new update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Sorry, I forgot to Update:

Here is my experience,

I bought Galaxy nexus from a Singapore eBay seller, Price was $455.50 and Shipping charge was $18 for FedEx International Priority. So I paid total of $473.50 which is 23675 Rupees (Considering Dollar rate is 50 rupees).

I paid for the Item on a Monday Night, Was shipped on Wednesday, I received the phone on Saturday evening.

As for customs duty, I don't know why, but there was no charge for customs duty. I guess I am simply lucky :p

Before hand I did some searching over the internet about customs duty in India and found that there is a 2.3% on MRP will be charged for Mobile phones imported. And from one website it says, that there will be extra penalty/fine if the mobile is shipped via Post, but no penalty/fine when shipped via courier services like FedEx.

I also did call FedEx and asked about Customs duty, they said that they will clear the package from customs and I have to pay the amount at the time of delivery.

Here is the eBay Item number: 260917043431, seller name is rose528400

The seller is a Top rated seller with 99.8%-99.9% positive feedback

By the way, I love this phone :)

and Any recommendations for a scratch guard?

I've this anti glare one with matte finish. Its pretty nice, and very neat when used outside ,

but when in the dark and watching hd movies, the matte finish kinda causes the pixel to distort a bit .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
This is better and looks nice

http://www.ebay.in/itm/hard-back-sh...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item257009c472
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
I think US deal will be better,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
So far I have tried so many screen protectors and I didn't like any of them at all. Better look out for XO skins. Though it's not available in India. :(

The matte one's are good but it degrades the touch screen experience to a lot extent. I bought the one from Amzer and removed it within a day of use.

And the Amazer TPU case doesn't have a cutout for power and volume control buttons which makes it a bit uncomfortable to use,specially the volume buttons.

Better buy the hard shell cover as posted by 'heartblasts'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Nope. Not to my naked eye.

Btw, I bought this case few weeks back and I love it. It provides a firm grip and also looks pretty good:

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Black-S-line..._Accessories&hash=item41658110fa#ht_500wt_922
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
Have the same problem with the matte one.

better ask my uncle to get the carbon fiber one all around skin from skinomi.

Looks good and doesnt add bulkness.

http://www.skinomi.com/sk6678-samsung-galaxy-nexus-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html

you guys can give this a try if you find it in a store. I heard its very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
I think I'll go with this one:

http://www.ebay.in/itm/SAMSUNG-GALA...ccessories&hash=item27c6b3f5a4#ht_9739wt_1139
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Its a nice case, but I heard that TPU cases give more protection than hard cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Only problem with the TPU cases,they don't have a separate cutout for the physical buttons. If you find some then definitely you can buy one. Buy those which comes with the cutouts. It might not be a deal breaker for others though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoharkiks:
Bought it from Thailand. Enjoying every bit of it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Samsung-Gala...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3cc5e2054c

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkurbet:
Hi..thanks for the info..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sendhiloo7:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkurbet:

2) and how ppl r able to operate radio..while galaxy nexus dose not have one..plz bare with me..new to nexus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aqib Patel:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashzoomerintrack:
Hello guys,

I recently damaged my S2 and its dead now(Water damage). I am thinking of buying Galaxy Nexus now. I have some questions in my mind and would like your help here:

1. What is the current best price for 16GB Gnex going on? Specifically what Alfa Irla is offering(I stay in Pune and thinking of going aand buying there)? If anyone staying near could help with price.

2. Did anybody had issues with phone (bought in India) related that they had to taken it to repairs. I am concerned as I am aware that there is no warranty for it.

3. How is the battery life in general?

4. If you could any share any experience that would help in making the decision to buy this phone. Means version or model etc. I should check on box. (I have been in situation of I9100G & I9100 International)

Thanks.

Guys what is drawbacks of non replace battery in mobile ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
If battery is defective or battery goes bad in 1-2yrs, replacing it is PITA

Suck it up Samsung :mad:

Thanks for not introducing your galaxy nexus phone in India and we'll have Asus Nexus 7 and LG Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
^^ Lol, but seriously, what was samsung thinking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
Those guys were busy selling their Note lineup and heavily marketing their Galaxy S2 /S3 series phones in Indian market.

After lots of delays (months together) they came with a silly excuse on twitter saying Nexus line has no demand or market in India.

Now LG has announced that India would get LG nexus by end of November and Asus also announced same with Nexus 7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
It means LG Nexus will also give us pita after 2 year because in LG Nexus having non replacing battery :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
It's pure speculation and rumors at the moment and wait for official announcement on Oct 29th. Since LG Nexus is based on LG Optimus G which doesn't have sd card slot and has a Non user-replaceable battery most websites are reporting the same.

Most likely there won't be a sd card slot but I'm doubtful about sealed battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
1. People have reported that they bought the phone for as low as around 20500, if you are lucky you can get it for even a lower price, (don't know about Alfa Irla)

2. Few have reported here after breaking the screen and had trouble repairing them via samsung service center,

3. Can easily get through the day with medium-heavy use

4. Its I9250 which is been sold in India

Note: The next nexus (LG Nexus 4) is going to be available in India (officially) by the end of November, If you are uncomfortable about no warranty thing you can wait for this phone, but I think it will be more expensive than Galaxy nexus at launch

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

I think even the non-replaceable battery can be changed, but may have to do extra works like open the phone and even may have to do some soldering.

And do you really want to keep using the same phone for more than two years?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshishere:
More expensive = Warranty, Better specs, less hassle and service availability. I guess all these pros out weigh the extra cost.

Give me removable battery and SD card slot and I'll buy this phone on Day 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
^^^ True,

For me 16GB is enough since my phone is not my storage centric device (My PC is), I can put things I need on the move in phone and rest on PC.

Non removable battery also not a problem as long as it gives a full day like Gnexus, I don't need the extended battery for the Gnexus though there are moments I wished it to have a larger battery. But I don't think I will buy it on Day 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
What we can do wait for official launched which will clear all rumors ;)

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

LG Nexus can be removable battery but forget about sd card slot because it is against google policy !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
In case of Gnex, all the dry application screen protector do not cover the screen 100%. Only wet application protectors cover the screen almost entirely (more than dry ones anyway). I have tried XO skin protector. It was too rubbery for my liking plus grainy effect. Then I tried SGP Flex, it was perfect. But XO/SGP ones are way too costly. My friend uses the the one I linked to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedreamer09:
Dude if your concern is about manual, there is nothing much in the manual given along with the phone.. except inserting sim and starting the phone.

I got a screen guard from a seller in Ebay.. For Rs.84 you should try this.

His name is chandigarh-techie

I myself applied that screen guard without any bubbles.

1)Best price is around 20-21k. If you browse through this thread, you could get an average price :D

2) I can't answer as i didn't buy it here

Battery life-- if you use your phone continuously without any break, like gaming it will to 40-50% from 100%. I am using stock ROM.

3)If you don't use it much then it will easily last for the day from 6am to 8pm at least.

4) The model number is I9250.:good:
