Hello,

There is no way out of the cracked screen situation in India. There are phone repair websites but they are nothing more than thieves. Have had bad experiences with 3 of them - Bad screen, Tinted Scree, Delayed repairs - in the end I gave up and saved my money. Also on average they charge Rs. 9000 per repair.

Finally, I tried this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1946828&highlight=screen+repair but that too was a flop and the OP himself now recommends not doing it.

The best bet is to order the part replacement from ebay.com not ebay,in (the Indian eBay site doesn't show any results). I ordered mine from here (shipping takes a month but this guy had the maximum screens sold and decent reviews) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-LCD-Touch-Screen-Display-assembly-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/180966092922?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a226b707a - It cost me Rs. 7600 and I looked up the repair from YouTube and finished the job. The repair is pretty easy and now my device is as good as new.

YouTube repair Videos -

Full Disassembly (This video shows the Verizon version but GSM version's disassembly is exactly the same- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5fZzZANLC4

Also you don't need to disassemble every part just the parts that need to be detached from the screen.

So my suggestion look up ebay.com for a seller, order and do your own repair. It will save you money and a lot of headache.

Hey See what i will do when place a order of nexus 4....

Google play store website is not available in India so i will use some vpn service then access the USA website from here and make a order. Now problem is I have to enter any USA address in shipping details. So many websites do this jobs for us _ Indians. hopshopgo / comgateway / ppobox / borderlinx..These 4 are good companies.

Suppose I choose ppobox. Then after registration on ppobox website ppobox give me a USA address then I have to enter that address in that play store shipping coulum.

So technically my Nexus 4 will ship to USA from play store and then ppobox will do the remaining job like shipping nexus 4 to Delhi from USA.

So of course nexus 4 cost will increase its like..

350$(Google price) + 50$(ppobox charges for shipping and custom clearance) = 400$ approx 22000 rs. :cowboy:

Touch stops responding

My touch stops responding a minute or two after turning on the phone. I was running CM10.1 and thought getting back to stock 4.1.2 (after factory reset) would solve the issue but nothing happened. Its the same even then. It even happens in recovery mode (which supports touch).

Seems its a hardware issue. Did anyone face this kind of issue?

Any idea as to what exactly would I need to get replaced (digitizer, etc), and how much would it cost?

Is it possible to get it done in Hyderabad somewhere? Even suggest in Mumbai as I go there very often.

Any help would be wonderful as the device is not at all usable now. :(

Galaxy Nexus for Sale (New Delhi)

Hi All,

This should interest people looking to buy an almost new Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately its no longer available in many parts of the country.

Therefore, this post should benefit you.

I have a Chic White Galaxy Nexus. GSM Version. Used for 3 Months. Screen Protector applied right after unboxing of the device. Box is available with all contents with the plastic intact. (Plastic is secured with a residue-free tape, I have a li'l OCD, don't blame me.)

No Bill, so ofcourse no warranty. There's no scratch on the device. Still looks new. A li'l scuffing on the top side, not noticable. (Like I said, I have OCD, deal with it.)

If anyone is interested in buying this, I'm based in Delhi. Will be selling it for 20K INR. It's practically brand new. I bought it on 19th October 2012.

You do the math. It isn't available. This is the best option if you really WANT A GALAXY NEXUS. Ofcourse, there might be better phones with the same price range, maybe lesser, but we're not talking about them.

Leave a message, and I'll send you my number and e-mail for further details.

If you have questions or any requests, feel free.

Cheers,

Rajat

Motherboard damaged

I opened up the phone (youtube tutorial) and It seems my mainboard has been damaged in the area to the left of the camera. and could see that white liquid or something must have exuded out of that (and solidified now) in very small amounts. I cleaned the area using a brush but that didnt help. Still touch not working and it reboots on its own after a minute or two.

Showed it to a local repair guy, he said he could fix it for 1200, seemed dicy to me so I didnt go for it yet.

Can the motherboard be actually repaired or the only option now is replacement?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMysteriousOne:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20281743&postcount=5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
There is more technical explanation to this, but the easiest way to find out is to use root and root explorer and in your phone's /system/app normally you have the .apk and coresponding .odex to every application inside your phone. Deodexed rom (mostly Custom Rom) don't have .odex files.

Deodexed is like decompiling the application (java..etc.) and recompiling it at the same time so that the apps will work even without the .odex file. Once your rom is deodexed you can modify the look of your phone, like adding custom theme for example. this is AFAIK.

If you have a stock rom (original or update), it's not deodexed, unless it is indicated when you downloaded it.

Guys I got my phone and it is incredible. No issues with this phone. ICS rocks.

The only problem is it does not have warranty in India and hence should be used with "ultra" :rolleyes: high care.
