I doubt you will get nexus that cheap. 18k is way too less even for second hand unless is a very carelessly used piece.. :D here in Hyderabad i saw 1 for 20.5k. Had minor scratches but was good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shohratshankar:
Not sure if this is the same issue, i had something like this earlier.

Try changing the channel setting on the WIFI router from "Auto" to "11"

That is what worked for me.

Also have u checked the advanced wifi settings? hope the "Keep wifi on during sleep" setting is on "Always".

uncheck the "avoid poor connections" setting.

Hope it works soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1808:
Well is it a easy process .... dont want to mess things in the first week.. and no chances of a brick right??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Easy as long as you follow every step carefully. Chances of bricking are 0.01%. It's not a Nexus device for no reason! No bricks, all works! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1808:
And also is there a need for a scratch guard ... I read somewhere that it has fortified glass and the store owner was saying that it has gorilla glass..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
It's only fortified glass, not Gorilla glass, but still very strong and scratch resistant. Just be careful with it, or buy a case to protect it overall, because scratch guards really ruin the beauty of the SAMOLED displays :D A Galaxy S3 case will fit it fine.

Guys I'm still not able to figure out this mystery about Google wallet. I got my nexus from play store and now it is updated to 4.1.1 tajku.

Thing is I can see wallet.apk and GoogleEars.apk in the syste,/app folder. But they are nowhere to be seen in the app drawer. No way to launch them at all. Why is this happening? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You can unfreeze GoogleEars.apk using TitaniumBackup(you need to be rooted).Google Wallet doesn't work in countries outside the US.If I remember correctly,there was a patched version of Google Wallet that allows you to use it anywhere in the world

Could you please suggest me case for nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
The Diztronic and SGP's are really good. But it's very tough to find one in India. Are you looking for a hard shell case?

Why would it be frozen in first place?

EDIT: yes they were frozen somehow! that's weird.

Guys is there a way to change the vibration intensity on nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
Yes you can,

Using a custom kernel like trinity kernel along with the developers app to control it ,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
So which is the best custom kernel? Will I be getting OTA updates with custom kernel?

And is there a guide on using OTA root keeper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
As long as you are running the stock rom you will be prompted to download the ota when its available, but then if you are using a different recovery/ radio the update wont get completed and phone will reboot to the same version it was before you selected update, But if you want to use kernels, and custom recoveries and still get ota's , efrant has a wonderful guide for updating your phone to the latest ota's in different situation, i suggest you take a look at it over here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

and for the kernel, it varies according to each other,

I preferred franco kernel when i was using ICS because it gave me a good battery life + nice performance when i needed it,

With jellybean i use the stock kernel, its pretty smooth and i have no complaints on it so far.

Its upto you on which kernel suits you better.

Results vary for everyone :)

And otarootkeeper is simple to use, just open it and give it root permissions, after the ota when you open the same app itll say root not found, but there will be an option that says restore root from backup, select that and you'll get root back :)

I ordered XO skin screen guard from http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...tectors/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector

It cost me $20 approx including shipping. It took 12 days to reach. Screen guard is really good, hardly noticeable. Only thing is it feels a bit rubbery. I will get used to it though.

By the way,my Gnex came with the round pin charger only rather than the flat ones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
First priority is a case, because then you're protecting it from scratches on screen and body that can come from you putting the phone where it shouldn't be, such as with keys in your pocket, or maybe in your bag or something by mistake. Screen guard will be helpful as well but I frankly don't like ruining the beauty of the SAMOLED screen by putting on scratch guards.

Hmmm, my/your GNex must have come from the UK, because it has the normal round pin charger, hehehe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Agreed with you that first priority should be case for protecting all over body of phone. but what about screen because as you know NEXUS don't having gorilla glass so as you said if putting the phone such as with key in pocket then it will also can harm screen to leave scratch ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
The reinforced glass is also quite strong even though it's not Gorilla glass. Don't have a single scratch yet though I'm careful about putting it in with keys etc. I prefer only case, screen guard on SAMOLED screen = I hate it. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
Pictures in xgear website are not the actual pictures of it, they are just drawings. Look at the review for real ones.

I think Black borders will not be problem since the phone itself is black. However the screen looks a little more reflective than the phones original screen in the video. The main advantage I see in this is that it won't feel like plastic.

hi guys, i currently own a Galaxy note, wanted to shift to a different phone. among other options i feel galaxy nexus would be worth it. just wanted to ask is it worth trading with the note?? hows the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
It depends what kind of case you prefer. Hard shell case or soft gel case? or a simple pouch?

Since you already own a G Note,I don't think GNex will be an upgrade in terms of performance. Better to wait for the next Nexus device. If you had to choose between G Note and GNex,then I might have suggested you the GNex. :)

Buying a Galaxy Nexus on Ebay

HI, I've been wanting to buy the galaxy nexus for quite a while now,and ive done my research.I aware that it dosent have any Mfg warranty.I was just wondering weather its a safe bet to buy the Galaxy nexus from ebay. The guys at purenexus offer the galaxy nexus with a year's sellers waranty,is that any good? Any help regarding this matter would be really helpful ppl..and also i used to have a N1 and that crashed in about 6 months so.....

thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
Seller warranty is useless. They cover only software issues. No hardware issues are covered. How much the seller is selling for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sibin.mohan:
galaxy nexus is still available at forum mall samsung showroom in bangalore for a price of 27900 with warranty.

as the show room guy told me what do you guys think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Samsung India cannot offer warranty on Galaxy Nexus since it is not officially launched in India. I believe that particular Samsung dealer is offering you warranty on their own risk which means they will get it fixed at their cost in case the phone needs a repair.

hey guys!

purchased gnex fr 24.5 k at hong kong bazaar , bangalore( jus opposite national market)

sealed pack!.....no bill, no support

but theres this big problem....:(.....iam using tata docomo sim, able to make calls and message. but my internet is not connecting. when i receive configuration settings message, it says "ur device does nt support this service, contact ccd"

anyone having similar problem? which sim can i use best for all calls, texts and internet?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Get the settings from the Tata DoCoMo customer service guys and manually edit the APN. I do not have DoCoMo SIM, so can't share the settings.

By the way, here's the exact info from the DoCoMo website:

Create a new access point (Mobile network settings > Access Point Names) and enter the following under the APN field: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Call the CCE and ask them the settings for your phone.

Is "Data enabled" checked under settings>>more>>mobile networks ?

if not check/tick/mark it, and if still not getting it try different settings like with Use only 2G networks checked and unchecked, restart after changing the settings(some times helps). You don't need a separate setting for GNexus, Its the same for all all android phones.

Guys how to check that weather nexus support LTE or 4G ? Or all unlocked nexus having LTE capability ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
Regarding Galaxy Nexus cases, I had the following experience....

1. First I tried Amzer Soft Silicone Back Case Cover Black from ebay for 265/-

The phone looks little chubby and feels smooth. But the only problem with it is that it is so tender that when I tried to put in my jeans pocket it won't go inside easily as the soft rubber has more friction (for grip). It was a problem for those who wear Jeans. Otherwise this a great case (only for those who won't mind whether thier phone looks slim or not).

Looks 6/10; Protection 8.5/10

Because of above problem, I had purchased

2. S LINE Tpu Case for 350/-

Trust me, with this case your phone looks exactly as slim as it was without case. Looks damn sexy along with full protection. I know a lot of people won't like TPU cases or fully covered cases. But trust me, you won't regreat with this case.

Looks 9/10; Protection 9/10

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

As long as I remember, by tryping #*#*4636#*#*, Under phone information, in Set Preferred Network Type, you can see all the possible types that your Nexus supports. If your Nexus has 4G capability you might be able to see LTE or 4g.

P.S. If I am wrong please correct me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordfish123:
I had ordered this case from fommy.co.in

Amzer-Silicone-Perforated-PolyCarbonate-Hybrid-Case. The build quality is ok. It should offer good protection. From the back it looks fine. But there is a lot of rubber that protrudes in the front. It is very difficult to put in in your jeans pocket. The phone looks horrible with this case on. So removed it after a days use

Now i have ordered Rock Naked Shell Case red color. It should reach me in another week. Hopefully it looks good and offers good protection
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
Problem with sline tpu case is it has kind of grip on its sides which irritates your fingers while using and I don't like its looks much.............. I use amzor soft gel high gloss black case which really comfortable in hand, looks great, doesn't add bulk to you phone( in fact it is so less bulky that some time people ask me "why don't you use a case?" even when I m using one already.)

BTW I need a new screen protector for my GNex..... any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
There are two different types of Galaxy nexus, One is the Verizon Galaxy nexus (toro) which is LTE compatible, and the other is the International version, GSM Galaxy nexus (maguro), which is HSPA+ compatible. We use the HSPA+ version here in india.

As for 4G I quite don't understand it, In some places both LTE and HSPA+ are referred as 4G and others HSPA+ is referred as 3G. LTE is definitely 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordfish123:
You get both GSM and LTE galaxy nexus. Bit are different devices.

If you are planning to use it in India buy the GSM version, coz the 2G/3G on LTE device is CDMA. You would have to choose a CDMA operator to make it work(which i am not completely sure, if it will work)

HSPA+ is not 4G. It is some improvements, evolution in HSxPA which is still considered 3G. Some refer it to as 3.5G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poxitee:
It looks great on the picture, I am also planning to buy one of those. which shipping method you chose? did you get a tracking number with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordfish123:
I chose the cheapest delivery. Singapore Post. I havent yet got the tracking number. It is mentioned that i would get it. I ordered it yesterday afternoon. It is still not shipped. I am hoping i will get the tracking number once it is shipped.

You would also get a screen guard with it. i am not sure about the screen guard quality
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Thanks for your valuable information about case and 4G capability actually I need the case of nexus but I am so confused that which case should I use :confused: and when I check to type #*#*4636*#*# then there is showing in set preferred network type - its WCDMA - CDMA - GSM - EVDO I am confused about EVDO ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
But as you know LTE is launched in India but it is not currently in my state so like how can I confirmed that my nexus will support LTE ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
All these standards (W-CDMA, UMTS, EVDO, HSPA+), are branded as 3G (refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G). Since our Galaxy Nexus is a 3G version, hence all these standards are available.

But What my feeling is (not exactly sure), our Galaxy Nexus (HSPA+ or 3G) might support EVDO standard also. I have to check in which countries they are using EVDO standard on their Nexus.

Finally if LTE option is not available under Set Preferred Network Type, so I feel that Nexus is a 3G supported model.

Pressed thanks :) for you quite nice information to sort out my confusion ! Now could you suggest me which case should I have to buy bcoz I got different opinion from everyone so I am getting more confusing !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
Once my brother used this case for his galaxy ace, after a few days he had some complaints with it...... it got some cracks on its corners, the paint got peeled off....... and the case looked horrible .....

I too was thinking to buy this one but then after hearing the feedback from my bro..... I went for another one........

But still choice is yours... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
Glad I could help....

Can you be little specific about your case requirements.

1. Do you like a full covering case or partially covering one?

2. Does it has to TPU (little hard but not so hard) or Silicon soft gel ?

3. Do you want a slim case or even a bulk one is sufficient?

4. Finally out of protection or looks, which one is your high priority?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Seems like I'm not buying it now! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
You can buy it and give it a try so we get a review of it... ;) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
These all are good point to know which case we want. So like I want a case which will be protect my mobile from accidentally slip and it will be slim of course to carry easily and it does matter that it will be hard or soft but silicon soft gel will be sticky in jeans if case will protect screen too then that's much better to give my phone full protection :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
So what I understood from your requirement is that Protection is primary and Looks are secondary in priority wise. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

In terms of protection the barely there cases won't work as they can't cover most of the phone especially your screen.

Silicon cases are little thicker and gives you better protection even if the phone is slipped from your hand. Even these cases are little thick on the front side, so even if you put your phone screen down on a flat surface, the Phone screen won't touch the surface. ---> But the only problem with them is they won't go with jeans.....:(

Finally it lands to TPU cases, there you have a lot of choices (Amzer, S-line etc), These cases are little hard comparing with Silicone cases but not as hard as barely there cases or hard shells. It can be bended easily (you can see them on youtube). So these cases are not so hard.

Alot of members suggested that (in this thread and other threads) Amzer TPU cases are good looking and slim also. You may purchase them as they satisfy your requirement (Protection as TPU is a good shock absorber, Looks wise phone looks sleaker than Silicone cases).

If interested you can even try S-line TPU case (I am currently using it, you will not regret after seeing its looks)

Hope this solves a lot of members confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Pressed thanks could you plz provide me link of it ! And what about screen protection does it will protect screen too ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techie.raj:
If you are asking for S- line tpu case have a look at ebayhttp://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150866152384

In terms of screen protection as I told you in my last post these cases are little elevated on the front side so if you put your phone screen down on a flat surface then screen won't touch the surface.

In terms of screen protector what I found was the toughest screen protectors are finger print magnets, and the ones which reduces the glare and not finger print friendly has the rainbow effect. So far I couldn't find any screen protector which is not finger print friendly as well as without rainbow effect.
