True.

Going by benchmark, S2 totally rapes Galaxy Nexus, in almost all type of benchmarking categories.

I totally wonder on the stupidity of manufacturing awesome devices like galaxy nexus, using Pentile Technology.

Despite that, it's got a great screen.

S2 Rocket is a super device. Nexus is far behind it.

Personally, I'm considering Note... If I can somehow pull that budget ;)

Which custom recovery is best its CMW ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AvijitGhosh82:
I want to buy a nexus ....where should I get one?

Can anyone sell me a GNEX for 12k? It should be scratch and stain free, and running stock jellybean ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
Not sure about that, never played with those. Might be the file format isn't supported on GNex, though there are mods for GNex that have S3 stuff, could give them a try.

TWRP. CWM has a really clumsy interface. TWRP has a nice interface, more options. But of course, the basic thing they both do well i.e flashing ROMs.

12k? for a Galaxy Nexus? I think you're dreaming about getting a Gnex at that price ;) Get it on Ebay (or some other online store that has it, I have no idea which do) or from a local shop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
If i flash custom recovery so will it affect to get official update by OTA ? If not then plz give me the link to flash recovery !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
As far as I know, the OTA checks the recovery as well to see if anything has been altered and hence will probably fail. But once you flash a custom recovery, you can always flash new updates from recovery which the nice guys at XDA always make available for manual flashing.

Also, you guys really should browse the GNex XDA threads and search for recovery and stuff yourself instead of asking for everything. Everything is available on XDA. Doing things yourself is the best way to learn, yes, including searching for stuff. If you're uncomfortable with the flashing stuff, then you should stay on stock (CWM has no use if you aren't intending to flash custom ROMs, also once you flash custom ROMs, you don't get any official updates unless you flash manually) :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Which rom u r using now and recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
TWRP, hands down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] godlike_988:
Alright. THanks a lot pal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
I've used XenonHD. Real good ROM with lots of AOKP features implemented. Perfectly stable for daily use. As far as kernel is compared, Trinity - simply the best out there, in my opinion. XenonHD + Trinity = I've got close to 4.2 hours of screen-on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Means TWRP is better than CMW ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syncopy:
Yes, I was a CWM user previously. After flashing TWRP, I can't imagine going back to CWM..

via GNex!

The low sound on jelly bean which @drjamit mentioned its really low as compared to ICS or its usual low on nexus ?

For that you need to flash 'yakju' or 'takju' build as other builds are yet to get the JB update. Follow efrant's thread for flashing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
In Delhi's Gaffar market,its available for 23k.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addicted2088:
It is not too high on the Nexus in general, but high enough, but Jelly Bean reduced it to lower than what it was on ICS. If it's something important you do and need to be able to not miss any calls, the GNex sound on JB might be a little low. It's too bad the Volume+ doesn't work on JB yet.

GNex Screen cracked - Mumbai - HELP!

Hi guys,

Know any repair outlets in Mumbai? My Galaxy Nexus took a fall and now the screen is cracked. There was no damage to the phone, only the screen. There is no display, even though the phone switches on etc.

Any reliable repair options?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
sharing screen protector feedback (Amzer, sku :92680)

I tried Amzer's Anti-Glare Screen Protector, SKU : 92680 ( It was available for just 120 Rs at fommy.co.in ) but I was very disappointed with the quality and I had to throw it away for 30 mins of use. It made my Gnex touch screen feel like a carbon mobile touch screen.

Dear friends,

I have option of keeping s2 or nexus since carrying 2 big mobiles is troublesome. Before nexus i have defy with miui. Things which went in favour of s2...

1. Optimal screen size.

2. Better blacks than nexus

3. Better camera.

4. Warranty

5. Auto redial built in calling in samsung rom

6. Expendable memory capacity.

7. Accessories availability like battery, cases etc.

8. Jkay mod.

9. Better ringtone volume than nexus.

So i m back to s2 and defy combo, one for multimedia consumption and socializing and one for hospital calls.

I will miss this thread.

Thanks for all the support.

Guys, Btw the picture that i posted of the galaxy nexus being sold in india...news is that a samsung representative has denied the launch.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshdev:

yes it can be repaired, but without warranty and may cost a lot depending on damages :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] varunoza:
yes it can be repaired but you would have to rely on local shops as the samsung service centers won't dare to touch it. worst case scenario woulod be only if u cause any physical damage to it. because parts for the nexus are costly as they aren't official and aren't bulk ordered in india. and in case you have any software issues...guys at XDA will be happy to helpyou out!

Hi!..I have an issue with the screen. Sometimes when I keep my phone aside my phone screen suddenly lightens up shows the pattern unlock page and automatically turns off. This happens 4-5 times in succession. First I thought its because of the antivirus app so I uninstalled it but still the problem persists. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestion will be helpful.

I haven't rooted my phone and it's Ics 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
Nope. That was my first visit to Gaffar market but the phones looked genuine . The seller had many nexus phones available . Box, packing etc looked genuine.Though boxes were not sealed but batteries etc were packed and phone looked new. But I did not spend much time in the shop as my nexus was about to reach India (I had asked my friend to get it from US google play store).

I would have seriously considered buying if I had not already purchased one from US.

You can also try maniacstore.com, I have read positive feedback about the store in this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Please got through the forum,this has been discussed quiet a few times.

Only the 'yakju' and 'takju' builds are supposed to get the updates from Google directly. Rest of the builds will get only from Samsung(so it can be a long wait,sometimes just too long). What you can always do is flash any of the 2 builds and you will get the JB update OTA instantly. And for that you don't have to root. You'll have to flash. For flashing a 'takju' and 'yakju' build,you can follow efrants guide. I have done the same thing.

I guess its just a rumor,Nexus is not supposed to have an external memory slot option as Google believes in unified storage. Another probability is that it might not be a 'Nexus' device. Even in the image the i9250's screen is written as 'SuperAMOLED' which is incorrect. It's 'SuperAMOLED HD'.

What ROMs are you running?

Switched to AOKP's official JB1. It's awesome, but only slight issues here and there- I can't change navbar height, for one. Tried PA first, but somehow found it less customizable (apart from the different hybrid modes of course). Will prolly stick to AOKP for now:good:

I just bought gnex from Mumbai..well it is on 4.0.4 ...

baseband version : I9250XXLA2

Now I want to update to JB..as OTA update not available,I was searching for manual update. But it requires root & unlocked boot loader..

I am confused now as I came to know that my build version is of VERIZON.

How is it possible?? & How to root or update it..so guys pls help me..

Most probably its a 'yakjuxw' build and a gsm version. You can follow efrant's guide to flash 'takju' or 'yakju' build and you'll get ur JB update. Even I too used to have the yakjuxw build only.

Next download the sdk (fastboot) and unlock bootloader easily.
