If you have someone who can transport the device from US and back (if needed) , I would suggest you to get it from play store.The reasons are

1. AFAIK the cheapest Gnex you could find.

2. Atleast some sort of warranty will be available.

If the purple screen issue appears on the gnex when it reaches your friend he could apply for a replacement easily compared to a purchase done on ebay india or other online retailers.

Cheers.

Lost IMEI and Baseband on my Nexus - help needed

Guys,

Got my GNex from Saudi. Flashed stock ICS, recieved OTA jellybean - all this happened last month. Phone was working like a charm till yesterday noon - when phone simply restarted. Once that happened, it didnt pick any cellular signal.

On checking in About Phone - saw that 'Baseband unknown' and also didnt display IMEI.

Have tried multiple things since then - restart, remove and put back battery, flash factory version of jellybean - nothing works.

Help please...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reddead66:
if given a choice i would go for gnex, cause s2 looks like ****.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Just because S2 packs a superior chipset,it doesn't means it is overall superior to Galaxy Nexus. I think the screen is way better then S2. And I never felt any issue with the pentile matrix atleast in Nexus. And moreover we can expect updates to come much ahead of other devices. :)

Personally I feel the S2's display is a bit over saturated. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokussjx:
Well, you see, S2 IS overall superior to GNex ;) (Benchmark don't just measure chipset)

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...vs-Note-vs-Nexus-Benchmark-comparison_id28676

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42623/galaxy-nexus-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-2

Not just the chipset, but graphics, expandable storage, form factor, size, dimensions, camera (BOTH front & back), Sharpness, RGB (not Pentile), etc. all point towards S2's superiority.

So yes, overall, S2 is definitely a better option than GNex.

Due to the 'Nexus' property of GNex (Google Support), & its screen size, & DPI, & resolution, Gnex is worth looking at. Without that huge beautiful screen, GNex is not at all worth considering. & it pains me to see a Nexus device overpowered by older devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saranyan:
The galaxy nexus will not be launched in India.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hriday26:
If anyone in India does want to buy the Gnex got mine from Heera Panna, Mumbai for 23750 about 3 weeks back so I'm pretty sure they're cheaper now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Do you understand the difference between a chipset and a graphics chip? I have owned Galaxy S2 for nearly 9 months before switching to Nexus and can say without a doubt that GNex is as smooth as S2 in day to day usage. Benchmarks don't mean anything. The things I hated about S2 were:

Ridiculously low resolution screen (absolutely hated it)

Touchwiz crap (the custom AOSP ROMs for S2 are no match to the AOSP ROMs for GNex)

No notification LED (it might look like a superficial feature, but it means a lot to me)

Also, I hate using a physical home button (After using phones with capacitive buttons). Believe me, even on S2 I used to have virtual buttons (navbar) on the custom ICS ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokussjx:
Believe me, I got Virtual buttons on S1 (You can't beat MY love for them xD).

I know what you mean, & I don't disagree. But, You're wrong to say benchmark doesn't mean anything.

How the Linux Governor, Scheduler, Processor, GPU etc handle the the complete interwoven link between the OS & the Phone Hardware, DOES matter.

If you say it doesn't matter, c'mon.. what's left? ;)

And like I said, the overall, & general character of GNex, is somewhat downgraded from S2. You can't disagree with that, can you?

And I mean HARDWARE, not the UI, or User Experience, which are solely based on screen & smoothness. (Smoothness same in both, but Screen better in GNex. So it seems to have upper hand).

GNex SHOULD have had hardware specs to at least surpass a phone much much older than itself. :)

That's my point.

Galaxy Nexus will not be launching in India

http://www.bgr.in/manufacturers/sam...ges-it-wont-launch-the-galaxy-nexus-in-india/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reddead66:
looks like i ve got no choice now, no gnex for india:mad:

will try to hunt down non-g s2 after prices fall....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
I agree to your point that bechmarks are corner stones for gauging a phone performance but then you need to understand S2 was designed to be a market dominator and Gnex was designed to be a Ice cream sandwitch launch device.

you cant have a device geared to be a bearer of new os to be a market leader or dominator , if that is the case then there will be no way for older less capable devices to upgrade to the new os. if truly that were the case then what is difference of having a andriod ! i might as well have bough a iphone! (No pun intended)

If say ICS was released saying it will only support phones which have 720P resolution then what will all the might of S2 be useful for as it does not have a 720p as a matter of fact most of the phones in market would not have.

So my friend stop comparing a S2 to a Gnex or any nexus to any other device as a matter of fact because a nexus is google's child and as such regardless of its poor hardware its still the top gun in the andriod world as it has the pure google gene!

Its not the battle of the fastest its the battle of who has the cutting edge software !

Peace :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
Yea, well. I don't know if it's just me, but I would take a phone with a better display and stock experience over a higher-spec'ed, bloated device any day, especially when both of them are equally good at handling day to day tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prakashpn007:
Are you guys getting OTA updates? Or we have to download from Google. I was planning on buying a one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokussjx:
@notanoob

hehe, Totally agreed ;)

That's a point. Both are good phones, & both serve different purposes.

One for high-spec hardwares, other for Cutting Edge Display/OS.

Overall, one might call one or the other a better phone, but yeah.. It comes down to choice :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Yup got my update over air :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:

2. whether this device will work on any GSM network in the world.

Yes to both of your questions. Just one thing to note: Google Play Store does not ship to India. So you will have to find someone in US who can do that for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earendil85:
Still nothing :( I flashed factory ICS back on the phone, but the baseband and IMEI problems still exist... I am yet to root the phone again and check the root folders, but I have a feeling that the EFS folders are still missing.
