[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I've never seen a phone at the zoo in a cage or in the jungle. Sorry.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] delti90:
I've seen a lot of them in the wild. A few of my friends have the Nexus, and I've counted 4 people in my math class with the phone and a few other people in some of my classes have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
I've seen two Galaxy Nexii around campus and two Nexus S's running Ice Cream Sandwich. I have to fight the urge to go up to them and bump with their phones to pull off Android Beam. Something's telling me that I should keep fighting the urge though....:D

Android Beam aside, this is actually one thing I like/hate about the Galaxy Nexus: less people with it just makes it more unique. Part of me wants to be the few that has a phone this great, but the other part really wants others to experience what we do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasg001:
My workplace started offering Androids last year and the gnex became an option a couple months ago. Definitely seeing more gnex's in the wild lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Y can't i relate this to gnex in any way :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshndroid:
I see a few sgs2 around but only myself and the misses have a gnex... Oddly enough I do see alot of HTC Desires or wildfires around... I did however make the misses recontract to get a gnex tho... Now there are two sensations collecting dust lol and a sgs2 as a dust cover..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftyy:
My friend has one but that doesn't really count hehe

Other than that I have not see another one out in public.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ruxin:
I know of at least a couple of people where I work that have Nexii based on conversations, but have never had the urge to ask to see them.

My younger brother has one, based on my recommendation (he loves it even though it's stock, and I don't think that will change)

And I have a friend who got one based on my best mate talking up my phone... even though my best mate doesn't have a Nexus.

As for random encounters, I'm yet to have one.

I did nearly try and convince some random woman in a phone shop to buy one... she was looking at an Android based on her boyfriend having one, and had heard good things about the S2. As soon as the salesman finished trying to sell her on the S2 and left her to consider, I almost walked over to offer my opinion...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oxeneers:
I go to San Francisco State University here in California, and it's predominantly iPhone users all over campus. However, I have seen quite a few Galaxy Nexii. But that's because I too have a problem "checking out" what phones people are using.

They're all Verizon versions, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
actually one of the reasons i like my galaxy nexus so much.. no one else in the office has one, or very few at least.. everyone has the s2.. i like that my phone doesnt have a big logo blazened across the front..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I just gotta plus this post specially on the logo thing. It's like stealth mode on every time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
What he said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
Nope. Seen a couple of HTCs, other Sammys but not a single GN. Millions of iPhones and their dumb self content owners.

Guess we are unique. And special.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamz0r:
I've only seen mine, my flatmate's and another friend have a Nexus.

When I first ordered mine I had to wait for a long time before I got one since there were so many orders.. so where are all the wild phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
iPhone owners are hoarding up on them just so their fellow iPhone users don't realize how dumb their phones are compared to the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaestreetss:
How smart is a "smartphone" that can't do basically anything you ask it to do?-iPhone

But back on topic the 1st one I've seen which was even b4 I bought mine was in Feb and it had the T-Mobile branding in the front too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Me. My wife and a friend of mine have a gnex. If you don't have S2 or sensation XL you ain't cool in my country. I'd rather be a minority with latest updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemulen:
Never seen one except mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
I live in Seattle and haven't seen one.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Karsie1994:
i have seen 2 Galaxy nexus appart from my own :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 916Kev:
Spotted one in Oakland, CA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftyy:
My roomie who is an iPhone 4s user is very tempted to switching to Android after seeing my gnex.

He saw what the android can do an was amazed lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smeelious:
I haven't seen any other than mine. Though mine looks like a generic slab of black...why do I use a case again?

I still see more Blackberries than anything (Blame Canada.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dropback:
Same in Germany. You see a lot of Apple stuff, iPhone all over, some HTC and of course SGS2.

But i´ve never seen a GN in the wild.

But maybe i can take a picture of mine when i´m out fishing next weekend:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3ddyz:
Never, all I see are SIIs and iCraps, can't understand the fascination with Apple products oO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chris_el:
Sydney Australia here, catch a full train everyday and have only seen mine, lots of iphones, SII's and a few HTC's. My girlfriend has Nexus S so was able to try out Android Beam, pretty cool. Going to Mid-night screening of Avengers tonight, so maybe better chance to spot a Gnex there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
Never seen one aside from my own. I've seen plenty of people with Galaxy line handsets and stupid amounts of iPhones, but absolutely no Nexus'.

Too bad, because they're missing out ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
People I have convinced to get it so far (and they have bought it!!): my boss, a good friend, owner of the steakhouse we frequent. :thumbup:

And have seen at least 4-5 more in the wild!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
OK, I know a lot of people will wonder what this post is doing here.

Anyways for all the guys who are fortunate to have a family member or friend with a Nexus, could you give the rest of us an outline of what two Nexii can do over NFC natively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
Same here in Melbourne :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luftrofl:
Where and when?! Might've been me =O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
With Sprint in the game now we should see more

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Because you're a terrible person?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rusty815:
I go to the university of California San Diego and have yet to see another nexus, a good 90% of the population here has an iPhone, everyone else has random android phones such as the razr and sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Lafayette, IN here - NEVER seen another Galaxy Nexus. Where I work I see random androids and mostly iPhones. I find it weird that there ARE more androids in the world than iphones but yet I always see more iphones lol!

I've showed my Nexus to several co-workers, mostly who own iphones, and they just go "meh, screen is too big.." -or- "the camera sux0rz compared to my 4s" -or- "but Apple is the best, and my mac goes with it nicely". I don't get why people can be so blind.

There is one guy though that owns a Nexus S and received the ICS ota and said he loved it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Its a brainwashed snob thing and that is enough to walk away.

sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
Agreed :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Only spies own a Gnex

they are so stealth

That's why we don't see them :p

I'm always on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Only people I know who have them are 2 of my friends from school.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Like the previous person, I only know of two other people who own a Galaxy Nexus. I never see them in public and all I ever see is a plethora of iPhones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbzcar:
Never seen another.

I have only seen two other Droid X's and maybe one other Droid X2 (my two previous devices) in the wild, either.

I have seen plenty of other various first-gen Galaxy S devices, though. Some low-end Moto's and a more iPhones than I can count.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gforce083:
I live in Nashville and work in the studio... all I see are bitten apples! Actually, I'm on one right now..oops! Sadly, I am 1 one of the only 2 studio engineers I know who use Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Saw the first galaxy Nexus other than mines today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I've never seen mines up close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I never saw your either.

teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdiddy_ub:
lolololol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mooem7:
I have never seen one in the wild outside of my own. My BF has a Droid Bionic and frequently likes to use my GNex whenever possible to take pictures. I certainly don't blame him. ;) Unfortunately his contract isn't up till 2013 so he won't jump on the Nexus train till then (and that's if Verizon ever gets the next one, which I'm starting to doubt).

Otherwise, all I see are just a bunch of iPhones, some Droid Xs, Evos, and a few Galaxy S2s. But vast the majority, including my friends, are iPhone users who are convinced they wouldn't be happy with anything else other than an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMarvelous:
I have seen...about 4 of them in the wild. It always shocks me. I'm like Hey! YOU! Yeah, you! You have my phone ^_^.

One was this indian businessman, another was just a normal looking girl chatting on it at the coffeeshop lineup.

Another was this housewife looking lady (I always see her with a stroller and yoga pants). She looks confused when using it though, I wonder if its hers. And the other was just some random customer who put it on the counter when he came to see me.

We Beamed. It....it was magical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
Just saw my first one other than mine today. Indian dude at the restaurant lol :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeezNotes:
A food truck vendor had one. He was using the square card reader to take my money for food. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
I have only seen one and the guy had it face down like he was ashamed. Everyone I see with i devices seem to make it a point to have them out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'll put mine face down if its a soft surface. Gotta flash the Google back cover to let em know you're not Verizon. :p

I SAW ONE!!! On my flight back to Nashville from DFW yesterday that dude boarding in front of me had one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
Glad to see someone who saw people with a GNex... I NEVER saw someone with it ): Feels like I'm the only one in my town :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr_billionaire:
I went with my dad to refill a water bottle for the water cooler things, and as I was sitting in the car I noticed the place sold phones also, and in the rear view mirror I saw a GSM Galaxy Nexus box and instantly jumped out of the car. There was the box and a brand new one sitting right beside it, fresh out of the box. I was amazed. Aha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Only seen the Galaxy Nexus once when i'm on the train:)

Other than that, i did not see other gnex in the wild:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Reminds me of the Windows phone commercial. When the geeky girl comes up and says" We got the same phone". Lol!

I still haven't seen one. Been looking hard too.

:banghead:.

Feels good not seeing people with the same phone... until sg3 users get us mixed up for one of them BEWARE! Lol the damn thing looks just like a Nexus!

sent from a Android device :)

I'm always on!

I saw one at Apple bees the other day. It's funny how I get excited looking at others with the same phone when I Already have it:)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
true. they were really inspired from the GNex ^^ NO DOUBT!!

had the same thoughts when I first saw a picture from it ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Sorry for the OT, but seriously guys, gs3 is not even near as good looking as the gnex.

Hi,

Here in France I've never seen one,yet I look around since December 2011 that I got mine...

when I see people with their phone in their hands (in the the streets,shops,public transport) I always look at what it is....Bah....Never seen a Gnex :confused:

Rare animal in France...:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Four months into the phone and I finally saw someone else having the same phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Went to buy a new car and the salesman had one. First I've seen besides mine. Then he told me every body there had one. 35 of them, all company supplied.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Robbing that place could make a person really happy, like 35 times happier than usual :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
I once saw someone on the bus with one. I almost always see iPhones, "dumbphones", the occasional Blackberry, and various HTC or Samsung Android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Either that or working there would be an option. Sure could use one more...uhhhmm...a white one could be nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Don't know anyone with one and haven't seen another one out and about yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
I have yet to see one in Pakistan - although online shopping sites locally have commenters saying they've bought it and what-not.

Never seen one personally.

Tis strange - I initially bought the Desire, another acquaintance bought the Desire HD, then the Desire Z, then moved to the Crackberry. Another person bought the iPhone (he had a Nokia S60 touch-based phone before I bought my desire). ANother bought the Sensation. Somehow, my sister got the Wildfire, then my bro-in-law got a Wildfire (switched with the HTC Explorer)...it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

And then, I bought the GN. Took it to office, the initial response was a bit lukewarm (three people saw and commented on it). One guy bought the Galaxy Note after a week, and THAT'S when everyone had a look at my phone and his phone (my office guys are biased... half of them see things late and fancy the other phone, although half fancy mine :D )

Short answer: no other GN seen in the wild.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I spotted one the other day. Suit and tie guy so i didn't bother him.

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
Finally saw my first other than mine at Heathrow.

Guy had a verizon model... Funniest thing was we had the same case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Evil:
I've never seen a galaxy nexus outside a store :rolleyes:

actually, i see many low-end phones (people who buy at random), some iphone (other people who throw their money) and only a few high-end Android ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Does the UK use the same frequency for LTE as the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoNameAtAll:
Seen a couple. Both were in cases, but I presume they were Verizon models as this was before Sprint got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ahmato27:
I saw someone have one same day the phone was released in my country.. before I got mine :-( but ever since I got mine I haven't seen anyone have it :-\

Everyone looks at me in envy :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I've never seen another Galaxy Nexus. A guy at work has his iPhone 4s and his iPad and claims they're better. He soon shut his gob when I tethered my iPad to my Galaxy Nexus without issues and he was stuck with a screen telling him he has to pay for the privilege of tethering!

Sent from a Galaxy Nexus in a ZT far, far away!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] almosttrae:
two kids in my circuit analysis class had it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ahmato27:
I hate it when children carry such an amazing phone.. all kids in Australia carry iPhones.. as long as they don't have a GNex Im happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
In Italy I've never seen another person with Galaxy Nexus.

A lot of low-end phones from Samsung (Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Next, Galaxy Giò...), some low-end HTC (Wildfire and Wildfire S), a LOT of iPhones, some Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note, one or two Xperia Arc (or Arc S).

High-end HTC, Galaxy Nexus, others Nexus phone, or other "phone connossieur"-phone?? NOT!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
I don't know if it counts as in the wild, but I bought my mom and dad a nexus each when I got mine, the day google started selling them direct. We use the nfc bump when we meet up to share contacts and apps we like, its really cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
I work in a car stereo shop and one of my customers had the Verizon model. Gave him shot about how his was no longer supported by AOSP. Showed him mine with AOKP and helped him flash a from right then and there. Came back a week later and he was addicted to flashing lol

Still even more iPhones though :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Nope, haven't seen anyone else with one. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] royale192:
I actually had a T-Mobile sg2 and sold it for my gn. A friend got one I like it so much that I decided to sell my 2 month old phone for the gn. Best choice I ever made. I don't get the is it a new iPhone? That's what I like the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snubs:
Haven't seen one yet, but I work in an industry that's pretty rough on phones, so I usually see a lot of old flip/feature phones or iPhones sealed up in cases the size of bank vaults.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infekxion:
All I ever see are Droids and Iphones, with a few SGSs and Notes. I have yet to see another Nexus in my area except the display model at Best Buy. Verizon employees don't even realize what device I have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sackboy11:
Saw 3 gn's when I was wondering around in the mall......

Two of the owners seem to be really impressed by it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Neighbor two houses down has Verizon gnex. Haven't seen anyone else with a GSM model though. Guess I'm special.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
Judging from the sprint store I went in to today that store wasn't even attempting to sell it.

It was displayed as a nexus s.

Wifi was not connected to the in store network.

Water live wallpaper was on. It was performing worse than a nexus one. I did change it to phase beam.

Screen was off while others where on.

No casual phone shopper would have ever picked the gnex by their experience in the store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
From where I am, it's the other way around. I saw a Nexus S branded as Galaxy Nexus. Showed them my phone and the sales guy gave a look which can be translated to, "Is that a new Note?"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neonazure:
Only one...

I got mine yesterday.

Other than that, the only other GNex I'd seen in the wild was one that my friend who works at google had!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
Honestly, no idea.

I've got a GSM model (which I bought off amazon here for simplicity of sim-free goodness, since I couldn't get that back home) and just use a T-mobile PAYG account over here since they give me free data for 6 months at a time. Never really been bothered to look into what frequencies outside of the GSM band are in use here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iRa7ar:
a classmate has one (black)... i have a white one and never saw another white gnex, just ONE black nexus...

its rare :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
The ghost armor kiosk here ran out of GNex screen protectors. The guy said he was working on 3 of them with custom cuts when I asked. Didn't actually see anything, but I'm hoping this kind of counts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
+1! I work at target mobile selling phones and I do have the tendency to check out ppl's phones, because of my job and because I'm a phone maniac. I've seen quite a few, but only from people that are also enthusiasts and love android deving. It's kinda like a fan phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Five good friends of mine have them, because I told them to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
5 out of 12 guys in my shop have them. Now my wife has a nexus too. I kinda talked her into it but she likes it. Coming from a sprint gs2 to a verizon nexus she seems happy overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suprafreak1000:
Haven't seen any here lol.

Most people I've seen have Inspires, or an iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] aykrico562:
about a week ago i flashed The Express Rom on my 3D. It's a cool rom, but not for me, so i attempted to flash back to Viper rom, which had run just fine before. upon booting after ref lashing viper, everything was going fine up until it was time for the lockscreen to load. the background would come on the screen, but nothing else. after a few seconds the phone reboots itself and the process starts all over. this happens with any other rom i try to install. any one had a similar issue??
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You need to give us more information. What recovery are you using? Did you make a nandroid backup? Are you fully wiping before flashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] aykrico562:
I've used cwm and TWRP and I'm on EXT4 now, none of which make a difference. no nondroid back up. and yes I'm doing a full wipe every time.
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
what hboot are you on? 1.5? 1.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Have you tried using viper from super wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] aykrico562:
im hboot 1.5... I'm on a mac so i can't do the downgrade. I've never tried superwip, where can i get that?
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Okay, do you have the app flash image gui? thats what I used when on 1.5. Pick the rom ya wanna flash using that app, let it load the kernel, flash and reboot to recovery. When using 4EXT you should factory reset and wipe cache+dalvik, then flash the rom of your choice, wipe cache and dalvik, power down, then power back up. Hopefully ya should be in the clear...
[HTC EVO 3D] aykrico562:
cool ill try it now, usually i flash the kernel after flashing the rom, ill try that out though
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
The super wipe is in the viper from thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Yeah, you normally flash after the ROM if you are wanting to change it. But with hboot 1.5 you cannot flash a kernel without adb and a computer or the flash image gui app.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Wrong. You can flash kernels with 4ext.
[HTC EVO 3D] aykrico562:
GOOD CALL!! looks like it was the kernel holding me back the whole time! thanks a million!
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Badass. Just started using 4ext right after I downgraded hboot, so I dont have that problem anymore. But I know it stumped me a couple times, those damn kernels....
