My good friend is a manager at Sprint and she already confirmed the date and materials, training, etc. They don't have them in the store yet but she's grabbing one asap. She'd let me know if they were back ordered cause she'd be pissed.

Glad to see some new users coming in. Also curious as to the layout and design. Typically carriers change things up. It'll probably be like the Nexus on Verizon because of the LTE. It would be a plus to all because that means an influx of accessories and support.

I feel bad for a few friends who just switched to sprint and picked up galaxy s IIs instead of waiting a week like I told them. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
No, not sure for *sure*. I *sure* hope so tho ;) I'm largely going on the belief that your average Sprint user in Des Moines, IA is still enamored with their SGS2 or waiting for the Evo LTE to get excited about the Gnex. Either way, I signed up for a Best Buy promotion where they'll give me a $50 giftcard if I buy my next phone from them so that's why I'm getting it there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
I took the plunged... After using the AOSP ROMS on the Epic Touch I'm hooked. There is nothing like running a pure ICS ROM.

The EVO 3D preorder was a joke. Some people who preordered right when the link went live order didn't go through. Others didn't get tracking numbers even though their phone had shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Anyone frequent IRC? I know of #gn on Freenode, are there any others?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
I already checked the dimensions and its exactly the same as the Verizon but only off by like .01-.02 in some areas. The cases will work from Verizons version and I already ordered my case. The only diff visually is ours says sprint on the back.

Sent from what will be my future Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Yea I ordered a Holster & a Seidio screen protector & should have them both by Friday. LTE is suppose to be lingering in some areas of Chicago so hopefully I get a chance to put it through its paces
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
I am pretty sure Dallas & San Antonio will be at the top of the list for LTE but I have not heard anything about it but I would assume they wouldn't even say that it was active in even small areas until it is fully active. I will not know if I can pick up LTE until it is in my hands. From what I heard, if you have LTE active and are not using it, it will drain the battery like crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrKaotica:
I should be jumping on board shortly too.. coming from my AOKPed OG epic 4g. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I know Dallas, Houston, and SA will have LTE soon. I think May June also. I preordered on the 16th and I will shoot somebody if it's not here tomorrow!!! Dammit!! I'm jk. :eek: But seriously i'm anxious as hell to get it rooted and slap a rom on it. I can hardly stand stock. Glad to see some familiar people from e4gt forums switching... Can't wait man it will be great!! :D I may have to go back on anxiety medication until everything is ready. :sly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I heard Tx was going to get it pretty quick, but rumors are rumors... Makes sense to me though... Almost everyone I know has Sprint in Houston and surrounding. Big here!! Article from Verge on lte :

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Preorded monday morning. Soon as they sent me the text saying nexus was available for preorder. Hoping for a friday Saturday delivery window. That backorder stuff has me worried. Ive waited so long, lurked these forums since it dropped on verizion. Super thirsty. Aaaaaarrrrrrgh!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tech7:
Dallas forthworth NY Chicago and other city first wave has been on since 2Weeks ago second wave may 19 and that where 4g Wimax citys are at
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
/want.

I don't have an upgrade soon, but we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
press all three buttons [Vol Up /Dwn & Power] to bring up the Recovery options while you are on this screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Can someone with a valid nandroid please upload their backed up recovery?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
The only way to have multiple prepaid accounts is to have multiple devices. The prepaid account is tied to the phone's MEID. I was using Wallet on my Nexus S 4g before I activated my gnex and I had a balance of $38 on that device. When I activated my gnex and signed into wallet there my balance was only $10. I had to call Wallet Prepaid Support to get my previous $38 transferred to my new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I did - and when I get to the next screen all I see is an android guy with an exclamation mark in a triangle - no menu options at all - just the android guy/triangle/exclamation mark -

I am desperate -not sure what if any options I have?

Phone is unlocked - I can boot into recovery - I can push files to phone via adb - but not sure what to do - detailed instructions for the next step would be appreciated??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
No what I meant was press all three buttons on the screen with the Android guy with the exclamation point & this should bring up the recovery options
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
What version of recovery are you guys using? Toro? Link to file? I have a version of Toro but want to make sure I flash the correct one then I can post a clean Nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
I'm using Team win recovery. Now just waiting for the devs to do their magic so I can flash a custom rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
I flashed TWRP's Recovery img from here via Fastboot & THANKYOU!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaymoon:
Well I'm able to flash either recovery, so just let me know which one I need before I restore...

But a Nandroid backup with recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img or twrp-toroplus-2.1.2.img would be awesome! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kujila:
Fourth time's a charm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
I've turned on LTE as I am in ATL. I haven't gotten any 4G speeds yet, although I live 30 miles out of the city of ATL so I'm not sure if there is a tower close to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Warning to all, if you unlock the bootloader make sure you move everything off the USB storage as it will format it. I thought it would only wipe data and reset the rom but it actually deleted my whole internal memory so I lost it all. SMH.

Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Nah, it's not active yet. 3G speeds have been surprisingly good however
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbgrp:
ah okay, adb fastboot flashed the twrp 2.1.2 looks like it's working fine :) now made a backup....thinking i should flash me some trinity so i can have my spice back....and just run stock + trinity for now lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kujila:
thanks pastert33!

I might just swing by the Overland Part HQ store tomorrow morning and have someone who bought it turn it on so I can see! :D

I expect it to be off, though :mad:

Anyone in the launch markets that's close to the main city have any different luck?

Apparently from what pastert33 says you can at least turn it on manually

[edit]

thanks to journeyman73 as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've noticed a strange thing with this phone... Now biggie, really because I'm still able to make calls from home. (I live in a dead zone) I have 2 other phones.. NS4G and e4gt.. They both register on the signal at my house. And yes, I've updated profile and prl successfully a few times... Just glad it works. I have watched my signal very much testing various leaked builds for epic touch... So, doesn't appear that my signal bars are true on my Gnex, but I do get reception... Just figured I'd throw that out there... Lovin this phone though!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Just creepin guys. VZW Nexus owner here.

I see you like Trinity! Me too! Been pulling 5 hour screen times fairly regularly with 499-FW3. It has a 499MHz GPU so it's fast a **** too. I can also tell you guys that Trinity produces the best color imho. Super crisp whites. I'm sure you'll love it as long as your phone can handle a higher GPU. If not, there is a 345MHz version of that one too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbgrp:
I'm a diehard trinity user from my NS4G. just flashed any1344-404-499 on the gnex. I don't see the fw3 one anywhere, but my phone seems to do fine with the 499mhz gpu so far. and ran at the 1344 for a few benchmarks without any issues. on my nexus s I was a diehard t11 fanboi. so gonna test around until i find the one that follows that mindset.

you should see the trinity folder on my ns4g. something like 48 test kernels on it atm.....can't miss out on anything, ya know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Why dose my led notifacation only work somtimes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Because they are only coded to work for certain things.

Get Light Flow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
It's limited as it is right now but if you want complete control over it use LightFlow There is a lite version to test out as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Have anybody used the GNex Toolkit 5.7 to unroot and confirm it works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Nice! Well you ARE missing out on FW3!! So here you go man: http://www.derkernel.com/NP-test/any1344-404-499-FW3.zip Also not sure if you knew, Morfic has an app now. Trinity Toolbox. Pretty dope
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Yea I use thaybut still seems to work only sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You likely have it setup incorrectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
rooted and CWM

woot woot! I am a noob when it comes to using things like ADB and command prompts and stuff - thank god for QB King's videos -

I thought I had borked my reovery (in fact I had - there were no options in reovery mode for me - so I started over - went to QB KINGS videos for rooting the Nexus - and did everything over again - it took two different SU flashes to make it stick - but I have now got ROOT on my GNEX - and CWM too!

very cool - now - when can we expect to see some ROMS ?? :-)

thanks for those that did try to help - I really appreciate it - anyone having any kind of trouble - go to QB KINGS videos and watch - he has several that cover every possibly situtation you might run into - or pretty close anyway - not specificlaly for the SPRINT NEXUS - but they seem to be pretty simular...

By the way - is there going to be a special thread for SPRINT GNEX phones - ? some of The verizon people were complaining that we were posting "in their thread"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joypunk:
Sorry, I spoke incorrectly. It does not have an unroot option that I can see, it has a RElock bootloader option. That's what I was thinking of.

Sorry for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Ok..good thing I didn't run it. I did see the option to reflash stock recovery and relock bootloader...is that the same as unrooting or is there no current way to return to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
To unroot in theory just delete su? or you mean you want to lock back the bootloader?

I am going back unrooted, I too am having the issue with Unsupported device and I can't add my google prepaid card no matter how many times I try. I think we need a patch. If anyone knows a way around this lmk. I don't want to chance not getting my $40.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Not letting me add a prepaid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbgrp:
already got the app :)

what settings do you run on fw3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Yeah..I want to go back to completely stock..locked bootloader and all. I called Google / Money Network and they tried steps that I've already tried..wiping chache/data, rebooting device and it still didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
In case anyone wants to know... Probably not but LTE isn't working, yet in Houston Tx. When it does I will post. Lovin this device!! Does anyone know if the softkey collection for other Gnex will work on our variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
I've noticed in some apps, the soft keys will dissappear. Has anyone else noticed this? If you press where it is suppose to be, it usually corrects itself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
That dang samsung driver is taking all day to install lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Don't install it on a netbook ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
I run conservative governor, generic hotplug mod, -20 in all voltage slots and a Max CPU of 921. Also I keep the brightness as low as you can tolerate and force GPU rendering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Sprint Nexus - Rooted - Can't send text messages

I rooted my phone (with some difficulty)

but now - cannot send or recieve text messages?

I have all the settings checked correctly - at least I think I do - but when I try to send a text message - I get an error message - text not sent?

I have tried sending with WIFI turned on - and turned off - and get the same error message -

Mobile networks set to Automatic -

??? Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
So I assume there's no way to return to stock at the current moment....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
It seems that way for the moment. If your worried about missing out on the extra $40 for Google Wallet you have until 5/22 to receive the credit...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
No I'm not worried about that. But I did add some money to my G-Wallet Prepaid yesterday when I got the phone. I thought that I'd be able to use it even though I'm rooted and I can't.

So that's why I want to return back to stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
Out of curiosity, I ordered mine on Wed. and still have no tracking number or anything. Did anyone else order Wed. or later and already get tracking/the actual phone/a bag of skittles?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
I ordered the 17th got both the phone and skittles
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
What isn't working? I haven't tried it yet but I do have the $10 in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
There is currently no google stock image to be able to reflash to stock or unroot your devices.

but..

If someone with a Sprint GNex can unlock the bootloader and flash cwm via my ToolKit (DONT ROOT THE DEVICE), then reboot the phone BEFORE entering cwm so that the partitions can be set up. Lastly reboot the phone back into cwm recovery (shut down, reboot to fastboot and select recovery from the top), WIPE THE PHONE (to get a clean image) and make a NAND backup of the Rom then you will have a NAND BACKUP of your Sprint stock Rom.

Zip up the backup folder that is created in cwm and upload it somewhere for future use. I can also use the boot.img file that is created to make a proper insecure boot image although both the 4.0.4 selections in the ToolKit have been reported to work for the Sprint.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
See I heard u get 50 and then that extra 10 or its 50 BC u get 40 and that extra 10??:confused: so do we still not have our own section?? Are they waiting till tomorrow?? How does everyone like it? Well I tried install sprint visual voicemail and it started glitching the phone. But is there no charging led and I noticed a white notifications on the bottom but idk phones a lot different lol

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
I would do it but I'm already rooted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Looks like a missing the stock data img is the reason my phone won't boot pass the splash screen..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Rooted ...

I can't stand that notification light stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Plus there's no 160 character spilt

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Wait, so you Sprint dudes got 4.0.4 out of the box?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Yeah...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
Sweet! You don't need the new radios and bootloader. Nice :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Also does that sound seem mild compared to our old epic 4g touches??

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I seriously wouldn't lock the boot loader. Just go back to stock and leave it unlocked. There is literally no functional difference, and you're saving yourself future problems leaving it unlocked so you have options when the time comes to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
If I remove SU, will that make me stock again or not? If so, how do I delete it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
How's the radio compared to the Epic Touch 4G? My brother's Nexus S 4G pulls roughly 300 kbps faster than mine.

I pull 2.25 mbps on 3G, he pulls 2.58mbps. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Once we get a section I'll be starting a thread for the miui port over to this:D

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
I had a E4GT and too me they're about the same. They're both faster than my NS4G was. But that can also be dependent upon location and other factors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
Why wait? That'll get us something to flash!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
I need to figure out where to get a base for our phone and I haven't even seen ne thing about root or recovery...Been searching haven't seen **** lol

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
Umm not sure what your referring to but I've rooted and running team win recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Hmm really is there a thread?Also how's everything running??

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
your in it, lol

Check here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
Ah lol OK hmm blonde moment :p

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Follow the instructions in this link..Backup anything that you have on your internal memory cause it will be erased. You can find our recovery here Your probably better off flashing the img in the second link through fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anon9mouz:
So no Odin with the gnex BC I didn't see if this had dl mode or not but thank u I'll check that out

_____________________________________________________
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umerien:
I read almost all the posts in this thread and made up my mind that I will not root or flash rom on my sprint gnex till some legit drivers come out in those roms. I am happy with stock gnex for now. Simply loving this phone. Great forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaymoon:
Anyone able to make a Nandroid backup of an unrooted stock Sprint Galaxy Nexus?

It would really help a lot of us out.... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
What he said ^^^^^^^^^ somebody please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
+3 :) pretty please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
GNEX - Rooting Hell -

I must say that having the EPIC 4g really spoiled me - I learned how to root and flash on that device and for the last year or so - got pretty comfortable with ODIN - CWM and standard flashing procedure - I was pretty proud of myself when I was able to run Script manager and run the V6 Supercharger scripts -

When I ordered the NEXUS - I assumed it would be pretty much the same sort of thing - whoa nelly - was I in for a merry go round from hell ride -

so just about 24 hours later - I got root - I got CWM - I learned how to push files to my phone via ADB - my head is spinning -

Strange - after I was able to figure how to fix the recovery that I had "borked" - and finally root my phone, I couldn't send text messages - for about an hour or two - I could recieve - but couldn't send - then suddenly with no effort on my part, texts started cominng in - very weird -

nuff said - If I had known it was gonig to be this diffiuclt I might not have attempted to root in the first place - but now that it is rooted - I can't wait to flash the first rom - I must be sick in the head.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
But you could start flashing some custom kernels now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
has anyone done this yet??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Any roms yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
guess noone wants any roms for there sprints gnex! has anyone made a nandroid of stock boot.img yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
has anyone tried to flash a custom bootanimation??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Do we know yet if the current CWM will make nandroids on the Sprint gnex? We know TWRP does. Will a TWRP backup suffice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Is the sprint nexus different to root? Cause the GSM galaxy nexus is just like all previous nexus phones. Just type one thing to unlock, fastboot oem unlock. It can't get simpler. Odin isn't really used, fastboot is what all nexus used in the past and is the standard android tools etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaymoon:
Yes, TWRP or CWM, I'll take either please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Me too..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
I would think it wouldn't matter. Beside the development side, A few of us need it cause we didn't do a nand & now phone won't boot pass splash screen

It's no different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:
Wait... so the only way to push files to /sdcard is with adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Well u can go through MTP or the Wifi Transfer app...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
heyo guys, lets see if we cant get some stock images backed up just for giggles of it all :)

ill be hangin out in irc if anyone wants to stop on by ;P

http://webchat.irondust.net/?channels=sprint-nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
You have just earned the rest of my thanks for the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
What rom will run without issues? Last I heard someone flashed a CM rom I believe and couldn't get cell service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
I think he was referring as in general because no one hasn't did this yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwan:
Will you be porting miui?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
uh no.. i was asked to jump in and help by a few ACS members :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
I have a nandroid before root....

Uploading to dropbox now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tilton53:
Can you upload it somewhere for us to use to restore our broken phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Uploading now its a twrp recovery right after unlocking and flashing recovery no apps installed no root nothing

Edit

Its taking awhile to upload

Edit 2

I should have zipped these files!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
It's just different for me that's all - I was coming from the EPIC 4G - it is the only phone I had rooted previosly - I never had to run "ADB BOOTLOADER" before - never had to do much other than connect my phone to my computer - move files to the SD Card - boot the phone into recovery - flash - I am not a developer or themer - or whatever - I enjoy flashing roms and messing around with my phone and am grateful as hell for the cool things the developers and themers come up - so flashing the Nexus from Sprint was ten times more difficult (for me anyway) than it was to root the EPIC 4G - but that's just me.

Don't get me wrong - I love the NEXUS and am very happy I got it - I miss the slide out keyboard a little - but I surprised myself at how quickly I am getting used to the onscreen keyboard -

So bottom line, it was just different - and for a non - technical guy like me - who has to learn as he goes - it was very hard to do - but that is all water under the bridge now - at least I think so - I am rooted now - and all is good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dallastx:
Got mine from best buy. It fits verizon and sprint..Also might want to go to Verizon to get your NFC batteries. THey i think 50% off. Paid like $24 a battery oh and they are extended batteries. They fit with default sprint case and Seidio holster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tilton53:
From the IRC channel:

Okay decided to zip and start upload again should be done in like 5 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
What does this do? Is this to go back to stock?
