Docomo has a branded battery door. Also yea they're factory unlocked but docomo have to be sim unlocked. I believe they do it for you so that explains the broken oem sticker.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
But not all phones from docomo are faulty, I'm hoping I get the international version :( returning the phone its pretty much impossible for me, I live in Venezuela
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Oh ofcourse not I didn't mean they are faulty. Just the factory seal sticker on the box by be broken due to the reseller unlocking the sim of the docomo version

What about buying one from Canada? I would assume returning it to Canada would be a little bit easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Where did you notice the banding?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
There was vertical banding on the left side of the screen and a lot of horizontal line artifacts right below the middle half of the screen. These were visible with anything less than 50% brightness. The unit I got from amazon has no such screen issues. I'm sure not all Docomo version are faulty, this was probably just an isolated case.

I'm not sure why the one I got from Amazon (same link as first page) came with the seal broken. Maybe they opened it for a quality check or something - that would be the best case scenario. Worst case is it was a returned unit that they sent out to me. It does make me a little paranoid, but so far so good, so I'm not too concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
I've heard that those sellers open them to replace the charger with one in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
That makes sense, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
I got mine at frys electronics. :)

Find a authorized online dealer with best price and have them price match
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its all the same. Either way you have to use the importer as a middle man to send it out. Just because they share a border with the US doesn't make it any easier to get your grey market device serviced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
BTW, the price on this phone is falling like everyday. When I purchased the cheapest unit on ebay, it was for $460, then the Amazon unit I purchased was for $452 (purchased it on Friday, just 4 days ago), and today that same unit is $451. I wonder how low it will go and where it will bottom out. I think a $450 off-contract price for this phone is amazing.

Fry's is selling an imported GSM version of the Nexus? Are you sure you're not talking about the CDMA version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
Yeah, I've been watching the price fall over the past month or so. Dailysteals and I think 1saleaday had it for $435 about a week ago - I'm just not sure how comfortable I am purchasing from dailysteals, as some other people said they had issues with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gshine:
I've been eyeing one on Amazon the last couple of weeks. Th done I'm currently looking at is shipped by "wireless4less" but fulfilled by Amazon. I've had good luck with Amazons customer service, but y'all have me worried now, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I think that's where I got mine from. No issues whatsoever. Came sealed too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gshine:
I looked on Fry's website and it is the GSM version. It is not available for shipping, but it shows all 3 Houston area Fry's have it in stock.....for $749. :eek:

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Thanks. I can't make up my mind to get this one, or dump TMobile and get the Sprint version. If I go GSM it will probably be the Amazon one I mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
I purchased one ($452 + $4 one-day shipping) fulfilled by Amazon from this seller http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/detail...CBA=&asin=&seller=A9VBWN1Q1U6E6#aag_legalInfo

This is what shown on their info page:

"All products sold by Firemall LLC come complete with a full USA warranty and include all manufactures accessories."

Hope this helps and good luck!

PS: They are rated 4.8/5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Go with sprint if you're concerned about warranty. If you aren't that concerned about warranty I'd stay off contract with tmobile. Their speed and coverage has always been good for me and I pay like $68 a month for unlimited everything aka 5gb of data lol.

You should however check what sprint speeds are like in your area. In Miami sprint is definitely the slowest out of the 4 major carriers so its never been a viable option for me. Also keep in mind sprint is only launching 6 LTE cities this year so if you aren't in one of those markets I don't really find the point in getting an LTE device on that network.

It looks like their price has gone up since then: link

Shows $460.99 for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stargazer418:
I bought one for $452 from BluetekUSA.com, fulfilled by Amazon. I'm receiving the phone tomorrow, so I'll update this post when I get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
Thanks! That's the one I'm eyeing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
Indeed it went up but a few bucks is worth the peace of mind :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
Positive. Have my tmo sim card in it right now. Its pricey but that's why you price match em to death

...edit. you have to ask for it as well they don't have it displayed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
Assuming the warranty is true... I thought there weren't any US warranties for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
If its imported I doubt it has a US warranty. I remember daily steals had full manufacturers warranty under the description on their 1 day sale but it wasn't true. I think that's what helped me get my money back from them.

Also I spoke many many times with samsung USA over a broken ear speaker I had on my old galaxy nexus and they don't even offer any support for the hspa+ version. Not even in their system.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
None of them will have a US warranty. Samsung does not sell the phone in the US and for that reason the only way you'll get a warranty is with the importer as a middle-man for a European warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Mine is a Canadian version (9250m). I was curious about this myself and called Samsung Canada when I first got it. They said that they will honor the warranty if I have	Canadian address to ship the phone to. I figure I can always use a mail forwarding service if I have to. Use a Canadian address to have them ship it to me, then the forwarding service receives the package and mails to me here in the US.

Might be an added expense, like $25, but it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
Where did you buy yours from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
Just got mine in the mail from expansys. It was not the Google supported version. Just a heads up if that's where your headed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fkinrawr:
If you want brand new go for amazon if you are just trying to save money craigslist is your best friend! I luckily got mine brand new with seal off craigslist
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brie987:
Got mine from Newegg for 449 and it came with a free Samsung Bluetooth earpiece. Probably try and sell it. Free shipping. Perfect condition, sticky plastic still all over it although the product tape was broken but all the items with manual was there. Had to re-image to Jakju but that was not so bad. Working perfectly now and just ordered the 2000 NFC extended battery from eBay. Got a good start, hope it lasts :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyz:
Do you mind posting more details on the frys version, where would the warranty come from? What's the return policy? I'm assuming its totally unlocked. I'm tempted to head right over!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Does that battery come with the extended battery door? Been looking for a good extended battery with nfc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftyy:
I got mine from a shop fulfilled by amazon with 2 day shipping. The phone is running great without any issues. My version is yakju right out the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
They are an authorized dealer and only matched other authorized dealers prices so I would assume it comes with full manufacturers warranty. Baxes was sealed with frys sticker on it as well. Yakjuxw build totally unlocked popped my tmo sim card in and that was that. Standard fry a electronic return policy plus 90 dollar restocking fee. I was gonna do expansysusa but prefer buying it in person rather than having it shipped I believe I paid 599 after price match but that was a bit ago before the recent price drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftyy:
I received my 2000 extended battery today. I bought it from a Korean dealer on eBay. It was $38 for the battery and the back cover.

Waiting for it to charge. Excited to see how it performs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alipanga:
I bought mine on ebay and it arrive last week... it is sold separately.... they'll ask you if you already have the back door if not, It's $36 for the ext battery and back door..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alipanga:
Right now I have 39% left on the 2000mah bat, my last charge was last Saturday night! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftyy:
Wow that is fantastic battery life. Good to see you enjoying your purchase :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have that battery, love it.

And I have to say, the price has come down so fast on the GNex from when I bought it from Negri back in late November. Wow. Such is the cost of early adoption. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
Also if you are lucky enough to live near one of the repair depots, I know of one in Montreal, you can get same day, 2 hour in person service. might be a day trip, but you could avoid shipping.

Another option is if you have a friend that lives across the border that you can ship to. I do this for items purchased in the US that need to go to a US address, I ship it to a friend, then he ships it cross border.

What's nice about the Canadian border is that ground shipping through USPS is relatively fast, usually about a week or so for a package to arrive. (NEVER use UPS)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
It looks like returns for the Canadian version would at least be a little bit easier for me. Does anyone know of an Amazon seller that ships that version?

Ha. Thanks unfortunately I live in Illinois, so a day trip it is not. And besides that I'm pretty sure that I'm not allowed into Canada. Apparently they don't take kindly to Americans with DUI....:confused: and will stop you at the border.

At any rate, thanks for the advice. Curious why not to use UPS?

I have a xt912 maxx. Is rooted and I installed custom Rom and even flash ics leak and fast boot back to .173 which I am on now. I used Matt's utility to fastboot back to .173. The question is how can i check to make sure I have the correct radios installed. I'm on vacation in Puerto Rico and can't seem to get 3g here....all I get is 1x.....I had 3g and 4g back in the USA but now in PR its just 1x.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Check ur radio in config/system/... the info you need is baseband.

To work properly in Puerto Rico you may need an Apn droid app to set your apn to this Country.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sporty377:
Thanks....I did the apn app and still a no go.....I guess its just the way it is here in PR. I called Verizon and its cause they don't have any service so I'm in a romming area... .I guess that's all the signal that I'm going to get till I get back to the US.......:-(

[Samsung Infuse 4G] drakester09:
Hello,

I'm looking at a friend's Infuse and it seems that the screen is screwed up, I flashed GB official into it some days ago and now the screen displays some discolored horizontal lines and weird colors all over the place.

The image is still discernible, however it seems to me that the screen is broken or something might be loose.

Does anyone know what could be the reason of these issues?

I'll add photos to this post in a moment...

Edit: here they are:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
I've never seen anything this bad... if you have restored back to stock with Odin/heimdall several times then it is definitely a hardware issue. I'm sorry :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drakester09:
Thank you for your response, unfortunately it seems to be hardware as I have odined back to stock, even downgraded to Froyo and no success.

In LCD tests all the colors are displayed correctly, only when combined or when displaying something of higher complexity is that they look distorted.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Try the heimdall stock route also just to be sure.

The screen looks like an LCD monitor with bad pin connection.

If heimdall didn't make any difference, either open it or warranty it, I guess.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drakester09:
Thanks, no luck with heimdall.

Must be hardware then.

Thanks to both of you for your great help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
There's been a few reported issue with some sort of corrosion on the circuit board of the Infuse. Those suffers the constant boot loop scenario.

Here, I think may be due to a loose video connection as you may have suspected.

If you hold the phone and tap it into the palm of you hand while the display is ON and see some changes, I would bet that is the problem.

If it's still under warranty, I would take it to the store or send it in.

Obviously, odin or heimdall it back to stock first before you take it in. :)

i might just do it myself. its cheaper. ive fixed my xbox numerous times so i have the knowledge, tools, and will power lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
i dont really wanna pay 100 bucks. ill prob just buy the glass digitizer online
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
You may want to do some extra research, because I found a bunch of the cheaper ones online that DID NOT have the little window for the proximity sensor and light sensor. Just looking at the picture for the one you linked, it appears to not have that window either. In fact, the one linked to repairuniverse does not show the window either. It should be just near the top of the "checkmark" Verizon logo.

**edit**

Here ya go, try this one:

http://www.gogotoshop.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=USD&products_id=4896

This one clearly shows that it has the little window I'm talking about just above the checkmark.
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
I know how you feel. Just replaced my digitizer a couple weeks ago. Wasn't too bad. Just make sure you heat the glue pretty good before trying to seperate the digitizer from the LCD.

[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
can i use super glue to put in a a new digitizer and lcd screen?:confused:
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
I don't think that would work because you need space between them both. Maybe use hot glue and put just enough so there is room between the lcd and digitizer. Plus hot glue isn't permanent like super glue.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Thanks. 75 is pretty steep for a digitizer. I'll see what my insurance gives me. Just hoping its less then that...

[HTC Rezound] theascended:
Since you bought your phone through Amazon, if you end up replacing your phone, make sure to proactively call AmazonWireless and tell them your phone is being replaced on an insurance claim. If the ESN/MEID of the phone Amazon sold you gets deactivated or replaced within 120 days of activation, they automatically charge you $250.
