[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
Is there a way to disable the pulsing red led notification when the battery is low? I have a 2300mAh battery with the phone reading it 500mAh, and it drains to 1% in an hour, and the phone still can be used for about 1.5 days. So basically with this battery the red led always pulses. Im using CM7.2-RC1.

Hi all,

Phone: GN

Version: stock 4.02

Baseband: i9250xxkk6

Build: ICL53F

The phone is Rooted and Unlocked

Today I receive the the 4.04 OTA update from Google system update,

after applying the update, I see the dead Android with the red triangle, have to remove battery to restart, why is that?

What should I do to get the OTA update?

Thanks so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Thread moved to Q&A.

If you're rooted and using a custom ROM or recovery the OTA will almost always fail. You'll need to flash back to a stock ROM and recovery first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Veges:
Thanks for moving to Q&A

It is a stock rom 4.02 downloaded from Google.

Would unroot and re-lock it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
You'll be ok leaving it unlocked, but you'll want to make sure you are using the stock recovery (CWM or TWRP will probably fail the update) and if you've themed the ROM at all that may cause it to fail as well.

Thanks efrant for directing me to your 4.04 update thread,

I have a question about the baseband of 4.04:

Is 4.04 ICL53F come with a new baseband,

does 4.04 IMM76I support the old 4.02 i9250xxkk6 baseband in case I have problem with the signal reception and need to flash the baseband back to i9250xxkk6 or KL2 cos I heard the 4.04 have some signal problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
4.0.4 is either IMM76D or IMM76I. They come with XXLA2, but feel free to use an older version.

4.0.2 is ICL53F. It comes with XXKK6.

You can interchange radios.

[General Questions and Answers] rockingondrums:
Hi everyone,

I'm a bit concerned. I have several disparities between what Google Voice shows me in my call history and what my HTC Rezound shows in the call log. Sometimes it's an incorrect time stamp, sometimes one log shows an entry that the other does not. I have had the Google Voice app installed for as long as it's been available, and have had GV set to handle all calls for as long as I can remember. I don't have any phone numbers other than my mobile, so it wouldn't be possible for me even if I tried.

I posted a question in the Google Voice forums, but of course I've had no response. If anyone can help with this, that'd be greatly appreciated. I'm going to need to use these call logs in a lawsuit in the coming months.
[General Questions and Answers] rhylin87:
Are the call logs for your android GV app and the GV website the same?
[General Questions and Answers] rockingondrums:
Yes. But it's strange because sometimes I get what appears to be a duplicate. A few days ago I got one call on my phone which I let go to voicemail and it showed up twice in the call log. Even just now I'm checking and I see two entries from the same number and they both say: 4/30/12 4:10 PM 68 minutes ago

Can any developer guide me into the right direction for learning about this technical stuff? I really want to be a part of this community and contribute!

TIA! :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Try porting first. Download a ROM from the desire section, use a base ROM, and delete certain. Google "xda developers porting sense guide" if you want to port sense (its much harder!). AOSP is the way to go for beginners.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBewmbastic:
I'm no developer, but it would probably help if you tell us what you know about programming, your understanding in Android (ADB? Java?), Linux maybe?

I don't know, like I said earlier, I'm no developer, so I can't really tell which information is valuable, but there are my guesses.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..Cory..:
I actually came from iOS developing... ( I hope you guys don't destroy me for that ;p ) I'm VERY new to android and seeing these ROMs and kernels here on XDA is very exciting really. It's so open and friendly-ish ( I saw a guy get pounded on for posting a question in the dev area lol ).

But I don't have too much experience.. I am a good learner though and I appreciate the tips guys! Hopefully I'll be putting stuff out there soon ;)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
The first thing you need to do is read. read read read. read as much as you can. go to the general section of xda, they have many different guides there to help (i'm not telling you to read all of them btw :p).

Next: Google is your best friend. if you are unsure about something, Google it. chances are, someone has had the problem you have before. searching around can save you major headaches in the long run.

One must also have patience. if you don't have patience, please don't try developing lol. it takes time to learn, and it takes time to develop. don't expect development to be done overnight.

The last thing you need to do is decide. make the decision. do you really want to do this? do you really want to possibly stay up late at night trying to fix an issue that you just can't for the life of you figure out? Developing isn't easy work, it's not cake. it takes a strong heart to develop. things will go wrong, it may take days or even months to get one small thing working, and it's your decision if you want to continue on.

And always remember, you're doing this because you enjoy it, not because you expect that you're going to get anything out of it.

i hope i have helped you, if you need me, you are also free to shoot me a PM as well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
Ok so I'm sick and tired of dealing with sprint's pathetic excuse for "3g" speeds. And using 3 year old phone technology (lg optimus).

I've been a part of the android club since the G1 and my biggest gripe has always been the lack of hardware acceleration. Finally I thought, a phone that does this! But everyone is saying there are screen problems...and it's not as snappy as they wish it were.

Are the issues really as bad as some make it out to be? Or are these just people who like to complain for the sake of complaining? If I do order one what should I make sure to check...and how long do you have to send it back?

Really want to click the "order" button on google play...someone convince me!! I was waiting to see what the SGIII was going to be priced at...but I know it'll be way way more. I don't really like the idea of spending more than $400 on a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Nobody can decide for you. If it doesn't work out, return it. You also have a 1-yr warranty for showstopping issues.

Every electronic device has potential issues. Mine has been flawless for months...and I'm not alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph0tios:
Regardless of what phone you order there is always the possibility of recieving a device with faulty hardware. In that case you can return it for a new one.

I can't really convince you either way. I love my Nexus, and haven't really had any issues with it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who asks. SGS3 could turn out to be great, but if you are looking to spend a little less and want something now I'd go for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
I do want it! Not looking for someone to decide for me...just hoping the issues aren't as widespread as some say. Seems like almost every experience I've read people have had to send the phone back 2-3 times to get a good one.

Kinda crazy for something that's been in production for 6 months now no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatttire:
I like mine. You could go to a Verizon store and check the screen out. The biggest gripe people have is on a grey background on low brightness there can be a grainy appearance. Meh. Don't get it if you care but honestly I don't

I haven't had any other hardware issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I highly doubt the Galaxy Nexus has any more or less hardware variability or faults than any other phone. People just like to complain, and the minority with issues are ALWAYS more vocal than the people who are happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
Okay you convinced me :p

So what's the process for using this phone with tmobile's $30/month plan? I order it online and then take it into any walmart?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Yes, every phone does have it's faults, but the Galaxy Nexus' screen issues is very prominent in so many of these devices that it's ridiculous. And I can tell you firsthand that it is not just for the sake of complaining, a lot of these screens are terrible. I'm waiting on my 3rd Nexus to come in on Wednesday and hopefully there is nothing wrong with it. But I've read countless stories about how many people had to exchange their Nexus 7 or 8 times before they got 1 without problems. But I'm just informing from experience / reading.

Aside from the faulty screens I've gotten, I LOVE this phone. It's amazing and I would definitely recommend you to order this. If you do get 1 with a faulty screen simply exchange it. Everything about this phone is great and for me the Nexus line is the only way to go now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Not even every phone but almost EVERY device that is made whether it is a radio, television, mouse, speakers, etc. There is a chance of defect. What matters the most is whether or not they will send you a replacement in a timely fashion without question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Buy this: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit

When it arrives, activate it here: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-activate

Put it in your phone.

DON'T go into a store. Its an "online only" plan. Call customer service if you need to port a number.

I

strongly

suggest that you read the Prepaid thread and specific $30 month thread before trying it out. There are some asterisks and fine print when it comes to prepaid. I personally am running this plan and love it. I just recommend you know what you're getting into before signing up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
Thanks. I'm reading that thread now...but I've read several pages and don't see any hidden negatives...what fine print do you speak of? Besides the 100 minutes I don't see any issues...I mostly just want the data speeds! I know about the 5GB cap if that's what you mean...if not, please explain?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Remember the cdma version seems to have the problems while the GSM version really doesn't. So if you're going for T-Mobile then you don't have too much to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You don't get roaming, you don't get good customer service, you don't get free nights/weekends/mobile to mobile minutes, your service

shuts off

on the 30th day of your service if you don't refill. Things like that.

That being said its still the best deal in wireless if you don't need many minutes. I mean I still use it :p . The pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Congrats, you won't regret it, awesome device I'm one of the people that likes this phone. Best damn device I ever held in my hands, once you root it and start flashing (If you're into that), you'll see that the experience will be even better. Enjoy.

If you want you can also try getting the SIM at your local T-Mobile store, to avoid waiting for shipping(I'm sure you'll get the Gnex quicker), rep should give you one. I would anyway..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
Thanks everyone. Do you guys use a case/screen protector on yours? Or just never let it out of your hands? :p

It has curved glass so do screen protectors work as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Personal preference really, there's a bunch of threads around with in depth info regarding SP's and Cases.

Wet apps will always have the best edge cover, but usually might have a minimal orange peel (not all cases). Dry apps on a good quality SP will be crystal clear but might not adhere all the way on edges. My 2cents with personal experience...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redshirt72:
My sister who is a technophobe had to cancel Sprint(had a Galaxy Epic 4G) because in her area I guess they were doing tower upgrades and were saying service would be spotty til June when they'd be done. Went with her to Tmobile and she paid 200 outright for a Nokia Lumia 710 and went with the 50 pre-paid plan. 710 has gotten pretty good reviews all over the place and you can't beat the no-contract price for what is a pretty new phone. I had WP7 on my HD2 because I got bored with MIUI and CM7 and wanted to see what the fuss was about when the Lumia 900's came out, so I had no problems pushing her towards it since its a really responsive OS even on limited hardware and its really noob-friendly. Apps will cover you for the basic stuff, but obviously nowhere near IOS and Android numbers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
I have a perfect phone and got it from Google Play. Don't let all the stories scare you. Many of these screen issues are OCD from the owner. They read on XDA of a issue and have to run and check there phone to see if it has these issues. The majority of the screen issues have been on all the samsung LED screens and are only noticeable with brightness turned all the way down, and in a dark room. I don't know about you but I keep my brightness at about 60% as I want to see the beautiful screen.

What I'm saying is probably 80% or better of what they sell people would not even notice these screen issues. But the OCD users are going to replace it 3,4,5 times until they are happy.

BTW it is your purchase so if you are not happy by all means use your right to get what you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jzero88:
Not to flame but your logic is off a bit. First not everyone who has a complaint came or even knows about xda. Second just because a tree falls with no one around, doesn't mean it makes no sound.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonsgirl:
I don't use screen protectors or a case on mine. I've had it for a couple of months and so far no damage. It really depends on you. Are you careful with your phone, where you lay it, how you carry it? Enjoy! I've had 5 different droid phones and this is by far my favorite.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:

Aggravating to say the least...considering I just sold my old phone so now I have no backup if I want to send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Since it has a barometer to aide in elevation, the GPS locks in seconds and holds strong.

Best GPS I've ever used. It's reliable enough to use as a full-time drive/walk/transit GPS. I travel weekly and it's never let me down, even in dense cities with tall buildings (Seattle comes to mind).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosemachinegun:
Yeah, I just got one with the purple screen too.

Happily, Google CS will let you keep that one for use until your replacement comes in, so no worries. It shouldn't even be that long anyway. I just called them for an exchange last night and they're overnighting it to arrive tomorrow. Here's hoping the screen is good and the UPS man early. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colonelcack:
Well thats good at least...didn't bother calling google yet, still gonna play around with it for at least a night before deciding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Thanks! As of right now, it's a toss up between Exhibit 2 and Lumia 710, but it looks like the Lumia is pulling ahead. This is going to be her first smartphone (she's using a dumbphone Nokia now) so she's partial to the Nokia brand and being noob-friendly is a big plus. Just need to drag her to the Microsoft store so she can test drive one out.

Thank you very much for the insightful reply!
