Why does it show a front-white panel? I thought those were never created? The "white" GN was only the back plating, I thought?

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

Regarding 1 year warranty through them... what do you mean?

It says from their website:

2.3 If your goods arrive defective or in a damaged state, email returns@expansys-usa.com with your order number and a brief explanation of the situation. You will be emailed the steps for completing the exchange. Claims for damage, delivery discrepancy etc. should be made within 48 hours of delivery - claims will not be accepted after this time. You have 15 days to report defective goods. After 15 days, you MUST contact the manufacturer to redeem your warranty, please do not contact eXpansys Inc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
I admit, the white front panel looks shady.

Samsung is anal about warranty claims through phones sold by "grey market retailers" such as expansys and negri. They buy their unlocked phones abroad like in Canada and UK, and sell it to us.

Searching around, people have said that it may be hit or miss if Samsung USA will support your grey market sold phone, but warranty is done through expansys (you send your phone to them), who then contacts the Samsung warranty centers to repair your phone.

This is also one of the main reasons to buy the Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store directly, as Samsung USA officially supports all warranty claims on Galaxy Nexus' sold by Google. However, the selling point to buy an international unlocked from expansys is that it's white, $50 cheaper ($10 shipping and CA sales tax), and I do have that warranty option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
not sure why there showing a white front panel on their site , but on Amazon they have the black front panel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kr8w20:
I just ordered it from Amazon, will I be eligible for the warranty? One more question, will I get updates directly from Google and Google Wallet, or will I have to root my device for that?

(P.S: I'm new to the Android scene, so I'd love to get some suggestion from you guys.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurrpancakes:
Did the same as you, and have the same questions! Read on Engadget that the white one doesn't receive updates from Google?

Edit: Apparently it isn't that hard to get to stock, so no worries!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kr8w20:
Thanks! Do you know how long it will take to ship? I ordered mine on the 14 when they had 38 left in stock, and it hasn't shipped yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bandityo:
Just ordered me one from Amazon in white... will hit return to sender on my one coming from Google Play

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgito:
For European customers is great offer on:www.simplyelectronics.net

359€ for white one.. Btw was using expansys before for my previous evo 3d, they delivered my phone very fast, just second day by ups, but I've got a dust problem under screen and they didn't accept warranty for that and later on ignore all my emails about it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
If you ordered from Amazon directly, it should have shipped by now. By directly I mean it was from amazon itself, and not from companies like HandHelditems, or fulfilled by amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
Ive ordered both of mine using Amazon prime next day, and they both came next day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
You GSM'ers have it so good.

But at least I don't get capped or throttled :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Lol and we pay no more than $60 a month at the absolute most. So it's kind of worth it. After all of you were given the option for unlimited talk and text and approximately 2GB of data for $45 you wouldn't take it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
We GSMers on Straight Talk don't as well. And we pay $45 for unlimited everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kr8w20:
Thanks, it finally arrived today! I can't wait to play around with it! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
Whoa there buddy! Take your time with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
My dad ordered it Tuesday for my high school graduation :D and I got it yesterday :) its amazing. I'm already running aokp and its amazing :)

Post pics of the full white front. We're all curious to see how it looks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Dont think front is white. Still black
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
No idea what this is about but I got the second post! Woot :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
Thanks for letting us know about this but we don't have a working cm7 anyway.... do we? I haven't seen one. Also, if I'm reading this correctly, it seems to me any dev who wanted to could repack twrp in any Rom at release. But why would they? Not to take away from the work done by all the twrp team but when I had it on my evo shift it was buggy and rarely formatted everything properly. Has this been fixed or was it a device specific issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
There is a working CM7 for the E4GT. It's posted over at Rootzwiki. TWRP worked fantastically on my Evo and Evo 3D. Glad to see we have another option besides CWM. Hopefully we can get past the bricking issue with ICS roms and I can throw this on my phone permanently.

Thanks Dees_Troy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alchemist316:
Agree worked awesome on my e3d looks to be great

Thanks for this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Team win ftw!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
I love using TWRP and goo.manager on my cm9 touchpad. So easy to use. Glad our amazing devs have more options.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Just wanted to say I used TWRP on my 3D and Nexus S and was my favorite recovery hands down. Would love to see it come to the Epic Touch.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I'm going to second everyone that likes twrp. I also enjoyed the recovery very much and it was the one thing I missed when moving to e4gt. I can't wait for source on ICS. If someone doesn't build it into a kernel, I'll be doing some kernel research and building it for myself. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BetatesterFaze:
This is great news I'm tired of not having a working recovery on ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twilightvanquisher:
first off the evo shift is an older lower end phone, so performance on any recovery besides cwm which is so basic is probably iffy. TWRP has been pretty amazing on the evo3d and also on my Gnex, and if it gets ported in any working for on the e4gt id be happy to use it for my wife's phone.

if i understood this correctly, twrp recognized the issue with a constant recovery on the e4gt, and they are basically giving us the source to build it into our roms instead of the the stock recovery, so its atleast there on install. it would be nice to see the developers working on cm9 on this phone integrate it into the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
This does sound like a step in a good direction but I have to ask....

How do we not have working recovery? It takes literally 45 seconds extra to flash EL26 and then reflash current after the backup is made...sure it isn't "ICS recovery" but it's the result I'm interested in..

are we this lazy that a less-than-one-minute procedure is worth whining about?

Not taking a shot at anybody.. just sayin. I see people complain about this more than anything and they could have made 10,000 backups with the time that they were posting complaints about it.

Especially now that stock kernels can flash...let's let it go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i want a working one already because i dont have the means to get mobile odin, and im rarely home, i came from the og epic and most of my flashing was done on the go. Now im lucky to update my rom once a week. A working recovery that wont brick my phone is a huge plus for people on the go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
I don't mind flashing the EL26 Stock CWM kernel at all. With Mobile Odin it literally takes a minute tops. But I like having the best on my phone and IMO the best recovery out right now is TWRP. It's always worked REALLY well for me. Not one single issue ever. Add in the other features, like compressing backups to save space which may not be a big deal with this device but anyone who's used Sense 3.0 could testify how awesome that feature is. Along with being able to theme every aspect of the recovery and as a themer I just love that option. That's just to name a few. So again, in my case it's not about being lazy but more about wanting the best available for my phone. So if TWRP is a possibility I would love to see it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
I have to agree with tiffany. It is more about the recovery itself. I use mobile odin and take no issue with the current methods but I also would like to have TWRP running on my phone. Hopefully source is released soon and we can take advantage of this. Thank you for posting the links for it and hopefully one of our devs can help to make this happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Ok, I admit, odining back to el26 isn't something to complain about for normal flashing. But when trying to alter system files to get the result you are looking for can become somewhat frustrating when a boot loop occurs. Normally a battery pull and a quick flash gets you back in the game. In my experience though, as I'm sure other cracks flashers can agree, sometimes you just have to flash something new, right before you step out the door. Lo and behold you realize you have just set yourself up for failure, failure to boot that is. As I stated in another thread, a lot of folks have busy lives and don't spend every moment reading xda, all they want to do is grab what's hot and flash it with the same procedure as every other Android device that they have come to know and love. In my opinion, working recovery = happy forums. And soon enough we will, and when we do, I want to be sporting TWRP. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Why all the fuss over something that you use for 5-10 minutes when you flash a ROM, theme, etc.? How much time are you spending in Recovery?

The next thing you know people will want the "Download" mode to be themed and "prettied up" too.

Does anyone remember what it took to customize phones 4-5 years ago? Oh wait, this is XDA, I forgot it's the land of "gimme gimme gimme" and hardly ever about "thank you" or "how can I help you with that?". Users just want to be "alpha" testers so that they can have the newest, hardly do they ever upload logcats, dmesg logs, or help in troubleshooting.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Sure this is true of some but I get thanked all the time for the work I do. There will always be the gimmie gimmie gimmie people, no matter what your doing.

And yeah if I could theme download mode I probably would. Just the way I am.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesissocool:
For those who haven't seen this in action, its worth a look. It is nice to open up goomanager and see all of the latest ROMs and versions that are hosted in goo. You can select the ROM you want and the script flashes it for you and IT WORKS! It is very slick. I would love for a dev to take this on!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isaac2k10:

Just order it online and take it to the kiosk ans have them install it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alphamale99:
Got mine put on today at a kiosk in texas. It was $20 + tax for the front screen only. I didn't get anything else since I have the case mate tough case.

So far it is freaking awesome. You don't notice it at all by touching it and it covers 97% of the screen so the case will cover the rest.

Best $20 I have ever spent for a phone. And the warranty policy is fantastic since the mall its at is 10 min away:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Driggity420:
Nothing beats Armorsuit full body invisible skin plus it's $17 for a screen and back covers the whole phone even protects the curvature of the screen no problem save your money and get Armorsuit

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] noonanjs:
I would particularly like to see how this fairs with the cimo tpu case or any tpu case for that manner
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Driggity420:
It is I installed it a couple of days ago and it's by far the best I bought for my wifes Lumia. It looks great it gives it a glossy look and the screen protector adheres to the curve on the sides of the hox screen perfect

Has anyone tried the carbon fibre skins for the One X. I really want to see what they look like on an actual device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qiandongyq:
really nice, it looks covered all skin. how it feels at back, is it slip? cuz it's no grip on it. thanks so much for post pictures!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] noonanjs:
thanks, looks great. Does the full body include a camera lens cover?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Reamer09:
I stand corrected. How dare I trust the manufacture's website to advertise all of the products they make...

I've already ordered mine...will post pics as soon as its arrived/installed :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] veliksam:
How do they apply the stuff, do they have to heat the stuff so it conforms to the curves?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lordodrag86:
The camera lense is covered except for the small "hole" part.

It's got a pretty decent grip to it, compared to before.

I didn't stay to see them install it, though in hindsight I should've.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied. After the 24 hour curing period, I had no problems
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JBM12G:
What color is your One X and what color carbon fibre did you get?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
I have the grey and I ordered the gunmetal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eazyweazy3:
Went to get one put on today but they didn't have any in.

So the guy threw a screen protector on it for now and ordered the full body for me. Should be in sometime next week.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] methodz:
MORE PICS!!! lol, I really want to see the matte finish one. If it looks good I may pick one up for myself, I like the matte to match the stock matte back on the HOX.

Just got and installed.

let me see if i can fix it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] noonanjs:
did u install it yourself or have someone else put it one? If so where did u go to get it installed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fielddb:
Is the carbon really thick on the device?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jason.hamilton:
I got my phone wrapped. No it isnt thick. It adds barely any girth to the phone. They literally are just stickers that they put on. Very strong stickers. This will not protect your phone from drops, only scratches. It also adds some grip to the phone. It doesnt cover the sides which is a let down. Or the corners of the phone. Screen protector is really nice though. If you are prone to dropping your phone, get a bigger case.

Black Carbon Fiber is what i am using.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
Looks really slick tho...feels gr8 in the hand also
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qiandongyq:
i just installed mine at store today, still see a lot of "water" behind cover. they said it need 1 day for disappear.

how about yours? you screen looks like fantastic, are you already put it on more than 1 day?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
I got it put on 30 mins before I posted the pics...just give it a day and if it is still hazy take it back and have them re do it. The girl putting my screen protector on had to do it twice...the first one was kinda funny looking. Hope that helps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
Got it done at a kiosk...they did a Damn good job I must say

Edit: at a ghost armor kiosk
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shinshoryuken:
got the matte white and its awesome...i couldn't even tell its there, because it looks and feel the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] noonanjs:
So a ghost armor kiosk will install a ArmorSuit MilitaryShield
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
Is that a ghost armor product?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beppomarx:
I don't think that they are the same company but I just installed the militaryshield about a week ago and its well worth $10. possibly the best I have ever used. pretty easy with a little patience. This was just a screen protector, not the body skin.

This looks very interesting, I have never seen or heard of one of these ghost armor kiosks anywhere, has anyone had any experience installing it themselves? or know of a place in/near Syracuse NY that would do this? My only concern is now using it in a car dock. is it too thick to use with the htc dock or too thin to us with this one

http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-one-x-charging-car-dock-fits-w-case.html

with the spacer plate removed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
It's designed in a way where it will work with docks and such...shouldn't be hard to install I figured I have a kiosk right around the corner from my house why not get it professionally installed :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dreamybear:
i was hoping to get my unit fully Ghost Armour-ed but when i visited the kiosk at Metrotown in Burnaby, BC, the fellow told me that they hadn't yet received stock for the back pieces. not sure if this situation applies to any other Canadian locations. i'm going to check back in about a week's time to see if they have them in yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qiandongyq:
i went back to my local kiosk today because my screen still hazy, no change at all for two days now, but unfortunely they run out of stock until Friday, so sad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
Just order them from the website and take it to the kiosk to have it installed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Buster Hymen:
Got Ghost Armor on both my wife's and my HOX yesterday and so far pretty impressed. There is an 'orange peel' effect, but it's not as bad as I remember it being when it was first applied, and it really doesn't bother me anyway. Otherwise, the screen is perfectly clear, and it's very resistant to fingerprints, which is a big plus. The edge-to-edge screen coverage is excellent. There is a tiny bit of a rubbery feeling when using the screen now--barely noticeable--but my fingers slide along perfectly well anyway.

There was only one installation flaw--a diagonal line where the guy had to lift and fix the protector. He said it would go away in 2 days, and it mostly has after 1, but I'll be keeping a close eye on it. It's only visible when the screen is off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JBM12G:
Pictures Please.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] asjdwf:
Just got Ghost Armor on my HOX att version on notice that it doesn't fit the whole front screen! Damn shame too. The guy wrapped it in a napkin and said leave it like that for an hour so I did. Drove home (45 minute drive) and when I got home waited for the hour to be up, openened it up, and boom noticed this and a piece of dust and hair under it! Damn!

LOL
