I'm having the same problem.. I've tried all things u suggested, still no luck.. I read somewhere that when we use fast charge, u cant connect ur phone through MTP, is this the case ?? Coz mine gets connected immediately even though app says fast charge is enabled :(

Can u give some more details about the tasker plugin ??

I'm well acquainted with tasker as i use it for couple of things.. :)

Any help is much appreciated :) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
This thread is a year old and the guy you quoted only has 3 posts. I dont think you are going to get much out of him. lol

And sorry, I dont use tasker so I cant help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] u4atharva:
lol i figured that..was just taking a shot in the dark :p :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hichhiker:
Yeah, that guy's a ghost, you'll never get a response from him.

You can check out Secure Settings plugin (sorry, can't post links yet, but search it) - it is great for a LOT of things including this (its under Custom ROM options)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] u4atharva:
"THANK YOU" ;) :P (For ur thanks meter) :D :P

But, on a serious note, i got the solution for the problem already..

For others out there seeking the solution to the problem, the trick is to unplug and then again plugin the USB cable after you enable the fast charge..

And then in battery stats it should show charging(AC) instead of charging(USB)

:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hichhiker:
Sorry, I missed that this was the issue you were trying to solve. Yeah, when you switch the charging mode, it only takes effect after you next plug in. It will not change your current connection - which can be especially tricky if you reboot while plugged in.

I wanted it to be on by default since I hardly ever use USB for data. I would love to have the ability to have it come up enabled and to disable it, but that does not seem to be how it works - which, I guess, makes sense as you would loose any ability to debug in case of emergency, as in fast charge mode all data communication over USB is off.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] u4atharva:
If you keep the fast charge option enabled, it would always be on by default, (the way YOU need it), and when ever u want to use the USB, turn it off..

There are plenty of apps on google play which support simple toggle between fast charge on/off.. many of them have widgets too.. which makes it more than easy, just a tap away..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hichhiker:
Not entirely true - first of all for this to stay on you have to have Franco's app (or another app that turns it on at boot time) to auto-turn it on on boot - it does NOT keep state across reboots. At the time of the original posting in this thread, the Franco's app did NOT work for this, so you had to manually go into it and turn it off and back on again before it worked - so I automated this via Tasker. Just tested, seems like it is working now (although it takes a while after boot before the setting is applied, Tasker/Secure Settings route is MUCH faster). Secondly, if you boot up with the USB cable in, it will ALWAYS boot into USB mode because of what I said before. (Unplugging it and plugging back in once it is fully booted and fast charge is on, will turn then register it as AC).

But yes, there are a number of other routes and apps to do this.

-HH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] u4atharva:
I said that because mine stays on across reboots..

If your option turns off, Tasker is no doubt the next option..

And regarding booting with USB cable plugged in, i already mentioned in a previous post that you will have to unplug and plug in the USB cable again to enter into fast charge mode with stats as Charging(AC)

how can i have back cover here in my country (philippines) my back cover have plenty of scratches i dont care about nfc.. can someone tell me if theres a store here??
[Nexus S Accessories] mixtapes08:
I dont think we have store in here better buy on amazon or ebay and have it shifted.
[Nexus S Accessories] zhille:
well il give it a shot.. hei dre in your place at qc is there a large community of android users??
[Nexus S Accessories] mixtapes08:
Yeah sgs2 phil community is pretty large bro. They have a created their own thread at sgs2 general forum...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
I dont know if I made the right decision...should I have went with the Epic 4g Touch instead? Or waited for the Evo 4g LTE? I hate making big purchases like this, I always get buyer's remorse :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
You made good choice I am on Verizon so I can't tell you about Sprint's service but 4G should improve a lot for sprint.

I like having it rooted and getting all the updates my friend who has stock is still on 4.0.2 on Verizon he is with me on family plan though hopefully at least sprint does better job =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
What are you regretting? You have a phone that is almost top of the line (Dual instead of Quad core, really not that big of a deal). That will be getting the latest Android releases weeks (Or days) after release compared to months or years. Finally, a phone that will have dev support for it's entire life compared to phones that will only be relevant for maybe a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Why do you have buyers remorse about? Is there something you dont like about the phone before you have received it? The GN is a great phone that most love. If you like custom firmware you cant have a better phone or group of devs than this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
I have a dont reason, I just always second guess myself when I buy a phone. Im coming from an OG Evo and I did the same thing with it but ended up loving it. Ive read so many good things about the epic 4G Touch, I almost went with it but went with the Nexus because its newer...just hoping I made the right decision. Cant wait to get my hands on it and get it rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
This phone out performs the touch. And the evo has broken multitasking. This is a great phone. You really can't go wrong with this phone... seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Why would you choose the SGS2 over the GNex? You're being paranoid. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
Thanks, you guys are definitely helping and easing my mind :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I personally think you made the right choice, remember you have a week with the phone to decide if you like it or if you dont. I bet you will.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
I was also second guessing this or the Evo but here are some reasons I took the gnex over the Evo.

1. NO F'ING removable battery. This is a must if I have to endure using it for at least two years. Batteries degrade and it would be useless a year in.

2. LCD not an amoled. I don't like LCD they don't produce colors like our phone and blacks as well. Regardless of everyone saying its good... they must be blind.

3. Sense 4.0 no explanation needed... sense is retarded.

4. Google support. Although limited (cdma) this phone will still receive faster updates.

5. Rootabliltiy. It was soo easy to root and your not limited. For HTC the only way to unlock is to void warranty and even then... you have to worry about hboot versions. No thanks. You may void warranty by unlocking this phone but you can always relock it nor use an exploit to root without unlocking.

All in all this phone is the obvious choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongostl:
I moved from the gs2 to the nexus, and i couldn't be happier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krayvon:
hi

How's the radio and signal strength compare to nexus s 4g?

I'm tired of having almost no bars most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I went from Sprint and the Epic 4G Touch to Verizon and the Galaxy Nexus. I do not regret either move.

Was the E4GT a good phone. Sure was. Is the Galaxy Nexus a better phone. Sure is. There is nothing to regret about the GNEX and I would not buy a phone today on Sprint that is not LTE.

I am sure Sprint will one day change their data plans and go to tiered data when people switch to LTE phones. If you get in now with unlimited LTE, you should at least be safe until you complete your contract. Then at that point they will either allow you to grandfather it because you already have an LTE device or they can pull what Verizon will be pulling.....

Also, why buy a phone with Wimax when Sprint no longer building it out. What you see is what you get. Nothing improving on that end.

Only other phone I would even look at for comparison is the SGS3. Then it comes down to Pure ICS or Touchwiz. Either way, you will still end up with a great phone.

One thing I can say with owning a GNEX is I don't feel the need to purchase every new phone announced which is a big thing compared to every other phone I have owned. There is something about owning a Nexus device that makes you not care what other phones have.....Really cannot explain it but you need to own one to understand.

Only thing I wished was the GNEX had the camera from the SGS2. Then this thing would be perfect but, in this world nothing is perfect so you need to settle to the closest thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
You won't regret it. I switched from the Sprint E4GT to the VZW GNex and haven't regretted either move at all. Like eman3316 said, I have not wanted to rush out and buy every new phone on the market since owning the GNex, which is something I can't say for any other device I've owned including the Nexus S. I always wanted the next better phone to come out, but I no longer spend unnecessary money on unnecessary phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
I don't understand people on this thread at all. Yes I definitely love my Nexus but I'd much rather have the EvoLTE. I'll give you some reasons why you shouldn't have gotten the Nexus and maybe you can rethink.

1. AMOLED screen. Amazing right? Eh...not anymore. I've had two replacements, the first of which had awful banding and a purple tint at low brightness. Also, the image of the status bar and keyboard were permanently burnt into the screen. While the screen is sharp, it definitely can't best the new Evo due to its full RBG matrix. The colors are uneven and look "dirty" at low brightness. A post on the first page said that color reproduction was better?? Nope, more saturated but not better. AMOLED used to be touted as power efficient but with this huge screen it is the opposite. These reasons are why the EvoLTE wins the screen comparison.

2. Camera...not much to say here. The camera on this thing absolutely blows. My girlfriends OG Evo takes better shots. I think the camera on the 4S still has a slight advantage over any other Android handset but the EvoLTE is right up there and could probably be improved with new software releases.

3. While the CPU/GPU combo isn't by any means slow, the S4 is faster by a mile and is more power efficient. It handles the 720p resolution like a champ. Whenever I go back to stock 4.0.2 my Gnex definitely has hiccups and lags compared to my current setup.

4. Due to CDMA licensing, Samsung has crappy software for CDMA radios. Everyone talks about how a new software update or radio will help but it never does. Its no use, Samsung just has crappy radio support. If you like dropped connections and fluctuating signal then the Gnex is for you.

Now I seem to hate the Gnex huh? Not really. I'm just simply stating the truth and that I believe the new Evo is a better investment. If the Gnex was $99 that would be a different story. Quick software updates can be nice but I'm on Verizon so I don't know what that's like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcowboys2184:
Whoa... Did you just say OGevo camera is better? ... Your comment is now irrelevant and should be erased.. Lol ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MichaelMcEntire:
Agreed. I love this camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcyouknow:
I switched from the Evo 3D to the VZW GNex...at first I wasn't sure if I really wanted to switch from Sprint...but once I got onto the LTE network...those doubts QUICKLY went away. I thought about getting the Sprint GNex...but the loss of 4G for an extended period of time didn't sit well with me, especially since Sprint's 3G network practically sucks.

I can see that being the only drawback of getting it on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
1. This amoled... needs tweaking... when the rgb and gama are tweaked in ROMS it is perfect... i have perfected it anyways... :p i do agree this amoled is off. But that LCD is crap... i dont like blacklit things... my LCD tv has two giant burn ins so it doesnt just happen to amoleds.

2.This camera is f'ing amazing.. your f'ing blind... go check out the post pictures from your gnex thread... your jaw will drop. The og evo... no just no...

3. UM what? Duh what do you expect... this phone is not built for preformance it is meant for openess... having a closed architecture processor such as the S4 is pointless just wait... it will be 6 months before that thing sees the light of day of the next android version. Where it will be sitting on our front door when it comes out.

4. I dont agree... this is all on location... if you live in a place that is known for crappy service then yes it will drop more than other phones. If you live in a place with "normal" signal then you have nothing to worry about.

The gnex is the better phone all around... the HTC is for the fanboys of HTC not us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I definitely understand what you coming from the evo LTE is a good looking device but sense kills it for me plus having own evos in the past besides group they take like 8 months to release the new updat and ain't detailing with that anymore plus stock ICS is the best OS yet for android and jellybean will be game changer and unless you wanted 6-8 months later go for the evo the camera in this phone is just right I take pics only for sharing on Facebook to my family and there good enough sure is not the best but look at the pluses on this phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lifanus:
Thank god u didn't, I waited for ICS for almost half year and still no updates. Finally grabbed the nexus. Can't stand touchwiz. Now its a much better and pure experience. Also epic 4g touch's GPS sucks ass often can't lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
Yes, I did, because it is. The sensor in this phone completely blows. I've taken pictures side by side with my Fascinate and it's a little bit better in low light but there is tons of digital noise. Not sure what phone you're using cause this camera is god awful. Here's a quick shot I just took...makes me want to barf...cookies anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
1. You obviously don't know anything about the LCD display on the EvoLTE. It's sharper, has better viewing angles, has better color reproduction, is brighter, has a faster response time, LCD in general doesn't get burn in as easily or persistently.

2. LOL you don't know anything about cameras either I suppose. The quality of this camera is that of something released in 2010 with horrible HDR and unnecessary compression. Low light performance is absolutely awful and makes me sick. If this camera is "Good" then the new sense in the One X series is "Out of this world".

3. I didn't say it was a bad SoC. The S4 is just faster and makes for a better overall UI and user experience. It also draws less power and will probably be more friendly with LTE.

4. Neh, every Samsung phone I've seen besides the GSM variants have bipolar signal reception. This is a known an ongoing issue with CDMA Samsung devices. Motorola (Due to their vast celluar IP) tend to have the best and most stable signal of any cellular device (Google bought them for a reason). All 3 Gnex's I've had jump from 1x to 3G to 4G constantly and I can't keep a solid signal even if I have a high dBM value. My Fascinate did the same thing. One of my managers has a Razr Maxx and he keeps a good solid 4G signal when mine is going crazy.

What you, and other that defend the Gnex so harshly need to do is realize that the Gnex isn't the best device. It may excel in some areas that others falter but it's is far from being the best device available. Updates really are the only thing it has over others. And hell I've been waiting for accessories for the LTE model that apparently are never going to be released. When I read this thread it sounds like a bunch of iFanboys defending the iPhone and it saddens me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
You're going to have first hand access to new versions of Android AND a brand new (unpopulated) LTE network. I can't even fathom the speeds you're going to get for the first few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
The EVO LTE has its pluses the LCD is to.be better then amoled on it and the built in radio on the soc is nice. However updates will take longer which is a downside. But I got my gf the s2 and she switched to the gnex and enjoys it a ton better and the radio signals are better on the gnex at least from what we saw.especially WiFi. You did the right choice I think and you will love the phone I for myself will be getting the LTE cause of some of the extra perks and because of when my upgrade rolls around however I have thought of putting it off as well.

Edit plus the EVO LTE is held up.for god knows how long lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
3. Have you even used the EVO LTE? How can you make claims that the overall UI and user experience will be better? Some how HTC has always been able to ruin the fluidity of a device with Sense so I have reason to believe the EVO LTE will be no different. I am basing my opinion on HTC's past, what are you basing it on? I have owned almost all of HTC's devices from the EVO 3D down to all their Window's Mobile phones. I did not know what fluid was until I owned a E4GT. Made me realize how crappy HTC's software really is.

4.If you cannot keep a 4G signal in a stron area there is obviously something wrong with your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
This invalidates your whole argument. Just because you have a crap gnex doesn't mean we do too. If you can't stand up for your own phone then destroy it now and get the Evo you so highly praise and get out of these forums. Your presences sickens me.

This phone > pile of crap > HTC Evo.

The Evo is the better phone on paper... but the gnex is the better phone in hand.

For the record the iPhone isn't a bad phone at all, its smooth as butter. But its OS sucks "fill in the blank."

HTC Sense= heavy as hell = low perfomance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
Regardless of all the previous comments at the end of the day you will be as happy as a little girl at a Justin Beiber concert :/ I had the S2 LTE. Got it in November. Actually chose it over the Nexus (for the first time. had a nexus one and nexus s). While the phone was good I was waiting and waiting for ics. I flashed every broken ass ics rom there was and just got fed up. It still doesnt have it yet. I got my gnex a month ago and it kills every other phone hands down. Sure the camera on my gs2 was better and I can quote specs left and right but that doesnt mean a thing. Android + Nexus = perfect. The phone was made for android and you can feel it. Cant explain it. Everything from the softkeys to the smoothness of the hardware. Even the nexus s feels better than 99% of phones on the market still. Also if you are here on xda that means you want support. Well guess what go take a look in the dev section. Dont even think about your decision. It was the right one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
No, you shouldn't regret it man. I just bought the GSM one and I'm in Android heaven. The E4GT is nice, but that big screen with such low res is a turn off. And I love HTC, but I'm tired of dealing with SOff, SOn, hboot, etc. Nexus just works and is easy to root and all that. Plus... Us Nexus users already have first dibs on Jelly Bean. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
Just wanted to update...I got my phone a couple days ago, rooted and running the black ice rom with the red theme...you guys were right this phone is amazing and I dont regret my choice at all. Comparing it to my evo is like night and day. The only problem Ive had really is poor battery life...I thought my evo was bad but this is even worse. To be fair though, I never gave it a chance with the stock rom. I charged it to 100%, cleared the battery stats and its still draining really fast with minimal use. I tried flashing the samurai kernel but it boot loops on me every time. May go back to stock to see if that improves it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Battery life got better for me since I got it but maybe is cause I'm running black ice (hot plug setting ) and I would recommend you getting an extra battery for it I was gonna give up the phone but I couldn't cause is too good besides battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chyrio:
Dude seriously regardless of specs this phone is the fastest purely because it has pure Google enough said I mean this is the smoothest phone ever made right now rivaling the iPhone in stability and smoothness. Usually I'm always like "o ya that phone is sweet but I am going to need to root it and install a custom from to make it fast cause of stupid touchwiz and sense and stuff" but The only reason I rooted my nexus was because I wanted 2 screens not 5 it is already as fast as cm9 stock. Its perfect in every way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
How weird I don't see how our kernel would boot loop you. Have you redownloaded? I ran samurai with black ice when I was on it. And my brother is still running samurai with the latest black ice rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
I reflashed and all is well now. I think I may have forgot to wipe cache/dalvik the first time :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Lol alright. I get great life. You might want to change the governor to on demand. For some reason interactive is a battery hog. Other than that its a solid kernel. 15hrs total 5hrs of display. Over Wi-Fi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
My wife left sprint w the gs2 and I added her on verizon w the nexus. The only gripe she has is the camera isn't as good in all lighting. Love the zero shutter tho. She is fairly picky and for her to rock the nexus makes me happy. No more telling me how she can't pull up Facebook or get mms or use navigation...thanks to sprints lack luster coverage of my area.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dw96:
Hey guys - I have a few quick questions:

I currently have a T8585 HD2 with Android 2.2 + HTC Sense on it. Viber doesn't work on it, sadly, and Android with Sense takes WAY too much of my NAND memory.

If I install WP7 or WP Mango can I:

1) Use viber non-problematically and make calls though HSDPA (3.5G)?

2) Install viber without actually registering my HD2 in order to use the marketplace?

3) (This isn't really related, but) Assign the green call key to something different from the camera (maybe disable it)?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
2. yes you can... deploying (installing) xap file to phone but without Live ID your contacts not be synced and saved to Live account

3. yes... many ROM's already have tools for changing key bindings or install LEO Advanced xap with this tools
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dw96:
Viber?

And what about Viber? I'm sure there has to be SOMEONE on this forum who has tried it out...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] clio94:
Viber for now is in beta and doesnt support calls but only messages
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dw96:
Oh... thanks for that... I didn't really know it. I guess I'll still check out WP7 for the fun of it, but I'm probably going to make my primary OS Android 4.
