Unfortunately... no :( Glass + LCD + Digitizer is all one piece on this phone, i thought the same. It's strange, samsung will fix the screen and pay shipping both ways for 160. The cheapest I can find to buy just the part is almost $200. I would be dumb to not go for the samsung deal.

I think I'm going to call samsung back tomorrow and send it off and then I guess in about two weeks I'll be officially on a gnex ;) Then let the xda way of life begin.

New screen is $200-300

Get the samsung replacement for $160 :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
If I was buying today I would absolutely buy the Nexus again based solely off of Dev support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] se1zure31:
I think you should fix the screen and enjoy it. $160 seems like a great price to get all of that work done correctly including shipping. Just keep an eye on the phones for the next 6 months, especially the next Nexus line. You could always sell the nexus for some pocket cash if you decide to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdec529:
I would have to agree with the majority. Def fix the screen and enjoy the abundance of awesome dev support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamathrasher:
well thanks everyone for their help, I decided to pull the trigger this morning and called samsung back. They are shipping me the packaging material and I should have an almost brand new nexus coming back to me in a few weeks.

No more charge woot woot :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
No charge? What made them waive the $160?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the current phone he has is the samsun charge, not that he didnt get charged anything.

Well, congrats! Enjoy your phone once you get it back! Then, you can look for the new Nexii coming around November. :)

HAHA! Now I feel dumb

Try buying a second hand nexus for $170. It's basically impossible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xodium:
Also, keep in mind you're essentially paying what you would pay for the GNex on contract, without signing a contract. So you're still getting a hell of a deal, even with that screen repair.

So you have a phone that will work for a long while, without having signed a contract, for cheaper than it would have cost to sign a contract. Great deal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennylava:
I have a samsung captivate that is giving me wifi problems. Well, I have ATT and they call it the galaxy S. The model is SGH-I897. I used samsung's Kies mini program, to update the phone from 2.2 Froyo to 2.3.5 Gingerbread. My root didn't transfer so I re-rooted the phone. All fine so far. Then I noticed that my wifi wouldn't turn on. It will try, but it will never actually turn on. It will turn on and scan for networks, then promptly shut itself off.

I started poking around and under mac address, it says "unavailable". Hmm, getting a little closer to the problem. But I can not see any way to enter a new mac address. And it gives no error message as to what might be wrong. Im in the USA, and my:

KERNAL VERSION is 2.6.35.7-i897UCKF1-CL273832.

BASEBAND VERSION is i897UCKK4

BUILD NUMBER: GINGERBREAD.UCKK4

FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.3.5

But I guess all that would really only be useful if I somehow flashed the wrong firmware, right? Well seeing as how I used samsung's official update program and it recognized exactly what my phone was, that seems doubtful to me. But I guess you never know. Any idea what could be causing this problem? The wife has the exact same phone and I did all the exact same stuff and its having the same problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I've noticed that most apps take about 3 to 5 seconds to get data from my SGS (stock German ICS through PLY).

Watching closely, I see the following:

Phone shows 3G with down arrow and up arrow both in grey.

I open Twitter, I look for a post with a pic that will load automatically.

I open the post.

Twitter looks online for pic.

Up arrow lights up green.

Blinks several times for a couple of secs.

Down arrow lights up a few times as well.

3G turns into H and quickly turns into H+.

Less than a second after H+, the image loads.

This happens EVERY time.

Is there a way to force my SGN stay in 3G or to stay in H? I don't see the need for my phone to look for the best network every single session, specially when the phone is downloading a 5KB picture.

I admit; I do I feel a little entitled that I can't wait for FIVE WHOLE SECONDS to load an image? As CK Louis says; Give it a minute, it's going to space!

Anyway, any suggestions? It's annyoing.

You must be aokp AOSP rom to choose all the network selection mode
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superpupz:
I have the exact same issue, if you had the GB built you can *#301279# and force H to be off so all connection is only 3G.

It's option 2 if I am not wrong and select one of them to be off all the time.

Do you find that sometimes you cannot even get data on 3G, that is the issue I have as it's constantly switching on and off.

This is frustration at it's best as I am now in ICS but you can no longer *#301279#

Do anyone have the solution??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
Yeah, just tried the code and my ICS replies "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".

Can I assume that "connection problem" might implicate my carrier, while "invalid MMI code" means ICS no longer supports this code?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
my APN does not require passwords

So I tried a minor tweaks and I seem to have shaved off a couple of seconds;

So going into SGN's ICS settings menu;

Settings > Wireless and Network, More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

I see the two APNs Telcel has for mobile phones.

I changed the option in "Authentication Mode" from "PAP" to "none" because

I know this APN does not require a user or password

. (I wouldn't recommend this unless you know your carrier allows this too).

It seems part of the delay is the phone waiting for a validation of the login.

I'm down to about a second, second and a half before data is being accessed.

Works well, but my MP4 video 5.1 sound files have a horrible crackling noise when it gets to loud parts. Decreasing volume doesn't help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Ack double post! Just wanted to update on my progress:

Mobo player - won't open video for some reason, says it "can't open /mnt/sdcard/extsd........" error. Doesn't seem to be codec/decoder related as it does it regardless

MX Player - Works only in software mode, regardless of which decoder I use the video switched to "SW (FAST)" mode and shows HW as unavailable

Dice Player - Like I said above works GREAAAT except for popping/crackling audio. Software decoding works with audio but makes the video horrible and slow and laggy.

[EDIT]

RockPlayer Lite - Will not play the video file

VPlayer - Crackling audio, slow video playback even with codec/decoder

[EDIT 2]

Dolphin Player - Will not play the video file

[EDIT 3]

QQ Player - Will not play the video file
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Shameful triple-post thread BUMP :(

Desperate for a video player with HW acceleration that decodes 5.1 AAC without terrible crackling noise.

Other alternative is to re-encode all videos but that is waaaay too much work, and is only a last resort.

Must be something in the encode it doesn't like. Stock player should play mp4 just fine, dunno how it handles 5.1.

[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Since the OP from the Faulty thread isnt around and theres already too many issues lost in the forums i thought on gathering all the issues/fixes in one spot to help people out in a quicker way.

I will be listing all the issues/annoyances and their respective fixes in this thread but i need your help since i cant find all of them and your feedback about the fixes.

Once someone reports a new issue, if needed/requested, i will start a poll to see how many people are experiencing the issue to help out detecting a faulty device from a real general issue.

Issues:

Lag time in getting to home screen after pressing home button.

WiFi slow or with constant connection drops/errors.

Annoyances:

When adding any app as a accessibility service (e.g. Lightflow), the Touchwiz Launcher will start telling you where you are right now, e.g. "Homescreen 3 of 5", "Opening folder".

Waking up the phone isn't always instant.

No USB storage mode, only MTP or PTP. You can't use the phone while transferring files.

Boot animations use Samsung's proprietary QMG format --> no custom boot animations for now

While you're in a call, sometimes you can't use your mobile data connection. Wifi works though.

Attaching headset/earphones shows various audio applications that can be launched in the notification area. These apps cannot be customized.

The accuweather widget has a maximum refresh time of one hour. Setting it to anything less than that is not possible. Also, it doesn't always update the current location.

- Couldnt drop more than two apps (one after the other) in to an app draw folders

Thanks in advance for helping

Special thanks to member68 for reporting most of the annoyances above listed.​

[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
Weird...

I use Lightflow (with accessibility service enable) and I do not have this issue...
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Hmm would be nice if member68 could join us to see if it could be caused by something else.
[Galaxy S III General] Shadamehr:
The "Talking Touchwiz" issue afflicts me too now that i have installed Lightflow...

BUT... it's not that easy to prove - as it seems to depend on what you are doing at the time, such as Double tapping the home key to start S-Voice etc - it might kick in and 'talk to you', sometimes it doesn't. It did it many times for me at first, but its not done it this past week.

To the OP...

Just to add to your comments...

"Remove Lightflow" as an Accesibility service would remove it's use altogehter. Removing "Talkback" as an Accessibility Service did nothing to stop the problem for me. Even though you have this marked as a "FIXED" item.

They don't equate to my expectations of what a Fix is alas *lol*

And in similar terms, the wi-fi issues "fix"... Firstly, as we do not know what affect this will have on battery drain (I mean I'm sure Power Saver Mode is there for very good reason), then again, I certainly don't see this as a FIX either... A workaround perhaps, but if so, one with all it's own issues at that.

Notwithstanding, that today, when I ran a Speedtest and again found my connection to be dire, I looked in the Service Menu, and I too, as posted elsewhere, had found that Power Saver Mode was back ON again, and it had not remembered my settings.

So if I have to do this regularly, then its far easier for me just to turn wi-fi off, then back on, which seems to fix my issues every time anyway, but without any Battery Drain, or fiddling with secret (and dangerous) Service Menu settings instead.

Please don't think me having a go at yourself...

It's just that you seem too quick to take something as being a "Fix", just to perhaps seem like you have all the answers...

Please believe us - our ire is not with you, it is with Samsung, to whom we hope a fix will soon be coming for these, and the many other little minor issues in the current firmware, like forgetting all settings, brightness, etc.

So don't worry (yet). Just list any issues, and we'll berate Samsung for a proper fix, not yourself in any way.

:-)
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Yeah i understand, should be more of a workaround than a fix indeed, need to redefine maybe the words used, all the info in this thread was taken from threads around the general forum but since i dont have my SGS3 im kinda going blind here, that why i need everyones help to make this thread decent :)

Thanks for your support
[Galaxy S III General] davidsteele1975:
I'm grateful that I don't have the Wifi issue but I don't take comfort in the fact that every new handset that's been announced to fanfare has had issues that have made me think along the lines of, "seriously, who tested this?"

That said, in my day job, people call in to see me with one or another issue and their device has a common problem that we'll talk about in XDA, but the customer don't see it as a problem, just as something that they deal with day in, day out. Or it goes into the box of, "doesn't work, don't really care." I love being a perfectionist. ;)

In regards to the TalkBack issue, I tried the following scenarios:

No accessibility services: Silence

Adding Tasker: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations

Removing Tasker: Silence

Adding Lighflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations

Removing Lightflow: Silence

Adding Tasker and Lightflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations

Removing Tasker: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations

Readding Tasker and removing Lightflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations

Removing both: Silence

Adding TalkBack: Phone tells me where I am at all times

Removing TalkBack: Silence

Could this be a common issue of Lightflow and Tasker? Can anyone test some other app that needs to be added as an accessibility service?
[Galaxy S III General] Isadora:
The dev of Missed It! (which needs to be added as an accessibility service) has suggested making sure that both Talkback and Install Web Scripts are set to off in the Accessibility settings. I'm *still* waiting for my blue S3 so can't confirm whether this works or not with other apps but someone might want to try :)

TalkBack is set to off, web scripts are not allowed. The problem is still there.

Hi,

How could i flash Custom ROM with Odin..

Because

1. I am not able to go into recovery mode by holding Volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons

2. I could not reboot into recovery mode using adb commands (stuck at at&t screen)

3. I could not reboot into recovery by flashing any kernel with CWM.. obviously i have to use volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons again :-(

I am able to flash stock ROM through ODIN 1 click downloader (currently on I897UCKI2)..and its the only way i could flash a ROM now..

So is there a way to install custom rom through ODIN ?

Please help...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you can get into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB), you can try flashing a ROM via Heimdall. Apex 12.5 has a package you can flash from Heimdall.

You can also try Mosaic 9, as that has an Odin-based installer package.

What should i do please please please help.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOOR111:
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

applies to all recoveries

Surenda 1863,

I had exactly the same problem and it took me almost one week of fiiddling and searching the Web to solve it.

The solution was in front me since day ONE : install ODIN on the PC !

In my case, I had I had accidentally wiped out the stock ROM and the tablet was hopelessly frozen on the download mode. I couldn't turn it off to boot it back with any of the usual buttons ( Volume , Home, Power)

I made the wrong assumption that since my PC didn't see the tablet, it couldn't connect to Odin either . I was wrong!

Here is what you have to do:

1. Install Odin on your PC. Connect the tablet to it. You will see that Odin sees the tablet because there will be a caption saying "added" on the top left.

2. Press the AP tab button at the right to go to the location where your Stock ROM is. The stock ROM file will have an MD5 ending.

3 Once the file is loaded (next to the AP button) just press Start. You will see the DOWNLOAD bar gradually filling up on the tablet and at the top left of ODIN.

4. When the operation is terminated, you will see a caption " PASSED" at the top left of he Odin screen and the tablet will automatically boot up to the HOME screen.

As simple as this! I didn't even have to worry about flashing the TWRP ( or CWR) recovery system, probably because the OS ROM was already wiped out. May be your case is different. I only know that in my case it worked like a charm.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
This could have been already covered elsewhere so if so, I apologize. VPN is a tough thing to search for being so short.

Anyways, trying to setup VPN access to my work network via my Atrix (HP Touchpad running AOKP too). I am new to the whole VPN thing, but as far as I can tell we are using IPSec, I access via cisco vpn client from my work laptop.

Running Nottachtrix 1.3.1, from the native VPN setting under wireless I cannot generate a connection. On my touchpad booting in webOS, I am able (I think) to connect to the VPN and enter all the parameters I have:

Address ##.###.###.###

group access name

group access code

domain

my personal login username and password

It says I am connected on the touchpad in webOS, but there is no field for group access name or access code in the android VPN settings. Is there a 3rd party client software I should use? Is this unsupported at this time?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woll0040:
This should be pretty straight forward if simple ipsec PSK (preshared key), you should just need the server name and preshared key (vpn password, not user password) to connect. when connecting, it should ask for your user credentials, which should map you to access groups (either locally on vpn device or LDAP mapping through RADIUS). Unfortunately there isn't nearly enough info to properly diagnose.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woll0040:
Although, if you are required to enter group info, you will likely need another client such as cisco.
