this thing is running pretty good so far. I've been getting great battery life. Mods are sick. Can't think of anything else to ask for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 47th_Ronin:
OK, I gotta say loved sorcery way back on my ogdroid and as it wasn't available on my last couple of phones I'd almost forgotten just how badassed you guys are at making this ROM.

I'm damn glad I got an sgn and even happier you guys are supporting it.

Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Keekers:
Dumb question right here. I apologize in advance. I really want to try out this ROM but is it mostly for devs? The highly customizable ROM part intrigues and scares me at the same time.

Okay so I'm on this rim now, switched over from BAMF paradigm, and man this thing is awesome. The only thing that's a problem for me now is wallpaper. I can't get one to stick, every so often and between reboots it switches back to the blue live wallpaper or the theme's wallpaper... brainstew?

Kernel

What kernel are yall using? Ive tried a few and cant seem to get good battery life. currently on lean 4.2.... NFC off, GPS on only when needed....wifi used when available...strong 4g signal.... lasts about 7-8 hours w light-reg use and 5-6 heavy... clean flashed rom and fully patched to latest version... or is this expected batt life? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthony92170:
i am using stock and get about 15-20hrs and 2-3 hrs on screen. The thing you want to look at is on screen time if you can do 2+ hrs that's good. If you are using the phone a lot and battery last like you say then check your on screen. If it's way less than that 2hrs you have something draining battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blindmessiah:
Thanks for that. My screen timeout is lowest possible. And auto brightness checked... I guess a full reflash may fix it. I'll go back to stock and try again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lockett:
Not sure if this is ROM related or something else but yesterday my phone would say its charging while it was off the charger. It would switch between charging and not, causing my screen to come on every time it said it was charging. I rebooted the phone and even relived my old BB days and did a battery pull and its still doing it. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PARick:
Mine did the same thing. Fortunately it was under warranty and had to be returned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
It's the USB port. Gets bent easily and sometimes goes out prematurely on gnex. If it's bent, you can try straightening it. If it's still under warranty, or you have insurance, you can replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
What ever happened with the 5.2 beanpicker?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpen:
Mine has been doing the same thing for months. Luckily most ROMs include an option to not have the screen turn on when charging. You can also turn off the low battery pop ups. So it isn't really a big concern to me anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lockett:
That's what I figured. The port doesn't look bent to me but I'll probably just make a warranty claim or use this as another reason to upgrade and keep this is a play phone. It just seems like its taking a big toll on my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnnyb15613:

Anybody wanna help with screenshots give a holler
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
I don't seem to be able to receive them either.

Clean install of JDQ39-4.2.2_r1. I just bought the phone and haven't played with the stock ROM. Flashed JBSourcery right away and love it, until this morning when my wife informed me that I was ignoring her messages (MMS). I then discovered I can't send them either.

Edit- I see a later post suggesting this is a wifi issue??? I'm hoping to flash this to PagePlus shortly (still lots of research to do for that) and I will need to cutback significantly on my data usage. I will need to be on wifi most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
There's a known issue with MMS when you're connected to Wi-Fi. You shouldn't have any problem over the mobile network -- give it a try. I've read a few snippets on this, and I believe it may have been identified as an issue upline in the code -- not sure about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
Thanks. Like I said, I just got the phone so pardon my noobness - is this an issue with all ROMs or just this one? I edited my post to including that I am hoping to move to Page+ with a very limited data plan and will need to be on wifi almost constantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdevaughn:
All roms. So strange that some are able to do it while others have issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
Fantastic. I'm one of the "lucky" ones...

Does it seem like certain phones will always have problems? Or is it even more intermittent than that? I'm wondering if I could re-flash and it work fine, or if it would appear that it will never work for me while connected to wifi?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 93fuelslut:
How accurate is goo manager when the app tells me this ROM has an update ?

Is it always a version behind or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I've read conflicting posts about this. Some suggest that the official MMS apps will only transmit MMS messages over the mobile networks, as opposed to WiFi, due to the carrier's desire to have customers use their billable messages. I've seen at least one post that illustrates a piece of code in the MMS apk with a suggested change, claiming that the change will allow MMS messages to be sent over WiFi.

Still other posts suggest that MMS messages can ONLY be transmitted over the mobile networks - but that the software mistakenly prevents transmission over the carrier networks if WiFi is turned on.These posts explain that, although the MMS won't be sent over WiFi, the phone SHOULD still send the MMS over the carrier network even though WiFi is turned on. The software mod is supposed to address this.

Finally - some of the posts suggest that if we're willing to edit / modify the APN settings on our phones, they will successfully transmit the MMS messages.

I haven't found a consistent treatment of the subject yet, and really don't know what the definitive answer is. I'd like to see something a bit more convincing before I attempt changes on my phone...but I really would like to see this work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilichjl:
I'm sure this is almost certainly a conflict with an app i'm using, but I can't tell which! I've been having an issue where i'm not getting sms or mms notifcations. Every other notification comes through as it should. Those two things I get nothing, not a vibrate, not a sound, nothing. Has anyone else run into this and been able to narrow down what is causing the issue? Anything is appreciated greatly! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boomerbsg:
MMS's never send over WiFi on VZW, the device/software should enable cellular data long enough to send/receive the MMS over the network data (often times without the icon reflecting it, but just watch the data arrows)

My Rezound would send and receive just fine while WiFi was enabled, but it wasnt doing it over Wifi itself. Its often a misconception. But sadly its just the nature of the beast. Google will reflect that by searching for "<insert device name> MMS over wifi"

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
This is why I am not a T-mobile customer. I live in an area that does not have T-Mo coverage so I am roaming on AT&Ts network. I could not send or receive MMS messages while testing their service as it was cellular data traffic and I didn't have coverage.

I am thinking this might be a problem with an app... I preformed a fresh, clean JBSourcery install yesterday and everything worked great so I proceeded to finish setting up my phone. At some point last night I realized that I could no longer send or receive MMS messages while connected to my wifi network even though it had worked fine earlier.

Anyone know how to figure out which apps were installed last so I can try to work backwards to get the MMS messages flowing again?

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

On my Droid X I had a similar problem that ended up being a problem with the Battery Doctor app. I think there was a setting in there that was disabling vibrations. I ended up removing the app as I didn't feel like it did much for me anyway. Had me stumped for a few days though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I've been digging into this same problem. Took a logcat, and it seems that when WiFi is on, the MMS app attempts to route the message through Verizon's messaging web portal, mms.vtext.com -- but there's some condition that appears to screw up DNS resolution under some circumstances, so the MMS app can no longer find vtext.coml, and therefore the message never goes out since the connection cannot be completed.

I'm continuing to search for answers, and have also shared what I've found so far with eagle -- hoping he'll have some thoughts on this as well.

Need to change APN for static IP

Our company uses static IPs on our phones. When I installed this rom, I found data wouldn't work. I called VZW and had them change my phone to dynamic and it's fine, but I'm going to start having to access my email from my phone more so having the static IP back would be great. One of our employees with stock Spectrum 2 have data issues after the 4.1.2 update and VZW manually changed his APN to MW01.VZWSTATIC. Now my phone does not have the option to change APN like the Spectrum 2 does. Anyone know how I can change the APN please??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Since 4.2.2 there's no longer a menu (that I'm aware of, at least) to help you edit this - but you can get to the apns-conf.xml file in /system/etc if you are rooted and have a root capable file explorer (SO many good ones out there - ES (EStrong's), FX, File Explorer, etc. Once in these, you'll likely have to change a setting to allow you to see the protected folders and files -- and if you want to modify one, you'll need to mount read/write, as the default is typically read only access (the file managers typically let you do this too).

If you don't know what I'm describing, it would be best to have someone familiar with this stuff help you out. If you get it wrong, and don't have a good file backup to restore, there's a chance you'll render your phone unusable - at least until you wipe / reflash it. Root access combined with read/write is the 007 of phone access -- a license to kill...

If you feel good about this, find the file apns file I mention above, make a copy before you touch it, and then you can experiment with different apn's.

For some reason today, when I try to open YouTube, it says unfortunately blah blah blah and closes it and it also says unfortunately blah blah blah Google play services. Any ideas? I haven't added any apps or anything in a couple of weeks. And never had this problem before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
No problem with Youtube here... Even though you haven't made any explicit changes, data can get corrupted (rare, but happens), app interactions that only occur under rare circumstances may happen and create an unusual error condition -- and if you've allowed Play store to update apps, all sorts of things could be different today than 2 weeks ago.

When I run into something like what you describe, some of the ways I try to address it might includes:

- reboot

- clear app cache (youtube, Google Play Store, Google Play Services) -- and also possibly clear data on these as well

- boot to recovery, and wipe dalvik cache and/or Cache, and possibly Fix Permissions while there (a bit time consuming, but no risk)

Some combination of the above steps usually takes care of most routine issues. Also: what GApps are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:

About the wifi Mms issue, I guess people have forgotten the 3g days. On my incredible 2 I could watch wifi switch to mobile network briefly to send Mms. Then it would switch back. This is what people are talking about when they say it doesn't actually send over wifi. The phone is supposed to handle that on its own but does not do it or at least not consistently.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
What's really dopey about the WiFi / MMS issue, at least on Verizon, is that their MMS web gateway, vtext.com, allows users to send MMS messages, billed to their VzW account, via the web portal, and I believe mms.vtext.com is one of their apns also (I think). They also have their Verizon Messages app that allows you to send / receive SMS and MMS on a pure WiFi tablet. It works perfectly and is the same app / UI as on the phone (except for differences between tablet and phone UI). Incredibly fast and works perfectly. Verizon is totally set up and ready to allow this from a phone -- purely over WiFi as they do with the app on the tablet -- and still keep track of it as a picture message. There's really no reason at all that this shouldn't work on a GNex using the same app...but it does NOT work the same. Something about the phone configuration is blocking what the app is normally able to do on a pure wifi device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
You provided great information, most of it Greek to me :P

My suggestions would be to try clearing cache and data on the gallery app, and if that fails to fix it, re-flash gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
Do you have said tablet MMS app? I would like to try an experiment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Yup... Verizon Messaging. Installed on my N10 and my gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
I have not been able to figure out a sequence that works every time, but I can usually get MMS to work by some combination of disabling/enabling LTE, rebooting, and disabling/enabling wifi. Eventually it seems to start working again, but I have not been able to figure out what triggers it to start working as it should.

This also seems to be an issue with my wife's GNex that is stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iowabowtech:
Fwiw, I was having trouble sending MMS as well. Loaded mod at Sourcery Tools > Mods > ALT inverted MMS app and haven't had an issue since. Zero hung messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Does this work when you're connected to WiFi? The scuttlebut is that MMS will never send OVER WiFi, but that ideal behavior is that the phone will momentarily switch from data over WiFi to data over CDMA/LTE when an MMS must be sent, and then switch back to WiFi once the MMS is sent.

The original justification for this, from a carrier perspective, is that they want to have you route MMS over their network so they can track your activity and charge you appropriately. What's dopey about this, under current circumstances, is that Verizon Wireless has an app and service that make use of their web portal - vtext.com, and mms.vtext.com - to send messages over the Internet, and it can bill customers appropriately. It's completely possible for them to track MMS the same way when you're using a smartphone connected to WiFi data. At some point, this will be straightened out, but at the moment it seems that the carriers are playing dumb about this, most likely because they haven't quite figured out yet how to incorporate the change in their service models and billing model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iowabowtech:
Yes. That version works for me while on WiFi. If its using the switcheroo trick, I'm not seeing it. Either way, MMS is sending while WiFi is toggled on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Excellent! Now you've really got my interest... Pity though -- I LOVE the theming capabilities of the included MMS from the Baked ROM... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
Looked good at first... I have sent MMS messages to myself from the following configurations (in the order listed) and most were successful (failures noted):

LTE (No wifi)

3G (No wifi)

wifi (LTE disabled)

wifi (LTE enabled)

Rebooted phone, wifi (LTE enabled)

Disabled wifi (LTE enabled)

Re-enabled wifi (LTE enabled)

Disabled wifi (LTE enabled)

Re-enabled wifi (LTE enabled) - FAILED TO SEND

Disabled wifi (LTE enabled)

Re-enabled wifi (LTE enabled) - FAILED TO SEND

Rebooted phone, wifi (LTE enabled) - Success again!!

Realize that I have spent way to long on this and move on for the night... ;)

On the first failure, when I re-enabled wifi I had to manually connect to my wireless network, it didn't connect automattically like it had before. I don't know how that would change anything, but that was the only "odd" thing that happened between the successes and failures...

My biggest concern is that I am not receiving all of the messages sent to me. I can tell when mine don't send, but I am not sure if there are messages from others that I have not received.

It still looks exactly the same for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Interesting - thanks for taking the time to start to document the behavior. When you have LTE disabled, do you have still have phone network service enabled? Very possible your phone is sending the MMS via CDMA -- that might explain your 3rd scenario in the list above (wifi on, LTE off).

Re: not being sure that you receive incoming MMS - yes - that's another byproduct of this silly state of affairs. If MMS can only send/rcv via your mobile network, and mobile data is off whenever WiFi data is on (but momentarily switched off when the phone temporarily switches to mobile data to send your MMS), your phone won't know when to switch from wifi data to mobile data in order to learn about incoming MMS messages.

Sad and frustrating state of affairs! Easily addressed if the carriers really cared to...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAreCool:
Yes, I left the "Data Enabled" box checked throughout. I was just switching between the "Network Mode" options to see if there was any correlation between LTE and wifi. Also, I edited my post after I rebooted and had a successful delivery.

I hear you. My Driod X could do it just fine though! I think I might have mentioned this already, but if it were possible to send MMS through wifi I would be a T-Mobile customer right now. They don't have coverage in my area and the data roaming agreement that they have did not let me send or receive MMS. Most of their phones had a wifi app that would let them use wifi for MMS, but that app is not available for the Nexus 4...
