[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magickly:
My laptop totally recognizes my sister's stock fascinate, but stopped recognizing my fascinate after a similar low battery / bootloop situation.

I had much success using a totally different computer to flash with odin or heimdall. I had to try 3 diff pcs until i hit paydirt.

To this day, the two laptops I used all the time for my fascinate no longer recognize it, yet other pcs recognize & odin fine. Likely other programs interfering with USB. Either way, way easier to borrow someone's pc, than to try & troubleshoot what is up with the usb connection.

At least you can get into download mode. That's half the battle right there.

Try another pc or possibly heimdall & good luck :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
It comes with 4.0.2 that is wrong for a sealed package from what I know, and the bootloader is open, what do you think guys? also the battery was in the device, it still had the GALAXY NEXUS screen protector, and back door protector.

I very like the device, but does the earpiece speaker suppose to have such bad quality? I mean it like a little buzz in it, not that the music speaker is any better :crying:..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
I would say if the bootloader is unlocked & the battery was in, that's not a brand new unopened / unused device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid316:
This
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelowend:
The ear buds that come with the package are horrendous. Definitely get better quality ones. A no EQ G.Music with Skull Candy ear buds sounds fantastic.

Where did you get your Nexus from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hazerd:
Flash a New Kernel ( franco ) , will speed up a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
But it defiantly a new device, I always remember the smell of opening a new phone, and again the box was sealed with the Samsung sticker, maybe it was repackaged only, as it comes with EU charger, here in Israel most shops sell it with US/UK charger, possible? I mean maybe they buy a stock, then buy a stock of EU chargers, and repackage them with a new sticker? also why 4.0.2?..anyway it in another town, so I will not go there just to replace it, also I got a new extended battery, so I don't care, when a new NEX out, I will sold mine as used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They don't ship with unlocked bootloaders. Dead giveaway of non-new device. Also the battery never ships in the phone already.

Some people have reported getting refurbished units with unlocked bootladers, but I haven't heard of anyone getting one like that on a brand new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
It for sure not refurbished, all accessories are sealed, only the battery was in the device, also in the package where the battery suppose to sit, the little tab was flush, so it was never been there, anyway as I said, it in another town, I got 12 moth warranty, and anyway if something go bad, than not with software, for me it will be easier to sell it on eBay, and not pay for fix :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Regardless, it's not sealed new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shahkam:
Atleast it saves you some trouble you have an unlocked bootloader lol...

Swyped From My Sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plbelanger:
Not new that is for sure. You'd never get a new device with unlocked bootloader. Did you pay full price?

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Accessories can easily be resealed or even taken from other boxes. Also the battery would never be in a _new_ device. I mean as long as everything works I wouldn't make a big deal out of it but I hope you didn't pay full price for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
Well now that bootloader is unlocked u can root and so on. Also my gsm version came with 4.0.2. And so did my boys after having it for 2 hours got the update to 4.0.4. Besides who cares you will flash a new rom anyways if u are on xda:) most are based on 4.0.4. And it is weird how u got it with battery in phone and unlocked already. Hey if it works great don't worry bout it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colts187:
you can probably buy those stickers for the outside of the box to make it look "sealed"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irizwan:
Yay! for pre-unlocked bootloaders :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
That's really interesting because you never consented to the agreement form when you unlock your boot loader... I wonder what that'll do to warranty and such (especially if you were on Verizon or something...) lol especially if something from unlocking your boot loader messes up your phone (i.e. flashing a custom rom).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
where do u bought it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
What's your guys thoughts?

OK so I am eligible for an upgrade and if you guys like your phone now and you wouldn't buy any other phone if you could. I will order this Tuesday or Wednesday. Just want any last thoughts before I order?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Yeah. Be excited for the pure google experience and the first phone to get Android 4.1!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
This is not brand new. It's used/refurbished device. Return it. Bootloader is never unlocked. Accessories are easy to replace. So accept it or return it.

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Sounds like someone carefully re-packaged it (after using) and it was re-sold to you as a new unit.

Return that sucka.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
I have seen some phones get shipped with the bootloader unlocked even Motorola phones. Like the Razr. And some phones do ship with the battery installed already. You can see some unboxings on YouTube like that. And for it to be on 4.0.2 it just means is an older model. They don't open it just to update the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
So you would take this over the EVO, SGS3, and LG Viper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
Doesn't sound like it's NEW. But if it seems to work ok depending on how much you paid for it, you may want to consider keeping it. I'm always paranoid of what condition my things will arrive in. Dead pixels, broken screens, stuff like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
Trying to play Devil's Advocate.

It's *possible* that a reseller wanted to verify that it worked, tested it with a quick startup, then put it all back in the box, but forgot to take out the battery. It's possible, but not terribly likely. It's actually dangerous to ship something with a Li-ion installed.

As far as the unlocked bootloader goes, that alone almost completely negates the possibility of my first paragraph. Someone had to hook it up to a computer to do that. There's no way not to.

If you paid $250 or less, though, I'd still call it a good deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
YouTube unboxings are very rarely actually first unboxings on camera. Most have clearly been opened and used first in those videos lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
The screen has no finger markers at all under the GALAXY NEXUS screen protector, it also smells like new, but I think it really was only repackaged to add the EU plug charger, the Samsung sticker glued over another a more little sticker, and the one under looked like it was torn in the middle :p, what I not get is, why it shipped with 4.0.2? as for the price, it was not cheap at all, 500+$, but you talking about Israel, and there many problems to cellphone shops to sell it for original price, anyway at least I know I will use it for 1-2 years.

BTW, what do you think about the call quality? not that my old SE K800 any better, but I thought it should me more quality then what is it, and the music speaker suck like any other galaxy range LOL, but I don't really care, as I need it only to ring.

Also, what Made by Samsung mean? Korea? China? other place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
The shop I bought it from has a very good reputation, and good comments in compare to other shops in Tel Aviv, they actually got that new stock at last week, so I did'n think twice, and bought it, also I do think that if possible to buy that Samsung stickers, but again mostly that shops buy from most cheaper place, that is US now, for 400$ a piece, so then they need to add the EU plug charger, another thing maybe that they opened in the border or what it called, and they check what in the box, remember they buy it from overseas, and Israel is very high about security here, I don't blame my country for that, heh also, do refurbished device can smell "new" ? you can't just replicate that smell, and another thing is that we can't use devices that use 5GHZ for WIFI, that why it not allowed so be sold here, so you can't really know how the hell they shipped to here.

PS, The S3 btw sold with software limitation to use 5GHZ, they just remove the option to chose it (not a problem, a ROM can fix),

but as for GNEX, because the ROM supported only by Google (not sure about not yakju/takju builds), the official distributor can't change it,

also the official distributor is just piece of ****, they translate the TouchWIz crap to Hebrew, and sell them with branded ROM throw local cellphone provider companies, and throw official Samsung brand shop, but not allow to use the ROM on not official shops, so one of the shops here said they will make Hebrew by them self to fix that problem, that the problem with TouchWiz, it need a full translation for Samsung apps and launcher, not like with the stock ICS build that have a built in Hebrew, but not aliened to the right side :silly:, as for me, I use only the keyboard, and English US menu, used to it since the SE X10 I got once from job.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] topnauche:
I updated my AT&T Galaxy S II I-777 last night and everything seems to be working great except for a delay in haptic feedback and general action when pressing the Home button. Anybody else having this issue with the new update, or have any idea why this may be? Possible fixes? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harry_Y:
You have not really provided enough info for people to help you.

You need to provide:

What ROM are you loading.

How you loaded it.

What Version.

etc.

Also I would suggest searching the forums and putting this in the proper thread

for the ROM you are loading (you will get much better help that way).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
But dude she said....she updated her sgs2 last night....so wouldnt u assume she meant the new upgrade? And as far as haptic feedback home, yes there is a slight delay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] topnauche:
I'm a dude. I updated from stock 2.3.6 to stock 4.0.3 via Kies, manually by clicking (tools), (update and restore firware) entering the model number and the serial number putting g the phone in download mode and updating. Every other button is immediately responsive like they all were before the update. Only the home button takes about a half second to respond and to feel the haptic feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DeXel55:
Quickly double press home button. Does it open voice assistant or something? If yes, it has the same problem as 2.3.4 stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harry_Y:
Thank you for the further info.

I am not experiencing what you describe, but I also

updated via the standard update method in Kies.

My phone is a bit snappier over all. The only real item that is slower is the

transition from the home screen to the applications menu and back again.

I'd like to invite you over to This thread, a few of us are running it and someone there may have a better answer.

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erad1:
I also used the standard method of Kies coming from rooted KH7 and process went fine...I am using Apex launcher for more of an ICS look and when disabling the "fly-in" animation the home button response is instant.

Actually it is for unboxing photo, and also just to know I'm not miss any thing from the box, I'm kind of "collector" never threw his junk, and save it just in case..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
No one cares about unvoxing videos where you open the box, cut the tape, etc. They're stupid. This guy is just OCD and needs to save every little thing.

I have a friend when he buys movies, he saves all the stickers and crap on the packaging.

This might be the most bizarre request I've ever seen. Let's say someone pays $20 to ship a plastic bag to Israel - who is gonna watch an unboxing video of a phone a couple months old anyways?

Actually it's like 1-2$ according to USPS :p ,I sell some stuff on eBay, and buy a lot, so I do know the prices. Also it'f for my pleasure, I waited to much time till I finally decided to buy that phone for cash I scrapped from some month now, so just make another unbox video, will not bother people.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
Well, I used to have braces so I can send you a pack of small rubber bands. So if I send the rubber bands, will you send me the empty nexus box?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xuanbao:
Like ppl care about a plastic bag in a unboxing video....

And if you bought your phone with battery inside the phone, means that the seal is broken from the box, and its been open before you bought it. You dont care about a broken seal of your box, but you do care about a plastic bag in your "unboxing video". So go back to where you bought that phone, and get either a new sealed box or your battery bag. XDA is not a market...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I had braces up until I was 21, had them removed about a year ago. I still find packages of those around, number 52's and number 40's. I find packages I stashed around, I also find the rubber bands themselves on the ground, in my car.

But on a more serious note. I need the small black rubberband that came on the headphones, it has to be the original, nothing less. Noone will take my unboxing videos seriously if I make such glaring and blatant mistakes such as not having a true n' blue unboxing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaineevans:
I have the bag. $20 + shipping + PayPal fees.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Thank a lot every buddy, actually some one helped me with it :)

OCD is hard disease :p, btw about the rubber band and headphones LOL,

any Samsung Galaxy device come with a pack of 3 sizes, the Nexus by some way, only with one, not hat I care, as I don't like silicone buds at all, but just know we been scammed :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
I wish, but it's like 1 hour ride to another town, and I don't really care, I still have 12mo guaranty if something go bad, I'm 99.9% sure that it just repackaged, or maybe they bought Samsung stickers LOL to scam people on "new" devices, btw it should have only 1 Samsung sticker on the box? or more? mine has 2, one bigger stacked on a more little one :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
well, I have all the stuff that was in the box. If you're willing to pay for the shipping from Germany PM me.

I've used a few alternatives like perfect keyboard pro etc.. they were close, but just not the same.

I've tried porting the stock samsung keyboard (AxT9IME) but it wont open, someone on XDA posted a so called fixed version for the Galaxy Y, porting it using root explorer and changing permitions etc... I tried this but it would open for a second before crashing.
