Holy ****, and that's with no contract attached? I opened the link but I didn't read all the way through it.

Someone needs to tell the idiots on craigs list to stop asking more than 350 for their used, potentially screwed over Nexus'.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yep, no contract. It's an amazing phone, it's totally worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I thought the Galaxy Nexus was sold on Tmobile's site, I guess not. Either way, will definitely look into this as my next phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
I should have waited before buying my GNEX....*facepalm*
[T-Mobile LG G2x] plasmamax1:
Won't the Nexus 7 suck for updates because it runs Tegra 3 by Nvidia?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).

thats why i love the pure google nexus phones :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
That's what sold me.... Can't go wrong with a nexus device.... Seriously thinking about the gnex too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] str8killinya:
Pre ordered mine yesterday now just trying to find someone to buy my G2x for $200 so I can order a Galaxy Nexus and be done with driver issues....hopefully lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] plasmamax1:
I hope Google does update it. The Nexus 7 looks nice and I'm gonna try for one at Christmas
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?

I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

Comparison

http://geekaphone.com/compare/Samsung-GALAXY-Nexus-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II

Someone give me an idea as to why the Music features are so bad on the Nexus?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
If you bought it recently, Google is doing $50 refunds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.

I baby my g2x, I have one of the LG branded ones that isn't directly related to a carrier. At my desk, that thing never sits on the direct surface, only on a stack of post-its, haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
so would this be a good nexus phone?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Goo...=Cell_Phones&hash=item20c770a0fa#ht_1262wt_76

and to answer the question, i would be willing to bet it will be eaglesbllod with the first JB rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Awesome, or just get a Galaxy Nexus and get the OTA.

Thats the old Nexus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
I agree...just go with the new nexus...its only 350 for the unlocked one....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
There's something nice about having a phone that isn't branded with a carrier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
well true, but 125 is a little easier on the checkbook :) and if i can sell my g2x for around that price it will be a wash. would that even be worth it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Sell the G2X for $200, put in $150 and get the Gal Nex!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
that could work :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I still have my blocked IMEI G2X, along with my LG branded G2X. I just posted them for sale together for $225 on Craig's List. I put on there that both are rooted and the band IMEI can be unlocked for use with ATT.

I wish I knew how to unlock the G2X, but I haven't been able to find out how to exactly. If I did, there is a used cell phone place in my area that will buy a G2X for like $150 or so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] urfate:
The SDK is out now:victory:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
I think you guys are high if you think we're just going to "get" jellybean, I'm no expert, but I watched the 'project butter' segment that explained how they have revamped the OS to tie vsync to everything. It didn't sound to me like something that was going to be working with patched together drivers.

That's a layperson's interpretation though, I could be wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Which is why I'm gonna jump ship!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] str8killinya:
Agreed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
Well after reading about Jellybean and then reading this forum seeing that the Galaxy Nexus is only $350 i decided to order one. I think its time i get to use all the features of ICS soon to be JB :-)

I figure i can sell my G2X for $150-200 so the Galaxy Nexus will only be $150-200

Thank you to all the work that the developers have done here to bring ICS to the G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Damn, I really wish I had the money to jump ship. -_-

Maybe I'll pick up a T-Mobile Galaxy S III once I get back to the US. I need power >:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
Speaking about the nexus, excuse the dumb question, but is it compatible with T-Mobile's 4g network?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
It will work fine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I get about the same speeds as my G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
I'm definitely getting the galaxy nexus. It will be 388.58 after tax and 2 day shipping. Giving my g2x to my brother. I find it funny that I paid 420 used for this phone the week it came out and I'm buying a much better phone for 388
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Well the nexus is six months old.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
True but it being a Nexus deivce it will last a lot longer then most Android phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
6 months old, yes, but still going very strong, neck and neck with the Galaxy s2....Right now, the Galaxy S2 is arguably the best GSM phone (Tmobile and ATT), Nexus would probably come in second for both carriers.

With the Nexus, I BELIEVE it comes unlocked for either ATT or Tmobile, it says you can use it for both carriers, so I don't know the details.

My G2X has really good speeds, so if the speeds are anything similar, then fine, the data speeds were one of the best features of the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
The s2 is not the best gsm phone... S3, one x better imo
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Arguably being the key word...

Well the S3 just came out, I don't know too much about it, on paper it is better than the S2, sure.

The one X, I keep forgetting about that phone, it runs ICS stock, right? I'm just tired of HTC phones now for some reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Yeah, g2x is a year and 2 months. I'm oonly buying because the price is cheap. Its 350 for brand new off contract. Walk into a T-Mobile store the sensation is still 550 I believe. Whether anyone would buy it or not its still the same
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iArtisan:
Stock ICS? No phone runs stock ICS other than the Galaxy Nexus.

The One X runs a modified Sense ICS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
That's true, what I meant is that the Nexus is still one of the only phones that comes stock with Android 4.0. The One X being the other, actually the One S runs it as well...along with the new Sony Xperia.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
If you buy the GSM/HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store it is:

1. Sim unlocked

2. has the pentaband in it so it gets 3G on ATT, Tmobile USA and most other world 3G bands

3. NFC is not disabled like some usa carrier versions

4. pure stock ics/jb; enough said.

5. price is now down to $350. if you buy unlocked phones, then you know that is a hell of a steal for a pentaband world phone. :)

trust me, the Galaxy Nexus is WAY better than the S2.. does your S2 run Jellybean? that what i thought... :p

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=galaxy_nexus_hspa
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
One x uses HTC sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
I'm thinking they just meant it had 4.0 as the base.

Also, that's what they're arguing up there about.

BY THE WAY: Since there was chatter about the Nexus...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
oh no i hope my order still goes through
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
That's just apple trying to hold down another manufacturer that threatens them.

I think they claimed some kind of patent infringement or some crap against Google. Nothing will be affected.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
I pray that when ICS is released for the O2X we can steal it's video drivers, and they hopefully they would also work with JB! If not, we'd still have a good ICS build though :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:

Hell has saidthat building his AOKP ICS Rom for JB will be easy and he has committed to doing so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Nah buru, its legit. Trust me I saw him build it.

P.S. tarheel, if ur gonna do that, atleast install a jelly belly theme for cm7 instead of cyan bread ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TarHeelTrigger:
Nah... too lazy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
An AOKP ICS Jelly Bean ROM....? That doesn't even make sense. Plus, there's no AOKP even out for JB... So I dunno where Hell would even get the AOKP source for that.

Also, AOKP team has released a statement regarding AOKP JB. They plan on re-writing a lot of the code from ground up for the JB source. So any JB ROM you will see for now won't have any AOKP or CM in it. It will be from pure JB source (when it comes out).

Hardware acceleration isn't even fully working for this phone yet correct? Due to drivers and such. Thus, I have no idea how the Project Butter implementations would even work for the G2x.

Just speculations, but we'll see how things go.

As for people talking about buying the GNex, if you have the money to spare for it I'd do it. You won't regret it. Sold my G2x for only 190$ 2 months ago to buy the GNex, but it was still worth it. I love this phone and only Nexus users can say they flashed a fully working and stable build of JB less than 24 hours after Google announced JB. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motcher41:
I am trying to get my gnex back to full locked stock and cannot get into stock recovery. I have done fastboot installs of it all, the gnex toolkit and even odin restore to a factory image.

Not sure why but when I go to boot into recovery I get the red triangle coming from the and the gut of the android guy. I have googled and tried every method I can find to no avail. Can anyone offer something new?

I have the VZW Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afma_afma:
when u mean "fastboot installs" did you mean u tried installing stock recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motcher41:
I first used the toolkit to restore the 4.0.4 factory image and of course there is not a recovery in the so it didnt go to stock recovery. I then downloaded the stock recovery image and fastboot installed that. no luck. tried the 4.02 image with the stock recovery in it and it says it flashed fine then try to go into recovery the same red triangle. Tried the odin to full stock with recovery and same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaukassus:
I had the same problem just like you. (red triangle on recovery)

This is what I did:

(You need to have a rooted device)

1. rename this file:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p.bak

2. boot into fastboot

execute these commands via fastboot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery <recovery file>

fastboot reboot-bootloader

3. Go into recovery.

As I said, This solution worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motcher41:
I just stumbled across that and was reading it. Thanks I will give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motcher41:
Ok i didnt even have that recovery-from-boot.p file in my system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaukassus:
In my case it was, because The stock recovery overwrote my CWM.

so I had to remove it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motcher41:
same damn triangle

:'(

OMG I feel like a total jackass http://androidforums.com/verizon-ga...-recovery-mode-exclamation-point-android.html

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josuetenista:
I saw that the nexus 7 comes with Chrome as default browser. Does it mean no more flash support?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy2.2:
Fairly sure Chrome supports, if not will support, flash?

If not then the new build of Firefox which is out supports flash :highfive:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
Chrome does not, and will not, support Flash.

I believe other browsers that support Flash should be fine though (for now).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
As long as Adobe supports Jelly Bean, Flash should still work normally in other browsers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
I dint think chrome will be supporting it. just use opera mobile then

Opera mobile the best anyways ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishant_713:
But I remember adobe once saying that ICS will be the last android version to support adobe flash.. Not sure though..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakanagai:
This got me curious, so I spent some time looking around the Nexus 7 webpage. It says that Flash IS supported, just not in Chrome. The note says that you can download Browser from Google Play. Presumably, other browsers with plugin support (Firefox 14) should be compatible as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
It is. Though Jelly Bean isn't that big a jump OS wise, so it shouldn't have broken flash compatibility.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyler0:
Chrome for android does not support flash and according to Adobe, it won't. Apparently you'll be able to download the usual default browser on the play store if you require flash, or an assortment of 3rd party browsers that support flash.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeactivatedProtocolDroid:
I'm not sure if anyone notice...

If you look at the Flash in Play Store, Adobe states that "Flash Player will not be supported in any Android version beyond 4.0.X"

:(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSeanR:
not being supported doesn't necessarily mean it wont work
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qoncept:
Thank god. After all these years, Flash is dead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
Adobe has dropped flash support themselves I believe, which is understandable as flash is indeed on its way out now with many web apps and websites in general turning to HTML5 as more universal coding method. However, whilst Chrome does not support flash, simply installing another browser onto the Nexus should allow you flash support (Skyfire browser I think for one).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BANE:
In my opinion, the stock browser in ICS, especially with quick controls enabled, is the best browser I've ever used. I'm happy to hear it will be available for download, however am indeed worried about getting flash installed on Jellybean. Adobe is not releasing Flash updates past security & fixes. one big thing I love about ICS is the ability to load full net pages, which use flash, at my choosing and would hate to loose this functionality if flash is not compatible with Jellybean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
You are my first boo post....... Booooooooo! There felt good :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
This. Adobe won't fix it, but if it worked on ics it should still work on jelly bean. The next version is probably screwed though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixyourtech:
As stated before Adobe has stated before after ICS no more flash support.

Chrome for android never supported flash to begin with.

Frankly I think flash is a poor user experience on a tablet anyway.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
It's unfortunately true: Chrome on Jelly Bean does not and will not support Flash. Chrome looks amazing otherwise.

The question is:

Will XDA devs be able to bake flash back in? Using a non-flash supporting browser is simply out of the question for me.

Don't get me started on how the rational of dropping flash support no longer applies. Tablets are now quad-core beasts that are supposed to replace laptops and provide the most complete browsing experience. I think Google -like Apple- just wants people to consume its media instead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
Why not just use a market browser that supports flash like Dolphin? :o
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
Sure, there's always 'that' solution, but it also means you miss out on Chrome. Firefo is bloody amazing but you need to re-load every page in Desktop mode, there's now way to make the client desktop from the start.

I want to use Chrome (mostly bec of the sync options with the desktop verison), but I also want to have flash... That's the thing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcracken:
YES---I never found flash to be useful except for viewing ads and a few video services that still haven't switched to HTML5.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
I don't think you'll miss out on Chrome if you only use the Flash enabled browser for specific flash sites like Twitch.tv or whatever. Best of both worlds!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
i've asked some people on Google+ who have the tablet/roms on GNex and they've tested flash with the latest firefox release and it works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerfman100:
I don't get why JB (not to be confused with Justin Bieber XD) has Chrome built-in anyway.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
Just install Opera Mobile and call it a day.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
This way Google only needs to develop 1 unified browser for all OSes instead of a separate one for their phones/tablets.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerfman100:
But the Android Browser will still be on the Market. Besides, Chrome is no more unified than Browser! They both have two UIs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speednub:
“[W]ith Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options,” according to Adobe’s blog post. “There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1.”

Thanks for that helpful post. So Flash should work on the N7 as well, right?

As much as Flash sucks, I rely on it heavily. There are lots of sporting events I just can't watch except through Flash streams. If I can't do this on the N7, it would seriously detract from its usefulness for me.

Quick question for those with new Nexus 7s - is Flash still found in the Google Play Store (until Aug 15 presumably) or did you have to sideload?

I know it currently works on the Galaxy Nexus but since the 7 is preloaded with Jellybean to begin with I didn't know if that'd make a difference.
