Manufacture date?

What's the manufacture date of the phones being delivered now? It's listed all the way right of the serial number underneath the battery as YY.MM.

I got mine before they went out of stock and it's 12.02 with a purple-tinted screen. Replacement from Samsung is also 12.02 with a similar screen.

Curious if they only went out of stock due to supply and if the new ones are a newer batch. Much thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Mine says 12.02 - My screen looks great though

:D

Only reason that I brought it up was this past Christmas when I upgraded my wife from an iPhone - I got her a new sim but they messed up her voicemail so they had to reset it. It may be a non-issue. May have been fine if I had gotten a sim adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] REDFOCZ:
Well my Nexus showed up today, ordered it last week. it as a 02/12 build date as well. Not even 10 minutes after turning the phone on did it upgrade from ICS to jellybean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gotokyo:
Just received my gnex!!

I know batteries are supposed to be charge to full when they are first used. But seeing how this phone doesn't have a led charging notification. Can I keep the phone on while its charging to max?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Been spamming f5 on the ups site but still out for delivery.

To the above user who is coming from an iPhone. Yes you will need to call ur carrier to get switched off of iPhone visual voicemail. That is something specific to iPhones. You'll need to get switched to regular VM. You van use something like Google voice to get visual VM on android.

Had to do so when I switched from original iPhone to captivate and from iPhone 4 to GS2.

But who gets phone calls these days anywaise

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkim3691:
No....visual voicemail? Srsly?

Ugh, the things I'm giving up to ditch iOS's archaic system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Haha yeah not by default but if you forward ur VM to Google voice and download the Google Voice app ull get visual VM and an email or text with it transcribed. However poorly sometimes.

It nice actually

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
You will lose your voicemail that was on the iPhone. But if you go through the voicemail setup (you may need to reset your pin by using their automated system), voicemail will work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkuzFoz:
They say that as a precaution, they don't want someone firing it up to find the battery dying in the middle of an OTA or something. I highly doubt the battery is below 80%, you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Got my Nexus today and its amazing. Even just ICS was faster smoother than my custom rom'd gs2. Then I upgraded to JB and its even smoother. The keyboard is really smooth too. Very iOS like. Which is a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Damn lucky guy! :D

Btw, how's the screen? Any graininess or purple tint problem?? Try to lower the brightness and check..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
I'm pretty sure all the galaxy nexus phones have that problem. You can only notice it when you turn the brightness settings down low but I can verify that the ones shipping still have this problem... at least mine does. I never set my brightness settings that low anyway though... I only did it to check for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Just for clarification, how low are we talking?

And when the brightness isn't low, then do the colors appear as they should or can you still make out that the display is abnormal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
at the lowest settings possible... when the brightness is any higher than like 10% then its perfectly fine. All the colors are normal its just a problem when you get all the way to the bottom which goes alot dimmer than most phones ive had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Ohh that's good enough I guess.. I just hope mine is fine :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Well I flashed a new kernel which has changed the gamma. I checked the thread in q&a and the verticals and horizontal angles are exceptional. However there may be a bit of graininess. Will flash a different kernel and check it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vkamicht:
Got mine from Play store yesterday, has ICS out of the box and no option to update OTA so I unlocked/rooted/flashed (was planning all that anyway) -- the purple issue is there, but as an above poster said it's really only noticeable at lowest brightness (and when the screen auto dims after 15 seconds). It seems only the darkest shade of grey takes on a purple tint so it's just a gamma issue, a custom kernel with color settings will most likely solve it but I'm not at that point yet. I looked through photos at normal brightness level and they seemed fine. This is better than my last one which, even at brightness between 50-100, had a purple band at the top of settings menus where the gradient transitioned to black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Awesome! :)

Yeah that's my biggest fear cuz I saw many users over the Web with major tint issues. If I get the same issue I won't be able to replace since I'm in another country..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkuzFoz:
My E4GT also has these problems at low brightness, I think it's just an OLED thing. I think it's being accepted because TVs and PC monitors won't be that dim, and both are farther away so you won't notice graininess. The blacks will be so black you'll ignore it anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flathead031:
I ordered my Galaxy Nexus over the weekend and waiting anxiously for it:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vashishtuday:
Has anyone living in LA ordered this phone yet ?

Whats the total with Shipping and taxes ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
True for the TVs and monitors, but don't you think it's different altogether in case of phones? Just a thought..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flathead031:
I'm in LA and my total was $390.04. Tax is 30 bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkuzFoz:
I dunno, I know it's a legitimate issue but I think some number of people are just being obsessive and picky. That is reasonable behavior due to the price and importance of the device, don't get me wrong. I personally just don't lower my brightness to that level because I simply haven't had any battery problems as SAMOLED uses so little power and admittedly I typically use my phone for about 1 hour per day.

I just am not sure it's a major issue that should ccause Samsung to need to change the production process. Maybe they already have but our phones weren't produced recently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Hmmm I really can't say about the battery and all since the GNex is going to be my first amoled display..

But was this issue present when the phone first came out? If it wasn't, that means production is being carried out a bit differently as compared to before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
390 here in NY too! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squashpile:
Ordered mine on the 15th. I'm still waiting on shipment email.

$388 total
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antfitts:
i ordered mine on the 12th and still no shipping email...i called google play and i guess there having shipping issues because everyone is blowing them up asking them the status of there orders, i had to wait on hold for 50 min just to get ahold of them...its weird my account had a pending amount for google for the phone since the 12th but it went away today and it doesnt show any charge at all..so i dont believe it shipped...the google play guy had no info to tell me either other than i still have a existing order...i dunno i think im just getting impatient but the lack of info for my order is very frustrating...anyone order theres on the 12th and have recieved a email or there gnex yet???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoLunchBox_:
Ordered mine the 7th and it came the 12th. Didn't get a confirmation email until I had received it and didn't get charged until today. So just be patient, I'm sure it'll get there but check if they deliver it. You might get it delivered without a confirmation email like mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnMiroki:
Similar situation here: I ordered mine on 3rd and it had been shipped by last friday. So I wrote to them and one of their specialist took initiative and cancelled my order, and asked me to re-place a new order because he said this would be the fastest way to solve the problem (btw, he also mentioned my order was not shipped for some unknown reason and offered to refund the charging fee for my new order). So I placed another order in Friday aftn and my order was shipped today. Maybe you should go down the same road I did. Best of luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infinite76:
Same. I did get charged though. Only status I get is that it is still processing. If I don't hear anything tomorrow, I will escalate

From the Mind of Minolta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
The initial charge was really just an authorization. It probably went away after 72 hours. Usually they would of shipped it before that happened and the real charge would of automatically dropped the initial authorization. Right now they are so slow with sending out shipping notices that you will probably know it is shipped just by looking for the charge to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antfitts:
thank you guys for your quick replies...i will be patient and wait till thursday or friday...if nothing by then then i will re order
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
why do they write the the support number as 1-855-83-NEXUS? what's with the word nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mbarland:
I ordered mine on the 12th and am in a holding pattern. No charge yet, no shipping, still shows as pending on play, etc...

Update: Just got shipping notification for my order. We'll see how long it takes now, but it's more exciting news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spikex:
Hey guys,

im in California but im leaving cali on the 25th august. do you think if i order the phone today it will ship until the 24th or probably not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
You have a month in hand. You should get it before that. I ordered on 12th July and got it yesterday morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spikex:
ah crap, i meant july 25th. next week. sorry for the misunderstanding. so i would need to have it by next tuesday. im just worried cause people seemed to be complaining about a long wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vashishtuday:
Ordered mine on 11th and haven't got anything yet

It's too close for you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnMiroki:
You better call them and find out what's going on/

Ordered mine on 3rd, waited till last Friday and they said there was something wrong causing them not able to ship the order. So they canceled it and asked me to place another order. I did so last Friday and delivery is due today. Yay!!!

you need to look at the keyboard on the mobile phone to get it.

anyway here's number +1-855 836 3987

Received my shipment email last night for an order placed on the 15th :D

Scheduled Delivery: Thursday, 07/19/2012, By End of Day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcar87:
I got the shipment confirmation yesterday morning (about 27 hours ago), and the UPS tracking still says "label has been created", instead of telling me where it is. this thing better arrive here tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andresrsx:
I Just got mine today!!

bought it last Friday, im so happy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str8killinya:
Does anybody else thinks its crazy I ordered a Nexus 7 (16gb) on Friday and I ordered a Galaxy nexus on Saturday got my nexus 7 yesterday but got a email saying galaxy just shipped today. New release faster then phone that's been out awhile lol great system there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flathead031:
Ordered on 7/14 and got shipped email this morning but UPS hasn't been updated. I'm not sure if UPS has the package...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitlgrafx:
wonder when they'll be able to offer the CDMA version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphan203:
Got mines today and I freaking love it. I don't know why I waited so long. I am coming from the Lg G2X and I will never by nothing other than pure Google. I now own both the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7!!!. Yes!:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flathead031:
My UPS tracking # updated and I should be receiving my Galaxy Nexus tomorrow!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ethanhunt123:
nexus is the best phone ive ever owned
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fixyourtech:
Never, cdma phones are carrier locked, therefore you must buy them with contracts through carriers or affiliates.

Gsm unlocked phones are far superior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oby2:
im in the same boat that you are, i ordered it the 11th my google wallet says that google recieved the order and i havent heard a thing since. the transaction was "timed-out" by my bank and ive been trying to get ahold of google all day and all i get is a indefinite hold, tried emailing them too. i know when i purchased it it said 1-2 weeks for delivery but about an hour after that they changed it too "in stock". should i be freaking out yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackviper71:
Ordered mine on the 13th and got it today. Might be worth a shot to contact Google support and inquire about your order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oby2:
thanks, aside from the nexus number and the email is there anyway to live-chat or any other way to reach them cause ive tried almost all day to no avail
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infinite76:
I got my emails earlier today. UPS says it will be delivered tomorrow by EOD. I wonder if location also affects delivery since the phones are shipping from west coast.

From the Mind of Minolta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnMiroki:
Google f**ked it up! Call them when you have one to one and half hours' spare time cuz that's how long it took me waiting and talking to them. Now that my order is shipped and received, it's worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oby2:
i called after i got off of work i think i was on hold for about 2 minutes and i was attended. they said everything was fine with my order, apparently its just retarded and is going to take about an extra week. so i have to wait :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnMiroki:
I had been told that "everything is alright" for almost 2 wks (since July 3rd) until I got an email saying for "some reason" they were not able to ship my order and the fastest way to solve this was for me to place a new order. So they canceled my order and I replaced the order in last Friday. Got it delievered yesterday.

Any processing beyond "two business days" smells fishy to me. Google's logistics system looks pretty unrealiable to me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grym:
Those are letters on phone buttons :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oby2:
Well lol I live somewhere where somtimes getting somethin shipped can be a pain in the ass, so I'll give them the additional week and then ask again. I hate waiting patiently though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcar87:
got mine this morning, i love it! first thing I did after setting up google wallet and getting those $10 was buy a bag of jellybeans at the nearest 711. tap, pin, tap, and done.

it does have the purple thing when the brightness is at the min. it is quite noticeable only in this scenario, not sure if should change it. what bugs me the most is the 'graininess' of grays
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infinite76:
I got mine today. Start to finish 1 week ( 5 business days )

From the Mind of Minolta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squashpile:
Ordered on the 15th

Received the phone a few minutes ago. Put the t-mobile sim in and activated the $30 plan..no issues.

Getting around 7-10mbps down.

Rock on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fuego77:
How bad is the " graininess " on the screen? Is it it too noticeable, or do you have to put the phone two inches away from your face to notice it?

That's the only thing keeping me away from buying this phone, and also the purple tint that everyone is aware of. It can't be that bad can it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squashpile:
The phone is for my wife..lol. She ran out the door with it as soon as I got it working. She is coming from a Virgin Mobile POS flip phone. She is ecstatic.

I have not had time to really check it out yet. It looks VERY nice to me though. I'll mess with brightness and really check it out when she gets home.

Disclaimer: I personally have a company Blackberry. I'm not sure I am qualified to answer. Do own tablet and iPod touch, but that is about it. I have read up on the screen threads/updated kernel and I was worried about that, but I didn't see anything wrong out of the box and setting it up. See some of the complaints and these folks have owned 15 phones in the last 3 years. I think that could make anyone picky. I will definitely check it out though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcar87:
the graininess is not that bad and it's definitely no worse than what the nexus one was (that's the phone im upgrading from). its noticeable on solid grays mostly. and if you're in a completely dark room, you'll notice it more obviously
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
I ordered my second nexus yesterday. Haven't received the shipping mail yet. How long are they taking these days to ship?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Well I ordered mine on Monday night so essentially was ordered on Tuesday.

Received my tracking number today at 12am.

Receive package tomorrow according to UPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roxy:
2 business days to process and another 1 to 2 business days for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rapydax:
I was thinking of buyig thus phone, but i can't buy it in the playstore, as I don't live in the USA. Is it possible that someone buys it in the USA and I let it ship to Europe or is this a dumb idea? I saw that it was around €280 euros($350) in the market, but it's like 100 euros more expensive here :o. That's my motive why I'd rather want one from the playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Only if you trust the dude buying the phone for you 100%. And be prepared for customs, shipping, and insurance costs to europe

For some odd reason I'm tempted to buy one (even though I have the cdma version). I guess I want it in the event I switch carriers for whatever reason. I'm weird like that.

I just purchased one from the Play Store. I'm stoked! Coming from the Nexus S.

What is the ETA for those of you who ordered? I'm thinking of retiring my Sexy Nexy 1 for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshnz:
How can I get my hands on one? I live in Australia so ordering from play store is not an option. Any reliable alternatives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Try walking into a vodafone or telstra shop seriously.Mobicity online if you rather wait 3-5 days than just walking into the store an the galaxy nexus was never banned here or ever will be in australia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaX05:
Its saying 1-2 weeks. Just in line with the official Jelly Bean update.

Beamed from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshnz:
Yeah I've looked at mobicity, but the price is too inflated against the US$ equivalent, bout time aus should be able to order direct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
I ended up buying one this morning. I am hoping it ships this week as well. TMO is sending me a brand new HTC Sensation this week as well. So Ill turn around and sell it to help offset the cost of buying this phone. Im stoked! Cant wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Maybe try ebay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Strange that Amazon dropped price immediately after it was initially on Play store but its still sitting at 430+ since the 349 price drop and with impending problems with being able to sell it.

This phone must be selling remarkably well for that price to remain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galaxy_2012:
How much with taxes and shipping?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
Was $369 and change with shipping and taxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Mine was 380. 10.95 shipping and $20 in taxes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikemoe:
where do you live??which state?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
390 here.. New York!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P1 Wookie:
It was 383 and change for me in SC. Now I just wish they would take my money and ship me my phone, instead of having the 'pending' charge in my bank account teasing me for days. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
Yeah, no kidding. Ship the phone already! Mine was 10 something for taxes here in CO. My new Sensation is out for delivery today. Not sure how long I can keep it before I have to send back my old one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
380 in Florida
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Anyone know where Google actually ships from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
I'm not sure but the reciept says purchased from Mountain View CA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaX05:
Mine was $390 and change here in NY. It was $10.50 shipping & the tax was around $31 bucks.

Has anyone received an email stating that it has been shipped? I'm getting antsy. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hotshot205:
Pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered one, since they not banned anymore. Total came to 394.40
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Somewhere in Kentucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
I ordered from NY too! Someone ordered it for me, to be true :P

The person told me they got an estimated time, 2-3 weeks.. :(

What about you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaX05:
If you check the Play Store, it states "1-2 weeks" (Hoping on sooner) :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
That I'm aware of, but my friend said 2-3 weeks.. If it takes that long, I'll die out! :P

It all depends on Thursday I guess cuz that's when Apple are gonna come rushing again to stand up to Google. Hopefully the courts won't do anything stupid :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Your friend was refering to what it said originally. When it first came back it said 2 to 3 weeks now it says 1-2 so I would assume the latest is the most current. And no matter what happens in court you purchased your phone while the ban was lifted and you will get your phone no matter what. Don't freak out if they put the ban back on bc you will still get your phone within the time promised no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Well maybe but I asked him if it gave him an estimate after check out, he said 2-3 weeks. I sure hope it's here early though.

Yeah I presume that too. But even with Apple there, maybe Google has done enough with their patch to get the phone running again..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Ordered mine last night.... So excited!

My worst fear is that they ban it again and cancel my order :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
There is no way that happens. When you purchased the phone the ban was lifted. If the ban is put back on they will stop taking orders for new purchases. They won't stop shipping ones that have already been sold. The people who got there orders in before the original ban still got their phones shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
They wouldn't cancel your order. The people who ordered before the preliminary ban got their orders delivered, even during the ban. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstoveld:
mine came to $390.96, ordered from NY State

any updates on when this bad boy will ship? i'm getting anxious!

ordered mine sunday night

I also ordered mine Sunday night. They told me they were installing JB on it, he said there was no estimated time. They said by this month though.
