[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
If you can get into fastboot and have used the one click root, then cwm must have also been installed so you should be able to boot into recovery and restore the backup you made.

If internal storage has been wiped then you can download the factory image from google and flash it via fastboot. After that re-root, and start from scratch again.

So I tried searching but couldn't find much and figured the people owning the phone would know best. So, Samsung has this thing with plastic, and I've never owned a plastic made phone besides iphone, which got a crack on the back body. Would you say the GNex feels not so durable, plastic-y, like a toy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It feels light for its size. Wouldn't say it feels "cheap" though. Some material snob people will say it feels too plasticky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] consultant.ben:
I too was struck by how light the phone feels.

The only phones I ever thought felt durable were the old Sprint/Nextel PTT ones made for construction personnel, waaay back when. Those had plastic housings.

That being said, my GNex resides in a case whenever I leave the house, so I do not worry about tactile sensations from the housing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The plastic is more durable than the glass in an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
He said he had a plastic iPhone, so I'm assuming 3G/3GS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Yup, but the two most recent iPhones have been almost all glass. The iPhone 3G and 3GS also had a much older and thicker plastic that cracked more easily.

Plastic:

Pros -

Less likely to break

Absorbs impacts

IMO, dissipates heat better

Lighter devices

Newer plastics crack far less easily

Makes construction cheaper

Cons -

Scratches more easily

Gets a lot of flack for 'feeling cheaper'

Glass:

Pros -

Looks 'pretty'

Scratches less easily if high quality glass is used

Cons -

Breaks/cracks very easily

Raises the costs of construction

Metal:

Pros -

Very durable - doesn't crack/break easily

'Look and feel' is good

Oxidized aluminum when scratched continues to oxidize, scratches are hidden

Cons -

Scratches easily, metals like anodized aluminum when scratched reveal the true aluminum coloring underneath and have shiny scratch marks

Interferes with radios (cellular, GPS, WiFi, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShAaShAy:
Thanks for the feedback guys..Yeah I used to own a 3GS, not anymore.

I have a Sensation XE so I'm pretty sure the GNex is going to be way lighter. The only thing sort of holding me back is the screen, the purple tint problem. I noticed many users who recently bought the phone from the Play Store had display problems, and I'm going to get it from the Play Store as well.

Gotta keep my fingers crossed I guess! :p
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morogan:
Hi!

Some guy remote unlocked my P5100 changing some EFS files. Now I've lost 3G conectivity, my IMEI is a generic one adn serial is 00000. I didn't find any good backup to restore. What can I do now? Cand I find those files anywhere? Can somebody send them to me?

I can go back tot the shop but I have 2 roots so is out of warranty

PLS HELP!

PS I've deleted efs directory but it restored , I don't know where were kept

Have you tried to flash a stock rom and it didnt help? well... iI'm werry sorry to tell you that you need to go to a samsung work shop and run the P-5100 in a specific flash program called "IMEI flash". There is no other solution to this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rog1121:
I ordered mine on Friday and on the Delivery day it got banned. I was so ****ing relieved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yup that's what it says. That was quick and makes more sense, lining up more with the "resume sales next week with Android 4.1" statement from a few days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Do we even know the nexus was taken offline because of the Apple thing or simply because they were wanting to start shipping the Nexus with JB? I mean doesn't JB still have the slide to unlock and the info linking and local searches?

Perhaps it was intentional.

I'm really looking forward to the source so we can start customizing this mofo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
The judge was most concerned with the search patent not slide to unlock. Google took the phone off the store because of the injunction and said it would be back next week when they had a software fix (in JB). Now that the injunction was temporarily lifted, Google is offering it for sale again. Of course next week, the injunction could be back in affect again and it isn't clear if the judge will lift the injunction after a software change.

My guess is Google is allowed to ship the devices if they are already sold which may be why it is for sale again even though the injunction is likely to go back into affect next week. So if the injunction goes through, they can still ship the ones they sold. So this may not be a permanent offering the store..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thekillingtree:
i signed up for one but didn't get an email. the jerks. luckily i purchased one locally (from a guy who got it at Google I/O) for the same price. it downloaded the jellybean update 5mins into using my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhgxda:
I was surprised to find mine waiting for me when I got home from work today.

There had been no notification before that, but I find that I do have a shipping notification in my in-basket that came in during my commute home.

I had ordered it July 7.

Just checked, came with 4.0.4 on it.

Update: It's already installing Jelly bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Lol... me too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaliLove310:
My GNexus came shipped with 4.0.4. Right after setting it up I got a System update but it was 4.0.4 again. Why did it get an update it already had? How do I get JB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Go to settings about phone and then system update. You must have a WiFi connection to get the 4.1.1 update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwhitney24:
Lmao I got my nexus several hours ago and just NOW get an email saying it was shipped.

"I am the Bacon Pope"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaliLove310:
I've been trying this ever since it received that 4.0.4 but it keeps saying up to date.

Tried the clearing Frameworks trick and immediately got the update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnMiroki:
Get this:

They just canceled my order made on 3rd cuz somehow they were not able to ship it and obviously my placing a new order "is the fastest way to resolve this issue". 10 days's waiting for what? They will "refund the shipping charges" for my new order.

Kudos, Google!

One thing I noticed is that the back screen flim looks like its been taken off before(not sure if it was for the update cause of the ban) but the bottom seal was not broken. Just a heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gatordpt:
I received mine today and I live in Florida. Also, my phone only updated to 4.0.4. After I cleared frameworks, my phone updated to JB.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
My model number says i9250m from what I've read this is the canadian version has anyone got any info on this? Perhaps its the international version idk on my phone genie app which is powered by gsmarena.com list only a few differences. 1) The release date i9250 was announced in and released in november of 2011 vs. The i9250m announced and released in jan. 2012... 2) the m lacks the 900 HSDPA frequency. 3) Battery life looks to be quite a bit better on the m. 4) the price point of the m is 430 EUR and the i9250 is at 310 EUR

If anyone knows any other differences I would like to know. Also just wondering if everyone else who got their phone from google also received the i9250m.

P.s jellybean is MEAN

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
No issues here.

I have gotten use to doing a thorough test on my devices and I have not found anything as of yet. Radio signals are great. GPS locks to 5m within 10 seconds. Everything is fast and smooth.

:D

The only thing so far that I am surprised by is that there is no volume control separation of ringer and notifications. I typically run my ringer volume low and notifications high. I know that when I ran CM9 on my SGS2 that I could but then I also could on stock ROM as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
That worked, but I'm not seeing any differences. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
Seriously, what am I missing? I'm not seeing any noticeable changes. I did really like the start up screen from version 4.0.4 over the one for 4.1.1. Also the standard email is very lacking on the settings but wasn't that way on the Sensation. I do like the phone a lot but like I said not seeing any differences.

I'm also missing a bunch of contacts that I had on my other phone that should have been sync'd with my Google account.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Are you saying that you are not seeing any changes from 4.04 ---> 4.1.1? Really? There are not a lot of cosmetic changes, the changes are in the back end - and they are awesome! Like butter awesome! Love the new Google Now interface! :D

I am coming from a SGS2 and all of my Google stuff sync'd without issue. Try going into account settings and select your account a manually sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IllusiveDreams:
Google now, isn't installed. Don't see it anywhere. default email seems like the original ICS version I have on my G Tablet but the default email from 4.0.3 that was on my Sensation was way better. Missing contacts and my calendar won't let me add accounts like Facebook and and other emails like I have previously. So no clue. It says I have 4.1.1 now. Everything is checked for syncing.

*shrugs*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Alot of the changes are internal and have to do with speed. I dont think the ui has changed at all but maybe im wrong. Google now isnt an app in your app drawer. When you unlock your phone slide up to the google logo. It should prompt you to activate google now. Also the microphone on your google search widget is a part of google now... I would suggest watching a youtube video on the new features of 4.1... as far as your mail apps go if your coming from the sensation those mail apps were unique to that phone or brand. This is a pure vanilla android experience phone free of all bloatware/manufacturer/carrier specific apps. Also if you want to add contacts from Facebook you need to download the Facebook app. As far as your contacts go sometimes carriers have their own contact managers which could explain why you are missing some of your contacts but not all of them... I know at&t uses their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Check your contacts through Gmail. Maybe they never synced up from ur old phone.

If you use something like Straight Talk they have their own little set of instructions, but it's a 1 minute job.

UPS has made continued cuts over the last few years, and their tracking system has certainly been affected. Whether or not they even move your package at ALL during a weekend is a complete tossup, when in the past they used to ship on Saturday and Sunday (just no deliveries on Sunday). It's totally possible that us who got notifications on Friday could get ours on Monday, and I'm expecting mine for certain on Tuesday.

Okay the UPS site is now recognizing my tracking id. Current status is

You will probably get yours tomorrow or wednesday, i got that message on friday and late friday and over the weekend it showed it was shipped and mine comes today. Hopefully you get it today but i wouldnt get my hopes up, because that message usually means that google has made a shipping label but UPS doesnt have the package yet.

Has anyone come from using an iPhone 4s? The 4s uses a micro-SIM and I heard that you can fit it in the Nexus' SIM card slot as long as you position it right. Is this true? Also, do you need to tell AT&T anything like to switch plans? I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan from my original iPhone and someone I know that's an AT&T manager said I would have to come in and tell them about my switch. I've heard otherwise though.

They will need to remove the Visual Voice mail that the iPhone uses.

Don't try to modify anything - Just go in and get a new sim card. They are provided free of charge. And no - you will not loose your crippled unlimited data plan.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Or you can get a sim card adapter. That way if your next phone uses a micro sim you will not have to get another sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkim3691:
I wasn't planning on "modifying" anything. I have a micro SIM which is smaller than the slot in the Nexus. As long as the parts align and the SIM can be read, I was planning on doing that until my SIM adapter comes in. I'm not sure if it'll be on time the same day my phone will.

Visual voicemail? I heard everything still worked fine if you just swapped SIM cards. I'll have to see for myself tomorrow.
