[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
The Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass but it does have tempered glass (Gorilla Glass is simply a brand of tempered glass made by Corning) which is scratch-resistant. The problem is it is coated with an anti-fingerprint coating which scratches more easily, so if you treat your phone like you say you do you probably want to get a protector.

Also I have dropped my phone from waist-height to hard floor more times than I care to admit and it's still fine. Obviously it depends on the angle of the drop as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Okay, thanks.

I'll just order a screen protector and case alongside the phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sloprest:
1. If you plan on carrying the phone in your pocket with keys then get a protector. I had 2 quaters in my pocket by accident and have 3 very very fine scratches on my screen, nothing noticable but still I would not chance it. Same goes for sand, Im pretty sure I got a scratch from that too.

2. The phone is very hard to brick. I accidently loaded a recovery image of 4.0.4 from JB and forgot I had a JB kernel loaded and got stuck in bootloop. Battery pull, reboot into recovery, flash the correct rom/kernel, boot and profit. Ive learned to not keep conflicting recovery versions on the phone and also keep the current rom/kernel zip files on the phone just in case I need to do a full wipe and reflash.

3. This I am not sure of.

4. Kernels will most definately make a difference for this phone over stock. My battery life jumped from 15 to 20 hours to 22 to 1day 15hrs. Its all about matching the kernel to the rom and usage habits. I have been trying a new one each week and keeping track of my battery drain.

5. The camera is really just fine. For me I am getting used to the constant auto focus but picture quality is good (if people want to take good pictures they should get a real camera with optical zoom instead of complaning abut their phone, a decent camera is not that expensive) Video is also fantastic, my last phone took surprising good pictures for a non smart phone but video quality was hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Okay, thanks for your input!

One more question.

If, for example, I want to claim warranty.

How hard is it to return the phone to completely stock. (As it was when it arrived, stock recovery, locked bootloader, that type of stuff)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
As easy as it is to root.

Post 1 covers rooting

Post 3 of my guide details this...and just about every "brick" situation you can think of.

You literally download the files from google:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Enter a few commands...

Followed by "fastboot oem lock"

And you're golden.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
So, does fastboot oem lock completely remove all traces?

Because I know that in another phone, when you re-lock your bootloader it still shows it was re-locked.

Also, I like this sub-forum :)

It's very friendly.

I'll probably like it here. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
You're probably thinking of a flash counter?

The GNex doesn't have one.

And even if that isn't what you're thinking of...it removes all traces.

If Verizon users can return their phones for a warranty exchange with this method, anyone can. Verizon is the anti-root.

*Proof of concept*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
I was actually thinking of newer HTC phones, when you re-lock it, it will still show Relocked in the bootloader.

That's it I guess...

Thanks for all your help everyone!

I'll be seeing you again soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
You're in for a good time, I promise =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
I'd recommend getting both. You can find screen protectors ranging from $3-$10 or so on amazon. Cases as little as $3 from somewhere in Hong Kong.

There are many recommendations under the Accessories section.

I see you're not in the USA. I would recommend that you call the local Samsung repair place and just ask them what the policy is.

There can be. Some mods and tweaks for example can't be installed or won't work with stock Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Okay, sorry if bumping this topic is against the rules, but just came here to say, that according to a local service center, any Samsung phone bought in the EU can be serviced in any Samsung service center in the EU as long as you have the warranty papers or receipt with the phone's IMEI number.

Just ran system tune in my phone and it had one processor offline.. I've tried like all the uclf6 roms and they all ran laggy.... I used system tune to bring the one processor back on but why would it start offline???... Any sudgestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
I am running Milestone 6 . And to see what you were talking about I downloaded system tuner and low and behold mine says that CPU01 (or something) is offline. And then it would bounce to 384mhz and then offline again. That's weird. But just wanted to show that you're not the only one but that's kinda the only way I can help you. Best of luck :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tx Redneck:
As means of reducing battery consumption, it'll kill off and re-enable the second core as needed for the load.

Saved and Texan by the Grace of God, Redneck by choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Don't worry, it's working. The core is turned off and on depending on the load.

The best way to confirm this is to run Linpack for Android. If you run the single threaded and the multithreaded tested, you'll see almost double the score in the multithreaded version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trexc832:
Thnx for the replys just wanted to know if i was the only one... I forced it to keep both on the phone ran super smooth for like half a day but battery life sucked. ... Took it back offline to let android control it. ...

-i want to ROOT it and flash resurrection remix ROM 2.6

-so ill be flashing cwm recovery via stock recovery(my stock recovery is gone forever i assume)

-after that ill backup the EFS folder using ktool(any other safe way to backup EFS (using windows OS only)?)

-NEXT UP ill flash the ROM (and siyah kernel which is included in the ROM package itself)

-SINCE SAMSUNG IS TESTING JELLY BEAN FOR GALAXY S2 (found on sammobile)

-i might wanna get back everything to stock to use kies for updating to jellybean if they release it ..

-i mean EVERYTHING(THE OFFICIAL ICS ROM,ITS STOCK KERNEL AND STOCK RECOVERY)!! AND REMOVE THE ROOT ALSO

-HOW DO I DO THAT ? (IS THERE ANY WAY WITHOUT USING ODIN BECAUSE USB JIGS DONT WORK ON ICS BOOTLOADERS)

-WILL THE BASEBAND GET CHANGED WHEN I FLASH NEW ROM?(CURRENT:I9100DDLPA)??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
Your stock recovery will come back when you flash back a Samsung ROM. Here's what to do, make life easy. Flash the phone with Siyah Kernel (you'll gain root and CWM) then through CWM flash the ROM you want.

Back up the efs folder with kTool or EFS Pro and keep a copy elsewhere off the phone. Do this before you flash.

I have a couple of apps, specifically FIFA 12, that would be perfect on the Nexus 7 but they won't install. They will not show from the store at all and after sideloading it tells me the "app is not authorized for this device"

Is there any way to work around this ?

Funny, I side loaded Fifa and had no problems with it. BBC iPlayer side loads as well.

Use something like titanium backup, then open up with backup in a file manager that supports unzipping and extract the apk.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenad163:
Hi all, first of all i want to mention that i have researched and read everything i can about Defy unlocking and still have some questions which bother me because the Defy+ comes with ginger as def OS.

I want to get a Defy+ (which is carrier locked and i don't know the exact operator it is from) that should run on a modified CM7.2 or maybe some other ROM at time as 2init. Most of the tutorials are for Defy(non +) and CM 7.1/Froyo.

The questions that bother me are:

1. Will the method for softunlocking work on Defy+

2. Will it work on any other

CM BASED

ROM like 7.2 official/MIUI/Pikachu/etc, and must i have a certain SBF(full)

3. Is the soft unlocking method bound to certain radio version and will it work in Europe?

Here are the links i find the most simple:

http://translate.google.rs/translat....motofan.ru/index.php?showtopic=1728077&st=80

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447950

I know the tutorials are relatively clear but it means allot to get confirmation from people that have done this as i can buy the defy onlu once :).

Thx in advance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonardoJegigzem:
1. Yes, the method for rooting, and installing 2nd init is the same in the Defy+, the 2nd init 2.0 works fine on Defy+.

2. The only important thing when flashing a ROM is over which kernels is the ROM based, for the Defy+ you must use the GB kernel version of the ROMs, you can't use a kernel with a lower BL version than the one your SBF has.

3. Each ROM has a Baseband switcher where you can set the Radio frecuency.

Any doubt, just ask.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenad163:
Ok ,thx for the info.

One more question, will the soft unlock work on ANY CM7.2(GB based) ROM? And will it work on CM9/10 later on?(If u know) :)

[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
I am having trouble understanding the delay with an official JB update given Asus did build the Nexus 7. I am sure Asus is ready to roll on this as soon they get the green light from Google.
[Transformer TF300T General] turdbogls:
What do you mean

..this OTA doesn't go through Google. Asus pushes the update. I am sure they are in a good spot with the tf300 and the prime since the hardware is nearly identical to the N7.

The only thing they might be waiting on from Google is the go ahead so they don't beat them to JB on their flagship 10” tablet the xoom
[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
That was exactly what I was referring too. Make sure Google is satisfied with their priority devices' (nexus branded) upgrades and their agreed upon lead period. Of course Asus controls the technical side of the equation.
[Transformer TF300T General] dmora01:
I don't want Jelly Bean bc I want to keep flash player but I know the JB is a lot faster than Ice cream.
[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
Huh? Isn't flash capability browser specific? Firefox Beta supports flash.
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
Google is dropping Flash support starting with 4.1, to force content delivery shift to html5.

I think the OTA will come faster than, say a Verizon phone. Since there's no cell carrier involved, the release should come faster than when an update has to be bloated with carrier crap and be subjected to carrier testing.
[Transformer TF300T General] WIIstpM:
No in fact it's Adobe who's dropping Google. They said it in a statement. I think it's on their webpage... So JB doesn't have Flash? :S
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
don't worry, most sites use html5 and you can still sideload the flash apk, then use firefox or boat browser or whatever browser except Chrome then you'll be able to watch flash videos.

i'd use Chrome as my default browser but firefox to watch flash videos, kinda annoying but i don't usually watch flash videos so it's not a problem for me,

jelly bean is not just smoother but it also has google new voice search, google now,... so i don't think you should keep ics with you.
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
I think Adobe is about to drop Flash completely. They already discontinued Linux and OSX support (then reinstated Linux support, but I think they may have discontinued it again; I haven't cared enough to follow up), and now Android is gone. I realize that Windows is the dominant OS and still has Flash support, but the number of people with Linux, OSX, Android, and iOS adds up, and everyone is moving to HTML5 anyway. I think Flash will be completely unsupported by Adobe within 18 months (maybe 12 if the Internet is lucky), and about a year after that, the last Flash website will be converted to HTML5 or some new, better standard.
[Transformer TF300T General] 3ddyz:
Installed JB on my phone the day it was released and I still have flash.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Flashify is a good app for when you're In chrome and want to switch to another browser for flash
[Transformer TF300T General] turdbogls:
same here. and I use chrome exclusively on phone and tablet.

i could see this beeing a huge deal a year ago...but most sites have moved onto HTML5. pretty much any site i visit now with an embedded video works just like it did in the past with FLASH. but seeing as how i only use chrome, and it does not support flash, evrything (for me at least) works just fine without FLASH.

and in the rare case i cannot watch the embedded video, i can usually get the video to open in another app (the gallery and MX video can stream online videos) or tapping the "youtube" logo in the bottom right corner of youtube videos will open the video in the youtube app.

its not a big deal any more. Jellybeans pro's outweigh the "negative" of the lack of FLASH. i for one cannot wait to get it.

[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
Technically, root could void your warranty but it is reversible and therefore there is no way for the vendor to discover the device was ever rooted if properly reversed.

Unlocking on the other hand requires Asus' unlock tool which logs your device and results in a voided warrantee in which your action can easily be proven.
[Transformer TF300T General] Reilly1812:
unless every post in the TF201 and TF300 forums is wrong then yes I am sure.

Still Charged Up
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
Ehh, I dunno about that. If root didn't void warranty, then it would come with root access. Besides, phones with locked bootloaders are voided once rooted, so why would this be any different? Because they allow you to unlock the bootloader?

Phones like the gnex and spectrum are voided upon rooting and have unlocked bootloaders so I don't know you're correct. Tell ya what, I'll read the warranty and report back.

*Edit*

People should read the warranty card before making claims like this.

So you may be able to get a replacement if you don't mention the rooting and they may not care/notice if you send them a rooted unit, but rooting most certainly DOES void the warranty and the agreement.
[Transformer TF300T General] 3ddyz:
When people say that rooting doesn't void the warranty, they mean that you can un-root easily so Asus will never know. That's all. Of course, if you're stupid enough to RMA a rooted device then that's a different matter.
[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
Thank you for clarifying. I thought my post above was self explanatory.
[Transformer TF300T General] beepea206:
It doesn't leave a trace on the device like on some other devices? I forget the device (maybe one of my old Droids), but I recall one of the devs saying rooting left a trace on the device so even if it was unrooted, they could tell; the only way to avoid that was to SBF (factory image) the device.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
If I send my broken tablet in to Asus, what'll they do with it?
[Transformer TF300T General] WIIstpM:
They'll check if you are rooted or unlocked bootloader, if possible, then if not they'll get it repaired IF you have warranty.
