My one and only answer.

Buy a new one. If it works, then just extract the data out of it and put it in the computer.

U never know how much the repair will be.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gangrif:
Yea.. if i wanted to spend $700 on it, i'd do that... Point is, i got this thing for free, and if i can get it working for less than $700, i make out in the end.

I'm looking to buy parts and repair this thing myself, for fun, i'm not depending on the thing, i have a working Droid 4 that i use as my cel phone. If i get this thing working for cheap, i may switch to it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sgtpanda:
Not sure if this will help but theres a camera module for sale here and an internal antenna module here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
The nexus is $350 on the play store.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gangrif:
Thanks for taking the time to respond, really, but $350 still is not equal to free.

If i decide i want a nexus so badly that i'd pay even $350, i'll go this route. For now, i'm trying to cobble this one back together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gangrif:
Thanks!

Looks like I got the camera working! I took the phone apart, disconnected the camera module, and reconnected it. Boom! camera works.

I also disconnected a number of other parts while i was in there, not sure if any of them was the cel service module. I did disconnect an antenna, though i think that's for wifi.

Cel service still seems to be no-go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
At the very least if you can't get the mobile network working you'd have a pretty sweet Nexus4.65 that has a camera :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexor:
Sell that thing on ebay for maybe 50-100 bucks and get a new one.

Or go to the market you've bought that and ask how much they want for repair.

umm... 700$? I thought the price for the galaxy nexus is now about 300-400$..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gangrif:
Unbelievable, i think i've fixed it.

Opened it up again, and took a close look at that antenna module. Now that I knew what I was looking for.

Disconencted it, and found that one of the antenna leads had come off.

Connected it, put it back together, put in my sim, IT WORKS!

Gonna use it for a little, see if i find anyting else wrong with it. I think i may have just gotten a free nexus!

And the $700 was an estimate. The guy who gave me this phone, said he paid over 600 for a replacement from verizon after he dunked it.

Ouch.

The GSM model on the google market seems to be $350. This is the verizon model, and apparently they absolutely rape you when you buy one.

My phone got water damage 2 months ago, it didnt work till I opened it up and cleaned every internal part with alcohol and a brush and let it dry then put it back together, everything works perfect ever since. There is a guide on youtube by the way on how to repair a water damaged phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
From what I hear from Americans about Verizon, that's all they do to everyone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gangrif:
So far so good. Ive been using it as my primary phone since i got it working yesterday. Played audio from it in the car last night and this morning. Used my Bluetooth headset with it last night. So far so good.

I want to get a car dock for it, the 3-pin kind. Just hope that 3-pin connector is working. I dont have any way to test that.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] janet7682441:
I found a application called StickMount OTG that allows your device to use OTG function.

With a prerequisite....your device hardware must support OTG.

Since HTC never open OTG function for us, there's no way to know if your device hardware supports OTG or not.

Can somebody give me a answer?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
I do belive there is a kernel with otg support built in thats not available here (and I can't link to it.. Google is your friend on that count) tho I haven't had the opportunity to test it as of yet
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rener78:
I found the rom on a different website am I allowed to share the link here? I read everywhere that people want that feature so I thought I would share, but don't want to have a bad rep and just want to make sure who's blessing I need... Anyways the rom is

AOSP with lots of features, the only thing missing would be the toggles.

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:

[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
Hey,

I have an ICS ROM MIUI v4 and felt that there is no difference between 600 and 806 mhz while running apps. But 600 is much more friendly on the battery. Is it only me or anyone else having this happy problem?
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Of course 600 is more friendly on the battery.......overclocking a phone always reduces the battery life of your phone and could lead to damages to your CPU..........so i would advise you to not overclock the phone..........and BTW overclocking doesnt increase the performance to a great extent
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
600 is "stock", so battery life will always seem better.

Performance-wise, your phone won't work better just by overclocking.

Say for example that you've got 10 apps running in the background, ram left is 2mb, your phone is going to be super-sluggish even at 806mhz.

It's all a question of balancing between background processes, running processes, etc ..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garak0410:
I sent my Transformer Prime in for repair in April to get about 5-6 hot spots repaired. Took over a month and some pressing tech support but I got it back and screen looks great. Over a few weeks, I thought I felt something move inside my prime but decided it was nothing. Well, over the last few weeks, it has gotten worse and there is obviously something moving inside the unit when moving it side to side. This never happened before the repair. I do not like the idea of another month of this being out of my hands.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, either pre or post repair?

Thanks!

Things not moving inside has been removed from the marketing materials. It's an expected feature now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Has your prime been anywhere near an alien birthing chamber recently? :o

Im sorry, but that title instantly made me imagine THAT alien scene.............can you see it moving?......im sorry last one i promiss.

Lame jokes aside, sorry to hear about your situation, i take it you've already tried getting a replacement from wherever you bought it?

Perhaps asus will replace it for you considering the circumstances, good luck either way:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garak0410:
The jokes are great!

I am kind of anal when it comes to my expensive gadgets...could I live with the "moving inside"? Yes but if they didn't fix it right the first time, I want it fixed again....just don't want a long delay again! I did open a support ticket. Awaiting RMA. At least my phone FINALLY got it's ICS update!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] short/y:
I noticed my favorite logcat app wasn't working on my N7 so I went on a search and found a fix/workaround (details later):

pm grant <pkg> android.permission.READ_LOGS

So, to give the donate version of aLogcat (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat.donate), you'd do this

pm grant org.jtb.alogcat.donate android.permission.READ_LOGS

This seems to persist across reboot. Not sure about app update/uninstall/reinstall but it works for me.

Note that "pm" is a standard part of Android (I'm rooted but running stock JB on my N7) so you can just run it from the shell (adb shell) or from the command line via your favorite terminal emulator app like Android Terminal Emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm).

If you're interested in the details, there's a long discussion over in the Android Developers Google Group -- https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-developers/6U4A5irWang

Note: I'm rooted so it may require root to work.

MOD: I've posted this in the Q&A section cuz it's the answer to a question but if it belongs elsewhere (Development? General?) then please move it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poopymt3g:
So I have a play store Gnex running Xenon HD I cant seem to get decent speeds. Coverage is spotty around here in Myrtle Beach, but sitting in the same place in my house with the same number of bars showing yields very different results. Sometimes its up to 5mbps down sometimes its 200k down. What has your experience been with GSM version Gnex and data speed? List off your carrier and location. Ive attached my best speed with T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spoonflames:
Very lucky :)

I'm in the UK and use Virgin Mobile, i don't get anything above 1.8mbit anywhere :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DamienChaos:
Just north of you, here in Wilmington, NC, I average around ~6Mbps down and ~1Mbps up on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. There is always variance, although I'd say the connection is pretty stable. I'm totally happy with the GNex's network performance; although my vision might be a bit clouded as I just jumped ship from Sprint. I was getting a choppy/sporadic 100kbps down and 200kbps up on the best of days with Sprint 3G! My data speeds/reliability on the GNex puts that to shame....even when I'm forced to use T-Mobile's Edge network.

--DC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] looneylu:
+1000

I've really been trying to give sprint a chance, but, this week, I bought a GNex and decided to give the TMo Monthly 4G a try. I haven't canceled my Sprint plan yet, although it's only $90 at this point (contract is almost up!!!). I've been blown away by the data speeds. I just pulled 8.2Mbps down and 2.09Mbps up. This is probably 20x faster than I'm getting with sprint. Safe to say this is a good deal. I'm probably going to cancel Sprint this week and pony up the $90, but I'm also going to have change from the $30 plan on TMo to the $60. I need more than 100 minutes, and the VOIP methods aren't too reliable yet, from what I gather.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Im in NYC. This phone gets the same exact speeds as my sgs2 which is a 42mbps device. Average 10-13 down, and 1 up.

This is the fastest i got with Vodafone UK, at home in Leyton, East London. i would usually get around a constant 6,7,8MB/s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poopymt3g:
Anyone running on AT&T HSPA +?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DamienChaos:
Same situation here. Thankfully, I can get by with the 100mins/mo since additional minutes are only $0.10ea. I've never used 400min/mo, so the $30 plan works for me.

Glad to know T-Mobile works so well in MYR...I go that way pretty regularly, but haven't had a chance to yet since switching over to the GNex. Definitely good to hear! Anything has to be better than Sprint. Their voice coverage and pricing is decent; but I simply cannot handle dial-up speeds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Having a "GSM data speed" thread is kinda pointless. There are so many different carriers, and even extreme variations within carriers, that just make it useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
I am on Straihg Talk AT&T HSPA+. The Att tower is right down the street. I usually get higher than this. But like said above there are a lot of factors at play when it comes to speedtests, so I am not sure how it will relate to your area or carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdxtechdoctor:
if you are only going for the 2GB Tmobile plan for $60, have you considered the Straight Talk $45 BYOD plan with a tmobile sim? should get you the same service for less...

www.straighttalksim.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbgt2:
Here is my random AT&T HSPA+ speeds gotta love the range.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] looneylu:
I'm definitely considering Straight Talk... I just have to gauge how much data I actually use. Coming from Sprint's unlimited, I never worried about it, although at their speeds I couldn't actually do much. i'm in my trial period right now... Straight Talk has made me nervous with their soft data caps. Seems like everyone is confused as to what it is, but I'm definitely going to give it a try once this month is up. I'm going to give them a whirl with both the TMo sim and AT&T sim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Data usage on Straight Talk really depends on your area and how many other ST users there are in that area. I'd say try it out and see how it goes. Worst case scenario is you find out you'll use too much for your area and you gotta go back to T-Mobile. The only "issue" is that ST charges $15 for the SIM (which is also an activation kit effectively), whereas T-Mobile's Monthly 4G SIM + activation kits are like ~$0.99. Gets a little spendy to try out ST AT&T and ST T-Mobile. Worth it if you find out what's best for you though, of course. Just really wish ST would cut you a break on the SIM if you pre-purchase a month of service with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
I'm interested in the HTC One X, and Sony Xperia S, I absolutely hate Sense but I love the Xperia S UI.

My question is how is the performance of the Xperia S with root optimization, etc.

I will probably end up buying this because of the price on Clove: http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-s-white

So yeah advise is appreciated.

And what looks better, White or Black?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Performance is good without any optimization. Less raw power than the OneX, but still very smooth.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
Awesome :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uDroid:
Xperia S has goodlooking, very good performance at ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
Don't go with the HTC One X, it has (like the iFail) problems with the antenna or something.

Although it has more developers, and is more powerful, the Xperia S is cheaper.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rec71:
I have learned the hard way that the only Android device worth buying is the official Nexus device. You get stock Android and the latest updates. It's just less hassle all round IMHO. Sure, there might of been better hardware out in the 8 months since it was launched but at least you'll get an official Jelly Bean update which, if my Nexus 7 tablet is anything to go by, is simply fantastic.

So my advice is to get a Galaxy Nexus! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
I think I'm going with the Xperia S, I'm familiar with Sony devices (I have an Xperia Play) so yeah I intend on buying this from Sony.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonic_boom:
I had my XPERIA S for few months, then i sold because of battery life, lack of roms, developers etc if u compare to other phones.

Then i bought 2nd hand GALAXY S2 and NEXUS S in the same time. I ROOTed and UNLOCKED both phones, overall so disapointed and i was missing a lot XPERIA S :

- camera

- design

- speed

- HD screen

- HDMI out

- ETC

and i actually bought back my SONY XPERIA S from the same guy. Now i dont care about battery and other things just ENJOY my phone !

and at this moment i wouldn't swap it for any other phone !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I love mine, coupled with unlimited data its a great little multimedia device. Here's hoping sky support it soon!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mehdi110z:
One X has better specs overall, but we have some unique features like design, led bar, dedicated camera button. Still if you go for One X because of specs then I would say wait for S3 price to drop.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
Thanks guys, I'm planning to buy a Black Xperia S soon, I don't really care about battery life anyways, as long as it lasts about 5 hours with constant use I don't care.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
Good choice :D

I have an Xperia PLAY too (for now, remember me?)

Keiran
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
yep, Used your Darkforest rom until you stopped supporting it, and the kernel :P, So yeah I remember you more than most other developers at that section, I've had a good ride with the Xperia Play, but now I have the money spare to get a new device (£400, would need to sell my Xperia Play if I wanted to get a One X, which I don't now), Time to move on, I heard your getting an Xperia U, Have fun with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
I will :D

I'm on a team (me, nick, K900, championswimmer), and we have currently deployed recovery for STE chip devices :)

Were going to bring AOKP JB and some AOSP JB too :)

There's some great devs working on the S, all of FreeXperia team have one, and so does K900, so you'll get your fair share of ROM flashing :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
Love AOKP, Shall be using AOKP JB if it comes to the Xperia S (Will it be built from CM10 source or from AOSP, or whatever)

Anyway I'm not sure if you get Smart tags if you order it from clove, I really want them, but I would be prepared to pay the extra £30 from Sony to have the reassurance you will get them, some say in the reviews on Clove they never had the smart tags.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigPhil:
Please don't waste £30 just for some smart tags. Buy some tags that suit your use cases (stickers, keyrings, armbands etc) from somewhere like rapidnfc.com and use my free app to turn them into smart tags. Cheaper and much more useful in daily use

See my sig for the link.

Edit: Oh, an good choice on the Xperia S. In my office we have people with HTC one X, Xperia S, Xperia U, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus. Having played with all of them, ignoring price, I personally would still pick the Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
One thing I do like about the smart tags is how durable and small they are. The other keychain NFC tags I have found aren't as small and don't look as good. I got mine for free though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
Okay thanks, Will probably end up buying it for cheaper for Clove :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheCraig:
Xperia P looks awesome, but lack of developers, etc makes me still go for an Xperia S, In terms of design and build quality I would go with the Xperia P, but that isn't a huge thing for me.
