I have always owned and loved android devices since the g1. I always got carrier branded devices and switch every so often. I thought it would make sense to grab a gsm nexus so I started researching, and boy did I research. I thought that the price of a gnex from google is not bad and i had enought money to get one, but for whatever reason i figured i'd check ebay, but they sell for the same or more used. so I checked craigslist- on payday i saw what looked like a great deal... new gnex with extra battery 300, so i contacted the dude and met up about 40 minutes drive. the phone was in new condition there was the extra battery and vanilla ics, tried it made a call so i took it. while driving away i started playing with it.. i went to the camera app, got a message stating to insert sd card, i was like wth a gnex with an sd card. then i got a call the there was a flashing led at the bottom. i got home and examined it well, turns out its a fake ( my fingernail can operate the capacitve sereen) it looks so damn real... now im screwed out of 300 bux. I was so upset i went to google and got a new one, so I should have it soon... learnt my lesson well.- i really didnt think that fake phones existed and damn they did a great job... i think ill just give it to my son- he will by happy to have it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Pics or it didn't happen LOL. Can we see it? Wanna see how good of a "job" they did.

i just tried looking them up to find one i cant seem to find a fake one anywhere, but i did find some really good fake phones however and by good i mean they look really close to the original.

I did a search I think this is a fake http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...citive-screen-WIFI-5-0MP-GPS-wholesalers.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Yeah that's a fake. The site even looks like amazon, with the way it's laid out and even some of the graphics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordache16:
This is why I like buying things eBay over CraigsList. eBay has gone to great lengths to protect buyers. With that being said it is such a pain any more to sell things on eBay (major hassle listing/shipping items, excessive fees, picky buyers) which is why I usually won't sell things on eBay any more.

In your case though you got a fake phone, which may have been hard to tell when you bought it but hypothetically if it were a Verizon phone for example it could have been completely real but may have been stolen and had a bad ESN. Even then though I believe you can check with the carrier to see if the ESN is clean. I guess what it boils down to is you just have to be very cautious whenever buying something from an 'un-trusted' source.

On a side note, I just received my Verizon Nexus that I bought on eBay for $240. This thing was listed at 'Used' but it is seriously in like new condition, not a scratch or scuff on it (and it came with a nice case). I am absolutely loving the phone so far. Only thing I don't like is that I didn't upgrade to it sooner.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sna66:
I'm staying away from eBay and craigslist from now on, just for certain things I guess- i got a sweet shih tzu puppy for 300 bux on CL so I guess in the end it all evens out. I'll just get a simple mobile sim and give it to my kid, so its not a total loss, he will be happy with it. I'm just amazed of what a good job they did with it. and the fingernail test is how I narrowed it down - compared it to my girl's SG2. Im getting withdrawals waiting for the real phone to ship from google.

I wouldn't say he was careless. How many people have reported purchasing a FAKE Galaxy Nexus. I personally didn't even know they existed. I'm sure this could happen more than we like to think. Know we know to be even more careful.

I feel bad for you, man. Craigslist has been so bad lately. I receive about 5 scam emails to one legitimate offer. I have a few phones and other items listed right now and almost every email I receive is a scam or a low-ball offer. I'm surprised someone tried to sell you a fake via Craigslist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Guys, I think that everyone is missing some very important and startling points here. Yes, this is obviously a fake, but think about this. This guy is obviously a very talented dev. I mean that phone seems to be running a highly modded version of gingerbread. Build prop edits and other visual fakery aside, how the **** did he get the nav bar working on gb? And what hardware has he used. What do the recents popup & notification panel look like? Does the whole thing function properly? Eg. Connect to data, play store etc. If all this works, I think you need to get the system image & the hardware specs to someone who knows this stuff, coz this could be something that could be really helpful to devs for other devices where ics isn't even an option. Just my 2 cents worth.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The gnex has an led light on the bottom and the SD thing might be a bug...

Edit: read some more posts... obviously a fake
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Yes its a clone made by china phones model MTK6575 in a gnex case. I'd still like to know how they got an ics SystemUI to run on gb framework. At least that's how it appears to me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Yes it would appear that they use the same platform for all their clones. Note that it said "not just the 4.0 user UI but genuine 4.0 os" which would indicate that they have indeed been using ics SustemUI with gb framework. How the **** do you do that?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Yeah I know, but wouldn't it be useful for devices that can't get ics. I mean gb framework was faster anyway, but add on the goods that come with ics UI......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Maybe you just too young to remember laddie. ;) But seriously, on my old nexus s, I would always go back to cm7 after trying anything ics based, coz I couldn't handle how sluggish it was. Gb was flyin' in comparison. Ics was just too resource hungry for 512 Mb ram.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
No I wasn't... I came into android from eclair. And you comparing an old phone to this phone. This phone was the first one to have ICS and it was meant to run it. And nexus s took forever to get it and was an aged device. Of course its not gunna handle it as well as gingerbread. So saying GB is faster than ICS based on that phone is false.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Now now. Don't get all riled up. If you read my first couple of posts, you'll see that I was saying that it could be useful for older devices that may/will never get ics or run it properly. Not for this device obviously, that would be the definition of insanity. Mainly I was just curious as to how they managed to do it. I mean, it is a pretty cool trick from a dev perspective.

Looking at it, its just a theme and a bit of hackery, nothing getting worked up over.

These kind of fakes have been around forever, and always will be.

You can probs buy an official case unit for pennies in china, shove some generic cheapo internals in and call it a day :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x4-FAo:
LOL!!!!!!

are you serious??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Yes, but these are real phones. Yes, they're copies, but you can buy them straight from the company. I thought about the possibility of it being a theme, but that doesn't explain the nav bar. As far as I'm aware, that's not possible on gb, unless they've managed to stuff the ics SystemUI in there somehow. Which I think would be useful for some low end devices.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
No joke, apparently he has seen people drop phones... so he was being safe??? He started yelling at me that I wasted his time because In his mind asking to see a phone means buying it without any inspection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roxy:
Considering the fact that he sold you a fake phone and you fell for it... he's probably going to attempt to scam someone else.

Maybe you should check CL occasionally to see if someone posted a similar listing. ( for all you know, it could be him again ) and act as if you're someone else and are interested in buying it. Seriously, if I were you, I wouldn't let him get away with it easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sna66:
I dont really have any recourse, even if i confront him he is gona say that that is not the phone i sold him and what not, its my mistake live and learn

I'd show up with a gun and several friends after asking to meet in a fairly discreet place, but I value my $100-200 quite a bit...

Sucks, though. You'll like the GNex once you have a real one, I'm sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Thats a pretty good fake, only thing that strikes me is the lack of Google on the rear battery cover.

As far as onscreen buttons go, I am sure a reasonably skilled dev could knock some up, or you could just use a launcher with them built in? ;)

I remember the first edition of the ICS launcher on the play store had them.

Once you can get Voice and Text working, data is a bit easier and should be covered by the guide.

I remember there were some leaked ICS updates rolling around before the official OTA update. I have been very unhappy with my RAZR since the OTA and have managed to get Verizon to send me a replacement RAZR that doesn't have the ICS update pre loaded.

My question: Can anyone point me in a direction that explains or reviews which ICS leaks are able to be freely be downgraded to GB?(which ICS leaks share the same bootloader as its GB predecessor)

The only reason I ask is I have no reason to ever accept the OTA without Adobe Flash working.. But if it works on a prior leak I may see how stable they are... I just need to know that if it doesn't work, I can safely go back to GB and be happy.

I appreciate any help with this!
