[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
I located in hong kong and bought an imported Nexus, which country does my phone "belongs to"?

Because until now I still don't have 4.1.1 update!!

Here is my phone detail:

Android version: 4.0.4

baseband version I9250XXLA2

Build number: IMM76K.I9250ZSLE2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Maps >> settings >> about should tell you which yakjuxx variant you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
yakjuzs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
That means you're getting OTA via Samsung, not Google. What I recommend you to do is use Efrant's guide to convert from what you have to yakju or takju. It only takes few minutes... Make sure that you got everything backed up, since the process includes you wiping EVERYTHING.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
But when I connect my Nexus to kies it keep saying "connecting", tried on two different computers.

BTW, am I running the right firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well first of all, Gnex doesn't use Kies... You need to download the drivers yourself

And what do you mean by right variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
Samsung use kies right? Where can I get the driver?

I think I am using Verizon firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Are you with Verizon? If not, the answer is no.

Only device with Samsung Touchwiz uses it. Gnex is a PURE ANDROID. Without any brand bloatware. That is why it doesn't have Kies.

Verizon variant is mysid and if you have GSM Gnex and you can text, call and etc, you don't have Verizon variant. You don't need to worry about that.

You can get the driver and how to install it from this post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
according on the web, IMM76K seems to be a Verizon firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
That is Verizon Android 4.0.4 version (I think). Mysid is like a "codename" for all Verizon ROMs. For example, CM10 for GSM Nexus is either takju or yakju, but CM10 for Verizon will be mysid. Hope that answers your question
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
how can i update to 4.1.1?

GSM versions also have IMM76K....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
I want to update instead of flashing the phone to keep my data. Check this page, it says at the bottom that my device "was never offered as an over-the-air update"?

http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-nexus/i9250/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Yeah, but he told me that the Verizon variant is IMM76K. Sorry if I confused you.. English is my second language...

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

OP: If you don't want to convert to yakju or takju, you just need to wait. From what I know, your variant doesn't have the Jelly Bean OTA yet (Blame Samsung). I personally would just convert it and get it over with. That's what I did, and I am very happy with my decision. Photos and musics and the moved to your computer and apps+data can be backed up by following this guide
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
I thank you for your help. Here are my last questions:

How to tell if my phone is an import and find out where it is from?

BTW I still can't update (not flash) to 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well the variant can tell you if it's an import. For example, you have yakjuzs is a China variant, so it is an import. If you had takju, it will be from US. If yakjuux, Canadian. Something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunny7day:
Ok i think mine is not an import then, thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
No problem. Glad I could help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
There are ways to unlock the GN without wiping data (it involves using an exploit rather than "fastboot oem unlock").

ezekeel's app has such a method.

However: I am not familiar with the Verizon GN that you say you have. I can't say for sure the app will work with it. You can ask around in his thread. There may also be other ways I'm not aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I thought you need root to unlock and relock the bootloader without wipe?

Also, if you follow efrant's guide to convert to takju or yakju, you need to wipe it anyways, since you need to flash userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Correct. There is no way to unlock your bootloader without either root or using 'fastboot oem unlock'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Thank you Efrant for clearing that out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Now that i reread ezekeel's post, i think efrant's right: the one click root exploit was meant to be used prior to the unlock.

Edit: Sorry, this doesn't work on 4.04, and efrant probably knows a lot more than me. Please disregard.

[Defy General] aredspider:
Hi all,

recently I upgraded my red lens defy from cm7.2 to cm9 Motoicegun mod. Worked fine so far, but I had a server error problem with Google Play. So I decided to restore my Backup of cm7.2. Now my phone won't boot anymore. All I see is the cm google logo. I couldn't even get into recovery mode. I managed to restore a stock rom (JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf) via rsd lite, which booted. Installed defy recovery, tried to install cm7.2 same problem: Boot freeze. Same when I installed cm9 Motoicegun, cm9 latest nightly, cm7.1 and my old cm7.2 backup. Now I'm desperate :(

Please help.
[Defy General] swapnil360:
Don't worry. Just flash sbf again with RSD Lite. Then, reboot into stock recovery (vol down + power) and clear data. You'll now boot into the stock ROM. You know what to do next ;)
[Defy General] aredspider:
Thx for the reply, but as i wrote, I tried that already.

Every time before flashing I erased user data, cache, dalvik and even the battery stats.

Restored stock rom, installed defy recovery, installed cm - boot freeze :(
[Defy General] lexer98:
Sound stupid but you tried boot without SD card ?
[Defy General] aredspider:
thx for the idea, but it did not work
[Defy General] lexer98:
gets stuck on the animated logo? you left it five minutes to see if boots ?:good:
[Defy General] aredspider:
No, it happens before the animated logo, during the still blue google cm logo. waited for about 10 min, nothing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdafly:
On my way to pickup new ATT SG3's and after that will drive to Sprint store to return the 48 hours old SG'3

I did *not* root the Sprint phones, only setup gmail and made home screen changes to icons.

I setup Samsung account and Sprint pushed several updates to the phones.

What is the simplest way to remove all of my user data from the phones and all my email accounts, messages (SMS and Google) ?

I read this but it does not have the option mentioned at bottom, is there a key sequence I can use to reset the data

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyDeez:
I've been testing out various jelly bean ROMs and they all get stuck while booting up on Google logo, it takes a good 5 or so minutes to boot up. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. If it helps, I use each ROM for a week to have things settle down before I decide to move on. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpspyro:
Yeah, I have the same problem. I did some research and found that it might be the older ICS boot loader, so I loaded up the JB boot loader. This seemed to work at first, but after switching to CM10 nightlies, it still behaves as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyDeez:
Right, forgot to mention I too have tried JB Loader, same scenario as you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Stupid question, but do you dirty flash or clean flash? Do you flash toro version or toroplus version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpspyro:
I always do a clean flash of any new rom flavor. If I am doing nightlies, I dirty flash.

I always flash toro (VZW).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nhizzat:
Known issue and has been covered over and over again in numerous threads.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryands991:
If the phone believes it was not shut down correctly, it will initiate a scan of the ENTIRE file system to check for errors. This takes about 5 minutes, and is done at the Google logo screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyDeez:
Any way/ROM that avoids this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
I've been running BAMF for a few weeks (with the ics bootloader) and it's only happened to me once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
That makes the most sense of anything I've seen. Noticed the issue after flashing the leaked VZW JB OTA, went back to a clean factory image and tried again, with no change. The only thing I've noticed is the slow boot appears once apps are installed, and only after a battery pull or being off for a few minutes or longer. Since I rarely pull a battery (only if switching to a spare because I can't plug in to charge) or actually turn the device off, it's really a non-issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Will occasionally happen to me when rebooting which kind of makes sense as this wasn't initially designed into the build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xda6969:
I was having this issue when I re-flashed su.zip after the OTA 4.1.1 update. I flashed my phone back to stock 4.0.4 and let it upgrade OTA to 4.1.1. It booted normally now. I added a half-a-dozen apps or so and everything was still fine. I rebooted many, many times. My /data folder was basically clean. Then I installed SuperSU using recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-toro.img. That's when the problem started to happen again. The Google screen would sit for just about 3 minutes. Now since then, I added about 12 gigs of media but the boot hasn't lengthened. It's still just about 3 minutes. It always takes that amount of time now no matter how many times I reboot. I sure would like to find out exactly why JB is doing this scan every boot since root. The rooting must prevent a normal shutdown to trigger this. I'm on the stock rom.

Hi,

Today i noticed a problem on my SGS. I tried to use camera and i tried several times but every time try to use camera, same message appears on screen

Camera error

Can't connect to camera

Hey come on! Some one please help with this! I just want to know is it hardware fault or due to rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
Two option

1. Try clearing gallery app data from settings->app

2. If the above dont work then go to recovery wipe cache wipe dalvik and fix permissions.

It will work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmavrickx2005:
The problem could be for many reasons - hw or sw.

What change did you make before it stopped working?

If above recommendations don't work:

1) Turn off your phone, take the battery out, and wait for a few seconds, then put it back in and turn it back on -- May fix simple hw glitches

2) Try another camera app, such as fxcamera, camera 360, etc -- To see if its the default camera app

3) Do you have other apps that use the camera? Like mirror or flashlight apps or something? It might be interfearing. Actually it could be other apps interfearing too. I'd make a back-up and start uninstalling suspicious apps.

4) Go back to stock rom, and see if camera works. If yes, then root and re-install custom rom. If no, then take to a repair store? Can't think of anything else.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeywithbanana:
Thanks for your help guys! Now got it working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmavrickx2005:
Glad its working bro!

Just curious, what was the issue and how did you fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeywithbanana:
I don't know what was the issue but i rebooted my phone because it was a bit laggy

and i noticed that the camera works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmavrickx2005:
ah ok, glad it worked .. yeap, when in doubt, reboot haha

Apple will sue over this phone as well, claiming blah, blah, blah.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] elephant007:
They will sue for the use of the word "mini" to 'describe an existing technology in a smaller size than the original'

Apple secured a patent on the term since nobody else has done so

[Galaxy S III Mini General] The Archangel:
When will samsung learn that they are Killing the "galaxy" name with these ridiculous phones. They are waters down.

Galaxy mini, galaxy w, galaxy precedent etc. If it wasn't for marketing, you couldn't tell what the flagship device is. HTC got smart, samsung hasn't yet.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] lviv73:
They cant be making money on all those variants,why not just push improved versions?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] The Archangel:
Each different region gets specific models, while majority get the flagship models. In the states you can't come across a galaxy w, but over seas you can. The same goes for different galaxy phones.

Samsung is out for money, in my eyes with all these phones. The galaxy line is fine, maybe a few other phones(entry, mid an high end). Just not so many that people get confused on what the flagship device is.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 00mred00:
They have offerings for every pricepoint is the way I look at it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] The Archangel:
They do offer loads of choices, not going to lie. Unless your a tech guy(me an xda users), you won't know which to get. I just wish they learn from htc, with their one series. The X being the best, S being a competitive mid to high range an the V being a nice entry level.

What I'm suggestion is, the S3 be like the the (one)X. Top of the line etc. Then have a second line for S an third for V.

You get what I mean?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 00mred00:
I get that, but the galaxy name was bastardized more than a year ago tho.

They could do more to classify them though. I am with ya.

Their offerings structure in my opinion is strictly price bracket based. Someting in each range certain people can afford.

Of all things...very similar to shoes. I am cheap and it was a long time before I realized that $100 pair of aisics really are more comfortable and last longer than that $30pair. In either case though they were getting my money by offering something in every price point

Another issue is the pace at which technology is advancing. This doesnt apply here...but think ..yearly flagships...wow! Or the Galaxy note...the 2 may very likely release in only a few weeks, only 9 months after the original.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] bonebeatz1234:
I was one that thought this screen was to big but you get use to it fast and now the note 2 seems tempting, the screen on this phone seem smaller to me now . Funny how i thought 4 inches was perfect, nope i wont go smaller than this screen 4.8 inches. my girlfriend even thought the screen was to big and now she already

wanna jump on the note 2. we both out grew this phone screen size.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] The Archangel:
I gave up trying to have the best phone. My main an only, is my sensation. When I can I might get the one x+ who knows.

Phones are coming out too fast now, it's impossible to keep up almost. Roughly every week 1-3 phones are announced(rumors, leaks etc)

Samsung just released the S3, now they are making different versions of it. Need I say more?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] stu5797:
I am used to my gs3's screen when i used to think it was too big. But, i still think 4" is perfect for a phone in a business setting that could easily fit into suit pants without being too noticeable
[Galaxy S III Mini General] DMax99:
Might be too expensive for its specs
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Livebyte:
I like the S3 Mini but with its mediocre specs, even my Note 1 is superior.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Voicebox:
Near as I can tell from travelling to Asia a couple times a year is the "S" series is the top of the line in both specs and price point. It is clearer when looking at the dozens of models sold at shops in Asia but not so clear when looking at the handful of models in the US which I think are all "S" models these days.

As you mentioned they have the "W" series and perhaps other series as well in other countries. Basically cheaper and lower spec. Wifi is hard to find on the cheaper models as an example, but just about mandatory on even low end smart phones here.

It is not unheard of for series to overlap in specifications. Automakers do it all the time, and I would bet TVs and other electronics do so as well. Specs on the top end Corolla overlap the low end Camry, the top end Escort had better specs than the low end Mustang. Things like that. Of course the difference being the styling and appearance around that hardware.

I think if they stick with S and an number as the top end phone, they'll be fine. It is the named phones that are confusing to consumers as to where they fit. Captivate, Fascinate, Exhibit, Relay, etc. even though I think those are all S series.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lndnfsu2:
it`s basically an upgraded S Advance (I9070)
