[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeerSteak:
I think you'll really like it. I've had mine for about 3 weeks - got it for a steal on eBay right after the Nexus 4 was announced. When I got it, it looked completely unused.

Anyway, even the camera doesn't bother me. It's as good as any other cell phone camera I've ever used though I suppose it's not the best out there (HTC or Nokia most likely have those). Still what I use my phone camera for is stuff that winds up downsized on Facebook anyway. If I want to take nice photos, that's what my Canon EOS T3 is for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] insane08:
Yea it is not a bad decision. The camera really does not bother me at all because it actually takes great pictures. Overall it is the software mix with the mp that produce great shots so the 5mp only sounds bad but quality is pretty good imo. The development is amazing as well with all the new 4.2.1 Roms coming out

Also depends on how much you got the gnex for thou?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mustang302LX:
You are part of the problem this site faces. Such an ignorant and useless post for absolutely no reason. If you don't like a thread/post simply move on and don't be a jerk!

To the OP I gave my wife my S3 and took my old GNex back from her. She hated the battery life of the GNex and I hated not having the latest version of Android lol. All in all the GNex is a great phone I just wish I could get the battery to last a bit longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
cool story bro. lolololol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
I am in the exact same place as the OP. I sold my white S3 to buy N4 but after 10 days w/o a decent phone bought a brand new GNex.

Actually I do not regret of selling the S3. I really love the pure android.

I tried CM in s3 and it was buggy as hell.

I will go for an N4 but gnex is a remarkable phone. Period :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spoonboy:
Thanks guys you've certainly reassured me.

I think I've made a good decision for the meantime. I played with stock 4.2 on the gnex and I absolutely loved it. Android has come so far from eclair, which is what I started on.

And I don't care what anyone says about amoled, the pure black with saturated neon blue on the gnex is sexy as hell.

Only thing is gaming, but for anything serious I much prefer to use the N7. I'm sure the gnex will cut it for temple run etc!

I can see myself becoming a serial flasher again lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spoonboy:
I paid 200 for it, supposedly in mint condition, but we'll see when it gets here. I sold my s3 for 350 so I'm still quids in. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I totally agree. I hear a lot of people *****ing about the displays on this phone, but I have to disagree, especially after a minor color tweak. Punchy colors (but not too punchy), super dark blacks, 320ppi (pentile be damned it still looks great)..I find myself just staring at my home screen sometimes which features a city scape at night recolored with a rainbow like effect, it just really shows all the strengths of this screen.

Certain shades of gray are the weakness, but I rarely encounter them, and the rest of the time it just looks great, so I really don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Those are just nerds on xda. Normal people think the screen on our phone is awesome... and it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dung8604:
Agree. Broke my one s and for this for 200 instead of waiting for the nexus 4. Probably one of the best phones if not the bes that I have ever owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamdx:
Ever since I had an iPhone 4 with retina display, pentile displays are garbage in comparison.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbaddley:
I sat a couple of days ago with a N4 in my cart, with a ship date of 1-2 weeks...but something just didn't seem right to me. It was $350 I didn't really have to blow, but I really needed to get something going because my company is kicking everyone off their Verizon corporate plan at the end of the month.

I've been a Galaxy S I (Fascinate) user for the past 2 years, and I wanted to stay with a Galaxy family. I have been researching using a GSM GNex for T-Mobile Prepaid. So, I bailed on the N4, with the hopes that I could find a good deal on a GNex (I knew I could get a "like new" one from Amazon for $300).

Then my Fascinate died. My Galaxy S1 that I've babied and taken such good care of it's whole life....now in a endless bootloop with no USB access whatsoever to flash anything new to it. Oh well, I was going to have to send it back to corporate next week anyway. Still, I haven't been without a mobile for more than a day in a long time.

Somehow luck was on my side. The very next day, a local man posted his "like new in box" GSM Gnex for $200, and I pounced. Met him during his 2nd shift workbreak and bought it immediately. Got it home and shoved my T-Mobile SIM in there, and completed the activation and number port online. Took them about 8 hours (overnight) to port my number from the corporate plan.

I'm thrilled with my decision. I love the look, feel and quality of the GNex..and the step up in speed and smoothness from my Fascinate (that was running CM10 nightlies) is immense! I'll probably end up using this for a year or two and pick up one of the next generation Nexus phones (maybe a Google/Motorola Nexus?), skipping the LG N4.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Really? You think I haven't used a retina iphone? I have, quite a bit. Yeah, it's good, but bleh color and bleh black level, and come on, minuscule in size. Way worth the tradeoff of pentile thanks, especially at these resolutions. I would agree with the old 480x800 pentiles, but 320 ppi is damn small, and the downsides to pentile are hard to see at best. So, in the real world the Nexus screen imo looks much better.

Especially while looking at pictures or watching movies. The GNex is amazing compared to iphone 4's 'it's sharp but meeh'.

Hi,

Ive been having problems while charging my phone. Usually i charge my phone from 11 pm to 7 am and sometimes when i wake up in the morning the battery light is green and it reads as 100% battery charge but the moment i disconnect the wire it instantly drops to 30-50%. Is anyone else having these issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kirkgbr:
Are you stock?

I have not had this problem and charge pretty much same as you. I am stock rooted with a few apps disabled and only had the phone since October.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgaf:
Try this app

Also I'm pretty sure you shouldn't let it charge for so long, it will hinder you battery life in the long run. At least that's what I have read.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterDecker:
Option 1 : Clear battery stats

Option 2 : Get a new battery and 24 hour charge

Option 3 : Let the battery DIE, drop it in the freezer for a few hours, then 12 - 24 hour charge it again. Doing this though MAY (not always does) cause the water indicator to trip. Easiest solution I found for that was I vacuum sealed my battery THEN dropped it in the freezer. No air, no moisture, no trip.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lt1camaro:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MaxWARby:
I tried stable build and multiple nightly builds but have same problem.

When I hang up calls phone freezes for 2-3 min. Just black screen. After that I got message "launcher is not responding | wait or close" I tried trebuchet launcher which come with CM10 and also Nova launcher. Both are acting 100% same. This happened only after i hang up phone call and almost every next call.

Is somebody have same problems?

Update: Sometime error said "com.android.phone has stopet working". Even after clean install, wiping everithing what I can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colhavoc:
Hi,

I bought a Galaxy S i9000 from someone for cheap because they said it didn't work. Anyways, after getting into ODIN on it and flashing a custom rom, I got it to boot. Problem now is, I think the IMEI number on the phone is screwed up (I get a message on phone startup) and can't connect it to the cell network with my SIM card.

Is there anyway to restore the IMEI number back into the phone, so that I can get it to register properly again? Also, then unlock it?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
My IMEI got invalid too a few months ago when i flashed a custom CM10 JB Rom.

I got my IMEI back when I flashed back to GB via Odin.

Custom Rom developers advise flashing a CM9 ICS first before a Custom JB to avoid an invalid IMEI.

That's what i did, I got my IMEI back and currently using a custom JB Rom.

To unlock your phone, try to search in General Forum, there are some threads that discusses how to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InkZ:
Yup, had the same thing with an upgrade. It's like the ROM upgrades but the IMEI bits don't.

You need to downgrade to get your IMEI back. Once you have it back DO A NANDROID!!

Then you can try to upgrade again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative0100:
It usually happens when you skip a version of android.. eg froyo to JB.

Just downgrade via Odin to stock firmware and upgrade each version in order.

Simple as that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colhavoc:
Well, restored to 2.3.6 and worked fine. I then installed CM 7.1 (Worked) then went to CM7.2 (Worked) and when I went to CM 9.0, it then stopped. No message about invalid IMEI or anything, just no bars.

Not sure, reverting back to CM7.2 for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIP1:
You can try doing this process again but now backup your /efs library with Nitrality or some other /efs backup app.... make another copy of the backup in your pc and just restore it when needed...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertocastillo2001:
Before trying to flash, get into recovery and format these partitions:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colhavoc:
Hi,

Tried this. I restored back to factory default image, worked.

Upgraded to CM 7.1, worked

Upgraded to CM7.2 Worked. Used Nitrality to backup /efs folder

Upgraded to CM 9.0, did not work. Restored /efs from backup. Did not work. Reboot, did not work.

So, for now it's back to CM7.2. I gave it to a friend to test out, if it works then he will be keeping it for a while and i'll try something else to upgrade it when he wants to. Thanks again for the help, seems it wants to be stubborn.

In an attempt to keep all my apps on play store and not need amazon (where I got weatherbug elite as faotd) I mostly stick to AOKP with its weather options, radarnow for radar, and for a week or so I've been using this app for a widget mostly to see the 5 day forecast.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GreatSudoku:
My previous phone was an HTC sensation 4G. I've rooted and installed ParanoidKANGdroid on my new SGS3. here are some questions that arose

1. Are there firmware/radio/dish files for the SGS3? I remember mucking around with those on the HTC Sensation.

2. I used the Snapdragon toolkit to root the phone, I'm assuming it S-OFFed my phone, gave my phone SuperCID, and root in one step. I'm just kinda surprised how easy it was on the SGS3 as compared to the HTC sensation. Want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

3. I enjoy flashing/testing custom kernels. Especially ones that overclock, undervolt, and provide a wide variety of governors. With the Paranoid KANGdroid ROM it appears there are only two custom kernels I can use KT747 and d2-tmo. Any kernels I'm missing out on that work with PARANOID KANGdroid. Are there any apps that undervolt kernels across the board for SGS3? I had an app like this on my previous phone.

4. Now for my newbie question. I have an SD card in the phone's slot under the back case. Settings -> storage recognized it and shows the space, however when I connect the phone to my MacBook Air, Linux laptop, or Windows 7 desktop, NONE of them see the "external" SD, they all pick up the internal storage just fine. Any suggestions or help on this one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osbosb:
1) Yes, look in the forums. use the search.

2) There is no such thing as S-OFF

3) Yes, look in the forums. use the search.

4) Format the card and install the USB drives from the samsung website

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
How strange, there was the exact same issue on my sgs, turned out it was a problem with a custom kernel, so weird that this happens on stock kernel then. As far as I know, this is caused when the kernel boots in low power mode, when you have to hold the power button for a bit to boot, and has nothing to do with the battery itself.

I'd try to flash a different kernel anyway, might solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ReAlives:
last night, i charged my phone until it fully charged and then i played with it for about 30 minutes which cause the battery to drained 5%, i turned it off put it to the table and i slept, and then when i woke up, i turned my phone on and guess what ? it won't boot up, i plugged it in to the charger and it boot up as normally it do, so how did it happen ? i didn't even touch the phone and as a matter of fact, the phone is turned off, how on earth the battery drained ? i think it has something to do with the kernel, im currently using pa 2..99-5 and franco kernel beta r238

this has happened twice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
Because it was at 5% when you shut your phone down, this was estimated. The shutdown process itself is taxing on the phone. Plus there is a natural sleep current drain on the battery when it is powered off (this is how it even knows you push the power button) I wouldnt worry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I think he meant it was at 95%

OP:

I'd assume you had a BSOD.

BSODs waste a ton of battery.

Using underclocking/undervolting/hotplugging?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacobtc:
How would he have a system failure drain, when the phone is turned off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
It could have crashed in the process of shutting down which would have appeared to have turned off but instead was running in a loop with the screen off and the buttons frozen.

How to use grouper roms w/tilapia recovery

Use an archive manager like 7zip and open your rom without unzipping.

Open META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Look for the line (usually the first) that says something like this:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper");
[*]

Change 'grouper' to 'tilapia'

Save and flash!

Hopefully soon, devs will make two versions of their roms, although that may not happen until we finish porting the GSM stack. A solution for the meantime would be to edit the above assert to (off the top of my head):

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper") || (getprop("ro.product.device") == "tilapia" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tilapia")

For anything meant to service both devices. The devs should not be expecting users to run another device's recovery in my opinion, even if it is working. Because, as we know, it breaks other things, like OTAs and other update.zips.

My expectation would be that they will begin to build separate roms, as that is best practice and doesn't make use use the grouper fstab stuff. Not the most efficient use of bandwidth, I concede...

Sure. Is techerrata/Goo a non-working option for some people? I use it for a project that is has mostly international users and haven't had any complaints. What/where would be helpful to you?

Update: Since I am here...I will post CWM Touch eventually. CWM Touch still has closed source elements, so the only way I know of to compile it is to use koush's web builder. But the result of that build is not booting. I ported Touch by hand, but it is too buggy to release, something needs to be modified in the recovery.fstab, I guess.

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Xentar712:
If this is installed, will I be barred from installing grouper roms? I currently have multirom running, with stock as the main rom and PA as the alternate. PA doesn't get 3G but it works fine. Other grouper roms still work too, just no 3G. This is holding me over until they get the "tilapia" roms up. I just installed the OTA manually through fastboot.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] mateorod:
You will have to hack the grouper roms to change their assert to read tilapia rather than grouper (assuming they have them, and it is REALLY easy to do either way, easier than flashing an OTA in fastboot easy). I tend to be of the opinion that it is better to have a hack like that when you know you are doing something dangerous as opposed to the reverse.

Not that it is all that dangerous with the Nexus devices. But if you are flashing a rom from a different device onto your tablet, I think that you should have to indicate you are aware you are doing it.

The best thing would be for roms that are able to work on both devices should have updater-scripts that reflect that. You shouldn't be required to run recovery not for your device. But personal choice, as always.

Edit: As indicated on the OP, grouper and tilapia have different layouts. Look at the recovery.fstab, tilapia has this line:

/radio	ext4	/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/RDO

That file is used in making and configuring recovery...the rom makers will have to be able to work with tilapia recovery if they ever hope to have the GSM stack work, I would guess.
