heat is normal when doing heavy stuff. you afraid of Gnex getting hot? you should try using sgs2 running hot. the thinner the hotter. biggrin.gif

so this is a normal thing?
but i'm only just chatting and browsing on webpages looking to motivate myself to work harder by looking at new bmw cars =.="

other than that ntg else :S

it just gets kinda warm-near-worrying-hot at the back.....when i play videos it definitely gets hot really quick


i have to add tho...that when i charge it...and its idle while charging...the back feels totally cool o.o

what ROM are you using? Try full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache) and reflash?
have you tried HaxSync?
you need to flash these customization files, search for hooolm circle mod, they look way better. Designed from the ground up for 720p.

download the zip files from here smile.gif

download according to the ROM that you are using, they are not universally compatible

after downloading, flash the files from recovery

My GNex never hang from day one ( 6 Jan ) till now , already 2 weeks. And I am on cook rom since day 2.  Are you using any of those cracked/pirated apps or apps installed from apk downloaded from elsewhere - these will usually cause such issues. If your apps are all clean apps, than I suggest you do a factory reset and if it occur again, could be motherboard issues
*
ya mine never hanged so far..i think about 5 days oledy...only thing i did notice today is when i was in my car...on a blardy hot day...updating my fb...it just reset itself...

i think the gnex was getting hot...and my car was oso hot...sitting inside waiting for air con to cool things off for a bit...

so i'm not sure if it was the fb app or the heat....was like a furnace out there today

was playing the game gun bros for a while just now in my cool room...about 20mins...it did get pretty warm...but it chilled out in less than 10 sec after i turn off the game

If you want to do it unoffiocially : Unlock bootloader, root and have CWM installed. This guide at XDA is very simple and explains very well the steps

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

Than lookup for roms for 4.02.2 or 4.0.3 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1339

Download the rom zip file - copy it to your phone internal sd . Switch off phone , boot to recovery mode ( press vol button and power button simultaneously) and move vol button till you see recovery - press power to select it
From recovery menu. select lear cache partion and at advanced slect clear dalvik cache. Then only select zip file to flash the rom

thx for the help benny notworthy.gif

unofficially? o.o

oh u mean the update is not official sweat.gif

so when the update is official, it will come thru the phone automatically?

if we are charging nexus, how come the screen wont auto lock unless we press the power button.

i already set to auto lock after 15 sec but still nothing..

if i unplug the charger, then only the screen will auto lock..

anyone have this problem too?

there is option in the setting that keeps the screen unlocked while charging.

yup mine will warm up when playing games or doing hardware intensive jobs.

I'm surprise there's not much people here who complain about the screen tint and the visible black streaks when brightness is low. actually i thought it was caused by the SP ==
*
mine no screen tint or visible black streats at any brightness, played around and its pretty clean or possibly i'm not looking at the right areas lol

however i still worrying about the heat =.=

i dunno...might be cuz i'm new to smartphone world but i still feel worried about the heat, but seems like almost everyone here finds it normal sweat.gif

i went thru the app market and i have no idea which to pick...i think most of the apps just monitor temp of the battery...but i feel my heat is not from the battery at all :S

4.0.2 is for yakju build
4.0.3 is custom ROM
*correct me if im wrong smile.gif

mmm...mine is yakju but at 4.0.1 via checking thru android system info app.

i didnt do any rooting whatsoever, just default as it is wink.gif

so, when i go to the settings>about phone>system updates

It's asking you to pick one account to associate your calender events to. it's intentional because some people use different account for different Google services.

If it says signed it, means you clicked on 'new account'. Should click 'existing account'.
*
mmm what i'm actually getting is only this:

(triangle with exclamation) No Calendars

Before you can add an event, you must add at least one Calendar account to the device and make a calendar visible. Touch "Add account" to add an account (if you just added an account, wait for it to finishy syncing and try again).
Or touch Cancel and ensure that at least one calendar is visible.


-------


so i hit cancel, it goes back but still cant do anything...

when i hit add account

i get 2 options:
Corporate
Google

so i touch google and try to sign in with that one account that i run with my phone but it says the phone already runs with it... doh.gif


sorry sweat.gif hope can help me out here :S

hmnn...i cant seem to find anything on this over the net...

i'm starting to think that the default calender app on the phone is for sync to corporate and other alternative gmail calender accounts...

i can only browse calender of my primary account (the one on the phone) via the web-browser and cannot find any google calender app...

what i did find was google's doc app to add in as a shortcut app to the documents i save to my primary google account....but then again none for calender
