I saw this when I was shopping around yesterday

[attachmentid=2688917]

replacement battery cover.
back is aluminium but inside is plastic.
never get hold of it so not sure the quality.

advise to those who using back case, I found a few scratches on my phone body after I use Mercury case for few weeks.
was taking out yesterday to change other colour then only I saw it.

I can confirm before I put the case, confirm no so much scratches.

I immediately ordered a full body protector yesterday night.

I want to ask, if there's software to revert back the Galaxy Nexus into "ORIGINAL FIRMWARE"(without any modification) again?

The Gnex Toolkit can??

Thanks.

My mom seems to have bought me the AP version... sad.
*
OMG, so you have one already? it's ok even if its AP set, just pray your set is flawless so you don't have to claim warranty tongue.gif

and yes the toolkit can help you revert back to stock firmware, but first you have to download the .img file though

actually, try out Equalizer by SA Labs.

I find that it works with videos as well, while Volume+ only works with notification and ringtone.

can someone test it out to confirm?

Will try it when reach home.
TS tried the swype? Hehe
*
Installed it since December on GNex, using it since 2010 when I still had my HTC Desire as main phone brows.gif
in fact, I am one of the first few people to find out Swype, and demoing it around my friends

but nowadays I'm converted back to using stock keyboard more, depends on mood sometimes will use Swype tongue.gif

For volume fix, install Equalizer by SA Labs

and follow this settings

see if it works? smile.gif

I meant the official release.. haha. Ok ok. Check it out later.

oh, nope, didn't bother to try, I am guessing it will be the same more or less anyway. tongue.gif

hmm, for the Equalizer app, there seems to be 2 major downside =/
you have to run it every time you reboot your phone,
and it distorts the sound

but at least it works for video volume, while Volume+ does not afaik

Hehe. So which equalizer apps would u put in first page? tongue.gif


Added on February 17, 2012, 8:54 pm

And yeah. Which browser is best for nexus? .hmm. chrome or opera?  Hehe.
*
I chose the one by Smart Android Apps, because the interface looks better smile.gif

for browser, it depends on what you want.

If you want something simple yet efficient, I use the stock browser and chrome
for more functions, try dolphin hd, or maxthon browser

accessing camer from the lock sreen took 10 second to load the camera app. It is much faster opening the camera after doing normal unlock.

Anyone have this issue?

hmm, yea at stock launching the camera is a bit slow, because it jumps to the homescreen before launching the camera. hmm.gif

probably after a 4.0.3 (or more) update it'll be much faster. Currently I'm running a 4.0.3 rom, it launches the camera instantly, but still have to wait for like 2~3 sec for the camera to activate

Speaking about megapixels, does 5mp from Nexus able to perform well under well lit condition?

Some even said, 8mp from XXXX is definitely better than 5mp. Before I proceed to the theory of megapixel. Have a look on the samples pic that I took with Macro lens.

You be the judge.

Well, sensor is the thing we should focus on. Not just megapixel. Higher megapixel doesn't produce good quality of pictures if it has the bad sensor compared to lower megapixel with good sensor. Many people have misunderstood of the megapixel and sensor conception

agree. Not just that it looks good, the gameplay is really good too. varieties of towers that isn't over powered and all have different purposes + the commander that is actually influetial. Animation doesn't feels cheap. HD res everything. best tower defense game for Android

hi, i realised that when i put my phone to silent or vibrate, whenever i press the volume up button, my phone will be back into ringing mode. is there any way i can set it so that it does not exit silent mode whenever i press the volume up button?
*
silent mode = volume 0

so if you increase volume it will exit silent mode

If you want it to stay in silent mode, why press volume up? hmm.gif
