Let's not beat around the bush. The Galaxy Nexus is definitely the best Android phone available today -- it's possibly even the best phone available today, period. Sure, it's not perfect -- we're disappointed that the camera doesn't deliver the same wow factor as the rest of the handset. It's an alright shooter, but it's just no match for the state-of-the-art. There's also room for improvement in terms of build and materials quality. Still, there's no denying the satisfying look and feel, the stunning display, the impressive performance, the excellent battery life -- the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.

The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone ever made. It's one of the best smartphones ever made, and with a couple of minor tweaks (particularly to the camera), it could be the best smartphone ever produced.
Still, there's really not much to knock here. The hardware is elegant and smartly designed. The software is beautiful and useful. Google has cleaned up a lot of the bad, and replaced it with a serious amount of good. It's faster, smarter, and a lot more friendly than any of its predecessors. Ice Cream Sandwich easily gives iOS and Windows Phone a run for their money, and in many ways, it's a superior operating system than either of them. If there's a bone to pick, perhaps it's with the size, which could be off-putting to some, or the fact that right now the only carrier you can definitely get the phone on in the US will be Verizon. But those are minor blips on the radar, not show stoppers.
Since day one, I've been waiting for an Android device that lived up to the promise of such a powerful OS. I think I can stop waiting now. Full review here.

The Galaxy Nexus is so important again because it's the only time Google gets to dictate everything - the hardware, the software, and update timing. There's also the element of freedom, with unlockable hardware out of the box. I find myself wishing that Google had begun its adventure sticking it to the carriers with pentaband WCDMA support like this phone finally has, as that would've been much more successful than the practice of releasing a few different Nexus variants with different bands.
As far as Ice Cream Sandwich is concerned, it really is Android perfected. Everything is smoother, faster and nearly all of our issues with the OS have been addressed. ICS brings Android into 2012 and gives Google a great platform to begin to introduce new features going forward. Android is now very close to UI performance parity with iOS, which eliminates a major tradeoff you had to make in the past. If you were hoping for ICS to be iOS with a Google logo on it, you'll be sorely disappointed. However if you're a fan of Android and just wished it were smoother and more polished, Ice Cream Sandwich is what you've been waiting for. Full review here.

Make no mistake, this is the best Android phone around today. It’s impossible to divorce Samsung’s hardware from the Ice Cream Sandwich experience, for the moment at least. That may change as more manufactures offer Android 4.0 phones, but for now it’s tough to think of going back to a Gingerbread or earlier device. ICS’ finessed software works beautifully with Samsung’s hardware and – with the exception of the camera, perhaps, which can be a minor blot on the Galaxy Nexus’ score sheet – the sum of the two parts is massively compelling.

QUOTE
While there were some hardware complaints, and even though Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich isn’t the most intuitive or user friendly operating system, it’s absolutely one of the most powerful. Android 4.0 is coupled with the best smartphone Samsung has ever produced and easily leapfrogs any other competitor’s device.
Unfortunately in the Android world, this hardly lasts a long time, and as we have started to see in various leaks, there’s going to be some serious competition for the best Android smartphone in the world over the next few months. For now, though, this marriage of hardware and software, under Google and Samsung’s direction, is an absolute winner. Full review here.
Android Central
QUOTE
Personally, I’ve already been taken in by the Galaxy Nexus’s charms, and have been thoroughly spoiled in the process. It’s the most impressive smartphone I’ve ever used, and after just a few days, older versions of Android already feel ... well, old. Many other phones will get a taste of Android 4.0 in early 2012, but make no mistake, the Galaxy Nexus is the device that ICS was meant to be used on. The sheer speed of the hardware and software, combined with the slickness and beauty of the new stock Android UI makes the device a joy to use. Full review here.
Mobile Syrup
QUOTE
The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android device ever because it’s the best all-round Android phone. Not only is the design almost flawless but the screen is sharp, the camera capable and the software a huge leap forward. Considering it will have a software lead of at least three to four months on any new device being released with ICS, for many people it is reason enough to upgrade. Ice Cream Sandwich is the biggest leap in smartphone operating systems since perhaps iOS 2 to iOS 3 (or maybe iOS 4 to iOS 5, we can’t decide) but it fundamentally alters the way Android users interact with their phones. Full review here.
Mashable
QUOTE
Beyond those gimmicks that don’t work as well in the real world as they do on television commercials, Ice Cream Sandwich’s main claim to fame is that it’s a more-polished version of Android — it’s easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing than any of its predecessors. Bravo, Google — I’m looking forward to further refinements of Android, and if this leap forward is any indication, the world’s most popular smartphone operating system has even brighter days ahead.
Couple that with this gorgeous and subtly curved handset, and you have yourself a winner. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is by far the best Android phone I’ve seen yet. Full review here.

QUOTE
In a nutshell, the Galaxy Nexus is the best phone I've ever touched before. This is easy to say for a couple of reasons. Up until the Galaxy Nexus, my hands-down favorite phone was the Galaxy S II (specifically the Sprint and international versions) and the Galaxy Nexus is rather similar when it comes to in-hand feel and build quality. That said, the Galaxy Nexus goes above and beyond with a modern and sexy design that makes you feel like you're holding the future in your hand. Full review here.

Based on the above definitions you wouldn’t think that Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus (SGN) is actually a culmination of anything good, particularly in the way of an Android phone. Literally, the name alone would indicate that you would have a billion stars connected together. But you would be wrong. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the best smartphone on the market today - bar none. Full review here.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the most exciting Android device I’ve had an opportunity to review. Not only does it feature an exceptional design by Samsung and an impressive list of specs, but it’s also the first device to utilize the newest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 4.0.
It is, without a doubt, the best Android smartphone of the year.

If you're contemplating on buying AP set, jpaq has some advice for you to consider.
QUOTE(jpaq @ Mar 14 2012, 04:38 PM)
It's all a matter of luck, bro. Many people who have bought an AP unit has had no problems whatsoever. However, there are some who have experienced faulty units before as well. To be clear, I myself rather not buy an AP unit.
But do ask the seller about his one-to-one exchange policy. If he says if there is any problem within 7 days, and a one-to-one exchange is allowed within that period, then it is pretty fair for an AP unit. But then, ask him further, if the 2nd unit is also found to be faulty, then what would be his policy. Then consider what he tells you. If you find it acceptable, go ahead and buy it and have fun. Oh, and do get the name of the guy who attends to you, for future reference.
However, do be meticulous with your checking of the unit. When at the shop, check as many things on the phone as you can, at the bare minimum, check for any scratches, dents, cracks and chips. Check for any colour peeling or dis-colouration of every physical part of the phone that you can see, including the logos. Also check the battery cover for any breakage in the clips. Another phone shop seller once told me that he got in a unit from his supplier where one or more of the battery cover clip(s) was/were broken.
Do switch the phone on and inspect with your naked eye for any abnormality in the display. Also see whether the display responds ok with your touches. Then slip in your SIM card and make a few calls. Check for any abnormality in the sound coming out from the earpiece. I have had an earpiece problem before. Not common, but it happened to me. Then ask whomever you are calling whether you sound clear to them or not. Then ask that person to call you back to check again.
After all that, when you get home, do play the heck out of your phone. Go google for apps which let your check for any defects in the display, like dead pixels, etc. Plug in a set of earphones (your fav or the in-box ones) and test. Play some songs through the earphones as well as through the speaker. Listen for any crackling sounds or other abnormality. Make calls, send SMSes, emails, etc. Plug it into your computer to see whether everything is working as it should be. Use the phone fully and even stress the phone if you can (but I don't mean physically!!!).
If everything works out ok, great! If not, go back immediately to the seller. Be firm (but not rude) with the seller when conveying to him your problem(s). If he had promised a one-to-one exchange earlier and you are within the time given, insist on that. I have to add that many sellers would rather not have to do a one-to-one exchange if they can help it. It means that they would have one less phone to sell. But insist on it if he has given you his word. And if he tells you that there is currently no stock to exchange for you at the moment, insist that a new unit should be given to you no longer than in 2 weeks time. Otherwise, ask for your hard earned money back and get the phone from somewhere else.
Honestly, I have not dealt with this directd ever before. From the forums, some say he is ok but could be perceived as a little stuck up. Ignore all this when your are dealing with him. Just be professional and expect professionalism from him as well. Keep it strictly business.
All the best.

5MP S5K4E1G is the camera sensor that is used in the Galaxy Nexus
QUOTE
The S5K4E1G is a highly integrated QSXGA camera chip which includes CMOS image sensor (CIS) and CCP2- compliant image data interface. It is fabricated by SAMSUNG 90nm CMOS image sensor process developed for imaging application to realize high-efficiency and low-power photo sensor. The sensor consists of 2608 x 1960 effective pixels which meet with 1/4 inch optical format. The CIS has on-chip 12-bit ADC arrays to digitize the pixel output and also on-chip Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) to reduce Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) drastically. The image data interface performs data formatting, image compression, Image scaling and serial transmission using Sub-LVDS. The host controller is able to access and control this device via CCI bus. The S5K4E1G is suitable for low power camera module with 2.8V/1.8V power supply.
QUOTE
I get the feeling I could repeat this a hundred times and people wouldn't listen, but here goes:
The number of megapixels on your camera phone does not matter.
Please, read that again. And again.
The limiting factor in your camera phone is the physical size of the sensor and the lens. You aren't going to resolve much good detail past 5 megapixels, AND you will start contributing heavily to noise by shrinking the photosites.
The new iPhone 4S camera is great, but it is not great because it is 8 megapixels. It is great because it's a high quality sensor and a nice lens. It is great in spite of it being 8 megapixels.
I have printed poster-size with a Nikon D2h. That was a 4 megapixels camera. Those were 4 very high quality megapixels with the right glass on the camera. Having more, lower quality pixels is not the right way to approach cameras. From binary vision at Android Forums
alternatively, if you seek to get better photo with the Galaxy Nexus, you could consider getting extended lens option from Photojojo

Insufficient storage space?
QUOTE
Try cloud storage: •Google Music for all your songs needs, you can upload up to 20,000 songs for free. •Plex for all your media files, including videos, photos, audios. •Dropbox for everything else. •Box is similar to Dropbox
Why does this phone not include a Micro SD slot?
QUOTE
There are many reasons floating around, but the reason I’ve seen by at least a few Googlers is that if an app utilizes an SD card’s storage in some way (say, storing a user’s data) and then the user removes the card, that app has to be programmed to handle the card’s disappearance. It’s easier for developers to code apps that keep everything in the internal storage (e.g. the app’s folder in /data/data) than have to handle the presence/absence of external media.
Without an SD card, how can I flash ROMs, back up my data between wipes, etc?
QUOTE
The internal media storage space (for example, the ~13GB left over in the UK model) IS subject to being wiped when user data is wiped (since it is mounted as /data/media). However, custom recoveries have been made for other devices that skip wiping this directory, so once CWM or another recovery for the GN comes out with that feature, you won't need to back-up your media folder before wiping.
What happened to USB mass storage?
QUOTE
Galaxy Nexus doesn't support USB mass storage, instead it supports MTP and PTP which will work without any issue in Windows. However, Mac users will have to use this application to transfer file.

Its a SGX540, the same one in the Nexus S, but significantly higher clocked, running at 384mhz.
QUOTE
Iit's only the GPU that isn't as fast (the CPU is as fast as anything on the market right now, and faster than the iPhone). This will be the third fastest GPU on the market, behind the PowerVR SGX543 of the iPhone, and the Mali-400 of the Samsung Galaxy S2. For most tasks, of course, there will be tons of horsepower available for things like hardware acceleration of the OS, basic processing tasks, etc. These are not generally a challenge to most GPUs. The real question is, how will it handle games or apps like Google Earth or other 3D-intensive apps?
Think about this: when game developers release a game for the PC, do they optimize it so that it will only run on the brand new, top-of-the-line, $600 graphics card? Of course not. They wouldn't sell many copies, would they? Expect the same here. The PowerVR SGX540 of the Nexus is a potent GPU, one of the fastest on the market. Not being the fastest shouldn't be a concern. From Android Forums
Also, if you didn't notice already, games that are actually fun don't rely on polygon counts to sell the game, ie. cut the rope, plant vs zombie, coin drop, etc etc. If the iPhone 4 with SGX535, a lower end GPU than Nexus S, can have great game titles, I don't see how the G Nexus can't.
Food for thought, if the G Nexus can already play 95% of the games in the market (the other 5% being Tegra3 exclusives ), what significance does it make that the GPU scored lower in benchmarks?

Corning has confirmed that the phone does NOT use Gorilla Glass via Corning's twitter account, contrary to what Samsung indicated at the launch party.

As for quality:
QUOTE
Only had a brief listen on mine using some Yuin PK2s that I have.
I've come from an Xperia Arc, and before that I did have a SGS2 for a while.
I've not had enough time to make a definitive view but at this stage, the Nexus sounds more open than the Arc (which had a warm veil to the sound imo) and seems to be able to drive the Yuin's much better than the SGS2 - my ears will give up before I reach max volume this time around.
To my ears, at this stage, it offers a pretty well balanced sound - plenty of detail resolved without sounding overly harsh on the tracks I have tried. The mids certainly sound better than the previous 2 phones mentioned from my recollection.
Not had a play with any equaliser settings yet as I prefer listening without tweaking these in any way if possible.
Reckon it has potential - and its certainly good enough for the amount of listening I do. From WhiteHartMart @ XDA Developers
QUOTE
I have compared the Nexus to the GS2.
1. Don't worry it blows the GS2 out the water. Highs are high, lows are low. Tested with .flac on same settings via power amp.
2. Its the best sound quality I have ever heard from .flac on a mobile phone. I never owned a Nexus1.
3. Speaker is very low. Not as loud as cm7 on GS2 but hey the quality is OK.
4. Gone are the days of the Bluetooth audio crackle via A2DP. It has very good quality via A2DP even compared to GS2 CM7.
If you are interested I tested the phones with some Astro A40's. Not the best for an audiophile but suitable for the test I guess. From NatTheCat @ XDA Developers
QUOTE
The headphone jack out of the Galaxy Nexus is good. Audio is clear, very little hiss using UE-11s.
I find the volume increments are too large but I listen at low volumes using low impedance IEMs. Others shouldn't find that to be a problem. From doubleperfect @ XDA Developers
USB Host Mode?

Yes, ICS supports USB Host Mode. The Galaxy Nexus definitely supports it with its hardware, too, because it was announced that it would support USB game controllers. How it will treat attached flash storage is not known yet but it is almost certain that the functionality will be there.

Install StickMount to enable USB stick mount / dismount. The app require root access.
Facebook?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Facebook won't sync with Nexus Devices because Google and Facebook had a little spat back when 2.3 was released. Whereby Facebook refused to use the standard contact sync API and instead used the one that Google had initially concocted from scratch for them. Then, when Google deprecated that API, Facebook didn’t feel like changing their code, so no more sync.
So 3rd party have developed and an app to enable Facebook sync, try HaxSync. Alternatively, you can flash ROMs that has Facebook sync built-in / fixed, if you have root access.

Multitasking?

QUOTE(mark @ Mar 14 2012, 08:52 PM)
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding running apps, multitasking, background tasks and such.
When you launch an Android app, the task is active/running. You use the app, play with the app, etc.
When you exit back to the home screen (or go to a different app), the app is stopped. This means that the app is frozen and will not run/take up battery/etc. It also means the Android OS can freely kill that task if the Android OS needs more memory for other things (i.e. you opened up a really heavy game, you haven't gone back to that app in a while, etc).
So how does multitasking work? How does your app check for email in the background? This is done by something called services. Services run in the background, you don't really see it anywhere on your screen. Even when you quit your app, it still has a service running in the background. It checks your mail even if you're not in the app, it checks for new messages when you're not in the app. If you're busy downloading something using your browser, and you go to a different app, your download still continues, because the browser is running it's own download service in the background.
An example to this would be WhatsApp. If you don't open the app, how does it check for new messages for you? It runs the WhatsApp background service to check for messages for you. You don't have to open the app to keep checking for new messages, it already runs by itself in the background. The Android OS takes care of what services to run, kill, etc automatically for you. That's why if you use a manual task killer (you shouldn't, btw), after a few minutes you'll notice the WhatsApp service running again.
This, of course, does not apply to ALL apps. It depends on whether the app developer has made such a feature available or not. Let's take Draw Something as another example. It doesn't have a background service, therefore it doesn't notify you if you have new drawings to guess.
tl;dr, to answer your question, you don't have to open viber/yahoo/gmail/gtalk to get notifications. The notification part of these apps are running in the background and are checking for new messages for you.
Also, regarding the ICS tasks button, all the tasks listed there are "frozen" apps... the apps themselves aren't running and aren't taking any CPU resources.

Face Unlock is not the default lock (for obvious reason), to set it up go to Settings - Security - Screen Lock - Face Unlock. You can also choose other type of locks from here. Make sure to improve Face Unlock by using the "Improve face matching" option (Settings -> Security ->) after setting it up.
Face Unlock can be fooled by a picture!
QUOTE
The primary goal of Face Unlock is to provide a measure of security if you accidentally leave your phone on, say, a bus or train. Most likely whoever picks it up won't know what you look like (and so wouldn't be able to get in with your picture), allowing you time to either find it again or remotely wipe it.

Don't worry, it is perfectly normal if you feel that your phone is heating up around the camera area, especially when you are using your phone, even if its just minor activities. (you don't know what's going on in the background).
After all, its a 1.2Ghz dual core CPU running underneath, the heat has to dissipates somehow. Just make sure that its not something crazy like above 55C, anything below 50 should be fine. It is advisable to avoid using the phone when charging.
You can install battery monitoring app to monitor the temperature if you are worried about it.

Rubin is explaining what makes a “Nexus” phone, as opposed to any old Android phone. Basically, Google gets deeply involved in the design, working with the hardware maker and the chipmakers. Rubin notes there are over a million lines of code in Android.
“So much work goes into producing the UI and the changes that you make, and then typically what happens is that the OEM’s put their skins on it and put their own touch. Does it bother you that so much work goes into it and in the end, a lot of consumers don’t interact with the UI as you intended it?”
Well, it would bother me more if we didn’t have programs like the Nexus program. The idea behind the Nexus device is to do exactly that – to give consumers an option to use the baseline work that we do if they choose…the philosophy of Android, the idea that partners can customize Android if they want to, is really important to making Android successful. By Matias Duarte, User Experience Designer of Android
QUOTE
There are Android phones (Nexus). And there are Sense phones (HTC). And there are Philblur Motorola phones. And there are TouchWiz phones. And so on and so forth.
With the Nexus line, Google has its flagships, its models of how its operating system should work. The broader world of Android is more like MS-DOS—the original "weak OS." Every version of the software is retailored and rebranded by its manufacturer. Even some software has to be rewritten to conform to different machines and their varied specs. But what you get is accelerated development of hardware and broad interoperability between machines, which benefits both users and developers.
Why does this distinction matter?
If you're an Android user, you may simply have to accept that you didn't buy an Android device running Google software; you bought a device from Samsung, Motorola or Amazon running Samsung, Motorola or Amazon software. Unless you have a Nexus, Google's more or less invisible on your device. Finally, you're never going to be able to just pull a brand-new software update out of the cloud and stick it on your machine. Not unless you're up for a little hacking. From Arstechnica
QUOTE
There is on one specific reason why I want the Galaxy Nexus so bad. It's everything brought together in a single device, all of the gripes and disappointment in other, non-Nexus handsets that I've had over the past two years and the thought of using Android specifically how Google envisions it. Not everyone will agree, not will everyone understand. But we all have our reasons for the preferences we have, and a run-of-the-mill Android phone just doesn't cut it for me anymore. From PhoneDog
QUOTE
But that is the philosophy of Android, a philosophy that had eluded me until now. To Google, Android is an operating system. To companies like HTC, Samsung, and Motorola, Android is the building-blocks with which they will build their own unique devices.
Google makes Android phones. Apple makes iOS phones. HTC makes Sense phones. Samsung makes TouchWiz phones. Motorola makes MotoBlur phones.
For those of you who don't know, Nexus is essentially Google's iPhone. They have full control over the hardware and software, come out with a new Nexus every year or so, and update all recent-ish Nexus phones with the latest version of Android as soon as possible. By LifeHacker

Root
What is?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
QUOTE
In this post, I’ll be talking about the rooting process of an Android device as far as my best knowledge allows me to. Regarding ‘root’ itself, please consult the many definitions around the internet. In short, it is a special permission granted to a user to perform low level operations on a system (like backing up your Angry Birds game data, or changing the boot animation). 'Rooting' is the process of obtaining the means to grant this permission.
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them.

What it is, is a full backup of partitions on your device's NAND flash (NAND stands for NOT AND, a type of electronic logic gate -- it's like the hard drive of your Android device) storage. Think of it as a snapshot of the current running system, and it can be used to restore that that point at any time. Both user data and system files are backed up, and it's a far cry from what we think of when talking about a traditional backup from other software.

those who dislike the micro lag when opening app drawer, this is the mod for you. After reading that thread, main cause for this seems to be that the home screen is killed to make space for other apps in memory, so there will be times where the home screen requires redraw. What this mod does is make the home screen the top priority in the memory process, so it doesn't get killed easily or not at all.

If you are having problem in applying wet SP, which is a must if you're looking for something that covers full front of the phone, here are some tips written by droid13579
Before you begin, cut your fingernails and wash your hands. This is to prevent nail damage to the skin and minimum the risk of bringing lint, dust and dirt.
Location to skin application: There are few locations are suitable for application: Steamy Bathroom (is a PLUS since steam is capable to trap dust) Bathroom Kitchen Bedroom Study Room/Guest Room
As long you switch off any air ventilation like fan, air conditioner. Lock your door and windows, your fine to proceed. Clean your area, to minimum the risk of bringing lint and dust.
After cleaning your area, prepare your own solution (if they don't provide you) try look for a shallow dish plate or spray bottle. Put 2 or 3 drops of mild soap and mix it with water, and you now have your own solution.
For mild soap, I suggest using baby shampoo like Johnson baby shampoo or any dish wash liquid.
Once your have your own solution, prepare your own version of squegee card if they don't provide you. Any credit card would be fine but make sure they have straight edges to prevent damage your skin during squegee.
Now you have those two main stuffs, time to bring out your paper towel or microfibre cloth. Personally, I prefer paper towel because it is easily available than microfibre cloth, or anti fog cloth is good to go.
Once you have those stuffs, bring out your skin and read their instructions. Some might give tips for application process.
Time for application, first wash your hands once again and clean them with your paper towel.
Before application, clean your device with your microfibre, anti-fog or paper towel to remove smudges and dust on your screen. TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE, REMOVE YOUR BATTERY, ENGAGE THE ON SWITCH!
For Spray Bottle method: Spray your non-adhesive skin for two pumps, then wet your fingers with your spray. Peel your Skin, immediately and give like 3 ~ 4 pumps on adhesive side.
Now place on your device screen, and align it with your fingers. Your skin should move freely for this time. After you have set your alignment, leave your device like 1~2 minutes.
After 1~2 minutes, prepare your credit card or squegee card. Start push your access liquid and air bubbles from middle to the left or middle to the right while try not to move your skin, DO NOT squegee the skin to hard or it will leave marks, or causing miss align.
Keep squeegee for like 5~8 minutes to remove all bubbles and use your paper towel/microfibre cloth to trap any water/liquid to prevent get into the device. After that, clean and damp the screen with paper towel/micro fibre cloth.
Now your skin should be like clean and zero bubbles, if they do have don't peel or being paranoiac. Look for a windy place and place your device there for 12/24 hours. Those streaks, micro-bubbles will dissipated during these period.
AND NOW YOUR SKIN SHOULD BE LOOK CLEAN AND BRAND NEW!
Shallow Plate "Dip" Method for Wet Screen Protector Application
When I said Shallow Plate to Dip your solution is not to immerse your skin to your solution. This might be tricky but if you do it properly it also gives a good look when it is done.
First, Prepare a shallow dish plate fill with water and add 2~3 drops of baby shampoo/ dish wash liquid mix with your finger and you have your own version of solution. Not to forget prepare your anti fog cloth/ micro fibre, paper towel and squeegee card/credit card.
**You may use warm water as an alternative.**
Now, wash your hands and clean your device to remove all those dirt, dust, lint and grease. Not to forget remove the battery, turn off the device.
Begin to dip the non adhesive side, a shallow dip is enough not immerse the skin. If it is too wet, shake vigorously to remove big water particles. Wet your fingertips by dip into your solution and peel it. Give shallow dip for non adhesive side and shake it.
**If you think shake vigorously still look wet for both sides, try wipe on one direction like butter on toast to remove excess water, liquid.**
Immediately, place your skin to your device and leave it for 1~2 minutes. Now your skin should move freely, and try align it in this time. Remember align it with your fingers gently by recognize it front facing cameras, proximal sensors and ambient sensors and front speakers.
After 1~2 minutes, start squeegee with your credit card from middle to left/right then up to down. Don't squeegee too hard or else you will damage the skin. Do this for 5~8 minutes.
**While Squeegee, try damp the excess solution and not to push the solution to cut outs**
After 5~8 minutes, wipe/damp the excess solution with paper towel/mircofibre/anti fog cloth. Your skin should look free bubbles. If you do saw a streaks, micro-bubbles. Don't be paranoiac and peel it, find a windy place at let it dry for 12/24 hours.
NOW YOUR SKIN SHOULD LOOK CLEAR LIKE IT WAS NO SCREEN PROTECTOR, TIME TO FOOL YOUR FRIENDS AND SAID I HAVE GONE NAKED WITH MY SCREEN

want to ask are we able to claim warranty by using 2000mah battery and it cover? after buying it i dint use original battery already, feel want to sell it because feel waste put it aside
Your 2000mah also original right? Just not bought from Samsung Malaysia. Don't see a problem why you can't claim warranty with it.

Oh.
Thx guys and sorry ah.
because my note diff from his nexus. Note vol down + home + Power is different. only 4 lines
ODIN MODE PRODUCT NAME : GT-N7000. CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : NO. CURRENT BINARY : SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
his different... Btw my note rooted, better than unrooted note...
Besides S Pen, Battery and Chipset, don't compare Note with Nexus.
Nexus is much much much easier to deal with. Note so many 'conditions' before one can go custom. Nexus just download toolkit install driver Click click click within 5 mins you can be on Custom ROM d
Note got the EMMC problem. Do anything wrong then Brick. Nexus simply flash also won't brick
Just curious. Since a phone is not that cheap. do you guys invest in any " Anti-theft softwares" , Which one is the best to use in Malaysia?

Time to sell your Note and join us. Seriously... I don't think most Note users are using their S Pen. My friend's note, the S Pen never leaves its 'Home'. Always stick in the hole.
Maybe Note 2 will change this. Since one of the key improvement is the S Pen. Note's S Pen really hard to use especially to press the button Too hard to find the button and also hard to press.

GNexus should receive one or two more versions of major android update. Not sure about 3~4version. There's one news stating that Google may slow down releasing of Android seeing that most devices in the market are still stuck with Gingerbread. Even some recently released device still comes with Gingerbread... So I guess GNexus will still get updates for coming 2 years. Not sure about period longer than that.
Nexus one is really too low in hardware spec. Jellybean can run on it but the user experience won't be good. Look at Nexus S, it's running Jelly Bean silky smooth. From GB 2.3 until 4.1.1, Nexus S is fully supported by Google. It's almost 2 years old device. So expect at least 2 years support from Google for Galaxy Nexus. Maybe longer

Jelly Bean is perfectly smooth on Nexus S. So... I see no reason why Nexus S won't get KeyLimePie as long as Google wants it to happen.
At least 2 years... Who knows after 2 years the minimum requirement for smooth experience grown up to dual core A15/S4 or quad core?? Then Google says:"Galaxy Nexus is too old to support 'Lemonade' 'Mashed Potato' or 'Nasi Goreng'. We'll not be providing updates for it anymore!" Lemonade not food. Maybe... Lasagna? Ohhh... L for Lollipop!!!!
"Android 5.1/6.0, Lollipop" Sounds awesome!

Yes... legendary but the hardware is too outdated seeing how fast the technology moves from Single core 500~600MHz to Single core 1GHz+512MB RAM to dual core 1.2~1.5GHz+1GB RAM within 4 years time.

Nexus one is not updated is mainly due to the storage size, otherwise it would have gotten the update too. Even custom roms for Nexus one is having problem to overcome the storage shortage

Should be 5.0 Since ICS to JellyBean is more towards optimization, not really a huge jump thus only 0.1 increase in version number. If KLP is another similar kind of updates then android fans will get dissapointed
I guess is 5.0

it is compatible bro, try search for SGP Neo Hybrid review video. They mentioned its compatible with the 2000mah battery n cover
here the vidz
I watched that video, as he mentioned will only fit the GSM Nexus, if you buy the original Samsung 2000mah battery then it will come with the battery cover too. you better look careful the difference thickness.
Hi I just buy galaxy nexus today..I feel this is the fastest and one of the best android phone I used before (Xperia x10 mini.xperia play,arc s ,HTC one x)
Just that speaker is habit dissapointing.
Anyway my set is non yakju..its yakjuw Is it really nesscesary for me to update to yakju? I want jb but anyone know when yakjuw get jb?

No need to change to yakju to upgrade to jb No body knows when jb will be released for yakjuw Follow page 1 on how to upgrade

You watched the video and u didn't hear he mentioned he have extended battery and used with that casing just fine at the beginning? He switched back to stock battery and casing just for the review. Try to read the comments of the video too.
Also he mentioned GSM nexus because LTE Nexus is already thicker than GSM version with stock battery if you don't already know. GSM nexus + extended battery + back cover not equal to LTE Nexus.
Anyway, just Google and I'm sure you will find whether it fits or not.
Oh ya, from the link u posted try read Jaxidian's post about his LTE version
it seems like my facebook notification and its LED notification not working on the CNA Nightly 09022012
and the pgm2 slide to wake and unlock is not running on startup even though i put the option to do so

Didn't have this prob b4. Try clear cache n force stop playstore then run again.
Do you know how to get just the launcher? And... Will this affect the stock launcher? Or it's like all other launchers that I get to choose which one to use as default?? I tried pulling out the apk but it won't install

I guess no way just the launcher. TW required system library link with launcher. let's wait someone here feedback will this affected the stock launcher (I think no).
that's why if you extract out only the apk will failed.

It is a totally stock launcher. Much better than vanilla stock but still way behind Apex, Nova etc. In the screenshot posted earlier, there is a view of customization and that's about it, not much can be done.

I've no sound. The way I'm doing is a bit dirty. I just used file manager and copy all the launcher necessary files to the specific folders and set permission accordingly.
Will update after lunch for the files. Need to filter out unused files first.

I connected using my office's wifi also can't get my apps updated thru Google Play at all. I just noticed it last week & initially I thought maybe my connection got issues with it. Sigh..... tried this morning, the same things happened. My staff's S Advance & S3 doesn't seems to have this issue. I tried rebooting my GNex numerous time & still the same.

Just can't update apps, not hardware problem I guess. You can online right? I mean using Wi-Fi. Try factory reset if still can't then... Unlock boot loader flash yakju factory image or straight away go custom Rom. It should be purely software issue if your WiFi is fine. Can screen shot what error shows up? Post here maybe we can help.

I thought at low yat plaza 4th floor the service centre??not sure where the location bocs din send any for warranty b4....
Well, I can surf the internet using data & wifi in my office but can't seems to update the apps I've installed into my GNex. The following below is the screenshot of the error when I tried to update either one of the apps: [attachmentid=3032366]
Have you try searching for a solution over the net? You issue seems to be common for Play store.

I met same problem yesterday but solved with a reboot. Not sure bow to help you though. Btw, I'm on Euroskank AOKP b1 0901, a custom Rom. I suggest you to try a factory reset first. Should solve.the problem. Else flash to jellybean. You won't regret

Ok, I just run this launcher for a while to see if it break something.
Just customized my nova and make it a phone only I know how to navigate. Hidden dock and status bar Use invisible toggles Apps that don't want ppl see also invisible. Love it!
Clean enough? Invisible toggles surrounds the clock.

Such errors usually due to apps your source is not from playstore If apps are from playstore you try clear data at settings/apps/pplaystore n Google services framework If still unable do a factory reset
Wow! I never get 3 hours on screen so far after having GNEX for 9months! Let me try to flash trinity kernel first~
How could that be? My usage now. Unplugged for just 5 hours but I have been listening for songs for few hours and doing some huge syncing, syncing all Facebook friend, profile picture and status for past 2 hours. Did something wrong, resynced twice. Surf a lot and tweaking my launcher. I got it downclocked to 1036 all the time. Oh.... I even did titanium backup once. 2 hours screen on for around 50% battery
I would say it is one of the smartest creation of samsung, I mean it is damn simple to use, brilliant user interface, lovely graphics, brilliant touch and have many other cool features.
i think u should post this in s3 thread.. we are CLEAN vanilla pure~ just stupid samsung meddle with our shipped roms

Are you in right channel? Suddenly pop up and said this
Toshl. Free from market, just need create account and only can use one budget for free user. Sufficient for me. It syncs online, can even access from their website.
anyone has nexus organic files for papago m9? mine not full screen sharing is caring
Papago too old school. Use waze or sygic la. Waze can preload map. Tested, after loading the map tiles, can do offline navi but cannot search poi. Not a prob if you saved it before going offline.

Doesn't seems like a branded power bank. 16000mah can charge for 8 rounds from empty to full. U really need that much?
cant really calculate like that dont forget batt tend to loss capacity when not in use branded powerbank does well on this part, so far i tested some cheap brandless tend to lose capacity very fast
price wise dont forget it takes more electricity to power up 16k batt and lost capacity is wasted capacity, wasted electricity bill as well...
my opinion is cheap high capacity save money when u 1st buy it, but in long term your electricity bill hurts

gotta agree, while most of our phones use lithium batts. the china tablet uses some weird battery.. 1- itz not lithium 2- itz flexible... 3- fully charging it and then powering something depletes very very fast. for a 3800mah battery (finally i know the real cap) it drains alot faster than my nexus 1750mah.. what was i powering? a small fan..
just saying u pay cheap power banks, u get weird batteries.

just bought one cheap 5000mah capacity from brotan last time, rarely used it, used it for backup if extra juice is need when go out...
hi juz flashed to trinity kernel + CNA realized power drain more than my pervious rom its rom problem or kernet?perviously using stock kernel + revolutionHD
I guess no way just the launcher. TW required system library link with launcher. let's wait someone here feedback will this affected the stock launcher (I think no).
that's why if you extract out only the apk will failed.
Lol my touchwiz launcher is gone after I flash euroskank new update. I didn't reflash it. Tried restoring from tiba won't work. Forget about it.
installed, only used once to test just bought one cheap 5000mah capacity from brotan last time, rarely used it, used it for backup if extra juice is need when go out...
must count also heat loss when charging ur device
i think what hurt the most is the electricity bill, which is from the environment not to say, material to build batt is not environment friendly as well charging powerbank do take more electricity than its capacity, if u know physics of charging batt so try to fully utilise power rather than let them lose by heat or whatsoever to save environment as well
Just got my case-mate tough today .. Damn happy with it .. fits well and feels good in the hand. but had to make some minor adjustments to the power button hard cover to let it be less sensitive.. just a community message to all Gnex users : now case-mate singapore got sale going on .. http://case-mate.com.sg/best-samsung-cases...-singapore.html
Wow... Euroskank server is awesome now. Downloading at 500kB/s on UniFi VIP5. It was so sucks
So love my nexus now after using Nova Launcher. Threw away the Search bar (still can access from NavBar pull up action), put toggles to hide the 'Dock' (I rarely use dock because most of my frequently used apps are organized in folders in homescreen) and also hide Statusbar (with toggle to hide it, also can be access by double pressing Home)
The screen area is so much bigger now. Still keeping original Nav Bar height Looks awesome
how about waze and sygic? they should work in most places right?
shud work as many users use it.. im not in malaysia will test when back~

My friend at NZ Christchurch and AUS Perth report hail shower at both place at about same time.
lol no hope for sydney.. i want hailll!! but itz spring and itz cold...
Yea... This morning my friend, a girl quite skinny one, posted saying it's so cold and so windy that she like can get blow away by the wind. Study at curtin one.
Haiz... My friends' family all rich like hell. Go perth, melbourne, new zealand, uk, us everywhere also got. I stuck in Malaysia
I'm interested with the casing, I have a few concerns:
1. Does the screen register your touch at the edge of the casing as expected?
2. Can fit an extended battery or not?
Edit: 3. The casing's surface. Is it rubbery or smooth?
Nope.. $19.90 haven't include shipping which costs an additional $5 , but even so the total will be <RM70 which is cheaper than COD-ing in KL . They will ship it through Sing-pos and Pos-laju which will take approximately 5-7 days. which is okay la..
1) yes, because I am using stock browser which includes the "ring" to navigate and stuffs , when I slide from the side it doesn't have a problem but even so have to get use to the raised sides . ( which I find is good because it kinda protects the screen )
2) Extended battery ar? I am not sure. but I am using stock battery it seems to fit very tight . but you can submit and inquiry form on their website and they will surely help you .
3) the casing surface on the outer hard case is with a raised - dotted kinda texture which kinda makes it rubbery I guess. It's definitely not smooth.

you download to PC or phone?
if using phone download, no problem here. any files download store in /storage/sdcard0/SkyDrive/downloads folder; if using PC, more simple; just install SkyDrive, all files are store in auto-sync folder.

Gonna flash yakju later once the battery is charged, I have a question, if the cwm and toolkit gets an update, what are you supposed to do? I heard that restoring nandroid made from versions of the toolkit than your current one can result in missing files?

Major version updates then yes... You can always keep a copy of your old recovery too. But my backup deletes quite often. Don't really care much Or you can just stick to one stable version of CWM and use it forever.

File expert now sticks in my app list. The first app to install after TiBa after full wipe Other apps not important
Your driver not installed correctly? Or already gone through some process bit it stops there? Your usb debugging ticked? Phone turned on?
yep, unlocked bootloader dy, just stuck at that part and can't proceed with root. Unplugged to tick the box, then reconnected, as in the video on the toolkit thread. Nothing. If I unlocked then driver should be alright?

Why unplug to tick the box? I never unplug in the process. Anyway, you can proceed by rooting and flash cwm with the toolkit.
Ah calling it a day, I tried to manually install adb and got 103 error (device not detected) couldn't proceed with nandroid backup and I tried uninstaling drivers from the toolkit and got "no devices were removed."

You sure your bootloader unlocked? Driver issues as usual...
Not yet charged la bro . This is from 100% to 40% straight after charge .

Sygic got offline map. Waze is free. Your choice. But searching poi in waze requires internet connection. Besides that, navigation is fine. Just that it won't choose the best route based on real time traffic info.

How can you remove google account without factory reset? That's impossible unless you got 2 google account, the first one is non-removable.
Refer first page for the guide. If your phone bootloader is locked, you'll lose everything. Think twice before doing. I never regret going jellybean. It brought Nexus experience to whole new level. Butterrrryyyy smooth

I rate waze and sygic higher because of user interface.Way ahead of papago. But papago map is released by malfreemaps once a month. Sygic map not quite updated. Waze is considered good because users can add poi, most of the recents places are there. Waze also can search poi from Facebook or foursquare, Google maps so poi list there is abundant compared to offline gps.
hi juz flashed to trinity kernel + CNA realized power drain more than my pervious rom its rom problem or kernet?perviously using stock kernel + revolutionHD
Try Lean Kernel 4.3.0?
If really want a lot of battery, I suggest you go for CyanogenMOD 10 ROM. Stable and fast!
Or maybe you can try use SetCPU to check your GOVERNOR.
Turn off your Google's location service and Location & Google Search while NOT using. Save tons of battery too.
Revolution HD is so boring... IMO.
Now, my combination is: AOKP B1 ROM Lean Kernel 4.3.0 Exp 1 and CPU OC @ 1350MHz & GPU OC @ 384MHz and UV

when u undervolt and if it become unstable, it will be the same like desktop, either freeze or crash and if u set those values along with boot, u might boot loop.
However, I'm over the stage of Undervolting ... to me it bring more harm than benefit as u don't really gain much battery from UV (based on my own experience) and if you are hit with 1 freeze/crash/reboot , then all your battery saving is gone
Underclocking on the other hand works better for juice saving.

if like that better dont try undervolt
underclock really helps a lot, although it slow down the operation
thanks for the info, i dont think i need the traffic info since i got no time to look at the phone while i'm driving
You don't need to look while driving, but it can show you 3 alternative routes and the summary of each route before you start. Like route 1 got police and hazard, route 2 got accident, route 3 has minor jam, with ETA of all 3 routes.
I use Papago if I need to go somewhere, Waze if I'm concerned with traffic only (like going home at 5pm during Ramadhan month, served me well), and Sygic is my backup.
*#*#4636#*#* then it will open testing. then phone infomation, scrol down. then open1st page and search smsc. u will have to find ur service. digi/maxis etc. then enter the long code (the one without +60blah blah) with random alpha n numbers. then press update. reboot and try sms.

How can you remove google account without factory reset? That's impossible unless you got 2 google account, the first one is non-removable.
Refer first page for the guide. If your phone bootloader is locked, you'll lose everything. Think twice before doing. I never regret going jellybean. It brought Nexus experience to whole new level. Butterrrryyyy smooth
Well, I did removed the Google account of mine under Settings, Personal tab.... Accounts & Sync, then selected my Gmail account followed by top right corner, selected Remove Account.
Then I rebooted my phone & launched Google Play followed by signing in the same gmail account. Kautim! Solved my problem which I encountered.
I'll try to follow the guide on the 1st page to update my current ICS to Jelly Bean.
i dont think poi is a concern for me if i know where to go but dont know the direction then sygic sounds good to me, so the current GPS apps that is frequently updated is sygic and waze?
hope they dont dissapoint me when i go to putrajaya/cyberjaya, oh man....i hate this 2 places
just come see me, i take u ronda2 putrajaya/cyberjaya...hahahaha
Flashed to CM10 NIGHTLY 20120904. Whenever I at "Choose input method" dialog, and click "Set up input methods", it will FC by stating Settings has stopped.
its true, confirm by samsung store seller.. change to 240 dpi but your lockscreen widget will look weird
is there a mod/hack to change the homescreen widget at the bottom from 5 slot to 7 slots?
i got no problem with lock screen, just that the clock and weather in position is slightly off align to the left and the lock button is off align to the right

Custom Launcher like Nova. Max 7 slots. I still stick with 5
ahhh.. tempted to flash my gnex to Codename Android now after reading it might boost some battery life.. but i'm just 2 days into android and still haven't figure out many things yet! and most scary is void the warranty.. haizz..

whenever u flash anything or root, warranty will be voided.....
however, to claim warranty u can always revert back to stock anytime.......and read more.....

Your unit is from digi? If yes then easy la. Yakju, just flash stock image kao dim.
Stock ROM + Stock Kernel Do the homework yourselves.
I'm stuck with Euroskank AOKP+Trinity Kernel because there's some customization I can't miss in there like the sexy transparent toggles in notification. CNA ones not transparent. Some other reasons too
majority of the ROM are build on CM10, AOKP And AOSP, each got their own good, i stick with CM10 or newer, i tried other ROM but i still feel attached to CM10
Expected... Because you said you've FACTORY RESET and you still can't call/receive call.
So, it's the SIM CARD problem and that's why I told you to rub the SIM CARD(gold pin area) with ERASER, if you do read... It's to check if the SIM CARD is faulty or not.
So tired studying Digital Signal Processing. Linear predictive coding is use in GSM to compress the data from 64kbps to 13kbps+3kbps check bit. 64kbps can now cater 4x16kbps bla bla bla. Digital filtering, system identification, bla bla blaaaaaaa

For many ppl expectation, WP8 failed to run PC program are forever failed device, plus their Market's app/game available still far behind from Android/iOS have today. It's same applied to affordable windows RT tablet, while Windows 8 tablet powered by Intel are still expensive and battery life still a big concern.

All you have to do is shut down the phone. Hold down the volume up and down buttons together and plug in your USB cable and you will go straight to download mode. Oh and open odin before all this. Simple and works everytime.
when i do this the phone straight jump to the green android robot with recovery mode without even showing the white google word with unlock logo at the bottom

but this one only tell the device what to do when it scan that tag right?
it doesn't read the credit remaining in my TnG
none can read the remaining creditlar.. if can then tat mean the dev got keys to the encryption code.. which then means security breach! then result with free credits for T&G.. which means never gonna pay for tolls ever

Well..... you dont expect the NFC tag write/read application to do everything right, it just identify the tag and you can assign certain tasks to it....
which car charger is recommended for Gnex? i see there a belkin car charger with USB port that is suitable for most phone out there, anyone tried that before?

get the plug in charger with a 1A rating, so that not overly power ur circuits.
and the usb cable try get the ones sold by other brands. as samsung micro usb is kinda short, cannot plug when gt casing. dun go cheapo cuz u r charging ur bao bei~(darling )
Huawei quite attractive but no idea bout the phone reliability, never have friend use that. Lucky i bought Nexus 2month ago, if not regret.
i've use huawei X5 before and i can say its not like those chapalang china phones. The quality is almost as good as the big players. I say almost because I think they still can improve a little bit on the classy/finishing touches. But overall experience were great and superloud
Talking about UI. This one is stunning but goddamn app drawer is darn aweful.

Yeah, I am looking for alternatives as well, do they have some kind of minimalist launcher out there?
Any other music player that looks as good as PowerAmp?
I used PowerAmp and it looks so nice, but have to verify it everyday through wifi
What do you mean by this. Never faced such issues at all on mine ? I am using the paid version Bought the app straightaway based on so many good recommendations. Maybe trial version has such an issue ?

Your 2000mah also original right? Just not bought from Samsung Malaysia. Don't see a problem why you can't claim warranty with it.
Besides S Pen, Battery and Chipset, don't compare Note with Nexus.
