Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..
I hve planed to move-on & YES to Either Galaxy S II (OR) Galaxy Nexus..
The choice i hve is Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 and HTC One S. and the choice is due to my budget.
i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..
The problem i found in getting the Gnex is that,
1. its not yet been officially launched in the India, so no HW & Software warranty.
2. Prob in the GSM Network Getting Locked.
3. lower spec compared to the S2.
My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".
The cons i hve with the S2 is ..
1. Poor design.
2. No quick android update... the current update of Android is 4.2 & still s2 got just the ICS. Dono y samsung guys forgot their device after selling them..
3. Absence of dedicated notification light.
So pls do help me buying a correct device...
Either GO for the nexus Device or the Samsung galaxy S II....
Thanks in advance...

It is strange that ur cousin got network locked Galaxy Nexus. Normally the ones that sell on ebay are factory unlocked.
I and several of my friends have GNex for past seix months and its like no issues at all since 4.1.1. If only network unlock is an issue you can buy it from reputed ebay vendor, see his feedback. As regards warranty, I have the serve pro thing but I do not know how would it benefit me if the phone develops some hardware snag.
you can get Nexus 4 16GB from shopyourworld.com for about 26k, agains warranty would be an issue.
But in any case S2 stands no where even miles close to G Nex. Galaxy Nexus is "Galaxy Nexus - sheer beauty"
1) I've yet to come across anyone with any really serious hardware problems with the Galaxy Nexus. From what I've read around, there are people who can and do repair hardware faults with the Nexus. Just have to look for them, I suppose. And software-wise, it's almost unbrickable!
2) Again, never seen this issue either. I got my Nexus running 4.0.4, upgraded to 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and now to 4.2 without any issues whatsoever. Just make sure you're buying a factory unlocked piece and you're all set.
3) What lower spec?! Apart from the camera and the microSD card slot, the SII has nothing on the Nexus! The Nexus even has a bigger screen than the SII. And add to that the fact that the Nexus already has 4.2, which the SII will take time to get, and definitely not officially, I'd think the Nexus would be a no-brainer!
gnex has a much much better screen at 720x1080p where as s2 is 480x800p

software wise dont worry at all since it is a nexus, i assume anyways you will root it ( main reason to get a nexus i presume ) so when you are rooted you will unlocked worldwide so not a problem at all
still if you want to check the phone then the best you can do is make few calls and check if everything is working, other than that i cant think of anything

Atlas i hve made up my mind to buy the Nexus and Nexus alone...
While searching on EBay i found out a ebay seller who lives in my hometown...And he gives software + Hardware support or warranty dono wat he will provide, only if bought if bought around my home town.
But He has only the chic white version and not the black one...
So guys pls tell me some solution..COz i really Love the black one.
And when i went to his shop he also told me that i can get it in person if i pay the cash in hand...
I'm really thinking of this coz i haven't purchased anything on ebay.in.. i'm also afraid if bought in person i couldn't hve a ebay Warranty.. So pls do suggest me which is best.... buying in ebay with ebay Warranty or buy it in person..... ?
And when he showed me a Gnex unit it was sealed with a small samsung sticker with bar-codes it it...Is that it...? is that how i wana confirm the unit is factory unlocked or hve to do check some other thing before buying it..and i also said that my cousin's device got locked only when jumping frm 4.1.2 to 4.2 and not b4.. he said he wasn't came across such thing if will happen to the device i purchase he will provide me with unlock codes...

I do owe a galaxy nexus which I bought from US Google play store so I have a takju device and I have always got updates quickly
No problem with that because its of course unlocked
But the only problem with gnexus is it gets way too hot during charging if I keep data packets on or play games for 10 -15 minutes (sometime even crosses 48 degree Celsius Mark)and I am not alone which has got this prob
My cousin has got one from a store in Jaipur and he also has got this overheating prob while charging
I have googled this topic and found that this is a common problem with Gnexus
And this overheating occurs only when I am using my cell while charging
I am on stock but will now consider changing my kernel to under volt my nexus
Hope this will solve this over heating issue during charging
BTW any one with same problem of overheating while charging?

Its a common issue with all multi core devices! While charging and surfing or playing games simultaneously, your device is bound to get hot.

i would love to try out new roms and fully utilize my awesome i467 note 8.0
this locked bootloader sucks
im willing to even pay .
moderator if i posted in the wrong section , please remove.
There´s no need to unlock bootloader to try any ROM I think...
You just have to check if your Note 8 is the N5100, N5110 or N5120 version, that I think in your case is the N5120

I would pay too. A only partially functional 4.1.2 is not ideal. Screen lag is killing me.
Yes the i467 is a different variation, and I agree the screen lag really sucks. I wish someone could help us.... it would be a great xmas presant ; p aaaaaand id give you a night with my sexy korean gf
It's just rather strange and irritating that there is no support in here for the U.S. variant (SGH-i467). I bought mine from AT&T .. should have look on here first before getting it !!

not sim unlock bootloader unlock 2 seperate things
Guys, sorry but we're all basically screwed on this one! Unlocking the bootloader on this device just isn't going to happen. Even if it did my some miracle, there's no one that wants to build a custom rom for it. There's barely anyone that wants to build a rom for the wifi version! This device never really just caught on in popularity like some others. My advice is to just take the bite like I did and get something else. I'm sure you could find someone out there that doesn't care about an unlocked bootloader that'll take it off your hands. It does suck but that's just the way it is.
Trust me, I learned the hard way too!!! If it helps I would recommend a Nexus 7 2013. It's not to expensive and there are tons of roms out there. Even if you don't root it or unlock it it's already updated to 4.4.2. Well, anyways, everyone have a Merry Christmas!!!!!

Dear friends, I'm from Brazil.
I bought a Meizu MX2 in Aliexpress because I thought to be an excellent phone, but my joy lasted only 2 days. Once he arrived I made all settings and started using it. The next day the Meizu launched Flyme OS 3.2 for MX2, I did not think twice and I did the upgrade. Soon after restarting it a message appeared on the screen saying that the phone was locked and asking for a password for an account Flyme, I do not know. Since then I can no longer use the phone.
Can anyone help me? I want to downgrade or unlock it.
Thank you

Anyone?
Hi, does anyone know a place in Europe where I can send my Nexus 7 (2013) to be repaired? It has a cracked screen(I have know idea how, haven't dropped it yet.) I've had it since Christmas and was really sad to see it cracked. Please tell my a website of a place where they fix devices like my Nexus 7.

I still have 1 set gold color BNIB but I'm in Indonesia
