wooo!!! get my galaxy nexus tomorrow!!!

I know a lot of people post threads like this but I'm really excited and felt like sharing... tomorrow, my galaxy nexus will be coming in the mail!! I am really excited to mess around with it!! I'm coming from sprint but got tired of their horrible service and I'm hoping Verizon will live up to their name and provide better service..any app recommendations or tips on how to maximize my enjoyment with the nexus?? Thanks!

If your going to root it do so before anything else as unlocking the boot loader deletes everything. That's my only suggestion. Welcome to Verizon I'm loving my cell provider and my phone.

I agree with this. What I will add is that you should just unlock your bootloader right away. Even if you had no intention of doing so, it would save you a lot of headache if you happen to change your mind. For warranty purposes, locking the bootloader is just as easy as unlocking it.

+1 to unlocking bootloader before doing anything else.

why unlock the Gnex if you have no plans to do anything with it? To feel like a nerd?

Because Verizon never got a Galaxy S2 variant?
^ this is me playing devil's advocate, unlocking the bootloader is the first thing I did

Enjoy. The GN is a great device. My device is still stock and its still great.

I'm waiting my galaxy nexus too and the first thing i wanna do is unlock the bootloader....should i backup something? i guess everything that come with the phone, should remain right? even eventually some photos and mp3 that are on the external (internal) storage?

Hopefully these are my last few days on my desire before my gnex arrives.

No. You unlock the bootloader so if the OP does decide to root, he can just root without losing his app data and then he can use Titanium Backup to backup/restore his data without losing everything because "fastboot oem unlock" will wipe all.
Good try at trolling for calling us "nerds" though.

I remember when I was this excited for mine to arrive in the mail. Its the best feeling ever when you see the fed ex truck roll up.
Make sure you unlock first things first so you won't lose your data if you do ever decide to root or anything and trust me you will eventually.
Also are tons of apps and mods for you to download when you get it. Volume+ is definitely one you need because of the weak stock speaker. Also, for the guy who is getting the unlocked GSM version you don't have to root to use wifi tether ... it will work right out of the box. If you guys have any questions just pm me and I'll do my best to help.

Once you unlock the bootloader, it resets your phone. That's why its best to unlock it from the moment you receive it because you won't have any personal files, pics, settings, etc.

How to use it properly:
1. rip it out of the box as fast as possible.
2. Take out the battery, and the usb cable.
3. Put the battery in the phone (this will take 5 minutes)
4. Fastboot oem unlock

Weird.. vzw nexus unrooted messed up!

OK so everyone.. my galaxy nexus is scaring me.. my phone completely broke off with signal last night (had no connection what so ever. Resetted, battery removed and all troubleshooting) had to completely factory data resetted. Somewhat working now.. signal connection is weak, battery icon says its charging when not on charge, volume up button not working right, battery dying awhole ton faster.
I'm going nuts over this..
Help me.. should I flash a rom and root it? Or should I send it in and get a certified like new "phone" <whatever that is.
Helpsa me pleasea

It is a 'refurb'. If you have had it less than 30 days, you should get 'new out of the box' as a replacement.

That's poppy. Well hopefully the refurb is good. Scared

Is your phone its new why dont you just root and flash a rom /radios / kernel and after all that if still not working, well go back to stock /unroot /relock lol
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3

I'm with the guy over me... Just flash a different ROM, see if it helps... It it's really the radio, then OK, but you should always try :/ Imagine you have only had the wrong radio, or something like that; you didn't flash a different ROM, to check, you sent your phone in, for no reason what so ever...

Never flashed anything before. Just seems like if its doing this I matters well send it in under warranty

Lost phone.

Just lost my phone in taxi I'm rooted also have face unlock and pattern unlock secondary. Is there anything I can do to assure the finder can't use it. Or can I track it. I'm on monthly 4g so no insurance!

That sucks man. As for gps locating your phone I believe that's offered by your insurance, or if you had any type of Norton, kaspersky, trend micro etc security on it. They offer stuff like that. Otherwise you might be SOL. As for them getting in I don't know. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that answer.

Go to the play store from your computer and download "plan b" it will be pushed to your phone and allows you to track it.

I hate how easy it is for someone to look up how to wipe a phone and easily bypass all security. Usually when someone finds a phone, that person doesn't want to know your stuff.

Where's my Droid can also be pushed, and then you can get it's location
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA

did u ever set up Lookout on you phone? it comes w/it.. if you maybe randomly did one day, you can find it with that

2nd to the Plan B. That works amazingly. Also, check if you have a cab receipt. You might be able to use that to identify which cab specifically had the phone. You can call into their dispatch office and ask for that cab. Lookout is awesome too.

I called the cab said he saw no phone. Another passanger could have gotten it. I'm not even going to bother now what's done is done. Thanks to you and everyone for your help. I wanted a new phone anyway maybe my wife will get me one for fathers day. I'll wait and probably get a note or galaxy nexus I'm sticking with Samsung I have a windows and a iPhone at home but don't feel like it I can't go backwards .

I find that the GS3 is not much of a significant upgrade from the GSII. I would much more suggest a Galaxy Nexus since it will still be relevant for many more months to come. The GN comes with pure stock ICS not that TW crap. The GN is almost certain to receive jellybean directly from Google pretty quick while the S3 will have to suffer through what the SII just went through from GB to ICS

Should've went with nexus style all screen.that was kind of the point of ics
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA

I would recommend setting up a pin lock on your next device, that way whenever the phone is restarted it prompts you for the pin. It doesn't matter if it's been wiped or not, it registers with your carrier. Also, as added security, I use Avast and from there I can remotely wipe my sd card and the phone, thus removing any chance of someone getting any of my personal info.

Just a heads up this app does NOT like JRO03S at all.. consistent crashes and a horrible experience.

The game does not like my GNex, constant crashes usually always 20 mins into the game.

I beat normal lol focus on transmission and do t worry about lethality till it spreads everywhere then crank it up and watch em go lol

O.k this is kinda cool, fun to play when you're in a destructive mood! Only played 3 times lost twice on normal but wiped out the world in 540 days on casual
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Have it on iOS but on the iPod it was just too hard to play. Nexus is perfect size.
The trick on the first level is devolve symptoms immediately when they mutate until the entire planet is infected. Store up as much DNA as you can so you can become lethal as soon as you decide to pull the trigger. I had 124 DNA points when I decided to start killing everyone.
Game is superb fun. Great music too.

I've bought a few in-game purchased to help me along, the best one is to auto-pop the bubbles. I've been able to decimate the globe on casual after only playing it about 5 times, I just can't beat it on normal. Its either that I make it too lethal before it spreads everywhere or I make it spread everywhere and kill half to 3/4 of the population but then they cure it.
The game also annihilates my battery, I'm running Clemson's elite kernel and when I have the game fast-forwarded it takes up so much power that even when I have it plugged in it won't charge the battery but just sustain the current level and maybe decrease it by one or two percent!

Yea, I noticed that too. I got it for my Nexus 7. My phone is not compatible for some reason... but look at this... *goes take screen shot*
I don't know what ROM my phone was on, but it was once compatible. It was probably some AOSP ROM.
Right now I'm running GamerMod (TouchWiz ICS) and that's giving me a "Not Compatible".
Also, that Tmo phone was my HTC G2. That was also stock Android. So maybe it has something to do with Stock... No!! That's just stupid because it comes free on the Galaxy Note 2 for Tmo, or the GS3 for Tmo. One of them. Hmm...
EDIT: I went through the reviews to see if it once worked and the previous update used to work. Looks like we lost compatibility. I hope they fix this. I wanna play it on my phone so I can connect it to my TV since the Nexus 7 doesn't have any output methods. :crying:

This sucks cause device still can't dl.....
"Fear and Loathing"

Yeah, I bought Need for Speed too. I used to have a Galaxy Tab that it showed it was compatible with so it allowed me to purchase it via the website, but it wouldn't send it to my stock unrooted E4GT. I wonder if it can be sideloaded if one gets the apk.

Since this thread seems to be still going, I don't think I want Black Ops: Zombies. I heard that multi-player only worked if you were on the same WiFi. That's so stupid. Does someone have the game? Can they prove me wrong please? What's the point of playing a game like that by yourself? LoL!!
