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?

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

Dunno if you heard or read that unlocking bootkoader wipes the phone so be prepared to back up and restore as best you can without root apps line titanium etc. You should do it now. Also biotloader is relocked in a similar way to unlocking forget exact command ....

yeah i know. i always wait. especially since i am an early adopter this time. some of my apps are going on my nexus. i gotta trim some fat and mp3's. and it's fastboot oem lock but i'm sure samsung can still check unless you jig and reset it.
My GN was unlocked out of the box. so look at the lock symbol when starting, when its a bit open, its already unlocked.

Welcome to the club.
I had it for a week. My thoughts.
After a year with HTC Sense (Thunderbolt), I'm finally back to vanilla android, since I'm a former Nexus One owner. Atleast this should get speedy OS updates (even if there's a slight delay compared the to GSM version).
ICS is good. As you install more and more apps, and have them running in the background, it might get laggy, but thats expected.
HOWEVER, since this has the 720p display, the text, especially in the notification bar, looks much smaller (compared to my T-Bolt), especially the '4G' icon or the clock. Not a biggie for me, but the 720p display makes the text and images look much crisper.
If you do use custom roms, i suggest you keep the radio that was installed on the phone out of the box, since i tried the 4.0.4 radios and had some signal issues with it. Went back to 4.0.2 radios, and no problems since.
I have only one thing left waiting from Samsung, a proper 3-pin car dock and a hdmi desk dock.
Unlock bootloader right as you get it. This way if you decide to root and flash custom roms then you can do it without losing any app data because you'll be able to back it up using titanium backup.

I bought a battery extender(1mm larger then the regular battery) horrible got 4 hours. I miss my bionic because of how well it connected to the network.
Nexus G has a horrible time connecting I hope they fix it just like they did the bionic. It is a bit laggy but that's a soft issue for sure Google will fix it.
It seams like its slow on purpose (my opinion)
All and all only way I'll go back to the bionic is if they dont figure out the connection issues.

You realize it's easy to tell whether a phone has been unlocked, right? Potentially, Verizon could see the flag has been set and tell you to go pound salt.
Also, the mic cutting out *COULD* be a software issue. You said it happens to like half the people, but I've never had it happen, and I know 4 people with the phone that have no trouble. That's 0/5, which is less than 1/2.

It's real simple.. I didn't post this to argue with people. If you're willing to help me out then thank you. If not, then shut the hell up.
Look at the topic "microphone cutting out mid call" I never said it's hardware or software. But I do know it's not related to my rom. I've had Verizon replace my phone already for this issue and to be quite honest I'm looking to get a different phone because I'm sick of this one screwing up.
The issue I'm having is totally irrelevant, I just need a screen shot so I don't have to go back to stock 4 days earlier than necessary.

What they're likely going to ask is Android version, baseband, build number, etc. to check if you're updated to 4.0.2 or if something got corrupted or whatnot. It's not like they're going to ask what the kernel version is.

Insert SIM card would be my first action though.
Or even better, charge it for 6 hours then turn it on
First thing i'd do was to just plainly turn it on and use it stock unrooted unlocked.
Though bear in mind that if you want to root it later you have to unlock bootloader which will wipe your phone (yes pictures and all other stuff stored).

As pointed out above the GN from the Play store is the GSM version not the CDMA/LTE version. So if you are planning to stay with verizon you will need to return it and get the right phone. If you are planning to go with a different carrier then awesome, I would suggest playing with it stock at least for a little bit.
Here is the info for getting it set up on a GSM carrier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455014
I was on Verizon for 9 years myself and decided to dump them since they really don't offer anything different for me, from what I am getting on StraighTalk Att. My biggest mistake was not dumping carriers years ago.
When I said , what should I do first I was referring more towards the rooting/unlocking . I am aware this new galaxy nexus is an unlocked GSM phone. I am dumping Verizon and going the Straight Talk route . I have run a Straight Talk sim in my old Atrix with just some apn mods. I'm guessing my phone should work without any apn changes since its fully unlocked and the sim I ordered from ST is an At&t sim. Should have the new gn weds or Thurs.

Congrats on dumping Verizon. They are just the worst IMO. They really ruin the Android experience will all there medalling with the phones. I can see why Google doesn't particularly like them.
You are going to have to change your APN settings on your Galaxy Nexus to get the ST sim to work. There are instructions on their website.
first thing would be....root that beast and experiment with it! its a nexus so
Download mskips tool kit and root it. Then using the same tool kit install touch recovery. After that slap on Romans aokp rom. Use the lean kernel found on rootz. I get better battery life on that kernel.

I actually already downloaded and installed the 7.0ToolKit on my laptop. I'm ready for when my Galaxy Nexus gets here. My Straight Talk SIM, case and screen protectors will all be here waiting for me when I get home from work on Thursday. I see me dragging ass at work on Friday.

i would rather get S3 than this phone.
I just ordered one today too. Price is right to be off contract, I dont want to be stuck in a contract ever again. SG3 will be too pricey for me off contract so this will hold over for some time.
There are too many thread like this, but its nice to see anyway.
I recommend using a ruler to measure how curved the screen is which isn't so much like the previous Nexus S, but still cool.
After that, unlock the bootloader, install cwm, install AOKP rom and Franco kernel. Just make sure you're flashing the Verizon roms.
Touch it

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.

I'm getting the note now second choice eBay or Amazon I've never used eBay but got some good prices. PS hey if I loose the note I'm an ass that phablet too big to loose lol. But will definately secure it
