I just got the gnex two days ago. yesterday, shutted off phone, applied xo with lots of solution, let it sit for 5 hours. powered it on, made 2 calls, used light for 2 hour then let it sit by the window overnight.
RIGHT NOW. still has bubbles. when making calls, clear crackling from earpiece. dont think its the caller problem too.
running aokp b31 with franco r121.
could it have been the solution？ should i stuff it in rice or something？

My GF has this problem constantly with her phone. First one we took back to VZW and got a replacement, 2nd time about a week ago they pulled the SIM card in and out and that fixed her problem for the time being. I haven't been able to find any rhyme or reason because its an on/off thing for her, and she won't let me root it to see if changing a rom helps. Wish I had more answers for you though.
Just go and get a replacement the nexus apparently doesn't have a water indicator.

I've had 2 replacement phones in my 1st month of having a Gnex.
Just then I had a random turn off. Normal or not?? No rooting, no unlocking fully stock 4.0.2. Wtf?? I just thought yay!, everything is going to OK then bang. Not cool. Might be normal but I doubt it...
Thanks guys.

This happened to me last night.
I wasn't using the phone, it was just on the table charging.
Not sure what's up.
Do we have faulty units?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I guess it depends on how often it is happening.
I've had my phone for two months now and I believe this is the second time it happened.
As long as it doesn't happen too often and not during a ROM flash, I can live with it.
Yeah, that's the problem though isn't it. Random. It could be when your flashing a rom, or in a phone call. That'd be ****.
I dunno, why do these things happen?
Don't Google test things? Its not real stable is it. There should never be any problems if its a full release.

Do you notice if the phone is hot when this happens?

Nah not at all. Its happened twice since in had it. Once when the battery was at like 6% on its first run down of the battery when I got it. Then on it's first charge. It was at about 80% and I was just swiping left and right and I think bringing the notification drawer down (which doesn't work sometimes, I have another thread on that) and it just turned off. I pressed the power button a few times and it finally turned on with a 10% ish battery drop. That's it though, not again yet. May of been a battery conditioning thing.

I got my first Nexus about a month ago. About 3 days ago the charging port kicked the bucket. I couldn't charge it at all. I called Verizon and got a warranty replacement. Cool. Came in about 5 hours ago. The very first thing I noticed upon powering up the replacement was that it had moderate/severe screen burn-ins. As well as random spots all over that don't match the color/tint of the rest of the screen.
So at this point I'm pretty much heated. My first nexus was a CPO (certified pre owned) as well. I got VZW to swap my Stratosphere for it.
Anyway... I figured I'd download a ROM to install until my next nexus comes in (#3) because I hate being on stock. I get a low battery warning so I plug it in. I notice IT'S DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS MY LAST ONE. Any little bit of pressure or movement of the charger causes my phone to lose connection and stop charging..... I tried my original charger. I tried my brothers Droid 3 charger and even the brand new charger I bought when my first nexus started having issues. None of them work! So I tried all of those chargers on my brothers and dads phone and they work fine!! No amount of movement disrupts charging on their phones at all with any of my cables. I tried every combo of charging cable/phone as well as using different power outlets on different breakers. I couldn't believe I got a phone out of the box with the exact same problem I'm trying to return my original one for. This is ridiculous!!!
"Sir, all of our certified pre owned devices pass a 100-point inspection" *cough*BS*cough* If you actually put this phone through a 100 point inspection then somebody needs to get fired because it should have failed the moment he looked at the screen. It's that obvious. Unless they don't inspect the screen - at least when it's on (which makes no sense to me).
So I was wondering if you guys had similar experiences? I knew I was sending my replacement I just opened up back - literally seconds after I powered it on.
Anyways now that my rant is over, how many times have you had to get your nexus replaced before you got a good one?
That sounds like bad luck pal. My own GNex is a GSM one I got a couple of weeks ago pre-owned and it is running fine. It does seem a bit of a lottery regarding the build quality. Does the LTE version tend to have more issues than the GSM?
I've had no problems with my GSM Galaxy Nexus.

I have no idea. Only ever been with Verizon. I just can't believe I tell them that my charge port died so they send me a replacement with a dead charge port. Plus a faulty screen. Double whammy lol. #3 is being over-nighted to me free of charge. I'll post back some more results about that one tomorrow. I wish I had a camera to take pictures of the screen of my replacement. I'd use my other nexus, but as I said I got it CPO which means I had to buy a battery seperate and only have 1.

Had my GSM Nexus for two months and haven't had any problems with it, but I've been worrying lately about mot USB port since so many is having problem with it.
Sprint Nexus since March, got a little burn in near the top of the screen, but haven't needed a replacement yet
No problems here. Received mine in January, bought one for the wife in June and all seems to be well.

No problems for me also.
none mine was great right off the bat
I had the charging port issues with an older nexus.take a small jewellers screw driver and gently pry the small wafer tab you see a hair away from the wall its close to, that will fix it just be very gentle and pull the battery first. I had the same issues until I did that.

I tried that. It worked only as a temporary setup for my first one. Every suggestion on this forum has been tried and failed for me, sadly.

Bought mine begining of July, had issues charging sent it in and came back two weeks later with new port. Strangely before the repair it would charge to 100% and I usually could get around 3.5-4 hrs of screen time and 16+ hours before needing to charge, now with the new port only goes to 92% and screen time 2.5 hrs and about 12 hours sometimes less, haven't changed my usage, really wonder if they borked my battery somehow during the repair. Mine was manufactured march 2012.
Verizon GNex since late April/early May, no issues here.
Once for a faulty charging port at the bottom of the phone

5 months or so Gnex GSM - no problems
This is my 2nd S3. First ones home button stuck down and wouldn't come back up. That phone never got warm at all. I was wondering if this is a normal occurance on the S3. My phone now gets rather warm while surfing the net and checking email for about 10 minutes at a time. brightness is at auto (as was the first one) and all settings are as the first one was. Just wondering if I should do a warranty swap since I am now over my 30 day return mark.
Thank you all
AJ
Mine does the same thing. Most phones will get somewhat warm with heavy use, the S3 seems a little more susceptible to it, maybe because of how it's designed.

Mine will get warm as well. I haven't had it get hot except for when I use it for GPS in my car which is understandable considering I turn brightness all the way up with gps/data/wifi and have it charging at the same time.
Yep perdectly said thats the only time mine has gotten overly hot!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
mine gets warm, never hot. I do notice that on this one it is, as I said, towards the bottom. The first one I had never got warm at all. I'm hoping I won't have to go return this one warranty wise. I love the phone. LOL. When I called ATT to ask them the question they said No it's not normal and to return it, then asked if I have heard about the Iphone 5 coming out LOL.
The chipset is in the bottom area underneath the simcard/sdcard slots.its normal for it to warm up.However if its superhot then no......usually massive heat will damage sone sdcards happens all the time at my store.

I have one day left actually on my 30 day returns policy. Should I utilitze this and get a new one? If so does the white or blue make a difference? I hate returning phones!!!
(Update)
This darn thing just got so hot it shut itself off and all I was doing was texting LOL!
AJ
Mine gets warm when charging or both GPS/DATA are on.
Once, I got a "system is too hot" warning when I left it charging under a pillow.
I think it depends on how much you use it...some days, when I play games or watch Netflix for 20 minutes straight, it gets a little warm.

If it legitimately shut itself off while you were just texting because of how hot it got. Return it now.
That isn't normal at all.

Timing couldn't be better. After a few months of seemingly random reboots (which I attributed to software/radios), my GNex died today. Sitting on my desk charging (and nearly full battery at this point as I hadn't touched in a few hours), and I go to check my afternoon calendar but it won't turn on. Tried reboot with power+ volume, 3 fingered it for fastboot, pulled the battery, even swapped with a spare battery - nothing. Won't even go into ODIN download mode. The good timing? I bought this device 51 weeks ago - yes indeed I am getting a warranty replacement from Verizon to be here tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it's a good one since will be CLNR. Odd thing is that there was no dying gasp, the phone wasn't hot (not even warm), and no indication of any melted or otherwise cooked parts under the battery cover. Strange.

Kinda off topic, but do you have insurance on the phone or does Verizon honor the manufactures warranty and deals with Samsung for you? I'm curious how the process works since I'm guessing you don't have insurance (like me) with the 51 weeks .

I don't pay for extra insurance, but Verizon honors the manufacturer warranty, seemingly without much question. The tech checked the purchase date on record and immediately arranged for a replacement device. I was on the phone all of 10 minutes to get things resolved.

They are real cool about it. Have you tried plugging it into a computer?
Mine did the exact same thing. Not even replacing the battery with a fresh one would work. I then plugged it in and the battery indicator came on. Then I got the dreaded OMAP4440 error in windows, but the phone booted right up and hasn't missed a beat yet

Tried plugging into PC without success. No lights, no battery charge indicator. Probably for the best. My wife's GNex is running smoothly, but about 6 months newer. Probably just had one of the early builds that was rushed due to the initial demand.

You don't realize how defective your phone was until you get a replacement. Previously had a hard time detecting NFC tags unless I hit the sweet spot on the phone perfectly; blamed the Otter box. Now I can pick up NFC tags in a flash. Bluetooth wasn't toggling reliably; blamed the toggle app. Now it works perfectly. Definitely had a bad phone from the start, and my CLNR was manufactured in July 2012 and certified in September; hardware version 10. Loving the Galaxy Nexus even more now!

Hi all. I had my One for almost a month now however just this morning I noticed the charger block is not charging the phone anymore.. At first I thought it was the phone having the charging problem but have finally concluded that it was the block having the problem. Have tried shaking it and can hear powder like sound inside. I wanted to open it but there are no screws to even begin with. Anyone experienced the same problem with the charger? Or could there be a way to restore this aside from having it replaced? Thanks in advance.

Powder? Crack it open with a hammer and post pics. You sure you didn't stuff your stash in the USB port. I hear tweakers do some strange things. Lol
Reminds me of a story: One of our nephews was doing that stuff and cut up his parents carpet to shreds in the middle of the night because he was trying to catch "carpet worms" haha.
I would just toss it myself. But then again I have so many alternative charging cords and "blocks" through out the house. Those things are available at every mini mart and store check stand around here for around $5. The wife bought a pink set up just last week so it wouldn't vanish.

Don't even worry about trying to "fix" it , you're more likely to set your house on fire later on if you don't know what you're doing. They are cheap but most people have 2-5 extra lying around anyway.
I'm a bit puzzled now because it suddenly worked again. Could it be that it overheated and shut itself off that time? But it was not even hot earlier. Almost tried cracking it with a hammer but thought of trying it one more time haha!
