does Galaxy Nexus have Micro SD expansion? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I read from various sources that the GN does not have SD expansion capacity, but on this site it says it's got MicroSD slot, so I am a bit confused.

they are confused too. it doesn't.

unfortunately it does not

No variation of the galaxy nexus has a built in micro SD slot. The front page of that ad is false. Obviously not a trustworthy place to buy from. But if u check the specs page

You can see no mention of the SD card slot.
I know some kernals on some devices use the USB otg feature that allows more memory but it plugs into the USB port.
Hope this was helpful

Btw. Normally you would get blasted about not researching this but it is a legitimate question..

Kogan is a trustworthy site for buying electronics for a cheaper price for us Australians, as most of you probably know we Australians get ripped off by our retailers big time, so sites like Kogan is a good place to shop.
I think this is just an honest mistake by Kogan.

Very well. That explains y I have never heard of it before. USA here with verizon. Our big companies make mistakes sometimes as well

Maybe it is a cheap Chinese knockoff. The GNEX does not have an sd slot.

Totally irrelevant and off point.
It was a typo and this thread, and yeah big companies can do the same. Nothing good comes from putting an ICS render on a Razr with soft keys, AND capacitive buttons. Greed has nothing to do with it. Marketing folks don't always get things right.

Sure.
Of course, even the smallest companies can and will do that.

The GN is capable of reading a micro sd via USB to go.

UK judge rules that 3 Apple patents are invalid in lawsuit against Android!

http://www.todaysiphone.com/2012/07/judge-says-htc-phones-dont-violate-apple-patents/
HTC’s devices don’t infringe four Apple patents for the technology and three of those patents are invalid, Judge Christopher Floyd said today. In addition to the slide-to-unlock feature, today’s ruling covered Apple’s patents on tools used to scroll through photographs and change alpabets, and software allowing users to touch the screen in two spots simultaneously. While the court ruled that Apple’s photo-management patent is valid, Floyd found that HTC didn’t infringe it.“

Unfortunately, denying that something is infringing won't set a precedent (it will only have bearing for that particular device, patent, and situation/implementation), but affirming that it does will.

According to Apple you're infringing if you have a thing that does stuff.

What I find funny is the trial date, March 2014, so what's the point in a trial to ban a part that most likely won't be on the market as a new device offering which would mean sales if any would be nearly non existence. Seriously they'd have to sue for the next two models just to make 2014 a relevant model or even year.

Depends if you get a preliminary injunction or not, which, as you can see from the trial date, would be pretty damaging.
Also, half of these lawsuits are just publicity stunts. By calling the Galaxy Nexus a "copycat product", millions of idiots who haven't even looked one up just read about it and automatically assume that it is.
Because Samsung CUT on potential Apple profit and PASTED it to their bank account..
yeah, copycat..

The LTE version has been a nightmare of this device. Luckily the 3rd one I received works. I consider myself lucky!
The 4G radio's in the phone do not work correctly in a large number of devices. I can only imagine how many users of this phone who do not visit sites like this are dealing with a GNEX that the 4G radio's craps out on and needs reboting to bring it back or the ones who can't even hold a 4G signal.

Yes they do make one but it does not attach like that. It's blue tooth and costs a whopping 60 bucks. But if you're still interested I can find the link for you.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
If you didn't mind rigging it, you could just break off the edges to the iPhone one (i'm assuming it's generic bluetooth) and then glue it to a generic plastic case. You'd get the slide action at least.
I gave up on this a while ago, if anything they'd make something like this for the most standardized, popular, generic, whatever Android phone out there. So GalNex or GSIII....
The iPhone always has more cases than Android phones, because there's only one iPhone, and I hate that. Plus almost all if not all Android phones are not symmetrical and flat like the iPhone 4+ so something like a slide out keyboard would be...more difficult.

Actually... since we do have *the* Google Phone, you might draw enough support for a Kickstarter project. Charge people $50 or whatever, and get one designed and manufactured.
Take input from the Kickstarter crowd, then make it! No ****, this could be something, I mean if a load of people already do this on KS, why can't we for something we want?

There's hope for some kind of jury-rigged thing you could make yourself though. May even work if you have a holster and a thin enough bluetooth keyboard to clip in.
If I wind up ordering a BT keyboard I'll see what I can rig up.
I think I will try to merge a case and a kb when I will have the time to work...
I guess Kickstarting something would be a bit much. I look forward to seeing what you guys conjure up.
Don't forget that clearance is tight between the camera and the hump at the bottom, I don't know if that iPhone one will even fit...

Do you honestly not see how big of a joke it is of what you've asked?
The "contest" is attracting these responses because of the monumental difficulty in the project. What you're asking isn't feasible in the least. Even if someone were able to source the parts, removing the flash chip and also having it register with proper drivers will take ages. Not only that, but you'll have to have any ROM you use custom made for you alone. The task is insanely difficult and prohibitively expensive. Offering $6 for it is like asking someone to build a skyscraper for a fifty.

If it an issue of not being able to reach spots of your Note2.. use Nova launcher and configure it with swipe actions to do things.
I agree.. redundant.
Plus.. do you see how HUGE this case is?? it adds a massive hunk of case below the phone. The pics are very cleverly making that somewhat transparent so it doesn't look like the phone is any bigger.. but damn.. that's HUGE.

But in all seriousness, you gotta agree this is one of the most original and innovative accessories we have seen for Note 2 so far. Also, making case longer has its advantage to lower your grip for index finger to have more room to control the pad. What I would add to this since micro-usb connection already in place, a built-in external battery and to offer a custom case with some bumper/lip protection.
I keep coming back to this to figure out what problem it solves. with one hand I can reach just about everywhere on the screen that I would under normal non-gaming solutions.
Just not the right product for me.
But if you only have 3 fingers or something, great idea!
For those who are curious, this is basically the answer to the Pantech Vega 6, a korean only phone. I'm sort of surprised something like this came out so soon for the Note II, here it is. You may see more similar stuff like this being common as phones get larger and larger.
here's a short ad for the pantech vega 6, but all in korean. http://youtu.be/QwYhG4E3iiY
