For those looking for a spare battery in the states or one of those battery charging kits, the T-Mobile Galaxy S Blaze uses the same 1750 mah battery as our beloved Nexus! Just thought I'd share.

Nfc?

You know if the T989 battery is also compatible? 1850 mAh with NFC.
From what I can tell, it looks like it. I have a T989 battery, but don't get my phone till Monday. Will update.

Well the nexus battery is smaller but the T989 is bigger and doesn't fit inside the GNex if I recall correctly. I'll have to double check when I get home.

Yeah that's why I would think it's compatible.
On the T989 forums they are all buying the extended nexus battery for the little extra mAh.
Hopefully it's compatible or i'd have a useless battery. lol
Sold my white t989 for a white nexus!

The T989 battery will fit the VERIZON galaxy nexus and vice versa. But it will not fit the GSM galaxy nexus.
@icashyy_ you should have stated it fits the VERIZON galaxy nexus which is what you have but since this thread is talking about the GSM GN you instead have confused some people and hopefully they have not made a purchase over your mistake. Please pay attention to thread titles.

Ahhhh disappointment lol
I already had the extra battery from the T989, lost it, but found it after I sold it.
Oh well. Thanks!
The Blaze does have NFC its identical to the Galaxy Nexus battery except it has a water indicator at the top.

Ah that makes sense, I didn't notice he had the LTE version. I was already doubting my testing with my wife's phone.

Does anyone know if the 2100Mah Galaxy Nexus battery will fit in the Blaze 4G?
I know that it fits the T989, but wanted to know for my T769, Blaze!

Since the 2100mah is a Verizon galaxy nexus battery then I don't think it will fit. The blaze is compatable with the GSM galaxy nexus and vice versa. The Verizon galaxy nexus uses a completely different battery.
This thread is a mess. Why are folks so sloppy? We are in the GSM GN forum. We should be talking about the GSM Galaxy Nexus phone and not confusing each other by only saying 'white' nexus or galaxy nexus.
Is this xda or what? Very sloppy. I came here wanting to find a quick replacement battery for my GSM Nexus but cannot trust the advice in this thread. And the main question is where is the moderation? That is why xda has really gone down and forums like RootzWiki have grown so much. The threads here are increasingly filled with confused misinformation on the one hand and flaming insults on the other (this thread isn't flaming only confused).
Hopefully things will improve.
Do the Blaze and the GSM Nexus use the same battery? YES or NO? Can someone definitively answer that question and no other questions in the effort of cleaning up this thread a bit??
When you are talking about battery size, be very clear about what version of the Galaxy Nexus you talk about. The GSM and CDMA versions have completely different batteries.

This forum is not exclusive to the GSM Galaxy Nexus. Both the GSM and CDMA variants are the intended subject matter of this forum.

Well seeing how the title says GSM and in the OP he states its the same 1750mah battery.... then I think he's talking about the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
He didn't say anything about Verizon. He just said the US T-Mobile Galaxy Blaze has the same 1750mah battery as the GSM Nexus. Makes sense.
Blaze = GSM Nexus

Not gs3,pictures from samsung look way slimmer and whole phone is just a screen with no samsung logo,This is some other gs2 variant of 20 different gs2 phones.
Why make so many variants of gs2?Do anyone actually buys non amoled gs2 versions?The cant be making profit on them,do samsung makes them just to let people know that they can?lol

Except that's a prototype with a generic case to hide what the real phone will look like. Whether or not that's the GS3 or another variant is still up in the air but what's for sure...is no retail phone will look exactly like that.

I'm due for an upgrade from my Incredible 2, which was an awesome phone with some really great devs cooking up some badass roms. I guess my question is do I switch to the gnex, which is free, or go for the sgsIII?
I need a solid device with decent battery and it's used mostly for communication. No games or anything.
Having to give up my unlimited data is making me leary about switching to any phone.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

With basic use, anything around these days will pretty much last you a solid work day, and home play time. Regarding the consideration of the nexus, if you can handle the shipping chaos right now, I'd just get the n4. I'm assuming you have a gsm carrier. Same price, longer life. Big picture all around, I'd wait to upgrade. A15's are here, and they're going to dominate the bar for standard in the near future.
Came from the same phone three weeks ago.
I dont regret it at all. I bought mine off contract so I kept my unlimited data and only paid 160 new.
The phone is way more responsive with little to no bloat, and best of all, the development is based off source and not ports.
Battery life isnt as good but thats because its a 4g phone and the screen is WAY better.
Buy either a GNex or a SGS3 off contract.

The Galaxy S3 is better than the Gnex in pretty much every way. I just don't like the design. You can't go wrong with the handset that sold more than any other handset and that would be the S3.
More users = more community.

LG Nexus 4 obviously is the best right now if you need a new phone, but for someone like me who already owns a galaxy nexus it isn't worth upgrading to a N4 as it runs the same JB 4.2.1 OS with the exact same jellybean features an just as smooth.

How do you guys find the radio and wifi reception on this phone? I've read a lot of mixed reviews.

Every phone will have mixed reviews. I personally came from the htc inspire to a nexus, and have experienced less signal losses in my common areas.
LG N4 all the way if you can get one. Or get a used gnex on craigslist. Easy to handle if you are a ROM freaky.
I don't have the Nexus 4, but I had the S3 and Galaxy Nexus twice, between the three choices, I'm figuring:
S3 advantages:
-best front and rear camera
-best battery life
-best rear speaker
-microsd expansion
disadvantage:
-poorest built quality of the three
-will not get direct Google updates and stock android experience (unless you use custom rom of course, which still isn't compared to the quick updates and the variety of quality roms of the Nexus)
-physical/capacitive buttons (yes its a disadvantage, I said it)
If you have to ask me, I sold the Galaxy Nexus to buy the S3, then sold it and repurchased the Galaxy Nexus despite the benefits of the S3. So there is your answer. Also a used Galaxy Nexus are very cheap now.
Also you are asking in a Nexus forum, so the answer is will be the Nexus, as opposed to asking in the S3 forum.
Either of the two would be great. The main thing the Gnex(on Verizon) has on the SGSIII is that we get our Roms made from AOSP source.

I am sticking with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus they sent me for free in June.
The Nexus4 is not an option for Verizon customers and my GNexus is very nice even on stock 4.1 Jellybean. Not really sure 4.2.1 would be a real improvement.
It would be cool to play with a sgs3, maybe, but no rush. They are bound to get a lot cheaper if they really last long enough and if I never upgrade via Verizon again I can keep my unlimited data for at least the next year and a half...hopefully longer.

It's real and improved, I'm using it right now.
I do flash a lot of different roms, and having ones built from source is awesome. My dinc2 is now running JB bit with a hacked GB kernel. The dev who cooked most roms I use, Aeroevan, is a genius and is now making sgs3 ones as well. That being one reason I may go that route. The nexus seems more feasible though. Especially if I can pick one up and still keep my unlimited data. I only use about 800mb/month because I always on wifi, but I don't want to give it up. Thanks for all the tips so far.
Also, being that so many people have the sgs3, I posted this here hoping that I'd get the advice of people that were a little more experienced with their phones and the capabilities outside of what's sold to them from the provider.

on a purely hardware basis, there is no doubt the GS3 is better. GNex will only have more AOSP ROMs, but better hardware on GS3 + tons of users and a very active dev community = it will last longer. I say this as a GNex owner

Just until GS4 comes around, then the exodus will begin exactly as is happening with Gnex. I recently bought my Gnex just because GN4 was sold out, and I'm still trying to find what real benefits could I gain with these phone vs the Gnex. Better camera? It's a cellphone cam, every cellphone camera sucks big time (aberrations, noise, and so on...). More CPU, well I compare these with Windows X64 5 or 6 yrs ago, when there wasn't programs that could work with 64 bits, there are not apps using a quad core or using 2gb ram, but however, I don't know if i need to sell my recent purchase and upgrade (if it is) to a G4, just to see how in 3 months Samsung announces a new galaxy, or Sony, or anybody else.
So I found an S3 is decent used condition on eBay for 400. Being the impulse buyer I am, I went ahead and ordered it. Right now I'm running stock deodexed 4.2.2 with Franco and some minimal mods. I'm liking it a lot, but I've heard so much about the s3 and its awfully hyped. Is it worth it? Is it that much better a device than the nexus?
Opinions are appreciated.

Depends, although for the most part S3 is better, and in some part it's WAY better (Battery life comes into mind), but if you like AOSP, the G-nex is a better choice, since AOSP support for the S3 (The quad Intl. Variant) is pretty much abysmal, at least until Samsung cooperates and fleece the much needed Exynos documentation.
But yeah, the S3 is far better in most part, the only flaws I can think of is the fact it's hideous, lack of software buttons, and the way Samsung still thinks menu button is still necessary (Recent button is easy more useful IMO). But those are minor annoyance.
I'd say go for the S3.
If it's good hardware you want, s3 is great. Everything else about it is terrible IMHO.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
S3 is better in many parts (performance,storage,battery life ..) ,but I advice you to wait until the release of the S4. Prices will fall anyway
Thank you all for the opinions. I think I will run them one day on and one day off, nexus then s3, nexus then s3 and so on and SK fourth. I appreciate y'all taking the time to give me some input

Can anyone help me out here?
I am looking at getting a Galaxy S2 for my little bro with T-mobile. He is not really big on apps and doesn't care much about Specs really. Just something that has reasonably good call quality, he can text on and download apps on when needed.
It is either this Galaxy S2(which is like 2 years old) or the new Galaxy S Light that is a midrange T-mobile phone that just came out.
IS this still a good buy? It's currently going for free on T-mobile so i was just curious.
Are there any glaring issues with the Galaxy S2?
