Hey everyone,
I have been given a gnex for free by a coworker after another coworker dropped it and spilled coffee on it. It wouldnt turn on and the glass is cracked. Beauty of being the "android guy" at work I suppose. After trying a few troubleshooting steps like getting the phone into download mode, i tried a friends gnex battery in it and it booted right up. Its only the glass thats cracked, lcd and digitizer are fine as far as i can tell from using it for several hours. One 8 dollar battery from amazon later i have a functioning free gnex upgrade.
I thought id be able to live with the cracked screen but i think id like to replace it, i like my phones like i like my women.. Do you guys foresee anything substantially better than the gnex coming out in the next few months? Im up for an upgrade in about 6 months from my droid charge (company phone) and then ill have to convince my boss to go for it...or samsung wants 160 to replace the screen, which of course will be coming out of my pocket.
Would you guys put almost an upgrade fee cost into getting a gnex or wait?

Considering you already have the phone.. you might as well.

Enjoy the free GNex for a few months, then enjoy your free upgrade. Plus, you can sell the Gnex once you get a new phone
Replace the screen...you can sell it for much more, if and when something better comes along and catches your eye.....like the next Nexus!
The GNex is already six months old, and the next one should be out in Oct or Dec
Screen replacement is what...$20-$60? Do it. Save your upgrade for something like the next Nexus.

Unfortunately... no Glass + LCD + Digitizer is all one piece on this phone, i thought the same. It's strange, samsung will fix the screen and pay shipping both ways for 160. The cheapest I can find to buy just the part is almost $200. I would be dumb to not go for the samsung deal.
I think I'm going to call samsung back tomorrow and send it off and then I guess in about two weeks I'll be officially on a gnex Then let the xda way of life begin.

If I was buying today I would absolutely buy the Nexus again based solely off of Dev support.
I think you should fix the screen and enjoy it. $160 seems like a great price to get all of that work done correctly including shipping. Just keep an eye on the phones for the next 6 months, especially the next Nexus line. You could always sell the nexus for some pocket cash if you decide to upgrade.
I would have to agree with the majority. Def fix the screen and enjoy the abundance of awesome dev support.

HAHA! Now I feel dumb
Try buying a second hand nexus for $170. It's basically impossible.
Swypesation
Also, keep in mind you're essentially paying what you would pay for the GNex on contract, without signing a contract. So you're still getting a hell of a deal, even with that screen repair.
So you have a phone that will work for a long while, without having signed a contract, for cheaper than it would have cost to sign a contract. Great deal.

Last week, my SGN tried to commit suicide by jumping face first from a ~4 foot shelf onto the hard concrete floor in my garage. Fortunately the phone survived and was otherwise 100% functional, but the glass was completely shattered.
I was able to use an upgrade I had for another line to purchase a second Nexus at a heavily discounted corporate price.
Later that I day, I discovered this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474979
…where I learned that I was able to ship the Nexus to Samsung directly for glass repair.
So in the next week or two, I be receiving my original Galaxy Nexus back to me in perfect re-furbished condition. So what should I do with it:
Sell it?
What is the market for these phones out of contract? Would somebody be willing to pay ~$400 for a complete SGN with LTE sim card?
Give it to the wife?
Nah, she barely uses the DroidX I gave her back in December.
Convert to a desktop Android?
Buy an MHL cable, BlueTooth keyboard / mouse and a new monitor; and then use for general surfing and billpaying?
Keep it as a backup for the next time the phone is dropped and the glass shatters?
I’m leaning towards selling it myself, but I’m not convinced somebody is willing to spend this much for a phone from an otherwise unknown seller.
Thoughts?

I can absolutely guarantee that the next Nexus will launch at more than $350. Probably more like $500+.
I would have to say yes.
Given that the Nexus S received Jelly Bean, the Galaxy Nexus is a great phone to get for the long run. It'll probably get Key Lime Pie (and a release or two beyond). Pretty nice performance. Plus, stock Android (the way it was meant to be) is surprisingly full-featured and maturing. (And I'm still stuck on ICS.)

I think you will have a hard time selling the current nexus in another 6 months time considering people only want to buy newer phones unless you virtually sell it for nothing, only iPhones seem to hold their value over longer times because their more popular , older android phones don't sell very well.

I just got mine the other day for $300. I wish I got the GS3 instead, but I dont keep phones long so there was no point in dropping $200 more.
Long as the development is still rolling, its never too late for a phone.
How do people figure the S is worth more?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Just had a discussion about this with some friends. One of them was asking if it was worth it buying the Galaxy Nexus.
Before I could answer and tell him that I at first was concerned (specs weren't anything amazing even when it was released, lack of SD card slot), another buddy who had gotten the HTC One X put it simply: "Get the Nexus! Best value you can get for $350..."
And he's right. It's at half the price it was when it first launched, and has been, and will continue, getting updates from Google. And it's practically the easiest phone to unlock, root, & flash, even if you don't like pure, stock Android. You can't go wrong.

It's not about which phone has the greater resale value. It's about which phone has a lower cost of ownership.
Buy a GNex for $350 and sell for $150 a year from now. Cost of ownership is $200.
Buy an iPhone 4S for $650 and sell for $350 a year from now. Cost of ownership is $300.
And I'm being very conservative with my numbers. The difference is probably greater.

This. Not to mention I sold a year old g2x for 200 and they were junk. I'm convinced by this time next year it'll still be an easy sale to get at least $200 probably $250 out of a good shape GSM Gnex.
But resale wasn't the question, yes, its actually the only phone worth buying off contract if your wanting brand new.

I am personally very happy with my Gnex and I do not plan to change it, except for the next Nexus. But I am not in a hurry to do so. It has a great battery life and is butter smooth. I also can play any 3D game.
- the screen could be better but I got used to
- the camera is bad at some light conditions
- the screen isn't scratch resistant (need a screen protection: XO skins screen protector made me happy)
- 13Gb of free storage isn't enought
And well that is all and it is non blocker for me. With the price drop in the US it definitely worth buying it if you "need" a new phone. If you don't, wait the next Nexus at the end of the year.
I got my GNex 4 weeks ago and now I'm kinda disappointed that a new device was released at the SAME price. Has anyone tried calling to complain? Obviously there is nothing that they are required to do, but has anyone gotten anything out of them?
So you're going to complain because they announced a new device an entire month (6 weeks when the N4 finally comes out) after you bought yours?
You're not owed anything. They can't just refund everyone's purchase just because they brought out a new phone.
That's the way it works......you are not entitled to anything......sorry that you jumped the gun. But I agree with the above poster.......

you already got an awesome phone out of them.
Very interesting thread. Even though the responses before mine are true some companies value their customers so much that they do accommodate. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that we'd love to hear the outcome of your phone call come Nov. 14th. Then again 6weeks is quite some time in this particular situation, I'd be even more interested in hearing from a 1-3 week old Gnex customer.
Your phone didn't suddenly lose features or capabilities overnight. It is still as useful today as when you bought it. Why would you expect a free upgrade?
On the other hand, I'm not aware of the return policy for the device but you might look into it and see if it will help you out in this case.
We recently bought both a Galaxy Nexus and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and it is a little annoying to find out a short time later that there are decent updates coming to both these product lines. However, as I mentioned before, they are both as useful today as they were two weeks ago so I'm not going to spend much time worrying about it.

considering pretty much everyone knew the phone would be coming out in Oct or Nov defeats that point.
Not only that, but your GNex is Verizon and at this moment, the only US based carrier for the Nexus 4 is T-Mobile. Are you switching carriers too?

Because of situations like these they implemented a new policy: if you don't have your device back within 14 days (it is not clear whether it is 14 'working' days or just days) then the store will issue a replacement. Keep in mind that the S3 and the GN2 are new devices so the chances of them being RE'd (refurbished / exchanged) are slim. Very likely, they will authorize a replacement. Also, BBY/GS will not call you in regards to this, it is up to you to call them and remind them that you need your phone and that is it takes too long to issue a replacement/credit for the damaged device.
The OP needs to get that Otterbox Defender that is showing up at the Sprint stores.
I'm thinking of getting one too but want to check it out first to see how big it'll make my already large phone look...

cracked the **** out of my screen as well. i have ceramic tile flooring and it completely destroyed the screen on my phone. waiting for samsung to send it back. i had the samsung flip cover on it and im looking at a case for protection
Usually not, but damn. Last week my original GNex had it's radio's take a dump. After 11 solid months, I rebooted one night and had data, but voice never came back. So I put everything back stock and walked into Verizon and paid $15 to have a replacement overnighted to me.
Now, a week later, I've come to the conclusion that my replacement is fubared. I've never seen a device experience sleep of death + turning into an oven so quickly and consistently before. It's good for 30, maybe 60 minutes tops before it craps out. This is awesome when your phone is your alarm clock.
So here I go again, getting ready to waltz back into the Verizon store and do the same song and dance again. Pay $15, get a phone on Tuesday, probably have something massively wrong, rinse and repeat. Hey, devices take a crap from time to time, and luckily mine did while still under warranty, but I'm taking picks on how many replacement units I have to go through before one finally sticks.
My guess is the 3rd replacement is a charm. Who wants the over?
Those of you who have gone through the replacement fiasco with Samsung, how many tries did it take you to get a good one?

Shipping to have it overnighted. It's also awesome that my local store doesn't toss out loaner phones while you wait (It'd make it easy to avoid that whole shipping thing). Maybe I'll call Verizon Tech Support just to bug them about.
no issues at all with mine...
I love Samsung personally
OOOh, free overnight shipping. Thanks Big Red!
Hopefully the next one is a charm because honestly, I don't know what I'd do without a Nexus device on Verizon's network. The alternatives make me cringe.
why is there no option for none
Read the last line of the OP.
I'm just curious to know if getting bum replacements is a "normal" thing because for a phone that went through a "100 point inspection", well, they dropped the ball on this one.

I went through 4 before I got my refurb, then I promptly sold it for a GSM model. That's one thing that I have to hand it to Verizon for, they were really good once I got the 1st defective one. I had 4 at one time, most overnighted at no cost and no fees or holds.
They did try everything they could to not send me one though... Unlike Google who were more then happy to send me multiple N7's.

I had to replace one because of dirt under the screen even though its new and heat issues, the replacement was perfect and never get hot under normal use. I also bought one recently and it has heat issue and poor screen as well, but I'll live with it for the price. Its sort of a luck thing with this device, especially a lottery with AMOLED screen. I was going to get the N4 but it seem to also have lots of little issues on its own, such as getting too hot, I really hate phones getting overheat.I'm still waiting on confirmation on the USB OTG too.
After reading this it makes me think I need to bug Asurion tomorrow, I had to get an insurance replacement so I have to go through them for warranty now, they are definitely more strict on some things but like 3 minutes of complaining about signal got me a new one once already. The current one gets EXTREMELY hot under even normal use, so hot that it is uncomfortable to hold and definitely would be uncomfortable up against your face.

The first time I went in, I was hoping that they'd have one in the back they could swap out for me, or a loaner phone (fat chance, I know). My job pretty much requires a working cell phone. I'm kind of surprised that Verizon was so willing to send a replacement out in just a few minutes. Granted, I don't know what alternative they'd have. There's no real way to troubleshoot SOD issues. My main concern is just not having to go through a massive fiasco running through multiple devices, especially with an 8 day vacation coming up.

Well, if it's still under warranty, I'd jump on it.
Let's see... My first nexus has a seriously bad screen. I shipped it out the same day I got it. Got my replacement (#2) and the screen was worse than the first one. So I sent that bad and got another one (#3). This one had the same issue as OP. Radios wouldn't work....no voice or data and the phone got really hot. Enough to where I couldn't hold it to my face. So I sent that one in and they sent me a Samsung Stratosphere (#4 replacement). Sent that in and got the nexus I currently have making 5 replacements (4 with nexuses). I also went through Verizon...
Good luck
I had to replace one about ~8 months ago for screen ghosting. I was really satisfied with the replacement until now because the ghosting is back on the replacement. I'm contemplating switching to T-Mobile though, so I dunno if I'm going to attempt to replace this one.

Well that sucks. My screens have been great. Well, that, or I'm not picky. The second replacement seems rock solid so far. Good data speeds, strong signal, solid screen, solid GPS and no SOD/Overheating. Maybe I've lucked out...but I'm not uncrossing my fingers.
I've been through 5+ Nexi already. Tec Asurion is totally worth the $6.99 per month! Free overnight shipping FTW.
