I'm trying to seize the android market's sale but the problem is that my GN isn't rooted and i don't plan to any time soon so i can't access the paid apps in the market in my country. I tried using my rooted N1 and it worked for some apps but non of were on the sale! Every discounted app (10 cents) is incompatible with my N1 .
Iv'e tried changing my sim to a UK sim but no luck . I got that idea from this old thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699693
If you have any solutions that would be much appreciated.
change your N1 build.prop to show its a Galaxy nexus device.
I don't have the build.prop handy, but google is your friend.
I downloaded a handful of the sale apps on my N1... Odd that yours wouldn't.

Thank you for your replies, oddly my N1 decided to install the paid apps so I'm getting all of them .
So with the recent announcement of Ubuntu on phones and my increased interest in android development I want to get a Galaxy Nexus. I found a few on ebay and such, but I wanted to get input from the GNex community on a few things. How much is reasonable to pay for a new or lightly used GNex? Also how much longer will the GNex be a current device with an active community since the Nexus 4 is now out?

Amazon has it for $339 today with prime shipping. Still a great phone.

I am developer too and I got my Gnex 2 months ago, because that phone is heaven for developers. I used to struggle with Galaxy S and few xperias, even One X. But still, Gnex is still king of androids. S3 is my secondary phone, but I prefer Gnex much more, its my prime phone. You can keep with Gnex for another year for sure, except you really want max fps for future games. Otherwise, the phone is great
Cool, thanks for the input. I currently own a HTC Rezound and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, both of which I have rooted and played with custom ROM's. Lately though I have wanted to do my own developing and from what I understand Nexus devices are some of the best for that. An extra bonus is that Ubuntu will be coming soon!

Will this model work with Verizon? I was looking for the SCH-i515 or SCH-i516 which are the Verison 4G models.
GT-I9250: Unlocked version sold on Play Store
SCH-I515 or SCH-I516: Verizon 4G version
I'm new to Nexus devices: Does the Verizon version get automatic updates by Google or is that only the Play Store version. Will my 4G Verizon SIM work in the unlocked version (everything but 4G)?

No. You need a Toro GNex.
Hey Ginger,
The Nexus is an awesome phone, and I to am excited for the Ubuntu phone developments. It will be while before I give up my Android, however, :laugh:
Anyways in regards to your question, I found this for you:
slickdeals.net/f/5748592-Factory-Recertified-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-SCH-I515-Verizon-4G-LTE-220-00
I have seen daily steals around, but I have never used it before. I would research some reviews of the site. However, slickdeals is one of the most credible deal websites out there. I would browse there every now and then.
Hope this helps or at least gets you some more information!
Thank you guys again. I will be sure to look at that sight on occasion.
You could also look on Swappa for deals on android phones. It seems like they have some pretty decent deals.
Whats your opinion on new versus manufacture refurbished devices?
Keep in mind that the chances for Toro to get a running build of Ubuntu is very slim, the radio is very different and it may take a while for developers to get it working weigh all the features

On craigslist Verizon go for $150-200, GSM for $200-250. Can even buy a brand new one for those prices
Just an update,
eBay has it available for 189 now.
slickdeals.net/f/5796776-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-SCH-i515-Verizon-32GB-189-95-refurbished-via-eBay
Good luck!

Same phone i had until tuesday. Bought a 32gb model off my friend for 125 bucks when he got his DNA. It's a sideways move aside from the roms are much better (no funky bluetooth if you run rom x, no volume issues with rom y) and the signal seems a little weaker on it, i used to get 4g in my basement, now i dont. But im very happy with it, since i can do whatever i want on it.

The android ril is open source for toro. Also any assumption toro will be easy or hard needs to wait until we see source code as Ubuntu may use androids ril or their own. The ril is just the layer between the os and radio firmware. I'd think a ril port to ubuntu shouldn't be too difficult.

Checked my local Craigslist (SF Bay Area):
Sprint: $160 - 200
Verizon: $190 - 250
GSM: $200 - 370
Also noticed several postings with the deliberately misleading name "Samsung Galaxy Nexus S" (doesn't exist, but they're trying to sell you a Nexus S, not GNex), and some sketchy ones that are probably stolen phones. Be careful with those (a phone reported stolen to Sprint or Verizon will have its ESN blacklisted and service unusable).
The GSM high end looks expensive, but since it's no longer available on Play Store (was $350 new), buying a new one costs ~$400 from third party now (Amazon, Expansys).
There was also a deal on Verizon GNex off-contract for $230 few months ago, but that's gone as well. Knowing this, you might be able to bargain with CL sellers though.
Thank You 1st.
Trying to find a user manual for T-mobile Galaxy S III. Not sure if I'm missing it on this site / or my eye-site is worse than I thought .
T-mobiles site shows that its not available yet . Just trying to understand the basics of the phone - 2nd smartphone since the GSII was replaced 7 times and never actually used it for anything other than basic calls -- so I finally got the SG III, so I'm a newnewbe, and I can screw up my pc just by turning it on. hit your 50's and learning curve is more like trying to fish in the desert ! Thanks again. PR

You should get the manual from the above link.
Also suggest you to download Samsung Galaxy SIII user digest from the play store. The app will explain all the inbuilt features of your phone.

Looking for someone who can port the touchless control of MotoX onto Galaxy S2 I9100.
I have tried Audiomonitor.apk released by Moto as well as the one posted here ..they dont install or even if they do, nothing happens.
Have also tried Open Mic+, which is a decent attempt, but doesnt work well when device is locked and need to keep it close to mouth..
Can any other developer work on porting it to Galaxy S2. I know the one on Motox requires snapdragon800, but isnt there a way to bypass it to use Exynos instead..
I am all game for any testing required on my phone..
After further searching, got couple of alternatives. Will be testing them in the coming days. Closing the request thread.
For benefit of others, I am testing Cyman Mark 2, and utter!
I am really expecting this. What happened to hoovering app?

Almost 2 years ago, I had an HTC Inspire. Earlier this year, I moved up to a Galaxy Note II..got it rooted and have been loving it ever since.
However, I'd really like to find an app like Boot Manager. I bought the app when I had the Inspire, but it does not work on the Note II. I tried emailing them...a month ago and no response. Now, reading the reviews, it seems they stopped updating it and just let the app die. Are there any other apps out there similar to Boot Manager for Note II?
I tried asking in the Q&A....129 views and 0 responses.
There isnt anything like that for most phones. Best you can do on the note is dual boot

Thanks hun, I may try that soon....after I find 2 ROMs I absolutely love
I'm guessing all the bad reviews woke up the BM devs because they updated their description:
"We apologize for letting this app die we became very busy with other works, however, starting today (November 7th) we have began to work on this project again. We plan to update soon and will be working on the following: support for Galaxy Nexus JB, and Samsung Galaxy S3 support. If you would like to suggest other points to work on follow us at @init2winitapps on twitter and mention us to contact us."
Which is good news for those people but bad for the ones not on the list....ah well...it was a $3 app that served it's purpose.
