So I cracked my screen today . I have a GSM on T-Mobile so I have no warranty. What I wanted to know is if the LTE and GSM take the same screens?

Sorry to hear that man...that sucks...dunno the answer to your question, but then again with such a hard knock none of our phones would've stood a chance I think

Where/how did you buy the phone? If you used a reputable importer you should be able to contact them about warranty repair (you'd have to pay but they'd do it).
There are also lots of people that you could pay to repair.
I'd imagine they are the same.
(also, I use my fists, feet, hammers, explosives, etc. to smash iPhones. It's easier on the Nexus)
I bought it from Craigslist. I will contact the person who sold it to me so I can find where they got it from

If you bought it second hand it won't matter. You won't have proof of purchase to deal with the importer because you're not the original owner.
You can try to contact Samsung Europe directly and see where it gets you. Chances are you're gonna be doing this yourself.
Hi guys!
I want to buy a new phone now. Currently I have a nexus s.And is the best phone that I had ever. I like the support that it have and to many choices that I have with Roms.
What is better now to buy a Galaxy Nexus or should I wait for Htc One X or Galaxy SIII?
Question really is. Do you like stock android, sense or touchwiz? And I think you already answered your question.
Well if u do end up getting a GN deal alert got the GN for 529.99 on both colors for 24 hour sale ....check it out maybe that will help ur decision

I'm along with what the other user said ... if you like HTC Sense get the HTC One Series.. if you like Touchwiz stay with the Galaxy S line
Don't get a GS3 or HTC One and ask for AOSP ICS roms

that's too easy, Galaxy Nexus of course!

This, other than screen choices Hardware wasn't a big deal breaker for me. I want the AOSP feel. I came for a Samsung Infuse 4g. I was tired of waiting around for development. When I was shopping for a new phone I checked out phones the the AT&T GSII, Skyrocket, ect. Sure they had some development, but not too much. So instead of getting another phone where I'd be at the mercy of Samsung and AT&T to get Rom updates. So I made the best decision ever for a phone. I bought me a Galaxy Nexus. Now I don't think I will ever not own a Nexus series phone.
Since you stated you already have a Nexus S, I bet it will be hard for you to got to anything else that will be locked down and skinned. You will probably have withdraws pretty quickly.
In short, unless you are all about the latest and greatest hardware then get a GN, or wait a year for the next Nexus phone.
Yeah I remember when I had a Nexus One and left it for a HTC Sense Device. I mean the Hero and Evo had a lot of development but its nothing like having international users which means more development than just people who have ATT or sprint etc.

You can't compare the device available now to future technology. LOL.
Future phones are always better, at least in terms of specs, so there's no end to the wait. Also, you could never have THE best phone.
PS. If you love the Nexus family then you will love GNex.
I don't mean to intrude on this topic but I am also wondering the same thing, except I'm coming from a Samsung vibrant and I can't seem to choose whether I want to get the Verizon nexus or buy a GSM nexus. Switching carriers isn't a big deal to me. Both seem to have their ups and downs. Some input would really help me decide. Thanks and sorry for hijacking your topic lol I just figured it'd be better than starting a new topic.

It really depends on you and your lifestyle. Like do you travel abroad a lot or do do you hate Verizon (lol)?
If you are in the country most of the time then I don't see why you would go through the trouble of getting an unlocked GSM GNex. They are essentially the same when it comes to end user experience.

I say get the GSM nexus.. well that's because I'm on ATT. And I travel a lot.. VZW pretty much a dead outside the States.. the only thing that sucks is no one sells accessories for the GSM version where I live .. and If it breaks or stop working att can't replace it

What device you get really depends on what you want. With the Galaxy Nexus the hardware might not be as good as other devices, it is miles ahead as far a software goes considering the open nature and dev support. If you don't plan on taking advantage of that and are more concerned with hardware, then get something else. I was tempted by the hardware and went to the G2x and then the GS2, I came back to the Nexus line. I missed the customization I had with my G1 and Nexus One.
While the Galaxy Nexus may be a little behind as far a hardware, but is by no means poor. But with the open software and available drivers, the software is way ahead of other phones.
well lets see the reason I'm debating about the two is this:
Verizon Nexus:
Pros: Service overall in Los Angeles is better. True LTE speeds. And 32gb built in versus the 16gb GSM version. Can get it for $100 on amazon.
Cons: stuck with Verizon and no chance of getting service outside of the US. Monthly bill would be $50 more expensive. And the whole android support issue about source?
GSM NEXUS:
Pros: can use on my $45 T-Mobile plan with 2gbs of data or switch to any GSM carrier I want. Development seems to not be stunted. Never had a problem with service.
CONS: $500 and no local hardware support in case of a problem. 16gb versus the 32gb version.
Lol I can't choose.

So if it costs $50 a month more on Verizon, with a minimum of 24 months is $1200, or $400 more once for the GSM. Not too tough a decision, though the 32GB would be nice.

I would say go with verizon, cause if anything does happen to the phone you'll be covered. The service is great waaaaay better than T-mobile, yea the bill will be a lil higher but you get what you pay for, dependable service. The thing about the support issue is irrelevant, the Nexus(GSM or CDMA) will still be waaaay ahead of any other phone and will continue to get updates rather is be OTA or here at XDA(the dev support on here don't seem like it will die down anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about with this phone)
If I could go back 3-4 months (or whatever it was) I wouldn't buy a Gnex today. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of fixes from google. We've been officially on 4.0.2 for almost the whole time, while they seem to cater to carrier phones more (verizon gnex).
I see no point in getting a nexus if google puts their phone 2nd to carrier demands. verizon gnex gets fixes and more attention. At this point there are newer and better phones coming out, and the appeal of getting ICS first is over, especially when google doesn't release updates.
It's not like the GS3 won't see CM and a plethora of AOSP roms. How many non aosp roms do we have?
I'd wait for the gs3 at this stage of the game. They are talking about a simultaneous world wide release.
Verizon is about the same as sprint price wise. Assuming you aren't stupid enough to pay $20 for testing when you already pay for data. Use Google voice for texting and grove IP to stretch out your minutes. Add a corporate discount and it might be cheaper.
TMobile is a true value carrier but their service can get pretty ****ty.
It don't matter what phone you get.. You only going to be king of your neighborhood/office for only a couple of months.. Then the next big thing is coming.. Hell people already talking about a Galaxy Nexus 2. Thats the thing that sucks about android.. its never one good phone..
You can: Get a VZW Nexus on contract for 2 years and be stuck.. and then have to pay full retail for the next big thing. (Which already seem like the HTC One and GS3) BUT! No one knows if VZW is going to get the Galaxy Nexus 2. or any HTC One device or even a GS3.. And even when the GS3 come out you wont be able to get it on a carrier to probly 3 months after international release
Or you can: Get the GSM Nexus and always sell it in the next few weeks or month (Since the Galaxy Nexus resell value is about $450-$600 on ebay for a used one)
Plus you can get a Pre-paid carrier like Tmo as the other user said n have ****ty service... or just use ATT or rogers w/e you use and save yourself the upgrade fees and signing a new contract

correct buy gnexus already came out with a very outdated gpu. it's gonna feel like a dinosaur in a few months when the new generation of powervr come out.
I think OP should wait for a quad core phone with an updated gpu. it'll way more feature-proof than galaxy nexus.
The Galaxy Nexus will always be a great device to they release the next Nexus..because HTC sense will always suck.. (I don't believe those demos they showed ) and Touchwiz will always be late on updates from Samsung or lack support

I am in need of a new phone, looking to switch to pre-paid Straight Talk, or possibly ATT contract, and say F. you Verizon.
With the Nexus 4 M.I.A. and not being back for sale for another 3 weeks, I am tempted to just say F. waiting for it, and get the Note II instead. Thing is, I have owned all three Nexus phones, I like the Nexus line, but the Note II does look extremely tempting
Or go on Cragslist and pay a premium for a new Nexus 4, but that rubs me the wrong way, paying $150 more for it, than I should be able to buy it directly from Google. But I think LG screwed up big, didn't calculate how many Nexus 4's would sell, and only had a small amount ready at launch. I am curious to see how it goes next month, I bet the same thing, back on sale in the Play store, and sold out immediately.
Note II ? Wait for the Nexus 4 stock to replenish, but afraid it will sell out immediately right away again ? Or Craigslist Nexus 4 ?
I would definitely look at the note 2. Nexus 4 should be a hot seller but its all for that price. Android phones shouldnt be this expensive as the note2 but this is probably the only phone I'd pay this much money for.
Never been so happy with a device like this before. So snappy and yet so so many features. The size takes some time to get used to. I just found out there is a black/grey quadcore s3 lte model being sold in Hongkong which is definitely more to my liking than this giant device. If you have good lte coverage then forget aboutthe nexus 4.

Go for the note 2 lol, it will reduce some nexus fans and hopefully the phone will last longer on the play store lol
You are in the exact same spot I was in... I actually had one on order and 4 days later got a "you are on backorder" email, so I canceled the stupid thing and got the n2. Best decision I've made as far as phones go. I had the galaxy nexus and most recently the One X and I can tell you that neither hold a candle to the n2...I suspect the same with the nexus 4. You will fall in love with this screen... I promise you.

I'm with Sprint and was wondering if I should go for the Galaxy Nexus or get a quad core phone; I'm due for an upgrade in about 2 months but the local Sprint store reps said I could get an upgrade sooner.
I have a Nexus S 4G right now and I love it. I don't think I would ever like a non-Nexus phone (being a dev phone and easy to unlock the bootloader). Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the link joooe. It's 7 in the morning and I'm tired as hell, didn't want to search... My bad.
I think I'm going with the GNexus, most posts are positive.
PS. Dropped my Nexus S in the toilet last week (Don't worry, the bowl was clean lmao), that's the reason I need a new phone ASAP. But... It's still chuggin'.
Everything's OK but I have a feeling one day its gonna crap out.
Yep, it's still a great phone but you might want to compare prices regarding newer phones, like the new Nexus.
The gnex is a great phone. You will love it, and since sprint doesn't offer the nexus 4 :banghead:, I'd pull the trigger on it. Plus sprint has them free right now.

I'd go refurbished phone and save my upgrade for the next big thing from sprint.
I'd have to agree with the posts about getting a refurbished phone. Even check eBay. I got a GNex in great condition for $150 shipped priority. If you're interested, I can get you the seller id so you can contact them if they have more (it was an eBay store front).
This way you can save your upgrade for the next generation of phones in the fall, if that's what you'd like. As far as still relevant, it's a big question to answer. For me, it will be relevant for quite some time, as long as CM supports us. I just updated my Sprint variant to 4.2.2 via Cyanogenmod because I know I'll never see it on Sprint (or at least for several months).
Thanks for all the suggestions! I want to spend as little money as possible; I'm under my fathers Family Plan. From what I can gather it would be around $40 to upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus, or so I've seen online. I'll try to find some refurbs to compare.
Hey folks, is it me or did Samsung back away from giving up former Note 7 owners any type of discounts for the S8? I know it was a rumor and I could be wrong but has anyone found anything? Maybe by calling their Corporate offices? I know they are in it for the money but it would be nice to give us some incentive to stay with them. Even a $50 discount would help.
Mods, please change topic to Galaxy S8 not S7. Thanks.
