GN Broke in 2.... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I broke my phone in half and I found a way to remove the SD Card from the GN...... and I took apart the top half which has the SIM card and SD card on the same daughter board... does anyone have any ideas on how to get the data off the embedded SD card?
Maybe if I had another GN, took it apart and swapped the SIM / SD card daughter boards would that work? I Just want to get all my dataz off...
And the phone is so destroyed at this point I doubt insurance would take it back eh?
If you look at the bottom left of the circuit board theres a plug connection that allows you to remove the SIM / SD card board..... thoughts? Thx!

How did you break it in half.
I Miss My nexus

yea i was mad..... got into it w/ the wife type stuff.
and yea if u have an extra working GN that i can borrow that'd be cool but theres really not anything on it that i need that badly. I did get the pics off of it... the contacts are what I kinda need. I wish this SD card was a regular SD card!

I have a GSM GNEX with Google Wallet and all, but I have to admit, that's a brilliant idea.
(runs off to make a case that holds your NFC credit card so it's not visible)
Instant NFC back. It's actually logical......
It's one thing to have it built into a case where it's not visible but an entirely other to just stick it on the back with some tape or glue ...pretty tacky if you ask me...

Well of course, hence the comment about making a case to hide the card.
Every succesful idea starts out pretty rough around the edges.
Where can we actually use Google Wallet in the US to pay for things? Not even sure how this works. I thought there are just a few places that accept this?
It doesn't replace your credit card right now in the US does it?
Looks like I should upload a pic of my GN with built in hunting knife

Where is the list when you need it?
"Another reason to own a GNex over an iPhone"
I didn't see the list present and I was just wondering....
Was that reason number 5438 or 5439?
LOL made me laugh
i dont see NFC is an advantage over iphone.
i make payment much faster with my credit card than using my phone.
turn on phone > pattern unlock > tab > enter pin > tab > hit send
One more reason
And the most sad and funny all rolled into one...

lol...did I ever say there were 5440 reasons....
and I'm sorry to hear that you all have problems with NFC but it has always worked first go for me. You can set your pw timeout in wallet so you dont have to go through the pin process. I have Wallet in my google folder on the home screen. All i have to do is wake up my phone tap twice and scan. Quicker than taking my wallet out and then my card, and then entering my pin/signing a receipt.

What is the last part after entering your pin? I'm confused by tab and send. I've used my phone pretty much everyday since buying it to pay for something and I have never done anything other than unlock and enter the pin. I usually do this while standing in line and since the app stays unlocked for roughly 5 mins after entering your pin the only thing I need to do when checking out is turn it on. No unlocking etc is needed. Because I can enter the pin etc while standing in line it makes it MUCH faster than using my card.

Is there and app that will...

I think my girlfriend is going thru my phone when I'm in the shower, going to grab and bite to eat, or anytime I leave my cell phone around that gives her the opportunity to look thru it. BTW..I'm not cheating on her.
Is there an app out there that will log when someone uses/unlocks my phone and or sends a pic of her when she tries to access my phone. I don't believe in unlock passwords, cause I have nothing to hide.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

You could always clear your recent app history and check it when you think she looked at it unless she would know how to clear that. Then you would know what she opened too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Get the app with the password but give her the password. Set that app up but use nova launcher to hide it. Give her the password upfront but just tell hr you want a secure. But in all honesty, crazy girls like that are hard to deal with. Unless you're very patient and love her you might want to reconsider. I once got in trouble for two girls talking about my small ears in Korean on a subway. Though I am Korean I don't know the language but my crazy gf at the time did. Un****ing real the situations you can go through with women like that.
...
Best advice is ask her.
Yeah people lie, but if you have nothing to hide she should have put that together by now. If you've proved trustworthy and she still has issues then talking about it would be far better then trying to bust her looking for something that isn't there.
Wife and I have open phone policy. Look at it all you want.

Use face unlock. It's not as telling of suspicion as switching to a pin code, but if you're having to assume she's snooping, as opposed to blatantly picking it up in front of you and cruising around it for sh!ts and gigs(my wife) , then it stands to reason that she's not going to confront you about it, if you just decided to use a "nifty feature you like on the phone"

Nah they said that after they install the part,, before, they told me the price and that they can fix it. So $60 + $150 = $210 ouch!! thats what i was afraid of im willing to sell it or exchange it for another one with someone but anyway i still have hope on a dev to make this happend for the i747 there is a lot of devices that can root without a computer

This. I never have to take the sim card out of my phone unless I buy a new phone. Since I'm not fortunate enough to buy a new phone every week, then the sim isn't much of a concern.
However, I am a little bummed about the SD card slot not being spring loaded. I do take that out every so often to transfer transfer things to it. Maybe the USB 3.0 connection will help with that. It might make up for the fact that MTP is so slow.

I thought I was the only one! my sim card just wouldn't come out and the only way I could get it out was to use a threading needle to nudge it out slightly, then slightly "stab" and pull it out. I thought I had a defective device and it only bothered me knowing that if I were to ever sell it, I would have a defective feature to list.
I never take my aim out anyways

It was the same thing with the Note 2. A pencil eraser will side it right out.

It's actually for replacing the S-Pen tip, but if it also helps you take out the SIM card then that's just an added bonus
