32 GB Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

I picked up my galaxy nexus the other day. I looked at my internal storage, and noticed that I had 30 GB of memory left. I thought that the 32 GB LTE version was discontinued. Anyone else recently get a GNEX and get a 32 GB LTE version recently?

2GB is used for Android OS / partition / etc...
It's like when you buy a hard drive / flash drive.... it retails as 8GB/16GB/32GB/64GB... but it's not the full size.
your phone is proper.

No.
...of the people, by the people, for the people...

I think the OP is saying that he expected to get a 16GB unit and wound up with a 32GB one instead

I bought mine yesterday and have 32gb of storage.

It was never discontinued.

The 32 GB GSM version was cancelled.

I went into my Verizon store to upgrade to one of these today and they said they no longer carry the phone, at all. I guess it was a problematic phone? It makes me angry since now the only option I have left is the Razr... meh.

They still carry it. Your local store may not, but they do in general still carry it.
You can order it online as well.

Are they VZW Corporate stores, or 3rd party retailers?

If its a REAL Verizon store, they're basically forced to carry it.

Last i checked (vz site and samsung), there is no 16gb vzw gnex. There were rumors about a white 16 back in march/april around when the droid 3 was released, but only 32 on vz.

Imagine how much more it would of sold...

If Samsung put in
32gb on GSM version or 16gb with microSD slot......
I would of definitely would of picked up one with 32gb or SD card slot..

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

Same here. I dont miss sd card slot at all.

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.

32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.

Galaxy Nexus HELP please

Hi all nexus users..i am planning to buy a new phone.. i am looking towards Galaxy Nexus) i would like to know can i use this in heavy graphical tasks?is it smooth in games and full hd videos?.. one thing is stopping me from buying it. No sd card problem. is there any differencies between 16 and 32 GB version? google supports the 32Gb one?
Sorry for such many questions)..Thanks in advance

32GB is limited to the vzw and sprint nexus versions
16Gb is the GSM one and the one sold at the google play store (assuming you're in the US)

The only time I've ever seen any lag or had to adjust graphical settings was in the game Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave. It ran really smoothly at about 30% graphics (which still looked good), but bumping it up much above that made it laggy when there was a lot going on on the screen. Every other game I've ever played and every video I've ever watched worked just fine.
I have the 16GB version and come close to the size pretty frequently so I would recommend the 32GB one if you can afford it. If you're interested in flashing ROMs and things you'll want the extra space so you can keep nandroid backups and things around without worrying about it.

You can't use the LTE version on any other carrier other than sprint or Verizon. You only have the 16gb GSM version

I'm pretty sure the only gsm nexus's released were 16gb. google now has lots of cloud options. G+ instantly uploads pictures, Google play music keeps music in the cloud, videos from play can be streamed or downloaded. Google drive can take care of everything else. 16 is usually sufficient.

32GB is CDMA. You get it from Sprint or Verizon.
16GB is GSM. You can get the American version from Google Play. There are some baseband differences between this and world models, best described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345

The 32GB version would require an expensive plan from Sprint or Verizon. (It wouldn't work in his country anyway). The 16GB version can be used on prepaid plans as little as $30/mo. This particular plan includes unlimited data, so as long as you're in a city and can stream media then it eliminates the need for storing it on the SD Card. That makes the GSM a much cheaper option, even though yes, 16GB sucks. I have a few nandroid backups on mine and it's almost always 80%+ full and I have to shuffle some stuff off to my computer.

Hmm.then i can buy only gsm 16gb version...and if i locate all my videos music in clouds then it will charge data when i play them?

Yes, streaming from the cloud will count against data usage. Or free with wifi, if available. Sorry, I kind of assumed most people get either a large or unlimited data plan.
Either way, this is the only model available to buy in the USA that has a chance of working in your country.

Ehm. Okay bro.thanks. i hace another question)if i buy from amazone will i get warranty? If no then what will i do if i get it bricked or some hardware problem ? Will the native samsung centre solve the issue?

Keep Nexus or return and get S3?

I know it's been asked a billion times, but I'm asking again. Hopefully I get some positive feedback. I have an unopened unlocked gnex sitting on my table that I ordered from Google and I don't know whether to keep it or return it and get an S3. I truly believe the S3 will have a pushed JB update from Samsung within a month here in the US. That said, once the S3 has JB, what's the perk to getting a Nexus? The biggest reasons I'm even considering the S3 over the Nexus is the bigger battery and the ability to add an sd card. The unlocked gsm version only has 16gb of memory. I take pics and like to watch movies on my phone. I'm coming from a 64gb iPhone 4S so I'm used to having whole seasons of shows plus a few movies plus tons of big apps without even having to pay attention to my storage at all. Will I have to worry about this with a 16gb Nexus? Did anyone else out there have the same problem and found it to be true or not true after using the phone? Basically those are my concerns. Battery and space. I know I'll always have the most up to date OS with the Nexus but it's like there's a new OS released every week. It's months and months in between updates. I'm not worried about my 10gb of music. I'll stream from the cloud or use Spotify. There again, it's just that measly 16gb of space with no way of making it bigger. Thanks for the advice in advance.

It seems as though you've already made up you're mind that you'd be more comfortable with the S3. I think the best way to put it is if you want a solid stock experience then keep the Nexus. If you don't care about stock and any major updates past Jelly Bean then go with the S3.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

You seem to already know the pros and cons of each phone. You'll be in the best position to decide.
Having said that, I still think the GN is the better choice especially considering the price. I'd use the GN and wait for the next best thing to come out.

if youre worried about space.. get the s3. both are great phones. s3 should get jellyjean at some point, but to be honest its pretty fast on ics so it wouldnt really matter.

BlackBerry.

Just get the S3 if you need that much space, especially with videos.

Like they said, you seem to have made up your mind about this. And in your case, considering what you wrote, what you're looking for, I would also get the S3. As you said, the Nexus has only 16GB (although I think there's still a 32GB version) and the S3 has better battery life and camera (and the speakers in the Nexus are not too loud either).
Recently I was trying to decide between the two, so I asked in this forum and their advice really helped me decide (you can check my topic and read their opinions). And before I asked here, I was actually thinking I would chose the S3. Though my priorities weren't battery life or storage space, but software and support, so I chose the Nexus and I'm pretty happy with it. I love it. It's not the best hardware-wise, but I know that of the phones currently available, this is the best for me (and I'm waiting for the next Nexus).

Do you have a link for your thread?

You can root your GN then use external storage with sticky mount (apk)... There you will have all the space you can buy. 1T external?
I'm using 36G+16G (from my phone) with external storage and is more than what I need. So if you like the GN you have some options.

When you first line starts out with 'I know it has been asked a billion times' do you really need to make it a billion and one? Do you think you will get a special answer that the other billion people did not?
Oh look, what a surprise, it is the same exact answers that you will find in the other billion threads!

Doubtful. The S2 is testing JB right now and is said to get the update to JB so long as everything goes well. If the S2 is still getting updates, that tells me that in a year the S3 will still get updates.

[Q] Is the Galaxy Nexus a good choice?

Hello guy's! I currently have the G2x but I want to change it because I have a lot of problems with it. I was wondering if the Galaxy Nexus is still a good choice because it is only 280$ (approx.) on swappa and it would fit my budget. I have no problems buying an used device. If the galaxy nexus isn't a good idea, can you guy's recommend me something else?
(PS: Is there a way I can buy a new (in the box) GNex?)

I bounce back and forth between my GNex and HTC One S (cost $300).
I like the Nexus better. Bigger screen, pure android, huge development community, removable battery... However, it is a couple years old. Have you thought about the Nexus 4. Not much more cash and definitely a better phone. I bought one for my wife as a gift. It beats the GNex in all categories and you can get an 8 gig for 300.

I listen to a lot of music, and even 16gb wouldn't be enough for all the stuff I have. I want to be able to play games, listen to movies etc. I guess I could put everything in the cloud, but over here in Canada, mobile internet price are ridiculous. That's why I thought about the GNex, it has a sd card slot.

If you need SD I would say maybe look for a GS3. I would love an SD slot on my nexus devices but I'm personally willing to give up that feature for the nexus experience. Since I also have a nexus 7 that I use for movies music and more serious gaming my 16GB gsm nexus works fine for me with about 6GBs free.

My main issues:
- terrible battery life: LTE really drains it
- hard to hold on to 4G reception: in many parts of LA, I notice my phone switching to 3G and back, sometimes dropping the data connection completely (this probably is Verizon's fault, though; YMMV in other areas)
- Verizon doesn't update as frequently as GSM carriers
Other than those, it's been great, but the data connection thing really kills me. I'm guessing once LTE is rolled out completely, it shouldn't be an issue anymore. That being said, I think I'm going to jump ship once the next Nexus comes out!
