Well just wanted to say Hi. Have been reading a lot of threads for almost a month. But now I decided to start posting since I know that I will have some questions soon.

Once you go Nexus,
you'll never go back-us.
No really though, welcome!! and start doing your reading so people dont jump on you for asking questions that are easy to figure out just by doing some reading, and the liberal use of the search function here and on Google

Today was also my first day with the GNex. It arrived from the Play Store and I am so ready to swap out my Evo 3D and Sprint's disappointing data speeds. I am waiting for my T-Mobile sim card to arrive (ordered it on Sunday). My contract ends at the end of the month. I was able to get it rooted this afternoon and I must say that was the easiest rootkit I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing the work you guys have done. I look forward to flashing ROMs on this thing and making it even more awesome.

Its been awhile

Man I haven't been on here in a while. Glad to see everyone still hanging around.
So I went off the deep in I let my wife use the Inc2. She traded it for a iPhone. So I was stuck using my BOLD. Well it made its way into the toilet. I then got a IPhone. Today I traded my IPhone 4 8gb for a mint condition Galaxy Nexus.
Haven't quite gotten use to the size yet. Haven't even got it rooted yet.
Just wanted to stop in and say why hello there.

Well if you want to relive the good 'ol days with your inc2, I'd be willing to trade you straight up for that nexus you have now...

Haha I bet so. I think I am going to hold onto it. I want to learn this device. I will keep you in mind lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
So the verdict is in. I miss my inc2 guys. The nexus is a great device but I just can't get use to the size. I just don't know if I can give up 4g lol. Trying to find somebody local who might be interested in trading. (To the moderators. That was not me asking for trades on here.) I would do the marketplace on here but I don't have a get me by during shipping phone. If anybody knows anyone in the upstate sc area shoot me a pm.

I would rather have a user post a stupid question and learn how to do something the correctly than to have them be worried and screw up... Everyone's gotta start somewhere - none of us just magically knew how to do all of this.
Anyways, enjoy your new phone! When I got mine, the very first thing I did was unlock, flash TWRP and install AOKP. ^_^ Coming from a locked Droid X2, this is like heaven to me.
Me too! Came in the mail today as well. Have you tried wallet yet? I had a S3 and I never could get wallet to work. That's what prompted the nexus.
Have not yet any luck with it ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
No. I'm scared to. lol. I tried it after doing the hack job to the S3 and I looked like an idiot at the store when it didn't work. Maybe today I'll give it a go. Will keep you posted.
Thx

It was already installed when I received the phone. I have the gsm version. If you're on Verizon, I think there is a way to get it installed. Check out the galaxy s3 forum for instructions. Just a note, I followed the instructions there before I returned the s3 and wallet never worked.
Aw well I will look into it see if I can find something about it thanks man

Yup me too, just waiting for them to launch at the stores.
Never liked ordering them online.
Can't wait!!

I wish I could justify getting the S4 after only having the S3 for 6 months, but the only reason I would want it is to test if BT AVRCP works better with it and my car than with the S3 (which already works pretty well).

We might get a full s4 rom ported by this summer so for me the upgrade is just not worth it at all.. the only difference will be better camera and screen but that's about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Even then, that camera scratches easily. People are scratching it already. It won't be so great when its all scratched up. I've not scratched my S3 and it was caseless for two weeks! Stupid oversight on Samsung's part!
Sent from my SGH-T999
Cool story bro
lol jk totally jealous right now
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I gotta say I'm not jealous...I'm content with my S3
Though it's a pretty good gesture, the devs really do a good job here!
I'm quite happy with the S3, the only phone I see worth upgrading to is either the Note III or the next nexus phone (only if it isn't made by LG and the back isnt made of glass). But I wouldn't switch to either devices the second they come out, I would wait a month or two and see what ROMs and type of community both devices have and pick the one that suits me better.
Oh and bikrame I hope you enjoy your S4, seems like there's a few people here that envy you.
|When Emotion Goes Up, Logic Goes Down|
buy me one? lol i will leave when the time is right. i havent even made a rom for this phone yet. (im behind on schedule)
I was totally going to make a thread like this. But I wanted to stop by and say thank you to everyone that has helped in this forum. You guys are all great and I hope to see you all on the other side someday!

ATT bootloader is unlocked but djrbliss is holding the exploit to himself until Big Red drops their S4. Hopefully that same exploit will unlock theirs as well. Should be by the end of this month.
See you around @bikrame. Hope all goes well with your new device and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be lurking in the Int'l S4 section, but might pop in the TMo version for a look see here and there. Keep those knuckleheads in line over there. :highfive:

Goodbye from Justananomaly

Well,
It's been a good run guys. My personal T989 broke long ago beyond repair, and now my dev unit has a cracked screen which no longer functions and they want, with their "Premium Handset Protection" that I've paid them $8 for every month since December 2011, a $150 deducible to fix it.
I'm up for my $50 down upgrade which will cost me $17/month for a few months but my bill will go down $20 because of the upgrade, and I'm going the Nexus route from now on (holding off until after Google IO in case they announce something). I hope that you all enjoy your T989's, it's a really great device. Maybe I'll see some of you in the future.
Thanks for the good times, the minibaths, the laughs, and the dev builds.
Goodbye!
You will not regret getting a nexus. I will never own any other phone.

Have fun with the Nexus. I heard from so many people that the Nexus is actually an awesome device.
@OP Glad you are getting a new device. Sorry about the circumstances that precipitated it though. Hopefully you will have as much fun in your new section as you have had here.
Good luck in the future and please feel free to stop in and troubleshoot in your old stomping grounds when you can.

Giving away gnex

Hey guys.
Recently my beloved nexus' radios decided to quit working. I've tried everything to get them back but the harsh reality is that they just don't work anymore. I made a thread in the Q&A section to no avail.
Decided to go with the GS4 so I have an unused somewhat defective, and clearly used phone that is just sitting on my desk. When I went from my incredible to the gnex, I gave my incredible to one of the awesome devs that made that phone so much better. I'm thinking of doing it again because you guys are so great.
So if you are a dev, contact me and I'll so my best to give it to someone who can truly use it. Whether it be for parts or as a test flashing device, etc.
I can ship the phone free of charge through amazon since I work there so there really is no hassle involved.
Just to be clear, the radios (as far as I can tell) don't work, the charging port is a bit loose and sometimes hard to charge, and there are a few scratches on the screen and around the bezel. Other than that everything works. So perfect for a test device for your future roms.
I really want someone to USE the device and not just turn around and sell it, although I would be none the wiser. So let me know if you NEED it.
Thank you to this community (most of you ) and to all the hard working developers that got me thru the last few years. It's been fun.

I also have an extended battery that I can give to someone as well.
And this is a Verizon model, if that matters.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Well I have one already.
Although, it's the sprint variant.
You see, I don't make that much money, and I got this for christmas, sure it's great, but since it's limited to CDMA, I cannot be flexible with it at all.
It really does suck, I've been wanting to sell it and replace it with a GSM Galaxy Nexus, but no one will buy it, everyone already moved on to wanting the galaxy S4 or something similar.
So I definitely don't NEED it, but it would save me some money with me being able to change to Straight talk.
About the broken radios, I can try and repair it, buy a new charging port, buy a new antenna, etc etc, it'd be a fun project. I've already started some development for myself for the toroplus, and the GSM Galaxy nexus would allow me to fully mess with a semi working Ubuntu Touch OS.
And, if it wasn't given to me, which it probably won't, I actually have a cheap 12 dollar otterbox like case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, I messed up on the order and got that instead of one for my model.

Friend of mine really wants to start developing for phones. And I told him a nexus phone would be the best. But he doesn't really have the money to buy one and neither do I. So he could really use it and he did some development for his old tablet and as far as I can see he's quite good at it. So I think he would be a real good person to have here on the forums.

I guess I should of been more specific on who I want to give the phone too.
It would help if you already had a thread in the developers section.
Like I said, I don't want to give this to someone just to have them sell it so the only insurance I have is making sure you are already a developer of some sort.
