anyone know any good tasker profile for the gnex?? any profile that is useful for everyday life..or profile to make it like the s3 direct call ant etc.
There are lots of possibilities, what are you looking for it to do.

I'm looking for like s3 direct call from the people app. Like open the app and click on the contact and put at your ear and it call
Or
Turn off 3g when certain app open that doesn't require 3g

It is possible to them 3g off when it get bad signal. I have 3g on when screen on and 3g off when screen off.

Assuming you're looking for battery battery life, I would recommend sticking to 3G permanently, rather than switching all the time (which takes up far more battery)...
There's a profile setting under net, phone where you can select when you want talk to be done in certain signal

but if i keep it on the whole time, wouldnt it use more battery compare to turning on/off
unless turning on/off actually drain battery which i doubt
i'd agree that if you switch it on and off continuously, it will drain more. probably gotta create another connection with the cell tower, rather than maintaining it, i suppose. This is my guess, might be wrong.
But if you floor the accelerator and then lift your foot off, floor it again, that will burn through your fuel faster than if you just left it on
I used to think that leaving data on full time would kill my battery, but it doesn't seem to impact battery very much at all. You just have to make sure that you don't have a lot of things syncing all the time.

I used to be in T-Mobile and switch to Verizon because of g.nexus.... i got the phone last Monday so its been 5days playing with this phone, I've notice that it consume a lot of my data for five days and I check the built in data usage and I've already used 1.12g.. I turn off all my email ,fb sync... I don't watch video just regularly checking mail and browsing some site..I also installed the onavo apps from market to tweak my data usage.
Can anybody confirm that there g.nexus also consume data a lot.

This is a misconception. 4G uses the same amount of data as 3G for the same task. It doesn't matter how much quicker it is. To use more data, you have to be doing more things, not the same things quicker.
I bought a non subsidized GNex with unlimited data on TMoUSA, so I don't even worry about how much data I use.

so in my church my phone has almost no signal but my friends with Verizon and other phones than the galaxy nexus have better signal than that of mine.
what I usually do is just
1. turn the data off or
2. put my phone into airplane mode
when i turn data off, after about 30 minutes my phones gets crazy hot for no reason. and sometimes I have to do a battery pull because it doesn't respond to anything.
today, I put it into airplane mode and it didn't get hot. but after about 2.5 hours, I had gone down from 100% to 75% battery life. also it showed that "media" was 95% of my battery use.(I tried to take a screenshot of the battery but it keeps saying "couldn't save screenshot. storage may be in use"
and my phone was awake the entire time.
this only happens in my church...
does anyone know what is causing all this?
it just seems so strange because I have no problem with my phone anywhere else. I'm running liquid 1.1 and the minimalistic kernel 2.7.1stable if that relates to anything.
no idea, but the power of Google has put an advert on this thread on the xda app for Christian dating nothing is sacred from el goog!

Your phone has been possessed by satanic forces which is why it is happening in church.
Try getting it exorcised or better yet throw it into a bucket of holy water for an hour and of it still works when you take it out you'll know for sure it is possessed.

Both my Verizon Nexus and my girlfriends GSM Nexus both get very hot in the area, the CPU / GPU seems to run pretty warm on this phone.
For those with Sprint Gnex heating up, try going into settings and under Wireless and Networks click more> mobile networks and switch it from CDMA to LTE / CDMA. I know it sound ridiculous since there is no LTE and you would imagine it has reverse affect but many are reporting that this helped with the unit and heating up issues.

How do I get this phone to hold a charge for a day? Right now I get about 6 hours of battery life if I am lucky on decent use.

Use an app like CPUSpy to see if your CPU is ever going into Deep Sleep mode, and an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out why not. You can also look at Settings > Battery to see what's using up your battery. Tapping the graph at the top may give you more details.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Usage varies man .. i have decent battery life so far with Franco 185 linaro with AOKP linaro rom. I keep the governor set to conservative . And I do overclock as much as I can ...might even be better if I didn't do that . But I get around 10- 14 hours on that setup . I text a good bit and twitter occasionally but spend most of my time on flud news reader. If you stream music all day or Netflix or something then you aren't going to get great battery life .
Make sure your screen brightness isn't high when you don't need it to be ..since the screen is generally what uses the most battery .
My best battery was with lean kernel and slim rom 4 ...but since I went to this new linaro I will forfeit a little battery for fluidity.
The key is just to experiment. There are lots of combos out there and they all work differently for us. There isn't exactly a one stop solution . Just tinker and you will find the light
Ps: I have the 2200 extended battery from Verizon . It is a necessity if you wanna get normal usage. They are listed at forty bucks or something through Verizon ...but if you go to the store they sell them for 20.

Best solution would be to get an extended battery to last you the whole day or an extra cheap one to swap with at the middle of the day

Yes, do this before blaming the phone. Also pay attention to the apps you install and see if any of them are causing the problem. Stock roms are usually less buggy than custom roms.

For battery life you could even try a mild underclock. This is will may or not help, depending on what kind of apps (and processor usage) you run on the background.
It's definitely the signal because I experience it first hand when I go back and forth to visit my parent's house. They have atrocious signal reception (One bar for 3G) and battery drains around 3% a minute. It's a lot different when I'm at my place with full 4G signal because I can get 4+ hours on screen time.
It's unfortunate one of Google's flagship phones was designed poorly in signal/battery efficiency. Oh well, what can you do.
