What should i check - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, hope you all doing fine.
Apology if this is not the right thread to ask but as it mentions Q&A that's why asking here.
I need some suggestions as i am about to buy a used Samsung galaxy nexus, so was wondering which things should i check before buying, you know to satisfy me that this is not a faulty phone.
As the guy selling has mentioned him self that you can check before buying so i was guessing its better to ask from the users.

The usual. USB port, headphone jack, buttons and display.

Anything from softwares point of view ?

Software can be changed. Even if something were wrong its not like it couldn't be fixed in 5 minutes.

Why on earth nexus one is more expensive than desire??

WhY oN eArth nExuS oNe iS moRe eXpeNsiVe tHan dEsiRe??
pLeaSe dOn'T tYpe liKE THat! it is unbelievely hard to read.. anyways.. its cos its has a "Google" logo on the back apart from that it is not better in any way or form well, I do prefer the look, and it actually has a track ball which I'd love to have in my Desire!

+1 on not doing the FuNkY typing!
Personally, I paid more for my desire than the nexus one. Obviously market conditions have changed. There is no longer an AMOLED issue on Desire because of SLCD. Nexus One on the other hand, doesnt use SLCD and has been discontinued, making it rarer and harder to acquire.
You'd expect it to be more expensive now

No - the Nexus One hasn't been discontinued!
Google closed their online "mobile phone" store, but the Nexus One is still being manufactured and can be purchased as the official Android Dev phone and direct from carriers such as Vodafone in the UK.
In addition, it has also moved to SLCD.
On to the OPs question - the slight hardware diffences between the Desire and Nexus One will account for some of it (e.g. noise cancelling microphone on the Nexus, trackball, capacitive buttons etc), and the rest is probably just a "Google Tax" because they set the price of the Nexus One.

Dave

Why? iT's ReaLly BoRinG fOr mE tO tYpE In tHe NoRmaL wAy..
Any way i type in normal way beacause of you
Thank u, Good Reason, It Seems To Be Just Google
((But Why Do u Prefer TrackBall To Optical One))
Might be boring but it's the forum rules - if you don't want to follow them then leave
'' Pisssss on This ****ing rules, i just want my cigarettes back''
don't get it wrong it's just a quote from my favorite movie ''One Flew Over the cuckoo's Nest''
But Correct me if i'm wrong:
IF i type tYpE instead of type, i've just broken the rules..?
Come on i know most of user don't like this type of typing & i should respect them and don't type in that way (as i'm doing NOW) BUT i don't think it's against the RULES...

hah, nice one EddyOS
the trackball I would prefer because I find it hard to use my optical D pad because when my phone is in my case it is quite hard to find it and use (while typing a text) so if a ball would just stick out a bit more I would find it more confortable
Thank u EddyOs..
But ''Post only using a clear subject and message'' doesn't say that typing tYpE is wrong, tYpE is NOt Clear..?

The Nexus One has the FM radio too, by virtue of the using the same Broadcomm chip, and I believe it has been enabled in some Nexus One ROMs (though not officially).

[Q] So how many have Bootloop/Dead Earpiece Problems so far?

Hi there, both problems crop up more and more over the internets.
hmm wanted to post links to both motorola support forums and the german forum android-hilfe. but alas i can't. i'm too new here i guess.
Anyone yet?

Yeah it would be helpful if you post saying you are having an issue if you would also say what version of the phone you have. US or UK or whatever else is out there.
Seems mostly like there are two hardware versions, but I could be wrong.
i am not buying this phone until I get more info on this problem. many people on the net have this problem.
less than a week of ownership and no issues so far

Honestly I only see the reboot on the non-US Motorola forum: three or four people in the UK. They are claiming it's related to loss of 3G?
i think it has something to do with specific SIM cards (3n or 5n). theres more info on the german forum of android-hilfe.de

Broken earpiece here. Phone wasn't even a week old. Had used the headset a few times.
Now I have my second Defy and hope that it doesn't happen again.

Where are you? I'm hoping they'll replace mine as opposed to sending it off to get it repaired.
How long have you had the new one?
Less than a week and no issues as of yet. I have had two random reboots so far but both were when my battery was under ten percent. Only issue I've had this far is battery life but I think its in part to me running launcher pro and not rooting yet, and the fact I use my phone ALOT. Overall I'm happy though, so much so that I will pay full price for a second one for the wife!
I am in Germany. They wanted to send it in for repairs first but i had them exchange it on the spot. The second one is on it's first week now. Didn't play around with the headset but am calling myself every now and then to check if the earpiece still works
Must say it's a little worrying reading about this issue. I guess the advice ought to be to simply avoid using the headphones socket! Out of the question for some perhaps, but I would point out that bluetooth headphones/headsets are actually very affordable now. £20-£30 gets a fairly good pair of headphones, which will render this issue kinda harmless (if usage of the socket is indeed the culprit). Plus, who wants cables trailing out of their mobile phone anyway? Unless you absolutely need to use the onboard FM radio, you may as well just leave the 3.5mm socket alone, especially if there's a risk of breaking the earpiece speaker.
Despite this minor issue, I think the Defy is an awesome android phone, and highly recommended. Perhaps in the coming weeks Motorola will acknowledge this problem and sort it out completely - fixing the jack properly for future production, and maybe offering free bluetooth headphones to those who've bought a Defy with this weak socket/earpiece speaker issue (well it would only be fair, certainly cheaper than furnishing all early customers with new Defys... or would that seem to be a far-fetched dream? - help me out, I've no experience with Motorola's aftersales support! Lets hope they feel obliged to do the right thing for all of us who've decided to go for something a little different to the iphone/bberry/htc crowd)

I love the phone too, but we shouldn't have to work around problems like this. What's the point in having a jack if you can't use it?
Except I believe the radio (FM) will not work unless earphones are physically inserted because they act as antenna.

Thanks. How about audio?
Audio does go through the cable. Was there a microUSB port in the adapter for charging as well? Because I read that unless it is put on charge, it doesnt work properly. The 2 adapters in the link have microUSB slots so yours might have been missing one or maybe just some other fault.
Once the adapter is connected, it works just like any other HDMI port.

Quite correct, however what you will find is that people will get more and more reluctant to cover the same issues over and over again until people simply wont bother to answer.
Always best to read before asking, there is no excuse not to do so, simply advising there is nothing wrong with asking questions doesn't really cut it. I know the search is pretty bad but I had some of the same questions myself but found all the answers I needed by reading and watching youtube.
One search for "MHL" revealed the following below, and these are not posts mind you, these are individual threads.

Turning the top earpiece into speaker?

Hey guys, I faintly remember reading somewhere that developers were able to get the earpiece on the Nexus 5 to work as a speaker as long as the phone was rooted. So my question is, are there any developers that're working on modifying the top earpiece on the 5x to work as a second speaker (possibly for stereo sounds)? I know that if that were to happen, the top "speaker" probably wouldn't be as loud as the actual speaker on the bottom, but I'm excited for this to happen (hopefully) soon because coming from a Nexus 6, the single speaker on the Nexus 5X is a bit disappointing. Anyways, thanks all!
Some developer also did the exact same thing in one plus one...imagine that mod combined with v4android.. Awesomeness

Does he work on nexus devices as well or is it just Samsung? I might ask him but I'm always scared to ask devs to see if they can do this or that because they have other things to do then to cater to my wants.

How to install 1920x1200 display on 1280x800 tablet?

Hello XDA Forum,
my daughter's tablet screen was cracked. A Chinese web shop offered replacement screen (lcd, digitizer & glass combo) and I ordered giving them correct model of the tablet. Now, I received physically perfectly fitting gear but I won't get any image on the screen. I can see backlight lit for a short while.
I swapped the faulty LCD/digitizer/glass back and could see picture just perfectly. So it seems like resolution issue. I even swapped the new LCD back while tablet was powered up (I know, I know..) and I could see picture in the replacement screen as well! But the image was distorted just like you've seen in CRTs when resolution/refresh don't match the screen capabilities.
Tablets model is Asus ZenPad 10 Z301M-1B006A. This site explains the differences pretty well:
w w w . p d e v i c e . c o m
/comparison/asus-zenpad-10-z301m-vs-asus-zenpad-10-z301mf
Even the GPU is same for 1920*1200 and 1280*800 system.
Actual replacement LCD is NV101WUM-N52 (1920*1200).
It perhaps should have been TV101WXM-NU1 (1280*800).
I saw some web shops giving possibility to select resolution but my Chinese web shop just asked the model. I have perfectly correct model in the order.
The sticker on the replacement panel says ATAB435 and "Asus Z301M Z301MFL" plus some Chinese chars. This suggests the LCD was indeed intended for Z301M/1280*800 tablet.
Now, the question is, could my replacement screen picture problem be due to wrong initial Android bootup resolution setting which I could possibly change with adb thus upgrade the tablet to 1920*1200 reso?
Hope this question made any sense at all.
BR,
Timo

I don't have this device myself but, I did a little digging around...
First of all, I did see that the new display is actually compatible for your device.
If this were me, my next thought would be to go to the following manufacturers website FAQ section...
https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS-ZenPad-10-Z301M/HelpDesk_Knowledge/
... and see if I can locate anything that's regarding the Display (ie... LCD, Digitizer, Display, etc...) to see if there was anything that may/might/does apply to your issue.
Personally stating, I can only assume that it may be tied to some type of Calibration or similar.
Just to clarify, if this were me, and nothing worked, I would just double check all the connections. Specifically for connections that may be loose, dirty, disconnected (by accident), etc... because things can happen when putting them together that was overseen/forgotten accidentally.
In addition, I would look at some YouTube videos in replacing the Digitizer Display for the same/similar device. I would do this only as a reference regarding what I did and see if I had overlooked anything.
If all is well and nothing was successful, I would personally feel that this Digitizer was simply defective. I would then look to begin the process of returning/replacing the Digitizer.
If I obtained the same Digitizer part, and the same happened, I would just look into return/exchange that one for the other part.
It's really hard to diagnose many items/issues without having the actual/same device.
I hope that this was helpful in some way and I had explained this okay via text.
I do wish you the best of luck!

First of all, your effort is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Very interesting. What made you think my replacement display combo (LCD: NV101WUM-N52) is compatible with Z301M? All hints I could gather was stating it's compatible for Z301MF* models.
I tried to look for this information but couldn't really find the proof.
Ibuprophen said:

This is my study hypothesis as well. First, I was thinking that my problem is just due to the LCD not understanding the signal sent to it by the GPU.
commands like:
Code:
adb shell
wm density DPI (Change display density)
wm size RES (Change display resolution)
might change the startup resolution so that the new LCD can show it and otherwise get initialized properly.
I was just puzzled that Google didn't give any hits of people doing this so I just couldn't believe I'm the 1st one to experience this. This is why decided to ask here.
What I do not know is can ARM or tablet hardware in general negotiate screen refresh/resolution/DPI information via the cable or is it always something which is hard coded in the firmware itself? After all a tablet isn't really a plug and play hot swap equipment, eh?
Only thing avoiding me to test above approach is that the web shop may want to replace my new LCD. Let's see how it boils. Is it broken or is it electrically unfit for the hw/sw model I have?

I hear you. I did this approximately 10 times. Some 5 times I switched back to the cracked 1280*800 and shows the picture fine. Back to NV101WUM-N52 and all I get get is backlight.

I've seen this before. Sometimes a new device will have upgrade options when it's first launched.
I've got an Asus Transformer T100TA Tablet where this option was provided for the Digitizer, Memory and a few others.
As a matter of fact... I've got my Asus Tablet still apart with the newer Digitizer Display ready to be put back together. Unfortunately it's been ready to be assembled for approximately a year now (shame on me... LOL! ).

LMAO!!!
It's actually my first (and only) tablet I've ever owned. It's like a BIG Android... LOL!
I've got a good handful of various Android devices, 3 Laptops and 2 PC Towers (with 3 monitors). This list only includes what's actually working (also less the various parts as well). On top of the various projects I'm involved in bouncing from one to another as well as Life itself.
You can see why reassembling the tablet is actually something I want/need to do, it's just not very high on my priority list at this point in time.
I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you.
One last detail for the record should someone else sometime stumble upon this problem.
Z301M original LCD is KD101N59-42NA-A8 which was later replaced, according to test report 081-170425-200, by TV101WXM-NU1 1280*800.
So be careful when ordering replacement screen for Asus ZenPad 10. There is also some green & yellow connector difference which wasn't involved in this case but I just wanted to mention it here.
