[POLL]Did you know that holding power will do a hard shut down?

Why bother taking your case off, or wearing out the battery cover clips, or move more the necessarily?
This has never failed me.

Yes. To be honest, though, I always thought that it was power+volume up.

nope, just one button.

did not know that

I actually just assumed it did.. Every other piece of computer technology I own does this.

I don't believe you

Holding it down for around 10 seconds will also do a soft reboot.
You can also open up your dialer and punch in *#350# to do a full reboot.

Thanks for the tip, as a new E4GT and Droid user all these tips and tricks are helpful!

you would think this would be a universal feature on all electronics by now.

Wait, what? This is news to people? Every phone and computer I've ever owned does this. And it's listed in the manual for our phone. I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a joke I'm missing or something?

I'm sure it's to inform people who didn't know.

When people are shocked that you can "quickly and easily" adjust the brightness of your screen by sliding your finger across the notification menu, then yes, this is definitely ground-breaking news.
Any owner's manual typically holds a few nuggets of awesome like this.

Mr. Body Massage machine, GO!

there is so many little things this phone can do that completely amaze me lol still finding out more to, coming from a samsung moment

weird things happen at my church

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.

Maybe the GNex isn't the Jesus phone after all?

Nah that's old Jesus, new Jesus is cruising round heaven with his Bluetooth **** in his ear keeping in touch with all his sheeple round the way.

Just more evidence that something is seriously borked with the verizon nexus or its radio etc. How frustrating.

guys be serious here...
does "media" in battery relate to the signal strength?
what apps can I get to see specific stats?

No media is media, music, video etc.
Search xda for betterbatterystats, that'll give you more of an insight into your battery use.

Have you tried better battery stats app?

You could try getting your friends with their phones to download Speedtest, and you guys can run tests on your network speed and see what happens there.

Don't worry you can touch your phone if you want, no one is watching.

Use stock kernels and I find you will have better results..Most if the problems I see are user errors. My signal is not an issue. Not as strong as my old thunderbolt but also not a drastic difference as everyone makes it seem

Kernel has nothing to do with signal.

its just that "media" is eating up all my battery and I can't seem to figure out why

Please help Ear peace

My ear peace was working great and now all of the sudden the volume is running really low and cant turn it up any more. Im running jelly bean is my speaker done or something else

how did the problem start. were you installing a wet screen protector?

Nope nothing I was talking on the phone and the ear peace started to get really low so I thought I hit the volume rocker but when I checked it was all the way up. This sucks I'm going to try to flash another rom to see if that fixes it

If that doesn't help, the ear piece may have gone bad. Also, try several different kernels.

Finally got it to work I flashed a couple of kernels and the speaker finally started to work. Thanks

New Google Now Feature?

I saw this pop up on Google Now. I've never seen it before and haven't heard anything about it. I guess it's keeping track of how far you walk kind of like a pedometer. Anyone else seeing this?

Same here. Popped up today. Could not find more info.

Great find! What's interesting is that Google has been tracking how much you walk since late September. Did you by any chance just get your device/factory reset it then?
Featured it in a post here
Lets hope we get some more details about it soon.

It appears to use latitude to track your location history.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I had Latitude on for a little while... but I dunno, something just seemed a bit creepy about it so I disabled it a couple months ago. I am not seeing this pop up.

Yeah i also got it since yesterday

Here's mine. Walking distance may be right, can't say for sure, I walk a lot. But it also says I cycled 11 miles in October. Funny thing is, I don't even own a bike.

No bike here either, still says 1 mile for me
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

So you guys turn the gps on all time and let it track you?
Doesn't it drain battery?

I think it just works if you have enabled location history, without keeping GPS on.

Extended battery issues

Okay, I have been getting the sod on my gnex for a long time. Anytime I would launch an app after about 15 seconds into it my phone would freeze and go into sod. I flashed back to stock and sprint replaced my gnex so when I got it I kept it unrooted for a while to see if it was because I was rooted. Same thing happened while I was unrooted. I thought to myself let me use the stock battery to see if the problem might be the extended battery. Sure enough while on the stock battery the sod's stopped. Its been a day now. Has anyone else experienced this, heard of it or can it be possible? Thank you.

The one from sprint that they were giving away. That's the second one they sent me. The first one my phone wouldn't boot and as soon as I put the old one in it booted. Now the second one seems to causing sod's. Possible?

Sure. If the battery is unstable and cannot properly sustain its voltage. You say it's reproducible when opening apps. Generally this action will cause the kernel to temporarily increase the CPU frequency and voltage, if the battery cannot deliver, I imagine this can affect Android in multiple undesirable ways

Man that sounds logical. Kuz that's the way it happens. It seems like when CPU is increased, bam, sod. Wonder if adjusting voltage will help? Or have them send me another one ?

Good advice. Thanks. For the longest time it was driving me nuts. I thought it was kuz I was rooted and running beta Roms but my gut was pointing to the battery. Just didn't want to believe and think that it would caused the issue. As soon as I use the extended it happens every time.
