Official Galaxy Nexus in the Philippines

This thread was opened as a venue where Filipinos can compare and discuss their experiences with the GNex. If you are Pinoy, then this is the place to be!
Came from the SGS2 and we had our own thread there where everybody was helping each other no matter where they were. Hopefully that can be replicated as well for the GNex. Post away!

Bought a Gnex Dec 2011 and love it.

Have you rooted it? What about your screen? Are you experiencing some yellow tint color?

Hello there.. bought mine first week of january from a grey market here in the philippines. Mine's not unlocked and rooted yet. Still waiting for my laptop to arrive to do it. Saw the instructions and i think its pretty hard to brick and easy to unlock and flash roms using fastboot. Came from a galaxy S2.

Nice to see you here Swiftden! Will root mine later. Looking at Gummy Nex Rom. But def should be 4.03 at least.

Hi guys! Bought mine on January through grey market. Also bought the extended battery shortly after. AOKP milestone 3, Franco kernel #13.1. Not gonna flash anything new soon, since I'm quite contented with it now. Probably when AOKP M4 is released.
Previous phone was a Galaxy S2. Only lasted for 3 months before selling it to get the GNex. Hehehe...

It was officially released by SMART at the end of January. So, yeah, it's been out for about a month. I bought mine at Thailand when I was there first week of January. I'm running CM9 nightlies with FuguMod kernel.

Just got my GNex about an hour ago from the grey market. Still have my GSII but will be selling it soon. I'll keep it stock for a few days. After that, it's rooting time and flashing ROMS. Can't wait to try out CM9. Any suggestions for a good ROM?

What type of batt life you get with the roms and kernels you're using? With standard batt of course. I barely get to 4 hours with data on all the time. I think the radio on my phone sucks. Rarely get a green signal as compared to the S2.

I can go a full day with data always on and still have around 40% battery life at the end of the day. That includes around 2-2.5 hours screen time and 2 hours or so of listening to music/audiobooks.
You are in a place where signal is poor. So the phone sends more juice to your radio in trying to maintain a decent connection. If you're only using data to send messages or text emails or anything that doesn't require high speed, try setting network to 2g only if you don't really need the speed. See if that helps.
EDIT: However, if all those 4 hours are spent surfing the internet with screen on, then you get about the same battery life as everyone else.

Will try Gummy hopefully by tonight! Guess its time to get the extended batt for this one too. Lol! Globes 3g signal isnt as strong as smart.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Wow! Glad to see many pinoys here. Also got the extended batt. I have 2 cases, ringke slim, and a SGP Ultra Capsule.
I really am a power user. I charge twice a day. 6 hours of wifi tethering. Normal usage i can get to 12-16 hours with the extended batt (2.5 hours screen time). Batt life sucks but its better than my galaxy s2 considering the screen size.

Gtizon! Hows the gnexus so far??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Wait ,guys all of you has GSM version? Considering I'm using LTE (verizon)and doesn't have the extended batt. I still have descent batt. life with my gnex.(gummy)
gamit ang gnex ( xda premium)

I think 4 hours is normal if that's only screen time with data on. I can easily pass 4.5 hours of screen time with WiFi and sync on, standard battery. (At least, that's what I got when I was addicted to "Where's My Water" and "Cut the Rope." Hehehe...)
For my normal usage though (lots of calls and texts, sync on, and a little bit of web browsing and Foursquare), I got 2h 18m screen plus 4h 2m voice calls in a span of 2d 7h before ending up with 4% remaining. The extended battery adds either ~1 hour (screen) or ~2 hours (voice) more to that.
As for the signal... My GNex is significantly better than the S2 for 2G, since the S2 drops the signal from time to time. As for 3G, not so much. Still difficult to get a signal from where I'm sitting, except when I stick the phone out the window, but who does that?

Galaxy nexus VZW LTE battery life

Okay I'm nearing the end of my first day with my new nexus. 5h 23m on battery with about 20 minutes of in car charging halfway through the day. I'm currently at 14% with 2 hours of screen time this seems pretty bad compared to my older Droid 2, will the run time improve over time?
I'm a average to heavy user so I was considering the extended battery but it wasn't in stock at the store. If anyone who owns an OEM extended battery or the seidio 3800mah could give me some insight on whether they think it is worth the extra money.
Thank-you in advance.

Stay on 3G until you need LTE.
Your Droid 2 was 3G only.

Is there an application or Widget that can make the process faster or easier?

Battery life and general information of galaxy nexus

Hi, I'm probably going to buy a galaxy nexus but I want to know some things about the telephone before..
how is the battery life of the nexus? whit my nexus s i can get 4 hours of screen on, is the galaxy better?
How is it compared to a galaxy s2 in battery and performance ?
Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2

Well in terms of battery life Nexus has 1750 MAH and GS2 has 1650 and as per me since i have used both the cell nexus is better and after i using it with Jellybean it gives me far better battery life compare to ICS
and in terms of performance also i would say Nexus only its better bigger and super except for the 5 megapixel compare to 8MP on GS2

It depend what will you do with you galaxy nexus. If only check some email and SMS I think 4 hours is possible
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I think that the Galaxy Nexus is better overall. You may get around 4 hours of screen-on time, but keep in mind that this huge screen is a real battery hogger.

I think that the modding is simple like in the nexus s.. Has this telephone got any known bug/defect? (for example the breakable power button of the nexus s)..
The only thing that doesn't convince me of this smartphone is the battery duration..
It seems that 4 hours of screen on is something difficult to get.. But whit my nexus s is quietly normal get 4 hours of screen on using WiFi and surfing the internet for 1-2 hours, playing for 20-30 minutes and using for other apps the rest of the time (like play store, play music or message and voice calls)
Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2

with kernels like franco and trinity people have gotten 5 hrs of screen on time with wifi etc..

I've never got anywhere near 4 hours.. or even 3. I've used a billion different kernals and roms, kept up with better battery to make sure it wasn't waking too much... I only get about 10 hours on 4g and maybe an hour of on screen time. If i don't touch my phone, it will last all day.

I've owned Nexus S before, and I gotta say, Galaxy Nexus has few minutes (30min~40min) shorter screen on time than Nexus S. Never owned GS2 so I don't quite know. If you get LTE version, it's gonna be worse. I recommend getting OEM extended battery if you are gonna buy this, but need more battery out of it.
Performance wise, GS2 will never beat Galaxy Nexus, especially since Galaxy Nexus now has Jelly Bean while GS2 is still rocking ICS at latest.
If I were you, I would wait for next Nexus, which probably will be much more expensive. But if you want a great phone now, recommend Galaxy Nexus with no problem (except battery life I guess )

I'm on stock 4.1.1 jellybean and I can easily get 3 hours screen on time with 3G on the whole day.

Dude, that's absolutely normal. The screen is basically the biggest power consumer. My screen takes usually around 60%. It all depends how you use your phone... If you let it sit around and don't use it for over a day, you'll notice your battery accounts for a smaller percentage of overall battery consumption. If you spend over 4 hours browsing the web non-stop, the phone will run out of juice in that time period, and your screen will probably show its taking up something close to 80 percent. Which makes sense...

Average life of 3800 siedio battery

Hey guys I'm getting four hour screen time on my audio super battery. On three g and no GPS wfi or BT . Is that the average? Was kinda of expecting more. I did do as their instructions said so wanted to know. Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I have the hyperion 3800 extended battery, I get 4 hours on screen and still have 10-15% left(Around 15 hour day). I keep LTE and GPS on and have brightness set to auto. Using PA + Franco milestone 5. That is my average, but I heard the seidio is better so I dunno.

I get two and a half on 2100mah
Pitiful compared to my old eptouch tho

I don't get much better time from the Seidio 3800 than I do from the standard extended life battery. Not enough to carry that big block thing around with me. I got it with my phone bundle so it didn't cost any more.

Same here. Stock gsm battery. Stock rom. Trinity kernel, but I got the same on screen time with Franco too.
Maybe OP is running cdma?

can someone post a link, for the trinity kernel, and stock rom for vzw gnex? I want my nexus fully ICS stock, rooted/unlocked, but still on stock rom, and will try trinity kernel.
