HTC MHL-to-HDMI Adapter

Hi -- I'm having a tough time finding an MHL-to-HDMI Adapter for the Galaxy Nexus around New York City, but there's an HTC-branded one that's widely available (for the Sensation) at T-Mobile shops. It _looks_ like it should work for the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know if it will?

Try going into a Verizon store they sell them and it will work with a GSM model

I just bought the Samsung MHL-HDMI adapter from Amazon for $15 bucks. Works great. Says its for the Galaxy S2 but it works great on our phone too. And matches it pretty well.

no works perfectly. I only bought it temporarily to test out HDMI mirroring and to wait for the one I bought for $10 on ebay to arrive.
Funny thing is that the sales guys said it would only work on the Sensation (since the package said it), but I knew better. When I returned it, the lady said "let me guess you tried this on the Galaxy nexus?" I said "Yes, but it worked perfectly, I just dont want it anymore"

Thanks for all the information, everyone. I ended up trying both Verizon's Galaxy Nexus adapter and T Mobile's Sensation one for my HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus. Verizon's worked initially but then only intermittently; whereas T Mobile's works great despite officially only being for the HTC Sensation.

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.

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 S Blaze battery fits GSM Nexus!

For those looking for a spare battery in the states or one of those battery charging kits, the T-Mobile Galaxy S Blaze uses the same 1750 mah battery as our beloved Nexus! Just thought I'd share.

You know if the T989 battery is also compatible? 1850 mAh with NFC.
From what I can tell, it looks like it. I have a T989 battery, but don't get my phone till Monday. Will update.

Well the nexus battery is smaller but the T989 is bigger and doesn't fit inside the GNex if I recall correctly. I'll have to double check when I get home.

Yeah that's why I would think it's compatible.
On the T989 forums they are all buying the extended nexus battery for the little extra mAh.
Hopefully it's compatible or i'd have a useless battery. lol

The T989 battery will fit the VERIZON galaxy nexus and vice versa. But it will not fit the GSM galaxy nexus.
@icashyy_ you should have stated it fits the VERIZON galaxy nexus which is what you have but since this thread is talking about the GSM GN you instead have confused some people and hopefully they have not made a purchase over your mistake. Please pay attention to thread titles.

I already had the extra battery from the T989, lost it, but found it after I sold it.
Oh well. Thanks!

The Blaze does have NFC its identical to the Galaxy Nexus battery except it has a water indicator at the top.

Since the 2100mah is a Verizon galaxy nexus battery then I don't think it will fit. The blaze is compatable with the GSM galaxy nexus and vice versa. The Verizon galaxy nexus uses a completely different battery.

This thread is a mess. Why are folks so sloppy? We are in the GSM GN forum. We should be talking about the GSM Galaxy Nexus phone and not confusing each other by only saying 'white' nexus or galaxy nexus.
Is this xda or what? Very sloppy. I came here wanting to find a quick replacement battery for my GSM Nexus but cannot trust the advice in this thread. And the main question is where is the moderation? That is why xda has really gone down and forums like RootzWiki have grown so much. The threads here are increasingly filled with confused misinformation on the one hand and flaming insults on the other (this thread isn't flaming only confused).
Hopefully things will improve.
Do the Blaze and the GSM Nexus use the same battery? YES or NO? Can someone definitively answer that question and no other questions in the effort of cleaning up this thread a bit??

When you are talking about battery size, be very clear about what version of the Galaxy Nexus you talk about. The GSM and CDMA versions have completely different batteries.

This forum is not exclusive to the GSM Galaxy Nexus. Both the GSM and CDMA variants are the intended subject matter of this forum.

Well seeing how the title says GSM and in the OP he states its the same 1750mah battery.... then I think he's talking about the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
He didn't say anything about Verizon. He just said the US T-Mobile Galaxy Blaze has the same 1750mah battery as the GSM Nexus. Makes sense.
Blaze = GSM Nexus

Samsung T989 Battery in the GNex?

Random question - but seeing how the GNex extended battery works on the T-Mo GS2, would the stock 1850 mAh battery work on the GNex?
Thanks!
