Make it short and sweet I need to call Verizon to try and get a replacement.. They're going to ask me some info that's on my about phone screen but I have custom roms and kernels installed..
Could someone with a stock phone please take a screen shot of the about phone screen so I can provide the correct answers when asked

Thanks for trying! If you're using the new xda app it's prolly related to that.. I read somewhere that people are having issues uploading pics

It's not related to the rom.. My mic cuts out like half the other users and we have done plenty of trials to see if it's related to roms kernels 3g 4G... Anything you can think of it's been tested.

If you're so sure it's a hardware issue wouldn't you have to send it back? In which cause they'd notice you've voided the warranty with root and/or custom ROMs?

You realize it's easy to tell whether a phone has been unlocked, right? Potentially, Verizon could see the flag has been set and tell you to go pound salt.
Also, the mic cutting out *COULD* be a software issue. You said it happens to like half the people, but I've never had it happen, and I know 4 people with the phone that have no trouble. That's 0/5, which is less than 1/2.

It's real simple.. I didn't post this to argue with people. If you're willing to help me out then thank you. If not, then shut the hell up.
Look at the topic "microphone cutting out mid call" I never said it's hardware or software. But I do know it's not related to my rom. I've had Verizon replace my phone already for this issue and to be quite honest I'm looking to get a different phone because I'm sick of this one screwing up.
The issue I'm having is totally irrelevant, I just need a screen shot so I don't have to go back to stock 4 days earlier than necessary.

It's not lazy by any means because in the time it's taken me to respond to your annoying posts I could have un rooted and locked my bootloader.
And explain to me how it's stupid? It's just working around the system which I know doesn't work because I've been through it before. If this is my first time doing it then I'd agree with you, but why do I need to return to stock to give some Verizon tech that doesn't even know if my phone has a removable battery or not answers to questions that doesn't matter.

What they're likely going to ask is Android version, baseband, build number, etc. to check if you're updated to 4.0.2 or if something got corrupted or whatnot. It's not like they're going to ask what the kernel version is.
Why don't you guys stop being dicks and just help him. Go troll somewhere else. He obviously doesn't want to sit stock for 3 days. Who would? I'll get my Buddy to send me a picture for you bro. Give me a few

I guess people are just plain dumb here huh. There's a whole thread just on this problem. Root or stock its still there. They won't just let you switch out phones to something else. I am pretty sure they do the whole refurbished thing like 4 times before offering a different phone. I had to do this with my old fascinate.

Yes I'm an idiot, I know. I bought it off eBay and realized too late.Question is, can I pay a lab to mod it for me or something? It's a Verizon. I heard it has a microSIM slot that's almost sealed shut but still existing. So it would probably just require reprogramming the frequencies. And I'll handle unscrewing the slot and inserting my SIM. Is this possible?

you cannot make a CDMA nexus work on GSM frequencies. totally different radios.
So best/only option would be to sell it and buy another?... crap...

You can always look to trade for a new one on Craigslist or similar services as well!
Thanks everyone, the seller's trying to stop the shipment, I'll talk to him about returns once the device is in either's hands... hopefully I'll get a return or find who to sell to/trade with.

Worse case scenario you can sell it. The good thing is it is a very desirable phone. The sim also is completely removable. Your thinking of the sprint version which has the weird sim situation.

The Galaxy S3 has a workaround to use GSM SIM cards, is there something similar for the Galaxy Nexus?

No. The Verizon Galaxy S3 is a world phone that also supports GSM&HSPA on top of CDMA/LTE. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not a world phone.

Hi everybody! My Note II is coming for me tomorrow, from England to Brazil, it is sim-unlocked.
But I have a (maybe a noob) doubt about updates - Via Kies or ODIN:
I am sure that the Big Baby Note II will receive the update to enable multi-windows coming directly from BTU - As the firmware I suppose will be BTU Unbranded.
But, after the update, it will still be sim-unlocked? And if it locks again, there's an safe method to sim-unlock again? Hypothetical speaking, if it locks again.
I never had an imported device, and here in Brazil all devices comes unlocked from factory - It's a Law.
Someone could, please, answer my doubts, or even indicate some safe method to unlock it - Hope I will not need this - Just in case, and as I didn't found any thread here talking about this subject.
Thanks!
If you bought an unlocked phone, it will be forever.
I've never heard of a carrier who forces a lock on your SIM free phone. That'd be wrong.
So don't worry.

Hey guys, i've been offered a Galaxy Note II for just 450 USD ( 25,000 INR or 345 EUROS). And the reason it is selling for this cheap is because its locked to Sprint Operator,and apparently the owner is a 'Total NOOB' , and doesn't know what to do with it since we are both here in Africa (Ghana). What i wanna ask is that, is there a SURE way to get this bad boy running unlocked without too much hassle? So i can just snap it up! Its still very new and in its box. Thanks for your replies... :laugh:
It's cdma, not gsm. No good for Africa friend.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY SIGNATURE, bought an S3 instead. International version, factory unlocked, BRAND NEW. Broke seal myself.
Hey guys.
Recently my beloved nexus' radios decided to quit working. I've tried everything to get them back but the harsh reality is that they just don't work anymore. I made a thread in the Q&A section to no avail.
Decided to go with the GS4 so I have an unused somewhat defective, and clearly used phone that is just sitting on my desk. When I went from my incredible to the gnex, I gave my incredible to one of the awesome devs that made that phone so much better. I'm thinking of doing it again because you guys are so great.
So if you are a dev, contact me and I'll so my best to give it to someone who can truly use it. Whether it be for parts or as a test flashing device, etc.
I can ship the phone free of charge through amazon since I work there so there really is no hassle involved.
Just to be clear, the radios (as far as I can tell) don't work, the charging port is a bit loose and sometimes hard to charge, and there are a few scratches on the screen and around the bezel. Other than that everything works. So perfect for a test device for your future roms.
I really want someone to USE the device and not just turn around and sell it, although I would be none the wiser. So let me know if you NEED it.
Thank you to this community (most of you ) and to all the hard working developers that got me thru the last few years. It's been fun.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Well I have one already.
Although, it's the sprint variant.
You see, I don't make that much money, and I got this for christmas, sure it's great, but since it's limited to CDMA, I cannot be flexible with it at all.
It really does suck, I've been wanting to sell it and replace it with a GSM Galaxy Nexus, but no one will buy it, everyone already moved on to wanting the galaxy S4 or something similar.
So I definitely don't NEED it, but it would save me some money with me being able to change to Straight talk.
About the broken radios, I can try and repair it, buy a new charging port, buy a new antenna, etc etc, it'd be a fun project. I've already started some development for myself for the toroplus, and the GSM Galaxy nexus would allow me to fully mess with a semi working Ubuntu Touch OS.
And, if it wasn't given to me, which it probably won't, I actually have a cheap 12 dollar otterbox like case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, I messed up on the order and got that instead of one for my model.

Friend of mine really wants to start developing for phones. And I told him a nexus phone would be the best. But he doesn't really have the money to buy one and neither do I. So he could really use it and he did some development for his old tablet and as far as I can see he's quite good at it. So I think he would be a real good person to have here on the forums.

I guess I should of been more specific on who I want to give the phone too.
It would help if you already had a thread in the developers section.
Like I said, I don't want to give this to someone just to have them sell it so the only insurance I have is making sure you are already a developer of some sort.
