I remember 1 method is to flash the fix, another's to use market enabler and spoof your market to thinking that you're in america... both methods requires root.
I'm on mobile so I cant link but its seriously the thread above yours. And while they do move, its been in the top 10 for the last few days lol

Not exactly sure about the OP's issue, tapatalk is working perfectly for me. But I would recommended wiping app data and it should appear when you reload the app. You will lose any favorites you have though.

Rooting

Hello everyone, I'm a new GNEX owner coming from the mytouch 4g. I just got this phone and can't seem to put it down lol. My question is what rooting method is recommended, looks like toolkit might be the easiest way, but i want to know what you guys used and if there's anything better.

Do not rely on toolkits. Rooting the nexus is the easiest phone. Unlock the boot loader. Flash a recovery. And flash your rom of choice. Done.

Time Warner cable app

Can not play TV on a rooted phone.
Anyone know of a way around this. Turning off root access for apps on CM9 didn't make it start working.

^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.
