Hi, does anyone know a place in Europe where I can send my Nexus 7 (2013) to be repaired? It has a cracked screen(I have know idea how, haven't dropped it yet.) I've had it since Christmas and was really sad to see it cracked. Please tell my a website of a place where they fix devices like my Nexus 7.

Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..
I hve planed to move-on & YES to Either Galaxy S II (OR) Galaxy Nexus..
The choice i hve is Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 and HTC One S. and the choice is due to my budget.
i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..
The problem i found in getting the Gnex is that,
1. its not yet been officially launched in the India, so no HW & Software warranty.
2. Prob in the GSM Network Getting Locked.
3. lower spec compared to the S2.
My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".
The cons i hve with the S2 is ..
1. Poor design.
2. No quick android update... the current update of Android is 4.2 & still s2 got just the ICS. Dono y samsung guys forgot their device after selling them..
3. Absence of dedicated notification light.
So pls do help me buying a correct device...
Either GO for the nexus Device or the Samsung galaxy S II....
Thanks in advance...

It is strange that ur cousin got network locked Galaxy Nexus. Normally the ones that sell on ebay are factory unlocked.
I and several of my friends have GNex for past seix months and its like no issues at all since 4.1.1. If only network unlock is an issue you can buy it from reputed ebay vendor, see his feedback. As regards warranty, I have the serve pro thing but I do not know how would it benefit me if the phone develops some hardware snag.
you can get Nexus 4 16GB from shopyourworld.com for about 26k, agains warranty would be an issue.
But in any case S2 stands no where even miles close to G Nex. Galaxy Nexus is "Galaxy Nexus - sheer beauty"
1) I've yet to come across anyone with any really serious hardware problems with the Galaxy Nexus. From what I've read around, there are people who can and do repair hardware faults with the Nexus. Just have to look for them, I suppose. And software-wise, it's almost unbrickable!
2) Again, never seen this issue either. I got my Nexus running 4.0.4, upgraded to 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and now to 4.2 without any issues whatsoever. Just make sure you're buying a factory unlocked piece and you're all set.
3) What lower spec?! Apart from the camera and the microSD card slot, the SII has nothing on the Nexus! The Nexus even has a bigger screen than the SII. And add to that the fact that the Nexus already has 4.2, which the SII will take time to get, and definitely not officially, I'd think the Nexus would be a no-brainer!
gnex has a much much better screen at 720x1080p where as s2 is 480x800p

software wise dont worry at all since it is a nexus, i assume anyways you will root it ( main reason to get a nexus i presume ) so when you are rooted you will unlocked worldwide so not a problem at all
still if you want to check the phone then the best you can do is make few calls and check if everything is working, other than that i cant think of anything

While searching on EBay i found out a ebay seller who lives in my hometown...And he gives software + Hardware support or warranty dono wat he will provide, only if bought if bought around my home town.
But He has only the chic white version and not the black one...
So guys pls tell me some solution..COz i really Love the black one.
And when i went to his shop he also told me that i can get it in person if i pay the cash in hand...
I'm really thinking of this coz i haven't purchased anything on ebay.in.. i'm also afraid if bought in person i couldn't hve a ebay Warranty.. So pls do suggest me which is best.... buying in ebay with ebay Warranty or buy it in person..... ?
And when he showed me a Gnex unit it was sealed with a small samsung sticker with bar-codes it it...Is that it...? is that how i wana confirm the unit is factory unlocked or hve to do check some other thing before buying it..and i also said that my cousin's device got locked only when jumping frm 4.1.2 to 4.2 and not b4.. he said he wasn't came across such thing if will happen to the device i purchase he will provide me with unlock codes...

I do owe a galaxy nexus which I bought from US Google play store so I have a takju device and I have always got updates quickly
No problem with that because its of course unlocked
But the only problem with gnexus is it gets way too hot during charging if I keep data packets on or play games for 10 -15 minutes (sometime even crosses 48 degree Celsius Mark)and I am not alone which has got this prob
My cousin has got one from a store in Jaipur and he also has got this overheating prob while charging
I have googled this topic and found that this is a common problem with Gnexus
And this overheating occurs only when I am using my cell while charging
I am on stock but will now consider changing my kernel to under volt my nexus
Hope this will solve this over heating issue during charging
BTW any one with same problem of overheating while charging?

Its a common issue with all multi core devices! While charging and surfing or playing games simultaneously, your device is bound to get hot.

Hi,
my friend dropped his Galaxy Nexus on the floor and broke the screen (glass and display). But the phone seems to be working, since it gives the vibration and a little sound when turned on and off. When connected to the PC the storage is displayed correctly (all the photos are there). The problem is when i stick the SIM and when i try to call it fails to receive the call, but afterward you can see the LED notification blinking the white color about every 7 secs.
Since i cannot return for warranty because it was dropped, now im looking to buy the display. Prices seem a bit high...
The question that I've got is this: Is it worth to Change the Display? Can I be sure that the phone will eventually work?
It concerns me the fact that maybe something else is damaged.
Any help or thought is appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: My friend is a Noob when talking about phones and he didnt know whether it was on 4.0.4 or 4.2.1
It will work properly.
What is the price for screen ??

Thanks for your fast answer,
I've been searching over the internet and the lowest price i could find was about $120, was hoping a bit less since other phones like galaxy s3 was like $40. Can you find me any display?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus repair how to
Hi. Only to comment: My Galaxy Nexus bought on the Google Play store started freezing after 9 months... typical intermittent problem.
I had a hard time to find how to create a ticket request to have the Galaxy Nexus repaired.
This is the web page with information:
CAN"T POST LINKS!!! www[dot]samsung[dot]com[slash]us[slash]support[slash]service[slash]warranty[slash]GT-I9250M
I called the Samsung Android phones repair center (at midnight PDT) and got the ticket number, service repair approval. They sent me the regular mail label and I sent it. Now I'm waiting for the repaired phone.
Good luck.

Hi. few days back my galaxy nexus fell on the concrete floor first display and the screen got broken. i guess the galaxy nexus screen is not well protected as this was the first time it fell and broke. So you better use a casing.
Anyway.. the problem is, i went to the shop to get it repaired but they don't have the display of Galaxy nexus. I live in Bangladesh (South East Asia) and apparently not enough Galaxy Nexus has made it here. So what do i do? I love my nexus way too much to buy a new phone and it has not been a year since i am using it.
What i was thinking is that, many of you might have a nexus which is not working, probably a bad mother-board, with perfect display. Some of you might have a spare nexus which you are not even using. So will it be possible for you to ship it here? I just need the display so that i can repair it .i could have bought it from ebay, but ebay is not yet available in our country. I know it is a lot to ask, but i am ready to pay every penny. If any of you want or can help me, please write here, i will send all my details.
Thanks a lot. I will be really grateful

You can buy a display off of eBay for like 70-80$ if it will ship to your country

Ebay does not provide their service in Bangladesh. Otherwise i would have done that.
I have been looking for a replacement motherboard for my Nexus 5x, but I cant seem to find anything other than phones on ebay with broken screens. I have plenty of knowledge with replacing phone motherboards, so I know I can do the job, just need the parts.
I also want to know if Nexus Imprint works the same way as Touch ID, I know that a Touch ID sensor on apple devices will no longer work if the motherboard is replaced.
I have a H790 32GB, thanks for the help!
oh also, first post!

I know about the bootloop issue. I will meet that guy in person.
I would tell you to get a Pixel 1, but given your history I say stick to the 5X.
The 5X is covered under warranty until October due to the bootloop issue.
