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?

Galaxy nexus user here. Bought it in the UK when it first came out. Also came from an sgs2
Is the GN officially available in the Philippines?
Running stock rom/ unrooted.

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.

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??

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?
What is everyone's best screen on time? Please note if it's on blur or aosp. Thanks!
Love my RAZR M
this thread is kinda pointless. no offense. Without a good kernel for AOSP, blur battery life will destroy aosp. If this was started, 2 maybe 3 months in the future, we might have different result.

Currently for ASOP I'd consider 3 and a half to 4 hours good. On blur maybe 5 to 5 and a half. I've gotten 6+ before but it isn't a common thing.

I work in a building with a terrible signal, so the battery life I get is definitely not as good as some of you guys, but I just can't seem to kill this phone. I'm also on gsm, which apparently eats battery quicker than cdma for some reason. I'm on deadrage 1.2.
I think we may actually get better screen on time than the maxx hd guys. I saw a thread like this and it looked like about 4 hours in a day was typical. Makes you kind of wonder, what DOES get better screen on time than this?
Love my RAZR M
mmm... nexus 7 wifi
In all serioudness, the M is a great phone. battery is totally awesome.

If I'm not mistaken, don't we have custom kernels now for AOSP/CM/ now? Thought I read the ROM I'm running is using a custom AOSP kernel. (PAC ROM)

IIRC that kernel is heavily modified stock based. I may be wrong though

So does any other phone get close to 5 hours screen on time?

I actually sat down and played TD Bloons 5 on my phone this morning straight for 3 hours 15 minutes before I hit 14% battery from a full charge. I had a crappy/no signal the entire time with mobile data on (no wifi). Thought this was interesting. Since living in an apartment that's partially underground (constant poor signal), I've noticed a massive decrease in battery life. I think 3 hours of hardcore gaming under those conditions is pretty impressive!
about 3.5 hours doesn't really get affected by roms it seems
I actually ended up swapping for a note 2 and it blows the m out of the water. After 3 hours of use in the same conditions, I'll have 45% battery on the note
Note<3
Hi there, I've just bought the S4 and I made a backup before in my external sdcard, but I'm wandering if I can use that info now... Once I root the S4 how can I have that info back?
I had the twecked version on the Note 2 , is there anything similar on the S4?
Thanks
Some backup apps allow you to restore data between devices. Usually paid ones though.

Hey I don't have an answer to your question. But I want to know what's the difference you see in the two devices. Do you think the s4 is better and in what way. And how's the battery life compared to three note 2 I've Bern thinking of switching over myself but battery life is so good on the note 2

I can't tell you about the battery because I bought it today, however, it depends of the user, I had cpu sleeper and I had a few process that would start automatically with the system + a battery saver app from go and more thngs that kept my battery on the note 2 on for a while. I'm planing to do the same with the S4, if you want in 2 days send me a message to check
Its been tough with this device, especially current rom developments, but luck came and google decided to sell the nexus 4 at 250$ ....gonna miss u all and i am excited to be joining a new huge community. See you all there

hi, (hoping you are subscribed).
could you tell me how the battery life compares on the two devices?
cheers!
Just recieved the nexus and it is amazing since the device is new it wont hold its charge until its been burned in for a couple of weeks. But right now the battery life lasts about the same on my one v. I can use it through the day no problem. Once i get it rooted it will be even better than my one v though.

I have recently upgraded from the Nook HD to the Nexus 7 2013.
Everything is fine and good except for when I try to use it for a day. The battery life generally lasts for 6 hours, I have Android 4.4.3 KitKat, with root and CWM.
Do any of you have this problem?
I really dont want to go back to the Nook HD, its too SLOW.
Did you let your n7 get hot? Usually leaving a liion battery in the car on a summer day for even a short period of time will ruin it and reduce its life by about 40%

Depending on what you're doing, 6 hours on the stock kernel is about average.

Actually on experimental x I had 10 hours of battery... Even when over clocked to 1.7 GHz!
