Hey,
I was wondering if some one was willing to part with their additional backplate (for $ of course). The tmobile bag with my box and accessories was stolen out of my car and I didn't think I would need another as I'm usually good with phones. Unfortunately, last night it fell out of my purse, hitting the curb at a weird angle, cracking the backplate. If no one is willing to sell one, could you give any links to somewhere to buy a replacement?
Thanks
It's 20 Canadians on bell's website http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=70269
You can only buy it if you live in Canada, which I don't
You can look around eBay and see if somebody is selling any of them. I think I've seen some carbon fiber ones being sold, not exactly the stock one but it'll be a backcover.
Somebody linked this in another thread: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Sam...Fascias_JN&hash=item5194bdfde4#ht_1508wt_1137 It's the I9000 version so I don't know if it'll fit, but most likely it will. Same back cover but has "with Google" on it. Imported from the UK
The i9000 back plate IS identical to the Vibrant's.
I have a few posts in this section on this as soon as someone comes out with some back covers i will be all over them. I want some white ones ones with designs.
I'm really surprised that T-Mobile hasn't launched any additional patterned backs for this phone, considering it's their current Flagship phone.

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.
Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Here you go...
Superuser is installed.
Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.
In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.
yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?
either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.
Thanks guys.... I'm going to head down there today and find out what they say. I'm hoping that they happened to get the extended battery in too!

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet
Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?
or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!
So I just got my HTC one from best buy about a week ago and it just developed a long line of stuck pixels. Who do I contact since I have a blue one? Best buy?

I would refrain from the store if possible they might screw with your plan. They have to add the phone to your account and they'll probably try to change your data plan in store. I get my phone tomorrow in the mail :good: hopefully there aren't any issues.

I was wondering when yours was coming. The only problem is with the pixel problem it sometimes fixes itself and then comes back. Which is quite annoying.

How long ago did you get your phone again? I just hope they don't try to screw with your data plan if you do go into the store. Maybe just request a replacement online via the BestBuy website?

I'm sure they'll try to force you to activate the phone in store and who knows what the rep will do. That's why I aborted at the store since the punk was trying to change my plan.

Haha I can picture that. I can get the pixel line to fix itself when I use the dead pixel app, but it comes back after a while... This is so frustrating it was perfect untill today.

As far as I can tell, not yet is the public response. I also looked at tings site to see if anyone had done anything but it was the same answer.

Hopefully "not yet" means that we will be able to. That's a heck of a deal. I may buy it and just resell at Boost's normal price just to make $30 on the deal. Why not, right?
If RMA a VZW Pixel 3 XL through Google, will they send me a Google Store version back?
Unfortunately there is no real way to determine what they will do. My suggestion would be to return the phone, then order a carrier unlocked phone.

No because as soon as you give them the IMEI number they'll know it didn't come from the Google Store and they won't RMA at all. You'll have to return it at Verizon.

I gave Google the IMEI and they gave me the option of either using Verizon or Google. I decided to use Google in the hopes of potentially getting an unlocked Google Store version as a replacement.

I got the confirmation email that my old device was received today and that they sent out another unit. They also gave me the IMEI which i checked out at a few sites, but I didn't see any indication of whether it was a Google Store variant or not. Is there a good way to check somewhere? Otherwise I just have to wait until Thursday when I get it back.

I don't know of a way you can check with your IMEI number. I am anxious to hear what model you get though. What did you RMA for?

I was having issues with the mic. Whenever i called someone the heard static real bad with what sounded like feedback or a high pitched whining noise. Issue persisted whether i used the buds provided or while on speaker. Bluetooth had no issues though.
Fingers crossed that it is Store version, but I'll settle for better call quality.

No. I didn't get it on some sort of deal. I don't qualify for synchrony financing because i filed for bankruptcy last year. I got laid off the same time my wife had a brain aneurysm and the bills got out of control. Now we live an expensive part of Denver so our kids can actually go to a decent school with better peers. I work two jobs, my wife one, and i am a full-time student. So yeah. I bought it from Verizon because I've been in good standing with them and didn't have to put money down. Life happens. Tired of people taking crap about buying through them. If I could, i would have got out through Google. Maybe i will be able to next year or the year after that.
coolhandz, I appreciate your honesty here. Sorry if you felt like I was giving you crap.
I'm actually a bankruptcy attorney. You could probably find out where with a very simple Google search. I hope your post-BK life is going well. Please send me a PM if I can help out with any advice about rebuilding credit or something else.

Call quality is much improved. New device is a Verizon. A bit bummed. I'll continue to hope that a root method is found amd maybe next year I'll get the Google version.
