[Q] Galaxy Nexus in India???

Galaxy Nexus in India???
I'm thinking to buy a UNLOCKED Version of Galaxy Nexus from USA and gonna use it India.Will 3G and 4G is usable in India???.And will Nexus which is buyed from other countries and used in India gets Jelly Bean Update or not and some bug rectifying updates and will they support the product even when they didn't market this in INDIA.For Indian Galaxy Nexus users,do you guys get updates like OTG update is available for guys???.And if all the above criteria works,where will you guys download updates from,using kies or nexus site???...
Help me guys ...

I hear that the service providers of India use a WCDMA network. Thus a unlocked GSM/HSPA+ version should work properly in India.THE Version version and Sprint version are not suit for people who are not in America

If a phone is unlocked, it will certainly be usable around the world. you can use 3g for sure. 4g depending on your region. the circle is expanding rapidly. you will get the over the air (OTA) updates from google as long as the phone you buy is factory unlocked or directly from google and nothing changed. since its a nexus device, there is ground breaking support for it. updating on your own is a piece of cake, should you wish to do so. any update you would want will come directly to your phone when you connect to a wifi. hence OTA. there is no download what-so-ever using kies.
hope it helps.

1. Yes its safe to get it from eBay, speak to the seller before hand about exchange in case there are issues.
2. There are people who import it and give it to the sellers, the boxes seals are opened and phone are checked for any damage(that may have been caused by transport, but original screen guard isn't removed, always check for this as it cannot be put back on the screen once removed), and then they are usually re-packed with a nice plastic.
3. You can use it in India just fine, but if you have issues you'll have to send it back to the UK.
4. I got mine for 24k about 4 weeks ago, so you can get a better price now since the play store sells it for cheaper rates.

I have been using a GNex bought from the US play store in India and it works great. Had to use market enabler to download some us only apps though. 3g on airtel works great. Running 4.1 JB right now.

Depends. If you have a relative or friend in the US, you can have them buy and ship to you, which was what I did. Or, get it from ebay or if you're in Delhi, gaffar. Street price is around 24k,ebay has it for more. Couple of my friends just got it for 24k.
My battery is good to be true, and the negative posts I read about it don't seem to fit. I average 1.5 days to 2 days, with texting, wifi, browsing here and there, music and all. Pretty darn good and satisfactory if you ask me.
Get the phone! It'll blow your mind!

Go ahead get it!!
The Galaxy Nexus sold on google play or whichever variant claims to be the unlocked GSM edition is good to go with any Indian carrier. The upside about the unlocked International edition is that it is supported by google directly which means it is elligible for all relevant upgdates from google and not from samsung as may be the case with some country specific editions of the device. i have heard that Indian users of the international edition of the phone have already recieved the JB upgrade. i think with shipping , the device should be for around 399$ in the US. if u have an inexpensive source in the US who would be peddle it for you, please go ahead. it is an awesome device . I have been on the galaxy R for the last 6 months, which is a very capable device itself , but running TouchWiz over GB , the galaxy nexus is a refreshing new experience. the stock android is exciting. A great device over all.

Dude, shipping cost depends on where you want it to ship. For me it was New York, took $390 including tax. So yeah, it's not always $400, depends on your area. Some even got it for like $370.
And yeah, I got stock JB running on mine. Gotta agree with you on the experience. The hardware may not be the best, but when you use it with the software, it's blazing fast. The smoothness is just amazing. You won't go back once you get it!

Bad battery posts are from people who got lte/ 4g I assume. Or ones who game all the time. What's important is on screen time I on average get 3.5 hrs daily. Regardless of battery time that could vary on my use of that day.

One more thing, have u got Jellybean update on it?
if so, did u get update notification when using it in India only or have u installed it manually?
I am concerned about one thing, if i'll be getting jellybean update directly from google via OTA or not.
coz i am using Xperia X10 (bought from Singapore) and didn't get any gingerbread on it so i had to install it manually.

All depends on the build. I got mine from the play store.
It's like this: Takju = gsm version from the US play store
Yakju = gsm version from Play Store, but not US, basically internationally
Both these builds get updates from Google, so you'll have no worry.
But, if you have Yakju**, which is the Yakju variant, then your updates will be controlled from Samsung, although this version of the phone is gsm too.
Hope I helped!
And yes I got JB right after a few minutes after my first boot up!

[Q] Bought S4 that was rooted

I bought a t-mobile S4 and discovered it came rooted already. Is this normal? It was from an authorized t-mobile reseller. I don't mind the fact that it's rooted, but what precautions can I take that some malware/spyware isn't installed? Is running a scan with malwarebytes good enough? The reseller said it was rooted to remove some bloatware, but how can I make sure nothing bad was installed? Since the phone is rooted, that also means I can't receive OTA updates, is that right?
Thanks for any info.

It's not normal if you got it from a T-mobile store. An independent but authorized site is different. Maybe someone rooted it but returned it or traded in. If you're really concern just Odin flashed the stock firmware.

Odin back to stock would deffinately work.
But you don't really have to do that. You could just put on a custom recovery, and flash any rom.
Any spyware that a previous user put on the device you have to reside in th esystem partition. Flashing any other rom would wipe out the system partition and installing a fresh one over top.

Yes a rooted phone will not be able to update using OTA or KIES.
There is another easier way to Unroot the phone, just click on superSU
then click on the settings tab and scroll down til you see "Full Unroot"
"cleanup for permanent unroot" (you still will be able to re-root the phone).
That way there is no reason to flash any roms unless you don't like
what you already have, also even without root you still can use
a custom recovery if that's what you want to do.
After unrooting you will no longer be able to use any apps or
anything else which requires root access.
Good luck!

Well, I just found out some other disturbing info. The IMEI on my S4 is 0. It's obviously different from the sticker on the back. And on 2 other S4's I bought at the same time, the IMEI's look valid, but are different from the stickers on the back as well.
I bought these from an independent tmobile store. Why would the phones I bought be rooted and have non-matching IMEI's? Do I have stolen/black market/refurbished phones? I thought I got a discount because of the quantity I bought (5 total, it was for 2 families), but now I think there's something shady about these phones. I don't have ready access to the last 2 phones I bought in this batch, but I suspect they are rooted with non-matching IMEI's as well.
What are the implications of this? I would think these phones are not under Samsung or Tmobile warranty, even though the guy at the store says they are. And in the future, would Tmobile help me (unlocking or I don't know what else) if I am using these phones? They should still help with account/plan changes, but I imagine there are probably some things they won't help with. I'm thinking of returning these phones to avoid future hassles now. Or am I being too paranoid?

This is where your worries should stop.
You bought these from a store. You have a receipt. Take them back to the store and tell them to fix it.
If they won't, take the matter up with T Mobile and tell them that one of their authorized retailers (if it says T Mobile it's an authorized retailer, even if i'ts an independantly owned shop) is selling stolen phones. I promise you that T Mobile will take this very seriously, though you may have to get past the front line customer service rep to find someone who cares.
If it's not a T MObile authorized retailer and it's just a random genric cell phone shop, then T Mobile isn't going to care. But the cops will.
I'd also file a complaint with your local consumer protection agency.
It's one thing is a back ally deal from a guy in a trench coat who started the transaction with "Pssst....hey, buddy...wanna buy a cheap cell phone?" goes south. It's another thing entirely when it's a legitimate store that's ripping you off and cahrging to sale taxes and stuff on tope of your purchase.
And if they didn't know what they were doing when they sold you stolen / broken / semi-refurbished goods, well quite frankly that's their problem. It's not your problem. They told you they were selling you new phones. If they sold you not new phones, they have defrauded you. It doesn't matter if they knew or not.
The IMEI's on the stickers on the phones should match the receipt. That will be proof that you're not pulling a switcheroo on the store.
If they don't match the receipt and you left the store with them anyway, there is a certain amount of Caveat Emptor that applies. (Latin for "Let the Buyer Beware"). You might be out of luck.

[Q] Looking For NK3 update for SM-N901A

I'm currently stuck in a position where I can't get the OTA NK3 Update for my AT&T Note4. Details below:
- AT&T Note4 SM-N901A on 4.4.4 (build N910AUCU1ANIE)
- Unlocked via purchased unlock code
- Currently being used on TMobile network (Which is why I'm being told I won't ever see the OTA update)
If someone were to have a flash-able ROM of the NK3 update that'd be epic. (Or any other way of getting me updated for that matter)
As of now i have a nice new shiny gearVR paperweight.
Any thoughts?

I would call a Best buy and see if they have the Samsung Experience shop. Then talk to them to see if they can flash it for you. They have been able to do that for other devices like the S4

The easiest thing I guess it will work is borrow the ATT Sim card of someone using ATT Note 4. Plug that in and do update then give the simcard back and Thank you
Sent from ♤ Galaxy Note 4 ♤ Please excuse if any typos.

Yeah a flashable tar would be great. I'll ask in the OTA thread.

Just got back from my local Best Buy Samsung Shop, they hooked my note4 up and told me it was the latest version, they even re-flashed to see if it'd update but i'm on the same build as before. I'm currently looking for a SIM card to try to check OTA with, but all my coworkers are ATT iPhone users thus the sim cards are wrong size.
Getting a lil bummed. Think i'll ever see a flashable NK3 update? I was surprised sammobile / kies didn't even have any updates for me.

Just wait. Hopefully root is cracked soon. Would hate it if the NK3 causes problems with future rooting.

Woot!!

New OTA - AOJ1

Hey guys and gals, there is a new OTA available. Build number AOJ1. It comes in at almost 119mb.
It is still 5.1.1 and just general performance improvements, etc. I haven't had a chance to run it through its paces yet. I will update as I have a better idea of how it is.

Running On Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920A

Ok... I'll jump. Already ran the Fall update on Winders 10, might as well throw my phone into early-adoption-land as well.

Not finding this update on my phone. On Cricket Wireless network running on unlocked AT&T version. Since Cricket uses AT&T network, it shouldn't matter much. Is this available via Smart Switch yet or strictly OTA?

Might be prep for Marshmallow

Does anyone have an offline copy of this or previous version that I can flash through odin? I am 2 versions behind and software update says I m on the latest.

Contact AT&T tech support by online chat and they can push the update to your phone. (I did that for one of the Note 5s I'm helping to maintain.)

Tried the online chat. The customer rep refused to push said they have no ability to contact the phone as Cricket Wireless is servicing it. I think its all BS.. the rep didn't know what she was talking. Tried another rep, same answer. I have used TMobile Note Edge on Cricket Wireless and always got the latest OTA updates.

The problem here is that your using Cricket, even though the phone may be on an AT&T Network, AT&T will not recognize the device as being on their network. AT&T is always fairly strict with who, what, and when they roll out updates. It is also possible it just isn't available in the area you are as well. If all else fails go to a Best Buy and have them flash the device to the most current at the Samsung Kiosk. Though they are usually about a month or so behind on updates typically, at least last I recall anyway. Believe me if AT&T Execs had their way I am more than willing to bet they would lock their phones down so hard no one would be able to take their phones to another carrier. T-Mobile on the other hand is fairly open with what people do with their cellphones hence the reason most of their phones can be rooted etc.

On am on at&t with an AT&T phone and I am on old version? I called at &t and Rep says they cannot push an update? Ended up having me call asurion. Insurance company for the phone and they have no idea? Any help in this matter would be great.

Solutions to get ATT Updates on other carriers

Wondering what solutions people have used to get ATT updates while using other MVNO's (I'm on Crickett and still have not gotten the security update - wonder if it hasn't rolled out to me yet, or if I need to do something creative).
I have an old ATT Sim card, but it is not provisioned, so it didn't help.
Would buying a ATT GO phone sim work? Would that only work once, or could that one SIM card work perpetually (i.e. another update 6 months from now)? I have two Note 4's, could one sim work for both Note 4's?
I also hear Best Buy could help, but I want to find a solution I can do in my own home..
Thanks!!!!

just go to best buy and get the phone updated thru samsung rep

You could try Samsung's Kies program.

They won't flash just the update, but instead the latest entire firmware with updates mixed in.
In other words, when you get these OTA updates that aren't an entirely new OS (like going from Kitkat to Lollipop), they're just patching the update into your existing firmware, which also results in the firmware version changing. However, Best Buy will flash the complete firmware with the patches already included. They can't just give you the patch. Odin will do the same exact thing as Best Buy too.
Also, you'll need to wait about 2 weeks after an update before going to Best Buy. They told me that only some Best Buys in highly populated cities will get the update files immediately. It can take a week or two for your neighborhood Best Buy to receive the needed update files.
