For anyone else in the same boat (OTA failing because build.prop not passing check in install), the above build.prop worked for me. I don't have root and I'm still 1/2 n00b so I pushed it into /system/build.prop using the nexus toolkit and it's insecure boot image (choice 13). Then I rebooted...

I have the identical problem. I'm back to stock everything except the #$!* build.prop.

I need the small flex circuit under the speakers that has the usb and headphone jacks on it. Mine won't charge via USB no matter what I do. I've checked Google, Amazon and the only one on eBay is a wallet gouging $60. Image of item I need...

I'm also stock 4.1.1 GNex. I had perfect BT behavior with several devices with ICS, now have a problem with my car's built-in BT hands-free phone (2007 BMW 328). Pairing is fine. About every other phone call I'm told they can barely hear me over the noise but my audio is fine. I've paired...

It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.

I did exactly that, just changed the existing APN to IPv6 and MMS would not work. I changed it back to IPv4 and the MMSs waiting came right in.

I turned on IPv6 (only, not 6/4) on my GN and everything worked great except I could not receive MMS messages. I'm on T-mo, the MMS sender is on metropcs. Anyone else seen this? Could have been coincidence but the MMSs came right in when I switched back.

It seems that Gallery mostly respects hidden (.foldername) folders and the .nomedia flag, but some process is alerting the Gallery to new folders and files as they are created, and that process does NOT respect hidden folders or .nomedia. If you believe your problem is solved with the nomedia...

Can we ask for a link to the steps you followed? I've not done the manual update because I understand unlocking the bootloader triggers a wipe, and I can't get a temp root where I can copy to update to /cache to work. I'd love to manually update... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Back when I had my N1 I could copy the zip to update.zip, put it on the sd card, boot into recovery and apply it. Everything stock and no root. So that's not the case anymore? If not, why not? I'd like to keep it as stock as possible. I could do that with the N1 and still not have to wait...

Feature request: I found this because I found a free URL tag in Wired this month and wanted to reuse it. Only after coming here and reading a few pages did I find out about the URL-only tags that can't be retasked without your app being in the foreground. So my feature is for your app to warn...

I've done it twice now so I'm an expert :) A hair dryer will do, heat gun not necessary. Take off the back cover per the video(s) on youtube but stop there. You'll see one connector on the side leading to the digitizer, carefully pop it up. You may want to remove the battery too. Wait until...

+1 to those recommending this one. I have this exact model and it does indeed charge at the "AC" rate, about twice as fast as the "USB" rate.

I hacked pins onto a dock for my myTouch 4g and wound up with so-so results (would connect like 80% of the time) because of exactly that. Take your time and figure out a way to drill the holes for the pins perfectly. Maybe a tiny bit of something (putty? ink?) on each pad can be transferred to...

FYI I saw someone mention using the standard Garmin nuvi suction cup mount, with a GN in a case it does seem to fit. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
