    Post Stock N4 4.2.2 build.prop

    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...

    Thread [Q] Replacement USB Port & Headphone Jack

    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...

    Post Galaxy Nexus Bluetooth issues.

    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...

    Post Can't receive MMS from T-Mobile users.

    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.

    Post T-Mobile IPv6 Beta for ICS Nexus and GN

    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.

    Post T-Mobile IPv6 Beta for ICS Nexus and GN

    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.

    Post Excluding Folders from Gallery

    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...

    Post Who has got the notification for 4.0.4

    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

    Post [URL]Official OTA 4.0.4 GSM Only (How to manually update it)

    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...

    Post How to replace Galaxy tab touch screen?!?!?

    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...

    Post Official Galaxy Nexus Car Dock with TRUE 3-pin functionality! (2012-08-10 Update!)

    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...

    My previous phone was a MyTouch 4G and I found a simple $10 swivel holster for it on ebay. Two zip-ties around the AC vent blades and I had a decent car mount that rotated for landscape too.

    Post Avoid DailySteals!!!

    The problem is not with an order that takes some time because it has to ship from overseas, the problem is no information from the seller. Let's say they had 50,000 units of the Galaxy Nexus and they sell them at $559. Every one of those people should receive an email saying they were part of...

    I got the same email (I ordered at 3:15pm). I kept my order in place, I could not find a deal within $100 of this one. If it gets delayed beyond next week I will cancel though. Also I hear they do not notify when they ship (guess emails are too expensive) so you have to either check their...

    Post daliy steals, have you received it yet?

    Count me among those waiting. Post here if you get a shipment notice. Anyone else think this sale means the 32gig version is on the way? GN is a pretty well reviewed device and seemed to be selling at ~700, the only reason I can see for such a discount is that the 32 GB GSM is close behind.

    I'm an N1 owner from the first week it came out and have stock 2.3.4 on mine. I was looking at the G2x and waiting patiently for the Sensation when a MyTouch 4G fell into my lap for $60. At first I stuck Virtuous' Sense ROM on it but for me the downsides of Sense outweighed the up. So the...

    Post Something is killing my battery?!?!

    Just my two cents but... - Task killers are for people who do not understand that Android manages memory use for you. If it's in memory it can resume quickly, that does not mean it is chewing CPU cycles. - Battery conditioning works. Run your battery all the way down. Restart phone again...

    Post (most likely) Why Gingerbread is taking so long.

    I wish people would stop saying "just flash a GB ROM and be done with it", there's more to it than that. The N1 is sort of a reference design for alot of phones out there. A working N1 GB ROM means solid drivers, solid battery life, solid performance, etc. I also have an HD2, it's running GB...

    Post Nexus One vs Mytouch 4g

    My parents both bought MT4Gs over the holidays. Very nice hardware, I'm jealous of the bigger screen, camera button and the trackpad. One big flaw though, the USB port is on the side, so no car mount. Rumor has it there's one that works in landscape, but it sure looks goofy. N1 is smaller in...
