Weren't you saying the bezel wasn't big enough last night?
Noooooooooooooo, lol, now that would seriously be to big. Bezel or no bezel, the width of a phone with a 7" screen would be too much for anyone not carrying a purse to put it in. Not pocketable at all. Even the current Note is pushing it size wise.
What instructions did you use to do it? Too many online.

Hello,
I'm thinking of getting the unlocked Nexus from Google. I have two questions.
1. How durable is it? I have a tendency to drop my phones from about 3 ft high.
2. How scratch resistant is the screen?

I thought that 'clear Google services framework' was just a placebo. Gave it a go anyway. Bang, Jellybean. Was gettin' sick of waiting!
I suppose theres 2 different ways to hold a tablet and a phone
the bezel is too small on the N7 to hold the bezel with my thumbs on it without touching the screen portrait mode anyways
with less bezel I can just claw grip the whole thing with one hand ala a phone like the note
with more bezel I can palm it on one side and use my thumb to hold the bezel with
now if they take the 7" screen phone and make it mostly bezel less I can claw grip that sonofabitch with on hand comfortably
I know it's gonna look ridiculous with a 7" phone but fuck the note was already pushing it might as well take it to the limit Samsung
Galaxy Note 3 XL 7"
I can see it happening too in like 2 years

Settings - Apps - All Apps - Google Service Framework - Force Stop + Clear Cache - Reboot
Doesn't work for yakjuux
I didn't even have to reboot. Clear data, then down to check for update, Boom!

I ordered a CDMA Nexus and I'm really excited - my first smartphone! What kind of cover do you recommend, plastic, rubber, or aluminum?
None, use it naked, and put it in a sleeve like a sena slim when traversing.
It was a comment in relation to the S2 screen, of which the 720p OLED version is superior even if it uses Pentile

Is anyone else having problems launching Google Now? I updated yesterday and have not been able to access it. Is it an app? I don't see it listed in the apps in the system settings. I tried swiping up from the home screen but nothing happened. I'm using Apex Launcher so I don't know if that would affect it.
Open up the app labeled "Google", Now is just the new interface for Google Search.
Try long pressing the home key, that should bring it up as well.

I am having problems trying to install the amazon app store on this thing. Keeps telling me that it is unable to open the .apk file. Anyone have suggestions?

But the S2 screen is a Super AMOLED+ screen. The resolution might be lower, but it doesn't have a pentile grid.

Nevermind I ended up figuring out. I was trying to download it from the site and it was not working. I ended up downloading the .apk file and loaded it to the phone. Installed fine after that.
try going to Settings=>Security=>Unknown Sources. You may need to authorize the installation of non-Market apps.
Doesnt matter, pentile or not the Galaxy Nexus screen >>>>>>>>>>> Galaxy S2. I have them both sitting beside each other right now, its not even close. Primarily due to the resolution.
Agree, could not go back to my S2 after getting the Gnex.

Thanks for the tips. I tried the long press but nothing happened and I don't have (or can't find) the Google app. Am I the only person having this problem? A google search doesn't bring up any similar experiences.
There are comparisons between the two on gsmarena I think. Even with pentile, text is visibly sharper on the nexus.

well, the GNX and GS3 displays are better in every visible measure, but the psychologial effect of knowing it's a PenTile RGBG instead of an RGB Stripe is hard for some to overcome.
That's....weird. Did you disable any apps are any point? Go to Settings > Apps > All Apps, scroll to the bottom, that's where any disabled app is.
When you said you updated, did you mean a regular update, or like a rom/root thing?

I known this is normally asked in the appe threads, but is it worth waiting for the new GNEX to come out?
Getting bored of me iPhone 4 now and thinking of making the leap asap

Do it.
You can probably sell that relic for about $300 bucks and then only pay $50 more for a true portable pocketable computer.

I was going to hand it down to my mum, but there is way to much value in the phone! Don't know if that's heartless or not lol, but really feeling the GNEX
Is there a good video showing the basic ins and outs of ICS/JB? Just like the messaging app, the phone app, menu options, etc?
It's still one hell of a bargain at $350, but that would mean cursing your mom with an iphone. =D
You can find a bunch of videos from fanboys gushing over ICS on youtube. Android.com has a pretty good overview on ICS/JB though it's mostly text.

That, or it's just annoying when you can see the pentile grid.

Thanks that worked! I did have it disabled and I'm now able to access Google Now. Thanks again!
I think there's a lot of things more annoying than barely seeing the pentile grid on a 720p screen. 800x480 on a >4" screen is a good example.
ok roll call for anyone with an MHL adapter. i have the $10 from monoprice, and it likes to just switch off and on occasionaly while i'm using it. I've changed cables, inputs, power plugs, everything, and nothing really helps it. Anyone else have this? Is it just defective?
Im sure there are on Youtube, but tbh, you are already coming from a smartphone. The transition isn't going to be very jarring. My first smartphone was an iPhone. It took me all of a day to learn everything I needed to on Gingerbread. ICS is much better built and more intuitive. You should visit a local Sprint store where you can test out a GNexus. The GSM is the same thing, except we dont have carrier shitware on it and our updates are right from Google.
I had similar issues with the one I got, so not really sure.
GSM, CDMA, LTE?
The one from Google Play - unlocked, contract free, GSM. I'll be using it on Straight Talk's $45/mo unlimited plan.

Oh God, perfect setup and perfect use. AAA effort Simmy.
Hmmmm.
I can't really say cases because I have the LTE but you should be able to use the sweet pin docks.
I went with the Diztronic case for mine. Waiting for it, my screen protector and a router to arrive from Amazon now. Should get here Tuesday. But I hear the Diztronic cases fit the GSM perfectly, and fit the LTE version also, just not quite as well.
