Any recommended screen protectors for the Galaxy Nexus?
The XO skin I had on my old Galaxy Nexus was pretty good. Wet application, no orange peel, felt pretty smooth.

I've tried two JB roms (Vicious Toro 4.1.1 and Jelly Belly 3.6) and I cannot get my Exchange contacts to sync on either. Exchange email and calender sync fine, but no go on contacts. Never had this issue on any earlier versions of android. Everything else seems to be working well, so I'd rather not have to switch back to ICS. Any ideas?
3.6 is out already? christ this is more effort than it's worth.
EDIT: has anyone used Pete's Bugless Beast yet for the gnex? His gingerbread fork for my OG droid was a godsend, and the guy is really on top of his builds
its going to take 2 months for your replacement to arrive?
I've been using it for a couple days. I also used to love his stuff for the OG Droid and this one is great. Feels faster to me than Jelly Belly did (3.4 was the last iteration that I was using). Both JB and BB have given me fairly long reboot times, but I've been reading stuff over at RootzWiki and it sounds like that's a problem inherent to JB. Hopefully it gets cleared up soon. Either way, don't get nervous if your phone stays on the Google logo for several minutes when you boot it up. I just tested mine and the Google logo was on screen for 2:50. Then it's on the Nexus boot animation for <30 seconds. Weird.

Went over my phone's settings and talked to our IT guy and everything seems to be set up correctly on our end (exchange 2007). Tried another JB rom (BAMF) and had the same problem with exchange contacts, so restored back ICS (AOKP M5) and everything is working fine. I had various android phones going back to eclair and I've never run into this issue.
Have you flashed a JB bootloader? During my short time on Jelly Belly v3.6, I had pretty quick boot times (post install boot was slow as expected).

Ah, I see the problem.
You're not using Chrome.

It's a little annoying, but now you have access to everyoption without going into the overflow menu.

I had a JB boot loader flashed when I was on Jelly Belly and I had the same issue, although it was about half and half (sometimes it would take forever to boot, sometimes it was just fine). Right now I am using the JB bootloader that Peter Alfonso has on his download page.
I just wiped my cache, reflashed that bootloader, and restarted it. Google logo went away after just a few seconds. However, it did that the first time I booted this ROM. Right now it is optimizing my apps again. Another reboot annnnd... it's booting "normally" again. Huzzah! When I flashed Pete's ROM, I did the ROM, bootloader, and radio all in one go. I wonder if maybe it didn't take the first time.
I got my Google Nexus from the play store a couple days ago and today was my first full day with the phone going from 100% battery and I have a question...
Is this normal?
21% after 9 hours? I feel after that usage the screen is eating up way too much battery, I'm running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, everything is on stock.

Probably close to 4 hours I would guess.
I get about 15 hours, with 3 of those being sucked up by the screen
Its new, the novelty will wear off and you wont be looking at the screen all the time lol. Battery life gets better after that.
I have GPS, WiFi, etc on all the time, never turn them off.
1hr 24min screen time. I listened to music at work today for a few hours, some on my device but some also streamed from Google Play music, probably why media server is up there.

Pretty much this. You can't stop playing with it cause it's new.
My average screen time is like 40 mins per day, so don't worry about it.
All yall assholes were too lazy to find some instructions for me so i find my own way to get yakju on my phone. Don't know what I did but I have jellybean finally
give a man a fish...
Turn off auto-brightness as well.
With the subject of battery life coming up, you have to make sure your battery is calibrated properly before you get too worried about it dropping fast.
(Note: You need to be rooted for this)
Whenever I do a full wipe to install a new ROM (which isn't very often, currently running Jelly Belly 3.6), I always wipe battery stats as well. Then next full charge, I run the battery down til the phone shuts down to recalibrate and repopulate the stats.
For example, my phone has been sitting at 4% now for hours. It got to 15% and told me to charge, but it keeps chugging along. The phone thinks that the battery is almost empty, but in reality, it isn't.

Well alright then.
However, I would like an explanation as to why the battery indicator decreases quickly then gave me several hours when <5%.
you would have to do both. It would be unrooted again when you were finished, but you would have to wipe the whole thing
Not happening without the latter two things.

Just got my OTA Jelly Bean. Came from some random I/O 4.1 stock rom with an "unknown" Radio. Now at 4.1.1.
Yay!
Yay!
You are going to have to unlock the bootloader and it will wipe everything

I'm on 4.1 and I was prompted with an ota update, it restarts with android laying down with a red exclamation mark.
I'm guessing I have to OEM lock the device right (its unlocked), if so will this wipe everything or can I lock the bootloader without the hassle.

It has nothing to do with the bootloader. It can be unlocked. Make sure your radio is XXLA2, that's what it was for me when I got the red exclamation mark.

I bit the bullet and upgraded to the Gnex for $50 on Verizon. I unlocked it, rooted it and installed Vicious 4.1.1. Great phone so far. I love the JB voice search (kicks Siri's ass) and the UI is so buttery. just waiting on my case, extended battery and screen protector before I start abusing it.
