Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[jbdan]

Here is a thread I created asking about the horizontal clock dock. There is a link in the last post in the thread. It isn't released yet though, should be in a few days.

Final stat in the monster thread is that I was 236 posts behind Han. Not bad considering I didn't come into the thread and start posting until 10/19.

and the fact that at least 50% of you posts had 5 posts in them


Hi guys/gals!

Edit: posted in the wrong forum... glad to be here just the same.

ok overnighting matte "smoke" right now...I was actually too afraid to buy it ahead of time. I really wasn't sure this thing was coming at all until this morning! Plus I didn't want to jinx it

thanks for the advice!

Hey, hey, don't get a big head! I took several sabbaticals, remember?

Seriously, I hadn't looked at the thread count for like a week until today and I was SHOCKED that you were so close!!!

 

[drpotter2807]

CRAP!!! Been so busy at work ( WHAT!?!?!? Work??!?!) that

1) haven't been able to keep up with the Pre-release thread this am
2) Now its closed... ..understand, but still bummed

and most importantly...
3) I haven't been able to play with Nexie!!!

So who's already rooted? I'm new to that and a little nervous... I was thinking about just unlocking the bootloader for now so I can go ahead and start adding stuff to my phone.


And yeah.. I need help with that. I have a PC here at work and a MAc at home. Which is easier...

My 'more info' email just came in from Google. *smh*

Thanks Google - I already have it.

 

[soy.lor.n]

I was a bit apprehensive about stepping into BB's watering hole, but here I am!

Get out! We promised Leia!

 

[Cam]

Hey y'all! Can I play?

Just got my GNex a couple hours ago. I've never loved a phone so much!

I never realized I had so many posts in the GNex thread

When I first posted at the beginning of October, I told myself I wouldn't get sucked in again.


I have one stat that only steven can beat me in though....top 10 poster in the 2 most epic threads of AF history. What a run

Razor its good to see those links. I love them!

I'm glad people appreciate it. I like sharing knowledge!

BB,

I see that Steven credited me for creating your watery hole. I sent him a PM correcting that!
Just FYI.

Hi guys/gals!

I knew I shouldn't have done so many multi's!

 

[HanSolo]

All right guys, off to real life for a while.

I'll be back later.

Still not rooted, I'm a bit apprehensive about it. I thought it would be a 1-click root, but doesn't seem that way. I don't like the word ADB.

TTYL!

Thanks - I did too.

Here is a comment someone left in reply to me on a DL thread just now explaining how to unlock the bootloader on a Mac pretty clearly:

Just download the SDK: LINK
Download the fastboot: LINK
Copy the fastboot-mac into the "platforms" subdirectory of the SDK. Restart your Nexus & hold both volume keys/power button on boot. Once it has booted into the fastboot mode, connect the USB cable. From that platforms directory type:
./fastboot-mac devices (This will show whether your mac recognizes the Nexus)
./fastboot-mac oem unlock (Unlocks the phone; use volume keys to select "yes" and power key to commit change)

WOOO, unlocked phone via Mac!

Next up, rooting!

Anybody having trouble getting a 4G signal I had one when I was first driving home from the store and haven't had it since.. Only like 2 blocks away too so I don't think it's the distance

 

[akellar]

Yeah I'm hoping future updates address the signal strength for sure. I was easily getting LTE in my office with the rent-a-rezound and can't get it at all on this.

I'm glad they had enough to go around at downtown xing. I was worried for the people in the back when a bunch showed up around 7:45. I think the yellow spot up front in that pic is probably me. I ended up being 5th a little before 7:30. The first two guys in line got there at 6:20! (think they overshot a bit with that one).

I think I saw on here or on reddit that they were having some problems because so many people are activating this device lol

Hi guys/gals!

BabyBlues.
Queen of the multipost.

Spoiler

Or should I say, multi-postmic.

 

[ssick92]

Currently in my corporte store, got a 1 hour wait until my new GNex. Lots of people here actually...

 

[Sports1131]

Google just auto-downloaded all of my apps (which is cool) and I went in to do a little bit of cleanup and see a built in app called VZWAPNService. Any idea what this is?

 

[Shades.549]

One strange thing I noticed on my new GNex (nice saying that) is that every time I download an app from the market it places the icon for the app onto the home screen. This was before I upgraded ICS so maybe its fixed now or, maybe there is a setting for that somewhere.
I hope that the watering hole sees some action, although I am sure it will be no where as busy as the epic thread.

 

[tomato88]

This is great! I've seen many, many great posters who I really want to keep in touch with.
