Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[TKEnzy]

You definitely are seeing the battery drain issue as well.

I'll keep everyone posted as I work with the dev to try and fix this. Wish I could do adb stuff at work to send him stuff he needs right away, but guess I can do that tonight.

Do you think it could possibly be Light Flow related? Would it keep the OS awake to check for notifications to trigger the lights?

No issues at all. Sound is just OK with the oem headphones. Pause switch works well no connection issues

Looks like I might have a hardware problem I don't want to take it back and have to go through setting up another one but I had looked forward to using it as an MP3 player with google music.

That is very weird. The guy charged me $37 for it in the store! I'm going to call CS today and hopefully return or get a refund on Tuesday. That's the next time I'll be able to get in there.

Everyone that I was in line with were asking about the half-price extended batteries but the VZW peeps weren't allowing it (said it wasn't coming up in the computer so they couldn't). That's the main reason I didn't pick one up yesterday.

Also say hello to 4.0.3 -- wonder if we see this soon.

Wish we could see 4.1 though with some cell radio improvements.

Titanium saved me twice. Once with the free. That's when I forked over the money. Then again when I borked the phone and re flashed but forgot to back up. I was able to go back 2 versions and get what I needed.

Once rooted, I'd gladly pay upwards of 15 bucks for Ti backup. It's that crucial....for me.

Wow, that was fast!

Looks like they've got video stabilization in there - hopefully that'll fix our problems.

Edit: NVM, I guess it's just an API for apps to access the stabilization capabilites. Boo.

Ahhh. It's so frakking refreshing to have a direct-from-Google-update system, isn't it?

Sorry I should have clarified, we got the loyalty discount on top of my wifes government job I apologize.

Yeah I got it when it was 4.99$.

No poop is Holy that I know of

Further 4.0.3 details from The Verge:

Android 4.0.3 includes bug fixes and new APIs, dubbed 'base version' of ICS | The Verge

"Google is calling this the "base version" of Ice Cream Sandwich that third parties will be pushing out on "production phones and tablets in the weeks ahead," so now developers have a nice juicy target to hit when Ice Cream Sandwich spreads beyond the Galaxy Nexus."

Hopefully this means that all the early issues that have cropped up will be fixed.

Thanks for this I linked you to this in the main forum.

I need my volume higher on my nexus. What is the best app to guve my ringer & notification sounds a boost?

Thanks in advance

I told the guy when checking out I would take the battery at half off like they were offering on their other 4g batteries a couple days ago, he did it without issue

 

[Stigy]

Do you think it could possibly be Light Flow related? Would it keep the OS awake to check for notifications to trigger the lights?

People over at XDA uninstalled Light Flow and saw the same battery drain. Not 100% sure.

Really don't know what to think at this point, but hopefully can shed some light with this dev tonight and some kernel work.

Maybe 4.0.3 will help?

Just tried a 3rd pair of headphones, philips brand with the L shaped plug and they work like a charm! Phew!

The Nexus doesn't support USB Mass Transfer since it doesn't have an SD card.

That's not the reason -- Phones w/o an SD card can support USB Mass Storage. The reason the Nexus can't is because they combined the user and system partitions into one big one (so less space is reserved/wasted), so the USB Mass Storage facility can no longer grant exclusive low-level access to the user partition by a connected PC or Mac.

People are saying keep awake might be Light Flow issues.

That sounds, uh, uncomfortable.

Meh, its a relevant expression at times like I'm having right now (trying to pass a kidney stone )

Oh no, hope it's over quick. Feel better jruther2!

So 22% for Android OS is normal?

Here's my Rezound usage after a morning of extended newsfeed reading, showing only about 2% usage by Android OS:

Argh. Doubletwist AirSync is so frakking slow! It's taking forever on my work's wifi to convert the second episode of Boardwalk Empire.

Thanks in advance

First try to use your integrated equalizer/sound effects it helped mine (fx booster). If not then Volume+ has worked with mixed results for many. Thirdly get the Zedge app, they have thousands of sounds many of which are much louder than stock ICS sounds. The stock ICS sounds are very low volume

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

Thanks Google - I already have it.

They were on top of that. ;-)

Good for you! I was wondering about that, but my headphones are L-shaped, too, so that's probably why I didn't have a problem.

The radio apps I tried, I think, aren't updated for ICS yet.

 

[AntimonyER]

Haha, I see this "lounge" topic is really turning into the Galaxy Nexus post-pre-release thread . Whats up everyone. How was the first 24 hours with your phone?

What trick was that?
