First off, hello. im josh and im new here. i would be accessing this on my wonderful nexus, but its crapped on me.
I would like to state that a replacement phone is on the way, but i would like to investigate my problem further so that if it was my fault it doesnt happen again.
So while trying to update my X2, it crapped on me. Verizon very nicely replaced it with the Galaxy nexus. ive had it less then a week and have fallen in love with it. Go extended warranty yea!
but......it stopped working. i woke up, went to answer a text..... then it all started happening. it would freeze, reboot, then repeat. even if i got past the lock screen, it would shortly after freeze then reboot. i filmed it. nonstop rebooting. its still doing it as we speak.
i have not rooted the phone. all i know is when it came, it had the most up to date publicly released ICS.
i installed..
yahoo mail
cnn
fox
dolphin HD
starfire( i think, a crappy pay for browser)
skype
WTOV9(app for local news channel)
and thats rly it. no games at all, and like i said, not rooted.
i didnt want to root since for my uses its not needed and i like my warrenty
ive heard other ppl that have skype are running into this problem on nexus ICS.
now im getting a replacement, but in case it was a nasty app i i cant have it happen again. there is absolutely no way to access the phone to delete skype if it happens again. the Verizon rep tried everything she could and she couldnt access it. hard resets, battery pulls, a DIFFERENT battery ect ect. nada. it is unusable.
heres a kicker, this phone is refurbished, its a replacement phone. when i boot up, it says google, and has a unlocked lock icon at the bottom of the screen. i have no idea what that means. one of the other reps at the verizon store also had a nexus and told me that means its rooted. she showed me hers and hers did not have the icon at all, locked or otherwise. Did verizon ship me a rooted phone? if so wtf??? thankfully they didnt seem to care or make a big deal about it and i should expect ANOTHER replacement phone tuesday. very short wait for me.
i dont know anything about kernals and what not, i didnt do anything to tweek my phone. it was stock besides the above news apps and such.
i tried to google this and found some results, but not one of them were as bad as mine in the same circumstances. the only results i found were ppl who had rooted. maybe it did come rooted??? i have no idea. imma just leave this page up and refresh every now and then since im phoneless atm the moment.
I would rly appreciate some input on this, and if u have any more questions about my situation, ill try my best to answer them. Thanks!
