Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[Lucky Armpit]

I just got my replacement Nexus today. I don't know if this is good or bad, but the manufacture date is 11/19/11, which is older than the device it replaces. I will activate it here shortly and post the other vital specs.

**edit** Everything else is identical, except for the manufacturing date -

Baseband: I515.09 V.EK05 / I515.EK02
Kernel: 3.0.8-gaaa2611 android-build@apa28 #1
Build number: ICL53F
Manufacturing date: 11/19/11

As a side note, I was trying to download my music again and the phone just absolutely freaked out. It acted as if one was rapidly swiping their finger back and forth over the screen. I couldn't shut it down gracefully so I had to pull the battery. Wow, I hope that was just because it powered up and downloaded/installed 20+ apps at once. If not, I'm keeping my old one!

My replacement was manufactured 11/22/11, a few days before my original one. I can say my screen was better on the replacement and I did not even know the other one was "not good". Blacks were much better and contrast greater. Good luck, hopefully this one will not have any issues.

Hey fellow Gnexers!

Wow, what's up with all these sick people? My Darling Bride is down for the count... and I am DETERMINED not to get sick myself!

Hope all you sick folk feel better soon

Spoiler

Well, the guy from Nantucket has quite a limerick going for him... but at least he has better fortune than the guy from Rangoon

You need any free production legal, let me know

Awesome. That sort of stuff is one of the reasons why I want to do the UCLA professional program - it's tough to learn as you go I've learned. And if you screw up, it's a pretty big problem.

Beaming with your sister huh?

 

[blkbeltkid17]

Beaming with your sister huh?

Sounds fun

Jeez, I guess I'm lucky with this non-sickness. The only time I've left work sick is when I had bronchitis and couldn't talk. The luxuries of working in the restaurant industry.
Feel better everyone!

I went about setting up my new Nexus today and I noticed that the screen appears to have a reddish hue. I thought I was seeing things but I put it next to my existing Nexus and sure enough, the new one looks different. Not necessarily bad, but different. I always thought the other one had a bluish hue, lol. Is there any way to adjust that, or is that simply differences in manufacturing?

I think some of the kernels now have the ability to tweak colors. Pretty sure Lean Kernel and Franco both have that ability. I would try flashing one and adjusting the color on it to see if it helps.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a quick trip the last week in March? Wife likes beach, or anywhere warm with a pool. I prefer snow, lol. I guess I'll give in and go warm.

Nothing like SoCal for options. Beach and snow all in the same day. Hit Malibu one day, then next day drive 2 hours to Big Bear to ski/board. Or Palm Springs. Palm Springs could be 80's-90's by then. If you wait to mid-April, you could catch the Coachella Festival. Or avoid it

A cruise.

At the top of the list The only problem is the nearest port is so far away we would have to fly...might as well just fly somewhere and stay at a resort if we have to do that Cruises used to depart from Mobile, AL which isn't too far, but I haven't seen any departing from there in March.

Thief urinates on transformer, gets burns, jail | Technically Incorrect - CNET News

And more OT, CNET reports that Apple is settling the class action over antennaegate. $15 or a free bumper to all!

Is that when spring break starts?
If so,I would avoid any beach seen.

Haha, yeah. Gotta take vacations when the wife isn't teaching (which means, we take vacations when college/high school kids do too...). May wait till the summer, but not sure yet.
