Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

K do you have the capability to compile a kernel or do I need to send you a zip compiled kernel

OK, I definitely need a zip:D but I'll send a PM with my email. I'm pretty tolerant to changes. I'll test for you. I'm currently running Lean Kernel 1.10. Can you let me know what the changes in this kernel are?

I sent you a pm but I am not going to spill the beans on changes just yet

Hey all, I think I figured out all the issues people have been having with the Gnex, mostly the radio and call issues people have complained about as well as the screen banding.

If you flip your phone around, looking at the back, you will see "Verizon" and "4G LTE"

Yup, there is your problem. I guess people who complained about those logos where right all the long. Not a "true" nexus device. The logos are there to prevent the phone from working right

:p

Okay, I probably need to go to bed :)

One good chuckle before I go to bed. Thanks

Guess I'll be the first one: Morning Nexicans!
The Prime has been awesome in the first night. Some issues with Netflix (did a factory reset, and now it works). Didn't sync any apps when I logged in? Just glad that out of the box, it has no problems with wifi tether (my Flyer and 10.1 needed some tweaks).

Nexus is working beautifully since I updated to AOKP 25 and the latest Franco kernel. Battery life is still atrocious, but I haven't taken too many steps to help it out (I'll probably give Juice Defender a shot tomorrow).
Hope everyone is on the mend and getting over their illnesses. Have a great day y'all!

Good morning Nexaholics! My 2nd replacement Nexus will be here today. Hopefully no screen "freak out", reddish tint, or one-way audio issues. :D I'm also hoping to get a job offer from a company I used to work for (my last day here is still March 16th). Finally, I have an interview with the bank that has purchased my current employer at 3:00 PM. I am excited as this is the 2nd interview and I made the first round of cuts. Keeping my fingers crossed for a GREAT day!

Good luck with the interview.:)

So I finally went to bed after midnight last night as I was having a nice PM conversation with a mod over a post I reported (I was just trying to learn a little as sometimes people go astray even though they are trying to help;)).

Anyway, bed at 12:15. Asleep when my head hit the pillow. At 1:00 AM I get the notification sound double tap(simultaneous email and phandroid PM notifications) and woke from a sound sleep to answer:D. Now I was in my bedroom, sound asleep, and my phone was charging on the kitchen counter:eek:.

I guess I'm an addict now:D.

Also anyone up for an Android powered oven by Samsung? Looks pretty neat.

Okay cool, thanks for the clarification. I didn't want to come off as haughty, snooty, condescending, etc., as I didn't know the particulars. I just want to try to help, and as you know, tone is very hard to convey online. Thanks for not misunderstanding my previous post. :)

I'm trying to visualize your setup... so your wireless router is physcially connected to your DSL modem/router, as are your workstations. The wireless router is configured to allow Internet connectivity ONLY, hence the reason for the setup. Is that correct? If so, I'm wondering if the wireless network feature of your DSL modem/router got accidentally turned on? That could explain why Nessie is butting heads with your workstation...

Thanks so much for your help and trying to understand! You are correct on the setup. No, the wireless is still off, and my phone IS connecting to the correct SSID (the other one doesn't even show.)

Disregarding my setup....I'd simply like to know how to get my phone to connect via a static IP. Has anyone done that yet? If I can get that, I can take it from there. I just don't know what's preventing my phone from letting me push the silly little "connect" button...lol.

Thanks again for the help!

Good luck with both of those! Let us know how it goes.

I'm glad you're insisting on another GNex. I think they are well worth it. I say that after my replacement arrived, but I felt that way before I got it...these are simply great phones! I went through no less than 5 DX's before I got the one I kept. (actually, 4, as 1 never arrived.) I just sold my DX on Swappa, and just heard this morning from the buyer - he and his wife are THRILLED with it! I feel like we're all riding off into the sunset.

Nice shot NC!

BTW anyone seeing 4G outage this morning? Seems to be making the rounds to all Android blogs this morning. I have been on 3G this morning so haven't seen anything, but wondering if anyone experiencing it.

Yeah, hit the new post's link and there is a thread in every Verizon phone forum about this:D. Reportedly a nationwide 3g/4g data outage again. I am still OK here in MA (3G only area) though.:)

Supposedly nationwide, but I am in Santa Barbara, CA...and I have 4g at 85dbm at the moment...it appears to be working for me....

Edit: spoke too soon. As soon as I wrote that, my 4g died. Gonna be a long day if that does not come back on. Jeez....VZW!!!!

Yeah, me too...:( five minutes after my post, data gone. On an unrelated note, has anyone noticed Verizon doesn't run that "America's most reliable network" tagline anymore:D
