Help Known issues with the Galaxy Nexus

almarpc said:

I noticed what I believe is a software bug in Gmail App for this phone. I have 3 Gmail accounts. Each of them I set up with a slightly different signature. I receive e-mails for all 3 accounts during the day. When I reply to received emails or create new emails, Gmail App inserts a signature associated with the account which was last previously used instead of inserting a proper signature associated with the account I am currently using. The only work around I found is to discard the message with the wrong signature inserted and then repeat the process to reply or create a new email. On the second attempt Gmail App "magically" inserts the proper signature for any given account. Pretty annoying especially since on my N1 with Gingerbread that situation NEVER happened before. I am able to recreate this error every single time I switch between the accounts.

I just recently bought a Galaxy Nexus GSM version on Rogers network in Canada and lack of in-call notification for incoming SMS and E-mail took me by a really bad surprise. As far as I understand there is no workaround for this issue. Your only option is to constantly watch the notification area while on the phone not to miss anything important. I did have a Nexus One before with Gingerbread OS and these notifications were functional. They are actually functional on any other smartphone I ever used so far (BlackBerry, iPhone (ugly and brutal but working) and Windows Mobile).

When using speaker phone with volume all the way up the tones are not recognized. If you turn down the volume the tones are recognized. Example, checking voicemail on speaker phone. If the volume us all the way up the system tells you that the password is incorrect. However, if you turn the volume down the system will recognize the password.

Known issue reported on droidforums.net.

Ok so I just got my GN GSM with a AT&T sim in. I turned on the phone and was signing into my google account. It told me to pick a wireless network which I have. I selected it, but the GN would not connect. It is a apple wireless router, so I have no idea if that is the problem or if it is the phone. I had the NS and it worked fine. If anyone else is having wifi issues please help. I just hope something is not wrong with the phone.

Have you tried resetting the router? It could be that simple.

Try a factory reset, if that doesnt work and you can replicate it easily, get it exchanged. Havent had any random reboots (mine is stock, locked and not rooted).

Already twice in the last 7 days, I was unable to hear the caller. All I heard was garbled / muffled voice the first time and almost nothing the second time. Each time I asked different friends to call me and the second time I asked my wife to call me from the next room from a land line. Heard nothing. Each time, I turned the phone off and on. Both times, the issue went away. I have never had this problem with any of my previous cell phones from Motorola or Nokia. The phone also reboots itself for no reason. It has done this about 5 times outdoors and indoors. At home, the phone was just sitting on my coffee table and all of a sudden re-boots.

I bought this phone from Costco about a month ago and they have a 90 days return policy. I REALLY do not want to return it as I have invested a LOT of time with uploading various apps etc. as well as a lot of other information. MANY many hours worth. BUT I may not have a choice.

Many have written about the problems with rebooting but has anyone else experience the problems with the phone?

Does anyone have an issue with the camera under the following conditions:

Open camera app and be in portrait mode for stills.
Take some pics in portait mode.
Switch to landscape mode and take some pics.
Hit your home button
Run some other app, wordfeud or moboplayer as an example
Turn off the screen.
Turn the screen back on.
Try to open the camera app.

For me, often it shows a locked view as if it tried to open in landscape mode and didn't know how to flip back to portrait. You try to hit "home" and it won't go as if the camera app has stopped working.

Eventually I get a message that it can't connect to the camera.

Only solution is to reboot and then go back in, which is time consuming and annoying when you are trying to snap a quick photo.

AM i the only one experiencing this issue? Stock rom, no unlocks/no rooting.

On my Yahoo mail account (yes I use Yahoo) The title of the email is blurred together with the email preview. It basically over laps the preview.

External speaker is a little low but not as bad as a lot are saying. I am sure a software update will fix this.

Signal strength is off anywhere from 7 to 10 db compared to my charge which was no champ in that area but seemingly better than the Galaxy Nexus. Again I am sure a software update will help. Or at least I hope it will

I'm wondering if I should exchange my device while I still can. I didn't really notice this during my first week or so with the phone since I was off work and at home for nearly every minute of the week... but my battery is absolutely atrocious. Now, believe me... I've seen the many posts on here about a bad battery, etc. But this has to take the cake.

Pulled the device off the charger and my circle battery widget showed 93% charged. Went out on the balcony to smoke a cigarette. Played Words With Friends or whatever it's called for no more than 8 minutes or so... by the time I got back inside (it was cold, I promise it wasn't very long) my battery was down to 68%. In 8 minutes...

Now, that was with NFC off, GPS off and Auto-Brightness on. But, even since then I've taken more precautions to try and conserve battery, including a task killer (which helped a bit), altering WiFi settings, turning off live wallpaper, and reducing the amount of widgets I used. Battery life has increased a tad, but I'd still go as far as saying it'd last about an hour off the charger if in use. Maybe 3 hours if not used as much.

Should I take it back? Live with it? Buy an extended battery (which I've heard isn't very "extended")? Please help, this is a little more extreme than most battery issues I've heard.

I noticed (and reported to Google) that (at least on my Nexus) the weather part of Google's news and weather app is broken. Weather will load up usually, but when I click on the screen or the info button, the app crashes every time. Anyone else have this happening to them?
