What a waste...such a nice looking phone with some decent hardware. Then it's the GN then. Time to find a cheap mint-condition second hand one

Ask u all ah. Screen glass crack and LCD spoil due to drop. Can warranty service?

Saw one on the forums last night. $340 for one still under warranty. I bought mine for $410 back in September..

Best to ask service centre bro. But most likely no. They will install a whole new led panel for you.

Must have been some drop. My gnex feels much sturdier than my s2 so far.

So guys, the new nexus line is out.

Nexus 4 is rather tempting, kinda like the idea of wireless charging.

but yea, would rather wait for 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus, furthermore i got mine when it was released in Singapore earlier this year

I have a question though for the Galaxy Nexus, has anyone recently faced problems downloading and/or updating their apps? I want to play with the updated Google Search and i cannot update my apps at all.

I am using Singtel as my telco running stock 4.1.2 unrooted and running Play Store version 3.9.16

anyone else facing a similar situation?


EDIT
found a solution, i had previously put a data restriction on Media, removing the restriction allowed the downloading/updating of apps through 3g

Nexus 4 so cheap. Can xchange ur galaxy nexus to nexus 4, since both phone cost the same.

USD 350 = SGD 427 at current exchange rate.
Ship over another $20 dollars? Since more than $400, is GST payable.
So all in all less than $500.
Now second hand gnex worth $340.

You want to top up the $160 for me? i change with you. since you say cost the same.

Tried playing 720p videos and found the current galaxy nexus laggy.

Anyone else similar experience?

Or, am i wrong to expect smooth playback from this phone's processor/gpu?

nope, you're not wrong. have you rooted?

 

[final1]

nope, now on stock version android 4.1.2.

Rooting will make the videos less laggy?

nvm, problem solved.
Just used a different video player.
Smooth video now.

Will vary the player depending on the video ^^

download VLC or Mx player.

 

[tcyeric]

download VLC or Mx player.

i would recommend DICE player on the whole plays a lot of videos very well, and no ads for a free app!

Users... is Galaxy Nexus's CPU/GPU still good enough for 2013 ?
