At this point, I'm going to go order a full body Best Skins Ever for the phone. Only $10/shipping. Hopefully it works out better.

That's why I use the Ringke Slim. There's no slimmer hard case available.

SGS2 worked super well with syncing and the Nexus is great with syncing high resolution photos (manually only.) But I haven't been able to get a sync of contacts+Facebook together yet, only separate and it's useless having 2 contacts in your address book, one for Facebook one for Contact.

Update

HaxSync is AWESOME - xda-developers

Still would like to hear about your experiences with syncing though...

Problem with haxsync is that it syncs all your contacts. Even ones that aren't in your phonebook.

^ did you get that case online too? How's the quality/feel compared to case mate's barely there?

Yup. Bought it online. I found the quality really good. The finish better than casemate. However not everyone is going to like it due to the minimal side protection. This is the hard case if you want the least bulk.

btw. The casemate doesn't fit the GSM. It's meant for the LTE. I have it lying around now.

Armind 01-29-2012 05:43 PM

Some people reviewed the case scratching the phone. =\

Neo Hybrid vs Ringke Slim now.

:considered:

!MiKrofT 01-29-2012 06:11 PM

Dunno how they would. They probably had something trapped between the case and the phone. The inside is lined with soft touch as well there's the leather pad.

All depends how much protection you want.

I'm using the XO screen protector. A little rubbery but offers the best protection as most of the full face dry ones seem to lift on the top and bottom edges.

Did you get the regular size xo skin Samsung Galaxy Nexus Screen Protector Samsung Galaxy Nexus Screen Protector | No Orange Peel | Hides Fingerprints | Clearest Screen Protector - $13.46 : Screen Protector | Screen Protectors | Shield | XO Skins or the case fit? Samsung Galaxy Nexus Screen Protector Case Fit Samsung Galaxy Nexus Case Fit Screen Protector | No Orange Peel | Hides Fingerprints | Clearest Screen Protector - $13.46 : Screen Protector | Screen Protectors | Shield | XO Skins

I have a otterbox, do I need a case fit or will the regular be ok?

Armind 01-29-2012 09:37 PM

need a pro to apply my screen protector, i like the xo one after seeing that vid. pew pew pew

Kamui712 01-29-2012 09:48 PM

I think what i'll do is use the wet protector on the body and a dry protector on the screen - that way the screen is clear /smooth without that rubbery feel.

Armind 01-29-2012 10:05 PM


!MiKrofT 01-30-2012 02:56 PM

I used the full face one because my case doesn't cover any of the screen except the thin bezel at the top and bottom.

JordanLee 01-30-2012 10:46 PM

Finally unlocked/rooted/CWMed my GN today and installed Manhattan + Franco kernel. But I've noticed Google Wallet keeps force closing on me (not that I can even use it.) Tried deleting it in the apps settings but to no avail. Any one else have the problem?

FerrariEnzo 01-31-2012 01:19 PM

was browsing the Howardforums.com and read this

Could Google be working on a slightly updated version of the Galaxy Nexus
8MP camera and a 1.8ghz dual core... hmm... sure hope they will make it this time with external memory card

CP.AR 01-31-2012 01:44 PM

^ if they do actually do that - I'm sorry but my faith in google will be lost

Well, sold my sgs2 and got a Nexus yesterday :)

Anyone else notice that if you turn the screen off while downloading something in the background the wifi speed seems to throttle down A LOT? i queued about 5 apps to download from the market and switched off my screen to save battery. Five mins later it was STILL downloading the first app...
Never had this problem with the sgs2

Armind 02-01-2012 12:08 AM

SupraTTturbo2jz 02-01-2012 12:19 AM

proof

becuz i dont get that

SupraTTturbo2jz 02-01-2012 12:36 AM

how do i prove? my htc sensation was on 33hrs average life span and this nexus beats it. maybe you're using different settings. I only rooted and CWM mine, everything else stock, plus not every phone/battery is the same. Drained it completely two times wait for it to die and charge, Auto brightness on. Battery will die faster if there is no reception at my work but today laster way longer than yseterday. Yesterday's was down to around 48% same use.

Tim Budong 02-01-2012 12:43 AM

SupraTTturbo2jz 02-01-2012 12:45 AM

Tim Budong 02-01-2012 12:56 AM

Dude you need to show us a print screen of this so-called "33 hour battery" that you have on this phone. If you manage to prove that you're getting 33+ hours on your phone...I will buy it from you...I will give you above market price for it. $700 cash.

SupraTTturbo2jz 02-01-2012 01:03 AM

it shows 6 secs on battery uptime now only..maybe my battery holds longer life or something. Mine was from overseas. It goes down to 48% if there is no reception sometimes so i guess depends where you are too? im with fido. I can test again tmrw n take screenshot or whatever. The guy sold it to me sealed 540, the crap thing was that it only had the foreign power plug

!MiKrofT 02-01-2012 01:08 AM

LOL. Did someone say ~30hours?
