galaxy nexus

Hi I'm finding it impossible to transfer files from my Galaxy Nexus to my Windows 8.1 laptop. My laptop appears to recognise the device fine, installs the drivers and I can open the drive in Windows Explorer, but when I get to copying the files, Windows gets stuck on "calculating the time...

When I got my Galaxy Nexus over a year ago I put my custom ringtones and notifications in the /Media/Ringtones and /Media/Notifications folders, respectively, selected my ringtones and it's been working fine ever since, even after the 4.3 OTA update. But I recently flashed the factory image for...

I want to be able to pass my phone to a friend so they can use the internet, but I do not want them to see email & text messages. Is there something I can setup or install so that when I pass the phone so someone else, I can hide messaging apps or create a new profile or something? Or maybe a...

Need the drives for this issue, been looking on Google and keep getting either dead links or sites giving me the run around.

Ok I am following this video and download the link and went into system recovery and selected the ROM zip file called FTL_AOSP_4.3_JSS15J_toro_07242013, and then click reboot system and it just says Android in blue flashing letters, it's stuck on the screen, what do I do...

Hi folks, Firstly I have not got a clue about software, firmware or anything like that so I apologise if I get confused with any replies! Basically, I smashed my screen in April and when I sent it off for repair I sent a letter with the phone and another letter in its own stating not to...

I am looking to buy a new phone, and as I've repaired my nexus 4 twice already, I'm sick of its fragility. I know the new nexus is coming out very soon, but as it will be at least 350 and after shipping and tax in my state it comes out to be around $400 and I do not want to spend that much. I am...

help! I'm using the Samsung Google nexus with android version 4.3 and for the life of me I can't change my lock screen wallpaper. Its driving me insane..I have nova prime as my launcher and Ive been all through it. Can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Sorry if this is the wrong...

I am selling my Nexus and want to make sure I completely wipe everything off of it. I know I can boot into either TRWP or ClockworkMod and wipe everything there, but besides doing the regular wipes, I will need to wipe the sdcard as well...correct? And then that wipes everything from...

HI all, Basically, I work in a noisy environment and would like to listen to music/radio from my Nexus phone. Obviously, the volume would need to be amplified so that I could hear it. I'm currently using a friend's old 'ghetto blaster' running through the headset jack via a 3.5mm lead, I then...

I'm currently using a Nexus 4 and loving the speed and smoothness. My mom is having me look for a new phone for her(she's on an el cheapo Galaxy Proclaim on Straight Talk) as my parents are switching from ST to Consumer Cellular(another AT&T MVNO). The Galaxy Nexus can be had in her price...

Hello, I have been on AOKP 4.1.2 for almost a year now and finally want to move on to 4.3. Is there anything I should know about the whole file movement subject or something about re-rooting it? By the way, my charge port does not work, will that make it harder to save files if they need to be...

I really liked this case but mine is cracking and cannot find any online anywhere. Does anyone know of an alternative hard case that is similar to the Ringke for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus with an extended battery? I like the fact that this case is slim and light so that is what I am looking for...

When I attempt to open the camera app I get a small notification that says, " unfortunately gallery has stopped." It then gives me and option to report or to press ok. I have been unable to use or open my camera for weeks. Any suggestions???

Hey guys, long time follower but first post. My Verizon GNEX's radio kicked the bucket but, the wifi still works great. Is there any way to get rid of all mobile related apps and functions through a rom or something?? Basically I'd like to turn it into a mini-tablet. Thanks in advance!

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Nexus in April 2012 and it is supposed to come with $10 Google Wallet credit. Now I've opened up Google Wallet but I dont see my $10 anywhere... My balance is $0

Hi. I recently moved and am shocked that I lose my signal about 100 ft from my house. I can walk out my door (no signal at all, can't make calls, send texts, etc), 23 steps to the road, then turn and walk 64 steps down the road and have 3 bars. My question: is there an app, tweak, trick, etc...

I used Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock & root friend's Nexus Verison phone. All that went fine, then I used the Toolkit to flash "Shiney" rom. I don't know what happened but now it won't boot all the way (Stuck on colorful x logo screen). I can get into fastboot mode, but toolkit is having...

I have the CDMA Nexus running on Sprint. First, let me say that I am not switching providers, so that's not a question that's on the table. I like/love my Nexus for all the reasons any of you can imagine. It's reliable, and, easy to Root and ROM. If I get bored, I can change it, and if I...

So... My (boot-unlocked) (Verizon) GNex won't get past the Nexus boot-up animation. If I leave it, it'll just keep doing that until the battery dies. I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I got it (so I wouldn't have to wipe it later) but I don't remember if I ever got around to rooting it...

Earlier today I went to unlock my phone and the PIN entry keypad wad unresponsive. About 5 seconds later the phone rebooted on its own. It then took an extremely long time to boot. After unlocking, I got a message saying that "system" was not responding, with an option to report (which I...

Nearly every time I go onto a regular forum that I frequent, I get an annoying pop-up advertisement on my mobile phone. The ad is about dating agencies and gives a URL in the pop-up. If I click 'OK' on the pop-up it then takes me to Google Play Store and wants me to download a dating agency app...

Hi there I have a samsung galaxy nexus and trying to copy my photos/emails and texts so I can reformat my phone. What does rooted mean? Can I do it via the phone as my PC at work wont let me connect my phone. Can anyone help. Thanks

I setup an old GNex for my wife last night (she hated iOS7 and wanted Android) and I noticed that the option for push vs pull for email (Gmail and Exchange) weren't available. I don't recall this from when I used the phone but maybe it was missing then as well. Is there something I'm missing...
