***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

OT

Embarresed to ask, but it has been so long...

Where do you go to change your AVATAR? Either my coffee hasn't kicked in or I'm half-******ed (probably the latter) but I can't find it in my profile settings. Thanks!

user CP wayyy up top in the left corner of your screen when your scrolled up to the top

Edit: well not WAY up top but right below the forum name there is a blue bar with a bunch of links its the the one all the way to the left.

so does everything still look like a go for tomorrow morning?

Ok, so let me get this straight. We are ~24 hours from one of the largest Android launches in US history (A Nexus on Verizon with ICS, a major OS overhaul) and yet we've received no official word from Verizon, no advertising, nothing on their website, no PRs, conflicting stories from resellers and CSRs, etc. etc. Color me skeptical. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect there are going to be MANY disappointed folks in here tomorrow.

Glad to see you are your usual "optimistic" self. LOL We wouldn't want you any other way. You bring balance.

It is rubbery.. but it has firmness, or almost a little backbone to it.

What 'exactly' are you describing?

Good Morning all! I have been getting ready to retire my DroidX for the nexus and was considering how to transfer everything stored on the sd card to the Nexus. I am thinking about using Dropbox or maybe WiFi Explorer. Any one else have any thoughts?

Having had a 16GB SD card go bad on me in the phone, I have religiously maintained a backup of my 32GB SD card on my laptop. That way I HOPE it won't be a problem to simply select the files I want and move them to Nexus.

That's the plan, anyway

I really hate to admit it to myself, but I'll be shocked if it is actually released tomorrow.

Try "Edit Profile Picture"

EDIT: Sorry not enough caffeine here either... try "Edit Avatar" under "Settings and Options"

Approximately 25 hours away.....

I have a plan, tell me what you all think,.
I have a upgrade date of 12/29 and if I pay full retail for the phone tomorrow then if I want to I. Can return it on the 29th and get my upgrade discount.
Can you all do the math for me and see if I'm right?

 

[mpsmit3]

I use my OG Droid as my alarm clock, using it on it's dock. It decided to freeze at 2:53AM, so it never reached 5:45 when my alarm would wake me up. My carpool in the morning showed up at my house at 7 AM thinking I had died since I wasn't picking up my phone either (still frozen!). They proceeded to ring the doorbell a billion times, with me looking at my clock to see it's 2:53AM and I thought that my house was on fire or something (why else would someone be ringing my doorbell at 3AM on a Wed morning?!)

Moral of the story - I need this Galaxy Nexus NOW! Must destroy OG Droid immediately!

How ironic! Mine did the same thing this morning.

Lol... imagine.

See if this worked...

I changed my profile pic from the TB in hopes that it will change my/our luck. Time for a new avatar and time for a new phone.

EDIT: HMM, old avatar is still there. Hope that's not a sign!!!

EDIT AGAIN: Does it take a while for the new pic to properly register? Thanks.

just have them do a manager override. You're close enough.

If it holds up, I will be at my local store in 24 hours.

Got my morning denial by telesales. Still no SKU for preorder.

Why not just connect both devices to your computer and drag the files from one to the other?

 

[statepenn03]

Me too! I plan on getting out to my local VZW corporate store around 8:30ish EST to play it safe.

 

[BabyBlues]

The big question is whether we'll see anyone born on launch day being named Nexus or Galaxy. I sure hope no one thinks Verizon would be a cute name. The kid would be quiet and despised for life!

I think we should start watching for announcements in 9 months for little ones.

Will stuff like the dock and the tpu case still work with the extended battery? I know it barely adds any bulk to it.. but just a little can make a big difference.

That's what she said!

We've still got room for you to slide yours in too!

Hahahahaha. Wow.

Avatar is different. Go into user cp and it'll be in a menu on the left

It sounds like you changed Profile Picture. What you want to change is Avatar.

Ninja'd of course. Should have known the Avatar Queen would beat me!

 

[bjanow]

Or call and have them note it on the account. If you pay ontime they will do it. Agreed, you are that close.

HAHA! Doh!
Thank you!!!

Yeah I will leave work at 8:30, and check out the store (only about 5 minutes away), if there is no one in line, there is a chick-fil-a next door, I will grab some breakfast.
