From my experience, end of life phones are typically replaced with newer models. Crossing my fingers that they send you a DINC2! Eloquently thumbed from my Galaxy Nexus

I know its been covered in other forums, but the Phantom Skinz full body, or chromatics, are an awesome alternative to cases. I like mine naked too (lol), but the skin provides pretty decent full coverage plus adds a really comfortable amount of grip. PhantomSkinz.com Eloquently thumbed...

If you have access to a Verizon store, I would definitely look into getting a new SIM if your problem persists. It's free, only takes a second, and you won't lose any of your information. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Firstly, I'm incredibly new to the rooting/rom. I flashed Liquid Smooth to my GNex and it couldn't have been simpler. I don't know how this rom ranks in performance or popularity, but it has been wonderful for me. Quick and simple. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I had a very similar issue with my GNex. However, after I flashed 4.0.4 and rooted it, the problem seemed to vanish. Fingers crossed that it is something an ota can resolve. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I'm surprised they battery lasted long enough to type out that message. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Now that sim cards are used daily, most of them are free at any Verizon retailer. Sorry you had to grab one before Verizon knew what to do with them. They typically charge in store "activation/set up" fees for phone from third parties, so you probably would've been out a few bucks anyway...

BlackBerry might as well have a crank to start bootloader. Additionally, most rooted devices have the option to edit boot animation for those with absolutely zero time to spare Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Exactly right. I've seen several devices with shattered displays, but flawless gorilla glass. Mostly in the razr right now. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I live in a very rural area of Appalachia. HTCs typically fail pretty hard in marginal coverage areas. From my experience, you'll see improved signal strength with any Samsung phone over an HTC, but even more so with a Motorola or LG (yuck). Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Wet application screen protectors are surprisingly tough. I have a Steinheil on my nexus, no case, and it has survived two terrifying parking lot drops. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

My coworkers and I have been using beam to share some media files and a few apks. Not too sure how unique beam is to the nexus, but it's still pretty neat. The rapid fire shutter speed is usually pretty impressive to show off as well. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I've used an OB defender with both a bionic and a razr, works wonderfully. Though the gorilla glass is incredibly scratch resistant, the actual display behind it can still be damaged by a drop or two. Even more so with the thinner models of phones. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

The bootloader on both the bionic and razr are incredibly quick. Especially compared to other devices. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

For the sake of clarity, on a cdma network, activation on 3g phones are not associated with the sim in any manner. 3g cdma phones with global capabilities will have sim cards, but the activation is still tied to the esn. Any LTE device on a cdma network will indeed have a fully functional sim...
