I'm hoping my phone doesn't have any defects. Will Google still be able to issue replacements if mine were to be messed up?

They've been sending people to samsung but the policy appears to be in flux

My hotness just arrived and is arleady de-boxed, put together and plugged in. Its updating everything, looks like an early software build - still had "Google Market" on it.

And I was hoping for some jelly beans as a nice little treat. That's the next thing we can count down I hope the days till we get some jelly bean sweetness!

That old version IMM30D is precisely the one (and the only one) that will accept the easy upgrade to JB at the moment. If you accept an OTA right new to a newer version the JB upgrade becomes a lot more complicated. That is unless you want to wait for the official ota.

I just purchased this one with overnight shipping, for $14 it's cheap enough that if I don;t like it I won't really care.

Let me know how you like it. I won't get mine til Monday I think

Yeah - anybody have an idea when these unlocked GNex will get the OTA Jelly Bean update? I know it's "soon" but how soon is "soon"? Obviously these will be the absolute first devices to get the update, so I'm not worried.

I got my phone. The screen looks good no issues, just like I remembered from before. I couldn't help myself and, have already unlocked the boot-loader, rooted and, installed JB. I'm in the process of restoring my Google account now. I can already tell the difference in how it runs compared to Ics.

I got mine!!! My ups wasnt update at all. I was refreshing alll day lol. Got home sitting between the screen door n front door. Pretty excited

Which JB did you install?

It's a stock one from the XDA forums. I didn't follow those instructions exactly because I used the toolkit to do some things

What a beautiful phone.....first thing that struck me was how light it is for being so big.....and how very different ICS is.

love it

Unfortunately these devices are notorious for having defective screens. Some much worth than others. Most noticeable when you turn the brightness down low the screen then casts purple. Some unlucky souls have returned as many as four times to get a good screen.

Turned my brightness down it casts purple....:-\. I turn it up it looks fine.

Not good Now you have to decide whether you want to live with it or attempt to get a replacement.

Efrant is awesome! Why the rom though vs. the ota for IMM30D?

 

[ncguy]

what screen issues are you talking about?

See prior post

IDK, I guess I could have went that route. I got so familiar & comfortable with having CWM installed and doing everything from there. It's running really well and I like it a lot. I haven't put the phone down yet, since I posted about receiving it.

I GOT MINE!!!

Letting it charge up before digging in too deep.

Are you guys talking about when the brightness it set all the way to the bottom that it casts purpleish? If so, I look at that as sort of a "night mode" when that really dark tint would be desirable. I notice as soon as I bump it up just slightly "normal" colors instantly return.

But maybe you guys are experiencing more purple than I am. Because I only notice the purple when the brightness slider is set to "0" - which I think I would like to have that option.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but will I be able to go to my local Verizon store and buy a case/screen protector and it will fit fine? I am assuming the phones are the exact same height and width.

And in regards to screen defects are the only problems the purple tint issues? I'm just so afraid I'll discover dust or smudges under my screen (like was the case with my iPad). I've read that it's pretty much impossible because of the Super Amoled screens.

If it doesn't bother you than its s non issue. I have 2 GNs now and I get no purple on a white screen with dim turned to lowest.
