The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[OneTenderRebel]

I think it's the anticipation and not the venting that is increasing the page count. Took 2 weeks to get to 2000, and we added 500 posts in the last 28 hours alone. 3k isn't even in question.

we may get to 3,000 before midnight, haha

This may be a stupid question but for those who have switched phones (rooted) were you able to load all your titanium backup apps with data on to the new phone? Not like going from a D1 to a new D1 but going from a D1 to a Nexus? When I get my Nexus I want to be able to take all my apps from my D1 and load them right on to that bad boy with a seamless transition, no data lost and the whole 9.

TiBu was just updated for ICS but as far as your apps, you'll find out!

Shadez saves the day!! (including all of the quotes!!)

And yes, I definitely knew what you meant....my face really did look like this :blink: when I read it the first time though!!

And thanks for the response....I haven't looked, but is there a case with a kickstand? I find I don't need the HDMI dock if the case has the kickstand. And it's nice for watching movies when bored at work.

I like the hdmi DOCK for the fact that you can plug a regular hdmi chord into it. i dont want a special chord, ill use the featurw like one or twice so the benefit of a dock is good. And it sits upright which is great for my nightstand.

First of all the lucky dude who was holding one - wash your hands!

Second the Bionic extended battery which was huge and heavy fit the dock perfectly.

Third, is there an implication that the extended won't fit into the dock? If so it's a no go.

Lastly, how much bigger is bigger?

I'm going to use MyBackUpPro and see how it works. Went from D1 to Bionic with very little problems.

I don't see why it would be a problem. I used TB to take my DX to my Bionic and then my wife's DX to her Razr. I've heard some say to let the market get the updates, but an app that works in GB should work in ICS (same framework). I wouldn't do a batch with all apps though - this would be a good time to clean out old apps and only install what you want. When I went to my Bionic I walked thru the TB apps and restored all I wanted, then didn't delete my old backups in case I missed something. Everything has worked great since.

Random question here...

I've never waited for a phone like I have for the Nexus, and I have never purchased a phone on the release day. I've been looking into the Nexus since September. But I was wondering if anyone knew how early I should be there before it opens? I don't want to be leaving there without the phone.

yeah I don't have many app's as it is but some of them I have built up enough data that losing it would be a major headache.

No official word, but she said Friday. Booted it up,looks nice. No sim card in it though. Not as much heft as my x, but didn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. Absolutely getting one release day. The curvature of the screen is very subtle.

Most of the Data won't come through unless you've rooted both phones.

Also I recommend doing two backups - one with contacts and one without. It's better if Google sync's them - but if that fails you have a backup.

Thats a great question, its really hard to guage though. im going in an our or two before it opens just to see if their is a line or anything and if one starts ill be right their. Maube, maybe not ya know? Im not sure how many people are in this phone aside from this community.

oh yeah I know, they will both be rooted. That was never in question, haha.

How hard is it to root and unroot the Bionic and the GNEX?
