Galaxy Nexus Tips And Tricks

A it says on the top, ODIN mode which is a flashing software for Samsung phones, I don't think it is normal unless you are doing some sort of key combo.

Can this be affecting my phone? How do I get it out of ODIN?

Does your phone turn on? What exactly happens?

Well usually I would just press the power button and that screen would disappear then I would like long press the power button again and I would get the Google sign and the phone would start-up like normal.

Startup time has gone from a good few minutes to 60 seconds.
Impressed so far!

4.2.2

cool! Any reports on it working for Sprint?

ETA: Apparently not :-(

Loving 4.2.2
Startup times are unreal, camera app is great, but best of all is the new keyboard with Swype.
Best of both worlds, the awesome stock keyboard but with Swype so that you have the option of using either at any time.

I like all that a lot. I hate that they got rid of developer options.

Just stumbled into something which has made my swyping easier. I use Swype beta on ny gnex as I found it the best. However, I've found that it chooses nonsense words over regular words. For instance, acc instead of and. BUT if you hard press on the suggestion which you don't like (in orange) it gives you the option to delete it from your personal dictionary ....bingo!

I use Easy Tether Pro with USB.

My biggest qualm with it is that anytime you pickup you cellphone and use the internet it disconnects.

Any others that don't have this problem?

I use Easy Tether Pro with USB.

The Play store says it's "incompatible with your Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus.". So before I put down $9.99 I just wanted to confirm if it worked for you.
