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.

I have an s3.

And since when do you pay for apps?  ;)

Just saw there's another app called EasyTether Carrier Edition which does work.

Just checked, It also says it's incompatible with my s3. Don't worry. probably Sprint blacklisting it. Doesn't show up on Google Play in the phone app. Online it does.

What will you gain by rooting?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

It's actually my father's phone. He's doing it because of the low volume (I know there's other remedies for that, but he pretty set on rooting it).

Care to elaborate? I tried an app called (I think) Volume+, didn't make a noticeable difference.

Don't know which, I just know they're out there.
What do the Nexus users posting here do about the low volume?

I noticed recently that my phone is getting a little sluggish. Sometimes when going to the home-screen it stays blank for like 5 seconds before I can see the apps. Is there a way to see what's causing that?

  I get that too. I think it's basically restarting your operation system..

The only way to fix is by rooting?
I also noticed that sometimes I have to hold the on button down for a few seconds for the screen to turn on.

I've been experiencing this for the past few months as well. I'm afraid that the G-Nex is struggling to keep up with the newest Jelly Bean updates. After all, it is an ancient phone at this point (in tech years). I think I'll reluctantly have to grab the X when it comes out.

sigh. I guess all good things come to an end. Or in this case; all good things don't stay good forever.

Like the new Dial Pad auto complete on the Nexus.  It's about time.
And they did a good job with it.

Also being able to use the volume key to take a photo. Super helpful.
