It's "just" Fido...I've had this phone longer than most and am on Fido and have yet to have problems with my icon switching to E other than places where I have really poor reception.

If your logo changes when you wake up every morning, I imagine it has something to do with a power-save mode that you may have enabled in your ROM. Check to see your battery saving settings for sleep modes.

Well isn't that a good thing you're in edge when you don't need it..? Is it at least on H+ when you are browsing the internet or downloading something lol because if only happens when you first wake the phone, I don't get why you're angry.

^ Sometimes it takes forever to go to G/3G/H or out of the sudden the signal drops.

I'm on Rogers and I find reception about the same as any other phone I've owned.
My phone is almost always reporting full bars.

PS: Anybody else noticing epic battery life with stock 4.04?

Finally on board with Gnex now since my galaxy S decided to die. 4.0.4 is a damn nice update compared to 4.0.2.

Easiest way is to make a backup in recovery first before flashing anything just to be safe. That way you can always revert if necessary.

But yes you just flash the 4.04 (imm76d) under yakju maguro on that page in fastboot mode.
The nexus is pretty much impossible to brick if you know what you're doing.

Shitty deal...You'll be looking @ $250-$350 to get the part; probably an extra $50-$80 for labor.

Buy a new phone...

Yeah the screen is really hard to replace on these new devices if you've never done it before. The glass is glued to the digitizer and requires a heatgun or blowdryer to remove as well the entire phone's gotta be disassembled. Looking at eBay nobody is selling just the glass itself so you'll have to replace the entire LCD+digitizer+assembly which after shipping is $300. Might as well buy a brand new one for $424.

Try reseating your sim card? Otherwise it must be the phone as no one else has reception issues.

It's really easy to do once you take the time to read the instructions. Best way to do these kinds of things is find a YouTube video because u can pause and watch to make sure you're getting what they are and you're doing what they are.


Make sure you read the description in the YouTube video first so you can check off the things you need before starting.

Everyone has their own way of using their phones. I personally cannot imagine using my phone on a stock ROM. I need to be able to play around with things like themes, icons, tweaks, etc. It keeps the phone new and fresh and exciting. Prevents me from having to buy another phone for a little while longer.

Speaking of, I need to get my hands on an HTC One X.

Do you have any early nandroid backups? Restore one of those if you do.

If not, take your sim and put it into another phone, you gotta figure out whether it's your phone or the sim before you go around messing with everything else...

I thought it's official as of now? I've always used custom so I can't say for sure.
