Quick question, does the verizon galaxy nexus come with a sim card?

If so, will this phone be gsm compatible after the unlock?

thanks!

I had the exact same issue. I am trying to remember this from memory so bare with me please. Do a battery pull. Put the battery back in. Hold the volumn up and volumn down while powering back on the device. Then when you see the screen with a “Start” displayed. Volumn up or down (again I cant remember) until you see Recovery mode. Select that (then push power for “Okay”.Once it goes into the recovery mode I had to push the volumn up or down…maybe even power in there. until I found Clear Cache, I did that and then I restored to factory settings. Once my phone went through all of that (took some time). I found out my phone was still unlocked and my phone worked fine. So maybe just try to do the clear cache.

Worked fine for me.

Warning! It worked great. Right up until the point it started to boot loop. ( I have the Galaxy Nexus Verizon version) I unplgged it after 5 minutes of bootp looping the pretty colors, and now it only shows the Google and Unlock graphic and continues to boot loop until I pull the battery. and , and now the only other mode I can get it to is Odin Mode. I found some article on how to recover, but can’t seem to get into fastboot mode to help me recover…HELP!

Unlocking the Bootloader takes about 1 minute. Trying to figure out how to install and configure SDK correctly takes hours, and all directions I’ve found suck!

Wow, I’m getting royally scr00wed. Followed the instructions for unlocking bootloader via adb (android sdk), and superboot with the recommended usb driver via Samsung and PDAnet… and I’m still getting the “waiting for device” prompt with no follow-up options.

What am I doing incorrectly? Is my device and unlockable device (if that exists)?

I get to the reboot bootloader, then when I go to unlock the bootloader command it says it is waiting on device…..what to do and how to do it? Thanks

After some thinking, I suspect the higher res screen is what is causing it to lag more. Hopefully, there can be some sort of work around for it. I know different launchers would react differently to live wallpapers, so maybe there can be a software fix for it. Good luck

ive noticed the same thing K1ng. i was more than a bit disappointed to see that when running a live wall paper it does stutter/lag a bit when changing screens. My droid X handled my matrix wallpaper fine. The nexus does not. Dual core 1.2GHz what?
