Make the Samsung Galaxy Nexus full screen

Another cool mod from the legendary XDA developers forum. You will need your handset rooted for this to work and as always we would advise against this unless you’re pretty confident in what you’re doing. However, if you are interested in modding your phone, FreeYourAndroid is a good place to start.

This video shows the Galaxy Nexus in full screen mode, removing the soft buttons at the bottom of the display. I can’t help thinking it would combine well with using the Galaxy Nexus as a desktop computer!

Personalised Galaxy Nexus Battery Cover (standard & extended)

You might like to personalise your device in one way or another.  A case is one thing, backgrounds are another, but if that still isn’t personal enough for you, how about a laser etched image on the back cover of your Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

For $45 you can get a fully customised 2” x 2” laser etched image onto your battery door or for a lesser $30 you can choose from a range of 5 different designs.

This is a project that needs funding (a bit like the kickstarter programme we have covered before) the project is raising funds on Indiegogo.

What are your thoughts?  Is this something you would be interested in?  Maybe even for other devices?

Use the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as a desktop computer Part 2

We came across an interesting video last week showing how the Samsung Galaxy Nexus can be used as a desktop computer. It seems the video has had a lot of interest over the web and creator Christian Cantrell has now created a second, more detailed video. For more info check out his blog, Living Digitally.

Use the Galaxy Nexus as a desktop computer

The video below is a demonstration of how you can use a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (or any other handset with video out) as a desktop computer. The Nexus is perhaps the best example at the moment with its ICS capability and powerful processor. The same setup with a Samsung Galaxy Note could be good as well, perhaps replacing the need for a tablet in some cases. This is certainly the road that convergence technology will take as phones become more powerful, working from one or two devices in various locations/setups.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus 32GB Confirmed For UK Release, Available To Order Now

We are pleased to announce that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 32GB is now available to order from the Clove website. The 32GB version was listed by some retailers late last week alongside the White Galaxy Nexus. However, while the white version of the Galaxy Nexus had been officially confirmed for the UK, the 32GB version had not. This morning we have had word from Samsung that the 32GB version will be launched in the UK so we have now made it available to order, priced at £491.66 (£589.99 inc. VAT) At the moment we anticipate stock arriving mid to late February, slightly later than the White Galaxy Nexus, which is due the week commencing February 6th. As usual we will keep you posted with any updates.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus White–Official Image

Yesterday we told you that in early February the White version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16GB was due to be available.

At the time, we did not have an image of the phone in white, and it seems there has been a ‘mocked up’ image circulating the web.

The official colour/look of the phone in white will be as follows:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus White Coming Early February 2012

We have just had news that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available in white as of the week commencing the 6th February. It will be offered at the same price as its silver sibling (pictured left), which is currently £415 (£498 inc.VAT).

The Galaxy Nexus launched at the end of 2011 amongst much publicity and was one of the biggest handsets of the year. Samsung has now decided to offer its first Ice Cream Sandwich phone in white, with the same specification as the titanium silver model that is currently available.

We now have the White Galaxy Nexus available to order on the Clove website and will provide images as soon as they are available.

Happy Holidays from Android

This is a nicely done video for the Android brand and will no doubt create huge demand for another Google product – the hat that the Googler is wearing at 0:10. You’ll also see the Galaxy Nexus, XOOM 2 and a couple of chromebooks make an appearance alongside Santa, that’s if you’re not distracted by the new snowflake button that has been added to videos for the festive period.

Samsung Nexus S Ice Cream Sandwich Update Rolling Out

I got a nice surprise last night when the Android Ice Cream Sandwich FOTA update was pushed out to my Samsung Nexus S. Thanks to the screenshot feature of ICS I can easily share some shots of the Nexus S running the latest version of Android.

Of course, there’s no volume bug as there was on the Galaxy Nexus when I first tried Ice Cream Sandwich, but it seems that there’s also no Face unlock, despite the Nexus S having a forward facing camera. Unlike the Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus S has built-in capacitive buttons, which I would say enhances the experience slightly as you have a shortcut to system settings without having the need to put one on the home screen. The recently used apps feature can still be accessed by holding the home key, as is the case with older versions of Android.

I’ll now be downloading GTA III this afternoon so that I can test the USB hosting with a game pad.
