End of Life for Nexus? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi everybody,
I heard some rumors about the Nexus listed as EOL in various big electronic shops in Germany.
In addition to that, lots of european webshops stopped selling the Nexus after a nasty rise in selling price for the last weeks.
Can anyone comment on that with reliable informations?

the internet told me the phone was at EOL 1 year ago!

My carrier in Canada dropped the Nexus 3 months after first putting it on sale. Even Samsung has admitted in one of the patent trials with Apple that Nexus sales have been "insignificant". The Nexus has been dead as a consumer product for at least 6 months. However, that doesn't mean it is a bad phone. It just means that all the sheeple swayed by CPU cores and megapixels quickly move on to the newest and "best" thing.

EOL means that a certain carrier or OEM will stop giving updates. Since the updates come directly from Google, only Google can determine the EOL, not some shop in Germany or a Canadian carrier. Keep in mind, the Nexus S has received its jellybean update, so I don't think EOL will come anytime soon for the Gnex.

All major stores in the UK have stopped selling it and haven't had it for about 7 months.

I suspect it'll get at least the next update (4.2? 5.0?) If google gets their act together, possibly even more - it's not like the hardware is too limited.
And, of course, xda end of life would be at least a year after that, if not more.

^ Yep. It will be a looong time before the software is too much for the hardware..if ever.

all you gotta do is look at the Nexus S. Still kicking, and strongly. And the Galaxy Nexus is a stronger device hardware-wise.
no EOL in sight!

Yes OP it has been EOL-ed in Malaysia. However, like everyone mentioned, nothing to worry about flash yakju or a custom rom and you will never worry about EOL. Unless if you want to buy another galaxy nexus. Then the best time to buy is now before they go out of sale if they haven't already. Or wait for the next nexus.

It's a nexus....
end of life is when you break it, lose it or wear it out from so much use.

Out of Stock has nothing to do with End of Life.

Uh... EOL means the device is no longer manufactured, which will usually follow with less to no software support. The Galaxy Nexus won't be EOL anywhere for quite, quite some time.

educate yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product)
granted, the definition is not carved in stone, but as for the Galaxy Nexus I guess we're nearing EOS after the price drops and massive sales in the states and elsewhere. nothing to worry about, Apple does the same with "discontinued" hardware still piling up in their warehouses such as the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S as soon as a successor device is on the horizon. and with the GNex it seems we're in for quite a selection of successor devices before year's end so it's just natural that Google and Samsung stopped production probably some months ago and cleared their warehouses over the last 2 months.
remember, in August 2012 the Nexus S (introduced in December 2010) got upgraded to 4.1.1 JB. I'd guess the GNex will get current firmware versions from Google well into 2014. Keep calm and carry on, guys. It's a Nexus after all ^^

LONG LIVE NEXUS!!

This post seems awfully random...
I guess just as much as mine...
Even if the Nexus reaches EOL, it was a pretty decent phone and will have community support for a good while. My ONLY complaint about my Nexus is the USB storage transfer fiasco. I understand technically what its doing, and I understand why they did what they did. That don't make me any happier though. I've found newer ways to transfer files from my pc or other devices to my Nexus, I just wish the ease of USB Mass Storage was there...

Nexus One is the closest thing to it.
But stores not selling it is not the same as EOL.

Is anyone getting the HTC one?

I think that there is a quad core HTC one s coming out for the Tmobile line of phones. Anyone getting it, more undoubtedly there is an gs blaze being released add an addition to the galaxy s series of phones which is a hype looking at how we already have an original s and s2 all this does is make the galaxy s team further.

Do you really want to stay on the samsung boat? Android 5.0 is going to be launched this year, and youll have to wait 4+ months for an update again. When i jump shop, its to a phone with a running non-beta CM9. Its clear this phone has nothing in terms of CM and waiting till summer for ICS is simply pathetic on Samsungs part.

That's what I'm saying. This will probably be my last carrier subsidized phone period. Waiting on Samsung and then waiting on the carrier is a joke. This phone has been a big disappointment. I like the phone, but its like the red headed step child of the galaxy phones. This along with the skyrocket. I stopped waiting on ICS a while ago. Samsung is so hush mouth about updates. Makes you think they will do anything to get you to buy another phone. No thanks Sammy.
When we finally get ICS it will be dated and the next best thing will be out. By then the gsII will be yesterdays news. Google really needs to be more like Apple with updates. They are starting to leave a bad taste for me. This may sound like a rant but its true.

i wouldn't go HTC until they go back to making quality phones. They went downhill lately with crappy battery life and cheap lcd displays. just like how samsung had a slump until the gs2's got released
I'm looking at the Asus Padphone or the SGS3, depending on which one comes out with an AWS or Pentaband version.

Asus has been quite good on updates with their current devices. If they keep that up id consider asus products in the future.
But at this point, im so sick of the android fragmentation that its either gonna be the google phone, or an iphone. Windows phones are starting to look more and more tempting to, specially with Windows 8 coming and whatever integration they have planned.
Even the google phones might get screwed on the CDMA side, and my carrier is CDMA only.
But its become quite clear that they havent finished ICS for the intl GSII, and probably havent started ours even. The CM team has nothing either. Have heard rumors that Cyanogen himself uses a T989 but i really doubt it, cause wed have an alpha at least.

Been using wp7. For the last two 1/2 months and although the apps aren't there yet, its been a refreshing change from all this ICS mess. Once T-Mobile comes out with a 4.3 or higher screen size, I will probably make a full switch.
I miss some of my apps and games though. Then again my ps3 takes care of the gaming issue. Wp7 runs so much smoother. Its nice to take a break from android.

This discussion belongs in General, not here in the T-Mobile Samsung GSII section.

Will you sell your nexus for the gs3

I am fortunate enough to have my contract up in may so I can get an upgrade and I will to the gs3 .will any one else be selling there gn for the gs3 when it comes out ?
And I know I have not seen it yet but I can bet that the camera and speaker will be better and the rest will be the same .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Probably.. One of the reasons I got the GNex (aside from the gorgeous screen) was because it would be "first in line" for updates. So far 4.0.4 is out and still no official update is available and I'd be stuck on 4.0.1 if I hadn't rooted and updated to 4.0.2 manually. Google not commenting on the issue doesn't help either.
Probably.

I got a feeling that hardware in gs3 will be very tempting for us but don't forget no pure ics and no up to time updates comparing to nexus. As a former user of gs2 and now a nexus rider I must say that I will stick to nexus line even it has less power inside because software development is better for gnex and it is priority for me

I'm pretty happy with my nexus, don't see any reason to unreasonably upgrade, also the galaxy s 3 hasn't been announced, how can you be sure its going to be that great (I know it probably will but still?).
Plus its just another device for people to cry about that its not getting the latest update quick enough -_-".

Agree with you there. And if touchwiz on GS3 is in any way like the leaked ICS for the GS2, I think I'll pass. Besides nexus hardware is more than enough for my smartphone needs, i.e., mostly internet, not much gaming.
Doubt i'll sell my nexus as I never sell old phones, but I will probably get a GS3 at some point, as it should blow Nexus off the planet.
As for software updates, GS2 gave more updates, at a much faster rate than Nexus, so GS3 should be much much better for updates.
Nexus has Android 4. but I doubt it will get 5, and the speed of the incremental android 4 updates is a joke.. 1 update since I got my phone.. GS2 had updates all the time! I'd rather get incremental updates within Android 4 timely with an SGS3 than waiting an eternity for any update on Nexus.
Nah sod the notion of speedy updates on nexus devices, they don't exist.
I'd take Touchwiz and a fast Galaxy phone over the slow and laggy Nexus any day. GS3 will hopefully have equal screen than nexus, which is the nexus's only real selling point.
It'll be nice to have a phone with a HD screen which you won't have to hear all the excuses that it is so slow because it has so many more pixels to push blah blah blah.
So magical?
I won't. I'm very happy with the GNex. I also have a hard to believing that the GS3 won't be very buggy at first.
I wont, cause I have a 2 years contract for my GNex, and my parents wont probably buy me it, just gonna use my Gnex till it fails
Nope. Will not. Will most likely only replace with the next generation of Nexus model. Once a nexus, always a nexus
Probably not. But if I do, it'll only happen if the international GS3 supports HSPA+ on both the AWS and PCS bands.
I'm never getting a carrier subsidized phone again, and my next phone will have to support both bands so I can switch between both networks as I see fit.

cuz i had enough with sgs2. i dont mind touchwiz cuz i can install cm9 or any aosp but samsung sucks when sharing their sources. htc does it better.
and i can see where sgs2 is heading when Jelly Bean is out. its gotta be like sgs1 for ics in this case. I'm sure Gnex will receive JB just like Nexus S receive ICS.
htc One X .... Perhaps
GS3 .... No way
but this is just me ... nothing wrong with GS3
Nope. Not a chance. Had gs2 before the gnex n while it was a great phone it, like the nexus, was not perfect. Doing anything for more than 15min made it really hot, it took 3hrs to charge, the home button was clunky, while i actually liked touch wiz the icons were cartoony and colour was massivley over saturated. Basically my feelings on it were; whilst there is no doubt it was a power house of a device it was too powerfull for itself hence the heat and massive battery drain and stupidly long charge time... try using navigation whilst charging.... toasty my point being the supposed specs for gs3 sound cool but find it hard to believe it wont result in the same problems.
The nexus may have a hint of lag at times.. that is unavoidable because of the way android is written... my stock gs2 did at times too.
While the nexus if also far from perfect im with matey above... nexus line all the way for me now. As for updates... ffs. Gs2 has had a couple of pointless updates that havent changed, improved anything. Yep waiting is annoying and i cirtainly want an update that stops the random reboots, id rather wait for this than have an update that fixes this but adds new bugs.
Enjoy what u have, unless you have endless cash to upgrade every 2-3 months youll never be happy.
/rant over
Hardware wise if it walks my dog and makes my breakfast, then yes. Otherwise TW will be barfed onto it, I'll pass.
No, and it's all to do with Samsung. I'm done with them for quite a while.
With the GS3 I don't expect to see manufacturer promised accessories unless the phone is a huge hit. And design mistakes like not being able to completely power the phone while running in the car dock made it an accessory not worth having.
Prior experience with the GS showed that they were unwilling to do anything about a serious hardware defect.
All in all I'm tired of being pooped on regardless of how cool their new device appears to be.
They wore me out. I'll wait to see what the new Google/Motorola relationship produces.
No, most likely i'll stick with GNex as previously i've had very bad experience with SGS2 phones. Better i'll wait till next Nexus phone comes out. And lastly - my GNex still feels like new, i gotta use it a bit more
probably not, but will definitely purchase a gs3 to play with. Anyways, normally give my phones to family and this Nexus will probably go to my sister.
well you probably learned something by now.
coming from a, 1st droid>blade>sgs>sgn.. you should know by now that only the nexus line gets updates and more support from the community.. even the orig nexus successfully ran ics
I'm never ever gonna beg for updates from the manufacturer again

I'm cautiously optimistic. When the international versions of the S3 got the update that provided the screen brightness fader on the notification bar, the Sprint version of that update appeared only 2 weeks later. Hope Sprint keeps the release schedule that tight.

My guess on when we get it? 8/15. That's when Samsung has their big event scheduled for... the one where, the rumors suggest, is the Note 10.1's coming-out party.
If I was Samsung, I think I could do worse than announcing Jellybean is now available for their flagship device (nominally of course- still would be a few days for the carrier rollout to occur).
In fact, if I was Samsung, I'd have my speaker up on stage, and right at the end I'd pull an "Oh, and one last thing...", you know, just to mess with Apple

FYI, my last three phones have been Samsungs, so I recognize that when it comes to updates and Samsung, optimism == insanity Still, I'm holding out hope that it'll be a LITTLE different this time around, at least as far as Jellybean goes.
I can confirm thst Sprint/Samsung have not made a Sprint jellybean build yet
It'll be very exciting when the update happens! Hopefully it'll occur some time before or right after the new iPhone gets released, so that I can still brag to my Apple friends how cool my phone is.
I worry that Samsung will strip out Google Now, replacing it entirely with S Voice. But I hope Samsung will come to their senses, or at least allow both side by side.

Yeah Samsung should have both S-Voice and Google Now. That would be really cool.
I think that Sprint will delay this update. Look at the Samsung Nexus S 4G. Google released Jellybean for the global Nexus S and every other version of the Nexus S. Sprint has delayed the Jellybean update for the Nexus S 4G.
I came from the Evo3d with all the ics hype and they are just now getting that ****. After that mess I don't believe the talk anymore, but hopefully we do get this soon.

Samsung went about 2 months without rdfs before we saw the first ics one on the s2. Also, they could be building it now, it just shows up on Sprints site when it's being tested.

No KitKat 4.4 For GNex

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3468085
not surprising. but this is the reason why we have this phone. the gnex will see many 4.4 roms. i have no doubt in that.
I just hope those ROMs would be fully functional

I thought the whole point of Nexus was that the phones would fall outside of the 18 month window to be better than the bastard carrier phones.
I'm wondering if lack of gnex support isn't because the kernel is limited to 3.0.x. If so, we'd need a talented Dev to come up with a newer kernel.

It's rumoured that 4.4 will run on a new, ram friendly, kernel. Been stuck at 3.0.x woudn't make porting 4.4 a problem?
Deleted. Reason = Double post.
This is shocking, to be honest. They even advertise that 4.4 will work with phones that have 512MB of RAM without issue yet the Gnex has a whole 1GB. And 18 month support window for a dual-core phone? That should have been extended to 3 years to compete with Windows Phone and iPhone, both of which still have similar or even lower specs than the Gnex on many handsets still in use.
Looks like Google doesn't care enough about customers to at least finish the 4.X series for them.
I should be buying a Nexus 5 anyway. It's been fun, guys.

It may be, but custom ROMs should work OK. If there are any kernel dependencies for 4.4 they shouldn't be so hard to port. Phone I had before GN, Xperia X8, has full, working 4.1 custom ROM on 2.6.29 kernel so it can be done

This is really disappointing.
I was thinking about replacing my gnex within few months with nexus 5, but now I don't think I'll do if Google abandons its customers like that.
The whole point of Android 4.4 is to give a better performance on low end devices, but if Google won't upgrade it's own devices, so which manufacture will???
iOS 7.0 was released to iPhone 4 that it's 3 years old - Galaxy Nexus is not even 2 years old!
It's really frustrating!
If I'm going to run hacked up ROMs, I might as well get a nice phone with a nice camera. Maybe 4.3" and removable battery and SD card. And blackjack and hookers.
Very crappy reason considering why people purchase Nexus phones... not that it will do anything, however be sure to to tweet your annoyance to @GoogleNexus @android @EricSchmidt @googleMobile
Fingers crossed for custom roms i guess then!

It will probably not change anything, but at least Google will know what we think about this bad decision.
I hate planned hardware obsolescence, every smartphone and especially nexus devices should be supported for two years.

Please guys, stop b*tching about it.
Nexus S gets 4.3 today stable, even when it's supported back to 4.1.2.
We will get Android 4.4, just wait for a week or so.
I will work on porting the ROM from the Nexus 4.
Thanks,
Rinse
I very deeply disapointed with this announcement. But my worst concern are these issues still not solved:
Wi Fi issue

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44494098&postcount=1
Black Bar in Task Manager issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58872&thanks=58872&ts=1376282625
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44465458&postcount=16
Those were reported MONTHS ago and Google hasnt released some kind of Fix and with this announcement, I think Google will leave GNex in the tech limbo.
Is a bad day... no kitkat for 1gb device ... and kitkat optimiced to 512mb...
BAD BAD BAD GOOGLE!!!

When the note 7 will be back in stores

Hi guys,
Do you know when the note 7 will be back in stores now? How long should we expect?

6-8 weeks.
Probably 2-3 weeks. Maybe more.
Can you please provide us how did you know if 2-3 weeks or 6-8 weeks? I think you're both mistaken.. Please don't answer randomly. Be specific and provide a proof.
I'm so frustrated for not having pre-ordered it, and now i'm unable to know when it will be back in stores... i should have bought it on Samsung store or Amazon when it was still there... arghhhhh

Samsung told me it would be a minimum of 3 weeks to get a replacement for my faulty Note 7. They will replace all the faulty Note 7s then restock the stores. That will be I would say around 6-8 weeks.

In Israel official launch for those who preordered should have begun tomorrow...
But now It's unclear, samsung officials have no Idea when the device is coming.
Im so disappointed, I am waiting since april for the device, and I would gladly pay for an expolding device and take that minimal risk it has a defect.
An exploding note7 is much better than my current LG G2 mini..
To be honest I think they should exchange our phones first. We are dealing with potential life/fire/explosion hazard so...
No one knows the answer to the OP's question not even, in fact especially, Samsung. WE are all going to just have to wait this one out. It will make ownership when it comes even more of a delight.
I hope they take the time to sort the CG glass problem out.
I guess non of us are good at waiting eh!

From what Samsung announced that is the idea. Those who own them will be the first to have a replacement unit. :highfive:

I contacted Samsung (from UK) they told me in 2 weeks I will have a replacement. They also told me in 7 days I will be contacted with an update.

That is why Samsung told everyone to stop using it (... and put it in a blast proof casing. )
I just saw in the Netherland the stores say more than 4 weeks to indicate the availability of the product!
Will samsung wait all this time? A lot of people with preorders could take another phone, especially now that iphone is available

This is indeed a problem. Have you noticed though that all reviewers and many customers moan about paying 880€ for the Note 7 but no one is moaning about the cost of the iPhone 7 that is some areas is superior to the Note 7 and in other areas inferior. The iPhone 7 here would cost me 250€ MORE!
Both good mobiles and though very different will please most of their customer clientele.
I have my Note 7 on order due to exchange programme and am fortunate enough to be able to wait. I am still using my SG S6 Edge +. After using an S-AMOLED QHD screen no way could I return to IPS FHD technology, just my choice. I respect others. :good:

eh eh, what you ask me is about Cupertino marketing perception. I would go really off topic to reply on that, and would not be enough exhaustive.
Just hope Samsung will manage well this moment of crisis, otherwise from my side not big deal. Theirs Android concurrent will gain more market space, and for me this is nice as well. After all even a fragmented Android market is far more strong than Apple without Jobs.
More competition, more benefits for us, and next time samsung: do not be so greed... make telephone that can be open... all your problems would be now vanished:angel:, if you really want to give us water resistant features do a decent cover that REALLY goes under water

wait, still looks not official...
I was informed that my preorder (in Stockholm/Sweden) will be delivered end of October
So with the battery issue has there been any reports of bundled promotions to win back customers? Ex. The S7 Edge had a Best Buy bundle of a VR, wireless charger and memory card at one point.
