User forums are lit up with complaints about Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which was released in the UK late last week. It seems that the handset’s volume control goes haywire when the connection shifts to a 2G band. Unfortunately, 2G is widespread in Europe. The Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to ship with Android 4.0, also known as “Ice Cream Sandwich.” A YouTube video — and there are plenty — shows the volume bouncing between low and high. When it happens, the user is unable to make calls or use other functions such as playing videos or games. The phone is expected to hit Verizon’s network in the United States in the next few weeks.
