Whether they follow through with this or not, I hope not to root my next phone. Or at the very least, root it simply so I can backup via Titanium or to Uninstall system apps. While custom ROMs are fun, I do'n't see them as essential.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
I'm betting that once Froyo ever gets released the number of Fascinate rooters will go down. I'm sure many custom Froyo rom users only are rooted because the are tired of the endless waiting and will go back to stock once it's released.

Of course saying this probably jinxes any chance of it being around the corner.

[Android Software Development] chriskader:
After a lot of frustration, I finally figured out how to fix this issue. It seems that the kext I used to use for EasyTether was causing a conflict. Here are the steps:

If your phone is plugged into your Mac, unplug it.

Open up Terminal

Enter this command:

sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext

You should get a confirmation that the KEXT was unloaded. Once this is done, you can plug your phone in, wait a few seconds and then use the adb devices command and you should see your phone there!

What is the best or recommended partition format of SD cards when flashing Gingerbread based ROMs? I remember back in the day with Donut/Eclair based ROMs that you had to configure your SD card in a specific way (ext, swap) in order for the ROMs to work properly. Just curious if there's any specific way it should be done with Gingerbread based ROMs, because I haven't seen any threads saying how your SD card should be formatted/partitioned.

Thanks.

[Nexus S General] xspyda:
I'm trying to get to the bottom of this freezing issue affecting many users where the NS will not wake up from standby and requires a battery pull to rectify. As samsung or Google seem reluctant to do anything about this (or even acknowledge the problem) I wonder if we can narrow it down to what is causing the issue? If you are affected by this you will know what I am referring to without the need for further explanation.

If your NS is freezing, please copy and paste the following with your answers:

Length of ownership:

How long ago did freezing start:

Current software version:

Did you notice freezing before update:

Update method (Manual / OTA):

i9020 (SAMOLED) or i9023 (SCLCD):

Hopefully a colleciton of responses to the above might start to show a pattern so if as many of you can replay with your answers as possible we stand a better chance of narrowing this down.

note to mods: please don't move this to Q&A as with my other thread on the matter as this is not a question, more an attempt to gain more info. Thanks

1 thing I noticed is that my freezing was not rectified even after puling the battery out, the only thing it responded was changing the sim card, then it took me phone registration screen and phone was fine after this even with old sim. Never encountered this problem after that.

Did you notice freezing before update: Yes

Update method (Manual / OTA): Manual , using custom roms

i9020 (SAMOLED) or i9023 (SCLCD): i9020

Additional comments : Personally, I think it has to do with both BLN and noLED apps and how the kernels are responding to them. BLN pro caused me more problems with the freezing as opposed to noLED so i moved back to noLED.

For me, the freezing is about once every 2-3 days and usually if i flash a non-netarchy CFS kernel. Once i'm on netarchy, it freezes less frequently. Maybe once a week and only if i overclock to 1.3 and charging at the same time. (Possible overheating problem?)

Hope my comments helps in your research. Thanks for doing this

I bought my phone on 12/31/2010 with FW 2.3. The phone worked fine for about 6 weeks, maybe a bit less. At first I've noticed random reboot or freeze, but very very few of them. then it gradually escalated to unusable phone.

Quick summary of Samsung's service.

1.) I've send the phone for the 1st time - Samsung claims no issues found, restores phone to FW 2.3 and mails the phone back. I open a package a week later and cannot boot up the phone, the phone only displayed the while "Google" writing and a lock-pad on the bottom of the screen. After many and many retries I was able to boot up the phone but then it froze again.

2.) I've send the phone for the 2nd time - Samsung keeps the phone for a week and claims no issues found, restores phone to FW 2.3 and mails the phone back. I pick up my phone, put in my battery and the phone freezes within 5-10 minutes. So I mail it back again.

3.) I've send the phone for the 3rd time - They are evaluating I guess. I've called and some woman picked up (2nd level support here in US as i requested) very unfriendly and basically said to my face "we're evaluating your phone and you'll get your phone when you'll get it" and that she cannot do anything about this.

i will never buy a Samsung phone again.

They always reset to FW 2.3 which the phone still freezes on. Some Google guy claimed for a while that they are working on this but it seems doubtful.

Wow, nasty experience with Samsung by the sound of it and from what. I've read this is all too common.

I'd personally be quite satisfied with the Nexus S but I don't think I could use one daily knowing that I could run into this problem at any time with no way to resolve and be at the mercy of Samsung who seemingly don't give a damn.

From the content of this thread I'm not seeeing any pattern as I'd hoped to. Shame, I really thought we might just learn something from this and sadly the only thing I am learning is to steer clear of Samsung.

Of course this issue doesn't affect every NS owner out there but is seems those tthat are unlucky enough to experience issues are left out in the cold.

Still interested to hear of other users' experiences. Thanks to all that have contributed so far, keep your reports coming guys.

I first noticed my phone randomly crash, reboot and then go to the recovery screen with the exclamation mark in the triangle. It was just sitting there when I saw it happen. Pulled the battery and booted fine.

The next day it crashed, rebooted and went into safe mode... which I had never even seen or used before. In safe mode it crashed again and rebooted and went into a crash > safe mode boot loop until I pulled the battery. Worked fine for a while and then the freezes started happening. I would go to power on the screen and nothing would happen. Pulled the batter and then it worked.

Sometimes it would freeze and the screen was just very dimly lit... sometimes I would see just the menu "buttons" lit. either way a battery pull was the only solution. Started happening more frequently... though again not if I was plugged in.

Tried full wipes a couple times including storage... even with just the standard apps installed it still would eventually freeze.

So using my Nexus One for now... I'm really not in a hurry to deal with Samsung so I've been putting off calling them. But I miss my NS in my hands...

i9020 (SAMOLED) or i9023 (SCLCD): i9020

My phone randomly crashed, reboot and then went to the recovery screen with the exclamation mark in the triangle.

I've tried factory reset, clear cache, format SDcard,

I've tried flash 2.3.1, 2.3.3 with Odin

I've tried nandroid recovery 2.3.3 , 2.3.1

no idea why and how to solve it

----

I just want to add that I didn't install any software and I didn't change any settings. I've just let the phone in default setting after flashing or recovering (nandroid recovery). I didn't set any google account or set wifi. And also I didn't insert any SIM card and and bootloader is locked. Still is freezing.

xspyda: yes, I tested without SIM card. Right now I haven't been using Nexus S for 2 months it is not possible to use him.

-----

edit2:

I played with this phone again, I did nandroid recovery 2.3.1 ( It is pity that we don't have nandroid backup of 2.3 ) maybe could help.

And after 3-6 restarts he got stuck in this screen and only remove battery helped.

Maybe it helps to move forward this issue.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
This may be clutching at straws but have you tried remving the sim card also? In fact, does the freezing still occur without a sim card inserted - anyone?

I could be wrong but it appears to me that the majority of people experiencing freezing issues are doing so only after performing an update, whether that be manual or OTA. Could there be something wrong with the way Google are pushing out these updates I wonder?

I think we need more reports like these already collected and then we need to look at the possibility of passing this information on to the relevant area for investigation (I know, it's a long shot).

Thanks for all reports so far, would be great if we can keep this thead going / updated and gather as many instances of this as possible.

still I can wake SNS up after 8 hours and also after 24 hrs. still OK.

How to solve the problem:

I upgraded to GRI49 ver. 2.3.3 by this zip

I copied zip file into SNS sdcard and follow next steps:

1. turn off

1. turn on + hold volume up

3. select RECOVERY

4. if you see exclamation mark in the triangle press and hold power button and after 2 sec. press volume up as well

5, choose update from sdcard

6. find zip file

then I updated again but to ver. 2.3.4 by this zip with same procedure

And then I did factory reset and I wiped cache as well.

If you have 2.3.3 GrI40 you can skip 1st procedure and just update to 2.3.4 directly.

[General Questions and Answers] Slatergs:
A friend purchased The MID Gpad G30 (Don't ask me why)

(Since I can't post a link go to Google and search for "MID Gpad G30" and it is the first link)

Can't seem to find much of ANYTHING on it for trying to install custom roms. It is very very slow when trying to select or scroll through anything. The video playback was surprisingly good and the camera and camcorder were very surprisingly responsive, but anything else was painful.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of things I could do to get it to at least FROYO 2.2? It has 2.1 but I think 2.2 would be better on it. Or are there any other suggestions to try and make this tablet usable?

It is laughable how slow it is, but then it shows signs of life every once in awhile.

Is there a way to package them into a flashable zip that puts them in system/media/ringtones and system/media/notifications ?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
Can't you just create a ringtone and notifications folder on your sd card under media>audio and copy your files there? Or does cm7 not work that way? I did that for my stock rom and every rom I have flashed since picks them up...haven't tried cm7 though...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
You can use ringdroid (available in the market) and you can create custom ringtones or notifications. I use a website called phonezoo and they have almost any sound you can think of. Put it on your SD card, open it in ringdroid, then make it a ringtone or a notification. My wife wanted the Perry the Platypus sound from Phineas and Ferb as her notification, and that's how I did it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
Yeah, don't know why you couldn't just have them on the SD card. But, to answer your question, it would not be hard to create a flashable zip for just the ringtones. I would start with one of the zips for something similar, say specific programs like the GApps for CM. Look at the file and modify the script and folders with what you want to put where. Should work.
