[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
I'm not sure if you lose it or not, guess I should try it sometime. If you really want to try it what I would do is download the kb2 cwm file attached in the first post and keep it on your phone, flash kb3 and if it works great let us know and if not flash back to kb2. I've spoken to some people that have great service with kb3 but if they're not in an 850 zone it wouldn't make any difference anyway.
[Nexus S General] gullygossner:
I have been using KB3 from the day I bought my phone. I am on Sasktel and I can say that I get better reception with it. Having said that I have not had an opportunity to leave the city since I flashed so I cannot confirm 850 band.
[Nexus S General] homergoalie:
Pretty sure you don't loose the 850 band. Have gone back and forth to see which is working better for me currently and have the 850 band each time.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I just had something "weird" happen, on day one of my 9020a I flashed the kb3 radio and everything was working perfect until yesterday...3g stopped working after being in an area for a long time (6 hours) with a very poor signal. I did a nandroid, reset apn, etc. nothing worked, I could only get edge, reverted back to the KB2 radio and bam 3g:D

wtf? i don't know
[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
I'm not really sure, maybe since KB3 isn't meant for our phones it can act funny in zones with low service, I flashed the KB3 radio this morning just so see what would happen since I live in an 850 zone and I had service so it must still work. But I remember using a trick on my Galaxy S wich would enable 850 on non 850 modems, it worked great but I went back to my Canadian modem because it wouldn't always switch bands properly since they aren't meant for it. So I'm back on KB2, might try KB3 again on the weekend when I have a chance to play with it more.

edit: I forgot, if you don't have an 850 modem on Rogers, Edge will still work no problem it's just 3G won't work. So I'd assume you're using it with AT&T since you're in the states and I believe they're the same. If you're with Bell/Telus/Koodo/Virgin in Canada it won't work since they only have HSPA.
[Nexus S General] homergoalie:
Had a similar "weird" episode as well.

I flashed a rom yesterday and it didn't matter what I did, no signal what so ever. Reflashed kb3 same thing. Flashed kb2 and back to normal. And I think I put kb3 on maybe the second day I has my nexus.
[Nexus S General] driftnut56:
What do you think would happen to phones designed to be used on the WIND network or the T-Mobile network?
[Nexus S General] twigggs:
If this modem is dumped using dd, with a specific count at the end of the command, shouldn't the modem size be the same assuming KB3 was dumped the same way, using the same count size?

I'm just trying to figure out why my phone gives me status 7 error when I try to flash KB2 but KB3 flashes with no error.
[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
Maybe you got a bad download, try downloading it again because I flashed it over KB3 yesterday and tried it out the first day I had it up and I never got any errors.
[Nexus S General] danboard:
Just tried out KB3 and its working fine on my Rogers Nexus S
[Nexus S General] newbi11:
has anyone tried upgrading i9020a to 2.3.4, does the new radio work for current KB2 users?
[Nexus S General] toddkp:
Hey there.

I have a cdn 9020a, from stock went to radio kb3 first day, then today did the downgrade to 40, update to 2.3.4 with new radio.

Everything looks good.

Did the cwr, 3 zip files to be root, from the forums.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Hi Everyone,

I have taken the radio image from the first post and I believe I made it so that you can flash it in Fastboot. I don't have an I9020A, so I can't test it. If someone wants to be the guinea pig, I would be forever grateful. Obviously I'm not responsible if it bombs, but if it does bomb, you can always take the radio image from the first post and flash it in CWM to get your radio back.

So, if someone wants to be the guinea pig, download the radio zip that I have attached to this post, extract the .img file, reboot your phone into the bootloader, plug it into USB and flash this using "fastboot flash radio radio.img" and see if it works.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] Geektox:
Same error still, unfortunately :(
[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
You tried it with fastboot? I never got the chance to try it, might try it tonight if I'm home early enough.
[Nexus S General] angelox6:
I've been having network issues for the past 4 days (ever since I updated to 2.3.6) and have been scouring XDA and the internet trying to fix it...

Tried flashing stock roms, cyanogen roms, backtracking to 2.3.3, updating roms, flashing different radios, stock radios, nothings working.

I'm on the FIDO network with an unlocked nexus s

I even bought a new sim card today to see if it could fix it, and it was only "fixed" for a bit, because the reception was **** (0-1 bars) and i was on EDGE all the time.

I reflashed some radios and now I don't get network at all.

If anyone has any idea of how I could fix this, it'd be nice. As of right now I still can't seem to flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056062 so I assume something about my phone still isn't stock...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Okay so I just bought the G-Tab yesterday, rooting & flash install went fine. However I've noticed one thing & wondered if anyone else has the same problem. When my G-Tab is wirelessly tethered to my HTC Hero (CDMA) I noticed that flash will not play. However if connected to my wireless router at home, flash will play fine with no problems. So the question is, is flash playing dependent upon bandwidth? If so is there a way to circumvent this issue?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detrious:
Wow thats new.. not sure why you are having that problem, which version of flash are you running. I tether my tablet with my motorola cliq (GSM) have never had any issues what so ever.. I just tethered my sister's Motorola Droid(Verizon) to my tablet and it works just the same the data connection was slower than T-Mobile but flash still worked.... what Rom and kernel are you using that might also be the problem

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] resnovich:
Out of the blue my bro calls me asking my why I am peddling viagra. He tells me that I have a virus which i vehemently deny. I logged into my email which I havent had the chance to for over a week and discovered a sent items entry for the email in question.

Befuddled by the event and the fact that I hardly ever send email from this account I retraced every remembrance of providing the username/password for the account. It occured to me that the only time in the last month that I have used that username/password was when messing with my phone.

In particular, i spent the day trying out a few roms to see how the latest updates compared aesthetically. I started with CoreDroid then moved to CM7, MIUI, Android Revolution, RCMixHD then back to CoreDroid. In every instance I setup the market, downloaded Antivirus and Advanced Task Killer but left the rest of the installation as-is.

Any of the ROMs may be suspect (or some hacker/system waited until today to use stolen credentials to send SPAM? Unlikely).

Back to the reason I started this post... has anyone else experience this type of account breach while using any of the above ROMs or any ROM in general? This might have been part of some apk that was packaged into a ROM. Or could it be that while providing credentials to the Android OS during initial setup someone was able to intercept them on the way to google? I would hope the latter is not possible but I have not setup a sniffer to see what is sent over the network during initial setup.

This whole situation is enough to put me off custom ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Why can't you flash kernels? You do it in recovery the same way you flash a rom - with the exception of wiping data. You only need to wipe cache/dalvik.

i dont know whats wrong with my phone but all the kernels i tryed to flash it end up in a bootloop. i flash sense with sense and aosp with aosp kernels they all go into bootloop. trust me i even used amon ra recovery sometimes backing up with amon ra recovery and trying to restore sometimes it doesnt work. clockworkmod seem to be fine but cannot flash kernels.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffastfzr:
I usually just lurk on these forums as I am completely new to android and still just getting to barely understand the basics. To thank everyone here for this tremendous redource, i wanted to share my solution forfinding the tablet buttons in the dark . I have some 1/8th automotive pinstriping that I use to mark my rock climbing gear. It's very durable but can easily be chipped off with a fingernail without leaving any residue. It's also thick enough that you can easily feel it with your fingertip. I put strips running from front to back in line where each button sits with a tiny bit overhanging the lip on the screen. if you cut it right you can feel the edge if you run your finger along the lip but it won't peel off if you get it right. Just be careful if you clean the screen with a microfiber cloth because it will snag on the edges. So noe ican feel where the buttons line up in the dark and my g tab has some wicked yet functional racing stripes. I went with reflective orange. i hear it adds a couple of ghz to the processor speed like flourescent paint adds hp to civics.

I hope someone finds this useful. I wouldn't have bothered buying this tablet if I hadn't learned from this forum about all the cool stuff i could do, and since have done to it. Many thanks to all of you for your hard work and continued enthusiasim.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I'm actually used to where the buttons are. I don't need to see them anymore to use them. In the dark, I hit it 95% of the time first time nowadays.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediChicky:
hey, i think that's a great idea. a fix that will work for users who don't want to mod the gtab in order to add LEDs.

would an autoparts store have that 1/8in pinstripe? i wonder how well it would go on over a skinomi?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechAniX.one:
@ffastfzr

Could you post some pics? Id really like to see what this looks like. It sounds like a great idea.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffastfzr:
I'll see what I can do

The pinstriping is available at auto parts stores. It will stick to a clear coat on a car and pretty much anything you else you stick it to. So it should stick to a skin. I ordered mine online because I wanted highly reflective bright orange. Like I said I had it for my rock climbing gear. you get a distinctive color and size and then you wrap a little stripe on each piece of your gear like carabiners so your climbing partners don't walk away with them. The joke is that you trust your partners to hold the rope and potentially save your life, but you don't trust them to not walk off with your gear.

I'll take a couple of pics and post as soon as I can. My firm is having networking issues and I am about to get kicked offline until this evening.

[XPERIA X10 General] awojtas:
Hi guys,

Thanks so much to all the devs and members here who've posted tips, workarounds, rooting tools, and now custom roms for the X10i.

Your contributions have made the X10i a great device to use, particularly the JVM and multi-touch work.

I had my X10i since August last year from brand new.

Unfortunately yesterday I dropped a heavy mountain bike pedal on it from a 1metre height which smashed the top-right of the screen. The touch panel still worked, but it started rebooting continuously (4x in a row at one point) and was beyond repair.

I'd always had rebooting issues (2-3x per week) but this somehow had made it considerably worse.

Insurance has let me buy a Galaxy S (I9000) for an extra NZ$57.

I'd like to say that the X10i had a considerably sharper and more detailed screen than the Galaxy S. This is immediately obvious.

The X10i felt far more solid. The Galaxy S feels a lot cheaper.

However, I'm really enjoying the responsiveness of the Galaxy S (after rooting etc) and it feels several times faster than the X10i.

Android 2.2 is great. It's really good news SE is upgrading the X10i to 2.3.

So again - thanks - see you on Gingerbread!

Cheers

Aidan

[XPERIA X10 General] CCDillon:
I had a captivate and then sold it and switched around and found my white x10. Honestly, when you have a good custom ROM on the x10, its speed is comparable to the Galaxy S (though I do have to admit the captivate I had was slightly faster).

I am someone who makes use of the camera on a phone, the x10 camera is seriously great and one of the reasons why I would pick x10 over GS. Second, is style, x10 is sexy, we all know this. :D

In terms of customizations, the Galaxy S series are more triumphant in this regard.

Good luck with your Galaxy S!
[XPERIA X10 General] awojtas:
I spent hours and hours at times customising my X10i. I loaded different froms, JITted it numerous times, played with build.props and all - and I'd honestly say the Galaxy S is dramatically quicker still, even after I've now loaded most of the same apps onto it.

The screen feels more sensitive. The graphics are smoother. Loading apps is dramatically quicker.

I never felt the X10i's screen was accurate, like it was calibrated right, but if you used a Paint app and tried to draw straight corner-to-corner lines they were wiggly as anything. This meant sometimes clicking buttons, apps or typing was a little frustrating as you would have to top often slightly above the button.

The Galaxy S's camera is better and worse than the X10i.

Better: no stupid purple/green tinges when the picture is low contrast; it's way faster; the colours are more realistic. 30fps for 720p is really nice.

Worse: The resolution is definitely worse! The X10's camera eats the Samsung's 5mp in terms of resolution whether a bright outdoors photo or even high-ISO low-light indoors. There is also no auto-focus during video on the Galaxy S :(

If you're reading this and considering a Galaxy S, the things I miss are:

- LED notification (fix: NoLED, uses the AMOLED screen to display notifications instead. Seems okay.)

- Hardware camera button

- The weight of the X10, it felt like it was made better

- 8mp camera and video auto-focus

- SonyEricsson's UI overlay actually was pretty cool (not talking about Timescape here!)

The things I would never go back to the X10 for, that I like on the Galaxy:

- Speed.

- Touch screen that is accurate

- The extra RAM, built-in storage, etc.

- The better battery life (about 30-50% better so far)

- Thinness and lightness are quite nice actually.

I will probably come back to SE for the Arc - the camera and style really appeal to me.

I don't play games so the Play doesn't float my boat.

If anything, I used to sneer at Galaxy's as they looked "cheap". Now, I am thoroughly glad I changed and would definitely consider a Samsung phone as my next phone to be compared with SE Arc or Neo.

They're both great devices overall and have pros and cons of each.
[XPERIA X10 General] abdurahman:
I think the reason the galaxy feels much quicker than the x10 is because of the fps limit on the x10. When I tried the custom kernel that removed the fps cap the phone was sooooo much smoother, and just as smooth as my friend's galaxy s. But congrats on your new phone, I hope you enjoy it a lot !!!
[XPERIA X10 General] The Realone:
I agree the Galaxy S is the better of the 2. I've had my friends Galaxy S here when I just had my X10 brand new (2 months ago) and both had stock ROM (2.2 on Galaxy, 2.1 on X10) and the Galaxy was superior.

Later I started using Wolfbreaks 2.2 ROM and that greatly increased the X10's performance but still it wasn't anywhere near the Galaxy, and that thing was still running stock.

I for one never had any regret getting the X10, mainly because of the price difference. I got mine using my moms phone plan because she didn't need a new one and I wanted to get rid of my W995. It costs me a total of €15x12 months = €180 in total for a brand new X10. The Galaxy would've been at least twice that amount. ;)
