even with gorilla glass ill be sporting a phantom skinz on my screen.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
Those carbon fiber skins from them are sick, had one on my evo but had to get a new one. $25 down the drain...
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
just ordered and payed in full for my nexus s from best buy. too bad it's for shipping only, no in store pickup. so ill have it by the 9th or 10th. just a word to the wise for those who thought they could order online and pick it up on launch date, you cannot. cost me $217 out the door with express shipping.

hopefully this thing will be rooted the day it comes out.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
anybody know if the design is exactly like the gsm version? i want to buy a screen protector but they only carry them for the t-mobile ones.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
fastboot oem unlock

There is nothing suggesting otherwise. Shouldn't even be a question.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Apparently it is slightly thicker, no other changes in size / shape.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Yeah, true that. I forgot it was a little thicker than the GSM version.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
well this is only for the front lcd, so would that be the same?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
For a screen protector? Yeah.

And as for it being rooted, such talk should be outlawed. :D
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
why should it be outlawed? even if the bootloader can be unlocked via the user, it's still not fully rooted, that's why in the nexus section it gives you instructions on how to do it for gsm. also we would have to make sure we can get clockwork mod on there to flash roms. none of that is currently available for the cdma version yet. BUT im sure by launch someone will do it and even have the first stock/custom rom available.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
These devices are meant to be unlocked. Should it be any different it would go against the purpose of the device.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
well yeah, i know that. at least Google is all for it unlike the carriers.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I hear ya, but nothing has suggested otherwise.
[EVO 4G General] yayitzben:
Anyone know the price off contract?
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
General consensus is $549.99
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i believe it damn near $600 at best buy.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Man I hope is 450$ like the evo, cause that's all I want to pay and hopefully Google announce an update for the nexus s in Google I/O I can't wait to have it in my hands , the camera is really good my buddy and I were comparing some pics and I really see benefit with the camera, I take pics everyday of my 20 months old song so Is really important for me

Yeah I was assuming 549 since all other phones at best buy are +150 from the sprint store and they have it listed for 699
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
see i didn't put a deposit down, i paid for it in full. but i have to wait for it to ship to my house.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Same thing I did. Hopefully have it by the 10th.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
Im going! :D..if they do ill have review up on youtube immediatly
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
No, at Best Buy. I think they are going to be the exclusive retailer... Like I said, I put $50 down, but I am not sure if I will get the phone yet or not. I love the phone, the form factor, CPU (I think I'd be just fine without dual core), GPU, screen, pure aosp, indefinite updates, lack of branding, etc. However, I am really curious about the Galaxy S2 and the EVO 3D. I know that neither of these phones represent the beauty and philosophy that is the Nexus S, but I still want to weigh all of my options before purchase. With Google I/O being on the 10-11, I imagine there is a good chance we may hear and see more about the EVO 3D and other phones at this time...

@ Fixxer, what is the advantage of paying in full if you have to wait longer for the phone?

EDIT: Never mind, as per Sprint's website they will have it in store on the 8th. I guess only the T-Mobile version was a BB exclusive.

Just switched my preorder to an evo3d. I figure they'll be in greater demand and harder to get a hold of. If I decide I want the nexus instead, I think the switch will be easier this way...

[EVO 4G General] mlin:
It is a very nice, sleek, light, and fast phone. I still want one but the 3d was hard to pass on, at least at this point. Maybe I'll sell my evo and 2nd Gen iPhone to get the nexus...

[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i am a bit concerned, i paid for rush shipping and my status on best buy is still backordered. im gonna call them after work today to see when this thing will ship. i may have jumped the gun here because i want one but usually i never pre-order.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Same here....I ordered April 28 and got an expected delivery date of 5/2 or 5/3. I kinda had a feeling that I wouldnt get it those dates. But I didn't know it would state "backordered". But the when I called last week to complain about this shipping status and the phone being backordered. I was advised to wait till at least May 4. However I'm gonna wait til Thursday. If my status hasn't changed or anything, I may just cancel.

To me that's like false advertising. Even now if you go to the bb site it still gives you an early expected delivery date...which is before May 8. if the phone is backordered, it should state that on the actual webpage, not after you already preordered it.

I haven't been following the HTC Flyer that much but yesterday all over th net I read that you can preorder it at bb and it also gave an expected delivery date. I'm wondering if the people that went ahead and preordered the Flyer will go through the same drama that we're going through with the Nexus S 4G.

All I know is depending on how this turns out, I may never preorder another item at bb at least not online.

I didn't want to stat another thread but do anyone know why the $210 that I paid for the phone is back on my card? Is it something to do with an "authorization" in which bb will charge the card again when the phone actually ships? I think I had something like this happen before when I bought an ipad last year...but I'm not sure.

Update:

Just got off the phone with BB and they stated that the first charge on my card was a pre-authorization. When the phone ships, I will get charged again. She also stated that the "backordered" status is because the phone is not available until May 8th, not because they don't have any in stock. I guess that is why the phone isn't listed as "backordered" on the actual sales page.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
I payed via paypal and it came out. They better not refund it then charge again.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I don't know if they'll do that with a paypal account. If I still had a paypal account, I would've used it as well. I have a Serve account now and I like it a lot better than paypal...its ran by American Express.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
Since it was my wifes paypal they wont even talk to me about the order. Its bull**** as its an upgrade for my line on my sprint account. Im gonna have her call them later. Definitly the last time i preorder through best buy. I may just cancel the order and go in person to buy one. Problem is they wont have them in store for awhile yet.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
I preordered one in person at BB and paid the 50. Im 2nd on the waiting list so im guaranteed one on the 8th. (What they said). Seems to be the best way to do it. Ive got the $50 gift card and ill just pay the difference on the 8th when i go. I would of never paid for it online, let alone the full amount until i had it in hand

my wife just got off the phone with best buy, they said it will ship on the 8th and not before so i should have it by monday or tuesday, the latest wednesday.

they also said they will not have a stock pile full of these in stores for awhile. which means if your not on the waiting list you probably won't get one sunday.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimuschile:
Is their any posible date on when will it become available? Also for what I've read so far is far more expensive to buy the dock separately as if you buy it all together it would be just 100 dollars more than the tablet on its own.

That was the original rumor/hope/expectation (people started these hopes looking at the bundle UK release)

But as of right now, their US release strategy is dock sold seperately for $149.

I dunno if they plan to bundle in the future or not, but that is what it is right now...
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
I think the title says it all, with a few of us hopefully getting our phones over the next few days, am wondering how long the initial charge should be.

I'm know in times gone by they used to recommended 16 hrs first charge but how long should we charge for (am hoping you guys advise not long as I won't be able to wait to play with it).
[Galaxy S II General] Ayrlupine:
One review, think it might've been Eldar's, said that a full charge took around 3 hours. If that's true, it's pretty amazing.

I don't think batteries really suffer very much from "battery memory" anymore, so you could probably just turn it on while it's charging! (I did with my Hero and it's fine.)
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Hmmm we are not really sure at the moment, however, dombledore and staceymobiler can give you that information as they are the only two people here in the forum who have retail SGS2(AFAIK). Also, I am pretty sure that the documentation that will come with the phone will definitely have the details mentioned :) Just a few more days to go for you to get your hands on that!

Enjoy! And hope that helped :)
[Galaxy S II General] AJerman:
You can charge whatever amount you want, whenever you want. Modern batteries DO NOT require an initial charge, and can be used right out of the box. Out of the box, they'll come with around a half charge, so you can use that half charge before charging, or you can change immediately if you want. It doesn't matter at all.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
You charge until the message appears in the notification bad "charge complete, please unplug".

There is no need to charge LITHIUM batteries for 16 hours the first time.

Further, the batt will come with some charge - you can safely use it up first, and charge later.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Hey! Didnt know that!! was still stuck with the old mindset that i will have to charge the new phone out of the box for a specified amount of time and only then will i have be able to use it to avoid the memory effect. Are you saying that this is not required anymore?! wow!
[Galaxy S II General] AJerman:
Not with Lithium based batteries. Which is good, cause I'm not very good at charging new toys before use. :D

In root explorer go to sdcard/ it should be there. If you put it on your external go to externalsd/ long hold the file it should have move. then go to system/app and paste it in there and reboot phone. If you still cant find it use search and look up the apk name and move it once you find it.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Hi everyone :) my best friend has a weird issue with his Galaxy Tab. He uses it in his car as a multimedia player, connected to his radio via a 3.5mm audio jack. Now, a weird thing happens:

We're driving along, some audio or video is playing on the Tab. When, due to poor network coverage, the Tab switches from 3G to EDGE, audio/video stops and can be resumed by pressing the play button in the player. Here's the tricky bit: when I press play, the music goes on, but through the Tab's built-in speakers instead of through the 3.5mm jack. I pause it again, and resume playback - everything is OK until it happens again.

Has anyone had this kind of a problem?

Try charging the phone to 100% and removing and reconnecting the charger for few times. Then reflash the same ROM. This is why they say charge the battery to 100% before flashing a new KDZ ROM.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
Thank you. Now I will clear my point. Flashing through KDZ erases battery stats saved on the phone. If the battery is not fully charged, the new starting level would be messed up. Btw, technically the phone can not drain the battery while updating bcoz its connected to usb port.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Grievous23:
I'd say problem with rom, I would suggest not trying CM7 6.3 if youre looking for battery life... better use devoid franco, has some tweaks to make it last a bit longer.

I have used nessy too, it doesnt eat as much battery as CM7, but void was the best battery saver out of the 3
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] j.youngberg:
After the initial release I was able to play from my could drive via wifi without a hitch. This was on CM7 RC 2 & 3 I believe. Cellular streaming worked about 40% of the time. After a certain amount of buffering a song it would just refuse to continue buffering.

Now I can not get any songs to play from my cloud drive via wifi or cell. Sometimes the songs will buffer completely, usually in a matter of seconds, and then never play. This has been happening on CM 7, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2. I've tried wiping the app data, uninstalling and then reinstalling. Nothing has helped.

I know Amazon has been having issues with their servers lately but as of right now I can successfully play my songs through the cloud web interface on amazon.com. I'm just curious to hear of everyone else's experiment with this.

Thanks, Josh
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] j.youngberg:
**Update**

Today's update fixed the complete lack of functioning issue. Still having a problem with streaming from the cloud drive however. The first 15 seconds of the song buffers then my data connection goes "idle" (data icon says 3G). Once the song hits the end of the buffer it just continuously trys to load but my data connection never hops back up to "H".
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortmomof2:
We have 4 rooted Nooks. (We are a homeschool family that loves to read, and don't share well ;) ) We want to keep our root (we like having access to the Market.)

Having four, when updates come out, it is a big headache to get all four updated without losing root. I've been scouring this forum for a few days and have a few questions.

What would you recommend as a way to simplify this process? Run CM7 from SD, dual boot, and then updates can go through internal memory with no worries? Can you switch from SD to internal without rebooting? How often does CM7 have to be updated? (Again, I have 4 to keep up with!) Should I just be patient and wait for autonooter as it's the easiest way? Any other thoughts I should consider?

I wish we weren't so addicted to the rooted Nook! LOL

Also, I've found several threads with links to the CM7...how do you know if you have the most current link?

Thanks so much! This forum is amazing!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaries2000:
If you run cm7 you will not get auto updates. you will not need to worry about that. But with cm7 you will not have the b&n stock launcher which can read magazine and newspaper subscriptions. If you dont care about that then cm7 should be fine. As for how often you need to update cm7, you dont ever need to if you dont want to, and if you want you can pretty much do it every night with nightly builds.

In my opinion, yes, but for a net gain! With access to the full market, there is so much more avail to you!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxiworld:
That, and the ability for your nook to sleep. CM7 (which I have just switched to, because I was unable to block the update to my rooted 1.0.1) doesn't actually sleep, so when your screen is off, your battery is still running down.

Some people this does not seem to bother. I seem to have a lesser battery, because even on Stock I was only getting 2-3 days. With CM7 (so far, just installed it yesterday) it looks like I will have to charge it every night, or at least every other night. I've also been powering it down when I'm not going to use it for a while, but then I have to boot it up again, and that takes more time.

When you have four to keep charged, that could be a real hassle.
