i honestly wouldn't even recommend one. every protector i tried made me aggravated by either little bubbles or a haze. i said f it took it off and for the last year i haven't had one scratch. the gorilla glass is tough! i have dropped the phone more times than you can imagine on hard and soft surfaces form high and low heights.. it's good stuff.
[Droid X Accessories] Hogwarts:
I use cheap ones from ebay. They are actually good quality

Made in japan and they are high grade optical clarity or something

Sounded like a bunch of salesmanship (lies) but when I got them I was amazed.

Cant remember who seller was tho lol.
[Droid X Accessories] Masherbrum:
I used the Verizon ones and hated em. Wasted money on an Orange Peel ZAGG. I went to my local mall about 7 months ago and the product is Ghost Armor. They guarantee it for life. No hazing, no orange peel, etc.
[Droid X Accessories] scottyd035ntknow:
Skinomi, they are pretty boss. They don't get all tacky like the Zagg stuff does, actually you can't even tell it is there. No hazing, very resistant to scratches and it feels like the stock glass.

And yeah gorilla glass is durable but if you get anything in your pocket like sand that is harder than the gorilla glass... yeah it'll scratch it. One of my co-workers dropped his at work down a flight of aircraft stairs and the glass has a BIG scratch in it so these are not proof from being messed up. It only takes once...

Also for people complaining about gunk under their protector or bubbles, please learn to properly apply screen protectors. You have to clean the living **** out of them before applying a dry protector and then use the included card to push the bubbles out. Wet apply protectors like the Skinomi are better quality, last much longer, are easier to apply and alot harder to notice too.
[Droid X Accessories] MrWall:
I'm probably jinxing myself but I've dumped the screen protector and put my faith into the gorilla and haven't had a problem yet.

Between all the times I've dropped it, use it at the gym, and shove it into some random pocket when I ride my motorcycle, I've yet to have any problems.
[Droid X Accessories] TheBookheimer:
I read somewhere that you can use really thin clear vynil and it just sticks to the screen without air bubbles but I have yet to try it out. Its also really cheap to get too.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] esoomenona:
First off: Motorola Droid running CM 6.1

So I've searched around, and everything I've found seems to be missing an aspect of what's happening with me, so I figured I'd just go ahead and start a thread and ask.

Basically, my SD card has been working on and off. It started one day when I turned off my phone and then turned it on later. The SD card was in and I could access it via Root Explorer, where I could see everything, but none of the apps were working at all. Restarting phone did nothing. I turned it off, pulled out the battery and pulled the SD card out, blew it out a little, put it back in, turned it back on, and it seemed to work as normal. I wondered if my problem was gone, so I restarted again, and same problem, no apps. I finally got it back on with the apps on the SD card working, but now, I can't mount it on my computer via USB. When I plug it in, it says drivers were installed and device is ready to use, and it starts charging, but there is no notification on the phone to mount the SD card. On top of that, I can't seem to install anything or update anything through the market, and I'm not entirely sure all of my apps that are on my SD card are there, but I can't be positive, because all of the ones I most use are. I'm sure that if I restart my phone, the same thing will happen again, so at the moment, I'm fine that my apps are working, but there are times when I need to mount my SD card to transfer files and such. Like I mentioned, I did search, and the closest thing I found was USB Brick which seems to be solely focused on the HTC Desire, but still seems to miss some aspects of this, mainly, no one mentioning that they could access their SD card while the apps weren't working. This makes me think it may be some sort of problem with the system or perhaps something wrong with android_secure or Android on my SD card. (Maybe an app on there messing something up?)

Any help would be appreciated. If this is a dupe thread, I'm sorry. If you could point me where I need to go, I'll go there and this thread can be deleted or closed.

So this thread is only to heard people talking about news of the 2.3.4 for our nexus s i9020A KB2. No longer kb3 or 1 conversation!!!
[Nexus S General] MaximeRoy77:
Still waiting.... on KoodoMobile !
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Same, still waiting. Seems like a Canada only phone and we're always last to get anything lol.
[Nexus S General] ManicDVLN:
I guess everyone bought the Koodo version, we will probably get the update last since we are the least owners of Nexus S ;)
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Of course! It was the cheapest at $425 outright. :) All Canadian phone models are the same anyways (i9020a - GRI54 - KB2) except Wind/Mobi which sell the i9020t I believe.

Actually I paid around $230 (including tax) for it at Best Buy. I used $200 worth of Reward Zone certificates and also got the promotional 4000 points which is essentially $50.

Best part? No contract! :cool:
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
The phone is the same regardless off where you got it. I am on an 18 hardware refresh cycle and got the phone for $0 down.

the current roll out has been very much based on model and not the provider.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
Not everyone...when I looked for the phone the day it was available, Koodo didn't have any to sell, neither did Telus. I wanted to buy it at BestBuy next for the reward points but they didn't have an outright/no contract price SKU so I tried FutureShop and bought it there. If I had waited a week, I could have had reward points or a gift card, but I needed a new phone ASAP since I gave my Desire to my wife, the Legend to my daughter, and I was using a backup "dumb" phone. I tried the Motorola Atrix and found it was an awful phone with lots of performance issues and poor software implementation that made it a disappointment to use - so I returned it and awaited the Nexus S which I'm quite happy with.

:)

Not that it really matters, but my phones are always "free" since I do hardware upgrades for iPhones and then sell them BNIB and keep the profits for the phones I actually want to use.

:D
[Nexus S General] Noxincendium:
I'm on Rogers with my nexus s and no udate as of yet.
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Updates come from Google not the provider. We have to wait until they start rolling it out for our model.
[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
We basically all run the ATT version, it says it somewhere in the packaging I got with my Koodo Nexus. I'm just waiting until CM7 goes to 2.3.4 wich will probably be before we get it anyway. But google will get to our model soon enough.
[Nexus S General] neezygfx:
But the question is WHEEEEEEN???
[Nexus S General] zero383:
I punched in the manual checkin code, still nothing. Once I get notification though I'll post the link from logcat. I have adb set up at home and at work. :)
[Nexus S General] sl33man:
Same boat here, I bought my phone at BestBuy for Rogers and I still have not received a OTA notification. I would have tried to do the manual update, but that doesn't appear to be an option either.

It would be nice to get some sort of schedule.
[Nexus S General] ManicDVLN:
Actually this week you may get more points, bestbuy has new reward zone points

Spend over $500 = 5,200 bonus points ($65 value)

Online Code: 5200POINTS

So I guess buy the phone and some accessories and you get 65$ in points.
[Nexus S General] yiannisthegreek:
Just got my Nexus S from Future Shop this past Sunday. It is on Rogers and is a Factory Unlocked I9020A model. I too have not seen any updates as of yet for this phone.

Nexus s fido

I have a nexus s from fido . There is a bug for some fido nexus s where the phone is always in roaming mode showing R next to the signal bar . I know that fido have been waiting on a software update since april 15 th .When that alert was posted in the system they said the update would be avalaible within the next two weeks. I am not sure if its the same update though .
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Hopefully 2.3.4 fixes the roaming issue. That little R is bugging me! :p

So I downgraded my GR54 KB2 to GR40 KB1 and then upgraded to GJ22 KD1. Now my phone spases out at times. Does or can anyone get me the nandroid or stock version of 2.3.3 GR54 KB2? I just want to go back to stock 2.3.3 and then do an OTA update rather than manual. My Wind i9020T GR40 KB1 updated just fine but my TELUS i9020A GR54 KB2 messed up.

It's a false alarm, looks like the wrong update got pushed. the zip is one that was found over a week ago, as to date, no one can get that particular update working. I had removed it from my primary post. Originally it was found being pushed ti i9023 devices. the buildprop is looking for soju, so it will validate on an i9020t or i9023 device, we are just not sure which one.

we have sojua devices

There's a bright side... by the time anything gets here, most of the bugs would have been worked out. :)
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
That's true but I doubt our update is that different from the other models aside from the modem.

I wonder what the hold up is! We're the only variant left whose OTA hasn't been pushed out yet.
[Nexus S General] frankmust:
WTF are you talking about??? the 9020A is as canadian as americain what about AT&T in us they are 9020A ! so the update ota as no way to deal with the country, here is google!
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
Is the i9020A actually available (as in in-store) in the US? I thought it was just Canada.
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
If you look in the bootloader, it's got att set in there. I think it was made to get the at&t customers and canada just lucked out

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Actually it probably just means this phone was made for the ATT band which Rogers, Fido, Telus, Bell, Koodo also uses. Mobility/Wind uses the T-Mobile band and I'm pretty sure their phones say something like TMo in the bootloader on their phones or something along those lines.
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
Hmm, it does say ATT under carrier info under bootloader. It's just a little ironic though that AT&T doesn't actually sell the phone (like I said, I think it's only the Canadian carriers that have this variant for sale).

Still twiddling thumbs for the update...
[Nexus S General] frankmust:
Ok so if for exemple the i9020a was just for canadian and for that reason google has not develloped yet a version 2.3.4 because they always make us wait for years, why alot of people that has the nexus s from videotron had already get OTA? videotron is canadian carrier! So i think it will comes out late this week, and if im wrong , then ..:mad:

Hopefully someone tommorow at the google I/O will ask WTF IS GOING ON with this ******&?Y"/ update for the 9020a
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
I think Videotron/Wind/Mobilicity all use the i9020T, the same version as T-Mobile. Aside from the Nexus S 4G, I think the i9020A probably has the least numbers in comparison to the i9020T and i9023. Maybe that's why?

Hope they'll change the group order of updates the next time around.
[Nexus S General] armthehomeless:
Maybe we'll just jump straight to 2.4 after they announce Google Music tomorrow :)

/wishfulthinking
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
I was actually surprised Google would push this OTA out so close to Google I/O.

Maybe we'll only be seeing a preview of the Android update rather than a full announcement. Hope I'm wrong!

Here's hoping they start with us for the next OTA. :)
[Nexus S General] frankmust:
so now confirmed no 2.4 until end of the year and 2.4 will bring 3.0 like to mobile. but for now google, WHERE IS OUR OTA 2.3.4 !?!

And i will probably change for the nexus 3 when its gonna comes out!
[Nexus S General] zero383:
My phone has restarted twice in 2 days during a call, where is the damn update?! ,=P

I'm guessing there's quite a large number of i9020Ts and i9023s out there. Perhaps our update will only be pushed out once a certain percentage of the those two phones have been update?

I wish they'd tell us if there was going to be a delay.

[Nexus S General] sidprak:
FYI with regards to the "R" (roaming) on the Fido Nexus S phones: this happens because the phone is connecting to the Rogers network. Since Fido is owned by Rogers, using their network will not charge you roaming. Like @zero383 mentioned, just enable data roaming and you can use data. You won't be charged roaming AFAIK.
