[HD2 General] connexion2005:
I hate to say it but that's most likely a dead physical USB port. I work on the HD2's daily and have seen this problem several times and it was 100% not software related which I have verified after a fully memory sweep and write of a JTAG dump from a working phone to the defective one. In these case the phone would also charge but had no PC connectivity either. You can however flash all the WinMO ROM's you would like over the SD-Card and definitely still benefit from the SD-Card style of booting Android ROM's so the phone is not a total wash. You can also still hope that Cotulla or some DEV will come up with a way to flash CWM Recovery from the SD-Card to the NAND. Then you could even still have NAND based Android ROM's as the CWM step is the only part of MAGLDR to Android that involves PC > Phone flashing.

The port is cheap at about $6.00 USD but the skill required to put one on is high. I don't offer it as a service yet but I'm planning on it soon as I solder frequently on JTAG ports smaller than the usb ports themselves and have the skill to do this.

EDIT: I'm also not 100% sure it's the port to blame but most likely it is. However, it could still be something inline with the USB data bus on the phone to blame.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
If this is the case I wouldn't flash stock via SD since you have no way to flash HSPL after that.

I installed the rom EXT-BLUE_DEC31 and another similar rom and when I go to menu, settings, it says "application not installed on this phone" . First time after many flashes I've seen this.. Where are the settings installed ? :confused:

Thanks for your help..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Did you remove firerat? Sounds like the system didn't load properly.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndog101:
Yes, first I ran the FR removel, had this problem with the first rom I installed, refalshed recovery, wiped all, installed a second rom ( both of these roms worked on my phone previously) , still no settings, I'm going to RUU and start over...Thanks Duce.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
You should not need to RUU just to install a rom. I would say start over again. Flash recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik/boot/system, flash ROM, flash gapps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndog101:
OK, I'll try that, thanks again..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndog101:
I reflashed cwm, wiped,wiped,wiped, installed known good rom that worked on this phone, still no settings when I go into menu..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Well you got me then, that's crazy. You seem to have some really really weird phone issues across ROMs and mods and wipes etc., maybe your hardware is bad?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houndog101:
I know, all the crazy chit happens to my phone,, asop's roms won't boot, I had sensible gingerbread working, then the update came out and It booted etc. fine except I could'nt make calls, could recieve ok... LoL.. I'll ruu and see if the settings work there, if not I'll take it to sprint, still have some warranty left.. Thanks for replying Duce..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Well before you do try this.

Back up all you data. Then format your sd threw your pc. Then format it threw your recovery. Then reflash your current recovery. Then setup your partitions if you had any. Then replace all of your data back on your sd. Then do a full wipe as in data,cache,dev-cache and sd-ext. Then flash a fresh rom of your choice. If that works you can just restore your nand. Hope this helps.

[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
http://phandroid.com/2011/05/10/andy-rubin-confirms-a-new-nexus-is-coming/
[Nexus S General] aerobahn:
We're gonna be obsolete :(
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Not me I am getting it day one!! That of course if its on T-mobile!!!
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
I'll stick with my Nexus S until Ice Cream sees a .1 or .2 update, work some bugs out. The Nexus S won't be 18 months old until next May.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
ehmm. this year:

phone= NO!

tab= YES.

next year:

phone=YES

tab=yes?

nothing in that post/blog or w/e

says its coming this year.

and google never did and never will bring a new nexus the same year as the nexus S(in this case)if its a phone.it has been confirmed google was looking for a nexus tab for this year.
[Nexus S General] aerobahn:
Well, if it will have better specs than the SGSII, I may sell my Nexus S and pay the difference for the upgrade. What I really want in a phone is stutter-free 720p HD-Video recording which the SGSII will have.

Of course I'd prefer a Nexus family phone over the SGSII, so here's to hoping they release it soon!
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Right now, Ice Cream Sandwich is scheduled for release in Q4. Which makes it pretty safe to say we won't see it until Q4 2011 at the earliest. Assuming they make the new Nexus the launch platform (or at least launch it with Ice Cream Sandwich stock), that means we're not going to see it until September or later, which would be roughly on par with the amount of time that passed between the releases of the Nexus One and Nexus S.

In short, I don't think we need to be imminently concerned. Anyway, I expect Ice Cream Sandwich will get released officially for the Nexus S in relatively short order once it is available. Google has been pretty good about that to date with the Nexus One. The only thing that might be considered "obsolete" about the Nexus S by then will be its hardware, and if the way the market has been developing lately is any indication, that'll happen whether Google releases a new Nexus or not. Everyone here knew when the Nexus S was released that dual core and other fun things were just over the horizon, and they bought it anyway. None of this is really news.
[Nexus S General] brrip:
hmm, since ice cream sandwich is only coming in q4, i guess it's safe to say this 'new phone' won't come out till then. and q4 is kinda the time we got our nexus s. makes perfect sense to me ;)

EDIT: aw dammit, i started typing then afked. now i realise my post just looks like a summary of zorak90's.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Yeah, so far Google's track record has been roughly every 11 months. So Q4 would make sense.
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
The announcement about 18 month support for phones is perfect for me, I get free hardware upgrades with my plan at 18 month intervals.

18 months is a long time in the cell world and I'll revisit what i want as a device then. I know my current one is probably a little outdated, but it's fast for what i need, it's got prompt (well somewhat.. still waiting on 2.3.4) updates and will probably be supported for much longer then the 18 months (if the nexus one is any indication)

I'm not too worried.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Im not surprised they anounced a new nexus it is Google I/O.

Next I/O wont be till next year...after the timeframe the next nexus is due
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Let me just point out- since the Nexus One is playing a prominent role in this discussion- that although I don't expect the Nexus One to not get Ice Cream Sandwich, I also think the ground to expect it will is shaky. Let's all remember that the Nexus One was released in January 2010, which was sixteen months ago now. Ice Cream Sandwich isn't due out until September at the earliest. Now Google seems to be pushing the 18 month support standard, which would put Ice Cream Sandwich outside the N1's support period. Since these announcements all came on the same day, it seems to me that Google is (among other, more honorable motives) maneuvering to excuse itself from the responsibility of upgrading the N1 should doing so prove impractical for them.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
I too am excited, and if Google does what they did with the Nexus S we could see it launch with Ice Cream. I am just hoping they bring more new things. I am so buying it if it comes to T-Mobile.

Sent from my HTC Dream
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
from what was mentioned before, it's not going to be the SGS2, but rather another incarnation of LG Dual Core

some one already leaked this out a couple of months back, just search the forum messages
[Nexus S General] catpunt:
Christmas

And I'll bet Sprint gets it at release (in addition to T-Mobile)

This announcements seems like bad timing for the Nexus S 4G return window!
[Nexus S General] Maximiano:
Looks like I will be holding onto my Evo till Q4...
[Nexus S General] rougegoat:
They didn't really confirm anything about a new Nexus. They did, however, say they're gonna have Ice Cream Sandwich out in about 6 months, which is realistically when a new Nexus would come out. So...probably yes, but till like a year after the Nexus S launched. Money on December or so.
[Nexus S General] pur_evil:
the article was rather obscure just saying that another google branded phone will be developed some time in the future...

we were all expecting quite a lot when we heard the nexus s was going to be released considering samsung did not follow through on some of the other features promised early on during development (gorilla glass, tv out, hd video).

despite this im still happy and to all our nexus one people there are very few hardware differences between the two so i doubt that google will stop updating on that front. in fact the upcoming "ice cream sandwich (TBA Q4)" was said to start standardizing os' between all android users on stock roms while still allowing a jumping off platform for developers and mod communities
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I'll be going iPhone5 in september.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
your wrong on the suport part and the 18 month thing.

the 18month thing is excluded from the nexus line.

all nexus's will get all update's until the device cant handle it anymore.

the 18month rule is for all the other devices out there
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
How about a Kal-El based device? Sounds on target with nVidia's timetable...
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Not that I don't believe you, but what do you base that on?
[Nexus S General] ahdee:
No LG, NO!!!
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Yea... just when you get used to AMOLED screens... you're gonna have to deal with LG and their massive light leaking displays =(
[Nexus S General] TheSystemHasFailed:
Nature of the beast, I'm afraid...
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
Well LGs latest phones haven't been too bad. The G2x and Optimus Black (or whatever it's called) are pretty solid.

Though I would hope that they stick with Samsung. A Nexus similar to the SGSII would be pretty sweet.
[Nexus S General] cilice:
LG hasnt been confirmed yet, has it? I also think google has some standards and understand that going away from pretty displays wont be their smartest decision.

But yeah, time for a new smartphone in december. ;D
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
I would prefer them going with a nice screen instead of LG. Perhaps SAMOLED Plus will be a good choice for the next Gen Nexus. I just hope it doesn't come out before the end of the year. At least some time Q1 if 2012. I just bought mine 2 weeks ago. I still need to get my moneys worth on this baby first.

The new Nexus definately need a dual core, 720p recording, at least 2mp front facing cam, with gorilla glass, 4.0" SAMOLED Plus display, and of course a graphic accelerator. If a minimum of that specs and ice cream sandwitch are in the next Gen, I'm ready to switch. :)
[Nexus S General] Yogi3:
I hope it looks like Mila Kunis and feeds me ice cream sandwiches ;)

No but for real I want Samsung to make the next Nexus cause I want it to be like the SGS2 but more bad ass :)

Plus you can tell Google and Samsung have something going on they gave away those bad ass tablets yesterday with the white back and army of androids that looked awesome wish I would of been there to get one :(
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
partly based on this.

http://www.androidcentral.com/google-announces-team-will-create-guidelines-device-updates

and partly based on what google said about the nexus line from the start.

being a developer phone/pure google phone's.

that will be supported until hardware cant handle it anymore.

"According to Google, new devices will receive the latest updates for 18 months after their release -- if the hardware allows. More to come. Be sure to follow our live blog here."

you can also guess out of this line,that it's referred to all carriers(even google)

that will submit/make a new device from this point on.

so the nexus one and nexus S isn't bond to this statement,tus not being a new device.

so even if google plans to not give ice cream to N1.we as comunity can stil demand it.

because it doesn't fall under the 18month rule.

(that we can request or will get updates for the N1 even if it already exists 18 months)
[Nexus S General] umbrella42:
Google, no "Best" Buy only distribution this time, please!

Google often locks out non-US customers which is not nice at all. :(
[Nexus S General] gogol:
4" screen max please ...

No 4.3", too big ...
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
They should give the online store thing another go and do worldwide shipping.

That should rack in some numbers.
[Nexus S General] catpunt:
if history is any indication, a new nexus wouldn't have the cuttingest edge hardware beating the top carrier devices (probably to avoid direct competition)

so we could expect tegra 2, exynos, etc
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
The nexus one was rocking top of the line specs when it was released, so your "history" is 1 for 2 so far.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Google's customer service is horrendous. I'd rather deal with Best Buy. Much better customer service than what Google currently has.

Now, if they do both, retail store and Google online store, I wouldn't care much since I'd go retail.
[Nexus S General] anirudh.pullela:
Personally I think Ice Cream won't be released on another Nexus.

What I base this on? The demo Nexus S used in Google I/O keynote for showing off the movie rentals definitely had a tinge of the holographic UI. A screen was posted on one of the Nexus S forums here on XDA(Don't remember which but check it out). If you look close at the status bar, the left part of it had some of that honeycomb blue.

So I'm thinking the next Nexus will come out sometime in the next year and Ice Cream will be released to the Nexus S first.

Still, the thought of a new and better Nexus is enticing!
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I still think that's pretty flimsy. The 18 month standard, if implemented, will be the first. Neither Google nor any carrier or manufacturer has committed in any enforceable way to push updates up to now, and even if they had, what any given hardware platform is capable of handling is a subjective question (if it installs, but a quarter of the features aren't supported and the phone runs super slow, it might still be technically regarded as being able to "handle it").

Again, I'm not saying Google won't support the Nexus One with Ice Cream Sandwich, but anyone who thinks they have some sort of obligation to is kidding themselves. The community can demand whatever it wants, but that doesn't mean they'll get it.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
I wouldn't put it past them to release a new device with it depending on how late in Q4 they are targeting only for 2 reasons.

1.) At MWC Andy Rubin said “each software release be accompanied by a hardware component”.

2.) It fits the timetable for new Nexus devices.

My guess is that it will be the first device to ship with Ice Cream Sandwich based on his comments at IO so far. We'll see if it gets released to the Nexus S before then or it's more of a Nexus S to Nexus One scenario regarding the release of Gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Could go either way, but I'm inclined to think if its initial release is on a Google phone, it will be a new one. That would be consistent for the reasons you pointed out, and I think Google will also feel obliged by the end of the year to have a dual core processor (among other advancements) in its flagship phone. In either case, I'm all but certain the NS will either be the launch platform for ICS or get it shortly thereafter, as the Nexus One did with Gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
It seems like LG might be manufacturing the new Nexus. It might be equipped with quad-core with Tegra 3.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
God by the time I'm ready for upgrade can't imagine. What will be out then.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
There is no way google would jump like that from the nexus s to the quadcore. Htc, samsung might do it but not google.

Making that jump would contribute further to the android fragmentation. That is why i tend to believe that google will stick to the latest trend and go for a dualcore- bare minimum 1ghz or perhaps 1.2
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
The processor has little to do with fragmentation compared to what carriers cause. Having the first quad core phone would only help Android and phone development.
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
I agree. Google would just have to ensure that the OS would still run well on single-core phones.
[Nexus S General] DerSeppel:
With Android 3.0 coming, my guess would be a Nexus tablet.
[Nexus S General] Hatespawn:
This and hopefully an LTE phone. As much as I hate Samsung for what they(and Verizon) did with the Fascinate I hope they make the next Nexus devices. You reallycant argue with the hardware configuration even if they use a lot of plastic. I hope for all our sake that we all got our phones at Best Buy with the buy back plan. Mine will definitely come in handy.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Ok I am about to start saving for this phone now!! This is about to be EPIC!!!

http://androidandme.com/2011/05/news/nvidia-ceo-hints-at-tegra-3-powered-nexus-3/
[Nexus S General] jottosson:

I'll start saving right aw... after... tomorrow. Time for beer now :D
[Nexus S General] wild1z:
I can just hear the batteries draining. lol
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
Eh,no.

It actualy go's like this.

The more cores.

The less batterie draining.

Tus the cpu with 2 or more cores handles the voltage/power wey difrently and way less consuming
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
i hope LG doesn't use the form factor that they used on the 2X, which would be a big squared slab. i prefer more curves like on the nexus s and even nexus one.

regardless, i'll probably grab it when it comes as i'm starting to become a nexus enthusiast. can't even imagine any carrier/manufacturer skins or bloatware anymore.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
Next nexus wont have hardware buttons.just like all honeycomb tablets ;) just saying
[Nexus S General] catpunt:
if this phone comes to sprint i will buy it so fast it's not even funny, i don't care how much it is
[Nexus S General] Yogi3:
I hope to God LG won't make this just for the sake of my eye's that love the Samsung screens so much...
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I have yet to see anything making me think LG will be making the next Nexus. Why do people keep saying that?
[Nexus S General] Yogi3:
I agree with you sir I haven't read anything related to LG getting involved with the next Nexus ...

If anything I would think its a two horse race between Motorola and Samsung ... But I think it will be Samsung that will make it you can tell Google and Samsung have a relation going on... inadequate that because of the give away of the tablets at I/O and well I doubt that Samsung would not do anything to out number any of it's competitive ...
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I don't care how many cores it has if it runs well. Rather have a solid dual core system than a shiny quad core processor for which the hardware and software aren't optimized.
[Nexus S General] DerSeppel:
A Kal-El based device could be a hint on a tablet too ... seriously - what use does Ultra-HD have on a 4''-screen?
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
That is the power of new technology. Plus the idea of power saving is kept in mind in all new CPU designs.
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
Similar speculation I had from my previous post. Sounds like it's heading the the Quad core Tegra 3 direction. All we need is a 300+ nit screen. Hopefully Samsung's super amoled plus 4" display with gorilla glass. If it all come true than I'm gonna be the first one to her it. (Finger crossed) :)
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
Agree. I usually do not like Samsung's cellphone design. But the whole curve display on Nexus S made it very attractive. I definately will vote for Samsung to build the next Nexus if they keep up the god work despite the plastic material they use which I am not a big fan of. Metal casings, Samsung!
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
Plus Samsung is one of the first to manufacture chromebook.
[Nexus S General] NexusConcept:
If it's a flagship phone having a powerful hardware is not an issue. Update could be made through software to optimize it. And being Google's flagship phone you will get the update first. :)
[Nexus S General] VAgathon:
Hopefully Google will throw in a quad-band WCDMA chip, too. Having so many variants is just irritating.
[Nexus S General] slead1:
What Samsung should work on this time is the battery, and Google also should have a look at it, I wasn't very impressed with the Nexus S battery life...
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
Really? Have you tried desire hd? :)
[Nexus S General] slead1:
yea my wife has a Desire HD, but that too is not really convincing.

I have a HTC Mozart as a company phone...now that can really hold a charge although I hate this windows phone 7.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Nice post, cm7 and diet gb I build already have -t ext3 set, do you think ext4 would make much difference?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cellsafemode:
ext4 has a better block allocator and other features both backwards compatible and ext4 specific. There's really no reason to not mount ext2/3 and 4 as ext4
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Thanks for the answer, This is also in the kernel I compile,

CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y

CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y

CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cellsafemode:
Yes, i began my work on the kernel tonight and noticed that in the latest kernels at least that ext4 is being masqueraded as ext2 and as i thought early on as might be the case, that the reporting of the partition as being mounted as ext2 is a bug that has been squashed in the newest vanilla kernels.

This is still an issue, but not a serious one. FS repair tools and such may bug out when trying to found out what fs they're dealing with as the kernel reports the wrong ext version but the functionality of the fs is not affected ( you still get journalling and all that jazz).

So this is less of a performance issue (cept the adding of data=writeback) and more of an issue with other programs needing to see the correct fs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Ur Diet 09.05 still did not see ext4 partition by Titanium.
