I've tried this before and it doesn't work. This is the reason why I looked into rooting my device and ultimately flash it with teamroyal's ROM. Like neidlinger said, I got netflix working on my phone flawlessly!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2627397:
i've tried all kinds of ROMs and netflix apps. none worked. until today! CM7 Nightly #100. then i had to install the 6.6.2011 updated netflix apk and boom, its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] StrmTrooper:
interesting i just downloaded the apk off the internet and it seems to work fine so far, but i haven't used it that much either

How bout this to further your open-closed concept statement. Smartphone users, who want to be told what to do with their devices, have iPhones. True smartphone power users, who love.customization, go with Android and its many different, unique, and tasty flavors.

apple is always pushing the envelope................

little do iphone users realize that every iphone they buy makes android phones cheaper for us. I wonder what touch screen the iphone is using.... Is it apple? Nope its LG... I wonder what chip set the iphone is using.....is it apple? Sadly no its a samsung chipset.....

Its not fair damnit, I want apple to be number 1. If my phone isnt number 1 then I will end my life by years end.

I have a couple androids, iphone,blackberry, and a windows phone. I love them all, but my "I cant leave **** alone side" just craves the android. I work in a job that prompts the iphone vs android debate allot, and for God's sake NO im not an att salesman. The stuff people hear and ask me is astounding. Then you get the guy who knows all and takes out his iphone to let me see him tinkering with it. The conversation goes like this

My dumbass " hey man I see you have an iphone, nice, you lookin at any of the other new phones coming out?"

I.T. guru " Ah man I love the iphone, I can do anything with it. I will never use anything else"

rehtard me " You ever thought about an android or a wp7? They have some amazing stuff going on?"

I.T. jedi " pfff those phones just cant do what I can do on the iphone. I can use my iphone to log into my vpn at work"

Me "oh yeah...." walks away dumb founded

Then you get the fanbois. I asked a friend the other day who is an apple fanatic if he ever thought about switching it up. He said and I **** you not that android is too hard to use and doesnt have many apps. This is someone who is in the i.t. field for fawk sake. Time and time again I meet people who are not stupid that are grossly misinformed. I am not hating on the iphone at all, I think they are great, just a little sick of looking at the same screen since 2007 and of course itunes. Then again without the dev community I would have left android alone a long time ago. Thats why before I buy a new phone I look to see if the booloader is crackable and if it has dev support.

Uninstall Kies completely and manually download the installation executable from Samsung's website and reinstall it. When you run it right click and press run as administrator.

I had the same problem as you with and was also using Win7 64bbit to update FW.

I read somewhere on these forums that to able to use Kies, you should go to settings>applications>development and make sure that USB debugging is unticked and also quit any applications that you have running as well.

That worked for me.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwirked:
So after using a D1 since release day I finally got tired of it lack of ram and rom memory and upgraded to a Thunderbolt the day it came out. At first I was thrilled with it. Now.. not so much. Battery life is not so good and developer progress has been sort of slow with lots of hold ups. Not too mention the awful direction Verizon seems to be headed in bloating and locking down their devices. So I've been considering switching to Sprint. When I found out yesterday that turtle giving a $125 credit to new subscribers that port their old number.... well needless to say once I get back from this deployment in June I'm ditching my Thunderbolt and getting my fiancée and myself two NS4G's, the feat news being that it'll only be $40 more a month for both phones than it was for the one thunderbolt!

So anyway.. my questions.

I was blindsided by a few things on the thunderbolt and I'm not looking for a repeat exerience with the new phones.

I know the 4g isn't gorilla glass but is he screen very scratch resistant? I ran my d1 without a protector for 1 1/2 years without a single scratch. The Tbolt screen isn't so durable...

Screen technology... how many different kind of screens are there for the NS? which one(s) does the NS4G have?

Car mounts? I have bought one for each of my phones... I love them. Are there any OEM ones or really good ones for the NS4G?

Reviews indicate that battery life is pretty good? Does user experience back this up?

Pound for pound would you rather have the NS4G or the Thunderbolt? Also Sprint has 4g where I work and live... VZW not so much.

Ty in advance to any helpful replies or links. I've been sifting for info and haven't much specifically about the 4g and I apologize for all the questions. Just feel like I got burned one the thunderbolt and do t want to repeat that experience.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkAgent:
This isn't the answer to one of your questions, but be warned that Sprint's 3G coverage has degraded lately (they lost a roaming contract) and 4G isn't in all cities yet. Heck it isn't even in all major cities yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stillblood:
I love my ns4g. Came from an evo. sprint service isnt as good as the big v, but they have chepper plans. 4g is still a battery killer. but i get is light years above the evo and TB (my girl has one)

i always use zagg screan protectors so cant help you there
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwirked:
Even on 3g only the TB battery life sucks... and the notification light is so useless you might as well not even have one so getting a phone without one won't be so hard.

The only thing I know that is going to suck is soon the Nexus 3 will be out. I guess I just have to ensure I set enough money back to buy it at full price when it does :D Gonna keep digging thru the forum trying to figure stuff out on this phone in the meantime.

Do you highly recommend the ZAGG products? and how easy are they to install and not **** it up?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I actually sold my Thunderbolt and ditched Verizon for the NS4G. I have zero regrets. Yes, coverage(service) is not as good, although acceptable. The radio on the 4G is standard Samsung, meaning it doesnt get as good a signal as the HTC or MOTO devices(this is a topic of debate, some say its the AOSP that causes it, I disagree).Ive had a screen protector on it since I pulled it out of the box, so cant answer ya there. Battery life hasnt been great for me, I am rooted though and running a custom kernel, not oc'd though. My Bolt got a little better battery life. The NS4G is a very good fit in the hand, I felt the Bolt was just a tad to much in the hand, although I loved the screen.

Overall, the Pro's outweigh the Con's. If you get the NS4G, I doubt you will regret it. The Bolt is a great idea, poorly executed and rushed though. I found it buggy and a little overhyped pre-release.

This is just my 2 cents.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honestabe:
Off topic....

The title of the thread reads like Yoda to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwirked:
According to sprints coverage made they have good 4g signal where I live and work... I'm just so sick and tired of waiting for android goodness too "trickle down" to me via a dev who has a life/job/kids. Nothing wrong with that and I love everything the community does but I can't take not getting the stuff that makes android cool without having to jump thru a million hoops.

Hopefully the service won't be too bad, and hey! If enough of us leave VZW's oppressive ways Sprint is bound to get better.. right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00kienrayray:
so would this explain why even though I'm getting full bars 3g, it's so god dang slow?? sprint told me there were tower issues in my area and techs would look at it. but if the lost roaming contract is the cause of this, then i'm just gonna jump ship stats.

to the op, i came from an EVO to the dell streak. i actually missed the smaller screen bc i got tired of holding those big phones. the biggest advantage imo is that the nexus s has a perfect screen size for viewing and holding. feels great in the hand as the curves and the lighter weight allows your hand to better wrap around and grip the phone without fatigue or cramping.

most importantly, go for whatever service is best for you. sounds like sprint is a no-brainer. unfortunately in my area, sprint 4g is non-existant and 3g has seemingly gone down the hole.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 903tex:
I'll play on this. Coming from a evo, epic, g2, iphone 4, now back to sprint and got the NS4G. I finally feel like i have a phone that i dont "FEEL" The need to sell to get something better at this moment. Mainly because its a full google phone. No middle man, no waiting, and once more devs hop on this phone, your going to love it! Far as scratching i didnt even want to test it out i cop the full body zagg ASAP so i cant help you there. In all honestly the evo has messed me up about these other htc copies that are coming on other carriers. All may have better specs in some areas, but i still feel like its a evo copy cat IMO. Nothing to make me switch carriers for, or be like "Yea that's better than my evo" But if the service is good in your area and it doesnt gets on your nerves, then welcome to the nexus s family!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyhoang:
I had the Thunderbolt and am now using a Nexus S 4G.

I liked the Thunderbolt a lot. I have very good LTE coverage so speeds were blazing fast. The battery wasn't so good. I was using the extended battery and was getting about 20 hours of usage.

The phone was too big and heavy though, so when the Nexus S 4G came out I switched and am glad I did!

The form factor of the Nexus is a lot better. Battery is decent, got 10 hours today with 3 hours of screen time, and with 4G on all day.

I love the SAMOLED, mainly because of the blacks. I have a black theme on my phone and it looks amazing!

Downside is that the Nexus has less RAM. It has 512MB but it seems that only 350MB is accessible by apps. I have noticed some lag on it VS the Thunderbolt with 768MB of RAM.

I'm glad I made the switch. Gingerbread is awesome, and so is the google talk video chat.

For the car mount, check out the Kensington K39256US. It is made for the iPhone but works great with the Nexus S. It's cheap on amazon.

4G brute

Got a scratch on the screen and I'm really careful with my phones. Always in a dedicated pocket, maybe caught on a button while going in? Still, never scratched the front of my phone before. Hopefully not a sign, lets see what else happens within 30 days, then back to Best Buy!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00kienrayray:
Also, zagg is cool, but the price is high and the texture sucks. I use skinomi. Similar material, no orange peel, and only $16 shipped after a 25% coupon online. Its actually pretty simple to install given u follow directions and are patient with it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00kienrayray:
hey in case you were planning on the ns4g soon, wirefly has a deal where its $99 on new contract, no activation/shipping charges, and no taxes. Thats $99 OTD, paying what the TMo guys are paying for theirs now on contract:D

I was thinking about picking up an at&t ns bc my sprint service is kinda slow here, but for $99, i'll stick with it. actually just ordered mine, and gonna take my current ns4g back to best buy where i payed $263 OTD...savings of $163:cool:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
To the OP.. I would SERIOUSLY think of two things

Check your coverage.. Sprints coverage has been dramatically sliced recently: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/281992#281992

#2... You know those 3G speeds you got on Verizon? Sprint calls that 4G.. 3G on Sprint is annoying to say the least since these coverage loses.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
Has anyone been successful in booting into APX/NVFlash mode on this? I have one ordered and already have a little buyers remorse.. blobs and all that junk, its rather pathetic. No OC kernel either, eh? Coming from a 1.7ghz gtab, this might be unusable! Well, we'll see. Are there any custom branches of the asus source? Maybe we can get a few things working like gpu/cpu oc to t25 standards.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
Currently nvflash is locked. Overclocked kernals are coming i've heard. Alot of the problems with really custom stuff is the lack of source code.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
Woops lost my intended post.. was something to the tune of how nvflash has saved many gtabs from being bricked.. seriously, its a great tool. I'm sure its a Google thing, maybe one of their Honeycomb decrees. Probably thinking of how nvflash and Windows 8 would come into play..

Google is really getting on my nerves... they're starting to get the "we know better than you, so here" attitude that Apple has. Catch the diss on Microsoft, regarding their 'torture' of users by letting them manage things? Ugh. Google can't play the bash ms card, its ****ing old. Can't believe I bought another tegra tab.. who wants?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
I think its the company that makes the device that is blocking nvflash not google.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husker91:
Is your rant finished? Maybe you should have read up a little before purchasing this wonderful tablet. So you dont want a tegra tab huh? Whats left to choose from? Ipad? GL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
I said I can't believe I bought another Tehran tab. Key word is another. Nvidia is starting to pull their antics with gb video decoding drivers for the harmony board. By antics, I mean what they've (and ATI) been doing with their linux video drivers - not supporting older hardware and not releasing source so consumers can create their own drivers for 'older' hardware - ie harmony based devices.

I might only have a use for an ipad as a dog toy/frisbee - I have a pitbull and a Dogo Argentino, itd be funny.

I was done with my rant.. but I suppose you prolonged it.

BTW: I did read up. I found no info on the issue of NVFlash. Have a Xoom, Gtab, and now one of these wonderful tablets. So far, the gtab is the most fun. Can the Asus get 4700 in quadrant? Do you see it ever being that fast? You're right about lack of alternatives, I suppose there is the Hardkernel odroids for someone like me, new device has a modular cpu board.

I'll be sure to at least try to get nvflash working. Does anyone have a bootloader they could post up? Usually viewing in a hex editor can give you a clue as to what the boot scenarios could be.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
There's a thread over in development where several people tried to get nvflash going. Their opinions in the end were nvflash is locked and you need some sort of signed key to use it. Any nvflash commands tried, failed.

It may be possible that in the future asus may provide the key, but from their response to the people who bricked via the ota update (just having them rma the device), it doesn't seem like it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
You probably need a dev bootloader. This is based on the Ventana board, right? Another reason could be that the nvflash tool doesn't support ext* fs, but I doubt that. If Asus releases a tegra2 linux netbook, based on the same Ventana board, things could get better. Thanks for the heads up. I'll check out the development section
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
I know quadrant is pretty cool benchmarking tool but you might want to give this a try too. Grab a friend, load the same movie up on the Gtab and the Transformer, place both the devices three feet in front of you flat on a table and ask your friend which one is better.

I had to return my GTab when my girlfriend commented that having a tablet that can't actually be seen unless held at the right angle directly in front of you is rather useless.

The Transformer is a brand new tablet with an active, if somewhat still empty handed, community behind it. Out of the box though, using the default software, it's an entirely useable system that does exactly what I want it too (in my case quickly display photos, web browsing, youtubing and web surfing). I suspect three months from now it'll have some solid development work behind it since all of the alternatives have managed to overlook the importance of price point as well as innovation in their scheduled releases.

Posts about ROM behavior can go in the General section, I think that's pretty appropriate. Or the Q&A section, if its a question.
