I see no way to buy the desire s for £240

dialafone are selling the old Desire for £249 on PAYG
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
what do you mean? is this deal reliable or not?
[HTC Desire S] silverstorm:
There is a huge thread about this on HotUKDeals website. I ordered on Saturday, but still waiting to receive confirmation. They have since pulled the deal as they probably got too many orders than they can actually handle.

Hey guys,

i am planning to buy a 32gb memcard for my galaxy 3...it will be class2 or class4...dont get better cards in India..

i just want to know if anyone has tried using 32gb card on this phone...

does it work properly:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] peldax:
Slot for sd cards is same for all new sammy phones i think
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
lolz...i didnt mean slot as in size...i meant that there is support for 32gb card??

has anyone tried using a 32gb card...does it effect the performance of the phone...
[Galaxy 3 General] peldax:
if slot supports, than its good -> froyo supports 32GB cards
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok...thanks..then its 32gb for me...gonna buy soon :D
[Galaxy 3 General] android_murphy:
yup it supports ... i am using a 32 gb card and it works just fine ... don't remember class though its probably 2 .... though a tad sluggish on ocassion, it really doesn't affect performance too much ... i needed it to store my gigantic music collection

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
another question.

Can i go to gingerbread straight from fiefly 3.0?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Going to gingerbread (except CM7 and MIUI) requires a full wipe, via Odin, and new bootloaders. The bootloaders are where the risk lies, if something goes wrong you can brick your phone. Because of this you can go to gingerbread from any ROM running any version of android.

Sent from my Captivate running Cognition
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes, flashing stock gingerbread with odin it will overwrite it. So it's just like flashing to stock eclair with odin one click lol if you couldn't do that from another rom you would never be able to get to stock. Also Flashing stock gingerbread has the Exact same risk involved as odin one click. So if you've used that before it's not the panic inducing, palm sweating the entire time, ordeal some people make it out to be.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeepon:
why would u wanna go to firefly? -_-
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
1. He's coming FROM firefly.

2. What's wrong with firefly? :) That is my favorite froyo rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeepon:
lol im sorry. i misread. i thought he wanted to go from gingerbread to firefly. i dont have a problem with firefly, i just meant why would he wanna downgrade.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] henrysheil:
Hi all,

I'm a noob who was happy to get a BA to use instead of a Pocket PC/ MDAII. I thought the battery was no good so bought two new ones (1490mAh).

But even these only give me about 2-3 hours, with all possible power saving settings in use (brightness, beams, bluetooth off, power down if unused etc.).

I've searched and read up a lot on here, it's an excellent forum. I've flashed the ROM from the original 1.12 WWE (I think) to various ones I've found on here using WM6 and WM5 claiming to give good life, still getting nothing better than 3 hours even when left completely idle :( :confused::confused::confused:.

So is there a common hardware fault known for draining the battery? It certainly seems battery life is a common topic here for BA, but I can't see a phone that gives less than say 12 hrs use per charge having ANY success in the marketplace, yet the BA is regarded as pretty popular.

I'm about to bin it and go back to the PPC, or worse the Nokia.

Any ideas please for troubleshooting or remedies before I do that? One strange thing is even when it's idle the back is slightly warm to touch, so I'm thinking of either an invisible rogue application running or a parasitic current drain in the hardware.

All help and suggestions gratefully received.

get an extended life battery
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] henrysheil:
SOLUTION found

The clue was the warm battery :)

A repair guy over the phone said it was probably water damaged, sure enough the "white spot" inside was showing VOID in red.

So I opened it up including some of the sheet metal covers on the board, and used cotton buds and methylated spirits, cleaned off some deposits.

Put it back together and it's now had >100 hrs of standby time and is still over 50% on battery meter.

Now on to finding a ROM I like and starting to use it.
[Nexus S General] kushdeck:
Ok i need some testing. I was asked by quite a few people to get a nexus s 4g build up, so here is my first attempt. Please dont be too harsh. Let me know the ins and outs.

Edit: my bad I will report in the issue tracker

Can you make it more clear if it's CMDA or GSM? :P
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
the new cm7 nightly has this bug too.
[Nexus S General] nickespi:
Check and see if your MSID is still present. This can be a issue flashing roms with this phone..I know first hand, you may need to take it back to the store or call sprint customer care and ask them to change your MSID..Sprint customer care honestly does not offer good support with this phone..But that is a for sure fix if you cant make any calls or texts and lost all network connections all together.
[Nexus S General] s12512:
im coming from opensoju. i did a complete wipe (data, cache, dalvik). other roms work fine but i really want this 1! is there something im missing?
[Nexus S General] s12512:
where is the msid?
[Nexus S General] blozout:
This is tough. I was thrilled initially coming from my EVO but the radio issues are getting to me. I drop calls all the time with the Nexus 4G in areas where I never had a problem in the past. The 4G signal is also weaker as is WiFi. If they fix this with an update then I definitely recommend switching otherwise I say wait it out. Also I miss the extra screen real estate of the EVO its definitely noticeable. Good luck with your decision.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I dont think you even can, but are you flashing this on a gsm nexus? Thats the only thing I can think would cause you not to have service...
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
My Brother picked up the Nexus-S 4G last week, coming from a broken EVO he dropped :( Anyways he said twice the phone totally went off the network no calls or texts could be made or received for hours on end, but those same days my EVO was working just fine, so it was not Sprint. He said the radio in the Nexus is screwed up or something, very spotty connections.

Thanks, I appreciate your work kushdeck.

I'm still having an issue with the gapps, however. After entering my login credentials I am presented with the first 2 checkboxes, but not the next 2 that talk about restoring and backing up my profile. It just jumps straight to the "Your Google Account is now linked to this phone" screen.

This is with the newest gapps just posted in the OP, 5-28-2011.

Can I flash this rite over q?

Kush great job this is a very nice piece of work and I/we appreciate all your time and effort.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Hmmm. I flashed it last night to test for kushdeck and I didn't get the fc in sprint settings. Did you flash over what you were already running?

is there a different way to download this? it takes 4ever and it doesnt finish sometimes!

Ive had that trouble with my laptop a few times. Went into my mobile browser on wifi and it went a lot quicker for some reason.
[Nexus S General] koolaide:
Here is a mirror for the new gapps and 1.2r.
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
If you just write cache and dalvik and not Data you'll have everything just the way you like it
[Nexus S General] koolaide:
It seems like even if you just wipe cache and davlik and flash it still deletes all of the apps and resets the market. I also seems the backup to Google isn't working..

Maybe the gapps is missing something..
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
Is anyone getting f/c on sprint system updates after flashing new gapps? When I flash new gapps I get the f/c but all is good after I flash the old gapps.
[Nexus S General] oakleyrdc:
Has anyone tried Asphalt 6 on this rom? It just force closes for me. Besides that, this is the best rom I have used so far.
[Nexus S General] debh945:
I'm not getting FC on Sprint Settings running r and the GAPPS from 5/26/11. I also noticed that if I just flashed over q with only a cache/dalvik wipe I didn't have my Gmail, Market, etc. so I had to go back and flash the GAPPS and set them up. No biggie though.

I also notice I'm getting FC on DSP and Volume+ when I receive/make a phone call. But I would imagine those two apps don't play well together so I'm going to uninstall DSP and see how it goes. Other than that, I can say that this ROM is definitely what I am going to stick with. I've had this phone for less than two weeks and flashed several different ROMS but have had the best battery life with Deck. I'm only losing about 5%/hour where I was losing at least 10%.

Thanks for all your work and time on this Kush! Donation sent!

A honeycomb style lock would be a nice feature for this rom.
[Nexus S General] chappy824:
You should try it for a few days and you will love it.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
I second that statement. It keeps getting better with every update. Battery life is 10x better on this rom as well, at least on my phone it is.
[Nexus S General] chappy824:
I will agree with that. My battery has been awesome ever since I switched to this and wiped batt stats. Underclocked most of the time and use wifi a lot. I have had up to 32 hours on this between charges. I have been charging while phone off the last few times and that seems to help.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] oakleyrdc:
Do you wipe battery stats before you flashed the rom, or can I do it any time?
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to charge to 100% (or full in this case) and then go in and wipe battery stats.
[Nexus S General] chappy824:
I don't know if this right but I installed rom while fully charged then wiped stats. Used phone till it died then charge w/o interruption with phone off. Worked for me.

[Nexus S General] billybennett:
This Nexus 4G is my first foray with Android and after trying every Rom that is available. I've found this to be the best of both worlds. I prefer the stock launcher but at the same time missed all of the cyanogen customization's. I flashed the latest Netarchy Kernel and so far this has been the best of the best.

I really appreciate the time you've taken to create this and will be donating soon for all of the work you've put in.
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Getting my Nexus-S 4G this week, looking forward to install this ROM, love what I am reading, already bought the case by Incipio the "Feather".

Will version "S" be out this week ? Will wait to install this if it's not too far away ? And hope battery lfie on this ROM will be better than my EVO running a Sense based ROM, my EVO is just a tad too larger for me lately, feels like a brick in my Summer shorts, and it's just too thick and bulky. I like the Samsung form factor and lightweight.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
This thread should be moved to the NS4G section.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:

[Nexus S General] mstein01:
first off i wanna start by saying that kush cooks up some of the best android roms to date! i rocked his rom for the EVO forever and it was super solid. not to mention he is now developing for a phone that he doesnt even own! Thanks again man! youre such a beast! :D

but i was just curious to see which of Nets kernels people are having the best luck with. ive trieda few different ones and dont seem to get much more than 13 hours or so with light/moderate use. im just running them stock and not OC. any insights would be appreciated.

T I A
[Nexus S General] rod_says:
Which Netarchy kernel would I apply to this rom? Is this one a stock rom or non stock. Also what would be better CFS or BFS, and lastly can I flash the kernel after I have already flashed this rom [on top of this rom]

thanks in advance, I am a noob.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Im running Netarchy Nexus BFS stable version for a non stock custom rom, and I'm not having any problems at all. It really just depends on how your phone reacts to each version. You should have no problem flashing by itself after you already flashed the rom. I usually just wipe cache and delvik. Let us know how it works out for you.
[Nexus S General] r3anim4t3d:

[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
Weird...I get an FC when I try to go into sprint system updates.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
If you have already tried reflashing the rom, here is another thing to try. Reboot into CW, then go to advanced, click fix permissions, then reboot. See if that might work. It worked for me before. If you haven't tried reflashing, I would try that first. Let me know if it works for you.
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
I've tried reflashing...going to fix permissions and will report back.

Edit: fixed permissions and still FCs...
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:

[Nexus S General] 87Octane:
Same here.

Apart from that this rom runs awesome.
[Nexus S General] QuasarZ:
Fixing the permissions didn't work for me either. Would downloading latest rom via phone matter?
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
I flashed the old gapps (5/26) and this fixed it for me. The new gapps gave me the f/c's
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Yeah I just use the gapps from CM7, and its working perfectly. It shouldn't matter about downloading from phone, that's where I downloaded. If your coming from a different rom I would suggest wiping data, along with cache and delvik like Mikey said though.
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
I did all of that. Not sure what the deal is...I'm on 1.2r

[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
Going to try them. Wiping both didn't work either...

Thing is...I just did that last night because of this.
