I have had this same issue on both 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, about 2-3 times a week when I wake up and the phone is on the charger, it is either locked up with the buttons lit up or a dim boot animation loop. It has happened to me on CM7 and this one. And it has happened on both Net's kernels and Mathkid's kernels. It has to be the ROM, but I don't know enough about it to diagnose.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Lol if you don't like bln just turn it off in bln control
[Nexus S General] debh945:
It's not that I don't like the BLN, and I don't think it is a BLN issue. It is locked up and requires a battery pull. Even mashing on the power button does nothing.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Huh???

I have never had that issue...can you try reflashing the kernel
[Nexus S General] debh945:
Yeah, I reflashed this morning and changed the minimum speed to 200 and uninstalled the battery tweak to see if that helps. But like I said, I really think it is the Rom as a previous poster had the same issue with no custom kernels.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Yeah maybe
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Just curious, did you use a program to back up your apps and data?
[Nexus S General] debh945:
Yep, I use TB but I don't have any schedules set up to automatically back up.
[Nexus S General] HareyCarey:
I think they are asking to see if you restored the data with the apps. If so, that could be the root of your problems.
[Nexus S General] blizzake:
I've had this issue several times on miui and cm7 never on this Tom though.... the only thing I've changed is wiping data and dalvik atleast 3 times....also using matrix when I had the issue and currently using it I dunno if this is a kernel issue tho
[Nexus S General] debh945:
Ohh, no I don't restore data. I can tell from the time my texts stop that this lock up happens about the time the battery reaches full charge.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I had some weird force close issues of like 10 apps in a row...like I installed the wrong kernel (not sure if you've ever done that:)... Anyhow, this was the first time I have ever used TB to restore my apps. I didn't restore system data, but my apps remembered things from the previous install which leads me to believe there was some sys data stored in the apps. Anyhow, I've since removed a bunch and reinstalled and haven't had any issues.

Now...what I am really missing...

Does anyone know how to force roam on this ROM? Roam Control doesn't work and neither do the options under settings for 'national' and 'international' roaming...
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Roam control works just fine on my phone
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
You are using a Nexus S4G on this ROM correct? What are your settings?

Any setting I try I get "lost data connection because of internation roaming....etc"
[Nexus S General] derrick_:
Anyone else using the text signal display and its stuck at 85 dBm no matter the real signal strength?
[Nexus S General] ccrosno:
J works fine for me. Says roaming indicator off but who needs it to say sprint to work right. I may have had to flash a new kernel to get wifi to work but that's an easy fix. I am using net's 1.3.2 bfs and it works fine.

Edit sorry this is for dazed. Quoted wrong post
[Nexus S General] kushdeck:
ok first up to bat today, will be another nexus build. this time, we should be golden. will upload soon as its done, hopefully we make progress!

-deck
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Ok. The roaming indicator is what he's trying to fix. Im in and out of area 2 days a week and didn't want to rack up data roaming charges. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Roaming indicator is fixed. He broke something getting 4g in there. Did you guys not getting service with the latest try flashing a different kernel.?
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Yeah I tried several different others and none worked. Tried both of Netarchy Nexus Kernels and stock on the version he had up this morning.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Hmmm, ok. Just making sure. I was messing with some kernels and some booted but I didn't have service.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
They all booted for me, just no service.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
LOL, I wasnt talking about his. I built some from different sources and that was one of the problems I had with them. They would boot and wifi worked, just no service. Thought maybe it was a kernel issue here...
[Nexus S General] s12512:
same here. no service!
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
No Credit For Me. Saw something like this in EVO section. Just made to work for us.

This is a modified eri.xml for the Nexus S 4g. This .xml goes directly in /data with read write execute for all. chmod 777 /data/eri.xml. This will modify the "Sprint" to whatever you want. Just open it up and change where you see "Google" to what you want. Must be changed 3 times within this eri.xml. Make sure they are all the same case-sensitive I think. Im on CM7 and it works for me. Please test. Thanks.

extract from zip and put in /data with full permissions, reboot

The default says "Google"

Maybe someone can make a flashable zip
[Nexus S General] kushdeck:
ok i am kind of unclear on a few things. so on latest, no service, but the builds before had service with the romaing indicator issue? mike, or anybody else, if you could join me in irc if you get a second, i could really use some help/testing. #gingerbread-deck on freenode.

i hope to have a fully functional build up soon. WITH 3d app drawer :D

[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
post a link to this damn irc, i can never find them lol.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Not familiar with irc, and not a developer, but if I can help in anyway let me know.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Im not understanding. I already posted a fix, and a flashable zip to make "roaming indicator off" say Sprint. Am I missing something?
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Are you talking about the same zip you used on cm7? I tried flashing that on this rom and it wouldn't boot past the splash screen. If your talking about a different one, I apologize.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
No. This is for if anyone wants to customize the text without modifying any framework. In the eri.xml file, it has the text "Google" 3 times. If for instance you want it to say "Mikey", just replace the word "Google" with "Mikey". Now it will say "Mikey"

Never saw that posted, must have overlooked it. I apologize, I will give it a try with a previous version. Thank you very much.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Yeah. What settings would you like to know about?

I have all roaming checked in network settings, and I have the phone selected in roam control options.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Unchecking International Roaming will disable domestic roaming. [ns4g]
[Nexus S General] yangers:
This is not happening in my phone. What kernel are you using?
[Nexus S General] fpummer@yahoo.com:
Fast ROM

This is the fastest ROM I have seen. The best part is the battery life doubled. I'm using Matrix cfs 5.5 and the new radio. Thanks for all the work. The phone runs like it was advertised finally.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Okay, stupid question, but is there another zip to flash for the new radios? I haven't been on the site too much, and just assumed they were included in the new ROMs
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
First post on this thread.

[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Thanks. Just flashed
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Ok, that's why I was asking. Restoring data has caused that issue for me in the past. Im not having any issues like that so far right now with this rom.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
matr1x cfs 5.5
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Ok, thanks for the tip about the roaming...it worked.

Now...can someone please tell me how to get over 10 hours of battery?

I use latitude, gmail, exchange, beautiful widget clock/home, but no notifications from FB or G+. I undervolt Matr1x 5.5 and am using Ondemand gov OC'd at 1200. What gives??? Any ideas anyone? Oh yeah...brightness 70% up. Can't think of anything else to add.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
All depends on use. Heavy use with those settings is only gonna get you 5 hours. Turn your brightness down. Latitude eats battery. If I use my phone lightly I'll get 16-20 hours easy. As soon as I'm checking it all the time and posting stuff left and right, it drops down to 6-8
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I appreciate this response. This makes me realize I'm not crazy. I was wondering how in the world people were saying they were getting 20+ hours. Just seemed unreal to me. Thank you for this.
[Nexus S General] HareyCarey:
I can get through a ten hour day at work and go home with about 40ish% or less with heavy use on breaks and in between lifts(read: texting, internet, xda, messing with new settings, reboots to recovery for flashing boot animations, etc) I have my screen down all the way and have Calibrated(N1) rendering effect enabled. I use Trinity TUV11 and switch between that and Matr1x v5.5 all the time. Different flavors, you know?
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
The big ones of latitude, the weather/clock (how often does it sync?) and brightness. I use a brightness app that is not a widget and it has 0%,25%,50%,75%&100% built in and is 2 clicks. Inside its at 0%-25% and outside well obvious.
[Nexus S General] debh945:
Ok, woke up again today (I work midnights) and my phone was on the charger with the boot animation loop. I ran a logcat in adb while it was doing this but have no idea what I am looking for. If anyone with more knowledge than me wants to look at it and give me some insight, I would appreciate it.

http://pastebin.com/pXfb1mC4
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Wow...thanks for this breakdown. What is the brightness app that you are referring to. That's something I could use.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
In the market its brightness level by curvefish.

Plus when you click on it and the %'s come up the slider shows up so you can go even lower or set to what ever.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Okay, I can honestly say I haven't noticed a difference at all with the new radio. I didn't really seem to have issues to begin with, but I was hoping this would pump up my wifi reception a bit. Wifi still sucks
[Nexus S General] briguyy:
So far loving this Rom. Running Matrix 5.5 cfs kernel and no problems. Im getting full bars on WIFI and 3g im getting 3 out of 5 bars...which is what my Virgin Mobile phone is getting ( Virgin Mobile runs on Sprints network ) which is good in my area. My 3g speeds at home are slow but tested in different places around town and other cities it varies greatly. I dont get 4g at my house but tested in another city was 7mbs down..pretty good. Im satisfied with my speaker volume ans everything that they promised in 2.3.5. The only compaint i have is my back button freezes up sometimes and it takes 10 seconds for it to come around.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Bln?

You can turn that off in bln control/bln control pro
[Nexus S General] derrick_:
Bump, id like a response to this even if it is not helpful...
[Nexus S General] debh945:
Yes, it stays on 85 for me regardless of signal strength.
[Nexus S General] bdillon:
What was it, because mine is doing the same thing as yours. Showing 128 of 344 used.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Mine also... Never use that but just checked and sure enough.
[Nexus S General] snooogins:
Just throwin' it out, as other people have commented...

<3 the deck rom - only rom I will be using until I upgrade my phone (and hopefully then I can get the same one as deck :) )...

..but... I have read with the matrix kernel and deck that battery life is supposed to be amazing.

Is that stock - because I am currently NOT experiencing sweet battery life..
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
been running this ROM for a few days now. definitely notice my battery life getting stretched a little more coming off CM7 nightlies. I've also only had my Nexus for about a month so maybe my battery is finally settling in. regardless, everything's been smooth and mostly flawless. looking forward to more updates!
[Nexus S General] ehiggins:
Does anyone else's photos get turned upside down when you send them as a MMS?
[Nexus S General] njonas01:
Mine does this. But I think it's more of a phone issue. Cause I experienced this on Miui as well.
[Nexus S General] HareyCarey:
Mine turn sideways. It did this on Stock Rooted ROM, Oxygen 2.1.6 and Deck's 1.3b
[Nexus S General] bdillon:
I flashed this ROM but my phone keeps telling me there's an update. Anyone know how to get rid of it? I already renamed the otacerts file to .bak.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
just my luck I carefully wrapped my girls epic in tin foil and let it sit on my dash to force the thrid exchange and now just waiting for nexus s to come into our store
[Nexus S General] wrceuro:
What kernel do you guys recommend for the best battery life? My battery is dropping as I look at it.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Quite a few ppl are running Matr1x v5.5. That's what I run and get a full days use with heavy to moderate use. Results very though.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Yeah, Matr1x seems to be the best. Moderate use will get you a full day pretty easy. What I consider heavy use will drain any phone in 6 hours or so
[Nexus S General] wrceuro:
BFS or CFS and what exactly are they?

Sorry I just don't know.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Don't quote me on this ok.

BFS= helps the app your in

CFS= is overall

Heck look in the matr1x thread and he answered it fully.
[Nexus S General] HareyCarey:
Sort of. You're on the right track.

CFS is Completely Fair Scheduler. Does exactly as it sounds: gives each process equal attention and tasking by the CPU.

BFS is Brain F*ck Scheduler(designed by Con Kolivas, I believe). This scheduler focuses on one or two applications at a time and gives them the most CPU attention. BFS is not as great at multi-tasking(for obvious reasons).

A quick Google search should give you guys more info on it. I'm no expert. Average users will find CFS easier to deal with, in my opinion. I use BFS but I don't keep a lot of things going on at once e.g. Facebook, twitter, etc.

That said: I use Trinity TUV11 and switch between that and Matr1x v5.5. Netarchy is also a very well respected kernel. Those are my three favorites. I get great battery life and super fast and smooth interface with the new TUV11, I am on day two and have had great experience. Matr1x v5.5 is very very solid. Netarchy 1.3.9 is out and it is very solid as well.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
It depends how much you use the phone. Trinity TUV11 looks like it's getting phenomenal life on standby. (It's in the Nexus S Dev forum. You might have to do a warm reboot to get the radio working on the ns4g. And 4g doesn't seem to work on it.) If you use the phone a lot, matr1x cfs might be better, and it seems more solid on the ns4g. The display is the biggest killer is you use it a lot. These backlight settings seem adequate to me, but I might go even lower.
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Picking up my Sprint Nexus-S 4G tonight, will root it, and want a more stock looking ROM, that makes the phone faster/smoother than stock with the pull down menu widgets, but also use the phone a lot, so need good battery life too. Plus I want a cool black and white minimalistic theme too.

Looking around I have decided between these two ROM's;

I get a bootloop with Matr1x 5.5 on the latest version of this ROM.
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
I ran this Rom with Matrix cfs 5.5 with no issues for a week. Did you do a full wipe beforehand?
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
There doesn't seem to be a roaming icon. Is there a way to load one?

It's driving me nuts, too. It might be possible in online uat kitchen, but it would be better if someone could submit a fix to the cyanogen project, off of which this is based. Let me know if you figure it out before I do.
[Nexus S General] quietcblongs:
I've wiped a few times and re-flashed, but the 4g toggle in the notification bar just doesn't work for me. I can't turn on 4g with it, and I can't turn it off either when I go into settings first to turn it on. Can anyone else try the 4g toggle?
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
I could be wrong, but I don't think this works on any ROM for the NS4G

Sent from my Transformer
[Nexus S General] PRBajista:
This is a known issue for all cm7 based Roms. I also believe this an issue for all Rome because the 4g technology for android was made by HTC which all android 4g phones use & of course HTC isn't releasing the code for it. That's why it doesn't work on any rom. I read that somewhere on this site.
[Nexus S General] mrkevo3000:
First off great rom Kush, the rom is stable and super fast, battery life is great compared to other android devices, quick question: Does the battery only charge to 95% and why? Also im trying and wanting to use battery calibration by Nema in the market but since it requires the battery to charge to a 100% will it create accurate stats? What about the batterry booster app by Imoblife? Keep up the good work!
[Nexus S General] mister2quick:
I haven't updated to the latest one yet, since I don't want to lose wifi tethering (I use it quite frequently), but I did update the radio and now my reception is absolute crap. 3G is slow (.2 down and up on speed test with full bars if I get them) and wifi is even worse. Is the new radio only compatible with 2.3.5? If I do update, will yet break my wifi tether?
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Yes it only charges to 95%. Its the way they built the phone. Its to extend the batteries lifetime. Not sure if it will create accurate stats though.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Yes you will lose the wifi teather built in. But there are free apps for that. I personally like pdanet. And the radio might not work as well if not on 2.3.5
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
If I go back back and flash 1.2.1, will it also overwrite the new radio I flashed? I never had a problem with the last version, and this one freezes and rebooted on me a couple times a week. The new radio has not helped my signal at all, although mine was decent to begin with, or wifi signal, which is what I was hoping for. So, can I just flash the last version and go back to the nice, stable old version?
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
And, wifi tether is still active on the 2.3.5 version of this ROM

Sent from my Transformer
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
Misunderstood that. On this rom yes.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
I'm just assuming he means this ROM because he posted in this thread. I could be wrong.

It won't overwrite the ke5 radio when flashing back to a 234 rom.

Anyone having any problem with the GPS with this ROM?

I was using CM7 and had no problems with GPS when running and using MyTracks and Google Maps Navigation. Since I flashed this ROM, it won't keep the signal for more than a few minutes and can't reconnect until I restart the GPS or the phone, and then it dies again a few minutes later.

Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] vertigosrs:
Hmm I've been using this rom since the update and i've never lost gps signal.
[Nexus S General] kgorczyn:
What kernel are you using? I'm using Matrix 5.5 FWIW.
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
I'm running that kernel too and have never dropped gps

Sent from my Transformer
[Nexus S General] kgorczyn:
Hmmm....

Is there a WiFi/GPS Sleep policy setting somewhere? Looking at it, it seems to drop when the screen turns off and the phone has been sitting not touched for a while. That's usually when my WiFi disconnects too, then reconnects (with white bars) a few seconds after the screen turns on.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
I know there is for wifi. Settings/networks/wifi settings, then click menu and there is the sleep policy.
[Nexus S General] kgorczyn:
Thank You! It was set to sleep when screen was off, and I bet that's what the GPS was doing. As soon as I set it to never sleep, MyTracks started tracking again. Lets see if it lasts.
[Nexus S General] bigtoysrock:
I bet it as something to do with using wifi to held get a better fix on gps. You could try using the gps only and uncheck wifi in location and security. Then change the wifi sleep back and see if it still does it.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Here's the roaming icon back. ;)

Flash in recovery.
[Nexus S General] vertigosrs:

[Nexus S General] vertigosrs:

[Nexus S General] kgorczyn:
Well, I have to report that I still have the same GPS issues.

-GPS works until the screen turns off

-To get GPS to work again, I have to reboot the phone. Toggle doesn't respond. Even if i turn off the GPS, I still see in the status bar that it's still on, just not working.

-Rinse and repeat, screen goes off, so does the GPS.

-Same behavior in every app that uses GPS.

GPS works fine on stock ROM and CM7. Although CM7 gave me randomn reboots and I was sick of it. Not one reboot with this ROM yet!

Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] crzycrkr:
Sorry, can't help you, but I'm going to do a full wipe/factory reset and reflash everything. I'm getting random freezes, random rebooted, my signal jumps and drops, and my wifi is horrible now. Going to try that, and if I still have the same problems, I'm going back to the last version and old radio which were rock solid for me.
