cool.. i hope i like it.. my luck the nexus 3 will be out a month after i get the s..
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Is that from it.having more mp's cause the nexus takes better pictures.....the evo can shoot highly compressed unwatchable hd at 720p though to
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I think Sprint will get the 3 by Christmas. I'm holding out for that!
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Lmao ha ha Xmas? Lol
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
STILL FREAKING WAITING!!!! OMFG!!!! i hate this...
[Nexus S General] splmonster:
That depends if they sign a deal to carry it on release. That is the rumored release for it, however to say Sprint will get it right off the bat is a reach. They may not..
[Nexus S General] ryno502:
I just upgraded from the Epic on Sunday. I LOVE my NS4G! I used my partial upgrade and got the Best Buy insurance / Buy Back plan (for when/if the Nexus 3 comes out). I also ordered my Seidio Surface case on Amazon today.

Not having any signal issues by the way. My data speeds are much better than on my old Epic.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Signal issues to me is sprint I do sometimes have bad signals and sometimes good ones, it depends I just run 2 tests and this is what I cane out with

Upload speeds are bad tho
[Nexus S General] ryno502:
I agree. Its interesting really. When I first got my Epic I was getting about 4/5 at home and 1/2 bars at work. But recently my signal at home dropped SIGNIFICANTLY (was getting 0/1 bar on my Epic before I sold it). I was often times roaming in certain parts of my house. Now I get about 1/2 bars at home on my Nexy, and I get a solid 3 or 4 bars at work. 3G data speeds are really solid.

It makes me wonder if Sprint is making some changes to their network. I know they are slowly installing 4G in my city (Louisville, Kentucky).

Does anyone know of a good site that shows a map of all Sprint towers and their status?
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
ITS HERE!!! activating now.
[Nexus S General] ryno502:
Nice! Congrats.

Let us know if you have any issues. I've had absolutely zero problems with mine so far (got it Sunday).
[Nexus S General] ZeroCool84:
WOW those are nice 3G speeds. I've only gotten those speeds on 4G.
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
holy crap!! i got a 2102 on quadrant!
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
what rom are you guys on??
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
You can worry about ROM's later. Stock AOSP is good for now.

What you should do first is flash Trinity or Netarchy kernels and OC!

Get your bootloader unlocked???
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
already done.. :>
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
this is what ive got so far:

Yeah there 3g that's y I don't use 4g they like 4-5mbps in Las Vegas but latency is much higher and battery life in android is not the best with 4G is worse
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
so i re-flashed with this:

[Nexus S General] DarkManX4lf:
Pathetic :-)
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
So i charged it all night. This morning it said only 94% anyone know whats up?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] tatwamasi:
Nexus S charges to 100% then discharges to 90% then charges up to 100% and so on, it's to protect the battery from overcharging.

Please tell someone else who asks this question, everyone wonders about it at first!
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
no problem.. and thanks..
[Nexus S General] slackwaresupport:
what kernel are you on??
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Yeah for some reason they Dont charge up to 100% like the evo which I think is weird but anyways mine does 94% too
[Nexus S General] DarkManX4lf:
That was a score of 2947 btw. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

I am using netarchy's latest kernel v1.3.4.
[Nexus S General] cyaiphone:
I too just activated my NS4G! I got it for $99 through Amazon! I'm going to miss my EVO but so far in the first couple hours that i've had this phone I love it! AOSP Rocks! NO more crap running in the background on it's own. No more bloatware. Phone seems very fast! I'm interested in the battery life but i already have an extra battery on it's way! I really like this phone so far. I just need to find a way to root. I rooted my evo quite easily, but there was a very detailed rooting for dummies thread that made it so easy and simple. I'ver read the guides here and it seems like the people who made them, made it with the assumption people already know everything about the process. #1 thing in teaching is to make sure everyone at every level understands what you are teaching. I'm going to read through them again later on when I have some time.

Glad to be on these forums and look forward to learning about my new phone!
[Nexus S General] cyaiphone:
sounds like the same problem the evo would have by not fully charging to 100%. One way to fix this is to go to ebay and find a cheap external battery charger. You'll battery will get a full charge every time.
[Nexus S General] fatimusprime:
Im in the same boat as you.

I upgraded from my Evo yesterday with some doubt in my mind that it was not necessarily needed. After 12-15 hours with it, I have to say, it may not seem like much of an upgrade at first but the NS4G runs circles around the Evo. Stock Android is always better.

Anyway, I used this guide to root my NS4G last night with little issue, just follow the instructions line by line and you should be fine.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

Edit: I went with the Odexed version because I want it to be as stock as possible. I did have to install PDANet to get the ADB drivers to work right, but it was 5 minute side track. Also make sure you have the sdk installed and the clockwork image in the tools folder.
[Nexus S General] cyaiphone:
so there's different versions of root? Is there a benefit to one over the other? I'll have to read through the thread tonight, thanks!
[Nexus S General] fatimusprime:
Its not really a root difference. Deodex is easier to theme and modify with a down side of maybe a less snappier interface.
[Nexus S General] ahop420:
The good and the bad

I upgraded from the Zio. Yes, I know. The Zio is the worst android phone ever developed. I love this phone. I originally wanted to go with the Evo but when I got to the Sprint store and saw the Nexus I had to play with it. I really enjoyed how it felt and handled. In my opinion, the camera on the nexus is a bit better. I just wish it had an HDMI out. I DO, however, have the signal issue and I am hoping I can trade mine in and get a new one that hopefully will not. I am still on my first week with it. At home, I am connected to wifi so it's not an issue there. I always have enough signal to make and receive calls. It just affects my browsing and download speeds while I am out. A co-worker has a sprint phone and he gets great signal and 4G everywhere he goes here in Denver, so I am guessing it's because I got a bunk one. Phone is great though. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to go android or upgrade to another phone.

PS - Just broke my XDA forum cherry.

You guys have been so helpful I'll ask here too.

What forum would be correct for the Optimus C? I don't see it explicitly listed anywhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Your phone is actually the seventh entry in the Optimus line by LG. The Optimus that is most identical, by looks, is the Optimus M. However, internally it matches the Optimus M, V, S, T, U, and Vortex. That said, the forum for the LG Optimus One, P500, V would be the forum you would need for all development for your phone. Happy hunting.

[Galaxy S II General] budco2000:
I bought the SGS2 because of dual core processor and the amount of on-board RAM. I usually get new phone every 6 months, buying this phone will probably keep me satisfied for at least a year. I'm a technology junkie and think NFC is going to be a great thing, so I was excited when the online salesman assured me that it had the option. After doing a lot of reading last night, I was 95% sure my model would not have NFC. It arrived today, and I don't see no NFC option nor do I get any test tags. Oh well, It's not like its super popular yet anyway. Maybe all SGS3's will have the option and I'll get it then. I'm not going to return the phone because the salesman was wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
They're all UK phones. There are ten times more Brit's on this forum then Yank's. Don't you think they'd know before we in the U.S. would if Samsung started shipping UK phones with NFC?

[Droid X General] Rwood1020:
So recently my X lost it's lock screen, I was running Broodcomb 4 and everything was running fine and then all the sudden I no longer had a lock screen. It also seems like my home button is not working.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had any similar issues or could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thescream80:
Can I get some advise please? First let me state I am not a very tech or software savvy person. My wife and I are finally getting a sprint smartphone ( we have the rumor and rant now ) My goal is to root the phone for 2 reasons – 1. Wifi hotspot and 2. Make the battery last longer – if that is even possible - We got an ipad and will use most of our internet experience on that device. With that being said I need some advise on which phone I should get that would at least allow me to get wifi from my phone.

The options are

My wife wants a phone with a keyboard so her options are between:

Samsung Epic™ 4G

HTC EVO Shift™ 4G

My preference is either: unless one of the phones above are better-

HTC EVO™ 4G (BLACK)

Nexus S™ 4G from Google

Wanted an evo 3d but heard that the bootloader (?) is locked and very hard to root.

Really comes down to which phones are better and more importantly which are the easiest to root to get the wifi?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

You can use ODIN to flash a pre-rooted deodexed ROM with just one click. Doesn't get any easier than that. Its also super easy to flash your old phones MEID/ESN to the EPIC, if you don't want to upgrade you plan. Google my sig.

I will google your sig if that will help..... Maybe the 4 phone's I listed are all easy to root? If so that is what I need to know...

This is my first time posting so if I am posting this in the wrong area I am sorry....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prophour:
Look up how to use ODIN for the Samsung Epic 4G. Then check the Epic 4G XDA forum for the rom/tar of your choice and further instructions. Its the easiest phone to manipulate IMHO. Cellphone flashing is not discussed here so u will need to look deeper into the void for answers on that. ESN/MEID numbers are your phones identity on the network. So changing them makes your new phone show up as your old phone. Technically its cloning, but essentially its the same thing as switching SIM cards on a GSM network.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Richard1510:
It really comes down to what you want. All 4 phones can be rooted. Out of the 2 phones for you wife. Does she want a 3.6in screen or 4in screen? The Evo Shift screen is smaller then the Epic. The Epic does have a better display. Does she want HTC or Samsung. Personally I would pick HTC. I'm not a big fan of Samsung. They just don't have the product support that HTC has. Now for your phone. It's kinda the same decision. The Evo has a monster 4.3in screen. The Nexus S is no slouch though. It has a very nice 4in SAMOLED screen. The Nexus S is made by Samsung but supported by Google. Your phone pick is hard to choose from. I like both phones. I think I would choose the Nexus S. Any of the 4 would be a great phone choice.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Onyoursix:
I've rooted all those phones, the Evo is by far the easiest and noob friendly to root using Unrevoked.

See http://www.unrevoked.com/#evo

Hope that helps. I can tell you even if you do decide to wait for the EVO 3D you will most likely be much happier with that device even if it is harder to root and takes a while to learn how. It really is only a matter of time after it is released that some smart dev releases a comprehensive noob friendly guide on how to root it. I've had all those devices except the Galaxy S, my work buys me any sprint phone that I want when I want, its pretty nice. But so far I've been the happiest with the Evo and Evo shift. Evo is super easy to root and a great device! I would go with that one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] matsonfamily:
This morning (2011may27-0700 PST [pacific]), I received my 1st ever update from T-Mobile for my Galaxy S 4G. It told me "Congratulations," you have an update! or something like that, then told me I wouldn't be able to use the phone for 10min, I said OK, it rebooted into a white screen, applied an update (with progress bar), and said "Update is Failed", and rebooted. Upon reboot, I have a "low on space" notification and it stays up there in the menu bar, above. I don't have any extra apps, and don't know what to do.

Can someone walk me through finding where the space is suddenly used up? I'm really going to need some hand-holding on this. Thanks

Can someone tell me how to apply the update? If I go to "Settings" -> "Software update", it says "no firmware". As far as PC's go, I use Linux, btw

Has this update worked for others? What does it update you to? 2.3.x ?

I originally posted this in the wrong forum (Vibrant forum... my old phone), and I think the answer to #3 is that it updates to KD1. Thanks, ahead of time. :)

sorry the update failed, you'll need to look around the forums for a fix. if you tried the update while rooted and/or having messed with fota files or the system in any other way, it would explain why it failed.

good luck.

there are two other threads in here about the same thing.

I'm very interested in this comment as well, the exact same thing happen to me, I figured I couldn't download the update because I rooted my phone and have titanium backup, I moved what I can to sd and deleted what I thought was safe from internal. yet the space seems to still show as used on the internal.

Thanks, nodrogkam

I checked your link that confirms my comment (that this is an update to KD1), and am currently trying to install the Mini Kies, from the T-Mobile link. What is a fota file? Also, when you said to look around the forums for a fix, were you referring to my #1 issue (low on internal storage), or for my #2 issue (how to install on Linux)? Either way, it sounds promising that the answer is here somewhere. Thanks

Kies no-go on wine

just in case anyone else wanted to try, Samsung's Windows Kies software is a no-go on the latest WINE. It was worth a shot.

I'm still curious how to find out where that space got used up, and exactly what space it is referring to, though. :)
