[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwalt2:
Since I've never used a Thunderbolt, you'll have to take the following with a grain of salt. First, Verizon's coverage is much better than Sprint's coverage. Sprint's 'nationwide' coverage has next to no native coverage in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nevada. Other areas are more sparse than Verizon as well. However, Sprint has free roaming with 3G speeds (assuming Verizon has 3G in that area). You won't get Sprint services like Sprint Navigation, TV, etc. while roaming (at least I don't think you do).

I had the nexus s 4g for about a month, but ultimately returned it. The only reason I returned it was that I did not have a signal at my workplace. My previous phones have all had pretty poor signal at my work, but the nexus was a just a little worse (enough that it wouldn't receive the majority of calls/text, whereas my older phones would get most of them). The coverage is bad there since it's basically a concrete block and I had no problems anywhere else with the nexus s. The minor things were creaky battery cover (probably just on mine and could have been fixed with a new cover) and no led notification light.

The things I liked were good battery life (even with poor signal at my work), standard google with no sprint branding at all, native hotspot feature works like google intended it to work, the size was really nice, amoled screen looked very good, and the phone was very fast in everything I did. It was also very easy to root and get superuser on (other than needing to move some of the tools in android sdk from 'platform-tools' to 'tools').

They're making a radio update. Should've waited.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:
The only thing you might miss is Verizons network. Me and mikeyinid both switched from the Thunderbolt and I can personally say it was the best decision I have made.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr313:
O ok. How much better of a phone is it than the TB? I do worry bout the coverage i travel a lot throughout MI and other states as well i drive a truck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Look up the sprint map about coverage in the other hand I'll go with the nexus man stock android blows out of the water in speed , I had an evo (thunderbolt brother , practicly with a few updates ) LTE is great tho (where it works )

Ok so I had and Evo with CM7 stable but still some how had bugs , on nexus s I don't have any bugs and I don't even miss 720 p video recording , and I'm happy that I'm getting upsates straight from google , the evo got gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 is out and I bet that's probably the last update for evo so not gtalk video chat ... btw I'm in las vegas and I switch from verizon to sprint cheaper service and in my already better service most of the time

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Like mbh87 said, we both came to the NS4G from the Bolt, and while I do miss the awesome service, the Nexus makes it worth it. I have no regrets switching. If your running CM on your bolt then the switch is a no brainer :) Not to mention your gonna save money with sprint. Don't let them talk you into a big plan. The 69 + 10 dollar for wimax is unlimited mobile to mobile on any network... Very good deal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:
Not to mention Sprint gives discount for almost everything. Check with your employer, bank, etc. I get 10% for being a credit union member, not much but its better than nothing and it got me free activation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwalt2:
If it really improves the signal, I'll just buy it again ;). I didn't have to pay a restocking fee, so I'm not out anything other than my time spent going to the Sprint store. I'll wait until the Evo 3D and/or the update gets released to make up my mind.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Yup I get 25% because I told them the verizon were giving me that (they were doing 19% ) , so the guy get me 25 % lol

hey, i was just wondering, do you have a link to that info? i haven't heard of anything about it, but would be awesome if they did.

to the op, verizon's always gonna have better general coverage than sprint, but if your area has good sprint coverage then it shouldnt really be a problem. also sprint is always gonna be generally cheaper than verizon (not to mention they'll give you a $125 bill credit if you port your verizon number over to the nexus before the end of this month).

As far as the nexus s 4g goes, man its smooth like butter the combination of hardware/software has given me almost zero lag in the UI. but your best bet is to just go test it out at the store.

and the nexus 3, shoot thats a tough call. i was gonna wait for it and not get the ns4g on contract, but im such a big fan of the nexus that im just gonna buy the nexus 3 outright when it comes out and sell this one or possibly keep both (i love it that much).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr313:
Thanks for all the info guys! and im goin to be gettn my nexus s 4g SOON as i get rid of this bolt, yous swayed me with all the good reviews! then i took the advice of goin to play with it hands on and man its crazy smooth and fast and thats even without bn rooted and oc'd, man i can only imagine. thank you all for bn cool enuff to help a brotha out, i shall be hangn out with yous very soon.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
Don't buy the Evo3d btw.

Wait for the nexus 3.

The main advantages the nexus s has over the thunderbolt is the cpu and gpu, and screen of course.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Well let us know when you get it and if you got the thunderbolt rooted it will be a piece of cake to do this one :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irev210:
Well considering sprint has the largest voice coverage in the US, switching to Sprint isn't a bad way to go if you are looking for good voice coverage.

Verizon has better 3G coverage though, and better 4G coverage.

Overall, my only issue with the nexus s 4g (vs. my old evo) is the wifi antenna is not as good. While the bars jump around much more than the evo, I get similar performance/coverage.

If fast data speeds are very important to you, verizon is probably a better bet. If you just need data connection to grab emails, use google navigation, etc, sprint works great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00kienrayray:
Where I'm at, I'm getting 300-500kbps down on 3g, which isn't good, but its good enough to browse and do more than just email and stuff. Streaming music is bearable, but video on the other hand sucks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
The sucks man I guess I got good coverage then I get 500kbps sometimes but most of the times I get 1-2 mbps download

Upload sucks tho

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
I came from the EVO which is very similar to the TBolt and I too do not regret it one bit. I bought the phone outright on Ebay and paid $450 for it. The price has come down since then and I still don't regret my decision one bit. Verizon has better 3G and 4G coverage and speeds, but Sprints works good especially if you are in a spot where you have a strong signal. The NS4G is the fastest phone I have ever used. My brother has an Iphone 4 and said he likes it better than Android phones because they all seem to lag. I showed him my NS4G and let him play around with it and it changed his mind about Android. I rooted mine and installed CM7 nightly's as soon as they became available and I also run Netarchy's CFS Kernel and OC to 1200 and this phone fly's. It out performs the EVO in every aspect. There are a lot of threads in the EVO section about why switch to NS4G when processor is the same speed and blah blah blah, but the hardware and software mix on the Nexus is perfect for Gingerbread and this thing just runs so smooth. It is a couple easy terminal or command prompt entries to unlock the bootloader and root which makes it even better.

I could go on and on but I think you get my point about how much more I love this phone than my EVO(which I do still like the EVO too).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowmanwithahat:
If you are in an area with verizon 4g just keep the thunderbolt. The nexus s is great, but you have to be realistic and the reality if it is that verizon has much better 4g

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmall:
I wouldn't buy a top of the line Samsung LED TV loaded with specs if there wasn't any decent HD service where I live. Same applies to cell phones. What's the best compatible phone on the best carrier where you spend most of your time?

My experience with sprint data service in NY was bad. It was reliable, but slow.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
I get 1-2 bars at my house but I don't have any dropped calls and data works fine, so I think give aweek and if doesn't change talk to a sprint representative and maybe return the phone

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lexuality:
I'm a bit of a noob at this.. I just received this phone from my brother, bidding that if I can get the WIFI to work on this phone, I can have it.

However, I am clueless.. This is why I figured I'd run back to xda for some help.

It is currently running on the follow:

Android 2.3.4

Radio: 2.15.50.14

Build: NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 NAND

Everything BUT the wifi works - I can't even ADD a network onto it.

Would I have to re-install a new build? Or is there something I can do to the phone that will fix this?

(Note: I'm an iPhone user using this phone, this phone came WITH the android OS on it. Mind that I have no idea how to flash anything so please be patient with me if I ask you a ton of questions!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
if the phone has clockworkmod recovery then you can try to fix permissions , but if it doesn't then you will have to reinstall/reflash it, but if you want my opinion you should start from scratch.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnackattack:
I have no idea how this happened, but basically my XOOM has spontaneously broken itself. I was using it like normal, just watching some videos over TVersity and I noticed it started running a little slow. So I restarted it and it never got past the boot animation and hasn't since.

I figured I would try a factory reset under Recovery, but it won't work because it can't even find the internal sdcard. I can't mount the sdcard, I can't wipe it, I can't do anything with it.

I'm hoping someone here might know what to do? Or if not, how can I remove all traces of ClockworkMod Recovery so I can exchange it without them claiming I somehow broke it?

Could reflashing the boot and recovery with the stock images possibly fix this problem, or are they also kept on the internal sdcard and therefore untouchable while the XOOM is in this state?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flombs:
If your pc can recognise your xoom and connect, you can flash the official images from Moto and recover your xoom with adb, unlike me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108505

But then again, you may not need to go this far. Perhaps just hang around until someone with much more knowledge can help you.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] nightwulf:
Good question since my Skinomi is in shipment. I thought about trying those "electronic equipment wipes" you can buy everywhere that come individually packaged like alcohol wipes.

If that doesn't work, I'm open to suggestions too.

Its Glass so Maybe a Type of Glass cleaner and a micro Fiber Towel. Spray the towel not the tablet of course. If not They have Electronic wipes like at target and best buy in tv sections.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] X7og:
lil tip for instal. clean and prep nicely. do the install in your bathroom with steam in the air to keep the lint and dust from the air. and dont panic if it looks like crap right after. leave it for a solid day or 2 then it will look good. even if you have some lint under the skinomi it will strt to look alright after the first day. at least it did with mine. i thought i had messed mine up but it looks quite nice now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Anonnie:
You can use LCD cleaning solution on the screen with a very soft lint-free cloth.

I've used it for years before I apply anything on my screens and it works perfectly.

You only use 1-2 sprays max at about 12 inches away.

Compusa/Staples/etc all normal stores have it.

When I put the back on my Skinomi, I used a light detergent (the size of a pea) and a damp cloth to clean the back surface down, then used the cleaning solution, dried it, and the sticker adhered without a single edge lifting up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
just mix some alcohol in some water and use that... use less than 50% alcohol in the solution.... same stuff as most lcd cleaners.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I assume you meant an LCD cleaner. I think glass cleaner like Windex could be too harsh for a tablet screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hybridau:
I use a microfibre cloth, and it works really well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MisterEdF:
I have a whole bunch of those and all they seem to do is smear it even worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
It's not really a tablet screen - it's a sheet of some of the most durable glass currently made by man... it should be fine with any cleaning solution really. The LCD solutions are simply formulated to avoid harming the PLASTIC sheet over most LCD devices (i.e. TV's, laptops, etc.) since stuff like alcohol can cause some plastics to get cloudy over time.

The Transformer doesn't have a plastic sheet over its screen, just the Gorilla Glass, so use whatever as long as it's not so wet as to drip into the system.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Curtisbeef:
Some glass screens have a oleophobic coating to repel oils. Some chemicals can remove those coatings. I'm not sure if the transformer has this coating but I just use 30% alcohol then a microfiber cloth. That's been working fine.

The company for which I work for received samples of Rubbermaid Glass and Mirror cloths at one point last year, and I took one for my electronic devices. They are excellent cleaning cloths - I use them on both my phone and my Transformer without any cleaning solution at all. It removes fingerprints and smudges so well without scratching or leaving any residue of any kind. They are washable and they're quite large - excellent for the large screen. I've used the same one for about 10 months and it still cleans as if it were new.

I was able to find the product here:

http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?Prod_ID=RP091506 but it does not appear you can purchase from the Rubbermaid website.

There are a few websites if you google the product you could potentially purchase them.

Rainx on gorilla screen

I posted on another thread that someone applies rainx on the screen to eliminate finger prints and feels much more smooth when it toughs.

This's what he says:

"thought i would post this in case it helps anybody - the smudges on the screen were driving me crazy i put rainx on the screen just now and it works great no fingerprints when you touch the screen and it also feels much more smooth"

I haven't tried it yet but I was wondering that since the rainx has an antifreeze compound, whether if it's safe to use it on the gorilla glass for the long run?

One member replies that "I use it and have done for a while. It's fine".

What do you guy think?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] UKseagull:
The best thing I've ever used is a mixture of household vinegar and water, 10% vinegar to water. Dampen a microfibre cloth and gently rub in a circular motion, use a dry bit of the cloth to remove. It cuts through grease etc and doesn't leave marks. Great on glass, LCD TV screens & monitors and such like. There's absolutely no need to waste money on buying screen cleaning kits.

Try it! :)
