We must partition the NAND agian,and doing that will lose all the data..May be can not turn on agian..

Or developers have other method :)

DHD actually has 1.14G for user data, but we only can use 0.95G~1.05G...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
As you may know by now I've been having problems with GPS on my Nexus S (i9023, bought factory unlocked from Amazon Germany, carrier code EUR, running rooted stock 2.3.4 AKA GRJ22). A quick search of the Nexus S forums will tell you that I'm not the only one who complains about GPS issues - I always assumed that the GPS was just sub-par on the model and I'd have to live with it.

Only now a few helpful souls over in the accessories section said it was probably defective and I should exchange it. (I've already exchanged it once for this and the new unit I got performed exactly the same.) So I'm just going to tell you the current situation and I'm hoping you'll tell me if that's within the normal tolerances for the model: [All tests done outside in suburbia]

"Network location" (geolocation, wifi / cell triangulation) is fine since 2.3.4 [just to get that out of the way]

Time to First Fix (TtFF) is decent now, usually 15-30 s cold and < 15 s hot. I've seen much better (yes, on a phone), but that doesn't bother me.

Accuracy however, is still bad. GPS Status shows 20-10 m mostly, but it fluctuates wildly going from 5 to 30 in a heartbeat even when it's just stationary. Other phones don't show this behavior. This translates into real-world problems in Maps (checked via sat view): The blue circle goes from large to enormous and back and while my true position is somewhere within the circle most of the time, the center dot is way off. Most other implementations manage to guess the location correctly even when the accuracy is bad (as tested side-by-side).

Stability is my biggest concern. The lock'll be fine for a few minutes, especially if the phone was just rebooted, but then the GPS will lose it every few (say 5-10) seconds and take time to reacquire it. Additionally, it doesn't pick up movement very well. I did a few tests watching my position in Maps while on the tram (in a window seat) and basically it would register an (approximately correct) location every now and then but then just hang there for a while. Usually it wouldn't register that the tram had left a stop before it had arrived at the next one or even just left it again. All other phones trace the tracks almost perfectly and in real time. There goes any kind of usable navigation and - in concert with the compass issues - all augmented reality apps. :(

Again, this isn't meant as a complaint or even a request for a fix (though if you have one I'll gladly take it) - I'd only like to gauge if my particular phone's have been bad or if "that just how it is".

Thanks for listening.

I have a nexus s4g from sprint and my gps was working great and then one day it just stopped. I can never pick up a signal and if out does it takes about five minutes our more. I have a gps radar app that shows me signal strengths and stuff and our barely picks up give signals and they are always really weak I have to refresh the agps status all the time to even get a lock and like I said it still takes about gives minutes or more if it even locks at all. I am looking for a fix my epic had the same problems and then with the latest update for it, it was amazing and fast accurate locks. And help with the nexus s4g would be great

In other news, I'd really appreciate some on-topic replys ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
I even think my GPS is the worst of all the Nexus S. :D

Mine was bought from Ebay-UK and since it was on a repairing-tour to samsung germany i know its from CPW. Its a I9020 not I9023. BTW there was nothing repaired because they said "The discribed issue cannot be found" or something like that..

what do you mean with compass does not work for anyone?? does it really not work on any nexus? thats interesting, isn't it a little bit illegal to sell a device and say it has compass and than compass does not work at all?

mh sounds like this will not work for GSM-Nexus :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
the GPS on my NS behaves similar (but better) to what you describe in the first post but overall it seems to have better accuracy and stability.

Have you tried recording a track while in a car? The results should be better. At least with mine it's mostly accurate and rarely looses signal (unless you go under a bridge/tunnel)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volta:
Hello,

I have the same phone, NS4G from Sprint, and the same symptoms. The GPS worked fine for a week or so, and now I'm lucky to get it to work at all. Sometimes I can get a lock after 5+ minutes (while not moving), but other times it never occurs.

I just tried resetting the GPS as is described in the post above. It says "it will reboot automatically" - does that mean the phone or the radio?

In any case I just pulled my device battery after GPS reset - I'll post back with results in a few minutes. In the meantime can you explain what you did after following the reset with dialpad/MSL?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bex:
Also attempted return...had to send in for repair

I also got a bad GPS Nexus S i9020 from Amazon.com USA site. The GPS would not lock without a wifi signal. I eventually caved in trying to get it working with rom flashes, drove me nutz, but tried to return for cash and missed the date. Had to send in to Samsung then and get the repair. I have been somewhat satisfied, having gone from no GPS to finally getting it to lock, but its a poor excuse for a gps chipset. The SiRFSTAR from my old WinMo days kicks this gps in the arse.

I also get the bouncing sensitivity and wandering location circle, but accuracy hovers around 5-10m now, but the location is never fixed solid, its wobbly, even outside with clear skies above. The compass is another huge weak spot. Samsung dropped the ball on this device, I wish I could return mine and grab an HTC unit. Google should learn from this and drop them for the Nexus Prime. I think this is unacceptable as location services are whats hot now and this device fails as a flagship product.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
I like the gps on my sgs2 more (it has a sirfstar IV) but, i have to say, it's not that much better.

What i gained in stability i lost in TTL. Sometimes you need one more than the other.

The SGS2 has taken me up to 10 minutes to get a lock and if conditions aren't good (cloudy sky, tall buildings) it can easily take 5 minutes. Sometimes you just want to get some signal to get you going.

I did a trip of more than 2000 miles with my Nexus S, using the GPS most of the time, and it worked ok enough for navigation for most of the time. The only times it failed me were, as i mentioned earlier, in old parts of cities with narrow streets.

You are right when you mention HTC, because usually their devices have better working GPS.

Overall i wouldn't say it's a bad device, you have to keep in mind this is not a dedicated GPS device, it's a smartphone that does a lot of things, some better than others, it's still a good developer phone, which i think was the main goal of the Nexus.

After upgrading to the SGS2, the main differences i noticed were not the GPS but the speed and extra memory! The Nexus S is not slow and has average memory (512mb but with only around 380 free) but if you have a lot of apps running (and it's easy for this to happen) it will get sluggish and begin to close the launcher when you start a heavier app. I found this had a lot more impact on usability than the GPS weakness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc50won:
Looking forward to dumping my iPhone and upgrading to the SGII when it finally arrives at AT&T or T-Mobile. The calendar update to MobileMe was the end for me.

1. Can email work with more than one Exchange account?

2. Can incoming mail show up in one central Inbox or will it show up in multiple Inboxes?

3. Is Cut-Copy-Paste fully implemented in email and other apps?

I know these are NOOB type questions but before I plunk down the big $ these are the things that are critical for me.

Thanks for your help!

The three-minute video captured on Narces Benoit’s HTC EVO phone begins as officers crowd around the east side of Herisse’s car with guns drawn. Roughly 15 seconds into the video, officers open fire.

Benoit said the officers eventually uncuffed him after gunshots rang out elsewhere and he discreetly removed the SIM card and placed it in his mouth.

have you experianced any issues thus far? with the infused rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Easiest and quickest way possible to probably install this rom, is Odin flash the refused rom because that has root and modded e3 recovery in it, once in that rom, you can download "rom manager" from the market, flash the Galaxy S i9000 clockwork recovery, download gtg465x infused rom and flash. Done :)

do i do this all on my phone? or do i need my computer as well ?

Not at all it smother then stock I think, and it uses a black theme witch responds better with Super AMOLED screens. Plus its just cleaner then stock also.

You need both.

Odin flashes are from your computer, but clockwork mod flashes, you only need your phone

so just read up on swap and had a couple more questions. i understand that it changes the way your phone handles the ram different apps use but still not understanding the specifics. if someone could clear that up it would be wonderful :D also will this affect battery life at all? and last question will this work on the kernel that comes with das bamf remix 1.6.3?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastibeta:
It turns a set amount of your sd card memory into ram essentially, and the less frequently accessed files are written to the sdcard swap partition instead of the ram, essentially freeing up the ram for the more frequently read and written data. I didnt notice any effect on battery life, and i guess the only way it would...was if it drew more power to write to sd...i believe you need to use a kernel with swap enabled like the one by imoseyon

For windows users, swap is like your page file (just better managed). I see very little ever use swap on android though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
First off love your signature :P and after reading some more it is definitely on emmc. which is fine cuz the thunderbolt has like what 16gb of it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbledsoe:
There are also whispers going about that doing this "could" stress the emmc too much and cause your phone to an hero itself. The emmc is also possibly the leading culprit in the GB reboot of doom. Too lazy to point to source but seen this about the forums.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
Truthfully I don't understand why people are putting their phones through this. EMMC is limited to how many times you can write to it. Just like a SSD drive. The first thing people do with SSD's is to either disable the swap file (page file) or move it to another drive. Putting a swap file on your EMMC is just killing the life of your EMMC even sooner. People say that you'll never kill your EMMC chip within the lifetime of your phone. But the fact is, no one knows how many writes your EMMC chip will take before degradation occurs. It's all up to the user though. Just wish people would do some research and fully understand the technology within their phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazman19:
+1....Adreylane himself declared that he would not create swap on the EEMC. If he does not recommend it, I am not doing it.

I would like to, however, figure how people have so much RAM remaining on their phones safely. I only get about 120/600 free 98% of the times without having to constantly close out tasks. People in the dev forum are reporting they have had 300-400 free on Froyo. We all know GB takes more but I am on Froyo still and only have seen my aforementioned numbers.

[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
I'd love to know how this works. Anyone else already have this battery?
[Motorola Droid X2] majorcovert:
I would not do this. The Droid X2 and Droid X require certain types of batteries and covers to work properly.

Somehow Motorola made it so the BH5X and BH6X (Extended Battery) are the only ones that seem to properly register with battery metering. Look at the Droid X forums and you'll find tons of people that are having problems with extended batteries that aren't the BH5X and BH6X.

Also the BH6X extended battery comes with a new cover that raises the backing plate up just a little bit. If you use the one that comes with the phone it will push the battery against the back of the screen and create a ghosting effect when you touch the screen. You will also notice that the battery cover that comes with the phone says only to use with the BH5X battery.

The backing plate however only raises the back about 1.5mm which does no effect the phones use in docks and most cases (including hard cases).
