[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesum321:
Ya...thats what.Even i dont want to wait because my budget was around 18k, i stretched it to 20k(current price of nexus s in inr)...the budget is so strict that i cant even stretch it to buy sgs i9000(which i dont feel is worth buying when compared to nexus s)...and my requirement is that heavy (gameloft-ish)games should work smoothly ...which i think nexus s with its 1ghz humming bird procc & PowerVR SGX 540 would handle quite well atleast for an year or so ..and plus there is a chance that nexus s will be getting ICS ...so i think i should just buy it now ...and 20k for nexus s is a steal i think ! :) :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Nacho:
The nexus s is an awesome phone for the price now (320 € in Germany). I wouldn't spend almost twice as much for a double core.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Btw, I'm not sure where you're from but in the states when you say 20k that k stands for thousands. So $20,000 is a bit much for the Nexus S. I only paid $200 for mine :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesum321:
i am from india .our currency is inr.so 1$=45inr ...so you see the difference 20k here also means 20,000 so its cheap ....and without any contract!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
Gaming? Nexus S is never your wrong choice. Haha.

You can use Chainfire 3D on Nexus S to play Tegra 2 games,

you can overclock your phone using Trinity 1.576 kernel to maximize your game experience.

What more do you want when the 1.576 kernel give a same quadrant score (or even higher) than duo core phone such as Optimus 2x ang SGSII??

In conclusion, get me to help you when you got your nexus, I will give you all the necessary file/kernel/rom/apps for maximum gaming experience :)

I am a gamer (only when holiday,LOL) with 24 hours charging my phone :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ll_l_x_l_ll:
after personally trying both optimus 2x and atrix for more than 2 weeks each. " brother has atrix and i got optimus 2x from my friend to use it since he doesnt want it " got galaxy s2", i would go for nexus S

the reason is simple. this is all marketing bs. there is nothing that can run on galaxy s2 or atrix or optimus 2x that cant run on nexus S . everything runs perfectly fine on nexus S. no lag. perfectly fine.

the only thing that wont run are the nvidia games. but as far as i know. they are all been ported to other phones.

however. what broke it up was skype. to know that skype was released for video chat only on 4 phones and nexus is one of them. made me note something. i have to get that phone. not because of skype. but because clearly. its a dev platform. when skype tested their video call. they tested it on nexus. even with the mods. skype till now cant run video calls on optimus 2x and tegra. do to the fact tegra cant read some codes. i think mods are looking into it but i dont have high hopes at all. because this is not the first time dev get stuck on something like that. " same code "

if you are talking about dual core phones as galaxy s2. then this is another story.

GS2 is superior phone. there is no doubt about it. better and bigger screen. thinner, faster. but u will also get stuck with 2 things

- google updates... u wont get any till samsung give their blessing

- some problems running some games " again. some issue with reading codes. while this is being sported out by devs here, its still not perfect. "
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ll_l_x_l_ll:
where i can download chainfire 3d ?

also. i dont advise overclocking your phone. it shorten the lfie of your cpu/gpu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rony474:
i would definitely choose the Nexus S .. its a powerful beast ..

1, 1ghz processor is enough for everything

2, gpu 540 - can handle all the games - much stronger than the most used adreno 200 or 205

3, updates directly from google! - how fast your phone is depends also on the OS ..

4,you get comparable scores when you tweak your phone vs dualcores -sometimes even more :)

5,the chipset used in Nexus S has one of the best audio chips used in a device - regarding that Voodoo Sound - it seriously killed my ipod, my Hi-Fi at home .. i just use that ..

6, you want more? you can play 720p MKV on this hardware - you cant do that on most dualcore - coz they miss the hq mkv profile :) - diceplayer

7,skype video calls? here we go :)

8, NFC - the future is already there :)

u know google decided to make "the phone" and when they do one .. they mostly put all the best stuff into it from that "time frame" ..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
Get from market :) Just go to search and type chainfire3D.

There are 2 types, free and pro version :)

Well, I going to change my phone when NExus prime is out, and I gonna sell my nexus S. Haha. I wont protect my phone just to expand it lifespan, I want a maximum enjoy, that's the reason why I choose to buy smartphone. LOL
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesum321:
thanks man ! i will contact you as soon as i get my nexus s , which should be this week (mostly).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesum321:
it plays 720p mkvs smoothly ??? and mostly i will be running my .mp4 rips so i guess that should be supported!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesum321:
i did not know that skype is supported only on 4 phones as of now ...and one is nexus s !!! so nexus s would be really good, because i guess mostly everything is going to work on it ...and if it wont we can make it run ! (using xda's amazing support)!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i did download it. tried to run fruit ninja thd. nothing happened. and yeah i installed chainfire and rebooted the device
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
I agree.

NVIDIA Tegra2 dual core : Video decoder is too bad...Hard to play H.264 High profile.

Snapdragon dual core : Video is not so good but can play 720p MKV using diceplayer.

Exynos dual core : GREAT Video decoder. it can play 1080p High profile.

if you have HDMI-out cable, your phone turn into video player.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rony474:
yes , that should work without problems .. you can use Rockplayer or diceplayer - i prefer Dice .. btw played today a 1,3Gb MKV and my phone loves it + in dice you have also subtitles :)

After using the Nexus S, I remember why I missed my N1 so much. I was planning on moving to a Sensation, but hassle free stock Android is really the way to go. Unlocked the bootloader and rooted in minutes, just great

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atistang:
i was gonna get the nexus s, then i decided to wait for the evo3d(dual core, sd card, more ram, blah blah)

I'm finding myself considering trading it in on a nexus s. the nexus s seems to run smoother and more stable. I think it might be a better choice until the next gen of dual core phones come out

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmore1:
Thanks - excellent review.

In the same boat and about to pull the trigger on NS4G (if by some chance Galaxy S II arrives in 30 days(if at all) and is all I've heard then...).

I know tethering is part of Android architecture and you mentioned you use it stock - are you paying for the service ?

Have read mixed comments on this issue via Sprint.

I understand its available via root, and may root someday, but would like to avoid for now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q711179:
Tethering worked right out of the box. It was a surprise to me to learn this on one of the xda threads, tried it out and it was fine. No charge from Sprint, at least for now, though I have read debates on this possibly changing in the future. Ah, we xda folks love to debate and conjecture.:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmore1:
Cool, pulled the trigger about an hour ago - should be here by Tuesday.

I had rooted by last 2 WM phones for tethering without issue, but Droid is a whole new world for me - after too much research, successfully rooted a Dell Streak while holding my breath. Like to get some stock use out of my NS4G before potentially bricking:o so I'll probably use your review/steps as a guide.

Thanks again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saganomics:
You all have convinced me :)

My last Android experience was the SE X10minime, which was impossible to root and stuff. I was thinking of going with either the Sensation or the SGS2, but I will buy the Nexus S now instead.

One thing; how bad is the battery life? Being a BB user, I am hard to please in the battery life department.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q711179:
Battery life

Initially, battery life was disappointing, but noticed aftrer a week's worth of cycling it was surprisingly improved. Since then, I have been able to easily go 12-16 hours with moderate use and over 24 hours with light use. I use wi-fi when able and only turn on GPS and 4G when I need it, I also take advantage of dimming display unless I am outside.

I had my EVO running quite well for battery use but still kept an eye out for opportunities to charge it, while rarely give the SN much thought on battery level during the day. A big relief for me.

my battery life experience ...pathetic! :(...i got the phone 3 days back and never charged it above 60% i guess....i used it all the time out of excitement ...finally today charged it to 100% ....and it lasted only 5 hrs :o.....5hrs is so less....in those 5 hrs 1 hr say standby.....and for d rest 4 hrs i was usig the phone....playing asphalt 6 , doodle jump, angry birds rio , surfing and yes w-fi was on for say2-3hrs ....i know these all things drain a lot of battery but 5hrs is damn too less......and i used battery indiactor to check my battery usage and i was shocked by the result ....dsplay always uses around 40-45%(i dont think this is normal)....i really hope the battery life to improve after 2-3 charge cycles .
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmore1:
NS4G arrived Monday and I decided to mess with it a few days before activating. Coming from a Rooted/customized Palm treo Pro(physical keyboard, mute/vibrate switch and still best calendar I've found yet) wasn't real comfortable at 1st and had my doubts, but after a few days and some serious tweaking/customizing(by my standards:rolleyes:) finally activated it today and doubt its going back.

Some of the key apps that I've added include: GoLauncherEX(easy set-up, versatile, with many expansion options), Opera Mobile(still may play with browsers, but very customizable and intuitive with consistent loading of pages based on settings(althought I wish you could easily switch between a mobile view and full page without having to access settings)), Pocket Auctions (a must for ebayers), and Calendar Quick Add works great and has made the stock calendar tolerable... for now. Don't have a need to root yet, but I have to type in landscape and not great at it yet - if a much better keyboard exists in the custom ROM world and I don't get any better soon... rooting is inevitable.

As a moderate+ user, have had no issues with battery(Wifi on all day - and again, just activated), and haven't even come close to taxing the processor. Wifi tethering is a breeze to set-up, works great and free without root (although I'm guessing if you use it 24-7, Sprint will have something to say about it). I've noticed the Photon release date(s) is now official, but doubt I'd return my NS4G for it (love the size, freedom to customize, size weight and speed for what I do). I did just read a spy photo/article on the Sprint Galaxy Within on phonedog.com (no release date yet), and am intrigued with the idea of a 4.3" screen in a lighter package and that XDA developers have a leg-up so... time(30 days or less) will tell :)

NOTE: For those who just bought, Sprint contract price just lowered from 149 to 99 - received a $50 credit upon my activation. If you're going to keep - make the call.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mlinarek:
I battled between nexus s and galaxy s, but went with nexus and have never looked back. The customisation, the ability to install everything without issue, the look and feel... I love it.

Nexus S is a winner!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
I am thinking of a new Nexus s. Currently on N1. Do you guys think its a step up from my N1?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
I wouldn't make the switch from N1 to NxS anymore unless your contract is running out and you got to choose now, then I'd prolly go with a SGSII (high subvention) or NxS (otherwise). I'd wait for Nexus 3 atm if you can.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slonn:
Dunno if I'd agree with that. I was on a N1 and upgraded to a NS last Wednesday and have not regretted it for one second. Now, I was lucky to get it for $250 unlocked which is the top price I'd pay for it. But the bigger screen is definitely worth it and I've even got used to the plastic feel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Maybe we're using phones differently.

I'm more of a typical phone user, but I appreciate the features of a smartphone. I don't play games, I don't have apps just for the sake of them existing, if I don't use them a lot, I delete them.

My usage is approx 35% calls, 35% emails/texts, 20% productive apps (navigation, to-do, calender, office reader, feed reader, maps for trains/public transport, etc), 10% music.

I'd trade my NxS for a similar Google phone with qwerty and smaller display (2.8-3.x") any day. If only Motorola Pro was more wide spread here yet :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
The ATT nexus s was out and sells for 100 with contract. I am due for an upgrade. I could go buy a new SGS2 but i am kind of done with paying full price for a phone. I could wait til release of sgs2 but i could always wait for upgrade for one of my parents line. One of the cons of NS that buggs me is data speed. My N1 is 7.2 mbs hsdpa. I know NS use the same but with higher upload speed. I kind of want to know if people seen a speed upgrade from N1 to NS.

I think i will pick one up anyways but i was just wondering.

[Fascinate General] bangdrum:
Just wanted to say thanks to all the devs for all the hard work and the fun you've givin me with customizing my fassy. I'm switching to the Incredible 2 because of the many issues I've had with the missed calls and bad signal. I was offered the phone brand new free of charge with an extended battery for 42$ and a month of free service. I know it may not be as much fun as the fassy because I don't believe its rooted just yet, but right now i need a phone that has the functionality of a phone. So again, thank you all for the awesome roms/themes/tweaks you've offered and I hope i'll be seeing you all again when the S2 comes out.

- Bangdrum
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Wait wait wait. Did you use an upgrade to get the inc2 or they offered it? I'm getting tired of the missed call thing.
[Fascinate General] bangdrum:
no i didnt use an upgrade. this is my 3rd fassy with the same issues. I believe I got extremely lucky.
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Nice. I'm gonna have to try that later. Was the phone brand new or a refurbished? You should've asked for a Charge or anything 4g
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I might end up exchanging my Fascinate too. My first one had an acore force close loop while this second one has had the status bar burned in.
[Fascinate General] bangdrum:
I believe brand new. i was kinda in shock so I didnt really care to ask but he said it has no battery or back cover so he hooked it up with the extended one for 10 bucks off. and as far as the 4g stuff, none of them interest me. :)
[Fascinate General] beenz:
If it did have a battery or cover, it is refurbished. I was thinking of making the jump to the Dinc 2 as well. Am going to wait for some roms to come out first though.

Oh, and it has achieved S-off, but whoever figured out hasn't released how to to it yet.

How does that make you more pro? Doing it that way doesn't give you a user friendly browser to view each font before applying it...

I am having the exact same issue, and it began sometime this last evening, about 7-9 hours ago. I have had Google Voice, but after upgrading from Hero to Evo on Wednesday, Google Voice can't locate my Sprint number to integrate it on the Evo, and so I cannot disable it, either, which prevents me from working the "easy" fix by removing it.

I did have a rooted Hero when I got GV, but I've yet to root the Evo, hoping Gingerbread keeps it running okay on stock. But this issue is persisting, and it doesn't matter to me if it's GV related or not, I don't want to have to send the device back.

I did call tech support, and did soft/hard resets and they refreshed the device and tier 2 tech resent services and it seemed fixed for 5 seconds, then went right back to the "20-sec dead air before fast busy signal" issue. I even work for Sprint and am having this issue! I've never seen anything like it, and I've been in Sales Support for a good while. I'd ideally like to use GV, but if it's gonna be like this, no thanks.

Other than disabling GV (as I cannot at the moment), any other suggestions?
