[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannypp:
I want to buy a nexus S that will work in Europe. I am in the US so I want to buy it here. I am pretty sure I need the i9020a which is compatible with AT&T 3g. I simply cannot find any at a reasonable price. I found many tmobile versions that are good. For example, amazon has one listed for about $400.(i am a knew user so can't post links but its easy to find).

That has the i9020t code which means tmobile. However the people who ordered claimed they got random versions. So it seems that it is all a mess. Other sites will claim tmobile version but then have the AT&T bands listed which also makes no sense.

Also, I want to get the version with super amoled. I think the i9023 is lcd.

So please, if you know of somewhere where I can get a nexus s that works on AT&T 3g and has superamoled, please let me know. I would love to pay $400 but anything below $450 is of interest.

Thank you very much and I hope this thread is useful to others as well.

the i9020a just got announced for AT&T, this Sunday is the release date.

Give it a little time after that, and you should be able to get good pricing in the US.

hello i just did a clean fresh install on official se 2.1, rooted, busybox installed, flashed xrecovery about ten times now so i can flash the new zKernel. i can only get xrecovery to actually work prob 1 in 10 power ups and iv flashed the 20072011.zip file 3 times now yet it doesnt actually work. when i open about in settings its still the stock kernel, is there a way of flashing the new kernel using the flash tool or just plain without xrecovery????

cheers if anyone can help

had the same problem... just made a work around which worked for me.. as i see, flashing zkernel does not delete anything... but this uuntz kernel delets the stock kernel any applies the custom kernel... so what i do is first flash the uuntz kernel which deletes the stock kernel and applies itself.. and straight after it without reebooting i flash the zkernel... and it works... i dont know how the hell it works this way but it works...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow_hazard69:
im having problems with xrecovery as well so flashing the two kernels is proving to be difficult. iv had xrecovery for about 6mths and booted into it fine everytime but now im on official se rom as i mentioned less than 1 in 10 boot ups will boot into x recovery :(

its giving me the ****s i hacked/flashed different roms from day 1 of owning this phone but now im on se rom nothing works iv even let se pc suit update it three times and started from scratch. ill keep trying xrecovery cheers for your help :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] khaosxiii:
Been having some odd issues with the G2 lately.

Got it on launch - waited the mos for root and then rooted and have been flashing ROMs ever since. Had vision unity on the phone forever and suddenly started experiencing touch issues.

I'm in Dallas so it's been 100+ degrees out forever - on a few days I took the phone out of my pocket, and the screen wouldn't respond at all, as it was the exact same temperature as my body heat - so why would it? Cooled it off and all was good.

However - lately the phone seems like it has dead-spots in certain areas - or parts where I am unable to touch. I'm not getting any type of random touches while attempting touch or erratic behavior - it really just seems like dead spots.

I looked for other posts etc. and when looking outside of XDA, all that I am seeing is replacement touch glass for $25! - holly shi1t that's cheap!

So cheap that either there must me an issue .... or ... maybe I'm missing something.

I've flashed various ROMs since and am seeing similar issues in all ROMs and am still trying to convince myself of exactly what the issue may be.

Is anyone else experiencing these types of touch issues?

My screen isn't scratched in anyway so I'm really not getting it...

ALSO:

Is there a specific program that I can use to discover or locate the specific dead spots on the screen? A search on market yields nothing.

Thanks in advance guys - everyone rocks here! Epic community.

CLIFFS:

My G2 touch screen if messing up - is there a util to verify a hardware issue or something to do other than flashing a new rom?

Everyone at XDA is a f(_)cking pimp!

EDIT:

Changed Title from Intermittent dead spots to just: dead spots

Will upload tests w/ Paint Programs in a min ...

:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
It is possible for heat to have damaged the screen, but unlikely. Fact is that it is a capacitive touchscreen, that means that it senses your finger by the completion of an electric CIRCUIT from the body of the phone, through your hand, the tip of your finger, into the conductive grid embedded in the glass.

I find it much more likely that the extreme weather is simply interfering with the conductivity of your hand. First thing to try is cleaning the screen with RUBBING ALCOHOL to eliminate all the oils that may be interfering. Then try soaking your hand in a saline solution for an hour, drying it off with a towel, and while your hand is still somewhat damp, try it then. If this corrects the issue you've been experiencing, the issue is your hand and the weather, not the sensor.

Note that the screen does NOT detect temperature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] khaosxiii:
OK ... so I was able to verify a huge deadspot in the center of the screen with Kids Paint ... and also the square coloring page on Zebra Paint.

It seems like the best steps to very were:

-DL Kids Paint from the Market

-Start drawing in curved circular motions - a straight up and down motion over the spot would actually join all of the lines as if there was no dead spot.

It appears that if you cross over this "dead zone" quickly enough that the swipe completes on the other side and the shortest path between the two points is assumed. When this become an issue in this case is when attempting to make selections within this zone - as it's not possible.

Shame - my phone was in perfect condition. If it didn't have insurance I would probably order this: HTC G2 Vistion Touch Screen Digitizer

Tests:
[G2 and Desire Z General] adamsinger77:
I'm getting the exact same issue as you. really sad cause tmobile doesn't support this phone anymore and I'm afraid that if I got a replacement thrugh there insurence its either gonna be a refurbished phone or a non qwerty non CM7able phone. I really love this phone and having dead zone right in the middle sucks.

So far I noticed anyone with this problem always has it in the same middle part as we do.

I don't belive its from heat, I think its just bad digitizers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tep065:
I'm having the same issue, sigh, i'm up for an upgrade, but nothing really out on t-mobile i'd want atm. I changed roms to see if it fixed anything. Maybe i'll try a replacement screen at some point and see what happens being as they are 25$.

[G2 and Desire Z General] willham:
Same with me. Im really thinking about calling tmobile and getting a replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tep065:
So I called tmo yesterday, explained the problem and that I used touch test to determine where the issue was, that I tested both horizontal and verticle nd had same problem. They asked what ver of android I was using, told them mmy phone was battery dead and had no charger with me, they asked about any dmg, the white sticker, etc..but said the screen was a defect, and that I'm still under warranty..they sending a rreplacement Tuesday..charged me 5$ :D..hopefully I won't get a bad spring phone like the one I have. But they try to see if yur rooted without asking..heh but it was fairly painless..they also said that this prroblem wasn't a "known issue"..I guess they need X number of people to complain about it before its an issue..fortunately unrooting was pretty painless.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
Are they sending you out a G2? Is it gonna be brand new or a refurb??
[Galaxy S II General] Vulpix:
My god, it's RETARDED. Using KF1 here, rooted with Chainfire, and the bluetooth stack is being a pest. I was able to simulate the problem each time to make mediaserver go crazy. Here's how I did it:

1. Connect my LG HBS-700 stereo BT headset

2. Run the Google Music app (Account sync switched off)

3. Play music for a bit w/ Equalizer app switched on

4. Stop playing the music

5. Switch off bluetooth

See the blue text? This keeps appearing every 5 minutes until I switch bluetooth back on, unpair the headset, then it stops. Anyone have any clue? I already force closed the Music app and Equalizer app, but the process Mediaserver still goes crazy.

Eternal Prophecy 6.1 - Daily Driver and give awesome battery life

Kings Nightly Builds - Can't go wrong with King
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenomisis:
Honestly I have tried quite a few including some ASOP and I find MikG to be great. I like the fact that it is based off of Sense. I did try ASOP (CM7) and it is fine but I was used to Sense and found ASOP to be kind of buggy and almost always missing something (many times there were fixes and work arounds but would take time and often a reflash to apply).

MikG is defiantly something for you to try. As for the kernel currently the stock kernel is really the recommended one with this ROM but I am sure there will be one developed soon. It is quite fast and includes many features from Sense 3.0. Since the kernel is stock there is no overclocking yet but every main feature is included and it seems quite stable for the modifications that have been done to it.

Right now since so much has changed with the transition from froyo to gingerbread there are quite a few updates that will require a full wipe and this gets annoying but I feel he is getting close to a version that will last a long time.

I guess from what everyone is saying I will have to check out Synergy though. Since I went to MikG I haven't read much about other roms lately and need to check this out!

I think I need your help, since you have become such a believer. I can't get MIUI to run well at all :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Here's what I do, and I admit, it IS extreme, but well worth the time and this is set for MIUI, but works for any ROM. Before anything, make a Nandroid of your current setup, saving everything except cache.

1) Copy contents of SD Card to my computer

2) Reformat SD Card with my Computer

3) With Amon Ra, set Partitions of 64 mb Swap/1024 mb EXT3

4) Copy everything I need back to the SD Card

4a) Nandroid to my stock/Rooted ROM I made after I first Rooted my phone.

4b) update any apps that need to be, and do the Sense GPS Fix (##clrgpsx#) then reboot.

5) In Recovery, wipe EVERYTHING, except SD Card. And I mean everything, including cache and Dalvik Cache 2 times ea.

6) Flash MIUI (Or whatever ROM I'm using)

7) In same recovery session, flash DT A2SD

8) reboot, and don't touch the phone for about 5 mins after it boots, then reboot to recovery - Make a Nandroid of basic MIUI

9) Flash my kernel and reboot, same thing, don't touch the phone for about 5 mins, to let it fully boot.

10) Set my basic prefs (Sound, screen, etc) Reboot

11) After it's fully booted, restore apps with Titanium backup, set all my prefs for my apps. Reboot

12) Set up Desktop widget and themes then reboot to recovery

13) Make a Nandroid of my setup, and when I make any nandroid, I back up everything except cache, every time.

14) Reboot, open Connect bot and do the following:

SU

a2sd check

a2sd swappy 10

a2sd reswap

Then I'm done.

yes, this takes awhile, BUT, I NEVER have reboots, NEVER have FC's, never ever ever.

The ONLY thing I have is after I do a nandroid, sometimes, or flash something in recovery, SOMETIMES, it takes the phone an eternity to boot up and another eternity to get fully booted. IF this happens, be patient, and wait it out, and it has taken as long as 20 minutes before, but if you lave it alone, if this happens to you, it will be fine once it's fully booted

Well, considering only a percentage of the country HAS 4G, that's not a big deal. I'll probably never see it, and a lot of people that DO have 4G aren't impressed, really.

I'll take a stable ROM with all the options and customization's in the world over a battery hog that looks like a stock phone.

Really, all the 2.1/3.0 hybrids are real nice and good work by the Devs, but what is really so special about them?? They mostly all look the same, have the same things in them, and because of no kernel source code, they eat batteries.

If not having 4G, which is almost rarely used or even available is a deal breaker on an incredibly solid, stable ROM, then I'm sorry for what you're choosing to miss out on in return. Faster d/l speeds (and how often are you even using 4g? WiFI is faster) on a laggy, imperfect battery hog. Good luck with that....
