[Nexus S General] Overstew:
1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones) - Probably user error. Or you're using apps that keep conflicting with your setup.

2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery) - Manually turn screen off after a given set of time, chances are, your bag is pressing up against the phone when you place it in and the phone keeps pressing buttons (My guess).

3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call - I had this problem before, are you using Google Voice with integration?

4) pictures in the gallery come and go - Depends on the size of the images, the phone can only read so much data from SD card at a time. I assume you're not giving it enough time to load everything or you have a .nomedia file somewhere that's hiding your pictures from being shown.

5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market - It's a known bug with some Market builds. Downloading another app or giving it a minute will usually fix the problem.

6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact - This is weird. Do you have a custom dialer app from the market that may have this bug? I played with my phone out of box a few days and nothing like this happened.

7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data - If you're in a weak signal area, it can take longer to gain 3G back. If it doesn't come back within 2 minutes, I suggest a reboot. I also suggest doing a profile update, PRL update, and firmware update (as Google has sent an OTA with bugfixes) to see if these problems can be fixed.
[Nexus S General] NewProggie:
The only bug I experienced since I've got my Nexus S is that the Screen won't respond for a little while after unlocking my phone.

I didn't had the time yet to analyze the problem more detailed, maybe this also happens due to a specific widget? I don't know. I got a lot of them all over my four different home screens.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
No response from OP yet people continue to respond. I think the fecal fan has left the building.
[Nexus S General] ilovefeces:
Judging by the quality of the posts in this thread, I find it rather ironic that I'm being accused of being a troll. First time posting and where is the love?

I will respond to pretty much the only useful reply I got in this thread so far.

Please define what you mean by "user error." I don't know of any apps that can change the global notification ringtone.

Nope. The same thing happened when my phone was sitting face up on my desk.

No I'm not using GV.

Nexus S does not have an SD card slot AFAIK. I gave it plenty of time to load everything. I wouldn't expect my phone to require 5 minutes to load pictures. I own a smartphone, not a 486. On reboot, some pictures show up that weren't in the gallery before. After subsequent reboot, some other random pictures disappear.

No.

I understand 3G can take longer, but it seems fishy that my cell signal doesn't come back. I waited more than 2 minutes and I ended up HAVING to reboot (twice in fact) to get both 3G and cell reception back.

Oh yeah, just yesterday, I experienced my first encounter with the mythical "search button of death" bug. Yay.
[Nexus S General] luv2vexx:
perform a hard reset and it should be fine

could just be u got a bad phone. i've never had or heard of any of those issues on the forums. your factory warranty is good for a year.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Dude what the f**k is up with your username??? god damn what the hell is wrong with people...

the only error that has been reported is the images missing. the rest are probably your fault or you're doing something wrong. if you love **** so much go buy the iPhone

[Nexus S General] praveenmarkandu:
Yes this happens. BUT.... only when you mount the phone via USB and do not disconnect it properly. The phone doesnt have time to scan for your set ringtones, and therefore defaults it to some random mp3 or whatever.

Due to what i said above as well. This is a HUGE bug.

Every other problem you have is either user-error or an issue from your telco.
[Nexus S General] markywylder:
Have you done a factory reset of the phone? You may even have a virus. Just read somewhere that Android is the most targeted platform for them as of now.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
A lot of places are dumping Tegra 2 tablets for $299-349 and I would guess this is because of Kal-El being just around the corner. So, what do you guys think. Is it worth picking up a Tegra 2 tablet for $299 or wait until roughly December which is when the new Asus Transformer 2 with Kel-El is supposed to drop (and be presented some time this month)?
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I'm waiting for Kal-El. I've been wondering how much they paid DC comics to use that name though....
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
lol prolly less than they would of paid for super man. I'm personally excited they are droping that low it means I finally might be able to afford a tablet. I think that price is much more reasonable considering a tablet is considered lower on the tech food chain than a laptop but a lot of laptops are cheaper.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
the slider looks awesome but I'm waiting on the Kal-el too
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
Depends on your situation bud. I'm a graduate student and will get great use out of a tablet. I owned a galaxy tab 10.q for roughly ten days. I loved it, and I was sad to return it. But I don't have money to burn, so I decided my money would best be invested in a quad core tablet coming in the near future. Such a tablet would last me much longer than a Tegra 2, based on hardware alone.

If your just looking for a toy, and want to save some money, then tegra 2 might be your best bet.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Not really looking for a toy. I have a pretty big gaming laptop and lugging it around sucks. Especially now that I also have to haul around a car seat with a 15+ pound squirt in it.

I really want something that is zippy with minimal lag, where I can open, edit, and manipulate office crap (word, excel, etc), have a great web browsing experience, watch videos and music without lag, jitters, or any weird crap, and have long battery life. Mainly I would be using it at work where I can't do anything...including personal e-mail, on the computer there, but would have complete open wifi access.

I'm pretty sure I'll wait for Kal-el, but I was thinking of getting a Transformer with dock on sale and then dump the Transformer when the T2 is actually selling which might not be until December or January...just not sure if I am being smart or getting caught up in the "craze."

The Nook Color, while awesome, just wasn't awesome enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] h_22_accord:
For the money I would go with the original galaxy tab. I've had my Sprint tab for over two months and still can't put it down, and also gettin.g on contract for $199.99. Even with the single core hummingbird processor, I am currently rooted and have custom ROM with touchwiz 5 and overclocked to 1.2 gighrz on stock kernel and get quadrant scores of 2800-3000+ which is better then any stock tablet out right now. With the custom ROM this tablet is fast, plays every game flawlessly and plays any movie like glass, including blueray movies without converting. So I would recommend the original tab or pay a little more and get galaxy tab 10.1 or the HTC flyer is a very nice tab aswell.
[HTC EVO 3D] JBO1018:
Wasn't Kal-El just an internal code-name that got publicized/popularized by leaked roadmaps and such? If so they probably didn't have to license it at all.

[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
So....anyhow.... Anyone know of any other manufacturers who are in the process of making Kal-El based tablets? I noticed Acer was on sale for $100 off at a number of retailers. Although that isn't any form of confirmation, it does seem like they are clearing inventory to make room for something...but I could be dreaming a bit. I really liked the design/spec balance on the Iconia for a non-dockable tablet.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerbetta33:
Hey guys. I come in peace from the land of the optimus v. My friend who works at a movie theatre found what looks like a galaxy s in the parking lot. He has a captivate on at&t, and the galaxy s is on the Verizon network, so he is giving it to me. Obviously I can't use it on my carrier (virgin mobile) but I was wondering if I could tether the galaxy s to my optimus v, and then use that wifi as a means to send messages and place calls. I know it sounds kind of far fetched but is it possible? Before you get into the legality of the situation, the galaxy has been kept in the lost and found for 28 days now, company policy is that anything lost for 30 days can be given to employees. Also, if I only use wifi, Verizon can't track where the phone is, can they? I'd appreciate an answer, love this community.

Sent from my LG Optimus V running Sense 3.0
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkexda:
Well, speaking of the legality of the situation.

Concerning the device, I think it's legal to keep it. However, concerning the SIM card, it's another story, and it may well be illegal.

Verizon can track the phone ONLY if you connect it to a 2G/3G network, it's the only way they could detect your ESSID. The risk is that they could block it from connecting to cell networks, if the previous owner has declared this ESSID as stolen to Verizon. The probability of this is very low, because virtually no one makes the effort of writing down their ESSID, and those who do don't even bother to report it...

About your wi-fi tethering question. I would understand if you'd like to use it as a wi-fi only internet device, but I'm wondering why you would want to send messages and place calls by using this phone... You could do it on your phone, couldn't you?

Now, about the ethics of it.

You must be aware that by keeping it, you willfully deprive the previous owner from his device, data, SMSes, photos, etc...

You could bring it back to a Verizon shop, or check the cell phone number that should be printed on the SIM card (at least, in France, it's the case) and make a call to it.

I'm not gonna lecture you on that, or tell you what you should do. It's your call (pun not intended)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkexda:
I meant "IMEI" and not "ESSID", obviously.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
some people are so careless, and care free. I would be in a blind state of panic if i lost my £400 galaxy s, I would re trace my steps and search for it. Then i would cry for help from my carrier to locate it (if mylookout struggled to locate it)

Some people lose phones and think "arr what the hell, i'll just get a new one"

People like that dont deserve such nice expensive phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkexda:
True that some people don't care, but most people don't even know about IMEI blocking and anti-theft apps... I thinks it's a little easy to conclude that as they don't care, we deserve it more than them, and we're entitled to keep it.

That said, I clearly won't pity those clueless people who don't change their '1234' default PIN, don't password-protect their devices, or won't move their ass to try to get back their (pricey) phone. Especially if they could have gone to the lost&found office - they've had their chance. During a month.

As I've said, I was not lecturing anyone, if you find something it becomes yours after some delay, anyway. I was just saying that the cell phone could have been returned to its owner with really little effort. That's just one's choice, and I won't criticize him if he keeps it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djice000:
In all fairness, I'd hand it back bud, you'd expect someone to do the same and being a good Samaritan could earn you kudos :) and tbh the galaxy s is roughly just over a year old, you can pick one up brand new for 150 nicker :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] diesel43078:
I've been wanting to try the chainfire 3D app to see if it improves video performance any, but when I try to install it it says there is not enough room for the installation. I don't get this because all my apps are on the SD card and there isn't anything in the system storage. What am I not doing, or doing incorrectly? What do I have to do to install this and try it out, or should I just forget about it and not waste my time?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
I have installed it on Newt's rom and it worked fine for me. What rom are you using?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] diesel43078:
Incredible sensation is the ROM I'm running. It says I need x amount more space on the system drive, but even if I delete stuff, and after moving all apps to the SD card, it still said I needed the exact same amount of space to install the app. I don't get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Sometimes a dev will ask you to provide a logcat log in order to help with debugging their ROM. These batch scripts will help you simplify the process.

There are 2 sets of instructions, one for sending via pastebin, and one via email

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Download Log This from the Android Market

2) Open the app/menu/thing that caused your phone to Force Close.

3) Open Log This

SEND LOG DATA VIA EMAIL

4) Uncheck "Log an application tag"

5) Make sure that both "Include Android Runtime Errors" and "Include System Environment" are checked.

6) Click on "Send Logs via Email"

7) Click on "Continue"

8) Select what method you'd like to use to send the log (GMail, email, etc)

9) Somewhere in your email put in the name of the app/menu/thing that caused the Force Close.

10) Send the email (and profit?)

POST LOGS TO PASTEBIN

4) Uncheck "Log an application tag"

5) Make sure that both "Include Android Runtime Errors" and "Include System Environment" are checked.

6) On "Paste Name" put in the name of the app/menu/thing that caused the Force Close.

7) Make sure "Paste Expires" is set to "Never"

8) Click on "Paste Logs to Pastebin"

9) Click on "Continue"

10) The link to the pastebin page where your log was posted is now on the phone's clipboard. Go into the XDA app or anywhere you can contact your dev and send the link to them.

Hopefully this will streamline the process for both users and devs.

[HD2 General] H0n3yb43:
Hello,

I recently bought a HTC HD 2 Tmobile from ebay .

The phone will not boot up.

When i start up the phone it leads me to the windows start up to the tmobile start up then back to the windows start up and stays there and i cannot do anything except take out the battery.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop. There is a few things you can try.

First check the battery pins and make sure you do not have any that are bent out of alignment with the others or that is being hindered in anyway.

Next you can download the official Windows Mobile ROM from T-Mobile. You will have to enter the IMEI number, look under the battery for it. Once downloaded you can try to flash it via USB. Just put your HD2 into the bootloader by holding down the volume down button while powering on your HD2 and then connect it to your computer via USB cable. You will have to have Windows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync installed on your computer so you can get the USB Sync connection you need. Go to here to find a link to both, just choose the one you need for the type of windows you use. Anyway once you have your HD2 in bootloader and connected the serial in the bottom white bar of bootloader should change to USB, this means you have the USB Sync connection. When you see the USB you can right click on the ROM you downloaded from T-Mobile and run it as administrator. I do suggest you let your HD2 stay off and charge for a little while first though to make sure you have more than a 50% charge.

If that does not work you can try running a Task 29 and then repeating the above mentioned steps to flash the ROM again.

If this does not fix your problem you probably have hardware issues causing the boot loop.
[HD2 General] H0n3yb43:
Thank you so much for the reply. I will try the things you have listed. Even though i am a bit lost haha. If these steps dont work , what are some of the hardware issues that may be the cause of this? And i know this is random but can you help me load android onto my hd2? I have 2 2gb micro sd cards do i have to get a bigger card? Which android os would you recommend? Thats quick and smooth? Thx!
[HD2 General] orangekid:
the hardware issue would be overheating cpu, have to get a new main board via HTC warranty (if it is not voided due to water damage or dropped).

Android is easy to load. Fast/smooth you want a CyanogenMod7 ROM, you can find versions for SD or versions that you flash on the phone itself. You can either run Windows Mobile 6.5 then laucnch Android from SD (dual-boot), launch Android from SD with no Windows Mobile, launch Android flashed from internal storage, or flash Windows Phone 7 to internal storage and run Android from SD (dual-boot).

The tutorials are all in the HD2 Android forums and HD2 WP7 forums.
[HD2 General] grezbo:
initially I would try a hard reset before getting too technical.

hold down volume up and down and switch on. keep holding volume buttons, when prompted press volume up. this will restore to out of he box settings ie remove all previous data on the phone.

G
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As far as hardware issues go it is like XDA member orangekid said overheating is the predominant reason that comes to mind. Another thing is degraded prossesor connection or degradated flash/NAND chip connections. All of witch can only be fixed by main board replacement.

Yes I can help you "load" Android onto your HD2, just click the guide link ed in my Sig. I think everything you need to know is there. well except how to run Android fro SD card, hmmm maybe I should add that. Also you can go here for more links to very useful threads in the Android General Stickie Roll up thread.

Again I have to agree with XDA member orangekid, the CyanogenMod7 ROMs are pretty creaking awesome. But I do recomend the Hyperdroid ROM I have linked in my Sig. I have used it for my daily driver for months and the only real problem I have had is the latest update to the ROM the new updated market would not work properly I would have to go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Then find the market selerct it and then select Uninstall Updates. Oh and make sure you do not have the check box checked to aromatic update the market or you will have to do this everytime you use the market. I am currently testing the [17 Aug][SENSE3.0] Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.1][RAF 1.9GB] ROM to sort of test the HTC Sensation's ROM and to check out HTC Sense 3.0.

As for your 2gig SD card no it will work but I do recomend you consider getting a 4 gig SD card. I have heard mixed results from 2 gig SD cards that people use to dual boot with. I personally have never used under a 4 gig SD card and have never had any trouble.
[HD2 General] H0n3yb43:
Thank you all for your replies.

I will Try out all the steps to fix my phone first. then i will try to load up android onto it and i will get back to you guys. i thanked all that have helped :D thank you so much. i will be back around sunday or monday with an update. wish me luck! oh one more question. would a 8gb be a good size micro sd card? or should i get a 16gb?
[HD2 General] htccraze:
It really depends on how much space you'll think you'll need like, are you a person who takes a lot of pics or video, do you keep a lot of music on your phone? If you do then yes I would go with an 8gb. If not then you could really just use a 4gb sd card. I use a 8gb class 10 sd card myself and store a lot of pics, roms and backups and I haven't had the need to go back to a 16gb. Also you dont have to get a high speed card either, a class 4-6 is plenty.

If you decide to go the dual boot for Android I would look up a program found here on XDA called Rundroid. It will allow you to run many different Android builds from your sd card and is very simple to use. I would give the link but I'm not by a computer right now, sorry about that.
