Hi Joshzz,

Can we use this method of non destructive rooting on Nexus S with 4.0.3. I'm not planning to flash custom ROM now. In future, if i want to flash CM9 or any other custom ROm, can i unlock bootloader after this root?
[Nexus S General] joshzz28:
I am not entirely sure if this one click method works on Android 4.0.3 from my knowledge, but yes if it did work on your version of Android 4.0.3 you could just as easily unlock the bootloader using command prompt and installing Android SDK as detailed in the link above...Although it's always a good thing to get a second opinion coz I just recently got into the rooting thing myself since January 2012 :-D just PM KBanause he always replies the same day and is a very reliable source of this kind of information. All the best.

Hi friends,

I have successfully rooted my Nexus S I9023 , which is on stock 2.3.6 .

Now when I press Vol Up and Power I get into recovery, and then again into stock recovery.

Can someone tell me how to have the CWM recovery sticked to my ROM , so that I can flash a new custom ROM like MIUI.

I am waiting eagerly to have a custom ROM.

Please help.
[Nexus S General] joshzz28:
That's very simple all you need is root explorer...you can download it from the web as an apk file or if you want I could email you the actual apk. Now you need to go into system/etc/ and just rename the file install_recovery.sh just rename it by adding a 1at the end eg. install_recovery1.sh then reboot and you should have cwm sticking.

Any one noticed unusual battery drain while on mobile networks with KI1? I'm using Vodafone 2g[3g when required] and i notice a greater battery drain while on EDGE than while on WiFi.. [and more drain on 3g] THis wasnt the case on GB where WiFi drained more than EDGE.

I have no issues with coverage, with almost max signal at all times. However the battery drain is annoying

Has any one got better results on other radios?

I bought my nexus s i9023 on the 26th of Dec...and since then I have experienced the awesomeness that is android....I luv the phone though I had battery problems initially I was able to root and install custom roms to overcome that problem...currently I am running codenamedroid 1.4 with matrix 17 kernel and it is running without a hitch...I would suggest this phone to anyone with a 20000 rs budget with a guarantee that they will enjoy using this phone and have a true android experience...for now I am looking forward to more custom roms to try out new stuff which is always a thrill...by the way I live in Chennai and also have great phone coverage...the custom support is great for this phone which is obvious with the various developers that can be seen on this forum...where some people would just look at the hardware and go for a higher end phone...the smart people would buy this phone...I honestly believe that this phone is the best phone that I could ever have...
[Nexus S General] maddy143ded:
yes i have used Google voice, but that was when i was in the US.

here i tried it here in India and the stupid thing actually tried to send ISD SMS. cost me Rs.50 worth sms before i realized what was happening.

it works very well in the states, I had a t-mobile sim, and used the Google Voice for international calls from just about anywhere.
[Nexus S General] sunnylovesalman:
@Saagar..............U r correct , as I have a Sensation XE, A Samsung Galaxy S2, and this Nexus S................But I feel to keep this always with me as this really looks the best among all 3, and as per Custom ROMS are called they look the best in Nexus scree.

And for Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds , I always use S2 .

When its time for nothing else other than Music, the preference shifts to Sensation XE as that has the BEATS workaround.

SO NEXUS S is really old but the best Phone as per look and performance and currently runnig CODE NAME ANDROID.
[Nexus S General] saagar67:
hmmm cant say much about the XE though i was looking to buy it until my father said 20k is the budget...my bro has a s2 and i agree that it is a great phone in many ways but he envies the number of roms that are available for my nexus s and also the number of roms that i shift through per day(per hr really!!!)...try the apex or the crossbones rom they are ultra smooth especially with the matrix kernel...u can try cybergrmod rom also(has great customization capabilities)
[Nexus S General] sunnylovesalman:
Thanks for ur reply, but switching over ROM every hour is a way too fast, and if you continuig this at that rate , your phone will also be fast out of your hand grip to service centre.

I am a MIUI Theme maker, so I prefer MIUI, though using the ICS now as it really looks good on the Nexus S.

Just the default Code Name Android ROM, No tweaks watsoever.

For all Tweaks and experiments I have my S2 , which is God Gifted device that will never die watsoever u do to it.

I have successfully planned and bricked my device to see if that really gets dead, but just connect ODIN and its fully 100% fit.

S2 is the Best one can have , if you really prefer experiementing on your phone or rather RAPING it.
[Nexus S General] anirudh.pullela:
I see what you're talking about. Lots of battery used under "Cell Standby" under KI1. I'm on BSNL. Moved to KD1 and its a lil better now. Maybe you could try KD1 or KB3. They were the best in terms of reception and battery.
[Nexus S General] sunnylovesalman:
I am using Code Name Android ROM, and my battery seems to exist for 7-8 hours max with the lighest usage, with Fruit Ninja it would drop in say an hour of play.

ICS had never been battery successful...may be thats why Galaxy Nexus is not seeing the Day light.
[Nexus S General] technogravy:
Thanks.. I took your advice and flashed kd1.. Seems battery friendly when compared to ki1.. Will use it more and report back.

Nexus S i9023- "Am Loving It"

I have a i9023, last month I got into the Rooting game after keeping stock ROM for about 6 months. Since then there has been no looking back.

I am on Codename Android 1.4, Air kernel 3.2

I havent installed any other MODS than which come with ROM- to keep it running well.

The experience is Super Smooth and has given my Nexus S new life. I think I can keep using it for quite some time more now.

Earlier I used to get barely 4-5 hrs of battery life with minimal usage, now I get upto 15-16 hrs with moderate usage and 10 hrs with higher usage. What else can I ask for?? :D

My next phone will surely be one which is well supported by the developer community, coz they can do wonders.

Makes me realise why I absolutely love Android. ;)

You may want to keep an eye on this. Afaik, you can manually download and install the updates without rooting the phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445635

There are links for full as well as incremental updates.
[Nexus S General] charankvi:
Thanks for that...however it says that, all the 4.0.3 Stock ROMS cannot be upgraded manually to 4.0.4 since the recovery is screwed (probably purposely by Google) and there isn't any way but to wait for the OTA.

However my qn. is, is there a way by which I can use a different recovery without rooting my phone and get the update in place ?
[Nexus S General] mucking4on:
sorry mate .. no idea ..

EDIT: a little googling had this .. please note that you don't need to be rooted for this ... (hence no need to install superusers.zip)

Hey guys I'm currently using MXvideo player and it's pretty decent. I managed to run a 720p mkv video of about 300 mb with Software decoding fast on. On hardware decoding I've not met a video player yet that can handle that and I've tested moboplayer and this one up till now.

Well for the most part the software decoding fast on the Mxvideo player does a pretty decent job but it still kinda lags at times. Anyone found a better solution?

[Defy Themes and Apps] javlada:
The CPU of Motorola Defy is not strong enough to play H.264 HD videos. Unfortunately according to my experiences, the HW decoding in CM7 on Defy is broken. Until this is fixed, I'm afraid there will be no player capable of playing 720p MKV files correctly.
[Defy Themes and Apps] gadgetcraze:
Rock player lite plays most of the videos. I have played some 720p also.
[Defy Themes and Apps] pravarth:
If you are running the cpu at 1ghz 720p videos should play rather smoothly. Maybe its your sd card thts slowing you down
[Defy Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
Mkv 720p does not work well at all :). Peace
[Defy Themes and Apps] javlada:
On a desktop PC, to play H.264 720p video, you need at least 2 GHz CPU. To play 1080p you need 2 GHz dual core CPU and to play 1080p60 movie, you need at least a quad core 2 GHz CPU.

Now add to this the fact, that ARM is slower then x86 at the same frequency and you would need a 3 GHz CPU to play 720p movies without HW acceleration.
[Defy Themes and Apps] juami:
if you use GB rom, try diceplyer.

Diceplayer can play mkv with hw decoding.
[Defy Themes and Apps] leodfs:
Mobo player has hard and soft decoding capabilities. It can decode the video, but in general hd videos have hd sounds, that are cpu demmanding. I think that convert HD videos first is a good idea, even when you phone can play it, nobody wants to run out of battary only because of a movie with quality you can not fully enjoy.

Don't know where you got your information bro, but it's def wrong.

I have a dual-core 2GHZ Intel T4200 laptop and i have a mounted a blu-ray player on it for a while now and i can tell you 100% that it plays Full BluRay discs (meaning over 40GB disc) with absolutely no problem in the world.
[Defy Themes and Apps] javlada:
Vladuu> My information is correct. I know it from many tests I've done. You have 2x2 GHz CPU, that's enough for a blu-ray (1080p, 24fps or 1080i). But your CPU could never play 1080p 60fps movie.

It's also very likely that you have graphics card which in fact does the decoding instead of your CPU.

Follow the steps below on your Android phone and see the 3G data speeds grow better.

1. Open the Settings menu.

2. Select Wireless & networks, and then select Mobile networks.

3. Check the 3G Data box (if its not already checked). Now press the back button twice. This will take you back to the Settings menu.

4. Now scroll down and select About phone.

5. Now select Update PRL and let the phone update the PRL of your carrier.

That’s it, you are done now. You must be able to see some improvement in the 3G data speeds on your Driod phone... You can check the speed of the Internet in your Phone at this site Ip-details.com
[Droid X General] Goose306:
You may try Powerboost, assuming its supported on your ROM. (For the un-throttle option, which is what you're looking for anyways.) I've had pretty good results with that in the past, went from about 1 mbps down here in my crappy service area up to around anywhere from 2-4 mbps. My personal experience anyways.

I was going to give you a link, but XDA won't let me put a link in (damn anti-spam) I get it from Rootzwiki though. Go to Forums -> Droid X -> Developer Forum. Should be one of the top threads. Also an IRC channel on freenode #pboost.
[Droid X General] fifiknw:
I mean if you Want more speed you can try that patch. Remember sometimes patchs can cause your phone issues. You could Just try another browse and see if its better loading. My favorite is miui browser or dolphin. But if your going for download speed I would try the patch.

hi everybody!!!

when i had my tytn 2 device i found some kind of gelaskin, customisable, but it was not only a scratches-protector, it was thick, so it protected the device also from little falls...

from what i can see now, looking at the majority of the podt, gelaskin are just a small vinyl film added to the cover..

do someone find something like a thick gelaskin for the DHD?

PS i've got a silicone case, but it is not so easy to use, cause often it stucks in the pocket and the phone feels diffuculto to extract due to the silicone material..

PPS some cool alternatives?

HTC Snap is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard based mobile so you can access this from any Windows based PC using "Windows Mobile Device Center" (for Vista or Windows 7) or Active Sync for lesser version of Windows OS.

Start above software in PC and Connect your device to PC using provided USB cable and make sure the device driver is installed in PC. And this should make sure you are now connected to PC.
