I've had or used extensively a mt3g, epic 4g, evo 4g, evo shift 4g, Droid x, huawei ascend 2 and an iPhone 3gs and of those I like my nexus the best. However, my mother in law just got a sensation 4g and if I'm honest, I think I'd enjoy that better.

So I take it you prefer android over iPhone? Care to share your reasons for liking one and not liking the other?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Open source. Multitasking. Variety. Google. Etc.

Edit: scratch that. Nexus S 4G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
IMO, Nexus S is a piece of outdated hardware, since day 1, when it was release last year December 2010, at that very same time its brothers/cousins have been having way much better spec than it does.

the pure Android experience was not as fun as promised by the Nexus One hyped owners promised

So my next device will most definitely not be Nexus 3, which is yet another outdated antique, its SGS2 brothers/cousins has waaaaaaaaay better hardware than it does.

and we all know by now that support across Samsung devices is thriving like CM7 and all the countless of customized kernels and mods that you can find

The 2nd reason why i picked Nexus S, was simply because it was unlocked and works on AWS signal

there was nothing at the time, else i'd have most likely gone for a better phone

the lack of the SD slot is a major drawback, can't do things as i used to, i'm not having fun as i used to, all because of the missing space, the phone is just a phone right now, can't enjoy it as it ran out of space all the time, no matter how much stuff i send up to the clouds, there is never enough space for me

clouds is not cheap either if you don't have an unlimited internet for the phone

and the 3G speed is not that great to send up and down 500 meg of data whenever you feel like playing another game, or watching another movie

i'm sure this phone is more than enough or even great for most people, but i'm not most people
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I personally prefer android because of the ease of customization that can be done even without rooting. iOS devices are great, don't get me wrong. I'm not an iHater, but for me and my uses they don't work as well as Android. The reason iOS is so great is that it just works. Period. From the first boot to the last, an iOS device is going to work exactly like Apple intended it to.

The Android Vs. Apple debate is much akin to the Win Vs Mac debate. Apple builds its software to work on its hardware and it does, thats the reason I buy Mac laptops; in the 6 years I've owned them I've had three issues two of which were hardware failures and one was my wife's fault (she spilled soda on the keyboard). All three of the issues were solved on the spot by Apple with a total of 5 hours and $0.00 of my time and money lost to waiting and repairs. Five hours. When my wife's Compaq laptop got its THIRD motherboard recall in TWO years it took me three hours on the phone to find out I had found out about the recall one week late and was then told it would cost me $400 dollars and 4-6 weeks to get it. I ended up having to manually recover what data I could from her hard drive and the rest was lost.

Windows machines allow the user to do much more personal customization and give them much more choice in terms of hardware but the cost of that is a much higher level of system failure. Its the same way with android. I can't begin to account for the hours I've wasted setting up and customizing my wife's and my phones only to have issues come up and its all lost. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to run terminal commands to get my phone to even boot. If I had an iOS device, that probably wouldn't happen but I'd also not feel like my phone UI looks and runs like I want it to.

In a rather long-winded and round-a-bout way, the point I'm getting at is that if you want a phone that simply works, makes calls, gets texts, so and and so forth then iPhone is a great choice. But if you want a phone that you can hack to bits and make to be a reflection of your personality then Android is you choice. That's my opinion at least.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
yes and no

leagues happier than my iphone but some what less impressed by others android phones. But hey it was free.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinik420:
I don't understand everyone complaining of a lack of SD slot. It mounts so you can use it as a portable drive, it also allows a much higher I/O. There's not one thing that a removable SD card would allow me to do more than what I can do now except potentially lose a tiny piece of my phone.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the internal SD doesn't have enough space, it just as simple as that

13GB fills up in a blink of an eye
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I'm still happy with it for the most part. The only serious gripe I have at this point is RAM; it doesn't have enough to deal with the number of apps that like to run in the background eating up those tiny 2-5 MB chunks these days, and it doesn't always dump them from memory efficiently enough to play memory-intensive games nicely without first going in and killing processes. Also, it just came back from its second Best Buy repair, so... a little touchy hardware-wise perhaps.

I like vanilla Google and am not a huge fan of rooting and modding, though, so I'd be reluctant to move away from the Nexus line. I just hope the next one has a lot more RAM, and keeps a larger portion of it free at any given time for gaming. And is maybe less prone to needing to be fixed. >.>
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
RAM is not that bad, i can manage to constantly keep 75Mb free

is hard to trip enough Widgets to make that much free RAM

and make sure to not leave any app/game running in the background
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Seriously? 75mb? Running services will always show me 240mb+ free ram.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
The problem is when apps and games do run in the background, and there's no way to close them completely without going through task manager. Granted that's as much a complaint about the apps in question as about Android itself, but there will always be apps that don't behave properly in all respects. The OS should be able to handle them without user intervention.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Every app I exit out of, I exit with the back button for an exit dialog or use the menu-exit option. Never have 'stuff running'.

Some apps have components that always run(new facebook and google+ updates), I uninstall those apps and use the browser.

I don't experience what you're describing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I'm glad. However, this discussion is straying from the OP's question, so I prefer not to pursue it further here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
how do any of you guys have 200+ mbs of ram free? I am lucky to have like 120 with NOTHING running and one widget.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
People love the home button, see it far too often. Always use the back button.

Unless you find it(anything) absolutely necessary, don't use it; uninstall.

Frankly, I can still free up more ram. +the 15mb from the settings...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Still very happy. Some details could have been done differently, but certainly no deal-breakers. The usual stuff; weak Wi-Fi, a dedicated hardware camera button would have been nice, maybe a bigger battery, yadda yadda.

155MB free.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Judging from the Nexus's Prime, or whatever, alleged specs, I believe you are exaggerating quite a bit here.

4.5-5.65 inch curved glass display with*Super AMOLED HD screen that supports a 720p HD resolution of 1280 X 720 pixels.

a sleek shell with edge-to-edge glass and very minimal bezel and metallic chrome trim

5-megapixel camera, capable of 1080p HD, thanks to its vastly improved image sensor

dual-core*Texas Instruments*1.5 GHz CPU

1 GB of dual channel RAM

8.8mm thin

The only area where the Nexus Prime may be inferior to the GSII is the processor. I would not call the GS2 "wayyyyy better" when it seems to me that the Prime, if these specs are true (which they usually turn out to be), will be right up there with the GSII. And because it will be running Ice Cream Sandwich, it may prove to be smoother as well.

You and I are making such claims when the next Nexus has yet to truly be revealed. Before we label the device inferior or superior to it's cousins, we should wait a little while longer in order to truly be able to stand behind our words.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luag:
Yep, I'm still very happy with my Nexus S :)

It's still very capable of doing everything I need doing on a smartphone.

I have beautiful widgets, and a very plain one. and basically use browser and slacker and mail. could never figure otu why my ram was always so used up. using a stock rooted rom, no cache cleaners task killers ETC
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscarthegrouch:
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.CleanCache

Never use a cache cleaner? Try one and see if it will free up some memory, which it will. If you think it's snake oil, then remove it. What do you have to lose besides caches from internet using programs?

I've got 869mb available right now after a go with it.

Good gawd, did your Nexus S nail your girlfriend when you were out of town?

AllGamer will purchase a Nexus 3. You heard it here first, Nexusdamus, September, 28th, 2011.

EDIT: And to answer the OP question, I am still happy with my Nexus S, owned it since Dec.16th, '10, and it was still best phone available up until the GS2 release recently. I am ready for a new phone though just because I need something new to play with. The NS is easily the best phone I've owned and a significant upgrade over the Nexus One.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
On the OG epic, if you set the notification colors in most apps to GREEN it would light up PURPLE (RED+BLUE). I haven't tried it yet on my Epic Touch but just thought I'd throw it out there. And none of the flashing modes would work on that phone either...

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

OK, just confirmed led colors in handcent. They're the same as the OG Epic, only two LEDs RED and BLUE. For notifications:

GREEN = purple (or magenta) for the notification LED

BLUE = blue

RED= red
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antianalog:
Has anyone figured out magenta on the app Lightflow? I tried green but nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Yup, I jumped ship from tmobile. I sold my Sensation and got it. This phone rocks... But Sprints 3g is junk.

Did you re-flash CWM?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fre1102:
Do you know what bootloader you're on?

I'm not an expert (so take my advice for what it's worth), but if it were me, I'd boot into apx mode again, re-NVFlash it with the version of NVFlash that doesn't have CWM just to eliminate a possible issue. If that works, then I'd either NVFlash it with the version with CWM, or just install CWM.

If you're not sure which BL you're on, I'd just try one, then the other if the first one doesn't work. I've always been very careful about following the instructions about only NVFlashing from OEM 1.1. to 1.2 and vice versa, but yesterday I forgot which version of Clemsym I was on and NVFlash-ed 1.1 over 1.2 aftermarket ROM. So at least in my instance it wasn't the end of the world.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerivkennedy:
This is the exact issue I'm having. EEK! Trying hard not to freak out.

Glad to have some good responses. Now to figure out where things went horribly wrong. and since the Tablet was originally my husbands, I don't know which OEM it was on originally (and he doesn't recall). Any of the ROMs that have been placed onto it are on both branches.

I've tried re-NVFlashing based on the one I downloaded (from the main thread on the topic). Guess my best bet is to try one from the other branch.

Miss CM7 from my D1. Wanted a D2G, but alas, locked up bootloader and no CM7 meant no love for me.

By the way, aren't we getting closer to that "promise" by Moto about unlocking the bootloaders by the end of the year?

Seems like that has gone by the wayside lately...big shock. Another broken Moto promise...SD card running on the Xoom sound familiar? 4gLTE via software patch that was downloadable? Need I go on? Sorry Moto, but your "promise credit" is no good.

Please devs, link to the nightlies as soon as available. I'm on board for flash-fest and test...lol.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
Stop whining about what Moto have not done about the bootloader. The droid 3 is not even 3 month old yet, and there is no way Moto will unlock it anytime soon. If they promised to unlock it, then they most likely will. Take a look at the Atrix for instance.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Atrix was an internal testing leak. It's possible that we'll never see it and I honestly don't think we ever will. Would it be nice? Yes of course, but we will still have plenty of mods to make this phone even better.

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but Moto said they would unlock the bootloader on their phones SUBJECT TO CARRIER APPROVAL.

Does anyone here really think Big Red will allow such a thing? I personally, don't hold out much hope for that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Verizon obviously doesn't give a **** about the bootloader, since it's going to be the first carrier to release the Galaxy Nexus. And now that Google owns motorola I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it doesn't really matter.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
I just got a refurbished Xoom wifi from woot.com. I am trying to access it via adb from my Ubuntu PC, but it doesn't seem to recognize it. I have followed the guides for the udev rules, and it works (to a degree). It seems that my PCIIDS may be different, and this may be the problem.

I previously owned a g-tablet and a Zenithink epad, and was able to access them through adb, after changing the udev rules.

I also want to root it, and I understand that it must be able to recognize it to do that. There seems to be three modes that you can start it up in, RSD, Fastboot and Android Recovery. I'm not sure if I should be in RSD or Fastboot for adb to work, but each mode gives a slightly different PCIID.

I do have a fastboot binary for Linux, but it too needs the PC to first "see" the Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phdemartin:
For me, in opensuse

lsusb to see the constructor and id ( be careful the id change between normal mode, recovery and fastboot)

mine is :

In normal mode

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 22b8:70a8 Motorola PCS

with debug on

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 22b8:70a9 Motorola PCS

In Bootloader

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 18d1:708c Motorola PCS

In bootRSD

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 22b8:70a4 Motorola PCS

Edit or create your /etc/udev/rules.d/92-motorola-xoom.rules

to reflect the id's of your xoom

restart udev or reboot

sudo /etc/init.d/boot.udev restart

And normally you should see your device with

adb devices
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
Thanks for the reply.

I have been trying something very similar. I don't believe that I can directly copy a SuSE version to use on Ubuntu, but it gives me some ideas.

Here is what worked for my g-tablet:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0955", MODE="0666"

I think that was for mounting it to transfer files. I tried something like that for the Xoom IDs, but it didn't give me adb access.

I'll keep plugging away!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
I finally got it to find it in adb. I'm not sure what did it, but rebooting the PC may have helped.

I am still not getting it to be seen by fastboot. I am following a How-To for rooting that first requires unlocking the bootloader. That is why I am trying to get fastboot to work.

If you know of a better way to root it, please advise me.

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phdemartin:
Just plug it when in fastboot and note the ID and constructor (mine change from 22b8 to 18d1 depending of the state) in that state and add it to your rules

reboot and try again
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
I've done that, with and without USB debugging enabled.

I think that the Linux versions of fastboot that I am trying may not be working. I am currently trying to install everything needed on my Win 7 laptop. The windows SDK includes fastboot, where the Linux version doesn't.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
Ran it in windows and it is now performing the unlocking. It's disappointing that it isn't working in Linux.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
I found another copy of Linux flashboot, from somewhere on the web. That one seems to work if I run it with root permissions (sudo). Otherwise I get this:

$ fastboot devices
no permissions	fastboot

I'm not sure if tweaking the udev rules will fix this, but running it with sudo is no big deal. I'm just glad I got it to work.
