[Nexus S Themes and Apps] forumache:
I'm in the same boat with Tweakyth13f:

I had my Nexus S on stock rooted 2.3.6

I installed Google Wallet from the first post as instructed.

It worked perfectly.

I added the 10$ Google card.

I went to metro/tube/underground and payed for 1 trip

it worked great.

Now, when everything works, is time for a change, isn't it?

I made a backup with ClockworkMod recovery.

I installed CyanogenMod 7.1 stable.

I added Google Wallet from the first post.

I booted and saw that Google Wallet crashed.

I realized that CyanogenMod does not have the stock 2.3.6 fonts so some Romanian character were displayed as squares.

Restored stock 2.3.6 with Google Wallet (as backed-up) and...

Google Wallet said that NFC is not enabled...

I went to Setting|Wireless|NFC, selected it.... wait... wait... "an error occured" and NFC is still not enabled. Cannot scan NFC cards, anything which worked so nicely before now is gone.

I can attach also logcat if someone wants to have a look.

I erased everything, installed a clean stock 2.3.6 unrooted but still no luck... NFC seems to be dead.

Please help... Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

But it worked with those unsecure files. I mean, I had stock 2.3.6 unrooted with the default nfc.apk of course, I added only the first post Google Wallet (which installed only Shopper.apk Wallet.apk and 3 libs - libshopper*) and it worked...

Why do I need now to replace the nfc.apk and do other things which I didn't have to do before?

Of course, I have nothing to loose so I can try what you suggest, but I would like to understand what's going on.

From my point of view, I returned the system to its previous state and now nfc does not work...

Many thanks for trying to help us!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Tweakyth13f:
Just uninstalled the wallet.apk that was restored, and re-installed. Still have the same error, and this is running on a rooted stock 2.3.6 where it worked before.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Maximilian Mary:
That was mostly geared towards custom roms.

Apparently stock 2.3.6 has the updated nfc files. Cool!

The first thing I'd look for with nfc (or any other radio) not working at all is a messed up boot.img. What phone do you have?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] forumache:
I've just read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271221

Seems like when we moved to 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7.1 is based on 2.3.7), a special feature was enabled in NFC chip so it cannot work now with ROMs less than 2.3.7.

This is funny, since there is no other stock 2.3.7 for my Nexus S (stock 2.3.7 is only for Nexus S 4G).

So, I'll confirm in 5 minutes, I've just flashed back CM 7.1 and booting.... fingers crossed....

Later edit: yes!!! NFC is working again!!!

So I guess we have two solutions:

1) move to CyanogenMod 7.1 until ICS appears (18th of October?)

2) go back to stock 2.3.6 but once the NFC chip was "touched" by 2.3.7 we need to use the secure nfc files as indicated by Maximilian Mary (thanks again) - did not test.

Awesome find, will test later when my phone has more than 3% battery remaining
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
Heres a fix for those who have upgraded to CM 7.1 but want to go back to stock (Nfc_fix.zip). I was bit by same issue too btw :(.

Note: Credit goes to YourMainDude for the files i used in the Nfc fix :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Tweakyth13f:
It did work, my NFC is working again, wallet doesnt work at its still CM 7.1

awesome find on the wallet fix, need to decided if i want to reflash my rom .... again
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] maciejb84:
Can i flash this fix in stock recovery on nexus s without root? Or how can i do it? I had a root and cyanogen 7.1 installed,.after going back to stock 2.3.6 nfc is not working... But when I flash 2.3.3 original stock ROM it is working so I guess it is not 2.3.7 fault... Something must be messed in 2.3.6... On NSCollab that is on 2.3.7 nfc is also working.

Again: it is working on stock 2.3.3 - that's the ROM I've tested, dunno on 2.3.4 but not working on 2.3.6..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chad-b:
Good to know, thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
It only works on deodexed roms so wouldn't work on a stock non rooted rom.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SS2006:
can this be flashed ontop of cm7.1
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
Combining the main zip and the nfc fix may possibly work on cm 7.1 but that wasn't the use case of the fix.

If it does work for you please report back.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SS2006:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
then what i got should have worked i used the nfc files from there with credit (without wallet) to make nfc work on 2.3.6 after running cm 7.1 on my nexus s.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] maciejb84:
But why is nfc working normally in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4? But not on 2.3.6?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
Not sure... all i can think of is that 2.3.4/2.3.6 is looking for something that changed in 2.3.7 but doesn't exist in 2.3.3.

Google Wallet on unlocked phones

Several posters have mentioned the fact that they have been able to install Google Wallet on an UN-rooted device. Are one of you willing to detail exactly how to do this? Please keep in mind that I am a complete noob when it comes to all of this flashing and roms and rooting etc. (as in I had my friend root my last phone, an HTC Magic, cause I couldn't figure it out...) I have gotten as far as downloading the .zip file from the first post (GoogleWallet.zip).

I have the following:

Nexus S

i9020A

2.3.6

unrooted

In Canada on Rogers

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kibmcz:
They must have had unlocked bootloader. Only way would be to have unlocked bootloader and USB booting custom recovery to apply the zip.

[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
I've had a problem with my E900 since I got it with regards to the screen. I was hoping Mango might fix it but it doesn't seem to have.

Sometimes if I press the power button the screen backlight comes on (i.e. screen goes from off state to powered) but there is nothing on the screen. No amount of button pressing will cause the screen to show anything.

If this happens I have to turn the device off again (backlight then goes off) and try again. Sometimes it can take 2-3 times before it turns on successfully with the lock screen.

I also have this if an incoming call attempts to wake the phone and also alarms too.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Optimus 7 General] mcm69:
I confirm this one popping sometimes. Not that often that it becomes annoying, but nevertheless.
[Optimus 7 General] prelud:
Did you find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing it too and it is very annoying!
[Optimus 7 General] the_ape:
I've recently inherited one as well (E900 that is).

The one I have has been dropped, the backlight powers, but no drawing on the screen.

I've disassembled and re plugged everything (bugger stripping down!) but still no luck. I've done a VolUp+Down+Cam+power hard reset, and when I plug into PC Zune says setup needs completing (so it has reformatted) but still no luck.

I cant see anything fried, and no damaged ribbons as far as I can see, any ideas?
[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
I sold the phone a while ago, and never solved the problem. I think it's a firmware issue.
[Optimus 7 General] JosipoGo:
hi.

What do you mean "somethimes if I press power button"?

Is it pressed with purpose to lock the phone, press it to turn off phone (background slider shows to power off - on Mango and beyond version) or press it accidentally?

Cheers.
[Optimus 7 General] prelud:
So, I did a phone reset. Unfortunately the issue is still present!

Sometimes when I press the power button to unlock the phone the screen is lit, but stays blank i.e. no lockscreen wallpaper, no nothing. The same happens sometimes when I get a phone call - the phone rings and vibrates, the screen is lit but stays blank.

When this happens I have to press the power button to put the phone into sleep mode and press it again to wake it up.

What I found is, when the issue occurs the screen is actually responsive. For example I can slid up and unlock the phone then I hear the unlock "pop" sound. It's just that nothing is drawn on it!

I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same behavior and found a resolution. Also I am not sure if this is a software or a hardware problem. If I could confirm it was a hardware problem I would call LG and have the phone repaired or replaced.
[Optimus 7 General] billybrown:
i have exactly the same issue as you, it gets really annoying.

i heard from someone online that the only way to resolve it is to replace the motherboard
[Optimus 7 General] prelud:
I am pretty certain this is a hardware issue. I am calling LG tomorrow and hopefully they'll take the phone for repair/replacement.
[Optimus 7 General] prelud:
I sent my phone for repair. Today I got it back, and guess what?!

The issue is still present! It seems, they "couldn't reproduce" or something.

What should I do now?

EDIT: If anyone is interested, here is a video I just captured which clearly demonstrates the problem. http://youtu.be/38kF9RYs_bU

I'm sending the phone back for repair tomorrow with this video attached.
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
Hey, might not be an issue at all, but in the video, I saw that the two times you were able to get it to go blank you had your finger on or near the proximity sensor. I wonder if there is something that could be the trigger.

Just wondering if you can duplicated it or cause it only when you have the proximity sensor blocked, or if it truely is random.
[Optimus 7 General] prelud:
You are right, it might has something to do with the proximity/light sensor.

On the other hand, this issue occurs even on incoming calls when the phone is placed on a table, screen up and nothing around the sensor.

Today, I visited my local carrier shop and left the phone for repair again. They told me, since this is a second claim they'll run it through the process faster, so I expect to get it back next week.

Will post an update.

UPDATE: My phone was replaced. Yesterday I got a brand new unit, yeah! It was stock wp 7.0. I plugged in my sim and used the phone the whole day, no sign of blank screen issues. Last nigh I installed all the updates (total 5 I think) up to OS 7.10.8107.79, FW 1.0.16.10. Guess what?! Same issue!

I am crushed
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny4:
Ok, I have had a Sprint supplied Nexus S 4G, they replaced my Epic 4g with this because I went through 3 Epics in 4 months. There are more than a few odd issues and i'll list them.

1. 4g will not connect even after restarting phone, the Epic always worked in the same spots and it has the latest prl.

2. the whole outside 1/4 inch of the screen seems to not register my fingers.

3. The battery is horrible compared to the Epic, I am running the exact same apps on both and during a movie tonight the battery dropped 30% while not being used and in airplane mode, I would only use 10% to 15% with the Epic.

Has anyone else had these issues or is mine broken? If i take it back to sprint should I demand that they give me an Epic back or another Nexus? If this is normal for the Nexus s 4g then I would like my Epic back. I mean my Epic's weren't rooted so they were probably running more apps than the Nexus in reality. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:

Is it possible to switch main, Gmail emails without having to restore factory settings and open another account?

If not, no problem, I am rooted and will just flash another ROM. I was going to anyway.

Then I have another question, if you could answer whether I need to do this or not. If I need to use another email, I will have to download each app from the market won't I.

Even if I backup on Astro or another app, is there a way to bring it over to my new Gmail ID. ...or like I would import a contact file into email. Can a list of apps be exported like to a .csv, .*** type file, then imported into an account, or app which then would restore them?

Thanks so much

If you have flashed the hboot correctly, just enter recovery and flash a Rom that supports cm7r2 hboot such as cool3d roms

I had installed aurora v3 rom which support cm7/r2 hboot. Can I just install another hboot in these case bravostockhboot from thread I mentioned?

My hboot however says im on CM7/r2 hboot...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
So you were using Aurora with stock hboot, then flashed cm7r2 hboot, now your phone stays at the splash screen?

If Aurora was working fine with stock hboot that means you had flashed "ROM converter" from the thread. Now that you've flashed a different hboot you'll have to reflash the rom because by flashing the "ROM converter" it is set up for stock hboot only.

Flash Aurora again but don't flash the "ROM converter" this time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked245:
Correct. I flash aurora rom again but it the same. What should i do now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
How long are you giving it to boot? I've not tried Aurora myself but seen some people saying it can take up to 15/20 minutes for it to boot.

About 10 minutes... i will try to give it more.

My hboot version is 6.93.1002 is this correct one for cm7/r2?

Coolexe's ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040121

Suggestions...

1) Make sure you have all of the zips you want on your sd card before you begin. You'll need the ROM zip (obviously) also the weather pack zip.

You might also want any of the extra's available (second post on the thread)...Personally use "Dalvik.cache to SD EXT", "Usual UOT Jazzk% battery + flying windows animation & TP2W + TP2U" and "RC Team tweaks".

I would also flash a new kernel at this point but it's not essential (can be done later).

2) Reboot into recovery and full wipe. "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and then "advanced/wipe dalvik cache".

3) Install zip from sd card...

Flash ROM zip

Flash weather pack zip

Flash Dalvik.cache to SD EXT zip

Flash any extra's

(Flash kernel if you have a new one).

4) Reboot system now.

5) Go have a coffee, watch some tv etc... Give it time to do it's thing.

6) Enjoy

Let me know how it goes.

EDIT: Just saw you got it working. Enjoy.

Hi,

I've been trying to view some Video Lectures in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500/16Gb) and I get this error:

"Your version of Flash, 0.0.0, is not supported. Flash version 10.0.0 or later is required. To view the videos, please, upgrade to latest version of Flash.

Alternatively, you can try the HTML5 player, which only has basic features. In particular, you will not be able to view the in-video quizzes. The video speed buttons will also be disabled."

The version that I have in my device is Adobe Flash Player 10.3.186.7, the Android version is 3.1, the Base Band version is P7500XXKG7, Kernel version is 2.6.36.3 and the compilation is HMJ37 P7500XWKG9.

Does anyone know why I do get this error? It seems that the video I'm trying to see doesn't find the version of Flash Player and it says that the version is 0.0.0.

On the other hand, I can see other kind of videos without problem, in fact the same video in my computer (laptop) works fine. These videos are Video Lectures provided by Stanford University, so I'm not talking about videos made in low conditions whatsoever...

If you have any solution for this issue...
