[Nexus S Android Development] Chris Boyer:
I have been using all day with minimal problems. What if any information can I provide that would be helpful. Also, thank you for your work.
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
Hm. Did that but no luck. Which DNS did you use? And who is your carrier?
[Nexus S Android Development] xqz:
Confirming this works on Rogers network. Props amperman
[Nexus S Android Development] amperman:
208.67.222.123

208.67.220.123

I'm from Russia, and the carrier is MTS
[Nexus S Android Development] xqz:
I used openDNS. First DNS that wasn't Google in the program set DNS
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
Hm. Exactly what I did. Still no luck! Did you use a custom APN? Or just the default? I've changed my APN so many times trying to get this to work I have no idea what to put it as.. Haha.
[Nexus S Android Development] rentaric:
If you copied over the apn list from CM then you can "restore default" apn.

Open build.prop in text editor in root explorer and add 2 strings:

net.dns1=208.67.222.123

net.dns2=208.67.220.123

works for me without wifi and setdns app.
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
Aha! Got it working! Kind of. It works in the browser. But seems like some of the apps still think there's no internet even though it works, and there's no bar for it in the status bar like there is for wifi. But it works! Haha. I used a custom T-Mobile US APN I got by reading the "apns-conf.xml" and I used set DNS while on wifi to change my DNS to openDNS. Now back on mobile data it works like a charm! Thanks guys!
[Nexus S Android Development] xqz:
I actually kept the APNs that I initially added to make my mobile data work. So the steps I followed were:

1. Add APNs specific to your carrier

2. Copy the two files apns-conf.xml and resolve.conf (I rebooted after this step to see if it would work but it didn't)

3. Download set DNS from market with wifi

4. Change DNS from Google to openDNS

5. Turn off wifi and check if connection works.

edit: didn't see your new post. glad to see everything is working for you
[Nexus S Android Development] newspeak:
So I modified build.prop with the Google DNS ...still can't get talk to work but the browser has data at least

Titanium Backup won't batch restore apps on this, probably the app is still incompatible but that's a deal breaker for me.

[Nexus S Android Development] mils69:
funny... his last post says this:

"-GPS is now more accurate, but is still not 100% fixed"

and this:

"-GPS is not fully accurate but is working close enough for now. Mine gets as close to 15 to 30 meters close. It usually finds me in mine neighborhood."

now forgive me for being cynical.. but that's a joke..

alright so he's probably confusing Maps with GPS.. but the GPS ain't "more accurate".. it's nonexistent

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

and the point of sharing your opinion with people who ARE interested in flashing this 'buggy beta' is?

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

consider it done ;-)

drew's response: "i never said that gps is fully working yet. it will work in the future"
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
I kinda agree with you guys here. The point is not to get everything working. The point is to get everything working with stability. Things may work here and there or immacurately, but that doesn't mean they actually work. For example: GPS

But not trying to criticise his work, definately he worked hard on this rom. However, he has some serious attitude. As if no one goes beyond him and he's the master.

The very first post of this thread, and that Drew Garen did not write it.

And then this link that is in some ones sig. Click Me

This thread should be locked again. Some people cannot control themselves.
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
by the way as a beggar i'm not complaining.

i'm happy enough using his ROM until proper ICS ROM is available for Nexus S. I can live with whatever shortcomings in current ROM.

for GPS, i always use my nexus one since my nexus s GPS almost impossible or took forever to get a fix unless i open battery cover.
[Nexus S Android Development] cttttt:
Its not very charitable to strictly expect something in return for a donation, especially when you actually got and continue to get things in return :-)

But...because you asked for it: Thanks mils69! Good job! You're a good person.

We have as much reason to thank you as Drew. Possibly more: He pays you back with improvements to the ROM, even though more than a few users here complain about it as if he didn't make it clear it's an SDK port. And besides...he's probably busy making things work (in the ROM and in his real life and job).

On that note it's pretty funny, some of these complaints. For example, corporate email. You're letting your career ride on a self motivated dude making a largely immutable SDK work as a ROM in his spare time? Why not just wait for the official version if you need your phone for work? Its like ditching your workstation and bringing in a Mac Classic, then complaining for months to Apple that it doesn't work with your company's wifi. Really?

Anyways, thanks again mils69! You're a good person.

[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Yes. It is in violation of XDA rules. If Bugless Pete's thread was shut down for not having proper change logs among other things this one for sure should be. It is not even Drew"s thread.

[Nexus S Android Development] Roland27:
Perhaps I'm way off, I will admit I haven't read this thread for a few days. but anway, I haven't flashed since B3 because basically what I see that was originally broken in this rom from the start is still broken? I did use B3 for a day, and everything worked fine for me, but i had no GPS. So what's changed in the last 9 builds that I'm not understanding?
[Nexus S Android Development] fineazbro:
i agree ;nothing has been fix..since beta 3..same old staff
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_fitter:
Whaaaaaaaaaa Wha wha Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. This is an SDK <port> in beta...not an rc, not a release. Things might not work...get over it. The fact that it's come this far is pretty amazing.

Ever build from source? Ever make an SDK port? No? Then STFU. This guy is doing this in his free time. He also has a life outside of android like the rest of us. Cut him some slack.

You want a fully functional build? Try building yourself or hacking the google servers and busting their encryption....otherwise your just going to have to tough it out or wait.

Rant over.

P.S. When you are building from source....especially a port......you compile to fix one thing, and other things break, just the way it is. There is no source to work from or a proper bootloader.
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
Hmm, in beta6 wifi was working for me, so now in beta12 it won't?
[Nexus S Android Development] fromthestars:
to avoid any confusion. My wifi works in both b11 and 12
[Nexus S Android Development] rentaric:
First the files missing to fix BT and GPS were simply not there, when the GN dump popped up Drew decided to rather work on porting that one properly then fix a beta which is redundant the moment the dump works on the NxS.

Some ppl whining here like they have to rely on this beta SDK port.
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_fitter:
Exactly my point. If it's too problematic for you....don't use it. Problem solved. You have a Nexus S that is confirmed to get the update. If this isn't working for you, then wait a week or 2 or 3.

Now, unlike others here...I'll stop spamming this up with useless crap, lol.

[Nexus S Android Development] mils69:
Yes, su working as expected.
[Nexus S Android Development] nooganator:
I'm in no way a dev of any sort. but I have been following this thread since the beginning. the op has good intentions on making this thread, but there are certain people who are ruining this discussion for everyone else. I find myself going through pages of crap before finding any useful. Of course things aren't going to work because it's a sdk port . If you need your corporate email to function for example, then there are other Roms you can use without you having ***** and complain about someone else's hard work.

To the person who asked about su, its been working for me so far in b12. I have restarted a few times and its hasn't been asking me for permissions on apps that I'm using.

I look forward to the progress of this thread and the success that drew is having.

-Updated Bluetooth, may work on some devices.

-Updated PhaseBeam, better tap to beam.

-Updated Superuser, fixed!

[Nexus S Android Development] mad_fitter:
OK, the change in the signal icon is completely normal. When the \ goes away its because network data is turned off, because its not needed when wifi is on.

The GPSD is the broken GPS. He knows about it....its a kernel issue.

As far as why your wifi isn't connecting, I can't answer that. Mine works fine. He knows there are issues there too.

I'm not being a **** here, but this is just for everyone's info: Drew is making a port that covers more than just one device (technically). There are....what, 5 or 6 different versions of this phone (Rogers Canada, T-Mobile, AT&T, Korean, etc....). All of them are just a little different, so this being an SDK port, this stuff is bound to happen.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031760

Yes, it's frustrating....some things work great for one guy, yet worth a **** for the guy next to him. Not much we can do except let him know what's wrong, or if you know how to code......throw out some ideas.

Here's how I know: I think I might be 1 of about 4 people who have the actual boot.img from the original leak. I would share, but its useless.....and I don't want too ;). It will not boot with either sdk version or the galaxy nexus dump. That's how screwed up this whole process really is. What we have right now is one hell of an accomplishment in my book.

Sit back and enjoy the show folks....I'm just curious to see if he can beat Google or not, lol. Seen this same stuff happen with many devices ;)
