[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bytecode:
So,basically I am asking a simple question. After which Android release Nexus S is going to lose official support? I don't think it will lose it after ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linus_BE:
It's a great phone, no complaints :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
We don't know that.

However we assume it will lose support whenever it can't handle a version of Android that requires more than it has. ICS will be just fine, and it should not lose support after ICS. And even if it did, a port would most likely be quite easily made.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean1984:
Yes I own nexus s and it is an awesome phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavenlyWinds:
A nexus s is a awesome phone, and yes google will eventually stop releasing updates for it. But if you dont have the money to buy a Motorola Razr or a Glaxy Nexus, the Nexus S is a great buy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climhz:
i'm very satisfy with nexus s battery life and a lot of developers support it, you should buy it if you are as poor as me :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valtonray:
I upgraded to the nexus s from a kyocera echo(which could have been a good phone had kyocera released a recovery and it had some dev support.) and I've loved it since I got it. It's definitely a great phone and imo the best one in it's price range.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinopski:
buy it. quality pure google phone. very satisfied user here.:rolleyes:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwwel:
Google has been asking for Android partners to go for *AT LEAST* an 18 month release cycle for its models, so that would mean that you'd get official updates up to about May/June 2012. They've never said explicitly they'd support the Nexus S for 18 months, but I think it's safe that they'd hold themselves to at least the same standards they want their partners to be. There's many articles online about the 18-months cycle, for example here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-clarifies-18-month-android-upgrade-program-details-far-f/

Now as to whether to buy the phone or not, I'd say go for it. I've had a ton of Android phones, including ones considered top of the line at some point of other, sgs2, lg 2x, you name it I've had it for at least two weeks. I love the Nexus' form factor, its weight, the amount of development that goes on and most of all, I LOVE that the stock rom is pure Android. The curved screen, in my opinion, is the most beautiful feature on the phone and I'd only swap this phone for a Galaxy Nexus.

290 is a damn good price. Go for it. Resale prices are also quite decent by the way, check ebay for used phones, they seem to sell for around 200-250 eur at the moment, and with them being among the first phones to get ICS, I doubt that will change that much.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:
I agree, it's an awesome, fast and stable phone, but if you got the money for it, you definitely want to buy a Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
The Nexus S is the first phone I've ever had where a successor was released and I didn't care a whit. I love this phone and am totally satisfied with it in every way. I can't wait to play with it with ICS loaded.

It's the perfect size for my hand, battery life and general performance are great, it runs all the software that I want, and is just a good-looking phone. The GNex may be most of these things as well (it's too big IMHO and battery life remains to be seen) but there's nothing driving me towards upgrading from my current phone.

If you don't care about upgraded hardware and can be happy with "last gen" technology, the Nexus S IMO is the best bang for your buck. It'll be supported for a long time to come if the generally favorable feeling its users seem to have towards it continues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bytecode:
Ok,I may be buying it. But I'm still not sure:

No HDMI

No Dual-Core

No FM Radio (i heard somewhere it works with cm7 and miui)

Secondary camera is only 0.3 MPx.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
By the time the Nexus S "loses official support", you'll want something else, anyway.

EDIT: I just picked one up for $150 from local classifieds. Couldn't be happier.

P.S:I am from hong kong and my desire z is also bought in hong kong, I wonder if there are any differences
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
The rom you flashed is not for the Desire Z. It is a Desire HD rom (different phone all together) and I'm not entirely sure how you even got it to boot. Anyway try flashing a rom that is for the Desire Z/G2, you can find them here on XDA in the G2/Desire Z development forums or you can download Rom Manager from android market and download them through that app

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s09227:
Erm, actually this rom is ported to DZ by adakaya1994 (check carefully pls)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
My apologies, you're right. Well the problem is still similar being a port of a rom without a keyboard and for a different phone there is gonna be broken features, so I would suggest maybe a rom built from a DZ/G2 source. Again, sorry about that, I hadn't had my coffee before I read your post. Good luck :D

Sent from my Bulletproof G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s09227:
Well there aren't any broken features now,and it is in fact brilliant:) and I like its sound output very much. I have also solved the ram issue now

What I want the most is some themes pls
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Well aside from using something like ADW Ex, Launcher Pro or Go Launcher and downloading a theme for whichever one you like, you could always go to UOT Kitchen (Google it) and bake up your own personal theme that's flashable in recovery. I'm sure there are other ways to theme your rom up too, like editing xml's, but those are pretty involved.

If you want to be able to easily customize everything about your rom, perhaps try one of the many miui.us builds floating around for the Desire Z. I've been on tun4fish's Bulletproof Miui build for a month now and I love it.

Sent from my Bulletproof G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s09227:
Well, I've tried bulletproof before and it's not bad,but I found that I am addicted to the sense roms.

Secondly, I already know how to use UOT centuries ago, so I want a rosie theme actually

[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
I have only experienced the screen from the og evo and the qhd on the 3d but the rave seems to be the samsung samoled screen. Those that have have hands on with other screens what is the best looking screen in your opinion? I have spent time with the retina display on the iphone 4 which is nice but is just way too small for me. I have read the super amoled plus is as good as the retina i just havent had hands on time with it. Is it that much better than the 3d's screen?

dual core spped freak
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I've had the Epic 4g (not touch) and the Nexus S 4g, EVO and EVO 3d and I can honestly say the S AMOLED screens have better color than the Evo 3d but I still prefer the Evo 3d screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
I prefer the sgs 2 screen is really good too bad is not 720p cause those phones got some really big screen, so far my favorite definition and screen is the iPhone 4, really make a difference when looking right next to another phone , evo 3d is just wash out for some reason

Sent from my iPhone 4S :P
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
From what I've heard, the lg nova screen is the best screen on the market. I haven't actually seen one though. I thought the sgs2 screen was too cartoony looking.

iPhone 4 was nice but I agree that it was too small. I had one for about 8 months and then went to an atrix. The pentile display was pretty crappy.

[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I like my 3d screem the best. Super amiled looks dark all the time to me and the iphone 4 whites look pink. Maybe i just had 2 bad phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
I am definitely interested in seeing the 720 hd display on the new google phone. I am just amazed how fast phones are progressing. I wish they had a 6 month upgrade plan and even then you would be behind the times. I am still shocked at the camera on the prime though. I know mp arent the only thing that matters but at this point 8 is the standard it seems and many are coming in at 12mp. Hell i remember when phones first got cameras and how awesome everyone thought they were

dual core spped freak
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
I had the Nexus one before and right after I switched to the 3D I noticed the screen wasn't as good as the AMOLED. That being said, after a couple days it wasn't an issue, I only noticed after using it for over a year and immediately comparing it.

Side by side there's a difference but the E3D screen is just fine. I wouldn't base any decisions off the screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] skhong:
EVO 3D screen is good enough for me...

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 AM ----------

iphone screen size is too small... 3.5"
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Super amoled is superior in terms of color, but it is darker than qhd. I personally like the qhd, and even with a side by side comparison to the best screen out there I would never have that be what determines the phone I get
[HTC EVO 3D] Jrex:
I think that samoled is prettier to look at, but I'm happy with the Evo 3d's qhd crispness!
[HTC EVO 3D] alanthemanofchicago:
After having both an AMOLED incredible and an nexus S 4g with a super AMOLED, I couldn't go back.
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
I'm actually more concerned with screen resolution than screen type. After using qHd I could never go back to 800x480.
[HTC EVO 3D] Killadawg7:
This. Especially when using LCD Changer and changing the density to a smaller one..the E3D shines!
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
My friends have the SGSII, NS4G, and Epic 4G. After using their phones I feel like my screen is definitely second-rate, although the qHD aspect of the EVO 3D's screen is soooo incredibly awesome.

The SGSII may be only 480x800, but each pixel also has 3 sub-pixels, so keep that in mind when bashing it's resolution.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
After owning the E3D and now the SGS2, I must say the SGS2 screen just amazes me everytime I look at it. Resolution truly means nothing when comparing these 2 screens.

I do agree that the SGS2 looks more cartoony but I think it just looks more fun because of that. The E3D looks like a much more series screen. The colors on the E3D look extremely washed out when comparing to an Super Amoled Plus Screen. It almost looks like the screen has been sitting out in the sun for months and just faded.....

Speaking of the sun, when outdoors the SGS2 screen can be seen crystal clear as well. It can't even be explained, it is just something you need to see. The screen just cuts through the sun....

You just need to decide what is important to you and go with it. To some the screen means everything, to others not so much.....Either way the SGS2 takes the cake when comparing screens.......
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
SAMOLED by a mile. As for people saying the SAMOLED screens look over-saturated: You're probably just too used to the washed out LCD look. ;) I truly miss my Epic's screen, even with it having a pentile sub-pixel matrix.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Best things about the sgs2 screen is the color depth, the whites and blacks are amazing. The evo3d screen as a lot better resolution, but you get used to it after a few weeks. As far as the oversaturaed look people mentioned , there are different modes in the display settings to adjust the color saturation to your liking.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I try but i just cant see why everybody likes amoled so much. I tried to love my nexus s 4g screen but couldnt handle it. Its so dark, the whites look like they need bleached. I have noticed that the evo3d only looks bad when someone is taking a video of it such as youtube. I do need to spend more time with the samoled plus screen. Im also not buying in the the samsung 3 sub-pixl thing either.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
The screen is different on the sgs2 then it is on the Nexus 4G. On the sgs2 the screen is nice and bright, far from being considered to dark. You really need to see it in person, you cannot base your opinion off of the Nexus 4G, they are different screens.
[HTC EVO 3D] MrTrackZed:
I set my 3D to full brightness, and did the same with my bro's Nexus-S 4G ...we then opened up the first level of Angry Birds RIO since the game has pretty much every color under the sun. The colors on the Nexus were richer, with more contrast...but the smaller details were far far better on the Evo. The most obvious difference was the eyes in the birds. On the Evo they were clearly detailed, you could see the outter and inner eye while on the Nexus it pretty much a blur with some pixelation. Try it out. I also felt the 3D had a second rate screen as well, still do actually, but that was a welcome surprise.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I just downloaded this game on my SGS2 and it looked damn good. Again, you cannot compare the SGS2 screen to the Nexus-S screen. One is Super Amoled and one is Super Amoled Plus.

The EVO 3D should be compared to the SGS2, not the Nexus S.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
This is about screen technology, not phones. Idk the isnt a 100% different technology between super amoled and super amoled plus or they would call it by a different name . I dont have a prob with amoled colors, just the whites. Whites bother me because my text screen and most of my websites are white based. Amoleds also have burn in issues which could be prob with phones because status bars and such dont move much.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
iphone's retina then samsung's samoled+. Honestly HTC's screens suck to me even with qHD but Motorola's are the worst.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Using your analogy, I guess there isn't much difference between an EVO 4G and an EVO 3D, otherwise they would have given it a different name.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Nope higher resolution is about the only thing worth saying. Cant say that about the nexus to the epic touch. Imo the avg user doesnt use the phone on max brightness. I know i use mine on auto and when i used the nexus i felt like that was dim. I know that those are settings and can be changed with root.

[Galaxy Tab General] Earthbrain:
Both tabs indicate that they have the screen resolution of 1024 x 600 resolution. However, the original tab can be either in Froyo or Gingerbread and you can see the whole screen either in the home page or when watching movies.

However, the Galaxy Tab Plus has Honeycomb and the bottom of the screen will be occupied with the home, back, wi-fi logo, time, battery indicator, etc... so that means that it will take up some resolution space. Therefore, when watching a movie, it would not really utilize 1024 x 600.

Is there anyway that you can hide the home, back, wi-fi logo, time and battery indicator in either Honeycomb or even Ice Cream Sandwich ?
[Galaxy Tab General] michadreyer:
in custom-roms for the asus transformer (HC3.2) you are able to hide the status-bar.
[Galaxy Tab General] Kuniokun:
Wow i miss that! I was thinking get a 7 Plus, but know i will get a 7.7 intead for the extra resolution.
[Galaxy Tab General] darkmattar:
the 7.7" is 1280x800 isn't it...? that's better regardless of the status bar.
[Galaxy Tab General] Earthbrain:
But if you buy the Galaxy Tab Plus, I don't think you are able to put in a custom rom yet in order to hide the status bar.

Yesterday, I posted a test version in wpxap.com, and now this is the updated version.

= Step =

Click "Start Capture Task" to start capturing (A timer will start, and during this period, application will listen to Camera button event)

You may need to wait one or several seconds, a message box will show up to let you know you can start catpuring.

Navigate to any application, and touch Camera button to capture the screen

A message box will show if the capturing is success, you can capture 20 images a one time (yes, you can ask for more if you want)

When the Capture Task ends, a Toast will show up to let you save the captured image, tap the Toast to return to application

The thumbnail will list and the captured images will stored in Pictures Hub

Tap the thumbnail will delete the temporary image file in the application folder

= Settings Help =

Prevent Capture Task auto run: Capture Task uses BackgroundAgent to run and wait for Camera button event, BackgroundAgent may auto run in some case, enable this option to stop auto capture.

The Capture Task duration: How long will the Capture Task run before it stop to accept Camera button event.

= Notice =

Game and movie is not supported in this version.

The Capture Task only save temporary file, you need go back to application to trigger saving file to Picutres Hub.

A suggestion from my side:

Let the user decide whether he wants to save the captured image or delete it inside your app.

This means when the user has finished his capture session by pressing "no" go straight back to your app (remove the toast for saving the image). By long-pressing on a captured picture appears a menu:

view (if possible)

delete

save to picture hub

send via sms or email (if possible)
