[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefangedkanga:
Hey all,

I am purchasing a Nexus S4G for Sprint this week, I am currently using a Epic 4g. When looking around here, I see that the Nexus S, and the Nexus S4G have different development sections. I noticed that the regular Nexus S has much more activity and development.

My question is this, does that mean that the Nexus S4G has less? Or does it just mean that the Nexus S gets something developed, and then it is easily ported to the 4G version?

For example, I see the ICS SDK port is very active and being worked on over in the Nexus S area, but not really in the 4G side.

Is there a general timeline from something getting developed on the regular side, before it gets adjusted for the 4G version? Any info would be great!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Well, the reason for this is, the Nexus S(GSM) is a worldwide phone. The Nexus S 4G is Sprint only. Less people have it, so less development on it. It is a sweet little phone though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
plus, some stuff is cross compatible, like custom kernels. most work on both nexus s and ns4g. its mostly only roms that are for separate devices.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefangedkanga:
So does that mean that Roms don't get ported at all? As in, are the developers completely different?

Because its a smaller base, is the community slower at things? Such as CM9 for example, whenever it comes out, will it take much longer then the GSM version?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
The dev doing the ICS port for the 4g said he was going to be busy for a couple days. The port for the other nexus' wouldn't be where it is if it wasn't for the development that happened on the 4g.

[DEV][ROM] ICS Port {01/11/2011} | Beta 8

Hi,

I apologize if I have posted my question in the wrong place. I am a new user and this is my first post. I tried to post my Q in the appropriate development thread but XDA asked me to post in the general Q&A instead so I am here.

I have a Nexus S and I want to upgrade my ROM to ICS ROM as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313337

My question is: is this ICS ROM (Beta 8, linked above) applicable to all Nexus S models or just some? I have a I9023 model (with SLCD Screen), does that meet the requirement of the ICS ROM Beta 8?

Thank you very much!

Does anyone else have issues connecting to a hidden network with wpa encryption on CM7? I was able to connect at my work just fine with every Sense rom, but on CM7 i'm not having any luck. I've tried a couple market apps that advertise helping this issue, but none worked.

I've done some searching, but haven't found a fix. Other people have mentioned this problem on other devices, but nothing recent..

Anyone else experiencing this or know a work around?
[EVO 4G General] crimsondrac:
Hi Guys,

I recently canceled my Sprint account and now I find myself with a paperweight that looks a lot like an Evo 4g. I was thinking about throwing another stck of RAM in it and start using it strictly as a media player for MP3s and maybe some video. I was wondering if there are any ROMs geared towards using an Evo in this manner? Meaning, disabling the service activation screens, searching for service pauses, etc. I have seen a few other articles on this subject but not really any solutions. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] carlosraf20:
I will recommend the CM ,I have it in a Nook color and is awesome.

plus is very configurable and you can make it look more like a media player or mini tablet then a phone.

Hi guys, im currently using MIUI Rom,

I wonder if there is a way to change the time it takes to lock and prompt for a password. I mean, i like the screen turning off at 30 sec of inactivity, but i want it to ask for password at 10 mins of inactivity, is that possible?

Or is there a way i can reactivate the slide keyboard to unlock without password?

Thanks!

Hello,

Before buying my Samsung Galaxy S Plus I read on several sites that the hull will be metal (unlike the Galaxy S that has the plastic).

Out on my Galaxy S Plus hull is exactly the same as on a Galaxy S.

Note that I live in France.

Is what it is like for you?

thank you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
Curious if anyone has found a way to adjust the brightness of the touch buttons?

I like how they light up and I like how its only for like 1.5 seconds... but the brightness is crazy if your in a dark room!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Canesfan:
I just turn them off completely. That way I dont get caught at work like I did on my vibrant. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
Yah that is what I have done myself.. but even if you could drop the brightness by say 75% would be nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gotshoaib:
I noticed it was too low on regular galaxy s2 (i9100) , so probably samsung increased it on this one,

and now its too bright.

but i like this one bright.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unfaix:
I would love to have my back light dimmed down to like 25% or maybe 50% as I do a lot of reading at night before i sleep and I turn the screen brightness down to zero.

It's pretty good in a dark room in bed, but the buttons is freaking annoying and too bright.

And having the button light off isn't very useful since I press the back button all the time and always miss.

And during the day, 100% brightness on the button serves no purpose since you can still see the button with out any light on.

I would love it if any developers could take a look into this request?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vw671:
The HTC Amaze only turns on the LED's if it's dark enough, I wish the Galaxy S2 would also do this as it would save a bit of battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drexvil:
The Screen Filter app lowers the screen's brightness and can also turn off the button light. I can't post a link yet due to my newbie status, but search for it on the Market.

bump so I dont have to make a new thread:

BUT today in a tmobile store I noticed the Black t989 had at least double the brightness of the touch buttons compared to my White t989...Anyone else notice this??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Its probably just because the black background is more of a contrast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Unless I'm mistaken our phones cannot adjust the brightness of those buttons regardless of ROMs (cm or otherwise). I'm pretty sure we only have one led board that only controls on or off (hence why you can only have all them on or all of them off, not just light individual ones). Cm might have those settings but it's because cm is made for many different phones and some phones might have the ability to adjust the brightness but not ours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 96shox:
DEFINITELY not the reason why. It was significantly brighter on the black t989

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tribalvision:
Is there a way to turn off the audible tone for when you plug the charger into the phone? I searched the forum and the E4GT forum and couldnt find anything close. I come home late at night from work and it's pretty loud when I plug it in . Don't want to wake the wifey.

tried looking all over phone for a setting. the only thing that will turn it off is to silence the phone. but then I cant hear if the phone rings. I have my work phones transferred to me at night so I need the ringer on.

thanks in advance

Thanks for the link. I dont know why my 2 searches came up with nothing pertaining my problem. Anyhow. Since I am new to the Android and smart phones in general, I am not yet comfortable rooting my phone. It is my personal work phone and I dont want to take a chance in bricking it since I've never done it before.

I'm assuming there is no other method to mute this besides rooting.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drjby4:
I'm hoping someone can answer these questions revolving around what probably is a bad digitizer.

Took phone apart to tighten slide screws and clean LCD, so it was essentially stripped all the way down. My digitizer is now unresponsive.

A) I tried to get some pieces of dust off the inside of the digitizer. How resilient is this surface to being touched with a lens cloth? I was told I could clean this too, but the more I think about it, it must be capacitance, so perhaps fogging it with my breath and wiping it down is not advised.

B) What cables could affect this? My phone turns on, receives calls and the buttons seem to work, though it has a pattern lock, so testing is limited. Of course the black cable/ribbon that comes from the digitizer not being connected could cause this. Could the small ribbon going to the alligator clip cause this? How about the large ribbon cable given that all else "seems" to work?

C) Word of advice. If you work on your phone, don't be an idiot like me- take your screen lock off first.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UncleMike1:
I've tried about 3 diff. versions of GB on my SGS4G and have noticed the same problems from one to the next. The first problem is the low volume on the 1st ring. Another problem is the calls going straight to VM or at least after the first ring. The last is the call log and notification bar not showing missed calls. Are these normal issues with GB or am I special? I've read other posts in diff. phone forums via searching and people have mentioned it, but nothing in this forum. If there are not any fixes I'll probably return to FROYO. Its always boggled my mind reading these forums and trying out diff. roms on my phone. I usually end up with more problems than I had to start with after flashing diff. roms. Much respect to all of the devs for the time they spend on making new roms but, if the roms are going to be spotty, why bother releasing them? I don't know, maybe its just me. In short I would love to have that BULLET PROOF rom someday. Well, time to stop babbling. Thanks for looking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] -R2:
I think you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the development forum. You're problems are not ones i have personally experienced with sgs4 GB leak roms. Please read the stickied sgs4g Bible and ten commandments.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
This should probably be in Q&A. Regardless, I don't think the problems you're having are normal. I can say I've tried many different ROMs from here and haven't experienced those problems. It may be you need to do a factory data reset or something to try and get it back to normal.

As for GB ROMs, though, they're not official yet so it's difficult to have the expectation of bullet proof. All of the GB ROMs on here are created from leaked versions of the GB ROM from Samsung.

Once they release something official you'll have a more bullet-proof ROM (though not totally...nothing ever is) and the Dev ROMs will be even sweeter.

Best of luck to you, hope you get it figured it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
The low volume is normal for the first ring.I'm surprised no one didn't mention that. You must be new to Samsung. Like previous posters said, read.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UncleMike1:
Is it normal for GB and not Froyo? Because on Froyo the first ring on my phone is loud. If it is a normal thing, it SUCKS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
The last time I remembered froyo had the low first ring too unless you installed a custom froyo ROM with it eliminated
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UncleMike1:
So what ur saying is that its normal for samsung and not any other manufacturer? Because I'm sitting next to somebody right now that has a evo with GB 2.3.3 and their phone has a loud first ring. Hmmmmmmm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UncleMike1:
My phone came right from T-mobile with a loud first ring. And the custom Froyo that I have in it right now does have a loud first ring, but I'm not sure if the rom was altered to make it that way. If the custom rom can be altered to make the first ring loud on froyo, why can't it be done on GB? Just a question.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
Probably because we don't have source for gingerbread. I believe the low first ring its a Samsung only feature. I like the feature because I have time to react before it rings loud especially in a silent environment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
The low first ring may be a sign of a worn out wringer inside the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] redspeed6:
I have noticed the low first ring only with a GB rom... but the other thing I have noticed that with each rom I try - some apps in the market don't show... Example... I am Running GB Audiophile's Beautiful Sgs4g #2 KI3 - And I can't find CBS Sports Football in the market - If I load ICBINB GB, I can find CBS Sports Football in the market... anyone else heard or run into something like this ??

Based on my brief experience, I believe that it perhaps is an issue with custom kernels. Try a completely stock GB build and see what it does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Those types of problems are almost always app related. Figure out what you installed just before you started having problems. Or do a factory reset and add apps slowly, wait to see if it causes problems and then add another one. The GB 2.3.3 and my new 2.3.4 are rock solid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayroam:
this might sound strange, but do you use a case on your phone? If you do, take it off and see if you still get the random reboots, frozen screens, etc. All of that was happening to my phone both stock and on the weapon g2x rom because the case would make the phone overheat

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I think it's just to that point that there definitely is a bad batch of these phones. So many people are having the same exact problem, I highly doubt it's software problem or even user error problem such as apps.

Most likely a hardware defect somewhere along the build process. Call TMO and ask for an exchange. If it's been more than 3 exchanges they'll probably ask you if you want a different phone.

my device was rooted already when i bought it.

I downloaded rom manager premium and when i try to install clock work mod, it asks me if it's a "samsung galaxyS i9000 or i9000 (MTD)". which do i choose?

when i choose the MTD version it says "samsung galaxys i9000 (MTD) does not have an official supported clockworkmod recovery yet. have you installed a cwm based recovery manually?" when i choose "no" it then says "sorry rom manager will not work"

I'm basically wanting to install custom roms or themes and use wifi tether, none of which are working right now.

also, i AM new to this stuff. I have only rooted my old evo4g in the past.
