[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott8281:
You might want to try reinstalling the drivers, I use an apple computer & they dont require those drivers so i cant be much help there. Here's another link to check out. Pete Alfonso makes roms from the Nexus S and has the original signed software images for the Nexus S 4g and some other stuff that might help you... http://download.peteralfonso.com/crespo4g
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberSquid:
Hmm, looking at his site, he has quite a lot of good stuff, most of it requires a non-stock recovery though. The Nexus S 4G (When it came out), was running 2.3.4, in contrast to the normal Nexus S. I wonder, Since my phone is currently reading on a GSM rom/radio, could I flash the phone to 2.3.3 (Android 2.3.3/GRI40/XXKB1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader), use gingerbreak to gain SU, install CWM, and possibly flash back to a proper baseband and rom from there? Or is that really looking at mucking things up?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott8281:
I wouldnt flash any rom with a bootloader not made for your phone.

Tried all 3 of those, they state the following:

-- Install /sdcard/Download ...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I believe all 3 of those are expecting you to be on the prior android version, and when it sees that you are not, it fails.

Well crap! im officially out of ideas... Best of luck to you, Im certain that with your phone able to boot into bootloader that its fixable

Ahh, well thanks anyway for trying to assist! :D Anyone else have ideas on how to fix this, or anyone else experience this before?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberSquid:
Assuming I cannot recover this, as it is slowly looking fairly unrecoverable, does anyone have a recommended JTAG service (Preferably in the US)? I'm not aware of any around my area. I did see a few online, but I'm unsure as to how trustworthy any of them are...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranyan:
Did you try the roms listed here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

Hmm. Without fastboot its tough to flash a rom, Did you try the factory data reset option in your settings, IS it showing error?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
you're lucky i just did this last week.

seems that jerk flashed a gsm radio to that phone.

what you'll need to do is ODIN the phone to flash the CDMA radios back. you can find that HERE just follow the steps in that program and then you should be booting 2.3.4.

from there take the updates from sprint to get back to 2.3.7.

something about flashing a gsm radio hosed the MEID of my new phone, so keep that in mind. you may need to repair it afterwards before you can use it on sprint.

if you need help get back with me but that program should do the trick for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberSquid:
Tried those; those were the ones listed on Peter Alfonso's Site (Who I assume is BuglessPete? Like I said, I'm new in this section :) ). Unfortunately the Odex/Deodex require signature verification to be off, and the other updates are only partial updates, so they make the presumption you are on the prior Android revision, and promptly fail signature verification if you are not, so yeah unfortunately none of those had worked :/

Thanks much - I downloaded the program, ran setup.exe, installed all of it (Wow, this looks familiar from way back when I had a Samsung Moment, lol.). Threw the phone into download mode and waited. Unfortunately, it went downhill from here - It just sits there stating "Detect Port...", and shows disconnected. In Windows, under device manager, I went to view>devices by connection, then expanded out to my USB Port Hub. I don't show any devices there. So it seems that my phone is simply not being picked up by my computer - I did verify the USB cable I had was a data cable, and not a charge-only cable. And while hard to see them, the pin connectors in the charging port on the phone look good.

When I go into download mode (Or fastboot, for that matter), it shows the following on the screen, which I think is part of the cause of this issue:

"USB Control Init"

"USB Control Init End"

These happen right after one another. I'm not really sure why the USB controller wouldn't be working in this case, but I think whomever had the phone before me (in an attempt to fix an issue), decided to restore this phone back to stock using the I9020T files. I believe the Nexus S GSM variant may have a different USB controller in it, which is causing the drivers to malfunction on the CDMA variant, but I could be wrong. I haven't seem something like this occur before, lol.

Its an odd error, and looking online, some others who had it just had a bent usb port, but mine appears to be good, and all 5 pins look A-OK.

(Also, as a side note: Man, look a the viewing angles on that thing in the second shot, you can still see the error from the first pretty clearly. That is awesome.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
In download mode it should show up as a Samsung diag modem or something like that.

I'll bet it's your cord or usb port on your PC. Can you try a different port or cable?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberSquid:
Tried different ports (And different computers, My linux box is the same) - I have also been through 3 different cords trying this. - That message comes up immediately, even if there is no USB cable connected.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] phidung3721:
Hey guys,

My phone keeps rebooting and says that I have blank SD card after I installed new roms. At first I thought the rom caused it but then when I installed a different rom even stock rom, the problem is still there. Is it because of a bad root?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Hmm no that doesnt seems like a root problem.

1.- What ROM you installed when it all started?

2.- Did you installed a new Modem, Kernel or another kind of mod? Some ROMS are only compatible with 1 kernel e.g MIUI

3.-You tried this:

good morning! thank you sincerely for reading this. do any of you have fruit ninja on the kind fire? i have it on the iphone and this version on the fire is stretched out a bit horizontally. does anyone have that issue too? THANKS!
[Kindle Fire General] webmastertroi:
Yes, I have Fruit Ninja. I copied the apk from my Galaxy S and put it on the kindle... no joy. It's funny too because I hadn't tried to open it on the kindle until I read your post here lol.

At any rate, I simply uninstalled it, went to the Google (not Amazon) Market and redownloaded it. Once it installed it played beautifully. :)

I downloaded the full version from another market..... Can't say which one though. Plays just as good as the app on my SGS II.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tito17182:
I got my note and it is really great but the camera is very bad I think it is a matter of configuration, because the Colours are very poor in the photos and the contrast very low
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
Ahem, I would return that unit, take a look at this picture taken yesterday, all default values on camera, untouched, uploaded directly from phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mohdalmr:
Hello,

First of all, be sure that you are using the 8MP / 3264x2448 resolution.

Second, clean the camera, Maybe there is a fingerprint or dust on it.

And lets see how it goes with you =)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
off topic, but I only noticed today (after 2 weeks of ownership) that there is a transparent plastic film over the lens which I never spotted when I unboxed it. I've taken quite a few photos and I had not noticed any quality issues - in fact I was very pleased with the crisp clear images it was producing.

I'm actually considering leaving the film in place for now as it protects the lens (which is otherwise pretty exposed). I figure that until I start to notice image problems due to the film getting roughed up, it's doing no real harm :-) I guess I should really try the cam with the film removed to see what photos are *meant* to look like before I decide on that course of action though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hogun:
The camera works best with abundant light. The outdoor picture posted earlier in this thread looks great for a cellphone camera. However my indoor pic with low light and no flash is grainy and lacks contrast.

Pic here: imgur . com/3w2wi
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
You can not expect good non-grainy pictures in low-light from any camera that it's smaller than a SLR. It's a fundamental law of nature (quantum variations and Poisson distribution of photons). You need a big sensor and big lens to capture more light, something you are not going to get on a phone.

But the camera is good for daylight and captures colors very well (oversaturated, but you can lower that and get a more natural look).

Just to add some numbers, check this image from Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SensorSizes.svg

Most superzoom / cheap cameras have 6 mm wide sensors. The biggest you're going to find on a compact (retractile lens) camera is 8 mm. Big cameras use APS-C (23 mm wide).

A cellullar phone has 1 mm-wide sensor. Galaxy Note camera has 8 mpixels, but each pixel is hundreds of times smaller than the ones on a SLR. So much more noise. This can NOT be solved in any way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
How did the nokia n8 solve it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yslee:
By using a 1/1.83" sensor; almost the same size as the sensor found in well-regarded compact cameras like the Panasonic LX3/5, the Olympus XZ-1, the Canon G12, S90, S95, and S100.

Lol yeah the only way to upgrade hardware is to get a newer EVO and yes doing that would leave you with an unrooted EVO because you would have a different phone but there's really no reason to get another EVO just for a newer hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
If you rooted with unrevoked forever, then any kind of firmware/software updates you do *theoretically* should not affect your S-OFF. I don't think revolutionary obtains s-off with the same methods so firmware/software updates should not be applied "ota"

Took my galaxy nexus back to phones 4u my phone had the yellow tint which was a fault in the s2 lack of flash a big one for me the phone not having flash for me was a no no.

No front camera will ever have flash and why do you need adobe flash? Is it because you can't visit your pron sites?

Are people really buying it for face unlock? That's the least compelling ics feature if you ask me.

@matt no u can not download flash player for the market the phone does not support flash!!!! yh i kno
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
I don't think flash is currently supported on galaxy nexus, not at the moment anyway. But why would you want flash, flash is dead especially for mobile devices. Adobe have even stated that they are giving up on it.

If websites don't change to HTML5 video then they reducing half there market on mobile and tablets so eventually they all will. 95% of my regular sites already do that so its not an issue for me.

With regards a step up from the SGS2 it is when you bear in mind the display is awesome, NFC when it gets big in UK and its a developer phone. If you aren't going to use those features or be ahead of the crowd in terms of software then stick with your S2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
A person not knowing something in Phones4U doesn't surprise me :rolleyes: Surely the lack of flash is a mute point, the SG2 will be getting ICS at some point and if Adobe don't support ICS then you ain't going to be getting flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Here is a quick picture, it does have a slight hue of yellow compared to some of the other types of displays, but the in reality it isn't that bad. The SGS2 has a far greater blue hue when you compare them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I didn't know that about flash, sorry.

I wonder, is it because Adobe needs to update the app for 4.0?

Also, to whoever said "why would you want flash? flash is dead?" That is a silly statement. Flash is not dead, it is all over the web. There is tons and tons of flash content on the web. Just because Adobe is not going to continue developing it for mobile does not mean all of that content just disappears or is suddenly available in other formats.

The lack of Flash player till yesterday was the Reason N.1 to have fun of iPhone users by Android users.

Now that we know this about Nexus, Flash Player has suddenly become unuseful, obsolete, a dead standard...

The whole web has flash parts into any single web page. It'n not only porn, c'mon. Why now can't I watch streaming movies, series or tv progs like I usually do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
I like these kinds of posts. Gives a comprehensive, opposing view, with truth at its core, and a sprinkle of awesome on top ^.^

It's not something that we care, if your only web/browsing experience with Flash is related to porn sites.
