[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterthegreat:
Love the n00b video.....but searched for days and found nothing similar.

Brand new out of the box Nexus S i9020a running Android 2.3.6 GRK39F (was running 2.3.4 til it got the OTA update). Using a T-mobile SIM from and in Germany.

Issue -- When making phone calls, both parties hear scratchy static type sound that makes the voices sounds like aliens. Sometimes nothing is heard even though the call connected. Speakerphone has the same result.

Observation 1 -- When the phone is turned off and turned back on the initial calls works like normal. Subsequent calls have the issue.

Observation 2 -- When using other calling apps (tango, skype, etc) there is no problem what-so-ever.

Resolution attempts -- Tried putting the phone back to the stock 2.3.4 ROM.

Tried flashing the 2.3.6 ROM as well.

Phone is brand new but a return is not possible. I am still confident it is a software issue but I am a n00b so that's why I ask you guys.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatux:
Could be an issue with the carrier because you stated that this issue doesn't exist with Tango nor Skype.

Best to call up T-Mobile Germany and ask them to investigate your issue.

Good luck,

deltatux
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
things to try/check

try flashing a custom rom to see if this clears the issue

make sure the APNS are correct?

try a new simcard
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterthegreat:
It doesn't happen when using the same service with my SGS or SGS 2 or Tab. That's why I think it's the phone.

Used a US ATT SIM and the problem still occurred.

I will check the APN's when I get home and if that doesn't work then I'll try flashing a Custom ROM.

I will report back my findings. Thanks!

I have one in my signature.

I have only tested it on stock like roms but it is not too hard to do it yourself. Just change the .pngs for the default pic in the contacts.apk.

You could also maybe try changing the whole contact apk but I am not too sure about that in cm7.1

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocinnorcal:
Today, i was going to flash back to stock using odin from a 2.2.1 rom (Bionix Frost update 2) and I accidentally put the pda file in the PHONE tab in odin and started flashing. I pulled the usb cable and the battery. I then re entered download mode and plugged back into odin. Everything came up fine, and I tabbed in the pit and tar files properly this time. The thing is that its is taking hours for it to make any progress. It has been 10 percent for 2 hours now. Did I mess something up, or should I just let it go?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
In for a penney, no way 2 hours, are you ona desktop? my download time is 2 min 40 sec give or take, if you get out be careful how you do it. shut odin down first, then disconnect. pull battery, reenter download. Odin can be funky. as for pda in phone slot, not sure what that did. always triple check before you hit start.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocinnorcal:
Yeah totally my fault for not paying attention. Odin finally finished but failed. It says "complete(write) operation failed"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
The only way is forward, try it again.Did you have repartition checked?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocinnorcal:
Yeah, I use AIO toolbox to open odin, and when I select the two files the re partition box checks itself.

I guess the good news is that it gets into download mode, right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocinnorcal:
Yup, tried again and boom flashed successfully! Thanks for hangin in there with me Sugartibbs ;)

I know that it can be done because the file in system/usr/keylayout or something close to that has the lines in to do this but I can not figure out how to make it work... no matter what I do pressing buttons on the headphones brings up call log and a long press brings up the voice dialer.

The Walgreens in Duluth GA shows wrong location. !!!!
[Android Apps and Games] f8andbethere:
Good to see that you are reporting wrong location to us, we will check that location out shortly. You probably didn't know this due to our lack of instruction in the app, but the app does have a feature where when you are at a location that isn't accurate, you can correct the location on your device.

The way to do it is. 1. Click on the detail of the location(Walgreen), 2 Click on the triangle sign(button). 3. The app will search for a GPS signal and when it lock in, press the fix button. That will send us the right coordinate for that particular location and it will also reflect in your device right away. No need to way for us to correct it. This will also help order people in your area out too :).

I see flags, lot of flags on the map and list, what's wrong? I see some retailer graphic, but lot more flags now!!! Though when i click on flag it shows me a list of retailers and flag next to it. Not as intuitive as having icons. Can you get the retails logo back?
[Android Apps and Games] carlos.joslin:
dumble_bee,

I had this same problem the first time I installed it yesterday. It was in the middle of loading the icons and then my data connection dropped. It left with a bunch of flags and restarting the app didn't help. I found a fix for this, by wiping the catch and data in the setting->management application. Once I did that all the icons came in.

f8andbethere,

Thanks for this pretty useful app. I now know there is a RiteAid store that is closer to the one I normally go to because of this. I will take it for a drive this weekend and will report back.

[Android Apps and Games] dumble_bee:
Did that, helped only partially! i can see bevmo yay! but I still see lot of flags i.e. AutoZone is a blue flag? and so are others...

heeellllppppp...do i have to reset the device to clean it up?
[Android Apps and Games] f8andbethere:
We know about the bug Carlos mentioned and will fix that in our next major release. The work around is what Carlos has described. Go the setting->manage application->you are here->clear cache and data.

dumble bee,

If you are only missing some icons then that is because we are a bit behind on icon creation as we were focus on pushing a lot of new data last week. We will fix it shortly.

You probably saw some local food places with just flags in your area. Those we will probably never fix unless they are very well known.

[Android Apps and Games] f8andbethere:

Pushed some icons last night. Give it a go and let us know if you still have issue. Autozone should be there now.

[UPDATED!]

Thread for Aussies to share Kindle Fire experience. I want eventually to have an ICS rom on this, but I'm no Dev so will need to share learnings.

Goals:

1. DONE - Order Kindle Fire using US Freight Forwarding company (I used www.shipito.com ) and Australian Credit Card

2. Set up and use Amazon.com US services

HELP - my broadband modem is locked so I cannot setup VPN on it - other options being investigated:

a - get VPN & working tun.ko on Fire for VPN on the device (best option)

see How to access android.net.vpn.SETTINGS?

and Kindle Fire tun.ko

b - get adhoc networking working so can run VPN on PC/laptop and then share adhoc wireless network

see [Q] Kindle won't pickup adhoc wireless my phone will??

and [Q] Will Adhoc WIFI be possible with software patching?

c - use a special wirless router to flash VPN on it e.g. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1494723

3. DONE! :) - Root (Dev forum thread

4. Install Google Apps (Dev forum thread)

HELP - Market loads but fails when trying to download any apps.

5. Install alternate launcher

6. Ummm... clockwork recovery and cyanogenmod 9 ICS eventually... :)

e.g. ROMs and DEVs compilation thread

EDIT - Other goals yet to be achieved :)

From the Use Kindle Fire in Europe thread:

How do I VPN to a US IP?
[Kindle Fire General] duquesa:
I’m currently waiting for my kindle to arrive, I´m based in Spain and will be using unblock-us

I currently use this on my apple tv and ipad to view content from both the US and UK that is restricted to me here, this is a big step up from a VPN, it changes your DNS and not your ip address, it works at the same speed as your connection so streaming content via this will see no slowdown which I have always found happens using a VPN.

I’ve been using it for the last 3 months faultlessly but have not tried it on Amazon prime although I really don’t see why this won’t work.

Try it for free with the free months trial and please report back
[Kindle Fire General] mclad:
Progress updated in first thread.

#1 - Root. This was very straightforward following the linked thread.

#2 - File explorer - had difficulties here, I ended up learning how to take an app off my phone (e.g. rootexplorer-1.apk from /data/apps) and install it on the fire using adb on my PC i.e. "adb install rootexplorer-1.apk".

I could get any number of apps off my phone using this method (e.g. homeswitcher & go launcher I really want!) but really I won't feel happy unless I can do this using the market :)

I tried following the link in my first post to get the market working, it opens but fails on trying to install any apps. Will give this another go later, but am concentrating on getting Amazon US services first.

On this note I have signed up to www.hidemyass.com for VPN as it seemed a good deal and I saw it before the above post about "unblock-us". So I have VPN on my PC, laptop, my android SGS phone and my wife's iPhone4, for about $70/year. Unfortunately our broadband wireless router is locked so I cannot set up VPN on it, so I am looking at options per my first post ie:

a - get VPN & working tun.ko on Fire for VPN on the device (best option)

see How to access android.net.vpn.SETTINGS?

and Kindle Fire tun.ko

b - get adhoc networking working so can run VPN on PC/laptop and then share adhoc wireless network

see [Q] Kindle won't pickup adhoc wireless my phone will??

and [Q] Will Adhoc WIFI be possible with software patching?

c - use a special wirless router to flash VPN on it e.g. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1494723

will try unblock-us to see if I can bypass the us restriction for amazon market store and video . Anyone tried this as I have heard we cant bypass this due to the credit card associated to amazon account. We need to have an us address associated with the card. One way to bypass this would be to get someone in US to post a Visa/matercard gift card so we can input that credit card in amazon.... anyone have any ideas ???
