hey guys ... is WhatsApp working with Koush 12?

cause since the latest 2 kang´s ... whatsapp can´t be found on the market ... not even manualy installed :confused:
[Nexus S General] labbbby:
Dialer and People app has been really slow on all the AOSP roms I tried. You're definitely not alone.
[Nexus S General] asb123:
Is found and works for me.
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
Good to know. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
mowl ... :confused: ... strange ... i need this app :mad:
[Nexus S General] palmirotheking:
Does anyone know if video's reproduction is working well or not? This is because I've some problem with the lag. My custom rom is CM9 alpha 12.
[Nexus S General] formaldehyde:
Weird, on my NS they've been as quick on all ICS roms as they were on CM7.
[Nexus S General] cbstryker:
Does anyone know of a good app that can help me find if anything has a wake lock going?

I'm getting not-so-great battery life in the last three alphas. I'm averaging between 9-12% an hour. Whereas on CM7 I could average about 5-7% an hour.

Edit: Also, it doesn't seem to make a difference if bluetooth, wifi, gps, etc are on or not.
[Nexus S General] artiros:
Having some problems using juicedefender with alpha 12, it seems to be on but is so laggy I cannot use the interface to change anything. It worked just fine in alpha 11....
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Just get rid of it. I used it for a long time and then found out it uses more battery then it saves.

EDIT: Anyone know why I can't purchase apps on the market? I know I can use the website but then I can't choose my payment as my network/phone bill.

[Nexus S General] phillevy:
Spotify works fine for me.
[Nexus S General] HeavenlyWinds:
Juice defender is alright, Saves some extra battery if you put the right options.

Everything working fine here.
[Nexus S General] bryuliro:
what page is the download link in or can someone link me please cant find it:confused:
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
Apps like juicedefender are really bad, avoid them.
[Nexus S General] mak213:
wheres the download link for alpha 12 its like not there in OP?
[Nexus S General] lcchan1:
in Rom manager, but I can't find the change log, so don't know what had changed.

in Rom Manager
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
This 12 is it the same 12 posted here couple days ago or was that a kang?
[Nexus S General] sixstringsg:
Same one. If it's labeled Alpha, it comes from Koush. Any kangs will be specifically labeled as such. Koush just updated ROM manager before the thread.
[Nexus S General] showstopper1:
the changes in alpha 12 are

Auto Rotating Home screen

Preference option for stock launcher

android dream in display settings

sum more speed tweaks
[Nexus S General] lcchan1:
Thanks for the update
[Nexus S General] st_za:
I'm running Alpha 12 with stock kernel without many problems.

I can do market purchases via the web and they get pushed to the phone. No problems there.

Wifi works 100% and it seems more stable than previously.

I easily get a full day of battery with moderate to heavy use but I do use Advanced Task Killer regularly to clean up the running apps (especially battery hog Whatsapp).

It seems like the capacitive buttons only stay lit after the screen automatically times out and then only sometimes.

A2DP works fine. I can control the volume and the tracks but none of my devices show the track name. I think I had this before ICS/Alpha 12 so this might be a limitation of the driver's bluetooth/A2DP stack.

My only real problem is a strange one. One of the towers near my office is HEAVILY overused so while the phone has full signal with 3G/HSDPA, the data connection is slow as plain GPRS (if it even works). Everything works fine but the phone goes wonky as soon as the radio switches to that tower. Any apps that use data like Market and the browser take MINUTES to open and once open take 10-20 seconds to respond to anything even though nothing else is running on the phone. The phone does get warmer so either the radio or the CPU is working overtime. The home screen and apps that don't use data run fine. Disabling the data connection or forcing the phone to switch towers (by disabling the radio and enabling it again on the other side of the building) makes the apps responsive again.
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
This is a feature. Capacitive buttons light up for notifications.

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------

Reinstalled Spotify from Market, and it's working fine now. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] AbbaSou:
So I followed the instructions from earlier in this thread to uninstall Maps so I could grab the updated version from the market. I don't get any signature error now, but I get this "Unknow error '-8'" now. Any ideas how to fix?
[Nexus S General] annndrewww:
So, what if we don't have ROM Manager Premium?
[Nexus S General] AbbaSou:
Buy it. Support the dev that's bringing you this ROM.

But if you're too cheap (or there is some regional restriction why you can't buy it), find it here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager/developers/crespo?name=Google Nexus S
[Nexus S General] trance-maniac:
Use Titanium backup to convert Maps to User app, then uninstall from Market (do not update !) After this, reinstall from Market. It works... (at least for me).
[Nexus S General] annndrewww:
You convinced me.
[Nexus S General] AbbaSou:
Interesting. I'll try this and see what happens.

Edit: Did this but still can't uninstall from Market. Only have options to open and update. Any other ideas?
[Nexus S General] alifath1234:
the wifi doesnt work... it has something to do with region of sim card.(not for every one)

the only way to make it work is to detach sim card and then wipe data and reflash rom..

and as soon as you put sim back wifi will disappear...

i have this question, is it so hard to just remove or change a command line to fix this problem, or you dont pay attention to every post at all??
[Nexus S General] dudekiller:
Yes, its a lot of work and there's never just one line of code to remove or alter
[Nexus S General] Lemim0uth:
After converting the app to user app, you have to fix the market link with the Market Doctor tool. Then you can uninstall it and reinstall the new version :)
[Nexus S General] Jezwick:
Do we have a way to switch this function off?

Not only does it drain more battery overnight but I do notice that pressing the buttons can activate the notification that then stays on .
[Nexus S General] Neuron:
things i found not working:

the headset's buttons do nothind

you cannot adjust the music volume when locked
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
I imagine BLN will support it shortly, or the rom will get BLN-style features added in, it's just a different implementation.

I agree it's slightly annoying. I used to use Tasker to disable BLN when in 'sleep' profile as the lights sometimes wake me up or annoy me if I wake up in the night.
[Nexus S General] kafe4ever:
hi

can you post here direct link to alpha 12 ???..and where is changelog ??

thx
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
Really? The link was posted ONE page back!
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
Really? Error 503 Service Unavailable!
[Nexus S General] phillevy:
And the changelog?
[Nexus S General] AASonyKK:
Posted 2 pages back too
[Nexus S General] marinierb:
Or you can uninstall through Settings->Apps...
[Nexus S General] AASonyKK:
Are you sure that buying rom manager i will support the dev of roms (cyanogen ecc..)? I thought i support only dev of cwm.

If what you said is true i will buy it.

I confirm that it works. After conversion to user app you can see the maps to the list of apps under setting and you can uninstall.
[Nexus S General] marinierb:
Koush makes ROMManager, and he also made this ROM.

There is no luck to get my WiFi working + my SIM installed, I guess I have to wait until Kernal 3.0
[Nexus S General] alessandro_xda:
just installed alpha12 and data usage doesn't work any longer!!!

-traffic (3g and wifi) is always zero.

-no way to set limits (horizontal lines to set warning and limit disappeared)

anybody fixed it?

http://www.box.com/s/qxmgxog264rnnr6ki2t0

bye
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
Alessandro usa il kernel di francisco.franco e vedrai che funzionerà :)

Al momento cyanogen non ha ancora integrato la funzione nel suo kernel.
[Nexus S General] AASonyKK:
I confirm that thought you use franco.kernel the data usage don't works. Always at 0.

With alpha 11 it works, i think this is a bug of alpha 12.
[Nexus S General] alessandro_xda:
ok flashed and data usage is now restored.

still no chance to use gtalk!!

bye
[Nexus S General] JayantSparda:
Hi Guys,

First of all Amazing job by Koush and CM9 team!

I love the rom!

Unfortunately I have to revert back to Alpha 11.

I couldn't switch the BLN off in Alpha 12.:mad:
[Nexus S General] ramon.dexter:
So, is there any way to disable the BLN, or is just impossible to disable it?
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
At the moment it seems to just be enabled on Alpha 12. BLN Pro app in the market doesn't recognise the kernel so reports it being disabled.

I expect the new kernel will be comptible with the BLN app even if Alpha 13 doesn't have built-in control.

Exchange Email Broken

First let me say that this is fantastic!! I am loving the new UI and features! I am having some troubles thought. I wiped data and installed off of ROM Manager and retested before reporting this bug and that fixed some of the issues I was having but I am still having trouble with Exchange emails. I put in all of the information just as I have in the past and it brings up a dialog that says "Verifying Incoming Server Settings" and then it says that the username or password is incorrect. I have tried several times and verified that everything is entered correctly. One of my coworkers says that he had the same issue with his Droid Incredible but that it was fixed in a recent update.

** To comply with instructions :) **

I wiped data and installed off of ROM Manager and retested before reporting this bug.
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
you can switch it off if you flash francisco.franco kernel using nstools app (it's on the market)
[Nexus S General] breakingspell:
I'm almost certain this has been mentioned in this thread, but one feature of CM7 that i can't go without is the ability to natively sync Facebook contacts into the contacts library (or, in this case, People), the feature that Google disabled in 2.3.3. Will this eventually be included in CM9?

I'm, of course, very pleased thus far with the ROM, and now, the kernel, which saves me the trouble of keeping up with the Franco kernel as well.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
WiFi is broken in Alpha 12

if the SIM card is in

WiFI will not work

if i remove the SIM card, then WiFi works :rolleyes:

this was reported earlier by several people, i didn't believe it, now i do :p
[Nexus S General] ocbaud:
i upgraded from alpha 1 to alpha 12 without a wipe and wifi is working normally for me.

in fact, i've had no issues with a12 and it's much speedier than a11 was. :-)
[Nexus S General] ecapox:
This is nice. Quick, decent battery and everything i have tried works. My only issue, and i dont know if this is normal, is that i cannot get the voicemail notification to go away even though i dont have any voicemails (google voice OR ATT). :eek:

I shall edit this post without deleting things because im an idiot. The voicemail

was

on my ATT voicemail and must have come in between loading roms before i installed Google voice. Durr. either way, still great ROM.
[Nexus S General] Surge1:
I may be being stupid, but everything is still labeled alpha 11? did he just forget the labels or is alpha 12 somewhere else ?
[Nexus S General] AASonyKK:
The last is alpha 12, you can find the download link 2 page back.

Only the first post isn't updated.

At me the wifi with alpha 12 works.
[Nexus S General] Leegalaxy:
Hello.

Just looking into this for a few friends who just got Nexus S' and I'm trying to do a bit of research.

(I hate when people jump into a thread without reading anything first but I guess I'm about to do just that so forgive me now...:D)

There doesn't seem to be an install guide in the OP. Can someone kindly point me to one?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Hey, man

Wipe data (factory reset)

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Install Zip

Then reboot and have fun.
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
If the notification is still there, I think it's a simple fix. Have someone call you and leave a VM, then go in and delete it. If it was the only VM, the notification should be removed. This happened to me on T-Mob, and this fix worked.
[Nexus S General] Leegalaxy:
Cool. I'm used to the Galaxy S gt-i9000 which has a physical home button (Power+Volume Up or down+Home Button). How does one get into Recovery and Download mode on the Nexus S?

BTW @N@th I'm giving you what looks like your first ever "Thanks".

Thanks!:)
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
One hell of a day for me on Alpha 12 today....but not sure why.

Noticed this morning that people were emailing me saying I never replied to their texts. I had a friend text me again, and I never received it. I sent him one, and it went through fine. Then, I started having problems with SMS failed messages, but the people were still receiving them - yet I still was not. I have received about 1 out of 10 texts today, and have had good signal all day.

Then I started having problems making calls. Every person I called on T-Mob rang 5 times, then busy signal. Oddly, 611 worked fine, as did calling a friend on Verizon. T-Mob said they had no outages in my area.

Decided it was this ROM, so went to Rom Manager and wiped everything and did a fresh install....then the market stopped working (turns out it was a market error...not the rom). This forced me to reboot into recovery, and do another wipe, and install from Zip.

Still had all the same probs. So flashed clockworkmod, and repeated the process.

Now, everything seems fine - except SMS. Still not receiving them.

tl;dr - did alpha 12 break my sms?
[Nexus S General] AASonyKK:
You can press power+volume up and then select recovery from the list.

Or for directly enter into recovery press power+volume down.

For download mode, turn off the phone and press the vol up and down and connect via usb to the pc.
[Nexus S General] servellia:
I got some weird issues with ICS. First of all: bevor installing I did a _complete_ wipe.

The two main problems from my point of view are:

1. It is not laggy in a direct way, but unresponsive. Firing up the music app the device grants itself some seconds to think about and load up. Thats the most extreme example. Everywhere else its not as bad, but opening up the contacts takes a good second.

2. The music is stuttering every 30ish seconds for somewhat 250ms. Like a buffer underrun, because it cant read the data fast enough.

Is there any workaround for those problems?

PS: Kernel: stock / Franco; tried both

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] andrewanemic:
When Phone is off, hold volume up and down, then connect the data cable. That will send you into download mode.

To boot into fastboot, hold volume up and the power on button. :)
[Nexus S General] Tak0r:

[Nexus S General] dnts:
The links to the ROM are not working. ROM manager (stupid me... paid for this app a long time ago and never got one complete ROM downloaded with it) breaks after a few minutes and restarts... so I'm kinda stuck...

[Nexus S General] scott8281:
What i did to get Wifi working was reflash Gapps. When i flashed 12 over 11 with no wipe everything as fine but no wifi, so flashed gapps again as well and ran fix permissions and rebooted and wifi is now working on 12...Give it a shot.. hopefully you guys with wifi problems will have the same results i did...
[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:
This is the battery life:

13h and 11% left...is that good?
[Nexus S General] TheColdOne:
I notice I am having severe issues copying files to and from the android when connecting to the computer. I don't know if this is an issue with ICS in general or just these experimental ROMs, but sometimes stuff copies, sometimes they don't. I recently tried to copy music manually onto the SD card partition (because Music refuses to sync) and it only copied the first, I don't know, 100 songs? Then it just claimed it couldn't copy any more and had me skip the rest.

Also, I have been having some of the issues that Shivammcool is posting about with battery life (no, that is not normal). I see that Android OS and Mediaserver take up a lot of battery life and kill the phone sometimes, even when the phone is idle and doing nothing (no paused games, no music).

Can't wait till the official release of ICS comes out and these ROMs can get better.

WiFi doesn't work for me too.

Flashed Matrix kernel for ICS, still doesn't work.

Also tried what someone here suggested and flashed gapps again.. but it didn't help as well.

Any other solution?

Camera works strange. Well, googles and google authentificator barcode scanner does not scan qrcode. It seems to be camera api issue.
[Nexus S General] liorry:
Thanks but as I mentioned, I did flash gapps again... with no result.

Tried using fix permissions and it didn't work also :(

I'll try reflashing the ROM without Matrix kernel and we'll see if that's what caused this.

Edit: Reflashing the ROM helped, WiFi works.

Reflashed Matrix kernel and WiFi broken again so that's a kernel issue and not the ROM.
