Wipe data, go into the gapps zip folder and delete Maps.apk then flash it and after that you can just down load maps from the market

That makes no sense to some people must tell them to wipe data go into the gapps zip folder on there computer and delete maps.apk then flash it and down load from market simple

Does anybody know why or have any information why, the camera in the ICS makes 6mb large pictures??? This is crazy!!!
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
ok... but good side of the adb command is you don't have to wipe everything all over again...!! which is a pain in the a** actually!
[Nexus S General] ka24e:
These are high quality "uncompressed" (although JPEG is still a compressed image) images.

If you compare the same image side by side with one taken on 2.3.7 you will see more detail in the image.

It's like comparing RAW to JPEG, although we're comparing a higher quality JPEG to a lower quality JPEG.

It only poses an issue if you're e-mail pictures or running low on space. For me, being interested in photography, I'd rather the larger more detailed image. Some people just dont care, but hopefully a setting will be made available for compression ratio.

This worked perfectly for me with Maps and Google Earth. Will I need to do this with all the other apps included in the Gapps zip from the OP once there is an update available for it? I really want to avoid wiping my phone all over again since I seem to have most things running smoothly now.
[Nexus S General] phillevy:
You would have to be comparing extremely large prints or enlarged crops of a few megapixels to see any difference - JPEG compression differences would otherwise be impossible to see visually with the limitations of the lens/sensor. All this means for us is unnecessarily large files.

adb is very simple to use if you follow instructions to get it set up. Much easier than doing a wipe and installing everything again.

If you are flashing ROMs you should at the very least know how to use adb :)

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Using Google to search for "install nexus s adb drivers" brings up this link http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html and videos on how to install.

If your device is not listed then try a different USB port and use the USB cable that came with the phone.

[Nexus S General] xxxFeLiXxxx:
Thanks a lot for your help.

Of course, I googled and I know how to do this. But device is just not visible in adb. If I go into recovery - then it shows

ID_GOES_HERE recovery.

But in usual mode, only media device is visible. Just no other devices. I deleted all the drivers when I was on recovery state to check. Now I'm connecting phone - and nothing happens - just media device.

UPDATE: deleted also media device, reconnected - and now it shows unknown device, which is adb.

Wifi working on i9023. batterij absurd good for an android phone...
[Nexus S General] owenjm:
Memory usage?

Hi all,

I recently moved to the Nexus S from an HTC Desire (sensors and buttons on the Desire started going) and I've been using Alpha 11 ever since. I had been playing around with ICS on the Desire, though, and although the experience on the NS is not surprisingly much smoother, there's something very strange going on with memory usage.

Right now, according to the memory info in Settings --> Apps, ICS on the Desire has used only 164Mb, whereas ICS on my NS has used 233Mb. These are fairly typical figures. Does anyone have any idea why the memory usage should be so much higher? It's a massive difference -- coming to the NS, the combined effect of less memory (the Desire has 64Mb more RAM) and more OS memory usage means I've lost around half my free RAM ... and that makes a big difference in multi-tasking usability!
[Nexus S General] shanyel:
Somehow wifi got gray out when upgrading to alpha 12... How did you upgrade from 11 to 12?

Do you use standard kernel?
[Nexus S General] ka24e:
You do understand we are using the Gingerbread Kernel and proper sources and drivers have not been released as of yet by Google right?

Just checking, I assume you read nothing in this whole thread.

This is all ALPHA. It's plain AOSP with hacks and patches to make things work. There ARE memory issues, there ARE bugs. It's to be expected.

ICS is NOT released officially for the NS.
[Nexus S General] owenjm:
Whoa! Hey, steady on. I appreciate this is all alpha software, and that this is comparing apples to oranges, and all that. Obviously.

Nevertheless, this seems a very big difference in RAM usage and nobody else has mentioned the low RAM in the thread (or at least, not that I can find from searching). I'm merely curious to know if I'm alone in having very little free RAM, or whether this is normal RAM usage even for GB on the NS, or whether there's any other known reason. I wouldn't have thought the kernel and drivers alone would make that much difference, but I'm happy to be corrected. Sorry for asking.
[Nexus S General] peacekeeper05:
I heard that the official ICS for our NS will have better memory management and optimizations.
[Nexus S General] frits666:
No it was on Alpha 11. Just upgraded to 12, but so far the wifi is working normally..Still on the standard kernel. I did a full wipe, system, cache, and dalvik...and sd card(Internal with the Nexus) . I find it the most reliable way, never had any trouble with flashing roms. Although you better can save your backups on a extern medium.:cool:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebong:
As you guys might have noticed, whenever you set a wallpaper using the default android gallery, it kinda compresses it and results in a low quality version of the pic as your wallpaper. I've found a workaround for this by using apps from the market to set my wallpaper with BUT all of those apps can only change my homescreen wallpaper and NOT the lockscreen wallpaper.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebong:
No, I know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper. But like I've said, when you use that way, it lowers the quality of the picture you use. If I use a hi-def photo and set it as my lockscreen wallpaper, the quality loss is very obvious. Which is why I was asking if there was a workaround for this.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spkrs01:
get a suitable hd wallpaper from the internet then save picture to gallery. When you set wallpaper to lockscreen choose gallery, find pic you have d/l and crop it accordingly. Remember to get the highest resolution wallpaper.

do you think the lock screen uses a lower resolution for a reason. that screen basically is displayed for just a few seconds and kinda floats on top of an already high resolution main screen. just a theory that it's supposed to be lower quality graphic.

Problem is that on Samsung phone when we set a high resolution wallpaper, it still shows low resolution. However that's not the issue when we set the same wallpaper to home screen. So there is something that is screwing up the resolution when setting it up on lockscreen.

The problem mentioned by @anilkinikar still persists even on a non samsung device(I have a Pixel 4a(running android 11)).

I designed a wallpaper myself using GIMP with screen resolution in mind, It's perfectly smooth without any colour banding but when I tried to apply it the default way, the final applied wallpaper both on lockscreen and homescreen was not smooth(colour banding)(although not very noticeable).

I later came to know about an app "Image 2 Wallpaper", using this, the homescreen wallpaper was applied perfectly but the lockscreen wallpaper still had banding.
