i accidentally dropped the phone last night & my first reaction was "its broken!"... but it just got scuffed a bit on the bottom corner on one side, on the other side though the plastic border around the screen... got 'bent' slightly at one corner and is slightly pressing up against the screen. also, the back cover somehow popped off and now it wont securely fasten anymore. luckily nothing happened to the screen & the phone still functions. i think the drop may have improved its signal though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
ugh really people?

its not a tank.

if you buy a 800$ dollar phone,you dont have it to drop/scratch or brake it.

why buy a 800$ phone when your gona drop it anyway?

even if your drunk or w/e.

if you know your self,than you should know how you handle these things.

a 1milion Ferrari is also breakable. you dont simply crash it into any thing and assume itl be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pluto:
Lol, why is everybody here talking like they're un-slipable? Going like "Don't drop it" or "Don't ever drop your phone". Unless you're THAT much of a geek, you never get out of your house, and you have symptoms of atychiphobia. There is no possible way that you are "not" going to drop your phone, no matter what. I'm not sure if you guys got pockets with airbags or something. But people tend to accidentally drop their phone, no matter how expensive it is. It's only natural.

Just try your best not to drop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vlx600d:
Scratched my screen yesterday or today... 2 years with an unprotected of Droid and no scratches 3 days with gn and a scratch already... I'll stick to brand name gorilla glass from now on... none of this "fortified" glass BS in my future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
I hear you. I had an unprotected Droid for a year and an unprotected Nexus S for a year and each one only acquired a tiny scratch. I already have 3 on my Galaxy Nexus in just 2 weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blkrabb1t:
Can't do that on my phone....it's actually made of metal, aluminum to be exact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1.4hitachi:
I dropped my phone today.... Actually it flipped 2 times in the air, then fell on it's face; nary a scratch. But, it's most likely due to me having put the official Verizon case and screen protector on. Oh well. Spend some money and put a case on your phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuchi:
so where can we buy that screen part?

broke mine aswell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I don't know if this applies to resellers of Verizon service (GSM users please stop reading), but Verizon allows you to purchase insurance up to 30 days after purchase. Example of resellers: amazon.com or best buy.

So if you bought your phone (2 year contract or full retail) from VZW without insurance and broken your phone within the 30 days windows, call up and get the insurance active.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grharry:
Hey all,

I've bought the phone about 2 days ago.

Tonight I accepted to download and upgrade to icecream.

As a result I have a frozen phone with the Google log on ... for an hour now ...

Need some help ....

Anybody ???

---------------------------

Update ...

Removed the bat. and it rebooted back to gingerbread !!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Corrupted download maybe??

did you d/l over wifi or 3g??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grharry:
Wifi ...

But latter found out that you have to unroot first and upgrade afterwards .
[HTC EVO 3D] reaperofpower:
I was Wondering if any has made a way to set like Daily Backups, so that the phone will reboot in to recovery then once completed restart to a normal state? Like 5am everyday and keep backup history of 5 so every 6th day the first recovery is deleted..

Let me know what you think

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Kermagod:
I think that's a bit of a waste of sd card space.
[HTC EVO 3D] reaperofpower:
Well i have like 16gb of free space.. and i play alot of games.. so i hate when i lose saved game data.. hence this process
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Each nandroid takes up about 500mb, so you could have 16 back ups at most.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Its a cool thought, but i think a monthly backup solution would be smarter, and also a twrp rom manager style app would be good.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] reaperofpower:
I understand only 16 backups.. But as so

1 Backup

2 Backup

3 backup

4 backup

5 backup

-Del Backup 1, Create Backup 1

and so on, you would realy only have 5 backups at once.. hope that helps explain what i mean
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
I get the concept, but why? I've had my phone rooted for 3 months and I have 2 nandroids. I only make one when I flash a new ROM in case I don't like it. Titanium backup allows you to schedule batch backups for apps and system data. Why don't you set it up to go every few days?
[HTC EVO 3D] Kermagod:
This is the smart option, based on your needs.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
I just make a nandroid when i go messing with stuff. I usually keep a AOSP, a sense, & one i'm using atm.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
What is the difference between the Semaphore_kernel_JVZ_2.1.1.tar and the Semaphore_kernel_JVZ_2.1.1bm.tar kernal?

Also, what is the advantage of a kernal like this over the stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
The bm stands for bigmem which means it has an extra 17mb(or around this i cant remember the exact number) but it comes at the cost of 720p video recording.

edit: i just checked its 13mb
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
And the difference between a kernal like this and the stock one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
The stock kernel can't overclock and doesn't support backlight notifications, voodoo sound, etc.

Basically the Semaphore kernel adds a lot more features to your phone as opposed to the stock kernel so there's really no reason to not switch over from stock
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
Nice! So, are these changes automatic or built within the kernal or do you have to go out and get a separate app to make them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
The features are enabled automatically through the kernel. Once you install Semaphore, there should be an app installed that lets you control these features, but you might have to install some extra apps from the market for other things such as overclocking and voodoo sound/screen :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Transparent lockscreen is a result of wrong premission... It's not a feature...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
Hi All,

I've just built 4.0.3 from source, copied the su binary and Superuser.apk from the Android Revolution HD Rom (thanks mike1986) and removed the recovery installation (to maintain non-stock recovery).

updated the gapps to a safer gnexus friendly version for flashing

If you would like to test...

1) don't blame me if your phone blows up, crashes, bricks etc etc. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (GSM ONLY)

2) download the rom here: http://techerrata.com/file/teamwin/onicrom-maguro-4.0.3_3.zip

3) download the gapps here: http://tinyw.in/w8Lg

4) unzip onicrom-maguro-4.0.3_3.zip

5) in a different directory unzip gapps-....zip

6) cd gappsunzippeddir/system/app

7) cp Google* /placeyou/unzipped/onicrom-maguro.../system/app

8) cp Vending.apk /placeyou/unzipped/onicrom-maguro.../system/app

9) cd /placeyou/unzipped/onicrom-maguro...

10) zip -r yournew-aosp.zip .

11) adb push yournew-aosp.zip /sdcard

12) reboot into recovery, full wipe, flash yournew-aosp.zip

These instructions are not for the faint of heart if you don't understand them DO NOT TRY THIS ROM.

--onicrom

UPDATE

camera is now working (link above updated) thanks again dwang and DebauchedSloth

they also mentioned the gapps from a newly ota'd nexus s might be better to use than the initial ics apps pulled by koush i will link to them if i find them

UPDATE2

Superuser updated to the latest version and working just fine.

UPDATE3

new gapps! ripped from nexus s 4.0.3 ota DO NOT FLASH THE ENTIRE GAPPS ZIP MAKE SURE YOU PULL OUT ONLY THE APKS IT WILL REPLACE system/vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so

UPDATE4

newER gapps http://tinyw.in/w8Lg safer to flash on the gnex

me me me me me!

I've been dying for some 4.0.3 action.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mykenyc:
Do wifi and everything work, because over at rootzwiki that was the case of it now working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
Superuser.apk doesn't appear to be working properly in 4.0.3 (and I don't appear to be the only one with the problem https://twitter.com/#!/ChainsDD/status/148096377958834176).

The su binary works though.

Still interested?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dantheman_:
Not currently using any apps that need root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
wifi works

camera...not so much

im going to try and restore the camera apk from 4.0.1 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
What binaries did you use to build? I think there are new 4.0.3 binaries for hardware.

Edit: Here are the new 4.0.3 binaries, but I'm not sure if camera is changed....

http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=ht...39.tgz&usg=AFQjCNFa4ZsTMI1c2O3e1Q-vq3EvNaVsAA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
those are the binaries i used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Romanbb:
You need extra files from /system/vendor/firmware for camera/Bluetooth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
which i take it wont be available until 4.0.3 rolls out via OTA?

unless you're hinting at knowing where else to get them?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
won't the files from the 4.0.2 image work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
trying that now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DebauchedSloth:
Yes, they will work. You want to use the binaries that Google posted, then merge in the other vendor binaries that are missing.

If you do this, everything will work.

I have a build here. It was painful to get everything working, but it can be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Did you pull the google apps from the nexus s 4.0.3 image instead of from clockwork? I know that at least the very least the gtalk is different between 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. The browser is also changed so the one from clockwork is older and will overwrite the one built from aosp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
i pulled from the gapps koush posted i only pulled the Market and the google login services though

testing the new build now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DebauchedSloth:
I did not, but that is a fantastisc idea. Doing that now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
great success the camera is now working!

thanks dwang and DebauchedSloth

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Man, kinda bummed that Market isn't working correctly. Can't really use this ROM because of that, otherwise this whole setup would be perfect. Seems like it's some config somewhere, but I don't really know much about GApps. Is that something you could check on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
whats not working? i had no issues using the market in the gapps ripped by koush

im about to play with the new gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Certain apps don't show up in Market. Examples I have are YouTube and Foursquare. No idea why. I assume there are others but those are the only ones I've noticed so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
YouTube doesn't show up in official builds either. It's a new version in ICS that I'm assuming isn't on the Market yet

Anyway the latest superuser in ChainsDD's homepage is the one inlcuded in update3, but I cant get it to work

Everything is working well, except that some apps doesn't install on 4.0.3.

From the apps I use

Tasker, Wolfram alpha, Endomondo sports tracker pro, and some more.

Other than that, camera etc, are working nicely.

they don't install or are not available in the android market?

have you been able to restore the apps from a titanium backup?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milltach:
Hi all!

Today I installed the update 4.0 manually. It looks great! But *duh now I dont have root. Okey lets download a new su.zip and then install it in the recovery mode. What the hell? There is no more recovery! If I try to get in there I just have a black screen. Ok lets use google: other people have this problem since update 4.0 , solution: use another recovery/reinstall it. Well i never used Clockwork but people saying that should work, so I downloaded it.

What now? Lets install it. The tutorial-guy on youtube is using "flash ..." and "flash boot ..." so I do this in the shell:

fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

Reboot and now everything is different. Nice, I can install the new su.zip. Im rebooting and... im again in the clockwork recovery menue. I just like ":confused:", "ok lets restart again". Then Im again in the Menü. Huh? Lets take the battery out and wait a little bit. Done, but im always in clockwork rec menue. Im searching for solutions. I got some of them "install it new", "use recovery" so I reinstall it:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

Nothing changed. Then I tried to use something else like "TeamWin Recovery" (cannot post page, because not allowed as n00b), I was able to install it but now there is always twrp then im starting the phone!

What the hell should I do? I cannot use my phone :/

Thanks for any help!

Hi. Sorry I dindt say that I tought about to wipe but im too scared. I never wiped and I tought if I do something wrong then my smartphone will really die. So I was hoping there is a solution without wiping and loosing all of my data. There isnt? :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briggl:
Do you have access to your usb storage?

(connect to your computer, go in clockworkmod recovery to mounts and storage -> usb storage)

if you have any data to save from sdcard its a good point to that now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
Well the reason is obvious, you flashed the boot partition with a recovery image -- so it will always boot into recovery ;)

To fix it, you can flash any ROM to replace the boot partition with a bootable kernel. But if you want to install the official ICS, you have to flash the latest full OTA package for your phone model.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Well you could always try re-flashing the OTA again without wipe but to be honest you would be better off doing a full wipe and the other steps as the poster above recommended.

It should be fine if you are in recovery and can reflash.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Try a full wipe and see if it works but to be honest i think suksit has hit the nail on the head with his post. you loaded the recovery into the boot partition.re flashing stock 2.3.6 could be the answer.

Then look at the Full Roms (not the incremental updates), search your Google Nexus s (mine was the european version 9023) and then the Android version you want to have. I downloaded the newest: Android 4.0.3/IML74K/XXKI1 Radio/KL1 Bootloader. There is everything, including the bootloader (thats what I need). Put the .zip on your phone, reboot start recovery mode and select the zip in recovery mode and install. Thats it.
