How does forcing gpu use affect battery? I've heard that seeing as the GPU is more efficient at rendering it may actually increase battery life but I'm entirely uncertain if that is true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
It crashed the app "GPS Test" for me. I turned off "Force GPU Rendering" to prevent other incompatibilities. The Nexus seems fast enough without turning this feature on.

So, I just got my Nexus today and have a quick question. If I restore my apps via TB from Gingerbread, will it work properly on my Nexus running ICS? Or should I just do fresh installs of all my apps. If I do fresh installs, can I just restore my data via TB?

I went from CM9 Kang to this with just a wipe and everything is working as expected
[Nexus S General] lombak2006:

Can someone verify the OTA

2.3.6 => 4.0.3 OTA has network registering issues in my country

It takes 2 minutes to find and register on a network after boot when EDGE only on

May be this will help the issue
[Nexus S General] kongkkm:
Current version is 2.3.7 Oxygen ROM.

So I just copy it into the sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe, flash this ROM and done?
[Nexus S General] marsrogers:
Added the version.

This is a full rom.

I grabbed from my phone when it was downloading the update. I was in 2.3.4 at that time.

In some country, the OTA will first update to 2.3.6 and then the 4.0. In US, directly to 4.0.

For security and warranty-related reasons, much? Or to prevent people to randomly flash stuff they found on forums? I don't want to sound too aggressive but please try to consider the manufacturer's POW before bashing.

Anyhoo, I suggest you do a bit of research on "fastboot" and "adb", then when you think you have a basic grasp of the whole thing flash the update/radio etc.

Otherwise, you can search Google for "root Nexus S" and you'll find plenty of step-by step guides to unlock the bootloader..

Will this ICS Update work on I9023 Indian Model?

Hi Friends,

I am from India. I want to update my current Android 2.3.3 version

Baseband version i9023XXXkb3 build no. GRI54. This is a SIM FREE Phone

Both verizon and indian mobile supports same kind of mobile i guess if you compare on GSMARENA

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

Will Verizon version work for Indian Nexus S?

I am really afraid that it may cause a network lock and hence will only support verizon

Can someone please throw some light on it

Thanks,

Hi Arpit,

Why are you concerned with this Verizon thing anyways? You didn't buy your phone from Verizon..did you? Because, if you did not and bought your phone in India, then you can relax, because nothing here can get you 'network-locked'.

The Nexus S i9020A has received the official update. :)
[Nexus S General] foreman31:
I will tell you what to do.

put CWM into android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

and rename to recovery.img

Place your phone in fastboot mode

open cmd prompt and:

cd\

cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

fastboot boot recovery.img

CWM will then boot on your phone and you can try another rom :)

So I installed the FullROM 160 MB one anf GoogleBooks / YouTube was there among the other Google icons. After the phone picked up the network signal they dissappeared and cant download the YouTube app from market now. It says the YouTube App is not good for my Nexus S.

Is this Step By Step Correct??

I am on i9020T (AWS supported) with Koush Alpha Build of ICS.

Prereq: download all file on first post.

1- Move update, recovery, superuser to nexus s sdcard.

2- Turn on with power and volume up button to enter bootloader.

3- From bootloader go to recovery (clockwork in my case).

4- If file was not renamed update.zip then custom select the update from sd card.

5- After update, select to install super user.

6- After super user install, select to install recovery.

7- Reboot to a rooted nexus s stock with recovery???

Also, after this process will I lose everything that google has not synced? So do I have to backup my camera photos?

EDIT1: The messaging apps (i use goSMS) don't show names or pictures; only the numbers on the contacts. I guess, its probably only because they need to be updated for ICS or something?

EDIT2: Also, for FB app users: If you earlier had FB contacts synced... they will be there after you install this ROM. But, for me, the app was creating errors, so i unistalled it and found out that there's no option to sync FB contacts for ICS yet :O .. and now my contacts are gone :(

I am a novice.

I think I bricked my wife's Nexus S 4G. I don't know what type of phone: 9020T, 9023, etc. It's from Sprint recently. I flashed this ROM and now: radio is not working, phone won't charge and USB mounting isn't working so I can't follow recovery steps outlined on earlier pages. I have recovery.img installed in tools folder of sdk on my pc but without mounting capability, it seems useless. Also, can't pick up the AndroidTether wifi signal from my HeroC although phone does locate other protected networks in area for which I don't have access key.

Any suggestions? Thank you for any help that you can give.

tried to boot - stuck in boot loop

battery pull

tried to boot into recovery - no recovery dead droid appeared

booted into CWMrecovery

full wipe/factory reset

reflashed the 160mb zip from page 1

flashed UCKE1 radio this time (another thread said this was the radio to use even though it's an older build)

booted into ICE CREAM SANDWICH:D

reflashed CWMrecovery and installed superuser from sdcard

renamed the install.recovery.sh file so my CWMrecovery sticks

reinstalled titanium backup and restored my apps and data.

screwed up the camera app though when i restored apps and data using titanium backup - forgot to uncheck the system apps and restoring the backup camera data messed up my camera app which is now not working

will do another wipe then restore only the non system apps and data.

i also flashed the UCKF1 radio when I was all done and both radios work fine.

next step - custom kernel to get my voodoo sound, BLN, and OC back...

Tip:

I used clockwork recovery to install the update but I do not flash it over the stock bootloader. I only boot to it via fastboot each time I want to use it.

- boot into stock recovery using volume up and power

- connect to pc and use fastboot to boot clockwork recovery using:

"fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img"

- you are now in CWM recovery and can flash the update and radio files
