Use the CFS one.
[Nexus S General] kevincwelch:
Great so far

No issues yet.

Running GLaDOS 2.1.

If this is as smooth as GPA 19, then I'm in for a good ride.

So far this ROM and Dooderbutt have been really great.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Oh ****. Nice, grabbing before this is moved to general and lost.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
+1 Use CFS.

I am REALLY liking this combination.

Whats the issue with the Gallery ? I don't have an issue at all.

I am running lates version 12/19 and mms doesn't work for me. Same issues as before with the received only. I can send no problem. But it gets stuck in download and won't download the pic. Been on it since it release yesterday
[Nexus S General] Angry Gimp:
Saw petes ICS last night on ROM manager and put it on, every thing has worked fine for me, no FC's on anything other then when I d/l'd Wallet. Gallery works, no issues with gmail or calendar sync even.

However batter life is horrible. I've just read that Google stopped the Nexus S OTA update due to the CPU running to much and killing the batter or some such. I believe it's happening with this to. I was full charged this morning, went to eat breakfast with wife, then to Barnes N Noble for some Xmas shopping and then to the grocery store, very little use on my phone and in 4 hours it was at 10%. Put it in Plane mode and went through and closed everything and it still dropped to 2% in the next 45 minutes of not being used. Android OS was on the battery use at over 50%.
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
Download go SMS pro and it will download mms
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
To solve the calendar sync I flashed a different set of Gapps and the calendar sync now works.

Those are the probs me and a few others are having with Gallery.

running smooth with glados, best rom yet, no lag to app drawer
[Nexus S General] kevincwelch:
Random reboot

Just had one of those random reboots. Phone was idle and charging. GLaDOS 2.2 100/1000 ondemand.

Not sure what happened or why.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Maybe you need to calibrate your battery? I'm on NexusBeam and I get well over 12 hours and I'm only down to 20-25% by then.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
I'm running this with Glados latest, and Android OS is keeping it awake most of the time ? Anyone else getting this ?
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
Yeah, I'm getting this as well.

I will try and screenshot but Android OS shows 'Keep Awake 1h 24m 39s'

something not right.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
Works for me, and Picasa does show up if I want it to , but have disabled it.

In my pref it;s called Google Photos, not picasa, obviously.
[Nexus S General] AshsToAshs:
The "ics-crespo-aosp-4.0.1-calendar-gallary-patch.zip" a few pages back fixed it for me.

Like Petes Download page

Pete sent tweet last night he will make official release of ICS when his download page receives 100 likes.

I know an early version is out but I also saw he is working on a new release.

I will be buying another round for Pete when he gets the 100 likes and next Crespo4G is out.

Come on people he is not asking for that much! There are only 5 more hits to go.

[Nook Touch General] mh127:
I have tried rooting my NST using TouchNooter 1.11.20 following instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343143

But, I do not see YouTube app or anyhing like that. There is Gmail, but no YouTube, where I should sign in.

What am I missing?
[Nook Touch General] mh127:
Nevermind, I found the YouTube app, but I still cannot get Market working -I am getting "A server error has occured" message. YT and Gmail work.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
[Nook Touch General] Slartiwhatever:
If you check in on the TouchNooter 1.11.20 thread over in the development forum, you'll see that this seems to be a common problem. It appears based on those postings that the Market app will start working after a certain time (overnight?), assuming everything else is correct.

I've discovered that you can get into the Market without waiting by adding a SECOND account. (In Gmail, click into the settings from ButtonSavior, then click accounts, and there'll be a button to add one.)

I discovered this by accident trying to set things up for my wife. I thought there was a problem because she did not have a Youtube account set up through her Google Apps account. So I went ahead & added my account to the NST to make sure the rooting process had worked, and lo and behold there was the Market. Now I needed to figure out how to delete my account (which I still haven't figured out how to do!), but in the process of researching that, I ran across this business with a delay for the market to start working.

I then wiped out my NST and went back to the backup I made before I started all this (version 1.1) so I could try again with a different account.. and a third time too, just to make sure with a different order of accounts. It was consistent: the first account gives the "server error" message when opening Market; the second goes right in.

Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of one of the accounts that's set up. Anybody know that one? If the "Accounts & Sync" setting I'm used to in stock Android is there, it's well-hidden. (For that matter I'd like to get rid of Gmail... or at least not have it auto-sync.)
[Nook Touch General] mh127:
Slartiwhatever,

thanks for your comment, registering second account and syncing it fixed my problem too! I do not really mind having two accounts set up, so this works well enough for me.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Gengar6:
I've been using my Galaxy Ace for a few days now and I notice that the battery is pretty unstable. I have ICS2 on my phone.

I usually notice how my phone drops from 100 to 90 percent in 2-3 minutes or charges about 10 percent a minute. This is starting to irritate me, especially since i have Juice Defender on and I calibrated my battery.

What should i do to fix this problem or improve my battery life?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] franzks:
Yeah I had similar experiences like yours as well. I often let my battery drain out completely (I wait for it to shut itself down). Then I plug it in and turn it back on after about 30 seconds. Once booted it then said the battery was at 11%.

11% in 30 seconds!?

I rooted my phone and uploaded the Immortality Kernel to it. When I went to restart it would not. I tried booting the phone into download or recovery mode and it will not work. Also when I plug it into my PC it is not detected at all.

Please help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Try installing Samsung Kies, that will re-install your drivers. Then try these instructions...

Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!

1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.

2.) Remove your battery.

Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!

3.) Hold the volume buttons.

4.) Put the battery in.

5.) Put the USB in.

You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

So we all know about how Google's contact photo syncing results in a distorted image .....

question is, anyone hear of any updates on Google's front?

Even more curiously.... what are you guys doing to get around this? Or have you just learned to live with it? Ignore it?

Looking forward to your replies.

Just learned to live with it. It does suck, and needs to be improved, by el Goog.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
This will never get solved as long as we are quite, as google has been giving us the silent treatment since the G1 shipped. We have to bombard tech blogs about this till it's major news so google would move their asses and fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm all for it... but how do we start?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro6128:
The problem is on googles end with the way gmail and google contacts downgrades the image size. There is an open help topicon googles site where they state that their contacts team is looking into it. Contacts with G+ accounts come in high rez. Other than that there is nothing you can do outside of manually changing the pics. And then not making any changes to the contacs whos images you changed. Otherwise it will be resynced and the image will get downgraded again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
the OS part was fixed in Android 4.x since they have a larger contact image size than before. However if you sync with Google, on their side they still have the (Google mail contacts) old small size.

We shouldn't give a damn about behind the scenes stuff however and complain till they fix this crap.

I don't care if Facebook or Google+ contacts get proper pictures because i don't use any of those 2 services. I want the plain GMail contacts' images to be larger than 96x96 pixels dammit !!!

This **** limitation is around since Cupcake! (Android 1.5)!!

=================

Comment 229 by project member g...@android.com, Oct 25, 2011

Per the previous comments, contact photos have been dramatically improved in Android 4.0 - see http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html. The max size is now 256x256, which looks much much nicer on incoming calls, contact details, and quick contacts. Large photos can be supplied by manually associating them with contacts, or by syncing them down from social networks. So, I'm going to close this issue out. Related requests should be tracked in new issues.

=================

This however applies only to every other possible contact DB (Facebook, G+,etc) except GMail :((((

In Gmail you can only use 96x96 size.

LOL even iPhone users get shafted if they sync with GMail.....take that retina display....96x96 PIXELS is the best you'll get :)

Well, in the meantime if anyone cares fot it, [has s-off'd on MetroPCS and run a nandroid shortly thereafter], I can make you a flashabe stock like VM USA and US Cellular [just pm me if you'd like].

This is a complete guess/longshot but take out the battery, plug in the charger and hold down the power button.

Have you tried adb reboot recovery? If by some miracle adb sees the phone you can just flash a recovery and load up a rom. Might have to try acting like you power it on. It could be actually powered up but not screen or led responsive.

I've had a problem like this with my phone before, I let my battery get to zero while in recovery mode and phone wouldnt do anything. The battery seemed like it was so low the phone didn't recognise it was there. I hooked it up to a variable dc voltage box and jumped it for a bit and it worked. U could either stop at a sprint store and see if they have a charged battery, or get one of those things that charges the battery outside of the phone, its like a universal battery charger or somethin.

sorry for my ignorance but how to i go about doing the adb reboot recovery?

Download ADB from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Download the zip

unzip somewhere

Open SDK manager

Download sdk platform-tools and tools (other stuff is optional)

open cmd and use "cd <directory>" to navigate to platform-tools in the android sdk folder (e.g. "cd /android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/"

Download htc sync http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe

uninstall after installed

connect phone to computer

type "adb devices" in a cmd/terminal

if it recognizes your device, it's not bricked

try "adb reboot bootloader" and see if it gets into bootloader. If it does, flash TWRP 2.0 and flash a ROM. Your device should now be usable.

If that doesn't work, you could probably download the bootloader file and push it to your phone but you'll have to ask someone else about that.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stretch2m:
I'm not finding any other posts about this, so please forgive me if this is well known.

I have installed Superclean, with the KGB kernel, and I'm using Pimp My CPU to overclock/underclock. While unplugged everything seems to work great, but when I plug in the charger, at some point the phone powers OFF. (I've seen complaints about the phone staying ON while charging but this is the opposite.) It's kind of a big deal since I use my phone as my alarm clock, and typically overnight is when I have it on the charger. So I can't afford for it to be spontaneously powering off while charging it.

So, any ideas about this? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Let me know if there is more information I can give about this issue. Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
Is it actually shutting down or just the screen shutting off? Check in applications then development and see if stay awake while charging is checked.

I'm running SC with latest KGB 12/12 and have not had this happen. Just a suggestion hope it helps.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stretch2m:
While plugged in I get the large green battery on the screen when I press power. When I unplug the charger, it boots just as from a powered-off state (boot animations, etc.). The "stay awake" option is NOT set, but I thought that option was just regarding the screen on/off, not the device power on/off. I guess I could try having that option on, and set the screen really dim -- at least then I could use the alarm clock feature while charging.
