[Nexus S General] Cralis:
Hi guys,

I'd like to update my wife's Nexus S, but the OTA is delayed, and I'm not even sure it will get an OTA update to ICS. Hopefully someone can guide me.

It's bought from Handtec in the UK, but now lives in Australia.

Model: Nexus S

Version: 2.3.6

Baseband: I9020XXKF1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7.gf5f63ef androind-build@apa28 #1

Build: GRK39F

Based on that, I'd like to know - will I get the OTA update when it finally gets released?

And is there a safe manual update to the latest ICS I can do?
[Nexus S General] marcelnn:
Yes, that's the same as mine (I9023).

It will get the OTA eventually, as will all Nexus S devices.

For now it's stopped for some, it seems. Not clear which ones.
[Nexus S General] Cralis:
Thanks for that!

I just bit the bullet, and followed these (rather simple) instructions, and hey presto! 5 minutes later, I'm on ICS 4.0.3

[Nexus S General] gentk:
well some wish they were in your position. :)

I got ICS quite soon, but am suffering from the kernel bug or whatever that keeps the phone awake a lot, hence horrible battery performance.
[Nexus S General] surdu_petru:

Connect your phone with PC via USB. Enter the recovery, and place boot.img file on your SD card.

Re-install ROM and it should boot up with in no time.
[TouchPad Development] JeffHoogland:
Posting this hoping some of the CM developers on the touch pad visit this section of the forums -

I was wondering if anyone knows which kernel modules are in use on CM7 that are allowing the touchpad to have full 3D and working audio under the OS. Working on getting Debian running fully on the touchpad hardware and these are two hurdles I need to get over next.

~Jeff
[TouchPad Development] mr_clean5953:
Not the place for this. Use Q and A
[TouchPad Development] scrizz:
this is development related...
[TouchPad Development] JSmurfy:
i would have let that sit just to let whoever replied enjoy i and think about it.

and yes this is dev related.. but anyway Merry xmas to all
[TouchPad Development] JeffHoogland:
Yes it is. So that makes this the right place to post this question right?

At any rate anyone know the answer to my question? I was hoping someone would know off hand so I don't need to wipe my Debian install to load up CM7 myself.

~Jeff
[TouchPad Development] havikx:
not the proper place to post this question. try other development thread.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Why would you need to wipe your Debian install to install CM7?
[TouchPad Development] JeffHoogland:
Link? There are multiple Android threads for TP floating around these boards...

Lack of space. These things lack external storage remember :)

[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Yes, I am very familiar with the storage characteristics of these devices.

Just curious what you've filled your device with, now. :)

If you mean the kernel compiling, maybe you can check the tenderloin kernel build in github

I wish I can also find the CM7 source code for TP but it seems been pulled off from github, you can check the work of preludedrew but the rom I built from his code does not work well for 3D acceleration and other stuffs (or maybe I have done something wrong in compiling...)

Hope this helps

I know I saw an app mentioned on here that made the volume louder , but I can't think of what it was. So does anyone know an app that makes your phone volume louder? Thanks and merry Xmas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidstyle:
I believe its volume control +
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gjgraf91:
voodoo control plus - but i'm not sure if it's compatible yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
Volume+

If you go to dev's site, you can download the paid version for free.

Not volume control or voodoo.

Search for it... if I were you, I would just support the dev and buy his app off the market. It's only $1.62
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
You don't want Volume control.

You want this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.FREE.android.lvh&feature=search_result

Here's the paid version and it's worth the money imo: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&feature=search_result

Try setting it to 8 or 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smartstradamus:
As mentioned in one of the above posts...

The app you want is volume+ and you can find it in the market, only the paid version will give your any noticeable volume increase or alternatively you can click the "visit developers site" link below the description from the market when accessing it through your pc or at the bottom the page when accessing the market from your handset.

If you get it straight from the developers site then the full version is free but you will need to "allow installation of non market apps" on your device.

Hopefully this post made sense

after reverting back with acclaim_update.zip to 1.4.0 I'm unable to install tgps_launcher.apk or AppMenu.apk to enable usb debugging to re-root it. anyone having this issue or next idea? thanks in advance.

device history:

1. rooted on 1.4.0

2. did not know about update 1.4.1 coming down to blocked it and it updated automagically

3. Tried up/down hold power 8 times for factor default but still went back to 1.4.1. (appears to have also updated the recovery partition if there is one)

4. Installed acclaim_update.zip but when it reboot the "n" was not functioning. factory defaulted again using "n"/power 8 times.

5. register device and download tgps_launcher.apk and AppMenu.apk but error on following choices.

App installer: Unable to install This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.

package installer: Parse error There is a problem parsing the package.

I did not unroot but was experiencing dead spots on my display like an annoyance bug while using sudoku. Thinking of taking it back to barnes if they can't play nice

It's unfortunately everything with ICS. I spent quite a while getting things to work...eventually. Go back to 2.3.4. if you want fortunately, which is what I've done.:)

ok cool thx for the info.. I guess I'll head back until it's alot more Stable... A refreshed phone is really nice anyways lol
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Don't know whether you've tried virtuous 2.2.3 but it's as good, if not better than official XE rom. I compared it with a friend's XE. Only thing missing is the color red for me.

You'll need V13 kernel though. The one that comes with 2.2.3 is a bit off.:D

Actually i'm using 3.6.8, and i'm really exited to use 5.x.x but i have read that is not really stable at moment and with a lot of bugs, i'll wait too.

If you have crashes with a ROM, don't complain about it, just switch to another ROM that is more stable for you. don't waste people's time complaining about things, just use your imitative and change to a different ROM

Yes.

yes it does. I am using the extended battery I bought through verizon with included battery cover. Otterbox commuter fits well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] octomobiki:
I'm not sure why you are saying if it works with one it won't work "well" with the other. I have both batteries and have tried the case out with both. there is no loose fitmenet. everything is snug. Seriously, are we talking about millimeters worth of differences?

The way the case works is that it is first a "silicone type" case that wraps around it. then it fits into a plastic (or whatever it is) outer shell. Everything is very tight. Before saying something is or is not a good case, you should try it.

You will see more apps available if you downgrade your market. Not sure the version. This is the best workaround I know, or do what I do. I just push my density to stock when I need an app or once a week to look for updates. All it takes is a quick edit and a reboot...

Vibration is a little mechanism that has nothing to do with signal/antenna contact pin. Did you check all the setting and apps? Some apps are able to disable vibration as per user's setting or even by default ... sometimes restart the phone also solved the problem as well

Did you reverse the tweaked process (took off the foil that you put it) and see what happened. Good luck!

[HTC Sensation] OuncE718:
As the title states, I've switched from the Galaxy S II (T-Mobile variant) to the Sensation. While most people might say why would you do such a thing hear me out first. I was offered $200 cash and a mint condition Sensation with all accessories included for my GSII and I needed cash (Christmas to blame) .

I am honestly impressed with the Sensation. Browser scrolling is a million times faster and smoother than the GSII, the screen looks gorgeous on the Sensation (no pixelation at all thanks to QHD). The only thing I miss with the GSII is the gorgeous video/picture quality and louder speaker. Surprisingly I've noticed that my data connection is even better.

I also love that the dev community is larger over here.

EDIT: I've owned a Sensation 4g when it first came out and had nothing but hell with it. This Sensation doesn't overheat, doesn't have signal issues or screen issues like the one I had way back. I love this phone.
[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
Nice to hear and welcome bro!
[HTC Sensation] OuncE718:
Thanks for the welcome. Although its more like a welcome back since I've owned this phone before. I definitely love this phone. Don't get me wrong the GSII was a great phone also.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Interesting to get a proper comparison between the two from somebody will actual experience (instead of the 'my dad could bash your dad' type comments we usually see).

I looked at the GSII before getting my sensation and generally didn't like the feel of it in my hand. That might sound like a lame reason but in reality there isn't much difference in the hardware, and software / firmware is pretty much irrelevant once you root it :D
[HTC Sensation] lordcloud1:
I've been playing around with my mother in laws Tmobile SGII, and there are definitely pros and cons to both.

I love the screen size of the Samsung. It's damn near perfect in that regard. And let's not even talk about the black level and colors. They both outclass the sensation. But the resolution jump is definitely noticeable on the sensation. I'd love the Samsung screen with higher resolution.

As far as speed and smoothness goes, sometimes the Samsung is kinda choppy and slow. The sensation seems a bit zippier to me sometimes. Both stock.

But, if given the chance to trade for a Samsung.......I'm not so sure I wouldn't.

[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
The Sensation and the Galaxy S2 came out around the same time to go against each other and both are really good phones. Sucks that we had to wait until 2 months ago for the S2 to come to the states, if not then I would have probably gotten the S2. But then again I've always been an HTC person and love the build quality on their phones. But one thing, I've been following the Sensation since the pyramid rumors and really couldn't give up.
[HTC Sensation] OuncE718:
I honestly don't mind Samsung's plastic build. Its not that bad in my opinion. It surprisingly is sturdy. The battery cover is the only piece IMO that feels cheap. Especially when peeling it off.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Haha well, the Snapdragon SGS2 we get in the states isn't nearly the same as the Exynos version of Europe. Either way, good to hear I'm not missing out on much with the TMOUS SGS2. :p

Interesting how you said data is better on the Sensation. How about cellular signal? Do you notice a drop with the Sensation's stupid battery cover antenna?

Oh and welcome back. And Merry Christmas. :)
[HTC Sensation] OuncE718:
The GSII outshines this phone in just about every department spec wise. Larger battery (1850 mah with NFC chip), 2mp front cam, louder speaker, etc. Also maybe its just me but the screen on this phone doesn't feel as sensitive as my GSII did when texting on the keyboard.

I AM NOT BASHING THIS PHONE IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM!

On another note, I do love how optimized the software is. TouchWiz was a little choppy and laggy for me. Sense 3.0 feels so smooth. I also love having a led flash even though there's alternative apps that can serve as a notification for the GSII. I am even more than grateful for our dev community (even though my phone isn't rooted yet). I think the screen size on the Sensation is just right. The GSII's screen was a little too. Wide and long for my fingers. The phone would often hurt my fingers trying to pull down the notification bar for example. Users with larger hands would love the GSII's screen real estate. I love both phones equally.
