[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbarrows:
First and only love ;)

The nexus s was my first android phone and I'm quite happy with it. My brothers have the Milestone and Desire HD and I have used a Nexus one, Motorola Cliq XT, Galaxy S , Galaxy Geo and Galaxy mini but none of them compare to my Nexus S ;) Vanilla Android is the way for me and I recommend it to anyone who wants to give android a try.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanlew:
I've had a few Android devices. There may have been an iDevice wedged somewhere in there but bah, never again. :D

Nexus One (sold)

Samsung Captivate

Samsung Infuse "4G" - daily driver because HSPA+ is too fast to give up

Samsung Nexus S (obviously, lol)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Amphibliam:
I upgraded using the globaltron method for the wifi tablet.

1. I can't get the English US language, only English UK. Any way to get it?

2. My tablet thinks its the EU version, and has things like SIM Unlock and Mobile Networks in settings. Any way to remove this?

3. When I turn off wifi, I see "no service" in my notification bar. Any way to stop this? Will this drain my battery?

Thanks so much.

EDIT: Yup Cell Standby is hitting up my battery for a serious amount.

To change ROMs do I just wipe and flash like any other device, or is there a special process since it's HC?

I had the same problem. Download "MoreLocale 2" from the Android Market. From there you can force the US English (the only real way to speak English). It is a quick fix not involving hacking and reflashing ROMs.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Raptor:
Is anyone aware of an app to allow sharing of the phones data connection through WiFi on the HTC Vivid?

Is rooting necessary?

FYI: I'm not interested in AT&T's official data sharing as I'd have to change from my grandfathered unlimited plan.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofthething:
So I finally found out that the Galaxy Vibrant 4G from T-Mobile now has an official update for Gingerbread. So since my mobile has been on Bionix Frost Custom ROM for long enough, I think I'll just update the phone. I'm aware that I'll loose the "root" feature, but my query is will I loose my network unlock? Also, will the contacts on the phone memory be wiped off too?

This is the first time I'm updating the phone. Since it was rooted before, should I bear some precaution before updating or is there a specific manner in which I should update?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:
Brick! Don't do it its not for 3G version I can guarantee u a brick
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
If you have a Samsung Vibrant (T959) and you try to flash a Galaxy S 4G ROM other than Bionix Frost that is posted in THIS dev section, you'll brick your phone.

Check out our section for Gingerbread ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofthething:
It says SGH-T959V as the model number and box confirms it's a 4G Vibrant (the one with Inception pre-loaded on it). I was actually planning to get the firmware updated via Kies, which is official update procedure, I presume. Are there still chances of bricking it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

Hi

I am new here and I would like to know some information please

I am on boost blackberry plan 60 dollars and I bought a htc evo with bad esn.

my question is can I use my boost blackberry 8530 as a donor phone ? or I need to get anther phone to use it as a donor ??

should I give it shot and try to flash it by myself? or take it to the shop ??

thank you very much for you help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KommodoreHeinz:
Cool story bro.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus:
I do not know if you can use a Blackberry 8530 as a donor. But I do know this... Blackberry data gets piped through the Blackberry servers owned by RIM. Is the data they'll send you compatible with your android device? Not sure. If it is not compatible then you might be stuck with a device with no data! If it is compatible then the compression RIM uses on their data is definitely going to be a factor. RIM is sending their data to a Blackberry browser... but the browser that you have on your android device is not the same.

Besides all that if you use Blackberry as a donor you'll definitely get stuck with the $60 a month service that Boost charges for their Blackberry devices. True it is not that much different from their android device pricing ($55/month)... but just thought I'd make you aware of the situation.

If you do use the Blackberry as the donor let us know how things are going. Pros cons etc. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Did google say anything about 4.0.3 for the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
From what I've heard, it was supposed to start rolling out already, Google found some quirks or bugs so they decided to pull it back. I'm sure we'll start to see it within a week or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Done "modding" my android phones. Causes nothing but issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donlad:
I disagree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I feel the same way. Caused me nothing but small heart attacks when I was flashing a rom and I thought I was bricking my phone.

Although I say that now but when I get my phone ill probably end up modding it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I've owned 10+ android phones in 3 years. Modding them/putting on different roms/etc would have its benefits, but in the end it just caused nothing but issues (either major or annoying minor ones).

And when I put the phone completely back to stock, it just never ran as good as it did when it really was stock before I started modding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wardo5757:
im in the same boat and totaly agree! give me root and CWM and im set... chasing the perfect rom is just that, a chase, and it goes on forever.. nothing worng with the chase, but its not for me anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdy2go:
+1 we all deserve timely updates here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That was in reference to the rollout OTA for the GSM Nexus S. It wasn't halted as much as they're doing a staggered rollout to catch bugs etc. and gauge reactions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tangiers:
+1 Learnt the lesson from the developer tablet, the Xoom. Rooted it expecting great advantages and then discovered rooted Xooms couldn't rent movies, no longer got ota updates (but still got the annoying update messages)....

I flashed my HTC because they didn't have the gingerbread update for the Desire z for months and to get rid of sense. Flashed my Samsung SG2 to get rid of touchwiz.

But don't see any reason to mess with Google's best efforts - particularly with Wallet and the like being a big part of this phone's future (the thought of some stranger having complete control over my system when using my phone to pay for things worries me).

Still no update in Australia. Still on 4.0.1 and my phone is the Google direct version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
+1

why buy a phone just to make it unstable and crash. * i got laughed at by iphone friends*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Informed modding enhances the functionality and experience of using the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
The chase stops when you stop looking for a ROM with all the features you want and make your own. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
I think it depends a lot on how much you are willing to mod for example, when I went and upgraded to 4.0.2 my radio updated as well which made my GPS useless so I modded and downgraded my radio back and I have never been happier.

And once voodoo mod makes its way to the galaxy nexus I don't think it would be easy just letting it slip by...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErGo_404:
So now you have to buy a phone and make your own software on top of it ?

I liked to flash mods on my Nexus One, it was fun, I found the CyanogenMod pretty good for me. But I did not root my Galaxy Nexus yet and I don't really feel the need to, except to get the official updates.

I think that as soon as Google released the 4.0.3 source code, they should have released the OTA for the Galaxy Nexus as well as the Nexus S. I compiled the official 4.0.3 from the source, but I can't flash it because I did not root my device. I find this a bit strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naerok:
You don't need to be rooted to "flash" what you built. Just fastboot oem unlock to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash the images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
Most definitely, but for now I'm back to stock;

Woke up this morning to find my phone bootlooping, I tried everything to rectify the problem, 2 slice of toast and a mug of tea later I had to resort to a factory image reflash at a cost of losing all of my data:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
Gotta love the chase! Especially with women.... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
I thought they postponed it for Nexus S because of high battery power consumption by Android OS process. Anyway, I too was wondering when it's going to pop up for us. Any more info on the matter ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErGo_404:
You're right. But rooting is not the real problem for me. My problem is unlocking and reseting the phone. I don't want to loose all my data (including game saves !) but the only way I can save them is ... to be root. I will do it eventually, but it still bothers me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beanchimp:
I have just got my Galaxy Nexus, and I have a Galaxy S that ive modded reflashed etc lots and lots of times

Its currently running ICS 4.03 from onecosmic (the Galaxy S) and yes lots of either minor or major issues, not everything working etc

Ive used Galnets, MIUI and onecosmic and gone from bootloops to camera not working (when you really need it to) apps not working, lost contacts SMS etc etc

Not saying im done with modding as I still have the N900 and Galaxy S for those LOL. But I will leave the Nexus alone for a while :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
That depends on when your carrier decides to roll it out. In my case, that could be awhile with Verizon. Although, two updates have already come out, and the phone was only released a few weeks ago, so not bad. If you want updates from Google, then you need a custom rom. Being stock, you have to wait until your carrier devises to release an update.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Why do you have to be rooted to backup, that's not true. Use a backup app from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beanchimp:
Has there not been an update to fix the audio issue that was reported a short while ago?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErGo_404:
Can the apps from the market backup all data from all installed apps ? I don't think so, but if they could, that would be a major security flaw. I don't care about backuping my contacts (they are synced), or messages, I just want to keep my save games.

I wonder if they pulled the 4.0.2 update too... I've got the unbranded Galaxy Nexus from the first batch from clove.co.uk and I'm still on 4.0.1, no update available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skrazz:
What Android build are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariusdroid:
I have the same ;problem 4.0.1 itl41f
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
they have likely pulled the update due to the battery life issues that have been experienced lately with 4.0.2 on the Galaxy Nexus and 4.0.3 on the Nexus S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
In Stallman's Utopia, everyone's a developer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaymondScrott:
I suspect that it is indeed correct that some of us are still sitting on 4.01 because of issues with the later releases but why do Google not issue announcements? Where is the customer care? An ill-informed customer tends to be an angry customer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Releasing update roadmaps is not the purview of customer care. That is a concern typically only for IT departments and for developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Mine usually stops at CM, if not, I always find myself going back to CM. At the end of the day, the perfect ROM imho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daern:
Ive got 4.0.2 here and battery life is as expected and no worse than 4.0.1 IME.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeProcopio:
the great thing about the GNex is that you don't necessarily have to run custom anything on the phone, root it so you can backup your phone...you could throw a couple of simple mods on it, like the reboot options, which i find to be awesome...and leave it very close to stock...

but the easiest thing to do would be to run a cleaned up version of the stock rom...get the benefits of being on the stock OS, but the phone is a little "lighter" in the software department....

but this is one phone you don't have to do a thing to if you choose not to...but CM9 is going to be AWESOME...and this is a fully supported "DEV" phone, so all resources are available to the DEVs...shouldn't have the issues that other phones have that aren't supported to be DEV'd on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sppatel:
Got a link to the reboot options mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DL16:
Also in agreement. I rooted both my wife's incredible and my own. I enjoyed having the CM experience and miui. Mine worked ok, with the occasional reboot in miui and google framework services errors in CM. my wife's experience, however, was a different story. From missing calls and texts, to constant reboots and fc's, she was pissed at me for rooting her phone. Stock in general just works. And ICS is gorgeous IMO.

My only reserve in not rooting is wifi tether. Anyone have any recs on tethering without root ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Giving roadmaps and dates will cause more trouble than letting it roll out normally. I'm sure it'd be nice to get a PR announcement about the update but does it really matter? It won't do anything to the speeds of the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Give them some time, it's holiday season ...

Most probably some key Android developers are on holiday somewhere with their family.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErisMike:
You're misinformed. Verizon customers are getting their updates from Google and verizon isnt involved in the process in any way. That is the whole POINT of a Nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
There are other builds of ICS on some devices that don't get updates from Google. Verizon is one of them, because they do include some of their apps.

So much for the point of Nexus. As well as being network locked if purchased on a contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
4.0.3 hit my phone the day I activated it, Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
Not that I don't believe you, but hard to imagine Verizon not getting involved in updates, or Samsung for that matter. I guess that's why it's called "pure Google"

That's really good news, as long as they keep them coming. Thank you for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdg7:
If your talking about a Verizon version, that OTA update was 4.0.2. The phone was sold as 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emuneee:
Verizon will have to be involved with updates to the GN if only for the LTE radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Believe what you want, but Verizon is involved. They have to add their network stack for CDMA and LTE, test it on the network, and check compatibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
What is this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
JBQ confirmed, unless I'm mistaken, that it was a reasonable assumption to believe LTE/CDMA OTAs would come directly from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X-Ter:
Google should do what Apple does and release a beta version for devs to play around with. That way, they would have a much larger base of people testing the latest updates so bugs will be found faster, plus devs will be able to make their apps for the latest version on older hardware. Right now there is a lack of optimized ICS apps (with the action bar) but if they had released a beta, devs with the Nexus S could have already created apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They did this. The ICS SDK has been out for months now for devs to start making ICS apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErisMike:
Exactly. Anyone saying otherwise is either spreading misinformation on purpose or simply basing their opinions on Verizon's previous behavior with other phones. Bottom line is ALL Galaxy Nexus phones get their updates from Google. Some will recieve MINOR regional tweaks but verizon wireless is not one of those cases.

Edit: apparently i cant post lijks until i hit 8 posts. Just seach galaxy nexus on androidcentral for the relevant article discussing this topic. Phones with mysid and yakuj builds come directly from google. Verizons nexus has the mysid build on it.

If you can post another source that quotes google as saying otherwise I'll believe you. Short of that quit trolling and educate yourself before you post with such misplaced certainty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes they come from google. But to say that Verizon is not at all involved in the update process is just ignorant. When it comes down to it they have to test before going out. No network (especially as big and influential as Verizon US) is stupid enough to let it be rolled out without approval.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErisMike:
This is based on what? Your opinion? Your best guess? The dog out back who barks you insider info? Ive provided facts and places you can go to check them. Youve done nothing but post what you THINK will happen. Post a source for your info and then I'll believe you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
First off you're being horribly confrontational, and it surely isn't helping your argument (and you haven't posted any facts or places to find them. You can't post links :P). That aside, Verizon's CDMA and LTE network stacks are proprietary. They're made by Verizon for Verizon. They are given to Google for use. Every time there's an update, it must be checked on the network. Its not in either Google or Verizon's best interest to release an update without testing of all types. Updates are tested and verified to be working before going out by Verizon. There is absolutely no reason why this would not be the case.

Let me direct you here. To save you the trouble I pulled a quote:

I'm not saying that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will have updates that are delayed severely or are less adequate than the GSM version. But you're absolutely ignorant to think that Verizon doesn't play a part in testing/releasing OS updates for a phone on its network, even if it is a Nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotchy:
How long does it take for when you first get the phone to get the volume bug fix sent through? I check for updates but nothing as of yet. Had the phone 2 full days yet and seen the volume bug happen once :( still a good phonee though :D

sorry if this is the wrong thread but its on about updating lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyerwire:
You are wrong, step back from the edge and accept the fact that you are wrong. Life gets easier after that.

Google provides the updates with input/testing from verizon

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psijac:
I think if Verizon gave free wifi tether i think a lot of people would not root their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
I am sure google is working very hard on getting 4.0.3 out as fast as it can seems this will be the base version for all new ICS devices out there.

And think about the poor Motorola users who potentially have to wait until Q2 or later and I believe the same for Sony users to get their slice of ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
I do hope you're right. As for the working hard part.
