[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
Hi,

I have a stock Nexus S with ICS (4.0.3) manually installed over 2.3.6 (Vodafone UK). My phone has started acting strangly over the last couple of weeks where it would get stuck at the Google logo. I have taken out the battery and then inserted it back again and then it always used to work.

Today, the kids made a snowman and I took it out to take a picture. Turned on the camera but could not press the button for taking the pic. Turned off the phone but when turned back on, it was stuck at Google. I have taken out the battery several times but it is still stuck at the google logo.

It is highly unlikely that water got into it as I have a protective cover and it was not dropped.

I have tried to get it into recovery but I cannot go beyond the initial screen. When I click on recovery, it gets stuck at the Google logo again.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks so much. Unfortunately, I have a weird problem as I am unable to unlock the bootloader. I typed "fastboot oem unlock" and then, it give me a prompt so ask whether I was sure etc. etc. I click on the volume up, selected yes and then clicked the power button.

The bootloader screen still says "LOCKED STATE - LOCKED".

Please help....

Hi,

Managed to download the file the second time, thanks. The following error message appeared when I executed the command:

sending 'bootloader' (1536 KB)... OKAY

writing 'bootloader'... FAILED (remote: Bootloader Locked - Use "fastboot oem un

lock" to Unlock)

Off course, fastboot oem unlock does not work....

What to do now?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
Thank you very much. U are a star. I will now try Vodafone warranty/support and just take it from there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlatDinger:
Having just suffered the same problem (unrooted not unlocked) with my Nexus S (stuck on Google screen at boot up and recovery doing nowt - clearing cache not working) I did the crazy thing of removing the battery and warming the phone with a hair-dryer then when it was warm stuck battery back in and suddenly it boots OK! Phone works ok but I think I still have the problem although at the moment I'm not prepared to turn it off to check.

I'm not sure why this worked, and I still think something is either wrong with the phone or ICS 4.0.3 - anyone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshk6656:
I'm seeing a bunch of people having the issue after the ICS OTA including myself. It has to be something with the update.

Right my phone is bootlooping and cannot unlock the bootloader in fastboot. I am hoping to be in touch with Adam about the resurrector, since it seems to not be working with the t-mobile version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
It may be sensible to downgrade back to 2.3.6 while this problem is sorted. Our smartphones are a very important part of lives and up-time is more important than extra functionality.

How would that work considering that the bootloader cannot be unlocked and we cannot boot into recovery? The resurrector???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwaidan:
The problem a few of you here are describing are a classical Nexus S problem, it burns out the mainboard , the so called PBA ( phone board assembly )

turn it in at your nearest service center, say that you get stuck at the google logo with the 4 buttons lit up, which i take is your case even though you pull out your battery and stick it back in, i had the same problem, in the start it worked just fine with taking out battery and putting it back in, but it got worse over time and suddenly when i ran out of power one day, i couldn't for the life of me boot my phone back up again, must have taken out the battery 25-50 times and try to boot it.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6bd0b738bd5ab761&hl=en

big thread about it here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
So, what you are saying is that because the mainboard has burned out, it is stuck at the Google logo?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwaidan:
Basicly yes, because it cannot boot from the internal sd card when it's burned out, if you read that thread in the link i posted, you will see that your far from the only one with that problem, i had it and turned it in at my nearest service center, took them 6 days, i delivered it the 2nd feb and got mine back the 8th, a weekend was included in those days, so if you deliver yours on monday, you should have it back by friday latest , its covered by the basic 2 year warranty from samsung, its a known problem they have.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashifmeh:
Hi,

Just got my phone back from Vodafone. The covering letter confirmed that the main board has been replaced and it is now working fine.

However, it is now at 2.3.4, which is a shame. Strangely, the baseband version is still I9023XXKD1. build number is GRJ22. Wonder whether I will ever get an OTA update to ICS with this configuration??

Many thanks to everyone for their help.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] epic118:
AceOSP is the only FULLY-WORKING AOSP ROM based upon CM7. It's the pure Google experience. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. And it's free to download!

Wait a minute. If this is based upon CM7, then how can it be AOSP? :confused:

Allow me to explain. All CyanogenMod tweaks are removed. If you can find any UI remains of CyanogenMod, I will pay you. [not literally, just tell me via PM and I'll fix the issue]

Why base it on CM7 when you could compile from AOSP?

In AOSP ROMs, there are recurring issues, such as the brightness/sounds issues and some hardware issues. CM7 works fully, so I based it upon that and removed CM7 traces.

Now, there IS an issue. This ROM is based on CyanogenMod. The notification power widget was enabled by default. So what I did was turn all tweaks off before I removed CMParts.apk. The data that controls if that appears or not is in the userdata. And I can't figure out how to make an update.zip restore to some userdata. So I've packaged the ROM into a ClockworkMod Nandroid backup. So for now, you'll have to restore to a Nandroid backup.

(Download the zip, extract it, and then find the nandroid_AceOSP folder that is made - copy that to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, reboot into recovery, choose backup and restore -> restore, and then find nandroid_AceOSP, select it, when done, reboot)

Bugs

- Factory resetting in any means will restore the Notification power widget and CyanogenMod's 'Ring' lockscreen. To do a factory reset, restore from the backup again.

- Changing volume, brightness or accessing battery use causes settings to FC. Changing the former two using other methods, like volume buttons and power control seems to work fine.

Download Link

Click here to download AceOSP 1.0

Update AceOSP

You must update to the version NEXT to yours.

For example, if you are running 1.0, and you want to go to 1.0.2, you must install 1.0.1 first

1.0 -> 1.0.1

1.0.1 changes the bootanimation from CM7's to Android's default. Get it here!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] consegregate:
It is not aosp.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] epic118:
I'm sure it is - CyanogenMod is AOSP with tweaks. This ROM is based upon S5830's CyanogenMod, but with the tweaks removed. Thus doesn't that make this AOSP?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] CallMeVentus:
Userdata.img = same as data.img , can be used with dsixda's Android Kitchen .

The people who don't compile.....I feel so.....alone and isolated .

Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] consegregate:
Then it'll be a non functioning cyanogenmod, not aosp rom.

Unlock delay still there. Battery percentage still jumpy. A really clean aosp will not be like that, in fact it'll be similar in function to all cyanogenmod roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] CallMeVentus:
Well , the thing is that I even have the unlock delay in my R , Backflip and Defy.....so it's definitely something else .

Herpderp Defy.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxerman:
Hi everybody,

İ just bought S2 and i have some problems with contacts.

I setup my exchange active mail. I can send and recieve with no prob.

When i compose a mail and want to send some body, i just write the name and it searches from the server and finds the correct recipents.

I searched from the internet how to find a contact name from server and find a solution like this.

Go to contacts, press long the touch button and search bar appears.and then, click search online.Up to now everything is OK.

But, for ex, when i search my name: erman, searxh comes with no result.Mostly same for other names.Only i searched abd, it comes with the names abdullah, for ex: gul, came with the result gulfer, gulfem, gulsun.....

These are ok but, why other names dont come?

Please help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrabett:
Bought this phone two weeks ago, rooted, installed Clockworkmod recovery but kept the stock Android 4.0.1 ITL41F, and lost USB connectivity after one week - can only charge the phone when it is turned off, and no fastboot or adb (tested from Win 7 and Debian, ten times).

So: I'll have to return it to stock without fastboot and adb. Any tips?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nerfsuperball:
might be a dumb suggestion. But have you tried other usb cords for the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrabett:
If I tried different USB cables? - Indeed.

I made some progress...hopefully. I installed a new rom through Rom Manager, and it allows adb connection through WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NookMonkey:
I tried to use a USB cable from an old LG phone and the cable would not either charge or connect the GN to USB...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaQHoliday:
Having this same issue, even ordered and replaced the USB port/board.

Still the same issue. Can only charge the phone from a wall outlet, it immediately shuts down if I connect to a PC or my Fidelio dock. Now I have to figure out how to return it to stock so that I can get a warranty replacement. =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catire:
What's the problem? getting the rom onto your device? Use airdroid or something similar, there should be CWM flashable versions of the stock rom out there...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrabett:
Well, that does not remove CWM, right? - I would assume that many service technichans, even those working with mobile phones, have the ability to spot it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeren:
1.If you want the stock one, just download a stock rom from your phone itself, then flash it through cmw. Next step, you download the stock recovery (cmw zip) and flash it;this will get rid of the custom recovery...

2. This is something I haven't tried on the gnex but i am certain will work. Download the odin rom for the gnex and flash it with the odin app chainfire released on the market. It is an app allowing you to flash odin files directly from your phone

Has anyone tried either? And by trying, I mean has anyone submerged their phone with these treatments.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I wouldn't try it. Every time you remove the batter cover, you'll have to reapply. If you keep your phone in your pocket, who knows when that stuff will wear off the phone. Just look for a water proof case, if your afraid of getting your phone wet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
This is isn't true for Liquipel. Their technology works a bit different in the fact that they ionize the phone in a vacuum with the chemical they use for waterproofing by releasing the chemical then release the vacuum so it bonds itself to every nook and cranny the phone has, making a waterproof bond at (I believe as far as) the atomic level. Very interesting technology... Though, it does NOT make the phone capable of just being completely submerged into water without being affected. They still recommend letting the phone dry out if it is submerged, but the water itself won't affect much. Hence they're "worry free" motto.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking... I was just curious to see if anyone had any personal experience with the products?

It's not like I'm particularly worried about my phone getting wet, but over the years I have spilled water/drinks on various phones. Fortunately, I've never had one suffer any kind of permanent damage.

Also I'm not too keen on stuffing a phone that has it's thinness as one of it's features into a bulky case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
I personally haven't, no, but people have been raving about liquipel since CES saying it's the best behind actually getting a waterproof case.

I also contacted them a few weeks back wondering if they will liquipel Skyrockets even though they're not on their phone list and they said they will. All you have to do is select a phone on the list and state that you're knowingly sending a different phone in the notes.
