can you tell me your radio version, I agree and would like to try that.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Try a different kernel (and update your data profile). I had the same issue on Speedy. I've also had GPS issues with it.

My completely unsubstantiated guess is that Speedy (as well as several other kernels) does not have sufficient voltage available for the core hardware. This may not be evident at first. I had a kernel run fine for a week. Then I got into an area with 0-1 bars while using navigation and streaming radio, and the GPS quit working. GPS is on; screen is on; radio is at full power. If there's not enough power to go around, something's got to give. (This could also happen when you get down to 15% battery, when there's less voltage available to begin with.) Oh, but that's not all. Then the UI gets really laggy. Data speeds go to crap. So does IO. Agenda widget takes 15 seconds to reload instead of 1. Titanium backup takes 45 minutes instead of 5-10. Maybe a battery pull and dalvik wipe gets things running smooth again. Maybe it takes a full wipe and updating the data profile. Bugless Beast is the only kernel I've tried yet that is 100% stable (so long as you do not overclock it). Trinity T132 2012.123 @ 1000 MHz could be a contender, but its too soon to tell.

As for the radio, I think the latest, LC1, is the best one yet. There are a places North, East, and West of town that are right on the fringe where this phone always drop signal. I told my wife she should ditch Sammy for Moto next time, because it drives her nuts. But on LC1, for the first time we can drive through those same areas without dropping calls. How could they accomplish this without modifying the antenna hardware? Perhaps by tweaking the driver to increase the power. Maybe Sammy tweaked the power profile in their latest kernel to accommodate this. I don't know. But your kernel can't give it what it needs, so when the radio cranks up the power to the new beast levels, it stalls.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mkpoto:
quote tried it and still having issues, any suggest a kernel I should try?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] magicwands:
I switched to the matr1x kernel and I flashed the tether fix and I am pretty sure all is right with the world. It'll take a day or so to know for sure but I think I'm good. Thanks for all the help, cheers!

@ krarvind

Just an update, I sent my NS4G back to samsung, and the last status I got was that they replaced the damaged component (internal SD) and is awaiting shipment back to me. As soon as its back, I should be back on Slim. Blackberry is ok, but I miss my android phone. BB cant tether to my TF101 Tab so its been sucking lately without it. Just thought I would let you know. :D

PS. Sorry for clogging the thread but I'm just happy to be back soon.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
Good stuff, welcome back
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
Is there a way to update PRL/Profile on this rom?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fergie716:
You can try dialing

*22803 for PRL

*22805 for data profile

(don't forget to press the phone icon like your making an actual phone call)

These codes work with aokp m5
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] waqasr:
I am using NexusMV Rom which is based of CM9,

Can you use the update function in about Phone section

to update the profile and PRL?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
^If you have the option available I would assume yes.

It is not readily available in this slim ROM.

Thanks ferg. I forgot what the numbers were.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Loving this rom, its fricken epic to the bones!

Having no troubles at all actually this the first rom I ever sticked with. Haha.

Keep up the great work guy! Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fisher1991:
I changed the LCD density to 160 and when I go to use the phone app it says com.android.phone has stopped is there a fix or do I have to change the LCD density?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
182 is the lowest phone will work
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fisher1991:
Sweet thanks man loving the rom been using it for 2 weeks straight
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
Hey dev,

When you said video effects don't work .Did you mean various scenes while taking video?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:

4G Toggle

When are we going to get a 4G toggle for the notification drawer? That is the only thing missing to make this ROM perfect.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
Hey my phone was at like 75% battery then I went to a movie and it died during the movie when I was not using it at all. When I charged it android os was like 79% usage of the battery. Why did that happen and what exactly murdered my battery?

Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Check and see if you have any wake lock issues and calibrate your battery. This is not normal.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Not bad.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] genaro12543:
That picture is so wack
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Agreed. Why even post this? You charged it like 3 or 4 plus times during the day? What's that showing anyone?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] gulrezm:
thats happened to me many times at the theatre...the signal is very low inside the theatre and you are constantly looking for signal. if you are in a no-signal zone just turn off data and wifi and you should be fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
One thing that I've noticed in this and previous version is the inability to use single picture frame widget. It works for gallery widgets but when I try to use single pictures, after selecting the pic and pressing crop, phone freezes and reboots. Do you guys have this bug?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] morriscode:
I accidentally posted this in the S II forum instead of here.

When I enable Wifi hotspot it disables my 3g.. Is it this ROM or is it my firmware? Is this happening to anyone else? And is there a workaround if so :)

Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fr3dw4rd:
I always thought that when you used hotspot your data was supposed to turn off, at least with like Sprint's hotspot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Relax guys it was only a picture?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
When I flashed this rom, after the phone booted all I had was the black bar at the bottom .

Isn't the launcher with some icons should show up atleast ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
3.7 Released- Read Changelog carefully and my recommended installation for 3.7
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mixtapes08:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
Goes everyone's battery life? I have to charge a lot through out the day
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
Flashed the new version and essentials there was no phone signal on the phone. Checked the phone info and base and field was empty .

Doesn't the base has the baseband included ????
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
Try to redownload and/or reflash. Make sure you do a full wipe.

Also my battery was great on this. Charged once or twice a day.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I am unable to pull any email keep on getting the message below ..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Smartguy10,

Try rebooting after installing it from update me, that may help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] montblanc09:
I haven't update since 3.3 (I know... been busy), so I was wondering what's the latest version of removed apps?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
I got it from his website, but I think this is the usual removed apps.

Genie Widget

GoogleFeedback

GooglePartnerSetup

Stock ICS launcher

LiveWallpapers

MarketUpdater

MediaUploader

OpenWnn

SetupWizaerd

VideoEditor

VoiceSearch

Youtube

But other then that , he updated oi file manager in 3.7.

I love his roms! xD

EDIT: Oh its in the OP. Haha. xD
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Removed apps rarely change, usually stated in OTA if they are. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] w8setter:
What is change log website is down.:(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
Getting the same thing..with a few reboots running?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Have you guys try installing Exchange for the email apk?

Because my email apk works just fine here.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] QuBe2:
a little question how did you got mtp working ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I flashed the addtional fonts but they did not get applied how do I apply them.

What's the best kernel settings for battery life
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
In recovery mode, go to mount & storage, then mount system & data , then flash additional fonts. See if that works.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
That didn't work, I also noticed that with the stock kernel 4g trys to connect and then disconnect.

I guess need to try matrix to see if same issue happens .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Hmmmm.. then I'm not sure what's wrong, sorry..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fergie716:
I'd like to know this as well please. Trying to get MTP to work on MIUI ICS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
What are the kernel settings which give good battery life on this rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kunalp83:
does this rom have the data connection issue where a reset is needed if you go into an area with no reception and when you get signal back the data can't connect again until a reset is done?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I am seeming a rapid discharge of battery don't why what's causing it .How can I find out what's causing it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
I used to get 8-10 hours, now I average 3-4 ..not sure why it drains so fast
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
use better battery stats or something like that to investigate fellas. i can assure its not the ROM. i get fantastic battery staying stock slim in GNex and Sgs. Used to get great in NS when i had it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
I agree with the above post. I just recently switched back to AOKP (crack flasher, sorry dude) but when I ran this I had amazing battery life. Always at least 13-14 hours per charge.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I did look at battery life did not see anything weired, screen is using 50% of battery and it's set to go dim after 5 minutes .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I also noticed the battery drain on the Gomez rom so don't know if its a ics issue or not ...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
What is your governor setting?

What is your screen brightness setting?

What widgets are you using that are actively polling for information and what are the intervals?

Do you use wifi at all? Do you turn off wifi when you are not using it?

How good is your 3G service when not using wifi? Bad service can cause the phone to keep searching for connections which will drain the battery. This goes for wifi as well. If you have bad data service turn the phone on Airplane mode or use wifi. There are apps that can set this up automatically for you.

Change the screen to dim at 1 minute or 2 as well.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Well I have experienced the same issue. I had the ASS Power saving settings to turn off data and wifi when the screen was off turning data on every 15 minutes to pulse a sync, 4 bars of service, no WiFi off of the charger, no 4g ever (rare that I use it), all my widgets refresh on the same interval (which should only work when the screen comes on according to my ASS Power saving settings) and screen brightness is always on auto, ondemand gov, no OC at all. Screen dims after 1 minute. I did notice that the ASS Power saving settings weren't sticking when I applied them. When I turned the screen on the 3g icon was there with blue bars. Before I would have just gray bars initially with no 3g and then data would connect seconds later. (which is what the power saving settings is supposed to do) Didn't have this problem with these identical settings on 3.6 so I restored to that just an hour ago. Ill see how it goes. Also to further clarify, I do a manual factory reset (no scripts) then format boot, and system in CW before installing 3.7 (or any rom for that matter).

UPDATE.. 3.6 is running great. Not sure what's up with 3.7 but my phone is getting great battery life again on 3.6.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
In order to your question , I am running 3G , no wifi , bluetooth . Governer is on demand with min 100 and max 1000. Attached is the screenshot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
I always have good signal, not much wifi, auto brightness on, stock processor values,just switch governed to conservative...

I don't us many apps.

I get random reboots that chop chunks off my battery too.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Traxion82:
Seems like everytime I update I have to install and configure the email client. Is there something wonky going on with my phone or is this by design? If it's intended, I'd like to suggest leaving the email app in the essentials package as well as the exchange portion.;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ircsmith:
wow am I way behind! still running 3.2! I just have no issues to speak of.

in short what will change if I upgrade to 3.7? what do I stand to gain? any reasons that you can think of to upgrade are appreciated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] v3rk:
on 3.7 camera closes when trying to enable the camcorder effects. i know it worked on 3.5
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
v3rk is right camera does closes with video effects ...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
It will if you don't flash face unlock zip. I have said this many times and in my change log. Might even have it in FAQ
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I did flashed face unlock.zip camera still closes. If you like I can email you the logcat.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
when did you d/l face unlock
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I downloaded fc last week , is there a new version posted ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
try d/l the new version will be around 35 mbs or so
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
is anyone else having issues downloading apps from update me? seems like regardless of which app i choose (t9 for example), i get an error message: "there was an error in the file download". i also just updated update me to version 1.3.1 and still no change. ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Are the GPS issues resolved with the stock kernel?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
clear app data
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
Thanks flashing the new version of face unlock fixed the issue.

what was the reason for camera fc
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
not having the required files

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fr3dw4rd:
It's missing gallery, should I pull it from the old rom?

scratch that, Just found in in update me. Sorry!

Krarvind:

Could you possibly shed some light on how to get MTP working properly please?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
I seem to be having a lot of strange issues with the latest release 3.8, even though I did a clean install. After a day of use, I've reverted to 3.7.

I did nandroid though and so I might go back to it and pull the logcat; however, briefly:

Several lockups (or rather soft reboots that simply wouldn't ever load back into the OS) that required battery pulls. I cleared caches and fixed permissions at least twice both from recovery and from the boot options in Slim settings. This was all on stock kernel and settings. I tried upping the minimum processor speed to 200mhz and that didn't help either.

Flickering apps. Definitely Facebook and one other i can't recall. The app would kind of pop in and out from the right side of the screen.

Lockscreen issues. Again, from Slim settings I'd set up a quad lockscreen with calendar enabled. It worked for a while. At some point I tried to enable the owner info from stock android and that never came on. (I've since noticed it doesn't work in 3.7 either). Either way, I'm not sure when the calendar stopped appearing, but it was either related to enabling (and later disabling) the owner description option or one of the bootloops I mentioned above or a combination of both.

I use Volume+ to boost volume on my phone (works with other devices too, including the Gnex... I recommend it), but I'm not sure it works with v. 3.8 because there's no "Music Effects" settings menu under Settings -> Sound. It was there in previous releases.

Lastly, as has been the case for the last couple releases, I'm having an awful time getting GPS to work. It took more than 5 minutes to get a lock even while using GPS Status. GPS Status showed 7 sattelites, but still couldn't lock. Very strange. I think GPS worked much better back in version 3.4 or 3.5, but maybe I'm just remembering wrong.

Anyway, if I have some time tomorrow, I might try another flash and see if I can't recreate the issues. I skimmed through aLogcat though and didn't see anything obvious going on. Go figure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
I did some issues gallery is missing from the 3.8 version and camera keeps on fc.

Might have to revert back to 3.7
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
no camera issues

For gallery read change log
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fr3dw4rd:
Great battery life, lmfao.

edit : and that's with full brightness on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:
You need to wipe before flashing 3.8. And do it proper, format /system /data /cache /boot.

I must say that 3.8 is best release of Slim yet. The new launcher is "Lightning" quick. Everything is stable. Even GPS is solid on my Crespo 4G, which earlier versions weren't. I've abandoned Google Maps and use Waze. I've abandoned Facebook and Twitter apps and just setup shortcuts to the websites from the launcher. I use Haxsync to sync FB contacts to the phone. It is just so super fast and I love the Zune theme on the Launcher. Haven't found anything that I don't like yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] alaj0909:
Agreed. 3.8 has been rock solid.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fr3dw4rd:
Their's another bug with dialer. It always goes into "Conference call" so whenever I go to answer a call it doesn't show up the caller ID, and whenever I do call someone it just says "In Call" And at the bottom it says "Merge calls".
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
I get this too other than that I have no problems whatsoever.

Edit: after reinstalling phone apk with update me app it was fixed :-)

Update: looks like it went back and no longer has the caller Id..any fix?

Update#2 : decided to wipe cache and dalvik and it fixed my caller id:-)

Sent from the other side of town.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tnoah12:
this rom is beautiful
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kjaved373:
Decided to try this rom and surprisingly it has a lot of features. Enjoying it so far!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Is your GPS success only with Waze? How about Google Maps?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] louderstill:
maps works
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
Yeah I noticied dialer issue also, when in a call phone status bar disappears and asks to merge calls.

I did do full wipe for 3.8 ..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
did you d/l phone.apk via update me after install
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] louderstill:
3.8 full wipe

crespo 4G

still not reconnecting to data after it looses connection sometimes

[weak signal at home]

cant recreate the problem consistently

shows 3g symbol but have no IP address

airplane mode doesnt fix it

reboot always does

i updated my profile this morning

and will see what i have in the morning...

thnx for the work on the ROM

and for the NS4G port!!!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
Just a question for 3.8 is it OK to restore apps from the backup of 3.7 .On 3.7 as of know .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdubs4200:
please tell me how i can remove the signal icon... so its just wifi and battery. my ns4g is now my mp3 player but i cant seem to get anyone to help me figure out how to remove it completly without a gap between bat and wifi... thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fr3dw4rd:
Also, when I'm in calls it seems to just cut out on voice. It's happened everytime I've made a call, so I don't think it's service.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
c'mon. Read change log, important note
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdubs4200:
Since your here boss, any chance you could help me remove the signal icons all together? No data no need for em ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
today i decided to load up my old stock rom nandroid and do a prl update as well as update the apps i keep in that backup. while on it, i thought to give gps a try since i've been having so many gps problems with slim lately.

opened up gps status and it refused to get a lock. under gps status settings, i went to manage state and reset it. downloaded a fresh file from the same menu and got a lock within 8 seconds. later in the day, i reloaded slim 3.7 (need to give 3.8 a shot again, but not yet ready to do so). opened up gps status and instead of several minutes to get a lock, it got one in about 5 seconds. turned on navigation and it stayed locked all the way home. this has NOT been the case for the last couple of slim releases.

moral of my rant... if you're still having problems with gps, try reverting to a stock install for a bit and resetting gps while you're there. might be the trick.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Reminds me of the windows mobile era.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
LOL. Yeah. I guess it kind of does. At least I didn't need to flash the RUU and reroot. Nandroid backup and restore is so much easier. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Did a fresh install for 3.8, running very smooth & no fc's . :D

Thanks guys & keep up the awesome work. :D

God Bless. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] infernosoft:
I apologize if this has been asked, but where can we download themes to work with the theme Chooser from?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vidaljs:
Airplane mode is easiest, but the other way to get ride of signal is turn the radio off in system settings... dialer code *#*#4736#*#* will get u too the proper settings to turn it off. But airplane mode gets rid of signal and signal icon, but unfortunately add the airplane icon

But it saves the battery a ton.

Good luck

Vs Nexus S 4G
