albundy2010: Can you please explain how to use fastboot? I have tried connecting my phone to Odin but it doesn't work because like BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz says, as soon as I put my battery in the phone turns on.. so I can't get into download mode even if I am pressing the two volume buttons.. And then when my phone turns on it just sticks on the Cyanogenmod 9 startup screen.

shadowx360: This looks great, but will it definintely fix the issue? I was told that I need a new 'ribbon' for the power button.. it's not the actual outer casing button itself that doesnt work.. it's the internal button that I think is connected to the motherboard..... so I'm guessing that just buying outer casing won't work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Start the phone into the bootloader as you described in your original post. That is fastboot .

If you don't know how to issue the commands on the computer and set it up read a guide.

In a perfect world everyone with a unlocked nexus should know how to do it. But morons ( sorry its true, well not really sorry ) use one click , scripts etc.

Even of you used one of those open a command prompt in the folder ( directory) of the tool that has fastboot.exe in it and put the recovery. img ( should already be one in there) in there and issue the command.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
With mine I believe it's beyond the power button. I believe it's Not able to get into download mode at all. I have used commands and it just reboots.

Doesn't necessarily mean we're idiots.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janto85:
I have downloaded fastboot.exe and have connected my phone to the usb and have it in bootloader... how can I then use the PC to install another version of cyanogenmod so I can at least start up my phone?

FYI when i type 'fastboot devices', nothing comes up... and if, for example, i typoe 'fastboot reboot', it sais <waiting for device>, but no action or prompt appears on my phone.. it just stays in bootloader..

PS I have installed the drivers, as far as I can see. I have "Android Composite ADB Interface" in device manager, BUT it only shows up when I start my phone and connect, NOT when I start in fastboot mode. Anyone know a way around this.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
you should be able to manually boot into recovery, bootloader and download modes. If your phone is powering on when the battery is inserted, it means there is a positive signal going through the power button to complete the circuit, in some way. With that said, let's assume you inserting the battery is the moment you would hypothetically be pressing the button if it worked. So in this individual case of the battery insertion acting as a power button depressing, it should be possible to get into any one of the modes desired by keeping any additional buttons depressed while inserting the battery.

In other words, to get into download mode press the vol up+down buttons at the exact same time the battery is inserted. it should work. My sister's evo4g had the exact same symptoms your phone does, and it worked for hers. I was easily able to boot into the bootloader, as well as recovery by following the steps I mentioned, and since it was a touch-based recovery, I was still able to flash/backup/restore, etc...I had full control over recovery, and everything worked just fine.

on second thought, download mode probably won't work with our device since you have to release the power button or it will fully boot....but fastboot and recovery should definitely work!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janto85:
thanks for your reply! I cannot boot into download mood as you say, due to not being able to release the power button. however I can get into fastboot mode (holding volume up), but cannot navigate through the options once in fastboot mode i.e. the volume up and down buttons don't do anything (i think because the power button is still effectively engaged).. so that's why I'm trying to see if I can somehow use my laptop to install a different version of cyanogenmod without needing to do anything on my phone.. that way I will be able to start the phone and at least download the app that lets me switch the volume buttons for power button!!

I have downloaded fastboot.exe but it doesn't seem to recognise my device in bootloader mode, so I'm stumped!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamrouse:
i have the same problem, been tweakin on it for weeks with no resolve my conclusion is the phone is screwed.....i have done every trick in the book beyond actualy replacing the power button or removing it myself and ghetto rigging it( the power button is built into the mobo) sorry about the rude and smart ass comments made by fellow members as they assume they know it all yet do not have the correct answer you seek. i have bought a new mobo on ebay and waiting for the auction to end a new mobo will indeed fix the problem yet all flashing and unlocking will be back to default(just a guess) but you could also try placing the memory module on the new mobo and see if that still has all the settings(thats what i wil be trying) nif you want send me a message and maybe with putting two heads together maybe we can fix this problem and have a solution for all other members in need(with out the need for ass hole remarks to the people who are in need) LETS DO THIS!

we all started out as noobs and in alot of aspects we still are all noobs knowledge is to be shared not held above another head and made to make others feel inferior

Janto85 i just got it to work (maybe for you aswell) what i did was put in the usb (phone auto booted towards the google screen with the unlock flashed once all leds on phone lit up then frozen) opened my command window put in command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(have it if you need it) said waiting for device on the phone i pulled batt. then booted to boot loader(stuck with no navigation) kept taping power with vol dow...after about 10-15 clicks of power it said usb init...my command window flashed the recovery) phone rebooted back to fastboot once again kept tapping vol down and power worked after 7 clicks said usb int then rebooted back to fast boot pressed vol down worked right off the batt clicked recovery booted to recovery then recovered from my last backup worked like a charm now i have my phone bnack and working( still waiting on my mobo so i dont have this issue again) hope this helps man...still if in need send a message

Oh we ( the smart asses) have the answer. He was told what to do.

Like I said prior. There is a reason people did not help him after he quoted polobuny. When you don't listen, don't read, be a

smartass, ain't nobody going to help you.

After all I told him to do.... " I downloaded fastboot.exe and it doesn't to recognize......." smh.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamrouse:
Well should you the smart asses have the answer it was incorrect...you totally missed the part where he said his power button doesn't work(read on the power button issue with the nexus and galaxy it acts like its pressed in) fast boot.Odin.adb all three will not recognize during the boot you can type all the commands you want but if the computer is not reading the phone(and not due to drivers but due to hardware) your gonna get denied every time. So your solution is irrelevant unless you get the power button to register and release its "locked on" state so fast boot can initialize to fast boot USB ....now sir I'm not trying to be rude but reread the original post. I understood his first post completey as have been probably reading the same posts he has...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Yeah your right. My bad

Try and boot the phone up normally. To the point where it stalls on the cm intro. You said you see adb in device manager so issue adb devices. If that works, adb reboot recovery at that point.

Can't recall if cm comes with it turned on by default though. And not sure if your phone is making it far enough in the boot up for it to work. Worth a shot

If it does. Full wipe the Ro
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandwiched:
Sooo... did anyone manage to resolve this? I have the exact same issue as the OP... power button stopped working under CM9, tried updating to CM10, didn't fix it, reverted to CM9, and now stuck at the loading animation. I can get into the Fastboot Mode screen by holding vol up when I insert the battery and have the USB plugged in, but the HW buttons don't work there, and the computer isn't recognizing the device via fastboot (I manually rooted a month ago so I do have all the req'd drivers AFAIK).

Any ideas?

Do your research.

Radio can be upgraded if you're s-off. Search how.

Radio version to be used should ne determined by the rom you use.

I also suggest you read around the subject so that you COMPLETELY understand what you're doing before you start

See links in my signature, including INDEX

Although suspect that as you're on 6.98 (revolutionary) you may have to go to engineered 7.00 rather than 2.00, but not 100% sure

[HTC One S] vanbroekjames:
Interesting little story about how I received my One S:

For the past year or so, I was using the T-Mobile LG G2x. Good at first, then I started to really dislike the phone for a variety of reasons. I ended up dropping my phone about a month after receiving it, cracking the top of the screen. The phone was still fully functional.

So last month I'm like, you know what, I'm tired of looking at the crack, let me use my insurance/deductable to get a new one. I file my claim online (130$) and they send me a refurbished G2x with a Samsung battery....

So I call them up; they apologize profusely and I request to just have them send me the new battery. They said they couldn't because "the whole package has to be together." They said they looked in their inventory and they are out of stock on the G2x (presumably since they no longer produce them). They said they would be able to offer me another device, a brand new HTC One S, to try for a week; if I like it I can keep it, if not I can return it and we can discuss other devices.

Safe to say, I love the HTC One S. It is the best phone I have ever used and I plan on using it for a long time.

Funny how things work out eh?

It can be done with root access with a single command.

Where x is the number of background processes you want.

If the API changes in the future, it's easy to look it up again.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
I recently moved to HellyBean. It has behaved fabulously on my Captivate. But I'm not sure I want to stay here because of one issue - without killing it (by hand or automatically), the media scanner runs continuously now (continuous 100% cpu usage). This takes the battery down really, really fast. When I have the process killed, battery life is extraordinary!

But I'd like to solve this if possible. Is there a chance it isn't HellyBean or JellyBean related (the way the multiple copies of music was an ICS issue)? The fact that no one else reports anything similar would make me think it's possible. If so, can anyone suggest what might be the issue.

Or what might be the other problems I might anticipate with the media scanner off. It sees my music, and seems to play everything. Camera works fine.

I did a scandisk of my removable SD, and it found no errors, and still gives the same issue on scanning - never stops.
