[Nexus S General] VENNUMALLESHFAN:
My first droid phone and the one that got me hooked on Nexus/vanilla android. The dev community is great here and makes me a bit hesitant to switch to something not Nexus when I eventually will. The hardware is showing it's age, sad to say. Despite that, this is the best phone I've ever owned far and away.

Happy belated Nexus S.

I can't hold onto a phone that doesn't have the awesome voodoo headphone amp. So far, the only other phone on TMO that nearly fits the upgrade bill is the TMO Galaxy Note 2, but the screen is too damn big. I don't see phones going back to the 4-4.3' screen area so I imagine I'll be holding onto my Nexus S for the longest time until it poops out.

I've been using a gnex for the last month, but am switching back too the ns4g cause the ergonomics are just way better. gnex is only a bit faster, but not really that noticeable in day to day tasks. The larger size is really annoying though. Also, my Wimax coverage is great, way better than no lte..

[Nexus S General] Androyed:
I have been following Android since it was announced. Even before the G1 was released, I knew I wanted an Android smartphone. But I waited. I skipped the G1. Then, a year later, they announced the Nexus line. But I waited again. It just didn't feel right yet. And then, they announced the Nexus S. For the first time, Android felt mature. The Nexus S felt like something I could use for multiple years. Something that I wouldn't get tired of after a year. It took Google/Samsung multiple months to release it in the Netherlands, but finally, 2.5 years after the release of the G1, I had my first Android smartphone.

And I still have it today.

Up until recently, I have felt no need to upgrade my Nexus S. The Galaxy Nexus was okay, but it wasn't enough of an upgrade. And I couldn't even look at non-Nexus devices. I was happy with my Nexus S. I didn't really follow the development anymore. Two months ago I decided to see what Google was up to with Android/Nexus. And I saw the Nexus 4. The more I read about it, the more I wanted to have one. I said to myself: you waited two years, it's time for a new one. But then I thought, why? What's wrong with my Nexus S? Sure the Nexus 4 is smoother. It has a much nicer screen. Better battery life. It will have newer versions of Android. But do I really need a new phone for all that?

I need something new, something fresh. Not just an extra core or some extra pixels. Why not wait another year? And besides, LTE is being constructed in the Netherlands and at the end of 2013 most parts will have coverage. And the Nexus 4 isn't even released yet in the Netherlands. Heck, even in the countries where it is released, no one can get their hands on one. Every day I get closer to the next Nexus release, every day I get closer to LTE being available.

So I went back to the Nexus S forums on XDA. If I was going to use it for another year, I needed a smooth and stable ROM. For the first time in months, I've flashed something again, and boy does my Nexus S feel fast. Suddenly an upgrade doesn't seem needful anymore.

For anyone who is thinking about upgrading: ask yourself why. Just for the sake of having something new to play with? The Nexus 4 is cheap, and two years is a reasonable time to wait, so if you really want it, go ahead. But I warn you, the Nexus 4 won't feel that special anymore after a few weeks. It is faster, bigger, better, but that's it. It's like having 4 hours more battery life. Sure you will notice it, but after a few weeks even that won't seem enough, and you will want more again.
[Nexus S General] FirePoncho86:
Man, you really put a lot of thought into that. I think I agree with you on every single point you made, at first I wanted the N4, but I looked at my NS and said "What's wrong with this?" I will upgrade eventually, of course, but only when I need to, or development totally dies for the Nexus S. This is a solid phone, even know I'm admiring the curved screen!
[Nexus S General] jonezy8873:
Do you think Ubuntu phone is could go on nexus s ??????????
[Nexus S General] FirePoncho86:
If someone takes the time to port and optimize it. I doubt they'd have a release on the nexus s, but some one would probably port it
[Nexus S General] towelboy:
Happy birthday nexus! I got it pretty late.. Got mine back in June 2012 :p and if it weren't for this whole forum, its community and particularly @bedalus's amazing kernel I would not have kept this phone for this long (ex-iphone fan) #teamandroid
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
I would like to try some ROMs but my prolem is that if I dont like it I want to come back, BUT i don't want to create everything again with Link2SD.

So I can creat a nandroid backup -> instal new rom and IF I dont like it, -> restore nandroid backup or install previous rom and then do the nandoird restore?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchst2:
Link2sd restores work fine provided you remove 05mountsd script from init.d prior to backup. The script creates a conflict with Link2sd after restoring a nandroid for some reason. At least this is the case on CM7.

Sent from my GT-S5830
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Nandroid backups store all data and symlinks of link2sd.

If you restore a nandroid backup you'll have the rom as you left it, including all apps on the partition, their data and link2sd links, so no need to link everything again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
I'm on stocklitle 7.1 and i want to upgradeto 8, I can do:

Nandroid abckup with CWM -> Install new ROM -> Restore Nandroid backup and everyting will be the same but with updated ROM?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
No. Nandroid backups alao store system and kernel, you'd be back to stocklite 7.

You can try this:

-nandroid backup your stocklite 7

-wipes, flash stocklite 8

-if it didn't change drastically, you can restore only the data of your previous backup (advanced restore > restore data).

-if it gives you bootloops... bad luck, you'll have to use titanium backup and relink apps afterwards.

I have gotten this to work for lots of nightly upgrades of cm7 roms, and sometimes even when changing cm7 roms if they're not too different. Nothing lost by trying as long as you got your backup.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
They said the Korean one would, I don't think they said ours would. Sprint is probably slowing them down. Still got 14 days in December left!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Sprint doesn't slow down releases. I know this for a fact. Their testing process takes one week. If it passes they put it out within a week after the testing. So, if LG sends them an OTA we get it in two weeks.

The only thing better would be getting it sent straight from the manufacturer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bizzshow26:
Yeah sprint is a lot better than att and Verizon both of those companies are horrible when it comes to updates. I guess the big hold up is LG and getting a stable build out for these phones. I hope we can get it prior to the new year. But then again I would he happy to just have a stable of aosp build prior to The new year
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Between now and February.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] adampatricknc:
Korea is getting Jelly Bean this month.

US release is sometime in Q1 of 2013. So we're talking anywhere between January and March.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ckoadiyn:
yeah im expecting sometime after the first of the year hell my evo got JB before the one x did on att lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
So essentially, they slow it down by two weeks? o.O That's not too bad I guess.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] thistimearound:
If I understand correctly the biggest thing holding our phone back is the firmware version. It's possible we'll get that update with VZ9, which appears to be around the corner. Some of the devs have been working on a new kernel to bypass this firmware incompatibility.

So, while I don't know what I'm talking about, it seems logical that we could get a JB rom sooner than Sprint releases it. In short, Korean JB + new kernel + VZ9 = JB rom. Maybe?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rsjc741:
Geeze, I really dislike LG over this...

As a flagship phone, they went in with guns blazing, but failed on a critical point... Android 4.2.

Having to wait that long is ridiculous.

Mainly because I came from a straight AOSP Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.

This phone will be complete once I have my MIUI and flashy AOKP.

[Q] Stuck at HTC One screen after flat battery

Hey guys,

Today my phone went flat, so I put it on charge for a bit, now I can't get it past the htc one (o1/ne) screen.

I'm running the stock Jelly Bean rom, my Cid is HTC__044

I've unlocked bootloader and have the custom Clockwork mod recovery installed and the device is rooted.

I tried restoring from a backup, deleting cache, factory reset.

I think an appropriate RUU may help, but it's pretty much impossible to find one that is downloadable (the filefactory one wont let me due to too many downloads of that file, and one I found on a chinese forum (after signing up and having to reply to the thread) failed to download :/ )

when I run an old RUU it tells me that my version or whatever it is, is 3.14.707.24

I can get into recovery and fastboot easily.

Can someone please help?

I'm going on holiday on the 19th so I really hope I can fix this.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can restore the matching nandroid backup from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

You will have to do a full wipe ,but it will be working afterwards :cool:

Download the backup and put it in the clockworkmod folder of.the sdcard of the phone, copy the boot.img from the backup and flash it with fastboot commands, do a full wipe in recovery and restore the backup !

You can mount the sdcard in recovery as USB disk to copy the backup on to it !
[HTC One X] MrDreigon:
Thanks I adopted your methods and used it on my existing backup which finally got it to boot,

To recap:

flash boot.img from nandroid backup (fastboot)

restore backup from clockwork recovery

wipe data / factory reset

reboot.

Maybe Jelly Bean just isn't ready for my device? I'm a bit worried about it screwing up overseas, because I wont have a computer or much of an internet connection to solve the problem.

Thanks for your help!

No problem, good it's sorted !
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gilrad:
I'M thinking about getting a nexus 7. Question about it's USB OTG capability: Can it connect to multiple things at once through a USB host? I am thinking the ultimate portable workplace would be a portable keyboard, mouse, a microSD reader, and a charging cable all coming from a single host. Is Android at the point where this sort of thing is possible yet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jamesc760:
No, currently you can connect to 1 slave usb device, maybe 2 with the use of an Y splitter cable, if at that. Am not sure if it's a software or hardware limitation.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] unicat13:
With usb otg cable pluged in usb hub you can connect more devices.

You should know though that while using USB OTG (if i recall correctly) you are not able to charge the N7 at the same time. It is either one or the other.

While using OTG can charging if flash patched kernel.

I have a Verizon unlimited data plan and avg use is in the 10+GB area. I hit 89GB one time.

So yes I "need" it. I need to use one as a ISP soon. Due to the fact it's the only thing I will be able to use out in the sticks. LOL

Thanks

Update: tried it for a day, not bad for unlimited data. But the cost was too high for me and the 4G did not make it to my home. So it went back

I ran a lot of speed test. It maxed out at 21mbs down and 10mbs up. It avg at 5-9mbs down and 2-4mbs up.

Not bad for unlimited data if you live or will live in one of there 4G area's.
