[Nexus S General] kolyan:
What ????? wtf

There is no one to blame. Google wanted Nexus 2, Samsung already had pretty good candidate, the Galaxy S......almost ZERO dollars spent on new hardware here comes Nexus S and people will be paying for old hardware like its new......

I wouldnt be surprised if Nexus S was made of left over hardware from Galaxy line.....rumors are Galaxy S2 is coming in 1st quarter of 2011
[Nexus S General] bbm21:
your right but in the end we did get a port so we might not get it before say the i9000 or the captivate but by our track record we will get it
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
not 100% correct. the port we got was not 100% working. only after leak that port got fixes. and now most 2.2 roms are based on leaked vibrant froyo, not ports. so yes, making a working port from nexus s will not be easy or even doable <<< this is based on the same as above
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
It has Super AMOLED
[Nexus S General] ~~Tito~~:
This phone is not so great, it is a vibrant with out a Micro SD slot. They didn't even add HSDPA+! :rolleyes:

SAMOLED =S[uper]AMOLED
[Nexus S General] t1n0m3n:
The vibrant has 384 Mb of ram btw.

[Nexus S General] HTCinToronto:
It's a fail as the following year model to my N1. Comparing the two, the offer to me is 0.3 in added display, a front cam and a smidge more GPU. Losses on radio bands, FM, uSD and cash. That's crap.

Out of the gate the Desire HD has it beat. Here's hoping the true reason it's called the NS is that it's Sammy's match to the N1 and that the new year sees HTC releasing the true N2; dual core, 4.3, 1GB RAM, 8MB cam, SLCD, uSD, FM, GSM - monster that we've been waiting on.
[Nexus S General] androidlicious:
I personally feel like the Nexus S is a little underwhelming. I honestly thought that I would be blown away with new technology or design (better camera or thinner profile) given the competition out there, but the only thing that I find worth a switch is the NFC and the ability to pay for things using your phone in the future.

Other than that, there isn't anything else that my current phone can't do or lacks.
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
This guy knows his stuff. The Vibrant itself blazes past the Nexus one.
[Nexus S General] integra891:
Does anyone know if it has an LED indicator Light?

Does anyone know if it has an LED indicator light?
[Nexus S General] androidlicious:
I undoubtedly think it would have one. Otherwise, not having any kind of notification light would make this phone a major turn-off for me.
[Nexus S General] androidlicious:
They might've gotten rid of those things but they added something very special. The contour display is really what matters most because nothing beats a curved display to better fit the contours of your face. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
No LED notifications. You'll have to use the app NoLed, which is a decent substitute.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2.
[Nexus S General] 651stp:
no HSPA++?? r u serious. 16gb internal only. damn sorta a deal breaker to spend another 200 on the phone. who knows. we'll see.
[Nexus S General] lawalty:
I don't understand why everyone thinks it has no HSPA, I've read it somewhere that it does. The only thing I don't know about it the sd-card slot (you might have to remove the back cover). I'm sure it has one, since every Galaxy S phone out there has one. I suppose we'll have to wait until its released before we get the right specs. It seems I'm reading differences on which website I go to.
[Nexus S General] Smasherz:
Had the MyTouch 3G, then switched to Nexus One, then switched to Vibrant, and now switched to MyTouch 4g... Nexus was good for not having any crapware and having a clean Android on it, and getting all the updates first... Vibrant is light weighted and the screen is the best I ever seen on mobile device... but still had some issues... for now I'll stick with the mytouch 4g until devs get to work on NS... and as soon as it will make any sense for me to switch from MT4G to NS, i'll do it...
[Nexus S General] Dougefresh91:
Any word on whether or not they're using the RFS file system on this phone?

I was also under the impression that there's no HSPA+ on this phone, but I'm not sure where I saw that.
[Nexus S General] tibere86:
I did not see any secondary microphone holes in the product pictures for noise cancellation mic but specs claim it has "software noise cancellation". Software based?
[Nexus S General] Telanis:
Yep, it's just a Fascinate crossed with a Nexus. Nothing big is new, NFC is just QR Codes for people to lazy to click open the barcode app :P not worth the money at all, but hopefully Gingerbread can be quickly ported from it to the Galaxy S devices!
[Nexus S General] PolishDude:
i highly doubt it has one
[Nexus S General] androidlicious:
I am very curious as to how the Nexus S is with battery life. I bought a new Nexus One but stopped using it after only a few days in favor of the iPhone 4 because of dismal battery life.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Nexus S Headed to Verizon with 4G? Rumors begin to swirl
[Nexus S General] neok44:
reports from the few people who have used it have said the battery life is the best they've seen. probably partially due to gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
What's strange though, is that on the comparison site between Nexus One and Nexus S, the battery life shows significantly less talk time hours for the Ns, despite having a larger battery and despite running 2.3 which is supposedly more optimized for energy consumption.

Can anyone explain?
[Nexus S General] neok44:
they kinda screwed up the comparison site.

The nexus one gets 7 Hours talk time 3g, 10 hours talk time 2g. both of which are BS in my opinion since i've done 1-2 hour long calls on 2g that grab 25-40% of my battery.

The Nexus S gets 6.7 hours talk time on 3g and up to 14 hours talk time on 2g. with the larger battery and gingerbread, this might actually be legit. probably figure 6/12 for the legit times.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Ruki_Uki:
Is tere any kind keyboard attachment for the EVO, like if its in landscape?? I've seen some BT ones but not sure if they would work for the EVO because there's nothing that says it does. Just thought it would be cool to have.

Sent from my EVO's 4G :) You?........I thought so
[EVO 4G Accessories] wingzfan:
Not trying to be a **** but wouldnt you buy an epic if you wanted a keyboard? Yes the build quality isnt there but I wouldnt think it would make much sense to carry a keyboard around.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Ruki_Uki:
Your completely right. It would make since, and the Epic, I think, had the best keyboard I've seen on a phone. But my buddy has this attachment on his LG dare and it gives him a full keyboard and I just thought it was cool. It would make typing out long text easier and faster. But I agree there really is no need for one, it was just something that crossed my mind and that it would be kinda cool ;)

Sent from my EVO's 4G :) You?........I thought so
[EVO 4G Accessories] ateld:
I'm definitely interested in one of these if anyone knows of one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] live2ride96:
Why wouldn't just get an Epic if you want a keyboard? How about for the same reason I just traded my Epic for an Evo - the Epic, while it has a nice keyboard and a gorgeous SAMOLED display, is a buggy POS with non-working GPS, amongst a whole host of other problems. And my second Epic was better than my original. Glad to be a newly converted Evo owner.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Noxious Ninja:
HTC's custom Bluetooth drivers don't support HID devices like keyboards properly, and I really doubt anybody's manufactured an Evo keyboard attachment just for CM6 users.
[EVO 4G Accessories] eluno:
yes the epic does have its woes like gps. but buggy it is not. you must have gotten a bad one. cause all the epics that i have played with were much more faster than my evo. the epic's i have played with were as smooth as butter.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
How is problems with GPS not a "bug"? I mean, GPS is one of the most important thing a smart phone does.

"Except for not doing the most important thing it should be able to do, the phone is perfect!..."

That's like saying, "Except for the wind part, tornadoes aren't so bad..."
[EVO 4G Accessories] eluno:
i agree the gps does suck on the epic. but i was really try to get the point across that buggy is one thing the epic is not. as far as the 1 thing a cell phone should do. to me that one thing is take and place calls. and i do believe the epic is a great phone at doing just that. the epic has a great speaker and mic. acutaully i think the epic speaker is just a tad bit louder and clearer than the evo. but not by much.
[EVO 4G Accessories] live2ride96:
Apparently I got 2 buggy Epics then.

I have 2 AP's in my house (one upstairs, one down), and it refuse to pass between the two, whereas all Evos in the house do it just fine. Bluetooth connectivity was random. Sometimes, it would connect, sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it would connect, but audio wouldn't go through. When charging, it would reach 100% and then drop to about 95 and then back and forth, and back and forth. Non-existent GPS. Evo will lock 6-8 birds IN THE BASEMENT. Epic wouldn't lock any, even outside.

I think I'll end there, as I could go on for multiple paragraphs with the bugs. And EVERY single one was existent on both phones. I got a replacement, because the one I bought on launch day was just chewing through battery. So at least I know that was a hardware problem and not necessarily consistent amongst all Epics. The phone has a ton of potential, but they really need to fix the software. TONS of little bugs keep it from being a super-phone. SAMOLED is drop dead gorgeous, but everything about the phone feels cheap.

The frustrating part is I could've been off AT&T months earlier if I'd just bought an Evo from the start rather than waiting for the POS Epic. I'm glad that some people are loving their Epics, but I just couldn't in its current form. I gave up, and couldn't be happier with my current Evo (except maybe the crappy screen).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaemonAshra:
I dont know why it is with these newer model phones, but just from the suggestion posts that came up when i entered the title of this thread, but My LGOT and i guess even the G2 have an issue where dusts starts to build up under the sceen....

Ive only had my phone for a little over 2 weeks, but even after the first couple days, i noticed that there were already a few trickles of dirt right around the middle of my screen.

I guess my main question is, is there anything i can do about this, has anyone had the same troubles, and what can we do to prevent this from happening?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SovietComrade:
In Thailand this is general problem of LG Optimus One

you should contact LG Customer support

they'll open your phone and blow dust out

if dust cause touchscreen malfunction they'll change new one for you

some people guess that dust already in the phone due to assembly process from factory

some guess maybe dust go through usb port
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ooyyeh:
I have my phone since 2 days and i already have a dust spot in the lower right corner. This is annoying! If this spot is growing i will contact the costumer support.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gemarc:
I am working on dusty area, but no dust under screen. Phone is 1 month old.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] killdashnine:
Me I have not this problem, but remains me the same issue with the iPhone 2/3 (google iphone dust screen).

I think it's a common problem with capacitive screen, but no "easy" solutions to fix it... :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chtamina:
poor construction quality, imho.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaemonAshra:
this is one of those instances where a really cheap phone shows its faults. the phone is free on contract and little of $200 without. with it being so incredibly cheap, there is going to be something wrong that causes concern.

Im okay with it happening as long as it gets fixed and the problem is acknowledged by both LG and the phone carriers. it seems like many people are having this problem at the moment and T-Mobile is willing to exchange it in store, so good on them for being considerate.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sovikhaque:
i have the same issue. Don't know how to prevent that
[Optimus One, P500, V General] stelinx:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
No dust here either. I have a silicon case, I don't think it helps very much.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] stefanblag:
just disassemble it. There is no warranty seal. You'll find the dust inbetween the lcd screen and the capacitive overlay.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RevengeFNF:
Can you show us a Video on how to do that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sovikhaque:
I had problem with my device, called my operator and they exchanged my phone. New phone seems alright
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:

Hi! please tell us how to do it!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harrygrifyndor:
I too have this problem :( Can any one please let us know how to get rid of it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] S3nd41:
I have the same problem with my Optimus One, dust is starting to gather on the right bottom corner and it seems to have increased since the first time I saw it. I've thought about buying a can of compressed air and trying to blow it near the edge of the screen but maybe that will just make it spread even further.

I've also thought about unscrewing the screws on the back panel of the phone and clean it but I'm afraid that it will affect the capacitive screen in some way making it less responsive and that after I assemble it back together it'll become even less air tight and thus accumulate even more dust.

Maybe I'll reclaim my warranty but I'll have to un-root my phone and wipe it clean before leaving it at the store and it's going to be a pain in the ass to reinstall everything when it returns.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harrygrifyndor:
Will they replace the mobile for this problem?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
You can back up everything by titanium backup and copy the titanium backup folder from sd to your pc or pen drive. In your newly replaced phone you can copy back this folder to sd card and after installing titanium backup application you can restore everything.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] koblags:
Wow, DUST really get into the phone and I thought I was the only person experiencing this... actually it's on the "RIGHT BOTTOM PART" as posted S3nd41 and probably half of the users here has this problem....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cupliz:
But i think dust will always apear if u often put your p500 on your pocket... so its just my opinion to...

X2...Not a big deal, but got some dust grains in the lower right corner. No need to activate warranty if we can do the job @home :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
This is actually a design flaw of LG :(

even the guys who made it are like

"sorry for the screw up.. we can open phones and blow out dust for free"

so, go get ur phones opened up and blow out dust for free.

P.S. Make sure u get un-rooted with the stock rom!!! DOUBLE CHECK!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
i have the same problem too! its so annoying! im rooted! so its pain in the ass to get back to original setting! eg. lg rom, etc. etc.! so if anybody here try to open it! please do post it! i search google on tearing it down, disasembling of optimus one but i fail to find one!

For disassembling take a look on service manual ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ferossan:
Great!

I will open it to see if is possible to "seal it" in some way, avoiding a future problem.

Not having the problem myself, ¿it is possible to say that the dust is appearing -mostly- in the bottom corners?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xoshee:
i thought my p500 was free of the dust problem, but yesterday under sunlight i noticed some reflexions coming from particles in the bottom of the screen.

i was scare because i bricked my phone and couldnt find the original fw (now i have it), but is only noticeable under that conditions.

I dont want to replace it, maybe i get a worst one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ferossan:
What is the relation between having briked (and recovery) the phone and the dust?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marko727:
I guess this is a common problem then. I've noticed some dust under my screen as well. Unfortunately. :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ferossan:
Bottom part of it?

I have the same problem (see the attached image). The dust started appearing after a few days of using the phone, it gets slowly worse and worse. I am going to send it back to have it cleaned or replaced.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
When you send it back I think it is not covered by warranty. Because in the first place the dust is not there when you buy it, I was been told that it is not covered by warranty.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] krige:
If that will be the case for me too, I will be very disappointed by LG.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Heist884:
I can tell for sure that here in Italy this problem is covered by warranty.

I was following an italian forum and a lot of people sent the phone to service centers to have them cleaned.

On the same forum, there is an official LG customer care person. He stated that the problem is known to be present on a small batch of phones, though is now solved. At first they cleaned the phones and sent them back, but dust kept going under the screen. Now they have found a solution so they can clean the phones and "patch" them.

These are just THEIR (from LG) words, I can't tell if actually it was a SMALL batch nor if they definitively solved the problem. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harrygrifyndor:
Hey looks like you are from India, Did they clean your phone for free and fixed the problem so that dust wont enter again? Please let me know... I guess I should also visit the service center for this problem... its really annoying :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
I just went to lg service center here in philippines, and they just said that it is not covered with warranty! and i told them that i am willing to pay just for cleaning the dust, and they refuse because if they opened it, it will void the warranty! wtf!

I took mine to a sprint store. I told them that I had insurance on it. They told me that their policy is always to replace the phone with a new one...no matter if I dropped it, ran over it, whatever. Cool. So after 45 minutes I'm told that because the dust does not impede the operation of the phone that there is nothing they could do. So I told them give me the phone and I'll put it under my car and back over it. They went back to the service areas and came out 10 minutes later with a clean phone......I guess they figured out how to clean it. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
To all optimus one users , avoid using a pouch or leather case that let you insert your device bottom first! This is the culprit why our lovely device has dust especially on the lower part, why ? Because everytime we insert our device on a pouch, air is compressed and goes on the usb port with the dust and eventually our lcd screen! This was tested! Thanks!
