Hey guys,

I was updating voodoo to my phone from stock Eclair and I got stuck on VIBRANT logo page for over 2 hours.

So I figured mine's dead and upgraded to JK2.

Now everything works fine except I can't install any app from the market. It simply says I have not enough storage to install. And sure enough, in settings it says 0.00b under Application Storage while phone storage has 12gb left.

After JK2, I cleared cache and I think I did everything right.

Can you help?

Go into bootloader. Power off > Hold volume down + hold the power button till you see a white screen with skateboarding androids.

Check at the top to see if it says S-On or S-off.

If it says S-off you have to first get it to say S-On.

Reboot the phone. Enable USB Debugging. Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.

Download Unrevoked's S-on tool here and transfer it to your SD Card.

Go into your recovery and flash that. Reboot and then go back into bootloader to make sure you have S-on now.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
I hope more light is shed regarding the Nexus S story. Some things don't add up to me.

Google's Eric Schmidt said during the Summer that there would be no Nexus Two, saying that the Nexus One accomplished what they set out to do. Some have construed this to mean other things, and even Eric himself has said what he really meant was that he didn't want to use the name "Nexus 2" or something to that effect. Is this true? I'm not sure. Or did Google see the success of Samsung's Galaxy S line to all four major carriers (and others), which was something Google was hoping to accomplish with the Nexus One, and see the quality of Samsung's SAMOLED and felt it would optimize 2.3's darker color format well, and so decided to reach out to them to have them revise their Galaxy S line to a Nexus brand? Or did Google reach out to them before they released the Galaxy line to make the next Nexus, and if so, why would Eric make such comment implying there would be no future Nexus phones? It could, of course, be simple misdirection.

Considering the Nexus S is not being developed from the ground up, and is more or less based on the Galaxy S line, research, development, and manufacturing time could have been accomplished between the late Summer/early Fall release of Galaxy phones to now December, for the Nexus S launch. Considering Samsung doesn't seem to have any real history of "shortages," their manufacturing plants could be up for the challenge?

Then, you have the supposed "delay" of the Nexus S. It turns out the Best Buy leaked specs were real (the official specs is almost exactly what the BB specs said it would be - 1 GHz single core, no HSPA+ support...). So what was the delay? Well, just last week the FFC received radio changes to the i9020 model (aka the Nexus S number). Was that the slight hardward delay/tweak? And not what Androidandme thought was the scrapping of single-core to have dual-core? But they also said dual-core Nexus S prototypes were out in the wild in testing. Did the tests not go well with Gingerbread, which has been reported to not be optimized yet for dual-cores, and thus Google deciding to stick to the single-core for final production? Or were those supposedly dual-core Nexus S prototypes really prototypes of Samsung's i9200 phones, aka Galaxy S2?

I don't know. This is all speculation and musing. The Nexus S story doesn't add up. Given some baffling decisions regarding the official specs - namely lack of HSPA+ (or "4G") support - I suspect Google rushed this when they saw the success of Galaxy S and Samsung's SAMOLED technology, and tried, but couldn't get dual-cores to work properly and in time to meet their December release deadline (Gingerbread had to be released before Christmas).

Is a dual-core, HSPA+ capable Nexus S floating around out there in prototype/testing form to be released in 2011? Does the Nexus S story add up to you guys?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
We can only dream. I wish it was Orion. I wish it was HSPA+. But this is the real world :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
I think that Google just realized that they scrapped the Nexus One for the wrong reasons.

It didn't sell well, and the support was apparently a nightmare. But the product itself was (and still is) very good. So they're trying again, but this time they're leaving the logistics to the professionals. And it will be sold all over the world.

I think the Nexus S will be a huge hit, despite its many shortcomings. It doesn't come with a premium price and bragging rights, and it's not so big that you feel silly using it as a phone. It's not extreme in any way, it's just an affordable and capable phone.

And with no strings attached. No carrier lock-in, which is so strangely popular in the US. No pre-installed crapware to drive you crazy. OS updates directly from Google. Unlocked, which is almost unheard of in the US.

The Nexus S will probably also give the NFC technology critical mass. Which will not at all be popular with the credit card companies. Heh, it will be wildly unpopular with the US-based carriers anyway. Users will love the phone, big corporations will hate it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michel-slm:
I think it will be a hit as well -- the early negative response comes mainly from people already on Android devices that were expecting another quantum leap in hardware.

But the pricing is actually exactly identical to the Nexus One -- $529 unlocked, $199 with a two-year contract. That spells "premium" to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarzanman:
It is a tough sell for anyone who already has a premium Android device.

You are asking them to fork over $530 for a device which only does 2, maybe 3 things that their premium handset won't be capable of (when Gingerbread comes out for their device).

Nexus S looks like a solid phone. Honestly, the lack of a microSD card is the primary reason I won't purchase it Dec. 16.

I already have a Vibrant, so its a tough sell for what amounts to a small upgrade.

I thought that my next purchase would be a gingerbread device, but I might wait until Honeycomb.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
the Nexus One failed because of how google handeled it.

Also look at the setup google has done with the youtube page, twitter and even the main page, they all say NEXUS. The S is always seperated by a line, or not there.

Ontop of that you also see the new Pure Google branding on the videos.

This leads me to believe that google has revived the Nexus branding to be any pure google phone and the Nexus S is the first phone in this new branding, and there will be more to come.

Most likely the whole dual core story is legit but google couldn't finish it in time so they pushed it to honeycomb.

And i believe that maybe around late summer 2011 we'll see a new nexus, probably based on the nexus S or galaxy 2, with a dual core orion and honeycomb.

Or if were lucky, a tegra device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlp99:
Nexus one was NOT a failure for Google.

I don't think the Nexus One was a failure for Google.

Google's main goal with producing the Nexus One was to force manufacturers to manufacture better more powerful android handsets, without imposing Apple (or Microsoft with WP7) like restrictions on the hardware.

Look at what was available when the Nexus One was announced; with the exception of the original Droid, almost all of the handsets were running slow, outdated processors, and less than 512 MB of RAM. The hardware at the time was holding the Android OS back. Google wanted to show what was possible with the Android OS if the hardware was as capable as the software.

Look at the handsets available after the Nexus One, we have handsets available on every major carrier in the US with 1 Ghz processors and at least 512 MB of RAM.

Manufacturers and carriers responded to the Nexus One by producing better hardware. Google got exactly what it wanted, hardware that was capable of really supporting the full capabilities of the Android OS.

I think Google should; and will probably will, continue producing a Nexus branded handset periodically just to continue to show what is possible with top end hardware, and a pure Google Android OS.

Google's goal was never to mass produce the Nexus One and become a competitor to its handset manufacturer partners, but to show what the Android OS is capable of. The Nexus is a halo product for Android, never intended for mass market. If mass market was the goal more distribution channels would be open; even the Nexus S is not being sold in traditional carrier stores, only Best Buy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
I think the Nexus S is a mass market phone. It's coming to Norway (Spring 2011), and we don't have Best Buy.

Picking nits, the Nexus S isn't being sold anywhere right now, but Best Buy will be selling them shortly, and other chains and stores all over the world will follow in due course. They probably want to "test the waters" in a few select markets first, to decide how much they have to ramp up the production.

If the Nexus One had been more accessible, I would have bought one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
very true, i should of worded myself differently. you are correct in that the nexus one seceded there, i meant that the business model of trying to sell it the way they did failed. which as you pointed out they said was never the goal, but it would of been nice lol.

With that said, the new direction of the Nexus branding should really help, best buy will sure be advertising the phone like crazy and will hopefully boost people wanting more pure android devices.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlp99:
I'm sure that distribution will be different in other parts of the world (as it was for the Nexus One), but in the US the majority of customers get their handsets from carrier stores.

Google is skipping the carriers with the Nexus S the same way they did with the Nexus One. They are adding Best Buy as a distributor in the U.S. but still keeping away from the majority of the retailers.

Google is expanding on the online only distribution of the Nexus One, but not by much.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
you'd be surprised how many people go to best buy for their phone service. Best Buy's cell phone division has been growing at an insane rate and now they have Best Buy Mobile stores popping up in malls all around the country, and the ones i've seen are packed.

Combine that, with best buys massive advertising budget and the Nexus S will sell very well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlp99:
I think Best Buy will help the Nexus S sell and it will likely sell far better than the Nexus One because of this, but restricting distribution to one retailer (which is not available everywhere) is still going to limit total sales.

The point I have been trying to make is that Google's purpose behind the Nexus One and the Nexus S is not only to sell the handset, it is more about promoting Android as an OS. As long as Google sells enough Nexus handsets to not loose money they will be happy.

If Google's goal was to sell as many Nexus S handsets as possible they would want to get them into as many distribution channels as possible, including carrier stores.

Just like Chevy selling the Z06 corvette, it is a halo product that lets them show off what is possible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
it's true that best buy is not everywhere but you can buy it through bestbuy.com, even with a service plan and have it shipped anywhere in the 50 states, so theres that.

luckily i have 4 best buys near me and a best buy mobile so all i'm hoping is that one has a live display model for me to play with before i make a decision.

I feel lack of sd slot and multicore are show stoppers. At the same with samsung growing galaxy market share the device makes since.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1kki6:
I agree that something does not seem quite right about this release. Although for me the non-removable sd and and lack os hspa+ don't bother me, the chance that a dual core is a couple months aways would irritate me if I did buy this one. I know there is always something better coming out, but if its only a couple more months I am inclined to wait.

I guess for me the biggest question is if a dual core does come out will it also be available on t-mobile or will it be a verizon or att phone. If that was the case I would switch carriers. It happened with the lcd flash and the galaxy line, t-mobiles vibrant did not have flash but I believe the verizon version got flash. T-mobiles handsets never got updated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
honestly i don't think gingerbread has any dual core support. I think google moved that all onto honeycomb, so you wont see a single dual core phone released until honeycomb is out which probably won't be until summer for phones.
