Ive been calling the Best Buy "Nexus S support/call center" since 10AM pst trying to get information. Each time they have been giving me different information like" if they dont sell Tmobile they will NOT be carrying them in either form"

but now every person is telling me the same info. 157 Best Buy mobile stores will be getting them.

so believe it or not thats just the information they have and was given to me.

edit: i was also told that they will be getting EXACT information the 14th and stores will be getting information on Sunday.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Nice find! :eek:

Thanks for letting us know brotha' :)

I'll def have to call on the 16th to see if the one by me is one of the lucky 157 ;)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
if this helps, the person I talked to whos name was Vinnie, Dinnie or Denny was real cool he'll give you all the information you need/want

He told me to keep calling cuz they are getting new info soon, and he said on the 14th they will know what stores have it and what stores wont
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
Hopefully the BB stores in Cleveland have the phones! Will be disappointed if I can't pick them up on the 17th or 18th, I fly out on the 19th..

Bestbuy mobile is not bestbuy retail. Those are those stores in mall. This phone is not high in demand and will be regularly available at bestbuy
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Here in CA there there are Best Buy Mobile inside Best Buy Retail stores

for example my local Best Buy:

http://stores.bestbuy.com/847/
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Bestbuy reps are bunch of tards

Honestly wouldn't worry about it
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Not that i am disagreeing with you but why do you say that?

I have been on phone with best buy reps all day and i have come across every tard they have
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
I take back tard comment..little harsh but I don't think these reps know for sure. But Yea pretty sure every bestbuy has a mobile section but there are also stand alone bestbuy mobile stores so by saying 157 bestbuy mobile will have it imo is a little vague.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Ive her soo many contradicting statements today that I dont know who to believe I also heard them say that "all stores will be receiving it" but at this point i dont know who to believe.

all i know is that I have 3 Best Buy stores with Best buy mobile in them and i will be hitting them at 8AM in order.

If not ill just order online and be without a phone for 3-5 days

- Engadget review http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/

Not happy about having a screen which isn't 99% flawless tbh, my contract is ending in a week and I may just end up buying a sim only contract for now and see whats coming up 2011. Never ever had an Iphone, so may try an iphone 5.
[Nexus S General] fosdos4790:
Considering the place where im from didn't get 3g until about a year and a half ago im not worried about having 4g in my area until I get a new phone 2 years from now. Its between this and the g2 for me.
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
Looks like no one looked at my shots of the difference between SLCD and SAMOLED! lol.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
I hear yea I've had 3G but not very good avr 1000kbps this past couple weeks they had to been doing the upgrades in my area because i jumped to Avr 5000kbps and still not maxed I'm so happy its plenty fast for browsing downloading and streaming HQ flash content.
[Nexus S General] J-manX:
That review made me want it even more
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
What i dont understand is why the phone doesnt have HD video yet the NS site says HD video...oh well no big loss to me just curious
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
I think I already stated that I'm most likely gonna buy it, but damn. All these complaints are in almost every single topic which is annoying. Sure, I can skip it, but how many do I have to skip in order to read a relevant vote? Ugh.
[Nexus S General] godsfilth:
im most likely getting it but i need to see if my best buy will have it and sell it off contract (i asked the other night and was told they wouldnt sell a phone off contract) or ill have to pay sales tax and buy online (live on the border of NH, no sales tax)

i weighed out all the stuff that bugged me and the stuff i liked about the NS and the buy it column wins just barely though.

no hspa+ - since my area got 3g a year ago and where i work got it 3 months ago not an issue

plastic - may still be an issue wont know till i hold it but they got the weight almost the same so that may help it not feel cheap

no microSD - iv been using an 8gig since i got my N1 in january i dont think 14gb for storage will be an issue for me

single core - meh android isnt set-up for multi core cpu's yet and the battery drain would be atrocious anyway

no 720p will be fixed by team douche/samsung hackers (not an issue for me rarely take video and D1 is fine by me when i do)

1gb app partion will most likly be fixed by ROM devs and is twice as much as my N1 anyway

over 50% increase in GPU performance with neocore compared to my N1 (ns is about 53fps according to endgadget N1 with cm 6.1 is 30fps according to my phone)

i've wanted a 4inch screen since i saw the vibrant its the perfect size for me since i tend to watch videos on my phone at work but dont have huge hands

front facing camera looks nice looks like it could be used interestingly for apps but id have no one to talk to on it

up side - im tired of the axis swapping on my N1 which would be fixed by the NS

down side - paying $529 for a similarly speced phone yeah that hurts a lot (though i sold my ipad for half the cost and budget my holiday pay for new toys anyway)

down side - i just convinced my gf 2 months ago to upgrade to a N1 and now ill be upgrading before her again not a problem but having to keep up with development of the N1 to keep her CM install up to date and hopefully cm on my NS

im learning programing already made so stuff with google wysiwyg thing and im lorking on actually building stuff from the ground up and having the latest Dev phone plus all the older ones (have a G1 or 2 lying around) would be helpful

sorry for the long winded post but like to layout my thought process when answering these kind of questions
[Nexus S General] zaures:
Honestly this phone seems like a excuse for Samsung to abandon their galaxy s phones. For every upside to this phone there is at least one downside. Seriously, no external sd slot, no hd video, and who really gives a **** about NFC. The fact that it has NFC capabilities is a a joke when they choose to leave other features that every other galaxy line phone has standard. Its pretty but I find that really the only reason i want this is just the fact that i want a new toy. Kinda disappointed that Google and Samsung couldn't even make something better than whats on the market. The only saving grace with this phone for me would be if the GPS actually works.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
This phone is weird, at first I didn't like it but whenever I watch or read a review I like it more...
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
I can make this really easy for everyone to understand why people like it.

Which Android phone would you rather have instead? One of the Galaxy S devices? The Nexus One?

If all three were offered to you, which one would you take?

It doesn't have everything that other phones do, but it still very unique in its offerings above anything else, nonetheless!
[Nexus S General] STi489:
Hit or miss on the blue tint....I have 2 Vibrants and one has the bluish tint but the other has a warm neutral color..The one with bluish tint appears less bright as well....I assume the Nexus S will be like this unless Sammy figured it out by now....There is a blue tint thread here in the Vibrant section.
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
Oh ok! Didn't know it was a hit or miss thing. I sure hope the Nexus S has warmer whites. I don't think it'll have sharper text, but that's tolerable.
[Nexus S General] DJTaurus:
Did you hear the engadget podcast?.....i dont know them for years i only read and hear them about a year and Josh put a lot of unfair critism in Nexus One....all the podcast was a google hate cause they also spoke about chrome os.....are they f.... apple funboys? :mad:
[Nexus S General] Capt-CDD:
I have 16g full at this time 32g on order. I use bluetooth music in all my vehicles and at home. I like and use the music feature as well as any on these phones. (and before someone says it yes I have ipods but they are not nearly as seemless to use as the phone is.) Which is another big staying point with me and the Nexus 1. Nexus docking stations are great for the N1. I like the ability to store large quantities of media on my phone and also to be able to switch phones and media at any time.

Not sure what safety issues you are referring to. Seems to me they could have had both internal and external storage like they have always had.
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
I am on the fence trying to decide whether or not to get the Nexus S. I have a Vibrant and a Nexus One and a MT4g. In the process of selling the Nexus One. I am most familiar with the Vibrant( I have flashed numerous roms etc.) The MT4G is a very fine phone but due to protections(either intentional or bug depending on who you ask.)I am reluctant to mess with it much (also have never used ADB). The Nexus One is great but I feel the need for a change. I have really enjoyed playing with the Vibrant and have become familiar with Odin etc. I also wish that the new Nexus S had an external SD and other items that a lot of phones have now, but overall after evaluating my Vibrant and how it seems to be a lot easier to mess with than any of the other phones( at least for a person who presently has limited knowledge and experience) I will be purchasing one on the 16th. I am just hoping that like the NeXus one there are goodies internally that can be activated at a later date.
[Nexus S General] zack_sparrow:
I am agree. I an gonna buy it to intead my n1
[Nexus S General] pakman482:
all I ask for is ATT 3g and I'm on board! Hopefully they make an ATT capable version real soon.
[Nexus S General] Cheeze[iT]:
No SD card - Ok, I'll live with it, like I did with the iPhone

No HSPDA+ - Ok, I'll live with it I guess, 7.2 is plenty

No HD recording? - This really bugs me... it seems every phone has the capability now and to not have it is a real bummer. I hope its a typo or can be enabled. I occasionally shoot video and it'd be nice to do so without carrying another device. unless the video in NON hd is really nice..
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
The reason I can get away with the lack of HD recording is that I'd really only use it to record.... My phone. So I'd end up using something else anyways. I don't really have a need for video recording other than that but you do have a point that 720p video recording has become a standard and Google's new phone should meet that standard.

I think 1080p however is just unnecessary.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
I will be getting this phone for sure!

... but off of craigslist in a couple of months ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] irpwnz:
Can someone cook a custom ROM for this phone?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IcedCube:
Just thought of something.

Since we have all the working 2.2 builds that use the right drivers, I'm pretty sure the Android 2.3 gingerbread "lag" is not the SDK build itself - I think it's the OpenGL files (that run SurfaceFlinger/UI?) that are set in "framebuffer" emulation mode (due to the ROM being intended for use in the SDK Emulator), which is using the GUI to render all the elements, not the GPU Hardware. In theory, if we used the 2.2 OpenGL Libraries, we should have better performance as they'd be using the GPU hardware.

Sidenote: the HD2 actually has a AMD/ATI chip in it, consider it as a Pocket Radeon Graphics Chip if you like (when the graphics hardware is initialzing, you'll see an reference to AMD OpenGL).

Don't take me word for word on that, but the idea I got is someone (maybe m-deejay or whoever) should try to take the OpenGL libraries from a working Android 2.2 ROM, and paste them into an Android 2.3 ROM (either mine or m-deejays, you decide). Of course, make a backup before hand, so if Android doesn't work after that, we can rollback to the 2.3 drivers. They should be libopengl or libegl or something else, I can't remember 100%.

Happy hacking peeps! Let's get Android 2.3 running butter-smooth on our HD2! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spbeeking:
Im gonna take a look at it after I get back home from the hospital.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BlackPit666:
:confused::eek: get well soon.... or the person who is in there

@iced

pretty nice theory..... i also wondered how it can be that its so laggy, when every driver is available
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jubeh:
Nope, the lag is caused by the vm heap in build.prop (raise it to 32) and the excessive amount of resources inside apks (every apk loaded fills up the memory in no time). Remove all mdpi and ldpi folders from all apks (even framework-res) and that should speed things up considerably.

I do this for the Dream everytime a new SDK is released and a quick-and-dirty port ensues
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IcedCube:
Thanks for that info, I'll go and do that.

Our HD2 is a HDPI device, no?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MotoMudder77:
Yes. it is
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IcedCube:
No worries. I did what jubeh said, and I noticed a boost in performance. You're getting a shoutout in my credits list. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meinstein1987:
So I just got this phone brand new in the box from insurance company and the camera started off working and now all it does is stay on a black screen when loading into the app. It doesn't load at all. This is making me and really mad I don't want to send to get a nnew phone again

Is there a way to fix this with adb or is it a hard ware issue..

I have the 04 hardware
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadgetMonger:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwwolfe77:
Same thing happened to me and I went thru 4 evos In 1 week all of them did the same thing. So I thought to myself I am extremely unlucky but then realized that there was one thing all of my phones had in common, my sd card. I saved my pics to my computer and reformated my card and sure enought it worked. So try reformating your card or try a different card and if that don't work go to sprint and raise hell.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
Reading is hard, he said he is not rooted.

And yes, I had this same problem happen, after reformatting my SD card all was good. But make sure you backup your data to your pc, so you can transfer back after formatting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meinstein1987:
It was hard ok sounds good will try
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meinstein1987:
So i rooted and tried myns rom and new roms still does not work. The sd card i think is fine due to it working in the begging fine then one day just stop loading raise hell at sprint or talk to asurion
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meinstein1987:
Any one
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Take all the pics off of your sd card and format it with the evo then replace the pics into the DCIM folder and you will be fine. It has happened to me too on my replacement phone too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meinstein1987:
I tried format didn't work but if I put pictures back in it should work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abit4u:
I have the same problem as well and I can say with confidence the sd card is the problem. I got a new evo and a new sd card all was good until I copied my old files to the new card. The camcorder stopped working until I formatted the card then it worked. Afterwards I copied my pics only to the card and it was working fine. When I moved some apps to the card it stopped working again. I'm not really sure if it's a single app that's causing that or moving apps to the card is the problem.
[Desire HD General] Herbus:
Hi Folks, I've scoured the forums but couldn't find anything on this already...

I got a phone sent to Australia from Handtec in the UK. I expected it to be UK regionalised, but thought that I could apply a WWE rom and change it. So much for that idea - it came with 1.32.405.6 and I applied the WWE of the same version, but still get "English (United Kingdom)" and some Euro languages only. Also the spoken-directions is enabled for the UK and it suggests I pay for the Australian one...

Is there a way I can set this as an Aus phone?

Much Thanks
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Root and flash CM 6.1, that should give you a generic ROM . the navigation issue is that with Google NAV?
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
The x.x.405.x ROMs are stock european firmwares. The only Australian firmware is the one you get from Vodafone, and is branded. This is because Voda has carrier exclusivity here.

I got mine from Clove, and it came with the WWE ROM. I also got a free one month worldwide premium navigation from the Locations app. I downloaded the Australia map and I can get spoken driving directions. After one month though, I'll have to buy the directions license if I want to keep on using premium navigation. This is similar to everyone who bought their phones SIM-free. Google Navigation also now works in Australia thanks to their last update. I tried and works fine one mine, and is free.

You could try MoreLocale 2 from the market if you really want English (AUS) as the locale.
[Desire HD General] spadival:
I installed the morelocale2 app which gave me more choice including English (Australia). I have a Vodafone branded DHD which came with with English (German) only and French/German.

I still havent removed the other Voda crap like Voda 360 music store or whatever that is.

PS: It was really annoying to see German language videos by default, on Youtube !!
[Desire HD General] Herbus:
I have installed MoreLocale 2 and it's the next best thing to having it like that natively, thank you! Content and searches are much more relevant now :D

I'll see how I go with Google's nav app, though I hear it could be worth buying Navigon or CoPilot... anyway, that's for another day.

Cheers

Herb

umm, I cant give u an exact answer, because I only have one Dell Streak with GAUSB1A1800-EU and so far this update give me a smooth experience...so individual experience about upgrading is different here, but I'm sure it is safe to upgrade as long as you follow right instruction and on your running system there are no "some evil" file that can interrupt upgrade process...I'm no expert here...so please dont ask me about techie question ;)
