[Optimus One, P500, V General] daramji:
I recently purchased an Optimus T and rooted it with z4root and then installed Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps, like the Pacman Demo.

As I was removing each app, (~5 at this point) the Home button suddenly stopped working, followed by total phone death. Even after factory reset, when I was trying to access the phone, eventually I was shown a "... setup.exe stopped responding..." (or something like that) message and my phone just stayed stuck on the booting screen (android) every time I restart (w/o entering factory reset).

Does anyone have any ideas, or know which apps can prevent the phone from booting properly? A list of safe apps to delete would be helpful too. I thought I was pretty cautious with removing only non essential apps, but it seem bricked. Thanks again!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
About list off apps, I have to agree. Even it there is litle problem with dependencies, some minimum describe of these issue will be great!!

So, about your problem - I think, that you will have to download original ROM and do flashing with KDZ_FW_UPdater. (search on xda for more information).

But definitely, if it's possible I would try to install custom recovery throw adb shell (android SDK tools) and do backup of system for possibility to recovery or saving at least few data, and after try wipe and install one of custom ROM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
This happened to me after I tried deleting preinstalled apps on my Optimus One... Sent it in for repairs since it just stopped working. The tech guy said he did a "software update" and everything is good as new (except for the LGMITS error once in a while)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] daramji:
They didn't even bother trying to fix mine. They just told me to send it in and gave me a replacement.

So I finally figured out what I did wrong - basically when I was doing the deleting, I accidentally deleted the LG Home app, which effectively deactivated my (duh) home button and effectively stopped everything from functioning properly. For some reason I thought it was just a simple link from my phone directly to the LG website, as would happen with new PCs very often. Well... won't be doing THAT again.

However, my web2go button isn't working. I have to force quit every time I try to click on it. Can I just get rid of it or will it just give me more trouble later on?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
At least you knew what went wrong with yours... I was just erasing CarHome and Layar and the LG App Adviser among other things i wont be using like Twitter and Latitude.

And they even gave you a new one x__x I had to wait 5 days before everything was good as new. After the first fix, USB debugging and mass storage stopped working so I sent it in for another "software update"...

Has anybody been able to get a smooth copy of Angry Bird playing on the HTC Touch Pro? not Touch Pro 2... I've tried xdandriod 2.2.1, but it laggs like crazy. I forget if it was the full or lite that actually loaded.

Anyhow, the game starts barely playable since it laggs too much. If anybody has this game up and running smoothly, can you tell me what your setup is? What version of angry bird?

Another question, when i shutdown the andriod, reboot, come back into the andriod, the angry bird app links is missing. I can reinstall it, and it says it is already installed and will overwrite the old copy. Then the link reappears, and disappears again after a reboot. Any idea?

[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
What do you think it is going to be like on the 16th? When BestBuy says stuff like this

it worries me :) I mean because Id hate to be without a phone until I found an NS..I have 3 Bestbuys within 20 minutes of me and are pretty sure even if the demand is high enough for them to need to use a ticketing system. or maybe the supply is low? But either way If i have to wake up at 7AM to be there when they open I will

Just curious as to what you all think?
[Nexus S General] ljwnow:
I am not worrying about it. People here seem not very into those modern toys. There are two Bestbuys nearby. I guess I'll just drop by when I wake up.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
I really have no clue and wish I did :o

I think there will be a VERY tiny amount of people that actually know / are ready to buy the Nexus-S on it's debut date but one of the smart guys on here suggested going to a best buy that doesn't sell T-mobile handsets in order to increase your chances.

I'd say you would def be able to get your phone on the day of launch though :)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Ya, i figure get there when they open and you should be good if anything
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Yeah you'll be fine :)

I mean, in the entire 10 months I've had the Nexus-1 I've only seen one other person with it. Chances are it will be the same for the Nexus-S and you will get it no problems ;)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ya ive only seen one person with a N1 as well but you forget the N1 was only sold online and not advertised at all...maybe we will see an ad campaign starting Monday
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
True, very true, good points. It wouldn't surprise me to see a TV advertisement since Google made that commercial with the view were your looking at the persons feet the whole time.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Im sure they will seeing as the N1 was a "marketing failure" but i really hope we dont end up seeing every other person with a NS...thats why i loved the N1, very unique
[Nexus S General] Spazzvogel:
Personally, I think your chances of grabbing one are good. It seems to be very similar to the galaxy line, and if samsumg sold 3 million in the us, I know those folks won't be ready to shell out $600.00 four months later.

I am gonna ask my dad, to pick one for me from Cincinnati - Best Buy. There are 3 in cincinnati, I guess. I hope he gets to pick one after 3-4 days from there. Say by 20th December.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I stopped by my local best buys all of which dont carry tmobile and all of which have NOOOO idea about the Nexus and are saying they wont be getting it because it is a Tmobile device

Bestbuy is sooo assbackwards they have no idea whats going on with the device
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Did you read their FAQ? They stated that they are currently spreading the news among all Best Buys. It just takes time and if the manager of the stores don't tell the employees, then expect to hear that from the employees.

The Nexus S doesn't have the popularity of the iPhone, so I'd assume supply/demand will just be fine. Possibly, a Best Buy located in a populated area would get more in stock than those that aren't. Just my guess.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ya i know, im just trying to be sure, because Id hate to be without a phone, I do business on my phone so not having one would really suck.

Talking to some managers they said that Sunday is the "new product ad drop"
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
Ive only seen 1 person also
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Am I the only one seeing the Nexus S ads on these very forums? (HTC ads come up too).

It's funny talking about the Nexus S with the ad flying around in that ad bar...
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I believe the ads are handled by google so figure if your searching for Nexus S on google you will get targeted ads, and this is a phone site so it makes sense :)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Only 157 best buy mobile stores will have the phone, thats the latest info i heard
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
From where or is this a secret source that you can't tell us? Just wandering.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Ive been on the phone with Best Buy/NExus S Call center since 10 AM PST and up until 4PM I was told that they have no information that they can tell me. But then on one of my batches of calls they all told me the same thing, 157 Best Buy stores/Best buy mobile will be getting them.

But i was also told buy one of the reps, who i talked to for a good 45 minutes about the subject that they get new information every day and i should continue calling them because they give out info as they get it

He says that by the 14th they should have information as to what stores will be getting the NS.

Take it for what its worth, thats just the info i got from them . Just doing some digging of my own :) but i will be calling to see if there is anything new they can tell me and ill keep you guys updated if anything
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
You know, I really don't think it'll be out of stock. You should be able to get a piece easily.
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
I honestly can't imagine they will only have 4 phone per store that does not sell T-mobile...Why bother making so much noise and launch then?

70% of Best Buy stores do not sell T-mobile phones...

Best buy has 1192 stores in the US.

Figure 30% sell T-Mobile: 375 store * 75 phone per store = 26820 phones

817 stores do not sell T-Mobile * 4 phone per store = 3268 phones...

You honestly think they they will bother launching this phone with an inventory of 30,088 phones + some change that they have in the warehouses?

I don' think so.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:

[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
The UK launch is Dec. 20th, and I'd guess they have some for online ordering, as well. So, they obviously have more than 30,088 + change.

Who set the 4 phone limit? Google or Best Buy? Or even T-Mobile? Unlocked phones are poison to US carriers.
[Nexus S General] Lootes:
I think a good point was made on how many people are really going to go purchase this phone on launch day, let alone the morning of the launch. There has not been any mainstream marketing for this device. So that narrows the field down to people who read tech blogs. A hefty number but still small compared to something like an iPhone launch. The field is further reduced due to many people don't want to or aren't able to move to T-Mobile or ready for an upgrade. $529 is a steep price tag to pay for all those but the truly tech gadget devout. So how I see it, that leaves us with three groups of people left. Ones such as us that will be running around launch day to get one, ones that know the device and are not interested in it, and finally people that are interested but want to check it out. I can't believe this latter category will be out the morning off. Long story short, I think we will be alright to get ours.

Yes, on Los Feliz Blvd I think.
[Nexus S General] varungandhi:
I just called Best Buy in my area and they confirmed that they will only have 4, yes, only 4 f**king handets to sell. If they sell out, which they will, there will be an option to order it through Best Buy's website. This is ridiculous. I will get up super early to go stand outside the store. Hopefully, i'll be able to get my hands on one and head to work from there.

What i dont understand is why the f**k Best Buy's press release said that they were going to use the ticketing system to deal with the traffic looking to purchase the Nexus S handset.

Do you really need a ticketing system to deal with 4 people buying their handsets at the store itself? I dont think so.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
like ive said before, The amount of people going to buy a handset at 8AM for a full 530 dollars is very slim....
[Nexus S General] varungandhi:
yeah. i guess you're right. but you never know.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I'll guarantee you that if you see someone else they are from XDA

Stores listed there are Stores and Mobile Mall Stands that sell T-Mobile products, plans and services.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Didn't see that. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Funny. There's only one store near me that sells T-Mobile services. Luckily, it's only about a 15 minute drive.

That's not even the best part. I live in San Francisco, and you'd think they would carry T-Mobile in the stores in the city (we have about 3 IN the city of SF).
[Nexus S General] samven582:
Not a single Bestbuy on long Island sells T mobile :(. The nearest Bestbuy to me is 10 minutes and I really hope they get more then 4 units.
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
Just got off the phone with Best Buy Mobile in Sandord fl. The guy was really nice and said he would put me on the list to hold one for me but he had to be honest there were so many on the list that there is little chance(read no chance) that I could pick one up and might not even be able go get one online.AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He apologized said there was nothing he could do and I agreed with him and thanked him and than hung up.This is the only Best Buy mobile store that is in my area. He also had indicated that with the small quanities allocated to non t mobile affiliates there is very little chance there as well. I am slowly losing my eagerness to purchase this phone and have formed a very very HUGE dislike for Best Buy. Unbelievable that Google would get in bed with BB and allow this type of launch after their fiasco on the N1. It is evident to me that BB just does not care and doesn't consider the phone to be a major player and Google still just does not get it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
There is NO list....it is first come first serve
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
The phones are selling like hotcakes on eBay. Would really be a shame if those eBay sellers couldn't get hold of all the phones they're sold already.

:p
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Not a shame.... would be HILARIOUS. Hopefully they get bad feedback, and hopefully the buyers get their money back.
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
tell that to the BB mobile I just spoke with he definitely stated that they had a list and agreed to hold the phones for the people who signed up. He indicated that it was being done in other stores as well. I am just conveying what I was told. Judge for yourself whether to believe it or not. He did offer to put me on the list but indicated it would be futile due to limited stock.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
heh weird, just called the BBY im going to and they said first come first serve, still showing 4 on order but "dont know when we will get them"
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:

[Nexus S General] CraigP17:
If it makes you guys feel any better, employees cannot purchase.

Here's the facts, T-Mobile is not in every Best Buy. Not even close. T-Mobile is on the bottom end of the 4 major us carriers. Wouldn't make sense to be in every store.

Order online or let the store order. You didn't walk into a store to get your nexus one either.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Id love to do it that way, but already have a buyer for my N1 on wednesday
[Nexus S General] varungandhi:
So i just called the Best Buy in neighborhood, where i thought i was going to be able to pick up the phone first thing Thursday morning, and got told that now they're not sure if they're even getting any phones to sell. This is the store that was originally expecting 4 devices. And the rep explained that that may be the scenario given they dont do T-Mobile activations there. Anyway, then i called this other store and they ae telling me that they have 35-40 phones in stock and chances are there is going to be a line outside by 8am.

This is starting to really make me mad now.

F**k Best Buy!!

Nice, 210 stores will have this with the closest one being over 3 hours away from me. This sucks that we can't pre-order this phone online and have it on the 16th and it also sucks that all stores don't have them. Where else can I get this other than Best Buy?

You guys in the US/UK are lucky, that you are getting the Nexus S on December 16th. I am from India and we have no clue when its coming here. If anyone has any news about it please do let me know! I am eagerly waiting for it. Otherwise i would have to settle for the Galaxy S.

So if none of the stores in my area are on the list of T-mobile selling Best Buys, is there a chance that my local Best Buys won't have any at all? I was planning on heading there after work instead of ordering online so I could have it in my hand, but not sure now hehe

[Nexus S General] Lockeskidney:
i got off the phone with a tmobile rep and asked her how the launch was going. Apparently not so well. Best buy is requiring people get on certain plans (which isnt required because of the phone being unlocked) and all troubleshooting is not dealt with by tmobile (since they are not carrying the device)

i thought google learned their lesson withe Nexus launch
[Nexus S General] CraigP17:
How the launch was going? It doesn't start til tomm. Best Buy is not requiring any special plans. You are required to carry the T-Mobile required data plan when you sign contract and get smartphone for subsidized price. The only way to avoid a required data plan (for any carrier through any channel) is to buy outright.
[Nexus S General] Lockeskidney:
i know, i think she was referring to people calling in with questions and their overall dealing with what is to come
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
Just talked to the nearest BB non-affiliated store in my area. The rep tells me once again that they will have a few, but would not say how many. He indicated to me that the store does have a list and there are already 10 names on it ahead of mine. I was told the same thing in a later phone call to a BBmobile store as he took my name as well. He than indicated that If I was there when they opened that I would get some kind of preference, beings as I was on the list. He then said I had to call back at 7 this evening as they had still not received their stock yet. This was at 2 pm this afternoon I do not know wide spread this is I have no idea. Might be only here in Central Fla. This has cropped up in 2 of the 4 stores within 50 miles of me. 1 store would not give me any info at all. Not trying to start any BS just relating what I have found this afternoon.
