Ok so after some time, I just found the solution, I dont know why I need it, and some people didnt but anyway, for whoever is having the same problem as I did, this is the solution!

This steps are assuming you have ADB ready and installed!

First, open terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)

Run the command:

android update adb

Then you will get a adb_usb.ini file in your $HOME/.android directory. Open that file and you will have the following..

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

Add in the 4rth line the following (Device vendor code, this case NVIDIA 0x0955):

0x0955

Save the file and exit.

On terminal window type

adb kill-server

and then

adb start-server

Adb devices should now show up your device!, if by any reason you get "device offline" a re-plug fixed it!

thanks! :D
[G Tablet General] pmcnano:
damn! bumping this thread, really nothing? I just want to know if anyone can ADB with osx??? Its just me? or what?! thanks
[G Tablet General] Linuxslate:
Works fine for me.

OSX is the only OS I've used (so far) to connect to my G-Tablet via ADB.

Make sure USB Debugging is on on the 'pad, and it's Plug and Play. No udev stuff like on Linux, no USB driver issues like on Winhose.

I have had troubles in the past connecting through USB hubs. I'm currently using the front connectors on a Mac Pro.

Just another trivia note on the subject:

adb remount

Works for me on ZPad, it does not on TnT Lite.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I have a hackintosh netbook, but I don't really use it in this space. Nor Windows. Sorry about that.
[G Tablet General] pmcnano:
Thanks for your reply, so...TnT Lite doesnt work for you?..mh that may be. I have not tried Zpad!

Will keep trying!

no worries! Thanks for the reply man!

[Nexus S General] worry:
Hi.

I am not in the US right now, so I've asked a friend of mine in Seattle area to buy a Nexus S for me.

He went to the big Best Buy at about 10am on the first sales day. He grabbed the phone, payed for it but he was not allowed to take it!!! They told him, they will ship it to him, around Dec 20-22.

WTF? Who had the same experience?
[Nexus S General] doodads:
I'm in the exact same situation, I live in Canada and someone from the US is getting it for me. They said they'll get it on the 22nd at the latest when they bought it.
[Nexus S General] fourakind:
I live in Florida, had no problem going into a Bestbuy store today, purchasing the phone, and leaving with it.

It's charging as I type .........
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
It sounds like your friend picked it up with a contract.
[Nexus S General] worry:
nope, he paid 529 + tax
[Nexus S General] doodads:
I should mention that the person that is getting it for me bought it online, which probably explains the 22nd date :P
[Nexus S General] alexis_p3300:
what means 529+tax. tax not including in 529?
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Walked into a Best Buy at 8am on release day and was given the phone promptly...
[Nexus S General] TestaRossaSTi:
same thing happened when i went to my local best buy store. I then just picked one up at a Best Buy Mobile location, they had tons in stock.:D
[Nexus S General] BuzzSpan:
I went to my BB. I bought the phone on a contract, and walked out with it. That's odd. (from the US)
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I see you're from Switzerland.

uncooked food

[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Maybe OP and his friend had a miscommunication? If not, I say try another Best Buy location.
[Nexus S General] happyandyv:
They dont activate there

I chose to use my old sim and forgo the activation fee and I walked out the door. I really gotta recommend the case they have there at best buy, very slick. I don't have the package anymore but it comes with a separate holster you'll probably like and has the letter Pt in a square for the logo hidden on the phone backing piece.
[Nexus S General] alexis_p3300:
i'm from greece anyway thanks for explaining i didn't knew it..how % is tax for electronics?
[Nexus S General] pdagal:
Non-mobile Best Buy stores supposedly only got 4 or 5 on launch date. Once those were gone, they offered to ship them. Also if you want it with a contract from a regular (not BB Mobile) store, they have to ship it since they don't do T-Mo activations in most non-mobile stores. In my BB store, all phones were gone by 8:10am (glad I got there at 7:50am)! Best Buy Mobile stores were supposed to get 35 or so for launch day.
[Nexus S General] SiL3nTKiLL:
it has to be miscommunication OP
[Nexus S General] going_home:
I went to the Best Buy Mobile inside the Citrus Park Mall (by the food court)

in Tampa today and upgraded my phone (new 2yr contract) and walked out with it.

They are the only store in the area thats a T-Mobile dealer.

The rest of the Best Buys in the Tampa area have it shipped to you if you

want to upgrade and not buy it outright.

The guy told me he had 70 phones on the 16th and I bought number 51.

So he had 19 left if anyone wants to upgrade and not wait for it to ship.

;)
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
About this one. Here in Florida ****ing bestbuy mobile store at sawgrass mall forces u to buy a frikin case that cost 35 bucks when u buy the phone off contract at full price. I was like wtf. And called manager and he was like I'm sorry it was not my decision it was the GM ...if u want u can wait for her. And I said no that's actually the reason she's nor here. Anyway I bought the case no choice ...anyway. I went to big store and returned the stupid case. I know cases protects ur phone but I'm not fan of them.
[Nexus S General] jimmypopulous:
This is when you write to Google customer service. They wouldn't be pleased to hear that their exclusive partner in this release is treating customers in this way.

EDIT: OH JESUS I pulled a they're/their. Shoot me.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
So that's where everyone went. :D Good, because I went to the one in Brandon off of I-75 and there was one other person there besides me when the store opened. I was surprised that Best Buy had at least 6 from what I saw. Citrus Mall was going to be my second pick if I couldn't get one.

I don't even think Best Buy Corporate would be pleased with that.
[Nexus S General] going_home:
I went to that Best Buy last night, there was a huge line, and you could

only leave with the phone if you were buying it outright off contract.

So I went across the street to the Best Buy Mobile inside the Brandon Mall.

Line wasnt as long and they had 3 in stock. But at that point I had

decided to wait for them to ship it to me so I could save the $329 but their computers kept freezing up.

Neither of the Brandon stores are T-Mobile dealers, so thats why they

wouldnt give out a phone with an upgrade.

This morning I went online and saw that the BB Mobile in the Citrus Park

mall was a TMO dealer, called them to hold one, and drove the 32 miles.

:eek:
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
That's bull****(forcing you to buy something). Can you go back and return it(just the case)?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Was the long line for the Nexus? Then again, that Best Buy seems to always be full after 11am and I don't bother to try to get in their. At least you got one.

What I find strange is that the T-Mobile BBM in Tampa is located only at the Citrus Mall. I'd assume that they would at least put it in International Mall since that is like the middle of Tampa.
[Nexus S General] lazyn00b:
Same thing happened to me!

What a crock!

I was all ready to buy the phone... my wallet was in my hand... the guy pulls the box out of the locker... my mouth is watering... I could see the Nexus logo, I think my **** even got a little hard... and then, out of nowhere, the manager comes out and says:

"No, no, no - he can only have the phone now if pays the full $529, contract phones have to be shipped."

WTF:mad::mad::mad:

Now I have to wait 2 days or more!
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I think its kind of funny that you guys are running into Best Buys that are trying to sell only noncontract devices.

When I tried to buy mine, the saleswoman tried to tell me that she could not sell me the phone without a contract and I was outright wrong in my assertion that she could.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Very depressing to hear!

I'm about to head out to Best Buy after dinner with my family to pick one up (with family plan/contract).
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
I thought it was clear that if you want to sign/update a T-mobile contract, then you will have to do it online (or via Best Buy store computer) or at a BBM store that supports T-Mobile.
[Nexus S General] lazyn00b:
Yeah, I think the determining factor seems to be whether your Best Buy normally sells T-Mobile phones or not. Mine doesn't.

This still doesn't explain why they have this dumb policy in the first place. Normally resellers are desperate to get you to sign a contract, right?

:confused:
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
I totally did. Went to a big bestbuy and returned it. ****ers
[Nexus S General] big_adventure:
There is no national sales tax (like VAT in Europe) on anything. Each state has the option to charge a sales tax or not, and it varies by state. Oregon, and 5 or 6 other states don't charge sales tax. California is the highest at 8.25% Most states are between 5 and 6 percent, with some 4's and some 7's thrown in. The sales tax, unlike VAT in Europe, is just about always added at the cashier. If you see something that costs "99" dollars, you'll have to count on actually paying 99 plus the sales tax.

There are a few cities and counties that add an additional sales tax, up to 1.5% more in some cases.

The laws on exemptions vary - but in general uncooked food and dairy products are always exempt from sales tax.
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Yep.... Los Angeles County = 9.75% ....
[Nexus S General] spacemanspiff33:
you guys should come to canada! mmmmmmmmmm delicious 12.5% sales tax on pretty much anything (food as well), on top of some of the highest income tax rates in the world......I love my government!!!

And heres MY bestbuy story...

Ordered the phone online 1 hour after launch to be shipped to my cousin in virginia. Saturday night rolls along and I get an email saying its been backordered.....check the bestbuy forums and people are claiming they ordered on friday and got bumped up to saturday delivery, and other people claiming they ordered thursday/friday and still havent heard a thing, there doesnt seem to be any pattern, just madness left right and centre.....best part is, the phone is still listed on the website as IN STOCK with guaranteed christmas delivery...anybody else miss the google store??

Bah!! Humbug......
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Come to Norway, we have 25% ... :D

Anyway, I ordered online Saturday morning. Backordered. And now I get an Access Denied when I go to http://www.bestbuy.com/ from Norway.
[Nexus S General] navahoo:
just a little mindgame, what about i bought the nxs on my last business trip and cuz i´m a little lazy i ordered online and received it at my us residence.

and now back home i got some issues and need to return it, but therefore i need to connect bestbuy through their site and this is blocked.

so i´m forced to use a proxy... i´m mean really? imho this smells like china, north korea or persia somehow... :(

THIS IS ALMOST 2011 BIT**ES!!! :mad:
[Nexus S General] spacemanspiff33:
Yeah the bestbuy site has been now giving me ACCESS DENIED also for at least the last 6 or 7 hours.

****ing christ this is bull****.....

I ****ing hate bestbuy, the fact the phone is only available through them is the most ridiculous business decision ever....
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Just use a free proxy, then.

I don't think Google had much choice. Ordering online exclusively from Google didn't work, so some kind of large retail chain was needed. Also, it should be possible to get the phone discounted on contract, because that is what customers really want in the US.

This is what I think happened: Best Buy demanded exclusive selling rights in the US (and UK), or no deal. T-Mobile was the only carrier to bite, but made their own demands. Which would explain why Best Buys without T-Mobile only got 4 phones, while T-Mobile Best Buys got from 30 to 75 phones for sale.

The Nexus S is actually T-Mobile branded, but it's not obvious. The Market behaves differently with a T-Mobile sim card. I wonder what other apps do that?
[Nexus S General] umbrella42:
Google should provide Nexus S as dev phone at least. :(
[Nexus S General] blushrts:
You won't ever go bankrupt if you get sick.
[Nexus S General] worry:
Yeah, I was aware about this. So the day before sale I had called to the Best Buy and asked, if they has "Best Buy Mobile" and "T-Mobile Contract" -- positive. So I was expecting them to have like 50 units.

The other thing I've heard they promised overnight shipping for Nexus S. Kiss My ass!! My phone was ordered on Thursday 10 am, and now almost Sunday, what do we have? "Status: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 1 - 2 days."

I hate stupid BestBuy !
[Nexus S General] umbrella42:
But I'm sure Canada is working on it. Germany is f***ing up it's health care too. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] going_home:
Please explain....give examples of differences.

I was led to believe all the phones are the same, both the unlocked phones that cost $529 and the T-Mobile ones for $199 with contract.

I got mine yesterday. They had 70 on the 16th, and I was #51 sold.

One bad thing is you have to buy Geek Squad insurance, Asurion wont insure them,

and the Geek Squad insurance doent cover loss or theft of the phone, only damage.

:confused:
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
that really sux. I ordered late thursday afternoon and got my phone saturday morning. I'm in CA. maybe all the phones are in a west coast warehouse :confused:

oh and btw, I hate best buy too!
[Nexus S General] :
No, just...no.
[Nexus S General] spacemanspiff33:
orly? because I still get a bill every month for medicare, and get raped in the bum every 2 weeks on my paycheck, so its not free as people like to make it out to be.....not just that, but care to guess why I am in Hong Kong right now and not Canada? Because I got sick. And required surgery. If I stayed in Canada I would have to wait almost 2 months to receive said surgery, all the while literally bleeding out of my anus. I was forced to pay for a ticket to Hong Kong, and pay for private surgery, and suffer from lost wages due to me not being able to work. True story.

Canada's "healthcare" is a sham, through and through........not much unlike this bestbuy situation many of us are currently going through.....

I ordered a Nexus S from BB's incredibly lame online site on Thursday at 8:12AM ET. I started clicking the phone at 8:00, and as soon as it went from "coming soon" to "add to package", I clicked. The site is so bad that you have to add a package, then remove the package from the cart page, rather then just having the option to select the unsubsidized version directly.

Anyway, the order went through, and has been sitting in processing ever since. They said initially "delivery between the 17-21 december".

If Amazon can get this right litterally 100% of the time, why can't a company as massive as Best Buy?
[Nexus S General] umbrella42:
Wrong question. :p

If Amazon can get this right litterally 100% of the time, why Google chose Best Buy's 19th century FAIL shoppe and not Amazon as distribution partner? :(

In Germany this decision would be a clear sign of corruption. :p

I'm going to Orlando in 26days (2week holiday from the UK) planning to pick up my nexus s while I'm out there. Alot of people mentioned that best buy took there details, what shall i do give them my UK details or my hotel details or some random Orlando address?
[Nexus S General] Michigan Jason:
Formee BBY manager here...

Ok, as a former best buy manager for 5 years, I can tell you that them pushing an accesory that is marked up by 70% is normal, however they cannot make you buy it, it is unethical and if you were to contact corporate 1-888-best-buy, they would reign hell on the stores GM and compensate you with a gift card.

That said, returning the case to any store other then the same one that sold it to you did not hurt that store, just the company in general. The stores numbers are not affected by a return unless it is returned to the same store.

We always got really pissed off taking returns from another store, because we didnt get the revenue in our numbers in the first place, and now we are going negative on the item rather than just breaking even.

Just my .02

Lesson, always return to the same store you bought it from if you want to stick it to them directly. They cannot tell you that you must buy an item, and they cannot tell you that you cannot return it within the return policy.

And, in an update...

I got a "Your package is on the way!) email today from BB, saying that my package with my NS was shipped on the 16th, including a tracking number. Really? What happened to the intervening 4 days?

UPDATED: And I just checked the tracking number - it was delivered 20 minutes ago - roughly 2 hours after I received the "Your package is on the way" email from Best Buy, and less than 8 hours after I had checked the site and seen that my order was still processing.

Alls well that (hopefully) ends well - I'll see in 2 days when I head back to the States.
[Nexus S General] big_adventure:
In France as well! Actually, in Germany OR in France, it would totally depend on whether or not there was a German/French company getting the shaft. I don't know that France or Germany would defend Amazon's interests from Pixmania (French, but wholly owned by Dixon's in the UK) for example, and I'm rather sure that France at least wouldn't lift a finger to protect Amazon from FNAC or Carrefour.

Let's launch a petition to Google that any future Nexus be launched via Amazon. They can partner with a brick 'n mortar as well, but Amazon should be the mandatory channel for everything as far as I'm concerned.*

*Note: I'm both an Amazon Premier client in France and an Amazon Prime customer in the US, so my objectivity can be questioned.

[Nexus S General] big_adventure:
I hope it works out as well for you as it apparently did for me. I heard on Engadget that one of their contributors (Myriam, I think) ordered the phone and also decided to go buy one on launch day. She got the phone on the 17th in the mail and decided to return it. She went into her local store (where she had bought the launch-day walk-in). But in the store, the computer showed that the offer was still in fuffilment and not yet shipped. The physical evidence of the phone, along with the shipping box and the invoice was not enough to convince them to accept the return, and she therefore had to wait until the computer updated to show that the item had shipped before she could return the phone. That's just cracked.
