[Defy Android Development] :
This CWM is working sporadically on my phone. The 1st reboot into recovery is okay but subsequent ones almost always reboot into blank screens.
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
Hey I've been getting an "MD5 Mismatch" when trying to restore an old nandroid of my system. I think it may have been made with the original version of System Restore prior to the update which fixed the boot loop problem.

1) Could this actually be the case?

2) What causes MD5 Mismatch?

3) Does anyone have the OLD version of system restore?

EDIT: Sorry all...did some reading and it was SPACES in the backup folder name. Took spaces out and worked a treat.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Will we one day have the option to go into recovery mode from a cold boot? Then it would be a real recovery tool in case the system does not boot anymore or is too buggy to use.
[Defy Android Development] bschuele:
No, I dont think so, because the org. recovery is signed....

[Optimus 7 Accessories] elmstrom:
Have any found a charging dock for the optimus 7 or just one that fits?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] kapanak:
I wouldn't know how it would work though, given that the micro usb port is covered my that plasticky flap/cap. I would be interested in a battery that supports the induction-based charging though...
[Optimus 7 Accessories] elmstrom:
You just cut the flap/cap off :)
[Optimus 7 Accessories] kapanak:
Thought about it, but then I thought about the fact that the LED backlight leaks through the back of the micro usb port. And it would just look plain ugly with it removed. I mean, this device is all about uniformity and solidness...a missing chunk is like a missing ... shoulder...
[Optimus 7 Accessories] JimReid:
Don't know if it is true or not but I heard on another forum that Verizon has a doc for a different phone that works. There was a problem with the side buttons on the LG but not in all cases and people simply widened the doc slightly so the side buttons didn't hit. Don't remember the name of the docking station though you should be able to check in a Verizon store.

Hope this helps. I also miss the docking charger from my Blackberry that I sold when I got my LG.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Jakoozie:
I want one!!!! :d
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
I'm using the latest version of lpp and i feel it's training battery faster than sense. Im using same amount of widgets and i just got rid of atk.
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Probubly because sense is still running in background
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
how do i get that out?
[Wildfire General] Was3k:
Set LauncherPro as default and reboot the phone. (I´m not sure but it should work)
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Go to Settings--> applications. Scroll down to HTC Sense (or look for Sense) and Stop it and erase data.

Make sure you don't start Sense after doing this, so go directly to Launcherpro

You can also freeze it with Titanium Backup, so it won't be running.
[Droid X General] strungout420:
Before the latest OTA update, when I first got my X, I wanted to use SMS Backup+ to backup my texts and MMS messages to my Gmail account.

When I installed it, the app warned me that there was a bug with the time coding on the Droid X (and I think it said Droid 2 also), and that I should install SMS Time Fix.

And if you read the threads about this issue, it says that Motorola is (was?) working on a fix and that they would issue and update...

So did they fix it? Do I still need SMS Time Fix?
[Droid X General] molivas37:
I would keep using time fix. I am running the official 2.2.1 update and noticed last night that the time stamp is still wacky on my X.

[Nexus S General] Singlespeed:
Have any of you guys bought the phone on contract? Are they requiring you to change plans? I am wanting to keep my same plans for voice and data.
[Nexus S General] OctoPI:
Ordered mine on bestbuy.com, and got the no-contract version. Can't wait to get it.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Just came back from Best Buy. They had at least 6 from what I've seen. One person got their before me.

Despite being made of plastic, this thing is solid.
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I got mine and paid in full.

I don't have much time right now as I have to take final exam.

If someone with a Nexus S is willing to make a system dump you can join irc.freenode.net #nsdev on irc. There are lots of smart people to talk you through the process :)

Someone know how long takes GNS to cross Atlantic from USA to EU ?

[Nexus S General] thepoetvd776:
Stupid question here but the T-Mobile sim car included, do i have to use that one, or can I just stick with the one from G1?

I'm thinking that I can stick with the one from G1 but what can I do with this extra one? sell it? or is it already linked to my phone number since I remember that BB lady asking what number would be used with the phone.
[Nexus S General] Beatle405:
Pretty sure I was the first in OKC, OK. For sure in Mooer. There were two other people there. One lady was buying a Nexus S, a G2, and a cheap feature phone. Some kids will be happy for Christmas....one, not so much. ;)
[Nexus S General] Phantom1275:
I envy you all. I'll have to wait to buy it here in Brazil, probably in "black market", paying double the normal price.

Doesn't anybody wants to buy one for me and send it to Brazil? I'll pay a hundred bucks more, plus the shipping.
[Nexus S General] xhuix:
Does T-Zone work on this baby?
[Nexus S General] fr4c:
Use the one you have in your G1, since that has all of your account info as well as your mobile number. The SIM card in the box is for those who are new to T-Mobile and/or need a new number and/or plan.
[Nexus S General] BlueScreenJunky:
Isn't that a pretty low score ? I thought Galaxy S phones running Froyo got above 2000 o_O

Maybe I'm mistaken.
[Nexus S General] bob.zxr:
If you are willing to pay more for it, you can easily buy one on ebay. There are a couple of sellers who ship worlwide.

[Nexus S General] guys234:
Adding to the request,

can some please check if other, Non T-Mobile, sim-cards works?

cause on my order it said Nexus S (T-Mobile) and i'm not sure if the Phone

is unlocked on not...

if unlocked I have to call BestBuy soon and change my order,

so someone please, do us this little favor.

Thanks,

Guy.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
its unlocked. 100% any sim will work
[Nexus S General] CLShortFuse:
Does SuperOneClick work with it to root it?
[Nexus S General] JRFogarty:
Local Best Buy in MA had plenty and there was just me and another guy there. Now it's burning a hole in my pocket as I wait for number port from Verizon to complete and sim card to activate.
[Nexus S General] irshanuddin:
Didnt have to change my data plan on contract

I Ordered a Nexus S at a Best Buy for home delivery. I was due for an upgrade so got the $199 pricing. The lady there showed where I wasnt asked to change my 5.99 tzones plan to a $30 one. Whole thing took 15 minutes. They did have 4 unlocked in stock. But keep in mind, even the ones coming with a contract are unlocked.

Best Buy,

Strongsville Ohio
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
superoneclick, from my experience doesn't offer true root...besides, it is not needed for this phone. it is a dev phone. root=simple

the carriers are the ones that ask the oems to lock down the phones (although nothing is unrootable)
[Nexus S General] debro012:
got mine! plus a extra.... anybody need one?
[Nexus S General] :
Oggs did you get yours bro?

What do you think of the beast?

JD;)
[Nexus S General] :
dont tease us!

im waiting for a CM version to come out before i grab an NS. Having a CM N1, its impossible to move to a new phone with some CM-goodness.
[Nexus S General] CLShortFuse:
As the guy who root SuperOneClick, I can tell you, it does offer "true root". I just want to know how far it goes. It doesn't unlock HTC's NAND protection but all other phones (including the Droid2 and Nexus One with the 2.2.1 OS) can be rooted with SoC.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
hey JD,

it's 720am here in socal...waiting in front of my local bestbuy...0 people in line:D

I can't wait, I had my N1 for 10 months, that is a record for me. But I am excited for the NS primarily because it is samsung hardware...far superior to htc imho.

the day nokia goes android, i'm onboard
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I disagree, maybe on a few phones...

I tried it on the defy because I was lazy...no beuno

there is no better way than adb
[Nexus S General] debro012:
im not teasing. you can have it!
[Nexus S General] :
Good luck mate;)

Im with you all the way on both comments... Android on nokia hardware would rule!

And HTC are seriously failing in their build quality department of late, both the HD and Z/G2 i had had funny crackling in the internal speaker when initiating a call over 2g. They are going downhill fast if you ask me quality wise;)

What makes me laugh is people say samsung are bad with build quality, i dont think they are at all. A HTC phone feels like it will fall apart in your hands, lol

Hope you get one pal,

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah, for 600 dollars, lollol

[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I didn't care for the Nexus S at first, but it won me over as I watched more videos, read more information, and handled the device personally.

I just got back from picking up my Nexus. The saleswoman at the Best Buy I went to did not want to sell it to me out right. She flat out told me that I was mistaken, incorrect, and wrong that they were selling the phone unlocked without a contract. I was kicking myself for leaving my G2 at home, otherwise I would have pulled up the press releases from Best Buy and showed her what they had been releasing to the public.

It took 10minutes and a manager before she would agree to sell me the phone without contract. It wasn't simply that she wanted to make a commission off the contract sales(if that's even how it works), but that Best Buy (and it seems like it's up to their sales staff) can, will, and do "reserve the right to only sale products with a contract." Paraphrasing, but that was what she kept telling me. At one point, I asked her what if I was under contract with T-Mobile and not eligible for renewal? She said, "Then you can't buy this phone period." Once management got involved, it was fixed promptly but still a frightening ordeal.

There was another gentlemen there who, while she was finally checking me out, asked about the Nexus S and wanted to see a demo model. She said that she didn't have one avaliable and so I offered to show the gentleman mine. He was coming from a Blackberry and was thinking about getting the Nexus as his first Android phone. After giving him a pretty good demonstration of it's features(of which he was grateful and excited about getting one), I advised him not to deal with the saleswoman who had "helped" me because of her awful customer service.

So my recommendation to you folks who haven't gotten their Nexus yet is to bring a copy of Best Buy's press releases or at least make sure you have your current phone with you to avoid an issue like mine.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
exactly, my biggest gripe was/is the speaker phone on the N1...oh yeah and the screen calibration...and the poor battery life, and etc... hahaha
[Nexus S General] debro012:
how did you know my price! LOL
[Nexus S General] :
Thats terrible, in the UK we would have made an example of the B****H. That is unusual for the USA though. Usually you have outstanding customer service, most of your service guys are like pre programmed robots, lol....

Espically t-mobile USA customer service

[Nexus S General] Amin Sabet:
Bought mine without contract and activated on T-Mo. Store had 4 phones, and I got the first one with three guys waiting on line to get theirs :).

So far, love it. The black case they sold me with it is sweet. Was looking for such a case for my HTC Incredible and never found one.

First impressions:

Good:

Feels solid and looks great

Very responsive

Keyboard is great (being wider than the Incredible helps)

Included headphones are better than most included headphones; a nice surprise

Screen is nice and bright

Bad:

Display has a greenish tint compared to the Incredible display. I should mention that I have a freshly applied Zagg screen protector on the Nexus, so maybe that is contributing to the issue

Google Voice is acting up. Could just be that my service is too new.

Doggcatcher is acting up. Wondering if the lack of SD card is the issue?

I'm 99% sure this is a keeper. Will make sure I get a signal at home before sending the early termination notice to Verizon.
[Nexus S General] :
haha, that will all pale into insignificance when you make this purchase in the next few moments;)

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Because we have the same profit margins;)

Can anybody of you lucky guys report about GPS issues?
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
No issue. One of the things I demonstrated was the GPS and Google Maps Navigation. This was within 5minutes out of the box.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
Unlocked phone are an oddity in the US....people really don't what they really are (most think it is like jailbreaking an iphone)

google thinks the reason the N1 "failed" because they believe people want to (hold) and try the phone before they buy....I believe this to some extent...but the real thing that drives mobile sales here in the US is television ads...9 out of of ten people call android phones "droids", its quite annoying

btw, I guarentee that salesperson was an icooner
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Just got mine too! This screen owns!
[Nexus S General] jblade1000:
got mine here (just outside chitown). The only best buy near me that actually sells tmo phones is further than i wanted to drive (but they had 75 in stock yesterday), so i called two closer ones and they both confirmed the same thing that the BB announcement did: Stores that didnt sell tmo normally would only get 4 phones in stock. I decided to risk it and sure enough, I was the only waiting for the store to open, no lines or nothing. walked in, bought it, walked out and its charging now.

I have a vibrant so im not overly exicted like someone would be coming from another phone. I was already a SAMOLED fan. I was already a Hummingbird fan (ridiculous GPU, seriously). Truth is, I want to start developing and i wanted a backup phone thats not synced with my work email (and other stuff). AlsoI want to be supported by google for updates, not a carrier or manufacturer. I love my vibrant i really do (never had the gps issues as bad as others and mine was a launch day vibrant), but i wouldnt be surprised if my nexus gets honeycomb before the vibrant gets froyo.

Lastly, how do we root this thing? Im hearing that OEM unlock is supposed to be sufficient but does that do the same thing as the SuperUser for apps that require full root (Root Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium, ShootMe, etc)? I have a lot, and i mean a lot, of apps that require root, so I'm just curious if "OEM unlock" suffices or if thats simply for flashing.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
OEM unlock will unlock the boot loader to allow you to flash a custom recovery / unsigned roms. From the custom recovery you can flash the SU binary or a repack with root.
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
There's a guy from Rio selling it in ML for R$2,199 lol

Man I want this phone now, can't stand my milestone anymore :(
[Nexus S General] jblade1000:
Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it. So if I unlock it, I could install like a ClockWorkMod recovery and flash the required root files from there? Or am i missing something?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Just got mine. I got to BB at 6am, only cars were there were employees. 15 minutes till 8am, more and more cars came, but they were all employees. At 8am, I walked in (first) and the guy at the Cell Phone area asked if I was there for the Nexus S, I said yes, he grabbed one, I asked how many he has, he has 10. A came up behind me.

I bought the Platinum Case with belt clip, it's the Seidio case, I love it. I was able to use the 12% coupon on the case, not the phone. Bought it full price obviously.

As I was leaving, the guy behind me wanted it on contract LOLOLOLOL gonna have to order it in store and have it shipped to him LOLOLOL
[Nexus S General] lokto7:
anyone couldn't get it due to no stock??
[Nexus S General] samven582:

me... apparently getting there 15 minutes before opening wasnt enough
[Nexus S General] sassyness77:
Well I couldn't get it because of no instant approval of a bestbuy credit card! :( I guess I'll be waiting 3 weeks for my money from paypal to be freed! :mad: If only I had another phone to use during that 3 weeks since my nexus is now on its way to Australia! And I was going to pay off the bill in under a month, I just want it NOW :)

How much?

[Nexus S General] sclui56:
Just p/u mine in Woodland Hills, CA. Got there 7:55a, one person in front. Door opened, walked in, NO mobile employee for another 5 mins. The mobile rep showed up and told us they don't have TMO phones and she could order. The first guy didn't stay to argue, I did, and there was stock after all.

Totally clueless, hope Google has a better sale experience w/ the N2.

[Nexus S General] cu_ninja:
I got super lucky. Went to the BB by my house at 7:30, manager comes out and says they are already accounted for. Fought rush hour traffic to get to another BB at 8:03 got in line and found out they were out too. But then one of the guys buying his couldn't get his credit card to work. Yeah me!
[Nexus S General] jm9843:
Official Car Dock

Honesty, I think that the Nexus S is an attractive upgrade over the Nexus One that I would consider.

But the biggest sticking point for me is the lack of an official car dock or even an announcement that alludes to one coming out. I'm spoiled by the official Nexus One dock and rely on it too much for Google Nav and such.

It seems like a big oversight that the Nexus S lacks one.
[Nexus S General] provenflipper:
No GPS issues for me. Locked in on my location within 70 meters indoors within seconds. Put a smile to my face.

I walked into my local BestBuy at 8:05, one guy was walking out with one, I scooped mine in and out in about 5 mins.

I will say I was a little skeptical based on the feel of the Vibrant, and didn't plan on keeping it. As soon as I got it put together and operational, my opinion quickly changed. This thing is nice.

Now to finish getting it setup since none of my apps restored.
[Nexus S General] Cheeze[iT]:
Got mine. Got to BB 20 minutes early, first one there. Only 2 people got it this morning. No rush :) Lovin it so far
[Nexus S General] c_licious:
biggest complaint so far, screen looking very yellowish unless display is set to full brightness.
[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
Anyone having an issue syncing Facebook contacts?
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
When I put in my SIM card and turned the phone on it had my CM6.1 wallpaper displayed. How did it pull that off? It also downloaded all my apps, but I guess that's nothing new.

Is JIT enabled on this thing? I only get ~14 MFLOPS in Linpack. Also, the quadrant benchmark only runs the 3D portion sometimes. When it did run I got 1805 on the first try.

EDIT: This thing definitely does not play well with Quadrant. The spinning earth is just a big gray globe and it often just bails out of the test and back to the Quadrant home screen.

EDIT: I meant SIM card not SD card - corrected above.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
No GPS issues for me either. Its fast and nice.

At times I accidently put my phone to sleep when I use the volume toggles....since the sleep is on the opposite end.
