I had the same problem when I tried to launch the Gallery app. Doing the same thing with Gallery, Media Container Service, and Media Storage apps fixed it. Just make sure your photos are first offloaded to a PC, since this wipes them all out!

Tip: When adding in your gmail account it will prompt you for X number of days to download. If you've got lots of emails don't download all of it just download a few days worth should be good enough.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguly:
Is there a way I can apply OCLF to my phone with eugenes version of cyanogenmod flashed? I installed ext2 tools and I tried restoring the boot animation and it failed. I know this is because CM changes the SD card location but is there any way I can still install a lagfix? Thx
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortec87:
no need to apply a lagfix to cyanogenmod because its built on ext4, fast enough already i promise
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguly:
Alright thx. Another question though, how can I enable haptic feedback on the hardware buttons? I'm pretty sure I've looked everywhere

From my Cyanogenmod Powered Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortec87:
i believe at the moment there is no fix for that
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
If you were upgrading to a new phone tomorrow. Would it be the sexy Nexus-S, with the beautiful Super AMOLED screen and stock Android, or a jailbreaked iPhone running custom themes and apps ?

I prefer Android lately, I have the EVO rooted with CM 6.1 and it is pretty darn cool. But my Brother currently has a 2yr old iPhone3G, and it is flaky and running like poo lately, he wants a new phone this week. I told him about the Nexus-S, and he is not to sure about going Android yet.

He said there are some cool features with a jailbroke iPhone 4 ? He likes the thinness of the new iPhone and great battery life, plus the screen res is amazing. To me the screen is too small for a cool smart phone, and no widgets blows, but that's what jailbreaking is for I guess.

opinions ??

Nexus S... Don't make a bad decision.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Is this really a question? The Nexus S by far.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
iPhone 4 owners will say "your Nexus S don't even support 720p recording" :D :p

I had an iPhone 3GS jailbroken and decked out the whole shebang. It was "nice". Then got BORED of it and bought the Nexus One. You can only do so much on an iPhone.

Nexus S here I come!
[Nexus S General] clivo360:
wait a month and get the iphone on verizon.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Not officially. Hell up until recently the iPhone didn't support multi-tasking officially either :)
[Nexus S General] dliao:
I'm an iPhone 4 user and i"m gonna say your Nexus S doesn't support external memory :D

either does your's :p

mine supports NFC! and has better graphics

Are you reading more random things on the internet again and believing them? It's almost the exact same hardware as the Galaxy S. Don't tell me they changed the board to have lesser bandwidth just for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
That's from an Android developer ( http://twitter.com/dnaltews ), I wouldn't call it "random" :)

dnaltews @supercurio clock rate limitation of the SoC. Galaxy uses an external image processing part as a work around. Not enough PCB space in N.S.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
We'll see soon enough. I remember something similar being said about the N1, though I can't find it because all I can find is links on the 720p fix for the N1.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Bumping an old thread, but anyone still spotty on this? I've been contemplating after getting my AT&T Nexus S and comparing it to the iPhone 4, but its seems like other than a few more games and larger storage, I actually am siding with the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
there is no point getting the IP4, SNS is so much better in every way

specially SAMOLED

Android Market

All the apps you can ever dream of

not locked to itunes

you can sync and do anything you like with the phone

you can play any media file you want, not locked to itunes

etc...

and the list just goes on and on
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Yes and I agree. I had my SNS listed but removed it. The only thing that's a plus for me with the iPhone at this point is its camera is superior. But ive been asking myself if loosing all that I like in android for a camera on a phone. Battery life used to be a big one too but id put the SNS at 90% of what the iPhone's battery can hold. As far as apps, there's a lot of fluff in the market thanks to wallpapers and ringtones being considered apps. However, of all the apps that i have on my iPhone, id only really miss Tiny Wings and PvZ. Admittedly though, I have an iPad 2 that will hold all of those.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Regardless of apps. Even though Android Market doesn't have the same number of apps. Everything you're looking for is available. If a particular app is paid, you don't have to pay for it, instead you can go for a alternative free version.

Remember, quality of apps > quantity. And open market ;) no restrictions

Almost every app that I want is here. Alternative keyboard / desktops are so much better.

ESPECIALLY when it comes to development. Rooting/flashing ROMs > jailbreak.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Yes. i was running the i9023 odin on my 9020A and it was flawless. good battery life and never had a force close on anything other than MIUI music. However, i couldn't get certain market apps, like paypal and ringlert. Any other suggestions for max battery life ROMs? currently on NSCOLLAB current version.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Hm. what carrier are you using? Try market enabler, you should be able to get those apps.

Max battery tips (hopefully j0hnz wont come here and troll me on the battery topic again):

- Use DARK Wallpapers (Super AMOLED doesn't use power when displaying black)

Various applications such as "XDA" have a skin to theme it black. Check settings for apps you use to see if there's a dark skin of it available.

- Brightness set to 0% (Maybe its too low for you, but I like it.. I find 0% to be still very bright).
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
I'm on AT&T and tried market enabler as well as market access with Verizon and T-Mobile. No luck on either. there must be something deeper than just that with the i9023 backup. No matter, NScollab fixed it. :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Oh okay. so it works now.

I edited my previous post with some tips for battery.

oh yeah.. if you have any apps that are syncing, set the intervals longer (1 hour+)
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Oh yea, that's the first thing i do lol!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
the key is to not use task killers. but you should check android "running" under applications to see if you've installed any "poorly" programmed apps that are constantly running. For example, I installed Tap Tap Revenge (or whatever its called from the market to try it). The next day (after shutting the phone off), I checked the active processes and noticed that it was running in the background when I never started the game.

Why would a game run in the background? :| it's just wasting memory. So I gave that game a 1 star uninstalled that game.

I uploaded the "dark" wallpapers I have. I found this on XDA with a few additions (just the HTC wallpapers.. not really dark but I liked them so I was too lazy to take them out)

Anyway, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ea292h6624350n3
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
YEa i hear you. I've had quite a few androids, actually had a i9020T for a few months with T-Mobile, but had to go back to my iPhone on AT&T because the reception was pretty sub par in my location. Now im back on the i9020A :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Oh yeah. Check your radio, I'm not too sure about the 9020A but for the I9020T theres three radios: JK8/KB1/KB3. Out of the three, KB3 is the best.

If your radio isn't updated, you could firstly find a backup of the radio you have right now. And try flashing a newer radio and see if it improves reception. I'm not sure if KB3 is compatible with 9020A. Improved reception = better battery life too!
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Yes, I flashed KB3 and then added NScollab originally, but reception was spotty. Then i went ODIN with the i9023 that had the KB3 and the reception was much better! Now I wiped and installed the newest NScollab, so i would assume the KB3 from the i9023 odin stayed on, right?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You can check in your Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband version

mines is I9020XXKB3.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Yep, its there. i have "NO DGSXXKB3" though.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
not to start a debate. but umm.. what the hell ?

super amoled in one side. Ratina in another. matter of personal taste. super amoled isnt better than ratina or vise versa

Android market place ? are you seriously giving that crap an advantage over the App store which is 100 times better ?

you dont have to be synced to itunes. you can download and transfer anything you want to iphone without itunes. total commander says hi " transfer through cable". wincp says hi " transfer through wifi "

as for the media player. i am sorry but vlc on iphone destroys anything in terms of media play back on android. and if that software you dont like, there is Oplayer for you.

i am seriously stunned by your reply . specially since you are one of the known posters here. :/
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
im seriously stunned at your biased post.

1. VLC for iOS... HMMM. lets take a look at this, the App Store took this down because it violated rules or whatever. This blends in with Android Market, I think I prefer a market that has less restrictions on what can be put up on the market.

RockPlayer / MoboPlayer are good alternatives. If you have a regular Android phone, it most likely comes with the codecs, so THEREFORE you could use the stock video player and get the same thing, if not better.

VLC for Android is also in the works as well.

Oh yeah.. have fun watching videos on your 3.5" screen ;) I got 4" and 4.3"

2. Open Market -> More customizations

Android is all about customizing the phone to you. Whereas iDevices look all the same.

Quality of apps > Quantity.

3. Whats a ratina? I've never heard of it ;)

4. Voodoo Sound is on the same level as iPod/iPhone/iPad's sound, if not better.

In the end, Android will reign supreme. Why? Android is attacking iOS from all angles. Android is coming with a new phone / tablet every other week.

iOS? 1-2 devices per year (maybe just even 1).

and while im here lecturing about this. I hope you have a good morale about yourself buying iDevice products when people in China are being exploited to make your products -_-

heres the latest post: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/world/jan-june11/china_04-13.html

e.g. child labor, poor working conditions
[Nexus S General] mythamp:
Interesting you point these out,

Just yesterday, I decided to stick to my iPhone 4 (jailbroken ofcourse) as my primary phone.

Here is my breakdown on why i choose the

iPhone 4

this will help anyone on the fence:

Screen

- SAMOLED over Retina (but that does not mean Retina is bad, its still amazing). Nexus Wins, important factor for me.

Multimedia/Video/Music

- Ease of USE is most important here for me - (download-uploading files in the iphone feels primitive at best, I hate iTunes) Nexus Wins.

Performance

- Crisp, swift, these are the factors for me (not Hummingbird/A4) iPhone Wins, important factor for me.

Phone/MMS

- Easy to move about contacts/type sms's fast with accuracy - iPhone Wins here easily, important factor for me.

Apps

- I am indifferent but installu.. makes my day! iPhone Wins

Stability

- Though iPhone has the annoying proximity sensor issue, it still wins as it runs smooth with many apps open and never locks up, gallery does not screw up, phone does not restart when a phone calls comes and an app is running. iPhone Wins

Battery

- Brightness/Web are the most important factors for me here and iPhone can deliver the most longevity - iPhone Wins, important factor for me.

Tweaking/customization

- Deodexed is a blessing. Winterboard/mobile substrate if installed chokes the iPhone battery (so anyone using the iphone, i suggest stick to apps which does not require mobile substrate, like i do). Nexus Wins

General OS Theme/Design & Feel

- iOS is an eye candy, sorry gingerbread/honeycomb is not, its too dark - makes you feel angry about the world, well atleast MIUI is there as an option, but its still in its infancy, ie iPhone Wins, important factor for me.

Camera

- No match, iPhone's camera sensor is just brilliant and beats NS's. iPhone Wins, important factor for me.

Physical Design

- Both shapes are nice, do not believe the guys who say NS is plastic and cheaply built, it is not, Google must have really had to push Sammy to produce a higher build quality and they delivered. But iPhone has a more cutting edge, sophisticated look, it looks great with my corporate lifestyle - so for me, iPhone Wins, important factor for me.

So there - more points to iPhone 4! NS stays in the drawer for making apps and android fun purposes. I have also pointed out the factors which are most critical for me, these might not be the same for all! :)

I am still an android fan, i want it to take over the world cause its open sourced or atleast that is what I was made to believe! I dont like being EVIL! just like Google - what a wonderful message that was, i wish they go back to using that phrase!
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
1- please read the OP.. nevermind. read the TITLE. its JAILBROKEN Iphone. meaning i am not stricked to itunes. Apple can take down whatever they want. as long as i can install it. i am fine with it. hell the whole Cydia is not in Itune.

at least, the VLC was free. Google took down N64 emulators plus others and people PAID For those. meaning if you switch your phone to newer one. you cant have your app that you PAID for it. google isnt different than apple in this regard. rules are rules. both google and apple saw something is illegal or wrong and they took it down. and no. app store is million times better than market place. but whatever

and please. please. please dont talk to me about rock player or Vplayer. i have used them both. the iphone 4 can play a 1080p Videos without any slowdown or hicups. the Atrix i used was dying while reading a 720p video. the nexus S was able play 720p but it was dying at 1080p. dont bring your rock player for your porno movies you download from netflix to determine what is a good player and what is not ;)

3- LoL. nice way to run from a bullet. but yeat. lets just say this is based on preferences. i love more high rex texture while others love better colors. both are good. both have negatives things.

4- no its not the same level as ipod. however i think the samsung galaxy S has better sound and 5.1 surround sound on than nexus S and iphone.

and looooooooooooooooool @ giving me a morale advice about buying an electronic device made in china because people in china have a crysis. yuh... umm. i am not supporting them when i am buying their factory product ? maybe we should all stop buying from china then and they close the factories and have bigger crysis ?

dude wtf

regarding who DO you THINK will win or not is a different topic that i am not intrested to go to.

and btw. regarding apple releasing a phone every year is what makes apple fans loyal to them. and getting more and more people to join apple. because they wont feel cheated and left out when you spend you hard earned money on a phone just to find out the next week that a newer better model coming in 1 month.

so yeah. what you said is negative not a positive thing.
[Nexus S General] mythamp:
Atleast agree with the fact that it is a pain to upload/download files using a jb iphone - why go through so much hassle and still feel so locked in as a whole. the rest, you two can fight it out ;)

[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
oh ofcourse. its not an easy as nexus S. and you have to download total commander or wincp to do so. which lets say you are at your friends house, you liked few songs. you cant take it from his computer because he doesnt have any of the above. its in pain in the butt.

i was only responding to the fact that i dont need an itune to transfer files. and i am not stuck with itune. last time i connected my phone to itune was few months back. and the only reason i did is for back up my info " which reminded me i have to do it again "

Walled Garden vs Open Source.

To me it was as simple as that, and i voted with my money. I have the honor of saying I've never spent a penny on any Apple products.. ever.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Google didn't take down the N64 emulator. The developer did. Google did take down psx4droid. There are alternative markets. It is not just limited to the app store. And don't try to say Cydia is a app store, its like a tweak store.

Netflix and porn? That makes no sense what so ever. And no it doesn't. I'm in no way a audiophile, its better. But you're biased towards apple so I wont even bother.

And whatever, go continue exploiting Chinese labors with their child labor, poor working conditions. I'm not saying we should stop buying from them, because certain companies have better respect for their employees. Apples is one of the worst.

I rather be free than to have Steve jobs telling me what I can do and what I can't. Enjoy using a phone where ever user has the same user interface. So dull and zzzzzzzzz
[Nexus S General] j0hnZ:
Phone for phone, the Nexus S shouldn't be compared to any high end phone at all. It's not a worthy competitor. Having stock Android is not an argument, it's an opinion. It's the features it lacks that will destroy it in a comparison.

As a budding developer I prefer the Android market over the Apple market, I can make small non bloated apps that people can use and I don't have to fork over more than 25 dollars to do it.
[Nexus S General] B-Digital:
as a former iphone user, not even a question, ill never buy another idevice again.

I dont like people telling me how I can use my device or what I can install or whether i can unscrew it and take it apart.

Also my iphone coulda been a lemon the battery life was always crap, it didnt charge properly and its actually shorted out some devices it was plugged into. Now I dont fault apple for this since theres always lemons but it did sour me a quite a bit

aside of the that how is the nexus s "not compared to any high end phone at all"? Unless ive read some wrong specs...

both phones have 1gz processors

both phones have 512 gigs ram

both phones do 3d acceleration

nexus has bigger screen

iphone has better resolution

both have 5mp camera

nexus can use flash (not that i care its going obsolete)

seems like they both have about the same specs biggest difference being the OS which android takes the cake since its not locked down like a socialist country run by kim jong il...

not to mention proprietary cables and itunes....

in all i think iphones are great phones, they revolutionized phones for the better and are great for people that want an amazing phone.

Myself I want an amazing phone that I have complete control over since I like to tinker with my toys, customize and reprogram things to my liking and be free to do as I please with a device I paid for an own. Android is the obvious choice for me
[Nexus S General] j0hnZ:
You're looking at what it has and not what it can do. Over time, eventually, maybe the Nexus S will be a contender. If, we ever get development to make it up to par with the rest of the high end smartphones.

Amount of apps in an app store do not equal better quality apps.

[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
No it doesn't, but if you don't believe iOS generally has better quality apps than Android does, you haven't spent any significant time with an iOS device.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Oh yeah. Quality of apps. They all follow the same boring template.

Content

Navigation buttons in black.

^^ that's a quality app.

What's a quality ui? Apps shaped in a square. Amazing bro.... amazing

Now, if we talk about ios games then I agree with you. We definitely have the same hardware but better because of dual cores. But I can't use a 3.5 in screen. Its too small
[Nexus S General] I Am Marino:
I never said iOS didn't have quality apps, they do have plenty, but that's also natural for a bigger store, my comment was directed at those who think app store size automatically means quality.

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
+1 this is exactly what I've been saying. If numbers is more important than quality then look at android growing rate vs. Ios growing rate ;)
[Nexus S General] lambda30:
What the hell does that supposed to mean ? What's the actual difference between vanilla Android on a NS and a phone filled up with a ton of crapware and a piece of rubbish skin ? Bring some strong arguments, maybe then I'll start considering listening to you.

About the iCrap vs NS: just keep spending the money on the new sofas in Steve's new mansion boys, that'll surely make him happy ! Pathetic...

PS: App Store a few million times better than anything else ? Good, then you're a rich idiot. But then again, you're already an idiot for buying such Icrappy gadgets, so why would some more $'s in Stevie's bank account hurt someone, right ? Pff.
[Nexus S General] j0hnZ:
Not everything in a manufacturer skin is bloatware. I doubt someone of your obvious knowledge is capable of viewing things objectively. You can remove bloatware easier than you can modify a kernel.

This is the last phone I would show an ios user if I wanted to show them the capabilities of android. Saying check out how fast it is would be laughable...
[Nexus S General] brrip:
i think iOS has way more QUALITY apps than android, that run smoother and crash less. but i think the android vs iOS decision comes down to one thing: are you willing to play apple's constant cat and mouse game of sealing jailbreak exploits? or would you rather have slightly inferior apps but a much more customizable phone experience?

P.S. MOST big apps are there on both platforms anyway, so it's not a matter of function, but iphone apps almost always seem to run smoother than their android counterpart. Owning an iDevice and a Nexus, I almost never touch my Nexus for gaming/apps if my iDevice is nearby
