Not quite the same thing as actually rotating it with your fingers, now is it? :P

So no, from the point of multitouch, rotate isn't working.
[Legend General] jaStrom:
I can get the 3D buildings in the applicable cities, but I can't change the angle while wiping down with two fingers. I didn't think that changing the angle was supported for the Legend. Is it actually working for you?
[Legend General] nolook:
yes i can change the angle but it seems to have a limited range of motion...
[Legend General] Asovse1:
wtf maps aren't even loading, not even on wifi.
[Legend General] sz1a:
I don't have change angle and I don't have the compass mode. It only centers on my location and thats it. I'm on Cyanogen mod maybe thats why.

Tilting now working after updating CM6.1 to the experimental kernel oO
[Legend General] cobraplayer:
Hi guyz, Do these features work only on froyo? My legend is still on 2.1 (as froyo update in not released here in Aus). I didn't find anything new in google maps 5. No 3d views of any cities, no tilt/rotate, no compass mode. Same old tiled-maps :(.
[Legend General] previn:
In UK looks like Cardiff, Birmingham & Leeds have 3d features.

In Brum I can see city centre in 3d, tilt & rotate with compass all very smoothly.

Very Nice!
[Legend General] Lord-Vader:
still can't use navigation when starting off-line. I want this to replace my clunky iGo app. This needs to be more like Nokia Ovi maps
[Legend General] nolook:
i got it working...with the default settings it seems like it only keeps maps you browsed while on a wifi connection available for offline usage...

not sure if everything is available but it should be with the vector graphics...
[Legend General] Duberman:
Do you need 2.2 for the 3D buildings and compass to work? My legend's running Bell's stock 2.1 rom and doesn't seem to work.
[Legend General] federico72:
It's so hard for Google do a version of GMaps that work completely off-line with cached maps like Brut mod? Or better like iGO?

I'm in Brazil now and I haven't a data plan here, so for me GMaps is really useless.

I have iGO on my phone but, you know, have a map that rotate while you are walking is great for orientation...
[Legend General] kwlim.00:
Anyone of you experience this problem, sometimes when I click on the Layer button, then click on More Maps, then nothing comes out. I have to force close the application, then start again, then only it works.

Anyone else having this issue tissue?
[Nexus S General] BigRick10:
[*] shutdown the phone

[*]hold down volume up + power

[*]Now you are in the standard recovery mode

[*]assuming you have 2.3 SDK installed with fastboot (Google around for that info..), now on terminal/windows

or Windows cmd depending on OS type "fastboot devices" to check your device can be seem via USB

[*]assuming you device is seen via fastboot devices, now type "fastboot oem unlock"

[*]accept...and new bootloader is unlocked...

[*]now we need a custom recovery from clockworkmod or amon_ra, and we'll be good to go

Seems like a lot of people are having issues with the amd64 driver from the 2.3 SDK. Here's a workaround:

Go to the PdaNet homepage and download the Windows 7 x64 version of the PC software Download PdaNet

Make sure your phone is not connected to the computer. Install the app from PdaNet. Ignore the warning about HTC sync if you get it, that doesn't matter for what we're doing.

At the end of the PdaNet install, you'll be prompted to connect your phone. Make sure USB debugging is on, and connect to a high speed (as in not through a hub) USB port.

Follow the prompts and accept the unverified driver warning. Let it finish, then reboot your phone into fastboot mode -- power off, then hold volume UP and power.

Open the device manager in Windows (right click My Computer, properties, choose Device Manager from the list on the left.

Find the Android 1.0 entry, with the yellow exclamation mark beside it. Right click and choose to update the driver.

Select to search your computer for the driver manually, and point it at C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\. You will see a warning about an unknown/unsigned driver for sure this time, accept it.

When it finishes, at the command prompt (in the sdk\tools\ directory) type

fastboot devices

you should now see your Nexus S listed.

Any way to root without doing this?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
someone help please before i lose my mind...

Downloaded sdk 2.3 and usb drivers. Updated drivers works in windows fine but at boot-loader screen usb wont work and in device manager it shows android 1.0 driver needed

im lost drivers i downloaded threw SDK manager wont go im not sure if im supposed to force a driver?

im on win7x64
[Nexus S General] DOHCtor:
Can anyone confirm this? This would be freakin awesome!
[Nexus S General] Pierrot94200:
You just unlocked the bootloader, this didn't root the device. You need to get a custom recovery
[Nexus S General] crazifyngers:
if you are in fastboot mode right cick on android 1.0 and update manually choose the driver and select android bootloader interface. good luck
[Nexus S General] DOHCtor:
Technically, it's not rooted, but in essence, we all know that once the bootloader is unlocked, we can fastboot flash a custom recovery. And from there, we can flash custom roms or just the su and superuser.apk into the stock rom from recovery. So yea, it is kind of rooted.
[Nexus S General] Michael.B.:
I can confirm that fastboot oem lock does re-lock it.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
yea just found it thanks :)

[Nexus S General] Pierrot94200:
Unlocking the bootloader is indeed a nice step ahead, but it's not yet rooted :)
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
How do you do this? Even with updated drivers from Google it just says "no drivers found" when I specify the folder.

Just an FYI: Koush is working on ClockworkMod recovery as we speak.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Does anyone have "AdbWinApi.dll?" When I install the SDK it isn't there. I can't run fastboot without it.

I install su to /system/bin/su and Superuser.apk to /system/app

(If doing this note you will need to "mount -o remount -w /system /system" and need to "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su" and you can copy files from your usb storage using "cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su")

Then I rebooted to stock boot image and ran adb shell and ran su and was set, then I captured some images for you guys:

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. I followed all the steps but when I got into CMD and type "fastboot devices" I get the followin message:

AdbwinApi.dll is missing from your computer

Do anyone know how to get around this?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
in the latest SDK they changed the location of ADB to \platform-tools. you have to change the PATH enviroment variable to platform-tools folder and then restart your computer ;)
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
easier yet move the AdbwinApi.dll to your tools folder;)
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Ok this is killing me.

I'm quite sure I've installed the SDK and drivers correctly, because when the phone is on, I can plug the usb cable into my computer and it shows up when I type 'adb devices' while in the command prompt in the platform-tools folder. Now when I start the phone into Fastboot mode, and I open a command prompt from the android-sdk-windows/tools folder, 'fastboot devices' lists nothing, and 'fastboot oem unlock' just says "waiting for device". How come my computer can't see the phone when it's in fastboot mode but it does see for adb when the phone is on?

EDIT: Just figured it out. Had to install the PDAnet drivers WHILE the phone was in fastboot mode.
[Nexus S General] AndrewGoldy:
Excellent. I just hope that I don't mess up my new phone within a few hours of having it....
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
so adb is in the platform-tools folder, but fastboot is in tools?! I get a reading for my device when its normal, but when I boot into bootloader the device does not list (fastboot devices). So I have been unsuccessful.

edit: I moved fastboot to platform-tools, since adb is there. Now the command doesn't fail, which is good, it just hangs there.

edit #2: Finally worked. Why the hell is adb and fastboot in different folders? And why the hell do we have to use pdanet, of all apps? What's wrong with the drivers? What a nightmare. Success!
[Nexus S General] kyleds:
Mine still doesn't work. Got the driver updated while in fastboot mode. Put fastboot in p-tools folder. Tried to run advanced and the cmd window flashes for like a second and disappears.

[Nexus S General] umaronly:
Sorry guys

Its been about a week since I have been trying on google, unlockr as well as xda forums for unlocking bootloader for nexus S, and I STILL am stuck at my device not showing up when I type 'adb devices' even though I have tried SDK drivers, PDAnet drivers, etc...countless restarts, countless uninstalls, following each and every method to the letter. The closest I have come is to alekosy's issue above where daemon kills the process as he describes and then, nothing. I keep waiting. Every time once daemon starts, whenever I type adb devices, I only get this 'list of devices attached'...and nothing else. in device manager, device driver shows installed correctly...

I would be heavily indebted to anyone who could show me the light (get my device show up in adb devices and then allow me to root).

Thanks a bunch!

(Frustrated beyond belief!! :( )
[Nexus S General] atrevino19:
I'm still stuck on the "waiting for device" message. I have manually updated the drivers and have been following step by step the unlockr guide. The computer does recognize my phone as a Nexus S and when searching for adb devices will give me my phones serial number. The problem is when I reboot my phone to fastboot mode and try unlocking it. I type everything correctly but stays in this "waiting for device" message and my phone never gets prompt. Any help?? :confused:
[Nexus S General] Joey_UFC:
how can i get my computer to recognize my device?

i downloaded EVERYTHING from android sdk. which took hours btw

and i go into fastboot mode and go into my computers cmd and type Fastboot devices and it doesn't recognize it.

Yes my debugging is on as well..

i been trying for 3 days to find out why my phone wont get recognized
[Nexus S General] Joey_UFC:
i was looking over the android sdk how to guide and on step 13 it said

Plug the device into the computer via USB cable. The computer will attempt to install the drivers automatically.

I don't see anything happen when i plug in my phone. Nothing at all
[Nexus S General] window7:
I hope that I would able to help you :)

Try uninstall the Nexus S driver using PDAnet first, then reinstall the Nexus S driver by plugging in your Nexus S USB :)

Hi all...

Today i was going through one of the articles in xda to install froyo in samsung vibrant.. Then i bought the rom manager. I found, it automatically searches for the new rom. I downloaded the new kernel.. which supposed to be eugen's latest one.. but mistakenly it dowloaded the kernel for samsung galaxy s i9000 instead of samsung vibrant. Now my phone is useless.. It just shows android in the center after i boot up. I tried to recover the old one.. but i am unable to do that. I tried to mount the phone to computer.. but i didn't get success on that too... Is there any way to access the sd card now and install the vibrant version..

Please help me...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgibran:
...But not on the other ROMs, even with the same kernel (JL1)? I tried Sombionix's latest Nero and could only lock on 3 sats out of 4 with an accuracy of 32 meters in about 5 minutes(even after deleting GPS data, changing the SUPL and other stuff); I do a Nandroid restore back to Axura and presto! 9/11 satellites and 6-meter accuracy in about a minute.

Is there anything Master knows that the other devs do not? Am I doing something wrong? :confused:

-Flashed Axura

-Ran Samsung's GPS fix tool

-Changed the settings as suggested in the Vibrant Bible (SUPL, application, wipe, etc)

And now I get consistent locks in under 30 seconds. This is on the same level of a friend's Nexus, even indoors.
