[Nexus S General] uansari1:
I agree, some people ARE making excuses to justify their purchases... that's human nature. The same reason so many sheeple stick by their Apple products despite the abundance of information regarding its flaws. Anyway, while I have many complaints about what this phone's missing... HSPA+ is no longer one of them. Phonedog's dogfight between this and the MT4G was especially telling. Both phones got almost exactly the same download and upload speeds on T-mobile's HSPA+ network.

The lack of notification light, microSD, and the other stuff, however... is unforgivable.

I played with the NS at Best Buy for a while today and felt the same way.

My N1 doesn't have GG either... and it's perfectly scratch free as well.
[Nexus S General] innisdb:
we all saw those initial scratch tests on the nexus one when it came out and it doesnt have gorilla glass either. the screen on the nexus s feels amazingly smooth with the oleophobic coating on it! like someone said before, if u dont have it in ur pocket with other stuff it wont scratch. even gorilla glass will scratch if u have it with ur keys for months in ur pocket
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Gorilla Glass can scratch, but another "feature" of Gorilla is its less likely to crack if your phone falls.
[Nexus S General] Psosmith82:
Compared to my epic 4G, it the glass looks exactly the same, and has the same smooth feeling that gorilla glass has. It certainly seems like it IS gorilla glass, how much does one CS rep from samsung know? I bet the next CS you ask, will have a different answer.

Looks and feels like gorilla glass to me
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Remember on facebook an LG rep said the Optimus phone won't be getting gingerbread? Yeah, I'm just saying.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Are u high over there? How can nexus s and epic 4g screens feel the same if nexus has coating on it and epic does not. And its a fact that ns doesn't have gorilla glass, its not on the list of products on gorilla website.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Ay I dont want to bash but isnt the Nexus part of the Galaxy S line if Im not mistaken.....I dont car for gorilla glass but this argument can go both ways.

Even though its a Nexus I still feel its appropriate to call it a Galaxy S phone.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Doubt it because screens are different
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Well if they were able to pull off the dell venue pro with its curved screen they could have done the same with this one but I put screen protectors on my phones all the time groilla glass or not.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
I suppose someone can call sammy and ask or the Gorilla company....or just wait

I have screen protector on vibrant too. I hate fringer prints and glare, with protector both problems solved.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Haha, agreed.
[Nexus S General] Androidfreakz:
Well I scratched my screen right under the ear piece enough for me to feel it with my nails. Replaced with new NS with Zagg this time.
[Nexus S General] Psosmith82:
It also says on that same website not all products are listed due to agreements with the companys they work with.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Finally picked up my NS today... I'm pretty sure it's not gorilla glass as people have been saying.

Compared to the MT4G, it's the same type of glass. It has this "orange peel" type ripple effect if you angle it right under the lights, whereas my Vibrant was perfectly flat and smooth, like an iPhone's screen. The MT4G's screen seemed quite hardy so I suppose the NS should be ok as well. Still not sure if I'll go for a screen protector or not.
[Nexus S General] :
This is the first phone I will use a screen protector on due to its high value, but jeez guys, how hard is it to just designate a pocket for your phone, and never put anything else in it except for your phone? Then it will defo never get any key or coin scratches:)

JD
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Any screen protector brand to recommend? I've read hundreds of discussions on the forum, every screen protector has issues.

Zagg invisibleSHIELD: orange peel, hard to swype

Martin Fields: fingerprint nightmare, easy to scratch

Realook: rainbow effect, fingerprint prone

Bodyguardz, Steinheil etc. etc. etc.

every screen protector seems to have issues and it seems like we have two big categories:

1) scratch resistant, less fingerprint prone, but not very clear and smooth (e.g. Zagg)

2) very clear but fingerprint magnet (e.g. realook, martin fields)
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
I use Steinheil anti-glare, anti-fingerprint on my Galaxy. Very nice.
[Nexus S General] DebauchedSloth:
Would be nice, but I managed to scratch an iphone w/Gorilla Glass so a screen protector is going on in any case.
[Nexus S General] jankyboy:
I've always had good luck with PhantomSkinz screen protectors. I don't think they have one yet for the S.
[Nexus S General] zeamany:
Why you make thing this harder. I just bought a cheap one dollar screen protector from amazon for my captivate, and it works as charm. I don't see any of the problems you mentioned. Mine has no-name brand though.
[Nexus S General] clubtokyo:
My nexus s screen is significantly brighter than my epic 4g. So the screen has been improved, that’s a plus for the nexus s, and the micro SD is a lame reason not to like this phone, I am getting 23mbs per second read on internal sdcard, my class 10 SD does not come close. Also the notification light is a bummer, but really? The bestselling phone in America, does not have a notification light. (iPhone). I love the nexus s, screen is so vibrant and glass is smooth as silk! :) (btw I did the scratch test with my keys, all good)
[Nexus S General] deeren:
what do you mean you did the stratch test with your keys????????? other users are reporting that the oleophobic layer is wearing out with normal use and friction of the fingers....lol
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
i call BS on scratch test
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
I think the main purpose of Gorilla glass is NOT to crack when phone falls. I believe you CAN scratch Gorilla glass, just need a bit more force.

[HD Mini ROM Development] webhero2002:
First of all thanks for the Rom :)

I just got a little problem which might be solved very quickly ?

If call up "Office" i can click on "Install Communicator Mobile" and receive following message:

"Fehler beim Öffnen der Verknüpfung oder Bestimmen der Zieldatei"

How can that be fixed ?

PS: Spreche auch Deutsch, falls die Beschreibung auf Englisch nicht verständlich sein sollte ;-)
[HD Mini ROM Development] arni789:
thank you ;)

may be you can clean the startmenue for the next release with some folders
[HD Mini ROM Development] schlund:
@webhero2002:

This is true, i removed this (vodafone)package, but forgot to remove the link also.

If you think you really need that, i gonna fix it :)

"und ja wir können auch deutsch reden aber des wäre der nicht-deutschsprechenden community gegenüber nicht besonders fair :)"

@arni789:

Yes, if I will have to do some changes on this ROM I will get over it. But now, after christmas and new year celebration my first target is android !

Both of you: Thanks for feedback!
[HD Mini ROM Development] torso_s@yahoo.de:
hi there,

1st of all THX for your work.I like this ROM much!

is there any chance to solve that communicater link problem?The Sharepoint program isnt starting when pressed,too.

thx

torso
[HD Mini ROM Development] whiskydean:
Great ROM. Works faster than the last HTC 1.36 release + better battery life. I have it one week in use and did not find any problems. OK, this broken "Install Communicator Mobile" link... but I do not need it.

Thanks for your work !
[HD Mini ROM Development] thanet:
Do U have other language version?

I need to test it.

Thank U.....
[HD Mini ROM Development] schlund:
no, sorry :(
[HD Mini ROM Development] Cheque:
CHT = cookie home tab ?

is this implemented by default in stock-ROMs ? (I am using the latest vodafone branded ROM)

can please s.o. briefly explain the main difference of both versions?
[HD Mini ROM Development] JohnLaShot:
Hi schlund,

Thanx for your great ROM. I have tested the CHT version for a couple of days and I am very happy with it. It is extremly stable so far. Nothing to complain about. Excellent work. I reckon I am going to keep it running on my mini for a loooong time.

Regards,

[Vibrant General] shark1217:
I downloaded and installed the nero beta 3 and now I am trying to install nero v1 from rom manager. When I click to make a backup it restarts but puts me in the android boot loader. I do not have an option for backing up. I flashed clockwork twice but still no success.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Did u click reinstall packages or something
[Vibrant General] shark1217:
That is an option in the android boot loader but I did not click that.
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
I believe its the Rom manager that'd having problems. I reverted back to prior update of rom manager, and it worked. Dont update the latest one in the market. If u have auto, uncheck that, so it wouldn't update your rom manager.

Sent from the helm of darkness called, the "Vibrant Galaxy"... Using the XDA App!

Thanks but how do I use an older version? Is there a link?

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
To get into the clockwork after u flash it click reinstall packages and it should reboot and go back to stock mode and click reinstall again and it should come with green text and its clockwork.

If that doesn't work try another idea.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] ferchocol:
what's a nice rom with a 2.2, and that has the same browser as the mytouc slide?

thanks,
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] acejoker25000:
none because that is a 2.1 browser but its a sense browser so check out 3rd sense it has the sense browser so it should be similar enough. i dont use the stock browser so i really dont remember it that well so that may not be exactly what your looking for... worth a try though
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] ferchocol:
Thank you for replying...

Where do I get that one? Sorry to be a pain, but I want a 2:2 rom but I just don't like

The mobile view on my phone...

Thanks again...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] etu_aty:
I wouldnt go for that rom if the browser if what you want the most since it has some javascript issues and makes the browser crash when opening some pages, you can disable that in the browser settings but some peolpe are still getting the crash... if you want to try it anyways here is the link to the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=660
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
If you dont like the mobile view then why dont you just go into settings for your browser and turn off the mobile view.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] ferchocol:
thats what i do... but i want a 2.2 rom... because i have a lot of apps and dont have any space and i want to use the app2sd...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] acejoker25000:
you should use a2ext because there are problems with the 2.2 apps2sd. meaning no widgets can be moved because they dont show up, launchers cant be move because they dont show up most of the time, the entire app isnt moved to the sdcard only part of it so you still lose memory, dalvik-cache is still on internal which is almost hte same size as the app itself which takes up tons of memory... but still if 2.2 is a big issue then definitely go with cyanogen it seems to be the most stable and it does have a2ext support just not enabled. but that is easy enough to enable also partitioning your sdcard is easy enough as well so i would look into that
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] ferchocol:
thank... i dont really know how to do a app2ext... if u have a link so i can do that will be nice... i like the cm.... but the problem with that one is the browser... i know im picky like that... and thanks to all of u who replied to this thread...
[Nexus S General] GuestK00431:
Hey guys, ordered this in the UK but I'm hearing so many bad things about it.

No Gorilla glass

GPS problems

Feels cheap

Plastic

Crap camera

.....and so on!

£549 quid this cost me and feels like with all the comments it's only worth half that.

To those who own the handset, what's the build quality like and is it simply a good handset to justify the price?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
£549 is definitely far too much in my option. Simply because it's nearly £150 more than it's being sold for in the US.

My N1 set me back £412 after shipping and taxes.
[Nexus S General] GuestK00431:
Yeah I'm trying to stop myself from cancelling the phone and just picking up a Desire HD, seems like I get more for less money if you get me.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
I can really understand your point, but this is google's phone, it will be updated constantly and all problems rectified quickly, i think it was rushed out for christmas..... HTC phones or Samsung phones are also not without their problems, and i think we are looking at the negatives too much without enjoying the many positives.

549 IS a rip off, thats understood... But we have to understand that the 330 pounds plus VAT & Shipping from the US will add to the price. There is no doubt that this phone is the best Android phone to date, we just need to give Google time to iron out the errors.

GPS is working fine with 98 percent of devices, which sort of falls into line with what we see with other devices.

When you get your phone, enjoy your purchase, and then wait for the next nexus, which will probably be next xmas to upgrade again. I have told myself now that nexus phones are the only way to have a good google experience. HTC phones have major build quality and hardware flaws, and coupled with there inability to even put a decent screen on their flagship device should be seen as showing exactly what they think of their customers. LCD on the Desire HD = Joke. It looks like someone threw domestos bleach over the screen from an off straight viewing angle, lol

Enjoy your device man... Because there is nothing better atm;) Well at least untill the next Nexus drops;P

JD
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
I got mine in US. It is no Rip Off this is by far the best Android far i have used and i just came from a NexuS One. It is a good phone Im enjopying every moment of it. People just want too much. Even if it had all the stuff u mentioned people would STILL cry. You would'nt understand until you have it in your hands on it.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
The price in the US is $529 which is £340.78. How much is the VAT, 17.5%?

The correct price in the UK should be £400.42.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Add around 50 quid for each phone to ship and CPW's large cut,

the phone's fair price should be 499.99

But alas, we do not live in a fair world.

JD
[Nexus S General] GuestK00431:
Thanks for all the messages guys.

The price is rather shocking here in the UK 'like everything' so I'm kind of used to that. Sounds very cheaply built which I find very, very worrying for the price.
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
Well said...I also decided to get Nexus phones from now on too....
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
It does feel that way. But the perfomance is just out this world. It actually deosnt feel THAT cheap though
[Nexus S General] GuestK00431:
Cool, been having a dodgy hour or two thinking about the phone cause I'm snowed in off work. Hahaha

I'll wait and judge when it's in my hands but I appreciate all the good comments guys.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The Super AMOLED screen will awe and amaze you. Fricking gorgeous.

I've also got an iPhone 4, Nexus One, and even a Galaxy S i9000. The Galaxy S and Nexus S are by far my favorite screens. I've also compared them to Desire HD, Droid X and a few others. The MyTouch 4G is the only thing that comes close in my opinion, followed right behind by the iPhone 4, but the iPhone's 3.5" is just too small.

Also, this phone is fast! Screw benchmarks, they're not real-world "feel" of the phone. Out of the box, this NS is as fast as my "lag-fixed" modded overclocked Galaxy S, which has posted Quadrant scores of 2200+.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Shipping? From where? It's not made in the US. Shipping from Asia to the UK should be the same as shipping from Asia to the US.

CPW is the UK version of Best Buy. The $529 is including BB's cut, the £400 should be including CPW's cut.

The correct price should be £400. Personally I'd be willing to pay £450, or even £500 if I got it now, before the 20th.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Now this is a guy to listen to;) lollol

Experience aplenty;)

Im sure you will love your device, and the build quality does not look cheap at all to me?

The lightweight feel is how a phone should be, trust me, i have had a 180g desire z for the past two months and my hand really knows about it;)

JD
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Samsung has big factory's in the USA as well, and if its made in South Korea i bet 1000000's that the USA have big deals with them for tax free importing. I still maintain that 499 pounds is a fair price...

I would be buying mine from my pal ogdobber in the usa but i need to make a purchase in the uk and have an imei number on the reciept to fulfil my requirements for my free insurance with my bank.

Love this phone, and love google;)

JD
[Nexus S General] DooLocsta:
My NS is out for delivery now and I can't wait. I had to return the HD7 after 13 days becuase I could not stand the screen and talk about build quality, the battery cover didn't even line up so you could see the SIM card through the giant gap in the back.

JD
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
If you're unsure, and own an N1, wait till it gets it's 2.3 OTA update, then go and compare it like for like with an NS in your local CPW.

I plan on doing that even though I'm pretty certain I don't want to get an NS heh

So this is my second week or so playing with app dev. I have tried app inventor and a couple other programs to try and help me accomplish what I want to do. But, looks like Eclipse is my tool.

In Eclipse who would I like a button to another string xml file? Basically I created a button that needs to link to a new screen.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
It isn't very difficult, in my opinion. I have been repairing mobile devices for several years now.
