[Nexus S General] ballenone:
Went to best buy and got one myself they only had four and sales people didnt even know where they were lol then they found them and kept telling me they onlt had unlocked ones .finally when I said I know they said you are really going to pay full price told me total like 6 times lmao so funny but all in all Im happy just wonder if I should get rid of my new mytouch 4g
[Nexus S General] falconeight:
Im currently making love to my nexus s ill get back to you later.
[Nexus S General] mjazar12:
can some people begin to look for a vibrant hack cuz there are a lot of us that want att 3g. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Same thing for me. In Chicago_burbs, they were like what phone you looking for ? I said Nexus-S, they like uh...let me ask manager. Then said you have to pay full price and we won't set it up to work for you here. I said can I see it working or display, they said not, all in boxes in back.

Anyways went to the shopping mall, Best Buy Mobile had displays, and very helpful and drooling over the Nexus themselves :)

Your an ex EVO guy too now :) I ditched my EVO for two reasons. The battery life sucked balls, no matter what rooting and setCPU did. And the T-Mobile plan is way way cheaper than Sprint, I am saving almost $50 a month on the exact same full unlimited plan, but I did buy the Nexus-S full price. On Sprint the full package with unlimited minutes, unlimited data, unlimited texts, w/tax was like $130+. T-Mobile same deal, but with buying the phone outright is $79 per month + tax.
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
I broke down...had to have the new toy, anyway there is a 30 day return policy.

I went to one store that doesn't carry T-Mobile. I just missed the last one. The guy buying the last one was totally giving false information to the clerk and I cried fowl but they wouldn't let me buy it. I went to another store 10 miles away and guess who shows up???? The same guy from the other store trying to get another one! He was turned down because he had already bought 2 of them and was trying for a third. He had run out of aliases or the clerk finally called him on the name printed on his credit card. Have they ever heard of the Patriot Act? Anyway I got the last one, it is charging now.

got mine too

soooooooooo smooth and fast.

Got my Nexus S at 8:15 AM this morning in LA, CA. No contract, cost $581.66. It does look nicer and feel better in my hand than my Vibrant. The case cost $30 but I didn't like purple color so I din't take it. Everything is working good so far.

P.S.: It looks like it's a tiny bit smaller, but thicker than the Vibrant. The screen/display is great.
[Nexus S General] Ronaldo_9:
so is it just 1GB for apps?
[Nexus S General] jdm_cars:
picked up 2 of them one for me and one for the wife, got there around 7:15am wasn't as bad a wait as I thought.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
Picked up my Nexus S today, and to my surprise, they had pre-installed all Nexi-S's with a free zagg shield screen protector! Unfortunately, mines was kinda dirty and wasn't sticking right so they offered my either a free phone case or a car charger :D Left with the phone case and i'm happy. :cool:

Thats cool, really good service;)

Not gonna get that in carphone warehouse in the uk;)

can anybody tell me if the speaker is loud enough? would be great compared with something well known, like nexus one, xperia x10....
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I think its plenty loud
[Nexus S General] Straf:
thanks! anyway if somebody could compare it to nexus 1, x10... would be great. Right now i'm using an x10 and that's terrible... would love a new louder phone, specially since i tried nokia n8 for a few minutes.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
In the bestbuy I went to,no one knew anything,, they didn't know that they were selling n's. Let alone give us free cases :D
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Got mine today. What can I say but...

OMGWTFBBQILOVETHISPHONE :D

Seriously, the damn thing is perfect. I was all set, considering all of the bad things I heard about Samsung (I've never owned one of their phones until now) to take it out of the box and get a creaky, cheap feeling POS; but this phone feels nice and solid, with even weight distribution. The build quality, IMO is great, feeling even better than my Droid 1.

It's a snappy little thing too, and the screen is beautiful. And it only took a minute, but I'm already rooted.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my verdict is: If this thing ever made it to Verizon, I'd drop my Droid entirely in a heartbeat. It's a truly great phone. :)
[Nexus S General] Cheeze[iT]:
This was my first impression. Its not the latest in technology, but what device is. Every phone is going to be surpassed right around the corner. The thinness and lightness are a plus. 4" screen is nice. 3G is all I need as 4G to me just drains my battery. Over all the phone does it for me, but if I was expecting the latest and greatest, I could have gone with a different device.

Now all thats left for me to decide is battery life... hope it was as good as my vibrant.

I did notice that on mine as well, but I think it's in the design more than a defect? It's not a bother to me as its very hard to see.
[Nexus S General] drew_grant:
Got there at 7:45 and was the first person in line. Paid full retail and I'm coming from a Nexus One. So far I like it. The only pain was getting everything from my old phone to the new but overall, I'm glad I made the purchase. Apparently I was the first person in the area to get it; the manager took my picture haha.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Yes, mine does, and under certain light, looks like there's a crease going down the middle of the screen as well. Also, I have a strange watermark in the screen when viewing solid colored backrounds in the shape of a ring.

My store only had 4 nexus S. I was in line at 720 and I was number 4. In fact, they had some mess up, so I wasnt even going to get one. I was so angry... but they called me up, and the guy in front of me had Att and didn't know it didnt do Att 3G. So I got mine. Impressed other than the watermark. I have to get a replacement. No BB in my area even have any though. All have 4 only. Maybe the BB mobile nearby has more...
[Nexus S General] ballenone:
i was just at a bb mobile and people were snatching them up i was quite surprised at how many people were getting them ..i used to like the exclusivity of the nexus one cause you would not see it anywhere and now i'm sure we will be seeing a fair amount of them not a bad thing thought i guess..very different then last time around despite the supposed lack luster specs :D
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Atleast its not like an iPhone where EVERYONE had one
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I think it's a good thing to see a demand for the new Nexus, shows there are more cool nerds out there, than just the Apple sheep. I don't want every Milf next door to have one, but will be nice to see a stranger with one, you can give em a thumbs up :)

I heard that BB Mobile stores in the shopping malls got the majority of the phones, with nice displays, and the big box stores only got 4 ea.
[Nexus S General] ballenone:
very true love the fact that it has gotten some due attention ..and by had i sure hope people dropped some iphones like i did along time ago :D..

wait having a iphone is the in thing :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] ballenone:
no doubt im super happy it is getting the due attention it deserves but a hot milf next door with one would really be nice :D
[Nexus S General] Androidfreakz:
Got my phone at the mall, they had a good amount, there was 3 people ahead of me and more filing in

After having Numerous phones

2 Iphone 4

1 capivate

3 Evo's

2 google G2's

1 Mytouch 4G

1 Driod X

1 WP7

I have finally found what I've been looking for over the pass 5 months just sold the G2

a few hrs ago. Im very pleased at what the Nexus S offers me. Plain Jane Google No Sense crap/touchWiz/Blur/Tmobile Sense and so on. I never had issues with 16gb of storage, download speed is around 4.2mb in the house. Could of had a better camera but I can manage. The phone is Fast,Sleak and Sexy.

I had to add a line to my tmobile account just to get the phone, for some odd reason it would not ring up at 249.99 only 199.99 even though the other person that was buying one ringed up as 249.99 bestbuy let me have it at the 199.99.. Going to cancel the 2nd line and give tmobile 200.00 and be done with it. Its not perfect but I still love the hell out of it more than any other phone I've own'ed. And what can I say about Instant updates we all love them lol.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I just discovered this. I called 5 BB big box stores and 4 of them didn't get a single NS in today, the other 1 sold out the little that they had. Called a BBmobile in the mall and they had 20, go figure.

[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Wow, I thought I was the phone whore :) Were all those phones for you, or entire family ? Having the Blackberry 9700, Nexus-One, and EVO already this year, and now the Nexus-S :) I like the N-S the best for sure.

But have never owned a iPhone4, I heard if jailbreaked with custom themes and apps, they are pretty bad ass, true or no ?

100+ shipping = 700ish?
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
For whatever reason, the manager at a Best Buy in Manhattan (NY) said to order a Nexus S, the prices comes out to $544 after taxes, free overnight shipping. I asked him again to make sure I heard right, and he said $544. I'm not sure if he's misinformed, but he seemed to be confident about that price.

Did anyone else get it for that price?
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
Mine came up to 560 in store
[Nexus S General] AdamHart612:
Mine came out to $561.80. Gotta love sales tax.
[Nexus S General] lethalp1mp:
Same here in SE MN.

I love the weight distribution on this phone. My N1 was top heavy, always felt like it was going to tip out of my hand. It is definitely an upgrade, even from an Nexus One. It's pretty quick.
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
Online taxes might be different, but sales tax in New York City is 8.879% I believe. So it should actually cost more.
[Nexus S General] samven582:
If you live in NY its going to $575.70. I know because I live out in Suffolk.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Thanks guys. I'm going to investigate again after work. The simplest explanation is that the manager didn't know what he was talking about. Either that, or I can potentially save $33 dollars. However, I am still on the fence about this phone.

Edit: yup for whatever reason it's $544 after taxes for preordering it to do an instore pickup. spoke with the manager. not sure why. manager didn't know either.

Nexus S keyboard defect

Has anyone else noticed; when you turn the phone side ways to use the longer keyboard, the bottom row which also includes the space-bar does not respond until you are almost touching the 2nd row keys above?

...this is very distressing and is very inconvenient during typing. I am considering exchanging mine if this is a problem only in mine. I went back to BB and tried one of their floor models which exhibited the same problem. Even the associate acknowledged that I should return it and this definitely appeared to be a serious design flaw.

I will eagerly await anyone's feedback on this defect.

Thanks in advance!

If you're getting slow speedtest results with your G1 sim or prior sim in the NS or are having slow speeds on your NS. Give Tmobile a call to verify that you're on the 4g Android data plan. They can verify and you'll get a text stating they've made the change to your account if they need to make a correction. Hoping for better speeds can't get anything higher than 1228 kb/s and 365 kb/s
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Being on 4G wont help much on a phone that doesn't support 4G, surely?
[Nexus S General] STHNS:
LOL only if they knew LOL now that made me laugh IRL. Also ATM TMoUS does not have HSPA+ and HSDPA plans its all same Android Dataplan's as the speed is limited by the hardware and account provision along with many other local factors. Its not like VZ/Sprint the 4G plan as you pay extra then again TMo don't wanna piss off anyone as they kept their mouth shut while VZ/Sprint ran with 4G it wasn't until ITU declare HSPA+ legally 4G lol and overnight TMo became the largest 4G provider in USA ROFL talk about sticking it to the common folks.
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
I too just go the nexus see. Bought it 3 days ago. I have to say it is by far the best investment in have ever made. I left sprint, where I had the epic, and everything is perfect. I have amazing speeds, I get about 3 megs average one download where on sprint I got 500 kb. The phone itself is beyond beautiful and the speed is the best ever. I am very happy and am glad to be joining the development, most likely as someone who just views rather posts because I don't know much in the way of development.

How is it different than 2.2.6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
It's been updated for those on Android 2.1 still.

If you're on 2.2.6 already and it's working fine, I suggest don't try installing this. Gave me some errors and took me a short while to figure out how to get my 2.2.6 working without the FC's going on again.

For those experiencing FC's and such:

1) Uninstall all market versions from your phone.

2) Reboot (not hot boot or shell reboot)

3) Install Market version 1.82 (APK HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?51htm8lag77552b)

4) Reboot into recovery and flash Market 2.2.6 (update zip file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p5sa881tg6dv5ya)

Everything should be ok from that point onwards again. :)

It seems to me that there are some core libs that the 2.2.6 version requires, which apparently come form the 1.82 versions.

Enjoy. =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
This version requires a library called com.android.datamessaging, which is probably specific to the rom this was pushed to. 2.2.6 does not carry this requirement.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
I'm on my third MT4G because of squeaky/noisy buttons. The biggest reason why this happens is this:

1) the buttons are cheap plastic

2) the sides of the button rub on the phone's bezel, thus creating the squeaking sounds

3) the home/back buttons are in fact one solid piece (stupid design)

I'm thinking about putting some type of lubricant in my phone (per a suggestion over in the T-Mobile forums), as I highly doubt T-Mobile would provide a fourth phone to me. This squeaking sound really is annoying, and should not be present on such a high-end phone such as this one.

Has anyone taken their phone apart in an attempt of making the creaking sounds go away? Has anyone applied lubricant to the buttons to stop the squeaking?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onefast:
lubricant?

you could try some sort of graphite lubricant... it's not really a liquid, just a powder and shouldn't propagate through the phone. i think "dri-slide" still makes it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
The whole bottom of my phone squicks and creaks but I don't think I want to put any lubricant in my phone. I'll just wait a little and exchange it if anything. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought I would when I found out about it.

This is probably the only real design flaw with this phone.

Still better than non-responsive capacitative touch buttons, but def annoying.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
I also forgot to mention how loud my home button makes this clicking sound when I press it (along with the squeaking sound). It really is f'n annoying. Could any of these lubricants help simmer that down a bit? If I had known these buttons would end up being so damn loud, I would have second-guessed buying it.

Hello All! I see all the Australian versions on Ebay you can buy, but I am wondering if anyone knows if any of these three links will work. Each one says it is the T9193 model, and each shows HSDPA frequency at 850, but they are titled Tmobile. But also, looking at the Tmobile phones on the US Ebay, many say it supports the 850mhz HSDPA band, so assuming ATT has the 850 band in your area, why would these not work?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stoolzo:
EDIT: this has been changed to try to clear up some confusion. A few people are looking for the following WINMO/ANDROID combination:

- Power Phone on, phone boots WINMO and then automatically boots Android without any user interaction at all.

- Ideally all WINMO boot screens will be removed from boot, if something needs to be in there use an Android or HTC boot screen.

- This could be done by adding CLRCAD.exe and HARET.exe to the WINMO boot sequence in the registry / batch file perhaps.

- Totally strip down the WINMO rom so it simply acts as a software facilitator to load android, very little has to actually work. Programs, ring tones, etc etc could be removed enabling the Phone to boot WINMO in less than a minute before HARET is called.

- Boot sequence calls to ANDROID build should be standardised so the ANDROID rom can be changed at will by simply copying a new Android folder to the SD renaming the old one. (as most currently are)

This would serve as a good intermediate option between (1) running Android on NAND scrapping WINMO altogether vs (2) Running WINMO on NAND / running Android on SD. The phone would feel more like an Android unit, boot quicker but also allow easy upgrade options for Android whilst allowing an easy fall back to WINMO if required.

Please DO NOT comment on whether or not you feel this is necessary, enough people already do feel this would be a useful option, if you know of a ROM which already has this facility then DO NOT comment without posting a link to it.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tongslee:
If I am not mistaken, you will have to boot into WinMo if not booting from NAND. The device boot into WinMo by default.

If you want fast boot time than you should try one of the following

darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870518

MDJ FroYo Streak Lite v. 0.4 RAM Edition http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871804

Darkstone figured out a way to load android system into RAM which is way faster than SD or NAND.

So you can find a strip down WinMo ROM with a boot loader and run one of the RAM build. There has been reports of boot time of 2 minutes or less.
