[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
You must use your phone extremely lightly. And I dont know how Engadget got 20 hours. Battery life for me is barely better thsn my vibrant, about 4 hours of total screen time.
[Nexus S General] :
That's very selfish of you. Why do you not support 1900 band?

What can I do for you so that you may support 1900 band?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'd hoped that the Nexus S would support both AWS and 1900 for 3G data on T-Mo or AT&T, since the Vibrant does.

I'm really baffled why Samsung/Google chose to take this step backwards. Must have been some kind of restriction placed on the phone by T-Mo as part of the agreement to subsidize it. Very disappointing, but it didn't keep me from getting one to replace my N1.

To the original poster, you might be better off returning the NS and getting a Vibrant; very little difference in the two phones, and Gingerbread's likely to be ported over sooner than later. At least you'll have dual 3G bands.
[Nexus S General] :
Google has to do massive cost cutting to get the phone at $529 for retail pricing.

That's why this phone is gimped in all areas.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The only flaw with that theory is that the Vibrant retails for $499 off-contract; at least that's what my friend paid for his at a T-Mo store a couple of months ago. He's using it on AT&T (we did the insanely simple software unlock on it).
[Nexus S General] :
Scale of production between the NS and the Vibrant is the size of the grand canyon, not to mention the added middle man(Google) in the equation.
[Nexus S General] Androidfreakz:
Just get a Vibrant. In my opinion ur own exspectation killed it. I'm already a T-Mobile customer I can't stand the data cap on at&t this month I'm at 3800gb 2 days left in my billing cycle and 1500min unlimited text/web $79.99. NS is perfect for me.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Yeah, I thought that 20hr figure was really suspect too.

I did say I was using the phone in what I thought was lightly and unfortunately my usual way of testing battery life won't work with this phone.

On the G2 and MT4G, to test just the battery, you could charge the phone to 100% then boot it into bootloader mode. Nothing of the power saving functions of the OS operate in this form and the screen is always on at 100% brightness. Samsung's bootloader is black and we all know how much SAMOLED loves it some black. :)

I'm on vacation for the next week so I won't really be able to put it to "heavy" use. I do have to say I'm really surprised at your 4hr mark. I wonder if maybe you have a bad battery?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Google is not in the equation; they don't take licensing or royalty fees. It's open source and a loss leader for them to push Android devices further along in development so they can make more money on the advertising.

I doubt any of us have any real idea what the actual difference in scale of production is between the NS and the Vibrant, unless you have some verifiable figures, it's just speculation. Kind of meaningless speculation on both our parts at this point.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'm not sure if it's hardware changes, or Gingerbread software changes, but I also found the NS to have extremely good battery life yesterday while I was out and about with it. Pretty heavy use, lots of screen on time, messages, emails, pictures taken. I used 70% of the juice in 13 hours. I also have a Galaxy S i9000 on AT&T which has been my primary phone for months. The same kind of usage would have killed the battery in 6-8 hours or so, I believe.

It might just be new battery vs. old, or T-Mo coverage vs AT&T, but there's definitely a noticeable improvement for me.
[Nexus S General] :
Google is not in the equation for the Google Nexus S ?

Come on dude, samsung was commissioned to produce the hardware, and Google outsourced the selling to best buy. Google is getting a profit from every Nexus S, just like they did for the Nexus 1. The difference being the selling portion, which they tried to do in house.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
If you say so. I'm not convinced Google is in the hardware business, especially after the debacle that the N1 is sales model. The model you describe implies that Google buys the phones from Samsung, then sells them via Best Buy and takes some profit on the hardware in the process. Maybe, but I'd like to see some verification of that before accepting it as fact. BTW, where is T-Mobile in all this (with and without the subsidized sales), or are they just out of the loop?

Your model also relies on the assumptoin that the NS is made with cheaper parts in some kind of cost-cutting scheme to increase profits. I just don't see that. The hardware is priced comparably to every other Galaxy S type phone on the market, and shares most of the same components or comparable ones.

Some of the decisions (like my concern of why not support 850/1900 on the 3G side along with AWS) seem bizarre, but that kind of decision seems more political/carrier driven than some attempt by Google to save a few pennies on a device you're claiming is of grand-canyon-scale-smaller production than other Galaxy S phones.

If you have links or sources other than forum rumors and chats that support your assertions, I'm happy to read them and concede the point to you. It's really not that important to me, and like I said in my last post, this is just speculation on both of our parts until someone posts facts from Google direct. ;)
[Nexus S General] :
Google: I need some phones who makes phones?

Samsung: We do, we have X, Y, Z models, what chu need, what chu want?

Google: Hmm....what can we get for $XXX.xx?

Samsung: Model Z

Google: Throw an NFC chip in there and we're set

Samsung: Uh....not for that price d00ds

Google teamed up with Best Buy/Phone Warehouse because they are already set up to distribute and organize contracts with service providers in local territories(all of this has been when they introduced the S).

As far at T-Mobile goes, they really have nothing to do with the actual hardware. The reason you'll find a t-mobile sim card is due to the agreements between Best Buy / T-mobile for service.

They've said all this throughout the whole N1 debacle, as well as the introdcution of the NS.

They were overwhelmed by trying to both sell the hardware and getting carriers set up with their clients.

I think Andy Rubin touched on it during the D: Into Mobile interview, as well as Eric Smchidt in the web 2.0 summit.

It's the same way you'll find samsung components in the iphone, and how nearly all phones have broadband chips in them. If you have the dough you can commission Samsung to put together a Nexus Loop if you want. =D
[Nexus S General] tks989:
i hope ATT doesn't get one, screw them
[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
Samsung may make the hardware, but it's badged as the "Google Nexus S." No one calls the iPhone a "Foxconn iPhone 4."
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
i9010 is the "Giorgio Armani" Galaxy S
[Nexus S General] brocabortzfield:
hero.

10char.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
LOL.

Actually, there's already been a Nexus Loop device, but it was discontined!

Seriously, I took the speaker/headphone-jack assembly from a T-Mo Vibrant and replaced the speaker/headphone-jack assembly in my i9000 Galaxy S. That makes it a Nexus Loop, right?

The i9000 comes with reversed mic/ground poles, which makes it incompatible with iPhone style headsets (like my Bose and Etymotics). That fixed that problem, but the proximity sensor (which is part of that assembly for some bizarre reason) stopped working, so I had to put back the original unit. I tried Vibrant drivers, but still didn't work. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, or a compatibility issue, but I think it's most likely a defective replacement part (I got the assembly from some third party company in Texas). They don't take returns, and I wasn't willing to drop another $20 on another one to see.

Sorry for kind of drifting off topic there.
[Nexus S General] neu242:
Weird. Google's tech specs definitely states that 1900 is supported:

Connectivity

* Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

* Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700

* HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
GSM = Edge (so yes it gets Att edge network fine)

HSPA = 3g (so no it doesn't get Att 3g)

Hi, I'm looking for orginal Polish rom for my neo s200, do you know where I can find it?

Regards
[neoTouch S200 General] Podhaj:
Hi kiosho

I think there is no polish rom for us ;] And it will never come out.

Of course until it will come to our country and will be sold by operator than they will translate it to our language. Or you can translate it on your own.

But for me thats not a problem becouse im using ANG version ;]

[Android Software Development] ovisis:
Works like a charm on my N1. One question though, the Gingerbread keyboard option sometimes gets unticked in the keyboard settings, a few times through general use and always on reboot (or if I turn it off for a flight and then turn it on).

Is there anyway to make it the default option instead of the Android keyboard?

(and before you ask, I have installed it to internal memory instead of the sd card).

Thanks,

Thanks, but I missed the dutch keyboard. More people were asking for it, but nobody fixed it (I think)

So i've put in the dutch dictionary in the ruKeyboard_2.0_r21_full.apk\res\raw folder as main.dict

So for dutch users looking for a working keyboard, see attachment.

Would be great if you could add this raw-nl file to the official version, because now multi language (by swiping space) doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get it to work properly.

Hmmm, installed it on my rooted Desire with Cyanogenmod 7 (of April 25th). I can choose Android Keyboard and choose the languages I want, but if I want to compose a message it shows my 'old' keyboard. Thought I had to reboot the Desire first, so did that, but result is still the same. What am I overlooking?

A bit later. If I disable all other languages (eg. English/German) it's working and I have the Dutch dictionary.
