[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eastwood1:
Hey folks.Im trying to root my buddys evo and want to make sure i have everything in order before i go forward..

hboot is version 0.97

software 3.29.651.5

so im hoping i can just use the unrevoked forever to root his phone.Is this correct?It says i need a custom recovery how do i make a custom recovery so i can use the unrevoked forever?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Unrevoked Forever does not root, unrevoked3 does.

Since his HBOOT is 0.97, then yes you can use unrevoked3 to root.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eastwood1:
Ok..thanks for the help.I installed unrevoked3 and it finished.I have the superuser icon also.BUT if i open hboot it still says s-on? Im confused about that.It looks like i got root but why is it saying S-on in hboot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eastwood1:
If anyone else has this same problem,here is what i did to get s-off.

After you use the unrevoked3 you now have ClockworkMod Recovery.Go download the Unrevoked Forever and put it on the root of you sd card.Now restart your phone in Hboot and go to recovery.When your in ClockworkMod Recovery you will see install zip from sd card,click.Find the Unrevoked Forever you just put on your sd card and run it.After it is finished you should now have S-Off .

Wooot!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
I have long since had a problem with converting videos for playbakc on my HD2 running Froyo. I have read numerous guides, tried every codec on the planet, and have used 8+ video conversion utilities, yet every single time my HD2 just says it cant play back the files. It plays the Transformers movies just fine, and any videos recorded with the video camera too. But if I try to rip a dvd or something, it just wont play back.

Can anyone offer any help here? What is likely the underlying problem? Is a codec thing? Are all these conversion utilities slipping in their random codecs chosen by the dev's and none of them are compatible with the EVO video player?

Very frustrating. I have gone through about 60 gigs in failed conversion attempts. And probably running the life of my SD card in the process.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Download Rockplayer from here...

http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/index_en.html

Go for the ARM7 link on the right. It's probably the best player out there for HD2s running Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
I dont like rockplayer because they put their logo on every video which is annoying. But I tried it anyway and it didnt work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Finally found an app to encode to HD2 format. Xmedia Recode has a template built specifically for the HD2. But make sure to retweak the encoding parameters, as they are set too low. Namely use H.264 compression, and increase the bitrate to 1500. Should produce a nice 1:1 conversion of whatever you are attempting to convert.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Dude you have no need to set the bitrate that high for a device with small screen, hell a standard 700MB DVDRip isnt even that high a bitrate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
I tried several bitrates in between, and with each gradual increase there was less and less artifacting on the screen. It was especially noticeable during fast scenes with lots of movement.

Hey guys,

Anyone here seen this error when trying to update anything in EPST?

IF I do

##MSL#

Edit the MSID and MDN feild with my phone number to activate my phone, I get the following error.

"Sending LPM Command failed. Press OK to reset the device"

Phone reboots, but the MDN and MSID fields do not update :(

phone has stock sprint 6.5, both SIM and HardSPL unlocked.

Problem began when I did ##776# to restore the phone to factory defaults. Was having data problem.

Looking for a way to activate the phone, was working just fine until this morning

So, now that I have sold my Nexus One and am looking to moving on, I need to find a new phone. But, there are so many choices out there and i'm stuck on the 10 above. Which one would you choose if you were in my situation below...

• I have AT&T but, no data plan since WiFi is everywhere.

• I like more squared off looking phones with the Captivate having the best design IMO..

• Manufacturer isn't important

• Front facing camera IS important

• Future updates from Google for Android phones are important but not a deal breaker

• Keyboards don't matter and aren't really desired since I never use them

• Prefer slim devices

• LOVE cases so current/ future amount of cases from places (Otterbox, Case-Mate, Incipio, Speck, etc) are important and a deal breaker!

• Price isn't important
[Nexus One General] monoblur:
Of course nexus s
[Nexus One General] calin75:
Captivate or a Galaxy tab if you don't mind a seven incher.

Edit: the tab has a front facing camera.

I ended up trading my nexus one for an iphone 4 32gb model. I like it but I currently cant use it since its not unlocked. Jailbreaking it for the awhile and using a spare phone. I like the feel of it but I miss my nexus on already, seemed snappier and more responsive, and use to having the info bar slide down. May just trade the iphone for an ipad 32 gb or something. Lot of people are craigslist wanting them, so Ill see, kinda tempted to trade for a nexus s.
[Nexus One General] mjm128:
How about waiting for dual core smartphones? Their just around the corner after all. The one from LG that should be released soon is what I'd go for.
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
In my honest opinion, I think waiting for the second breed of dual core phones would be smart.

OP, I chose the Nexus S, but it is a little messed up of Samsung to deliberately remove the hardware required for 720p functionality.

I might look into this. I am in us on att network. This is very interesting news.
[Nexus S General] PrisonerOfDoom:
I noticed that after unplugging my phone when it said it was fully charged the battery immediatley dropped to 97%. I found a thread in the Vibrant forum with people talking about their Vibrants doing the exact same thing. No one seemed to know what was causing it. Is anyone else seeing this with their phone? Should I be concerned?
[Nexus S General] ram130:
it's normal on a Samsung phone. There is no fix. Sorry for the bad news.

*previous Vibrant owner*
[Nexus S General] PrisonerOfDoom:
Thanks for the reply. It doesn't bother me as long as it's normal, just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong.
[Nexus S General] ram130:
Yep. From my experience I've discovered the following:

1. Keep it on charger for a extra 1 or 2 hour.

2. Charge it while off.

And you won't see that drop again. If you do one of those things.
[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
It's normal on every mobile phone.

Here's an explanation.
[Nexus S General] ZachLL88:
Read this article, and it will help you understand why.

Dont know why someone would blame samsung....

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/
[Nexus S General] SamsungVibrant:
Bump Charge

It is normal, it was designed to do that to prevent your battery from burning out sooner thus giving you shorter battery life in the long run.

If you want to truly charge to 100 percent, you bump it. Meaning when it says fully charged(its lying to you), pull out the usb charger, then plug it back in. When it says 100 percent again, pull out the charger, put it right back in, let it charge a few mins more. Keep doing this till you get bored. Doing this bumping technique will truly charge it to 100 percent, and it won't fall so quickly, but it burns your battery supposedly in the long run.

There was an article about it. Google bump charging battery, or something like that.

edit:

lol nevermind I see the people above posted the links.
[Nexus S General] swetland:
Yup -- once the battery reaches full capacity the charger stops (to avoid undue wear on the battery). The battery will discharge down to ~90% before the charger kicks in again.

On Nexus One we were able to run off of wall power once the battery was charged, significantly reducing the speed at which the battery discharged once full, and improving the chances of it being 99-100% when you took it off the charger. Nexus S has a different charge circuit configuration which does not allow it to operate in this mode.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
If it's a Samsung phone, it's the norm to blame Samsung. Not Google and Samsung, just Samsung. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.
[Nexus S General] tenbeau:
I have found the same result on my Vibrant. Also my Nexus S is doing the same thiing.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
As always, we greatly appreciate you posting here and giving us almost an inside look at things.

care to elaborate whats funky?
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
I hate that new Thanks button. I always accidentally click it when trying to quote.

That said, see the top part of the screen. It shouldn't be like that... should it?! My Vibrant wasn't like that.

battery wont charge to 100%

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem charging their Nexus S to 100%. I have recalibrated it by draining it then charging it while its off for about 8 hours.

Ever since I first got it would only go to 97%. I also tried to delete the batterystats.bin file and that's not working either.

If I bring it back to Best Buy should I relock the bootloader and get a new one or will they replace just the battery for me?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] Drotheman:
I'm having this issue as well and am wondering whether or not this a prevalent or not.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
already been a thread about this, all phones do it. the N1 did it, except on the n1 it went from 100-90% in a few minutes

dont worry about it, all GS phones do it

Homes Screen Lag

Sometimes, switching between home screens will slow down a LOT, and sometimes it feels as if it is almost frozen.

I thought it might be a memory issue, but even when I used Advanced Task Killer to kill everything, the lag still remains. What could be the issue? Any solutions?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You're using the stock launcher?

Do you have a lot of active widgets installed?
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Stock launcher, and 3 widgets running.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
There shouldn't be any lag with that setup. I find the stock launcher is about as fast as LP on my N1. I still switched over to LP on the NS.
[Nexus S General] graemegb:
do you have a live wallpaper?
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Nope. Eventually it just freezes, and I restart. It happens like twice a day.

Don't mind as much since the boot up time is quick, but still, it shouldn't be doing this.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Charging jumped from 21% to 60% on reboot.

Basically it's all in the title, but I was charging my phone for about thirty minutes, and then I did a reboot. When I did the reboot the battery charge was at 21%. After the reboot the battery jumped up to 60%. I don't know how haha, why don't you try it for yourself and give some feed back...

battery history not resetting?

When does your graph at the top of battery use reset? Mine says 5h on battery BUT it has been charged in between?
[Nexus S General] knytphal:
It says 5h on battery because it's been off the charger for 5 hours.

Or are you wanting to see a running total of all battery time?
[Nexus S General] mmas0n:
Seems to me that it resets when the phone us fully charged. Even though I charge my phone here and there throughout the day, it always displays the time since I took it off the charger that morning (the last time it was fully charged)

Took a bit to realize what it was doing, but I kind of prefer this to resetting the stats every time the phone even touches a charger.
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
No... If you look at original quote, it was intermittently on the charger in those 5 hrs.

+1 - this makes sense
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
I think this happened to me.

I just got my phone last night. I charge it fully, and then throughout the night I played around with it. I didn't re-charge it over night, cause I wanted to run it down first. Today, while at work, I got it to 4% and then started to charge it.

I rebooted for something, and then noticed my phone had made a significant jump up in charge %.

Right now I am waiting for fully charged, when will use it till around 5% and see how it goes from there.
[Nexus S General] jspookss:
that happened to me today at work. It was at 5% then i plugged it in for what had to have been all of 5 mins and restarted it and BAM 23%.. I was like WTF? Fast charge?
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Yes, I fail to believe that this is an indicator of a faulty battery. As the days pass, my battery keeps getting better and better.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
rebooted my phone twice to see if that would trigger me to get the OTA and I noticed... before first reboots... battery was at 38% then after first reboot... went down to 13% used it for a while and dropped to 12% then rebooted again... and went up to 19%

bad battery you think?
[Nexus S General] stephenj37826:
Its android "LEARNING YOUR BATTERY"
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i think all these battery percentage issues are software issues to be honest,
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
ok thanks, that's kind of makes sense... as my phone took a damn long time to charge from 99% to 100% last night... :p

I hope so... don't want to return this beauty of a beast. Just got it upgraded yesterday

Fair enough. Like someone else mentioned, it might also be Android learning your battery. This is more likely given your battery life is still good. :)

What's up with my battery!!? Getting random %'s

So today I got to work with 80%. 5 hours later I'm at 20%. I plug it into my charger after power down and it jumps up to 50%. What the heck? Do I have to reset the battery memory or something?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
This is normal, dont worry about it
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
What's crazy is the first week I had it. Everything was smooth. I can go from a fresh charger from noon until 730pm and my battery will be at low 90's high 80's. Now it's just random!
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
search the other threads in here regarding battery issues
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
I'm pretty sure it has to do with charging it while switching states of the phone (rebooting, turning off, ect)... that's when it seems to make those random changes.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
I turned my phone off and left it charging and showed completed. Took out the charger and back in... pretty completed in a minute then booted without charger plugged in... It's now showing 95% so I just plugged it back in and typed this message.

Nexus s screen scrolloing unresponsive

I don't know if you guys have issues with this, but sometimes my nexus s main screen locks up and I can't scroll left or right. However, I am able to launch appz and system functions like notification etc. The main screen just unable to scroll and I am forced to shutdown. Any ideas why? I have 2.3.1
[Nexus S General] carlitos66:
having the same problem sometimes. No scrolling to left or right. Also 2.3.1
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Has happened to me once, while charging. I think it may be an issue with the launcher. You can scroll through the screens still by tapping the little dots next to dialer and browser. The touch screen is still registering. I've even had the home screen get stuck between home screens i.e. shows left half of center home, and right half of the home screen immediately left of the center home. Eventually the launcher becomes unresponsive and FC. It was very odd.
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:

[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Well this is an important issue we must address. We must verify it with the community and submit a ticket to Samsung or Google. Not sure if it is hardware or gingerbread
[Nexus S General] jspookss:
Happened to me twice, but I could still touch the dots and scroll.. even though it was very slow to respond.

It eventually FC'd and restarted just fine, but it was annoying.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I've experienced unresponsive icons/widgets until I scroll again. Anyone else?
[Nexus S General] Fuse8499:
I have been having issues with the screen as well. Not registering my touch. Sometimes I'll have to tap an icon twice to get it to run. Or when I try to scroll, it won't respond. I'm really hoping this is a Gingerbread issue.
[Nexus S General] mancur:
Question: Are those experiencing lack of touch response also running NoLED?

I had a tremendous lack of touch response, mostly seen in the 3D app drawer after installing NoLED.

I've since unchecked the "Disable touch screen" option under NoLED->Miscellaneous and have had much, much better touch response since.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Is everyone that's having this problem using the stock launcher? I've never experienced anything like this but I'm using Launcher Pro...
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
This has happened me several times in the few days I've had the Nexus S. As mentioned above, the navigating left/right pips work, the expose navigation works but swipe left right doesn't work or sometimes works very very slowly. A phone restart cures the problem for a while.
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
I run into this issue in 2.3 and 2.3.1. Stock launcher no NoLED installed

[Nexus S General] KidCold:
Happened to me earlier today as well. On stock launcher on 2.3.1
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Well, my first experience with the home screen locking up and being unresponsive to scrolling. Like others said, some things can still be pressed (like I can still pull down the notification menu and enter the app drawer) but just won't scroll through screen, or scrolls with intense lag.

I've also experienced where it only scrolls to half of the next screen, and freezes a bit.

I've said it in other threads with other issues: Gingerbread is chalk full of glitches. More fodder for what I believe is a rushed phone and software update.
[Nexus S General] sd00:
Ditto mate.

2nd time in 2 days of owning this phone.

Not happy.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Do you have noLED installed? It could just be merely coincidental, but I experienced the home screen lag/scrolling issues only after installing and running noLED (I've had my phone for about four days before installing noLED and had no screen/scrolling issues). I've since uninstalled it entirely and will see if the problem occurs again. If not, noLED could be the culprit. I believe others have reported that noLED causes screen issues for them too.
[Nexus S General] nyijedi:
I've experienced these problems and have never had noled installed.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Anybody also experiencing difficulty in moving app icons on their home screen? It'll "snap back" into place no matter how you try to move it, and sometimes, it'll just flat out disappear from the home screen altogether, without having gone anywhere near the trash can.

I filed a report to Google. Please visit the link and star if you're also experiencing this issue. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13434

Has anyone filed a report about the scrolling issue? If so, I'd be happy to star it if they provide the link.
[Nexus S General] sd00:
Nope. Not installed. Never installed.

Bloody annoying, can't remember being hacked off like this with my nexus one ever!

I have had the issue since 2am (it's now 9am) it would seem a reboot is the only cure (I don't have a task manager installed to kill launcher2)

I'm tempted to take it back before it's too late.
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Need to post a ticket on the unresponsiveness of the touchscreen anyone have the proper way to report issues specifically for nexus s?
[Nexus S General] sd00:
OK so without installing a task manager, from the home screen - manage applications, I located launcher and force stopped it. After pressing the home button to re-load launcher it is back to normal.

Essentially it would appear to be a s/w issue with gb launcher.

While I am aware of alternative launchers (and used most of them) I prefer to use stock - it should work!
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Using launcher pro and seems to be issue with the default launcher
