good public service that engadget made....

It's disgraceful that these teleco's want to profit from specific content for being the delivery mechanism.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I saw this link in the comments of the engadget article and I immediately wrote an email voicing my disappointment.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
It goes beyond that, to me at least. They won't just charge for specific content, they'll charge more for content in demand. Lots of Facebook users. $5 a month each? Sports scores and articles on ESPN? $2 a month. And that's on top of current data rates! Disgraceful is your word, disgusting and despicable are my preference. I agree with you, JC; I just feel very strongly about this. It's horrible.

2011 its gonna get worse.Google is hiding lots of infos just like every other big corporates.Andy Ruben keep repeating "its open" "openess".too much openess will lead the carriers and OEMs to screw the Android OS even more and more.lets wait and see what happens on the year coming.i got my eyes on At&T(:mad:) and its big brother Verizon(:mad:)
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Andy also said, when asked about the carrier crapware and bastardization, that people will vote with their wallets. I don't think Google really has much to do with net neutrality, despite their changing stance on the issue. They can't charge us, it's the carriers that will do that.

[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I want to try nvflash. I got the files from dropbox, and the Windows zip has a .inf file, but:

- that .inf looks like it's for an ADB driver, not APX, and

- the other files for the APX driver (dlls, etc.) are missing

I guess these are suppose to be part of the tetra sdk, but I can't find that either.

Does anyone know where to get that APX driver? Also should I be able to use both ADB and APX drivers on the same machine?

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I figured it out.

I had to download the froyo image MSI from:

http://tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/downloads

After I ran the MSI, the driver files were put on the system. I then plugged the Gtab in, power + vol-, and then nvflash worked.

[G Tablet General] bjrunn:
i need you help

I need an APX driver i went to the link you suggested but i still do not know which one to download. Can you give instructions? my gtablet is broken
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
The new location on the NVIDIA developers website is here:

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/devkit-250tango

Page down until you see Android 2.2 (Froyo) for Tegra 250 & Tango ONLY, and then click on the MSI link to the right of it.

Be aware, this is an updated version of the Nvidia SDK for the Tegra 250. If you're following instructions from previous posts on how to nvflash your gtab using the APX method, make sure you substitute tegra_froyo_20110207 anywhere you see tegra_froyo_20101105 in the instructions.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Also check out my "NVFlash USB Driver Solution" thread in Developer Forum.

There are three or four sources for getting the USB drivers without having to install the SDK.

[G Tablet General] bjrunn:
I'm bout try it now

When you say change some instructions how is that done, im new at this but I love your help. thanks again. Let me try first
[G Tablet General] bjrunn:
i have to manually substitute something. I must had the wrong instructions before. let me see whats going on. I just found it on yhe site now im am installing it. Do i substitute before i run the program or after or were you just saying when i c 20101105 it really should say 20110207. Im just not trying to mess up like i already did. thanks
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
bjrunn,

You will substitute the new Tegra file information as part of the USB driver install.

As an example, if you are following the nvflash instructions from the androidforums.com website below,

http://androidforums.com/gtablet-support-troubleshooting/253801-nv-flash-full-factory-reset.html

In order to install the USB drivers, anywhere you see tegra_froyo_20101105 in the instructions, use tegra_froyo_20110207 in its place.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblparisi:
Actually not true, the Galaxy S Epic 4G does have a LED notification light. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
This is wrong.

Tethering is free and included with the Nexus S as long as you have a normal data plan with T-Mobile (not any $5.99 or $10.00 T-Zone hacks/etc.). There is NOT an extra special $10 add-on tethering free.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Thanks! This has been corrected.

Negative. As of 11/03, T-Mobile has begun charging for this service.

Source: http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mobile-launching-14-99-tethering-plan-november-3rd/

Android 2.2 introduced the ability to hotspot tether regardless of a paid service on nearly any device(and before that, this was available through some market apps). I believe some have had this ability "disabled," in the sense that it doesn't show up in the Wireless & Networks menu(such as the G2, though this was corrected in an update) but through apps such as AnyCut you can still activate the service and tether.

So, once more, you CAN tether without paying for it, however, T-Mobile may start redirecting your web traffic that doesn't contain the Android UA string to their website. They've been super inconsistent in their enforcement (a good thing, if you ask me!).

EDIT: After looking through the "services" options on my T-Mobile account, I don't see anything about a tethering plan. If other folks could take a peek and let me know, I'll revise that section and make the correction.

Thats a great idea, I'll definitely start try to start collecting known issues. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Understand that the development section for more detail on rooting / unrooting, but would greatly appreciate if you could post specific links in your FAQ to threads that you would use to root / unroot.

Am a newbie and since I see more than a couple of threads on the subject in the development section, I would greatly appreciate it if you can give links here based on your order of preference (after all its your thread) if there are more than one ways.

Point is a link in the FAQs would give more greater confidence :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Updated to include links to two threads in the development section which should get you on your way.

The first one will help you setup ADB and the relevant drivers needed to input commands to the phone from your PC. The second is the actual rooting method and custom recovery installation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Again, since this is the Nexus S forum, the Nexus S, has NO tethering pay plans for T-Mobile. It's included and free. Yes that option was removed on the G2, etc., but again, this is the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
I'm well aware of which forum I am in and which phone I have. :)

The option was removed in the G2 and added back in via OTA update, it was also there on the MT4G at launch. I'll admit even setting my device to to show as one of those still does not pull up that option under services. I'm willing to believe that perhaps T-Mobile announced their intention to charge for the service then decided not to.

However, just to point out, the Nexus S/Nexus One are not special phones(as far as T-Mobile are concerned) on T-Mobile's network and thus entitled to special privileges. They are subject to the same rules and regulations as any other phone. In any which case, I'm going to make an adjustment to that section to note the ambiguity.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhaedraCorruption:
Is it just me or does the Nexus S seem to be more riddled with problems on release than most other phones? Perhaps it's just because of high expectations after the mind blowing release of the N1?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Not really. Every device has it's bugs and issues at release, the Nexus One included. Touch screen wigging out randomly, capacitive buttons misaligned, the relatively easy "death grip," and just generally (at least for me) weak 3G connection. My favorite was when the Nexus One wouldn't send or receive any text messages or phone calls.

We should also keep in mind that Gingerbread itself is brand new as well.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Two recurring issues for me (and it seems others) are that the ringtones change themselves (especially after rebooting or plugging USB); and pictures in Gallery can sometimes disappear.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
I've noticed the former myself yesterday, but not the Gallery stuff. Do you mean custom ringtones or even the pre-installed ones?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Custom - as in, MP3s I've put onto the USB storage. I'm not sure if it's true with the pre-installed ones. Do you experience it with the pre-install ones? Luckily it's easy to recreate, so I'll test it now. I can recreate the issue by plugging/unplugging the USB storage, or rebooting the phone - after both these actions, the phone always changes the assigned ringtones.

By the way, this issue was reported to Google here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413. Anyone who is experiencing random ringtone changes, please visit the link and star it so more attention is brought to Google; hopefully which will get fixed in a future update.

Will report back in a second regarding the pre-installed ones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Yep, same thing here with the custom mp3 ringtones. But only when the USB is plugged in. Just tested, mine stays on reboot with no USB plugged in, but of course loses it whenever the USB is plugged in.

My thinking is that Android is "prepping" the SD partition, in a sense, for mounting so it's de-linking(for lack of a better term) itself from things on the partition. The same thing happens on a phone with a real SD card if you were to actually mount it, though typically the link(again, lack of a better term) is restored on unmount.

The Nexus S seems to have a premature eja--errr "mounting" issue. :)

EDIT: Does not seem to happen with the pre-installed ringtones, so perhaps a workaround would be to push custom tones to the system partition.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theos0o:
One quick question guys.

Does Nexus S have ~300MB RAM available instead of 512MB (like the Galaxy S) ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Both the Nexus S and the Galaxy S have 512MB of RAM. Most of that is used by system processes, however, and what's left is available to the user.

Typically on a fresh reboot, I see my ram at around ~230-240mb and it will drop down from there as unkillable(in the sense that they will immediately relaunch upon kill e.g. NFC service, GB keyboard, etc.) apps start to run before finally settling around 180-200mb. I've had my RAM get as low as 50mb before and didn't notice a slow down at all. Gingerbread is much better at memory management than previous editions, imo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
@Unremarked, I experience the same with the ringtone changes. Hope you'll star the report in the link I provided.

Here's another one for the FAQ: Since starting to use noLED, anyone else noticing they're having trouble moving icons on their home screens? Have noLED on and long press an icon on your home screen and try to move it somewhere else. After letting go, it either reverts back to where it was, or it disappears! Even without being anywhere near the trash can.

I'm going to uninstall noLED and see if I can recreate this problem. If so, then it's not even noLED-related. However, I only experienced this after installing/using noLED. Anyone else?

The issues/glitch list in the FAQ should be significantly longer. Gingerbread is chalk full of them it seems. People should continue making reports to Google, as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
That's a negative on the icon issue with noLED. However, it could be a non-issue for me because I use LauncherPro Plus instead of the stock launcher.

As for the issue/glitch list, yeah, I agree. I'm just grabbing things that seem to be a common topic of threads created in this forum or pointed out in this thread. I think I'd go nuts if I was to try and document every bug haha! I'm going to add a link to the official Google support site so folks know where to go to report these to the folks that can fix them.

Back to the topic of the ringtones, I'm testing now if we can push them to the system partition and if it'll keep it from changing. EDIT: Answer is yes. Pushing the .mp3 to the system/media/ringtones folder will keep the phone from changing ringtones on reboot, USB plug in, or USB mounted. So a workaround for now, though inconvenient for some.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
@Unremarked...

When I dock my USB Storage, I open the Media folder, but only see Audio (and then inside Audio, I see a Notification folder). I don't see any "Ringtone" folder. Can I just create one in Media folder?

Unless I'm misunderstanding your directions entirely?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Ah yeah, my apologies, I should have been more specific. I used Root Explorer to move my ringtone .mp3 from its location on the SD card to the system/media/audio/ringtones on the system partition.

You could also adb push it there as well if you're more familiar with doing things that way. Should be something like:

adb push Name.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
?

There shouldn't be a folder to set up. You're placing your ringtones where the pre-installed ones are on the system partition, not on the SD card.

Sweet find! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
I'm sorry, this is a bit new to me. Does Root Explorer require rooting your phone? I thought it meant just connecting the USB Storage to my computer, then creating a "ringtone" folder in /media/audio. I see I'm mistaken.

Edit: Thought Astro could do the same, but discovered it doesn't allow me to Move nor Copy the mp3 into that folder. I assume this requires rooting?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Bah, no worries, my fault again for assuming.

Yes, the procedure I'm talking about does require rooting because you're placing your ringtone in a folder that is normally Read-Only.

EDIT: I'm not sure if Astro will let you move things into the system partition. I haven't used it personally in a long time, I usually use Root Explorer for that. Do you have any experience with ADB? Actually, I suppose the first and biggest question that should be asked is if you're rooted? If you're not, it's a fairly easy procedure but make a copy of everything on your SD card on your computer because rooting will wipe it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
I see. I prefer not to root my phone - I bought the Nexus S in the hopes that I didn't have to 'tinker' with it in such ways. It's a shame. Hopefully Google will address this issue (and many others) in future updates.

Thanks for your help, though.
