Hey guys i was playing around with my nexus s today and rooted it... Did that successfully. When i came up to some fonts i installed the zip form the revocery manager. After that i couldn't boot up anymore(phone was stuck on the silver google logo). I ended up formating the data(everything), now under the fastboot mode it says "No boot or recovery img." But i can still but up in the clockworkmod recovery... Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] truthkillszz:
I know me and a few other people have been getting problems on downloading any apps on the market for some reason. Also I have noticed that some times my wifi icon and signal icon is green and other times they are gray.

Well I just figured out that I only get these problems downloading apps on the market while my icons are grey, but when the icons are green market works normal. Now I know that I still get data while the icons are grey, cause my web browsing works so it can't mean that im not receiving an active connection. Does anyone know what does the difference in colored icons mean?

Sorry if this is posted already and I posted in this section because I believe it has to deal with the fix of the market problem
[Nexus S General] graemegb:
Grey means that you aren't connected to google's sync servers. so yes this may be the cause of not being able to d/l
[Nexus S General] truthkillszz:
thanx cuz i remember someone asking about the color also but with no answer so what may be the reason why i am not connected to googles sync servers like 85% of the time? and is it possible to fix?

also this may be the cause of all the errors with gtalk connecting or not sending msgs ive been reading about
[Nexus S General] ogh417:
I'm getting the same errors too. Any fixes?

Glad to know it isn't just me! I was scrolling thru settings trying to figure out why my icons were gray
[Nexus S General] graemegb:
Mine only go grey when switching from EDGE to WiFi. the only thing i can suggest is a factory reset. also, is this happening when the phone is going down to edge? this may be what is causing the problem.
[Nexus S General] truthkillszz:
ill do a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset and post any updates

EDIT: so far its working im about to restore my phone tho cuz i forgot to make a titanium backup of my apps then ill wipe again ill post if it starts messing up again
[Nexus S General] gietl:
My phone has not had this problem, but I have seen my wifes do this a few times. We both got the Nexus S today. We run on wifi here at home. I thought it was really odd when trying to get some items from the market.

It eventually turned green, but took about 30 seconds or so.

Hi guys, I did something stupid. I'm also a newb here with Android as well. Here are the details:

-Rogers Galaxy S Captivate

-Flashed ATT 2.2 using the one-click package I found here

-Everything worked fine and dandy

-Decided to venture into custom roms (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091)

-Couldn't install because it needed recovery 2e (or something like that)

-Searched around and found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

-Being an idiot, I randomly picked one of the files and tried to flash the kernel

Result.... I cannot boot up to anything. All I see is a phone connected to a PC on the screen. I cannot get into recovery but can get into download mode. This didn't help because I tried to reload ATT 2.2 again but it doesn't do anything.

What do I do now? Thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Bruckshut:
I was going to get the Nexus S, but I can't do without at least 32gb. The Evo was my second choice, but only because I "heard" the display was a bit washed out in compared to the amazing SAMOLED display with the Nexus S.

I really prefer the Evo when push comes to shove, though. I prefer HTC Sense, the bigger screen, Sprint, 4G, etc. but I have to have a nice screen.

What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
There's no question, the SAMOLED display looks way better. The way blacks blend in to the device makes it look great. Colors are more vibrant. The display isn't that much smaller and is actually a decent size. The only problem I have with the display is if you look at text really close you'll see some jaggedness because of the sub pixel pattern they used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navoid:
The galaxy s series definitely has some jaggedness to the screen because of the subpixel pattern, pentile matrix. But its readable for the most part. The colors on it are gorgeous for everything but white screens with text, which is a lot of the internet unfortunately. The blacks are the truest blacks ever. And the proccessor on the galaxy s is excellent.

Somehow the evo manages to feel a bit faster though in most day to day things and menus. Overall the evo is the better phone for internet use and reading of text, but the screen doesnt display blacks and colors well. Still I prefer the evo over the epic.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
you can't go wrong with either phone, the evo at this very moment has a more mature after market community, something not to be take lightly. I have never looked at my evo screen and been left wanting, i am very pleased with the screen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
probably because the snapdragon cpu is slightly better but the hummingbird gpu is miles ahead
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
I came from tmobile and a vibrant to sprint and the evo. There are only 2 things that I miss from the vibrant...the 16 gb internal storage, and the samoled screen. The galaxy s phones have slot of problems because of their rfs file system, I.e. lots of lag. I'm not sure how the nexus s is but I would wait on some reviews first. I definitely happier with the evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaryBugThing:
I have an Evo and I've never thought the screen was lacking. I haven't seen the Nexus S screen.

But if the screen is the most important thing, enough to ignore all the other criteria you mentioned (bigger screen, 4G, Sprint, SenseUI), maybe just get an iPhone 4. It's definitely the best screen. The highest resolution, and I think the only IPS screen currently available. I hate Apple's control over their products and user experience, but if the screen is that important to you, maybe that's a sacrifice you're willing to make.

However, if we're limited to Android devices, between the SAMOLED Nexus S screen and the LCD Evo screen, I can't imagine the difference is enough to get the Nexus S given all the Evo advantages you listed.

I just think you're putting too much value on having the "best possible" screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
The Nexus S does not use the same file system and is lag free for the most part. From what I've seen/read, the Nexus S doesn't have HW flash acceleration enabled like the SGS does so viewing flash enabled websites can be a bit laggy. Seeing as how it uses the same CPU/GPU as the SGS, Google and custom ROMs should solve this problem pretty soon and once they do, it'll be pretty much 100% smooth. And I mean smooth -- there's no question that it looks and feels faster than the EVO.

A lot of people also say it looks ugly and cheap; it is glossy but combined with the blended into the case blacks of the SAMOLED, the curve, the thinness, and the buttery smoothness of Android, it IMO feels a lot better than the EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Yea I was reading about all that, the big turn off for me is no micro sd slot, that just doesn't make sense why they left that out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I agree. I don't know how things work, maybe there's some kind of limitation to how the internal storage file system works? But I would have liked to see 16GB (hell, I would have been fine with 8GB) of _real_ internal storage (none of that quasi external storage crap) and a expandable micro SD card for multimedia and app/personal data storage. Personally I only keep about 3 gigs of backup music (when I can't stream) on my card so I don't need more than 16GB but I could see how people would need more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconmania:
The screen on the Evo is gorgeous. Sure, side by side the SAMOLED wins but it's not like you're going to be missing it if you have an Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Evo screen is not as good but the size difference makes up for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evired:
I have had the Evo since launch...if i was looking for a new phone I would personally wait for the next crop of phones to come out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 17:
The EVO screen is a bit disappointing compared to the Galaxy S phones, but I can definitely tell a difference with the extra 0.3.

Also, if you use Cyanogenmod, you can also add a built-in widget to calibrate the screen colors to appear less washed out and darker, which makes a significant difference imo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruggerxpunk:
So I had to take my phone to Sprint. They flashed the original RRU back onto it.

I still have S-off though. So in order to root my phone again, do I need to go through the unrevoked method? Or is there a way I can just somehow flash clockworkmod recovery (through Hboot?), and then I'd be good to flash new ROMs from there?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaEVO:
adb amon ra

Search the forums, I remember reading about this specific issue, I believe you need to just push a custom recovery onto your phone and flash a rooted rom. Are you experienced with adb? Or I'm guessing you unrevoked 3'd your evo. Load amon ra and push that recovery back on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frizzanko:
if you're s-off try place on the root and flash this, then you should be good, you can flash a new rom.

I can't see where you're referring to on the unrevoked website. I've been to both www.unrevoked.com & www.unrevoked.com/#evo and even www.unrevoked.com/recovery and the only options I have is to actually go through the entire "Painless root & reflash" process. I was hoping to just download only the clockworkmod PC36IMG image.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goatssea:
Here's my situation. Sent my I9000M to get repaired 6 weeks ago (SD Card failure), and it still hasn't come back. I've made enough stink about it that Bell just replaced it with a new one today.

My worry now is that I'm sitting on a ticking time bomb, and i just want to get it over with if the SD card is going to fail, so I'm thinking of installing the Froyo build that Bell pulled back. What do you guys think? If I do decide to do it, could you point me to where I could download the ROM, or if I can do a Kies registry hack?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
Personally I think they pulled it because of battery issues....when I upgraded originally my battery was dying like mad. All I did was wipe user data and cache and it fixed the issue.

I say do it, just wipe it before and when it reboots after wipe it again! I've flashed many times without an issue, only problem is if you do and it does **** then what do you say to bell lol I was doing the froyo update That you pulled?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goatssea:
My personal opinion is that it really doesn't have anything to do with the builds, and it's purely a hardware issue that is exacerbated by updating ROMs ... but what the hell do I know? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
Lol we are just sheep they are testing these roms to see how many get bricked lol. You should use the reg hack but then you will be upgraded to 2.2.1.

[Nook Color General] h8rift:
Check the dev thread. They are already booting an alpha version of froyo.
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
The latest is Gingerbread (2.3), not Froyo (2.2). The problem is that it is only officially released as source and the Nexus S. There's little developed driver support yet. As more official and user developed Gingerbread builds get released, there's a lot more to work with.

I think it's cool that they are working with Froyo, rather than Eclair though! :)
[Nexus S General] ohgood:
I finally got my hands on a NS just a few minutes ago. Given, it was handcuffed to an alarm and a usb charger, and completely not fun to use this way. The camera.apk crashed several times. The market was less than responsive. I figured this was a badly beat up device, and am prolly right, being at a bestbuy store.

The thing is, when it was announced, I was going to buy, sight unseen. Then I read it was really a galaxy S with not much different, possible gps issues, etc - you've all heard this before.

Now, don't go crazy thinking I'm about to flaunt and rave about a wp7 device. No sir, not me. I'm a android nut to the bone. My Nexus One is just going to have to make do a little longer until the multi-core devices come out....

unless....

can someone motivate me as to why i might replace my N1 with a NS ? please, I'm -NOT- looking for a flamewar, or to bash any device. I think the S is badass, but just not badass enough to toss the N1 yet.

Convince me ? Flame me ? whatever, i want to hear why you switched from a N1.

:)
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
There are plenty of threads about the device for you to make an informed decision. I suggest reading and deciding for yourself instead of creating another one of these threads.
[Nexus S General] going_home:
I have a Nexus One.

I sold a G2 Friday.

Bought the Nexus S Saturday.

I found I didnt need a keyboard (I use Swype) and the G2 didnt seem to be

any faster than the N1.

I do like both the N1 and the NS.

The GPS/maps works fine on the NS, used it today.

I wouldnt pay $529 for an NS but if you are off contract its a great phone for $199.

Best phone on the planet right now. At least for the next 15 minutes.

:cool:
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
My first impressiong of the NS was...."wtf is this ****" at best buy. It was tied up as well, and for whatever reason it wasn't turning on, felt cheap.

That was about a week ago. Today I headed out to best buy again, apparently the first time around there was no battery in it. I felt better about, and ended picking up for my papa dukes.

I've been ****ting on the NS all week after my first encounter. After using it for a few hours setting it up, holding it. It feels reall really nice in the hand. The N1 feels more "solid" but there's no form to it, it feels like holding a piece of aluminum stock down at the metal yard. The NS feels much more organic. The plastic allows it to feel warm.

Screen - Takes a huge **** on the N1 screen. The size combined with the extra saturation, it's no comparison. Touch screen in about 3 - 4 million times better than the N1. The screen wrapped with a black housing gives the phone a certain "presence" that makes the n1 seem feeble.

Software wise - stock android is trash, always has been. CM 6 runns much smoother than 2.3, no question abuot it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
4" SUPER AMOLED screen.

Game over.
[Nexus S General] dwang:
I have a nexus one and I picked up the nexus s a couple of days ago.

The biggest difference for me is the fantastic screen. It's significantly better than the nexus one screen. That alone is worth the upgrade for me.

Speed wise, the nexus s isn't much faster than a nexus one running the aosp gingerbread roms, so I wouldn't buy a nexus s expecting it to be faster.
[Nexus S General] YuryAC:
My reply will sound like everyone else's. This is a flagship phone, and it shows. Spec wise, its comparable to the N1. Experience wise, the N1 can't compare.

2.3 is very streamline. Its smooth. It flows. The 4" SAMOLED screen is incredible. The colors are vivid, the transitions are smooth, and its response is unmatched. Its so responsive, it sometimes presses the buttons before i do! :D

I have an N1 and I was a skeptic as well, until i turned it on and used it for a day. You simply cannot compare the two. Nexus S all day.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
This is really all you need to know. I also came from an N1 and loved the amoled screen on there; to put it simply, the Samoled screen on the NS makes the N1 screen look like ****. I didn't think it could really be all that much better but it really is, also the touch sensor and oleophobic coating are fantastic.

I showed my 5 coworkers, who all have iphone4's, my NS yesterday and they all said the exact same thing "that screen is gorgeous."
[Nexus S General] Das_mobile:
No LED notification light, and no trackpad/trackball. These are two major sell points for me. So much so I may end up with a MyTouch 4G :(
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
if i have anything from N1, Desire, Desire HD, Galaxy S, i wouldnt trade or sell it for Nexsus S.

not that NS isnt better than N1 or Desire, its just FOR ME, the LG star "optimus 2x " or whatever its going to be called coming by Feb . thats like 2 months only from now. duel core processor with Tegra 2 from Nvidia gpu for assuming gpu performance. and on top of that a super amoled screen as well as 8M camera " i think ? "

so it doesn't make sense for me to spend an X ammount TODAY on an adroid phone when a new much better one coming in like exactly 2 months.

NOW, the NS is a developers phone. what does that mean for you that all developers will be baising their games on the Nexus S. thats the standard. for gaming. it will be on Nexus S. much like how games standards was Nexus 1. what does that mean to you is until the next developers phone comes out, ALL the new games for example or apps will run as defult on NS.

that not to say it wont run better on Tegra 2 in the LG phone for example, just like how games runs better on Galaxy S over the Nexus 1.

i think you should stick with your Nexus 1 as well.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
lol. i think the Desire HD has more power ;) and 150% more Ram. and a 4.3 screen ;)

but i love the nexus S though. its a great phone
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
No LED notification light? No problem. NoLED turns on the screen and displays an icon depending on what kind of notification you have (new e-mail, new text, etc). Since it's SAMOLED, the black uses little to no power so it isn't a battery drain.

No trackpad/touchball? I barely used mine on my G1. I don't miss it on my Verizon Fascinate either. Not sure why people want that so badly that it influences their decision on getting a phone or not...
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
This was my same thought when I picked up the NS, I needed to have a notification light and thankfully the NoLed app makes the lack of trackball notifications irrelevant now. NoLed works great and looks awesome too and doesn't have any noticeable affect on battery.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
If they released it on T-mobile in the US, it'd be nice. But it isn't.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
JC turning the corner on the NS?! Don't go towards the light! ;)

To the OP, I will probably be returning the Nexus S before the 30 day return policy is up and sticking with the Nexus One as well.

Benefits of Nexus S:

1. SuperAMOLED (Soooo beautiful... 1 of 2 things that kills the Nexus One for me)

2. 4' screen (Personal opinion but I actually like the compactness of the Nexus One's design... I know I'm weird)

3. NFC (Not around yet, wont be for awhile)

4. True multitouch for gaming (I use a wiimote to play emulators so I don't care about multitouch gaming)

5. Better Speaker (I don't blast music through my phones speaker. If Im at home I use my computer, if I'm in the car I use the car speakers, if Im out an about I'll use some earphones)

6. Android updates developed w/ Nexus S in mind(Long as the N1 gets updates as well I'm ok w/ sharing the love)

7. Hummingbird processor (I don't notice any lag on my stock Nexus One)

8. More app storage space (I always keep my Nexus One at 75-80% free)

9. Battery life (2nd thing that kills the Nexus One... but I have a spare battery so my N1 lasts all day)

These are some great benefits for 90% of people to be worth upgrading for. Just that I'm one of the weird 10% ;)

Another option I've been thinking of is actually getting the Samsung Galaxy Tablet to completely replace my Nexus One (with 3g enabled skype app) and Netbook (with a bluetooth keyboard) for $40/mo with T-mobile this doesn't seem like a terrible idea if I find a cool looking European shoulder bag that I wouldn't mind taking with me everywhere to have the tablet with me at all times like a phone :cool:
