So im going to buy nexus s I9023. What is the latest android version on nexus s? And does it remove web browsing lag ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverg:
The latest Android version is 2.3.7. You'll get 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich when its released.

As for browsing lag, I haven't experienced that with mine unless I have a poor connection.

How to get pics, etc off Broken phone! Please Help!

Hi,

So I have a rooted Nexus S obviously and my screen cracked. The entire screen is black and I now realize the downside to having an internal memory. -____-

So I looked everywhere and I can't seem to find out how to get my pics and other documents off of this thing. I tried using the CMD and pulling the folder off but nothing gets pulled.

The phone no longer has service and I have no idea what to do anymore. Am I doomed? Please help!

Thanks!

PS: I was able to get to "mount usb storage" in recovery mode but for some reason by computer doesn't connect to either my broken phone or my new Nexus S. -____- It connects when the phone is on but not in recovery mode! This is so frustrating! I installed and uninstalled so many drivers!

You can change your browser settings to make it look like mozilla or anything you want. Try reading google or anywhere else instead of posting questions with answers everywhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Only Loki:
@fenixnr. You can't do that on the stock browser anymore. Don't be a troll.

@ O.P. you have to use an alternate browser for that. Try dolphin HD. Then look in the setting and change the user agent to desktop.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
If you're running any 2.2 ROM, you can use the stock browser to view non-mobile sites by typing "about:useragent" (without the quotes) into the address bar and selecting "Desktop" from the dialog that comes up.

Aside from that, you will need to use another browser from the Market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whfengmd:
The ucweb has the function you looking for. It is the most popular mobil browser in China. I don't know if there is a English version.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilx:
Have tried googling on here and elsewhere, but I want to stop getting a mobile view of web sites. For example bbc.co.uk gives a mobile view. I have tried typing "about:debug" to get the extra settings in the settings menu, but nothing that helps appears.

I have also typed about:useragent in the browsers’ address bar,

which brings up several options for the useragent (Android,Iphone,Desktop, Lismore and custom) I have tried all these but still no luck

I am on JP6

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I was pretty annoyed by this too ... now I am using skyfire if I want to use a website in the full view.

Not sure it can be changed easily on the stock browser
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
download the "Steel" browser. In settings, you can set the user agent to "Desktop".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
You can also upgrade the stock browser via the SGS Tools app in order to add the user agent setting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ukdtweak:
Just open the browser and in the address bar type:

about:useragent

Press GO...

You will get an option screen, just select Desktop and press OK? should work, Im rooted on JPU though?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gregy21a:
about:useragent

This works fine, was able to access sites on android standard browser without getting mobile sites.

The only problem is that it does not survive power off and would have to be re-entered if you were to power your phone off.

Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilx:
Thanks, I tried this but doesn't work on non rooted JP6

Thanks, I tried this but doesn't work on non rooted JP6

SGS Tools app is asking for root, and say click to access Market to get rooting program, that then fails as its not available. What's the best way of rooting/ unrooting Froyo JP6

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mad2x:
I use the free dolphin hd browser of the maket and in the settings you choose "desktop" under the "user agent". Works perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
Even better, get the Desktop Toggle addon for it so you can conveniently switch between modes with a button on the right addon bar.

I'm new to the flashing world but not the rooting and roms...I just flashed over a Fascinate to Cricket. Followed directions to the T. Called cricket, told them I wanted the zio plan...they hung up everything is fine. I check to see if I can access the market and low and behold I can't. No browsing...nothing. I get on the net on the comp and check my plan...alas, I do not have the android plan. I have the $55 plan for pda's. I called them irate, and they stated they are unable to provide me with an android plan because it is a flashed phone. They will only provide android plans for their android phones. WTF?
[General Topics] Anderdroid:
You need to lie to them and say that you literally have a Kyocera Zio and they put you on a wrong plan will put you on the plan for it. That's how I got on it. Tell them that you do not have a flashed phone. You have a zio. You must do this over the phone. Lol

You should try a "microsoft solution": just delete your account, create it again and sync all a new.

I had a similar problem after a ROM update, and that fixed it.

So the other day, i installed rmk's virtuous rom on my G2.

and i really genuinely enjoyed it. but i just missed having that 'pure' android experience.

so i switched back.

however, one thing i did enjoy was the htc sense photo gallery.

so my question is: is there any way to install the htc sense photo gallery onto my G2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello!

I learned some new simple skills with the Gingerbread port that can allow me I think to produce a complete workaround for unfortunate I9000M users.

I9000M is a phone very similar to the Galaxy S GT-I9000, sold as "Bell Vibrant" in Canada.

This model is affected by a anormal % of defective model, so high I feel really bad for users owning one of them.

During Voodoo development, I was in contact with lots of them, including one with its internal SD dying live. Painful experience for the owner for sure and also for me helpless.

Now, to help me help you, I will need the collaboration of some of you. Not necessarily with a perfect condition working phone.

A phone affected will allow to verify the success of the operation.

UPDATE

It turns out there are several states of "dead" or "dying" phone, something I didn't anticipated based on the previous reports.

1/ Phone booting only if you plug an External SDcard

This is where I can do something not over-complex to make the phone work 99% normal, with access to the sdcard as internal storage and on USB.

There is still something to do in this area.

2/ Phone not booting at all including with an External SDcard inserted

I could fix them in theory, but my previous remove attempts were unsuccessful, using a special baked kernel for this occasion where unsuccessful for some reason.

I could maybe develop a solution if someone sends me its dead phone.

But I guess his best option is to send it to Bell instead!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Okay what do I need:

If possible, remote adb access to:

- a normal working phone

- a phone barely working using the external sdcard as "fallback", without the ability to use it as sdcard/USB.

What do you need:

- A I9000M

- An external SDcard

This will be done real time on IRC, join us at this channel: http://bit.ly/gQMeSC

Ask if you need help to setup that :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PreemoX2:
Sign me up! What do you need?

EDIT: Nevermind, you posted what you needed before I posted. I can help. I have a fully functional i9000M on Froyo and one dead i9000M phone. No matter what I do in Odin using stock Bell firmwares, it will not ... run. Won't and can't mount the internal for the life of it.

Anyways, how does one grant remote ADB access?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
A direct access to the phone rooted via remote adb would be perfect.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
The issue is more complex and challenging that expected.

On some phones the internal SD is still here but dying, and on other phones the internal SD is not detected at all (which make things easier)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cloudrainstar:
My first two phones, after they died, mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, and mmcblk0p2 were all missing, then when I inserted an external sd, the phone started using that as the mmcblk0/p1/p2.

On my third phone, when it died, mmcblk0 was missing, but mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2 were still there (I have no idea how..) But inserting an external sd did nothing...

On my fourth phone death, mmcblk0 was there, but mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2 were both missing... Again, inserting an external did nothing...

The fourth time I was actually beside a computer when it died so I was able to look at adb logcat to see what it was doing... all it kept saying was a lot of various apps not being able to write to /data/data, then when I rebooted, it never came back :P

First two deaths: With an eclair kernel, phone would show the Samsung GT-I9000M logo, then turn off. You could then insert an external sd card and have it boot into Android. With a froyo kernel, I could only access recovery, but nothing else would boot up.

Last two deaths: With a froyo kernel, phone would show the Samsung GT-I9000M logo, then turn off, and turn back on, and turn off... till I pulled the battery out. With an eclair kernel, I could boot into recovery, but that was it.

I have a product exchange plan that if my phone dies I can go in to Futureshop and exchange it for a new one, so I don't have the dead phones anymore.

Hope this information is of some use...

got my phone dec 4th and unlocked, flashed 3 buttons fix and flashed jk3 via odin + cleared everything the very same day.

the next morning got a bunch of FC, flashed jk3 via odin again. This time cleared all data before / after flashing. The very same day my dog ate part of the bezel ( yes, it sucks.... )

JK3 was working fine, but battery was dying on me every 6 - 8 hours. Then I upgraded to jk4 via odin again using a image dump from the forum.

battery was a bit better, but after 4 days it died. It was right after *draining the battery* in my pocket and it got into the same boot loop, vibrating, flashing buttons state.

Gave the battery a good 4 hours charge, and still no luck. Tried pulling out the battery, SIM card and still nothing.

Was able to flash jk3 again, followed by a jk4 upgrade via KIES. at this stage phone got very usable, battery was good, all apps working. But I decided to get away from it as I think we might have more than 1 problem here ( hardware and software might actually be different problems ).

So I flashed jh2, got CWM going and updated to Doc's Bell rom 1.3 with jk3 modem.

It's going strong for the past 5 days, gps is still ****, battery is good though, and no FCs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dawgplg:
So last week I received my shiny new SGS, it replaced the dead one I returned earlier. My corp store replaced it without asking too many questions. The previous one I played with, Flashed Roms, Rooted etc. Then one day it would boot normally until after the Blue Swirl, then nothing, only LED's would light. I even lost the ability to use Download and Recovery mode. While trying to fix it I encountered many errors most were related to the Internal Storage (not surprisingly). Anyway fast forward to today. My replacement SGS was updated via Kies to 2.2 JK4 almost right after I got it. The phone has worked flawlessly, until today. No root, no custom roms, no lagfix... STOCK Froyo. For some reason the battery drained incredibly fast today. I plugged it in after the battery died and let it charge for about an hour, tried to boot it up and I got as far as the first Galaxy S logo, then it would reboot, Galaxy S logo, reboot... etc.

Recovery and download still worked. And recovery mode showed the same Internal SD errors as my last phone. I have tried to flash a few Stock Roms using Odin, none have been successful. Always flashing Galaxy S. Ive somehow managed to lose Recovery mode, but still have Download.

Does any of this help? Ill probably have my phone for the next few days before I have to send it out. Anything I can try?

If you somehow find a way to fix this plague... wow... you will make ALOT of Bell users happy.. lol..

Hi supercurio, I have a dead sgs and a working one. The dead one was bought to be use for the time I received my screen replacement from ebay but it died. I have mmcblk0p1 missing so the phone get a black sceen after S logo when flashed with 2.1 and it loop on the i9000m screen when flashed with 2.2 and I talk french as my first language (mais celui du Québec pas de France).

The only pronleme is that I cant acces recivery for now as I lost the 3 buttons combo when it died. I made a little 301k ohm jig to acces download mode. I would have to make another one to acces recovery cause for now I can only acces it after an odin flash and repartition wich make it reboot into recovery once the flashing is done.

Can I be of any help?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] YG007:
supercurio:

I am one of the unfortunate ones who have had 3 i9000m's die. The first one was on 2.1 and the other two times were on 2.2. All three phones (when flashed with a 2.1 ROM to boot into recovery, said mmcblk0p1 was either corrupt, or did not exist. When mmcblk0p1 disappeared, so did mmcblk0p2.)

The phone that had 2.1 would boot into the OS with an external SD card inserted. But, can't install apps, and the phone said there is no storage to store anything, anywhere. Basically it was useless.

The phones with 2.2, when the internal SD crashed, both times, it would show the initial Galaxy S (i9000[m]) screen, but then reboot after 2 seconds and loop there. It doesn't even get to the boot animation part! Recovery doesn't work. All you can access is the download mode. Only after you flash a 2.1 ROM, it will go into recovery mode, but it will puke all over the place saying mmcblk0p1 cannot be formatted, or mmcblk0p1 I/O error.

The fact that it goes into the worst possible boot loop, (displaying the Galaxy S, i9000[m] screen for 2 seconds then rebooting without showing the boot animation) scares me, since not much can be done with a phone that does that.

I really hope you can come up with some sort of solution. I've owned the phone since August of this year, and if you add up all the days that I had it in my hands and working... I only had it in my possession for less than 30 days. The rest of the time (3 months+, its been in repair). The last time I sent it back to be repaired AGAIN, was mid november, and I still don't have the phone back... :(
