[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
I agree with it all. My main issue is the 'deadzone' which is the 1cm edge of the touch screen.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
This is NOT a bug. This is by design.

To elaborate, from the stickied FAQ:
[Nexus S General] nMIK-3:
Not sure what you mean.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Sorry, jumped the gun a little. See the quote I edited in.

Like I said, this is by design.

EDIT: I also have some of the things you've pointed out listed in the Known Issues section of the FAQ, and some that you don't have.

BUG: touch screen area

the bug i've found so far... (which can be fixed by a screen calibration app)

the first half inch of the screen right above the 4 soft buttons, are not very responsive, unless you use your finger tips

so when you Naturally use the THUMB to press those quick shortcuts from Launcher Pro, or stock Android Launcher it won't react.... which is rather annoying.

never had that problem with the SGS
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I started a thread over at Android Central to get people to visit reported issues to Google and star them. Here's the list so far. Let's add to it.

1)

Random ringtone/notification tone changes

: Ringtones assigned to contacts do not maintain assignment after a reboot

2)

Disappearing App icons on the home screen or difficulty in moving them

: Disappearing Home Screen Icons

3)

Disappearing photos from the Gallery

:

Issue 13419 - android - New pictures disappear in Gallery - Project Hosting on Google Code

4)

Repeal the 15-min return policy in App Market (it used to be 24 hours)

: Issue 13116 - android - Change refund time in Market. 15min is way to little. - Project Hosting on Google Code

5)

Accelerometer not working after using Sky Maps

: Nexus S-Accelerometer will not work after using Sky Maps

6)

After screen times out, you can't bring it back when using speakerphone or earbuds

[Nexus S General] WinterAce:
Hmm, that deadzone seems like it'll be a troublesome issue for me... Can you please post a picture of the keyboard displacement? (I haven't got my NS yet, so I don't know how it looks)
[Nexus S General] saryu:
i don't know if this is one of the error.. but the charging time is ridiculous. i could charge up to 2 hours and still not finish charging.. the battery run out ridiculously fast too.. with normal usage it barely manage more than half a day.. i adjust my screen brightness to the minimum level and turn off background data and auto sync (i just turn them on when i needed them), and use it to play a little bit of games and watching movies.. 8 hours is around the best time i got..

another known issue is poor wifi signal =(..i am standing 1 meter from my router and the signal could drop from full bar to 1 bar while my sister macbook could receive wifi from another room that is quite far from the router..
[Nexus S General] drew_grant:
Something I noticed yesterday was notification tones almost nonexistent despite the volume being at full blast. When pressing the volume rocker I barely hear anything. I fixed this by rebooting the phone but still something that's a little alarming.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Not sure if it was mentioned, but i hope they fix the MMS/image upload orientation issue
[Nexus S General] spacemanspiff33:
I dont know if this is considered a nexus bug, but...

-Youtube app, if I search for, select, and watch a video...after completion, if I press search again, and type something in, after hitting enter it simply clears the search screen and returns to finished video. In order to make a new search I have to back back back all the way to the first youtube screen or force close/reopen youtube app. Again this is using the provided youtube app, not youtube mobile
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I haven't experienced any of the things in that list, but then again they are pretty app specific and I don't use any of those apps. One thing I did experience was the Facebook app just logged me out and lost all my contact sync settings. This happened to me twice, but it is more likely a Facebook problem and not Gingerbread.

Oh, I did notice the battery charge thing but like someone else mentioned I don't consider that a bug.

[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I have no idea what they're talking about. o_o I have almost always used the stock Messaging app on every Android phone I've ever owned (and I've owned a fair share of them, see sig) and never once have I had a problem anywhere CLOSE to what they're reporting.

I've only ever had two issues with messaging was on the Nexus One, it's weak 3G/phone signal would cause alot of messages to not send randomly. And the other was my GF would sometimes receive duplicates of messages after flashing/reflashing/restoring things on my G2. Interestingly enough, no one else told me they were getting duplicates 'cept for her.

EDIT: Beyond that, I take what Engadget says with a great grain of salt. I consider them to be the FOX News(instead of the GOP, it's Apple) of phone/technology blogs.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Engadget is a pretty biased site since that is what keeps the apple sheep coming back and paying the bills by clicking their adds.

The only thing I would ever use them for is as a way to keep up to date with what is happening by scanning their article titles and then doing my own research.

Waste of time to actually read their articles tho :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Its happened with me a couple of times, just a slight annoyance, gotta make sure i know who my SMS is going to..

Not really trying to pick sides in this debate because i frequent both sites but not that it matters but Gizmodo was the Apple fanboy site until the whole iPhone4 fiasco, so did Engadget take over the reins all of a sudden?
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
#8 is NOT a problem. Read up on how our batteries charge for more information. It helps your battery last longer.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Really? I've found Engadget Mobile to be very pro-Android for the last few months I've been following them. Both Chris Ziegler and Myriam Joire use Android devices for their daily-use phones.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
here is another bug to watch for

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895025
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Ah, maybe I should be just sticking to Engadget Mobile because the regular Engadget site digs up everything and anything it can to **** on Android(i.e. the supposed Messaging problem, the language of the article suggests that Google doesn't care about bla--messaging people). Theres even a rumor that they are harder on products they have to buy, i.e. the MT4G. Supposedly, they weren't given a free one by HTC/T-Mobile to review.

Joshua Topolsky is the worst offender of them all, imo. I absolutely groan every time I see a review by him. But anyway, this is offtopic and I hate being negative.

It really makes me sad how many bugs are in android 2.3 I really hope these are fixed soon or resolved if we are getting 3.0 soon.

Gingerbread calculator on the nexus S: unable to view calculation history due to lack of track ball/pad. Pretty big annoyance that should have been resolved prior to installing the app on a phone with no track pad.
[Nexus S General] royalsuen:
My Nexus S has a problem on the "auto brightness", it can't return to normal level after it auto adjusted to high level....it's only can return to normal when the screen timeout....

Anyone has same problem? or just a hardware problem on my Nexus S?
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
might want to add this.

[Nexus S General] Corvidd:
I haven't noticed any of the actual bugs (non responsive to taps etc) but I agree with most of the points. Better quality contact pictures, and just better contact sync in general would be nice.

It puzzles me that such a cool feature as integrating contacts from facebook, skype, twitter, last.fm etc into your main contacts isn't more hyped and demonstrated. Being able to tap the contact's picture anywhere to bring up other means of contact is so useful, why not develop the functionality into something really special? Hiding the sync away in a menu, not explaining that 3rd party apps e.g. Facebook need to be downloaded first, hiding the 'join' option (it should just be in the contact edit page, at least) all makes such a good feature become overlooked.

Digital zoom is not the heathen creature it is made out to be. I understand exactly how it works, and that you can just crop afterwards. But sometimes you just want to take a picture the way you want it right away.

Most of all, I'd like a complete overhaul of the UI. I don't know what I want it to look like, exactly, but that's not my job. I just want the looks to catch up with the soaring functioality. WP7 has many faults, but it is annoyingly pretty. If smartphone OS's were friends, Android would be the one dragging Symbian along just to have someone uglier than itself.
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
I'm surprised that nobody is mentioning the in call reset feature that my NS had. The NS would just reboot in the middle of a conversation for no reason. It happened several times a day. In other threads it has been noticed by many people and Google has started a special complaint thread about it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Never happened to me (yet)...could you link the Google complaint thread you're talking about? Is it something Google started, or something people reported on the Google code site?
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
Here is the link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13674

This thread also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880497 There are also other threads where people are complaining of this issue.

My NS was not rooted and completely stock running 2.3.1
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Right, okay, you confused me when you said a thread that Google started. Google didn't start that thread, some user did as a way of reporting the issue.

I'm not even sure Google has even looked at that yet...it's still marked as new, medium priority, no owner assigned...all the defaults every bug report gets until Google decides to take it seriously. They may have, but can't be sure. :(
[Nexus S General] andymason:
I've been experiencing the reboot issue too. It's very annoying. Four time in a row my call has been drop by the phone rebooting. Same situation:

Call number.

Talk for 5-10 minutes.

Silence.

Look at phone to see the Google logo and boot animation.

Repeat.

Some people, including Samsung support, have mentioned apps but I don't buy it. I've got nothing special installed, I've NOT rooted my phone, and anyway, apps are meant to be sandboxed:

For me, this is much worse than any SMS bug. The phone reboots mid-call.

I'd appreciate people staring the issue on the Google bug tracker, maybe that way it'll get some more attention.
[Nexus S General] chaval:
I dont think its a GB issue, not every NS has it. And there are other phones running AOSP 2.3 without that issue, N1 for example.

Well I could be SW, but affects only certain phones.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me, I would exchange or send the phone to get it fixed.

Thats like the main function of the "Phone" heh

Hope you'll get it fixed!

That's how it's meant to work, it will up the brightness as needed, but will only drop it when the screen is locked/unlocked. It's been that was since 2.2.

For my surprise my browser lag is gone today!!!

I just do not believe that most of the websites that I used to face MAJOR lag are now loading very nicely with almost zero lag! Including androidcental.com, slashgear.com and many mote!!

I am 99.9% positive that Google performed a silence update to the browser to fix this major bug!! No matter what they did the browser works just fine now!!

Browser is still shows at version 2.3.1 in the app manager.

Second, today as well I got the new Market, with a silence update again and it runs extremely fast as well. No lag what so ever! To be honest it feels the same or faster from the old market.

Market version is now 2.2.11!!

Double good news today!

[Nexus S General] mwburden:
Load Cyanogenmod?

Cyanogenmod gives you pretty fine-grained control over how auto-brightness works, and time-averages the sensor input to prevent annoying flickering (which, I presume, was the issue that caused Google to make Auto Brightness only go upwards.)
[Nexus S General] mwburden:
This issue has moved up a few notches since I've been watching it. It ALMOST passed the "Tasks on Calendar" issue yesterday, but then this morning the gap widened to 5 votes again.

I mentioned the issue in a couple other forums, and suddenly the gap is closing again. :D
[Nexus S General] nMIK-3:
Silent updates?? This is how they currently updating the Android Market with Silence Updates. And they used this method multiple times in the past. Nothing new about it..
[Nexus S General] Frostlord:
Hi all

Just to recap on the issues as stated by nMIK-3

1. Screen does not respond to the first/second touch after unlock.

2. Email app (not Gmail) does not zoom in/out. We are talking about a really bad experienced when displaying HTML emails.

3. Again for Mail app signature is not included when you create mail straight from Contacts.

4. SMS Delivery Reports are a MESS. Send SMS to a person getting delivery report pop-up for another completely unrelated number while the original message is still pending. We are talking about a disaster here lool

5. Also for the SMS Delivery reports. Pop up notification display the number and not the contact's name.

6. Many websites are causing the browser to act very slow for none reason. (with Flash activated or deactivated). Major example androidcentral.com. I found many websites that causing major lag on browser.

7. MMS are blurry as reported by many

8. Battery Never charge to 100% even if your phone displays 100% it drops to 97% once you unplug it. If I remember correctly I had the same problem with Nexus One.

9. Calendar Widget does not display "Today's" events

10. Google forgot to put Digital Zoom on Camera App. (And yes digital zoom is worthless but many people for some reason like it and miss it.)

11. Not really a bug, but if you notice on Gingerbread Google placed the keyboard 1cm above the bottom of the screen, is not located all the way to the bottom of the screen like previous Android versions. that 1cm is more than enought for me to hit blank screen and not the space bar when I am typing.

12. On keyboard you have to press and hold to select a smile icon. Then you need to keep holding your finger down until you actually select what you want.

13. There is not multiple select threats on messaging. So If I want to delete multiple threads I have to do it one by one...

14. Contacts Associated with Facebook Contacts have a really blurry really bad quality picture on caller id.

Wishlist:

1. We are on Android 2.3 and Google still doesn't giving us the option to install different locales. I mean not many people care for Language Menus but we do need the official Keyboard to add other freaking Languages. This is ridiculous...

2. Copy Paste is well improve but is very immature. Evey app use different method to generate copy and paste.

3. Hardware-wise the phone supports flawless 720p video recording. Why Google didn't include it?

4. The phone needs a native video-call app. Google needs to update Gtalk ASAP.

5. Called ID picture is way too small for this gorgeous 4 inch Super Amoled display.

if i miss anything that is already sorted, do let me know :D

Note on point 6:

i tried using NS youtube before but i did not experience any lag. this happens 4-5 days ago. Is this issue solved? Can anyone clarify on this?

by the way, i am using WiFi to connect to a 4G hotspot

[Nexus S General] Paparasee:
A friend that just got his NS told me that when you type an SMS, there is no "enter" key and therefore cannot move to the next line? Is that true?

Is there no % button in th calculator? Do we have to rely on "* 0.x" multiply by 0. whatever?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
True on both counts, no return in SMS and no % in calculator.
[Nexus S General] Paparasee:
Wonder why though? I can understand the % thing can be easily ignored by multiplying by 0.whatever, but no "enter" key ... how do they expect us to move on? My friend used handscent, but why do they not keep the same keyboard thoughout and want us to rely on 3rd party stuff for simple things such as these?

Thanks Rusty :)

[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
Hi folks, just one issue to add.

Sometimes when I conect NSN to my PC, it recognized and then nothing more happens. The notification slide disapears after that, and trying to conect again nor the phone recognizes it or the PC.

Happend 2 or 3 times (one earlyer) and I had to turn off and then turn on...

I think that maybe something with others apps that run before it... i dont know...

Anyone having this kind of issue?
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
Could be the update cleared your dalvik cache out something. I noticed lag had decreased slightly but to say there is none is a complete overstatement. The browser on the ns is pretty poor and you'd expect it to be better than froyo n1 - not worse.

And as for downloading, sometimes when downloading has completed, it's gone from the notification bar.. and it's not installed.. so I would have to download the app again.
[Nexus S General] Jibreil:
Voted immediately after reading your thread about keyboard issues :-)

After reading the entire thread, I feel you should emphasize on the 'Auto Correction / Quick Fixes' algorithm used by Android. The only reason people are faster on an iPhone Keyboard is for TWO reasons:-

1). The spacing between each keys / overall layout 2). The Auto Correction algorithm and the manner in which the 'word correction' options are provided to a user while typing.

Unless Apple has monetize that segment also by their stupid patents - then there's nothing Google can do about it - rather buy SwiftKey and use there keyboard app as stock
