[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Using fastboot, flash the custom recovery of your choice. Using that recovery, flash the custom GB ROM of your choice.
[Click General] Ihaveatattoo:
I have install Linux Installer 1.7 from market, looks pretty cool! :D

It is able to run (install?) Ubuntu on our phones. On startup it says that the kernel does not have EXT2 or EXT3 support. That is because i run froyo.

But it also needs LOOP features.

Now almost every ROM here support EXT2 and EXT3, but which supports LOOP features?

By the way, is it not possible to make froyo support real Linux partitions?:D

Just dropped my NS on the carpet... doesn't seem to have any cracks or damage... how durable is this phone? Should I be worried???
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Just going to go out and say, dont drop it on anything that isnt carpet
[Nexus S General] brianbrain:
Dropped mine on a tile floor from around 5'5"...not even a scratch...ymmv...
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I wouldn't risk dropping it again. If it bothers you then buy a case when they start releasing. I suggest case mate or otterbox.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Carpet is nothing.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Agreed. A concrete sidewalk will produce different outcomes.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
You're using it wrong.

:p
[Nexus S General] nxt:
I throw my Nexus S across the room onto my bed.

No cracks, scratches or anything else. Should I be worried? Will my bed break?

How durable is the phone in this scenario?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I have hard wood floors in my house, and i used to toss my phone onto my bed, until it bounced off....onto the floor
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
That's why you gotta do a lateral spin toss on the bed. The spin will prevent the phone from bouncing off to far/high.
[Nexus S General] krosemm:
I dropped mine about 5 feet onto hardwood, not a single scratch. Already ordered screen protector since there's no gorilla glass :-(
[Nexus S General] dinan:
If the screen quality is the same as the Nexus One's or the MT4G's (both of which don't have gorilla glass) then I'm not worried about scratching it since I've put my N1 through hell and the screen is still flawless.

What the NS has that the N1 doesn't, however, is the oleophobic coating, which seems to be half-assed, not like the iPhone's. I've already noticed a few spots where it's worn off, and I'm quite certain it'll be the same no matter how many times I exchange it. That's the only reason I'd get a screen protector... to prevent the coating from rubbing off, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the coating in the first place doesn't it. Also, a screen protector would look ugly as hell on the NS since the edges are rounded and the screen protector wouldn't stick there, causing lost of dust build up.
[Nexus S General] Kristoferallen:
I dropped my Nexus S on concrete and it landed on its face. I picked it up and there wasn't a single scratch on the display because of the curved screen. There was only scratches on the outside of the display where the plastic is. I was amazed. Took it to Best Buy and got a new one though cause I hate having any scratches at all.
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
Everything should be fine but I suggest you buy a case
[Nexus S General] Kah-Neth:
No it won't. Found this out a few days ago. Phone fell onto concrete from my pocket. I was a little panicky as checked the phone, but after a quick check, there was no damage.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Is that the best buy geek squad protection plan? Is there a deductable?
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Because one instance is representative of all possible outcomes.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
I dropped my phone on accident cuz it slipped out of my phone clip, when i picked it up it had a small deep scratch on the screen and another slight scratch. it fell on tile and happened on new years eve before the countdown. I was pissed, but what the hell, that's why I have bb's black tie protection ;) for now i'm just enjoying the helll out of it, then i'll return it for another when I feel like making the trip.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
Nope, $0 deductible, even if it's YOUR fault. Only loss/theft isn't covered that I know of..
[Nexus S General] tks989:
gonna get a silicone back for when i'm using it around the house
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
One of the dumbest posts I read on xda in months....I think you should be worried more about this than your phone
[Nexus S General] angryoaf:
I dropped mine on concrete while walking.... it did a tumble end over end then landed face down and slid about 3 feet into the street...

My heart almost stopped!!

There is one very small nick on a corner but its barely noticeable and not even so much as a smudge on the glass where it skated for a few feet.

Compare that to my Nexus One that fell in a similar manor on the same damn street... and ended up with a much larger dent on the side, and a piece of the phone inside under the battery cover near the camera popped up. I had to pull the cover off and force the piece back down.

Everyone keeps saying that the NS feels cheap compared to the N1 but I call bull****. It seems to be a more of a matter of perception than any real quality issues. Everything in the NS, from the electronic components (especially the the touch screen) used to the outer casing blows the N1 out of the water.
[Nexus S General] voyager_s:
Gotta be careful man...i dropped mine in the carpark the other night. Just fell out my pocket as i got out the car. Could have been horrible but luckily it landed safely on the back cover. No damage done. Seems to be strong phone. Thank God
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
A tip: just don't drop it xD

don't wear it in pants it can fall out of(when in 90-100 degrees or lower)

wear it in pockets with a zipper or any other way that closes it.

:P i know,logical but w/e xD
[Nexus S General] bluedevil121:
Are there replacement back covers available? If so, where can one order them? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Not yet.
[Nexus S General] bluedevil121:
Oh OK. Thanks for the reply. Ü
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
My sister dropped mine from about 6-8" onto her wooden dining room table (it is fine, thankfully). Next morning I bought the SquareTrade warranty :)

DONT DROP!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
just last night i dropped mine on carpet as well

everything seems well for the time being
[Nexus S General] booyakasha:
lol glad I'm not the only one that does this, it's all in the technique :p
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
I been seeing people talk about these SquareTrade warranties, and wasn't sure what they were all about, since most warranties seem like rip offs to me. I was surprised to see it was only $99 for 2 year warranty, w/ no deductible, and it covers drops, spills, pretty much anything.

For $99 it seemed well worth the piece of mind. I just ordered one :)

edit: woops, just read it is $50 deductible for ADH cell phones.. could have sworn it said somewhere there was none.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
darn it, i dropped mine like 5 times today, all the times was because of the gloves

the sleek design is tooooooo slipery with gloves on

really need that rubber / silicon skin case
[Nexus S General] jblparisi:
I can't believe some of you are that concerned about dropping a cell phone as sturdy as the Nexus S on a CARPET. You all realize that it has no built in moving parts, right? It might be something to be concerned if you have one of the classic iPods that have the built in mechanic Hard Drives, otherwise i don't see what the big deal is.

That reminds me about the post with the guy that was too scared to apply a screen protector on the NS, and who knows why. :confused:
[Nexus S General] nxt:
I think most of our replies are sarcastic, I know mine was.
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
I dropped (threw downward) mine earlier while in Starbucks. Call me crazy, but I thought I had inserted it in my front pants pocket and down it went. It was the loudest sound in the place. It landed on its face. Luckily the screen isn't cracked / scratched. This is one durable device!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
"sturdy" ...

i have to agree with other people in regards to using PLASTIC for the shell body, when it comes to DROPING the phone :p

all my past phones are usually retired due to being dropped to the point of no return :D

a metal body will be considered sturdy, these kinds of plastic body, i have my doubts about them ;)
[Nexus S General] icandy75:
It's simple physics really. Plastic absorbs and displaces shock, metal on the other hand transfers shock to softer components (like internals and glass screens). Why do you think car manufacturers no longer use steel bumpers like the 70's? Think of it like this, would you rather get hit in the head by an aluminum bat or a plastic one? The plastic bat disperses kinetic energy therefor softening the impact on your head.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Plastic also creaks, unfortunately. Anyone else hearing a click sound when they press on the bottom of the phone: on the bottom cover, next to the USB plug (opposite of the headphone jack). I hear creaking and sometimes a click when I press down (not even hard) on that area.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
nope,not me

might be because my back looks like this(maybe diff material?)

bought ti for cheap 460 euros(official dutch nexus s(with SLCD) gonna be 714)
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
What pisses me off is how easy it is to scratch. Even with plastidip and case on the phone I couldn't stop a couple little spots on the shiny black bezel from getting marks. I hate scratches. Droid x isn't my cup of tea as a phone but never seems to scratch when you take care of it.

Guess ifs normal. After keeping my g1 pristine, I've been unable to keep the vibrant, mytouch4g, or my nexus s from getting some kind of mark, even with protective films and hard and soft cases. No drops either. Maybe I'm just cursed.
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
Mine does the same exact thing. That kinda bothered me too..
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
About that creaking noise on the bottom of the phone I have noticed it to on my first NS that I returned ,and on the one i have now.
[Nexus S General] pandoruh:
glass?

what kind of glass does the ns have? not gorilla? :confused::eek::mad:
[Nexus S General] chris6278:
Its going to be impossible to keep this phone scratch free because its plastic with no soft coating like the n1. I already have a bunch of fine scratchs on the back an bezel an i even use a case
[Nexus S General] insanemachine:
Lucky bastard. You have the limited edition back that has the android logo on the back. I think the google employees has one that looks like that as well.
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
So I was at my cousins house and he accidentally dropped his HD7 after chuckling at him for a while I walk into his room and my phone goes flying off my hand (dam plastic) luckily my phone did not get any scratches on the screen. Can't say the same for the HD7 lol
[Nexus S General] avetny:
dude where i can buy it this back ? :)
[Nexus S General] shata:
Kinda unless thread imho, droping cell is a no no anyways why ask about it.
[Nexus S General] Ulver:
Same thing with mine too.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
I can official conclude the screen for the nexus S SUCKS as far as durability. Yes, the superAMOLED is stunning and gorgeous, but the screen just sucks. My first drop, I get a deep scratch. I say, ok no sweat. Today, i accidentally dropped my phone on tile and it landed softly and got a slight crack across the entire screen. With every drop something happens to it. Dam u samsung for not including gorilla glass on the S :mad: But, on the bright side, I'm glad I opted for that black tie protection because it will be goin back for repair for $0 ;) :D
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
Nexus S doesn't have the gorilla glass protection

only the Galaxy S line have it
[Nexus S General] jroid:
I know that. Read my comment closer to see I've already stated that

Good Day,

There is a forum that is all russian which hosts the cab 7z_v.9.20.cab on the following page: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=69426 which requires registration to download attachments.

I tried for about 2 hours to register on that site using translation services but I am always stuck at the translation of the calculation captcha.

Can anyone upload the cab elsewhere or post it to xda developers please?

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone try to hard reset your HD2 NAND? It doesn't work on a few NAND ROM here. Please report.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can only think that you're doing something wrong when you try to hard reset, as the ROM cannot affect that at all. It's not running at that point.

Can you explain what you're doing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cuibap:
I tried to remove some apps in the system\app folder and now it's all screwed up and don't want to re-flash it. In Winmo, I just hard reset and everything is back right to the original ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
The easiest thing is probably to flash the ROM again. With the phone off, hold down the power button till you get the magldr menu and select USB flash. Plug in the cable and reflash.

Edit: Actually, I take it back. I don't know if the usual hard reset method would work with a flashed Android ROM. I actually doubt it would. Either way, the above advice still stands.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cuibap:
Thanks John. I reflashed any way but in Winmo, flashed many times and the hard reset worked everytime (either in software or hold both volume key and power on). Just wonder why it doesn't work with android. The user data must not be stored in the supposed partition, I guess.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Braakie:
I think you can flash the rom again, it will ask if you want to keep the old settings. I'm not sure, but had read something in the HD2 android topic. There is an AD Hardreset option in magldr menu.

It didn't hack the camera. It didn't remove startup/shutdown sounds.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] _atlien_:
The camera hack lets you take photos by pressing the hardware power button instead of shaking your photo trying to press the onscreen 'shoot' button. Only thing is that the sgstools apk linked in this thread does not seem to actually contain the camera hack. At least not as of five minutes ago. Which is too bad cuz I really want it back after upgrading to Nero 4.1.

Ok, I downloaded a custom kernel via the ROM manager app on the Vibrant's stock rom. Since then, haven't been able to do anything. It still can into recovery mode. I made a back up but that hasn't work.

Plus the boot screen changed. It says the usual Galaxy S logo but along with that, it now says GT-I9000 below that.

Any ideas on what should I do?
