[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slapinfunk:
whiping the phone clean and brining it back today...

I have not added any new software... It still randomly turns off and restarts durig phone calls...

I rarely make phone calls but this is an issue I simply can not and should not have to deal with...

I made 3 phone calls today, and each one a few minutes into the call it shut down and restarted with no warning...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
The restart problem seems to be limited in scope. A number of people have it, but many others (myself included) don't. That leads me to believe it's a production flaw in certain batches of Nexus S phones. If that's the main complaint you have, I suggest an exchange. The lack of a notification LED is another matter. There are workarounds (see previous posts by other fine people), but if it's important to you, yeah, there just isn't one. *shrug*
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
you mean "thanks" google.

Its all software issues, at least i think
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slapinfunk:
No LED is not an issue any more infact, NoLED solved the problem...

I noticed, it happens shortly after walking out of a building...

At this point, and after going to CES this week, I am going to want something else, would rather not deal with this phone again. Besides my dropped call issue its a great phone...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
Yeah, if you're a hardware junkie, I expect the Nexus S will look pretty lame by the time the CES is over. For those who want a vanilla Android stock experience, though, no number of cores is likely to pull them away. It's all about priorities, and it's good to know what you want, whatever that may be. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slapinfunk:
well see, its a few minutes before I can leave and go to BB...

On my nexus one now, the only thing I miss on it is Swype, which I can still install...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matterhorn:
I returned my NS. NoLed kept doing a foreclosure. The NS was doing a reboot in the middle of phone calls...hated that. I also missed the noise canceling that my N1 has, I'm back to my trusty N1.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
You should try another device, as your Nexus S was probably defective.

The Nexus One isn't perfect either, for instance, mine suffered from misaligned touch buttons, a screen that would wig out for no reason periodically(registering touches where were none), generally weak 3G signal(to the point where I couldn't send/recieve texts/phone calls in areas where other phones were fine, including the Nexus S).

On a related note, I'm highly amused by people who think that the Nexus One was perfect.

EDIT: To elaborate, I've never had a single issue with any phone call I've ever received/sent on the Nexus S. One of my places of business is a nearly cell phone black hole. Something in the constructive of the building screws with incoming/outgoing signals. My Nexus One, my Droid on Verizon, and my boss AT&T iPhone all struggled with it. But the Nexus S takes it on the chin. I only get an EDGE signal inside, but never had any issue with phone calls of text messages.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Agreed the Nexus One was far from perfect, in fact, it drove me nuts with all its quirks, many of the same you had. Misaligned buttons, wonky touchscreen, AMOLED screen useless in any sunlight. Mine has a very strong 3G receiver, though. It was quickly replaced as my main phone when the i9000 came out, and the N1 had been serving as just a modem for my laptop for the last 6 months.

The no notification LED just doesn't bug me the way it does others. Maybe because I was on iPhones for three years before going Android, and the iPhones don't have them either...? It's just something I never got used to using, so I don't miss it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corvidd:
The lack of an led is annoying, especially considering how little extra it would have cost to install.

On a side note, I didn't want to make a whole topic on this but had anyone noticed what looks like a tiny camera inside the back of the phone? Remove the back, and check out the brass colored bit just above the middle screw, right of the battery. Looks like a tiny lens. If I'm being really stupid and its just a reset button or something then let me know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
No, that's not a camera, it's an MCX antenna jack. We're discussing it and its possible purpose in another thread...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost010:
serous? LED? who needs LED notification's?

put it on sound or vibration.

no need for led.

never had LED on all my mobile phones.

and dont feel the need for it.

its an unimportant feature.

only problem i had with nexus S

sins 2.3.1

that the stock launcher crashes some times(to often)

but with ADW i dont have any problem at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Well, I wouldn't presume to tell others what is and isn't important to them. We all have different priorities, which is why there are so many models of phones that are successful.

If there were truly one set of features that were and were not important, we'd have a single solution device that everyone and their brother would want for a cellphone, something like, you know, the iPhone... LOL!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corvidd:
Unimportant? I miss it.

So you leave your phone on your desk, and while you're out of the room you receive a text/email/call, when you return you have no idea that its happened, the phone shows no sign and you could miss it for hours.

Whereas with led, you come back in and a light is blinking at you, telling you to check your phone, and you see your notifications.

That's why its important.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matterhorn:
Don't get me wrong, the Nexus One isn't perfect by any means. Yes, the buttons were misaligned, but that just takes a few days to get used to it. There are many things that are not perfect about the N1, you have to hold it at the top rather than at the bottom to not block the antennae in weak signal areas. I might have kept the NS if it hadn't started resetting itself in the middle of phone calls, this is a deal breaker and many people have complained about it. I absolutely missed the LED notification, I need to be able to look at my phone across the room and know that I don't need to respond to a message, otherwise I'm picking it up for no reason several times a day.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slapinfunk:
Well, Phone is returned as of yesturday. Took home almost $400 cash as well as a 2nd LED Monitor for my computer at home...

Using the Nexus ONE again, and I really must say, the only thing the NS has on the N1 is the 2.3 OS... I really miss the power off screen animation... and you know what... THATS ABOUT IT...

I have Solar Winds live wall paper installed on my N1 and it runs just as smooth.

Scrolling on the N1 is not as smooth and clear as the NS, but I have perfect WiFi signal in all the places the NS did not, and my calls do not drop / phone restart during a call...

Its nice having the N1 Desktop Dock again.

the N1 phone was very advanced for its release so much that the new phones just are not topping it yet... It is nothing like the difference between the G1 and G2, or the MyTouch and MyTouch 4G... those phones have considerable upgrades and performance differences...

I can still do quick edits in Final Cut Pro through Log Me In to save me a trip home on the N1 just as on the NS... Really the only thing I miss about the NS is the Power Button placement on the Side... I do not automatically turn on the phone while pulling it out of my pocket...

Ill be at CES this weekend, I am sure I will see something else...

But really, for over a year a phone to still more than compete with the competition is a pretty big step up from devices of 2 years ago...

By the way... I paid full price for the N1 and NS... I also qualified for a full upgrade but BB was not able to see it in their system... So if T-Mo comes out with something worth wile, I may take a look into it... Not holding my breath on that though...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost010:
okey,dont get me wrong.

but isn't a mobile phone,being mobile because you can take it any where?

oke,i understand.letting it rest on your desktop or w/e for charging.but apart from that.

i take my phone to almost every where.

and if i let it at a place,when i come back.

i always check if i had a message.

might be a handy tip to remember?

always check your phone when your back?

some app's dont even use LED notification.

so how would you know,if you got something (message or w/e) on that app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I think the message here is, "Sleeping notifications (LED or otherwise) may or may not be important depending how you use your phone."

This does not seem to me an issue of right and wrong, but user habits and preference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rzaratin:
Is there any way to disable this "TV off animation" when NoLed blinks?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
I think the only way to do that is to disable the screen-off animation all together. If you're running CM you can do that through CMSettings. If not, you can disable all animations through Android Settings. Or, if you have Spare Parts, you can speed up animations which will disable the screen-off one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
My apartment is literally surrounded on all sides by trees. Actually, to be completely honest, I live in the middle of an extremely dense rain forest. No one gets very good cell reception where I live. The best place in my house to get service is on our couch, so my wife and I more often than not just leave it there. Sure, sometimes I forget to check it for a bit but the same was true with every other phone I've owned, notification LED or not. I would personally agree that its a very minor inconvenience at worst but if getting your notifications is really that important to you then you have options: 1) Get a different phone. Its not my intent to be mean, but if you absolutely need notification LEDs then a different phone is the best choice. 2) Don't leave you phone places. 3) Make a point of checking your phone whenever you leave it somewhere for extended periods of time.

[Galaxy Tab General] eug4udude:
I am wondering about creating a ROM build that resides on the external SD card that can be booting into to get access the the calling feature without flashing the native ROM. I have the HTC HD2 with windows mobile 6.5. I have downloaded many Android ROM builds to my external SD card for it and the builds work..though there are glitches. I was thinking that doing this for the Tablet might be a safe alternative until a more permanent fix of the native ROM can be made.

I had a tablet that I had successfully flashed to get calling feature but wiped my IMEI and serial number. So I ended up returning it. Now, I just purchased a new one and thought that using that external SD for the OS would be workable. Novice I am, can't changes be made to the orginal OS as the phone/dialer software is already there? Perhaps just a code some how to unlock it?

And thanks for all the hard work guys!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skull Drome:
hi guys,

Just noticed last night, my desire hd seems to be really slow on the uptake to check for new sms messqges, and when it foes receive some, it receives them after newer messages that he contact has sent. Would this be a software problem, or is it a problem with my signal strength and the fact I had mobile data on at that point? If it helps, I was only getting strength enough to use gprs, not even edge.

Cheers in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BetaZaP:
I had the same problem with my HD2, and wrote to HTC about it. They said that I should turn off time sync in settings gsm/umts.. and it works
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skull Drome:
Oh, wow. No clue that it would've been that. Cheers for that, will hopefully see a difference now. :)

(and can any android owners just confirm that this would be the setting under Settings>Date & Time>Automatic (Use network-provided values), please?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cartier23:
It cant be.

I have automatic time in Data & Time unchecked but still getting wrong order if two messages have the same hour and minuts. This is the problem of HTC sense and probably can not be corrected without their update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VladimirC:
I second that, I checked it off and still the incoming txts are dated 5 hrs earlier than my local time.

I called HTC customer service and they assured that the issue is with the cell tower, it sends the message to my device dated 5 hrs earlier

( in other words its the Carrier's fault ).

So, I called Rogers and their Rep. notified me that its a well known issue with android and was addressed with the 2.2 update for rogers devices. ( My DHD is Telus branded )

Then, I called Telus and they basically told me to to stick my phone into the area where the sun don't shine :)

( The rep did tell me that she had no Telus customers reporting this issue for this device )

Thus, according to my logic, HTC will issue a fix for this only if Telus customers start receiving their incoming txts stamped 5 hrs earlier
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinSkam1994:
It Works for me

Mine was doing exactly the same as yours :confused: I checked and saw that my network's times were ten minutes ahead of the actual time, so messages you sent, your phone says you sent it 10 minutes after you did, so when your phone receives messages, it puts them before chronologically as it records it by the phone time...very odd :rolleyes:...But yes, I disabled it and set the time myself to the actual one, and the messages corrected themselves. Very helpful, thank you :D :D :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meatboy42:
I had this issue too, but using a 3rd party messaging app like GoSMS did the trick for me. I set the messaged to 'order chronologically' instead of 'ordered by time'.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
Search SMS Time Fix in the market (icon is a bandaid)

Can you use the mobile internet on your phone?

I would start with a ##786# and reset.

[You'll need the MSL to do so, use MSL reader from the app market, requires root]

Uploaded the APK in case you can't access the market.

I would try what is said in the post below first but if that doesn't work I would try this route.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Youll need to update your wireless profile and PRL and it should come back. Mine did that too after I was done testing it, it could be either the ROM or the recovery since they are both new. That should fix you up there but if it doesn't just shoot me a msg and help you figure out what is causing it.

Whats the easiest way to flash That file? And have you tested it or am I testing it out?? :) Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
I think what we are looking at here, is a new Evo owner. Unless you are paying sprint for the mobile hotspot plan $29.99/mo extra on your bill, you cannot tether unless you flash a tether hack, or flash a custom rom that has tethering unlocked. You will always receive error 67 unless you either unlock your tethering by paying sprint their fee, or flashing a fix for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1D3show:
So is the sprint lovers Rom tethering unlocked? Or hacked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Err, wait a min. You are right. I think he if trying to use sprints tethering.

I don't think it is unlocked in sprint lovers, you'll bed to user the wireless tether app instead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1D3show:
Mmmkay.

So I flashed the Calkulins evo tethering fix(above). I dont get any more error 67 msg, But My computer doesnt seem to find the connection anymore. It found before with limited connectivity b4 the .Zip flash. No connectivity really, but it was there. Any New drivers needed?

Also tried the ##3282# made it to edit then it asked for a password. My profile password has letters, Keyboard for password entry only has numbers.. What password is it looking for.

I am using (trying to at least) Wi-fi-tether, wi-fi-hotspot. Phone is set to USB tethering mode. Usb debugging off.

Found that easy-tether works, could just pay for the upgrade.. Anybody know how ET compares to wi-fi-tether?

Thank you to everyone! I don't know exactly why but, USB tethering works now. Calkulins .Zip file was Key to getting rid of error MSG.
