[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
on my fifth here from carphonewarehouse ( nottingham )..

1st - back button responding bad, battery die too quick

2nd - dead pixel, back button responding bad, battery die too quick, phone rebooted on it's own, phone crashed... had to pull out battery, when charging after shutdown of android... phone would not turn on after fully charged... had to take out battery, battery over heating

3rd - touch screen was working on it's own... meaning I wasn't touching the screen but things were happening

4th - back button responding bad

5th - battery dying to quickly but asked if I could swap the battery and they were fine with it...

I spoke to the same guy through the entire time... since the first NS... I asked for him :p... when I went back to the store with the 2nd, he said to me "I won't do the exchange until your happy with one" which I said "cool"... there I am at the store with the 3rd, 4th and 5th for the next 3 hours or so :p

so yeah my fifth here and happy with it now...

I have the screen crease but little and it seems to be common thing amongst the NS's and it doesn't bother not affect my phone in anyway ( excluding appearance at certain angles which I'm not at the majority of the time ) :p

It's stuff like this why I keep my beautifu, sturdyl Nexus One. Samsung quality just blows. I can't believe the quality of Nexus S. Oh well back to lurking
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
that picture looks like a used phone.

as if some one dropped it by accident and hit something before it landed
[Nexus S General] chrisharmful:
I would like to agree with you but mine hasn't had one isssue. Screen is scratch free, no loose buttons or fit, no bubbles or creases.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Oh yeah and the Nexus One had no problems whatsoever when it was first released. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
LOL My thoughts exactly :D . It's why I didn't bother replying to him/her
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Often when a phone is defective, it's from a batch of phones that are defective. And since they don't shuffle the deck, as it were, before sending them out, if you get one bad phone from Location A, the chances are significantly increased that any replacement you get from that same location will also be defective until they (and potentially their warehouse) run out and get an entirely new batch to start selling. It's extremely frustrating if you find yourself caught in this situation, and if you get two or three lemons in a row that's a pretty good sign there's a problem with the whole lot. In that case it's often not a bad idea, if feasible, to just do a return and try elsewhere, or wait a month and go back. Of course, some people are just really, really unlucky. >.>
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Both NS I bought on release day were just fine.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
No way, the plastic was still on it. I believe it to be a manufacturing defect. A drop would have created a different mark.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Got mine a few day after release and zero issues to report.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
That is definitely something weird!

Care to explain polarization, vibration, and battery door plastic bubble issues? I've never heard of these.

I'm on my 2nd NS, whereas my first had back button issues. I've checked the manufacturing date and 1st one was made on 12/18 while the 2nd was made 12/19.

My 2nd one still has some issues such as the infamous screen crease (I don't care really), loose volume rocker, and purple tint on grays at low brightness. I figured I don't want to exchange again and risk the chance that I might get a unit with even more problems.
[Nexus S General] thejron:
So the crease is normal? Was gonna take it back..
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
all of the above issues aside

I'll suggest you to order a new one ONLINE

then return this one to the store

Seems like the ones that get shipped out direct from Best Buy warehouse are in pristine conditions

all the ones you went through from the store, seems to have been handed down from previous "owners"

or as other said, it might have just been a really bad batch that arrived to your Best Buy
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
False.

My first one was ordered online on 12/27. It had back button issues and the screen crease.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
point well taken :p

man... all these defective phones, i hope BB doesn't re-stock them and try to sell them.

all the bad ones should be sent back to Samsung
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I keep reading about this screen "crease". Does anyone have a picture to help me understand? I've got a NS with zero defects or issues.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
I'm curious too
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
If you look at the area near the sensors, FFC, and ear piece, and draw a horizontal line though them, have some light reflected on that, you will see that the curve of the screen sorta "ends" and then starts again. Meaning this whole "curved screen" feature isn't perfectly curved.

Here's the original poster:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9872091&postcount=5

It is really a matter of preference and how OCD you are. Just pure cosmetic like the marks that the OP's new "7th" NS has,
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
uuuhhhhh.... & eewwwwww...

now i know exactly what you meant

thanks lord my SNS does not have that manufacture defect
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
Can somebody (like the OP) post a picture of this "near-perfect" Nexus S that doesn't have the screen crease? I've also been through a total of 4 Nexus S's in my household and I think all of them have had the screen crease. I just assumed that's just the way it is.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
No disrespect intended to anyone, because when you spend $600 for a product, you should expect it to be defect free, but I've never seen a phone with so many OCD like complaints as our SNS phones from so many users. I guess I'm just lucky with my devices. The only one I've ever had noticeable, return-worthy, defects on was my EVO 4G, which had the screen start separating from the body of the phone just 13 days after purchase.

My SNS is pretty damn near perfect on the hardware, no funky buttons, no creases in the glass that I can discern, etc. :)
[Nexus S General] Fuse8499:
I don't see any crease at all. I bought mine from a Google employee (it has the battery cover with all of the little Android dudes on it). I do seem to have the random reboot issue though.
[Nexus S General] Menace II Society:
So I'm NOT crazy after all.. lol.

I went in today to exchange mine because I have that crease in my screen too and the employee told me that it's on all of them because she took out another that happened to have it too. So I said screw it.. I guess they all come like that.. until this thread.

*Shakes fist at Samsung and Best Buy*

I'm going back to a different Best Buy. That lady look like she wasn't interested in being helpful I literally had to point the crease out to her and then she goes from not being able to see it to "they all come like that".
[Nexus S General] selectormoldy:
The guy at my store said they ship them back.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Exactly. I'm new to the Android world, but I've never seen and heard so many issues with a brand new phone. My old Blackberry Bold was perfect from day 1. None of this screen BS. After 2 years of abuse, the screen is finally acting up.

FYI, my screen has a "crease" but it isn't as noticeable as the one shown in the other thread.
[Nexus S General] thepoetvd776:
Quick question,

If you go to Best Buy and exchange the nexus because of a fault (bad screen, etc) when they give you a new one, will they add and additional 30 day return period to that phone?

You know, just in case you have to return it again.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
^^^

As far as I know, it doesn't work that way.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
well.. the OP has 2 options

1- either return it. and hunt again for another phone. which...#@$# pain in the ass

2- pay extra cash by going to samsung center and tell them to replace the cover of the nexus S " he might try his luck to get them it replaced for free"

honestly. if you love this phone to death and you dont want to wait for optimus 2x or new atrix or even the new samsung phones that are going to be annouced next month " along with htc phones ofcourse " , then go for option 2.

if not, then just return it and wait for the new phones around the corner. hell the optimus 2x is coming out this month even
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
your name is familier,, did you used to go to ign boards and/or neogaf ? loll

and god. i hate when people who work as best buy or any store like this. i have suffered the same problem with one of the apple guys. " they all come like that " is something an employee should get fired if he said it :/
[Nexus S General] barmanham:
Any idea how much they charge to change the incall speaker
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
no idea how much about the fees they will take for installing it. but the part it self shouldnt be more than 20$. its just a speaker. but dont quote me on it bro
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
So many options man. I know there are so many different, (and in some people's opinons) better devices coming out soon, but none of them will have a stock android experience, and that's all I want. Plus I don't have AT&T anymore to get an Atrix, and I wont have AT&T ever again.

Samsung center... where is that? I think it would be too much work for that. If it bugs me enough I'll just swap it, or return it if these "Nexus S Plus" rumors are true. Bleh.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Holy ****. 7? I am on my original.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
Some of us were unlucky. Maybe we got a bad batch like someone mentioned earlier: p
[Nexus S General] Sebastian768:
Hmmm http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/12/samsung-gt-i9023-hits-fcc-a-new-version-of-the-nexus-s-with-and/

New version number and new approval from FCC. Perhaps all these issues are to blame.

At least all the Nexus S available from pre-order here in Norway are i9023.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Lets hope it's just something as minor as a build quality fix. There's so much speculation though, it's hard to tell.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i have serious doubt about that :p

we've seen other pictures and other similar topics with phones that were clearly used, and returned, then put back onto the regular inventory

like the guy that had the screen smudges, or the other guy that had apps installed that should be there, etc...
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Maybe it would be smart to return and buy online. That would ensure no one tampered with it. I could see best buy doing something like that. Although, the other night when I was doing the return, the employee did package it up and it had shipping labels on the front, to Samsung's central return center.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevilMayLaughXD:
Im going to change to a 32GB or 16GB microsd card since the 8gb comes with the device is a little too less for me,so some questions here..

what to notice before i buy the card?

is there some card which is slow some is faster?

and what apps i need to use to backup my apps on the card im using right now.

and last, I did register the premium navigation with the voucher given , so the license in on my device or my card?

thanks in advance :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengork:
Just copy all the files from your current card to the new card via a PC. I did this with MyPhoneExplorer full SD card backup and copied the files back to a new card via Windows explorer.

Speed wise it depends on the class rating of the new card. There's a post with SD card benchmarks on the forum here.
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
Is already available a usable flash player for Folio100? If yes, where? Does any of the mods contain it? Until now I can not play flash videos on my Folio, Is it my fault? pls. inform me.

Thanks, sandor37
[Folio 100 General] smireneuf:
You can find flash player in the latest foliomod by dexter and if you have the original toshiba rom you can find it in this forum. Both are bêta ones so there are some crashs sometimes but work pretty good for games like angry birds or watching some videos on YouTube and so.

Edit if you install foliomod do not try to install the one from the market. The one in v1.3c works And if you want try the first bêta one.
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
Thank you. I've tried these, but found that some items on youtube can not be played, others can. What is the reason for that?
[Folio 100 General] tshoulihane:
Your question is back to front. That is probably the reason that this is a BETA release of the flash plugin. BETA is a software engineering term that means a product works most of the time, but is not reliable enough to be offered to the general public. (compared to ALPHA, which works some of the time if you are lucky, and RELEASE which is incrementally better than BETA by an amount depending on the standards of the company making the release).
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
Again thanks for the response.

Now I succesfully installed the mod v1.3d. Everything(?) works well but flash. I think that is the reason why when I am trying to install Angry Bird, after a while it says: "unsuccessful installation". Several other apps and games could be installed and work well, but Angry Bird.

What do you think, what is the reason?
[Folio 100 General] tshoulihane:
did you start with a factory reset?
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
No, I simply made a system update. Can this be the reason?

Shall I repeat the procedure: first a system recovery, and after a system update, well?
[Folio 100 General] SinDeus:
Angry Birds is not a Flash game, it is a native Android application.

I do not think that your Flash plugin is the culprit here, I would also (like tshoulihane) recommend to do a factory reset. I definitively think that would be the reason.
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
Thanks.

I have just repeated the update process: first factory reset, after v.1.3d update. The result is the Angry Birds run OK, but no flash-oriented videos. Eg. on BBC's homepage all videos I tryed to play responded: "You have not the correct version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download from here....". If I try to download, it says "this is for Linux." Some you tube videos however can be playes.

Therefore my question is again:Which flash playes can be used with Folio? That included in the different mod versions seem not applicable for general flash videos.

What is you experience with playing BBC-videos?

Regards: Sandor
[Folio 100 General] smireneuf:
You must use default browser or dolphin hd if you want to see flash video it does not work with other one i try such as opera or Firefox
[Folio 100 General] Sandor37:
This was a very important info. I checked and fnow lash is working at last!!

Hey everybody

I searched forever and didn't find anything. My problem is a Cognex DataMan 7550 (barcode scanner) which establishes a Bluetooth connection to its base station. I want to bypass that and just get it connected to my htc hd2. I talked to the guys from Cognex tech support and they gave me a step by step installation for Windows xp (using a Dell notebook with Bluetooth) and it works there to pair it. However, if I try it on the htc, I can't connect because I have to put in a key to pair (on Windows I don't). Has anyone an idea how to establish a bluetooth connection on the hd2 without a key?

Thanks a lot!

The Name of the Device on Bluetooth is Taiyo SPP which I guess refers to the manufacturer of the bluetooth antenna and the profile.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcrash:
Hello all,

I have an i9000 running:

PDA: I9000XWJPA

PHONE: I9000XXJPP

CSC: I9000XEFJP3

Build Info: 2010.10

According to the firmwares linked in samfirmware.com, this seems to be the following firmware

I9000XWJPA ##	803.PIT	Version 2.2	2010 October	DOWNLOAD	1 file select NO .PIT

As many people reports that XXJPY is faster, I'd like to upgrade my cellphone to this newer version. However, samfirmware.com states

I9000XXJPY ##	512.PIT	Version 2.2.1	2010 December	DOWNLOAD	1 file select NO .PIT

So, the PIT file is different. What does this represent in terms when upgrading using ODIN? Can I perform this upgrade safely from my current firmware?

In that webpage there are two warnings: "Please when you have only one file SKIP RE-PARTITION!" && "Use only .PIT files if you have 3 files!" However, I have a different PIT file in my current firmware, so I suppose I have to use the 512.PIT file even having only one file. But what about the rest of files? And... when changing the PIT file, should I repartition & wipe my phone?

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seltaeb:
Try without re-partitioning, it should work. If it does not you can always re-flash with re-partition (using the 512.PIT).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcrash:
Succeeded!

Hello all,

first of all, thank you admins for moving this thread into the appropiate subforum :)

I want to share my experience about the successfull upgrading my phone into XXJPY just in case anyone is looking for the same.

First, I downloaded the XXJPU & XXJPY firmwares from the samfirmware.com and also ODIN 1.3. I installed successfully XXJPU firmware on my phone using ODIN through the cellphone download mode. I set Repartition, I chose the 512-PIT and the 3 files (PDA, MODEM and CSC). The ODIN process took approx 3 mins and the time needed for the phone to reboot was not exhagerated (2-3 mins?).

Then I upgraded my phone to XXJPY in a bad way. I reopened ODIN, I checked repartition, I chose the 512-PIT and put the XXJPY single file into PDA. After upgrading, the phone was not able to boot fine. It showed some strange error when booting only the first time, and after that, every boot turned into showing the Samsung logo endlessly.

So, I reflashed XXJPU as described before. And then flashed XXJPY using the 512-PIT, without checking repartition and I set the PDA file to be the .tar file downloaded from the firmwares webpage. After that, the flash took about 3 mins, and again the first boot took some extra time. But finally, I got the phone running XXJPY, which indeed is running smoother than the original fw I had.

In brief:

You can upgrade from:

PDA: I9000XWJPA

PHONE: I9000XXJPP

CSC: I9000XEFJP3

Build Info: 2010.10

to

PDA: I9000XXJPY

PHONE: I9000XXJPY

CSC: I9000XXJPY

Build Info: 2010.12

at least upgrading first to XXJPU (repartition, 512pit, tri-file) and then to XXJPY (no repartition, 512pit, one-file).

Regards.

Hi Guys I have a few questions.

I have flashed Magloader and one of the features is to boot ROMS from SD.

Well I can't boot any ROMS they all hang on the loading animation towards the end.

Originally I was not aware of the Panasonic formatter so I just did full format in W7 to FAT32 which has worked flawless in WM65.

So I then formated the card with the panasonic formatter but did not tick erase so just full format but it did take about 2 hours.

Then copied my data back accross.

RE tested and still the same issue.

All ROMS boot fine with WM65 but since I copied data back 1 ROM will now not boot with WM65 either.

I have a 32GB Card not sure of class I paid £55 for it so guessing its high up there ?

The card is not partitioned at all so full 32gb.

Any suggestions ?

If not I am thinking of going back to WM65 because I got like 4 - 7 drian on that which is acceptable for me and more space for apps.
