i took a business course my 2nd year of college. and for the first semester the professor gave us a choice, take the pepsi challenge(between coke and pepsi) and guess which drink is which or the regular exam. if you pick the right drink, you get an A in the class. but if youre wrong you get a F and have to retake the semester. majority got it wrong.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
And you? Hard for me to believe I wouldn't have known the difference but coke was crack for me as a kid. Pepsi tasted stale. My Dentist was also a big fan of me drinking coke.
[Nexus S General] bananis:
Hey all, quick question - i'm on RC4 and am getting quite bad battery life.

Do the newer nightlies have any better battery performance?
[Nexus S General] catchsomezz:
had the same experience a couple nightlies ago. wiped battery stats and let the phone drain (then recharged to full) twice. good battery life thereafter

on a separate note, do people still have the gmail alignment glitch within emails? tried wipe data/cache/dalvik + #35 a few times already with no avail
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i was 1 of 3 who got it right. 8 people had to retake the semester. coca cola was like crack to me too. i finally stopped drinking coke and all other sweet carbonated drinks 3 years ago. but it was too late.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
its going to be similar.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
if you want amazing battery life. go to #26. i was on it and i didnt see any noticeable bugs.
[Nexus S General] bananis:
Thanks all...

even you my klingon friend.
[Nexus S General] noobhero:
experienced my 1st random reboot moments ago.

an infinite one. had to pull the batt. reboots fine tho.. wonders why .. hmm

on RC4
[Nexus S General] pablo1215:
Same thing happened to me while I was asleep. Lucky I woke up on my own before I was late for works. Guess its good that I have an old blackberry 9700, its a good alarm clock at least.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I don't trust my Nexus S either... I also set up two phones with two alarms. I still get random freezes and have to pull the battery.
[Nexus S General] Arcarsenal:
Just had another dim/inverted colors bootloop with #34 and Netarchy CFS 1.3.0.2. Seems to be quite frequent these days.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
mid day CM7 KANG anyone? http://goo.gl/olGoc :D
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
none here.
[Nexus S General] pablo1215:
Which kernel are you using? I dont think I've had this happen on stock kernel so I may go back to that. This recent one happened using netarchy
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Today I downloaded #26, the famous "stable" MOD. Wiped data and cache, wiped dalvik and fixed permissions. Ran the 26 zip, flashed gapps and rebooted. Then after that I went back in to rom manager, wiped cache, dalvik and fixed permissions again. Thinking ok, if this phone is going to run good this has to be it.

Stock kernel. One battery pull boot loop, one other reboot and several applications crashed. Apps that were restored from google's back up, not titanium or mybackup pro.

It is what it is. Sad to say. I really don't know this will ever get resolved. But we'll see. I hope to be pleasantly surprised but at this point, I will absolutely be surprised if this phone ever functions the way my HTC/CM5 and 6 phones did.

C'est la vie.
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
I might be on drugs, where do I wipe my batterystats?
[Nexus S General] graphreak:
Boot into CMW Recovery>Advanced>Wipe Battery Stats
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Thanks
[Nexus S General] simms22:
or...

open root explorer, press data, press system, long press batterystats.bin, press delete.

OR..

open the terminal emulator app in the phone and type
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
#36 is up and RC4.1 should be coming soon.
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
If RC4 has great battery life will RC4.1 have the same/better battery life? Or is it like a hit and miss thing with the battery life on Cyanogen Mod?
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
I'm going to blow my brains out. What a topsy turvey situation. Since the phones inception, every nighlty ans kernel and stock crap and other roms I have been getting boot loops. I had it, been on stock 2.3.3 for a while. Rc4 comes out...I find the nsColab...I erase everything, load that up....no loops for the last week and a half...first time I've never had a loop, ever. It good be a fluke.....but God...I hope its not and I am the only living person enjoying the way this ****en phone was supposed to opperate. I believe everyone has a problem more than I have solution however. Cheers
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
I read from a google employee that the 2.3.3 update didn't completely get rid of the random reboots, it just decreased the occurrence of them.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I've not been using my Nexus S as my daily driver since picking up an HTC Thunderbolt two and half weeks ago, but the NS still gets love and attention from most days.

I hadn't noticed any random reboots in quite a while, but after flashing nightly #35 got several per day that I saw. I may have been getting them in the past two weeks, but just not noticing them.

I am stock kernel and flashed back to #34 a few hours ago, but now I see #36 is out, so I'll give it a try and observe more.

It would be interesting to see if CM7 causes random reboots on other phones; that would be a clue as to if it's our hardware or the OS itself.

I've got CM7 on my Nexus S, Nexus 1, Nook Color, and just today put it on my Galaxy S i9000. The NS is the only one that I've noticed random reboots on; so might be the hardware in my experience.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
source or its false.
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=44db6d8e31129d4c&hl=en

Alright well I read it over and apparently the employee was talking about the phone freezing and needing a battery pull but if they reduced the occurence of that, they probably did the same thing with the random reboots, which I haven't had any of yet, been running RC4 since the day it was released and phone has been great, so I doubt it's hardware, it's most likely software.
[Nexus S General] ScooterG:
CM7 has been nearly flawless over the past couple months on my G2...fantastic experience. So far no issues on my NS...but I'm only on day 3 of ownership. Day 1, stock 2.3.1, day 2, CM7 #35, Day 3, CM7 #36.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Well that seems like another problem. Phone Freezing is different from a phone rebooting. I personally prefer having the phone reboot than a phone freeze depending on the area. If im in public, its going to look awkward taking off the back cover and taking the battery out. Especially when I got a case on lol.

I must be one of the lucky ones (or something) because I haven't experienced a freeze or a reboot since 2.3.3. Even with <2.3.3, reboots were rare for me.

Like I've always repeated for best experience and debugging all problems:

- Wipe Dalvik, Cache, Factory

- Flash ROM

- Flash Netarchy 1.3.0.2 CFS (optional)

- reinstall apps from fresh, don't use titanium backup (use it to restore data app | or just restore all but if you're experiencing hard problems, id just reinstall it)
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
Again I will say it.

I have the famous "S" TPU case as seen here

I noticed I use to have reboots with AXURA, Stock 2.3.2, Stock 2.3.3, CM7 with the stock kernels and with Netarchy's kernels whether or not they were overclocked.

I removed my case and no longer had issues with any of my ROMS, and am running CM7 RC4 with Netarchy 1.3.0.2 with no issues, before I restarted it on my own earlier I had a running uptime of 135 HOURS! and I have used over 210 minutes in the past two days, and was on the phone for an hour and a half straight with no issues.

I put my case back on tonight and start using my phone. Instantly get another reboot. Just saying those people with cases may want to try running without a case for a day or two and see if it resolves the issues.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Hm. That's a very interesting point that you just made. Who would of figured a cheap TPU case could of caused it? I've ran my phone completely naked and ever since I've started using the Case-Mate Pop Case and it still has not rebooted or froze. So I guess that would make the CM Pop a "certified" anti-reboot/freeze case.

And people were blaming Samsung for their hardware for reboots -.-
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
The NS' thermal equilibrium is being upset by insulating cases. MEH!
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
I have the same 'S' TPU case and get reboots everyday, maybe because it fits very tight near the power button. BrokenWall made a good point.

My friend has the Amzer Argyle case from amazon which, unlike the 'S' case, is not tight fitting at all, but he gets random reboots as well (RC4).

I guess I will get the Case Mate Pop or I can try cutting a hole through the power button area on the 'S' case because I really like it :).
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Heat is definitely a suspect. I've never used a case on my phones since i get cradles and car docks typically with a smartphone. NS has never had a shell and mine has been unstable since it was unboxed. Still could be heat. Good information for those that use cases/shells.

For me, if it's heat, I need a personal A/C blowing on my phone at all times.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
I'd watch your galaxy. Samsung is always a good candidate for smartphone root causes.
[Nexus S General] insanemachine:
I put cm7 rc2 on an incredible.Incredibly unstable. Three dim boot loops in 2h.

I've been running rc 4 with netarchy's kernel 1.3.0.0 and had no reboots for 152h, new record.

I keep mine in the tech 21 pouch in my pocket. I can't say I noticed a decrease in reboots once I switched from the S TPU pouch.

Sent from the bushes beneath your window
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
The conditions I keep my phone haven't changed since stock but I get bootloops on all CM7 RCs. Probably less on RC4 but still at least once a day.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
On the CM Pop. I can't really explain how the buttons are, its not tight. its not loose either. It's just PERFECT and makes it so easy to press on those buttons.

There's a video review of this case in the Accessories section. I'd recommend it, only flaw is that sometimes the rubber falls off on the edges but overall the case is in good condition still.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I still get reboots... a lot less frequent than 2.3.2 but I still get them sometimes. I used to have a case as well and I don't anymore but I'm not sure if affected the frequency of reboots. What I *think* may be the problem is something similar to what my Samsung Vibrant used to have which also randomly rebooted/bootlooped. It usually happened at work where I have poor reception. Also going in and out of the subway seems to raise the chance so I think it's actually the drivers for the radio not being able to connect after signal loss. I know they've "fixed" the bug where the phone can't connect after losing signal but I still get that sometimes, although it says "No Service" it actually does have service and I have to wait a while for the signal bars to eventually reappear.
[Nexus S General] IcOpRo:
I really dont know why, but my wife has a MT4G and shes running CM7RC4 and shes been running CM since RC#2 and shes never had a reboot or had to do a battery pull.

I wonder why it happens to us so often. Just wanted to share that info.

Im thinking of taking her phone for a week and use it to see what happens.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i havent had on reboot or dark bootloop.. purchased a ns dec28th. the only reboots ive had are with some early test kernels from running my phone at setcpu 1600/1600 or 1700(1.6ghz and 1.7ghz).
[Nexus S General] simms22:
a litlle bacon to snack on.. the latest cm7 KANG http://goo.gl/UM5a1
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
I too am experiencing no freezes and/or bootloops, only I use a little bit different sequence & kernel:

- wipe Cache

- wipe Dalvik

- Flash ROM

- Flash GAPPS

- Fix permissions

- Reboot

- Copy/Paste TehDuckUberDistro boot animation

- Flash Jame Bond 1.4.7.1 kernel

- Reboot

*Also don't use Titanium Backup
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
can we sticky that post:p

no seriously, THAT is how you do it (although I don't fix permissions) and also the key is not Jame bond (maybe for some...)
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
for all those that NEVER got a boot loop, freeze, etc. I would bet that you all reboot your phone at least once a day. That includes flashing anything.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
absolutely! sometimes much more than just once a day. ive been flashing it with something or another since day one hour 3.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
stickied!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
note: various steps in there are optional.

Flashing Gapps (optional if you're upgrading your ROM)

Fix Permissions

Boot Animation

Kernel.

@Lord: No.. I don't "reboot" my phone, although I do shut it off at nights.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Stop comparing reboots with cm7 on the nxs with other phones! The desire does not have the same chassis, battery, CPU, screen, etc or maker as this phone! My own opinion is that its due to heat dissipation when running outside of normal spec, but even so, there's no guarantee that any given model phone will run reliably when pushed past its original intended specification.

To get upset with that is ridiculous.

If you've gone back to stock after FORMATTING SYSTEM, then you have a legit issue. Try using the phone without a case and see if the issues stop.
[Nexus S General] radzuky:
Is there an option to save a new contact to only my gmail account with out the option of where to save popping up?
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
Powering off is the same thing as rebooting.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Try using cachemate once a day to clear your cache.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Um. you must be kidding right? Powering off a phone leaves the phone in a state where its completely off. Leaving the consumer to keep it in that state.

Rebooting is having it power off and turning it back on immediately. NOT giving the consumer a choice if he wants it completely off, but the consumer has the choice when prompting the device that it wants it off.

Similar, but not the "same thing."

When you have a car... and you're using your keys to unlock the door, compare that with a automated unlock on your keychain by pressing a button. Is that the same thing? No, it isn't.

Similar, but not the "same thing."
[Nexus S General] simms22:
fresh out of the oven, the latest cm7 kang http://goo.gl/gfT5m

enjoy :D
[Nexus S General] DennisG1:
don't understand? new rc4? can you explain the difference please? thanks
[Nexus S General] deeren:
rc4 is old news in the nightlies thread. this is just a kang which is more or less a nightly; just that it is being built by @gearheadcustoms unlike a nightly which is built by builtbot.

@simms22- lol. i told u that u should put the kang def in ur signature. :)) thanks for the update. was waiting for it
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
I had a reboot when using Smartbench 2010, but I'm on Trinity 15b (for CM7).
[Nexus S General] simms22:
absolutely! thats how i do it every single time ;)
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
cm7 nightly #13 + trinity 1.5 no workie

unstable together
[Nexus S General] asci:
Unable to boot or complete the boot here with nightly#13 and trinity kernel, CM and standard version too. After a full wipe, 1.5_CM trinity kernel hungs on trinity boot image. With 1.4_CM kernel, I can complete the boot process but the device will freeze the moment after. With standard 1.4 kernel it hungs on trinity boot image. If there is something new I don't know please post the link...

:(
[Nexus S General] simms22:
try this. do not wipe dalvik, do not wipe cache, dont wipe anything, flash rom in recovery, flash gapps, flash kernel, reboot.
[Nexus S General] asci:
The CM version of the kernel?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
yes, the cm7 version.
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
Well, the button press colors Change, and the end of menu color flash thingies changes color too. Also the bars in some menus change texture, such as settings.
[Nexus S General] liorry:
This is sooo unstable... very hard for someone who used CM nightly build on Nexus One, which were very stable and ready, to use them now on Nexus S when they are in alpha.

I love CM and its features... can't wait for it to reach stability.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
dont know what your talking about, this is stable as can be for me :)
[Nexus S General] liorry:
No sudden reboots (can happen even if you're not using the phone)?
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
I'm getting all around great stuff from CyanogenMod 7.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
nope, I havent noticed any reboots at all. My phone is right infront of me 80% of the day, the other 20% is me on the toilet so maybe my phone waits for me to leave :(
[Nexus S General] liorry:
LOL!

well.. glad it works well for you :)

Hope it'll improve soon, can't see myself using any other ROM and I've tried them all.
[Nexus S General] asci:
I just tried it, and I have had the same behavior...:(
[Nexus S General] simms22:
very stable here! i use the cm7 nightlies on both my nexii, the nexus s and nexus one. id say its much more stable than stock.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
that sucks! well, ever phone reacts differently with every kernel...
[Nexus S General] mprziv:
Works great here on nightly 13 with 1.5 oc'd kernel!

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
CM is pretty stable to me. The new nightlys are cutting down my reboots. I only had one reboot with 10 and haven't had any on 13.
[Nexus S General] c_licious:
Never mind, flashed without wiping anything and it's booting just fine. Pretty sick stuff!
[Nexus S General] i.peteycent:
You must be kidding right? Turning your phone off, regardless of the off time is a reboot. When you ask someone have they rebooted their phone, you are asking them if they have turned their phone off and back on - regardless of the length of time it has been in the off position.
[Nexus S General] tmello56:
Anyone notice a decrease in battery life on the latest nightly? 26-RC4 had great battery life and 36 seems to be draining my phone a lot faster today.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
youre probably right, but i dont want to clutter my sig. ill consider it though, maybe ill do something else.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
If reboot and turning your phone off are the same thing. Then why don't they just call it "turn your phone off and turn it back on?" Instead they gave it its own name... called REBOOT! therefore its not the same.

Like I said again, "Similar, but not the same."

When you shut something off, that's saying that you don't have any intention to turn it back on for a little while.

Here's another example.

If your phone or CPU is overheating due to overclocking. You power it off to let it cool off, but when you turn it back on.. is that considered rebooting? No. Reboot is instantly turning it back on after powering off. Instead of that, it's done in ONE step.
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
is there anyway to enable the enter button on the stock android keyboard instead of the smiley face key? so that the "enter to send" can actually be used with the stock messenger client?
[Nexus S General] schizopunk:
I was wondering this same thing.

Why removed in CM options (Settings -> Calls) - coup-silense?

Why, why? It's very bad(
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
lol is CM7 final going to miraculously alleviate random reboots / dim bootloops?
[Nexus S General] TKEMerph:
Anyone ever heard of this problem? My phone is completely stuck in "Back" button mode.... I go to messages, a ghost will press back, i go to email, a ghost will press back... It's sorta like mashing a bunch of buttons and then watching the lag take over your phone, Im trying to figure out if this is the phone itself or the CM7 rom. Going to do a wipe tonight on it to test.
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
Woo-hoo! #37 is up :)
[Nexus S General] DennisG1:
Someone knows if 37 fixes the problem with the 2g/3g switch in the notification bar? (And also crashing of phone process)

Sry bad english = german ;)
[Nexus S General] bajansurfer:
In #37 the date no longer shows up when you pull down the notification bar. Anyone else notice this?
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
U're arguing from a user perspective. I'm referring to OS perspective.
[Nexus S General] DennisG1:
no fix for phone crashing after using 2g/3g switch in the notification bar. danm.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You're*

And from what I was last told, humans don't speak for technology/electronics/phones/computers.
[Nexus S General] Azure465:
Yes cant find any option to bring it back either. But I found a new option to put the status bar on the bottom, pretty cool

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
Since the last 2-3 nightlies, I can't send emails through the Gmail app and can't update any of my apps through the market. Tried clearing the caches etc but to no avail. Any suggestions/ideas?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Updating apps via market works. Try reflashing the gapps?

Also.. uninstall updates to Gmail and reinstall updates (after reflashing gapps)
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
Thanks, i'll try that.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Already have a soft reboot issue in 37.

Also, I use ADW.Launcher EX.

I have the "swipe down" (in adw settings) to open the notification bar. It no longer works in 37.
[Nexus S General] jerrycycle:
I'm on 37 and the swipe down works for me. I have the notification bar at the bottom. Swipe down raises it up
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Yeah I tested it with the status bar on the bottom and works just fine, moved it back to top, and doesn't work again.
[Nexus S General] jerrycycle:
Correct you're right. Don't work if status bar at the top. I have installed from a clean wipe.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
BACON!(the latest cm7 kang) http://goo.gl/HWSDb
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
Thanks, fixed the pulldown date bug :).

It still lags a bit when you pulldown the statusbar, it started with 37. Maybe because they merged all those tablet tweaks.
[Nexus S General] DennisG1:
is it possible to fix the date bug in the statusbar e.g. with root explorer? maybe if i change a file somewhere? if yes; please tell me :)

thanks for the good rom here!
[Nexus S General] tadaha:
38 is up and the date bug is fixed!
[Nexus S General] catchsomezz:
Is anyone still having the gmail alignment problem (within emails)?? I'm still getting it and can't figure out how to fix it. Tried wiping data/cache/dalvik. Help!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
uninstall and reinstall gmail

didn't work. Still paginated.
[Nexus S General] jerrycycle:
Still a problem but quick fix is to rotate from portrait to landscape back to portrait.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:

[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Has anyone experienced some freezes where the screen's colors, etc, become inverted, and the phone is completely unresponsive? I've noticed this 4-5 times since upgrading to RC4. But it looks like there's not much reason to move to a newer build, esp with rumors that some things like the status bar are now WORSE.

Anyone care to elaborate?
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
If by screen color's being inverted you mean dim bootloops animations, then yes I've experienced that on RC4 today. I think shortly after I unplugged the power from the wall while it was charging. Phone is stock speed not overclocked.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Not at all. I mean, it freezes up sometimes on the homescreen or whatever I'm working on, slightly dimmed (NOT like a bootloop) and colors completely inverted. Sometimes it'll reboot by itself, most times it requires a battery pull.
