Those soft-key problems are hardware-related. I had the problem a month ago, and I got it fixed by replacing front parts on Samsung Service Center.

[Nexus S General] bilybob:
Can you elaborate on how you got started, what was replaced, did they cover under warranty, etc...

Thanks, there are a lot of people who have this problem. Your soln at least seems reasonable...
[Nexus S General] iamxeph:
I just went to Samsung Service Center and talked to an engineer and showed him a demo(this took about 30 mins lol keep tapping the button). He replaced front part of my Nexus S and the problem was gone.

Front parts of Nexus S is integrated, in other words, screen, buttons, glass are just one part.

Of course, it was free.
[Nexus S General] jcrompton:
At least for me, this problem is COMPLETELY related to the radio flash. Flash KD1 --- happens all the time, leave it on KB3 --- never happens.

This has been confirmed by others. Hopefully that's the case for you. That's a lot easier than hardware repair
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
Wow, that was the best service i ever heard about... :o)
[Nexus S General] mafiaboy01:
Ya for me its not radio related, it happens less in KB3 but it still happens.
[Nexus S General] jcrompton:
Sorry to hear. This is obviously a somewhat rare and weird issue that we are the few it has bothered. This happened to me weeks ago and I even tried to recreate the problem after your recent posts. No problem for the weeks on KB3 and then day before yesterday reflashed KD1 and it started immediately, went away after changing back.

Sorry this didn't fix for you!

I'd love to see this implemented as its a HUGE battery saver without having to jump to wifi. After all I paid $500+ for a phone, and I'd expect it to work fine on a cellular network :D Otherwise there's always the iPod touch if I plan on being on wifi 24/7

Notification Widget disappears

I have had this happen a couple of times before.

Suddenly the notification widget in the status bar disappears.

It reappears only after a reboot!

Anybody seen this issue? Any solutions.

go to the main settings, applications, manage apps, all, dsp manager, clear data. are you using another sound app like volume+? if so, thats why its force closing.

LAUNCHER

is there a way to remove the adw launcher and just use base theme and launcher

use titaniumbackup/adb/file manager to remove adw launcher

only thing so far is an FC for cyanogenmod settings on boot but doesnt seem to affect anything, will update the more i use.
[Nexus S General] LuvinN1:
Does this have to be done everytime we flash a new nightly?
[Nexus S General] de-evolution:
I usually get that when I have Kernel issues nothing to do with CyNi. You may also get issues when you try to set your CPU Max or Mins, otherwise no problems. Are you running Netarchy? btw
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
this happened once when i booted right after flashing pre kernel flash, and once after kernel flash netarchy 1.3.4 (the unstable one for 2.3.4) but hasnt happened again and ive flashed a few things since then.
[Nexus S General] de-evolution:
That's odd, I've never gotten the error from a fresh flash hmm well you've debunked my theory haha. Well hopefully it'll be resolved till then it doesn't seem to be bothering anything else, other than some CPU settings.

** I didn't get the error with this nightly btw, just incase anybody was wondering its running smoothly

*** Netarchy BFS builds are causing the problems for me I think, are you using BFS or CFS

[Nexus S General] sinik420:
two completely different questions, 104 is newest nightly and the 7.1 kang is a few posts back. i havent found one i would say is good for battery life but i know mine is quite an exception getting only 6 hours max.
[Nexus S General] Soolfly:
is it possible to do an update from CM7.0.3 Stable to CM7.1.0-Kang without Wipe Data ?

Thx :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] Waza_Be:
Best battery life is 26.

Other people also reported 40 to be very good

#88 i think (imho)
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
i like 40 for batt life
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
i did it from a nightly with just wipe caches, should be the same as you only wipe cache to go to a nightly. just backup, "sd card" too

Ok. And no problems to report ? Thx ;)
[Nexus S General] jottosson:
I'm running nightly 101 atm which is absolutely fantastic, but i want to experiment a bit with kernels (i've found voodoo a necessity). However, I'd love to have the stock kernel that came with the rls im currently running as fallback. Can a flashabe zip be dl somewhere? Perhaps a bit noob question, but wth, im new on cm7 :)

Another qstion while im at it; does most cm7 2.3.4 kernel work with nightlies, or should i look for something special?

Of course, ill do a nandroid before i try em out!

Does this need modded to work with our nexus? If so ill give it a shot again. Please let me know if it works as is.
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
The only thing that changed in the latest gapps is they took out the "Video" in Gtalk completely and then they updated the "Vending.apk" file. I took my old mod and put the Video Gtalk back in along with the required files and have posted the new Mod to my drop box. I would have posted here but it was over 8Mb which is the forum limit. Let me know if you got any questions.

This is what you need, its just the stock kernel with only the voodoo improvements. Very stable with no extras. You can just use this as a replacement when going back to stock.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I'd just use Netarchy's 1.3.4 kernel. Don't want to OC? That's fine, its left at stock clocks. With this kernel, you can undervolt your phone by using a easy to use app. Undervolting extends your phone's battery life.

For the Guy complaining about CM saying the battery is draining over night while the screen if off. Only 2ma constant drain through out the night which resulted in a few percent drop over 9 hours. The other drainage I had the phone awake.

I'd say that's pretty damn good if you ask me.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I don't know if you're referring to me as I've been ranting on my battery life, if you're defending cm7 you don't need to. I doubt its that, I think I just have a ****ty battery. I'd almost kill for a battery that did that. I just went to bed at 7.30 woke up at 11.30 and it had gone from 98 to 64.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Did you try recaliberating your battery? Google what it is or search the XDA forum on whats it about.

P.S. if you dont need your phone on during sleep, set it to airplane mode. when you wake up, the % SHOULD remain the same as it was when you slept. If it doesn't then your android os is draining for sure
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
Has the 2G/3G toggle been fixed yet?
[Nexus S General] jottosson:
Thanks

I tried Jame Bond when using stock rom and was perfectly happy with it, but if i understand the somewhat cluttered first post correctly, only a "sabe" rls is for cm7 2.3.4, and i dont feel comfortable with uv just yet. Atm i prioritise stability over batter life.

I found Matix kernel and flashed it and it works like a charm. I'll evaluate it over the next couple of days and may give Jame Bond a shot after that.

Regarding Netarchy i read in the thread that a couple of flashers have had issues with 1.3.4 and 101.

Now when 104 is out and all, do i need to wipe data when upgrading between nightlys?

@sinik420

Lol usually when I've corrupted my Nexus with constant flashing and Modding, I find that an Odin full reset fixes everything. But be warned you'll loose everything so backup your personal data. I can post the required Odin files for you, if you wish to take that route.

sent from the monkey holding a Nexus S
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Another option would be to Lock your bootloader and then unlock it again. That cleans the phone of everything too and I have taken this route several times with great success.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I'm asking mostly because I know the answer.but wont accept it, after locking and unlocking the bootloader would I have to do a fresh install of the rom?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
besides for an accidental data wipe a month ago(someone pushed my arm while i was in recovery, and then i restored a backup. so it wasnt a real wipe :eek: ), i havent data wiped in many months. i dont really think theres a need to. i do a mass amount of flashing every day. nightlies, kangs, many different kernels multiple times daily. just flashing over what i already have, fixes any issues that may occur. i generally feel that many people over wipe. but hey, i dont care, its not my time that they are wasting :p
[Nexus S General] keveh:
I'm new to these Nightly ROMs, what's the deal with them, are you just able to flash them over one another?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
They release a new ROM update every night and yes you can flash over one another and will not wipe data
[Nexus S General] lilnev:
Fixed it.

It's a time issue. In Switzerland automatic time update is not working. So due to the time being off Gtalk had this problem and another example is Dropbox login also didn't work.

To fix this, install ClockSync free from the market, it will sync your phone with an NTP server.

Root required.
[Nexus S General] stiefa00:
for those who are new to cm7/android, too and need gmail... u can download this:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c8bg2im399sauj9 and copy the gmail.apk to the root location of your sd storage and install it with any installer app from the market.

u need to allow installation of non-market apps (settings->applications->unknown sources). afterwards u can deactivate it again.

don't forget to activate mail sync in settings!

did you look at to see what battery use is for each component on the system? I've seen it drop like mad due to rogue Facebook before. Everytime battery consumption is high, people blame ROMs, but almost everytime I can find something in the battery stats to show that something went crazy and after killing it, battery consumption went back to normal.

i can post a picture, which app do you want. i have systempanel, or can do just the regular battery screen. also just to be clear, i highly doubt its the rom as im the only one ive seen getting these numbers. i think my battery just happened to be crap and am getting an extended battery when i get paid next week.

HAHAHAHA I see that finally the conversation in the past several days has picked up in the right direction as in HORRENDOUS BATTERY LIFE ON NIGHTLIES!!!!

FINALLY people are picking up on what I tried pointing out 2 weeks ago and I got SHUT DOWN by some soooooo hard-headed people here.

I came from a stock and for me it was CLEAR AS NIGHT AND DAY how terrible the battery life was. But once you stay on a nightly for 2-3 weeks you stat forgetting the good days and start messing around with all kinds of wacky hacks and tricks to monitor where the energy leaking and you WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

Please keep the conversation in the right direction until the issues get fixed. After all this is the purpose for discussing here. Not shooting people down.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Someone carries old wounds, but I do agree. Someone a lot smarter than I should (although I bet they are) be focusing on horrible battery life.
[Nexus S General] Waza_Be:
I bet you couldn't last 1,5 full days with the wifi and 3G turned on, and the screen always off. I got nearly 4 days using my phone with both of them turned on and making phone calls, sending SMS, updating widgets and apps.

The prooof is on the screenshot, and yes, I am not using my phone 20 hours a day, but always turned on.

Please don't take me for a stupid guy and admit the BIG issue, that's incredible how people thing they are smarter than other!

In conclusion, just show us your nearly days battery life, even with screen turned off all time, like I did :-D

It's time for CM7.1 RC1, isn't it? I'm getting a bit tired of flashing every second Nightly..
[Nexus S General] tekken-:
Yeah indeed.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
What's the difference between a RC1 and Nightly?

RC1 is a nightly thats given a new name to mark "stability." The CM team works for free so unless you want to give them a salary, they'll take as long as they want. I rather have them take as much time as they need than to release something buggy then people would complain.
[Nexus S General] Olli24689:
I've never said anything against this. And only by the way, I've donated to CyanogenMod^^

In my opinion, they can take all the time they need, too. But i haven't found any heavy bug in the latest nightlies, they are all working fine on my Nexus, so i thought: why no rc?

okay, it's a diffrent name. but not only that. It's also the chance to submit Bugs to the Tracker. And the hope to get a stable release soon.

Please don't missunderstand me, it's a really good thing and the nightlies are working well, but I would prefer a official stable release :)

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
It's not RC because CM7 is not only for the NS. It is for 10+ other devices, it is difficult to maintain stable throughout all of the devices they support. That is why. When they declare a nightly a "RC" it means stable for ALL CM7 supported phones.

If it makes you feel better, open build prop and change it to CyanogenMod7-7.1.0-RC1 then ;)

Yup, and the count only gets bigger and bigger. It's difficult to have a universal ROM for so many different phones. I only said 10+ because.. well, i wanted to be nice :P
[Nexus S General] i.peteycent:
You said 10+ because you didn't know ;) Anyways everyone is well aware of the Cyan team doing this for free, no need to repeat yourself over and over and telling them nightlies are meant to be unstable. A nightly in and of itself isn't meant to be unstable but can be, two very different things. When people point out flaws or bugs in a nightly its not always complaining but maybe a heads up to others who may read it and decide to wait for the next nightly. You've certainly come off to try and be a police figure in this thread.
