[Nexus S General] nyijedi:
I get your point, but when the RC is listed as "Stable" in the official CM forums, and the nightlies are listed as "Experimental" in the official CM forums and as "Alpha" here, you can surely understand why many people will draw the conclusion that the RC is more stable than the nightlies.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Well I got throttled so I guess that answers my question. Any workarounds to bypass data throttling that work for NS and N1? This Edge bs is killing me.

You can use VPN, it is free internet access for android. But not working for some country like Malaysia. My friend in Philippines has that working well in his android device.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I'm not familiar at all with VPN but the short amount of research I've done makes me think I still need to have a data package in order to access the VPN. Am I misunderstanding something?
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
You don't need data package. You have to install VPN program, and placed the files you need in SD and you get your internet access. You can simply Google to get VPN files. But it is not 100% working. It depends on location.

[Nexus S General] jwee5467:
Little issue here. After flashing the kangs after 14/08 I have found that when I flash the kangs that the phone goes into a fast boot or a bootloop after the screen is turned off. Has anyone heard of this or has this problem also?

Previously rocking i9023 and XXKD1 radio.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
redownload and reflash.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
honestly, ive never heard of that. its been after every kang since? every time you turn the screen off? any new apps installed then? maybe on a related note.. i have a g1 thats running android 1.0, every time i turn the screen off it reboots. also, i cant install any apps or flash any other rom. but it has part of its motherboard burnt out. sorry, didnt mean to scare you.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
are you using any screen off profiles?
[Nexus S General] jwee5467:
No i'm not. I had set some powersave bias although I am going to try and disable that and try reflashing the latest kang.
[Nexus S General] jwee5467:
On second thought now - i did also try wiping and flashing although that didn't help. Seems to be fine on the kang I am running now (140811) so I have no clue...
[Nexus S General] Hellafax:
Since flashing the latest nightly, I've been unable to get Google Talk w/Video working.

Even the 'Google Talk 1.3' installer experiences an FC when it attempts to download .

Anyone have a tip/walkthrough on how to get that back up an running? Up until recently its been easy to get back.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Flash gapps or just replace the apk

I doesn't matter what kernel, it happens with stock kernel also.

[Nexus S General] brrip:
so what's up with the blank changelogs recently?
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
No changes made to CM affected the NS. I was kind worried for support to our phone since koush's NS was broken and he's the maintainer... but from reading his tweets, it seems like he's ordered a new one :)

We are definately getting less love than the galaxy S series. My GF captivate is seeing a lot of fixes and new funtionality updates. But that could also mean that our phone is in a more stable state. Only time will tell.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Could someone tell me which of the most recent nightlys have the best balance of stability and battery life? Thanks in advance

[Nexus S General] lolog4:

[Nexus S General] brrip:
cool. thanks for the reply! was worried there for a second. cyanogenmod is the only thing keeping me with this phone. really waiting for ICS
[Nexus S General] novagol:
it's not all that bright, i used to own a galaxy s and there were huge problems, with battery drain because of the close source ril and gingerbread bootloaders and it took a long time to solve idle problems because of the bootloaders, it happened just a couple of weeks ago, but the ril problem still remains, so the battery drain is very excessive when acutally using the phone, because it doesn't communicate well with the modem... also, video recording on 720p is pretty much useless, if don't use it under very bright conditions

i got so annoyed with these problems that i switched it for a nexus s :) and the other downside of the galaxy is that you really don't have any alternatives to cyanogenmod, because everything else sucks, because it's based on samsung roms which are all horrible...

Is it a bug where the screen times out in a call whilst on speaker? I cannot turn the screen back on because my power key hangs up the call.
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
I have a dumb question: How do you zoom using the camera? On my Nexus One running CM7, there's a setting on the side of the screen that says 1x that you can use to zoom, but it's not there on my fiancee's Nexus S running CM7.

I also checked the option in Advanced Options for volume key zoom but it didn't do anything (although I think that needs a restart to work if I remember correctly). Either way that option wasn't always there so how am I supposed to zoom?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
There is no "zoom". You can always crop the image and achieve the same result.
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Camera zoom is digital zoom or known as fake zoom... crop or enlarge's quality is better than zoom...
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
To OP or any maintainer...

Can you guys post the cm7 stable to UOT kitchen? Most of the cm7 devices rom are there but not nexus s..

It is really helpful if you guys can upload it there.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Op is no longer here. Nothing has changed on that first page for months. :/
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Or anyone can take the permission from cyanogen to upload it to uot.
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
The op is not cyan either. Only the admins of xda can fix the permission at this point. Maybe u should send them a message. :)
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
Well I do understand how digital zoom works (i.e. it doesn't) but is that how it's handled on stock? It doesn't seem to me that the general public would accept it not being there as an answer.
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Did you realized that nexus s has better video and photo quality than those devices like arc? They have their own idea on why made it zoomless
[Nexus S General] simms22:
the op is a friend of mine, and he checks in every once in a while now. if you need anything to be done, pm him and he will change whatever. i do know that he leaves the country for periods of time so it might be a few days before he gets back to you.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Couldn't anyone (yourself included) just download the ROM and upload it to the Kitchen?
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Follow the rules.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
if anyone wants to post cm7 to a kitchen, you need to get permission from cyanogen.
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
Did some research and yeah, it's zoomless on stock. That's just... odd. I mean, it doesn't bother me but it's just, well, strange as hell.

Which of the nightlys provides the best battery life? Thanks in advance

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
All of the recent nightlies provide about the same battery life. Its the kernel that can make a huge difference currently. This is my opinion of course. :)
[Nexus S General] coloxim:
last kang with netarchy 4...

the battery is infinity..

more than 2 hours -1%...

wow...
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
I guess this is the place to ask given the above, but I'm looking for a kernel that's stable. I don't care really about the features (although Voodoo and BLN would be nice) and honestly stock CM kernel's battery life and performance are just fine, but what I'd like is to cut down on reboots and dim-screen loops. Right now they happen about once a week at the most and I'm on the RC, not the current nightly (and I don't really want to move to the current nightly until the wifi fix is merged but that should be soon).

My searching seems to point to the Netarchy kernel as the one with what I'd like and it defaults to stock frequencies which seems to me could only add to stability.

My questions are these:

Will switching to a different kernel affect stability at all?

Is there a preferred kernel for stability?

Is one reboot/screen dim loop a week better or worse than most see on the CM7 nightlies?

Lastly, procedural (since I'm a Nexus One guy, the Nexus S is my fiancee's):

Do you reflash the kernel after every nightly flash? (ROM > GApps > kernel?)

Do you need to wipe the device the first time you switch to a different kernel or can you flash over top of the existing one?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I've had about the same experience as I you. The reboots are no big deal to me-- its the dim scream boot loops that kill me, because they tend to occur overnight, and prevent my alarm from going off (because i'm asleep and can't do a battery pull). Frankly, the plain reboots I can look past (no choice really, they happen on every single ROM including 100% stock unrooted!) But the dim screen boot loops are the reason i'm not using CM right now :( So yeah, if anyone had a workaround, please share! Also please star the issue in the CM issue tracker. Its unfortunately a showstopper issue for me.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3459
[Nexus S General] simms22:
1. the kernel could affect stability, better or worse.

2. i prefer the trinity kernel.

3. some people have dark bootloops all the time, i dont get them at all.

4. you need to reflash the kernel after every rom flash.

5. . i never wipe before flashing a kernel. but if you do have issues, go back and wipe dalvik then reflash the kernel.
[Nexus S General] cheech87:
i) a different kernel may affect stability

ii) all phones are different. for stability, I would say to try the Matr1x or Lucid kernels. Some might disagree though.

iii) this is a touchy issue. although the "fix" was listed in the changelog for N144, I'm not so sure it was fixed since a friend's nexus has gotten the dim screen bootloop on N144. However, code may have been further tweaked after this build as I have not gotten one in well over a month. It may have something to do with the bootanimation and I have a custom one loaded.

For your reference, the fix included in N144 was:

"Fix endless boot-loop on ldpi, when using bg-color/image on lockscreen (android_vendor_cyanogen)"

iv) yes, I reflash the kernel after every nightly. flashing a nightly will replace your existing kernel with the stock cm kernel. Should be no need to reflash gapps each time.

v) I wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, but thats just by habit. many people will claim this makes so difference at all.
[Nexus S General] dwang:
Nexus s is a hdpi device so I wouldn't think that fix applies.
[Nexus S General] cheech87:
neither did i, but the all the dim screen bootloops i was getting had bad blue/green color rendering and "looked" low res. not to mention, to the best of my knowledge, this problem was only found on the NS, so it is plausible that this was what the changes were intended to fix.
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll look into all the kernels listed.

She's only had one dim screen that she noticed (although she's needed a battery pull before so that could've been one too). She came to the NS recently after selling her G2x which never made it a day without a battery pull so to her stability is king and I don't blame her- If I never see a G2x again it'll be too soon.

This is all temporary while we wait for the Nexus Prime (T-Mobile pissed her off over the G2x to the point where she wants to leave the carrier ASAP) but I do want her to have the best Android experience she can have in the meantime. I love my Nexus One and never have any issues with it so it's a little frustrating to recommend her the worst POS I've ever come across then I get rid of that to have one that can only do a week of uptime whereas I could probably never reboot the N1 if I didn't flash nightlies like candy.

I really appreciate the advice and help but really they need the Big Three bugs (dim screen, reboots, and 2G/3G toggle) fixed in CM7. I understand that two of the bugs are present in stock, but this is supposed to be a developer phone so it really should be perfect out of the box (as I would say my N1 has been).

If anyone else has advice on kernels, please feel free to add. I do enjoy learning!
[Nexus S General] cheech87:
the 2g/3g toggle is only a bug when using from the power control widget (or notification pull down controls). it can be easily disabled via a few sqlite commands. they can be found in the bug tracker discussion, or let me know if you want more information. so unless not having a 2g/3g power control toggle is a dealbreaker, i would just disable that feature altogether (like i did). You can still use the "use 2g only" option in the stock settings menu without trouble.

the dim screen is also a cm only thing, or any cm based rom. but it's looking like it's fixed. or i've just had a very good run for the last 4-6 weeks.

I'm running Morfic's Trinity kernels, in case that is in any way relevant.
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
Yeah I've got all three issues starred in the bugtracker, but a comment in there suggested it occurs using one of the options in the hidden menu to switch between WCDMA and GSM. I haven't disabled the option yet, but she knows not to use it. Either way, not a dealbreaker.

I'll definitely let her know that dimscreening seems to affect some less more recently (although matt2053 seems to disagree) and after the wifi fix gets merged I'll see where it gets us.

Thanks again, it's nice to know that under all the posters who can't read OPs or FAQs or even Google there are still some helpful posters here who can (and do) help out.

[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
To get rid of the dim screen bootloop, go to CM settings/Display/Automatic Backlight and enable 'Use Custom', then increase the screen dim level, I have it set to 24.

To minimise the reboots, I use the barebones Lucid kernel simply for Voodoo and I use version 1.5y (No UV). Also, I don't use SetCPU and it's been rock solid. Something you can try :).
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
To be fair, it had been a few weeks since I had CM installed. Maybe its time to try again. I did just exchange my Nexus for a new one. So this one has not yet experienced what its like to run CM. every phone should try at least once, yeah?
