[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robse86:
Hey Guys,

as the topic says, I would like to know your expierences about the scratch-resistance of the Nexus S glass.

I couldnt find anything on the net about it, only some screen protector tests, which isnt the point.

So what do you think? Is the surface pretty sensetive, should I buy a screen protector?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herman3101:
No scientific test here but I've had my phone for nearly a month and keep it in my pocket with no case or screen protector. I have minor scratches on the plastic back but my screen is still flawless.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robse86:
Yeah I´ve read alot about the batterycase and that it scratches pretty fast! Im gonna visist my girlfriend in UK and want to buy the Nexus S there. Its only available at carphone warehouse am I right? Do they sell the white version already?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herman3101:
Haven't seen the white version here yet and yes only carphone warehouse sells it in the UK.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I do not own the Nexus S, but as far as I can tell from the internet, the display is from glass. :) That means it is as scratch-resistant as any other phone with a glass display. Yes, including phones with Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass only prevents the display from cracking.

The battery cover, however, is another story. Plastic has it advantages (lighter, better if you drop your phone), but you'll probably get a lot of micro-scratches over time. No big scratches, just a couple of little ones.

So my advise is: don't buy a screen protector. If you really want it, go for a super clear one, like a Seidio USG Crystal Clear. At least they don't mess with the displays colours and with the feel of the glass.

But you may consider protection for the plastic back. You could spray PlastiDip on your battery cover, buy a case or keep your phone in a pouch.

The nexus s is very much sensitive to scratches. After having the phone for about a week, I noticed fine micro scratches. I'm very careful with my phone, so more than likely they came from taking it in and out of my pocket probably due to the rough fabric of my jeans. And no I don't keep any debris in my pocket while my phone is in there. My nexus one never developed those type of scratches and there were times when my N1 was placed in my pocket with coins! imho gorilla glass does make a world of difference when it comes to scratch resistance. The NS definitely needs a protector if you want to keep the screen pristine.

O.o I carried my NS in my pocket with my Zippo for a week and the screen never got scratched once. I'm having an issue seeing how a metal lighter case wouldn't scratch the screen but your jeans would? Unless your jeans are made of diamonds....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
If you get scratches with your Nexus S, and not with your Nexus One, then you are just being unlucky. Gorilla Glass has nothing to do with it. Besides, the Nexus One also hasn't got Gorilla Glass.

That YOU get scratches on your display, doesn't mean it scratches very easily. And that you're very careful with it, also isn't an argument: as I said, sometimes it's just bad luck.

Please, anyone who wants to know if the Nexus S scratches easily (the display), ignore those 'the Nexus S scratches very easily compared to another device' replies.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrroey:
Mine has not scratched on the screen at all. I typically leave it in my back jeans pocket. The black plastic has very tiny micro scratches that can only be seen at a certain angle from direct sunlight or fluorescent bulbs.

The only issue for me is the creakiness of the back cover. Whenever I press down on the plastic near the bottom and top sides of the phone it sounds like its crying out in pain =/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeasi:
I'm not gonna go back and forth with you on this topic but I will say this..... Honestly, I can care less about what happens to your device. Who ever chooses not to use a protector on their phone is their business, not mine! What I offered was my personal experience and advice to the one who asked for our input. Ok, so what if the N1 doesn't have gorilla glass. Whatever glass the N1 uses, is different from the NS and I know personally what happened to my NS and what didn't to my N1. I'm very finicky when it comes to scratches on my phones. Not once did I ever have to put a protector on my N1. Luck had nothing to do with my NS getting micro-scratches. It's has everything to do with the way the screen was manufactured and what rubbed against it through my everyday usage!

Quoted to reiterate the point. Glass I'd glass when it comes to scratches. Period.

EDIT: If you want a really scratch "resistent" (I say resistent because my wife is making me, I disagree) get someone to make a sapphire screen for your phone. Its common practice in high end watches and, as I own one, I can testify to its inability to scratch. I get quite a kick from taking some random very hard material and rubbing it against the face only to have it come out unscathed. The only issue that'd arise is if you scratched it with a diamond...then it would definitely scratch.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeasi:
I don't know exactly where the scratches came from. They could've gotten there from a hard dust particle rubbing against it while cleaning my screen. The scratches I had weren't deep scratches. They could only be seen at an angle when light hit it....If you're definitely sure of your screen, why don't you bless all of us with an uploaded personal video of the key test?!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robse86:
Lol guys come down :).

So just to make it clear, the micro scratches on yr NS are on the back or on the display? Display right?

The point of my topic is just, that if I buy a nice phone like this I would like to use it as clean as possible, means only necessary accessories.

I had the Galaxy S before and Im gonna buy the NS now, before all of them the Desire. The problem is just that u always have to wrap the phone with stuff to make it "safer" and then u dont really see much of the design, the nice look of the phone, but it seems like this is just not possible right now :).

Anyway I baught a silicon case so far, is there a good cheap screen protector on ebay or a brand u know?

And before I forget, I read that the NS has a "anti-fat" layer, so there arent really fat traces on the display, is this right? Would suck if yes, because its really annoying :D and I wouldnt like to lose this because of a screen protector :D.

The scratches I'm speaking on are on the display screen.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Its suuuuuuuuper thin. I love it.

At the guy who got scratches on his screen. I still don't get it man. I cleaned my screen with a microfiber cloth two to three times a day before I got a screen protector. As I said, I carried it in my pocket with my lighter most times, but sometimes in the pocket with my change and still no scratches. Not to mention dropping it a few times. I just can't see how having it in your jeans could scratch it since I felt my lighter rub against my screen.

I'm not stupid though man, its f***ing glass. It'll scratch. But I've never seen glass scratch from jeans. Its just not nearly abrasive enough.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeasi:
Then do a f**kin lighter test then. Rub that sh!t against your NS display screen and post the f**kin video lmmfao! Let us all see just how lighter resistant your NS is! That would be interesting to watch lolll!

Thin? The phone or the screen protector :D? Well well then I have to buy a screen protector ;) , is there a good one ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Better yet why don't I do a jeans test to see how stupid you are.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Robse86, listen to this guy. He knows what he is talking about. A screen protector isn't really necessary. That doesn't mean the screen can't be scratched, so don't blame us when it does scratch. You should consider a case, if you don't like the micro-scratches that often appear on the battery cover.

Anyway, listen to big_adventure.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
The glass may be quite scratch resistant but I have my doubts about the oleophobic coating... many are reporting it wearing off. I've seen it first hand with my original Nexus S that I've since exchanged.

@dinan and the oleophobic coating, could you tell me more about it? Do you maybe have a link where I can see how it looks like?

Thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
There are a few threads in here with pictures. The coating, to my understanding, is just to protect against skin oils and the like.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezmang:
I don't know why a lot of you are getting hostile at the guy who said his phone got scratched in his jeans. I usually keep my phone in my old G1 case but on occasion I like to have it uncased in my pocket. Unfortunately my phone did end up getting scratched by a metal button above my pocket on my jeans. I don't know what you would classify micro scratches as but the two I have are pretty noticeable.

So I mean the NS is as scratch resistant as any phone I've had. Sadly I think I just got unlucky when putting my phone into my pocket.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz2kool:
The oleophobic coating is what scratches easily, not the glass screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbolinao:
i have to agree that putting it alone in your jeans can scratch it. ive used phones before that developed scratches on screens even if i slide it in and out of my pocket with utmost care.

my nexus s right now is using a screen protector. and i noticed that it has a small pinched hole on the protector when i took it out my pocket last night: like a needle poked on it or something. luckily, it didn't scratch the screen itself under, thanks to the protector.

but i have to buy a new protector now, the hole is annoying.

so yeah, phones get scratched in jeans pockets. there are tiny hard dust that can do that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
I have a few nasty scratches, and a bit of a weird "worn-out" area on the glass. But, nothing serious.

I have the weirdest problem mp3's will not play and when trying a youtube video is says, "Sorry, this video cannot be played"

Seems like some kind of codec issue. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] succulent:
Yea there is some kind of audio codec problem with playing mp3 on Froyo. I noticed that too with youtube app. It run but won't play any video. However, with flash extension and going to youtube.com on Dolphin Browser, the music played. I've also noticed Gameloft games have no audio too but other games have audio. I guess audio source from ogg worked but not mp3. I think we need to wait for a kernel fix.
[Nook Color General] EpicFail236:
I was able to get at least MP3s playing by downloading the sideload update zip file for 1.0.1 from B&N directly, unzipping it, and copying the contents of /system/lib/dsp to my device, then rebooting. YMMV, but it at least got stock and winamp to play MP3 files, though winamp still wont play shoutcast streams... its little by little though i guess.
[Nook Color General] theadlee:
Did youtube work after this? Are you on Froyo??
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Either it doesnt work with the files from the 1.1.0 update or i did it wrong

Edit: Just restored the original files, then put the 1.0.1 and youtube nor pandora work. Theres something else thats changed that prevents it. Youtube.com with flash works albeit the video is very laggy (sound is fine though)
[Nook Color General] smcmanus:
I pulled the /system/lib/dsp folder out of the 1.1 root flashable zip, copied it (after backup up current dsp folder) to my Froyo 0.5.9 nook, running on eMMC, and rebooted. I can now play mp3s, however, I have to launch them from root explorer, which is less than desirable.
[Nook Color General] quartarian:
I just upgraded to froyo 0.6.8 via EMMC, dual boot, and dalingrin's OC kernel and Mp3 playback seems to be working fine, however, mp4 streaming apps like youtube, pandora, and cnet tv all seem to be broken still.

Someone in the forums said they got Youtube to run after clearing the Dalvik-cache but that did not work for me.

I've always assumed that they're reference numbers to hardware, and have nothing to do with the bootloader, so I've never paid any attention to them. To be honest with you, I've never seen anyone even ask what they are, let alone worry about them.

I'm sure you can just flash HSPL and not worry about them.

[Captivate General] fezlopez:
Just a little story to share:

My Captivate finally reached the repair facility in Texas on Wednesday, this week. Apparently, the back side speaker busted as a result of nothing (???). No sound would come out of it. I didn't drop it, it just stopped working. Anyway,

Free 2-day shipping was provided and didn't have to pay a cent. So far so good. I expect to get my phone back next week.

Anybody else have this problems?

If you are wondering why I sent it to Samsung and not ATT, it's because I didn't want to deal with the insurance company. They wouldn't be happy once they read the IMEI number and check their database ;) That's all Im gonna say.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Yeah, apparently this is a very common issue. My wife's phone was doing that, and now mine is too... we are hesitating on sending them back because neither of us really want to be without our phones for a week...
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
A little work on your part..and you could have had a phone next day/second day aired to you through AT&T like I did ;)

[Captivate General] newter55:
He said he was avoiding at$t specifically.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
How do you do that? Call At&T Mobility? How much of a stink did you have to make?
[Captivate General] fezlopez:
I know att would ve sent me a replacement very fast, but like I said: I wanted to avoided trouble. And that meant I had to go one week without a phone.

This is what happened: Samsung let meet print a label online. I shipped my phone free in 2 day shipping and then it came to them. Their engineers worked on my phone for two days.then it was shipped back on a weekend. Basically it took a week, but I lived.

The phone was cleaned, the speakers were replaced and they look brand new. My usb port was cleaned since it was filled with dust.

Plus, I was given neat box and a 20 off coupon. Overall, it was amazing.

Samsung rocks!

The data2SD is a very smart implementation. It doesn't screw around with the partition table of the SD card. It just tells the system to mount the data.img file as the data partition. So no need to mess around with partition layout. And if u want to go back to usual settings just delete the data.img file! Simple as that :-)
