You will not lose your paid apps, they are tied to your google account. Use titanium backup before you unroot your phone to backup all your data, including app data. When you get your new phone, you will have to reroot and then you can restore everything from titanium.

You can try to get a warrantly replacement from Samsung rather than using letstalk, I think it's a pain to exchange with them, but I'm not sure.
[Vibrant General] zharptitza:
As said above, Titanium backup will handle it. I have my phone from someone on this board, so I had to go directly with Samsung. Once I could get the tech support person to understand the phone just didn't work it was easier. Don't know how that would go with the GPS. Mine was for the phone not working as a phone, ie, no connection to the network.
[Vibrant General] OuncE718:
I find that to be incorrect. My Vibrant has a 11.01 (2011 January) build date on it and the gps is horrible. I've tried every rom, but I do notice the gps being a little more better with certain roms.
[Vibrant General] remarquian:
Here is my story:

I phone up t-mobile and say my GPS doesn't work. They made me go through a four day dance trying stuff, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

They then replaced it with a brand new phone.

And they charged me $10 shipping & handling for the new phone.

Before the phone never could reliably get and hold on to a GPS lock; afterwards it locks in seconds and never drops.
[Vibrant General] zharptitza:
Hmm, threads I had seen were saying it was better. I have an older one that I just fixed myself. I was hoping they'd gotten their act together and fixed their antenna construction. Its such a simple thing to fix, you'd think they'd do it at the plant.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
False

False, I've personally used Vibrants made after 10/10 and the GPS is no better than ones produced earlier.

There is no change in hardware, and it has never been proven that a hardware revision on the GPS was made on phones manufactured after 10/10. Just speculation and rumor.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
Yeah, I think I've got to agree on this one.

In the gps case, I really think it is really a hit or miss issue. My gps works pretty decently but my hubby's doesn't work at all. Even when we were both stock, I could lock on some birds but his was never able to. On top of that, when I flashed Nero onto my phone, my gps got even better. Granted, I don't think it would ever see a thing if it was working on standalone; but with wireless networks on, this thing would (and has) pinpoint(ed) me on a moving train accurately.

Aside from firmwares (now), the only difference between them was the build dates: his - 07/10, mine - 09/10.

You guys sure must forget what its like to be new to XDA. Yes, the OP should do some more reading, searching, and also be a little more clear when asking something. But, honestly if when you were new would you have wanted people to treat you that way? I realize the OP's post are very... all over the place but honestly dropping all the profanity is not needed. XDA is being overrun I would have to say, but all your doing is going to cause more of these posts in the long run. Help him out now, and the posts more than likely won't continue as long as he is pointed in the right direction.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
No flaming here, and no flaming towards the OP. I do remember what it was like being new to XDA. It's just like anything new in your life-but it does not entitle you to be obnoxious and repulsive but more so the exact opposite. That is no necessary(or welcomed here or on any other forum. or for that matter anywhere in life really).

To the original poster:

Boot into recovery like you were if you were flashing a new ROM. If you are not sure what I just said, then before you apply any theme or mod from this sub-forum, you will need to have a rooted device. Not sure what I just said? Search the forum for how to root your Evo. Familarize yourself with what rooting is and what it entails. After rooting, find a custom ROM in the Android development sub-forum for your Evo and flash via recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then flash. In order to transfer any files to your phones SD card you have to do 1 of 2 things.

1. Hook up your phone to your computer after it has been rooted and change setting to disk drive and you will be able to find it in "Computer" as a drive

2. Remove the SD card from the back of your phone(under the battery) and insert into SD card reader and place files onto the root of your SD card. The root means do not place it anywhere other than the folder that first appears when you open your SD card up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja25:
I was new at one point to bro don't worry. Basically to get a theme, obviously you must download it first, if you download it from your phone its a little bit easier but if you download it from your computer you just need to plug in your phone. put your phone in disk drive and drag it to your sdcard. Very simple and of course make sure you get you know a sense theme for a sense rom(make sure its the same version too!!) and if you have an aosp rom make sure you get an aosp theme. Once it is in your sd card boot your phone into recovery by turning your phone off and turning it back up with holding the power button and the rocker switch DOWN. Go to recovery there and first thing you should do is back up!! So go to nandroid and backup!!!! After that go to install from sdcard, look for your file and install it! let it install and after it should prompt you to reboot device and press ok and your done! :)

Ok, so I am trying to connect to my schools wifi network. It is an unencrypted network but requires going to a login screen before you can do anything (like most public wifi networks).

My phone connects just fine but the browser never redirects to the login page. I even found the url for the login page on my laptop and tried going directly to it. No dice.

Any thoughts?

I am running cognition 3.04 if it makes a difference. Stock browser.

Also, it has worked in the past, although it was erratic. Sometimes it would redirect automatically, sometimes only if I refreshed. Now however it is not doing it at all. Its obnoxious becuase I use Y5 battery saver so if I turn my wifi off it turns right back on and in order to keep it off I have to go in and disable Y5, which I then have to remember to enable again later.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentooguy:
I had similar issues on a guest wifi such as your schools. Sometimes I would have to clear the browser cache then kill the browser app and reopen it. It was very annoying, but it usually worked. Cant hurt to try.

I had the stock ROM at the time, but now running Perception 10.2.

The phone gets its IP address (network address) from a server in your router. If the phone is connected to a WiFi network it will be visible in settings. Touch the network name that is connected to see the status. If there is no IP address, there may be an issue in your router. An IP address is necessary for internet communications.

Keyboard feedback...

I noticed today that I was going a little crazy with my phone with the gingerbread keyboard and upbruptly the feedback sort of died. It was like that until I restarted the phone. I remember on my vibrant that you could adjust the vibration intensity and I would set it lower but haven't seen such a setting on this phone. Has anyone else experienced their feedback dying on them? I was actually scared that i might have broken it but it came back normal after restarting. A bug maybe?

[Q] Keyboard Issues

Has anyone been noticing any issues with the keyboard on the Nexus S? At times I cannot type anything onto the screen or a the "Force Close" dialog box will appear.
[Nexus S General] Menace II Society:
Yeah.. I had this problem the other day. I posted a thread about it and didn't get any replies.. lol. It happened to me when I tried to use the voice action for the first time on the keyboard.
[Nexus S General] vapor311:
anyone else have keyboard issues

As im texting or typing into the keyboard on the net etc sometimes its just not responsive. Like some letters just wont click.

Im using stock 2.3.1.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Ditto. This is one of the most disappointing things. It's a shame Google's stock Android keyboard doesn't offer any deep features for custom text and custom auto texts like Smart Keyboard Pro does. They have an opportunity to really deviate and advance from the iPhone's keyboard, but Google seems content in just copying Apple in respect to the keyboard functions and lack thereof of more features, which I don't understand.

Unfortunately, even Smart Keyboard Pro has hiccups and miss-presses (especially with the space bar; you often get words likethis. Very frustrating).

Hopefully the keyboard will get better with future updates. Gingerbread, in general, is chalk full of hiccups. It is not lag free as most reviews claim.
[Nexus S General] pgibbons:
I have the same issue. It doesn't happen all of the time but when it does it is annoying. It's weird because letters around the one I am trying to push work sometimes.

I just have to delete the letter before it and keep trying to enter it again :(

I didn't have any problems with the Gingerbread keyboard when I installed the APK on my Vibrant. Weird.
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
never had this problem.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Only problem I have with the Gingerbread keyboard is that I wish the space bar were just a bit longer and taller because I often hit the "B" key rather than space. :(

But no, none of the issues you've reported on CM7 Alpha2
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I was just thinking that. The length doesn't bother me so much, but I feel like I have to shove my finger into the very bottom of the screen to hit space. I've taken to just using the word suggestion bar to auto-space instead. :P

But to address the OP, no, haven't noticed any issues with responsiveness yet.
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
This is why I don't really like most android keyboards, the space bar is wayy too small. I've been alternative between the "iPhone Keyboard Emulator" and Swype.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I can type on an iphone (or even an ipod) more confidently than I can on any Android device. The Android keyboard on Gingerbread is without question improved over previous iterations, but still a far cry from the accuracy and responsiveness of iphones/ipods. It's also unfortunate Google doesn't take their keyboard past Apple's in terms of customization and ability to add auto correct and other features. For example, I don't understand why we still can't long press to get every alternative symbol.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I like the Gingerbread keyboard fine, space bar aside. I liked Swype better, but unless I'm mistaken, that can't be downloaded from the Market. Not willing to pay to try SlideIT, now that we're down to fifteen-minute trials.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I have been nothing but in love with the stock keyboard
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I use Smart Keyboard Pro, best keyboard imo and I've tried them all.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
SKP is amazing. The customization and features are robust and fantastic. However, don't you find it often misses space bar presses on the NS? Very often you'll get words likethis. It's so bad I reverted back to using stock Android keyboard.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
When is Google going to implement Blindtype, which they recently bought back in October? I'm excited for the potential of this, because as is, the Android keyboard is poor when typing fast - it's error prone, it misses keys (particularly the space bar), the auto-correct is not as smart as it claims it is, there's virtually no customization (a cue unwisely taken from Apple), it sometimes doubles up on letters like sso, and etc.

I'm not attempting to start any immature wars, as I know this can happen anytime someone mentions the iPhone, but has anyone here actually typed on an iPhone, or even an iPod? If there's one thing that the iPhone commands respect in, its the keyboard. If you get a chance, try it sometime. The responsiveness is perfect. I truly wish I can say the same about Android's keyboard. Those who have tried both will understand the difference.

Has anyone heard any news regarding implementing Blindtype? Improvements are sorely needed. For those who need a refresh of what Blindtype is, check out the video demo: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/10/google-acquires-blindtype-to-improve.html
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Maybe it's because of how I type, but I don't think my old iPod had much on my new Nexus S in terms of its keyboard. It could just be because Android has had the benefit of a year of improvements since my iPod was functional, though.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Bump.

Anyone notice when trying to type "I'm" (letter i then m) really fast, it often spells out "km" instead? And even when you clearly hit the letter i, as you're moving toward the letter m, it hits the k inadvertently, and results in "km"? Anyone else? It's quite frustrating.
[Nexus S General] QuantumRand:
Not sure if this has been mentioned (I didn't read through every response), but the first NS I got seemed to have a grounding issue with its screen, making a portion of the keyboard unusable at times. Holding it differently or using my other hand to press the keys would work.

I was able to confirm that it was an issue with the screen rather than the keyboard by using one of the Multitouch test apps and setting the new Nexus Live Wallpaper as my background to test those portions of the screen when it was acting up.

Best Buy gave me no trouble exchanging it (just a long line).
[Nexus S General] csmall:
On my second Nexus S I have noticed what seems to be a similar issue. My troubled area seems to be the L M key region. Ill give it a few more days to make sure it's not just me and if need be I'll exchange it.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Indeed. Thank you.
[Nexus S General] Paparasee:
Looking at the video, it certainly appears to be a bug with the software. True, I cannot repeat it and true that the screens is so sensitive that keys are entered even as we hover.

Fact: in the video it was not a sensitivity issue as the fingers were nowhere near the keys in question when the repetition happened.

Fact: although I don't experience it, it does not happen - cause I actually saw it happen in the video.

Fact: there is a letter that loses its underline and creates the problem.

And, it can be repeated.

I've starred it!
[Nexus S General] bangarang:
I've definitely had this happen to me. I had always assumed the sensitivity was just too high. I believe it is, in fact, a glitch because if I type "wont" and I get "wwont", it will highlight as follows: "w

wont

" and the auto-correct field will show "won't". Now, if this was a sensitivity issue, it should try to auto-correct the entire word, both W's included. When this glitch occurs, the auto-correct will not register both W's. If I manually type in "wwont", the auto-correct suggests "Ewing", as it registers both W's.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Yes, excellent observation. The suggestion bar reveals what the phone thinks you pressed, and it should be right. For whatever reason, the software generates an extra letter, which the suggestion bar doesn't even recognize.

I hope you'll add your observation to the star report or the Google Help Forum report. It could [hopefully] help Google correct it.

Something else odd happened. I typed a message in tweetdeck. The last word wasn't in the dictionary "Griptillian" I posted my message. Switched to another app MMS and the word was still in the keyboard (text field). Not the whole word, but just the last word. Anyone else have that happen?

Thank you to the recent folks who have bothered to check and have corroborated my complaints about the keyboard glitch.

I wonder if Nexus One owners will be able to recreate the glitch now that 2.3.3. is officially rolling out to them. The more people that have the issue and star the report, the more chance Google will recognize and address this glitch.

Time will tell...
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Or you can look at it from a more positive standpoint and hope the issue doesn't exist in 2.3.3
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Indeed would be ideal if that comes true. My understanding is that 2.3.3 is an update primarily for NFC, and not so much for bugs. Given this glitch has only been recently discussed/reported, I am skeptical.

Of course, I hope I am wrong!
