I just did the update....colours look more natural but i dont like the yellowish effect...

Brightness in default is setted full...did you leave it there?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Yeah you forgot to install CM7 which has those options.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
Flashing clockwork simply doesnt automatically give you root. lol.

After you flash cw, you should then flash the su zip. i believe there are several guides on here. rooting process have not changed with the new built.

[Nexus S General] Alimbocl:
Success! The file I downloaded came off a link from Engadget's posting. Maybe it was just a corrupted file or something that was messing it up. Where'd your link come from?
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
My link came from this thread...

And the file you downloaded might have been the update file for build number GRH78(2.3.1) that's why it did not work..
[Nexus S General] Jibreil:
Here's a change log that most have not noticed:

- The battery charges fully to 100% instead of stopping at 95%
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Wait, was that really a change? Can you link to your source?
[Nexus S General] Jibreil:
Yea for me it really is a change, as many like me on this forum are seeing the battery indicating 100% charge - upon disconnecting from the charger the indicator shows 95%, 96% or 97% sometimes.

Source: It's the direct Nexus S update Zip link on Page 39 of this thread.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I hope I didn't come off as sarcastic or rude, I was being serious. Its strange because though my phone was never at 100% when I took it off the charger, it was always over 95%. Odd.
[Nexus S General] Jibreil:
No I didn't find you rude or sarcastic - why would you be :-)

Let me correct my earlier two post. It max charges to 98% and doesnt go beyond that. After disconnecting from the charger, it shows 98% instead of 95% etc.

I dont know if this would be resourceful but I recently depleted my battery to 0 and fully charged it without powering on the phone. May be this has improved or fixed something.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Ah yea that does usually help. You did a partial calibration. Here is the full process, if you find you're having battery problems again, try this:

1) Drain your battery to >5%

2) Plug it in and let it charge to full

3) Unplug it and power it down.

4) Plug it back in, still off, and let it charge to full.

5) Turn the phone on and let it boot up fully and run for about 2 minutes.

6) Power the phone off again and plug it back in.

7) Let it charge to full again, still while off

8) Once full, boot into Clockwork Recovery and wipe battery stats in the advanced menu

9) Unplug your phone and again let it drain down to >5% before plugging it in again (you're already done charging its just helpful to let it drain all the way down before plugging it in again).
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
I also read somewhere that charging little and often is best instead of one long deep charge.

[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Interesting. I'd like someone who knows better to weigh in because that's exactly the opposite of what I'd heard. Hopefully someone like RogerPodacter decides to pop his head in here because he knows a lot about this kind of stuff.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Lithium ion batteries benefit from frequent shallow charges. NiCad ans NiMH batteries had terrible memories and needed deep charges often. Frequent deep charging of Lithium ion batteries is detrimental.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Thanks for clearing that up!
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Just to be clear infrequent deep charges can help recalibrate, but this should not be done with regularity.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I'm sorry if this is silly to ask but I'd rather be silly and clear:

I usually unplug my phone in the morning and run it down to about 30% (sometimes more, sometimes less) before I plug it in at night again. Would you say that qualifies as a "deep charge" and if so that it would be better to charge my phone at more frequent intervals and not leave it charging all night?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Deep being down to 0 or close.

A more frequent charging schedule would probably be better long term, but I'm guessing you don't plan on keeping this battery for 2 years (especially with spares for $8 on amazon)
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
You are very correct, sir. Hehe Thank you for making that clear!
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
so ive been reading through the entire thread...couldnt really find a definative answer:

Nexus S GRH78C with unlocked bootloader/CWM/rooted...what is the outcome of applying the update in clockworkmod recovery? i know you will get unrooted.

goal is to get 2.3.3 with out having to wipe the phone/restore a nandroid.

thanks.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
There is a 2.3.3 ROM which is somewhere, I can go find it if I need to...I think the thread was called "2.3.3 Link"...applying that through CWM would be just like flashing a ROM though I don't know if its rooted. Alternatively there are some stock Deodexed ROMS available in the development section that would be exactly like stock except that they are themeable and cannot receive future OTA updates. Those are available in four flavors: Stock rooted, Stock unrooted, Stock with voodoo kernel rooted, Stock with voodoo kernel unrooted.
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
i figured as much. thanks.

what about the 20.4mb update file from google? is that flashable on CWM? errors when doing so?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Its definitely flashable via CWM (anything you can flash in the stock recovery you can flash in CWM) but I have heard of a lot of people having errors. I had errors trying to flash the 2.3.2 update so I just decided to circumvent the whole headache and just used the NANDroid backup and Titanium Backup Pro to restore all my apps.
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
thats what i was worried about...the errors. and since it flashes the bootloader, what effect it has when flashing from CWM, etc.

i guess flashing the ROM would be easiest. trying to find most-stock solution...
[Nexus S General] kewlguru:
I have tried the same thing but I always see that system is up to date!

At least understood why the update failed for me!!

Thanks for the info.

Update::

I finally caught up with all the posts. Saw this link. I am going to try this
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
It's very simple, I just flashed an zip file that I downloaded from google servers (2.3.3 link thread) and I simply went from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3!
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
what were you on before? rooted? clockworkmod recovery? etc...
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
I had root+ 2.3.1 stock that I restored with nandroid backup(2.3.1) thread. When I started my NS asked me to update to 2.3.2 and I updated. 2 days after someone got the ota link and I just downloaded it and flashed it through CWM. Then i forgot to flash superuser (root) so I just had to flash recovery again and flash Su2.3.6.1! Now i am with 2.3.3 + root without ant problems!!

Got it???
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
ok so you were on 2.3.2 (stock rooted? no themes etc?) and you flashed the OTA file (~20mb?) in CWM...and got no errors?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
OTA files are fine to flash in a custom recovery as long as you have signature verification off.
[Nexus S General] brillantesdv:
i guess thats what causes the errors people are having?
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
My aignature veridication is always off i think i lt was because od that i got no errors at all.

I had no theme and I was fully stock, except for root permissions!!
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
so you guys can get this 2.3.3 from the Systems Update even if you are 2.3.2 stock ROM + rooted (locked bootloader still) ?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Yes you can, but if you still have stock recovery you will end up with a non-functioning Superuser app and no way to root without unlocking the bootloader.

Best bet is to flash it with a custom recovery and flash the su files before rebooting.
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
Oh forgot to add I have the Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5. Basically all I did was that guide that roots the NS without wiping phone.

I was j/w cuz I still have not received an update yet o_O
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Google did say it might take up to a few weeks to get the OTA out to everyone. I never received the OTA I just updated manually. I doubt your method of rooting is preventing you from getting the OTA, I would suggest you do it manually and do as Rusty said. That way you won't have to unlock your bootloader and you'll still be rooted.
[Nexus S General] stennett:
will I need to revert back to stock kernel before I do the manual update?

If so anyone got a link to do so?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Regarding the battery, mine is on charge most of the time I'm at home even if I have only run it down to 70% ill stick it on charge to top it up. I do one deep charge every 2 months where ill let the battery die and charge to full with the phone off. Think its best that way.

I guess I'm lucky. I've had zero issues with anything. No reboots, perfect gallery, no browser lag, no dropped calls. I leave my nfc on all the time and push 16 hours on a single charge. This phone has been my dream phone. Stock android is the only android.

Wifi could be better, but its never dropped off.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Ditto!
[Nexus S General] antz88c:
guess I'm also a lucky nexus s user, no nightmares here. The phone functions well for my daily use. Just want a more powerful battery though

C'mon 2.3.3, show us what you got :-)
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Out of interest does anyone have an idea as to when the roll out to the Nexus S will start? I'm guessing it will be a week or two after the release of the SDK?

what's happened on the Nexus line historically when a platform update is released?

It's not that I'm impatient or anything it's just that I can't stand waiting!!!!!

[Nexus S General] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading now!!!
[Nexus S General] stennett:
can anyone answer my question?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The update will fail if the custom kernel you use modifies things in the /system partition (like netarchy does) because the updater-script checks the md5 hash on the files before patching them, and if they're not the stock modules, it stops the patching from happening.

The full OTA, the one that overwrites your phone instead of patching it doesn't bother checking those things, though.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I just got my first failed app installation from the Market on 2.3.3. Thought this bug was fixed. Maybe it's because I'm using a custom kernel.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
How did it fail? Did it say Insufficient storage available or did it just fail?
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
****, yeah I meant to include that in my last post. I was specifically talking about the market app install failure for "insufficient storage".
[Nexus S General] stennett:
Cheers distortedloop for clearing that up, How do I go about reverting back to stock kernel currently on 1.2.5cfs netarchy?

Or is there and custom kernel which doesn't change these files i could install as a temp while I manualy update? Thanks for your help.

[Q] 2.3.3 OTA in the UK?

Has anyone in the UK received the 2.3.3 OTA update yet? I am still waiting and would like to do it the "normal" way instead of trying to work it out..

Anyone yet?

[Nexus S General] CB620:
I like 2.3.3 but 2.3.2 seems flawless to me
[Nexus S General] mayhem1983:
I'm in Waco, TX no update yet... :(
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
To revert to stock kernel you need to flash a nandroid backup image of the stock kernel for your version of the OS. If you don't have one, I've attached one of mine. Just put it in your clockwork backups folders and select it from the advanced restore menu.

You'll also have to restore any files that netarchy replaced on the /system folder that the 2.3.3 update checks for. With netarchy 1.2.4 the only one that was problematic for me was bcm4329.ko. I've attached it as well.

So you would nandroid restore the boot.img and then adb push the bcm4329.ko file to the /system/modules folder.

If you've modded other /system files that the update tries to patch, you'll still fail. Examples I've seen on this and other updates include things like having replaced a stock Market or Gmail app or that sort of thing. The update should tell you what file it failed on.

If you don't mind essentially wiping your system partition, the full 94mb update file doesn't patch, it overwrites, so it's more forgiving about what you've done to the phone previously.
[Nexus S General] dbairduk:
Yes I have, but its not been worth it for me

i also didnt get one, i am worried if my phone is not ok, will u please let us know when do u get it!!

Still waiting here aswell! Not to fussed as my phone runs very near perfect on 2.3.2.
[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
as said in this forum,the OTA runs by IMEI number, so the units bought near the launch date, got first. I got mine around 20ths of december and the 2.3.3 hit me on last monday. Other information to take note is that google anounce that OTA will run on "next weeks" , so it could take a while for the units recently aquired.

OTA 2.3.3

I didnt receive my OTA yet, has anyone here received the OTA update from Google? Many people here have just updated it manually so I wanted to ask has any here received it OTA????
[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
I haven't got it, yet, either.

It's funny because for 2.3.1, 2.3.2, I got it on the day when it

came out, so I had the expectation of receiving 2.3.3 as soon

as it was released, but nope. Not, yet. ;(

nothing here neither

I just received my phone a few days ago. I didn't get the OTA, and I was having intermittent issues with installing apps from the market and from the web-based market. After I reformatted the internal storage and did a factory reset, I received the notification to update from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3.

I got mine but im not doing it
[Nexus S General] CB620:

[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
May I ask why?

Is it because of the changes in the ways of displaying color?

or some sync issue with the Facebook and such?

The main reason I'd hesitate would be those two choices.

Although, color may not mean much to me, but the facebook sync

matters alot, and I'm aware of the "SyncMyPix" app, too but...

I just want to be able to use facebook sync as how they're in

2.3.2.

So 2.3.3 didn't fix this issue?!?! Ugh! I am so tired of having to warn people before we get into a conversation, that this may happen - and that I'll call them back, if it does.

So far, it's only happened to me 3 times since getting the phone Dec. 17th (of course that's 3 times too many), but I had hoped this latest update would fix this.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
mine came in last night around 11:30 est
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
I flashed the netarchy 1.2.5 kernel. It included the Voodoo color changer. I tried the 2.3.3 color scheme and it made my phone very yellow. I think my phone was one of those that didn't have color issues to begin with.

My phone never really reboots while on call. Mine locks up when hanging up lol. -_-
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
2.3.3

doesn't

fix the reboot issue, I still have the problem.

Well, it's not a "reboot", but the call drops and I can't turn on the screen for some seconds.
[Nexus S General] neu242:
2.3.3 definitely fixed the reboot issue for me. Earlier it rebooted once or twice every day. After upgrading the phone hasn't rebooted at all.
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
Rebooted first thing this morning during a 'normal' call then again later in the morning whilst connected to my car BT. Both were real reboots (Google logo followed by 'fireworks' X). Had a number of calls since & no reboots. Either there is more than one issue causing reboots or this update didn't fix the original problem - at least for me.
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
Interesting. Seems like a luck of the draw that it fixes the reboot during call issue for some, and for others it doesn't.

2 Questions for you both:

1) Are you guys rooted?

2) Did you manually install 2.3.3 or did you get it OTA?

I am not tech savvy by any means. I am just curious as to why Cowie is still having problems, and why neu242 is not. Maybe there's a connection here (rooted vs non-rooted and OTA vs manual DL). :)

I've seen more people ***** about the new yellow tint on the whites than the removal of purple or blue tint. I've read more posts *****ing about the new colors than praising them, but I don't read every post/thread in here like I used to (too busy personally, and too many new posts daily now).

Obviously this is YMMV thing, and personal preference. I prefer whiter whites. I think I preferred the old colors/gamma better, but not enough to worry about it. When I get around to reinstalling netarchy, I'll use the voodoo color corrections; they're the best in my opinion.

Holy god that color change is a welcome change. I can't believe people prefer the retina burning edition more.

As someone who works with color on a daily basis, this is for the better. Anyone saying otherwise is wrong.
