[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I agree that it sucks that the dispute is being taken to our palms but more that it had to be. The fact that Facebook assumedly refused to put the functionality into their app and that it had to come to this. The best course of action is to take it out on Facebook and not Google because it is they who have forced this on us.

Also, I saw your edit and I agree; a lot of the userbase for the Nexus line are hardcore Android Fanboys, myself included. Hell, I'll call myself a Google fanboy as I use my Cr-48 every day in spite of a few of its major shortcomings (lol) and it hurts that this dispute is going to, for the time being, only affect us.

I wonder if the functionality of the app was changed to instead of syncing the contacts from the cloud to forcing a download of the requisite information and syncing it to El Goog's servers if that would allow for the functionality to be restored?
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
I do not understand this entire thing. I understand why and support Google's stance on using the API and no special privileges for Facebook. What I don't get is why they will not enforce this across the board for all devices. I read this change will be in a effect on the NS but not the N1. That I just don't get.

Nothing here.
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
And it did.
[Nexus S General] BiGMERF:
Still nothing happening here
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
I'm sure there will be a third party workaround. Back in the G1 days before Facebook integration there was an app called "Facebook Sync" available for free in the market. I didn't see it with a quick search, but I found one called "syncmypix."

It's a pain either way. Oh well. I hope I can find a painless solution to sync my email addresses.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Still nothing... I also tried *#*#checkin#*#* :D and still nothing... Nexus series = updates drug
[Nexus S General] Mighty07:
I got the OTA.

Phone is on build GRI40 now, it was ~20Mb.

I don't notice any difference so far.

Awesome - loving the spamming. Lets see how many posts we can get to before a update.zip is posted. ;)
[Nexus S General] CB620:
i just loaded up cm7 build #5 last night when i see that the update is really out and about i will restore back to my stock build.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
that was a mistake lol from posting in diff threads. dont judge me:D
[Nexus S General] irenic:
I just wonder if it's true that Google wants to play hard on Facebook, and if Facebook suddenly decides not to support android anymore, who will suffers the most, Android or Facebook?

Will Android's users who is sooo extreme in facebook stop 'Facebook-ing' or they will jump ship to iPhone, Blackberry or Win Phone 7?
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I don't understand why google would do this. I am pissed bc I use the contacts sync for one reason, images. I think this is total crap. Google better get their s*¥¢ together
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
Probably just use third party fb apps. Anyone know any good ones, just in case lol.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
It's because Farcebook refuses to play by the rules.
[Nexus S General] aviramsegal:
actually its because facebook won't allow google import contacts from facebook to gmail
[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
nothing here

I heard that it will only add some functions to NFC, nothing about reboot issues... is that right?
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
I fail to see why your fussed about contact images. . . Just pull them from Facebook and assign them as the images manually if your that fussed, half the time people have random **** as their profile pic, so you'd have to read the name instead of geussing who that contact is with a peice of cheese as their display pic.
[Nexus S General] antz88c:
Damn, if I got the OTA, I could've posted the link right away. To those who got the OTA, logcat and share please :-)
[Nexus S General] Hagow:
I know everyone wants their update ASAP but look at it this way...we are the first amongst any other devices. Good to own a NS!!!
[Nexus S General] CB620:
reboot issue for those who are having it wil be fixed as well according to engadget.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
i have 4 other keyboards. mainly use swype and the iphone keyboard.:D
[Nexus S General] alberic000:
Maybe it's rolling out just for the NS right now... then the N1...
[Nexus S General] deeren:
i think that Facebook is playing hard this time with google so that it can boost the sales of the 2 phones it is releasing via htc.

and surprisingly it will be using android platform.

so my guess is this is just a marketing strategy!!
[Nexus S General] CB620:
I CALL BLUFF. :confused::eek::confused::eek:
[Nexus S General] antz88c:
Mighty07 said 20MB, this site said 89.9MB
[Nexus S General] CB620:
My Point Exactly I Was About To Post That.
[Nexus S General] :
Marketing strategy? As in HTC Android phone with dedicated Facebook button won't actually sync fully with Facebook. Gun, foot, kaboom
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
Syncmypix from the market works pretty well. I just tried it and now most of my Google contacts all have pictures. Now I just need a solution for other contact info like e-mail addresses
[Nexus S General] irenic:
I guess Google's moves doesn't stop manufacturer like HTC to allow facebook integration in HTC Sense.

So Facebook intentionally pissed Google off to boost its HTC Facebook devices !
[Nexus S General] bbiao:
can't open the link, can you re-paste it
[Nexus S General] Trebek:
search for "aLogCat" on the Android Market

(It would paste the link but XDA won't let me :()
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
I found this which should help:

I BELIEVE (needs to be corrected if not, let me know), the process would go like this:

1 - you see the notification of the OTA

2 - You will get prompted that it is ready to be downloaded/intalled.

3 - at this point, go open aLogcat

4 - go back and proceed with download

5 - go to aLogcat, save it and email it to yourself...

6 - paste it into this site (pastebin)

7 - send the link to your paste here so we can review it... trying to find the site where the OTA was downloaded from.

I just got the OTA update. But after the update, my nexus s's screen looks pretty yellowish. I don't think it's my illusion because it used to look quite colorful. what the hell... anyone got similar experience? thanks.
[Nexus S General] grubynawro:
Have you got a link to update from alogcat?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
If the update has been installed, it's too late to logcat.
[Nexus S General] CB620:

still waiting for the OTA alert to show up
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
Seriously?

Are people really that upset because of Facebook intergration? Really?

firstly, the "intergration" in it self is shotty, at best. EVERYONE has known and complained about this.

secondly, we are on a forum of a pure android experience, get a grip.

firstly, it could be a move of something better or preventing a problem. either case i really can give a ****. i do realize that the pictures of people will be lost, but you do realize at least we get to lose all those saved email addresses from people you dont talk to when you type in the address box.

Sixthly, you are all my best friends
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i don't even use FB contact sync, actually hate it, as it screws up all my Gmail contacts
[Nexus S General] TheAndroider:
Waiting for OTA.
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
I use it simply for the functionality of tagging all my Google Contacts who also have Facebook.

It's simple, it's one click and they're there. I don't want all my Facebook "friends" in my phone's contact list, but I would like those that I choose being accessible through a single point of contact rather than separate apps or, worse, having a massive bloated Google contact list.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Same. Tried it, hated it, won't miss it. It only successfully worked for like 20% of my contacts anyway.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:

Waiting for the update ...
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
When you buy a long awaited device that's unlocked, and you make a call to a customer, to discuss business matter's and your nexus s reboots not once but five times in the same day/same hour on the same customer, you would be pissed at Google for not posting a link before they tweet about it. I truly think that this rebooting bug is not software related, but hardware related. Google is just taking there time to tell us about this because of our money/bad press. So yes, I guess I'm very impatient for us all; not just me for this damn update. What? One day I might be getting butchered on the side of my lawn, make a call to the cops telling them I'm dieing, and the phone just reboot on them. Lol...Google has a epic face and I just jizz in my pants when I heard of an update release.
[Nexus S General] stennett:
I'm not convinced the update has started rolling out yet, nexus one users don't seem to have it either?
[Nexus S General] dinan:
It's a bit strange... I've run CM nightleys for a while now and have yet to experience the rebooting issues and I've been through 2 nexus S's. My friend's phone (also a nexus s, and also had 2 of them) runs the same ROM but I don't even flash the custom kernels on it and he experiences reboots and crashes on both his phones. Makes me think it's just the [unstable] applications that's causing it rather than base android 2.3 itself...
[Nexus S General] EpicAaron:
I don't know about it not being a software error, I have a Nexus S, I got tired of the random reboots, bought a MyTouch 4G, had no problems at all on stock, once I installed CM7 (Gingerbread) it started restarting every now and again >.>.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Ditto IF its incorporated relatively quickly. I'd also like to see if in fact it stops the reboots. If it does, and CM takes their time I will go back to stock. This reboot thing is more than a nuisance. The fact it took them (Google) weeks to figure it out is discouraging enough. Asumming they have. If not I have a real concern about this version of the OS and their ability to find and resolve bugs. This was an embarrassing bug to have been released in to the wild. Redmondian caliber mistake, and that is discouraging.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
If you don't have anything constructive to add to this discussion just leave. No one wants to hear it.

Back on topic, so I saw a logcat posted...did anyone take a look at it?

I had that problem when I first got my nexus, reboots during calls. I swapped it for a new one and it's been fine.

Did you get a new one from Samsung or bestbuy?.
[Nexus S General] randy92:
Would my nexus mess up if I just update to 2.3.3... I'm on CM7 rc1
[Nexus S General] Headhuntr:
IMHO all those posts about users, that they have it, are hoax. And there are different informations about the actual size of the update.

Google itself said, it will take WEEKS to roll out, so it will. So I am quite sure, no one has it right now. We can only hope, someone will find a working download link :)
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the apparent removal of Facebook contact sync in this update. Any confirmation on this from someone who's gotten the update?

EDIT: I know this is already mentioned in a couple other threads, but since this is a major thread on the topic of the update, I figured it deserved mention here, too.
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
Yea I'm not happy about the Facebook sync loss. Why is it we always seem to get screwed
[Nexus S General] CB620:
i dont really care too much for the loss of facebook sync. i care more for the loss of any good video chat apps.
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
Why are we losing video chat apps as well?
[Nexus S General] CB620:
we are not losing any video chat apps. im speaking about the lacking of them. im still waiting for a update from skype. all the other video chat apps are useless to the nexus but works for mytouch and the new vibrant/galaxy 4g
[Nexus S General] confiq:
about facebook sync, the point is that there will be probably tons of external application that will do this instead of official FB app...

So I'm not that worried...

And what video chat app are you talking about? :)
[Nexus S General] CB620:
i just would like a update from skype. tango, yahoo, and qik is useless to me.
[Nexus S General] brrip:
Neither, I'm in the UK, got it from carphone warehouse in January
[Nexus S General] antz88c:
Still nothing... what happened to those who claimed they "have" 2.3.3?

No pics, it didn't happen.

Anyone mad about this should direct their anger toward Facebook. Tell them to allow your personal info to be exported from Facebook.

Twitter does it, Yahoo does it. This is Facebook being a little ***** about boggarding user's data but not letting the same user take it back out.

[Nexus S General] vapor311:
For the record last time they announced the update was rolling it took me 6 days to get it. I'm in Dallas. They aren't exactly speedy by any means. However we all know if someone truly had it...we would already have it here for download.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Dude, calm the f*** down. Google didn't lie, releasing a new AOSP has nothing to do with releasing an OTA. They generally release AOSP after OTAs go out. Do you have any idea how many people own Nexus S' or Nexus Ones that don't ever root or think of rooting their phones and don't come here? A lot. We're a tiny minority. People are getting it and no one has lied. Just stop freaking out for a little bit as google said it was rolling the update out slowly and it might take a few weeks to get it out. so CALM DOWN. (Caps lock means I'm talking loud).
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.

It says

...so if the bootloader is locked, you can't "fastboot boot", but are you sure that means you can't "fastboot flash" a custom recovery and root that way (with the bootloader locked).

I guess we'll know soon enough when people start installing it.
[Nexus S General] laurentbon:
Does anyone know a way of ripping Facebook contact photos and copying them as Google contact photos?

Would like to do this before running the update and loosing them..

Of course it does, this is how the bootloader already is. Fastboot flash only works when unlocked.
[Nexus S General] nitsuajd:
****. It was the best way to do nadroid backups without root (Booting the recovery image)

Now we must flash, and for flash we need unlock bootloader...
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
I don't know why but it misses 2 friends (it doesn't list them as Facebook contacts and it doesn't count them).
[Nexus S General] SilverEagle:
The new bootloader remains unlocked for those who already unlocked it?
[Nexus S General] jonc:
Is there any way to grab the URL of the update having installed it other than using a checkin?

A friend of mine has the update, but when he does the alogcat and a 'checkin', he just gets a response which ends with a "FOTA_CANCEL" string.
