So what exactly is wrong with the original color scheme? Was it overheating the nexus s?

Your commnet is tempting me to update it but i've seen the majority of comments on this issue saying the color is worse.
[Nexus S General] :
The color was just tuned improperly and overly blue. I don't think anything was "wrong" hardware wise.

Color correction is something that's not usually done on devices off the assembly line. Apple does this, I'm not sure who else does. Google has gone ahead and corrected for proper color display.

The caveat is that people tend to prefer displays being blue rather than yellow. That's preference, blue gives the illusion of "brighter" more intense color, but a properly tuned device will produce better contrast/gradients and color accuracy albeit a little more yellow/natural. For me, literally going between boots of 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 was easier on the eyes, it will help with eye strain as well if you are looking at the display for long periods of time.

Initially switching from low brightness to full brightness would have seen a wacky color shift. This is no longer and issue.

An easy way to see what's gonna happen is to mess with your computer monitor settings. Switch between a high temperature and lower temperature (usually measure in 5000k, 6000k, 7000k, etc).
[Nexus S General] NexusDro:
NS owers should be happy! I'm always not very satisfied with the very blue display on my N1. Wish 2.3.3 has corrected mine also.
[Nexus S General] rob77:
Just yesterday I had to revert mine back to stock and on 2.3.1. No sign of any update here in the uk. I thought that I would have got the 2.3.2 update at least
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Does anyone else have a charging issue like the following?

Since updating to 2.3.3 I have noticed that when I check my phone in the morning it is still plugged in, however the charging icon is gone and it is consistently every morning at 97%. Now I can plug it in and it will start charging again but wth is going on?

I should note that this has happened to me on 2.3.3 stock, cm7 nightly#11 and Axura.

I checked battery graph and it appears it is charging to 97% then stopping. I suppose I should calibrate my battery again.

Only annoying thing I have on 2.3.3 is the Network Icons (G,3G etc) popping up when I'm connected to my WiFi. I can't work out why people are having reboots. My NS is a launch one and I've never had that issue. If it's software related wouldn't all NS's have the same issue?

I did it manually before and had problems with mms messages. Thats the reason I'm waiting on the OTA as it could be slightly different for us brits

It won't be any different at all.
[Nexus S General] markyboy_75:
I'm also still waiting for OTA update in UK, some people in UK I believe have received it. The 2 weeks is almost up, I'm hoping its here soon. Finding it a little frustrating. But then I've only got myself to blame for holding out for the OTA
[Nexus S General] Random Select:
I also haven't received the 2.3.3 update for my Nexus S and Nexus One. :confused:
[Nexus S General] royalsego:
i've yet received 2.3.3 either... oddly i received 2.3.2 in under 3 days
[Nexus S General] adnanbaig18:
Haven't received it either... it is starting to annoy me now. Last time I got it in 2-3 days. What can be the reason???
[Nexus S General] :
2.3.2 was a critical update, .3 is a feature update.
[Nexus S General] rob77:
I haven't even been given the option of installing the 2.3.2 update since I reinstalled on Saturday. I guess they are not pushing that update anymore
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
To be honest your best just doing it manually. Its the exact same update you will receive here in the UK. I do believe all UK handsets run GRH78C so just go to the link that updates from GRH78C. If you install the update meant for GRH78 then that might cause network problems like mms and stuff. I'm not to sure it would let you install the update meant for GRH78, anyway just make sure you get the right one.

2.3.3?

i just got my NS and i love it. obviously its on 2.3.1 but should i update to 2.3.3? is there any real benefit of doing so?
[Nexus S General] abo.saud:
the update will improve the phone stability and fix surprise reboot problem

also it will change the screen colors little bit

If you read the thread there's a link that says for GRH78 and one for GRH78C. You would get the GRH78 one. Jeez. Pay attention :/

@Daniel: download netarchy 1.2.5a and it uses 2.3.2 colors on 2.3.3

When the 2.3.2 update came out I done it OTA and I ended up with GRH78C so how come others had GRH78. ?

Edit: I know GRH was not 2.3.3. I'm just wondering why I had GRH78C and others got GRH78 because all I did was update to 2.3.2 OTA.

[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Root will not impact ability to get OTA...a custom ROM will, though. Also, why wait for the OTA, just download and install the OTA manually and be done with it.

Why haven't I received the 2.3.3 update ?

T-Mobile USA

Rooted via clockwork

Trinity Max kernel

That's it.
[Nexus S General] markyboy_75:
Well I'm frustrated by the fact that we have a phone that is Google branded a d suppose to receive ota updates and we have to manually update as 2 weeks on from when its released, we still haven't received it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Doesn't matter that you haven't gotten it, since it will fail on installation with your phone. Since you've modded the kernel from the original, the crc checks that the patching script uses would fail and you'd have been in here asking why it fails. ;)

Use the 2.3.3 nandroid image, or just grab the link for the OTA and do it manually, but to do that you need to go back to stock kernel (and make sure you undo any /system changes Trinity might make (like wifi driver or something)) before trying to update.
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
To be fair, if you want the update there are loads of links to it in the threads. Just download it ffs!!!!
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Google said it would take several weeks to roll out the OTA. They never promised it to anyone by a particular date...

Personally, I don't understand why it's rolled out in stages over so long a period, the server load can't be that great for a mega-giant like Google, but it's easy enough to do manually for the impatient folks.

[Nexus S General] :
First thing I do every morning. Nothing. I won't root. So I have to wait...
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
No rooting required. You just put the proper file on the root of your 'sd card' named update.zip. Then start your phone in recovery and select an option. It is fully supported OOTB. Not to mention the link to the update.zip is directly from google. This is exactly the same process that is eventually triggered to be done in an automated fashion by the ota notification.
[Nexus S General] :
I need a computer to do all of this, correct? I don't have one, only my Nexus.
[Nexus S General] :
No.

Download the file through the browser, move it to root of sd card with something like Astro or EStrong. Then reboot into recovery(volume up + Power). You'll see an option to apply update.zip.

You'll get to another screen with an android and a triangle, press volume up + power at the same time and the update will be applied.
[Nexus S General] laurentbon:
Hello All,

I am enabled to update manually from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 with the file, it throws an error, most probably because I am not running stock kernel.

Could someone point me towards the stock 2.3.2 kernel file so that I can re-install it and update?

Thank you in advance,

[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
This post should get you back on track: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11766902&postcount=596

I address netarchy specifically, but the concept is the same for all. I think the bcm4329.ko and the boot.img files are the only thing you need to be concerned about; but you should open your kernel mod's update.zip file and see what all it replaces in the /system partition. Things it adds aren't a concern, just things it replaces.

Announced perhaps but not available. Not unless I missed any sites that said its already available via OTA.
[Nexus S General] spamlucal:
What was announced a few days ago is a platform release (new API level), but they said nothing about devices. (so, no nexus s update announced, that's a separate thing)

It's possible that the notification you saw was about an older update, since what you're running isn't the last available stock rom.

How many photos do you have in your Gallery? How many different folders/dates/locations?

I'd love to see a youtube video of your phone showing you open the gallery so we could see how fast it opens. Your tolerance for slow opening may just be higher than some of the others who feel it's an issue (ie., yours is the same as theirs, but it just doesn't bother you).

On my phone, if I take a pic with the stock camera, and then click the thumbnail of it in the camera app to open the gallery, I get a black screen for anywhere from 10-60 seconds before the darn picture actually opens. Very annoying at times.

[DEV] com.android.npp NDEF push protocol

NFC is so important for Google now they released version 2.3.3 of the OS basically just for added NFC features, including 'simple P2P' which has a lot of potential for apps of many purposes.

The SDK v2.3.3 doc for android.nfc.NfcAdapter [see developer.android.com, forum won't let me link directly] says: Devices ... "must support the 'com.android.npp' NDEF push protocol". The internets wouldn't reveal what an NDEF push protocol is, nor what role the package-name like identifier plays in it.

As I want to get going ASAP to implement a PC-based counterpart to the phone to be able to e.g. push a picture from the phone to a PC, any clarification on the above appreciated.

who else is experiencing issues after the latest update 2.3.3

my phone was working just fine before the latest update, i think it's 2.3.3. now i have the following issues

1. ringtone keeps randomly changing for some reason

2. gallery seems to reload every time i open it, but not always all the pictures are loaded. some are missing and unless i reboot, they don't show up

3. back button keeps glitching once in a while repeatedly. basically, it just keeps flashing and keeps hitting back. this one is really annoying since i can't do anything because it keeps taking me back to home screen since it can't back out any further.

anyone else having these issues? can i manually install the previous update even if my phone is stock?

[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I'm not sure it's always true that features come at the expense of fixes. To the extent they do, I agree in spirit that fixes should get priority, but on the other hand, if the tech industry always worked that way, we'd all still be using Windows 98. The smartphone industry is a boom market right now, so it's inevitable that hardware and OS companies are going to pour the lion's share of their development efforts into turning out new products to stay ahead of the curve rather than perfecting old ones. Android suffers from this reality the most as it has the shortest product cycle and the most hardware/firmware fragmentation of the major smartphone operating systems.

To be clear, I'm not excusing the Nexus S's problems or Google's slow pace fixing them, I'm just saying there's a reason for it.
