Sill nothing here in the UK. I would like to see the Gallery get a fix because it is sooooooo annoying trying to open a pic and having to wait 30+ seconds for it. I also wish to see something done with the WiFi range because it just plain sucks balls lol. Apart from that im happy (not with the 24 month contract though!).

:D
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
i9023 has a SLCD screen and i9020 a SAMOLED screen. Thats it.

Android 2.3 only for Nexus S

check this:

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-23-reserved-nexus-s-android-24-also-gingerbread

Hopefully we will see 2.4 first on the nexus s
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
@ Nielsvg - you beat me to it, I was just coming in here to post the exact same thing. :) As long as the NS gets 2.4 as soon as 2.4 comes out (NO waiting!), then I don't care.

From what I gather, 2.4 is supposed to be better (and hopefully less buggy) than 2.3, so maybe we're all best off to advance to 2.4. Just a thought.
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
Only intrested in 2.4 if i can keep the non-sence original GUI i hate that curved of 2.2 its to busy and messy
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Anyone got it yet? Lol.
[Nexus S General] sarge363:
I'm pretty sure we'll get 2.4 first.....well do have the Google phone. Its the standard, what builds are made for.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
makes me feel like they should of put the Nexus S on hold and made it the flagship phone for 2.4 (or 2.3 if they didn't plan to release 2.3 and make 2.3 2.4)
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
That's what the Nexus One owners thought about 2.3...but they're still waiting. :eek:
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Google probably said "eff 2.3" we'll use our resources and go straight to 2.4
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
What's happening with the current Nexus One doesn't bode well for us Nexus S owners for when Nexus 3/Nexus M/whatever comes out and we're stuck waiting for 3.0, or 3.3, or whatever it may be launched with.

And really, two updates per year is not much to write home about. Granted, it's more and certainly faster than how OEM updates, but I believe that's going to change. You've already heard Tmobile and other OEM/carriers say that the importance of updates is a relative new thing, and that they're now beginning to get on the ball to be devoted to better and timelier updates. Didn't Tmobile promise that their phones will have the latest Android version updated within months? Of course, promises are just promises until we see them put to action (coughSamsungcough), but it should be interesting to see how updates are going to be handled in the next few years.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
That's because Google is most likely putting their resources towards Gingerbread 2.4 and scratching 2.3 totally. Besides, we always have CyanogenMod so we should be fine.
[Nexus S General] cosimoss:
I think that you already know the answer. No :D
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
Oh mann... A week passed - no news.. I hope update will be able to download till the end of this week...
[Nexus S General] johoja:
someone needs to get mobilesyrup to dump his rom.
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
Why do you go so far?

There is a lucky guy who already has 2.3.3 in Q&A section..

I don't know why he didn't still made a nandroid and post it, but he has 2.3.3 for sure.

UPDATE:

Right HERE
[Nexus S General] johoja:
I think that's i9023, it might have more differences in the hw than advertised you never know, either way I think we're going to have to to wait for the official update.
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
Why not to try? As i know the only difference between i9023 and i9020 is only SLCD display compared with SAMOLED
[Nexus S General] amjad_2020:
nothing for now .......
[Nexus S General] BiGMERF:
im confused , was there an update or not? cause i never got one
[Nexus S General] johoja:
Not yet..............................

According to a Google employee on the support thread for the reboot issue the OTA is almost ready:

Best answer - Ry Guy (Google Employee) 18-02-11

Hey all,

Finalizing the build for an OTA update has taken a bit longer than I originally anticipated, but we are getting very close. The team is working diligently to get everything ready, so hang in there just a bit longer. Your patience is very much appreciated.

-Ry Guy
[Nexus S General] :
The tension is unbearable...
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
Lol. Its getting heated in here lol.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Sounds like we will be probably be waiting another week or so then
[Nexus S General] DJTaurus:
Except the expanded functionality for working with the NFC,2.3.3 will also bring the random reboot fix?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Google doesn't seem like a company that has limited resources. They don't appear to operate under the "act like a startup" model the way Apple does, where one guy being pulled from iPhone OS to work iPad OS, or a guy getting pulled from Mac OS to work iOS means they losing project suffers from inattention...

If you have a solid, mature OS, how many updates per year do you expect? Without significant changes in hardware to support, there's not a lot you can do that's not just eye-candy after a certain point.

What phone OS out there has a track record of MAJOR updates at 2/year over any extended time period?

Apple's iOS is at version 4, and the phone's been out just under 4 years (so about 1/year there).

Windows Mobile has been around 11 years, and they're only on version 7 (6 really, since they sort of skipped over v4).

Similar stories on other devices like Crackberries, etc.

Granted, I'm not counting "dot" releases, and Google's kind of confusing with those anyways. 2.1 to 2.2. to 2.3 had some major changes in them that were more than mere bug fixes (like say iOS 4.0 to 4.01 was).

[Nexus S General] Aria807:
I wonder if they are gonna fix that ringtone issue along w/ the reboot one (not that my phone or my moms reboots, but we both have that ringtone issue).
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
To be fair to Ry Guy (the Google employee) he has never stated that the upcomming OTA will be version 2.3.3, he has however stated that the OTA will fix both the re-boot issue and the back/home button issue some (including me) have experienced....

It's my assumption that the above fixes will be rolled into the 2.3.3 feature update but of course it could just be a small bug fix release and stick with 2.3.2...

who knows....... :-)
[Nexus S General] DJTaurus:
You mean the reboot issue while making a call?....any link of the google's employee comments about the OTA?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
That's what this entire thread is regarding - as well as the source for the posts by Ry Guy: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1b777a366748b64f&hl=en
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Thanks :) that's exactly where it comes from. Also below is a link to another thread discussing the back/home button issues where he states that issue is going to be fixed as well:

Quote: Hi RobMac74,

The fix will be included in the upcoming OTA, so this shouldn't be a problem much longer :)

Cheers,

[Nexus S General] lovers74:
you shouldn't because the nexus s already can work with 14 channels, you can enable that option from WiFi advanced settings
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
So...

We have to wait because this OTA will be released soon and I hope this fix every NS's problems!!

I rooted my friend's Nexus last week, is the update going to unroot it? I'm not sure how google updates work.

I know if Verizon pushed an update to my Incredible, root would be lost (assuming i was on stock ROM)
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
YAAAYY!!!!
[Nexus S General] CB620:
I'm still on stock myself. With a unlocked bootloader. That's what I'm wondering. I want to see three improvements of the new update
[Nexus S General] babluc:
Bootloader stays unlocked but the update will most likely remove root access. No worries, root access after update comes fast.

How do you find the URL to an update from your phone if you get the update notification?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
removing the random reboots is good enough reason to to it ;)

I didn't get the update yet.... can somebody put it up for download? please
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I was a little bit confused about the changes in facebook because it generally installs as a stock google application so I assumed most of the general rules don't apply.
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
I've got a limited edition which supposedly gets the updates faster yet no updates yet :/
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Exactly.

I had never heard that the limited editions get updates faster. What I had heard is that you have a special battery cover and that is all.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nandika:
recently my desire hd started doing strange...

when i power on the phone it launches car panel. i've managed to disable that in the settings, BUT

when i'm making a call it puts it onto speakerphone automatically...

this happens when the phone is plugged in AND if it's not plugged in, so the charger cable should not be the problem. Maybe a connector on the mainboard?

Also I've recently did a restore with FULL-WIPE-1.2.zip, so I guess the problem wouldn't be software either, but not sure?

ROM: Android Revolution HD 2.0.9, 2.0.11, miui 1.2.4 both does the same.

Let me know if I should send the phone back for warranty repair, and what should I do prior sending back (S-OFF, orig rom, etc...)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewydler:

[EVO 4G General] akarol:
My girlfriend just got a brand new White EVO (I have my black one since launch date and it's been rooted since it was possible). I never tried playing N.O.V.A. until I accidentally stumbled upon it on her phone...

My impression? I'm actually quite shocked that Sprint included this with their new OTA. It's definitely too much for this phone to handle smoothly. While playable most of the time, it isn't something a company should be advertising when the hardware can barely keep up. I'm also shocked that the EVO can't handle it that well. My friend's Droid X ran it as smooth as could be.

PS - This was ran on an stock, unrooted, barely vanilla EVO. Perhaps a custom ROM and some overclocking fixes this issue?
[EVO 4G General] silverjack:
Runs fine on my evo...

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You shouldn't have bothered. You'll only get a bunch of replies from people who have mysteriously perfect EVOs. I have run NOVA on CM6/7, Sense and MIUI, all ran 'playable' but chopped up when things got busy. This will stir **** up, but all you got to do is play NOVA on a iPhone 4 or Galaxy S and compare. Its silky smooth, 60 FPS-ish. EVO feels like 25-30 with drops down to half that when a lot is happening.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
evo = crappy gpu haha.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I guess some people are easily satisfied, but if a device is packing some software with it, it should run flawless on my book. Right?!

I just don't understand their reasoning. You don't see Crysis being packaged with entry-level video cards do you?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
bingo.

Hence why you see threads where people are like

"its fine for now" or "its decent"

etc..

they easily satisfied with the ****ty gpu.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
If you don't like it then why do you have it, imo either stop *****ing or get rid of it
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's not about being easily satisfied, it's about what's available at the time. Technology will forever move forward and sooner or later something will run slow on a device that was the best of it's kind. They're not easily satisfied, some people are NEVER satisfied. I don't see anyone here trying to get a job with HTC or Samsung or any other OEM to develop something out of this world.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
On my P500 original ROM + custom kernel caveman , the interactive governor seems to work very choppy in video playback .

How does it flow for you guys in video playback and what ROMs do you use?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Works fine for me. What's the video's resolution, bitrate, and codecs used?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
uhhh I think all videos at 640X272 , 632X372 ( some tv shows I watch ) they run very bad . What I tested so far was avi , xvid . At around 1200 bit rate

What player do you use and have any of you found a player that can actually run a video with a rez above 640X480?

At 800mhz speed ( oc'ed the cpu ) and adreno 200 should be able to handle at least D1 rez or even 720p .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I've read a lot about the O1 falling short of the VGA resolution. Anyway, I get choppy playback with a video that's even less than VGA, but it doesn't bother me that much. For that video I used RockPlayer since every other video playing app I used choked the file out. So yeah, try rockplayer :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
I did try Rockplayer and that one works just horrible with almost every video . Now problem is if you have the full version . I only tried the lite version.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I'm out of ideas xD I'm actually waiting for the guys behind VLC to release a port. I've read somewhere that they'll be releasing an Android version soon :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
Still the problem pointed out in this thread remains unchallenged :D . How does the interactive governor work for you people and to those who have good performance overall with ( a bit better battery life ) snappier actions and decent video play , what ROM's do they use :D.

I'm interested to know because I think interactiv G. doesn't really work that well with stock ROM/.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] excor:
I can only second your observations. Im on stock rom with the oc/touchscreenfix kernel at 748 MHz. With the stock player and interactive governor vids are choppy but they play fine if it is set to the on demand governor. I even had vids aborting with an error message i cant recall right now.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
Exactly excor. That's why I want to know on which ROM , interactive actually fully works. Not being able to play videos is a big fault for me :( .

Also you should consider downloading from the market Mplayer . It plays videos very well and also adds a lot more functionality like Zoom to fit screen which we all know that most videos are ratio 16:9 and phone screen ratio is 4:3.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Got distracted by the video part. I'll be testing interactive governor now. Give me a day :) By the way, I'm on Light ROM(basically stock minus the garbage) and Der_Caveman's v3 kernel.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Update: Interactive governor scaling performs the short bench a few milliseconds faster than ondemand, and yes, I tested it a few times and not just once.

However, SetCPU has this little problem with reverting back to my default frequency settings when a profile has been activated. For example, my default setting is 768MHz max, and I turn the screen off(goes down to 320MHz, my setting). When I turn my screen on and check SetCPU, the max frequency setting stays at the one in the profile, and I have to re-set the frequency to set it.

Reverted back to on-demand :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
I tested today Youtube and I have to say this device has some serious issues in video playback :( . I guess it's either that ARMv6 is very limited in some categories or optimisations for it just suck balls :( .

HQ format on youtube worked horrible and after some time running it , it would give out an error : Cannot play format ( something like that ) . 800 mhz speed should be able to eat videos alive :( .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I've no problems with HQ Youtube o.O Even a video that's near VGA resolution plays fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
How about primev2? Do you think it has better video playback?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
im waiting for coreplayer android release ;p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
i dont know why but interactive hurts when scrolling on a page, switching through the main menu....i tried like all the ROMs here and m content with megatron and mik_os's kernel and set cpu set 600-245 conservative..plus i have a control over background apps using autostarts,watchdog lite etc...so even with conservative scheduling phone's snappy enough and video playback is smooth with nearly VGA resolutions
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peacekeeper05:
My phone plays HQ youtube videos really smooth and perfect. No lags, no errors no problem. And im not even OCd. I think the problem is in your software not because it only has armv6.

When i was on stock rom. Im using mvid payer. It works really good and smooth near vga res. (1gig for more than 1 hour)

. Never tried any videos res higher than that
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zero7525:
This happens to me too. It occurs when one switches too fast between apps/videos while using the youtube application or long uptimes. The only fix so far is to reboot the system, then it's back to normal. If anybody has experienced this, I would like to know too.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
ok what roms do you guys use? Currently I use LOL rom 1.2
