[Nexus S General] psp888:
I have 2 Nexus S, one has been updated to 2.3.3 so I can create my own tag. I created a contact tag and tried using my other NS (2.3.2) to read it, but nothing happens.

Does the NS reading the Tag need 2.3.3 too? It's not reading anything where ever I place it near the NS with Tag.

How do I test my NFC is working on both phones, that the hardware is working??
[Nexus S General] atxandroid:
I have the same issue you are having. I would think the 2.3.2 phone should read it since it reads other nfc tags, but I am not sure.
[Nexus S General] aviramsegal:
Same here, the 2.3.2 device doesn't read the 2.3.3 tag
[Nexus S General] SooSpecial:
[OFFTOPIC]

Since you guys have 2 NS's, could you please take a photo of the screens next to each other so we can see the real difference between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3?

[/OFFTOPIC]

Sorry I can't test this! :)
[Nexus S General] d.chatten:
The only way to delete "my tags" is to go to settings > applications > tap the all tab at the top and then find and tap "Tags", NOT "Nfc Service", now tap "force close" then tap "clear data".
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Did you check the box to Share your Tag? An NFC icon should appear on the Status Bar now, also make sure there's a checkmark on the Tag you want to share.

And if you have a newer passport/passport card or a debit/credit card with Blink on it, you can test your Nexus S by swiping those (It'll come up with unknown tag)
[Nexus S General] psp888:
looks like the nexus can't read contact tags, but if I create a url tag, the other nexus s can read it.
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
Just a suggestion and I'm not sure of the long term implications of this, but I was thinking those who want to avoid the hassles of getting the new bootloader that prevents fastboot boot and flash on locked bootloaders could try the following.

Unzip the update patch file to a folder on your computer.

Delete the bootloader.img file.

Use a text editor to open the file called /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and edit out/delete the following lines at the very end of the file:

ui_print("Writing bootloader...");
assert(package_extract_file("bootloader.img", "/tmp/bootloader.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/bootloader.img", "bootloader"),
delete("/tmp/bootloader.img"));

Rezip the folder with the altered files in it.

Boot to clockwork recovery and apply the update zip file with CW (since it's now not signed properly and stock won't do it.

We've had success with this type of modification to the update patch file from Google with people who modded /system files (like replacing gmail or the market app) that got failed updates on 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 updates.

I'm a bit pressed for time, but I may try this myself this weekend. I'm not in a big rush to update yet, though. I'm waiting for things like my custom kernel to become 2.3.3 friendly.

I've made a zip file that has the two changes I suggested above if anyone's brave enough to try it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/432767/NoBo...9e.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78C.98f3836c.zip
[Nexus S Android Development] jamiemac1977:
Bit late to the party i'm afraid, allready updated and flashed 2.3.3 update zip. I have lost my root and do not want to "fasboot oem unlock" yet...

My bad for being impatient as normal ^^

I will hold any actions and watch what solutions arise if any. Nice to see some methods being worked on :D
[Nexus S Android Development] hourst2:
Could you not flash back to stock using Odin and then apply the bootloaderless update after? Just an idea . . .
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Is there any risk of bricking? If not I don't mind trying it.
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
There is always a risk of bricking especially when playing with the bootloader.
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
But we're not messing with the bootloader per se, we're preventing the update script from checking it and reflashing/updating it.

Still, there's always the risk of bricking as you say.
[Nexus S Android Development] mortzz:
Slightly off topic, buy why go to all the trouble when fastboot oem unlock is painless and 100% reversible? Why intentionally hobble along on a gimped locked bootloader?
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
Because why not try? I'm not being sarcastic, ironic, facetious or anything rude, seriously; Why not? We have a phone that in terms of recent devices has an unprecedented amount of freedom in terms of rooting and unlocking of the device, why not push that to the limit and see just what can be done. Also, lets be honest, having your SD card wiped by the

fastboot oem unlock

command is kind of sucky. Sure you can copy all of your files to your computer then copy them all back but that isn't a short process and its boring as hell.

EDIT: @distortedloop: You know I trust you man, my point with my earlier comment is that running an outdated bootloader could very easily lead to an unbootable device, moreso than flashing a custom ROM so I was just being as honest and blunt as I could be ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] terryhau:
I updated the bootloader using:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

The bootloader stayed unlocked.
[Nexus S Android Development] reddv1:
You can replace the new bootloader in the update with the old bootloader, here's a link for the old bootloader Bootloader_I9020XXJK1
[Nexus S Android Development] kenvan19:
Has it been tested to work properly? It meaning the the old bootloader?

Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Google Nexus S!
[Nexus S Android Development] reddv1:
I've been using it with 2.3.3 for the past day and it works perfectly, booting CWM and kernels without an OEM unlock.
[Nexus S Android Development] CB620:
Get Root Back With This Restore.

if you have clockwork mod use this as a restore and you will have a rooted 2.3.3 its the easiest way to do it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c1ww7zb837uycbk

just unzip and put the backup folder in your clockworkmod recovery folder boot into recovery and restore 2.3.3 takes 2 minutes and you will boot up with a rooted 2.3.3
[Nexus S Android Development] CB620:
also kept my bootloader unlocked. and i can flash back to any of my roms with no hassle keeping everything in tact.
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
Ah thanks, I've been looking for that...

I'm going to link it in my root without unlock thread to help people who can't root now that they've updated with locked bootloaders.

No worries on the outdated bootloader....that's why I said "I don't know the long term implications of this."

Everything you said, I couldn't have said better myself.
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
But that defeats the whole point of not wanting to lose and restore your data, since the nandroid will write over all your stuff...

It also doesn't help those who end up with a locked bootloader and no root, since they can't access clockwork.
[Nexus S Android Development] CB620:
When I did it I kept my root and unlocked bootloader. If people didn't rush to update than they would have kept everything. I was able to restore my apps and all when I updated to the rooted 2.3.3
[Nexus S Android Development] mingkee:
Will relocking bootloader wipe the phone?

I did "fastboot oem unlock" and everything is erased (it's not big deal as I always backup data).
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
No, the lock won't wipe it, just the unlock.
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
Yes it will. Both locking and unlocking (via fastboot oem lock/unlock) will wipe your phone.

[Wildfire General] xynok:
whenever i flash cm7 rc1 it doesnt seem to work. it installs fine but whenever you try and do anything like loads the market or open messaging it freezes and the phone restarts to the cyanogen boot screen meaning its unusable and this keeps happening, it seems really slow and sometimes when you click on a box it takes like 30 seconds for the keyboard to pop up. i am rooted but not overclocked and this hasnt been a problem for the numerous other custom roms ive used. im using cm 6.1 now which works fine and i tried a few of the nightlys for cm7 and they were fine too. any ideas for the rc1 issue?

everyone else seems to have it running smoothly?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Flash HCDR.Kernel v4.1. The RC1 comes with 4.2 pre-installed which overclocks the phone to 768 Max and 19 Min (Not sure on Min), which will cause instability.

Alternatively, you can use SetCPU to tune the speeds yourself.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barqers:
The makers of Cyanogen Mods don't own samsung phones. They own HTC phones. So the chances of them porting to the SG3 it's very low. Specially since it's a lower end phone compared to the Fascinate and Spica. I think there's a CM for SGS.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeqwerty:
They might not be having this phone but saying that they do not work on low end device is incorrect. Htc wild fire is also a low end phone. Gs3 is better than buzz in many ways.

Slingbox on Xoom

The app works great on Xoom but is exactly the same as the application for the Android phone. Therefore if you purchased the application for your Smartphone no need to purchase it again for the Xoom.

Also since its the same app the controls could use some tweaking but overall it does what its suppose to and with good bandwidth the video quality is great.

Your Welcome. Please 'Thanks' me , helps me out a little. I run daily videos of different applications on Xoom so you can check out my channel through that link to see other vids, as well as request Apps you want to see in action. http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas

The app itself is as flawless as the video depicted. Setting up the hardware initially for use over the internet can be a little tricky and its hard to make a generic video on how to set it up because the tricky part depends on customizing some port forwarding on your router. But if anyone is having issues with this setup just send me a private message. You probably shouldn't ask for help with the hardware setup in this thread because it doesn't really pertain to the Xoom itself.

From reading up on the device it looks really impressive. Especially with the HDMI In and the ability to have its own DVR. Thank you for sharing I am going to check it out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procinctu:
For those that are on Dishnetwork with a VIP 922 or 722 with Sling adapter there is a free application. It shows up on the cellphone market, but not the tablet.

I downloaded the latest phone version in apk format from another site and installed it on the Xoom. The latest version has the HD mode that was just released on the normal Sling player. The browse portion is verticle, but when you play a video it switches to horizontal. Working great for me so far.

I have a Sling Pro-HD coming tomorrow and I am going to see how that works on other devices. If the quality is good I am going to hook it up to a device such as one of my Blu Ray players that has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon on it to see how that looks and works.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwboston:
I didn't have to search for it. I have it loaded on my phone (Dell Streak) so it showed up automatically in my list of apps in the Market on the Xoom the first time I turned it on.

I have the slingplayer app on ea bunch of devices. I have it for the ipod touch, my Droid, I even have a Windows license of it from when I had a Winmo phone. I have one of the older Slingbox AV devices and I gotta say it's been great. Now that I can hook the Xoom up to HDMI I can literally watch tv anywhere I am. I am traveling this weekend, hotels typically have HDMI inputs and wifi so I always have my tivo with me. I used it on my last trip to watch local news at night back home. The controls aren't perfect as mentioned above but they're pretty good. I use the app almost daily either on my phone on the Xoom. Most people complain about the cost of the app but to me it's worth it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drum747:
One thing if you decide on the Vulkano, just get the "platinum" version it has the same abilities that the other units have but does not come with an SD card or hard drive but they can be added for the dvr feature. With the free apps for all devices, I think its the best deal going. Good luck!
