[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiefa00:
I copy and paste the best answer on the google support topic to here:

I did a factory reset from the stock recovery, too. Doesn't help either.

My phone arrived on Friday Samsung mobile repair in Texas. And like they did to ohter Nexus S devices from other users they will do the following to mine:

Reflashing the phone -> doing some functional tests ...

... and this is the crazy thing about it. The error we have is just appearing when the phone is in standby and because of this the phone passes the functional tests Samsung is doing at the end of the service. Phone goes back to user. A defective phone.

Some guy managed to keep the phone alive by setting the display turning off after 30mins. He is charging it twice a day ;)

I got a reply from @SamsungSupport on twitter:

The support team is friendly and to me it feels like they try to do anything they could.

Funny: One guy got a replacement device. But then no one other. Just reflash...

I think they will do something but on the other hand I'm worried that they will do nothing. But time will tell....

Maybe it would help us if Google will be aware of the problem, too. Ok maybe they allready know it, but I don't know that.

So if some of you here do have some connections... please do us a favor and forward this topic or the link to the google support topic. Feel free to forward this topic to any website you think it would write a news about it. Maybe Google will throw a eye on it. My phone is 8 weeks old and yeah this so anoying. And of course all my friends who are iHippster are trolling me like hell.

It don't want to flame or blame Samsung\Google for this.But our phones are in warranty. The error hits only a few devices and so they should replace it. My 50cent about it... this is not a Google expierence they talked about...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awe101221:
I also had the same problem and sent my phone into Samsung. They only re flashed it, which didn't fix the problem. I immediately called Samsung to inform them that the issue was not fixed and they just told me to send it back for "double checking." Do you think it is better to send it back in or just wait for fix to emerge?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
I will be sending it back and demand replacing the phone, also making sure they just don't re-flash again. I guess anything but re-flashing could work.

Remember that I've mailed my phone with one page letter explaining the problem. Their response was flashing the phone and sending it back - with my letter.

Here is note from the support team:

----------------------------------------

Original Problem:

Technical Inquiry

Phone Freezing / Locked U

Freeze/Delay Between Menu

Problem found:

NO TROUBLE FOUND

SW,PRL,OTSL RESET

Solution:

Passed All Functional Testing

--------------------------------------

@Samsungservice did not even acknowledge it officially that this is a problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awe101221:
Yeah i wrote a letter too explaining the issue and how to recreate it (the first time). They told me that it passed their quality assurance inspection after re-flashing it, which must be very poor because my phone shut off again 15 minutes after receiving it. Just dropped it back off at UPS today. Can they replace the phone because of this issue? I know one person had success, but it doesn't seem anyone else has.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discr:
Nexus S faulty

Samsung may not be able to reproduce it after reflashing; as this issue does not seem to occur when connected to a PC/computer via USB. Their automated testing could be over USB.

Looks like more and more people are facing this issue as the day goes by.

Search for "Nexus S fault state" on google and you'll find the google support forum thread discussing it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murilloinf:
Guys,

Did anyone have tried to flash a custom rom to see if this will solve the problem ?

cheers !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiefa00:
No, but this problem is not ROM related.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awe101221:
I figured that was why they couldn't recreate the shutdown. Made sure they knew that it has to be unplugged. Mine always shuts off within 10-15 minutes if untouched.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pphmmr:
I have same problem.Only remove battery helps. I have been having nexus s for 2 and half months and this problem just came last week. I don't know how to solve it. I tried reflash firmware but didn't help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiefa00:
welcome to the club. you have to send it to USA to get it serviced (make a extreme detailed problem description and make sure the support worker writes it down 1:1 into their ticket system). they provide a 2day ups shippment label, BUT only to locations in USA.

I can recommend FedEx. They helped me a lot with this duty stuff for shipping to USA. That's not so easy ;) . I paid €50 to get it shipped to a friend of mine in USA.

You have to send only the foreparts of the device. No battery and back panel, no charger and so on. But they will give you all informations at the end of the service request.

or: wait for a hotfix. which maybe never will come.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
Update:

I just mailed my phone again... they told me they do not replace phones (not sure what that means yet). The Rep was arguing that if I want the phone replaced then I need to talk to T-Mobile - it does not make any sense.

Anyway, I explained the problem as much as I could and did not mail any notes this time as they obviously do not care for it. But I made sure he included every detail in his notes.

I am very skeptical but still hoping....

Also,

About the part when the phone does not freeze when plugged in or charging. I had my Nexus S charging overnight and it was frozen in the morning.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
Update:

Also, I've contacted @SamsungServic via Twitter and asked if their team recognized it as a problem, but I've got no response.

On the other hand if you report the problem to them, they will respond that they will look into it - which means nothing, but if enough people asks the same question them they will have to.

-thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
I've got some sort of responce via Twitter from @SamsungService, here is what they wrote back:

@SamsungService

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are aware of this issue as some of us have your same phone. An evaluation is already being conducted to determine the fix. We don't have a time frame of the resolution, but understand it will be pushed to phones. We will advise once we have a time frame. Thank you. ^Mary

@Keinam

Does this mean we should stop sending our phones back for repair and just wait for your OTA update? If it happens?

@SamsungService

Many issues can be resolved with warranty service. Regarding the issue you've referred to,It is my understanding that a fix if being worked on which would be sent out OTA. ^Mary
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
I've got an update from Google (Paul)!! here is the link and then his answer:

------------------------------------------------

http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=44db6d8e31129d4c00049e8b65a3ce41&hl=en

-------------------------------------------------

Best answer - Paul (Google Employee)

I'm happy to say I've already got an update!

The original poster on this thread, David Eisner, was experiencing a problem with his phone that could be resolved by replacing his hardware.

From what we've been able to tell, the other posters on this thread are experiencing a problem that sounds similar, but can't be resolved with a replacement phone. Instead, they're experiencing an issue that Google has already identified and has remedied in the latest over-the-air (OTA) update, Android 2.3.3. That explains why David's problem was resolved by returning his phone, and why some of you got your phones back without being replaced.

If you think your phone is experiencing the issues described in this thread, please wait until your phone receives the 2.3.3 OTA. We're currently in the middle of sending 2.3.3 out; it may be a few weeks before your phone receives it. If your phone isn't better after receiving the update, please post back in this thread.

(FYI I'm going to mark this reply as a "best answer" so it appears at the beginning of this thread, for any newcomers who think they may be experiencing issues related to this.)

i have exactly the same problem,

any advices?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
Hi, no not really as I've sent twice my phone to samsung and it did not help. They just re-flashing the phones so everyone is seriously pissed off.

There is much more information here however:

I had a ear piece speaker problem sent it to Samsung they only reflashed but I called them back and then went it back I told them speaker needs to be replaced next time I got of it was fixed I think after the 3rd time they replace the phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus712:
thanks for the advise. Yes, they re-flashed my phone for the 2nd time even though it was freezing. That does sound to me like a good customer support.

thanks

So this just started happening to me... I now have to check my phone all the time to make sure it's still working. Looks like I'll be going back to my Nexus One for a while.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
If you have flashed a .51 radio and you have a TMoUS HD2 well then the phone is smoke. The only way to fix it is by JTAG and that's a fairly complexed way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slick007:
we are talking about europe version not tmous and the radio version was 2.15.50.14 which is correct !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
If you dont even get into the boot loader this phone is really f***ed up..

But are you talking about the tri color screen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slick007:
i have hd2 since it appeared and I flashed mine for more than 100 times and also my friends come to me to tweak their hd2's, but it seems that my friend did something wrong.

when I taln about bootloader I mean the tricolor screen.

the problem is that the phone screen is black and he cannot do anything, only that anoing continuous vibration !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
OK, I think the only thing you could do know is go to your provider and pray for a replacement. Dunno if the change your phone if it is bricked.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WarlockW:
Could try saying .. the phone locked up .. I took the battery out ..

and now this is happing .. Give it a try what can they say ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
+1

Would do exactly this. I don't think they're going to strip down the whole phone into pieces just to see why it isn't working. It's an older model so I think they will be fair and give you a new one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Yup go back to a store or call HTC.

Romania is part of the EU now so the 2 year warranty should be granted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Check that the battery pins haven't been bent out of place. They can bend very easily and if the pins are not properly aligned the phone can constantly reboot, which may explain the constant vibrations.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JDM Civic EG8:
He can also just call and say that the phone won't turn on he was charging it over night. And when he woke up to use it, The phone wouldn't turn on he tried the battery in a friend's hd2. It turned his on and you tried your battery in his but didn't work... they will send you a replacement for free :) Thats what i did 2 months ago when i cracked my screen. And before sending it in i flashed a .51 radio on purpose so it wouldn't turn on. I know it might be a bogus thing to do but i didnt have $130 at the time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setite:
Is anyone experiencing this. I have massive amounts of overscan. Also, when HDMI is connected a 20 or so pixel high black bar is added to the the top of the bottom task bar. It also noticeably scrunches everything above it on the XOOM. It is unuseable in HDMI. I thought it was the OC Kernel so I went back to a stock kernel and it still doesnt work. I tried two seperate hdmi cables, I am now at a loss. Please help.

I have not used a dock as I don't have one.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquellet:
The problem is not with the Xoom, but with your TV. Plasma TV's especially like to overscan so that the picture can be panned around to prevent burn in.

On my 60in Pioneer Elite, I had to change a few settings for the signal to display 1-1. I had to change the input to 'PC mode', and then change the 'Orbiter' to a different value (Orbiter is the automatic panning I mentioned).

Good Luck with your TV's settings. Some cheaper LCD's also overscan, which doesn't make sense because LCD's do not have burn in problems like plasma's.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Panny has a menu setting where you can set 1:1 pixel mode, but it has to detect a 1080p signal.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setite:
I forgot to mention that I have never had this problem prior to the xoom with many sources. I have a vizio and can't seem to find any overscan settings. there is one setting that seems to be autoadjusting to the xoom but i cant tweak it to work, only look slightly better. As the xoom is being altered that leads me to think the xoom is to blame. since It's getting squished on the XOOM.

EDIT: It now decided to stop working altogether.. other sources, xbox 360, htpc, file server PC, blu-ray player and AVR receiver are all working. I have read about people who couldn't work HDMI over the xoom. This is the first time I have ever had this problem. On the same TV the evo works flawlessly.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
mine looks perfect no overscan but sometimes if you let the orentation change it messes up.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
I do not believe the issue to be with the Xoom. I've tried HDMI with different displays, different sizes, and the results are not always equal.

For example, on one older Insignia 19" LCD display with built-in HD tuner, I noticed that several pixels are cut off on the bottom and top. On a different LCD, a 24" Acer, the image displays perfectly. On a 40.5" Sony LCD, I had the same issue as with the Insignia, pixels cut off on the top and bottom.

I could try this on several other HD displays I've got around here, but I'll bet the image issue will be hit and miss.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquellet:
Not to sound like a ****, but it's your TV. Vizio is an economy brand and they know that the vast majority of people will be happy with overscanning or never know about it. Next time buy a better TV. This problem is just a classic example of economics when it comes to TV's.

I bet if you hooked an iPad 2 to this TV - or heck a PC over HDMI - you would have the same problem. Please do not blame/bash the Xoom for this.

- end rant.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bguzmanz2:
I don't think its his TV, I have a panasonic plasma and it overscans. When ln the home screen the google search. Button is cut off a bit on the left. The right is also cut off too. When I plug in my macbook it doesn't do this, so I'm leaning towards a xoom issue...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquellet:
Do you plug your MacBook in through HDMI or VGA? A lot of TV's have a PC Input over VGA that does not overscan. I have never seen a plasma that does not overscan on HDMI(by default). This is done so the image can be panned around slowly to prevent screen burn in as I mentioned previously.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Just got my HDMI cable and I'm having the same problem with overscan. I do have a cheapie LCD (max res 1024x768) but I don't have this issue with my PS3 or HTPC. I'm betting that's because I've got the HTPC setup with a 1024x768 res and the TV autodetects the PS3 at 720. I believe the Xoom is having this issue because of the 1024x800 resolution.

OK so after all that, I'm convinced this is a TV issue and I can't see any way to change this in the TV options. Is there any app/fix/hack available to get this working?

Edit: Just had a thought... has anyone tried changing the resolution on the Xoom with the LCD Density Changer app? I don't have root but if that works then the list of reasons I should root just got longer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Vizio makes bad a$$ T.v.'s I have a 60" Samsung and a 47"Vizio and side by side are almost of equal picture quality.

The only problem I have ever had with the Vizio is with component in - pictures went very green - and I really think it was a problem with the actual device(wii).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychokitty:
Well yeah, ya do.:rolleyes:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenhunt:
I've got a Samsung LED tv and it still does the overscan, has nothing to do with the quality of the tv. And I as well have a Vizio in my bedroom, love the thing, worth every penny. Maybe someone can make an app that'll scale the hdmi out correctly...heres to wishing...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Are you rooted? If so can you try LCD Density Changer? I have no idea if it'll work but it's the only app I can think off that may change the Xoom's screen resolution.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenhunt:
Tried, doesn't do anything for me... :-(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeplessninja:
The black menu bar on the bottom rising is not an error. It is intentional so the picture outputted is a perfect 720p mirror. All the Xooms do this. As for the stretching this does not happen for me. You can see this in action on my own display below if you wish.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setite:
Didn't know this thread was still going. I know what you are talking about, the display on the XOOM squeezes to attain 1280x720... but it still was overscanning on the TV so I was talking about two seperate issues.

Terminal freezes as soon are you enter in su? Are you sure you were properly rooted before?

Also, are you trying the whole rooting process again (as in using rage to temp root)? This isn't necessary if you already have permanent root.

I have been missing alot of sleep lately so I probably am just missing something here. I just installed the newest gingerbread for my g-tab. I also have next to the newest version of gb on my phone (optimus v).

I just finished flashing the gb to my g-tab and i go into google maps and it pinpoints my location exactly. I don't know how it would have done that.

I was wondering if like the mysterious new syncing to google music in gingerbread is it syncing my gps location from my optimus v also, and after I logged into my google account on my g-tab it had my location.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorQMM:
Quick question... I897 with KB1 + voodoo lagfix kernel. Just did my first nandroid backup and it completed... however, it flashed some errors about accessing apps on external sdcard. This was from CWM RED (v2.5.1.3). I do have some of my larger apps stored on external SD (and all work just as fast as if they were on internal sd). Was I supposed to move these back to internal SD before doing nandroid? Does a nandroid backup just backup the internal sd? Thx gang.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liv33viL:
Typically nandroid through CWM creates the image from shall we say the local or main portion of you devices memory.

Suggestion - If you are space deprived on the internal SD, copy the APKs to you desktop (for the image backup) and delete them from your device for now. They can always be copied back to your int SD or ext Sd. This won't remove, delete or uninstall the application itself, but rather enhance space.

Another suggestion is to create an initial backup prior to the CWM nandroid backup with Titanium Backup first, then copy and store that backup, with all your apps) safely on a PC.

Hope this helps...

Peace-
