[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
The Nexus S 4g would be a different phone in that it was a "google experience phone" so while virtually identical hardware wise (with the exception of lacking a keyboard and adding NFC) the software experiences would be so drastically different it isn't the same phone.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
That's what I figured, truthfully. I just had a little bit of hope that maybe it could be possible.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
People complain just to complain sometimes....

Phones break every so often no matter what....

The Nexus S is a over-hyped phone, sadly dual-core phones are becoming more popular...

We need a good Motorola android phone on sprint...
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Hardly, Motorola is not a company anyone on here should want to support, they are doing their damndest to make it so people can't flash ROMs on their phones with locked bootloaders and a go f yourself attitude towards anyone interested in running a custom Rom.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
What we need is a phone with a nice screen that is running an OMAP4430 dual core with a PowerVR SGX 540 clocked @ 300mhz. The Optimus 3d has that. If the 3d Evo phone has that, why would anyone even consider something different? Pairing the best dual core with the best GPU and the best Sprint developer supported phone?? Yes please.

Seriously, look up some benchmarks on anandtech for the Optimus 3d. Sick. And it has our GPU clocked 50% higher, which is amazing.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
Oh really?

Lately I have seen some cool designs for their phones lately....

It's either gonna be htc or samsung....

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Hell yeah Motorola encrypts their bootloaders. Maybe dome custom Roms but no kernels at all. Also the toms have to stay on the same android version.

[Epic 4G General] DAvid_B:
Maybe this explains the sale prices ad Radio shack and Target for the Epic?

I could see Sprint dumping the Epic and replacing it with the Nexus then telling people that want keyboards to get the Evo shift. :(
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah. Sprint has always shot on the epic for done reason. Its a better phone than the evo but it could be alot better with more support. If it wasn't for the developers on here I would have gotten rid of it by now. Thank you developers. U are appreciated

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboy15:
what is the stock kernel of the nexus s 2.3.2?!?!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
im confused on what you're asking for?

download a CM7 based on 2.3.2 and you'll get the stock kernel for 2.3.2 although this will replace your ROM (build #11 or before)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokuman56:
Hello,

I was just wondering what the best kernel was for a sense rom user who wants the best battery life. I don't want any trickle charge kernels because I am scared of what could happen to my evo.

So... in your opinion, what is the best battery life kernel for MYNs RLS (the one with sense 1.0 and 4g) without trickle charging?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3poptart:
Everyone's phone reacts differently to kernels. Your phone may like netarchy kernels, ziggys kernels, baked snacks, etc. My phone liked net's kernels. Also, be aware that there are 2 kinds (bfs and cfs) of kernels. I had to try out a few and let them settle in for a day or two so you can see what kind of battery life you'll get. If you use setcpu, you might want to see what governors you can use with the kernel. some may or may not have a smartass governor for example. Just remember to clear your cache before you flash a new kernel. Oh and idk if you need to but I usually wipe battery stats too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madflasher:
try the 4.3.1kernels with "no sbc" its hard to say one or the other is best... every phone/user settings differ.

use this to help on some of the terms.

i currently use 4.3.2 cfs sbc less havs

i was using 4.3.2 cfs nosbc havs more and got good battery, just trying a few out i can always nandroid back.

remember now when flashing new kernels its good to go thru 2-3 full charge cycles. whats happened to me in the past is after a new flash my battery would drop, so calibrate, there are steps somewhere in xda? for calibration. i just charge, then use the **** out of it...then charge fully...use normally then gauge your batt life.

-hope this helps.

Hey guys I've got my phone's Swype with bunch of languages in it.

I tried to install it on CM7 w/o success (Swype wasn't seen by the OS and it's probably licencing stuff)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malismalis:
I just wanted to flash a new rom for my hero and I couldnt choose which one. I need that this new rom runs without lag. I need working camera, wifi, gps, bluetooth, trackball light and notification lights. Also I need apps2sd, custom kernel, and maybe some lagfixers.

An ideal would be a rom with sense ui.

I hope that you can help me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SummonerOfDeath:
First of all - no way to get sense for you at the moment.

Android 2.2 with sense: camera not working, villain devs are working on it, dunno when they're ready.

Android 2.3 with sense: simply inexistant ;)

But you can get homescreen Sense feeling with LauncherPro or something alike, look for "home screen replacement" or "launcher" in market.

For the question of a good Android 2.2/2.3 custom ROM:

Android 2.3:

Elelinux 1.2:

CynogenMod7 - Mod, lots of cool features, lots of eyecandy :D (example: customizable lockscreen, overscrolling effect etc.)

TastyGinger by RaduG:

AOSP Mod, less special features than Elelinux, but with a very nice High- resolution - effect (called low-dpi) and no ads in games and browser

Android 2.2:

Haven't got much experience on this, try chocolateFroyo or some stuff of elelinux, maybe others can give tips here... only advantage of Android 2.2 in my opinion: NAVIGON works ;)

in 2.3 some problems with some programs may occur cause it's still new...

[Nexus S General] CB620:
Its gonna have touchwiz that sucks. The original will be better.
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
No TouchWiz. Shame on Engadget for putting together such a confusing description.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
so touch wiz or no?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Not really, had to read it again, but they are assuming the Nexus S model number is most likely SPH-D720, since the D600 has WPS support which is only available for Touchwiz devices (WPS is not available for stock Gingerbread devices). That's what I got from reading that sentence.

So it has to be stock Gingerbread. Nexus named phones has been branded to be stock devices. So if they did put customized Android versions on a Nexus named device, then they will probably get a bad backlash from the community for it.
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
Don't get too upset. A) it'll be on Sprint/NASCAR, and B) will require two radios to use the WiMAX. So if you thought your battery life was poor on your NS now, just you wait!
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Im looking for something to replace this phone with anyway. Either a iphone or the optimus
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
1) Nexus line doesn't get carrier bloatware. And sprint football is actually a great app.

2) I used a sprint wimax phone for 6 months. I don't care that its on sprint I care that Google is allowing our device to be superseded months after its release. We all know our phone should have had 4g to start with and u bought it as the premiere Google device under the impression that I wouldn't be ****ed by Samsung releasing a new version a few months later. Its ****ing pathetic.

Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
Hopefully they take the time to add a second noise canceling microphone. Because the voice quality of the original nexus s was atrocious compared to the nexus one.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
Pretty disappointing.. However, I remember reading a few weeks back when people were mad about the fact the original Samsung Vibrant was 3g and then they were releasing the 4g.. Samsung said that the original Vibrant was fully capable of 4g speeds.. So i'm wondering if its the difference of a radio ? I really dont know much about the technical aspects, im just repeating what I read.. I think it was on BGR.com..

Its funny though, I haven't purchased a samsung phone in years, then this came out and I jumped on it.. If this is the game google is going to play, iPhone 5 is going to be looking VERRRRRY attractive to alot of people, with polished build quality and little to no bugs.. Easy decision if you ask me.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
You're exactly right. I played this game with Samsung on my Epic 4G and I bought a Nexus S because I wanted to feel like my phone was top of the line for more than a week and that was true of the Nexus One for a long time. It was stupid to release the Nexus S without HSPA+ support given that it the technology was more than available. I've been an Android guy from the beginning. I never wanted an iPhone but you know what? I'm starting to like the way regular updates and support for later iterations. You know what Apple does for people who purchase a current iteration of a phone close to when they announce a new one? They give them money back. What did Samsung do for Vibrant owners when they released the Galaxy S 4G (C'mon its a Vibrant 4G)? Nothing. They left them to twist in the wind and if Google is allowing that to happen to Nexus users here, I'm pretty done with the platform. I'm not paying money to a company that stopped caring about their current devices 10 minutes before they came off the line.

Its pathetic.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Iphone it is.
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
$80 per month on sprint or $50 on T-Mobile. I think I'll stick with T-Mobile. I quit sprint for this phone anyway, haha.

Also, I'd rather have T-Mobile 3g than wimax/cdma. Better battery life all around. And really guys, do you really need to download anything on a phone faster than 5-7 mbp/s?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
To me its not about the download speeds or the money. I too came from Sprint to get this phone. Its a matter of moral standards and care for your customer base, which this move shows that Google cares about neither.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
You can’t stop, you can’t stop progress. You can't stop, you can’t stop, no, no, no.

(nor do I think we should).. Sorry man, I'm on google's side here. Can't stop trying to raise the bar just because someone that didn't think their phone would see faster ones released after it would be butthurt.

Tmo ns still rocks, regardless.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I can't figure out wth you're trying to say in that first line but I assume its something to the effect of you can't stop progress and I'm not asking that. I'm asking that they not release a phone with certain features and with certain features lacking then release the same phone with the features it lacked a few months later. There is no "progress" progress here. Sprint's first WiMax phone was released in July of last year; 9 months ago. Tmobile's first "4G" phone? November 2010; 5 months ago. Verizon was behind the curve but they are using completely different technology. When the Nexus S was announced there was already one semi-4G phone (T-Mobile G2) and one full 4G phone (T-Mobile MyTouch 4G). Where is the "progress" in releasing the same phone with a feature that already existed. If they released a Nexus 3 with dual core, sure I'd be angry that they announced it a mere 2.5 months after the previous iteration was announced but it would be a different phone. This is the exact same phone with feature that should have been released with the original added in for ****s and giggles. Its not "butthurt", its moral indignation. The same moral indignation I'm sure Vibrant owners felt because that was just as bull**** a move.

And how is this a faster phone? Its literally the exact same phone? Am I "butthurt" it didn't come with a dual core? No. I think its a little silly but I still love my phone, or loved I should say. Am I "butthurt" that the Galaxy S 2 does have a dual core? Or that the G2X is dual core? **** no. I chose this phone because I thought it would be supported for at least 6 or 7 months and this is a pretty ****ing clear indication that Google doesn't give a flying **** about the current user base.

Oh, and WiMax sucks. Its by far the worst implementation of "4G" and the company pushing it out (Clearwire)is in pretty significant financial trouble as is the company paying for the services (Sprint). Verizon and T-Mobile have much better existing coverage for their "4G" and have higher speed potential with existing hardware. There is no progress here, its just shafting a bunch of users for a feature that should have been included to begin with.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
Get over it man. It's not a big deal, even in principe. I've bought 3 phones in a year (n1, g2, ns) so I am definitely not one to sit idly while my phone ages and be complacent with it. I just like gadgets. But this is just the way this industry works. I personally don't care if my ns supports hspa or hspa+. You'll never notice the difference in day to day unless you download gigabytes of data a day. Tmo supposedly caps you after 5 anyway. (i usually only use about 300M/mo because I jump on wifi every chance I can.

Also, google isn't dropping 'support' for this phone just because sprint us getting a 4g version. On the contrary the 'platform' is widening. Did the at&t version that passed fcc have hspa+?

Those were Clutch lyrics. One of my favorite bands.
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Glad to see people are realizing what terrible customer service Google has. They just don't care. They're concerned with getting Android on as many devices as they can so they can rake in the ad revenue. They're just happy releasing stuff in perpetual Beta
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I've owned four phones in the last 6 months (MT3G, Epic 4G, Evo 4G, NS all of them bought in the last year the last three in the last 6 months). You'll never see the difference between 3-5MBps and 20+MBps in daily use? Really? Typically, it takes my laptop (on comcast cable) less than a second to load the Engadget website whereas my phone takes 5, sometimes 10 seconds to load the same page on 3G. On WiMax (with a theoretical topspeed of 20MBps but it runs more frequently around 10MBps) it loads around the same time. On T-Mobile's HSPDA? It would be faster than on my computer. Sure, I'm on WiFi a good portion of the time but when I'm not it is often painfully slow trying to do anything.

For example, the other day my wife was getting fed up with Swype while she we were both at work. She wanted to use the keyboard I use (a modified gingerbread keyboard) so I tried to email it to her but the 5.25MB file just sat in my phones outbox for 20 minutes. So I decided to upload it to my dropbox which took an astonishing 7 minutes. I know the area I was in had 4G coverage and I know if I could have been on 4G it would have been almost instant. Its not progress its just bull****. Sell them a phone without a feature they want then release it again with the new feature and get them to buy it again. Its ethically wrong.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
You mean they are a corporation trying to make money and not spending millions to give the world a big gift? If you ask me, no android is not prefect, what is? Nothing. It's better than the alternatives for my needs and tastes. If google has an agenda to try to turn a profit with it, they are no different than any of they other companies.

What are the best values of "Gamma" and "Color multipliers" for our SAMOLED screen?

I use these that I have always found here on XDA:

Range Set to:
Red = -26
Green = -30
Blue = -33

Colour Multipliers:
Red = 353834880
green = 3374617280
blue = 3568913600

Share your settings "Voodoo control app".

these values make the screen colors look like they did pre 2.3.3. personally, i like the warmth of the new colors, so i havent been using any profiles... except the "punchy" setting in the screen v0 gamma hack option. i like it darker that way :)
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
These are nice settings. As Simms stated, these very much remind me of the colors pre 2.3.3

[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I like the settings the OP posted. Although, it seems like the multipliers are just a ratio of sorts, to the point that they could be much lower, as long as they're all within the same range of each other as compared to what's posted. Regardless, I like this much better than the stock w/ Punchy or the halfway setting. It still looked quite yellowish til I applied the OP's. Looks great now.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:

Ok I'm gonna ask a stupid newbie question: where do you put these settings? The only thing related to color in the voodoo control app (at least the one I have) is to choose between two color profiles, original and voodoo profile. Everything else is related to sound. Am I missing something??
