Nexus S 4G is official

It's officially the same device with a cdma radio and a wimax radio.
I will probably get one.

I've played with a T-Mo Nexus S and it's a VERY nice device. However, I'm still iffy about Samsung. I may just wait for the Evo 3D.

Why? This will be running AOSP and will get updates at a faster rate than devices with Sense, Blur, etc.

For realz, yo. Sammy makes awesome processors, the best mobile camera sensors hands down, and their devices all seem to get good battery life.

I actually dont want a dual core cause I fear the battery life....lol but if i was gonna upgrade my evo...I dont think this is the way Id go....although like some one mentioned the sammy's usually get great life.
with that being said...this device doesnt have a flash or notification light. The flash I use as a flash light and the notification light i would miss

Having the back button farthest from your finger seems odd.

I wonder what Wimax chip they're using and if the implementation will be open source.

Thats one reason evo users should be excited. AOSP will now be coding for a CDMA/WiMAX device. AOSP ROMs for the EVO will be super easy to port from the Nexus S 4G.

Battery life? The GPU and CPU will be 10x as efficient as the evo right now and rumored the phone comes with a 1730-1750 mah battery. HTC modified the evos kernel when the battery problem was awful and the devs here at xda took it even a step farther. The dual core will render graphics and multi tasking like a breeze without straining the phone. The rumored benchmarks are double the evo stock! I have mine being pushed at full speed and still get a day worth of battery out of it. The evo3d is a no brainier compared to the nexus s which is a year old and does not have an SD card.

1.8 ?!?! are you trying to kill your phone? I don't go passed 1200 regardless of kernel, I just don't see the need to.

Uh there isn't a best or worst! There is only opinion's. But if you want the highest clocked and most stable for that speed than i would say Redstar's 1190 kernel
http://redstar.euroskank.com/2.6.37.4/LIVE_DANGEROUSLY/OC_1190/
Just my 2 cents, like a @ssh0l3 everyone has 1

The other two posters are correct--
1. Too high and phone issues, some phones can handle them, a lot can't--be careful
2. Benchmarks are useless and overrated--I have been flashing kernals for almost a year and irregardless of my benchmarks (I haven't even done one for months), the phone seems no differnet for day to day use
3. I prefer the stock one on nightlies--great volume on audio
4. IMHO

<- what he said!

Toastfch-GoDmOdE kernel is back!

If the want a quality kernel for your aosp ROM.....Go get it in the Dev section. This kernel was released before the original evo source was released. Now Its Updated!!
Tested: all sensors work properly, finally, on gingerbread roms. Gps works, real nice!

Well its a collaborated-based kernel from many great devs. It has the best stability (in my opinion). And...it brings back memories of the beginnings of the EVO

i never tried these kernels tbh. no offense to toast but how is the battery life without sbc?

So far so good with me. Battery has barely dropped and i been kickin 4g......
top -m 5 -n 1
Try that in command prompt after a bit and see what you get

With the sensors working correctly....battery life has got be superior. Rite?

Go get this from kernel manager people! Top of the line

It's been reported the battery life is pretty good. I think it'd be that much better with SBC, though. Hopefully someone can mod it into the kernel.

Some of us don't want the SBC kernels. I have never had problems running non SBC kernels. Personally I like to plug my phone up when I go to bed 12 to 1 am then take it with me all day. I usually unplug around 8 am.

Best kernel for Epic 4G ICS?

Any idea? Stability + good battery?
I was using Legendary before, awesome battery life while at 1400Mhz all the time. It was amazing.
Anyone know which kernel I should use now?

YMMV but this was my battery today with the newest samurai kernel tanto
Sent From My Thugnificent SPH-D700 because its more than Magnificent

This being covered time and time again in many different posts over many different threads almost warrants no answer but ill give you one and here it is
try them all flash one per day till you find one that works for you the way you like it everyone uses their phone differently so no matter what you will get different results than i do or the next person that post on this

It's really up to you, try them out and see what you like the best. I've tried all 3 kernels currently out right now and they all work pretty good. The two I usually stick with are shadow kernel and the samurai kernel. Shadow kernel is nice and makes everything feel real snappy. You can overclock to 1400 mHz and the battery life for me is good. The newest shadow, tanto, overclocks to 1500 mHz and works with voodoo control. Haven't gotten the chance to really test battery since it just came out but so far it runs pretty good. Just test both of them out, you can always flash over another kernel.

Also close to stock kernels like aprosamurai's. He likes to keep his stockish with a few tweaks and some new fixes. Just my opinion of what works best on my phone. Others like earthbound's are too tweaked for me but his is really fast and bleeding edge. Bbelos's are also good.

I'm using shadow now and have used apro's too and they both worked great. You need to experiment with them, and you're going to have to tweak to get better battery life. I had several trying to constantly run and none of them were things I use a lot so they had to go. If I wanted super battery life I would have bought a flip phone and not a micromini laptop, and I wouldn't have such a joyful device to tinker with.

Stock is always going to be the best for wanting nothing but the simplicity.
Put it like this when i buy a car, i put bigger tires on my car for grip, and better handling. But i know i will loose some gas mileage but not alot.
I'll put a turbo and some internals into my engine to gain in power but will loose gas.
But if we can put bigger tires and a bigger turbo but still have the same gas results as stock, Then why not do it?
We all benefit in one area and thats why custom kernels are there for those who want options that stock doesn't provide.
Stock= Base Model
Custom = Fully Loaded
Simple as that. So everyone should try different kernels and then reply not saying oh this is the best. But say IMO i prefer this over that simply because of these reasons. Everyone will want a specific kernel because one may like different things about the different kernels
