So this thread is only to heard people talking about news of the 2.3.4 for our nexus s i9020A KB2. No longer kb3 or 1 conversation!!!
Still waiting.... on KoodoMobile !
Same, still waiting. Seems like a Canada only phone and we're always last to get anything lol.
I guess everyone bought the Koodo version, we will probably get the update last since we are the least owners of Nexus S

Of course! It was the cheapest at $425 outright. All Canadian phone models are the same anyways (i9020a - GRI54 - KB2) except Wind/Mobi which sell the i9020t I believe.
Actually I paid around $230 (including tax) for it at Best Buy. I used $200 worth of Reward Zone certificates and also got the promotional 4000 points which is essentially $50.
Best part? No contract!
The phone is the same regardless off where you got it. I am on an 18 hardware refresh cycle and got the phone for $0 down.
the current roll out has been very much based on model and not the provider.

Not everyone...when I looked for the phone the day it was available, Koodo didn't have any to sell, neither did Telus. I wanted to buy it at BestBuy next for the reward points but they didn't have an outright/no contract price SKU so I tried FutureShop and bought it there. If I had waited a week, I could have had reward points or a gift card, but I needed a new phone ASAP since I gave my Desire to my wife, the Legend to my daughter, and I was using a backup "dumb" phone. I tried the Motorola Atrix and found it was an awful phone with lots of performance issues and poor software implementation that made it a disappointment to use - so I returned it and awaited the Nexus S which I'm quite happy with.
Not that it really matters, but my phones are always "free" since I do hardware upgrades for iPhones and then sell them BNIB and keep the profits for the phones I actually want to use.
I'm on Rogers with my nexus s and no udate as of yet.

Updates come from Google not the provider. We have to wait until they start rolling it out for our model.

We basically all run the ATT version, it says it somewhere in the packaging I got with my Koodo Nexus. I'm just waiting until CM7 goes to 2.3.4 wich will probably be before we get it anyway. But google will get to our model soon enough.

But the question is WHEEEEEEN???
I punched in the manual checkin code, still nothing. Once I get notification though I'll post the link from logcat. I have adb set up at home and at work.
Same boat here, I bought my phone at BestBuy for Rogers and I still have not received a OTA notification. I would have tried to do the manual update, but that doesn't appear to be an option either.
It would be nice to get some sort of schedule.

Actually this week you may get more points, bestbuy has new reward zone points
Spend over $500 = 5,200 bonus points ($65 value)
Online Code: 5200POINTS
So I guess buy the phone and some accessories and you get 65$ in points.
Just got my Nexus S from Future Shop this past Sunday. It is on Rogers and is a Factory Unlocked I9020A model. I too have not seen any updates as of yet for this phone.
Id like to see it soon though...
Nexus s fido
I have a nexus s from fido . There is a bug for some fido nexus s where the phone is always in roaming mode showing R next to the signal bar . I know that fido have been waiting on a software update since april 15 th .When that alert was posted in the system they said the update would be avalaible within the next two weeks. I am not sure if its the same update though .

Hopefully 2.3.4 fixes the roaming issue. That little R is bugging me!
Just got my Nexus S about a week and a half ago.
Finally Rooted and Unlocked the Bootloader after slacking on following the tutorials.. So tempted to flash a rom/kernel instead of waiting for the 2.3.4 ota update..
Hopefully we get the update soon! I'm getting antsy. A user seems to have reported that they've gotten an update notification for their i9020A though - so that's good news!
So I downgraded my GR54 KB2 to GR40 KB1 and then upgraded to GJ22 KD1. Now my phone spases out at times. Does or can anyone get me the nandroid or stock version of 2.3.3 GR54 KB2? I just want to go back to stock 2.3.3 and then do an OTA update rather than manual. My Wind i9020T GR40 KB1 updated just fine but my TELUS i9020A GR54 KB2 messed up.
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.
With some of the replacement phones beign sent out with the new firmware included and the update out soon, I would like to get your thoughts on performance and also have a place for issues and opinions.
Does your experience match what the beta group experienced? Are you having any issues? What is your opinion on the phone with the update installed?
Thanks for your help.
I am trying to get dell to send me a replacement with the new firmware. I have called 3 times so far: First time it was 209, Second time it was a 16gb SD (I used it since I had 8 before), and now I am waiting for another replacement device to arrive. The rep said he would make a note in the dispatch that I want 212 and said if I don't get 212 then I can return the replacement device. I currently am slightly happy with it since dell cant say my warranty is void as their representative told me to switch the sd cards.
Long story short I want 212 and I am disappointed that there mobility center is only in india now, according to the rep, because the language barrier makes it tough to get your point across.
So I just got a new Dell Venue Pro on the 14th. Everything was going well for the first day but yesterday my data connection would not work unless on wifi. I could still receive pictures but no maps, IE, any app data etc. And another weird thing, when I turn wifi off in the settings menu, my phone continues to use the wifi...I am sending this phone back to dell on tuesday because I just ordered another DVP for .99 cents, I paid 79.99 for this one but I am in my buyers remorse period so dells bout to pay me my 79.99 back.
are there many problem-free DVPs?
I am on my third DVP, 16GB with .206, and for some reason it has been problem free. zero problems. I'm shocked. makes me wonder if there is a silent majority (or minority) of DVP owners that have had problem free phones. wish I knew.
my first DVP, an 8GB model with .206, lasted three months and was locking up 5 times or more on some days but I put up with it. the phone speaker failed and they sent my second phone, 16Gb with .206. it lasted only 48 hours before I got the memory card error message and it bricked.
I've only had the third one for about a week and zero lockups. It's too good to be true. I'm waiting for the first lockup.
No Wifi lock ups at all (212) ...
BUt that is the only thing fixed...
The headset volume sucks big time.. camera remains worst in the world... the lock screen unlocking lag comes at times...
Still not very happy... but great improvement with the wifi
Yes, my experiences seem to match the beta group.
- No wifi crashes. In fact, no crashes at all - the phone feels rock solid.
- Calls since the update appear to sound noticeably clearer and crisper. I haven't seen anyone else in the thread mention this, so curious if this has happened for others too.
- More consistent signal. The phone seems to be on 'H' more often. Will be interesting to see if reception is better the next time I travel to weak signal areas!
Overall, a very nice update
im still waiting patiently for the update
I just got the .212 on Friday w/ NoDo for At&t from the recent Dell sale of Unlocked phones for $300. Not one crash. I've installed at least 30 apps over wifi and set-up my Xbox live and 3 email accounts and have not had any problems.
My only wish list so far....
A mass storage function. Zune interface is kind of limiting. I will have to try that registry edit.
Custom .mp3 ringtone maker.
Headphones could be louder and jack could be flat.
Camera could be better in low-light.
A way to customize basic tiles beyond changing color.
I wish Dell was selling the 32GBs unlocked for $300.
I really like this phone. I'm just a little nervous about exclaiming its greatness after three days.
Just got the firmware update. The first think it does after finished updating is crash after I lock the screen....
Hopefully this does not happen again..
where are you guys getting these updates?
and are they explicitly from dell and how can i tell if its from dell?
Offical Dell Update
I got the update when connecting my DVP up, update available.
Had to take the battery out (hard reset) for it to work properly.
2nd attempt was successful.
firmware version 2250.1800.7392.212
what issues was this new update supposed to address? anyone?

No - it's a review of .212 beta.
Wifi now works flawlessly for me, which is the most important one. I get a full signal at my desk as is so I really can't comment on if that one is improved - considering my signal was very weak at home (fluctuating between 1 bar of 3G and 2 bars of GPRS), I'll have a better idea of that when I get there. I confirm that there are more camera options, although I haven't actually tried taking a picture.
So far, so good!
The only issue mu DVP had was the fluctuating signal strength indicator when I was in areas of moderate-low signal. So far after the firmware update my indicator stays the same. Hopefully this means the battery life will improve too. Love my phone!

A little while after the update, my phone was blacked out/off and I had to battery pull to fix that, but otherwise it's been awesome with the new firmware. I was in the middle of nowhere last night and my signal went from 1 bar G to 3-4 bars 3G and anywhere in between, but for the most part data was zipping along.
Downloaded an app, lots of photo uploads and FB app checking and checking radar maps.
WiFi has been on most of the time and works well - without freezing. Downloaded Tentacles finally.

cancelled this morning when i purchased from DSE nunawading (Last one) for $709

I've been reading reports that the blue won't be available until mid June, not by the weekend?
I'm hoping you're right and I'm wrong, but I don't think that will be the case.
I'm not that keen on the white myself - but I dont think I can wait!
Spose I'll just chuck a cover on it

I'm the same.
I've got mine on pre-order with MobiCity ever since pre-order was available, and I've been trying desperately to avoid the temptation to buy the white now, and then sell it when I get my blue.
It's so tempting!!
I swing from telling myself to just be patient, to just go out and buy it.
Not knowing when I'm due to get it makes it more difficult.
I can wait a week, but 2 or more is REALLY pushing it for me.

Yeah there have been conflicting reports about the date, but in most of the reports on launch day Samsung themselves claim weekend availability. Fingers crossed!

Battery Life
Hmm, I bought an S2 and ditched it after 6 months because the battery life was appalling. I've had a Nexus for the last 6 months and that has had excellent battery life. I got an S3 yesterday through Vodafone and my first impressions of the phone are great, battery life... not great. Same problem as the S2.
I left it charging all night and today having been off the charger for 2 hours it's at 85% and hardly been used. In the battery section of settings it states 'Cell Standby' as using 87% of the drain.
Anyone got any idea what causes this? Feeling completely frustrated and certainly not rushing to sell the Nexus yet
Anyone found great deals with particular carriers?
Im leaning towards virgin if they are willing to throw in an extra 2gb of data. no experiance with them though, whats there coverage like?

Probably still a bit early to tell. But it does look too much considering you have barely used it. Run it down completely then charge again to 100%. It should improve over the next few days.
Personally on my S2 I switch off 3g and mostly use wifi and have very little apps syncing in the background. Can get between 1-2 days depending on usage.
What I love about the galaxy series is the removable battery. With the S1 & S2 I bought 3 spare batteries + wall charger off ebay for just over $10 delivered. I leave 1 in the car, 2 at home and one in the phone obviously. These are the Chinese generic ones but in 2 years have never had a problem. Boy do they come in handy when I go away.

Cheers. I'll give it some cycles. The Nexus was outstanding for battery. Everything turned on, full syncing and lasted 24 hours without issue unless I went really heavy on usage. I hope this is better!
Got mine as a free upgrade from vodafone, same contract I had for last 3 years too so im happy. Its white but ill make a skin for it anyway. So far so good.

Waiting & MircoSim
I'm also waiting on the Pebble Blue from Mobicity... Going to Singapore on the 14th so really hope it arrives before then. Probably cutting it a bit close.
I've got a question about Vodafone pre-paid though. If I go into a store do you think it will much of a hassle to get a mircosim out of them? I like being on pre-paid and don't want a contract.
Cheers
The give out micro-sims without any hassle. I went this after noon into Voda and said I want a microsim. Once activated it was working by the time I walked out the door.
I'm gonna get mine on telstra been with optus for 10 years and they would not even give me an early upgrade of one month . Pathetic but I just want the service radius of telstra.

Virgin uses Optus network so coverage would be good i suppose.
And the $57 a month plan seems like the best option to me..
I don't care about colour because i always get covers for my phones but wondering if i should wait for the 32gb...
It seems that as it was with the S2, Telstra and Vodafone will be selling the 'T' version handsets.
Fortunately it's just the same as the International version except for some change in the radio. Therefore when flashing custom roms in future better reception will be achieved by flashing a 'T' model modem over the top. Especially for those who end up using an Optus sim in them.

Virgin/Optus are pretty bad IMO... I was with Virgin for the past 4 years and have to say that I found it difficult to get through my monthly quota of data - because 3G coverage was that poor. 70-80% of the time, I would attempt to load a page, and after waiting 30s, the connection would time out.
I signed up to a contract with Telstra today, and the NextG network craps all over Virgin/Optus. The reason behind this (I think) is that Telstra uses 850MHz for most 3G data, and this has much better penetration abilities than 2100 (for indoor and outdoor coverage)... Add to that the fact they don't oversubscribe their towers.
I have full reception at my house on Telstra and I was lucky to get 1 bar before with Virgin, with constant call dropouts. Telstra may be $10 extra per month, but the service is fantastic and well worth it.
Just my 2c worth.

So going into July 2017 and the Note 8 right around the corner. Who still has their Note 7? Who truly held on and is going to make it till September?
Fully working second edition Sprint Note 7 on PH9 firmware right here.
Got my Note 7 on release day, still have the original, still charges to 100, still best phone on the market... but I'm going to trade it for the Note 8 and be sure to root it ASAP so I don't have to deal with any bull like they did with the 7... just in case lol
Still.got mine....but stuck on PHE Firm beem

Still have mine, 2nd gen green battery. Running PHE with 100% battery. Use every day and still believe best phone ever made.
Still rocking my note 7 from day one
Hi, Samsung auto updated my phone so I can no longer charge it. Is there any way around this?
Still got mine, going to trade it for the Note 8 !
I wonder what will come with the FE Starting to come.
Still have mine and working fine. Just found out Samsung is doing a buyback for any Note7 at $425.00. I'm doing it now. They will offer the 128 gig SD card and wireless charger to. I think it's a good deal and going to do it.
I saw the phone a day before the release and it's good to trade in this Note 7 and be done with it.
First edition Sprint Note 7.
What do you guys think I can do with this?

Could you lead me in the direction of how I can go the same route. Samsung has been giving me the run around.
note 7 last firmware needed
i have probleme with my note 7 i lost invoice and samsung dont want to exchange it and i need last firmware to solve it it stak at samsung logo and need last firmware to recver it, i try flash maney firmware and no luck my bootloader is version 3
Still have mine. I had gotten 2 of them when they came out. Then the recall and exchanged mine. The girl i was with had the other but we went different ways so i turned hers off and reported it stolen. Sprint told me that device had been exchanged. I asked without being on my account or having authorization for doing so? They tried to hold me responsible for her exchanged N7. at which point i said no they had the device i bought and its thieir fault they gave a phone to someone who was not on my account. i will not pay for it so they took it off my bill. Afew weeks ago i ran into her and she gave me back my N7. LOL with the battery kill update already installed so it will not charge. Back after the 2nd recall i downgraded to the S7 edge. Now i have a new un-usable N7 that is not on file anymore and a perfect S7 edge. which i will be exchanging for the N8 tomorrow. Now what to do with this N7? lol
October 5th and still running just fine.... I might even hold out till the Note 9 at this rate...
