Nice unboxing makes me wish I had a brand new one
Hope you got one from a good batch that let's you overclock as high as you want or undervolt. I will be interested to see what differences you have between the two

I can't believe they send a new 16gb sd card with the replacement. I need to replace mine as well, it has cracks on the top corner of the screen.
Edit: do you have to send a 16gb card back in order to not have a penalty?

No you keep your old card battery charger everything only thing they want is the phone you even keep the old battery back

What he said. They say not to send it back. Just the phone.
Ok, so im trying to root using the same method i did last time. but i cant get the drivers to install completely 4/5 install fine but: CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) is stuck on Installing driver software. Adb says the device is attached, but offline. Any suggestions? Usb debugging is enabled.
Didn't you already have the drivers installed?

I bought a bricked Nexus S form the marketplace. I tried to get it in to download mode and it is not working at all. The phone is charging so i know it has life in it. It is not recognized by fastboot or odin. I have a jig and I tried it and failure striked again. I really need experts because the phone is to nice for it not to work and i know it is no such thing as a fully software bricked samsung android phone.
That is amazing. I thought for sure that you could get it working with no problems.

power it off. power it on holding the volume up button and power button at the same time. if it goes into the bootloader mode, then its not bricked.
Take out the battery and hold the power button for 20 secs

If you can go to bootloader mode, you can flash clockwork recovery and install a rom.

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!
What were you doing with it when it got bricked?
Did u plug into computer while battery is out? Then try going into download mode?

Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

Curious... Did Odin work for you with the old cord? Or transferring files to the sd card? I ask because ADB doesn't work for me since upgrading from Win 7 32 to 64. I can get a little bit of logcat to run sometimes and it hangs but Odin works flawlessly. Have tried several cords (that also work on an old Windows XP machine I have) with no luck. I guess I could try a new cord but that doesn't make sense to me

That's one way of fixing it. I also had the same issue, resolved first removing all the drivers for the phone, updated chipset drivers, reboot, re-installed the phone drivers, reboot then plugging in the phone.
Just in case someone else has the same issue and doesn't want to re-install windows

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Read this in a different thread when i was unboxing my nexus 7, i let mine sit for a while on the charger before i turned it on, but it came charged already. So far i have not let my nexus drain to 0% and the battery life on it is great, it can go for a entire day.

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

I have seen this video of someone running their shift without a battery installed, he never actually explains the process but mentions the BIOS lock that disables the device when no battery is present or battery level warning.
