NS4G OTA

Since nobody has it, I'm guessing it was made up. Conspiracy theory?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

Nope its definitly coming, they are receiving a lot of signal issues by ns4g owners so i would be surprised if it never materialized.

No, the sprint release documents clearly shows an attempt for an update. The questions and speculations are on "when" it will come.

I've actually never seen that doc, thanks!

Samsungs track record with "coming soon" has not been promising (moment,epic) but since Google might have some leverage, hopefully it is coming soon.

Samsung has nothing to do with updates on the NS. Go to opensource.Samsung.com and read the documents for the d720. All updates for the NS line come from Google. So please stop the blame game and be patient.

Actually, samsumg/sprint handles the radio and Google does the rest
Radio is hugebpart of update
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

and ironically the Radio is the only thing that BLOWS on this phone. The ONE thing they had to do they screwed up on.

In order to build android you have to have the proprietary binary files for the wimax and cdma radio. the documents above prove that update has been built and they have the "new radio" if they are even going to update it. so i would not blame sprint/samsung for the delay, they did their job. google needs to finish with whatever tweaks they are working on and release the update or at least commit the code so we can compile.

I've seen this photo a lot...exactly where is the from (ie. the original link..)?

I'm not sure why a new thread was needed but this delay could be because of tweaks needed for google wallet as that seems to be the big feature coming to the Nexus S line.

The photo is a screen shot of a sprint corp computer that was sent into android central by one of phil's sources

I'm so close to leaving Sprint. Unlimited is nice but it is useless if I can't actually use data correctly. I love when I have 2 bars of 4g but can't get any network activity and forced to use Sprints awesome upgraded dialup 3g service.

I found this at opensource.samsung.com for the SPH-D720. Not sure if means much and still would be nice if they release come source code that they currently have. Either way no big deal, I enjoy my Nexus S and really dont any issues with it. I would like better radio signal but who wouldn't. You could get a phone much worse off at Verizon, AT&T, or T-MOBILE. So good luck to the people jumping the boat. I expect a influx of people joining up with Sprint before Spring and then it will bog down the network. I hope they have a plan in place to take care of that issue that may happen.
"- Nexus S (I9020) Opened source code -
Beacuse Nexus S is google experience device, source codes are opened by Google.
So, You can find source code for the Nexus S at Android Open Source Project site.
Please reference below address.

Which document talks about updates for the radio? I didn't see anything on the Samsung or Google sites.

Gripe

What is the purpose of owning a nexus device on a cdma network? I am so tired of google and networks in so many ways. I thought the purpose of owning a nexus device was that I would receive update directly from google. I own a nexus 4 g and a motorola zoom lte and have not received an update in over 4 months. I really hope for google sake there is some improvement in the future with updates of nexus devices.

I'm stock rooted still on GB. I'm not into roms necessarily only reason I root is for wifi tether and titanium backup. Or maybe removing or freezing apps but it doesn't matter on a nexus device. Bottom line is that GS2 and vivid GSM models have gotten updates before my nexus. All I'm saying is CDMA networks do not push updates for nexus devices as they should and google obviously can't provide updates in a timely manor for these devices either. This is a problem with google plus the cdma networks.

ahh ok,I can respect that. Much more than all the other threads on here complaining about not getting the update, yours is more based on the CDMA networks which is the source of the problem for what you're referring to.
That's why I came here cdma updates can be few and far between at times.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

There isn't a reason really. With an htc device for example you get aosp like cyanogen plus you get sense if you want it. I had both options on my evo shift. No one really knew the cdma nexus experience didn't really mean **** until recently since this was the first cdma nexus.
The good thing about this is that now i have opened myself up to more options for my next phone like the htc one or gs3 where up until about January i was only ever going to get nexus phones even though they are usually lacking in something like the camera, fm radio, no sd slot or whatever. And it doesn't matter since updates won't cone any faster and the wonderful devs keep us up to date.

the files for the cdma radio are proprietary, google has to wait for the networks to provide them. googles part is done and available. they even came said a few months ago that cdma nexii arent considered developer phones anymore, just for that reason. its the cdma networks that you should let know how you feel.

im on 2.3.7, it aint broke so im in no hurry to fix it. when i get an official update then ill update. i dont see what the big deal is

I am a very happy CDMA Nexus S owner. I've been rocking 4.0.4 on my NS4G since this morning, I'm not sure what people are complaining about. Yes, we all thought that since we have Nexus devices we'd get personal invites from Goog to test out their new OS. Turns out this is not true, stupid us for thinking that. But in the end what's the difference? As soon as the update is in AOSP our awesome devs have it ready for us to crackflash. These complaint threads are getting old, when did XDA turn into Facebook?

Because the purpose of purchasing a nexus is not have to wait for the latest software plus have a pure google experience. If I need to flash software that's been out for 4 months like 4.0.3 this is an obvious fail for the nexus program.

It's more a fail on our part for believing Google's marketing. In the end though, we still have the new OS updates available right away via AOSP. They just don't get pushed to our phones via OTA right away. But this is XDA, who the hell wants to sit around waiting for an OTA??

S4 Dropbox offer/multiple offer question

Hi all,
I dont really know which forum to post this in but i'll try here..
I am currently using a HTC One X, which I recieved 25GB of Dropbox storage via the promo offer they had when purchasing the phone last year.
I will now be purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S4 within a couple of weeks & wanted to know if anyone from a similar situation can confirm if the Samsung 50GB offer will get ADDED to the HTC 25GB? Or will it be ineligible?
I've done some searching but seem to be coming across conflicted info..
I have found a lot of former S3 users reporting that they are ineligle after purchasing the S4 as they can only have ONE Samsung promo running at any one time but as my situation is from two different manufacturers, I am curious to see if this is possible?
Thanks guys

Hi,
As I understand it,you will only get the 50GB if you open a new account.
This will only last 2 years.
Then, they take it back.
It will certainly not be added to any other account you have.

It's a tablet, you shouldn't be able to make calls in the first place, except over VOIP. I suspect the update disabled whatever workaround allowed it.

This. Tablet data support is just for that, data. They're not meant to make phone calls or send SMS.

And so the word "mobile" in Google's images site is a confirmation for you that you can make a phone call with the LTE?

I'm right now using this device with LTE and I do not need another confirmation other than what I can do with it: no phone calls.

I really don't know what you're asking. You didn't say anything about being able to receive SMS messages in your previous posts, and while in theory the tablet can receive them it's not an officially supported feature and is only there to allow you to manage your mobile data connection. The link to the factory images doesn't make any reference to the 2013 Nexus 7 being able to make phone calls or send SMS - it has the words "Nexus 7 2013, mobile" because it's the 2013 Nexus 7 that has a mobile data radio in it.
Here's the official manual: http://static.googleusercontent.com...roid/android_ug_42/Nexus-7-Guidebook-2013.pdf
If you can find any references in there to phone calls I will eat this post.

The Nexus 7 LTE does not have the necessary hardware to make normal phone calls.
It does have a basic SMS receiver app as stock.
EDIT: apparently it does have the hardware, but it's disabled somehow. See comment below.

it was my mistake on this.

Aaaaactually - it *does* have the necessary hardware to make normal phone calls. However, Goog has blocked the ability to use it, possibly right on the chip..

If I am not mistaken, most of Samsung's 7"ish tablets have phone capability when sold outside the US (I owe a 7.7 and the original P1000)
I would love my Nexus 7 to be used as a phone... If not then I guess I may have to go for a Nexus 5 (Whihc is probably what Google and the telco wants you to do...)

Yes it is the mother ship or ships doing this. More plans equals more money.

Missing some Advanced Features from settings...

Is anyone else missing some features from the advance feature menus on the verizon s7 edge? I was looking for the switch for the app drawer removal and the switch for the white pages caller id. Is there any way to sideload with out rooting? I cannot root i use samsung pay everyday.

Verizon has removed the white pages feature.

Any way to enable them like you can with adaptive storage?

FYI - This doesn't actually do anything. It will say you've turned it on, but it doesn't work.

They also removed the auto restart feature.

I finally have 7.0 on my Verizon GS7 Edge. I know Verizon blocks some Samsung​ features, but I was wondering if anyone has a list of everything that is missing. Unfortunately, this is a work phone, so I can't just switch carriers. I had the Note 7 with T-Mobile, but we all know how that turned out. Rather than carrying 2 S7 Edge phones I decided to cancel my line with T-Mo and just rock the one phone for a while. Now I'm wondering if that was a mistake.

Well, they do have VZ Nav, and I'm honestly surprised they haven't blocked Google Maps from their branded devices. Back in the early days of Android, they actually didn't ship them with Maps, though you could still install it later.
