Hi all
I just got my nexus s today. I picked it up from the marketplace from someone selling it. It is an awesome phone so far. It is super fast as compared to my old G1 from HTC.
Definitely going to have a bunch of questions about my phone.
Thanks all

welcome, thats a HUGE jump.
I am pretty new to the Nexus S. Basically going on 2 weeks with it now.
Welcome to the nexus S Its a good phone. I lucked out someone wanted the Samsung Focus and was willing to trade for the Nexus S. The part I wasn't expecting is that I met the guy at the Fido store and he handed me the phone BNIB still sealed.
Welcome!
When i first got my ns i came from an iphone 3G, and oh was i inlove .

For those coming from eclair or lower. Becareful with the market auto restore. I never used it on my Epic but decided to give it a try on this phone a few times. The feature itself works mostly fine but the problem is if you have a ton of apps it could be a solid 15-20 minutes or longer (not on wifi) of straight downloading and apps installing one after another. That means your CPU will be mostly pegged at 1ghz the entire duration, which generates a lot of heat. If your phone is on charge during this it just adds to the heat build up. Yesterday on 4g it took roughly 15 minutes for this process to complete and by the time it was done my battery was at scorching 47c. Not cool.
Suggest to turn it off in settings /privacy, grab titanium backup and learn to use it.

Day one user here too. Great phone. Just wish it had more RAM -if it wasn't for that, I'd have no problem keeping this phone and never upgrading. Especially with the extended battery I got for it.

Mine has only 1 year and 2 month, i'm waiting for official Cyanogen 10.1 nightlies ^^

Personally, I've had mine for 15 months, and it's been my best phone, not solely because of the hardware, but because of all the awesome developers. You guys make this phone the best!

Not since day one but did have gs1 the year prior to this phone's release. We tend to forget that this phone is practically identical to the galaxy s- a phone that remained technically unrivalled for about a year prior to the nexus release.

This is my 2nd android phone and first nexus device. I love it in so many reasons. Its performance and the community support have made me stick with android. Its sad that Google will no longer support it and the hardware is kinda outdated. But NS have given me the best android experience. I don't own gnex because I really love my NS.

The NS does look really nice, the Nexus One looked good too! The N4 looks so uninspiring. If that design came out 2 years ago, it would have been awesome...but going into 2013, it looks kinda bland

I could easily see myself buying a "Nexus S2" with the exact same form factor and just upgraded specs... like a dual-core processor and LTE!
Bought mine on release day 2 years ago today! Love this phone. Easily the most ergonomic phone I've ever held in my hand. It is just so comfortable. Still on the original battery, never changed it. No hardware issues (except for that slight green line on the left edge of the screen). A trooper of a phone that has held its ground. Bought into the Nexus program for the Google updates and I have not been disappointed. The dev community is carrying us into 4.2 and beyond. It's been a great 2 years for Android. Look how far we've come. What a ride the Nexus S has been on! GB>ICS>JB
Bought mine on the first day it came out two years ago. This phone has been a beast and omg the awesome development. Though I'm not using it now (I got a GS3 about a month ago), it carries on its glory in my brother's hands. He's loving it! It's sad to probably see development will stop after 4.2. This phone is what a true Nexus phone should be.
Happy Birthday Nexus S! ??

I've had this phone now for about 14 months and is hands down the beat phone experience I've had... Rooted within my first month of having it and was running custom ICS ROMs all the way up til my current 4.2.1 Rasbean Jelly ROM... I don't think development will continue for another two years... I DO think it will get KLP, by port from a dev of course... But the Android updates really starting to catch up to the specs of the phone and were starting to see its limits... I do believe development could easily continue for +2 years... But i just don't see devs sticking around that long...

Why do you need your wife's approval?
I can assure you that she spends more money on bags, make up, shoes, getting her hair done etc etc than your Nexus 7

She knew I wanted one, since our 3 year old just broke my old nexus 7 about two weeks ago lol, Shes not into any of this stuff, she loves her iPhone, which is fine by me, works for her. But she knows I love all these things lol, She saw the google io/brunch with me, so she knew i was going to get one eventually. She beat me to it and im happy.
my gf works for the Samsung booth at best buy. brought home chromecast drive for me. she's like I his one cause people are going nuts for them. I told her you don't buy Google stuff just for what it does out of the box but what it does after a trip to the xda forums lol

oh god.
My wife is pi$$ed at me. Not sure why, I've been saying I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 once the new ones came out. I even told her when I left Saturday night that I was going to Best Buy to get the Nexus. I think I may have even arranged the sale of my ipad mini. Maybe she's just j-ing.

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."

What's up guys? Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Just bought a gpad from Bestbuy for $300. I considered long and hard about the nexus7 (had the first version), and the note 7 & 8. I am offering nothing new or interesting, just saying hi.

Hi there. New here as well. Got the G Pad a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed with it! Installed Root, TWRP, and the CM11 Nightlies with Nova Launcher. I was thinking about the Nexus 7 as well, but the screen size of the LG device is amazing.
Just recently got my g pad for $230 from Newegg. Thing is awesome. Feels as solid as an iPad mini and great performance with cm11. Definitely selling the nexus 7 2013 I have. This is the best tablet ever made.

Yeah, I kept both the G-Pad and new N7 for a week before deciding which to return. Both have pros and cons but in the end the larger screen won out.

Hi!
I also just got a G pad. There's an amazing discount if you are on the Netherlands, I got it for 200 euro. The offer can be had until Sunday, basically combine mediamarkt tax free days (until Sunday) with LG 50 cash back offer on their website.
Yep, only this weekend in the Netherlands you can stack 2 different discounts together on the G-pad,
so it sells for less than € 200.
I bet they sell quite a few of them since it's even cheaper than the nexus 7.
I don't think you can order from abroad though.
Congrats! Love my gpad, great device. Light, beautiful screen, solid battery, with the ivso case I bought, is my perfect tablet. Switched from a nexus 10 / nexus 7 fhd combo.

Hi People, I just recently got my (White GPad) and I Love it
Bought my white Glad last week for $180 on craigslist....so happy I pulled the trigger. I had been checking clist for weeks waiting for a good deal on a 2013 N7 saw the gpad and couldn't resist. Has a little bit of screen bleeding? Think that's what it is...really only noticed when screen dims. Any who.......hi all, peace and love.
Question though.....Is the 4.4.2 update out? No OTA received here...wanna try that out before I go all crazy with rooting and Roms. Thanks
