Just got my Nexus S ATT. My thoughts.

Coming from HTC Inspire btw.
Size-Build is awesome imo, perfect screen size, nice and lightweight and does not feel cheap imo.
Yea its superamoled but wtf at the yellowish tint....why did they do this?? My Captivate looked better and this is one of the main selling points for me, is there anything we can do to get it back to the other color temperature? Seriously....
Tried the camera a bit, not impressive at all, neither was the inspire so eh whatever.
Everything is FAST! I love it!
Stock Android!!! Woooh! No Blocking of Apps! Woooh!
Wifi seems a bit slow, it started doing a restore off the bat and downloading all my apps from the inspire and even the background! wow! Really cool feature that I had no Idea about, but some apps installed and then I kept getting a bunch of errors saying "insufficient memory" I guess I gotta do them one by one...
Thats pretty much it, Im satisfied but the screen tint is kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth, the SuperLCD seemed more sharp and brighter then this and the whites were WHITE and the blacks werent too shabby either, dunno wtf is going on as the Screen on my old captivate was great and I loved it, this is eh...

Really hoping I didnt make the wrong choice here, the Xperia arc I had my eyes on and the only thing it didnt have was a FFC and I can live without it, beyond that I like the looks, bigger screen, lighter weight, on the arc better and sony unlocked the bootloader on their new devices so updates will come regardless, way better camera, I just dont know about this whole screen thing....

i just got mine today, so thought i'd chime in too.
build quality: not cheap imo, the ergonomics dept should pat themselves on the back. feels just right
doesn't feel laggy
sensors problem. compass seems a bit off, and the best gps lock i've had is 10m error after about 60s. i stood outside and waited, no lock. resorted to downloading gps status and downloaded the additional gps data. this seems to be the only way it's locked on. compared to a desire, this is hella slow and crappy for gps.
camera quality, i think for a phone it's good enough. for the ffc, so it's vga, but at what resolution does skype mobile use? what's that? it's not working? oh well. i think vga is fine for video calls. anything else is just additional cost.
about to test with music and haven't put a sim in yet to test the phone.
i bought it for development, so i'm now going to start messing about with it, but the phone feels nice and zippy, but disappointed with the sensors (will be testing outside tomorrow) as i'm looking to do a lot of augmented reality dev.

if you're going to test sound, i highly recommend using netarchy's kernel (unsure if it works on a I9020A).. but basically put Voodoo Sound, it'll be highly worth it without question

thanks, but i'm going to keep this stock.

You can change the bad color by using voodoo control app on the market and finding a kernel that supports it.

What about a yellow tint? You have it? Its seriously bugging me out...

crap, sorry about the thanks there
no, i don't have a tint at all - i have a 9020. and no tint. i manually upgraded to 2.3.2 - too scared to update to 2.3.3 yet. i don't have a sim in it, so the ota wasn't registering.
in terms of sound quality, it blows away my ipod touch 1st gen, but then again most of my older cheaper mp3 players do so that in itself isn't saying much! the dynamic range sounds a lot better on this than what was on the desire too.
but still haven't taken the stickers on the phone off yet. need a case!

EDO5 official

Just tried the Charge/Inc2/X2 swap....got drug around for 120 minutes of nothingness. Officially the offered ended at midnight because yesterday a final version was finished to go OTA on Monday August 1st. I'm being sent another Fassy in which if problem persists I can get an original X or Inc2.

Yeah, I tried to do this today as well and looks like samsung called off the replacement for droidx, inc2 or charge due to the new update fixing all the issues. Good news for me though that they're letting me upgrade early since they know I really don't want this phone anymore. Well, better than nothing!

Fascinate is a better phone anyway. You guys should be glad the missed calls should be fixed and you can keep it.

I checked for the OTA update a couple hours ago, Bing! Yep, it's here.
I'll be glad if this is the fix we need to keep enjoying our Fascinates. The temptation of a new device is certainly sweet, but this phone is a great performer. We've seen the leaps and bounds accomplished with this phone. We've all enjoyed the greatness brought to us by the developers in this forum.
Thanks All ;-)
Rockin stock ED05 OTA.....for now

Fassys are still laggy phones despite their processor and I still have that problem where buttons will seem like it's pressing by itself. I was actually doing this for my brother and he's plenty sick of this phone and wants a 4G device already after tasting the awesomeness that is my Thunderbolt with full sense 3.0 on it

It would be nice for a bigger screen, more RAM & 4G. I heard even though the screen is bigger on the Charge, resolution is worse and I don't really care for a thicker, heavier phone. I've never had problems with my buttons and such. I'm happy waiting for the Galaxy S 2, a true upgrade.

To each their own but I think you are wrong about the resolution of the screen of the Charge. It is truly a beautiful and clear screen. I mean I thought the Fascinate had an awesome screen... Not when compared to the Charge. Don't get me wrong. I loved the Fascinate but extremely pleased with the Charge performance wise, radio wise, and stability. So far, top notch.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Correct, to each their own but the Charge appears heavier, thicker and not nearly as attractive. I could see getting a heavier phone if they had to fit dual-core, but isn't it the same processor?
Charge & Fascinate should have same resolution except Charge is stretched over larger screen, if I'm not mistaken. That should decrease the pixel density.
I would enjoy the higher res. camera & front facing camera though.
Galaxy S 2 should embarrass almost all phones out.

ed05 did not fix anything... I still get missed calls and so have others.

IF still having issues I would continue to let Verizon know. The more we as a group complain for having the issues the more they will realize their "fix" did not work.

Well... I restored my cm7 backup last night, after trying to get a replacement upgrade yesterday (replacement fassy on the way). Then I odined the new ed05 radio. This morning I've gotten 2 voicemails with no missed calls. And my gf tried calling me a few minutes ago, but all I got was a phantom ring. I called my voicemail to stop the ringing, and 10 minutes later I got a text asking if the call came through at all.
Its hard for me to tell if it's cm7 causing problems or what... I couldn't stand that nasty touchwiz tho. I'm on the latest nightly from last night. Vzw forums seem to indicate ed05 fixes the problem. If I'm still gonna be missing calls then I want my damn upgrade to the charge!
Edit: Seems like missing calls and phantom rings are happening again during deep sleep in latest cm7 nightly. I should probably just go back to the 7/17 build. Don't much feel like messing with the stock rom to test it for missing calls. So I'll just take you guys' word on whether it fixes the problem.
In other news the replacement Fascinate the tech support guy on the phone ordered for me last night around 7:30pm showed up today at about 3:00pm. He told me not to expect it til middle of next week. Pretty awesome! But I live in Houston and apparently their warehouse is in TX somewhere. Still pretty excellent delivery time. I'm messing with the Glitch kernel on it now, hopefully it overclocks better than my original cuz it looks so shiny and new!

I should clarify that I have only had 1 voice mail with no missed call notification since flashin the full odin ed05 package. Although imo performance and gps is alot better with ed05 vs the previous versions... phone all around operates smoother. I was getting 2 vm's with no notification a day, so it does seem like improvements were made.

Were you getting missed calls with this Rom before or after changing kernels?

Nope the kernel version doesn't change as long as you're using a Froyo kernel. You can see if you have the ED05 kernel by using Terminal Emulator and typing "cat /proc/version" and see if it's dated July 8. Anything earlier is pre-ED05.

There should be a space after the "cat" before the first forward slash. There should be no space after "proc" before the second slash.

<SOLVED>[Help] Lost CRT screen-off Animation & Proximity Auto-Off

Well I just recently made the jump to Gingerbread and was really enjoying the little perk of the CRT screen animation.
Just lately though, I noticed that it had disappeared.
As well, I've been noticing that my phone does not automatically turn off when I put it up to my ear.
My first 4.5.91 flash I feel that I botched:
I had flashed Nottach's Darkside ROM (v1.3) and his Evoluer theme (v1.0) and I was trying to set up some of Droid Shogun's SwitchPro widgets and messed with a screen auto-off widget. I thought this was what caused the problem in the first flash and I eventually ended up wiping my phone (much deeper than I kinda planned, too).
I reflashed Darkside and Evoluer again and the problem reappeared. Though I remember testing the CRT & auto-off before I flashed the theme.
I just now flashed Nottach's uninstaller (found in the Evoluer thread) and it brought me back to the stock AT&T theme (no Darkside theming), but that did not solve the problem either (bring back CRT & auto off).
I'm asking a couple of questions here:
1) Is this a known problem? The animation and or Auto-off disappearing for some reason, whether it's theme flashing, flashing that particular theme (Evoluer), or something else (kernel problem, etc...)?
2) Is there something I could have done that is easily reversible (something I ticked/unticked in settings?). I will also add that I always do a little Spare Parts tinkering when first setting up my phone. Could that have altered anything?
3) What are my solutions? I could always reflash, but that is a true PITA. Help, please?
Thanks for any advice or input you guys have to offer. Also, please let me know if there's anything more I can divulge that would help in your diagnosis.
At this point,

In spare parts you most likely ticked faster window animations....put that to normal and crt anim should be back....uh not sure bout your proximity problem.

Just out of curiosity, you didn't run into any other problem with spare parts, did you? I'm just kind of at a loss as to how it messed with the screen proximity off and want to make sure there aren't any other seemingly unrelated things it could break.
Also, where did you get yours? Is the Market version still being updated? I just want to make sure mine is up to date.

I'm using kens Alien ROM, its pre loaded. And no not really any problems. I Use it for compatibility mode and faster transitions, other than that I don't open it at all. I don't remember it messing with the sensor like that, I might have not noticed tho I didn't leave the fast window animations on for very long, but not so sure why it would bug out like that. Spare Parts shouldn't cause any other problems tho.

[POLL] Who wants to enable Samsung's mdnie on CM9?

So today I flashed CM9 Beta 1, and I noticed the screen was different. The colors were fine, but the text was fuzzy and the icons were blurry. I didn't realize that this was because they disabled Samsung's mdnie coloring, which in my opinion, made the text look a lot better. So who hopes for Beta 2 that they re-enable the old colors because it looks awful now! I know this sounds immature, but I've seen so many complaints and I have to agree.

Where is the poll?
Also, please include an option for "indifferent".
My ol' eyes cant tell one from the other...
edit: Ha! Guess I was just to fast, and thanks for the I dont care option!

It looks good too me.. I won't vote yet, I may need to flash back to double check but I am pleased so far..

Got a place I can check that I could tell better than others?
My eyes ain't what they used to be, and I would like to see if I can tell, where it is supposed to be most obvious.
Still, I would rather an option to switch it on/off over stuck with one or the other, if possible.
When it comes to Android, I always tend to go with the "more options" path

God I agree with this. Please change it back. I'm getting more use to it but it does not really look all that better, and has more negatives than positives.

I can live with it. It is certainly not a deal breaker for me, as I can tell the difference from beta0.

It doesn't look any different to me...I guess that means I don't give a crap. More free RAM sounds good to me.
Anyone have some screenies to show us the difference?

I definitely notice its smoother in the settings app and i like that. However i wish the text would still render i bit better and i hope that they re-enable mdnie in beta2, or at least find a way to improve the text while keeping the smoothness in some other areas. Idk. Back to beta0 for me.

The colors on my screen look more natural, but I don't notice any difference in text. I switched the kernel several times. I guess everyone's phone is affected differently.
Maybe it's something more complicated like differently manufactured screens or something (just taking a shot in the dark).

Some areas are better than others. I see it with black text on gray. There is a difference. Small, but you get the colors right you'll see it. Smaller the font the better it gets too.
I vote back or options.

I've been using voodoo color and then I updated to beta 1 and the white color is way off it looks like to me but it could just be not use to using my phone without voodoo

this was most likely removed due to the fact that CM roms use nothing from the OEM. If the is an OEM setting it will never be added to CM roms.

No, this was removed because the devs on "our" end were experimenting with it. They even claimed they were unsure what it did, but that Noobnl said it looked better without it. Read the blog there's more info there. They are also letting people test a temp boot kernel with it re-enabled so they can decide before the next release whether to re-enable it or not. I just with in the meantime that they would release a perm flashable of the alternate kernel isntead of just the temp bootable.

Really? I'll have to check with the CM team as they make it a point to never add any OEM features or settings. If its not part of the AOSP coding or CM coding then normally it is not added to Official from versions

What is stopping you from using CM9/AOKP as a daily?

Please share what is preventing you from using ICS roms. The Cyanogenmod developers for the Epic do not know what to fix unless you tell them. Currently I feel that CM9 is fully working for the Epic and have not run into a bug. It feels more stable than a stock ROM to me.
Please try to reproduce the issue on a clean CM9 (latest version) without a custom kernel and after wiping data before posting.

I wont use the ICS roms like AOKP or CM because there always seems to be something that doesn't work that I consider important to my personal daily use. I find it quite impressive that the roms have more customization that anyone could possibly use, but something that I need every day like VM or video recording wont work properly. And then there are the little things like volume and light levels or audio routing. I mean, there always seems to be something wrong with them, something that affects my normal minute by minute use of the phone.
further, I don't understand why the google apps aren't built-in. No, it's not that hard to download and flash the gapps, but at the moment I'm trying to do just that and the link isn't working- so no gapps for me, so no AOKP for me either. (yeah, I was going to give it a try).
lastly, white for the calendar background is about as enjoyable to look at as much as burlap makes for a choice undergarment material.

I like stock CM 9 beta 3, but I keep going back to the Nyan kernel for the voodoo color. Anyone else?
am I the only one that wants to see voodoo on Cm 9

Not me. I would much prefer a kernel as awesome as Nyan without Voodoo Color. Sure, while it does make the colors juicier and the backgrounds smoother, it's not as natural to me. The screen is much darker and if you try to brighten it, it seems almost washed out. I've tried it and have tried many different settings a bunch of people recommend, and maybe it's just me but I really hope they don't include it in any ROM. Considering that CM9 is meant to be an improved "stock" experience for all, the idea of changing the color contrast is too controversial. Many will like it, many will hate it. But for now, they should just keep what they have as most people don't seem all that upset about it. If you are, than just flash Nyan Kernel.

The people('s ROM) is stopping me..
too many updates and needed fixes for me on CM9, plus the lack of 4g and/or battery life....

All other things I understand fully, so I can't sway your opinion(not that I would try) but 4G in CM9? When I last checked it's working. Do you not have it in your area?

I used CM9 about a week on my SGS. I had some minor problems, but the worst think was, that my battery drains like hell. About 14h of normal ussage and that think was dry like a stone!
Now I'm back on MIUI Mintberry, I miss some ICS features but that Rom is stable as hell!

I go back and fourth with cm7 and cm9. i was on 9 for the longest but went back to 7 due to battery life.

I like CM to much will stick with 7 and keep trying each release of 9.

I wish some one would figure out how to get the touchwiz camera working on ASOP ROMs. There's a Sony camera that works on our phones & a few HTCs that I have tryed it out on. IMHO samsungs camera & the left right swiping are the best parts of touchwiz & the left right should be added to ASOP by now, NOT saying the Epic dev teams have to, its just suprizing to me that NO one has done that.

Um I played them all and Cm9 has more bugs and the latest release won't even call people. Or call audio whatever. Quite Frankly AOKP has better battery life plus it laggs less. Its your choice I'm just saying I used to be a CM fan boy. Not anymore.

Nothing anymore. Beta 3 has been great.

Kenny, can you please delete all posts until about when beta3 talk starts?
