Original sw on nexus s

I was wondering if you guys the following software on your new phone installed by default.
Qik
App brain
Skype
Quadrant
Speed test
Because when I got my phone from best buy it was already there and I am wondering if I got a used phone.
Sent from my Nexus S

None of those apps were preinstalled on the 2 NS's I bought on 12.16. Looks like someone played with/used it before you got it.

I agree with Herr Bauhaus, app brain alone proves the phone's been played with before you got it.
Disappointing to hear that Best Buy is slipping returned phones into the "new" bin. If nothing else, they should have given you an "open box" discount. I'd take it back and demand that, or a new one. Turn it on before leaving the store and make sure nothing on the phone.

Thanks...this is disappointing. Shame on you best buy
Sent from my Nexus S

just some more confirmation, none of those apps should of been on the phone, you got a used device. Take it back and demand a new one, also as someone else said, open it in store.
if it still has the film over the screen telling you how to turn it on then thats a good sign but best to still turn it on and make sure no other apps are there.

If you had them on your old android phone that's why they are there. I suppose best buy installed you stored wifi passwords too

well.. when you first turn on the phone, it does say Welcome to Nexus S... so thats a indicator if it was used or not

He never said his wifi passwords were restored, and if it were Google restoring apps via the backup feature from an old phone, wouldn't it restore ALL his old apps? I doubt those were the only apps he had installed on his old phone, if he even had one...I guess we should ask him (did you, OP?).

It will restore as many as it can, depending on a couple variables. One variable being reception. If you are turning on your phone for the first time in a location with crappy signal, you will probably only get a partial, if any, app restore. I speak from experience here.

And the rest will never come in after the first attempt? Not a very reliable system, then.
I remember it working for me once with my Nexus 1 way back when, but it's never worked reliably when switching to any other phone.

Of course also on the app restore issue there will be a notification letting you know that X number of apps were restored (or if there was a partial restore as well, I believe).
Whatever happened to the OP?

There's no restore notification as far as I know.

My apps and settings didn't restore when I replaced my nexus s. I have backup my data and automatic restore enabled, and did on the previous phone too.

in the end it's quite clear the OP got a "used" phone from the "new" phone pile from BestBuy
it might have even been from some of us here in XDA that found some defect and sent it back (j/k)
if i were you, i'd got back to complain at BB, and get a new unit
as mentioned by the guys above, you should get a WELCOME screen, touch here to begin your setup wizard.... blah blah blah, and no weird software should be installed
you can also go into Phone> Settings> About, and check on the usage status

That's odd, I always get a restore notification letting me know how many apps were reinstalled after changing devices or wiping/restoring.

Thanks guys for the answers. Quick update. I went back to BB to replace the phone and got a new one. No more extra apps.
I also noticed that this time the screen was no longer a finger print magnet either. They must have cleaned the previous phone and stripped the anti-smudge coating.
Problem: This time around though, I have a problem with the back button being stuck sometimes -- checking on xda forums and google forums, it looks like this is a hardware issue. Guess this phone is going back too. Too bad.
Maybe i'll just wait and see what happens to the GT-i9023.....

No for me. I did not own an android phone before (well, except for the 2 weeks I owned a Vibrant last summer), but I never had Skype or Qik installed, so it is not possible that this is a restore.
This was a used phone from Best Buy.

Nexus S 4G [D720] - data extraction question.

So I ran over my phone. The digitizer is smashed, no way to use the phone via GUI. I took it apart at work today and noticed the SanDisk SDIN4C2 16GB NAND Flash memory module is removable. I will be receiving a replacment model tomorrow from the insurance company, and was wondering if it would be possible (and safe) to place my memory module into the new device. The only thing I would be worried about is some sort of weird pairing between the nand chip and the motherboard.
So my question to you is which method do you think would be better to extract my data?
1. Do a complete motherboard swap without activating the device to avoid ESN conflicts, put the device in USB mode, and pull the data?
2. Simply swap out the memory module and pull the data?
3. Attempt to pull the BGA chip off of the silicon, and access have a data center rescue it?
Option 3 is expensive, and I am pretty well rounded when it comes to hardware knowledge. I just want to see if anyone else has had similar experiences in getting the data from another device without physical SdCard storage.
Thanks,

Yes I do. I have been in consumer Technical Support for about 2 years now. I work in the Corporate Call center in Texas. Also option 2 is the most attractive.

Was the phone already rooted with a custom recovery on it? If so, you should be able to get into recovery without using the screen at all. You can adb pull from cwm and/or enable usb drive mode to get at data.
If not already rooted, then I would tend to say <1> is your safer option. You won't have to do any soldering then at least. Of course it's possible that in your running it over more than the digitizer is actually screwed. So if that fails, pull the chip off and transfer it over to get the data off.

There is a module of the Android sdk, called screencast. It lets you use your PC as a duplicate screen. You can use your mouse to navigate your phone.

Exactly. We don't really get all that much info very quickly. Engadget generally gets info before we do lol.
Also, I forgot to mention that the charging port is a no go.
However, I received my replacement from Asurion, cracked it open, switched the modules over and it work like a charm. Came back up exactly how I left it.
Thank for all the input everyone.

The sandisk chip swapped and clicked in like butter. Worked like a charm. All data is intact. Making a backup. RIGHT NOW.
I am also rooting it tonight, tired of google to re-push ICS. and on a blank phone I may as well go for it.

Google Wallet not working!!

I got my nexus 4 yesterday and i opened google wallet. It said "setting up....wait about 5 min" blah blah blah. After waiting i got this message, "Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the phone has network access and try rebooting if the problem persists." I tried rebooting it and it didn't work. i also have access to network. Would anyone know what could be the problem? Who else is having this?

Same problem here. Have you gotten it working yet?

I'm getting the same thing, got my RMA replacement phone in yesterday and haven't been able to get wallet setup yet. Called device support and was transferred to the wallet support team after trying to do app cache/data reset failed. Wallet people said they weren't sure what was going on either and punted to their escalation team. Currently stuck waiting to hear back from them to see wth is going on....
Had no issues with wallet on my original N4 and I'm guessing either these are refurbs that didn't get properly wiped, or something else screwy with the secure element. Or perhaps the wallet system doesn't like seeing more than one phone of the same type on an account (tho I did wipe my first N4 before setting the new one up).

After rooting mine it says it was an supported device but still let's me go in. Anyone know how to fix this?

Mine is also a RMA replacement unit. I also wiped my original one before sending it back. However, I forgot to disabled wallet from the web on that device before dropping off at UPS. My wallet device page now says wallet on that device will be reset once it connect to the sever. I an not sure if that has anything to do with the current problem.
Please keep us posted.

Same here with a replacement device. If I restore a backup from my fist n4 it works fine though.

I would retry setting up an account at a later time. As dumb as it sounds, it's taken me a few seconds to set up or almost an hour. I don't know why this is the case, but i'm sure it has something to do with google's service.
Supposedly the unsupported device message means nothing interms of the operation of the app. I have personally never been able to use Google wallet locally, even when I was unrooted.

Yea, on the Web it's showing the old device as disabled and I'd actually wiped from within the wallet app before signing in on my new device. I followed the same procedure when I upgraded to a 32G nexus 7 and didn't have a problem. Logcat is showing it's waiting on the secure element so I'm starting to lean towards this being a hardware defect.

Been trying this off and on since yesterday afternoon, keep hoping it'll decide to magically work. The unsupported device message is just a warning if you're rooted and hasn't prevented me from using it on my previous N4 or my old gnex.

Called Google support and transffered to Wallet support and this the reply I got:
<reply>
We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulties accessing the Google Wallet mobile app. You seem to have encountered a known issue, where the NFC Chip in your SIM card and the NFC Chip in your device are preventing you from accessing the application.
Our engineering team is working hard to fix this, but it will likely take a few weeks to be resolved. If you'd like to continue using Google Wallet, we suggest you try to use a different SIM card that does not

I don't think this is the cause of the problem I am having. I tried to launch Wallet without any SIM card in my phone and still got the same error. There couldn't be interference from the SIM card. At this point, I hope it is not a hardware problem. Otherwise, I'll have to RMA the phone, again...

I'm in the same boat. I received a replacement device yesterday and I was trying to get Google Wallet working all day to no avail. I also tried everything I could this morning and nothing. My last step was to do a factory reset before calling Google. I had no luck after a factory reset. I called Google a few hours ago and ordered yet another replacement. They sent me an RMA and I'm going to have to send back my original defective device back first (yellow on screen) then order a second replacement.
I think this is a hardware issue. Seems too coincidental that everyone that has received a replacement this week including myself are going through the very same issue with Google Wallet.
BTW, I'm not rooted or have an unlocked BL.
Edit: I didn't get a refurb. The replacement was brand new in a sealed box.

Is there any way to determine if this is really a hardware issue? I really don't want to go through another RMA if this is fixable by software. Not sure what else might be broken in the next replacement...

I have a rooted Nexus 4 and google wallet is not working. I don't think it's a sim issue: I'm almost sure is a google wallet problem:
With phone rooted but no google wallet installed, I passed the phone on a cab credit card machine,
the machine recognized a number and emitted a "beeeep". After I installed google wallet is no longer working

I have this same problem; I'm not convinced it's hardware, but I don't know how to be certain.
On my first N4, Wallet works all the time, with or without the SIM card. On my replacement N4, I always get stuck. Every other app that uses NFC (Android Beam, Barcode Scanner, Taginfo, stuff like that) works fine.
It's possible there's some hardware defect on the refurb batch, but I'd be more likely to blame software somewhere.
(FWIW, I also deactivated my first N4 and that made no difference. Both phones are completely stock and not even rooted.)

I don't have any problem activating Wallet on my first N4 either. It seems strange that all of a sudden people are having problem with their RMA replacement units.
Android beam works fine on the replacement, so the NFC is working. The problem could be just the secure element. The system log shows Wallet failed at initializing the secure element.
I called support the second time and they have escalated my case to a specialist. I hope it is just a software/firmware issue. Going through another RMA would be painful. The wait for the new unit, dropping off the old one, not sure what could go wrong with the new one, restoring my apps and settings, not to mention buying a new set of Skinomi invisible shields and reapplying them.... :banghead:

I came across a post for the Nexus 10 having the same problem. The issue is resolved by unistalling and backing up the original Wallet app using Titanium Backup, then download and install the Wallet app from the Play Store (older version). The app will activate fine. Then restore the one that comes with the phone.
I have no idea if this will fix the problem on our N4 and I am definitely not liable for any damage on your device if you try. However, it might worth a try if your pHone is already rooted. At least it will prove that the problem can be addressed by software.

One thing I have noticed (and apparently a bunch of other people) is that my replacement device is subtly different on the surface. I have a different black area around the rear camera and a different feel to the buttons. There's reportedly a different internal hardware revision too...
Hopefully this problem is something boring like a revision bump on the NFC chip that unexpectedly requires different initialization. :fingers-crossed:

I'm going to try root it again and see if it works. I just installed Liquidsmooth ROM thinking that it would work but it didnt.

Tried removing wallet with titanium backup and installed the market version, was able to do the initial sign in and setup steps but it failed to add any of my cards. Going back to the version that came with the phone just resulted in wallet crashing at startup. Cleared data and back to the same waiting on setup screen.
Out of curiosity, are folks using the android version the shipped with their phones? I flashed mine to 4.2.1 right out of the box so I'm wondering if that was my mistake.

[Q] No OTA? 4.2.2 Question

Hey Guys!
I'm from the UK and I own a completely stock, unmodified Nexus 4 and every time I check for an update, I am still 'up to date' on 4.2.1.
I have already tried the frameworks cache empty and force stop thing. It stopped all my push notifications up and destroyed my Google Account link to my phone (couldn't see it on Google Play Weblink...etc). Alas, I spent 1 hour fixing it (no phone reset, YAY!) and am in no way prepared to ever do that method again...ever! haha
Anyway my question to you is....should I worry that I haven't got the OTA yet? It's come through for a lot of people on XDA forums and after owning an Apple Device for a couple of years and being used to the instant update, I am slightly concerned....
Your thoughts and wisdom is much appreciated!
Thanks

I've been stressing out (like...seriously) all night about the push + google issues after using the framework short-cut. I think everything is working same as normal now! (reconnect google account, clear cache for play store framework and play services, clear app data for all apps). I nearly died when I found out what happened!

usually OTA is released country by country

Disable location and then clear framework followed by disable and enable framework.
Now check for update.

Don't force stop just clear the data and check for updates.
But yeah my sync stuff got messed up afterwards as well ... so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really need the update asap.

Just wait... there is literally nothing in 4.2.2 to get excited about.

OP, if you're still not updated. Do the following:

DO NOT force-close, just (in this order) clear cache/ delete data/ disable app/ and re-enable app.
don't touch location.

[Q] Google Wallet on a Rooted phone

Ok, I've tried to get Google Wallet on my rooted S4 without asking too many questions, but I'm not sure if I'm messed with the system too much or not but regardless of what I do I am unable to get the NFC portion of Google Wallet working. I am running MDL and have frozen SE on the system.
I did try to follow the information on how to get it to work for the S3 and the S4 on AT&T but I am either missing a step or am really bad at getting simple things to work. Does this work on a rooted S4? Are the steps even the same? How can I learn more about this without running and asking questions for every little problem I have? (last one is really just more of a frustrated question).
If anyone could take a few minutes to point me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. If it can't be done, I understand (and may be relieved as sad as that sounds).

I have Google wallet installed. It says "unsupported device" but it works on my rooted phone. Wallet may not work on AT&T but it works on Sprint.

What rom/kernel are you on? I'm using agat (64gb exfat works great!) and kuban rom and google wallet does not even launch for me.

I actually have Sprint, but have been reading the other forums just incase my questions can be answered by a little research.
The problem I have is that it still says unsupported device but when I go to scan against an NFC reader (IE like those at CVS) it doesn't transmit anything. I turn my phone on, open it, and even open google wallet but nada.

Stock (MDL) rooted rom. I have frozen a few services /apps and removed the Sprint scumware that was installed along with a few samsung apps, but haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks man.. I'll have to check it out in 8 hours when I get home.

I installed his zip file. It does start up now, but says unsupported device.

Try reinstalling it, and then see if it fixes it. If that doesn't work, I'll search the threads for some solutions.

I actually have Sprint, but have been reading the other forums just incase my questions can be answered by a little research.
The problem I have is that it still says unsupported device but when I go to scan against an NFC reader (IE like those at CVS) it doesn't transmit anything. I turn my phone on, open it, and even open google wallet but nada.

Is there a fix for the unsupported device? The above file is for deodexed ROMs.
Specifically I am rooted stock, and would like to see some love.

It does the same for me but I think mine is working... it's really weird. I wasn't able to find a fix yet so hopefully someone might be able to help us out.

I actually may have stumbled upon the fix using NottachXposed. Basically I just installed Wallet as normal and attached my account, then I went to NottachXposed›Applications›checked Google Wallet hack and rebooted. I have used Wallet 2x since doing so at 7-11 and at CVS. Nag screen does not show and my purchases went through.

Maybe you're broke?
<- Not helpful.
Actually, dumb question, but you do have a valid fund source set up in the app?

Can I have some money?

Can any one confirm Wallet working on Rooted stock? Mine is displaying "unsupported device", but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
