i mainly want to root the nexus and play with it use it as my work phone.

Or what do you expect from this thread? To prevent the same thing happening again follow these steps:
1. Think about what you want to write.
2. Write it down in your best English. (no one cares about a mistake but many people hate lazyness, nd wirtin liek dis is nawt coole man!)
3. Reread your post. If it's no good go back to step one.
4. Post!
I know there's an endless loop in this procedure if you keep writing rubbish, but if that's the case it's probably for the better.

I just got one. Also have a galaxy nexus. Nexus s is a great secondary phone. It might even become my daily driver because I like the size so much. IMO 4" > 4.65".

Nexus s on jelly bean has brought the phone up to another level! Definitely go for it

If you can get one for cheap, it's worth the money.

Yeah, if it's not much money, go for it, but don't expect it to be the fastest Droid ever. It is good for its price, but if I were you, I'd go for Galaxy Nexus, for a bit more money you get a huge improvement.

[Q] HTC Magic Android 2.2 Live Wallpapers

Hi,
I have upgrade my HTC Magic Android 1.5 version to Android 2.2 .
I have seen new features like Live Wallpapers, it's not working in my phone.
i have tired the Market themes it's not there,
is there any place???
please help me.
If you're using cyanogenmod 6, live wallpapers are not supported for the magic because the phone doesn't have enough graphic processing power. I have tried using live wallpapers on the mytouch in the past and frankly, it's just too choppy and not worth the effort. Give up the notion of using LWPs on the magic. It will never work. If you can't live without LWPs, buy a new phone.
Ummmmm nevermind. Sorry to the open for my original post
@chrisgto4 Were you abused by live wallpapers as a child? The way that you responded shows a lot about your character, and not in a good way. May I suggest you seek some other outlet for your anger, rather than unloading it on some innocent bystander?
Srry. Post changed

How did one of the first updates sent out end up going to a complete tard. I hope there is no lwp just so u will shoot yourself.
Btw its 4am here. I just got the update. Followed by a text from tnobile that says....."no ****ing live wallpapers...quit asking" ....but i found a way to make it work. This is so awesome. I did a live wallpaper of me skull ****ing your mom...when i double tap the screen it switches to your sister. I wish there was a way to add sound cuz it shows them gagging...but i need sound.
Point is if your gonna waste space in here atleast make it somewhat fun to read.

I'm guessing you also like to hurl abuse at someone when they ask you a question to make yourself feel big.
As I said, it shows a lot about someone's character. I'd also imagine that anyone who will say that to someone online is exactly the kind of person who would never dare say that to someone face to face.

I didn't say anything pal. I just laughed. I'm not no internet thug. If I have a problem with someone then they'll no when I see them. You should mind your business. If I feel like laughing at a comment that someone else made then what is that to you? Are you the person I'm laughing at? You have a South Park character as your icon and your talking about me. What does that say about your so called innocent character?

LWPs work fine on my rogers magic(32A) running cyan 6 stable
not sure how the MT3Gs (32B) handle LWP's, i would imagine they would be slow due to lack or ram....

HD2 = What a great phone;) How do you think it stands up to the NS & New Phones?

Guys the Nexus S is great, but credit where credit is due, the HD2 is freaking amazing.
The beast will run ANY ROM, and will do it with few errors. One day you can have Sense, the next WM7, Then maybe Linux or Meego.
It even has a functional port of 3.0

fortunately, your post is absolutely proper for the general section. and i even agree with you that the hd2 is able to be very diverse. but, as a phone, the nexus s blows the hd2 out of the water. coming from one troll to another, i think that you already know that. otherwise your posts would say "sent from my hd2 magic wand"

i think that youll be downgrading, i wouldnt do it. id just buy a cheap used hd2 to hack on, like i did with an original droid recently. just to hack on for fun
I own both phones. I think the hd2 is great for its versatility and for how much it has evolved. However, compared to the nexus s, performance of 2.3 on the hd2 is nowhere near the nexus s. Battery life is also horrible on the hd2.

Anyway, I agree with Simms, I think replacing your Nexus S would be a downgrade. My friend has one and I can attest to its horrendous battery life. Although I do love the fact that it has so many software choices.

In the future, if you want opinions, ask them as a question instead device x is better than device y statements. If you reread your post, you'll see that it sounds like you are trying to instigate an argument.

Really guys?
- Purpose of this tread is not to complain about LWP. That's why its called "Atrix Trade In" and asks "what is the best way to go about trading in an Atrix." For purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter WHY I'm doing, just the best WAY to do it.
- I know standard ways of selling a phone. Just like you can sell anything else. I'm not an idiot. That's why I asked for the BEST way to sell the phone i.e. some exchange that I may not know about where people exchange devices etc, or potential some return program through AT&T that I may not know about.
No need to be complete d$&#s.

I'm so confused. I'm using my Atrix right now, and I've definitely got a live wallpaper going right now.
Also, if you're really gonna sell it, Craigslist. I've sold a couple smart phones and plenty of music gear within 24 hours or less for a good price. Just make sure to put up pictures and your phone number, and if possible have original packaging and proof of purchase.

What the op means is he wants gingerbread, gingerbread brought along hardware acceleration. Hes going to trade his new phone because there is a tiny amount of lag in the launcher while using an ornamental wall paper. Well I am a ****, so I'll go ahead and say it, you are an impatient moron.

Well at least you'll admit it - that's the first step, I guess. Moron? Do you even know what the word moron means? Apparently I have "mild retardation" because I asked how to sell a phone. That makes sense.
And this is General Atrix forum. Development questions go in the Development forum. XDA, true, began as a development forum but has obviously expanded. Check the rest of the threads in this General Atrix forum - most have nothing to do with development. If anyone has mild retardation, it seems to be you, because apparently you can't read (note: illiteracy is a sign of mental retardation).
Thanks for the tip on Craig's list! I'll check that out. The lag comes in when you use a launcher with animations with LWP. LWP works, just not well enough for my tastes (I bought "the most powerful smart phone in the world" so things like this wouldn't be an issue).
The OP isn't really looking for help. This is just an attempt to take a jab at the Atrix veiled as a request for assistance.
At least that's my take on it.

The atrix general forum is filled with confused people asking for help and giving advice. There are questions about the atrix in mexico, how to enable 1080p recording, how to get better battery life. Then there is you... Asking how to trade the atrix. Just say it to yourself... How to trade the atrix...
I'm glad your just discovering the interwebz but scooby doo is less confused then you.

Btw if you want to root.... its so easy on this phone
Enjoy
I have had this for 2 month on t-mobile and am very happy.
Well, the rest 100.000 of us here on the forums also got this phone. Now imagine if we would all create a new thread to express our joy. Wouldn't that be a cesspool? Just saying...
Yeah, good job, it's a nice phone. Take care of it.

Congratulations
First of all, congratulations on getting your new phone. I can only say that this phone is still one of the best out there, especially for the developments made for this phone (credits to the developers). For me, it was my 1st android phone. So, I had a pretty long time searching for what I can do to this phone to bring out it's inner capabilites. One of them, is to root your phone and install ROMs inside. Since I love to customize my phone, I feel that rooting is essential for me and went ahead to root my phone. If you are considering about rooting your phone, do take note that the warranty will most probably be void

Instead of creating threads that we bought this device we just spam the CyanogenMod 9 thread and annoy the developers.

After have used 3 iPhones (3GS, 4 & 4S), I've decided to left the Apple's smartphone. Reason? Reason is very simple, after doing the update to iOS 6.1.2, my wifi button is became greyed and still greyed I try to discuss with Apple to swap my iPhone but no change ... In Belgium, the warranty for Apple is ONE year and following european regulations, the warranty should be at least 2 years!!!
So I decide to change the rule and break the wall ... After a benchmark of the market (S3, S3 4G, (future) S4, HTC One, Z, etc.) I choose the S3 4G.
Ok, no problem to change the world when using natively Google ... Stop the iPhone, put the SIM into the S3 4G GT-I9305 and let's go.
After the first period of excitement a bug appears ... some time the S3 don't ring when incoming call came ...
First part of the solution, change the SIM to a newest. Conclusion: better signal from the Proximus network (4G).
After 2-3 weeks using the native Samsung Android version (4.1.2), I investigate to flash my S3.
So, because I'm using a Mac, Odin is not a good idea.
Based on this forum, I decide to follow the steps below:
1) Backup IMEI through a Windows PC
2) Download directly from Cyanogemod site: Clockwork Mod Recovery, Heimdall, CM 10.1 and Google Apps
3) Upload to the SDCard of my S3 the CM 10.1 and Google Apps zip files
4) Using Heimdall, I flashed veeeeery quickly CWM without problem
5) Reboot and go to CWM menu to wipe and install CM and Google
So, as from past saturday my S3 is working on CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2.
First result: The fluidity and the daily confort is better with CM than native Samsung firmware.
Just a "bug" ... incoming calls make no sound by vibrations yes ... following this forum, I've maybe a problem with my MP3 ringtone. So, I'm using a native ringtone and waiting for a non ringing incoming call
A great thanks to Cyanogenmod and XDA to provide a very profesional experience based on native Android.
Kind regards,
Andr3.be

Hello HTCSnap93,
I'm not a Fleming but I speak flemish
Currently, yes i'm happy with Android ... I've also an iPad but ... i'm looking for a Android tablette :angel: so wait an see
XDA needs more people like you, taking time to research your problems without spamming the boards with questions.
I think you will be happy with Android, it's so much less restrictive than iOS

Haha that verb should go in urban dictionary "To glebun, the act of spamming forums with useless posts just to raise your post count"
But let's not derail the thread.
Dear all,
Thanks for your 'hello messages' :victory:
And don't panic guys, that's not usual for me to flood the board with stupid questions ... Google is my 'best friend'. :good:
This evening, I've experienced the CM update ... Wait for download done, reboot the S3 ... and that's fingers in the nose to update my S3 with CM :good:
I'm happy with my Jelly Bean and I love the easter egg ... Multiple taps on Android version shows the red Jelly Bean

This post is much better than the normal 20 posts saying "how do I do this, that or the other" when the questions have already been answered.

Oh yeah. I totally agree on this. Well, people wouldn't mind if those "how do I do this, that or the other" are asked on the Q&A forum or in the specific thread. But on General forum? Oh gosh! That is just ridiculous.

Well, this is my first Android mobile too. And I came from a couple iPhone experiences and Symbian N8.
I totally discovered a new world here on Xda. With iPhone I became a lazy user taking and standard apps and there isn't much to customize...
Symbian scene is half dead (still a pity btw) so Android was the better option for those who want some challenge and improvement of the device.
Pity I'm just a beginner but since I started reading this forum I learnt so many things :fingers-crossed:
I remember being impressed with IOS initially, now it drives me mad, not even being able to change your keyboard or properly interact with the filesystem, it's nice to be free! I'm loving CrDroid at the moment, so much to play with.
