Questions/Thoughts from new NS user (coming from Galaxy S) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1)In the mobile network there is only the option ''Use only 2G networks''......in the Galaxy S i had to choose between 2G,WCDMA (3G) and auto...so now i only have the option for 2G or to leave it in default which is simiral to auto.
2)Also in Galaxy i had the option to adjust the vibration level in Haptic feedback....
3)I noticed that flash is not pre-installed.
4) Is there any way to insert the power widget into the notification bar.....?
5)I have it for 2 days by now and the only ''bug'' i noticed is that sometimes it frozes when i try to turn on usb storage.....
6) I sometimes notice that the nexus s' s keyboard stucks a little bit while typing...is there anyone else with the same minor problem?
In general i am very pleased with nexus s compared to Galaxy s...ok i dont have 720p (nexus s' s video and camera quality is ok for my taste) or radio but the smooth way of 2.3 that is running in NS cannot be compared to any ''buggy''custom rom (kitchen or darky) i used in the galaxy.The only thing i miss is swype
All the ''broken apps'' i ve installed are working flawlesly....there is no reason for me even to root it....this phone really rocks!!

Lenovo S10 android X86

I've tested Android (2.2) Froyo on Lenovo S10 netbook. The generic stable release version of Android 2.2 (android-x86-2.2-generic.iso) does not work well at all. The problems are:
1. Screen Flickering
2. Feel slow for 1.6ghz cpu
3. no wifi
4. cannot wake-up from sleep despite holding down ESC or Arrow Keys
so I used IEEE PC version (android-x86-2.2-eeepc.iso), and found improvement. Screen stop flickering and feel fast. however, there are still no wifi and cannot wake-up from sleep. SD reader slot will not work, but instead it recognizes usb flash drive as SD card perfectly.
If anyone know how to get WIFI working or fix the sleep problem or any improvement on Lenovo S10 running Android Froyo, please post. Thanks

anyone faces the same issue? pls respond. thanks.
I think 1.6 is the only stable x86 Android version there is.
android 1.6 able to use wifi on Lenovo S10? or only some specific netbook?
Same issues here. I hope that this will improve or even that they manage to port honeycomb to it.
What about forums on x86 android? Imagine having cooked roms for your laptop

About which S10 you are talking about, S10, S10-2, S10-3...?
I own a S10 and I tested http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-2.3-RC1-eeepc.iso
Works well, no flickering and wifi is working.
I (and probably most of other people) am talking about S10-3t, which makes most sense to use android since it have touch screen.
s10-3t good work wish android-x86-2.2-r2-s103t.iso
1. Screen Flickering -( non flickering )
2. Feel slow for 1.6ghz cpu (work very fast, will start in 10 seconds with SSD)
3. no wifi (godd work after disable Ethernet card on Settings)
4. cannot wake-up from sleep despite holding down ESC or Arrow Keys (Yes, cannot wake-up, bat I solver this problem - Disable sleep screen)
for me an unsolved problem now
- keyboard Lenovo does not change modes English-Russian. only change mode En-Ru on screen keyboard
- and mini problem, all sites are loaded in the mobile mode, not very convenient.
PS. I formating android partition in EXT2 for SSD long life and fast work files system!!!! EXT2 no logging files system! for SSD and fast Read-Write it's good.

[Q] P3110 keyboard sound issue

Hi, I've just updated my P3110 to Android 4.0.4 via KIES. The new keyboard is great but there is no sound on touch even though I enabled this option in settings. System sounds are also set to max and of course silent mode is switched off And general sound on touch works flawlessly (the new one, like in Galaxy S3) only keyboard is silent. Can anyone confirm this issue? Cheers.
Try setting/keyboard or language and setting and try to find samsung keyboard and see its setting (of keyboard) and try to tick and apply sound on press or so
I do not have stock rom i have cm so can not see options exactly sorry
Or Try 3rd party keyboard as go keyboard (beautiful themes)
Sent from Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Tab2
As I said, the keyboard sound option is enabled but still there's no effect at all. I just find it strange and wonder whether it's a bug or something got messed up with my update.

[Q] Samsung GT-N7105 Note 2 CM 10.2 stable update?

Hi. I am asking this here, since I don't have permissions yet to comment in the Note 2 thread.
I installed CM 10.1.3-stable on release day and there are obviously stuff missing compared to stock (like NFC and Beam icons (and the features too i think) in the pulldown menu, hand-over to wake from sleep, etc)
Trebuchet crashes sometimes too but not too often. (but i'd hardly call it stable )
But especially, I have problems with phone call sound quality and general buggyness when it comes to the phone part altogether.
I could not get CWM to install either (screen just flickers and continues boot, had to install some other recovery. (Pointing it out since the install instructions says to use CWM) I know the thread is for Nightlies, but i cant find a thread for Stable. And i dont have permissions anyway.
So i was wondering if anyone knows if there's any 10.2 nigthlies that are better than 10.1.3 Stable, and if it is, when will 10.2 be stable ?
Overall I've had a nice experience with CM 10.1.3 though. Not gonna uninstall. But i hope development will continue
Edit 1: Also, the meter for GSM signal strength also doesnt turn blue until you turn on wifi. But then both become blue if you enable WiFi.
And i dont think ive seen it deviate from 100% GSM strength. I used to have some variance in my house before i think. (but dont quote me on that one)

Galaxy ace Camera Problem

Android 10 [Q] Features Report/Feedback

So I know there are other android 10 threads out there but I felt like y'all should get a list of whats new in front of your eyes instead of looking around:
**Improved night camera quality - Yes I have felt and improvement it is slight however, but it did get somewhat better.
**Google's new navigation gestures (I felt like I should write this because last updates, Sony phones did not get the nav gestures) however the new gestures seem just a tiny bit laggy -rarely though- and when in landscape mode, the slide down bar drops not in a symmetric way but rather drops right sided which makes things look out of place
**New CinemaPro app features - the app now has the levels of both phone microphones like on the v50 and also has aspect ratio check lines (if you want to shoot a video on cinema pro it only shoots 21/9 but you can have check lines to see whats being viewed in any other aspect ratio you choose and you also have a meter inside the camera to show you if youre in the frame or not)
**Dark mode - works on most apps, but I can't seem to activate it on my phone app, any suggestions?
**UI click sounds changed - yup! I love the new ones they sound more like Android rather than Sony and I do love Android!
**FINGERPRINT!!!! - Yes!! finally fingerprint scanner is way more responsive now!! before it was sooo strict about the cleanness and the angle, I registered 3 fingers and it only could recognize one of them because of the angle it provides, but now every finger on any angle with less cleanness is verry responsive! (could still be worked on, but im so happy with it at this moment)
**Sadly no more face unlock, even though I never used it but it worked surprisingly fast when I had the option available, but now it doesnt exist, good thing they improved the fingerprint scanner XD
**Slightly improved battery life - I only noticed it when I tested it, but if youre not a detailed tester you wont be able to recognize throughout the day, maybe if youre a slight user, yes you will notice the phone lasting 2/3 hours longer (overall usage and not screen on time) because I can tell they worked greatly on improving the idle drain.
**Speaker loudness - I think the phone got louder? I am not sure but defiantly notice something that didnt exist, not necessarily higher quality but I do notice something increasing in volume I cant tell if its volume or distortion lol but when I go to max volume there is something that makes you think, a little lower than max sounded like max on previous android but I cant tell if max here is actually louder or just more noisy especially with dolby atmos
**Some people reported signal drops? or bad signal? I havent noticed a difference here so thats good news
**Performance - the phone was fast enough to almost be the king of speed and smoothness so yah even if its better on android 10 I cant even feel the difference but it is VERY smooth even on a new android which means its pretty sick!
**Recent apps button (in old school 3 button nav bar) doesnt seem to do anything if you have custom launcher, but works on default sony launcher.
UPDATE!!
**one handed mode, which I use alot when im in bed, cant seem to be activated in the new navigation gestures, because you have to double tap home button but u dont have it in new gestures, so heres what i did:
Enabled side sense, i know it doesn't work properly, but now you have an option of controlling how to access it, You can actually enable the inside the screen tap rather than from the side (if you have a case on, this will really help you) , adjust sensitivity, position, transparency of the slide activators, and change the gestures of how it works, now i changed the double tap side sense from opening the side sense menu, to activate one handed mode, and now side sense works smoothly with gestures and i can activate one handed mode in new android nav gestures, youre welcome
Thx u for this thread
UI seems a lot smoother. I'm liking the android 10 gestures which adds to the "smoothness".
Can't really say about photo quality, haven't been using the camera much. I can definitely notice a better battery life compared to before.
Basically no issues just yet! Aside from me getting used to the new gestures (+ side sense)
Im using the google dialer app in play store. It has a way better ui, better icons and dark mode compatible. Set it as default and it's all good. I don't understand why sony have decided to use the "stock" google messenger app but not dialer... the dialer seems customized in some way idk
There is a bug that I noticed: when going back home using the gesture, if the app icon is on the dock, the icons a bit laggy and will flash for once. don't really know how to describe it
Someone can make a full review of android 10 and post it on youtube ?

Yah you just reminded me to add that bug, also if you on landscape mode the slide down bar is off place slides from the right rather than the middle of the screen

I will try to do so soon, when I have free time from work
Agree with you.
- about the signal, i notice less signals bar (1-2 signal bars most of the time), but no connection drop (yet)
- wifi Mac address new option, set by default at "random Mac address"
Here's a preview of the swipe up animation bug?

Does anyone else have a weird audio bug where when you pause music or a video the sound spikes up for a second before it pauses. I've only tested it on the native music app and YouTube. I don't use any music streaming service such as Spotify or Pandora. I think I've concluded that this is a software bug since I when I flashed back to the previous firmware and didn't have the same problem. Maybe my device is just strange. Any opinion?

Precisely, IDK if that happens with pixel or one plus devices, but I know that it happens with Xperia 1. When you go back to the app, let's just say it's inside a folder, app shows in the dock then the folder pops back. Then if you open an app let's just say dialer then you switch to camera with recent menu and you go back to home screen it shows dialer app on where the camera icon then you get the camera icon back in the dock. Am I right?
