The Nexus S isn't really a phone to phone :( - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if it is my fault, but the screen doesn't stay black until phoning, so i always hit the "mute", "hang up" or "hold" button on the screen with my face, very annoying.
any suggestions?

Kernel: Netarchy 1.3.0.8a for 2.3.3
ROM: NSCollab #21

i were on stock for about 10min
yes, it also happend with 1.3.0.2

CM 7.0.1 was said to have a proximity sensor bug, I wonder if the ROM you are using is related to this? I don't know much about the ROM you are using though, so I might be talking non-sense.

So your problem could be the ROM you are using.
Try stock.
Alternatively you could have a bum phone (bad proximity sensor)

I honestly think its either a bad flash or you might of accidentally messed with the setting. Go to the dialer and while on the dialer press the menu key and you should see a list of settings. Scroll down until you see the setting about screen time out while on a call.

when i go to the dialer and tap the menu button and select settings, i get a settingmenu, but the headline is "contact" the subheadline is "telephone" normal?
i just have two settings under the normal settings and "call settings" which could have something to do with the screenproblem and that are (sry i translate them german ^^) "always approach sensor" (on) and "screen always on" (off)

[Q] Phone Lagging Terribly when using Wi-Fi

Every time when I connect to a Wi-Fi network my phone starts to lag really bad. I've tried different Rom's and it seems to be a problem on all of them.
Anyone know a fix for that?
Thanks.

What do you mean by lag? Like your phone stalls and lag when opening/closing app drawer or scrolling app drawer and home screen? Or browser lagging?
I've never had this problem. But you can retry flashing the rom but before doing so wipe data/cache/davlik and format system.

I mean that it starts lagging overall. Everything I try to open it takes forever and sometimes it's so slow I can actually see some system animations frame by frame. I've the issue with stock software(no root) and after I've rooted. I sure hope it's not a hardware issue. Wi-Fi works it's just making my phone way slow and it's downloading via Wi-Fi...
Something else I've noticed-once in awhile when I try to turn of Wi-Fi it will say there is an error and it won't turn on-have to reboot the phone and then it works...but still would slow down my phone....
so if you're not on wi-fi the phone is fine?
What rom are you running currently, and stock kernel or no?

Has to be a hardware issue. Fresh out of the box shouldn't be like that.
Hmm, that is the third replacement and all of them had the issue out of the box....I guess I am just "lucky" then...:-(
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The only thing you can try is a custom kernel on a different rom, as the 2.3.4 rom has no kernels besides the stock one. I doubt it though since it is like that from out of the box.
Thanks guys. I might try and ask for another replacement phone from T-Mobile then....sounds like hardware problem....

Are you out of the grace period?
Do you have insurance on your phone? If you have insurance you should have no problem getting it replace.
Good luck!

Buttons illuminating?

When using the Desire S should the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons be hilighted? Is there a setting to turn it on if there is one as my eyes are bad and I quite often hit the wrong button by mistake.

Depends on what ROM you're using. Not possible to tweak it if you're on a Stock ROM.
If you're on a custom ROM, then all ROMs with the RCMix tweaks have a feature to keep the button backlight on all the time.
Just go to Rcmix tweaks>Display Options>Backlight settings>Set to "Always On" and you're done.
Hope that solves your problem.
Hi just to update it seems it`s not possible to highlight the soft keys(that is the Home, Menu, Back and Search keys) They are automatic, triggered by the ambient light sensor and from my point of view this is very annoying.
As I am running the stock rom at the moment I am looking at the market to see if there are any apps that will solve this. If anyone knows of any that can do this can you let me know?
Thanks

Like I said... Not possible on stock ROM. In my knowledge... There is no app in the market that can let you do that... Least of all, without root.

Another update, just found an App called Screen Filter it`s primary function is to control screen brightness but is has an option to Enable soft-key backlight. Just the job for me

Sorry for not posting earlier but al89nut is right it does not work. Looks like I will have to down grade my H Boot and root the phone and install another rom

stick a tiny black "electricity tape" over the sensor...that`s what i did and now i have them permanently on....the sensor is located a little above and to the left of the name HTC at the top...you can test exactly where it is using your fingertip

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

i get a weird problem that went im in the messenger app, if im typing in landscape and then go back to portrait the screen has a weird black overlay and I cant really see anything... it wont go away unless i restart the app... other than that stuff is running fine

Its kind of strange, people can receive my messages but I won't get theirs when they reply. I've tried wiping cache and reflashing but it was still a problem.

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

Boot loop
I posted on General ICS thread before I saw this one, but I used G2x Scrubber and I have tried normal Factory Reset, and Than I flash CM9 and Gapps( for 4.0), but it gets stuck at the Lg screen and goes into bootloop... I can still get to recovery but I cant get CM9 to work any suggestions?

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

Camera doesn't work, any suggestions? It will start up and take a picture but then freezes.
get the camera 360 app from the market. it works perfect for me.
GPS works. Not sure if it's more or less stable than Gingerbread though.

Well, it was happening with Kernel it came with. I've tried switching to Air Kernel 3.4.5 and it happens with that too. Once or twice it doesn't but then it happens again. What i did now is I turned off Auto mode for brightness and now it doesn't seem to be happening. Any ideas what sort of Kernel settings might be affecting this? I don't mind turning the auto off for brightness and keep it at certain level but it'll still be nice to know. Thanx Much.
If you can adjust the gamma settings this should help.

Gamma settings...how can I change those? I've been flashing and such since Jan now but by no means I am pro at all these. Any app that i use? Any particular setting I use? I am using a Nexus S. It's so weird, I have never experienced this with any other rom i've tried.

[Q] weird dialer glitches?

anyone else have an issue where when in dialer and they press the button to go to the number screen they have to press it twice. Everytime I press it, it opens a blank screen and I have to back out then press it again to make the numbers appear. This is between 2 nexus 5's now. My replacement does the same thing. I thought it was a glitch from romming my phone but since google sent me my new one it does it to on stock rooted rom.
Also When I unplug my headset it goes straight to speaker mode and I have to press the button twice to turn it off. Also between 2 phones.
Just want to know if this is an issue for most or just me, and it would be weird its happening with both phones. Thanks
Yes mine does it too. Annoying bug for sure.

That explains it because I always disable animations. Thanks.
