Screen would not unlock

Hi,
I've only had my Nexus S for a couple of days and loving it so far, but this morning I had a problem. Here's how it happened:
When my alarm clock went off I hit the snooze button and turned the screen off, went back to sleep. 10 minutes later the alarm went off again later as expected and so I hit snooze again and turned the screen off like before. 5 minutes later I decided to get up as otherwise I would have been late for work, so I go to my phone to disable the alarm as otherwise it would be buzzing when I'm in the shower and the missus would get annoyed. The problem however was that I couldn't unlock the screen! I was jabbing at the power button repeatedly to get it to come on but no response at all. I ending up removing the battery. I should also add that my phone was plugged in a the time as I'd left it charging over night.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I will try and replicate the problem. Here's how my phone is at the moment:
All my homescreens are bare apart from the main one where I have a 4 shortcuts, google search bar and the analogue clock widget. Apps I currently have installed are: Ebay official, facebook official, Twitter official, 3G watchdog, Fruit Ninja, Angy Birds, Live Holdem, Google maps, Gmail Unread Count, Movies, TV Guide.
I'm hoping that this problem was just a one-off.
Thanks

sort of same here. i bought it last thursday and today i can't use the lower part of the screen, right where the phone, menu and browser icons are. Space bar won't work when writing text, etc.
If anyone knows how to fix, pls share
The device is stock 2.3.3, i9023XXKB1, didn't root.

I have been using Nexus S for 4 months now, and I do have random reboots once in a while. Did the phone well work after the reboot?

I never had responsive problem on my phone other than the phone just freezing... Maybe theres something wrong, go ask Samsung.

unfortunately i also have such a problem now! since this morning my screen does not respond on touch correctly...it is very hard to unlock the screen (have to do it very slowly, bar is jumping like crazy) and after that it seems like the screen is reacting even on any reflection, suddenly the status bar is coming down, if i am in a menu, it always scrolls down and up...damned, that sux!
any ideas what i could do? or is this a case for samsung support?
ps: i did not flash anything in the last days, i even restored my nandbackup, that i made after 2.3.4-update (no custom kernel, no nothing), but that did not change anything...

[Q] Received ICS OTA, then it disappeared!!

The weirdest damn thing happened to me...I received a system update available notification (i.e. ICS) as I was going to bed. I thought I'd just do it in the morning. When I woke up, the notification was gone, and if i try to go to manually do a system update, it says device is up to date.
anyone experience such an issue, and how can I resolve this?
thanks

Same thing happened to me. I was on 3G and decided when I get home I'd use wifi to download and update. Now it says up to date.

so weird!! all other updates previously would remain for days... anyone find a solution to this yet?

Same happened to me to this morning, it disappeared

wait or
you can update ics by making manual promotion

I prefer to avoid manual for two reasons:
1- I still believe the actual OTA version varies slightly than what is claimed to be the official OTA release in zip format. Little touches are always done before pushing an OTA update.
2- I have a broken power button, so can't do much in bootloader, or even get into it.
Perhaps google took it back to do some more bug fixing. But I'd like to hear an official statement if that's the case

Please explain. I've tried:
Checkin
System Updates
Resetting phone.
Seems like the update was pulled. No matter what I do it says the phone is up to date. With all these stories of people bricking their phones I want to stay relatively legit.

Same thing. When I heard google started pushing ICS, I flashed back my nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.4 to get the OTA update, Immediately I got 2.3.6 update and installed it, and few hours later when I wasn't home I got the 4.0.3 update, and I thought I'll do it when I get home, but then it disappeared and doesn't comes back no matter what I do.
I did backup to the corrent stock (2.3.6) and tried to flash back to 2.3.4, thought maybe it will push me again, but now it doesn't push me 2.3.6 either.
Are OTA updates one-time only ? or it supposed push me 2.3.6 again ?
anyways I restored 2.3.6 and I wait hopefully to 4.0.3 again.
Please update here if you know any solution. I know I can install it manually, but I prefer clean OTA version.

after I update to ICS manually, the VPN doesnot work, so I flashed back to 2.3.6 and want to update by OTA.
but till then, the 2.3.6 system says it's up to date...

looks like it's pulled by google...hopefully for some enhancements... still waiting for something official

we had it in our hands and we lost it

Same story.
Last night I saw the system update notification and after 30' (charging the battery) I lost it.

I suppose it's due to issues with ICS 4.0.3. For example I can't make outgoing calls (SMS, incomming calls and data - works fine). Had to revert back to 2.3.6. Now everything works. So for two days i saw update notification and today it dissapeared. So I hope they found a problem and will fix it soon.

yeah, I guess I'm glad I didn't install it then. I'm sure it was pulled for a valid reason, so it's best to wait...fingers crossed that it won't be too long of a wait.
In the mean time I think I need to get my power button fixed, or hope the widgetlocker works on ICS so I can use my volume locker to wake the screen!!

Not an official story by any means but it looks like there is definitely something going on.

Suddenly having extremely weird system issues/resets.

Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem

The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.

Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.

Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality

[Q] Problems since unlocking Bootloader

As the title states, since unlocking my bootloader I've been having 2 issues The 1st was that the soft keys quit working.They were completely unresponsive. I solved this by resetting the phone to a backup I made in TWRP after i unlocked the phone. The 2nd is a little more persistent. the 4G icon is now Grey. It used to only Blue I had never seen it Grey. It will have 3 bars but still Grey. Also last night at home and I've only seen this once. While on wifi and with a full signal. The wifi icon was Grey. I remember my DX2 had this issue but I don't remember what the fix was.
Any ideas ??? Thanks in advance
I've also just noticed that all of my emails sent though gmail aren't being sent ?

I had a similar problem with two RAZR Ms after unlocking those bootleggers and rolling back firmware with rsd. Was not able fix before phones got replaced. They went gray and did not have data other then WiFi.
1080xt 4.4

The gray data icon isn't a problem, it's just stock Android. The Verizon ROMs had the blue data icons left over from JB.
The icons were gray but turned blue when connected to Google services.
I think there's an Xposed module that will let you theme the icons any way you want them.

Pixel showing wrong time in notification

See this photo:
https://goo.gl/photos/Ns9nKJotNX7mZnhz6
It seems that the digit in the top right corner of notification stops updating, and always showing the old time.
It will only update if i try to switch the time format to 24h and switch back, and it stays there since then.
A reboot will fix it but the bug may appear randomly. So I may get the wrong time and be late...
Pixel XL using totally stock rom without root or unlock, build number NDE63X(manually updated through google's full ota link, i didn't recieve any ota update since bought with NDE63N)
Anyone has the same issue?

Same issue here this morning with my Pixel.
After an hour the time was up to date again.
Build number NDE63V

Haven't had this problem on the pixel yet, but used to get it once and a while on my Samsung phones. I always thought it had to do with the network feeding the phone the wrong information. After a while it would update and be back to normal
