Does any Google Nexus S phone running AOSP Android reboot on its own like some Motorola Android phones do, or shut off unexpectedly like some Motorola Bionic phones do?
I am trying to determine if it is an underlying problem with Android, or if it is something Motorola might have introduced, or if it might be a hardware problem.
The Google Nexus S looked like a good reference phone to compare with.

Not any phones without significant issues (running a stock AOSP rom)

No problems here. It probably has to do with the fact Motorola phones requires hacked together roms because you cannot flash custom kernels.

Motorola phones reboot on their own because they can't take custom kernels?? Is the stock kernel the culprit? Under Froyo, my DroidX would reboot when connected via USB. There is reason to believe that a running app that resided on the SD card was not yielding to the unmount request, and the phone had to force a reboot as a last ditch effort to get the app to release the SD card to be mounted by the PC.
I also found this thread about the Nexus S: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...y-phone-randomly-rebooting-every-5mins-d.html

My stock unrooted Nexus S has rebooted itself a handful of times (3 or 4) in the 7 months or so that I've had it.

Thanks Matt! That would indicate the problem might be with Android and not something Motorola did.

Might not be supported yet is my guess...
Nope not working here either. Shouldn't be too much longer before they fix it.
a lot of these apps don't work properly on 2.3
It does work, what doesnt work is the Gba emulator
Contacted the developer and he said he should be able to fix when he gets his nexus s.

Any update on that? Does it now work for the Nexus S?
Snesoid has worked on mine since I bought it in January. I did pay for the app if it matters. I'm running on stock unrooted 2.3.3.
I played Super Mario RPG start to finish with no issues or lag at all. I can confirm gensoid works also.
Xda app won't let me upload a screenshot. Wrong format.

stock unrooted
Hi,
new to android world. I've bought a nexus s yesterday and downloaded snesoid from market.
Dumb question: where do you put the roms? as nexus s doesn't have sd card is not clear to me how i should setup application to work properly.
It is unrooted and i want to keep it as it is for the moment (want to learn more before to do it).
Any help?
thanks in advance.
I think i figure out ... it has a mnt point within sdcard as there is one...
I am using the rooted stock Rom that was discontinued. I haven had any issues with it till now.
I noticed he created it with an older SU then what was in the market. I tried upgrading though the market but was getting an error the it was not signed correctly.
Now I have flashed the correct one from here on XDA. Now randomly I get a FC on com.noshufou.Android.su and it just happens. Can't reproduce it by trying it just happens when it wants to.
Is there a fix for this?

Flash a different rom using cwm. Android revolution is great!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
When FC's happen intermittently and randomly, wiping your cache and flashing is the way to go. I've had the same problem but they usually always followed flashing something or trying to install/uninstall something on a non-stock rom. That always fixed problems for me. I agree with above post. Revolution Rom is great
I will try that when I get back to the house on Friday.
BTW this phone really rocks. Much better then the Cappy I just sold.

I just got my phone today. Still getting used to it. Not used to the keyboard at all!
First thing I did was get YouTube working then get stupid zombies
What did you do?
I came from HTC magic (sapphire) then to a Sony x10. So this is my 3rd generation device.
Is there any point to rooting this phone outside of customizing the ui or overclocking?

Rooting opens a lots of possibilities.
Like add or remove system apps
zip align
bootanimations
overclocking
and a lot....
the list continuous...

Don't get me wrong. I understand there are benefits to rooting. But never have I seen a phone with less advantage of doing so. My x10 was loaded with garbage software that needed to have root access to remove. I shouldn't have too see boot animation often and am not a big believer in huge quadrant scores.
What exactly will zip align do for me?
(charged Battery to max)
fastboot oem unlock
Well, I left mine stock for like a few weeks. I then decided to root so that I could overclock it. Eventually I found myself flashing Cyanogenmod 7. I believe that half the fun of owning an android phone is flashing different ROMs.

I went right to the about screen in settings to my first android phone out the box with 2.3.4.. It took me three weeks to root the stock, flash a kernel and that reminds me I didn't create a back up smh. Okay time to power off and get to it.

unlock the bootloader, CWM, create a backup, then root the phone.
Smashed it against the wall.
I download all my apps and test how they work with the nexus s , then check all the apps working time like the camera apps, and I root a few weeks after (mainly for battery indicator )
I'll try cm7 and miui soon tho

Is there any way to run multiple roms on the Galaxy S3?
Say I want to boot and pick from PARANOIDANDROID Hyperdrive RLS14 Liquid smooth or any other one. Maybe run some off the ext SD would be nice as well. Can you do this? I search and couldn't find it, if there is a post can someone let me know. Not even sure if this is possible.. lol But would be sweet..
Thanks very much..
I would say yes, theoretically, since there seems to be enough space on the system partition for 2-3 roms. And this has been done for awhile on the iPhone (dual booting Android/iOS) but I'm no developer, so I don't know for sure
I'm hoping so. We were able to with the DROID X but who knows. It'd be pretty cool

I haven't seen an option for dual boot or triple boot. I had that ability on my nook color and always liked it.

But I don't think you can run them off of the Ext SD Card, since it's data steam is slower in the way it's mounted

They have this for the droid 3 I came from, its called safe strap and it was pretty cool for trying out new roms and not worrying about bricking but it was for bypassing locked bootloader though. You can find out about it in the d3 forum but it would be nice to have something like that since we have so many ROMs to choose from.

Used to have this on my dinc2. App was called boot manager. Doesn't work with the s3 though....

Pretty sure the people who made the app stopped updating it, it was called boot manager.
I used it on my dx, bought the paid version and gave up. It wasn't really made for a locked up phone, you had to be running a cm based rom to dual boot, it was more hassle that it was worth.
Just make backups.

I just recently purchased a Nexus 5 online and it came pre loaded with Android M, which I was excited for. However with me using the camera a lot, Android M is not for me. (Camera pictures flipping, app crashing, etc.)
Can someone provide a stock lollipop ROM, or let me know if there is a way to downgrade and keep stock? I am all for rooting and flashing, but with Nexus devices it's just made for stock OS.
A flashablr tar.md5 file would be preferred because I like to use Odin, but otherwise a .zip will work too.
Thanks!

Yes, I dropped my galaxy s5 and there was no external damage, but the drop damaged the internal sound card. So all audio was heavily static.
I used a website called swappa.com to buy my new phone.
