Am I Okay for Daily Use? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I just got the Nexus S 4G last night, traded my Epic 4G Touch for it. Hardware wise, I guess I downgraded, but practicality and such - I'm a very happy camper.
GPS works great, fits like a glove in my hand, and I love that it's in a much newer condition lol.
Any way,
This phone came running on an ICS build. I'm not really sure which and it seems stable so far. I'm just curious, is there a more recent type of ROM/update I should run on or is it okay to just stay on this build here.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Your running the latest android version.

So pretty much, I shouldn't have to flash any new rom or anything. I'm good to go! Lol. Thanks!

Except of course, if you want to go to the Dark Side.

I'm sorry, but that was a bad trade to me.
oh well can't stress over a $200 loss.
if you want stable, then what you have may be stable. if its not crashing of course.
now what you have seems to be 2 months old. and to a lot of us. that's like a year.
I wont endorse any ROM because they havnt included a thanks in the OP mentioning me.
mine is still in develoment. its the best.

Lol, I didn't take a straight loss. I had guy put money on top to break even. But yea it seems stable so far, battery life is nice too.
Thanks for the input!

SHARK YOU TROLL GET OUT OF HERE ( winky face )
Anyway, to the OP, I actually went the opposite way.. I traded my nexus s for a second e4gt, kinda regretting it.. You will love the ns4g, it gets the job done.

T-Mo sending out Gift cards

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mobile-loves-you-sends-out-gift-cards/
Got mine in the mail today Thanks but that still doesn't make me forget about the hassle you put me through with the Vibrant and the G2X, maybe if it was 200 then I would let it slide..hahaha
Cool. Basically going right back to them for my next months bill.
Hmm, I will need to wait to see if I get one in the mail. This could mean an upgrade slightly sooner. Trying to decide between G2x and Sensation. Really like the G2x more, but I'm just worried about quality and reliability.
Is every customer getting one? I didn't see any criteria in the link?

Got mine today! Not too shabby, although Sprint gives me more $$ in discounts per month than this...
Sprint coverage sucks if I leave the Cities, but I really cant complain with unlimited mobile to mobile minutes, unlimited 4g data, and yearly upgrades for $52/mo
Yeah I wonder how they selected who gets one. I'm sure their not sending it to everyone.

Mind heading over to the infuse development forums and providing a system dump to us AT&T users. It will greatly help the Custom ROM development on your shiny new Infuse and make it a better experience for everyone
That was my plan but my boss ran out with the only working demo.. gotta wait to get my own lol

I would love to get my hands on the infuse, from what I've read its an amazingly well built phone with the power to back up the looks and I've been a huge samsung fan since the first galaxy phones came out. I definitely will have to get one for dev/personal use when my finances allow, and also the wife....lol

Lol yeah it is huge the icons on it are bigger than some of my widgets on my cappy and I've seen portable dvd players with less screen. It truly is a monster of a phone, but in a good way, not like the motorola bricks of the 80's that you had no hope of fitting in even a large coat pocket, they were some sturdy pieces of tech though I have one that I held onto that's been thrown, sat on, coffee spilled on, the list goes on and it still powers on and holds a charge and had 0 cracks anywhere on it, well the last time I had it out anyways, its been a lil while and after moving its hard to say.

it's based off of the leaked screenshots not official at all nor is it garbage
dam fine. a tad laggy for me but its bearable. especially since it looks awesome. didnt think i would like ics if it looked liked this but i starting to change my mind.
Works well, a little to basic for me. Personally I enjoy the options to fully customize. Does have great potential.

Things like this will not be tolerated. Calling something garbage is rude and insulting, Not allowed.
Swearing in the forums will get you a one way ticket to bansville.
This is my only warning.
Looks like z beat me to it but I'm going reiterate what he said.
Cut the crap or get banned. Your choice.
Ok whoa dudes, BIG misunderstanding here. I thought this launcher was an official peice from Google. I had no idea anyone here made it. If so, sorry!

Android Revolution 6.11
Has anyone tried this on Android Revolution 6.11 with Sense 3.0? If so, does it play nice?

Sad to leave so soon.

I thought I would be leaving the mt4g when I got the galaxy nexus...as I will.
But still my stupid volume rockers stopped working.. I have insurance so so I called t mobile and they are expecting my mytouch 4g slide to arrive friday. :/
So I will miss all thegreat developers in this phones dev section. Thanks for all your great work!

Deal with it!
Awww, too bad dude. Hopefully development for the slide goes crazy. Have fun.

I've been really down on T-Mobile lately, but it's nice that they're replacing MT4G's with the 4G Slide now. I certainly have no need for a physical keyboard and wouldn't want the added bulk, but the slightly better performance specs are nice.
Are you claiming it on the insurance or is this an actual t-mobile store replacing it?

T mobile is replacing it, it had 90 day warranty on it plus insurance. Thru the warranty technically :tho. Y?

New victim!

So, I have just acquired a new victim, an acquaintance's old Charge. It's pretty...shall we say...stressed? The chassis is quite beat up but the phone itself still works fine. What should I do with it? Anything short of any damage to the device. I'll even send it to a developer assuming they want it...

Pretty sure MidnightNinja doesn't have one. He's currently building another NinjaRom completely tested by others.

I would much rather it go to someone else... but if no one else will take you up on it I would be interested. My son has been... well, less than friendly to the charge in its now-wifi-toy status and I find myself having issues maintaining the usb connection for odin/pc/anything as a result. I have been trying to odin back to ep4d for the last few hours... I THINK I got it now - made it farther than any time before anyway lol.
Anyhoo - I suppose consider me a default case if you are really interested...? As an alternative, you could always use it to try and tinker yourself... I don't know if you've noticed but there aren't too many cooks left in this kitchen
Well, considering I couldn't even understand how to compile kernel source, I don't think I'm the one to be tinkering...
Anyhow, I'll send it to any developer who's interested. My only request is that I get it back to me upon release of the Galaxy SIV, as I'll be selling all the devices I have to get some pocket change for college.

To be fair... neither can I
As far as my interests in your extra phone go, I think I will wait and see if any other takers arise for this - I would much rather get some other people involved.
Well, this thread is open. Anyone who wants to try their hand, post in this thread and we'll take a vote. I talked to imnuts a couple of months ago about this (I knew I was going to get the device, just didn't know when) and he said he was too busy to do any dev work, through I don't know if that still holds true.
Anyone who wants the Charge for development purposes, post ITT.
Tell all your friends.

Maybe once the source is released, we will get a kernel dev that needs one.
