i9020a Bugs with menu and search - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do these bugs happen with every rom? Im so sick of it i want to revert back to stock. Do all roms have this bug?

What bug?

When you get a weak 3g signal the menu button and search button fires. It was my understanding that it was because i9020a was not competely compatible with i9020t and i9023. Am i wrong? Can someone else weigh in on this please?!

I remember hearing about this in the Gingerbread days, don't know if I saw anything on it since there was an update that had supposedly fixed it.

I haven't had the issue before, but when I was in an area with weak reception (while out of town) I started having the search button going crazy/being activated. When I had the problem I using JellyBelly ROM. I switched to Brainmaster's Stock JB 4.1.1 but no change. Now I'm using JB inverted 4.1.1, back at home, with no issue.
Now that I've read this thread, I don't believe it is the ROMs but possibly the reception issue.

[Q] ICS on GRK39F I9020A (Rogers)

Hello, everyone!
I have a Nexus S from Rogers, Canada.
The Build number is GRK39F
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
I'm running 2.3.6 and I'd like to know if anyone here has updated to ICS successfully with this phone. I want to force the update but I'm in doubt if it is currently working well.
Anyone?
No official OTA for the I9020A yet, but you could always flash a custom ROM from the development section if you are rooted.
Still waiting for the official OTA for my Nexus as well, but I think I am going to try CM9.
I9020A ICS Update
My experience with the AT&T/US version is that I was on 2.3.5 and would not get any other OTA updates.
I did manually update to 2.3.6 and did not experience issues with it.
I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted. No change to experience.
I then flashed the official full 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T (at my own risk!) and then flashed a compatible radio and did not have any serious functionality issues, but did experience quite a performance lag.
Based on this experience, my take is that there is much to be done for the official I9020A ICS ROM with acceptable performance, and if you are going to wait for official, you are probably going to be waiting for a while.
I have been very pleased with the performance of a custom ROM dedicated to the stock ICS experience along with the recommended custom kernel. Blazing fast compared to my short experience with the official. I have done this all at some risk, but the XDA community is pretty awesome and with a lot of reading of feedback put me at ease and made it very easy to experiment.
I feel your pain
Same situation as you, forcing the checkin doesn't work because there simply isn't an OTA yet for the 9020a
hope it get's here soon!
Cheers,
JM
Worked for me
I have a Nexus S from Fido and I'm using ICS.
I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20456900&postcount=1
I didn't have to flash a different radio or anything. It all seems to work great. Should be the same for Rogers network.
Hope that helps.
ICS on Rogers 9020A
I did the same as ProfBurz yesterday. So far so good. no issues with battery life of reboots. Having some fun with my work exchange account right now but I'm not sure that has anything to do with this ROM.
My exchange account works
My work email is functioning fine. It didn't work the first few times I tried though. No idea why, I rebooted the phone and it worked.
One thing I notice is my contacts with pictures show up pixelated when someone calls. Wrong image size or something? They look fine in text messaging, just show up enlarged when calling.
I have a i9020a on AT&T and here is my ICS info:
Verision: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9020xxKB3
Kernel Version (stock): 3.0.8-gb55e9ac; [email protected]#1
I am also running Nova Launcher (beta 13).
My experience with this has been very good overal. I had some initial problems with data speeds with an earlier radio (can't remember which one), but with the new one (XXKB3) I'm getting about 2mbps down and 1mbps up which is good for the area I am in. I was watching last night at work and I got about 10 hours on a battery and I was only at about 46% then with moderate use (internet job searching some pandora streaming ect).
And just for clarification, this is the 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T, as mentioned by the_real_nwags.
The few complaints I have are minimal and forgettable, but the app drawer takes a few seconds to open (slight lag), but once your in the drawer everything is silky smooth. The other issue I have is Google Wallet doesn't seem to work. Now whether that is my fault or not I can't be sure . The only other issue I have is while streaming Pandora, sometimes it will get stuck "Loading" the next song, but that usually happens right before a comercial, it normally goes right to the next track without a pause.
There is a slight lag to the system, but nothing horrible... I have used worse. So if your interested in trying ICS, this is a good start. I am thinking about trying a new kernal for increased cpu speeds, but I don't know about that yet.
I have a nexus s i9020A on rogers and as long as you flash a rom with no radio, like CM9 or cyberGR. I also have the AUCKF1 radio and 4.0.3 and all is well make sure to download the auckf1 radio just in case your radio goes wrong somehow. Good luck!

Problem with random flickering of search button ?

Hi all
I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing the same problem as me here.
Ever since I installed ics onto my nexus s. Both asop+ and cybergr roms
I've been experiencing this thing where the search button just keeps on going off.
Sometimes it goes away in a bit...sometimes it doesn't. And I would need to do a battery pull to have it go away.
This happens when I use glados kernel. Matrix 1.45 and 1.5
I'm not sure why this it happening...hoping someone can enlighten me here.
Thanks !
its a known problem on the ns specifically the i9020a. i belive its something to do with the radio. some people have reported changing radios has helped but i dont think there is a solid fix yet. i have experienced this on gingerbread and ics.
hope this helps

[Q] CM10 LTE settings sticking

I know that during the development process for CM10 there were issues of LTE settings not sticking, especially if you had upgraded to 2.20 and kept root. Has this issue been fixed? I tried searching but was seeing mixed answers...
Already fixed, as far as I'm aware. With latest nightly (10/12) you should have proper LTE.

[Q] CM10 Google Nav crashing. Can anyone help?

I have been on CM10 for the past 4 weeks or so. Love it, but google navigation keeps crashing anywhere from immediately to ~30 seconds after launch. Maps, directions work fine, just when I launch NAV. running 20121101.063920 but this issue has been happening in the last couple of builds. Can anyone help?
I am seeing the exact same problem on recent CM10 builds for the Sprint EVO 4G LTE. I've been unable to find the cause.

Yes, I've been following the issue as well. Still no luck, but it seems to be in the pipeline for a fix. Here's hoping.
Me too
I have the same issue. HTC EVO lte Other than that really annoying bug in GNav, I LOVE cm10. One other issue that I have is that sometimes on third party apps, when I pause music, it will pause, and then play for a second and then repause itself.
Same issue here... It happened to me since first nightly... I've lost hope... Will change to a sense based rom.

will not change, read the posts about the stock jb release sense based, we have the same problem. HTC is obviously sitting on its ass!! As usual.
Stuck with crashing NAV now.
Yep... I've tried several sense based roms since I originally posted this. I'm tempted to go back to stock ROM, but I'm Cincinnati Bell Wireless and haven't been able to find my stock one. I wasn't smart enough to back up the original ICS that came with the phone. Guess I'm stuck with whatever NAV can give me in the 15 seconds before it locks up each time.

Another EVO LTE user with same issue
Another EVO LTE user with the same problem. Almost immediately after opening to the navigation screen after selecting a destination, the app crashes. This seems to happen on 10 and 10.1.
Any fix yet?
Anyone know a fix to this yet?
Seems whether I run a stock-based or CM-based ROM I still get this issue if it's Jelly Bean.
The workaround has been to run Google Navigation in 2D mode... ALL the time...
Took some getting used to, but it's pretty silly to be stuck with this.
Long term... I'm moving to S4.

[Q] Why no GPS better yet why no mention of it being an issue with CM?

I am extremely frustrated with what's going on with my P3113. My GPS is not working with CM9/10 or PA. When I have stock installed locks instantly with 8 satellites. When I install CM/9 right from stock after whipping data NOTHING. What is even more frustrating is the complete and total lack of any threads about this issue. You can't tell me I"m the only one with this issue. I flashed with Odin back to stock 4.0.4 whipped data and installed CM 9.1.0 for p3113 and still NO GPS lock. There is no mention anywhere that GPS is broken on CM9 so why is it not working? North America GT-P3113.
I bump this thread in hopes of someone making a comment about the GPS situation; it's true no one comments about it.
