Nexus s won't boot up - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My roommate's nexus s won't boot up. He was having power button issues and found a video telling him to connect the phone to the computer, pull battery and hold "X" then put battery back in. The phone wont boot up now. Help me please

It won't even turn on?

Take the back cover off and try to connect it to the computer, play around a bit with taking out the battery etc, with a bit of luck it will turn on. Otherwise you need to get your powerbutton replaced... taking apart your phone is not all that difficult. Good luck.

Thanks guys. We've fiddled around with the phone and can't get it to turn on. He is gonna have to send it out. Its a bummer but it isn't really a common problem

Why does everyone I reboot my phone.....

Why does everytime I reboot my phone..... It resets screen time out. It set the time out of screen to 15 seconds ( THE DEFAULT TIME). That is so annoying. Any fixes or tips to help me out???

What rom are you running? If its stock try a factory reset because I haven't heard of that issue for as long as the phone has been out

battery bug infused 1.5.3

Today I was out using my nav app and things seemed really laggy. Without thinking about it I held power button in until phone powered down, at the time I had about 60% and when phone came back on I had 11%? I powered down by way of the reboot menu 4 more time and every time I would get a little bit more until it just stopped at 39%. Has anyone else had this problem?
P.S phone seems to be ok after full charge.
Have you tried running the battery calibration app from the market place?

Battery calibration app does nothing to our phones. Ask entropy he's explained it before. Also I have had that as well, but it will come back slowly, but should still be charged again

Would this happened if I were on stock?

Hard to tell it could just be a power management fail

well I let it get down to about 5% then gave it a full charge, and its working great now. funny how a battery pull and many restarts would not fix the problem.
Battery calibration does nothing on our phones.

What is this screen...

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

Ics has an option under settings. Display. Weather. To enable or disable this.

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.

I guess i should mention im running sky ice rc7. Not sure if this is something specific to the rom or not.

Safe Mode?

Somehow while messing around last night with the button reset I got the phone booted up into safe mode. Anybody know how to replicate this?
On JB you hold down on the on screen shut down and it asks if you want safe mode.

Think I saw this once holding down vol up & down (maybe pwr?) during boot. Prolly a timing thing, couldn't reproduce.

Went to best buy and every note does the same thing. I'm guessing since its so thin this happens. No biggie I guess.
