[Q] Samsung Nexus S will not turn on

Okay so I got my Nexus S in December of 2011. It's worked just perfect, it's a real peach but yesterday I was trying to use it normally and it froze. Then it shut off. So I left it a few minutes and turned it on again. It starts up with the black screen with white letters that say "Google" and it never loads more so I wait with it for s few, then pull the battery and try again many, many times. Same result.
I really hope someone knows how to fix this without wiping the phone. Please Help!

Yes I did.

can you press power button and volume up at the same time and see if it will get you into the bootloader and report back

[Q] Infuse screen bright neon blue/pink on unlock

sometimes when i turn on my phone with the power button, the whole screen is a neon pink or blue colour. you can still see everything through it, its like there is a transparent neon pink screen over it. everything still works fine, and it doesnt go away untill i turn off the screen and turn it back on, like lock and unlock. it has only happened a few times, and i want to know why. i am running ZEUS 6, on rogers canada. thanks.

Then you should be researching and reading. This has been brought up and talked about numerous times in multiple threads.
Edit: Notice I didn't give you the answer.

You are impossible big!!!
A simple screen off and on should do the trick!

bro i checked the other threads and they dont help with jack, so i made a new one hoping id get some straight andswers from nice people who i can thank

I'm not that smart but could it be because of the bootloaders bigfau? Wondering if I'm doing the right reading of threads.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk

If boot loaders are messed up, your phone won't boot up in the first place and give you a rainbow screen (colored lines all across the screen). From what you mentioned, its doesn't seem so. Its a normal issue due to some display drivers problem. Don't bother too much. Just turn the screen off and on.

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !

Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

ha, i'm getting all kinds of help on this thread. thanks dude! Ok, I'll try another shot to get help on this thread. On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts. Kinda stupid if i'm in a txt conversation w/ someone.. screen keeps coming on.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..

Notification light doesn't blink after rooting

So I took the plunge and rooted, flashed beans ROM. Loving it so far.
My only issue is that my notification light doesn't blink it now stays on constantly.
I've kept my setting the same bit cannot get this corrected.
Has anyone else had this issue?? If so how'd you fix it.

The notification light is supposed to blink? I didn't stay on stock long enough to notice.

Rooted stock rom here and led notification works fine.

Lol, its supposed to blink. I'd like to hear from someone running another rom to see if it is happening to them as well.

I too am just stock rooted using noxious ninjas method and since seeing this thread i've only had a facebook notification and that is just a solid red, not blinking but i'm not sure about other notifications since I haven't had any yet.... But before I rooted, I could've sworn a FB notification showed up as a kind of purple light and now its just red!?
[Edit] I just sent an email to myself to test the notification and it does blink blue, so it is working and per the comment below, FB wouldn't make it blink anyways.

3rd party apps don't blink the light. Stock apps do.

That stinks that 3rd party apps dont blink. Is that something that can be addressed in future builds??
Any other workaround or mod??

I agree, super annoying. Wish my led would blink for sms and mms, instead of just staying on.

Notification help

Hey guys, I've had this weird problem for awhile where I can get an icon like normal in my notifications bar but nothing is there in the pull down. So like now I have an email, but when I pull down to tap and open, nothing is there. Super duper frustrating. Anyone know a fix?

Well what rom/kernnel are u on? Are u rooted? Did u try clearing cache's? Did u flash anything with out wiping?

I've seen the ghost email notification, I believe it sounds notification sound too.
When it comes in, it shows a new email then disappears upon touching it.
I've noticed this about three times.

Sounds similar to me, annoying right?? My condolences...

Hmm sounds like a bug in the Rom I just thought if u had dirty flashed something that might have caused it

nevermind

We'll see how it goes here with different rom.
Testing three roms for a daily driver helps at times for things like this.
