I've had my NS since May without a screen protector and it's in surprisingly good condition. However, I'd like to get a matte or anti-glare screen protector for it primarily to prevent fingerprints and make the screen smoother to touch. Does anyone have good recommendations? All appreciated...

I've been running ICS on my NS4G for about a week now and it's radically improved how I like my phone. Everything about it seems better. It's faster, smoother, prettier, etc. And I appreciate how it is more unlike the iPhone now than it was before. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Alright, good to know. Perhaps it's just a Sprint network issue (since I do remember my Tour doing it). I just didn't think the NS4G did it originally, but that was also before the updates that fixed all the supposed radio issues.

I've been having an "issue" on my NS4G since one of the updates way back when (and still now running CM 7.1.0.1), where I can have 2-4 bars of signal on 3G, and the phone will show the bars drop to 0, then in a few seconds, they'll bounce back up. The drop does not seem to affect the actual...

I do get poor coverage in my school (a one building law school) which probably doesn't help. Yesterday I flashed the up to date Oxygen ROM. Based on one day's usage, I do seem to get better battery life, and my phone seems much faster. I just hope this isn't a temporary effect of wiping the...

I don't keep NFC on, so that's definitely not it. Something could be up with the antenna. I can have full signal, then it'll drop to zero, then bounce back to full. I figured it with a software issue, but if they don't all do that, then I guess it's not. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

It's really quite pathetic. Kind of makes me want to consider an iPhone... Even with all the supposed iOS 5 battery issues, those things can still usually make it at least one day.

I've had my NS since May, and lately (as in the last few months), I cannot get through one day of light to moderate usage. I'd say I average about 8 hours before the low battery warning, and all I'll do is some light texting, WhatsApp messaging, check email, and read some RSS feeds. If I don't...

I believe the burn in (which is temporary) is an issue with Super AMOLED displays (I remember reading that somewhere). It reminds me of how plasma televisions leave shadows when the screen goes black temporarily. My NS does it too, but I never considered it a defect. (My crappy-ass battery...

I still use GTasks. Syncs perfectly with Google Tasks, has just the right amount of features, and reminders work properly. It's not beautiful, but I paid for it a while back and it's been reliable ever since.

Also, Google confirmed on phones with actual buttons, such as the Nexus S, ICS will not use software buttons, but will use the hardware ones instead. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Ever since I bought my Nexus S 4G, I've kept the NFC off. I live in Boston and keep a CharlieCard in my wallet, which is a plastic "smart" card used on our subway/bus system, which uses NFC. Whenever I'd place my phone near my wallet, the Tags app opens and detects a new "unknown" tag. I...

I'm getting 1 to 2 bars of working 3G in a building I used to get no service in. Also, the browser scrolling and zooming is much, much smoother. No 4G toggle widget though. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I actually ended up with the LP force closing on startup problem and I'm now trying out GO Launcher Ex. I'm liking it. Particularly the app folders in the app drawer. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
