    Am I the only one not having network issues....?

    (For reference I live about 30 miles south of San Francisco near Palo Alto, and I work in downtown Oakland) Wifi shows less bars at home, but it performs fine. My 3G is about the same as with my Pre. I can't really tell much of a difference. I think it shows a few less bars at home, but again...

    Support Group for those switching from WebOS (palm pre) to Nexus S 4g

    Seems like I'm right behind you again, in posting at least. I tried putting the touchstone coil on my Nexus back, and I got minimal or no voltage out of the coil when the NFC antenna was in place just as you did. I decided to hold off on opening the phone and soldering until I figure out whether...

    eBay dock?

    I was interested in it too until I realized that it blocks the audio jack on the bottom of the phone. thats a deal breaker for me. Still a good price for a dock that fits though (assuming that it fits). The only dock that I can find that has the audio jack open is the stock samsung one, but...

    Thanks to both mods for fixing the posting problem! Nice job on the soldering, Darren. That's what I was worried about too. Also my posts probably don't make sense in sequence after reading Darren's post, but I did guess correctly! I'll also be trying it this weekend, and I'll post pics too...

    Support Group for those switching from WebOS (palm pre) to Nexus S 4g

    This is confusing... I had this popup with my post this morning and one I just tried now with a link to the ifixit teardown of the Nexus S: "ramk13 Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting." The only thing I can think of that would have...

    Here's the link to the ifixit teardown I tried to post this morning: Nexus S Teardown - iFixit You can zoom in to see the points where the micro USB contacts the board. http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/hGCRQAE26jUPAbYT.medium I figure you can solder to the contacts on the USB port in this...

    Support Group for those switching from WebOS (palm pre) to Nexus S 4g

    I posted the link that KSmithinNy posted along with a link to an iFixit teardown of the Nexus S earlier this morning, but it hasn't shown up yet From reading the EVO how to and looking at the teardown, I'm guessing you can peel the coil from the Pre touchstone back and then stick to the inside...

    I assume the touchstone mod would be something like this: How to mod HTC EVO 4G to work with Palm Touchstone wireless charger The main question is figuring out the solder points on the Nexus. This might help us figure that out: Nexus S Teardown - iFixit Negative could be simple (possibly micro...

    Looking for skin for back of phone

    I ordered a skin from Phantomskinz from their Chromatics line. Waiting for it to show up in the mail. I think was originally made for the TMobile version of the phone, so I don't know that it's going to fit the Sprint version. The skins are well reviewed, but I guess I'll have to wait and find...

    Support Group for those switching from WebOS (palm pre) to Nexus S 4g

    It's eerie how similar my post would have been. My Pre was holding on by a thread (iffy spacebar, broken power button, google maps problems) but I decided that I wasn't going to wait any longer. If HP had even announced that the Pre 3 was coming to Sprint then I may have waited to see, but we...

    Must have Apps for the Nexus-S

    DrPodder was by far the app I used most on my Pre. I was worried when I made the switch, but DoggCatcher has come pretty close to giving me what I need. For me it was totally worth the money. I had to change a bunch of the default settings, but it does the basics: Downloading, resuming...

    I can tell you that the 4G toggle included with Extended Controls doesn't work at the moment.

    Best Car Mount for Nexus S?

    I think the previous poster meant this: Proclip mount with charger It plugs into the cigarette lighter but is mounted to the dash of your car. My car mount is pretty solid right now, it clips into the dash. I have my touchstone attached to it with double sided tape. I don't have any experience...
