I love how you put ROM pure google, you are right, stock as a stock broth!

NO IT IS NOT A DECENT PHONE!!................................









IT IS GREAT! I love it. No 3G doesn't bother me when I am at my house because I have fast wifi but in other areas around town EDGE is sometimes too slow. I love my Nexus wouldn't trade it for anything!

 

[Johnly]

Glad you like, and I agree it is decent compared to the N1. Nothing really upgrading but some stuff is decent. I won't throw my disappointments down here because that isn't fair to you. It is solid.

Yeah I was going to get a Nexus Uno from Google but apparently they are out of stock. That makes me mad. They are too high priced on ebay.

yeah, the hardware you are rocking is better though : ) I would choose a S over an uno.

 

[Johnly]

PS I would love a nexus S!

Check craigslist if you don't mind a lightly used nexus one. I'm seeing pretty good prices there. You might even be able to get one with 3G on AT&T bands.

Ya that is what I saw! they were like $250 - $300! That is a good price. And I am a goo talkerdowner so I bet I can get one for an even better price. Thanks.

They only sell them to people in the developer program, and last I checked (a few months ago) the price was still $529. I don't know if they've dropped the price since the Nexus S was released.

Please post any questions about the Nexus S here. I will try my hardest to answer them. Thanks!

I am using the NoLED but sometimes I notice if I push the 4 menu buttons on the bottom when NoLED has notifications, I get some sort of error regarding "Activity ScreenActivity (in application NoLED) is not responding."

 

[Baconator]

Oh that is strange. Well delete NoLED and download it again. This should work. If not notify me please.

NEW!: Contact Grouping
Go to your g-mail on your computer and go to your contacts. Check the contacts you want in a group and and click on group and then make a new group. If this does not work then download Contact Groups Manager from the market.

 

[Aria807]

Yea I am grouping it or labeling it in google, but on the phone, I can't get it to toggle diff groups unless I go thru a series of steps in the Display setting. I download another contact grouping app to easily toggle between the groups like how you would when you edit in google. My friend recently picked up a Captivate and his android 2.2 allows contact grouping within the contacts. I just thought 2.3 would have this feature stock.

 

[Baconator]

Who knows. Ill have a GOOD answer in a min.

 

[Baconator]

Actually I searched and tried and I was unable to find an answer. Contact Samsung and tell them how to do this. If this does not work please tell me.

 

[Aria807]

You get what I mean rite? Like on my old phone, I could normally view the entire contact list showing all my contacts. Then I could go scroll to the tab over on the contact list and choose between view specific groups, which lists all the groups I have made such as Family, Work, etc..

I just can't seem to do that on the Nexus S. I gotta run thru display settings and disable the main contacts and just check say... Family group to just have family show up. It's very inconvenient

 

[Baconator]

Ya ik I had that on my old phone, on G-mail you can put them in groups but it won't show up on ur phone. Well if it bothers you contact Samsung if Samsung doesn't say anything contact Google. Someone has to have answers.

 

[Aria807]

Well I found a solution which is to download Contact Groups Manager, but pro version costs $. I just figured android would have had this for free because my friend's 2.2 has something of the sort. It just makes mass texting easier because I can txt an entire group.
