Not a fan of the theming of SuperAOSP tho.
i prefer my CM7 rom..but if u say SuperAOSP has killer battery...then i want to know what is your normal usage on ur phone like..

It probably wouldnt come close to my NexusOne battery life on a CustomRom

Ghostrider and I got roughly 30-40hrs with our regular usage

btw..whats a good case for this phone

What do you guys use that increases your battery life by so much?

I am using CM7 with Juice Defender Ultimate, and I can get 13 HRS MAX. and thats with practically most connections shut off..

I am on SGS Captivate.

for better battery life, grab yourself a kernel with undervolting capabilities like Netarchy Nexus S 1.3.7.

I undervolted mine by about -25mV throughout all clock speeds and I'm currently at 60% for 12h 42m with music playing on the commute to work, internet over 3G, email syncing once an hour, and some games and calls.

Keep that battery properly calibrated and with the right kernel, you can push high hours pretty easily.

Had an interesting issue pop up on my phone yesterday and want to share the solution here.

Problem: My Rogers NS was stuck on EDGE, no matter what APN I picked or settings I changed. I even flashed a different radio baseband to test.

Cause: The Cell tower in my area went offline and there was no signal. When my phone reconnected it would not give me a 3G connection. (On the XDA forum people mentioned if you change the data setting to only use 2G, it will also cause this problem.)

Solution: Found the Solution on the XDA forum. On the dialer hit *#*#4636#*#*. Then hit phone info and then menu. In there click select band and pick USA. After doing this my NS was able to connect to the 3G network and all was good.

Anyone know if I can pick up a gel case for the Nexus S at crystal mall? Using the full body armour by Zagg right now, but would love to invest in a good case.

I have a TPU case from Amazon waiting at Point Roberts, $5 and it got great reviews and is slim. I'll post pics when it arrives.

I also got the BestSkinsEver skin today and applied it - not liking it at all yet willing to give it a day or 2 to see if it improves like it says it will. Super hard to get on with no bubbles and dirt, hoping as it dries out some of the smaller imperfections will go away - if not its a waste of $10.

UPDATE: Wow, a night makes a huge difference. The BestSkinsEver skin looks great now, the only imperfections are cause I had trouble applying it and had to remove it and try again. I think if I had applied it properly the fist time it would be perfect right now. It covers the entire phone, minus the buttons, so no bulky case required! Thus I may have a TPU case for sale soon!

I'm looking to use my Fido dollars toward buying this phone, does anyone know if it'll work on Chatr's network? The phone is factory unlocked from Fido right?

Chatr is using Roger's network? If so, I think you should be fine.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
