Just got this phone. Everything is so overwhelming. Anyone have any links where I can learn how to do all this customization stuff, or at least have any tips/tricks I more than likely don't know about.

My Nexus S has locked up twice in the past week, and today the screen wouldn't turn on. Had to pop the battery out each time to reboot the phone.

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm running Launcher Pro ontop of standard Android.

It's completely dependant on your usage. Every android phone i've used has lasted me a day.

My GF's iPhone 4S won't last a day, while I can get through 36 hrs with light usage.

Here's an example of my phone at it's longest uptime. It's an SGS2 but it'll give you an idea. I average around 20hours usually.

looks pretty normal for a power user
I average around the 26-27hr range
You guys have deep idle/sleep abilities on SGS2 kernels too right?

Yeah, my phone spends the majority of its time in deep sleep lol
But then again I very rarely go past 25% battery

Just got my nexus s off a another member on rs a few days ago and im loving it.

Just a few things though,
Did some searching but did anyone else ever have trouble with the pc detecting the phone? Im on build 2.3.6

Update:
Fixed!!
Needed a new usb-micro usb connector.
Phone is now rooted and flashed to CM7..Woot!
