Move up and down using volume button..select using search button..

or if you want more easy...flash Touch Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.8.2


7.If my nexus have to pull battery or battery die..How I going to power on it???

All you have to do is plug in the phone to an AC charger, and the phone should come on.

Sometimes, however, it will show the boot logo, then go to a screen showing you your battery percentage, and not actually boot. No problem. Just pull the battery and unplug. Replace the battery, and while holding the "x" button on your keyboard, plug the phone back in .

If not working..

plug you nexus to USB cable..then restart your pc/laptop without unplugged your nexus..it will power on automatically...




Or if not working...refer to this thread.

Yes..even right now you have gnex and then your nexus s power button broken..

You can still use you nexus s..which is right now warranty of your nexus s already expired and if you want to sell. Who want to buy phone with single core and broken power button with high price?:rolleyes:

My uncle gave me his broken iPhone 3g
The power button and home button didn't work on that but I already jail broke it before so it was all good
It took forever to find a button remaping app on cydia
I ended up having vol up then vol down as home and the reverse as screen off screen on

my nexus is I9020T bought in Perth...I studying in Indonesia..samsung center do not have spare part for I9020T because official Nexus S in Southern Asia is I9023...


And I already try googling about the prices..will cost around 80-100USD to fix it..


They only solution is if you still have warranty..
