Sticking with the N1

As message after message has stated ... I stick with the N1 because of its features and the fact that newer models are not as feature-packed. But as other have stated, it just looks and feels right, and has done so since the day I first saw a photo. I had an O2 XDA II for many years and the jump from that 'smartphone' to the N1 was huge.

Best of all, it is still a Google testbed and updates keep coming ..... bring 'em on!
[Nexus One General] dvigue:
thank you all for the great replies. im trying to decide between the inspire or the N1.

how would te displays compare between those two phones?
[Nexus One General] dvigue:
this phone was dated 12/10 i guess..so will this phone Not have the digitizer issues? also, which is better the SLCD or the AMOLED screens on the n1?
[Nexus One General] dcormier:
Because it's the best

I stay with my N1 because it's still the best. A Nexus (or other AOSP-supported phone) with pure Android, no carrier "enhancements", a directional control on the face of the device, multicolor notification LED (and I do use it; I have one color for missed calls and another for texts), user-replaceable memory (microSD card), a flat screen (the way I keep my phone in my pocket makes the curved screen on the Nexus S uncomfortable).

That said, I will upgrade to the next Nexus device if it has a front-facing camera, microSD card, significant boost in processor power and internal memory (something I struggle with on the N1, even though I move all the apps I can to SD) and ideally a directional control. A better speakerphone would also be nice.
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
If you haven't use AMOLED dispaly before stick with SLCD because you will never be able to even look at them when you will see deep black and vibrant colors of AMOLED. I had only lcds before but since I've got N1 I consider only AMOLED Android device as a potential upgrade;) Oh and because of blacks GB turn off animation looks better on AMOLED:P

If you don't care as much as I do you can grab either, both will be great;)
[Nexus One General] NexuSix:
That is correct the new Nexus Ones do not have any digitizer issues a least if you stick with the stock Gingerbread that you get OTA.

I am completely happy with the Nexus One screen, not sure which is better since I have only owned Nexus Ones.

Again I am only talking about brand new Nexus Ones that you order from Brightstar (Android Phone Developer Supplier), requires an Android Developer account.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
the nexus AMOLED is poor viewing in direct sunlight. but other than that, the OLED colors are just superb, black colors just look deep wet, nothing like any LCD screen will be able to produce. so its a tough call cause SLCD has advantages as well, it will be slightly more power efficient overall, etc.

i almost buy the inspire every day, then i change my mind. hard decision to leave my n1 for the inspire, only because there are not many other options for ATT users and android. the inspire has next generation CPU and GPU, RAM, etc.
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
I just got two N1's recently (1st got fried by a bad SD card so got a 2nd). I really like the light-up trackball for notifications, although it's kind of annoying when I wipe the phone screen off on my shirt. Most of all, I like the size. I don't really like the size and bulk of 4" phones, and I think the 4.3" phones are gargantuan. The 3.7" N1 is just right. The solidity and weight of the metal body makes it feel expensive, although not as comfortable in the pants pocket compared to the plastic Incredible.

I completely disagree with the AMOLED vs SLCD. To me, the SLCD is FAR better looking. It's crisper, sharper, smoother and color is far more accurate. The black levels of the SLCD are excellent, far better than a regular LCD. Not as good as the AMOLED, but if there's anything else on the screen, I can't hardly tell. To me, the AMOLED looks significantly more grainy. The pentile matrix makes it look like there's a lot of gap between the pixels, what video guys call "screen door effect". It's grainy like looking through a tiny screen door. The colors are very saturated, but overly so to look almost unnatural. Text is also far less sharp than the SLCD. Surprisingly, viewing angles are also better with the SLCD. The SLCD colors still look almost perfect at extreme angles while the AMOLED gets kind of a greenish hue. IMO, the only thing AMOLED has over SLCD is the black levels, and that's good enough on the SLCD that I don't even consider that as a factor. Both of my N1s are AMOLED, and I'd gladly trade for one with the SLCD. Not to mention burn-in is an issue with AMOLED. One of my N1s has the Froyo status bar burned in at the top. Now that Gingerbread has a black status bar, I guess it'll eventually even out!
[Nexus One General] Rayan:
I still love my Nexus One because:

1- Plenty of Roms, specially the Miui variants which I simply can't stop using. I really recommend Formel's Miui Roms. I have more than 200 installed apps onto sd with more than 120 mb of internal memory free.

2- Notification trackball with lots of colors

3- Build quality

I'm thinking of getting the Motorola Atrix but will keep the N1 for sure!

Regards!

Hey all, I am looking to buy a new phone and am really considering the nexus one for many reasons, but things that draw me off the device are the list of complaints:http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=65af0913895bfb06&hl=en

Do any of you guys face these issues? Im really tempted to buy this soon but don't want a $250 p.o.s. that ends up breaking on me when the money could be used to get a g2.
[Nexus One General] vsc:
Really!!!? I'm working on a project now using my 2009 N1, where the dev phones got routed wrong and I still don't have them. When you say no digitizer issues, do you mean multi-touch resolved or doesn't require a reset once the phone gets hot?

My answer to this thread.... Because the LG G2X appears to have too many issues. And perhaps even the G2X doesn't really offer much more than the N1 unless you are into games (e.g. need the graphics engine).

I played with the LG 2X at CES in 1/2011 and while I didn't spend that much time with the phone, I don't remember problems with the backlight washing out the LCD. That said my boss is pushing me to design the Tegra 2 into a new project. Given the (lack of) support I would rather stick with another supplier. But the decision isn't final.
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
I keep my N1 because it's still a really great phone! It's fast, got a great display, great updates (greater ROMs). It basically got everything you need PLUS a trackball.

It really bothers me that no new phone got a trackball :P

Indeed. Happens from time to time but isn't THAT annoying since it's gone when you lock-unlock the display
[Nexus One General] Matt1408:
Basically there is nothing that merits a 600 dollar purchase for me yet.

I played around with the Nexus S and enjoyed it. It's promise of being a fully supported Google phone is the main driving goal behind the whole "Nexus" line. Unfortuantely "upgrading" to a Nexus S would only give me a bigger screen, front facing camera, a fixed touch screen, and NFC.

However, with this next gen wireless technology I think it would be best to wait for the Nexus "2" if you will. A vanilla Android phone with direct updates from Google. Dual core, LTE/HSPA+, Android 3.x, etc...

But I'm also tempted to get the HTC Sensation, looks great.
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
Of the problems listed in that link, both of my N1s have 2 of 4 of those problems.

They both get dust in the screen simply from just being put in my pocket for 20-minutes, as if there is some kind of vacuum sucking in dust from somewhere. They also both have the multitouch problem even with stock Gingerbread.

The dust issue may have been fixed on newer N1s. I didn't know the multitouch issue was ever fixed as I thought it was a design problem with the company that manufactured the digitizer for N1s and Desires (Synaptics I think).
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
i havent left my phone yet cuz i made an investment and i plan to get my moneys worth. until i cant do EVERYTHING on my phone i will think about moving on but for now 1ghz seems to be able to do everything, the only thing that keeps me banging my head is the multi touch in gaming but aside from that everything is cool.. also there is not one phone out there that cant do a everything and have alot of juice left over... and the reason for that is the lack of innovation in batteries...
[Nexus One General] jsapp:
When I got my nexus, it was the best out. And until the dual core phones, there wasn't really anything other phones could offer over the N1. Internal memory was it, which wasn't an issue with apps2sd.
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:

Hi,

I've read the posts http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741012 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731794 but I can't find any answers about this "issue".

My handset volume is too lower, and I have to reboot my SGS once time per day.

Hey all,

I'm using a rooted TB running BAMF 1.3.2, and my GPS location is anywhere from 5 blocks off to like half a mile off, usually. This is the case whether I'm using Google Location Services, Verizon GPS Services, or Standalone GPS.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
Try the new radio and latest Rom version. Or use the app gps status to reset your gps.

GPS way offArrow

My GPS jumps around based on what ROM I have installed. Right now I am using the Twisted Sense 1.51 and it's perfect.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
The app called gps status, go outside and run it for a bit. Look at how many satilites you hook up to. Clear the caches in google maps and it should lock in your position.
[Thunderbolt General] thailmore:
GPS doesn't work...

Yeah.... so... GPS was working fine the other day. Location would jump around on the weather widget, but would work just fine using Google Maps or Glympse.... Now I get nothing. No satellites, and it's like it's not even looking. GPS Status, GPS Essentials and a couple others, and nothing at all. If i turn off verizon location and google location, all the apps act like i don't have any location service at all...

Still using stock rom, all I did was root, and GPS was working fine until yesterday.

Any ideas?

Edit: noob mistake. Shelled out the 4 bucks for root explorer, modified gps.config (mounted as ro with the free aps), rebooted and works just fine. Also bought the xda app cuz you guys have helped me with my tmo dash, vz touch pro, and vz imagio. Happy flashing everyone!
[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
Hey again,

So, still no luck with the GPS. Upgraded to BAFM 1.6.3. Upgraded radio to 1.13.605.7 (1.16.00.0402w_1 CMDA) -- first one in The Obligatory Thunderbolt Radio Thread.

Still: my position is like 10 blocks off, and if I don't have Google Location Service turned on, it doesn't find my position at all, just as always.

Is there ANY help for my poor GPS?

Hi,

Is there an app or posibility to backup the system settings like titanium backup for apps and their data...

Would be really nice because this is the only thing I have to do manually after flashing a new rom!

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Yes there is. Titanium backup ;) can
[LG Optimus 2x] Fendria:
Okay, and how to do this? Is it save all system data? There all the data from the system apps will be backuped but are there these settings included?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes, it can save everything

It's why everyone loves it.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
But I wouldn't recommend saving system settings in TB (especially those in RED color) and restoring them to your ROM. It may corrupt your ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fendria:
So is there a description which setting are saved in which system app? Wifi access points I already found and its green... So I need the settings for desktop icons, display timeout and brightness, ringtone, notification tone, ringtone specified for contact, allowing non-market apps.

Thats everything I changed so far...
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
RED = Highly recommended not to backup/restore

Green = Mostly safe to backup/restore

Most of what u describe I would input manually. I just batch restore USERS APPS+data only. System settings I don't even touch it.

At least that's my opinion. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Fendria:
yeah works fine thanks
[Xperia Play General] McGinty13:
Hi there, I got this phone a couple weeks back and am loving it, however, I just rooted my phone, and changed the boot animation, messed around with a couple of other settings, and went to try and get them back to normal, and came to the slow realisation that I should have backed stuff up beforehand...

Now, I wondered if you guys could tell me how to get this phone back to how it came out of the box (unrooted, stock bootscreen, no apps installed etc.)

I rooted it without unlocking the bootloader using the "Gingerbreak" apk.

I'm pretty new to android, so please, please use small words? :p

Thanks :)

EDIT: I used "Root Tools" to change the boot animation

Otherwise. Above should do it.

And I tried factory reset, didnt give me back programs, and SEUS was no use at all, just told me I had the latest software and to go away :/

I believe SEUS have the option to reinstall.

Anyways. Flashtool should work on locked device. Only perhaps possible issue reported is with Hongkong models.

In short, most Apps downloaded from either Amazon Market or Android Market won't stay on my home screens, but still show in my app screens. I am running a rooted stock 2.2 kernel.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue, and if there was a way to fix it without having to restore my phone.
[Captivate General] 4walls:
Problems with Apps staying on Home Screens

I have had the same problems with 2.2 but only with apps that are moved to the SD card. Whenever I reboot the phone, the apps on the SD card are gone from my home screen.
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
restore your app back to your phone memory from external sd so it will not disappear once rebooting your phone that's one downside of stock froyo rom.
[Captivate General] simbill:
happens to me occasionally with apps stored on internal mem. i dont use sd for apps... angrybirds is the biggest culprit
[Captivate General] krakerx:
All my apps are on phone mem, and yeah, main prob is angry birds. Ha, nice to know i'm not the only one with this issue.
[Captivate General] krakerx:
Wow good call, upon further investigation, all my problemed apps were put to the sd card by default... thanks for your help!
[Captivate General] pc103:
Same here on stock 2.2. I tried Fast Reboot market app for relaunching TouchWiz, also master cleared data. No joy. Samsung never answered my support email, but what worked was Go Launcher EX, a great alternative to TW.

Strangest thing though... after clearing Market app's data and rebooting to resynch the My Apps section of Market I saw my sim card glitch (slashed circle, no bars) and after reseating/rebooting I was left with phone plus unusable external SD. One new sim, new Cappy (my 4th) and new SD card later, needless to say Apps2SD nevermore!
[Captivate General] simbill:
I think angrybirds defualts to the SD card. Hence angrybirds, and other SD apps dissapearing like the op stated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
Hey Guys,

I noticed that several parts of my Touchscreen aren't working from time to time. I guess it is a software issue, because the areas not accepting any touch input are changing from time to time after reboots, screen orientation changes or turning the backlight on and off again. The issue is nonexistent when freshly rebooted and seems to build up when the device is powered on and used.

Anyone else having the same issues?

Edit:

Here are some examples (dead areas are obviously the blank ones):

[Eee Pad Transformer General] pokey9000:
Yep, I have a stripe about 1" from the bottom edge that's consistently unresponsive. I'm going to hold out until the OTA gets fixed to see if it is maybe a calibration / driver issue.

Edit: Got Asus to give me an RMA, but they expect me to pay shipping on something broken out of the box? F that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Hey pokey, I've got the exact same issue, easily noticeable using the keyboard in landscape, a whole row of keys in unresponsive (a little less than 1" wide). I noted, however, that as soon as I just as much as touch the frame of the TF with my finger, they become responsive (typing while touching the frame, that is). If I leave my TF on the table, not touching the frame, and trying to type on this row, nothing is detected.

So it's highly unlikely that this is a software problem. I'm thinking of RMAing this thing, though I hesitate between ASUS RMA or store RMA (in both cases I'd have to pay for shipping, bought on internet). What did you end up doing?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reverence12389:
Sounds like a similar grounding issue that plagued the Droid Incredible where it wasn't responsive if you laid it down flat on a surface and tried to interact with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
I have the issue, but it goes away if I'm holding it. So yeah, sounds like that problem with the Incredible. I'm probably going to return mine to Walmart and order another one, hoping that it's better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Is that what happened with your Incredible? Rma was the only solution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Yes, I see those same jagged lines when I try to draw slanted (parallel) lines using a paint app. Doesn't matter if I draw slow or fast, the results look similar.

I've tried to turn off the screen and on, but that doesn't seem to help; neither does grounding my fingers to the frame.

The location of this unresponsive section of screen is about an inch above the bottom of the 1280x800 screen from across left to right just where microSD slot is on the right side.

It seems to also effect the on-screen keypad (the base of the letter row below the numbers) as well as the 4th honeycomb on-screen (menu) button when apps as running and the device is in portrait mode with the camera on the right.

I usually have to hit the key/button again or more firmly to have it register.

I'm going to experiment a bit more to see if I can figure this out, otherwise, I'm going to be returning the device as "defective".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
Still waiting for mine to return from RMA, it says 'waiting for spare parts' for 10 days already :(

I haven't even owned the device for 10 days... :p You've been waiting an eternity in comparison... :(

It seems it to me that I have been using it for a very long time with all the exploration I've done on with it, but it is only 7 days! :D

Have an android phone? that can be CM7 modded? to HC?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
I'm going to use two paint apps (Big Fat Canvas and Scribbler) to help determine what hardware problem exists with my screen and where that unresponsive section really is.

I will attach saved screens (when I am allowed to post links) using those paint apps when drawing, namely with:

Big Fat Canvas

- slanted lines drawn smoothly with my finger tip (moving slow and steady)

- arcs this time (as above)

Scribbler

- slanted lines drawn smoothly with my finger tip (moving slow and steady)

- backslanted lines (as above)

(p.s. for actual screenshots see the images I posted elsewhere using the following weblink)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Getting closer to the actual location of unresponsiveness...

Actually, another tool at my disposal, will be the "Yet Another MultiTouch Tester" app available from the Market.

It shows the longitude (x) and latitude (y) of the touchpoint, and if I slowly drag my fingertip down, micro advancing the number from y=470 to 480, I do note that at y=480, the count JUMPS to y=518 with no in-between! :mad:

So this is the spot the my screen is unresponsive and actually sends the wrong info to the screen matrix.

I wish this was software related, but I doubt it. It may have to do with the hardware underneath the screen at that point or "grounding or not" thereto...

My ASUS TF101-B1 was manufactured in April 2011 (per the serial number), but bought a week ago.

Anyone able to reproduce this behaviour? (it's perpendicular to the microSD slot across the whole device from right to left)

Sorry for thinking out loud... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Same problem, different location. Downloaded yamtt too, and for me, IF I leave the tablet untouched on a table and touch only the touchscreen, it loses track of my finger between y=605 and y=672, approximately. All width of the tablet (ie regardless of x) . As soon as I touch the frame with a finger, it can register my touches in the twilight zone. Definitely a hardware-grounding issue, will have to RMA, though I'm in no hurry, the tablet is still very usable and plain amazing...
