Ohh man, i was seriously disappointed in this release. All was good til let CM Updater automatically update the firmware, then all of a sudden my SD card was corrupt.

But wait, i go to "Update from any zip" And my previous installs are there.

4.9.* is corrupt, so i do a nandroid backup and b00m theres HERO... OMFG
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
First, this belongs in Q&A and as such has been reported.

But, to be helpful, you can manually flash the system.img and data.img from your backups to make sure that it restores the correct backup via fastboot

If you copy the files to your computer (system.img, data.img, and boot.img) to where-ever you have fastboot then you can run the commands in the bootloader:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img

and this should be the same as a NANDROID/switchrom restore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garok89:
couple of thing - wrong section

the 4.2.x are stored in /sdcard/cmupdater/ or thereabouts and its unlikely they are all corrupt

its your own fault for not doing a nandroid of a CM (you may have an old one in there if you went to hero after cm and then back again)

if not, start again with 1.6 then CM

CM doesnt screw your sd, improper use does

cm updater could do with the option to do a Bart / Switchrom / Nandroid backup though.

I have clicked apply now many times and forgotten to manually reboot and do a backup first.

If it fails I just curse myself, but it would be a nice feature.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garok89:
the cmupdater can easily have the feature to autonandroid - we have the code for it

only problem is, none of the recovery images support it

the second its supported in cyanogens recovery image (and therefore RAs recovery image as it is based on cyanogens) we will enable the feature

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dhavalppc:
hello everyone,

I tried searching this over the forum, but could not get info about it.

Can i not use the .tsk themes on my phone?

i try to do it. once it loads the color on the taskbar and then it immediately changes the color back to grey or something. and also the wallpaper does not load. i turned off tf3d. Also when i set any picture as wallpaper (not on tf3d) the brightness level itself increases, and picture kinda gets milky.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to connect to my Windows 7 computer over Bluetooth (if only to justify the purchase of the adapter), but honestly, I can't quite figure out how to. It sounds a bit ridiculous to say, but all I can get is a "Paired but not connected". Ideally I'd like to take calls on my computer, but I'll settle for any Bluetooth functionality for the time being. Sorry if this sounds absurdly noobish (it sure does to me), I've just been trying at this on and off for a couple months and it's been bugging me.
[Nexus One General] agentkalaw:
Here's a battle between WiFi browser loading speeds between the three phones. Very interesting result. Can anyone explain why the iphone was significantly faster? Nexus One should have been way faster compared to the iphone on same wifi speeds.

check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMGkhBIqOMg
[Nexus One General] trinode:
are we sure the android browser is loading everything in the same order? (it could have been loading the images further down the page first), also, it seems like the apple had cached the page, I have no sound here, but did they say that all 3 phones had been fuly reset or had their cache's cleared?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Yeah, that site was iPhone optimized! That's why there was such a huge difference in load times... what a scam! Notice you even see the "Engadget for the iPhone" banner pop up on the iPhone's screen...
[Nexus One General] wick12345:
Also notice the guys' ENTIRE post was so SLANTED!!!!!!!!!! He's a complete Apple fan boy. He wanted the Driods to lose. Just ticks me off becuase people will buy that when there is NO way AT&T has a better network and the Iphone is a slower machine.

I so wish this phone was unlocked for AT&T too! gah... my wifes stupid plan and her free minutes!!! I'm switching anyway but it would have been nice to truly have the open system.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
No doubt the iphone had the page cached. I've just tried loading engadget on my iPhone 3GS, clearing the cache first and it took twice as long as what video showed on the iphone. I on Wifi with a 6.5mb connection too.

Engadget is totally biased toward Apple big time, nothing can ever live up to them if it hasnt got a apple logo on it.
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
This begs the question how did a bias reviewer like that get the exclusive review ?

But in head to head non cached race they will be almost the same, but even if the iphone wins (as some browsers generally handle different coded sites better) its doesn't matter as hay nexus one has confirmed Flash ..... my 3gs is looking older and older with every nexus one news story lol
[Nexus One General] jubeh:
Stop being fanboyish and look at facts. The new browser is nice, but Google screwed it up by moving the drawing engine to the skiagl library. It's now running on the same circumstances as the Chrome browser.

Engadget is a pretty punishing site, and, unlike the iPhone's safari, Android's browser won't release a page until most content is loaded (with the iPhone you can start viewing content even as it's loading).

Here's an interesting thing: If you have a Dream, load up Cupcake on it. No, seriously, load Cupcake on it, the do a browser test of Cupcake browser vs Eclair browser.

The new browser is pretty, but it's pretty much crap.

-edit-

I check engadget almost daily, and I had noticed that since I started using the 2.0 browser loading was slower. Oddly enough, most other websites are pretty quick too. The iPhone browser is supperior, and nobody's questioning that. I switched to Opera Mini on my device mostly because of the slow speed of the stock browser.

-edit2-

Honestly, run the test yourselves. Any eclair browser (either using a droid, or a nexus one, or a dream with either and aosp eclair build or cm's newest donut release with the 2.0 browser backported) will load the page at about the same rate (slower on my g1 over wifi which, according to speedtest.net, is running at 14.28 Mbps down, plenty fast).

Actually, I'll make a video of two android emulator devices, one with 2.0.1, and another with 1.5 and I'll load engadget on both.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
plus the smoothness of the scroll. The iphone scrolls at snail speed, moving down screen length, of course its going to look smooth. Android scroll speed is 5 times faster, obviously it's going to look less smooth because of the refresh rate.

I don't see them commenting about that
[Nexus One General] jubeh:
Ok, here we go.

Android 1.1 browser (unchanged up to donut except for a few ui changes, but rendering engine is the same) vs Android 2.0.1 browser (with libskiagl drawing engine).

[Nexus One General] Carloswithac:
Interesting stuff, Jubeh!
[Nexus One General] newjaruz:
Yes, Engadget is quite a bit slanted in apples favor. That entire review which contained that video was slanted. They failed to mention call quality in that review... did not even bring up the noise cancelling mike. Used sarcastic remarks all over the place. In this video he was like ohhh.. "If I were an owner of this phone I would be in tears"

I bet when I run this test myself the nexus one will probably win out most times but it all depends on the site. Gizmodo stated that the Nexus outperformed both the 3gs and droid most times in multiple test. Unlike Engadget.. they saw the result they wanted on their first try and didn't try it elsewhere.
[Nexus One General] liamhere:
i love my iphone

......now ducks under a table :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
I love my iPhone too but some ppl who have them think they are flawless :( which is untrue there are may downsides to the iphone which this particular review glossed over when comparing the too, things like :-

- WiFi 'n' Connectivity

- Removable battery (when the iphones battery dies like they do its a mess to replace the battery not to mention it voids the warrantee)

- Apples Grip on AppStore

- How apple restricts JB/Rooting is immense ( reducing your control over iphones)

- Battery Nexus Has a bigger battery and better life

Im not saying the nexus is perfect either :-

- Browser does seem slower on nexus (time will tell) Acid3 test them :-|

- UI of the nexus still looks kinda dated

- Some reported lag on home screens

So I understand that there are areas where the N1 falls behind the iPhone but on other, some more practical areas the iPhone falls behind.

Also did they say there device was On 2.1 ?? it could have been on 2.0.1 and i dint see any 2.1 specific features
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
how is 1.1 better than 2.0.1, how is that even possible? :confused:

Why would they let it come to that? :confused:

They better fix that!!!!:mad:
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Anyone know if flash 10 works on the Nexus??
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Whats wrong with liking your own phone?

Now if you were to say that the iPhone was better than the Nexus One in a Nexus One forum, with android fans, then you might need to hide under a table. BUT EVEN THAT WONT SAVE YOU!!!!

lolz
[Nexus One General] trinode:
Err, is *2.1* slower?
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:

[Nexus One General] dwang:
Just got my nexus 1 and tried the engadget browser test. On my n1, it loaded the site just as fast as the iphone 3gs. And, after the page was cached, the n1 loaded the site faster than the 3gs.

And scrolling is very smooth, significantly better than the mt3g.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Here is a video from REAL Nexus One users comparing the browser speeds.

The N1 is just as fast if not faster than the iPhone.

Don't know why Engadget would make it seem Android is dyingly slow!!

Hi all,

as the distribution for this phone is currently limited to those 4 countries, what are the options of buying one there (an unlocked one) and then using it in a regular Network outside?

What limitations do i need to consider?

What risks am i taking?

I believe switzerland runs a regular GSM network,nothing special.

regards
[Nexus One General] sandresimon:
Living in France, I am also considering buying it in the UK.

As far as I remember, the French and UK 3G bands are similar, and I could pickup some 3G signal with my French HD while in the UK. I guess it should work the other way around
[Nexus One General] mirox3m:

[Nexus One General] MoxFulder_CH:
Waiting for it from Switzerland :mad:
[Nexus One General] sandresimon:
It is expected to hit France in the first quarter of 2010 on SFR...

If you want it now, you'd better find a friend in the UK who will order it for you and ship it. In the UK, it retails at around 450€ inc VAT.
[Nexus One General] henrylim:
Nothing special if you are using GSM SIM. However, google is controlling the sale, so the location to ship the phone to must be within its restricted country list. If you know of an escrow service in Switzerland which charges you for a shipment address in US, you can bypass that restriction.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cyber weesje:
Hi mightyrom thats a cdma rom mod can edit poll
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
I vote: Mods close this thread

The poll is not per ROM series but by chefs name, and considering most chefs create a number of different ROMs varying in build number and Sense releases, this is impossible to quantify. and as always and has been stated many many many times each person prefers a different ROM for different reasons.

It is not in the spirit of the forum to create a thread like this and I actually believe it to be not a productive thing to do, as well as a waste of server space.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CarpeNoctem:
:confused: I don't get it :confused:

What is the purpose of such poll... everyone has different needs, it just mesure the popularity as perfectly noted and not how good are the ROMs.

My respect to ALL cooks who spend time and energy to try to do the best. And it you really want to compare, benchmarks seem to be a more objective way to do it like it was done for the Topaz or some other phones but of course you need more time to do so.

I know it's Been out for less than a day, and there's not much improvement to be made with performance buts it's been rooted and we all like a wish list lol,

so what mods do we all whant off the bat with the Nexus One ??

My list :-

MultiTouch browser (and gallery if possible)

Obex file transfer

busybox

Apps2SD

.flac Playback

Any others ??
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Google is supposedly going to put out Apps2SD themselves... so if I were a dev, I wouldn't even bother. Plus there's loads of internal (faster) storage on this phone anyway. Hopefully Loccy will be able to add MT to the browser like he did for the G1 and MT3G.
[Nexus One General] finisterre:
Multi-touch keyboard?
[Nexus One General] mattyboy247:
They said they are going to do Apps2SD, but the question is: How long will it take them to complete that and release it to the waiting public?

Personally, I can care either way. I don't think there is a chance that I will come close to filling up 512MB of apps anytime soon, but still would be nice to have that option.
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
I thins later rather than sooner . . . simply as they stated there are huge copyright laws they have to comply with and putting an app onto a readable SD card is basically copying the program . . . maybe they should use a unique device id so that that app will only work on that phone ? (ovb whenever u downloaded it it would reset this so u still have your apps on a new phone)

But anyway its simple for a moder to add app2sd even if its just until google offers the same.

But like in privious posts u will have to have A LOT of apps to fill the 512mb of flash :-D

Just a multitouch. Remeber, we are not using MT3G or G1. Those of you that used Rogers Magic and Telus Hero know what I am talking about. We don't need Apps2SD. It slows down even with the fastest uSD cards.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Does anyone know if there is a registry edit, or anything to move the alarm, alerts, etc from its default location of the "\windows" directory and move it to the SD card as we have for Ringtones, Pictures, Videos, and My Documents? If not move the default location, point to an additional location?

I was searching the registry as best as I could but didnt find anything that points to this location, and I was wondering if I was missing it, or if there was a way to move it. It would save quite a bit of space not having to add tones to a limited amount of phone space that we have already.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
bump anyone? been doing searches but cant find anything about it here or google. just about what format it has to be in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
This is the location they use if you download and install sound packs from Microsoft:

My Device \ Application data \ Sounds

It is not reliable to put ringtones and alert sounds on memory card - if the phone is in Disk Drive mode attached to the computer, the card is not accessible to the phone, so if you get a phone call during that time your phone won't be able to use your custom ringtone and it resets to using the default ringtone and you'll need to reconfigure to your choice afterwards.

But if you insist on placing them on storage card, you can place ringtones here: My Device \ Storage card \ My documents \ My ringtones

and alert sounds here: My Device \ Storage card (this also works for ringtones)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Thanx Mesquire, I am not overly worried about it defaulting back, cause it doesnt. The HTC for ring tones also looks on the memory card. I dont use disk mode so no worries there. I use to have my ringtones in the directory \storage card But I also didnt like it was messy, so I tried something that works. U can add your ringtones to \my device\storage card\my ringtones and it will pick it up and add it to the list of ringtones. You can also do this with" My Music, My Videos, and I think My Pictures, not sure of the last since all mine sit in the dcim folder.

But I will try and see if I move all the alerts to the main directory of the storage card if it will work, if it does, then it will do for now.

I just checked My Device \ Application data \ Sounds and there seems nothing there probably normal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Yes, it is normal. My Device\Application data\Sounds is an empty folder until you start to populate it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Is there a setting to change the alarm and alert and rings location from the windows folder? Or putting them into the main sd card directory is fine? I see that Alert, Alarm, and Ring are either .wav or .wma files, would it be safe to assume that if I cut all these files and put them into the main directory of the sd card windows will see them? I know you might think I'm nuts, but there is already limited space on the phone as it is, by adding mp3's or ringtones or other media files it would in essence use up what little space is there. I already only have 171mb of space on the phone, and by computer standards I know the more files a system has to wade thru the slower it becomes.

Hey guys,

I need help about my htc diamond, its had SUN Y 1.0 WM 6.1 - Manila 2.5.1921 by Kisja. So I just wanted to update my rom to SUN Y 1.2 WM 6.1 - Manila 2.5.1921 by Kisja.

So I downloaded the file from Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package and installed it but it gave me a error and shut down my HTC Diamond.

Tried to switch/turn it on but it wont turn on. I just did soft or hard reset for many time but wont turn on. Also I took out the battery, wait and put the battery back on. Its still same.

If anyone know how to fix this problem, I will appreciate your help and need to fix my phone asap for my business.
