I actually was thinking the other day this would be great for the N1, I had not seen the LePhone before though.

It is feasible if the dock connector is capable or passing signal as well as power. I would use it upon occasion for certain. I can make due with the on screen keyboard but I definitely would like to have a HW one as well. With something like this you get the best of both worlds. Thin and light most of the time and a keyboard for when you need to do more typing than usual.

Of course if Android would just support HID I would be just as happy and carry a foldable BT keyboard around.
[Nexus One Accessories] Eclair~:
I have no idea what you do with your phone, but I text every day (alot

), and do other stuff - on my g1. And the keyboard does not look no where near "nasty" as you've sad, and I have had this for quite a while. It sounds as if you've destroyed the thing..
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
I've had the g1 since day one it was announced. Pre-ordered and all. I've texted a lot. I was referring to moments like you would get done eating like some BBQ wings and then go text right after. Yes you would wipe or clean your hands but the sauce would still remain. I abused my g1 LOL.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrooklynAvi:
Wipe your hands before you use your phone. Seriously, I don't understand how on earth you ate wings and didn't wipe your hands before texting. I send 3k to 4k texts a month as well as a ton of email and I just sold my G1 for a nice price.

Yes, I would definitely be interested in something like this even if I had to attach it every time I needed it. There are times that I need to type a lot (taking notes, for example) and a HW keyboard is the way to go.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
I was using wings as an example. LOL my eating habits are perfectly fine. Thanks for asking. :)

Apple Wireless Keyboard with the N1

Anyone used an Apple Wireless Keyboard with the N1 successfully?

Phil
[Nexus One Accessories] anthro:
I'd definitely buy a stowaway keyboard for my N1
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
I could be persuaded to use this instead?

Whats the on-screen keyboard like? I know the screen is HUGE so i'm guessing the on-screen is fairly big? I need to be able to type fairly fast for taking notes in meetings etc and this is why I normaly buy phones with keyboards.

Thanks!!!

(please be honest, i'm about to spend £400 on this and I don't want that to be a waste of money)
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
The onscreen keyboard is good, but don't expect magic - if you feel you need a hardware keyboard then you will most likely be disappointed with what the HD2 offers.

In all fairness I never owned a WM phone with a full hardware keyboard, but I still make mistakes on the HD2's virtual keyboard same as I did with the virtual keyboard on my previous phone - so my conclusion is that it's not perfect.

Personally, I find FingerKeyboard better than HTC's anyway, I use that most of the time. Swype is good as well for accuracy but I find typing stuff is a bit slow because you're having to swipe your finger across a huge screen without lifting off to enter words.
[HD2 General] drewX2:
I normally prefer hardware keyboards, however I have found that the HD2's screen is fairly large enough to work with. Also, use XT9 and go at it like you don't care if you misspell words, generally it will auto-correct you fairly well.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I personally prefer touchscreen keyboards rather than hardware keybaords, I find hardware keyboards a bit fidly to use.

The HD2 keyboard is pretty good, I think it's as good as the one on iphone, which I have just come from. The keyboard automatically corrects the majority of your mistakes, but you will still make the odd one. However, I also make the odd mistake using any keyboard, such as my laptop. In fact I probably make more errors typing on a PC/laptop keyboard as there is no auto correct function.
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
there's a thread about this on here somewhere with a lot of people complaining about the keyboard. it seems you either love it or really hate it. I would suggest going in a shop and ask to try it before you buy it. me personally I think its fine but don't take mine or anyone else's word for it, like I said a lot of people hate it, WITH A PASSION!
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
I owned a touch pro 2, which has the best hardware keyboard out there, and sure i was afraid i'll lose that sweat keyboard, but in the end i can say that i'm happy with the hd2's keyboard. Sure, i'm not as fast as i used to be on my tp2 but still...

I think you will be fine.
[HD2 General] kr00t0n:
I've always had a HW keyboard since 2005, but after a few weeks practice with Swype, I'm very fast and more than happy given it means my phone is much thinner.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
thanks for all input guys, very much appreciated!:)
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Some touchscreen keyboards are ok, some are usable and some are good. Don't think that because a touchscreen keyboard on X device is good, therefore the HD2's will be good too. It isn't. It's a pig of a keyboard. Typing on it is one of the most frustrating tasks known to man. Sure it's a great device but you're asking specifically about typing on it.....and typing on it is horrendous. YMMV.
[HD2 General] eskasi:
I can Swype faster than a HW keyboard
[HD2 General] sunking101:
A lot of people prefer to type rather than sliding their fingers around in a whole new style. It shouldn't be necessary that we have to install new keyboards and get used to whole new styles of inputting text, just because the supplied keyboard isn't up to scratch. Personally I don't want to learn how to 'swype'.
[HD2 General] Mj23foreva:
Swype is the best solution for 1 handed typing. I dont see how its better than the regular keyboard unless you prefer to use 1 hand to type all the time.
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Jeez, lighten up - there's nothing to learn, you just swipe your finger on the letters and that's it. If I wanted to type 'jerk' I would put my finger on J, drag to E, then drag to R and finally drag to K and that's it.

Hardly involves a learning curve... plus, that's just one option. If you don't like HTC's keyboard try another normal QWERTY keyboard, nobody's forcing you to try one of these newfangled keyboards. FingerKeyboard is a standard one and works better than HTC's IMO.
[HD2 General] H2D2:
I use the standard HTC keyboard. I grip the device with my palms and type using my thumbs. My hands are freaking huge.

I can get approx 30wpm.

The auto-correct feature is simply amazing :)
[HD2 General] stickydonkey:
I just came from a TYTNII with Hardware keyboard and we VERY worried about getting the HD2 without a keyboard as i type e-mail and SMS from my phone regularly for work purposes. So my choices were the HD2 or Touch Pro 2... The HD2 just had WAY too many PROS compared to the Touch Pro 2, so i took the plunge and got the HD2 and resolved myself to if i can't type well enough, then i'll just put up with the frustration or wait till i get back to the office to reply. Well, i was pleasantly surprised and can type fairly fast, probably SLIGHTLY slower than the hardware keyboard. I also have FAT fingers. I think the capacitive screen and multi-touch work in its favor to make typing a bit better on this phone than a normal (old type) touch screen. So, all in all, VERY happy with the HD2 without hardware keyboard. Oh, and i type in PORTRAIT mode, not Landscape!!! If i could marry my HD2, i would! :D
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Hmm, I think that's in legal in Kentucky actually. :D
[HD2 General] stickydonkey:
Well, in my country, our president just married his 5th wife with another on the way. He now has 18 children (of his own)! There should be no problems marrying my HD2... :D
[HD2 General] creed:
He he nice! I love my HD2 too. I came from a Kaiser as well and my reservation was losing the superb hardware keyboard.

I found the HD2's standard keyboard flawed. The problem isn't the sensitivity as such but the fact that the keys are too small and close together. With an improved design it could be great.

BUT I found my solution, SWYPE! What a god send! I'm actually significantly faster with Swype than I was with my old Kaiser hardware keyboard. It really is that good. I am almost as fast as a PC keyboard.

And as for learning it, well it takes no time. I have demonstrated it to several people who have had a go and within a minute they are Oooing and arrring as they Swype words with ease. It's so intuitive there really is very little learning or adaptation required.
[General Questions and Answers] sonnytang1215:
I did get my LG Incite CT810 with WM6.1 from AT&T. I did find my touch screen always not response correctly. The store tell me the issue may come from virus and ask me to run "clear storage" to clean my phone. However, after I do so, the issue does come back again. I just wonder if my phone really get virus and can "clear storage" clean the virus? Or, maybe it just the phone physical issue. Thanks for help
[General Questions and Answers] ramdroid77:
you can try adjust sensitivity of your touch screen, if that's the problem????
[General Questions and Answers] TheRem:
"clear storage" or hard reset can wipe away the virus BUT if the virus in on the Storage Card, you also have to format your memory card or anti-virus scan it on your computer.

Haha yessir. Not sure why it was uploaded with a .txt extension.

All you gotta do is just remove the .txt

So "fix_permissions.txt" becomes --> "fix_permissions"

All should work from there.

First off I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this. If not please let me know.

Thanks,

So although not a class 6 SD card I was using a Patriot 16GB Class 2 SD card and it died. I didn't know any better at the time. I tried various ways of getting ubuntu to recognize the card so I might be able to pull the most current data off it but ultimate failed. I did make regular back-ups but there is about a 2 week period that I lost would like to get back. If anyone can point me in the right direction, possibly another post or general brain storming.

Thanks again,

I'm selling my G1 and am demoing it for a potential buyer tomorrow. I've unrooted the phone and am back to 1.0. My question is whether it is possible to force an OTA update to the latest Android version 1.6? I've waited nearly 24 hours and haven't received any update from Tmobile. Is this typical? Is there any way to speed this process up? I'd like to demo the cool features of 1.6 if I can.

[Nexus One General] hotleadsingerguy:
I never fully unlocked any of my iPhones...but what purpose would unlocking the baseband of the Nexus One serve? Is it only meant to be used by people that didn't get the Nexus unlocked?

Basically what I'm wondering is if there's a possibility of altering the wave lengths of the baseband to make use of AT&T's 3G. It would theoretically be possible to reprogram the radio to send/receive on the different wave length...but I'm absolutely not programmer-savvy enough to do it.

I was also thinking something along this line: A company should create a case that integrates an AT&T-capable radio that would work with an app they design to basically enable 3G over AT&T. It would definitely be possible...
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
its the BOOTLOADER you can unlock, not the baseband. The baseband doesnt need unlocking because the phone is already SIM unlocked.

Also no baseband unlock can make your antennae support new frequencies. this is a hardware limitation.
[Nexus One General] hotleadsingerguy:
Well I knew nothing can make an antenna support new frequencies, but my question was whether the radio could support the frequencies but was only locked out of them.

I was just wondering if that were the case and if so, if it would be possible to remove that lock.
[Nexus One General] JareduPS:
1. Agreed

2. The radio they use in the N1 supports the AT&T 3G frequencies, but it's locked out on the chip. That's why there's speculation that someone will hack a way to get 3G enabled on the device, but it will have to be modified somehow. (not physically, it's similar to how the wireless N is disabled on the HD2)

--

Someone will come along with an unlock for the freq. eventually if it's possible, I'd assume it would be, but you never know.
[Nexus One General] hotleadsingerguy:
The only reason I made this topic was because there was another topic named "Unlocking baseband..." and I figured they used the correct terminology.

I knew unlocking the bootloader is the common thing, but I figured someone had actually figured out how to unlock the baseband to the point where they could unlock and use the AT&T 3G frequencies. That's why I came up with the questions.
[Nexus One General] Svegetto:
Where did u get the info that the At&t radio frequency is just locked on nexus one? I'm gonna call shinanigans on that one.

A) There is no way that google would lock extra frequencies....it would just help them to get at&t customers......there is no logic there what so ever.

B) I don't believe there is any chip that supports both TMobile and At&t 3g frequencies in production. Therefore this is not even possible
[Nexus One General] hotleadsingerguy:
Actually sometime after creating this topic I found another with a long list of spec sheets and such and they found out that the radio *does* support the frequencies but they believed that only the T-Mobile frequencies are amplified (meaning the AT&T frequencies would be fairly useless)
