[Networking] SlyDogJeff77:
please. no flaming!

I have been using windows mobile for YEARS.. since the old compaq 6600..

I STILL DON'T GET CONNECTION SETTINGS?!

I just want to watch a stupid youtube video!!! I connect and open youtube, it shows me search results and when i click on a vid, it just sits there connecting for EVER and i never see the vid!!!

So I'm using the new AT&T Pure and I have a cooked rom. No big deal. I have an unlimited data plan so using 3g data is not a big deal. But I don't have good service at my house.

So, can someone please direct me to a good wiki or microsoft doc that CLEARLY explains networking via 3g vs. Wifi in windown mobile!?!?!

At&t uses a proxy server with their MediaNet connection. Correct?!

If i connect with my wifi and it connects to my WORK NETWORK, and I have THAT set to connect to the internet, then what?!

why don't my applications (like YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK and OPERA) use the fastest connection automatically?!?!

there used to be a "disable proxy" and "enable proxy" program running around... what was it for?! to disable the proxy server settings on the MediaNet network?! why do you need that to use the wifi?! the wifi network adaptor connects to the work network which connects to the internet without a proxy!?

i'm a Microsoft Systems Administrator.. I have been working with Servers for YEARS.. i have SETUP ISA servers, configured routers and HP ProCurve switches and the likes of such for YEARS!!! Why does MS have to make windows Mobile Networking so freaking complicated!!!!

Hi,

Can someone post some high resolution photos from Nexus one sleeve included in the package?

How good is the sleeve and whether it protects the phone in case it hit the desk or when it is in our jeans pocket?

Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] Bicster_:
I dropped mine on a hard floor from about 4 feet. The sleeve saved it but it still sounded scary. I'm still waiting for my silicone case to arrive.

The sleeve is nothing special. It's neoprene, perhaps 5mm.
[Nexus One Accessories] cresto2:
I can say that it works very well as far as protecting your phone. I have a N1, but my cousin was trying to see if her Sprint Hero could fit in the sleeve and just when she put it in the sleeve, it fell on the floor. We slid it back out of the sleeve and apart from the battery door popping off, and we snapped it back on, all was well. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] archboy69:
I have been using it and it seems to work well enough. It is slim and has the cute android on one side. I'm going to put the Zagg body protector when it comes out in conjunction with the sleeve.
[Nexus One Accessories] legolas.w:
Thank you all for the replay. I think I will stay with Clear-coat screen protector and the sleeve. but can anyone please post a photo of the sleeve ?

specially when the cell phone is inside the sleeve. I want to know whether the sleeve fully covers the phone or the phone is taller than the sleeve.

Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] SystmDcln:
It's actually a pretty good quality case. I would compare it to the one which came with the G1, just different material.

Here is a pic I took with the N1 camera :)

It's like the Body Glove mobile phone cases... Nice and compact..

I took a quick video clip of around the case and a frame grab here showing the depth of the phone in the case

[Nexus One Accessories] Benz-Driver:
Hey, that's a really nice case! Thanks for the pic!
[Nexus One Accessories] SystmDcln:
I like the little Android on it. I wish Google would make an actual case to carry on your hip with that on it.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
The same thing happened to me. i dropped mine but it wasnt 4 feet and the phone came out alright. like you said it was scary.:eek:
[Nexus One Accessories] efenili:
The case is nice, it is slim and cushy. That said I don't think it will protect it from serious falls. If you are careful its nice, it slips in and out easily and doesn't add much width of it at all.

I will be looking into other things as well...that you don't need to remove in order to use the phone but we will see. I hate adding width to the phone at all
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
The sleeve is just OK for now, until better protective cases hit the market!
[Nexus One Accessories] legolas.w:
Thanks everyone for sharing the pictures and your thought.
[Nexus One Accessories] legolas.w:
Thank you for the photo,

is this taken with the Nexus one highest camera resolution?
[Nexus One Accessories] legolas.w:
The video is amazing, thanks for sharing it.

I am waiting for my N1 :(. Hope it arrive soon :d
[Nexus One Accessories] milkham:
does a decent job of wiping the screen off as you push it in and pull it out if you put some pressure on the front
[Nexus One Accessories] jz9833:
this is what i like most about it
[Nexus One Accessories] droiddv:
I think the sleeve does it's job, however I cannot hear my phone calls very well when it's in the sleeve, and if your trying to answer a call when you do actually hear it you have to hustle to remove it from your pocket and try to get it out of the sleeve to answer the call. It's tricky. I cannot wait for the 2 docking stations that are coming out at the end of the month. One for the desktop and one for the car. Both will use the little gold contacts on the bottom of the phone. So you do not have to use a docking station with a damn micro usb sticking out of the docking station, you will be able to just set your phone onto these stations, and it will charge without connecting anything.:D
[Nexus One Accessories] Bicster_:
Eh, who said anything about them coming out at the end of the month? They haven't been announced at all, much less given release dates. We only know about them because they passed through the FCC.
[Nexus One Accessories] timbadia:
From my past experiences ...

... Just wanted to share this: I have had several similar sleeves that came with phones I have had in the past and here are common problems I have found with them:

(1) Most of them use glue in addition to stitching in their construction. After months of use (and possibly from body heat if commonly stored in pocket), the glue starts to marr the phone

(2) Most of them have nice soft OUTER finishes but not so on the inside. This is true for the N1 sleeve too. Feel the roughness of the edges and sides on the inside ... not sure anyone would really want their phone sliding up and down on that especially if the sleeve is snug.

(3) Most of them tend to double as screen cleaners if used a certain way (either on the inside or using the outside), but end up leaving surface scratches in the long run.

(4) Even the best of screen protectors tend to affect the screen resolution and/or viewing angle even if just slightly.

Granted that these experiences ranged over several manufacturers (Sony Ericcson P series, HTC, etc) and several skins/screen protectors, but I have now built up my knee-jerk reaction of a shudder everytime I think of a sleeve or a screen protector .... of course, thats just me :)

Just my two cents ....

On a side note, I am in search for a vertical flip style ("book style") for my N1.

I guess my logic is this: protect when not in use, but let me have the best resolution when IN use ... in case anyone knows of a good one, please let me know?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] BrooklynAvi:
I am using the case that came with my T-Mobile Dash (HTC S620). It is my favorite case and fits the N1 nearly perfectly. I got a similar one for my G1 made by HTC which was bigger and fit the G1 with an extended battery. I think the reason these cases don't ship with the G1, myTouch, N1, etc. is because the magnets may mess with the phone's sensor. In more than a year I haven't found that to be the case. I love the sideways belt cases with magnetic flaps. These new sleeves are cheap and suck.
[Nexus One Accessories] :
I dont think you have a nexus one cause my sleeve is sewn together, and the inside is a microfiber fabric on the inside and a synthetic neoprene on the outside. The neoprene is "smoother" but definately not as a soft as the inside.
[Nexus One Accessories] timbadia:
I *do* have a nexus one ..... so, wrong assumption :)

BTW, I did not claim that the nexus one case, in particular, has glue or not ... I made a generic statement that, at times, even the sewn ones have glue that leaks eventually. Perhaps it is true for the N1, perhaps not ...

One thing is for sure: the N1 case I have is definitely NOT microfiber inside, and DOES have edges near the stitching that can potentially scratch the phone's screen.

In any case (pardon the pun; could not resist) ... to each his own, as they say. Glad its working out for you.
[Nexus One Accessories] dnar56:
i wouldnt use the sleeve only because when you go to quickly grab the phone and the opening is at the bottom, your phone can easily slide out if you dont grasp it firmly. i found this out the hard way with my G1.
[Nexus One Accessories] Snooker:
I quite like the default sleeve that is provided with the Nexus One. It is protective (obviously not when you drop it from eight feet or so, but for smaller accidents it's okay) and I like the Android on the front. But indeed, if the opening is pointed to the floor, gravity will pull out your beloved device, so take care!
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
My N1 is very snug in its slip case. Hasn't been an issue at all for me.

See above. I agree with you that it's pretty adequate protection. I'm pretty OCD with my phones... if it's raining out, or if I know my hands are full enough that messing with the phone will create a risk of dropping it, it won't leave my pocket. (Yes, I know it's a sickness. :))

Anyway, I think this sleeve is good protection, and would hold up fine to a fall of a couple feet on a moderately hard surface. I wouldn't even get a screen protector if I didn't think it would make the screen less of a fingerprint magnet.

HI there,

Anyone know how to complain the poor service on buying "Nexus One" thr. online web site?

I place my order on 6th and until 8th to confirm my payment and accept order. (in 2010's using credit card payment still need such leading time) Now today is 11th, but still no information for shipment...

Are they really busy? or lack of ppl to work or out of stock?

It is unbeliveable to google :eek:
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
I just ordered mine this morning. I really hope it doesn't take that long to ship, seeing as how they are shipping out of Indianapolis which is only 2 hours from me.
[Nexus One General] hkfriends:
yes, it is crazy.... no customer service to handle issue properly.

it just using standard email reply and repeat the same msg, we are working on this and wait 1-3 days after confirmed payment..

I tried many online purchase from US / EU and don't see this problem nowadays. My guess is they don't have enough ppl to handle order so take extra 1 day to process my payments. How come such a big company starting a new project (to sell phone directly) without any senses. :(
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I ordered at 6:15PM EST on Friday, had a receipt a few minutes later and a shipment confirmation later that evening. It's on a truck for delivery this morning. Pretty quick process for me, but I know that sometimes international orders can add a day or so to the process. I've experienced this when ordering phones from overseas in the past.
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
Im hoping it gets to me today honestly with me being so close. Id like to grab mine from the sorting facility as it probably won't make a truck. =) I cant wait!
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
The issue isn't the extra day international orders take to be delivered but the fact that some orders haven't been processed yet. I ordered on 7th, then phoned bank on Friday morning to check there weren't any issues (there weren't, payment was authorised) but still my order remains at 'Not yet shipped' and the support from google is pathetic. I wouldn't mind if google actually processed their orders in order!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Do yourself a favor and call your credit card company and let them know to expect a charge for whatever the total cost was. That way, they won't slow you down. That's what happened to me. I just happened to call my cc company, and then all of a sudden the next day it was processed and shipped after a 2 day delay. Google never even sent me a status update to let me know anything was holding me up.
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
I used my debit card and it's already been charged the full amount, so no issues there I think. Its not odd for me to blow several hundreds of dollars on a single purchase lately.. hahaha. All is well, just constantly refreshing waiting for a tracking number. =)
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
I had a similar experience as bugsy. I ordered mine Jan 5th at 11:30am MST, receipt 20 minutes later, and less than 12 hours later, an email that said the phone had shipped. They attempted delivery at 9:30am the next morning. That's insanely fast, and I don't live anywhere near their sorting facility
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
I got my receipt in like 20 secs =) and the webstore thing currently says

#Google Phone Webstore received your order.

What other steps are their in this process...

*currently smashing F5 on the page waiting for shipment*
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
Wait, twiddle thumbs, punch hole in wall, pull out hair, more waiting, very little sleep, and then more waiting, and then... it arrives :D
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
Hahaha, its like you know me already =)

IIITITTT SHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[Nexus One General] awesomeindeed:
I ordered mine on the 7th in the morning with a debit card. Payment was processed immediately and I got my receipt right away. My order status is still at the "Google Phone Webstore has received your order."

Two emails to them have yielded no replies and my bank acknowledges everything is fine. Kind of frustrating. I hope they ship it out soon... getting a little impatient.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
I ordered mind 5:50pm EST on the 6th (Thur), it was shipped 7am on the 7th (Fri), but held hostage by fedex until this morning (it was here, but they didn't think it was priority to unload it from the crate Sat since they didn't have to deliver until Monday).
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
Strange, I ordered mine on Thursday too but mine shows up as the 7th ;-)

Hi guys

I'm writing a thesis about usability of mobile phones, especially Touch/Physical Keyboard.

For that, I'm doing an experiment with people operating the mobile phone (HTC Touch Pro2). To collect my data I have to capture everything they do.

My question now is, is there a software out there, which log every move they do on the phone like texting? Or at least counting clicks and time?

Do you understand what I mean? This is kinda important for me :D

I appreciate your help !

Regards

ceRn
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
never heard about it think it would seriously impact the performance of the device

as IO is not that fast on these devices

and if one look at how many cpu legs connect directly to the screen
[General Questions and Answers] cern:
well there are programms out where you can control your device via bluetooth or usb from your computer. you see on your computer the exact device and what moves you are doing and you can record it. so i thought it could be possible to log this on the computer (not the device). so there wouldnt be any performance decreases right?

You just need to turn off in folder options "Hide protected operating system files"!!!

And that's it, the only thing is that after that, in my case, to open windows folder takes about a minute.... but it works!

Hi All,

Sorry if the answer is somewhere I have tried my best for searching through forums but couldn't find any solution.

I have bought an HTC HD2 was on O2 but got it unlocked.

I'm using it with Orange. The internet and everything seems to work perfectly fine but I can't get emails through internet. Everytime I get the same message i.e. Error Synchronizing" cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.

It's the same message either I try to access my yahoo email, googlemail or hotmail.

I have tried changing internet settings, email settings but no success.

Funnily enough I get email with no problems once my HTC HD2 is connected through WiFi.

I'll be very thankful to you if anyone could help my sorting out my frustration.

Thnx

Was having same problem - Try this-

Hi,

I think I was having the same problem today (HTC HD2 on T-Mobile). I had Outlook synchronization working fine to my work email, however when I tried to setup an IMAP connection to my ISP email (PlusNet) I was getting the error you mention.

After some experminentation/research I found the answer (for me):

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=302066&page=4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just had this issue on my new HTC Touch Pro (on T-Mobile UK) stock rom.

I've been pulling my hair out over this for a few hours and FINALLY solved it. For me the issue seem that when T-Mobile downloads all its settings to the phone the Internet service is called "T-Mobile Internet" where the email settings aare trying to use "Internet" (which then no longer exists).

So in short - this is how I fixed it...

At you mail inbox: Menu > Tools > Options > Click ur email account > Edit Account Setup > press Next until you get to the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail server settings page > Click the Advanced Server Settings link at the bottom > change Network connection to your internet provider instead of the default "Internet" (e.g. mine's "T-Mobile Internet") > carry on thorugh the pages until finished. It should now connect without the Error Synchronising message.

Hope this helps save someone some time somewhere!

Just figured it out and it works now - woohoo!!

To get to the "advanced" setting in the email config.

Click Start

Click email (in the programs menu page)

Highlight your email account (eg gmail)

click menu

select options

click gmail

click 'edit account setup'

click next/next/next.. until the smtp setup page

click 'advanced server settings'

select the proper network connection (eg Telstra internet)

Then done next/next/finish

And voila you can synchronise

Thanks Lloydy - I have also been pulling my hair out. Just one question though. Will emails be sent/received by wi-fi if wi-fi if is connected rather than using up data allowances of 3g/gprs. I tried going into the setting and turning off the data connection and then send/reeive email but the phone has a habit of turning the data connection back on on its own.
