am I the only one who IS NOT seeing this 2G-3G problem? I mean I do see the 3G connection sometimes going from 2 bars to 4 bars in the same area, and In some places around where I live I can't get 3G coverage, but this is the EXACT SAME behavior I saw on my MT3G :confused:
[Nexus One General] fdm1:
First off, I have to say that I absolutely love the N1...I don't remember the last time I was this obsessed with a gadget both before and after I got it.

That being said, I was starting to get a little nervous while waiting for FedEx because of all the bad press I was seeing. But then I noticed that a large chunk of this press was generated by sites like macworld.com or other apple, iphone, mac related sites. While the N1 has some minor glitches(what piece of technology doesn't), this is mostly a case of fanboys feeling threatened because people won't be oohing and aahing over there iphone as much.

P.S. I came from a G1 and am seeing absolutely no difference/problem with my 2g/3g service.
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
These network issues seem to be only in the US.

Never had any problems in the UK with my iPhone/3G, G1, Hero.

But then again pretty much all the UK is 3G anyway :)

Clearly people are writing this phone off without even seeing/using it!

Was in work and two are big WinMo and iPhone fans and they even said a few hours after it was officially announced that the iPhone is better without even knowing anything about it! I then told them about the Snapdragon / 512mb ram etc and then they shifted it saying yer but Android is rubbish!

But in work their are also a few Android users (G1, Tattoo and Hero) and they couldn't wait to see what Android does and if anything from the N1 will get ported etc!

Its just like the good old which console is the best? 360 or PS3! You can argue all day but you will never win the argument!

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
The fact that "no multi - touch" is riddled on most reviews and that most people are referencing Engadget should make you realize the TERRIBLE shape electronic reviews are in.

Theres only a handful of people that know wtf theyre talking about. Im convinvec none of those people work at Engadget or the slew of other "tech review" sites Im reading. How do you review a product youve never touched ? How do you give a review based on anothers review ? Insulting a trackball ??

I mean jeez sound slike this guy would have his mind blown by a pair of AA batteries.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
not if AAA batteries were already invented, then the AA would just be stupid because they are missing an "i"... i mean "A"! ;)
[Nexus One General] RonnieFoxxx:
i agree completely. i have zero, ZERO problems with by n1 except for the dynamic polar clock of course. Google was very prompt with a return e-mail about the polar clock also. im very sure Google has an update soon for up to fix the polar clock and the 3g/edge switch issue. i seem to remember alot of bad press about the iphone when it originally came out also, as i recall it had alot of bugs. i guess this is "bad press" is our hater-aid and we should just drink up while the ifanboys drink their Apple kool-aid. :D
[Nexus One General] JareduPS:
REMOVABLE BATTERIES?! NON-SENSE! (sarcasm)

I don't really get why people are bashing the N1. In the end, it's the same as the 3gs in terms of app placement- the hardware's faster than the other two models and developers have to make a choice of whether or not to take advantage of it- Android's made tons of improvements and now there's even fewer restrictions on the hardware (sold unlocked, super easy root)

I've loved my G1 for awhile and while it's a tank, I eagerly await getting the N1 at the end of the month as I've been able to toy with one (boss ordered after CES) and it pretty much lives up to all the hype.

I'm eager to get my hands on the section of the SDK that will allow for programming of live wallpapers- i love theming, and I can't wait to get a few of my ideas for a live background.
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
NO problems with 3G/EDGE here either. Same performance as my G1.
[Nexus One General] shata:
lol that 6 reasons article is definitly a Iphone user trying to give google and t-mobile a bad name, BUT im not to fond of them right now myself because of the whole family plan/Corporate discount thing which is keeping me from getting one cause im not spending 530$ haha.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
The trackball comment sounded like it was pulled directly from the gizmodo review. The trackball does the same thing it has on every android phone, there's nothing to report here.
[Nexus One General] romeo0119:
Those tech writer/review are dumb asses. Every new good potential phones that come out they write up a review or hand on and then compare it to the iphone and then they talk junk about it. Esp those engadget @sshole. For ex, when the N900 came out, they talk mad sh!t about it comparing to the iphone, well for once, if they were smart enough, iphone is up to 3.1 version, and maemo 5 is still not complete. And now the nexus, android os had about 1.5 yr to grow so far. Iphone os? Well maybe 3 now? Iphone didnt have mms til 3.0 comes out, those reviewer are a bunch of iphone fanboys who seriously cant stand the thought of a competing device that might have a chance to beat it. I rather read forums and base my buying decision than trusting some blog writing techy.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
I had a discussion yesterday with one of my coworkers on that, because he's stuck on a family plan. But this is a t-mobile decision, and them doing what they've always done and screwing over existing customer in favor of new signups. I'd kinda like to see the churn numbers at tmo. In any event, its still cheaper to buy the phone outright and continue with my grandfathered plan, even further non-contract plans are still cheaper in the end, and tmo is the only provider currently offering this inside the United States.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I hate everything about my new super sleek, super fast N1. What I hate most is its speed. Actually, I think I hate its awesome screen the most. Or that it's too light and thin for the power it has. I also hate how easily my contacts, calendar and email sync seemlessly with my device. I hate the fact I have to use a top of the line browser when going online and I especially hate that all my music plays so well. Watching all those HD quality movies I've converted and watching high quality YouTube videos is so boring. I can't stand my desktop full of all those widgets that provide me with useful information and those folders keeping my apps sorted just get in the way. But--and here's the most important thing I hate about my N1--I hate that I can make phone calls wherever I am. I'd much rather my calls be dropped. And that's all before I even rooted it to get access to more stuff to make my N1 terrible.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
+1 Those things are SO annoying! And how about that damn 5mp camera with it's stupid flash taking really good pictures all the time, it's like god, stop already, I don't want to see things so well!

[Nexus One General] MERKJONES:
LOL - the commentes on the PCWorld article are golden. They really smashed him to pieces. Seems like Apple needs a universal "umaaaaad?" They are certainly trying to kill it. I've argued with like 10 iPhone users on Apple vs M$ and Apple vs Google, and it always ends in some "HTC/Google are just copying iPhone" type of endgame strategy. I mean who wouldn't want a dope ass OS on multiple pieces of hardware? ERIS is nice, G1 is nice, MT3G, Droid ... (I'm not a huge fan of the rest of them).

This happened to Apple in the 80s, they were awesome, then stuck with proprietary hardware and closed themselves in thus giving Microsoft the win, and they aren't even CLOSE to them now. Lets hope they continue this model, and Google kicks them in the face this time around.
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I haven't received my N1 yet, but expect it Monday morning. I was getting a little nervous wondering if I'd made a mistake so it's encouraging to also here people who really like the phone. I've used palm, blackberry, winmo, symbian and the iphone so my exposure to the different platforms is pretty strong, but this will be my first android phone.

I do think the iphone has some pretty strong features so I think the comparison's are legitimate if they're done objectively. Also, even though Android is on 2.1 and the iphone is on 3.1 when comparing the merits of the platforms you have to look at current capabilities that each platform represents to have a true comparison.

With that said, I continue to be amazed at the general media bias towards the iphone. It has certainly brought some innovation to the phone platform and you can't argue that the app store has been a great success with some truly compelling products, but it also has some serious shortcomings as well. No multitasking, poor phone reception, exchange support that has improved, but still with some serious quirks, less than great html email rendering, no calendar snooze (wtf?), no supported ability to customize the device etc, etc. A good device, but far from perfect. I'm anxiously waiting for my Nexus One and my first foray into Android.
[Nexus One General] RueTheDay:
Here's my take:

When the iPhone first came out, it was a worldbeater. Most Windows Mobile phones at the time were big and clunky, were WM5 (WM6 had just been RTMed a few months earlier), and obviously had resisitive rather than capacative screens. Blackberries of the day did not have touchscreens and were really just mobile email devices. Treos had a loyal following but the old Palm OS was ridiculously primitive compared to the iPhone OS.

Then came Android, with the G1 and later the myTouch. Finally, the iPhone had a competitor at the OS level, but the hardware was relatively weak and consigned to T-Mobile (which was just starting to roll out 3G). iPhone people mocked these phones, even though they were very capable.

Then came the Palm Pre, which had a very slick interface. But there were hardware issues and it was consigned to Sprint.

Everything changed when the Dorid was released. While Android made huge progress with 1.5 and 1.6, (and some would say 1.6 was equal or better than iPhone OS), 2.0 was clearly a better OS than iPhone OS. The hardware, for the first time, was at least equal to the iPhone. The biggest carrier in the US, Verizon, now had it, and was obviously sinking a lot of money into a marketing message that delighted in making fun of the iPhone and demonstrating Android's clear superiority. iPhone people got scared.

Now, there's the Nexus One. Any INFORMED consumer can see it surpasses the iPhone from both a hardware level and an OS level. Google is marketing the living hell out of it. Soon, 3 of the 4 biggest carriers will have it. The world is changing.

People who spent the last several years with their iPhones thinking they had the best phone, constantly upgrading to the next version, spending lots of money on apps, etc. are now watching their world slip away. They are fighting back vigorously, by spreading vitriol and misinformation. It's futile. iPhone is, and will continue to be, a very good phone. But the future belongs to Android.
[Nexus One General] :
If you look at the Walt Mossberg N1 review in the WSJ 'paper edition' you'll see that the layout editors cut his review text at exactly the point he says how little memory it has compared to his beloved iphone...turn the page... several pages deep... and the sentence completes by saying that the N1 does have expandable memory.

I don't think that was unintentional as trivial as it may seem.

Uncle Walt says he's fair in his reviews (Hah) but that doesn't mean they can't play with his text. Grandpa Ruprt doesn't like Google too much as you know.
[Nexus One General] Ryanmo5:
My friend who is an iphone owner always brags about the iphone, so you can imagine my shock and amazement when i got a call this morning asking me about the nexus one with great enthusiasm. I was really taken aback cause he puts down any and all other phones without hesitation! I'm going over there today to show off to him lol. He asked me about the market and I told him its not even a third of what the iphone has available in their market and his response was "yeah but 90% of it is garbage". Iphone owners are people who like to be followers and get the "coolest" and most popular phone available. Most of them have no clue about what a quality phone is. Sure the iphone and apple have done wonderful and innovative things, but as far as I can tell have never attempted to make it a better "phone" which in the end is what matters. The iphone is an amazing device don't get me wrong and I'm sure apple will fight back in every way possible and that's good. Apple hasn't had any true competition until now imo, the touch pro 2 and a few other devices are tremendous devices, however I feel the nexus one is the one that's finally gonna steal their thunder. Google has the money and the moxie to give them a run for the title and the Android OS has already surpassed the iphone in most ways, the iphone and its overall media support imo is the only reason the iphone is what it is today. Android's media capabilities/limitations is the only thing holding it back. Instead of Amazon I would create my own media outlet if I were google (itunes type of outlet), that's the last piece of the puzzle and would truly put Android on top!
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
100% agree about Google needing to pick it up in the multimedia area... the iPhone is king for media junkies and rightfully so... iTunes alone makes the IPhone superior in that aspect
[Nexus One General] :
I wish it had:

USB hosting

Infrared (old but very useful..and so cheap to have included :( )

Video Out

Still it looks to be the best phone ever and I WANT ONE! :D:D:D
[Nexus One General] :
I agree with you but unfortunately in the end what matters is who sells the most. I'm worried that the N1 isn't pretty enough. Yeh, pretty :eek:

The first time I held the iphone in my hand, I gotta say it really was sexy. If you've only seen the thing in an advert it aint the same. the design is amazing... things as innocuous as the exact curve chosen for the corners, the tapered shape....not just tapered, but tapered just right. It's art, and extremely hard to explain or measure.

Recent book by Ken Auleta, Googled, writes about the culture of Google and how brilliant they are as engineers but ultimately just that, engineers.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Yes, Google are engineers - they didn't design the phone, HTC did lol. Unless I'm mistaken, and Google told HTC how to design it? I don't remember hearing anything like that specifically though.

Give your iphone is smexy lecture to HTC, and maybe they will give you some sexy-ness ^.^
[Nexus One General] :
My iphone is sexy lecture ??? :cool: right. or did you really mean smexy.

Google is responsible for the phone, not HTC.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fingertipz85:
Ive just installed Windows 7 on my PC and its great! However, my Magic doesn't seem to work with it...I just get that 'USB device not recognised' message"!

Does anybody else get this?

:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dimplechugh:
not work with window 7

yes dear i got the same prob with window 7.i think htc sync not work with windows 7
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lupinnktp:
i got the same problem. however there is a workaround. you could google for a zip file containing the driver files (not an installer) and install them using "Device managers". that will connect the Magic, and you can adb with it. And no, even with that HTC Sync does not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wildcard26:
Install the drivers and it will be recognize. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and no probs connecting to MT3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cashoplz:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fingertipz85:
Nope it still won't recognise the device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aurvan:
I had to go to Printers and devices or whatever it's called, then right click on Android phone, choose properties (with admin access) and driver. Then update driver for the phone itself (currently it probably say Dream or something) and always choose to browse to the file manually. Then click to get a list of compatible drivers, and then click "HAVE DISK" (this is the only way I got it to work) and browse to the driver files for Windows 7 in

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64

and it should work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fingertipz85:
I don't seem to have 'Andrioid' in my Devices & Printers. Not really sure why but i'll have a little play around with a few settings and see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] der_schatten:
i`ve had the same problem

my solution...

settings -> SD card & phone storage -> unmount sd card

remove SD Card and insert the card again...

after that , everything works fine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fingertipz85:
This technique has definately fixed the 'unrecognised' problem! Still can't open up my phone as a removable drive in My Computer though, but its a good start! HTC Sync also still can't recognise it. Thanks for help I'm sure this'll help a lot of people with Windows 7.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aurvan:
Install USBDeview (google it) and find any listed driver (with the phone disconnected) related to the words Android, HTC, Dream (you get the picture) and uninstall if you need to remove USB-drivers for the phone. Then you can plug it back in "fresh" and use new drivers.

I have a SMTP server with requires to authenticate to send message.

I've setted this in the WM6.5 account configuration, but my HD2 is not capable to send out the mail... after few minutes of trying I receive an advice about the message can't be send.

If I use another SMPT server with requires no authentication the message is sent without any problem.

Is there any know bug in SMTP authenticating?
[HD2 General] pat12:
lots of ISPs (and phone operators for that matter) prohibit the use of third party SMTP servers, so it may be the reason...Could also be that you made a spelling mistake entering user/pwd for your SMTP server :-)

If you are with Orange, you are out of luck, they won't let you use another SMTP server (at least, that's the case in France)
[HD2 General] Naamah:
.. i can use third party SMTP server...

My phone operator is H3G, and I can use out.alice.it that are without authentication, but i can't use smtp.naamah.it that use authentication.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Have you succeeded in using your SMTP server on any other Windows Mobile device?

Authentication is not automatic- any authenticated server may need to have an agreement with the phone operator (in your case H3G); most of the mainstream third party providers have negotiated such agreements and many operators allow any authenticated SMTP addresses but some do not.

I use a domain which needs authentication and it works fine.
[HD2 General] Naamah:
Uhm... maybe I can't explain well... for authentication I understand this...

...
[HD2 General] NeilM:
We understand what you are saying, but authentication depends on 2 factors

1) As in your screenshot, the authentication boxes need to be enabled.

2) Your phone operator has to recognise and authorise the request to send via an authenticated server.

It seems your problem is related to item #2- H3G doesn't recognise your server as a legitimate authenticated service.

As a matter of interest, do the connection settings for your H3G service include a proxy server? If so, that may be part of the problem.
