I haven't really had anybody stop and admire my Nexus yet. I sort of got my co-workers turned on to Android bragging about my G1/MyTouch etc, and they really were impressed with the phone. The main thing that is keeping people from making the switch so quickly is the lack of superb well designed apps. Yes, there are good apps on Android, just not enough and they often lack polish. Kevin Rose just did his review and it was pretty positive.

I must say ive loved android since i first tuned the phone on, its common sense where stuff is! Granted i dont get which ones the homescreen as such.. ive put icons everywhere lol but yeah i love it..

and its so smooth and fast compared to the horror WM 6.5
[Nexus One General] tmotech88:
i have been a firm iphone used for over 2 years and believed that untill a phone that could multi-task and use multitouch came out that i wasnt going to migrate back to a android phone but i have to say comming from an unlocked iphone 3gs to the nexus one is the best choice anyone could make! its like i found my dream wife lol:D

Marrage date was january 1st! lmao im in love!

[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Currently it's click one, view one, back to list and choose again. Is there anyway to specific a folder of videos to playback in sequence, or create a playlist of some sort that the default HTC video player will recognize? I know Coreplayer/TCPMP can do it, but they can't play encoded videos properly without hardware acceleration.

Thanks in advance. :D
[HD2 General] OliveUK:
i d love to know that too
[HD2 General] kenkiller:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
Hey guys, thanks to PPCGeeks I spotted an update for Windows Live for Mobile, released yesterday and bumping the version number to 10.7.0061.0500 :)

Here's the direct link at Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e9c-ab38-7c19f55df5d3&displayLang=en#filelist

Have fun :)

Edit: I still haven't installed it so I can't say what's new or if it's working ok on custom 6.5.3 HD2 ROM, but as it's an official update hopefully it should work ok...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhangqip:
thanks!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Haven't noticed anything new... Maybe a little more fingerfriendly setup or maybe it was just imagination?

Working very good here on my Diamond.

Thanks!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
I didn't had too much time to play with this new version... The only thing I noticed is that Hotmail folder sync is slightly faster than the previous version, everything else seem to be the same (but I may be proven wrong about that :) )... Probably it's just a bugfix release :)

What difference between WindowsLive.PPC2005_arm.cab and WindowsLive_0409.PPC2005_arm.cab??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rstoyguy:
Looks like WindowsLive_0409.PPC2005_arm.cab just has the english language, and the other has english and 24 other languages that it installs... Thus the size difference.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyadyar:
my sony xperia recently started acting weird lately:

1) their is a permanent multi colored line though the bottom screen that stays their no matter what i do

2) when i first press the power button the screen will flicker white and then will go to home screen

I know it is a hardware issue im just stuck as to if it is a lcd screen that needs to be replaced, or the flex cable .what do you guys think
[HD2 General] rebecker:
Might there be a registry tweak for the number of steps for the volume button? I generally listen to music with the screen off. If I want to change the volume using the physical button I am limited to 5 steps. However, the volume control for the HTC player has 15 steps; much more usable. Is there any way to change the button increments to 15?

Thanks in advance.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] loomx:
It looks like if you go to the registry you can change where you want the small volume control used in music player to appear and add it to other apps. So hopefully someone will be able to figure out a way to make it appear all the time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] uniqueboy:
There seem to be a lot of smallish apps to show your battery status in a one or two pixel bar above the taskbar. There are a few which show ram usage as well, for example PWR Stats or DCI Battery/Qwerty Memory but I just want the memory bar. Something eactly like qwerty memory but above the taskbar and not below. So if someone knows of such an app, or how to mod qwerty memory to display where I want it......I'd be very happy.:) At the moment I use PWR Stats, but since installing BattClock half of it is redundant. I like to know how my memory is doing at all times since my Omnia 2 seems to have a few ram issues, ie it dissapears and shuts stuff down.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drizztzou:

[Nexus One General] m00moo:
Hi guys,

Im new to the Android scene, and thats because of the N1 :D got my nexus on order and should arrive shorty in the following week. Been reading the threads here over the last week or so, but alot of things aren't quite clear to me. Especially because im a Android noobie (previous WinMo :()

Anyways reading about the Unlocking bootloader and Rooting the device seems pretty straight forward. I understand the consequences of each part and thus appears to be pretty easily done.

The things that i am unclear about are the addon packs and the things it comes bundled with?

- What are the current benefits from flashing these "addon" packs?

- They aren't ROM's just kind of expansion packs right? so no lost data after?

- Wtf is adb? lol i keep seeing it but no idea what it is, thus confusing for noobies like me.

- In cyanogens thread here it says backup using Nandroid, and when i find Nandroid in google i get this. But it says for G1? will it still work fine?

Thankyou for any answers as I believe you will help me to NOT mess up my new phone. I'm sure alot of other people would be thankful for your answers.

Thankyou again!
[Nexus One General] theomajigga:
Hello,

First off welcome to Android, second, get the fire suit on for the "wrong forum" flames.

What are the current benefits from flashing these "addon" packs?

Not a *ton* but there is Tether and other goodies that you can start using.​

- They aren't ROM's just kind of expansion packs right? so no lost data after?

Yes to 1st, and there will be lost data when you unlock the bootloader.. if you unocked the bootloader, and then used the phone for a week or so, THEN flashed this addon pack, then no data loss.​

- Wtf is adb? lol i keep seeing it but no idea what it is, thus confusing for noobies like me.

Android Debug Bridge... its used for debugging. lol....​

- In cyanogens thread here it says backup using Nandroid, and when i find Nandroid in google i get this. But it says for G1? will it still work fine?

No, the Nandroid backup will be an option AFTER you unlock the BL and install Amon_RA's Recovery image..​

Good luck man!!
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to gather as much as i can before i get the phone in my hands. Maybe because i want to start right away when i get hold of the phone lol You have enlightened me on many points.

I was just wondering also,

I've read about apps such as Nexus Torch and SetCPU which require rooting. Are these apps aquired simply after I unlock + root from the market place? because i read about reinstall su and similar.

Sorry for the noobiness, as i've mentioned im a android beginner and not too familiar with the terms used.

I just want to install some cool apps and convert those iphone users......(my gf :D)
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
No they're not required. Rooting is really only for the hardcore phone nerd (which is probably why you're on this site!) I personally am holding off on rooting my N1 until it's fully understood on if it can be re-locked etc. If this is your first Android phone I would recommend doing some reading around on the G1 forum and understand the full capabilities of rooting your device and some neat apps.

**edit

mis-read what you said. Those apps can be obtained from the "Makin Bacon" add on somewhere on this forum. Cyanogen posted it up.
[Nexus One General] stealthchicken75:
I'm doing the same thing as this guy. I'm super hardcore about customization so I have no doubt that I'll root my phone eventually but not quite yet. Things are still a bit too new and right now there really aren't that many reasons to root (outside of tethering support IMO). If you can live without tethering for a month, then you should wait to root.
[Nexus One General] niiiick:
welcome

addon packs do a few things to your phone. the biggest things, i think, are the busybox and the dropbear installations, and the tethering apps. some modders also like to "optimize" android too. whether or not it actually works, i can't personally tell, but i take their word for it.

busybox will allow you to run some common linux commands on your android (with a terminal app i guess...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox

dropbear is an ssh server so that you can access the command line (and push files to your android) from your computer

tethering means share your cell connection with a computer to give your computer internet. i've used it in many airports, and it's sweet.

like the other dude said, the initial root will require a data wipe, but not the addons. i'm not sure if it's true for EVERY rom (i think it is) but when you first install a whole rom a wipe is required, but when upgrading to a newer version of the same rom no wipe is required. if you like to keep your sms and mms's then it's good to have some of these linux tools so you can move and replace the sms and mms databases manually.

adb is android debugging bridge. it's a part of the android sdk (software development kit) that google gives out for free and is meant to develop apps. with it you can plug your phone into your comp via USB and run all sorts of commands on it from your computer. droidexplorer is basically a GUI for the adb commands, so with ADB you can do all that droidexplorer can do. http://de.codeplex.com/

nandroid is kind of like "system restore" for android. you need to root the phone, then flash Amon_RA's recovery thingy (in one of the threads). once you're in recovery, you can create a nandroid backup (kind of like an image of your current android phone) that you can restore later. then restoring it is as simple as going back into recovery and clicking "restore".
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
wow thanks vmuch for the kind replies!

i feel like i understand the previous things i've read around in the forum alot more now!

So the question to root or not root, rooting the device would prob be the option for me as:

1) dont really want to do a wipe after a week or two

2) want cool apps such as SetCUP/Nexus Torch

One thing im wondering is whats this about paid apps and rooted devices in the market? After rooting some people cannot see paid apps or something?

Once again thankyou for the kind kind replies and i hope some other noobies like me are learning :)
[Nexus One General] finisterre:
If I buy an app (I'm thinking of the Exchange Calendar sync app) and then end up rooting and installing another ROM (say the EU ROM if it has multitouch) will I be able to get my purchased apps working again - or do you have to rebuy them?
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
If you buy an app it'll always show as purchased on the marketplace so you can redownload it - all the ones I bought on my G1 were still available when I setup the N1 for example.
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
Wait to root. Right now it's still too unknown on the "ins and outs" of this phone. When I first started rooting on my G1 and MyTouch I wiped a lot while learning things about it. Research while you wait. An OTA is supposed to come out to fix some bugs, and nobody has released any ROMs anyways. And on paid apps, Google Checkout keeps a record of what you purchase, no matter how many times you wipe Market will always have them listed in the "Downloads" Tab as "Purchased" to re-download at no charge.
[Nexus One General] niiiick:
that happened to me. i think it has to do with the fact that i rooted and turned on my phone before i even put my simcard in. i opened the market and couldn't see "top paid apps" (though i could still search for apps and paid ones would show up). after i turned it off, then put my sim card in and turned it back on, no dice, still no top paid apps.

i reflashed nexusone-superboot-1.1.img with my sim card in this time (can't remember if i wiped. i think it required a wipe) and i turned it on with my sim and voila. paid apps. so it's definitely fixable if you run into that problem.
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
thanks again for the replies :)

Im pretty up for rooting upon recieving my handset which should be by wednesday the latest (no engraving), as i ordered on friday 8th. But being the first time im quite scared to do so lol especially on a brand new phone.

But as SystmDcIn said theres too much we don't know as of yet and slowly things are becoming more and more developed as we speak.

The main issue for me is using the phone 2 weeks in and then wiping it clean :( hopefully somebody will make some cool ROMS soon which include the "addons and goodies" so the process is made way more simple.

Thanks again guys! Well appreciated!
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
I would also agree with waiting to root. I dont see the benefits of SetCPU for the N1, cuz its already at 1ghz, if it was underclocked i would understand.
[Nexus One General] AndroTMO:
I use SetCPU to underclock the device in sleep mode.

I also underclock when I am not going to be using it for long periods.

Saves battery life.
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
true true, didnt think of it like that. most people want to overclock, i shouldnt assume. you know what happens when you assume lol.
[Nexus One General] AndroTMO:
It is a bit of a travesty to do it to this device. Its like putting a Beetle engine in a Porsche.

I can't always be near a charger, and until I can get a bigger battery that will give me more than seven hours, this is the solution.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
this being my first android device i have spent hours on end on theses boards and on wiki's learning as much as i can about the phone and the platform... many of these basic questions that he asked i also had not 24 hours ago haha...

that being said, i think a lot of people are moving over to android so what if a thread got started that would answer basic questions that typically ever new user is going to have? ive yet to find a straight forward answer for half of the crap i have tried to find out and having it all in 1 place would be quite beneficial for people switching over... this could be moderated highly to keep it clean and in order?

a nice, straightforward, helpful community would be a nice touch to overtake some iphone shares
[Nexus One General] yamanote:
I see that you're from Hong Kong also- has your device shipped yet? I ordered mine on the 8th as well and it still shows not yet shipped. Was just wondering whether that's normal as most people state that the device shipped a day after ordering.
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
Sorry I am not really from Hong Kong lol I'm in fact from UK and Chinese. My Phone will be arriving early next week so whilst waiting, I am trying to learn as much as possible in case i damage my phone being a noob. lol

I agree with JHaste, i think due to the N1 and the upcoming HTC andoird devices. Alot of people will be moving over to Android in the coming 2-3 months. The questions i asked will be asked over and over and some kind of wiki,faq or android bible will be great. If anybody had the time and knowledge of basic rooting, unlocking and flashing could do such a thing it will be greatly appreciated :)
[Nexus One General] niiiick:
i think cyanogen's mod includes a backup app (titanium backup or somethin)...you'd be able to save all your data before you wiped it clean (but then you'd need the same backup app to restore it)
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I agree. My N1 is supposed to arrive on Monday and I've been reading all I can to try to find out how to do any modifications. I have quite a bit of experience doing this type of thing on multiple platforms, but I'm completely new to Android and finding it difficult to get a handle on everything. A newbie's guide would be great. I did find some good information in the Hero wiki, but there are still gaps.

I'm using a TP2 on Vodafone in the UK, it's got Windows Mobile 6.5 with the new version of touchflo with the weather on the home screen.

I've got a problem though. On my touchflo text message icon, it says there is 1 unread message, but there isnt!?!?! When I got to my messages, they are all read. Is there any way that I can fix this?

Thanks

I have had that happen to me when I had an MMS message in my inbox. It shows up in your unread message count on Manila but it won't actually display it. I think I had a draft or something show up that way too once maybe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tirupati:
I have been using the device for the past 2 months and it has been syncing perfectly with my company's exchange server. For the past 3 days, it is showing a wierd issue.

The device does not show the new messages anymore. The messages show up in my device only after I read them on my outlook or through web access. That means, the messages show up only after I read them through other means. :(

I am not sure if something changed with my company's exchange server which is causing this issue. This is driving me nuts.

Now Activesync is pretty much useless if this issue persists.

Just checking if anyone else out there know that this is a known issue and know of any workarounds? Appreciate your inputs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tirupati:
Pls do let me know if this Q has to be posted in a different forum... Greatly appreciate any insight into this. Thanks everyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tirupati:
I found the cause of this issue.

Just in case if someone needs to know this in future. Apparently this issue can only be fixed in the Exchange server end than at the device end. So good luck. :(

To all people who flashed with Gold Card method, please make or if you just did it, report your spb benchmark in order to verify if it has something to do with a general low performance profile.

Thanx so much.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] asci:
http://forum.revskills.de/viewforum.php?f=13. It seems that it would be possible to revert back to the situation before using Gold Card and that it has to do with ARM processor. I don't have the knowledge to face the kind of problems but it seems that my CPU low performance has something to do with Gold Card method used. So please help me to find out what has happend!

Thx so much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
I used the Goldcard quite some time ago.

The first effect was that my phone actually got a speed boost.

Maybe the specialists at the forum which you linked can be more helpful?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

Gold card has nothing to do with speed, it writes some code to the SD card to make your device think that it is a Service Center loader flashing a rom to your device.

this is why gold card ONLY works for OFFICIAL roms and not cooked.

your speed issue is something else. maybe your rom!!

also the HD2 has CPU scaling on it, there are many people here who have checked the speed of the HD2 CPU and found it not to be 1000MHz as advertised, but this is because the processor is in a low power state, and it scales up when it is needed to calculate something.

what rom are you using?

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] band27:
Not really related but kind of. Also look <<HERE>> additional confirmation that taking out the SD Card = Performance Gain.

Weird, I know..:o

As for the gold card performance loss, actually that sounds just as weird...:o
