[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Hi all,

I just bought a bluetooth 2.1 usb micro adapter for my PC. I would like to activesync my Excalibur with my PC. So far, I am able to transfer file from PC to phone and vice versa. However, I am unable to use activesync. The bluetooth from the phone has COM6 and COM7, but my PC only has COM 1, 2, and 3. Anyone know how to make this work, please advice.

Thanks,

I save all my programs and install them on the internal drive. I am still getting a low memory warning. Are there any specific places I need to look , i.e Windows folder, etc.., where I can remove useless files? I'm afraid to delete some important things.

I have an Alltel Touch Diamond. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickschot:
Low memory warning is not about the storage where you save your stuff & apps. Its the RAM of the diamond. To solve the issue you'll probably have to install another ROM with lower mem usage or close TF3D before running your heavy apps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] point2i:
HI THERE

the program pocket mechanic solve me a lot of that issue .

after installing the prog. i removed some what of files to the intenal storage .

it did work for me just great /
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
windows folder/directory

open windows directory. goto Opera folder. goto images folder. any files that aren't jpg or png (meaning files that will have an opera logo in front of them) are deletable. If you use opera a lot and have never done this, there may be many. Also Windows/Messaging. this stores info from all emails, even when you delete, info is left here- delete all old stuff. If you feel iffy about trying any of this, create a folder in your internal storage to cut these files into, and if you have any trouble or do something wrong, you can cut/copy them right bsck (but these sre things i do to keep memory clear). Also, ClearTemp is an AWESOME HELPFUL program (and free). I think v1.21 is the latest, but after 3rd day of using it, it had recovered about 10mb of storage memory. (set it up properly, din't just hit 'clean'). good luck.

Lastly, some early diamonds (roms) had a known issue with unrecoverable storage memory, so last case scenario, update to newest official rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
au contraire. memory on diamond is partitioned 3ways (storage memory, program memory, internal storage)

when you get a 'main memory low' msg, it's usually because your storage memory (not RAM), and not program memory, has dropped to <1mb. not your operating memory or program memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
I dealt with this on my first diamond. Had to return it - it is an issue on early diamonds, known by htc (storage not erasing things it should, regardless of user settings). A search will turn up a handful of other threds on this topic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] UgXvibe:
Thanks for all the replies.. here are screens of what I'm talking about.

As you can see I have a ton of storage on the Internal but 1Mb left on Device... If you still agree that I should follow the advice above I will do that. Just wanted to clarify what I was talking about.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zampig:
thank you scottspa74

I have exactly the same problem with storage memory and what scottspa74 proposed just gave me the solution to my problem .

Thank you very much
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] UgXvibe:
Well, I also found that if you have taken a lot of pictures and video with the phone it takes up a ton of device storage. Try deleting big video files or transferring them somewhere else.

[HD2 General] richardirv:
Check this video out at 2:15. It has rain animation different to all others I have seen, its may be the same animation but just at a different angle but to me it looks like a more realistic animation to me.

See what you think... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOzNxYVCJ1M
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
See what you mean. It seems to come in from the side. I also notice that it has 3 options for wallpaper instead of 2. "Weather", "Animated" and "Picture" Maybe a pre release ROM.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
Think your right about it being a pre release ROM, I have seen those 3 options before when I had a custom ROM on my HD. I'd really like to know why the rain has changed, I think it looks much better on the video.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I do remember the "Picture" option from a pre-release ROM I installed on my HD, but don't remember the rain coming in from the side. I'm not saying it didn't though, but I wish it did now - that looks a lot nicer!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Could it be the difference between Rain and Showers? I notice when I flick through the weather page to the various pre set locations, some of them show weather that isn't on the 'weather demo' list.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I only ment the picture option I had seen before on HD ROM, the rain has always been straight down, this video is the only time I have seen it any different.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
You'd of thought we'd of seen it by now though living in the UK. Rain Rain Rain!! hehe
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Lol, well i wouldnt know, i've only had mine for a week, so all ive experienced so far is 'flurries(not in the weather demo), 'snow', and 'cloudy'.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
Hehe, fair play.
[HD2 General] fear2142:
its pre release ROM. i live in Russia and this video was half a month before selling

In my Info, Why does it show "FIDO.CA" as my operator and i clearly have another one?

If you do not have an icon for my operator why you put a false one?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] DJTJ:
Does anyone know of a Hack/crack, or app that allows any sound to be turned into a Vibration.

I have a Timer app, and I want it to Vibrate and not soundoff when it reaches zero, but I only makes sound, tired putting to phone on vibrate, but it doesnt work for that app.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How many people didnt even notice the new "bill my Tmobile account" option marketplac

How many people didnt even notice the new "bill my Tmobile account" option marketplace?

I normally dont purchase apps unless they are really valuable and awesome..(Meltus audio hack, astro, advanced task manager.)

And I went to finally buy something new and noticed that you dont have to use your credit card now, you can just bill it to your tmobile account.

I know some of you are gonna be like duhh. but it hasnt been in any changelog ive read and honestly I know there are others that havent notcied this so I wanted to let you all know.

I do have a question while reading the aggrement when you set the tmobile marketplace billing up... at the end of the aggreement it states "tmobile may retain, use, and share information collected when you download,purchase, use or install some apps, may update your app remotely, and may disable or remove any app from your device at any time."

Does the same still apply for credit card purchases??????
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
the market update (version 1660) breaks a lot of programs if you have root. i'd get rid of it if i were you.
[G1 Apps and Games] no6969el:
really how do I find out what market im on? Im using the one that was included with the "Super D 1.5.1" rom.

[G1 Apps and Games] nebrada:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market

Version will be on the top.

If you have 1660 there will be an "uninstall update" button
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I have version 1660 of the Market on a G1 running the stock T-Mobile 1.6 ROM, but I don't see any option for purchasing an app using my T-Mobile account. Any idea why?
[G1 Apps and Games] no6969el:
Thank you, if I start having issues I will do just that. But to be honest this has been the fastest responding and quickest downloading market yet for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] jerhoyet:
Never had any problems with it, plus it reinstalls itself immediately after you uninstall the update.:p
[G1 Apps and Games] Brainze:
I most certainly noticed. Couldn't buy any apps until I enabled that pay option...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Does *any* Micro USB cable work with the Nexus One?

Like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Cable-Micro-1-0m-Black/dp/B001QATRCA/

The G1 USB cable I currently use was the same price as the above, but it was actually branded as a "G1" cable.

Anyone know for sure?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yes, any micro USB cable. Heres a breakdown:

If your phone has an extUSB port, any extUSB cable or miniUSB cable will work.

If your phone has a miniUSB port, any miniUSB cable will work, extUSB would work but it cannot physically fit into a miniUSB port.

If your phone has a microUSB port, any microUSB cable will work, but no miniUSB or extUSB will work.

extUSB is HTC's semi-proprietary USB port which is simply miniUSB with an audio connector and unique socket shape.

All USB ports and cables of the same form factor have the same pinout.

MicroUSB has replaced MiniUSB and all new released portable devices will have microUSB most likely.
[Nexus One General] Ingy:
Xperia X10 miniPro connections?

Hi Folks - This is my first post and still getting used to how this board works, so please be patient with me!

I've got a similar problem regarding miniUSB leads... I've recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 miniPro... It charges via the USB port but the connector is not standard!

I'm wondering if anyone knows the pin-out of the socket and also where leads with such a connector can be purchased online?

Thanks for any help!

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
And you thought asking Nexus One owners would be a good idea? :p

Try a Sony section, someone there is bound to know.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
All microusb cables are not the same I found this out recently.

I bought a microusb "blackberry" that fit into my nexus one no problem but when I tried to use it to transfer files; windows would act like it didn't know what device it was.

Now i'm currently using a kodak microusb that will allow windows to know its the nexus one and I can I mount my phone but everything is copy write protected.

So when I get home I have to go back to my old beat up cord that wont stay in my phone until I find a suitable replacement that will let me mount and access the files.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I bought some blackberry microusb cables on Amazon for a penny back in March (yes, 1 penny each!). They work perfectly for everything. I guess somehow wondercoolguy managed to find cables that were even cheaper then mine :)
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
This BB wire fits the nexus like a glove but hates transferring information. Yes I got my wire for 1.00 from a mertine if I remember correctly....I hate that place :-)
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Afaik any micro usb cable will work. Micro usb is the new standard.

I haven't seen any charging-only cables but that is a possibility.

http://m.gizmodo.com/5389063/united-nations-approves-microusb-universal-phone-charger-standard
[Nexus One General] lenrek:
I have been using micro-usb cable for my external disk, Nexus/GalaxyS and my previously own Nokia N97. No problem for charging, transfer files or tethering. I even use old N97 charger (micro-usb connection) on Nexus One before. None of these had any problem.

Micro-USB is a standard connection, there shouldn't be a problem. If there is, it could be due to the system mainboard or mainboard's USB port itself. Try not to connect too many devices through a USB-hub that link up from a USB port of the system. If you really need connect it via a USB-hub, get those hub has a dedicated power adapter.
[Nexus One General] /rant/:
Just buy any cheap cable, it will work. I also bought two official HTC chargers for my phone as well as some random USB to microUSB cables. All work fine, just as do the cables from my Nokia phones, cameras and cables I found under my girlfriend's bed lol

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

To date, I have followed cyanogenmod's wiki and got several of his roms running. I have tried Hero Roms, (Super Slow) and am currently running Super D with 10Mb Hack.

I see most roms require an SPL or some sort. Honestly I'm not even sure what I have. I've read many stickies but really have just come up with more questions then answers.

My phone feels SLOW, constantly. I have tried 'Comcache', I've cleared and recreated my ext partitions etc.

Would changing my Radio and/or SPL help things?

Thanks!

TLDR: Most roms I've ran, the popular ones, seem to be slow. I wonder if it's because I have done something incorrectly? Will "Danger SPL or a new radio/spl" etc help me? Can I even do that?
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/1867...irst_week_of_sales_were_weak_report_says.html

Thats a ton of complaints coming out for only 20k sales.

Not being available in T-Mo stores really hurt sales. I think being able to see this screen and hold it in person would move a hell of alot more units.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I'm actually glad. I dont want the nexus one to become a fashion icon like the iPhone did.

EDIT: YOU! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE :mad:
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
awww Fuuudgdeeee

Had to be 2 new yorkers didnt it. lol

Agree with this though. Ive been saying I hope a ton of people want it but few get it. That way Google is pressed to resolve there customer service and HW issues and early adopters dont look like bandwagon jumpers for the latest fashion device.

On the flip side... I hope Google doesnt turn around and blame Tmobile. Tmo and Google have been continually bringing out Android sets I hope that relationship doesnt sour because of this.
[Nexus One General] mark925:
Actually 20k in sales for a phone that has reportedly had the vast majority of users buy the unlocked version is pretty damn good (Leo Laporte mentioned it on TWiT on Sunday)

As much as I give credit to Apple for what they've done with the iPhone, the iPhone has become the "razr" of phones.....the "Wal-Mart" of phones....
[Nexus One General] booloobunny:
The bad press on this phone is silly. It takes nothing into consideration, bends around the truth, and just sounds misinformed. This phone had a soft launch, wasn't available in stores, no television ads, and wasn't really advertised by Google until the day of it's launch.

These soft launches make an impact. Word will spread and then it will pop up and explode on Verizon. I'm not even trying to defend the device, it just makes me angry seeing so much misinformed crap popping up on the web.

"But the steep $500 Google is asking for the unlocked device and the mixed reviews the Nexus One received didn't help to maximize first week sales."

Mixed reviews meaning angry fanboys? I don't get it. The thing runs Android really well, is fast as hell, looks great, has a good camera, etc. I have no idea what people were expecting. Android has been out, and this was stated to be an Android device.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
+1

everybody and their dog has an iphone. i'd rather have something few others do
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
To be honest, and trying to be unbiased, I think these numbers are ok for Google. Here's why I say that... given the marketing channel used here (online only sales and advertising), I suspect that Google is banking on a moderate rate of sales early on, with an increase a little later. Most people like to see and touch something prior to dropping hundreds of dollars on it. I think Google is counting on the early adopters to buy the phones, and then once we have them and others start seeing and playing with them, they will start buying. In theory, this should work the same as if the N1 would have been sold in stores, except the initial sales would be lighter and the rate of sales would be steeper after the first few weeks.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
My proverbial 2 cents...

#1. It's hard for someone to drop that much cash on a phone unseen. Like others have pointed out, it's hard to sell a mobile phone without being able to "touch" it and play with it at a retail store.

#2. The N1 is one of the first handsets relatively available for purchase which has the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. I honestly think the "hacking" community for the N1 will be similar of what the G1 (HTC Dream) has seen... In other words, the HTC Passion is basically the next great hacking platform as the HTC Dream experienced.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] jagjr86:
So essentially 1 in 150,000 Americans (ROUGHLY, only considering domestic sales) are packin the N1 - Sounds like a pretty elite/exclusive group if you ask me ;)
[Nexus One General] Accused187:
Also, to add onto this...I don't think the price is steep at all. In fact it is cheaper than many other unlocked devices with lesser hardware. Also, it has been pointed out in many places that getting the unlocked version is cheaper than going with the subsidized version and mandatory plan.
[Nexus One General] kitsVA:
When a phone can be purchased only from one location and one URL only gadget freaks like us know about it's existence. Some of my friends who think they are gadget freaks were shocked to see my phone over the weekend. They didn't even know about it yet. Forget the common man. Unless, the phone is sold in T-mobile, and B&M stores, it will be hard to sell like Driod.

Except for lousy T-mobile 3G inside buildings, I love this phone. But I am seriously thinking about returning just to go back to AT&T as I would like to stay with the best GSM carrier who gets most unlocked 3G phones so I can keep changing my phones every few months.
[Nexus One General] SylencedOne:
I agree. This seems similar to Gmail when it was in Beta....and Gvoice. Only certain people had it and it was invite only. This seems to make a launch more manageable (less volume) and the inital adopters are the ones who typically want it the most and spread the word to others for free.
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
I want one... I just don't want to pay $530 to be a beta tester. I think once the 3g issues are solved we'll see alot more people pay for the phone
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
once Verizon and vodaphone get this phone. Sales will SKY rocket.
[Nexus One General] atlp99:
Instore sales

The only way for a big change in sales would be to sell the Nexus One in stores, mainstream buyers are not going to spend premium money on a handset that they can not handle first.

There are not enough early adopters and tech heads like most of us on this site to make a major impact on sales. Plus many of us are holding off to see how the 3G issue gets handled before buying.
[Nexus One General] tommy96814:
since they didnt really air commercial for the phone and it is only available online. the numbers are pretty good.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Yeah... Putting the parts together... probably costs more than the parts themselves, including labor.

Sure, I could get the "parts" for my car too for less than a quarter of what it sells for... I wouldn't want to try to assemble it though!

I still have people ask me when its coming out when I show them mine, this phone is still very "underground"
[Nexus One General] droiddv:
Can you send me a link to where you found out the hardware only cost $175 for the nexus one. I would like to see how much the snapdragon proc costs, and the 512mb of ram, and all the other components in the phone, and just the cost of putting it together.

And I am not referring to licensing, manufacturing, advertising, shipping, Government Taxes, etc.

Just the hardware and the costs to put the phone together. I call bull**** on the $175 dollars.

That is how much it might cost to put together the iphone 3gs with much cheaper hardware. But the Nexus One hardware is another story. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
http://www.isuppli.com/News/Pages/Google-Nexus-One-Carries-$17415-Materials-Cost-iSuppli-Teardown-Reveals.aspx

They quote the CPU/DSP @ $30.50 USD but I'm sure that's unit price based off lots of 1K or 10K.

Cheers,

[Nexus One General] kolyan:
mixed reviews because the phone has too many issues and yet the phone has been released. Lots of people have touchscreen issues, light sensor not working the way it should, problems with alarm clock, ****ty 3G connection on T-Mobile network......When all that gets fixed, the reviews will be better.

I am pissed because i paid $565 for a phone and it looks like HTC with Google didnt care enough to find all those problems with N1
[Nexus One General] awesomeindeed:
20,000 is decent when you take into account most of the phones sold were unlocked at full price and the only advertising that was done was by word of mouth and the web. Really only people that followed tech/geek sites knew anything about it.

Once people start seeing it in person I think those numbers will rise. The phone truly is refreshing to use coming from traditional smartphones.

Just ignore this tool till Mikey bans him. If you search for his posts, every single one of them in this forum is exactly the same... waaaah fail-phone... waaaah why is this T-mo instead of AT&T... waaaah Google ****ed up cuz I can't have this phone cuz my parents won't let me cancel my AT&T plan... blah blah blah.

[Nexus One General] JHaste:
only time will tell chaps, only time will tell

i think google did the right thing doing this "soft release" of the phone... most of the people who bought it are techies and paid full price... as a phone company i would rather release a phone to people who are going to run amok with the thing and figure out all its flaws before i mass market a half-assed product to people who are not tech savy... the droid has errors and most of the people who i hvae seen with one dont even know what the Android OS is... i say oh nice you got an android phone, how are you liking it? and they are like no dude this is the droid not the android... /facepalm

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Isn't that what the whole dogfooding process was for though? I don't think the phone should have had the 3G, FC's on Polar Clock, and dust issues that it's been having if they tested it themselves properly.

all i know is, once a few people see just how sexy this phone is, it's gonna blow up. i already have a few people sold on it, and they've only seen it through skype, with me waving things at them
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I've said this before... but it's obvious that this is what Google planned. Early adopters buy the phone... show it to others, and sales ensue.
