[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sopenco:
Yes, if someone wouldn't mind passing me a spare nandroid backup, I'd love to give that a whirl.

I have been wiping before all flashes - everything right down to battery settings and tilt or whatever. I've formatted and partitioned multiple times with the recovery, xp, and even gparted a couple of times - no dice. :(

Lesson learned - nandroid backups good. Quasibrickage - bad.

I'm going to look into the sappimg.nbh bit tomorrow morning at work. That sounds like it has potential too!

Thanks again all!

*** djlman, the sappimg.nbh did solve my problem, the phone is back from the dead and my marriage is saved (it's my wife's phone). THANK YOU!
[Nexus One General] BORNCOUNTRY:
first let me say im coming from a iphone 3gs and i went with the nexus one with tmobile and i dont think i will ever look back.so to my question,i have advanced task killer and when i open it to close down any apps that are running there is allways apps running i never opened.is there a way to stop the apps from opening that were never opened?
[Nexus One General] rookie1082:
I'm not sure how to do what you are asking, but I will chime in with this little thought. Task Killer programs are a waste for the Android OS. I recently migrated over to Adnroid and was all about a task killer... But I realized that they are not needed. I haven't used a task killer for about 2 weeks with the Nexus and have not had one force close due to memory shortage.

You want most if not all of your RAM used on your Nexus One, because what's not being used, is being wasted. At least that's how it was explained in my eyes. It's not like a PC where you will notice a slow down if you start running low on memory. If i'm wrong about any of this someone please correct me.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Come on man.. there is at least one, but I'm pretty sure more, threads about this already. This is normal with Android, and it dynamically manages the RAM as needed... so when it gets to a particular threshold of remaining RAM, it will kill apps itself.

Hi all,

Is there a

StandbyModeOn.exe

StandbyModeOff.exe

program or a script, or a registry parameter,

to turn ON/OFF the standby/sleep mode of WinMobile ?

Thanks for your sharing this info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ilyabyk83:
Hi all. I have Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile, my problem what is common, when in threaded view for text messages, it alerts me (by vibrate or an alert sound) when I SEND a message. However, when I receive one it does not. How do I fix this? I want it to notify me with a sound and/or vibrate that I have a new unread message in that threaded view from the contact that I am having a conversation with. PLEASE ask me if you do not fully understand my question, and I would be glad to try to explain it a bit better for you. Thank You people.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bdfx69:
Same issue yesterday -

I rebooted the device and sound / notification was back, working as intended.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ilyabyk83:
My sound is off %99.1 of the time. I have it set to vibrate usually. I only get notified (with a sound or a vibrate, depends what is on) about the very first message I get. And when I open it, since I have TouchFLO enabled, the messages are in threaded view. And I have no way of knowing I have a new unread message in that conversation unless I look at it. It does not notify you anymore, only that very first time.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
So I was checking out a Nexus One video on Youtube... and what do you know, but thanks to Google AdSense, I see this... :D

Edit: www.google.com/phone/

Just click on "Get your phone". The price is $45. Overnight shipping with Fedex is $10, but Ground is free. Tax came out to a little over $3 for me.
[Nexus One Accessories] mer6:
Well that was a good catch. Nice :}
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Awesome, can't wait! :cool:
[Nexus One Accessories] diversificationied:
Are you kidding me? The dock won't have rca built into it?

Instead an adapter is included? what the balls....
[Nexus One Accessories] diversificationied:
Why would they put a headphone jack on a dock for something that already has a headphone jack?

This is gonna be like the home dock for the droid. A glorified usb cable.
[Nexus One Accessories] cquel:
so two people can listen to music :p after all it is a social friendly phone!
[Nexus One Accessories] phiber23:
The point to a dock is once you put it in you are done. Think of a laptop dock. Sure your laptop has an ethernet port, power port, and usb but it's alot easier to just put it in the dock and go.

But, unless the dock does video I probably won't be getting it. The car dock I'll probably get though.
[Nexus One Accessories] shmigao:
an audio jack would be awesome and something i was looking for for the G1 originally, but no..., i want to charge the phone and at the same time listen to the music on it.

yes, Nexus One has a separate audio jack on top, but who wants to have a Nexus One sitting in the cradle and a cable goes out of its top all over the table to the speakers? cable out of cradle to speakers

perfect
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
+1 man... I want to be able to plug it into my stereo to stream Pandora, etc., or to put it on my nightstand and use my phone as my alarm clock/weather center/news station. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Tortri:
I thought about waiting for the dock but decided to buy a generic mount(kensington). Partly because I already have a bluetooth speaker to put in my car that can also go over fm. Also judging by the picture I won't get horizontal video recording, only vertical. Seeing that I like to record my car trips, this doesn't help me any.

Being that google would have to make this dock for everyones car I think the device will hook up to the phone and transmit itself to the car via bluetooth or FM, (not everyone's car has bluetooth or a usb connection) and just power off the cars lighter, everything will go over the cars speaker system unless the dock has a speaker in it(doubt it). And I wouldn't put my trust into the phones speaker while its facing the windshield. Also I don't like talking to someone if the dock will be transmitting over FM, that means anyone else listening on the station you are using will be listening in on you. That of course is assuming the dock doesn't have a speaker itself.

edit. Just realized this is for the Desktop Dock, not the car dock. D'oh
[Nexus One Accessories] philaldred:
Ive just noticed the dock on sale at www.google.com/phone.

$45! Im in the UK and was going to buy it, but they want another $30 for delivery, might just wait for the car dock so I can order both and save on postage!

EDIT::

It now seems to of disappered :s

mabey i should of ordered it!
[Nexus One Accessories] philaldred:
Here's proof!
[Nexus One Accessories] rossiscatch:
I just looked and it was up for me also. I more interested in the car dock myself...
[Nexus One Accessories] joners:
yeah just saw the same thing hopefully these can be copied pretty easy, seems like it should be the sort of thing you can get on ebay.

I thought it had Bluetooth streaming music though. still more interested in the car dock myself
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
It does stream music via bluetooth. When you first use the dock, it automatically pairs with your phone. If you have the phone hooked up to your stereo, it streams music via bluetooth to the dock, and into the stereo. :)

I just checked the User Guide pdf that you can download by clicking "Learn More" under the Dock on the purchase page. See link below:

http://www.google.com/googlephone/nexusone-desktopdock.pdf

Edit: Anyone think the price will come down on this at all? I was kind of hoping for a landscape dock, but I'm digging this. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
I don't think the price (which is not bad) will come down anytime soon from google. Also, would like a landscape dock but this does look very cool :cool:
[Nexus One Accessories] InGeNeTiCs:
I, for one, am very pissed the way the bluetooth is setup in the dock. When people first caught wind of the fcc filings for the dock and realized the dock had bluetooth, people were confused. It was thought that the dock would connect to a bluetooth stereo of sort, that way you can just slip it in and it would all work.

I have a little bluetooth stereo and this situation would be ideal, but that's not the case...

I'm just having a tough time understanding how this is supposed to work? I have to manually connect to my bluetooth stereo every time I want to use it now, I don't really want my phone connected to my dock when it's not in it. The user guide doesn't really specify exactly how this is going to work. Can someone who gets this confirm it?
[Nexus One Accessories] Huey85:
omg do want! Gotta wait to get it imported to Aus though :/ c'mon eBay!
[Nexus One Accessories] tyoma_first:
Why do you need to connect your dock to a stereo via bluetooth if you can do that right from your phone? ;) And not everybody have wireless audio at home. So I think it's a good idea when the dock is connected to your home stereo (even via wires) and you streaming your music wirelessly to the speakers through the dock.

I am also interested can I pair this dock and my laptop, so that I can stream wireless music not only from the phone, but from laptop too?
[Nexus One Accessories] xManMythLegend:
Dock doesnt do data either.

Weird little dock. Was hoping for a landscape model. Dont like this.
[Nexus One Accessories] j_r0dd:
if you read the pdf for the dock it says it does not transmit data and should not be plugged into a computer
[Nexus One Accessories] tyoma_first:
I don't want to plug it to computer, I wjust ant to pair this dock to my laptop via bluetooth just to play music from laptop, not for data transfer or any other stuff...
[Nexus One Accessories] austinwsj:
Will this even accomodate any cases? Interested in the Seidio Innocase or the TPU ones off ebay.
[Nexus One Accessories] Abbsta:
It looks smart:

http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html

But I don't fancy paying $30 for shipping for it so I'll wait for the car dock and get them shipped together me thinks.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Doesn't look like it... plus it uses the dock connectors that most cases cover up.
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
I just tried to buy one and did not work.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
What did it say?
[Nexus One Accessories] InGeNeTiCs:
I can connect it directly, but I have to manually go into bluetooth settings to connect it. It would be nicer to have the dock autoconnect when my phone is in the dock. Whatever though. I'll live.
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
Ordered successfully - Looks quite nice
[Nexus One Accessories] Slimgym20:
They probably realized that you were an existing tmo cust, which would disqualify you for that price or purchasing. Only new customers please :D
[Nexus One Accessories] :
Adding a y-cable for stereo use is so retarded.
[Nexus One Accessories] droiddv:
I just ordered mine. 50 dollars with the fed-ex 2 day overnight. I heard it might not be the best dock in the world. I guess I will find out soon enough. I am just happy it is going to use the gold contacts on the bottom vs the micro usb. I really want to get the car dock. :p
[Nexus One Accessories] angel-78:
Ordered mine earlier today, stuck with the free ground shipping. Should get it in a few days I figure. I will replace my alarm clock with it.
[Nexus One Accessories] Slimgym20:
I wonder if it will turn off the lights on the bottom buttons. They make it to bright for me to use as an actual night clock - or is this possible already and I just don't know how?
[Nexus One Accessories] Henchman:
Get LED hack on the Market.

Allows you to turn off the LED s.
[Nexus One Accessories] adboxz:
could u review more?
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
When it gets here I'll definitely add more detail. Standard ground shipping so will likely take a few days.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrotherG:
No data transfer? i dont understand why you cant charge it using a computer either.
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
This may be due to the output power of USB. USB is going to output 500mA where as the wall charger should be closer to 1A. If the dock is running its own BT radio and other hardware then the 500 mA supplied may not be sufficient for charging the battery as well as powering the dock, or it may be supplying a significantly lower charge due the draw of the dock to the battery than is recommended/useful for the battery.

So, it may "work" if someone tries it, but they may not recommend it or even suggest doing it for the overall health of the battery (speculation).
[Nexus One Accessories] chapelhill:
$30 shipping to the UK

Anyone know how if you can buy two desktop cradles at a time. The shipping for one off is $30 to the UK which is a bit steep, but would be ok if it was for two. This would also be agrevated if they charged for VAT as they normally have an admin charge of between £10 and £15 which they would likely levy on both orders if I ordered them seperately.

I ordered two Nexus's but was prepared to pay that as the shipping seemed reasonable for an expensive item. So far there was no import duty levied so I got off lightly, but for the desktop dock that would be too much of a risk. 9The two phones were ordered on after the other but one phone arrived about 4 days before the other. Both dprevious eliveries went on extended trips around the UK before arriving at the right destination.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Chapelhill
[Nexus One Accessories] tyoma_first:
Got some questions to you :)

- will it play alarm ringtone through the audio? Just curious, but it would be nice to wake up every morning because of loud speakers (and also wake up my neighbors, he-he :) );

- does it support multipoint? So can I pair it with more devices than a single phone or is it working with the Nexus only?

Thanks ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] Seraph321:
I've heard several people mention a car dock. How sure are we that one is coming? I ordered the desktop dock, but what I really want is this same functionality built for the car. In the mean time, I plan to use this dock with an inverter, but if there's no equivalent car dock on the way, I'll just buy a second of these.
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
Car Dock Info straight from google: http://www.google.com/support/andro...uide.cs&guide=27201&topic=27232&answer=168569
[Nexus One Accessories] SilentMobius:
Just so everyone understand what this is (because I'm seeing a lot of confusion here)

This is a charging doc that does _not_ use the micro-usb port on the bottom

The whole point is that constantly pluging/unpluging a data cable will eventually wear out the connector, hence it uses the copper points on the bottom, those will almost neaver wear out. But there aren't enough points for data/audio/etc (nor would it be easy to do). Hence the dock has built in bluetooth to get audio from the phone to the doc (where you can connect your stereo) without wearing out any connectors.
[Nexus One Accessories] JanetPanic:
I believe you but why not? USB uses 1 pair for data, a ground, and a positive voltage feed. I am no EE but if you have a ground as one contact could you not charge through the data pair assuming transmission was differential signaling? As I understand it this is how power over ethernet works.
[Nexus One Accessories] droiddv:
Yes this uses bluetooth, and then a cable to get to your speakers. The bummer of it is, it is a glorified nightstand charger. "NOT A DESKTOP DOCK" No Data pretty much in my eyes sucks. Yes I bought one, then realized it didnt do data. I would have not bought it had I known.
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Thanks for the tip, No data is a deal breaker for me! So I'll keep looking for another dock...
[Nexus One Accessories] cliffy15:
ugh! i wish I had read the .PDF for the dock more closely before I ordered mine!

"Warning! The dock power port does not transmit data. Use only the supplied charger. Never connect the dock to a computer."

Oh well... it'll still be nice to have the stand for it, though...
[Nexus One Accessories] Joyrex:
I really hate the fact that it's not landscape.. I'll wait for a video review or two in order to see if it's something i'm going to be willing to drop that much money on.. should have been free with the phone =]
[Nexus One Accessories] SilentMobius:
These are spring loaded contact points, with 2 points you are almost guaranteed that both contacts will mate simply due to gravity. If you only care about the initial mating and less so about continued contact then you can just about work with 3 contacts. any more and you looking at serious potential alignment issues (unless you make it a clip in dock) USB needs 4 connectors minium (and an outer charge sink on the shield) and another 3 for stereo audio (you almost never use the same ground for transmission of a digital and analogue signal). Thats 7-8 points on the bottom (and the potential to zap static straight into a USB data line)
[Nexus One Accessories] archboy69:
Just got mine this morning!

It is very shiney, has good weight and comes in the same type of box the phone did with the google colors around the bottom. I would post images but can't figure out how to do it?!?
[Nexus One Accessories] Julant80:
Got mine delivered this morning, and it's great.

Just the right size that you don't hardly notice it, and holds the phone at a good angle for easy viewing from around the room.

Too bad network connectivity is down still... really want to test streaming music to see how it works!
[Nexus One Accessories] ctnguye3:
I received mine this morning. Here are some pics, ENJOY:)
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
So is the included charger also microUSB? Looks pretty nice, IMO... I'm waiting for the car dock so I can buy them together. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] ctnguye3:
Yes, its looks like the same charger as the one included with the Nexus One. I'm using the charger included with the phone to power the dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] archboy69:
I think is a nice dock. I've notice though and I'm not sure if it is because of the skin I have on the phone doesn't sit correctly in wise so it doesn't charge. I've place a small piece of clear plastic wedge on the back of the dock and it works fine. Anybody else seeing that 'fit' issue?
[Nexus One Accessories] sinbonders:
Looks cool, but $45 is way too much for a charging cradle. The bluetooth is really just a novelty I wouldn't be using often.

If I want to use a 3.5mm to RCA adapter, I'll use one that I bought for $3 and plug it into my phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] adam18488:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpCJ_gSMZps

Found a vid on youtube that shows the dock quite nicely.

As much as i want one the dock is pretty lame. Once seeing the video you guys may also share my concern with how easily the phone can fall out the dock.

Don't think ill ever be able to justify paying $45+del to my conscience!!
[Nexus One Accessories] droiddv:
Yeah mine is coming today. I am definitely not impressed. It is simply a phone cradle. Well spoken, nice stand and all. I don't believe in leaving the phone charging all day, it cant be good on a battery. I always thought you needed to charge you phone all the way up and then run it all the way down before you charge it again. In the past that is what gave people longer battery lives doing it that way. I have heard that the technology has changed and it doesn't effect the battery leaving it charging all day. It just doesn't seem right to me. I have had several items I left charging for days, then when I finally used the items the battery only lasted a couple of minutes vs several hours. For instance my electric razor, and a portable car vacuum, and a cheezy cell phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Those would all be using older Ni-MH batteries, as opposed to the Li-ion batteries used in modern electronics, including our cell phones. In contrast to Ni-MH, deep cycling Li-ion batteries (i.e. discharging them past ~30%) on a regular basis will actually reduce battery life in the long term, as it generates more heat on discharge and charging cycles. You're much better off topping off the battery frequently throughout the day (if possible), but at least nightly.

Anyway, that being said... this stand is what I've personally been looking for to place on my nightstand. If you decide not to keep it, I'll buy it if it works out cheaper than buying directly from Google. ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] sctx:
The biggest disappointment here for me is that it has no data. I know there may be very serious hardware reasons behind that (gold contacts probably are not the best way to transmit data :P) but I don't see the use in spending $45 to charge my phone just like I could without the dock.

What I wanted out of it was to have it sit on my desk standing up (just like it does) but with DATA. I want to come home, set down my phone, and be able to sync it on there, etc.

edit: http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CRJHNX1-BKC This seems like it might be a much better way to spend your money. Anyone know anything about this dock?
[Nexus One Accessories] student.driver:
And sync the phone to what, exactly? It's syncing through whatever data connection it can get already, so it isn't going to do anything else. However, what I like about it is how the phone behaves when docked and removed. I got mine, and I think it's great. I like how it enables Bluetooth, paired by itself, and gives you the option of routing all audio through the attached speakers. Also, I like that it launches the clock app which is pretty nice. I had a regular "prop" type of stand and ran that application manually, but I love this stand. I also dig how it pauses the music, disconnects from the dock via BT, and returns you to the app you were running. Very sweet.
[Nexus One Accessories] :
Having access to your sd card would make this worth the $45.

But alas...
[Nexus One Accessories] drpfenderson:
The only concern of mine is the ability to use a body skin (like Phantom Skinz, or BestSkinsEver) and still have it be able to fit in the dock. Does anyone have any input on this? Using the dock with a body skin?

Also, as some people are mentioning, this is an overglorified USB-music playing dock. But the key for me is the gold connectors rather than the USB plug. Plugging/Unplugging the USB EVERY NIGHT seems a bad way to keep your phone in tip-top shape. Having it just sit on the connectors seems a much better solution.
[Nexus One Accessories] student.driver:
Interesting, but you wouldn't be able to pick up the phone and go (you'd really want to eject the card from the OS to avoid possible corruption). The best way to do that would be via Bluetooth, but we need FTP hosting profile to work on non-rooted devices. I imagine that will be sorted, but for the most part my "workflow" for getting files on the device isn't helped or hurt by the dock. In addition, I'm not a huge fan of having to line up such a small connector to dock all the time (easier with a much wider connector, like Apple's dock connection). If the car dock is similar in concept to this, I'll order one of those too. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
I got my dock. I like it. (how's that for a detailed review).

When I set it up initially, I did not check the box that allows you to play all audio through external speakers, but now I want to play music with external speakers and I can't figure out how to modify the settings.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Seidio makes good quality products..generally speaking. But that cradle adds no functionality over simply plugging your microUSB cable into the phone and a computer. Waste of money, IMHO.
[Nexus One Accessories] DebauchedSloth:
Settings/Sound. There's a dock setting in there.

I got mine too. Very, very nice device and absolutely worth the money to me.
[Nexus One Accessories] markimar:
I purchased one and just thought of something! Those who have one do the contacts on the charger protrude far enough to have a hard case? I never thought to check that!
