[Nexus One General] charkosh:
wifi disconnects after screen sleeps, despite the fact that I have wifi to never sleep.

Ideas?

I've tried turn the setting on and off. This has happened on two nexus one's.

Linksys WRT54G WPA2.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Is something like locale turning it off ?

Is the wifi signal strong?
[Nexus One General] charkosh:
I don't have anything like locale. The hub is 10 feet away with a clear line of sight. No other devices just randomly stop working.
[HD2 General] DinoZ1:
My manila files must be corrupted, homescreen is not launching.

When I disable Sense everything else is working fine.

How can I recover my manila ? :confused:

Should I Hard reset ? (please no!!!) :(

any advice welcome

P.S I have installed maxmanila 2.9 and had no problem for a few days and today all of a sudden Sense home
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
you really need to hard reset no solution else as this problem is caused as some manila files are deleted so you must hard reset nothing else will work
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nonsoundFlux:
Where's the registry entries that dictate these? And, does this work for the Manila 3D ROM?

When I searched for this, all I found was an old tweak cab, but it won't install.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GustavH:
Hi!

I bought a third party headset off ebay so that i could use a microphone with a 3,5mm plug to regular earphones. The problem is that I hear almost nothing. At first, I thought it didn't work at all but after cranking system volume to 100% i can barely hear music (and people talking to me). Is there any way to raise the volume even more? A registry entry perhaps? If not, could someone recommend a headset with microphone and a 3,5mm plug? Probably I bought a bad headset...

Thanks,

Gustav

I'm waiting for my N1 to be delivered.

Is it me or is there a plethora of worrying issues with the N1? Reading through various forums there seems to be issues with nearly all aspects of it from screens clicking to poor performance and software quirks. I can't seem to find any more positive threads and its starting to freak me out.

How does the N1 really compare to the iPhone/comparative-phone as a complete product? Both hardware and software quality.

Honesty would be much appreciated.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Most of the hardware issues should be resolved, you should not see dust, nor clicking screen etc. Software patch is said to be coming this week or so, and should resolve most of the glaring launch issues with 2.1.

As for comparison, I think you'll find a lot of former iPhone and now happy N1 users, the hardware is VASTLY superior currently, and I've never really seen a performance issue regarding the N1, its seriously wicked fast.
[Nexus One General] TheShoura:
Theres worry

Then theres those who have their phone. They dont come on the forums much anymore like myself cus I'm too busy playing with my phone :p
[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
People with issues are much more vocal than those without.

I have had none, not one, nada, nix, zero of the issues that have been brought to the fore in here.

I must be extremely lucky or the problems aren't that prevalent and, as I've said, the few are more vocal.

[Nexus One General] Ssantos6981:
I've had my phone since day one and it has worked better than I would have thought, specially because of all the complaints. Don't pay too much attention to them, the phone is awesome and will only get better!
[Nexus One General] markimar:
I too lucked out, other than a few screen calibration re boot issues mine is running perfect! Love this baby. And the screen and speed can't be beat! Well worth the 500 some odd bucks. I paid!
[Nexus One General] psylink:
hope to order mine by the end of the week and i have felt the same way you have regarding the negativity but that still hasn't made me have second thoughts at all about getting this phone, just the "i hope this doesnt happen to me" in the back of my mind. definitly agree with others that people are a lot more vocal on negative issues and i'm sure when i get my phone i wont be refreshing the general forum 600 times a day like i am now :)
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
This phone is awesome.

You really owe it to the N1 to flash a custom ROM though. Get over to Modaco, flash the ROM with Highmem and JIT enabled... it quadriples available memory and double's stock CPU speed! I lie not!

At some point I'll upload screenies of my Linpack results before and after custom ROM flashes.
[Nexus One General] timmins:
I received my N1 the day after announcement and I've been very happy with the purchase. Solid device without any of the common issues.

If there's one thing to put your mind at ease is that on topical forums the loudest voice is usually the one that requires assistance or advice. A member that has no issues will likely remain a lurker. It's a very false impression of the landscape. Google sold somewhere around 20,000 N1s in the first week so consider the ratio of problem handsets to working handsets and how often someone will start a new thread just to say nothing is wrong. It rarely happens.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
I still don't believe that figure of 20,000 anyway. I think it was much higher. That is based on apps that were sold in the first week... an odd way to try and figure how many units where shifted, but Google wont release any figures I don't think.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I love my N1 and have no problems with it, even with it being rooted with a experimental ROM.
[Nexus One General] markimar:
I'm on cyan 5.3 with himem 2.69 and jit and it's a screamer! Lincat at 17
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Yea, I've been the same. Worried. After all this negative feed back, well the only thing really irritating me is the dust thing. Is it yet fixed on newer phones? Other than that, these other problems don't seem.. important.
[Nexus One General] mr_skot:
I replaced two iPhone 3G's with N1's.

Wife took the first one I ordered and she's a diehard Mac fan, and ever since discovering DoubleTwist on the Mac and as an Andriod app she's very happy.

My phones are all stock (even though I'd like to root 'em), for now :-)
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Waited a long time for a powerful fast customizable device like this! It easily replaced my 2 WM PPC's.
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
Why does everything have to be compared to the iphone?

Read the specs for the iphone, then the N1 and search youtube. Not too hard right?

Or maybe search the forum and read the other 1,000 post that are the same as yours?
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
+1 seconded
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
So you think they have corrected the handset and the version shipping now does not suffer from those issues?
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Mine's the launch version, -0 serial number and everything. And yet (it's been with me for five+ days), no issues. Yes, the touchscreen does get wonky sometimes when the phone's angled in a certain way, but simply holding it upright will fix it. That's the only problem I've encountered. No dust under screen, no strange force closes, etc. It's near as perfect a device as I could ever want.
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
Is there others with newer serial numbers (ordered more recently) that have noticed differences in hardware?
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
I think someone with a later serial number (-1?) reported issues with either rattling camera or dust under screen, so perhaps not.
[Nexus One General] JonInAtl:
Still completely satisfied with mine
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
I also love my n1. Replaced my tp2 and i will never look back... This phone is fast as all can be... I smoked my touch pro2 to web pages by like 6xs faster.... crazy.. I love it.
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
1 happy customer here as well

Insanely fast, no touchscreen problems, no 3G issues, no dust, no ... :)
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
Well fingers crossed I suppose ;)
[Nexus One General] :
I used to love my phone the first week I got it, then ugliness started, at first I started noticing the soft keys weren't as responsive, then 3g started switching back and forth between it and 3g, next thing I know I wake up to a rumbling thinking I have a call(I always put it on vibrate when I sleep), I look across the bed and theres my wife spread eagle with my nexus one. Now we all have herpes.

=*(
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
I love mine.

The only issue I've had is the occasional wonky screen calibration, which is resolved by turning the screen off and on again, and it's only happened 3 or 4 times in 3 weeks.

I put on the Cyanogen rom over the weekend, and have to admit I've not really noticed any performance increase - the thing was already really swift!

The only things I'm waiting for now (apart from a firmware update to fix the screen calibration) are;

1) Flash

2) (proper) Multi touch (which will hopefully come in a European rom)

3) Proper video support (CorePlayer), as I refuse to accept that I should have to convert my media in order to use it on different devices

Once I have these, it'll be perfect.
[Nexus One General] Avictus:
People are correct: users don't usually post when their devices are working, only when something's wrong. So, I'll take the time to post that my Nexus One is working absolutely perfectly. I'm coming from a G1, and the Nexus One is super fast compared to it. I have no performance issues at all. In fact, my N1 is so fast, I've shed several tears of joy during use. The battery life is in a completely different league from the G1. The only issue I have with my N1 is that it's so damn sexy, I'm afraid to touch it and get my greasy fingerprints on that gorgeous (perfectly visible in daylight) OLED screen.

In summary:

The 5MP camera (with a FLASH!) is awesome.

The screen is awesome.

The performance is awesome.

The battery life is awesome.

The N1 is just plain awesome.

The only thing the N1 is missing is a vagina.

Note: I'm running a stock N1. I haven't rooted or installed CM on it yet.
[Nexus One General] kostodo:
You need the Vagina app!

In all seriousness it sounds great and I can only hope to have the same experience as you!

Its also great to see there is already an OTA with improvements!
[Nexus One General] esincho:
I love this phone. I had issues wit the screen acting funny sometimes, but it was more me getting use 2 how I need 2 touch it. The last phone I bought was a TP2, this is my first Android Phone. Trust me, I can never go back!!
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
I've been surprised at how good the camera is. Sure, it's still not a professional camera or anything, but the quality's more than fine for casual use.
[Nexus One General] pikipirs:
Having my N1 for about two weeks now, just installed invisible shield on it.

Working perfectly fine so far </me knocks on wood>. Still unrooted, stock everything, latest multitouch/3G update applied.

Only two complaints:

android market doesn't offer paid and copyrighted apps where I live (Europe)

earphones are big and lousy, but I just modded them and they should be much better now (pictures may come soon in this thread)
[Nexus One General] iNeko:
more detail!

:) My first post on XDA! No doubt it'll be back to lurking after this! ;)

I jumped ship from a rooted G1 (Thanks to Cyanogen for making that phone awesome) to a completely stock Nexus One and I couldn't be happier. I'm also one of the people who would be more likely to have issues as I'm in the UK!

In summary for my Nexus One experience:

I'm in the UK on T-mobile

Phone went to Oxford by mistake, but that was a DHL 'issue' and they expedited it to me (great service there)

Phone has no issues (except screen calibration goes a little weird if it's on charge and held at a weird angle, but that's pretty common, just lock/unlock and it's gone) and had none before I forced OTA Update1 (except the screen calibration, same, just lock/unlock), no dust problems, and 3G was and is still perfect (and lightning fast)

Even compared it side by side with an HD2 and felt it was even more perfect, but I think it's personal preference to be honest!

And I even bought the Desktop Dock (I know, I know, but it's great!)

:) Another happy customer here, I just want some official "tricolour" trackball support and my extra RAM bank enabled without hacking it (where's my 512mb of RAM Google, hmm?)
[Nexus One General] warr3n:
Hi all.

I have extensively used a small utility on my previous Nokia phones that enabled me to copy a telephone number to the clipboard on my pc and then dial the number on my phone via bluetooth.

I have successfully paired my shiny new Nexus One with my PC although am unable to create a connection to dial the number. I suspect this may be because Android does not support file transfer via bluetooth?

It would be great to get this working as before - any ideas as to how I may achieve this?
[Nexus One General] warr3n:
Hi all

I sold my Nexus one a month or so ago (on Ebay) and the announcement of 2.2 has got me contemplating buying another!

Does anyone know if 2.2 will support bluetooth DUN (dial up networking)? If it does then hopefully I will be able to dial from my PC via bluetooth.

That and the recent introduction of Sat Nav in the UK will be enough to convince me to buy a replacement!
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
Well that was worth it, a whole 5 threads to android against the 2000+ WM ones, a split by base OS would have been better and much easier to find relivent information on said OS, WM 6.1 and 6.5 are two different OSs, only idgits are suggesting that doing so would create a "we'll have to split by sence and or brew versions next"

the OS is the fundimental difference of a ROM, the software on it isnt.

Hell id help go through them all working out what belongs to which OS if time was the problem
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Well actually there is 9 threads which will obviously increase once Android is fully up and running.

This is the first step of many exciting changes happening at XDA. A thread was created and members voted on this split.

At present I don't think splitting the HD rom development foums is more is required though this may change in the future between wm6.1 and wm6.5

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Platin465:
Is there an application that can add a slider when trying to make an outbound call? I've looked around and the closest I could find was the slide to sms in this forum. Perhaps S2U2 has a module or add-on?

I think it would be a great alternative to having a lock screen on phones, since the lock screens make it harder to get to a call unless you want to pick it up without seeing the caller ID.

With a slide to call feature, you wouldn't need a screen lock app as the phone couldn't make a call without you sliding.

Perhaps there could be a feature where certain phone numbers would be excluded from needing a slide to call, such as 911 in the US.

Just a thought, and I'm sure lots of people would get it just to stop their phone from calling people randomly.

I know there's pocketshield, but I thought this might be more useful. Plus, just yesterday I accidentally dialed a number from my call history right before putting my Touch Pro in my pocket.

Thanks for any assistance!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Platin465:
Thank you! I had not looked again since I posted this. My TP2 doesn't need it because Exchange security policies make my phone's screen lock when not in use, so no accidental starting of any apps at all. But, my wife's TP2 may still benefit. Wow, I post it, and then it comes true, albeit much, much later.

" then nothing happens after i tap the screen.

Next day, i'd try other rom, but then same happen, it stuck to " tap the screen to set up the phone to windows."

uhuhuhuh, was my phone broken?????

Please help.........................................
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:

Anyways here are some suggestions

1. If in the tap screen the screen goes white then just guess the position of the arrow and tap in middle and u will see all.

2. Or try to charge your battery then try to flash a working rom....
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] eabrillos:
jagan2,

Thanks a lot sir, what I did was I just take out the battery and memopry card for about 30 minutes, and flashed again the ROM, it's all okey now.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Thats nice. Hey but dont call me sir iam much younger than you i guess..
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] eabrillos:
Lol, Btw hope to hear new lite builds from you soon, check out Andrewsh ROM using Asus P525, latest ROM 28217, its very nice and had been using his updated ROMs for more almost 2 years.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
That type of rom i have already made and using it but it has no bluetooth coz i had to remove bluetooth for working today setting etc...

I wish that opal prob soon get resolved so that i can share rom with u all. No one is sharing the secret who have figured it out like nguoc although i have requested him lets see if he tell us or not...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] eabrillos:
Jagan2,

Okey, we'll be waiting for it.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Buddy if you have a really fast internet you can help me somewhat to fix that prob fast... check your pm...:)

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
But rem you yourself think thats not fair. As who taught them all these cooking stuffs offcourse our xda then when we are asking something why they cant share? Are we asking money to them? Just how to fix a problem that many are facing..:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joker.mn:
Hey guys,

i just wanted to know if there is a cab that hides the manila slider at the bottom of the homescreen. i already have a transparent background for that bar, but i want the icons to not to be visible.

can anyone help me?

thanks in advanced!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] key-seven:
Then edit a manila slider .cab with png files which are empty.

Use manila editor to explore an unzipped .cab and edit the images with the grafix editor of your choice. Leave the icons alpha blending blank and you have what you want I guess. Pack the files again to .cab with IZArc (including the .xml and stuff of course), move and apply. Try it. Not sure if it works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
Why would he want to go through all that if he could just load a program like Cookies Home Tab or MaxManila that would give the option to drop the slider into a hide button plus several other options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] key-seven:
Dunno. Maybe he wants to slide it but without icons. Just to have a dimmed screen with labels.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 1wingangel:
want a new splash screen but dont use adb.

any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Phateless:
In THEORY you could but I have NO IDEA whether or not this is safe so try at your own risk!!

We can flash recovery via terminal with

su
flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img

so IN THEORY we could do the same thing for splash1.

su
flash_image splash1 sdcard/splash.img

Again, I've been told that this DOES NOT WORK but I've never tried myself. It's up to you how brave you feel. I've just been wondering and would like someone who knows for certain to chime in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djkaija:
You're right, it doesn't work - I got an error (cannot find splash1 partition)

Now my phone is bricked - only kidding!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djkaija:
In case you haven't found out how to do it yet, I used Android Flasher to change my splash screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alexander7567:
Is there a way to do it via terminal? Eery time i attempt to use Android Flasher it says FAILED (REMOTE: not allowed)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] assassin82492:
If any of you are flashing whores like me ou may have to backup and restore contacts over and over again. I was wondering if there was a way to make a cab file that would restore the contacts. This would be perfect when flashing roms with shashimi or user customization.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
You can use my Export-Studio app (see Sig) which can export your Contacts as VCF files (which can be run directly on the phone and imported into Contacts)...I plan on updating the app soon to enable backup of more contact features (more entries per contact) as right now it only really does the basics.

If not, you can always google some freeware backup and restore studio specifically for PIM data. There are bundles online if I recall correctly (of course, if not you can wait a bit for me to update my Export Studio).

Good Luck :D

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Irishpride:
You could use Microsoft's MyPhone, I use it and works really good, can save SMS messages and pics as well.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] assassin82492:
I have used pim backup. Its good its just that some roms dont ahve it installed and I hate installing it. I just want one file which I can just run and it will restore my stuff
[Windows Mobile Software Development] at45:
Have a look for XML Provisioning and an app called Makisu. Of course to run the XML you'll still need to install an app, so it's no better if you don't want to install anything (?), though DotFred's Task Manager can restore the files if I remember right and that can run without being installed.

What are all the black stickers for under the battery cover that seem to cover nothing? They are lodged in the case in some places and seem to be lined with metal. I hope they weren't important.:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] JTF2007:
They may be the stickers that change color if the phone gets wet. This is how the service people tell you that your warranty is void if you drop your phone in your coffee :D.
[Droid Eris Android Development] StopReadingMyName:
No, there's a white and pink surface under the cover near the charger for that.
