If anyone else has purchased the charger dock you'll know what I mean. Who in their right mind would build a phone dock that doesn't allow for any protective case? I'm sorry but I'm not going to have a $500.00 phone unprotected! The only type of protection this dock accommodates are the zagg type skins. Anything thicker wont fit. How dumb!
[Nexus One Accessories] SANTilt:
I love my dock. Besides, it's in a dock...what's going to happen to it? Admittedly though, I HATE phone cases. Why buy a slim sexy phone, and put it in a fat girl suit?
[Nexus One Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
Do you not remember the iPhone dock? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Agree 100% with you. A case on this phone is a sin... :)
[Nexus One Accessories] pr0cl1v1ty:
TOTALLY AGREED just get zagg or ghost armour they are sweet.
[Nexus One Accessories] markimar:
It's while out of the dock that scares me! But who wants to take it in and out of a case?

I'm just anal about keeping my phone scratch free!
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
We all are bro... I use the OEM sleeve exclusively with a screen protector just for the smudge resistance. But if you prefer to not use the sleeve, then you're best bet is getting a full skin.
[Nexus One Accessories] Huey85:
Not everyone likes the 'invisible' shields / clear skins.. especially when the corners/sides start catching dust.. and they don't protect against dints, only scratches.
[Nexus One Accessories] theslam08:
Agreed x10000!!!

What is wrong with you people??? You spend ya, over 500 dollars and dont care enough to worry if 'any' possible slip might mean a gash in the corner?

Honestly I have a gash in the top corner already and when it happened I almost cried. Why pay for something and not protect it at all (with even dealable solutions)??

The skins are worth it, take it off if you really want to bash the iphone lover. Not hard.

Though the car dock better be adjustable...b.c then I will not buy that either...

EDIT: Check this one, its what I bought and I LOVE it. Excellent feeling, not too 'fat' and it WILL protect against gouges and scratches!!!
[Nexus One Accessories] imdbui:
This is obviously a personal opinion. Why would anyone design a dock to fit all the possible combinations of cases and skins instead of making it perfectly fit the actually product. I've had iphone/ipod and blackberry docks, and they were never designed to accommodate cases. What could be done, is that cases should be made to easier be adjusted to fit on docks. I've seen iphone cases that have a hinged bottom peiece so you can fit it on the docks. And are the cases out there really exposing the gold contacts at the bottom enough to even work with the dock?

Personally I wrap all my stuff in invisi-shield-like skins.
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
Cases are only good for protecting against a drop. Otherwise, I feel they usually damage the phone more than not having a case. All the dirt particles gather at the interfaces between the phone and the case (like around the screen where the screen meets the case). All the accumulated dirt scratches against the phone when the case makes slight movements from regular usage and storage.

I want to protect my phone as much as the next Guy, but using a case is not the way to do that. I rarely drop my phone.

I also don't use a screen protector at the moment but am debating getting one. From what I've read the screen is extremely scratch resistant and I'd hate to lower the clarity of the sweet OMLED screen. I do still use the provided sleeve though.
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
You don't need to read that twice. Sorry, double post.
[Nexus One Accessories] gunnner:
Doesn't anyone else see a problem with making a dock that can accommodate cases? As I see it, a dock is meant for holding your phone while charging it. To hold your phone in a stable way, it needs to make contact with it fairly snugly. Making a dock that can accommodate a case means making a "looser" dock. Meaning that your phone will rattle around if you don't have a case.

This is all the more true if you're charging via the gold contacts on the bottom - the phone needs to sit on there pretty much perfectly for that to work.

The only alternative to having a dock that holds the phone by the case is one that supports it on the weight of the USB socket on the bottom of the phone as it's plugged in. Those docks always scare me - it looks like a lot of weight to be putting on a USB socket.
[Nexus One Accessories] seeking:
what the hell are you guys doing with your phones that you need a protective case?
[Nexus One Accessories] Huey85:
Phone slips out of your hand and you drop it on concrete... etc.

Don't have to be doing anything extreme for accdients to happen.
[Nexus One Accessories] GNOve:
I cant stand people that outfits their phone with ugly ass cases.

Why would somebody do that? This phone is made of scratch resistant material (teflon coating).

to each its own but in my opnion casing this phone is pure lack of taste and sin lol

And im assuming you dont have the dock because if you did then you would see just how awesome the dock is.

Spotify, pandora, my music player all through bluetooth a2dp. ENOUGH SAID
[Nexus One Accessories] Seraph321:
while I don't begrudge anyone for using a case if they can't be comfortable without it, I just don't like them. You say you can't see having a $500 phone without protecting it, but a significant part of the $500 went towards the feel of holding the phone in your hand. The glass screen and soft coating, the rounded edges, all that is part of the experience I'm paying for. I'm not going to give that up because then it's not my phone anymore, it's some larger uglier thing with the same guts.

And btw, phones don't last forever. The nexus will be just another obsolete pos in a couple years. I probably won't even still be using it more than 1 year. It would be one thing if this was a lifetime purchase, but it's a disposable tool in the long run.
[Nexus One Accessories] altarity:
Of the people who don't use a case, how many have cracked a screen?

I remember my first iphone, my wife bought be an aluminum case for it. I had the case for about a week before I decided it was just too ugly. I had the case off for two days when my phone fell off my bed, landed on a corner and shattered the screen. Talk about regret... Before that I had an HTC 8125 where the screen cracked in my pocket.

I bought a silicon case for my nexus, and it's true it's ugly. I can agree with the arguement for keeping it nude, but then I always tell myself: "It's not as ugly as a broken phone."
[Nexus One Accessories] JanetPanic:
I do not use a case and have cracked a screen. I dropped my wizard and broke the screen. It happens; At this stage it is one screen over 5 years and change.

I can understand the desire to protect your investment but since I do not sell my phones when I replace them I am not as concerned. My phones typically do take a beating. My G1 as an example has scars all over the casing from drops, including a cracked camera lens covering, but the screen is intact.

I simply prefer the feel of my bare phone vs the added bulk of the case. I try various cases/skins but have never kept one on. The N1 will be the first time I have not used a screen protector though.

EDIT: For those who want a dock for a case with a phone I would recommend the Seidio Innodock Jr. It can accommodate a case and is fairly easy to dock (compared to the G1 docks I use) due to the swivelling usb port. Just align the USB connector with the trackball.
[Nexus One Accessories] seeking:
i have never had a case for any of my phones ever and have never scratched a screen or caused any other damage. Slip the phone in the sleeve it came with and take it out when you need it. After your done put it back in the sleeve and into your pocket. I dont have anything against people who use cases either but this phone really just doesnt need one. gorrila glass screen, and scratch resistant coating...its already in a "case" so to say
[Nexus One Accessories] JanetPanic:
Do we have any proof the N1 uses gorilla glass? I thought the same thing and someone called me out on it. I searched but could not find anything official confirming it was gorilla glass.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3bc418e9a4869ba8&hl=en

suggests it is not. Whatever the screen is it seems to be fairly resilient. I just can find no evidence it is GG.
[Nexus One Accessories] ditsch:
Hi there,

can anybody tell me if the power adapter for the dock is 100 - 240V, please?

Thanks a lot:)
[Nexus One Accessories] markimar:
I have the phantomskinz full body on now. I feel a little safer with it on. Plus it gives a little more grip so I don't feel like the phone is going to slide out of my hand. And it still fits in. The dock. But as soon as case mate comes out with naked case I'm getting it!

I think if Google had made the contacts protrude a little further it would accommodate more cases
[Nexus One Accessories] RonnieFoxxx:
i cant believe you guys are worried about scratches.

[Nexus One Accessories] mattyboy247:
I have not put a screen protector on my N1 due to that video... but after a month of heavy use... I can see multiple hairline scratches that are extremely tiny (meaning not easily seen but can be seen by cleaning screen and holding in the light).

I haven't decided if its work getting a screen cover at this point or not, but scratches WILL happen...
[Nexus One Accessories] SANTilt:
I have never bought a phone case other than a belt holster, or the cradles I make for inside my cars. I've never used a screen protector either. I've never cracked a screen.

In recent memory, I've had a Nokia N91, HTC Dash, HTC TyTn, G1, and now N1.

In the 15 months I had my G1, I dropped it twice; the first time there was barely any visible damage - the second time it got a couple scratches on the sides of the case. The screen had two barely noticeable surface scratches after all those months.

My N1 is always in, or on the ****-sock it comes with if it's off the cradle. Otherwise it's in its custom cradle in my car.

It's really not that hard, people; just pay attention to what your $500+ device is doing in your hand. Be cautious and vigilant about how you handle it, where you put it down, and it eventually just becomes second nature.
[Nexus One Accessories] garfnodie:
I have an N1 now, but I had a Palm Pre before that. The phone fell out of my shirt pocket while I was bending over to pick something up off the floor and the screen cracked right through the middle. A 2 1/2 foot drop and it broke in such a fashion as to make it unusable. Now the Pre is not the best example since it's glass wraps around all the way to the side and corners making it more prone to breaking the screen.

In my experience, my phone's always seem to slip of of my hand because of dry skin. I work at a gas station and I am constantly washing my hands, which tends to make the skin on my hand quite dry and grip resistant. I have yet to get a phone's who's exterior gives me the drip I need to keep my phone from slipping out of my hand.

I have to agree that I don't like putting a case on my phone cause it kill's the sexy factor, but I also have to agree that a ugly case is not as ugly as a broken screen.

I bought my phone subsidized (still had to save up a bit for it) and can't afford a full price replacement, so I'm to going to forgo my case-phobia and protect my shiny new N1 with a case.
[Nexus One Accessories] bmcclure937:
Google did not mess anything up besides the release dates... the Home Dock took way to long to be released after the N1 came out and we have yet to see (or even hear) anything about the Car Dock.

It is not the dock manufacturer's job to worry about accommodating cases and other miscellaneous accessories that the phone user may have on their device. I would rather have the dock as it is now. The design is nice and it is functional...

The dock holds my device nicely and works great. The case manufacturers are the ones who should be concerned about compatibility with the dock. I am not saying that there is any one easy solution to make a case work with the current docking solution (besides not using a case) but the blame should not be placed on the dock.

Reasons for a case. I would NEVER use a touch screen $500 phone without a case...

just don't drop it ;) and it will never need a case

Hi there,

Simply, I need help and advice regarding Polaris ROM's

I was looking for answer in ROM Development section many times(FAQ too), but all topics are so confusing(disorganised, confusing and uninformative) that I'm losing my sanity.

I was trying few roms(like panosha think), but unfortunately dissapointed me(bugs, unresolved issues etc.)

So what i need is quite simple in fact:

-fast, stable 6.1 or 6.5 version

-bug free or at least little bugs

-fully working radio(bluetooth, wifi, 3G and GPS)

-need default microsoft keyboard

Don't need gizmos, although nice GUI is a good point to go.

Thank you in advance.

tl;dr

Help me finding best ROM
[Touch Cruise General] alexandertheat:
go to htc support page scroll down to the bottom of the page, enter your phone's serial number and you will download the newest official ROM, with update utility included.
[Touch Cruise General] faredino:
a good rom for polaris..

It's been more than 1 year that I use the rom called 3LIT3 (FULL VERSION) on both my 2 polaris... they work very well, 3LIT3 is really a fantastic / fast/ bug-free rom. I have the "3LIT3 V FULL WWE" VERSION.. and I can guarantee for this one only. I know there are the VI, the VII and the VIII versions of the same rom, but for sure number V is absolutely perfect. Everything including bluetooth, gps, external speaker, battery, wi-fi ecc ecc is working very well, without bugs...and including footprints!!

AH I FORGOT this rom is based on WM6.1 plus manila2d of course...

You got just to update the google maps cab..and your poleris will FLY!!!.
[Touch Cruise General] Mikke23:
@faredino

thx for the tip this rom ist the best rom i´ve tested

i had m-amines, which is also nice but not as fast as lit3

i had pcars 6.5 rom, which is good but very slow (i think 6.5 is´nt the right thing for polaris)

and since a few days the lite3 VIII, which blew my mind...very very good work:eek: a pitty that he stopped working on it

so if you need a good stable rom take lit3 !
[Touch Cruise General] apemonkeyman:
How about 6.5 recommendations?

So what's a good bet for WM6.5?

Was using pcarvalho's latest (24DEC09) but it has been freezing up & generally running very laggy. My Orbit 2 is going to my wife so I need something friendly as it gets whilst also reliable & quick. WM6.1 comes over too strong on the 3LIT3 ROMs... :(
[Touch Cruise General] Mikke23:
i just tested pcars and kostas, but haven´t found a better rom then lit3, it got not the nice appearance of wm6.5, but i prefer speed and smoothnes
[Touch Cruise General] retsam88:
Tried, tested and i can confirm that.

Stable, bug free with nice gui.

Thank you.
[Touch Cruise General] mouse.co.nr:
3lit mmm, too slow for me.. too much stuff, probably many of them will never be used.

obviously you pay your many stuff with -speed!

a 400mhz processor can perform more than that, it have to, with 3lit I felt like going back to omap 201mhz ppc generation...

I have two Polaris and on both I have returned after many tries to an official 6.1 ROM, with radio updated, and tomtom7.

I think it's all what you need, a fast and crashless rom,

for me it's just all I need :)
[Touch Cruise General] faredino:
Recently I have upgraded to 3LIT3 VIII FULL ITA....

...definitely my fav's ROM!!!!!!!!!

Will thank chavonbravo for the rest of... the days of my both polaris!!

If you're also using that rom, please consider a donation to the great mind of chavonbravo!

Also..anyone has changed the rom's keyboard? i think that is the only "not really perfect" issue of 3LIT3_VIII.. but it is overall GOOD anyway

Bye everybody,
[Touch Cruise General] leo_grupo:
Hello,

I am looking for this option to download a new rom but i can not find.

Can I help me with a link, please.

Thank you very mutch
[Touch Cruise General] retsam88:
I am afraid downloads on HTC home page are no longer available. License for WM has expired some time ago.

Search on Touch Cruise ROM development page though.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
This message:

"When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC"

makes no sense to me, because as soon as I connect my HD2 to my computer, it immediately begins to charge, and I do not know any way to stop it from doing so.

What harm can this cause?

The message itself seems contradictory. Why would someone connect their HD2 to the computer when it was off? To charge it?
[HD2 General] Lake292:
nah it means that it could be charged only from usb charger (not PC) either when its on or off... when your phone is off it cant be charged through PC because it wont make connection and i think this function is made when u often connect and disconnect your phone from PC so u dont damage your battery...
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Okay, but if that is true, then why does the phone ALWAYS charge when connected to a PC if the frequent connection/disconnection could harm the battery?

The warning message is characteristically cryptic in true MS fashion.

Why not just state directly: "Your charges via USB, but disconnecting it frequently while charging could damage your battery" if that is what they meant?
[HD2 General] eskasi:
Where did you see this??
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
In the Active Sync dialogue when you connect the HD2 to a computer.
[HD2 General] somebully:
While connected using the usb cable you can press at the bar and then battery and you'll see the option. I'm also wondering if this will cause any harm to the battery.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
It won't.

This option makes sense mostly when you connect the mobile to a laptop running on battery, for tethering for example. Instead of draining the laptop's battery and end with a full one on the mobile, ticking the little box means that both batteries will drain at the same time.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
No, a PC in standby usually has power on the USB voltage lines, even when it's turned off.

This is indeed an option to prevent the phone from trying to charge itself from the USB connection. This could be useful for laptops or other devices (such as portable media players with USB host capabilities) where power must be saved instead of being used to charge the phone.
[HD2 General] azahoth:
hi guys, does this explain the new O2 ROM 1.72 NOW not charging the phone when connected to my PC? Or is it a new bug I have found.

It does charge via the power socket/adapter but not through the PC...any thoughts?
[HD2 General] Zentury:
This is an option in the HTC Sense 2.5.

Go to Start > Settings > About Phone > Battery.
[HD2 General] azahoth:
Thanks for clearing that up!
[HD2 General] pa49:
There a number of points to make.

Connecting and disconnecting your phone will do no harm at all.

Some USB ports will struggle to start the charge process when the battery is very low.

If the phone is connected and being used in some way at the same time (if WiFi or bluetooth its on then there will be a continuous drain which a USB port may not be able to accommodate and it will appear as if the PC/laptop is sucking the power out of the battery.

The same thing can happen on a low battery and this is then very bad as the phone will operate at or around the discharge cutoff point and that will ruin the cell.

So you have the option to turn it off if there its any evidence of these situations occurring.

v1.5.0.3 RELEASED !

- 14-03-2010@01:15 - DISCONTINUED

RockClock is a simple FREE Alarm Clock for Windows Phone/Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Professional devices with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (and above).

Being my first ever .NET application, RockClock started life as a simple wakeup timer…which would simply turn on my Blackstone and run another program for me at 30 minute intervals. Then a friend found a freeware font whilst browsing the web and suggested I adapted my program to be a simple alarm clock and 'RockClock' was born.

Main Features:

- 4 Alarms, which will wake the device from a standby state

- Alarm Sound selection

- Adjustable Snooze timer

- Toggle UI elements

- Countdown Timer

- Stopwatch with laptimer

- Vibration option

- Clock colour selection

- Finger friendly UI

Please leave comments or bug reports as some feedback on my first ever program would be great.

POSTS SINCE UPDATE START HERE - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5875656#post5875656

Things left to do:

- Sort the alarms on the Clock screen into time order

- Flight-Mode On/Off Option (...having issues with this!)

- Quicker settings interface

- Integration with the System alarm clock so Manila and other applications recognise when the next alarm is due (…maybe)

Tested on WVGA (Blackstone) and VGA and QVGA device emulators.

If you like RockClock please feel free to donate… and inspire me to create more apps...or simply upgrade my handset!

In the event XDA Dev's becomes unavailable a mirror of this program is available on my site, which can be accessed by scanning my avatar or clicking HERE.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mesquire:
Installed but could not run. Didn't even get an icon in Start Menu.

Tried running the EXE directly from the installed folder and I got these errors.

Tried it on:

1. Dopod D810, wm6.0 stock WWE ROM

2. HTC Touch Pro2, wm6.1 stock WWE ROM

both with .Net Compact Framework 2 & 3.5 installed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] welki1979:
Hmmm...thanks for trying it out...it seems that the program I have to package this up is a bit naff so here's the CAB for the .NET SQL component.

Hopefully that'll get it working until I sort out the packager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rbardos:
Got it working on my TP2 after installing the second cab. But I don't see how this is much different than the manilla alarm clock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mccune:
But what if you don't use Manila? And what if a person wants to develop something that started as a fun project?

Will give this app a go on my TouchPro2 running WM6.1 without Manila! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] welki1979:
For me it's nicer to look at at night when I'm charging my phone and don't have a clock in the room than looking at the manila screen which is REALLY bright when on charge.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Any chances to get this for QVGA?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] welki1979:
Sorry didn't have the device emulator installed....I just installed it and tested it and it seems to be working okay with both CAB's installed.

I've also amended the first post to say it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rbardos:
Yes good point. Would like to see touch scrolling on the setting page and maybe a snooze button when the alarm goes off.

I agree that this will look better at night with the darker color scheme.
