I have CMbeta4 with new google addons and new MT. Everything is working well except it takes longer to find satellites and it seems more difficult than before when I am indoors (gps signal appears weaker).

I want to flash the new radio image using the .zip version modaco has.

Will I have to wipe at any point before or after flashing the new radio image and then all the stuff I have currently? Will flashing the new radio image require a wipe? If it does, I really don't want to do it right now.

Is there any difference between using Cyanogen's radio link on the OP with fastboot, versus using the modaco update.zip recovery flash version?
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
1. gps isnt supposed to work inside!

2.flashing the new radio image wont require wiping. but it will require patience :)

3 the difference is only the method of starting/flashing the install. i used the .zip myself, through the recovery of course. use whichever method you prefer.
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Nice, thanks.

I will walk outside of my lead box house to test my gps next time then.

UPDATE: I flashed the new radio image in recovery using the zip version. First it took me to the screen with the android coming out of the box, then to the boot screen with the X, and then back to recovery where it said "formatting cache". I let it sit for 10 minutes and nothing was happening, so I hit reboot in recovery since the recovery menu scrolling was active. The phone booted up fine.

I checked "about phone" in settings and I had the new baseband version (radio) as written in my signature. I also still had CM5.0 b4, the new Google bits, the new MT addon, my black bar morph, and auto rotate home screen. Excellent.

I was expecting to have to re-flash CM b4, new google addons, MT addon, black bar morph, and auto rotate home screen after updating the radio, but I did not have to.

Everything is working fine. No FC on voice search or anything else that I've tried so far (incluiding Wifi Tether). GPS works fine, but I thought I was able to find satellites inside before, but now I cannot. I might just be misremembering the gps inside condition though.

I went into terminal and typed "su" and I got no errors. I'm not sure if that was a sufficient test for still having super user root.

No wipes were needed at any point.

Do it!

So how's the multitouch on this? Is it the smooth one from the ota update?
[Nexus One Android Development] Iman07:
amazingly smooth! better than iPhones multitouch thats for sure!
[Nexus One Android Development] Bamdroid:
I'd hafta agree...I used an iPhone for a few months before the G1 came out. And THIS multi touch is far smoother than the iPhone's...almost like its attached to your fingers..lmao:D

Ive noticed with the new radio that GPS either takes a few minutes to lock, or locks on instantly. Outside too.

What have you done to your phone so far?

You have unlocked bootloader, and superuser root access?

Do you have Amon Recovery 1.5.3?

What was your last ROM?

What caused your issue? And what exactly is your issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] Mi|enko:
Here's a weird one...

If I open "Maps" it opens as normal. If I copy the shortcut to the desktop, it opens like normal. . .here's where it gets weird. . . If I create a shortcut with BetterCut then open it, it still opens but gives me an error saying "unable to load url". Kind of a new one on me.
[Nexus One Android Development] wishmaker738:
i think it would be great if you trace your steps here and the experts will certainly be able to guide you.

work back to how you unlocked your virgin phone and thereafter what you did and the messages or error you got.

I'm seeing the exact same thing.
[Nexus One Android Development] the jeffster:
If you HAVEN'T flashed the 5.0 ROM from Cyanogen and you get the OTA update DO NOT flash after you have updated, I did and I had to find a recovery image to get the phone working.

If you have the RA recovery image and a back up of your system prior to the OTA you should be OK, I didn't and th ephone was stuffed.

I now have the 5.0 ROM installed and it flys, however I still haven't gotten tethering happening on the MacBook OSX and Market Enabler doesn't seem to work.

Anyway still loving the N1

Anyone having exchange push email problems?

I don't know if this is because of the CyanogenMod, because I flashed it 2 days after I got the phone :D

The problem is that exchange push email is not working (or, better, working rarely). Sometime I get mail notification instantly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes not at all (until I do a manual refresh, which, btw, sometimes just waits and gives a server connection error). I know my exchange server is fine, because I never had problems like this with my iPhone or my Mac.

Any help would be appreciated...

I do not root my phone yet, do anyone try that before?

[Nexus One Android Development] 3Shirts:
I'll reply before you get flamed too badly. Please re-read the very first post or anything from the last 10 or so pages!

No, the official update will not arrive over the air if you are running CM5. You can install the new multitouch-enabled google apps by flashing the ERE-27 multi-touch patch and passion-gapps in the first post

Hi,

If I install this version successfully and after few weeks a new version of this ROM become available; will I lose all my contacts, sms, .... by installing the new version or it is possible to just update the current one without losing the settings and contents?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] seanowns:
One, Your contacts are managed through google.com. You cant lose those wiping. In most cases, if you someone puts an update out to their specific ROM, you will not need to update. If you switch to another person's ROM, you must certainly will have to wipe. I would imagine a major overhaul cuold require a wipe as well.

Titanium Backup in the market will save all of your data though, so even on a wipe you can avoid the pain of re setting up the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] lobster1:
My N1 stops while booting.

I tried to get the CyanogenMod for my N1 (bought without contract)(updated with the multitouch update from google).

I folowed the steps in this guide androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/

I did run into a problem near the end of the guide " Type ‘adb reboot recovery‘ to reboot the phone into recovery mode. (The recovery screen says “Android system recovery” with green text on black background)". I did not get this to work so I put the CyanogenMo 5.0 onto the phone and renamed the file to upgrade.zip, then booted the phone and went into recovery mode.

The system recovery completed the upgrade and I restarted the phone.

The only thing that happens now is that the animation loads and loops.

What have I done wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

Sorry for the crappy english. I've just returned from the hospital after a surgery and I am probably influenced by all the drugs they gave me.

Cant boot in to recovery

Hi, I have unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed Amon ra - recovery

and now just want to flash this Cyan 5.0 ROM but I cant boot into recovery... it just hangs on the exclamation mark and little android!

Have I done something wrong?

I installed official update yesterday, thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
How are you trying to boot into recovery?

The standard method for those without the RA image?

If not, boot into fast boot: Start phone holding in track ball.

When the androids pop up - choose boot loader should be second option - get to it with the volume button - push power button to select.

It should now load your sd card, (may take a second) then have some new options.

One of them should be recovery. Use volume to navigate to it, power button to select it. It should boot into Amon Ra recovery with several options now controllable by they track ball.
[Nexus One Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
Did you do a Nandroid Back up?

Can you use ADB tools on your computer?

Do you have Amon Ra recover image installed?
[Nexus One Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
From experience, and a several issues, I highly recommend Titanium. It is awesome. It will save you tons of time. I think I may have wiped 3 times today trying to figure out why I lost 3g.

Nandroid and Titanium are going to be your best friends playing with Beta Software on your New 600$ toy!
[Nexus One Android Development] viperman78:
Thanks, I did that but instead of loading my sd card or doing anything else after selecting recovery I just see an exclamation mark and android??

I used superboot to flash the recovery image onto the phone and it said OK in cmd so I assume that went correctly.

Something else must be wrong... have also noticed I can no longer download apps from the market, just hangs at authorising!
[Nexus One Android Development] ruZZ.il:
you say you installed the official update yesterday? I'm not sure how that fairs up with recovery image and what not already being on. I'd try flashing the recovery image again and loading CyanogenMod rom, etc..

What do you mean by installed official update??

If you want to go back to stock image, there are instructions somewhere.. but it's not directly related to this thread.

Uninstall the applications again one by one and soft-reset after each.

Sooner or later the crash won't happen and you know which application caused it.

I keep getting the same crash, don`t have any of the programs you mention. I think it started after installing the HTC patches. Also now getting problems downloading me email since new radio installed with patch.

you dont need to install adobe flash lite.

Yeah, I know this way, but I prefer if anyone know the bug before take this way.

[Nexus One General] kitsunisan:
I've just had my fifth N1 wake-up coma in about 6 days. I'm calling HTC tomorrow for a replacement, just wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this happen to them. I put the N1 to sleep, either by tapping the power button or by letting the screen time out, and when I hit the power button to wake it up, nothing. I know its still on because the trackball still flashes periodically, telling be to check mail. The only way to get it back is to pull the battery. My phone is stock, locked bootloader. I've wiped it a few times, even wiped from the boot menu, no effect.

Btw, if anyone is concerned about getting refurbs with this, I spoke with an HTC rep today about it, she said the reps have been told that every replacement phone going out is brand new, this early in the phones life, there aren't many refurbs to be had. She pretty much guaranteed a new unit, but the reps could have been told to lie through the teeth about it. :rolleyes: Either way, anything I get less than perfect goes right back until they get it right.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
This is the first I've heard of this, but while it sounds like a one-off problem, that's definitely an aggravating issue. Try Volume Down + Trackball + Power for forcing reboots though.

Edit: Regarding refurbs, I've heard of a few being received so far, but I also heard that a surplus of some 120,000 unsold working units have just been alotted in the US for distribution by HTC.
[Nexus One General] chrisoyh:
I have the exact same coma issue described here. I have already sent mine back to HTC's service center, and apparently, they are going to do a one for one swap for me.

The HTC call center told me to expect the phone either tomorrow or the day after. I don't know whether it will be a brand new unit or refurbished one. But I think it will be the latter since I did not send in my original packaging and accessories, save for the battery and back cover.
[Nexus One General] oracleicom:
This is definitely not a one off issue. I've had the same thing happen to me with my Motorola's DROID. When I click the power/wake button the 4 touch sensitive buttons light up but the screen does not come on. The only solution is to pull the battery. I definitely think this is an Android OS issue. And FYI, I'm on 2.0.1.
[Nexus One General] gtrplr71:
this is an android os problem I have had this problem for 6 months with my g1
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Since you are having it happen to a Driod (is 2.0.1 out for that yet?) it tends to suggest this is a software issue, most likely some app that all 3 of you have installed. I do not have this problem but might I suggest that those affected list what they have installed?

If it is a software issue getting the hardware replaced won't make a difference.
[Nexus One General] cupOjo:
Had this happen to me almost everyday when I bought the phone, after I rooted, wiped, and loaded one of the custom roms everything was fine(so far). Haven't had a coma problem since and it's been almost a week. Not saying anybody should root but just my experience.
[Nexus One General] chrisoyh:
If this issue is not hardware related, then I tend to believe that it is OS related than application related.

The reason is simple: I first encountered this issue on the very first day I got my phone, while I was charging it and have not installed any external applications yet.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
I have had this happen to me on stock G1, stock myTouch AND stock N1. Seems like a software issue to me. It's very, very rare and really not that big of a deal. Nothing is perfect. It's still the best phone on the market today.
[Nexus One General] kitsunisan:
I've had it after I wiped my phone a couple of days ago, went a day with no other apps installed to test it out. :/ Happened twice within six hours yesterday, 5 times over 7 days. I could live with the occasional hiccup, but that's a bit extensive.

@Chrisoyh, spoke with two different reps at HTC today, both swore up and down that new units are being sent as replacements, not refurbs. One made the statement after I let him know I had the phone recorder app running. Of course, how can you really prove what's a new phone and what's a refurb anyway. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] balane:
I had it less than a week. I have NEVER gotten a phone wet in my life (45 years old.) and I had this one for less than a week and my dog rammed into me (Big dog.) while I was standing near the sink, texting, and bloop, it goes into the soapy water. I got it out with moments and popped the battery out.

I must mention that when I pulled it out of the water it was vibrating constantly and the LED's on the back were blinking quickly.

It was soapy water with dirty dish crap in it. I got on line and read immediately. I followed the directions to a T. Soaked it in distilled water for about an hour and then let it dry by the exhaust port on the back of my computer.

48+ hours passed and I attempted to turn it on. Insert the battery, nothing bad happened. Press the power button, after a second or two it vibrated and the screen lit up with the logo and my heart was happy. It booted into Windows and I was very relieved.

It was short lived. There are some issues.

There is obviously moisture trapped under the screen. There are dark spots, light spots, swirls, etc. You can't see it too much in Manila but when the screen turns a solid, lighter color (Like in Task Manager or Opera Favorites for example.) you can see the swirls.

People can hear me clearly when I speak but I can barely, oh so barely, hear them talking to me. The volume in the ear speaker is very muted.

The rear speaker, for music, nav directions, speaker phone, etc. is nothing but crackles. I mean you can hear and deduce what's coming out but it's buzzy and crackly the whole time. Just awful sounding.

The touch screen has some diminished sensitivity, maybe 10% less reactive all over and up to 75% less reactive near the edges.

It's so bad that I'm using some piece of crap back-up flip phone from eons gone by. I pray nobody calls me in public so I don't have to pull this piece of crap out. It's that bad. It's magenta too. (That's the manliest word I can think of for pink.)

In your opinion, do you think my HD2 will improve over time? Another full day has passed, back in front of the heating vent. The screen has changed some. I can't say that it really got better but it has changed. Some of the solid water lines that were there are now muddled. Perhaps a 5% improvement. The speakers show no sign of improving nor has the screen sensitivity, they are the same crap as yesterday.

The speakers are really the deal killer, if I can't hear people then it really isn't a phone.

Everything else on it seems to work fine. GPS, Wifi, data, etc.

Should I give up on it, dump it for cheap, and move on to something else like the Nexus One maybe, or wait until T-Mobile US gets their HD2s? (Is there a release date for the HD2 in USA yet?)

What is your opinion, hopefully based on experience on this?

I lost my job last week (Business closed.) and honestly, I'm more sad about this phone than I am losing my job. I know that's twisted but I loved using this phone. Loved everything about it. I miss it dearly, even though I know it's just a phone.

Please advise. Thank you for reading.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
Of course the half a second it was in the soapy water wasn't enough to get all the parts really soaked and the water didn't get a chance to get in all the parts and between the lcd and the touch screen so you decided to put it in water again for about an hour just to make sure.

I'd hate to see you rescue a drowning person.

Anyway I'm sorry for your loss.. maybe you can get a friend's insurance cover it.. (figuring your dog has none). Also dry it some more..
