It's very good, far and away the best mobile I've ever owned.

However, it's not perfect; the screen seems to lose calibration randomly, the battery life can be great one day, and rubbish the next, and it has the stupid HTC thing of the volume buttons still working when the device is locked!

There are more little quirks, but they're more issues with Android I guess (crappy media support - I shouldn't have to convert my divx/avi/mkv files if I want to play them on the N1), but all in all I'm quite a hard person to please, gadget wise, and overall I'm very happy with it.
[Nexus One General] ash99:
You haven't had sex with yours ? Lol.

To answer the OP. I'm very happy with mine. Far better for my needs than the Nokia N900 or iPhone 3GS or any Blackberry.

A joy to use every day.

They don't come that quick do they? I ordered mine yesterday morning and get the shipped e-mail about 11pm, but it only left Cincinnati this morning (I don't know where it heads next...) I'm not expecting it until next week now.
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Domestic (US) shipping is quick - free overnight shipping with your order.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Sorry, I take it back, I found a thread on Modaco about it. Mine left Cincinnati at 8am, should be landing by around 9:30pm tonight in the UK, to the courier local depot overnight and with me in the morning.

Awesome! Might have to delay my afternoon start at work... ;)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I would say Unlocked - no, not worth it.

I absolutely LOVE my phone, sure.

But in the back of my mind I can't get rid of that thought that I just spent $575 for a phone plus CRT. (California Rape Tax)

Good phone? Of course. Amazing.

Worth $575? Ehh....... How do you justify it :confused:
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
If you buy unlocked you save around $20/mo on the T-Mobile plan...which over 24 months equates to $480.

If you use it on AT&T you can get the medianet plan instead of smartphone data, where you save $15/mo, over 24 months that's $360.

So you're looking at somewhere between $95 or $215 for the actual cost of the phone to you. Compare the $95 figure to ~200 (T-Mobile with contract inc tax), and you're actually saving money by not opting for the subsidized phone.

And let's not forget you aren't stuck with any sort of contract on any of the providers.

High-end unlocked phones tend to be at a similar price-range. The value isn't always obvious at first, but it's definitely there when you work it out.

Before nexus I used to be a low life alcoholic. after nexus... well I'm still a low life alcoholic Just with a cool ass phone so ya its worth it, who needs 2 kidneys anyways. Smh
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
That is true. But if I would have stayed with my G1, the cost would be $0 :D

It's a great phone of course. But the cost is hard to swallow.

Hello

When I try to open/read url posted in a twitter client (tried many),

I cant read page and it just sits there with a blank page.

Wifi is working and so does mobile net (GSM) and opening pages manually

in browser both default and dolphin works just fine.

Running HTC Hero with 1.5 ROM version (one that came with the phone

and I just hacked it a bit to get a root access,nothing else)

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this "bug" ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] G8D:
There seems to be a specific ammount of time you need to hold the url :P

Hope its sorted in 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Using Modaco 3.2, and HTC Peep, I've no such issues.

I have two ROMs on my SD card, CKDroid and MoDaCo 3.1

depending on my mood, I switch between the two. what I do when I want to switch is:

1. shut down

2. boot with home + power

3. flash ROM

4. nand restore to get all my settings back

is there any easier way to switch between two roms ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:

[Nexus One General] thewayne01:
I know Google has said they are looking into it. But this is ridiculous. The N1 can not handle WPA2 connections. Even though it saves the connection and password, it almost never reconnects automatically. From what I was reading on the Google help forum, it appears to have compatibility issues with many retail routers and they suggest upgrading the firmware on our routers. Throughout my day, I may connect to 3 different APs. One is a standard Linksys wrt54g with sveasoft, the others I connect to are Cisco APs.

None of them automatically reconnect. Most of the time on the Linksys, I have to delete the connection on the phone and re-add it.

I still like this phone but between the 3g and wifi issue, it is a pain to use.
[Nexus One General] Know-Fear:
I won't pretend to understand all that you just said, but I can tell you that my router is set up using WPA2-PSK. Not sure if it is the same as just WPA2 but my N1 reconnects to mine whenever I get in range. Then at the office it will connect to the WPA2-PSK set up in there, and one more regular open connection that is available at our pool. Pretty much every time I look at it, it is connected to one of those 3. Or else if I am OOR of any of those, I am on 3G.

My home router is a Belkin -N. Work routers are a Netgear -N and a D-Link -N.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I've got a Netgear WNR2000 on WPA2, and I can confirm I occasionally have this issue with the phone not connecting to the network automatically. It usually does if I go into settings and touch it to reconnect again.
[Nexus One General] philaldred:
There is an easy solution for any WIFI problems, use a Mac Filter!!
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
I have to go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi Settings before my Nexus One will reconnect to my home router, which is also using WPA2-PSK.

Hopefully it'll be sorted in a firmware update, it is annoying having to go through 3 screens to do something that my Nokia Symbian phones have been doing without issue for almost5 years...
[Nexus One General] scote:
I am having no problems auto connecting to my home WPA2 network, I am using AES encryption and running DD-WRT firmware if it helps.
[Nexus One General] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Mac Filters are no replacement for WPA2 or encryption. Almost every device has the ability to spoof a mac address. Using a mac filter might help quickly eject roaming devices nearby, but it is NOT security.

Its like using a No Trespassing sign to replace locking your doors and windows.
[Nexus One General] fatboyhk:
i found that APNDriod may be a possible culprit....

Before I installed APNDriod , every times I go back home, my N1 will connect to my home WiFi almost immediately.

But after I install APNDriod, my N1 will not connect to my home WiFI.....I need to go into the Wireless setting screen, once i am on that screen WiFi it will connect.

But it is strange this I don't have this issue in my office, it just connect automatically before and after installing APNDriod.

Today I tried NOT to use APNDriod for a day and my N1 connect to my home WiFi without issue..... will do more experiment tmr.
[Nexus One General] mellowgato:
Netgear WNR3500 w/ WPA2-PSK. Reconnects every time I am in range.
[Nexus One General] thewayne01:
I find that my Linksys is the worst. The Cisco Aironet 1121 is better, but still has occasional connection issues. And I have not installed APNDroid.

On another note, when my phone switches from 3g to 2g and vice versa, it takes a long time for the data connection to resume
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
My network at home is setup with WPA2. I have no problems connecting to it... I click on the little wireless icon, and wait for it to say "wireless settings updated" and also wait for the wireless icon to show up near the time... then i will start browsing

My cisco 521AP does not connect using any type of encryption, it only works with open authentication. Expensive phone like this that doesnt work with business class products is a joke.

@xoveruk - Someone must be able to help sort out this issue !

My suggestion is - check what you're doing wrong before assuming the phone is at fault. And check that you're using PSK.

It sounds like the 1600 mAh battery from Seidio will fit in the stock battery place with no need for a different cover.

Is there any reason not to get this battery, other than spending $55?

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi16hnx1.htm
[Nexus One Accessories] kep0ne:
Anyone have a clue how much extra battery life 200mAh equates to?
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
For a really rough estimate, if your average battery life is 12 hours, then an increase by 200 mAh (~14%) will give you and extra ~ 1.7 hours. Emphasis on really rough.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Probably not worth it unless (1) you are away from a charger for long periods of time, or (2) your original battery goes bad.
[Nexus One Accessories] seeking:
what about the one that adds only 5mm of extra thickness? that doesnt seem to bad
[Nexus One Accessories] timothydonohue:
5mm may not sound like much, but the phone is only 11mm thick now. so, it'd add almost 50% to the phone's thickness. that's significant.
[Nexus One Accessories] ma2k5:
I would not mind getting any battery with improved life, battery life is pretty important to me. I am just wanting to see how much extra will I realistically be getting - before I make the purchase. Other than the 200 extra mAh, build quality can influence how much more (or less) the battery life ends up being. If it add's 25%+, I may just buy it.
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Same here, the more battery the better! As long as the size is the same which is a plus!!
[Nexus One Accessories] KK43:
sounds like it's more of an additional battery than a better replacement, considering how little additional juice it'll potentially give.

I'd be interested how it compares to the price of an original battery, then just buy the cheaper one to have an extra batt
[Nexus One Accessories] Casao:
I picked up one of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FU6KF2/ref=oss_product

It's a charger, works with any gadget that uses USB, it's TINY (smaller than the phone itself by a good bit, easily pocketable) and it can roughly double battery life. Slightly less convenient than a spare Nexus One battery, but easier to charge, store and use, as well as being able to use it with ANY usb device.
[Nexus One Accessories] neva dinova:
does anybody know if the battery guage will be able to recalculate for the bigger battery? i had that problem on the tilt/htc tytn II and that was really annoying because you have a bigger battery but no idea what the actual charge is
[Nexus One Accessories] legolee:
The Seidio is too expensive.

I would rather buy Momax from Hong Kong.

any luck on ebay?
[Nexus One Accessories] Jak Crow:
I picked up a 5000mah external pack recently, which is about 3 times greater than the typical external battery. Works great. Charges the phone up 3 or 4 times over with no problem.

[Nexus One Accessories] Syrax:
Just looked at the site and they're going to have a "Super Extended" battery coming out soon, though this one will be larger thus bringing it's own back cover. I think I'll wait for them to release that before choosing.
[Nexus One Accessories] Orpheus1120:
Check this out in ebay.

Good price too.
[Nexus One Accessories] joshyth1012:
uh...that's the same capacity as the stock battery.....
[Nexus One Accessories] mer6:
Just ordered one. Extra battery life is worth it to me.
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
Do you have a link?

For me, a bigger battery is a much better option. The chances are, when your running low on battery it will be because you didn't know you would be far from a powerpoint for so long, which would mean I probably wouldn't carry one of these extenders with me anyway :-/
[Nexus One Accessories] ajwho:
I received my 1600 mAh Seidio battery in the mail today. The directions state to charge it for 8 hours and that battery life will improve with 3-4 days.
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
I find 3 to 4 days hard to believe, but even 8 hours more would persuade me to order one...

Report back how you get on.
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
Sorry, double post.
[Nexus One Accessories] 5to1:
Think they mean the performance of the battery will improve after 3-4 days of use. Not that it will last 3-4 days.
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
Oh yeah, that would make more sense. Sorry, had only just woken when read it the first time, lol
[Nexus One Accessories] 5to1:
Well its nice to dream, 3-4 day smartphone battery, if only :)
[Nexus One Accessories] babijoee:
Just trying out the Seidio 1600mAh battery and will report how it goes :)

Its weird reading the above posts as this is what it exactly says:

"Prior to using your new extended battery, please allow 8 hours for initial charge time. Performance will increase after 5-6 full charges."

I'll report after about 5-6 charges and see if battery life is better. Also this is my first use of a 3rd party battery. I hope it doesn't explode :p but these days i think they are more smart.
[Nexus One Accessories] mahleek20:
Had a Seidio 1600mAh with my G1 it takes about 3-5 charges for it to actually do its thing. Compared to the original G1 battery, which lasted me less than a day it lasted me an entire day.
[Nexus One Accessories] yhbae01:
Are there ANY extended battery with much larger capacity than 1400? I don't mind thicker case since I would only use it when we are hiking. Those GPS enabled software really sucks up juice!

On HTC Magic, they had a lot of 2800-ish capacity batteries with covers sold on eBay...

[Nexus One Accessories] reid-o:
Please let us know of any battery swelling issues.

I'm interested in this battery as well.

I think I'm kind of scarred from having an iphone all those years.

I keep forgetting that I can swap out batteries, so I try to keep the phone charged at all times to keep the charge cycles high.
[Nexus One Accessories] yhbae01:
Ok I found the announcement... $65US... Not cheap but I guess they are more decent compare to eBay ones?
[Nexus One Accessories] BrandonG777:

Any comments on the 1600mah Seidio from those of you who bought it?
[Nexus One Accessories] stickerbob:
I have been patiently waiting for feedback also. Would love to get an extra couple of hours.
[Nexus One Accessories] ghostdgnn:
I got the battery a week ago in the mail. I have gone through 3 full charge cycles and I have seen the increase in battery. I was getting home with about 25% left on average and now I get home at about 42% average after the 3 full charge cycles.

I also installed SetCPU and down clock it while the screen is off in standby to half power this past weekend. I got home yesterday after work with 62% power left and I did the normal email and sms but also talked on the phone for 20 minutes which most days I don't talk that much.

With the battery and SetCPU combination I might be able to make it from morning till the end of work the next day and if I need to I could charge if for an hour at work and be fine for the remainder of the second day.

I work in full 3g coverage and live at home in 2-3 bars Edge.

Also I am running Cyn 5.0.2 with the newest radio and rom etc.
[Nexus One Accessories] babijoee:
For me it definantly lasts longer. I mostly use mine to listen to music and surf the web and i can get about 12 hours of use.

Before it would die around like 10 hours of use. Very happy :)
[Nexus One Accessories] stickerbob:
Thanks a lot guys for the feedback!
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
Does anyone know where this can be bought in the UK?

I see they will ship, but it almost doubles the price! $83, which equates to £53. If I could find it for £40 I'd probably go for it.

I just ordered mine before i get a crap loud of bills. My orginal battery is still good but a spare is still good to have. I figure since where expecting flash and i definitely will be using it alot while im at work, the extra energy is a good thing.
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
I'm debating on whether to get this or not. I have a zagg sparq I usually carry with me in my laptop bag which will charge my phone on the fly. Is there a desktop cradle that will house the extra battery so that it can always be charged? Or will the battery go bad if I don't use it ? Like how do I "store" it if I'm not going to use it?
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
The BEST way to store a Lion battery is to charge it to around 40-45% and stick it in your refrigerator. No B.S., I read a LOOOONG article on modern batteries and their care. That's also where I found information regarding the benefits to Lion battery life from not deep cycling the battery and topping it off frequently.

Anyway, you can store the battery like that for 2-3 months easy, then just pop it in for a use for a cycle where you fully charge it and run it back down to 40-45%, and back in the fridge it goes. ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
so hows the battery? any reports from real usage times yet?
[Nexus One Accessories] bullyfrog:
Gave me about 2hrs of extra juice compared to the stock battery.

Feeling adventurous, I flashed Cyan's 5.0.3.1 ROM with the persiansown's UV stock patch. My phone now lasts me over 15hrs before going flat!

I used to be only able to run for 9 hrs on stock ROM and battery.

I rarely carry the stock battery with me anymore as spare cos my phone finally survives my full day's use :D
[Nexus One Accessories] yhbae01:
I realize this is far from ideal but I am also testing the following:

http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Charger-Rechargeable-Batteries-CEF23DX4N/dp/B000XSA5WW

The charger is (relatively) huge so this is not for those who want to carry light. The reason I wanted it is because when I hike, I use software like SportyPal which needs GPS on all the time. My HTC Magic used to give me max 4 hours with stock battery when this software is used even with airplane mode. With 4xAA Eneloops, it should easily double stock battery life, but lets see if that is the case in practice... :D

I can see that it is charging without anything getting hot so far.

I should go back to OEM to see. To me I seem to have a tad better length between charges. But I'll switch it out when I return to work on Monday.:confused:
[Nexus One Accessories] bluehaze:
I think 1600 mah is a waste of money, either get an extra battery from Google for 25 bucks and swap them or go all out and get the 3200mah+ extended battery packs. The extra 200 mah is barely noticeable, personally I prefer swapping the factory battery packs because it keeps the slim form factor of the device and I have never run into a situation where 2 batteries was not enough to get me through the day even with a siginificant amount of use including wifi tethering to my ipad for several hours.
[Nexus One Accessories] dyndragon:
Check that battery thread that was posted a few posts up. I can tell you from my experience, the Seidio battery sucks and gives me noticeably less life than the stock OEM battery. Too bad I'm past my return period...
