using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.

Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)
[HD2 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.

How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\

I ordered this on Feb 12 and got it today Feb 16, would of probably been faster if it wasn't for the weekend and Presidents day.

Unlike my first of the same color with checkered marks, this one is clear and smoke colored, Fitment is fine, putting it on for the first time was a tight fit but it will give you the peace of mind that once its ON, its ON forever and this sucker isnt going anywhere. Fitment is perfect and all holes line up. What I like most about this is that it extends over the Camera lens unlike the previous one in which there was no protection at all.

I like it and will be ordering from these guys in the future.

www.googlenexusoneaccessories.com for $12.99, price might be a little high but I am very satisfied.
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Not a bad price for a perfect fit & good protection!
[Nexus One Accessories] droidzer:
Is this actually a crystal case? if so then I think it's a little too steep on the price.

But it does have an acrylic / rubbery look to it compared to a normal crystal case, but then again, also the pictures are quite blurry.
[Nexus One Accessories] boomer30:
No its not a crystal case. Its a silicon resin case thats somewhat elastic. Yeah those pics are blurry but thats the best I can do for now since I used my G1 to take the shots.
[Nexus One Accessories] pongalong:
Didn't see a "resin" case on the site. Is it the "candy skin case?"

googlenexusoneaccessories . com / nexus-one-candy-skin-case-8857.html
[Nexus One Accessories] boomer30:
Just looked at the invoice and its listed as :

NEXUS ONE CANDY SKIN CASE - TRANSPARENT SMOKE

you will not regret buying this.
[Nexus One Accessories] madforpancakes:
How does the feel of the case compare to the Checkered/Argyle smoke case? That's the case I have right now, and I would definitely be interested in upgrading if the material feels the same.
[Nexus One Accessories] pongalong:
Ordered yesterday and awaiting ship notification.
[Nexus One Accessories] McFroger3:
Does this still work if you put it in the dock?
[Nexus One Accessories] thechapel:
Just ordered. Waiting for shipping conf. I got the clear candy one. I like the look of the N1 so if I can show it off as much as possible great.

I am getting this mostly for the grip and feel. Though it is nice it will protect it.
[Nexus One Accessories] boomer30:
This one has a more sturdier feel to it, but its just as flexible.
[Nexus One Accessories] boomer30:
No it will not work on a dock, if you have no plans of using a dock then this is the way to do. I dont think that there are any cases out there that will work with the Nexus dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] bethedealer:
Would the case block the camera lens?
[Nexus One Accessories] ylam310:
The case does not block the camera lens. There is a small opening over the center of the glass lens so while the lens is protected from most scratches I haven't seen any effect on pictures (thought I haven't taken many). One thing i noticed though is that the small opening seems to attract dust which is hard to wipe off. A can of compressed air solves that problem though.
[Nexus One Accessories] omgdaniel:
Think I might just order this one, using the checkered case right now and would love the cover for the camera lens.

BTW, there's a 15% off coupon for this website. Just use the code "nexus15". (w/o quotes).

Makes the total $11.04.
[Nexus One Accessories] Android Touch:
Is this better then the crystal cases?
[Nexus One Accessories] mikeybags:
How much thickness does this add to the phone? I am interested in some protection for my nexus, but don't want to double its thickness like many of the rubber cases do.
[Nexus One Accessories] pongalong:
Just received the case. Here are the goods:

Fits perfectly

Protects the camera without ruining pictures

Flexible rubbery plastic provides good protection

And the bad:

Couldn't get it to fit properly with my phantomskinz

Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)

Overall it's very good. It'll protect against most falls but you'll still need a screen protector. It fit over my phantomskinz snuggly but the skin and the case kept rubbing and sticking together making it difficult to install properly (some of the alignment was off) so I opted to remove the back parts of my skin - now it fits perfectly.
[Nexus One Accessories] frenchie746:
-And the bad:

---Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)

I can confirm this. Nothing a little exacto work couldn't fix though ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] Leooooooo:
It looks so good, does it fit to the phone?
[Nexus One Accessories] thechapel:
I got mine and really enjoy it. Got the clear one. It looks really good. Better than I thought it would. I have a gift card to some gadget skin place, so I got the clear one so I could see whatever I get.

It feels really good in my hand, that is the main reason I got it. I always felt like it would want to fall out of my hand if I was using it with only one hand. It stays in place and has a nice girth to it.

I have a universal radio transmitter/holder thing that plugs into my lighter socket, it fits really nice in there (though it fit well without the case too).

As some have said, my only complain is the microusb plugs not fitting in all the way, I will have to cut a little out of the case for that which isn't a problem. Oh, and pressing the volume and power buttons is not as easy, have to press harder, not too big of an issue, just something to take note of.

I recommend this case.
[Nexus One Accessories] jadams212510:
Nexus One Candy Skin Case

This case has a great feel. Protects all the key items like the camera since it sticks out further on the back it covers it but allows a small hole for taking photos. The shipping was quick. The only down side I have is the power button and volume keys are harder to push. One last thing the charging slot could be bigger the charger has to be forced in to make sure it connects found this out the first night waking up to a almost dead battery. Overall good case its not a hard plastic or silicone its flexible. I'm not really sure what its made from but gives you a great grip! Will due for now until company's like Incase or iSkin develope one. You can find it hear googlenexusoneaccessories.com I bought the transparent smoke version looks great! Nexus One Candy Skin Case Transparent Smoke
[Nexus One Accessories] suffix642:
do you think it would be easy to regularly take it off and put it back on? the reason I am asking is because I have ordered the desktop dock and since I am going to use it, i will need to take the case off the phone first.

also can anyone measure the thickness of the case please? is it more than 1 mm? thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] kuyamon:
I got the same case (well the transparent one) and noticed that it screws up pictures when using the flash in the dark. My pictures ended up being washed out from the flash. I didn't do much testing and just ended up cutting the extra protection off the camera lens. It works fine now but seems to be ridiculous to have to do that. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus One Accessories] pongalong:
Update: I ordered an extra case that came scratched. Contacted customer service. They had me snap a few photos and afterwards were happy to send me a replacement. Smooth and quick response.

The case itself is great, you can see my previous review somewhere in this thread. I just wanted to let everyone know these guys are responsive to customers.
[HD2 General] jabbawalkee:
Hey everyone...not sure where I'm supposed to ask this, so I put it in general.

As I am on a Mac and use HardSPL to flash ROMs, it is not possible for me to upgrade to an official ROM because it is in .exe format. So, I need someone to post the RUU_SIGNED.nbh from the official ROM update (WWE: 1.66.405.2).

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out and provide the NBH file or point me in the right direction. Thanks :D
[HD2 General] din0_22:
im not aware of any fix with your issues but to use bootcamp and use Windows OS.

You can also try Parallels or Vmware Fusion. Im just not sure if it's gonna work.

i would say maybe. =)

now, regarding .nbh, you can probably post a holla down at the Rom developments section.
[HD2 General] huggy_72:
usually on PC you can extract exe whit winrar or 7z, i think there is mac version to
[HD2 General] jabbawalkee:
I'm not trying to download Bootcamp, Parallels or anything else like that...I just want someone (who has a PC) to grab the RUU_SIGNED.NBH file and post it here. I will send a paypal donation to the person that does so. Thanks
[HD2 General] jabbawalkee:
Please can someone post the RUU_SIGNED.NBH from the officially 1.66.405.2 WWE ROM update? I will compensate!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the exe file is actually a zip file. No need to run it. just change the extension to .zip instead of .exe, open it with any decent zip tool (winzip winrar or whatever) and extract the RUU_signed.nbh
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
download an file archive programme and open the official EXE file with it and you can do it yourself!
[HD2 General] jabbawalkee:
I just tried using winrar and it did not work. It will not extract the files. Are you on a PC? If so, it would only take you 2 minutes to grab the file I need and post it here. Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its a 200 meg file, so sorry no it wont 'just take me a minute'. I can promise you (as can everyone else here) that the .exe file you download is just an executable zip, and we all generally right click it, choose open with winrar, and it opens to show the ten or so files inside, one of which is RUU_Signed.nbh. Then drag n drop the file from there.

If you really are getting an error, you should maybe download it again, something isn't right.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
I'm on a Mac also, but I always flash via XP on a Bootcamp partition. I just leave all the flashing stuff there, and only use it for that.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
You should also be aware that if you flash the 1.66 rom from sd card you will overwrite your SPL to version 1.6 which means you may have trouble installing HSPL later.
[HD2 General] jabbawalkee:
I don't care about that so much. I'm trying to sell the phone and want to sell it as stock as it can be. I'll just flash 1.48...thanks for everyone's help. I'll stick to Android :D
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Exactly. By happy luck/accident, I was unable to do so before I knew this when I first got my HD2, now I have (thanks to everyone here) HSPL installed....but I realize now that If I had been able to install it, I probably would have, not knowing any better, and given myself a lot more difficulty in the process. This is the best source of phone info anywhere on the planet.
[HD2 General] craig540:
Thanks for the info it really helped me out.

The search button really does work.
[HD2 General] craig540:
I am installing T-Mobile_HD2_RUU_signed_3.14.531.1 from the sd card, will i be able to get hspl back ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that rom will set spl to 3.03.0000 if flashed from sd card, and you would use hspl4 to re apply hspl, should you want to.
[HD2 General] craig540:
I already have hspl to 3.03.0000 and can not load anything when connected to USB, I was trying to go back to hspl 2.08 so i can load recovery. Is there another way.

[Q] o2 HTC HD2 Latest ROM

..... Ignore........
[HD2 General] mmmalas:
I am not sure whats all the fuss about.

reason I moved from iphone to wm is because of multitasking, running skype \ messenger and other apps in the background.

I am not a big fan of zune interface. but to be honest I didnt use it.

can some one explain why he sees win7 as a good thing?
[HD2 General] band27:
Couple of things

:

• Still a prototype (room for lots of change)

• supposed to be really fast

• better integration

• more finger friendly

• however agreed, at this stage, it's quite plain but very

Some more info. <<HERE>>.
[HD2 General] c4Lvin:
i dont like it at all

i think MS is thinking way too much social network capabilities. something we already have currently for which i personally hardly ever use. also the layout doesnt look straight forward and looks confusing or i just didn't seem to pay attention to it. i wont upgrade if that is how it gonna look like.
[HD2 General] dwizzy130:
Just an FYI, It's Windows Phone 7 Series (WP7S) not Windows 7.

dwizzy130
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
Why do people have to moan so much? No-one has even tried the f*cking OS yet and they're already moaning about it. I suppose these people are all running Windows 1.0 and driving around in Austin Ambassadors.

There's nothing wrong with Microsoft integrating social network as this is the way of things: people are finding new ways to communicate all the time and phone OS's are adapting to this; you don't HAVE to use these facilities and they won't be obtrusive if you don't. You also have the option of sticking with Windows mobile as Microsoft will continue to supply it as they supply XP to netbook manufacturers.

Stop moaning about it: would you rather Microsoft just patched up the current Windows Mobile some more so that it finally dies the death that it is currently heading towards?? The new OS means better hardware support, meaning greater performance and speed. Don't like it? Get an iPhone, Android phone or stick with Windows Mobile 6...

The great thing is that now there is so much CHOICE. There is no point whingeing because the OS doesn't conform with your exacting standards, Microsoft I'm sure have worked hard to please as many people as possible as obviously this is a solid business model to conform to. If you don't like it, don't buy it....but at least give it a chance.

I was scornful of Windows 7 until I tried it.
[HD2 General] camper:
It's really ugly, especially the screen with square and rectangle boxes of sms/call/mail info
[HD2 General] lordcanti86:
Really?

I think it looks really good. If it has the responsiveness of my Zune HD then I think MS may have a real winner here.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
it's just the backbone.. it will probably just have (a new version) of sense running on top of it...
[HD2 General] lordcanti86:
The bigger question at this point is...does WinPhone 7 really need HTC Sense running on top of it? I could understand running on top of 6.5 (very easy to replicate the existing functionality for a much better looking UI) but replicating the hubs and functionality in 7 would be a much harder job.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
I hope not, I hate the double functionality it has now.. and I think it looks quit good already (wm7).. but maybe a little simple for our large screen hd2.. which I also find quit useless at the moment.. the home screen in Sense is just a big version of a small resolution screen phone.. why not use that space..? in this case finger friendly is just a poor excuse for hasty release in my opinion.. luckely we have developers here who finish htc's job (co0kie's home tabs is a good example, it makes your phone feel like what htc promises in their commercials but doesn't deliver)

let's face it, the default windows mobile 6.5 home screen (the scrolling finger friendly one, don't know the name) is not bad at all.. it just looks ugly on our big screen..
[HD2 General] c4Lvin:
not moaning but just saying as how i feel about it as the subject pertains. if u dont like how i feel about it maybe you should get the F**K out of this thread if you cant handle it. why are you so pissed off about such an opinion from others. are you the developer of it or something that offended you? i would consider trying it out once it is close to the release date and see what it really looks like then. ciao!
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
The point is that you haven't tried it yet. Do you criticise movies based on their trailers?

It's impossible to know for sure whether you're going to like an OS just by basing your opinion on a few pictures and videos. Besides which who really thinks the stock Windows Mobile 6 is a gorgeous user-friendly masterpiece; it's only with the addition of Sense that the experience is improved to the point of desirability. Microsoft haven't holistically written off Windows Mobile 6 so fans can still stick with it for the foreseeable life of their devices and expect updates to Sense, SPB Mobile Shell and Opera.

The point is that now there is greater choice, which can only be a good thing. I'm not a developer and I have no affiliations which might bias my opinion here, but I have made the mistake of writing off things before ive tried them in the past and just think people shouldn't be so keen to spit their dummies out when things don't look exactly how they'd expect them to. Given the limited knowledge we have of WP7's hands-on experience I think this poll might be a little premature.
[HD2 General] donnaw:
Well, we haven't really seen much

In fact we have not seen much more than a proof of concept. (Although I'm quite sure it is more than that). I, for one, will hold off judgment until I learn more about the functionality and possibilities for customizations. As shown it does not meet my personal needs for my "Home Screen". IF, as I have read, MS is locking down the UI then the rest better be pretty damn fantastic for me to put up with the UI I saw. But if we can change it around to fit our needs then I will consider it.

As for now, although speculation is fun, I feel it's just too early to make any determination based on the little we know. Next month will give us more info. After that it will be a case of "wait and see" what the devs come up with once they get their hands on the OS etc. I keep thinking about that old adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover".
[HD2 General] lude219:
I wouldn't put too much criticism on the layout as I do about the functionality. People needs to realize that the layout is not set in stones and i'd be hard pressed if MS would keep the blue block as their UI. As long as it is fast, smooth, and finger-friendly, skinning it would be a piece of cake. Give it some time until close to release time and we'll see a more polish product that will appeal to everybody.
[HD2 General] din0_22:
i completely agree..

how come people always criticizing something that has not been even tested in real life?

it's always "oooh it's ugly and i still like the current one or the older one", but yet after a while, we then accept the fact that it is actually better and fit our needs.

i guess thats why there are old people that will very likely to use an old typewriter Compare with the more civilized older ones who get the use and capabilities of computers. So much critics that now, they dont even know how to use it.
[HD2 General] kelvinchewsg:
Stop Moaning guys,

i say this is the best WM OS those lazy bustard have come out with and compete against the fruit factory.

cant wait for and unofficial release....

from Singapore

by the way, Singapore just open its first casino...
[HD2 General] c4Lvin:
as stated earlier, if the "book cover" looks better , you got my vote. other than that, NOTHING else so far about wp7s lures me into upgrading for what i have now. i am talking about what we've been shown. even though i use it now based on your judgement, i wont enjoy it cos it is simply not pretty. sorry i cant do an ugly person even if she functions well.
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
I am holding off to 6.5.1 + ROMs because of cosmetic reasons really. I like the large finger friendly buttons but the fact that the start button is on the left making it look unsymmetrical to me is f-ugly. In my opinion it should be in the middle. Hope this doesn't turn out to be the case for Win phone but from the images i have seen it doesn't look too bad. Im sure it will be skinable to some extent and i think it is a step in the right direction. Win mobile can be complicated and ugly if your used to more "main stream" handsets. As long as it maintains its customisable back bone in a pretty new wrapper i welcome this new os.
[HD2 General] dwizzy130:
Just wait until we get a ROM dump from the HTC HD Mini. That is running an unseen build of 6.5.X that got rid of the start menu icon on the taskbars and has symmetrical softkeys.
