Not so much what i do, but what happened. I was on the tennis court at night when the timed lights finally turned off at 10 pm. My hitting partner and I were getting ready to leave and it was basically pitch black. I realized I was missing an e-cig battery.

I pulled out the nexus one, opened camcorder, and turned on the flash. Boom instant high powered flashlight. I was surprised how strong that led was. This thing rocks. Its saved my butt so many times already.

I also love pulling up to a drive through window with Justin tv playing on my phone w/surround sound via fm transmitter.

btw, hulu doesn't work anymore, at least not for me. Not available on this platform. About:debug has no effect on it. Hulu finally caught on.

Easiest way to show off the phone i found is to let whoever is asking about it use the phone for a sec and then take it back from them quickly and watch them scream "Wait im not done, how come my phone doesnt do that? "

Never fails lol :D:D:D:D

Paul, have you tried cyanogenmod 5.0.7 for the G1? Holy crap, this thing works really well on my Roger's Magic.

I haven't. I've since sold my G1 and haven't looked back :D

[Edit]: P.S. Swype rules!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Swype does rule! And I can confirm, typing fast on the stock keyboard is the way too go. Don't worry about being perfect, the auto correct does a great job... I turned haptic feedback off, I didn't like it vibrating everytime I hit the screen, and am able to type, in landscape, super duper fast.

I do use swype, though, because of it's one hand usage, able to use in portrait, and so forth.

Right after I read this thread, a co-worker of mine asked me about my N1. He had just bought a 3Gs Iphone. I went through some of the demos that people mentioned in here and he walked away looking sheepish as hell. He even tried to show me how google maps worked on his i-phone and after fumbling with it for 3-4 minutes he finally managed to get himself pinpointed in mexico. We're not in mexico.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Lmao, as awesome as that is - I'm surprised people will so easily demonstrate jealousy (or whatever emotion sheepish represents) .. I would have walked away as proudly as I had came - but I would have came back 2 days later with my own Nexus, though, that I admit.

I love my N1. I was demoing the custom desire rom and sense ui along with the flash lite, but the kicker came this week after I go the Froyo update....... I show flash off (with crunchyroll), I show the live wallpapers, and I show off yxplayer playing an avi file with no skipping (jit made the occasional flicker or skip nonexistent). I even had one iPhone user look at another of our coworkers and say "My, I feel inferior now, don't you?"

Game, Set, Match N1,Android,Froyo. Good luck this summer Apple, silverlight's the only thing they can even remotely try to pull from their nether regions to counterbalance flash..... period.

My Rogers HTC Magic does better than that. Maps work great, voice search and keyboard work great, free NAV GPS, free Google Voice text, free tethering.

A friend's ace in the hole was Paper Toss. Then I loaded up the identical version on the Magic.

Man I show off in the train alot lol...mainly having a ALOT of stuff running and just going in and out of them real fast like I'm dude from minority report. I usually have my blue tooth headphones on listening music mad loud so people have to look :rolleyes::D. Then whenever someone looking at my phone with his/her iPhone next to me, I just go into gallery, show off a few finger skills and watch a video at full brightness. Some people comment and said it looked like HD lol :pl...

I also tend to show off Google Earth sometimes but hey what else can you do with No Signal? If I had signal I would be showing off browsing speed and FLASH :eek:..My last show off was at The Engadget Show when Froyo was leaked on the same day. I was in the audience and one guy with his droid help me get some instructions to get the update, while in progress almost everyone was looking at my phone! This dude next to me had an iPhone and was like he never saw a N1 in person before and "this dude right next to me his upgrading his phone without a iTunes or a pc!" :D:D:D:rolleyes: ...After Froyo booted(a long ass 10min) ..he was speechless LOL...fun day I tell you..

Yes, it is Microsoft's, but there has been a few rumors on it.

I'm always in constant debate with my local applehead at work.... I almost got him when I brought up hulu with the desire rom and flash lite (he didn't care it wouldn't load the video, he was just excited it could bring up the flash container). We have debates daily as I find new things to show off.... and I was the one who convinced him to jailbreak his iPhone, lol.

With LauncherPro and no live wallpaper, the launcher is indeed almost as smooth as an iphone, but every other app (maps, browser etc.) doesn't scroll as smoothly or as responsively as an iPhone 3GS.

I have a 10 year old palmpilot that has amazingly smooth vertical scrolling. I guess if that was the most important feature of my devices I'd still be using it.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
Hi, I am sort of new here but I know enough to get around on what I need to do, but I am at a stand still...

I bought a US Cellular Touch Pro 2 from Ebay which was "unlocked" supposedly, but my ATT phone card does nothing in it, I can get digital roaming but ATT will not work on the phone.

So my question is, what are the needed steps in order to get my Touch Pro 2 to get working on the ATT network. As far as I know the Security is not unlocked.

Thanks ahead of time,

if you need any other information please ask =D

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cyanide77:
Note: I bought an unlock code from Ebay earlier, but since it says its unlocked I cant use the code, unless there is another way to use that code.

yes it says 'your phone is sim unlocked' in the security tab but my ATT cards are not working

someone mentioned adding software or something. can someone please show me how to do this asap. we kinda counted on having the phones today.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kp72204:
i bought a us cellular on ebay as well. had to security unlock it. Got code from this site and then bought from olipro. this should help.

the first one you have to but then the second link you need to watch to get the imei number before you buy unlock stuff. hope this helps. trin to give back what i learned.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jmy72:
There are two different kinds of SIM Unlocks

There is the stock SIM unlock which allows you to use the sim card for other countries. You click on settings, and sim management and it says the sim is unlocked. However, that does not mean that you can use it with ATT or TMobile here in the united states. Reboot your phone and you will most likely see that your radio says something like 2.10.00WF The WF is what is screwin you over with ATT. You need to pay for and use the SIM unlock from Olipro, (there are tons of links already for it.) and unlock the phone. Then put a WU radio on it. I find that the best one that works for USCC is the 1.96.10WU Radio. It has the least amount of DATA crashes. Hope that helps ya out a bit.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] 2002wrex:
weird. olinex recomended the 2.32.00wu radio over all the others. but seeing as how my data connection never wants to stay open, maybe i will give that one a try.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Solace87:
Ok so i got the paid unlocking tool and ran it. it appears to have worked.

I then went to this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578659

and installed both the us cellular and sprint (the first and fourth link).

was that a mistake?

Anyway it doesnt say att when i put in a non active sim card.

is it still ready to use? also when i install the radios should it be in global or gsm mode or does it matter?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Kevinik:
Do not install any of those GSM radios to any CDMA phone!!!!!

Wrong??!!! WTF! A troll in this forum?

YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FOR TROLLING AND MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!...

Why don't you go ahead buy a CDMA TP2 phone and flash a GSM radio or ROM, go ahead. And make someone record your face and the device. Let's see how you enjoy turning a working phone into a black death piece of hardware that will not respond or do anything.

You better delete your post before someone that doesn't know any better follow your misguided advice and brick their phone!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] egzthunder1:
@DaveNavy,

Read up a bit on this device before advising people. Flashing a GSM rom on a native CDMA device (RhodiumW) is the best and fastest way to end up with a brick. Please make sure about these things before you post anything like this again.

Please stop the flaming right here.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
Sup,

I have been looking around and haven't found an answer. What I'm looking for may not be doable though.

Is there a way to have the phone prompt for the code on start-up ONLY?

Right now, when you turn it on, the slide screen comes up and then asks for the code. This is fine, but then it also asks for it when the phone is not used for a while. Also when I'd press the power button and the slide screen appears and then prompts the code again.

Basically, I want to keep the prompt at boot AND keep just the default slide unlocker with no code prompt for:

-booting

-pressing the power button for the screen to turn off

-after a while the device hasn't been used

Some reccommended aftermarket programs, but I want to use the stock slider.

Any ideas?

[Nexus One General] ratsoda:
I Agree......

Even after the OTA update, the touch screen issue still exists.

the phone gets all buggy with registering touch (touching middle of screen activates haptic soft keys, at the bottom of screen), getting tired of constently rebooting...........
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
You don't have to reboot.

Just turn the screen off for 3 seconds and back on...

[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Not everyone has this "touch screen accuracy" issue...

I haven't noticed any bugs that jump out at me. I would like them to improve the speech to text, and would love them to get the kernel with full RAM support out ASAP. I was sad this update did not have that. But, in a month when we get the next one I am confident and optimistic it will make it into it!
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
New RAM kernel.

Trackball/LED notification fix.

If its software the bottom row of buttons being difficult to register.

Those are all legit HW/SW issues that are unique to the N1 and need to be resolved.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
New RAM kernel - not a bug

Trackball/LED notification fix - what's the issue?

If its software the bottom row of buttons being difficult to register. - Not a bug. As I posted in the tips and tricks thread, aim for the top edge, where the screen meets the black border and you'll hit it every single time. Not many people know about this and that's why they always complain. This is just user error :D
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Whether you label it as a "bug" or not its still an issue.

Half the available RAM not being used.

The ability for Devs/Apps to customize the LED/Trackball is a feature removed.

And considering the Droid has the same panel and not the issues it is in fact a problem that the keys and "touch" area are not aligned. Thats a design flaw and nothing to do with user error.Its like asking the user to tap the Q to get a W.

Those are 2 out of the box gimpings of available hardware.

And one either HW problem or design flaw. In which case can be chalked up to "it is what it is".
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Well, the OP is asking for a bug fix update. A bug is something that is not working as intended.

For Example,

If the Android developers intended for there to be half, then it's not a bug. Having all of the available ram is more of a new feature.

I don't remember this ever being possible? When did they remove it?

It's hard to say without having a Droid and Nexus One together side by side. If they are exactly the same touch pads, and you can clearly prove that the same exact precision keypress on the Droid works 100% of the time on the Droid and not on the Nexus One, then I can agree it's a bug.

If they intended it to be so that you have to use your whole thumb (or aim for the top), then no bug. I find that if I use my entire thumb, it will always land 100% of the time no matter where I aim, so that's why I say it's hard to say it's a bug or not.

But again, this is the only one that I might agree is a bug. The other two are definitely feature requests ;)
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
How about the dots which indicate the screen you are on being off.

You seem a little blinded by your love of Android. I like it too, but it is not without it's problems, just like any other software. You've convinced yourself that the the misaligned buttons are that way on purpose...really?

The wifi is very buggy, bluetooth as well. There are also notification protocols that seems a bit buggy, sometimes they pop up, sometimes they don't, sometimes they vibrate, sometimes not. E-mail client inbox refresh doesn't reconcile with server with read/unread messages, even though data packets are received. To name a couple...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
This is a bug yes. Introduced with this week's OTA.

Blinded? No. But if something is 95% good, and 5% bad, I'm going to focus on the 95%, not the 5% ;)

And the buttons might be that way on purpose, yes.

Even if not, I've found a way to use them so they always work for me (aiming for the top) so it doesn't bother me. If I had not figured that out, then I could see how it could be frustrating.

Can you give specific instances of issues with these?

I haven't had issues with the email refreshing at all. In fact, when I'm sitting at my PC, my phone vibrates and makes a sound for new emails. I switch tabs in Firefox to Gmail and the email hasn't even shown up yet; I have to click inbox to refresh Gmail to make the email show up. My phone's email is faster than my PC's; that's how fast it is for me ;)
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
As far as BT and wifi, it poorly handles the switchover. When disconnected, the attempt to reconnect does not always work, to put is simply.

The e-mail client issue is not with gmail, it is with the exchange integration on corporate accounts.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ah yes, I have noticed that turning on wifi sometimes it just sits there and doesn't connect until I open up wifi settings. Definite bug.

Oh, exchange. Yeah, I have heard exchange is pretty bad on the N1 (or non-existant without the file from the dev forum?). I don't use it so I can't comment. But supposedly, there will be a Nexus One Enterprise edition with full Exchange support, and a physical keyboard (: So maybe this one is not aimed at people who rely on it.
[Nexus One General] dbaboci:
Cool thing about Android and this phone: all of the above mini-bugs can and IMO will be fixed. Something which you cannot say for most phones out there. That's why I love it - devs can do almost anything they want with it. Makes me go back to the list of smartphones behind this: If you had a problem you had to get used to it - so I think we all should give the guys working on the N1 a break - I mean we got an OTA upgrade LESS than a month after the phone went on the market which gave us multi-touch. So most of the bugs do exist but they are minor when compared to most of the mobile market and IMO Google is committed to fix them.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Ive had the Droid and N1 side by side which is when I realized its a design flaw or OS issue.

Both the RGB trackball and 512mb ram were both advertised as such. Including in the initial press conference. Those arent feature requests those are hardware limitations that have yet to be addressed.

The ram limitation has at least been acknowledged.

As for the LED/trackball. Its been a feature since the G1. Theres bunches of apps including the most popular messaging app that allow you to designate different colors and flash rates for LEDs for notifications.

N1 is great but before we can move forward I would like for Google to address these pretty significant things.

MT was a major feature add. But the 3g fix is still plaguing many users.

All in all N1/Android 2.1 are fantastic. Googles lack of communication frustrates too many people.

Maybe Im too used to games but good Devs are constantly in touch with users concerning bugs and issues and are pretty consistent with "update/bug fix" information and ETAs.

The fact that google is just getting phone support hiring going is pretty silly.

Im an early adaptor so I know the risks. But this really is a barely past Beta piece of hardware. I dont see the harm in other early adapters acknowledging that.

Frankly if it wasnt for users ((and haters)) *****ing and moaning non stop I dont think MT would have been put out and a 3g fix would have been put off.

The way Googles worked recently whining gets more results then sitting and waiting.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
I agree.

Heres my primary issue.

The guys at google seem like a bunch of brilliant engineers but rely rounds of feedback to get things right.

There creative and quality control people are suspect IMO.

Engineers tend to be a snobbish anti-social bunch. You dont want that leaking into consumer products. The communication pitfalls of this month highly reflect that mentality. They need another layer. They seem to desire it though so thats good.

To everyone rebooting every time you experience touchscreen calibration issue--don't.
