How did I side step any facts, or cite random or even "hilariously" wrong figure? The iPhone has sold over 40 million, Android has sold around 7 million. I didn't spend an hour looking for updated sales data. It doesn't make my statement any less valid, nor does anything about the data validate anything you're saying. You're saying that 1 year out of Androids life is indicative of how it will perform forever. I'm saying, give it some time, because 1 year doesn't make a product.

You really should take some time and look up the meaning of humility, and abrasiveness when you get a chance.
[Nexus One General] xSiraris:
McDonalds is one of the most successful brands in the history of man kind. It is known in every corner of the world, and has influenced the lives of billions of people. How many fine restaurants can boast that?
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
I agree, and for the record the original article is BS. He is just an iPhone fanboy (like me, but I admit it) and has not given the Nexus One a chance.

I will take these things from an N1 into my 3GS please.

1. Screen, awesome, truly.

2. The voice stuff but only when it bloody works for Brits :-)

3. Widgets. Yes please.

4. Multitasking. I do have this with JB, but be nice to have native.

I was gonna add Google integration, but been playing with that lately on 3GS and it is pretty good already, did you know the 3GS can sync 25 Google Calendars!!!

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
LMAO.

I guess giving millions of people a great chance of obesity and heart disease is pretty influential.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Looks like the reference flew over your head too ;)

Re-read the explanation I posted earlier.

It wasn't about the success of the brand or not, but since you brought it up, let me ask you a question:

McDonald's is on the most successful brands in the history of man kind, as you said.

So does that mean it's also one of the best tasting foods to have ever been created in the history of man kind?
[Nexus One General] :
The author of the article makes a valid point.

Getting to options should be straightforward and not a guessing game. The first few days with the phone for me was a bit of pain because, as I found out, some places had rise up menus from the menu button, but others did not. There's a disjointedness that irks me.

Since the iphone has no buttons that change function everything must be on-screen. Apple insitance on uniformity across the apps allows the user to easily adapt to new apps and such.

One thing I'd like to see on more android apps/settings areas is a little sliver near the soft menus telling you that there's a rise up menu.

One instance that stands out for me, when I first got the phone and clicked everything I could:

Menu Function on home screen = pops up options

Menu Function on settings page = nothing

Menu Function on settings > wireless/network page = nothing

Menu Function on wireless/network > Wifi Settings = pops up scan/advanced options

Why is there no indicator that three levels down the menu button does something? After trying the menu button on the previous upper levels, why would one try on the last? There's no uniformity.

After I found the scan/advanced options, I went back to the previous screen to see if I had just not clicked wrong.
[Nexus One General] bcpk:
On the Nexus One, pressing the dedicated search button (bottom right) typically brings up an the search internal for the currently running application. Pressing the search button again brings up the universal search.

I think the guy writing the article missed out on this too, or something similar. The search button is damn handy on the Nx1.

Oh and there's a bookmark button on the browser, too :p
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
I don't want everyone to have a Nexus One. I want it all to myself! Muahahahahaha!

Anyway...I'm learning a lot of little tricks reading this thread.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Yeah, I liked this part where he says "influenced" like a good thing. And people who've been "influenced" by McDonalds gain... what? Metric tons of body fat? Sure, McDonalds itself has gotten plenty. It's fantastic for them. People who eat their food, uhm, not so much.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
With My Desktop, the first thing I do is get rid of any added shortcuts. I like it clean, maybe a few widgets.

It's the same with Android; I have my essential apps and a few widgets, games on one page, speed tests, web etc. And anything I don't really use is left in the app drawer.

Ok, so the app drawer needs some revamping, like categories etc. but that's the beauty of android... again; there are custom apps out there that do that.

It's much better than the iphone which just has everything puked out onto the screen.

Earlier comments mentioned dumming down the Android OS. Basically, if Android tried to copy off the iPhone it WOULD fail. Because the iPhone still has Apple backing it and it's already famous.

i do have to admit though, when I use my 3GS, it is a lot different to Android. Comparing it logically, everything just seems... finished, whereas with Android it doesn't. Like the small things; scrolling too far down or up still allows you to scroll a bit (if you have an iPhone you'll know what I mean).

It just makes sense...

Kidding LOL. It doesn't make sense but it is kinda funky.
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
I think my slow uptake of the Nexus One is certainly due to being 100% comfortable with my 3GS.

Today for example, I was listening to a Podcast in the house on the N1, which was plugged into my Macbook (just to charge it) it was Macbreak, and it was about half way through. I needed to go see my Doctor, so I grabbed the N1, and headed to the car. Tried to restart the Podcast, and nothing happened. It was no big deal, I was just listening in the house to the streaming version and had not downloaded it. So, the point is, with my iPhone, the whole thing would have been sync'ed with iTunes while it charged.

Now, please note I am not slagging the N1 for this, it was me that was at fault, it just highlights how I have to think differently with the N1. There are quite a few examples of this as I try to transition, but I am getting there.

Kev
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Yeah, the transition will definitely take some time for anyone switching from an iPhone. The iPhone OS is very idiot-proof, which is why it's so popular.

Hello everyone,

I am truly sorry if this question has been asked before, but I have browsed the web + the xda forums thoroughtly and could not find any answer.

So question is I can't find the Advanced Server Settings link anymore when setting a new mail account since I upgraded my ROM to 1.66.

I need SSL to be active for both incoming and outgoing emails when connecting to my mail server.

Has anyone encounter the same issue?

Thanks for your help.

It says that Haret needs to be on the root of the SDCard though. It currently lies in a different place.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
its just a simple registry edit to read it from android folder. ive been using this for about a month and it does work. saves time from having to boot all the way into windows mobile.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brarsandeep:
I installed the DualBoot app form the original post and looked at the registry entries and don't see where I can change the path for Haret...any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hideffer:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]

"AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brarsandeep:
My "Android" folder on my SD card is called "andboot"...that is where Haret is located. Is there a way to modify the registry entry to point to the "andboot" folder?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Irishpride:
If I were you I would just put Haret on the root, I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's great, I've had no problems whatsoever.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brarsandeep:
I moved everything to the root of my SD card...had to put "System.img" back in "Andboot". it did not boot up with "system.img" on the root of the SD card.

I am able to boot into Android by going into program files and executing the DualBoot app, but when I power off the phone and turn it back on, the DualBoot app never get executed. It boots straight into WM. I have checked the Registry entries and they look correct and I do see the entry in the Init folder in the registry.

What am I missing???

It's extremely confusing me, cause my Android has installing on my Vogue at directory folder: Storage Card -> Andboot -> haret.exe

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gaetan505:
I want to use the topaz cam like a real time camera, for example when you are doing a public presentation with a pc and a videoprojector and you would like to show a small device on the desk near your pc

I want to know if it exists an app wich can display in the real time the view of the back topaz camera?

I have begun with my mobiler and when i switch on the cam app i have a black screen on the mymobiler windows of my pc so I have tried another several apps like Mobiola or WebCamera Plus but i don't succeed to have on my PC a real time screen of my topaz .

I also try tinycam but the display in yhe browser is too small and with poor quality:(

Thanks for your help
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
I can get real time camera with Mobiola. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you?

Have you tried Pocket Controller? It is like My Mobiler but better.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gaetan505:
With mobiola it only works in 240x320 but it is too small.

I have tried Pocket Controller and when i switch on the camera, i have a black screen on my Pocket Controller PC screen.

But if i start mobiola, i can see it in a bigger size on my Pocket Controller PC screen. So it works but it is not very easy and i have to start 2 apps

Why i can not see on my Pocket Controller PC screen the camera view when it is switch on whereas with mobiola i can?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Yeah, unfortunately Pocket Controller can't render real time images because there is always a slight delay.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gaetan505:
the display time with Pocket Controller is faster than with my mobiler

But I don't understand why with Pocket Controller or with my mobiler, the PC display windows don't show the screen of my topaz and replace it with black screen?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Yeah, I have never cared for My Mobiler, much prefer Pocket Controller.

I think they lack the proper video drivers to render video from the screen correctly, so the screen goes black.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] gaetan505:
I think about that too

But why i can see the screen with mobiola and not with Pocket Controller? perhaps it is a drivers problem....

HTC has released the original AT&T ROM as a recovery strategy - should help folks facing the warranty blues.

HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) Original Ship ROM | 02.05.2010

This software is the actual ROM that the HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) shipped with. less

In the event that the device has a fatal error and cannot be recovered by Soft Resetting or Hard Resetting the device, it may be recovered by reloading the original ROM. Please note that during this recovery process, the device will be Hard Reset and anything that is NOT part of the Operating System (contacts, calendar, music, etc) will be permanently deleted; always make a point of backing up your devices data on a regular basis!

what he said -_-
[Nexus One General] scrappyabs2:
This is the second N1 phone that I've tried. The first one was zippy and my only complaint was dust leaking into the phone.

The replacement phone seems to be worse. No dust (had to use hairdryer to stop clicking, though), but I'm experiencing many other unpleasant issues.

1) Slowness. Switching between home screens and apps is sluggish, more sluggish than my first phone. Sometimes the home screen and browser freezes. My download speeds max out at 323 kilobytes/sec, which is unacceptable. Even my G1 was getting 800 kilobytes/sec.

2) Touch screen calibration. The calibration is all over the place, and a reboot doesn't always stabilize it.

3) Signal strength is poor. I get about 1 bar of 3g service in my home, whereas my first N1 and G1 had at least 3 bars. As I'm writing this email it has begun to switch between Edge and 3g, this never happened with my first N1 nor my G1. The phone was updated with the most recent fix as soon as I booted it up. I live in an area that got upgraded to 3g (t-mobile) about 8 months ago, FWIW.

4) The volume button doesn't click when pressed and you have to press it quite hard to get it to adjust the volume.

I am most definitely sending this thing back for a refund. The thing is, I don't have the retail box anymore. HTC kept it and sent my replacement in a non-marked cardboard box. Can I even get a refund at this point? Does the 14 day return period reset for replacements?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Best thing you can do is call HTC right away. Not sure how that will be handled man...
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Google finally has telephone support as well. I would call them as well, since they sold you the phone in the first place, and legally they are the ones responsible for the return and refund.

As well, if they say you can't return it because you did a swap once already, explain to them that THEY sold you a phone that was defective, did not rememdy the problem given a reasonable chance (1 swap is considered reasonable), and legally must honor the return. If they still refuse, contact your bank/credit card(which ever you used to buy it with) many times they will step in on your behalf and throw some muscle around. If they won't, you can file a small claim against them for the cost of the phone, all the court fees, plus a reasonable amount extra for wasting your time... I would say $1500 would be reasonable, and if that is too "high" the judge will just award you a smaller amount.
[Nexus One General] mgymnop:
Looks like HTC has some severe QC problems....I ordered a swap but now I am afraid to get an even bigger lemon.:mad:
[Nexus One General] scrappyabs2:
They want to charge me a $45 restocking (opened box) fee. Is this legal for a defective phone refund?
[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
Yep. They are obligated to replace it for free as many times as it takes for you to get one that is good, but they are NOT obligated to return your money.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Not entirely true.. there are some consumer protection laws that probably would require Google to give a full refund if they tried x number of times to replace the phone but each one was defective. Just like lemon laws for cars.
[Nexus One General] m_hawk_1:
It all depends how reasonable they are with trying to rectify the faults. I would recommend letting them have one more try at a replacement first.

The other option is to tell Google that you refuse liability for the restocking fee because the product was defective, you didn't just change your mind. Tell them that you will be instructing your credit card company to reject any restocking charge that appears on your account as it is unauthorized.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yup, it isn't a matter of returning the phone because you decided no... it is a matter of Google sending you a broken phone, which you have the legal right to return for a full refund without fear of any penalty.

As well, you even went a step further and gave them a chance to rectify the problem before you resorted to returning the device. Google has failed to fullfil their end of the purchase agreement, providing you with a brand new Nexus One in proper working order, and thus Google is liable for any and all costs associated with returning the phone.

If they say they won't return it without the restocking fee, contact you CC company, like hawk is saying to let them know not to accept the charge, as well contact your states Attorney General office(they are paid with tax dollars to help you with matter like this) and explain to them they sent you a broken phone, and are refusing to return your money. Trust me, once call from your state Attorney General's office, and your money will be back in your pocket faster than it left it.

PS: Let me add, your situation is a Dead on Arrival problem, and thus is different than if the phone malfunctioned a month from now. DOA's are not a Warranty issue, actually, they are a violation of the purchase agreement and subject to different rules and regulations.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zzedly:
Here's another odd little niggly thing I've found about my Touch Pro.

I normally have the volume at about 90% all the time. When I get in my truck and the phone automatically connects to my bluetooth stereo, the volume on the phone suddenly changes to mute. I then have to up the volume back to it's normal level.

The volume will stay put from then on, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the A2DP....

...except.....

...if I have to reboot the phone for some reason. After the reboot, the first time it connects to the bluetooth stereo it mutes again.

Any ideas why this is happening?
