A stupid reason you say, who the hell are you to judge what is or isnt a valid reason?

I have tried beamreader etc etc, and the Nexus will not open these files.....

But i guess if you are not using a phone for more than messing around showing off to your mates, then real world useability issues wont bother you!

There are other reasons for sending it back, I didnt want to start slagging the phone off, and then be scalded by the likes of you for doing so!

The reception on the phone is bad

The notifications are bad

The battery life is bad

The sound quality from the speaker is really bad

These are my opinions, and I am fully entitled to them, you really shouldn't go round suggesting that people are not capable of solving problems, some of us dont have the time to solve what should work in the first place.

I have spent many hours with the HD2, and HSPL has made it into a far better device than the Nexus one!

The trouble with forums is that you really have no idea what the person writing the post is really like.

I never look down on anybody, and treat all people as equal, that way nobody feels insulted;)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Well if you had explained the real reason you were returning the phone (i.e. it is really bad in all those categories you mentioned), then we wouldn't have gotten a laugh off of you simply stating you were returning the phone cuz it wouldn't open password protected PDFs. The fact is that it DOES open password protected PDFs with any of those apps people pointed to... so your reasoning sounded suspect, and like a potential gag.

Anyway, it sounds like the real reason you don't want to phone is because you aren't used to Android (and perhaps willing to spend more time to get used to it). Android handles notifications better than any other platform. Period. Reception has more to do with your area than anything else... and battery life on this phone is superb! I easily get through a day with moderate to heavy use with at least 25% left, though generally more. I do agree about the speaker though, at least for playing music.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
^^^ Pretty much what uansari1 said.

Also "The reception on the phone is bad". Um. No. If you had said "The reception IN MY AREA is bad", then ok, I can't argue against that. But you can't just say the phone has bad reception, period, when there are people who live in areas that have downright amazing reception.

"The notifications are bad". :eek::eek::eek::eek: You're insane!!!!!!! Android has the best notifications of any smartphone OS. Again, if you said "I don't like them", fine. But to say they are bad, you're insane. Most likely, you're just not USED to them. Learn how to use them and I guarantee you will love this system ;)

"Bad" by itself is pretty subjective anyhow, since the same issue could be great for someone else.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Look, at the end of the day the guy can return for any reason he wants... maybe he thinks the color is wacky. That's fine. Anyway, let's get back on topic now.
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
I really dont want to get into a tat for tat, I am not insane, just realistic, and not hung up so much on a bit of technologhy to get that uptight about it.

the reception on the Nexus IS bad, especially compared to the HD2, and yes i suppose my area of the UK has a bearing on this.

The notifications are not as good as winmo on the HD2, with the HD2 all types , ie mail, sms etc, are very easy to see, and very easy to act upon.

The calendar reminders are superb, very quick to snooze, reset or adjust, and i use 20-30 reminders each day, and this is where time is important, I just need a phone to work, not have to constantly find workarounds, ive done enough of this with the HD2.

when running a business, and being out and about in a van a hell of a lot each day, things like this are very important, but like I said, the guy that just has a phone because its the latest greatest show off tool won't really care.

I have MOD and private sector emails sent with protected PDF files, and I can tell you for a fact that the Nexus I have WILL NOT OPEN THEM, with or without beamreader etc etc blahh blahh, I have it here, and I know it wont open them!!

On the plus side though, the Nexus screen is very very nice, I love the skymap app, made walking the dog a lot more interesting, the youtube app is far better than the HD2, (would have liked flash though for web sites and webcams), I guess it really depends on what you want the phone for, and I think it's not really as much of a business tool as the HD2.

[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
double post upon edit, sorry
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
Ok, never let it be said I dont try.

I stopped the collection today on the Nexus.

I have retried getting my mail pdfs again, and here are the pics of the results.

This is an AOL account, and that may be the issue, i cant even open non protected pdfs from within it, just see the pics.

Now non protected files will open in the gmail account, strange....but I dont have protected pdf traffic on that account.

So guys, what do ya reckon? As I said, the files will not open.....
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
I would try to forward that email with the attachment to your gmail or another email account and see if it works then. As you said the AOL account might be the culprit.
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
That was my next step after the last post, and indeed it is AOL causing the issues.

What a pain in the butt, i keep my gmail account purely for incoming faxes that are sent via efax, that way all i get is faxed orders on that account.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One General] bumskins:
So the attachments are downloading fine on the HD2 I take it?

Possibilities are:

a) Might be a setting in AOL (don't know, don't use it).

b) Forward a copy of your AOL messages to your gmail account or a gmail account.
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
Yep done that as stated, sent one to the gmail account and it opened no problem.

The HD2 can open them no problem too, cant see any settings that can be changed via aol mail page to make any difference.
[Nexus One General] nexusonetwothree:
You shouldn't be allowed to return your phone on the account of being stupid lol
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Can you open any attachments from the AOL account successfully?

You're not alone with AOL woes either it seems:

You must be really dumb and probably very ugly and a virgin too, funny that, I can tell all that just from a few words on a screen, grow up and stop insulting people, if you have some valid input, then bring it on, otherwise just wind your neck in.
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
No, I cant open any attachments at all on the AOL account, which is a real pain, its my main business mail address thats been used for over 6 years, way before my own domain email addy, no way I can change now.

Thanks for the links, ill do some more searching to try and find out why...

Why don't you set up your Gmail to automatically collect your AOL email? Is there any specific reason for you to specifically use that account without it being forwarded to another?
[Nexus One General] theomajigga:
I was just wondering if you had tried to use an alt browser? just to see if maybe it is the way that the stock browser is DL'ing the attachements (hint Dolphin Browser)

Give that a shot and shout out if it helps?
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
Ok, now this sounds like a plan, how would i go about that.

I could then start to get people to change over to my gmail account over the coming months until i ditch the aol account.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] j.bruha:
You don't have to ditch the AOL account at all. You'll just be setting Gmail up to receive all of your AOL emails and they'll be labeled accordingly so you'll know which emails are from AOL and which are from Gmail. Just sign in to your Gmail on a desktop and hit Settings>Accounts and fill out your AOL information under the Add a new email address section. If you need help, do a search for Google's Mail Fetcher.
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
What's an AOL? j/k

but seriously, who uses AOL? even more to the point, why?

edit: after more research, I found out why: they're still using their free trial cd's from 10 years ago
[Nexus One General] rydr1:
You are right on the money there. There have been a tremendous amount of complaints about the phone in order for the person complaining about it to justify their return.

How about these people do some searching around and ask questions before they jump the gun on a phone they didnt really want.
[Nexus One General] pastypacker:
I have had an AOL email addy for a lot of years, and it has been linked to my business for the same period of time, i had aol broadband at the time, and thats how i have an aol email addy.

It makes ****e business sense to change a long established email addy for the sake of a phone.

I wonder how many of you guys run a business and actually NEED a phone at all.

I dont have to justify returning anything to anyone, the return policy is there due to the distance selling laws, if you could actually go in to a shop and try one, then there would probably a lot less people laying down £450.......

As with any tool for my business, if it doesn't perform how I want it to, it goes...simples

In this case, i will probably sell it instead of returning it, it's a great phone, but the HD2 does a better job for me.

I gotta go, actually work for a living and cant spend all day posting on forums....

Patsypacker - can i ask if you managed to get a refund for your VAT bill?

I'm returning mine as i think i'll wait for the desire instead.

I haven't got my vat bill yet, so i'm wondering if i can ...not pay it, and just show DHL proof of return.

anyone done this?
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
I'm pretty sure you can't as DHL actually paid the VAT bill for you to the government. So they have actually already paid the money, so you can't just send it back and say you just didn't want it.
[Nexus One General] ninjakettle:
I understand that, but if i provide notice of return, can't they reclaim from her majesty?
[Nexus One General] Mafian:

I've contacted HMRC about VAT return, just thought someone may have gone through this already and could advise. Will post their response.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberkid2002:
Hi all,

I wondered if anyone is using Hullomail and having problems with the alerts? For some reason the app isn't giving me any kind of alert when I receive a new voicemail (visual or sound). I am presuming (as I do not get a lot of voicemail) that over time the memory manager is closing the app and as such do not get the alerts (or possibly the app not restarting automatically after a phone reboot). Would this sound about right?

Is there any fix for it other than to get alerts sent to email (I already do this but would definately be nice to get the alerts to flash up on the phone.

If there is no fix is there another visual voicemail available in the UK with a more reliable notification system. I need to know when I am receiving voicemail without having to log-in to the system to check.

Cheers,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] Pillock:
I use it, i just have the alerts sent to email since that plus the missed call alert normally tells me what I need to know.

I would like to see a HulloMail Counter widget though, like the email/messaging ones with the numbers overlaid on the top. That would be useful.

Have you tried emailing HulloMail support? I messed up my account and had a really good experience - they got straight back to me to tell me they were looking into it (proper human reply), and then again when it was sorted, late on Christmas Eve!
[Android Apps and Games] puresnow:
I am almost positive a better solution would be Google Voice. Transposed VM to email or use the Google Voice App. Much better integration and zero problems.

tanx!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
Download the attached DeviceLock.exe. Copy this file into your /Windows folder and edit your registry:

HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeRSKPath

change the value to

/Windows/DeviceLock.exe

Also...

HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeRSKText

change the value to

Lock

You can of course put DeviceLock.exe other places and change HomeRSKPath accordingly. Soft reset after the changes to registry.

Still no :(

I think we have 2 option, or a custom rom of the 6.5.2 or a 6.1 rom. After all 6.5 isnt that great thing, ok more usable with touch but i can live without it. Plus wm6,1 have 2000 themes, this titanium is cool idea but no themes and the generator online is just a joke :(

Any ideas how to solve this one?

Ok this is only a problem when I filter by Album. If I look at artist Guns and Robbie are separate.

Hi guys. It's my first post here. I need help on my htc snap non camera version.

Everything worked fine till one day I wanted to "start all over" again. So I factory reset.

After I did that, everything was ok except my email. I setup my email accounts but whenever i want to send an email, there isn't anyone in my contact list.

Do you guys remember just after setting up email, you will receive tip and tricks message? When you try to key in the first few letters of the email add, the whole email address will appear below? Mine does not at all. I cannot find any email contacts also.

Please help me out guys...
