I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with most of the posts here, Apple doing this is biting off WAY more than they can chew, as most of the patents stated are used in MANY varieties of operating systems both mobile and PC.
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
It's hard not to think that this is bullying by Apple. They know that Google could easily fight back, so instead they're suing the (relatively) little guy, and sending out a message to all other manufacturers that make Android devices (LG, Motorola, Samsung, Acer...) that they're opening themselves up to lawsuits. Cutting off Android at the manufacturer level. Probably a good strategy, but pretty low.

My personal (fairly non-informed) opinion is that companies don't generally intentionally blatantly rip off each others designs - instead, the field as a whole moves in a certain direction, and inevitably similarities arise between different products. The idea of pinching to zoom, for example (and I don't know if this specific lawsuit is referring to this) seemed amazing when we all first saw it. But at the time, the technology to do multi-touch on a display was emerging, and it was natural for UI designers then to ask themselves how they could leverage it. I'd imagine they made a list of common tasks, including things like opening/closing/zooming/scrolling, came up with a list of intuitive ways to achieve those things using multi-touch, and at that point it'd be difficult *not* to come up with pinch-to-zoom.

In other words, new technology was coming of age, the field was evolving, and Apple were just among the first to make an obvious implementation of (in this case) multi-touch. The same could be said for the evolution of the GUI itself in the early 80s - it must have coincided with graphics hardware that could enable it. No technology arises out of a vacuum.

I work in biology, and the same thing is being done for new genes and proteins. People are trying to patent them in such a way that those whose work they've indirectly built on are not credited at all, locking out those contributors from new developments in the field.

[Nexus One General] theomajigga:
What do you all think the implications of IFFFFF they were to win such a lawsuit???

Moto, samsung, google, just to name a few selling/manufactuing people..

Hell I even heard of a car that uses "android" as the OS indash?!??!?!

what does that mean for all of them?
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
For a start it only means anything in the US, since the rest of the world (afaik) does not have software patents _at all_.

If Apple win it would mean that HTC could no longer sell android phones in the US (aka HTC would have to settle with Apple).
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
I think Apple are in for an un-winable battle

If all of the phone manufacturers band together behind HTC, and Google has to take the gloves off, Apple will be fcuked out of this solar system.
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
No, if Apple wins, it means all manufacturers can no longer sell Android and Winmo phones in the US.

See the global picture here man, Apple is playing the "one win to win them all" game!
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I think the wording on this poll could be better. I do not approve of the lawsuit but that does not mean that Apple does not potentially have a case with at least some of the patents.

What Apple is doing is sowing uncertainty on the Android platform, attacking one of the manufacturers. Typically when a company feels they are being infringed upon they will first come seeking royalties. If the infringing company also holds patents in the space they could negotiate a covenant. Of the potential high profile targets (Google, Motorola, Palm if you include the Pre, and HTC) HTC seems the least likely to be holding a significant patent portfolio and thus able to countersue, forcing a deal.

It is difficult to create a device with an operating system without infringing on someone's patents to some extent. I find Apple's tactic of suing rather than making the better product disingenuous at best however. Apple is innovative and they have a great talent for delivering an intuitive, polished user experience. It is the gilded cage aspect of their products I have a problem with.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Beyond this consider the WIPO treaties. The results of an Apple victory in this case could carry ramifications beyond the U.S.

Hello, is there a way to get or enable uma on nexus one ?
[Nexus One General] stilv:
can anyone help, thanks
[Nexus One General] gururise:
As far as I know, nobody has implemented UMA on Android. In order to do so would probably require support for the UMA protocol in the Android framework instead of an add-on application.

That being said, there's probably nothing hardware-wise stopping anyone from doing this.
[Nexus One General] system6:
As of now, no. UMA is usually installed by the carrier and this is an "unlocked" phone.I get AWFUL service in my house and would KILL to have this available, but to no avail....

There are some VOIP apps, but most are difficult to set up and problematic. I used truphone which was simple, but the delay from their voice to mine was always 7 seconds+ and they though I wasn't on the line anymore. This is over an average 1.4mbps wireless N/G/B Router.

So Skype has signed a deal with Verizon, and Nokia, here is hoping that Google voice goes true VOIP and pairs with T-mobile.

As for the meantime, anyone have any results with any amps or repeaters?

Who would like to see an automatic switching of keyboard types when moving from portrait to landscape?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
If it could happen FAST I suppose I might, but seems like there would be a relatively noticable delay in switching from one to the other unless you had some kind of mash up of code from both. (judging by how long it takes to switch from htc_ime to stock). granted it's not much, but if I have to wait 2-3 seconds for my keyboard when i switch to landscape I personally wouldn't use it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
First, you need to copy the "nandroid" folder from your old SD card to your new one. Then, boot into Recovery Mode by shutting the phone down, then hold the Home button while you turn on the phone. (you can let go of the Home button after you get the start-up vibration.) From the Recovery Mode, select "nandroid restore" or whatever the similar option is. This will restore your most recent backup.

So if i understand it correctly,

Desire is NOT coming to T mobile for Sure ..

It will not work with T mobile frequencies, esp 3G network

which carrier will it work with ... better not AT&T

so basically no point of buying an unlocked phone then .. :mad:
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
It is rumored that AT&T will get the Desire. Wait it out until April-June. Also, if Telstra gets the Desire, AT&T customers can POSSIBLY import one and MAYBE catch 3G.

As far as "T" goes, I don't know if they will get the Desire since...well...there is the NX-1.

Either way, you will not be able to get 3G speed if you import the Desire. So if you want 3G, go with the Nexus. If not...go with the Desire ;)
[Desire General] guitargler:
Does T-Mo UK have the same 3G frequencies and whatnot as T-Mo US? Because according to MoDaCo's webiste, T-Mo UK IS getting the Desire. So if T-Mo US doesn't, we could always import and throw in our sim cards :]

The UK Desire wont work on US TMo 3G. Its radio only does 2100/900 and 2100 is what TMo UK uses. TMo US uses the 1700 frequency. Ironic that the Nexus 1 radio does 1700/2100/900 so it works on TMo UK 3G.

Evening all,

My phone has not been working since Sunday night, the screen and buttons are completely unresponsive. I recently put a password on the phone and when I turn it on it gets this far and I cannot enter anything to get any further.

I think a replacement handset is in order (this should be no problem) but my concern is getting a backup of the phone before I do. I've got backup software installed on it and want at the very least my contacts and recent text inbox details.

When I plug it in to the PC it tries to go to the "Disk Drive" option (I can't see this on screen but I know it is) so I can't do anything to make it use activesync.

Anybody have any ideas for me to backup the phone without being able to get into it?

You can try to remove your memory card thus forcing the phone to connect through ActiveSync when you plug it in.

All related.. all potentially embarrassingly simple answer, but I can't find them.

Scenario A: when I go into contacts, I can press and hold a phone # (ie. Fred's mobile) and make it "default".. the number gets a little check mark next to it.... BUT when I voice dial, and say "call fred"... it brings up fred's work #.. not the mobile #

a) what gives? how do I get it to prefer the # I made default?? (one would think that is what the default designation would do)

b) is there a way once it brings up the correct contact, but with the wrong #, to rotate between that contacts possible #s?

Scenario B: Go into call log, see a call from Fred on his mobile, but I want to call Fred at work.. I can press Fred and it offers "Call again".. but similar to b) above, is there a way to easily switch to Fred's mobile # instead?
