I'm not sure if someone has done a thread like this before but I wanted to know your personal experiences on these 3 devices:

1. N900

2. HD2

3. Nexus 1

Only comment if you own the phones and list what you like or don't like about it. Thanks :)
[General Topics] donutman:
I have the n900. It is pretty bad ass. I love the multitasking and flash web browsing. I can access sites like justin.tv with no problems. One thing that is lacking is the amount of good apps available. Which is normal considering its still early in its stages. But with flash, anything that available in apps, I can get from a website. I still prefer apps though. Having android withdrawls after recently dropping my g1. The n900 made a great companion to the G1. I now plan to get the N1 when I am availble for upgrade and use that in companion with the n900.
[General Topics] darkmuck:
n900

I've had the N900 since it was released. It is an amazing device, but it has quite a few limitations. I was a previous HTC TYTN II owner and a soon to be Touch Pro2 owner. I am thinking about switching to the Touch Pro2 and selling my N900 for a couple of reasons. The N900 is an extremely powerful device with a ton of potential. However, with MeeGo coming out, slow firmware updates, etc. I am not sure that it is the best choice over the HD2 or Nexus One.

Limitations From my POV (reasons I may switch back to WM)

-Sync with Google/Ovi is incomplete/not working unless you use a 3rd party solution

-Landscape only!!! This can get really annoying while doing things such as driving

-Limited app selection - Missing MANY important things: Google Maps is a good example (Ovi Maps isn't very good)

-Maybe not a true smartphone? - The built-in PIM functions feel really limited in scope when compared to WM and S60 (not sure about android)

-Keyboard is OK, but it is a bit cramped - it doesn't slide out very far and it only has 3 rows

-Expensive ~$500 - You can find a Touch Pro2 for as low as $275 or less if you shop around

-The hardware inside is amazing and it 'looks' nice, but the casing feels average if not somewhat cheap for such an expensive device

Other things to think about

-Maemo browser is amazing, but Opera 10 for WM is pretty much just as good, w/ the exception of Flash

-Maemo has a great interface and multi-tasking

-automatic application updates and a good amount of free applications that are centrally located (easy to find)

-N900 has 32GB built in - although 16GB cards and soon 32GB cards will be available soon

-N900's Camera and screen are amazing

Basically what it comes down to is that the N900 has AMAZING hardware specs and performs well, but Maemo is really incomplete and its future on the N900 is unknown with MeeGo coming up. Also don't forget to factor in limited application selection and sync abilities (syncML doesn't exist OTA on N900).

EDIT: I forgot to add, that I guess the main deciding factor in me choosing the Touch Pro2 may have been cost as well. Its hard to carry around something so expensive, worrying about messing it up or losing it. Swapping phones w/ TP2 would save me ~$250. If I were you I'd choose the Nexus One as Android really is looking to be the big future platform to compete with iPhone, but this phone is somewhat expensive as well.
[General Topics] giggles33:
you like carrying around two phones? I hate it, and when I don't use one of my other phones I miss it. I have a HTC Touch HD WM 6.5, NOkia E71 (my love) and just ordered n900. I'm hoping n900 pleases me, if not then I'll go for N1.

Does the n900 lag? someone told me that when you have multiple sms's going, the internet, and music it lags and skips and what not. I hope this isn't the case. I like the actual keyboard, which is one of the main reasons I'm getting it, but I also like N1s voice activated sms and etc. I guess I'll just wait and see!

Thanks for your input :)
[General Topics] darkmuck:
It has a tiny tiny amount of lag when switching programs and all that but its nothing bad at all considering the abilities of the phone (n900).

But I only plan on carrying one device at a time. I just got the touch pro2 so once I decide which to keep I'll sell the other.
[General Topics] giggles33:
well if you're ever interested in the HTC touch HD running WM 6.5 let me know :) I'm trying to sell mine
[General Topics] galaxys:
I'm very happy with the Nexus One...it rocks! See it's forum section for full details & advantages.
[General Topics] donutman:
I don't mind carrying around two phones. One is for regular calls and the other is for "business" calls (got to keep the feds off me! :D). As for lag, I have not noticed it. I've ran multiple web pages with flash video, AIM, app manager, internet radio and took photos all at the same time with no lag.
[General Topics] giggles33:
I simply loooove the n900!!!
[General Topics] Gosseyn:
If you want the Nexus One, I suggest you to wait for HTC Desire, it's the HTC version of Nexus One, expect if you love the nexus one design.

PS: N900!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
I'm sure most of you know how to get this done already. But this is a new forum and bound to be new people dropping by. For those of you who are still trying to figure this out...

I've found that Advanced Config tends to mess a few things up on our phones as not all the key's are the same as HTC phones.. (if u are looking for a tweaking program woodhole from lg-expo.com has put together quite a few good tweaks.. i'm still hoping he'll cross post a link here you all can check it out)

so to manually edit your registry you'll need a program for that:

Total Commander works great for me and my needs

However, LG was nice enough to provide a reg editor but doesn't seem to be as user friendly. it's called TascalRegEdit.exe and can be found in the /windows directory

in registry navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INBOX\SETTINGS\SMSNoSentMsg

change the value from 0 to 1

reboot.

cheers :)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] jug6ernaut:
HLKM? o really? hehe...

here i made a cab for everyone :)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] anderson.mike.g:
Can't get sms sent notification to turn off.

I feel so defeated.

I've tried three ways to kill the Sent Notification:

1. Change the registry manually (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings).

2. Install juggernaut's cab

3. Replace the HTCMessageSent.exe file, per ookba. (Original file is read-only and can't be deleted).

I've got a Verizon HTC Ozone and the only mod that I've made is to install the new rom that updates to WM6.5 from HTC's site.

That damned SMS sent notification is killing me!!

Is my device ignoring me?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] Dark9781:
There could be something in the registry that is preventing you from killing it. For the IQ users there was a reg in the LG Idles (UI from LG) that was preventing it. Perhaps HTC has something similar in their UI.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] jug6ernaut:
what device u on anderson?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
you do know this is the LG EXPO / IQ forum rite?

i doubt what we've got here is gonna be working correctly for you HTC ozone!

try advanced config 3.3 and disable sms sent notification should work fine..
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] platnm6309:
a good registry editor is regedit and is pretty user friendly.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] killerskincanoe:
User Jayant was nice enough to provide us with some info bound to be useful once we can get some custom roms made for the eXpo and IQ

just re-posting this here in the new forum

Emergency Download Mode:

1. Turn the handset off.

2. Remove USB cable if you have it attached.

3. Slide out the QWERTY keyboard.

4. Press 'SPACE' key on the phone. Keep it pressed.

5. Insert the MicroUSB cable into the device. Keep the 'SPACE' key pressed.

6. 'Emergency Download' logo is displayed on the screen.

Normal Download Mode:

1. Turn the handset off.

2. Remove USB cable if you have it attached.

3. Slide out the QWERTY keyboard.

4. Press 'ENTER' key on the phone. Keep it pressed.

5. Insert the MicroUSB cable into the device. Keep the 'ENTER' key pressed.

6. LG logo comes up followed by the Windows Mobile boot logo. Continue to keep the 'ENTER' key pressed.

7. 'Normal Download' logo is displayed on the screen.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] jug6ernaut:
What are the differences between these two modes?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] killerskincanoe:
your guess as good as mine
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Brian McFadden:
Emergency Download mode will flash the phone completely. Normal mode will backup the NVRAM before the flash, then reflash, reboot, wait for the phone to come back up (it will come back up into normal mode), and then it will restore the NVRAM.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] jug6ernaut:
whats the nvram?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] killerskincanoe:
non volatile ram ... stays in mem even without power i believe
[Nexus One General] whodatfever:
I have a couple of questions:

Does unlocking the unused 256MB of memory produce a noticeable difference in performance?

Will Divx finally work (cause that xyflash program does not produce smooth results)

I know it voids your warranty with HTC but if you are paying for a Tmobile monthly protection plan will you be able to still switch it out in the event of a failure?

Is Flash working on any current ROM?

I don't have any of the reported 3G problems but my speeds are kinda dog-****. I average about 300kbps during the day and twice that in the middle of the night (in New Orleans area-sorry Colts & Vikings fans). Are 3G speeds increased or is that a network issue?

Is there a preferred method to backing up software purchsed on the Market and will I have to re-install everything again?

Will I be able to save apps2sd?

and finally.....is this site : http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3

the most current and accurate info for flashing and rooting?

I thank you all for any input as I have been debating for some time on whether to do this. I flashed every WinMo phone I've had ( about 4 of them) and never had any complaints but never having done an Android, I am a little nervous.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Okay, let's go:

Absolutely. Any custom ROM running with himem or the .32/.33 kernel zoom by like... well, like Sonic the Hedgehog. Exception being the Desire ROMs, but those aren't yet optimized. Cyanogen's, Enomther's and Modaco's non-Desire ROMs are pretty amazing.

Afraid not. But Divx support is slated for the HTC Desire, which will almost certainly be ported to N1 ROMs (if Google doesn't release an update to include Divx support before then, anyway).

HTC still takes care of hardware failures. So if you get dust under screen or something, they'll take it in, or so people with unlocked bootloaders have said.

Yep! All Desire ROMs have Flash lite. Doesn't run everything perfectly, but will run most Flash sites okay.

Titanium Backup takes care of this.
[Nexus One General] seanowns:
Titanium Backup is fantastic: Just make sure to get premium version. It makes restoring applications 50x easier, and entirely worth 4 bux the first time.

SetCPU is also a no brainer.
[General Questions and Answers] salvatore1097:
Hi,

i have htc td2 with wm 6,5 original rom,

after a soft reset, when i tap the start menu , i can not see any icon of programs. list is empty, there is only one icon which is Today icon.

can u help me?

thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Senax:
Or you try to install Total Commander and goto

\Windows\ directory

See if Startmenu is present, if not create that directory and within it you should see/create;

Program Files

Settings

Know that on all phones 'Settings' is empty!

Now set TC (I have TC set to Show Virtual 2 window Mode) in one screen to

*1 Windows\

and the other screen to

*2 Windows\Startmenu\Program Files\

Then search in TC for .exe to show all executable files..

Then press the little CTRL button below in TC and multiple select your desired programs.. Then goto Menu - File - Create shortcut(s)

Or if the above does not work, a hard reset is all that's left.

Success,

Senax
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
This Donut 1.6 ROM is made by PaY87.

It's fast and stable.

Everything is working except the camera.

I take no credit for this work other than for posting updated kernel ports for the 32A new radios.

I don't take credit for the port because it was made with arctu's MAGIC Port tool which is getting better and better.

So what do I get credit for? Not much, other than for liking this ROM and trying to bring it to all of you who are using the new radios :)

DONATE!

If you like arctu's work and feel that he should continue maintaining it, donate to him: through the MAGIC Port page

If you think that the kernel DEVS should be appreciated more, donate to THEM: Cyanogen, OpenEclair Team, Cursordroid, Sanpei, Superatmel, PaY87, etc.

Now for some links.....

Here is the original post / thread for the ROM:

[ROM] Pays-ROM v1.5 Home++ [Now (optional) DUSTED JIT enabled] [28 FEB 2010]

You will need 2 files; (1) the ROM, (2) the 32a port.

(1)

Download

the current 32b / Dream [ROM] Pays-ROM v1.5 Home++ [Now (optional) DUSTED JIT enabled] [28 FEB 2010] here

(2)

Download

the 32a port for the NEW RADIOs:

EBI1_PaysROM_Donut_v1.5_FD_Dusted_32A_SP_NR_Port_signed to use Sanpei's kernel for the new radios everything except camera seems to be working

Instructions:

The port is for the Magic 32a with the new radio.

I am not responsible if you brick your phone.

As far as I know everyone who has followed these instructions has loaded the ROM successfully without problems.

You need new radio 6.35.10.18, SPL 1.76.2007 and recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2 to get this to load on your 32a Magic.

If you do not know how to update / change your radio, SPL and recovery don't proceed or go learn how here at Cursor's post.

1. Download the ROM from link above.

2. Download the 32a new radio port from the links above.

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. Wipe Dalvik-cache

5. Wipe SD:ext partition

6. Flash ROM.

7. Flash port.

8. Reboot.

Everything except camera seems to work on this ported ROM.

m0rph3us,

Hi, I can help with something.

I've ported tinboot NAND bootloader to Nike.

Everything works exclude: sound, screen and board turn off, charging in poweroff state, buttons backlight, camera and bluetooth. phone still cannot enter sleepmode and gets hot as hell in few minutes. but it works from NAND.

I've already asked dzo about problems with Nike and he answered that "more hardware needs to be initialized by kernel".

patch is aviable here, maybe I will upload NBH's if anybody insterested.

and also, may be it is time to start public git repo somewhere? github, gitorious, sourceforge...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi rzk333, just take a look at the threads and I must be honest to all the guy's in this thread but unfortenally this is far above my hat, I really would like to help you guy's but I need my phone for cooking, is there another way to help you all.

to rzk333

Have you tried this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5452606&postcount=184 from tinboot thread. Zenity made this procedure make WiFI and GPS work. I also believe that all hardwares are generated from haret. Maybe you can pick out something from there to initialize some hardware?

Good luck!

:)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rzk333:
we have more complicated case here with Nike than with Kaiser, that method was needed to store wifi calibration and some gps stuff.

With Nike we need to trace everything that happening with kernel when it boots with HaRET (and winmo initialized hw) and when in boots from nothing (hw from NAND coldboot), and find differences\bugs. See dzo's patches on NAND boot for Kaiser/Polaris and patch for preparing Vogue for nand in linuxtogo git repo.

I have the theory and tried everything, but I'm not good at kernel C and reversing from winmo, maybe someone will be interested in NAND boot and help.

ps: sorry for bad English.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] m0rph3us:
Hey its great, do you have an nbh or the source??? the hardware stuff is initialized by the kernel, and i am working on the sleep, seems that dzo an crew made some changes that prevent the phone to sleep well or to wake up.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] arleybarros:
can you upload the NBH for us?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rzk333:
no problem, here they are, NBH's with dzo's kernel for now.

I cant compile kernel from our git with sleep fixes, throws "arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:6: fatal error: asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: No such file or directory", so I set pm.sleep_mode to 0 in kernel cmdline.

http://rzk.sadistto.net/NIKIIMG-320.NBH - 240*320

http://rzk.sadistto.net/NIKIIMG-428.NBH - 320*428

http://rzk.sadistto.net/NIKIIMG-480.NBH - 320*480

remember, this can really wipe your phone out, USE ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm not responsible for anything happen with your device.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
To compile the kernel from m0rph3us git you nee to merge dzo's kernel in somehow. I can compile it if i copy the code from the git over the files of a copy of dzo's source, thuss loosing some of the newer patches.

I also managed a full merge by hand, but this takes some time and has to be repeated after each git pull.

If you want the phone to wake up with sleepmode 1 set you can also patch in my commit from m0rph3us git in dzo's kernel (its a one line patch). I know that full sleep still won't work, but at least it doesn't hang when the screen powers of. It gives me a good battery life with an older ion build.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jockyw2001:
I have not tried android yet with my HTC devices, but I wonder if booting Android is easier on a security unlocked device where it is possible to load and execute an app bootloader from ram without need for starting WM. I'm referring to my FrankenKaiser SPL loader published here.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
1) Store the corresponding mp3 files under Application Data\Sounds. Afterwards you will be able to choose the ring tone in the settings (sounds and notifications).

5) It's exactly the same. Use the Ctrl. key on the onscreen keyboard (the original one with the tiny keys, not any third party keyboards). Or use a third party explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer. They usually come with a multi selection function.

8) Use the official Divx Mobile from Divx.com or TCPMP (a search will do it). These are the free programs. A commercial solution is Core Player which is available on coreplayer.com.

That's my contribution I cant answer the other questions.

[HD2 General] iang123:
Hi,

I use my HD2 and plug it directly into my usb port on my car stereo, and use it as a disk drive. The only thing is, is when I remove it and try to use the phone agiain, the HTC music player freezes up, and the programs that are stored on my storage card fail to open, as if it were still plugged in and using the Disk Drive option on the USB to PC setting.

If i go into the usb to PC setting and change to active sync before unplugging it everything works fine though.

Basicaly, I was just wondering if thre was like a safely remove hardware app, or something similar that I could put as a quick link to save having to go into the setttngs every time i disconnect.

Cheers

Ian
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I dont think there is anything like 'safely remove hardware', but THIS will show you how to make a quicklink that pops up USB to PC screen on your phone with one click, so you can switch back to activesync much quicker.

(The example at the bottom is the one you want.)

The "safely remove hardware" option would have to be on the car radio, not on the HD2 ;)
