[Nexus One General] Pitnefor:
Totaly worth it. I LOVE my new nexus one.

The iPhone pales in comparison.

Apple really sucks. The only reason the iPhone is popular is because it came out first. If android came out first, apple would hardly have any customers--just like MAC's vs PC's today
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
I do love the phone, and i came from an oldschool T-Mobile Dash so it was a night and day difference...

I will admit the ****ty touch screen does get on my nerve sometimes
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I love everything about the N1, including the touchscreen.
[Nexus One General] optimus82:
for the money... i think its a deal. compare it(specs/price) to any other unlocked phone. i could never go back to using the g1 or any other 528mhz android device. after i recieved the n1, i couldnt believe i spent even just $200/$250 for the g1 and mytouch.
[Nexus One General] sinclac:
I went ahead and ordered one yesterday thanks for all the input guys.

I should get it Tuesday.
[Nexus One General] e-dub:
congrats, you're gonna love it!
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
The N1 is an awesome phone and I was going to buy it yesterday...BUT because nobody in this forum wanted to answer my question about the loudspeaker volume with Desire ROM if it's get way better or just a little, I decided to wait another month to get the Desire which will surelly have a stronger loudspeaker
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Absolutely.... N1 is worth 600$$...

1. Best hardware in the market and isn't all that expensive... Way better than 3gs.

2. The best thing about it is android. Its open sourced, so expect an upgrade every month (either from google or from other developers)...

3. Customizing the phone won't be a problem at all...

4. Its unlocked...

5. Apps in the market are increasing as we speak.. So soon we'll say "There's an app for that". Most of the apps are free :)

6. I'm sure you know about the better display, camera, maps, google apps etc. already.

Just google cyanogen and see what his roms have to offer... You're going to love it......
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
yeeesssssssss!!!!
[Nexus One General] erebusting:
NO it is not.... how could you think about spending that much on a BRAND NEW PHONE which already has an OUTDATED Multi Touch sensor ? It gets confused when you have more than one finger on it and cross axis' ....I cant it when I think about it..I am seriously considering returning mine.... hoping for some newer tech to reach TMO USA...otherwise I will get a better phone on another network if I must...
[Nexus One General] KidTech:
You didnt like the N1 and HD2
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
You will not even notice this unless you play games that require this specific action. There have also been rumors that Google has addressed this issue with Froyo - not to mention that if you haven't noticed - every HTC phone until the Incredible used the same touchsreen as the Nexus, and have you heard anyone complain like idiots until now?

I'm going to to on a limb here, and say the issue can be at least made to be less noticeable.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
So the multitouch issue is because of the software not the hardware?
[Nexus One General] xCALLmeKING:
Yes...the Nexus One is worth buying. I purchased mine for $600 and have been happy with it.

My only question is do you really need the SIM unlocked model? For me I had no choice, I was already locked into a T-Mo contract and had no phone upgrade available.

Now if you are wondering if the SIM unlocked model is worth $600...I would have to say no. Next time I'm gonna wait for my phone upgrade to be available. But hind-sight is always 20/20
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
can you give me one example where the Y axis cross over issue makes the phone not work right and unusable? what app is it effecting? cause it doesn't make one bit of difference when I use the phone.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Exactly my train of though :/

Until games (most likely thing that will require complicated multi-touch) like that come out, then I can be mad about it. Multi-Touch paint even works well.. (not that I even "need" this). Along with GameBoid, where on some games you must hold down "B" why walking to run.

I wish a popular website would make a post saying almost how not noticeable this issue is, the Nexus's name is almost shattered..
[Nexus One General] Ryands991:
If you can throw down the cash to buy the phone at full price, and get a non-contract plan, you'll end up SAVING money at the end of 2 years.
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Yes, its software issue and maybe fixed in next update (FroYo)...

N1 has no hardware issue... its a great build...
[Nexus One General] erebusting:
what are you talking about...its due to the hardware...the multitouch sensor is not as accurate as the newer ones in the Incredible and the Supersonic (the maXtouch sensor)...if you want to see what I mean:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/nexus-ones-multitouch-confused-more-easily-than-droids/

....now you can download that app and try it for yourself it is called max touch vis test or something like that...its on the market BTW...

Now I hope this can be solved by fixing the software (that would be really nice!)...but until I see/hear proof that it can be done or will be done, then I am still skeptical...

Now this issue will certainly seem to arise when you try to play emulators (you will be using at least two thumbs/fingers...one for direction the other for action buttons which will most likely be on the same axis)...please correct me if I am wrong (i.e. if someone tried the emulators and did not have issues)...
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Read my post a few scrolls up and see how I just said it doesn't effect emulators. Well at least not GameBoid.

Get an N1 before making false assumptions. Or have you just not tried an emulator?
[Nexus One General] erebusting:
I have not tried an emulator. Now see even though you may not notice it now because theres no software which uses the new features of the maxtouch...what will you do/how will you feel when there IS new software/games which do need/require the features/capabilities of the maxTouch sensor? You will be stuck... why would you want to limit yourself if you do not have to? I Guess you can say its like getting a boat with one motor for a race knowing that you could just as well have gotten one with two more powerful motors for the same price or maybe 50$ or so more only...? (not a good analogy maybe, but you get the the point)

Don't get me wrong -I really love this phone... just being picky since I am spending this much money -I would like to get the best or at least contemplate what I should do while I have this opportunity.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Well yea, if there are games that seriously need it I may get irritated.. but I have a Wii and XBOX 360, and laptop. Mobile gaming isn't my thing, and im not just saying that to sound like the N1 is great - but I don't really play many games on my phone.. unless I'm really bored.. it just is really boring..
[Nexus One General] erebusting:
hmm well what would you want such a powerful phone for in the first place?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Um.. I really just don't know o_0.. if we had quality games, then maybe I would like mobile games more.. iPhone is currently kicking our butt in the game department, but Google is trying

I just enjoy having a smartphone I guess..
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
we've all seen that but you're not understanding. that makes no difference whatsoever. the nexus isn't "less accurate" than the other phones. it registers exactly where you press (well except for the one bug!). like I asked above, name me ONE app where this issue happens that effects using the phone. just one.

the point is there is none yet that is effected. maybe once complex games come out, but for now, it doesn't matter one bit.
[Nexus One General] erebusting:
I can name one type of incident.... What if an emulator has buttons on the same axis ...i.e. direction pad lower left...buttons lower right...if you press both at the same time the error will occurr...example: SNES emulator- the start and select buttons are on the same plane as the directions and also the action buttons.....

but it does not matter if there is no app which will cause this error,the error is there and you cannot ignore it -if there ARE those apps out -how will we use them ? Get a new phone I guess ?.....
[Nexus One General] scottac78:
I haven't read any of the other posts but I will go ahead and add my thoughts. I have been an enormous android fan from the very beginning. I bought the t mobile g1 days after its release and used it til the day the nexus one was released. I was so excited about this new device. On paper it was the perfect purchase for me.

However. After two replacements I finally gave in and spent all afternoon on the phone with google and htc and was finally able to convince them to give me my money back.

I experienced pretty much all the issues that a lot of nexus one users are complaining about. But to be more precise I will go ahead and list the major ones to avoid any confusion

-Random reboots. in the middle of calls, while browsing, it didn't matter, and this would happen almost daily.

-3g connectivity issues (with g1 siting right next to it the nexus one 3g would continuously switch back and forth between edge and 3g.

-SMS messages would not send. I could receive but not send. The only remedy was to reboot.

-And screen issues. Presses that I didn't make would register. But most often the press would just register in the wrong location. Turning screen off and back on would remedy this however it would happen on average twice a day.

.

Its not worth it at all if you ask me. Unless there is an OTA coming soon that will address these issues i would stay far away from this phone.

I now own the new droid incredible through verizon and so far I am very happy with my decision to switch.

I don't know what the deal is with this phone but it is almost like it was cursed from the beginning. And dint forget. If you do have trouble with yours if you buy it, good luck with your effort to get your issues resolved. Although the customer service has goren better over the recent few weeks. I was still getting bounced around and transfer between google htc in what seemed like 5 minute intervals over the course of this last afternoon. No one knew who was responsible for what and it was a complete nightmare talking to these service representatives.
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
ive imported the phone n it costed me usd600...to me its totally worth it...luckily, i havent experienced anything bad on my nexus but ove only had it for more than over a month...

overall, its been a pleasure to use n i can safely say this is the best phone ive ever owned. fyi, my previous phones (past 2 years) were iphone 2g, htc touch diomond, se X1, nokia e71, iphone 3gs...the nexus one kills them all in terms of user experience, power, speed, customability n outright fun to use....

get it..it'll change ure perception of what a mobile device cn do these days
[Nexus One General] tonnic:
no phone is worth $600. that being said, the N1 is my favourite phone that I have had. closest thing to a pc because you can change all of the apps on it. I come from an iPhone and the biggest difference is the touchscreen and UI. I can't really stand typing on the N1, but had no problems with the iPhone.

sooooo to answer your question, if you have the cash to drop, then definitely get an android phone over anything else out there.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
true I was just trying to get the point across that this issue A) doesn't really make the phone function any differently in its current form, people see that and think its actually a serious issue, and B) its possible maybe the next update will fix it.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Swype. Problem solved.
[Nexus One General] sasha101:
well someone stole my nexus one from me. I have insurance on it and bought derectly from google. How much is the insurance price? 100? and i can get a new one right?
[Nexus One General] tribalmunky:
Well the question would be where did you get insurance from? T-Mobile? SquareTrade? You'd be paying the deductible to the insurance provider.

Edit: Also, why don't you have WaveSecure?
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
the deductible is $130
[Nexus One General] sasha101:
I had "lookout" and the story is I got really drunk yesterday and dropped it on main street. I woke up today and went straight to lookout and i saw where it was. It was like right at the wall of a store. When I got there it wasnt there... I think the lady who works in the store had it.. I was stupid because i put it too scream at my house and not at the store so when i got to the store to check if it was screaming the phone was turned off...
[Nexus One General] mautai916:
Thats why every Nexus One user should have Wave Secure downloaded... Hope you can get this issue resolved soon!
[Nexus One General] sasha101:
yeah I had both. D:
[Nexus One General] hktony:
can Wave Secure be able to lock recovery mode ? and prevent wiping data or flashing ROM ?
[Nexus One General] tribalmunky:
Nope, doesn't protect recovery mode. But the thief would have be educated about the device to know to boot into it. With WaveSecure you can backup contacts, call log and text messages. As well as wipe data from the phone. It will notify you and make a map if the SIM in the phone has been changed too which is pretty handy.

Edit: Also forgot basic feature, it locks the phone when you send the command and posts contact information you provide on the screen of the device in hopes the person is a good Samaritan.
[Nexus One General] hktony:
so the best option is to buy insurance :)
[Nexus One General] Jackasaur:
I'm so glad I bought insurance, *PHEW if I ever got my phone stolen I'd be devastated. -_-
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
So actually you LOST your phone... it's not like someone actually stole it from your possession.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
This is why I keep wavesecure and mobile defense on my phone.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
Let us know if you get a nexus back or some other phone, I've heard asurion doesn't carry the nexus and if we make a claim we only get a 'like' phone in return. I've been dying to know... You do have asurion right? Through tmobile?
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Bummer...hope the insurance & replacement work out quickly!
[Nexus One General] EdwardUong:
Dude, I just hang myself for losing the phone. I've spent too much on it. :D
[Nexus One General] e-dub:
who are you guys insuring yours through? I have the at&t version, so no asurion here.
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
that's why i love my $2.50/month with zero deductible insurance plan.
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
call whomever you have your car/renter/homeowner insurance with and ask for a "personal articles" policy... mine costs around $30 a YEAR with zero deductible. no questions asked, they don't care what your rom/root/etc. status of the phone is.
[Nexus One General] e-dub:
time to call geico. thanks!
[Nexus One General] mautai916:
since you "LOST" it, your only hopes of recovering it is when someone picks it up, charges it, and turns it on. THEN you can use wave secure to track it via GPS
[Touch Cruise General] BrianGM:
Hi

I have a two-pronged issue:

1. Changed my operator from Cellcom to Orange in Israel and receive a msg "The operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your operator for connecting settings". In Settings > Connection Setup I select Israel and the Orange does not appear as operator only Cellcom.Do I need to get Orange onto the Database?How?

2. Trying to access the Web and get msg "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network".

Can anyone help me with these two issues?

Thanks

Brian
[Touch Cruise General] bob_man_uk:
i had the same problem yesterday with o2 pay as you go gprs (the only option available was o2 contract gprs or other countries) you would have to manually find the connection details, calling customer support should get the details you need, then enter then through start -> settings -> connections (tab) -> connections -> manage existing connections/add a new connection

then you can edit/add your gprs connection for your carrier.

i am using 6.1 which came on my XDA orbit 2 so it might differ slightly

[HD2 General] digitalhater:
Hi guys,

Is there a program or something that would work as an "alt+tab" function on HTC HD 2? It would be very useful when trying to switch between multiple opened applications.

AS well, is there any way you can make the G Sensor work with any program on the HTC?

How do I add a reset button if there is one?

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer!
[HD2 General] Tunay:
Click the "x" ?

That will not close the application you use.

I have a touch pro 2...I am running the most recent android build for my touch pro 2. I looked at the system details and its reading that the build is the dream aka the g1. Im really feeling the the new sense user interface and as of right now I know there are alot of flashable roms to get the hero's sense ui on the g1.

So is it possible to flash a rom if you are running a ported android build:confused:

No, don't even try it. You could permenatly brick your phone. You don't have a G1 theirfore your device has different system requirements.

I added it this morning because of a suggestion from one of the developers. Was easy to do and a good idea. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

No problems; it's great!

One feature request that I wish these forums had was the auto-search when creating a new thread. On the Precentral.net forums, when you go to create a thread, it automatically gives you search results with threads that may already have the answer you're looking for.

Is there any possibility this could be implemented? It would cut down A LOT of repeat threads and make these forums even better!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Hamburg:
So I'm wondering what the concensus is. Are we going to see this or not?

The official word is obviously that there will be no upgrade for the HD2, but people seem to have hope in the community here. I'm not much of a dev/hacker to know for sure, so I'm wondering what you guys think...

The issues I'm hearing are:

Hardware buttons

GPU

On-board storage

Upscalling

The hardware buttons are obviously a non-issue. And from what MS is saying, despite not being able to swap out memory cards, SD storage can be used by OEMs to supplement on-board storage. But I dont know about the GPU and upscaling. Are these built in to the HD2 already? Is the upscaling a hardware or software issue? Are these things a deal breaker??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Bababooey:
This would be most excellent if so,I just picked up a HD2 last night and even though I am back to edge speed ( which is not a real issue for me,lots of wifi around.) I LOVE THIS PHONE !!!

Man this thing is making me giggle like a school girl.....:p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mudrock1000:
I don't see anyone NOT putting it on there, especially when it hits America (If it hasn't already that is)

HOWEVER, i highly doubt you will want to use it. THey are going the iphone route. NO more File explorer and open source and multi tasking. All the things that made WinMO popular are apparently disappearing.

Disappoints me really. I jumped on the Android train. My first PDA was a dell X50 ;)

All because of $$ !!

M$ want more developer to developes more app and game for WP7S, in order to do that, u need to convince developer that they can make $$ for the app. Currently it is to easy to get craXXk app for WinMo.

M$ learnt the good idea for iPhone by locked down the system so u can only purchase from App Store. By doing these, M$ will stand good chances to complete will iPhone (Gen 4) in the future.

My only wish is : Hopefully M$ don't be hash on XDA, cos i believe XDA will make something interesting from WP7S for HD2 ... i believe.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Hamburg:
Althought I'm glad others are showing interest, I was hoping to make this a technical discussion around the facts of whether it can or cannot happen. And maybe at this point the answer is "we dont know." But hopefully we'll get more answers in time...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cp_kirkley:
I think the question is not whether or not the HD2 will receive the upgrade to 7. Officially or unofficially, I think its just a matter of time. May not be as soon as youd like, but I't will get there. Its more a question of how relevant the HD2 will be be the time win7 is made available to it. Also, will there be able to be some kind of dual boot option available. The way 7 is shaping up, I'm not too enthused about only having 7. I would use 7 for gaming, social use, and winMo 6.5 when I'm looking to get my hands dirty.
