I've unboxed 4 nexus ones. 2 of them were mine (1 tmobile, 1 att) and 2 were friends'. On 3 of them the wall paper the phones shipped with was the live wallpaper "Nexus: a peak inside the neural network" with the grey patterned background and the colored streaks moving vertically and horizontally, however one of them, my AT&T one, had the non-live wallpaper that is just the grey pattern with no moving colored streaks. I can't help but think this is a little weird. Has anybody else had a different wallpaper?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Mine had the live Nexus one.
[Nexus One General] Austin021296:
Mine had the leaves in the water.
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Both my T-Mo and AT&T N1's came with the Nexus live wallpaper out of the box.

[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
My T-Mobile release day phone had the Nexus live wallpaper
[Nexus One General] Balkin:
My ATT had the Nexus Live One Wallpaper running...
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
The nexus one live wallpaper. The one with the grey squared background and the color streams of squares going by.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
It's always the Nexus One Live Wallpaper. (The gray one with colored lines moving around.)

Austin021296 is just mis-remembering.
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Nexus Live Wallpaper
[Nexus One General] maxh:
Well that's weird because as I mentioned, my last one definitely did not have the live wallpaper on it. I wonder if my phone is not new. Or maybe it was the live wallpaper but simply wasn't functioning out of the box, making it look like the non-live one that matches the background of the live one.
[Nexus One General] intersectRaven:
Mine came with the Nexus Live wallpaper on.
[Nexus One General] McHale:
same (AT&T version)
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:

[Nexus One General] Stea1thmode:

[Nexus One General] archillion:
my att nexus one had the nexus inside the neural network wallpaper
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
well this is weird... i unboxed my att nexi yesterday and the wallpaper that was present was the wallpaper i had on my last phone! probably from sd card files though...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Nah it picks up the settings from the Google cloud, you've enabled settings backup somewhere.

It will also have stored your bookmarks, apps and wifi security info.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Pre-owner question: Does the wallpapers used in N1 480x800 or 960x800?

In Zedge and Mobile9 they are all 960x800 :confused:
[Nexus One General] AlphaDog_NL:
They are 960x800 because when you change home screen, the wallpaper moves with you a little.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
Ah hah! Now this would explain it...
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
Hi,

Don`t know if this is good place to write this topic.

I took my HD2 in contract about 3 mths ago in o2 as 35 per month for 18 months. Took it with bolton - unlimited wifi and internet. Today morning I got a txt from o2 and it says that I have gone over my data allowance on my mobile. I need to cut down or get a bigger BoltOn to keep using internet.

I know .. it`s unlimited, but with fair usage policy (which is what ? 500 MB per month ?).

I`ve been browsing net, checking mail, some movies on youtube and this is it... Not using my HD2 as modem etc... and doing this in the same way for over 3 years (I had other contracts before, with iPhone, but the same tariff) and never got even a single warning.

I know they refreshed some tarrifs after 26th of Feb ... when you have unlimited internet for first 3 mths only, than you have to pay extra 5 per month .. but I signed my contract before that date.

Called customer service today afternoon (only 2 minutes waiting in queue yea :D ) and I`ve been told there is nothing wrong with my account, there is no warnings, restrictions etc and nothing to worry about .. just to keep looking at my activities over the net (not to much youtube browsing should help).

Did anyone get sth simillar ? and what are the details of `fair usage policy` in o2 UK if it`s about net browsing, anyone knows ?

Kris
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
my contract on O2 used to be 500meg fair useage total rip off let me double check

so there giving you 200mb and i just txt my sis and she rang the credit line and she gets 500 on pay and go whats up with that
[HD2 General] wkc21:
I had the same deal from O2 with so called unlimited web. A month or 2 after getting the phone I received text same as yours and contacted them. I was told then about the fair use policy (allowing only 200mb per month). A week or so later they sent me a letter stating again that I was using the unlimited web too much and that I should reduce my usage. I did reduce but obviously not enough as they have now revoked my web usage. Now any data downloaded or internet used I get charged for @ 20p/mb.

When the contract runs out, O2 have lost a customer. :mad:
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
I know at one point it was 250MB a month, but ive gone through the terms and conds. and cant find any mention of fair usage MB amount.

If it has gone down to 200MB a month, I might reconsider moving to them.
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
It had to go down for sure !

I remember using my iPhone few years ago with the same state : "unlimited internet" and there were no problems at all along entire contract.

I think they could reduce the amount of MB because pretty much every phone released now has a capability to browse net .. which makes the network `more crowded` if it makes sense..

Anyway I`ll try to reduce browsing (mostly youtube browsing) but I can`t forget about web pages ! Would any of you guys forget with HD2 ? This phone has been made for net browsing (among other activities)..

Maybe it`s time to think about other carrier ...

Kris
[HD2 General] mndl632:
i'm pretty sure it's not 500mb or anything that low, i've been doing the same as yourself, checking emails, browsing web, youtube. I've also been using my phone as a modem and downloading a lot of large attachments on emails and i've never gotten any kind of warning. Last time i checked with o2 the fair usage was 3GB, don't think that's changed since the tariff refresh
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
Sth had to change for sure, otherwise I wouldn`t get such a txt. I`m digging in small print I got with my contract and over o2 website to find as many info about this boltonas possible. It`s called in my contract : 0015 Q108 FOC Unltd Web Bolt On.

Kris

EDIT :

Found some info here

in Text and Web Terms and Conditions section.

It says :

"

(...)

The inclusive Unlimited Web Bolt On can be used in the UK only for your unlimited use (subject to this excessive usage policy) of Telefónica O2 UK's GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone.

All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:

in, or connected to, any other device including modems;

to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or

in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.

If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy, O2 reserves the right to impose standard browsing charges (see www.o2.co.uk for details), impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, remove the Web Bolt On from your account or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first. "

[HD2 General] pa49:
Hi all, just a few obsevations on the whole subject.

I got my Hd2 on contract renewal and I have T-mobile uk mobile broadband which gives me 10GB (subject to fair useage but more of that later!) and as I have had my contract for over three years it's a 12 month term.

As everything was taken out in the begining and nothing has been altered the whole thing forms part of the contract and here's the problem you guys have, because you use bolt ons they do not form part of the base contract and they can alter their terms at will whenever they like.

Some time ago T-mobile caught on to this and I started getting notices like you mention telling me I had overrun my allowance (yes I'm a heavy user!). They have changed the way they let you have access now, but back then I told them that my access formed part of the contract and if they insisted on reducing or throttling my access in any way then I would hold them in breach of contract and I would use my right to terminate the contract immediately.

I never heard from them again.

I truly hate the FUP that they apply because it is always down to their monitoring and you have no check or argument about it!

I've had two renewal upgrades since then and they hate it always trying to get me onto a new plan and all I do is refer to the previous incident and they "back off".

My plan is £31.90/month in total, and still 12 month contract.

BTW I have two such contracts (second one is only web and walk) and when the next one comes up I won't be renewing. Any takers because they don't do deals like they used to?
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, I'm on Vodafone Anytime 500 minutes (£29.79 per month) plus the web Flexi Pack for £7.50 a month (could have gone for the value pack for £5 but didn't want to commit for the lifetime of my contract at the time). This officially gives me 500Mbs a month. They say that "We'll keep an eye on things and let you know your options if it looks like you'll go over your 500MB Flexi or Value Pack limit. If you think you'll regularly use more than 500MB a month". When I view my bill online I am regularly over 700Mb (over 1 Gb so far this month) but I have never recieved a notification of any type and I am not charged extra on the fly. Dunno if i've just been lucky though.
[HD2 General] chris10230:
well i seem to be averaging between 300 - 500 MB per month and never had such a text. And i do have the unlimited bolt-on maybe im lucky....
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I've got unlimited web included with my O2 HD2. I started using it as a router for my laptop because i thought it was "unlimited" and during the first month got a text message saying that I'd gone over my allowance. I'd have to buy a bigger bolt on or pay extra to keep using it for the rest of the month. I called up their helpline an was told that it's a "fair use" policy which equates to 500Mb and that I'd used over 4 times that (Whoops!!).

Hopefully that helps, i assume you wouldn't reach the limit if you just used the internet on the phone itself and try not to download too much.
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
I would say (according to my previous post and part of terms and cond. I found and quoted) it is more about the way you use your allowance, not the amount of data.

I can`t say for sure but in my opinion (pure guessing) o2 set-up on their servers sort of filters sensitive especially against some words (keywords), like : rapidshare, skype, voip, mp3, megaupload, warez, p2p etc etc ... so they could check if someone is using his allowance for file sharing, voip, p2p etc which according to t&c "... impacts the service to other O2 customers."

Kris
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
I also go way over 200/250Mb a month with o2 and never get a message like that. I use you tube, internet radio (every day), emails, messaging etc and no warnings.

It's all very strange indeed.
[HD2 General] searley:
I'm on o2 unlimited 1.2gb so far this month

most months 750mb plus

never had a warning
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
How do you check the amount of data you have already downloaded ?

After loging in to o2 website, can`t find such an option :/

Kris

EDIT :

Ok, found it. It says it`s 570 MB this month.
[HD2 General] searley:
i use spb wireless monitor
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
After analysing my `browse and download` section I can say that biggest amount of data is used for youtube movies, especially in HD :/
[HD2 General] loomx:
You can look on O2s web site at what you have used, billing information, and then you can break it down, most months I use about 5-700meg, and I have quite a few times used well over 1gb maybe 2gb downloading episodes off the iplayer.
[HD2 General] rikardo1979:
The O2 UK unlimited internet for 30 quid p/m 600mins+Unlimited TXT

You have a 2 options of FP as a standard

1st is 250MB/M

2nd is 500MB/M

If you go over it's not necessarily mean you will receive any warning or you will be charge for exc.I mean couple MB over not gigs :-)

And this data allowance is changing every month depend how much u used month before. Like my allowance for this month is

[/URL][/IMG]

this is the copy info from my last bill
[HD2 General] hossuk:
I recently bought a Nexus One and so on 1st April I swapped over to O2 text and web. On Friday was sent a text from O2

"You've used 450mb of your Text and Web data allowance this month. Anything over 500MB will cost £3/Mb for the rest of the month. Terms and conditions at 02.co.uk"

I checked the terms and conditions for Text and Web

http://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditions/tariffsandboltons

and it states that

4. The inclusive Unlimited Web Bolt On can be used in the UK only for your unlimited use (subject to this excessive usage policy) of Telefónica O2 UK's GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone.

I searched the site for this mythical "excessive usage policy" but could not find it. I called O2 customer services and was told that 500Mb was indeed the limit under the excessive usage policy. I asked for a written copy of this and was told “it is a “policy” there is no written copy”.

How on earth can this be allowed???
[HD2 General] RReckless:
On my first month with my HD2 I got the standard txt of : that I have gone over my data allowance on my mobile. I need to cut down or get a bigger BoltOn to keep using internet.

I checked online and found I had used 2.4 Gig. Tv catchup tetherd to my laptop at work was the main culpprit. Ive toned it right down now but will up my usage again in a month or so to see what they say.

I would be interested to know how much other people who have got the txt are using.

RReckless
[HD2 General] nutmegy:
I'm so glad I'm with 3... 1 gig download limit....and o2 did have a3 gig limit before...but only on one of their poxy iphone deals... but now they. are not exclusively iphone providers they probably had a strop
[HD2 General] relax24:
Got the text yesterday and called them up. I've used 1.9gb this month. Last month I used 1.6gb and didnt get a text. It's interesting to note that my usage was around 270mb each month till I got the Nexus lol.

I get the feeling they have also throttled my 3g connection. I was able to get 300kB/s but since yesterday it hovers around the 60kB/s mark...using the speedtest.net app
[HD2 General] Richy99:
tethering is technically against the terms and conditions for use of the unlimited web bolt-on, thats why they offer a separate tethering service, most people who seem to use alot will more than likely be using the phone as modem opposed to browsing on the phone
[HD2 General] RReckless:
Your right but i'll still keep testing to see just how much I can use and get away with it. Even without tethering I use a lot of TV catchup.

By the way

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (O2)

Release Date: 2010-04-27

Just in case anyone is interested. :)

RReckless
[HD2 General] DrATty:
My PC downloads almost continuously; usually Windows and AntiVirus updates mostly. It all adds up when tethered. Still, my free data allowance with a monthly £10 PAYG top-up hasn't attracted T-mobile's attention yet. If it does, I'll move or just try a new SIM.
[HD2 General] randommann:
How does she get 500?

If i get an O2 payg sim, i get 500mb free per month?
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
I have an O2 pay and go sim with the 'unlimited' (500meg) internet option. In the first two weeks I got to 450 megs at which point got a warning text. I reached this figure mainly by using Google Maps whilst driving to my folks.

I complained to O2 that at no point prior to singing up was I made aware that the fair usage policy was so low, but they actually made out it was my fault for having the wrong type of phone!!! There does not appear to be anywhere on the O2 website that states what the fair usage policy is. I honestly think that those of us who are dissatisfied need to complain to Ofcom about the use of the term 'unlimited'. It is so misleading, and O2 are particularly at fault - at least some other providers list what their fair usage policy is. Whine over ; )
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
I decided to make my own kickstand for my HD2 and am pleased with the result. The benefit of how I did it is you don't need to carry any seperate accessory as the stand is built into the case so you will always have it with you as long as you have your phone. Nothing else to lose.

To make one you will need a stiff snug fitting case, cutting knife, pen and cutting board. These cases are inexpensive so if you make a mistake its not the end of the world.

Just cut 3 slots into the case. Make sure you draw straight lines inside the case and that the flap is centered. Don't make the flap too narrow as you want some strength. You can make it as wide as you like. You may want to make a template (on card) of the rectangle flap first and then draw around it inside the case. Make sure the flap is not too long or too short. The bottom of the flap should be reasonably close to the edge of the case too.

To open the flap, just flex the plastic by firmly pulling it with your thumb towards the center, or use your fingernail to catch the edge. To close it just click it it back to its original position and it stays in nice and flush. It will not accidently pop open. The flap is virtually invisible when closed.

It works brilliantly. I am well chuffed! :D
[HD2 Accessories] wazaaappp:
LoL very nice :P never thought about that... I have the same case, and it kinda might be useful :D! nice tip ;) cheers :D
[HD2 Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
Wouldn't the flap start to wear after a while and the opening degrade over time?
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
I don't think it would wear over time. I did not score or crease the hinge so it will never snap off. It is just flexed. The case is a flexible material. Nothing to degrade.
[HD2 Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
I mean like clipping of the rubbery material and the flap starts to stay open. Over time.
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
It shouldn't stay open as the way it's been cut and because of the thickness it CLICKS into place. Wedged in. It's a little tricky to open so I can't see it springing open by itself. Time will tell but think it should be fine.
[HD2 Accessories] felixdd:
I think the concern is that with any press-fit or clip-fit flap, the friction will wear out the material slowly and with time become lose.

Even the HD2 OEM battery door, if opened/closed enough time, will become closed

The question becomes, then, whether the flap will outlast the device :D

The other idea to make the flap last longer is the ANGLE the cut so that instead of cutting perpendicular to the surface of the case, you cut slanting away from the way the flap open. This way you create a little lip for the flap to lock into.
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
I thought of that and it was going to be my second attempt if this first attempt did not work out but I was surprised to find it click into place even with a non angled cut.

I also thought about adding a small bit of tape to the inside lip of the flap so you could pull it open, but dismissed it for looking unsightly.

Also thought about a magnetic closure. So far so good as is. As I say time will tell but I have been opening and closing it a lot so far and still no problems. :)
[HD2 Accessories] methodz:
is that an ebay case? link to seller

ya if i do this i'm definitely going to angle cut it.
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
methodz this is the one I bought. Super cheap:

[HD2 Accessories] lude219:
I gotta say, I've seen a lot of DYI stuff on here (charging dock through a box, lanyard through battery cover, piggyback extended battery, etc), but this is one of the most ingenious thing I've seen. Kudos to you!!:D:D

..and for those who are questioning the durability of this, don't get the ultra thin gel case. Get one with a good amount of thickness so it doesn't flex too easily. Don't worry if it doesn't fit snuggly back on the case when you done...because it will if you get a good gel case.;) (I've done cutting to a few of my cases on other phones..no case for HD2 yet)
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Very nice indeed!

I'm going do the same with mine.
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
Nice one mate. I too have the same type of case and would never have thought of this! I can see why people are talking about it losing its strength over time, and I too imagine that it would eventually lose the will to actually stand the device up, or click back into place - one or the other - but I would only use this "feature" maybe once or twice a week, so it would take a long time to have any detrimental effect on the case. But let's face it.... it's dirt cheap and replaceable!

Very clever idea mate - thanks a lot :)
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
I think it would be great if some case manufacturer took this idea up and made a professional version. I should get royalties of course. :D

I have noticed after prolongued time in the open stand up position, it does slightly spring open after closing it - however storing it on its back for a short time DOES make it stay flush again so no big issue.

I may try an angled cut next time. Think I will order a couple more cases and experiment on the most optimal design.
[HD2 Accessories] FloatHeavy:
Wouldn't it be funny if you cut it the opposite way the accelerometer turns? Ha.

This is an AWESOME idea. $4.00 for a case? Fix def worth the "degraded" possibility.
[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
Yes make sure you cut the flap in the right direction to your landscape view. Very important!

Was at a T-mobil store today getting my non-sim card phone book downloaded to my 2-day old AWESOME HD2.

BTW-My first smart phone.

Held out till now!!

But may be too late to play "catchup"!!!

The store had a clear case with a flip out stand in the back.

:-)'s for all those "smart programers here"!

I hope to try "solid tweaks" to my phone.

I have to learn from scratch.

I guess have to install the registry software first....

[HD2 Accessories] tboy2000:
I know there are other cases out there that have a stand but usually they consist of a seperate flap which is hinged to the case. My mod does not require any extra 'material' and is built into the case. It is simply to do and requires no gluing or stitching. In that regards its a 'smart' case.

I have just ordered another case and will try a slight variation in design and will post feedback and images once done.
