Dose it cover if I unlock the boot loader? I know Google (HTC) voids the warranty the second you do that. I want to be able to install Cyanogen on my Nexus One without the worry of not having a warranty. I have the G1 now and have had it for about a year now and I havent had any problems with it, but I've heard of people's N1's on at&t the screen is messed up look here.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
no it dont cover unlocked bootloader. it covers electrical, lost or stolen. worst comes to worst you just file stolen thru your insurance and buy a new one from them for $130 bucks. or should i say refurbished not new. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Daswolven:
Lol. Well when I bought mine the T-mobile reps I talked to didn't really know what a Nexus One even was. I was however told that insurance through them was unavailable to me because the phone was sold through Google. Bad information or miscommunication is irrelevant, the SquareTrade Warranty is a far cheaper way to go. Though it doesn't cover loss, I spoke to them before buying it and was told in clear language that any claim due to unit damage from dropping, water, etc. was covered regardless of bootloader being unlocked. This would only be an issue with them if there was no physical damage to the unit. I'm not worried about bricking it, I'm worried about taking it with me when I go drinking. lol. Things tend to get run over. :p
[Nexus One Accessories] OutlawPro:
It's also be covered in other threads that you can insure the phone through a "personal items" policy with your regular (auto) insurance provider. I have mine through State Farm. It's $30 a year with no deductible and they could give a flip if it's rooted or not. You just call them up and say my stuffs broken/lost and they send you a check to replace your phone. So, SquareTrade isn't the way to go either.
[Nexus One Accessories] Daswolven:
Awesome. i use State Farm, so i'll have to look into that. good intel. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] jerhoyet:
Any idea if you can purchase that type of insurance from State Farm without having another policy with them?
[Nexus One Accessories] maxawesome:
To clarify:

The Assurian policy doesn't cover unlocked bootloaders, only defect, theft and loss.

The Squaretrade policy (at least the one I bought for my N1) covers defect and accidental damage, and is agnostic to bootloader status (meaning they don't care if you unlock it).
[Nexus One Accessories] OutlawPro:
Not 100% sure, but I think you can because my policy is not tied to any of my other policies. It's a standalone and the reasoning for it is, it you need to use it, it won't affect your regular insurance rates

If you have auto insurance, you should be able to get coverage through them. You might get better rates by having an existing policy too.

Just give any State Farm rep a call to find out and let us know what they tell you if you don't mind.
[Nexus One Accessories] Daswolven:
Helpful. I was originally told by the T-mo rep that Asurion wouldn't cover me, but I ordered on release day. lol. As for theft or loss, not possible. I will stick with Squaretrade and hope I never have to use it.
[Nexus One Accessories] Kid Poker:
I'll cave in. Since I spent $529 for this phone, spending an additional $120 couldn't hurt to protect against damages. If I drop it and the screen cracks, they replace it reguardless correct? I just had a bad luck day, had phone in my basketball shorts with a clear hard case on it, while playing it fell out. Then when I got out of my car I forgot my phone was on my lap so down it goes again with the case. There are scratch marks on the bottom and top of the phone but doesn't bother me. It worries me that in the near future I might actually drop it by accident and it will be damaged. The 3rd time I dropped it, was when I went to put it in my newly purchased dock. So I've finished my bad luck for the day (hopefully)
[Nexus One Accessories] Red MacGregor:
*wonders why people will spend MORE for a LESSER insurance policy.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I got my Nexus One, and while I expected it to be good.. I did not expect this much! Literally the best phone I have ever had in my 14 year old life (After previously having G1s, MyTouch's, etc.) It feels so smooth, its so fluid.. I love everything about it! Google, I wuv you guys..

Now, as I've said before, a better phone better not come out by Xmas.. don't wanna sell this thing so soon ^.~
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Wait, you're 14? How did you afford this phone? :eek:

Lucky bastard :D
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
My parents bought it, I am a lucky bastard aren't I :)
[Nexus One General] KennyXL:
My 14-year old had one for a day. She couldn't do without a physical keyboard so we're waiting until an android handset comes out with one. She loved everything else and, despite the lack of a keyboard, my Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had. I come from Windows Mobile.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
It takes a while to get used to the on-screen keyboard. I know from experience, I came from a G1.

After a few months, I still can't type as fast as I did with the G1 keyboard, but it beats having to turn the phone sideways and flip out the keyboard just to type a few letters in some app. The convenience of the big screen and using the on-screen portrait keyboard without having to turn the phone sideways outweigh the gained typing speed on my G1.
[Nexus One General] thisguy10:
your lucky dude..14 years old with a nexus...anyway I love this phone..coming from a touch pro 2..I don't miss that phone one bit..not even the keyboard..well maybe a little lol but still this phone is great and so is swype. :)

Speaking of typing on a virtual keyboard...have you seen the video of a guy typing 83 wpm on a virtual keyboard? Albeit, it's not a N1...impressive non-the-less.

I'm 16 and I afforded it because of money I earned selling 3D designs and birthday money (hehe) but ITS ALL MINE. So if I break it, I know what it feels like to lose $530.

Saw this 15 year old drop his iPhone in my class, screen shattered, and he told everyone, its alright, parents will buy me a new one. Can't always depend on them, you know what I mean?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
WTF is the point of this waste of space you call a thread? You love your phone...that's great. We all love our phones. You're 14...go outside and play!
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
yes and parents these days are stupid enough to buy this kind of **** for them...

good for your parents, you will thank them some day for installing some decent values into you

it really is pathetic how much kids are given these days... NO concept of money what so ever... mommy and daddy just buy everything for them... when I see 16-22 year olds driving around in their brand new BMW's and Audi's i literally want to vomit... I have no respect for them... I work for everything I own and it feels god damn great!

Wow, I leave for a few hours to go have fun and this thread turns into.. whatever it is. I paid for 180 of it, and they paid the rest of the upgrade price. It's not as if they bought the entire thing, I could only help so little.. I don't exactly have a job.. don't even know if I could get one. Education is a little more important right now I believe..

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Does_It_Matter:
When do you lose the Wi-Fi?

I use the wi-fi in my house and it will maintain a constant signal.

UNLESS

It goes to sleep mode, then it turns off the wi-fi as well.

Whenever I bring it out of sleep, it always has to re-connect.

I don't know if there is some registry setting you can set to keep wi-fi turned on.

I think the risk is that it will drain the battery much quicker though.

I'm using the MAPL build 2.60 beta for a Dash 3G and the battery life is incredible.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] mrgreencom:
You can make it stay on by going to: Comm Manager>Settings>WLAN Settings>Power Mode and unchecking the "Auto turn off..." box. And yes, it does suck the battery like a vampire and makes the phone HOT! You can also adjust how long it will stay on for after LCD OFF.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] oo03sjw:
Wifi question

Hi, before i drive myself mad, I am convinced that my phone uses gprs for data, not wifi. And my bills seem to agree with me.

When I use things like MyPhone, either connected to my PC or connected to my wifi at home, it seems to appear on my bill as a data charge, which would indicate that it is using the network??

Am I right, wrong or stupid? Any help greatly appreciated.

[HD2 General] pinhead:
I am going to buy a T-Mobile HD2 tomorrow and I already know, based on my time using the Touch Pro2, that I will want to flash to the newer 23518 style ROMs. However, I have been really looking forward to having the B&N ebook reader on my phone and don't want to lose that by switching ROMs. It this easy to extract from the ROM so that when I flash a new one I can install it? Has it already been extracted and posted somewhere?

I know there are other readers available but I want this in particular. I thought it might come for Android on my Nexus One but they haven't managed that yet. I was hoping Barnes & Noble might just release the application from their site for my Touch Pro2 as well...nothing. Just iPhones and BlackBerry.

THIS LOOK VERY VERY GOOD anyone know anything about this
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's just a task manager. There's a skinable one for WM whose name I can't remember right now, but it's been discussed on this forum recently. Since it's skinable, you can make it look however you wish.
[HD2 General] marko987:
but

I look at mobile reviw thats part of new sense for android

The new version of HTC Sense features several nice touches - a more detailed screen with contact's personal information and his activities, plus the new Sense's main attraction, new screen transition system.

I don't know how it's implemented on Windows Mobile phones yet, but on Android it works like this. What you are at the home screen, pressing the Home button calls the Screen menu allowing you to pick the one you need, which is pretty convenient, but there is one flaw to it. The phones that were featured at HTC's MWC booth made that window pop-up only when we pressed the button while staring at the Home screen. If we happened to be looking at Music, Weather or any other section of the phone, punching the Home key got us back to the Home Screen and that was it. I feel like this feature must work in any place around the UI, and I hope that it will.

from mobile review MWC2010. HTC

[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Android home screens are customizable and can only be switched one by one which is why the helicopter view might be more important. You can fly with the slider bar on WM Sense so it makes it less useful - plus it'll be difficult to get all our tabs in that Expose-esque view :P
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
Actually that's not a task manager, thats the new pinch to zoom homescreen that zooms out to let you select the home screen. It's called leap, see demonstration here

[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
That will never come to the HD2.

[HD2 General] Spike15:
But that's such a massive downgrade.

Lose 0.6" off your screen size, lose WinMo6.5.3 (which is better than Android imo), and lose your NA 3G coverage (assuming you're rocking a T9193).

I will say that at least HTC finally smartened up and started putting flashes in their phones. My buddy has an HTC Hero and the only complaint he has about it is no flash.
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
To be honest, I ordered one and will sell my HD2. I lose 0.6" screen size and one camera LED, but I gain Android.

Since I'm in Europe, I don't lose 3G.

I've used Android on an old Samsung phone for some time, and I discovered that I simply enjoy using it.

Despite that this phone is awfully slow and has a very small 3.2" screen, I find the experience to be much better than the one I have with my HD2.

Thus, I'm getting a Desire.

(I'd buy a Samsung Galaxy S with 4" screen, but I want at least one LED for the camera: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone/)

Had a strange problem happen just now, my phone was acting wierd and lagging, I decided to reboot, when the phone finished booting a small transparent box in the bottom left corner said "Safe Mode". Seemed like everything was working fine however the text would not go away. Anyone had this problem running a 2.1 ROM?

Just want to see if this could lead to other problems or if anyone may know what caused this?

BTW. I'm running Darch's 2.1 v4.1 Legend ROM since it was released and this is the first time that this happened.

[HD2 General] ba0987:
Hi all,

I have a HD2 and some numpty decided running a shopping trolley into my leg would be fun... the result, I have a broken screen.

The actual damage appears to only be superficial, I can still use the touch screen and the phone is in full working order but the glass has cracked.

I've been looking online and all I can find is a replacement digitizer... I am wondering if anyone know that this is what I need or not?

Regards

Ben
[HD2 General] mZimm:
If the touchscreen still works then you don't need to replace the digitizer. You only need the glass part, but separating the digitizer from the glass and replacing it is a very difficult process and you would probably be better off getting a whole new screen assembly instead.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if the touch screen still works then in theory you just need a new piece of glass, not a digitizer (which is a thin plastic sheet).

problem is whether or not you can get the old digitizer off thee broken glass without damaging it.

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.

1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.

2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.

3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sanjsrik:
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.

2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:

Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.

Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:

Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.

3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.

Good luck.
