It's always a mistake to buy anything in the hope that it will be upgraded. I have done that before, so when I bought the Hero I made sure that I was happy with it as it was. I loved my Hero when I got it and I still love it. If it gets a 2.1 upgrade I will be happy. If not, I will still be happy. Just enjoy it as it is now. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ilbulgaro89:
Any othe news from the cold Russia?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] us1111:
Probably only mid September.. Haven't you heard?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
mid september??????????? i thought that it was already released for internal testing and it was due in a couple of days for public release:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ilbulgaro89:
i don't think so...cuz usually HTC spport or callcenters don't say nothing, but 4 this time they explicitly say in mid april or, in the russian case, within a few days....than i think that mid september is unlikely, also for fu*kin' HTC....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] art_sn00p:
No news yet.

us1111 - have you read the forum before?

We have official warning from HTC that firmware is ready for internal testing before flying away OTA. It should be middle April. 16th.

Not September. Not any other date. Just stop to confuse peoples.

If you want and if you could cpeak russian language you could call our HTC technicals and be sure by yourself )))))

I know that in Sweden the situation is just the same. We are eagerly waiting )))
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ilbulgaro89:
In your opinion could be true the "within a few days" release in Russia?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] art_sn00p:
"The exact day has not given yet. 16th of Aprils is the deadline but it could be closer. Or could be postponed few days" - in such way officials told us in twitter #HTC_ru

Peoples here are very-very angry of HTC buziness. And it is very-very difficult to make business with angry russians )) No more promises. It's time to make business here for HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ilbulgaro89:
it's the same things that i always say in the AndroiBlog that i manage.....but it's a good thing that HTC make something like a deadline...i think it's the first time....we have to HOPE that will be released befor that date :)

However also in italy we are very angry with HTC business....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daenney:
Well as far as HTC deadlines are concerned I wouldn't bet any money on it. First it was mid-February, then March, now mid-April which might get postponed for a few days so by August we should have a release :-P.

I'm hoping April 16th but really... it'll be out when it'll be out, nothing we can do to change that. You can get as angry with HTC as you want, if they don't release the update there's nothing you can do but wait.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jwwd:
Hi

I got a reply today from HTC Nordics Support (Customer Service):

"Android 2.1 should very likely be released during April - of what we have heard.

But I can´t give you an excact date, because we don´t hear anything here in technical support"

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jwwd:
Hi again

And another reply:

"Hi again

Yes - its very frustrating. But we have never been informed of an excact date at technical support. YES we get a lot of questions, and we dont have a decent answer to give them.

I will write you when we know any specific, or you can join the HTC e-club and get a news-mail when 2.1 arrives.

It will be released thru our website and not by OTA.

If some HTC employees have got the 2.1 yesterday - then I have been cheated!"

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rayjt9:
That's very similar to what I heard form T-Mobile, eg, update is definitely going to be within the next few weeks, but they haven't recieved a date yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StrongOneX:
Please listen up!

When the 2.1 is released;

Do not update your phone with the RUU from htc website or OTA because it will most likely lock up your bootloader and make you unable to downgrade, root and it will replace/delete you custom recovery boot menu and therefore UNABLE TO ROOT,DOWNGRADE AND FLASH ANY CUSTOM ROM!

I recommend waiting for a 2.1 based villain version or MODACO 4

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED; YOUR PHONE MAY BE "WRECKED" :eek:

if you goto modaco htc hero forum you'll find a similar thread with more information.

:cool:

[Desire General] clubbtraxx:
Hi all early UK desire owners...

Can someone tell me what languages are in the UK desire rom?

I'm in the Netherlands and my fav phoneshop says Desire will have just Dutch language in the rom... I thought there would be a choice of different languages as standard but not sure now.

I prefer my PCs and phones to be in English so if the UK rom has say Dutch, French and German languages included next to English I guess the NL version will have English as well... If not, I need to buy abroad...

Anyone who can shed a light on this?

TIA,

[Nexus One General] Part Four:
OK, posted this in the Q&A section with several responses but no real answers. Figured I'd post it here before another section where it might get locked or moved.

Anyway, ADB was working fine until a few days ago. Now it says "error: device not found." Fastboot still works just fine. I've tried everything I can think of to get it working again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the usb drivers, removed the Android SDK from my PC and reinstalled, wiped and reflashed my device, made sure Debugging is on, and tried getting ADB to work on all 4 of my PC's. All running either Windows XP or Windows 7. No dice. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] UnderCoverLover:
The other day it took me about an hour to remember to just turn on usb-debugging and plug it in to the usb drive. I kept going to the fastboot screen instead. Maybe that's your problem too?:confused:
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Thanks for the reply. If you read my OP you'll see that I've made sure debugging is on. In fact, debugging is also enabled by default after a wipe and clean flash. Unfortunately my problem isn't as simple as enabling usb debugging.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
Have you gone from one phone to another? When I made the switch from a tmo->att n1 I had to remove ALL drivers before installing them again in order for my phone to work.

Perhaps try removing ALL drivers and starting fresh?

In Envrionmental Variables, create a System variable:

variable name: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices

variable value: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices

With your phone not plugged into your pc, go to device manager and under the View menu, select "show hidden devices".

Remove everything under ADB. Remove anything in unknown devices that says Nexus1 or Android, or Google. Remove the Composite Devices under USB (they will be added back upon reboot if the system uses them) as well as the Mass Storage Devices.

Reboot your system. Plug your phone in and update/install your drivers for your phone.

I used both the drivers from the sdk and from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613217 to have fastboot and adb functional.

Good luck!
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Thanks for the response. I'll give this a shot when I get home. FYI, I didn't change devices. Same Nexus One I've had for the past month. Just one question: When you say,

"In Envrionmental Variables, create a System variable:

variable name: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices

variable value: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices"

I don't know what this means. Where can I access this? Thanks!
[Nexus One General] markouk:
Just a thought but are you remembering to boot up the phone as normal?

As in not into fastboot, etc.

This stumped me for a few hours.

I kept trying to "adb" while the phone was in fastboot or recovery.

Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Yeah, I've had the phone booted up normally. Thanks though.
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Thanks a lot.
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Followed all of these directions, reinstalled the driver, and I still can't connect via adb. Still getting "error: device not found." Help!
[Nexus One General] myn1:
Try to download the latest Android SDK and have it installed again. Also download the USB drivers within that package...
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Done and done, days ago. Still no dice. This is ridiculous.
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Still having problems. Tried everything I can think of, and everything suggested to me by the XDA community. I don't know if this will help any of you guys help me, but when I type "adb devices" into a command prompt, it returns:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

And then shows nothing. So effing frustrating! EVERY computer I have (I actually have tried it on 6 different laptops and PCs) returns the same error and cannot find my Nexus One. WTF happened!? HELP!

[Nexus One General] Part Four:
I'm sure you're trying to be helpful but, if you've read through this thread, you'd know that I've already done all of that. OBVIOUSLY, I've done all of that because, like I said, ADB STOPPED working. In order for it to stop, it must have, at some point, worked just fine. And it did. It worked perfectly until recently. So, yes, I've installed all the damn drivers I need. But, no, it's still not working. It's infuriating.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
debugging mode os on? did you open adb, delete all htc drivers then reinstall them from the sdk. not just install them but delete and then reinstall.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
also once in bootloader your good, some instructions say go into hboot, not for me, just right in bootloader, not hboot.

two more ( maybe too obvious , but ... )

1. do u have another usb cable to try

2. did you try @ another computer

[Nexus One General] Part Four:
Yeah. I've tried multiple cables and I'm now at 7 PCs. I just have to accept that my phone is no longer ADB capable. I can still use SUFBS to do most of the pushing, pulling and deleting that I used ADB for, but not everything. Whatever. I'll live.
[Nexus One General] pvillasuso:
This would be my last try ... :D

a) Wipe all + reformat /sdcard + new partition + fresh installation ? from zero !

b) BAD /sdcard ? Maybe .. try another one ..
[Nexus One General] cdtan99:
I know you've mentioned that you've installed and uninstalled your USB drivers but how exactly did you do it? Did you let your PC automatically detect the device and install the driver or did you do it manually by uninstalling the driver, letting your PC detect the device and directing the PC to the USB driver folder. Hope this is helpful.
[Nexus One General] icon57:
this is just a long shot for you....

how about trying a system restore to an earlier time when adb was working...

ya never know...worth a shot imho
[Nexus One General] gsmack13:
Part Four

I don't have a solution to this yet, but I think I'm seeing a similar issue on XP with my Eris.

With a stock image, XP Device Manager shows the ADB under it's own 'Android Phone' area. When I do a flash to bring it to the leaked 'eris21official-root.zip' the ADB device is no longer shown in the android phone are but is now in the 'Other Devices' area.

Before the update the Device ID in control panel shows:

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01\6&9017F3B&0&0001

After update:

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01\6&32E3FC86&0&0001

Looking at the android_winusb.inf I see the 0C02 where mine is now 0C98

;before update

;%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01

;after official 2.1

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01

changing this line didn't fix it (unless the file is cached elsewhere, very likely with windows)

but I think I'm on the right track. Seems like the new image shows the ADB device as a new one that the original driver does know about.. ?

there are a lot of other parameters in there I'm going to verify, If I find something I will let you know.
[Nexus One General] gsmack13:
forgot to mention. When I went back and flash PB00IMG.zip the ADB device is back. Running through the same steps and flashing eris21official-root.zip breaks ADB (as I expected)
[Nexus One General] Part Four:
I'm still completely lost here. I wish I still had my MT3G so I could see if ADB worked with it. I can't figure out if this is a problem with my phone or with my PC.
[Nexus One General] gsmack13:
Mine is working now. On a different forum I found someone who posted an updated inf file. Looks like I was on the right track, but needed to make one more change

Looks like I can't post a link to the site where I found this info (what a pain)

so, here's a hacked up link - hope it lets me post this

androidforums.com / 474954-post2.html

old

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01

new

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01

good luck
[Nexus One General] lhorn73:
Would like to help if possible....

As all the previously mentioned things did not work, and I know it sounds strange, but maybe seeing what happens when you try ADB with debugging off and then try it with the SD card mounted to see what happens.

Hi,

I've been using Swype for some two weeks now, today starting having massive problems with it (huge lagging of the application affecting the entire system, rendering it nearly unusable). I don't know if this can attributed to this, but at one point today I did a battery stats wipe, after some time when I checked and it turned out that Swype had been using some 20% of my total battery usage. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but no improvement (still massive slowdown). Then I flashed from CM 5.0.5.2 to 5.0.5.3, still no improvement. Afterwards I tried installing ShapeWriter and SlideIt- both force close the instant I try to enter into their respective settings, or select them as the input method, Swype did not force close.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
At least you can still use it. Mine has been disabled for a few days now and the old trick to use it doesn't work anymore (switching to another kb and then switching back to swype)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba1410:
Actually the lag was so huge that it was unsuable. I uninstalled a couple apps I didn't use and that seemed to have worked - swype works normally again, but I seem to be experiencing another problem - newly installed apps from the market force close upon launch.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infon1:
I think am experiencing similar problems also, when ever I try to bring up the keyboard to type it freezes up, so am using stock kb at the moment and all this started happening after I installed cyanogen 5.0.3.n1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba1410:
Did you import any word list into your user dictionary? I discovered that this why swype froze.

Also, slideIT and shapewriter force closed because because of user permissions.

Hey XDA,

I've had the G1 for more than a year and a half now, and with all these new phones coming out im really considering a nexus one. But there are allota questions i still have to ask that pertain to people that actually have the phone. I'd appreciate any help.

1. I'm sick and tired of getting the newest "hottest" phone, and then realizing theres so much more just around the corner. With the EVO 4G coming out, the HTC Desire on the horizon, the new Iphone announcement most likely coming in summer - i just want to know if the nexus one is "futureproof". I've been flashing ROMs to my g1 just to keep it as close to the newest and greatest android i can get on it, but i really know now with all these snapdragon processor phones coming out the g1 aint gonna cut it. What do you guys think about the nexus one being futureproof? I'm most likely going to be flashing the latest Cynanogen or the new Desire ROMs on it when I get it. Will cooked ROMs enable me to be on par wiht the competition the Nexus will get in the coming months?

2. How does the Nexus One compare to the HTC Desire? I know they are pretty much the same phone but looking at some reviews, it seems like the Desire is much more highly touted. Since I can get the Desire ROM on my Nexus One when I get it, will the two phones really function that different? Is there a noticable speed boost with that extra about 70MB of RAM the Desire has? I've heard some things about the screen being very responsive - is the screen on the Desire different from the Nexus One? Really, what's so great about the Desire the Nexus One doesn't have?

3. Really. How fast is the Nexus One, stock and with a Cynanogen ROM? Do livewallpapers work flawlessly? Does switching from app to app happen blazing fast?

4. Is the screen that bad to use in the sunlight where its pretty much rendered unusable? I'd like to know from you guys experiencing the phone.

5. About that reception issue the Nexus One is having, is there a really high cahnce the phone I order will have the issue at this point? Is the signal reception issues really bad where I will have that much trouble getting 3g? How bad is it really? I live in NY. So if anyone of u guys live here i'd appreciate your view.

Thanks alot XDA, I'm really looking forward to some answers, and apologize for taking your time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Greetings!

Like I always say, these are all based on my opinion and experience. You or others might think otherwise...

1- IMO the N1 will be a keeper for quiet awhile, although there might be great phones that are out or coming out, they are less likely to have the latest updates since they arent google devices, they alsi wont get as much attention from the devs compared to the N1‚ just like the G1 to Hero/Mytouch.

2- I consider the desire to be an N1 with sense UI, they're very similar, except for a few things like N1’s noise cancellation features which the desire won't have, anything the desire has however, you have the option to have in the N1 when you flash Modaco's Alpha version of the desire. ( I should say its great for being an Alpha version only).

3- I cannot stress how fast this phone is. :-) live wallpaper works flawlessly and you have Cyanogen, Enomther, Kingklicks and other ROMs available that makes it even better.

4-AMOLED isn't as great as SUPER AMOLED, but with the auto brightness tweak that Enom and Cyan and Modaco have in their ROMs make it good enough for me.

5- I never had a problem with my order or my device, and I ordered it January so they probably fixed minor issues by now to avoid returns, still I suggest you give it a few days before unlocking and rooting ur phone just incase... As far as signal goes I think its all about the network you're on, and since the N1 will be available to all carriers if not already, pick the network that suits u best.

Good Luck brother!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charnsingh_online:
1. Nexus one ftw, i just got my nexus one over the HTC desire paying around $260 more for nexus. Reason nexus got many pros n zero cons. Nexus one is one phone gonna live more than 2 years coz its google branded and sold by google and at max only a 1.5 ghz phone can be out in the market and its not gonna happen till mid 2011. Nexus got OC, it is developer friendly it got a big developer support, i know how it feels not to have a good developer backbone. We got all the funky, risk taking deveopers here which is going to unlikely with any other phone. Most G1 developers shifted to N1. For the screen i travel a lot around the worls and nexus has been with me in the brightest SUN. If you make the brightness around 1/2 u can see most stuff on screen, for text reading u need to turn it to full, same was with my Hero, Magic, G1 and Liquid.

For the reception Nexus is the only phone i got which has 2 bars in the basement of my mall which is 2 floor underground.

About EVO, i may have one of the biggest hand but handling HTC HD2 was nothing like holding a monster, its barely gonna look good in ur hand, u will feel awkward n clarity of Nexus will be more due to higher dpi of Nexus. and for EVO on NExus will surely run faster due to the devs we have here. Everything will be ported to nexus. Nexus will have best of both worlds VANILLA (CYANOGEN) and Sense(Paulobrien{Modaco}.

For the speed i currently have more than 413 apps on my phone last i checked n it is still faster than stock nexus one ( U know stock isnt gonna be slow). i get no Lag nothing, NO FC n battery lasts around 14-15 hours ( I use it at full brightness coz i am mostly outside and i got wifi always on, twitter checks every 5 min, 3g always on, Web browsing on the go sites like xda and gizmodo etc, n play my favourite game asphalt(almost finished, was released around 5 days ago n it is a long game), i got no complaints with nexus n i ordered it with a dock coz dock is awesome

About the Build quality- My dad threw my phone in anger on a hard marble floor from around 6 feet and it bounced 3-4 times on floor. no scratch nothing, guess i was lucky (dont try this)

I love the nexus and i am proud to say NEXUS FTW

will tel more of my expreience but gotta go, hope u get it soon

Im having the exact same problem as you... I have the g1 currently and love the roms and all the work that the devs have put into it, but my g1 isn't cutting it anymore and i need an upgrade. I was looking at the HTC desire (im in the UK) which on tmobile will be considerably cheaper than the N1 when it gets released, but I am dubious whether the Desire is going to be right for me. I really want a phone that a lot of the devs will support so it can be as fun as the g1 was for me :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Im almost positive you guys will love the N1, specially coming from a G1. For me it'll take a lot for the competing phones to pass up the N1, unless they come out with a dual processor phone that looks as pretty as the N1, then its time to switch to a new phone.
