I haven't dropped my N1 yet either, but I know it will happen. You're acting as if you have some inhuman ability of never dropping things that are expensive - I'm going to assume you rarely take your phone out of your pocket when outside, and when you do you most likely pay too much attention to it as if its a baby. I can imagine you over gripping a phone in order to prevent a dent or 2, watching it carefully as if its a life or death situation..

I'm probably exaggerating, but I really don't see how you do it. You must be a very carefull individual.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Yes, there are two kinds of nexus one (or any other model) owners. Those who have dropped their phones and those who are going to drop their phones.

In Soviet Russia, the Nexus One drops you!
[Nexus One General] martin0285:
This is most ridiculous thread i've seen on here.... I bring my phone EVERYWHERE!!... Fishing, boating ECT. .....Guess what?...... I've never dropped it....Be more responsible, don't flame the lovely Nexus One because your not careful enough.....Sad ppl sad.....
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
oh how i wish the internet had an accent for this kind of statements.
[Nexus One General] archboy69:
I've actually never dropped my N1. I have a grippy cover which stays put on my hands and doesn't feel like it will slide out like the phantom body covers which I don't like. I take it off at night for the dock.

That said the phone did slide right off the night stand when one night while placing it on the dock! That doesn't count right...LOL
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
+1 my friend. Same here. I've had tons of PDAs, never, ever, ever had a screen crack or any major scratches.

Just be more careful people. Don't blame the car if you got drunk and hit a pole at 60 mph.
[Nexus One General] jkhouw1:
To be fair to the N1, I think it would have survived the latest drop, but I suspect the edge of the glass landed on a pebble or cracked & raised piece of the driveway.

As for being more careful - well, i'm not crying about it. This one I was aiming to slip it into my shirt pocket for a second while carrying my son - better to drop the phone i figure. Most of the other drops were while similarly occupied.
[Nexus One General] shonanthebarbarianTP2:
i am a power user as some would say. i am sitting on concrete steps right now and use my phone while leaning over a second story.I AM a VERY careful individual. i spent $600 cash on this thing so I make a CONSCIOUS decision to be careful.

Phone + Asphalt = Damage

Should be easy to comprehend. If you believe everything the advertisements say, then I'd say you were rickrolled.

Granted some drops are fine, but asphalt? From 5 feet high?

It's not a bloody super bouncy ball folks, it's an electronic device.

I understand some are more prone to being more clumsy than others, but that's more the fault of the user, not the hardware.
[Nexus One General] jacka$$1:
The Nexus One is NOT fragile. However, we just have too many people who think it's supposed to be built for gorilla-level handling. Take care of your equipment...neanderthals!
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
i got a feeling one day we are going to get a post saying, "Oh my god, i flushed my n1 down the toilet and now it wont turn on. HTC did a terrible job not foreseeing this"
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:

Done.
[Nexus One General] Jack Everyman:
Ok, lets think about this reasonably. Five feet is roughly eye level for the average American male (5' 4"). So, imagine taking any electronic product, hold it at eye level and drop it. Expecting anything to survive a 5' is absurd. Take a economy level laptop and drop it from 5'.

"But phone as are going to get dropped!" I will concede that point, with the exception that not from 5'. A more reasonable expectation of survival would be 2'-3'. I would imagine most phones get dropped at waist level, either from pockets/laps/tables or while dialing.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Alright, so let's say it's the user's fault that the phone drops from 5 feet and that Google doesn't need to engineer the phone to survive that kind of fall.

Still, will you guys at least concede that a hole for attaching a lace would have been easy to add and would have prevented many drops?
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
speaking only for myself, i don't wear my phone around my neck or attach it to my wrist like jewelry, so no, a lanyard would not help prevent any droppage at all..

i've dropped it several times, out of the jeep, out of my pocket, into the toilet, into the bath while i was turning off the water... I have a single scratch on one corner on the back, and it largely rubbed invisible, the screen is pristine, and it's fully functional. I'd say this one of the more rugged phone/pda devices i've ever had.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
EXTREMELY controlled environment. Most would take a manufacturer's own tests with a grain of salt...a huge grain of salt.

Again, phones will get dropped (I have already done so myself), but repeated drops from around 5 feet on asphalt is just asking for damage. Not having any sort of case doesn't help either.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
you can say that, but just watching that video is enough physical proof to my eyes that the phones are durable and strong enough. the way some people are talking on the web it seems like the nexus cant take a fall from 6 inches...
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
First off, thanks for the word! English is not my first language so I didn't know "lanyard" :p

Then again, a lanyard obviously won't prevent droppage if you don't use it but it will if you do. Not only that, it will give you peace of mind. I have been using my N1 as a camera on a trip these days and boy, I was TERRIFIED of using it in the crowd. I feared that someone would bump into me and I would drop the phone. The thin design and smooth, round finish do look attractive but don't help grip the phone firmly, and when you have to grab it around the edge to take a photo... well, I would have like to have the assurance that even if I dropped it there was still the lanyard to keep it from hitting the floor.

True. I've dropped the N1 more times than any other phone, ever. And it's still looking good.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
Well, I'm not saying it's not durable or strong enough to take a fall or two, but several falls from 5 feet onto asphalt would most certainly damage any electronic item. :p

Sure the video makes it look like it's durable enough, but again, the point remains: it's a controlled environment.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
The last drop in that video has always looked fake to me, how the phone just stays perfectly in one position and falls sideways at any odd angle.. Just looks weird..
[HD2 General] wilsojer:
I've tried searching, but came up with nothing (not even on Google).

It seems to me that my HD2 charges up much quicker when connected to the mains than it does when charging via USB - is this correct ? I'd prefer to only charge via USB as, that way, the phone is still syncing, but it sometimes takes forever to get to full charge that way.

Just wanted to get others' opinions on this.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
The wall charger charges at 1 amp.

USB, with a powered USB socket, will max out at half that due to the 500mA standard that USB uses.

So, in theory, it should take twice as long to charge on USB alone.
[HD2 General] Aterlatus:
Plus the 500mA limit on USB is spread across several physical ports, so if you have anything else plugged in then you'll be charging at an even lower rate.
[HD2 General] wilsojer:
Good to know - thanks, guys - I learnt something new today :)

Guess I'll charge via mains going forward.

Thanks again !
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
plus when connected to active sync the phone is on, when its I wall charger it will be on standby.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
Despite HTC shipping a 1A charger (which is the most I've ever seen for a USB charger) Lion battery prefer not to get cooked while charging and would last longer if charged at 500ma.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Exact, the phone actually limits what it draws from an USB port to about 450mA (some safety margin). Then, is stays powered on and active (due to ActiveSync running), drawing approx 100mA. So it actually charges at about 450-100= 350mA, taking ridiculously long (4-5h) to charge. With the supplied charger it charges at 850mA.

Wrong, each port gets 500mA.

Li batteries support 1C charge without drawback (would be 1.32A for the HD2's battery).
[HD2 General] pa49:
Incorrect. The USB standard requires 500mAh nominal at any port when used alone. Manufacturers then decide whether they will "over specify" or not. You will not get 2mAh from a 4 port USB bus unless the internal power supply its built for it and many are not. Current is drawn by the device and if the draw exceeds the supply rating then there is a shortfall to all devices. It all depends on how well the equipment is specified and there its wide variation.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
More details about charging here
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Read page 171 of the USB 2.0 specification:

A port is either low power, in which case it can supply 1 unit load (100mA), or high power, which can supply 500mA. There's no spreading between ports, for each port if it's a high power one it must be able to supply 500mA at any time, if it's a low power one it will never provide more than 100mA. So there's no such thing as one that provides 500mA if used alone and less if others are connected... or the manufacturer is violating the spec.

Note that low power ports pretty much don't exist on PCs. They can be found on multimedia players with host function for example, which are just good to power a USB key or card reader.

Further on the page you can see that with hubs that don't have external power, the output ports are required to be low power ones, so that a 4-port hub can give one of the 5 unit loads it receives to each port, plus one for its own power, so you can't draw 500mA on any port of a bus-powered hub and be within spec.

Now if you could refrain from misleading users... can't count anymore how many times I've corrected you on your firm affirmations...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] roxiedawn(::
Hello, thankyou everyone who takes the time to read this and to help. My HTC Touch Pro, the screen is completely black, it turns on and I can recieve calls and I know the keyboard works, but I cant even tell who it is or what I'm typing since the screen is blacklight and won't show anything. It powers on and off and charges and i can hear the sounds so I think its just a problem with the screen.

I've tried MyMobiler and Pocket Controller, but both cant work for me because I first need to connect to Activesynce or Windows Mobile Device Center, but I can't even see the password I'm typing so I can't unlock the phone to view it on my computer :((( so I can't get it to connect to activesync or WMDC.

I really wish it was'nt locked with a password because then everything would be easier I'm so upset by this DDD:

I can't hard reset either because I can't see the screen at all.

Should I try to open it up and replace the screen&digitizer myself? I really don't want to try spending extra money fooling around with the phone if I'm not sure it'll work.

What I'd really love to know, does anybody know how to view the phones screen on the computer without having to unlock the password first from the phone? If anyone can help me with that or find some other method than I'd realyREALLYReallyyyy appreciate that sooo much. I could just type the password from the computer or hard reset and everything.

Or if theres any other method of fixing this that would help too...

Also, I can't take it to Sprint store because its out of warranty/insurance, so

I'm just trying to repair it myself. I've heard of this happening to people before but have'nt ever seen it get fixed.

Again, THANKYOU to anyone thats reads or tries to help !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Zach:
Have you tried "Hard-Resetting" using the 3 Key Combo? (Hardware Mode)

[G1 Android Development] shawndaivari:
Hey guys,

Seeing how cyanogenmod and Super D kinda use the same guts to an extent, I flashed Super D 1.10.* over Cyanogenmod 4.1.15.1 without a wipe and it's running fine. Is this something I'm going to regret later and should wipe and reflash, or is it a non issue?

Also I'm looking to upgrade to a larger (posibly faster) microSD card. What is the best way of doing this without losing any data/apps? Would it be nand+ext backup from recovery, then partition new microSD same way, and drag over nand+ext file and restore? Or is it going to be a two step process, of partitioning and reflashing new microSD, and using a third party app like mybackup to restore apps?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] ttabbal:
If it's not broken now, it's probably fine. If you run into problems though, do the wipe.

As for the SD, I use a Linux boot CD (Ubuntu Installer CD) to partition and copy the SD contents. I just used 2 SD readers and copied directly between the cards. It worked very well for me and the phone didn't know the difference. Doing a nand+ext, partitioning the new card, then restoring would likely work for apps and such, but /sdcard (the FAT32 partition) won't be restored. You can use just about anything to copy that partition though.
[G1 Android Development] shawndaivari:
thanks man. gonna go get new microSD today. I hear sandisk is best quality for accuracy in class claims. any other suggestions? people always tell me microSD's over ebay from generic manufacturers in china rarely match their advertised class ranking. Any one agree that notion?

Holy crap.. it worked! Thanks for posting that you tried it w/success. I just flashed Super D's 1.10.3 w/out any issue.

[G1 Android Development] blas4me:
Word to the Wise

The best way for me is to turn off the phone, put new SD in and if your have RA-amon's recovery you can partition with that, and then toggle USB. Plug your old SD into your computer with SD-reader or the like, I use a USB-reader. Then you copy old SD to new. Remember once you partition your card it becomes the life of your phone, your apps are stored in your partition. So' everthing that was on the old card needs to copied to the new one or your going to have problems. Nandroid backs up your rom state, not your SD. As for SD's I would go with kingston, I've tried quite a few and kingston's have never let me down. Trust me I've been with this root thing from the beginning, when we rooted through Telnet and partition from console in recovery and ADB. I've root over 20 phones. I just rooted my moms Samsung Moment. Follow instuctions and you don't have problems. I would'nt make a habit of flashing without a wipe, I wipe data, dalvik and ext, just to be safe. Use Backup for root users, and then you can restore on your new rom, so you don't have to go through installing all your apps.
[G1 Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
wait wait wait...your tellin' me...we can flash superD over cyanogen without doin; the whole partition thing!...without any problems? or do i have to do all that before?...

[HD2 General] cu2cool:
Hello, I tried doing some searches for these, but could use a little help. I'm looking for a fix for my stock ROM to arrange my start menu icons to a rectangular grid instead of the default staggered layout. Sort of like the Android app launcher or iPhone layout. I know about c00kie's home tab, but I'm not interested in all the functionality it provides, just a regedit or cab I can install to rearrange my icons in start menu.

My second issue is with the Vibrate profile. Whenver I listen to music through my headphones while on vibrate mode, the system volume auto switches the vibrate mode off, which is fine. But when I disconnect my headphones, I would like for it to switch back to vibrate mode automatically because sometimes I forget. What makes it worse is that it defaults to silent mode after, so I can't hear if someone calls me. Is there a solution to this? Or maybe a cab that separates ring/system volume settings from media playback volume settings? I like how my old MyTouch can keep the vibrate profile the same even while listening to music.
[HD2 General] domineus:
google awesome start cab

that will arrange your icons in a list format

Ok - I just stumbled across something on ebay.

One seller is suggesting (I think) that a Nokia BL5c battery works with the Desire?

htxp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WORLDWIDE-BATTERY-TRAVEL-CHARGER-KIT-FOR-HTC-DESIRE_W0QQitemZ350340077535QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_PDACharger?hash=item5191e557df#ht_4597wt_1167

Anyone shed any light on this?
[Desire Accessories] irishandrew:
Hmm, not sure about a nokia battery in the Desire. If sources are to be believed it uses the same battery as the Nexus One. A quick (albeit not very thorough) google search on the battery listed in the ebay add suggests it's around 1100mAh? That's less than the Desire's original battery capacity. You can get a 1600mAh battery from Seidio - available from mobilefun - they have a good track record with non-OEM batteries:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/seidio-innocell-extended-life-battery-htc-desire-p24215.htm

This fits in the same space as the current one. There is an even greater extended battery (3200mAh) however requires a new battery compartment door, and as it's marketed for the nexus one there is no desire door as yet (plus IMHO negates the point of having such a beautiffuly slim phone...

If you need all the charging bits, then go ahead and buy from the listing - though I'd be wary about putting such a cheap battery in my expensive new phone... Alternatively, invest in a nice retractable microUSB sync cable and you should be able to find USB charging sources around, or travel with any USB-power outlet adaptor.

-andrew.
[Desire Accessories] miguelromerom:
it´s same the battery of nexus and htc desire ?¿?¿
[Desire Accessories] irishandrew:
Nexus One battery = Desire battery

Same part number; BA-S410 (HTC) 1400mAh.
[Desire Accessories] miguelromerom:
ok thanks, are you sure ?¿?¿
[Desire Accessories] irishandrew:
Yes, sure. As I said, same part number from HTC. Both phones made by HTC. Also another forum member in a different thread bought the Nexus One Seidio battery and used it in desire without issue.

If you go for the extended Seidio (1600mAh) make sure not to go for the 3200mAh option - as you will NOT fit the back cover on the phone.
