What exactly do you want to be developed? Do you want us Android users to port the lackluster Windows Mobile over to our devices? Is this what you expect?

MOTO Blur can't be correctly ported because of key mapping, and even so the resolution would be off without any current Android devices having MOTO Blur on a big screen, same goes for Espresso. X10 is in the making, as it also has button matching issues. Which are now being figured out.

You seem to be an intelligent person, someone who is smart enough to notice that this phone has been out for less that 4 months - which obviously means there is much to be left discovered. Your post, and this thread, are both pathetic. You act as if developing takes a small flick of the wrist, and as if the developers are not actually "trying" or pushing out more things that tickle your fancy fast enough - exactly what are you expecting? Also, please note that Windows has the ability to boot both Linux and itself, which im sure is a little relevant.

Why don't you wait a little while and see how things play out before making these little rant threads that are not needed..

[QUOTE=trevorwhopkins;6187241 I am very dissappointed in customer service, and some hardware stuffl?[/QUOTE

You had to know you'd be flamed for your thoughts (although all valid opinions), but I can't see how you point out customer service as an issue when you're on your third (I assume free replacement) N1.

Regarding the community and development: I think this time around the community and devs knew what was needed based on prior android custom roms. Things like tethering, multitouch, rotating homescreen, launncher with an extra column, A2SD etc. were all released within a very reasonable timeframe. Then there were things like custom notification colors which didn't take much time to come out, either.

The phone is not perfect, and 99% of my frustrations seem to he simply a design flaw (aka hardware issue) where the normal/comfortable position to hold it creates a false/unintended pressz of the touchscreen resulting in random presses - which many blame software on while never realizing they simply need to adjust how they hold the phone. I learned to adjust, which I think everyone has to do for every phone (learn its quirks and adjust accordingly).

Disappointed? Not at all...overpriced? Maybe...glad I'm still the only one I know who has it? Hell yeah!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Fair post but good luck suggesting to many people at xda that their phone isn't the be-all end-all of mobile device development, its like telling a parent their kid is ugly, there's no reason or objectivity involved so youll be made to look soulless. : )

I personally couldn't care less about xda participation. However I am a little disappointed every time a new bug comes up and it turns out its regarding outdated hardware, in that department I did expect a little more. It's disappointing that we have an old screen and what not, surely Google didn't think users wouldn't discover and discuss the copious problems with the phone...

And I do feel like a beta tester. It does feel like the phone was rushed to the public. But this software is still awesome and ultimately we do have some solid hardware to work with and if Google wants to they can make this phone as stable and pleasurable as they advertised it to be. I am so incredibly curious to know what android has been doing lately, the folks there are historically bad at keeping secrets (thankfully) so they have either tightened security or they have been staring at the wall. I'm guessing the former and I can't wait. For a while after the bugs and shortcomings for this phone began to mount I turned my attention to the iPhone, lucky for android the iPhone OS 4.0 is not impressive. As long as the hardware isn't either, android can string me along for a good while.

I really don't know what to think. Google is making no effort to advertise the phone (for good reason at this point), and they are silent to all of the problems that have come up. I'm starting to think Google wishes the nexus would go away so they could try again...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
YAWN...

You didn't add anything new to what was posted before. It's just a bunch of empty thoughts.

What is it that you want????

As I said before, we have the most up-to-date version of Android already, we can't anything new if we don't fully understand the changes.

This is just about as open a platform as we will ever see, learn to fix/add what you want.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuda1337:
Here is what I ask? At the time the Nexus came out, what phone was better? Iphone... uhm no. Touchpro2... not a chance. Moto Droid? Inferior hardware. The bottom line is, even with a few problems the Nexus has, it is still a top 5 phone, if not the best phone there is. I can honestly say, for T-Mobile, there is not a single phone offered that I would rather have. I can think of ONE other phone I'd consider getting outside T-Mobile and thats a phone that isn't out yet (Evo 4g). Come on man, do you want the phone to mow your lawn for you? It's an incredible device.

Oh and judging the quality of a phone based on sales figures is retarded. I don't care if it only sold one phone, if its a great phone its a great phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
I agree with you. Unlike the G1, we aren't trying to backport 2.1 features or build ROMs with as many things working in 2.1 as we can.

People like Sense, good for them. Personally, I don't care for it in the least. I like a few of the visuals of the status bar from it, which is why I kanged them, but I don't really care at all for the rest of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
I'm running stock right know.. you know why? Because 2.1 is already the best Android experience! Like Eclair said, I don't get what you want right now.. Yes, the G1 and Magic have alot more ROMS out there but most of them are just 2.1 port attempts! They're trying to get what we already have on our phones. Just to further echo some common sentiments, the phone has only been out for a few months whereas the G1 has been out for a year and a half.. Don't worry, the development will come.. You should feel assured in the fact that many of the top G1/Magic devs switched over to the N1, it was one of the reasons I chose the Nexus over waiting for phones like the Desire.

All that said, I definitely am disappointed with a few things: The various hardware issues that have been popping up amongst different users (I personally have the purple tint issue), and the lagginess of the homescreen swiping. While the 2.1 is very fast in terms of app to app switching or web browsing, it lacks the polish that I hoped 2.1 would have (ie. like the iPhone). Yea, I know things like smooth scrolling on the iPhone are just eye candy, but it matters. It's what appeals to the masses.

An example, I have a non-techie friend who has played around with my Magic before (The Magic was running CursorSense). When he first played around with the N1 his first response was "How come this phone is slower than your Magic, I thought you payed $600 for it?".. He was referring to the scrolling. Of course after I showed him a few neat things (live walls, 3d launcher and gallery etc) he changed his mind but the point remains, the N1 doesn't leave the best first impression.

Overall I am happy with it although I feel it is definitely over priced. But the hardware is built for the future so I'm know that the software updates and future xda development will make it an investment that was worth taking!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Obviously the marketing (lack of) cant have helped sales. Putting it out first on Tmo was a mistake because it severly limited its market even among those who knew about it due to the lack of coverage. I think a traditional carrier launch on either AT&T or Verizon would have moved a lot of handsets. I think Google isnt stupid and they knew these things going in so they had their reasons.

Im not getting the slow development complaints. Its been 4 months. None of the other devices I had saw development that was faster in their intial months of release. At least not as I could notice, I freely admit I wasnt counting roms/apps and logging them in a database.

Personally I dont feel qualified to comment in great detail on a phone I picked up yesterday but I can say I dont regret it at all now that I have hardware in hand. It pretty much rocks as is and I for one am confident that good things are coming and its going to get better.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
I would say the negative responses I got here are unappreciated and pointless, but then again they were expected and matter as much as my opinion does.

As for customer service... no. I didn't get anything free. My first n1's lcd broke inside my pocket in a restauraunt. The glass and case was perfect. There were tiny cracks in the lcd. I didn't drop it or anything. I really liked the phone, so I bought another. Google and HTC both gave me a runaround about covering it. Twenty minutes into a conversation, 3 steps up the corporate ladder, and and they finally said send it in, charge 500 dollars, and if your lucky we will give it back. The second time, my wife dropped it, which was her fault. As opposed to my TP2, Palm Pre, my sister's G1, which carriers were glad to replace free immediately if they even looked funny.

My point wasnt to repeat the other guys, only to explain my point about us being beta testers and ask how others felt. I expected some of you to defend it all, and some to complain. I was only explaining the things that made me think about it. And I feel that it is pointless for people to jump all over any person that posts a opinionated comment. If your not trolling or begging or complaining to devs, there's nothing wrong with having an opinion.

I didn't want to end up defending WM at all, only pointing out that their community is insanely creative. I have plenty of respect for how hard devs work. It's not the devs work I questioned, but the amount and interest of the dev community in this phone. If I wanted a WM phone I'ld have gotten the HD2. I like Android just fine, although I'ld be happy to jump on a GSM Droid with 1ghz, as I like my keyboards and hate the glare under the sun of OLED.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
Also, all I meant to say about the sales numbers was that is just statistics. Chances are the phone with the most users has the most development, as theaudience is the biggest.

I see all of your points, and didnt mean to complain. The point of my post was this:

How do YOU ALL feel about your experience so far?

Thats why I explained overall how I felt with all the stuff we all have seen positive and negative.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I don't regret at all the $$ I paid for Nexus One. It's an amazing phone with a great OS, it has some negatives like any other phone in the universe (battery,ringtones volume and sunlight visibility) but it has so many positives :D

My ex-SE phones (that I totally loved) look like an old nintendo NES compared to an XboX360
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymond77:
Other than the **** battery, I'm perfectly happy with my N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
plain and simple... give me a multi-touch screen that actually works the way it should and I would be 100% satisfied with my phone...

I was hoping that the gaming experience on the phone would be much more pleasurable but with how quirky the touch screen is its nearly impossible to have a great experience...

I would say I am about 80% pleased with the experience so far and I came from a t-mobile dash so the tech on the N1 was leaps and bounds ahead of my old phone but given that I had to shell out all that money for the phone means I should have a 100% sexy piece of hardware instead of 80% of one... with a phone that has no physical keyboard, the touch screen should be much higher quality than it is....

my 2 cents...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
Trevor, I agree with you.

Face it people, the phone is a disappointment.

Its funny how something that isnt the most awesome device that will be ever created gets put under a device with even more flaws just because the 1st device has some...

stinkypete had some good points, but then I guess the steve jobs in him took over and he went so overboard he got to the point where people just start ignoring him.

does that mean steve job's mental take over of the apple cronies is almost complete?

fy

With all the issues you have, you are severely unlucky. I have none of them, and this is why threads like this irritate me, because there is literally almost nothing wrong with my phone, while others are having so many difficulties and I simply don't understand why.

My 3G is fine, my touchscreen rarely has any hiccups, with the Desire ROM I get flash lite, and even so I know the official flash is being developed.. I love the trackball because it notifies me, and allows selecting smaller text easier, I haven't used hotmail in forever, and that pink blob photo issue hasn't been mentioned since the phone first released, which I never experienced anyways. There is a media volume option in the settings menu, force closing is rare, and not to mention the same screen (the Clearpad 2000 I believe it's called) is used on every recent HTC device that has been released. Don't know why it seems to ruin the N1 so severely though.

My experience with this device has been so pristine that I can't comprehend how others seem to have thousands of problems.. while I myself do not... I see why Google sold this phone online, though, I'm going assume they knew it had issues - and therefore releasing it online would allow them to easier fix said issues due to user feedback having to be given directly to them instead of the carrier. Though they say they wanted to revolutionize the way phones were sold, I am thinking they had alternative plans behind the scenes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Love my Nexus One. Have a Ipod which made me hate Itunes. Transferring music across computers was a serious pain in the ass.

I have like 10 colleagues who own an Iphone. Played with a couple for a while. Sure the screen transitions are smooth as silk, but what is with the boring square icons I see in every screen? No widgets, lower screen resolution and the lack of multitasking... of course it's fast since the phone isn't doing anything except run one task at a time and it doesn't take much to render the same sized icons in every screen. And yes, my colleagues told me that the Iphone does crash once in a while and some apps are full of lags.

I used to own a Samsung Jet which was my first experience with a touch screen phone. And I actually loved it even though its capacitive touch screen had pretty horrible response. Compared to that, my Nexus One is like smooth butter. Definitely not complaining.

The Iphone is a good gadget I suppose but I can't shake off the feeling that it's just an Ipod Touch with phone functions. I don't give a **** about apple's whole ecosystem crap because I prefer doing things on my own without someone looking over my shoulder thank you very much. That's where Google bought me with Android and Nexus One.

When At&t releases the HTC Desire and HTC Android (with 4.3" screen) this year...

He he he we will all regret.. =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
This thread is INSANELY idiotic. Stop whining like a little girl and go develop something if you think development is slow.

And sure the N1 has some issues.

But it is BY FAR the best phone on the market at the moment. BOTTOM LINE.

iPhone? Can't multitask. Nazi-like control. Evil company.

WebOS? If you're complaining about slow development, that has less than one-tenth of the activity.

Blackberry? Great... for the 1990's.

Windows Mobile? Dead platform to be superseded by Windows Phone 7.

I have no regrets about paying $572 for my N1 because it kicks the crap out of *EVERY* phone currently on the market. No phone is perfect. But comparing the WHOLE device to other devices, this one is hands-down the best.

I DARE you to come up with a better phone right now.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnp263:
I have to concur.

My first smart phone was the original XDA about 8 years ago... and I've had a new phone almost every year since. For me, the Nexus One has been the best.

If you want more development for your phone, do it yourself. Learning to program is not that hard, it is just harder than complaining. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
I think no phone is perfect and certainly the Nexus One isn't an exemption, but for me the benefits and pros outweighs the cons. And I can never ask for a better phone than this ATM at least :)

However I partially agree with the OP, although I never had a problem with my device, little issues like touch screen, launcher lag, battery life never bothered me, but it saddens me learning that other people who are less lucky than most of us, just like the OP, have had major problems like, LCD screen cracks, battery cover uneven, and dust under the screen, major hardware problems that shouldnt be in what I consider a HIGH END DEVICE. This is NOT COOL at all, I personally dont wanna put up with all the hassle of sending my phone back in for repair and all that, so I do feel their frustrations and we cant take that away from them, I ask the community to let them voice out what they think, after all this is a forum right? people come here to share their experiences and ask for advice.

OP I'm content with my phone right now, and I still think the N1 is the best, but I FEEL YOU brother.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
I didn't mean to be extremely negative.

I DO agree that selling this phone online-only was a huge mistake. Yes, for unfortunate people who have problems and have to send their phone back (I had to for broken wifi on arrival), it sucks big time. Selling online-only was a huge, huge, huge failed mistake by Google.

But... I still think this phone is downright amazing. Like you said, the benefits outweigh the cons.

I didn't mean to be extremely negative, but the OP just sounds like he wanted a place to whine and cry.

This is Android; we don't deal with fluff. We cut through the bullsh~t and make solutions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
:) you know what pisses me off the most though? Iphones Marketing is far more superior!!!!! I see commercials on TV about how great the Iphone and their apps!! Things that I know Android/Nexus also have and even done better on the N1. I really dont understand why Google hasn't put up an effort to advertise this damn thing. I almost thought bout contacting them and doing advertisements for them. LOL.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
I think some of you are missing the point to this thread. The OP clearly stated he did not want this to become a bashing thread, but a thread which admits the N1 has some flaws.

Yes it does have flaws, and some people have more than others. I am a lucky one which only has the back battery cover not fitting completely flush so I really dont consider my flaws to be enough to regret buying the phone.

Had I had the dust problem I would of been pissed, but I would of instantly sent it back and got another. If my battery was dying 5 hours after a full charge I'd be pissed also, but luckly I didn't have that either.

With my phone being the way it is I would say I am satisified with it and overall deciding to switch over the android was a good decision for me. I do miss the intergration with outlook that WM had, but I can just hope one day android gets the same. Am I going to start threads bashing developers for not doing this yet? No because if i was that pissed I'd find a way to do it myself.

One thing I am kind of upset about is the pixel distrubtion. This is a FACT so it is true, but it bothers different people differently. It doesn't make sense to me how only the green pixels are 800X400. Is this enough to get me to regret buying my phone? Nope. I understand everything is a package deal and I have to deal with its flaws.

I'm getting tired of all the iphone comparisons and imatition programs because I feel android was ment to be different, but with that being said would I take the nexus one package deal over the iphone package deal? Yes, but thats me.

I agree with it you. Its like google is the kid at school who doesn't want to show up for the fight it started at times. Then again it is kind of cool to be one of maybe 2 or 3 people I know with the most bad A phone that there is.
