Considering you wrote your email address wrong (you meant gmail?), and I was in a hurry and didn't question it, I just copied/pasted what you wrote. Thus, you're not going to get it. And you wasted one of my invites. Sorry.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] V4ND3RP00L:
If someone would be so kind to send me one of the Google Voice invites. I would appreciate it very much and you can send it to V4ND3RP00L@gmail.com and I would suggest just copy and past for that email address.

I don't want someone to try and type it and get it wrong. Cause then I lose out and you do as well by losing one of your invites.

Hope to get one soon, thanks!

I have just bought myself a website and uploaded Mantis , a defect database for XDA Developers.

This way the users can report bugs and the chefs can keep it in track while they fix stuff.

First thing, Chefs tell me who each one of you is. i will create a developer log in for you. then create a database of each of your phones... for example

TYTN II - MYN's Donut will be one database with myn as the developer. and everyone can upload bugs on his donut there and he can assign fixes and keep it in track.

Let me know so i can start it. I am not sure if i can post the link here. Once i get the access to post it i will do so.

Chef's its your move first.

FYI: I am doing this as a hobby just like the rest of you. I dont have any commercial interest in this new site.

Thanks guys
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
So I've just adjusted my anti smudge (matt effect) screen protector, washed it off and re-applied but I couldn't help notice how vivid the screen looks without a screen protector on. I remember talk when I got my Hero that you didn't need a protector due to the coating on the screen. Is this the case with the Nexus One?

How simple would it be, if I did scratch the screen (I don't think I would, I never put it in a pocket with anything else in for example) to have just the screen replaced? Can I take it to a shop, do I have to send it away? Is it expensive? How long could it take?

How about you guys? I just automatically order and apply a screen protector, am I in the minority or majority?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalex86:
I've always been a strong supporter of screen protectors. You can get a decent quality protector for a measly $2-$3. Once you take your time to install it (using tape to remove *any* imperfections), it will last for quite some time on your phone.

If the protectors peel off of your phone quickly, then either the protector is crappy quality, the installation wasn't great, or more importantly, your phone is being subjected to physical torture. If the protector is rubbing off the phone, then be happy there is even a protector on the screen. If it wasn't there, a lot of the "rubbage" would have been directed onto the screen itself causing micro-scratches, or worse. Get a crystal clear if you do not like the matte-blur of the anti-glare film.

It's like insurance. You get it just in case something were to go wrong, but hope that it doesn't. A $3, and 10 minute investment is worth not having to deal with the stress/financial burden of finding and paying for a screen replacement, and dealing with the thought of, "if I only had purchased a screen protector..."

(Also, it can help when it comes time to sell the phone)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
LOL, what were you doing with the phone?!? vibrate function?

in answer to OP, i used to, i took it off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotmaxtron:
I've not used a screen protector since I ditched my sidekick II many years ago. Manged to use my HTC Dream for well over a year and my CDMA Hero for about 6 months and now my N1 for about 3 months with zero scratches or anything on any of the phones. I've NEVER had the thought of "oh no i wish i would've gotten a screen protector" but every time i look down at that beautiful screen on my N1 i'm glad i DON'T have one.

Be careful with your phone, it IS like a $600 gadget, treat it as such.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
Simply put, no you don't need a screen protector. Check this video out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqwKa4bT74

If you're careful with your phone and you're mostly just worried about whether keys in your pocket will scratch up the screen, you should be fine without one. That said, a screen protector is only a few bucks and I think it's an investment worth making for a $600 phone. It doesn't hinder the touchscreen's sensitivity and it doesn't hurt having another layer of protection on there.

Also I find that I have better success selling a phone if I ship it with the screen protector and say that it has been on the device since day one. Just IMO
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlenH:
I use an invisible shield screen protector purely for the reduced problem of fingerprints.

I found I was forever having to wipe the screen without the protector.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utcarbs:
Honestly, this is the only reason I want to get a screen protector. I hate having to clean the screen constantly. Apparently I have greasy fingers. Are there any screen protectors that someone would recommend to avoid finger prints?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
I used a well-thought-of static matte finish protector for a couple of weeks. I was trying to reduce glare in bright conditions.

PROs:

It DOES reduce glare (see CONs for why this really wasn't all that...)

It makes using Swype much nicer.

The negative effect on touch sensitivity was really very slight.

It reduces fingerprinting, but it doesn't make the phone immune from grubbiness

CONs:

The Nexus experience is MUCH less vivid with the protector in place.

Even though glare is reduced, usability in really bright (read - outdoor in the sun) conditions was not significantly improved.

I don't use a case, so the protector got noticeably scratched.

You would be hard-pressed to significantly scratch the glass screen, except by trying to do it.

I ditched the protector after about 2 weeks, and like the phone better without it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
I ordered a BSE kit for mine since it was less than $10 and I thought I'd give it a try, I haven't installed it yet simply because I don't like the shinny finish of it. I was considering putting it on the screen only for finger print reduction (anyone know if it makes a difference there?)

As for the rest of the phone, has anyone managed to scratch the soft touch material on the back or had it start to peel? The same material is used on the controls of a lot of cars and its known to peel quite easily.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk0t24:
I'm not fond of screen protectors. Screen seems durable enough if you treat your phone with proper care.
[HD2 General] jlo12:
Is it possible to have a slide to call option on the HD2? I hate how easy it is to accidentally dial a number on this phone (then i have to cancel) . I would love to have slide to confirm I want to make a call just like I have to slide to confirm I want to take one. I have looked in the forums, but have not seen anything that is like it.

Just a thought

Thanks
[Nexus One General] chowdarygm:
Hi all

Love my Nexus One

being a heavy user of many winmo and android devices feel like the ROM development on this is very dull :eek:

any reasons?

:(
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
I noticed that too, then again...most of the nexus ROMs out are near perfect...and don't require as much hackery as the G1 Roms did...I dunno whatsup with any ports as of yet, but I'm sure things will pick up.
[Nexus One General] azalex86:
This is exactly it. The fact that there aren't constant updates to ROMs is a success I think...it means nothing is horridly broken. This is the first phone I've had in a long time, that I've been so satisfied with, I'm not flashing a new ROM every other day.
[Nexus One General] david1171:
We have the latest version of android out there that is accessible by the public or the ROM devs (that they can release).

We aren't trying to backport features because of the above.

The only real (I say real in a non "thanks bro" way) ROM porter we have is without internet (I assume on vacation).

As stated above, most things already work as they should.

While development is slow compared to the G1, also remember that all of our devs also do work on other devices and don't just devote all their android expertise to just one phone.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
There isn't any new material to work with. Until Google releases FroYo or new beta updates we're at a stand still.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
If you worked in the software world, you would be seeing this as a good thing :)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Here you go!

http://android.git.kernel.org/

Hope to see some awesome ROMs from you.

Enjoy!
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Its a good thing because there are no major bugs in existing ROMs. They only get updated when google or some dev introduces new features...
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
This is my first phone which is still running stock ROM. With all my earlier devices...something always seemed broken or felt like it lacked something.

When I had Touch.. Touchflo was launched by HTC and all the ROM development was diverted to getting Touchflo on Touch. And with lack of enough RAM, there were always choices to be made on what you want and hence many ROMS

Then I got Diamond. It was good, but again had less RAM than Touch Pro. Again race was to get Touch Pro features in Diamond and again choices had to be made to cramp up things in the limited storage.

Then I got Touch Pro... and within few months, Diamond II and Touch Pro II was launched. Cooks started scrambling to get new touchflo 3d on Diamond and Touch Pro.

Then I got Diamond II, and sure enough HTC continued there trend of backstabbing it's customers and launched HD2 with new touchflo aka Sense. Cooks then started to figure out ways to get Sense UI on diamond II.

So you see, there were always things lacking... which forced cooks to figure out things that HTC should have done for us. HTC's first Touch phone was launched along with iPhone... but touch hasn't received any updates for past 2 years.... and Apple is still supporting iPhone (although no OS4 for them).

N1 on the other hand is Google's responsibility. We have the latest OS and features. There is not enough "to-do" things here.

Regardless of that, our Chefs are doing amazing job at giving us the features which AOSP is still finalizing.

With all due respect to you.. I think it is a bit unfair to say that the chefs aren't doing much.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
I'm sorry, we'll get right on it, boss.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
It is "slow" because the phone and the ROMs are so damn fast and good already. You can't port 1.5/6 ROMs over because we can't map the buttons without having a 1.5/6 Kernel made for the Nexus One. That is never going to happen.

As well, really? What is slow about the development? We have tons of new apps coming out all the time, the ROMs we have a super fast and super stable. New Kernels every day or two pushing battery life and CPU power even further.

There is tons of development going on. Just because you aren't seeing new ROMs every day doesn't mean a lack of development, it means the ROMs we have are super solid, and development has shifted to making the other aspects better, like apps themselves, and so forth. That is one of the best things about Android, you don't need to flash a new ROM just to get some new apps, like HexiLauncher and what not, all you need to do is install the app, and voila you have a new home/launcher option on your phone.

Or, you don't need to flash a new ROM just to get a new kernel, you can flash the kernel yourself (if you know how to follow simple instructions) that gives you the newest features, and features that mean more to our phones running super fast than a new ROM would mean... actually by ROM I am talking about system.img...

Anyways, if you really think things are just way to slow, then either learn how to do it yourself, make a huge donation to your favorite developer on the basis of them picking up the pace (and by huge, I mean 50k+, so they can quit their day job), or just accept the simple fact that there is a ton of development going on already, you (and many as of late) don't seem to understand enough to realize that kernels and apps are more important, at this point in time, than a ROM update every other day.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
LOL another one of these threads :-) curious as to what else can you ask for? All the tweaks that are available and possible for this phone has already been done.
[Nexus One General] chowdarygm:
thanks to all those who replied. :)

i am not blaming any chefs. they are doing a highly respected job and i respect them and their work very much. thanks to all of them

i was just telling that the no.of chefs on this device are very less but maybe the reasons are diff as everyone told

like king personally coz he does experiments like blur and others

personally i like experimenting with diff roms , so only felt little jobless :D as compared to other devices but happy with almost perfect device.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Now this I would agree with you. The number of ROM devs are a lot less compared to the G1, :-( the phone is fairly new though.. But the ones we have working on the N1 are all great nevertheless .
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
ahh.. so you are suffering from what I call XDA syndrome. It's when you start feeling uncomfortable when you haven't flashed a new ROM in a week. I had that too... back in WinMo days... fortunately N1 has helped and I have resisted so far!
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
re: above post..

hahahaha... "XDA Syndrome"

Seriously though, Modaco has been gone for awhile. Got stuck cuz of the volcano issue... it's been weeks since he has released even an update!

We are a little spoiled with the N1 I think... on top of that with 2.2 coming out shortly I think a bunch of cooks will be kinda waiting for that to come out before they do any more major tweaking.

The main thing I personally am waiting for is a fully working SenseUI on the N1.... I kinda thought it would materialize much quicker once the DESIRE came out.
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
LOL... i think i have the same problem im feenin for another enom rom but as he stated he was on vacation which i can respect cause im going to Miami soon. I have no complaints to the rom development but i'd love to see more themes like motoblur style X10 style i miss my motoblur theme on my magic :(

[edit] And before your go saying i should make one myself i tried and it was to difficult for me for some reason.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Coming from winmo myself it was a change not having a dozen or more roms to choose from but in reality looking at it objectively most of the roms are either adding something that came in a newer device or more or less a rehash of what was already done in that they didnt do anything new but they did it in a different way. Not that the latter is a bad thing, the improved layouts people came up with greatly eased, speeded up, reduceded the number of clicks, etc. in getting where you wanted to go and I at least was happy to see them coming down the pipe. As an aside when winmo was as youthful as android is now there was a lot less rom activity than what you see now as best as I can recall back.
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
lol, I had that like 2 weeks ago...kept flashing and flashing and flashing...finally I settled on my highly customized 5.0.5.3, still haven't jumped to 5.0.6 due to wifi issues (and me being suspended until payment next week)
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
I had 'XDA Syndrome' with my Magic.. I found myself flashing something new (ROM or theme) every week. Now with my Nexus, I have no desire to do so. Like others have already said, I think it's a testament to the stability of the ROMS out there coupled with the fact that 2.1 is already kick ass. We already have the best software on our N1's people. Believe me, once 3.0 or even Froyo comes out we will see an increase in ROM development.

Also, there may not be many devs for the N1 as of now, but many of the absolute best ones have a Nexus so I'm not worried about future development.
[Android Software Development] foulball41:
I have created a big brother system for the police department. I have used this site to upgrade my phones and am fully confident that the best way to go about designing the right software for this device would come from the same brilliant minds that made my phone so functional. If you are a senior member that has created a functional rom that would be interested in a partnership for developing such a device please respond asap.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Hi.

I have a problem with my X10. I don't know if is android related or only applies to X10.

I posted in another section but i didn't get any answers so, it might be only X10.

Here it is.

A few days ago i installed a network monitor from market and reset the counters to 0 at midnight.

In the morning i had 12Mb traffic.

After, i disabled google sync, facebook and twitter updates, removed the weather widget from screen and i still had constant traffic.

2h ago i did a factory defaults and i only installed NetSentry and a task killer.

I don't have sync configured, no weather, no twitter, etc.

I killed all the apps excepting net sentry (including the task killer), set the counters to 0 and in 15min i have 130k traffic.

I don't have a data plan so, i'm only using wifi.

Can somebody with an X10 to monitor their traffic with net sentry (or other net monitor app)?

But, somebody with 3G or WIFI active all the time (WIFI sleep policy set to Never).

I'm curious if is something with my phone or ...
[XPERIA X10 General] proatiku:
hey dude, i have the same thing happening here. i think its andriod not the phone. but i do agree with with you, some kind of time-out for the phone to disconnect if its sleeping is necessary not only to conserve battery but for those with limited data plan.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, if you are in WIFI area 22h/day you don't need a data plan :P but you need data active to receive mails, updates, etc :) so, my WIFI is always active.

I know is not the phone... what i want to figure out if is the Rogers branded firmware which has a problem or is something general and all X10 (or even all androids) are doing the same traffic.

Here in Canada, Rogers has stupid data plans.

25$ for 500Mb, 30$ for 1Gb, 60$ for 3Gb and 80$ for 5Gb.

If my phone is doing 0.5Mb in 1h without any apps running, those plans are a rip off :)

This means ~350Mb per month without any emails, browsing, etc gone on absolutely nothing.
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
Cool... I've a 3G data plan so I don't really care for data traffic (I will however do the test and share results), but having 3G attached consumes very quickly the battery (100% at 8:00 AM, 20% at 8:00 PM, with push e-mail on both Moxier and GMail). How long lasts the battery with WiFi always connected?
[XPERIA X10 General] proatiku:
wow i must say your battery is amazing. what Firmware are you running? my battery consumption is about 50% for only 5hours.

am on unlimited Data and 3G always connected. its driving me crazy. :mad::mad::mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
I'm running the stock firmware and actually I don't find the battery so amazing: consuming 80% of charge in half a day is very bad. And this is achieved by disabling Bluetooth (with my previous Xperia X1 I was used to let BT always turned on) and minimal usage. If I surf a bit, or talk few minutes, I will run out of battery, and this is not acceptable...
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Please, this is not about battery or power management, we have another thread for that.

So, nobody wants to do the test for 30min to see if they have traffic when background sync is disabled and all the other apps killed?
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
It wasn't my intention to go off topic, I just asked you how long lasts your battery with WiFi always connected.

I plan to do the 30 minute test this week end. Which application are you using to count the transferred data?
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, never more than 12h :) but i listen music via Bluetooth a few hours and i play a lot with the phone (heh, new toy)

I bought UltimateJuice ... i hope i'll see an improvement.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Nobody else has problems with data?

Or, everyone has unlimited data plans?
[XPERIA X10 General] senninha:
the constant data access appears to be a function of Android. i immediately noticed that when i entered my network settings.

the perfect solution i found was to install an app called APNdroid, which you can get for free at the Android market. this allows you to toggle your network data connection on and off and gives you total control over your data consumption. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, the idea is: i need my data on most of the time.

But, i don't want unwanted data :)

And it seems nobody knows which app or service is doing this traffic.

And more than that, it seems that nobody cares :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Shiwantha:
Try to use 3d watchdog to monitor traffic. Best straightforward application

Link

And Install APN Droid and switch on/off 3G when ever you want.

Link

even further you can install profile package to automatically activate wifi or 3g on certain time or location.
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
@Shiwanta, thank's for the tip of 3G Watchdog ! Will try it soon.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I know about 3g watchdog and apn droid but i don't want my data disabled. i still need sync and email updates.

ibought ultimate juice. let's hoe it helps.

[HD2 General] Tanquen:
+1

My friend has the Droid Incredible with a very similar HCT Sense home screen but the Icons and weather text looks much better. The fonts on HD2 look like they are being resized and not at their default size.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
turn on cleartype
[HD2 General] Tanquen:
The HCT Sense home screen and or Windows Mobile has a cleartype setting? Do tell...

It already looks blurry and that's what cleartype does right? I've removed it from Windows 7 and Internet Explorer as it gives me a headache. :(
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
cleartype stops it looking pixely/grainy. works well on our screen

It can be found at

settings - menu - all settings - system - screen - cleartype tab.

if you cant find the screen settings ( i think they were off by default in the tmous rom) you can turn it on by creating the reg key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE

thats all key, there doesnt need to be any values of any type in there. If that key exists, cleartype is on.
[HD2 General] Tanquen:
I had just found this and it makes it look diferent but still pixely/grainy:

"By default, the cleartype has been disabled in HD2 ROM. Add this to the registry \HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType\ClearType as DWord Value is 1 '

"You can additionally enable cleartype in landscape mode by setting the following key to 0 though: HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/OffOnRotation '
