[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faraz1992:
Every phone has issues and you're highlighting even the ones that aren't a problem.

Battery = depends upon usage, use UVed ROMs

Touchscreen = Temporary hiccups, still better than most of touchscreen phones in the market. Will be fixed with updates.

A2SD = Its in development, will be perfected in time.

Sloppy slow interface = You're a douche if you say so, Android powered with 1 GHz processor and backed with himem makes the snappiest mobile OS.

3g = Its an issue but will be fixed for sure.

2g = I don't know why you pointed this out. What is the problem you're facing with 2g?

Trackball = What is the problem with the trackball?

Flash/HTML5 = Flash will be available (better condition than iPhone), HTML5.0 is already working with the phone.

Pink Blob = Google admits this issue and will be fixed in their next update.

GDoc app = Wait for now. Google said it would be shifting its focus to developing apps once the defragmentation of android versions is addressed.

Force closing = Its a better way of dealing with bugs. If you don't like this then I think you'd prefer reboots.

Bunch of N1 fanboys who can't admit that their N1 sucks because they have patience and know how development scene works. It takes time.

If I were to choose among iPhone OS, Blackberry OS, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android, I'd select Android again....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Yah, you're right... I just dont like it when I hear all this rave about the Iphone , just because a lot of people are not aware there are phones that can actually compete or even better... But I guess I shouldnt care, we dont get anything from android/nexus one being the best OS/Phone, except bragging rights of course *shrug* :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
@ OP, I'm still waiting for your answer :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
By the way, I mean this respectfully, but alot of people here should learn to be more objective. To be fanatical about one idea or thing is only to blind yourself to the pros of other things, like an iPhone or Blackberry, and even worse blind yourself to the negatives that any product like ours has.

We all had different phones 6 months ago. I had a TP2. If I were a diehard WM guy I would have been oblivious to the n1. But I was able to look at my phone and the n1 and see how each is different but both ok... and came to decide the n1 was alot better for me.

Ask a corporate guy if he wants an n1? Ask a MacBook owner. It's called marketing. Nothing is perfect for everyone. Competition is the foundation for improvement. How do you think Iphone 4.0 is getting multitasking [more or less] and how do you think WP7 finally got the medias attention while 6.5 was laughed at?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
I definitely agree.. I think I'm one of the few people that like products from Apple/Windows/Android etc.. I'm just a fan of technology, I don't like to pledge my full allegiance onto one brand and stick with it no matter what. I'm no Nexus One minion, if there was a better phone out right now, I would switch in a heartbeat.. But I don't think there is.

So far the xda community has been great, but lately I have been noticing that many of the posters have been getting overly defensive about Android devices (Not talking about anyone specific in this thread, but thats just the overall impression I get from reading the boards now).

I would hate for this place to turn into a place like macrumors or something.. I have a Macbook and love it, but Apple fanboys are THE WORST!! You could be a diehard Mac fan but as soon as you say anything negative about Apple in the slightest, the fanboys there will jump on you like a pride of lions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
sheesh......and IPhone owners are rabid?! lol.

I DO love the nexus (iPhone owner since inception)....and really look forward to the Evo/Olympian btw...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
The Evo does look quite interesting, I just wish the newer phones with nice specs actually looked nice.. Red is my favorite color, but that phone just isn't what tech nerds call "sexy" guess.. Not to mention they sadly won't get the development and attention the N1 receives.. Until the next Google phone, meaning from Google, I won't be getting a newer device..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
Pretty much.. Unless a phone comes out that absolutely blows everything out of the water, I'll be sticking to 'Google' phones from now on, they'll most likely be receiving the most Dev support.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
I used to be on sprint but they took too long releasing their newer devices and the pre was actually pretty cool, but not my type of form factor. needs a bigger screen.

the evo looks interesting and 4.3 in is not as big these days as I feared, i saw an HD2 the other day and didn't think it looked overly large. I am a big car electronics guy, so I love video out. I'm liking the new mini-HDMI trend.

HERES an idea... can any devs make the smaller usb work like the usb on older htc's for video out? I loved seeing my internet and games on my car's screen.

I am actually interested in the new Samsung phone, and that LG Slider... but HTC seems to be the best choice for power users, especially with XDA here. I'll probly stick with my N1 till an HTC slider comes out, or the styling of htc phones changes some. I like that unibody legend, if only it were our phones size.

By the way... who says google phones will get the most support? Not saying your wrong, I just always assumed phones with the most users got the most support. The Iphone is so supported because there is like 50 million of them. The N1 has a fraction of other phones users. But then again Dev's will probably develop for phones they want to own, and I'ld assume Google will always have a high end option on the websit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
I'm just going by what the last few years have indicated (G1 being the most active, with alot of the key Devs switching over to the N1 now). And like you said you'd assume that the official 'Google' phone will always have the latest Android platform along with the best specs available
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Its quite obvious and at this point quite predctable, notice the ROM, kernel, and developer support the Nexus has received in less than fourth months of it's release. It is known, Google is Android, and their phone will come before others. At least I would assume that's how things would play out.

I believe it is the new HTC Dream in terms of user support. People still buy those things..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
No video out at all on the N1. The older HTCs had a socket called ExtUSB that fit a standard 5-pin miniUSB but had another set of 6 pins on the other side of the socket for line out and video: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ExtUSB . The N1's microUSB has just the normal 5 pins. Besides, who wants composite nowadays?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
well for video to hdtvs.... no one, including me, wants composite.

but for line out to a 7" screen in a car, composite works fine, and there arent any head units out yet with a digital video connection built in. its still the standard ywr.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
And my reply sir...

battery = you sudgest i root and mod my phone this is all very well and good but I shouldn't have to. I believe that mods and hacks are to personalise and to improve the product and not have to be done just to get it to work properly. And I have even brought Juice defender (ultimatedefender) to improve battery which although helps isn't perfect. (Really friendly and helpful developer by the way)

Touchscreen, A2SD, pink blob, Gdocs, Flash/html5, 3G = you say update is coming..... really? is it? four flipping months and not a dickie bird from Mountain view. This just isn't good enough. I felt that I have been over promised and under delivered. £400+ holding Google's "Flagship phone" and im standing in the middle of London looking for a certain pub on the internet having to wait 3-4 minutes for it to work and another 3-4 minutes for Gmaps to load there after. By this time my iphone loving buddies are on thier second pint (don't start the iphone rants I know they are scum)

2g = my tytn 2 radio definately had a better signal

Granted that Android is going to be awsome but i feel that it is still in beta 2.5 years later. I brought the Nexus one in good faith with the belief that we would have a team of Google employed Android experts to hand to make the handset what it should be but instead we are having to take APP's and Roms off of HTC Desire and other phones just to band-aid our far from perfect Nexus one

Why can't people admit that they are being shafted by the company that they so badly want to support
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
i admit it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
I have a GREAT phone that I THOROUGHLY enjoy using. Explain to me how I got shafted? :)

Just because the coverage is bad where

YOU

live in the UK, doesn't mean the phone is bad for everyone.

Here's a question I would REALLY love an answer to:

If both of you are so unhappy with your phone, why don't you just sell it and go get an iPhone? All Nexus Ones are 100% unlocked so selling them is EXTREMELY easy.

Please, answer both of these questions. I would love to hear your response.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faraz1992:
I'm eager for a reply too... :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Paul, I was going to suggest the same thing. Simply sell your device and go on with your life as needed, no one is asking you to keep it - and from the sound of it, this sounds better for yourself. This would also spare us from having to read your grammatically incorrect rants.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
You know I never thought of it that way, I never considered that many of the issues with Android in general are fixed by the community rather than Google themselves, and they never actually seem to state that they will address said issues - leaving many people don't want to root in the dust.. (which is how most issues get resolved)..

Though, when I got my Nexus I had no issues (other than that non-smooth scrolling thing.. which.. was fixed with rooting my phone).. I'm starting to slowly realize that Android just doesn't seem to be polished correctly..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
DMav, well thought out post. I share a similar sentiment with you, the N1 has numerous shortcomings (mostly software related) but the hardware has the potential to overcome these problems. Although I am not fully satisfied with the product yet, I'm confident that we will eventually see optimized software on the Nexus. Still the best phone I've ever owned (although my Nokia E61i was pretty damn sweet when it first came out).

Eclair, how much of an improvement does rooting and flashing a custom ROM make in terms of smooth scrolling? Does the scrolling become as smooth as on the Magic? I'm in the process of getting a replacement phone right now, so I can't try it out for myself..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
On Cyanogen Mod it became quite smooth, can't remember how exactly since I flashed the Desire ROM.. and lemme tell you now THAT is smooth. Really HTC knows there stuff it seems, I'm a very graphically conscious person - which is probably why I adore Apple's UI stylings a tad more than Android's, and without Sense I just don't know :l
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
Answer to first question: If you actually read what I had said, I was saying that I was in the center of London, about A half a mile from the BT tower and I was still struggling to get gmaps and internet to work without a longish wait and also I mentioned that my previous Tytn 2 didn't have these issues(I know windows mobile sucks, don't start ranting about that. I'm using it to compare signal strength)

Answer to the 2nd: Again if you bothered to read instead of getting all sensitive, I had said that I have no interest in Iphone. I don't want to have to sell my phone I just want it to work properly.

I'm not listing all my reasons again why I'm being shafted it was clearly pointed out I'm my previous posts

Paul2000 you are exactly the sort of person that I'm talking about. You are as bad as a Iphone fanboy. You cannot except that there is anything wrong with your phone. You take any Nexus One criticism as a personal attack. The fact that you have rooted and installed HTC Sense in your phone proves that the handset is far from perfect. Take your head out of the sand and admit that the "superphone" isn't quite what it was made out to be. Also try reading posts it will save people having to repeat themselves.

All I wanted is for Google to address these aforementioned issues and make the "superphone" they promised
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
Definitely with you on the Sense UI having an aesthetic advantage over stock (that might change once some really nice themes for CM are developed). I loved CursorSense for the Magic, best ROM for that device imo. One thing though is that I love the 3D launcher, so I think Desire ROM+Helix Launcher 2 might be a winning combo.

I just hope it's not too unstable, guess I won't know until I try
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I just tested it because of that comment, which you probably wanted someone to do.. and yes, Helix Launcher 2 works perfectly with any Desire ROM (well, I would assume since it works with King's). Though, without the Sense widgets - it may be a little pointless..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resinous:
wait so when people bought this phone they think because they had to pay $600.00 they were going to get the best phone evarr? lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
If I was lucky and my phone worked I wouldn't have any regrets. But the auto brightness not working, an ugly purplish hue, erratic touch screen behavior and a possible dead pixel has forced me to return the phone for repair. I was promised an email with a shipping label in 24hrs - of which I never received...

So if the phone is repaired and does not have these issues (and no new issues) then I will be happy with no regrets.

But right now? Yes I regret buying this phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
Umm, it is the best phone ever.

Lolz
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonanthebarbarianTP2:
Totally agree with you man! I an proud to be the only one in my crew who owns this phone. Simply because I could afford it at the time of release. And EVERYONE I know is envious! Love my N1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentkalaw:
I guess 'regret' needs to be taken as a relative term.

I just switched over from my G1 to a mint N1 with King's desire rom. how much did this cost me? roughly 200 bucks. don't ask how (no, it's not subsidized by tmobile) . So, do I regret purchasing this phone. hell no. maybe if i had gotten it for 600 and kept it unrooted, yeah. but for how much it cost me and its performance when rooted, I'm extremely happy. My only concerns are warranty issues. but I had those same concerns on my G1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souljas:
Does anyone think that the Desire may eventually be supported more by the devs than the N1?

Here's what I think - Although the N1 is a great phone, the Desire being carrier released will probably outsell the N1 worldwide. For example, in the UK if you go onto almost any mobile phone website the Desire is on the front page.

Further, I know this has already been discussed in this thread, but it appears that the dev support is slowing down a little...

I actually don't own either, but have a G1 which had/still has an awesome dev support. I am still waiting for a little to see which one I think will have the most support, because since the G1 my phone has become more like a hobby rather than my previous phones :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
Awesome thanks for checking that out. I completely forgot that Helix wouldn't be able to run the Sense widgets.. Who knows, I may not need them, right now I'm using TweetCaster widget for Twitter, Beautiful Home Widget for the block/weather, and Calendar Pad widget. The twitter widget is the only one I would prefer over the ones I already have
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resinous:
I know right

like totally.

love my nexus 1 xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brajin:
I have been with android since day 1. I had a G1 on my door step two days before the official release date and loved that phone every day I used it. It was a game changer in the phone market which cultivated in the development of the Nexus One. I absolutely love this phone, I got when it first came out and don't regret the 530 bucs I spent. The development of this phone is actually growing at a much fast pace than the G1's did since devs like Cyanogen, Enom, Paul O'brien ......etc build their chops with their G1 and Magics. Plus I love the fact I am the only one I know that has a nexus and the fact that I have to tell people what it is when they ask me if its an Iphone lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masse1369:
"Is that an iPhone?"

It's what the new iPhone is going to be is what I say... lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masse1369:
Double post...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorwhopkins:
ya i get the is that an iphone comment just about every other day lol.

i enjoy saying no, thats everyone else you know.

i am liking the way this thread turned out. i was dissappointed at the (expected) first responders negativity, but it seems there are alot of rational people here lol. what seems to be the summary of all this is:

-our phone is still great

-customer support through google.com/phone was a stupid idea

-our phone has a few, mostly small, but easily noticable and documented problems centering around the fact that half the official specs are "wrong",

ie: resolution, available ram, color saturation, and small software problems.

-the concensus is also that most these problems could be patched with an update, and also that our phone is still great. no phone is perfect, but our phones imperfections are well documented because of all the hype. honestly I thought android was a little unpolished before I bought the phone anyways.

-there are many loyal fans, and many extremely rabid fanboys, of the n1 that still think the phone is one of the best experiences we've had on a phone. it surely is for me.

-many of us loyal fans may end up loyal fans of the next comparable phone if GOOGLE DOESN'T SHOW US SOME LOVE AND ATTENTION. Otherwise Google Experience isn't going to get the exact feeling marketing was looking for, lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resinous:
considering the incredible is capable of 40gb of space I do have regret now, lol. that alone rapes my poor buggy nexus one. I'll still put up with my N1 though because I dont have any other choice, that and the development for this phone is great. there will always be a better phone so it's not really buyer's remorse I just won't let myself become a fanboy or be totally deluded >:D.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the nexus one can have up to 32 gb memory card, so I don't see much difference of the incredible having 40 gb.

Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resinous:
true but 8gb of internal memory is a big difference.I have like 25mb left on my N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aoch88:
I've used iPhone 3G, 3GS, HTC HD2 and currently Nexus One. The current iPhone might be on par or loses down to the Nexus One but I'm sure the new iPhone 4G is going to beat it. That being said, I'm very much ready to switch back to iPhone when the new one comes around :)

I still feel that the accuracy, battery life and interface better on the iPhone than the N1. My personal opinion though :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
You have to realize that the internal 8gb of storage is for pics, vids, and music etc. Apps are still limited to the 512mb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sousafrui:
do i regret? hell no! even if it cost me almost 700 € i do believe it was well expended. and after flash gets release it would be best choice at the time, giving iphone a good kick in the ass. though a ad some battery issues wich I'm resolving acquiring a spare battery. i believe if you root the phone you can get moro better battery life time using some more options you can't access in a stock phone. BUT YES, NO REGRETS
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
I have a question. As of right now, what would be some reason as to why somebody might get a nexus one over the htc desire?

Aside from that person disliking sense ui, i can't think of anything else.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
other than personal preference, there's no reason really. i personally think the nexus one looks better than the desire, and i actually like the trackball over the optical pad. something about its analog vs digital scrolling lmao.

also noise cancelling mic is on the nexus, but the desire is missing this. etc
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al3k:
When i bought my nexus one I was considering the desire for days, then i figured the Nexus one best argument is that you will get android updates first, i heard so much complaining about htc phones running older versions of android.

And the nexus one have oem unlock :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
I agree with the two posters before me, yes the N1 will get updates sooner than the desire, it also has extra mic for noise cancellation which the desire wont have. And I think one if the biggest thing is that Cyanogen, Enomther and all the other top named devs are currently concentrating on the N1 so expect more from the N1. The N1 can also run sense ui ROM if you are rooted. But there's no telling when a dev makes an N1 ROM for the desire. So more options I guess.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
By the way. No 3G update coming:

Nexus one is AMAZING.

I love my Nexus One. Now with android 3.0 in the air ill never put it down again. XD. I have never experienced any problems with my N1. I got it in Feb, instead of Jan, like most people.

I got it and put a Screen Protector on it and a Gelcase on it immediately and have never had a problem since. I have also never experienced 3g issues. I live in Dallas and have perfect reception with it on T-Mobile. I also work for T-Mobile and have handled MANY phones, and this one is by far my favorite. Especially over the HD2. But thats for a whole new thread...

Nexus one is amazing. No Regrets.
