I'm pretty sure you can't.

However, I bought one of these for the office and it works fine:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
You need to put the ROM Zip to your SD card so you are pretty stuck. Dunno if you can use Bluetooth tho'. Unless you live far off aome electronic store like Radioshack, a cable shouldn't rip our wallet clean for cash.

But in reality you don't need to be hooked up on the cable when rooting and backing up your current ROM for that matter.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I'm also pretty sure this is impossible. You need to run command prompt commands, etc. a computer just has to be available - if there is a way though, I would love to be educated.

A micro USB cable shouldn't cost that much I guess..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Recovery and rom can be flashed from sd so he would only need to pull his sd and transfer the recovery and rom to it then put it back in his phone. The root could be done from an su terminal but of course you cant use it till you root, not sure how you get around that one. I dont use rom manager but if I recall rightly you have to be rooted to use it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
You have to run fastboot oem unlock using a USB cable to root, you need wifi to transfer things to the SD card using 'Discovery' which is a pain because the UI doesn't work right yet with the Nexus or 2.1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Yeah, I think there is no way around the oem unlock without a cable.

As for transferring files over Wifi, check out this app:

Pretty awesome.

3ft USB cable $2.90 shipped.

these are what I use, they work great.

I use monoprice for anything that involves a cable... HDMI, usb cables, even my car charger. They have one for $1.16 that pulls out 1000 instead of 500 like most of the cheap ones out there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Again, can't oem unlock without USB

but you could always download the recovery straight to your phone, or just email it to yourself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schahr01:
As others have indicated, there's nothing special about the USB cable used by the N1 - It's a standard micro USB. I use my blackberry's micro USB as a backup cable at work.

Think about the other possibilities a USB cable gets you: The ability to charge your N1 using your computer! ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cramazin:
what you can do is some of the newest computers/laptops carry a micro adapter like this you can take out your sd card from your phone and place it here and follow the process for rooting im not sure if this would work but u can give it a try
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
You have to have fastboot CLI access to root, yes? I'm pretty sure this has been said before, but I'm 95% certain you MUST be connected via USB to root. I had to do this for both my Tilt and my Fuze, and I've toyed around with doing it on the N1 but haven't broken down and done it yet (don't want to lose the OTA updates lol), but it always required android sdk + phone in fastboot mode
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schahr01:
Right - Need the USB cable to perform the initial "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader so that custom roms and/or a superboot img can be flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ayereyrey:
I backedup wit PIM.

Did a hard reset on the phone and now PIM says invalid contacts when I try to restore.

Nothing I can do to save contacts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cubbump:
Backup your contacts

Can't help you this time, but..... Install Microsoft MyPhone so that next time you won't have to worry about it. It's a free program, mine backs up my info each night.

I really love it because I also have a WinMo phone my company supplies, I have MyPhone on it too and it automatically syncs my contacts with it.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Alright. I have been looking over some of the supposed fixes and features that are to come with 2.2. The thing is though, I have noticed that these things are already available on the Desire. Increased Ram, Flash 10.1, and a few other things. I know the Desire is running 2.1... but why does it seem to have the features 2.2 is said to bring? Has anyone else noticed this or found it a bit odd?
[Desire General] noobdeagle:
the desire doesn't have very good flash implementation 10.1 is suppose to bring flawless flash which could possibly be GPU accelerated at the moment. at the moment flash on the desire and legend is flash lite and is 100% software based (ie no acceleration)

more ram i assume means more available as in 2.2 has a smaller memory imprint add that and JIT compiler and we are in for a big performance boost on all current 2.1 devices (provided an update is supplied)
[Desire General] metamorph8:
the desire doesn't have flash 10.1, it has flash lite.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
What I am talking about with the Ram is that supposedly when 2.2 comes out, the phones that currently have 512mb of Ram will have 576, the same as the Desire has. The Desire also has FM radio, and some other things 2.2 is meant to bring. That's why I thought maybe there were some 2.2 features on the Desire now. Since the Desire already has some of these features, what will 2.2 mean for it? Does the Desire have the extra ram because of the kernal/rom it uses, or because it physically has the extra Ram? If it physically has the extra, does that mean 2.2 will increase the Ram on the Desire as well?
[Desire General] JupiterDroid:
If not supplied, we will hack it;)
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Say a phone running 2.1 , has 512mb of ram, not all of that ram is available as say 200mb is used by android 2.1,

the 2.2 basically means instead of using the 200mb that 2.1 uses, it will use 150mb, therefore freeing up 50mb of ram.
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
2.2 is also ment to have JIT (just in time), apparently apps will be 3x faster and use less battery
[Desire General] lambrospower:
i hope that htc release their sense quite soon after the froyo is out cause i LOVE it. i wonder why some people are trying to vanish it off their phones. i didn't find something that the stock android can do better than the sense does. anyway i just hope froyo to be ported to desire soon!!!
[Desire General] Whiterin:
I get that much, but I find it odd that the Desire has 576 while all the other new phone have 512, and with 2.2 the other phones are supposed to have the same amount of Ram as the Desire. Don't most of the new HTC phones have basically the same hardware and Android version? What it is about the Desire that makes it have more Ram then the other phones, and when 2.2 comes out, will the Desire also get a boost in Ram, or will it stay at 576?

Also, I may sound a little out of the loop here, but what exactly is JIT meant to do?

As for Sense UI. I really like some of the HTC Widgets, but I was looking forward to the new Drawer feature in 2.1 as well as the unlock screen... I love the Desire, and I am slowly getting used to the Launch bar at the bottom... but the lock screen on the Desire is awefull. I would really have preferred the normal 2.1 unlock screen. I know you can root it and change it, but I would rather not root my phone. I also know you can download Helix or whatever it is called and have the Drawer launcher, but my HTC Widgets don't work with it and Sense is still open in the background using up Ram.
[Desire General] tuatha:
I think you're getting a little bit confused here. RAM is the physical amount of memory the device has. The desire has 576MB on a chip. The Nexus One, for example, has 512MB, also on a chip.

No software update is going to change that. The only thing the software update can do is to make the RAM usage more efficient, meaning the device will have more available RAM, as mentioned above.

But they'll still have the exact same amount of total RAM as they did before the update.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
I know how Ram works. I am asking why is the amount of Ram on the Desire currently higher then other new phones. I mean the actual ram allotted and usable. Does the Desire physically have more Ram, or is there something about the Rom or Kernal version that is letting it have more usable memory? Seems like you're saying the actual physical RAM is higher. Which still leaves the question of whether or not the Desire will have more usable memory when 2.2 hits. From reading around on the internet, 2.2 is supposed to up the usable memory on some of the newer devices (Nexus One and possibly Incredible) because it is based off of a newer Kernal. So if the Desire has more physical memory then the other devices, and the new Kernal is able to free up more of it to be usable... it would be logical to assume that the Desire will get an increase of the usable memory. If there is something about the current Rom or Kernal on the Desire that allows for more usable memory, but it has the same amount of memory as say, the Nexus one... then they should be even when 2.2 hits. Which one of those will happen is what I am wondering if anyone knows.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Yes, it physically has more RAM than the Nexus One. A total of 576MB of physical RAM. So yes, it should logically follow that it will also have more available RAM after the update (provided both are running identical software versions).

But in all honesty, we don't even have a confirmed feature list for FroYo yet. It's 90% guess-work right now (albeit educated guesses).

Plus we don't know what HTC's updated Sense will be like or how much RAM it will require. It's completely impossible to answer that with any certainty.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Yeah, I have just seen a few places saying the Nexus One as well as other phones that currently have 512 RAM should have 576 available in 2.2. Like you said though, most of it is guess work, so hard to tell how accurate that is. Hopefully in 2.2 they will let you change the launch bar and the drawer to the 3D scrolling one. Also hope they change the lock screen. Anyways, thanks for the replies everyone.
[Desire General] tuatha:
I don't see how that's possible re: upping the N1's memory. Unless it already has 576MB of physical RAM, only 512MB of which is active. Which seems incredibly unlikely.

Unless somebody knows differently, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that whoever said that was either misinformed or a liar :p

I'm no expert though, so I could be wrong.
[Desire General] abc27:
That's impossible. The Nexus One was released with 512MB and no update will increase that amount.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Hmm, perhaps it was a mistake from whoever wrote the article then.
[Desire General] Ramedge:
is there a possibility that the nexus 1 does have a 576 chip in it? I understand on the spec sheet it says 512mb, but seeing how the desire and nexus are the same device packaged differently, it wouldn't surprise me if there is an extra 64mb of RAM not currently being used.

It would be great for some one who really knows to actually confirm that the nexus really only has 512mb inside.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Why would it not have 64mb less? It's not like the Desire has an actual extra mic. And it has an optical trackpad. There are differences, just like the RAM.

And most importantly, why wouldn't the specs say it has 64mb extra. And why not use those 64mb extra? It seems to me it would be quite stupid not to mention ánd use it when it's actually in the device.
[Desire General] abc27:
No it definitley only has 512MB of ram, why wouldn't they enable the extra 64MB? They are similar devices but by no means the exact same.
[Desire General] Ramedge:
Well Google/HTC are stupid then aren't they. they didn't mention the nexus ones FM radio capability, HTC forgot to mention the Desires wireless N radio. from a production point of view its easier to keep the PCBs the same with the same chips, peripherals like track pads and microphones are easy to add/remove.

it honestly wouldn't surprise me, from experience. this is why I want some one to really confirm this.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Wireless N was omitted due to limitations of Android 2.1. Apparently the chip has difficulty creating stable connections to N networks on the current software. It was removed from the N1 spec sheet when the limitation was discovered. The Desire uses the same chip, so naturally it's been disabled.

Lack of FM Radio is also, I believe, an Android limitation. I'm open to correction but I think the Desire uses a modified kernel to allow for this functionality (I'm sure somebody will know more about this than me though).

The point I'm making here, is that these weren't arbitrary omissions. There were reasons for them and they didn't forget anything.

There's absolutely no reason to have the extra RAM and to not mention it or not allow the system to make use of it. Besides which, plenty of people have checked out the N1's innards (that's how we know about the FM radio capabilities), and nobody has mentioned any other discrepancies in comparison with the spec sheet.
[Desire General] zaphyr:
So there is a wireless N chip in the Desire/N1 but it has only been disabled due to problems with kernel integration? Meaning it can be enabled again? I'm sure it's been disabled on the chip though.
[Desire General] tuatha:
I don't have the answer to that. I would hope it's only disabled in software, but I really don't know.
[Desire General] itayd:
There's a good possibility that the N1 already has 576mb RAM, and now Google will optimise it and unlock the remaining RAM - something HTC have already done on their own in the desire (to include FM radio and Flash Lite support)

I'll give you a perfect example. Remember the HD2? Well, it was advertised with 512mb RAM. Then, when the new T-Mobile US version came out - it had 576mb RAM!

After closer examination of the device, the superb people at XDA discovered that the 576mb on the T-Mobile US version is not a hardware enhancement, but rather a more compact version of the radio. Of course they imported that version to the original European HD2s and now they all can run with 576mb of ram (cooked ROM).

I think this is exactly what we have here. Our desire runs a special optimised HTC radio version which Google did not have on their N1, and now they will include that optimisation in the next release of Android - same thing with FM radio and Flash.

I think we won't get anything extra apart from that infamous JIT compiler (anyone cares to enlighten me what exactly this means?)
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Excellent information! Thanks! Also gives an example to answer one of my questions. I would also like to know exactly what benefits the JIT compiler will give.
[Desire General] crankshaft:
Also remeber the HTC Trinity. When that was released it didn't have GPS but a ROM update from HTC suddenly added it!
[Desire General] poldie:
Speed, mostly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation
[Desire General] jolpool:
also the HTC HD2 was said to have less ram than the USA version, but the addional RAM was able to be utilised through a software update.
[Desire General] HTC Dude:
I read the Desire was supplied with a more capable RAM chip so that it could deal with HTC Sense flawlessly, so the difference in capacity is actually physical not just logical.
[Desire General] bradavon:
Android 2.1 bought:

* Voice-to-text

* Multiple Exchange accounts support

HTC then went and removed them! You can get Voice-to-text back but Multiple Exchange accounts, you annoyingly have to use another App.

I'd love to know why HTC removed these? Lets hope HTC don't remove anything Android 2.2 brings!
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
I hope 2.2 will bring Apps2SD native and 720P video recording
[Desire General] Ramedge:
Great example! Part of me hopes the Nexus doesn't have 576mb Ram - it would be nice to think the desire is in some way better.

Will just have to wait and see what happens.
[Desire General] Aitese:
You must remember HTC is a MAJOR Windows Mobile licensee. They wouldn't want to completely cannibalise their own WM sales by offering a compelling alternative.

You have to also remember they are an international company selling their phones all over Europe and Asia. The speech to text feature was designed and works best in the US, the only place Google planned to mass sell the Nexus one, and so far the only phone to officially support it. It's not in HTC's interests to have speech to text, sell their phone in Italy and then have to take a million calls from irate Italians wondering when Italian would be supported.

As we have seen in these forums, especially with people wondering why HTC didn't put in the ability to install to SD, it's clear most users have no clue who makes Android and will waste HTC's time asking silly questions about the underlying OS that has little to nothing to do with HTC.
[Desire General] DJGibbon:
One thing which may have caused some confusion is that the Nexus was shipped with a kernel that didn't allow Android to access all of the available memory. That is, there was 512MB physically on the board, but not all of it could be used by the phone. The Desire has more physical memory on the board (576MB as opposed to 512MB) and uses a patched kernel to address the full amount.

Basically, there are three ways of talking about memory - physical, addressable, and usable. Physical is the amount built into the phone - nothing can change this short of opening it up and soldering some new chips in. Addressable is the amount that the operating system can actually talk to, and load both itself and applications into. Usable is what's left of the addressable space once the operating system has loaded itself.

Froyo will include a newer kernel version which will allow Nexii to address the full 512MB, thus increasing the addressable and hence usable memory of the phone. This won't benefit Desires at all. Froyo may also include efficiency savings - these won't affect the addressable memory on any phone, but should mean the OS takes up less space, and thus increase the usable memory on *all* phones.

Clear as mud ;)
[Desire General] Rusty!:
As I understand it, the Desire and Nexus have the same amount of memory, just the companies report it differently.

It's 512Mb + 64Mb baseband.
[Desire General] Damunix:
What is strange (for me) is the memory used by the kernel :

cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 407900 kB

It means that on the 576MB of RAM memory available (in hardware), 398MB are available in userland, and 178MB are use by the kernel...

Don't you think that this is too much ?
[Desire General] tuatha:
Probably because the Desire is the European model and voice-to-text hasn't been localised for the European market yet. If they released that across Europe it would basically be useless for non-English speakers.

And it seems to have problems with non-American accents generally. I find it has difficulty recognising my fairly neutral Irish accent.

I'm using the newest 2.07 alyousis.

I recently got a new pair of Meelectronics M9P's they have a mic. I was wondering if I could change double clicking the mic button from redialing the last number to activating voice search.

So for the only command I know is a double tap to redial, but I'd like a way to activate voice search.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cnonline:
I have a vista 64 bit computer/laptop and a windows xp laptop. When I connect my HTC magic w/ cyanogen mod 5.0.7 test 1 or test 2, to the XP laptop with USB cable and mount the sd card, it does perfectly. I can then copy files from the sd card to PC and visa-versa.

Now when I try to connect the same HTC magic w/ same ROM to the Vista laptop 64 bit with the same USB cable and mount the sd card. For couple of seconds it does nothing and then says in the notification bar of the HTC magic "Turn off uSB storage" + couple more seconds nothing and then "preparing the sd card". immediately after that the notification bar displays USB debugging connected and USB connected.

Not to mention I have Apps2sd on and have most apps on the sd card. And also the USB debugging is checked in the applications>>> development. I read about this on many forums but haven't got a correct answer. Trying out here as I think there are lot of geniuses packed in here. Can anyone help me out please....

Thank you in advance...

I went to Verizon to try and noticed that the new Droid Incredible does an absolutely amazing job at rendering text and pictures while zooming into webpages. The text are kept

VERY

smooth and the pictures are NOT pixelated

while

zooming.

Unlike the HD2, when you pinch to zoom on a particular text or picture, the zoomed-in text or picture remains choppy until you release your two fingers from the screen.

Is there a fix for this? In terms of hardware wise, it is so identical to the HD2 but why is there this problem?

Can anyone provide a fix?

I am using Opera 9.7, Btw.

Actually in wm6.5 u can create folders but in Htc mini you cannot.

The reason bieng HTC has embedded HTC Messaging app wihich handles the sms and it does not support folders.

You can disable that and go back to the default wm sms client(tmail.exe)but then your phone will hang a lot
