Been looking around alot for my first ANDROID device and thinking about getting the N1 but it seems the device has lotta issues.muti-touch problems,sms mms automatic deletion etc.....what do u guys think should i get it or not.if i flash the DESIRE rom will it fix all the issues the NEXUS has?thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hexix:
I really like mine but if you are on the fence I would suggest waiting for something better. The OLED screen, while offering great contrast in doors, has serious visibility issues out doors. Also the cheap touch sensor really does suck. I have to use difficult controller layouts in game emulators because the phone has trouble recognizing dual touches on the same axis.

If it wasnt for those two issues i would totally tell you to jump on board. But i think you should wait for something similar with a better touch sensor and an LCD or Super AMOLED.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GHOST99K:
yea it would be pain to play multi-touch games if the multi-touch actually doesnt work well.i did checked few videos of the nexus one reviews and cons,overall its a good phone but maybe i shouldn't give google the $530 unless they fix all the bugs.but what if i FLASH the DESIRE rom will it improve anything on the N1?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lineman78:
There is also the hardware problem with the 3G radio design(search youtube: Nexus 3G Problem)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
Yeah it has some minor issues, but the only one that actually bothers me is the crazy screen problem (which they promised to fix in 2.2), where you gotta turn the screen off and on to fix it. Which isn't a huge deal anyway.

If you're on verizon, and don't mind the design of Incredible, get that one. If not, then I say pick N1/Desire, they are pretty much the same (I prefer N1 because of the design and noise-cancelling mics).

Otherwise, doesn't matter which device you get, as long as it's android... this OS is freaking amazing, I swear.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkDvr:
There is no 3G problem with new N1s, it's been confirmed many times over.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wick12345:
love my N1 but the incred may be worth getting.. only 2 days away. I just don't like sense but since you are thinking of doing the desire rom then you must want sense and the incred is better than the desire in a few small ways.

also if you have time don't rule out the 4g evo... on sprint and verizon summer so the rumors have it.

I went with N1 because you get the android OS updates months before anyone else because it's 100% stock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GHOST99K:
thanks to all of u but UNFORTUNATELY im with US t-mobile so i have done all my research of upcoming gsm ANDROID for this year but nothing stands out but the nexus one.i have checked if the INCREDIBLE or the EVO was WORLDPHONE(cdma service with GSM sim slot like the touch pro 2 in sprint)but officially they not.its really sad for us gsm carrier users.so i guess i might take a chance at N1 because its better than the current phone im using(hd2).

I think it would be better to wait for Google I/O. That's just 3 weeks from now and many things could change then :-)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timothydonohue:
i love my N1, but i wouldn't rule out the incredible, if you are looking at phones. and, if you can hold out, the evo should be a rockstar.

the incredible does have a few hardware one-ups on the N1. i have never had a problem with my screen only being dual touch, because i don't game on it. the camera is supposedly better on the incredible too. otherwise, they're essentially the same phone. and, because i'm rooted with unlocked bootloader, i am able to put the desire's (basically the same as incredible) ROM on it. i don't care for sense though. i don't know that the unlock methods for the N1 will work on the incredible, which may mean that you are stuck with sense on that phone, like it or not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lineman78:
You can easily switch to the default android home on a stock sense ROM. All you have to do is go to sense in applications and clear defaults.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erebusting:
you guys make me think I should return my N1 .....

damn I try not to think how much I spent on it though, ridiculous...but at least it is not on a contract
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Honestly77:
Not on 2.1 sense thats stock. Thats only on flashed roms. I couldnt do it on my Incredible sooo...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lineman78:
That's interesting. I was able to do it with my hero. I am also able to do it with the fresh ROM, but Launcher2 could have been added and not included in the leaked Sprint ROM. I believe it was mentioned that the vanilla lock screen was in the leaked ROM, but broken. Since I do not plan on reverting to the sprint ROM, I will have to rely on some very patient person to let us know if this is true for the Hero too. Although Launcher2 runs so slow I could only imagine using it on an overclocked Hero.

Question about the 2.13 ROM base.... I've heard that HTC Messaging is improved, but scrolling is less responsive and call quality is poor. How does your ROM function in these areas?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwbr:
Messaging is improved and now has the protected inbox. Scrolling lag is fixed. Call quality should be fine for tmo-us but you are the only one that can tell me since I'm not on T-Mobile US. Would like to hear if things can be improved so give us your feedback on this one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] denraweb:
Hey does the signal always say "G"? I had Kumar rom on my phone and it was an awesome rom (looked stock but was very fast) but it always had "H" or "E", not "3G" and i want it to say "3G" since thats what I have. If I install this, will it do that?
[Liquid S100 General] JustinChase:
I read somewhere that only certain phones allow 3G speeds on AT&T, and the liquid wasn't one of the ones listed.

surely this can't be correct. Can anyone confirm an unlocked Liquid will work at 3G speeds on either AT&T or T-Mobile in the US?

Also, can anyone confirm if the FM radio receiver is working in the recent builds?

If not, can/will it ever be working; or is it a hardware/capability issue/problem?
[Liquid S100 General] [[ Cold ]]:
at&t uses 3g in 850/1900 Mhz ... liquid's got only 1900 so you may have 3g if you are in a 1900mhz zone, and be in gsm rest of the time.
[HD2 General] wheeliemonster:
Hi All,

Hopefully a quick one for some clever person out there...

Is there any way to change the amount the volume changes when you press the hardware volume keys? The default step change is quite large when you press the buttons but you can more minutely change it if you use your fingers on the on-screen slider...

Thanks.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
Most of the time when I press the native gallery app, its blank. I exit and press it again, still blank. Sometimes I have to reboot to get my folders to appear.

Sometimes I press the gallery app and my dropbox folder appears (or any other one of my folders), so i exit and press gallery app, after several tries my other 5 folders often show up. Other times its a different folder that shows up, maybe even a couple, but only about 33% of the time do i press my gallery app and have my folders show up on the first try

Do I have a defective device or is the stock Android 2.1 update 1 just not a stable operating system?

I havent read anything from Google regarding the gallery app other than that it uses lesser image quality than the older versions of the app. I like the 3d feel and the image movement in the gallery app, but id rather have the older version that let me look at my image/video folders. Since I have a stock Nexus, is there a way for me to remove the broken native gallery and install and older version? thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] eallan:
I've been having this happen fairly frequently with my stock N1 as well. Kind of annoying and i'm not sure what eventually makes the photos/music load. I usually exit, reload, or look through the camera app to find them.

install an app called SDrescan and if it happens again just run that app...the files should show up afterwards.
[HD2 General] brunswick:
Basically on my hd2 I had windows live set up (and was able to fully use hotmail, MyPhone, Marketplace with the same account). I then decided to change the hotmail address I was using for all these services, so I set up a new hotmail account and tried changing the settings for windows live on my hd2 (at this point I also changed the password for the original hotmail account).

When I tried to log into any of the services mentioned above using the new account, it came up with the following message:

"Either the user name or the password you entered is invalid. Please try again."

When I tried to log in using the old account the same message now appears!

I could try uninstalling Windows live, but then I wouldn't be able to download it again as marketplace won't allow me to log in!

I don't know whether this problem was caused by changing accounts or changing the password of the old account but I'm really really stuck right now.

Does anyone know of a cab version of windows live I could download which might fix it?

Also if this is the best method to fix the problem then how do I remove the old version on my phone?

Thanks so much for any help in advance..

Hi,

I installed VillainRom 5.3. All is great and ok but it's not ok when I try to use RSS from HTC News app (not widget...and anybody has that issue). I get FC everytime. Then I can't reset also autokiller app.

I was thinking to try a soft or hard reset. Do you think is a good idea? Can I do it also with a custom rom? How can I do it?

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00b001:
Hard reset; taking out the battery,

Soft reset; close app/whatever and open it again.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure this is what it is, "Hard" reset being, hardware. "Soft" reset being software...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ettore2379:
Yes, correct.

I made a hard reset and now I don't have anymore some apps of Villainrom I had before (3D Gallery, News and Weather, ecc..)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00b001:
That's extreamy odd.. You just took out the Battery and restarted the phone?

Did you;

Flash the rom,

restart,

install apps,

froze,

hard reset

- missing apps?

Try and reflash the ROM with this method, or backup a previous Nandroid backup,

Go into recovery, restart + hold down Home

Wipe everything

Flash Latest Radio

Restart

Flash ROM

Restart + let ROM load, this will take a while (Up to 20 mins)

Have a look at your new rom, but don't bother doing anythign (Setting ect..)

Restart

Now, when the ROM loads it will be quicker and you can use it normaly

After a few restarts it tends to get slighty quicker.

Have fun

Sometimes the touch screen is not responsive. I need to press screen at various places to get it work again.

Due to ROM bug or Hardware issue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PeterKP:
It may sound funny but my TD2 is the same and after few checks I found a way to fix it..... You must look at your display in an angle and you can see that in the center is a spot which is darker than the other display, after this you must suck a little right above the spot and everything is back to normal.... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cyberdroxxx:
use a duct tape to suck it:D

this might be caused by extra pressure was placed on the screen. I found out about this when I accidentally slept on my phone for a whole night
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MagicSpeller:
Hi.

As much as I like my Tilt 2, it's driving me crazy. Why? Because somebody decided to put the reset button underneath the back cover on a Windows Mobile phone!

Because of all the software I have installed, I find that I have to do frequent soft resets. When the OS is running, I can do this through software. If the OS freezes up, however, I have no choice but to remove the back and do a physical reset.

I am currently having major problems with Wunderradio causing frequent freezes and I'm afraid I'm going to wear out the back, snapping it off and on so often. Am I missing something? Can anyone tell me if there's another way?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
You didn't tell us wich rom you run. What you could try is this.

In this thread there are different options of soft resetting:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=585813

Or you can download quickmenu and set it to you're start button (the hardware one). If my sense freezes I can always get quickmenu to start and it has an option to soft reset

Basically it gives you four choices when pressing the power button: Sleep, Restart, Shutdown and Cancel. Look through the thread for several really nice skins.

These days I use the cab attached; it gives you a WiFi on/off shortcut and a Reset shortcut. It was made for Sense 2.5, but it might work anyway. No harm trying.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
I understand what you mean. I've found my device doesn't lock up as much so it hasn't been that big of a pain for me. But when the device first came out i read on some winmo news site about someone that drilled a hole in their case.

Here's one example that i just found from a quick google search. I'll probably do this pretty soon with my dremel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
I used a micro drill, and measured and drilled a hole in the case of mine. Looks like it came from the manufacturer, but I built scale models for years, so it was no big deal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
wow im gonna have to do that, i hate having to take my clear plastic case off, then the back off the phone, just to sr. never thought of drilling a small hole. last thing i woulda thought of is defacing a really nice looking (and expensive) phone. but this is gonna be a must-do for me. please post any tips or techniques that will help me and probly a few others from screwing it up (how to pinpoint exact hole location on back cover, how to avoid crappy lookin jagged hole, etc anything maybe learned thru doing it)

thanks for sharing!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darkic:
Me too... somebody post location on the side of the cover...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Tmo was smart enough to put the reset hole on the outside of the case on their version of the TP2...but forgot that on the HD2, and I miss that even more than I miss the hardware keyboard! :(

For those of you who are interested in drilling a hole in the side of your case to get access your reset button, I might suggest that you first mark the exact spot you need it drilled, and then take it down to your local hobby (model) shop...they will most likely have (or know) somebody that can drill you a nice clean precise hole exactly where you need it, if you slip them a little cash. As MustangBond (p51d007) mentioned above, model-builders will have both the tools and the expertiese to do this much quicker, easier, and with more professional-looking results than the average Joe could make happen ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MagicSpeller:
Solved...Thanks!

You're right. Guess I forgot where I was! :D I'm running the stock ROM for now; I have enough problems, without adding yet another variable.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. Of course, a hardware button is the obvious solution. I own a copy of AE Button Plus and actually had the PTT long press set to soft reset, but it wasn't working, and I'd forgotten about it. However, I'd downloaded Rhodium Keyboard Controller a while ago, so after reading the comments here I decided to give it a try. I now have a working soft reset without having to drill a hole in the back. (Yes, I had considered that. However, I'm NOT a model builder and it would be a big deal for me!)

Some of the suggested applications look very interesting as well, so I'll be looking into them.

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MooGoo:
For me the issue is even worse because I use a transparent plastic shell snapped onto the back and front of the device for protection. It is not all that easy to remove.

I just used Keyboard Controller to make the device soft reset upon triple clicking the power button.

Obviously does not work in all cases, but most of them.

There are ways to get the time into the taskbar but they are all kinda not so nice for me.

There is always the program name displyed wich i am in. But this is an information I dont care about bc I know where I am.

So a very nice place for the time would be this part of the taskbar.

If someone could write an app which will always overwrite the program name, I would be really thankful.
