using rogers in edmonton.. signal is considerably worse than my old blackberry 9700.. but only slightly worse than an iphone 3g.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariq:
Hi Folks ,

I really appreciate all of you for your feedback and advise.I hope that more peoples will share their experience here.One thing I would also like to share is that I am using home rom and did not go for bootloader unlocking and on my phone problem I have is with the cellular signal.my data signal is always on 3g as I am in city of Calgary.My son got his nexus one bootloader unlocked and installed ceynogen 5.06 rom installed I used his phone aslo for a day and only difference I noticed is that it shows "H" when u do browsing on data and otherwise is stay 3g.but with home it always show " 3G " sign and never to to "H" .but when you check details of connection it tell you that it is connected HSDPA.

If anyone else noticed the same? or anyone else getting H sign with home rom?

your views/experience regarding Home vs Ceynogen rom are also appreciated.

I am still looking for the actual benifit of having ceynogen rom over home?as I did not see any difference.

Thanks once again

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maxxve:
There has been lots of interest over at Android Forums for an app that adds increased functionality to the optical button on the bottom of the Incredible.

App Fuctions:

While sleeping/locked

-Use button to wake the phone when sleeping (mimic power button)

While Awake (choose your setting)

-Button jumps to home screen

-Button brings up programs

-Button opens notifications drop-down

-Any other ideas?

Possibly could add additional function with a double press of the button as well.

I'm not a developer, so I really don't know how difficult something like this is. I just spent the last several hours creating sample apps and reading through the android developers website, but I'm not seeing anything on hardware button mapping.

Is anyone else interested in something like this? Or can anybody more familiar with the code chime in to what steps to take. I don't mind doing the leg work.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blue_rocket:
bump, would love to see something like this as well!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SoCalMiles:
+1 on waking up the phone...something like this would probably require root though.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maxxve:
That's what I was kind of afraid of. Hopefully somebody will know more.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Therev29:
would love to see the trackpad run a virtual mouse (arrow cursor)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] daftlush:
"myLock" already wakes up the phone. I know the dev uses a dInc... so if you email him ideas and he can do it, he probably will.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] w1retap:
I'll tell you what would be most useful.

Instead of holding down the power button for 5 seconds to bring up the power/sound settings menu, make the optical button do that instantly.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] maxxve:
That would be very useful. It seems like there is a laundry list of things that the button could be used for and it's extremely under utilized.

I pretty much gave up on developing the app myself because I couldn't figure out how to wake the phone with only the power and optical button.

Looks like we have to wait and hope a developer sees the interest and can help out.

I'd hate to bother them with such a small request when they are working hard on rooting our incredibles.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bbfunnyman:
Increase Sensitivity?

I haven't seen anyone ask, but the one thing I really want from the Trackpad, is to turn up the sensitivity level, like one can do on a BB, (They have 10 dif levels for vertical and horizontal)

Why HTC didn't make this an option is beyond me, my trackpad is not nearly fast enough for me to utilize right now.

I have used it only 3 times to choose page numbers on forums/tightly spaced links so far.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] OrionSX:
That's really what the trackball is for... slow scrolling, with high precision. Personally, I hated how the End button on my Hero was also my Screen Toggle, but then again I came from WinMo where all HTC phones I owned had a dedicated power button. Call me weird, I just prefer it that way. And I don't really want the sensor-button to wake up the device; its not an iPhone. I think it distinguishes the devices, and besides, Apple is already suing HTC for a buncha crap (HTC is suing back, hurray!) and the last thing we need is for them to pull a bogus patent about the "Center analog input button waking up device."

Buuuut I do agree with maybe adding some sensitivity settings, as some games would be impossible to play with this optical sensor at its current sensitivity. Also, maybe a long press to open a custom menu, but not the sound/power menu as that would be redundant.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Lw00d:
+1 for a app.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jGroves:
+1 on the app as well. A lot I'd these features would be very useful.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] P_6:
+1 on any app that gives us control over all of our buttons ala AEButton for WinMo... That's really the only thing I miss from my Omnia. Short, Long, Double, Triple presses, all for different functions.

I know you need Root, but that's inevitable. Hopefully someone with the skill is motivated to create an app like this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] daniel.mitran:
+1 from me, would love to switch programs using the trackpad button
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jakeh0:
all great ideas OP

would love to see this implemented.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ufvj217:
I'd love to have this app as well!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Utopia73:
The only app i found that does anything with the trackpad is Widget Locker.

You can wake the screen with the trackpad and unlock it like you normally would.

And you get a nice new Android 2.2 lockscreen!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intothevoid:
did you do any backup restores ?. This happened to me as well and it was related to restoring backed up apps. Not sure which particular one was causing the problem tho. I am using MCR r14.

One option is to wipe everything and flash the rom again and don't run the backup restore if you did before.

(will be good idea to post this in the rom thread that you are using)

NOTE: Also the v2.07 doesn't seem to preview the picture files anymore either on newer roms. I reinstalled v2.06, and will just add the exception to the task manager, that seems to keep it from locking up too along with making sure your not on the storage card when closing...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KnightMAREcrow:
I have been using this app for quite some time. It's always the first app I download with fresh installs of ROMs or a new phone.

It displays information on almost all aspects of your phone including a battery charge plotter which might come in handy for many people.

I am not the creator of this, just someone who really enjoys the wealth of info available at any given moment about my phone.

BTW, this app is in beta and will be introduced as aa paid app, I believe.

They also make WebSharing, which is a great application.

Edit: Theres also the option to enable Active Monitoring which I use and leaves a small status bar icon which looks very nice.
[Desire General] waynefield:
Is there anyway that the LED display can be turned constantly on to let you know that you are in coverage area as with previous HTC phones? Also, is there any way that the LED display can indicate thet your bluetooth is connected?

if i order the phone on a friday, do you think i would get it on Saturday? I live in California. or if i order it early thursday i should be able to receive the phone by friday afternoon right?
[Nexus One General] prairiefire:
The distribution centre is in Northeast Indianapolis and the Courier is DHL. Might take two days depending on when you place your order in the day with Google and when that is relayed to their distribution centre. That lag took a day for me.
[Nexus One General] ihearttreo:
I live in California as well, I ordered mine a thursday morning at 7 or 8am and it came on friday. I dont know if fedex next day delivers on saturdays. On fedex's tracking for next day it say it'll be at your place by 3pm. This was my experiance. Hope this helps.
[Nexus One General] kevinf1990:
i see that the free overnight shipping is from fedex. is that just a limited time thing or has that been going on for a while now. also all the shipping options says fedex, how come some people get it from dhl

[Nexus One General] abstrucity:
Hi,

I got my nexus one about 2 weeks back and Im loving it.

I have not rooted it as yet, its stock.. and I had a few questions.

1] I would like to change the icons of status bar (SMS,MMS,Mail,Chat,Wifi) to these (attached pic of status bar)

Now, do I have to root my device to change the icons only (no transparent status bar) ? Also is it risky ? I mean If for whatever reasons an icon gets misplaced, will I have to reset and re-flash my device or something..

I went through most of the thread on meta-morphs but couldnt get the answer.

2] I want the widget with clock in this font along with location. (attached clock.jpg)

I can swear I had seen a screen shot having this as a widget.. cant find it though.. (Ive hunted the market and forums)

3] A music player widget in lock screen, to control music player (basically previous and next buttons) (ive again hunted but..)

4] app/hack to use some other button or combination of buttons instead of power button to wake-up phone from sleep (I think the sleep button is pretty flimsy)

Firmware-2.1-update1

My baseband v : 4.03.0021_2

Kernel : 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26 #1 (..phew)

Build no. ERE27

And a question about baseband ? Ive read version 4.04.. exists, But Im not getting the option to update.. What does the baseband version indicate exactly. How different is it from Firmware.. ?

thank you

You have to root to get these and they come from Morphs or Themes.

Beautiful Widgets on the market.

Not sure, don't use my phone for a music player.

Need Root for this too, there are apps/mods out there for this.

Most of these that are not officially released means you will not see them unless you root and get them that way, otherwise, stay stock and wait. :)

Hope this helps! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lancelot54:
First I want to say to all of you that I've succeed in connecting my HD2 with TomTom 7.918 with TomTom Home (now, I can access MapShare and update my map with all news corrections and download a lot of new content for my TT).

But I've got a problem. I've download new PI (radars) and I want that my TomTom plays an alert when I'm coming on a radar. The problem is that the alert works but without any sound.

I suppose that the problem is that my HD2 can't read *.OGG sound format.

How can I make it work ?

Thank for helping !

If anyone else could help, when I run the code in the terminal in order to flash the newer recovery image, it says that there isnt a recovery partition.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
This is how you do it. Put the recovery on the root of your SD (name it recovery.img for easiness and laziness) then eject the phone and run these commands:

adb shell
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
reboot recovery

Done.

Also, if you're having trouble wiping, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZeJZs2fdYo

Haha I will check out those wipes...

Anyways, im sorry for being a complete noob, but where do I input those commands. In command propmt? cause if so it doesnt work
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
In ADB. If it shows a $ sign after you type adb shell, then type su. That might be your problem.

I don't think he'll find a wm 6.5 rom from htc. He's got a touch pro, not a touch pro 2. The only wm 6.5 roms for touch pro are custom. There aren't any wm 6.5 official (if that's what you mean by untouched) roms released by HTC. I'd just look up one of the stripped builds such as timolol's link. His is made to be what he imagines an official HTC Touch Pro wm 6.5 rom would be like.

[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
Since the EVO has less physical buttons (Power, volume up and down), how will we able to move around in Recovery Mode? Will we just have to do things through the ADB shell on our computers?
[EVO 4G General] XAnimal:
Wow hadn't though of that.....
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
haha good question... volume buttons? idk...
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
There has to be some way...

How hard would it be to incorperate the touch buttons?
[EVO 4G General] clayginn:
Hard as the OS has not loaded yet. My guess is ADB. THE HD2 might be the same anyone know how it works.
[EVO 4G General] audscott:
hard reset

HD2 hard reset is done by holding up/down vol buttons and touching on button. Similarly, ROM screen is reached through a combination of hard buttons. Works very well on the HD2.
[EVO 4G General] XAnimal:
Yea thats fine but so far recovery has used the trackball to navigate the menus, how are we gonna do that
[EVO 4G General] michd43:
We're going to used the volume buttons. Recovery mode shouldn't be hard to use. The Evo has enough buttons to manage it.
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
In Android Recovery App

Or what if we made an app for within android so we tell it what to wipe, flash, and partition before we do it? Like CyanogenMOD's Updater app? It tells what the phone to flash so the user doesn't have to.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:

[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:

sorry, just don't understand a trackball on a touch screen phone.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I say trackball because that's what's being put on, i'm just saying I don't like not having the hardware input device is all. same with no hardware answer/hangup buttons.
[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:
I guess I'd have to agree

My Mogul probably has more buttons than any phone has and there are times I wish they all had short press and long press (although sometimes they get in the way) since I like the quickest, easiest access to everything.

Hell I was hoping they would morph an HD2 with a pS3 controller. My Mogul has buttons at the top which is pretty cool for games in landscape. Wouldn't it be nice to have an Evo with a joystick and d-pad at the top and bottom. Oh, and r1 and r2 and l1 and l2 on the sides.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Hey,

So you may have heard, uk users can now change from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com but now I'm having problems after having do so.

I keep getting errors saying gtalk can't sign in. I don't really use gtalk but it would be nice for it to actually work if I wanted to.

How do I change the main google account to @Gmail.com instead of @Googlemail.com without doing a software reset?
[Desire General] JTHM:
Hi Brummiesteven

There are 2 ways to change the details of your Google account on your phone.

1) Try this (taken from Sizzledcore.com):

Open Menu, and go to Settings.

Select Applications and then go to Manage Applications.

Look for the app “Google Apps” and tap it.

Now tap the “Clear data” button.

Now, in the Notifications (top of the screen) you will see a new notification.

Tap “Your account must be updated”.

Now enter your new Google account info.

Reboot your phone and you’re all done!

2) Change your Google password on a PC and reboot your phone, which should then ask you re-input your Google login details.
[Desire General] Raul Duke:
Have Google actually made the option available to change to gmail.com?

I know they released a statement saying you will be able to soon but I think you will need to change it somewhere online first before it will work on your phone.

I'm just guessing here by the way.
[Desire General] ferlinek:
Make soft reset, I had the same problem and it helped me.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Login to googlemail.com, settings > accounts. Next to your @googlemail.com there's a small link saying chance to @gmail.com?

After you've done so you get a free set of stickers :D
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
1) I don't have the Clear Data option fot google apps.

2) Didn't work, just asked me for my password again not for my signin :(
[Desire General] Raul Duke:
Sweet! Cheers
[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
Same. Seems the only option is to do a reset of the phone. I'll wait untill I've got an hour free as I'd need to install all my apps again. Don't need to worry about my contacts as those are all online.
[Desire General] jamieyates79:
I just ended up doing a reset of my phone after changing from Googlemail to Gmail. Pretty annoying as I now have to reinstall all my apps and re-link contacts to their Facebook / Twitter / Flickr accounts.

I was also hoping that this might have fixed the Picasa gallery syncing; it hasn't. The options just disappeared under the Google Account settings.
[Desire General] Raul Duke:
I changed mine to gmail.com but when I log into gmail on my PC it still says @googlemail.com

I still seem to be getting emails through on my Desire but now I get a warning every so often that Google Talk can't connect or something.

I don't even know what Google Talk is, I've never used it as far as I know.
[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
I had to change it twice on the pc before it actually took affect. Try that.

Google Talk is a google IM, however it has to be configured correctly or you wont be able to access the Market Place as I've heard they use the same login.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
You can just add the gmail addy as a 2nd account and untick the original googlemail account in the sync settings. :)

Works a treat without having to reset.
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
I had to change to @gmail.com twice, but then it stuck.
