Yup they demoed a custom version. Still running the basic benchmark, but in a more graphical way so that it can really show the difference.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Aww. I wanted to run the one with the swimming Androids against my co-workers :D

([Edit]: Especially because most people probably don't understand the significance of what the test is doing.)

you can try the peacekeeper benchmark too.. thats pretty cool

its more of a real world test than just a java one.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
YES!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One General] dudebro:
thanks, this is cool.
[Nexus One General] lordshido:
lol i was looking for it last night too.... i found it on a tweet somewhere its kinda neat

There's a driver in another XDA thread that worked for me, in case anyone else needs one. I'm unable to post a link (new user here) but do a forum search for the title below and it's the first hit:

Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device Driver

From what I can tell, Vista/Win7 users may not need a driver at all. cheers
[TG01 Themes and Apps] xda_dev2063:
I hope I do not annoy you guys with my ... "Best ..." threads.

:rolleyes: However I really would like to know what is your favourite Mp3 player on the TG01 - I personally haven't found a lot good players besides HTC Media Player and Nitrogen!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] (InsertNameHere):
I second those 2
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gluonyc:
The best is pocket player (just use a skin for wvga - surch for it at xda)

much more options tna anyother, much better sound quallity (you don't need srs wow to simulate surround or bass boost)

it playes everything... and best of all, It works very well whit my bluetooth phones (witch, by the way, for it's price, I recomend - phillyps shb7110 - it can be used in the car also, and with any hi-fi or anyother apparatus with sound output) nitrogen doesn't work with the keys of forward or rewind of this phones.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Pere:
I agree: Pocket Player: It has hundreds of features!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] trident0815:
My favourite is S2P - it´s for sure not as overloaded with features as pocket player is - but with a few ticks you listen music. And it integrates well with S2U2 (at least when you use it).

Pocket Player hangs on my phone when it goes to sleep, or the playback stutters. Maybe there´s an option somewhere - but until now I didn´t found it.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gluonyc:
in pocket player go to options advanced and search under power. Theres something related to that problem of going to sleep... (if can't find say again and I will see, can't do it now)

s2p is good but the author left its developmnt in favor of only s2u2. it lacks somethings important - can't bind buttons and doens't work landscape... for instance
[TG01 Themes and Apps] trident0815:
Nevermind ... I wouldn´t use it anyway. And it has some problems with the 6.5.5 Button-Bar, at least the version I once had.

I don´t use landscape on my phone, but for what you want to bind buttons? Switching songs? I do this with my BT-Headset, so it´s enough for me. The only thing I miss is the album scrolling from the earlier releases, but from time to time there are updates for S2P - so I haven´t stop hoping it will come back some day :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaUub:
Has anyone figured out a solution for the faulty power button? It is killing me i can't wake my phone sometimes and now that i have Froyo i get no blue light notification so my reply to peoples text messages are VERY slow.

Has anyone worked out exactly why these power buttons are dying? Mine's dead as a doornail too :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm0is3sx:
this is pretty funny to me cuz mine was not working in the morning anyways i THINK it has to do with some dust collecting on it (like the trackball) i blew on it a lil and it started working again also i read somewhere else about a wire that has a 90 degree angle so you might try pushing the power button forward then down
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elio:
This is certainly the most annoying issue on Nexus one...

I use a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to enable trackball wake and turning off via home screen. And when I need to reboot I use the "plug-remove battery-replace battery" trick...

If someone has better solutions, we'll be glad to hear them, since it seems that this problem will eventually hit all Nexus one users.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
I use fancy widget - In the clock settings, I selected application when clock pressed (lock enabler app). This solves the locking problem without pressing the power.

Use the usual trackball wake as the unlocker.

Thank You.

I have the same problem.Is it hardware or software issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasi:
I used the call Google and get a warranty replacement trick :p

Seriously, just call and get it replaced under warranty, that's the only real fix. They are aware of the problem. My phone is rooted, I didn't mention that, and they didn't have a problem with it, and I got my replacement within a few days.

Now that they've stopped selling them, it may not be as easy, but worth a try.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cofor:
This is a serious issue for people outside countries that sell the nexus one.

I live in brazil and I hope this problem doesn't appear to me because it's cheaper to try to fix it than travel to usa.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elio:
As mentioned above, for people outside the US, replacement of the device is not an easy task; and even for those who get a replacement, the problem will eventually recur, since it seems obvious now that this is a hardware issue.

As for how to reboot the device: plug it to the charger (usb or main), wait for the orange led to turn on, remove the battery, as soon as the led will turn off replace the battery and the phone will boot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peliROJO:
I've had two bad power buttons, they were a hardware issue replaced under warranty.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pubmsu:
Does anyone have any experience of getting a replacement from HTC in Singapore for this power button failure issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaudio_t:
I bought my phone in the Google Online Store on my last vacations in US, I live in Mexico and call to HTC for the warranty but theres no solution outside US.

I use compressed air in the power button and works a little without the battery cover.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminsoyka:
I had exactly the same problem. then i read about it in the nexus one forum and some folks mentioned, that deinstalling the app "advanced task killer" solved their problem. i tried it and now my power button is back to normal and working like a charme!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrJB:
there is a program in the market to get it to wake from the trackball but I can't remember the name. I had the same problem and had to send it back to HTC and they fixed it for free. They told me there has numerous problems with the wake/power button.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paesan:
Put me in the broken power button club. After going through a few months of the power button acting up, well it finally quit working. The good news is I still have 3 weeks remaining on my 1 year warranty, the bad news is the N1 has an unlocked bootloader. I called HTC last night and they emailed me an overnight shipping label. I chose the repair option instead of replacement. I did not discuss the unlocked bootloader with them. Since this is a hardware issue I can't see why they would deny the repair.

BTW, that is a great link on how to get the phone to turn on, I kept trying all last night to get it to come on by pressing the power button. If they deny the repair I will have them send it back and try one of the alternatives to turning the phone on and off.

I am currently using the Evil desire rom, should I flash back to a stock rom before sending it back.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
haha my power button still work after a year.but it's acting up. Use the track ball to wake it up is fairly easy too
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizalmzain:
my power button start acting up after almost a year, any solution to fix it DIY style?

returning for warrantly is my last resort since i'm not in united states.

i think it would cost less to repair than return it for warranty
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Find a local phone repairer in your country who can fix htc desires. It will be the same part.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortzz:
I tried all the DIY fixes to no avail before I finally had to send mine in.

Hopefully it was replaced with a stouter part. Something that is going to go through hundreds and hundreds of cycles throughout its lifetime should NOT be that flimsy.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuberio:
Ok, after using Google, I came across this article and how it quoted from this forum the following:

..."the problem seems to stem from the fact that the power button is mounted on a small board attached to the larger upper board by a small ribbon cable with 2 or 3 trace wires embedded. this smaller board is then bent to 90 degrees from the larger board. every time you wake your phone this cable flexes slightly. eventually the traces in the cable fail , at first making the button flaky , then failing completely. there doesnt seem to be any easy fix for this as the ribbon cable is sandwiched between laminations of the upper board." - n1 bone head

So I went over to the Nexus One Teardown on ifixit.com to get some closer looks at the button, ribbon, and board in question. Here is the screen side of the board and Here is the battery side of the board.

Once you get to Step 5 of the Teardown on ifixit.com, you should be able to access both sides of the top circuit board as well as the button and alleged failed trace cable.

If the trace cable is the issue and it hasn't failed exactly at the point where it ends up between the board lamination, you may be able to cut, scape the insulation off, and solder-replace the failed trace cable with two wires.

******************************

Ok, while writing the above, I took a closer look at both the phone I have in my hand (still in one piece for now) and this teardown picture. Notice the following:

1 - the trace wire coming out of the tiny power button board shoots straight out.

2 - the phone is curved as well as the plastic power button head that pushes down on the actual button.

3 - if you press down on the side of the plastic power button head that closest to the volume keys, nothing will happen (but you'll still feel a springy-ness).

Thus, I postulate that the trace fails because the plastic power button head pushes down on the trace itself as well as the power button.

Based upon the above postulate, the failure point of the trace is most likely right where the trace enters the tiny power button circuit board. IFF this is the case, it may be possible to scrape the insulation off the trace just before this point and bypass the fault with some wire and solder.

For people who don't have a failed power button yet, I suggest only pressing the power button on the side closest to the audio jack (towards center of phone).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NPS_CA:
HTC Monkey's just told me today that my N1 is out of warranty and the REPLACEMENT handset they sent me to fix my power button once JUST yesterday went out of 90 day warranty. This sucks as the replacement unit has the SAME defect. I'm just as you did, going to repair it myself.

For certain this will be my LAST HTC device; will move to the Nexus S after this/e.g. rooted Samsung devices.

Out of 25+ phones over the last 15 years this is the ONLY phone I've had with the same button failure TWICE. HTC need to get their act together and not just repair these issues but CORRECT them on repaired units. Nokia was exceptional for that; they would even honor phones out of warranty for KNOWN mfg/design defects.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzitzu:
i fix this problem on nexus one , all you need is to not be closed mind actualy and a bit fine hand , with a normal solder iron and a very thin copper wire, from multi wire cables , usualy find everywhere , atached is the picture i marked with blue the ground part around the plug for orientation, and from the red marked pin of the plug the wire goes to power key , actualy power key puts ground to the red marked pin.

Have fun fixing it , i've already fix few pieces

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulriksl:
Thank you, I can confirm it works perfectly. I just used ground in top right corner where the screw goes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhodak:
repaired the flex / power button in my nexus one

Yes I did this too, no need to buy a new flex, or to take the phone to a repair shop. And now the power button is very responsive, better than it ever was. I also used the ground on the pad for the screw. I used fine magnet wire to solder the pin in the lower connector and held it against the flex using kapton tape. I Used a small regular soldering iron to do the job with a magnifying glass to see better. Thanks for posting the pinout information on the connector. That is the key for fixing this problem I made a video of the disassembly and reassembly. I can upload it to youtube if somebody wants to see it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Glad you got it fixed!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colins:
Hi tzitzu, could you please confirm again if the pin marked with red is the correct one? I checked and it is actually ground. thanks.

EDIT>>> the pin marked red is correct, my connection was shorted to ground somehow.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisk3n:
I would also like to see a video of this. My power button is starting to fail. :( thx!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisk3n:
Hi quick question about your diagram (or if someone else can answer)..

The red line in your diagram is power (10th from the right) so you solder a cable from there to the actual power button?

The blue is ground, but where is the point connecting? Is it from pin 6 to where? Thanks so much!! I want to get my phone fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colins:
Basically you just need to connect the pin marked RED and a ground point to the switch. The ground point can be from anywhere, I used the contact around the screw hole on the circuit board next to the switch.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisk3n:
Thanks for the responses guys. I had a friend who is great at soldering fix mine up. The button works like a charm!!! It's like having a new phone once again. The picture attached sure is deceiving because the actual points are extremely close. More pictures in case people need reference:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soskinner:
More detail?

Thanks for the pics! But I am about to attempt this and could really use more/ better pics.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisk3n:
I really dont recommend you doing this unless you have some serious soldering skills. The points are really REALLY close.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soskinner:
Soldering isn't a problem, I just cant tell from the pics where on the button to solder the wires. I would also like to see better tear down images. I dont want to break anything getting into it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmouton:
Thanks plisk3n for the additional pictures.

Regarding the initial disassembly, do you have to go to step 5 or step 9 of the iFixIt documentation.

From reading this thread several times, I thought we only need to solder 2 small wires to replace the failing flex between the button board and the board with the speaker phone, audio jack, etc. But seeing the picts provided it seems like you are putting the wires from the button to a very far end of the PCB where there are 2 connectors. Is that correct? This get me worried that the wires will touch something and cause shortcuts somewhere though.

As a few others said here, I would love to hear more and get more picts from people who successfully saved their phone.

Thanks

try shutting the phone down, pulling the card, put the card back in, and reboot. it should reestablish the directories

Hey...a couple browser issues:

1. Given my appreciation of Chrome I had reason to expect Froyo browser performance to live up to Google's 'fastest mobile browser ever claim'. I think its faster than 2.1 browser but not at all faster than Skyfire and other browsers in the Market. (Based on avg. time it takes to download certain sites).

2. Hey guys how can we experience the 'full glory of web pages if the browser uses mobile versions of sites?...Despite having desktop user chosen? Any tricks I need to be aware of?

thanks
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
Look up how skyfire works, that is why it renders pages faster, same with opera.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
Yeah well Opera fir sure....much poorer rendering of pages....

Skyfire not so sure....those pages are as sharp as stock.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
Opera. Mini and skyfire use outside servers to view the pages, tub rerender them for mobile. This is why nothing secure, I.e. banking should be done with them. Opera mobile,fennec, IE mobile, and Google (nexus one stock) browsers. Render within the phone. Not sure about steel though.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
Good info...didn't know.
[Nexus One General] y2whisper:
I believe on android skyfire, only uses servers for video, web is done on the same framework as the stock browser.
[Nexus One General] anstosa:
Type "about:debug" into the URL bar and hit "Go" on the keyboard [the arrow won't work]. Then go to settings > UAString [at the bottom] and change to Desktop. Unfortunately this isn't a permanent solution because it resets back to Android at the end of the session. For more convenient switching we're going to have to wait for CM6 and other Froyo based ROMs.
[Nexus One General] tomfreay:
Why would you want to use a desktop version of a site if there is a mobile version available, thats STUPID
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Probably because mobile versions are often lacking content.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
This is the dumbest comment ever made on a forum... I salute you ftw on that.... not to be rude but seriously ...

Desktop is way better. I hate mobile versions.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
STUPID....of Google to try and replicate mobile internet pages that render exactly like your deskstop. STUPID Google. Thanks....Ill settle for the mobile rendition.
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
This is true. SkyFire for Android only proxy's the Video content. They didn't take the time to build a full blown browser for Andoird. They bought the Steel Browser to work as the base of theirs and just changed it up for the video proxy.
[Nexus One General] tomfreay:
I don't get your post :confused:

But it is stupid to want to use a desktop version of a site on a mobile device, thats like trying to use Win 7 on your nexus!
[Nexus One General] Oletros:
The claim wasn't about rendering speed but for javascript performance
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
Mobile versions if websites miss content.

The few I saw before changing to desktop didn't allow pinch and zoom either.

In fact they couldn't be resized at all.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Think there is a few things you don't get...
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
And, I don't understand the speed complaint either.

The browser is amazingly fast.

The phone un general, absolutely rocks now.
[Nexus One General] tomfreay:
Like what?

I get that mobile versions may be missing content, but that just means that the developers of those site need to do their job better

What I don't get is how having a website specifically designed for type of device you are using is a bad thing?
[Nexus One General] Cranck:
If you Disable flash The browser is much faster!
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
Read my above post.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Seriously.
[Nexus One General] tomfreay:
I did, so

1) Mobile versions if websites miss content.

This is the most valid point, but not a failing of mobile versions but of their use, the mobile version of a site should have the same content as the full version

2) The few I saw before changing to desktop didn't allow pinch and zoom either. In fact they couldn't be resized at all.

Why would you need pinch to zoom on a mobile version? Pinch to Zoom is just an aid for viewing pages on a screen much smaller than the page was designed for. With a mobile version the formatting should mean you don't need to zoom at all
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
If the developers try to fit as much content in the mobile versions as possible, eventually they will be better off using the desktop versions. The truth is that mobile versions of websites will never have as much content as the full versions. That's the purpose of mobile sites - to be light-weighted and less data hungry. Many mobile developers including Google and Apple are trying to replicate the desktop experience to mobile users.

Would you use mobile versions of websites if you are on a desktop?
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I believe rockky was trying to be sarcastic.

EDIT: Sorry for double posting. I thought my posts get merged automatically.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
You're missing another point here guys.

If you're reporting as "desktop", you're messing up with that site's statistics, and the more "mobile" and "android" it will see there, the more the chance that website owner will cater to our needs and tastes.

I say pose as "desktop" only if necessary, don't just leave it on all the time. This feature is made for a reason.
