[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.

I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.

Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.

I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.

Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rensky:
Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.

Power button response also getting better.

I have stock n1 with same problem since froyo, it hasn't happened today and ive done nothing differently. Also I don't use a live wallpaper or a home replacement. I have been wondering if maybe an app was the underlying issue but I'm too lazy to install them one by one to find out. I figure the stable froyo will be along soon, but who's to say. I'm just worried if its bad for the phone, its definitely a little embarrassing at times but ill live...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurfHost:
I still got this problem.

Tried wiping multiple times, tried older radio and even FRF72 but my N1 still freezes in and after calls. It doesn't interrupt the call but the power button doesn't work and finally I have to pull the battery. Pretty embarrassing indeed. :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurfHost:
Testing with FRF83 atm.

EDIT: Have had multiple freezes today already with FRF83. Ordered a spare battery to see if thats going to solve the problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurfHost:
Still freezing with new battery and FRF85B.

EDIT: My problem is fixed after sending my (unlocked) N1 to HTC (UK). They replaced the proximity sensor under warranty and all is good. :) They also relocked it, the padlock is gone.

Hi all,

I've been using the HTC Tornado Noble for 4 years already, and I'm still loving it, particularly because what the device could do for me

http://karhoe.net/my-windows-mobile-smartphone-my-everything.html

I have been tempted with the availabilities of many new touch screen device on the market but one of the thing that is holding me back is because I am not used to the touch screen input.

I have played with many touch screen input devices, be it capacitive or resistive and I find that I could not text as fast as I could with my T9 keypad.

No touch screen (even with vibration feedback) could provide the tactile feeling that a real keypad can provide. Furthermore, the dictionary function and predictive text input of a WinMo device is just very responsive.

It's been a while since HTC release a smartphone, last I recalled was the HTC S740, is it really the case that smartphones would be obsolete soon?

Maybe the iPhone craze has caused HTC to dedicate its resources towards making touch screen devices.

Cheers
[General Topics] orb3000:

The Best Google Android Phone Yet

The HTC Hero is a gorgeous smartphone that takes the best of the two previous Google Android phones -- the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G -- and builds on them. It's certainly not perfect, but the HTC Hero is, so far, my favorite Android phone, without a doubt. And it's earned a spot on my list of the best smartphones available today.
[General Topics] karhoe:
But nevertheless, it's still a touch screen input device!
[General Topics] orb3000:
Smartphone=non touch screen - PPC=touch screen

Not Excalibur or Maple, both are non touch smartphones
[General Topics] ben_duder:
I actually think that HTC are going in the right direction with phones such as the Touch Pro2, which use a touchscreen for navigation and a qwerty keyboard for speedy typing - even faster than the alphanumeric layout used by normal phones.
[General Topics] karhoe:
The problem is there is still a niche for people who wants a real simple phone with PDA function, that's smartphone!

I would exceptionally prefer a candybar, no sliding mechanism, those ribbon are just thin and fragile

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
Hey guys.

Here's the interesting problem i have:

When i open google maps (and not only, this happens with the weather widget) it shows my location for a minute. After that minute it moves my position to my EXACT address in my home town that's 250 km (156 miles) away. After another minute it moves again to my current position and stays there.

To fix this i tried to look into my google profile/account settings and i don't have an address stored there. Even if i did, i would have never inserted the exact address, only the city. So its not related to this.

The next thing i did was to change my wireless network ssid because both wireless networks from home and current city have the same ssid. The assumption is that the phone stored the location of the wifi network once connected to it. That's fine, but why would it happen when the ssid of wifi network of my current location has been changed?

Factory resets don't help and this happens on 2.1 and 2.2 too.

Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD:

Hi,

Is anyone using "Extended Controls Widget"?

Did you find any issue with HTC Desire?

QR Code:
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Thanks, problem in HTC Desire are fixed ;)

Last Release: 3.1
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Nice for the Desire supports ... but I have couple of suggestions:

1. Configurable "Brightness" control for 3 steps only and user can specify how much brightness for each step (I want to use 10% brightness for the lowest setting, 20% is too much for me).

2. Controls that when pressed will execute choosen applications. This should work like a shortcut for application. It would be awesome to have this! For example: I have an app to activate certain "profile" and I want to launch it from the Extended Control widget.

This widget has a lot more potential. Think about my suggestions above :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] supasye:
why do these contorl widgets never come with mobile data widget?
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
This one has.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Thanks Gogol for your suggests!! We immediately working on ;)

@ supasye: there is the control called APN that switches the data network.
[Desire Themes and Apps] benko286:
Where to download, can't find it in market?!?
[Desire Themes and Apps] aslocum:
great widget, I only miss more configuration for brightness (too many steps for easy use) and auto brightness support
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Dammit Gogol, you find some really nice widgets :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] dingdong3000:

How about:

Dazzle Configurable Switcher

http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.hermit.dazzle
[Desire Themes and Apps] mountaineerndixie:
Just got Switch Pro. Handy widget.

Tried to get Extended Controls but got stuck on payment authorization and failed.

The functions and UI look almost identical fwiw.
[Desire Themes and Apps] albert_htc:
Does Extended Controls Widget support On / Off of cellular/mobile data ?

Or does it just take you to the setting page for this ?

Dazzle Configurable Switcher only take you to the setting page :(

^I've only found the stock widget able to do that.

[Desire Themes and Apps] H00pyFr00d:
I tried both and ended up going with Extended Controls Widget.

The only things I'd like to see in a future release are:

Turn off the widget's background. SwitchPro has this and it works well with dark wallpapers

Flashlight switch to turn on LED

Also if you remove a widget and try to add it, it sometimes gets confused and tells you you need to add a widget you're not currently using. Have to reinstall to get around that.

Aside from that it's great!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Gibbz1:
yes, would love to see...

* a transparency slider option

* some way to change the settings of the widget already onscreen? (a shortcut in the applications folder or something?)

* a way to arange the order of the widgets

other than that great, i bought it :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ruleamsterdam:
Main reason that i'll take Switchpro over anyhting else is that is has a 7 button widget iso just 5.
[Desire Themes and Apps] pwvandeursen:
really love this widget!

this that I would suggest for future versions:

transparent widget

ability to toggle wireless tether on froyo

Add the ability to switch to auto with backlighting

So far great app. def. worth the 79c!

[Desire Themes and Apps] The Professor:
Extended Controls will shove as many buttons into the widget you're building as you want to put in there. You could throw 11 buttons in there if you wanted to (and I have, for fun).
[Desire Themes and Apps] ruleamsterdam:
Really? Nice :-) In the same space as 4 regular icons, right? Then they really only need to add skins indeed! ( esp. transparent )

[Desire Themes and Apps] rumkokos:
Well... i just came across the idea about this type of widget .. and i came on here and i'm startled with the fact that it already exists what i needed. Theeeen i folowed your links and noticed its a payable app. I said oh well what the heck, i really need it its a great app, and i decide to buy this extended widget. Theeen i spend like 20 minutes on various websites looking for the purchase link where i can pay for the app to get it ...

And you wont belive it .. i ran on a free download link before i found the "Purchase" button that i was actually looking for. I dunno must be only me, coz i've seen a lot of ppl like downloading the app paying for it :p and i just couldnt find the purchase links... :S

Anyways getandroidstuff dot com has some nice (free) apps ;) (and no i dont own the website :D)

[Desire Themes and Apps] Ratmatix:
Wow, love the app! :D

Is there any way to edit widgets that are already in place or do you have to remove it and make a new one?

EDIT: After a little playing around, it seems the widget is a little bugged? The up/down arrow indicating whether the data network (APN) is enabled or disable is always the opposite to what APN on-off widget & APNDroid and Quick Settings show. =S Could you look into that please?

EDIT2: So it's not always the opposite. But it definitely doesn't agree with them a lot of the time.
[Desire Themes and Apps] m2te:
Extended Controls Widget is awesome. My best Android purchase yet.

[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
SwitchPro still has one main option I need it for... the data network enable/disable widget. It works. This app doesn't.

Also, the brightness percentage is not shown on the custom slider? That's one option keeping me from using it.

Reboot without root would be good. At the moment, both apps only offer this for root.

If the first 2 niggles are sorted, I won't need another widget app on my home screen. Thank you.

[Desire Themes and Apps] finkdix:
For anyone having this problem, make sure your data is on before adding the widget. The toggle modifies the name of the APN when set to off by adding 'extended controls' to the name thereby disabling the APN. Once you add the widget while data is on, you shouldn't have this problem. Unless, you also use other widgets to turn data on/off, but why would you use more than one widget?!

The problem I referenced is something other. Enable/disable mobile network widget has nothing to do with changing APN, it's a separate option that controls whether you want mobile data network on or off. Same as the stock widget can do without touching APN. Extended Controls can't do that and they claim only the stock widget can, which isn't correct.
