really?

I don't really look at the back. I have a silicon case anyway. the screen, CPU and speed are the high points. I really don't like how small it is, and slippery.

so long as a skin is on it its great. I have no complaints about the color scheme.

I love it. Best phone ever.

It's surprisingly durable too without any kind of protection unlike my iPhone was.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norazi:
i personally dont care too much for design (as long as its fairly compact) since i put a case on it

but if i wasnt using a case i actually like the hard edges of the HD2 and iphone 4G more
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You people focus too much on the colors. What the "design" is lacking, is a KEYBOARD.

Which is why I couldn't ever consider it to be a true "smartphone". More like a "stupidphone" since only little girls can actually type anything into it.

The only thing I hate about the design is where they have the microphone. for some reason whenever I am on a call i tend to cover it up unintentionally with my pinky.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlicious:
Hey, thanks for the replies; it's interesting to hear what people have to say about the phone design. It seems like the majority do appreciate the design, but I think I know why I am not a big fan of the looks of the phone.

I think the Nexus One is rightfully categorized as a high-end phone. However, the only aspect of the phone that I would categorize as aesthetically "high-end" would be the beautiful, large screen (IMO). Overall, it looks like a toy and it seems like the Nexus One design will not last very long (once again, IMO).

Although it does feel like it is solidly built with high-quality materials in the hands, the phone just looks very plastic and cheap (sorry!), especially in grey. Compared to other high-end BB, iPhone, or Nokia phones, which use more appealing materials (chrome, etc.), they just look far more professional/high-end in contrast to the Nexus One.

For example, I don't understand why there is a black plastic surrounding the trackball, in comparison to the Sprint HTC Hero (which used to be Sprint's flagship Android phone).

I still like it, but I just wish the phone looks better on my desk...

Did anybody managed to get Android running on C02?

These dual OS phones started to pop-up on Chinese sites. Couple of packages are floating around, but theses are not BIN or DIO files but image packages with allocation map. See the example of "fdesc.cnf" file from the package below. As much as I can understand from translation of (I assume) readme file - flash process is the same as with DIO, all files must be copied to the root of the card formatted as FAT16 and booted with volume keys power-up. My phone (T5358+) report no files found on the card to boot.

Is it possible that these dual boot phones have different SPL?

Is it possible to package them into BIN to flash with IDT?

Did you check these firmware versions: http://www.solonomi.com/rom/T5353/

I don't know if you model c02 is the correct one, so please verify before bricking your device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sipcipro:
I did with no luck.

Eer,

Yes I did, and few more packages with similar files inside. With button combination to boot from the card my phone can see and trying to load DIO files, but report no bootable files if FAT16 (as well as FAT 32) card with Android or dual system package extracted to the root . Same message, something like "no bootable files found".

And yes, my phone is C02 5358+ and I was able to load almost any firmware I can find for 5353, 5355 and 5358+. The last one though only older revision, before they changed display (around March this year). Newer firmware for 5358+ functional, but with inverted colors.

I also tried to load 5353 and 5355 firmware and boot Android, but looks like boot code staying the same. I'm guessing that 5358+ boot code somewhat different from other C02s.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] adaz007:
And What now? I can not find no dual-os ROM for T5358+. Can somebody write me link for this ROM (Dual-os, T5358+). Or ROM for t5353 is compatible with t5358+? Thank you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:
Resisted posting this in the Dev forum, but decided that since i'm not a Dev, It ought to stay in the Q&A for general discussion.

Could one really use this as a desktop PC running Android or is the HDMI connector doomed to a life of powerpoint presentations in corporate board rooms and showing phone-captured pics & video of the kids after vacation on the shiny HDTV?

Here's my logic, I want to be able to plug my evo into the USB/HDMI dock and have it function as a 'reasonable' machine for browsing the web and listening to music. We have root, so USB host, among other necessities shouldn't be an issue there.

Now, from the HDMI 1.4 spec, this thing ought to be capable of all of the following

Raw Bandwidth: 10.2 Gbit/s

Video: maximum resolution to 4K × 2K

Audio Formats: LPCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio, MPCM

Networking: HDMI Ethernet Channel, which allows for a 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection between the two HDMI connected devices;

Certainly, one would be dreaming to expect 4k x 2k video playback on this processor combination but what do you think about the HDMI Ethernet channel? With an extremely pervasive network in my home this is very interesting to me.

Maybe these features are too niche to ever actually work but the dream of a unified connector sure seems to be inching closer to reality.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexydes:
Posts like this really make me appreciate just how small a world the Internet has created. :)

I've been hoping for the EXACT same thing as you since the first time I used my first smartphone (HTC/AT&T 3125). I said...man, this is gonna be great, I can use this to replace both my iPod AND my Game Boy. Every smartphone since, I've done that with, and inched closer to the reality of a unified device. However, there has always been the physical limitation of the screen.

Now, however, all of these phones (running Android, of course) are coming with HDMI-out, which (I would think) gives us an avenue to the larger screen. What I'm basically hoping to do is replace most of what my netbook does, with my next smartphone (EVO? Streak?), and do it on a larger display, when it is available.

In a perfect world, I would hook my device into the dock (so that I have HDMI-out, charging, and stereo speakers), and then use either a BlueTooth mouse/keyboard (not sure if the BlueTooth stack supports this type of communication), a USB mouse/keyboard (2-to-1 USB adapter into phone, hacked USB driver to facilitate input direction communication), and/or using the phone's display as an input method.

A lot of people look at me sort of oddly when I describe this but...whatever. I've seen at least a few other posts on XDA asking about display-output for the EVO via HDMI, so...I know we're not alone! :)

Would this maybe be better to post in the dev forum, to give developers an idea of what us non-dev-users are looking for?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbobbers:
^Bump. Any others have input? Will post a link over in the Dev forums to see if there is anyone else like minded...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daringblaze:
Cyanogenmod has bluetooth hid working on the evo. I use my full size mouse and keyboard all the time but the screen is the only thing missing. They are pretty far along on being able to mirror the phone screen and I think scale it to 720p for hdtv output. If that's what you are looking for I assure you you are definitely not he only one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I could be wrong, but I don't think the mini HDMI on the evo supports 1.4 spec. Which means it cannot do internet connection over HDMI. I am going to bet it really doesn't meet 1.3 spec either. Like I said, I could be wrong.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powers16:
I think all you need is Htc sync installed to use the wired tether. I use the wireless tether just fine, you just have to experiment on which one works best for you. Try the 1.5 wireless tether.. Provided your hero is rooted.

Wired tether for root users won't work for us because a special driver needs to be in the kernel I think (at least from what I gather from the faq). Wireless 1.60 works great on zen my touch slide rom overclocked by the way. Those on fresh toast who have problems, try 2.01, it's meant for g1 with a new kernel built from toasts, so ya never know.

Hey guys,

my phone is telling me that my sd card is damaged and that I should repartition it. The only problem with this is that I don't want to lose all of my apps that are on my sd card. I tried to use mybackup but it said something about my sd card not being mounted(presumably because of the damage) so now I'm wondering if I would just copy everything from my ext partition onto my computer and then copy it back after I repartition. would that work fine? it seems like it should but I'm not exactly sure how android installs apps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sheldonjace:
That would only work if you were running some version of OSX or any Linux based software on your computer. Windows won't recognize the ext partition as a readable partition to just drag and drop files from...at least my Vista doesn't.

You can make a live CD of Ubuntu for free and boot your computer into that to perform the tasks you want to perform I believe. That or dual boot your computer. I use Ubuntu for all my partitioning and backing up of EXT data.

Which Hero ROM are you talking about? Your phone model, etc? I suggest you put your phone details in your sig like most people :)

As for the ROM, I am going to assume it's for 32B model. They are outdated, and you should probably look for better hero ROMs if you wish to use them. Go to the G1 Development section (if you have 32B Magic, then you can use most ROMs made for G1 as well) and find some recent ones.
