[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymond77:
I am not a fan of Sense UI, and love vanilla Android.

With Froyo, I'm sure they have fixed the dodgy screen calibration too, as the capacitive buttons now respond when pressed in the "proper" place, as opposed to half a centimetre higher above the icon, which was the case before.

If you're not bothered by Sense, like the idea of having an FM radio, and are not interested in having the latest release of Android before everyone else, or custom ROMs, then I'd say go for the Desire.

Otherwise, Nexus all the way. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
1. Touch sensitive buttons are much better responsive on Froyo but still not perfect.

2. The speakers are fine. Noise cancellation is great. The inbuilt speaker on the back is pretty **** tho'.

3 & 4 as mentioned. Both model will suffer from this.

Want Desire ROM.. Paul got it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
I've never come across an unstable rom for the Nexus.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
From what I hear, people are also bricking their Desires when trying to unlock and root them. The Nexus One has built in support for unlocking, so no brick possibility at all unless you flash the wrong radio or interrupt the radio flash.

And you might only flash a radio every 6 months or so, if that much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
If there's a way to remove sense ui completely then I might consider the desire.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextavenger:
i like the sense ui and plan to run it. Which is the most stable version? Afaik, the recent roms are having issues with long text messages and other things.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmj1086:
The only thing that will make your decision is if you want Sense UI or not. That's something you can't use other peoples opinions about because some people hate it (me) and some people love it. I'd say use Sense UI and use a stock Android ROM and see which one you want. Also look at the pros and cons of each and see what features you want the most.

I'd say if you like Sense UI get the Desire. That's what its there for. Personally I love stock UI :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Nexus One = Froyo, will have to wait months to get it on Desire, and the same will happen when Gingerbread comes and every OS after that so pretty much there is no way I would ever take a Desire over the Nexus One considering they are essentially the same phone. I am considering swapping my Nexus for an EVO though LOL Will be hard to give up Froyo but that 4.3" screen is amazing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
True, though why anyone with a choice would choose a nexus one over a desire, then use an alpha release desire rom is beyond me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytngasman:
I love the trackball. I also had a hard time buying this phone. I came from a TYTN II. I read about the trackball, and people didnt understand why it would be put on the flagship Nexus One. Let me tell you I couldnt live without mine. I love the trackball notification light. I have changed the colors to reflect different things like g-mail, yahoo mail, text, missed call, and so forth. Very cool feature. I dont have to turn on screen to see if I missed anything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agovinoveritas:
It also it depends who are you as a consumer. The Desire has more ram, but chances are that unless you a geek you won't be able to tall the difference.

That said, the Nexus one is the premium geek phone. Both having Google backing it up (one of the main reasons I bought) and the strong community support. In fact that was another reason I went with the Nexus. However, the Desire seems to have less issues. Or at least ones that have yet to come to light.

For some reason, the Desire looks more sturdy to me? Anyone who actually had both in hand could correct me on that?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helfone:
u say the desire seems to have less issues. dont u think thats because u spend a lot more time on the n1 forums reading problems and such then u do on the desire forums...

just a though... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextavenger:
Well! I would since i can always easily go back to Stock Android maybe once the GUI is improved a lot maybe it might happen with Gingerbread and also the fact that i like the trackball over optical and the entire design of N1 is more appealing to me especially with Google branding on the back.

Are you sure Astro does samba ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum and new to the Dash3G. I just flashed to 3VOLUTION ROM. I am seeing that a few features are missing in the SMS Section, not just for this ROM, but in the Windows Mobile O/S Overall.

1. SMS Lock Code. It's pretty standard now in most normal phones. I saw it so weird that a Windows Mobile Smartphone did not have it. Is it possible to get one? Either by a Custom ROM or an Application?

2. Smileys. I raelly like to see that :) instead of : ). Is it possible to get this enabled some how.

Sorry if this has already been answered. I searched and found nothing.

Thanks!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] disgruntledjanitor:
The SMS threaded feature is ghetto and needs an overhaul. I spent the whole day looking for a plug in and software to get a SMS chat style interface. God damn touch screen phones. Most of the software is geared towards them!

Anyone know any SMS Chat that will give notifications?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmus:
So I just moved to a new apartment and haven't hooked up internet access yet. How realistic would it be for me to avoid getting the usual cable internet setup that people in my area normally get and just use an Evo as the network router for all my devices. My home network includes a few laptops, a desktop, a networked hard drive, and a few old cellphones that I use to connect via wifi to play music and browse internet. Does anyone have real world experience to share about how these types of setups have been working with the Evo's hotspot feature. And is it even possible for me to incorporate my networked hard drive into this kind of network as it is not wifi - only ethernet? How could I get it included? Sorry for such a noob question. I would love to stop giving my money to Time Warner and just have one phone/internet bill to pay.

Thanks,

cmus
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongsad:
Well that depends so much on the coverage of your area. If you don't get 4g coverage in your apartment you would be using 3g for all of your devices and that isn't going to cut it for most people. I mean it is fine for surfing the web but not for something like streaming or gaming. Plus your 3g signal could be week and you wouldn't get very good speeds period. You can check coverage maps but even then you won't know exactly until you test it out yourself....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewX2:
Definitely doable if you're not a gamer and assuming your signal is strong. Its the latency that kills it for you if you are a gamer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weedahoe:
One of the bigger Qs I wonder about is how hot will the device get when trying to supply other devices with 3g/4g.

I know my current WiMo will over heat when doing wmTorrents and I have to take the back cover off and sit it in front of my fan on my desk at work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frifox:
currently im using Touch Pro, and when i do wifi teathering the phone gets so hot that it shuts off charging after about 60mins, and then runs on battery power for another 20 mins or so... hopefully evo will handle the wifi-teather load better that this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdyace:
Haha I use to turn my touch pro face down and put a glass with ice water on top.

The cool condensation would keep it from overheating and thus ruining my fun.

Ah , the good ol' days. Can anyone tell me why the touch pro could do wifi tethering and not the Evo? Is it android fault or the fault of the phone????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmus:
hmm, so this does not sound good. Between possible overheating issues and latency this is not something that most people seem to be excited about doing?

How about the network itself. Does using the Evo as a hotspot allow my laptops to talk to each other via a LAN or does the Evo only share the internet connection with all the connected devices? For example, if I have a hard drive full of music on one computer, can I share that folder and stream it on a second computer if both computers are connected to the Evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
the evo can do wifi tethering, it's just $30 a month until we get it rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMUcane:
But can he use the phone too?

I'm considering the evo for this very purpose as well, but i am unclear as to whether I would be able to use the phone to make calls at the same time as i am using it as a hotspot. There seems to be a lot of varying opinions on this, does anyone know the real deal?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weedahoe:
With the over heating issues, again, that why I just pull the battery cover off and sit it on my desk in front of a small 4-5" fan and keep it cool. I have run it for hours that way before as I use wmTorrent.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KERKEDAGAIN:
as long as you're on a 4G connection it'll work simultaneously. There's a completely separate antenna(e) for 4g, while 3g is on the same antenna as voice calls causing it to drop to 2.5g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMUcane:
that was/is my fear.

if i understand your note correctly; if i am on 3g, i will not be able to use voice and data at the same time, thus rendering the hotspot ability much less useful. I was hoping to use this in my car while driving and get rid of my 3g card that i currently use
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Is the wifi radio in this phone wireless-N?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdyace:
No it is not. At least without root it isn't.

I did test it for a while on froyo, it did seem to lessen the axis swapping alot, but it still happened every once in a while....i dont believe the line snapping will ever get fixed, i think that is permanent considering the hardware, but i DO think eventually the swapping part can be resolved! :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I just tested it via "Multitouch Visible Test" and its not perfect yet. Maybe a little better. Sometimes axes cross correctly, sometimes not.

Dont see any impact in real world applications like photos or maps.

Just use pc campanion(its preinstalled to your sd card).

Hiya,

I use an app called Isyncr...

It copies an itunes playlist of your choice over to your sd card (and therefore mediascape)!!

mediascpae can only sync 20 tracks per playlist? if yes is there any way to increase this issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] IceBre4ker:
Try DoubleTwist, it's actually made for syncing itunes and android.

It also has other sync functions like:pictures,video,music,subscriptions and also has android marketplace.

(im apparently not allowed to post links :S, anyway just google and you will find it)
[XPERIA X10 General] giwrgos:
i used it but is transfering only the songs that are in playlist without the playlists
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
Engadget put up an article about an Android app which claims to sync with iTunes on Windows and OSX. It's free for a limited time while it's in beta it seems. It looks like a capable client. It's called DoubleTwist.

Edit: Missed IceBre4ker post. Oh boy. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] alitech:
interesting post.

After viewing the google I/O keynote and all the hoo haa about froyo, there is an over the air sync on froyo where you can actually play your media files on your home computer via your 3G or wifi. Is there an app for that right now?

Doubletwist and the like seem to only work when the USB is connected. The over the air streaming app would provide the ultimate music experience as my music collection is over 80 GB.

Froyo will take forever to be released for our device. A cooked rom might suffice, but until that time, an app would really help us out here.

"Application is not installed on your phone" after moving apps to SD on Froyo

hey guys,

first of all i searched the forum but didn't find anything like my problem :)

(i run Froyo on non-rooted Nexus One)

so, i moved several apps to SD using that ADB command to change default install location from internal memory to SD. everything worked and apps were running smoothly. then my battery went dead during the night and when i switched the phone on in the morning i see icons with green robot for all those apps moved to SD. and if i try running them i get "application is not installed on your phone" error message. thou apps are still on the SD. it seems that my phone erased the part of the data of those apps stored in the internal memory.. which sucks.

anyone faced such a problem so far? i wonder if it's possible to solve without reinstalling all the apps..

many thx in advance.

Cheers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slavag:
It happened on my phone too, just removed battery for few minutes.

Looks like a bug.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Forcing the apps to install to SD will break them. In order for applications to be successfully moved to the SD card in Froyo, they must have an appropriate flag set on them from the developer. If the application isn't updated with this flag, it will not work by default from the SD card.

The ADB command should work fine (I think) once all apps are updated, but until then it will just cause problems like what you're seeing.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumskins:
I set the installation location to SD via ADB and restored my apps via Titanium Backup. Here's what I found.

Apps will occasionly seem to have dissapeared (from App page + download page from the market) seems intermittent and seems to correct itself.

If you mount the SD card via USB then obviously your phone can't access the apps, after unmounting it takes a little time for the system to correct itself (my recommendation is to turn the screen off and on again).

Keep any widget app you are going to use on the phone's storage (i.e. install app, then move it back to phone via the 'applications' menu).

Shortcuts to apps will revert to a generic green/white robot icon, but they will still work (not when the SD card is mounted via usb though obviously).

Basically any application/live wallpapers or anything else that you expect to run live (constantly) should be moved to the phones memory.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wisefire:
This is how I've been using it, also when you reboot the phone, I give it a minute to calculate the applications on the SD card and load them into the phone memory. (Notice if you go to App settings while you can't access the application, they are all there and being "calculated."
[HD2 General] tibinet:
Is there any possibility to switch-off only the display not the device? Means, that the application remains running even the display is off. For example, NaviComputer can run and use the GPS without the battery consumptive display.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Use AEBPlus and map a key to "turn screen off" for example.
[HD2 General] tibinet:
Thank you, it really works! I am using AEbuttons for longer time but I´ve thought that this is just the same as the switching off the display by the HW button.

Hello

I am just wondering if there is any android 2.1 (ECLAIR) rom that is not modded? just basic features

Regards
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Android is open source.

Therefore the term "non-modded" really has no meaning.

Except in situations where some "file mover" gets their hands on a non-modded build and modifies it, i.e. "somedouche" takes an unmodified cyanogen build, like 5.0.7, and modifies it into "somedouchemod based on cyanogen 5.0.7".

Cyanogen started off like this, which is the reason for the "mod" in Cyanogenmod.

If you are looking for an OEM build (OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer, i.e. HTC in this case), then I'm afraid that there is none and likely will NEVER be one.

Which is one of the many reasons why open source is such a beautiful thing.

Odd issue....Running Smoked Glass and everythings been smooth as hell. then out of no where my SD card isn't available. YES, I have rebooted, popped out and in, same with battery. All no help. I get the "SD card is Damaged" and obviously not usable.

HOWEVER!!!

When tethered to pc and mounted...all the SD cards data is there on my pc. Unmount and the card is suddenly "damaged" again....so WTF?????

Yes things are backed up, but I want to figure this out to insure it doesn't happen again and to aid others.

Any clues?

Thanks........

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikipirs:
This happened to me a couple of days back. It happens when your phone is tethered to the PC and the SD card is mounted and then you just unplug the phone while the PC still tries to write something to the SD card.

Try to put the card into the card reader, go to My computer->right click on the SD's drive->Properties->Tools->Error-checking->Check now, and let the program check for errors. I haven't tried this, so it might not work.

If it doesn't work, then do what I did: make a backup of everything, format the card, error-check it again, and copy everything back (this is also a great opportunity for a little "spring cleaning" of the SD card :) ).

And remember to always use the "Safely remove" feature on your PC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shane0790:
There is also a thing on your phone in which you can have it unmount the SD card. Always do that when you're taking your phone off. I know it seems tedious, but thats why you're not supposed to just unplug your computer or yank a flash drive out.
