[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
I really love the general handiness of the device, its just endlessly capable:

hotspot, flash, RDC ,browser, navigation, maps, apps, media, camera, sturdiness, all the google apps, the customization...i just love the damn phone!

The only limit i can identify is my carrier TMobile (of course i love the price and cant complain because you get what you pay for and the 3g is very, very fast in my opinion), im in san antonio yet i only have 3g about 1/2 the time and data goes away totally in about 2/3 of the buildings/stores which i think is pretty unreasonable especially in a big, highly populated city.

The only thing i am disappointed with on the phone is the general touchscreen interaction; the scrolling, dragging, etc should be smoother but thats a relatively minor complaint. As great as the phone is right now i will definitely order the Nexus 2 on day one; better processor/ROM/RAM/camera/HD recording/resolution are more than just competitive as of now but by the end of the year ill probably be jealous of other Androids.

Looks like I did a really horrible job of just answering your question, sorry
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the screen. perfect size, like a mini tablet in your pocket for web browsing, and the amoled colors make it pleasing to the eyes compared to lcd screens.

or build quality and materials would be second answer.

i love it for beeing completely unmodified and vanilla android after owning a crippled HTC Android phone :)

Because its Googles baby, N1 owners get first dibs on anything new happening in Android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Kyle:
The way it sweats sexy. Its aluminum body. The usable camera. B-E-A-utiful AMOLED screen.

Only dislike is the trackball. Mine refuses to scroll left but works fine any other direction. :mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
The build.. I had a look at a Xperia that runs Android at work from a colleague, and i was stunned how it felt so lightweight and cheap built piece of plastic.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
Gotta agree with you there. I just hope there will be more phones in the future with vanilla android. I'm just tired of the whole rooting and flashing ROMs bit after having 100+ ROMs on my last WM phone, so no I just keep my N1 stock and I like it.

With Froyo I see no reason to root anymore and that's a good thing imo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
It is a dandy phone with everything on it, sometimes i will have a problem that needs to be solved, and can be solved by using my phone.

My rom flashing has stopped since i got froyo, but i know it will start up again once cyanyogenmod 6 comes out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulCayard:
AMOLED screen... I love it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] booloobunny:
I love my Nexus One's pouch case that came bundled with the phone. I am not a big fan of adding skins and layers to my phone. I am just looking for a pouch case where it is protected when in my pocket. Anyone know where I can get something like that? It doesn't have to be an official case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] huoyjii:
I got a HTC branded pouch case that fit my EVO perfectly from Sprint store. I believe it is 29.99 and if you have premier discount, it is ~$22. I love mine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Are you looking for a simple form-fitting pleather pouch or something that protects it a bit more perhaps? I can't help you w/the first but I've heard the Lowepro Tasca 20 will fit the EVO, may not be an exact fit but it's made of neoprene and it looks pretty nice if you're gonna toss the phone in a bag at any point...

I've got one I've used for my iPod touch in the past, fits a bit loosely, I can confirm whether it fits the EVO alright tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Accessories] booloobunny:
No something simple like you first said. I am okay with a simple pouch to just keep in my pocket. That Lowepro Tasca 20 seems decent. Basically the idea I am looking for.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Yeah, being from neoprene it's gonna be a bit thicker than something made out of a cheaper material but it also protects it a bit more... The top closes w/a simple metal clasp (again, that might add a bit more bulk than something w/o a clasp), I'll let ya know tomorrow how tight it is around the EVO. I hope UPS drops my EVO early!
[EVO 4G Accessories] surheeho:
Got a picture of this or a link?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
I didn't see any pouches whatsoever at my store... Just hard cases and silicon skins, haven't seen it online either, I'd be interested in pics of it as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] liquidkernel:
Ditto. Would love to see this pouch.

Stopped by my Sprint store yesterday and they were sold out. Sales guy actually told me they'll likely get new Evo's in before they get more of these leather cases in stock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] enragedpaza:
FYI I bought a leather case from verizon for the Droid, it fits the Evo 4g in nicely. But it's for coneecting to your belt. Maybe some Droid stuff will fit the Evo in?

try this maybe?

I just got it today. It's nice and snug. I like it.

Any other pouch suggestions? Or "socks" - my wife is in need of something for when she throws her Evo in her bag... The old ipod sock-type cases would be perfect..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiesofwinds:
After I installed froyo, every time i use my N1 to surf the net, it get hot and lose battery charge fast. I don't know it is normal or what but with eclair, it was never like that. Maybe it is a bug but i need some suggestion, should i just wait for google officially release froyo or should i call HTC to replace the phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
if they would even do it.... certainly does not sound normal at all.... can you just go back to 2.1 and see if it is ok?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
Dude, I'm so glad you posted that, I have been worried the whole week because I am having the same problem.

I started noticing it a few days ago, but didn't think it was important because it was a specially hot day here is Spain (we reached 38ºC during the afternoon) and imagined electronics would be affected too.

However, it continued during the next days. The antenna cover (where the letters "htc" are written gets mildly warm / extremely hot for no apparent reason, although surprisingly the battery is cool when removed. Last night the phone had a temperature of 40ºC after having been idle all evening and just using the browser for ten minutes.

I also think it can be because of Froyo, since I didn't have this problem before installing it. However, if it turns out it IS a hardware problem, what would happen? Would htc repair my phone, or replace it altogether? I've never had to send a phone back for repair so I wouldn't know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbizzle:
My nexus that I just bought last night gets a little warm near the bottom. If it hurts to touch it then it's "hot".

I think it's just that you're paying more attention to your phone now that you've modded it. Kinda like when you get a turbo kit installed on your car. You start paying more attention to it. You hear things you've never heard before. Wondering if the turbo kit is causing problems. When in all reality it's been making that noise before the kit you've just noticed it now. Hope that shed's some light on it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
The question is, it gets a little warm when you're doing what and after how long?

I've also considered the possibility that I'm just more aware now, but I really don't think that's the case. The phone is not boiling hot (as in, it hurts to touch it) but it's not something you would fail to notice either. If you grab it in an horizontal position, the heat definitely gives you an uncomfortable sensation.

I used to feel my phone getting hot after using the GPS for a long time, especially under the sun: but not it happens after browsing for 10 minutes at night, that's just ridiculous.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiesofwinds:
well i guess i wait until official froyo release and see what happen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deenn:
i too noticed this problem. especially the rapid battery draining during browsing jumps out to me. when idle or doing something else, battery life is normal. when the processor is intensively used, i believe the battery drains at a disproportional rate to other use.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolin:
stock 2.1 and mine gets pretty warm at the bottom of the back when using for extended period or when its charging. Been the case with most of the smartphones I have had so I just wrote it off as normal, even more normal as this is the thinest smartphone I've had. Coming from a Touch Pro2.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiesofwinds:
Yea, you just described my situation but when I turn my screen brightness to minimum, the rapid battery drain isn't so bad. The battery temperature stay around 97 to 98 F. I hope the official froyo release will fix all this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
Guys, I have installed the latest CM and the heat problem seems to have gone away. I have to keep checking but can you try and see if it works for you too?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
This is an issue with Froyo. it doesn't happen with eclair. anyways i noticed it to. The only time it gets hot is when the phone is in the charger and i'm playing with the phone.

Yes

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry.bishop72:
All right, can some one help me get my sd card installed properly! I got my new card, partitioned it, copied all the info from my old card to new and the apps aren't there, and the only way I can get everything back to normal is reinsert the old card and use nandroid. I guess I need step by step instructions! lol. any help would be appreciated!:D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
well i have really been interested in customizing the look of my nexus one lately and i have gotten a few things done, still in the learning stage if i say so myself. any who, i have been trying out these different home replacements. i cant seem to find HelixLauncher2 in the market so i went on the internet to get the apk file. i install it but get force close every time i try to boot it up. is something wrong? im on 2.2

also, i have seen what people have done with launcher pro and i like. my question is, can i change the middle home button (with all the little boxes) of launcherpro or ADW launcher (my two favorite launchers) or even helix launcher if i can get it to work. i have seen it done and i want to do this to my phone n since im new to this whole home replacement customization, can some one tell me how to replace this middle icon or point me to a tutorial? this would be really helpful to me :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
HL and HL2 use "private" APIs and are also not compiled for 2.2. Therefore, you'll get an FC-loop
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
You can change the middle icon in adw or launcher pro if you have the know how...it's easy, just look up adb stuff and learn to pull, push, and copy files.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
well i been lookin around for a bit and nothing. i read the noob article about adb but are there any instructions specifically set for the middle icon??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
Pull the apk, update the image files (use storage, no compression), push the apk, restart launcher. I won't go into signing, but some launchers may require it. Nandroid often.

[General Questions and Answers] Axilarry:
With the Evo, connected to my PC, selecting "Mount as disk drive," only the Micro SD card appears in Windows Explorer as a directory. I want and expect to see another directory for Internal Storage.

Had had the Incredible, where _both_ the SD card and Internal Storage appeared as two separate directories. I could see what was stored on ea.

I am under 300MB of memory of avail. space on the Internal - lots of posts about running out of app room in various forums - so curious what media and other data is there, what might be movable to SD card.

Got some further questions about how to copy data from an 8MB card to a 32MB card (just drag to PC and back?) as I just ordered one, and about how to tell certain apps where I want media recorded to (may simply not be an option w Camcorder and others), but mainly just want to understand how to view Internal storage from a directory on my PC when unit is docked. Thx!

[Liquid S100 General] magicdanw:
Hey y'all! This is my first post here! Wooooo!

I'm a student in the US stuck on an AT&T plan, and time and again AT&T has denied me a decent Android phone :( It looks like they might be coming out with something soon, the HTC Aria, but given the tiny tiny size, I'm kind of expecting it to be another dud like the Backflip, serving only to point more customers to the iPhone :(

Anyway, if the Aria doesn't pan out well, I can't afford an off-carrier HTC Desire or Nexus One, so I'm wondering if an Acer Liquid A1 would be a good purchase? I'd rather get the E, obviously, since it comes with more RAM and a stock 2.1 ROM, but that doesn't seem to be available in the States. The A1 looks pretty sweet, but I'm wondering how well it performs on the LCR ROMs? (By the way, am I understanding things right? Are all the custom ROMs around here that have E in the name referring to the device the ROM came from, and they all work on the A1?) Basically, is the device relatively snappy, modern-feeling? Is the battery life acceptable?

I guess...at this point in time, would any of you recommend a Liquid A1 for a geeky CS student to hack around with and also use as a primary cell phone? And is it the kind of thing that'll feel really cool for a first time smartphone owner, or is it already fading to the likes of the Nexus One?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOme:
Or something to lock the current photo app?

Thanks.

I just saw two in the market...sexting vault was one I think. Can't remember the other.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigSK225:
PhotoVault works good. You can hide individual pics, they wont show up in your stock gallery. Have to sign in w/ a password in the app to see the blocked pics....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fdot:
I recommend photovault "sextingvault" just sounds suspicious. Its the same app. But better name.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
The Easy way to hide photos is to mount the sdcard to your computer or use Astro or EStrongs File Explorer and just move all the photos you want hidden to another folder on the sdcard and name the folder .Whatever

Just put a Period . in front of the folder name and the Gallery app will not look for photo's in that folder so it hides them.

All you have to do is navigate to the folder with Astro etc and then view the photos from there.

This is how i hide photo's as most people are not going to go using a file explorer to go find photo's
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdub4nd:
Yeah, photo vault was the other. Go figure sextingvault was the one I remembred. Lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOme:

just thought it'd be nice to have it one place for reference.

you know,in a list form.:)
[EVO 4G General] booyakasha:
Just got mine this afternoon, here are my first impressions:

Pros:

-The screen is absolutely GORGEOUS, one of my biggest issues with past phones (came from the Hero) was the poor quality of the screen compared to, say, an iPhone. This screen blows it away. Its super crisp, very bright and absolutely massive. Its a true joy to browse the web, shoot pictures, watch videos and just plain interact. 10 minutes after I got it I jumped back on my Hero and was amazed at how I ever lasted the 6 months on it. :rolleyes:

-Picture quality (still photos), I thought was quite impressive for a phone, and the front facing camera is cool, however it may be a little gimmicky. My dad has an iPhone and I'm sure when the new one comes out he'll get it and I can see us using the cameras to catch up sometimes when I'm down at school, but you do feel kinda silly walking around with the phone in front of your face.

-The phone itself is rather large (obviously), but feels satisfyingly dense and has just the right amount of weight behind it. Feels great in the hand as well.

-The speed is also mindblowing. Everything just plain feels faster, probably because it is. What I found the most improved was navigating the Marketplace, which strangely always felt laggy to me on the Hero. Not anymore, the Evo is literally click-click-click-click DONE. VERY impressive. Text entry also seems very much improved.

Just like any device, it's not without its faults:

-The camera (video), I feel is a little unimpressive. Still it is a very good camera for a phone, it just doesn't pack that same WOW factor as the rest of the device.

-I'm a little worried how the lens itself will hold up, as many have mentioned, the back does rest right on the glass. This is easily fixed with a case though (which I hope to purchase soon).

-SenseUI is also not very appealing to me, I find it incredibly bland and in some sense (no pun intended) flat out ugly. I much prefer the stock Android home. I could also do without the Sprint Bloatware. Both will be addressed with the first custom 2.2 ROM :D

Things I can't address yet:

-The battery life: I received the phone with approximately 25-30% battery and wanted to run it all the way down before I recharged it fully. I was quite impressed at the lengths I had to go to to get it down to 0. I was watching a live stream on USTREAM, had wifi, gps, sync and bluetooth on, screen on full brightness, and was consistently bouncing back and forth between Google Earth, YouTube and web browsing. Even with all of this, it took 3-4 hours to run down completely. Not bad at all for extremely heavy use

-4G, unfortunately Indy isn't scheduled for 4G until 2012. I should be making a trip up to Chicago soon though and can comment further if requested. There are a ton of people who are in 4G areas who can comment on 4G speeds though.

Anything specific just ask, I'd be glad to address any questions you, or anyone, may have.
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
You know if you go to settings>applications>manage applications>HTC sense> and scroll down and click clear defaults, you take off sense.

As soon as you click home it will give you an option for sense or launcher (stock android) and then click automatically choose this option and it will keep whichever you like for default.

However the black notification bar, dialer, and lock screen will all be sense as well. And you cannot have the HTC widgets.
[EVO 4G General] 1wingangel:
I've been to the sprint store and had a chance to play w/ one.

everything seems awesome, except it felt a little jerky,not smooth like the Hero/Eris.

And I noticed a little bit of glitch when going from the camera to home screen too fast. as Sprint has the best plan, I kinda have to go with them.

I just don't wanna think that HTC/Sprint would fudge things up to be cheap. I mean where's the AMOLED love? all in all, I'm sure I'm going to love this phone.:D
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
Here's to hoping the jerkiness you experienced is attributed to early software on the device(s). Regarding AMOLED, there's no way HTC could have possibly included a 4.3" AMOLED display in this phone. There are two main reasons why.

1. AMOLED technology is very expensive as it is at 3.7", I can't imagine how much it would cost for them to order 4.3" displays from their providers. There's no doubt that significant cost would have been diverted to us.

2. AMOLED displays are in short supply. The Droid Incredible's been out of stock for a while because HTC can't get enough AMOLED displays to produce the number of Incredibles that would satisfy the demand of the buying public.
[EVO 4G General] 1wingangel:
The jerkiness is def a software problem. I'm sure it's because android isn't meant to be on a screen this huge....yet.

2.2 will surely fix it.

thanx for the screen input, I had no idea about an AMOLED shortage.:(
[EVO 4G General] engineer14:
samsung i9000 has a Super Amoled on a 4 inch screen, but it is also gonna be considered cheap at $500, and stores in the uk have them for upwards of $600 so i guess you do have a point

ps: i do not actually own either of the two phones

edit: but i wont mind $100 more for a display like the samsung
