[Nexus One Accessories] MintyFloss:
the thing is, we don't even have an app that allows video-calling. on top of that, we would have to use wi-fi, if the app even existed, because 3G would be way too choppy - therefore, most people, if they wanted to video-call, would just use Skype, or something similar, eliminating the need for a mirror contraption.

oh, and on top of all of this, how many people do you know personally with android phones (more specifically an N1 or HTC EVO, since they have the magnetic ring around the lens)?
[Nexus One Accessories] michaelo147:
I hate when people try and make their android phone like an iphone.....get an iphone
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
You have heard of Fring right? It can make video calls over 3G and works just fine the times I've tried it. Mind you I just tried it for fun since I've never used video calling and have had front facing cameras on my last 3 mobiles.
[Nexus One Accessories] Vision77:
Ummmm how about making their android phone like another android phone (Evo)...

I say we should have a choice.... The front facing camera for the nexus should come in the form of a protective case, which houses an extended battery and the front facing camera.....Think of something like the otterbox for the nexus one with a front facing camera and an extended battery included. Of course this would plug into the micro usb port on the Nexus one. Hell and while we're at it make the case able to charge like the Pre....:D
[Nexus One Accessories] wesbalmer:
I've been investigating this. I figure 5,000 units would sell just fine. I'm in the process of having the machine shop at the college I work at fabricate a couple different prototypes. So far I've concluded the only way is to either have a case that uses a couple mirrors and a very non-obnoxious tab at the top of the phone for front facing viewing. I'll have something built Wednesday.
[Nexus One Accessories] MintyFloss:
lol i'm an idiot.
[Nexus One Accessories] Vision77:
Make sure you post the post the pics!! Or PM me with them:D
[Nexus One Accessories] wesbalmer:
Okay, I've made a few mistakes and I'm going to be remaking it today. Question per my results...

1. Having a smaller front facing mirror (tab extruding from the top of the phone) means that there is little room for production error. However, it looks funny as well to me, almost like an antenna directly centered on the phone

2. Having a wider front facing mirror, which makes production error not a problem, making consistent products. Actually looks a bit cooler, having a wide tab on the top of the phone. It only extrudes 2mm from the top of the phone

I am not posting pictures as of yet as I believe that I have stumbled upon the most unobtrusive solution to the problem, and wouldn't want to get jacked. I will post picutres of it installed in about 2 more days when I get some kinks worked out.
[Nexus One Accessories] ayman07:
your so obnoxious! iphone? how about we just want a front facing camera cuz some people, like myself, like to video chat with people who are in different countries and instead of needing to be tied down a laptop/netboox, we can do it from our phones. my god people, grow up.
[Nexus One Accessories] superfastmonkey:
I will buy one for my Desire. I havce been thinking of a similar thing since I got my phone and I finally googled it and found this. Awesome, keep me posted.
[Nexus One Accessories] ayman07:
any progress on this? excited to see what you have in store for us, unless its a hoax :P
[Nexus One Accessories] [IO]ERROR:
Front facing camera? No thanks.

Rear facing screen? Hell yeah.

If you are going to invest time and money into using the N1 for video conferencing I would rather see a secondary screen that plugs into the mini-usb.
[Nexus One Accessories] :
wtf.......
[Nexus One Accessories] [IO]ERROR:
Hey if we are wishing on a star I say go for broke. =o)
[Nexus One Accessories] nopenope:
actually this is possible... All that needs to be done is someone who can produce a swivel camera that mounts via Micro USB like (Square app or what ever its called that you can swipe your credit card) and then write and App for it to go alone with it to use. There a front facing cam on the n1
[Nexus One Accessories] GldRush98:
lol, no one is going to develop hardware and software like this for a phone with such small numbers like the N1.
[Nexus One Accessories] nopenope:
Actually with the same structure you could market it to any Android phone that uses a Micro USB(Droid,Eris,Droid Incredible, X.. to name a few)
[Nexus One Accessories] wesbalmer:
No, you wouldn't be able to produce anything software reliant. First off, correct me if I'm wrong, no matter what USB device you plug into your phone you'd have to be able to use the USB host driver, which isn't built into any stock kernel, making it not appeal to 80% of the Android Market. Secondly, you would have to develop or integrate a driver specifically for the device and 'HOPE' that a developer will create the association between the hardware and the software.

The only plausible approach is to have a case or magnetic attachment, much like the magnetic lens, to extend from the rear facing camera and reorient that to a front facing camera. This would only appeal for so long, as most manufacturers will probably go on board the FFC fad soon.

I've stated that I've been working on proto-types in order to make this a reality. Currently I've spoken with plastic mold injection companies for the soft-case option, but don't like the idea. In my mind I would want something hot-swappable... and a case is not as quickly changed out as I would want. I will be updating you all soon with images concerning my effort.
[Nexus One Accessories] nopenope:
@Wesbalmer Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there someone who already made the USB as a host before to read things from? If so wouldn't the "device" be able to have those drivers built in and thus when it would "connect" to said device then use it as such?
[Nexus One Accessories] wesbalmer:
Yes, someone has. Though, you'd still have to root your phone to be able to have that functionality. You'd also have to develop some type of driver/kernel module to embrace the new hardware. Its not as cost effective as having something passive.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSProdukt:
Hi All,

I have an interesting issue with a HTC Magic 32B (Aus Voda). It appears that the only ROMs I can successfully run (after a recent failed ROM install) are the Google Ion Dev ROM and CaNNoN202-CompleteEclair-v2.0(Black). Any other ROM I attempt to load causes the phone to get stuck in a reboot cycle at the splash screen (will boot, display splash for ~10secs. then reboot).

Has anyone else seen/experienced this issue? I was running the original radio version (2.22.19.26I) and upgraded to 2.22.23.02 to see if this would help, but it made no difference.

The phone details are as follows:

Phone: HTC Magic 32B (Aus Vodafone)

Radio: 2.22.23.02

SPL: 1.33.2010

Recovery: Amon 1.7.0G

SD Card: 8Gb Class 6

Any help would be appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Yep, your /system or another partition is corrupted, now would be the perfect time for a Nandroid restore--unless you feel like erasing and rewriting the partitions manually from fastboot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSProdukt:
rynosaur,

Thanks for the reply. I have an older nand backup I would be happy to restore, but I would appreciate the learning opportunity to understand how to do a manual erase/rewrite through fastboot if you can point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Get the output of adb logcat when the boot loop is going on and paste it here, without a log its hard to say why.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSProdukt:
@Daneshm90:

Thanks for the info. Using a nandroid backup, the behaviour changes slightly - instead of looping, it hangs on the splash screen.

@kernelzilla:

When I put the phone into recovery mode and run adb logcat I receive the error /sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found (other adb commands seem to work fine). If I start logcat during the boot cycles, I just receive the adb message waiting for device. When I load one of the few ROMs that will load, I can logcat the boot sequence no problems, but it doesn't start until after the splash screen has disappeared.

Apologies for the lack of more info guys. As you can tell, I am somewhat new to adb.

Cheers.

For what it is worth, I have attached the log file from a working ROM to see if it may shed any light on the problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
you're telling us that for the entire 14 minutes that it was in wait mode for the GPS, you had a MT3g splash screen, not the rom's boot animation?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSProdukt:
kingofyo1,

As mentioned, that log file is from a working version. You are probably better qualified than I in reading that log file, so I assume ther must be logging information from previous boot attempts in there. I am unable to extract a log file from a non-working version (adb sits waiting for device).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
ok, when you try to load up a "nonworking" rom, does it give you any errors upon installation? does it successfully write all the installs correctly? when you try to boot, you should have adb logcat up adn running at this point, does logcat tell you anything at all? or just sit at the waiting for device screen? need more nfo man, sorry
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedysilwady:
i have this same issue, i cant even upgrade to the latest canon rom im stuck on canon2.1 and no matter how many times i wipe everything, if i flash any rom it gets stuck on the g1 logo and the logcat outputs NOTHING at all which confuses me..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSProdukt:
kingofyo1,

There are no errors at all that occur when the ROM is installing, and logcat sits at "waiting for device." I have not previously had these problems; it only started after a ROM install failed a few weeks ago. Now most ROMs will not load correctly, and will either boot loop at the splash screen or hang during boot.

The sequence I follow to load a ROM is:

1) Boot to Recovery (Amon_Ra 1.7.0G)

2) Wipe data/factory reset

3) Wipe cache

4) Wipe Dalvik-cache

5) Wipe SD:ext partition

6) Partition SD Card - Swap 128Mb; Ext 640Mb

7) SD:ext2 to ext3

8) Flash zip from SD Card

9) Reboot

Do you see any major issues with this sequence?

Cheers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
I had this same problem months ago with another 2.1 ROM. Here's what I did to fix this problem multiple times: (I never could nandroid, so yours might be a bit different) I installed the working 2.1 ROM and ran it until I was on home screen. Rebooted into recovery and then flashed a 1.6 ROM on top of it without any wipes. Ran it until on home screen. Rebooted into recovery, wiped, and flashed my desired ROM.

Let me know how this goes.

r3s-rt,

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I am encountering the same problem. As an interesting side note, I have just noticed something odd. In Fastboot, the phone is showing the following:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

Now, given that this is a 32B device and has the "with Google" label on the back, I would expect that this should be a G not a H. In fact, I'm pretty sure it used to be a G... Perhaps that is what is causing the issue?

Cheers

just tried the One-pinch zoom demo app via Sony ericsson tutorials (via market)

now if they can successfully implement it.

partition your SD card to 2, 256mb EXT2 Partitions and the rest as fat32, then do the rest as usual, when you get to the android install screen it will show some options, select system on EXT2 and data on EXT2 then press install android, i dont know if a 1gb sd card is enough but this runs by far the fastest and is the most compatible method for android to run off a SD card.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adza:
Hi,

Coming from a Windows Mobile device, I'm used to any email headers / part email that has been downloaded on my phone dissappearing (deleting) once it is no longer on my POP3 server.

Ie - It collects only the first 1kb header fine. If I wish to view the whole mail, i can choose to download the rest (which works). However, when my PC collects and removes the mail from the POP3 account, my windows mobile device when refreshed used to delete any part emails downloaded that were no longer on the POP3 server.

This way, my phone always showed (and only showed) non-collected mail. (Non collected meaning not yet collected on my PC).

Is there setting or method that I can use to have the same thing on my Android. I don't like the idea of having to delete (literally) hundreds of emails a week from my 'droid. I only want to view those not yet on my PC.

Thanks

From what I can tell it's not possible to do with the standard software.
