Okay, thanks! I onlly want root access to play around with some apps, I'm not planning on doing anything dangerous or overclocking so I'd be covered still I suppose. I really appreciate the comments and keep em' coming! Seems to be quite durable, and a awesome phone at that. What's the best case do you suggest protection wise?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
hey op, i hope you don't mind me stealing ur spotlight. but i'm kinda in a similar situation here.

basically, i have a family plan at t-mobile(which ran out of contract a while ago) and recently signed up with sprint for the evo 4g cause t-mobile doesn't seem to have a phone that catches my eyes. i was kinda interested in the nexus one a while ago but heard that there were a few problems with the 3g and multi-touch issues(plus the 529 dollars price tag and only sold online make it harder for me to decide since i don't know how it is.) but the good thing about t-mobile is that i don't have to pay as much since i'm on a family plan. don't get me wrong, i do have a job and afford the evo but saving money at the end of the day is a bonus plus the nexus one doesn't seem that bad now that i read more about it.

so my question to you guys is, do you think i should return my evo 4g and get the nexus one? the thing i like about the evo 4g is the big screen, and kickstand. i don't really care about the front camera or the 4g since i have hspa here in my area and not 4g yet even tho sprint's 3g is pretty amazing here too. well, enough of my story. please tell me what i should do. they both are great. lol and i know this is a nexus one section, so no biased please. lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i'm glad someone else agrees on the superb build quality of the nexus. even holding the evo in your hand, the nexus is just so far above in terms of build quality. its honestly the most solid phone i've ever had, and going in my permanent collection rather than selling it when i'm done with it. i dont get why more people dont realize this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huckleberry88:
enough said ...

don't know about the evo, but totally agree on the nexus part ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
there was a cheaper version on the site for $180 on contract at tmobile (dont remember specifics) Most of the 3g issues have been fixed, and multitouch is fine for me. I have done tests but the multitouch work when and how i need it so no problem there. Tmobiles new 3g speeds that they are currently rolling out rival sprints 4g. I would say stick with the evo, unless (comparatively) your bill with the nexus one will be significantly (based on your financial situation) cheaper, also the evo costs you $10 more per month just for 4g, but you are not using 4g as you have stated so that is $10 each month wasted.

I don't mind if you hijack the thread as long as it has to do with my topic. Your fine. Honestly, I don't care if anyone posts with the same or similar issue. This is open to anyone thinking about buying a nexus one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicdub:
Well there's a trick to getting one cheap! I used it for my family plan being stuck and unable to get one at the 180 price. Buy your phone with a new plan with T-Mobile through Google store for 180. After a week cancel your plan with T-Mobile. U wont get a early termination fee since its within two weeks. The one thing that could happen is Google might send u a equipment recovery fee charge of 150 but if your like me that wont happen. Just be prepared incase! U am now the proud owner of a nexus 1 and the superb car dock for under 300 dollars and still have my family plan, my 24.99 a month data plan, and a upgrade still available on my plan :)

i've tried applying for the plan. but i'm not elligble for it. =( any suggestion? i was thinking of asking my friend to do it for me since he probably has better credit but i don't wanna mess up his credit and he seem pretty scared too. the evo is beautiful tho.....but the nexus one(hopefully it's beautiful too) is cheaper in the long run. so hard to decide.

Pros & Cons

If you are buying this or any other $x00 phone as a toy, you could hardly do better than the Nexus One. Pros:

As others have said, I find the build quality to be better than any other phone I have owned.

I love the screen.

I love that it is running Linux and I could root it if I wanted to.

The Android marketplace, for all its faults, is awesome and filled with tons of fantastic free apps.

The 5MP camera is ridiculously good, better than my little Canon point-and-shoot except for the onboard LED flash, which sucks for a camera but rocks for a phone.

Laundry list of features. GPS, camera, haptics, touchscreen, noise cancelling mic, accelerated video.

Many more. The last "smartphone" I owned before this was a Treo 650 and the N1 absolutely blows its doors off. I have been working in embedded Linux, mobile in particular, for several years and have been watching Android mature, and I think it is ridiculously cool.

That said, there are a few cons, which may be indicative of me as a user rather than this product or form factor:

It is too small to use as an e-reader. Others will disagree.

I don't like carrying a $500 device around that is small enough to drop in the sink and ruin.

The lack of a physical keyboard is understandable, but it limits the usage severely, even with the N1's excellent voice controls.

Wi-fi antenna is small and not as good as the one on my laptop. I haven't tried 3G.

If you are buying the phone as an Android test module, this is the gold standard and you should definitely have at least one.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johng75:
im also contemplating making the jump to a N1 (ATT Version), what should i know about the phone build numbers ive been seeing?

ex.

EPE54B vs frf83 etc?

can older build numbers be updated to solve problems the new builds no longer have? or should i be looking for a N1 with a specific build number + to make sure its as hassle free as possible?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_wall98:
I rooted a coworkers phone a couple weeks back and now he's telling me he did the ota update. I'm not sure how all updates were disabled when I left but he showed me and its 2.1.

That being said, does a rooted phone that received an update maintain root and how do you tell. I feel comfortable going through the rooting process but if its a lost cause I'd rather not mess with it and mess up someone else's phone.

Thanks guys.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_wall98:
Well he wanted me to try it anyway and everything went just like the first 3 times I rooted. Had a memory error but after a couple reboots I tried again and no problem....I think anyway. After we the recovery screen I had to run so I'm don't know if he flashed anything with success yet or not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The OTA-2.1 update would never run on a phone that already had 2.1 running on it. It patches files from 1.17.605.1 and has version checks in it that prevent it from running otherwise.

That suggests one of two things:

(a) You are mistaken in your belief that you rooted his phone, or

(b) Your friend has acquired some mad skilz; sufficiently advanced that he would no longer need your help. (That is, he rolled back his rooted phone to 1.5, and then took the OTA after that.)

If he had a 1.5 phone that received the OTA-2.1 update, it is highly likely that it can be rooted - for the first time or the second.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_wall98:
I'm not real sure what happened. Said he tried to go into recovery and ended up with hboot update. After all that he was at 2.1and couldn't get recovery, it gave him the android and the exclamation point.

I got it and used the 1.5 to 2.1 to get recovery back and besides some memory errors everything was gravy.

I know he was rooted, I flashed aloysius 6 for him when I first rooted it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, perhaps your friend is confused about what he did.

The OTA-2.1 update will not run on a 2.1 phone, and it certainly won't install a new bootloader either.

Sounds more like he re-flashed either the root ROM or the Leak-V1 rom - both of them use the same image (Android in lower right hand corner, yellow exclamation point inside a white triangle in the upper left hand corner) for the recovery boot "splash screen".

He can find out what his options are if he checks his bootloader version; they're all good for re-rooting except for the 1.49.0000 S-ON (aka "Leak") bootloader.

From the way you describe it, it sounds like he had the ROOT PB00IMG.ZIP file sitting on his SD card still, and probably just re-rooted his phone (which would give him 1.49.2000 S-OFF).

I also offer a solution for dev's...I've had a thread about it before.

It allows an upload to be made which is stored on the server with a web seed.

Fastest way possible to distribute files. (also the first of it's kind)

[EVO 4G General] nenn:
im all for ftps and such, but, why arent we using torrents rather than hammering a ftp/webserver?
[EVO 4G General] lewi3069:
I think main reason is so that the main file dosen't get altered and someone else reposts a crap file, but could host the .torrent file on the FTP if you like...
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
RAPIDSHARE!!!! lol, i actually paid premium for that thing..
[EVO 4G General] Neotelos_com:
Real reasons for here are:

Not always sufficient seeds

Can't access files on mobile

I've fixed the first, the 2nd is on it's way. :)

Also, torrent files can't be altered...the hash is dependent of the file contents.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remcodb:
Hey guys,

I have a htc hero, rooted and with Legendroid rom (latest).

Everything was working fine, until I installed Dolphin Browser from the market, and tried it out, while testing the browser, the screen frooze. So iwaited a while and then pulled the battery. From this point, when i turn on the phone it shows the "Hero" screen, then goes to 'Htc quitly brilliant' screen.

I've tried to do a nandroid restore, (wich was on a villain rom) but same problem.

Then i tried to flash a new rom, still the same problem.

Sorry for the long read, and thanks in advance.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:
I would recommend that your restore to your Legendroid backup and then flash the Legendroid zip on top of that again... If you don't have a Legedroid backup then restore your VillainROM again and flash that version of VillainROM on top of that again:) Don't know why this happens but sometimes the recovery image wont really flash it also happens to me sometimes...

Flashing the rom is not that big of a deal, was concerned about unlocking the bootloader for AT&T and what was required to do it. Didn't want to make a mistake and have a $500 paperweight ;)

Still not sure where to go or what to download after reading the stickies about AT&T to unlock the bootloader before the flash.

No rooting needed if you use the "originally" leaked FRF50 build .. just download to the phone and run the update.

You may use google to search for the file and the instructions ;)

I guess the Droid X will have Froyo installed at release .....
[Nexus One General] El Daddy:
I'll be a salty dog if that phone gets the "offical" froyo before us N1 users....

I have the leaked 2.2 now and I love it. Half the reason I chose purchasing the N1 is because I love to be on the cutting edge of tech. I was under the assumption nexus one users would be getting those updates before others.

Personally, I am a bit disappointed we don't get periodic updates of early builds or experimental builds. Especially the unsubsidized users such as myself.

Before people bite my head off, telling me I should root my phone. I know, I should. I hacked the crap out of my old G1 and I waved the Cyanogen flag proudly. But, something about voiding the warranty on a $530 phone while currently having a cruddy power button doesn't appeal to me.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
It'll be on the device, but when does it actually ship?

Well have it long before then.
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
Nope. It's running 2.1 with a customer version of MotoBlur.
[Nexus One General] El Daddy:
Why would Adobe be at the presser if it will be running 2.1u1?

[Nexus One General] dharani1234:

[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
Negative. Look at the home screen....see the little Android with the tips and pointers? That's new to FroYo.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
yeah that looks like moto's version of 2.2 and it really pisses me off to see 2.2 on a device other than the Nexus.

I guess now we know what the wait has been for. Google could have had 2.2 out on the Nexus if they had wanted to, but it looks to me like the Nexus has ceased being a priority. We'll get 2.2, but it's obvious to me us Nexus owners are nothing but an afterthought to Google now.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Something tells me they'll debut the new moto phone, 2.2, flash all together. Start pre orders and deliver within a month (just like the past three major android devices).

With a footnote of :OTA being pushed to nexus on the same day, and all other phones depending on carrier.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
That is some BS I might say... but I do not think google has overlooked us. We already have beta 2.2 on nexus one's already. I'm waiting for the official release.

They have a reason for the delay. They have to. And we aren't an "after thought", or "no longer a priority". The nexus one is Google's baby, even if they don't show it sometimes.

Wait

It amazes me how so many people who are waiting for froyo conjure up these conclusion on why froyo hasnt been released yet without any hard facts backing it. It's a given the N1 owners will be the first to receive the official release. That photo with the little robot has nothing to do with the reason Froyo is not officially released yet. Cot dammit, its hasnt been released because its not ready yet lol! Why is it so hard for some people to digest that? froyo is a "Major" update to the OS, not a minor bug fix. Let google fix whats needed to be fixed so that we may have the best experience with Froyo lol.
[Nexus One General] Snow_fox:
In all fairness.. a lot of people with the n1 probably paid full price for the device.. 529$..

And I know for me.. part of why I don't mind paying that price is because, I will get the update first..... Its the price of an unlocked unsubsidized phone.. so we do have certain expectations..
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Why would buying the phone unsubsidized give anyone a priority? It's not like we're paying more money for the things. I bought mine unsubsidized, and when I do the math I end up paying about $100 less then if I bought it on contract.
[Nexus One General] princeasi:
To be exact, I paid $580.00. I didn't pay that price to receive updates first. I paid that price for the features, and for a phone that is at least 95% glitch free! I'm thirsting for the update as well, but i want Google to take their time and make it right, because right now, the phone is not right with all the touchscreen issues going on!
[Nexus One General] Snow_fox:
I would say one good reason unsubsidized buyers should get priority is because, subsidized phones have to have "carrier approval" or some crap like that.

So If I'm paying for an unsubsidized phone.. I am paying so that my carrier does cripple, weaken and more or less castrate my phone..

As horrible as that is.. that is pretty much what it boils down to.. my carrier has a habit of butchering phones.. and well quite frankly..

If we pay money for a phone that is suppose to be "Google's Flagship Phone" especially coming from a carrier that butchers all of its own phone.. Then we expect to get what we paid for.. the updates first..

With that said.. I don't care whether froyo comes out now.. or in two months from now.. If I pay for a nexus one, I want the nexus one to get froyo before other people who happen to pay less for their phone..
