I highly appreciate the super quick response ATnTDUde :)

The first two steps in your method describe how to get root i presume....

Actually i already rooted my Nexus 1 and i am fairly certain the bootloader is unlocked too ( i see a small padlock unlocked every time i turn my N1 on)

Oh so i am going to have to flash the AMon Ra recovery image using ADB. actually on Amon's thread there was another method of flashing the image using terminal which i tried and failed at. I'll most definitely try ADB method once i get back home.

Just wanted to ask you a quick question Sir.

Once i flash Amon Ra's recovery image i assume i wont be getting any OTA updates from google ???? right ....

Also if i want to go to the stock recovery image ( is there a way to do so ? ) will i start getting OTA updates
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadeemhasnaat:
Please some one help with the two questions above coz i cant start the process without knowing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
1) right

2) yes
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
Yeah, its very easy.

adb shell flash recovery /sdcard/Amon-Ra.img

or whatever the thing is.

or you can

fastboot flash recovery C:\android\tools\wha\tev\er\Amon-Ra.img

The path just has to be correct wheter o
[Nexus One Android Development] nephron:
I was using my phone today and was making a lot of calls to the same place and was really annoyed on how there is no fast way to redial your last dialed number.

What im thinking would be really helpful for nexus one users is to have a long press on the back button be a shortcut to call the last number dialed.

Now, i dont have much programing skills for this kind of job so i was wondering if i can get a developer willing to look into this.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] aboda7es:
or maybe force close app?
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
I agree. the return button should have a function to force stop from an application. or I need to do it everytime in Manage Applications settings page..
[Nexus One Android Development] nephron:
that would be pretty handy also... i wouldnt mind that either.
[Nexus One Android Development] commodoor:
So who is gonna make this happen?
[Nexus One Android Development] ay0ung:
good idea hope this gets worked on..

this would be sweet too. maybe there could be an option ib this app or w/e to do one or another?
[Nexus One Android Development] medjai:
Actually there is a quick way to redial. If you look at the modified Phone.apk that Cyanogen uses in his ROMs, I believe its by cytown not too sure, he has an options in your settings where if you hit the call button it will retrieve the last dialed number
[Nexus One Android Development] liam.lah:
My thoughts exactly.
[Nexus One Android Development] ayman07:
I dunno if either option would utilize the back button well. I mean there's an app on the market called force close and it puts a shortcut in your notification panel. Just pull down the panel and hit the force close button and ur done. Though this is not accessible with apps/games that take up the whole screen, it will work with majority of the apps. I agree that it should have a function but not sure what exactly. What about an undo function? Maybe if u unintentionally paste text or delete text, just press the button to undo. Keep sharing your ideas.

[Nexus One Android Development] Devastatin:
To redial, just hit the green phone button again without looking up a number.

POOF the numbers there..

Same on all phones, just hit talk again and it works.. (FROYO 2.2 confirmed)
[Nexus One Android Development] b9nez:
Why not just make it remapped like we did on the G1 with the Camera button where its anything we want? It shouldn't be that different from how we did it to the G1 anyways
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
bright idea!

looking forward to it
[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
Neither of these will work on the Nexus. It has neither a call button nor a camera button. Best we can do is the search button. And there are already apps on the Market that allow you to set the search button to anything you want. So all we need is an apply that, on launch, queries the call log and sends an intent to dial that number to your default dialer app.
[Nexus One Android Development] Devastatin:
Sigh,

The big green phone handle.
[Nexus One Android Development] ChicagoAndroid:
Long press on search with a menu pop-up with commands capable to execute :)
[Nexus One Android Development] alapapa:
yes, but you still have to go to launcher, press phone, then press the green on-screen button...

I think the OP's goal is to have a shorter way to access functions that are buried for lack of hardware buttons
[Nexus One Android Development] Devastatin:
No worries, program an app IMO.
[Nexus One Android Development] gopherfuzz:
Agreed 100%

I would LOVE to see the back button applied as a force close function...

Or am I still going to have to go back to the home screen and tap the "End All Tasks" widget?

OP: Great idea in a slightly skewed direction... I think more users would benefit from a force close function.
[Nexus One Android Development] dogiedogie:
Would it actually be a good idea? I have to say the back button is the one I probably spam, and I wouldnt want to force close my ebuddy etc just because it didnt register the gap between my multiple back pressings.
[Nexus One Android Development] diversificationied:
Some programs already build "exiting" by back button in. (e.g. tvguide, astro).

Having a force close function so readily available will just introduce more headaches to applications that use states heavily.
[Nexus One Android Development] nephron:
Reading some posts about the force close option, i really think that would be pointless. I use the back button all the time and here and there it will just hang for a sec or two. If we had the force close option enabled, that would just terminate my app. What if it was something important like an email or a word document?
[Nexus One Android Development] reaper1412:
Some idea:

Forced close to close specific application on application select (hold home)

how it work:

1.Hold home

2.Select application you want to force close with trackball

3.hold back

but that's just my idea

I'm no developer so i don't know if that's possible
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Any developer worth his weight will not even bother creating an application dedicated to killing other tasks for no reason.
[Nexus One Android Development] alapapa:
just an FYI in case anyone is thinking about working on this and doesn't already know:

Long press on the back button brings up the History in the Browser app, so that functionality would be lost if you override it globally (unless you somehow exempt it).

Also, that might be a place in the code to look for ideas if you want to see what sort of event you'd need to capture.
[Nexus One Android Development] 1wayjonny:
+1 over here
[Nexus One Android Development] JHPadu:
Something similar to this can be done with for example 'TaskOS' or 'AppSwipe!' but by long pressing the search button.
[Nexus One Android Development] MSigler:
Yep, this.
[Nexus One Android Development] unknownrebelx:
I figure if you were able to do this, you could have a "whitelist" for apps that you want their native long press back commands.

I personally never use the history menu in the browser, but consistently have a problem with not exiting apps fully and not noticing until they have drained my battery (especially with apps that use the gps...I just get distracted and put the phone back in my pocket without seeing the gps logo still on)

Also, I would rather not override the long press search function. I tend to use voice commands on a regular basis, as do most of the people I know.

I guess CM 6.1RC has this functionality built in....too bad there's no app for other roms / stock...
[Nexus One Android Development] britoso:
a) double click on the call button to call the last incoming/outgoing call

b) the latest CM nightly has a long-press-back to kill foreground app option in developer options.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BakaMagi:
I got Diamond touch like a month ago from a friend. it was running fine on Etox 1.3, Radio 1.17.

Then about a week ago i tried to flash my ROM with GenY. But it wasn't up to my liking.

So 3 days ago i installed Etox 1.4 and this is where the problem started. I was changing a few things in the user interface and it suddenly Freezed. i had to soft reset by pressing the reset button. however from there it can't boot up again. It freeze at the TOUCH Diamond screen with the version of Radio and Rom in red letters.

I tried hard reset it worked but then it freezed again and the same thing happened. I Run boot loader by using VolDown+Reset to install other Rom like Memo Tweak 2.5.5.0 OR even Reinstall GenY again but the problem stayed, it keeps Freezed and Cant boot up.

PLEASE anyone Help me

[G1 Apps and Games] robuser007:
When I do use Ndrive and then suddenly get a calll I get the android screen for picking up the phone.

I can't see which directions I should take and I have to relaunch the app.

Is there a way for disabling this (or is this just impossible)?

I had the same problem with navigon.

This makes the gps useless.
[G1 Apps and Games] robuser007:
no one uses gps software nowadays?
[G1 Apps and Games] robuser007:
Even google nav maps has this.

Will every navigation software have this bug or is it a cyanogen bug?
[G1 Apps and Games] GonzoG:
You can do this in 2 ways:

1) while in call press "Home", a then relaunch navi app.

2) install "Task Switcher" and while in call switch back to navi app.

If you have problems with apps closing after picking up a call you might wanna try "MinFreeManager" and set it to: 6/8/16/16/16/16 or 6/8/12/12/12/12
[G1 Apps and Games] robuser007:
1 & 2: not very handy while driving (we have here lots of small streets, unlike the USA), there are seconds that I can't see where to go to (If your stuck on the ring of Brussels it could take hours for such a small mistake).

I used tomtom in the past, I just had a small call alart on top (I could press a button) of the tomtom program, is there any program that does this on android?

Is there any app that could do this or just show the call alart on the small bar (so I can still see where to drive to)?
[G1 Apps and Games] robuser007:
I guess I could live with this. I'll set "MinFreeManager" after a clean rom install (actually waiting for another (stable?) release of CM), cuase I have too much force closes (due to bad system aps).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kolarz20:
It is possible to change the properties of button in original headphones from htc?

When I press 2 times very quickly my htc rings and it's very annoying because it's rings when I e.g. listening music.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
I think its possible. I'll look into it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deonix:
Same look alike problem

I think i broken my headphones. Whenever i plug them in , the slightest move turns into my phone calling the last person i called or called me or going into Voice Dial . So i have to call a fake number every time i plug them so it won't call from my pocket, very very annonying.

What can be made to disable this type of calling .. i don't know if the button is the problem .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kolarz20:
So nobody can solve this problem ? I write some questions on other forums but nobody give any solution.

That's a nice review! Maybe you could also add your personal preference and conclusions. It would also be nice to see Nitrogen added to this list, since it's my (and many other's) favourite music player!

Thanks for your time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nokiadashi:
really hard to choose between two,but overall Pocketmusic is better for people.

But if you are picky about quality of sound,maybe 40iPlayer stands out.

As for Nitrogen,I tried once long ago,I dont remember what happened,anyway i uninstalled it at that time.

Just now I downloaded Nitrogen v1.2,hey it looks good,I will try and get back review later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] atticus182:
Okay thanks, I will try PocketMusic! And yeah Nitrogen 1.2 looks slick and works nice, would be cool to see it reviewed :D!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] atticus182:
Nice :D it kinda confirms my thoughts about Nitrogen. Actually a mod should sticky this thread and more Music players should be added like Windows Media Player and S2P!

So out of the blue. i was just about to flash a rom, i was doing this to get in to recovery with out using a pc > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699100

after that. i rebooted and everything seem fine.. but then a msg pop up saying

"Removed SD, SD Card has been removed please insert a new one"

So i thought after the update HTC fix this problem.

Ive install so many different SD cards, all sizes, all classes, i reflash the phone with the PC36IMG.ZIP.

The phone wont even charge no more.. every time i plug it in the AC or via PC it says "its not enought of power to charge the phone please use the AC adapter" or some kind of msg like that. i only seen it twice

I cant even get in to adb mode to get in to recovery... my phone is not being found by pc either. the phone stop reading SD cards. it wont charge at all. cant find it under pc. i dont know what is going on

No Problem, glad that helped.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
Okay so I got my phone about a month ago, I had kept it stock for a week, went to a custom rom, and put it back to stock today.

Reasoning I went back to stock:

So I had been having an issue of not charging when I plug in the charger, the phone would recongized that it had been plugged in by bumping the battery meter to 100% instead of a charging icon. The LED light was blinking orange & green so I knew something wasn't right. I then proceeded to unplug the charger and saw that the 100% knocked down to 6% which it was at 8% when I plugged it in. After I saw that I removed the battery and tried a different battery ( brother has the same phone) and his was at 70% and I plugged in the charger and still the same thing happened.

So after this I have found out that it was the phone that had the issue as it was not charging the battery at all so I then returned to stock rom using my brothers battery and it still had the same issue.

I then saw the middle contact of the three golden contact on the back of the phone was sticking between the phone and the battery so I pulled out the battery and pushed the contact toward the phone and then I insert the battery back into the phone and then place the charger on it and then it started charging.

So now I need to confirm that this was the actual fix. Can anyone confirm that the middle contact is the actual one that charges the phone or was this just luck of the draw?

sorry for the long post but I thought this would be a big deal based on the design of the contacts aren't the best.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
On most cell phone battery packs the center contact(s) are a data or temp sensor connection, the power is input during charging and drawn during use from the outer contacts.

It depends on how "smart" the battery pack is that determines exactly what those center contact(s) do. In sophisticated packs there is actually circuity inside the battery back that monitors voltage, current draw and temp on the battery to determine the battery's charge status and communicates this back to the phone over a serial data bus with those contacts. on simple battery packs the center contacts are simply connections to a thermistor to monitor the battery's temp during the charging cycle, so the phone can cut off charging power if the battery starts to overheat.

In the end, yes, if the phone cant get a connection to those center contacts, it likely will not initiate a charge cycle. Attempting to charge a lithium ion with no way to monitor it is just asking for fire or explosion
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
d0ug's point above is backed up by the fact that several users have had issues with charging and/or booting the HD2 when that one middle pin gets bent (which seems like a fairly common occurance in this phone).
[HD2 General] acessford101:
Ok, so i have been having the same issue and couldnt find any information till now.

Custom rom or not, if the middle term gets bent it will not charge right, also if the battery gets warm to a certain point it will shut off on you. I have also noticed, if your battery is below 50% and your using it intensively it will also stop charging the battery. When the status gets bumped up to 100% the led's will flash between red and green, this usually means there is an issue between the battery being over save charging temp, or a malfunction of the data sensor circuit in the battery. This is built into the hardware of the phone and is a safety measure.

This is from HTC Tech support this morning.

If any one elst can find out anything, im sure there would be people glad to hear.

Too bad the terminal being bent is from having to pull out the battery all the time :(
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I've never had to pull the battery when it freezes. I just hit the red reset button. Is that not working for people?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
In my case, I just never have anything pointy enough to press the reset button, at least not as handy as just sliding the batt up and out by an inch or so. I think out of all the soft-resets I've done on my HD2, maybe 2 were by pushing the little button (yellow in my case) :o
[HD2 General] d0ug:
hmm, i just checked my center pin, its still good. Like someone said above, i also reset my phone by just poping the battery out.

Also in the same situation that i usually don't have anything around to poke the reset button. I don't think ive ever actually used the reset button yet. All my previous WinMo phones had a stylus and the reset button was on the outside of the device, no battery cover removal, so the reset button was convenient to use. Battery removal seems like the simplest thing to do, if you're already removing the battery cover, just pop out the battery

How often are you guys having to reset your phones that way that you are damaging the pin, are you rocking the battery into it, or kind of just pushing it in? i noticed that the contacts seem to only fold down, they don't fold up or push in.

Ill definitely keep in mind now to put the battery in with a slightly downward motion to make sure the pins fold down, and don't get mashed in, which is where im guessing the bending is happening for you guys
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
My left pin got bent from all the battery pulls I've been doing. I think it happens when you don't slide it in at the right angle as d0ug has suggested. Now every time I do it, I make sure that all the pins are contacting correctly. If my left pin gets bent outward, the phone does not power up at all. (which made me freak out thinkin I broke it) Both stock and cooked ROMs have required battery pulls occasionally. Overall, I think I have to do battery pulls WAY WAY WAY more than I did with my previous MT3G. So far I have tried Kumars and Elegancia ROMs. I wish I could find a stable ROM that requires zero battery pulls. =T
[HD2 General] ja0376:
yupp had the same problem with the connectors under the battery
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
I went in for a refurb and used it for a day and that pin was already bent so i went back in and this one seems to be in good working condition.

I think they should have done better job with the pins as I have never had these issues with any other phone.
[HD2 General] bdaboy338:
WOW!! that fixed my problem.
