[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
I need to replace my X1's ribbon cable with a new one due to my screen was not functioning at all yesterday..

and they cost RM260-280 (around 70-80 USD) and our income are just about the same.. but MYR value is much more lower than USD T^T

How much did you all cost to buy a ribbon cable? or how much they've charged you in service centres to repair it?
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
If its still under warranty then it will be free at the service center.
[XPERIA X1 General] Draken Korin:
on ebay are cheaper offers (in case warranty is already void), just doing a little search there...naturally not able to comment on any of the sellers
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
Nope it's not under warranty.. and it really costs that much in service centers.. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
thanks for the info.. Helped a lot.. :D but I've sent my phone for service already :(:(
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i dont see why they should charge you if its under warranty??? how much are they charging you (i assume its an official service center se recognises)
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
We pay around $26 for a flex + labour. Total to the customer is around $80 from us, up to $250 from others.
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
well that takes the biscuit doesnt it - you pay £500 for this phone then gotta pay for repairs and stuff, my repairs were completely free :S even sent by free post!
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
The flex problem is endemic to every phone with slide/flip form factor, regardless of the price. The problem with every Xperia I encountered for repairs is the cracks in the casing, which effectively voids the warranty. Yes, it may very well be SE fault, but I am not the one to rule on the subject, I just repair electronics.
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
Not under Warranty.. Stated above :confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
so you mean that it costs 80 dollars in US to fix ribbon cable?
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
oh right, sorry mis read
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
Paid for the repairs for RM 260..

Thread can be closed if no one wants to state more of their Ribbon cable values in their countries..

my phone is stuck in "digital roaming" , i just wiped and flashed Fresh 2.1.2 and its still telling me digital roaming?? please help, what is this will i get charged for using my phone now, i tried to update my profile and that does work either??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
Ok. Relax, deep breath. (also should be in Q&A not dev)

#1 - no you won't get charged and this is easily fixed.

#2 - check your PRL is it 27xxx something? If so, you've gotten a verizon PRL for some reason. No big deal.

http://asia.cnet.com/blogs/rehashplus/post.htm?id=63019568&scid=rvhm_ms

The bolded really hit home.

I sincerely hope Google doesnt flat out give up on it. That they do have a sequel that will be available to all carriers. Nexus One pushed everything forward and back to back with the Droid legitimized Android as a premiere (and to many) THE premiere mobile OS. The amount of powerful handsets that have been dropped the last 7 months is ridiculous and only due to Android. Otherwise we'd still be stuck on Winmo 6.5 , an iPhone with no retina display or multitasking ,or a dead WebOS. Regardless of sales figures the Nexus one was the most important handset to drop this year.

Sadly because of those low sales figures Im not sure if we'll actually see a pure Google Nexus 2.

All these phones without colored trackballs have me worried too =-O.

p.s leave some comments...I tend to support bloggers/writers who can write without gross bias. This guy also happens to love N1.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Generally agree, except for the part of "By all estimates, the Nexus One was a failure". Low sales number don't equal failure. Look at PS3, they just broke even on that thing, and they sold A LOT.

Besides, google never planned to make money on phones. They are not htc. They don't make phones. They plan to make money on the OS and partnerships with manufacturers who want to run Android (+ google ads).

People forget that Nexus One, although branded as google phone, is actually an htc headset.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
It didnt shake anything up.

Most people have no Fn clue wth a Nexus One is.

Sales figures were laughable.

Thats what people will measure it by.

As a piece of technology it was massive success. Considering the BRUTAL bias and flat out bogus reviews it received , the 3g, wonky soft buttons , and MT problems you'd expect it to be a total dud.It was anything but.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
True, but I think we have to understand that goal was never to sell millions of Nexus Ones and make tons of money. N1 is kinda like a Android demo phone. Something that manufacturers and interested developers/users can try and see where Android is going, what it really is. That's the real goal, not to sell it as a regular money-making gizmo.

I think in that sense, N1 was a huge success. Think about it. Manuf. and developers tried it out, and loved it. Proof is that immediately manufacturers like htc, motorola and samsung (not even mentioning logitech, gm, cisco...) jumped on the bandwagon, seeing the potential in it.

I think the real hardware "money makers" were always intended to be Evo 4G, Galaxy S, some lower-end android phones that AT&T is launching.. Those are your standard gizmos whos success you can measure in sales numbers.

G1 -> Nexus One are special, their success is not to be measured in sales, but in exposure and future developments.
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
I have yet to handle any phone that feels as solid and expensive as my Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] clickwir:
I'd love to get my hands on a Nexus Two.

It doesn't even have spec rumors yet and I want it. I love the openness of it and that it's the one that gets Googles focus. Love it!
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
There won't be a nexus two.

Google is sitting on a pile of Nexus Ones and is trying to unload them anyway they can. It's painfully obvious retail hardware is not a business they want to further pursue.

Your best bet for another phone as open as the nexus will be the next developer phone, or something from Nokia's brand.
[Nexus One General] th0r615:
Google, give me a Nexus Two with the following:

4.3" Screen (720p-ish resolution)

Next-gen processor (hummingbird? or one of those duel-core cpus?)

768+ MB of RAM/ROM

Front Facing camera (VGA is fine)

8+ MP regular camera

Optical trackpad (see blackberry)

Hardware back, menu, home, search buttons

HDMI out

8GB internal storage (16 would be nice too :D )
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Google have never actually said that the Nexus One was a failure right? They said that the Web Store is a failure as it didn't meet their expectations. The Nexus One not selling so many units is because it was only available on a failing web store. When Google announced they were closing the web store they said that Nexus One's will be sold in retail stores, they didn't say they are discontinuing the product like how Microsoft have with the Kin phones.

And Google have said that the reason the Nexus One didn't appear on Verizon and Sprint was because Google changed the sales model early on (choosing to close the web store but announcing it much later) and as the networks were going to get equivalent phones to the Nexus One, Google and the networks decided to pull out. I reckon the reason why the Nexus One was delayed so much on the Vodafone network was due to the fact that Google were changing their sales model.

However the Nexus One did achieve a goal of pushing manufactures to produce high quality phones. The Nexus One specs are now like a minimum for all future smartphones.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
The nexus one was being produced at the same time as all the other HTC lineup, it's actually the lower end of HTC current snapdragon line.

Had google not bid on this specific model, we would proably be seeing this exact phone Labeled T-Mobile MyTouch HD or something without and unlockable bootloader.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
do you guys honestly think google expected to sell millions of nexus one's when all they did is throw up a few ads on a few websites? they didnt do any primetime TV ads, nothing. you honestly think that google didnt do that on purpose? no way would they have expected huge sales with that kind of marketing platform (or lack thereof). they wanted a develper phone, and that's what they got. of course if they bought primetime TV space like apple does, then they would have sold a lot more. i dont see how people fail to see this logic.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
If that'd be true in any way, u'd see discounted prices and specials for N1.

Do you? Cause if you find one, I'd love to be proven wrong (my friend wants nothing but N1 now).
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
They still have an investment in them, they're not going to willingly lose that money.

My comment was directed at their current strategy of selling them in "retail stores all over the place".
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
EXACTLY. You guys are jumping on a bandwagon of "N1 was a fail". It's completely wrong. Stop believing stuff that some trolls write on a forum.

It's extremelly shallow to think that all things that are released are released to sell as many as possible. Or that pure "items sold" would give you an idea of how successfull item was.

There are many, many cases of special edition cars, stereo systems, you name it. Some items are designed and sold for a different purpose. To increase awareness, to hit a small portion of the market. To create a sense of "rarity" or "urgency", etc etc.

Want proof? Ok. Remember the GMAIL model. First year or two you could ONLY get gmail by INVITE. If you didn't know, google wrote a book on "Virus Marketing". Creating a sense of rareness, coolness and priviledge towards a certain item. It works, they're not idiots. They are doing the same thing with N1. Just enough marketing to sell them, but not enough to sate people with the idea. Think about it.

In a way, you're holding a rare (or soon to be), barely advertised, special edition Android 2 phone. Don't complain that not everyone bought one. It was never meant to be.

Besides.. don't be naive. If google (one of biggest web advertisers in the world) would want to REALLY advertise their phone... Trust you me, they'd advertise the BEJESUS out of it. They'd sell millions worldwide. That's just not their goal.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Changing from online sales to store sales does NOT equal failed product.

Even if google indeed got dissapointed with online sale model, it doesn't mean that N1 is an epic fail, as quote from first post states.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I never said it was a failed product, they've already turned a profit on it.

Changing your primary business model shows your product wasn't a great success.
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Correct but the product that wasn't a success is the Google Web Store, not the Nexus One.

The Web Store failed, the Nexus One didn't.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
This is more in general, and not directed specifically at you, Sarg, but at some of the similar comments along the same lines.

I'm pretty sure Google was aware of these things prior to selling the N1:

1 - Most people in the states buy phones subsidized from the carriers

2 - Most people don't want to shell out almost $600 for a phone

3 - The economy kinda sucks

Why would they proceed, knowing the above, if they intended the N1 to be as successful as the iPhone?

Perhaps, just perhaps, Google is aware of a small but serious community of people who love technology and want the latest and greatest. Perhaps Google's goal all along was to target a select few and push the development of the OS, the apps, and the general market for Android devices.

To me, the N1 is really like phase 2 or 3 in a lengthy strategic plan that is, in all aspects, going rather well.

1 - Secure an OS (Purchase of Android)

2 - Develop and market and OS (Release of G1)

3 - Grow the base

a - Advertise Android​

b - Put out more Android devices​

c - Release a killer device to spur OS, app, and marketshare development​

4 - Drop more serious Android devices (and we're seeing a ton now)

5 - World domination

The indent feature on 3a, b, and c didn't work quite like planned, but c'est la vie. You get the idea.
[Nexus One General] eatamez2:
I could imagine with Gingerbread coming in October, and the fact that the Dev 2 phone (myTouch) doesn't fit any of the requirements, that we'll see a pretty updated Dev 3 phone designed specifically for Gingerbread.

That's would make logical sense to me anyway.
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
I wish nexus one had more storage (4GB or higher) because it can't rely on memory card as it may fail. In addition, more storage can let me store more music on the phone itself and free the memory card for video.

Generally I am happy with nexus one and I think the migration from WM is a right decision.
[HTC Aria General] rkorzuch:
I haven't been able to figure out how to see which applications that are running in the background? Does anyone know the trick?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You need to download a task manager app from the marketplace. The most recent one I found that I like is System Panel Lite.

[HTC Aria General] rkorzuch:
Thank You!
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
Look at "settings > applications > services" and "settings > applications > manage applications (filter on running)"

Note that android applications should "sleep" while not shown so a "running" application may not be using any resources other than memory which is released as needed.

Wow, I was wondering about the multitasking, I installed ATK and then was advised to not, the battery life lasts longer. Wait, I kind of went off topic here...
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
There is a lot of confusion about how the android os operates. You do not need a task killer but you do need to be selective about the services and widgets you are using.
[HTC Aria General] cegna09:
Just wanted to check. There are contacts on the rear cover, that go to contacts in the phone. Can anyone confirm what these are for? I want to say that the antenna is in that cover, and these are to connect the antenna to the phone. I'm about 95% sure i'm right on this, since i lose a few bars of signal when the rear cover comes off, just wanted to make sure i'm right.
[HTC Aria General] Knifey:
I saw this thread and asked the rep while I was in the store today for warranty stuff, he said he has no idea and that it's either for antenna or inductive charging on a supported charging mat, like the palm pre has.

He showed me what the wireless charging thing looked like on his palm and it looked similar. Apparently you just set the phone down on a mat and it charges.

Don't know if that helped any, but it would be cool if it was for charging. I'll keep my eyes open for any accessories that would confirm this.
[HTC Aria General] gdeadfan:
The back cover is indeed the antennae. And no, it (unfortunately) has nothing to do with a wireless charging method.

I just did a full root, and from what I've read, I just have to get into recovery mode (via prompt -> "adb reboot recovery", is there a easier way?) and then select the package and install from the menu, right? Aside from that, is it safe to downgrade radios in the case where a newer one performs poorly?
