This is tough, I was planning to get the phone today but I decided I wasn't ready to make the choice yet.

They have this "get 2 smart phones for the price of 1" offer which is why the My Touch 3G was a big choice for me so my little brother could get his phone updated as well, but I'd have to cancel the line (since it's for NEW customers) and re-open and change my number which seems stupid.

This is a hard choice

Vibrant vs HD2. I'm still torn between the two since they are similar except one has a bigger screen but no native android, and one has native android but doesn't have a big screen in comparison. I'll be honest here, I love free apps but I don't know if you can root the Vibrant and manually install apps (Confirm or Deny).

Still though.. I'm a bit torn >_> Arghh, why do these phones have to be so damn sexy?

Hey I've tried every RSS news widget that I can find but can't seem to find everything I'm looking for. I want a widget that is like 4x1 or 4x2, has the look and feel of the stock android news widget, scrolls the headlines, auto updates, and has the ability to add custom feeds. The stock android widget does everything I want but does not allow custom feeds :( . Also the ability to have multiple widgets running different threads would be a plus but not really as important as everything else. So if anyone knows of any or know how to program one please let me know!!! Thanks in advance.

p.s. - I like blueRSS however it does not scroll though the stories....

[EVO 4G General] stewie-droid:
Evo/sense answers calls when taken out of pocket even when screen locked since to answer is to scroll down which is natural movement when taking it out of pocket.

Any app that works great that does not interfear with calls. Side swipe would be best i think. I'm rethinking sense-less ROM now but i don't know which onces are senseless. Need stable and low battery consuming rom or an app. Any idea ?
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I've been having this problem as well ever since upgrading to Froyo, I don't know if they increased the screen sensitivity or what but never had the problem before. I always either decline the call sending it straight to voicemail or if i'm lucky it answers the call instead, it's quite annoying.

Got Rom Premium, CWM, and AmonRa on N1.

Playing and trying to learn about the manual (green) recovery screens.

Q1: What is the Apply Update:Update.Zip for?

Q2: When in those screens, no buttons I try can take me back to previous screen, like vol- does in AmonRa.

Thanks for any help and I read dozens of search results without really understanding Apply Update and no luck on going back on screens.

I am not expert yet, so please keep replies at a for dummy level. :)

[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
If your using Clockword Recovery then Ill help ya out.

1: Thats used if you have the rom or update on the root of your sd card and have it named update.zip. This is how we used to flash roms on the old recovery menus on the G1, they just left it in. Now you can just search your sd card for the rom you want.

2: The power buttom will go back, and if your on the main screen the power button will turn off the display to save power.
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
What do you mean when you say manual recovery screen? Do you mean the stock recovery or are you talking about a custom? With the stock recovery it will only install files named update.zip signed with google keys. If you are talking about a custom recovery that means that it will search for a file named update.zip and flash that.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Thanks a lot,

1. I thought the zip wasn't needed anymore based on my research.

2. Got it, I swore I tried that.

When on main screen how do you exit it?

Ken
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
1: It isn't, they kind of just left it in as a fast way of flashing without having to look for it.

2: Just hit the reboot option at the top.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
One more question, at least for now. :):)

Is going back and forth between recoveries, as easy as just "flashing alternate recovery" from that selection. I.E. CWM to AmonRa and vice versa?

Your help is greatly appreciated
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Yup. Tho id recommend Clockwork, since im a little bias. :p

And no prob, I was an android noob at one time. :cool:

Ninja Edit:

A warning tho, if you use nandroid, the 2 recoveries don't play nice with each others nandroids.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Thanks McFroger3,

I like what CWM offers just heard some problems with it and AmonRa is rock solid, but more manual and doesn't allow for quick flashes of the CM6 nightlies I am on.

Ken
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
I am just talking about the green screens where you do your backup/restores, flash roms etc. Bad semantics on my part. It's where you go when you select Reboot into Recovery on the CWM main screen.

I think I am good to go,

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:

Right, I am assuming you are talking about Backup with CWM, restore with CWM and same for AmonRa.

Ken
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Yea, if you back up with CWM, and try to restore with Amon, you will run into issues lol.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Thanks Again for the heads up,

I read that during my research to solve these issues which you quickly helped me with. I won't mix the two. If CWM works well for me, I will use it most if not all of the time. I got into this helping new rooters on the Nexus One forum when most used 1 click to root and started using Rom Mangager and CWM.

Got to call it a day!

Thanks, :):)

[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
OK,

I want CWM Recovery to work for me. I flashed the latest nightly from the list in ROM Manager. Followed all prompts and allowed the Google Addons to be downloaded also. OK'd backup. The backup and nightly went fined. But, the gapps hung on installing. Had to pull battery, reboot, and restore to previous backup. All Ok now, but it bothers me and not sure if I want to try again. Have been flashing roms, gapps etc with AmomRa for awhile.

Did I miss something? CWM did all the choosing of what to dl and flash. Something different on gapps? It was hdpi-frf91-2-signed.zip. I know that is not the latest. Latest is frf91-UP. Don't know if that matters.

If I have to copy that to sd and flash, what is the procedure? If I select the latest nightly, I have to tell CWM I don't want the gapps, then does it give me that opportunity to grab the gapps zip from sd card before it flashes the nightly. If not, I have no market on phone to dl anything like Titanium to get phone running.

What am I mising?

I copied latest gapps zip to sd card, did not rename. It has .zip on end. Playing around I selected Install Rom from SD Card and found the zip. Clicked on it. Options under Install Queue screen: Ok or Add Zip. Do I zip since it has one. And this allowing me to queue it and go back and add another rom. Didn't see those choices when I did the procedure from the Download Rom choice on Rom manager main screen.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Easier question may be:

If I want to flash latest nightly and a gapps zip I copied to sd card, the latest. What is the procedure?

It seems CWM won't let me install latest nightly without installing gapps, not the latest. Don't know if that is my problem.

Seems I would need to flash latest nightly again and if ok, just flash latest gapps, no wipe, over the just installed nightly.

And if gapps don't install, I can go back and flash my latest gapps from the sd card.

Any thoughts.
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Had to flash my latest .zip fromsd card after the gapps attached to lastest nightly failed to install again.

Long story short, I changed my cellphone to N1 last month from my old Nokia 5800 XM with the unlimited $15 data plan. Not surprisingly, they forced the $25 dollars smartphone data plan on me soon after I swapped the sim card.

But considering I use wifi mainly on my phone, I called today to downgrade my data plan to the $15 200mb tier as the option doesn't show up in my online account feature section. And apparently, the lady on the phone doesn't know her business too much. She asked me what phone model I was using several times and asked me if it's a smart phone. I had to articulate word by word "google. nexus. one." to her so she could put it down. Before that, she just assumed I was using an iPhone, lol. And also she sounded quite confused about the data plans AT&T has. After some long wait on hold, she cheerfully told me she successfully changed my data plan to $15. So I logged into my account and surprisingly found out the feature of my data plan is:

Data Unlimited: Quick Messaging/Basic Phones

AT&T Recommends	$15.00	N/A	Unlimited	Current

Didn't the honest me just tell her that I was using a nexus one and it's a smart phone? :eek: I guess she really doesn't know too much about phone tech even though she works as a customer service rep for AT&T. But I don't blame her for that. :p Well, even though if somehow in the future they find out there's some mistake and revoke the change, I wouldn't mind because I don't use that much 3g data anyway.
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
I wouldn't go out of my way, but if that force you to upgrade or realize the error just know it's the correct charge.

also....since we both got AT&T.....you happen to have her rep number? i wanna call and try to get her so i can try my luck with her :D
[Nexus One General] hbkmog:
Oh everyone, I guess I spoke too soon. This morning I found out they changed my plan to $25 again. I guess it's the system automation.

I called them again and this time the Guy there apparently know I'm using a HTC phone. But still he couldn't change my plan as he needed me to call from another phone to get the IMEI number. I guess I'll try to call again then.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Yeah that's what has been happening to everyone else. The system automatically sweeps accounts and puts the correct data plan. Oh well.
[Nexus One General] jojoatt:

[Nexus One General] osugsxr:

There's a ringtone that seems to be only available in the i9000 ROM's (at least JM2/JM5), and I really like the sound of it but forgot to pull it before flashing to a Captivate ROM. I don't know specifically where it's located, but I'd love if someone can pull and send me the "Secret Just for You" ringtone (I believe that's the name).

Hi,

I just finally got my TP2 today, a Sprint unlocked TP2. I'm in Canada and i bought a plan with rogers. It worked fine for a time, but suddenly after maybe a litttle more than a hour of use, it stopped working. No Internet and telephone. On the home screen where it was written "Rogers Wireless" it"s not just written international and nothing works.

I tried to restart the phone and remove the SIM card but nothing worked. I even tried a hard reboot, but still nothing.

Do you have any idea what i could do?

thanks in advance!

Great, thanks.

One more question about it:

When I've installed that PB31IMG before to downgrade I've gotten the error message 'main version is older' and had to push a couple files with adb in order to make it work. Do you think that will be necessary since the nand is unlocked now?

EDIT ANSWERED:I did NOT get that 'Main version is older' prompt when attempting to downgrade. I used the same PB31IMG.zip file that I have been using for months and it did exactly what it was supposed to, and so did S-off (otherwise it wouldn't let me downgrade to an earlier bootloader version). I am stock, it worked! END EDIT

I'm certainly not ready to try it now since I'm pretty happy with my current situation ROM-wise, I'm just asking now so I'm not asking these questions next week when I foresee it being a madhouse in here after we get froyoed.

Hi all,

I am looking for a desktop cradle / dock that accommodates EVO with case. Any suggestions? I searched a lot but couldn't find one.

Regards,

KS
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
Depends partly on which case you're using. A universal mount which works by clamping onto the outer edges of the phone with foam-rubber fingers won't much care what it's holding. They're available as windshield mounts, vent mounts (for those keen on finding out just how delicate those vent vanes used to be, before being ripped out by a vent mount) and dash mounts.

If you're rich, and paid enough to get a Seidio wideass battery, their new mount is built to hold it with the fat case on it, but they'll knife you fifty bucks for it.

If you use the kind of case that hugs the phone from the back, you can either glue a mounting lug onto it which mates to a dash mount, or do the same to a spare case.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Nandroid backup, try a different rom for a while and find out.

Opinions often vary especially here on the MyTouch side because so many people here have a 32a device which is different than 32b in regards to hardware. 32a devices would have a better experience than 32b because it has more memory. My opinion 4.2.15.1 with 96mb swap/32 swappiness was best for G1 and CM6 RC2 without swap or compcache is best for my MyTouch 1.2 device. But that's just me. Your opinion might differ because your needs differ. So yeah, try a different one and find out for yourself.

I hold it to my head, yeah I said it. I do get wierd stares though. At least the screen turns off when your ear touches. Long conversations I always use ear piece though.

[Streak 5 General] miker71:
For long teleconferences I always use a headset no matter what the phone.

For short social calls I use the Streak directly.

I think the "people staring" thing is a myth, it's just me being awkwardly self-conscious and propagating the myth.

I do think it would be tough to market the Streak as a phone though because of the built-in prejudices everyone has that things must be smaller/thinner/faster etc. But it will struggle as a tablet because iPad pretty much is the baseline.

So Dell have an opportunity to define their own category and be the first in it. I hope they're smart enough not to kill the Streak but to stick at it and own the category.
[Streak 5 General] PaulKen:

was going to reply to the OP query with "my mouth" but I'm feeling less sardonic than usual.. :rolleyes:

my mate was playing with my streak the other day and said "what you really hold it up to your ear?" then he gave it back to me and when I held it up to my ear he said "ok so it looks like a normal sized phone when you hold it"

I guess it helps if you can wrap your hand around it so that I can quite comfortably over touch forefinger to thumb in portrait mode...
