ah not a bad idea at all lol jailbreak it and sell it for a fortune on ebay :cool:

Put android on the iPhone so both are happy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adunski:
I'm not going to go as far as to say you should leave her, but my gf knows I don't want no stinking iphone..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
"lose" it

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Yeh, after selling it then buy her some flowers ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espeanage:
What did you get her? You should sell the iPhone and get her an Android phone!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
I have a great idea for your iPhone. Put the sim back in the N1, and use the iPhone as an mp3 player and to play games on (after jailbreaking of course). This way you will save you N1's battery life, and if someone steals your iPhone while playing on the train, it's just an iPhone, not your Nexus. lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris6278:
Just give it to me lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katiepea:
If a girl is dating a boy with a nexus one, and isn't smart enough to realize that just the fact that you own a nexus one likely means you wouldn't ever want an iphone...she's not worth dating.

Sorry but just the fact that she would assume "he doesn't have an iphone? Well everyone knows iphone is the best, I'll get him one" spells trouble in the thought process department.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
The iPhone 4 is an awesome phone and superb hardware. The only problem is the OS is just boring and not as good to me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrin313:
Iphone4's retina display n hd capabilities with froyo would definitely rock...

Haha, oh wow. We have a winrar...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obstacles can kill:
Ouch, for a tech geek, that's the equivalent of expecting to be the giver in a threesome with her step-sister but instead being the receiver in a threesome with her step-father.

I kid I kid. And come on everyone, the significant other of every tech geek isn't always going to be a tech geek themselves. She tried doing something sweet (wouldn't have happened in my case though **cough cough**) and he didn't want to upset her by turning it away.

So here's the solution... use it for a couple weeks and then ask a friend that she doesn't know to pretend to mug you and steal the phone. Or "accidentally" drop it in the sink while you're doing dishes. Then you can say "oh no! I'm so sorry. At least I've still got my Nexus One though."

:cool:

EDIT: And for the record, I'm not knocking the iPhone 4. For what it is, it's actually a great device. Its downfall is Apple's tight policies over it (my opinion). But a tech geek is harder to shop for than a woman.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
ah i forgot all about this lol i hope it works close to how it works on the nexus one :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
well she has an iphone already so im guessing she bought me an iphone so we can facetime while we are away.....IF there is WiFi in the area -_-
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
lol dude i thought about this last night. i just got to wait for my micro sim adapter to come in through the mail and its welcome back nexus :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
you are right. after giving it a full day's use, its actually pretty good but i have an issue finding a twitter app that does what android twitter apps do. i have to open up the app to have everything refresh. also im so used to Android's notification bar that im still getting used to not sliding the top of my iphone thinking its still my nexus when i get a text or IM lol just gotta wait til i get my micro sim card adapter in the mail :mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
tell her you cant get a signal and it keeps dropping calls and say that you want to return it... instead of her buying you that paperweight piece of **** go spend a weekend somewhere nice... and take her stepsister along as well ;)

cheers!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
Bring your Nexus One with you and create a WiFi hotspot. Problem solved.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerendeiro:
Hey of course i was kidding, she did an awesome present
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
Sell it and buy her something fantastic (since the thing does fetch quite a bit on ebay). Everyone ought to be happy then.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drziddo:
LMAO! Good answer man!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
If my girlfriend gave me an iPhone 4 as a gift I would absolutely keep it. It's the best camera phone currently on the market. The problem would be each day which phone would I put my sim in, cause android is so much more functional to me. However that iPhone would get superior battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightMAREcrow:
I also have the iPhone 4 and nexus one. Both great phones and I find that they compliment each other very well. The simplicity of the iPhone though is a bit too simple making it so that it sacrifices functionality in many areas.

I will say that the iPhone has the best screen I have ever come across, I will be selling it soon because AT$T has the worst service I have ever owned. I put blame on both the iPhone and AT&T.

Also my girlfriend bought me the iPhone for a graduation gift and thats how I ended up with AT&t, my nexus is on T-mobile and its network in Chicago is great.

If you do want to sell it go through eBay as that is where mine will be posted seeing as how it is going for $700+
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickwir:
I've had my hands on an iphone 3g, 3gs and a 4. Those things are baby toys compared to Android.

"oh it's a great phone" bull****. it sucks. I can't stand using the damn things. Obviously they have a lot of sales, so they are hitting a chord with a lot of people. But not me. I pick that up and it feels like something from another world, completely non-intuitive, clunky and unrefined. And you can't do anything with it. It has about as many options as a FisherPrice Laugh & Learn™ Learning Farm.

Yea, I'm an iphone hater. More likely I'm an android lover and love freedom and choice. Apple hates freedom and choice... so I hate them.

I feel bad for the OP. I really do. My wife knows the only place she can hand me an apple product and see me smile, is at the shooting range.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
lol

To be honest its the control apple holds over its phones that bothers me the most and then the plain and boring UI, When i saw on Engadget that apple is trying to patent a kill switch for its phone it made me so glad i ditched the iphone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
My wife knows this too. However, a MacBook Pro, or an iMac is different! Right?

:)

TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER:

Like others have said, keep it for a while, and when you drop it, pretend it's broken. Sell it on ebay, cause, sh!t, you can sell anything on there.

Recoup your lost money, and treat your lady to an amazing dinner, dancing, romancin', etc. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
You're complaining that you got a gift??? Damn dude lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peliROJO:
This is clearly your fault. If you would have loved your Nexus as much as you claim she wouldn't be thinking of getting you another phone, she would be trying to get you away from the one you already have.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdap:
Solution:

1.) Take sim card out of iphone 4.

2.) Place sim card into N1.

3.) Sell iphone 4

4.) Use cash obtained to buy diamond ring.

5.) Enjoy the thank you threesome.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Hmm but his girlfriend would then technically be paying for her own diamond ring if he sells it and uses the cash to buy her a ring.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I don't know how anyone who browses the web a lot can stand the iPhone after having a nexus one. I played with my uncle's iPhone 4 because he had it shipped to my house, and after a day of messing with it and just pulling my hair out with that ridiculously terrible browser I don't know how people deal with it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstuffs:
I don't know why you'd take a gift that carries a contact for something you don't like or won't use for the long run.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
well yea i have read posts n i will not leave my girlfriend lol she did this in a cruel joke but i ended up keeping it as an ipod/back up phone. it does got nice features but im so used to how easy Android is. i really miss the 24 hour return feature of the Android market. so i will keep it but my Nexus One will still be #1 even with the annoying wifi issue i recently started having -_- but my Nexus is still my #1. im still waiting on my micro sim card adapter to come in through the mail :mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peliROJO:
So what happened to your Nexus, you made a post on the 15th saying it was dead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sell your girlfriend and get an ipad.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
i said it was dead? the only thing that has been buggin me about it is the wifi randomly turns on n off on its own. other than that, its fine n im expecting my micro sim card adapter to come in within the next few days to go back to my nexus. i miss how easy and simple android multitasking is. iOS multitasking sucks big time with no twitter apps with true push notifications like all Android apps have :mad:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] heinz_pt:
I can't zoom in or out with my X10 mini, can anyone do that?

Best regards.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
No zoom function on the x10 mini. Try a program like vignette which has a workaround.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
I need a camera app having "Antishake". The shutter on Mini is a bit quirky and makes my photos shake everytime when I press it to shoot the frame after auto focus locks on the frame. So I require a camera app which will help to reduce/remove the shake by exposing the frame by say - Touching - any part of the screen. I have used one or two Camera apps like snap photo camera 360 etc which does this antishake but none of them recognises the camera flash. Does vignette recognise camera flash and has this antishake feature too?

Or can anybody recommend a Camera App having this Anti-Shake feature whicch works with Mini cmera flash and other functions.

Thanks

Edit:

I tried the app "Vignette" and all the basic things work. As added feature we get digi zoom and steady shot which I have tried and found good. There are many more features and effects which are also worth trying. Good app for Mini.

Good Morning,

I've just tried to skin my whole phone with metro/wp7. So far I managed to skin pretty much everything but the Messaging App and Active Sync background. It should be black like the background when composing a message.

Here the screen-shots of both (changing the font is no problem, thanks to UItweek):

Screenshot 1 and 2 in the attachment

And thats the way the "composing a message" windows looks like and the inbox should look as well:

Screenshot 3 in the attachment

Thanks for the help

PS: My ROM is Energy.BLACKSTONE.23678.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Aug.18.
[Windows Mobile Themes] azngl:
Looks great! Good Job!

What would the threaded messages window look like , like pic 2 or 3?
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
I really like the threaded messages window so I'll post it too. It looks like it should with black background...

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
how to change the threaded messages window background color?
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
That was pretty simple. Either you use UItweak http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/uitweaker.shtml or look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=603905 if you want a picture as background.

The problem: Both won't change the Inbox window background and that's what I want.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
i download the ui tweaker but having dificulties on which options to change outlook/sms thread background color, can you point me? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
that's exactly my problem, i can't change the inbox background just the background for viewing and typing messages.

If you want to change the "viewing and typing" background just go to "SysColor Changer". Change there the color to black (I don't know which one exactly you have to change for this effect. I changed pretty much every background to black and the font to a light blue. With white font you won't be able to see the text in the inbox window)

In the attachment you'll find my sys file. I tried to style my phone a bit wp7/metro like. just rename it to blue-black.sys (xda won't let me upload a *.sys file) and import it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chelsea_fc:
thanks, i'll play a little with it
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
if you have a solution for my problem, plz post it :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
Is there anyone with a solution or is it posted in the wrong section?
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
I think its better to close this thread now. Maybe there is simply no answer to that question.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bobzero:
OP, did you ever figure out how to change the background?

I have a theme that has the text input section black, but the chat log section is grey. I want to change the background to black but I can't figure out how.

Can someone please tell me how I can edit a .tsk file to make a black background for threaded sms? I've been searching everywhere and I can find which specific edit I need to make to change the background SMS window colour. Also the font colour for that window will need to be changed to white.

I'm trying to edit this theme I have attached.

Here is a screen shot of how it looks now. and the other screen shot is roughly how I want it to look (with black background).
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_illuminat:
Hi bobzero

I'm sorry but I never worked out how to get this done. I have skinned the "message writing window" by using UITweak. Maybe yours is not skinned because I've used an Energy ROM and there HTC Messaging is disabled.

At the moment I'm using Sense again with a very good looking X-mas theme. Maybe after Christmas I'll "return" to WP7.
[Windows Mobile Themes] islisis:
The pocket outlook and contacts background is definied by the "gradient" color values under the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]

There are four keys named 15, 16, 36, 37 which are the alternating left to right gradient colours. You could set all of them to a single value to get a solid background color.

I find these through a Japanese customisation software called "PocketHand"

[Touch HD General] lurkist:
My Touch HD is second hand. When Touchflo starts up, it displays a picture. At first I thought it was a hard-coded unchangable picture (it was of a blurry dog's face), but recently I've been seeing a picture of my own that I had previously deleted! My question is, where does Touchflo store it's startup-pictures (I've looked everywhere), and can they be changed manually?

Cheers
[Touch HD General] lurkist:
Bump before I lose the front page. Anyone? Surely someone has figured out how to stop inappropriate pics being displayed on startup...
[Touch HD General] CRACING:
Check if you have set background in today settings in ALL Settings.

I think you see the windows wallpaper before Touchflo starts. Touchflo 3d has its own wallpaper which loads along with the app. Its homebackground.img in windows dir. Try deleting this file and see if it makes any changes either.

Let me know...
[Touch HD General] lurkist:
OK, the picture was indeed selected in the Today settings, so I was able to change it.

Thanks very much, success!

Glad you got it. :)

Hi guys

Got an issue here and was wondering if someone can help

I have got my contact list how I want it with all phone numbers correct and all contact pictures. I have backed this up to SD card.

All of a sudden I noticed that I was missing some contacts. They had just vanished.

I have my phone set to sync with Gmail as I want to get my emails however, I have a feeling this is where the problem lies. I uploaded my saved contacts file to gmail so that my phone contacts and gmail contacts were identical. All was ok for a few hours then I noticed that contacts were missing again.

Can someone help me out? Is there a way I can sync with gmail and not contacts? I have been through all the options and turned off all sync settings (except mail) but its still happening.

Maybe this is not a sync issue and actually a problem with the phone?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobzter:
Hmmm perhaps u can try make sure your contacts r al saved in gmail correctly.. take sync off, delete al your contacts aswel as your backup in sdcard, reboot then turn sync on?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrid3:
I found when gmail sync'd back to the phone the contact pics were really low res and not worth using
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
What are you using to back up your contacts...? the installed SE backup will not backup synced contacts, and the android contact backup (you use from the contacts menu) will not backup pictures in the full x10 resolution... With a whole lot of stuffing around, I think I got the best results backing up my system with Sprite Mobile and recovering it through the SE Backup (they're both made by Sprite, but seem to have different options (one's got better backup, the other has better restore - yeah, it's odd, but worked for me, whereas any one on its own would not)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
Oh, and have you asked your girlfriend about it...? Mine frequently goes into my phone and deletes contacts she doesn't think should be in there...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybrid3:
Lol, thats funny!

The only way I have found to stop it is to completely stop syncing even with gmail and to use maildroid to get my mail instead

Hi all.

When i'm activate the portable wi-fi spot and try's to connect through it on my home pc it dosen't work.

on the phone is says that it working and every thing is good but my pc writes ''Without Internet Access''

do i need to install something on my pc?

i really need this.

Thx.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Do you have internet access on your phone?

Did you try restarting the PC?

You don't need anything installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RReeD:
I'm connecting to Wi-Fi network my phone finds and turns on the portable hotspot,

i'm not connecting to my operator network.

this can be the problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't share WiFi over WiFi. It should have been pretty clear... You didn't put attention that when you turn on the hotspot, your WiFi doesn't show "ON" anymore?

Well, in any case, that's why you see no internet connection.

You can use USB hotspot instead.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
Ok, I'm sure everyone on the forum has seen this a hundred times... But I'm a serious noob, so please help me out here.

Whenever I go to Google Maps and try to lock onto my location, it just says "Your Location is temporarily unavailable". When I first got my phone (with the first hour of getting it), I tested Google Maps and it locked onto my location fine. Only after a day later did I get this problem.

I found some GPS fix made by Eugene, and put it on my phone via USB and went to ROM manager and installed the zip file (I don't even know if that was the right thing to do lol :D)...

After that, I still get the "Your Location is temporarily unavailable" problem.

Is this a problem I can fix, or am I missing something big here...?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smutek:
Set it back to stock. I've applied the settings fix and then I tried flashing that rom - none of it made a difference on my phone.

Back to stock and I lock in under a minute, only one or two sats but at least its something.

You stated you were getting locks when you were on stock settings so it looks like your solution is obvious, go back to stock and wait patiently for a fix
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
No, I didn't get a lock before I rooted my phone at all.

meh, I don't use my GPS too often anyway, so I guess it's not a big deal.

I just feel like I'm paying for the service, so I should be getting.

w/e though... :(

Had a little spare time so converted the Spil icons for Elecont Weather.

Installation:

Must have Elecont Weather installed.

Copy file and paste into Elecont Weather\Themes folder.

Delete Love.zdx file from same folder then go into Elecont Weather, Menu, options and select Icons, Love

Think they look nicer than the standard icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PCPhil:
And now with new, improved, theme attached

New zip uploaded, hopefully solve minor graphic issues when displaying UV etc

Instructions:

Download zip file.

Change extension to ell (love.ell)

Then as post 1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshzzz2001:
thanks for sharing! elecont has been my favorite weather app and i've been looking for nicer weather icons aside from the default ones and found none. glad that you came out with this! your icons look great!
[Windows Mobile Themes] PCPhil:
Elecont have just brought out an update.

After installing repeat above procedure.

I did try calling the ell file 'spil' but didn't work. Had to use an existing file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ProjektFuze:
how to change extension?? how to use this
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshzzz2001:
i used resco explorer and changed the file extension to .ell instead of .zip.

You can also just change the extension on your PC before copying.

I can't post an .ell file on xda

Can you post a screenshot please.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshzzz2001:
Here they are.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PCPhil:
I don't know why it is doing that. :confused:

Let me look into it a bit more. I have a few ideas for a compromise solution if I can't work it out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PCPhil:
New zip uploaded. I have just used the standard Elecont red sun for the hot/UV view.

I had a problem with Elecont weather in that it would not allow me to un-install and load latest version. Only thing I could do in the end was hard reset my device (well I wanted to try a new ROM as well).

Have seen another who had same problem on Elecont support so don't think it's anything I did. Will monitor.
[Windows Mobile Themes] joshzzz2001:
thanks, good enough for me. what matters to me most are your weather icons that are really good.

it did not work for you installing the latest version and in the process, uninstalling the previous one? anyway, there's not much in the latest version, i think.
