I've had plenty of all sorts of cases. Another main reason I like the sleeve is that it keeps dirt, lint, dust and any other kind of small particle that may be in your pocket or on your desk that can (and does, somehow) get caught in between the case and the phone. I also use a stealth guard clear wrap on it.
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
Those offer only scratch protection, the screen protector is useful though. $2.85 shipping
[Nexus One Accessories] GuestK00225:
I use a gelish case from Boxwave. I like it because it fits well, isn't too big, and will still slide in/out of a pocket unlike the silicone ones. I'm not using a screen protector because I'm afraid it would make the phone difficult to use. So it's always in my pocket alone facing my leg. Not a single scratch on the screen in six months.
[Nexus One Accessories] superjammit:
the included neoprene case with the awesome Android logo on it is highly under rated... i'm so glad I stuck with it instead of purchasing a gel case or any other - those cases offer nothing in terms of protecting the nexus one from water damage.

case in point, out at a gig the other night - some bozo who was part of a group i went out with spilled half his beer (at leasy 175ml of liquid) directly all over my nexus one. if it wasn't for the neoprene case, it would have been dead for sure! take the phone out of the case, dry as the desert - the neoprene case was soaked (i squeezed out at least 100ml in beer back into the bozos bottle)

it's also pretty good protection against drops - i've dropped my nexus from a height of over a metre at least three times with no adverse damage

neoprene stock case ftw!
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
Thats a sleeve, not a case.

It does offer a lot of protection but at the cost of unnecessary extra work. You cant see the LEDs, makes it hard to hear the phone's notification/ringer.
[Nexus One Accessories] chowlala:
Using a Commuter Otterbox. First sexy case I've seen so far for the Nexus. Had it shipped all the way from the US. I live in Malaysia btw. Lol. Must say, worth every cent. Cuz I dropped my phone once and there's a few scratches. Bleh. Sadness much. The case brings back lots of joy. Lol.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
Hi there!

I'm experiencing some problems about my Android NAND installation (Froyo RLS15).

I love Android but I can't use it if I do restart or power off my phone more than 3 times.

That's what I did:

Installed the NBH loader, copied all the required files to /andboot.

Pressed center D-Pad, installed.

Pressed Quit, waited until everything started properly.

Powered off (without modifying anything) and on again.

Changed language to my locale (Spanish). Connected to my WLan.

Restarted (just in case).

Sync'd to my Google account.

Went into Market, downloaded one or two apps.

Restarted (everything fine). And now, I can use the phone. If I power it off once more, it just stop booting again.

It hangs just before the boot logo. And keeps repeating the same log from "ANDROID" to "setting volume from 256 to 5".

If I get into the installer again, and try to Backup /data (for example), yaffs hangs and shows "block 578 is bad"

Can someone help me?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
try with 2.6.25 kernel
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
I upgraded to it right now. It seems it's working everything properly! :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cav2002:
The process is right, but I'm not sure the problem comes SD card.

Did you use Ext2?

Please try take battery and SD card out and restart.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
It seems that I got it working fine for 2 or 3 days, but today hanged again and had to reinstall everything again.

I noted it's not showing the Droid animation and keeps looping the booting sequence but adding this line:

init: untracked pid XXX exited

Where XXX is a number that changes every loop.

:(

I had to restart when Market stopped working (Force close every time I entered to download some app) and then it didn't boot again.

(PS: Excuse my English again!)

Maybe the SD Card is faulty. I had some problems twice with it @WM. I formatted it and reinstalled the ROM I was using and everything was working again.

I tried EXT2 but it was too slow, and it hanged too since I had the old Kernel.

EDIT: Tomorrow I'm getting a new SDCard. I'll see what happens...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
Sorry for double-posting.

I got my new SDCard a week ago. Installed everything again and got it working fine for this week.

Today, I was trying to write a SMS and, when writing, the phone hanged everytime I pressed a key. So I powered it off and on again.

Then I started to have the same problem again, and I didn't backup'd :S

Does someone else have this problem?

EDIT: Downloaded FROYO RLS16 and installed it. Didn't wipe my data. It turned on. I don't know if this will be stable. Anyway, I'm having the WiFi problem. I'll search what can I do.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ProgMaq:
Hi Pablo, I'm spanish too.

For fix WIFI you need use this update:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=412943&d=1286175791
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
Thank you ProgMaq! Last night I urgently had to move back to WM and the only ROM I found on my PC was Stock WM6.0 Touch Cruise ROM.

Now I can say aloud: I preffer to format once a week and loose all my data than get stuck to that "nice" GUI of WM6 LOL.

I'll install RLS16 and try it out =)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
It happened again! =(

Yesterday I ran out of battery and today it started again with that damn loop.

I noted it shows the same error: "block 578 bad" and thereafter it always loops the init sequence, with those "untracked pid xxx exited" over and over..

Now I'm using FROYO RLS16 from Incubus.

And I mean it: sorry for double posting. But I don't wanna go back to WM :(

@ProgMaq: that update did it for WLAN :) Thank you very much!

@l1q1d: I'll try with the latest kernel you posted on your sig. Edited with ATools and now flashing =)

New Edit: Phone dead. If I try to wipe /data, I get BLOCK 578 error. Try to install Android again, block 576 and 64x bad (can't remember right now). Run. Force close errors, and won't boot if I shut it down. Maybe my NAND is faulty? :( Did task 29 to erase everything and flashed fresh new Kernel. Trying to install again.

Last Edit: Confirmed: NAND Faulty. Switched back to WM today and it doesn't boot :(

Will ask at ROM Development forum to ask what can I do :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] CS4:
Did Task29 solve the problem? Did you use MTTY task or ROM_UpdateUtility_task29??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
No it didn't :(

I used ROM_UpdateUtility_task29.

Anyway. I've broken my Polaris by using task 2a. DON'T DO THAT!

I read somewhere it "repairs" bad blocks. But it seems it's just on Kaiser :(

EDIT: Thanks to JockyW, my phone is alive again :)

Let's resume and figure out why this is happening :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tactical Fart:
I need to have my phone serviced. The screen is malfunctioning and will randomly "click" in an area in the lower part or all of my clicks will default to a spot with the same x coordinate but a static y coordinate, and I have to turn the screen off then back on to get it to work right. I have a warranty plan I'm about to use it.

But right now I'm running 5.0.5-DS of CyanogenMod. I need to return to stock to have the warranty seen as valid.

I've found some instructions here but they only mess with the rom. I know I need to switch the SPL (I think) and the radio firmware to stock as well. While returning to stock firmware seems as simple as it could possibly be, don't know how to return to the "normal" SPL and radio. Is it easy like flashing the rom? Do I just use the same instructions as I did when I first rooted but with different files? If so what order should I do all of this in?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
The instruction you are referring is for US T-Mobile G1...and it changes ROM, SPL and Radio...after doing that you will have Android 1.0, Radio 1.x, Stock SPL...
[Vibrant General] presence06:
So I've been using Tweetdeck beta since it was released, works fine and love it. Today I upgrade to 0.9.10 and everything works fine until this evening. It starts crashing on me when I try and update the time line (twitter and facebook). Okay, so I reboot my phone and try it again. Same thing. I have Touiteur on my phone and like that one too so I load that up and updates just fine. Close the app and do a few other things, come back and hit refresh and get the force close **** again. WTF is going on? Now I'm stuck with two twitter apps that keep crashing. And so does XDA app after I post something lol.

Any help?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Perhaps it's an app like Timeriffic that's causing it. Check your apps that could possible change the settings, if not, then you could always just make everything stock and do it over again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammallnyte:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lostinbeta:
So MIUI is an awesome overhaul but definitely not ready for use as an everyday Rom just yet. What I was wondering is if there were any way or anyone who could port just the lock screen replacement from it. And if not, are there any replacements out there like it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
I would love to see someone point to google voice instead of the default messaging app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xandr00:
I really like the lockscreen too :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b33zy682:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Olympus593:
That would be great.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dellybelly:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lostinbeta:
This was so long ago...LOL. does MIUI still use the dual slide lock screen? Last I used it was on Rodriguez and the dual pic slide was removed. Not sure if this was rom specific or through MIUI though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thatguyzx:
Miui does use the slide with phone/lock/message keys. But MIUI has an amazing theming system, so it comes in many forms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jab51270:
Not ready for everyday use?!?! Guess need to move over to another ROM seeing as how I've been using MIUI everyday for months...

Sorry, just seems like YOUR opinion. NOT a fact...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lostinbeta:
Guess you don't know how to read. This thread was posted back when MIUI was brand new and extra buggy not to mention not even fully translated. So chill out. MIUI has come a long way in a short period. I don't use it full time but I've flashed versions and its pretty nice now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daemons:
:) yes, i willbe glad to use lockscreen like MIUI *.apk version...devs,pls share it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] somboo:
Me too please share ^^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bloodflame:
Personally, I would love to see it added to Widget Locker. I already use MIUI as my daily ROM, and I love it! I also love Widget Locker, but I haven't used it in a while since I like MIUI's lock screen. Combine the best of both worlds, and we'll have a winner! :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
Well, as much as it pained me, I sold my HD2 today because there was a deal on a Vibrant that I just COULDN'T pass up ($200, one month old no contract.) I hope I like it half as much as I did my HD2, but it's the developers that deserve the credit for me keeping the phone as long as I did. Without them, it would've hit Craig's List many, many months ago. So yes, I know it's a worthless post and will probably get flamed, but this is simply to give a thousand thanks to the developers who made the HD2 and interesting handset. Now, off to watch videos on that absurdly vivid screen... ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
I really don't see that happening but we'll see I suppose. There are always HD2's on Craig's List for good prices, so if Android development comes far enough along I'll probably just pick one up. But with my Galaxy S hitting 2123 on Quadrant without Froyo... It's safe to say I'm happy with my purchase. But I do miss my HD2 just for the excitement of hitting the forums every day to see what new builds are out, heh.

I followed the instructions on flashing the rwcovery wit odin, but it got stuck, fortunatwly I flashed the stock android back and it worked, what did I do wrong?
[Droid X General] Tralik:
Since the 2.2 OTA update I've noticed a stutter when switching between screens on the home screen. The strange thing is I didn't notice it until after I did a hard reset. Initially it wasn't there until I reinstalled a couple of apps, so I'm assuming it was one of those. I believe it started after installing Dazzle. At any rate, has anyone else noticed the stutter in general?

I installed Launcher Pro Plus and quickly bought it when I realized how much smoother it is...so that solved my problem. I'm just wondering since I haven't seen anything about it.
[Droid X General] chrisanderin:
I didnt install anything afterwards and mine does that... went to local Corporate VWZ store and he said his did this in beginning and now has stopped... but he was holding a milestone when telling me this as well.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendbowden:
Why does anyone still own an eris?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
Perhaps we like the phone? Also maybe we don't want to sign a new contract with verizon and don't want to shell out big bucks for a new phone at the poor of contract price.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitaljeannie:
I have yet to find another android phone with a form factor that I like as well as the Eris. It fits well in my hand, the buttons are placed nicely and it's a great size for me & my tiny hands. With it rooted & OC'd it runs how I want. I also don't have it on a V contract, I have it on PagePlus and only download & stream when on WiFi saving me ALOT of money.

So I have a great smartphone that does all of what I need, most of what I want, and it fits me perfectly in form and function.

And that is why I still own an Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abowersq:
Didn't this Guy already post a thread like this elsewhere.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanm50:
Because they are rediculously bad ass considering you can get them on craigslist for less than $100 in some cases.

It was also a VERY popular phone so there are a lot of goodies and rom's that have been developed.

And it runs Froyo very well. So the only things a new phone can do for an Eris user is really more proc and RAM. And I don't really 'need' those things right now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Give me the money & I'l upgrade today!:D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendbowden:
I didn't repost this thread. A moderator must hasn't done this. Maybe they want you to really think about why you like your phone. I loved the Eris. I just have moved on to bigger and better things. My logic for asking the question was not to be a smart a$$, but to suggest that other Eris owners make the switch. Sorry if it offended anyone. You will not see any more posts from ME in this forum.

[About XDA developers] svetius:
As many of you may have heard, we underwent routine maintenance on our Database Server last night (9/25). Upon rebooting the Database Server, it refused to boot and all indications are that the RAID 10 (what is RAID? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID) array failed.

We have restored the Forums from a 24 hour old backup. We know this is not ideal, but at this point, the chances of recovering the failed array are slim.

We sincerely apologize for this.

Technical Info:

This maintenance was intended to boost the redundancy of our database setup and "lightening struck".

The maintenance was to update the OS and make a configuration change to allow us to introduce a slave DB server which would replicate all data on the primary DB server. We are currently running off this intended "slave server" as a master.

[About XDA developers] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Well I say in the future to prevent this issue from re-occurring that you backup prior to a maintenance as well. Getting this announcement out should be very easy how about you create a pop-up message & say its from you.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
I have never found functionality for such a "pop up" in vBulletin by default, so I think the global announcement will have to suffice. Pop-ups are never a clean solution though, and anyone using a blocker would miss it.

Nevertheless, we should be thankful it was only 24 hours max that was lost, as I have seen significantly worse data losses on websites.

Anything regarding backup policy would be in svetius' domain, but an announcement like the one at the top of every forum would seem to be the current notification for users, although only 915 people have read it so far... :rolleyes:

Yeah, for the amount of money they make on membership fees, they should have a server replicating a server replicating a server, and super-administrators on standby 24/7, and..... oh, wait, the only money they get is (I guess) whatever comes from donations and ads, so ANY redundancy is a luxury. Sure, they learned they should do a backup immediately before heavy-duty maintenance. As they said this actually happened while adding replication.
