[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebluest:
Hello.

I have a nexus one and the power button is (really) broken.

I need to hard reset the phone, but without power button it seems difficult to confirm "restore" choice from the list.

There is a tool on windows or linux to hard reset my phone?

Or an other way?

Plz, plz, plz
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
What do you mean by hard reset?

If you want to reset to factory, you can go to home>menu>settings>privacy>factory data reset

If you want to do a full power off, power on cycle, you can let the phone run down to the end of its life and then it will shut itself down (there may be a widget or a battery pull that can shut it down also, not sure). Once the phone is powered down, plug it into a power source. (leave it for a few minutes if you did the battery drain method). Then while the phone is still plugged in, remove the battery cover and remove the battery, wait a few seconds then put the battery back in. Wait a few seconds and the phone will boot up. If it doesn't boot up, repeat the battery pull and insert until it does.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebluest:
to do a hard reset :

press power button + trackball + volum down;

then the phone will reboot with a special menu, choose recovery and confirm by pressing the power button.

I want to do this, but ... I don't have a power button ...

So, what can I do to have the same result without p.b. ?

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
You can download terminal emulator from the market.

type the command "reboot recovery" press enter.

Also, you can download an app called Quickboot from the market, it will allow you to choose reboot, reboot recovery, or reboot bootloader.

Are you rooted?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebluest:
Hello A.B.

First, yes I'm rooted.

But there is still something I didn't say before, my phone is locked and I don't remember the schema and the recovery with the gmail address doesn't work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
Ok got it. You will have to use ADB via the Android SDK.

The same recovery command will work in ADB. Go to command prompt, cd into your sdk tools directory. Run (<adb devices> first to confirm connection) then <adb reboot recovery>

This will take you to Aman Ra or Clockwork where you should be able to navigate with trackball and the VOL DN.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubyajaysmith:
Unsure but if you are needing to use recovery I can vouch psfreedom recovery uses track ball instead of power button to select / for back / etc. Hope it helps.

Edit : PS_my power button has good n bad days as well. Might I also recommend quick boot and lock widget from market if anyone has this problem.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prats695:
I am having a smartphone of different company but facing the same problem. My smartphone has got screen-locked. My smartphone's power button is broken, and also it doesn't interact when plugged-in a computer or laptop. It just keeps on charging. My laptop, too, never displays that a new device/driver has been added to it.

Hence, I can't hard reset, am not able to open the phone and can't use any external software to make it follow any commands.

Is there any other way, like controlling my phone or hard resetting it via wifi from my laptop.

If such an method exists, I would really like your help.

Skype for Android has been released on the Android market. Unfortunately, the app does not officially support Galaxy S devices. So some users are experiencing difficulties logging in.

Anyone get it working too? Any problems?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] artisticcheese:
Yes, there is issues with 2.1 (it's noted several times on blog post on skype website). It does work fine on leaked 2.2.

My question though, I used market enabler to download I would guess european version of Skype (I emulated T-Mobile AT). Would that mean that I can make skype calls over 3G in US (since default install in US is limited to Wi-Fi connections only for voice calls). I don't have any contacts online so can not test it.

This is documented limitation for users in US. Call only over WiFi not 3G. No such limitation in other countries. Wondering how they are figuring out where you are.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] faroid:
Why would it need access to my personal information (contacts...)! No thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
It tells you why. Do you bother to read before you install? It wants access to your contacts so you can call their cell phone or landline number from your skype account if you've purchased one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] faroid:
I did read. It only tells you it requires access (read & write) but doesn't say why. Anyway, I was thinking maybe we can use it for basic instant messaging and voice chat just like the desktop application (which doesn't have access to my contacts). I don't like being forced to expose my contacts to Skype, Gmail, or others. This should always be optional.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
The access to your contacts is conditional. It doesn't just go in there without you knowing. It asks your approval before hand.

ADW rocks, I can now install any of the builds - stability and features should (and are now) be my only concern :) YAY! I was thinking I was going to be stuck with MDeejays Evo 1.6 final build ebcause the theme is so slick...

As to why it's "Slowed down" if you look at the version numbers of the builds, MDeejay has obviously been converting entire ROMs to the HD2 - HD, Z, LEX, EVO etc. A straight conversion may take skill but trouble shooting a ROM or a Kernal takes TIME (and occasionally source code).

I have been enjoying the rush :) keep it up :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kchris:
I think if the devs do have time because they're waiting for something they could debug the music stuttering showed up while using the EVO based kernels. There are many recommendations to use faster card, reformat with 64k cluster size but this is only a workaround (and besides it hasn't solved my problem), not the solution. Why sould I reformat my card to be able to play music seamless - if i change the kernel the problem is gone..?? There are many-many post showing that card type (faster etc) and cluster size (there is a poster tested SIX different microSD cards) is not the problem but the I/O handling of the EVO kernel.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Biso007:
I second SD boot as well.

I 'm sure NAND version is supposed to be faster but as my HD2 is a work device, having WM there is a fall-safe for me instead of re-flashing once there is something wrong especially with the early NAND builds.

I 'm sure as well that once the current problems are solved with a NAND version it should be easy to port it to the SD builds.

Good luck to our HD2 heros :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zole2112:
I totally agree, I don't understand the obsession with getting a nand to flash. Coming from the G1 the thing I wanted most was to be able to easily switch between roms. With booting from sd all I have to do is swap out my sd for another with a different android rom and reboot. With a nand you have to flash your phone any time you want to change your android version, much more of a pain.

Oh, I also love knowing I have Winmo there just in case, my HD2 is the ultimate in flexibility! I'm hoping we can also boot Win 7 from the sd.

Also, I cannot help but get the impression a lot of people seem to think NAND-based Android will somehow instantly solve many issues that current builds have. Personally, I'd be very surprised if the first batch of NAND-based builds don't come with their own unique problems.

So very true. The current method of trying ROM is a lot safer. The only time I had to flash was to change my Radio to support Linux. Once done I have tried a few builds. But am glad I can go back to WM. That said my phone has been up for almost 3 days with mattc 1.8/hastrain 7.1 and before that was 5 days mattc 1.8/hastrain 4.1 . So the fact I only turned my phone off to try a new kernel shows how stable the current builds are getting.

Hey all!

Probably you know an app, or someone has the skills to create this one.

I'd be happy to have a PC(Win7)+Android program combo which decreases the computer volume (to a desired level) when a call is incoming, optionally when sms arrives, and probably shows a notification at the taskbar on the pc. (incoming call from $a, sms from $b)

It would be good if it could connect on WiFi since, Phone's bluetooth slot is used by the headset. (or is it possible to connect more devices at the same time on Android 2.2? if yes, connecting on bluetooth can be also a solution if easier)

I googled and didn't find such app.

If it would need rooting, it's not a problem.

How much would it cost?
