[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I'm sorry to see you go stfwayne :-(

But I'm happy your still an Android brother of mine! :-)

Only things that I think the people here on Xda would disagree with you on the G2 being better than a Nexus One are:

1) Hard to root since it resets the phone every reboot

2) Physical keyboard might not be for everyone... as I've said before I like a phone that can slide into my front pocket without the added bulk of a keyboard making people think I have an erection =/

3) At the mercy of T-mobile to get updates and features. Gonna get gingerbread but who knows if you will get anything after that?

The G2 is a wonderful phone though I agree and pretty much think of it as a Nexus One that has traded:

A) freedom from carriers holding back OS updates and features

B) freedom to root

For:

A) physical keyboard

Thanks for taking the time to let the N1 owners know your thoughts though :)

Edit: Two things I caught reading your email are you don't like the battery life + touch sensor. For me these things are not even a consideration since:

1) I carry a tiny spare battery in wallet to last an entire day of heavy, heavy use.

2) The only games i play are emulators using a bluetooth wiimote so I don't even use the multitouch for games so the clearpad issue is overblown.

Hey, since you've got a G2 handy, maybe you can help out the folks here:

[Nexus One General] krabman:
Until it can be properly rooted and made to be my ***** its of no interest. After that it would be of interest but just isnt quite enough to get me to buy in. I'm thinking the N1 will hold me till the dual cores come along which I figure will also coincide with a new developer phone.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
You can pry my nexus from my cold dead fingers :P next phone I get will be : unbranded, 4 inch screen, keyboard (normal hinge), dual core, two cameras. But congrats on your g2, when they root that thing japanese people will point and run and scream in terror! :) Oc'd g2 > godzilla
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
CONS

No root

No custom roms

Many forced and noisy apps

MMS slideshow crap

Storage capacity LIES

I could go on, but that is enough for now... I dropped the G2 back in the mail to T-Mo, and resumed use of my N1 within a week. The G2 has potential, but massively sucks.

I think the next phone I will consider is the Droid Terminator in 2011Q1...
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I don't want a device with a keyboard...I find the Nexus One to be the perfect form factor. G2 can never be, for me. I'm keeping and using my two Nexus Ones until they die.
[Nexus One General] mjm128:
Who...says that's a bad thing...then you can just blame it on the phone! ;)

Wait, you don't like the added bulk but you carry a tiny spare battery?

I've noticed it does effect zooming sometimes, typing on the touch keyboard, and sometimes is just completely off and you have to put into standby and come back to fix it.

For me the major problems in the n1 is the touch screen issue, battery life is short, the gpu is weak, and call quality is not what i'm used to.
[Nexus One General] mcp2009:
Made the switch too and loving it. Screen does seem nicer and keyboard is great especially for my emulators. The extra weight also feels good in my hand so I see that as a pro. Still got my Nexus for gingerbread purposes and as a backup. No root is not a con and notice you said no root YET we have cyanogen, enomther, and other devs working on the G2 and we do have a rom sure its only on temp root and you gotta run terminal commands and ext partition to use it its still a rom. As far as memory goes there is 4gb just not all available to user, 1.5gb is more then enough for app storage more would be nice but not necessary and plus some ppl are saying its a kernel issue and can be fixed in OTA. In the end though I love this phone, I still lurk around the Nexus forums and right now have my nexus put away in my otterbox just incase something happens to my G2

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
You forgot the biggest Conn of all; the hinge issue that will ultimately plague ALL G2s. I went to TMO store after launch and their G2 already didn't stay in place. I held it upside down and the screen just hung from the phone. Now you may not have this issue right now but like all moving parts they will give out. Daily use of the keyboard will wear out the plastic parts of the hinges fast. So, in about two months when all the dual core hspa+ phones hit the market you'll wish you hadn't wasted your upgrade.
[Nexus One General] player911:
800mhz Processor? It even looks like the Nexus One style. Missing Colored Trackball alerts. Thickness... meh.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
trackball days are over me thinks
[Nexus One General] Arh1tekt:
Don't know about you guys but I'm playing with both! Have my N1 since spring and made it my *****. Huge thanks to Evil's Desire HD!! Also, my wife just got the G2 and we trade every once in a while. I really like both phones.
[Nexus One General] stfwayne:
Ive used the G2 more and more over the course of this week.

Updates:

-Nexus one call quality IS HORRIBLE compared to G2

-Nexus one RECEPTION is HORRIBLE compared to G2

-Nexus one battery is MODERATELY worse than the G2

Mytouch4G is going to be a joke.

You can NOT compare the craftsmanship of the G2 to the mytouch sorry.

G2 is like a macbook, mytouch line is like fisher price

i know you may say there is no comparison that is what people should realize as well...

A moderately faster processor and front facing camera isnt going to poop on the G2

That's why alot of you guys with a Nexus should take advantage of the chance to trade for a G2 on craigslist and get a phone with a higher resale value that will hold its 400 resale for at least 6-8 months whereas in 6-8 months the Nexus One will barely fetch 200-250.

Thats a big difference. And you get the benefit of using a faster phone that has better call quality and reception.

What's not to like...THE HINGEEEEEEEEE

STOP WHINING! there is nothing wrong with the hinge. The hinge problems are HATER PROBLEMS.

WAH WAH WAH when i hold my phone UPSIDE DOWN the keyboard comes out.

WHO IN THE FARX uses a phone upside down.

Be realistic people and STOP HATING
[Nexus One General] dellybelly:
I'm glad your happy with your purchase, but how can you advocate getting this device without any mods/unlocks available for it, and on XDA of all places.

As of right now, I would gladly keep my Nexus one with the openness over most devices with better specs; how much fun is a stock device to play with for people who like to tinker?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Those aren't the only reasons to not switch.

There are those of us who just don't want keyboards. Or want bigger screens. Or both :cool:

I'm waiting for a 4.3" Android touch-only phone on T-Mobile (not the HD2).
[Nexus One General] teleknEsis:
Wow, aside from the keyboard, you just described my next phone to a T. I absolutely love my Nexus One and so far nothing has even tempted me. I like the size of the Evo's screen, but honestly it feels kinda sluggish compared to my N1. I think the Motorola T2 *might* be my next phone if Google doesn't try and do another "direct from Google" device. We shall see.....
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Stfwayne: Don't be a troll

Glad you like your G2 but its pretty obv to me, based on your low post count and two main responses in this thread putting down every other phone but your own, that your just trying to illicit a heated response so chill...
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
You can't see the big picture so I will explain. Holding the phone upside down is just an example of the the higes are now. As the hinges get worn out more the phone will come apart in your pocket and if you dont grab it the right the the phone will get caught in your pocket; you'll answer the phone in your pocket or hang up on the person. Maybe the phone will catch the corners of your pocket and put more stress on the hinges. The point is in the long run you will have to put more attention into handling your phone than you should, b/c of the design.
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
I want a new phone without a keyboard.

Thanks tho
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bbe1367:
Not sure if this applies here or in the development forum but I'll give it a try in here. I know the root isn't out yet but I'm still lookong foward to using a custom rom on this awesome phone. I have never used the cyanogen rom and would to know some key feautures about it. Also I kind of want to use the desire rom as well, I've never used sense and that commercial for that new sense looks pretty awesome, anyone else gonna use that? Or maybe something other than those two? Thanks and sorry again if this belongs in development.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1026247:
Android Devs / chefs,

I was wondering if someone could help me with a Bluetooth incompatibility issue. The Bluetooth in my Mazda CX-9 has never worked with the Froyo builds available on this site. The Bluetooth audio works fine for music playback but the phone crashes when I try to place a call. I figured loosing Bluetooth was an OK price to pay for having a great phone.

Then the EVO Sense builds started coming and suddenly my Bluetooth works great. I assumed it was a difference between the EVO kernel and the first gen kernels and the EVO code base "Fixed" the incompatibility.

In the past week several new /updated builds have been released that combine the EVO kernel with stock android or Cyanmod based builds. I thought they were going to be the answer to my prayers, but unfortunately the old incompatibilities are back.

Now I know your all thinking why don't you just run the sense based builds. the problem is that I don't like Sense. If I wanted Sense on my phone i wouldn't have ever moved off of Winmo.

So here is my question. I am not a developer but I have a workable knowledge of Linux and I have a desire to fix this issue. I understand that it is unlikely that any developers happen to have the exact same vehicle / Bluetooth setup as I do, so how I can provide useful error logs / dump files / ??? to the development community so someone much smarter then I can work this issue?

I am willing to do my part, provide error files, test new versions, donate to a solution. I just want to know the best way to get involved.

Thanks for the help / guidance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v-b-n:
So using CM builds (like HyperDroid) and a Nexus based kernel (like michyprima r11) also your bluetooth doesnt work ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1026247:
Correct. The only builds that have worked are EVO based sense builds.
[HD Mini General] rayleterleir:
OK, I know i'm not going to get anywhere, because I have scoured the web for this, but i'll ask anyway.

I am seeking a barebones ROM for the HD Mini. Barebones as in without Sense or the HTC oem stuff. Just a clean, vanilla WinMob 6.5 ROM. I have tried to make my own and asked for help making my own, but i've gotten nothing but unstable, corrupted ROMs. Does anybody have a barebones ROM or at least a guide for building one? I'm reaching the end of my tether and i'm about ready to turf this phone.
[HD Mini General] barmalini:
You might as well donate your phone to the Android bounty for the Mini, so the devs will have something to test their builds with :)

maybe not

Maybe they are just testing the system. It is back to 3g now=/. Hopefully it will stay up soon.
[EVO 4G General] glcK23:
Ontario (Inland Empire), is picking up a weak 4G signal. I had it pick up a signal by my home (by 10 & 15 fwy), near Ontario Mills Mall, I was able to do a speedtest before the 4G signal was lost, it did 6Mbps download, 2Mbps upload, not bad for a weak signal with 1 bar... Seems like the IE is going to get 4G pretty soon!!!

[Android Software Development] jzpeepz:
Some of my users are having an issue since their Incredibles and Evos got the 2.2 update. I just need some help debugging since I don't have access to either of those devices.

How you can help...

1) Install attached app

2) run this: adb logcat com.pocketjourney.media.StreamingMediaPlayer:E *:S

3) open app and click "Start"

4) let it go until you see a few errors that say "current position:"

5) post those errors

Thanks in advance. I would be willing to help anyone in need of some Captivate debugging help.
