please i would realy need another rom because this one lag-s!! :(
[General Questions and Answers] Mister B:
Have a look at the one in my Signature.

Also look at newer TAEL 2.5 sense & Energy ROMs.

TAEL ROM is smooth for me but user tweaking & the ability to read instructions & threads makes the diference between good & bad user experiences !

Tarkin Keyboard button driver is a must, will list some more stuff when have 10 minutes to spare, in middle of catching flight so just a quick reply.
[General Questions and Answers] digital_critic:
oh, thank you very much! i do appreciate it! but unfortunate, i am a noob. i have never flashed a phone. all i had till now where symbian phones. this is first WM and HTC experience for me :).

TG01 Roms

Hi I have been roaming around this forum for a few years now.

I too have a TG01, The best bit of advise I can give is to stay away from any win7 roms, the TG was not designed to ever run it. Win7 is very slow.

There are some very good roms out there, I have found that anything from mirolg tends to be stable.

With regards to flashing a new Rom Check out the "how to Guide" in the TG01 section (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654674) if you are still finding it a little hard have a search for the problem, but if you still cant work it out drop me a PM.

Hope you have a good time finding your perfect Rom.

Gingerchristopher
[General Questions and Answers] Mister B:
We were all virgins to flashing at one point.

Do some research & follow guidelines for 6.5 install & run in period from energy & all should be well ! quite simple really ...

In my opinion 2.1 sense is better option on touch pro but some of the newer 2.5 sense ROMs are supposedly fast but do consume more memory resources & battery power.

Just wondering for current X10 owners. What kind of reception strength do you guys get using an app like GPS status when GPS is set to standalone without any AGPS assist at all.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinamon:
I have searched the Forums and I have seen this issue addressed but I haven't found any advice that will help in my particular case. I purchased a Nexus One with Froyo 2.2 used off Ebay. I had read reviews, watched videos, checked specs, and thought this was the phone I wanted. I paid $500. It arrived in good condition and at first I thought I had made the right move. It wasn't long before I discovered the Touchscreen issue and started turning up posts validating my concerns. I have found that if I turn, tilt, angle, or otherwise reposition my phone, the touchscreen does eventually work without a reboot. Toggling the power button does not work for me, nor did removing and reseating the battery. Since I did not buy the phone new I have no warranty. It is not clear to me whether or not this can even be repaired - some posts seem to indicate that not all Nexus One phones have this issue - some indicate that all do. I don't know if I've just thrown $500 out the window or if I have some options. I own two businesses and am a heavy phone user. I need a phone that works all the time and I can't afford to miss calls because the slider won't slide. Sadly one of my businesses is failing and eating up every cent of profit from the other, so money is a huge issue for me.

Please don't accuse me of not searching the forums - I have. Regardless, I still do not know what to do. Is this phone fixable? Can someone please direct me?

Thanks,

A very sad and disappointed Susan :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There are 2 different touch screen issues. Which one are you having?

1) The presses register lower than needed, so you miss the correct point where you wanted to press. Plagues all N1s, seems to be reduced by the newest radio (Korean 5.12) for whatever reason, pressing power button twice (once for sleep and once for wake again) cures it, always.

2) Touch screen becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes screen doesn't turn off or doesn't turn on. It might be the failure that I'm checking right now. Didn't confirm it completely yet, but looks like latest kernels (I tested intersectRaven's 20101025_XXXX one) cure it. Tested with CM6.1.0-RC1 on friend's Nexus that would hang several times a day when using stock FRG83 (I can't test myself, can't bring my Nexus to hang, succeeded only once).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] productofusa:
Warranty

I've read on these forums that the 1 year warranty on Nexus One is on the phone not the purchaser, you might want to contact HTC and see if your device is still under warranty. Its a PIA but the turn around time for most people including myself is really quick, here's hoping its less than a year old!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
There aren't any N1s over a year old.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
FYI.

I have never had any touchscreen trouble with my N1, I ordered mine during the N1 launch event as soon as the website was up so its a pretty early one.

I've had loads of problem with the capacitive buttons though.

I _have_ had my N1's screen _seem_ unresponsive, but in each case I've been able to connect adb and see that in actual fact the framework was locked in mid-crash (and that's only happened to me maybe 5 times since I've had it, ignoring when I've been running Cyanogenmod nightlies )
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
Hey, I heard that installing CM6 fixes it for a lot of people, I wouldn't know from experience though, because I installed CM6 before even turning the phone on when I got it =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipocrazy:
Nope. the touchscreen issue is still there but it really does not bother me. It only crops up once in a blue moon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Make sure your not accidentally touching any part of the screen when you slide to answer. The slide will not register if your palm is touching the glass.

If your CPU is 100% used the same thing can happen.

Paying 93% of the retail cost don't seem like a good deal for a used phone. (its 535+25+tax from google)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownrebelx:
In CA, Mine was $580 total - shipped. That's only 86%

Seeing as tax for me within CA was 53 dollars (10% ugh :mad:), total for the "DEV" phone today would have been 613 dollars. A N1 for 500 bucks even is 81%, not 93%
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
Installing a custom ROM fixed the problem for me. I have never used CM6, but I don't have the problem with either Enomther's or MIUI. I recommend you try both!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
$500 is 93% of $535 since you're not playing tax at ebay anyway. Shipping is free from google.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinamon:
Thank you so Much

I have been traveling on business and until now have not had a chance to read all your answers and reply. I have the 2nd problem described, that the screen becomes completely responsive. Sometimes it helps to turn the phone from portrait to landscape, but sometimes not. I have to admit that while I thought that turning it off and on again did not work, I am now finding that it does usually fix the problem.

As far as buying it used, I would have preferred to buy it new, but when I tried the Google site announced that Google was no longer selling the phone. Anyplace else I found it new, the price was close to $700.

At any rate, now I have some options to try. I'm not sure how to install a new ROM but I am sure the instructions are here somewhere and I will search for them. When I bought it, it already had Froyo 2.2 installed by the previous owner.

I will also contact HTC with the IMEI number to see if it is still under warranty.

You all have given me such great advice that I have a lot more research to do. I'm exhausted tonight having just returned from my trip but I will be researching and hopefully attempting the ROM update over the weekend. Stay tuned. :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCinToronto:
As in earlier post, there aren't any N1's over a year old. As long as your water strips and void stickers are intact you should be good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbr7rr:
I have a fairly new n1 (EU vodafone shipped with FRF91)

I had some touchscreen errors before on cyanogenmod 6.1rc1 with their kernel

With intersects ravens kernel (2.6.35.7_AVS-CM_BFS_20101104_2252) it seems fixed :)

I've been having nice results with the Dolphin HD browser so far.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Dolphin hd 4.0 and firefox mobile
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dhanjel:
Firefox Mobile for me, feels very fast but the fonts seems blurry sometimes.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zyborg:
Dolphin HD. Has the option to add AdBlocker... among many other add-ons.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dogei22:
I'm running Skyfire for the moment, it seems faster than the stock browser. I rried Dolphin as well but Skyfire seems a bit more stable and faster to me, but I have no benchmarks to back up my impression.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Thomas.A:
Dolphin HD all the way :-)

Tried FireFox two days ago, but it was slow loading pages. The stock browser and Dolphin HD loads 50-80% faster.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] eskasi:
Firefox mobile is fast...but the fonts are blurry because it takes a while to render especially if zooming.

Skyfire didn't seem as quick for me when zooming in.

I still ended up going back to Dolphin HD... I love the gesture support and use more of the add ons like shake to switch tabs, etc. I also think their interface is uch more refined ;)

This is on both stock browser and also Dolphin HD
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] eskasi:
Just downloaded Firefox 4 beta 2... just released.... it seems to be MUCH faster than beta 1 which I only tried yesterday. Rendering of text and zooming is quicker also. I can't seem to sync with the desktop version though....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ritdaw:
Dolphin HD all the way
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexVallat:
Does it support Flash yet, though? If it does, I'll take another look. Otherwise, I'm trying to decide between Dolphin HD and xScope 6. xScope is a lot prettier, with the glaring exception of bookmarks, which it handles horribly - generating a sort of dynamic web page to list them rather than having a proper UI. No bookmark folders either.

I can't find any speed comparisons between Dolphin 4 and xScope 6, but subjectively they don't feel much different.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ppau0822:
anyone know if there is a way to get the tabs browser on the sgs captivate? the tabs browser has the windows button next to the address bar and would be more convenient than stocks. (need stock due to some weird rendering issue with some sites)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Mate its just the stock android 2.2 browser with a few minor and mostly cosmetic changes.

But I've found its considerably slower (in opening web pages) than the browser on my 2.1 milestone.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nomad2000:
Xscope6 is the best choice for me
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] shaggles:
Another vote for xscope. Its the best designed browser in terms of usability, speed and features. Would love to have plugin support though. I would consider switching to Dolphin HD if the interface wouldn't be so ugly (and oversized). Looks like an mp3 skin from 5 years ago. The fullscreen toggle in xscope rocks as well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexVallat:
I agree, the xScope interface is much nicer than Dolphin HD's (except for bookmarks, which are horrible in xScope). It's missing some functionality, though, like the popup to choose whether to view a youtube video in the browser or in the youtube app, and autocomplete suggestions when entering a URL/search terms.

At the moment, I'm leaning towards Dolphin HD instead. With the full-screen toggle turned on, the UI is usually out of the way, and with the Orange theme installed it isn't quite as ugly (no where near xScope niceness, though). The bookmarks and history are much better implemented than xScope, and downloads as system notifications are nicer than the xScope auto-refreshing 'downloads' web page system.

I do think that Dolphin HD gets a bit pushy about recommending addins to you.

Overall, though, with a bit of a UI redesign (copying Firefox, if I had my choice), it would be very good indeed.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Im hoping in the next two months i will be using firefox and opera mobile only. The former currently in beta and ok and the latter will arrive next week. Does anyone know whqt the prospects for flash will be on opera?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] turt:
The new Firefox Mobile beta2 is better looking than the first beta, so they are heading towards the right direction! Now if only they would add Flash support, and if keyboard T9 was activated in textboxes, this would be my main browser...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexVallat:
Agreed; but I would add that they must also reduce the startup time. Other browsers start instantly, Firefox 4b2 takes 4 seconds to load - that's unacceptable.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] spekesel:
Wow. I find 3 seconds unacceptable. If its 4, they should throw themselves on their swords for failing so completely
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] snudel:
same reason for me to not use dolphin.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
Dolphin HD and xScope are clearly the fastest-starting browsers available. Agreed, the tab UI in Dolphin is fugly, but to be honest the tabs disappear when browsing/reading so it's not a big deal. The pinch-zoom and tap-zoom (automatic column width adaptation) are killer-features. I tried Opera Mobile and was disappointed by the poor text rendering / zooming. The UI in Firefox is pretty nice, shame about the general slugginess.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
I don't know what your problem is with dolphins interface. I agree its not all that pretty, but in fullscreen I rarely have to look at it. And of course the ability to block all flash elements by default is very, very useful.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] rockky:

I have 6 browsers installed, I'm slightly disappointed though that Firefox (Fennec) wouldn't load some flash content on a page I was viewing, I had to use the built in browser and it worked fine.

Not sure if it will display in Dolphin but it's nice just over cluttered, I prefer Firefox for standard browsing.

Atomic Web???

Personally, I'm more concerned with security in a browser.

I'd love to see a version of Atomic Web Browser released for Android.

Tons of customization in a tabbed browser that was pretty snappy and most importantly... it locks!!

Mirin, hands down.

It's fast. At least as fast as Dolphin, but without Dolphin's many crashing bugs.

Mirin has tremendous levels of customization. One of my favorite features is the option to have persistant forward, back, and reload gadgets at the bottom of the screen. They can also be set to only appear when you select the screen. Persistant forward / back /reload is a must for a tablet, I'm truly surprised it wasn't included in the stock browser.

It supports Flash, customizable User Agents (to make sites believe you're viewing them from a desktop browser), and has many other tablet friendly customizations.

The only feature I'm really missing is site specific customization. The ability to customize user agents, zoom levels, flash permissions, and all the rest on a site-by-site basis. No other Android browser seem to have such site specific features yet either.
