all you need to do is root and throw on miui and you have yourself the most expensive iphone clone ever made. ._.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
the g1 was a tank with good build quality, at least it seemed so to me
[Nexus One General] smachine:
I guess im one of those pansies. Its just that alot was expected from this phone if it was to call itself a Nexus. I dont like using cases on my devices, farthest i go with my devices is putting on a invisible shield or putting them in a sleeve. I appreciate something that looks unique/ solidly built. I just dont like the samsung design because it looks too much of a iphone 3gs knockoff. The original Motorola Droid had a nice and unique design that made it standout, same with the N1, G2, and Legend. Hell, samsung could have tried to make something that looks a little like the Seabird prototype phone : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG3tLxEQEdg&feature=player_embedded#!

Just because all the new phones are dominated by huge screens, doesnt mean that they cant try to make them stand out a little.
[Nexus One General] bcpk:
I think HTC should be proud of what a good job they did with the N1 design, compared to what we see now from Samsung.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
The g1 may be ugly too some, but at least it's no Iphone wannabe. And the g1 is pre-Nexus, so why go there?

The Nexus one's design was built from scratch, no other phone looked like it prior to its release. Now you expect me to accept Samsung to take the Galaxy S design and slap the Nexus name on it? That's just lame. Plastic or no, Samsung should have tried to do a different design for it.

Edit: Hey guys, forget about the Nexus S, let us put our faith into customizing our own Synapse Phones.
[Nexus One General] Segnaro:
It stands out by having a sexy Super AMOLED screen & stock Gingerbread. :cool:
[Nexus One General] colins:
cheap looking phone, like those fakes from China....disappointing.
[Nexus One General] Amritttt:
nice i like it
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
+1 I'm damn eager to see how these phones will turn out...probably will be my next phone!
[Nexus One General] shook187:
Would you guys be complaining if it had this design

http://i.engadget.com/2010/11/11/exclusive-samsung-flagship-phone-with-gingerbread-and-huge-di/
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
true that. Like your answer! its just way too plastiky and has that glossy pattern exactly like the galaxy s series. BOOOOBOOOO Google for choosing SAMSUNG. Google should have been stricter on their own device like Microsoft's requirements for their WinPho 7 devices. this is just disappointing.
[Nexus One General] sabo2000:
Why?

Sorry to all the Galaxy S lovers out there but, think about it when was the last time you saw Samsung update anything, S lines where suppose to get Froyo awhile ago, lets not even think about the Behold meltdown.

With no HSPA+ and no updates ever seen....again sorry to all of you who went out and got a plastic $500 paperweight, that is all this will be a few months after it comes out.

I will stick with my GOOGLE Nexus One!
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
haha wtf !!!!!
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
do you even know what you're saying?
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
I don't understand all the complaints about the plastic shell. Most of the shell on the Nexus One is plastic, too. There's just a small amount of aluminum present to protect the edges of the screen, but otherwise the bulk of the shell is plastic to minimize antenna interference and make the battery cover easy to remove.

Just because plastic is associated with cheapness doesn't mean it's a poor material for building a cell phone, and if you want the best signal possible, it's best to ditch metal components anywhere you can. And if it wasn't a good shock absorber, why are most phone protector cases made out of ABS and silicone?

Get over yourselves.
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
now if THAT is real...that's more like it. THAT should be the nexus followup.
[Nexus One General] androidlicious:
I think so too... I didn't like the Galaxy S because it looked very plastic. Reading through the reviews online of the Galaxy S, a lot of people mentioned that the phone is very plasticky.
[Nexus One General] suhas_sm:
That looks like a fake picture. Another iPhone rip off.
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
Why couldn't it be made by HTC?

:(

No thanks!
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
I loved the Nexus One too, but you guys all talk about build quality yet have you seen how poor HTC has built their devices lately? As for the N1, that back cover is plastic with some soft touch layered on it. The loud speaker on my N1 was terrible and crackled if I played a song or video. The multi-touch is all sorts of messed up. People reported that some of the exterior paint was flaking off, too.

I've dealt with HTC for a long time, just like many others and we all know they aren't the perfect example of build quality.

As for this Samsung Nexus S, yeah the exterior looks pretty cheap. All they need to do is coat the plastic with that soft touch material and it would look much better. The bezel is too large as well. I don't like all that extra plastic surrounding a 4 inch screen.
[Nexus One General] Chad_Petree:
totally agree with you, soft touch and SMALLER BEZEL PLEASE!
[Nexus One General] kshwetabh:
Looking very cheap. Love my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] Zenoran:

[Nexus One General] bigmike2424:
I know people dont like the plastic and I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but the whole back cover is one piece, would it be possible for a company to just manufacture a better replaceable back cover?
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
On box is written Nexus 2 and not Nexus S :confused:

[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
I had a galaxy s and trust me the poor build quality is the least of its problems. Laggy performance, not enough ram (yeah it says on paper it has 512 but in reality there's barely over half available to use in the latest froyo roms ), GPS that doesn't work properly and more bugs than you can shake a stick at.

This is bad news for the nexus line and no mistake. Ill be keeping my n1 for a while yet, and this p.o.s. isn't going to be featuring anywhere on my radar ever.

I will not forgive Samsung for the junk they have sold me in the past, all of which is utterly worthless when sold on (my sgs was worth less than half its rrp when I sold it just 4 months in - the n1 is over twice as old with worse on paper specs yet holds its own on resale value - got to ask yourself why that is).

Sorry Google, but I'm oooooot!
[Nexus One General] Amritttt:
i know its tooooooooooooooooo early to ask but will it be available all over the world or they'll sell it through carriers in US
[Nexus One General] cam_hamlin:
Ill pass on the Nexus S and will be hoping for a "Nexus 2" if u get my drift...I might dig on a Synapses first if they hold to be true...
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
If I ever buy this I'm taping off the Google emblem and giving this thing a matte finish. Phone designers, matte is so much nicer... brushed aluminum isn't bad either.
[Nexus One General] r0bby666:
The google writing is fake

look this:
[Nexus One General] Cookiekaikai:
HTC Rocks..only HTC should make Nexus XXX
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
I will get a case just like my nexus... I will never see the back plastic finish, just like I don't see my nexus back plastic finish.
[Nexus One General] flywithme:
Why even worry for software updates?

Nexus One was never updated by HTC, it has been google.

So why bother about Samsung?

For me, if this is dual core and it is coming before Christmas, i am definitely getting it.
[Nexus One General] j.bruha:
It's also missing the "TM" after the e in the Google logo. I was just looking at those two details today myself.

I also noticed the keyboard in the background says "Samsung Corporation". All this info makes for some very juicy rumors indeed. I'm hoping this was the original design that was scrapped, allegedly.
[Nexus One General] smachine:

More support that the Nexus S can pack in a Orion dual core cpu
[Nexus One General] :
I just wanted to mock and ridicule anyone who claimed "fake" cause there was no "tm" on the phone.

=P
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
so you knew it was real with 100% confidence?
[Nexus One General] :
No, I just found the "tm is missing = fake" logic ludicrous, is all.
[Nexus One General] lewy10:
I wish the Nexus S had a micro SD slot an also built in 16 GB. :)
[7 Mozart General] Mateo97120:
I now have this phone for a week and I'm globally satisfied, it's reactive, good navigation, htc quality... but it seems that the autonomy is very bad. For instance, I fully charged it and unplugged it at midday, I sent 5 or 6 SMS, 15min of navigation, no Wifi or bluetooth activated and I already have to charge it. Hardly 7-8h of autonomy for a high-end phone, it a shame..

I hope it comes from a poor optimization of Windows Phone 7 and we will have better results soon...

Do you experience the same issue?
[7 Mozart General] AngryNil:
No major GPS usage?

GPS & WiFi are the main battery drainers. Intensive use of 3G / apps also contribute. Reviewers are still holding with full day statements without much GPS or WiFi usage.
[7 Mozart General] Mateo97120:
No I almost never use GPS on my phone. Today I've disabled 3G to see if it's better (it should be). Nevertheless I've read a few reviews telling that the processor could be responsible for this as it's an old generation one and not really power efficient.
[7 Mozart General] AngryNil:
From a few texts and 15 minutes of navigation, I find it hard to believe the device drained primarily in standby before 7 hours.

I know some people who said that it seems the life got better after a few charges, but you say you've used it for a week.
[7 Mozart General] chex13:
That's weird, I get almost no batt drain unless I use the net/apps or make phone calls. It's midnight right now, and after a few sms today my batt is still at about 90%.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JPoole1059:
can be loaded onto any rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rUsTyRuSs:
Be careful. If I'm not mistaken xda treats posting swype as warez since it is licensed software. Not sure how this works since the G2 is licensed to have swype. I would like to have swype on the sense Rom as well...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] thinkjason:
I want swype on betterkeyboard. Give me the best of both worlds.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sv3nt3k:
Believe it or not, that's one of the main reasons I don't want to fully switch to Sense. I'm absolutely loving Swype.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rUsTyRuSs:
I've been on sense since evil dropped his flashable .zip. so far its amazing, but losing swype and battery drains are bothering me. Can't wait till 6.1!! Hopefully rc1 comes out this week.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chewy106:
Is Sense incompatible with Swype? If I loaded the Sense ROM, can I drop the Swype apk that came with the G2 originally back on top of it? It was one of the first things I dumped when perm root was released, knowing I'd want it on other ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rUsTyRuSs:
I have been trying to get it to work, but it just force closes. The g2 is licensed to have swype, but apparently the DZ is not. I was able to load a working version found online, but once opened it says trial has ended please upgrade...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Okawa:
I actually have a working version of swype that will work on Sense. Well it worked on my Nexus Ones Sense.

I know the rules are pretty strict here regarding giving out the APK but come on people our devices are licensed with it so we already basically bought a copy of the software when we bought the phone >.>
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Swype is not allowed to be posted onto XDA.....if you need to re-install it sign up on their site for the installer. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
How can i get back to a rom w/o sense, post OTA, and keep root?
[G2 and Desire Z General] legendary1022:
You should have done a nandroid backup that you could restore to. There is a rom in development thread that will help you

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
only one i see is pre ota
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
Youve gotta flash the pre ota one then the ota as the ota isnt a full rom.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smok3yjk:
So I went out and bought a 2nd USB cable to leave at work to charge my phone. But for some reason the USB cable I bought doesn't charge the phone...instead it drains the battery..??? The light is on and the icon shows it is charging when I have the USB cable connected and I can even mount the SDcard with it. But the battery percentage slowly goes down. The USB cable that came with the phone works fine without any issues.

Is there something special about the stock USB cable? Do I have to buy a certain type of cable to make charging work?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
I bought another two cables, even used a Motorola USB cable but never noticed that... it never happened to me.

My guess is:

Fact:

- charging through the pc USB port is so slow, to get full charge you need 6-8 hours compared to 1.5-2 hours through the wall..

Scenario:

You are using your phone or running heavy application while charging it so it drains more battery than charging ..

Just a guess.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tat2dguy73:
I have checked out the other threads and nothing has worked that i have found. I bought a used mytouch 3g that i hoped i could fix. the problem is that when you turn it on all i get is a red screen saying vodafone. it is a tmobile phone, i can get to the fastboot screen but no recovery and no boot. i have tried to load the system image, data, and stuff through fastboot from an old nandroid backup file i had from my original mytouch that i had lost but it keeps saying failed to verify signature. i have tried loading a new sappimg file but it keeps saying no image or wrong image. I have tried this with and without a goldcard. i don't know what else to try, nothing has worked.

my phone info is:

sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on h

hboot-1.33.9990 (sapp30000)

cpld-10

radio-3.22.20.17

may 8, 2009

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
First of all, wrong section. This belongs in General (where it'll probably be moved soon - Hi Binary!)

Second, what the hell kind of SPL is that?! Are you sure the numbers are right? I've never seen it.

Third, wrong radio for your device - 3.22 is the 32A (like the Rogers Magic) radio.

Can you boot into Recovery? With the phone powered down, hold down Home and Power.

You should be able to fix it with a proper goldcard and a sappimg from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=659403
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hedcayce:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Hi! :D

Strange that the OP mentioned that he searched all over yet he somehow missed the General section. How did that happen?

I've never heard of that spl so I'm not going to trash this in case it's something new and unheard of.

So... in conclusion I will simply move to General and send a pm the the OP stating that I moved it to General.
[General Questions and Answers] jann32:
i don't want to loose any of my data or apps, but i want to have a new ROM. i'm just wondering if the wipe option is necessery when loading your new Rom on your device?
[General Questions and Answers] redpoint73:
Would help if you stated what OS and device you are talking about.

But in general, no. Flashing ROMs formats the memory. Even if you could keep data on your phone, you wouldn't want to. It would almost certainly cause problems with the new ROM.

There are easy ways to backup personal data when you flash.
