[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikumbob:
To get froyo on my HTC desire I debranded it from Orange using a gold card a couple of months ago. Now there's a new update but I've recently changed SD cards and I no longer have the one I used as a gold card.

I still have the same gold card on my computer but will simply writing it back onto another SD card and using it in the phone when updating prevent any funny wifi errors from happening? Or do I have to use the same gold card I used when originally debranding?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Just some things I'd like to do, if anybody has any tips or knows of any apps for any of these things.. Currently I think I'm still on TnT Lite 2.0.2, planning to update this evening, I have no trouble flashing (seriously putting a zip file and editing a txt file on a micro sd card is hardly technical)..

Get /sdcard2 mounted or if there's anything like good old unix ln that can get me to make it referenced underneath /sdcard so music player and everything else will scan it for media, so I don't have to copy all my music/movies local.

Get my exchange calendar items to show up in my normal calendar (without having to setup all my apps and stuff again from scratch)

Get seperate accounts on it so my wife can have her e-mail and facebook setup for her to login, and my email and such when I login

Get it hooked up to my cell phone as a bluetooth tether to go online with my phones 3g.

Hook it to my phone by bluetooth to make it my phone while I'm at home (I'm usually fiddling with it, would be nice not to have to get up and grab my phone when I get a call)

Play matroska video

Play my win 7 recorded tv without spending time manually re-encoding it to mpeg2 (anything that would maybe stream it from my PC doing a live re-encode if anyone knows)
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
I saw a thread somwhere makin it possible to tether with rooted phone but forgot where. around here somwheres...
[G Tablet General] P_6:
That is concerning WiFi tether. There are a few of us dying to get a BT Tether solution working.
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
believe pdanet has a bluetooth tethering option, at least it did for my winmo phone back in the day. havent tried it with any of my android devices yet.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
standard def MKV video works a little better with the performance pack (2.1.0+). It's probably all software based with MKV containers, so the low res probably takes advantage of the speed bump. 720p MKV's, assuming they are h264 high profile, would still carp out.
[G Tablet General] P_6:
Tried it, they pair, but there is no connection between the devices. Basically it's as if the gTab sees no services available (which is too bad... had my fingers crossed) This is TnT Lite 2.20 mind you, not sure what would happen if the same were done on CM or Zpad...

My wishlist is-> Mouse support and BT Tethering working in TnT Lite.

After that I'm good to go.
[G Tablet General] rswindle:
What app do you watch MKV in?
[G Tablet General] rswindle:
Updating solved this one. Sweet!
[Vibrant General] Dimitri_010:
Are there any Vanilla 2.2 Roms available for the Vibrant? I really can't stand touchwiz...and Launcher Pro is good, but i still like vanilla better. If not, is there a way I can get rid of touchwiz on the Jk6 (stock) I have installed?
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
not totally Vanilla, but you can check out AOSP'ish 1.1 based on JK2. I used it till I bricked my phone HAHA>
[Vibrant General] matt_stang:
AOSPish is pretty much just a themed touchwiz... Looks a lot better but still Samsung's bull****. Check out CM6.1 beta if you want something based off AOSP. It's pretty stable and good for daily driver. Much, MUCH better than TW.. and every other Android build for that matter. Except perhaps Gingerbread :P
[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
Ehh. It may still contain touchwiz from a themer's standpoint but from an end user stand point it appears the exact same as stock android with the exception of the buttons in the pulldown. CM6.1 is probably super buggy also.
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
Exactly this :D

CM for the i9000 works very well on the Vibrant as long as you use eugene373's kernel, the JK6 modem, and all the extra stuff posted in the OP of the CyanogenMod thread here. Unfortunately, I do experience wake issues (device is responsive after sleep, won't resume, requires a 10 second power button hold to reset). Eugene's working on a better kernel (beta 4) and it should fix this issue. I tried setting the minimum CPU frequency to 200 Mhz like Eugene suggested, but that didn't help.

Here it is:

[Vibrant General] compuguy1088:
Agreed, though your latest ASOPish build does have some issues with the built in calendar app, and exchange email.
[Vibrant General] matt_stang:
Well it does appear the same as Vanilla but it is not. It does however have stock mms and such but still cannot be called Vanilla. I agree though it is the closest to it if you want something more stable. Although CM6.1 is not very buggy at all. I usually stay away from buggy/unfinished ROM's but CM6.1 beta is now pretty good for daily use. Battery life is about the same as TW 2.2 and speed is much better and it's CM!!

But yes, if you just want the stock look and don't necessarily care about completely disposing of TouchWiz, go for AOSPish until CM is final.

Off topic but what I found works is to put the phone to sleep manually. When I let the phone fall asleep by itself there is like an 80% chance it will not wake up. I've been running CM all day and found if I press the power button to put it to sleep instead of letting it fall asleep it will wake up 99% of the time. Hope that helps.
[Vibrant General] Dimitri_010:
I ended up flashing AOSPish, however, its just not what I'm looking for. I hate the touchwiz because of homescreen lag, etc. This just puts a vanilla theme on that lag lol

I'm assuming Cyanogen 6.1 will not have touchwiz at all (please!)?

I am tempted to flash Cyanogen 6.1...but I'm a little worried about the bugs ATM, and wondering if its even worth it right now.

If i were to do so though, do i just follow the i9000 steps? I must flash the kernel separately and then Cyanogen?
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
I know I know...I CANT be the only one debating it. But now that its officially out, I must admit that despite how much I HATE the Samsung Galaxy phones, this one looks pretty tight. Hardware wise I know Samsung are great. But I have 2 friends with Galaxy phones who DESPISE them and have even offered to trade them for a Nexus One straight up.

I know dual core phones will be out very soon, but what Im actually only interested in owning Googles "baby" when it comes to support and updates.

So here it is....

Are you going to sell your Nexus One for a Nexus S?

I LOVE my Nexus One..LOVE IT...Im a bit stuck on this one.

Thoughts?
[Nexus One General] TheAshMan:
No, I found it too difficult to get a decent price for my Nexus
[Nexus One General] th0r615:
IF there is an AT&T version then I will get one. My Nexus One has a broken screen and I'm in desperate need of a new phone.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Nope. While it has some advantages over the N1, they are not major enough for me to change. With dual core around the corner, I think I'll pass on the S and wait it out till Q1.
[Nexus One General] monofurioso:
Yep. Only if I can get 3G on AT&T.
[Nexus One General] KAwAtA:
I put mine up for sale, and just took it down. I'm gonna wait for something better. When N1 was released, desire came out. I'm gonna hope that when Nexus S comes out, HTC will release something the same, but hopefully more features like an SD slot. Besides... Phone isn't even a year old yet!
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
+1

Most I could get responses for on Craigslist was a measly $350...

Do I really want to take a $225 loss ($575 original N1 price / tax minus $350 Craigslist sale price) just so that I could upgrade to a SuperAmoled screen and front facing camera? Nope
[Nexus One General] babluc:
Im staying with the nexus one...the screen res. is higher on the nexus one then nexus s
[Nexus One General] netninja:
My Nexus one has been great for me but I just love shiny new tech toys and the Nexus S kinda looks bad ass and ninja stealthy in all black so yes I'm going to get it (though spec wise it's nothing to shout about). Will still keep my nexus one though for hacking with android.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
I'm getting one.
[Nexus One General] syl0n:
It is not looking good, is is crippled from stock Galaxy S:

- No MicroSD slot, only 16GB onboard

- No 720p video recording (!?!?! will this come in Honeycomb or something)

- Bluetooth 2.1 instead of 3.0

- 1mm thicker than Galaxy S

Things it has that Galaxy S doesn't have

- Gingerbread (Galaxy will get 2.3 soon hopefully that a similar phone has it)

- LED Flash (Couldn't care less)

- NFC (By the time this is mainstream i will probably be through to a new phone anyway)

So looks like Galaxy S is a better buy o.O
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
You're aware Samsung makes the Nexus S, right?
[Nexus One General] ddg00101:
I plan to sell my Nexus One. Its in great condition T-Mobile model with 16GB SD card. If anyone is interested let me know :).
[Nexus One General] plisk3n:
I'm going to pass. I'm happy with my AT&T/Rogers Nexus One. I hear it's quite rare now!

The plastic Nexus S is a dealbreaker. The thing looks too plastic-y for my tastes. It's all about teflon / brushed metal!
[Nexus One General] bigdog_nick:
I'm passing too! I <3 my N1. The new S isn't standing out at all for me. Sure, 2.3 stock but ill get 2.3 once Cyanogen (my fav mod) releases their version in a month or so. I also love how i can upgrade to up to 32gb sd card which is awesome.
[Nexus One General] bwilliams1:
He** NO, after samsung lied about the updates to the Behold II they will never have me as a customer again, Nexus One forever! or at least till there is a Dual Core HTC.
[Nexus One General] rizzy123:
dual core phones coming in future with the tegra 2 and the orion chips, not to mention a possibly newer google phone with honeycomb which might also have dual core.

LG and Samsung are also developing new screens which they will implement in the near future and not to mention there isnt too much that the nexus offers. Most people will only buy it cos it comes with vanilla android and will get faster updates. It also lacks 4g which i suspect will become norm for phones in 2011 with more networks using it.

Was hoping for a higher res camera and screen and by the looks of it this phone also misses out on features already available on many other phones like Wifi direct, DLNA, HDMI, MicroSD slot Bluetooth 3.0 etc. The NFC is basically future proofing your phone as not many things currently support it, its like having a 3D TV with hardly any 3D content. Much better off waiting for the next flagship phone from Samsung and since the Nexus is a rebranded galaxy s then we porting over the new updates the Nexus recieves wont take too long i think
[Nexus One General] mark925:
Nope. I have a G2 and an N1.... love the N1 too much plus the Nexus S doesn't even have HSPA+ on it....
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
No, I'm selling my Vibrant that I got for free. :)

I keeping my Nexus.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Depends. If Samsung releases a car dock and desktop dock similar to the N1's, then I'll consider selling my N1. Otherwise, I'll keep the N1 for roadtrip use and use it as a bedside tablet and alarm clock.
[Nexus One General] MegadetH93:
I hate samsung's UI and other bull$#!+$ that they make in software part of cellphones!i think it's better for them to turn their mobile company into mobile's hardwares company,because the only thing that has let them to be alive is their hardwares performance,no i will not change my glorious hTC google nexus one to that F***ing SAMSUNG google nexus S!

Samsung sucks

hTC Rocks! :P
[Nexus One General] mac208x:
after having a captivate, and knowing the way samsung builts their phones i will say HELL NO even if a got the phone for free i would still keep my nexus one. I bet the nexus s will have gps problems coz it seems its based of galaxy s design.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I fear the same thing mac. Galaxy phones GPS had problems and I'd have to see the Nexus S GPS work in person before this fear was erased.
[Nexus One General] mikeacela:
Agreed. Looking at the tech specks, they have a lot of similarities/features. I also like the aluminum design of the nexus one. Im not selling mine just yet XD. also the curved glass on the nexus s looks weird to me o_0

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/index
[Nexus One General] Tech_Boy:
If i can get 3g on at&t yeah if not no
[Nexus One General] nexus14:
No, I won't be. The Nexus S appears to be a step backwards in design. People say Google had a huge influence on the Nexus phone designs but I seriously doubt that.

How can the Nexus go from a nice metal design to something so plastic? Oh right, because design is still largely dependent on phone manufacturer and not Google's input.

The Nexus S is definitely not ugly. I just prefer my Nexus One more
[Nexus One General] britoso:
I wont sell my precious.

My next phone must be top of the line (dev phone), and include a HDMI out port.

Maybe 2012 :D
[Nexus One General] futuregerald:
Nope, interesting this was just announced cause I've been having restarting issues with my N1 for a few weeks now and just this morning I called HTC and they are shipping me out a new one. I love the N1 and while it's been having problems I've given a hard look at all other phones out now and coming out soon and I don't find anything that gets me as excited as my N1 does; I'm hoping that the tegra 2 devices coming out will get good custom rom support and I'll probably end up going with the best/popular one in a couple months. luckily since they are replacing my N1 the new one will be completely new and fresh and thus have higher resale value.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Sell my nice metal phone for an almost equally spec'd, bent bit of plastic? Nah I'll pass, unless I can get more for the N1 than the cost of the NS from some nobber, then it's game on :D

That ain't gonna happen though, so... meh to the NS.
[Nexus One General] mikeacela:
The Nexus S doesn't have those charging dots at the bottom of it, so the dock for it wont be like the N1's
[Nexus One General] Stuccohead:
I,m staying with my N1 Even If i was to buy that sammy I would have to keep N1. jonesing for a tablet myself but trying to hold out for a google, dont know if i will make it that long those viewsonic gtablets are looking much better than a new sammy and a 1/3 less

well not a third less but I'm heading to sears to buy 1 right now
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
I put my Nexus + Car Dock on Ebay this afternoon for sale as soon as I heard the Nexus S was coming out next week, 30 minutes later it was sold. $390. Maybe I sold it cheap but I had it on craigslist (miami) for $299 and only got one buyer 30 miles away that wanted me to drive all the way to his house..

So, where is the Google checkout page for the Nexus S? lol

I bought a G2 to be using until Thursday and then I'm return it.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Two words.

Hells No. Best to wait for dual core processor. Plus hearing about no SD card support and it being plastic and all is a turn off. Plus we get gingerbread too!
[Nexus One General] Cookiekaikai:
No..stick with HTC phones
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Craigslist blows for selling an N1 :(

I've seen people on my county advertising the same "Nexus One $350" ad every day for almost a month...

eBay is pretty scary for me to try and sell since my friend sold his droid for $315, mailed it to the buyer, once the buyer got it he filed a claim for no reason with paypal, and then sent the box back with nothing in it! (and got his money back) :(

You weren't worried at all of this happening to you on eBay?
[Nexus One General] CraigP17:
I will be buying the Nexus S (assuming there will be an AT&T version, if notm then no) BUT i will not be selling my N1, i still love it too much and its not worth selling off. and i work at Best Buy Mobile so hopefully the Nexus S discount is nice.

On a side note, it is amazing to see how many people with high end N1 and other devices, and are using T-Mobile's subpar network in the US...and that Google would choose to optimize the N1 and now the NS for that network...
[Nexus One General] CiDhed:
HTC fixes them cheap and fast. I think they charged me $55 total including shipping.

It may be subpar in your area but it is as fast as if not faster than sprints 4g network here. ATT is lucky to get 1-3mbps down here.
[Nexus One General] vvaffles:
i feel the financial hit for selling the nexus is too big, so i might trade my nexus for a galaxy s as its basically the same thing after rom flashing..
[Nexus One General] KAwAtA:
You're aware that I wanted an HTC phone instead of the plastic toys from samsung, right?

Where in my post did I say HTC made the Nexus S? Re read it, k thanks
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
First I want to see what Gingerbread can do on my N1.

Then I want to see what the Tegra dual-core's have to offer.

After that I'll decide.

IMO, the Nexus S is in no way compelling enough to have me forking over my hard earned money.
[Nexus One General] CiDhed:
I'll pick up a vibrant to play with for a quarter of the price and wait for a HTC dual core.
[Nexus One General] bewA:
To summarise i'll be sticking with my N1...

specifically:

I dont need NFC and its certainly not widely implemented if at all in the UK that i've come across

No MicroSD slot seems a weirdly stupid decision

I'm confused why no Dual Core.

We'll still get GB on our N1's.

Personally i think this new phone does a dis-service to the Nexus name.

I'll probably look at again changing devices when Honeycomb comes out if its phone centric as well as tablet centric.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Won't be jumping ship or selling my N1 anytime soon....
[Nexus One General] sassyness77:
Yes.

I will be selling my N1 asap for a new Nexus S!

For these reasons:

-4" screen the curve is a plus I guess...should have less glare outside too!

-Flagship Gingerbread device, THE google phone still, I don't believe there will be many :( Simply put I want my phone to take FULL advantage to the new android build.

-NFC not useful yet but will be soon, they say ...

-front facing camera and what seems like a better rear camera

-Better processor than our N1's

-I got my N1 for $212 NO contract so selling it and getting this isn't such a bad idea! I will still sell my N1 for a profit and get another google flagship phone for only around $200 with NO contract!

-Better battery!

-Still has noise cancelling tech.

-A good for factor, not much bigger but a bigger screen.

As for the black plasticy feeling, I might "MIGHT" I repeat, try to sand down a bit of the finish on the NS if it is to shiny and toyish for my taste. I would prefer some sort of matte black.

As for the No HSPA support on T-Mobile, I have NEVER even reached above 2mb up or down so just having the normal support is good enough for me :)
[Nexus One General] norazi:
everything hinges on whether the S works with tmobiles tzones plan. if it does, i find the S to be superior in every way and will be upgrading
[Nexus One General] domonas:
That's what I'm thinking too.
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
That's a very good idea. Not much difference from Nexus S at all, especially once GB hits them.

http://www.google.com/phone/compare...-phone&phone=samsung-vibrant-a-galaxy-s-phone
[Nexus One General] slowpc:
Well, been thinking about it myself but I will have to go to my standalone best buy mobile store to see touch it (as the BB mobile I work in does not do t-mobile in its location) and see how it is.

If employee is good I might go for it,but it is not a huge difference between the N1. HSPDA+ would be nice as it is starting to get in my area (finally getting great 3g in my house and 5+ mbps down street) so still on the fence.
[Nexus One General] dahool:
Nope... waiting for dual core... I love my N1 and Ns not really worth it when u have a N1 in good condition...
[Nexus One General] avataranjie:
n1

i'll gladly buy it
[Nexus One General] CiDhed:
Yeah, with the exception of a flash and forward facing camera they might as well be the same phone. What is odd is the Vibrant/Captivate have bluetooth 3.0 and the NexusS doesn't.
[Nexus One General] martinl1030:
sadly i will not be getting the Ns. To me having trackball notifications is a lot better than mediocre hardware improvements.
[Nexus One General] tr.slate:
Im not getting one either. Thought the long wait was because they were swapping the NS single core to a dual core...there was a bunch of rumors on that, wonder what happened. My next phone will have at least a 4" 720p capable screen and dc proc. Nothing else is acceptable. Nexus S lookin pretty damn mediocre to me. The lack of micro sd is astounding. Just looks like a lazy design in general.
[Nexus One General] bryanchapman9999:
Agreed, to me that is one major advantage the N1 has over the iphone 4
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I think the Nexus S is ok. Not a major upgrade from the Nexus One and I really don't think it is worth $529... I will consider it if it's about $450.
[Nexus One General] KAwAtA:
Now that you mention it, Samsung will probably lock in the battery in the next phone! One more step to the iphone!
[Nexus One General] Deliamber:
Nope.

Not even considering it.

N1's build quality is amazingly good. I bought it in January without having seen it in person, and was very pleasantly surprised by how sturdy it was, while still having sleek and visually appealing design. I really appreciate this, especially since most technology seems to be going strongly in the opposite "plastic-y/disposable in 6 months" direction.

The comparatively minor hardware differences are definitely not enough for me to justify giving this up, not to mention losing the ability to expand the onboard storage.

I'm looking forward to Gingerbread on the N1. Assuming that's the end of the update line for the N1 hardware, I'll probably eventually move to Cyanogen or similar once they have a Gingerbread-based stable release. Even now on stock FRG83D the phone is everything I need it to be.

Of course, this is all coming from someone who upgrades cell phones on a VERY long time scale. I've owned exactly 3 cell phones:

2002 - VisorPhone Springboard module in a Handspring Visor Platinum

2006 - Treo 650 GSM

2010 - Nexus One

So, make of that what you will. :) In any case, I've no worries that the N1 will last me 4 years if I end up maintaining my current pattern.
[Nexus One General] Aztriltus:
Wow you guys sure share the same thought as I do.. No dual core is a major let down for me. So what for upgrading when Nexus One has the same software updates as the Nexus S? I'm more interested in gingerbread that's in the Nexus S (:
[Nexus One General] GrandMstrBud:
I honestly don't know if I'll get the Nexus S or not without seeing it. If the price was 425 then I probably would but the lack of dual core and no micro SD card slot has me thinking I should wait plus I love my trackball and notification light.
[Nexus One General] androidaddict23:
Wow It looks like a cheap impressive phone with last yrs technology, and can somebody tell me why in the world they put the head phone Jack on the bottom of the phone I really dislike that this is definitely a rush job google drop the ball on this one.i think they went with samsung because of samoled.
[Nexus One General] dinan:
I'm sure backlight notifications (BLN) will be ported to the Nexus S very quickly as the Galaxy S phones have it... (where it pulses the capacitive button lights at the bottom).
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
nexus S has frontal camera
