To be honest with you man, I didn't even know google still soldd new nexus ones. But, in my defense a used xbox and a used nexus one go for about the same price on eBay, however I do realize this is a longshot. I have an iPhone 4 I would like to trade with the 360, and would ultimately like to end up with a nexus one and an iPad.
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
I have a mint condition ATT Nexus One and am definitely interested in selling it... soon. Its lived in an Otter Box defender since it came out. Phone is in new-in-box condition. Its been fastboot unlocked, and I'll even install whatever rom you want before shipping. I have two OEM batteries for it... the dock (tried it once and then realized the headache with the otterbox case, the otterbox case, 4gb micro sd card, a few chargers). Its my second N1 (sold first one locally to someone who knows nothing about how to buy on their own). I bought this one on June 30, and its worked like a charm since.

It gets a compressed air bath weekly and then wiped with a lint free eye glass cloth before going back into the Otterbox (I change batteries weekly too).

I have no interest in an XBOX 360 though. If you like, make me a cash offer and we'll see what kind of ground we can cover.
[Nexus One General] dressanderc:
Well to be honest, I'm not looking to invest anymore cash into a smartphone. I do have an iPhone 4, as stated above, but again, I'm trying to leverage the 360 and iPhone 4 to come up with an android device (nexus one) and an iPad. I'm interested though, let me know what you can/would do.
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
hmmmm... looking for cash really. if you sell xbox elsewhere, what do you think you could offer?
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Xbox and nexus one do not go the same price on ebay. I can still sell my n1 and then buy an xbox with games and hdmi and still have 20 bucks left
[Nexus One General] blazablaz:
1

How much are you asking for it?
[Nexus One General] alvinleephd:
the n1 is worth probably at least $300 more than your used xbox..
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Used Xbox ~ $200

Used Nexus (especially AT&T versions) ~ $400+
[Nexus One General] dressanderc:
Point taken. Now I'm trying to get this iPhone 4 off my hands for one. Mods please close this thread.
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
im looking to offload for an Atrix... so, around march, if you want to buy my perfect ATT N1, send me PM offers, and we can work out a deal.

[How to solve] "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to google server"

I was not able to add my google account in order to access market, gmail an so on, each time i tried i got the message "Can not establish a reliable data connection to google server".

I googled a lot just to find the only (horrible) solution that is the hard reset.

If you are experiencing the same trouble, don't get crazy, actually it is an awful bug in the android OS.

After several days and lot of search i found two much better solutions here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3477

First of all try this:

- Root your phone

- Delete this folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings

- Restart, then add your google account using the Account app

This worked for me!

Otherwise, you can also try this way:

- From Youtube App log into your google account

- Go to settings -> accounts and enable sync on the google account

Hope this can help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mouse100:
I had an HTC with android 2.1 and It was possible to send only text MMS, without any images or sound. I had to create a new message and insert some text in the "Object" field and system detected the message as MMS. Is it possibile to do this in the x10 mini?

There is a reason why the Qualcomm/HTC Engineers decided the default CPU voltages were safe for a reason. Otherwise they would have lowered these voltages and save on power consumption.

Before I get into it, are you asking because you genuinely want to know, or to make fun of my thread?

I'm guessing it's to make fun with some very horrible form of sarcasm.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
It's a valid question. This is a modding forum, right? Why the complex? Any references to voltages from here on forward is a mock to "your thread"?

[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
They had to raise to voltages to accommodate ALL evos, even those with not so good chips. And sure enough, some evos have problems with undervolting. A lot of evos have no problems with undervolting though.

There's no danger of undervolting, as far as I know. The only bad thing that can happen is losing a long email you were about to send, just after the phone randomly rebooted.
[EVO 4G General] raiderinks:
Ok ok.

So, I am more qualified to be answering this question than the battery charging questions. It is helpful to define what safe means in this context. To be clear, there is virtually no risk of harming yourself with the possible exception of the phone getting hot to the touch. It is not likely to get hot enough to start a fire before the phone simply shuts down, which is something we have probably all experienced under heavy use. However, the risk of damage to the processor is higher. Here is why:

PS - I have to leave for something, I will edit in the why part later tonight.

[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Not everyone follows the herd I don't use SBC kernels and I don't under-volt my processor. Manufacturers have tolerances and specifications for a reason. Thats just my option. People do what people want. You can't change them.
[EVO 4G General] SecretObsession:
Pretty much what this guy said.

Under-volting will NOT damage ANY hardware. It's a impossibility. If you are increasing the voltage beyond the stock voltage then you are risking damaging your processor. (Or any other hardware due to heat.)

Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

The stock voltages are there to provide stability to processors that have not been manufactured as precisely. Every EVO or any piece of computer hardware is different. They may have the same name, and look identical, but when the boards were fabricated some are done a little bit better then others. (This isn't to say, if you can't under-volt that you have a ****ty phone.)

So lets say Processor A and Processor B were fabricated at two different facilities. Processor A was pressed perfectly (100% quality), Processor B passed all QA requirements but wasn't exactly a 100% quality processor, more like 99%

Processor A is more likely to be stable at a lower voltage. Processor B might still be able to be under-volted, but not to the degree Processor A is. (50mV can be the difference from a stable processor and a unstable processor.)

HTC wants to make sure that all the phones (at least most) they send to their consumers are stable, and not randomly rebooting. To ensure that, they have to raise the voltages up. This is where the under-volt comes in. If you have a well fabricated processor, the extra headroom they put on the voltages are completely unnecessary.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Not really a safety thing but I'll throw in something I heard a while ago; one of the CM devs said that under volting can potentially lead to worse batterylife/reception if over done and used in a poor coverage area. Something about it weakening the radio. Can't really speak of it's validity but it could be another reason why they set them at the levels they do.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I wouldnt "think" its any different then under clocking a cpu in a computer. (which causes 0 harm and people have been doing for years). Not 100% about this though. I was actually wondering about this too, because people kept mentioning how it could harm your phone.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
I would imagine the only negative side effect of undervolting would be cpu stability - more prone to crash because certain voltage levels are required to maintain the logic the high/low digital states..
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
lol! what a troll! XD
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I have never in my life ever considered under clocking a PC. Someone actually does that? When I over clock my PC I increase the voltage on the RAM and CPU. I can tell you already know this, just playing Capitan Obvious. I would think if we wanted to overclock the CPU more then we are going the wrong way. We would need to increase the voltages like a computer CPU.

Also to stay on topic:

Do you really think anyone has a answer to your question and even if they do would you except it? Probably not most of these posts are generated to just cause conflicts.
[EVO 4G General] BuddaBelly:
I have one of those phones....I personally get my best battery life on a no havs no undervolt kernel. I can undervolt just fine but I notice zero improvement in battery life. I guess I'm old school in thinking why would I undervolt at the cost of performance? I didn't go buy one if the best phones available just to cripple it's performance. With that said I think it's just fine that people undervolt, if it boosted my battery life I would use it myself. Anyway that doesn't answer the question about damage. I'm not qualified to answer the question about low voltage in phones but I can answer the question as it pertains to autos. If you run low voltage on a car you can burn up things like fuel pumps (electric motors in general). This happens because the low voltage causes a high amp draw from the motor which in turn over heats it. For electric motors generally a 10 percent drop in voltage would cause a 10 percent increase in amperage draw, however if you over volt a electric motor amperage goes up with voltage causing overheating as well. To me it would make sense that if a chip was designed to do a certain amount of work at a certain voltage and amperage that the same would hold true as it does for electric motors. I know the principle of an electric motor is in no way the same as a chip. I think an electrical engineer could explain this much better than I could. Comparing phones to cars is like comparing apples and oranges.
[EVO 4G General] Calkulin:
Undervolting the CPU won't damage it, it will just make it unstable if the voltages are too low. The reason the voltages are so high(for some) is because Qualcomm wants to use all the CPUs they manufacturer(for profit/cost reasons) and since they don't have alot of speed variations of the same CPU family like Intel/AMD, they all need to operate @ 1 GHz hense they find a voltage that works for most. Not all silicon is made the same, that's why extreme overclockers tends to go after certain batches of CPUs
[EVO 4G General] Stevenskii:
Basically, I was thinking the same thing. I was a bit confused how lowering the voltage would damage hardware. I figured it just would cause random reboots and such.

Also, I am starting to think that this MIGHT just be an overzealous troll.
[EVO 4G General] phajen:
He may have a valid point in his opinion, he saw SBC was a non-manufacturer setting and it ended up not working right, and if you don't understand processors too well, you can also go after undervolting, as it is another thing that goes against what manufacturers do.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Trolling thread but then again find me a post where he has ever contributed anything... exactly...

That has a lot to do with the lack of moderating that goes on here.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
To all the haters... Where on my OP or any post within this thread, do I refer to hardware damage? When I said safe, I am obviously referring to safe as in stability. Ya need to hop off the hardware damage bandwagon ya been riding. [edited by mod]

[EVO 4G General] tke0834:
It happens all the time with laptops. They undervolt to conserve battery & when you need more power they return to the "normal" voltage.

[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Thanks for the plethora of information. In this case, it wasn't needed but most of the time it is :)

Error 262 means there is a link error between your phone and the PC. Some have solved this by re-installing ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. Some people said it was solved by simply unplugging the phone and trying a different USB port or cable.

After installing android rom in nand, device continously reboots

I followed all your steps and installed everything (there war an error encountered while installing the rom in the last step) but when my phone boots into android, after about a minute it will just restart itself and continue the same over and over without ever fully going into android.

can you please tell me how to get over this?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
It looks like the Android build you chose is either incompatible or was somehow corrupted when you downloaded it.

I suggest you delete the copy you have on your PC and download a different ROM, and then start over again.

Since there was an error, you don't want to try a fresh install without a task 29 and reinstalling hspl.

If you are using the Euro version of the HD2, don't try to install a TMOUS ROM, and vice versa. If you aren't sure, ask the chef who posted the ROM you want.

Hope this helps!

Hello, I have some problems with my mob.phone HTC HD2: after get all the steps done my mobile stop working, then I tried install windows and tried turn on first time and my phone shows white screan with name HTC and don`t work at all,then i tried reset and Hard reset all setings and turn on again and than screan appears again with name HTC.

When i conect my phone to pc by usb, so my pc can`t find that phone.

Can you help me with this problem.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
One thing that was specified but not in the steps was HSPL. If you don't have that, you can't flash.
[HD2 General] gokun:
After having a bit of problem using the original tut you reference in your first post(basically it got locked on gogogo and a variety of problems thereafter), I am very happy to report that your variation on the method not only worked for me, but worked on the first attempt. And it has thus far done so each time I have tried it since. You cannot imagine my relief after all the frustration I had previously. So just wanted to let you know how helpful I found your post. Thanks!

The only edit I would suggest is that I believe USB Flashing is option 5 now instead of 4.

FWIW I was originally on ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE with Radio 2.10.50.26(now on 2.14.50.04).
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I just tried a fresh download of MAGLDR 1.11 and the option is still #4. Did you perchance grab version 1.12?

It would still work, but 1.12 gives you the additional option of installing and Windows 7 Phone ROM.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Yes on MAGLDR the option is 5 instead of 4.

Other than that, and the part about removing your sim and SD card, looks like an excellent guide.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I am updating the tutorial to reflect on the changing menu numbers, thank you!

As far as the SIM and SD card removal, I did mention that this is optional but recommended. Yes, I realize that this is from the early days of flashing and is more than likely not needed, but in my defense this is my own method and I have never, ever had a bad flash. I've owned several HTC phones going back for a few years now and have not bricked a single one. I would consider that a pretty good track record, considering the number of posters who did brick their phone and have no idea what went wrong.

In light of your input, I will re-word the OT to ensure that the "optional" part is clarified.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Oh I totally hear ya.

I've never had a bad flash either. I think that some of the "Brickensteins" just do something wrong and don't mention it (like unplugging the phone mid-flash).

In your favor, I did read in one of the WP7 tutorials that the sd card should be removed, but since I don't plan on flashing that any time soon, I'll leave that wisdom with wiser hands ;)

Ok do this hold the volume button down while powering on your HD2 and see if the multicolor bootloader screen comes up. If so you are not fubared. If you get bootloader you can save your HD2. Click on my Guide linked in my sig and read it then click the links at the top of my guide if you want to install Android or the link for WP7 if you want to install it. The links I have at the top of my guide are links to very good and extensive guide. If you want come post back here and I or others will help you and if you want to just PM me.

Would you still buy this for $400 or pass?

I bought it for $400, and am happy with the purchase.

Would I have liked to get it cheaper? Yes. But I still think it's worth the price.

[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
I got mine at for $399.00 at Staples, and I'd buy another at that price. You can get them online for as low as $369.00, might want to look into that if price is an issue.
[G Tablet General] Travels:
Ok thanks. It's either this or the Nook color. Decisions, decisions.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I own both the nook and gtablet. I love both but they are two totally different devices. So depending on what you want and need, your choice might be more clear. If you don't care about a camera, processor speed, the ability to upgrade OS, size of the screen, usb ports, hdmi and the ability to play more video file types then you can save a ton of money with the nook. For what the XDA devs did for the nook is amazing. Its a very capable basic tablet. Couple that with the build quality and screen, the nook can easily be the best buys for an android device.
[G Tablet General] Travels:
Thx xmr405o. I'll be reading books or news on it most of the time, so screen quality is a must. The gtablet looks so tempting though. May just go with the NC for a few months, then a decision on a 10" tab should be clearer. Thx again.

I am also interested in reading eBooks on this device (via the Nook app), but I want a tablet for much more than that. Is it really bad reading eBooks on this device?

Reading Books

I love my g tablet for reading. Never bothers my eyes at all. Especially with the Nook app to adjust background and brightness. The guys at XDA were the reason I bought the g tablet. Their mods were easy for me to install and I am a newbie at it. Can't keep it away from the better half now so may get another.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I read comics, magazines, newspapers, and books on this tablet as well as watching movies. The only thing that could be a negative is that it is a bit heavy and you notice that when you hold it in your hands for any length of time.

I've solved this slight issue with a foldable stand for it as well as a case with a kickstand so now when I know I'm going to be using this tablet for a duration for reading or watching something I simply use either one of those solutions.

I bought my wife a Nook Color reader from B&N which runs Android but this G tablet does so much more I don't mind the extra weight or the extra cost.
