Was waiting for a final build but it seems like I'm going to have to go ahead and put cm7 on my phone now. I'm a little nervous about it though. I'm running cm6 right now but I bought the phone already rooted and I'm not to familiar with the whole flashing process. Should be interesting at least.
[Nexus One General] Lothaen:
I read the sony xperia play was getting gingerbread 2.3 - seems odd that this phone would get it -- but not the Nexus One yet...
[Nexus One General] decodecoding:
Yes. If these phones get Gingerbread before N1 does, I'll be a serius slap in the face (ours)
[Nexus One General] zupernovae:
So, there isn't any official news from google regarding the GingerBread for N1 yet?
[Nexus One General] Lothaen:
everything seems to point at the 2.4 release in April also called gingerbread to enable dual-core-ness - and probably also other bugfixes...
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Nope, dead silent.
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
After using CM7 for the last week, my outlook on Google not releasing GB has changed. Even with all the extras the Cyanogen team has added, GB is still extremely stable.

I use to think Google wasn't releasing GB because of major bugs with it. But now I HIGHLY doubt that's the case. I think with all their other Android stuff going on we've fallen to the bottom of the barrel. :\
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
I'm slightly annoyed by all this. I bought the N1 thinking we'd get the updates first, but it never ever happens... now a SONY phone is getting 2.4 before us? Sony-E is the WORST at updating... and it gets it first?

I'm about to give up on this Nexus BS and start using mods.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Just do it. I was frustrated like you during the Fro-yo rollout. Since then, however, I've discovered the Nirvana that is CM7. Now the delays don't phase me in the least.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
What you're seeing in AOSP/CM7 builds isn't close to the version that Google produces. This version updates the AOSP code to be compatible with older drivers, while Google integrates the new drivers with AOSP code. You can't compare those things, the comparison is invalid.
[Nexus One General] mg77:
To install custom roms is not the way to go. Google should supply Nexus one with Gingerbread instead keeping it only for Nexus S like they are doing at the moment.

Will we have it before SE Arc hits the market by the end of Q1? Otherwise Nexus one is a failure and I will not buy any Nexus phones from now on.

I want a bugfree phone not something I want to reflash every evening with custom roms.
[Nexus One General] chalisto:
When i bought my N1, one of the reasons for buying it was, that i thought a google smartphone would get the updates faster than phones of other companies.

if google realy decided to kill the update to gingerbread for the N1, i would be very sad.
[Nexus One General] jadephyre:
/signed

that is also the reason why AdamG stopped work on Oxygen for the time being.

CM7 is just a hackjob, nothing more, but when the Nexus One OTA is released and integrated into CM7 I may use it... but not before.
[Nexus One General] mg77:
Completely agree! Google shall supply GB for Nexus one as they have said.
[Nexus One General] biglolz:
compatible vs new drivers? Do you believe there's all that much of a difference? What type of drivers?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
The difference for user is close to 0 (less or more bugs would be the only difference).

The difference for OS and device will be big.

CM7 is a VERY good hackjob.

Those that bought Nexus One for updates - well, pity. It's a developer phone, it's destined for tinkering and installing custom ROMs. Google won't support it forever. Even if we get the next 6 versions of Android - it's still not forever. Look at the development of HTC Elf, 6 years after it's out..
[Nexus One General] MENDEH:
im tired of this argument. nobody is asking for "updates forever". i think 2.3 at the very least is expected because the phone is barely 1 year old. hell my at&t nexus one is less than one year old, and now google is going to stop officially supporting it? thats just awful.
[Nexus One General] biglolz:
diff for the OS and device? meaning performance with legacy drivers or what exactly do you mean?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
When you compile CM7, you have driver binaries - ready with their APIs, known and unknown bugs, etc - and your goal is to adapt the system to use the binaries.

When you compile AOSP with driver code, you integrate newer driver code with other known and unknown bugs with the AOSP - which is a different process, and might not go as well as working with old binaries, for example. But this process is necessary. The bonus is - mostly newer drivers cure old bugs and bring more performance.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Heh.... this whole "support the phone after it's released" is a very new concept. Used to be you bought the phone and if you ever got an update for it, it was because the manufacturer screwed up bad and had to do it before they were sued or something.

Do you actually run a stock ROM? And can you name just ONE important thing that Gingerbread would bring to the N1?
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
+1.

That is BS. N1 is not part of that old generation of brick phones, but it is (or should be) part of the new generation of app-rich systems where you have a whole ecosystem of app developers that you need to support. Hell, even my PS3 get constant updates, why shouldn't my _smart_phone? Google's intention should be at maximizing the usage of the apps (i.e. extending the devices' lifecycle to support newer apps).

The point is exactly the contrary. Name one reason (appart from 'costs', duh) that would justify not getting GB on N1.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Show me one shred of evidence that we will not receive a gingerbread update.
[Nexus One General] crachel:
Passion/Crespo are the only 2 phones currently supported at the AOSP, so the evidence is actually to the contrary. Not sure why people think the phone has been abandoned
[Nexus One General] MENDEH:
yes im stock. the only change ive made to my phone is unlocking the boot loader to flash the latest radio.

i bought the nexus one because it runs stock android and gets updates directly from google, and i have no interest in dealing with custom ROMs.

its not really the fact that any one feature in gingerbread is important, its the fact that google hasn't updated the nexus one to the latest version yet. i didnt buy this phone to wait months for an update. google has 2 phones they are responsible for, i dont think its too much to expect timely updates for the previous gen model.

how fast a phone receives official updates is becoming one of the most talked about aspects of android devices these days. i would hope that google can at least update the nexus one to gingerbread before any other android phones officially go on sale with 2.3. that window is closing and if that doesnt happen i will have lost all faith in the nexus line.
[Nexus One General] Ertavarez:
for me custom ROM is better than Stock ROM
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
Unfortunately people typically fear the worst. Nothing suggests we won't be getting it, the fact that we've been told we will (even though its late), the fact that it's in AOSP, etc, but that's not enough for most people!

I'm not saying it's not frustrating having to wait. Yes it's really delayed and it's taken a long time, but nothing suggests we're not getting it
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
I love that picture.
[Nexus One General] schkr:
Stopped waiting for 2.3 awhile ago after the first announcement that is was coming out in a week. Figuring that by the time 2.4 comes out, Google better have a duel core to upgrade from the N1 - assuming they come out with a market breaking phone similar to when the N1 first came out.
[Nexus One General] Boogersugar83:
I'm having issues with my 3g service from T-mobile. Its there I have full bars it just doesn't work. It says 3g but doesn't do anything until it flips to the Hsdpa connection then its works fine. But as soon as flips back to 3g nothing. Has anyone seen this before?
[Nexus One General] schkr:
lmfao ^ haha. Priceless
[Nexus One General] Boogersugar83:
What is so priceless?
[Nexus One General] JimmyBanks:
Yes I feel like its the same for me. 2.3.2 desire oxygen relish.

Must just be the difference in speed.
[Nexus One General] Boogersugar83:
I don't know if its a speed issue or what. My N1 just dosen't move until it changes to Hsdpa. Then it moves at almost 4g speeds
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
Your bars are not a symbol for data connection. H symbol is 3g. The other thing you see I bet is E for edge.

"being called GRI17 Gingerbread post-Honeycomb, aka “Ice Cream”"

This is bull****... I bet this guys are stating this to get hits on the site. Ice Cream will come after Honeycomb, but remember that the Builds starts with the name of the release... 2.4 will be Gingerbread.. Builds with G on the first letter, Honeycomb 3.0 with letter H, Ice cream will be with letter I..

Those guys are just speculating...GRI17 will be another Gingerbread release...

Hi guys,

I was downloading a rather large file to my legend (froyo, not rooted) when it suddenly crashed. After reboot I noticed there was about 25Mb less space on my phone storage. I tried to erase the data of my browser but it didn't help.

Is there a folder where incomplete downloads are stored? I use Dolphin Mini.

Hope you can help me!

thx
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Try looking at the Download folders. If I'm not mistaken corrupted download files stays put even if the browser crashes.
[Legend General] Gertjan90:
Nope, there's nothing left in the downloads folder. Even the gentil people from Dolphin themself couldn't help me.
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Maybe you can use a file manager to check your disk usage. From there you can track where did that missing space went. I might be troublesome but I think you will find your missing space.
[Legend General] Gertjan90:
I have Astro File Manager, but I couldn't find my missing space.. maybe because my phone isn't rooted.

Anyways, I did a hard reset and that solved my issue so this tread may be closed.

Thanks for the replies!

I have a Sony Bluetooth earbud headset that is of excellent quality, so I am set on that front. The thing is, it only has six hours of battery life (as most BT headsets do) and often run it down when I'm listening to podcasts and audiobooks while pulling doubles at work. I had the earbuds that came with my Captivate, but they were kind of junky and, honestly, I put them through the washing machine one too many times.

I went on Newegg.com thinking I'd have an easy time choosing the optimal wired earbud headset, but there's a whole universe of them out there, now, and the price has come down on them so much I can't even use that as a benchmarch of quality, anymore.

Does anybody have any good suggestions for a wired earbud headset that has good to excellent sound quality and works particularly well with Android pnones/Samsung Captivate. My price ranges is 50 dollars or less.

Thanks!
[Captivate Accessories] mipakr:
I really like the stock ones that came with the Captivate. As a backup I also use the buds from my earlier Sony Ericsson.

Sorry my post was of no help :]
[Captivate Accessories] AReynante:
I use a pair of V-Moda headphones w/ mic from the Apple store back when I had an iPhone. The cable is wrapped in a material infused with Kevlar :cool:

I'll try to find a link for you

EDIT: Didn't see your price range. Mine were $80, but they may have gone down some? Idk. I'll find it anyway

I've been looking for a good durable set as well. Looked on amazon, and it seems that many many people have problems with that headset breaking constantly.
[Captivate Accessories] Jeffu:
Sigh. I am checking accessories because I discovered my right earbud stopped working about 15 minutes ago :p
[Captivate Accessories] baub:
Disclaimer: I'm not really after audio quality. They're earbuds, after all. I just need them to be indestructible or, failing that, cheap enough to be replaced a couple times a year.

The weak points in most earbuds I've owned are the junctions between the miniplug and the cable or the cable and the earbuds. In fact, the supplied Samsung earbuds are pretty decent, except that the miniplug-cable connection wasn't designed to take any stress at all. Sheared that right off in just a week of pulling the phone in and out of my pocket.

To that end, there have been two products I've been pretty happy with:

If you can find them around (eBay), the "Zune Premium Headphones" have outlasted anything else I've ever had. The cable is wrapped in plastic, so it transmits some noise when rubbing against your clothes, but they're incredibly durable. I only stopped using mine because I wanted something with a microphone button, not because they broke.

What I'm currently using are the JLab J3M earbuds. Got them from Amazon for $25 or so. Cable appears to be wrapped like the Zune earbuds and then coated in a clear, rubbery plastic, which has worked out so far. Only had them for about four months, but holding up well. The headset button works reasonably well with Android (I use DroidShuffle to control everything, and Cubed as the actual music player.)
[Captivate Accessories] dc41:
A case of YMMV... I have a pair of V Moda Vibes that I've worn for over 3000 miles of road cycling over the past year. Not a bit of a problem.
[Captivate Accessories] pinoymutt:
I actually have a pair of the ZAGGsmartbuds (yes, the same ZAGG that makes Invisible Shield) that I received as a gift. They are very sturdy (the site has a cool video of a Boston Terrier trying to tear one apart - that alone would sell it for me :) ) and the volume and button controls work on the Captivate as well. The cord is actually coated with the same material as Invisible Shield.

Sound quality is quite good (compared to some V-Modas and some high end Sony earbuds I had from before) and it retails for a shade under $50 (but I think you can easily find it online for much cheaper).

http://www.zagg.com/audio/smart-buds.php
[Captivate Accessories] Geezer000:
I've tried lots of different earbuds and I think the stock ones are one of the best under $50. they may not have the most bass but the complete sound range is great, nice and smooth/clear.

$25 Skull Candy set does right by me. Killer sound and I can talk while driving. Covers the basics. Did I mention they sound killer? The sound is great and they sound awesome too.

Best Wired Headphone on the Market!

Skullcandy (Full Metal Jacket) FMJ. You can check out this products here: http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/all-products/headphones.html?limit=all&cat=6

but you can pick up brand new ones on ebay for $20-$40. They have an in-line mic, you can work the music player with a toggle on the wire, they they are LOUD and HIGH QUALITY :D music. Check them out, you would be disappointed.
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
That may be true, but they seem to have close to a 50/50 fail rate. Waaaay to high for me.
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
If you're going to buy skullcandy, don't get more than the inkd line. They arent great on the first place and it seems like the higher you go in the line up the worse they sound.

The ones I have have lasted for two or three years now.

They aren't the best thing ever SQ-wise, but they do isolate well enough, and that's important to me when riding to and from school/work.

Just my opinion.

ive got a set of meelectronics from newegg that have been awesome as far as sound goes, otherwise the mic has been questionable at best can't tell if its the rom or the headset itself. btw it was cheap as hell too 10 bucks or something.
[Captivate Accessories] Wraith04:
I've had good luck with the skull candy full metal jackets but I think the ink'd sound slightly cleaner but the longest I have used them is two months before I catch them on something. If I don't need a mic I use Shure e2c's.
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
I've never had that problem. I run my wire through my shirt. Also helps to get rid of microphonics.

Im about to "upgrade" to a bluetooth set. Hopefully it will be on par with what im currently using. But im willing to sacrifice a little SQ for the peace of mind. I use an otterbox defender so the headphone jack is partially blocked off.

I just hope it isn't TOO bad because I really like my belt clip.

You know this for a fact that they do work with the captivate?

Do you own a par and can verify that.

Really want to get a set of buds that have the inline mic/button.

I was lead to believe that they have a different pin wiring.

That would be awesome to get some that work... :cool:

Same pin wiring, but the Captivate will only recognize the middle button. The other controls (if present) wont work.

Best bang for the buck headphones I ever used are the JVC Marshmallows ($20). They sound 10x better, and have way more bass than my Sony over ear set I have at home that cost around $50. They don't have a microphone or control button/buttons, but I found this model of Marshmallows on JVC's site for $40, that is the same exact headphone, but with a mic and control buttons. Only problem is that I don't know if it will work for our phones, it just says compatible with Crapple...

Maximo ip-HS5

OK there were a bunch of replies to this thread citing headphones with no mic, which is semi-wrong, so I felt I had to throw something in the ring that was a decent answer to the original question so:

I vote for the Maximo ip-HS5. I just bought some right now from Fry's sunnyvale for $49.95 and am breaking them in right now.

Running with firefly ROM on capp just fine, my voice sounds good to remote side on calls, start/stop music with the button.

NOT as good as my CX-300 II's but damn close. Specifically: Great Bass ( actually slightly better ) and high's, but lacking the mid. No, can't fix that lack of mid with the equalizer, already tried.

A thousand and one times better than stock.
[Captivate Accessories] P1x44r:
Hi,

What about a good wired mono headset? I recently picked up Jabra C500, but haven't tried it yet. Basically the only requirement is that it's comfortable to wear for hours at a time and voice quality is good enough.

Has anyone tried the aforementioned Jabra?

Thank you.
[Captivate Accessories] browwiw:
Oh, wow, I didn't realize this thread got so many replies.

I went with the JVC marshmellows. They do have a really good sound for the price ratio and so far seem pretty tough. They've already survived one trip through the washer without any reduction in quality.

I'm now definately interested in the in-line mic variant people have been posting links to on Amazon. Are all of its buttons recognized by the Captivate?
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
With those requirements, id have to ask why not just get a stereo headset and leave one earpiece out?

This way you get the benefit of a mono headset but with stereo capabilities.

[Captivate Accessories] P1x44r:
i have the stock stereo headset right now, and it sounds like there's an echo or something. I can't even explain it properly. That's what people on the other side are saying too, they mention that I sound like I'm on a speaker. It works great for music, but I do not use my phone for that, I need a headset strictly for talking to people. When I put both earbuds in, it is better, but I need to hear what's going on around me.

The Meelectronics M9P ( P being the version with a MIC and button) For only 15 Bucks on amazon.

When I recieved these headphones, I was blown away with the bass and the treble on these headphones. I always thought the ones that came with my captivate (Stock Samsung In ear eadphones) Wer good. But now I feel stupid that I thought those were good.

These headphones are the top budget headphones on CNET http://reviews.cnet.com/best-budget-headphones/

They place #2 on the charts.

This is the Meelec website: http://www.meelec.com/MEElectronics_M9P_Hi_Fi_In_Ear_Headphones_p/earphone-m9p-mee.htm

It has even won the : Awards & Accolades:

Android Police top spot for wired audiophile headsets

cnet Best budget headphone #1 in ear headphone

Buy Me An iPhone Editor's Choice

In Ear Matters Sonic Diamond Award

These headphones come packed with a great cable, which seems to be like the bike cable type cables and it is VERY sturdy, a full aluminum housing, a ****load of eartips to choose from, a case, a airplane adapter, a cable wrap (The cable is 4 feet long or 1.3 Meters) And the BEST sound quality I've heard from a pair of 15 Dollar headphones.

Lol, I seem like an advertiser guy but I honestly was blown away by these cheapy headphones but they are so durable and sounds great!

Even check out these guys first impressions on these headphones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS_1-CQC3XY

I truly thought they should be 100 dollars if they are going to be in stores.

Meelec is a fairly new company, and trying to get up to par with other companies by selling cheaply priced, audiophile quality headphones. You wont be dissapointed. I wasn't.

My impressions: As everyones sound signature is different, I LOVE bass and clear treble. The bass is PHENOMENAL and Mids are slightly recessed but sounds the same as the stock captivate phones. The treble is really good and overall these things are like, WOW. I said WOW and started crying when I first put these things in my ears ( Not really crying. :D)

But anyways, GET THESE. Whew. My fingers hurt. I have never reviewed something before. Lol.

But on the other hand, the JVC Marshmallows and Skullcandy INK'd are good If you need them NOW and don't have the convinience of buying online. Other than that, These are great headphones for the price.

Thanks, bye.
