"WOAH! What phone is that??"
You: "This is the Nexus One. Check THIS out..."
(What do you do when showing off your phone? And have you converted any iPhone/BBers out there? Let's hear some stories!)
I show them the live wallpapers, especially the live earth rotation one.
I also show off how well google syncs up.
As well, I show off the youtube app, then that I have about 50 youtube videos downloaded.
I also show off the camera, damn good for a phone!
The keyboard, and how fast I can type on it(I can fly with this! Better than any hardware keyboard I have every used, although can't do it blind.)
Most of all, I show them how fast I can move from app to app, screen to screen, and what not... I usually do about a 2 minute demo that shows off almost the entire phone, and not once does it ever sit there waiting to load. That is the most impressive aspect of all!
I throw there phone to the ground crunch it with my boot then demand they kiss my phone as I pinch and zoom the pic of me crapping in a urinal.
OR
Do the "navigate to ___" to show them the turn by turn GPS nav.

Stock keyboard in landscape, portrait is a little small. One of the first things I do with any phone is type as fast as my thumbs can move, and I found that I could go way faster than I thought I could or would be able to...
I find myself typing really slow at times trying to make sure I hit the key, then remember that I can just start flaring away, and it will keep up. About the only thing I really do I can think of some might not is that I make sure I pull my thumb all the way up, partially and likely mostly easy and quick for me because I am a drummer and tap a lot, so am used to it. As well, I type with no fear!

Interesting, I've never tried typing fast. I get frustrated with on screen keyboards, I miss my G1 keyboard
Do you use the vibrate on keypress or leave it off? (If this has an effect on typing speed)
Where do you get the earth live wallpaper?

Personally I use haptic (vibrate)...we should start a keyboard tips and tricks thread
I have haptic, the vibrate thing, turned off personally... and yeah, when I type slow and deliberate I do much worse than when I just try to type as fast as I can, within reason of course. The only time I have a major issue is that auto correct will replace a word I spelled correctly with someting else, but I have been making a point of adding words to the dictionary so this is become a less common issue.
You get the earth live wallpaper in the market. Do a search for "live wallpaper" and it is one of the first 3 or 4... also, if you check the themes and apps section for the Nexus One, the dev has a support thread on here.
People rarely ask nor do I flaunt it, I never see anyone else with it. If they ask I would show them but I never have the live wallpapers enabled to show them right away, I would have to change the background just so they can be amazed by it

Ah, iPhone fan boys are the best! I had a customer come in with an unlocked iPhone a couple days ago, and I was finishing a text when he walked up... naturally, he asked what I had, showed it to him, and he said it was an iPhone clone... I said "No, it is a 1ghz Android OS Google Nexus One, see..." then showed him my live wallpaper and said "see, and iPhone can't do that"... it went on like this for a couple minutes... can your phone do this? Yup, and look mine is already loaded even though I started after you!
Then, I asked if his phone had google nav, with speech to text, speech to nav, speech to dial? Asked him to show me his background... If his iPhone had a 5mp flash camera? Expandable memory? It was brilliant!

I reply to them 'You think that's a plus? I think it's a negative! My phone is better... booyah!' (I hate iTunes, couldn't wait to get it off my desktop PC)
Like others have said, point one I show them my spinning Earth Live wallpaper, that changes depending what time of day it is.
Then, if there's a decent print/piece of art/product I Google Goggle it. 'Yeah, of course its a can of coke', 'Okay, but can your iPhone detect that its a can of coke?', 'Erm...'
Then I point out widgets (nothing new I know, but iPhone owners don't have them) like the News & Weather widget.
Then I generally just show them how smoothly it can move in and out of apps and tell tham about the snapdragon CPU and 512 RAM and ROM, which probably no other phone this year will beat. I also point out the amazing OLED screen. Last night I had a 3Gs owner admitting he was leaning towards wanting one

No? I've been hearing about 800 RAM, 1.2-1.5 GHz chips and dual-core processors. Not that I feel I need dual-core in my phone (because holy hell, heating issues; see laptops), but there you go. Maybe not debuting any time soon, but toward the end of 2010, almost definitely.
I show them Layar, FxCamera, and Google Sky Map
So I am running fresh, and I love it, 2.1 is awesome, but I can't stand the keyboard lag. Turning off optic doesn't help me that much and everything else is off. So my question is, dies anybody have tips for me to speed my phone up? Short of course of overclocking my phone? Also I love and use sense. Thanks in advance!

Some people will say use swype, some will say they don't have lag, some will say no matter what you do there will be lag, some will say "Why didn't you do a search for this"
Do a search in the forum and you will find plenty of threads with possible solutions.
I get very little lag.
Download auto killer, set it to the most aggressive setting and try it out. You can always adjust it from there.
Keeping free memory up helps a ton.

i know this is just a suggestion and ull get a ton of these but im using the original aosp keyboard with no voice to text or anything and get next to no lag. i think its the voice to text that is messing everything up. do a searcvh and find it and try it
i have found a solution to everyones problems, try this keyboard out in the market called thickbuttons it doesnt lag at all and its freakin sick
Yeah I've done the searches and tried all the fixes/ suggestions. I will try the thinkbuttons thing, but I don't like swype. Anyways, I'll look into enabling JIT on fresh, I haven't done that since I was on Darchdroid. Thanks alot! Any other tips for speeding things up? Does a2sd speed the phone up?

Only if you're SDcard is faster then the phones ROM, in which case it will make loading them faster.

I think you can make an EXT backup, but I'm not sure how to do it short of manually taking everything from /system/sd/app and moving it to /data/app

Hit up Damagecontrol 2.08.1, he included a new lighter keyboard that doesn't lag anywhere near as bad, the only real problem is the fact that the vibration feedback is sometimes messy, but I just turned it off. Otherwise it types like a dream.
Also, Damageless is customizing that latest 2.1 leak that came from Sprint, and in 2.08.1 there's DCUpdater, which allows you to update directly from the phone itself without a complete wipe. I strongly recommend it, it's got what you're looking for and more.

Sorry bro, but thick buttons has such a terrible learning curve. If you stare while typing, sure it works. But if you type faster than you can process what key gets larger, it isn't for you.
Do you have lag anytime you use the keyboard, or just when sending texts?
I know I had bad lag with the stock KB and the HTC MMS app.. but I have since switched over to the AOSP Mms.apk, and I have no lag in it at all.
Sorry to budge in, but I have had the same problem for a while now, I love the layout and prediction of the HTC keyboard (XDA) but the lag is annoying. For a while I used the AOSP mms.apk and all was well, but I couldn't send pic messages, let alone view them.
Is there a way to get around that and still have AOSP?

I use the AOSP Mms.apk on RegawMOD. Works just fine. Try repushing?
It hasnt been re-released yet, but I love TouchPal. You can still find the apk on rapidshare or hit me up and I can send it to you. You can turn off haptic feedback and make it scream and it has all the functionality of the HTC keyboard and then some.

Load up Zen's latest ROM - I kid you not - any questions?
I finally have no lag. I have no lag period even when I run pandora. I run purehero with the regular htc.ime. that was one of my main goals in finding a faster rom.
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
As long as you are using it on a low res screen like the hero, the attached apk should work. If you need it for something higher res like the droid, I think I have the APK at home. There are a lot of settings for this, so play around until you find a set that works. I suggest turning of the haptic feedback because that seems to slow down all keyboards on the hero.
I would really appreciate some help. I just received my Sprint HTC CDMA Hero and when I flip it to landscape it literally takes 3-4 seconds to transition. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem? It is NOT rooted. Thank you for your help...
This is a very normal transition time... I'm running DarchDroid ant it takes at least three seconds to transition.
Root. And you can fix that.
I run zenxp overclocked, and it takes less than half that time. Don't think it can ever be instantaneous, though.
Running Aloysius 2.1 and it takes maybe 2 seconds at most.
Here's a tip. Download an app called Bubble by Ben Zibble from the market. Set it on a level surface on it's back and hit menu> calibrate. Then set the phone on it's side and hit calibrate again, then position it upright and calibrate it a third time. Your rotation will now be much faster.

That would calibrate the sensor for the app. Not the whole phone. Its just telling the bubbles, when the phone is like this, make the bubble go here. Not if the bubble is here, set the internal phone sensor to think its here.
Mine was slow as Christmas until I rooted and loaded a custom ROM.
If you don't want to do that then at least get the auto task killer from the market (free) and set it to help you. Also, if you are running stock 2.1 I'd disable your stock SMS app and use Handcent SMS. Turn off your GPS and turn off your Vibrate when typing. What tends to happen is that your phone will be doing A LOT in the background and it lags like your CPU would if you were running 10 programs at once. That is what the auto killer does, it kills stuff and keeps your phone running fast.
But I really recommend rooting and installing a custom ROM. I am not a developer, know little to nothing about linux, and I figured it out with the help of this forum. Everything you want to do has a step by step listed here. It is a great resource and you won't belive how much better your HERO will be with the custom ROMS.
I took mine to the Sprint store and ran it side by side with the Evo and honestly there isn't much the EVO can do that my Hero can't.

One would think that, but it actually reduces the wait time to transition from portrait to landscape. It was discussed in a previous thread a while ago.
I don't know is this really a problem or not, but it really bother. my broblem is about multitasking, it looks like my phone doesn't have multitasking (like ios! )
for example I open opera and let it load some pages then ttpod and play a music, after them go to an explorer, and I go back to opera it's now closed and I have to re-load the pages.
overall I can't keep more than 2-3 apps open at the same time.
is there any solution for this problem?

this is not so normal, actually the only possible limitation for background proccess is placed in Settings/Developers Options
here you can find how many apps are keep alive when you switch to another, and if you haven't manipulate this part, there should be somthing else...
try it, set it to the "Default Number" or "Max"
Or use chrome, I have no problems with that keeping pages loaded

I've tried background process in the setting, but I still have this problem. There is no "max" option, only "at most 4 processes"
I've tried some tweaks with some apps such as Pimp my Rom and Android tuner but to be honest it made it even worse! and I had to do full wipe!
@greg, it's not just about opera, I can't run more than 2-3 apps in background.
I have stock 4.1.2 with doomkernel v7 rotted and unlocked.

you use opera for FB, hm?
that version of Opera mini comes with many bugs, one of them is AutoRotation, when you rotate your phone, it jumps out of the app, maybe another bug is what you are facing, not being able to chache the pages in background, MAYBE...
try another browser, like Default or Dolphin or Chrome, and see if the problem is still there with those apps, if not, then the problem is BUGGY opera mini, which i guess so

i DID understand, Kamiar...
it's so weird
never experienced this issue, in NO phone of mine
i know this might a bit noobie guide, but first of all, uninstall unnecessary apps, maybe you've loaded your phone with a ton of apps, which certainly eat up RAM even if they are not running, that's the way Android manages RAM, so, uninstall whatever thing you don't use...
if the problem still exists there, then update your phone or flash another firmware, for example go back to ICS to see it helps or not..
and let us know, we will hepl you as much as possilbe, bro

All my apps are less than 80, I've uninstalled or freezed many apps by titanium back up. I have always more than 200-300 free RAM, and with a task killer I have about 400-500 free RAM space.
I have this problem since I've bought this phone (more than 3 months) and during this time I always had this problem, but recently it became worse.

Removal of bloatware really helps here. I find Firefox sometimes closes as it uses a lot of memory, but it beats all others in terms of usability + ability to download any files (sometimes chrome or stock just downloads a dumb .txt file, can't believe they still haven't fixed that) but yeah remove useless apps it helps a lot

Hey,
Today I updated my HTC One to sense 6.0. (Software number: 5.11.401.10).
I noticed that my phone would react a lot slower during certain actions. It feels like I have an one second delay, just like input lagg on a monitor.
I noticed this when dragging down the status bar and clicking on the settings. It takes about 1 second between the click and the actual action.
Third party apps don't seem to have any delay!
I've tried switching off all the animations. I'have also switched off power saver and I even tried to fix the problem by switching on High performance mode (a developer setting). This all didn't fix the problem, so I went back to the normal power saver mode.
In this youtube video, the owner doesn't seem to have the problem. You can see it at 5:19 when he clicks in the upper right corner he doesn't have any delay. youtube.com/watch?v=ZE08kJ42_Os
How to solve this problem?
I hope someone has a solution, because I find it really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Dark-shot.
*Sorry for my miserable English.*
Stop messing with the settings? Factory reset it and see if it works *before* restoring a backup of any settings.

I didn't really mess with the setting only animations and high performance mode, so I think it is really weird to have that lag because of that.
I'm going to factory reset it in the weekend. After testing when I switch to my back-up will everything be exactly the same? Hopefully without the lag.
this is not settings problem, my friend after update cant recive phone call, well send it to HTC or root and flash custom rom, Viper is amazing.

As a test case, if you browse a complex site using opera, then switch tasks to something else, does the problem get particularly bad? (If so, there's more I can tell you about this bug, but no solution.)

Use a custom rom like arhd or Viper and install elemental x kernel. See if there's any difference. If no then there's something wrong with your phone, homie

The problem isn't particularly bad with opera, but the first two seconds after I switch task, my phone is a bit laggy overall (never had this before).
HTC One input lag, sense 6.0 fixed.
I fixed the input lag. When I updated to sense 6, the first settings which I enabled was magnification gestures. I disable the new magnification gestures setting and at this moment the response time is as good as it was with sense 5.5! Sorry for this stupid mistake!
I appreciated all of your replies!
thank you. this solved my problem
Thanks for posting your solution. Damn magnification. The minute I turned it off it fixed everything.
