What do you love most about owning the nexus one?
mine is simple... aside from it doing everything my iphone did...
I love the live wallpapers, lol.
free apps without jailbreaking or rooting... and I like how from the contacts... you can email, facebook, text, call a person with a single touch.
I love the live wallpapers myself..
I must admit it does seem like an all around nice phone.. However, I still figured I'd see what people said.
I really love the general handiness of the device, its just endlessly capable:
hotspot, flash, RDC ,browser, navigation, maps, apps, media, camera, sturdiness, all the google apps, the customization...i just love the damn phone!
The only limit i can identify is my carrier TMobile (of course i love the price and cant complain because you get what you pay for and the 3g is very, very fast in my opinion), im in san antonio yet i only have 3g about 1/2 the time and data goes away totally in about 2/3 of the buildings/stores which i think is pretty unreasonable especially in a big, highly populated city.
The only thing i am disappointed with on the phone is the general touchscreen interaction; the scrolling, dragging, etc should be smoother but thats a relatively minor complaint. As great as the phone is right now i will definitely order the Nexus 2 on day one; better processor/ROM/RAM/camera/HD recording/resolution are more than just competitive as of now but by the end of the year ill probably be jealous of other Androids.
Looks like I did a really horrible job of just answering your question, sorry
the screen. perfect size, like a mini tablet in your pocket for web browsing, and the amoled colors make it pleasing to the eyes compared to lcd screens.
or build quality and materials would be second answer.
i love it for beeing completely unmodified and vanilla android after owning a crippled HTC Android phone
Because its Googles baby, N1 owners get first dibs on anything new happening in Android.
The way it sweats sexy. Its aluminum body. The usable camera. B-E-A-utiful AMOLED screen.
Only dislike is the trackball. Mine refuses to scroll left but works fine any other direction.
The build.. I had a look at a Xperia that runs Android at work from a colleague, and i was stunned how it felt so lightweight and cheap built piece of plastic.

Gotta agree with you there. I just hope there will be more phones in the future with vanilla android. I'm just tired of the whole rooting and flashing ROMs bit after having 100+ ROMs on my last WM phone, so no I just keep my N1 stock and I like it.
With Froyo I see no reason to root anymore and that's a good thing imo.
It is a dandy phone with everything on it, sometimes i will have a problem that needs to be solved, and can be solved by using my phone.

My rom flashing has stopped since i got froyo, but i know it will start up again once cyanyogenmod 6 comes out.
AMOLED screen... I love it!
I currently own a Nexus S and love it. I just wanted to get your opinions on The G2X and how it may compare to the NS. Aside from lacking gingerbread, what other potential downsides am i looking at? What are the upsides? I'm just looking for constructive feedback. No Flame throwing

The Nexus S beats it in every department except video recording, so its up to you what you deem important
Nexus S is fast, amazing screen and housing which make the phone when off look like a black slab of coal, also when the phone is on the blacks stay that colour, so you dont know where the screen starts and finishes...
The Nexus S is the real deal mate, i cant see anything living up to its quality, except for maybe the SGSII

Im having the same problem. But im also wondering between my Nexus s, the new T-Mobile G2X and upcoming HTC Pyramid.
My opinion.
Nexus s - Love this phone, have nothing bad to say, never had all the issues everyone was having (rebooting).
T-Mobile G2X - Reviews say the phone is sluggish for a phone with dual core, but it might be due to the custom UI. The G2X comes with stock gingerbread which is a plus but how how easy will this be to developers to root and install custom rom. Have never had a LG phone and dont know how the quality is.
HTC Pyramid - Still needs to be released but the spec looks amazing and I love HTC quality (nexus one). Recently HTC had not been too nice to devs. with G2 and Thunderbolt.
Wait til all the phone get released and then see what happens, see what fits for me.
nexus s is the real deal....unless yours is with tmobile....then in 2 years...its useless (unless you enjoy using a smartphone for 2g)
thats just a techinicality, most of us will move on by then, but the gx2 needs some more time before we can dive into it. but its dual core and 4g, cant really hate on that. ofcourse battery life can be a good fight (im on 22hrs and 30minutes on my nexus s right now and its still at 15%)
amoled screen is another thing...the fact that it doesnt have gingerbread is not abig deal at all, from what i read this is reaallly stock android with the exception of some apps, not skins or UI

The Pyramid is the one that I'm waiting to see more about.
Yeah i hope we are able to see some hands-on vids today. I agree that only time will tell if its a winner or not. Those specs do make it seem like a beast of a phone though, and stock android has a significant place in my heart.

I definitely would not buy anything less that a screen with AMOLED. I was a HTC fanatic, i owned the HTC Desire, Nexus One, Desire Z (G2) and the HD. But once you convert to Samsung you never look back, i could never have a SLCD screen again(greyish blacks yuk)...
But i do miss Sense sometimes, and i know that's a contentious issue in this forum as there are so many Sense haters here, but i like having the choice to mix up my ROM's by having stock for a few months then Sense for a few months.. With the Nexus S your pretty much restricted to stock or MIUI, But thank god for the MIUI release, its invigorated the dev forum. Lots of kernels and same-ish ROM's, thank god we have something new to play with

I used to feel the same way when I had my Epic 4G. I thought I could put up with anything for a SAMOLED but then I started playing with an Evo. Sure, the screen as quite as brilliant but a great screen does not a device make. I've made my opinion on Sense clear but I won't dis on someone else's enjoyment of it (doesn't mean I don't get tired of seeing new threads pop up asking for it). The only thing that would really make me not want to get a Pyramid is if the bootloader is as locked down as the Thunderbolt but something tells me that was something Verizon wanted but that is a personal hunch supported by absolutely no evidence so don't quote me on it. I could easily give up the SAMOLED, hell it makes me feel more comfortable running bright themes and I think it helps devs want to make them.
Anyone concerned with the issues of these phones not being future proof. These phones not working once att get a hold of tmobile.

i dont find it ugly at all.. just the bottom of the phone is a little bit exaggerated and could of added more screen size rather than having blank spots; probably something internal of the phone hardware that prevented that or they didnt want to overextend the screen size

Well... it looks snappy, but it's quite obvious the video is sped up. I know for a fact people's fingers don't move like that, all jittery lol. And if it's really using stock android, that stock launcher should animate just like our stock launcher, and it's way too fast in the video (opening the app drawer etc).
Hi,
i just got this phone and i was really excited but then it all went wrong
Unlock screen is choppy
I found the menu preview is so choppy
Sliding to the next screen is choppy
The camera loads after ages and takes photos ages after u click the camera button
The camera is no good all images come out soft and all eyes in the images turn out white.(Someone reported that removing the back cover makes the images shaper, Its true, try it.
The extra layer of software by LG on top of the vanilla causes this problem.
Great hardware and AWFUL LG software.
The dual core is useless, Multitasking takes longer than the HTC phones. the widgets are awful, there is not facebook integration like some HTC phones so u end up with duplicate contacts and have to merge them manually.
PLS THINK B4 YOU BUY I AM RETURNING MINE.
NEXT .....SAMSUNG GALAXY S2.
Try another launcher
Before returning your device, I suggest you try another launcher program. Launcherpro Plus works like a dream on my 2X.
Not to make excuses for them but I didn't expect much from LG, software-wise; they're new to this. It takes time for a company to get their software right -- a good case in point is HTC with Sense. Their first Sense implementation (back during their WinMo days) was laggy and buggy but after years, they've gotten to the point where their UI is actually ported by custom ROM makers to non-HTC handsets. Touchwiz has also gotten better (although I jettisoned it from my Galaxy S) but Motorola, which is still relatively new to the "skinning" paradigm still needs work on their Blur interface.
On top of that, the LG widgets actually work pretty well on LP-Pro, so you don't lose the use of the nice weather and clock widget as well as the calendar/agenda widget.
Also, while I too am interested in the Galaxy SII, after handling a prototype and comparing it side-by-side with my 2X, I think I'll still with the 2X -- the build quality is just so much better; Samsung can't escape their plastic-y phone design philosophy. To be fair, the GSII is a lot classier-looking than the original GS but neither is close to the 2X.
It's a shame really -- plenty of Samsung products are seeing great improvements in their design.
Besides, with a resource like XDA-Dev, it's only a matter of time before a truly excellent custom ROM enters the scene.

Hey pall..
Go to the dev section, install clockwork, boot up a custom rom problems solved U will go to the moon and back.. or if thats too much trouble install launcher pro and a alternate email program of your choice if you are too dumb to find the settings/read this forum to find where the settings are.... kgo! Also the picture quality is boosted alot by changing certain settings, again these are found by reading.. have fun and good luck ..

yes, unlock screen is choppy,

so if u are saying that your app menu is choppy, something must have seriously goes wrong.

I use spb no lag i have a lot of apps installed and the phone is very fast.
I had galaxy s and desire hd and i can say you that lg2x is more more fast than htc and samsung.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
don't expect samsung's software would be any different. their touckwiz is as unpolished as LG's UI, heck might be even worse.
that's why i salute t-mobile by putting a stock android on the upcoming G2X. instead of the lg's UI.
Just use Launcher pro and everything willl be super blazing fast.
Let's just wish LG would do a better job on the 2.3 fw update.
Only thing it is holding me back because it isn't popular phone so I might don't have much of support or any help for rooting, hardware issue or anything like that. I could just save $150 and go for HTC Desire, but I like 8mpx, front camera and the screen on HTC Incredible S. I like HTC Desire because it is quite popular and it has a lot of support, but Incredible S sounds and look much cooler.
Also excuse me for posting in wrong section, I couldn't find a correct section for general discussion of android phone (hardware).
EDIT: I posted this thread in both section Desire and Incredible S for unbiased opinion.
Of course it's a good idea, because that's exactly what i just did
The screens better on the IS, just search on youtube. Better contrast and colour rendition.
Got nothing against the size of the HD, i might sell and buy a Sensation when released.
If you're on about the original Desire, it just now looks so outdated IMO.
I wouldn't consider Desire s, heard one to many nightmare stories of wifi dropouts.

Can you root it and put a custom ROM? If so, does the guide exist?
if you searched further than your nose long is, u had the answer on that
Really depends on what you want to do with the phone. The screen display is a lot better than desire. If you just wanna a phone to use, IS is the choice. If you are a fun of installing custom ROMs, desire is probably a better choice. As far as I know, software rooting is not available yet for IS.
if you are comparing stock to stock...
the major advantage of having an IS is the internal memory... on a fresh stock rom...
Desire would have around 147MB for you to use for all your apps.. and you have to spare 30MB for OTA updates purpose...
if you have IS you have 1.07GB on a fresh rom... so many apps you can install without any worries
I switched last week from Desire to an IS.
I think it's a relief.
The screen is much better, it's a bit faster than the Desire.
Screensize is perfect for my pockets. Sound is pretty good.
Enough space for installing apps.
Also the touch buttons are cool.
Still I don't understand why this phone isn't that populair.
Dual cores

At first I was looking at a dual core as well.
But after all I thought: what is the real benefit at the moment?
I mean, I don't call that much a month, use internet a lot, play some simple games, listen to music and that's it.
My Desire could handle all those things very good.
I must say that I'm very happy with my IS and I'm glad I didn't wait for a dual core.
Bear in mind the Desire has some issues with multi-touch, and battery life isn't particularly good. It is readily rootable however, while some variants of the Incredible S are not.
My friend had a Desire nd i have an IS ... Go for the IS no doubt.. so fat the issues i ve seen in multi touch . battery life, screen , speed ( cause of RAM ) .. IS wins hands down
An HTC without sense is like a ZR-1 with a 4cyl engine...
Now before you go and start screaming HOW DARE YOU!!!, relax,
and think for a moment, Why did you buy the VIVId ?
was you thinking how CM would run on it or you liked the style that sense offers?
I personally love the looks and widgets that sense offers and I thick CM Or aOSP lack many features.
Do you like the Zr-1 with all the works or you want the Lotus elise without even AC?
now Scream>>>>>>!!!!!
Because some people like the style and the features of the Vivid. And a lot of people like a CM over sense, but still like sense in general (like me.) And having cm would open up the door for aosp roms, miui, etc. I didn't buy my sgs2 plainly for touchwiz, I bought it because of the great potential in this device, and the vivid (pretty much every HTC phone) has a lot of potential.
And I'd take the Lotus, I don't drive American cars.... just my opinion
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
See your point, it comes down to your personal taste.
I think the Samsung wiz is not a ll that different from aosp and looks too much like the fruit company. And I really hate the fruit company because of that "we are the best don't even try to change it you pay me to loan you the item " attitude.
and I still think that even being American, the ZR1 will eat the lotus.... jejeje..
I have a vivid (velocity) because work issued me with one... It is the first 4G phone for Australia and we wanted to test it for work (Hell, at least I'm not the guy who had to get an iphone) I cannot wait for CM or AOSP, imho, sense is clunky and it feels old compated to cm and miui, this phone feels slower than my htc hd2, even basic features that ADW and launcherpro have had for ages, changing the grid size, adjusting widget sizes, more robust toggles in the status tray... it feels to me that HTC are going in the wrong direction with sense.

That´s awesome that you started a post to make an irrelevant comparison ROMS and cars. But let me do you a favor and make it relevant again.
I bought a Vivid because it has what I was looking for with hardware, the software can be upgraded as I see fit. Would you ever mod the exhaust or intake or headers or anything on your Elise without altering the car´s computer configuration? I certainly hope not.
As someone mentioned earlier, it´s about personal preference. Some people might want the Elise because of what it comes with stock, some people will buy it for what it CAN be with the proper tuning. So enjoy sense as long as you want it, I will endure it as long as I have to.
And a quick FYI, AC units weigh a hell of a lot, so it´s usually part of the stage 3 weight reduction kits for cars.

I get the fact that some people <3 sense forever.
But If I could get a ZR-1 that could switch off 4 -cylinders (change roms) and run without the sense-v8, like a modern HEMI, for when I want to save fuel(battery) and I'm in bumper to bumper email territory, that would provide the most appealing from both worlds.
I'd like to have the choice either way. Loved Sense 2; Sense 3 was fine, Sense 3.5 looks a bit like a "meh" revision of 3. Want to see Sense 4 before I decide whether or not to keep it.
I liked having CM on my Galaxy S, but I like Sense more than AOSP Gingerbread.

ZR1's a pile of poo. Car's made out of plastic, rear-wheel-drive and an inefficient shouty V8. Consider the Lotus Elise, comes remarkably close in performance since it can actually take a corner, and runs on a 1.8L Toyota engine to boot. Looks a damn sight nicer too, and costs half as much.
If I had the money to burn on a ZR1, I'd go for a far more elegant version of its package: Mercedes Benz's C63 AMG Black coupe, for slightly less money to boot.
But, since I'm a sane and normal man, I'd rather get the Audi RS5 or the Audi R8 V10 Spyder. I'd rather drive an Impreza WRX STi than the Vette, to be honest.
Yes, I'm an American too.

If I had the money to burn on a ZR1, I'd go for a far more elegant version of its package: Mercedes Benz's C63 AMG Black coupe, for slightly less money to boot
But, since I'm a sane and normal man, I'd rather get the Audi RS5 or the Audi R8 V10 Spyder. I'd rather drive an Impreza WRX STi than the Vette, to be honest.
Yes, I'm an American too.

I'd drive an s2000. 230+ horsepower from an i4 + rwd + light as hell = fun

Honestly for screen beauty, and build quality.... And yes i want cm for the sheer speed and i want ics. Sense has some nice feauturss... And i would take it over touchwiz any day, but I'm afraid it bloats and slows more than that sweetness is worth to me.
And if i want features gimme MIUI. I'd take that over any manufacturers skin any day

I drive an A5 myself, so I already classify myself as "enjoying life". I can't personally warrant blowing upwards of $60k on a car.
Can anyone give me a good reason why i shouldnt lock this thread?

Have you ever tried it out? It's really quite interesting... Not as bad as I thought it might be. I remember giving people crap for using that iOS look a like. But once I actually tried it out it wasn't half bad. Of course, I ended up reverting back to sense, but it was cool to try it out for a little while.

I used miui because it was really polished, and very quick, there are plenty of themes that look nothing like iphone (like a theme that makes your whole phone look like a borderlands computer, complete with holograms and rusty corregated iron, that was my favorite)
It is just really nice, everything is easy and logical, and yet you still have access to all of the awesome android apps
Music player was great, could retreive lyrics and art, built in popups for sms messages and quick replies, a logically arranged settings menu, built in firewall, built in data counter, no app drawer to deal with which I liked, persistant app row on the bottom of the app screen good for 4 to 7 apps to be anchored there, hold down home and it shows you running apps, hold down the back key and it kills any app thats crashed... it is a totally sweet system, well worth looking at not just passing it off as an iphone clone.
Also... some people really like the iphone look (I like the interface, its well made) but want the flexability and open access of a rooted android, and thats what you get with MIUI, its not for everyone, but it deffinetely appeals to me
