Anyone else receive a Nexus One email from Google? - Hero CDMA General

So, I'm not sure what to make of this email, I'm wondering if it's because I recently updated to the AOSP 2.1 ROM that Darchstar is working on. I certainly didn't buy a Nexus One, but I hope by some stretch of luck that I'm getting one for free! Nah, will never happen
Here's the email:

We sent you this one-time welcome message because you recently purchased an Android-powered phone

Hmm, I never got one of those...It would sure make me feel special if i did though! lol

Yeah I got one to when I wad running that Rom too

I also recieved an email like that but I was running Fresh 1.0

ugh...knew it was too good to be true.
I'm gonna wait for the HTC desire/supersonic anyway

Yeah got it too with the darchstar AOSP 2.1, hopefully we don't get charged the early termination fee from google if we change to a different rom.

Lol I got one too. I think its really funny If only I had a cmda nexus one

I got an email from Steve Jobs telling me how I had made an excellent decision by sticking to an Android based device. What a guy.

i got the same email this morning after installing 2.1 last night.
lol

i got that email too. weird, huh?

Did it actually show up in your gmail box on the web, or was it just in your phone, kinda like microsoft does when you first set up an email, it puts a welcome email in your inbox.

I got one too

It was in my web based gmail inbox, although it could have come to my phone's box first.

Was in my web gmail too. It happened when I loaded the 2.1 AOSP, so maybe it thinks I have nexus one because it is only device that runs 2.1 out of box?

It would have been MUCH cooler if somehow Darchstar had hacked a way for us to get free Nexus Ones

I been Drooling over that phone since it was just listed as a WiMax device. I live in Vegas, and already have Clearwire for internet, would love to get 4G on my cellular!

I have Optimum for internet, but 4G on the Supersonic would be sa-weet!

Best Fart App for Windows Mobile

Have you seen the BS Fart App? http://www.bsfartapp.com
It supports farting on demand, on time delay and using Text Messages or the web browser. ...Apparently it has it's own HTTP Web Server so you can just WiFi over to it and fart away.
The app also lets you do one other thing via Text Message, you can have the phone with BS Fart App installed on it call some other phone. ...This allows you to eavesdrop on your mark, so you can wait for the perfect moment before making the phone fart.
Oh yeah, and it has an iPhone like kinetic list interface. But it also works fine on none touch devices.
I'm unemployed, so please pay the reasonable $1.99 I'm asking for it. I wrote the app entirely in C#, so it requires the 3.5 framework.
Does this work properly on QVGA devices running WM6.1 or 6.5?
omg this is completely senseless..
but good fun in it's very own way somehow.
Great start, now, replace the Farting with something useful and you have a great app!
wow what a waist of a great app this could be a great app menu system,gps location ,all for farts
you application is more complicated than most applications. too bad its still just a fart application
The application really looks like some serious software. I think you should use this software as a base and create something more useful
Oh, and you might consider fart by twitter, a social web feature for your fart app (e.g. send farts to facebook) etc. ;-)
brien
love the fart machine app you made. best 2 dollars i ever spent.
i have right now only one issue....it is when i look at the webserver ip address all i get is 2 numbers.
see pic for example i posted below for my error i have.
i am running an at&t fuze aka touch pro device which is a vga display.
it also doesnt place nicely when i open in landscape mode either.
like i said before great app so far.

Dude, how did you manage to NOT LAUGH during that 9 minutes 34 presentation ?
Wont it try to send the file trough sms? Will it find its way to sweden?
Purchased Friday and still have not recieved the app file. What gives?
Feels pretty cheap... joke any one?
Outstanding.
Yours is the only (out of hundreds of) software plugged on my site for which there is no free or shareware version. That speaks for itself in terms of how impressive your work is and how awesomely talented you are.
As with Chainfire, I imagine and hope your efforts result in at least some modest prosperity and of course in your case satisfaction from all the laughs and awkward moments you're creating around the world, two bucks at a time.
One demographic you'll touch, of which I'll belong once I whip out the debit card, is those who have no intention of using your program for its intended purposes but just want to witness firsthand the complexity, sophistication and finesse of your work rather than just watching the video.

Yep, I've been emailing them for support... they responded to the first email, last week, and nothing else since, despite repeated attempts to contact them. I'm wondering if something happened to the dude.
Folks, either something has happened to this guy, or we've been had. After a couple replies from him when I first started trying to use the app a few weeks ago, he has not responded to any of my emails in the last two weeks.
Has anyone had any success at all getting this app to start on a Touch HD? It will not start on mine. And I already paid for it. I know 2 bucks is minimal, but that's hardly the point. A couple weeks ok, Brien (the developer) promised to send me a debug version of the app so we could diagnose why it doesn't work on my phone. I've heard nothing since, despite four emails practically begging him for a reply. The last one I sent is basically just asking him if he's even alive.
I have gotten nothing from him. Purchased last week, sent emails, nothing.

Just bought A nexus one! im pumped!

Does anyone know about how long shipping is and is there anything cool i can do to it once i get it or any good apps to download? Thanks
Did you try reading ANY of the numerous threads on this forum that discuss everything you've asked?
hey c'mon, the dude is excited! this isn't an 'iphone' forum, no need to bash him!
i find it fun to 'race' the iphoners in my office with a simple 'google' search...
someone calls out a 'thing' to look up...while they are typing away, you use voice search and BAM, you smoke em.
i know, childish, however, so much fun to stick it to iphoners.
Shipping is 1-2 days and apps are easy to find once you have the phone..
As the previous poster mentioned, I would place my bet for Wednesday.
As for apps.
You can google for some decent lists. 101android ro something.(just google best android apps)
Stuff i will personally recommend.
1) Get Google voice set-up for voicemail. Extremely cool. Text transcriptions definitely give you the jist(but certainly miss some words).
2)Dolphin Browser - Multi touch web browser.
3)TaskKiller - I like the widget for killing apps I want to full close.
4) Ebuddy/Meebo for an instant messenger.
5) Live Scores for sports scores. Only one that seems to be updated quickly.(maybe 30 seconds behind sportsline.com or so)
6)BetterCut - I paid for this(2.99???). It lets you adjust your homescreen short cuts. Download icon packs and use new icons/different words etc.. Makes for cleaner home screens. Free version is Anycut.
7) AContacts - Shows your call log with exact timing. Something i prefer to normal one.
8)Beamreader - PDF viewer.
9)Gdocs - Google docs viewer basically. Useful to view MS office stuff.
10) Ring toggle - very simple ringtone/vibrate toggle thing. I like it.
11) Agend Widget - Best widget to show calendar on home screen
12) Istockmanager - If you use TD Ameritrade this program is amazing. Level 2, trading etc, all real time, charts, the works
13)Tune Wiki - A tad better then installed music player
I spent more time then i expected on this post! Anyways, you can work at setting up your calendar/gdocs/even contacts to some degree all ready through google if you want. They all sync anyways. There are a ton more awesome programs, but those are the ones I have used over the last year or 2 on android(and redownloaded for nexus one)
Congratz, your going to enjoy it! Check out the threads here for the good scoop!

Though I should have really thought that one out before I named him Sam Google.....
Oh man I'm so pumped too. I ordered mine on Saturday, and spent all day thinking it wouldn't be shipped out today because of the holiday, then got an email at 11:20pm EST saying it has been shipped and will be delivered by 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday). YES!
So yeah, you will probably get it Wednesday.
please we do not need the mail man, see you faint once he comes walking at your door. hehe j/k =) hope you enjoy your phone. it rocks!
Just got it a few hours ago, stayed home from school so i wouldnt miss the fedex guy. haha

Why does Facebook think my Nexus One (CM5.0.6) is a Motorola Ruth??

For some time now, when I'm viewing the Facebook Touch site in the stock browser, at the bottom of the page is the line
"Download Facebook for your Ruth"
I think it started when I first flashed CyanogenMod, but I can't confirm that.
Googling 'android ruth' turns up rumors of a device named Ruth from Motorola, but I've never seen one, personally.
So, anybody know why Facebook is confused about what device I'm using?
I mean, my user agent specifically says 'Nexus One'
My stock N1 does the same thing! I've never rooted it or flashed another rom or anything, and it still thinks my N1 is a Ruth.

Facebook thinks mine is a Hero. Then again I only noticed that initially, not sure what it says now.
Mine says "Download Facebook for your Nexus One"
Running EPF21B - insecure, but otherwise stock.
So while we are on this topic, whats the best facebook app out there?

back on topic. mine says ruth, too. always wondered what that was about...
Anybody else have an opinion on the best facebook app? I hear stock is pretty good but I'm just curious to what you guys think. I'm guessing there is as many facebook apps as there are twitter apps, so thats why i'm so curious. Peace

Haven't come across one. there was a decent one out before we've got an official Facebook app, but I haven't seen any updates in awhile. stock one is okay, I use it just to read status updates and update my contacts. I use the touch site to see new notifications and browse through pictures, its way faster at loading pics than stock and notifications are easier to access. Facebook app takes you to Facebook mobile site when you click on any notification, pretty gay. while it is getting better, not as cool as iPhone Facebook app lol.

any one got google application inventor ?
i think i have requested thousand times for Google application inventor.....but they didn't respond yet.......
i think they will publish on 2012............
I was sent an invite weeks ago, they will get round to you...
Until it allows icons for apps and market submission ... Its just a bit of fun.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I got the acceptance today... it's not an application that you can download... it's web based and runs in an applet type application with a jnlp installer. Personally, I think it might be ok for prototyping... but good luck making anything that is close to advanced with it. It would be easier just to write the code.
i am waiting for my reply.........goooooogle............
I wish I had the mind of a programmer! I want to be able to code and write apps so bad, but I'm more of a visual guy. I do 3d animation. Every time I try to learn programming my brain begins to melt.

Yeah, I just got one yesterday. But as eatmold says you can't use a custom icon on the phone (though that may be possible to do, but the people who know guard the secret - google say its on the list, but knowing them that will be 2012!)
However it is possible to export and import code (not java, some special google stuff) - so people might be able to exchange and share information.

Get folder organizer. Might be one word. It allows you to place a widget, with a custom icon, that launches either a folder, or an app. So you'll have a stock app in the app drawer, but at least it'll look nice on your desktop

Im still waiting on my invite, perhaps its location based on the invites?
it may be location based of usage based. I applied a month ago and nothing yet. I even put detail about the app i wanted to create in my application to them.

I got mine. I live in Virginia.
It's pretty neat, but I've been having issues with VoiceToText not waiting until my TextToSpeech is finished running.
Like, I'm trying to create a voice driven menu for hands free use so I ask a question and then want it to pause for an answer... Instead it starts talking and the VoiceToText box comes up at the same time. Frustrating...
Darnit! It seems like you are all on the east coast... but so am i lol. I'm in CT, maybe ill see it soon!

HTC Peep

since the new twitter policy rolled out yesterday, does anyone if there will be an update for Peep?
Per a tweet from HTC themselves last night, Twitter is actually working on an update for the HTCPeep app and several other mobile clients, that is supposed to fix the issues follwing the API change the other day.
MoTweets is currently the only app that works with the new authentication (that i'm aware of). 3-4 bux on windows marketplace.

I really dont see how Twitter is working on this, unless HTC shipped them the source code to Peep and is making them rewrite it? yeah right!
There's really nothing that Twitter has to do from their end, HTC needs to rewrite the authentication portion of Peep. The only possible thing Twitter could do is reenable Basic Auth, which im sure they will not do, atleast not on a permanent basis. If Twitter was feeling kind they could reenable Basic Auth for another week or 2, give the developers of all those twitter clients that window to get their clients supporting OAuth, then cut off Basic Auth again.
This whole problem is HTC's fault, Twitter notified developers MONTHS ago that this change was going to be taking place. In fact the change was originally supposed to happen back in June or July and was pushed back to give developers more time to get their clients updated

I would agree, but from the sound of the message, they're doing it to re-enable more mobile clients than just HTC's, so maybe there'll be a basic auth "bridge" for just mobile clients..? I don't know any more details than that, but HTC did firmly put the issue in Twitter's lap with that announcement

I'm all about some TweetDeck. Adobe is working on a port of "Air" for Android, which is really promising for TweetDeck in the future. However, I have a hard time believing that Adobe would work too hard on Windows Mobile, especially since Windows Phone 7 has just been RTM'd.
On the bright side, I'm digging me some Motweets. I really like the whole pic preview thingy, even TweetDeck isn't doing that yet! I still miss being able to tweet from a tab though. HTC is not going to waste time working on HTC Peep, especially when they also have Windows Phone releases on the way.
I feel like I am holding a sparkling, beautiful machine that was seriously outdated the day I bought it. Twitter's switch to OAuth is just another sign that Windows Mobile and the associated apps are on a fast track to the great recycle bin in the sky.
Oh, and if any of you are interested, there is a way to get in on the Adobe Air Android Pre-release program right now. Testing phase only, but it's gonna be awesome

one thing that REALLY bugs me about motweets, for selecting a photo to upload it uses the windows mobile thumbnail view which takes FOREVER to load and thumbnail pics. the thumbnail view used throughout sense is much much faster!
I tend to upload a lot of photos to twitpic/twitter and it annoys the hell out of me
htc peep does not work we can do or any solution for this problem
