I wanted to make this thread because I've read in a few different threads that people are having problems with the slide up screen.
Apparently, if you hold the phone upside down - the screen will slide down and sort of just do it's own thing.
I also read that some people who have their G2 are not experiencing that same problem. Defect? Or is it supposed to do that and is a result of bad designing?
I plan on getting my G2 Oct. 6 and I just wanted everyone to be aware of that potential problem.
If you are having or not having that issue, feel free to let it be known below.
Thanks!!
I'm pretty sure it's a defect with a few people's phones. So far, only one person out of like 6-7 said it happened to them. Maybe he could tighten a torx screw or something? Not too big of a deal... I guess we'll see!
I thought the issue was when it's closed, people hold it upside down and it starts to kind of open up?

I have this issue. If you hold the bottom of the phone, and them hold the phone upside down, then the screen portion slides along the hinge all on its own.
I believe this is an issue with it being a non spring loaded hinge, but I will confirm tomorrow maybe if I can drop by a T-mobile store and ask to see their demo ( I think they will let me if they see I have one)
Hmm.. I'm pretty picky about these kinds of things. Crossing my fingers the G2 I get will be solid.

Lol, yeah. My bad I must have miss read your OP.
Haha, all good. But man I really want this phone. Luck pre order people
When's your arrival date? They got me for the 1st.
the demo i have has this problem, i'm not really that picky but to be honest i feel a bit burned on the slide since i had a G1 first and insurance couldn't get me another one.

Then it sounds like this is an issue that might happen with time? Hinge gets loose/relaxed?

See I can't really call it loose. And if it were any firmer it wouldn't slide right. I just guess I wish it would hold tighter? I'm not sure. Its solid as hell , and the hinge is metal , and slides like butter, and when in the up it has a very slight wobble? Maybe its something to get used to.
It doesn't feel cheap by any means. But in that respect I'm not entirely sure how it is supposed to feel..being one of the first owners and all.
i don't like that it "falls" open, not that i hold the phone at that angle very frequently, but it would annoy me later on. but as already stated, it's not really loose, the only person to use this thing was me all day and it was like this right out of the box, i think the hinge itself is a little too slick(greased or internally loose) but it may get better with time. we will see what happens, as with all things we won't know till later
Haha man, I'm not even pre order status. I have to wait until it comes out. But I got a homie who works at T-Mobile. He said he gonna hook me up some how.
But yea, I wonder if they will fix this on 2nd gen models. Not wanting to wait that long tho. Sucks that this is an issue tho.

I wouldn't even say it needs fixing. The G1 wasn't even solid initially. The left side wobbled etc. The EPIC has wobble side to side when screen is closed and when open.. I think this is the most solid slider I have used since the TP2. I guess I'm just gripe-y
hehehe! I'd rather have this issue than the one on the MTS. You practically need a crowbar to open the keyboard. and as you open it, it makes a horrible grinding sound.

My opinion;
Despite all the other HTC Android phones coming the Nexus One will remain on top. The reason why I think this is because having a phone directly from Google itself means you'll get updates before anybody, and popularity from any other 'Droid phone won't beat out a Android phone from Google itself.
So to everyone who has a Nexus One or those people who are scared too get one because another one might make it look obsolete..DON'T WORRY. The Nexus One will remain on top due to the fact that it's from Google itself.
Just my two cents..
I agree with you on that. I just made the leap from the TP2 after running Android on it for a couple of days. I love it. Its awesome.

LOL, I did the same thing. My TP2 is now collecting dust.
So what you're saying is that because this phone is being so heavily backed by Google it will have a very long lifespan?
I think I can agree with that
I came from the CLIQ and man is this phone a speeeeeed demon!
well so far there is very little (to none) support from google......and Nexus One is the worst cell phone experience i have ever had.
The phone is good, the hardware is good, the OS is ok.......It just feels like everything is in beta or made from cheapo parts.

Well, you know, you should lay off from Google a little. This is there first directly sold phone, and they weren't exactly prepared for all the whining and problems people were going to have. I don't know how they didn't expect for nearly everyone to complain, but apparently they weren't exactly ready to join the phone competition. They haven't had to deal with any problems till now because they have been selling their Android powered phones through carriers..
I honestly don't understand how this phone could have so many aggravations for people though.. like the above poster said, you should also be more specific.
The good thing is that if the 3g connection is good, htc/moterola/exc can't put the blame on Google, Google has to accept the blame, thus forcing them to fix it snappy (hopefully like we've seen with the radio haha)!
coming from touch pro 2 the N1 is amazing
gotta be honest i miss the keyboard but its alright
just the fact that the phone has a 1ghz processor tells me that they are palnning to keep it for a while. ive had an iphone 3g too and so far i still like the n1 the best ...
just one problem so far - the youtube player is stupid and slow... =[
other than that 5 stars

Are people still getting dust under the screen...or has that been fixed.I'm debating if I should get the N1.I had the G1 and loved all the mods you could do to it and the N1 has twice the specs so it's a powerhouse and the only phone out there close to those specs is the HD2.Man I just can't decide, maybe I should wait till all the kinks are worked out.

I don't know if there is a limit. But if there is, then there's even LESS reason to send it in right away, like so many people are doing, and then getting phones with the dust issue once again. Get the phone, enjoy, send it back at 11 months.

Yea I hocked my N1 to the lucky bidder.
I don't really know what I didn't like about it. It felt truly like it wasn't the BEST smartphone experience I could have had. Everything just felt, weird? Slow? Uncoordinated? I don't know. Its a fine piece of machinery no doubt but I don't think I was ready for the inherent clusterfuck Android is.
And in all seriousness I probably will come back to this. But for now...
Its back to the Razr. Most reliable thing in existence.
Rofl, back to the Razr? Most reliable phone in existence? You've got to be F'n kidding me, right?
You can't be serious.. a RAZR? Welcome to 1999. Lol -That's like browsing the web with a potato.
It's ok, the Nexus one, two, three, four.. are all waiting for you.
There's no waving emoticon?
Well, enjoy I guess. No disrespect intended here, but if you're fine w/ a Razr... Then it obvious you really don't need, nor WANT, a smartphone. That's not meant to be an insult, but rather a simple observation. Smart phones are about everything OTHER than the phone portion in my mind. For me, that's the last thing my N1 does .
Good luck.
That's sad... I sure hope it enjoying your razr, gotta admit its a very reliable phone, I once threw it at someone and left him unconscious. Helped me get out of a potential danger. LOL
The nexus one isn't for everyone I guess, specially the technology challenged

I'm not sure what you mean by slow and uncoordinated. Please elaborate. I have never seen a phone as quick and responsive as the N1. If you're a hardcore blackberry fan they you probably wouldn't like the N1 anyway.

I bought the razr when it first came out and it was 600.00 on a contract. I had it two days, dropped it, and it landed on the corner hinge. The area that cracked is so thin that the screen came unattached and all i had was a keypad and speakerphone to make calls on. I had to send it back to motorola because at&t wouldn't insure it, and they lost it. I got it back 3 months later locked, and they wouldn't send me a code so I had to pay for one.
Never buy motorola without a swap plan in place, they lunch too hard on getting things done.

The nexus definitely feels a little unstable in many respects. But with its hardware and being presumably on the top of Google's mobile priorit list, this phone has more potential than any other phone out there. Its almost as smooth as the iPhone with the potential to put the iPhone to shame. Just gotta be patient and let google iron out the software. This baby's still a baby!

Their phones really are quite ugly, though, if we're talking about design rather than build quality (which the dust issue qualifies as).
I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.

If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.

I would say that sprint will switch it for you if you complain enough, and to the correct person; however there is zero chance of a white evo unless because of the variance in SKUs.
I have had the screen replaced twice on my Evo for dust in the upper left corner. This defect was corrected but the scecond screen I got was also one of the originals. The third I have now appears to be the one with the revised gasket.
Youre going to get hella flamed, but meh, its the internet.
Anyways, YES sprint will replace it. They replaced a friends evo for dust, and my sisters hero that had dust. I plan on selling mine to get my next phone too
I have a scratch coming from the upper part of the screen going right and down. It's very small right now.
I was freaking out because my last phone was a pre which cracked and slowly went across the screen.
My question is I know the screen is glass so is there a coating on the screen that is just scratched or do I now have to worry about it slowly spreading across my screen?
I dunno man but if that was my phone I would be sick to my stomach. I know what some of you are thinking. Christ, its just a damn phone. True, but I am very careful with my phones and treat them like they're my baby. God I'm so embarassed admitting this!
The first and only time I let someone use my epic, they immediately dropped it on the concrete. It had a case on it and I don't think the phone was damaged but I cussed at them anyways (it was a customer too). I will NEVER again let someone touch my phones after that incident.
Hahaha. I lost 3 of my 6 pres to the usb crack.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm slightly worried about my phone too.. it does look like there might be a crack towards one side of my screen. I bet we're just traumatized by the pre where if you waited out a problem, it didn't get better. The good thing, I guess, is that I got used to dealing with asurion.

Nah I am the same way. It's weird cuz I have no clue where it could have even came from. I've never dropped it, never remember it scratching on anything and no one really plays with my phone

How does it work? Is there a 2.1 OC kernel? I haven't been keeping up. I was thinking of digging mine out to try out the new webos when I first read about it on precentral, but I forget it exists most of the time now. I never thought I'd buy into android, but htc phones are great.
