I'm so excited I just ordered mine today, I also have a Cliq made my Motorola...I wouldn't advise anyone to buy one...Motorola can't even update the thing until 3 months later, it still has major issues...Can't answer calls, constantly droping calls and all that crapola Blur integrated with it..So I order my nexus today.. I feel like i just bought a Lexus....lol but I'm happy any comments on the phone? bugs? anything i should know when getting it? Because I did some research and haven't found anything crazy, seems google is keeping it updated and fixing everything it can on the spot.
Congrats, you're gonna' LOVE the phone.
I ordered mine on day one and haven't had any problems with it at all.
I installed 'Better Keyboard' because the only thing lacking, for me, on this phone was the keyboard.. although it's not THAT bad.
Over the past year I've had the Palm Pre, HTC Hero, iPhone 3Gs and the Nexus One.
The Nexus One is by FAR my favorite device.
Enjoy.
its the best phone ive ever had outta 13 devices by far.. you're gonna love it
Phone is fantastic.
Keyboard wise:
Install HTC IME (available on this forum) or Swype(also availbale on here). Both are free and far better then stock. Neither requires root or shouldnt.
So there isn't any lagging when using the nexus? Such as when you click a button it takes about 10 seconds for it to respond, or when you type fast it doesn't catch anything?
10 seconds? You gotta be kidding This monster doesn't know what lag is.
I've had my Nexus One for about a month already. I'm very very pleased.
I recommend reading this thread for tips and tricks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624033&highlight=tips+tricks
my Wifes cliq is such a piece of sh!t. U will LOVE the n1 congratz
Is it really necessary to start a whole new thread to tell us that you ordered a nexus? I know its exciting and all getting the phone but it's adds more clutter to the boards that isn't needed.

No seriously what is not needed is your remark. This is a board it thrives on the amount of posts/threads created.
wikipedia message boards/online communities and you will maybe gain some knowledge about how this kind of stuff works.
To the O.P you will love this phone. I went from iphone 3g to the g1, to palm pre, mytouch 3g to this and it is by far the best phone I have ever had the pleasure in dealing with.
Congratz on your exciting new phone...it fly's first class!
hey guys, for those who have got their new nexus one recently, can you tell me if the touchscreen of the new batch is behaving well? I had mine on the third day after it was released. it had the touchscreen problem. and now i have sent it back for a refund. however, i REALLY love this phone, and am considering ordering a new one again. so, here comes my concern.
Thanks in advance.

Yes I'll report back to you tommorrow when i get off work, I have to go pick it up from fed ex.. ...I feel like a kid that can't go to sleep because they are going to disney world....
Congrats...I took the plunge and ordered one today too.
In the UK, after import duty, import VAT and DHL's charge for the privilege of them submitting your N1 to customs (yeah they charge for that too!) the N1 costs ~£490 (~$760US) ...a little too steep for me!
I pre-ordered my HTC Desire 2 days ago from clove.co.uk for £430. Roll on April!
So I just realized today, whenever i first got my phone (i think its been 1 week or 2 now), one of the first things i opened was tmobile tv, i remember it saying something about 30 day free trial, I was wondering will it charge me after 30 days? If so, how do i cancel it?
This is an exceptionally good question. I haven't accepted their trial yet because I planned to wait to start until I had time to play with it. That said, I figured I'd look up the answer for you so I could post a good natured poke of "Google is your friend". Turns out Google doesn't know either and by now I'm seriously questioning if TMOB knows!
I found 4 artiicals on TMO News that were almost completely content free, so much for truth in naming. I did find a reference that the new win-7 abomination will have free tv. Seems if anyone would pay for TV people stupid enough to buy win-7 would be the ones. Still that may imply MT4G will be free as well. Of course that begs the question exactly what is it a trial of.
By this time I was fairly obsessed and checked my account. According to TMOB the only upgrade they are currently dangling is the caller tunes thing. IMO this is just about the only thing you can do with a phone that is more annoying than RING-RING. But I suppose some people like it.
My several years old opinion of cellco tv service is that it compares very poorly to just about any other form of video consumption available. Of course that was Sprint and they compare very unfavorably to just about everything. So, maybe things are different, but until I see it I remain skeptical.
So ultimately I am unable to answer your question. Might be time to just call and ask them. But where's the fun in that?!
When you open the tmobile tv app it pops up a message stating how many days you have left on your trial. Just go into the help, subscriptions, and unsubscribe. Simple as that. I just did that last night.

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.
100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p
unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..
got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later
Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye
I just got this email the other day. Im probably going to go ahead and do it

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.
Hi,
I have an HTC One M8 back panel, perfect condition, speaker covers, condition not sure, in a box, not going to go look, a plastic case, and maybe some other bits. Free to whomever wants them, I'll pay for shipping in the US, the cheapest, slowest method, or if for some reason you really needed these asap, you could paypal me money for speedy shipping. I'd rather not just throw them away. Frankly, I may have an entire phone somewhere if I did, if I do, I can send that, too. Again, no charge, just hate to discard it. I'm pretty sure it works, I just moved on from it.
Best,
Spencer

THREAD CLOSED! I guess the two weeks already passed.
Most of you know about package disabler pro and know it's sold on the play store and a website well this guy has SEVERAL TIMES now deleted the app from the play store thereby causing EVERYONE'S license key to no longer work and this whacko has the nerve to tell me to BUY IT AGAIN from the website when I already freaking bought it from BOTH the play store AND his website and the license keys MAGICALLY stop working and I gave this guy the benefit of doubt and bought it again for my Note 20 Ultra and we ALL know this phone JUST came out and guess what? My license key MAGICALLY stopped working YET AGAIN!! After emailing this guy multiple times about it and SHOWING him PROOF that I bought it from both places his response is to BUY IT AGAIN?!! He tells me to get the money back from the play store when he knows damn well the time has passed for requesting a refund!! This guy's plainly ripping people off and if you buy it don't say you weren't warned because you have been now!!
Do a complaint to Google and show them proof maybe they will remove his app completely for violating the rules. Since what he's doing isn't acceptable and is criminal offence to keep removing app then put it back and you gota buy it again.

Try doing a complaint to Google first and once they take action, then do refund request that should then be approved by Google.
Right now they have no idea what developer is doing.

This is the developer I was just complaining about in the SD beta thread. This is the response you get when asking about having to buy the app again.
There is no guarantee that my, or any application, will continue to function or be supported forever. Because of this the Google Play store refund policy allows for 48 hours to request a refund.
Due to the nature of this application, and the fact that it violates Samsung's license agreements, I am unable to provide a refund, for any reason, after 48 hours.
At this point I am spending a lot of time responding to Samsung terminating my licenses and am losing money. While I do not believe you should have to pay for an application multiple times I also do not believe I should have to work for free; or worse pay to work.

Credit card companies ALWAYS give a refund(chargeback) when you complain about a merchant that screwed you...ALWAYS(at least here in Canada
Isn't worth all this effort. I've lost far more money from 5 to even 20 spots falling out of my pocket in the last year.
If anything take your wrath out on the carriers and Sammy.
Or consider it the cost of doing business and cut your losses.
What's truly frustrating is crapware running amuck while you search for a package blocker that works... especially if you can't find one.
Also note that there are several apps by this name. At least one paid version that works on the 10+ and isn't on Playstore. It may not work on the latest Sammy versions though.
For this type of app it's best to not use Playstore.

that is different app, ccswe which has for years worked without any issues until Samsung decided to enforce licencing rules on it too. Unlike pdp, ccswe dev is far more honest and professional in his interactions with us users. That said both pdp and ccswe are at the mercy of Knox licensing and once the licence is withdrawn then all they keys issued under it are made invalid which in turn brakes the app functionality. New keys require new payment and it is up us whether it is worth to be paying for something that might stop working soon after purchasing
I bought package disabler pro in 2017 and again in March 2020 and now its stopped working again. I keep all updates OFF on my phone (by using package disabler pro mind you) so how could it suddenly break?l. Updates do nothing but break a complex ecosystem I have setup so I must have them disabled. Suddenly Samsung cloud is prompting me for updates and I use package disabler to disable all Samsung apps.
Is there a package disabler pro alternative? I don't want to buy this app a 3rd time, especially when I didn't even get a full year out of the last purchase.

Why post that when we're not buying sh!t from that developer again? I find it funny that the developer says he's at the mercy of Samsung's licensing when his website apps working just fine right now but only the play store apps license keys become invalidated after he removes it from the play store! When I bought it from his website when it stopped working his response was that he updated the app and I don't care if you update your app as a developer what I do care about is when you update your app and then decide to screw everyone who bought the app and get rid of their license key when you could EASILY just give them a new key when you show proof that you paid for it which I have shown him multiple times for multiple different devices only for him to either ignore or tell me to BUY IT AGAIN or say I'll give you 30% off.. Nah screw your 30% off app developers like POWER AMP music player I bought ONE time YEARS ago and it's ALWAYS worked across multiple devices never needing to buy keys over and over again! This guy's acting like he hasn't made any money which is straight up B.S. because at 3 dollars a pop times more than a million buys that alone is over 3 million dollars and then making that million people keep buying it over and over again he's made a LOT OF MONEY so no this developer is FULL OF CRAP!!
Yes you are right!!! I will never buy this PKG Disabler Pro again!!!!!
@ MrMike2182
Yes I know! He needs to know as much as possible about the application. Google Play should impose or "complete" malicious omissions about the update. In the past I warned just like you! Pointless. People buy! I buy and ask for a refund. Every time, when I change the phone.

You won't get much done about it I hate to say but that seems to be the truth.. I have contacted Google outside of the play store to get them involved since they don't know what's going on in there and I have another reply this morning that I just replied to and sent them screenshots of conversations between myself and the developer because he's telling one person one thing and then telling another person something completely different i will post the reply from this morning from Google.
"Hi*Mike,
Thank you for contacting Google Support!*
We appreciate your patience waiting for our response and we apologize for the delay. Let me resolve your concern to the best of my ability.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with this app developer since the license key is not working then it will ask you to buy it again. I will do my best to help you sort this out.
As I checked on your records, it shows that my colleague who helped you before tried to refund request on your behalf however it was not granted as the money was already paid to the app developer and I know that this is something that you did not expect since you paid for something that you can't use and I totally understand where you're coming from.
And we expect them to support their apps, respond to user questions about paid apps or in-app purchases in a timely manner. To help you escalate this app developer, if you can send us some screenshot of your conversation with this app developer especially for those things that they sent to you so I will be able to escalate this to our specialist team.
Any additional information that you can send me would help me to better assist you. (I can receive .jpg, .pdf and .doc attachments by email.).
Once I receive that information, I can start checking the best options for this concern. Thanks in advance for providing these details. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hoping for your continued safety and health.
Within 48 hours of*our last interaction, you'll receive a short survey via email. We’d love to hear your feedback about our interaction today and your overall experience with Google support.
Thanks!
Jay
The Google Support Team"

This is what they said to me after I requested the refund..
"Hi,*
We received your refund request of $3.23 for Package Disabler Pro (Samsung), Transaction ID(REMOVED), but we can't provide a refund for this purchase because it doesn't meet our policy. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
You can learn more about our Google Play refund policies*here.
To prevent accidental or unwanted purchases in the future, we recommend that you*turn authentication on,*check your authentication settings, or*change your password.
*Thanks,*The Google Support Team"
MY REPLY WAS..
"That's fine but why does the play store keep allowing him to put this app back on the play store AFTER he rips everyone off by making their license key no longer work and then tell us to go buy it from his website when I have MULTIPLE TIMES and all of the keys MAGICALLY stop working and yet he's allowed to keep putting it back on the play store?! That's like buying a car from the dealership and then after using it for 2 weeks they tell you have to buy the car all over again! WHAT FOR?!"
As I said I really don't think they care and the reason being? They got their CUT OF THE PIE! Simple as that..
Same thing happened to me. My purchase was a month old.
I applied for a refund and was rejected by Google.
Also, I emailed the developer and no response since 5 days.
This is fraud in clear day light.
Same thing
This developer has been an issue for a couple of years now.

Was google clear on the fact that the app is now disabled. Not just no longer listed but actually disabled? I get the canned response from them if they think the app still works but was delisted but I would be pushing them harder. A month old I would be charging it back with documentation. That *may* put your payment method with google in jeopardy until resolved however.
