some small things worrying me before i purchase a nexus one.

ok so i am 99% sure i will buy the nexus one, i just have some concerns.
for one i have been hearing ever since the phone was released about the dust issue, also heard that htc knows about this and would fix what was needed. so the qeustion about this is if this is a valid reason for me to hold of on buying a nexus one?
the second thing is that i am not sure i want to root yet (probably willl^^) but the concern is that the stock kernel as i understand it only supports half of the ram in the nexus one leaving the other half useless. will google deploy a kernel update anytime soon and how much does it show when using the stock device that such a big part of the ram isn´t used?
thanks in advance

ignore the fud... hundreds of thousands of people are very happy with their stock N1..
if you get it, and are not happy with stock... you got options.
can't say that about the other contenders.

i got mine yesterday.
the screen itself seems fine. the screen cover isn't peeling up but i have a rather large spec of dust under it? no idea if it was there from when it was built or magically worked it's way under there...
good thing it has a 12 month hardware warranty i guess? i wonder if unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty for something so obviously unrelated.

just got off the phone with HTC support. if you root/unlock the boot loader the entire warranty is voided. even if it has dust under the screen.
hopefully someone figures out how to relock it soon..
but ANY dust under the screen will be enough of a reason for a hardware replacement within the 12 month warranty period if you haven't done anything to void the warranty.

I've had mine since launch with no dust issues. The RAM thing was originally brought up by Google developers who said they are working on implementing it.

Also had mine since launch with no dust issues or any other bugs! It still flies with the current ram (should get more ram update from google soon). Play with it a while before you want to root!

does the N1 really only have 256MB of ram currently accessible? that would explain why i only tend to have ~110MB of ram free after shutting all applications down.
and seriously, 10 minutes in the hacking and development sections or the theme area and you want to root.

Been very happy. Never had a problems with dust or the stock rom. Plenty of customization options out there for the stock N1's too.
Go for it and it you have smooth sailing after a few months maybe you'll root it.

the dust issue is a very isolated and rare case... you will get a new phone no charges toward you if you have this issue...
as for the stock kernel, there is plenty of memory... i ran stock for the first month and a half before i rooted to the dark side... never had a big slow down issue and even then just get a task manager... i was getting like 100mb of ram on stock with almost everything closed

Yes on only 256MB active on the N1! There is a hack in development if you need more and can't wait for the ota.
True about the fun after root for most, but this was the op's 1st post.

Two things... what does "fud" mean? As for the 256mb, it hasn't been an issue yet. My phone's logged over 220 hours of uptime without any slowdowns and I haven't killed a single task in that time. Stock ROM..not rooted and locked bootloader. I'm confident that Google will update the kernel soon...hopefully along with a better tweak to the 3G connectivity.

Thanks for all your answers! Im definently buying i nexus one soon was thinking about getting desire instead but hate sense and the droid eris still has not been rooted so the same could happen with the desire.
Thanks again!

You guys better not be fibbing.
Im gonna be so mad if this thing sucks.
Does anyone use swype on it instead?
I use it on my G1, im just curious anyones opinion

Yeah.. xda-developers membership is like an addiction. Once to root(android)/HSPL(WinM) you can never go back... every next phone you buy, you want to flash it with custom ROMs.

LG G4 Recall

DELETED

Haven't heard anything and like you, a search turned up nothing. Keep us updated if you hear anything else. Seems really strange. What could be so bad that would warrant pulling remaining stock?
Sent from my VS986

I haven't heard anything either. Keep us posted.

DELETED

Very interested if this would be happening with Verizon too.

DELETED

Then they haven't been working there long enough to remember the LG Rumor debacle, or the Palm Pre. When I was fixing rumors due to shredding flex cables and faulty charging ports, our manager authorized free replacements with brand new Rumor 2s, which broke... Just as much, really. Seriously, the original Rumor's port would snap off if a baby sneezed in the same zip code. I have nightmares about that phone and the 65 billion screws it had.
The Palm Pre had the Oreo effect, where the two halves would just start twisting freely, like you were taking apart an oreo. And of course, Palm wouldn't let us repair them, so we had to just swap them with refurbs. We had people that were on their 7th, 8th, 9th devices, but didn't want a different model because of Palm loyalty, and the fact that the Pre had a REALLY nice OS, as compared to early Android.

One of the main hardware issues is the screen splitting down the middle and then becoming unresponsive.

The forum does not seem to be exploding with this issue, most we find is this thread on it here and see my post lower down that links to sprint users. All of two pages
Things are quiet because LG is replacing the screens under warranty. In my market they offer a 6 month after purchase screen replacement offer. Samsung does the same as well. This means if this problem does not occur within 6 months then it ain't going to happen.
Knowing that this issue may happen and if it does all it takes is a simple screen replacement that too under warranty means i would be less excited if this occurred. An inconvenience to head off to the service center but at least i know i will get it back very likely on the same day because this thing is easy to repair.
Not knowing this can happen otoh would be frightening.

Will be interesting what Sprint will say when I take mine in tomorrow......I will show them this for sure if I get any hassle......I just want my phone!! Grrrr!!

EU model H815

It's a recall that only effected the Sprint, not necessarily CDMA as Verizon is not impacted, but something Sprint added software wise that created a hardware issue. The major symptom is the screen half snow or static, but other issues such as overheating, freezes, bootloops, stuck on LG logo during boot, touch response issues and network connectivity issues. This effects all models manufactured prior to 10/5/15, in which LG modified the hardware to not have an issue with what ever Sprint does with their software. Knock on wood, the only issue I have had is the network connectivity (average 30% without signal) and constant dropping signal and jumping between 3G and LTE. Kinda a pain in the butt, but I do have to say its improved with ZV6, even though not completely gone. Mine was manufactured May 2015.

Rumor that power/volume might be moved to side of device is sad. I love the back buttons!

I'm hoping it has the modular design and removable batter. Even a removable battery would be enough to make me switch from Samsung.

i really like the back buttons but in my opinion i think that with the dual camera it would be ugly to leave volume buttons on the back

Nothing less than a fully unlockable Bootloader will make me even consider switching.

Except it doesn't run stock Android, can't be used on multiple carriers the same as the N6 can, doesn't get fast updates, will have much less dev support, isn't guaranteed to get root or unlocked bootloader, etc.

The way I interpreted it was that the G5 will still pale in comparison to pretty much any Nexus device because it doesn't run stock software or isn't easily unlockable.
If that wasn't your intention then I do apologize, but I do feel strongly that at this point even phones without Nexus like interfaces will still run better than Nexus devices because of the hardware choices that Google gives manufacturers for those specific devices (Although Google is starting to push the limit a bit with the latest Nexus releases).

I went from a LG G4 to the N6, three weeks later I went back to the G4. When the N6P came out, I purchased it hoping for the best. I tried... I just couldn't like it. I gave it to my son and then purchased the G4 with unlocked BL.
@geoff5093 I do understand and appreciate your point of view (thank god we all have one:good I have found that the one dinamic I truly love about the G4 is the feel in the hand. While this may not be a biggie to developers, or the crowd that wants root, I truly like when I can hold a phone and it just feels right

My sister's Moto G takes way too long to charge with it's original charger. Way over 5 hours even though the device is supposed to be a fastcharge one. If she uses a standard charger from her old phone, it takes about 2.5 hours which, I think is normal considering those chargers don't support fast charge.

Yeah I'm using a Samsung fast charger which is charging from 10% to full in 50mins

It feels too slow for me too. How do you know something is a good charger for this phone? You should look at voltages right?

Built-in, no. You'll most likely be able to use a 3rd party microUSB-to-Qi wireless charger receivers that can be found on Amazon for ~$12. Since the G4 lineup has a removable back plate, you might even be able to stick it inside the phone (if it doesn't fit, can just use a case).

Thanks for the responses, much appreciated

I'm excited about mine. I ordered one for my GF and I. I have the Note 5 but they are so slow with updates and I live down here in Colombia so walking around with the Note 5 isn't always the smartest. Plus all I use my phone for is work email, hangouts, whatsapp and skype. I will be getting mine next week and if for some reason I don't like it I can easily sell it down here. I think they run about $250-300 here in Colombia

Should've done some reseach, motorola is also quite slow with updates from what I've heard.

I've had motos before and they always released before Samsung. Half the time I have to flash third party to get the update before Samsung does the official release. Plus I don't need a $500 phone anymore. I can buy 4 of these Moto g from Amazon for the price I got the note 5 for.

I've previously had Samsung, LG, Moto and Huawei and the Moto's were the best on updating. Samsung was probably the worst but that was probably because they don't push out updates directly and instead let the providers do it. LG and Huawei, seem to make every phone end of life as soon as they release it.

Does anybody have "burn-in" problems on the screen? I know it's LCD but the icons on the notification bar burn-in extremely fast. The problem goes away 100% overnight, but what bothers me is how ridiculously fast the burn in occurs. Could my screen be defective?

I am experiencing terrible frame rates in the only two games I play on my device, Hearthstone and Pokemon Go.

One question. Does G4 have any restriction in Wifi tethering? The reason I asked is I got burned last time I got a Nexus 6P from Google and it does not allow Wifi tethering unless carrier's plan allows it.

Yes. It was confirmed on another site. Odd this is supposed to be the latest security update but they did t update the patch to June.
I'd love to hear some theory as of what's in this new build of the same kernel.

hopefully it includes a fix for the massive battery drain problems I've been having since the previous update...

It sure didn't help my Wi-Fi problems.

It is unbearable. WiFi doesn't last but seconds before it dies.
It's bad enough that I'm considering turning the device in for warranty repair. Five feet from my access point, it constantly disconnects. Does this until I finally reboot my device or disable WiFi long enough. Also, months later I am stuck on 7.0.0 where my wife on a Pixel XL has 7.1.2.
The screen scratches very easily and they have not updated their ShatterShield display laminate to be available for consumers. I have brought this to Motorola's attention several times but they insist I turn it into Verizon for warranty repair service for a few scratches and be without a device as well as pay the deductible to have a Lenovo repair tech replace the screen because I simply cannot buy the lens and replace it myself.
I have been with Lenovo/Motorola since the original Motorola Moto X. This will be my last Motorola/Lenovo device. I simply am not happy with their latest Verizon flagship. I very seriously wish I had purchased the Galaxy S8.

I was getting disconnects, even after a wipe but I think it was because of how I configured my routers. Plural. I was roaming from one to another and back.
Not getting a .1 update sucks but it's not surprising. I've had LG and my wife had has samsungs that
skipped 5.1 for example.
And the screen just sucks. I got a tempered glass and it feels better and takes scratches better than the plastic.
I hope they do something different with the Z2. The Motorola software is rather boring. I find AOSP 7.1 has more features.

After the Droid Turbo 2 Shattershield screen, many of us knew to put a tempered glass screen protector immediately on the Force. But I agree the Shattershield replacement screen not being available is ridiculous. I haven't had any WiFi problems, but that would be maddening.

One thing I know it fixed for me, I was having a weird charging issue where the phone would simply refuse to charge on certain chargers until I rebooted into recovery and cleared cache. That problem has gone away now.

I would like to buy a shattershield replacement for a Moto Z Force Droid I bought used. The shattershield is scratched up and the order online always says out of stock. I do not want to send my device for a repair I can perform myself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
