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!
Early this morning, I unplugged my G2 from the outlet before leaving to work. The damn thing just shut off and won't turn on again...
I tried the power button, the optical pad button+power, took out the battery and back in multiple times, many times plugged in and not plugged in.
What a POS phone, I mean we get a 1.3gb usable space not the advertised 4gb, it also "corrects" itself with a hidden mirror OS so it's very difficult to root, plus the damn loose hinges and the screen ribbon exposed when the hinges are fully opened, the screen also has a very subtle yellow hue, plus reports of random reboots, market problem where google goggles won't install, live wallpapers crashing and freezing up, and finally the POS just dying on me when I need it for work.
If you have a G2 with no problems (yeah right) then congrats. I'm really considering withdrawing from the extended contract and going with the iFail.
Sorry for the rant, just a little pissed off and the customer service lady was a real *****.

Yup. Oh BTW. The e39 is also a POS.
You're not alone, man. Between this and the Vibrant headache, I fear my days with T-Mo are numbered. It was a fun decade, but it doesn't look as if they plan to change their course anytime soon.
Unless, of course, they want to start carrying the Desire HD?
We'll see what G2 #2 brings tomorrow. If it's more of the same problems, I will be a disappointed man.
This happened to me too. But I managed to power it back on after fiddling with removing the battery.
Yeah my g2 refused to turn on a couple of times now without taking out the battery and putting it back in.

Sweet observation. You should stay away from both then.
I don't blame you. T-Mobile's customer service has been **** for me too. First they tell me I can exchange it at the store only to have the store tell me no, sorry you have to ship it back. Then they make me pay for shipping, too. As far as the G2 goes, it broke while in my pocket, so no thanks. Maybe they'll rework the hinges soon. Otherwise, I'm just gonna use this crappy ass G1 until the Desire HD comes around.
mines shut off this morning.. first, my on-screen Android Keyboard went missing.. so I shut it off, turned it back on. Then it asked me if I'd give access permission to Google App Engine?? Are they going to start monitoring my apps now?? Just asking? Don't know what that does.. anyways, so after that.. my G2 just sat there til I wen t to go check the time and my phone was off! tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't! So I took the battery out and rebooted. Its on now but this is the second time this week! And not to mention my hinges are starting to become an issue as well! Not cool! They need to bring the Desire HD over so I can replace my G2 with that!
Yeah it happen to my g2 as well. This phone is really not making my android experience any good. tmo need to address these issues ASAP, and i work for them!!! im going to check the "known issues" on the g2 when i get into work 2mrow and see wat is up with this.
i suggest you all who is having these issues to give tmo a call so they have enough calls from customers to generate a ticket with HTC and lvl3 techs to address these issues. Just because tmo is not on these forums and reading about customers issues.
my phone turned off yesterday and also this morning. idk if maybe me trying to snooze the alarm accidently turned it off so im putting my phone in a diff location tonight and checking tomorrow-- if its off tomorrow im calling tmo asap!
My G2 just shut off itself when I was replying to a text. I pulled the battery and reseated it and try turning on but it does not do anything. If I connect it to the charger, the orange charging led just flashes on and off. It's been 20 minutes and I have not been able to turn it back on.
OMG, the desire's symptom comes to G2
Mine as well.
Well my G2 just turned it self off as well today. It was unresponsive to the power button. Took battery out and re-installed and powered back on and has been working ever since but thats just not right.
Edit: Not sure if this is worth anything but this happened shortly after I put the market widget on my home. I've had Beautiful Widget running for a week so don't think that was the problem but not even sure if the market one caused it but thought it might be worth mentioning.
Mine has also soft reboot back to the G2 screen 2 or 3 times now. Dunno what's going on

I have had this happen twice. In fact, my phone is in that state now. I am going to the TMO store. However, if I decide to return the phone, it isn't for this issue alone. As a side note, I thought this had happened to me with the TMO phone I was playing with in store before I bought mine.
If you take the battery out, wait about 10seconds, and re-install it you will be able to power the phone back up. Anyway, this behavior could be due to either a bad part or a driver problem.
*UPDATE*
Sadly, after talking to the TMO rep at the store, I elected to return the phone rather than exchange. While they wouldn't say how many, they have gotten "several" phones back because of this. My hats off to the Seattle TMO store as they made the return non-hassle and because I was returning it due to a defect, I didn't have to pay the restocking fee.

Sound advice, especially regarding the e39.
Hey guys,
After another freeze, I was able to actually connect via ADB. The shell was working fine.
Anyways, I did a logcat, and I saw the attached code looping.
http://pastebin.com/DV3uVYJg
It just keeps looping on these audio logs.
Any thoughts?
Anyone else get logcats similar or different than this?

2nd that. 10 chars
I had the same issue with my phones screen would just shut off and I would have to pull the battery out just to get it back on. I called tmobile and the answer I get is "that is not a known issue but def we will look into it". So all I did was go back to a tmobile store and trade it out for another one. Hopefully this won't happen again.

Ah, what an exciting day.
I ordered my Asus TF101-A1 on Friday, and just had UPS confirmation that it was delivered about 30 minutes ago. Too bad I'm stuck at work, but as soon as I get home I will be on it all night long. I simply cannot wait to see what kind of custom ROMs are going to come for this tablet, I'm so excited.
After playing with it for a few hours, I will post my initial thoughts and impressions for all you who are considering buying, assuming you can find one in stock somewhere!
Congrats
welcome to the club. Ive been neglecting my laptop for the past 3 weeks..lol
leave it on, remote in on the TF (why do i want to say tranny?..hahaha), just took it on a road trip and was able to tether off an old Treo Pro... Played games, took pics/video with it, and didnt notice any screen glare in the day light..
all is well thus far.

enjoy
... and dont panic about negative posters on the site there are plenty of hugely impressed and pleased users about including me
Yeah, I'm not too worried. I hate Apple and iOS, and I'm the guy that says iOS is for old or non technical people who like things simple. I love Android, as I have been using an Android phone since 1.6. I'm so ready for 3.1 on my TF! I can see it now...sitting on the couch, remoting into my PC and both my servers. Going to be awesome.
Congrats and enjoy!!!
Make sure that you update to 3.1 before anything else, it is well worth it!!
rio
let me guess, slickdeals and amazon?
I just got mine, not too impressed with the stock rom, and the right speaker being louder than the left. hmm

Sears.com actually, haha. I found myself checking nowinstock hourly, until I found it show sears had it in stock, went and immediately ordered it. Shipped, it was like $417 after some $5 off rebate I got over Memorial Day weekend.
Heading home from work now to go play with it!

Well, so far so good. Played with it all night long, got it rooted and flashed to Primordial v3.1. Gotta say, I love it! I personally think the tablet feels great, and has amazing power. Can't wait to try the 1.6Ghz Kernel and see how that runs.
If I had to list cons for the TF101, I can only think of two. The stock keyboard can be a little laggy, but who uses the stock keyboard anyway? I'm still trying out different keyboards to see which I like best, so I'm not concerned about it. Also, the charging adapter. I wish the adapter actually clicked into the bottom of the tablet, instead of just sliding in. Think apps proprietary connector, unfortunately. But I guess it's good that it doesn't click in so if jerk on it or something, it will just slide out instead of tearing something up. Would be nice if the charger cord was a little longer, but eh...no biggie.
Overall, I love it.
Humm...I'm probably one of the unlucky one. I received my note4 yesterday, and the phone kept freeze on me. Once it happened, I have to pull the battery, if I don't eventually it will reboot by itself. I have tried twice factory reset and also removed the sdcard but no help. I haven't install any third party apps except for FB and FB messenger. I called VZ tech support and they told me they didn't see any of my issue being reported yet. They also nice enough tried to located any local verizon store so I can just swap out my phone there, guest what, I'm an unlucky guy. No one has the white one in stock (they do have black one). So I called back VZ and they said they are going to overnight a new one out but I need to pay 299$ deposit (bill to my account, no need to put on credit card). Once I sent back the old device, they will credit back to my account, which is not bad. I just want to post this out here and if anyone ever has issue with your note 4 please feel free to post your experience and how you resolved the issue. Hopefully no one should need to post their issue, it's not FUN at all. Thanks!!!:crying:

Mine froze and rebooted once. I was looking at some pictures on photos backed up to Google+. Didn't do it anymore since than.
I think I found the issue. Every time I put the phone in "Battery saving" mode, let it sits for about 1 hrs and bang it froze. I removed and it's working great. In battery saving mode, the phone is a bit stuttering and laggy and little warm even very low usage, however without saving mode, it super smooth and flying. Well anyway I'm getting a new one from Verizon next week. You guys should try out the battery saving mode to see if you have any issue...Also I heard that they released an update xxxJ4 for note4 which suppose to increase battery life and added more stability but I don't see it for the Verizon model, is anyone has the info on this???
EDIT: nope just froze and reboot again...

You aren't alone. I had to return my Note 4 for the same issue. So far the Samsung rep at Best Buy says it's only effecting VZW phones and it has to do with an update Samsung pushed out. VZW adds crap to their updates and according to Samsung Field Service Support at 8pm CST on Thursday there were 7 issues. We tried factory resetting and a fresh software reload directly from Samsung to no avail .

Now I feel better, others do have issue too. Hey thanks for the reply.. If issue caused by an update, I would think more people will be impacted by this?
verizon Note 4 freeze and reeboot
New to forums and postings. This is my 3rd note product, had the 2, 3 and just received the Note 4 3 days ago. Let me start by saying 1 word. FRUSTRATING.....
i have had this p.o.s freeze and reeboot on me not less than 10 times a day since out of the box. It happpens when sitting still, typing, viewing videos, plugged in, not plugged in, case on or off. VERIZON says sorry sir, we have no updates or other reported problems. I Guess the only saving grace is it reboota itself. I sont have to take battey out. My son gote Note 4 at same time...same carrier and no problems. Wife got new note 3 same day hers freezes and she has to pop out battery. New note 4 and note 3 replacements on way. Worst phone i have owned to date.
You are not alone my T-Mobile note 4 is unstable too.
This appears to be a worldwide problem. Many Note4 users are complaining the same thing in my country. IMHO, it could be exynos' problem.
I am still on Kitkat, occasional problems are caused by SwiftKey, which doesn't load sometimes, but I never experienced something like you describe.

I've had my Note 4 for nearly a year now, and I don't think it has ever frozen. Clearly, you guys have defective phones.
This was just the other night. I was at the gym doing my thing when my phone starts acting up. Freezing, dropping wifi connection and the apps were behaving oddly.
I contributed all of this to the lollipop that I decided to ignorantly update to my phone.
Anyway as just the other night I begin searching and piecing it all together to downgrade it back to kitkat. I was tired woke up at 4am and took me 7 hours to figure it out.
Once I finally did though I backed up my pictures, video and thought I was in the clear. Well during the flash process I made 1st mistake and put the file that was for nexus 5 kitkat not nexus 4. So it never booted up. I reflashed again to kitkat. It booted. And by this time I thought I was in the clear and all is well.
Come to find I being the stupid dumb animal I was forgot to backup my text messages.
I can't describe the loss. I am SO pissed at myself being I literally held them all in my hand not even a day ago. And it is burning me up to lose SOOO much so quick. On top of that feeling I have no control to get them back. I had the files all on my pc sitting there and I picked and choosed. I should of just moved it all over. Then maybe maybe I would have a chance. Ugh.
Now I prolly am screwed but I literally will do most anything to get these back. I am desperate. As I had many conversations going with a lot of my friends and others in fitness industry and now I have to start from scratch again.... I would rather most definitely not.
I contacted a forensic team to discuss possibility and they said less than 1% chance..... I have heard of developers being able to freeze phones, steal data, and everything else under the sun. Please is there anyone out there who can help me? A google developer who knows something he never was meant to share. Im looking for anything. I tried different recovery softwares and they found nothing. I really don't want to give up hope.
I am so sad and pissed to lose so much. It like someone took a nuclear digital bomb and blew up my world. My digital ecosystem. It never crossed my mind that they would be gone
Please if anyone out there can help and if they know something I haven't tried I would be indebted and most grateful if you would be willing to help me. If someone can will you help me please?
