    Photo Backup Options

    For an upcoming trip, I plan to use my Droid Maxx for photo backup by using a USB OTG adapter to transfer JPEG images from my camera's SD card to a folder on the phone's SD card. In testing the workflow, this has worked well. The issue I'm having is with my attempt to do a cloud backup of the...

    Thinnest Possible Rubberized Finish

    My goal is to find the thinnest possible rubberized finish for my Nexus One. I'm not looking for protection, in particular, just to keep the phone from slipping out of my coat pocket when I bend over or out of my hands. I saw a relatively expensive rubberized plastic case advertised as 1mm...

    Image Saturation Puzzle

    Read a review of the Nexus One that complained about how oversaturated colors appear on the screen. Hadn't noticed this myself; it occurs to me, though, that photos taken with the N1 look great on the screen but significantly undersaturated anywhere else (including in print). I wonder whether...

    Google Maps Frustration

    Android Maps nicely syncs starred locations between Google Maps and Android device (N1 in my case). But there is one simple thing I can't figure out how to do, and it's hard to believe that it's not possible. The following illustrates the issue: Imagine that I have two friends, one named Dave...

    Praise for Vignette

    Had two complaints about the Nexus One Camera (which, in good light, takes remarkably good photos for a phone): First, I hated to have to press the shutter where the phone places it as it seemed a contorted motion; I wanted to be able to tap the screen anywhere. Second, I wanted in-camera...

    Managing Touchdown Notifications

    Just installed the Touchdown on my Nexus One. Links with my firm's Exchange server perfectly and generally works as it should. HOWEVER, it is driving me crazy that I can't seem to manage notifications to the phone. What I want is to receive a notification prior to every appointment but to NOT...

    Video Aspect Ratio

    The Nexus One shoots video in a 720 x 480 pixel configuration, which is common for widescreen recording. But the pixels seems to be square (though this description may be an abuse of a term of art), which means that the target aspect ratio for display is 1.5 x 1 (rather than 16:9, which is 1.77...

    What is in the Update (other than the Toys)

    Lots of posts on how to download the Nexus One update before the OTA option (scheduled for the end of the week) and lots of posts on the joys of Multi-Touch. Then there's Native Google Goggles and an updated maps feature. I understand the interest in each of these, but personally I'm willing to...

    Bluetooth Advice

    After I was unable to connect my old Bluetooth headset to the Nexus One, thinking it was a version incompatibility, I went out and bought a new Plantronics Voyager Pro, running Bluetooth 2.1. Still could not connect initially because the Nexus One would not recognize the device. You can...

    Help Swipe to Answer Phone: Alternatives?

    The one complaint I have about the Nexus One is the difficulty in swiping to answer a call. There have been similar complaints about the Droid. (See this thread: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/38273-problem-swiping-answer-droid-phone-calls.html .) Is there a solution for the Nexus...

    Image Stabilization for Nexus One

    Digital zoom, digital filters, and digital special effects and the like are fine, but can be replicated after the photos are downloaded to a computer. So my main interest in a camera app is one that takes advantage of the Nexus One's motion sensor to provide image stabilization (which can't, at...

    Nexus One Volume Redux

    Yes, I've read the threads on the problem (or lack of problem) with the low volume on the Nexus One speakers. The threads quickly devolve into a debate about whether the volume is or isn't low, some saying that it is, others saying that it isn't (and suggesting that those who think the volume...

    eBook Reader Problems

    Although I have read the threads on using Android devices as an eBook reader, I am unable to get a clear picture of what's available. I generally buy eBooks from Sony's store, which at least sometimes delivers epub files. These must be encoded as restricted though, because neither of the two...

    SnapPhoto Compatibility

    Any word on a version of SnapPhoto that will be compatible with Android 2.1 (and the Nexus One)? I tried to install the latest version in the Market; it froze the camera entirely and even uninstalling did not restore the camera (though removing and reinstalling the battery after SnapPhoto was...

    Help Slow Picasa Slide Show

    The phone is a joy to use and one of the joys is having access, through a sync, to all my Picasa web albums in the phone's Gallery. It's as if the photos are resident on the phone. One problem, though, is that even when connected through wifi (rather than the slower 3G) if I scroll through more...
