    Zaag vs Best Skins Ever

    Just wanted to share my experience. I had a Zagg IS on my original N1 (everywhere except screen) and have used them on other devices many times. The IS leaves a lot of the dark gray bottom unprotected. The outer frame on the front side has a top piece, 2 bottom pieces (one on each side of...

    Help What could cause dead pixels to appear?

    Just wondering if something specific could cause them or simply a quality issue. My first N1 (T-Mobile purchased day one) developed a tiny dead pixel after about a week of use. I returned it to HTC and the replacement I got didnt have any but about a week after I got it, a dead pixel...

    Help Question about connecting dock to speakers

    Am I missing something here? I connected the dock to a set of powered speakers I have that accept a 3.5" stereo plug. I am using the supplied RCA cable and connect that to an adapter that then goes to the speaker setup and no sound through the speakers. Is this not possible? Do I have to use...

    Help I downloaded a ringtone from myxer to N1 - where did it save file?

    I want to delete the file and cant see where it was saved. In settings it appears in the list of available ringtones but isnt in the media folder on SD card or download folder. I searched with Astro and it wasnt found either. Anyone know?

    Use an N1 for a week and try to go back to a Hero

    I am loving the N1 for so many reasons. Just yesterday a friend of mine asked me a how to Android question so I told him to show me his phone and I would show him how to do what he wanted. The screen aside, I would not be able to deal with the slowness of the Hero any longer. This one was the...

    ProClip Mounting System

    If you use the ProClip mounting system and happen to have a device holder for the original iPhone, it's a perfect fit for the N1. I really like the felt covering they only seem to use for iPhones and their universal holder so the N1 is well protected in car. ProClipUSA.com

    After a few days with N1 my personal thoughts.

    First off I have had a Sprint Diamond, Touch Pro, iPhone, iPhone 3G, 3GS, G1, Palm Pre, Sprint Hero, Moto Droid, GSM Unlocked Hero amongst many other phones over the past many years ever since that brick of a phone I bought at Radio Shack before a lot of you were ever around probably. I have...

    Google backup is pretty amazing, imo

    I had a Sprint Hero for about a month (little less) and then a Moto Droid for the same time. When I got the N1 yesterday and I signed in with my gmail account and it said it was synching my info and I thought that was my email and contacts but it also installed all of the apps I had installed...

    Why can't I format SD card in Hero?

    I am trying to format my sd card within the Hero. When I go to settings and then the SD card sub menu I can see the option to format the SD card but it's faded out and not available? I am sure it must be something simple I am not doing. I searched here and in Google but didn't see it. Can...

    Music Player vs. Ringdroid for Creating Ringtones

    It seems like the Music Player saves the ringtone to internal memory while Ringdroid saves it to sd card. I created several thru Ringdroid and set for contact ringtones and they only worked occasionally. Most times I would get default ringtone. I removed them from sd card and created a few...

    How To Create your own playlists on Droid

    I finally figured out how to create your own custom playlists right on Droid in music app. I dont want to use any software for this. I dragged all of my iTunes music onto sd card. All you need to do is open the music app on Droid and either select Albums, Artist or Songs and whatever Album...

    Did you notice the notification LED can flash different colors?

    I guess the developers need to take advantage of this but I have seen it flash white, green, red and blue. (All from the same LED)

    I ruined all 3 screen protectors

    Now I'm staring at a Invisible Shield package that I picked up at Best Buy. I really don't want to throw more money down the drain. I know where there is a store near my office where they sell and install IS. I think I will return the IS to BB and maybe let a pro at the store do it (not BB)...

    Can't find my favorite streaming radio app?

    I used this on my Sprint Hero for the few weeks I had it. I thought I would easily find it in the Market once I got Droid and now I can't find it and don't remember the name of it. Can you help? The name I thought was something like db radio or something like that. You could select genre...

    Call your local Verizon store if you're going tomorrow

    I called this morning to see if they had a waiting list and they said no. I saw a tweet saying stores were making appointments for tomorrow so I called my store back and now they are making appointments. I set one for 7:00am (store open) and they claim they will set aside a Droid, screen...

    Answers I have not seen in the reviews so far.

    I am very interested in finding out how is the finish on the phone. Does it look like a screen protector will be necessary? Will the sides or back scratch easily? (For example I hate how the chrome bezel on the iPhone scratches no matter what you do to protect it.) Does it appear that...

    Verizon Protection Plan or Best Buy?

    I have had so many phones over the past 25 years that I can't remember which company it was but when I had a claim and they replaced my phone, the refurbished phone they sent me was scratched and I was so pissed. I returned it and they sent another phone and it was worse. I am wondering if...

    Android 2.0 and App Location

    I sure hope Android 2.0 on Droid will allow us to install apps directly on SD card. I had a G1 and really felt like at some point Google would allow that without rooting. I played with the Sprint Hero for a couple of weeks and it had OS 1.5 and it was not an option. So all the way up to 1.5...

    Is Flickr Integration part of Android?

    Or is it something HTC added to Hero through Sense UI? Just curious if I bought a non HTC Android device if I would still have the Photo Album with Flickr integration?
