    ACTA has been signed...

    We're screwed. Welcome to land of Big Brother. I've heard the version of it that made it through was much less harsh. Still, the Polish are protesting the hell out of it: Polish protests

    Help Dropped calls and signal switching?

    So in a couple of months when my tax return comes I'm going to get a new phone. I'm down to the Mytouch 4G and the Nexus S. Now I really love the openness of the Nexus S and stock Android, but there has been a problem I keep reading about. It seems that some users and reviewers have mentioned...

    Are we losing Android?

    Sometime ago, I made a thread about the worst case senario of Android being destroyed through legal action. Just this week another lawsuit was filed against several makers of Android handsets. The outlook seems to be growing ever grimmer. However, that is not what I want to chat about. This is...

    What if the worst happened?

    With a grain of salt, what would everyone here do if Android wasn't around tomorrow? Android is on an insane momentum and of course, everybody wants a piece of the pie. There have been a good half dozen or more lawsuits targeted at Android itself or members of the OHA. The Oracle vs. Google is...

    androski.com models

    Was browsing eBay for some Android figures and I came across this site. They have what looks to be a model kit with our good friend Andy. I've considered buying, but I figured I'd ask around here to see if anyone had one and what they are like. Android Models

    Android Tablets - An Abysmal State of Affairs

    First off, let me say that I love Android. I love the freedom to customize, I love the functionality (both included and added later on), I like most of the custom UIs, and I even like our faithful little android, Andy. However, I must say, as of this current timeline, the tablet market for...

    Root USB Mounting issue...

    Seems lately everytime I mount my SD card and remove it, my N1 keeps thinking it's still mounted. I end up having to do a battery pull in order to get it back to normal. It also, after mounting, keeps babbling about "Multivolume zip". Aside from that everything seems normal. No problems with...

    A quick little review of my new Otterbox case...

    Well, after seeing the troubles with the StealthGuards and positive reviews from an owner of a Otterbox, I purchased myself one off eBay. First off, I chose the Defender line. Toughest of the tough. I've seen videos of people throwing their phones out two story windows without damage. Not that...

    New Nexus one screen...anyone seen it?

    I'm curious since HTC was going to have to go the SLCD route, has anyone seen one of these yet? If so, what can you tell me about it? Also, has anyone purchased or been able to purchase the N1 by buying a dev license/kit/whatever?

    14.4 Mbits! plus...a question

    Now that my area has HSDPA, I did a speed test and pulled 14.4 Mbits. I thought the N1 could only do 7.2, but apparently I'm mistaken. A screenshot for any disbelievers. This was taken with a 2MB test. Higher MB tests slowed it some, but was still over 10 Mbits. Very awesome. The only...

    Root Rooting question...

    I've considered rooting my N1, but I have a concern that stops me from going ahead with it. If I root, and then add Cyanogen's add-on "Makin' Bacon", but not a flashed ROM, can I still update to the newest firmwares when they come out? I'd like the root access to modify things like my CPU speed...

    Equalizers? Are there any?

    I've been wondering if there are any graphics equalizer programs or media players on the market? I'd really like to alter my settings because I prefer a bit stronger bass and treble clarity on my music. Anyone know of any? This seems like a no-brainer for an app.

    Initial thoughts on 2.2

    Just did the manual update and I'm impressed with it so far. Here are a few highlights that I like. Quadrant Standard that I use for benchmarking my N1 was getting 527 (higher than what it was for the average N1). With 2.2, that has jumped to 1291! I was noticing 20+ fps boost on the planet 3D...

    Help Trouble finding features

    Does the Nexus One not support speed dialing or custom MP3 ringtones? I've looked all over the phone for this and can't find it.

    Hello!

    I'm Chris, but I go by my nick DrHyde. I own a Nexus One, my girl owns a MyTouch 3G (with 3.5 mm jack), and I formally owned a Samsung Behold II which I gave me brother after getting my N1. I love Android and hope it keeps getting better.
