Overheating When I had my Nexus One I had overheating problems. It happened when doing all of the following together: - connected to car charger - gps - navigation - screen on full brightness - on dashboard on very hot day The phone was never the same after the first time it overheated...

I came from the Nexus One where I'm assuming there were no counters ... nobody ever mentioned them. So, what's the deal? Are we just trying to make sure Samsung doesn't deny warranty service? How do you check? I have CWM and a custom ROM ... is it guaranteed that I have tripped the counter?

Are you doing the wipes that were suggested? After all this flashing and running different stuff you've probably got loads of crap in your caches.

Out of curiosity, what is it that you are trying to do that "O/S fragmentation" is stopping you from doing??

So, now that there is an official ICS for the Galaxy S2 out in Europe, do the devs have their hands on official ICS to base ROMs off of? Or are they still waiting for radios? I have been looking around for ROMs and the pickings still seem slim. (not that I'm complaining ... beggars can't be...

Good news. I was worried that all the different GS2 versions would leave us Rogers users off on an island of our own.

A little off topic I've been looking around but I am having trouble getting a clear answer on this: Is the AT&T SGH-I727 the same as the Rogers SGH-I727R? That is, can we use the same recovery and ROMs? Thanks

Sorry if this is not the right place. My N1 just died on me and am doing an upgrade through Rogers. My choices are the Galaxy S Infuse 4G and the Galaxy S II 4G. Obviously the S2 has more power but the Infuse is pretty good (I have it now and I like it (but I can still return it for the S2))...

Two buttons together ... It is a common misconception that you have to push two buttons at the same time to activate some features. Trying to push them at exactly the same time is hit and miss and causes people to have issues. In every case the combination is always hold one button down and...

Debatable. LCDs draw a constant amount no matter what is displayed. OLED only draws power for pixels lit up. Originally it was thought that OLEDs would be much less power but in the end it is so close that it is determined by content.

Did you ever overheat it? I believe that the N1 has a problem if you really push it that it can overheat. Once it happens once it will happen again and every time it takes less and less to cause the reboot. Eventually it reboots just with 3G. I was running mine in the car-mount with GPS, Google...

I like some of the apps from OpenIntents software: OI Safe - encrypted password store OI Notepad - notes - can be encrypted if you have OI Safe installed OI Shopping - Shopping list app (now has barcode plug-in) All free.

This is why I bought the N1. And it is why I will be looking at HTC for my next phone.

Is that thing still running FroYo as well??

Personally I believe that Google was planning on releasing 2.3 as Gingerbread (beyond just the Nexus S) and something changed their minds. Hence the delay for the N1. So they are making some changes / improvements / whatever and are going to push 2.4 out as the widely released Gingerbread.

I had the reboot issue last year. For me it started after I overheated the N1 badly. After that it would reboot occasionally when it got hot. After a while it would reboot whenever I used the 3G or GPS for more than 5 minutes. After sending it in to HTC twice they finally replaced the...

This is the important part ... HTC doesn't care. I've sent my phone in twice while rooted and both times it has come back factory reset with the boot loader re-locked.

The rice trick is a bit of an urban legend. Not that it doesn't absorb moisture (it does) but there are better ways. Rice is not the fastest and bits of rice and rice dust can get into the phone. The best method is to open it up as well as you can and the put it in a steady flow of warm, dry...

What you have read is incorrect. First it now looks like Honeycomb may be version 2.4 (the 3.0 was just an assumption by many people). Second, Honeycomb is just the next version of the Android OS for all Android devices. For this version, they are focusing on extending the interface to allow...

Not true. Honeycomb is extending the interface to allow tablets to use their larger real estate while being completely compatible with the smaller phone screens. They are definitely designing things to improve tablet use but they are explicitly keeping it phone friendly. There is no reason for...

As I said in my earlier post ... the first time I sent my phone in they sent it back because they could not replicate the problem. The bootloader was re-locked even though they did not do any repairs on the phone. It is part of the testing process. They need to make sure they are 100% stock...

Actually I think the first thing they do as part of their testing is to reset the phone back to defaults - including re-locking the bootloader. I've sent mine in twice. The first time they could not replicate the problem so they just sent it back. Both times it came back fully wiped with a...

I love all the outrage about a few weeks delay before we get the latest bleeding edge OS for free. My buddy is suffering with 1.6 (Donut!!) on his Dell Streak. And, when he does finally get the update, it will probably be 2.2.

LOL. Worth what?? It is free. You do not think it is going to be worth free?!?

I'm pretty sure hundreds of us are trying the checkin regularly. The news will spread pretty quick if it goes live.

It took two trips to HTC for them to finally address the issue. They did fix something (they didn't say what) and the problem is gone. I believe it was the motherboard because Swype Beta decided that it was a new phone and not the one I registered (so it would not install).

I doubt we'll get any warning. Someone will post that they received the upgrade notice and then millions (thousands?) of Nexus One owners will simultaneously be typing in *#*#checkin#*#*

If your GPS is not working then you should get it fixed ... you should still be under warranty. The issue that is being discussed here is the cell-tower-based phone location system that is used when the GPS radio is OFF.

Has anyone reverted back to early FroYo or Eclaire to confirm this is a Froyo / Rogers issue?

I have sent my phone in twice for hardware problems (they didn't fix it the first time). Both times it went in rooted (1st time with bootloader unlocked) and both times it has been returned fully stock (with bootloader locked). They did not give me any hassles for the rooting.

It could be something to do with Rogers ... they've been having some data problems in my are for a couple weeks now. Twice my coworkers have asked me if my data was down when theirs was (they are iPhone users) ... both times mine was out as well.

Same issues here ... I am stock FRG83G on Rogers in southern Ontario. Been having this issue for a while but never bothered to look into it. I tried some of the tricks in this thread and here are the results: - went to 2G - no improvement - removed updates from Google Goggles and rebooted - no...

Repair invalidated Swype I recently had a major repair completed on my N1 ... I believe they replaced the motherboard. Anyway, after this repair, Swype will not install. Says it is not the device I registered. I did not know you can email them and have your account reset. I will try that.

With Gingerbread and Honeycomb being talked about ... I was curious if anyone knows if there are any solutions to two issues that I personally think should be solved. Web proxy - I use wifi at work but I need to use a proxy to get to the web. I am aware of some techniques to get the proxy...

And if you had read any part of this thread you would have noticed that everyone agrees, including the OP, that TKs are occasionally needed for rogue/badly written apps. But thanks for educating all of us 'stupid selves'. Geniuses like you don't come along every day.

No doubt McAfee will turn WaveSecure into bloatware that makes it so you wish someone steals your phone so you can buy a new one.

Yes, but not more often than that (I've heard numbers like every 50 cycles (~2 months)). Unlike other types of batteries, LiIon batteries do not like the full discharge / full recharge cycle.

Android is kicking-ass in that survey. I am surprised ... expected the Apple Fanbois to be all over it.

This has been reported by a few users. I sent mine in for repair and got it back not repaired - they couldn't replicate the problem. My case has been escalated which means a HTC guy called and asked me a few questions and then told me to wait for an email (a few days ago). I believe my problem...

They are a bit of a weak point in the design. They have a high rate of failure with use.

Jack is right ... the comparisons you are proposing are useless. The only real tests and end-user could do is find a spot where phone A consistently makes calls without drops and phone B repeatably drops calls (or is unable to connect at all). At least this is a practical comparison. Then...

It is the price of doing business Once the boot-loader is unlocked you can do things to your phone like over-clock the cpu or run the flash at super-bright for hours. In other words, you can do things that could damage your phone that would not be HTC's fault ... therefore they shouldn't be...

Not Android or Apps I have the exact same issue as the OP but I am pretty sure it is not the OS or any apps. I am returning my N1 for warranty repairs. When electronics like CPUs overheat they can damage themselves ... this used to be a serious issue with computer CPUs before they put in clock...

I have both and I have to admit that I do not like the desktop dock (the car dock is great). The phone is barely held in such that the slightest bump causes it to lose contact with the charging pins. Then it goes through the whole docking procedure again. Not very stable at all.

If you mean by 'unlocked' that the bootloader is unlocked (i.e. you see an open padlock when you first power up) then you've already voided the warranty. Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty ... not rooting.

Who are you? Boomhauer? "Gimme that ol' gawl dang mickeys steak house man" ;) I stopped using the voice when I got Swype (I find it almost as fast and a little more discrete) but, when I did use it, I was very impressed by the accuracy.

This makes me think that you have an electrical problem. If it is pulling down the voltage on your PC there could be a short in the micro-USB port or something else wrong with the charging system. A dock would be a good test to see if it is actually the port or something deeper. Watch to see if...

I believe that the stock Recovery will only flash ROMs that have an HTC digital signature. Whereas the custom Recovery will flash whatever you want. So if you want to put custom ROMs on your phone the first step is to put on a custom Recovery.

I have found that when charging, using GPS / Navigation and in the hot sun the N1 will get very hot. In fact I've had two sudden reboots which I believe were overheating. It works fine if you only plug in the charger for short periods of time ... which is enough to keep it going. The BT...

Sorry ... all I meant by 'prerequisites' was the steps you have to do first before you can flash. Looking at the Upgrade Page, it looks like all you need is to have your N1 unlocked and a custom Recovery installed. If you have those two things done then it is pretty easy: - put the ROM zip file...
