Oh and another reason for rooting is that you can install apps to your sdcard rather the phone's internal memory.

FM radio?

FM radio is more related to hardware than software.

The Broadcom chip? The hardware is not activated for FM radio. And the new 2.2 API doesnt include any low level transmitter/receiver access. I/O keynotes didnt even mentioned about this feature. So, the 2.2 update most likely wont include any FM radio updates (well, we can never be sure until FroYo is actually released to the masses).

That's partially true. A customized firmware is indeed a possible solution to this (say for example, a recompiled Desire source) but the problem lies in the hardware. It's interesting to note that the iPhone 3GS also faced a similar situation, FM hardware present but not activated. When you consider both situations, the 3GS and N1, there's only one reasonable explanation to this. The activation of the hardware is prevented by some weird US regulation. Perhaps enabling it would classify both devices as FM transmitter/receiver and they would need to get some approval or pay licensing fees to some US government body. Something that Google probably refuse to do for Android or it is not of their highest priority at the moment. The only way around this (if FroYo doesnt include an FM radio feature) is a customized firmware like the Desire port from Modaco. The early Alphas of that port doesnt include a working FM radio. This could be because of it was based on reverse-engineered Desire ROMs. As the kernel source for Desire has been recently released, I believe someone will come out with a way to enable FM radio for the N1.

That would be this guy:-

And BTW, LegenDroid N1 users have mostly updated to FroYo since last night. Now they havent woken up yet. Slept late from playing with their new toys I guess.

That is not related to the FroYo or any other future Android updates. It depends on whether the phone carrier is granted access to paid market by Google.

Isnt swype under closed beta?

I haz N1 now.


(and of course, a Hero too)

One is a clone of the other.

Did you nandroid backup the stock FRF91?

ADW can store more stuff on its dock too. However, for the love of God, I cant figure out how to do it. They say to press the app drawer icon until a small arrow appears and then drop stuff onto it. But how??? (please Andrew enlighten me).

So I defected to LauncherPro.

until today.... when I saw the new ADW. Now I'm on the fence again.

Perhaps that's not the right way of browsing on iPhone 4.

Brand : Sandisk 8GB Mobile Ultra class 6
Write speed : 10 MB/s
Read speed : 14 MB/s



It says I have a class 10.

Sandisk is always the best.

umm, if we hold it anyway we like, the signal wont drop. I think that's a defect because the latest superphone have that signal dropping feature (and a rubber band).

Ok, jokes aside. One thing about the N1 is that you have to get used to the soft keys. It's not a defect per say, but that's one of the things people (including myself) have trouble transitioning to. Other than that, the speaker is not as powerful as a Hero. Perhaps it's due to N1's noise canceling feature.

Lag on FroYo? Are you kidding? I've been running FroYo for weeks and it's definitely faster than Eclair.

The battery would depend on your usage pattern and the applications you have running. I have 7 homescreens and around 8 widgets. With Live wallpaper on, it would last a day. With normal wallpaper, I can push it to 1.5 to 2 days. WiFi is a battery hog.

Been experimenting with undervolted kernels, BTW.

Nope, havent had that luck so far. The most is one day for me. Then again, I'm using a .35 kernel which is not very stable (intersectRaven is updating it a couple of times a day). I'll probably go back to a .34.

Better decide quick, bro. Soon you wont be able to get Nexus One from Google anymore. They're already on the last batch of N1.

To be honest, I rarely use the trackball. So, mine is rather clean. It works well though.

You dont really need to view the event in order to dismiss the LED lights. You can just clear them through the status bar.

Parts will be limited? You heard about HTC Desire? yes, the phone that you wanna trade with your lowly 3GS. Guess what? Desire is essentially Nexus 1 in HTC clothing. And BTW, Nexus 1 is manufactured by HTC, not Google. Google only provides software support. Your claim of 'parts will be limited and no longer produced' (I took the liberty of correcting your grammar there) is simply rubbish.

The level of ignorance in iPhone fanboys amazes me. But this dude here takes the cake.

If you're on LeoFroyo, try moving the dalvik-cache to SD. That option is in leoparts.

I found it on the Market. There's also another new theme. The sticker theme.
