Nexus One, cleared internal user storage to near-factory settings using the boot menu. My computer is connected to wifi, and I have a USB tether to my phone. But when I click on "Connect to wifi" -- even in the virgin "user setup" menu -- No networks are found, and the device becomes unbearably slow. The device had functioned properly for 1.5 years ... until yesterday. I don't know whether the problem is hardware or software. If it is in software, I would like to fix it... but I don't have wifi, and I don't have 3G. What are the steps to diagnose this problem? If it is a software problem, what are the steps to fix it?

Can nexus one phone or any similar android phone work, when its microSD is pulled out from it, and if only internal memory remained.

So I was wondering whether it's possible to downgrade my old Nexus One which is currently on gingerbread back to Froyo. If so, how do I go about this? I don't know much about downgrading on Android, but I think I have to root the device first and then flash a stock ROM. If that's the case, where could I find Android 2.2 ROM for my Nexus One? Any help is appreciated.

I am trying to Lock Screen Widget, But I am getting the following error from 'adb logcat' as I uninstall it. > W/PackageManager( 96): Not removing > package > com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget: has > active device admin Can u please tell me how can I uninstall it? Thank you.

As you know, the Nexus One comes with a **4**-segment 3.5mm headphone jack, whereas the standard 3.5mm plug has 3 segments. I visually compared a standard 3-segment 3.5mm plug with the **4**-segment 3.5mm plug that comes with the original Nexus One headset and they seem identical in length. My only concern is that plugging in a standard 3-segment into this **4**-segment jack will damage the Nexus One. Better safe than sorry... so instead of empirically plugging in the standard 3-segment plug in the the N1 just to see whether it causes a fatal short or not, I prefer to ask those who are already knowledgeable with this: Is it **safe** to use a standard 3-segment with the N1 headphone jack?

One app (Dino Dominion ) will not register location but will express this complaint: "In order to register your location, please turn the location permission setting on in the application settings." The app itself has permissions (told to me when installed and when Managing Applications) of coarse and fine location. I didn't think these permissions needed "turning on" - other apps are using GPS without problems. I asked the app developer, but all they said was "You have to turn on location permission on your device" and "GPS needs to be valid on the side of your device." I couldn't see any relevant settings anywhere. The GPS is working fine. Also, other users of the app seem to have no problems. I have HTC Nexus One and Android 2.2.2.

I have a rooted Nexus One and want to remove some of the pre-installed applications, like Amazon MP3, for example. What is the best way to do this?

Is there a way to use my android device as a bluetooth USB dongle without rooting it?

I rooted my nexus one and successfully used a lot of root-only apps. But one day all these apps stopped working, saying I don't have root. Terminal emulator says "permission denied" for everything again, as if I wasn't root. But unlocked lock is still showed at startup. How would I fix that? I don't want to root again, because I will have to do a large backup then.

Without really thinking, I used the "clear data" command on the Media Storage app, which deleted all the stock ringtones and notification sounds from my Nexus One. How can I get them back?

My Google Nexus One has a broken power button. I'm using **CyanogenMod-7.2.0-passion** on it. I would like to configure **trackball** to turn on my device (after battery died or after changing the SIM or SD card). Are there any ways to configure the **trackball** as the default power switch instead of power switch on top of the phone?

For some reason when receiving pictures from people with iPhones, they sometimes show up as a video. The video is usually 20 seconds long with the first half blank (sometimes there is text depending on how the person sent the message) and the second half contains the picture (though it is really small). Any idea what is going on here? Googling didn't really turn up anything so I suspect this is only happening with the AT&T version of the Nexus One with MMS sent from AT&T iPhones or something. This has happened since 2.1-update1 when I first got the phone and still happens now (running 2.3.4 stock Google OS, unrooted). OK, I did find some other people with similar issues: Does anyone know of a way to workaround this? It's really quite annoying. Even a bug number in Google's issue tracking system would at least give me some hope that this would get fixed.

I love Android and have been a proud Nexus One owner for over a year now. I was also really excited when Gingerbread dropped and flashed my phone before the OTA update (who can wait for these things anyway). However, since upgrading, Gingerbread has not been the bliss that I had hoped for. The first thing I've noticed is that the new keyboard seems to freeze every other day rendering any app that uses text input unusable. This causes me to have to reboot my phone (or at the very least end the keyboard process). I also started to notice that since my upgrade my phone will sometimes stop syncing with my work's Exchange server, causing me to miss emails that I used to get while not at my desk (again a reboot seems to fix this). I tried removing this account and re-adding it only for it to continue happening. After these initial complaints some of my friends, also Nexus One owners, have started to report similar issues. One such friend says that his home screen icons will stop displaying leaving him with only his background to look at after pressing the home key. Another friend says that he must reboot his phone every day, at least once a day, due to his keyboard not working. In general, though, the internet does not seem to have any reports of these kinds of issues outside of my few friends. Have any other Android users out there noticed these or similar issues with Gingerbread? Does anyone know of any possible causes?

I'm using android 2.2 on a stock Nexus one (from the pre-developer phone stage). Should the music player be able to cope with WMAs? I'm sure I've seen references to it coping with them, but they are currently just dead weight on the SD card. I actually quite like the stock player so installing a new player is the fallback option.

When I try to install CyanogenMod through ClockworkMod Recovery process I get the following error, ‘failed to verify whole-file signature’. I followed WikiLink for Cyanogen for carrying out the installation. Is there any way to disable file verification or any other way through which I can overcome this error. I am using Nexus One phone with, Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7. Build number - GRK39F. Android version - 2.3.6

I've managed to acquire a Google Nexus One, that had an unfortunate encounter with a car door. The screen still accepts touch input, but the LCD itself is broken - no display at all. What is something "cool" I can do with it? My main concern is, is it possible to root it and get a remote shell without being able to see the screen?

I've tried turning on the portable hot-spot mode on my nexus-one and got a message from my operator saying that my plan doesn't cover data traffic made through the web.operator.com APN, as opposed to mobile.operator.com (my "usual" APN). That made me curious. Does that mean that android switches APNs when the hot-spot feature is active? And if so, is this a built-in feature/configuration option or an operator customization? **Update** No, the phone doesn't switch to a different APN, but I'm still not sure what triggered the message from my operator... **Update** There's kind of a persistent rumor that European Nexus-One phones get tweaked OSes, see the xda-developers forum threads [](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714747&highlight=vodafone) and [](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709449&highlight=vodafone) , or google nexus-one forums [](http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=7fd03026a89e3568&hl=en) and [](http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=71fe16740c60ebf0&hl=en) . One of the most likely tweaks seems to be the tagging of hotspot traffic, in order to be able to charge for it differently.

I used **cm-7.2.0-passion(stable)** on my Nexus One since Jan-2013 without any problems. A few days ago, I have installed **ev_passion-4.0.0p4.2-perdo-squished** from evervolv.com. Today again i installed **cm-7.2.0-passion(stable)** on my device. But now i noticed that i can't access internet using 3G connection. I set APN settings manually as on my service provider's website. Even though 3G was on, there were no 3G icon appearing in the top bar. Before installing roms, I did a **wipe data/factory**, **wipe cache** and **format** **system** using ClockworkMod Recovery. My baseband version is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 How can i solve this ?

is there some easy way to get a better keyboard on the Nexus One? The default keyboard has way to small buttons and it's hard to use.

The original HTC/Google Nexus One Desktop Dock is a bluetooth device and has audio line out. I would love to still be able to use this with my new phone. Anyone know how to connect this with a Galaxy Nexus?
