| | | | | Hey, where are you getting custom ROM's for your phone? I have WinMo phones myself and actually make my own ROMs for it, but my wife has an Android I would like to look into maybe flashing her phone with something better that the stock crap that comes on it.

Shawnee, KS | Friend Good friend of mine has a Nexus One and is still having this issue. He contacted Google earlier in the week with a well written email documenting the issues and what has been done to resolve it and he got a generic canned response not addressing the issue at all. His email pointed out that he has the patch installed, etc, and they basically said for him to wait for the same patch. He has been working with T-Mo to no avail and is still awaiting response from HTC. I feel bad for these individuals and hopefully a fix comes soon.
I have the Droid and have had zero issues - however, I cannot wait until VZW pushes 2.1. Any updates on when that will be? Last I heard they were going to start this week...

kudos:8 | Re: if this is true Yeah, but maybe Google wanted their first phone to be so specific (color changing ball, 1GHz processor, huge AMOLED screen) that it changed the way HTC designed the antenna differently so that it would work with Google's hardware standards.

North Little Rock, AR | Just like I-phone. The nexus users will have to do just like the I-phone users did and wait for the next generation of phones to come out and gladly stand in line to buy a phone with a few more of the features working.Then wait another year and buy then next one with a few more features working etc. This isn't a bug but a business model copied from Apple.

New Orleans, LA | I'm still at a loss for words at how Google thought they could NOT offer phone support on the 1st day it came out. | |
|
| | Android? My wife has a Motorola Cliq. While I think Android is a cool OS with a pretty decent interface, her phone has been very unstable. On a typical day she has to soft reset the thing multiple times, due to issues ranging from total lockup, to the touch screen going crazy and acting like it's being pressed repeatedly in random locations.
She's visited a few forums and apparently other Cliq users are experiencing the same issues she is. Supposedly they are going to be addressed by an update to the Cliq.
I have to wonder if these radio issues are simply related to Android OS being a tad bit unstable.

| | I can only say.... If apple (or anyone else) made a phone with these issues people would be jumping all over them. You android folks sure are tolerant of major screwups like serious 3G issues on a 3G phone... 
That being said, sorry you folks are having issues any phone should be tested more before being released.

| | Anybody try the other trick... and by that I mean turning the phone to auto select network, meaning either 2g or 3G? I know some nexus one people who were having trouble and no 3g bars at their place and then they did the trick mentioned in a forum about just letting the phone pick the network instead of forcing it into 3g and it cleared right up. I have heard some people using this trick and it working perfectly.
