+1 on not doing the FuNkY typing!
Personally, I paid more for my desire than the nexus one. Obviously market conditions have changed. There is no longer an AMOLED issue on Desire because of SLCD. Nexus One on the other hand, doesnt use SLCD and has been discontinued, making it rarer and harder to acquire.
You'd expect it to be more expensive now

No - the Nexus One hasn't been discontinued!
Google closed their online "mobile phone" store, but the Nexus One is still being manufactured and can be purchased as the official Android Dev phone and direct from carriers such as Vodafone in the UK.
In addition, it has also moved to SLCD.
On to the OPs question - the slight hardware diffences between the Desire and Nexus One will account for some of it (e.g. noise cancelling microphone on the Nexus, trackball, capacitive buttons etc), and the rest is probably just a "Google Tax" because they set the price of the Nexus One.

Dave

Why? iT's ReaLly BoRinG fOr mE tO tYpE In tHe NoRmaL wAy..
Any way i type in normal way beacause of you
Thank u, Good Reason, It Seems To Be Just Google
((But Why Do u Prefer TrackBall To Optical One))

Might be boring but it's the forum rules - if you don't want to follow them then leave

'' Pisssss on This ****ing rules, i just want my cigarettes back''
don't get it wrong it's just a quote from my favorite movie ''One Flew Over the cuckoo's Nest''
But Correct me if i'm wrong:
IF i type tYpE instead of type, i've just broken the rules..?
Come on i know most of user don't like this type of typing & i should respect them and don't type in that way (as i'm doing NOW) BUT i don't think it's against the RULES...

From the Rules (http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81)
3. Post only using a clear subject and message - so must be legible and not hard to read

hah, nice one EddyOS
the trackball I would prefer because I find it hard to use my optical D pad because when my phone is in my case it is quite hard to find it and use (while typing a text) so if a ball would just stick out a bit more I would find it more confortable

Thank u EddyOs..
But ''Post only using a clear subject and message'' doesn't say that typing tYpE is wrong, tYpE is NOt Clear..?

The Nexus One has the FM radio too, by virtue of the using the same Broadcomm chip, and I believe it has been enabled in some Nexus One ROMs (though not officially).

Touch Pro 2 Spec Change

I went on HTC's website and the dimensions changed, now it says its 16.65 mm thick, before it said it was like 17.1 mm thick, does this mean that other spec changes could happen too? (Well actually they probably could but I doubt they will) But its still great that its a little thinner now, now its thinner than a G1 or Xperia X1
Clove's description says it has FM tuner, I hope this is correct.
Well at least it's something positive
HTC's website says its only 16.65 mm thick, but where they are selling it on Clove, it says 17.25 mm thick. Which one to believe....
16.65, 17.25mm. Does 0.6mm really matter?
True enough HTC has changed it's specs. Thinner is better of course. That is 0.6mm thinner. Will that be because they took the Radio Chip out? That is a bad trade off if it is. 0.6mm is not really noticeable.

LOL now that you mention it, that is probably why its thinner
I would much rather have it be the same thinness as before and have a radio than to make it a little thinner and to lose such a nice feature, maybe other than the fact that it saves them money they did it to even out the diamond 2 and it a little.

I saw that photo before and it was posted after our discovery about the change of sepcs on HTC's website. The photo was a relief but no one else have proven the radio afterward. But I hope that photo was correct by any means.
should be receiving mine tomorrow with luck, just received shipping notification, and as i'm so excited i probably won't sleep i'll do tomorrows work tonight and then get to play all day i'll let you know what i can find on it.
Well no radio so far found, the stylus has a distinct metal feel to it and the device does turn on when you take it out.
So far i am very impressed the grill onthe back i guess is for battery cooling as the speakers are only at the top , g-sensor all works fine and stuff unfortuntly am connecting to internet via work currently so can't post pictures or anything but if anyone has any requests for info i will check as often as i can.

i use beats by dre tour and beats by dre pro witch i just got with my s2 there amazing but expensive the tour are ear phones the pros are dj headphones witch is a bit much to use with a s2 but its great sound if you can afford it
I have grown to like the Bose MIE2. They have gotten better in sound with break in and they are soooooo comfortable. You can easily wear these for hours. The downside is that they aren't isolated but, they are comfortable and i am willing sacrifice that. Another good pair are the Shure 215 and Klipsch s4's both good price and sound!
my original earphone sucks
the stock are good enough for me

I gotta agree, the S4 is magic to my ears. Might not be better than Beats By Dre, but for the price it's very good
I use a set of Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi in-ears. They sound absolutly fabulous.
Here is a link for you, although these are the ones without a mic, but otherwise they are exactly the same.
These S4 Android phones from Klipsch are around £89 in UK. dont buy headphones from just anywhere as fakes are everywhere use sites that well known and on the manufacturers approved lists if possible. I doubt there wil be fake android S4 s about but take care though.

are the original headset have good sound?
If you are refering to the headphones that come in the box with the sgs2 they sound as bad as the ones supplied by Apple for their iPhones.

[request] Cute pink alarm clock docking station

So my friend has gotten her gs3 and just wants as much pink stuff for it as possible. So she has asked me to help her find an alarm clock/pink/charging station for her. I know that they have plenty of these kind of things for IOS but I need something for the gs3. Can anyone suggest anything?
I have not seen any, aside from one on amazon.. that is actually universal, but has mostly all bad reviews, due to being VERY unstable.
if you want want now, i would say get one, and get some paint, add some gems, and call it custom!

I have never seen one... unless you have skills with a dremel, can form new plastic (to make holes smaller) and soldering (to wire in a resistor to trigger "dock mode") wanted to gut an iPhone one, and put in a USB, plug... and at that point, since the S3 is larger.. nevermind. lol.
It would be easier to start one from scratch.... but that is how you win cool points.

[Q] New display but after 3 hours broke again

Hi to all, today besides it looks like Friday 13th. (my car broke down) I took after I dropped my HTC One X my phone from the service with a new display.
After 2 hours I have been called and saw that the display again is broken from the left side, near the usb towards the top, (power button) is a line and cracked.
I really don't know and paid much money today and to pay again?
Could this happen or should I blame myself?
I always take good care of the phone and always carry it in my side pocket which is wide enough...
Can anyone advice me what to do?
If you are 100% positive that the screen was intact when you got it out from the service, you should take it back and council with the person who serviced the phone. It there are no signs of physical abuse or anything, you should have some kind of warranty on the display or at least on the changing service.

thank u for the reply..the service will not give me a new one..but is the display so sensitive? i mean could it break by wrong installation?
Are you sure it was completely perfect at the service center? Did you inspect your phone whatever the screen was replaced correctly or there were any cracks from the beginning?
There's not much you can do over here... You can tell them what happened and ask for replacement but I'm not sure they will replace it for free...

If I order a new display by my self..in what kind of price tag should i look at?
Anyone?

Thank you!! Great and I ordered a new display there and the price is much cheaper than the price offered here in Skopje, Macedonia.
But still 1 question how to recognize a clone from an original screen?
What I noticed is that the screen replaced on my phone is slight smaller as at the bottom part I can see the led light trough the house shining.
Also the left < is not shining while the home and > button is lighting.
The time before (when it has been replaced also) I had the same problem. At daytime its hard to notice but at night its very clear that only 2 buttons are lighting up.
Hahahahaha epic fail.......cough goo cough gle is cough your best friend.
here you can see my broken screen and the navigation button which is not lighting up
That has been the same case with the other replacement.
Also the crack is at the same position as the last one
I paid 100 euro for this one.

LOL :good:
Ok here my last try as in the 3 days I did not get any answer, it might be that this issue is unknown?
Anyway one more try..
My HTC One X broke now a couple of times and the last time it broke at the same space as before, again I did not drop it
At the bottom I can clearly see a small open space and the 3 navigation led light shining although the navigation arrow on the left (see attached picture) is not lighting up and at night it can't be seen.
The main reason for this topic to get more informed and to put a claim at the mobile phone service and to get my money back.
Also looking at Ebay for a screen replacement it looks like a jungle as all are claiming to sale original displays but again prices are from 45 - 150 euro's. Is there some way to recognize a none (clone) original screen from a original?
Again sorry for this chain of mine on this topic but i just wonder why twice my display cracked at the same place.
It's just a coincidence that the screen broke at exactly the same point...
By looking at what you've said... I think the screen might not have fitted correctly... Hence causing the led not to shine as brightly as it should... May be there is some gap left...
About the screen originality... It's really hard to determine... If you could send us the link of the part which you are buying.. Then someone might be able to judge it's authenticity..

I also think it was not placed on the correct way and than the issue of the left navigation without lighting up as it should.
And the cap.
I wrote to rounded.com but no reply from them.
Maybe if someone could take a look at Ebay in Europe and to advise me which one to buy?
Should I buy the whole thing again complete or just the glass?
Also can be in a PM here.
Again thanks for the help :good: :good: :good:

Thanks, any place you can advise?
Listen, stop complaining that people aren't answering your questions. As Mr.Hoff has repeatedly tried to tell you, people have NO OBLIGATION to answer you, nor does it mean that because they're on XDA They know the answer to your questions. XDA is a priviledge, without XDA you probably wouldn't have a place to even ask your question.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
The difference between HTC Screen and a Generic Replacement screen is alot.
HTC Screen = LCD2 which is basically HD screen
Generic = LCD Screen with a much lesser resolution.
Also the part numbers are different, the only REAL way to tell whether you have the LCD2 screen or not.
However I cannot tell you the exact part number for a OEM HTC LCD2 Display.
Now stop ranting.

Do you mean like locking the screen so it won't register input? I dunno but what's the purpose of this? Just so I can think a bit about it. I don't see the use and can't imagine why you would disallow one finger input. :0

Can't find a name, can only find mention of the feature in iPad Mini describingly. Tried a few searches. Seems like some people comment on this, the Android have been doing it for a while, but from manufacturers. Samsung and Motorola seems to be doing it. Can't find any universal app and no one mentions name of apps that does it on their android devices. It's probably coded into the specific stock rom. Other mentions that it is fairly hit an miss that it works.
For now, no dice. - Sorry.
