3G Quick Fix for Nexus One
Jan 13th
For those Nexus One users, let me know if this works for you. Found this on a comment in the TmoNews forum, looks like it should work:
“Download the anycut app, create a new shortcut, actions activity, phone info, go to the shortcut on the home screen, change from WCDMA preferred to WCDMA only this will lock the phone to 3g only…leave a 3g area and you will have to change it back, inconvenient but functional.”
I’m keeping the Phone Info shortcut on my G1. It has a lot of cool info even if I don’t need to fix the 3G problem.
Nexus One User’s Getting Frustrated
Jan 11th
It started as a rumbling… “my 3G is acting funny”, now it’s “Users complain of phone service problems and lack of customer service“, “Google’s Nexus One Phone Attracts Customer Complaints“
So what is Google doing to fix it? The most popular post in their support forum is “Spotty 3g?” and it’s not even pinned as an important topic!??
The Google given response was “We are investigating this issue and hope to have more information for you soon. We understand your concern and appreciate your patience.”
Google better act fast and not get into the mentality of just get it out the door and fix it later. They’ve had a nice buzz about Android and Nexus One up until now, just don’t blow it.
Nexus One Linpack Run?
Jan 3rd
Ok, who did it? If you look at the Top10 runs for Linpack, you’ll see a 7.039 run with no description or notes. It was entered just before Christmas and I wondered if someone with the new Nexus One ran the Linpack benchmark to see where it placed. I think my suspicions are now confirmed with an article over at the NexusOneBlog. They have an excellent review of the new smartphone and they ran some benchmarks verses the Droid:
From my calculations, the Linpack number of 7.039 is almost exactly 67% faster than the average Droid number of 4.7.
So if someone who has a Nexus One, post a “real” number PLEASE?!

This one comes from YouTube via a guy in Paris France. I’ve got some serious phone lust going….
Nexus One “rooted” before release
Dec 30th
That didn’t take long… The Google Nexus One phone has been rooted even before its official release to public. Paul over at Modaco forums has managed to successfully root his Nexus One, running the latest Android 2.1 version. He has cooked a custom ROM for Nexus One with the method, which he is referring to as Superboot. [via RedmondPie]
