Hi,
Can anyone who has got the Nexus one confirm, landscape mode is available for web browsing, SMS and Email?
Is this an OS feature? Sorry my knowledge of Smartphones is not that great

Yes, the phone rotates in apps just like all other android phones.

Thanks ....
But apparently not on the home screen, which is a little bit annoying. Any easy way to work around that?
I'm sure our favorite rom modders will be enabling that functionality like before.
am I the only one that hates landscape mode on the home screen?

Nope (10 char)
When rotating the phone, is there still that small blur lag that happens on the G1? I only have the G1, so I'm using it as a referral. I always found that irritating. I wouldn't think it'd be on the N1.

Where's our typing speed apps?
(Both of the ones found when searching for WPM on the Market have no support for on screen keyboards.)
Pretty amazing nonetheless
i want such an app too ;( xD
there is an app called (TxtSpeed) in the market place... if you want you can try it out.

Is our N1 screens that good??
Someone make a onscreen keyboard test...I'd pay 99 cents
wow that's almost as fast as my keyboarding...
No way I can do this on my n1 I keep getting so many errors especially with the custom Korean keypad I'm using, it looks the same but the voice button is replaced with korean toggle. And for some reason its a lot harder to type on than the stock even though they look the same

Well Hi All. Madhouse here. A buddy of mine who is a firefighter is also a part time Verizon employee, he was gracious enough to let me carry a droid X demo for the day here. It's currently 12:37 pm here and i will have access to the phone for a few more hours here. I made a few videos and took some pictures, i will try my best to answer any requests made in this thread while i have the phone. A few basic principals apply. Obviously i will not be demoing any rooting or hacking type activities on the phone because it is not mine.
Look forward to the questions! Enjoy!
(Will be editing and putting links to the videos in a minute here)
This is a test sample of the droid x's video capability in 720p

Wow, lucky! I know this may seem dumb... but an alternate home (such as LauncherPro) can be installed, right?
Also, what's the screen like? Is it very responsive/accurate?

I'll check into the launcher thing for you and the screen is AMAZINGLY accurate, i'll have a video of the multitouch vis app test up in a minute. It makes the Evo (My phone) look terrible as far as touch responsiveness.
how loud does the "loud" speaker sound compared to other smartphones? Also do you feel that the dual leds are very bright? Do the hard buttons on the front feel like they are good quality?

It's definitely loud. It's about as loud as an Evo 4G's or Droid Incredible's. We have all three phones present. Tested them all.

I was going to make a video but im using the Evo to make the videos, but yeah, it is SPOT ON for the touch sensitivity, makes the Evo look like it's stuck in the mud. Probably due to the FPS cap or something for all i know.

It's big, it's especially big if you turn it sideways. I'm a big guy too (6'4" 268 lbs.) The keyboard feels natural too, it's of good size. It has a multitouch keyboard as well as swype for fast typing.

I can't seem to figure out how to get it to go to original launcher much less launcher pro. It's stuck in this motoblur hybrid UI

Swype works VERY well for people with large fingers because its just dragging it across the keyboard and yes the keyboard feels great.

So you can't install Launcher Pro from the market?! I don't care about the default one, just need to know I can replace it with something else from the market.
This is what should happen (in case you don't know):
->Install Launcher Pro
->Hit home
->A box should come up asking what launcher you want to use (if you get to here it works).

Does this necessarily mean Launcher Pro is running instead of Moto's default? Or can it be on top of the original (i.e. wasting mem/cpu, running both)?
The choice it gives on pressing the home screen is just that it recognizes there are 2 registered apps that handle launcher requests, right? It doesn't necessarily kill one for the other, does it?
Only had Android for a few weeks, so sorry if silly question.
Is there any way for me to disabled the lock screen? Its such a pain. Every time I hang up, lock screen. Turn on the screen, it times out, lock screen. 1.6 sucks....

Battery indicator pro also gives you that chance. It works most of the times.

Don't know what you're complaining about, for the past 2 days my lock screen has mysteriously vanished. Which means I can't put the phone in my pocket. Annoying, really.
I would do a factory reset but then I've got to do one for the 2.1 update anyway so I'm just going to wait it out
Lol..my lock screen turn out the reverse way,to the left now??

I'll say that the lock screen on the Xperia X10 is pretty terrible. It has caused me to miss calls because I couldn't manage to move the slider all the way. I'm not sure why it couldn't handle that, but it's quite annoying.

I get that too, but yeah, it's definitely an X10 problem, and not a 1.6 thing. Thankfully, SE is taking the update opportunity to change it, so hopefully it will be more responsive.

Alright, so....don't know if many people know about this, but there's a built-in screenshot function on the epic 4g. On the device keyboard, hold the back button and hit the home button a couple of times
Sorry if everyones knows about it, just thought it'd come in handy for people who don't.

Make sure youhit the home button in quick succession a few times. It saves in a folder called /ScreenCapture on /SDcard

THANK YOU!!! I did this once accidentally and have spent much time trying to figure out how to do it again to no avail. It appears not many people know this trick, as searching both google and the forums was unproductive for me. There is a similar trick for the galaxy tab that seems to be well known, but is accomplished differently.
thank you, you saved me from making a thread on this lol
happened 4 times on accident when the phone was running sluggish

It's a feature in Froyo only. Several, if not all, phones with Froyo have the capability.
The reason it only works with the hardware keys and not the capacitive buttons is because of the way that Samsung made them work. For whatever reason, the capacitive buttons don't actually respond to your finger pressing the button, but rather the finger lifting from the button, making a long-press impossible. Why this is the case is beyond me, as my Samsung TV and PS3 both have capacitive buttons and both respond to the actual physical touching (proof in that they both have long-press functions on the buttons).
Also, you only need to press home once. Just hold back for about three seconds before pressing it.
Must be a Froyo thing, works for me. Only issue is that pics are sideways (landscape only). Still prefer "ShootMe" though.
anyone using this for their note 9 ? i have it install in my Note 9 (exynos duo), everything is good until i click on button on pie control, it take nearly 2-5 second to load apps, is kind of irritating for me, anyone facing this issue ? or i miss out something ?

I JUST started using PIE controls by coolace (due to having seen it on this threat). It is working great so far, no slowdown or hangs or anything.
I am using snapdragon Note 9
Thanks for mentioning the app by the way, I think it might be favorite edge/gesture control now (have tried many)
have a look, wondering this is normal ? but i done nothing on my phone ...

btw my is really slow right ?
i found one funny issue with my pie control, if i open pie control in any screen other than home screen, it work perfectly but in home screen it take few second to load, any one have idea what it cause ?
I am actually taking back my recommendation on this app...
more than once I have had it kind of "take over" my screen.
What I mean is, any touch on my screen is attempting to touch something in PIE control (and not actually graphically showing PIE control, btw).
you effectively can't do anything at that point.
Its been a few days since I stopped using it, but I really did pretty exhaustively try to figure out how to stop this.
I really liked this app's "swipe" method instead of pulling the PIE out and having to like hold on a button for a quick sec, this app lets you do it in a smooth swiping motion.
Anyways, ive given up and gone back to onscreen navigation keys.
Every method I have tried (including XDA's navigation) has had some small hangups that eventually have problems working.
And no I haven't reported errors and such in respective threads, I just give up because my "lots of effort into having a hacky phone" days are behind me
