    Maybe its a reference to the fact that there are no snakes in Ireland (St. Patrick etc...) so therefore we can assume there will be no Nexus 1 for Ireland!?!

    If you've got access to paid apps either via root or via uk sim, I'd advise you to get this game. Just got updated for nexus 1 - I have it on my milestone, it's pretty good.

    To recalibrate the screen I read that you can hold down on the key L and then slide your finger down the row to A. Seemed to work for me but it may well be placebo.
    Cheers - might give that a try next time.
    I usually just switch off/on again and it's fine

    Looks very cool. How's it working?

    Not sure if I like it better than the standard laucher screen.

    It is very good for information it can manage (e-mails, calendar, facebook, twitter, reader etc) but it doesn't link to other apps which is a bit of a pain...

    A US Nexus I assume? Prob due to a c.rap transformer/adapter.

    Hit your friendly neighbourhood electrical store and pick up an irish micro-usb charger.

    Yep. Any'll do. That's the beauty of a non-proprietary charger unlike those Apple boys.

    Possibly just double check it works before you leave the shop - I can't say for certain that the US Nexus doesn't use a different battery to the EU version and as such requires different amps and volts. I would be extremely surprised if that was the case though. Infact, you can probably disregard that point entirely!

    This is true in most if not all the apps that use contacts at the moment. It doesn't work in 2.1 but works in the older versions of Android.

    Strange, Cabbage and the Android beta of JSMS both work fine for me, contacts and all.

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,780 ✭✭✭JohnK


    Well it opens the screen with the contacts but choosing one does nothing, it doesnt populate the field with the name or number. I tried selecting one and sending just in case it selected the contact just didnt show it but still no luck. I can send a text if i just type in the number but since the only number I can actually rattle off is my own its not much use :p

    Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,570 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Just did a little test with Cabbage there, when I moved a contact's phone number from "Mobile" to "Home" then it would not bring in the number when the contact was selected. But once the "Mobile" number has a value then it works fine.
    Maybe that's the problem - are your contact numbers stored in Home/Work/Other? Other than that I'm not sure. :)

    Comparing Cabbage and JSMS, not sure which I prefer - JSMS lets you search for a contact by typing into the To field which Cabbage doesn't unfortunately, but then JSMS adds in "[Sent via JellySMS]" to the text message itself, Cabbage leaves the message as is which is better.
    Either way I suppose they're both very handy.

    Cabbage lets me search contacts. I have found Jelly a bit slow + I'm not a fan of the tag they attach to each message.

    Yeah they're in as mobile alright. Also when listing the contacts, some have multiple entries even though they're only really in contacts once. Bit of a strange one!

    My MEElectronics Ai-M9P headset just arrived :)

    As well as that Samsung charger I posted about a while back. Both work nicely. The M9P's in-line button even controls playback but not in the default music player for some reason... works fine in Doggcatcher though.

    Yeah i did. It's not really ready for prime time. There is a lot of graphical glitches and the Flash was poor too. Give it time though, as i would love to run it once it has been perfected. Back on cyanogen's rom for the moment.

    Ample Free ...?
    Registered Users Posts: 398 ✭✭Ample Free ...?


    I've been considering getting the Nexus One for a while now and have been doing a bit of pricing. I've got family in both the U.S. and england so I could get it through either of them. Assuming I'd get hit with VAT/import duty if I ordered it through my U.S. relatives, the difference in cost would be negligible compared to the cost of the UK version and I'd at least get the correct charger if I did. So I was just wondering how many of you who ordered it from the U.S. through family/friends/mail-forwarding got caught for VAT??

    I think english orders have to pay VAT et al. As regardless of which 'market' you order from, it's shipped from the US.


  • #485
    Ample Free ...?
    Registered Users Posts: 398 ✭✭Ample Free ...?


    Orders to the UK are sent through DHL so there's no chance of getting away with the VAT, I've already taken that into account in terms of the cost. I was just hoping that by getting it through my family in the states that when they send it on to me there might be less of a chance that I'd get hit with VAT. This however all depends on which courier service you send it with. DHL/UPS/TNT/ and probably FEDEX too will certainly charge for the VAT but I've noticed when sent through national postal servics, (i.e. it's An Post that will eventually deliver it to your door), you might get lucky and avoid the charge. Well that's the way it was a few years ago, haven't got anything delivered recently from outside the EU with anyone else other than a high end courier.

    Also just a quick question when ordering the 3-pin charger along with the phone do you need a british ip address for it to appear and be an option. I used Hotspot Shield and there didn't seem to be an option to add it to the cart when I did a test run on ordering the phone through google.

    What are my options on getting the phone replaced? The phone has developed a creak and the screen is also tinted red. I might go into Google @ Grand Canal Dock and see if I can compare someone else's Nexus One's screen to mine.

    Hold the phone... (sorry)... This marvelous object of desire has no FM radio?!

    I'm in shock, but through my shock I want to ask if anyone who has the phone in Ireland has been able to update to multi-touch (not Dolphin, the actual Google update)? I'm getting lost in the thread and end up drooling over links to comparison photos...

    it actually has both an FM receiver AND a transmitter.
    unfortunately though there are no drivers at this stage. this should change soon, seen as the Desire has same hardware and working FM radio as well.

    So I got my Nexus One in Barcelona last week! I was one of the lucky few whom Google decided should get one for free at one of the Developer conferences which was totally cool!:D

    So now I have the gleaming gadget in my hands and I'm trying to figure it out as I go and having fun doing that. The battery life isn't as great as I thought it would be but then again I have been playing with it alot so as I get used to having it I reckon the battery will last longer and longer.

    I've a couple of questions though. I'm wondering (even though I have a Google checkout account) why I can't see paid apps in the market place? I'm also wondering if anyone has any suggestions of good apps for downloading and I'm also wondering if anyone can figure how to screen grab? I really don't think you can without an app - like CaptureMe on the BB - but if anyone knows how or knows of an app that can do it then I'd appreciate a share!

    Cheers!

    Paid apps arent available in Ireland atm, but there is a work around, I think its mentioned earlier in the thread how to do it. You should find a list of great apps in this or the hero thread.

    My 3g reception on 3 is pretty good,no complaints. I use my phone mainly in the Dublin area so i can't vouch for their coverage outside of Dublin.

    It's a matter of opinion as to who you want to set up with. 3 would be grand if you'll be in Dublin a lot and if you've WiFi at home but if i was you i'd try out all the networks and see who has the best coverage in your area. It'd be no harm to have a decent 3g signal at home in case your internet connection goes down at home,at least you'd have some form of access via your phone.
