Nexus One Having Issues with the NexusOne, would appreciate help, Tnx

**If these are issues that everyone is having then I wont complain (not that I think I am)**


The phone is reacting slow... I bought it "new" from craigslist... seems new everything was still in the package... when I am texting and close it the KB lags behind, with the processor I would have never imagined that happening... another thing is that my facebook app is not connecting at all...

I'm wondering if there is a way to tell if this dude tried to root it and messed up then try to sell it or something like that?

thanks,

included are videos of the issues that I am having, thanks in advance for the help...

have you performed a reset of the phone? (Iknow you were asking how to do that earlier)

no i haven't... did you see the KB lag video.. i just dont think it should do that... especially with the processor... you know if there is a way that i can tell if this dude tried to root it and failed? or if google/htc will replace if it is defective?

Unfortunatly Im at a place that I cannot see/watch videos.
Google MIGHT replace it but I would recommend calling them/emailing them first.
Ill do some research and see what I can find out about what shows up with root.

In the meantime, go ahead and do a master reset on your phone and post back any improvements or lack thereof.

*edit* check here to find out the process of unrooting...keep in mind the dates (Feb of 10)

On my Nexus I go to settings --> applications --> then it says unknown sources--> allow non market applications...

Does that mean its rooted?

Tnx

If you are rooted you will have a ninja icon in your app drawer ... if your not rooted ...
go into ... menu > settings > privacy > wipe all data reset phone. please post back your findings

I'm assuming that the app drawer is the place that all the apps are sitting in... i have not seen a ninja.... is there another way to check like looking at the information on the about phone tab on the phone?

Thanks

no I dont wanna root i bought my phone from craigslist from a dude that said it was new, it running kinda slow so i think its rooted and dont wanna root did you have a chance to see the videos that i posted?

whats a better way/ more efficient way to system restore (like plugging in iphone and and hitting restore to defaults) doing the wipe all from with in the phone?

thanks

this thing is just too dam slow ....

The only other way to master rest is by doing the following
From the menu, go to Settings.
Then go to Privacy.
Select Factory data reset and read the warning carefully.
When you’re ready, press the Reset phone button.

Why we are telling you this, is because it is running slowly is possible that there MAY be an issue with the processor (not saying there is...just MAYBE) and by master resetting it youll clear whatever the other guy did to the phone hopefully eliminating the issues you are having.

ok the reason y i ask is because this is different then what you told me last time, :

To wipe your device do the following:
With the power turned OFF
Hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER (this will take you to the bootloader screen)
The screen will have little android skater dudes on it
Use the volume buttons to scroll up and down and the power button to select option
Choose CLEAR STORAGE
Press the POWER BUTTON
Confirm by pressing VOLUME UP
keep in mind this will wipe EVERYTHING! So make sure to back up things that you want


just wanna make sure that i WIPE everything and start fresh

appreciate all the help!!!! thanks

You asked for a simpler way to reset your phone is why I posted the recent way to reset...either way works fine, but these are just two ways to complete the same task. I am just providing alternate ways to go about the same situation.

thanks for the quick reply and all the help

well it said that it is deleting data and personal information not the current system software, and it did it fast, too fast i think... other then that hope it works thanks for the help!

ahh your welcome...this gives me something to do on the overnight shift

Post back to us any imporvements or any thing else you need. Ill be awake for a couple more hours.

hope it works its a PIA logging back into all apps

lol oh trust me, when I was flashing roms for my TP I had to backup first/master reset/restore/calibrate blah blah blah these devices are so much simplier nowadays.
