my other post is in forum for nexus problems--'nexus froze after update'
my nexus froze yesterday--and i have tried all suggestions given--so i guess i will just wait for my new replacement to arrive---but they told me to 'b/u' so i can restore' onto replacement---how can i do that?? my phone is completely froze--please see my other post..
fhamk you

am also trying to post on 'nexus 1 ''how to's' and faq's's''...and i receive this message:

thank you all--great forum with great members--one of the best i have seen.

Creating another post, because the other received no responses is not the thing to do.. Howa bout using the search button?

[drarthurrd]

i'm not trying to post again-i'm sorry but they are both different---the one is asking about a specific problem, i.e. nexus froze after download----the other was about posting on FAQ--so i could get some info on 'how to's' regarding updates and facts--i am sorry--i am new to this--but it sounds like this was the most flip response of all!..
thank you
arthur

Nothing flippant about my response at all.. Good luck with your search..

Howdy Arthur!
If your phone is 'frozen', I'm afraid there's nothing you/we can do! WRT the backup, all you can do is remove your SDCard from the phone (they usually want you to remove this, the battery, and the back cover) before sending the unit in for repair/replacement. The forum you are referring to is a fully moderated forum, with the Admin in control of the moderation...what this means in you post is 'Staging', and an Admin moderates and includes/excludes the post. Hope this helps.

thank you very much alpha---you explained a lot to me and i appreciate it.....
i don't know what WRT the backup' means--or how to make a b/u when i can't access anything on the phone???
also--i don't want to mispost or do something wrong--maybe you can tell me where to post my next question---i have a G1 that i bought when they first came out--but it seems so outdated and i really can't do that much with it--is there any way to update??? upgrade--change anything???
thanx again alpha

That was the humorous point by the csr, you cannot do much of anything like backup, with a frozen unit. /rolleyes

General forum is for asking general questions such as this, you are fine there (it doesn't belong here, I'll see if I can move it to general).

WRT=with regard to...(the backup).

My wife and I came from G1's, and she hasn't had an update in forever...the specs on the phone won't seem to benefit from FroYo, so I think it's the end of the 'official' road for G1, but hackers are suggesting their unofficial ROM's will support the G1 soon, so it depends on how geeked-out you want to get, I suppose!

thank you--alpha--ps: i appreciate the move

Dr,
Don't you have hot 20ish year old who can take care of this for you?

[drarthurrd]

nexusrocks - ah--a little shunamitism---when king david was old and getting senile--they brought him a young shunamite woman, abishag--the moisture and warmth of her body would get him healthier---personally i think it was 'a bit more'--good idea!
thanx
