I'm going to blow up my G1!

As I seems a lot of people have done, I purchased my G1 off ebay with no knowlege of having to register it with google. I guess I am just ignorant. I have no use for the G1 data plan through t-mobile because I am in areas with wi-fi access 90% of the time.

:( My G1 is a paperweight, and not even a good one at that! I checked to see if I have RC29, and guess what just my luck its been updated to new and improved RC30!!! Which as you all know now my G1 is absolutely no good to me.

So here are my options, should I:

1.Throw it in the garbage disposal?

2.Set it on fire, then strangle it and hope it downgrades to a RC29?

3.Give it to some poor Africa kid so he can eat it?

No but really, is it worth holding on to? or should I just sell it?

If I can sell it, where can I get a RC29 G1? Anybody willing to sell me one?
[G1 General] jashsu:
How would we know that? This is your first post here. Do you even know what the point of modified firmware is? Or is this just a *****ing post?

Seems to me like you've kind of already made up your mind on that matter. If you really still want to have a discussion about the merits of the G1, the general Dream forum is the place to have it.

Your entire post kind of reeks of flamebaiting, but i'll leave that judgement to a moderator.
[G1 General] alapapa:
you could hold on to it and hope someone finds an exploit for RC30.

:shrug:

I'm not really sure what you expected -- obviously lots of folks w/ the OTA update are looking to sell on ebay, etc.
[G1 General] damnitpud:
Assuming you have TMobile, call them up and tell them it wont power on, then if they asked where is it from, tell them you bought it at a tmobile store. Make sure you login to your tmobile account and switch your phone to the G1 and add the G1 data plan for the call. I read that people are still getting RC29 on the exchanges.

Last year i bought a TMobile Wing from this girl and when i called TMobile i told them i got it from a friend they said i would need to have the friend call in so i hung up called back and told them i bought it at a tmobile store and they sent out an exchange without an issue. They might say something about the IMEI not being on your account, just play dumb and stick to your story. Complain that the thing has been acting up since you got it and your internet connection was up and down. Hopefully they exchange it for you.
[G1 General] hotrod101:
Go ahead and blow it up - Make sure you post video's for us all to see and laugh at. If you want a serious answer, then make sure your make serious posts.
[G1 General] kingdlee:
Why so harsh?

Ah! No sense of humor in this community. Laughing it off is about the best thing I can do.

Would it be worth just buying a Dev phone to solve my problem?
[G1 General] jashsu:
If you absolutely must have root access on your G1, I would suggest trying Walmart (assuming you are in the United States). Preferably one without a lot of traffic. If they'll let you open the box, you can test for RC29 by typing reboot. T-Mo stores are all but guaranteed to be RC30 in the box now. As for exchanges, it *seems* like a mixed bag, but I wouldn't count on that for long.

Of course the Dev Phone 1 is a guaranteed root/unlocked bootloader out of the box. But you won't get a carrier subsidy (though that might not exactly be a bad thing if you don't need 3G access).
[G1 General] hotrod101:
Sorry, I was laughing the whole time I was typing this (thinking of someone actually destroying their new high tech device because they don't know what to do with it and posting a video for all to see. That would be priceless - Just answering your question though - You asked.

Try not to be so dramatic in your posts. You have a question - Post your question - (make sure you read forum rules etc.. and post in correct section otherwise you will get flamed. There is a Q&A section as well to post questions. Take advantage of the vast amount of information available on this site and you should do fine and become very happy with your device. There are tons of people in this community who are full of knowledge and willing to help. I can't help - Don't own the same device as you. But got a good laugh out of this thread.

Good luck
[G1 General] punkweakling:
Umm... UNLOCK IT and use your own 3G SIM?
[G1 General] kingdlee:
:D Good, I'm glad you got a kick out of it!

Yes I must have root access. Thats a really good idea, I didn't even know Walmart sold them. See I knew you would come up with something.:) Thank you!

And again sorry if I jumped into this community on the wrong foot, I just want to be able to enjoy my g1 just like you guys!

This might be my first couple of post but I have read lots of your post thanks for all the info that you are providing for everyone.
[G1 General] pic.micro23:
Please...Please.. donate it to BlendTec so this community has a "will it blend?" video of the G1. I feel behind because the iphone people have their videos and we don't. You could be our hero!

[G1 General] maxdamage2122:
i second this!! :D
[G1 General] jashsu:
No worries, and sorry for the harsh reply. It's been pointed out before, but it can be difficult to tell sarcasm/jestful replies on forums. I'm more than happy to apply what little knowledge I have of the nascent Android hacking movement to help newcomers out. Its just the folks who come on with a real axe to grind about Android/G1 rather than constructive purposes that piss me off. Anyway accept my apology and welcome to the boards. :D

Hopefully you can get a hold of a rootable model. If you can't find one at Walmart another lead would be Costco. It's very YMMV in terms of availability though.
[G1 General] tuppaacc:
WELL IF by any chance you decided to set it on fire make sure you make a video about it and post it on youtube oh and not with your G1 cause it doesnt have VIDEO I forgot :b hahaha lol
[G1 General] leoni1980:
Hi people,

The G1 IS tailored as an iPhone killer, if you don't think this is the case then you are mental. If you are entirely reliant on exchange support, handwriting recognition and the plethora of Windows Mobile software out there then for God's sake just buy a Touch HD, or a Touch Pro (if you need a keyboard). For those who want a fun device with the best browser going, a clear and joyful capacitive screen and an open source apps market then the G1 is great. Don't criticise the G1 for not having features that its intended market DOES NOT NEED. Show me an advert for the G1 which touts its business features and I will capitulate.

As newer TAILORED android devices come to the market enhanced business solutions will begin to come to the fore, but for now this is a side issue which (if sufficiently desired) will be developed by a clever developer. Most of its intended market don't give a toss about exchange support and other business features.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Most of the complaints I hear are for things that the G1 lacks that even the most basic of phones have. The market is coming to the rescue on some, other stuff not so much. Ah, to get a notification reminder- or maybe to be able to see our MMS pics (fixed with a market download) or even a working video camera. The developers seemed to have forgotten about the simple stuff.

I mean, sure it didnt SAY that we could record video, see our MMS pics, heck it didnt say we could even use it as a phone! :rolleyes:

If you bought a new car and found out afterward it was limited to 20mph until your mechanic can figure out how to tune it to go the speed limit, would you be unhappy?:p

other threads where ranting and raving are going on have been locked...why is this one still around?:confused:
[G1 General] leoni1980:
I wasn't talking about mms and video recording, I was referring to people who criticize the G1 for not having business phone features when these are not necessary for most users.

As for mms - well you CAN view them, you just can't save them to the memory card unless you email them.

And video recording? well the camera is so awful that I dread to think how abysmal a video recorder would be anyway!

Here in the uk T-Mobile market the G1 as a phone 'Built for the Internet', and it lives up to that title very well. At some point we should get plentiful missing features patched in but for now the G1 is doing what it was meant to do well.
[G1 General] THE GRIZZ:
really sorry to bump this 6-month old dead thread but how much different the situation on the android scene now. im intrested in the origonal post limitations especially #1
[G1 General] leoni1980:
Seems a bit dead in the water to me. I've still got my G1 and haven't used it as a phone for over a months now, although I keep checking the app scene for developments. Meanwhile my iPhone continues to offer great new apps and features. I think I'm going to sell my G1 in the next month if things don't pick up as at the moment the handset is nothing more to me than a short-lived toy. I'll be doing some comparison videos on my YouTube channel soon to show how the two handsets compare with each other for multimedia, social networking and as simple phone/SMS devices.
[G1 General] rubledub:
I hate to admit it ... the dream is more of a nitemare! There is sooo much I love about this handset! I.e. auto contact sync, web browsing eh?, the keyboard, the never ending useless/"usefull" apps.

Yet somehow the things we lack, things that should very well work send/receive bluetooth! Ill stop there with that.

Thank you JF for makin my telecommunicating days better

(Oh and making the hardware perform like it is ABLE)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] leejiahui:
hi guys, as we all know, at times we need to hard reset our TP for several reasons. Basically almost everything can be backup using activesync, however i am interested to know if there is a way i can actually backup my sms as well, and recover it back to my TP once it has been hardreset.

Let me know if there is a way.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AllTheWay:
PIM Backup or PowerSMS
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
+1.

Use it everytime I flash a new rom or switch phones :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dramacydle:
+2 for PIM Backup, but I have a question for SMS backups that I haven't been able to figure out. Is there a known way to restore threaded-SMS order by date after a restore? Sometimes after I restore, the text messages reorder chronologically for both sent and received, but most of the time they just restore all of the received first, then all of my sent.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Really? Isn't there an option to just merge the old messages with the new ones? Because that's what I do in PIM and it works with threaded-sms.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AllTheWay:
Personally I use PowerSMS.

It works perfect everytime. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dramacydle:
Right, which is what I've tried, but without much consistent success. When I restore from a fresh ROM flash, I select "Delete all existing messages from the Database before restoration." For one threaded conversation, if I had Received messages (A, B, C) and Sent messages (D, E, F)--from oldest to newest--when backed up, they'd be ordered A, D, B, E, C, F, but after the restore they'd be A, B, C, D, E, F. Occasionally it's the right order, but most of the time it's not. You haven't experienced this problem? :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] shotta35:
I'm experiencing this issue. I'm just about ready to hard reset since i srewed up something but whenever i restore SMS i get them all received then sent in order. Not the order they were originally in (MMS doesn't work, sux). Maybe i could try PowerSMS, i've already deleted tons of SMS as a result of formating to install new Da_G ROMs.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] croccodillo:
Hello all,

I own a Poco X3 NFC, I bought it in Italy, but discovered later (after I installed MIUI Downloader) that my phone falls under the Turkey barnch (RJGTRXM).

No problem, but I would prefer to move it under the Global (RJGMIXM) or EEA RJGEUXM) branch, since they seems to be more advanced.

This is because last OTA ROM version has few bug and draws battery really fast.

My question is: can I download the latest ROM from a different region and update the phone with it?

I don't want to factory reset my phone, I would like to keep all my installed apps: is it feasible with a different ROM?

In other words, would a dirty update work with different region ROM?

I would prefer to use the internal MIUI updater, but if I need to use the recovery, no problem at all.

The onlt request is to do not reset the phone.

Thank you in advance.

Ciao,

Giovanni

To change rom version, you must unlock the bootloader, this action will erase your data.

You can restore some of your data using: Micloud, MiPhone assistant, google, third-party apps.

dodgy microphone crc 13 rom fix

Hey i had the same problem and found it hard to find a fix, so i installed resco audio recorder and set it to record phone calls, now the microphone kicks in every time! its a dodgy work round but it works well if your desperate. tho its worth opening and closing the audio recorder occasionally to reclaim program memory, and deleting the files through the program only sends them to the recycle bin if u use resco explorer, so delete through that. sorry if this is the wrong spot to reply, but i've been at work all night and want to get this info out! good luck and thanks to all

Uninstall SRS WOW HD

I had this problem when I first used CRC's ROM. I don't think it's the CRC's issue to fix, per se, but I determined it was the SRS WOW HD app under System in his Device Update that was the offender. Once I removed that, my phone's mike started working again. Never investigated the app to see if anyone else reported a problem. I just figured I didn't need it so badly as to lose my ability to talk on the phone (and let people know I was actually able to hear them).

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Bright Star:
Hi, does anyone else experience a fingerprint reading issue with a glass-based screen protector?

I've tried 2 versions already (with camera hole and without), and with both of them unlocking the phone using a fingerprint is far from working smoothly.

I've tried to re-add the fingerprint and enable the touch sensitivity, but the result is the same.

I'd before a silicon-based protector which used to work perfectly, but I don't like this type of protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Finneri:
Ultrasonic FP sensor does not work with glass protector, not perfectly. Use plastic ones, or UV glue (like whitestone dome). I decided to go without protection, obviosly the best solution...until the first crack or scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Bright Star:
Thanks for the detailed information. I'd a silicon one but it got scratched very quickly.

I will search for alternatives!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] pitelasssss:
delete your fp

add fprints again after new screen protector placed

( i made with mine, just press a little more when you're setting new fp )
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] unomedmen1:
Try amFilm Hybrid. Its half plastic half glass and it works flawlessly. Been using since day one, no issues with FP.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Bright Star:
Thanks! will definitely check it out once the glass one I currently have will be broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Bright Star:
Tried that already, indeed it works better when I'm hard-pressing my fp but this kind of experience is not what I've hoped for.

Literally, I really thought that an under-the-screen detector is the best solution but once I understood that it works only for a specific point in the screen, and the issues with various glass-based protectors, I think that a sensor in the back of the Smartphone is actually a better solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] pitelasssss:
true 😶
