And remember most people are new to development, don't know how many "this is my first try" apps I have seen. When you get that one that charges 20 bucks for the app... you will get another developer who will release it free and just ask for donations... I suggest donating whatever you can to the one that gives it free.

google isnt the one entirely in charge of the market... tmobile is the one wanting money
[G1 General] Henchman:
No, but it was google who shoudl ahve made sure that the basics were coveredf well.

The Camera I'm sure can take greta pics, but the controls suck.

The email is severly lacking.

No streaming video.

And they shoudl ahve elarnt form the iPhoen release, that push email fro MsExcahnge should have been there fromt he getgo.

Or the should have built a BB app, just like you can get for WinMo.

No, they focused on teenagers, not professionals.
[G1 General] cboy007:
no....google is not taking any money but is giving 30% of all apps sold to the carriers...tmobile might be the one "wanting" money but they have no control over the app store at all.
[G1 General] neoobs:
I looked into it and the camera is not google's fault but HTC... the drivers are all proprietary in the source along with wifi, gps, and the radio.

I use GMail and frankly think anyone who doesn't shouldn't complain, you are the one that choose your email provider in the beginning and should have known that email providers suck. I use GMail and Google Apps through the email client and love it, of course I use IMAP and I know what I am doing.

Streaming video? I can't really think of a reason why it is needed or why it should be a basic?

And as for MSExchange I blame MS because of their backhanded tactics and morals they have used in the past... frankly I am glad it doesn't have anything to do with MS including hotmail and MSN Live (besides the IM client)

I don't see how this is built towards teenagers... I think right now it is geared towards developers since this is a Beta version of the software. But if you didn't read up on the phone before you bought it then that is neither google nor t-mobiles fault

They have complete control over their network... and you use their network to get to the app store. They are the ones like other carriers who want money to pay for bandwidth costs.

"what im saying is why do all these new applications have so many bugs and in my opinion (cause that is all it is) are sub-par"

Because free apps are not made by a magical app fairy? A lot of apps on the Android market are being made by enthusiasts and hobbyist programmers who have a varying degree of programming proficiency.
[G1 General] WhatzinyourphonE:
Look at it this way.

Would you rather developers make a more useful app that you use a lot, and it has bugs? Or for people to learn what and how to develop more in depth apps. But for a phone that's been out for less than a year a lot has happened. How long was it for our WMs devices to get to where they are and get the apps they have now.

And look at the iphone, who needs an app to tell you where u should eat? The iphone has tons of apps that you would only use once or twice, the difference is that they are used in fun and "cool" ways and don't have any really use. Now the G1 is open sorce so that means its more likely to see apps with deeper userability "is that a word?" and are likely to be more powerful in funtion rather than looks!

I think everyone is just feeling like since they have a ppowerful device why aren't there powerful apps. But developers want to use the most of having a open source OS.

The only thing im really waiting on is a virtual keyboard and that's it, everythin else will be extra. For a phone that's been out for so little time you can't say its gotten no where. I can't wait to drop my iphone and UPGRADE to the dream!
[G1 General] neoobs:
It hasn't even been out a month... I think a year is a far off statement... not to mention the iPhone's OS has been out over a year now right?
[G1 General] timace:
"magical app fairy"? i think i saw that in the market lol...i never said they were and as i stated "just my opinion"...looks like most agree...and i am not losing faith in google stepping up...yet
[G1 General] bgsitizen:
Wait till we have to start paying $20 for a program and still have to be told what can we install on our phone... lol. Comming from WM and its excelent selection of free software its going to suck badly. Also no VOIP what's wrong with Tmobile?! I used to use Nimbuzz and that's not even an option right now. I also agree the phone was meant for the teenage croud not for power users. Now the camera... many say its great.. I don't think so its clear true that but if the when the object is even barely moving the pix are blurry. The inexistanse of any controls is beond my understanding....
[G1 General] neoobs:
I am a little confused... where are you being told what you can install on the phone?

What many of you fail to realize is that this phone is still in development. If you got it for business you need to start reading up on what you are buying... your not a good businessman if you don't read up on these things before you buy.
[G1 General] jashsu:
I will concede that WM has one significant advantage over Android-- and that is the ability to run apps compiled for ARM as opposed to a jvm. That said, WM's user interface came out of the back end of a farm animal. If the ability to run an eight-year backlog of native apps is a priority for you then get a Touch Pro.

Honestly the killer app for me is background push gmail and push gchat. Anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.
[G1 General] fryercjn:
I understand that Android can run compiled apps (don't yet know where to find a tool chain mind) but only jvm is "supported". I guess that means they're not releasing a C++ SDK but given the fact the the entire OS is open source ... surely that's written in C ... disappears to the Dream developers forum ...
[G1 General] bgsitizen:
Sorry. I meant that the average user will be limited by the Android market and what's offered there. I know there will be ways to customize the phone but I wonder to what extend. Let's say someone made an application to take full advantage of Skype, do you think they will be allowed to post it at the market? I don't think so. The only thing there is iskoot where you'd have to use your minutes. That is mostly Tmobile deal though Google should have made sure that something like Voip has to be built in as the phone came out.

Also I did read up on the phone and I knew what I was buying. I also knew its the first of its kind so there will be problems. What I did not know is that after all the money Google was "pouring" into Android, we got a buggy undeveloped phone as a result. I mean let's face it, there is nothing revolutionary about the G1 to be under development still... as I said Motorola has been doing great things based on Linux for years now. Iphone was revolutionary as much as I hate to admit it! Someone mentioned Gmail and Gtalk support well my Blackberry Curve had java based ones that were great in instant. I hope we see better things done to some unlocked phones using Android in the near future... I know it hasn't been a month but noone can convince me that Google couldn't make any update based on users feedback concidering they put two updates out that didn't really update anything but some security issues...
[G1 General] jashsu:
Let's dispel some misconceptions here. First, Android Market is administered by Google, not Tmobile. Secondly, there is a clearly written policy of what is allowed and what is not allowed on Android Market here. Nothing on that list prohibits the creation of a voip client. Finally,

Android Market is not the only way to get apks onto the G1

. You can point the browser at http://your.url.here/yourprogram.apk and install it just fine.

One big reason there is not a super awesome Skype client on the G1 right now is because Skype is a closed, encrypted protocol, so only Skype LLC can create a Skype app.
[G1 General] bgsitizen:
Exactly my point. Google not Tmobile but at the same time myny websites quoted Tmobile saying voip will not be allowed... go figure. Also there is Nimbuzz and few more client you can take full advantage of Skype and they work on any OS. At last the url is bad or at least my browser says so.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Ah yeah I meant it to be a sample url. You plug in your own (real) hosting or ftp url there.

The main reason why there isn't a huge deluge of apps for the G1 right now is because for the most part developers (especially hobbyists) want to program for larger audiences. That's probably why Google put out Google Earth and Google Voice Search on iPhone before G1. It's nothing to be confused about. However, don't worry. The installbase of Android will increase in 2009 as more manufacturers start producing devices with it. And then you will start seeing more apps and better apps come out.

There is no reason you can't go get a Java programming guide and jump right in and start creating apps yourself right now.
[G1 General] neoobs:
There is an application that lets you save on minutes.

It is easy enough to install other apps not in the Market and I am sure any user could do it if they wanted to. The question is how many would want to and know about an app that was available outside the market?

About it not being revolutionary you had to name 3 different (completely) phones to talk about features... that all seem to have or will be supported on the G1 so if nothing less than it makes it so you don't have to carry 3 phones with you. I think you sell everything short and may be listening to those who are putting the G1 down because they don't know about it.
[G1 General] bgsitizen:
Hmm let's see.. I own a Wing, Tilt, Curve, E71, E2 and E6 all unlocked, tweeked and modyfied to my own liking. That's about every OS out there so I think I can draw my own conclusions without listening to people who put down THE G1! Just saying that makes you sound like a fanboy... Now the phones I was reffering to are different but when properly modyfied they would do everything the G1 does and more. I was talking about Google Android not the G1. As we all know the Dream unfortunately isn't a hardware wonder but a very basic smartphone with nice screen and somewhat faster CPU. If it wasn't for Android none of us would probably have had upgraded their Wings, Curves and etc. Again I'm keeping mine because its nice piece for my collection and it has some nice feautures. I was just saying my opinion that's what forums are for, I'm not selling anything to anyone.

Later.

Please help with t32+ question vs xda tytn

Hello goe out to all the developers. My name is Hank and I am asking anyone out there to please help me with some questions I have. I am not a developer

I am a customer. I want to buy a t32+ with internal gps(their latest model) runnin windows mobile 6, but I want to make sure +. Anyone who can help me understand if I should buy it or not would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone and please educate me.
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
Most of the complaints I see about this phone are people who had unrealistic expectations of the phone to begin with. They assumed feature or application x, y, z would be on the phone and work exactly the way they want it to. They looked at a cat and assumed it was going to magically transform into a dog. Now they're mad that no such transformation has happened. If you wanted all these bits of functionality, all these apps, why did you buy a phone that never promised that it would have them, and the creators were quite honest about this. You weren't tricked, lied-to, or decieved.

You want the iPhone's apps and functions, buy an iPhone.

You want the blackberry's apps and functions, buy a blackberry.

You want Windows Mobile apps and functions, buy a Windows Mobile device.

You want the G1 and expect iPhone/Windows Mobile/Blackberry functions, apps -- you're going to be 100% disatisfied. This isn't those devices. This is Android. This is a different direction, a whole new way of thinking about mobile devices. You don't want to go in that direction, that's totally valid. You want to go down the same road as BB, WM, and iPhone -- you're welcome to it. Please do, no one is stopping you.

I admit the G1 is not perfect, and yes, I'm looking forward to updates and apps just like everyone else. However, I take FULL responsibility for this decision. I chose this. No one forced me. No one lied to me. No one tricked me. I read everything I could about this device, accepted that some things I want (like excel/word doc editing) may not happen for quite some time, if at all. I also accepted that since this is a new idea, things that I think are basic, obvious, may not be included at launch. Again, this was my decision, and mine alone. I'm 99% happy with my decision, and that's pretty good for me. This device is 10 times better than the T-Mobile Wing that I spent months modifying so that it would be half as fun and user friendly as the G1. I don't miss my stylus at all! Every day I pull up the Market, excited to see what's new. There's a lot of interesting apps, few of them being things I'm interested in, and some of them not quite as polished as I hoped, but they are free, so my expectations are low.

My 2 cents.
[G1 General] jashsu:
I agree.

Users (of all platforms not just Android) should spend less time complaining about the lack of app xyz and more time learning to program so they can implement it themselves.
[G1 General] Yos025:
Thank You...

People need to understand this is a NEW begining... Remember we won't see real great apps until next year when developers will be able to get pay for their hard work...
[OnePlus 10 Pro] soloslinger:
My OnePlus 5 never seemed to have an issue with hitting the hotspot limits. Pick up a OnePlus 10, and now I keep hitting the limits. I'm not a "heavy" user, but certainly more than 3GB in a billing cycle. I've tried some of the other tethering app options and they seem subpar to the experience I had with my OnePlus 5. I'm curious what other people are doing?

Thanks in advance,

soloslinger
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
There may be 3rd party hacks you can use. AT&T may or may not detect this. Google it.

3gb isn't much, I can burn that easy in a day or less.

Best thing to do is get on an unlimited data plan.

Might have more luck doing so with a 4G plan without 5G. Try talking with the AT&T customer loyalty group (retainment dept), they can offer deals that the sales group can't.

Lol, I'm on a grandfathered 4G unlimited plan. 5G doesn't look so good to me in part because of this. 4G gives acceptable download rates; many time the limiting factor is the website not the 4G.

I deliberately got another 4G Note 10+ because of better battery life with no 5G, variable refresh rate display and it's just a sublime device.

If you have a grandfather AT&T 4G unlimited plan, don't let AT&T talk you out of it! It will remain in force until that technology is obsolete. With 4G that will likely be many years from now.

[Redmi Note 10] MinimumMridul:
I wan to install a custom rom in my Redmi Note 10 (mojito)

I'm confused, Which custom rom would be better?

Pixel Experience vs PixelPlus vs PixelOS?

Note: my priority is smoothness, stability, good multitasking and good ram management.

I don't care about features or customisation.

Please help!!! 🙏🙏
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
stop comparing roms

asking for best/better and comparing roms is rude for the work of the developers

try each one and find the best for you

they are free anyways , you aren't paying for custom roms
[Redmi Note 10] MinimumMridul:
Ohh sorry, I don't mean to be rude.

I respect All the developers for their hardwork.

I was just asking if anyone has used all 3 of them, they can help me choose.

If I sounded rude, I apologize. 🙏🙏😥
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
i used all of them...

if you ask my opinion i would choose PixelOS...

but now i'm on crDroid which is amazing too
[Redmi Note 10] priyank.g:
I like crDroid over all of the others rn
[Redmi Note 10] Mthw:
Can you list a few reasons why? Just curious. I am on PixelOS now and find it to be the best.
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
highly customizable and very stable rom , i'm using since 1 week ago and is definitely worth it

after trying all roms available , i prefer crDroid over all other roms

Hi to all, im new here...i've problem with my dopod 818, i had read all guide but it seems not working for me...

firstly my dopod looks like this...(didnt load into OS)

but after that, i try to upgrade it, but suddently it became "qtek" not dopod anymore...

before i upgrade, my IPL is 2.15.0001 and my SPL is 2.G4.4PDA but now, my IPL is 2.15.0001 and SPL is 2.20.0001 :confused:

and another thing is, some rom still same like above( didnt load into OS) and some rom, after i open, always load into bootloader...

another thing is, i've seen ppl talking about hardSPL... using "hardSPL.bat".. but i can't use it...because my dopod didnt connect to PC... it only can connect if in bootloader...so i can only use "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4" but still look same like nothing happen...

correct me if im wrong....been trough all guide to upgrade but failed...really2 need help here...:o
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] nobita_:
thanks to gohengky, bt i've done it before...but same prob...

NOW, i can load into OS...but i've got another problem which is sometimes can load and sometimes can't load into OS (fade to white screen)... but if its load into OS, its seems too lagging, no sound, always state "charging" but not pluged with charger (refer picture)...yellow light always appear..before load, its only shows IPL,SPL and OS...but sometimes shows GSM (hardly)...

i had 1time when my dopod load into os perfectly...very smooth and nice,no yellow light(if not pluged charger)...(thanks to Cloudyfa) but after i reset/restart my device, it will be like before...

now im using

IPL : 2.20.001

SPL :3.08.001

Radio ROM(GSM) : 2.61.21 (had tried all radio ROM)

Ext ROM : Mysterious 1.0 (7.7.7.7)

what problem with my prophet actually??? is it wrong IPL/SPL/Radio ROM/???

thanks....

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] bLusiLv:
have u tried hard spl again? what did u upgrade to btw? after that try flashing another rom..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] nobita_:
already did hard spl... but i can't always hard spl/upgrade rom because my dopod can't sync with PC... if lucky, it can sync... but 1/50... means can sync after 50 tries... can't downgrade to WM5, can't upgrade to WM6.1... if i on my dopod, screen became white... but some times, it shows dopod and then just go white...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] deltav13:
See my posts on other topics

Just follow the steps i described on the other posts on the forum under prophet upgrading to recover the original Rom , don´t worry about sync problems its normal, follow that procedure and you will be fine.:D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] arwaniku:
i have the same problem with u now :(

anybody can hel us :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] arwaniku:
can u tell me how it can be happen ?

your prohet can load into OS

my prophet is stuck now at the welcome screen :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] sunset73:
Suggestion for those having problems with upgrading their prophet, either

1. Prophet stuck at multi-color screen

2. OS won't load

Don't do HardSPL if possible. I did HardSPL and it actually screwed up my prophet.

1. Recover your phone with QTEK rom (do a quick search in the forum)

2. Download SOFTSPL (search in forum)

3. Extract files and put in root of phone, just next to windows folder.

4. Run SPL.ink from your prophet. (screen should turn white)

5. Start the update file found inside the ROM package.

6. After that, phone will re-boot. (If successful, OS version will be different)

6. Viola ! You got a new WM 6.1 or 6.5 running in your mobile !

I'm a successful example, now running my prophet on WM 6.5 Titanium :D

This phone i have i bought recently.I would like help rooting this phone so i can remove stuff i don't need.

The only problem is the OEM unlock is missing from the Dev Options.I have looked for many ways to unlock this option and i am scratching my head.

It's been a while since i tried to Rooting...Would like some kinda video and guide.

Not worried about the Warranty BS i own the phone.

FYI Edit: the android version is 12 and recently updated as of yesterday.
