I like it:) I miss the candybar layout- a sliding keyboard that squeaks vs. no moving parts for me is a no brainer:) (actually the setup on the new blackberry is intriguing as well) It would be nice if the specs on the internal memory would start increasing, seeing as how cheap memory seems to be getting lately. If it worked on tmo's 3g, I would be all over it.
[G1 General] jdoggraz:
Haha nice, oh well I still like the Dash for now... Even though the G1 can do somethings that the dash can't.... and the 3g on the g1 is amazing... I wish there was ultimately a way to have an emulator on the g1...
[G1 General] djind:
Could anyone point me to the right direction of this all > What are Root, RC8, RC29 and RC30 etc. Is there a starting point on this forum about the phone, about installing apps, from market and pc (pc > dont think this is possible yet?). I was under the impression the G1 was as open as can be. Then what's the point of jailbreaking. Does the over the air update effect a G1 in The Netherlands? I've read alot, but I can't put the pieces together/in the right order, because I didn't start from the beginning. Thank you in advance.

I live in The Netherlands and we have 240 Volts coming out if the walls. In the US this is 110V if I'm correct. Is it possible to use another HTC charger bought in The Netherlands to charge the phone?
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Finally got my screen to stop squeaking...

the easy way....

(this is actually a friends G1, he wont tell me how it happened, but I am pretty sure it was thrown.:D)
[G1 General] demontefixo:
1) Go to the Developers sub-forum for the RCxx threads (more detail there than you will probably want initially, then not enough detail as you hack-away!)

2) installing apps are phone -> market or internet at the moment. I think there is a way to install from the SD card (which means PC -> SD) but I personally have not explored that method yet.

3) it is very open and will be more open in the future, this is still a "baby" phone/OS. The RC30 OTA was to stop 99% of the people from trashing their phones by mistake thereby reducing the calls to customer service. On the other hand, plain text typing from the keyboad (reboot, etc) wasn't a very good thing. We'll see improvements on this in the future. Personally, I think the term 'jailbreaking' is misapplied here, the iPhone has many more issues. As far as SIM unlocking, that is available free from TMo.

4) the OTA updates will catch up to you in the NL, I am not certain if you will get the UK version or the US version.

5)the US charger is autosensing for line voltage and accepts 110-240V AC, no need to buy another unless you'd prefer a native plug for the wall instead of the US 'spade' type.

Welcome to a great phone.

Connect G1 with USB. If you're missing the USB driver, get it here. Grab a copy of adb from here. Unzip it into the folder with the apks you want to install. Open a console, navigate to the folder with the apks and adb, and type adb install xxx.apk, where xxx is the name of the apk you want to install.
[G1 General] fireman1937:
Anyone want to sell a g1 or maybe trade?

Is their anyone out there that would either sell me a g1 at a reasonable price or maybe trade for a hermes plus some cash. The hermes is a cingular 8525, unlocked. I have the charger, headset, usb cable, plus I just bought a new i-mate jasjam case for it. The only thing That is missing is the front camera. If anyone is interested please let me know. I know it is unlikely that it will happen but let me know.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
My jaw dropped to the ground in sheer horror on that one.
[G1 General] djind:
Thnx for clearing all that up.. I think it's best for me to take a day or two and get familiar with Android and then perform updates and hacks.
[G1 General] nosaj13:
I'm selling a Black G1...selling for $350, maybe more than you want to spend but that's what they're going for on ebay.
[G1 General] vr24:
Hermes is selling for about $200-$220 - G1's around $350.

I just sold my 8525 for $200, purchased the G1 with contract extension for $179.

Fireman, you are better off, if you can, just extending your contract. Even if you cancel early, the termination fee plus the discounted price of the phone is the same price they sell for on ebay anyways.
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Would be tempting to do... but I have the HTC Wizard already.. and my G1 just came in today.. so it sounds nice too and I wanna see how much more it will become. They already praise it higher then the iphone and I love showing off to fanboys who are like OMGZ Iphone ftw.. Ill be like stuff it now. =D

(Even tho I do that with my Symbian phones lol to show off)
[G1 General] fireman1937:
Well, I have to sell my hermes first before I can do anything. The boss told me that!!

T-mobile G2 rumored to released in January?

This author is talking as if he is 100% sure the phone will be released. That's B/S we just got our G1s.... If the phone is released and it has those features i will probably end up getting as well. Video Calling, are you kidding me!

http://www.cellphonesignal.com/t-mobile-g2-coming-on-january-26th-09/
[G1 General] roguestatuskat:
probably not 2009

hope fully we will get a big os update for the hardware like better camera functions and multitouch since it is capable and bluetooth connectivity but

they will wait atleast a year for the next one
[G1 General] speed_pour:
but...I don't see Steve Jobs anywhere? :D

I'm sure the Android phones are going to eventually come streaming out, but HTC had too early of a start in developing the handset so nobody else should be turning up THIS early...and I just don't think HTC is going to pull a Jobs.

I'm sure it'll come, along with a ridiculous stream of others, but not this early in the game.

HTC had announced they wouldn't develop Android for the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, but they didn't say anything about Touch HD. I read that that could be called the G2. Is the Touch HD already introduced in the US?

HTC Dream Versus HTC Fuze

I'm not sure if this goes here, or if this has already been posted, but I would like to know which I should get for ATT. I can purchase a unlocked Dream (G1) or a Fuze (Touch Pro) for Christmas.

If I go with the G1 I lose 3G. If I go with the Fuze I lose a (possibly) better camera, and a chance to be, or at least I would have to wait, on the Android Operating System. Don't get me wrong I love Windows Mobile. I just like testing new things more.

So I want to know which should I get. Some sites rank the Fuze as better then the Dream and other the reverse.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Go with the Fuze. This thread will probably get move/merged soon.
[G1 General] liamwolf:
Ah, I figured the thread would but I already had it written in ScribeFire so I went ahead and posted it anyway.

I see you quoted the "I love Windows Mobile" part but you didn't quote the "I like testing new things more" part.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Well I have no idea what parts of WinMo you "love", but i've seen way too many WinMo converts on the Dream forums gripe about the various well-documented shortcomings of Dream. If WinMo does it for ya, its a safe bet. I could go on and on about the various differences between the two, but Android is in such a rapid state of flux that what I say today might not have any significance in a week or a month.

Above anything else, if you decide to go with Android you should look at it in terms of "what the future brings" not "what is in your hand today".
[G1 General] liamwolf:
Bold = Yes, I know. That's how I always look at new gadgets. I've already found so many different things that I want to do with them in the future and I don't have either of them yet. I believe I live in the future, then the present, lastly the past.

I like Windows Mobile because, well, I just like it. It was the first phone operating system that I tried that didn't keep me tied down. I love tweaking stuff, and the first phone I could do that on was my Blackjack. So Windows Mobile will always hold a place in my heart.

That come off a little too sappy? I think it came off sappy. I just mean that I like Windows, and I like Linux. I use both on my phones and on my computers. :cool:
[G1 General] jashsu:
Android is in many ways rather rigidly structured and designed (owing I think to the fact that it is targeted as a consumer smartphone OS). That said, if you like having total freedom, Android does not quite offer that. Being based on Linux opens up a lot of possibilities. However if you run Linux desktops regularly, you might be disappointed when you start hacking away at Android. The most salient point is that you have no access to root on a G1 (unless you get a rootable device or a DP1). Beyond that, the Android framework currently doesn't have a lot if any support for third party native binaries. For a while anyway, userapps will be bound to Java/Dalvik.

WinMo powerusers may find Android's layering, sandboxing, and security systems to be more suffocating. WinMo casual users will definitely suffer from the shortage of available apps. If you can shrug both of these concerns then maybe Android is a good fit for you. You should go into a T-Mo store and actually handle one if you can. The G1 hardware itself also seems like a love-or-hate device. Some folks can't stand the chin, some love it.
[G1 General] liamwolf:
Thanks for the advice. I'll go handle one at the nearest T-Mobile store.
[G1 General] dshyang50:
Has anybody had a problem with their screen being angled slightly downward to the left when it's opened? I just noticed my G1 doing this and hope there's an easy way to fix it.
[G1 General] diabolical28:
Since nobody replied if you still have this problem call 611 and demand a replacement. ( if its new like 14 days or so they will ship you out a brandnew one.)
[G1 General] dshyang50:
I'm wondering if it'll be an issue that I actually don't have the G1 plan with TMo but still own the phone. In other words, do I have any form of warranty?
[G1 General] razor1394:
It looks too cheap to me, even the PRO version. It smells fishy :/. What company is manufacturing the phone? It looks like the first phone from Kogan... Their past products have been TV sets, HDTV receivers, video cameras. Uhmm... :confused: They don't have Paypal either only Eway. I've never heard of Eway before.
[G1 General] Plastriq:
Any Dutch people awaiting their G1s here? Can't wait personally :D
[G1 General] jdoggraz:
When will you be getting one?
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Whats up jdog, how have you been? Sold my dash so im g1 all the way now :D
[G1 General] CBowley:
I wish everyone with stupid non searched, easily answered noob questions posted in this thread..

Would it be possible for a mod to create a noob forum "xda-developers > dream > newbie" ? That would decrease clutter by about 80% at least. Where would I make this suggestion for a mod to see it?
[G1 General] BolecDST:
I don't think this would help a lot, because many people wouldn't admit that they're newbies and would post either in development section or dream one.

But if you insist to ask here, there it goes. Is there any other emulator except NES, that is working fine? By fine I mean: it is working at enjoyable speed and emulates sound, there are no problem with controls or whatever else. Thanks in advance for replies.

[G1 General] jc1337:
Could the firmware from the Palm Pre be ported over to the HTC Dream since both of their bases are Linux? I was just thinking about it earlier today.
[G1 General] lukekirstein:
I haven't read anything on the Palm Pre yet, but my guess is that we'd have to see whether or not the coding works with the Dream's hardware. Most likely, that won't be the case. We also have to factor in things such as cpu speeds and its capabilities on the Dream compared to the Pre, which I haven't read about either.

My guess is probably not.
[G1 General] lazaro17:
also i would suggest posting this in general next time seeing as the palm pre has nothing to do with android development.

and palm pre os would probably be closed, that's like asking if we can get iphone os on the g1.
[G1 General] jc1337:
Sorry guys, I thought that it was for both dream and android development. I thought if you needed to say something about development pertaining to one or both of those (android or dream development) then that was the place for it. Once again, sorry.

as far as integration, i have been working on a dongle for my car's alarm system that interfaces with my car computer, and using bluetooth, it detects the proximity of my phone and either locks or unlocks. also enables or disables the car alarm :D

[G1 General] dan0zone:
well hello all . I just came across this in the tmobile forums , they were discussing weather tmobile should let people post about rooting (basically that what I got ) , but then it turned into a >how bad rooting is for android < thread real quick. Give it a read and tell me what you think.. I love my rooted G1 , and as I understand from my research on android OS, malicious things can happen but not so easily done on this OS ,,,, so like I said , give it a read ,just want get some opinions..

http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/boa...&thread.id=6638&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
[G1 General] JanetPanic:
I will start with my opinion that a couple of the users there spout as fact a lot of incorrect information. He seems to think on a rooted phone you do not need to escalate to have root access. He even gives the specific example that you do not need sudo or su to type root commands, which is false. He then states the ADP1 does not have root, also false. ION may become ADP2 but it is not yet.

Rooting your phone is a calculated risk. At this stage I do not think I could consider a stock G1 as a usable phone by comparison. The number of apps I use, much less have installed, would not fit without apps2sd. And Cyanogen's ROMs are much faster, going to a stock G1 would be frustratingly slow by comparison.

IMO if you root your phone and brick it then you should not be sending it back to T-Mo. You destroyed it, buy a new one. Don't wine/lie to T-Mo when you know you were doing something that was not covered by warranty. In that sense of the word root is harmful. We are introducing a way to potentially destroy our phone and then put an undue burden on T-Mo by returning said phones. The "danger to the network" line is a bunch of crap though. We are not writing new radio's or control software, we are principally modifying the OS.

Edit: correction, I was attributing the comments of multiple people on that thread to a single person.
[G1 General] dan0zone:
Well this is what most of us here at XDA know .For the most part its just modifying the stock OS. As for my opinion ,I think if these guys don't understand what rooting android is ,then they should not be encouraged to do it , but , its hard to not become encouraged when they read of the things that android can do when rooted . Problem with that is they then don't want to start at the beginning , they just want the end result and this is where we get all the "help me please "threads any and everywhere in the forums.

What we need is for all new members to be redirected to XDA-wiki to become more educated in what they are about to do to their device...
[G1 General] temporizer:
not only what they are about to do, but how to post in the forums. I think there should be a way to make it so they have to read 50 posts (give or take 100, lol) and take a test BEFORE they post.

I've been spending most of my time in Cyanogen's threads and the amount of useless posts is exponential. the thread could be a 1/4 of the size if there was a method to keep them from posting until they take a test... lol

I've been around for a while and i know how to not post useless information. I only post if i find a bug that no one else has said anything about. I also don't make yet another useless post to point out a useless post.
[G1 General] david1171:
stored up rant

i try not to post for the sake of saying something but i have had this rant stored up for a while and think this is a proper place to drop with it being an off topic lounge.

i hate it when some one post flashing now. so what, you are flashing, who gives a damn. many other people are aw well who have the decency to not post their every action. do these same people have blogs to let people know when they go the bathroom or walk or breathe

the other ones are in the hero threads about how there is lag, or how it is not as fast as cyanogen's rom. of course it has lag. really now do you have to be able to perform rocket surgery (yes i just said rocket surgery) to know that hero is not designed for the g1, that there is a ram difference.

the one's i think that are most annoying though are the one's where someone complains about everything someone has put all sorts of hard work into, then ends it with no offense. really no offense, like if i told someone i hope you die, all the things you deeply believe in are worthless, but if i end it with no offense then it is ok and no one can have a problem with it.

well that was me blowing off some steam.
[G1 General] temporizer:
I'm a smarta$$

yes, it's called twitter. lol

rocket surgery! lol. i saw that on failblog.org

[G1 General] :
Way way too many words david, no offense but I don't understand simple or big words. Can you give me a happy meduim.

Once again no offense

Oh and hero is not as fast as cyan's. It kinda laggy

Wow that link to the tmobile forums are full of babies that don't know a damn thing about linux or android and are speaking out of their ass, **** censorship, the world is not all china and peopke really need to shut their damn mouths before speaking.

[G1 General] dan0zone:
now mind you guys , most of our new android members here on XDA came from tmobile forums ,and most of them were sidekick users ,which in turn means MOST of them are 11 - 17 . Now I'm not saying that thats bad ,because some of of our most talented people here are very young , but those guys are the worst, most of them don't follow the rules about starting new threads because the mods over there encourage them to , so they think they are entitled to do this .Back when they were just starting up I tried to warn the main MOD over @ tmobile forums about this trend , but she ignored it , now its gotten out of hand . Now that tmobile forums is official ,when one does a search about tmobile g1 or mytouch, they are lead to that forum with all the misconceptions about android... and sadly tmobile's tech support also encourages their customers to go there for 'GOOD' information ,tips and tricks ....sad so sad....

G1 problems

Hey guys, need some help if possible.....

About 3-4 days ago, I got a notification on my g1 to install a new update, I accepted and the download process started and ended as usual.

When the phone rebooted at the end of everything, I see the original t-mobile design, then the android logo, and then a black screen... and thats it, my phone just remains black, no sign of life.

I cant power the device off, I have to pull the battery out, I tried soft and hard reset but nothing works...

Please someone, anyone, save my g1 !!!!
[G1 General] Shoofwiar:
Hi all:)

Been a reader not a contributer to this forum for a short amount of time and thought i should let everyone know who i am, whilst im learning from your good selves. Ive never visited a forum where doing a search function can answer 100% of any questions ive had so far:D.

My names Stu, 30 years old from the uk and currently been rooted for a couple of months now.

Gots me a G1 with Danger.spl and using SuperD 1.9.3Blk Nexus Launcher.

Ive flashed various Eclair roms but nothing comes close to superD for speed and stability for everyday use. OK its a donut ROM but who cares right?

So thats it for now and im currently awaiting for the release of the next SuperD anytime now.

Hope to speak to you all soon:D
