I need a physical keyboard...

I'll wait for the G3. Unless samsung manages to pull out an OmniaHD with a keyboard and android
[General Topics] jamesd86:
this looks like a cheaper less expensive g1...i doubt there will be anywhere near the support

for this phone as there has been for the Dream.
[General Topics] Ron Overdrive:
No physical keyboard? Fail. I can't stand touch screen for typing I need a physical keyboard. The most common complaints I hear about the iPhone and the Blackberry Storm is the lack of a physical keyboard. I also don't see anything about a onboard GPU either that'd give it graphics that can compete with the iPhone. Like what was said it's probably just a G1 that's cheaper to make which is utterly disappointing. It's less like a G2 and more like a G1.5.
[General Topics] sonikamd:
bummer, i was hoping for a full screen face. looks like a keyboardless, cheaper G1 :/

Appears to have video tho.. may be useful for the g1?

HTC Magic

I thought this was interesting, HTC is releasing its second Android phone, and no its not the G2.

I just happened to browse there website today and noticed the new phone, what strikes me as odd is the fact that the phone has no physical keyboard and they say its all on-screen... Which I assume means they have a cupcake build running stable enough for a release with Vodaphone.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-is-official-bringing-android-to-vodafone-sans-keyboar/

You can also see the phone at HTC's website:

Please forgive if this was already posted somewhere...

On a side note, today is my Birthday maybe I can ask for a shiny new Android phone :P
[General Topics] spy_owl2:
Looks like it would have to run a stable release branched off from the cupcake development branch since, per its specs, it would at least need:

- software keyboard

- video recording capability

- A2DP
[General Topics] killacoz53:
if you read the engadget post you'll see that the keyboard is not yet stable
[General Topics] dwang:
One thing the htc magic does have are all the cupcake compatible google and closed source apps.

In the phonedog video, somebody actually demoed the new enhancements to the gmail app such as tagging for batch processing.

I'm guessing google is waiting for cupcake to stabilize before making those apps available.
[General Topics] Fushichou:
Good to see they're sticking with some sort of lip at the bottom, funny if all Android phones happened to have bent bottoms to them ;)
[General Topics] coolbho3000:
Or, they are releasing their apps to phone manufacturers rather than developers first. Google needs to get their priorities in order, I think.
[General Topics] bakgwailo:
also note that the Vodaphone site says release in Spring, which means probably end of spring/summer. Really, anything that they demoed could have easily been smoke and mirrors (very common in software/gadgets :rolleyes: ), but, most likely they are working off of trunk that had cupcake merged into it back in December.

In other words, this means nothing about a stable cupcake build :)
[General Topics] Meltus:
could the firmware for this be ported to the G1, seing as its, well, basically the same?

or would there be no physical keyboard support, etc?
[General Topics] Kryptyx:
Hmm I suppose your right, with the spring/summer release date I wonder if they *think* they will have cupcake stable by then. This is kind of a relief for me, I just got my G1 back in early December - I'd be kinda upset to see a G2 release so fast.

The hardware is mildly better if that, so I suppose its nothing to get too excited about, I guess its a white G1 without the keyboard... Personally the keyboard was one of the bigger selling points to me buying the G1 over the iPhone. Besides my love for Google products.
[General Topics] bakgwailo:
BTW, this is NOT the G2, as t-mobile owns that name. The G2 will probably be a different HTC phone. That said, I agree, to me, losing my physical QWERTY keyboard is a major downgrade :D
[General Topics] kathi17:
I like having the physical keyboard too, and I think the G1 is a better looking phone. I'm really happy to know that I won't be wishing I had the Magic instead of the Dream!
[General Topics] Kryptyx:
Yes, I know its not the G2... There were alot of rumors that HTC's next android powered phone would be the G2... Which its not :)

I'm kinda bummed the Majic has a working video recorder, and our G1 does not. Woulda thought we would get the upgrade as soon as it was available. Oh well, still lovin my G1 with all the big cracks in my screen (the wife dropped it one month ago).

[General Topics] coolbho3000:
Yeah, the g1 was *stated* to have 192MB RAM too, but that includes the baseband chip. I'm sure they're pulling the same thing here. 128MB with 64MB baseband.
[General Topics] dwang:
192mb is the physical amount of ram on the phone, exactly like the g1.
[General Topics] sangeet.003:
the best thing here is that we on our g1 have got keyboard... cupcake we ll get it before the magic arrives in the market as we know firmware is only the matter which will be the same for both the phones viz dream and magic so moving the virtual keyboard and video will be as easy as updating the camera and launcher applications since the firmware eill be 1.5 for both

only the stuff missing to us on our dream g1 will be 512 mb ram so we need to find some way to get more space other than space for apps on sd i think moving the whole android os system to the sdcard will be the best idea means booting externally via removable storage but this would neead a lot of brain/tricks & hacks and wont be easy too...

every thing else g1 is the best in the universe...(According to me)
[General Topics] :
and video... according to HTC's website....
[General Topics] kathi17:
Did everyone miss this? Portrait orientation only, and the lack of a physical keyboard would be deal killers for me.

As far as a lot of the other features listed, we will probably have those on our phones too.
[General Topics] MontAlbert:
i saw a vid on you tube which showed it operating in landscape in messaging- i am sure droidsans could get it to rotate :-)

interesting this quote from android community:

"In terms of the hardware, under the hood there’s little different to the G1. What HTC have tweaked is the software, which has made the capacitive touchscreen more responsive and the smartphone as a whole speedier."

will this tweak be able to be ported to the G1?
[General Topics] numerik:
Google has stated multiple times that the Google apps are closed source and are not part of the Android platform. This isn't any thing new so I'm not sure why you think "Google needs to get their priorities in order". HTC doesn't have access to the source for those apps either and likely asked Google to build a 1.5 firmware for them to demonstrate the phone.

Also, with the hardware being virtually the same for both devices we'll probably get a 1.5 firmware update before the Magic is released or soon after. Personally, I think it'll be released before just so all the G1 owners can test the new release before they push out a new device.
[General Topics] Binary100100:
I kinda like having a physical keyboard. Although an onscreen keyboard would be a welcome addition I like having something with texture. But with a phone without a keyboard your pretty much stuck with the onscreen keyboard. Even with ChompSMS I find it difficult at times to type with the onscreen keyboard and I have small fingers. It would be very difficult for someone with larger fingers then mine. In my opinion I'll stick with my G1.
[General Topics] adaa:
few things to clarify:

# can we have a proper cupcake version (one on magic)??

# can we use that battery on our G1??

Hello I'm planning to buy the new htc touch pro2 when it comes out so my question is..I live in the U.S and I would like to buy the european touch pro2 so i was just wondering if i can use it with one of these networks verizon wireless/at&t/t-mobile/cingular or does it have to be a network from europe?

Thanks I appreciate it
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Hi

You can use it with some networks (Not CMDA) and you´ll loose 3G pretty sure (Unless htc develops an american version)

However I´m using my Uni in Mexico since 2005 and works well on my carrier (www.telcel.com) and I can´t connect to 3G, but personally not care as long as I have WIFI or WIMAX wich I do.

Good day,
[Off-topic] Inmortal:
Thank you for your answer...i know people with a htc tytn II (european version) and they are using at&t but the 3g doesnt work...I'm sure at&t and t-mobile will work but not verizon am I right? Thanks!
[Off-topic] DanQ:
For usa: 1900/2100=3g - 1800/1900=no 3g

Yes sir, you are right. Verizon, Sprint and others use CDMA technology, wich is different from AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. that use GSM. If you don't know how to tell the diff, it's pretty simple....SIM card=GSM, NON SIM card=CDMA.

Also the US network uses UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz), while the European network works on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.

So, if you buy the touch pro2 you won't get 3G in USA, unless AT&T come out with......let's say something like "FUZE 2" or I read somewhere that the name was revealed already (but don't remember).

Hi all,

I need to find a way to automate my daily backup strategy as follows: We alwaysd perform a dual backup, keeping one of the copies in the adjacent building. This is becoming laborious every day so i wanted to find a way to achieve this by deploying some sort of tape library at the remote location.

However, the solution needs to be cheap, yet it will only be backing up a few megs from a single server, nothing too large. It'll be a small backup perfromed once daily, hence the need for a small, cheap solution.

thanks

Sorry if wrong box.
[Networking] MrRalphMan:
Would it not be better to have another server in the remote location and do disk to disk backup to it?

If they really are that small then maybe even a work station would do.

Then maybe a cheap DAT drive in it to back daily backups.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] frnorke:
I recently installed (and then uninstalled Resco MediaSuite) on my Imate Jamin. Now, earphone has static. I've figured out that actually the microphone is comes on when I answer a call. The microphone is picking up a bunch of the surrounding environment noise. That's interfering with the sound of voice calls coming through my earphone. Imagine something like blowing into a microphone.

I figured this out because if I put the phone on mute while I'm on a voice call, I can hear the call fine (as I could before I installed the Resco MediaSuite).

Can anyone help me figure out this one? I figure it's some sort of registry setting that got messed up.

Here's my config:

IPL 1.00

SPL 2.G3.4 PDA

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
^Xumit: Remove the file option.xml from your packages. You wont see them listed in the build os then, but the packages will compile fine. This file is responsible for that description appearing in buildos and by defualt it has option set to not compile the package, for some strange reasons. So if you dont want to show the package in buildos gui, which is of not much use, just delete this file. Otherwise, change the option inside it to include the package.

Using total commander go to windows directory then HomeBackground.img try that see if you have that file. If you do copy it and save it on your computer than access it because i cant access it from the phone. Here is what i did copied the file from the windows directory into my memory card using the phone then accessed the memory card from my computer renamed the file to .jpg because my computer could not open .img and it worked.

Hi,

When I type fast on the Samsung Epix (i907) keyboard, then often letters are missing, even though I did get the feedback from the keyboard that the keys were pressed. For example, when I try to enter "this is a test with the new keyboard" it just came out as "this is ates wit the newkeyboard".

I am typing at the same speed on other mobile devices (e.g. Blackberry) and it works fine there.

Here is what I have tried so far:

1) Turned off Word Completion and Auto Correct under "Settings/Input/Word Completion". Some posts suggested that solves the issue on some other Windows Mobile devices, but it did not do anything on the Epix.

2) Changed sensitivity on the Up/Down Control under "Settings/Buttons". Same result: no change.

3) Performed a hard reset and tried it again with only the blank OS (plus all the goodies AT+T added...). Still same result.

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks much!
