Hi Billy! :D

In reverse order of your questions:

I LOVE ...

1. The quality of the phone - phone calls are better sounding than on any phone I've had during the last ten years or so. It brings in a solid 3-bars in my home area whereas my brother's T-Mobile phone barely works here. The cell radio is excellent!

2. Open Source Linux - what more can I say other than this is the best gosh-darn handheld Linux computer around. I like being able to work on the phone through a telnet or adb session from my main computer.

3. Google - This is the best smartphone if you are a Google-phile, and like to keep your emails, appointments, tasks, and other PDA functionality AUTOMATICALLY synchronized between the smartphone and the Internet.

4. My Innocell 2600 mAh battery - It cures the poor battery problem, plain and simple.

I HATE ...

1. The Camera - WAY TOO slow to be useful. This is one area that is in great need of being fixed.

That's it! Enjoy your new phone as it will only get better with time! :)
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Its more complicated than just flashing but more than doable and worth it! You will not lose your myfaves unless you go to adp rom. Stick to the rc roms and you will not lose myfaves. As far as apps go follow this thread for some ideas. Also look around the dream section, all your questions and curiousities are well covered here lol. I love g1 best phone I've ever had.

Directed at Datrue:

Is there any word on HTC coming out with a different battery that isnt the "extended" one

?
[G1 General] JanetPanic:
Rooting the phone will give you additional options that you can not do with a stock phone. Wireless tethering, adjusting the browser for auto-rotate, and multi touch are some examples.

As long as you stick to the t-mobile ROMS (i.e. not the developer ones) then yes.

For me I prefer the faster 8gb card.

I do not know. I have ordered a couple and plan to try them out but do not have a screen guard yet.

This would depend on your use style.

- ChompSMS is good,

- Wifi tether for root users (from the XDA-Developers forums)

- I like StarDialer because I am very used to dialing by name on my Windows Mobile Devices.

- gmote is great for being a couch potato

- The weather channel app.

Dislikes:

- Battery life. It is simply not good.

- The touch interface is taking getting used to. i am used to the styles and precision of a stylus enabled interface. The touch screen of the G1 (and iPhone) feels imprecise to me. The worst frustration for me is my inability to click on links in the browser without zooming in first. i am getting used to it though.

- The GPS and Google Maps combo does not compare to TomTom on my Artemis.

Likes:

- 3G wireless. This is my first phone with it and I like the speed a lot.

- Wireless tethering. Very cool and painless way to tether.

- Google Market. Has all sorts of neat stuff, much of which are free.

- overall UI. It is responsive, intuitive, and quite pleasant to use. I much prefer it to Windows mobile though I do miss some of the apps I have gotten used to over the years.
[G1 General] Datruesurfer:
Not sure what you are asking here... The HTC battery that comes with the dream is 1150mah and is included with the device. The extended battery which is not made by by HTC is 2600mah, almost double the capacity of what HTC offers. If you care more about battery life then style, go for the extended battery.

Total and utter nightmare, appauling delivery and contact, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. They trade on ebay and are absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, the most unreliable, untrustworthy shower of sh#t.........you have been warned.:(
[Touch HD General] constablechris:
If this is the same E-Cell that sell car holders, 12v chargers and the like for phones, I bought one from them in the UK. Super fast delivery and good contact. The mount broke, and they replied the same day with an RMA number although it's not really worth doing that given it was so cheap to begin with. Superglue here I come :)
[Touch HD General] xX SPION KOP Xx:
Funnily enough, I'd had items like that from them before, itouch cases etc, it seems to be with the bigger items that things start to go wrong, phones etc. This will be the second phone I have ordered from them in three months(for other poeple) and both times the item has been 'lost in the post'! :mad::mad:
[Touch HD General] pLUSpISTOL:
The Kop is right; I also attempted to order from E-Cell and I never got my Touch HD.

Luckily I managed to get a refund, but the course of that took 2 MONTHS! Looks like many people can't even get refunds.

Should have checked out their customer feedback before I paid, it's atrocious. They only deliver on stupid silicon cases for ipods and such. lol.
[Touch HD General] Kimosabesun:
I bought my THD from E cell, it took 1 month to receive

DUE TO THE POST OFFICE - NOT THE SELLER

,

why people can't understand that the seller sends the item and if it is lost in transport it isn't his fault

(perhaps the postman would like to have what is in this big heavy box and state it is missing :mad: -happened to a 8gb iphone a year ago from usa)?

And the refund is slow due to Ebay process.

Anyway, Ecell had great communication and initiated a refund process when i requested it,

but at the 2nd day after that i received my Blackstone (@#$%$#@ Greek post employee strike - lazy bastar_s) :mad:

Too long to go into here, but if anyone wants my own sorry tale of dealing with them (on more than one occasion), please feel free to get in touch, pm me and I will contact you. I have every email they have sent me (14 of them).

Avoid this company like the plague. All dearer items are not despatched. What has happened on ebay to three strikes and you're out.

does anyone have any idea on how to change the MSL on a sprint phone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chocobozero:
My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.

Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.

When connect to PC, nothing happened.

If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.

No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.

RUU can't found the phone.

I did some research, but got confused.

Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.

So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.

Thanks all for the help!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] cardriver:
try to update via SD card

search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD

sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first

good luck
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?

Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...

If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheChampJT:
To enter bootloader:

Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chocobozero:
Thank you!!

bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.

Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.

Anyway, thank you all for the help!!

You guys are good!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] donchugs:
i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slow88lx:
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.

But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".

For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] darthpride:
Hi everybody,

im afraid i have killed my german XDA III from o2 (HTC BlueAngel).

I just tried to instal WiMo6.5 on it...but i think it was a mistake, cause it has never seen any update since 2005.

Now im stucked at the 4color screen. It just shows me R 1.10.00. Nothin more...and i could get into the Bootloader by pressing Windows Media + Record.

I already tried to update the Radio to 1.15.00...but it always says the new radio-version isn designed for my XDA III.

So i would try to bring a runnin win2003 back on the XDA III, but i could find any working version of win2003 :-( found a dutch one, but it didnt work...country error...

So i need some help with this...i just dont want to throw it into the garbage :-(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] darthpride:
ok, just tried it with the latest version from o2...got a model id error...damn it...

edit:

ok, got the latest version of the o2 ROM...but still noch way to update the Radio to 1.15.00...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] beakybal4:
ok, sounds like a bad flash, if you can get into bootloader all is not lost, just flash another WinMo onto it, Helmi wm6 is a good one, thats the one i have got.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
ok

first after WM5/6/6.1/6.5 upgrade you must perform hard reset like is described here

a lot of shipped roms can be found in my signature - i also have original GER XDAIII roms

for radio and rom upgrade you can use MAUpgradeUT_NOID - also in the page in my signature

SimpleOSv3 (screenshot from v2.1)

SimpleOS XtraLite

SimpleOS Naked

SimpleOS Manila Edition

First off I want to thank parleyp for helping out a lot with the original version of the ROM and helping me along with cooking, since I was clueless :p and my beta testers: lufc, jax_boater, henryto1212, macyek, msd24200, and pastorphil. Also thanks to -888- for the slpash.nb.

My goal in making this ROM was to combine functionality with simplicity hence the name "SimpleOS" ;)

The build number is 19212.1.0.3. (HTC 3.29.422.1)

This is a group of CABs I recommend for use on this ROM

MediaFire

A description of them:

FileExplorerExtension - Adds on additional functions to file explorer

FingerMenu - Makes menus more finger friendly

Opera - Opera Mobile Browser

HTC Home Sprint Today Screen Plug-in - Just more shortcuts on the today screen

HTC Action Screen - Install before installing the Home Sprint Today Plug-In

This ROM does not have a radio cooked in. It is in a separate ZIP inside the RAR. The radio is 1.70.18.02.

If you wish you may try others but they may not work.

I have an AZERTY keyboard, how can I do to use it in place of the qwerty set in the ROM ?

Many thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kaiserII101:
Are you french? And are you speaking about the hardware keyboard? If that is the case I made a CAB (its attached) that should set the registry values to an AZERTY keyboard instead of a QWERTY keyboard. If the CAB doesn't work then uninstall it, soft-reset and edit the registry manually. Below is the string that needs to be edited:

- HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD

CurLang = 1036
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kaiserII101:
