Yeah, im here and just finished the keynote. Theyre giving all of us an unlocked black Magic. Plus a 30 day sim card with unlimited 3g data and voice.

I cant wait to get mine and see what firmware is on it. More info on Androidandme.com
[G1 General] alapapa:
epic win

i knew i should have gone there instead of OSCON!!!
[G1 General] mer6:
That's ****ing awesome. Keep us updated.
[G1 General] KyleK29:
Gee, I wonder how many people could have survived layoffs if they didn't do that =)
[G1 General] theslam08:
Agreed!

But what is done is done...and damn that is freakin SWEET. Congrats to you lucky ba.st.ards (that got one) lol.
[G1 General] KyleK29:
Yeah. It's definitely awesome. No arguing that.

I just hate seeing companies lay off employees and then do stuff like this.

For kicks. Assuming they got them from HTC at $100 (each kit, card-service + phone) / ea, times 4,000 visitors = $400,000.
[G1 General] Minker17:
Now we just need to see what's loaded on it and if prudent, get it put up somewhere.
[G1 General] Gimpeh:
Not only that but I hope these units saturate the Ebay market a tad and perhaps I can get one decently price. Crossing my fingers.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
Ohhh... Adobe

Looks like Adobe will be attending the Developer Sandbox. They'll probably have a session on "How to delay releases" and use the 1.5 firmware as the perfect example.

On another note... I live only a half hour away from San Francisco (or The City as we like to call it). I wonder if they accept walk-ins. :p
[G1 General] oxeneers:
Go to http://www.androidandme.com/ for unboxing pictures! More info on the ROM included later!

Note: it has a custom bootscreen saying Google I/O 2009

And the model number is "GOOGLE ION"

???
[G1 General] alapapa:
oooh...cutom build!

exciting
[G1 General] Minker17:
Dump that ish!
[G1 General] alapapa:
dang, even the box art is stunning

i has a jealous
[G1 General] oxeneers:
Things to note:

- Does not include IM application as seen in T-Mobile builds.

- Model number: Google Ion

- Firmware version: 1.5

- Baseband version: 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

- Kernel version: 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf - android-build@apa27 #72

- Build number: CRB28

- Includes 2GB micro SD card.

- Battery is 1450maH

- Camera at first glance is obviously Google build, but probably 3.2MP, there is no marking on the back of the camera but a Google I/O 09 Developers Conference custom print (androidandme.com has unboxing photos)

Any questions?
[G1 General] Minker17:
So it seems like a standard build?
[G1 General] johnnylicious:
can you post screenshots of the firmware and maybe homescreen.

wonder if theres any difference.
[G1 General] mikedmeyer:
Who's the carrier on the 30 day pre-paid?
[G1 General] Minker17:
Engadget says T-Mo. So it looks like this is indeed (as if we didn't really know) coming to T-Mo.

I can't even like run the shell on it. Won't even let me ADB into it. Supposedly this is a "developer phone". But maybe I need to root it. Ahhhh the lovely fun of Android.

I'm at the conference right now so we'll see if we can get some progress made.
[G1 General] Red49er:
I was at the conference too, have you figured out how to root it? Seems like it shouldn't need flashing since its already unlocked, but I have no idea.
[General Questions and Answers] cambo2121:
i was thinking of telling sprint that i lost my phone so that i can get a new one to use for work but while still keeping mine to use as a toy.Would they be able to simply track my phone and get me for fraud?
[General Questions and Answers] mohamedtarmohamed:
Thats not a appropriate question on XDA as its illegal to do fraud! No they wont be able to track your phone!
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Why would they give you a new phone, just because you lost yours ?

Your sim card does however, register on the network when ever you connect (ismi # ) as does your imei #. So you would never be able to use either on a network again. Also if they even suspect fraud, they can charge your account the full amount of the phone , several hundreds of dollars, and suspend your service. And until you settle the bill with Sprint, you will be denied service on any other carrier, because the bill with Sprint will go on your credit report.

That is of course unless you spend several thousands of dollars in legal fees fighting a billion dollar company trying to prove that you didn't do something, that you , in fact, did do. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] mohamedtarmohamed:
ummm.. i presume he is under warranty; like me. in the UK if i lose my phone it gets replaced by the same model if it aint found within 12 hours and the stolen phone gets black listed but if you read carefully he mentioned 'as a toy'
[General Questions and Answers] LWBIIPLLC:
Please make sense.

While I respect the "interest" anyone might have to avoid costs, one should not do so "at any cost", particularly at the cost of one's integrity. I have a rule I created for just such a postulation "do not spend your life looking for short-cuts and later standing around complaining when life short-changes you." (Brooks II, Leonard W., The Art of Being ©2007) Notwithstanding this user's inquiry being wrong on all sorts of levels, including legal, it is sufficient that this user ask himself or herself whether this is the "right" thing to do. I think the "gut" won't lie in this case and properly guide his or her actions. Then, there's the old rule I teach my children: "Just because you 'can' do something, does not mean that you 'should'".

To those that weighed in on this question in a manner of response:

I strongly discourage the statement of legal conclusions or speculations regarding punishments as a matter of law. It is contradictory and sends mixed messages to all the users when such speculations are thrown about while also coupled with an answer to the querying user's question. (e.g. This is an inappropriate forum for your question on how to rob a bank because bank robbery is illegal and you could go to jail, p.s. rob an ATM instead because if you get caught you'll do less jail time).

In these forums, it is sufficient to state (preferably citing to an internal xda-developers rule), that "this question is not appropriate to the forum." Alternatively, if xda were to lack such an internal policy rule (I seem to recall it does not lack such a rule) one could simply state the same and re-direct the inquiring user to his or her wireless contract which also provides clear guidance on this point (and yes, I read them (line for line)).

Nevertheless, I also don't think it is good form to make them feel completely like a heel for having asked the question in the first instance. After all, whether it is technology, law, relationships, or our own life experience, most of us know "just enough to make us dangerous".

Hello fellow Diamond 2 lovers!

Is there a way of showing currency values in the stock tap? It would be interresting to see the graphic development of the Euro, US $ and Yen in comparison to each other.

Thanks for your time, and take care!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
I would like to know aswell :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vax6:
Hi,

Here you are:

EURUSD=X

USDEUR=X

EURJPY=X

JPYUSD=X

etc....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
Thats great! Thanks!

How can I set so that changes in stocks are shown always in percent (%)? As it is now I have to click the red or green box to make it show the chhange in percent. I want it to always show in percent.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vax6:
I don't know but unfortunately that part is not working. (always will be 0% or 0.00) Maybe cause it does not know what was the high and low amount. If you go into the "Stock Details" you will see the graph about the changes.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
You mean for the currency exchange rates?

For example Dow Jones shows correctly in percent (right now down 1.90%) but I always have to click the red or green box to see the actual change in percent.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vax6:
Yes, I thought for that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Studebaker72:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] samluke:
Cheers for the info, though does anyone else's currencies not show the numerical or percentage change?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eRJe:
Hi there,

Does anyone know how to change currency from EUR-$ to $-EUR?

Would like to have all currencies displayed in euro instead of dollar.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] omar302:
As mentioned by vax6,

USDEUR=X (this is $ to Eur)

EURUSD=X (this is Eur to $)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cauterio:
currencies will never show the change in % or in absolute value;

they are not exchanged in a defined market with open/close/high/low prices or opening hours (Fx is always active, worldwide, between counterparties).

So, a real "reference" price (to be compared with the "X" price) does not exist.

this is the reason why the right box is always green with "zero" value.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] TheOnlyDidi:
Great feature! Also works for Swiss currency :D

EURCHF=x
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] samluke:
Thanks for the explanation, though with that in mind, perhaps the feature should take the change as being from one update to the next.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cauterio:
you're welcome..

your idea is nice, it would need a development (as the data to fill the box is not available on yahoo finance, application should understand this, and calculate itself using the previous data)...

hi,

i,m using version haret 0.3.6 thats the only working version

i can now boot with 0.3.6 until he says he cant mount ram0.

can somebody can post a link for the newest version of the files?

so i can have linux on my phone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
First off, you should post in the thread about Linux on the Himalaya.

[Touch Cruise 2 General] Dair:
I've been searching for this feature a while ago and didn't find any free, working solution and even those payed ones seemed to be far from perfect. Today, I did the search again and realised that a very nice solution have shown up few months ago.

Seems to be working fine with Iolite (default ROM), even the version with "Record" option in call menu. Looks like it is also quite clean way as the main part is just a registry edit.

So, if you don't know it yet, here are links:

[*] 2 Side Voice Recording on Kaiser **WORKS**

Call recording: official list of supported models & ROM versions

Article that led me to the solution back on xda-dev ;) - thanks Google :)

Btw, there might be some legal (and ethical) issues with the call recording. E.g. in my country, recorded party has to be informed about this. Still, it can be very helpful when taking notes would be too slow or dagerous (when driving...).
[Touch Cruise 2 General] LFGM:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] N3m3515:
in win 7 is no active sync... you have to use mobile device center

hi

this works for me on windows 7 you can download it from here

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chribruu:
When you connect your diamond to win7, it will automatically download drivers and mobile device center . To get Outlook is your own responsibility. You probably have a 30 day trial version on one of the disks that followed your phone, but it will still sync after those 30 days.

EDIT: I have no clue wether the trial version works in win7 or not.

Ι downloaded the above. I didnt see nothning to change. I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center and it looks to work ok. I see diamond from the pc as a hard disc, and i can use it. I also have internet to diamond throw the pc. The phone is recognized by the pc as Touch Diamond P3700, and i have the icon of sync sender in taskbar. What I dont have? The one i am interested more.. My contacts to outlook to pc.. I have installed office 2003 to the pc , and i have outlook 2003. There , contacts are empty.

I dint see to Windows Mobile Device Center to have any option to transfer contacts from phone to outlook.. Any help ?

edit... Ok I just solve it. I went mobile device settings-change content sync settings. In contact there a press sync settings ,and there it writes synconize from Pc1 Pc2. Only one was "ticked" I tick and the other , and contacts went to my pc... Very complicated i think..

Hi, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit build 7100. Trying to get my phone to sync, have installed WMDC 6.1 64 bit version, plug my Diamond in and Windows Update fails on trying to install the driver, just get PocketPC USB Sync in Device Manager with a status of "This device cannot start (Code 10)."

Any ideas where I am going wrong on this? Had no issues on Vista 64bit getting it to work, have repeated all the same steps so am scratching my head somewhat.

Edit: Solved it, turns out it was my USB extension lead, tried plugging directly into the computer and it worked perfectly lol

I think I have researched all the treads on this pretty well now & I've tried all the above including rolling back to before I 1st allowed the WDM to install to no avail. I still can't get my Diamond talking to W7 WDM still talks to my old Vista Ult machine though.

Everything looks good the updater downloads drivers then the WDM then the installs happen the device gets found and it sort of knows its a HTC device plugged into a USB port but WDM and Sync Center both don't believe its there.

I've tried resetting the Diamond complete reboots of the computer, I've changed all settings in the PC to USB menu on the Diamond (another thread) and this only changes the Device from Generic Serial to Generic NDIS but still WDM won't connect.

So has anyone got any further suggestions I can't believe its this hard every one else has no probs what might I be doing wrong (I think the fact the device is a Generic Serial not a Diamond might be a hint but I can't prove it)

[G1 General] chefgon:
I was tossing around the idea of getting an HTC Magic when it comes out on T-Mobile just because it looks really slick, but now that I've finally got Android 1.5 installed on my G1 and I've had some good time to get used to the Virtual Keyboard I'm totally relieved that I don't have to rely on it.

I don't know how the iPhone people do it, I just can't imagine ever getting half as fast on a Virtual Keyboard as I am with the G1's physical keyboard. It's just cumbersome and difficult, and requires a level of concentration to type that I just don't have to use on real keys. It gets the job done, and the auto-complete suggestions are pretty intelligent, but it's just damn hard to use compared to the real keyboard. If it was all I had I would get fed up with it and just wait until I can use my laptop to compose a longer email.

I hope we continue to see a lot more phones with keyboards, because right now they seem to be the exception, and I'm afraid my upgrade options will be limited because so many of the big Android phones coming out are touchscreen-only.
[G1 General] cigar3tte:
Not to mention times when you want to type but you aren't in the OS environment (like recovery terminal).

[G1 General] the_alien:
The reason for me to buy the G1 and not to wait for the Magic was... I think you already know it: the physical keyboard.

A friend of mine owns an IPhone and I tried and tried and cant get used to the virtual keyboard.

I'm able to type nearly blind on the physical one... show me how you do that on the virtual one. :D
[G1 General] remixme:
I remember on my first touch screen phone (mda compact) actually having to explain to somebody that you touched the screen the dial. ;-) Often wonder how I survived on that phone, fortunately it had a good dial pad input with T9.

Yep, lets face it, if Apple did a iphone with a proper keyboard a lot of people would buy it in an instant, (heresy I know!)

I'm always surprised that nobody has attempted to copy/license the keyboard of the Psion 5mx.

Proper keyboards are for people who actually use their phones for communication longer than a txt message. But there is also a significant proportion of the market that just txt, thus hopefully there will always be two categories of phone.
[G1 General] nektoinphx:
I agree. I love having the newest, coolest, most awesome device on the market, but if it doesn't have a physical keyboard, it gets immediately dumped from possibility.
[G1 General] Abbens:
Same here. I hate the g1 keyboard but I need it and the on screen one as well.
[G1 General] navdroid:
totally. a physical keyboard is what makes this smartphone basically a laptop in my hands. i just hope that we get a hardware refresh with new chipsets and hopefully an internal ati gpu backend for media. "HTC DREAM 2 - the clunky old bastard is back with a fresh new look"

Nice to have a quick keyboard to type like a 4 letter txt or something

no matter how hard i try i cannot get this to type at my speed. tried 1.5 stock keyboard, chompsms', and betterkeyboard

BRING BACK CHOMP'S VIRTUAL KEYBOARD PRE CUPCAKE, that was the best

Physical Lose: i have a paranoia that if i slide it out enough, itll eventually break
[G1 General] dgrave:
I'd like an upgraded g1 with more ram and a faster processor, as long as the hardware keeps up to date i would own a g1 for life, obviously i'm in agreement with the physical keyboard.

I'm looking at the samsung with android but no physical keyboard only downfall...sooo...i'll have to wait for an upgraded g1....and i'm thinking about doing some sodering myself to see what i can accomplish....
