WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!! Magnets bad for G1

Beware: belt clips with magnets i just got one today

after keeping it in the pouch for a few hours i tried the street view

i couldn't turn in the view, up down worked

after i reset it started to work again

This could be a isolated incident i will post more tomorrow.

Update: 10/23/08

The magnet in the pouch messes with the compass

restart didn't fix it

after a while outside the case (about 5 min) the compass started to work for a while

(30 mins out ) right now my compass is not working like it did before the magnetic case.

it spins but it is more jerky and has dead zones

the next case i am getting will not have a magnet in it.

i recommend the same for everyone else

I will update this post if my compass returns to normal

The pouch look like the picture below (this is not the one i have)

I have noticed on my 4th charge now that the battery seems to be lasting a bit longer.

One other note, I made a shortcut using anycut, and it shows all kinds of great battery info. Battery health, time since boot, battery temp, awake time on battery and more.

anycut>activity>battery info
[G1 Accessories] neoobs:
my battery can last all day if I don't use GPS or Wifi. No biggy GPS is only gonna be used in the car when I can't find my way around. And wifi is usually only at my house. I am glad I picked up the Motorola Charger for this.

I let my battery die, and its been charging for 5 hours, and its barely on 66%

looks like its helping alot

gonna leave it charging overnight to see what happens
[G1 Accessories] jkiller122:
Well I don't know if this is true or not but when i brought mines from the tmobile store the lady told me that they come with the battery pre charged so u can use it straight out the box, but i have a feeling they gonna do the same thing they did with the wings battery and that's send a new one in the mail because of the overheating problem which this one has too.
[G1 Accessories] Yos025:
I read a couple of reviews about this item, it says battery for G-1 but it is for all kind of phones. ( http://www.onlyg1.com/nan3ba.html ) I just bought it... Do your research,
[G1 Accessories] syrusfrost:
THIS!!! Wow I must say, there must be an outstanding software issue because this did the same for me.
[G1 Accessories] HayWireG1:
I have this battery i got it on ebay for 26 bucks.. yes it does make the phone bulkier but i actually like that i thought the g1 was too much like a toy before now it feels real and i can make it through a day of work without having to charge it and thats even use web and other apps throughout the day :-D

Ill sacrifice size over longevitiy any day of the week, but thats just me
[G1 Accessories] roguestatuskat:
are we or arnt we

are we or arnt we getting that new battery more potent from Tmobile

or are we stuck having to carry around a 2nd battery

and getting fat battery just isnt an option for me
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:
of course we're not.

they might bring out a better battery, that will probably cost a stupid amount, in a few months or so but we're not going to get a replacement free of charge.

This is T-Mobile we're talking out here :P

How many more threads do we need about this?
[G1 Accessories] jcostantino:
come to think of it, the thicker case might help out with reception when holding it landscape. as soon as i touch the top of the case where the antenna is, i can lose up to 50% signal. the air gap might be beneficial.

what is the empty space like inside the phone? are you getting any pocket lint or crud inside the back of the phone with the case now?

[G1 Accessories] c-tang:
I bought it then returned it back to t-mobile.

Kick stand = Nice

but was really thick and grip was so bad couldnt put it in pocket.

Clip was super cheap and did not like at all
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
I have the body glove one and I love it. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Pros:

- I love that it makes the phone bulkier. I'm probably alone on this, but I don't like thin phones. I have big hands

- Very grippy. I love the texture. It's like a golf glove that was made of rubber.

- Seems very rotective.

- Fits really well. Snaps on very snug and seems well made. Many of the cheap snap-on cases fit loose in some areas or just seem very cheap.

Con:

- This is minor, but it really bugs me that the BodyGlove logo is in untextured plastic and sits out above the rest of the case. This bugs me because when the phone is on a table on it's back, the top half grips tight but the botton slides on the logo. Kind of an annoying detail.

THINGS I DONT USE:

- I took the belt clip off since i never used the kickstand and the beltclip made the whole kit-kaboodle like 3 feet thick. My hands aren't THAT big. :)
[G1 Accessories] tubaking182:
i am having a similar problem to the OP.

i set the card partitions in half for running apps on the SD card, but decided that i wanted to undo it to put several files on my sd card to test a script and another app, now i have 1.1 GB in fat 32 that works fine through the phone to the comp and yet the phone says it is unreadable, and the rest is ext 2 and that psrt is not readable in the phone or the computer. i undid everything properly in the running apps on the SD card thread. but now the phone will not boot with any card other than my 2GB, and it won't read ANY sd card although all cards i put in the phone can be read on the computer side. i do not have a microSD card reader other than the stupid adapter cards than make it a regular SD card. and my other phone will not read the card either. i have no idea what is going on, but i would like to set the phone back to original in warranty settings. thanks in advance for your help
[G1 Accessories] bestwebs:
Hi,

You don't have your phone connected to the computer when you are trying to read it, do you?

:)
[G1 Accessories] tubaking182:
i believe you meant that for me, and no, i know what i am doing and i never post till i have tried replicating on my second phone. i did finally get the phone up and running and reading the sdcard but i didn't like what i had to do to get to that point.

for future reference if anyone else comes to this problem and can find no other way to fix it i had to do the following

plug phone into computer and type

adb shell remount

adb shell wipe all

at this point the phone crashed hardcore and so i had to reboot

adb shell reboot

the phone would not start and so i went into recovery and let it sit there while i did the following on my other phone:

put hard SPL and JF1.42 on SD card on the other phone, take the card out of the second phone and place it into the first phone

go into the terminal by pressing Alt+x on the first phone and then pressing enter. after that i typed:

mount sdcard

for some reason it actually mounted that time and so i made sure by

ls /sdcard

it displayed my stuff so i typed reboot recovery and flashed HardSPL to the phone and let it reboot, when it got to recovery i tried to reboot by pressing home+back and it stuck at the splash screen (default is G1 screen but i have a custom boot image), so i rebooted again into recovery, went to the terminal and renamed my hardspl update.zip to hard.zip and also renamed my JF1.42 to update.zip

went back into recovery one last time and flashed jf1.42 to my phone, from there i was able to boot and even fix the "corrupt" sdcard when the phone got up and running.

please remember students, always create a nandroid backup before you are a dumba$$ like me

[G1 Accessories] sino8r:
Does anyone know if it comes with a plastic clip? If so, this looks like the best case around.
[G1 Accessories] inkdemon:
THe case is pretty decent. I bought mine off of a seller on ebay for 19.99 I believe and got it in 2 days with free shipping. THe rubber gives great grip and protects the phone just fine! THe kickstand is part of the belt clip so its not even noticeable unless you know what to look for. All in all its a good inverstment to protect the phone. And if you dont want to use the clip part they supply a rubber button to fill the hole.

2600mAh battery for HTC Dream (HTC G1)

Innocell 2600 Extended Life Battery

I've been using this battery for two weeks now and am happy to report that it is GREAT!

After initially receiving the battery I charged it to full capacity. (As everyone should.)

The first day I stress tested it from 11:00 AM until around 9:00 PM - all radios on, music playing in my earphones, emails, web browsing, only an occasional break of very short duration, and it didn't even turn the "Orange" battery indicator on until the next morning! Side note - my hand was sore from holding it almost all of that time! I had to quit the stress test because I wore out before the battery did. :D

On subsequent days I went back to normal usage and now need to charge it once every three or four days. Amazing - this is THE CURE for the G1 battery problem.

It does make the cellphone fatter -- which to me is a plus. I just don't understand why people want thin cellphones anyway, as the fatter ones are easier to hold IMHO. Oh well, to each his own!

[G1 Accessories] JackD3ath:
That looks good and doesnt seem to make the phone that much thicker.

Nice Leatherman, but I prefer Gerber. Sharpest pocket knives in the world. lol

Thanx for the great comparison pics.
[G1 Accessories] JackD3ath:
I just checked the link and it shows a case with a magnetic retainer. If so, I would stop using it if I were you, it is very bad for the accelerometers inside the phone. There are a couple threads around here about it, but i heard a bunch of complaints on another site, of people complaining that their compass didnt work properly, and it was traced to the magnet in the case. I could be wrong, but I wouldnt take the chance.

I am using a cheap shell I got at a kiosk vender in the mall. I had the Tmobile Hard Shell, but I didnt like the slide on bottom piece. Mine snaps together, and is really nice considering I got two for ten bucks.
[G1 Accessories] Bill Zimmerly:
You're welcome JackD3ath.

My son likes Gerbers too, and he agrees with your observation about them. ;)
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:
why would you want one that big? it would be huge. the 2200 one is big enough.

Quick Question: Which battery deal is better?

Hey guys, I've decided on getting an extended battery, but I don't know which of these two to get.

This one is a 2300mAh battery but it comes with the weird looking (in my opinion form just seeing pictures) rectangle bulge in the battery cover. The good thing, though is that this one is only $12.20 which is the cheapest that I have ever seen one that is this powerful.

This one on the other hand, is a 2400mAh battery and it comes with the Mugen-style battery cover that's completely raised (except for the camera part which makes it a little awkward looking, too). The downside with this one is that it is $29.99...

If you have a link to one that's better than both, please do post it!

Also, as far as I can see in the pictures, neither one has a protective covering between the hole for the camera lens and the lens itself. Is there anything I could do about this?
[G1 Accessories] 2trieu:
1600 mAh battery

Has any one use this battery. it is 1600 mAh and it is the same size as the original battery so you don't need to replace the back cover. It is $34.95

[G1 Accessories] AsaSpades:
I want to try th@ 1
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Well, i was looking for something more powerful or less expensive... The thing is, I don't want to blow 35 bucks on a 1600 mAh battery (even though it fits in the same cover) when I can get a 2300mAh for 13 bucks.

Also, it's gotten some bad reviews, too. Apparently, they were advertising it as "In Stock" so that people would buy it even though it was backordered by a lot. Also, it apparently takes forever to charge. Take a look here.
[G1 Accessories] Bill Zimmerly:
I think the guy on the Fommy site might have made a serious mistake. You shouldn't discharge a lithium-ion battery such that the voltage gets below 2.4 to 3 volts. See THIS...
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
lol, whatever though. I'm not going to buy the fommy.com one anyways...

Can anyone answer my original post though? Which battery should I get?
[G1 Accessories] mnn2k:
second option

just aesthetically get the second one, the first one is fugly as f*ck. if you get the second one you can still buy one of those invisible shields. that's just me though
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, but will the invisible shield still fit properly enough for it to be worth buying? Also, are there any better deals on the style where the whole thing is raised instead of just a hump?
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:
hehe, fair enough, the 2600 one isn't too bad ;)

but i mean, anything bigger (say 2800 - 3000) you're not gonna be looking at bulk, more like artificial obesity! :P

untill someone develops some smaller batteries, it may be best to stick to 2200 - 2600.

my 2200 one can easily last 3 days, so it works great for me (although i do charge it everynight :D)

[G1 Accessories] rickymello:
i have also bought the body glove and love it. i am pretty clumsy with....well everything . :( i have unfortunately dropped my g1 a few times but it is still in perfect condition (minus the loose screen). i use my belt clip most of the time and it does ten to get stuck on things so i wear it more towards the front. as for the kick stand, i manly use it at night because i use my phones alarm to wake me and when it goes off all i have to do is look up and touch the snooze button:rolleyes:
[G1 Accessories] funbacon:
If you don't use wi-fi, how long's waiting and calling time? I think 2200mah is best. I not thick as others. I know it thicker than OEM back cover 2mm only. But 2600 and 2400 thicker than OEM back cover about 5mm.
[G1 Accessories] Gimpeh:
I use the back cover that has only the battery portion extended. It works quite well for me.
[G1 Accessories] sino8r:
That's a shame that T-Mobile doesn't offer an extended battery themselves (yeah, like it would be affordable :)) considering all the battery issues this phone has had.

It does look very appealing! Most extended batteries aren't double the standard capacity but this one is (standard is 1150mah)! This would come in very handy since I use Streamfurious all day and my 2 battery routine is getting old. Really sucks having to charge two batteries all night and popping out my sim card into my old HTC Wizard (good phone, no 3G though). If I had a battery only charger, it might be okay but this super ext. battery sounds like the better idea. One question though... who has one and how long does it last with HEAVY usage? Need someone who talks all day on it, streams music, or browses the internet to give an opinion. Thanks for any input!

reliable online company for cases...

so i decided to buy a couple of different snap-on cases from onlyG1.com almost 2 weeks ago. still haven't received them so i decided to do some Google-ing and found they tend to not answer calls and not send products, same excuse from every report i read, "...on back order, will be sent out next week." so i decided to give them a call to see what was up, guess what i was told, yep.

so know, i'm currently on them to refund my charges, i've reported it to my bank and if nothing else, they have a policy that will refund, but now that i've been molested, i'm kinda gunshy. so can anyone give me a reputable site where i can purchase some. i would love to just be able to walk into the local (insert major electronics-for-less store name here), but i just don't see that as a possibility for my problem.

any help would be appreciated.

oh, and friends don't let friends order onlyG1.com crap!!
[G1 Accessories] BlueBoar:
I too used Onlyg1.com and couldn't believe the crap service. I got my case but a week late. The worst part was I paid for 2-day air and it was sent priority mail, when I checked the invoice it was clearly marked 2-day air.

Sorry I don't really have an answer for you, as I have not bought another case. Guess I just wanted to vent.
[G1 Accessories] X3R0B4R5:
vent away!!!

even if i don't get a response, maybe this would be a good thread to address the bogus sites and offers, i wish i had named it that, because if we can get people to give out who did them wrong, we may be able to at least stop a few people from getting screwed and take a couple dollars out of their pockets!

even if it's a kiosk, eventually i'll find a cover, that's a given, but these dicks... next time just come up kick me in the nuts and take $30, at least then i'll see they put some effort into it.:mad:

G1 battery worse than a AA?

ok, i don't know much on the subject of batteries and how they work etc., but anyway.

i bought some re-chargable AA batteries the other day for my camera and noticed that they were 1500 mAh and i thought, is one of these seriously more powerful than the G1 battery? i did a bit of searching and found you can buy 2000mAh AAA batteries, and they're tiny.

so i guess my question is: is one AA or AAA more powerful than a G1 battery? and if so, what the ****? :confused:
[G1 Accessories] testing567:
Your not taking into account the fact that the G1 battery is 5v and the AA is only 1.5v, significantly less powerful.
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Well, I don't want to cut up a skin... It still leaves the sides of the hump uncovered, right?

Also, would a regular skin fit the 2400mAh battery without the hump? And lastly, can anyone find a better deal than 30 bucks on a hump-less 2400mAh battery than the one that I posted? I've searched and haven't found one...
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:

[G1 Accessories] djvw:
The G1 battery is 3.7V, like every other LiIon battery.
[G1 Accessories] xFOCUSEDx:
ok the ? is

where can we all get a longer lasting G1 battery :D:D:D:D:D
[G1 Accessories] Linuxslate:
djvw is correct.

a AA or AAA rechargeable is 1.2 volts.

Power = Volts * current (Easy to remember if you use the old terminology of E (electromotive force) for Voltage, and I for current: P=IE, - think of pie)

2000 mA/h AAA (Btw - good luck with that -- LOTS of people are selling batteries that are not really up to their ratings.), but, giving them the benefit of the doubt:

2000 mA/h * 1.2V = 2400 mW/h

G1 battery: 1150 mA/h * 3.7 V = 4255 mW/h

Now, we could strap 3 AAA's together, and run the G1, but that that would still only give me 2000 mA (although it would be 7200 mW/h), but it would be much larger than even a 2400 mA/h G1 battery (8880 mW/h). It would also have to be charged externally, not charge as quickly, and not tolerate as many charge/discharge cycles as a L-ion battery.

Short version: Unless you get into some really exotic battery technology, you currently can't beat L-ion.
