On the G1 you get no flash so how can you add or convert or accessories for getting flash?
[G1 Accessories] Widz:
use a torch.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
mod your phone so that it will fit an led> solder the led connections to the power source of the g1> rewrite camera code to whenevr u push the camera button the light will come on.

IDK if this is possible but i am sure it is o.O

[G1 Accessories] cchap07:
LOL this made my day, love the "very intense research part". But back to the point it is definitely possible but do you want to go trough the hassle of doing it?
[G1 Accessories] kusotare:
Interestingly enough, I looked into that. The "rear flash pack" the guy is talking about doesnt exist. The static image at the beginning of the phone with the back off is PHOTOSHOPPED to show an LCD on there. Yay, he touched an app on the screen that "turned on the lcd"! I could disassemble an lcd flashlight and tape the contact point, battery and lcd to the back of my phone and duplicate this video. I could even put an icon on my desktop to press too, just to make it look nifty! Notice how nowhere in the video does he show the back of the phone ON video in good light.

Oh, and very interesting that people have been asking the guy for the link for his "rear flash pack" for almost a year and hes given 0 responses.

Theres no proof of concept there. You know how ridiculous a mod like that would be? Not only would you have to have the knowledge of the circuitboards to solder the lcd leads on, but you would also have to know android well enough to know how to activate those specific contact points. Hell, we cant even figure out how to crack the rogers coding yet, what makes you think that someone out there figured all this out?

EDIT: Heres proof:

This is the "picture" from said video.

Increase the image to biggest size and notice the following:

-The LCD holes arent round.

-The LCD holes are PIXELATED

-The LCD holes are drilled right through a flimsy metal clip under the battery door. Look at it on YOUR phone and tell me how thats possible without the clip breaking into pieces and falling off.

-the rim of the LCD holes has obviously had the burn tool in photoshop applied to it (notice how its darker around the edges than any other part of the phone.

Oh, and the coup de grace: THE PICTURE IS AN UNBOXING PHOTO FROM THE PHONE'S RELEASE LAST SEPTEMBER. You can see the G1 box and all of the box contents on the floor right under the phone!
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Well.. that brings us back to square one, ill bust out my nikon as soon as I get my phone up and running again, ran into some minor (i mean major) technical difficulties.
[G1 Accessories] blazzr:
I think the "flimsy metal clip" is the G1's phone antenna, lol :D NOT something you'd want to damage :)

Hmm... a stick on led flashlight or a blinking led flashlight decisions decisions.:D
[G1 Accessories] brummiesteven:
I know that this thread has been taken as a joke but I have a kinda "half way" solution. I don't know weather this would work or not though, and I don't have any links to any products to make it work :P Read on and you'll get it...

I remember I had an OLD Sony Ericsson years ago, the T310. The phone never came with a camera built in although it came with this:

http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=102621&partner=froogle

An external camera "Module".

Ok so where am I going with this?

All we need to find/create is a bright LED flashlight that's powered by MiniUSB, stick it in the bottom of the G1 when outdoors at night and bob's your uncle. OK So it would be no Xenon flash and would be on from the moment you plug it in. but it would be better than nothing. Eventually we could try and code into the camera app, something which disables the MiniUSB port on the phone when in the camera app but enables it when the photo is being taken producing essentially a flash.
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Hmm.. that makes sense.. do we have any schematics on which contact points are power points on the MicroUSB out, if there are any? I believe the standard USB port can out 5V max, correct me if I am wrong.. but I don't know if the G1's can do the same. I have an extra MicroUSB cable that I would be alright with tearing apart and making for starters using a small lightbulb to test the concept.
[G1 Accessories] benmyers2941:
5V max is the USB standard. There are pinout schematics on the Wiki, but I don't know if there is any possibility to have the power output. I think that would require USB host mode with I don't believe the G1 supports.

If you wanted to give it a shot, this site looks like they have some raw connectors available.
[G1 Accessories] ssbeejay:
I would like to help out with this too. I have a few thoughts and concerns though. I have not done my full research yet throughout the site but unless we can source power out of the Dream, like using the phone as a USB host I am not sure this will work. Has anyone been successful with using the phone as a host?

I believe, the 5V shown on the schematic is for USB detection (connecting to a PC) and for charging the battery. Unless there is some kind of charge pump or other voltage booster, we will never get over battery voltage out of the connector. This is technically not a problem, if we can source current from the battery out of the connector. The voltage will just be limited to to the battery voltage. We can pick approprietely sized LED's and it could still work.

If we cannot source current from the battery out through the connector, the other option is using a thin coin battery to power the LED's and have some kind of signal out of the connector to trigger the LEDs through some additional circuitry.

In any case, I am willing to do some electrical design work, as well as printed circuit board layout. I will post later with some additional ideas I have. I have not done much research yet as to the electrical limits and capabilities of the input/output of the Dream so I am not sure what is totally feasible. Another great connector to use is at Sparkfun. This connector also includes a breakout board for easy soldering.

Cheers!

[G1 Accessories] brummiesteven:
Am excited to see what u guys come up with!!! :D
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I asked on another thread in this section earlier about MiniUSB ports, it appears it doesn't support a power out :/ However, another option would be to directly tap into the battery itself, which actually might even be simpler and we can attach a switch to the line to control it. The only concern would be getting it to actually look "good"
[G1 Accessories] brummiesteven:
Forgive me if I sound noobish, I have no idea about electronics only software lol but...

In theory...

How about something which is a light and a rechargeable battery pack all in one? In some sort of casing which is the same width and depth as the G1 and a Mini USB port to snap it onto the device (purely for convenience)
[G1 Accessories] ssbeejay:
Funny, you read my mind. I was just doing some searching on different li-ion/poly battery packs that we could pair up with some led's to make a bright white light. Two options that I was thinking about since the original battery cover leave no room inside for additional stuff:

1. Use an extended cover like the Mugen battery cover. Modify for LEDs and on/off switch. Inside, house the battery and whatever electronics we want.

2. House the electronics outside the phone and sandwich them between the phone and some kind of body glove.

A separate battery would be nice because it makes for a cleaner solution than hacking up the phone. And it is safer than soldering a wire to the battery or phone and having the potential to short the battery and damage something. Any other ideas?
[G1 Accessories] brummiesteven:
What I've got in my head is something shaped like this:

http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/98782.html

With a light... Obviously nothing "amateur" would look as good though.

Would love to hear what everyone else has to say on this though.
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I'm gonna work on a "proto-type"today. Here is what I intend to do today, as it is only a proof of concept. I have a small LED keychain that runs on two 1.5V button cell batteries. I don't have any extra LEDs or diodes to start fresh, so I will use the keychain. I will also use my extra G1 battery and wires and hook it up to the keychain, if it works, which I don't see why it wouldn't, ill try and get a switch in there.
[G1 Accessories] ssbeejay:
I don't see why this wouldn't work. Your LED might be slightly brighter depending on the circuitry of the flashlight. At my work, I have all of the components required to build a simple prototype. I can probably get to it tomorrow if you didn't want to hack up anything. I would include a switch as well. This would be a pretty simple circuit.

My thought would be to create a small add on board, to be placed inside an extending case. This would include the LED, battery (most likely 2 rechargeable coin batteries), and charge circuit. The batteries could be charged with USB connection. When I get home from work, I will draw up a schematic, and try to get the dimensions of an extended case to make a printed circuit board layout.

Let me know what you guys think.
[G1 Accessories] ssbeejay:
So we could create at simple circuit like the one attached. This circuit would allow for the LED to run off of a single coin battery or AA or AAA battery...or any other battery less than 5V. We could also add a simple recharge circuit if we wanted to recharge the batteries right in the circuit. On a single coin battery, i estimate about 3.5 hours of continuous lighting, or in a AA battery about 35 hours. The electronics are not the problem. The problem is how would you want to attach this to the phone? Modify a case, hang it on the outside in its own case? If someone could figure out how to mount a small circuit board to the phone in a clean fashion, I would be happy to make the circuit board. I just do not have the means to modify a case cleanly. Thoughts?
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Here is another idea to save the complications of modifying the case and building the circuit. What about something like this?

http://cheapandtiny.com/2006/08/04/sylvania-dot-it-led-light-for-595/

they have been around for a while. What I am looking for is something in that form factor but extremely small, maybe the size of a quarter and a few millimeters thick, enough to hold a small button cell battery and the LED with a switch. It can be mounted onto the G1 with velcro so it can easily be removed when it isn't needed.
[G1 Accessories] ssbeejay:
If you are just looking for a small add on, look at the devices in the links on page 2 of this thread. They should do what you want. I am sure there are many product already out there that you can just stick on to your phone...probably a lot cheaper than what we can make in onesy-twosey batches.
[G1 Accessories] BlackElvis79:
o_O

Great material...
[G1 Accessories] Ducter:
i know at the auto zone the are LED lights some for cars and so with only 1 LED on them. so if you really wanted it has sticky back (from what i can tell never bought it but id think thats the only way it would stay on.) that would probably be the easiest way to do it. but SolemnWishing idea might be a little better. lol
[G1 Accessories] :
Has anyone considered using the camera button itself to control the led? then just take power from the Dreams battery?
[G1 Accessories] rljetsetradio:
well if you use the case from the bigger battery cases you should have plenty of room.
[G1 Accessories] B-man007:
what about just having something you can plug into your extusb
[G1 Accessories] agentkalaw:
iphone 3GS with homemade LED flash

kinda crappy, but kudos to the guy for trying...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RzAusmA_go

and here's a better hack job:

http://andreasodegard.com/2009/08/diy-iphone-3gs-flashvideo-light/

so i guess the LED's that need to be used are "Cree Emitters" as they are much brighter and more diffuse eliminating focused light which are better for pictures
[G1 Accessories] saprano614:
ok so as for these they give a good start but the object is to have it flash when you take a pic. if you could find a was to use something like this one(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RzAusmA_go) that uses usb but find a way to plug it into the usb on the phone and then have a camera app to send out a signal to the light. i dont know anything about developement but some electrical. so the concept seems good. you could always use a snapon case like this(http://cgi.ebay.com/PIANO-BLACK-COV...ries?hash=item3ef4e12c3f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) and mod it for the light and power source. that way you arent messing up the phone its self.
[G1 Accessories] saprano614:
this a led i found on ebay it is really frickin small and bright this might come in handy for someone. http://cgi.ebay.com/2pc-T10-501-Whi...ries?hash=item5635635bf2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

or look on ebay for SMD High Power LED Bulbs. there are alot of them to choose from

edit: ok this ebay store(http://stores.shop.ebay.com/led-world2007__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ13495532) has a wide variety of bulbs that could work and they are small and use low power

[G1 Accessories] roadrunnerx7:
probably would have drained the battery even faster. but is the thing still there or no? it kinda looks like all you need to do is remove a little bit, and add the led and boom, built in flash lol. but i cant tell much pictures kinda suck lol
[G1 Accessories] agentkalaw:
It seems like HTC had two housings designed. If you look at pg. 21 you can see the housing with the flash on top and right underneath, is the housing that we have. They may look similar but the other housing has no flash and it seems like they changed where the camera is mounted slightly. You can see this because the gps antenna looks different.

On another note, pg. 26 shows the housing (the one designed with flash) with a small circuit board connected to it. You can also see that its different than our housing.

Hi

I am sure there is allready a answer to my question here on the forum but I was not able to find it.

I am using duttys WM 6.5 R6 and it really kicks a** :D the only thing i don't like is the people tab where only the marked favorite contact gets showed big on the screen.

With another ROM (I don't remember which one :( ) the people tab looked like the programm tab so wher it is possible to have 3 contacts in a row on 4 rows down. and its also possible to add a new favorite contact just clicking on a empty box

i'd appreciate any tip and advise

thx a lot

So, when i call someone that it's already engaged in a conversation, why i don't receive the message or the tone that tells me that ? it keeps ringing but with no alert what so ever so i can know that he is call waiting.

is it a way to have me alerted ?
[HTC Excalibur] treyxazn:
what exactly is your problem? When I receive a call while in conversation it beeps and shows the caller.
[HTC Excalibur] confuzzling:
yeah, but when you call somebody and he's in a conversation you don't know that because the phone does not tell you that the one who you are callng is engaged in conversation.
[HTC Excalibur] biomy:
i have same problem !!

when i call anyone who is already talking in a conversation the fone just give me normal ring tone !! ( it should gives me a message "other party is busy", and gives a diffrant waiting tone like other old phones ) so i know the one i calling is in a call and stop annoying him !!

.... am looking for loooooooooooong years to find a solution but till now didnt solve....

i wish someone who know any idea to share with us..

and i would be very thankful really!

thanks..

if it rings and rings then he is ignoring your call. Thats not a problem with your phone. When you dial a number and it rings your phone is doing exactly what its supposed to be doing.

First off I live in Sweden, im about to buy a HTC Magic and just today when I was in the store and played with it a little the seller in the store told me that I have to have buy a unlimited dataplan from my provider Tele2 becasue the phone always connects and sends/recievs data and I would get a real juicy bill at the end off the month...

If this is true, is there any way to turn off the services that all the time connect to the internet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ClintonH:
I'm on a 500MB data plan, didn't go any where near the limit. (like 65MB or something) You have to remember it will jump on WiFi whenever it can. So if you in a WiFi hotspot or at home (sure you have WiFi?) than it's not using your data plan. But yes you can shut off the "Enable always-on mobile networks" option if you want.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DJNeno:
Hmm ok... I have WIFI at home and at work so I guess it wond be much data cost but still I found a datapackage deal from my provider that costs about 8 euro and gives you 1 gb data, guess that should do it :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
Click on the computer you want to access and the URL https://secure.logmein.com/connect_axtest.asp comes up, logme in will hang displaying a white screen instead of asking for the user name and password, click on the address and replace axtest for mozilla so the address will be https://secure.logmein.com/connect_mozilla.asp and hit enter, in the next screen LogmeIn may ask if you want to install the plugin, just click Skip, and you are done.

Logmein uses the mozilla Java not ActiveX.

This means you can use the slider to zoom in and get a better resolved image to read those hard to see small fonts. If you play around with the LogMeIn zoom and the slider bar together you should be able to get the resolution you want
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazkeirle:
but the TP2 comes with a fully featured version of remote desktop?

I've used both and RD is definately the better performance wise, just wondering why you'd choose logmein over it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
Maybe it's my age, but one of the PCs I want to control has a 1920 x 1200 display and the text is really. really, small and difficult to read on the TP2. This option lets you zoom in. Also the font on RDP gets a bit screwed up betimes.

My version of the TP2 didn't have RDP, I got a CAB from this great forum to remedy that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] whtrbt7:
I agree with Tomo. RDP isn't always the best solution especially going cross-platform. I access several OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows interfaces using Logmein which also helps to solve the dynamic IP issues on some systems. While RDP is faster, it also leaves out a lot of control. The Opera browser workaround is ok but I still use the WM client since I get a better refresh and I can also adjust zoom properly with the WM Client.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
How do you manage the zoom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazkeirle:
fair enough. I actually also use logmein so am not an rdp fanboy.
