Thanks much for your donation! Updating from the Widget right now (on my mobile while on a bus.) I'll fix the relevant posts when I'm on a real computer.

Firstly, I've fixed the problem with the reply function- it was a sloppy little mistake that caused an infinite forwarding loop- it checked for QVGA, forwarded to the QVGA version, but didn't properly tell the server session the device was QVGA. This resulted in it checking again- and forwarding again. The actual code issue was that I re-used a block that contained a "?" when I should have used a "&".

Secondly, in response to the changes in newer builds: I'm mostly shying away from the changing features. I'll work on those parts when I know what WM's going to do with them.

Thirdly, testing updates on my own server right now. Should push to you guys probably Friday. If you're using Opera Mini/Mobile/Iris/Whatever instead of the widget itself, you'll be getting a UI more optimized for browsers soon. If you want the widget UI, you can visit http://www.xda-developers.mobi/widget/.

I suggest you use that for now- it displays a bit nicer on devices right now.

Update: Woah! Definitely needs php's stripslash and htmlentities(). Will put that in later.

When I try to install the widget I get an error saying "Error updating the Software Management Database." I also cannot uninstall the old widget. Is there a reason why I am getting this error?

i have seen many spb tweak... but if i am not wrong there isnt this one.....

i was influenced by htc hero's sense ui...

as we can add many slide's in lifestyle layout which originally comes with 3 and we normally add clock, weather and so on in the name of widget... what if we could add full screen of any bookmark page.. for example facebook, or any special bookmark page..

there is already sms option in a different page but i feel that isnot worthy in practical terms but if we get facebook or any opera bookmark page that would be great...

many thanks..

And I'm not sure I want to stay in the HTC family if they haven't released graphic driver software that can actually make their phones usable.

The phone I'm looking to upgrade to is the HTC Touch Pro 2. So I'm wondering, does anyone have this phone? If so, does it have the appropriate 2D and 3D drivers it should (10fps for video is f**king insanity)?

Finally, if not, what would be a good upgrade from the Kaiser (and don't say the Touch Pro, because it was also released without it's drivers)?

I am in the same boat - I can renew my contract at at&t and get a cheap new phone.

I really dislike HTC for the stunts they pulled with the Kaiser drivers.

I am actually eyeing the iphone. If they had it with a 1 year contract, I would jump on it in a sec (even if it was $100 more to buy).
[General Topics] vma:
The iphone is a fascinating device indeed. I would love to have one, specially one of the recent 3GS with 32GB memory.

It comes full with functionality, there is plenty of software for it and above all, it has a great user interface and design. It is great to use.

But, there is a major inconvinience: it costs a fortune!

I mean 600 Euro or more for an unlocked iphone, or the equivalent level for plans is very expensive.

Add to that the vulnerabily of the device (never ever drop it, scratch it and take care to not grease the glass all the time), it is a headache to own one.

HTC devices, on the other hand, have two appealing characteristics: they can be obtained cheap (because they do have a long lifetime, so they end up cheap on ebay for a good value price) and they can be hacked, modded and expanded at your hearts will.

Conclusion:

1) If you have the money.

2) If you prefer to USE the device instead of HACKING it.

Get yourself the iphone. You will be happy with it.

Otherwise, just get the HTC one you fancy and live with its limitation, enjoying all the stuff you can do with it (new firmware, cooked firmware, lots of applications, customizations, etc.).

Cheers,

vma

I am in the same boat as the original poster. I am looking for a new phone since my iphone 2g has the dreaded dead strip which is common for the iphone.

At first when it happened I instantly wanted to replace the iphone with another one however on craiglist the 2g were still going for around $150 to $200. However again these were used and most likely were going to start crapping out just like my current. On mine the volume buttons began get stuck and eventually from trying to plug them out ended up coming off. Then I explored the option of a newer 3g since it is better phone overall of the 2g with better form factor and speakerphone. However they were going for $250 to $300 but then again with no warranty. Also since I am taking it to tmobile it would be without 3g.

So yeah the iphone is expensive choice for me since the same plan I have now on ATT would cost me $65 more a month which is $780 more a year. If I decide to take with tmobile then I am paying $300 for an iphone that does not have a warranty. The one year warranty is ridiculous for a phone that retails for $600.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
I might be a senior, but we're all still learning :)

So my question is, when you wipe/reflash something, is there a way to keep all the Protected/Paid apps installed when you start up? Normally, a wipe will break all of your protected/paid apps and list them in the launcher as "com.XXXX.XXXX" or even "org.XXX.XXX". Launching them results in the infamous Force Close box.

This is indeed on Apps2SD and with Cyan's new 3.9

Back up all your apps using MyBackupPro or Backup for Root Users. I have all mine on my sd so they re-install automatically. I don't have to do anything, and they don't load up as com.xxxxx.htc.. blah. But I use Backup for Root Users when I do have to format my ext2 and this brings them back no problem.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
my advice to anyone on here who is going to play with anything on their phone:

before you do it, make sure you have enough time allotted to fix EVERYTHING, as if you were starting from scratch. that way, before you begin, you can have the peace of mind to know that if anything goes wrong, you've got all the time you need to fix it.

murphy's law: whenever you think you're in for a quick fix, theres a long road ahead of you.

Wouldn't hurt to have a backup unlocked GSM phone too. That's one of the nice things about GSM-based technologies... if your phone dies for whatever reason, pop the sim out and put it in a backup phone. You'll still be able to be contacted while you fix the primary device.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaithis01:
I had this issue too with the same Rom and with the previous version. This is how I solved it.

First I deleted all apps, etc from my SD card while it was connected to my Mac, just made it easier. (I was also running a previous Apps2Sd, not the one built into the mod, which I believe was the root of the issue. I didn't use the old apps2sd once I upgraded the ROM, and I may be way off but I find it suspect.

Then I wiped and reinstalled the ROM. Yea I had to reinstall my apps but...

...before doing all that I had tried removing and then reinstalling an app. A reboot/power cycle of the G1 would result in the icon being gone again and that ugly error message in regards to the app.

When I did the step I mentioned prevously, delete, wipe, etc I've not had any further issues.

I've also since updated by fs from ext2 to ext3 but that was after the fact.

Cyan's mod is by far my favorite and consistently stable and well documented. I'm glad I was able to correct my issues.

Have to agree completely with the above. Hope for the best but plan for the worst.

i just got a new g1 and when i click on the device in ubuntu i put a checkmark by the device in the usb list but it immediately just disappears, am i missing something?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Hmm, I do sometimes have problems mounting the G1 is ubuntu, but its normally fixed be logging out and in or remount in the phone and mounting in ubuntu again. When this happens I see "Usb Device" in the computer are of nautilus, but that refuses to mount.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
ok well then i suppose there arent any setting im supposed to configure when attempting to mount a new device, although it mounted the other g1 so i dont know if this would even count as a new device.

But at least i know its not the settings i need to be looking at...

its just so damn irritating that i plug in the device, it appears on the list of devices in the ubuntu usb icon, then i check the htc...box and i get the connecting sound immediately followed by the disconnecting sound...argh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Could explain what you mean by "check the box"? I just go to computer and mount it from there or places from the gnome panel and click to mount. You are using Nautilus right? Also it never says anything about HTC for me, just the label I gave to the fat32 volume :-S
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Get ready to laugh, i dont know what nautilus is, care to elaborate?. I start up ubuntu, and on the bottom right there is a usb icon, and when i plug in a usb device it shows up there, so i click on the respective device, in this case the phone which shows up as 'htc device...' and then i mount from phone. if i just click (check) the device w/o mounting i can use terminal and what not but once i mount it i can see and change all of the partitions with gparted.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephron:
nautilous is the name for the explorer in ubuntu like Windows Explorer in Windows. I still dont get what you are trying to say. Are you saying you can mount it but it disapears or does it mount and you cant change or remove anything?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wg5566:
If the phone can not bootup any way. There's several threads talking about how to dump a HTC ROM, but I'm not sure if it works on Bootloader mode or not. Please check youself.

Otherwise there are several commercial softwares like this: http://www.finaldata.com/Products/?s=PRD&c=18&n=42, basically can extract or recover whatever data from the phone. But it's very expensive, their typical customers are organization like FBI or special data recovery companies, those will list their service cost on every kb of data recovered.

Both way are not easy, but only if you can find out a way to boot it up at least once it's done. After bootup first try to copy out the file pim.vol in the root of system, then try to run apps like PIM Backup.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PhilipL:
Hi

The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.

If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanderingthemaze:
So, first hello and thanks ahead of time for answering a noobs' problem.

I wanted to search before posting but don't know really where to start.

I followed the Tutorial Ninja guide to rooting found here:

http://tutorialninjas.net/2009/06/27/root-jailbreak-an-android-g1/

(so you can see which ROM, img, etc I used)

Everything went according to plan, except that the second command listed gave an error, that "-f no such file or folder could be found." But commands 1 & 3 worked, so I proceeded.

The problem I ran into was that when I upgraded the ROM at the very end, it would not boot up, it got stuck at the metallic "android" screen and was just stuck in a loop.

So, not having a microSD card reader, I just restored to factory settings. However this time, the beginning screen called my phone a Developer Phone, which it isn't. So it must not have restored everything to factory.

It appears the phone has a lot of the cupcake features, like auto-rotate screen, soft keyboard, but how could it be cupcake if I did a factory restore?

Here's the details listed under About Phone:

Model number: Android Dev Phone 1

Firmware version: 1.5

Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

Kernel version: 2.6.27.25-cm shade@toxygene )

Build number: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB43 148830 test-keys

I'm used to looking for an RC#, like RC33, but since I used a diff ROM, I have no clue what I'm running and if I indeed have root access.

Anyway, the point of rooting the phone was to have tethering capability, so I downloaded the Tether App and when I attempt to tether it asks me if I want to "allow" access for root:root (I'm paraphrasing) so it seems it is rooted. Can someone help me figure this one out?

Also, since I'll have to manual updates, where should I go for them?

This is such an awesome forum, and look forward to being part of the community. Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Doing a factory restore merely does a wipe of the data folder. You will still keep your ROM, SPL, radio, etc things that you've flashed. Those things stick with you. If its asking you for root, press always allow. You have root.

Firmware Version: 1.5 = cupcake. 1.1 = noncupcake. So you succeeded.

If you want to double check, go into terminal emulator (just download from market if you don't already have it)

When you open it, you should see:

$

from there, type su

$su

if you get:

# <- this means you have root permissions.

You can download custom ROMs from the developers forum. Just find one that you like and try it out, most of them only require you to wipe/flash the ROM from recovery (Home+Power). Cyanogen's are always a nice choice, or you can try Haykuro's or JesusFreke's (JF). But always check to make sure you have to the requirements to flash the ROM before doing so. They're usually located on the first post of the first page, so don't ask if you need this or that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:

Hi, you do indeed have rooted cupcake my friend :D when you do a wipe, it's like a factory restore, it doesnt reflash the firmware the phone came with, it just re sets everything so the phone is "as new". This fixed the bootloop you had for some odd reason so your phone now boots up. It shows as an Android Dev Phone because you flashed the dev phone firmware.

That's it really, everything appears to be fine :-)

I was beaten to it by the poster above because I was typing on my G1 :P Oh well, the 'su' in the terminal is a good point though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Off the top of my head I'm not sure what version you're running, but yes - it is rooted. Does tethering work? If so, you're all set.

Well, mostly. Your radio is out of date. Use the link in my sig to snag the latest, apply it in recovery like the update.zip you did to flash your ROM.

What to do for updates is up to you.. There are many different ROMs out there, just need to pick which one works best for you. Personally, I suggest Cyanogen. But a new user shouldn't use the link in my sig.. Go over to the Development section of the forum and find the CyanogenMod 3.6.8.1 version - it's currently the stable version. If you want regular updates (new patches from Google, community developed features, etc) CM is the way to go.

SOLVED

h.nocturna - I did get #, I have root! everybody dance. Good to know about the factory restore

AdrianK - thank you. i guess i got kinda lucky fixing it myself, mostly due to lack of options. hehehe

Saiboogu - I have yet to get the tethering working. I tried today at work with a Mac Pro via Bluetooth, was able to pair, but could not establish a connection. I'm going to try later with my Ubuntu laptop which is what I will be tethering to in most cases anyway. I heard Bluetooth is the best way to go, but not sure why. Definitely convenient if you forgot your cord.

I'll check the dev forum to see about upgrading to the latest ROM, but I'm nervous, as I don't want to screw up my phone again. I was out-of-commission for half a day with this trial. But updating ROM should be easier that gaining root right? You don't need any special commands, just reboot and flash?

Again, thanks!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
I'm pretty sure the bluetooth stack doesn't have transferring enabled at this point. You can only connect to headsets and whatnot, you can't transfer data. Try Wireless Tether (app from Market) to do your tethering.
