Hi, may i know is it possible to disable charging of the G1 through USB? If the random charging were to continue, my battery would be dead in no time. I keep connecting and disconnecting to transfer data to my SD Card. Thus is there any solution out there to disable it? Thanks :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamPI:
Being on and off charge is not harmful to Lithium-ion batterys. Harm is done when kept at full charge for extended periods and at low charge, especially when completely empty.

Hi thank you for your explanation about Li Lion Battery, i finally have a clearer understanding of Li Lion battery. I will always leave my battery to charge overnight, would it harm my battery in anyway?:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
our batteries cut off before the voltage drops to the "bad" limit... I think around 3200 is considered bad, and our phone shuts off around 3500. This is how your phone is able to boot up even after the battery apparently ran out. There was a good thread way back when where someone knowledgeable was testing an upgraded battery for our phones.

Just use it till it gets low, charge completely, use it and have fun. Leaving it on over night is not bad because I believe our phones auto cutoff charging once full - hopefully someone can confirm this.

Is it worth me taking a new dream from Tmobile UK and rooting it to get a Hero ROM so I can have the new UI ??

Are there any problems with the ROM ?? that would stop it being used day to day ? also is it worth trading googlemail push for Microsoft Active Sync for Exchange which I used before on my WM device. ??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Hero is a port from a device with higher specs so to run on a g1, there will be a noticeble inherit slowness. I believe you will still have gmail on a hero rom though. For day to day use I would use a cyanogen rom. If you do want to run hero, you will need to partion your sd card into 3 partions, hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skauk:
Thankyou

Sounds pretty much like its not worth it then shame cause i love the dream QWERTy keyboard trying to type emails with on screen keyboard is a nightmare.

are there any screen shots of this ROM you mentioned ? What is good about this ROM ?

I just got the Dream yesterday it was supposed to be a Hero but they sent the wrong phone and offered me line rental discount if i kept it.

I just not sure if I should send it back and get hero.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
it depends on how much you want the physical keyboard. personally i wouldn't be able to give it up. the cyanogen rom he mention looks like a stock rom unless you theme. sorry don't know where i can get stock screen shot right now. you can probably google it though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Go over the devolpment sub-forum and go into cyanogenmod thread, you can see screnshots there, go witht the stable version which is 4.04, basiclly the feel and look of a stock rom but optimize for performance, it is the top rom for speed and stabilty at the moment. You can also download the cm updater from the market to stay on top of updates and a easy way to flash for now on. But make sure you make a nandroid backup for a just in case cause every once in a while you can get a bad download. Highly suggest also flashing cyanogen's pimped out recovery 1.4
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skauk:
Thanks for the info I might just hold off for a while and see how I go with stock ROM although I suspect I need to do something cause i am struggling to find any widgets that I want to use on the phone as standard
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
im pretty sure you could find a g1/dream on ebay or somewhere fairly cheap so if you can i would get the hero and have the g1 :D i mean i am buying a practically brand new g1 from a friend that is rooted with the 1.33.2005 spl for $100 maybe i just got really lucky.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
You got lucky, I just got mine from t-mobile for 150 with a new 2 year contract, so hopefully my g1 won't be extremely out of date and unsupported by then. At least by then there should be a new android phone with a snapdragon or tegra processor with 500mb ram and a pyshical keyboard which will blow away the g1 and even hero. Who knows by then we might have full graphic support with some cool ass games. Just hope we can get some better battery life by then
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
actually gridlock is pretty much wrong.

bluetooth doesnt work but i dont need it so i can live without it. LEDs dont fully work. it shines green whenever i get something new,but it doesnt blink.

missing text only exist is some hero roms... in JACs 1.6r2a , sms works fine. there is a slowness when compared to other cupcake builds, but hero runs pretty fast in my opinion. just cyanogens cupcake builds run faster.

i really like the sense ui and included widgets. multitouch is nice. and watching youtube in High quality over a 3g network is wonderful.

i love using the twitter widget. its soo useful. i only use twitter to follow devs,android news,tmonews, and new ROM news. so its easy to keep track of what the devs are doing and releasing

also i enjoy using my phone as a wifi access point, so i can use my laptop anywhere i go.

there is lag at times,but its not like SUPER SLOW. and you cant open the keyboard while at the homescreen. u just cant yet. but in apps u can.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
isn't there hero free from tmobile uk with a contract? or was that only for a while back? i remember seeing it when it was released. i would definitely get the hero then just buy a g1 off ebay or something. then just alternate between the 2. also it would take a large discount for me to keep the g1.

don't get me wrong i love my g1 but it would be easier to buy a g1 that it would be to buy a hero, just my opinion.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Ok so how do you figure I am wrong, you just backed up what I said, ok so you get your led to shine but it is still not correctly working, you backed up what I said about it being slower, I was saying hardware wise, and you backed up saying that some hero roms miss texts. Can you run your hero without swap or compchace without having a significant difference, I don't think so. Yes hero roms are getting better but in all reality how was I pretty much wrong when you said the same thing in nicer terms. Just out of curiosity. I think it just comes down to a matter of opinion
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
"hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations"

jacs hero 1.6r2a has no sms issues. the ones that have sms issues are the one thats older and outdated, or the new hero roms that hasnt been optimized.

LED notifications exist. just not as good as cupcake, but they are there.

its late and i dont feel like arguing with u. hero does have lag compared to cupcakes builds,but its not major
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francoghini:
i say get the hero and than get a g1 i got one from craigslist practically new without contract for 130=D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skauk:
Just been looking down the specs

The Dream and Hero are pratically the same apart from the memory and camera.

Not really to bothered by the camera anyways I got a 12mp camera if i want a photo. The video on the Hero is poor anyways. The only thing id be paying for is widgets at the expense of a full keyboard of the dream.

I suspect the increase in ROM and RAM is only to allow the Hero to run the Sense UI interface.

I think im going to stick with the dream.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i would trade you a dream rooted with 1.33.2005 spl and like 150 or 200 dollars for the hero lol

If I want to be able to download and install Telenav from T-Mobile's wap site do I need to go back to the original ROM that came with my phone or is there another way to make this work? Right now I get an error message about my phone not being comaptible or something to that effect.

I am using the Fusion ROM and have been completely away from WM phones for a long time. Glad to be back but I can't give up my BlackBerry until everything works like it does...reliably!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nuron:
Do you mean using the 5.99 T-Zones to get online? That's what I'm doing now just fine no problems. And even if you can't get Telenav to work there are plenty of other good programs like iGo, Tomtom, and Garmin.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pinhead:
I am referring to actually accessing T-Zones itself to download from T-Mobile's service/software offerings. I only want Telenav but that appears to be the only way to get it...I wish I could save it as a cab when downloading from the original ROM then open it up and install on this ROM...

Would that be possible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cp1md2b:
If you have a t-mobile account you can log into your online manager and use the help to configure the T-Zones. Or you can call T-Mobile customer support and they will walk you through it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] :No-Frost::
I bought an HTC Magic a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I got it. But then I realized that it only has english language. I know english but I speak spanish, I have read a lot of topics but haven't found a way to put spanish into the rom (with dictionary included).

So, my question is if there is an original HTC Magic Rom with spanish language included that I can install (I know how to root and everything), I don't need a modded rom (with apps and other stuff), I'm only looking for a way to instal the original rom but multilanguage if it's possible.

Thanks in advance to everybody who read this...

PD: I've already tried to searching the forum with no succes (I couldn't find anything :( )...

Tahnk you everybody.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Flash a ROM.

Several customs ROM ports nowadays are multilingual...whether it's the keyboard characters, or the displayed TEXT and settings on the screen; developers have done it. You just need to find the right one.

Trust me, in fact...I have a ROM flashed on my G1 now, a HERO port from JACxHEROski that right from the get-go allows you to alter the language settings prior to continuing to setup the device. That's almost standard with most well built ROMS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] :No-Frost::
I know, but I'm looking for a rom with no customization if it's possible.

I like the customized roms, but I prefer to have one with no modifications if it's possible. But I'm unable to find one :(

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] pisisler:
Hi,

I have an HP Ipaq 514 Voice messenger and using the 2.05 ROm update that HP officialy released. I enable wi-fi, it searches for wireless and says "Available"; but it doesn't connect to anywhere, it doesn't recognize the settings for the "avaliable" connections.

I go to Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi but the list is empty and worse yet, there is no "New" menu. So I can't create a new wi-fi connection myself. The left button says "Connect", right button says "Menu" which has only one element saying "Select" (but grayed out)

Before, when wi-fi opens, it was telling you "New connections found" in a popping screen. Now it doesn't pop-up.

I may have clicked "don't show again" when it popped up, or maybe a software caused it.. But I cannot find a setting to revert it back. I also searched the registry but got no luck. And I don't know how the hell "New.." menu gets disappeared..

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Alien1891:
I recently updated my ROM with HTC's latest from June I believe (I just got my Fuze last month...2 pennies at Amazon.com, woohoo)...I used Sprite backup to restore my personal data and my old Yahoo account is coming up on the Touchflo emailtab, and under the messaging section for the today screen when Touchflo is off. I can't find the account under the messaging list of accounts to delete it. I tried setting up four different accounts to see if it would bump that one out, but that did not work. In fact all that did was cause Touchflo and the today screen to not display the account names for the other accounts I set up...including the main Yahoo one. It is annoying having two yahoo accounts, same address, listed under both Touchflo and the today screen. Should I just get a different messaging client, I kind of like the one provided with the Fuze, even though I don't use Outlook...It works fine for SMS and my internet based accounts. I'm sure there is a way to get rid of it. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am new to Windows Mobile.

I can confirm that the FM radio is in the final version, same as in prototypes. At least in the international version. Don't know if there will be again "America" X2 and if it is, then if the FM will be there or not. But for sure, the version which is going to be sold in the EU HAS FM RADIO

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
Hi experts :-) I was hoping somebody here could throw some clues my way.

I have a 32A Rogers magic. (rogers HOFO )

I usb mounted the drive, and transferred a movie on there just for fun, and it was really SLOOOOOW , using the 2 gig sandisk microsd card it came with

So I tested the transfer rate, and write was about 3 meg/second. ouch

reads are about 5 meg/second (!)

SO I got an 8 gig type 6 card to solve this problem. I tested it first with a usb card reader, it reads at 16 - 17 meg/second (same usb port)

Put it in the Magic, and I'm back to 3 / 5 again, with the new card too.

The specs say "USB 2.0" - yet this is unbelievably crappy usb transfer rates :-(

I tried my buddy's Dream, it's exactly the same too. 3 / 5

Why? Any clues? Is there something to tweak?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
are you using the usb cable that came with it or your own one?

either way, have you tried a different cable?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
yes, tried that. And with a whole other phone, computer, and cable ;-)

I just tried it again though, it's the exact same, 3 MB/s write, 5.7 MB/s read on the HTC cable, and the normal one I use.

Why, is yours faster?

Could you use a stopwatch (like www.online-stopwatch.com),

and copy around a 100 or 150 meg .ZIP file to it, and tell me how many seconds it took?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
i just transferred a 550mb video clip from my laptop to my phone and it took 1m 28s.

my laptop isn't particularly fast either, so will have had some affect.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
Thanks :-)

That's about 6MB/s (550/88), that's better for writes than mine, close to double...

How long does it take to get it back, reading?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
59 seconds.

but don't forget my laptop sucks so that time will be a bit high.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
9.3 MB/sec still kicks mine. Thanks for checking that out.

This one reads really fast on a card reader, over 16MB/s

I guess it doesn't like Android phones. :-( I don't get it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
What brand / class is your card? Mine's transcend 8GB type 6
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
mine is the same.

at least, i think it's transcend.

it's certainly 8gb class 6 anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
just a thought...

what rom are you using?

the default or a modified one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] RandyG6403:
The HOFO roms

I've got it up to 8 to 9 MB/s writes, and 6- 7 MB/s reads now

That's exact opposite to yours, lol.
[G1 General] evanz:
I have tried every single ROM i could find and each one errors on me. Some errors i get are:

"Failure at line 1: run_program PACKAGE:check_prereq 124226890" and

"E:No signature

E:Verification failed".

I cannot get past the welcome screen because the touch screen died on me and everything is stock, I never rooted or manually upgraded. The phone was running real crappy so i did a hard reset and now its in a non working state.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
You can not flash a rom because your security is on since you are not rooted. The only thing that you can flash is an official provider rom. Download rc29 if you are in the us and rc7 if you are elsewhere, put it on the root of your sdcard, than enter the bootloader by pressing camera and power. That should set you straight. You can find the file you need by filing a link for rooting your phone, the file will be call dreaimg.nbh. once you do that you can just wait a day up to 3 for the ota updates or you can root your phone
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
can you turn on the phone at least?

if not then its done for.

youre suppose to root to use custom roms
[G1 General] Fingerlickin:
If it's not rooted then it is under warranty try TMo and HTC.
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
If your touchscreen is unrespondsive than you need a new phone

What good is a touchscreen that doesn't work?
[G1 General] evanz:
I was only trying the OTA roms. I just ordered a new digitizer off ebay to fix the touch screen.
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Ok well untill you fix that you are going to have a real hard time getting past the signing in, but for your issuse with the rom, follow my original instructions and that will get the orignal software back on your phone
[G1 General] evanz:
Thanks for the tip, I got it back at RC29
[G1 General] uansari1:
Are you planning on rooting? If you're planning on sticking with the original T-mo ROMs, then you can find the link for Cupcake in my sig. Might as well upgrade it manually, as it can sometimes take weeks till you get an OTA update from T-mo.

I take it your touchscreen still isn't working? If that's the case, as long as the moisture damage stickers inside the phone are still white, you're still under warranty. If you're the original purchaser from T-mo, they will send you a new one. If you aren't, then you can still contact HTC and they will have you send it to them to replace any damaged parts. You only pay for shipping one way.
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
you shouldnt have ordered a new digitizer. if your phone is still under warranty then take it to tmo or call htc. and make up a bogus excuse like u tried the ota and never booted back up.
[G1 General] evanz:
my buddy in PA(I live in MN) sent me the phone because she cracked the digitizer and corrupted the rom somehow. All i have is the phone, i don't have any proof of purchase or anything. Would I still be under HTC warranty?

I'm looking to upgrade soon, and where I live, AT&T is the only real option as a provider. I've checked out google, and got a lot of different information (Everything from it being named the "Fortress" and having a QWERTZ keyboard lol)

So, I was wondering if anyone had any idea?

Thank you, Boykin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
AT&T will be getting it, as the Tilt 2. Launch date is up in the air, though some signs point to Oct 6th, which is WinMo 6.5 launch day.

Photo here: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/08/10/images-of-touch-pro2-with-att-branding-emerge/

I'm waiting impatiently for it as well as plenty others around here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] medellinrob:
I'm relly happy to hear that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Boykin:
Thank you very much for the info. I just hope they don't do the dedicated number pad to the right, like shown in the pictures of the "Fortress," and I'm sure the QWERTZ keyboard was a fake.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
It'll almost 100% be the QWERTY keyboard with numpad as shown in the pic I linked.

The Tilt 1 and Fuze are the same way with the numpad unfortunately. And there are plenty who prefer the top row as numbers, but AT&T doesn't like listening to us :p

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Yeah that pic is super old. The one I linked is an actual in hand AT&T Tilt 2, so that's what it should look like in final form.
