[G1 General] skyline247:
Ok, I've had the Excalibur for a while, and now two BlackBerry's. I have been looking about getting into Android for a while, but since my contract with T-Mob isn't up quite yet, it was too expensive. Well, I was on ebay looking at the used G1's, and just for the heck of it I bid on it. Usually they sell for way more than I bid anyway. Well, this particular one I had the winning bid of around $100.

So here is the bad part. The phone is stuck at the triangular "warning" screen and looking at the sticker near the battery, it is apparent that the device has had water damage. I have placed it in a bowl of rice and placed a bag over it. I do not want to proceed to turn it on, as not to cause further damage. Aside from the taking apart the phone and using an alcohol solution to prevent further corrosion I am not sure what to do at this point. I am sure that the warranty, of course, would no longer be valid.

I have seen many of the posts stating this procedure, but have not seen much positive feedback concerning bringing back a G1 that has suffered water damage. Do you think that I wasted $100, and if not, what else would you suggest before trying to power up the device and possibly hard reset or even reflashing?

Thanks.

hit alt+l does a menu come up? also try the bootloader camera+power and flash the dreaming.nbh if you want to set it to factory.
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
well did the seller state that it was stuck on the triangle? and did they say there was water damage?

if they didnt state it then youre liable for an ebay case and can get your money back.

otherwise if they stated all the problems then it couldve been a waste to buy it... usualyl when a phone is left on TOO long after water damage...its done for.

send me a link to the ebay item so i can read over it =) plz.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
Well... unless the G1 was damaged in the shipment by water it seems like the previous owner messed it up and probably turned it on thus killing it. The process with the rice sometimes works, but it depends on how much water was exposed to the unit and what happens afterwards. For example it might work if you accidently drop it in the sink while brushing your teeth and you immediately place it in the rice and let it sit. But it probably won't work if you drop it in the swimming pool and let it sit there for 5 minutes and then trying to turn it on after you manage fish it out. Most inexperienced phone owners are too tempted to try to turn on their phones after exposing it to water just to see if it works. So I'm assuming that is what this person did. If there is water inside the unit and you turn it on your are shorting many of the electrical components inside. Since some of these components are sensitive to even static electricity just imagine what a constant 3.7VDC and 1150mAh would do! Even worse if they have it plugged in.

In short. If there is water damage then you is probably not much you can do besides contact the owner and request a refund. If not then file a complaint. You may want to read up on the bid that you won to see if it mentions anything about the damage.

Will you be making this CM Updater compatible?

nice theme man! i just uploaded the seahawk theme from the nfl ones though so i gotta stick with it for a while...ps they killed the rams today :) 28 to 0 :)
[Android Themes] ItsLunchBOX:
I tried to flash it last night and had some issues. Flashed CM 4.0.4, then flashed this theme. Hung at the boot screen for 10 minutes. Pulled battery, booted into recovery. Flashed CM 4.0.4 again, booted normal. Flashed theme again and hung at boot screen. Pulled battery, ran nandroid from last run (old theme) booted normally. Not sure what the issue is...
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
I'll be looking into it. I'm not going to pull it just yet but I am going to warn 4.0.4 users. I use the experimental builds so i did just enough testing on 4.0.4 to know it booted (on my device). I'll look deeper into it and see what I missed.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Good start! Have you figured out the power widget thing for 4.1.9.2? Looks like you're using the gChrome one with transparency (which I was going to do as well).

There is still a 1px error with global search I need to fix - which carried over to your theme. I should be fixing it later this week - then you can pull the files from there. ;)
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
I havent touched the global search but i will now that i've noticed that.
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
Updated for CM 4.1.10.1. The last version is completely compatible. I simply flashed the new ROM, then flashed the theme again.
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
I've been messing with this and have added/edted the new lockscreen but unfortunately I cannot change the color of the statusbar text to white. So for now I am going to leave this theme as it is and begin work on a new one as soon as I figure out what. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded this theme and for any that want the theme with the new lockscreen and black statusbar text, just let me know.

The new colorchange version 3 works wonders on any version now, even with Stericsons lockscreen. There is an experimental version 3 near the last page of posts on the colorchange thread.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Markot:
Hi,

One thing I dislike on the Topaz just after shooting a photo is that long white blank screen probably displayed while jpeg compressing.

I didn't notice specific times between low res and high res pictures but shooting 5Mpix with high quality takes about 3 sec of blank screen (btw I would have preferred black blank screen... less battery consumption).

Did you experience the same thing on your TD2?

Is there any feature to optimise this? (code with asm to speed up the jpeg compression...)

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gideonMorrison:
I was wondering why the quality of background images (home screen) are rather bad in comparison to the same photo's in photo viewer. They are quite blurry and washed out when one sets them as background. It's quite a shame, since they look very crisp when viewed normally.

Does anyone have an idea why that is?

Also, does anyone know of a bunch of applications I can download for the Topaz?

Greetings!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gideonMorrison:

OMG, now I've seen it all

I'm always willing to put in a little "photoshopping" effort to acommodate the whims of a particular device, but this is crazy! You'd have thought HTC could have done a bit more to help. A quality device like the TD2 deserves quality wallpaper and it should have been easy to do.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gideonMorrison:
Point taken. Therefore I contacted HTC hq today and explained the 'problem'. I mean why make it such an intricate hassle to have a wallpaper in native resolution?

Keep you guys posted, I requested a hotfix btw. :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] NeoGreendawg:
Search for a program called HD Walls... I'm not sure but I think it's on the Blackstone forum...

It will make HD wallpapers for all tabs or just the home tab for you. It works great.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Is there no way at all to add markers on a map in Google Maps ?

My Nokia's and SE's could do this and considering Google write the OS, you'd think that any Android handset would have the best version of its most popular app.

Their Map editor app is rubbish. Can't even position you on the map, you have to do this manually.

Are there any apps that will do this with Google Maps as I'd like to mark a hotel location in Amsterdam and then be able to get routing info back to it... I always get lost in Amsterdam for some reason ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] uglyswan:
It seems Google Maps on Hero doesn't support this feature, which is a shame I think...

I used to have a Windows Mobile device, on which I can save a map location (or search result) as Favorite in Google Maps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sproxy:
My maps editor from google does this job. Since they are saved in your account, you can access them from pc using google maps as well. In windows mobile, you can see your maps as a layer but as far as I remember it is read only. The android app lets you add/modify existing ones. The points you can save in WM were stored locally in the device and not available online.

http://androidcommunity.com/my-maps-editor-by-google-puts-your-custom-maps-in-your-pocket-20081215/
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Problem is, you cannot display those markers in Google Maps and then select one to navigate to.

Surely marking your position is pretty basic stuff and has been possible for years on non Google OS handsets.

Bloody silly in my book.

A simple way to add markers surely can't be that hard for those at the Googleplex ?

You'd think Maps was the same on any platform, but appears to be knobbled on some and full featured on others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nickmgray:
You can use the My Maps editor to mark you stop or add points. You will need to open your map in My Maps and from there you can choose to get directions to the location. Also, HTC has put the Footprints app which solves this problem. Simply create a new footprint with the widget or app (add picture, description if you want) and then just select which footprint you want directions to.

both pretty much do the same thing, but you need to use those apps (My Maps or Footprints) instead of Google Maps. As you mentioned, google maps for nokia supports adding markers. the Wm version does the same as well. I'm not sure why Google chose to include it in a seperate app instead of all in one.

If you have not used footprints, it's a whole lot of fun. I've used it to mark my friends houses, work, and some great restaurants. directions are always just one click away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Ah, cool tips thx. Bit of a faffy implementation, but will give this a go.

Never bothered with Footprints TBH, always used to using one app (Google Maps).

Mind you, with no way to back up data with any of the HTC apps, updating firmware will be a royal pain once Footprints has been used a number of times.

I got round it by adding a location as a contact and then using the Find Work feature.

Again a pain and no where near as useful as Google Maps should be on Google's own platform.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sdc77:
I am using Google Maps.. My Maps and Google Tracks..

They are pretty cool and the tracks app is great for cycling.

You have to wonder why this isnt all in one app though.

I have found that just using My Maps is fine tho.. and as stated above you can add markers and stuff to your hearts content
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
A simple marker in Google Maps so you can request navigation by foot is all I need... a pain to use multiple applications for something that already in Maps on other platforms.
[Touch HD General] FooisM:
Can this be done?

I have a url "http://radio.internode.on.net:8022/".

Hi,

Just wondering which ones of the available video compressions on the TD2 will give me the best result in terms of image quality (file volumes do not matter), when shooting in CIF (352x288).

By the way, could it be possible to bypass the limitation on VGA (640x480) regarding H263 and H264?

Indeed, VGA resolution is only permitted when MPEG4 compression is used.
