[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] shigeo:
I've owned many phones over the year and worked for many phone companies and boxwave has been the best screen protector i have ever used =) crystal clear! i think on some touchscreens it even helps make the stylus move smoother. i have always recommended them to all my customers because of the quality and the easy application =)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] anit77:
I used the anti-glare version on my Fuze and really liked it when boating or any other use outdoors. If you keep the backing in the plastic pouch that it comes in it makes for easy removal and storage. I received a set for my Tilt2 and noticed it wasn't an exact fit I was used to so I sent them an email about it. Boxware informed me that it was designed that way to make for easier removal. After looking at it again I can see that if the whole screen was covered it would be very difficult to remove it with the screen being slightly recessed in the chrome bezel. There is a .05mm, or less, gap at the top and bottom when centered. I believe this is totally tolerable.

If you have a clear protector that doesn't have any orange peel you can lay this one right on top of it and it seals up perfectly. You then get the benefit of having the best of both worlds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] agentdr8:
As an FYI for the Tilt2 users out there looking to get the Boxwave TP2 clear (and probably anti-glare version as well) protectors... since they're for the Euro versions of the TP2, they have a cut-out for the front-facing camera. Of course, thanks to the brilliance of our lame US 3G carriers, we don't have front-facing cameras and the screen protector will leave that small hole vulnerable to scratches. Maybe not a deal-breaker, but just wanted to let everyone know.

EDIT: I see now that BW has a Tilt2-specific screen protector. I've sent off an email to them to clarify if it has a camera hole or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] enisoc:
I ordered the Tilt2-specific protector (AG) as soon as they emailed me to say it was available. It does not have a camera hole. For proof, please refer to Exhibit A.

@anit77

I'm not quite understanding why would you want to double stack the SP??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] anit77:
I do a lot of boating so having anti-glare is handy while on the water. But I prefer clear for most everything else. So it's not for protection of any kind but to have to switch between clear and anti-glare as often as I do would be a pain it the a$$. When I get back from fishing I just take the AG off and store it. I have noticed no issues with functionality when both are on.

I have a USA MT3G and i want to root my phone so that i can tether with the original Tmobile rom. Is it possible to root the phone with the Tmo ROM?

I keep reading all these posts on how to root the phone but it seems so damn complicated :confused:. I am very tech savvy but i just cant seem to understand how to do this. Maybe it's because i cant find the right guide or files to root the phone. There are so many versions of SPL's I am afraid i will brick it.:(

Can someone point me in the right direction please....

its called someone is spoofing you with a spoof app of some sort heres a website about what its about.

basically youre being pranked

Here's the website
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneyoungjay:
I appeciate the insight but I have that app and as far as I am aware you can't call a number with the same number.....it won't allow it. So I'm pretty sure that's not it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Say Dave doesn't like Jay and wants to prank call him.

He uses SpoofApp or the equivilant service to call him.

To use this service all you need to do is enter the number you would like to call and the number that you would like to show up on the recievers callerID.

Jay recieves a call from the number that Dave put in.

It could be just about any number and the only way that I know of for sure to tell who it is that's calling you is TrapCall.

Hope that clears it up.

Ya I hear you on that and I have used it......I'm not stupid. This is a phone issue. The calls are comming after a voicemail is left. What could the problem be. I'm not trying to be a jerk but the obivious solution is not allways the right one. Could someone give me an idea.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] DDReed:
Hi

I have an O2 XDA ORBIT and when I switch it on it keep on going to the splashscreen and volume keys is downwards and stuck there. I tried resetting the device but it made no difference.

I took it to a mobile repair shop and told me I need to replace the voice control key as it is faulty and that is why it keeps on being stuck there.

Any ideas where i can find this part online or could be another reason for the fault here.

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] danreed:
Can be fixed !!!

I have an XDA orbit with the same problem!! it can be repaired easily and should not take more than 1-2 hours max to get it fixed. The best price to repair it is approx 20 (GBP) in London, UK. If you are local I can tell you where to go.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBNAquatics:
So I was looking at the manual for HTC Hero for Sprint and they have ASR included in it. What it does is allow voice recognition for voice dialing. I was wondering if it's possible to implement this in a future ROM update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Sprint's HTC Hero is running Android 1.6 (Donut) which has ASR. When 1.6 comes to the European Hero, I am sure it will be possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
There's no good reason why voice dialling isn't already available on the Hero.

Voice dialling always was available on US T-Mobile G1s. As I understand it, it wasn't included in UK G1s because it had a hard time understanding the "English" english accents, but when I had my G1 (sourced in the US) the problem wasn't with my accent - it was that it was trying to "force" the number to be a US format phone number.

[HTC Excalibur] Ray_jai:
Hi, My phone is having very bad reception, and I tried the 3 radio roms.

Tmobile, HTC and rogers.

The Tmobile one seems to work better, But, when i go inside a build, I lose everything.

and standing near a window doesn't help either.

Can somone with an 8125 or 8525, tell me if the reception was better with those phones?

I used to have those 2 phones, and I always got reception inside a building.

I want to know if it's the Radio rom or a hardware issue.

Maybe, I need to replace the internal antenna?

any help would be great.

I use tmobile, and I live in manhattan

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
it sounds like the phone itself since you tried different radios, I flashed just about every rom I could find and always had about the same reception. I wouldn't know where to find new parts though. I've seen dead dashs on ebay for parts.
[HTC Excalibur] Ray_jai:
thanks,

I got the phone used, and i want to know which part in the phone is the antenna,

it could be damaged.
[HTC Excalibur] mitsgsx:
It runs across the top of the phone, the top two screws on the back cover (the ones with the rubber plugs over them) actually hold it in place. It has a small prong on it that you can bend slightly if it isn't making good contact with the circuit board.
[G1 General] Brock Samson:
amazing. your right they do fear us and they have woken a sleeping giant. what i dont get is the fact that these roms are making this phone better. as you said you gave over 300 people instructions how to do this at the call center. if anything these devs are helping google make sales, and google doesnt even have to make a better product. they make they same thing tht has been out since 0ct.22.2008 and the devs make it better. you sir are a god among men.

[G1 General] AndroTMO:
I am a RSA for TMO, and one of the major selling points was that Android was (is?) Open Source. That was a big deal to many customers.

(No offense to any oldsters.:p)

[G1 General] david1171:
this was truly a great letter. i would love to see the response (if you even get one) to this. i feel inspired to go do something now...

Android users, this is your call to arms.
[G1 General] Darkrift:
Before you go and write long winded threatening letters to someone, maybe you should look into what you are writing about first. The person you are writing the letter to is an employee of a company that tells him what to do. I doubt after all of the help he has given developers and "hackers" in the Android irc channel, that he was just planning on striking everything down. My guess, and that of many others who know of him (havent chatted a lot, but he is social with us) would be that he was told to write that post. I dont want cyanogen roms to go away either, but I think you are going at it the wrong way. Hate the company, not the developers.
[G1 General] Darkrift:
And after re-reading the post, you mention installing this on devices that already have it. The exact same arguement I used but you must also realize that an HTC hero does not get these Google Apps. It is an HTC branded phone and instead gets HTC branded apps. The "With Google" phones are the only ones that come with these apps pre-installed. Even then, apparently (I just found this out today) that your license to these apps does not allow you to copy them OFF of the device they came on. So that cut down another idea we had: copy the apps from the rom to SD, flash image, copy apps back.

Once again, I do not disagree with you or your anger, I just disagree with who you are directing it at.
[G1 General] kusotare:
irrelevant. "i was just doing what i was told" is never an excuse. it doesnt work in the justice system, and it doesnt work here. i could elaborate more, but i really dont want to invoke Godwin's Law this early in the conversation. he opened his mouth. he made himself the target. everyone is a nice and helpful person until they show their true colors.

perhaps its just me, but i'm one of those people that actually hold to my ideals. if i'm fighting for something and my boss tells me to do otherwise, i'm going to tell him to pack sand. if I get fired, i can always find a new job, but I can do so with my integrity intact. he had a choice. everyone always has a choice.

also, to your second post, the HTC branded phones arent the subject of controversy. the apps are "free". i quote free because it isnt true in this case. how is distributing the official Gmail app for free any different than accessing the same capabilities through another means? if I were to delete the official GMail app off of my phone entirely and instead access my gmail account through a browser, wouldnt that have the same effect on Google's "bottom line"? I'm still using the same service and not paying for it. Similarly, with the hero, if you have access to GMail through any email application or browser, are you not violating the same concept? You're still using the core of google's intellectual property for free. Their only real solution is to make the Google apps paid applications that everyone has access to if they want to shell out the cash, or simply drop the whole thing.

Are they going to stop people from creating custom GMail apps too? Cause if so, they've got a big fish to fry, cause they'd have to go after everyone who wrote a gmail plugin for firefox as well. any way you look at it, they're not going to stop the development community from going on, its simply too big.
[G1 General] Darkrift:
If Dell gives you a "free" copy of vista on your laptop, and then you buy a compaq with linux installed on it. Does that mean you have the right to install your "free" vista on the compaq also? It was free! How about you write a new windows shell and you bundle your free windows vista with it. And you also throw in your free copy of Office that came with it.

I understand their point and I realize these examples are not EXACT enough to matter, but the point does. They give you the apps for A SPECIFIC device and they give them to you with rules. Rules that we do not like.

I feel that they instead of C&D'ing him, should have had a little sit down with him. Said "hey, we realize you are doing a lot of good for us by promoting our product and giving those who want more what they ask for when we cannot, but we have some rules for you. A, you must make every attempt you can to make sure the roms you distribute go on authorized "With Google" devices. B, not release stuff you do not have permission to release." This would allow google to control what he releases enough to fit within the rules (keeps carriers from saying "hey, he can release your apps without paying, why cant we?"). They would also benefit from the many thousands of users who flock to these custom roms but realize they are unusable in their bare forms.

And so you do not have to, I will be the first to pull the term nazi out of my hat in this one :P
[G1 General] Darkrift:
The safeguard they have in place is lack of root access. If you have root access yo have exploited a bug and are acting out of the designed use of the phone. You would not be able to backup or otherwise access these app files. Also, you would not be able to flash the new rom without root, which you gained by exploiting a bug.
[G1 General] kusotare:
Absolutely. But at the same time, the whole "exploiting a bug" argument is similarly null. If the bug never existed, two things would be true:

1. There would be no custom roms for end users, which Mr. Morrill says he supports and looks forward to seeing more of. This would be true since the idea of creating custom software would be idiotic as nobody would be able to install it. The only people utilizing the open-source framework would be major development houses, such as what creative is doing with the plazma stem-cell android that they're putting on the EGG. Application development has nothing to do with open source. The iPhone is not open source, but you can still develop apps for it.

2. The claim that they have about the free distribution of their intellectual property would hold merit, as it would be legitimate software piracy, instead of an unintended side effect of faulty design.

The first point is what makes this a farce. We, as developers, found a way to get custom software onto our devices, something which we were never intended to do. One of two things should have happened at that point: they should have let us continue to do it, which they did (closing the loophole could have been done, they could have found a way to prevent downgrading, seeing as there are no other OS options for the device) or they could have stopped it there and said that exploiting the bug is illegal. Its been a year since the device came out. This has been going on for a YEAR. You mean to tell me that this is an issue NOW and wasnt a year ago when it first started? Its only an issue because they're not the only game in town anymore. Ridiculous. Someone got their feathers ruffled and wanted to take out the little guy.
[G1 General] Darkrift:
Ok, I am not going to keep replying to your endless wandering rebuttals. I feel you are wrong in who you are aiming your hate mail at and that is the end of the story.
[G1 General] kusotare:
Thats fine, and I do apologize for being excessively adamant about it. But I still feel I'm right. You only paint a target on yourself if you're prepared for people to shoot at you. Thats all I can say about it.
[G1 General] fenixnr:
About your dell giving you a "free" copy of vista. As long as that CD key is only used on one computer, you can use that CD key on ANY computer. Read their TOS. Your are wrong about a lot, but right about some. Changing the integrity of the windows shell is illegal, because that is microsoft property and NOT open source, but anytime you purchase an OS, or computer, you OWN that cd key of the software, all apps that come included as well. Could you try another example?
[G1 General] MontAlbert:
nice letter.
