[Nexus One Accessories] webgrafix:
I have the same case as the OP... and I agree on his spot on review!

But... (at least for me) it is a "lint magnet".... as I think most silicon cases are.

When the "docks" come out, I think you will need to remove almost any case in order for it to fit. All "external" cases add some bulk.

My plan it to install a full body film and *still* use the silicon case.

Here is why...

I am a little anal when it comes to "protecting" my phone. I paid full price for this bad boy, and want it to last. My G1 after about 16 months still looked like it was just out of the box.

When you use these silicon cases... dust and other crap still get inside of them. Then when you take it in and out of your pocket, that stuff acts as a really fine sandpaper and after a while you will notice some wear. Now, I am not a big fan of the whole phone film protector, but I plan on keeping it hidden under my case.
[Nexus One Accessories] madforpancakes:
How is taking the phone in and out of your pocket? Does the silicone make it more difficult?
[Nexus One Accessories] Bicster_:
Not at all.
[Nexus One Accessories] sinbonders:
But I do :)
[Nexus One Accessories] icon57:
i just got mine tonight...its ok...its a tad loose around the sides, i was hoping for a fit that would be more snug...not bad for 10 bucks...however i will be looking for other solutions
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Maybe a little microfiber or felt inside the case would make for a better fit and better protection? I'm assuming the inside is just plastic...?
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Just got mine today and it feels great in my hand. Its a little bit loose around the sides, but I feel it's much more protected than with out one.
[Nexus One Accessories] icon57:
not really, its a smooth rubber.

...with the case on, it will not fit in the nexus one soft sleeve, but it fits perfect in my g1 sleeve
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sorin129:
I have a problem with wired tether ..........everytime i start the app the phone rebots itself ........not everytime but 90% of the time....

wireless tether is working good but it drains the battery so fast that even connected to my laptop it still drains the battery very slowly so i would like to use my wired app because its better for the battery.

can anyone help me with my wired tether please?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wirelessninja:
Does anyone know a way to automatically capture an address from an incoming e-mail on to google maps? I have done that in iphone, where the phone pretty much recognizes an address or a phone no. in any incoming e-mail, highlights them, and gives u an option to directly select them to either search them on the google maps or dial the no.

So far, i have had to select the addresses as text from my incoming e-mails and then manually paste them in the search column of google maps....rather annoying and time consuming method, esp. when one's driving.

It would be great to have an app or a method to recognize and capture these incoming phone nos and addresses. anyoone know how?

[G1 General] Celestial_torpor:
I am an AT&T customer that uses-- used a rooted G1 from eBay. I called HTC, and they told me the manufacturer warranties on the G1 ended last month.

How likely is it that I could convince someone at the local T-mobile store to help me with a replacement?​

I'm assuming not at all likely, but I've read stranger things here on xda. I'm imagining they have the phone's IMEI tied to some grand customer database to show that I'm just some bum with a G1. I do have a friend with T-mobile (and a G1), but if it is tied to the IMEI, they wouldn't just take my phone from her if I paid her?

I'm really not looking forward to buying a whole new phone, but I

have accepted that this is probably my only option

, so please don't flame too thoroughly.

(I did several searches, but almost none were relevant to AT&T/eBay return combo. Unless I just suck at searching.)
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
You are right, you have 0 chance of T-Mobile swapping or doing anything at all.
[G1 General] hiddengopher:
how did it break?
[G1 General] aceo07:
TMobile won't support you unless you bought the phone from them.

I called HTC last week to check on my G1 warranty since TMobile wouldn't support me. I was told (by HTC) that warranty is 15 months. Mine expires next month. Did you give them your S/N to check your warranty?

Though, if it was rooted then your warranty is void. Unless you want to pay for them to fix it for you, don't send it in. I don't know how they know if you rooted or modified anything, but if they find out you will be charged a minimum (triage) fee even if you decide you don't want to pay for actual repairs.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
I sent them one that was previously rooted and obviously had been torn apart- no moisture sticker even. Told them I got it that way on Craigslist. Didnt cost me a dime besides shipping (Priority Mail $5) and time. HTC direct rules IMO.

The Triage fee is for them to diagnose it, and is only charged if you are out of warranty, or if it is your fault. The fee also includes return shipping.
[G1 General] Celestial_torpor:
I spoke to a rep, and when I gave her the S/N she said it expired on 12.25.9. I'm not sure where she was getting the date considering I bought the phone in May, but it definitely wasn't 15 months. I can't imagine the phone was already 6 months old when I bought it unless it was just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

I had another idea though. Possibly stupid, but possibly genius, too?

What if I went to T-mo, and bought a phone without a plan. Then switched the motherboards and got a replacement for the broken one. Then I could returned the new one? Is this mad?
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
Not only is it mad, it would be really obvious what you did since all those void stickers would be removed in the process, as well when found out there would be hell to pay on your end for trying to fraudulantly switch devices like that. As well, the mother board has the serial # on it both physically and electronically, and this can't be changed.
[G1 General] Celestial_torpor:
Ah. I guess the good old G1 is going into a drawer somewhere until one day (hopefully) it can be un-bricked.

Since I have to buy a new phone anyway now, would anyone care to throw in their two cents for the Cliq or the X1a as a replacement Android phone under 300 without contract?
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
You could also get a used G1 off eBay in great condition for about $200. I got mine in perfect like new condition for $200 back in Septemeber, when I was looking they were going typically for about $225-$250 in that condition, but I waited for the best deal(took about a week of watching to get the deal I did). I would assume with the Nexus One coming out and being post X-Mas season, prices are down a bit, but will likely go back up a little come February when tax season starts.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Keep an eye out for a cracked g1 or one with other problems, then re-use the board. I see them on CL for $40-60 regularly (although none right now).

I would talk to HTC and tell them where you bought it and when, it helps if you have the transaction recorded! You should be able to convince them to cover it if you have enough proof. Nothing wrong with using the truth to your advantage.
[G1 General] aceo07:
Depending on where you live, you can find a good number of people selling their G1 on craigslist. I got bored and just did a search now.

$70 w/o battery or cover (sounds sketchy).. $100 in good condition.. $200 unlocked. Seems like the average is $150 around here.
[G1 General] ilostchild:
I got mine for 100 brand new shipped from tmobile! The person didn't want it as they got a new phone so you may get lucky and get a brand new one for a real cheap price
[G1 General] Celestial_torpor:
I bought a cracked G1 on ebay for ~90USD. I found 2 within 100mi on craigslist, but both were scooped up by someone else within the first hour of being on the list.

I followed the step-by-step guide here to swap the phones' guts and now I have a locked (but not bricked) phone, and a dud.

Maybe I can still fetch a few bucks for the bricked, cracked (screen) phone. :D
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
With the Nexus out now I bet quite a few early adopters like me are switching. I got a msg from my buddy today saying once his Nexus arrives the G1 is for sale. He wants $100 for it, pretty average price around here for a working, but not mint, G1
[G1 General] cloverdale:
Correction, TMobile will not support you, even if you bought a phone from them.
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
all of a sudden today I cant recive calls or text messages. I RUU'd and still nothing so now I have to get a new one. this really kinda sucks
[Hero CDMA General] washjayb:
Just a thought, are you selecting EVDO Only? If so i had the same issue. The phone would not receive calls or text, must select hybrid and all is well.
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
OMG dude thank you so much yes I did have it EVDO only I changed while I was at work becuse it kept going into data rome and completely forgot about it

thank you so much
[Hero CDMA General] washjayb:
No problem. I replaced two Hero's behind that and tech support could not figure it out.
[Hero CDMA General] 06ms6:
You can turn off data roaming if that's. What you're trying to avoid.
[Hero CDMA General] DiMa1720:
im having same problem, will see if the hybrid helps...

Just switched and now am able to receive calls, before on edvo it only received calls when i was in a call...sweet scared me for a min, was about to drive to store and complain .... also does sprint know about this??
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Sprint uses EVDO for data, and the 1X network for calls and texts. So if you're forcing EVDO, you're stopping your phone from switching to 1X, and therefore can't receive calls or texts. Yeah, I'd say Sprint knows, they built their network that way on purpose.
[Hero CDMA General] obededom:
why? of what advantage is that to them?
[Hero CDMA General] azfxstb:
I too have been afflicted by this issue with my fiddleitus problem
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Cuts down on Network traffic and not to mention if you start a call on EVDO and drop the signal to 1x, you drop the call. so for fewer "dropped calls" they force you on 1x where coverage is much greater than evdo.

Iphone still has this issue where AT&T allows calls over 3g. Theres 500 thousand apps that turn off EVDO on an iphone durring a call. There may even be a few for Android.
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
Its not that Sprint built their network that way. Its that CDMA technology, is built THAT way. Its a difference between GSM and CDMA. That's why ATT and T-mobile can use data while talking while neither Verzion Sprint can't...

GSM has voice and data fully digital.

CDMA has digital data and analog (1x) voice.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
Maybe I can get my gfs hero warranty'd out for this. All the paint chipped off her red button and they wouldn't get her a new one. I bet not getting calls would do the trick...
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
That's happening to my hero :/
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
Sprint doesn't know about this apparently becuase before I started this thread I was on the phone with "advanced" tech support for an hour and they never mentioned to check that setting.

I just today had bestbuy replace my phone for the paint peeling on the end button. It seems like it is a common flaw with these phones. However I was under my 30 days.
[Hero CDMA General] animal7296:
I can not get them to warranty the paint peeling on mine either. Any ideas how to get them to replace it?
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
do this.

10 char
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Flash a gsm radio and give it to a repair center.

Watch while they scratch their heads in confusion. lol

I wouldn't do this unless you had to though seeing as it would deepfry your phone.

To those who searched upon this thread DON'T DO IT...

You can try S2U2 - there are two options => "Blank screen on talk" and "Lock on talk". I prefer "Lock on talk" because of automatic activation backlight (proximity sensor) in case of removing the device from your ear...

Thank you goodbreak,

but I'm not so happy to install a different program to make a so "simple" operation that with my previous P3600 I realized simply pressing the on-off button ... :mad:

Thanks also to you, bshakil.

But all this program make too operation not useful for this issue.

The solution should be very simple. Separate the off (hardware) button from End call button.

A simply solution should be to assign to a different hardware button the Off operation.

It should be possible ?

Thanks to all for any advice !

I totally understand it ... my previous phone was tytn2 and i miss seperate suspend button as well..

But with only 5 buttons available on the handset (excluding Volume) . i dont think we can assign a button for suspend only...

all bull____ aside, it is a matter of prefference. I like mine, you like yours.

and back to topic; they are probably erasing the forum contents (or updating to 6.1 / 6.5 forums for the same device) ... or maybe they just decided that since XDA is mentioned on all of those forums the tmo forums are sort of obsolete... or just exist to direct their users here :)

Or would an upgrade (e.g. cyan's making bacon) be able to enable this function?
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Cyanogens Makin' bacon doesn't support landscape right now. The only I see to enable it would be to download a homescreen replacement such as Home++ that's what I'm using right now and it works fine.

It supports auto-rotate for everything but the home screens, which kinda sucks cause when I get Handcent pop ups if I wanna use the landscape keyboard I have to go into the handcent app. Can only do portrait for pop up quick reply if it comes up while youre on home or lock screen.
