Hey, just found a cool dialer app, Phonebook 2.0.

It allows you to connect your contacts with social networks, including pictures and birthdays! I really missed that in the current version of the SE dialer... AND it even offers a Timescape-like overview, called "activities", which lists all mails, messages, calls, etc. like the main spline of timescape.

There are a lot more functions, and some things are only announced right now - just check it out if you want!

Oh, did I mention it's free?

Cheers

How to record courses... via a bluetooth mic on the teacher's desktop.

And then transform the recording in text. With the possibility to turn on/off the mic when he's talking about his wife and how he banged her the night before...
[Android Software Development] ozmulti:
an app which records and is a note taker at the same time, with you being allowed to tag certain areas of the recording (lecture) with appended notes and stuff.

Btw, if you do make it, pm me the link ! :D

What about something that automatically switches your phone to silent mode when you're in a lecture? You could base that off your calendar to know when your lectures are. (Note: I think this kind of app has been done before, but it should be challenging enough to be an interesting assignment.)

[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Now that we've all had the phone for some time now, is this the phone you wanted? Does it live up to the hype?

I personally love this phone. I don't have any serious gripes about it. Mainly small things but they aren't a deal breaker at all. This phone feels great in hand and the keyboard feels natural. However, I never use the application shortcut buttons or the www. Button. Those feel like gimmicks to me. I would have loved a full 5 row keyboard but manufacturers seem clueless to that nowadays. The phone is still very fast and my hinge is still strong. Battery lasts me 18+ hours with heavy usage. Its great when you don't have to constantly worry about the battery level.

Can't wait for this bad boy to get rooted and over clocked!

From here on out I'm only buying phones with stock android.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Amen. Ditched the vibrant for this and couldn't be happier.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
I am also completely happy with the phone. But like u said. I never use the www key as well as the quick keys. I would like a full number dedicated row.. but its not a deal breaker for me.

I can't wait for P. Root and wifi tethering!! (=

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I want you to post another vid of you demonstrating your strong hinge but this time give the phone a little jiggle now and again. I can do everything you did in that video but my hinge is far from rigid. Im on to you!

Weak hinge isnt bothering me though, although im certain this phone wouldn't survive a fall if the keyboard flops out on impact. I love the phone... keyboard could be better as you stated but im getting more used to it. The phone feels incomplete without wifi tether, but otherwise I love it.

Good screen size, good battery, good OS, good specs , good data speeds, good aesthetics.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
No I will not. Why would I shake it? Why would I shake any phone? That would only damage my hinges and make them more prone to looseness. That video was a realistic demonstration for practical usage. I will not demonstrate anything unrealistic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blueoval24:
Yes, thank you :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] CaliCL9:
I love this phone coming from the HTC HD2 running android and a G1. The g2 is super fast, looks beautiful, perfect feel in my hand, my hinge is solid not loose at all. Can't complain so far best phone I've ever got my hands on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheManCityLife:
This phone is great. It's actually my first "smartphone."

I don't have any problems. My first time using an onscreen keyboard, and it's a huge learning curve for me though. I rarely use the physical key board.

I don't have that hinge problem. From day 1 I've had a case and I still haven't taken my screen protector off yet lol. I received my phone Oct. 3.

Stock Android FTFW. Holla.

I want to make a video for everyone about my phone, not sure what though.

And this phone is living up to the hype. The GMAIL integration makes my life a lot easier. Saving things to my SD card is simple.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
I love the phone! It's a fantastic upgrade to my old G1. The only hardware option that I'd like is the notification LED off of the G1.

As far as software changes, I would only ask for 1 of two options.

option 1, phone comes with root accessibility.

option 2, phone comes with the ability to connect to IPSEC VPN, perform WIFI tether, and directly access my wpa_supplicant.conf file.

If I had either one of those things, it would be perfect

To me, these things are minor enough (and the root thing is (sort of) and will be solved). I love the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheManCityLife:
Yo man just checked out your video about the hinges. My phone has a strong hing IMO. If I'm laying down my screen will slide down. But like you said in the video, I will have to NOT be touching the screen, because naturally, I would have my fingers holding it in place. When the screen is closed, I hold it upside down - No problem.

I'm coming from Verizon and I must say, the T-Mobile call quality is nothing compared to Verizon. One of your vids you mention how you can just take a few steps and your bars will change, go in and out of Edge or HSPA. That's not necessarily a G2 issue.

I dig this phone, and I've already rocked a couple of my friends smart phones. Holla
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I have my third G2 coming the first of the week. So far both of the first two had loose hinge issues and terrible reception. In the same exact place I tested the signal strength with my Nexus One and Vibrant and the G2. The G2 was not even in the ball park. I do like the phone and believe it has tremendous potential. Other issues I have had include wall papers changing by them selves. Calls not ringing in and voice mail not registering. And the most irritating dropped calls. Just by picking up the device it would launch an application and deploying the keyboard will start up apps randomly. I did not touch the screen in any way when these things occur. Tried to launch Goggle Googles and a black screen came up and when I tried to back out it went to Google Earth. So far I am not overly impressed although as I stated previously that I do like the phone. If the thrid one has the same problems i will return it and wait to see what happens. I am hoping it will not as there is just something about this phone which appeals to me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ezcape:

[G2 and Desire Z General] TheManCityLife:
Check out my video I just made.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RZKHq6e1Ds
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
I am very happy with my phone. No problems with it whatsoever. It's everything I expected and more! :)

My hinge is somewhere in the middle between tight and loose. The screen will sometimes drop down if I hold the phone upside down without touching they keyboard. I have been using it heavily and have not had any problems with the hinge in normal use - keyboard open or closed - so it is a complete non-issue for me. I feel this is how it was designed to work.

The phone is blazing fast an the camera and video look great. No rebooting issues and reception is pretty good. I came from a Moto Cliq and the battery life and reception are both better on the G2.

I have some of those sticky antennas that go behind your battery on order. You can get a 5 pack of them on Amazon for $5 shipped. I noticed an improvement on my Cliq after installing one, so I'm willing to bet it will help. I don't have any reception problems, but it's always good to have more bars. You just have to make sure to stick it directly where the internal antenna is.

Anybody know exactly where the antenna is in this phone?

Anyways... I want to say thanks for all the knowledgeable people on this board who helped me learn a lot about this device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
only issue is samoled is a samsung exclusive. regular amoled has too much glare. plus slcd is cheaper.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mark925:
I had a couple reservations getting it, but I have to say I love this phone! I went from a G1 to Nexus One and now G2. This phone feels like a Nexus One but with a physical keyboard. I'm hanging onto my N1 as a companion/backup.

The G2 made me realize how much I missed having a physical keyboard....plus the radio and GPS on it seems to be superior to the N1....also being in a HSPA+ area is always a plus too. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Yeah that's definitely a problem with T-Mobile; I believe I mention that in the video. I can remember 2 years ago when I had a Sidekick I would get horrible signal while inside of buildings. I would be in class and have no signal. Now with the G2 I can walk literally 10 feet and my signal will fluctuate like crazy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rpmccormick:
I'm sending mine back and sticking with my G1 for the following reasons:

1) In the upper right corner of market, it has a link to TMobile apps instead of my Downloads (I so hate them for that!)

2) I hate the hardware keyboard / hinge slider.

a) slider slides closed while holding and typing fast

b) impossible to type < or > with hardware keyboard (even with SYM key software popup).

c) Keys too wide and letters off-center.

d) No number row sucks, too much use of function key.

e) Although the touch pad is about the same as the rolly-ball, they both suck compared to 4 arrow keys on the keyboard.

f) I also prefer the 4 function keys as hard keys instead of softkeys.

3) Battery is worse then G1 in edge-case areas (2G/3G), but I do admit battery is better then G1 in solid 3G area.

4) Notification lights. I have not known about many missed calls/texts that I would have seen much earlier using my G1.

5) Although I love the proximity sensor in theory, I guess I don't hold my phone correctly for it because I have already hit keys while talking more than I have in 2 years with the G1.

6) microUSB port on left side instead of bottom makes it impossible to hold the phone while it is charging (I am left handed).

7) Buggy, I've had a few crashes, and the camera got stuck running or something once because barcode scanner claimed it was in use and even after I tried to kill everything the battery drained from 60% to 0% within like 15 min in my pocket. Also had apps like Google Earth and some root apps lockup.

8) External speaker sounds tinny as hell.

9) You can't swap the microSD card without removing the battery.

10) Too expensive... I'll wait until my contract is fully up in march so I get a better discount, but I'm hoping there is a better GSM phone my then. If the Epic 4G worked on TMobile (or if Sprint worked at my house), I would take that over the G2 in a second purely for the better hardware keyboard design.

After all is said and done and you get CM6 or some other custom rom on your phone, all Android phones are basically the same, other than design and speed. G1 is dog slow, but it can still do EVERYTHING the G2 can, as can any other rooted Android phone. (except play flash as well, G1 hacks for flash are still lacking)
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
I am completely happy with my G2. I haven't had any major issues whatsoever, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else currently on the market. There is also nothing in the near future that I've seen (MyTouch HD, WP7, etc.) that will make me regret buying the G2. My next phone will likely be the G3!
[G2 and Desire Z General] who knows:
so what is the audio/video/camera actually like? some people have been sayings its terrible, if so can this be adjusted with software ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
I have a video up showing the recording quality at full 720p, check it out on my youtube channel.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
I also have a 720p video sample on youtube, search for "ktownva". I also took the same video with my iPod Touch 4G if you want to compare. G2 Video and camera are solid IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Yup, satisfied with the Camera. Coming from the Vibrant. I thought the Camera would be poor, but its actually pretty decent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Coming from the G1, this camera blows it out of the water. The 720p is great, very responsive (well, 30fps haha), does decent in low lighting, and quality is good. Stills are good as well, however I much prefer the Vignette app from the market - best couple bucks I've spent on an app so far.

Overall, I <3 my G2. It's an upgrade in EVERY way from the G1 (minus battery life... I had a 2300mAh). I couldn't be more happy with a phone purchase. The one thing remaining is to root, but I'd guess we'll have it in a week, thanks to the hard working XDA folks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Long winded answer: Yes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] heygrl:
The G2 obviously has radio issues. The phone switched over to EDGE at the T-Mobile store when I slid out the keyboard and started to use it (covering the antenna) and the signal was bouncing all over the place from 1 bar to 3 (-97dBm up to -111dBm) bars the rest of the time in portrait mode. The Vibrant on JI6 next to the G2 held a steady 3G signal at about -97dBm to 101 or -103dBm, and never dropped down to EDGE --- with my hand covering the antenna. No such luck with the G2. I hated that about the G1. Using it in landscape mode with the keyboard out resulted in a huge loss of signal strength.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
I sent the G2 back and switched back to my N1. Maybe when they acknowledge and resolve the storage issue I will reconsider this potentially epic device...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Talesin_BatBat:
Overall, I'm happy with it and wouldn't switch back to my G1 other than as an emergency backup. Then again, I never had an N1 so the comparison is just a /little/ skewed.

Annoyances:

-4 row keyboard. I'm irked by the quicklaunch buttons, and actively HATE the www/com button, given that the KB is missing a number of important (for SSH) keys, like < > \ | ` { } [ and ]. Similar with alt-X for the Euro sign. I'll never use it. A number row would have solved all of this.

-Wifi 'antennagate 2'. Hold the top of the phone (or the left in landscape mode) and wifi drops 20-30 dBm.. enough to go from 4 bars to zero, standing 10-15 feet from an AP. Ridiculous, and hopefully a software power saving measure gone wrong.

-Missing memory. 4GB? 2GB? Make up your minds, and unlock the other two internal gigs already.

Woulda-coulda:

-Micro-usb. Would have rather had mini-USB, and on the other side (with the camera button) so it could be propped up on a desk in landscape mode while charging, and not think I'm going to break the damn thing any time I plug it in.

-Front-facing camera. Would have been nice.

-Car/bedside dock. Give us one/both already!
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
I think I'll be returning both of my G2s.

Radio is poor (makes me want to drop T-mobile altogether)

Hinge issue (definitely feeling it)

Realized that with screen this big I don't even need physical KB. I can only imagine 4.3" screen

Random reboots (a lot of them!!!!! at least 2-3 everyday)

I'm pretty screwed though, I travel overseas a lot so I have to have GSM phone but I absolutely HATE AT&T so I'm stuck with T-mobile, yet T-mobile doesn't have the greatest phone selection (it's gettin better but I'm still waiting on 4.3" Android power house, NOT HD2) and their service is mediocre in MN at best. Oh how I wish I could switch to Verizon, all 4 lines at that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rpmccormick:
On a good note, the battery lasts ~4days if you pull the sim card :). Ive put it back in my g1, but am using the g2 on wifi at home until i ship it back tomorrow.

Vzw? Really? Id use sprint if it worked at my house. Att and vzw both cost almost twice as much per month over tmo and sprint.
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Landscape mode actually will go both ways. The trackpad can be at your left, or at your right. Most apps default to the trackpad-at-your-right, but general phone use, browser, etc will autorotate all but upside-down.
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Verizon would only be $20/month more, I could handle it if it took sim cards. Might have to look into world edition droids in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smokexz:
Well I never used the G1, but I ditched my Vibrant for this, so happy

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I felt there were just a few too many let downs with the G2. My hinge was way too loose. The speaker quality was barely better than my N1. It began to pop and crackle at just under max volume. 720p recording was not up to snuff, at least on the G2 I had. 1.2GB showed on my phone. Not a big deal, yeah. But I bought the phone with the knowledge that I'd be getting at least 3GB of space.

Like many people say, speak with your money. I returned it (still waiting for refund...) and picked up a G1 for $50. Wow is it slooooow, lol. But I'm trying very hard to hold out for a 1.2GHz+ or dual core Android device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] firebert:
can't be worst than my HD2.. can't wait until I ditch it for a G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Talesin_BatBat:
Yes, but the keyboard doesn't. With my G1, I'd just leave it open to quickly fire off responses to Trillian IMs or tweets. True, it's a minor annoyance, and there might be some kind of internal structure issue preventing the other way around from having worked. But I still see myself using the keyboard more often when it's just propped up on my desk, than when it's sitting in a car or bedside dock (once they get here... here's to hoping).
[G2 and Desire Z General] designerfx:
I was considering a G2 except for a few reasons

1: hinge concern - it's wobbly and it's going to fail

2: nand block preventing root at the moment

3: screen size
[G2 and Desire Z General] greengoldmello:
There is no "storage issue"...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Technically speaking, you're right. However, T-Mobile touted the G2 as having 4GB of rom. They should've also noted the actual available memory. 1.2GB is a far cry from 4GB.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kylez64:
imo

honestly I love the keyboard, the 4 rows dont bug me as I thought it would. I also love the multi-touch on this device over my nexus. No more axis! The G2 supports 4 fingers perfectly with no issue. Makes a huge difference in games for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dibdubious:
Very happy with the G2. Still feeling my way around the keyboard as it's a different layout than my last phone. Speed and battery life have been great. I really have no complaints about it at this moment. Root will be cool but I don't really need it with the features the next ota update is bringing.

I'm currently running Bionix 1.7. After flashing, I did a batch restore of apps + data only. Most apps restored fine. I wanted to restore Telenav and Audio Postcard. I selected them in Titanium Backup (they were under the Backup/ Restore tab with a line thru them). The problem is, it doesnt give me the option to restore. Only Backup!, Freeze!, Uninstall!, and Delete. I assume this is because these were system apps. Is there anyway I can restore these while using the JI6 firmware?
