[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
As the title says, I have been thinking about trading my MT3G 32B for a T-Mobile G1. I figure that the G1 is probably a better phone for me, since I do a ton of texting, and don't have a bunch of apps installed (only about 25).

What are your opinions? Do you think it would be a good idea to switch from a MyTouch to a G1?

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Why wouldn't you switch to a newer generation android device, rather than the first android device? I mean, the g1 is still a great device, I loved it, but newer phones are significantly faster and can run more apps more efficiently.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
Yeah, I know. But I'm waiting for my upgrade, which is in September. And I figured that I could probably just trade my MT3G for a used G1, and barely have to pay anything, because they're practically the same phone.

And I don't really have a whole lot of money, since I'm just 17 and don't have a job. Haha.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
it would probably be a good idea :)

the g1 is only mildly harder to work with rootwise than the MT3G 32B because of spl's and such, but besides that, if you dont need lots of apps theres not really a downside.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
I don't think SPLs and stuff would be a problem, since I've already flashed those on my MT3G. Also, I just rooted my brothers G2, and I know that is harder to root than a G1.

Also, would there be any noticeable speed difference between the MT3G and the G1? Or is the only difference having less storage space for apps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Well, for whatever reason, the g1 does not clock as high stably, so that's a minor downside, but other than that they are the exact same chipset and board. So there's prettymuch no difference except for the keyboard. As long as trading it wouldn't affect your ability to get an upgrade in september there isn't really a downside. However, if trading for the g1 would eliminate your ability to upgrade in september I would just stick with the mytouch for 10 months and deal with it till you can get a newer gen phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
Yeah, I should probably check on that first. Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
If you aren't trading/buying the g1 from tmobile, like if you get it off of craigslist or something, then it wouldn't affect your upgrade capability, but if you get it from tmobile it will. My friend just gave me a mytouch slide a few weeks ago, but I can still upgrade in september since I didn't get the phone from tmobile
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
Yeah, I wasn't planning on getting it from T-Mobile anyway. I was thinking about just buying a G1 on eBay, and then maybe selling my MT3G. There are some G1's on there that are in pretty good condition, and are only about $50.

Thanks for the replies, however i do not want to reflash a new rom so im probably just going to go with that zip file. So steven, does it only go in 10% increments or any number? And are there absolutely no issues with it? Is it in sync with what setcpu says the battery level is it? Theres a ton of uploaded zip files throughout the thread, which one do you use? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nijnvy:
Which Rom are you using? If your phone is rooted, I remember I flashed a circle battery mod once for 2.1 that went up and down in increments of 1% .. this is when I was running Villainrom 12

EDIT: I did some searching for you, for VR 12 I flashed the cd_battery_circle.zip http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7477040&postcount=51 .. give it a go .. remember Nandroid backup in case you dont like it, or its not compatible .. :)

Greetings walkinhotdog,

On checking the framework.apk back up i have the images go up 1% at a time,

I have never had a issue with this,

I only have a backup of the framework.apk as my mate and i also make some custom images that were a nightmare to get working.

But with the Circle battery i just flashed the update.zip and it worked grand.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
nijnvy & Steven_belfast. Thank you guys so much. Im running Kimera2.1 and flashed the CronosDroid zip file and its looking great so far. Hopefully no conflicts. The Cronos and Villain versions look pretty much the same in the screenshots so i jus randomly picked one to flash. I really appreciate the help

Well the cronosdroid one was stuck at 100% forever, so i flashed the villain one on top of it. works like a charm now

[Epic 4G General] alaron:
I'm about 2 weeks in with my Epic. I love the phone, so I'm not going to get rid of it. I am having some issues and I wanted to ask you guys before I go back and get a replacement.

My top complaints:

1. Slider wobble. I'm pretty good about opening and closing the keyboard with two hands, so I'm not sure why it's wobbling. The left side is ok, but the right side (if help in portrait with the keyboard closed) wobbles a bit.

2. Dust in crevices. Not under the screen (yet?) But in the entire border of the screen, between it and the bevel. Not terrible but will it get worse?

3. Tinny earpiece. It rattles a bit on the high volumes. The speakerphone actually sounds better.

4. Charge time. If I'm using the phone and I'm connected to USB, I don't think it charges at all.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Most epics will have slight wobble. If it is severe wobble then get it replaced.

The phone wont charge on usb bc when we use it it uses more power than it takes in so that's why.

Dust in crevices can be easly cleaned can't it? idk why it ned to be replaced for that problem

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I exchanged my first Epic because of a buzzing/rattling speaker at high volumes. Maybe test out another one before knowing for sure it is a defect (not just preference).
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
You have 30 days to get a perfect phone, so use that. The speaker alone would justify the return.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
It took me a few returns before a got a perfect one. I wouldn't keep a phone with flaws. Return it and get one thats perfect.

Just a note, funny thing is, my perfect phone came in a form of a remanufactured phone from sprint using TEP
[Epic 4G General] alaron:
I replaced it this morning. Both the wobble and the earpiece are better!
[Epic 4G General] rjpaez:
Return it for a new 1. I went through about 5 Epics before coming across 1 with the best build quality. Keep in mind that I babied my first phones and they all eventually started to have a severe wobble when opened, and a vertical wobble (up down) when closed. These phones will wobble slightly when closed (screen will be a little loose from the keyboard) by design. With that said I've had this phone for about 3 months, don't baby it at all (but I do take care of it) and it's just as sturdy like the day I got it, no wobble at all. I wouldn't recommend a case since those might actually lend a hand in creating a noticeable wobble. If you're still under the 30 return policy... use it, it's your phone, your money, get the most out of your purchase :)

Yes you should, with an EVO

If your having trouble getting ROM Manager to flash your recovery, this is how to do it manually through ADB.

1. Download this file. http://db.tt/hWI840z

2. Rename the file to recovery.img

3. open a command prompt/terminal window and navigate to the location that you saved the file to. c:\path\to\recovery.img

4. type adb reboot bootloader

5. once booted into fast boot, back in the cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

when its done reboot and then back in cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot reboot.

after reboot type adb reboot recovery and you should boot into clockwork. Make a nandroid and go find a custom rom.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] QMAN101:
Because lots of people don't know DOS and may even have directories with spaces making navigation difficult, I use one modification to your number 3.

If you navigate in windows (assuming you're using windows) to the directory that has the recovery.img file, go up one level, hold down the shift key and right mouse click on the folder containing the recovery image. Select Open Command Window Here from the menu that pops up. Now you no longer have to navigate in DOS. I know that this works on Windows 7 but none of my machines are running Vista or XP to verify on those versions.

Trouble using ClockWork

I have unrooted my device and installed clockwork firmware three times. All it does is bring up t mobile mytouch 4g, then it stops loading.

I tried clicking on the link to try via abd but the link does not allow me to download it. Any help would be apprecited.

Fixed it

I found the file on the internet, took me a little but found it and that fixed the problem, thanks to all
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mr.tenuki:
not 100% sure that it will work, but you can try the following:

1. copy the file to the root of your sd card and rename it recovery.img (renaming not necessary, just makes life easier)

2. open terminal and type 'su' then hit enter

3. type 'flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img' then hit enter

4. type 'reboot recovery' then hit enter and you should go to CWM recovery.

This method worked for me on the mt3g, not sure it will work on mt4g but I don't see a reason for it not to.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
It will if flash_image is in /system/bin. Its not there on the stock rom.

Hey, I literaly just craeted this account so call me a noob if you will. Now, the closest thing to rooting was jailbreaking for me so I'm not a complete nub at computers. Anyways, I wanna temproot but since visionary was taken from the market, idk what version (ex. R13) to use. Will the version matter with the ota update? Cause I REALLY REALLY don't wanna screw up my g2 as I just got it today via amazon wireless. And also, is there any free WIRELESS TETHERING as in not usb or pda net, but as a hotspot without tmo charging (I have unlim date) any help appreciated! thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
just install visionary.apk using the manual install method, you can use adb to push it to your sd card or use the much easier approach and stick it on your sd card via usb connection then open it with a file browser of your choice on the phone. There is also a wifi tether/bluetooth tether app that has been around for a while that you can find more info on here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Best of luck!

just a side note: I don't know if tmobile is actually charging for this tether service. I was never informed of a charge for it besides the hype on these forums and have been using the OTA (over the air) update that included it and have seen no change in my billing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Welcome to android!

In the do not post non-development related questions in the appropriate forum. Since you're new and all I'll let it slide without getting too mad. I'll put this as simple as it gets.

1. DOWNLOAD this file onto your computer.

2.Hook up your USB calble, pull down the notification bar, select usb storage, and hit mount.

3. Open up your computer's download folder and find the apk (app) you just downloaded, and drag it onto the root of your sdcard.

4. Unmount storage and unplug USB.

5. Hit home button, then go to menu -> settings -> applications -> check unknown sources (to install from sdcard), then go to development -> check USB debugging

5. Go to your market and download a file manager. There's a lot of choices in there, so I recommend maybe astro or linda file managers.

5. Open your file manager, open your sdcard folder (it might default to there), navigate to where the app is and select it.

6. It will ask wether you want to install. Select yes of course and let it do its thing.

7. Open the visionary app itself, and hit Temproot now. It will take a minute.

8. You should be rooted now! If you want to install the tether app, just do the same thing again with the link dietotherhythm provided. Put app on sdcard, open file manager, install, tether. You will be asked for SU permissions on the tether app, just select remember and okay (you'll see what i mean when you open the app). I suggest you look at some of the guides on how to set up ADB and such, and when you're familiar enough you do the permaroot and install one of the custom roms (cyanogen is amazing, sense has a different UI, etc). GL lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hwoarang747:
Ok thanks so much! I haven't been on android since my g1 a year ago. Anyways, will the ota have any effect on overclocking? Because i ve read that the kernal and stuf are different, needing a new script or something. Or can I just download set cpu and am I good to go? Also does this temproot have any chance of bricking my phone? Thanks again for your help!

PS: and at dietotherythm, are you not being charged for the wireless hotspot feature in the settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastludeh22:
Temp root is safe. Do NOT perm root with visionary, there is a chance of bricking with that. When your ready to perm root use rage via the sticky on here.

As far as oc, you just need to use the module for the OTA kernel. Run the script, then use setcpu. Once your perm root, you have much more oc/uv/ov options.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hwoarang747:
Ok thanks! But with temprooting, do I need to unroot before I turn my phone off or is it ok to just turn it off and reroot when I turn it back on? And can I use z4 root from the market?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamZzz:
Don't know about this z4 of which you speak.. I'm already rooted. (I actually used Visionary but had done a manual temp root so mine sort of had a combination of methods used. LOL)

As for your other question, NO you don't have to unroot before rebooting/powering down you phone. You just shut it off like normal and when it reboots, root is gone until you temp root again.

I had a previous thread asking about the wifi tether app. I downloaded version wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14 and installed it... seemed to work when I locked onto it using my computer. It recognized it as an ad-hock network I think (in windows it shows 3 monitors connected in a triangle) to use it but it worked fine. Now while trying to find the SSID I assigned with my Verizon Galaxy Tab it doesn't show. Any ideas or settings I'm missing to link the 2?

I would greatly appreciate any help.
[Fascinate General] joebob652:
The tab and most other mobile devices won't recognize ad-hoc network connections. However, you can adjust the settings, using info in a post on this site, to use the stock 3G Hotspot app in AP/infrastructure mode and your tab would connect with no issues.
[Fascinate General] steb0ne:
Maybe u should probably try a different version.... I have 2.0.5-pre11 installed on my Evo; and I tether with my Sprint Galaxy Tab no prob.
[Fascinate General] ignitros:
I'll try that and post back to let you know.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
The version you use likely won't have any effect. The HTC Incredible and EVO seem to have the ability to present themselves as infrastructure mode access points with the wireless tether application, whereas other devices, like the Galaxy S phones do not. I could, of course, be wrong on some of the technical details, but I don't believe I've heard of anyone being able to tether another Android device to a Galaxy S device wirelessly, due to the ad hoc limitations. If somebody finds a way and proves me wrong, then great! But as I said before, I don't think any currently available version of Wireless Tether can do it, nor can the alternate Barnacle app.
[Fascinate General] ignitros:
No go with any of the builds of the wi-fi tether app. My Galaxy Tab just won't show it listed when searching for the SSID. Not sure what to do other than a USB or bluetooth link. sucky!
