Lol that's great! Has anyone been able to pull up their contacts when trying to write an email?I can't seem to get contacts to come up when I want to write one of them always have to write in their name. Also has anyone had problems replying to people? I hit reply and most times I do the name comes up blank!! Very annoying!

Yah I actually been having the same problems which is extremely annoying...
why do i waste my time taking apart my htc (g1 latest) devices in order to stop them creaking when i type messages on keyboard? or try and get the movable screen level when shut instead of wobbling (and creaking) on it's axis pin?
ho hum *yawn* will i ever learn?
i think this is my last htc device that has moving parts!
... i mean, when i type, it's like im on a boat, all i need is the tide lapping at my bow ...
Yeah trying to type while g1 is charging is downright ugly!!!

Lol well i have my doubts then something restores my faith in it. I just used mikey's tutorial sticky on encoding video's and after doing it and watching lord of war and the transformers on this beautiful phone my faith in the future of the g1 is once again restored!!!
Just wondering what all the hype about root is because I have no idea what I can do with it even if i had it.
Semi-interesting Android phone (not G1)
This is a little off-topic, but it might be of some interest to Android aficionados.
http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/android-powered-kogan-agora-pro-mobile-phone/
Kogan, an Australian company, is scheduled to release the first Android phone for domestic and worldwide shipping in January. Its form factor is something like an HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash) or a Blackberry Curve running Android. But the price is the best point. The "Agora Pro" version with GPS and wi-fi will sell for AU$399 and the leaner "Agora" for only AU$299. Using Handy Calc, that comes to about US$260 (£175/205€) for the pro and US$195 (£130/155€) for the plain version.
Pros (IMHO):
Cheap
Familiar smartphone form factor with no moving parts
256MB on-board memory, 128MB flash, plus SD-card slot
624MHz processor
1300mAh battery
3G worldphone for everything but T-Mobile USA's 3G
Will work with AT&T 3G
Cons (IMHO):
Smallish resistive touchscreen
No 1700MHz band for 3G on T-Mobile in the US
Uses a joystick-like pointer instead of a more ergonomic d-pad
Same OS limitations as the G1 (bluetooth, etc.)
At least it looks more legit than the G2 phone that one company said was coming out LOL
I wonder... The phone looks alot like BlackJack III
, would it be possible to flash WinMo to the Kogan....
I like it I miss the candybar layout- a sliding keyboard that squeaks vs. no moving parts for me is a no brainer (actually the setup on the new blackberry is intriguing as well) It would be nice if the specs on the internal memory would start increasing, seeing as how cheap memory seems to be getting lately. If it worked on tmo's 3g, I would be all over it.

Haha nice, oh well I still like the Dash for now... Even though the G1 can do somethings that the dash can't.... and the 3g on the g1 is amazing... I wish there was ultimately a way to have an emulator on the g1...
Could anyone point me to the right direction of this all > What are Root, RC8, RC29 and RC30 etc. Is there a starting point on this forum about the phone, about installing apps, from market and pc (pc > dont think this is possible yet?). I was under the impression the G1 was as open as can be. Then what's the point of jailbreaking. Does the over the air update effect a G1 in The Netherlands? I've read alot, but I can't put the pieces together/in the right order, because I didn't start from the beginning. Thank you in advance.
I live in The Netherlands and we have 240 Volts coming out if the walls. In the US this is 110V if I'm correct. Is it possible to use another HTC charger bought in The Netherlands to charge the phone?
Finally got my screen to stop squeaking...
the easy way....
(this is actually a friends G1, he wont tell me how it happened, but I am pretty sure it was thrown.)

1) Go to the Developers sub-forum for the RCxx threads (more detail there than you will probably want initially, then not enough detail as you hack-away!)
2) installing apps are phone -> market or internet at the moment. I think there is a way to install from the SD card (which means PC -> SD) but I personally have not explored that method yet.
3) it is very open and will be more open in the future, this is still a "baby" phone/OS. The RC30 OTA was to stop 99% of the people from trashing their phones by mistake thereby reducing the calls to customer service. On the other hand, plain text typing from the keyboad (reboot, etc) wasn't a very good thing. We'll see improvements on this in the future. Personally, I think the term 'jailbreaking' is misapplied here, the iPhone has many more issues. As far as SIM unlocking, that is available free from TMo.
4) the OTA updates will catch up to you in the NL, I am not certain if you will get the UK version or the US version.
5)the US charger is autosensing for line voltage and accepts 110-240V AC, no need to buy another unless you'd prefer a native plug for the wall instead of the US 'spade' type.
Welcome to a great phone.
--M
Connect G1 with USB. If you're missing the USB driver, get it here. Grab a copy of adb from here. Unzip it into the folder with the apks you want to install. Open a console, navigate to the folder with the apks and adb, and type adb install xxx.apk, where xxx is the name of the apk you want to install.
Anyone want to sell a g1 or maybe trade?
Is their anyone out there that would either sell me a g1 at a reasonable price or maybe trade for a hermes plus some cash. The hermes is a cingular 8525, unlocked. I have the charger, headset, usb cable, plus I just bought a new i-mate jasjam case for it. The only thing That is missing is the front camera. If anyone is interested please let me know. I know it is unlikely that it will happen but let me know.

My jaw dropped to the ground in sheer horror on that one.
I was going to get on here and let everyone know that there "is" an x9500 selling on Amazon for $600, but by the time I got on here, it was purchased.
There were actually two, one sealed in the box, I bought that one!! So, I'm back!!!!! Not that this really means much to anyone, but I'm excited!! This time around I'm not messing around with the Shift until the warranty expires, except of course for liberating it.
SWEEETTT!!
Welcome back.
I just got my Shift back from warenty repair and it has had a replacement screen fitted, so I am feeling like I have a brand new Shift again and share your excitement!
WOE IS ME!
So, My Shift buying problems begin anew. The first time I tried buying one, it took 8 sellers before actually being shipped one. Now, on this second go around I have just been let down by the first. This is ridiculous.
Anyone know where I can get a new x9500?

Welcome to the club (again!) and here I thought nobody was trying to purchase the shift anymore. Way too outdated in my opinion but the phone function and having to be connected to the internet where ever you go makes my shift priceless.
I was planning on selling mine but honestly, I wouldn't part with it. =) I just need one more thing and that would be a mugen battery. Still planning on trying to install osx on it? =P
Well, I've got one . . .

Yeah, well . . . I am unable to find another Shift, so I gave up. Which means I'm still selling the accessories, one of which is a Mugen 6600 battery. It will be back up in the marketplace soon.
I was successful at getting OS X to boot externally, but never internally. I have all the info any one would need to take up the project. I was going to try to install it to an SD card and just have it external all the time, but since I'm not able to find a Shift . . . meh.
It's Like Riding a Roller Coaster
I found someone that is selling a Shift used - like new, so I'm giving it a try. I only wanted to buy new, but I think I can live with "like new" so long as it really is.
So, after I find out about the warranty, I'll figure out what sort of modifying/projects I want to subject it to this time around.
Me! Me! Me!

I would be interested in your notes. Do you have to have a Mac for this or can we buy any Intel OSX dvd? Is it easy to find "drivers" or whaterver they are called in Mac terminology? Which parts/buttons/devices are not working under your OSX setup?
Thanks.

You do have to have a working mac or working hackintosh (such as a Dell Mini) in order to create the USB Installer. You also have to have a retail OS X Install DVD. I was trying Snow Leopard (10.6). You should also register as a developer with Apple, for legal reasons.
I found most of the necessary kexts (drivers), to get stuff working. I got the basics working, screen, keyboard, mouse. I even got the USB Ethernet to work, but didn't have it long enough to try out anything else, i.e. bluetooth, wireless, etc. One of the biggest things that I had to overcome was screen resolution, but once I found a specific program, and ran it after installation, everything "fit" perfectly. Similarly, I was never able to get Chameleon to fit to the screen. When it came up it was just grey screen. So you have to knnow the button combinations to get it to do what you want. But I've seen other people using Chameleon on smaller screen resolutions, so I have to figure out the tweaks to Chameleon.
I'm getting my new Shift today, so depending on the status of the warranty I may or may not try this hack again. I'll let you know.
Is it possible to hook the incredible up to a bigger touchscreen? Here's what I have in mind...I have been working on plans for a center console for my truck and I have been thinking about building a dock for the phone and hook it up to an 8" touchscreen...mainly for navigation, but it would be nice to be able to control the phone without having to pic it up. If it can't be done then I can just get a monitor instead of touchscreen.
Well you could utilize the TV Out but touch capabilities probably wont happen but it is possible..
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
I was just thinking about this the other day... I searched around but couldn't find any answers.
Although mounting a tablet in the dash also crossed my mind... cost and not being able to take calls ruined that idea though..

I believe the android tablets can be made to make phone calls, that plus bluetooth and it could work
Yes they can be made to take calls... I used my Archos 101 with sipdroid and google voice as a phone for about a week. A little buggy but it works.
A tablet would cost a lot more than any other option though. I just want to know if it will work.
Anyone know the answer to this for sure either way?
WHY?

interesting indeed the things people think of on here. post pictures of your creation for us to see when you are done for i am intrigued!
I'll try to keep this updated if I do in fact build it. It might be something I work on this week if I can find the time.
looks like an interesting project... I'll have to subscribe to this one
Sent from my LiquidLight using XDA App
I have been searching and reading about UPnP and media servers etc... I can't see finding an answer without spending a whole bunch more time researching. I don't mind doing it but I am really short on time or I may loose this phone. I just got one for me and now need one for my husband. He commutes to work, 1.5 hours in a Van each way and wants to watch tv from his phone. I see that this can be done through the t-mobile tv. Now, the next step. We are trying to save money to buy a house and I am in a start up business wise... I use the internet at home to watch tv. I have one Roku and a Wii and then I watch through one computer.
We don't get the regular channels, news and some of the things that he likes to watch that I see we can get on the mytouch with the tmobile tv... can that be hooked up somehow to watch on his tv? Currently we have a 56 inch downstairs that has HDMI but that wouldn't matter for this. There is a Roku box that has a USB connection, would that work. Is there a simple answer, is this doable without spending a ton of money? Should I get him this phone. It seems the best for the price and everything... But I am doing tmobile pay as you go. What are some of the downfalls if any additionally on having this phone unlocked. Will tmobile charge me extra for things are there things to watch out for? Should it be unlocked and mod? If so can I still get the tmobile tv? So many questions. Please help. I have to get this answered, work, order battery's and a cover, charger, activate it... all of this today within the next couple of hours. Also, will square trade do a extended warranty on a private party purchased phone via Craigs list. I can call them now for that...
Any answers would be great. This is a new job for him too and he is under stress, his hours are weird, just changed to a shift that doesn't get off and home til 1:30 am, with that and dinner and then trying to fall back asleep and get up to work I don't know which way I am going!
Well, I found some answers. You can get a DG H100... a few other things. When I went to my subscribed threads I noticed that I also asked this forum a question over a year ago and not a single person bothered to respond. I have always read this forum and searched it for what seems to be intelligent and helpful people. So, clue me in. Why doesn't anyone jump in with a comment, answer or is it just that no one cares?? Any suggestions on what forum might help out a little more then?

He wants to watch TV while driving? Or maybe you mean he's a passenger.
Too much for too little?
Or, a good training partner updating from Motorola Motoactv?
This review says it's a reskinned Android 4.1.

Downside: only 3gb of free space.

Did anyone find a jailbreak or a Windows driver to get access to the watch. Support will be closed very soon, seems to be there is no possibility to download GPX tracks from the watch directly.

Also want to know!
I've been talking to Adidas, and they say that my warranty has void, so they cannot do anything about it!!! So annoying...
I threatened them about writing all over the internet the good service they provide! Anybody can help me out? Sites, places to talk real bad about this issue?
It is a shame that a super brand like Adidas don't ensure the usability of their own and expensive products, don't you guys agree?
sorry for the revival - any one know how to bypass the activation on these devices ? had my device reset and now cannot activate - since unable to get token /login...FFS!! So for folks that are still using this - don't reset device or else you'll have a nice paper weight.
haven't found anyway to put the device in debugging mode to maybe at least bypass activation so I can just use the core features (mp3/gps/HRM).
if you remove the rear cover - there is pads for UART/SPI not to sure at this stage - will have to do some digging...
Flash CHIP (4GB) is SAMSUNG KLM4G1YE4C-B001.
Just to keep everybody informed!
After many, many, but many complains on Adidas, and with the good help of the resolver . com, i got my money back after sending the watch to Germany.
The only bad thing was that had to wait for 2 months after they got the watch there, but...
Bastards
Stopping the support before the announced date - thats disgusting!
Never will buy Adidas products again!
I've used mine for several years and now its not the question of money! Still use them as HRM monitor, hoping to find the solution to download other info some day!

Could you please provide more details on how you got your money back? I was just talking to the support today and they told me to speak with Runtastic (why ever, since I doubt that they took over the software development for the watch).

Yeah, they also told me that, but i fought against that argument because i bought it on Adidas (had a proof of that with me) and not on Runtastic, whatever that companies sells, so my complaint was against Adidas.
Also opened a case on Resolver.co.uk, which did help.
And threatened them al the time to spread the news about this nasty behaviour of Adidas All Over the Internet!
Much efforts, but they did compensate at the end.
Hope this can help you

Thanks a lot - guess that's the only thing I can do right now.
From a technical point of view I'm still wondering, why they didn't publish a possibility, to let the issue get fixed by the community (of course I'd expect a company like Adidas to fix it by themselves, but that oviously didn't happen). I'd assume that they change shouldn't be that big, since only the upload target has to be changed - or am I mistaken? And even in the case, that they don't want to publish any details on the watch OS or the app running ontop, it should have been possible to just create a website that accepts MiCoach logins that are trying to publish acitivites and just forward them to the Runtastic site.
Either approch would be better than just pissing off all the people who payed a lot of money for the watch.
Still noone found a possbility to download GPX (or any different format) files? Think this is the only thing which is missing to run standalone ... meanwhile I've many unsynced runs on my(our) watch(es).
