i was looking on the HTC site yesterday and there was an htc wizard there.
now that i look on the same site i discoverd some changes there
and some phone with gps capability on the end of the page
check it out : http://www.htc.com/product/03-products-11.htm#2
"wizards end ?" <-- thats probably the worst title you can get.. and what're you trying to tell us here?
From what I read, you seems to have just **discovered** that now phone has GPS. That's fine with me, but 'Wizard end?' ??
I asume he meant that the WIZARD is now discontinued? Well, maybe discontinued in SELLING but people still like to use the tiny little WIZ ... Yeah!
Wizz is so cool, thats right... in fact i cant believe i didn't know it a year ago. i was a vary big fan of nokia then and always. now my friends who know me well laught at me, at my reaction when someone says 'nokia' in front of me ;] hehe, it's funny how people can change;] seriously, i don't know what i'm gonna do when my wizard goes apart and there will be none of them in stock... i just don't know...
Then there is still the TyTn and his childrens - what ever will come afterwards! And for Nostalgics: eBay (even if I hate that place! More and more rip-off's there)
Hello everyone,
yes i am a new user and subscriber. i purchased the wing about a month ago and so far i like it, but there are some things that i need to address. first, there is a memory problem that from what i have read, is common. i have a 2Gig microSD and most of my videos are on there. i am using TCMP to play movies. i was wondering what to use to get the best speed and usability out of my wing. what is safe to delete to make this thing race. again, i am just getting into the terminology (kitchens, cookbooks etc.), so please bear with me. a quicky, how do i get to the registry? and does the iphone theme really work good for this phone?
thanks everyone for any help

I suggest a custom rom. The T-mobile stock rom is not very good. I'm currently using Open Touch 4.0 by TTRAN and im loving it!
I'm a new Wing user also. I've had mine for a few days and i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to the rom's and making your phone look completely different. I read a little, but to someone who doesn't know all that lingo.. it's like a foreign language somewhat.. lol. Not that bad, but you know what I mean. I'm sure i'll figure it out eventually, but as of now? I'm clueless. I was told I need to HARD SPL my phone or something and I have no idea what that means or how to do it, lol. I downloaded a few things and got them to work though. But like I said, that's it.
Follow instructions. I understand people don't want to potentially "break" their phone ... but this stuff is TOO easy. Don't be scared of it.

Yeah. Well I was gonna ask you for some help (you seem to like helping people and you seem to know what you're talking about), but I can imagine how many people do that. I know how it is to be asked how to do stuff when it's very easy to begin with. I've been an admin on online games and stuff, so that part I understand. There just seems to be so many things you can do to this phone and to most people, they probably have no idea where to begin.
I was able to download a few cab's and get them to work, which was cool. I have my Wing overclocked right now at 247 I believe. Then I have a few other nice things. I use the Palringo for AIM and that's nice. I can't wait to change the overall look though. I'm not just confused on how to do it in general, but i'm also wondering whether or not you're supposed to use certain .cab's with certain rom's and all that. Ya know?

Find out which rom your interested in using and you will usually find a faq and instructions on how to flash the rom on the first post. I use Open Touch and followed the instructions to the T on my first flash and had no problems. Like Duprade said it really isnt that hard. Dont let the big bold red messages scare you. The cooks are just covering their behinds just in case you miss an instruction and brick your phone.
islinx, whats overclock? you are in the same boat as i am (glad to have you). i have also installed some roms, but i am ready for the big facelift now. i will do some searching and try to find a cool & simple look. i ran across a "show your today screen" post, but i lost it. they had some really really nice ones. i'll check back later. thanks for all the posts.

Check the thread with all the .cab files and you'll find the download to overclock your phone.

Look up battery status to find what your looking for.
I will be home from my trip to MIAMI tomorrow ... so who ever needs help or questions answered, just catch me online and IM me and i'll give you a hand.
Doesn't matter anymore, lol. I deleted everything off the phone, put the plastic back on and i'm sending it back today. As much as I LOVED the phone, i'm not gonna keep it and feel like I got ripped off. I used a promotional code when I got the phone. That was the reason I was getting the phone at this point in time to begin with. If I wanted to pay the normal $300 for the phone + activation, I would of went to the store and got it THAT day. But I called over the phone with a promotional code to get the Wing for $100 after $50 rebate, free activation and a free bluetooth headset or car charger. The customer service rep. told me the promotional code was taken and I was all set. I'd get my phone within 4 days. I did get it 4 days later and yesterday I called them back just to make sure the promotional code took effect and I was getting some money back.
Long story short, I must of got transferred like 7 times on the phone and I was on it for about an hour. Nobody knew what to say and I had to explain my situation each time. The customer service lady basically lied to me because the promotional code all of a sudden isn't a working one. I've seen other people online use the same code and it worked for them. Recently too. Big surprise there. If I wasn't saving money for a new car in April, I would have kept the phone. But a couple hundred dollars makes a huge difference.
Thanks for your help anyway though.
WM Gotta luv it!
Whats wrong with this thing?
help i cant do this or that?
how do i?
text wont input right?
new software is laggy?
how come it wont?
how does this or that work?
tried this but still wont work?
stuck in boot?
ths wont play?
that wont tether?
will they replace this?
gps wont?
howcome everytime?
search, search, search where is info on this or that? (did you do a search?) YES, I have wasted 3 hours searching and that damn thing still wont work!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
and so many many many many many more.............
everyone could add items to this and we would al waste years of out lives doing just that cause it will never end..............
No wonder we are all so strung out frustrated and at our wits end and sometimes acting like as*es in our posts, we type how much we love these devices, then after we click submit thread and pick up our pda we go fu*k what the he*l is wrong with this thing now????????
Well i guess just keep soft resetting and flashing roms and installing, uninstalling, hard resetting, and backing up and restoring and and and and and and and and............... ;()
am i coming? am i going? what day is it? what time is it? what what what what????????
When i came from a standard cell phone to a pda I have since said there is no way i would go back, ssssssooooooooooo I guess just rip out my hair, smoke like a chimeny make another pot of coffee and spend more time F'en this thing than actually enjoying it....
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find that having a girlfriend can help alleviate the phone problem thing. Or you could always just sell it and go back to a feature phone. Been a whole lot of whining lately, people with phones doing things it shouldn't, not doing things it should, or just plain not doing anything at all. Getting near christmas, all sorts of things start to go awry this time of year. Maybe a company sonspiracy to get people to buy new devices? heh.
Hi everyone
I've been babying this idea for a while now. My mother is completely retarded when it comes to electronics and she can barely operate her clam-shell Nokia so I'm thinking of dumming down my spare G1 to a point where she can use it. I know it may sound stupid to some but G1 has 1 main advantage over dumb phones and that is that it has touch screen. My mom wouldn't have highlight anything to select, she can just touch what she sees.
I am looking for some ideas and/or advice, I don't expect any help, just want to see what people think about this. Here's what I plan on doing:
Downgrade to donut or better yet, cupcake.
Remove All apps.
Remove bluetooth, data and wifi modules (possible? how to?)
Install ADW launcher and downgrade it to 1 homescreen.
Place shortcuts to most basic functions (SMS, Dialer, Camera, Pictures Settings, etc) on that 1 screen
Metamorph drawer handle to be transparent so she doesn't go in there.
Anything else?
With all that stuff removed, the phone should be extra fast and battery should last pretty long (I would guess over 2 days)
What do you all think?
Don't forget to explain to her what all of the buttons do. And if you can, turn off the camera button in case she accidentally presses it.

Good points.. although I think that G1's buttons are self explanatory and she actually uses camera once in a while.
Man, for me to say this is like needles in my eyes, but i realized the best phone to get for ppl like that(my mom is one, and she has the phone now) is actual the iphone, that phone was really made for slow, or non technology ppl, i should here how to surf the net make a call and check her email, and she was quick to pick up on there cause all buttons right there and in obvious place...
the iphone is really made for the slow simple people, thats why so many like it
her previous phone was the simple simple dial and call phone nothing fancy it was like those prepaid phones for like 30 bucks, and she could handle it cause buttons where small and any other reason to complain about.. for here there no real buttons to only 3 buttons home and 2 volume buttons everything else was jus there couldnt miss the big GREEN call sign or the big RED end send
Ha-ha, that's funny. I would get one for my mother but iPhone still has too much stuff in it and no way to mod it. On the other hand, I have 2 spare G1s that I can play with until they are easier to use then your average dumb phone lol
Keem em coming guys (and gals)
I'd unroot to 1.0 and leave it there, lol.

Yea, iPhones are actually a great stepping stone into the smartphone world for people who aren't very tech savvy. I'm pretty sure anyone could learn to use one fully after a while of playing with it. Of course, this boils down to your service provider.

Yes and no. My folks don't need/want smart phone and I don't feel like paying another $60 for data plans for them. The idea of "poof and hide" is great though... advanced launcher does the same thing as far as I know but I wouldn't even want them to know that there's drawer, only the shortcuts on main screen.
lol might aswell just a get a clone phone with all functions broken

once agian the beauty of that, dont need a data plan for the iphone, ad again my mom jus uses it as phone she has no data on the phone, and the plus side of it there is no drawer on the iphone only icons, and 3 main buttons total,
i dont like the iphone at all, but for a starter and simple phone that any dunce can use it is the best pphone to get

You care to elaborate on that? Does iPhone not do background data at all? That might be an option... those 1st gen iphones are pretty cheap nowadays.
No, she owns a 3g and doesnt do background.. it doesnt even have background data... unless you enable push notification, not only that my buddy owns a 3gs and he has no data, an using tmobile on it.. iphone doesnt really need data, it can use wifi.. but yea there lot ppl that dont have data, and can still use iphone.. just food for thought
i have been clearing out my garage and came across two myTouch phones from the T-Mobile network .. anyone want them ?!? i am no longer coding on them and they are pretty outdated yet if anyone wants them let me know
I'd love to take them.
