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.

First, there are only two tabs.
Second, they are brass, not gold.
Third, I believe they are springs designed to keep the door under tension and facilitate its removal.

The ones you are talking about are on either side of the phone when you take the cover off. There are corresponding spots on the cover. Mine are a silver color. The ones the original poster asked about are indeed gold in color and number in three. I say they are there for testing purposes. A faster way to connect to the phone maybe.
The HTC carkit mount comes with a special battery door cover, that the mount snaps into, and also connects through...so it's just a guess (I don't have the carkit myself), but I'd think those are the pins that the car mount uses to pass data, or current for charging

Yes, i would say the same thing. I would guess they are for the car kit because the base of the car kit has power running through it
I would have to jump on the bandwagon on this one and say yes to the carkit feature, due to the pictures found here:

I tell this to my own children, don't take anything personal on the InterNet?,
Get what you can out of it? and filter the Trash?, and yes I am really human so on occasion I will have trash too?
If you look at the very simple "Question" I was asking? "Do You Know?" what this is? and if you do? "Please" let me and everyone who is Interested "KNOW"
If you are one of the low percentage of people who are self-aware, then you will understand this?
I spend time on the InterNet and most of that time is spent Filtering the Trash?
70% of what is written here serves no purpose? and of course there will be those who will debate? and I don't care? because it's the InterNet! need I explain that?

If we removed all the responses that weren't certain, you'd be sitting here talking to yourself right now.
Most everyone who tried to point you in the right direction did indeed mention that their answers (mine included) were speculation and not first-hand knowledge. If that isn't useful to you, we've granted all forum members the right to ignore any post they want. Yes, any. And we set it up such that you can (and should!) do so without flaming anybody
Someone truly self-aware would recognize that even if help doesn't come in the exact form requested, it's not worthy of disdain.

You are right on many things, but I was not looking for "Absolutes", I was just looking for some "Idea" for it what it might be?
and I regress in my reasoning in putting "Wrong" x3, once should have been enough, my skin became thin from just leaving a controversial site so my frustration level was all wound up?, That I apologies for.
On the matter that I would be "Sitting by Myself?" (Billy Idol,"Dancing with Myself" come to mind) , you are right!, I forgot to turn "Filter" on, so I committed same "Sin", like I said please forgive that one?, I could talk all day about how "If" people would act? but we don't live in a perfect world? actually the opposite.
and for all, as I said before, Have a Happy Great Day!
Lets now leave the Emotional part and get to the Fun Tech Part.
I did find out by talking to T-Mobile Rep Tier 2, it "Is" a Test port, has communication I/O, and can be used for Kar Kit with BlueTooth/bottom micro USB port.
The "Test port" is what I am interested because if you can talk using USB architecture then you can do other things with it? example; Robotics, card readers, Web Cams and many more?, I have been reading the Registry for any clues, or Info on this? That is why I brought up this topic?
The "Test port" is used at factory for reliability testing in a burn-in chamber that they use for getting faulty units out of the mix?
This is what I have so far? if anyone else can add pertinent info it will be greatly appreciated.

That is not an apology, it's an excuse.
You did manage to make my ignore list though. Congratulations!
Yeah, those spots are where the back cover used with the car kit connect to the car kit. I never heard of them being used for anything else, but it might be possible. I think power and audio can be sent through those. It also tells the HD2 to go into the navipanel when carkit is connected to it. When looking through the registry, look around the navipanel stuff. It would be cool if we could find some more uses for that port.
More info
I was told that the center tab is data negative and the left tab is data positive and they use case for ground, now I need to figure out how the USB interface works with this? I have been searching the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 threads for info, but have not found anything? will try the other HD2 original thread to see if anything there can help?
Maybe there is a ROM list of commands supported somewhere to help in the communication interface,
I rigged a 3 wire interface for monitoring only I don't want to put any signals in yet until I understand how it is working?and I am using a program called Boxcar to send signals out of which I can see changes but have yet to determine exact output? This is going to take some time?
Boxcar is a WM2003 program but seems to work with WM 6.5 and is good to use because of the wide variety of interfaces it can use withe the USB transceiver module, Temperature probes, pressure transducers and DAC's Digital to Analog Converters, I also have a serial module but I don't want to go that way? USB is the preferred faster interface.
But ultimately my goal is to make my own Kar Kit interface with a greater amount of control of what it does?
I had already built an Interface that works well with the Ford Sync interface on my car (I use to work for a company that built TED Air condition seats for Ford so I am familiar with the system), but that is using my Laptop and I would like to do the same using only the HD2? Baby steps.
I don't know if anyone here has the knowledge about the HD2 to help me? as it's a new device and info is minimal? I may have to wait until that info level is reached?

So the other day I was sitting in olive garden in San Diego and next to me at the bar a guy took out his Vibrant and then proceeded to connect what looked like a micro ff camera on the top of the phone using the USB connection and started to move it around as if he was showing someone on the other end where he was. Has anyone seen this besides myself.It seems like it is pretty possible.I would love to add a FFC to my vibrant.

no doubt, I would have interrupted the dude's cyber-date in a heartbeat to find out how
I doubt it was an FFC. Logically he could have shown someone the place using the RFC just as easily. I bet it was a battery boost or something.
Besides, something like that would take a good deal of development, and doubtful he was working alone and in secret on something like that.

Is it possible to hook the incredible up to a bigger touchscreen?

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..

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?

I recently had some severe frustrations with my Iconia A500.
First, it got stuck at the boot screen screen. It would only ever say ANDROID. Why did it do this? No idea. I just rebooted it one day and it would not come back up. After weeks of just sitting there, I decided to find out if there was more than just power +vol to trick it into some sort of recovery mode. There is, and a factory reset eventually got it fully booting again.
Second, the OTA update was downloaded eight or more times with the result being a claim of sort of corruption of the update file. Liars, the file was ot corrupted. I had just finished setting up my tab again and it appeared that I was going to have to do a factory reset. Again. I love redoing Angry Birds and setting up everything else just the way I like it it. Even worse, I had no guarantees that a factory reset would allow the update to work. Well, I bit the bullet. Again. A factory reset worked.
Third, I went to type a URL in the bar and lo and behold! It is impossible! You can not type a full URL in to the URL bar. You are forced to search for everything now. Yo did not notice? Tell me where the colon is. The : symbol. Ys, it is there for all operations except one: typing in to the URL bar. For some reason, they specifically remove the colon from the keyboard when the URL is in focus.
I have an ipad2 but it angers me. I can not move the cursor to the middle of any series of letters. This means that a single typo requires retyping the entire sequence of letters and symbols again. It can not be edited. I also do not like having to constantly fight to keep the hardware under my control. Why is Android moving in this direction? My boot loader is locked on my A500. They are taking away my ability to ...
Meh. Never mind. I am withdrawing from this garbage. It is like ingesting strychnine. Anyone want to buy a worthless A500 or garbage iPad 2? Both are in very good condition but neither are usable to me.
Well, first, you don't need to be typing the "http://" part of url's these days, y'know? just got from the www part (and even that is often spurious). Otherwise, perhaps it's the keyboard you're using? I have no problems typing a colon from the Thumb keyboard...
As for the bootloop, did you mod the tablet in anyway at all? That'd do it.
The download corruptions is known about and again, is usually down to people having done things to their tabs, but not always. I think the distribution servers Acer use are garbage...
Oh, and I'll give you $50 for your iPad2.
Since FloatingFatMan is taking your iPad I guess I'll have to settle for another Acer.
I'll give you 50$ for it since it's in the same price range and I wouldn't want to outbid FloatingFatMan.
Edit: I forgot to add.... We'll cover the postage so that you won't have any more expenses.

The only reason I could ever see needing the : key when manually browsing to a url is in the example you save, wanting to hit the https and not the http - use any type of basic notepad software (I use Gtasks personally), type the full URL in there, copy, paste into browser - set bookmark so you never have to do it again.
Or snag the "Hackers Keyboard" from the market: much more like a traditional keyboard complete with arrow keys (which i find usefull when posting here and not connected to my external keyboard) and you don't have to worry about vanishing keys depending on where you clicked.
As for your locked bootloader issue: we have figured that out a long time ago - clockwork mod is up and running great.
The thing I have discovered about tablets - you have to be willing to not get frustrated and put some work into it if the stock functionality is not enough for you.
Otherwise, I'll buy your a500 for $100, could use a second to trick out and give to the girlfriend as a gift
+1 for Hackers Keyboard. Been using it since it released and I'll never go back.
No colon issues here... everything flows nice and smooth. *har-har* See what I did there?
Poop jokes. awesome.

I got so lucky meeting my girlfriend - she is a digital art goddess and we both *love* gifts of tech She got me my Iconia for my birthday last month, next it's my turn to give the gift of tech geek gadgets
She actually got me into Android in the first place with my first Android phone - my first computer was a Sparc workstation in the early 1990's - so getting back to using a *nix based device makes me happy

With a picture of a pair of truck nuts on it? (;
That would be funny.

It says led chics are hot.the plate is white with hot pink letter say Erica and Bonnie forever.I also have on the back hatch a sticker that says Dumb men is what makes hot chics become. Lesbians.OK this does not belong in these forums not at all. Just trying to paint a picture.
