The description for this forum is wrong!
It's either HTC Dream OR T-Mobile G1 and NOT some hybrid HTC G1
Even the wiki says that the names for the device are HTC A71XX / HTC Dream / Android Dev Phone / T-Mobile G1 -- again, no HTC G1.
Just thought I'll point that out...
cool never noticed that
Mine's called "Gary".
I thought "Google G1" was OK too, but the trademark ownership on HTC site says:
Google, Android, Android Market, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Google Search and YouTube are trademarks of Google Inc. T-Mobile and the magenta color are federally registered trademarks of Deutsche Telekom AG. G1 and T-Mobile G1 are trademarks of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

Google G1 does not make much sense as G standts for Google as far as I know, so it would mean Google Google 1
I feel like such an idiot now going around posting everywhere with "HTC G1" in my signature.
Changed.
Are you serious? Well, sorry for that, I've just pointed that out for fun.
Still wondering if forum admins will react...
I also noticed that when you go into settings > about phone it says 'T-Mobile G1" too.
I noticed this a while back, just couldn't be bothered to make a thread about it. I agree with Karolis that HTC G1 makes absolutely no sense at all.

I hope you're talking about your phone =P
I've noticed it since the Dream forum was created, but at that point no one was really sure about the name and later it didn't bug be.
It doesn't bug me now either, I was just in the mood for a new thread
To be fair the phone is actually referred to as the HTC G1.
Infact, when in a T-Mobile store complaining about their lack of MiniUSB to 3.5mm headphone adapters (they don't sell any AT ALL despite the G1/G2 Touch being their flagship phones) I was told to search for a HTC Adapter because the official name is the "HTC G1" (to be honest, you'd have to be stupid to not know the phone is made by htc so I don't even know why he mentioned that)
But referred to != it is
I mean HTC is the company that makes them and G1 is a registered trademark of T-Mobile, just like someone has already mentioned.
such a pointless thread.

sorry to see this the 32b mytouch got me started on Android. You will be missed.
the thing that pisses me off the most is the guessing game as to when it will officially be updated (it will NEVER HAPPEN). we were supposed to get one when the SLIDE came out, now its ticketed for september. i mean, the Mytouch on Rodgers just got 2.1. WHAT THE ****! its just BULL**** T-MOBILE. ABSOLUTE BULL****. thank god for cyanogen man. thank god
Since when did Rogers HTC Magic get 2.1?
Can you show me a link?
I don't think the myTouch 3G's 2.2 update is out of the book just yet.
EOL means they won't sell it anymore. Untill they say end of updates I don't think 2.2 is out of the books just yet. It's definitely on lifesupport at this point in time.
EOL means they'll no lonnger sell them, manufacture them, provide updates, anything.

crazy ass motherfaka
to be a sign that Android 2.3 is almost there, Facebook for Android and Twitter apps should have been released for Android 2.3, not just an update for Android 2.2, I guess
Considering the twitter app was developed inhouse at google, I'm going to say yup.
The only reason I can see them creating new Facebook and Twitter apps *FOR* 2.3, would be because they had new features that would only work on 2.3.
Since they've already released it for 2.2, that means no new features, so what would be the connection between the apps and 2.3?

Why do you need signs? 2.3 is almost here. Gingerbread statue is unrevealed, new API levels were shown so... it's definitely "almost" here.

Early look at the overall look of the OS.
Since neither Twitter or Facebook really follow the look of the OS, I doubt it.

Twitter was done internally at google in an attempt to show where the OS will head in terms of asthetics post-froyo.
It was done as a proof of concept.

So you're saying all of Android / all the Google Apps will look like the new Twitter?

It's a possibility the design cues will be similar.
We've seen the "thin line" and flatter buttons look on voice search already.
Gmail has those same dividers. The flat palette is also there (when you delete an email you get a green dropdown with white text).
The assets recently dug up inside of the latest Gmaps apk shows the squarer look.
Google has been minimizing resource dependency on all fronts. Removing gradients from images will have a great impact on image assets being pushed over networks (this has more to do with web apps than android apps, but I digress). They have a certain "look" that you can pick up from in all of their products, and it's making it's way into android.
What I meant by early look, is that the team putting the twitter app together has alreayd been working with gingerbread, and possibly honeycomb already.
Personally, I think all the nexus 2 talk has pushed gingerbread to a second thought in the nexus forums. As for gingerbread itself... it will get here when it gets here.
OMFG. I just realized the 2 and 3 buttons are next to each other on my laptop. That must mean 2.3 is coming soon!

Facebook and Twitter are for teenagers and twenty-somethings. Like the famous last words of John Wilkes Booth, "useless useless" .
Someone one facebook, credible friend of mine, posted he just got the update to 2.3 on his phone.
I asked him what phone he has, he hasn't responded yet.
Looks like OTA is hitting phones!

Did you have the opportunity to accept or decline it
or
Did it update without your knowing?
Does it make the software on out any better lol
nah i dont even know how it happens i was updating the facebook and it just change.... try to update any of your apps to see ...
Noticed my HTC flip clock's weather was on the fritz so I opened the market to see if it was some sort of Google issue and there was the new market. Not hating it but it is a bit cluttered. Seems just as snappy as the old one which is good. I read a few complaints about it being sluggish.

My weather widget is all screwed up too, showing 0 degrees as the current temp with no graphic or date.
Same here for location being down same time I was pushed the new market.
The market, I don't like it much, I pefer the tabs right now. Colors are fine, I like the fade effects.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Weather app is now working for me again. Real temp is 9 degrees here, not much better!
So is "My Downloads" gone? I see "My Apps", but in "My Downloads" after flashing a new ROM I'd see updates for all the stock applications in "My Downloads" and I don't see that under "My Apps". Made it easier to update (etc. GMAIL, Voice Search, YouTube, etc.).
Edit: Nevermind it looks like it just took it a few minutes.

It's not that tough. You're probably using more brain power pretending and tricking your brain into not understanding.
Ive had the new 2.2.6 market for about a week.. I like that it has a scrolling gallery of apps on the top and the colors are nice

My market still didn't update i tried clearing cache and data in the manage applications and still a no go even tried factory resetting
Not seeing it myself. Haven't tried forcing the update yet, not sure how I feel about the looks of the market from the screen shots ... until it's bumped to me ...
I mainly just want the new Maps ... weren't people saying that was coming today? Or was that just unhealthy speculation?
I emailed HTC regarding the Picasa Web Albums plugin not working correctly on my DHD. I get the error message advising my Google account is not linked to Picasa Web Albums, which it is!
Anyway, they replied to me with the below email and thought i should share this.
Dear scotia_rfc,
Hello scotia_rfc and thank you for getting in touch with us about Picasa and HTC Sense.com
Just to let you know that the problem is not with your device or your Google account or even the Picasa applications, but with HTC Sense.com
The problem with HTC Sense.com is that it is not yet a fully functioning website and the facilities on it are relatively unstable and constantly being turned off as and when the IT gurus need to play with the coding.
HTC have decided that they would allow the public access to the website so that they could see it and get used to the new functions and facilities provided by the website.
I do apologise if this has caused you any inconvenience and I have already escalated this issue up to our Marketing and Development team for investigation.
I hope that this has answered your questions, if you have any more problems or questions in the future please do not hesitate in getting in touch with us again.
All the best,
Carl.

Thanks for the info. That's quite interesting, but good of them to admit that it is really a beta and not the final product.
Shame they didn't say that earlier, but still good of them to admit it. I do like HTCSense.com, it's a very good idea. Hope it settles down eventually.
I got. The. Same error with flickr i just installed leedroid 1.4.1 and then i don't have any ota error?

All very well being honest about the website issues but it shouldn't have been launched if it's not ready for primetime.

That's not a smart thing to say for HTC. The Desire HD and Desire Z / G2 were advertised heavily with the HTCSense.com website and all that had to offer, the main benefit to me being security and additional widgets from HTC at a later date, and now some CS guy says, "Sorry, yeah, it's beta so it's to be expected"? I don't buy that one bit.

If they are "allowing us to see what i looks like" then they shouldn't be advertising this as feature. I'm sure we could all demand a refund as we have been sold something that doesn't work.
What total crap, of course they haven't allowed us to see what it looks like. It just doesn't work!

I wouldn't go so far as to say they shouldn't have launched it, maybe a whopping great Beta sign on the front...
Just not a perpetual Beta like some of the old Google sites used to be, remember how Google docs was beta for what seemed like forever.
Omg you guys are like vultures, HTC has neva hid or denied the fact that sence.com and HTC Hub is in beta, WTF is all ur problems? Do people have a go at microsoft when they release an alpha, beta or rc version of windows. Just cuz everything dosent work? Talk about ungrateful

Last time I looked HTC weren't advertising HTCSense.com as a beta service - in fact the service is central to their marketing for this device. To claim otherwise is just retarded.
HTC have only fessed up under pressure from disappointed users. Seekdroid FTW btw.

Would you prefer it if HTC didnt do a public beta? They could do an inhouse beta, and when sence.com is ready next year, they could release it for the new devices, obviously the DHD wouldnt be one of thoes devices! Atleast by being the testers we are ensuring that we will get the full version of sence.com when it goes final....

But that's the point: HTCSense is being marketed as a live service - not a beta - and is clearly defective.

No but they at least have the curtesy to market it as beta. No where on htcs site does it say BETA. In fact its pretty much the pillar of there marketing for the DHD.
Oh and btw when paying nearly 500 for a handset and expecting the functions to work aint ungratefull chump go buy a car with no wheels then try not to complain.
