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.
Yes i'm giving away my old Universal.
i'll even help with shipping
i've upgraded to the TOUCH HD, and want to leave my Uni to someone that could benefit.
the way i figure it, i've loved it since i had 3 years ago and if it wasn't for the hard work of the cookers who cracked the updates and even WinMo6, i would have been a lot less happy.
they're very responsible for a lot of the productivity and fun i've had along the way, which i've payed forward. now this is a little direct payback .
The forum members have been great support too, and this community has been a constant source that fuels the evolution of our Uni's.
Included is :
1) HTC Universal G3 (very good condition)
2) 2gb SD card
3) USB to Mini-USB (for data and charging)
4) Tomal's 8.2 ROM (excellent)
5) 2 stylus' (replacement for the original i wore out!)
6) replacement battery (bought 2008, 1600MaH. original wore out)
*pics upon request*
I'd like it to go to one of the cookers that may need an new/extra Uni for testing, so that it can help with their efforts in supporting the rest of the Uni lovers here.
if there are no takers from any of the cookers, i will happily leave it to anyone else that wants it
now, how do you get it? simple.
for ONE WEEK i invite any cookers to PM me or post here their interest here in a free Uni.
if no cookers want it, then i'll accept interest from anyone else that cares to have ask for it.
p.s.
my partner upgraded to a Samsung Omnia, if anyone wants a free Nokia 7710 give me a prod
I'll take both, cover shipping, and give you something for your troubles if you u have them.
-Mc
I am very interested!
Hope you consider this request
%Thanks in advance
some people already PM'ing and posting here.
i'll keep the option open for a single week to let more prospective people get a chance as i want the devices to go to the best person for the greater good.
all people responding are automatically "on the list" to be chosen.
happy bidding (wait, wrong website)
greeting from hong kong
looking for replacement for my uni. my uni RIP need to rewrite boot loader
first i have to say that you must be the kindest soul in the human race to want to give your handsets FOR FREE and not sell them on ebay..
and second becouse i loved it,becouse i admired it and becouse i cant live without a touch screen and i want it like mad.. PLEASE SEND ME THE NOKIA
cheers.
ps
i live in london
well i believe the small amount of money i could sell it for on Ebay (a few hundred dollars AU) and how i could invest that much money, compared to some that can actually use a free device for the greater good is no comparison for me.
there's an Ebay sale HERE where the person has a great offer for a complete Uni with accessories, for a reasonable price.
seriously the value of a few hundred bucks means little to me compared to the value of the device in the best hands.
think of it like:
*giving $300 to a starving stranded man on an island.....or giving him a $50 picnic hamper.
*or, a wealthy person giving $10 to someone in need, compared to a poor person giving $10 to someone even more in need.
there are many energy forms of value, depends who you're relating to and how. that much money in my life isn't worth much, those devices in other lives could mean a lot.
So there's no loss for me, i've already gained enormously from the device and i already have a replacement. i have an efficient upgrade.
someone can benefit a free device/s and gain enormously. an efficient upgrade too.
just sharing the energy

well consider yourself on the list simply by your interest
i'm glad there are people wanting the Nokia, i thought it would be difficult to find interest as it is a phone that not many people liked when it came out.
i'm happy these devices will goto good homes

Hello, that's a very generous thing from you, there should be more people like you out there
I would like to have your UNI, but reading the forums here I saw theseas's posts about being scammed by shakal007, so it seems he lost his UNI. I don't know, but maybe he could get a replacement by you If he wanted, of course....

Put it in bootloader mode. You can see small note at the bottom of the screen, if it starts from 1, then its G3. If it starts from 2, then its G4.

Hi
Any news on the winner?
Please let me be me to win the nokia
All of this is because I'm not familiar with doing modifications myself because I'd probably mess everything up, guess I'm a lazy bastard.
Anoopa P: Hi, my name is Anoopa P. How may I help you?
Anoopa P: Hi Jack.
Jack Mabry Jr: Do you know when the 3.1 update will be rolling out for the A500 tablet?
Anoopa P: I understand your concern. I will do my best to help you.
Anoopa P: Jack, I understand that you need to know when you will receive the 3.1 update for your system.
Jack Mabry Jr: yes, that is correct, I see that other tablets have already received that update and that at least one has received the 3.2 update. I'm getting worried that Acer is not supporting the product.
Anoopa P: No need to worry Jack.
Anoopa P: Please be informed that the update processed on, in the order of the serial number.
Jack Mabry Jr: is there no way to manually update it?
Anoopa P: It is an OTA process, you will receive the alert for that.
Jack Mabry Jr: Sorry, I'm just getting a little frustrated that the process is so slow, there are some great improvements with the 3.1 update
Anoopa P: No need to worry.
Anoopa P: May I know the purchase date of your computer?
Anoopa P: 'May I know from where did you purchase computer? Is it from USA or Canada?
Jack Mabry Jr:
I bought it on July 9th at Best Buy, USA
Jack Mabry Jr: I waited to buy it until then because that was when the update was rolling out.
Anoopa P: Alright, then there will be no issue, you will receive the alert for the update soon.
Anoopa P: Please be noted that the updating process is held on in the order of the system serial number.
Jack Mabry Jr: anyway you can tell how long it will be until my serial number is reached? Have to ask that
Anoopa P: I understand your situation.
Anoopa P: Please be noted that it is done automatically through the database, so unfortunately I am not in a position to provide the exact date for that.
Anoopa P: Please be informed about my limitations.
Jack Mabry Jr: Ok, thank you for your time sir and your patience with me, I appreciate the assistance.
Anoopa P: It's my pleasure to assist a valued customer like you. I appreciate you for spending your valuable time with me.
Anoopa P: Jack, to conclude we have provided the information about the 3.1 update and this should help you fix the issue. If there are no additional questions on this topic, I will close the chat session.
We purchased an A500 last week. Purchased it when we heard about the update to 3.1 as well.
Since the roll out is taking an incredible amount of time by today's OS roll out standards, I think we will be taking the tablet back. It's a great piece of hardware overall, however, after reading this and many other forums we are not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling about current and future support from Acer which is really sad. Also, we have experienced many force closes with stock software which I would hope would be solved with 3.1 but I just don't want to lose out on the chance to return it while we still can.
I had a chance to look at the Galaxy 10.1 two days ago and was very impressed with it. Its a shame it's lacking some of the nicer hardware features of the A500. But I think that might be where we are headed next. It is much thinner and weighs a good deal less then the A500 and ships with 3.1 (I know, I know you all probably know this already.)
or...
You could simply take the time to update it yourself and have had 3.1 weeks ago.
Just an idea.
lol at op - purchased july 9th?
So you purchased the unit less then a week ago and are annoyed that people who purchased it months go are going to get updated first - but are unable/unwilling to just manually update?
No, I never said I was upset, maybe a little bummed. Glad you like to be an ass though, hope that works out for you.

wish you would give the Acer A500 the chance... but I do hear you
No matter how superior a product is... if supports are lacking... that kills it for me too..
On the other note... My advice is you should check out the Toshiba Thrive !!! You will definitely be happy with that one.... hardware wise... it is the best out there.... everything you need and more !!!
/ Full ports ( USB, HDMI, even full size SD card slot !! )
/ Replaceable battery & custom colors back plate !!

Oh U Racist its India and not idian.. and not just here. in your country also they give same kind of answers. its a chat window, what do u expect a emotional drama ? and pre made answers are given when u ask them to figure out at what time will ur update be sent to your phone... its like asking to find a needle in a hay stack. so u chat with your Bangkok call center and tell us what u get from them

first of all calm down
Where did you see RACISM ?
it's a fact that the call center is in india and therefore it's an indian call center... what is wrong with you?
secondly
I expect more humanity yes not DRAMA what the hell.... nonsense.
where is the haystack ??? just a single request in the database and that will pull down the result, a matter of micro seconds... (I know what I speak about ok) but maybe and probably the level 1 does not have the tools to check out for sure. but anyway... always as always some answer not really clear, just made to waste time of users and money
third
I don't have to call my call center in bangkok, I can directly speak with someone from the ACER Care center Customer Service... no need to call... they works 7 days not 24hours but it's still good... so what else ?
last conversation I got with my care center was for summarize this
ME : Hello , I did something wrong with my tablet I updated manually because I didn't receive any OTA when I buy my tablet, then I put a custom kernel and firmware because I wanted to have more tools and more freedom, could you help me to reStock my tablet in case I want sell it to someone...
THEM: Hello, Oh no problem you come when you need to update or reset totally your tablet that will not be a problem.
ME: Oh really I can come on wich day
THEM: Saturday is the best day, not too much people and have the technician...

His terminology was 100% grammatically and idiomatically correct. When referring to something in another country whose names end in A, such as India, you would say Indian. Same for American, African, Cuban and so on.
I suggest your learn proper English usage before accusing someone of being a racist.

Well, there's already a few threads asking basically the same question so you probably should have posted in one of those.
A couple of days ago I would have recommended the One X without a doubt but thanks to this thread I'm not so sure. The OP doesn't say much but there's some interesting discussion in the next couple of pages. I still maintain the One X is probably the best phone out right now, but I guess if you aren't a heavy user and don't need to do things like gaming then you'd be better off buying another cheap HD2 and just carrying on with things. I'm basically going to stick with this phone until it breaks or something happens, then I'm going to probably get whatever's best at that time (never know, might even be a Windows Phone).
hey!! youre right im sorry, did not notice(like I said is my first post). but judging from that post my hd2 is by far the best, I'm just reallistic and I know I shouldnt underestimate the power i have, I love my hd2 in fact I have 3 of them (wife,kid and mines) all running miui.
Hello guys i dont know, i have been searching all over google and i cannot find anything that helps me weel the truth is i dont understand much of rooting and roms etc etc... I know little... So its the following i have bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-9006V from fastcardtech and the phone has numerous problems:
- Unlocking by sliding to the menu not working only by camera icon.
- Contacts get all messed up when i scroll down
- Youtube videos wont play
- Phone is too Slow
So my question is: "Is there any tutorial on how to install a rom for this clone ? "
I need a good rom for this chinese phone compatible with its model and a tutorial on how to do this ?
Sorry if i posted this on wrong section. And sorry for my bad english...
There is no support here for clones. It probably has a MediaTek chipset, in which case it won't be compatible with anything in the S5 forums.

Nah it's valid. He put money into a device that has zero support from the company. Unless he spent less than $100 USD, he might as well have gotten a low end device with similar specs that actually comes with support from the company.

Exactly.
A good phone for you is Galaxy S3 Mini, but, why do you bought a clone?

Some people think that clones are very close to the real thing, so they think they are getting a good deal. Maybe scams too.
