what did u do today with your g2 ? - G2 and Desire Z General

I used my g2 to:
map
track
stream music
play playlists
navigate from google maps, WHILE STREAMING MUSIC, AT DIFFERENT VOLUME LEVELS
take pictures
720p videos
share all of the above, along with editing the gps track
and it never missed a beat
navigation over music is a very very nice touch. noise cancelling headphones, navigation, pandora, and a external cig charger on a dualsport is a goood goood thing !
(someone poke microsoft, I think balmers fallen asleep @ the wheel again)

Used it as an integral part of locating and destroying Osama Bin Laden, and saving the world for another day....(for security reasons I can't be too specific)....
Just another day with my G2...

phone calls
txt msg
read the news
and flashed the new pershoot kernel

That kind of commentary is best left for arfcom or some other jingoistic corner of the internet.
My G2 woke me up today. I checked my email and have sent several dozen texts, fielded one 20 minute phone call, and put some nice new live wallpapers on for when I'm trying to force the last few bits of juice out in a hurry for battery calibration. Yesterday I used it for nav.

I snuck behind a robber in my house and killed him with my sturdy G2.

Made it even more awesome because I added the new "Mixer Theme" to it.

Woke me up.

Wyse PocketCloud to control my laptop from my internship place
Played with a distance measuring software (based on GPS, not trigonometry)
called a bunch of people
check XDA a few times
played music for about 1hour straight
i think that's about it...

Ordered 3 extra batteries+charger from eBay.
Once these arrive, I should be able to actually use my G2 without being terrified of the battery dying around noon.

New Youtube App

Don't know if this has been posted, but there's a new official YouTube app on the market and it's leaps and bounds better than the old one. Definitely worth the update.

installed fine on my evo running fresh. love the newish look.
I am stock...anyone know how to get the upgrade...I am on version 1.6.21
Edit: never mind....even though it's a pre-installed app and doesn't show in Market as a downloaded app (and thus no upgrade notification is available), you just go into Market, search for Google Youtube and install it like a new app. The pre-installed app will be upgraded.

On the bright side, when the video is paused, it keeps buffering.

You would think that if you searched for YouTube which is owned by Google, on the Market, which is also owned by Google, it would be the first one listed. Nope, it is the 9th.
Does anyone have youtube 1.6 apk. The new youtube 2.0 is nice but doesn't let me use youtube ripper. Thanks
new UI is nice but it still sucks at streaming with Froyo... constantly getting "There was a problem playing the video"

I rebooted and found it. My market is weird sometimes. The market is a mess and disorganized.

Are we still not able to comment on videos or am I missing something?
Just updated now...lovely UI, I like that you can just swipe left/right to view other tabs while video plays. HQ seems more, well, HQ too.
searched "You tube" and it was the first app that it showed...
Much better!! Before I couldnt watch half of the videos. Now everything plays and I'm not waiting on buffering either. I am overclocked so that may help with it not buffering...

Fascinate

If you're still in your 30 day return period, you may want to consider getting the Fascinate instead. Right now it's only $49 and comes with a free car mount and charger.

I know we all are fustrated, to say the least...
But after playing Angry Birds and other such games, and having my girlfriend call me, there is no way i could live any other way... Having that easy red ignore button makes this phone sooooooo worth sticking with lol

I've had my G1 since it came out. :O 1st Smartphone. I use it as my Daily Phone. I have n iPhone 3G and 3G's. My iPhone 3G runs Android *2.3.5 AOSP Build* and my 3Gs is my iPod. I could never Drop my G1. The only reason I'm getting a new phone is because I'm getting a massive deal on a MT4Gs. I'm probally going to just Keep my G1 in Airplane mood, load up FBL, and play emulators on it. :3

It's my phone, it works so well I'm not thinking in getting another.
Its the remote control for my htpc! With the radio for cell off the battery lasts forever. Keyboard lets me search easy for shows and through Netflix interface.

I use it as a streaming media player, and whatsapp
Makes a great backup phone (convert to t-mobile prepaid and charge it up for $100 for 1000 minutes which doesn't expire for a year), then load ebook reader apps on it from the market and use it as an ebook (epub, whatever) reader (Aldiko & Foliant).
Also, rooted and using wireless tether apps it becomes a backup internet connection for a computer.
calculator
backup camera
marine compass
gps
weather station
...the list goes on and on....

how NOT to show off your phone

So I pulled out my phone today at a bar and was doing some reading.
Someone next to me was like, "WHOA BIG PHONE" and next thing you know, I have 5 people surrounding me @@ing at the Note.
So I'm flipping around, and someone says, 'Can you show a video?' and I'm like 'Sure!'
So I go into app folders (I have tons of apps, so it's all sorted out). click on gallery. Not found. What? Oh - I had ROMed to ICS two days ago.
Click on Videos. Not found. Great.
Clicking around folders trying to find the new video player and everyone left thinking, 'Gee, this phone is sure hard to use' and dispersed. oops.
I did, yet again, get the 'it's a little computer' comment - I think it's because of the folders/subdirectories I use in app folders.

Windy Day augmented reality app for the Moto X

Not exactly sure what this is but here are a couple of teasers that they released. Says it's launching on Oct 29:

Watched it this morning when I saw the hat floating around the screen. It was cute and comical at times. A little long but there was all sorts of things going on.

Not sure how we are supposed to get it. Had the spotlight app show up a day or so ago and then nothing. Trip to play store app doesn't show an update available either.

Still no hat on my home screen either. The widget just gives me 2 screens.... I'm hoping that when I get home from work and go on WiFi it shows up.
Nothing for me either.

Running the latest version of stock AT&T software, rebooted phone, connected to WiFi, uninstalled and reinstalled spotlight. Still no hat.
So I just turned my phone on this morning checking the web and this little red/Orange hat starts floating all over my chrome browser screen. Finally manage to tap it and it's pretty awesome. I don't really see the usefulness but it was quite entertained and probably looked like an idiot out here dancing in the shop following the hat.
I got it this morning too. Finally. A day late.
Sent from my Moto X
when i first saw the hat floating around my screen i got nervous like it was some new virus/malware. then i remembered i downloaded the app. While the content was fit for a child, the way it showcases the technology to be able to watch a movie in a full 360 degree field of vision which is pretty amazing. this has some great potential.
I haven't gotten it yet, but have not taken the ota, think that has something to do with it?
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
I am completely stock with the ota and I haven't seen anything yet. To those who have seen the hat are you on the stock launcher?

I woke this morning and had the hat floating around. I think it was a very cool thing and enjoyed it. It really does show where this could go with a fully immersive environment.
I am using nova launcher by the way but I highly doubt it should matter.
Got it last night as well
