Just got my invite and was wondering if it was worth buying one. So does anyone have one of these yet? Does it work? Is it worth buying? It relies on your cell phone for connectivity, but anyone know if I can play local files off your cell phone? I don't want to burn data when most of the songs I want to hear are sitting right there on my SD card..

Contents of original MicroSD card

Does anyone have a backup copy of the files that was on the MicroSD card when they first received the phone? I zapped mine and need to get another copy.
Thank you!
actually, i pulled mine out almost immediately, but i can upload it for you. i just picked up mine yesterday to see how it does against my epic 4g.

THANK YOU! I was really stupid - I didn't listen to everyone's gripes about the G2 and returned my MT4G in favor of the G2... Needless to say, the hinge problem is my complaint too, so I'm getting the MT4G back tomorrow (same one) - BUT - before I handed it in I formatted the MicroSD card.
I had a copy of it stored on my hard drive here until late last night - I should never have gotten rid of it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
send you a link via pm.

Could you send me the link too? Had a similar thing happening and could use the original files. Thanks!!!
something like a request for stock files should really have the files posted to the thread instead of PMed. It could potentially help a lot more people that way.

This post contains a zip of the original SD card contents that shipped with MT4G
I am not the original poster, but non of the threads have the link in the first post.

This may also may be people with different phones that want to try the Rock Band trial seeing as there are no videos or opinions of it online, and when you try an run the apk it tells you to insert the sd card bundled with the phone. Thanks for the upload.
Please post all questions in Q&A section.

they should be the same (fat32) even if you added a partition you should still be able to just put it in the mt4g without any problems

SOLD!... Selling eLocity A7

4/7/11 UPDATE:
SOLD!
4/4/2011 UPDATE:
Well, eLocity informed me that they where having supply issues with getting displays. So they decided to send me a new unit from their stock as I have already been waiting over a month and a half. It shipped out Friday and should arrive soon.
I was thinking of keeping it but decided I'd be better off selling it and getting some cash. so if anyone that has already expressed interest still want it let me know.
A7 with original accessories (charger, headphones w/ mic) $210 shipped.
Thanks.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, out of a job and need cash more than toys.
Have to sell my A7. It is currently running Dexters v1.3 ROM and come with a case (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895353).
I have a second A7 that is currently at eLocity to have the screen at sat on replaced. They say it should be four weeks. I may sell that one too once I get it back.
Anyone interested PM me.
Dude, that sucks.
Good luck in the hunt.

If there is no interest I may list it on ebay tomorrow. I really rather not deal with ebay and some technically challanged buyer who won't know how to make the A7 work.

I don't think there is a problem with the Dexter ROM. Dexter's ROM is the Official eLocity ROM with Market and Google Apps added. As far as I'm aware the issues are inherent to the official ROM.
The only issue I've seen in my use are:
1. with the current ROM, in setting it does not show the the MicroSD card as there. The card is there and can be used though. Pictures show up in the gallery and the MicroSD card can be navigated with a file explorer app (i use Astro).
2. Not 100% sure but think apps can't be run from the MicroSD card. Someone said they moved app to the SD card recently, but I haven't tried.
any specific problem your referring to?
The issue with not reading the sd card, not being able to access to usb thumbdrives and numerous apps which will not install and run properly. I am a newb, BTW.

Like I pointed out above, when you go into the setting menu it doesn't show the SDcard as mounted in the latest firmware. But it is there and accessible. I put movies, pictures and music in mine and all are accessible.
I have no issues using USB drives. That's how I move the Update.zip file onto my internal SD card. I download it to my USB drive via my PC. Plug it into my A& then copy the Update.zip file to my internal storage from the USB drive using Astro file manager.
Yes, there are apps that won't work. AS there are app that won't work on my g tablet either. Not sure if it has to do with the apps not yet supporting the Tegra 2 processor or tablets or what. For example Google earth won't run on either my A7 or the viewsonic g tablet.
I guess it all depends on what the user wants the device to do. For me e-mail, Internet, Skype and google calendar are the main use. Don't really use my device for games (occasional Angry Birds or paper toss).
Now $195 shipped (USA only)

samsung tab -all surf and talk on 3g (dont get your hopes up just wanted to share)

I came across this video on youtube and this guys seems to be running a t-mobile tab using voice+3g (i think, not sure if that's what he means): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ4EDRLaILk
Of course he just shows off the tab running web and dialing while on H/3G, he does not explain how he got it done. I went ahead and sent him a message asking how he did it. My guess is that he is running google voice not sure, if anyone else is running google voice and is exactly as this guys is showing off please advise.
Did not want to get anybodies hopes up, just found it interesting. Lets see what he says if he replies.
Thanks for the pointer. I remember that video from a while back, like November. I think he is using a voip application, not the dialer.apk, but I could be wrong.
I just got a report from a member in China who gets voice +3g data with one modem. He is using a tab he purchased in Chicago, and a China Unicom sim. Someone in Isreal said they do too, but I didn't get the sim provider.
Bottom line - it's possible, just not in the US with T-Mobile tab and sim.

did not seem him launching any VOIP app he was online and just clicked on the phone tab thats on the browser and he just started dialing.
wonder what kind of modems they are using....
WTF

Not seems to be a VOIP App... don't know!
But I just put a GUIDE of how to place and receive calls on your GT via VOIP using your Google Voice account. Also you could Forward the Call on settings to your SIP# so if you place your SIM on your tab and you could get Forwarded the Call to your SIP# and it will enter via VoIP!
It's a great solution until we get another solution!

What to do with my vibrant

So, It's that time when my company renews my contract and it get a new phone. What I was thinking is that my kids are little angry bird, and fruit ninja freaks and how cool would it be if they could use my vibrant like a mini tablet. This would keep my gtablet and my new phone out of their hands.
Does anyone know if I could remove the phone and dialing apk from the phone without jacking the phone up. What would be real cool is if there was a rom that would turn my vibrant into a PMP. I also have a motorola Cliq if I could do the same with that I they wouldn't have to fight over it.
Anyone else toying with this thought?

Wow that's way to smart why did't i think of that, oh wait I did I'll be taking the sim card out to put in my new phone.
When the sim card is out it allows emergency dialing only.
I’m wanting to stop the emergency dialing and the sim card missing messages if possible. I'll have to give titanium backup a try and see what freezing the apps does. I’ll try it tomorrow UPS just dropped off my new G2X.
I don't want them to have a tablet either they really want an iPod touch but I'm kind of anti iPod. I’m also thinking the new Samsung galaxy s wifi is going to be out of my price range and the specs aren’t really comparable to the vibrant.

I don't know how to stop the notifications and most of the people replying here probably don't either, so i suggest you PM a Developer here that you know and ask them to build you a flash that will remove crap like that, or if their extra nice, they might make a rom just for you to use as everything but phone.

Thanks I'll try that! Maybe I'll post the same thing on the team whisky forum.
I found on another form where people are doing this same thing just with another phone. They have a script to remove some apk's might just removimg the same apk's with root explorer and see what happens.
Ive been asking for a rom like that forever in the g1 forums...long story short...removing phone and dialer causes a **** ton of fc's, and very hard to work around. Kernal needs to be built to not have any phone functions I think...also a custom radio(again...i think). Wish I knew how to build off of AOSP cuz im thinking that would be the easiest way..

Hmm..I don't know if maybe thru titanium you can freeze or delete the dialer?

[Q] Making Cellular Calls On 3G Nexus 7 32gb?

Hi Guys!
I've just picked up a Nexus 7 32gb 3g and it's amazing to say the least. I can't believe for something just over £200 I have a full up to date android experience with premium hardware. Anyway what I was wondering was could I use this device to replace my recently broken Samsung Galaxy S1 (i9000). By which I mean make calls over 3g cellular. I want to pop in a contract sim and just use the minutes and texts of that and I was wondering whether it was possible?
I've done my research and apparently it's as simple as just copying over the default phone apk and it should work although I'm a bit skeptical as I've only seen one thread about. So what do I need to do to make cellular calls on the Nexus 7?
Regards,
Enya
P.S. I don't mind holding a 7" tablet to my face to make calls, I'd probably just use hands free anyway, and I don't mind rooting or flashing roms.
sorry for the off topic
but where did you get your 32gb 3g from - as ive only seen pc world, currys etc selling the wifi only for 200 pound...
would also like to know about the sim card and making calls / texts with the 3g model
thanks

you said you just picked up? how did u get it direct?
N7+3g will sell in uk! Check it via proxy 62.233.100.46:80
I am also looking for an answer to this question, i can't find any answers, would you be able to try the phone apk and report back. I am not sure if you need rot access to do that.
Also interested, if only because the carrier that my SIM comes from occasionally requires me to make a call to their automated attendant when their online management tool isn't working.
Metaphorically speaking, Oh and yeah I'm probably going to try the phone.apk although I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or anything?
Oh and to put the phone.apk app back on I think you'll either need root access or ABD, but don't take my word for it, I'm no expert lol,
Uh-oh, just read that the N7 3G support won't be in AOSP for now because they weren't able to licence the GSM stack for AOSP
Wait, so you can't just push it into a system app i=in adb by extracting it from another phone that's running AOSP?

No idea. As of yet the only AOSP phone with 4.2 is the GNex (Nexus 4 is not in AOSP yet either due to the same licensing issue).
And unless devs find a clever workaround, N73G isn't going to get the same scope of ROMs as the wi-fi version until they sort out the licensing.
Any results yet?
enya123101, did you try the phone.apk ? I'm really eager to find out if the NExus 7 can make phone calls and I can't find answers anywhere
please let us know
Please don't keep us in suspense. This data is what I need to determine between the Nexus 7 or the 10. I find it odd that this question is not being ask more on the net. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958686 is the only other thread really that's asking this question and not just some random mentioning of it in a sea of Nexus 7 threads out there.
Thanks again for being the guinea pig.
you can not just push phone.apk in fact your device ALREADY has phone.APK and if you try to push it then you will receive the message "you are replacing a system app.
the reason you cant USE or SEE it is because of the way our framework.res is compiled and it is not set as a phone device it is set as tablet among other settings that are different as well.
its not that easy but hopefully once its out in full force then developers will figure out a way perhaps with custom roms that allow it.
any info yet
like the others real interested to see some results
