What are you plans for your G1 in the future?

What do you intend to do with your G1 after a year or two or after your contract has expired? I plan on keeping mine, and using as a just-for-fun device, or I might give it to my kids in 10 years as an antique phone that they can complain about having to use while all the other kids are using virtual headsets. I'm just curious haha

I'll probably keep using it until some freaking beast phone comes out.

Hang onto it. Backup phones can come in handy, for obvious reasons. Also, if my next handset is very securely locked out of root, I might want to have my Dream on hand for platform hacking.

I'll use mine for dyno, tuning my ecu through the phone, and controling my tv, lights, garage door, girlfriend, all through my phone.. Dreaming of course, but hey, it's called a "dream" right?

The only way I'll give up my G1 is if there is another Android phone that is super sweet looking with a hard keyboard too. Then, and only then, will I consider giving up the G1.
Oh, and no Samsung or Nokia or any other brand. Only HTC.

I've already found myself trying to keep my phone in its best physical condition so much that I am starting to not enjoy using the phone, bit of OCD on my side. Anyway, I installed a ShieldSkin around a month ago, and today I dropped my phone, and it happened to land on a pebble right on the edge of the phone in the small tiny area where the shield skin happened to not cover... so much for my 9 dollar investment, and now I got a dent in my phone that I keep staring at every single time I pick up the phone.

I'll sell mine and get some other Android phone.
Or maybe not
Currently I use Haykuro's 5.0G and I can't be happier with my device. Well, I could, if all the apps were working correctly

I will never give my G1 up as soon as HTC release another Android phone with more hardware change than and hard keyboard I will get it. But I'll keep my G1 as the first Android Phone ever!!!.
And right now I'm using Hakuro 5.1H and it's amazing stable everything works great I have fall in love with my phone more deeply.
Ps. My wife just red this post I left and she said OMG HOW [email protected]

i plan on getting a new phone before my two year expires, never had a phone that lasted more than a year so we'll see. every month it seems a new better phone comes out and unless they get rid of every phone with a hardware keyboard there is always an upgrade for me to buy.

im currently back in love with the g1 because of haykuros 5.0.1 rom
this is what keeps me on this phone right now
im hoping that by the time the huwaei phone comes out or the htc magic for the us comes out ill grab one of those just to check it out and if i dont like it ill still to the g1 until a better android phone comes out. the g1 is best of both worlds really. its got a hard keyboard and now it has a soft keyboard. people look at asthetics of a phone waaay to much now. its all about thin and sexy instead of comfortable and powerful. compared to the iphone i think the browser is the only good thing about the iphone now. eventually thatll have google as the reigning king. i think android has pretty much raped the iphone software wise and soon enough itll rape is style wise. the iphone style will never change and as u can see the android style will always be different. so even if were all using android each of our phones will be unique in maybe 3 or 4 years.
fingers are tired lol

Keeping it for sure unless another Android phone comes out with an actual keyboard.

this phone will be a collectors item lol, just wait and see
the first phone started by the open handset alliance? let alone ive got a white one and a black one, i just need a bronze one now, i have a couple very minor scratches on the bottom of my phone, ill have tmobile replace it just before i put it up and get a new phone, im liking the android phone that is slim like the iphone that i saw floating around online that should come out at the end of this year, that will probably replace my g1, but im definately keeping it, im also keeping copies of all the jf builds and the magic port builds as well, and every app that gets removed from the market im trying to get my hands on the apk for it lol, who knows right? ive seen old ass nokia phones holding there resale value because of there uniqueness, hopefully the g1 will too
with the ability ive seen in the devs and the porting of roms, i dont think this phone will become outdated as fast as my other phones have in the passed, in short, i think the hardware will become outdated MUCH sooner than the software

[Q] Vibrant vs HD2

I've watched countless videos on Youtube and researched them both on google, but I just can't seem to come to a decision on which is better.
The Vibrant has native android which runs smooth AND records videos in 720p which is a really nice bonus, but the HD2 just has this massive screen which just looks like it kicks *** BUT can also run Android (with some bugs apparently). When it comes to battery life, which is better? My day is filled with heavy texting and the occasional web browsing but not really emails or networking since I hate Facebook and all that.
Any help here?

I've had both and Vibrant hands down. Not even a contest honestly. The only thing the HD2 has over the Vibrant is a little larger screen and even then the Vibrant is a better screen.

Here you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745201&highlight=Vibrant+hd2

we're getting too many of the threads....
if you look at them side by side and open the same apps etc, you will see that the hd2 is garbage.

Vibrant indeed, was at the T-Mo store and mom was considering it for some bizarre reason, the T-Mo rep told her to not consider it, on top of all the obvious reasons posted in many threads, the device itself seems to be very buggy and the rep said most people have problems with the device

If you can afford a Lexus why buy a Hyuandai that looks like one? Go with the vibrant, my hd2 had freezing issues, slow browser and the app store reminded me of my palm treo 650, non existant!
I perfer the screen size and ergonomics of the vibrant, on a hardware note,and touch sensitive buttons means no dirt getting into the phone.
Did I miss anything?
Oh night mode, swype, and hummingbird ftw!
Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant

The only thing going for it would be the price, depending on how disgusted the person is with the HD2 you can get one mint in the low $200's

Thanks guys, I realize this is an overdone topic but I really appreicate the responses.
I think I'm set on the vibrant since it has way better features with the exception of flash and a bigger screen.
I really appreciate it guys, but just one more thing, there IS a way to unlock this phone to get free apps and such right? >_>

If your talking about getting paid apps for free then you're not going to get any help here. Its called warez and very frowned upon here. Besides most apps in the market are free or have a lite version. And the paid ones only cost a few dollars so its not even worth it to pirate them.

Getting apps for free really does this community a dis-service. app developers are less likely to produce the higher end games and support for a system that is flawed, at least for now. Soon we will see emailed auth. Codes for every paid app., but will hopefully see those apps that are truly worth paying for.

Haven't used the HD2 but I'm in love with my Vibrant and it seems like a has quite a bigger fan base going.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App

I don't mind paying for applications, but paying for an app that let's you use nice themes with different icons (on the G1 anyways) always seemed downright stupid to me. You're right though, it doesn't justify stealing them in the first place because some devs do deserve the money.

I had HD2 and i wasnt happy with it. It crashed the second day and apps were simply limited and useless. The OS wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. After i installed android i was more pleased but not for long when it kept crashing (bcs obviously is not perfect yet) Now that i have Vibrant i fell in love from out of the box. Everything is neat (especially when froyo 2.2 comes out) and so far havent frozen once. Battery never seemed like a problem to me, and i DO text a lot. Usually keep brightness down since the screen is beautiful as it is and less light reflect. Every phone have its own problems and HD2 have too many.

I have both..I like the led flash and larger screen of the hd2 but the color and pop of the vibrant is much better...I like my Vibrant alot more.....

I now have only 2 days to return my Vibrant and go back to the HD2.<thinking> .........
Don't think it's going to happen!..Don't get me wrong, I really liked my
HD2 when I got it...got two, one for me and one for her.
She's happy with it coming from a Blackberry 8300 but, I've had
Windows mobile before and even with the slick Sense its like the
other guy said...Treo 650....5.0 touched up to 6.5!
I paid $500 each for those phones...Think I can get at least
half of what I paid? Man, I hope so.

Doubt it man, the hd2's lost value quicker than a...I actually don't have an analogy to go with that. Anyways they're pretty dirt cheap on craigslist but good luck selling them nonetheless. And in regards to this thread's topic, I suggest getting the vibrant and buying a cheap led keychain if flash is really important to you. Although I don't suggest trying to zoom in on your photos in android's default gallery app. Just trust me, it's not pretty.
And do try to search the forum next time you have a question. It's kind of getting annoying seeing these identical threads popping up every time I come to xda.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App. You may thank swype for any and all grammar errors.

i also have both.
you can now run android on the hd2 on top of the native windows OS via dual-boot. so far most of the builds are close to being 100 pct stable. right now, i'm running froyo with htc sense on my hd2 and getting respectable quadrant scores up to 1500. these builds also come rooted and with overclocked kernels. just some thing for you to think about if you're thinking about getting an hd2. i primarily use my hd2 for work and my vibrant as my daily driver.

Received replacement for G2 and what a difference!

Just received my replacement for my G2 yesterday. This is the fourth one I have tried. I am amazed at the difference in this one. The hinges are nice and snug and the signal does not fluctuate wildly. No random reboots (yet) No freezes or turning itself off. The keyboard does not start launching apps randomly. The battery has been super. All the things the first three had issues with. Has HTC fixed the issues in these later batches? So far this unit seems to be on a different level. Anyone else had this excperience? IMO this is now a SUPER phone not just a good phone.

thats what people need to understand. g2's arent a bad phone. htc just made a ****-ton of bad batches of these phones. its almost like diamond in the dirt for people to find a g2 that actually meets up to customer expectation. and sadly they really arent doing much to help out instead they are hoping this can be swept under a rug

I know exactly what you're saying. This is my third G2 and, actually, the only one that works right all the time. The first two reboot a lot (this one hasn't up to now), the second got stuck on bootloader. Also, I had the hinge problem on the second.
This one is perfect, nothing wrong with it up to now.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk

I'm still on my first G2 but I think I'm gonna get a replacement cause my hindges are getting pretty loose now. Its like the hindges lost their snap when I open and close it. And when the phone is closed, well it doesn't actually feel like a solid close, it fells like it will just slide open. Hopefully I don't have this problem on the next one. I really like the G2.
Sent from my DETHFONE (G2)

Still have my FIRST G2, I bought it in store on OCT 2nd. I have NO hinge issue. It did reboot on me twice, but that was because of a faulty app. The battery is finally settling in well, I unplug @ 7:45 AM every morning and usually have ~30 - 40% left at moderate use - web surfing, music and texting. This is one of the best phones ive ever owned,

I grabbed mine oct 9th, I wasn't experiencing anything most users were... as soon as i opend it up I checked to see if mine had 4gb, it did and I have had no other issues. Hinge reboots, anything. Seems like they rush, rush, rushed the first batches.

Its not a 2.2 issue.... the Droid 2 has 8 GB onboard it shows up fine.
Its a NAND issue, its locked and in only about ~1.3 user accessible. Once permanent root is avialable we shoul dbe able to us ALL of 4 GB.... though when I say 4 GB its actually ~3.7 GB

how did you guys replace is cuhz i have the hinge problem and the 4gb memory. just recently bought it like 2 weeks ago.

Please stop these threads, they confuse newcomers or people who just got the phone and just initiate a placebo effect for things that are a non-issue.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Could you post the serial # of these 'improved' phones? So we know what to avoid.

When you guys get replacements, do they send you refurbished ones? Or a brand new phone?
I don't trust them, if they say its a new phone but send it without the battery cover and battery, just the phone itself and ask you to send the old one in. Cause I still don't know if someone else used and sent it back to T-Mobile and changed the housing and sending them out as new. Feel me?

I'm still waiting on my 3rd G2 and so seeing how my order is "back-ordered" - i hope i get a G2 from a new batch!
3rd times the charm......... i hope

Thin Pink Line - LCD broken?

My phone has developed a thin pink line running down the screen.
I have been on holiday on an island with no phone reception for a week so I didn't take the phone, so it's been at home without being touched.
Then I get back today, play around with it for only a few hours then this happens! It seemed to come on after a reboot.
At first I thought it was because I was playing with build.prop, but after restoring a backup it was still there. It's also there on the splash screen and in recovery, AND it's in the same position when I rotate my phone, so I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue.
The point of the island story is because I was wondering if a rapid change in temperature could have something to do with it? The phone has been very cold for the week of no usage, but has been getting hot today obviously after charging and playing with it
Does anyone know what could have caused it?
And is there any way to fix it? Or should I just start looking at prices for the galaxy nexus...

I am afraid you might have to send it to hTC for LCD repair.

nevermind, wrong section

Yup. This will have to go to HTC repairs.
I see you're rooted and have BlackIce ROM installed. I'd suggest flashing Stock RUU before sending it to them. (Warranty issues)
Cause of the problem : Maybe the temperature difference, although such problems are very hard to pinpoint. Even a minor speck or particle on the circuit board can wreck havoc at times.. I've had a PC monitor gone bad due to an ant crawling inside the system. :\

a phone repair place i called quoted me over $100 as well, but maybe it's worth it in case i completely screw something up!

Why even bother with repairing it yourself.
1. Why give yourself the hassle?
2. Why go to that expense?
All HTC phones have a 2 yr warranty get a stock rom on it, get it s on'd and get it sent back.
I've sent a few phones back to HTC and one of them was a HD2 with the same issue and the turn around and service was top notch

I'm afraid that my phone only had a 1 year warranty, and this happened in the 13th month of it's life I had a long discussion with HTC about their responsibility to make sure their hardware survives for a reasonable length of time, and could they extend the warranty, but they weren't interested. So I took it to a 3rd party repair place and they fixed it up for me for $110. It's worth it in the end, the phone will sell for more than that when I upgrade to my next phone.
Thanks for all of the replies everyone!

The first time i did the "return my phone then get a replacement" deal, but that took close to 2 weeks. I'm doing the send at the same time and put a hold on my card. This is getting ridiculous. I will have some fun with the survey I was told i would be receiving!
Update: No deposit required. They are sending the 64gb out on the morning. Ill return the 32gb when i get that. Guess they're trying to make it right.

hiya mate moved your post here, no need to start another.
btw rant is one of the topics:good:

Well, I guess I'll start it off with a little speculation. First, I don't generally like to speculate but here goes.
What do you think 5.1.1 might bring to our shamu when it finally drops? I think, and hope it will finally put an end to all the variants we currently have in 5.1, i.e. D, E, H, M and I. It would certainly curtail a lot of questions users are posting here. But who knows, Google could start the whole saga over again. Does anyone think that things are changing with the Nexus line catering to the different carriers now as opposed to the way things were in the past?
Also, this update may address the memory leak plaguing some devices. Have any of you seen or experienced this leak? I have not. Are there any other bugs you experience that you hope are addressed?

Awesome... That is the one that I am on! Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE this phone and its huge screen, but the battery is a complete disappointment. It can't give me a complete day of use... I could use my old OnePlus One for 2 days with 7 hours of screen on time, but my Nexus 6 can't arrive at night before being charged with just 3-4 hours of screen on time.
P.s.: now I'm on stock + Lean Kernel, but I've also tried different ROM + kernel combinations...

What other have you tried?
Which rom/kernel combo gives you the best battery life?

I'm 100% stock and I easily get 5 to 6 hours SOT every day. Plus, with turbo charging, if I get too low, 15 to 20 minutes on charge and I'm good for whatever time I need.
Everybody uses their phone differently though. Perhaps you should look into a wakelock detector and see what it is, specifically, that's raping your battery.

ROMs: stock, Chroma, Euphoria, OptiPop... and others, maybe.
Kernels: stock, Code_Blue, franco, Lean.
A great phone with a disappointing battery life... shame on you Google/Motorola! :crying:

I am enjoying the phone, too. My initial hesitations were the size, and the display not being as bright as others (especially since I use it in my car a lot for GPS navigation). Neither has been much of an issue. The size and one handed use issue is so overblown compared to the Note 4 and iPhone 6 Plus.......
One little issue --- the phone has completely frozen up on me two or three times in the month or so that I have had it. Anyone else experience this? Is it the memory leak?

Listening to Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff". Reminds me of touching the back of the Nexus6 while charging!
