my favs on tmobile us

is there any way to get the my favs feature working on the wing without having my favs plan?

No, but then again why would you? There's better apps for your today screen that show photo contacts.

From the sound of it, he doesn't care how it looks so much as how many minutes he can save. That's the impression I got.

If that's the case, then I'm confused. Why ask it here? That's obviously a carrier (T-Mobile) deal. Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't any magical software that can tweak your minutes.

You are correct. He'd have to call up and ask for a myfaves plan.

I think he wants the myfaves feature with the calling contacts on the today screen. I'm pretty sure thats what he meant. And search around, I've read you can use it via some registry edits, dont quote me on it though lol

Transferring contacts from iphone to tilt?

Hey guys, just need a little help here. My bosses wife who currently owns a 2G IPHONE is trading up to a tilt. I am just curious since Ive never owned an iphone, how do you transfer contacts from one to the other? I usually use PIMBACKUP but doubt this will be compatible with the iphone. Just curious, thanks in advance.

Sync the iphone with outlook, then do the same with the Tilt.

um, well, um we don't do Iphones here. I would suggest planet-iphones.com for your help. Maybe look on the phone to find how to copy the conacts to sim or sync with outlook.

taken from an older discussion not on xda
To sync contacts and calendar on outlook open itunes, select your iphone, on summary tab check 'automatically sync when iphone is connected', on info tab check 'sync contacts with outlook' and 'sync calendar with outlook'

then plug the kaiser in (after installing the latest version of activesync) then sync contacts and anything else you want via activesync (using outlook's saved information from iphone)

Not being petty, but seriously bro, we dont do iphones here but this is a pretty smart bunch of people here so I thought I would run it by our guys instead of going to another forum
I could understand your comment if I would have been asking questions on the how too's of a 2G vs 3G Iphone.
Thanks for the advice guys, will give this a shot.

thing ms need to do now is say to the world "what do you want on wm7.1" lol

I just stopped using my tilt.
It ended up being more of a pain.
Just making a phone call was frustrating.
If Microsoft can make a true touch controlled o/s it would make things so much better. HTC makes some cool stuff but the products themselves are made out of cheap materials. The tilt was my second htc device, they both didnt handle a years worth of use very well.

Just venting ? ( which is fine )
Or was there some point to reviving a 5 month old thread?

Is there an app that....

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.

When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software

Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude

latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???

It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.

Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.

I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life

Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.

Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.

thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.

you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend

Want to root finally

I've had my G1 since Christmas of 08 and I finally decided to root. I jailbroke my ipod touch, and I heard rooting is similar to that, so i'm up for the task. I have firmware 1.6 and build number DMD64.
What exactly do I need to do, and what is the best rom to date that is good to use?

Did you search or anything?
You won't get anyone here that's going to hold your hand or do it for you because in the twenty or so minutes that you waiting for the answer to be handed to you you could have found it for yourself by reading the above link and/or searching. So you are in actually just wasting your time posting your question. By the way since you are obviously new to XDA here's a fair warning. There are three types of people on here... those that help, those that are idle (just read but don't post) and those that need everything done for them. What kind do you think your first impression made and what kind of people do you think get flammed by the Senior Members that spend hours every week helping people like yourself by answering the same questions over and over again even after it's already been answered. And you're probably thinking "Instead of writing out this whole damn thing, why didn't he just tell me the answer?" Well because if you don't learn this way you're only going to rely on us from here on out if you are spoon fed. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you want to make it here on XDA you have to play by the rules. Happy rooting!

Search button ftw.

A rooted phone is timeless, you can have any version of Android, whenever you want it. Therefore, it makes sense that an old thread is just as good as a new thread that has the same exact information other than the rom you flash.

Ok, I finished rooting my G1 and got to the HTC v.1.5.2 screen, now i'm going to install a rom

Thanks to all of the guides and youtube videos, I now have Manup456 Eclair 2.1 V1.5 on my G1! Just going back to put back in my ringtones and files. It's like I have a brand new phone!

Havent seen this asked yet but is there a way to root your g1 without a data plan and a data block put on your service (on ATT)

"Seen" well then you were only looking for about 2 seconds then. Google it.

wow, seriously? noone can get any help any more. everyone is just such a **** these days.
anyways, you need a data plan to root ur phone. you personally don't need it, but get a friend that has a data plan and use his SIM card for the procedure. and i'm sure there are some apps that force all data to be stopped and only allow wifi. i know my hero rom has an option to disable all data except for wifi built right in. i used hero_over. but i'm sure all hero roms have that option.

Your method is probably the most "common-sense" idea. We're not being dicks, we're just sick and tired of people not searching before posting, there's about millions of pages on google on the topic but they insist on coming here anyways. He can register through wifi with adb which most people do, so this pretty much contradicts the word "need" in your first statement. I won't carry on because I don't need to because I'd be a "****".

in anycase you're wrong, I haven't seen a question asking if you can root a phone without a data plan and a data block put on your phone.. keyword: DATA BLOCK... yes I am not an idiot.. I do search, why do alot of you seniors post on Q&A with "search please" ... just to get your post count up? Seems pretty regressive on helping people in a questions section.
Thanks to the other poster XD, but isn't there an option to get around it by entering in wifi to supplement the loss of a data plan and the addition of a data block?

Yes you can use no data plan too:

But when you really think about it, what's the point of having a Dream if you don't have a data plan? The majority of what the phone does involves intensive data plan usage, and I don't know about anybody else, but I actually use my device other than sitting at my computer.
Just my two cents.

Please take your backseat moderating somewhere else. I was using what we call "sarcasm". And clearly, the other part of my post did hold value: asking yajinni to clarify what he/she was saying. Thanks
To my point, I was asking yajinni to clarify for others who have tried this in NYC, I couldn't care less about NYC. But if the poster doesn't clarify what they meant, others testing in the area will not know what to appropriately respond to him/her with. Also, reading yajinni's previous post, it is clear he/she speaks English perfectly fine. So I felt like joking with their obvious typo, and then asking them "seriously" to clarify.
So, would you like a worth while post from me? Fine. I am in Tampa, and can confirm that the 3d models work in Tampa. The 3d models only show up in map mode. In satellite layer on, only tilt, no models. Again, this is in TAMPA, I have not had a chance to search every city supporting 3d models.

the way to make it work is to wait til gps finds you then hit the target button beside the layers button. hit it twice and it should automatically tilt a little bit and follow the way your facing. also we dont have the ability use the multi touch tilt and turn sadly. our device doesnt support it according to google but brut is making some headway in the g1 android development section so keep your eyes out there! we might end up having all of the features that google says we cant.
as for actual 3d tilt its only in certain areas as stated above. a way to verify its actually working scroll over to san diegp california after you hit the target twice and you should see buildings in 3d and if you do there and not your city then that means your city isnt supported yet

Hm sorry for the bad typing. was on my phone and it was late. But i meant is i DID IT with new york city.
