Hi all, i'm a noob here and would firstly like to say hi to everyone and well done to all concerned for the content and information found here... I have had my phone for less than a week and already it has been flashed with a new ROM
I have read with interest numerous threads and petitions about the HTC graphics problems. I read something earlier where someone said they had contacted HTC about this issue and pointed HTC to this forum (as I am sure alot of people have done). My question is as follows.....If HTC decide to come on here and look at the site to gather information/have a look at what people are saying about the graphics issue...what do you think they make of all the threads containing their software that is freely available for download?
I would be concerned that they may a little upset and try to force the software to be taken off??? Maybe I am missing something and the software is freeware but I doubt it very much.
I suppose my question could extend to things like ROMS etc with other mnfrs software on it also.
Anyway apologies if this is a somewhat random post but I was just wondering...and before anyone asks...NO I AM NOT AN HTC EMPLOYEE Or do I wish to cause any friction.
Chris
Welcome, HTC.
Yes welcome HTC! If you would make your Products perform properly right out of the box I wouldnt have to spend hour on hour cooking new ROM's or extracting apps from one device to port to another. Maybe one day you will wake up and see that you could be the best PDA provider out there if it not for one small issue! You leave us hanging on important things and leave it up to us to fix your mistakes so please HTC get your sh*t together and blow my mind with the next device!
PMSL...You guys really think I from HTC???? I can see this turning into a major flaming for me If that's what everyone now thinks.
I can assure you that I am not, but I guess that is going to be difficult to prove once everyone thinks I am.
I wonder if a job at HTC would be better than my current employment

They don't think you're from HTC. They said they'd welcome HTC to come in and see everything you're talking about and seeing that they're phones would sell alot better if they implemented alot of the stuff we're doing ourselves afterwards.
they allready visit the forum and they are aware of what we do and use...
anyway..where do you think they get bug fixes from!

It's not only bug fixes from guys like you faria but the forum also provides a completely cost free customer survey/opinion base of product performance, enhancements and application inclusions.
Up until now though, I don't think they have had enough incentive to fix past issues because they thought the complaints were not serious enough to effect future sales.
They definately have reason to worry this time....
For me, if they ignore us and don't fix any of the issues our phones are plagued by, then im not even gonna sell this phone when it comes time. ill throw it away and buy a damn blackjack or eten

IMO - Having switched from an Eten x500 to the TYTN II/Kaiser I personally would not recommend it over a Kaiser. My experiences of it in a year of use how been far exceeded by 1 week of use with my TYTN II.

Exactly.. They better give me a 100% working kaiser (fast camera, video drivers etc..) or this will be my last PDA from them

Yeah, all I meant was that I'd move to a different brand. I just threw Eten out there cause it was the first thing that popped into my head.
yea eric, im pretty sure i'd do the same. im hoping for a hit on the next one
I have just bricked my hermes 30 mins ago tsk the day i finally fixed it (upper right hand screen tap) (bought it cheap black market brand new failed to check forum first). After it was stable for hours, while connected i upgrade to radio 1.43 and after it installed, it was still plugged and poof. screen faded and no more. not even a red light. (is there a solution?) totally ddead.
anyway I was thinking of buying a tytn II for replacement. should i buy? after all the raves and complaints im not so sure. im buying this because of u guys even if im new. i saw how u guys fixed up the hermes and i loved it even when it was bugging.
Usage summary :
I will abuse it. use it and charge it if battery dies while using it.
I will play games and test its capabilities to all its extent.
Application crazy and of course calls.
I have read of the rlod, battery life sucks, heats up too fast, unproper video drivers, software not working. So should i buy? thanks. im buying 2 coz im going to give it as a gift. but before i throw cash, please since u all have it and a lot of u guys are power users, should i buy it or go for a glofiish or hp ipaq 614 instead?
thanks.
Buying stuff from the black market, and the way you talk? Nope - you should get the IPAQ or the Glitter or something - you are WAY too cool for the Tilt.
It's all up to you...........
TyTN II / Tilt is up to you. From everything you have read in this forum, should be enough for you to make that decision. I can't tell you what you like and dislike. Anyway, Good luck......
I understand but it might be that nobody would post in the forum for raves of the tytn II and the most replied topics would be problem solving. Since a lot of you are actual users, i just want to know if you guys are happy with yours and if you could use it continuously for a long time.

Dont mean no disrespect. im new to this but i will abuse the phone. im just wondering if it could take the same abuse as the hermes did or will this phone heat up too much.
tsk didnt mean to sound fresh but it's mother's day and i would give one to my mom.

So guys, any raves about the tytn II? is it stable enough to use 3-4 hours straight? maybe reading an ebook or playing a game?
It's stable enough for me to last a whole week without restarting. The only reason I restart weekly is because I perform regular backups.

I love you Mom, here's a black market TIlt !
it's a great phone. problem is it has lots of bugs as well. if you can wait for the sony X1.
i should change this title to raves on the tytn II
haha im actually asking for reviews not the decision. because as much bad as it has i bet it has a lot of good. as long as all the major functionality is there id give it as a gift if not nokia n95 for her tytn for me coz i dont mind customizing and doing the work it's just going to be hell if she calls me just to ask phone problems.
yes this freaking phone is a pua tool. cant wait for that reason it's an auto attention getter which makes her invest more time on u and therefore.... (move to next location or simply entertain). in any case chill back guys, hold drinks down not by the chest.
hahaha this is hilarious thanks for making me laugh. yup my thoughts exactly. it's the thought that counts!

thanks i checked the specs but i think that's just like buying an hermes all over again except for the 500 mhz. but sony makes pretty stable phones. but i think it's still time to wait for the ultimate phone right now maybe im up for a second hand hermes and save the money.

She is great too.
I cant wait to clean all this VZW crap off my phone!! This thing will be amazing after we start making our own roms

Yeah
Hope NRG makes roms for our Imagio
Conflipper over on PPCG will be making roms
All i need is a kitchen and to learn how to flash this one. I was making roms for the omnia before i got my imagio so at least i wont have to start from scratch
Update?
It has been a few days, just hoping that someone may have heard something through the grapevine
Besides the Imagio I don't know of any phone other than the Touch Pro2 (which is bulky and has keyboard = me no likey much) that's CDMA and to my liking... I wish the HD2 comes out CDMA/GSM (like Imagio & TP2!!!)
I'm happy with my Imagio with it's mods (from PPCG, but I think the link is here too for the mods...)
does anybody have any REAL updates on the hspl?its been like two weeks no updates.(not rushing just asking)
Havent heard anything but whenever i see this thread has a new post i get a little excited every time

loving the imagio even w/o the unlock
this is a first for me: because my phone's so cool i'm not that concerned for an unlock. i've unlocked all of my other phones from right out of the box cuz i just hated the whole verizon village that they set up on their stuff but this imagio is just so awesome.. don't get me wrong, i can't wait for the unlock!!! but still, it's not a biggie for me like all of the others were.. u?

mhmm, i hear u. it will be nice, indeed
just checking if any one had any good news?
nothing really new even over at ppc
I've PM'd back and forth with cmonex a couple of times now - she's definitely working on it. And she asked if I could help in testing,which I have agreed to do if she can walk me through it - I'm a noob when it comes to that. Other than flashing my Vogue a couple hundred times, I've got no programing experience (phone or otherwise).
I'll post any progress...
arl16, great news. Please keep us posted. Getting very bored with this phone and a little disappointed seeing every other phone out there getting updates while we still wait. If you want anyone else to help you out let me know.
Damn can't wait till we can unlock the beast inside this phone.......
So thee first time i found Xda i was looking for G1 hacks on google and i found this awsome website! How did you find it?

Indeed! If your talking to me
I sent a PM
There is already a thread with same topic but could not found it
I came here 1st time in 2006 looking for a new OS for my beloved Universal and since that time I am here living amongst XDA servers
Was looking for some apps for my Omnia I900 when i forst got it, amongst using this and modaco, I managed to flash winmo 6.5. I then moved onto HTC Touch Elf as I wanted a winmo phone but only had a symbian afterwards, and then got my Hero.
Best Phone Site Ever.
(And off topic kicks ass...)
Looking up hacks for my old old old HTC Wizard. My first touch screen smart phone.
BTW, I just realized I forgot to add it to my retired list.
I didn't find XDA. XDA found me.
I knew about it from a friend who never used it (said he heard about some X website for HTC).
A random guy saw me walking down the street with my tytn, commented on my super new at the time phone and asked what ROM i was running. He showed me xda on the spot and the rest is history lol.

I try to just go throug life and let things happen. It's so much more relax to live like that. So, I try not to DO nothing, and embrace what comes around.
In that sense, I did not find XDA, but it came to me along with my first PDA, a Sanyo Cassiopeia (if I remember correctly), that a friend sold me second hand.
So, it's really the same story as many of the other posters, but my point of view is different.
In 2008, I landed my sweaty hands on a htc tytn 2 (unbranded one), so after a few months. I heard of a wm 6.5 and was I want it on my device also. After, a google search It bought out (drum roll) XDA_Developers.com
Had an SPV c550 and was having problems with it this must be 2006-2007 something like that and got thrown to XDA via link, then got a Magician and didn't join up untill got the Excailbur.
I remember it was 2007, I was curious to know how to tweak my dash...so I found xda just googling. I was 1 year just checking the site just following threads (not sign in as a member). Started looking around and flashed my first rom...stayed cool for a while when I realized afterwards there was another tweak that can looked good in my dash (NGRZ's energy rom for the excalibur) I flashed and brick my first dash .
So, in Nov 2008 I became a member...and yes my first thread was "help!!!! I bricked my dashed...please help me!!!......(not ashamed at all)
After that....a lot of reading, tweaking and bricking. One major thing also that sometime we don't mention beside phones it's the great people around here and friends that probably I will not meet during my life, but this site gave the opportunity to know them and share good momments everyday with them .
That is a touching story! One of the best I've heard
As you mayhave noticed the firstcm7 nightlies were released today. But not for DS.
Have we officially been discontinued now?

Well unless someone steps up to do the G1 work i do believe so. As you can see there is a CM7 for Hero, which runs on about the same specs, more Ram, but we have seen the AOSP Gingerbread builds running quite well on G1, so i guess CM could work too.

You need to think before you post. The OP's question was NOT in ANY WAY out of line.
I hope someone like ezterry can help the team.
or maybe someone can port the build to the g1 (from hero?), like for windows mobile devices(cm6 on htc touch pro,hd2,...).

You actually think that a bunch of random crap added into the end of that thread has any valid meaning?
How about you go ask CM himself... oh wait, somebody already has, and he said very specifically that it HAS NOT BEEN RULED OUT, it is just LOW PRIORITY.
Now personally, CM for Dream was never much good. Just way too much bloat for the hardware. Ezterry's work on the dream is much more interesting.
from cyanogenmod forum:
Sorry folks, end of the line on CM6 nightlies for DS; and I have yet to get confirmation of CM7 Nightlies for DS.
Will open new thread if it materializes.
Till then, thread closed

I asked Cyanogen on Twitter and he replied "Its not off the table but its not high priority either" there is hope yet
To be honest it seems liek alot of devs get our donations, buy themselves a better device then forget about the people who donated..This isnt true with cyanogen though he has supported D/S since first cyanogenmod.But is with others it seems
No worries...

AMEN, AMEN
I believe very few are as intimate with the intricacies of the D/S subsystem as Cyanogen. Those that are intimate with it may not feel the need to keep this hardware going. I admit that I'm eternally grateful to all the ROM developers here for all their hard work. Stock G1 is boring as **** and feels so restricted. Ever since I got root on this phone a year+ ago and started flashing ROMs, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders as if I shed the chains of slavery or some **** lol.
Rock on devs!!
Rock on XDA for providing a hub for all this great stuff.

Well it kinda has been almost 3yrs since the G1 came out, its been officially discontinued and people are moving on...But it seems the G1's community just hasn't died yet, I came here to see if 2.3 was available and I was surprised to see the source for it was up. I was a bit hesitant to use 2.3 since 2.2 was really laggy for me, but I'm sure others are happy with 2.2/2.3. But it's good to see that devs are still supporting this device, I wish the slide's community was this active...I actually feel jealous

True enough, although it has only been out for 2.5 years, and it was sold as recently as maybe 1.5 years ago. That means that people will have them under contract for a while longer yet. Plus, we're talking about expensive devices - people aren't necessarily going to want to upgrade them just for the heck of it (FYI - if anybody is upgrade eligible T-Mo has been giving away free-after-rebate G2s recently on their website).

Have you tried the new radio with the extra RAM? It makes a VERY big difference - my G1 is actually pretty decent running 2.2 with it.
I just replaced my MT3G with a HTC Desire (Bravo). I had so much fun, flashing and customising so thanks to everyone at XDA. I was a recieiver of all your hard work and I am thankful for your efforts.
Yeah, its a sad day for me, but all is not lost as I see that the DESIRE has a CM7 branch and some studious person(s) have worked out a way to get CWM running with full system access on the DESIRE. It will start again, but I will buy a new shell/keys for my MT3G, get it back to "new" looking and keep it, for it was the best phone I ever owned - Peter
