Alright... So I searched around the forums... and I have noticed this app and how it has been pulled from the marketplace. So... I recently bought the HD7 and I am a bit disappointed when I hook this bad boy up to my car radio... So my question is... Can I get this app still or do I have to unlock the phone and get it that way? I honestly do not want to hack this phone... That's basically all I did with Android to get it to work right and I don't want to go through that again...

I lost my n1 the other day when i got drunk. Assurion is charging me 130 for a "Comparable" phone. Im pretty sure i left my phone in a friends car but im not sure
Does anyone know what happens if i end up finding my phone after ive got a replacement? Do they somehow blacklist my phone from being used?
Did you install any kind of app that would use gps to locate in case of emergency on your phone? Like look out mobile or wheres my droid ?? If not I got no idea. But though if you happen to find your phone after the replacement. Sell the new one on craigslist or ebay. The nexus one still going around 300 to 450.

Hi, i found a guy selling his G1 on the web, her in Portugal. I own an HTC Diamond, as you know i can´t, unless with haret, have android on my phone. I've tried it and fell in love with Android. Is it worth it to buy the phone? The guy ask for about €60. I know the specs are somewhat similar to the Diamond, but it runs native Android. For +/- the same price i can buy, new, some ZTE or Huawei phone, but nothing that compares to the "feelling" of holding an HTC. What do you guys think, is it a good deal? Or for this price is a way too outdated smartphone??
Thanks in advance for your replies.

HTC Dream (no doubt great phone itself) but as u said, it's way too outdated, u rather go for Hero (atleast supports Adobe Flash), Using HTC G1 since it's release, If u just wanna use Android as just basic & not function freak, just go for it (it'll make u buy next gen Android)
But if you wanna enjoy Android at it's best, go for Hero (cause of it's SENSE UI & support for Eclair Officially) OR some Moto Droids ...............
If you wanna spend money & wanna use it all for years, I suggest go for some updated device (i.e. nexus 1/S, Droid, Galaxy etc)
but if u wanna go for some old great devices, u surely wanna go for HTC Hero OR G1 .............
I bought a G1 in Nov. 2010,I am loving it so much.
But honestly,the ram of G1 is too small.many games can't be run on G1.
If you have enough money,you'd better buy a better android phone such as desire,defy...
I recently gave a friend my g1 and got a vibrant but I would buy another g1 for testing things out such as flashing roms.
I sent this from my Vibrant!
If you want a working, stable and reliable phone then you can't go wrong with the G1.
But if you are planning on playing 3D games or expecting significantspeed then the G1 will not suffice.
I love my HTC dream don't get me wrong, I'd also recommend a great Donut Rom or the one in my signature.

I guys, thanks for your replies. After all the G1 was an china clone of the G1, it didn't had the sliding screen and, fatal to me, no wifi. I ended up buying an HTC Magic for €50.
Hey all,
I'm wanting to get another Android phone as I got rid of my HTC Wildfire. I'm thinking about getting the G1 as its cheap and seems as though it can perform well.
I'm looking at buying one that is locked to T-Mobile and has the newest carrier updates on. My question is can it be unlocked? and does Cyanogen mod perform well?
Thanks!
It would be worth having one now, but getting one from fresh... that would depend on how cheap you can get one and if you think you need a hard-QWERTY. The G1 is quite old... and you may be more content with adding more funds for a G2.
I recently bought a G1 for cheap, and it is great currently have it running gingerbread which works really quite well, a lot more so then i thought cyanogenmon 6 did.
I also believe that they can be unlocked quite easily as well
Thanks for the info
I'm looking at a G1 also, coming from a CDMA Moment with 2.2.2 and looking to switch to GSM. The Moment has a faster processor(?) but is not a very good at some things, like being a phone. Is the G1 a good PHONE? I can get a good ROM for the things I want but does the phone part work well?
G1 okay phone, easy to mod. if you like tinkering.
G1 is an okay phone. My partner at work uses a Blackberry, he can't hear the person at the other end without an ear piece, I don't have that issue on my G1.
I do NOT love my G1, it's bulky/heavy and I don't feel the build quality is as good as some of the other phones. The Speaker is on the back of the phone, opposite from the display - seriously who does that? Samsung for example always puts the speaker above the main screen.
The Keyboard has very small keys but it IS a 5 row keyboard, you can get good with some practice, but some of the newer phones, ex: T-Mobile Sidekick 4G has a keyboard/CPU/display that I almost can't believe how good it is, however they have the dumbest overlay I've ever seen, haha, can't have it all I guess.
The G1 is reliable, it's just not very pretty, if it's cheap, it's a deal.
Hi,
I am contemplating putting my G1 up for sale.
It is the one in my Signature.
Lemme know.
Heeter
If you don't play big games, g1 is enough, however, you cannot buy a new one now.
If I were you, I will buy another new phone.
I suggest a HTC Wildfire at least :/ g1 is maybe just too slow even for normal use if your gonna even get apps :'(
Honestly, no. Get a higher end device and you will be much happier.. I just got a HD2 and it is a huge improvement over the G1, and very worth investing in.
The G1 can't run many of the apps on market because it is too slow, including live wallpapers, angry birds rio, etc..
It depends on how much you can get if for. I got mine for US$50 used a few weeks a go. It's really slow and low on capacity but it's a great entry phone to Android for me. Learned a lot with it. It works great as a phone. And the best part is, if I brick it, I will not feel bad. Just pull the SIM and move to the next cheap phone I can find.
Just saw someone selling one for $30 on craigslist. I would definitely get that one if I haven't got this one.
I completely agree with the above statement ^^
I would love to get an G1 for a nice 2nd/back up phone since my bb 8900 curve have self rebooting problems

I had a chance to get the HD7 when it just came out, however I opted for the HD2 because I'm used to the following...
1) Having my text messages read out loud.
2) It acts like a regular USB device
3) Bought a slingbox app for it
4) Skype works well with it
5) I use the Remote Desktop Connection
I know the Mango update came out yesterday for the HD7, does anyone know if the ones I posted above will work on the HD7. I'm really sad that I lost my HD2, but Asurion doesn't have it anymore. Sigh. I guess it's time to upgrade my phone anyway since Windows Mobile is dead. Anyone wanna help convince me that it's for the best? Thank you in advance.
lol, i'm in the same situation but my phone fell in the toilet. thank god for snug plastic phone covers or phone really would have been ****ted. i'm trying to figure out if i still want to complete my claim or not. but i'm enjoying this miui droid rom too much on my hd2.
Oh no, I guess it doesn't support WiFi tethering either....sigh...
I've had it with the nexus one. I got the phone over 2 months ago and the amount of problems I have had with it are endless. To list a few
1.The screen goes dead all of a sudden
2. Cannot take calls, I cant listen to the dial tone when I make calls. Its only on speaker can I listen to the other caller
3. The battery back up is awful, I have to charge it for 5-6 hours straight
4.The music player gets stuck, the music player on the n1 sucks. Every time half way through the playlist it gets stuck and I get the wait,forceclose or report option
5. The on screen keypad is awful. I was glad to get hold of few apps that helped solve this
6. Updating of the OS, I have tried every method that has been posted in the internet to update my n1 from the outdated 2.2.1 to froyo or gingerbread. None of them have worked maybe because the files are outdated as every post or video I came across was almost 2 years old.
If anyone can help me in putting an end to this misery that would be the most helpful.
did you try super one click to root?

if you need help updating your phone make use of this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide i have followed the instructions that were there and i have fully upgraded my nexus one to GB and ICS
Like said, Root the device the correct way. And if possible, use a custom ROM, preferably CM7.
if incase all your rooting method fails. u still can unlock ur bootloader and can flash cm rom

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of not rooting my phone so that I can make use of the warranty. I might actually have to get a new N1 given the issues I had with this one. Do i absolutely have to root?
@omglol23: Where did you buy the phone? Should return for a repair if it is still under warranty.
I got it from the states, bestbuy to be even mor precise. But is there no way to update it without rooting the phone. This seems like an impossibility. Is there a customer care for nexus one? I get redirected to the samsung nexus s.
I tried updating to frg83d from frg83 which also failed still stuck with android 2.1, feel like crying
Dude i seriously doubt that you r having a vodafone n1....i was going through the same situation as you....for vodafone n1..follow this guide carefully

Since you don't want to root your phone coz of the warranty, I suggest have it check try contacting HTC and see if they can repair your phone. Possibly they might be able to update it for you once they repaired it.
