Hi guys, I got about 26 of market apps installed ^^; Some of them I hardly use, however quite handy when need them such as Flash, GPS status, Barcode scanner....
Magic will be available in Europe by third quarter of 2009, heard NZ also going to get it soon. Definitely there will be parallel import unless HTC Malaysia is aware that there is a small group of Androidian asking for Magic to happen. ^^; Yes, you are rite, Android is an open source but yet Google still force-patched all the root access started from RC30. It's not as open as RC29 lor! Why would they do it? It's all about money.

Yalor, think HTC and android is doing express pace to capture the market especially before iPhone 3G second gen roll out ^^ by the end of 2009. Roger...roger!! Waiting for Joseph to pass me those wonderful links.
Actually i have nv been so happy with a phone b4.. Guess if the new firmware come out, G1 will be that powerful.. Hope those small little bugs will go away!! G1 Forever!!
another satisfied G1 user...

Jave, have you tried any HTC dream from Singtel?
Any diff from the RC33? Does it see any paid apps? ^^
shud be the same ma... wonder does the dream comes with cupcake
Ha..ha...the reason I'm asking is wanted to find out any special kernel in the Singtel firmware (RC8) that enable regional features such as seeing paid apps in the market ^^
Confirm no cupcake yet for the Dream.
how u know no cupcake? RC8 ah?? can we flash to this firmware?
QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 27 2009, 03:49 PM)
is this phone officially supported here or are all g1 phones are AP set?
Ha..ha..because some Singtel users complaining no cupcake and even got some minor bugs, they are asking in XDA forum whether can flash to RC33 or not ^^; What he meant is the "ap" G1 in Malaysia is not really an ap, they are just parallel imported by individuals (not really a company like CSL) to sell in here, some even don't come with any personal "ap" warranty, buy at your own risk.
However we are all proud Androidian
Just moved all the gmail and maps cache to SDcard!! ^^
so envy ur rooted G1, always done sumthin that mine cant do.... haha...
QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 27 2009, 04:33 PM)
oh so it has no real warranty from ap dealers..
if got problem can the local shops here fix it.. and does it have a common prob?
i dun think shops here can fix that, since singapore officially distribute maybe their shop could do that....or perhaps ask grazy for its service manual...
anyway beside the qweeky sound, no problem at all physically...
To lek: Actually quite risky also to have our G1 rooted, security concerns, especially all ur info is attached to gmail account. Dangerous, but fun lah ^^
To Opera33: go and grab task manager for roots, and start killing those unwanted apps running in the background draining ur battery. If u have 3G data plan, u may start using tether ur G1 using ur lappie. Turn ur G1 to a little wifi modem.
To naTTan: Wee....thanks for those wonderful tips, i'have been searching this piece of fun high & low, now end up using GMX to pull all my emails & send it to gmail ^^; Will test ur hackie out later.
thank u, thank u ^^
To alpha: ha..ha...tempted to to get one leh! Look at the garage mobile sale thread.There are few of them, if not mistaken, one is a whitie selling at 1750. ^^ happy hunting!!
i'm in penang now, searching for food ^@^,
yup i know is risky, but who the hell want to hack ah?? i want the fun!!!!
Guys, go & check this out, still under demo, grab it before it goes away: Four Screens + 2 tabs
Seems useful ^^ to have more screens!
why i cant d/l it on my G1?? it prompt cannot d/l cause not supported...

SUPER TIP
If any of u guys don't want to use the 3G/EDGE that is always connected in G1, there is this simple method to disable it.
Just go to Setting>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access point Names>(select ur APN)Digi>APN>(delete 1 letter) ie:Diginet become Digine and then save.
Thats it, the EDGE/3G logo will disappear from top but u can still make calls.
If you need to use EDGE/3G just follow the instruction but add back the letter u deleted.
* works with DIGI, not sure about Maxis and Celcom
initially when i use G1 i also tend to do that but our G1 meant to be online 24/7 to fully utilise it...

Yahrei...yahrei!! Thanks for the tips.
You may use APNdroid from the Market, serve the same purpose, just more GUI user friendly.
rite!!

i have wifi at home and campus. plus even most of the mamak shops also offer free wifi now. so don't wan to spend extra RM30 on EDGE.
I wonder if the Penang government is going ahead with island wide free wifi project or not, if they do then it will be the best place to use this phone.lol
if its ur location majority is these place, then its ok la.... for me. i'm running here and there, no choice lor
QUOTE(grazy @ Mar 2 2009, 08:33 AM)
Yah..yah!! Better stock urself up with an extra battery or extended battery pack, like me ^^;
If you only want to use the mms and not the EDGE, then you can create new APN and key in this info;then u can delete your old APN. If u wanna use both then just merge this setting to your old APN.
Thanks grazy for your help in setting up the mms. By the way have you solved the qweky sound from your G1 coz unfortunately now my G1 have started giving the sound as well. Hope you can let me know how to stop the sound if you have found the way. Thanks in advance. I wanna ask fellow G1 users if you guys have tried the Invisible Shield from US. I'm thinking of buying one for my phone. My G1 already have a screen protector but I'm looking to protect my whole phone from scratches but I don't like the bulky protectors.
thx for sharing the info!!!
regards the invisible shield, its not recommended if you r not expert in doing details thingy!!! mine failed and $$ gone!!!

^^; u are most welcome and thanks for putting this up, definitely beneficial to future G1 DIGI users.
Yah, regarding the squeky sound, almost forgot to put this up here. For more info you may follow this thread here. There are few methods, some quite intrusive (permanent shaving) however some quite easy to follow also (involve patching only).
The following hack is the most comfortable to me as I just mounted a tiny piece of the soft-side velcrow on the side near SDcard cap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsOMoIWYkHQ
Happy hacking to better G1!!
wat is the velcrow?? any other alternatives?? the youtube i cant see any patches??

Thanks for the info. Did the shield started peeling off at the edges? Is there any other options? Wat are you using now to protect your G1? Hope you can let me know; scared my G1 get deep scratches. lol
actually there is too much tiny bubbles and of course the edges "masuk habuk" .......... and also encounter problem with the sesitivity of da screen... very bad response... i think its not suitable for G1 at all
i'm using now martin field overlay plus.... very happy with it
Yah-rei...yah-rei.... some leisure review reading on Singapore HTC Dream (Singtel Unit).
I noticed that the qwerty keyboard color is in blue color. The 'HTC' wordings rather than our 'T-Mobile' near the speaker. Wonder why not 'Singtel" eh?? The whole qwerty keyboard is glossy type. Ha..ha...and the front panel 4-buttons are in the same color neh (light blue) ^^;
HardwareZone rated it 4 out of 5 stars
WOW!!! that makes our G1 more precious!!! ours are really android themed with greenie.... blue!!?? wth... the glossy part also feel like non-high end... haih...poor dream.. just my 2cent
