Any digi users experiencing signal problem? Digi is currently not in service on my phone. I use the "search networks" but i found only either Maxis or "error" while searching network. What gives?

haiyo.. then later my bill will skyrocket.. damn..

You can validate it using wifi. For version 1.1 and above, you can skip the validation part 1st,therefore you can use your wifi after that. As for the GPRS/EDGE usage, the best solution that I can think of is just delete your apn smile.gif so that your phone can't use the gprs/edge/3g. Don't worry, sms and call still work though, but mms won't I think.

Yo grazy, prolly i'll just wait for another few days. If the problem still persists, I might considering getting a new sim card. Meanwhile, I saw the news of new cupcake update. With my G1, an unlocked set, is it possible for me to update via the system update of the phone itself? or I should get other versions of cupcake?

if you have jf/haykuro/dude custom firmware, you can download apps jfupdater from market and upgrade your g1 to cupcake using the apps thumbup.gif

hey i would like to ask all the pros here, how do i get apps2sd, and can i use it on the ion rom??? and is there a rom that is less laggy than the ion??? i mean its smooth, but at times it can get a little laggy..


Added on June 27, 2009, 9:12 pmoh yea, and another question.. is there a way to switch off the applications running in the background?
*
yes, u can use apps2ds on ion rom.. but since u also ask is there is better rom than ion, i recommend you to use cyanogen rom( get it here ) It also smoother( in my opinion), but also will do apps2sd automatically for you. It even do apps2sd better compared to other rom. But, for it to automatically implement apps2sd, make sure you have 2 partition on ur sd card( one ext2 and the other one fat. )

I'm now using v3.5 of the rom, ( which include htc camera which way superior than default camera) and rarely encounter lag( but there still some lag, of course.)

as for your 2nd question, i recommend advanced task manager. search it in the market. icon_rolleyes.gif

hey, btw, is there like a tutorial on how to flash the rom to cyanogen??? coz all they gave in XDA-dev is the file.. sorry coz im really noob, and ive never done this before..

oh yea, and if i flash to cyanogen, do i haf to wipe the fone? and if i do, wont all my apps disappear???
*
firstly, if you want app2sd done automatically by the rom, you need to have two partition in your sd card, one ext2 and one fat. I recommend using a ubuntu live cd and use the partition manager to make your partition. 500mb -800mb of ext2 should be enough for all of your apps need smile.gif . Be warned though, if you have class 2 sd card, I dont think its a good idea to use apps2sd. If you dont have the cd, maybe you can use this apps.

When done partitioning your sd card, put the cyanogen rom you download to the root of your sd card, and rename it to update.zip. Then off your phone, and then press power button + home to enter recovery mode. There choose option to update from sd card. When done, restart your phone. Congratz rclxms.gif now you're using CM rom with apps2sd thumbup.gif

as for whether you need to wipe or not, Im not so sure about that, and yes, if you wipe, you'll lose al of your apps.. and configuration too.
