I have posted here for awhile mainly over the Tilt and Wing phones. However I now have a G1 and I am confused. I first bought the G1 over craigslist and swore it had bluetooth audio working. I didn't like the web on it as much as my iPhone so I restored it and was going to sell it. Most on craigslist just wanted $100 for it so I thought no way I will just keep it and they will update it etc.. Plus I didn't like how my iPhone didn't have bluetooth audio.
I re-activated my phone and now no bluetooth audio... I could be hallucinating I guess, maybe a2dp never was working and I am thinking pf just my tilt. I have searched these forums and Google and every post I see says A2DP came with a "cupcake" update in late January 09... however my phone says its up to date and I can't find how to activate it.
Now I have also read about how people are rooting their phones etc.. I am very computer versed and did custom roms and unlocking on my old HTC phones but just a bit out of my element I guess.
Any help would be appreciated!
Your phone says it is up to date probably because it is searching for a T-Mobile USA update. The Android 1.5 rollout for T-Mobile USA hasn't begun yet. It is scheduled to begin in a few days. When that occurs you will have proper A2DP.
Just wait for 1.5 U.S. update (aka "Cupcake") The update suppose to be sent this week coming according to Dominic, T-mobile forums Moderator.

Ok cool! Sorry to repost if I did (I didn't see anything when I searched though)
A2DP is a huge asset over the iphone imo... its the reason I put the iPhone away and pulled this G1 back out...
Any word on multitouch for the G1 though? I like being able to pinch and resize webpages.

You need to root and mod to get Multitouch on the Browser. JFv1.5 ADP. Also comes with A2DP
Not to be a jerk, but you literally had to gloss over like 15 threads all highlighting how to get AD2P and multitouch on your G1 to get to the button to post your thread. This forum is congested enough with people asking redundant questions in individual threads let alone making whole new ones. Next time try searching, or at the very least reading the sticky threads at the top that have "Read First!" plastered all over them.

And iphone will have a2dp in the newest software update.
Multitouch you will need a custom rom by jesusfreke, haykuro or dude. if you install one of those you will get a2dp as well

I went thru about 50 threads all multiple pages with mentions of rooting and a2dp in coming update called cupcake then I found threads that said cupcake was RC30? however many say the newest update is RC33 also said update was set to come out in late january and it is now almost mid may so I assumed it had to be out. There is a ton of misinformation!

Thanks I am excited because I am soooo sick of Windows Mobile and I am a linux ubuntu, suze and red hat freak anyways so I think once I get going a lot will come natuarally! I am hoping anyways!
RC30 was the 3rd update from Google, then came RC33, which is the current stock build(or build, or at least was until Cupcake/1.5 came out. 1.5 has AD2P and many updates. Those of us with Root access can install cooked ROMS, which thanks to guys like Hayruko and Jesusfreke, are already using the 1.5 firmware and have been for a month or so, along with Hacks like multitouch. This info is all readily available on this forum and places like Engaget.

So far it seems to work just like the iPhones multitouch! Its just as sweet as the A2DP imho!

You just know this sub forum is BURNING HOT right now when this thread has 79 views in 12 minutes LOL
Yup, 1 minute from downloading left. LOL, exciting stuff happening all over XDA today.
i really wish i wasn't so stubborn on waiting for camera and mms.
I am still waiting too.... but its ok, I am happy trying them out and seeing where we are at. I will be more than happy whenever it happens
2.1 uh oh
Tehe, thus far I've held off on the 2.1 builds because stuff hasn't been working, I guess since I'm backing up my device and switching ROM builds today anyway I'll have to just accidentally pop this on there and see what happens :-D
Edit: Was unable to get the Market to work at all. No FC message, just fails to start.
Doesnt have all market apps
Olive juice gbhil!!!
Just because I'm straight and don't feel like saying "I love you." I guess you could substitute "Alligator food" in there too.
Thanks for the hard work!

Can anyone confirm if the Verizon FIOS Mobile Remote app is or isn't available in the Market with this ROM?
Wow, this ROM FREAKING FLIES.
The pinch to zoom on the home screen is blazing fast. I am extremely impressed. 2.1 on our devices is going to be awesome. Thanks again for your hard work Gbhil!!!!
**Edit**
Location, like all other 2.1 ROMs I've tried though, is off. It initially said I was in Kansas City, which is right, but it quickly changed to "Washington" which is what the other roms said, which DEFINITELY isn't right
Could someone who has run both this one an flipz new release compare the two? I'd really like to know how they differ if they do at all. Thanks in advance

Oh trust me I know that reading is a good thing, I'm not that big of a n00b lol, but I just wanted some first hand experiences like how the ROMS feel, not necessarily what's in them
To add to my previous post, the location services are working fine, it just seems (like in other 2.1 roms) that the location noted in the HTC home screen clock is what isn't working properly.
I get the correct location returned in one of my test apps, and see myself fine in the Google maps v4, so I dunno...maybe there's something missing with the HTC Location Services apk?
Oh yeah, and SetCPU is awesome on this rom too
would i have to wipe this coming from fresh rom??
i had force close on "3g Update"?!?!
I just noticed: txt messages after daylight savings got a bit screwy for some people, where messages would be stamped an hour earlier and be out of order. Now Ive sent and recieved a few txts and they are showing the correct order and timestamps.
Anyone else?
Using Gumbo 2.1
dying to try damageless's v1 rom, but;
wtf is SecretControlModem.apk (and odex)
maybe just being paranoid...
I had a previous post about this. It was in the original 2.1 flip and them posted. No one ever answered me. So, it's not Damage's.
google search gives nothing either. it references these threads. fishy.
Why don't you flash and pull those files out and see what happens

also im not saying anyone has DONE anything fishy with their roms... (we're all basically using the same rom now anyway, whole lot of cut and paste going on) its just weird that this package is referenced NOWHERE

I saw that in the Eris dump when i was playing with it. The way i figure, if it's some call home tattletale app built into test software, it calls back to verizon and I have unlimited data - at that point I chuckled and stopped caring.

it comes from the Eris dump. If it's some tracking software put in there to keep people from sharing it, it will call back to Verizon. It wont cost me anything, since data is free.
then i realized i was getting freaked out over phone software, so I just laughed at myself and installed anyway.
It very well could be something that whoever leaked it out put in. I don't have anything I care about on my phone. I'm not suggesting it's safe, just that I thought I was silly.

It was in the Eris ROM. I don't know why any of the other devs didn't catch it.
how do i remove this? i tried it via root explorer and it didn't work...
hmmm. under further inspection i believe it takes screenshots as it contains the same exact instructions as shootme in the apk. very strange. kinda scary. i remember someone on said on the forum where the eris was leaked tht the guy who posted it will be able to see everything you do and he and the guy who started the post has only 1 post on xda to this day
but no big worrys lol it also contains png's with htc's logo.

Yea how do we get rid of this? If it's taking screenshots wouldn't they be stored somewhere on the phone - at least temporarily?

im not sure. in the resources theres nothing to specify that. its like it takes a screenshot when you do something to trigger it and bam it sends? lol creeeepy
I've tried examining the apk myself, where are you seeing instructions that relate to ShootMe? Is it not also possible it is similar because you are looking at aspects of the APK that would be shared across most APKs in general?
Not saying this isn't something malicious, just curious what we have to suggest that it truly is.
I'm hoping its a case of "Paranoia will destroy ya", but I supposed it is possible we are all running some kind of screen-grabbing trojan. In the meantime, either follow gbhil and remove them, or hope its something legit we just don't understand.
OMG, I saw this video on that new app for the Galaxy S.
Is there a way to port it to the EVO?
Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S
saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested
Now thats an Interesting feature....
In for this.
That is brilliant.
That is sweet!!!
guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..
that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume
Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?
that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.
I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.

Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people
Hey I'm on stock with root and I use bloat freezer to stop all the junk apps. Anyways since gingerbread was pushed to the DX silently it upgraded stock DX with root. I want to try to avoid that. What function is in the tbolt that I can freeze to do this?
there was no silent update you must agree to the terms and conditions for an update to be installed

I know its about the DX but it doesnt mean its going to be limited to only Motorola phones. DX is part of the Verizon family so is the Tbolt, I'm afraid it may follow suit. If it is true that Verizon is cracking down on roots. Then what's stopping Verizon pushing a "silent" update to the tbolt as well.

His question was answered in the second post, there is no silent OTA. If you don't like humor i'm sure fox news has some forums that you could post in.

While I know that it's possible to block an OTA that way as well, ClockworkMod Recovery does block update.zips from installing.
I would hope that something would prevent a "silent" OTA.
