I got a response to sign an NDA and supply my IMEI of my phone for the alpha.. will probably do that in the next couple days and hopefully get my hands on the alpha build.

Lol, does sound like they dumped me.
where do you signup for beta?
There was an update at the top of the beta signup page, that they were no longer accepting new testers. Shouldn't be a surprise if you got a rejection notice. lol

that's prob not going to work anyhow as they are requiring you to provide your IMEI and Skyfire relies on a server so it prob will be locked to authorized IMEIs.

I agree and didn't appreciate it. If they only wanted 30 testers then they didn't need to ask publicly for testers. I regret sending them my IMEI which they requested BEFORE they rejected me. I can wait for Flash 10.1 which will negate any need for Skyfire, imo.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend releasing the apk if anyone has it. I was on blackberry when Skyfire was alpha testing for bb and the app was leaked. It took Skyfire about 2 hours to shut the whole alpha test down for a month while they revamped their procedures for security checking the testers. now the whole bb test is gone.
I'd say just be patient on this one.

hahah I remember that one. I had it on my bb for 20 mins before it stopped working. BTW skyfire just announced that they stopped developing for bb for now until 6.0 is out.
For those who want flash that bad just install the Desire rom it has flash. It cool but it is very choppy for my taste.

- Because they didn't have to make sure Amazon Marketplace, MyFaves, Yahoo IM, MSN IM, & AIM would work on it.
- Because a different management team controls Europe than the one that controls the US, and they made different decisions about how long to wait before releasing it.
Pick one.

You will not receive normal OTA updates from T-mobile. You can either upgrade manually or download the JF Updater from the market.

Of course it will. The one on the HTC page is for the Android Developer Phone, not the US G1. The US G1 version will take away root and add MyFaves, Amazon Market, and Yahoo, MSN, and AOL IM.
i find the htc's 1.5 still really choppy and laggy.. kinda dissapointed with it
I wonder how much of a difference there will be other than Tmobile apps of course.
I got tired of waiting and upgraded myself last night,I also got root access.Tmobile and HTC can shove it up their ass.....we US users pay the highest prices,get the phone first and we have to wait.
The new 1.5 cupcake comes with some nice new features but still kinda laggy,but it´s worth it.
I also see absolutely no reason to wait. JF1.5 ftw.

Having the update coming out first doesn't mean its good, the US may want to modify its update by looking at the other updates to make it perfect
Something that a really like on the 1.5 is the option to select high quality on youtube.
The on-screen keyboard is nice too for quick texting but the buttons are quite small.. since g1 screen is smaller than the iphone.. other than that scrolling is still choppy.. battery still need A LOT of improvements.. btw i dont really know why g1's battery sux so hard since the cpu is clocked at mediocres ~240mhz - ~380mhz max instead of 528mhz.. oh yeah gps is better now.. works even inside buildings for the most part.
Hey forum,
Well its official...i work for at&t and woke up to an email in my outlook that samsung is waiting for the final approval before the end of the month!! It seems the release date has been changing weekly. I originally had asked the head honcho samsung telecommunications rep (whose name I will leave un said) on saturday and didn't expect such a quick response.
Well there you have it forum its on the way!! and the 2.3 rumor is false.

I would love to know which "buggy" froyo leaks people on the forums are talking about. The worst 2.2 beta that I have put on my phone is 1000 times better than the "final" builds that Samsung has put out. JH7 in particular is pure garbage (maybe not with bugs but it's features are neutered).
Bottom line, if anyone is still waiting for Froyo you deserve to wait as long as it takes them to crap out your bloated AT&T neutered froyo. I'll eat my keyboard if they put usb tether back in and don't cripple wifi tether so you have to pay for it.

I, along with most people, are excited for the official release because that means source code follows shortly after. When the source code is released it means all sorts of stable roms, and tweaks to existing roms.
I really don't see why you and other people get so heated over other people wanting this released. I imagine by your attitude that you're running a custom rom. If that is the case there is no doubt you have flashed multiple beta releases of multiple roms and have had some issues along the way.

It's really not that I have a particular disdain for the official release but honestly I'm just an end user I don't have a huge problem with a memory leak if the browser is fast and I don't care about quadrant benchmarks etc. I don't really know what those things are or what they measure. What I do care about is removed features and willful crippling of the OS. The source code just means the rom devs will need to put out a few crappy buggy versions of their roms while they try to figure out how to "fix" all the crap samsung and AT&T broke. I saw it with JH7 I don't think froyo will be any different.

Im my experience CM7.1 is not really stable yet on the G2x. I guess that depends on your definition of stable, but I was having a lot of problems, even with the release canditate. I absolutely loved CM on my nexus one, but it might be better to wait for a stable build for this phone unless your helping out with bug tracking and what not.
Yeah that's what i'm going to do, wait for a stable build.

They were supposed to launch the app on 21.09.2013, and then supposedly, their servers couldn't take the load. Last I heard about it was a tweet 8 days ago saying that they are "100% committed" to launching the app on Android and ios.
Unbelievable... that they should take so long, considering their expertise.

Back in Beta
The users in the beta program for BBM for the android platform is saying that it's back in beta, with a screenshot showing the download page showing a ver. "100.0.0.71".
Hopefully this doesn't leak and it's back online in the next 2 weeks at least

Hope it lives up to expectations this time.
However, with so much going on with Blackberry, I now have doubts if this app will ever see the light of day.
According to a news site today:
In an interview to Reuters, Frank Boulben, BlackBerry's chief marketing officer, said he expects the BBM to launch on Android and iOS "within days," adding that the company is confident that it fixed issues that arose after the initial cross-platform launch of the messaging service last month.
...within days.......

Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.
Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.
If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.
