weekly tip for G1 (Android)- Part of Tech Updates (#1)

[N3XU551X]

i think "brick" means you've rendered your phone useless a brick. lol

[cpdkw]

thanks... I was wondering about the invisible shield... but I wasn't going to get it anyway. Now you confirmed my suspicion.

Of course, when this vid was out, there was not cupcake. But the new cupcake update has the option of flipping the orientation. And I decided to turn it off because it's too sensitive and slow. Maybe I'll turn it on later. Anything fancy draws battery, you know.

[kslikk34]

I think it was a bad choice not to have auto-rotate on the G1, as well as not having touch key pad on the screen. That would have killed the competition.

[CoolPsTuts]

but you can do that with modding :)

[lishiyao]

hey man, I have a serious problem with my G1 (rc33). Everytime my friend call me, I press the answer key, it doesn't response (most of the times); when I call my friend, I press the end key, it has to wait maybe another 5 seconds, so annoying.

Is there anyway you could find out what the problem is? Thank you so much.

[joelop83]

[ronii1123]

Brick is when someone messes with the flash trying to update (or mod) of a device and the update ends up being unsuccessful resulting in a brick happens to any system even if you try normal upgrades if the system turns off in the middle of it you get a bricked unuseful device

[midorian12491]

bricking is putting your phone completely dead

[CoolPsTuts]

Thanks, but I figured that out (this video was whne I was a noobz :P) Thanks thou ;)

[midorian12491]

wats this cupcake thing man, and did it come out? but uhmm have u found any other cool apps,i like handscent, instinctive player, and shazzam are stil my fav.

[R3DBULLX23]

whats handscent? and instinctive player? i have a g1

[KHgamer11]

Testing

[derrick3422]

Its when your phone does nothing is exactly what it sounds like you phone will be as useful as a brick and or paperweight

[imhungery]

I think they should have had the feature where you go into landscape by tilting it just so it could be more comparable to the iphone. But defiantly make it to where you could toggle it on and off. And i think HTC made the call.

[GUCHCARNAGE]

g1 owners go to apps store video recorder on there now its laggy and full of bugs but it does work

[Peter8831]

There is also a web browser called steal which you can download from android market. It enables auto rotation and a virtual keyboard with any updates whatsoever!

[dave3030]

It's called "Steel", actually.

[arturovw]

one thing i really want to know is, how do you change the back keylight on the phone, i have the back one and it works fine, but i had the white one and you cant see the keys in the middle of the day because the color matches the backlight color, and i really want a bronze one but it had the same keyboard as white, hlpe me out dude or anyone oout there who knows how to.

[jicaley]

there is now an app for it. I think it was in the 'tools' section.

[CoolPsTuts]

the app is called "dark keys"

[ericshams]

how did u get that dock like thing on your phone its cool

[CoolPsTuts]

look at my latest vid

[xvict0rxx]

how did you get the locked apps at the bottom?

and whats the cupcake link?

[Ivansterrr]

Coool videoo mann :)

[geegizzle]

i was ready to blast your ass, but after watching the whole thing, you did good. i learned from everything you brought up. the thing that i didn't like is, you brought up something, sorry i forgot, it was an app or something and you forgot what it was called. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE know whatever you're talking about and what it's called. other than that, great job.

[CoolPsTuts]

are you talking about droidsans app?

[mikeking2k6]

What the f***. No offense to anyone, but I feel like an internet geek right now. I'm up on youtube and all kind of forum sites tryna figure out when this update comes out. I've heard mid to late january, after hearing it was to be here early january and an almost definate for the 11th, which did not happen. So, I'm starting to get p-ed off and would like to get back to my regular late night with a girl or two instead of worrying about this. But it sounds so mesmerizing!!

[DSBP1]

I want the cupcake....as far as the question, I think those are some of the tweaks that shows that this phone was rushed..

[BBoyInferno2k3]

Well I should put my BB Storm up and turn my G1 on and see if I should be getting this update. Thanx for the info

[15312613521363278453]

why didnt i get the cupcake update its the 11 so i should have it plzz help and tell me how to get it

[CoolPsTuts]

Well I had the same question so I called T-mobile and they said that Google is doing their best to get it out as fast as possible (that's what she said) So nobody was supposed to get it today. Plz subscribe i you think this is helpful =]

[15312613521363278453]

why didnt i get the cupcake updata yet plz tell me or help cuz today is the 11 and it should be here!!!!!!!!!!!

[ejrod0]

lol u sound nervous

[CoolPsTuts]

that's what she said...lol,

but nahh I was probably not perky at the time I shot, My enthusiasm will be better next time =].

[mikeking2k6]

Why does a girl I know say that all the time. That's what she said.... you go to SIUC?

[boomer30]

should of came with a auto rotate feature.

My biggest gripe of all is that the headphone jack is a micro USB connector.

Good Video, I subscribed

[usman7890]

haha "call dan"

[bms81581]

The decision not let auto rotate was a mistake. It is going to come with the new cup cake update I believe. I am more disappointed that they decided not to compete with the game market like the iphone. Hopefully this year it opens up.

[CoolPsTuts]

The Android market is going to be much better now that it will have priced apps, EA games are making game apps for the g1 as we speak (type..lol) =]

[drupe3000]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[CoolPsTuts]

What would you like me to do to make you not bored?
