G1 Discussion / Any good themes?

« on: February 23, 2009, 01:57:50 pm »

I finally got around to rooting my phone this morning and would like to put a nice theme on it.  I looked around over at XDA but didn't find anything that I really liked that was released.  A lot of the really nice looking ones say they aren't releasing until mid-March until after the contest is done.  Does anyone have links to any themes that are released for RC33 that you're liking?

G1 Discussion / G1 Software Updates

« on: January 28, 2009, 12:54:51 pm »

I know that there hasn't been an update to Android in a while now but everyonce in a while I notice changes to the built in applications.  For instance, about a week ago I was using the GPS with directions and noticed that when the blue dot went off the screen, the screen would automatically recenter on the dot.  It used to just go off the screen and I'd have to move manually.  One of the biggest annoyances I had was that I couldn't play WAV files attached to e-mails.  When I receive e-mails at work they are e-mailed to me as WAV files.  It's never let me listen to them before but today there was a play button in the GMail client and it was able to play.  I checked and I'm still on RC30.  Do they make updates to the software mid-release and distribute them without notification?

Development Questions / PhoneGap

« on: December 17, 2008, 01:41:48 pm »

Has anyone on here ever used PhoneGap to develop any Android applications?  It looks cool but really has poor documentation.  I've started developing an application but would like to have it where all of my images and HTML code are stored on the phone itself and then do some AJAX stuff to query information.  I haven't been able to figure out how to include the HTML docs and images on the phone as of yet though.

G1 Tech support / Weak Vibrate

« on: December 10, 2008, 10:03:43 am »

I just got a G1 last night and love it.  The one thing that I've noticed though is that the vibrate is very weak.  My last phone (Nokia 5300) was fairly weak but nothing compared to this.  Is there anyway to fix this?  Any attachments or apps that will let this thing really vibrate?

Development Questions / Print Via Bluetooth/WiFi

« on: November 26, 2008, 01:42:23 pm »

I've seen programs for Windows Mobile devices that allow printing documents via Bluetooth and WiFi.  I know that the Bluetooth SDK isn't quite ready yet but what about being able to print via WiFi?  Is this something that could happen in the near future?  My boss owns a landscaping business.  They use a web based application to track everything along with printing invoices and change orders.  The web app works fantastic on the G1.  The idea is for them to be able to have a bluetooth printer in their truck and print a change order/invoice straight from their phone while they are out on the job.
