    Verizon ALLOWS Tethering?!?! WTF

    I don't know if I just got transported through the space time continuum to a bizzaro universe, but I just went into Wireless settings and saw a new section where they allow you to setup USB or WiFi tethering. IT'S BUILT IN?!?! Can someone pinch me please? So far there have been no popups...

    Sudden call termination issue

    While it is normal for cell phones to have dropped calls, sometimes my phone wigs out and won't let me call at all. Just curious if anyone has experienced this. Usually when it happens, if i try to redial the number I was connected to, it'll try to call but then immediately terminate(like after...

    Google doesn't support Google???

    Does anyone else find it strange that many basic Google things aren't supported yet? The first one I noticed was Google Earth after I drooled over someone's iPhone wielding it. Then I realized today that the web-based gCalendar is not supported through the native browser. It gave me a "not...

    Free Battery Upgrade! OMG! WTF!

    ***Sorry for the double post Mods, but I thought this was worthy of being in the T-Mobile G1 and News forums. If you must delete one of them I will not hold it against you.*** My coworker just called in a threatened to switch to a Blackberry because of the horrid battery they threw in here. And...

    Key Layout Change?

    I find it kind of clumsy for the TALK and END buttons to be on different sides of the phone. Does anyone else have that same feeling? Just seems slightly unnatural. Do you think it would be an improvement to have the keys rearranged?

    Accessories Where are you buying ur G1 accessories?

    I can't believe the prices on some of these accessories. I want a splitter so I can charge and listen with headphones, but it's like $20 after shipping. you know that thing costs like 3 cents to produce in some country where don't even pay people a fair wage.

    Light Sensor on G1

    Inspired by reading a different thread about wishing that the backlit keyboard would stay off during the day, and remain on when active while in dark surroundings, wouldn't it be awesome if they had a little light sensor built in, think of the possibilities for developers. either that or the...

    MOD HIJACK: This is now the official Wishlist Thread. Please use it accordingly. Thanks for the HIJACK. Instead of discussing crazy apps that would be cool, I think there is still a lot of basic feature improvement that can be done to Android (which might include integrating some current...

    New Method for mounting SD Card

    Not sure if it happened with the RC29 or RC30 update but they removed the setting option to "Allow File Browsing on Computer"(or something like that) from the SD Card Settings menu. I just got both updates pretty close together and I couldn't figure out why the phone wasn't showing as a...

    Use a Razr charger

    This is my first "smart" phone. I came to the G1 from a "stupid" phone, the Motorola V3m Razr(Verizon), but it may have some redeeming value afterall. I'm not going to state that this is safe, you are responsible for your own electronics, but I'm just going to share my experience. Since both...

    Boggle, Scrabble, etc...

    Just a suggestion, might take a lot of space on the internal memory, since you need some language databases, but if they could be stored on the memory card, then it would work. I'm surprised I haven't seen Chess, checkers...yet. some of these seem so easy to program, maybe not popular enough...

    SD Cards, Modem Function, Battery status indicator, amd more...

    So I've been using the phone for a few days now, and I have a couple questions I hope someone will know the answers to. 1. Is there a way to set the phone to store the Apps, and App Data, such as contacts, calendar, etc. on the SD card itself. There is hardly any room left on my card and I...
