I had the G1 phone for about a week after having the Wing for 2 years ... I took the G1 back and got a refund. While the interface was ok, and it has alot of potential .. the battery life was horrible and the lack of features for business use (exchange server, connecting to outlook) made it too much of a teeny booper phone instead of something for a professional.

No, but there IS an existing porting thread, already. Although, I'm the only one in it that has attempted to port anything... (As in, not just putting another phone's in our phones to see it run, but doing a full port by compiling the kernel for our phones.)

that's excellent. Let us know once your done! I'd love to try Android on my wing.

I gave up a long time ago. Between my busy life (work, school and family) and the fact that I lost my progress due to an OS issue on my laptop, I just gave up on it. Sorry.

You can get Exchange on the G1 with no problem. A program called "MailShadowG" from cemaphore.com syncs your exchange/outlook in realtime push with Gmail/Calendar/Contacts - it actually works really well.
I switched from the 8525 Win Mo phone to the G1 and could never go back. I'll agree that the battery life is pretty bad though. But I haven't found it to be that big of an issue myself. The better browser, maps, gps, accelerometer, etc. all make it worth the upgrade. Will be nicer when OpenOffice or some sort of office apps are created/ported over to it.

Try turning off 3G, the GPS and the synchronizing to google at all times when you don't need them and that might help your battery life.

Not sure if this thread is still alive, but I just wanted to say that we've started a porting project at http://wing-linux.sf.net. So far we've got Android working pretty well on the Wing. No GSM, wifi, bluetooth or sound yet, but we're getting closer. Android 1.5 with full touchscreen support (and a mostly functional keyboard) is working.
We've also got an IRC channel on freenode.org for the project: #wing-linux.

i tried this android today. there's version 0.3 worked really good!
then i upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5 and did not install it again. will try it out when there are new updates.
good luck for the project man, its looking VERY good!

[How To] Easily get your MSL - Root Required (No PC or Verizon involvement Needed)

Saw this on the Evo forums and figured it would help some people out over here that may not have gotten their MSL yet. As the app says it may freeze your phone, if this happens you WILL need to do a battery pull, sorry just a side effect, also this is great for people wanting to flash their phones to other carriers, updating your PRL manually, and a few other uses. Also just about every Verizon phone i've laid my hands on have had the MSL/SPC "000000", so please report back if it differs from this, as i have yet to try it on the Incredible.

ROOT REQUIRED.
There is an app in the market called "MSL Reader". I ran it and it gave me my MSL. Seems like it just came out. If you can, please confirm if it works for you. It took all of two seconds to download and give me my MSL.
The developer of the app is a user on xda called mmastrac and he has a few posts in this thread. Seems pretty cool and responsive to updates. ALL credit goes to him, I just stumbled on the app and happened to post it on xda before he did If you have any issues with the app, you should be able to get a hold of him on here.
If you are reading this on your android, this will link you directly to the market download:

That's OK. Why would we want to jump ship to another carrier?

Yeah, all 0's here too - thanks, but no go.

verizon doesnt use msls like sprint does etc does, verizon sets all msls to 000000 thats why your showing that

So in theory, you could get an evo and use it on verizon's network?

not really, the esn wont show up in verizons system and unless you could get a phone rep to add the esn to the network (cloning may work not to sure on that one)

Interested. Tell me more.

Could always try to sweet talk a rep into adding it for you. Something along the lines of: I lost my phone and I have no insurance on the phone. I don't have the money to outright buy another phone so I purchased one from my friend, can you please add it for me? (can get Evo's from craigslist for around 300-350)

Ummm...because I have 500 anytime, free nights after 7, unlimited weekends, unlimited texts, true unlimited data (no caps) all for the price of $25.43 per month. And most importantly, I'm using an Incredible on it. I won't be giving up Sero anytime soon.
Granted I left Verizon 4 years ago but have been very happy with Sprint. I will say that Verizon does have better coverage but Sprint works fine in my area and I have not had too many coverage issues while traveling.

Wow. If SERO were around for the masses, a lot of us would consider that (if we had friends who work for Sprint). Great price!

At&t is restricting on lte

Hi I had a smartphone personal unlimited that it had no restrictions to any sites. Now when I got the skyrocket they switch me to

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And now it restricts me lots of sites and even on the market some apps.
I return the phone because of this crap and after 8 years with at&t I canceled my service.
Check your account plan see if they change anything and check sites on the web like streaming sites.
It doesn't let me stream like from justintv on lte but when I switch to wifi I have no problem.

well on my iphone i was using an unlimited plan for $30mon, with this vivid, im charged $30mon for unlimited. im not really understanding the difference here. im hoping its not something obvious but as far as i can tell, its the same service except i have 4g
edit
i think i get it, its restricting data intensive apps. well tbh, im glad they do that. imagine everyone doing data intensive apps on the network... it will make it slow and might even crash it. when i go to the local theme park, no one can hardly use the internet on there phones cause its so slow that many times it will just time out. so many people are using there phones while theyre waiting in lines that the cell tower cant handle it all.

There is no difference for me.

Good, now people can't hog so much data, it won't kill the network.
In all honesty, all you probably have to do is root the phone, and kill some background app, and you'll have full functionality again.

are these issues only happening to those with the grandfathered data plan? is there anyone here that lives in an LTE area with a tiered plan that are having similar issues with certain webpages and apps hanging or not working?

I am not on any kind of grandfathered plans. On Premier it shows DataPro 2GB Personal for 4G LTE Smartphones
Edit:
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------
I thought maybe if being on the enterprise data plan might remove the blocking and changed to the 4GB Enterprise Data. But still being blocked.

Well first I am Glad they are limiting things as stated before it will keep network intensive stuff down which should in turn make the network in general function better. Also if I recall correctly on a different device there where apps that were blocked from being installed over 3g but once root was achieved it was bypassed so I wouldn't worry about it too horribly much considering I think the change was in the software.

Yes and tomorrow they going to restrict phone calls too? This is a free country man I pay 30 and I want full access.

And you want a lovely nice bottle neck with that too right? Considering if they allow Large files to go down they will Bottle Neck considering the network they have is still shoddy I mean hell look at what happened when the 1st iPhones were released and Everyone was downloading stuff almost immediately...Network Crashed. So Either it's yay have unlimited and watch the network crash because it got too congested and Not be able to use your Data At All or deal with the slight restrictions and go home or to a Wi-Fi area which there are plenty of and Download the stuff there.
But as I stated in the post prior I am guessing it is probably throttled some where in the software like previous phones have been and it is just a matter of rooting and finding the code and changing it.

If you use a different browser such as opera mobile justin/twitch tv work fine...

Works just fine on the Dolphin Broswer.
As for limiting, this also says it on 3g, however my corporate exchange and intranet sites work just fine. I have yet to have anything blocked except the same things many people do like block file size for an app that wants you to use WIFI.

i've had no problems so far...a few hickups while video chattin..but otherrwise im enjoyin my $30.00 unlimited plan.

I have had the Family Unlimited Data Plan for years, Since the Blue Angel, then Apache.
My Data is $30/Mo. Unlimited for all my lines with throttling to faux-g (as I cleverly heard it put) starting after 10Gb of Data.
Your plan was not a Smartphone data plan it seems to me. Looks like you reaped the benefits of it for some time, time to pay the piper.

[APP] Wifi Tether (now works on it's own!)

Bionic Users!
Wifi Tether finally works!!!!
1) Download WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-pre104 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***
2) Make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked (Menu -> Settings -> Applications)
3) Install Wifi Tether
4) ENJOY!

Thanks for sharing

confirmed working!

But can Verizon not see this and charge me loads of money for doing this?

Just got 8mb/s while wifi tethered to my bionic's 2 bar 4g signal. Nice!

Is the data usage trackable by verizon? Their has been a concern with tethering because some say verizon can tell the difference between normal phone data usage compared to tethered data usage.

i'm not an expert by any means, but I used wifi tether all the time on my D1 and had zero issues with verizon.
i also know that before this update, wifi tether would activate the native HotSpot app and not let you connect. I'm banking on the fact that wifi tether now bypasses the hotspot app, we're in the clear...
Again, these are just my thoughts, not confirmed to my knowledge.. (but i'm also saying with all the wifi hacks, we would have heard of someone getting caught by now)

Or maybe that's Verizon's way of getting us to think we're in the clear, to lure us all into breaking contract and cancelling our free data plans!

I'm pretty sure they can tell, I just don't think they care unless you get stupid with it. We are after all a very small percent of their user group.

How do you get free data ? I pay for mine .

so we just install and thats it? idk bout that im having problems connecting my bluray player to my bionic it picks up the tether but it cant connect to the internet any thoughts?

I'd love to try this, but until someone can confirm that Verizon cannot detect it, it's pointless.

This works! Thanks!!

He means unlimited data. We have unlimited 4G data instead of having to pay per MB.

Well, I decided I would take a bullet. I let a friend tether on her laptop for a while. If Verizon charges me, we'll know, and I'll chalk it up to experience. If they don't sweet, and I'll let everyone know.

so how does one get uhlimited 4g? unless you were on an old plan...and this app is sweet

A far as I know you can't...& I'll confirm that this app is 100% go on my bionic running liberty v2.0

Anyone confirm this hides the fact the phone is tethering to other devices?

33 gB of usage this month
i can confirm that this works to tether to any device. sometimes you have to change the default gateway (192.168.11.100 to .13.1 etc)
i've been using it as a replacement to home internet for a couple months now.
no word from verizon, and i called them the other day about adding a line / other stuff.
i dont pay for comcast anymore.

[Q] Question about data caps and tethering

I'm starting to get a little worried by what I'm reading in the N6 forums. I've been building my own roms for my devices since i've had my Nexus 4. I would just sync AOKP's repo and build it. This is because AOKP always had whatever was needed to skirt not only tethering caps, but data caps in general. Unfortunately AOKP seems to be dead.
I use my device as my internet wholly so its very important I keep that. I haven't activated my N6 because of this. As I usually use around 400GB a month.
Do any of these new roms for the N6 have this? Is this something I could build/add in on my own? I'm not concerned with the tethering bypass as I know that can be achieved with the DUN workaround.
It would be fantastic if someone could point me in the correct direction about the info that makes this possible. I would be extremely grateful. Thank you devs that make this stuff happen.

Why not just get unlimited data plan.

Because I would rather not give any more money than I must to a company to regularly takes steps to monetize on the data I already pay for. Subscribers should be able to use whatever data as much as they please.

I'm not exactly sure I understand what you're asking about here. You realize that data caps from your plan can not be bypassed no matter what you do. If by that you mean tethering data caps than yes, a simple mod can be added to stock and no root is really necessary, although it is easier to do with having root.
If by some other way you are talking about bypassing data caps on your plan then I'm all ears on how that's possible.
BTW, none of the US carriers have unlimited tethering plans so there isn't enough money you can give them to allow unlimited tethering. Unless of course your outside US.
Also, I guess you're the one sucking everyone's bandwidth on that one tower around your house. Who is your provider?

Maybe I'm just some freak occurrence, however my wife who is on the same plan as me (Tmo $30) gets capped at 5GB every month on a stock rom, I on the other hand use anywhere from 2-400GB's a month. I've also noticed that it works on some roms, but not others.

Are you talking about pre paid or post paid plans? They don't limit data on post paid its just 5gb of LTE then its 3G for the rest of you go over until your next billing cycle. I have the Unlimited LTE talk and text plan and so far I'm at 30gb and its still LTE speeds so they don't throttle the unlimited plan.

What plan are you on? If you're on the T-Mobile unlimited than it's understandable that they won't throttle you because they think you're using your phone and not tethering.
Again, there is a hack to bypass the carrier check, which allows them to know you are tethering.
If you've cooked your own ROMs before surely you know what to do.
