MotoBlur Hacked to Work on HTC’s G1

Chris Leckness — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:03:46 +0000

MotoBlur is the social networking heavy UI that Motorola has developed and is debuting on the Motorola CLIQ soon. It’s a shell sort of like TouchFLO 3D in the WinMo world that sits on top of Google’s Android OS. Well, some resourceful hacker got a hold of the code for the MotoBlur software and ported it over to work on the G1. Looks pretty neat.

T-Mobile G1 Battery Life?

Jack Cook — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:27:12 +0000

When Jimmie Geddes, Editor over at Gadgets on the Go first received his T-Mobile G1, he had terrific battery life but then all of a sudden it changed. He disabled Wi-Fi, and GPS thinking that would make a difference but it did not. Then he started to see that other G1 owners were suffering the same issue via this Android Community thread .

He called T-Mobile customer care,told them about the issue and the rep told him that T-Mobile was aware of the issue and that they were working with HTC on a software fix but in the meantime they would send out a replacement battery, and to keep the original as a backup.

If you have a G1 and you are experiencing issues then maybe a call to T-Mobile is in order.

T-Mobile G1 – Mobilitysite Video 1st Look

Chris Leckness — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:36:01 +0000

There is a ton of info popping up online today about the T-Mobile G1. Frank posted links to a couple reviews that have already surfaced. I also want to point out Matt Miller’s extensive review (complete with screenshots of every screen possible), it’s probably the most comprehensive review online. Matt and I talked G1 to G1 a few times over the last week and share a lot of the same gripes.

I have had a G1 for about a week and I have a long, long, boring video for all to see. Yes, my video really is 28 minutes. I just do a 1st looks and walk through at the software. Please excuse the stumbling a bit, Android is nice OS, but I am not too familiar with it.

<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""/>

After a solid week of use, I am happy to return back to the Palm Treo Pro, but the G1 is a great phone. The lack of exchange support, just like the G1 iPhone, is a killer for me. As a phone, the G1 is stellar in my area. Great call quality and a really nice interface for making calls.

T-Mobile G1 Manual and T-Mobile Backs Down on Data

Chris Leckness — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:46:11 +0000

A couple items about the G1 hit this weekend. One of them is the answer to a problem that I am not even sure if everyone knew about, but T-Mobile was planning on capping 3G data with the G1’s dataplans. Well, if you didn’t know, no biggie. If you did know, you will be happy to know that T-Mobile realized that they were going to take some serious heat if they did. Thanks to Kevin at Jkontherun for reporting that Saul Hansell from the New York Times got word from T-Mobile that the cap was removed…

“We removed the 1GB soft limit from our policy statement, and we are confident that T-Mobile G1 customers will enjoy the high speed of data access over our 3G network. The specific terms for our new data plans are still being reviewed and once they are final we will be certain to share this broadly with current customers and potential new customers.”

That’s a good thing for those looking to get their hands on the “Sold Out” T-Mobile G1.

Also, for those interested in looking at the T-Mobile G1, the user manual is online now. TmoNews.com shares the links.
