[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 out of stock

[farble1670]

agreed, frustrating. i should not have to pay $25 for the privilege of
knowing that they are out of stock. yes i would have joined eventually
anyway, but i did so *today* with the intent of picking up a device.

 If you check the View Cart page of the order

 availability to resume on March 4.
 I rang them to confirm that it would take 9 months, and that message

 August.

 So i guess its eBay or wait a month.

Another option is to order a new phone from an online store.

[Andrei]

i bought new on ebay for 250
but i suggest you buy used, since it's activated already
if you buy new one you need to get sim card with data plan from your
friend to activate it
after you activate it you do not need any phone plan for development

 Hi Guys,

 I am wondering how I can get the Android Dev Phone 1 in New Zealand?

 I tried purchasing from the market place, but it doesn't have New
 Zealand listed.

 Could you please help.


Ask a friend in the US, or any other country for that matter, if they'll
forward it to you. Otherwise complain to Google.

Hi, I'm also facing a similar problem with Airtel SIM in India.I get
the following error message:

There is a problem communicating with the Google Servers;

This could be a temporary problem. Your SIM card may not be
provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care.

Any help and suggestions are welcome

There are cards similar to SIM cards on CDMA handsets, these are
called RUIM cards. Although it is possible to have CDMA phones without
any cards at all. Not sure about Verizon since I am not based in US.

But ADP1 will only work on GSM phones, not CDMA.

[Jinwoo Min]

There is a solution without SIM card.
Check this site first.

http://www.android-unleashed.com/2008/11/howto-install-non-market-apk-apps-on.html

then, if adb is enabled, go to the folder that is installed adb, type like
below.

adb shell echo app.setupwizard.disable=1  /data/local.prop
adb shell reboot

I hope this helps.

p.s. In fact, I have no G1 Dev phone. I got this information from
http://www.kandroid.org/board/board.php?board=HTCDreamcommand=bodyno=32.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 DOA, or more correctly, DSAA

[Khakionion]

My Dev Phone 1 is DSAA as well. I plugged it in, let it charge for
the three hours that the manual recommends, then turned it on to begin
the setup process. While I was on the phone with T-Mobile, fixing an
issue with my data plan, the screen went blank, and the green LED in
the earpiece stopped flashing. I tried turning it back on, resetting
it, no luck. Tried plugging it in to the charger, removing/reinserting
the battery, nothing, not even an orange charging light. The phone is
completely unresponsive, even tried removing the SD/SIM chips.

Guess I'll be calling support tomorrow to get an RMA on this, because
there's absolutely nothing I can do, the thing is a brick, even though
the only thing I did was charge it and attempt initial setup.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 - can I gain access to replace/add system fonts ?

[Margaret]

I have not got it now

mawei...@gmail.com
13585201588



2009/1/2 shimo...@gmail.com shimo...@gmail.com:

 Hi,

 I bought the Android Dev Phone 1, to use it to develop apps, and port
 my existing Palm OS applications to the Android platform.

 Amongst other things, I thought I'd have access to it's internals -
 mainly to replace the system fonts with ones including Hebrew
 characters - so I can add Hebrew contacts support to my apps.

 I cant seem to be able to replace/add the fonts in the system/fonts
 directory - since it's read-only.

 Is there a way around this on the Dev Phone ?

 Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™

[Justin (Google Employee)]

Hmmm, this is the first I've heard of the charging cable not
physically fitting the phone. The phone should *not* have a standard
miniUSB input, but instead a modified one. When holding the phone with
the screen facing up the left side of the port on the phone should be
perfectly vertical, but the right side should be at an angle at the
bottom of the port and then go completely vertical half way up. I'll
try a little ASCII art here:
_
|   |
|__/

A 'normal' miniUSB port has sides that are mirror images of itself and
look roughly like the right side of the port on the Dev Phone 1,
albeit a little less perfectly angular.

A 'normal' miniUSB cable will work with the Dev Phone 1, but a Dev
Phone 1 specific cable will *not* work with a 'normal' miniUSB port.
Based on your description I wonder if your phone has a 'normal'
miniUSB port instead of the custom one and you've got a wall charger
with the custom connector, as it should have. If you can provide some
more information on your connector configurations that would be great.

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 DOA, or more correctly, DSAA

[dbkin...@gmail.com]

I got another quasi-DOA just before Christmas.
The phone will run for about 1 min and then lock up.
The screen usually keeps displaying the last image, but the phone will
update or not respond to any input.
After a lockup, holding power+home does not turn off the phone, I need
to remove the battery.
I tried charging the battery overnight, no difference.

At some point, I was able to put in my google info quickly enough to
get past the setup stage.

At one point I tried timing the lockups under various use cases.
The phone seems to run fine for about 45-60 seconds.
The 45-60 seconds is from when I first push the power button.
 * I've tried running without a sim card -- still locks up.
 * I've tried running without the SD card -- still locks up.
 * I've tried going into recovery mode -- still locks up.


The only thing that seems suspicious about the phone, is that the
system recovery log complains that E:Can't open /cache/recovery/
command

Also, I haven't tried loading any new firmware on the device.

I haven't tried RMA'ing the phone yet because it works for a while --
it is not a total brick.
I want to have some concrete evidence that there is a legitimate
hardware issue with the phone...
Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
-Derek

  Got the Dev Phone yesterday morning (I think I did the overnight

  charging.  Looked away for a few minutes, and it was dead.  Completely
  unresponsive.  Popped the battery, and still dead.  Checked 4v on the
  battery, - and, the battery was over 90%.

  So I called BrightStarCorp, initiated and RMA, and then, as a last-
  ditch move to see if it was just the battery, I took it to my
  neighborhood TMobile store (who may win my business) and the guy was
  nice enough to test-swap batteries.  Much to my surprise, the phone
  worked again.  And then worked again with my own battery back in it!
  Sweet!

  I was happy.   Took it back  proceeded to get the ATT APN working,
  etc.  (sidenote: during this time, the phone rebooted a couple times
  on its own - just sitting there)

  So I began loading apps, etc. and began to develop a bond with it.
  Left it off, plugged into my USB overnight to charge it, and in the
  morning, the green charge light was on, but the phone was completely
  unresponsive. Couldn't reset by pressing home+power, etc.. Nothing.
  But, the green light stayed on.  Popped the battery, and the light
  went off, but the phone never came back.

  TMoble folks did the test swap again (gotta love 'em), but to no

  batteries worked in mine.  The phone is now a brick.  A very expensive
  brick.

  So I emailed/called BrightStarCorp again today and tried to get the

  I'm not a happy camper.  I wanted to at least get an address  RMA#
  before the weekend so I could get it to UPS and on the way.  No such

  I asked if I could do an Advance RMA, giving my CC# and an order as

  were all very courteous and sympathetic, but I still have a brick.

  I was told that it will be 1-2 weeks for a replacement.  Add that to

 people's stories of their orders taking three days just to process
 either.

 I wonder if BrightStar is just swamped, or if they're just too lean of
 a company for the kind of customer service most of us are used to.

 Oh well.  We'll see.  Back to the emulator with me.

 If anyone else runs into this issue, please reply - I'd like to
 compare experiences.

[Sven Boden]

If you look at the FAQ of brightstar (
http://android.brightstarcorp.com/help.php) you will see the phone only gets
shipped with a US cable... the easiest solution if you want to wall charge
it is buy an adapter. You can buy them in any electronics store, it's just a
little piece converting the US socket to a xxx socket.

Regards,
Sven

 I'm confused. Are you talking about the 6-pin/4-pin USB wire that doesn't
 fit?  If that's what you're referring to, then you might want to try again.
  It does fit, although the at first glance it might not appear to.

 If you're talking about the wall-charger wire, I have no input for you on
 that one since I'm in the US and it fits perfectly.

I email both brightstar and google market place, at the beginning of

None of the emails from brightstar included any contact details should

On the wall side, the power supply should accept international
voltages (100-240V), so you just need a plain socket adapter
(shouldn't cost more than a few dollars). This was mentioned on the
ordering page.

On the device side, did you try to plug the adapter the right way?
(yes, try the other way).

BTW, the device also charges over USB.

 None of the emails from brightstar included any contact details should

 Brightstar please send me the correct power cable so that I can charge

[baker]

I received the phone last week but it came packaged with an incorrect
power cable. The cable doesn't connect to either my Australian wall
socket or the phone. That's right it isn't even compatible with the
phone. So what to do, brightstar and google have no contact
information should you have any problems with the shipment. None of
the emails from birghtstar have a support email.

I've emailed both a brightstart email address from there web site and
a google market place email, but haven't heard from anybody after many
days.

I just want a power cable for the phone, can anybody give me some
advice as to how I get these goons to send me the phone an equipment I
paid for.

Thanks,

Sorry for the repost.

Yes I can charge the phone with USB and yes the cable will connect to
the wall with a converting. However always charging over USB isn't
always convenient.

However the socket to the phone is incompatible with the phone. It
physically doesn't fit, different shape.

My phone was shipped on 15. Took 3 days from ordering day.
Brighstar tracking page never changed from ordered, but I was able
to track it using UPS track by reference.
Arrived just now (Spain) :)

 I placed an order on the 6th and it shows as departing on the 10th so
 my guess is they are pretty swamped with orders.
 I still haven't had any emails other than the original order
 acknowledgement.

 My tracking details show a scheduled delivery for the 17th which is
 hardly what I'd call EXPEDITED delivery from the USA to Australia -
 mind you I expect delivery before that date as it hit Sydney on the
 13th.

Now that developer devices are spreading out, I wonder if there is a
ready to use serial port adapter to utilize the debugger and console
in the Linux kernel with the device. If there is such a device, where
could I get one? If there is no such device I will have to build my
own, I will share pinout and schematics in this case.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 and AT T

[Al Sutton]

HTC put built the 'phone so ultimately it's their say. The telecoms body 
in each country decides which parts of the spectrum are available for 
use for a given purpose, and the carriers decide how to use them.

At the moment the only phone which looks like it may support ATTs' 3G 
network is the Kogan Agora, it's specs state it has a 850/1900/2100 MHz  
UMTS/HSDPA trasceiver, so you may want to talk to them about testing it 
on ATTs network.

The G1 has, according to HTC, the ability to support the global 
standard 2100Mhz band for 3G and the 1700Mhz band used by T-Mobile in 
the US. It does not, however, have the capability to support the 850Mhz 
and 1900Mhz bands that ATT have used.

The biggest problem is that some countries (namely the US and Japan) 
didn't follow the Interational Telecommunication Unions spectrum 
allocation recommendations, which means that the initial standard of 
2100Mhz for 3G couldn't be used in the US because the 2100Mhz band was 
already in use for something else (and even after the US regulator freed 
some space there wasn't enough to support the number of 3G users the 
carriers were expecting).

Hope this is useful,

Al.

P.S. frequency band differences isn't something new to 3G, even with 2G 
some of the US carriers were given the OK to deploy GSM equipment 
operating on the 900MHz bands which isn't in use elsewhere.

It looks like Ruslan Koogan will have an Agora at CES

he's testing it with ATT 3G.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 and AT T

[Auauaua]

this is a MAJOR oversite - I like the G1 but it is somewhat limited
without the 3G
anything we can do? Can HTC provide a hardware mod for this?

If ATT 3G service is on a slightly different frequency than T-Mobile
- can we get the matching radio frequency configured on the G1? or if
we need to install a different radio chip, I assume it is Qualcom, is
it available?, should it be available?

dissapointed me, :(

You would be better off waiting for the next Android phone.  These
things are generally not interchangable.  And really, this phone was
made by HTC for T-Mobile, it's of no surprise that it's designed to
work with their network and not a competitor's.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 and AT T

[Auauaua]

ok - after a quick check
HTC G1 has the following specs - 3G HSDPA US Version: 1700/2100 MHz -
from HTC website
processor/chipset - Qualcomm® MSM7201A™, 528 MHz

ATT service  - 3G HSDPA 850/1900Mhz
(here we are talking 3G frequencies only - Edge and 2G are available
and overlapping)

so - is this purely region/country related issue, i.e Canadian outfit
sells unlocked T-Mobil G1's with 1900/2100Mhz set
is it hardware or software set? FCC issues?
Anyone?

Last I checked, T-Mobile didn't have a presence in Canada.  Which
would mean, no Canadian G1.

From what others are saying around here, it's ATT who did this wrong,
using oddball frequencies.

right - the specs are in question on that Canadian site - the phone is
out of stock ;)
It would be interesting to get to the bottom of this - so to speak,
and find out what exactly determines the frequencies and if the radio
chip is modable.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™

[mlott]

Got my dev phone yesterday a few hours after the email from brightstar
g.  GPS is very sensitive down to a few feet.  For example on google
maps it followed me around the pool and placed me exactly on spot
within a second.  Wonder what it does to battery life.  There are
several mapping applications already on marketplace. So far I am very
impressed with the package.  The phone itself seems a little cheezy
but in comparison to windows mobile, well, there isn't a
comparison.   This OS on one of the nicer upcoming HTC devices will
give the iphone a real competitor.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 + Shipping to Germany

[Tim]

Go to http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference and put your order
number into the shipping reference field and your destination and a
range of dates to cover when you ordered and you should see the
tracking details.
I placed an order on the 6th and it shows as departing on the 10th so
my guess is they are pretty swamped with orders.
I still haven't had any emails other than the original order
acknowledgement.

My tracking details show a scheduled delivery for the 17th which is
hardly what I'd call EXPEDITED delivery from the USA to Australia -
mind you I expect delivery before that date as it hit Sydney on the
13th.

I did the same with the FedEx web site - track by reference and

package is in the system with delivery scheduled for the 17th.

 I used the Fedex Track by Reference tool, and it came up with the

I ordered mine on December 10 with regular ground shipping to Memphis.  My
credit card was charged on Dec 11 (by Gotta Go Blue.)  I've called the
Brightstarcorp number repeatedly since then and finally got through today.
I spoke with Dana  who was, as someone else in this thread mentioned,
absolutely the nicest and most pleasant customer service person you might
wish for.  She said my order was still in process and hadn't been shipped
yet.  Apparently she's the only customer service person working on this.
I'm a little frustrated by the ordering fulfullment process at Brightstar
but appreciate the information Dana has provided.

fill out any other fields, press track.

 I never got any shipping email, but FedEx left a door tag, and
 checking the shipping information, it matches the tracking ID from
 Brightstar. Ironically it's shipping from about 20 miles away from

 So, I'm hoping to have a G1 dev phone tomorrow. I ordered Saturday

 It seems Brightstar is a bit overwhelmed with this program, but I am

For the android developers eagerly waiting (a bit tensed ) for their

i was in your predicament until this morning.

no tracking number from brightstar corp.
market.android.com says no order has been placed.

but they have delivered it.

here is an amateur video taken about it

http://www.nelsok.com/video/google_android_developer_phone_unlocked_video
http://www.nelsok.com/video/google_android_developer_phone_unlocked2_video

you will be receiving yours too shortly...dont worry..
just go out for a movie or put effort in getting a sim card, if you
already dont have one.

I just did a reference track on FedEx, using the order number from
Brightstar, and it came up with my tracking number, and information
about the package. :)

I'm in the same boat.  Phone ordered 12/8; status page just says
ordered
I called the number and the lady doesn't have any info on my order and
told
me to email them for further info.

Still no update.

Did anyone actually receive theirs (shipping to US)?

Thanks

[Aaron]

A few people have received theirs, in fact someone who lives about 90
miles from me got theirs. It seems that today Brightstar shipped
orders from 12/8 and 12/9. I called today and she told me mine was in
the queue for today, and that it would ship today. I never got a
tracking number from them, and the website doesn't display it either.
I used the Fedex Track by Reference tool, and it came up with the
order, and my phone had actually shipped before I called Brightstar. I
think that if they got your order, it shipped today.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™

[cyntacks]

Hey guys,

Just an FYI, I called Brightstar yesterday to inquire on my order.
After calling a boatload of times and receiving the Sorry we missed
your call... message, I was able to get a human on the phone. The
woman who answered (who was EXTREMELY nice btw) explained that has
heard there may be issues with the shipping emails as others have
contacted her regarding not recieving them. But, she also explained
that the order process can take 3 days or so to physically ship. She
went as far as to tell me what order number they were currently
processing and where my order fell in the list. Lastly, she explained
she is the ONLY one taking calls for Android, hence the near
impossibility to get through on the phone...

With that said, this doesn't answer the disappearing order question,
but the rep. at Brightstar was really helpful.

Same thing happened with my order. I ordered on 12/08. I was not able
to view my order in the track order the next day. I emailed brightstar
including the order number. I was replied back letting me know that
the order is valid and I will be sent an email when the phone ships. I
was able to see my order in the tracking page later again.

According to the site, it will be (?is?) available for order in

The price seems fair, but adding VAT + Import Taxes would add a BIG
amount of money to the final number (and a lot of hassle).

Does Google ship all of its devices from the US or are devices for

Thanks Kevin.

Did she give any kind of an ETA on when which orders shall be shipped?
Could you pass me the number of Brightstar? If the doesn't ship today,
I am not going to get the phone -- since my contact would have left
the US before the phone gets delivered.

I just a mail saying the order has been shipped. The Brightstar site
still shows no orders. So, that might be some help to others having a

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™

[nutha...@gmail.com]

Following up on my earlier post...after failing to reach Brightstar
via phone, I sent an email and received a response in an hour or so:
Your order will ship no later than Friday 12/12. You will receive an
email with tracking information once it ships.

I never got any shipping email, but FedEx left a door tag, and
checking the shipping information, it matches the tracking ID from
Brightstar. Ironically it's shipping from about 20 miles away from
where I live.

So, I'm hoping to have a G1 dev phone tomorrow. I ordered Saturday
morning.

It seems Brightstar is a bit overwhelmed with this program, but I am
cautiously optimistic now. Patience!

So, yes.

I have the same issue. I have ordered twice on 8 Dec and have been
charged twice on my card(!) but both times the order disappeared from
the tracking page.

Customer service is non-existent. Repeated emails have not been

saying they are closed or serving someone else.

Considering it statesThe device currently costs $399 (USD) (including free
shipping in the US), and will be available for purchase in 18 international
markets, including the US, UK, Germany, Japan, India, Canada, France,
Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria,
Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Hungary. We will continue to expand this
program into new geographies over time. Check this page for updated
information.

As New Zealand is not in the list, I would consider that it won't ship
there. Sure that is frustrating. So a little word from a google staff member
clarifying how often this list could be updated would be welcome.

Thx

2008/12/9 Josh Roesslein [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 If they are shipping internationally to other counties, I don't see why not
 ship it to New Zealand.
 Not sure if the phone will work there, depends if its band frequencies
 match up with your carriers.
 Hopefully a Google staff member can clear this up.

That is not an answer... that just quotes the web page, which as a
developer I have already visited myself hence how I already know the
cost!?
My question is when will the phone be available to buy direct from the
UK? i.e. from Google UK so that it gets shipped from Google in the UK
and hence I won't have to pay the import tax or the shipping.

I'm not sure why you're making the assumption you ever will.

Google just aren't set up to handle worldwide distribution of physical 
goods efficiently, and I'm not sure that given the current economic 
climate it's something they'd set up given that there are going to be 
other methods of getting Android devices..

  $399 + $179 shipping ( including TAX )


Is the phone ready now?

If I order in US today, how long I can receive the phone?

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 + Shipping to Germany

[roland]

Just checked the shipping fee to France, it costs 180 USD!!! It is
almost the half of the price of device.

  Hi,
  I'm really interested in the possibility of buying a AndroidDev
 Phone1  (--http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html), the
  only question I have concerns the shipping.
  According to the site, it will be (?is?) available for order in
  Germany, I can't find any information about the details though.
  The price seems fair, but adding VAT + Import Taxes would add a BIG
  amount of money to the final number (and a lot of hassle).

  Does Google ship all of its devices from the US or are devices for
  European Devs shipped from inside the EU?

[blindfold]

To The Netherlands shipping and handling is $178.90. I even got a
phone call from the fraud prevention team of my credit card's bank
today, because they apparently found it a suspicious transaction.
Well, hopefully I'll now have a functional G1 soon.

For all you people overseas, you can always send me $550USD and I'll
ship it to you however you'd like so that you don't get charged all
the import taxes. :D

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 + Shipping to Germany

[walterc]

just curious:  did anyone who ordered the dev phone receive a ups
tracking number?  is there anyway to know the progress of our orders?
all i received was a email telling me my order was placed and an order
number which i dont really know what to do with (its not a ups
tracking number).  any ideas?
