Okay so a lot of us like having some music going while surfing through this great and amazing resource of a forum, so to maybe help expand my musical tastes what are you all listening to? Im sure only a few will probably post but just hit this thread every so often whenever you hear something good...doesn't have to be something new, just share with us whatever you got going at the moment!

There really is an off topic forum for this kind of thing.
Ya this isnt related to our GSII at all. You can try posting this in the Off Topic forum and you will probably have a wider audience to respond.

You're all still great. I get a tremendous kick out of watching you all help eachother now that I've stepped back a little from spending 2 hours a day answering every second post. The fact that people still get timely and factual answers means this community really works.
A small plea to everyone:
This is a very busy board. So please try to make sure you use subject lines that describe the content. It means you should try not to use "I need help. Help me please!!!???!!!", if you can also use "Stuck trying to downgrade 4.00.10 to 3.17.03".
To make sure this board stays usable, I will be somewhat more actively renaming posts that have 'bad' subject lines, and I may be inserting small comments in square brackets here and there to indicate what I've changed, if that's OK with y'all.
no problem at all boss!!!
not wishing any disrespect Peter Poelman .. The work you guys do is amazing - I'm running SER 1.2 happily, the site is great and the level of expertise between your users is unparalleled.
However I have noticed that people with valid questions are being totally ignored sometimes (myself included) so it can feel like a bit of a "closed club" to us newbies sometimes.
I'm sure it's probably because we don't specify our subjects quite right, but I have tried to be polite, helpful and specific to no avail so I'm not quite sure what to do to get anyones attention ?
Or maybe I'm just dumb............... :roll:

Nah...
I personally do my best to answer as much as I can, and I see some others doing the same. However I do have other things, and if I really have no idea what someone's problem is, or if I feel the simplest search will answer the question, I may let it slip by occasionaly. Sorry if that's what happened to you...
thanks - it's not your fault at all, you're doing a grand job - I guess it's more of a community thing really - and as you say it is busy here, so it's down to everyone to have a go !
Now that I've got your attention though... :wink: Why does this forum look so rough in Internet Explorer on SER 1.2 - the layout on the XDA is all over the place - am I missing something, other sites look alright ? I've been searching for ages - honest !
Oh and lastly - I have to know - why Peter Poelman ? It conjures up images of loads of kraftwerk-like automatons slaving over circuit boards with terminator type music playing ... :lol:
The site looks fine to me, well organised, well presented, front page gives all the latest additions etc, maybe you could redesign it for the guys who are busy hacking and cracking and present it to them as a thank you for all their hard (unpaid) work on our behalf.

I tried redesigning some of the templates, or even creating a whole new one, but for some reason it didn't work. I'll get back to that as soon as I have some time. (haha)

The rules of the collective say we can't talk about these things. I'll probably get in trouble, but I'll lift the shroud of secrecy just a little: we're half-human, half-machine, and Peter Poelman is actually my production serial number. We spend exactly half our time in large underground laboratories statisfying the machine parts of us by doing crazy-ass technical research, and then we go and spend the other half of our time statisfying our human halves with an abundance of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
:lol:
nice one ...... and no worries, in your own time !!
besides - the connection speed with O2 is so slow there's no point trying to use this forum on my XDA, I just wait 'til I get home ... :wink:
After seeing a few new threads start up recently, it was interesting to see how different users have explored the boundaries of TG01 and got the maximum out of it!
I was surprised at certain things this mighty beast can do! I am opening this thread with a hope that we will get more input from TG01 users in terms of what can be done using TG01! May be other users like me will benefit now and in future by knowing that there is no limit to surprises TG01 brings
So question is simple with simplers answers:
What do you use your TG01 MOSTLY for? Please vote for the options and if I have missed out something as 'the most common' act on TG01, then feel free to add comments!
Please can I also request anyone who does something different with their TG01, to post links so that other users could try it and share their views too?
PS: Keep this thread fun but full of information!
Please ADD this to your signature and brag how cool your phone is!!
TELL THE WORLD WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TG01 please VOTE!
*bump*
37 views and only 1 vote!! come on guys, share how good your phone is!
i have already voted nice thread!
Reading, of course!
One of the thing that every day I do with my TG1 is...reading. I've already read a lot of e-books anywhere..if I'm waiting, on a cue...my book is ready to keep on reading from the last paragraph that I read the previous time.
I had installed an app called µBook, but few days ago I discovered Freda, an free EPUB (and other formats) reader that suits perfectly in our TG01
You can download the last version from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-freda.html
Good thread!

I love e-books myself, but I couldn't read them on TG01 as I always thought you end up buying and spending lots (I tried B&N) - I am downloading the one you suggesting, it might make me the most happiest and complete TG01 owner ever!
If you know any more TG01 owners, please ask them to come forward and share more so that we get more out of this beast
Thanks

I was a bit unsure if mods would like it !
Mate, if you know more TG01 users on the forum, please ask them to vote and share so that we get more out of TG01 from everyone's experience. This might even reveal what sort of tasks are best performed on TG01
It's really good to see from the votes so far that, Browsing on TG01 is what is done mostly!
Considering the complaints of battery drain and crappy IE that comes with TG01, I am sure most of us have ended up using faster browsers and better batteries!
Anything worth sharing to have better browsing experience on TG01 guys?
I do something more than this! (please post a comment and share)
Yes it help me to progress with ROM dev and in english ... of course !!!
Good thread man !

Thanks a lot
It is getting more useful and informative as we get more votes!
Already we know that it works as a great device to browse! So many people use it for browsing..
and many votes for 'I use it for something else' too, but only 2 users mentioned some useful info for us. I wish we will have more ideas for tg01
Most of us still use it for browsing - inspite of claims of bad battery life!
I think it's because of amazing speeds we get with Snapdragon?!
I presume we use Opera/SkyFire/IE - any other browsers you think can work better on TG01?
Hello Everyone!
I am writing this post in most of my threads so that everyone is well informed. I am not sure if you will get annoyed to see the identical post in more than 1 thread. The only reason being, I want everyone who visits particular thread to know that I am going to be a rare visitor on TG01 forums from now.
As you might all know, I went on 3 weeks holiday (it was AWESOME!) only to find out that Orange had sent me a letter confirming that I should F***O** and they won’t be interested in either paying repair costs/ offering replacement handset/ offer any sort of money back for the malfunctioning TG01(s) (6 replacements to be precise) they have supplied me since January 2011! Since last 5 months, I wasn’t able to develop or help with roms/themes as I din’t trust my phone’s behaviour (it froze randomly making hard to know if it’s rom/theme doing it or actual phone). However, I have tried my best to help out in forum and also with beta tests.
My TG01 is now officially in coma. It doesn’t last more than 5 minutes without restarting. This has annoyed the piss out of me and I was helpless financially. However, I have managed to sell this TG01 for spare along with few old WinMos and Symbian phone to get me enough money to buy a brand new San Francisco (the cheapest option out there for smart phone at the moment!)
So, to keep the story short, all these threads, might not see any help at all from me in terms of development. I will still be willing to help anyone and everyone (whatever can be done without a TG01). If anyone would want to use any of my work so far – please feel free to PM me and I will happily share ROMs/THEMES/files etc that will help you to carry on the projects further.
It’s been absolute charm being a part of this forum and will miss it! I will be around in San Francisco forums anyway, so drop me a PM if you ever think of me
Long live TG01 and WinMos
(already saving up to buy new WP7!)
EVC4 Development System
I use the TG01 as a software development platform for a GPS application - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117192
I'm still using EVC4 as it's simple, effective and free. More modern tools are too complicated for my simple mind, and seem to produce enormous slow applications.
I had to produce my own SDK using Platform Builder, but now find this works on most ARM devices; although it grizzles a bit, it gives full source-level debugging. It does mean I have to use XP for development - has anyone got EVC4 to run under Vista or Win7?
I like the TG01 as it's fast and has a big screen. I think it's virtually unusable as a mobile phone.
Good on ya trip. There said my piece
this whole "Trip" Vs The World is getting pretty lame...
for someone to "pack up" and move everything to another, really shows how "great" this place is.
Why cant people just let the Dev's dev, and the people who are not interested, use another ROM.
I have recently JUST gone to Trips 1.3.0 Miui Rom, but alas, **** has hit the fan on XDA, and his moved.
members, including mods, have really no one to blame, but themselves.
This impacts me, becuase I have to go to ANOTHER forum, to contact trip regarding issues with the rom... which woudlnt be required if everyone just let it go, and be mature.
Obviously there is alot that I dont see, but from what I have, it is disgraceful.
For someone who has little to no dev history, finding help is hard enough as it is...
/inb4threadsent2fireydepthsofXDAhell.
What happened guys?
Someone divided by Zero by the sounds of it....
Where did he go?
Sent using my X10 graciously supported by TripNMiUI from deep underground in a Bunker made of adamantium
Trip went to Modaco. He couldn't keep his mouth shut more than 2 minutes to help us get this under control. Rather, he acted like the mods were out to get him, and vented publicly. True to my word, I sent him on a vacation. Thread closed.
Trying to keep this brief and simple, circumstances have caused me to be spending the next month living at home with my mother and stepfather, neither of which I get on with. At all. Infact they've decided that as a sanction for me being an adult and refusing to blindly contribute a frankly extortionate amount of money to their bills for staying here for one month, they've decided to hit me where it hurts and take away the internet by unplugging the router alltogether. ****ing idiots.
I'm a techie. I'm a resourceful one too, I'm making use of a BT-Wifi hotspot that's being broadcast from a nearby neighbor (It's free to BT Internet customers!) by using my S2 as a tether, and my girlfriend is abroad at the moment so talking to her (especially over this ****ing month of horribleness) is exceptionally prioritised within my life. All's well and I'm able to use the internet (hence here I am typing this to you) however this signal is rather weak and is tending to drop out a lot.
I'm thinking if I place as much bare metal around my phone as I can it'll somehow help amplify or at least stabilise the signal (my rationale being when i was a kid, using an indoor tv aerial i used to get clearer picture by rigging up metal coathangers and ensuring they're in contact with the metal on the aerial)
Will this work? Any ideas on how I can keep this signal would be GREATLY appreciated!
The internet is an actual requirement for me, not an optional extra
Can anyone hear that sound... ?

World's tiniest violin?
Dude I don't need that. My brother just got stabbed. I need internet.
Thread Closed, let me include a few points also.
1. Dont post questions in development
2. This is a SGS2 forum, not a hardware mod forum
3. Please stop swearing, putting this *** in the middle of a word is still swearing.
Thanks

I haven't any idea where else to post this question. I'm an Army Vet. Massive PTSD and other psychiatric liabilities. I mention that as a preface to saying I don't get out of the house (well, Boat, actually much. However, I am always very intellectually active. I am fascinated and enthralled by my study of Android in particular and computing in general. I've been like a trained monkey on computers since they arrived on the scene. But the last year I am slowly becoming a geek (small 'g', please). I've taught myself rooting and a few other tricks, but in utter isolation. This site is my gold standard for information. The amount of time and energy that the senior and junior members pour into this site is truly amazing. Thanks.
Question - how would one go about finding a local mentor. I would like to find someone to discuss things with in person. This would, I know from my years at various universities, put wings on my otherwise slow learning curve. I've thought about going to the local university (in Portland, Oregon, otherwise known as the coolest, most Hip city on the Left Coast) but, as I say above, this is difficult. So, if anyone can throw me a bone in this regard, my finger will ache from hitting the 'thanks' button repeatedly. Again, to all you contributors, you Dudes are awesome, to say the very least. Your passion for all things Android is showing beneath you skirts .
