T-Mobile G1 Users Getting Unknown SMS Messages ?
Apparently, some G1 users have encountered an odd problem that has them sending/receiving SMS and MMS messages to/from unknown numbers. The scenario: a G1 user receives a text claiming that they’ve been sending multiple texts to the unknown number. Not too big of a deal, could simply be just texting to the wrong phone number, right? Well, until they post the problem on a forum and multiple G1 users are claiming to experience the same issue! A lot of folks are supposedly receiving texts asking them “who is this” or claiming they had sent something that they didn’t. Just odd.
The folks over at modmyGphone are saying that its an issue with the messaging servers that T-Mobile has set up for the G1. The problem is only apparent in the G1 and they are trying to fix it immediately.
Is anyone else experiencing this almost comically weird phenomenon? Let us know!

How To: Save YouTube Videos to your G1 Android
Are you a YouTube junkie? Are you one of those people that simply MUST get your YouTube on every day and share with your friends? To me, YouTube is simply amazing. Fifteen years ago, I never would have dreamed of having the ability to post, share, and view thousands upon thousands of videos posted by people all over the planet.
If you want to carry your YouTube vids on the go, saved to your G1, then check out the video and step-by-step provided by AndroidTapp via www.intomobile.com:
- Search for the video you want. In the video below, I choose “The Transporter 3 movie trailer”
- Tapp the YouTube link, by default the G1 will prompt 2 options: Browser or YouTube. Chose “Browser”. The reason, to get the YouTube link.
- Tapp “Menu” + “Go to URL”, the YouTube URL should appear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodviK1AHdg.
- Press on the keyboard “Menu” + “C” to Copy on the G1
- Go to www.keepvid.com
- In the search field press on the keyboard “Menu” + “V” to Paste on the G1, hit Enter
- Slide down and Tapp “›› Download ‹‹ (video.mp4 - High Quality)“. This will open a new window and download the MP4 in your browser history. Disregard the .FLV version as the G1 can’t do Flash Video… yet. (Alternatively, it’s saved on your SD Card under “downloads” folder).
Round Robin: TreoCentral Jennifer’s Final Thoughts on the T-Mobile G1
TreoCentral’s Jennifer has finished her time with the T-Mobile G1 and comes away fairly impressed! She’s still not the biggest fan of the hardware but she does like the nifty little tricks of Android. One of her biggest gripes with the hardware is that the keyboard is kind of hard to read in certain conditions, which we agree with, but the black version of the G1 doesn’t seem to run into these problems.
Overall, she liked Android because she could navigate the OS pretty easily. The simplicity reminded her of her Palm OS and she loved the customization of the home screen. Overall, it seems like she had such a good time with the Android OS and the G1!

Round Robin: TreoCentral Jennifer’s Video Review of the T-Mobile G1
So you guys already know that I have the Blackberry Bold for the Smartphone Round Robin, but it begs the question, where oh where is the T-Mobile G1 ?! In the caring hands of Jennifer over at TreoCentral of course! She left her Treo Pro behind and is using the T-Mobile G1 as her daily driver!
From her first impressions on the T-Mobile G1 she seems nonplussed about the hardware of the G1 and does not understand the ‘chin’ whatsoever! Don’t worry Jennifer, we cover Android daily and we still don’t understand the ‘chin’. Oddly, she has run into some lag issues with the G1 and we’ve experienced nothing but snappiness the entire time!
Go check out her Video Review of the T-Mobile G1 and tell her what you think!

Round Robin: Answers to Your AT&T Fuze Questions
To wrap up Android Central’s time with the AT&T Fuze for the Smartphone Round Robin, here are the answers to some of your guy’s questions on this Windows Mobile powered device!
A lot of people seemed to wonder how the hardware on the Fuze held up and how big it really was. In short, it’s a really solid device that’s well built and shows quality in design. Meaning, I can’t possibly understand why the Fuze is so darn pretty but the G1 is so…unexciting. Also, forgive its thickness guys, this thing is smaller than your average smartphone. I promise.
Read on to see the answers to your AT&T Fuze questions!

Round Robin: Crackberry Kevin’s Final Thoughts on the T-Mobile G1
Ending the 2nd Week of the Smartphone Round Robin, Crackberry Kevin delivers his final thoughts on the T-Mobile G1! In his initial Video Review, Crackberry Kevin sounded very excited to be using the G1. And though some of that excitement subsided, he still sees A LOT of potential in Android and is hopeful for a G2, G3, or G4 to be a real game changer.
To give a quick summary: he was initially unsure of Android’s market penetration strategy, not the biggest fan of the hardware but loves the home screen experience and Android Market! I’m surprised he didn’t mention the notifications system on the G1–but we at Android Central know thats the best in all of smartphones already. Go give Crackberry Kevin a piece of your mind!
Head over to Crackberry to see his Final Thoughts!

T-Mobile G1 Price Drop in UK
Christmas is coming early to our friends across the pond. The T-Mobile G1 Android phone is now even more affordable after a discount just in time for the holiday season. Previously, a G1 in the U.K. was £40/mo. for service with a FREE G1. The FREE part catches the eye when you consider the G1 is around $179 here in the States with a contract. Now, our U.K. friends are enjoying a price drop to £30/mo. and the G1 is STILL free. Sweet! So why the discount so soon after release? Is T-Mo not reaching their sales goals for the G1? Did Google and T-Mobile not learn from the hornets nest stirred up when a guy named Steve Jobs enraged early adopters with a slashed iPhone price so soon after release? According to T-Mobile:
“We have chosen to offer the device free with a £30 contract to make the pricing more competitive in light of recent device launches. We are well on track to achieve our sales forecasts”
I guess that settles it, eh? If you are in the U.K. and have been holding out, it looks like a good time to pick up a G1!

He gives his thoughts in a first impressions video and comes away a bit more impressed than expected. To sum it up, he doesn’t find the hardware sexy but he definitely thinks Android is easy to use and easy to like. He even feels a bit familiar with the G1 since it has the good ol’ trackball and menu button.
