The only email issue I have is that the email count is wrong. If if delete emails … it doesn’t reset the count. One account thinks I have 200+ but there are only 3.
I s there a way to clear the count? I can find nothing in the settings except for resetting/clearing all information.
If you know of a solution, please email me at: jeffburton@burton-hvac.com

Thanks.

Its a nice phone, but can’t get my optonline email to work. I tried having gmail retrieve my messages, but when replying it uses the gmail email address. g1 has the option to select a default email address, but it doesn’t work. I have my optonline email as default and still uses the email. using the gmail icon to retrieve my message is a nice feature but has to be set to auto-sync and that kills the battery super fast. Also tried setting up the gmail acct through the email setup so it refreshes from the web help save battery, but replies still using gmail.

Well, I had a chance to test out the Google maps on the G1 today, and WOW am I impressed. It found my location and kept with it and instant directions as well as street views. I purchased a car mount for it which makes it all the more fun to use. It also has voice recognition with my blue tooth head set that I am loving. I downloaded PacMan (free, may I add) that is truely incredible on the phone (not that I am a gamer by any means). I have never used an I Phone but have no desire to now.

Oh, I should add to my previous comment how I really enjoy and love the G1 phone. They did a great job and will continue to improve, I am sure.

Only issues are the ones already talked about with the email. For Comcast I just keep all in the inbox and delete from server when done. For GoDaddy, I use their mobile webmail instead.

No one ever talks about how bad the camera is on this phone, my first phone where my pkg allows me to send photos and can’t take one worth saving let alone sending. My razor faired muched better….

I would add my other email accounts to my gmail account but I don’t want to. The phone should function the way it is supposed to function and not require the user to use a Google email account. Isn’t it enough that we have to use the Google contacts to easily load our contacts? Moreover, to have the emails only be checked at X amount time, is ridiculous. As a longtime BB user, my email came to me instantly, often before it reached my Outlook. This needs to be fixed or I’m going to kick it to the curb.

Hey guys im back I had no internet all day till now.
@Kev
It seems that data plan issue you had was not a mistake as when i called about my internet not working they said it’s because the 1st 7 days everyone got it free as a G1 pre sale special and the data plans we picked wasnt official so we had to call em back.They just added me back and now im back up and running.So does this mean your sticking with the G1 Kev?
@macho
How you like the G1 so far.
@Everyone
Has anyone received the RC29 update yet?

port 587 stopped working.
who knows
i got a few off and it stopped.
anyway
after very long day today with support and them telling me the reason s I posted plus
saying since tmo is not on optonline and such that its different than Blackberry.
Its a spam feature that accepts trusted SMTP like Blackberry.

Anyway after being told everything including I think Elvis is still alive,

I am just forwarding mail to google account.

Why try and fix what I cant fix?

I forward to google like they said on the first few posts would have save a few hairs from turning gray.
Oh wait they fell out… haha
Anyway
Using G1 in FULL capacity without DIRECT pop access.
Till someone fixes it this will do.

Sorry I know you guys told me this 100 comments ago but I thought we all could figure it out.
We can only do so much without direct access to TMO network…
Amyway, FYI The battery sticker everyone is saying is RED and damaged is supposed to be red.

The sticker inside the Phone on lifet little circle should be WHITE to indicate NO water damage.
The battery however WILL be red and white. It turns all red I believe if there is an issue with that!!!

PEACE
