Tried the app again today and it said I had to login to tmobile and update my plan. I logged in today and there was an option to change from the g1 plan to the android plan for the same price but the 400 text messages of the g1 plan weren't mentioned in the android plan. I called tech support and they said that I still get the 400 texts! She said it'll take a few hours for the change so hopefully this'll be done when I go to work tomorrow morning!

I keep getting a prompt to upgrade my service that sends me to a (T-Mobile?) web2go site that says I can't update. I called T-Mobile and they said that I am on the Android plan. They also said that they are getting a lot of complaints about this "endless loop upgrade" problem and that they are working on it. I hope they finish soon. I can’t get this to work.

T-Mobile should 1) improve network parity and 2) better communicate new features to an energized fan base. I get the sense that this feature has been live for maybe a few days? But nobody has known about it. I only discovered it when I called in to get a replacement on a G1 we have with a non-responsive touchscreen. All it would take from T-Mobile is a features and updates blog that they update frequently. Twitter would probably even suffice. Ross,

Why are us UK users left behind? I am pretty sure that T-Mobile can put some effort into parity across it's networks Shame that this is only for US customers. Why are us UK users left behind?

However, not if they aren't targeted. I hate the flash ads that interrupt my reading, and take up my entire screen to tell me about some stupid service I'm not interested in. I'll make sure I never use that site just for being annoying.. If the ads are not intrusive to the user experience I like featuring them. However, not if they aren’t targeted.

I am a developer who has recently uploaded an app to the android market which is admob enabled. I am very displeased right now with the quality of the adds. Its not that they are not working or not real, they are just are not relevent. I put in keywords related to my app (loans, financing etc) and I start getting ads for android dating apps and Jaguar cars. These are not really the kinds of ads I was hoping for. Ads that are actually relavant to the type of ad I have would actually aid to the value of the app while these ads are only distractions. I have given up on admob and am now looking for an alternate solution. I think the word the author was looking for is “distraction”.

Let me know if I'm wrong. Definitely not as good as Google search or even content ads. What are some examples of apps out there running AdMob ads? I guess my holy grail Android ad would be a mobile geo-targeted ad that constantly updates with user activities and location. I don't know if our hardware or software is to that point yet. At least not when I don't get a good satellite GPS shot or connection from T-Mobile. To be honest, I’ve never seen an AdMob ad in action, so I admit, I was just picking on them :)

Your app must reserve an area for AdMob ads to appear, and the ads refresh in that area once a minute or so. They don't get in users way in any way.
