I recieved mine from Amazon a few days ago. Tablet didn't fit in it at all until I bent the Tabs in to hold it better. And you still have to be careful that it doesn't fall out the end. Turns out I don't think I'll use it that much at all anyway, since I mostly use my tablet on the job site. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard, you're better off spending a couple of bucks and download thumb keyboard.

Bluetooth keyboard support is "iffy", at best. Good luck though.
[G Tablet Accessories] captainharlockus:
I have one that I got a few days ago from Amazon.

I am not having any problem with it fitting correctly, so it may be that they are just not very consistent.

You do have to be careful about it sliding out the one side when carrying it around and the one clasp does cover the small USB in port for connecting to a computer.

In my case the USB cable had no problem reaching.

The kick stand is a nice feature.

All in all am find it useful but it does have some short coming, so it would not be for everyone, and there are probably better ones out there, though for the price and am happy with this unit so far.

Case/keyboard on Amazon

Newbie here. Got my gtab a week ago and have been looking at this case/keyboard combo. Am I crazy? I thought these were $30-$35 a few days ago. Now $127.50?????

[I tried to post the link ..... but newbies can't.]

THAT ...... is no bargain.

And a big thank you to all who post the good info here!
[G Tablet Accessories] sudermatt:
I just received mine from an Amazon seller...they said it was the Gtab model...

It doesn't work. I plugged it in...can't figure out how to get it to work.

Anybody have any ideas?

I'm running Corwin's GB CM7 RC4 rom
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Did you plug it in before booting up the tablet? It seems to not work sometimes if you plug it in after the tablet is already booted up.

[G Tablet Accessories] ssjwizard:
I got one of these but it was the one marked for Apad/Epad/Gtab so needless to say it doesnt fit exactly but it wasnt a big deal. I am not having to many problems with the case in any way infact my stylus clips on the band quite nicely. I have noticed that the caps lock doesnt seem to work but thats another issue for another day.
[G Tablet Accessories] snooks570:
Anybody find another case?

Been checking this thread and I am wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard/case? I would appreciate a link if you have found one. Thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] samevo8:
I was a bit worried when I got my keyboard that it didn't work when I plugged in the USB to my Gtab. However, after rebooting with the USB plugged in, the keyboard works now!

I noticed that my Windows Key doesn't do anything. I'm using VEGAn GE v. 7.0.0 STABLE RC1.

The keyboard size seems decent. I'm used to the 93% keyboard on my Asus EEEPc (around 93% the size of a regular keyboard) and this feels a bit smaller (~88%?) Probably couldn't type on this for more than 15 mins or so without taking a break to rest my fingers/wrists. However, touch typing a lot faster than using the on screen keyboards.

Would be nice to have the arrow keys a bit bigger; and 50% of the time, when I try to hit the "." key with my right ring finger, I end up hitting the "/" key instead (hitting the "," with my right middle finger is not a problem.) It would be nice if I could swap the "." and "/" keys through a remapping!

Not too concerned with the lack of a tab on the right side (although it should have been included.) However, I'm a bit more concerned about the need to expose the micro SD slot to have the USB plugged in (I removed the flap that covers the USB and microSD, turned it 180 degrees, and tucked it under the left tab of the case.)
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
If you want a case with a keyboard there really isn't much of a choice. I only know of 2 and the one I'd recommend is the BluTo that it2steve sells at electroniccrap.com.

Use with stock 3588 gtab????

Will this keyboard work with my stock (3588) gtab right out of the box or do I have to change something on the gtab? If changes are required, can anybody steer me to a site that explains how to do it? My keyboard/case is on its way from China, due in a week or two. TIA!!!!

Thank You for your video.
[G Tablet Accessories] howardw:
Well, my $25.98 witglobal case with USB keyboard arrived this morning by registered mail. 16 days from Hong Kong. It works perfectly with my stock (3588) gtab and the USB cord is the perfect length, going across the bottom and up the side to the unblocked USB port, with the cord tucked inside the left retaining tab.

All just FWIW

Do the keyboard keys scratch the screen when it is closed?
[G Tablet Accessories] earthsick22:
i think some people put a piece of cloth material in between just to be safe.
[G Tablet Accessories] howardw:
Regarding keys scratching screen .......

I've seen no evidence of scratching. Here's a good clue IMO. I haven't cleaned my abundant fingerprints off the screen since I put the gtab in the case, and I've opened and closed the case and carried it around several times. I just studied my screen and there's no indication the keys have even marred my fingerprints, much less the screen.

Also, in case anyone anyone is interested, I use a lightly moistened Gleen cloth (Google it) to clean my screen. It cleans it perfectly in seconds. If you've never heard of Gleen cloths, they're God's gift to people needing to clean mirrors, windows, eyeglasses, etc. Just FWIW. I have no financial interest in Gleen products.

I brought one of these cases for my Viewsonic Viewpad 10. It wasn't designed for it but it slotted in nice and snug with a little tweaking (Only needed to by an additional USB extender since my USB ports were on the left hand side of the device instead of the right hand side which the case was designed for.

It's getting a bit battered now but I would probably buy one again if there was one designed for the Viewpad 10/Tega V2 tablets.
[G Tablet Accessories] davidmi58:
Confirming that this keyboard/case works with Vegan Ginger. You do have to reboot with the usb keyboard plugged in, though.

Feels a little cheap but that might keep someone from eyeing it for a quick steal. Keyboard works nicely. Holds the Gtab securely but I did have to bend the "clamp" that holds the Gtab at the top a little to get it to attach properly.

Not bad for the price. Sure beats typing via the on screen keyboard if you have a lot of text entry to do.
[G Tablet Accessories] rwstarke:
This fits the gTablet.

I just purchase one on eBay from seller directusb. They are in the USA. I emailed them first about their case. They now have the ones with the left & right tabs at the same height about 2 1/4" from the bottom. They do not cover the USB ports, but do cover the speakers. I had to bend the side tabs in slightly to hold the tablet. The usb cable just reaches the port on the left if you route it behind the tablet.

I have had one for a long time. Works well. While it doesn't scratch the screen, it does seem to scratch the back of the gtablet.

Thanks man. As long as it fits and the keyboard works. Bout scratching the back, so does my desk, lol

[G Tablet Accessories] Puteri:
I bought mine from Amazon, the new improved version that fits the G tablet perfectly. The keyboard works with the G tab straight out of the box. It also works well on G tab with Vegan GingerEdition. One caveat though, the side tabs of the product are located where the speakers are. They affect the quality of the sounds coming out some, but not too badly. I really like this case/keyboard combo.
[G Tablet Accessories] rdisanza:
@ Puteri,

Thx, nice to know since Ima gonna do the VEGAn GB ROM also.
[G Tablet Accessories] GreenHornet:
By the way, if you don't like the tab placement, you can actually change it. The case isn't put together super well, so you can pull the tabs off and move them to a different location. You will need to cut some new notches, but if you use a sharp utility knife and a ruler, it doesn't look to bad. Then, glue the whole thing back together with some rubber cement or household goop and you are back in business. I know it sounds messy and ugly, but mine actually turned out pretty well.

Finally got the witglobal USB keyboard case today. Works reasonably well.

I peeled off the black foam packing from the inner lid of the gtablet viewsonic box, to use as a buffer between the keyboard and the screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] Spazmogen:
I got mine today. Build quality is what I expected for a $16 item. The USB keyboard worked fine when you plug it in then turn on the Gtablet.

I am writing this message on it, and the key quality seems ok, nothing to really wow me though.

For under $30 shipped to Canada, I can not complain about it.

The screen is at the correct viewing angle when using the screen stand.

The holding bracket does not block the USB port at all on mine.

Great Case Cover for G Tablet

Hi,

I would definitely recommend you to get a case for your G Tablet. I've tried a lot of different kinds of cases for my G Tablet, but I found one by a company called Aurum Enterprises. I had never heard of them, so I was a little sceptical, but I bought it and I would highly recommend it.

They sell their products on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-Gta...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311082565&sr=1-5

This is the link to the Viewsonic G Tablet Case Cover. It folds out to a stand, which I thought was really cool too. And I got the screen protector from them as well. I have been very satisfied with it.

Hopefully you didn't purchase that case at that price. You can find that case for a lot less on ebay, or through electroniccrap. I bought my case, which looks identical to this, for $8 shipped.

Not so fast. Correct me if I'm wrong, but for some reason I think I remember reading somewhere that you can't restore to froyo like that. I would sbf back to 2.2 if anything, then root and restore your backup.

This there anything else I need to change on the phone or check before I send it back to T-Mo?

And has anyone every had the issue of the video going bad on there MT3GS or any other HTC slide? I had a Wing that this happened to 3 years ago but I thought it might have been just a bad phone...

I gather that mail, contacts and calendar syncing aren't an out-of-the-box feature on the GTab. Nor, it seems, is it baked into the popular ROMS. Am I going to need an app to get this functionality? Can you recommend one? Am I simply married to the web interface?

I currently have contacts and calendars synced to my iPhone via Exchange. Am I going to be able to 3-way sync or is this unlikely?

Been messing around with the framework-res.apk today after seeing some posts about the lock screen animation. Obviously this is pretty unfocused but I figured I'd share my results anyway in case anyone else wanted to mess around.

Lock Animation

[YOUTUBE]-Lv1p4TvRw4[/YOUTUBE]

Neat I guess, but it only works in Portrait mode.

User Agent String

I changed the UA String in the browser to get around the about:debug nonsense. It now reports as:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Intel Mac OSX 10_6_3; 3.0.1; en-us; Xoom Build/HR166) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, Like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13

SMS Support

This one was worth it just to get the stupid MyVerizon password. Works for outgoing and incoming but you have to install an SMS App. This will also allow you to enable your Xoom's phone number with Google Voice. Data charges apply.

Voice Support

I'm able to make calls using Google Voice but I have no idea if it is an IP call or what. Obviously I have no minutes on my plan. Note: The mic/speaker doesn't currently work so this is useless unless you use the SIP phone. I might look into this when I have time, for people connecting their Xoom's to other networks with voice plans.

SIP Phone

Build-in SIP client.

Installation

Replace the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with the file attached and reboot. For whatever reason this might cause your accounts and Wallpaper to get removed. Requires Root. Make sure to back up your framework-res.apk. You'll probably need it the next time an update rolls out. Don't blame me if this breaks anything, but let me know if you see any issues (especially with date formatting).

To-Do: I'd like to fix the contacts app when Phone is enabled

Update 5/8:

Added UA String fix for US/CAN WiFi. (Untested)

Rebuilt UA String fix for VZW 3G using my new tool

All versions have the language strings from CAN WiFi

Update 5/12

3.1 Support for 3g VZW XOOM. (Use this if you updated using bigrushdog's method)

Removed previous files

Language Support is only partial. I do not have the new 3.1 language strings other than EN/ES so a few things will be English. Also, individual apps still need to support other languages (Settings, for example)

Update 2 - 5/12

3.1 US WiFi Support (Do not use this if you updated using bigrushdog's method)

Files:

full - CRT, SIP, SMS, UAString

uastring - UAString

I cannot help you with custom combinations or different models unless I have the framework-res.apk from your model

Root explorer should work fine

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing. I think it is an issue with GV because I enabled the SIP client and the audio works fine in the phone app for SIP calls. I'll look into it when I have time later.

If you use a client like handcent there is a per-use charge, but if you configure your number with Google Voice and use that for sms it should be free I think.

[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Sorry, I've never used XUltimate or APKManager but most of those tools are wrappers around apktool/baksmali/smali so you can probably drop in updated jars.

Sorry, I don't have a wifi xoom (or its framework-res.apk) but someone else could do it. Any more info on the overscroll glow? I don't have an android phone

I have a voip provider I use for my home phone so I used their SIP service but I just set it up on the xoom if that is what you mean. I mentioned it in the GV thread, but there is an option in framework-res to enable the built-in SIP client, which seems to work fine:

I think I left it disabled in the file I posted in the OP, but I can upload it if anyone wants to try it.

I then followed BRD's guide in going to Honeycomb 3.1 with no issue but when flashing the framework for 3.1 this happened. I tried to sbf my Xoom with the HRI33 file which I assumed would not work but tried out of desperation of course no luck. Just hoping someone can throw me a bone here.

Thanks for being there for support but I ended up trying the one click root method I found on XDA just for Sh!t and giggles and it booted me into clockwork somehow. When I was in clockwork I reinstalled the zips for the 3.1 update because my sd card was still readable and the Xoom came back to life. As for using the wrong file, it actually was the right one. What I did wrong was that I copied the framework with root explorer rather than through the ADB (which I have done it before through root explorer without issue). Once it came back I loaded the same framework through ADB and all is well! Learning more and more each day but everyones hard work and guides on this forum has been teaching me a lot.
