[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
Yeah I had read in some other threads about android phones confusing holsters for docks and was hoping that you could capture that magnetic trigger and tell the phone to lock screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry99705:
The only magnetic sensor on the Atrix is the compas.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
not that type of magnetic sensor..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry99705:
I know. That's why it wont work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
no, there is one for sensing the dock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0dbld:
incorrect, the atrix unlike droidx uses software, and hdmi plus extra events to trigger docks and appropriate modes not magnets
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehvio:
Yup. No magnets in Atrix. Proximity sensor could probably work for this purpose???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkurl:
try killswitch. it is made for tablets and phones. that might work for you as it uses several different sensors to work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearsfan172:
I was thinking something along the lines of the new iPad locking and unlocking when covered. Could something like this be pulled off on the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
That functionality doesn't come from a proximity sensor, it comes from magnets placed in the covers as well as the front of the iPad.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to Q&A.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
Thanks, accelerometer works to lock screen when the phone is face down but the proximity and light sensors don't seem to be very responsive at all.

I've had the same radio forever, and then out of nowhere I noticed a change. I've had some issues with no service lately (last night it went out of service and didn't get a signal back till I reset my phone this morning) and am wondering if it's because of this new radio, though I have no idea how it changed. It's 12.28.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M. I did a google search and it returned 0 results. It used to be 69.140eU. I'm somewhat baffled. Considering running the PD15IMG.zip, though I have no idea if that contains the radio image in it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
I have 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M.

PD15IMG.zip is a bit drastic
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linksamui:
I have recently update from v4.5.7 to v053 by wolfbreak. Everything working fine up until today where I have multiple call log errors and crashes. Some shortcuts become unresponsive. I have flashed back to v4.5.7 from my back up files. I did however apply v053 patch. I dont know if that going to help my camera or not. I did great photos with that patch on v05. BTW i was using camera 360 for taking pictures even though i personally think the original camera on stock rom give some nice images. If any one have a fix for v053 unresponsive shortcut on the homescreen and call log crash fix. Please let me know.

[G Tablet Accessories] DroidHam:
So now that everyone's GTabs are on the way, lets focus on the goodies!

Im curious, whats everyones favorite cover/case?

I know I want the dock, but what else is a MUST HAVE? I've even read about a screen protector that improves viewing angle?!?

If you have any good suggestions, please let me know, post the URL for people to purchase etc!
[G Tablet Accessories] newbsauce:
Just received my Skinomi carbon fiber skin. Was very impressed with the material, looks to be the same 3M stuff that "dash kits" use in cars. 24 shipped on amazon. I've heard it sucks to install - but my tab won't be here until Thursday to find out :(
[G Tablet Accessories] achernez:
Right now I have just purchased the "Skinomi TechSkin - Black Carbon Fiber FILM Shield & Screen Protector" from Amazon (Skinomi.com has a larger selection and coupon codes can be found online), based on the reviews there and in a thread over here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904814) I believe is the best we can buy right now to protect the screen, I went for the full body kit as I have not yet decided on which case I will end with but will most likely be one with a keyboard so I can use it while in class.

I may pick some cheap capacitive pens down the road too just because you can get them pretty cheap and shipped straight to South America where I live :D

....I am a nOOb so can't post outside links yet....
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
I'm pretty happy with these...

Arkon Portable Fold-up Stand

Carbon Fiber ThinSkin in Black

CLIP - Folio Case

I bought a dock but didn't really find myself using it after I got it so I sold it off on eBay for a tidy profit.

I also had one of those cases with the built-in usb keyboard but found it looked way too cheap and didn't keep the gTab snug so I got rid of that on eBay for a tidy profit as well.

If you want a case with a built-in bluetooth keyboard I highly recommend checking out it2steve's web store for a case he calls the BlutO.

See link here.

As for a small bag to carry all of your gTab accessories, I recommend the Targus CityGear bag for 10.2 inch Netbooks. It fits everything nicely. The only negative about this bag for me is that the shoulder strap is not removable.

I almost forgot about the Skinomi Screen Protector. It is fantastic as long as you follow the directions and let the damn thing sit until it's completely dry after you've applied it (like 24 hours if you can handle it) and you will be rewarded with a screen protector that you can barely tell is there.
[G Tablet Accessories] NinetyWt:
I would dearly love to get the BlutO but it's my understanding that it stays sold out. :(
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
So far I've ordered the dock from merimobiles, $42.75 with coupon code bienvenu

Needed the lan port for work since we can't turn on wireless due to sensitive client files.

Messenger bag from Bensoutlet dot com $7.98 shipped. Got one that looks exactly like this for my netbook from 1saleaday last year for $10 shipped and hope it's the same one, great little sturdy bag.

Lenovo usb keyboard remote w/ trackball, don't know if it'll work w/gtab or not but for $27 I can use it with something else if it doesn't.

Have a neoprene sleeve to put it in until I decide on which screen protector and cover.

Dern, why did I type all of this out? Now I know how much I've spent LOL :p
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Can you post the link for this? How much room does it have for other accessories?
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
http://bensoutlet.com/products/netbook-bag

It has the removable shoulder strap and an outside zipper compartment. I can cram a pretty good bit of extra "stuff" in there, adapters, wireless mouse, flash drives, etc.
[G Tablet Accessories] TheFlyingPig:
I have skinomi black carbon fiber skin.

Now I just need some protection for it.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
thanks!

...
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
OT!

Just wanted to tell you I'm loving your nym :p

Bought a tshirt for the bf a couple of weeks ago that had a pic of a pig amongst the clouds with the caption "With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine" Hilarious :p

To make this post legal (and to satisfy my curiosity) how hard are these skins to put on? I bought screen protectors for my nook that I ended up wadding up and throwing in the garbage, couldn't ever get them to go on without steeeenkin' bubbles that irritated the crap outta me.

*@clankfu: You're welcome!
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
One more question for you. Do you think that messenger bag would fit a Gtab with one of these cases on it? Or is it already a snug fit with just the Gtab alone?

http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_9
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
I can't answer that yet because FedEx still has my gtab :eek:

But. I have one that looks exactly like this one that I keep my 10.1" acer aspire one netbook in (has the extended battery) and I am able to put the netbook in a neoprene sleeve and then into the messenger bag and it fits. So I bought another one for the gtab figuring it should work for that as well. If it doesn't I'll be really surprised but won't be out much money at all.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet Accessories] cobrast6:
I have the same problem. Waiting for mine to come in on thursday as well.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Gotcha. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
I picked this up and it looks great:

http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AOD250-1...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299249594&sr=1-22

Very professional looking and holds the accessories fairly well. There is only the one outside pocket, so things just get thrown in. For under $20 (with amazon prime), who can complain?
[G Tablet Accessories] LowSky:
I have a Wenger Swiss Army 12" laptop bag that I used for my netbook. Got it at Walmart for under $15. it too has removable strap and a side pocket too.
[G Tablet Accessories] newbsauce:
Anyone checked out this bad boy from belkin? At a whopping $8 it seems like quite the bargain.

[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
Belkin is usually a good product. But here's what I use (in neoprene), just bought another two pack in fact:

http://www.meritline.com/flap-laptop-sleeve-neoprene-black---p-36331.aspx

Velcro flap closure, perfectly servicable and I've always been happy with them. Free shipping too, but you have to be sure to select that option. It does take a some time to deliver due to the fact that it ships from China. Also, these are a bit roomier than the usual stretch-to-fit neoprene sleeve. My netbook won't fit in that kind due to the extended battery.

What can I say, we wimmins love a sale ;->
[G Tablet Accessories] vulcan195:
I plan to wait to get my hands on the tablet (fedex will get it here on Thurs) ... play with it long enough to be certain I want to keep it ... and THEN ... shop for stuff. Else, getting rid of the tablet and all those accessories will be an humbling experience.

BTW, my CC. has a program where they will take back a product if the store does not accept it back. I hope I don't resort to it in this case.
[G Tablet Accessories] newbsauce:
3 dollars shipped? I love it - no matter when it arrives!
[G Tablet Accessories] vulcan195:
I am so glad we don't have Americans making this stuff .. the lax laws in China allow us to exploit their labor force to the fullest so we can enjoy deals like these. Keep them coming, Meritline ... but please go easy on the melamine ... we want to be around to be your long-term customers :)
[G Tablet Accessories] vulcan195:
Not a biggie but when you get around to it ... please correct the typo. Thanks !
[G Tablet Accessories] Kulocka:
Theres the Skin protector with the carbon fiber back for less then 24$. Great price for both and also says lifetime replacements...Which is always great.

Would post a link but im too noob ;)

Just bought one now, i thought it was a great price!
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
Before I got laid off my (well paid) inspector job at a local plant I had to train a Chinese lady to do my job. She then took that knowledge back to China to her plant in order to train others. My plant closed. I had to find another way to support myself and my two kids.

Now ask me how I felt about that.

On second thought, don't.
[G Tablet Accessories] Wilice Lee:
OH. looks nice
[G Tablet Accessories] pdcullen:
Yeah the long term cost of all this cheap crap is not worth it. <--not sarcasm! That train has left the station though.
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
You got that right.

Long gone.

So is anybody gonna tell me how much of a biatch (ha!) it is to put those skinomi deals on? :p
[G Tablet Accessories] ghaleous:
Hopefully not too much of one; I've got my G-Tab coming tomorrow (early Woot'er) and my Skinomi CF backing & screen protector coming on Friday.

If nothing else, I'm glad I'll have at least 2 days to root & play with mine before the screen protector arrives - letting it sit for that 24hrs to dry is going to be difficult :/
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
Oh cool...mine won't be here until Thursday. But I did have it sent to my job so I won't have to wait until I get home to charge it.

After you get your screen protector on and cured out let us know how it went, ok? Not sure I want to tackle that yet. I've been wavering about buying one, hate to wad up $26 and throw it in the garbage LOL not to mention that 24 hr thing ;->
[G Tablet Accessories] findmike:
Screen Protectors

Not sure if everyone already knows this or not but the best luck I ever had putting on a screen protector was to apply it in the bathroom after running the shower on hot for a few minutes. The steam settles the dust and particulates in the room which I never notice until I try to put one of these on.

To get rid of the air bubbles the best solution seems to be to use a little soapy water (YouTube screen protector soap for guidance). I found if nothing else just having some soapy water to dip my fingertips in really helped as I tried to get the thing aligned perfectly (yeah, I'm a little OCD about that sort of stuff).
[G Tablet Accessories] d1net:
Screen Protector

Hey guys... I'm a noob here and waiting for my gTab coming this Thursday. :D I wanted to know if the screen protector is really needed. Does anyone know if the screen is made of glass or plastic? I also can't believe that the cases posted on this forum are all sold out or not in stock!:(
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
1.) No, it's not necessary but it's nice to have.

2.) Glass.

3.) Get on his email list from his web store and you will know when new stock comes in.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
Food for thought... I never understood putting a plastic protector on a glass screen. Not many things can actually scratch a glass screen (unless you play beach volleyball with your tablet or rockclimb with it), gorilla glass or not. It isn't like cellular phones where you put them in your pocket and the silica that finds its way into your pocket micro-scratches your screen. These are large devices which most of us carry in a case, bag or cover. I mean, do you put screen protectors on your laptops, notebooks, netbooks, GPS devices or lcd tvs? Besides, most people leave the scratched plastic protector on over their glass screen which reduces touch sensitivity, obscures view and honestly looks like crap. Plus, because the screen protectors scratch just looking at them, your device will always look scratched. Is there a point in spending 20min and $12 every month or two to have a false sense of security? I mean, just because you have a screen protector, are you gonna be less careful with it?

This isn't directed at anyone, but I just want to put it out there. Sorry to rant, but times have changed and I don't think people realize that these are not Palm III's or Hansdspring Visor's.
[G Tablet Accessories] nooboon:
maybe a better choice than $5.99 sears sleeve?

just found this deal, Targus sleeve, originally designed for Lenovo Ideapad. Since it is for 10'' notebook, I guess it will fit Gtab well.

$4+tax+free shipping

Just google search "Lenovo Outlet - Targus Eternity 10" Sleeve New" (sorry, noob can't post outside link yet:D)

[G Tablet Accessories] d1net:
Thanks for that info sjmoreno and TEK112.

Your comments have made my decision clearer to NOT use a screen protector. :D
[G Tablet Accessories] wingzero2085:
For anyone considering the Skinomi carbon fiber skin through Amazon... just a warning: I'm still trying to get an undamaged product out of them, and I ordered mine about a month ago through Amazon.

I got my gTab in late Feb., and found the Skinomi carbon fiber skin on Amazon, so I bought it. It came rolled up in a tube ... and the pieces for the carbon fiber part had peeled up off the backing and stuck to the screen protector portion (UGH!). Peeling them off the screen protector left a nice ugly adhesive blemish on it, not to mention the adhesive on the carbon fiber parts was pretty much toast.

I contacted them through their web site and had a response fast enough. They asked for a photo, which I provided. They said they'd ship a replacement right away. A week or more went by, nothing. I contacted them again -- this time within a couple of days I had a fresh email from Amazon with a new tracking number. It's now been well over another week since then, and I haven't received my replacement and the tracking from USPS doesn't even show that it was ever even shipped. All of my recent emails have gone totally unanswered. I'm waiting a couple more days and then I'm going to file a claim through Amazon, and if that fails, a chargeback with my CC company.

So ... just a heads up for those who are ordering the Skinomi products on Amazon -- if one arrives damaged, I hope your experience with their customer service is better than mine!
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Meh...

I don't think you're ranting, I understand where you're coming from. But most of us that have a screen protector on our gTabs probably have had them for months. Believe it or not there was a time where there were no cases available for our gTabs and the tablet was woefully exposed like a naked baby alone in the woods.

I don't know about the average user here but I travel with my gTab quite often for business trips and when I do I take along accessories like my folding stand and/or mini usb keyboard. And when you stuff all that in a case (like the cheap $5 CaseLogic/Viewsonic case or the sweet Targus one I use) it's only natural to think that perhaps it wouldn't hurt to add a layer of protection on your screen.

As to your point about the screen protectors with scratches on them that end up looking bad; screen protectors have come a long way since the 90's. Most of them (including the Skinomi one I have on mine) are "self-healing" to a point where light scratches fade with time so mine still looks as good as the day I applied it three months ago. When it's clean you can barely tell there is a protector on the screen. It did reduce the fingerprint smudge/smear factor for me and it's way easier to clean up. It even reduced the glare factor for me a bit too. I don't notice any touch sensitivity loss with it either. And, the Skinomi one comes with lifetime replacement for free.

So if spending a few bucks gives folks an extra sense of security (false or not) then what does it hurt?
[G Tablet Accessories] TheFlyingPig:
I think about the stuff that can be trapped in micro stratches. Maybe that's just OCP, but it makes a different to have a layer of something that I can change out every few months.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
It doesn't hurt. I just don't think most people are educated. I will not judge someone either way, but I know many people don't fully understand why they have one except for the fact that many have them.

In regards to the case, 10" netbook sleeves, cases and accessories have been around long before the G-Tablet. In fact, I have an Acer Aspire leather bag I use that fits just fine. Nothing specialized like my M1 (thanks Steve), but protection none-the less.

The only skin I promote is for the back (thanks Aaron). 3M CF Overlay FTW! The cheap plastic is extremely easy to scuff, especially when sliding it around on any surface.

As for self-healing, not so much. It just dulls away after constant use like buffing a scratch on a car. When the scratch dulls, so does the screen clarity. If you peel off the skin, the difference is night and day. I do agree that it reduces glare, but that is because many are tinted, barely visible but are tinted none-the-less, otherwise there would be no glare protection. It is the same as a contact lens. So, if it reduces glare, it also reduces screen brightness. Also, it does impede touch sensitivity, while not very noticeable, it does. Think about it, you are impeding the electrical conductivity between your finger and the capacitive screen.

I will agree that they are great for reducing finger smudges. Once again, I don't want to tell people not to buy them or mock people who do. i just want to educate people so they can make a solid decision for themselves.
[G Tablet Accessories] ZebTheCalvinist:
I have the Skinomi Techskin on my G-Tab, and I love it. Here's a quick review I did of it for Androidforums.com:

(Sorry that was long, but I'm a n00b, so I can't post a link.)

As far as cases go, I usually just keep mine in the laptop compartment of my Timbuk2 messenger bag, with a neoprene netbook sleeve for some extra padding. I'm hoping to snag one of the Clip cases when they come in.

This has been a very informative thread (for the most part) and I appreciate that.

I noticed in this thread here:

it2steve is showing a gtab in different custom cases. Now it looks like he may have some sort of something? on his tab that's giving it a textured surface, almost pebbly looking. I'm not sure if that's some sort of screen protector or not but I don't much care for that look. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

I kinda hate to go over there and say eww what's that?

Um... You're not talking about the reflection of his ceiling in the photos are you?
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Nahhh... Its probably crappy lighting and poor camera user (wait that's me).

It's probably my wallpaper giving that effect.

...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant

[EDIT] NICE CATCH sjmoreno, it is the ceiling :) and I never noticed...
[G Tablet Accessories] ZebTheCalvinist:
The texture is there when the G-Tab is vertical/diagonal, too. I don't think it's just the ceiling.
[G Tablet Accessories] Metal_in_Silk:
I believe it is the ceiling texture. In the series showing The Clip, 4th pic down, you can see it2steve's reflection holding the camera and also where the ceiling meets the wall. You can see the difference there. The bottom half of the tab where it reflects the wall looks smooth.

Well that's a relief. I won't inadvertently put on a pebbly looking screen protector :p
