[HTC Incredible S] Sunnyboy167:
I believe the Nexus S is the way to go on this one. The incredible S from what I hear isn't shipping with 2.3 which is really not as important as the hardware specs but even in that area I might go with the NS. The only thing I really like about the IS is the 8meg cam but overall I'd go with the NS.
[HTC Incredible S] sofia-captivate:
Xperia arc sounds promising even my first choice is nexus I think. And incredible s is running 2.2 don't think it would have much dev support on xda.
[HTC Incredible S] dryspuri:
Hi, I might be out of the line here, but i sold my nexus s to get incredible s, the reason is good build quality & solid user experience, i first used HTC sense when i used hero, that was also very tightly controlled by HTC, but they have done very good job with it, i am holding on to my incredible s & i feel relieved that i got rid of my nexus s, believe me i had gone for nexus s for updates, but that phone is so badly made( according to my standards> u may find it Ok) ( dont make any decision on my comment see for yourself and decide)

but i am happy now
[HTC Incredible S] dryspuri:
yes you are right absolutely no support, nobody could even root the phone not even Paul (Modaco.com) AFAIK, but that is added part for me, i am not going to reflash & reflash, i want stable experience.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
The Xperia Arc has a pathetic internal memory of only 300+ MB. Note that still a majority of apps doesn't support installation on SD cards. It also lacks a notification LED light and Front-facing cam, not that it's important, but this phone should be future proof.

Plus, I love the overall experience and tweaks of the Sense UI. :)
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
As we all can see ... I choose the IS :)

Why? First of all htc's quality is far better than samsung's ... Hardware wise ... Also sense ... Well sense is just unbeatable ... And for those who care about shipping with 2.2 ... Who cares ... we are getting an update to 2.3.3 in q2 that is this month right ?

So over all the IS is the best choice :) sense and 2.3.3 are goind to be a crazy combo ...
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
Here is a comparison of Incredible S vs SE Xperia Arc vs LG Optimus 2x posted on AndroidSpin.
[HTC Incredible S] LeanNSupreme:
Q2 is anytime between April till June, so we could be waiting till pretty much the start of the summer for Gingerbread

Worth the wait for Gingerbread, you did a wise choice in getting the IS.

Hi Northleaf,

I personally don't have any experience with the ROM in your sig,

But if you want to go bugless (bugless?), may I recommend ezGingerbread. It is completely factory Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread).

For more of a power user, May I recommend Ginger Yoshi 1 RC6.1, I am using that right now, and it is bugless and really stable for day to day usage.

But then, I can't go further. How could I flash the rom?

I mean, it's a zip file, can you describe exactly what i have to do with it?

Thanks

you must put the zip file to sdcard. then reboot in the sd recovery apps. updated the zip file

Hello everyone!

I'm going to buy a motorola defy.

When it will arrive at my home, what I'll should do to install this rom?

I mean, root, where to find recovery etc

Thanks you and sorry for my bad english
[Defy General] iRambler:
Go to the development forum, and there choose which rom you want to install. I suggest not to use a chinese rom.

However, thanks for your help, all I had to do was to install the zip file, but problem was I used a wrong version of system recovery tool.

Bye!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordthanda:
I'm working with my new (from woot) Viewsonic G Tablet.

I managed to flash clockwork recovery (v .8) with little to no trouble. However, I am having some difficulty flashing a custom ROM. I have tried several different versions, including many of the ones posted on this forum.

Whenever I try, clockwork says that the install completed, but when I reboot it hangs at the Viewsonic bird-logo screen. After about 25 minutes I give up, reboot. It happens again. I reboot into clockwork and restore to stock and it works fine. I don't think I'm missing a step, but I'm pleading for help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atakapa:
From clockworkmod -- Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache. Repartition sdcard to 2048 and 0. The repartition will format your user partition, so back up any data to an external source that you don't want to lose.

Re-flash ROM of choice, hopefully boot all the way, if not then try wiping data again after flash and then fix permissions from clockworkmod.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordthanda:
I'll give it a shot!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordthanda:
No luck.

My steps:

1) Shut down

2) Boot into recovery (hold the vol+ and power)

3) Wipe data/factory reset

4) Wipe cache

5) advanced, wipe Dalvik

6) advanced, partition sdcard 2048, 0

7) mount usb, copy rom & gapps over (both from xda with reports of success)

8) install zip from sd (CorwinCM7RC4Beta.zip)

9) install zip from sd ( gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip)

10) re-wipe data

11) rewipe cache

12) rewipe dalvik

13) fix permissions

14) boot & freezes at the birds

Can you flash a stock rom like 3588 and see if that boots?

Stock roms are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000

They have to be flashed with stock recovery, not clockworkmod.

I would probably use nvflash to get a working stock image on it first. This thread for those instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Nvflash bekit's images then flash 3588 through the stock recovery, and you'll be back to latest stock image. Then you might have success with the custom ROM again.

Some tabs had a slightly different partition structure, mine was one of them. I nvflashed bekit's originals and it straightened out some things for me back in December.

It seems like a lot to do, but you may only need it once. I've only needed to use it twice since owning the Gtab, and the second time was by choice.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akodoreign:
Having similar issue on the batch recieved from woot. Stock and Vegan 5.1x works but everything else gets stuck at the viewsonic birds screen.

I have no idea why. I'm going to try to do the old nvflash push method of installing cw .8 bekit today, since on the two I had in my possession this weekend got stuck and I used the install via recovery on cw .8 on them.

(btw. My original tab loads any rom(g-tablet) i want to throw at it, I used nvflash in december so it's the only thing i can think of)

Model on the tabs from woot is upc300-2.2 so yeah I am baffled (unless it turns out the way cw .8 installs....)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxlgeek:
Hey xda forums, first time poster, long time reader. I rooted my Nook color from these forums and find them to be most informative. I just got back from hiking the Grand Canyon to find my G Tablet waiting for me from Woot.

As I did with my Nook, I immediately started to replace the stock rom with Cyanogenmod 7 beta. I followed the instructions on the Wiki, including installing Gapps, by putting them on the internal SD and using CWM to install from zip. After everything was done however I am now stuck at the Viewsonic splash screen. I tried to read thru the Googles and tried reflashing back to stock by way of some instructions on DroidPirate I think it was, to no avail. I can't even see my external SD card to load the update to recover. Please help. Anyone?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atakapa:
I would get nvflash set up with bekit's images and flash that to get yourself back to a working stock image. Follow the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

After that, put Clockworkmod ( v .8, get it from development forum) on it and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0 then you should be ready to flash.

Then get a ROM from the development forum here, there are some based off cm7 (gingerbread builds).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxlgeek:
I was hoping not to have to use NVflash cuz people report problems with the boot loop, however I havent found any other option so far so I guess i'm trying that. Thanks for the link.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Xxlgeek,

Every time I hear boot loop I think re-partition -- because most of the time that

seems to fix the problem.

I agree you should NVFlash to get a stock version working. Then install CWM so

you can partition -- and the do the Fix Permissions, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe

Cache, Wipe Factory Data.

With that I would try to wind up with a stock machine and let it OTA up to 3588.

I wouldn't load another Alternate Rom until I knew my tablet is working good and

until I know a lot more about the roms and how to work with the G-Tablet.

IMHO.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxlgeek:
I can actually boot into CWM right now. I already repartitioned and wiped all the caches. But when I try to flash Cyanogenmod 7 again, which is on the root of the internal memory, it just does the same thing, won't load past splash screen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Xxlgeek,

If it didn't work, I would erase the Cyanogenmod 7 file -- and I would go back to a stock rom until I could make sure all the hardware is working right and the system

is stable.

When you know the tablet is good and stable, you can always download and re-do.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tunez23:
Just throwing this out there. I bought 2 from Woot myself. On my first G-Tab I had the same issue with every single ROM I tried. I finally used NVFlash to go back to stock and everything was good again. I then flashed to the G-Harmony Gingerbread ROM and it worked and still runs like a CHAMP. Now, I finally get the other G-Tab out and start to go through the same routine as the first and it's been a no go repeatedly. I have mostly been trying with the Cyanogen 7 Final ROM to no avail and even with the G-Harmony. Going to try NVFlash on number 2 tab and see what the result is and will post back in a bit with updates.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tunez23:
Ok, I said I would reply and here it is. The downside is this.... The NVFlash worked great and put me back to stock. The bad part is that I am not sure that was what actually caused the problem to occur in the first place on the second tablet. I had read right before doing this that installing the Clockwork mod from the SD card instead can be a fix as well. I did that this time through. It also shows something different on the screen when you hold down the start and vol+ buttons than it was when CWM was installed wrong.

So basically this:

Run NV Flash (Detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950 )

Run Clockwork Mod FROM THE SD CARD!!! (Detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 )

Then proceed to follow those exact instructions from the same thread.

Do not skip stuff, do not think you have a better path, just do it all as described. I now have a G-Tablet running the Cyanogen Mod 7 Final release SMOOTH as glass! Hope this helps someone else out.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Did you extract both archives to the same directory on your computer?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
2 partitions are reversed and Gingerbread roms don't like it. Using bekits original nvflash files will fix the partitioning permanently as far as flashing between froyo and gingerbread.

Any official updates from viewsonic past 3588 have a locked bootloader and require viewsonics kernel so you must use Gojimis fix or nvflash to go back.

Edit.....This is not all tablets. I'm guessing around 30% or so have the 2 reversed partitions but it seems 50% of the woot tabs. Helped fix many of these on irc in the last 2 weeks

Are they in the same directory. If they are not then nvflash can not find the files to flash. Both zips have to be unzipped in the same directory and the driver has to work. You must be able to see the tablet from the computer when you boot into apx mode. APX mode is power/vol- NOT power/vol+

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowyungfatso:
Long time lurker, first time poster. Got the tablet from Woot a couple of days ago. Same problem as OP when I tried to flash VEGAn RC1: got through Clockwordmod install okay and after I loaded VEGAn-Tab and rebooted it was stuck at the Viewsonic screen. Here's what worked for me:

1. NVFlash - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950 (link mentioned above)

Note: I used the 1.1-3588-based version at the bottom of the link (look for the 4/17/2011 update at the bottom of the first post).

2. Clockworkmod/VEGAn-Tab - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

For good measure, I cleared the cache and Delvik (sp) cache in addition to the user data at the appropriate step in part 2 (the part before you're supposed to reboot), and fixed

A few notes:

1. I used only the internal memory (i.e., no additional SD card).

2. I followed directions EXPLICITLY every time; I kind of know my way around hacking Android devices, but it never hurts to follow instructions explicitly--especially when someone took the time to write every step down.

3. I noticed the device "behaved" a little differently after I NVFlashed, so maybe the woot versions are different/later builds? I do note it came with 3588 already, so it was a little weird that the screens were a little different. I didn't spend much time investigating. Thought it was weird it came with Angry birds when it came from woot.

Hope this helps!

It's becoming rather annoying that the 4G signal constantly goes to sleep once the screen is off. I was on my friend's Galaxy S 4g on T-mobile and his managed to stay on constantly (it's actually the default connection and you won't even see that 3G connects). Once the screen on Epic turns off, the 4g signal goes on sleep, making me lose any type of internet connection...

Uh, 4G icon's Zzzz means that it's idle. Just like when the 3G icon says D instead of showing arrows.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APOLAUF:
You aren't losing a connection. It just means you don't have any data activity. Same goes for 3G. If it *isn't* displaying the idle icon, you're transferring data. If it is, then data has been idle for a few seconds, and the radio goes to low power to avoid burning through your battery. It's not sleeping though. Also, you're probably relying too much on the icon - it's slow to refresh, and often doesn't correlate to an immediate data connection. So, just leave it be. Nothing's happening to your data connection, data's going to and from your device as it should be. (Your laptop's WiFi, and also the Epic's, do the exact same thing.)

You are loosing a connection when this happens. I've been looking for a fix for this for a long time. Unfortunately I think that the sprint side is at fault.

I think the phone let's certain apps hold a connection open while in standby while others don't. For example pdanet keeps it open but downloading install files for games like dungeon defenders the phone lets the signal sleep. Anywho the above works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JokeZony0u:
I've done that already- doesn't work.

How do I know there's no connection? It's simple- open up gTalk on 3G (even when it's on D) and have someone IM you, it'll go through (almost instantly). Now repeat with 4G, turn the screen off and wait a few seconds or just know that it's on zZZ. Have someone IM you, it wouldn't go through until you establish an internet connection (hit refresh in your gmail app to revive it or go browse the internet), only then will the IM go through.

So all in all, it proves that there isn't an internet connection when it goes to zZZ

Yea 4g works like wifi hence the sleep. Somethings wrong with your phone or rom I've done the above on.both my epics on multiple roms and its always worked. Also I hope you know its going to shut off regardless. It only stays on it there's an app actually downloading something. I dont know of a way to keep 4g permanently on. This will only prevent the sleep when the screen.is shut off. Without it 4g sleeps no.matter what your doing. Sounds like your just going to have to.deal with it until someone with enough need comes up with something.

I can only conclude that leaving the screen on is the only way to keep the 4G connection stable- which sucks a lot since the display sucks up more battery than the 4G radio does!
