[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metal_in_Silk:
This was also my experience as well. No fingerprints anywhere, box was shrink wrapped, cables were factory twist ties. I have no doubt that mine was new.

After the OTA update the preinstalled apps were gone, including the pond background, three short sample videos (king kong preview, indy cars, two animals), some sample songs including fur elise, also color note, angry birds and amazon market. There was also a dlink wifi setting that went missing after the update but still don't think it was a refurb. This thing is a fingerprint magnet, no way there wasn't even a partial on it or a speck of dust somewhere if it had been repackaged. Imho.

woot order vs tigerdirect order

I bought one from woot and then one from tigerdirect the day after. Booted them up next to each other and they were identical. The one from tiger came first and within 2 days so there would be no way they would have had time to resell it if they bought it from woot. They are now on sale at tiger so these may have been a huge woot purchase, but I do not believe mine was, considering how fast it came.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyPhan:
Mine seems to be brand new and works fine. After all Woot said it was new ;) Charged up, activated wireless and played around a bit, no problem. Been playing angry birds far too much. May try to mod it when I can find all the info and know I'm not missing anything. Otherwise I don't think it is as horrible as one would be led to believe.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidju:
woot tends to sell a whole range of things, from brand new to refurbished. that is how they can get so many and sell them for so cheap. refurbished CAN be better than brand new, btw. whatever breaks first is fixed and then it is reshipped as refurbed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackaMathecian:
Apps disappeared, classic different...

I got mine on Friday. Charged it for 4+ hours, fired it up and the launcher

took me to classic with a bunch of apps already installed as in the quote above.

I get a notice for OTA, which it goes through. I reboot and I'm still back to the same classic screen as when I first fired up the tablet (before OTA). I checked and it indeed flashed the new version (3588). Saturday, I don't spend too much time with it except for a half hour of angry birds. Sunday night, I turn it on: classic now doesn't look the same, some of the apps (as mentioned in quote above) have disappeared. WTH happened?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metal_in_Silk:
I had to re d/l the apps but someone posted how to find the pond background again. Long press on classic home (anywhere there isn't an icon) a menu pops up. Select wallpaper, then select live wallpaper. There are several you can choose from including the elusive water/pond. I was happy that it wasn't overwritten even tho it sucks the bottom out of my battery LOL you can almost see the sides collapsing as the juice is drawn out of it :p
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjit:
I had a similar experience. System appeared to be physically new, but had a lot of random settings/profiles/apps already in place.

I continued to play with it some more, then suddenly on the 2nd or 3rd reboot, it automatically did a factory wipe/reset and presented me with the setup wizard.

Odd, but I'm glad I hadn't done too much with it yet, as all the non-default apps (like Angry birds) were removed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airos4:
I bought 2, both appear to be new. No config anything was preloaded for wifi, no fingerprints, twistties on wires, etc etc etc. Had no problems with either one - one has GHarmony on it, the other has VEGAn-Tab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGCubana:
My GTab was purchased from 6th Ave. Electronics over 2 months ago. I had the same scenario play out.

1. Booted straight to 2.2, not TNT. w/floating leaves background

2. Angry Birds and Flash were already loaded and functional

2a. The homescreen was fully populated with shortcuts

3. Upon joining my wireless network, I recv'd an OTA update

4. Rebooted and everything went fine for an hour

5. Got an FC while surfing.

6. Forced a shutdown

7. Upon rebooting I was greeted with the EndUserLicAgreement (for the 1st time)

7a. Prompted to create an entry for my gmail Acct. (1st time as well)

7c. Had to join my network again

8. All shortcuts from 2A were gone.

8a. My user data was wiped. Lost my Angry Birds scores

9. Had to install Angry Birds and Flash

I just wish new owners could be forewarned about steps 5 - ...

Step 5 (& subsequent observations) can be alarming to a new owner; as proven by the existance of this thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacefuloutrage:
Same as mine

I had that stock background, too. The only problem I ran into was my Wi-Fi was borked (router, not tablet), which I found out after I hooked up a spare. I had Wi-Fi turned off because I didn't really use it.

Otherwise, my woot tablet is kicking ass, and if I see them sell them again, I will bite for a gift.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johncal:
I know this has probably been mentioned 1000 times but why doesn't anyone make an app that will let you manually turn the soft key lights on or off on a non-rooted dinc.

So many clock apps, etc have the option of forcing the softkey lights off, prove that it could be easily done since those apps are available for non-rooted dincs.

If anyone has a solution (other than the black e-tape one) please let me know. You can't see the buttons worth a crap unless the room is very well lit. in other words useless at night in the house with normal lighting. Yes I know I could cover the sensor with my thumb but there has to be a solution lurking out there somewhere.

thanks in advance.... johncal
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
There is. It's called Screen Filter. You can use it to do really low brightness (like when you use your phone in bed, not what she said :p) and also manually turn softkey lights on or off. Actually, I'm not sure about forcing on, but it does turn off softkey lights for as long as you want.

Seriously, why do you want to turn them off? I sorta memorized the position of the softkeys.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I find the softkeys way too bright, so I've always used apps to turn them off in the past, never on.

In addition to trying Screen Filter as recommended above, give LEDs Hack a try. It's primarily designed to turn them off, but maybe the "ON" button will work... I'm really not sure.

For what it's worth, CM7 lets you control the softkeys. Specifically, if you go into the auto-brightness levels, you can turn them on/off for a given brightness level. From my experience, it seems that these settings stick even when you're not using auto-brightness. I turned off soft-keys at all the levels, and they stay off even when I'm not in auto-brightness.

With CM7, I no longer have to use Screen Filter for turning off the softkeys, but I do still use it to dim the screen very low.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johncal:
I really want to keep the softkeys on not off. I'm also running a stock non-rooted rom. Phone's fine for me the way it is except that I just want the ability to keep the softkey lights on. I guess I'm just surprised that no one has come up with a solution for that.

Screen filter is for turning them off and unfortunately, LED hack is for rooted phones. Thanks for the suggestions though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Where are the softkey settings in CM7? I looked under the autobrightness settings place but couldn't find anything.

Nightly 37 btw.

-CM7 ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Menu > Settings > CM Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Edit other levels

Lower / Upper = readings from the light sensor

Screen = the screen brightness you want based on the lower/upper light sensor values

Buttons = whether or not you want the softkeys on. Unfortunately, they cannot be dimmed (hardware limitations, from what I've read), so 255=on and 0=off

In the default configuration, for example, if the sensor value is 0-199, the screen will be set to brightness 25 and the softkeys will be turned on. If the sensor value is >399, notice that the softkeys turn off (button value changes to 0). If you want the buttons on all the time, set all button values as 255. If you're like me, and you hate the softkey lights, set all button values to 0.

Byrong, youre the man. Did not know about this. Bye bye softkey lights. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
Help! My atrix now is stuck at the "Rethink Possible" Screen and I only installed SPB 3D Shell.

Suggestions?
[Atrix 4G General] graemegb:
reflash the SBF file using RSD lite.
[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
Thanks, but I was looking for something a little less severe.

That's like saying, oh, I've got a bug in my windows -Friend "Better wipe and reinstall windows" that's the only solution! and so forth.

THAT would wipe the phone.

I've made some progress, it seems that the Beautiful Widgets and the SPB are conflicting, and I can get into the desktop but it's black. If I press the search icon, then I get the google page.

It's only stuck at a black home screen. I have this thing set up to the nth degree and I can't bear the thought of doing it all over again, and horking up my wifi and so forth with the flash rom.

Got any suggestions on how to get to a moto blur screen with taps etc?

It's not like I rooted the damn thing or screwed it up that way. Just an install of a 15.00 program messed it up big time.
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
i couldnt get SPB to work on mine...
[Atrix 4G General] Tennis11:
Dang. Wish I got the refund in time. The 15 minutes isn't enough. It took me 30 minutes to realize that this launcher has little room for customizing, and there's little things like slow scrolling that make LP better.

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
OK, I could get to "search" mode google etc., so I searched the catalog of apps on the phone and then I found "task Manager" and got in that way. Uninstalled Beautiful widgets and stopped SPB but didn't uninstall it. Then the next time I booted I had complete hang and had to do a hard reset. Oh well, not like it's the most fun part of a phone - setting it up, so maybe I'll do a better job this time.

I never did have to reflash the rom, I knew it wasn't THAT bad.

What's irritating is nearly 90 users read my post and only 3 replied in any way. How irritating.

That's people for you I guess.
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
jesus the same thing is happening to me right now..

stuck on the rethink possible screen. WTF
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
how did you get to a black desktop?
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
ok my phone finally got past the Rethink possible screen, but now i'm staring at a blank desktop and can only access the contact/dialer screen... search button will only allow me to search contacts

pressing a bunch of buttons also allowed me to get into the browser.. i'm fine with doing a reset if i can figure out how to get to the settings screen somehow.
[Atrix 4G General] diedemus:
you can do a factory reset without doing a reflash by going into android recovery and wiping user data/cache

hold vol down and power on

hit vol down till you get to android recovery

hit vol up

tap lower right of screen

use vol up/down to select wipe data/factory reset

tap ok on lower left

select wipe cache partition

tap ok

select reboot

tap ok

redo everything you jacked up...... only better this time
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
ok, i got the the "android recovery" part, hit vol up, then it says "Entering Android Recovery mode OSD 1" or something like that.. now i see a little green android with the exclamation.. volume up/down does nothing/ there is no option for a reset or anything else... stuck here and afraid to touch any different buttons but the volume buttons aren't giving me any new options..

is it safe to do a battery pull at this point and try again or will it brick my phone?

by the way, my phone is totally stock..

...pulled battery, attempted again, same issue.
[Atrix 4G General] roscoejackson:
OK, here's how i fixed it without any resets..

from the dialer, i held down the search button, used Vlingo to search "Settings", uninstalled SPB, voila, phone back to normal.

thank f'king god.
[Atrix 4G General] nagnrik:

[Atrix 4G General] Diviance:
I tried it out on my Atrix, ran fine with no trouble even after a few reboots. So I don't know if it is SPB itself or if it is conflicting with something you guys have installed.

Hi everyone, i need some help here. My previous HD2 stop working so i called T-Mo for a replacement. When i got my new HD2 i installed MGLARD 1.13 and CWM and installed a new ROM that had Android 2.3 and everything was working perfectly; however, my data service was not working. Every time i tried to use my explorer, Market Place, or any other application that required data it will time out and tell that the server was not responding. That had never happened to me. I tried a hard reset, i installed another ROM and tried everything i could to see how could i fix it, but had no luck :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igotsanevo4g:
First of all the thunder bolt is not that much alike to the evo, its a desire HD variant.

Different processors, diff 4g (no 4g on this port) and no HDMI is on the thunderbolt. Just because a phone has a 4.3 screen and is made by HTC doesn't mean its the same as the evo ...

The only thing this offers is CDMA sense 2.0.

Tbolt has a lte radio, but possibly could be redone to work on evo(probably not, ask shinzul)

We are supposed to have an ec10 voodoo kernel to use with the ROM. Do we flash the kernel and ROM at the same time when installing or do we flash the kernel in recovery, disable lag fix, and then boot back into recovery and flash the ROM? Sorry for the noob question and thanks in advance.

If you are currently using a voodoo kernel disable lagfix before flashing anything. Flash kernel first. Once it is installed wipe cache, then data. Still in recovery flash ROM, then reboot and enjoy.
