[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimSykes:
So I got mine in, and on first boot up, I liked the TnT UI, but the more I played with it the less I liked it. It’s a great design concept, but I feel it’s more of an alpha build of the UI then something that should be in production. Give it a few more rev and it may be good. Today I plan on putting on CM7 RC3 and see how it likes like. I have been using CM for a while now on my different phones so I expect it to work well on the gtablet.

As far as the viewing angle, in landscape it works well, but in portrait mode not so well on the dark spots. but not a deal breaker for me.

Kept getting errors with the stock ROM

I got 2 of these in on Monday from Woot. 1 for the fiancee and 1 for myself (it was her B-day present but I couldn't resist not getting one too). I had also researched and figured modding it would be immanent so I felt it was a good idea to have one to "test" things on and then her's to keep running as smoothly as possible (she doesn't have patients..)

So we charged them and booted them up and after about 30 minutes of constant errors I decided to install TNT lite on mine, and after a few minutes of playing with that, installed the same on hers. It runs a lot faster and doesn't give me the constant errors. (Weird that not everyone seems to get constant errors like we were getting with stock)... Since then we have installed the free ADW launcher and I'm loving it with the exception of the top bar (the one that has the clock, wifi status, battery, etc.....) seems to want to hide (even when I have it set not to). Its actually like I can slide the screen left and right (to change to different home screens, like is expected), and can scroll up and down (but just the amount that that top bar takes up (I think this is called the Status Bar?). Curious if anyone has seen this, so far searches are not finding anything.

Other than that, it running pretty good, speed wise it blows away my original Droid phone. I see that Robeet posted a new version of TNT lite that will take care of the sleep issue and will upgrade to that in a few days once more people have posted on it. I'm new at modding phones/tablets and prefer not to be a guinea pig :p
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiser771:
I got mine about a week before the wooters, I went with vegan 7. I love this thing, it is fast and does everything I want it to do. Flash plays without a hiccup, pages scroll smoothly. Market Place has nearly everything I need, and if you can't find it there, you can find it elsewhere. Only issues I have are the viewing angles (won't pretend its not an issue), capacitive buttons being unlit and accidently pushed, the sleep issue, and an issue where my internal storage doesn't sync back after disconnecting from a of sometimes. It's an awesome tablet though, glad I skipped the archos 101.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcampbe7:
Got my Woot gTab last night.

Played with the stock ROM for all of 15 minutes. It kept dropping my wireless and various other oddities. I let it do it's update to stock and messed with it some more. I really wanted the market and all of my apps I had stored in AppBrain.

Loaded Clockworkmod and then went to VeganTab 7 with Clemsyn's 7 kernel. This thing flies and I am slowly getting it to where I want it with my widgets and apps.

I also use Kindle quite-a-bit and reading on this is great. The viewing angles have not been an issue for me AT ALL. If anything, I love the viewing angle and heres why. When in portrait mode and reading a book, no one can see or read over my shoulder! When in landscape mode and surfing the web, I never had an issue with viewing angle (sitting in bed with the gTab on my lap). Viewing angle is non-issue for me and in all honesty I prefer that someone next to me on a plane or otherwise cannot see the screen. Call me paranoid. :D

My only complaint so far is that it powers off after going to sleep. Not sure if there is a fix for that, I have yet to find a setting. Not a huge deal as it boots fast, but I would still like to hit the power button and come up to the unlock slider and then home screen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCFalcon59:
I got mine yesterday. Unfortunately after charging for over an hour, I wasn't able to boot it up. It was stuck in a boot loop. I am guessing that whoever installed the kindle app/Flash/Angry Birds janked it up. With help from roebeet I was able to recover it and then flash it to 3558. After that I installed tnt lite 4.4 and it is running like a champ.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olsend:
Got mine yesterday. After playing with the Stock ROM for a couple hours put on TNT Lite. Got the boot loop so went back to stock ROM and tried TNT again and worked with no issues.

Works great so far!

The viewing angles hasn't been that much of a problem so far. I do feel I need to get a screen protector though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arglebargle:
I played with stock for about an hour and then put TNT Lite on it and Clemsyns v7.

I don't mind the screen angles too much, its not as bad as some people make it seem.

I am finding it to be sluggish. Not so slow its unusable, but not what I would consider responsive or snappy as some people have described it.

For example, when I was entering my google account information, after entering my password it took pressing the 'next' button thrree times before it started loading the next screen. I'm not sure if its busy, or if it is not registering my touch.

I've noticed it also when launching items, for example pressing the browser button 2 or 3 times to get it started.

I initially thought it was just me, but then when I was watching some of the review youtube videos, I noticed that sometimes when launching an app or a game the reviewer had to touch the icon twice to get it started.

This isnt a troll, the pros of it outweight the negatives, its just something I'm going to have to get used to dealing with. Maybe I'll look for some kind of load or busy indicator so I'll just know to be patient and wait rather than keep pressing. The problem is im not sure if my touch was actually registered or if its just busy.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baywalk123:
Got my Gtab yesterday. have problem to update the first time, keep fC. Turn off and reboot, then the update went fine. I find the stock is still very slow even with the update. Follow the instruction, installed CWM 0.8, then installed Calkulin V1.1, then updated the kernel, install hacked flash player 10.1. The market works but don't know if I get the real "gmarket", I saw word "sprint" gmarket screen. How do I just select "free" apps? I dont' seem to find the option. The gtab is very responsive and fast with this rom. However, the rom still has the "sleep to death" problem" like the others. Flash works. Viewing angle does kinda bad, however, someone on forum suggest that if you turn the gtab upside down, the view angle get approve, which I tried and I think it's much better. I wondering if I can take out the screen myself and installed the other way. I use rockplayer for video, it plays very good. Problem, when playing video, the screen will not rotate, so I can use the "better" side of the view angel, that also apply to play angry bird, rotating not work. Web and home screen are rotated as I turn the tablet. If the video and games rotate, then it's good for me. When you need privacy, you use hold the table regular way, to share, turn upside down. ooh, Hulu works. Anyone has the rotation on video and angry bird problem like me? Also, does anyone has any instruction on how to set up home screen with widget? I am so new to android, I kinda loss with play the widget last night.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dullzzy:
Mine should come today or tomorrow and I'm planning on playing with the stock rom for couple days before I move on to something else. This will be my first tablet and I'm looking forward to the experience.

I initially had my eyes on the Xoom wifi but I couldn't pass on the WOOT deal and saved me some $$$
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirishmen:
Got mine last night. Played with the stock ROM. The interface had it's pro's and cons. The biggest con was that I was getting quite a few force close dialogs for even the pre-installed apps.

Since then I have installed a custom ROM, TNT Lite 4.4.0, along with using LauncerPro. After doing this, I haven't had nearly the number of force close dialogs appearing. I am however still having issues finding apps that I want through Android Market, so I'll see if going to an older version of TNT Lite will help, else I will have to find the APK files and install them manually. However, even with how it is, it is still much better then the APP store that came with the stock ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackaMathecian:
Keep em rolling!

Oh-some responses folks, keep them rolling. I'm still waiting for mine

to come in the mail. It should get here today or tomorrow :).

I saw something about 'wiping data/cache' before modding on a bunch of the

threads. Is this necessary for brand new devices, once you get the OTA update?

Also, do you need CWM to do the data/cache wiping, or can this be done with

stock tools?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcflman:
Got it yesterday & charged for 3 1/2 hours until the light was green. I was on it for like 9 hours straight after & still had about 25% battery left. :D

Installed VEGAn 5.1 & love it. The stock ROM was laggy and not all that great. The only issue I ran into was getting the market unknown 18 error where some apps wouldn't install. Was able to fix that using the android terminal app & some instructions somewhere on the net.

This site really is an invaluable resource. All the reading done before the arrival really paid off.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
My gTablet was essentially DOA when I got it. It wouldn't get through the personalization routine and boot into the Launcher desktop at all. A call to Viewsonic support resulted in them saying they could do nothing for me, and to return it to W00t.

I flashed it to VEGAn 5.1.1 and today installed the Clemsyn v7 kernel. Now it works just fine. I was off of work today, so I spent a good part of the day enjoying beer on the couch with the dog, running the battery down.

So far so good.

Did you try the Android Market fix outlined in the mod sticky? Works like a charm for me.

By the way, I'm a Wooter. Moded to TnT 4.3 and Clem's 7 using CWM.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
This is what's bothering me about viewsonic. Their starchild seems to be the gpad and they seem to be ignoring the gtablet even though the gtab is enjoying much better sales than the gpad. Not only that, it boggles my mind that viewsonic seems to be abandoning the gtab for whatever reason. Don't they realize they are sitting on top of a gold mind with the gtab? Just a tad more software support and they could be in direct competition with the xoom and ipad 2.

I'm getting a headache just trying to wrap my mind around their business decisions.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirishmen:
Not yet. I already know that there was some android fix. However, I'm not sure if that will be the solution. The issue is not that the Android Market does not work, but just certain apps don't appear when I search for them, but I do find other related to them. For example, I had to download and manually install LauncherPro because when I searched for it, that particular app did not appear. I did see apps like LauncherPro Icons, which is an app I already purchased for my phone and was able to install it.

Also, searching the Internet, it seems like the issue of certain apps not appearing is not specific to this device and/or ROM, but also occurs when a device is new to market. It's like there is some way in the market that a developers can specify that it only works for particular devices and/or ROMs.

UPDATE:

Down graded to TNT Lite 4.3.0 and that did not fix the issue of the missing apps. However, I did follow the directions in this forum from the post "Fix to access all (most) apps in the market on VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1" and I'm now able to find Last.fm, Facebook, LauncherPro, and other apps I was looking for. So if you had this same issue give that a try.

got mine from woot.

Still stock at the moment, TNT UI stinks.

My wireless lan was dinked up couldn't use wpa security as all the dialog boxes were missing. I did a factory reset and that fixed wireless lan issue. The only thing I am noticing now is that I can not see any wirelss N. So debating on sending it in, or if I should flash a custom rom to see if that gets fixed.

ive been using tnt lite, havent had much play time but the screen can get frustrating at time trying to find the angle, but for 285 i can be fine with that. this is my first experience at all with any android so trying to figure out how the interface as a whole works is a little daunting to me. get kinda confused when people start talking about the market...like are there different versions of the "market"? next is to find some apps that ill like. anyone use the amaozn market place app with tntlite 4.4?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
I also really disliked just reading in the Nook app with the standard screen of the gTablet.

I installed a cheap $3 iPad screen protector, which I had to cut to size. It made reading and various angle viewing somewhat better, Enough to use it without getting irritated. Now, it looks like my Archos A70.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCMike37:
Received mine last night finally. First impression was it's heavy, but it's not like I am going to be carrying it whilst running an ultra marathon. Upgraded the stock ROM to the latest, but as no big surprise, slow, laggy. I think the biggest thing I have noticed is that it seems to take a long time to switch between landscape and portrait when I flip it around.

As a previous Galaxy Tab user, I like the bigger size, while still being smaller than the iPad is very good for me.

Now, off to start modding and rooting to Vegan to open this thing really up, then to pair the blue tooth GPS and OBD-2 scanner and install the car mount that I ordered as well:)

Well, finally on Vegan 5.1, took a bit longer as this is my first time doing this with Android. I likey. Much more responsive, and i love love love being able to connect a USB keyboard and mouse. Holy crap that is nice. The one thing I do miss strangely enough, is the haptic feedback. I think it is because I was just used to it on the Tab and have to retrain myself to not expect it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rperkins21903:
Got mine yesterday from the second Woot shipment. My god, what a dog straight out of the box. Almost unusable, touch screen only responsive on the bottom third, slow.

Flashed clockwork, installed TNT4.4, did the screen calibration trick, fixed the market.......all of a sudden it was like a bought a new tablet that just looked like the G-Tablet but performed like a monster.

Absolutely great hardware, the most awful software I've ever seen, and this from someone who had to support Windows Millenium at one point. No wonder they got so many returns, without this forum I'd have returned it too. If they could get all those fixes I mentioned onto their stock rom these would sell great. As it is, this is more a device for us technical hobbyists who like to tinker and aren't afraid of major changes.

So if you aren't afraid of following directions go ahead put a new rom on and you'll never look back.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintre:
I ended up getting mine through Woot, but have been here researching for weeks before the sale.

Mine had a dead pixel in a bad place so I have emailed Woot to get a replacement.

However that has not stopped me from playing around while I wait.

I test drove...

Default TNT

Overall it is not "bad" using the classic interface. However it is clearly designed for home / family use. I am using mine for work so not being able to sync the calendar to my Google app calendar was a problem. Same thing with contacts.

I liked the idea of their default email app, but again not great for business.

Performance wise using the classic was not horrible.

TNT Lite

I liked TNT lite. The performance was great and using the market fix and google apps was easy.

I had, what seems to be a common issue with current build, issues with waking from sleep. It wouldn't! It would reboot.

I will try it out again in the future.

Vegan Tab 5.1.1b

This is my current favorite. Works well from the get go and the performance is really good. I like the inclusion of a few Notion Ink features here and there.

Not a big fan of the traditional Android top bar. I prefer the notification style of TNT to be honest instead of pulling down the whole bar to see notifications.

Have not tried the gAdam yet, but plan on getting it in as well prior to returning mine. Once I get my RMA I will set back to 3588 and do a reset.

Apps I have tried...

Skyfire Browser - Nice, but just not my style.

Dolphin HD - I have always like Dolphin and this works OK on the tab. Can;t wait for their tablet version.

Firefox - OK, but too slow and graphics for some reason do not look as good on websites when using it.

Quickoffice - Working great. I love the fact that it automatically integrates with Dropbox, Google Docs, and others.

2X Remote Desktop client for RDP. It is free and can connect to alternate ports and ssl. It is originally designed for their services, but has RDP capabilities that challenge many of the paid RDP clients.

Well as I was typing this the guys at Woot have already sent me the RMA info so looks like I wil be waiting for a few days to get my replacement.

I received my gtab yesterday afternoon. I charged it at work. When I got home I went at it.

Stock rom was okay, but wanted to jump into TNT Lite 4.3. Since I have been reading all of the threads here and elsewhere, I was ready for the big test. Everything came out fine.

I am happy with my device and plan to take it to TechEd 2011 in Atlanta this year to keep my schedule straight.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzzard:
Gtab Ownership

So, here is what I tell people:

The Gpad has good (not great) hardware, and f-ing terrible stock software.

The Tegra2 platform is hard to brick.

The Gtab is relatively cheap when compared with other tablets, and certainly touchscreen laptops.

Almost no normal retail accessories are available for the Gtab (but DIY and eBay options abound).

There is, however, a much talked about docking station, with Ethernet and HDMI ports that can be found online (it is sometimes marketed for the Zpad as well).

A working boot-loader replacement is available via Clockwork, and multiple different after-market ROMs are available via Cyanogen Mod, Vegan, and TNT-Lite.

Multiple App stores are available for Android devices (quality is highly variable between the third-party stores).

Side-loading apps requires that you check a check-box (try that with an Ipad).

All of those conditions together mean that this is a almost perfect device for modders and tinkerers, although, mediocre screen and non-existent accessories have doomed the Gtab to be overshadowed by almost every other device that will be stocked next to a matching silicone case.

Price on these puppies are going down as other tablets grab all the headlines, if you want to hack on something, I would recommend the Gtab. If you want something to give to your girlfriend or your parents, get a device that has accessories and a decent out of the box experience.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonDroid:
Is there any type of security for tablets out there? Right now is it impossible for a hacker to gain access to our device. I live in a condo with several wifi networks around, including mine. I don't see any firewall software available for these things. Imcurrently running the Gtab with TNT lite 4.4
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racketier:
I recommend trying out Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1. It's one of the fasted if not the fasted Froyo gtab roms. It also keeps the TNT settings, and TNT notification bar at the top.

Drop on Clymson's kernel v.9 and you'll really be flying.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasturd:
Going on 3 weeks with gtab.

Went from 3588 to TwoTapsX with all supplements also installed. Some glitches, otherwise ran great.

Until: Installed WeatherBug lastnight. Would boot into constant force closing. Not blaming weatherbug, but I don't think it's a coincedence.

So, downed it to TnT 4.3.0, using TTX recovery to flash 4.3.0. Booted, then side loaded terminal emulator to run the standard recovery recovery, worked great. Then wiped data and cleaned cache.

Running great again with TnT 4.4.0!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khdude:
I followed the instructions posted by Sean Cullinan on "blendblog.net" (I can't seem to post the link here), but it calls for clockwork mod, vegan-tab 1.5.1 and Pershoot's kernal. Great instructions btw.

Works although a bit buggy:

- stock browser crashes regularly, tried Opera but not much better

- flash sometimes crashes or is not playable

- wifi goes out frequently - have to toggle off/on, wifi signal significantly reduces as I move into different rooms in my house

- screen sometimes locks up or gets slow and non-responsive and I have to reboot

- sleep sometimes shuts down device and I have to reboot

- touching screen doesn't always register, have to try several times

- onscreen keyboard difficult to use

I'm wondering if I should try another rom, kernal, etc.
