[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuzzyDee:
Howdy all,

I've been having a bit of a strange issue these last few days. I'm thinking the LED might be on the fritz. I'm not sure I can be bothered reverting to a telstra rom and sending in for warranty over a blinking light, but if I could fix it myself I would be wrapped.

I awoke the other morning to find my phone had no led showing. That's weird I thought, is it still plugged in? Sure is. So I did'nt think too much of it, until it did it again the following morning. I've since downloaded blink and tried a few different colors, and it seems only red is working. If I test with blue or green the notification doesn't flash at all. It will flash when red is selected for test, it also flashes when yellow and when purple is selected, though the color is the same as when red is selected, so it seems it is stuck on one color only. Can anyone suggest anything at all I might try. I had a poke around in terminal emulator in /sys/class/leds or whatever it was to no avail.

Is my notification led dead? Seems odd, thought they were supposed to live forever.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuzzyDee:
Figured I would give this one one last try. Anyone have any idea at all? Issue has persisted across multiple roms. I think its stuffed :(

HI guys, im new to this so please bare with me, im all new to this, ive just become an android fan after moving from the iphone, i recieved my HTC desire hd yesterday from 3....ok frankly i have no clue on how to remove the 3 logo that comes with it, it makes the phone really slow to start up...

i need to remove it, so ill go step at a time, im afraid to start using the phone, install apps and evrything, set up email accounts, use htc sense incase i have to remove everything again or format it....ive been trying to read on numerous forums and trying to get used to the terms u guys use...but im still a little confused as i cant seem to find anyone here mentioning how to remove the 3 logo from scratch....

I would like the original htc firmware once ive got rid of the logo, well yes for now since i dont know much about the customs Roms yet....so was wondering ill do things slowly, if i can remove the 3 logo and install an htc original firmware....anytime in the future could i install a custom one or would i have to delete all the games, and information from the phone evrytime i choose to install a custom ROM....

So in summary could someone please explain step by step how i can remove the logo...oh and people here were mentioning something about RUUs, what are they...no idea....please if u could help, would be great...Im kinda confused wat a goldcard is 2...its all new to me so please be paient

Kind Regards, B, phone is awesome by the way
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Read the downgrade guide in dev subforum, it is in the sticky roll up thread. That removes your logo and gives you HTC WWE software. You have to make a goldcard, it is basically a card that gives you some additional rights to flash stuff.

I know this is not the correct forum to post this in, but I know it will get attention here. Sorry if this bothers you.

I have done a search for the gallery application that comes with the Galaxy Tab, but only came up with another thread looking for it at well. It hasnt been updated in months so I thought I'd make a new one.

Can somebody please upload their stock Gallery application. I do not know if it matters, but I have the Sprint model.

Thank you very much!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadds1:
I just received my got tablet via the woot deal. Have installed vegan, and all is well. One thing I cannot figure out is, how can I stream videos stored on a shared network drive to my g tablet? I have windows 7 on the pc. I can see the files using File Expert, but they will not stream. It seems like this should be a pretty straight forward task, but so far I have not found the right app. 90% of the files I would like to play are in .avi format. I have tried several media players, and none I have tried give me an option to view files on my network. Thanks for any tips!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diomark:
Try playon. Bonus is it would alllow you to stream them from anywhere.

Bad part is the quality won't be as good as natively playing the file..

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
I like qloud. It's free and allows playing across the Internet as well as across a local network.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diomark:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadds1:
Thanks for the suggestions.

I actually already have Playon, and use it to stream Hulu & Netflix content. I did not see an option to stream files I have stored locally on my network though. I'm at work, so cannot check it out now, but I will look for this option when I get home.

I will look into Qloud also.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
I too would like to stream media from my network shares. Idc about HD content so much, but being able to watch stuff on the tab when I'm not at my desk would be nice.

Is there a way to do this without putting a media server program on the computer end of things?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garry2005:
Free version of TVersity Media Server (from tversity.com) along with free MoBo player from android market do the job well. For some reason, sound volume is low.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You can use network shares using CIFS. Look for CIFSManager in the market.

It's a little cumbersome to setup if you aren't very familiar with networking, but very doable.

You will need a kernel that supports CIFS (Vegan 5.11 might - can't remember). Latest TNTL (4.4) does, but will likely not in the future. The stock kernel does not.

You can look in the dev section for Clemsyns and Pershoot's kernels. Note that Pershoot uses a modular approach, so you have to follow the instructions on downloading and adding the CIFS module. Clemsyn's should 'Flash and Play' :)

As for media player, I had trouble playing mpg's. I used Rockplayer Lite from the market and it was able to play them
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix84118:
Other than the CIFS route, I think every other solution requires something on the 'server' end. I have a Windows XP VM set up on my mythtv box for this purpose.

Here's a list of what I've tried:

Zumocast (works great on gf's iPhone, unfortunately no Android client yet, may work in a browser with flash, I couldn't get it with stock AOSP browser though)

Orb Live (couldn't get it to work)

AndrOrb (uses same Orb server, had mixed results)

PlayOn (works great for Amazon Prime, but had mixed results with local media. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, although it is beta)

The following use VLC as a backend, so all have the same problem for me which is most of my mkv's are garbled (odd, since they play fine on the desktop):

VLC Direct

VLC Stream and Convert

Androstream (seems the best of the 3 as far as interface/reliability)

For this platform, I've been disappointed at android's ability (or inability) to reliably stream video (I wish audiogalaxy did video, that works PERFECTLY), yet the iOS platform has it working perfectly (even without RTSP support), not that I'm knocking Apple (not a fan either), it just seems their stuff "just works".
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadds1:
Sorry for the delay on the update. I first setup playon to steam from my local network, it worked well, but I hated the file navigation.

Next I tried qloud, installed the server on my pc and was up and running in minutes. It is extremely simple and works pretty well. I do get some occasional pixelation on sd video, but its not to bad, didn't even try hd because I'm sure the results wouldn't be good. Thanks for the tips.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo989:
Definitely QLOUD is the way to go.

setup is quick, and the video playback is good, everything is in sync.

i love the XDA community

+1CIFS

It works perfect to mount all your network shares as local on your tab. The tab then treats all shared files as if they were on the tab. This includes streaming movies, audio, and ebooks, viewing pictures and editing docs. Apks stored on the network install as well. Works with VPN as well to have (slow) access from anywhere to home network.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
I am fairly new to all this, and i got it working without any problems. I am running TNT Lite 4.4. I assume you know about windows sharing and how to enable it on your other computer. Also you need to be rooted on the gtab.

1. Install cifsmanager from market.

2. Bring up cifsmanager and Settings -> "Add New Share". You will have to have to give superuser permission to cifsmanager when it asks for it.

3. Fill in the new share details. The first entry should look like

192.168.1.160/Movies where 192.168.1.160 is the LAN ip of your windows computer, and Movies is the name of the windows file share on it. It will automatically fill up the mount point to be /mnt/cifs/Movies.

4. Fill in username password for the windows machine. Leave options empty.

5. Save share, and you will see an entry inside cifsmanager.

The above steps need to be done just once per share.

6. Click on the share entry and it will try to mount it. If it succeeds the button on the right turns green. Long press will bring up a menu with "Unmount" on it when u want to unmount.

Now you can access /mnt/cifs/Movies. I like ES File Explorer (free from the market) instead of iFileManager to browse files as it lets me play movie files on a player of my choice. I use RockPlayer Lite as a player.

Caveats: I read somewhere that with the stock launcher you have one shot of correctly entering the share details. If you use Launcher Pro this is not a problem. Note that there is not transcoding going on on the windows side. So if you are on slow wifi you might see stalls.

And you can get to any files, not just movies.

hope this helps

Most cifs programs require the gtab to buffer the entire video before it will play any large .avi files.

I have been using Gmote on my gtab with vegan 5.1.1 now for 2 months with no problems at all. It says it doesn't work with avi files but I've never had a problem with them.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlaciv12:
Username and password for the admin account on the windows machine? I don't have a password set up as it is a HTPC with all of our moveis and recorded TV. I keep getting that the mount has failed due to I/O error.

Or is it looking for the password to enter the family group?

BTW, thanks for the walk through. I always hated dealing with this kind of Windows BS but glad Windows has this ability.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
.. Of the user owning the share, in your case the admin account.

Check if it works if you set a admin password on your HTPC (and Cifsmanager). Maybe there is a CifsManager limitation on empty passwords.

There are ways I think to auto login into a machine with a password, in case you don't want to type a password out of sleep and/or reboot.

This is unnecessary, just go to CR_Mod or NB_Mod, delete the bloatware and flash. Flash app2sd as well and you got amazing ROM. I am moving back to official froyo and surprisingly, it's great. Not flashy but stable.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jonnycat26:
What bloatware can be safely deleted? I was under the impression that touching any of the sense stuff could render the whole device unstable.

I want to try this cuz its on .15 not .13 like NB (NBMod its awesome ROM,Dayly driver! ;) )
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
Just simply delete any soft that you can install from market, other than that, mytouch music, T-Mobile stuffs...You can save like 20MB. However, if you already partitioned your sdcard and flash app2sd, then you can leave them there. Everything is on SDcard and you have 120Mb on internal storage.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bscythe:
Here is my sad story.....dropped the T-bolt for the first time and the digitizer cracked (had it in a case even). So I ordered a new one from repairs universe and they advertised that it would come with a guide. It did not, but the digitizer arrived quickly. So being an electrical engineer I decided that I could probably do it anyway.

I managed to get it apart and learn the hard way about a few things not to do. I manged to crack the LCD :-( I looked an no one has them :-(

My model used a Sharp lq043y1dx04 according to the sticker.

Anyway, I have figured out how to take the T-Bolt apart and figured that while I wait for a new LCD to become available I could at least share some pictures with the community. Being a new poster though, how would you suggest posting pictures?

***Update - photos are here, let me know if there are any that you would like to see better: s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/bscythe/ ***

Finally, I do not recommend anyone try this....you need to remove the LCD in order to replace the digitizer. The LCD is double sticky taped to a metal tray. To get the two apart you must do a lot of prying which can destroy the fragile LCD. If you are going to try it, I'd recommend a 4" wide razor used for scraping windows to insert along side the LCD to use to pry with. Be careful not to cut the ribbons though!

I was able to get a new one from work (thank goodness for the large number of available upgrades on our account), but still plan to finish fixing this one when the LCDs become available. Putting it back together will be the easy part....I'll take better pictures during the process too.

Well I dropped mine too and the digitizer is cracked bad. It still works and tape is holding it all in place but I need to get it fixed. I have taken apart laptops and fixed them and am a mr fixit in many departments, so I hope I can do it without cracking the lcd. I ordered the digitizer and am hoping to get some tips from you. Is there any way you put a step by step together that could guide me through this process? I would greatly greatly appreciate it.

I looked at the pics and with the beveled edges of the tray it seems to be very hard to separate the lcd from the tray with a flat blade. Does the LCD have to be detached from the tray? Also, since the bottom part of the case is a molded piece do the internals slide up and out?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Do iPad accessories (cases and covers specifically) fit the gtab? I was looking at this:

I can't post an outside link yet but slickdeals has a $5 case for the ipad and I like it :)

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinetyWt:
iPad is:

Use manage applications to delete all data for market, maps and youtube. Re-flash Dexter's 1.3 ROM, don't apply the patch, wipe dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to do factory reset (wipe data and cache).
