[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DKYang:
As far as I know, the iPad 2 isn't even customizable unless you jailbreak it while you can still customize Android via using other apps (free or paid). Anyways, I say just wait. We only know the basic specs of the device. Who knows if anything is going to be changed from now till June.

If you need a tablet now, then get the iPad 2. Once the Galaxy Tab comes out, you can decide to sell the iPad 2 or keep it. The iPad 2 will holds its value for couple of months as long as nothing bad happens to it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FrostByte1906:
Thanks - I appreciate the insight. I agee. I feel they are pretty close and it boils down to what I will do / what each OS enables me to do. The iPad is 9.7 but after holding the Xoom, I've decided I don't want anything bigger than the iPad. My ideal scenario is the 7 inch tab running Honeycomb but I'm very certain I'd be one of those folks who brick the device while trying to Flash.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blueman101:
ok that makes sense, I have a few friends who prefer the smaller 8.9 to the 10.1. My advise would be to wait and feel the GalaxyTab, because the Xoom was heavy which may have accounted for you prefer a smaller size. The Galaxy tab is lighter then the iPad so it might be better.

Also, the iPad uses some made up aspect ratio making it look square almost. This could be why the size thing is another issue. Because a screen should have never been that aspect ratio, other devices that comfort to more traditional ratios (ie the Galaxy and Xoom) tend to look much larger in the X direction.

Me personally, I prefer something a bit heavier, but thats just me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
4:3 isn't a made up aspect ratio

its basically what TV's were prior to HD widescreens and thus the "box" appearance... Some argue it's much better for web browsing and reading (which seems to be true) but movies always have to be letter boxed to fit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
4:3 is great for portrait mode. In landscape - not that much difference, you just have to put more things on the left or right, and less on the top and bottom of the screen. ;) Movies look better on 16:10 though. Photos - depends what aspect ratio your camera has. A4 PDFs - should be OK on 16:10, maybe even better than on 4:3. I still prefer 4:3 because I love portrait mode (not so much to choose iPad though - 1024x768 is less than 1280x800 in landscape and in portrait).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Well, if the amount of apps are important to you, I'd go with the iPad 2. If customization is more important the Galaxy Tab is the way to go.

But really, it's up to you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FrostByte1906:
Yeah - I hate to admit it but I'm not a power user. I'm mostly going to watch movies (Netflix, iTurnes), checking email, browsing the net, etc. Few apps I'd install are banking and household related. 99% sure I'd never flash a ROM or mod. I'll satisfy my Android fix with the Galaxy SII and check back when it's time to upgrade my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
If your watching movies go with the 8.9. The screen will be sooooooo much nicer.

Hello everyone,

first, i used the search button :cool: but had no luck to find a solution for my problem :(.

I have a BlueSparks v5 ROM installed but wanted to try trip's latest MIUI ROM (v1.0), so i flashed it at my .54 baseband but had no radio. so i flashed the .49 bb (from here) and the flashed the rom again but this time i had "Unknown baseband) in the info section beside the radio problem.

so i figured out that i better flash the whole 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW (from here) to have the bb problem corrected, but again im having the same.

at last i restored my backed up ROM till i get this problem solved, so any ideas guys?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
Hey all,

I just got a replacement g tab from Woot today and I charged it an turned it on....it is at version 3389 and I can not get it to update to 3588. I have wifi connected and can access the web, etc... I've tried rebooting 5 times now and have tried the manual updating in the app tray and it says its up to date with 3389. Any ideas what is going on? I'm hoping maybe just viewsonics site that supplies the updates is down but not sure how I can verify that. I'm really hoping I don't have another g tab with issues....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsu205:
Search for homebrew on the site here as it has all the stock ROMs
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintre:
I had the same issue with a replacement I got today. Just used the stock one from the Dev forum. Do not know what is going on. Probably just a down server.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Hmm... down update server? Could it be viewsonic is gearing up for its next OTA? Rumor has it pegged for arround this time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
Thanks for the fast replies. Do you think that this problem is not a hardware issue? I wouldn't think this is hardware related and lean toward a problem with viewsonics servers as we'll, but I don't want to keep this tablet if it has a issue..... I see the stock Rome when I search for homebrew so that's easy enough to flash if nobody thinks this tablet has any hardware problems.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Possibly a new udpdate? Wouldn't THAT be nice. :D

Time to test that theory! Going back to stock to see what happens with the OTA.....

EDIT: INTERESTING. I just dropped 2967 on mine (nvflash) and it says there's no update. That should not be the case. Methinks there's something going on.....

EDIT2: Nothing on 3588 stock either (no updates). But will leave my device that way, for now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshack4:
I just got 2 gtabs from woot today and both are doing the same thing, stuck at 3389 and will not update. Even tried volume + and power on. Did not help. Thought maybe was cuz I am in Canada.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
I guess the good news is it sounds like I don't have a hardware issue! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new update from VS.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idivorceyou:
so having not done an OTA update, can I still install Vegan 5.1?

just got my Gtab from woot. for some strange reason, I didnt't get the whole setup screen on plugging it in and turning it on, mor did I get notice of an OTA update after getting the wifi going.

can I go ahead and load Vegan 5.1 anyway with the 3389 on it?

also, but perhaps tangential to this thread, which Kernel if any should I install on the Vegan 5.1? Clemsyn? Pershoot?

after the Vegan is installed, will it do a setup all over again? I'd like that.

my first post!

thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
My guess is that everybody that got their Gtab today from the woot is trying to download the update and it might have crashed the viewsonic update servers. Guessing Viewsonic wasn't expecting thousands of peeps trying to download updates all on the same day and didn't prepare. Or..........I could be totally wrong and they are getting the server ready for a Honeycomb realease?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaffeesnob:
I think most of them were received last week, there shouldn't be a huge number of new users.

Barcod - did you have to send your old tab back first before woot send out the new one? I ordered a replacement and really hope it doesn't have the same sound issues.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
Nope, Woot sent me an advanced replacement and shipped it out the day they received my email about the audio problem. They were a pleasure to deal with. I still have the old tab to send back to them which they provided a shipping label for that as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentstatic:
This is pretty annoying, I cant even manually update using the thread located here.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Was that a Woot one or a Tiger Direct one? I would call VS Customer Service TODAY and ask them to please have them ask TapnTap Inc to fix the OTA updater ASAP. 2638 is probably the original firmware and it is NASTY bad. Buggy as all hell.

If they can't do anything, you should at least do a stock update via the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000.

3389 should be safe to use as a baseline.

I cant get the recovery firmware thing to work, (i am a noob at this)

I managed to get 2967 on but I didn't think it would work but it did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
That's our old homebrew one. You can use that command file with the newer zips on the link. Just rename the newer zip to "update.zip".

Given the number of new systems being shipped recently, this is pretty irresponsible of TapnTap and they really need to fix that ASAP. Their OTA updater is the ONLY "official" way to get updates, and it's been down since last night. :confused:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOMpooh170:
Greetings all!

Firstly, thank you to all you devs that have put so much time in creating such slick ROMs. Me and my not so EOL Eris greatly appreciate it!

My question involves a bluetooth headset and the proximity sensor. I've been searching for quite awhile for a solution but have yet to find one that involves the Eris. I also haven't found anyone else with this problem so maybe it's only me.

But anyway I'm using GSBv2.5, and when I'm connected to a call using my bluetooth headset the proximity sensor is disabled. So the screen will not turn off when I place the phone in my pocket, and when it finally times out and the screen turns off, I can only turn it back on using the END, which effectively ends the call. Is there any way to enable it, or is this currently being worked on?

I've also tried enabling the use of the trackball to wake the phone, but that doesn't seem to be working with my Eris.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmckenzie:
I have never heard of this feature, or admittedly, ever used a bluetooth headset.

Has it worked that way for you on other android phones before?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Yep, this is pretty standard with the non-stock ROMs. You can turn the display on by holding Vol-Up while pressing the call key without losing the call. (I think holding VolDn works as well.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOMpooh170:
Yes it has. I remember it working on the stock ROM before I started using the other ROMs. I also want to say it was working with xtrROM, but I'm not too sure.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOMpooh170:
Thank you, that's what I figured. I didn't know about the Vol/call combinations! The VolUp/Call combo works like a charm! Is there a key combo to turn the screen off? Maybe I can checkout the power widgets or something.

I've played around with switching between Bluetooth/Speaker/Neither and noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't work when I'm using either the bluetooth or the speaker for the call. But once I turn those off, the sensor works just fine. I'm thinking this is set in some configuration file, but I'm not sure which one. Any suggestions?

I rooted my NC and installed the new Phiremod V5.3 Rom.

It has a lock screen similar to this: tapa.tk/mu/63c98ca7-9299-1b0e.jpg but it doesn't stretch it. Instead it just places it on top of the wallpaper.

Is there anyway to make it into a regular lock screen?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaan kak:
Hey all, recently rooted my Hero to CM7 RC4 and I've noticed that it doesn't actually sleep, even when the screen is off. If I turn the screen off (to "sleep" it) for a minute, the up-time (in Status) also goes up by a minute. My battery life is also very poor and is likely a result of the phone never spooling down. Poking around the web, some people thought this was from the default SMS app, but this happened before I had ever sent a text (only received one.) I even installed handcent and used it for a bit, but the phone still doesn't sleep properly. Any ideas?

Have you gone into Spare Parts and checked Partial Wake?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaan kak:
I did, but it said the only appreciable lock was 3m 25s for Android System (all time.) Dialer was 4s all time. There are no stats for 'time since last boot' or 'time since last unplugged'; I recently rebooted and have the phone currently plugged in.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Do you use wi-fi, or 3G? Bad or good phone service? Stuff auto-syncing on a regular basis? By the way, pretty sure up-time just displays how long the device has been on, nothing to do with sleep time or anything.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaan kak:
Right now I have wi-fi off, with generally average phone service on 3G. Sometimes it dips down to 1 bar or reaches 4, but is usually 2-3.

I have the governor set to 'ondemand', with a min of ~176 and a max of ~714. The brightness is set to auto. I don't know if I have much stuff auto-syncing, is there a way to check if I do? I don't have very many apps installed - I just rooted this afternoon, and this is my first android phone so I'm trying to take it slow.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Pretty sure in Android, the end button defaults to sleep anyway, so I don't think that really accomplishes much. Maybe try turning off 3G when not using the phone actively? That will drain the battery a bit.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Yeah, you're right...uptime has nothing to do with sleeping.

To the OP...reboot the phone then let the phone run for about 1.5 - 2 hours or so without using it. Then go to Menu - Settings - About phone - Battery use. Then tap the graph at the top where it shows your time and compare your Awake time bar to your screen on time bar. They should be similar, with a bit more in the awake time depending on wat is set to sync.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
What radio are you using??? What kernel are you using??? Also try unckecking auto brightness. Also I think I read the ondemad governor has no sleep frequency,so if your clocked at 748 then your still at 748 when you hit the end button to sleep. Also there's no need to have the end button set to sleep in spare parts the rom should sleep on its on. lm not sure but I don't think the phone will sleep being on that governor. Try smartass or conservative and see if it sleeps then. Also make sure you have compatibility unchecked in spare parts. Also in settings under accounts&sync uncheck mobile data. That will need to be rechecked again to use your data services. Having it on all the time drains big time. Hope some of this helps. If not just post here or pm me and if I can help I will good luck

I am merely speaking from experience with no programming or dev experience, but I think ondemand actually does sleep. I use it at 176/729 and my awake and screen on is always similar.

Maybe I misunderstood him or didn't ask the question correctly. I'll send him a pm and see if he's in the mood to share some knowledge. I read that link you posted on aosp's thread, very helpful in understanding the kernels operations a bit better. But it didn't mention what those selected governors default to while sleeping. I mean how can I really know what frequency the kernel is currently at while its sleeping??? The min/max can be set with the default oc app. But not the off screen settings.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
the sleep would follow the governor design. Smartass caps at 352 and scales down to your min setting based on your input, interactive and ondemand scale differently... ondemand would scale down based on cpu load (app use) to your min, and interactive (input based) would scale down based on your input to your min. IMHO interactive and ondemand are the best. I use ondemand most of the time because I can set the min lower than interactive and still listen to music with the screen off, no choppiness. I do sometimes switch to 352 min interactive or 264 ondemand when I *think* my phone is being slow, lol.

Modified Hero
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
I don't know that I understand you... The whole point is that they scale based on conditions, so the actual freq would be changing constantly (but only to your min setting). The smartass gov is the only one with screen off/on specific freq - it caps to 352 screen off, and min is 528 screen on... I suppose there's a way you could monitor it using adb, maybe ddms, but it would be changing based on your current load or input, so you wouldn't really get much from it. Does that help?
