Hi!

I've got a friend with a I9000, and she just started to get this problem with the proximity sensor. When she makes/recieves calls, the screen won't turn off.

Hi folks,

my wife has a GT540 with V20a and has gotten a new car (SEAT) these days.

We are not able to connect the LG with the car. We get only a message that a problem occured after trying to connect.

My Galaxy S can connect to her car, and her LG can connect to my car. The only combination not working is unfortunately her mobile with her car.

Any hints to solve it?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
Okay, I was going to hold off to pick up a Motorola Xoom within a few weeks but on a whim, I saw the Viewsonic G-Tablet for $299.99 at the local Office Depot. Okay I thought then I could live with its "defective" display and unwieldy weight/shape. For me, it actually resembled the Xoom! At least a less expensive version of it.

Indeed, for me the XDA support for ROM (and hopefully Honeycomb 3.0 port) as well as its Tegra chip were the deciding factors to pick up the GTab this morning.

I will be charging it up later after dinner with my stepdad and then installing Clockwork Mod then a ROM of my choice. I also will be relating my adventures here a poor man's (hacker's) Xoom. And I post that I can regret not getting a Sprint Galaxy Tab. So convince me :)

More adventures to come... any advice here now? :confused::cool:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes.

Don't hold your breathe on HoneyComb. And don't post asking where it is :)

No Honeycreams until full AOSP released from google. 'Nuff said.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberpyr8:
I just picked up the G-Tab at lunch today and I have Vegan running now. My first impressions of it are good. It is a little heavier than I thought it would be but I didn't buy it for the weight as much as I did to not have to burn my legs with my old Acer laptop. I see the problems with the screens that everyone complains about but I am finding that if you 1. have it laying flat it is worse and 2. have a black background it looks bad. I plan on using this at an angle and I am glad to be able to use more colors than my Vibrant (black on the phone for battery savings purposes). It is snappy and the wifi antenna is pretty strong. I was able to play my movies that I ripped for the Vibrant and they look great on the screen. I ripped them down at a high level and large screen aspect.

I was like you and debating between the different tablets out there but I think I am going to be happy with this device. The more I read the more I kept coming back to it thinking it was a better device except for the stock software which was easy to replace. I wanted the Samsung 7" tablet when they came out but after seeing this next to it there wasn't any hesitation for me. And for me personally Honeycomb isn't a big selling point. I have been running HC on an SDK emulator and I am not impressed with it enough to spend an extra $200-300.

I hope you like yours, I am happy so far.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I still don't understand this complaint about the weight that I've been seeing all over the internets. It is .22 lb more than the ipad. The ipad weighs 1.33 lb and the gtab weighs 1.55 lb.

If 1.55 lb is too heavy, return it and buy yourself an ipad. Enough said.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbbzilla:
As for the galaxy tab it is nice and I prefer the 7" form factor but you have to buy into a contract-no thanks and the galaxy has a single core chip. It costs about $50-85 or in my case $100 more if you are paying Ca tax. The gtab has better specs and better battery life.

The Xoom is over $300 more and as much as I would like to have 3.0 I am not sure it does anything our tabs can't already do. Lets face it we all want hc and in time it will makes its way to this device. Prices are dipping down because a slew of new tabs will be coming out around June or so and I don't think any of them will cost $300!

The screen is pretty nice coming from an elocity a7, now ipad, galaxy have nicer screens and so does the xoom but I really do not see a big problem with this one. I think it looks great. Weight is not a big issue either. It is a poind and a half, we arr not talling heavy. I just wish it was easier to type with my thumbs like my elocity. The devs here have createdvseveral awesome roms that make this device fly. Other than limits of froyo being a phone os this is a great tab. I think I see why apple is so succesful because they only support two devices which means a lot more continuity in the user experience. However, I value freedom and choice so the price you pay is some apps not working. In a year or so when hc has been out and second and third gen hc devices are out the user experience will be very different than now. Thay said the gtab is pretty sweet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
Going to make this review rather short. Just got this tablet this morning at a sweet song price. I went to XDA Developers and followed the directions to get rid of the Tap N Tap interface here at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 and added Clockwork Mod to allow for custom ROM's on this device. After a tad bit of work eliminating the default interface, then I proceeded to install the Notion Ink Adam ROM found here at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928152 which allows for the Eden interface that runs very smoothly for the most part.

Everything is much better now. The device is a tad bit heavier but it's basically so similar to the Wi-Fi version of the Xoom that in many ways this is a developer's device.

I must recommend this device and I think that I may consider getting a second one because there is no locked bootloader to prevent us from making more ROM. Now it's a matter of waiting for Honeycomb to arrive or maybe even a Xoom port someday! :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadgetBoySI:
Mine arrived last Thursday but I was in Vegas for the extended weekend. Ordered it from TigerDirect for $307 shipped. Came home Monday night, kissed the wife and grabbed the gTab and started playing around with it (truth be told she opened it while I was gone and was teasing me about the fact that she was messing with it before I did).

Anyway, I really liked the stock home screen with the icons across the bottom and the weather display, etc. I have an automated home with touch screens around the house, so I was immediately thinking about how I could incorporate several of these around the house for lighting, etc... However, as much as I liked the screen, I found the performance to be not-so-hot.

I followed the instructions for CWM and TnT on Wednesday night and the gTab went from a purchase that I was moderately pleased with to contemplating how long it will be until I purchase a second one :). For me, there was a noticeable change in speed.

I have a HTC Evo and was a bit nervous about rooting the phone, but I think I will need to now in order to take advantage of the mobile hotspot.

I think the battery life it ok. I'm currently playing a video on it to see how it eats the battery. I want to be able to use the tablet on flights, and need to know how many movies I can play on it on a single charge. Once I beat it up a little more I will have a better understanding of how much time I will get out of a charge.

I don't own an iPad (I'm just not into the whole Apple thing), but I have to say that I would have no problem showing this off to any of my friends that have iPads. For me, not having to spend $600 plus a data plan was a plus for me. The unit will primarily be used in my house, and when I am out I will be tethering it to my phone so I don't see the need for a unit with a data plan.

I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy, but I felt that the 7" screen was just not enough real estate for me.

Now I need to buy a case and a screen protector for this think before it gets scratched up.

In the end, I am very pleased with my purchase.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
Wow, tonight was an experience as I was hanging around the Apple Store (Gateway) and found out that people thought that I was dragging around the Motorola Xoom. That must be a really good mix up. The confusion suggests that people do confuse the Xoom with the GTab.

I will have some comparison pictures later on in this thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villaXdaDev:
My G Tablet Experience

I'm new to the tablet thing. I don't own a smartphone so this is the first time I bought a non Windows PC device. $280 on woot seemed a lot better than dropping $600+ bucks on an iPad to see if a tablet would work out well for me.

The first thing that immediately struck me was fingerprints. I know it was going to be inevitable, but I just can't believe how dirty the screen gets after a normal browsing section. Because it's new, I'm always wiping the screen with a microfiber towel to keep it looking clean. I know that there's that Rain-X solution but I'm ordering a screen protector to reduce smudges.

The other thing I found is how awkward it is to hold. Because of the decreased view angles I need to hold it up at a very precise angle. It's too large to hold in one hand and my one hand starts to cramp after a while from holding it up. Using it in portrait mode is a little better since I can grasp it with two hands and just use my thumbs to scroll and navigate. But there are some things I just can't do very well in portrait mode. I just ordered a new case with the integrated kick stand and keyboard which should help propping it up. I'm looking forward to using it as a very capable little netbook.

Other than that, this is a cool little device. I installed Vegan and it seems to do everything I want. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a normal mpg movie to play on it. I must not be using the correct encoding since I select the file in the explorer and the screen just goes black. I do not see any errors, just a black screen. So I need to play around with it some more because I really would like to watch movies on my commute.

This thing definitely holds its own against other tablets twice the price. I'm glad I took the gamble to try it out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steng:
I have a very similar experience.

I am able to play movies encoded in mp4 format. I believe the video comes with the tablet is in mp4 as well.

Tried a couple of avi file that had sound comes through but has gobbled video.

Have not try any quick time mov files yet.

I think fingerprint is unavoidable with touch tablets. My impression of Ipad is the same, gets smodged quick and the screen is also too reflective. Probably just to a lesser degree than the GTablet. Please post back on your screen protector experience.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villaXdaDev:
Video Playback Working

Bingo. I encoded the movie using the "iPad" setting in Handbrake and that created a playable file. I just opened up the file explorer and played the .m4v file right off the thumb drive. I'm loving this mighty tablet a little more every day.

I received my tablet a couple weeks ago and I have flashed Harmony Gingerbread rom onto it. I have been very very happy with it so far but I have noticed one thing. The alarm clock is not working correctly.

I have the alarm clock programmed for 630AM in and I put my G Tablet onto the malata dock. Like normal after a short amount of time the screen will turn off. However when 630AM rolls around my alarm on my tablet wont go off. (I have my archos 70 alarm clock set just in case the alarm on the G Tab didn't work) When I hit the power button on my G Tab the screen comes up and then the alarm will start going off (however many mins later than 6:30am)

It seems as if the alarm clock does not force the G Tablet out of sleep mode. Where on my Archos 70 the alarm does force the tablet out of sleep mode.

Has anybody else had issue with this and/or know a fix for this?

Thanks,

Aawa

I use Calkulin's ROM with pershoot's kernel. I have my email set to check every 5 minutes, and wifi set to never sleep. I don't know if this helps keep the tab awake or not (results in about a 10% loss of battery overnight), but I tested the alarm for two mornings and both times it went off.

I wouldn't rely on it though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttlycnfuzd:
I know that there has been issues with people having sleep issues with the dock. Try taking your tab out of the dock and see if that will allow the alarm to go off as it should.

Other than that, make sure that you are on the latest kernel by which ever kernel dev you prefer, as they are both continually updating with the latest-greatest...

I solved my problem

Since reading all the posts here that people were leaning towards wifi being the problem I remembered seeing wifi setting having something called wifi behavior under advanced settings, while I was poking around my new tablet. I went to it and there is an option where you tell the wifi never to sleep. That seems to have done the trick. It has worked both plugged in and on battery. The battery drained from 75% to 65% from 10:30 last night to six this morning. Hope it helps

Just noticed I posted on the wrong thread. I meant to put it on the g tab won't. Wake after sleep thread but I guess. It could be a related issue.

Hi,

I did a backup of my ROM with ROM Manager, because I wanted to try and see the new 2.3 Gingerbread Cyanogenmod7. All was fine and well, i went to backup ROM and it backed up or so I thought (-.-'). I went and copy the backup from my SD card to my computer just and just in case also made a copy of my contacts (thank god for that).

Then I installed the new C7 2.3 ROM via ROM Manager and it asked me if I want to backup the ROM (which i already did) and to wipe data/cache. I checked the wipe data/cache and went on with the boot and everything. The installation was successfull and the C7 is great, but then i wanted to go back to my Rooted HTC Sense ROM.

I went back to ROM Manager and went for recover ROMs and did a recovery. Went the phone booted all my files, applications, sms's and every little thing was deleted.

Now my question is this, how is that possible, i made a backup BEFORE checking the wipe data/cache ?

Is there a way to get my data back ?? I still have the backup on my computer.
