You are right pyro... I think Viewsonic is setting the standard for what the average person is willing to pay for a tablet. These manufacturers have to realize that you can buy a laptop for $600 these days and if you want someone to adopt a new technology, there has to be be incentive. I believe the incentive Viewsonic provides is a sub $300 price tag.

This article has some very good points, including that people are buying this tablet because of word of mouth suggestions. This really is a powerful message to Apple and Motorola. If they want to sell product, they can't do it based on their brand names alone....

The only part I didn't like about the article is when she is describing the tablet features... sounded like a Viewsonic rep.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
to combine most of the posts on this thread, it would appear that this may be an instance of a corporate catch 22. Nvidea wants the honycomb code to proceed with their vantana and future projects. VS wants Nvidea to release their drivers for at least GB. BUT, VS doesn't have the consent to run any direct Google access. Could there possibly be a situation where Nvidea refuses to release their drivers, because Google perhaps told that that if they do, they won't provide their code?

I mean, realistically, look at it From Google's perspective. The companies that they approve are probably paying them quite a premium for use of the app market as standard. As long as the Gtab is consistantly updated, and the fine devs here are finding ways to get what VS wasn't able to, Google will lose money. Why would somebody pay the premium prices to Motorla, Asus, etc, when all they need to do is get a Gtab, flash it, and have all the same goodies as the more expensive tablets.

In a sense, the fact that the devs here are as good as they are, might indirectly be preventing VS/Nvidea from being able to relase the updates that we need...

With that said...I'm happy with my Gtablet the way it is, and I owe all of that to the devs on this site. a big thank you to all of them for thinking outside the brick, and providing us with the tools needed to make this affordable hardware live up to it's current potential. If and when the codes/drivers are released, or reverse engineered, the devs on here will be chomping at the bit to play around with them.

I have faith that my Gtab will last me quite a while.
[G Tablet General] tineras:
Let's just hope they follow through. It's very easy for a big company to move on to bigger and better things.
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
Personally, I dont understand any of this. The MAIN reasons why I chose the GTab was the Hardware, and the Price (distant second). Even if/when nVidia releases their Tegra 3 (believe they said '11 holidays?), the potential of this device should propose little to no issues with running any android OS. As far as outselling the Ipad/2, Android actually passed Apple officially at the end of last year in sales (woohoo!) and in my mind, Apple doesnt and never will hold a candle to the functionality of Android.

With price in regards to buying a laptop, this isnt necessarily a valid argument since you can buy notebooks (NOT netbooks) for $300, in-store prices mind you. Of course buying a $300 laptop right now doesnt seem practical (atleast not to me and I would think majority of this community).

But what confuses me the most is the potential of this VS product, and their overwhelming ignorance to it. In the world of tablets, I really feel that the GTab was a revolutionary product and its hardware components shows (atleast at this time) no bounds to what it can handle. I dont know if its nVidia, Google, VS, or a combination of all the above holding development back, but it only makes sense that moving forward would be the better decision, financially speaking. I say this solely basing it on the Gtab's current popularity on the cyber market shelves and in communities like our lovely abode :)

Let it be known, I have no business/financial sense and apologize for making any naive or derogatory statements, but I cant help it since my common sense alarm atm is off the charts. Just with VS popping their cherry in the tablet world with a best selling success of a product and nVidia being able to put their name on yet another powerhouse of goodness, it just makes sense...right? Thats my rant for the day :D

In the Q&A area under the Honeycomb thread Jerdog says:

"UPDATE 3/18/11 - We now have access to the Gingerbread libs needed for hardware acceleration, but in order to use them a complete rework of the github repo is required and a year's worth of merges and cleanups would need to be done. Slow going and no ETA."
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
According to a dev at cyanogen on IRC this am. Hardware acceleration is fixed in Gingerbread but some audio patches need to be put in. Should have an update soon for cm7 which means gojimi as well since he builds from cm source.

ITS NOT FIXED YET!!!!!.....it is pending however
[G Tablet General] crutzulee:
Thanks thebadfrog, that is awsome news coming from a credible source! Video playback is important to me and this has been the one thing holding me back from trying any of the ginger based roms.

I can't wait!
[G Tablet General] whiplash13:
I agree completely, as this is why I was holding off as well. Awesome news.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Any news is good news just as long as it's progress. Thanks thegoodfrog. haha
[G Tablet General] pagantek:
Agreed! I'm excited to see what boils out of the cooker by the very talented devs. I've tried a few of the GB roms and they look great, ran super fast, just didn't have that video playback that I crave.
[G Tablet General] whiplash13:
Do you or any of the other developers know if this is days, weeks or months away from reality?
[G Tablet General] dzasta:
As of right now, they got flash (720p) and 3PG to hardware decode. Some people are having success running different formats using vplayer as well but has not been confirmed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizon71:
I have a Gtablet in which I was able to install and use NVFlash. I used the recommended driver for this process and it works perfectly. Now here is my new problem / challenge. I am trying to learn SDK ADB. As parts of the procedures, I have to install the Google USB driver to have the device recognized as an android device (Or something in that line as per the instructions). Here are the problems:

1.) My Gtab show on the device manager as a storage device and a portable device with the same drive letter as the storage device

2.) I'vr tried removing the NVflash USB driver, but it does not uninstall. Every time I re-connect the device it re-install the driver and goes back to problem 1.)

3.) I used (USBdeview) to try and remove the device and the driver from my win 7 x64 but it just don't uninstall or stop the decive or anything.

4.) I tried updating the driver of the gtab (As in problem 1.)) and it says that the current driver is the most appropriate for the device. And goes back to problem 1.)

In other words..... I am tied up with the NVFlash driver (Tegra I beleive, which is the one described on the NVFlash How to). I am trying to SDK ADB, but it will not allow me to connect cause the Gtab is not recognized as an Android device, but as a storage device or nvidia tegra when in APX mode (I beleive it called).

which step am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Please excuse my lack of technical lingo.....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxalz:
Did you read the sticky message: adb for your gtab (windows) in the general section?

I had the same problem, except I'm using windows XP. The storage device is not the driver to uninstall. Device manager never showed me any other drivers relating to the gTab.

Using USBDeview I was able to see a different driver (can remember was it was called exactly), uninstalled then reinstalled using the usb driver I downloaded from google and everything was fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I am traveling down to watch the Space Shuttle take off, and planning on taking pics. Problem is, I will be at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center, and won't be able to see it lift off. Will see it only after it clears trees.

May be overkill, but I'm wanting to maximize the sort amount of picture opportunity time. I would like to determine the Lat/Long of the pad (Not sure if I can do that or how), and have a compass app that could point to that location. That way I can have the camera and tripod setup and ready at least pointing halfway accurately.

Any suggestions on app/process to do that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I guess no luck.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinak:
Try GPS status. I know you can put a marker in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espaa Valorum:
Last time I was there, the pad was a ways past the entrance of the space center, and then a couple of miles to the left. So if you come up on the center, with the center on your right, the pad will be roughly at your 10 or 11 o'clock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveyBB:
Google Maps?

Why not just use Google Maps? In compass mode with GPS on (if yours works) it will show your "exact" position and the arrow will show where you are pointed. You should be able to tell where the pad is from the map view, or possible better in the satellite view mode, and point yourself right at it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Picsman:
I have never tested this on my own phone. It does works with my Garmin GPS attached to my laptop.

You can enter longitude and latitude directly to the Google Maps search bar using decimal notation, e.g., 37.771008, -122.41175. You can then save that location with a star on the map (or, at least take that information with you to Kennedy).

See this: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=18539

Determine the longitude and latitude of the launch pad before you go and save that location. Near launch time get a fix on your current location then turn until you can get a bearing on the launch pad.

All this aside, the chances are everyone there will be looking in the right direction well before the rocket lifts off.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
1 do these come shipped with a screen protector installed ? Mind looks like it may have one on.

2 what's the little led above the s go sony for ?

Thanks !
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
1. Many people think it comes pre-installed with a screenprotector yes, but I haven't heard of a succesfull attempt to get it off.

2. It's not a led, probably a sensro that detects if your head is close to your face so it can turn off the (touch)screen when making a call. Wouldn't want to hang up a call with your cheek :p
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
at least most UK ones come with pre-installed screen protectors and then a spare one in the box. but i know my cousins across the channel dont have it! which is real sneaky of sony ericcson imo.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
I'm Dutch and indeed we didn't get an extra screen protector in the box but it deed seem to come pre-installed with one.
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
Yeah my UK Play came with a pre-installed screen protector and an extra one in the box.

one is a light the other proximity sensor above the Sony Ericsson on front.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...rightortoodarkdisplay/xperia-play?cc=is&lc=is
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
If you hold your finger over the sensor above the n at the end of sony ericson you can see your screen dimming so that must be the light sensor, making the red one above the s of Sony the proximity sensor.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
the red one above the "s" is the inner camera.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlmueller:
I currently have RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but since I have a lot of problems with my Leo with that ROM (e.g. sometimes it won't charge at all until I soft-reset it, some notifications like for example PockeTwit are not working, WiFi doesn't work probably most of the times even when I'm just a few foot steps away from the access point I'm connecting to, the phone suddenly doesn't recognize the MicroSD card anymore after a Soft-Reset) I wonder if my phone's hardware is actually broken or if it might be just a problem with the ROM.

Based on my experiences with other HTC phones I previously had (Touch 2, Touch Diamond 2) I think that with HTC the operator branded ROMs are better optimized and tested when it comes to stability and performances than the generic unbranded (retail) ones.

So now I'm looking for an operator branded WWE ROM for my European 512Leo. I would go with the latest O2 ROM but unfortunately that is for the UK and so it has that stupid EU imposed volume capp and I really don't want that. Of course the T-Mobile US ROM won't work on my 512Leo so the only alternative I could think about is the Telstra Australia ROM but unfortunately that is pretty old :(

So does anybody know any other official branded Non-EU WWE stock ROMs I could try or is that Telstra one really the only one for my "special needs"

Thanks

Hi

I've made an app a while ago (8 months ago), now, i made an update. but i cant release it :( it says i need the same certificate file.

Is there any way to retrieve it using the old applications apk?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
No! This uses a public/private key system so if you lose your private key, you're screwed.

Been there, done that (on TWO apps). You are indeed TOAST. I feel your pain :)
[Android Software Development] XabdullahX:
Auch. Thanks guys.

Now my question is. Can i create an identical keystore as the other one to fake it inside market?

I see jarsigner is telling me this about the original app:

X.509, CN=Abdullah Gheith, O=Abdullah Gheith, L=Denmark, C=45

[certificate is valid from 22-05-10 01:22 to 14-05-40 01:22]

Wouldnt it be possible to fake these information inside the new keystore somehow, maybe change date and stuff.. i know the password used for the original keystore

While waiting for your reply i am trying it ^^ . updating here when i find something out.

EDIT: Okay, nevermind. I am the only one naive enough to think that this will work, even though the file i newly created showed me this certificate:

X.509, CN=Abdullah Gheith, O=Abdullah Gheith, L=Denmark, C=45

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santokiparque:
I'm really interested in this also and feel the same way as the OP. Im looking to buy the transformer or the xoom but im have second thoughts because of GarageBand. I love Honeycomb more than iOS and I really don't want to get an ipad because of 1 app (nothing else lures me to the ipad) but do you think there's ever going to be an equivalent to GarageBand?

I'm guessing Garageband-esque apps are not optimal for phones so nobody has really invested much into it b4 honeycomb came out, but do you think big companies like Avid and Sony or FLStudio invest in an app? Those are professional level companies and therefore their products are really expensive, but I don't see any other companies going into this market.

If you guys have any other insight or ideas let me know, this is a real killer. I would love something simple and intuitive exactly like GarageBand to have around with my tab and dabble ideas in. Sometimes I feel like the reason for Ipads success is because of the creative apps it has and hopefully the honeycomb devs can do the same.
