[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phr057:
Thanks for this. When I read the article, it only mentioned hitting the volume button. It did not specify which one, so I assumed it was the (+) one still. I get the black screen on the GTab now, but I still cannot run the batch file.

I did use those drivers from the UK site. I extracted them from the folder, uninstalled the driver it tried to load and reinstalled with the provided. I also took a look around the NVidia Tegra Dev site to see if I could find them, I could not.

I wish it would have gone that smoothly! I was hoping to get the tablet, and 30 minutes later have the ROM up and running. I guess there always has to be some issues or these forums wouldn't exist!

The SD card thing, I actually could not get my External SD card to read while in CWR, that is a different story though; it should still work from an internal install.

I'll play around with it more I guess and see what I can do. I'm just very frustrated right now. I needed to take a little break, post on the forums and get some other view points!

Any more help is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

-Chris
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phr057:
I just wanted to mention that after a long night of trouble shooting, pulling hair and repeated attempts, I was able to finally get my stock android loaded back onto the GTab. From there I was able to get Vegan-Tab (Gingerbread) loaded. I must say though... I skipped a number of steps from the tutorial and it ended up working better that way.

Anyway, I appreciate the help and suggestions! A mod can close this thread!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haghdk:
Well... just in a way out of curiosity - what made you think "This is what is missing in my life" of the X10?

For me it was a friend who showed it to me and I tried it - and almost immediately fell in love with it. :)

Actually this is the second best phone I have owned. The best is the Nokia 3210 - that phone could withstand some serious beatings and "falling-out-of-the-pocket-onto-the-asphalt"!

I got conned into buying it by the rogers sales man, personally I would have liked to do some more research before buying the phone
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopers1222:
I never had a smartphone before my X10. In the past I had feature phones from Nokia, Motorola, and then I had a Sony Ericsson Z525 which I liked.

When the Sony Ericsson X1 first came out, I was impressed. I wanted it, but it was not offered in the United States though one of the major wireless carriers here, so I just kept on using my Z525. When the X2 came along, I thought it was unimpressive so I didn't think about that one much.

I saw videos of the X10 around the time of its release and was impressed by the custom UI so that started up my interest in the XPERIA X-series again. Then as Android became more and more popular, I kept hoping that it would make it to the U.S.. When it finally did, I picked one up for $50.00 (U.S.D.) and have been happy with it.

It's a nice evolutionary kind of product for me. I used to use a PlayStation Portable for mobile gaming, listening to music, and videos. And I used a Sony NAV-U for navigation. Now my X10 is my main portable music player, it's great for watching videos, I have some casual games installed on it, the camera is okay when I'm without my usual digital point-and-shoots, and the free Google Maps/Navigation can't be beat. It's also great to have around for general Web stuff.

The only bummer about the phone is being tied to AT&T:

Who will never offer firmware upgrades to their Android 1.6 X10 customers

Who has no inexpensive unlimited data plan

I'm using the SE generic global 2.1 firmware right now which suits me fine, and I'm patiently waiting for the 2.3 upgrade. The phone may no longer be a high-end device, but it's still sleek looking, has good build quality, performs decently, and does what I need it to do.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongscript:
It never came to me that I need to buy anything larger than Sonyericsson T303, and never came to my mind to buy an x10 mini, but when I was looking for a new phone, I see a couple of good review about the x10 mini, so I bought one. after a month or two I find it hard to surf the web because of its size, and my Post paid plan contract is ending soon, so I aquire the plan with x8, which is like mini, only larger. I get used to it.

So I was thinking, X10 mini have decent camera, but small in size, X8 have larger display but lousy camera, so I trade it for X10. I was thinking of HTC Desire HD, but finding it too big. I was also eyeing for defy but x10 screen is larger.

So there, X10's journey to my life is not that easy nor complicated. I think this is what we call destiny.. hahahaha...

I'm running the ew jet 005 rom as an x10i rooted and my wife is happily running generic 2.1a.

there a few reasons

Sony has good cameras.

Sony has good sound playback qualities.

the screen looked really good when i was playing with it at the shop too.

I hated my iphone 3g.

Its a really nice design.

It came unlocked.

It was easy to root and get rid of all the crap vodafone put on it and flash to a better rom.

I went in to buy an Iphone4 but the were sold out, so i asked for a samsung galaxy s but they were sold out! so i spotted the x10, picked it up, watched you tube made a call and flicked through the settings on the demo one and wanted it.

It should last until i convince myself i need the arc to watch movies with a very slightly larger pic, oh and hdmi out.

It was the weirdest thing. I was walking down the street minding my own business, when this dog barked. But this was no ordinary bark, it was the distinct bark of gouch dog found in the lost jungle of Garnda. My heart froze in fear and as I've started to run (we all know what happens if you don't run) I've looked to my left to see the unmistakable shadow of the gouch, and he was f##king huge.

What happened then you say? Well I'm glad you asked.

Right then, at that heart stopping point in time, ive bit the dust and stumbled to the ground.

Some say he doesn't exist, others say he's the devil himself. I, my good friends of the xda forums, can tell you right now, that coming face to face with this huge gouch of a beast is one of the scariest things you will ever live through.

Right then, as I'm rolling across the ground, hastily looking back to see my fate, I've realised this is it, I must buy an x10.

some people might think this is pure BS, I can tell you first hand that they are right. But that, my x10 companions, is the story of LJE and the x10.

noobs who r stuck at black screen have probably bricked there phones!!

today only i faced the same thing atleast from 10 different noobs with generally teh same problem..

ur solution will b that if u cannot do anything try to hard reset by pressing the key combinations thats probably written in phone manual..

if hard reset wont solve it then u have to use adb terminal and dats a lot of headache than u can handle!!
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
I don't think telling everyone in the Q&A section to NOT root their phone counts as helping or solving a problem. Calling everyone a noob doesn't solve anything either. Just saying.

And OP, best bet would be to check the thread for the root method & the forum for your device. If needed, post this in your device-specific Q&A forum. I'm not sure what you mean by black screen. Is this the splash screen (what you would normally see first when the device boots) or something else?
[General Questions and Answers] zeemar007:
bro i know that!!

u also dont have a clear answer! :D:p

the thing why i told some people not to root coz i feel from the info they r providing is insufficient which means they dont have dat much experience or idea of rooting!!!

i dont want them to brick their phone!!! let them have more ideas then they can do it!!

as for the poster plz dont try to do anything now without adequet knowledge of rooting.. ask urself why u need it!!

then go to ur particular phone's sub forum.. u will get a lot of help from dere!:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Often times menu popups (such as adding a widget to the homescreen) will just fade the screen to very dark. Pressing on the screen does indeed select something in the menu, so the menu is there; it just doesn't display on screen.

Sometimes scrolling in menus also doesn't work. The menu scrolls, but the image of the menu doesn't change. Then you select something and it actually does select something farther down the menu. Of course, it's impossible to select what you want because you can't read the options.

What is going on? Has anyone else experienced these issues?

I assume the only Milestone Cincinnati bell carries is the XT720 so it could only mean that when it says Milestone?

Official 2.2. would be nice. Though I'd love to see them add 2.3 by now since I do have 2.2 an official version would be good to fix some issues I assume (and it would be cool if they changed stuff like they did for the Droid X gingerbread update - status bar +UI improvements etc...).

Though hypothetically, if this did happen would the update only be for Cincinnati Bell users and the rest of us would have to get the benefits over here on XDA only?
