[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulc35:
No its ok....I'm just glad I decided to select the factory reset. Because there were many things going wrong that shouldn't have been..As far as angry birds being include, or not is not what really told me someone had set this tablet up because it didn't go through the normal process of step by step setup procedure.

I had several apps on the home screen, which when I reset it I had very few and no angry birds, but hey it worked and setup an account like a new tablet out of the box was suppose to..

So all is well. I'm just stating this isn't right if Amazon is doing this with returns.

Somebody had mine not knowing what they were doing that caused many problems...

Paul
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulc35:
did yours come with the inability to install basic apps like amazon app store app, or force close on everything you did. nothing would play correctly. Videos. I bet not. So whomever had their hands on this one did a little more than they were suppose to..

When new it asks you to set the time and if your account if a family and the names of the family, setup email, setup wireless in a certain order. My tablet didn't do that....any of that. It was like powering up somebody elses tablet without their email account or wifi.

Paul

Anyway all is good..

To others if you have one new out of the box and have a lot of problems..force closing of apps then I suggest you just do the factory reset. save you a lot of headache down the road
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radon_22:
Assuming you had the falling leaves live wallpaper, this is how they are currently shipped.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucasMN:
This is how they come. I had lots of apps FC right out of the box. As well as all the icons on the desktop and no 'new user' setup. This is normal as long as it had the plastic wrap on it and the actual unit looked untouched.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulc35:
ok this is normal and weird at the same time with the ( this is how they come live wallpaper and apps force closing), but the strange thing that everyone will have to agree on is the restore, or resetting of the tablet where e

verything is suppose to go back to the way it was out of the box. Live wallpaper and the installed apps like angry birds should have been there. Right? I mean if this is how they ship. No not on my tablet. i got aw blue background with clouds and only the basic apps, which is fine because with the system reset I didn't have anymore forced close apps and i was able to download and install amazon app store without problem and actually use it. thank u to everyone that commented
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuaross:
Mine was the same way when I got it... After I turned it off for the first time and back on, it gave me the "out of the box" setup screen. It does seem like Viewsonic would want to make a better impression for the user.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I wouldn't know -- about 10 minutes after I received it, I had already flashed a different ROM :) After reading the horror stories, I was not interested in even one minute of the stock experience.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Seems from my memory most of the ones from Woot.com came like this. Mine did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antsig30:
I got mine from Woot and it came with Angry Birds preinstalled. The worst thing is that I can't even play, it show a blank screen when I tried to run the application. Only when I update the ROM to 3588, the apps worked!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash_c4:
I have two gtablets and they both came pretty much the same way. Now you should be able to understand why the gtablet somewhat flopped when they were first released with software like this. I have kept one of them stock that my 5 year old daughter uses and mine has Cyanogenmod 7 on it and they both actually work well. Out of the box was pretty ugly though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulc35:
How do you flash or change the ROM?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gierso:
I bought 2 gtablets fromwoot and both came intheexact same state. Never felt used but both tablets hadthe exact test proceduredone even had the icons on the sameplace somaybe its a nandroid(or master pre rom) made tohave angrybirds preloaded

Any way both got rooted and rommed :)so i dont complain

Mine was the same. The packaging looked new, but the extra launcher on it meant it wasn't direct from the factory.

After a week of not being sure if I wanted to send it back, I found a rom I like, and am very happy with it.

Check out the subforum here in the gTablet called "Android Development." If you read the instructions and feel comfortable doing it, you gTab experience will be much better.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmunk:
Probably more of a routing issue than a rom issue. Is it new line if so is it ported? Is he calling from contact list? If so try deleting one and dial directly with all 10 digits. What message does he get or does it just drop without ringing. More info the better

[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
For those who have upgraded their radio to the new leak, do you think it is better or worse than the official radio?
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Worse. It keyed my car, impregnated my dog, and stole my wife.
[Thunderbolt General] ltbakken:
Thats weird. For me it got me a raise a work, bought me a new car, picked the winning lotto numbers and otherwise tends to my every need.

Note: all these results were only while the phone was still on the charger. fearful of that the new radio actually requires a gas powered generator to keep this up.
[Thunderbolt General] carycooke:
with old radio i use to get full bars at work but now it shows up 2 or 3 with six bar signal icon

I know you cant base it off that but now it seems to drop all signals more often

and when i use usb tethering now for some reason it runs at snail mail speeds

but i was going to give it as much of a chance as i could before flashing back but its not looking good for me anyways
[Thunderbolt General] mycomputerisjunk:
I have been running the new radio on my own ROM and it seems the same.

I would mention that this is original ROM from Verizon, not the new leak. This weekend I plan on installing the leaked RUU and trying that for a while.

Anyway, I do agree with adrynalyne, **** did key my car..
[Thunderbolt General] You.:
I've noticed no difference. Literally. My GPS is still broken and my battery life is still mediocre. How do you activate the "steal wife" feature?
[Thunderbolt General] mbohde:
For paid donations only sorry... :D
[Thunderbolt General] arelas:
Funny, after I installed it, my phone now runs on oxygen. It actually charges on my belt clip. Also, my GPS consistently can tell me where I'm going to be 20 minutes from now.
[Thunderbolt General] evolutioncsr:
I am running the new radio and Bamf 1.5 Debloat. I have not had any improvement in keeping 4G signal. I am in very strong coverage area most of the time and if I keep it on CDMA+LTE it will prefer CDMA. If I change it to LTE only it will grab 4G and keep it even if I switch back to CDMA+LTE. Just seems I should not have to do that.

Seems like Verizon is still having problems in my area with 4G if I even go near the border of 4G 1-2 blocks from it but still inside it drops 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] asenduk:
better battery life for me for sure sure but gps still sucks..

as far as signal, 4G signal in Houston has always been great so im not sure
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
I haven't noticed a bit of difference unfortunately.
[Thunderbolt General] ttran97:
GPS is a lot faster to lock on. 4G has always been stable for me, so I don't notice a difference there. Battery life seems to be about the same as before, but then again, my radio almost never switched over to 3G and that was a problem a lot of people were having on their phones, which drained battery like crazy.
[Thunderbolt General] fbm111:
No difference at all. So far.
[Thunderbolt General] calbruc:
Well, contrary to what everybody here seems to be experiencing (or not experiencing), the new radio has been an improvement for me.

The building I work in is pretty terrible, signal-wise. With the old radio, if I had the phone on CDMA + LTE, it would jump from 3G to 4G to 1X to no data all over the damn place. And the "no data" happened somewhat frequently, would last for a minute or two, and then kick back on. Kind of a pain if I was browsing web (while I should have been working).

But today, with the new radio, 4G was pretty much constant. I did see it drop out for a second here or there, but it resumed much more quickly and wasn't bouncing to 3G and 1X.

Only one day's worth of observation, but definitely seems to have helped here.

BAMF 1.5 Remix, if it matters.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
With the new radio and bamf my phone sucks. Battery has gone to hell in stadby (even with all data off). 4G doesn't even work now. I even tried going back to stock RUU and reflashing everthing from the new RUU. No dice.

I'm going back to stock radio and bamf 1.4. At lease everything worked there... I think the new radio is to blame. BAMF 1.5 was running great when I didn't have the most recent raido.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
my battery has gotten worse, and i cant send mms, signal has been about the same. GPS works better.

Edit : just flashed the new new radio and mms now works. We will see about battery.
[Thunderbolt General] jmiller98:
On perfect storm 1.3 and the new radio has shown some signal improvement, and bettery battery life. My gps locks on within a couple seconds.
[Thunderbolt General] SmokingPope:
Flashed new radio and BAMF Remix this morning. So far, I'd say it's been a pretty fair improvement. GPS is dramatically faster (I used to get no lock at all, now it takes maybe 30 seconds), 4G to 3G hand off seems smoother, and battery life seems reasonably improved though that may have more to do with the ROM + kernel than the radio.

I'd have to give it a few days to make a definitive call, but over a day's usage it's been a fairly solid improvement for me.
[Thunderbolt General] jasoninator:
I've had a fair improvement in GPS locks, and a noticeable increase in battery life. I have a feeling that at least some of these complaints are tied to not using the proper GPS app fix, not wiping battery stats, etc.

That being said, these leaks normally give some people headaches, which is why it's only a leak ;-)

Bolted!
[Thunderbolt General] seaway:
I am not sure why you would root, change radios, update kernels, etc... if the end result is that the things that work out of the box, stop working. What is it that you are looking for? I had an HD2 so I get it, and I have done the whole android thing, but what is the end game?
[Thunderbolt General] ddrj:
... a longer battery life?
[Thunderbolt General] Smok3d:
Change what you want or don't want on your phone? Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not with this post..
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
I must say the combination of the new radio along with Das BAMF 1.5 (running the Senseless version) my battery life is quite improved. Today I played roughly 2 hours of music over Bluetooth while checking my e-mail and Facebook a few times with 4G LTE on. My battery only dropped to 96%. On the previous radio something like this would of dropped my battery to around 80-85% or so at least.
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
Definitely noticed an improvement on my end, 4G stays constant and has a better signal, and it doesn't seem to drain battery as fast. Battery life in general still sucks @#&* however.
[Thunderbolt General] the cdogg:
I have no difference with the new radio. Granted I am not in a 4g area. But as for batt, gps, etc, I see nothing. My ocd though makes me flash every new thing that comes out for my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Jazi:
That's why mine keeps reporting me as "in bed"...explains a lot.
[Thunderbolt General] swaggerjacker:
My GPS is much better. Battery life is about the same. Running DB 1.5 with Adrenalyn's latest kernel.

Duke
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
My gps is MUCH better as in I can now get a signal in 30 seconds compared to 5 minutes (if it even worked). Battery seems better and more accurate overall. Great find.
[Thunderbolt General] knave68:
Definitely a little better. 20 miles from Philadelphia its picking up 4g now. Not sure about about the battery, I'm always on this thing. I've never had problems with my GPS before or after the update. (must be I got the only Tbolt with working GPS... LOL).

BAMF 1.5 Remix

Drod2.6.32.36
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
Have some of u tried the updated radio? One from yesterday was missing the 4g modem with only a 12mb file. The modem posted today had 4g modem included and file was 25mb. Check bamf1.5 thread. I downloaded yesterday and it was terrible but the updated modem with 4g profile made it so much better. This.modem is certainly an improvement.
[Thunderbolt General] entraik:
im a bit new to this radio stuff... so once i flash bamf 1.5... how do i go about flashing the radio? i dont want to mess anything up or brick my phone.. and can i revert back to the original radio if thigns arent working well? thanks..
[Thunderbolt General] SmokingPope:
I flashed the radio first, then BAMF Remix 1.5. You need to put the radio file (PG05IMG.zip) on the root of your SD Card, then boot into the bootloader. I use adb to do this (adb reboot bootloader) but I believe you can access the bootloader by powering the device on while holding volume down. Once in the bootloader, the bootloader selection should be highlighted, press power to select. From there it should automatically locate the file on your SD card and begin the process.
[Thunderbolt General] someonexh:
Same worked for me as above.
[Thunderbolt General] sprintrjm:
better gps for me in seattle.

Not sure of the battery life yet.

Bamf'ed 1.5
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
I have noticed much faster auto-switching between 4G and 3G throughout Los Angeles.

I have not noticed any change in terms of battery life, signal strength, data speed, call quality, GPS lock, etc. Everything seems to be working just fine as before.
[Thunderbolt General] gcantrell:
I'm not noticing a big difference to be honest. I do notice that it switches from 4G to 3G faster but it still wants to show me bars and no data signal at times. Sometimes it'll just sit like that for a few mins yet if I turn LTE off it finds 3G and locks on, and it never loses it. I just wish HTC could make it so that if no 4G is availiable it switches right to 3G and will keep it locked on and if there is truly no coverage show me the x instead of full bars.

For those who want to know, rooted running BAMF 1.5 remix. Clean install did full wipe before install and installed new radio before ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] entraik:
i flashed the rom first and then the radio... is this fine?
[Thunderbolt General] mtuckman:
So far for me it seems a bit better on both locking in a GPS signal as well as battery life.

But...... I also flashed BAMF 1.5 for the first time, so a lot of the battery performance may be related to that rom.
[Thunderbolt General] cuguy:
After two days of use I did notice some battery improvement, nothing else really. Please note that there's no LTE in my region, so idk if rebooting and such can be an issue for this radio
[Thunderbolt General] hairydawg75:
Battery life is about the same for me....BAMF has always been excellent for me in that regard. My GPS is still a little slow, but nothing I can't deal with. 4G on the other hand is worse, not sure why. Speeds are much slower and I get more dropouts. I've re-flashed the radio a few times along with BAMF 1.5 to get a clean slate and still have the same problems.
[Thunderbolt General] mitchell4500:
I dont know... it keeps touching me... in places...

But for real a lot of issues have gone away. And the battery has improved.

Hi,

I'm searching a renamed calendar app for my Samsung Galaxy. I want to install it parallel to the Samsung calendar and not instead of it. Anybody knows a solutions to do this? I've found a normal calendar.apk here, but it is only possible to replace the existing calendar with this app and not to install it parallel.

Thanks,
