[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
I ran into the exact same problem a few weeks ago after installing CM7...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902860&highlight=usbdeview

I used a program called USBDEVIEW and just obliterated all the usb drivers (I guess the safe way is to remove any mention of Nvidia usb devices) and rebooted the computer. Let the system reinstall all the USB devices. Restarted the computer again. AND ONLY THEN did I plug in the gTablet. Once plugged in, the system automatically installed drivers and recognized the tablet, you may have to point to the inf file if it fails to install automatically.

USBDeview from CNet

Good luck!

Don't let this setback keep you from using great ROMS like VEGAn Tab Gingerbread RC1... once you've mastered the NVFlash process and CWM recovery install (I prefer the external CWM install) you are all set for other mishaps.

I tried to uninstall the nvidia drivers using USB deview, it asked me if I wanted to uninstall drivers I said yes but I can still see the drivers in the USB list

Is that ok?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
You need to run USBDeview as an administrator. Right click on "USBDeview.exe" select "run as administrator" and then when you are asked to confirm, click "yes"

Only then when you "uninstall selected device" the device will disappear. Otherwise you are only in view mode.

OK I just figured that out and was coming to post that. Thanks for realising that is what I was doing..:)

I conneccted the tablet to my PC.but it still does not detect it

The only time my PC detected it was the first time when I pointed it to the nvflash folder. After that it has never detected it and I havent seen the yellow ! icon.

what am I doing wrong?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
Firstly, powerdown the gTab.

Turn on power while holding "vol -" to enter into APX mode (you'll see the viewsonic birds then the screen will go blank)

On the bottom right corner of the Vista screen, click on the USB icon that says "safely remove hardware and eject media"

Look at the list the pops up, does one of the devices say APX?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvvccc:
no It only says safely remove mass storage device

oh wait

my tablet switched on to the reboot screen and didnt stay black

trying it again
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvvccc:
it installed "NVIDIA boot recovery driver for mobile devices", is that correct?

This is where I get stuck, my device manager doesnt show the apx at all whatever I do, what am I doing wrong?

I think there was a way to overlook safety signatures somewhere but I couldnt get to do it,

Is there some way I can ask my computer to overlook the safety signatures?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
EXCELLENT!!! Now you are ready for NVFlash instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

BTW, you will not be able to see the device under windows explorer as in the normal way such as "D:" "E:" etc drive.

Once you get everything setup per the above instructions and run "nvflash_gtablet.bat" you will see the flashing process in the text box.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
Just want to make sure...

Under Vista Device Manager

-- "universal serial bus controllers" you have "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices"
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvvccc:
Yes I do, so I should start the process now?

THANKS a lot, will update you as it goes on.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
Yes, follow Roebeet's instructions and you should be set. Also play it safe and keep your gTab plugged in unless you are sure of the amount of battery life left.

On CM7, ADW keeps restarting. Like very minute when using phone.

I did not have this problem with SavagedZen ROM.

I have 130MB+ free RAM.

I tried both ADW's and CM's 'keep launcher in memory' options -- didn't help.

Any way to solve this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algirnavi451:
try a fresh flash. That might fix your errors. If you have done so and it doesnt work then check your adw settings. Also run fix permissions from rom manager. Fixing permisions solves almost every force close for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Also try downloading "VM Heap Tool" and increase the dalvik VM heap size to 48. You can try lower values first to see if it helps without going all the way up to 48.

If you have any widgets that have a ton of content, this may also cause your launcher to crash. For example, a scrollable widget with 100+ contacts on it.

You can also fix permissions on Amon Ra - its called "fix apk uid mismatches" and I believe it's under the "other" menu. You can also try wiping cache & dalvik cache while you're there.

Any other ideas?

I've now switched to a Sense ROM (MikFroyo 4.62) and it STILL restarts CONSTANTLY.

I emailed the developer; he said he's 'working on it'.

I'm starting to regret purchasing the EX version...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Do you have system persistent checked in Settings? You can also lower the OOM value to keep the system from killing it. There's an app that lets you do this easily,(although only temporarily) but I can't remember what it's called.

Have you tried downloading it from the market and starting fresh instead of restoring with Titanium? I had weird issues going between roms when I would restore ADW's data. After a clean install and setting back up, I never had any force closes or redraws.

Just out of curiosity, is the app actually force closing or just reloading when you come back to it?

Many from this site may have purchased a BlutO case. It is a case with a bluetooth keyboard in it.

There seems to be a problem with the USB charging cable. Mine does not charge the keyboard when plugged into a USB port of my netbook. The seller of these has contacted his supplier about this. In the meantime, I have read that a similar cable made for an Apple product will work. If someone can post more specific details on this, it would help.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I am using the BlutO on stock Tap'nTap firmware (4349). I installed the recommended BlueInput app to handle the bluetooth keyboard. When I went to Settings>Language & keyboard, it showed the Blueinput with an unchecked box. Selecting it does not put a check in the box.

I experienced the same thing when trying to install an alternate keyboard in a stock firmware. The problem is that the keyboard apps install in the /data/app folder. A keyboard app must be installed in the /system/app folder. The solution to this is to copy teksoft.blueinput-1.apk from the /data/app folder into the /system/app folder. You need to use a file manager where you can change the /system/app folder to R/W. I use Root Explorer.

After copying the app, delete the original in /data/app, then reboot.

To enable the bluetooth keyboard, first select the search icon on the right side (the magnifying glass). Long-press the search bar and a message "Edit text: Input method" will appear. Select "Input method", and a screen showing available input methods pops up. If the BlueInput app is installed, it should show as a choice. Select it and enjoy the keyboard. Use the same method to switch back to the Tap 'n Tap keyboard, or install other keyboard apps using this same method.

ENJOY!!

I was the first to report this issue and the workaround to Steve; I am using the usb cable for my iPod Touch (the connector for the iPod is the same as the connector for the keyboard) and it works just fine. If you have an iPod or iPhone the usb cable for that device should work on the keyboard without any issues.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I have investigated this further. The end of the cable that plugs into the keyboard comes apart fairly easily. Here is a picture, but I did not take note of the orientation of the white symbol on the outside before I took it apart (sorry).

I used the information on an Apple cable, from here:

http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-monochrome/59754-usb-cable-pinout-someone-usb-cable-please-help.html

It appears that this cable is the same as the one in that thread. He does have the USB pinouts backwards, they should be this:

1 -> 8 (red) 5VDC+

2 -> 6 (white) Data-

3 -> 4 (green) Data+

4 -> 15 (black) Ground

EDIT: I just noticed that this doesn't match the picture!!

I plugged mine into a USB port on my netbook, and checked the cable. It does have 5VDC at the back of the connector. My probes (and my fingers) are too big to measure the actual pins in the front of the connector. So I still don't know why this doesn't work.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
i just noticed. My picture doesn't match the pinouts that I listed below it!!

It looks like the red (5VDC+) and white (Data-) wires are swapped!! This may be why it doesn't work.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I swapped the red and white wires, and now the keyboard will charge!

Since the cable has the two Data wires connected, I suspect that this keyboard could also be used as a USB keyboard. I hope that the mis-wiring didn't damage that ability.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I tried it as a USB keyboard, and it isn't recognized by my netbook. Can someone who didn't have trouble with the cable try it as a USB keyboard, and see if it works?
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
Now that I have everything fixed, I can no longer get the keyboard to work. :(

I think that it is the BlueInput app that is not working correctly.
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
Are you trying to use the keyboard while it's connected with the USB cable? That may be confusing things because the tablet will accept input from a USB keyboard.

I have the keyboard working wirelessly with BlueInput. Haven't messed with the charging cable yet.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
No, in fact i have tried to use it that way, and it doesn't work. I think that the mis-wired cable may have damaged that.

I have re-installed BlueInput, and copied it to the /system/app folder. I can select it as an input method, but typing on it now in Search gives me nothing. And if I try to switch back it won't let me, I have to reboot to switch back to the TnT keyboard. This doesn't seem right.

When I go into the Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth settings, It shows the keyboard "Paired but not connected". I deleted that connection and went back to Blueinput and scanned. It connected again, and FINALLY it worked again in the Search bar. This time the Settings section shows nothing. When I tried using it inside of the browser, it didn't work again. It seems to loose the connection very quickly. I am then unable to establish the connection again.

I have a gtab with tnt Lite v4.4.0 and have installed bluetooth keyboard easy connect. I go to the Settings/wireless&networks/bluetooth settings, press connect on keyboard (flashing blue light), scan for devices & select bluetooth keyboard (pair with this device). Then get popup "bluetooth pairing request". have tried 0000 1111 1234 and various combinations.

When pairing with my netbook they keyboard sends a numeric code for me to enter which allows it to pair. So with Android, what is different? What am I doing wrong??

Bluto keyboard not working

I received my Bluto keyboard a couple of days ago and can not get it to connect to the gTablet. I am running TnTLite 4.2.4. I could not get it to work using the bluetooth software on the tablet (I also get "paired but not connected" message). I then installed the BlueInput software and it still doesn't work. When I type on the keyboard, I do get a clicking sound on the gTablet, however, no typed characters show up on the gTablet screen. The charging cable that came with the keyboard also did not work, but I used an iPod to USB cable and that worked ok for charging the keyboard. I did not expect a problem in connecting the keyboard to the gTablet -- it shouldn't be this hard to make work. There should be some software or at least some instructions that came with the keyboard. I sent an e-mail to the company that sold me the keyboard and so far have not received a response.
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
Update: I am now seeing similar behavior on mine. I suspect the keyboard batteries were shipped in a minimally charged state and I exhausted what was left in the process of connecting it up and testing.

As I recall, I simply typed 0000 when prompted for the code.

If you get that clicking sound but no characters, you have a connection and blueinput is registering your keystrokes but it is not currently set up as your input method in Android. Tap on any text input field with your finger to engage the edit mode, then press and hold your finger in the editable area. After a couple of seconds, you should get a popup window with a list of available input methods. Select blueinput and then back out. (There is no [Ok] button)

Now you should have clicks and characters when you press a key. You can repeat this at any time to change your input method e.g. when you want to use the on-screen keyboard.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I was able to charge mine, after changing the wiring on the supplied cable. I don't believe that is what is causing the disconnections.

This may not work on stock firmware, or firmware derived from stock (TnT lite). Has anybody tried it on a Vegan firmware?
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
I just now tried mine with the charge cable plugged in and while the charge light does not stay illuminated, the keyboard does now stay connected and active.

Perhaps the cable is correctly wired and this is an issue with the charge light?

I am asking Steve about this in email.. will post back if/when I learn more.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I use the non-meat eater :)

I'm not too sure about random disconnections but I do know that I have to re-pair each time I want to use a BT device. I quit using the blueinput and use a script that I just run each time for my mouse and it works every time. it basically finds the MAC address of the BT device then you manually attach it. Once you know that it works you can use gscript or script manager (market) to write it and 'one click run' since the MAC will never change

This can be done through ADB or directly on a rooted tab; the following is done directly on the tab. If you want ADB instructions just lemmie know.

You will need: ROOT, a file explorer that will change permissions, terminal (market), gscript or script manager (market)

- Download this zip, extract, and use root explorer (or other method) to place the three files in /system/xbin

- Change the permissions for all three files to 4755 (in root explorer its the three left and three top checked)

*** Turn on BT on TAB / Select connect on BT device ***

(what you type is in RED)

- open Terminal and type su (to make sure you have superuser permissions)

# cd /system/xbin (get you to the right directory)

To test that your binaries are working, you can type hciconfig and it will show you something like the following including the MAC address of your bt radio.

Code:

# hciconfig

hci0:	Type: UART

BD Address: 00:1A:13:0F:88:12 ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 64:1

UP RUNNING PSCAN

RX bytes:14752 acl:325 sco:0 events:729 errors:0

TX bytes:4851 acl:33 sco:0 commands:263 errors:0

Then use the hcitool to get the MAC address of your keyboard (you only have to do this once).

Code:

# hcitool scan

Scanning ...

00:07:61:4B:D7:CE	Logitech diNovo Keyboard

once you know the MAC address of the keyboard you want to connect, create a little script (I use gscript for ease of use) that connects the device using the hidd binary. then verify you are connected.

Code:

# hidd --connect 00:07:61:4B:D7:CE (your MAC)

# hcitool con

Connections:

< ACL 00:07:61:4B:D7:CE handle 12 state 1 lm MASTER

Voila. you don't have to change input device or anything - you can use the bt keyboard interchangeably with the soft keyboard.

[G Tablet Accessories] tallerguy:
Thanks for the reply -- I did not know about tapping on an input field to bring up the input dialog. I ended up downloading an application called Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect and that solved my problem with the Bluetooth Keyboard working for entry -- it is working fine now.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustDepends:
This phone is said to be "Life Proof", I'm about to get one and I'm not sure if I should pick up a case as well. My last phone is still in mint condition basically and that had no case so I would imagine that the Defy would be fine with out one.

Even a screen protector is that necessary? Also if anyone has any good privacy screen for the Defy link me please :)

Oh and Hi forums :D!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LetoKynes:
I would think so.

Sure, functionally it should withstand some bumps and knocks, but if you want to keep your phone in good aesthetic condition then you'll want a case. And yes, I'd recommend a screen protector. Quite a few people have unsuspectedly scratched their screens with random other things in their pocket.

Hope that helps :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIIstpM:
My Defy fell 3 times I think and not a single damage.

The defy(ivory one) don't really need a case because it has no glossy part on it compared to the black one.

Thus the ivory one has no reason to get scratched.

(the contour of the defy is made with the same material as the back cover)

A case is an option, but recomended.

I'm personally using one..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABC_Universal:

I use a case and a screen protector for my Defy.

This is i did with all my PDA's from the last years and i have never reget.

When i sell them they where in so good as new condition.

I buy them from Ebay for little money. Only the screen protectors are not from a good quality from Ebay.

I normally buy a complet body cover from Zagg Invisible shield. I think its the best.

I shall soon buy only a screen protector from Zagg. I dont think you its necessary to buy a complete body cover for the Defy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
mine is a gel case simply because it is slippery as hell naked, my ZTE blade definitely felt more secure in the hand.

The gel cased isnt "sticky" like a silicone one so it slips in and out of my pockets ok but it just adds that tiny bit more grip to make the phone feel more secure.

It is a very snug fit and doesn't bulk the phone up by very much at all
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LetoKynes:
I'm pretty sure I'm using the same one as well. The phone felt much more secure in my hands once I got it :)

The pattern on the back of mine isn't nearly as visible as that though. I can only really see it if I'm looking from the "inside" of the case (i.e. when the phone is out of it)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fotogravin:
The only reason I have a (silicon) case is because the defy lacks an elevated edge around the screen (like some HTC-models have). Such an edge protects the screen from a direct hit falling on a hard surface with its screen (which is the weakest point in the defy imho). I don't see the need for a screenprotector, because the gorilla glass should be strong enough if you don't abuse your defy ;)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
Wierd with two tone color of your Defy. But unique as well as this is the first time I see Defy of this white band color.

My Defy is all black and it just as naked as it is. It doesn't need any casing or screen protector. It just simply awesomely sexy this way...! :cool:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscurant1st:
I neither use a screen protector nor a case. It simply spoils the look. And does not worth also IMHO. the one thing you can do is don't let it fall and don't put the defy on any surface with the display facing down. Like this, your defy will look cool always except the wear marks on the battery lock!

and btw this wear mark is not that much visible unless someone gives a closer look!

May be putting on a case and screen guard will be good for long run, but hey how many years you are gonna keep this thing with you? mobiles are not meant for 10 years use! For 1 or 2 years use, case is not needed.

I have used lots of touch mobiles and normal ones, none of them had any cases, neither they had any Considerable wear marks(except the itouch, that thing need a cover as the back side is of metal)

So my point is, just give some care while using it, instead of casing!
