Does not work on Froyo. Might work for some people using the CM7 alpha.
[Thunderbolt General] burntorangefan:
It will work on CM7, it'll just take time...ports are slower on TB than on other devices like the OG Droid...
[Thunderbolt General] runhopskipjump:
It kind of works on TB if you are running cm7. I can see whom ever I am talking to on the thunderbolt but they can't see me. The quality is pretty good.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Can you forward Google Voice calls to it? Or can you make Google Voice calls within the new Gtalk?
[Thunderbolt General] runhopskipjump:
I haven't tried that yet. I have a sipgate account connected to my gvoice so I am not in a rush. You should be able o forward calls to your gtalk account but you cant call from your gtalk to your Google voice.

Also the flashable didn't work for me. I placed the files with root explorer. God I love that program!

He,

In order to get Arabic Android Generic Update for FroYo, I have to apply an update.zip from sdcard.

I rename the flash file update.zip and put in the root directory of my sdcard but when I boot on recovery and check this item <update.zip from sdcard> the reponse is "can't open /sdcard/update.zip".

Is there any solution to get it ?

Thanks for help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combattalon2:
I wen't for a run with my incredible, which I have done many many times, and when I got back the Green notification light was on. I think some sweat must have found its way into the phone. Is there an app or anything I can do to get this notification light turned off. I don't need the light, I turn it off on all the applications that use the light. I'm rooted running CM7, I changed kernals and loaded Sky Raider to see if that would fix it, to no avail. The light comes on almost instantly after pushing the power button on a reboot. Looking for some input before I go talk to verizon. I'm due for an upgrade in June, so I can wait it out if I need to.

Thanks

[G Tablet General] sherwinsilv:
It needs to be said. I'm in my late seventies and had lost a lot of my interest in computer technology and was a bit lazy and lax about it all and then I got the ViewSonic G-Tablet.

Thanks to all the information and step by step procedures shown here on xda-developers (and the terrific videos available on YouTube), it never even entered my thoughts that I was tossing my warranty away on this unknown territory that was the G-Tablet, and still I made change after change and went through the pain of learning this totally new Android way of looking at things. I've finally settled in for the moment with VEGAn-TAB 7.0. But I really enjoyed the process in getting there.

What a fun and marvelous journey. I've read all kinds of complaints and a few accolades about the G-Tab and the journey, but for me it has been a real jolt (a joyful one) into this new computer technology ahead for us and it has been a joy to see an Operating System out there other than Windows making an impact. And I especially appreciate the opportunity to experiment and create the platform I want, rather than being stuck with something handed to me.

I'm having a great time and THANKS TO YOU ALL for making it possible. And thanks as well for letting me toss my few cents in every so often about things I'm learning. Getting old is becoming rather a pleasure nowadays.
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
When I was a kid my old man gave me crap about "wasting so much time on computers" now that he's been retired for a while he realizes there are so many things to learn about technology and computing he's been spending more time online than I do.

It all comes down to time really, the devices themselves aren't really that expensive it's the time to read, research, experiment and implement that takes time, being retired or having free time means you have an advantage.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Just passing these along to those that want to use them. They are both flashable apps. The Gmail probably works for all roms but the Gtalk is for gingerbread roms and maybe just for CM based roms as ive only tested on CM7.

I know there have been inversions before but the email is both in the list of emails and in the base of the email itself. The GTalk is the same way where its in the list as well as the conversations of the app.

Credit goes to the guys over in the droid forums. I tried to invert the Gtalk for gingerbread before but there was one thing missing and that was the outgoing parts of the conversations and they found the fix for it in the smali code.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscentral:
Droid Charge or Thunderbolt??? Which should I get I'm torn between the 2. I don't care about software support or the UI.

My main concerns are camera, battery life, screen, and hackability(custom ROMs)

So main questions being how is the camera in low light situations, and video quality?

How long does the battery actually last for you? Is it comparable to any other smartphone or do I need to get used to carrying a charger with me.

How does the screen compare with others? I have a Fascinate now and the Super AMOLED has spoiled me.

Finally how easy is it to load custom roms on the device. Is it a pain, or is it simple. The Fascinate was very simple.

I don't care about Sense vs Touchwiz as launcher pro or vanilla launcher will be on the device.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
Well... no one owns the Charge yet but I can give you my experience with the Thunberbolt.

- The camera sucks but then again I think every cell phone camera sucks. I'm comparing it to my D700 + Zeiss 50/1.4 which I usually have on me anyway. Any cell phone camera in low light is going to be awful unless you use the flash. Even then, it still sucks. Video quality is fine though.

- I'm using the extended battery. I've been at work since 9:30 and it's now 5:00. My battery is at 68% and I've been sending the occasional text and going on Tweetdeck and a few websites. I do have 4G enabled all the time though. I keep my charger with me all the time regardless though.

- The screen is fine. The glass is Gorilla Glass. Some people say that it's not GG and it scratches easily but I don't know what they're smoking. It's the same quality as my Droid X. I find the colors to be way oversaturated but I'm comparing it to a $700 calibrated PC monitor.

- Rooting is easy. There aren't any true one-click methods yet but hopefully in a month or so there will be. Flashing ROMs is as easy as any other device.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novedk:
I was in a VZW store in San Antonio, Tx this afternoon, and got a little hands on time w/ both phones...

Charge has a GREAT screen and is "light" in the hand next to the TB. I downloaded Speedtest.net from the Market, set both phones to the same server, checked the signal strength (both the same) and ran the test.

The Charge never got above the 10 Mbps mark at any point. The TB never dipped below 17 Mbps. I checked it multiple times while I was in the store for 1.5 hours!

Like the TB, the Charge's battery seemed a little anemic for the demands of the device.

I walked out the TB, not just because the Charge wasn't available, but because I liked the TB experience better.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
I can't speak for the charge... My tbolt will video fireworks at night and take stills pretty well. Megapixels mean everything in pictures. I love my tbolt and hardly ever use the camera. To each their own though...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
Here is an article comparing the two. My personal choice would definitely be the Thunderbolt although I've never actually used the charge.

I agree htc will sell phones that have 8mp cams and the quality sucks its the software and lens I think
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
camera is mediocre. It gets the job done, but as posted earlier, is hardly a photographer's go-to

all 4G phones will have horrible battery life until they figure something out down the line, but for now at least the thunderbolt is capable of running some of the nice LV kernels to save a little battery and downclock etc.

the screen isn't too bad, go play with one at a VZW store and see that for yourself

at the end of the day I got the TB because HTC released the kernel source (actually bought it the next morning) and with the kernels on my D1 I could keep up with the big boys for a lot longer so I hope for the same on the TB. And since I got it, sense has actually grown on me quite a bit, I actually prefer it to the vanilla UI
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbmitchell:
The phones are almost equal. The Charge has a better screen and a bigger battery and I can't speak to this device but the camera on my Fascinate was the best phone camera I have seen on a phone(who knows if this is comparable.) However consider how long it has taken samsung to roll out updates and compare the development community for the Fascinate to the DInc. The Thunderbolt has more ram, is slightly cheaper, and will have fantastic dev support + updates will come quicker.

On top of that if you stay stock, Sense destroys TouchWiz. et the Thunderbolt or wait for a device that is more different (Play, Bionic etc.)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
True that, the sensor makes much more difference.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
Compared to my DX there are a few good things and a few bad. The TB screen sucks. It's been a real pain for me browsing on the TB and that's the main thing I use, its very hard to select a link in the browser to open in new window, it wants to select text instead and I have to zoom all the way in, open page, then zoom out. When I open a page it automatically rooms in and I have to zoom out to see the page. The stock Rom ran super smooth compared to the X but the roms don't seem to help anything, on the X roms would make huge differences in performance (ive only tried a few roms and kernels so far on the TB though). The volume button sucks on the TB also, its so sensitive that you will accidentally change the volume all throughout the day which is extremely annoying.

It seems to have one of the fastest connections on 3g that I've seen, I can't wait for 4g (suppose to be this summer here). The unlocked bootloader has lots of potential, not sure if the charge is unlocked or will be unlocked.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostSe7en:
The Thunderbolt is great, but I can't wait to get a stable AOSP rom on it and I hate the screen lighting. Also, battery isn't as big of an issue as everyone says it is. Just turn 4g on when you really need it.

It's my understanding that all I have to do is run the file and treat it as though it was something like the Odin one click method. What I want to know is the following:

- Is what I have the correct file?

- Are there any other methods to return the phone to stock should I have any warranty issues?

I appologize if this has been covered, I did search and wasn't able to find out any concrete advice.

[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I was a big hater for Samsung due to their broken GPS (some fixes help but it's still broken), Samsung's denial of the GPS problem then their "the next update will fix it" NOT, slow software updates and RFS file system. I truly was #neveragain.

But all in all, I do like the SGS (our devs have helped with that). Screen is amazing, good cpu/gpu, nice storage, good camera. So why would I not consider the SGS II for my next phone? It has a better and bigger screen, blazing quick processor, new gps radio, no RFS.

My mind is saying #neveragain, get the G2X but the specs make me want forgive sammy and wait for the SGSII.

Oh, HTC Sensation is out if it has a locked bootloader.
[Vibrant General] ZoNoMo:
Good question. I absolutely LOVE my SGS except for the GPS. When I let people hold it, they are amazed at the weight and i love the speed, screen response etc. Just pretty PO'd about the GPS. I have a work around but it takes between 10-15 for it to wake the heck up!
[Vibrant General] regP:
If your mind says G2x than go for it. It does however have problems of its own at the moment. The common feeling around here these days is that Samsung seems to have learned from their mistake and are trying harder. Only time will tell for sure. If you dont wana wait for it get the G2x and hope the problems are cleared up soon. Worst comes to worst you can sell it and put that money towards the SGS2 when it finally comes out.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I started #NeverAgain

I would absolutely get the SGS2. The phone will be amazing.

All manufacturers have their issues, Samsung proved they would listen (they really did, trust me). They havent shown any signs of locking bootloaders and hopefully they continue improving with releasing source.

Timely updates is not their thing.

It also looks like an iPhone. Yuck (my opinion), only b/c everytime I look at it that's what I would think about.

[Vibrant General] icy56:
The galaxy s2 seems like it owns the g2x. In most reviews ive read like they say the battery life lasts 2 days with heavy use. That's ridiculous. And the GPS is fixed on the sgs2. Hell its even fixed on the galaxy s 4g which is what i have. And the screen looks amazing. 4.3 inch super amoled plus. keep in mind the g2x has many issues like major screen bleed and horrible battery drain in standby mode.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Everyone cries about SGS being this and that, but it is one of the best phones on the market to date. Yes the GPS was flaky, but try the New G2x or any other of the phones and you will find lots of problems...... me ? I am waiting for the S-2 it will be better and it will be the hardware I am looking for, I really never cared about any of the operating systems...... they all suck one way or another.

So how will/is the build quality? Is it plastic, like ours, or more solid like htc phones?

Do we know how the processor compares to what will be in the htc Sensation or the Tegra 2's that are out?

duel core, 4.3" screen, 1gb of ram seem awesome, but is the phone able to actually effectively use all that power, or has the hardware been hindered by the software/code writing like our Vibrants were?
