[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
I plugged my Gtablet (CM7.02 with Pershoots 4/30/11 kernel) in to my computer just now to test. I haven't used it on this computer since installing CM7. I did just work on my boss's Gtablet the other day running both stock TapnTap and VEGAn 5.1.1 and it worked fine on his.

I plugged in the tablet, Windows 7 (32bit) said it was installing drivers, driver install completed successfully.

On my tablet I then swiped up the notification bar and tapped on the selection that said "tap here to mount USB to share files with your computer" (or something like that). The Android mascot screen popped up and I tapped "Turn on USB".

New drive opened up on my computer that was the gtablets /sdcard.

So it works and used the same driver as before.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgonza02:
No special drivers for CM7.

One nice thing about CM7 (or maybe Ginger) is that now when plugging in you get access to both the internal and external SD cards from PC.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
My computer Vista (32 bit) at no point said it was installing drivers after I upgraded to Cyanogenmod 7.

When I swipe the notification area (and I assume that the notification area is the area at the top of the tablet's screen), I get a menu that tells me that USB debugging is activated and that's all. No option to mount USB. And no screens popped up to ask to turn on USB. None of this.

And when I plug in the USB, as I mentioned, I get the two tones from Windows, and 3 new removable disk drives appear. But when I click on each, I get am asked to insert a new disk.

That's all the info I have at the moment.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
At this point, I'm so sick of it. I think that probably somewhere a switch is not flipped or a box is not checked, but I have no idea where that could be. I'm seriously considering using ClockWork mod to restore the system. But I'm loathed to do this since I spent 2 hrs. downloading Cyanogen Mod last night (I have a slow internet connection).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I would suggest that you turn off "USB debugging". That setting exists to activate adbd on the tablet, and normal users, usually, never need it. Enable "USB debugging" only if you need to use adb.

After disabling USB debugging, reboot the tablet, and then connect the USB cable to the mini-USB slot on the gTablet. As soon as you do that, on CM7, a USB Mass Storage screen with a green Android will pop-up with a message saying "USB connected" and button to "Turn on USB Storage".

Click the button and a warning that "If you turn on USB storage, some application you are using will stop and may be unavailable until you turn off USB storage.", will appear. Select OK. The green Android will now turn orange and the screen will say "USB storage in use".

Use the "Turn off USB storage" when you're ready to wrap up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
Ok. I think I might have solved the problem, but some intervening events makes me not sure. Basically, I restored to factory and then put in a different ROM, VEGan7. However, while doing this, I think I might have found the solution to my original problem.

It turns out that it does seem to be a problem with Windows, or at least with Vista. I had the same problem with VEGan7. But this time, I right-clicked on the "removeable disk" that appeared under "Computer" (where you see all your drives) when I hooked up the G TAB via USB. After I right-clicked, I selected properties and then clicked on the "Hardware" tab. You will see a list of all possible storage devices to associate with that icon. I chose the one containing the string "Tegra2" and I was off to the races. I was then able to perform the actions mentioned above about activating the USB on the G Tab.

I suspect I could have used this technique with Cyanogen 7. The only thing that I question is that I saw 3 removeable disk drives appear and not just one. I hope this helps someone else who might run into the same problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgonza02:
Did you by any chance have an external micro SD card on the tablet?

If so, I'm thinking that you saw the 2 SD cards + the APX debug mode device.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidukfl:
flash this zip (in post #3) to mount the internal storage as an SDcard instead of EMMC. If you run that then you should be able to mount the storage when running CM7

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20913-cyanogen-7-viewsonic-g-tab-usb-connection/

also your other option is to boot into Clockwork recovery then go to mounts/storage and mount usb

you should then be able to transfer files back and forth
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgonza02:
Beat me to it :)

My post on "the other side"
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
No, just got the tablet. Didn't have time to fool with external Micro SDs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
Thanks, I'll give it a try. What are the ramifications of mounting the internal storage as an SD card instead of EMMC? Do I lose performance? I mean, there must be a reason that the default is EMMC.

I wouldn't want to boot into Clockwork every time I want to transfer something, apps or even music and videos. That would be a real pain. Actually, I was surprised at how long this tablet takes to boot up after a complete shut down.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgonza02:
From what I have read that's the way that Gingerbread does it. Some programs actually have problems with that configuration, that's why people do this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
Do you think you might post the file here. When I go to that link I'm not allowed to download it. The irony is that that link says it came from here but I've used the search and I can't find it here. Maybe it is just day after Cinco de Mayo problems I'm having?
[Galaxy S II General] Fysi:
For anyone that is interested here is the build.prop for the SGS2.

http://pastebin.com/42ALCtns

I've also attached it for those who don't want to visit pastebin (remember to unzip it for the file).

DO NOT FLASH THE .ZIP FILE!!!! That is your warning, so if you do so and your phone bricks, it is your own fault :P

Not that it would flash anyway. I'm just covering my arse :D

Also if you want any cool stuff, just request and I'll post it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbazt_katuforzs:
I'm from Asia and we uses yahoo messenger here a lot. I received this phone locked to tmo with the default rom. All is working fine with the preinstalled YM app as far as video calling is concern.

Here's the problem, after upgrading the rom to cm's/royal's/etc.... I noticed that when I use the Yahoo Messenger's video calling feature it always uses the main camera. Voice calling is working fine but can't find a way on how I can use the front camera during the call.

Question: is the a way/tweak on how to fix this problem? or perhaps an alternative app that will allow me to sign in to my yahoo messengers account with video calling feature. Thanks a lot!!!! This phone rocks!!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindwarp1571:
DITTO... I have the same question... and I'm using CM7 7.0.2 and have the same problem. Since it is the only way to call to my moms pc I need to know how to fix this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalab0y:
No fix if you are using 2.3 ROMs..

choose a 2.2 ROM, Royal Glacier works fine..

note that the new google talk will be implementing voice/video chat..this will solve the issue if you want to stay on 2.3 ROMs..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Thanks for the infos so i have to switch back. Hope chefs find a way to put this working on 2.3/.3/.4

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanoIronfist:
Woke up this morning to a new update, and hit install. My phone is now stuck on the screen with Andy and the caution sign. What do? I was running Gingerblur v2.something, which after doing some Googling, sounds like I should have removed before updating. Whoops.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
You can do a battery pull to abort the installation, won't harm anything. But you are right, you will not be able to update to 1.83 with and mods on the phone. Being rooted won't stop the update, but changes beyond that will cause it to fail. You will need to flash either the 1.26 sbf, or possibly the 1.57 but I don't really know as I haven't used it, to restore the needed system files before updating to 1.83. Browse the forums as there are many posts already detailing how to get the update if you have mods installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
I am thinking about ordering this:

http://www.amazon.com/G2x-T-Mobile-..._24?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1304350783&sr=1-24

But was wondering if I should spend the money and get a LG issued micro usb and car charger.

Anyone have experience with these chargers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Hmmm that's alot of stuff for such a cheap price. Makes me wonder the build quality of that stuff. I might stay away from that. Just my opinion though. But to answer your question, I use a micro-usb cable I got from newegg. I also use the car charger I got with my MyTouch Slide a year ago.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
First thing I thought was "too good to be true" and in my experience cheap stuff brakes stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Yeah I think the quality of those accessories is probably quite low. If you want a good micro-usb cable I ordered 3 of these about a year ago and still use them today and they work fine on the G2x for data transfer and charging:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
I still have my micro usb charger I used for my blackberry curve (2 yrs old). I would assume that would work. I wonder if the old wall charger would work as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
Those chargers are pretty much worthless. You need a high amp charger. The phone comes with a 1amp or 1000mA charger. If you buy a cheap charger that's 500mA for example you take more time to charge your phone. If the charger is really weak then you might not charge at all or even drop you battery levels while connected and using your gps in your car.

Note these are Blackberry and Motorolla OEM products that will work with your G2X. I use these and they are fine. They are both under $5 each at Amazon.

Cheap doesn't mean bad. All that stuff costs nothing to make anyways.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I buy stuff like that all the time off amazon.com.

I buy stuff like that all the time off amazon.com.

I can tell you you get what you pay for.

I buy stuff like that for coworkers and everthing is still working fine except car chargers breaking because of rough handling of the chargers. Evething else is alive and kicking.

If you decide to get it let me know how the car charger, Charges the phone, and make sure to post pictures because some times picture are diffrent from what is posted on the web.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jboxmods:
I personally got this charger from T-Moble (granted, it was $30), 4.8v 1A... and integrated it into my car:

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns/Accessories/AccessoryDetailPopUp.aspx?accessory=f2105fae-0bb1-47f2-b53b-a8acc9e98c56&inCart=True&catCode=-1

I removed the LED since it's hardwired to the car.

Grated, if you want to move the charger from car to car it's not ideal to hard-wire it... but eh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eatabagel:
Be careful what you buy.

I ordered a Micro-USB cable from an Amazon vendor. It was the one in this package:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XGBBY6

Package seemed good enough. Good deal. The case was serviceable (I won't use it fulltime, but for what I paid, I wasn't expecting much-- it's good for putting my phone in for when it's in the car, sitting on the dash, so that it doesn't slide around while I get GPS maps). The car charger works pretty well. But the USB cable...

I was experiencing battery drain from my phone while it was plugged into my desktop PC's USB with the aftermarket cable.

The next day I tried it with the one that shipped with my phone from LG and it works just fine.

For reals, has anyone experienced battery drain with an aftermarket cable while it was plugged in?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well typically USB doesn't have enough juice to power the phone while you are using it. It might in some cases but with WiFi, the screen, GPS, or whatever... you probably won't be charging the battery much if at all, and in fact might be losing power.

The same with USB chargers. The better chargers provide more power where most only provide the standard 5v (just like a desktop) so with heavy usage (GPS, screen, bluetooth) you might not gain anything.

I'm not sure about PC's because computers follow the standard of 5v and I don't think they will send more over the cable. A bad cable will have more resistance and probably not do as good of a job but overall should work.

The answer is any microUSB cable will work because it is a standard. Chargers (home and car) should provide more power to give it a faster charge.

Some Chargers are able to do "fast-charges" which I know the G2x can handle. I have a Microsoft Zune charger and it devastates my battery charge times. I'll be full in like 30min.

Typically batteries like a slow progressive charges though, which seem to last the longest. Oddly enough, I get the best battery life by charging my phone via my USB port on my Cable Box (haha).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
As long as the charger's output is 5V then you're good. The higher the milliamp output on the charger the faster yourphone will charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
My phone charges just fine when I'm using while connected to my computer via USB.

It's the amperage that counts when it comes to filling up your battery. I've used .5, .6, .8 and 1 amp wall adapter and car chargers. The 1 amp charges much faster but, if I remember my USB spec, that's all that was allowed until Apple came along :) PCs are typically restricted to 500 milliamps (.5 amp) so it's a little slower but still enough to charge it., even under use. I suppose if you have GPS seeking satellites and the display turned up all the way you may draw more than 500 milliamps but I'd be surprised.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rapzfinest13:
So. I accidentally stumbled upon this solution. After many read posts and research i stumbled upon the post of the integration of google voice and sprint. I decided to try it out and magically after changing my google voice number to my own the vm icon disappeared and hasn't been back for hours so far!

Follow these steps:

1) The first step is to create a Google Voice account.

2) In step 1 of account creation, click “I want to use my mobile number.”

3) Enter your Sprint mobile phone number and click the “Check for available options” button.

4) Click on “Enable Google Voice on your Sprint phone” and complete the remaining steps of account setup.

5) Follow the rest of the prompts given o screen to disable your current google voice number (if you have one)

6) I can't exactly remember but you have to sign out of your google voice app and sign back in to complete the changes

7) In your call settings under voicemail service google voice will no longer be listed it will say my carrier BUT all your voicemail operations will be handled by google voice!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rawdikrik:
But some of us want to use our Google Voice number too. I didnt have this issue on the stock rom or on modded 2.2 roms, but it continues to happen on the leaked 2.3 builds.

I just moved from Miami to VA and want to keep my FL number and use my VA Google Voice number.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rapzfinest13:
You should be able to switch it back after integrating. I'm not exactly sure if you can but when you go into your voice settings in google voice you have the option to disable your google voice number and use the previous number.
[Xoom General] lilikin:
Wheels I mean my car does and so does my bike and even my daughters baby walker why can't I drive on it?

Seriously I love my new Xoom its like a really good thing that is really good and not bad just really good kinda thing!

anyway thats my review!

Cheers ;)
[Xoom General] ktd:
Did you really have to create a new topic for that post?
[Xoom General] nebenezer:
Yes, yes he did
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Yep, had to do I I've always wondered why my xoom doesn't have testicals as large as mine. :(
[Xoom General] dubie76:
WTF was his post supposed to mean? I'm now actually a bit dumber for reading it.
[Xoom General] nebenezer:
I'll translate the op for you:

I'm amazed with my new xoom and am delighted I dropped the cash to get one. It does so much I'm surprised it doesn't have wheels (the sarcasm wasn't exactly subtle)

I'm so delighted with this device I can not contain myself so I posted this new thread to express my elation before I have a stroke.

lilikin- does that about sum it up?
[Xoom General] lemarg:
In the states it turns into a car/spaceship on the commercials.

Imagine how disapointed I was when I found out it was just false advertising.
[Xoom General] lilikin:
Thank you!

seems like sarcasm is wasted on some people just wanted to give it (Xoom) a +1 to counter balance all the Apple fanboys/employees who are posting on this forum!

also throwing some mock for the people saying why hasn't the Xoom got X,Y or Z
[Xoom General] Sistum Id:
This could be grounds for a lawsuit. Lets sue Motorola for a misleading product.

[Xoom General] jmfrost:
LMAO!!! :):D
[Xoom General] vidriera:
wtf mine has wheels? Sounds like you got a faulty unit, try again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jism31:
I understand that most one click lagfix apps wont work right away for the DROID Charge, so I would like to start learning how to convert from rfs to ext4 safely and maybe make an app for the phone. Any devs that can give me some advice or instructions would be nice! Thanks guys
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
I believe it will take a voodoo kernel. Is how it works on the fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I hope some of the Fascinate Devs roll over to this device so we can get some of their past work on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If you guys can get me a Charge, I'd be more than willing to take my work from the Fascinate and get it going on the Charge :) Also, I'm sure Voodoo lagfix can be made to work, and Voodoo Sound will also work. not sure about color though due to the different display that is being used. Applying the color fix may actually make it look worse, though supercurio would probably be the person to ask about that one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I'm sure once it hits many will gather round the devs to support them in their cause, I know I will.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If someone can get me the kernel, I can get you guys CWM and a cleaned up ROM. Not sure how functional CWM will be, but we can work out the bugs then after people can test it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jism31:
If you can tell me how to get you the kernel I can get it for you. I work for Verizon and I am trying to slowly learn the developer process. Let me know
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Well, you'd need a rooted device, and after that, you should be able to use dd to get it, but I'm not completely sure where it resides yet. The partitions aren't the same as the Fascinate and Continuum, and I'm guessing it's due to the LTE radio. You could just dump 3 partitions to see which are the correct ones I guess. Via adb, here is the sequence of commands you'd use:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml8 of=/sdcard/bml8 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml9 of=/sdcard/bml9 bs=4096
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/bml7
adb pull /sdcard/bml8
adb pull /sdcard/bml9

Then just tar/zip/7z/whatever the files and put them on a file sharing site and send me the link to them. Just a note that while this shouldn't cause any issues as far as breaking your phone, there is always that possibility, so just be aware of that fact as I'm not responsible if it breaks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I know there is a user over at android central who is rooted already on his lucky Charge. You should cross-post there and if other are not yet comfortable with rooting, which I do understand.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jt1134:
Voodoo lagfix is a piece of cake, did that a few months ago ;) Lost all the files I had though :p

Somebody dump their zImage (bml7), and it can be easily hacked in. Will take some rewriting of the lagfix code to merge with mainline cuz the partitions are much different (system/data/cache, all of em are different than other sgs devices), but whipping up a usable kernel is stupid easy, recovery should not be difficult either.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jism31:
Something I'd like to see is Voodoo's color fix on the super amoled plus screen. They are always just a bit off with colors.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
I just tried this and I am getting permission denied. I would really like to help but I don't have much knowledge on adb.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DRAZY:
I remember reading somewhere (blog) Samsung had released the SDK for the Charge a couple weeks before the original scheduled launch. I may have downloaded it. If not, I can ask my Samsung contact if he can score it for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
Go to opensource.samsung.com, go to mobile->mobile phone, and scroll to SCH-I510 and download the source code. That should be everything you need, right?

I would love to post the link directly to the zip file, but I'm not allowed to, having fewer that 8 posts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
After you type in SU, the prompt should go from a '$' to a '#' if it doesn't, then you won't be able to use dd
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Yeah thats the problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
When the phone is plugged in and you go to use adb shell, have it up at the home screen. Then type in su and press enter with the home screen still up. Superuser may have captured the event and prevented it from going to root in adb shell until you allow it. If it did, you should see a prompt show up on the screen about allow/deny for root access just after pressing enter for root access. Allow it, and then you should be able to continue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Thanks a lot, I was able to pull that from the Charge.

http://www.mediafire.com/?kg66bb6cms9m62m
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Ok, well I guess its time to put out a call to arms. I am not as familiar with imnuts work on the Fascinate, I had it for about 3 days and returned it. I am more than willing to donate to the Droid Charge cause.

What types of customizations can you bring over to the Charge (assuming it actually goes on sale this year) from the Fascinate? How far away are you from reaching your goal of being able to purchase a Charge, I know retail is up there (that's how I am getting it as well)?
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
imnuts is a pretty prolific dev. I can remember him from the eclair days.

Come onto irc and you can talk to him directly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I figured he was a pretty big dev. Not to seem noobish myself but what is irc, and where is it? I see it in posts and threads but nothing specific.

I am all about supporting devs who pour their time into helping those of us who can't code. I know an AOSP ROM is not an easy task and the TB team has many working on the CM7 build which is still in alpha, imnuts may be able to get some insight into the 4G LTE (RIL?) stuff from them.

I will definitely support the cause and would like to chat with him, I am always up to learn more about this stuff and how I can contribute.
