[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncbc:
I think your phone is just Eng-OFF, because my phone shows the same :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Ship s-off is radio S-off.

If you then add Eng S-Off it changes to ENG S-OFF but you haven't lost radio s-off.

To double check look at the CID in bootloader system info. If it all one's then you have radio s-off (with super cid)

Anyone with a cappy ever tested the epic? Is it too bulky? Is atleast as good as the cappy? See i need customer service thats reliable (already had sprint,i get them to do what i want:) ) and with simple mobile on my cappy i have already changed my number due to people calling it because someone else in my town already had that number. So i changed it and now theres morw people calling over and over even after i tell them they have the wrong number. Anyways,any tips would be great. Also who has had verizon? Is there service worth the price? Droid incredible 2 ok?
[Captivate General] p3dr0maz:
I had a cappy and yeah the epics (sph-d700) bulkier but the reason i switched was cause i dropped my cappy and the lcd cracked. Dropped my epic bunch of times and its fine. Both had otterbox cases so go figure. I do get some comments that my phones big but the case adds some mm's in thickness. Just overall feels sturdier than my old cappy.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
why don't you just list those numbers on your auto-reject list?
[Captivate General] brd912:
What about battery life on the epic? My cappys battery life is always hit and miss. Sometimes i get 16 hours with heavy use and other times i may get 12 with moderate use.
[Captivate General] brd912:
Well i havent thought of that,but ive gotten to the point that id rather pay more and not have any problems lol
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
You do realize that with any carrier any number could have belonged to someone else and the same situation can show its head.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
does the epic even have 2.2 yet? on the cappy we can run 2.3 samsung roms for the i9000. the launcher on the epic i used was not configureable, and switching launchers breaks the samsung widgets. this is why i use touch wiz. i cant be bothered finding replacment widgets in the market for everything. i guess you can pull a twlauncher with landscape added from the i9000 forum like the one from gtg. other than that the mms app didn't have contact lookup and multi select. you had to type names. it seemed to be a big pain to send out bulk mms. also there was no way to add contacts to groups in the phone, i thought of that as a way to send out bulk mms but then found that i couldn't do that either. you had to do it with your google account. i don't sync to google so that's annoying. i guess it could be edited in kies full by importing the vcard then clearing your contacts and moving the edited vcard back but i dont know if kies full works on the cdma phones.

the issue with it not having 2.2 is a lack of source code, you wont have the level of development seen on the gsm varients. although you can easily get 2.3.4 with cyanogen mod you have to decide if aosp is what you want. i personally dont like aosp as much as i like the samsung software packages.

all in all the epic is a decent phone but has really ****ty software out of the box. though some of that can be changed the selection is not as good as on the captivate.
[Captivate General] 41LY45:
The Epic is nice. (Physical QWERTY FTW!) lol.

Wanted that instead of the Cappy at first. But sadly, it's a CDMA/WiMax exclusive phone. :mad:

Would have loved to see a GSM variant of it released. :p
[Captivate General] Longcat14:
Actually the Epic has 2.2.1, so yes, it does have 2.2.

And I don't think the Epic has as many ROM's as the Captivate for 2.3, but the Captivate and the i9000 are the only phones that have a ton of 2.3 ROM's anyways (The Vibrant has a few, but not many).

BUT, no-one's going to get the Epic on Sprint now that the Nexus S 4G is released, 2.3 stock. Beats any SGS phones anyday. :)
[Captivate General] pizz0wn3d:
You sir, should read up on the SGS2 :P

Herp derp Captivate XDA Premium.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
I meant official 2.2 or 2.2.1 if it does it id news to me. But anyway if it does do the launcher and mms apps still suck? i know those can be changed but im sure there are other apps that suck as well.
[Captivate General] ingrown:
I work with someone that has an Epic, and there is an official 2.2 update out there. He installed it OTA, and it bricked his phone. He's now on his 3rd Epic due to the brick on his first one and a problem with his screen flickering and turning off randomly on his second. He's now getting by on 2.1, but it keeps bugging him to update. I've pointed him to the Epic forums on XDA, but so far he's not confident enough to try custom ROMs, so I can't share any anecdotes about that.

I feel kinda bad b/c my love for my captivate inspired him to get Sprint's sgs, and he's had nothing but trouble. Maybe if he has to return it again Sprint will let him get another model.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
it's funny because i speak to a senior cdma systems engineer for samsung on an unrelated forum. im half tempted to tell him he's blowing it but i know alot of the downfalls of the cdma galaxy phones are decisions made over his head and poor carrier cooperation.
[Captivate General] brd912:
Well since sprint requires a credit card,im screwed. Im thinkin about the fascinate but then again theres rumors of a ton of new phones comin to verizon. Ugh,stuck between a rock and a hard place
[Captivate General] Dani897:
the gharge was supposed to have been released already. but problems with the lte network caused them to hold it back. if you want a galaxy s like phone that's the one to get on verizon. though there may be a cdma varient of the sgs2 coming as well. ther is also the continuum which has 2.2 and a smaller screen but there is no development that i can tell going on with it.
[Captivate General] brd912:
I love blackberry form factor,but hate the operating system. So the droid pro seems like an ok idea but going back to 3.1 inch screen from 4,is.impossible lol. Not to mention I'm sure it lags. Damn decision making is too hard
[Captivate General] Longcat14:
I should rephrase myself.

The best SGS phone currently released to CDMA U.S. carriers. :P
[Captivate General] The Root:
I have an Epic and we do have official 2.2.1. Not as many Roms, but that's because the ones we have work well. Gingerbread is mostly officially finished on Epic with 1 Rom leak. It's a great phone and the hardware keyboard makes life easier.
[Captivate General] brd912:
I'm really thinking of getting it. Its only 50 bucks from celluardeals.com . Front facing camera any good?
[Captivate General] The Root:
If I had to do it all again, I would still go with the Epic. If your company has a Sprint company discount, you can get unlimited everything for about $70/month.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
ok so i guess i was wrong. the fascinate is the only galaxy s that is pretty much dead in the water waiting for an update. ill bet they skip to gingerbread though as long as it has taken them.
[Captivate General] brd912:
Where I work we do get a discount but I'm not 18 so it won't be in my name. Really blows lol
[Captivate General] The Root:
If you switch and like to root, try Syndicate Rom. A thing of beauty.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper2488:
Hi folks,

I'm new to the boards and to the eee transformer. It's a nice device; having a couple of well known niggles such as instability and hd playback bugginess but I'm sure they will be fixed.

I have noticed something on the pad which I thought was quite strange... In Settings, somewhere in the application usage part it says I only have 568MB of total ram, I thought it had 1GB?

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuobob:
I don't own a transformer yet, but I think it might be that the rest of the ram is holding the honeycomb operating system.

I own a htc desire and it has 576 mb of ram, but in task killers, I can only get around 250mb at most.

hope that helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipergrm:
That is exactly right. There is a lot of background processes running which uses RAM. Exactly the same with any other operating system. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
The number you're seeing there is what's leftover after the GPU and OS grab what they need. You'll notice that the number will change over time.

Edit: Oops, looks like we're tripping over ourselves to answer this question. Seems it comes up with every device.

[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
You cannot put an iFrame in to your signature. It just won't work. Signatures on XDA must be plain BB-Code. So you'll need to take the contents of your iFrame and convert it into plain BBcode tags like

[Venue Pro General] erebusting:
I called dell to complain about my replacement DVP having these issues:

1) it freezes up and crashes constantly if I try to use WiFi

2)when I connect it to my Windows 7 64bit PC, zune runs extremely slow.If I unplug the phone, zune will speed back up to normal.

...They "did some research" for about 3 minutes, and came back with,

"The wifi issue will be fixed in an update comming soon, and the issue with zune on the pc will be fixed in an update coming soon."

wtf? haha..

well I asked the rep if he had a date on when that update would be coming out or at least a time frame and he said "no, it is just coming soon"...

So I asked the rep could I then get a refund, because the update may come way too late for my liking and by that time I will no longer be able to get a refund...

he then proceeded to try and give me a refund, but I stopped him to ask how much it would be for, and he replied that it would be 249 or so (the same price I paid to get the replacement)... so I then asked what about the phone I sent THEM? I would be out of a phone so I requested that they give me a refund for the price of a new device possibly -just to get my idea across at least...but he said he could not do that and so I asked to speak with a manager and told him that it was nothing personal -so he seemed like he was transferring me, then came back on after having me on hold and asked for my service tag again..he said his manager was on the phone with someone and would be with me right after that so he put me on hold again...then actually in stead of being on hold I was hung up on...I cant recall if I heard the waiting music or not ATM, but I know I heard a click after a while and the operator came on (the one like if you leave the phone off the hook for a while etc...).....

wow... what do I do?...and do you think the rep intentionally hung up on me?
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
call back and instantly ask for a manager. Hopefully their PC systems should have logged who answered the first call and you can complain.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Roebeet and I have confirmed that the 1.2 bootloader is not locked, it just has changes that other devices have gained before the Gtablet.

The 1.2 bootloader is compatible with pershoot's Zpad kernel and Adam kernels. The newer bootloader causes older kernels to fail because it requires extra voltage levels from the bootloader.

Check out Pershoot's Zpad option here: https://github.com/pershoot/gtab-2632/commit/6665ebaa6cd071d4669578983e82ea36d58fc68a

The Gtab can run Pershoot's Zpad kernel on the 1.2 bootloader. This means that the Zpad and Adam's bootloaders were from a newer branch of Malata's internal smba1002 kernel repo. If any future Gtablet or Adam kernels come out past 2.6.32, they will most likely be incompatible with the 1.1 Gtab bootloader, so it is best if people start moving ROMs on to 1.2 to prepare. We know that Notion Ink has Malata working on a post 2.6.32 kernel.

I know Roebeet is updating his mods to run this new setup, so watch out for them.

Bottom Line:

- If you run a 1.1 ROM now, you can continue to do so.

- If you want to prepare for future development, just transition your next version to using Pershoot's kernel for 1.2 and the 1.2 bootloader
[G Tablet General] blazingwolf:
Hmm, seems some apologies are in order.

Good stuff guys. Glad to see that the G-Tab will be able to move on to the new stuff. :)
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
We really think this is an opportunity for the Adam and Gtablet efforts to unite under one effort. The system images have always been easily ported to each other, now the kernels are also.
[G Tablet General] asankasl:
I also think this is the way to go. It's rumored NI is going to release a GB update soon ( It should have hardware acceleration since it is from NI). Also there is a tremendous dev effort going on porting HC to Adam, in addition to NI's promise for HC.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
ive updated the compatibility listing.
[G Tablet General] Oozura:
Fantastic news. Thanks for sharing.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
rothnic/pershoot- this is good news for the zPad and Adam - but not concerned about those devices, even if they're related. This is about the gTablet and if this bootloader requires certain things that come direct from the manufacturer - and discourage the custom creation and modification of kernels - how is that not locked?

If we have to use the zPad kernel on the gTablet because voltages have to be higher (odd) then don't we lose the advancements pershoot has made in the overclocking of the gTablet? And how does staying with a manufacturers regulated bootloader help with people who have decided not to use the crud coming from the manufacturers and instead want to make their gTablet more than it can be? Why are we still thinking we have to follow the manufacturer like sheep and not break away and become more?

Looking for answers, not trying to be antagonistic. Looking out for the community at large as well.

Good work on figuring that out for those on TnT and stock-based MODs. If it were going to be anybody it'd be you guys!
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
the voltages are not higher.

old/new bootloader kernel is the same (save for the attenuation of the extra voltage step). this is to update to the current standard of the device, as layed out by Nvidia.
[G Tablet General] karlkarloff:
Thats awesome news, and thanks Rothnic for posting it. I'm running one of Roebeets 1.2 ROMs now, so I look forward to being able to get pershoots custom kernel on it.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
just flash the 0430 .zip from droidbasement labelled 'newbl', and you'll be set. that rom is froyo, so choose froyo.

if it doesnt flash properly with the stock recovery, then create a boot.img for yourself, stick that in the rom .zip, and flash.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Hmm - haven't seen any new standards from nVidia. Do you have a link?

So those wishing to use your kernel need to use the "new Malata bootloader" ones if they are on the 1.2 bootloader? Are you still going to be separating the kernels for those who want to stay away from what a manufacturer pushes and wish to stay with CM and other custom builds?
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
You're definitely going to need to provide a procedure for the above and then support it because there is a LIMITED few who even understand what you just told this user to do.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
yes, just look at my github.

the kernels are seperate. this is outlined in the downloads and in source.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
just flash the .zip in recovery as you would any rom.

that's all.

if it hangs (it shouldn't, as someone else just did this without issue: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13588874&postcount=5), then you wait for someone to produce a boot.img in a 1.2 rom.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
yeah - but you told the user to create a new boot.img, put it in the rom.zip and flash.... not wait for someone else. And what's the fall-back?

Probably blind, but where in your github does it answer the question about nVidia and provide a link? and by your downloads are you referring to your blog site and the different blob of kernels? A suggestion would be to provide more of a writeup on which to choose - based on if you're going the manufacturer route or the custom ROM route.

Good work figuring out the locked bootloader and getting around it's restrictions.
[G Tablet General] notsob2002:
Only one person doing that as of now and I'm using the BC version. The updated version with the kernel will be released today:)
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
the fallback is you reflash the rom. this is nothing new to the procedure.

this has been this way for weeks in my tree and blog postings. i need not add anything further to the postings. i just renamed the labelling to reflect the current gtab testing confirmation.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
Let's be honest here, not every owner of a Gtablet is a developer that wants to unlock the pandora's box of great things that this thing is capable of. Some of us just (to be honest once more) wanted the cheapest alternative to the iPad that we could find. I use iPad, because it IS the industry standard...we wouldn't need terms like "iPad killer" if it wasn't what people strive to be or surpass, right?

in my opinion, the 1.1 based roms available right now do what you say we want, make it more than it can be. It takes the crud from the manufacturer and improves on it. Heck, some people actually like the crud from the manufacturer, but just utilize the market fix, to have access to more apps. I would say that most of the people that own a Gtablet flashed 1 rom, and still use it to this day, without messing with their Gtablet, for fear of breaking something (yea, that would be me) I'm perfectly happy with Vegan 5.1.1, and have no intentions of changing until there is an OFFICIAL Nvidea hardware supported rom, that allows for hardware acceleration. Kernel tweaks etc. are fine, and I'm running Clemsyns right now, but NVidea has stated that it will not support Harmony unless requested by a manufacturer. If we need their crud to get the drivers, then so be it...but we do need their crud, first. If NI is actually doing what VS can't, or doesn't want to do, then so be it, I'll take it. But, regardless, if the bootloaders are changing, and all new updates are going to be using that new format, then why not change with the times?

I can understand that the people sorking on 1.1 roms are feeling a bit jaded, since they are still working very hard on all of their 1.1 roms. I do sympathize with them, since it does appear that 1.1 is becoming a thing of the past.

I believe that Robeet's initial point was that there would be new Gtablets that will possibly be shipped with the 1.2 bootloader. Had those people come here and flashed a 1.1 Rom, not knowing the difference, they might be a bit upset with the results. 1.2 Roms needed to be made, just for the people that have the new bootloader. Me, personally, as I've said, I'll be sticking with my 1.1 Rom just the way it is right now until there is a huge significant change that will make me update to 1.2, and flash a new rom...but it must be stable, everything working, hardware accelerated, with kernels that work...might be a while before I switch from Vegan 5.1.1.

Todd

excellent - thanks pershoot.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Thanks pershoot for your commitment to supporting the gTablet, both from a custom-ROM and manufacturer-MOD perspective. It's greatly appreciated and giving users options is ALWAYS a good thing!
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
There is a clear method to lock the Gtablet bootloader via nvflash options, and that is clearly not used. It would require signature checking, and the Gtablet 1.2 boot.img is not signed. So, the term locked was a misnomer to begin with.

Using the 1.2 bootloader does not get in the way of development at all. This is about a bootloader/kernel compatibility issue, not a locked/unlocked issue. The core problem was Viewsonic only released kernel source for the Gtablet during the 1.1 timeline, and never updated the source. If they had, there would be no issues to begin with.

I added this to the first post:

Bottom Line:

- If you run a 1.1 ROM now, you can continue to do so.

- If you want to prepare for future development, just transition your next version to using Pershoot's kernel for 1.2 and the 1.2 bootloader

All future Malata smba1002 related kernels are going to need to run on the accompanying bootloader. Notion Ink says they are trying to get a post 2.6.32 kernel out for use with GB and potentially HC, and it is possible that this could benefit the Gtablet. So, the only breaking away would be into a development world that is confined to froyo and a WIP gingerbread.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
yeah - the term was a misnomer - but at the time it did apply given that only something from Viewsonic was known to work and all other things didn't.

I honestly would be surprised to see anything come out of the NI camp (directly from them) given the amount of jokes coming from there. They were all about HC - and had such memorable quotables about it too! - and now they're all about GB..... hmm.... Maybe they should do Donut.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
No, it never applied. The term locked infers that someone is actively trying to keep you out of something and that is not what happened here. Some forward looking changes were made in a codebase and that was all. The developers probably weren't even aware that it would cause anyone any problem because they aren't there to support modders they are there to produce a product for their employers. Apple has contractual obligations to the media companies that they do business with to provide locking/blocking techniques in their software. Nvidia, Malata, US Merchants and Viewsonic have no such obligations. All that happened here is someone provided new code and the others in the chain used it because that is what their businesses do. It had nothing to do with preventing a handful of enthusiasts from enjoying their hobby, as is now plainly evident.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
I think the question that might clear up some confusion:

- Is it a bootloader -> Kernel issue or a bootloader -> Kernel -> Rom issue.

For examples given the current CM7 builds (or whatever other 1.1 bootloader based ROM), can you keep using this ROM but just upgrade the bootloader (say via nvflash) and use a pershoot's gb-newbl kernel ?
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
yes, most likely. you just need to flash the needed parts in place after flashing the rom.

1.

flash a 1.2 based rom (which will flash the new bootloader in place via TapnTap's integrated function to do so via recovery).

2.

flash CWM (roebeet has compiled a more recent CWM recovery from src; its out there; search for it on the interwebs).

3.

flash CM7, flash kernel 'newbl', reboot.

everytime you upgrade CM7, flash the 'newbl' kernel on top prior to rebooting.

to save yourself some headache, go back to a pristine stock image prior to moving up to a 1.2 based rom. then make your way back.
