[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
We just got a samsung galaxy tab for my wife yesterday through sprint. All I can say is stock for stock my evo view blows the sgt out of the water. It has (so far) maybe two things I like about it over my view. One is the button backlights shut off after 4 seconds of no screen touching and two the sdcard access is on the side and easily accessible.

Browser wise (stock for stock) the view loads the same page about 2x faster if not faster. The sgt browser also lags too much especially when scrolling.

This could change as I just permarooted it last night and have yet to tweak the rom. But again stock for stock my view is definitely at an advantage.

[Thunderbolt General] seel1214:
I have been thinking about buying the extended battery for my TB. I have been reading online about what everyone has been doing about their battery life problem. From what i hear most people are very pleased with the extended battery except for the size of it. I was wondering if I just got an extra OEM and put it in my phone when the battery died if I would be getting about the same battery life as the extended battery. I am looking to make my phone last all day while streaming music a good part of the day. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] mrslax:
Don't forget the metal contacts.
[Thunderbolt General] shock2sys:
I opted for the extended battery. the piece of mind that my phone will last through the day (and more!) and not having to carry around an extra battery is definitely worth the price of the extended battery and extra thickness.

what if you go out of town for the weekend? that extended battery will definitely last you!
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
I just bough the cheap 1800 mah from ebayand see how that does. Besides could use the extra charger.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I get a disount on accessories at VzW so I got the $50 extended battery for like $36 so that's the main reason I opted for that battery. Having said that I LOVE having it for times I know I won't be at a charger for a while. It worked AWESOME for my plane trip last week! Damn thing wouldn't die on me at all haha. Well worth the money even at full retail price.

So my sister in law drops her vibrant in the toilet like many other ladies I know, anyone have survival stories they wanna share. We took battery and are letting it dry, didn't try to turn it on. You guys think it will survive?:(:(
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
If it hasn't been turned on, and you pulled the battery as soon as it fell, put it in a bag of rice, and let it sit there for a few days, it should come back to life.
[Vibrant General] shalomhr:
awsome, thanks for the tip ill do that for her:D

Rice ftw.

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Rice...

And you may have to replace battery, I had to do that for mine
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Put through the wash. Took apart, put in front of a fan for a while. Digitizer/lcd is busted. If the phone hadnt been on, chances of survival would have been much higher.

Anyway, rice it.
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
Is this rice thing for real? Why would you put it in a bag of rice? Details please.
[Vibrant General] lorddart:
Imma bet it would be because rice is very absorbent. It would snag any extra moisture or liquid that was in the phone it helps dry it out.
[Vibrant General] Josiahm:
Also try vacuuming it before/after. Its better than blowing it with blow dryer. My vibrant survived a quick toilet drop
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Rice does the trick....mine survived a swim in the pool
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
And you'd win that bet. Rice is a great desiccant. A common trick in the southern US is to put some rice in the salt shaker to prevent the high humidity from making the salt clump up.
[Vibrant General] djluis48:
Win.

If the rice was able to bring that one back, i bet yours its going to be a piece of cake... :D
[Vibrant General] moeedbhatti:
yes man its terrible. it really sucks

My friend used a hair dryer to resolve the problem and the phone now runs well
[Vibrant General] mrrobc97:
My sister in law's toddler droped hers in the toilet and l happened to be there and also did the rice thing and it worked. Well even though it worked she used it for an excuse to upgrade to the 4g so I bought it off her and now I have a second Vibrant and its the one I'm currently using.

[Vibrant General] Seannon:
rice is nice, Silica gel is better

The rice fix is good, it does act as a dessicant, a better solution (but due to time to start process rice until you can get the stuff together would be an awesome idea, be sure to pull battery, leave back off during whole process...) would be get some new silica gel (a cup or so should do) preferably in a sealed container, put it in a baggie (nice option is the ziplock vacuseal ones with the pump or a seal-a-meal) it is preferred to pull a vacuum on it all, and this is why... when you reduce the pressure on water, you make the ambient temperature closer to the point at which it turns to vapor and is A. relatively harmless, B. easier to move out of the phone and less likely to cause an electrolytic reaction with juice still in board components (like capacitors) this is also why you want to IMMEDIATELY pull the battery, and shake out any water, etc... unfortunately, this cannot fix the moisture evident stickers... that is a chemical reaction...

[Vibrant General] mveksler:
From my personal experience ;-) I have been swimming in the pool with my phone turned on for 40 minutes. When I went to change I realized i had phone in my pocket. Took battery out immediately. Dry my phone by placing it on top of low heat device for 3 days and it works perfectly.

You must let the phone dry up for 3 days min don't even try to see if it is working just let it dry. Rice or not really does not matter. The phone is not sealed tight so placing the phone over low heat device will do the job just fine. Find cable box or something that constantly stays warm but not hot and rest your phone on top of it. Flip side each day.

This is truly Die Hard Phone :-) unbreakable and can defiantly swim; try that with your iphone ;-)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryHypnosis:
Roebeet said in a different post that Viewsonic has released a press release about the 4349 upgrade and that makes him feel that the 4349 OTA will be re-released at some point by Viewsonic.

I wolud like to read the press release but I cannot find it posted anywhere.

Roebeet, could you provide a link to the press release?

I don't doubt your information at all, I would just like to read it.

Thank you for your help and all your good work.

Anyone else know where to find this press release?

Thanks, Gary
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
not Roe, but I could only assume that the update will be re-released, since it appears that all Woot tablets are now being shipped with 4349 pre-installed. If they didn't release it, users that never come here could get upset that the newest firmware isn't available to them.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
It was back in mid April - they had a notice here: http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/news.htm

Initially it talked about the new update, and that it had Flash, the extra languages etc. But 24 hours later they pulled the update, and then the notice a few days later (I actually had something to do with that as I had a VS contact and mentioned that pulling that notice might be a good idea).

I have no idea what their plans are, or why their remaining stock is being shipped with 4349 - this is all a mystery to me. I've personally given up on them and I assume that we'll never see another OTA update. Every time I've called their CS department about 4349, they've given me the gojimi XDA link on how to downlevel to 3588. What a mess.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Can we really assume that this is their remaining stock? It seems that every time we think this, there is another Woot sale, or Tiger Direct surplus that's selling.

Right now, I'd estimate that the G-Tablet unit sales total surpasses iPad's sales by a landslide. These newest tablets were obviously manufatured after 4349 was released, right? That means that they are merely 2 months old, at most. souns like they are still in production to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Umm. No. From Wikipedia:

Apple released the first iPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days.[13] During 2010, Apple sold 14.8 million iPads worldwide,[14][15][16] representing 75 percent of tablet PC sales at the end of 2010.[17]

By the release of the iPad 2 in March 2011, more than 15 million iPads had been sold[18]— more than all other tablet PCs combined.[citation needed] In 2011, it is expected to take 83 percent of the tablet computing market share in the United States.[19]

I think the first 'big woot rush' of G-tabs was like 10K.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
Yeah, our little tablet buddy is (and always will be) in the minor leagues, sales-wise. However, Woot and TigerDirect seem to have bought most of what was left and a Woot-off is underway now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I would guess (and it's only a guess) that we are talking MAYBE 60,000 at most. The November run was a thousand, and then the new stock came in but then Staples pulled their inventory. So there was probably a lot of devices sitting on a shelf, somewhere.

The devices from Woot! / Amazon / TD / J&R are probably from the second run, again that's my guess. And, at some point in the last two months, someone made the decision to put 4349 on them - I assume to get Flash pre-installed. It's much easier to do that using a process like nvflash versus someone physically installing it on each device manually. I doubt very highly that these new devices are actually two months old, or newer - more likely they are from December / January.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryHypnosis:
Flash was promised.

One of the reasons for my original question was that Viewsonic's web site promises official Flash support "anticipated sometime in May" and May has already passed. (The web site does not say May of what year).

If I remember right Flash Player Logo was shown as supported on the box as sold by Viewsonic through Sears, Office Depot, and probably at Staples although they were already pulled before I bought mine.

It seems like this would be a good case for a Law Firm to look into and should probably be a class action law suit.

Now I wonder: When will this official Flash support be available?

From their web site!

"Adobe Flash Support:

The Viewsonic gTablet hardware fully supports the Adobe Flash Player. An automatic firmware update will offer gTablet users the option to install the Flash Player plug-in, and is anticipated in May, 2011.

Advanced users may download and install Adobe Flash Player available here. Access the download link from your gTablet browser to install directly to the device. For best performance, make sure to fully power down and reboot the system before accessing Flash content.

(Please note that ViewSonic cannot provide technical support for unofficial installations of Flash players. We will fully support the Adobe certified Flash Player when it is released for the gTablet.)"

If 4349 has been pulled, what future OTA will allow the option to install the Flash Player plug-in, and where is that support?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryHypnosis:
Thanks for the link. I remember when the site still had the reference to 4349 even though the OTA had already ended.

I thought maybe there was a seperate press release.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I had forgotten that it wasn't supported except with 4349 -- that's true. So, seven months after I purchased my Gtablet, I still don't have a stock ROM that has an "official" Flash version (not counting 4349 since I could have easily missed that update - 24 hours isn't a long time).

"Anticipated" is the key word, on their site. Don't think that wasn't added accidentally - gives them leeway to delay things yet again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Here is a fun act. On the support page, where it says software update back in April there's a link that's called "please see news for more info". If you click on that link, it takes you to the news page where the gtablet software update link takes you back to the support page. Look at the parts of screen shots that I took. The top part is the support page and the bottom is the news page.

[Dell Streak 7] thatg:
Hey i remember asking this question a while back about my galaxy Tab but i guess i'm hoping theres been some developments since then. I'm trying to use the Sim card from my smartphone with my streak 7 but it seems tmobile has put some kind of weird block on using phone sim cards with the Tabs, probably to force you to have to buy a separate plan for the Tablets all together. I'm wondering if a workaround has been developed for this and if theres is a way to use my smartphone Sim in a tmobile tablet. thanks for the help
[Dell Streak 7] mrgodai:
dont know if this helps.

I tried the tmobile sim from my touchpro2 with $10 web2go in tmobile's dell streak 7. I got the 4G connection.

thatd be cool but ive got the $30 smartphone plan so im trying to figure out a way to trick the phone into thinking its not a tmobile sim or get rid of that connection to tmobile all together.

Have you tried changing your APN to internet2.voicestream.com?

[Dell Streak 7] ToyGUN:
Have you asked T-Mobile to 'fix your connection'? :) I've done the same with my carrier and switch between my phone and tablet to use the data all the time, but then again my streak 7 is carrier unlocked and so is my phone.
[Dell Streak 7] thatg:
i think this is specific to tmobile tablets in the states, and im not sure there is an unlocked tablet that is tmobile 4g compatible, which is what im after, i wanted to get the lg G tablet but it looks like you have to either use a sim for a phone or tablet, not interchangeable

[Thunderbolt General] justinc101011:
I personally like Xda and the community it has. The devs put in alot of hard work for free to the rest of us.
[Thunderbolt General] merc248:
I do too - however, it can be made better for aspiring developers. My perception is that if you want to contribute code to these ROM projects, it's nearly impossible to get started, ignoring everything that anyone would have to learn about the Linux kernel and Android SDK.

No flames from me. While I like xda, all your points are valid and if anything you ignored some of the worst parts...e.g. Flaming, lack of respect, and other things that I see more often than I'd like when they aren't really warrented.

That said, ive seen much worse on other foss mailing lists, but at least in those cases its about code, not people.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
So you want ROM threads to have a few posts only by the developer and have developers respond to emails to help users? Some developers enjoy helping others hence why they distribute their work for free and spend the time to make posts. The other questions are answered by other members who know how to resolve issues to a point. The fact you use that as a reason this site "sucks" is simply ridiculous. But that's just my opinion just like you gave your opinion.

I do agree with the CM7 issue to an extent. It shouldn't be on one man who has a job and a big family. Others should be helping and the code for everything should be available for others in the community to help get it finished and ready for final release. But with that said he is doing quite a lot and for one man he has done quite well IMO.

Seriously?

You try to start an intentional flame war with a hot topic that's been beaten like a dead horse and then write a blog post (presumably on your own blog because I'm not giving you traffic by clicking on it) so you can get free traffic by link baiting and most likely free ad revenue from it. Pathetic.

[General Questions and Answers] bluesy_92:
I noticed if you get an android app or game, there are often different sizes for the apk file, and different sizes once installed. For example, if you search Raging Thunder 2 apk, you get anything from 2mb to 20mb. I am using one of the smaller versions of the file, and it runs fine, so I don't know why they have larger versions. For Sims 3, you can get the 2mb file that downloads the data, the 11mb file that runs independently, and the 11kb launcher with the 72mb data file. Why are all these game available in different sizes, when they run the same?

Well see I'm looking for more like a sense ROM,with like some miui looks. Like the status bar,the icons at the top. Maybe the toggles and stuff.

[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Give the Kitchen a try.

http://uot.dakra.lt/

You can make your status bar semi transparent, change the status bar icons, customize your notification drop down menu, etc... It's really not that difficult.

You end up with a nice little .zip file that you flash from CWM. Make a back up before flashing your theme!

As far as MIUI apps, notifications, etc. are concerned... MIUI is an Android Open Source Project based ROM, so the best compromise would be to heavily customize a Sense ROM to resemble MIUI or vice verse.

With the rate the developers here put up new ROMs though, I think something like you're talking about is inevitable haha.

I just tried to root my transformer following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587

Everything appeared to work perfectly in ADB and I now have the modified CWM installed..... But I'm not rooted!

Tried to confirm I had root using the terminal and titanium, both failed. Tried downloading superuser... still no dice.

In case it's relevant I downgraded from 3.1. I also did a factory reset after following the guide since I was getting mad fc's (presumably from the downgrade)

Should I try repeating certain steps from the guide, or flashing a ROM? I'm kind of afraid to try anything ATM.

Anyway thanks in advance for any help. :)
