[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oresteez:
I'm loving the responses. I was afraid of posting, because I didn't want to get flamed.

This community is so much more mature than a lot of the forums I've seen over the years! :)

Just say the buy.com link for a new G tab for $259!! I may just have to jump on that!

I think I was straying because I was using someone's Ipad at work this morning, and the screen is just so pretty to look at...

But in the end, I agree with one of the prior posters...its expensive, and I really don't want her spending that much money...(granted, it was going to be a combination Father's Day, Birthday, and she won some money in Atlantic City a few weeks ago type of gift) haha :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
The gtab is a steal for the price.

But I like to think of the gtab as a "fixer-upper." Your going to save some money, but your going to have to invest time and effort into getting it working well (assuming your new to this). If you do spend the time the gtab can perform better than the iPad 2 in my opinion. But if you only want to spend a couple of hours getting your tab ready to be a daily driver, then the iPad will be your only option.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oresteez:
I just purchased it! I can't wait to get it.

I love reading about these types of things and tinkering....

I've already rooted 2 of my own phones and helped a friend at work root his.

I honestly was kind of saddened about buying a used G-Tablet, because most people have rooted them already and I felt I was missing out on the experience. But now I get to do it myself and I'm very happy about that!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
It sounds then that you wanted a tablet for more than simply viewing Youtube and Netflix and playing games.

Obviously if you want something customisable with broad capabilities where you're not constantly fighting in a struggle against Apple to lockdown your device, you'd do best with an Android system. But if, as your original post seemed to say you'd be interested in a device simply for watching video limited to Youtube and Netflix as well as just using apps like games, then the iPad2 probably would have been better.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Take the iPad 2 as a gift, sell it, then buy a Transformer -- problem solved!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Well, it's your mom so that's a factor in all this (it's not really "free" since she's paying for it).

If I were in this situation, I'd try to convince here to get me a Transformer instead (IPS screen, $100 less than the cheapest iPad2). But, if she sticks to her guns and it really came down between an iPad2 as a gift or money for a GTAB, I'd have to take the iPad2. It has a better screen, loads of apps and it will have good resale value if you decide to upgrade later on. If you compare them back to back as being no cost (to you), the iPad2 wins.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
Search the net for iPad jailbreak.

I'm pretty sure that iPad 1 with iOs 4.3.3 is good with jailbreak. Not sure about iPad2. Once an iPad is jailbroken, it is the best tablet to have, nothing can compare to it. Also check with Verizon stores for special deal. Recently, I landed an 64GB iPad1 for $399. But perhaps money is not an object in your case.

BTW, jailbreak is legal in the States.

Take the iPad....:)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctorisin:
GTAB

I have friends who have spent well over 100 dollars on apps for their Ipad. Other than my MLB.COM 15 dollar splurge, and a couple of bucks for TI Backup, I haven't spent a nickel. Lots of things that are legitimately free for Android cost money in Itunes/App Store.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
No Apple fan here... in fact I'm anti-Apple. But I'd take the free iPad to me is a no brainer.

I say take you mom up on the offer, save the money and buy a new Android tablet next year when the new improved and more powerful tablet show up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
I agree with the Asus Transformer advocates here ;p

Also with respect to the above poster, I agree: there are just so many apps on the iPad you have to buy vs. the large selection of free ones on Android.

I also was expecting the selection of games in iTunes to be much, much better than the ones on Android. In my opinion, they aren't. Aside from a handful of gems exclusive to the iPad (which I admit could be enough to draw you to an iPad over Android), a lot of games aren't so much better, especially considering the very many number of them that rely on microtransactions, and of course a good deal of them are cross-platform. That's not to mention the smaller number of games exclusive to Android as well.

And of course, Android apps simply can do more because the device isn't completely locked down..
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oresteez:
Well, here's the end result:

I think I'm going to make out good on the deal, haha :)

I would have felt bad if she spent 500 on an ipad..so I would have given some money towards it..

Instead, I bought the G tab from buy.com for 260..

I'm due for a new phone, and Verizon just changed their pricing, so I need to upgrade by July 7th if I want to keep my unlimited data.

With my New every 2 discount, I'll be able to buy it for about $200...

So instead of the ipad, I'm going to get the G Tablet and probably the Droid Charge.. and it still ends up cheaper than just getting the ipad 2 :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slombar:
I'm having alot of problems transferring videos using MTP. Even if I set it to sync a video in windows media player everything crashes. Can I uninstall the drivers and get it to re-install with just mass storage? Would buying the USB adapter allow it to work as usb?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
As I own 2 tablets

I updated one and compared quickly with the old firmware. here we are LEFT are 3.0.1 and RIGHT are 3.1

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

noticed the browser is faster really, on Xda is really a big difference.

noticed the wallpaper picker is better, showing a kind of frame (visibility of the picture on the desktops)

noticed the wifi icons show now the traffic (2 little arrow up and down)

noticed charging battery bugs gone (now updated as should be, no more 1% and unplug and see 100%)

noticed resizable widget (mail, calendar...)

noticed widget weather updated and fixed, now the city is not crop anymore.

noticed a smooth improvement of speed when using globally.

Bugs from old and new

- no auto update of the sdcard content when plugin...

- a small weird bug (text) on the status appear (I got a thai character hahah)

- have to clean data and force stop the ACER CONTENT application, to can launch them (one time only)
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
Looks good. Thanks for the pictures. Has anyone in the US tried 3.1 with a Verizon aircard? I would like to know if it works OK. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] mippippippi:
Hey is the cell standby still present? It was rumored that this issue will be fixed with update
[Acer Iconia A500] preynmantis:
I have a Verizon Pantech UMW190, connected with a ZyXEL MWR211 and it reports "No update available". Much as it has reported for over a month. I am unwilling to try the hacks to get an update loaded, so I wait... and wait...

Build: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1

Kernel: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I will see. because on mine still have but low percentage...

I have to see also if I untick the DATA Usage in new setting wireless and network that will get rid about.

but now we see all about phones things (more than before)
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
I have the same modem, but I want to know if 3.1 supports it directly plugged into the USB port. It would be nice to have native 3G support and then I can downgrade my phone to being a phone. Right now I use it as a wireless hotspot to access the Internet when away from the house. Take care.
[Acer Iconia A500] preynmantis:
That would be nice, though I can't imagine how fast the battery on the A500 would drain down powering the USB modem at the same time...

That said, this router is really good. Wireless N support, battery operation for 2 hours if needed. Also can be used to make a hotspot with any other USB stick or even share out a DSL or other wired LAN. Well worth the $50 I paid for it.
[Acer Iconia A500] BusySignal:
Thanks for the pics.

Does 3.1 have Handwriting Input for Traditional Chinese? Can you look under the XT9 input settings?
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Interesting how the kernel version is still the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] cptkirc:
Hi,

yes, cell standby is still visible.

Christian
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I doubt that CELL Standby use that much battery that people think...

my tablet stand for 8 hours (average time) with regular usage, wifi on, and play game as well...

Watching a movie : 2hrs use arround 20% of battery before the update so I can watch plenty of movie (10 hours roughtly)

[Xoom General] emmib:
I'm about to order a Motorola Xoom and I've been hearing some rumours of upcoming Android tablets, mainly the Xoom '2' or 4G and the Asus Transformer 2. Is it worth getting a Tegra 2 device now, or do you guys think it's best to wait?

After a Fall release, the earliest I can expect these tablets in Malta is around April/May 2012.
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
It's purely up to you. I got mine in early May and have been loving it every day. This is coming from a guy that gets a new phone every year because I just can't stand the slow and laggy behavior of most. As for the cost, it does seem a tad pricey, considering you can get a full blown laptop for that kind of money, but I have enjoyed it. Now that I have one I would buy another in a heart beat if this one were stolen or broken. The new ones will be awesome, but they aren't out yet. It COULD be out soon, but these things seem to get delayed at the drop of a hat.
[Xoom General] qwerp_:
my 2p, its all about the availability of the community support and the openness which it has.

if you hope for motorola to support (software), you are looking at the wrong device.

if you have plans to root and unlock this device, the i guess its worth it. else i recommend you looking for something else.
[Xoom General] Jola013:
I like my Xoom, but to be fair, if it was stolen right now I would immediately replace it with an Asus EEE Transformer - mainly because all features work, and also because of the keyboard dock - and they are now freely available (not the mobile wireless version, though).
[Xoom General] Kippui:
If you plan on keeping it stock look elsewhere

This is the best tablet if you plan on rooting and installing things like kernels/roms.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] doug2311:
Does this new Kies software actually work for anyone? I installed in on my Macbook (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) and although it recognizes my Google IO LE tablet as a GT-P7510 correctly, it can never display the list of songs, videos, of pictures. As soon as I click on "Music" or whatever, the Kies app has a spinner icon (not the Mac system beachball) that spins forever. My tab isn't rooted, is not in USB debug mode, and is running the most recent Samsung 3.1 software.

Has anyone gotten this Kies software to work properly? Any tips?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] miguelroboso:
The same with me. It stays in the "Connecting" phase for ever
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] doug2311:
I found a work around to my problem where Kies for Mac stayed stuck in "Connecting" phase forever: do a factory data reset on the device. I did a FDR on my Google IO LE Galaxy tab and the sync'ing via Kies with my Mac now works great. It's a pain to reload everything, but it's way less pain that having to use ddms to transfer files.

I figured this out finally by testing a friend's new retail version Galaxy Tab. His was the same model number and running the exactly same OS build, and Kies running on my own Mac connected to his Galaxy Tab just fine. The only thing different was that my LE Tab had originally shipped with OS 3.0 and been upgraded to 3.1, so I guessed that maybe it was some crazy remnant of that. Sure enough, doing a factory data reset such that I started with a "clean" 3.1 Tab fixed the issue right away.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] szymon9:
Hi,

I have Xperia X10 mini pro with MiniCM/CMv6 5.0. For very long time everything was fine but now it seems that Enter key is still pressing itself and I can't write SMS or do hardly nothing with physical keypad. I don't want to give it to a service so I tried to turn off Enter key. My /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml informs me that my keylayout is qwerty-en, so I deleted from /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/qwerty-en.xml these lines:

<key id="28"
meta="META_ENTER"
primaryNormal="\n" primaryShifted="\n"
associatedNormal="\n" associatedShifted="\n"/>

without result.

My question is how to disable this key.

Thank you in advance and sorry about my english ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Change the keyboard layout, put the enter key with no action????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Btw just asking did u save the .xml file u edited???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
go to messages press menu buton

select settings and go down and you will se Sedn on Enter disable this and try ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] szymon9:
Thanks for reply :)

Of course I saved the file and checked it by opening this file again. Now I tried deleting just "actions" for Enter key:

<key id="28"
meta="META_ENTER"
primaryNormal="" primaryShifted=""
associatedNormal="" associatedShifted=""/>

so as you can see I deleted "\n", without effect. On Windows Mobile this issue is partialy solved by using program called AE Button Plus.

Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] szymon9:
I have this option disabled but writing messages with hardware keyboard is still difficult because there is still created new line and in a result message looks like this:

s

m

s

In addition, the problem not only affects sms writing but also web addresses entering and even using menu.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thekindladies:
Check what is set for the key 28 in the mimmi_keypad.kl in the system/usr/keylayout.

It should say:

key 28 ENTER WAKE_DROPPED
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] szymon9:
Yes, it says

key 28 ENTER WAKE_DROPPED

I deleted this line and after reboot Enter doesn't work. Thank you :D
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
FOR ADVANCED USERS: How to get Web and MMS Working on Droid X (CyanogenMod 7)

I am writing this guide to help others successfully have working Web and MMS on CyanogenMod 7.

First of all you will need to be on CM4DX before doing any of this. Follow the link [ROM][BETA] CyanogenMod 7 for the Droid X

I used TBH monster zip file to get me on CyanogenMod. In his instructions it says to install the zip twice so you can get the .07 radio but I only did it once and stayed on .12 radio.

I have no problems with the updated radio, but the only reason why I didnt flash the zip twice is because I didnt want to flash the phone back to cricket. (Flash once and Cricket flash stays, but flash twice you will have to flash your phone back to Cricket).

Update to the newest Nightly #14....this will take care of the eri, crt animation, MMS and gps issues.

Keep in mind this is still in beta so there will be issues.

Once your phone is booted up use the greenK45 v1.0 - one click 3g internet/market for $45 plan [APP-BETA] greenK45 v1.0 - one click 3g internet/market for $45 plan (Awesome app, please try and donate)

Download Autostart root from market

Download APN Backup & Restore from the market and use the attached APN's that chrisngrod provided. (Replace X's with your 10-Digit Number)

Restart phone and make sure to grant Autostart root Superuser permission.

Download APN Manager from Market

Open APN Manager

Choose APN List

Select CDMA-MMS

Edit the build.prop. I use android commander to pull the build.prop located in /system.

Once you pull build.prop change verizons mcc number from 310004 to cricket 310016.

you can rename the ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha to Cricket..Theres 2 places where you have to change it. The easiest way is to use notepad++ and then search for (310004) and then edit the file.

Once you have changed verizons mcc number you can delete the original build.prop from /system and then drop the newly edited one in its place.

Once this is done reboot you phone

Restart your phone and you should have working WEB and MMS.

Im also attaching a flashable zip that will fix the Camera (Camera Fix for CM7 FOUND!)

Thats how I got it to work for me, but there may be easier ways of doing this.

Thanks to CVPCS and CyanogenMod Team

Thanks to chrisngrod

Thanks to mraabhimself for the greenK45.apk

Thanks to xraytedjim and P3DROID for the camera fix.

If I left anybody else out just let me know. Thanks

edited and formatted by: pixeldotz

Not needed anymore:

[*] Download apns-cons.txt

[*] Rename apns-confs.txt to apns-confs.xml

[*] Copy newly renamed apns-confs.xml to /system/etc (you can either delete or overwrite the old apns-conf.xml in /system/etc)

[*] Now rename the Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak or delete and then replace with the attached Mms.apk.
[Droid X General] roberte1342:
Thanks for this info, before I dive into it I'm hoping someone can answer a couple questions.

I'm going to switch 2 of my lines to cricket at the end of this month. They are both on CM7 GB 605 kernel. Do you know if it will work?

Is there any advantage of using their $55 android plan over the $45 one?

Thanks
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
That's a little outdated try this post http://www.cricketusers.com/verizon-motorola-droid-x/12264-working-apn-mms-apk.html#post21416

Also you can go to the "How to flash Droid X to cricket" section and flash it yourself..its pretty easy and painless...

1) Yes having them on CM7 GB kernel will work on cricket..

2) I am on the $45 dollar plan and have no issues but if you put them on the $55 plan it is a lot easier to get everything working. The $55 plan doesn't use proxy's therefore your internet works immediately after flashing a ROM..The $45 plan you have to take extra steps to get internet to work because it does not use proxy's. The speed is also a little faster with the $55 plan vs the $45 one..that's just a couple differences
[Defy General] dew.man:
As Atrix users found out, Motorola is unlocking their bootloader in the next GB release.

That said, has anybody with a Defy that has installed one of the latest 2.3 leaks tried the "fastboot oem unlock"? I'm on CM7 and am too busy today to flash the sbf and try it myself...
[Defy General] kashavsehra:
That is a very interesting thoery! The atrix 2.3.3 leaked seems to have allowed it, so I am hoping the defy 2.3.3 leak has it too!

Is fastboot an executable that is run the device? Could it be possible to use adb to copy fastboot onto the device data partition or sd and run it from there?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oespinoza83:
I am having an issue with my battery and wanted to ask if it was the norm? I had a battery problem last week and decided to flash the new radios to see if that was the case. It didn't seem to help. So I flashed Tiamat 4.0.5 SBC kernel yesterday after whiping the correct info, flashing, etc. Everything went smooth. I am running latest stable build of CM7.

I charged the phone to 100% (and about 30-40 min more) and then wiped battery stats. Drained the phone all the way until it died last night. I put on the charger before bed and let it charge all night. I woke up at 630am and it was 100%. It is now 930am (3 hours later) and I am down to 40% battery. I have not used my phone at all this morning. No texts, emails, calls, web, anything. Is this the norm? Is there something I am not doing with the kernel? I have good 4G coverage in the area, so I am not sure what the problem is.

I am attaching a screenshot of the battery usage.
[Hero CDMA General] poashll:
It was driving me nuts that in order to get my SMS through my messaging app and use GV for my voicemail to be getting double notifications every time I was receiving a text. I have noticed a few others expressing their frustration with this as well so I thought I'd share what I have done to work for me. Maybe someone else will find it helpful, or less frustrating anyway, too.

First on my phone, I went into the GV > Settings > Sync and notifications and turned off Inbox notifications.

On my PC I went into GV Inbox, then Voice Settings. I clicked on Edit for my phone and made sure there was a check in Receive text messages on this phone and clicked on Save.

Then I click on Voicemail & Text. Under Send a text (SMS) message to I put a check next to my phone. I also put a check next to Transcribe Voicemails and click on Save Changes.

GV must have updated their transcribing software because lately it has been almost spot on.

Anyway, what this does is now I receive my texts through my messaging app and when I get a new voicemail, I receive a text with the transcribed message notifying me that I have a voicemail. The text includes the caller's number so I can return their call directly if the transcription makes sense. I do not receive any notifications directly from GV so no more double notifications.

I keep a shortcut to GV on my default home screen so I can get to the GV inbox directly.

Also, if you use GV extension in chrome, your texts and voicemail notifications still work so you won't have to go to your phone.

I hope someone finds this useful, or if anyone finds a way to only be notified of voicemails, please share, but this really has worked much better for me.
[Hero CDMA General] JesterGrafix:
On somewhat of a related note after reflashing my rom and then reinstall of GV I started getting all my texts through GV and all my calls were being screened by Google. Ended up having to remove my phone from GV and then removed GV from my phone. At reinstall I had to make sure not to combine my sprint account and my Google account. Now GV is working again and texts are worked too.
