I'm having the same problem. If I run cwm.bat right after running root.bat, it seems to work, but I'm rooted, but can't boot into cwm. If I run it separately, I just get the [resume mode] and nothing else happens. Little help?

EDIT: Nevermind, mine works. What you have to do is root first, then run cwm.bat. When trying to boot into recovery, hold down vol- and power at the same time and then you will have a 5 second window to get into cwm by pressing vol+. Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyDanger:
Hi everyone. I have a 4 year old who keeps taking my phone and my kids (his older brother and sister) ipod touches. He uses them to play games and go on youtube. I've been looking online for a cheap tablet for him to have and on craigslist there are a few for sale in my area for anywhere from $75-$100. I want to know if anyone has any experience with these cheaper android tabs. There's one by Sylvania and some others that just say ePad.

Does anyone have any experience with these and if so, do you think it will be ok for a 4 year old? Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be anything special. Just something that can play youtube and games like angry birds.

Any information is appreciated.

Well you'd probably be best googling the models and seeing if they are real. I had a friend who got a fake off ebay. They work alright. Not great for myself. But if they are a proper tablet I don't see you having any problem as long as its not a scam :p haha

Hmm just had a quick Google of the sylviana branded tablet you mentioned and from what I read it seems to function alright. Some are having problems but seems to be functional haha. Sorry if its what you already know :)

[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyDanger:
A scam on craigslist? Never. :)

Being serious though, I did do some searching on google and with the information I got it figured it would be better to come ask the experts. I really dont care about the software that's installed on these tabs as long as they can be rooted and/or have access to the android market. Its just more important to me that they run decently. They are not very expensive but it's still money and I would like to know what I'm getting into.

Hey,

I was recently setting up a home network for a co-worker and she "paid" me by giving me a White 7" Pandigital Novel "eReader". Its android based and from what I can tell it can be rooted and used as a low cost alternative to an Android tablet. They sell for as low as $100. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with my own since I just got a HTC Inspire 4G...

Guess I can try and hack it. I can let you know how well it takes being rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyDanger:
Please do let me know. I would really appreciate it.

[General Questions and Answers] Zomboogz:
Hey,

Sorry for the delay but I got a little busy with school. I was able to sit down for a bit with the White Pan digital Novel and I must say I was impressed. Due to the extremely low cost and decent spec of this machine it has gotten a lot of love from developers. Its extremely easy to flash ROM's for root access (just place .ZIP on SDCARD, remove internal SD, boot to recovery, and flash it). The guys over at Slatedroid even put Cyanogenmod 6.x on it.

I tested a number of ROM's but most had weird issues. The Slatedriod Cyanogenmod 6.x ROM actually only ran crisp (for now) in landscape mode. Its a bit too weak to play games from Android Market and that's assuming the the ROM you choose has a working Market (most don't by default). They used a mod called the non-ugly hack to fix this I think. Another issue with a lot of these ROM's involved the wifi going into a infinite loop, repeatedly turning itself on and off. Despite the fact that I love Cyanogenmon on my Optimus V, I had to find another full time ROM.

That's when I stumbled across an Eclair-based ROM ported from teh popular Cruz Reader. It was awesome. Smooth in all view modes and even video ran great on the thing. I haven't attempted to OC the device yet, but I would assume it would only make it better. This ROM is rooted of course, and had a working Android Market (and Cruz Market) installed from the start. With this ROM the device becomes a comparable tablet, far exceeding the value placed on its tag. Just use regular apps to manage the power usage and overclock it with Set CPU or something and you'll have quite a machine for $50 something ;).

A big downside is that for an "eReader" the battery life was horrid, a little better than an android phone (and that's even with the stock ROM). You are going to have to hack this thing to get any decent performance out of it as the stock ROM is laggy. The rooting worked for fixing a lot of these issues.

Em still a bit unfamiliar with the rules on posting links to other forums here, so I wont. Let me know if you have any questions on need the links and we'll set up some sort of arrangement.

[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
a video. Im not calling yall liars, but ive had 3, and all have the issue so I just dont see how others dont. Unless its the routers, and yours is way better than mine cause mines junk, but never had issues on other phones.

Anyways, please post a video showing in another room from your router, covering the top landscape style and take a video showing the bars. I dont care if they drop some, Those that say it dont vanish can I please see a video. I JUST DONT GET IT.

Thanks, p.s. I got my 4th sensation on the Way. I want this phone but dont want the wifi issue cause i use wifi 90%of the time.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Don't have another video camera, so you'll just have to trust me, or trust the videos that are posted on YouTube that show it working. I'm in another room, landscape, hands wrapped around the phone every which way, the wifi connection never drops. I don't have a case on the phone. Using Wifi Analyzer I do get about a 20-25dB drop in signal, but it's still plenty strong enough to stay connected and not drop data.

It's more likely something about differences in routers than the phone. Maybe signal strength, or g versus n, or the specific channels being used. Not saying there are no bad phones, but if you try 4 phones and they all do it then it's probably related to something about the router.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I've not got a video but I don't hold my phone when using it in landscape (I rarely use landscape at all tbh). I put it on my lap so don't have the issue
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
please please post a video someone. This is my only issue. If its my router and I need a N ill buy one, but I need a video of someone going to the router, then watching them walk to the end of the house in the room and do it. If it does not kill your wifi I will be sold and figure out why mine is..

Do you have a N router?

Is it just G?

This is serious and Ive only seen videos of them effected and experienced the same.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
Ok so I took my case off and had to wrap my hand completely over the top end of the phone to show a difference, but it did drop two bars ,now since ill never hold my phone in that manner this will never be a problem for me , so I would say that the case makes a diff and its definately there , I really don't like holding it in landscape mode ever , i rarely do
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
For ref, I have a G router (a rebranded Thomson)
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
but you said you dont hold your phone in landscape. I for one play online FPS games in landscape and need it.

Can you test in landscape? since you dont go in landscape? or did you already and have no issue?

please post a video. If yours is fine there are good ones and ill find it. If not im trading back for my g2x today because that
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
so far Im getting. I have no wifi issue cause I never cover it?

well if you do hold your phone in landscape and have no issues, then please post a video. In portrait im golden, but when I landscape it completely depletes.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Here's a video that shows signal drop but no disconnect when the wifi signal is strong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j64GKuuczoE

This is just what mine looks like. Drop in signal, no disconnect.

Notice the other low signal wifi's in this vid do drop away. The same guy also posted a video showing a total drop in connection if the wifi signal is relatively low at it's peak. So, at least part of the reported problems could be due to a relatively low max signal.

If you don't have Wifi Analyzer get it and post a vid so we can see what's going on.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I will make you a video the second I get off work at 4pm. I will show the router on video, then walk up stairs, hold the phone in landscape and show that none of my bars disappear. Do I get anything in return or do I just prove I'm not a liar? I am really not trying to knock anyone here but I find it odd that we can all buy top of the line phones but still use shifty routers. A goog router will make your life a lot better for a fraction of the cost for your phone. I suggest everyone get into the year 2011 and atleast by a N router, if not a dual band N router.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Ok that. WEll, hes next to the router, so thats why the wifi dont die, but I garuntee that if he goes in another room it will die. WE need to see where his router is before we judge if his connection never drops. I bet hes in the same room.

WIfi analyzer vs my vibrant is amazing. Vibrant perfect barely loses db. Now the sensation loses 20 no problem. So in a room with wifi it will be connected, but in a room with less signal, you will cover the signal and kill it. It shouldnt be like that.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
You've identified why people are reporting different experiences, which is exactly what I said. If the signal is strong then the connection won't drop. If it's weak enough at max then it will drop.

The loss of about 20-25dB by holding the phone certain ways is known, and isn't likely to vary much be getting your 4th or 5th Sensation. You could try holding it differently, or maybe some types of cases (with or without PT :) ) may help. Or you can get a router with a stronger signal.

Whether or when HTC will do anything to fix or improve the issue remains to be seen.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Maybe Ill try a stronger router. Im going to try a few locations with wifi, if it perfoms bad, Bye Bye. My other phones pick up wifi outside buildings.

Your right, if i hold it in portrait its strong, but I shouldnt need to do that. Ever.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Your right, you shouldn't need to hold it differently to hold a WiFi signal. Do you still want me to make a video showing that non of my bars drop while on a different floor from my router.

I actually get a stronger WiFi signal on my Sensation than I do on my G2X.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Please, I would love that... Cause if so I just need a stronget router even though my other phones work fine sitting on them..
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I live in a small apartment and I have a good router (bought it like a month ago) even when I'm standing directly in front of it, the signal will drop (I watch the meter in wifi analyzer drop) If I'm in another room it drops even more. I have my phone set for max wifi performance too. One night I really noticed it while streaming a video from my computer via splashtop. Every time I held it a certain way the video would actually stutter. I wonder if the people experiencing it have some kind of grounding problem with the phone. It's not a huge issue for me because it never fully drops and when I hold it in landscape mode I just make sure My hand doesnt cover all three anntena holes on the back. It seems when your hand is in contact and covers all 3 that it drops. I should be getting another sensation on friday. I hope 1. the wifi drop isnt as bad 2. That I get the better sharp screen
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
I have one coming soon as well. Ordered today. Will see how it goes. I just don't think I should have to get a new router when my others phones work great.. I'd say grounding causeof if I put tp between my phone and case I can't get it to drop... Move the 2 layers of pt and it goes away.
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
Sounds like you should just ditch the Sensation; some feedback from my experience; I have the Rubberized case on mine and at work with the case I get about 1-2 bars of WIFI; without I get almost full.

Turning it landscape also kills the connection with case and drops to 1 bar without case so thats pretty ****ty although I don't use my phone landscape or really play games on it but for people who do I could imagine that sucking pretty hard.

Was gonna do a vid but I don't think it's really necessary. If you have a strong signal (ie sitting next to the router) your likely not going to notice anything at all; if your on a medium signal it's likely you will lose bars or total connection.

Not really sure what video proof is going to do for you however as it really doesn't matter what others are experiencing in this case outside of their verbal explanation.
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
I have to agree, this issue is annoying. In my house I have 2 MT4G's a Thunderbolt and the Sensation. None of them drop wifi signal like the sensation does.. I don't use a case and sitting 3 feet from the router I'm ok, even turning around facing away from the router at 3 feet I'm ok but it does drop a couple of bars. In other rooms I have full bars but if I cover or hold in landscape as has been shown I loose all or down to 1 bar and most of the time it will disconnect.

Not sure what type of router mine is as it is from AT&T UVERSE.

[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Thanks for the videos, I honestly don't think you can simulate the same grip with one hand. What most of us are talking about is holding it in two hands with all your finger laying flat across the back. This is where the big loss comes in. I know not possible to do holding the video camera at the same time.

Thank you anyway.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Ok man. That did the trick. Im keeping the sensation but returning it for a different one, its already in route, or been ordered from customer service.

WOW, thats night and DAY from mine. IM gonna do the almost exact video. MY place is dirtier though. LOL I think you will be surprised how crappy mine is.

By the way, the way you did the video was perfect. Showed the router and distance and different rooms.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
No, well at least not mine. I can do it easily with one hand. Im taking video now. Ill upload shortly. Your all gonna laugh at this crappy device i got. Hell in the bathroom next to the router it almost dies.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nope, it doesn't matter if your holding it with one or two. My first two Sensations had it bad and would drop out as soon as I held the top half of the phone. Your bottom hand has nothing to do with it being that the WiFi receiver and connections are at the top of the phone where I was holding it. I'll gladly prove you wrong with another video though. :D
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Damn, next to the router? That sucks. I can putthe device between my thighs while next to the router and it still doesn't drop. No, I am not making a video of me holding the device between my thighs!:D:D
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Ok, thanks for the info.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
So I read you're going back to the G2X? So you and jwin might be trading the g2x for your sensation? When I saw your post on the g2 forum I thought about trading you, but I like having the two different devices ad honestly go back and forth between the two :-P Some times when one of my batteries is dead I just grab the other phone, plop my sim and sd card in and go :-) When I have my g2x there are things I really miss about the sensation, when I have my sensation there are things I miss about my g2x.. can we just Frankenstein these devices together? I think I'd have the ultimate device..... for now... lol

[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
Dude how are you guys holding your phone ? I try to choke my phone to see if I can loose my signal. The worst I get is a drop of 1 or 2 bars. Nothing really noticeable. This phone has the best signal out of my past phones though I guess it is not saying much. My previous phones were G1 and the Mytouch3G. You might wanna look into changing your sim card

So I left my tab on the multimedia charging dock overnight only to wake up this morning to the battery still at 4%! I did not turn it off though. Has this happened to anyone? The tablet is 10 days old.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
The fact that it didn't completely drain to 0% makes me think that perhaps you didn't use the Samsung supplied wall plug?

The tab does not need to be powered off to charge, however you need to use a 5v 2a wall plug to charge the tablet. It sounds like your tablet was getting a small amount of juice that kept it from going to zero so perhaps the wall unit you used was 1a or .7a?

If not, I'm not sure what the problem was, but I never power my tab off and it has no problem charging with the supplied equipment.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] redrecordplayer:
I was using the Samsung wall adapter, but there is a USB cable extender (cable is too short) in between the adapter and the tab USB cable. I will try again later without the extender and see what happens...

Attention XDA: Here's your chance everyone to get us a custom case option for the ThunderBolt.

We need alot of votes and each person is entitled to drop 10 votes total if they want.

So, I created a suggestion thread that CaseMate will consider and may even put into production if there are enough votes.

Vote here! http://uservoice.com/a/9xBSz

Basically the "I Make My Case" by CaseMate is where you can put any design of ANYTHING you want onto your case, including color choice, texture and style.

We can get this option if we get enough votes since CaseMate lets the community vote on new products/ideas and whoever has the most votes or enough votes, can get the product put into production.

Here's a great review/article about the whole thing including a video on what all you can do. Prices range from $34.99 to $39.99 but can vary depending on how big the phone may be, and so far, there are no other phones other than iPhone that have this option.

http://www.appscout.com/2010/01/hands_on_with_case-mates_iphon.php

Sorry to post an iPhone article but so far its the only phone they have support for for this custom case.

But again, we can all change that!

Vote at the link to make our phone the first (again!) to be the only non-iPhone device with this option.
