[Thrive General] DanHayman:
This sounds scarry

I just got my thrive today. I am having the same problem with the sleep mode/button. At least now I know that its not a defective tablet per se. However, this solution seems a bit drastic--not that I am unwilling to try, but I would like to understand the logic behind why this works and how persistent the "fix" is. Also, has anybody else tried this?

Thanks, Dan
[Thrive General] hobbiteer:
I have performed the "fix" and can safely say that I have not had the problem fo r the let few days. So it seems to be working and sticking just fine.
[Thrive General] fullmetal2k:
I have a question guys what kind of video format does it read?? and it read regular .avi or does it need to be converted to an specific type?
[Thrive General] hobbiteer:
Native support... mp4 and wmv. But all my avi files are divx/xvid encoded so it may work with a different encode or codec.

But that is native support. I installed vplayer and it plays my avi files, mkv files, f4v files, really any file I found on my computer.

Really I love that app so much now.
[Thrive General] williambs:
Got my Thrive today and I am enjoying it!

Let's start a forum devs?........please!
[Thrive General] FierceDeity:
Got my Thrive yesterday and it has been great so far.

Did have the sleep bug hit me once earlier but I have no fear XD.

I would like to see a dedicated forum up soon!

Anyone have any ideas for streaming video over wifi?

I used gmote last night but it's annoying because you can't fast forward with any form of accuracy.
[Thrive General] davin8r:
Can't someone ban this troll?
[Thrive General] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Only one I can confirm it won't play for me so far is .MOV files straight from my camera SD card. Just didn't want to read them.
[Thrive General] hobbiteer:
Feel free to post in my thread or this thread for that... or both...

Also, feel free to post in my thread or this thread for that... or both...

As for the streaming media via wifi I've been using ArcMC... but I have a WD MyBook Live that doubles with Twonky Media Server for the streaming.
[Thrive General] Mattamizer:
Ad Hoc question

Let me preface my question by saying that I was also bitten by the sleep bug and the battery removal trick did NOT work for me, however the wi-fi sleep set to never did.

My question is this: I use barnacle wi-fi on my Atrix for all my wi-fi on the go needs, but I cannot seem to get my Thrive to see the network. I looked through all the options I could find in the settings and didn't see anything that would help to get me connected. Thoughts?
[Thrive General] o>c:
I have stated my wish in the two posts hobbiteer mentioned.

Really, the Thrive is a device that has great potential, is XDA got worries over its resources or is under some pressure?
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Thrive won't see ad-hoc networks(no Android device will) untill rooted and pushing a modified wifi configuration file.

Alot of android phones can broadcast infrastructure mode but it seems the older ones can't Try updating to the latest non-beta "wireless tether for android" and see if you have the option for infrastructure mode.
[Thrive General] Mattamizer:
Yet another reason to hope for root on the Thrive soon. Thanks for the info :)
[Thrive General] GuitarrassDeAmor:
I doubt it is a forum limitation, but if they have a need for a moderator or something, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a respected member of the community to do it fairly easily.
[Thrive General] hobbiteer:
Thank you much oc. I had my thread merged with the older (thus original) thread. And then the thread itself was moved to the about section for the simple reason the guy who makes forums looks there. The new, combined thread is right here. If you have already posted then there is no need to do so again, however if you have not, please go add a request post to the thread. :-)
[Thrive General] drum747:
Absolutely love my Thrive! Come on Xda!
[Thrive General] -=chad=-:
+1 for adding a Thrive section.

It's ridiculous that this new android tablet is excluded from the forum list, especially when other android tablets were added as soon as they had a release date.

Come on Admins, give us Thrive owners a section.
[Thrive General] omgitswes:
Today has been the first day I've noticed reboots. It's happened twice today. Not sure what's going on.
[Thrive General] o>c:
Would anyone summarize the SOD problem please? These are the points I would like to know:

1. It happens regardless of apps are installed or not, SOD also happens on devices with only stock apps.

2. SOD happens without turning wifi on as well.

3. Charging when power on triggers SOD.

4. Random reboots and SOD are related.

Just to imagine there are dozens of Thrives collected from customers lying in Toshiba 's lab, some cracked open and others keep waking and sleeping among control groups. The Toshiba has delayed release in its home country probably because they noticed what happened in Aus and the US, hope their engineering teams don 't act like the Japanese govt in dealing with the nuclear fallout.
[Thrive General] o>c:
Now a new update is out, but users report that the SOD issue is yet to be fixed:(
[Thrive General] fredderf81:
had no issues

i have had the thrive for about a week now...i use it at home and for work issues. i have yet to have any problems listed on some forums about reboots, sleep, etc. i have actually beat the hell out of the screen and not scratched it at all. i saw one post about not wanting it if its not glass?? erm. i have worked with many mobile devices over the years and i do NOT want a screen make of glass. some type of poly-plastic component that is hard and somewhat flexible for those of us who travel around with our tablets please and thank you.

that being said, it WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FORUM for the thrive community. the more google updates android, the less i feel i need to root though. every time an android update gets released it seems they include an update to software that includes something we could only accomplish with root. for instance, ntfs hard drives and streaming from sd cards...will now be available with the 3.2 update. the only reason i would like to root the device is to get rid of the bloatware CRAP that vendors insist on shipping with all their devices.

i'm also not sure why this is such a difficult task to accomplish. when i purchase a PC i can put whatever version of windows....or linux, or whatever OS i decide on the computer...i purchased it, i own it. likewise i can simply put a blank HD in it. its my tablet, why not put what i want on it? i understand the root concept on phones because the cell companies want their junk to be used on it and there is the whole tether restriction garbage. but for tablets? root access should simply come with it.
[Thrive General] russrob:
+1 for the XDA Thrive section.

I'm flabbergasted one has not been created yet.
[Thrive General] flipper44:
Pleeeeeease

Please Get this Done.
[Thrive General] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Are any developers considering the Thrive or..?
[Thrive General] budney:

[Thrive General] omgitswes:
itching to get this thing rooted so naturally my first stop is here.

took a google search to find this thread :( this is not okay.
[Thrive General] moe3754:
I cannot understand why this forum that I once thought was a well rounded forum would chose to ignor one of the better Android tablets, they even had a forum for that new Samsung long before it was released but nothing for us, it almost seems like someone is getting their palms greased just to keep it out of here!!! I have to say that as time goes along and they keep ignoring it they are becoming more questionable, the new thrive forum has even put out that they would make developers welcome there and that the members there are willing to chip in money to get a well rounded developer a Thrive to develop with!!!!

If it were not for the Cordroid team and the great rom they have for my inspire I would just forget about XDA!!!!
[Thrive General] andy22:
Yes there should be a forum for the Thrive. It is a new device and people need to buy it in order to develop for it. Dilligaf says he will look into it. We should ask him to visit the other forum.
[Thrive General] fullmetal2k:
Bad speakers on Thrive

I have to go to best buy and exchange my thrive since my left speaker blew out with only a week of use, this tablet really has some bad speakers I mean my mytouch 4g has a better speaker than this tablet. This is the only con I have on this tablet besides the sleep bug which only happened a few times for my first week, overall I still love this tablet just hope we get some devs on this soon.
[Thrive General] drum747:
Hello? Come on guys, the Thrive should have had a forum 2 weeks ago! What's the deal?
[Thrive General] flipper44:
The thrive is being used to make other roms bring people to 3.1 and fix sdcard and USB issues, but they won't create a forum...yet some 6 yr old phones still have them.

Not very reasonable, they put tablets not out up before they arrive, and abondon a brisk selling tab?

Why forum why?
[Thrive General] moe3754:
I think that it is time for us thrive owners to abandon XDA and go here and throw our support to them, they will get developers and for any developer that does not have one of the Thrives, the members have said that they would pitch in and get him one. http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/forum.php

I have already joined that forum and will forget about XDA, I can get coredroid from Rom Manager on my phone!!!

SEE YA XDA!!!!:mad:

does 3G dongles work on Android devices ?

since Thrives dont have any placeto my sim card, I was hoping if USB 3G dongles works on it .
[Thrive General] originalone:
3g can be added with patch? it is standard for android 3 and works on other tablets. so thrive got it, if patch is used.

i think i saw this info in asus and acer tablet forum, and since we all got same tablet, it works?
[Thrive General] mingkee:
I am curious about "no lock" app. Can it be used with Thrive?

You can wake phone/tablet and go directly to last screen (no lock screen), so I am wondering can "no lock" be a workaround for sleep issue?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanley Richards:
I've tried around 5-6 ROMs. My two favorite ones so far are Wolfbreak's TW007 and EWJet xKernal. I have noticed that EWJet xKernal has a smooter UI but not as great battery life compared to Wolfbreak's TW007. (Also the fact that the latter is 2.2)

I'm looking for the best ROM that fits these criteria:

- It doesn't have to have the smoothest of UIs. I don't need to be able to literally blow the screen to flip homescreens.

- I want something that is FPS uncapped.

- It has to have an improved battery life and tweaks.

- I do not mind an ugly user interface or ones that are very easy to navigate. I do not mind learning new things so long as I don't have to climb mount everest to navigate through.

- I do a lot of gaming, so something that has less lag during gaming would be much appreciated.

- I prefer the ROM to come without it's own custom music app like EWJet's UberMusic. I bought PowerAMP and I'm loving it.

- It does not have to have the best camera or video camera ever. I don't often record stuff but I do often take pictures of things.

- I want a ROM whose creator is frequently working on improving the ROM and making it much better.

That and a few more trivial matters that I don't need to put on here. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynosure4sure:
Hello Everyone!

I am using Samsung Galaxy A (SHW-100s) it was launched with Samsung Galaxy S but only in Korea.

I am trying to flash it back to stock and using Odin for this method.

When I start odin it gets stuck at "Setup Connection".

It detects the the phone when i plug it in i.e. some COM port shows up. I have changed usb cable and usb port. Installed all drivers disabled Kies in background ran it as administrator but it always gets stuck at same point.

Any help or tip on the matter will be very helpful.
[HTC Sensation] JamesRC:
I absolutely love the HTC Sensation and the latest revision of Sense 3.0 - but it does have a few missing features, notably:-

Cannot edit number of homescreens

Cannot choose icon layout (e.g. X rows by Y columns)

Cannot resize widgets - they are always a predetermined size

Cannot remove widget or icon labels

I'm sure there are numerous things that can be added to the list - I plan on emailing HTC with this list so reply to this thread if you have a suggestion!

I acknowledge that these features are present in various other launchers, but without the ability to use Sense widgets in these launchers, they simply are not the same!
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
I think you can get this stuff in launcherpro or something similar..though i havent tried any of them...i will try when i get bored with sense 3.0 ....:)

ooops..i overread... you have already mentioned abt the other launchers in your last line...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moto Mouth:
I can not vouch for other methods but I have rooted this tablet with SuperOneClick ver. 2.1.1. If you leave "Exploit" on "auto" and click "root" you will be pleasantly surprised. Took me two tries, but if you turn on usb debugging in settings and leave the screen timeout on 30min your golden. Happy rooting.... I'm also uploading a google apps zip file. I unzipped it and installed all the files in the corresponding places to get a working Android Market. I used Android Commander to move the files & install apk's. *NOTE* You need to install the apps in the "/sysem/app" folder in this order...

1. GoogleServicesFramework.apk

2. OneTimeInitializer.apk

3. SetupWizard.apk

4. Talk.apk

5. Vending.apk

6. Gmail.apk

7. Maps.apk

After... Restart, Connect to wifi, and launch Market. You will be prompted to sign in to google. Then you will see Market License blah blah blah...

*Use the attached zip not the one at the following link* But use this link as a guide if you need it... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209

Have fun.

*Zip File Link*

****THIS METHOD WORKED FOR MY IMPRESSION 10 MODEL # i10-50, but UNTESTED by me on other models****

***EDIT*** Sorry guys... you were unlucky because I forgot something crucial.... THE DARN ADB DRIVER.... You will need to go into the device manager and right click the "Android" device with exclamation mark & click update driver. Search for the driver and point the installer to this folder should work on 32 & 64 bit if my edits are correct... Tested on 64 bit Windows 7.

DRIVER

Also when you install those "/system/app" files above use Android Commanders "Installer" and install them one at a time in the order above. AND AFTER YOU RESTART USE LAUNCHER AND NOT SETUP OR YOU CAN'T ACTIVATE YOUR WIFI.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonkastocks:
I tried both methods,

SuperOneClick and Gingerbreak both did not work.

The table is running android 2.3.1.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moto Mouth:
Do you have usb debugging turned on, and did you use the latest version of SuperOneClick. For me it stalled when my screen timeout was to short and locked me out of my tablet when the screen cut off. Second time around it looked like it was going to fail, stalled and then prompted me to ok the install of busybox... etc etc. I am also running android 2.3.1 and it worked for me. Just have to keep trying till you get it.

leader Impression I10-50 firmware update

In order for the firmware update to be completed successfully, u need to first format your sd card via sd card reader or your tablet as follows:

Plug in the tablet via usb to your PC or load your card reader with sd card

Then select and left click whatever removable disk drive your tablet shows up

Select format and make sure the file system is set at FAT32

Select start, your sd card should begin formating.

Once complete, then u follow the 13 steps, but since you have already started step 1-13, just press your -volume and power buttons at the same time (steps 11 and 12 again) and it should update your tab. Be sure to do it twice as far as the volume and power button go so the update completes successfully.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenMC:
I cannot seem to get this thing to root....tried the above with the external sd unmounted and then removed. Followed the instruction on the gtab post. All I can see is the external sd card. It did install superuser. Without the sd it gets stuck at Step 6.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TC93:
Thanks for the reply. About that file program you used, the only one I can find with a similar name is "ES File explorer". Is that the one you used?

I can't get it to copy the files over in the system directory, it acts like its write protected and fails the copy. I must be doing something wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenMC:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenMC:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TC93:
I'll probably just give up on this. This still isn't wanting to write/copy the files. This is the whole reason I returned my Nook Color before because of the hassle it takes to do this.

edit: it copies a few files, but then some files it says it failed.. like the "maps.apk" file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenMC:
Had a few apk's not move as well. I think map was one of them. Just followed the install order and did those from the external sd.....all worked out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TC93:
Thank you for your help. I finally got it working, I spent hours on this.

But I decided to try that original posts recommendation of using the program "Android Commander". I had to search to find it, but its a Windows program that makes it much easier to copy files over to the root directory. (although I had to change a setting it in so that it auto closes the log window after it copies, otherwise you can't close the log window, or do anything else until its closed).

I wasn't able to copy the maps with that either though, it gave the error that there wasn't enough space. But it seems to be working fine now.

Impression i10-50

I bought the i10-50 and actually love the tablet. With google market installed (update firmware first), I have full access to the market and no problems installing apps. The only con about the tab is no gps. To install the market, I only downloaded the google apps file and installed the apks in the correct order and that was it. No need to root. I am truly enjoying this tab now.
