[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyccchina:
cannot put update file on G tablet

I was trying to reset from factory rest but failed when my gtablet stucked and apparently did something wrong along the way. Now when I turn it on, I get the 3 birds screen, followed by G-Tabdevs screen, then dead. I do have clockwork mod installed on it.

1 when I clicked factory rest, it just return to the manue and said cannot find the file.

2 when I did a back up, it went through boot image,recovery image,system and then taskbar stopped in the half at settings.apk and then dead.

3 when I tried to followed this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

to use the external tf card to flash, Gtablet doesnot recogonize the external card, while I can read all the files in gtablet. I can copya single small file but cannot paste a recovery and update.zip on gtablet. Each time I copied a file from gtablet, then it is dead. I have to return on by pressing power and volume+.

4 I tried adb to push update.zip to gatblet,also failed. I feel my gtablet can only allows me to read it and refuse me to do anything on it.

Any ways to reboot my gatblet brick?

Please help! I've been reading forums all weeks trying to figure out how to fix it and am not having any luck!

Appreciate any suggestions

Remove any external SD cards from the slot, then boot into CWM, and:

1. Re-partition the internal SD card.

2. Format /cache ("mounts and storage" menu).

Your CM7 should go back to looking like a fresh install (if there are no HW problems, that is).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyccchina:
Thanks when I boot into CWM and I have the main manu at this picture

1. Re-partition the internal SD card.

If I click on reboot system now, it came into a new page says reboot system now then dead

Apply sdcard:update.zip it came into a page and then says now such file then I can go back to the main manu

Wipe cahe partition: there is partition the sd-card and click on it, it shows some partition options then clicked it and it is dead

2. Format /cache ("mounts and storage" menu).

This part I finished it which said " Done "

Appreciate your help very much

Or is possible that Flash ic is down? Is flash ic the internal sdcard? In that case, can I replace the flash ic so that my g tablet will work agin?

Thanks for your help
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I don't know why you seem to have selected every menu item in the CWM main menu, when you only had to partition the (internal) SD card which is under the "advanced" menu entry.

This is correct.

Do both steps--repartition internal SD card and format /cache--again. See if CM7 starts working properly. If it does not, then we'll have to look at the hardware for problems.

PS. Use plain JPEG files instead of MS-WORD doc files if you want me to look at screenshots. I have a Unix system, so .doc files are no use to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyccchina:
Thanks a lot. I clicked on the advanced manu and then partition manu and then exit size screen. Then I clicked on 128 M then went to swap size screen and I clicked on 256M then it went to picture 5 and if I clicked on 0M it went to picture 6. Both picture 5 and picture 6 were dead. I have to reboot to CWM main manu again.

Also I can read the files and copy little about one file each time from the G tablet sd card. Cannnot paste on update.zip file and recovery file onto G tablet sd card.

I read some thing the flash IC might be down. I don't knowif the flash IC is the sd card? Any way to get my brick back to life?

Thanks again for your help and your patience.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
1. The fact that you mentioned "G-Tabdevs" in post #82, and you have CWM-3.0.2.8 installed, leads me to think that you have some version of VEGAn-Tab installed rather than CyanogenMod 7 as you stated.

2. The sizes you've selected are incorrect. "Ext" size should be >= 2048M and "Swap" size should be 0M.

3. Your description is not clear. Did the re-partition operation complete successfully? Post a screenshot.

Again, not clear. Is this in the ROM or in CWM? To transfer files onto the SD card in CWM, you have to select the "mount USB storage" option in "mounts and storage" first.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyccchina:
Thanks as usual for your kindness.

Now I followed "Ext" size should be >= 2048M and "Swap" size should be 0M but it is dead.The repartition is not completed . It get stucked and dead. I have to power off.

I used a desktop and in the CWM mode via"mount USB storage" option in "mounts and storage" first to reach the G tablet sdcard and move my pictures out. But can not put update.zip onto it.

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
OK. Time to check the internal SD card.

1. Get me a dmesg using adb while in CWM and post the dmesg.txt file:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]

2. Post the exact outputs, or screenshots of the CMD.exe window, of these test commands.

3. Do the same for this definitive test of the internal SD card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Again, I need the exact error messages, or screenshots of the Windows CMD.exe window to make a correct determination of what's wrong here, but, it seems like you have not installed ADB. You can't run any of my tests without ADB installed. Install ADB.

If you have trouble installing ADB on windows, try doing the tests using Linux, instead (you don't have to install anything--neither Linux, not ADB--with this method).

Not clear. What about step 2? Did you do it? What do you mean by the same result as above. Please post exact output or screenshots of the CMD.exe window.

This was unnecessary. There's no point in installing the stock ROM or stock recovery. You should, instead, concentrate on getting me the exact outputs of the commands in post #90.

Not really sure where this topic should go but I was wondering if there was a way to manually input my contact's number and still have their facebook profile pic show up as the picture in my contacts app?

I tried syncing my FB account to my contacts which kinda worked. but most of my friends don't put their cellphone numbers there and I end up with lots of empty contacts with just a link to their FB (but with the always changing profile pic and status updates)... It would have been nice if I could sync FB to contacts first and then add their phone numbers after but it says that I can't edit FB info on my device.

I tried doing it on Gmail but the synced FB accounts wouldnt show up in my gmail contacts. Is there a way to do create a contact on the phone and link it to an FB account? Adding someone's facebook profile URL just creates a hyperlink in my contacts which will be launched by the browser... I just want their profile pic (birthdays, emails, etc would be a bonus)

I decided to ask here if there was an easier option before I go and look for pictures of everyone I know and manually adding each to the contact app on my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] st3inn:
I have all my contacts with phone numbers stored as Google/Gmail contacts.

I also have a FB account set up on the phone.

To join the two in Contacts:

1) in Contacts -> Menu button -> Display Options -> check All Contacts under FB account and relevant group under Google account (in my case "System Group: My Contacts")

2) go back to (overpopulated) contacts list, and one by one, select Google contacts (long press) -> edit contact -> Menu button -> Join -> select FB contact for same person

3) when done, repeat 1) except uncheck All Contacts under FB account

4) ???

5) Profit! (ie. editable contacts with FB info attached)

Should work the same with PC Sync contacts methinks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Follow these steps. For the first time it would be tough doing for all your contacts. But once done, you need not worry about it again.

1. The reason for separate phone-number contacts and facebook contacts is because of the name mismatch. So rename all your contacts with the exact name as their facebook profile.

2. Now you'll have phone-number contacts and facebook contacts, with same names. Now join the contacts one by one.

3. Make sure you're creating all the contacts under your Google account.

4. Next time when you flash a rom or do something, turning ON google sync and facebook sync would automatically bring up the contacts joined.

5. The only problem will be when your friend changes his/her profile name in facebook, in which case you've to rename your phone-number contacts to the new name. But this doesn't happen always.

The process is so complex because the system assumes that the facebook profile name and the phone number contact's name would always be the same, which may not be the case in most of the scenarios. Because I would prefer to store my girl friend's name as Sweetie (or something similar:D) instead of her full name. But if you want to see some data integrity in the contacts list, then no other choice, renaming the contacts names as per the facebook profile name is the way to go.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
better option. join all contacts one by one. no need to rename. Remember to take backup once done and upload that backup .csv to gmail. next time u wont see dup/mismatch etc.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
Thank you guys ^_^ I'm joining and/or erasing contacts one by one... Hope this works.

I'm hoping that their profile pic will change on my phone when it changes on FB but I still get to choose what name comes out in my contacts.

The only downside is having to create a new contact on my phone for those people who are on my FB list first, since I can't add numbers to them right away.

EDIT: Ok new quirk that I don't know how to fix... How about if the phone number on FB is outdated? I can't erase it alone without having the entire FB profile go with it. I can add the new number to the FB profile though. Will setting the new number as default make the old number disappear from the options (SMS, Call)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
Suppose you have a contact "aa" (gmail or phone) and the facebook profile of that contact is "bb"

Select the "aa" contact, select edit- join - select bb" done. This will merge the contacts, even though they have different names.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Setting one number as default will show only that number when you use the sms/call popup on a contact. If you go to that contact's view, you can see all the numbers.

In your phone app, if you have smart dial, when you start entering the contact's name, all the numbers will come up.

Similarly in the SMS app, if you enter the contact name in the receipient filed, all the numbers would be shown in the option.

And do not worry what will happen if the FB profile pic is changes. When you turn ON auto-sync, it will automatically updated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
Yeah I got that part. I'm working my way through the list and making new contacts for the FB only people and merging the new contact with the FB profile. This way, I can eventually add their numbers to the contact.

I tried calling and texting my friend who has 2 numbers (one old and one I'm sure is active) and made the active number default. Looks like it did the trick. The old number doesn't pop up anywhere.

Now all that's left is to find the willpower to finish fixing my contacts and syncing them back to my Gmail :p Thank you everyone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seihaku:
Anyone else having an issue with the "missed call" notifications on stock? I'm using a replacement dialer (Go Dialer, was a nice transition from an HTC), and when I pull down the system menu and hit the Missed Call it loads fine and shows me who called. The problem is, unless I go to the default android Phone app, the missed calls keep piling up, and I see no options within the default android dialer to fix this. This was never a problem in Froyo.

I've tried a couple other dialers with similar results. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
Sounds like an issue with the dialer app not notifying the system that it has viewed the call log. I would suggest sending the dev of GoDialer an email.

okay. Different method. Download this (rename it to splash1.img for simplicity) and put in c: and download the fastboot.exe attached and put it in c: (remember to unzip it)

boot into fastboot mode (power off, hold back + power) and plug in via usb

open cmd and type:

cd\
fastboot flash slpash1 slpash1.img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
uhm, you do realize, that kuljit55 wants to change the bootanimation, not the splash-screen?

Can't help you with your question tho.

Edit: I'm having the suspicion, that you just need to drop the zip-file into /data/local .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
crap, my bad got confused (that's why I gave android flasher in the first place).. lol sorry ^_^
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
In /data/local or /system/media you should find a file called bootanimation.zip. Replace this file with yours and reboot. Now you should see the new bootanimation.

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Nope, not in Oxygen. I think the oxy-bootanimation is in the framework-file, but if you put a bootanimation.zip into /data/local, your phone should show this animation during bootup instead of the original one
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yeah, that's right. Had a bootanimation.zip file in /data/local from old theme there. I just deleted it, rebooted and the original bootanimation is shown. By implication this means, when you put a bootanimation.zip in /data/local, this one should be shown.

[G Tablet General] roberto188:
After having the Gtab for 6 months and putting Calkin's rom on it, I love it. Works great, and thanks to the dev community I'm confident at some point we will have a perfectly working honeycomb rom (the guys over at tabletroms have a somewhat working honeycomb kernel for the notion ink adam with hardware acceleration). However, as everyone here knows, Viewsonic's support is non-existent.

So...when I decided to buy a High Def projector for my home it came down to the Optoma HD20 and the ViewSonic Pro8200. Both priced below $1000 with similar specs, the Viewsonic actually being slightly cheaper with slightly better specs. However, with my recent experience with Viewsonic not supporting the Gtab, I was skeptical. Sure enough, after reading a few reviews, the responses were that the projector had great hardware and was fantastic....when it worked. Apparently the firmware would forget settings, change aspect ratios, etc. When people who bought the projector complained...Viewsonic said to return it. What they got back was a REFURBISHED firmware updated projector with a noisy fan. As a result Optoma will be getting my $850 not Viewsonic. Another lost customer...forever. I hate Viewsonic!

It's sad I know. Customer service & support is probably the biggest issue that can make or break a users confidence in a company, even if the hardware purchased has great specs.

Hi guys,

I have a problem connecting my phone I9100 with my car (opel Astra H), it has on board bluetooth. The devices found each other and paired but after a few seconds, they disconect. I had the same problem with my old phone - iphone 3gs but it had a option not to sync the phonebook/contacts. With that option on, no more disconecting.

Is there a way to do the same thing with samsung galaxy s2? I have rooted my phone and even bought "bluetooth fix repair" - who require root but didnt work.

Hi Emanuel,

I'm the developer of the App, and i saw that you've bought the Paid version, even after testing the Free version and it didn't work for you.

I don't know why you've done it, but ok, mistakes happen.

I am willing to return you the 2€ through paypal, and I hope that with this attitude you will reconsider your feedback rating of the Paid version.

May I remind you:

- There is a free version to test. Give your ratings there.

- I assume that if you buy the paid version it is because the fix works OK for you.

- Don't rate the Paid version as unsuccessful since the Fix is made by the Free version, not by the unlocker

Send me your paypal address, I will exceptionally send you the money back.

Regards,

Phk

That's the problem with stock apps if there are changes made with the 3rd party source it takes an entire firmware change to correct the issue with the stock app. Wish they went thru market so fixes can be made on the fly.
