[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicVagabond:
Thanks, will do. I only flashed this last night so not alot of time to tinker around with it. I too had no trouble with

Playon working until now so i assumed it was a glitch in the ROM. I will make sure I am updated and see if that helps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmicVagabond:
Just tried playon again after making sure the plugin was up to date on my pc. It does work but it does not show a preview frame in the menu box just prior to watching a video. it is blank where the frame should be but has the description of the video below it as usual. I tapped where you would normally see the preview frame and a play arrow and the video played as usual. This was not a problem for music where I had album art for each song. I was just assuming that where it didn't have the preview frame and a play button it wasn't going to load the video. :rolleyes:

weatherbug FC on me everytime i load it.

lots of random CNN FC

on load, gallery and launcher FC

gun bros FC whenever i try to open it

but really fast and quick and responsive. anyone replicate these errors?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m-jeri:
If i do the wipe now.. i will lose all the apps and stuff r8?

Or is it recommended to wipe storage and reinstall the apps? Can I use CWM mod for doing this?

Also when i was running CPU benchmark i saw the cpu speed was 1 Ghz. but someone said this rom overclocks it. I didnt see anything like that. And that was the only app where i can get my CPU speed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numberingravens:
I am also experiencing the CNN FC, but the ROM is fantastic. Speedy and responsive. This us the third HC ROM I've tried and I'm going to stay with it for awhile. Videos work great, very few FC. I don't know if its the ROM or the CNN app but I'm not able to watch the videos on it, not a huge deal for me though. Thank you for all your hard work.

How do you disable the gallery so that there isn't a FC at startup?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrix38:
the problem with your weather bug is probably the location is set to auto go into manage programs and force close then clear data then restart weather bug and uncheck the location check box it should work fine then you just have to go into settings and enter your location I hope this helps
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtang:
I removed the gallery app using Titanium Backup. Then I downloaded QuickPic from the Market which is a much better app for viewing photos. Now I don't get the gallery FC at startup anymore.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die Fledermaus:
Solved

It seems once I wiped all of the caches, wiped the /system and /boot and reapplied the ROM again all is well now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
Use "my fake location" app (free in marketplace), it provides a fake GPS location to applications - some apps FC on the gtab because it lacks a GPS, this gets you past that. Then check settings in the app having problems, and either disable location, or set the app to use wifi location only.

The newer tablet version of Gmail is fantastic looking...but it doesn't search contacts. Does anyone know a way around this our how to fix it? I don't know if I need to find a honeycomb version of Gmail, but without contact search the the email app its virtually useless.

Clean WIPE = GOOD INSTALL

For anyone that is considering installing this (or almost any other ROM), or if you have installed a custom ROM and have a weird or continuing problem, you likely did not do a complete wipe before the install.

Wiping the GTab is roughly equivalent to FORMATTING a hard disk. It is daunting and everyone wants to avoid it.

HOWEVER, it is the only way to assure that you get a good flash and that your install is problem-free!

I have outlined the process here: Format the GTab? Check it out.

In the article, I described all the confusion of the internal/external SD Cards, the various partitions, and what can be "wiped" without loosing your configuration.

This should help all GTab users. BTW, if you find any errors (or have any additions), please leave a comment.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Lockup Issues Resolved!

I have finally resolved my lockup issues!

This may also be related to some of the Sleep Of Death (SOD) issues.

I noticed that the GTab was getting warm when I was getting the lockups. Either I would have left the GTab in an un-air-conditioned area, in direct sunlight, or similar - or, I might have been putting a heavy load on the CPU, based on what I was doing with the device.

Two things seem to have contributed to the lockups. First, I used SETCPU to drop the max speed to 1200 (rather than the "standard" overclock speed of 1400). The second issue (I think) is related to the carbon fiber skin that is installed on my GTab. It looks nice and probably adds some protection but I believe that is reduces the heat dissipation and therefore contributes to the overheating via the overclock speeds.

I would like to hear from others who have experienced the lockup issues. Are you overclocking to 1400? If you drop down to 1200 does that help? Is heat an issue for you? Do you have the carbon fiber skin?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshftx:
I, too, have problems with CNN tablet app. However, the CNN for phone app works OK and can play videos too. I also can't seem to get Sirius/XM official app to log in.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
Tablet version of GMail APP

First, you do have the honeycomb version of GMAIL if you installed this ROM.

Second, you may be trying to make it more difficult than it is. To use the contacts, just click on the plus sign at the top to start a new email. Then start to type the name of your contact, the app will then offer links to all of your contacts that meet that "filter".

Example: If you start to type Ra... it will offer RAY, RAYMOND or whatever - in either the first or last name or in the email address. Just click on the one you want, or continue typing until the filter limits the options to the one you are looking for.

I'm really happy with the ROM, except battery life while sleeping. I have the wireless set to go off with sleep, yet lose approx 40% of battery life overnight.

I tried a task killer and that didn't help really.

The battery usage stats aren't working in this ROM, so I can't tell what's using all the battery.

Any ideas?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
Are you using 3.3 or an older version of the ROM? I noticed terrible battery life with 3.1, but 3.2 and 3.3 have been great.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
I am using 3.3. 3.2 and 3.1 had the same battery issue for me

Again this is a great ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numberingravens:
The battery drain was the main reason I switched from Flashback to GtabComb. I was experiencing significant battery drainage overnight and since I switched I've had no problems. Videos play, Gmail works great, and the battery is fantastic.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
If it has been sleeping only, then you've lost 72% which is 36% per day. If you have been using it, that is a different story.

I lost 11% in the last 3 hours with it in sleep mode.

I looked at running services, and there isn't anything unusual. My clock/weather widget and Friendcaster I guess are somewhat suspect. I am going to try uninstalling those and see what happens.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtang:
For another data point, I lose about 5-7% overnight in sleep mode.

I can not get this to install on my gtablet. I have bootloader 1.1 with clockwork recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 . I cleared cache , wiped factory data , dalvik and formatted the sdcard . When I try to install it the zip is bad. I tried re-downloading with the same result.

Any ideas?

The previous version 3.2 installs fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin88ca:
My experience with this ROM is that overnight battery drain is about 10%. I usually sleep for 9 hours.

I love this ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
I don't wanna disappoint you, but I think heat issue is standard issue of GTab. It's just about how lucky each of us was with the CPU, whether it produces more or less excessive heat.

I also have carbon fiber skin, but I didn't notice any change in overheating after its application. Technically you are right, plastic foil should definitely worsen heat dissipation, but I don't think the difference is that big to even notice it.

Sometimes CPU overheats that fast, that back cover is barely starting to warm-up. So as I already posted in O/C thread, until we invent some solid cooling, we will have these issues.

And to answer you last question, I have default O/C to 1400MHz. Occasionally my GTab freeze because of overheating, but until I put really heavy load on CPU (like Flash HD), I am OK.

It was much worse with older kernels without that automatic O/C daemon, when I used SetCPU to configure O/C. But since I stopped using any external app for O/C and just rely on that smart O/C daemon, I almost got rid of freezes.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljc70:
That is about what I was getting when running GingerTab.

I am losing about 6% per hour now. I uninstalled my weather clock/widget and Friendcaster. The only processes running are:

Maps

Google Services

Swiftkey

Gmail
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtang:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edirector:
Thanks, and the comments they were funny.

"We have released the G Tab as an Android 2.2 product and will continue to support it as such."

Are they joking? Most hardware companies offer software updates no matter what it shipped with. Just imagine if Apple just put out iphone or ipad with no product updates. The point VS is shoring up your product after purchase. They will never get through all those comments they may want to rethink putting up that FB page. Wow!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Same experience here. Six hours of sleep and 6% of battery lost. The less you sleep the less battery you waste :-D

Edit: Yesterday it was in sleep for 14 hours and lost 15% of battery, so generally 1% per hour lost during sleep. IMHO not bad for beta HC ROM.

@All..

I been trying to check my CPU speeds in my gtab. running GtabComb 3.3.

Used linpack, Andriod assistant etc. None shows. its always "?" marks

When finally i used CPU benchmark.

When i first used it, it was showing 1 Ghz. today its showing 1.4Ghz. Whats going on??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas0511:
Just a quick note to the developers that I enjoy your 3.3 on my Hannspad. I think g sensor and hardware acceleration are known issues shared with the other tablet siblings and will be addressed eventually. Missing support for the hardware buttons are not such an issue under Honeycomb. Thanks for combining the Adamcomb with a great kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
What was your battery life like the first time? If it was lower, it would make sense for the score to be lower, considering that the overclocking is dependant on battery life. I've noticed that Quadrant scores drop by about 1000 when the battery gets below 50%.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a14umbra:
I've been seeing the same thing. Like you, I find it not be a problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m-jeri:
Well. battery life, i charged it like every 3 days. so i guess i get around 6~8 hours. never actually timed.

Once i left it overnite for charging. got sleepy. :). but morning i say that the charge is 96% only?. does the charger cuts off at 100% and then battery takes over?.

And also yesterday when i ran the CPU benchmark i got 1200Mhz as the value. :S whats with the CPU speeds?

And also during a 300MB download yesterday, i left the tab idle. The screen went off and got locked as usual. but when i tried to wake it up using the power button, tablet restarted. second time i am getting this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyhong:
The cpu max frequency is adjusted according to your battery level. If I remember it correctly: when above 50%: 1.4GHz. between 15-50%: 1.2GHz. Below 15%: 0.9GHz.

A lot of gtab have battery level stats problem at full charge and could not be fixed by all means. Mine max out at 96% as well and never able to fix this.

When your device is at sleep mode, the cpu max frequency is 216 MHz and it might stay at this speed for up to 5s (b3.3.). When you push the power button, depends on how much background work it is running, the screen might take a while to show up (cpu is at a very low speed so that it could save you some battery when it is idle). If you are patient enough and have faith, after quick clicking on the power button you should wait a while before you long push the power button to restart it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
So, I would like to bring completely new topic. Is it only me, or you also noticed, that multitasking is almost not existent on this ROM?

I think, I heard someone much smarter than me complaining on too aggressive garbage collector which can make sense.

The issue is as following:

1. Open some spreadsheet with QuickOffice and start editing it.

2. Press "Home" button

3. Open web browser (eg. Opera), login to some webpage with values I need to use as input for further editing my local document

4. Press that smart HC "task switch" button and choose that running QuickOffice with my document

5. Uh, oh, it is opening my spreadsheet again :-O

6. WTF! My changes are gone! It looks like QuickOffice was sort of closed while I was in Opera. So do my changes again, add values I remember from that webpage. Press SAVE button;-)

7. Switch to Opera "running" in background.

8. Uh, oh, Opera is starting again and loading my page again :-O

9. WTF! I was logged out of my webpage so I need to login again and find my values.

10. Guess what will happen if I try to switch back to my spreadsheet. Yep, your right, QuickOffice is opening it again,because it was closed while I was in Opera, AGAIN!

I am sorry, but this is not what anyone can call multitasking. Even my first smartphone with Symbian S60 had better multitasking (even though it was not real, just simulated).

And what brings me back to that over aggressive garbage collector is, that when I browse some pages in a browser, then press "Home" button and then "Power" button and leave GTab sleeping for hour or more, when I come back to finish my browsing, Opera is starting as if it was never used since last boot, so with all my previously opened tabs missing.

So my first thought had been, that because GTab has only 512MB of RAM, maybe it can't handle such situation as switching between two demanding apps like QuickOffice and web browser.

But now after that killed browser while there were no other apps running I am more keen to accuse that mad garbage collector that kills everything that is not in use for a while even when there is still plenty of free memory.

So because this ROM is already matured and got rid of almost all more serious issues, I though we can start with not that serious issues like this one. This is not something new, it's just maybe more present since switching to AdamComb base, but it was there even in previous builds.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Regarding the switch to AdamComb I have one more thing that bothers me.

After switching from Ginger bread ROM (Vegan) to early GtabComb, I was really glad that I have finally ROM, where I can work on commandline using ConnectBOT.

The reason was, that "TAB" key started to work, which is invaluable helper on Linux CLI. Without that you are really slow on CLI...

But after switching to AdamComb base this functionality is missing again :-(

It's definitely not something of great importance, but if anyone knows the solution how to turn it on again, I would be really happy man! :-)

I hope it's only some configuration parameter of BASH or whatever CLI interpreter is used here, but I couldn't find it...

Try unmounting your internal storage before installing those apps.

But I thought this was fixed in 3.3. Since I upgraded from 3.1 I didn't have these errors. And I didn't wiped...

A temporary solution would be to download "button saviour" from the market.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this issue is with us since the very beginning and it prevails even after switching to different development base.

So my opinion is, that it is either caused by improper wipe before flashing or by not formatting internal storage as recommended.

First thing I would try though would be to reboot to recovery and try to wipe both caches and fix permissions, before I would go and wipe/format and flash again.

Button saviour is just a way how to live with this, not the way to fix it...

This should NOT have anything to do with multitasking. I do not have quickoffice and I use google docs, i have much more tasks running and I do not have the problem you described. All the tasks I could reached from the history list are all well kept in the previous state. However, it will be totally different if you let the tablet to sleep. Android kill nonsystem task very aggressively at sleep mode, and that is not about memory. it is about power consumption. there are some parameters that could be tweaked and some permissions that could be requested by the app to be NOT killed, but that is NOT what we want to do or what we could do.

I'm wondering if it isn't an Opera issue. I don't have that problem with Dolphin (or even the Stock browser). But then again I only use Opera when I'm going to a site I know has flash video.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Zyhong is correct about this. This looks like an application bug rather than a ROM or system problem.

The browser-not-remembering-state was a problem with the stock browser on CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and it used to irritate me too. I usually have the incognito mode turned on and the CM stock browser would go back to normal mode on all the open tabs when it was resurrected after being killed. This has been fixed on HC. The stock browser on GtabComb beta 3.3 restores the incognito mode correctly after being restarted.

If you guys really think that lack of memory is getting to be a problem, then your best bet is to compile a custom kernel with swapping enabled, set up a swap partition on the SD card and tweak the system to use this swap. My guess is that even then the gains would be marginal at best because of how Android works.
