[Atrix 4G General] ModSquad:
Weird to hear that you're having battery problems with Gingerbread, maybe perhaps that I'm on a Bell OS in Canada.

With Froyo in Canada, I was getting a max of 8-9 hours of battery life with moderate use. It was terrible.

Ever since I got my Gingerbread update, when I'm working my 12-15 hour shifts with some moderate use in the side, I'm able to get a day and a half out of my battery.

I have no idea why it does this, I do auto end some apps to keep the bloatware off until I rom my phone, but I'm enjoying this while it lasts. But I'll definitely be taking notes on how you guys are romming your phones and liking it.

Hello,

i'm looking to purchase a cheap as possible 3G HTC phone on ebay and my main purpose is going to be to use it on the Three network with 3g and tether it to my devices in the house.

[TouchPad General] ilive12:
I was thinking, that if we used chroot ubuntu and installed chromium (example here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iitOdmb6yvM)

And then installed the netflix plugin in the chrome store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...earch&hcp=main) which lets you run netflix in any chrome browser then...

Shouldn't we potentially be able to get netflix to play on the Touchpad? I havent even gotten mine yet, so i cant test this theory but it should work as far as i can tell.

~iLive12
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
That is just a wrapper for the site and does not allow Netflix to work in Linux.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
Yeah, still does not deal with the fact that no one has compiled moonlight (silverlight for linux) for ARM yet. That may be possible, but it looks like a pain in the butt. That's what really needs done, not the browser.
[TouchPad General] ilive12:
Well thats probably easier than porting all of android over, which is really the only reason i'd even want android on a touchpad :P
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Seeing as Moonlight doesn't even play Netflix now in Linux on x86 machines, I would say Android is the easier way.
[TouchPad General] ItsDon:
I use PlayOn to stream Netflix & Hulu and they both work fine on the Touchpad. I know it is an additional expense for some but I already subscribed so it was basically free for me.
[TouchPad General] ilive12:
The touchpad would probably be easier to port android however the compatibility for the Netflix app is pretty awful on android, so it's not even guarenteed that Netflix will work. We still might have to find a workaround of sorts.
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Netflix works on plenty of devices. You can side load it onto most and use it just fine. If not, there is plenty a hacked one around.
[Droid X General] mad23incredible:
I feel a little bit helpless at this point so bear with me. I have a rooted Droid X with a custom ROM running. A couple of days ago my sd card reader in my phone stopped working. I can no longer install any apps (like z4 to remove root). I also can't sbf back to stock because of the sd card as well. I have rsd lite and have the drivers but the program doesn't recognize my phone. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, SincerelyFucked
[Droid X General] blindmanpb:
Are you sure it's the phone and not the card itself?

Have you tried using another microSD card or using a card reader and hooking it up to your computer?
[Droid X General] Tone_Capone:
SBF'ing sometimes is a tricky process. For one, make sure you are running RSD as an admin. I would also find some instructions and/or videos and make sure you are doing the process correctly, mostly because I'm not sure that SBF'ing requires the sd card like you say...

I say this because I've SBF'd with no sd in the phone...

Good luck man!
[Droid X General] chbennett:
Try sbf'ing with the Linux method. It is easy, and the SD card part is unimportant.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
What ROM are you using? If it's stock B&N software, is it rooted?

If you're using CyanogenMod, then you can turn on a set of buttons in the status bar that will replace the missing hardware buttons, much like on a Honeycomb device. It's in the Settings menu under Tablet Tweaks.

If you're using stock, you can install an app called SoftKeys or Button Savior and have it pop up a set of on-screen keys (menu, search, back, home, etc) whenever you press the "n" hardware button. You won't be able to install either unless you've rooted the device first, though.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Damock:
Hi everybody, I'm very new in the root world, and I'm the proud owner of a Desire Z. I have read the AMT thread and I think that it can be my option, because it seems quite easy to use. But I have a doubt about the Downgrade option.

How it works? I need to do something more or I can downgrade to the desired firmware version with this tool?

Because I read this: "You have to use the Downgrade ROM facility first but you need to be temp or perm rooted first."

And I'm not sure if the tool it's going to make it or I need to root with another system. And I know that the right system to root it's the Wiki one, but it seems too complicated to me, because I don't know anything about ADB and the other programs.

Here it is my Desire Z:

Device Model: HTC Vision

Bootloader Version: 0.85.0010 SHIP HBOOT

Radio Version: 26.04.02.17_M2

ROM Version: 1.82.405.1

Android Version: 2.2.1

CID: HTC__304

What do you think about it?

hanks in advance and sorry about my horrible english!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Damock:
Nobody?

Nobody knows how to use the downgrade option, nobody have tried it? I can't ask in the developer thread because I'm too newbie.

Please, I need help before try it...

Okay I have a Mytouch 3G Slide Running CM7 (which is a GB 2.3.3 build). From what I hear, CM nightlies run on 2.3.5! Is there any major difference because I really want to try nightlies but if there is no point in me flashing them if there is no real difference! Also, I know that there is no such thing as a "stable" nightly, but which one (based on ones you have tested) work the best and have the fewest glitches? I dont really care about much when it comes to roms, but working Wifi, bluetooth, market and network coverage are a MUST! thank you for your help in advance :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsHegger:
I can't help choosing the best nightly, but I know a few differences. First of all these updates are only security updates, but there are a few new features too. From Android 2.3.4 apps can access the usb port of the phone, but i didnt find any app using this feature yet, and you also have to have the hardware for the app. If you ask me you shouldn't use unstable rom because it's 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.3

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snipekill:
Hi I hava gtablet with android system 2.2 Just want to know if it posible to upgrade to os system android 3.2, and how can it be done?:confused:

Sry for the question but i new in all this of android system.:confused:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
simple answer, NO

Complex Answer,

Viewsonic, the company that has their name plastered on the back of our tablets, has let us know that they are not going to be upgrading them to any Android OS higher than 2.2. They claim that it's because Nvidia (the company that created the Tegra 2 platform has said they will not provide hardre drivers for any android os higher than 2.2 on the harmony (ours) platform, and will only to it for the Ventana (Xoom, Iconia, Transformer).

However, there are some talented 3rd party developers here, and at the tabletroms forums that are working as hard as they can to attempt to get honeycomb to run on the harmony devices (Gtablet Vega, Adam). They have been able to port android 3.0 to them, but there are parts missing, namely hardware acceleration and the camera. Unless these developers start implementing portions of android 3.2 (which I believe some are) then you can't get it. There will never be an official android 3.2 update for our devices. What we'll probably end up with is an android 3.0 with aspects of 3.1 and 3.2, since htey'll be "updated" manually, but they will still lack drivers for hardware acceleration.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomguy123:
I'm sorry for the noob question but what is so different with both platform? Also why is Nvidia not supporting Harmony? Also is that why I could not find the darn APX drivers on Nvidia website? Also what will happen when Ice Cream Sandwich will come out since it will be open source?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snipekill:
Done working fine.:D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I can honestly say that I have no idea...besides the RAM, we're at 512mb, they are at 1gb

This is a point of contention for some, including myself. Back in April, when we first started complaining to Viewsonic, they told us that Nvidia would not support any OS higher than 2.2 for the Harmony chipset. We then complained to Nvidia, who stated, publicly that they would support their hardware on any OS at the request of the hardware partner (Viewsonic in this case) The argument then died down, until just recently.

We then started bothering Viewsonic again to "request" the drivers for GB and HC, since they are the hardware partner, and Nvidia said they would support it. A few weeks ago, Viewsonic stated that they had communnicated with Nividia and were told that Nividia would not support an OS higher than 2.2 on the Harmony chipset (sound familiar?)

I, personally, doubt that Viewsonic ever made such request. Others state that Nvidia did a corporate double speak, saying that they would support a higher OS, but never saying that they would provide drivers for such an OS. The fact is, we don't have a higher OS, so there's nothing really, for them to support...see what I'm saying?

In any case, Viewsonic makes us mad at Nvidia and Nvidia makes us mad at Viewsonic...nothing ever gets resolved, and we're still pissed.

Don't know, but you can find them on the Gtablet for Dummies site under the NVFlash section...

Magic 8 ball says "answer is unclear"

honestly, your guess is as good as mine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomguy123:
Ah thanks for clearing that up but the difference between Harmony and Ventana can't just be RAM since the Acer Iconia A100 only has 512MB of RAM and it runs Android 3.2. Oh well lets just hope Nvidia releases drivers for Ice-Cream Sandwich. I'm also pissed that Viewsonic is releasing two Honeycomb tablets.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzzy John:
Don't be pissed. Just don't buy them. Better yet, don't buy anything Viewsonic.

But $170 for a used dual core honeycomb tablet is pretty damn hard to beat(even if it is 3.0 and a little buggy). So far i am loving this tablet. Now only if electroniccrap would re-stock the bluto.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
The version of a ROM is not indicitive of the version of the OS that it's based on. I'm pretty sure that ALL HC roms available for the Gtablet are based on a 3.0 version of HC, they may have different aspects of 3.1 and 3.2 built in, but they are mostly 3.0.

The camera foes not work on ANY HC rom for the Gtablet, neither does hardware acceleration (trust me, HA does NOT work on ANY HC rom)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnanton:
Android 3.2 ported to Vega, not G-Tablet

I have read that there is already a version of HC 3.2 ported to a similar device, with the VegaComb version

Would some of the developers that havef ported the HC 3.0.1 be able to adapt the VegaComb 3.2 to any of their distributions?

I am currently using Flashback 8.0, and have tried vegan 7.0RC1, gtabcomb 3.3, flashback 7.2, illuminate 3.1 and of course the strange version taht the viewsonic g-tablet came with, and it has been a nice walk through the several android flavors, but the hardware acceleration is really a important part of the device. From what I saw on the vegacomb video on youtube, the acceleration to a similar device really proves to make a much better experience, and not to say that the camera works, and flash plays withough issues on the browser.

Let me know if there is a v ersion of 3.2 to test, I would gladly test it out :).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomguy123:
Your talking about the VegaComb 3.2 with the hardware acceleration? If so as far as I know no one is porting it I asked the VegaComb team and none of them have a Gtablet. Id like to see someone like Robeet port it over but doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Started into the world of Android on a Gtab myself by getting on (full $400 price) at Sears many moons ago. Loved it. Messed it up. Figured out how to restore it (along with XDA gurus!) and generally enjoyed the whole process. Found VEGAN to be my ROM of choice and went happily on my way.

Then the tablet explosion began.

Despite entreaties by many it would appear (at least to me) some time ago the Gtab is EOL. End Of Life merely means it, along with many other tabs are now declared abandoned by their respective manufacturers who are moving on to newer offerings. One sees this with all things tech including phones, desktops, OS, etc.

I really don't mean to sound like a curmudgeon, but if it weren't for talented devs like Robeet, et. al., we'd not see massaged ROMs we do even now. Got a feeling the Gtab is like the NookColor and other first gen tabs. Froyo, GB and perhaps a handful of modded ROMs based on the previous is going to be it. Which ain't bad but not the same.

It is what it is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomguy123:
That's only partly true. The mod community is still here and someone figured out how to get hardware acceleration working on the Advent Vega and there's no telling what will happen when Ice Cream Sandwich gets released. Sure Viewsonic gave up on it but they still support it (contrary to HP).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
You make a valid point, chum. Never underestimate the imagination and talent of a dedicated developer! People have done some amazing things with tablets and will continue to do so. That said, a "wait and see" position while perhaps not all that encouraging, might indeed yield some extremely useful projects.

Time will tell!
