[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoniverse:
I own a gtab. There is no comparison between an ipad (assuming gen 1 because 2 makes no sense) and a gtablet. Ipad is simply a more refined higher quality product with better integrated software esp if you own any other mac products. Still don't think the msrp on an ipad (either gen is worth it for what any tablet offers). The screen issue goes beyond the viewing angle. The screen is sharper on the ipad for reading - especially magazines.

What gtab does very well is have a huge user development base that is on the verge of unleashing ICS for us to play with. After that everything begins and ends with the difference in screen quality and apps.

That said I enjoy my gtab and am in no hurry to upgrade (unless I found someone who wanted to trade an ipad for it) as I can deal with it's limitations vs. the cost I paid to get something with these hardware specs.

ssmr2t: curious what you tried to sell your gtab for. I would think somewhere between 125.00 and 150.00 and it would be gone in a heartbeat unless it's all beat up. But I don't think it's worth more than 150.00 nowadays by any stretch.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
I haven't turned on my gtab in about three months. Yeah. They suck pretty hard. It has one good viewing angle - dead on, slightly tilted, as if it were attached as a screen for a cheap netbook, which is exactly what it is - the screen from a cheap netbook.

If you want to trade for mine, let me know :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawnty:
I'll take it if you want to pay for shipping :D

srsly though, the viewing angles of the screen suck. if you aren't looking at it at the exact perfect angle part of the screen is just dark. though whatevs, it works for me.

As for an exchange I'd hold off for something better. might be able to get a Xoom.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenet420:
People on here are crazy to think a first-gen ipad is better than the Gtab. Complain about the screen all you want, iOS is ****e.

I will also pay shipping for that Gtab you can't seem to 'give away'.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
So there you have it, the gtab is worth about $10 - the cost to ship it somewhere :)

Seriously, it's a fine hacking android tegra2 device with no vendor support and flagging xda support. Oh, and that first gen iPad? yeah, it's running iOS5. From Apple. Without any hacking needed at all. And THAT is better than a tablet that was disowned by the reseller (viwesonic) and the ODM (forgot what the Chinese company's name was - malta? whatever) the day it shipped.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenet420:
iOS5 doesn't make it better.

You'd have to pay me to allow itrash in my house.

So there you have it, the ipad1 is worth -$10 ;)

Seriously though, I have 7 and 9 years old boys and they ALWAYS choose their Gtabs over grandma and grandpa's ipads, thank goodness!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
No, just supported. Which is worth whatever you deem it to be.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trehouse:
For what it's worth some of us actually like the Gtab...

I use it for work and it's great. It's just as fast as any other tablet I've used. I hold it or have it on my desk, I haven't a clue about whether it works from an angle or not and I really don't know why anyone would care. I guess from this forum some people prefer to look at it that way.

I have Honeycomb on it, VTL launcher, Dropbox and a million programs which if they are any good do what I want. A screen protector which keeps the fingerprints way down and a nice case.

The only issue I have is the weight, too heavy to use as a Kindle.

If it breaks I'll get something different, maybe an Ipad, maybe not.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foobz:
I threw V6 supercharger on my tab running FB 10.3 and it's made a big difference. Yeah the screen sucks, but it doesn't matter to my 2yo, who is the main user.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt5:
It is almost criminal to say a first gen ipad is even close to being as ****ty as a gtablet.

I own a gtablet and it really is only useful as a play around with android device.

The iPad one is still the second best tablet on the market.

And this is coming from a person who owns a gtablet, droid incredible, and a galaxy nexus.

Put aside your fanboyism before you convince someone to jump into a terrible trade.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thegreatheed:
Calling fanboyism on others while stating 2 sentences prior, "The iPad one is still the second best tablet on the market."

Priceless.

There's probably a dozen Android tablets out there that are better than the iPad v1, especially when you consider in price. There are many tablets better than the iPad 1 in specs, price and OS. All they lack is a half masticated fruit logo.

Hello!

After a freak accident during which my DHD landed in our heater (see attached photo - mind you, still works perfectly!!!), I got myself a nice SXE. Proceeded to gutting it, installed Revolution HD ROM, then tried to update the radio but it wouldn't do it.

Curious, I checked the bootloader. Where it said something like UNLOCKED at the top (??), now it says LOCKED... The full text:

***LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.23.0000
RADIO-11.19.3504.29_2
OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227
eMMC-boot
Dec 26 2011,12:14:25

My question is, what exactly has been LOCKED again, and how did it happen?

Thanks so much...

[EDIT]

...and, of course, I found this minutes after posting, even though I had searched like a madman:

Still, strange I couldn't flash the radio... file was pushed, but writing was denied...
[HTC Sensation] wideopen4ever:
With the Hboot "Locked", your phone can react to some adb or fastboot commands (push, reboot commands for example), but it's impossible to write any img on it.

If you want to change your radio, I think you must downgrade your Hboot by executing an older RUU (2.08** or 1.73**) and then, you will be back on an Hboot "unlockable" (Hboot 1.18** or less).

I didn't try to change radio, 'cause this one, RADIO-11.19.3504.29_2, is the last one and it seems Ok for my usage on ICS 4.3.1.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Things seem to have changed a bit since the days I was unlocking my DHD... :D

First things first: how do I make sure hboot (thanks - this was my initial question, I didn't know what LOCKED referred to!) is locked? Because, as I quoted,it seems that when you update the fw it says 'locked' even though it's unlocked.

But, if I downgrade through a RUU, if I update the fw again in order to flash Mike's ROM, I guess the same will happen?

Thanks for your reply!
[HTC Sensation] wideopen4ever:
Yep, if after downgrading by RUU, you flash Mike's firmware, you will have again the problem, because this RADIO-11.19.3504.29_2 is included in the FW.

To confirm your Hboot is really locked (for writing), you can try to flash any radio.img, with fastboot command.

You will see in your terminal, the img is send but it stays impossible to be written.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Interesting. So, basically, you need to flash the radio before updating the fw and before flashing the ROM... ok, staying with the one I have right now :D

Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] wideopen4ever:
NO, it's useless to flash any radio before, 'cause when you'll update with Mike's FW,

you'll get this Radio version 11.19.3504.29_2 again !!!

....

So the simplest way is to keep this Radio version !!!

IMO, it is a good radio, but if you want to flash any GB custom rom, you will need the RiL files corresponding.

you will find it HERE.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Heh, that's what I thought, and it seemed weird to me... then how come Mike recommends another radio though (the one I tried to flash)?

Anyhow, thanks for the input, really appreciate it!
[HTC Sensation] wideopen4ever:
For his ICS based ROMs (ARHD v6.0.x), Mike recommends "11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2 radio".
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Yeah, but flashing his ICS/3.5 ROM (6.02) apparently gave me 11.19.3504.29_2? :)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Can the updated version be unlocked via HTC's online unlocker thing?

This one...
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
No. I tried doing it with the Revolutionary tool, which supposedly uses the same method and it told me it does not support this version...

Not sure if it will work with HTC's tool directly, though.
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
When I upgraded to hboot 1.20 used htcdev to unlocked it. Then upgraded to hboot 1.23 and it remained unlocked
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
yes that is the newest radio for ICS, when you flashed the ICS UPdate it gave you everything ICS from hboot to radio, now all you had to do is find and 4.0.3 rom and flash and everything would match the ril/radio and hboot needed to keep it stable
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc-dida:
The vibration doesnt work since october 2011.

In September 2011 i rootet my arc without any problems.

After that, the vibration was working.

But a few weeks later the vibration settled down, i don't know why.

I cannot understand why, so i tryed to flash the new Firmware (2.3.4)

and rootet it again.

Without effect!!!

Then i purchased a Flex-kabel with a new vibration motor.

It calls: Sony-Ericsson Xperia Arc LT15 Flexkabel RCV Flex PBA Original

I hoped the vibration motor was broken, so i changed the Flex-Kabel.

Without any effect again.

I have no idea what to do.

Has anyone of you any experience, or an idea what i can do?

PS: sorry for my very bad english, last time i needed it was in school, 14 years ago.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagleeyetom:
Yes. You could combine kernels and ROMs in many configurations. You should change kernel first, because it requires cache format or more likely full wipe.

[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
Quick question for you guys. In apps like rdio and spotify, if i have it sync a few playlists for offline play it downloads the songs to my phone for later playback. If i flash a rom, it wipes out what i've downloaded and i have to manually choose which playlists for it to sync again. Is there a way to keep the cache for rdio so after a flash it will still have what I selected as offline somewhere? Would moving the app 2 sd fix this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
you would have to find where each program saves its data, each is different, do a google search for the programs you're looking for,

an easier way is to download titanium backup and backup that programs data :), sync it to dropbox via titanium backup. Then restore all your programs and data. You really should invest in the program if you don't already have it, its great!

Well, we all know the ray has 512 MB of RAM built in. But if you use tools like Android Assistant, it tells you you can only use about 332 MB of it. I searched in other forums and found out, the "hidden" part of the RAM is reserved for the gpu. My question now: is there a way to reallocate the RAM and get some of the reserved available for user apps? Because i constantly get freezes wit oom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xperia ray:
I dont how to do it , but i am also disappoint when i saw ray has only 315+ RAM , sony site says ray has 512 MB

I am sure if we try to re allocate it we will get problems , why not you try cyanogenmod ?

it is faster and less RAM intensive
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JayanWarden:
i am running on cyanogenmod 7.2 , but if i use launchers like spb shell 3d , my free ram, even at reboot, max caps at 110 mb. thats nothing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] optik19918:
i think is possible but it will be worst! most of the phone speed is given by the gpu (example samsung galaxy ace has 800MHz but lower gpu alocated memory and the phone speed is a disaster)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vleutmans:
I think the only way to 'gain' some extra RAM is enabling SWAP.

On my old samsung, I once had a swap partition of 256 to extend the memory.

The good: you have real extra ram

The bad :

-swapping is slowing down the phone, as the sd-card speed is never sufficient.

-SD-card will die sooner, as you read/write a lot to same partition.

So swapping is not advised to my opinion, and others.

Some way to make some memory free (and speed up your phone) :

Use a clean rom (like 4pda.ru) and with the "autostarts" tool, try to disable android apps that automatically try to start itself at boot, startup or other events.

I found out that a lot of android apps try to start themselves even when you plug in the power cable (google maps for example), or connectivity changed, application installed etc.

With the autostarts tool (or rom toolbox) you can influence these triggers to prevent apps to startup themselves in the background.

Hello, recently i flashed my rom to BroodRom RC2+the kernel that was included. It's a great rom, and i absolutely love using it but my phone is so slow, it's becoming really annoying.

For example, when i open whatsapp i get a black screen for like 2 to 3 seconds en then the app is loaded.

And this is happens with or during everything i open, trying to send a text,openening Greader etc.

Does this mean that the ROM i am currently using is too heavy for my phone?

Thanks for your replies, i anyone is going to reply:D

I'm using BroodRom RC2 for two days now and I feel my SGS+ very much fast than with the original 2.3.4 Orange Rom. You could test the BroodRom Configurator application. It gives you a chance of installing Adrenaline and other apps to "vitamine" the BroodRom.
