Sounds like everyone is being pushed to upgrade when their post-warranty tablet gets borked by a crap update.

TEAM DRH FTW!
[G Tablet General] JoTeC:
The update works fine if you are stock.
[G Tablet General] kieso:
Why bother when you can have something updated past froyo 2.2?
[G Tablet General] bfoster68:
managed to get Tapntap version 5699 installed

w w w.slatedroid.c o m/topic/26936-tapntap-version-5699

I restored to stock with CWM. Copied this update to my tablet and then booted into CWM to apply it. Once applied, I cleared the swap and dalvik cache corrected permissions and rebooted. At first it looked like it was going to fail however it rebooted once and now works as expected. Looks like the normal tapntap interface and it seems to be stable and working. you can update stock with CWM to this new update from viewsonic

Hello all my 1st post here.:)

I know I am a noob but I have a totally stock Gtab. It updated both updates with no problems. I now have a new screen saver lock woo hoo. and my mouse now works. I wixh it had a pointer instead of the X though. I read through the forums here on the gtab. It seems that most of you hate the tapntap software. I have had my gtab since last summer and it always work well. Not sluggish or slow. I guess I have a low expectation threshold. Anyway I would like to update to an android os in the 3's like Honeycomb but I read that not everything works. As far as I can tell most everything works on mine (that i use at least) Email is fine all 4 accounts. Flash is fine, except some youtube videos won't run. browsing is good, my 28 movies on my sd card run well, except mkv with 5 channel surround. my netflix runs nicely. I have a docking station and my hdmi works great on the big TV. I also bought one of those cases with the keyboard in it and it works good. I got a usb expander and I get keyboard and mouse fine now with the new update, even wireless mouse. Quake 3 works with the mouse and keyboard and you can not forget the birds, they kill pigs like anything. So anyway I <3 my gtab, best money I spent this year. BTW when they get a working beta honeycomb out I will prolly get it still.

Welcome to our forum whip11!
[G Tablet General] 1freedude:
my 2 cents...

i was on flashback 10.3, and wanted a change, so i flashed clemsyn caulkin 8.

i ended up in a recovery bootloop. found out i had to get a stock image onto the device. i mounted usb in cwm, uploaded the 5274 image and flashed it. it went fine, but on boot, it ALMOST went into recovery. it made it to the gtablet splash screen (the one after three birds).

pay attention here......

it then ended up at a exclamation ! in a triangle.

ok, wait for it....

just hit the back button! it takes you to three birds and a good boot!

and wait for the welcome screen. really, wait. if you did not get the 5699 image, it will let you know its available, thats how i found this thread, trying to get info on 5699.

not sure what im gonna do now. i left flashback because of the browser, thinking about detonator when it comes out, or ICS beta now...

any way, happy gtabbing
[G Tablet General] bainst:
Are there any alternate links for 5699 (or any of the 1.2 stock ROMs)? I can't seem to download from the tapntap links. :-(

[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I am able to download it from the tap'ntap link:

http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-5699-user.zip
[G Tablet General] bainst:
Huh...good to know...still doesn't work for me, but moot point, as I was able to recover without it (finally). The download says it's starting, but then never actually grabs any data. Eh.

Thanks for responding! :)

EDIT: After seeming to be stalled for ten minutes, the download ran successfully. Weird.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
To be honest, I didn't download it thru the browser. I use Linux, and downloaded it using the Linux command 'wget'.
[G Tablet General] goog64:
Due to an infinte loop of force closes, I've just changed from Vegan to stock 5699.

I've never used stock before, but my first problem is it won't let me set up my yahoo mail account. (It tells me my password or username are wrong.) Is this common? Is there a way around it?

And I used the browser to go to the android market and install a couple of apps, but I can't find them on my Gtab. Where are they?? When I go back to the market, it says the apps are already installed?

Thanks for your help.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
For my ATT Yahoo account, I have it sent to be accessed as POP mail. I then have Gmail import it. It then shows up in my Gmail inbox.

I know that this doesn't completely solve your problem.
[G Tablet General] goog64:
Thanks. At least I know I'm not the only one with the yahoo mail problem.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I don't try to connect to Yahoo mail thru Android, so I don't have the same problem.
[G Tablet General] goog64:
Oh right, I thought you were doing the POP thing because you were having trouble connecting to Yahoo. Darn it....maybe I AM the only one having trouble connecting to Yahoo mail.

Can anybody else out there connect to Yahoo mail using stock 5699?
[G Tablet General] shoboy:
I was running the stock 1.2_4xxx something or another, the latest "official" version prior to this release. I only use my gTab for watching my ripped movie/tv show dvd collection while at work(mpeg4's btw) and I will play the occasional game. The stock movie player works fine for me so I've kept my gtab stock since I bought it sometime last year.

I did root it with z4root since I planned on using a ROM on it but I never got around to putting one on. So when I did the OTA update it would keep restarting in an endless cycle...because it was rooted.

Did the power-volume+ key thingy and selected the factory restore. I didn't care that everything got wiped since I can always download the apps from amazon again. Once I did this the gTab started up fine and 5699 took.

I can say that it starts up faster, not night and day but it's noticable. The movies play "better"...the stock player is just more responsive, starts faster, doesn't hang when it comes back from being paused, etc.....

Overall the gTab is just more responsive and "stable" feeling. It seems to just act faster when I'm doing something with it. But like I said, it is NOT night and day from before but I see it in everything I use my gTab for.

USB thumbdrive detection is much faster btw....that alone IS night and day from before. SDcard scanning is better too.

[G Tablet General] fatoldman:
Installed 5699 - dock works - Fully

Folks,

Was running Vegan - then switched to Cyanogen. Last W/E I flashed back to stock 1.2 - no CWM - cleared everything and re-formatted. Got the OTA update. Rooted, added google apps, market fix.

My dock now works fully! plug stuff in and it goes - LAN included

Hardware acceleration makes many games more playable. No hint of flicker on movies. Camera and Skype working fine. Pandora slow speed play issue gone.

Down side?

No Tegra apps in market, no TV.com, and Google play has an issue playing streamed music - and wants WIFI - ignores LAN, but will play downloaded stuff OK.

All in all - not bad.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Hayden Sinsational:
I am interested in potentially owning a Sidekick 4G and I have been doing research on it.

I hear that it freezes all the time, text don't come through, and it is just a pain.....and then i hear people have no problems with it at all.

Is it really that bad? I don't necessarily care that it has Android 2.2 and it has weak specs. I actually like the skin and it seems like a fun device.

It is free right now(Along with the G2X...which i was considering getting but i've heard even worse stuff about that one)

OR i was considering getting it on MOnthly 4g for 50 bucks a month for everything Unlimited

But is this phone truly that bad?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
As a teen who has it since may. It is not as bad as It may be daily I have my phone fully charged at 100 around 9 pm est time and by 7 to 8 it has around 20% so it's pretty good. How ever since it a hard device to sell as it is marketed towards teens and I seen Alto of teens raging about it memory is an issue but the task anger very handy.

Weekly I have my friends g2x and tbh it's battery last is worse than the sk4g. Same 1500 mah and also his phone freezes atlot and has to get battery pulled constantly to cool his battery which drops the battery level all the time
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] papped:
If you run a kj2 based rom its not really unstable. I haven't seen any issues with not receiving sms either. Its not as responsive as something like a sgs2 though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Hayden Sinsational:
I am 17 so the teen thing doesn't bother me since I am one :D

The main things i have seen on the youtube video and the t-mobile site is the fact that

At first the phone seems great(and then shortly after owning problems pop up).

the sms not sending or being received, the freezing and having to pull batteries

In fact most of the t-mobile reviews for the phone trash it.

I am not expecting Dual core experience or anything of the sort like that but do you regret your purchase or are you content enough with this phone for another year?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] MrKickstand:
No, it really isnt, aslong as you go to KJ2 its pretty nice, over all i like it especially the style its set up with and how its built around texting. Personally i like it alot and its hard to win me over since i have a high standards when it comes to phones, if my starts where the same for girls as they where with phones i'd be single for the rest of my life. I think its just un-popular because of all the other phones out there that are mass advertised
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] papped:
Kj2 or gingerclone
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
I Don regret it after now it's just idl all the bashing on it since. Samsung didn't do everything everyone wanted
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I've never had any problems with my phone not receiving messages, that's something I wouldn't be able to put up with. I have dealt with quite a few freezes, causing me to have to pull the battery. The biggest annoyance is when the screen doesn't respond to your touch. Sometimes it will click things when I'm not touching the screen and sometimes the screen will shake back and forth. If I knew these things happened, I probably wouldn't have bought the phone. I would rather fork out a few extra bones for a phone that is a little less buggy.

You can always get the phone from T-Mobile, and they allow you to have it for so long, and if you don't like it, you can bring it back and get something different.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I love the design of the sidekick even though i'm using 2 different phones now on an off (x10 mini pro/captivate) I feel like the software is what really is screwing this poor phone over for me. As with the captivate which also ran 2.2 it had almost all the same issues i had with the sidekick but when it was updated to 2.3 almost every issue i had with being laggy slow or just plain crashing pretty much vanished.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I love the design but 2.2 is gay and old.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cyberstoic:
From my experience it was that bad. The phone was my wife's and I can't ever remember a day where she didn't have to pull the battery at least twice. It had the tendency for the screen to become unresponsive at the most annoying times, generally when you were trying to answer the phone or after you typed a txt message. It lagged awful, particularly going back to the home screen after backing out of an app. The other oddity was that sometimes the screen would just start acting like it was possessed by ghosts with things randomly happening.

I have owned a lot of androids and this was the absolute worst. The KJ2 update made it a little better, maybe a battery pull every other day instead of the two+ a day before. I finally started complaining loudly to T-Mo and they send me a MyTouch4G Slide which (knocks on wood) is okay. I know some people really like their SK4G's, but in my experience Samsung screwed this up something awful, didn't release the source code so others could fix it and get it off the crappy froyo build. With no disrespect intended to anyone, I wouldn't recommend this to people I disliked and it put me off samsung as a brand.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
i actually just put this on my sk4g that runs Glorious Overdose. so far so good, the only battery pull problem i've had was before i installed GO and then once again today when i accidentally messed with some files i shouldn't have. so i wiped everything and re-installed GO and its been great since.

i will update in a few days to let you know how its going, because honestly i love this phone so far. great keyboard and the display is good for how small it is.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
The unresponsive touch screen seems to be fixed by downloading spare parts from the market and setting wifi sleep to never.

DO not install gingerclone ever since i updated my sidekick Gingerclone Bricks my phone everytime i flash that rom

Butt overall the phone is pretty good
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
Perhaps you're doing something wrong? Cause plenty of people have used it and not had that problem...sounds strange. I'm not an expert but if so many people have used and liked it without that problem, then maybe you've done something wrong. Use the heimdall one click back to stock and then start over. I had to do it with GO but I love it now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Most T-Mobile reviews are crap anyways, the only true drawback on the phone is the launcher it comes with, it is pretty much useless. I find that most stock launchers are slow and buggy and not to mention laggy. Touchwiz being the worst. If you slap an aftermarker launcher the phone is pretty much 40-50% more effective. I have gotten the best result with launcher pro, and go launcher.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] binary_aegis:
I love the hardware, hate the software. The stock ROM always froze on me and some of the ones devs made froze too. I finally settled down with glorious overdose. It's been working fine as a phone but I was really used to the completely streamlined feel of CyanogenMod with my Cliq.

Software bashing aside, I think this is the best phone out. The full qwerty keyboard (numbers included) makes it so easy to correspond with friends and co-workers and the sliding action is pretty cool too. All it's missing is a flash.

If they ever get cyanogenmod or a heavily modded rom, the sk4g will definitely be worth buying.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
its not the rom, its not the launcher, its not the hardware, its not touchwiz. its wifi, gmail, the stock browser, or maybe one or two other system apps. after i deleted gmail and the browser, everything is fine. i dont use wifi so thats not a problem.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AFAinHD:
Don't tell people not to flash GingerClone just because you encountered failures while doing it. I've flashed GingerClone about 4 times, all successful. Did you have your mounts set up right? Because that will brick you.

The changes is done in spn-conf.xml which is in your system/etc. But this is for GSM, hopefully the same for CDMA.

Hi, running cm9. Happy so far. Had a very odd issue last night. Plugged in my to to charge as I went to bed. Tonight (24 hrs later) I find the to bone dead, with the picture of a dead battery on the screen, I plugged it in again and got it to fire up, but the battery was at 1%. Now I am not 100% sure, but I am 99% sure the charger was plugged in and charging....anyone else run into this?
[TouchPad General] rr5678:
Did you apply the charging fix?
[TouchPad General] apbling:
Thanks for the reply.

I applied the charging patch when I had alpha 0, but haven't since 0.5 and 0.6 came out. I guess I assumed they were included in those builds.

I have since installed battery moniter widget and betterbatterystats. Did the same routine last night as the night before, and of course, it was fully charged and ready in the morning. So I took it off the charger and set it on my counter...we'll see what it does through the day. Normally, it would lose a little charge, but nothing too major...

unlimited mobile broadband for HTC VIEW 4g $35 a month! (from Clear, instead of sprint))

1. Is this possible to get Clear 4g service on this device? They use the same wimax frequency and the same wimax 4g network as SPRINT (sprint invested in Clear to gain access to their 4g network)

I was able to successfully activate my time warner usb dongle on the clear network but it requires the clear manager software to connect (time warner also invested in Clear to gain access to wimax 4g)

2. Can I disable 3g and keep 4g on the device level since my Clear contract only gives me 4g.

background: Just got View 4g today, my first android device! been searching around here for couple hours and I like it here. Nice folks and ALOT of new info!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimstar:
this is exactly how to do it .....once you change the realm then go to the browser make sure 4g is selected then it will take you to a clear page simply log into your account and it will ask to activate the current device select yes and it will work...on your account in the clear website your view will look like a usb device no matter it will work fine i have mine setup like so...i also have the sprint 1 gig plan for 3g backup in case 4g is not available but i'm going to end that and just connect it to boost mobile for unlimited 3g i have the clear two device plan so one is a hotspot the other was a usb dongle thats the one i took off and replaced with my view....works great....it can be done just have to follow directions and tweak it.....good luck
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
That's very cool. I'm glad you guys figured it out. I'm a Sprint customer and have been very happy with their 4G (which is provided by Clear).
