The Viewsonic 10 inch "G-Tablet" discussed in the link below ($349 from Sears) has the Nividia dual core 1ghz Tegra 2 processor. It sounds like it has pretty decent hardware but lacking in software due to not being an official Google product and having a poor performing UI.

http://androidandme.com/2010/11/tabl...sears-for-379/

Viewsonic G-Tablet specs include:

NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual ARM cortex (1Ghz)

Capacitive Multi-Touch/Multi Tasking panel

10.1” 1024 X 600 TFI LCD Screen

512 MB RAM, Mass Memory 16 GB

Mini USB x 1; Full size USB x 1

1.3MP Front –Facing Webcam

Earphone x 1

Micro SD card slot

2 x 1 W speaker

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

G sensor/Light sensor

Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

3500mAh/7.4V Li-polymer Battery Life 8-10 Hours

Slim design (267 x 173 x 14.3mm) Wt. 820 Grams

Buttons: Home/Back/Menu/Volume/Power

OS / Android 2.2

Headphone Jack

Built in Microphone

"Original information out of Viewsonic said this device would cost over $500, but Sears is selling a WiFi-only version that lacks the sim-card slot of the more expensive model. Some overseas models were also reported to include 1 GB of RAM, but the Sears unit is shipping with 512 MB RAM."

"The good news is that this tablet comes with Android 2.2, but that might be there the fun ends. This tablet was not certified by Google so it lacks all the Google Mobile Services including the official Android Market. Thankfully you can still sideload apps and alternative markets like SlideME."

You can buy the "G-tablet" here: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...1&blockType=G1 Use the zoom feature on the picture to get a really good close up of the device buttons and LEDs etc. I like the clean and simple look. Three buttons is nice too and the Wifi only will work perfectly with a tethering Nexus One. At $380 it is ~$120 cheaper than the equivalent iPad.

I think this would be a good candidate for dev support to take advantage of the hardware to root and optimize for 10" display. If developers are interested in rocking this device I am definitely picking one up.

Do you think developers would work with this device?

Hi,

I'll try to articulate here as best as possible.

- Initiate the process of pulling the notifications window, by holding your finger on the top of your screen until the windowshade bar shows up.

- Do *not* pull down to reveal the notifications window. Hold your finger at the top of your screen for a fraction of a second.

- Slide your finger horizontally, left or right! So cool and handy! No more scrambling to increase brightness going from indoors to outdoors!

[Android] nitinm76:
HI!

I have few queries regarding the Android recovery system, and the class RecoverySystem.

1. As per my understanding the recovery system which is supposed to work from the recovery partition, does not necessarily be a android OS, but can be even plain embedded linux with bassic RFS and a workhorse application like the bootable/Recovery in the source. Even the recovery application can be different from the one in the bootable/recovery folder in SDK source.

Please let me know if this understanding of mine is correct?

I need to implement such recovery mechanism for a MMC based non mobile device. Any poiters on that?

2. Why is that the boot-loader (Hboot in phones) is doing the actual job of installing the system update , bootimage update and the hboot update? Cant the recovery system itself untar and install the "SYSTEM" update in it's respective partition and the "BOOTIMAGE" update in its respective partition from the user space application "recovery".

2. The class RecoverySystem is used to interact with the recovery system running in RECOVERY partition. Can somebody point me to some example uses the RecoverySystem class?

regards

You should buy a Desire digitizer on ebay. I got mine from Hong Kong and it works perfectly. Replacing the screen isn't that hard.

Here is the guide that I followed. Really it is easy, it just takes time :)

[Desire General] giorgisp:
Can you tell us how many fingers can your new digitizer register at the same time? Because the digitizer of the original desire can only register two fingers at the same time while iphone can register 5, so I want to see if these chinese replacements are actually better. To test this, search in market for "multitouch" and there are some free apps to do it. Thanks! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
I can confirm that Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking (DUN) works after the 2.1 update using PDANet through my Sony VAIO on the Rogers Network.. yes! now I can fully take advantage of my 6GB data plan without wires!

Also, the PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP) as well as pulling your recent calls list (not sure what profile that uses) works fine with Android 2.1 using my SE HBH-DS980 headset.

However, on an incoming call, the phone doesn't push the CallerID tag to the bluetooth device. The same goes for the MusicID tag when playing music. From my intuition, I don't think these 2 features require a specific bluetooth profile but will rather need to be implemented in the music or dialer applications to function. I'm not sure why SE is leaving this out on the 2.1 update as it is a huge selling feature for their MW600 headset. All SE phones powered by Symbian or part of the Walkman branding all had these features right out of the box, and the X1 running Windows Mobile had it as a 3rd party support (ie. smartwatchm). It would be nice if a developer can add these features for Android since SE won't.

It also doesn't have the Service Discovery Application Profile (SDAP) to be able to provide the list of available bluetooth services to the master device. This was tested using my SE X1a. So to actually find out what services are supported, you'll have to find out the hard way.

Can anyone tell me what other bluetooth profiles are available now?

Summary:

Confirmed Supported Bluetooth Profiles in 2.1 Update:

-Hands-free Profile (HFP)

-Headset Profile (HSP)

-Object Push Profile (OPP)

-Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVCRP)

-Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)

-PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP)

Ringtone over bluetooth

Hi there. i think this is a problem shared by many users:

i habe a Bluetooth Handfree, in this case, FIAT Blue&ME. When i connect for example a Nokia phone and the phone rings, the ring is transfered to the audio systems of the hands free. With my X10mini i hear only the default RING RING from the hands free :-(

Is there anyway to enable handfree transfer of the ringtone in Adroid?

there are persons that describe the same problem but not for android: for example at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=634494

By the way also SMS messages cannot be transfered to my Hands free Blue&Me. Anyone have idea how to fix this?

I think a new application to solve ringtone transfer to handsfree would help ALOT of users.

[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
I am using the supplied (stock) headset that came with the phone and have noticed my callers telling me that I sound far from the phone when in fact, have been putting the headset's microphone very close to my face to talk. Then I figured what was the problem, the caller couldn't hear because when I was speaking, my phone was far away from my face. Doesn't make sense.

Why would the handset's microphone be activated when I plugged my headset into the headphone jack fully? Shouldn't it be using the headset's microphone instead? I am using the headset and I have to put the phone closer to me in order to talk because that's where the sound input is going through (handset for sound-in and headset for sound-out)

Does anyone else seem to be experiencing this? If you haven't noticed this already, could you give some input and let me know? Greatly appreciate it and thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
I haven't noticed anything like this.

I will test tomorrow and see what the other caller says. I've been mostly using the headset that came with my Cliq, so haven't had much of a chance to try it out. I haven't had any complaints with the Cliq headset on the G2 though.

I've used the G2 headset for maybe 2-3 calls so far but no complaints.
[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:
I've had the same issue and haven't tried to figure out what is causing it. If you unplug the headset and plug it back in it has fixed the problem for me every time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
same thing but on my wife MT3G Slide with both headsets. i have not encountered that issue with the G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
Actually, the first time it happened, I thought the microphone just sucked and I just winged it and kept talking but talked louder lol. I figured out the second time (yesterday) that it could be getting sound input through the handset instead of the headset. So I went to the handset and asked if they heard me better and they said "oh yeah now you sound close". So after that, I unplugged it and retried it and same outcome. I tried using my Sidekick 2008 (LOL) headset and the microphone piece on the headset worked!!

So I went back on my Sidekick 2008 and called someone and tried the G2 headset with the outcome that the headset's microphone works?! WTH? I thought it would be because the G2's headset being defective but doesn't seem to be the case. So I went back to the G2 to try the headset one more time with its complimentary headset to find that it works as intended now.

Maybe its a software glitch on the phone? Because I know it was in the earphone jack properly (twice), if not, I would have heard distortion in the headset itself. I was using Bluetooth earlier and do recall this issue happening the first time when I was using Bluetooth and switching to headset.

Hmm. I did have the MT3G and honestly, people have told me the call quality on that phone was better than the G2. But to fix or try to troubleshoot your wife's MT3G issue with the headset, try powering off the phone and turning it back on then replug the headset.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
my wife had done a wipe on her phone and flashed a different rom before i told her to try it. so i dont know what to say lol it works
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
lol so it works now?

if so I would say it is safe to say it is software issue. because if it was hardware defect, the phone would not know to do sound input through the handset. that is my guess.

Your sh is messed up. If you can check, then check if /system/bin/sh is 0 byte file. If so, then try adb remount to remount system partition as rw (Although I doubt that it will work without sh, you will probably get permission denied msg) and use root explorer to rename sh_bak to sh.

Don't use App2SD, cause it will suck your battery away. Use Link2SD available in Android Market (much easier and more friendly interface), that way, you can control which apps should go to SD and what's not. :)

How would you exactly know app2sd drain battery faster than link2sd? Principally it's working the same putting apps to your sdcard right..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Hrm.. I never thought about the battery drain with Apps2SD but I guess he might have a point..

If your phone is constantly having to access SD card for all your installed widgets and apps then it might use more power than accessing off internal memory..

if you use link2SD then you can just stick the big memory hungry apps (like games) that only need to be accessed when you are using them.. which would reduce the amount the phone needs to access SD (however there is always data stored on Fat partition of the SD card for Widgets etc.. so not sure how much of a difference it would really make) might be next to nothing.. might be lots.

The pro's of Link2SD go beyond battery saving tho... I stick all my games (angry birds, fruit ninja etc) on SD and leave widgets and needed apps on phone memory.. that way if I remove the SD card my phone is still useable. :) (its closer to Froyo than apps2SD)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
Yup that's what i meant.. :) because i have Battery Widget with Battery usage (Ampere) displayed. with app2SD, it constantly eating about 400mA every time. with Link2SD and only games and passive application on SD card, it drops into 40mA and lower.. :D

or trying to prevent the further development?

because from the company's point of view we are cutting into their cash by preventing people from buying a new model of android phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubbingt:
I think he is talking about porting android to the HD2. I dont think they would care seeing as how many people, myself included bought an HD2 because of android development going on. If this didn't happen I would think they would have sold less phones.

Theoretically they shouldn't care since at the end of the day we bought their product irregardless to what OS was on there. If anything, I would think Microsoft would get pretty upset and take action if we continued on the path to porting WP7 on the HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
not if you buy from their market place

at the end of the day. microsoft is just like google. a software company. they want their software on as much phones as possible. if you happen to be an hd2 user who is running windows 7 and buying stuff from their market place, then awesome to them.

htc is the one who would be pissed. because you didnt change ur HD2 and buy a new phone windows 7. they lost 1 customer " figure of speach "

i dont see them happy that android is working on hd2 . they lost desire hd sales.

you know where i am going with this. for hardware companies, this is bad.

for software companies like microsodt and google ? the more the better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Life Engineer:
True but not completely true!

HTC is definitely loosing by not selling new phones but winning by selling more HD2s!!! (as i've read many bought HD2 just for porting android!! Really weird but it's true!!)

Both Google(android) and Microsoft(WP7) are winning and loosing at the same time!!!!

How is that you might ask?!

You are using their product, you are making propaganda, you are paying for apps from marketplace... It's all good!

However you are not purchasing their OS! As you know part of the price of a phone goes to the OS company! So practically it's true that you have ported their OS but you didn't actually buy it! ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrDroopy:
There are actually two sides to this story: Yes, making Android possible on a HD2 will indeed keep people using their HD2 in stead of buying a new android phone so from a short term point of view on might say that this has a negative effect on sales.

On the other hand, phone sales is mainly driven by "sponsored sales" by phone operators. A lot of phones get replaced after the initial contract periods regardless whether it is still usable. Only a relative small group of people actually use custom roms/android installs, but they spread a lot of good publicity about HTC and its possibilities. HTC is the fastest growing company at the moment, showing 139% growth in Q2 this year compared to Q2 last year. Still, Samsung is holding 20% of the market and HTC less than 2%, so enough room for expansion.

To cut a long story short: I don't think they mind too much, they probably watch this forum closely, pick up ideas for development and just let XDA do the marketing for their brilliant smartphones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krat0s123:
i agree with the post above me.. i don't think HTC cares much about the android port.. besides, i think they owe it to us.. coz like M$, they said that there will be a free wp7 upgrade for our phones.. so, since there's no wp7 upgrade for our phone, they should give us android instead... and they can't do anything about the android port anyways, as android is an open source program.. but if HTC was apple though, things would be different.. a lot different..
