[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
Ok guys, I'm really thinking of getting one of these. The main interface can be a little slow so long as the Internet browsing is smooth and fast, being thats what I want to use it for. Sitting in my recliner with a light weight access to the net. As long as I can side load apps on it, I am good. I read that Launcher Pro works well, and doesn't SlideMe market allow downloads from its site?

Really all I need to know is... should I get one? (this is the only thread I know of for this thing on XDA atm so its why I'm asking here)

I like to tinker (I have a Nexus 1 and the G1 prior and I can use ADB when the need arises) and I can wait on proper root, I'm in no rush. I think I will wait before getting too crazy with it though, reading of a couple bricks in this thread and all. Just need a decent device, not great, that has potential to be great.

I did read a review that said there was a protective film over the screen, one to protect in shipping like all devices and a second non removable one and this guy said it had air bubbles in it. Anyone else have that?

Also thinking of getting something similar for the GF, though not one of these. Something more portable, like a 7 inch. She does not need the fastest hardware, just something to sit around with and carry around. I'm a bit torn though. I was thinking the Archos 70 tablet, for its decent specs and the user base already getting market access. Though the new Nook Color looks good as well, has better resolution at 1024x600, than the Archos and the specs are close, but has shorter battery life. (claimed 8 hours wireless off vs 10 hrs web surfing) She also wouldn't use it as an ereader and that is its main focus. (she hates the idea of not having the real book to hold, thinks people are living through the digital world more than the physical too much) Also side loading apps on it will be harder with its interface and lack of buttons/controls. But the screen is so nice.... Archos is probably the way to go, at $280 its a bit more than the Nook Color but more useful and the support will be there (yeah I know this is a bit off topic, sorry)

Anyone having trouble with Androotfile? After I press SuperUser and then R/W, it says "Unable to Chmod - Read only file system". Sorry I am totally new to this.
[G Tablet Android Development] hellsreach:
Let another user a couple pages back, I'm having trouble getting adb to connect. When first plugging in the G to my Win 7 box, it detected and loaded the Tegra drivers. I'm unable the load the driver included in the OP because Windows says my driver is up to date.

After setting the G to debug to running ADB Devices, I do not have my tablet (or any other) device listed. Further, the adb_usb.ini has only the following:

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.

# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

It does actually list any Vendor IDs at all.

Unsurprisingly since adb didn't detect any device, SuperOneClick also does connect and just locks up on "wait for device," or something to that effect.

Any idea how to fix this?

Which APK is the contact app? My phone (Droid X) has a bazillion APKs that have "contact" in the name. Or do I need more than one file to make it work?

Push and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then let go wait 2 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, let go wait for 2 and push for 2 seconds and wait. See if that helps you out!
[G Tablet Android Development] DrPaulR:
Mine just died as well. I was running low on battery so I plugged it into the charger and was reading XDA forum on my notebook. Out of the corner of my eye I see the screen go blank. I thought it was just the screen saver timeout. However, it is totally unresponsive now. I press the power button and nothing, just a black screen. I tried the timed response above with no success. Please HELP!!
[G Tablet Android Development] DrPaulR:
I just woke up after letting my G tablet charge overnight. The charge light is green so it is fully charged. Still won't respond. The screen stays black. Unless anyone has any ideas, it looks like I am taking this one back.

Manually Rooting

This worked great for me BUT you have to chmod the file before you remount as RO

13b: chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

WITHOUT THIS YOU CAN NOT USE ROOT FROM THE ACTUAL DEVICE (only adb)

If you forgot to do this the first time you need to run the mount rw command (#8), do this, then remount as RO (#14)

bye bye Viewsonic

I have had this device for the last few days. Today I deleted everything I had accomplished. It almost worked good enough to keep, but then I reflected on the fact that it takes a computer expert to get it to almost work. Fail, fail, fail, do you think that this is going to be a success? I think that the average consumer that buys this is going to return it almost immediately. No working marketplace, no flash, wifi loses its connection whenever it goes into sleep mode. At best YouTube stutters and stops, even after you figure out a way to install it. It does not do voice search, or many of the things that the Moto Droid does perfectly. Lets not even mention Tapntap. :( So long, it has been bad to know you. Does anyone think someone will come up with a tablet the fulfills 10% of the possibilities?
[G Tablet Android Development] nomad421:
So is there any way to get the home and search buttons back without doing a factory reset? Do we know what about the rooting process and market install causes these buttons to be borked? I really don't want to have to do a reset and loose all of the progress I made on getting this thing into a usable state.
[G Tablet Android Development] joselo:
i am rooted and have market installed as well as launcher pro and dont have these issues
[G Tablet Android Development] nomad421:
I understand that not everyone has run into these problems, but someone did earlier on this thread, and it was suggested that he do a factory restore and then root and install market (and all the other apps) again. I was just wondering if there was an easier way to fix this issue (e.g. is there a file that defines the actions for these buttons that may have been overwritten or something), as doing a factory reset and then reinstalling all of the apps and settings will be a fairly big PITA.
[G Tablet Android Development] nomad421:
Ok, I fixed this issue w/o a factory reset. I just followed the instructions here and the home and search buttons now work properly.

[G Tablet Android Development] egrimes:
Update: Today I tried to return this unfortunate device to Kmart, which is where I ordered it from. The local Kmart was totally unable to do anything, contrary to what I read on there web site, they sent me to the local "Sears" store, where they said, they cannot do "anything" about a return, as they are not a "corporate" store. The "only" recourse is to return it to "Sears.com" where I did not buy it, via UPS. Perhaps they will eventually return at least some of the money I wasted on this device....
[G Tablet Android Development] Hannigan174:
I'll tell you what worked for me. I plugged in the tablet to the USB. I then uninstalled all of the drivers from the device manager. Then I went to the control panel and went to add hardware. Then I manually pointed to the USB drivers and installed them. Finally, I unplugged my device from the USB and plugged it back in and voila, it worked!

It's a windows thing. It's not really the tab's fault. It's partly the SDK not being updated and partly microsoft for how they designed windows,

Market won't connect?

Using the instructions above I installed the marketplace, which starts, but when I try to add a Google account I get a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error every time. Same problem with gmail. Google maps works fine so I know at least some of the Google apps work. I can surf fine, so I know my wifi connection is good. Am I missing some data setting? Thanks.

Edit: It appears that using the wireless hotspot feature of my HTC EVO to get the G on line was the problem. I connected the G to my office wifi and the marketplace connected without a problem.

I've been trying to get this working on a Toshiba Folio 100... Failing with a MAC address error in the Google sign in.

I'm wondering about this being a wifi driver issue, so could someone with a working G Tablet zip up a copy of their /system/wifi folder?

The Folio uses the Atheros 6003 chipset, so I hope we can recompile the driver with either a MAC fix or allow overrides...

Thanks

black screen of death on gtablet

had the same issuse while it was my tab was hooked up via usb reading the forum/cracking the kit. anyways i noticed the cpu was still warming the face of my black screen "brick". pulled the four screws on the back, pried the back off carefully starting from the corner of the power/volume buttens. once off you can see the battery connector. pull back plastic cover and remove the batteries connection to the tegra chipset and let sit for ten seconds. reconnect and reboot like nothing happened. fixed!!!

Anyways Like most people i have market running, gmail etc...market is missing some appps like many others posted but most are there. I hadn't even bothered with testing this thing tell the last ten minutes as i finally felt it was half way stable when i discovered that i could not add a SD card and have it notice. anyone else have this issue that has everything else mostly working?

Hello,

Trying to root my gTablet got as far as:

Killing ADB server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...

*daemon not running. stating it now on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully*

OK

Waiting for device

And waiting...

Something must be wrong becuase I have not gotten past waiting.

i do have USB debugging connected...

What might be wrong?

Thanks

OK I just opened a CMD prompt and typed adb devices

This is what I got in return.

C:\user\n0m0n>adb devices

List of devices attached

C:\user\n0m0n>

Does that mean ??? adb is working or isn't becuase I have my Droid2 and gTablet plugged in?

I have re-flashed my Droid2 with the stock SBF already so I don't know why I cant get the root app to work.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Ok, so before the general populace of the forum, looks over this post thinking it's some noob who cant read through the forums to solve there own problem, i would like to say thanks in advance to anyone who can seriously provide some help.

Problem is as follows:::

1,)Phone is working fine using mini-winmo+cyan droid

2,) -PROBLEM- My android stops working, so now im stuck using a lite version of winmo

3,) Tried formatting the sdcard with the lite version winmo built in sdcard formatter, doesnt solve anything, dont exactly know what i was trying to solve with this step.

4,) I decide to get a nice fancy version of winmo, figured it would be as easy as just flashing it once n done.

5,)Decided on going with Ozrom, looked the best at the time.

6,) Run the ruucustom as admin, everything goes fine.

7,) -PROBLEM- after flashing the first boot leaves me stuck on the bootscreen.

So after all that i took the advice and tried to get back to the stock Tmous ROM, but as im typing this im still stuck on the Stick together screen, and also just for a control group i downloaded the latest HD2 cell winmo rom release, and that left me hanging on there version of the boot screen.

Same problem, different roms.. stuck on the loading/boot screen.

But, with the stock rom after playing around with removing the battery, simcard,sdcard and what have you i got the stock rom to boot!!!! I was so excited, i skipped the "How to use the on screen keyboard" tut and was typing in my email info when the phone reset on its own and all my hopes went down the drain... hopefully i will get some help on the issue, and like i said previously in the first paragraph i appreciate any and all help.

thanks.

---UPDATE---

Phone is on and working, intermittently.

When i plug the phone into the charger and wait for the amber light, it will boot up and actually enter into windows, now heres the kicker, removing the charger and using the phone will result in the phone turning off and restarting itself, hanging on the stick together screen.

Removing the battery, and replacing the battery after i push all the buttons, the same way you would power cycle a TV remote, and then connecting it to a charger is the only way ive been able to maintain the operation of the device.

Any ideas?

I'm currently using tasker app and trying to use it for driving safety.

I receive a lot of texts throughout the day. While driving, I would like a profile that pop-ups the text content like the iPhone pop-up but only when I'm driving.

I have an app called 'Car Mode' that when loaded it automatically sets speaker phone on all outgoing and incoming calls. This is ideal but would also would like the text pop-up to be initiated once I load/open this app.

I have the process down but cannot translated into tasker. Here:

Load 'car mode' widget

Once receive a text-trigger the pop-up profile to display the text content like the iPhone.

Anybody that can help would be awesome. Thank you.
[Captivate General] mobius911:
I do use Tasker and don't see an obvious way to do it. Another option is Vlingo. It has a Safereader feature that will read out the sms on receipt. You could use tasker to launch it or have it start on bluetooth pairing. Free in the market. It also works for voice dialing. I'm on froyo but I don't know if it's needed for that since Vlingo seems to do everything.
[Captivate General] catire:
This is not what you are looking for but there is a way to make tasker read your sms when in car mode :

http://lifehacker.com/5601133/push-...d-to-awesome-heights-with-these-tasker-setups

For the popups you may be able to set handcent as the default sms app when in car mode, that allows popup alerts like the iphone if i'm not mistaken.
[Captivate General] rrlara:
Thanks Guys! I'll give these a try.

I imagine Tasker can handle text pop once it receives a sms. Actually Tasker supports a alert action 'pop up'. I just need to figure out how to enable it ONLY when Car Mode App is active and be turned off when is in-active.

Tasker is great but does have a learning curve....
[Captivate General] s44:
Set a variable (%CARMODE) to 1 using an application context, have it set to 0 on app exit. Use an if condition to pop up texts (task on "Received SMS" event, if condition attached to the popup step in the actual task) only when the variable is 1.
[Captivate General] rrlara:
Ok, Here is not setup and is not working. Can you shed some light on this? Much Appreciated thanks

Profile named : Car Mode

Context: Application -> Car Mode

Enter task:

Tasker -> Profile Status -> Name: Text Popup; Set: On

Variable Set '%INCARMODE' To 1

Exit task:

Tasker -> Profile Status -> Name: Text Popup; Set: Off

Variable Set '%INCARMODE' To 0

Profile named Text Popup

Context: Event -> Phone -> Received text

Enter task: Tasker -> If %INCARMODE ~ 1

Alert -> Popup %SMSRB

Done

Hi all - I've flashed the Super Clean ROM v0.4 by jt1134, but I'm finding that I much preferred the stock music player, and noticed a lack of "ThinkFree Office" in this release, which got me to thinking;

Is there a place to download optimized, deodexed, zipaligned, [insert optimization buzzword here] apks for every one of the stock apps that were included with the Fascinate? Something we can just adb push onto our customized ROMs after the fact?

Again, I'm thinking mostly of the music app and ThinkFree office (I know I can download a free version... was the stock app the for-pay version, or was it the free "lite" version?), but I know that some people also like the stock mms app, etc.

Thanks!

I was just going to start looking for the deodexed system dump. I, too, miss the stock music player. Anyone got a link, and will it work with JT's rom? And how should we install it? Using a file manager, pushing it with adb, or putting it somewhere with root explorer?

Or you can DeOdex your system manually I have used this method and it works, Only exception is at step "5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "vzwlbs.odex" (instead of this file that does not exist on a Fascinate - "guava.odex".) It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process."

[Fascinate Android Development] martian21:
Jt has been slowly adding some of the stock apps as well as some of the AOSP apps to the "extra" folder in ROM manager. I'm guessing if there is enough interest in adding an app he would be willing to provide it. I'm fairly certain that donations to his "beer fund" would help prompt interest.

Jt hangs out in #Samsung-fascinate on freenode a lot, you could *politely* request that he add an app there.
