[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
The latest version of CR_MOD is 1.35something. It's the latest firmware version (official) for the slide. That's where the number comes from. If you're looking for the latest tethering app I'll post it. As far as the radio, it's in my signiture and CR_MOD has it set to flash when you load the rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Anyone getting "advertised" HSPDA speeds? At home I keep myself on WiFi so I really only use my phone in the parking lot at work (not allowed to bring it in the building).

I have good signal strength and work nights, so all my use is very much off-peak. I ran the speedtest.net app tonight and after a few tries got it to correctly recognize my GPS location and give me a selection of close severs. I can't say I'm too impressed with the results :(

FYI: Despite the "1700 miles" reported on the IMG the server was ~30mi away per the server selection screen in their app.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
well the phone always says "h" there is no 3g icon that i know of. so i get .60kbps at best but i know 4g isnt in my area. if u go find out where 4g is around u then u will notice a big difference once ur in the area of 4g. i went down to norco, ca and they got 4g since its near ontario, ca. i pulled 5.84mbps which is wifi like speed. but thats the best i pulled from where i was. which at the speed im ok with that lol.

here is the link to tmobiles 4g area map.. just click on Check your 4G coverage (data) in the middle of the page

I'm just across the river from St. Louis. Maybe they only have the 4G coverage closer toward the center of STL; will have to re-run a test next time I go over that way.

So why do I have "H" near my signal bars?! I also live in Washington DC!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
idk why are phones say "h" i am nowhere near the 4g network, for some reason it never shows anything else other then "h" lol, i think its stupid that it shows the "h" when ur not in the 4g area at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I live in central San Diego and work in Northern San Diego and I never saw 4G speeds. I can be glad when I see 10% of the time 3G speeds over 1 Mbps. Very disappointed so far with the largest 4G network. Where is it hiding? I am embarrassed to tell anybody about 4G on my phone when their AT&T 3G is much faster. Luckily I still can return my phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
Yea, the H doesn't mean anything. There are programs you can download from market such as mobile signal widget that show what network you're connected to.

I live in Seattle and get pretty good 4g speeds for the most part. Ironically, I couldn't get any 4g connection right outside t-mobiles headquarters in Bellevue, WA. Epic fail if you ask me :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18jmagic:
I live in Richmond va which has 4g but I never see those speeds. I usually get around .30mb to .60mb. But I have been having trouble with the tower next to my house.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I strongly recommend the Signal Strength Widget - shows G/E/3G/UMTS/H etc and is a much better gauge than the taskbar icon. Free from the market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUEDRO:
First of all 4G refers to HSPA+ and not HSDPA which for Tmo is 3G.

So, the reason you all see mostly "H" coz it's either HSDPA (3G) or HSPA+ (4G) if your area has it. Same thing is on Nexus One, it shows "H" but it operates on HSDPA/HSUPA and not HSPA+

What about the speeds, YES, I AM F... DISAPPOINTED! In downtown Atlanta, with full and the tower in my face bars I do not get more than 2 Megs (occasionally). Mostly I get 1.5 Mbs/s

Geez, my MT3G was getting 2.4 Megs constantly on 3G

Weird thing is that it feels kinda limited at 1.5 Mbit most of the time. Speedtest scales quick to 1.5 Mbit and then just stays almost still at this point.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
Is that full bars on 4g or 3g?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
hey ur so right, my phone shows hsdpa not hspa. thats lame they should show a 3g icon on the phone when on hsdpa, so we know. lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagvain:
austin, tx is getting pretty good speeds
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUEDRO:
Well, It displays UMTS in Network type. But most of the new 3G/4G is part of UMTS, so it's not clear for me if I have HSPA+

So my question is....Does the phone shows UMTS and HSPA or it's just one type (UMTS) which include HSPA+

Those of you that are sure that get 4G, what's your network type in Setting/About Phone/Network ??

That's what frustrates me, at this point I have doubts that my phone runs on HPSA+ at all. Downtown Atlanta has coverage for HSPA+ protocol but for some reason I am not in
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
Yep, I have seen over 8mbps d/l at times on my speed tests in north Austin. However, over half the time I'm on Edge which is annoying when obviously HSPA+ exists here, but I can't even get 3G most of the time. When you're on HSPA+ it can fly, obviously it's finding it that can be the problem.

On the other note, I'd almost swear I saw three icons in the first day our two I had the phone: E, G, and H. I've only seen E & H in the last week, so maybe I imagined it. If I see it again I'll be sure to grab a screen shot.

I didn't see the link to v.1029 but I did see it over at tegratabs. Also you mention in the post over there that flash does not work? does that mean the flash apk from the folio does not work with this build... that would keep me from installing from the 1106 update...

And lastly just to echo so many others, Thanks for your hard work on tracking this stuff down and packaging it up... you have really helped make an unusable device quite awesome.

...John.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Sorry, that is from early on when we did not have the flash apk. Maybe I'll add that to a new build if I get a chance. I have been working on getting the next version of zpad which should have flash stock.

You can definitely use flash on zpad if you add it yourself.
[G Tablet Android Development] bjn813:
Do I need to flash .01 thru .03 and the 1106 or just .03 and the 1106?

Also over at tegra.com board there is a very easy way to flash clockwork onto this badboy, it is the last post in the clockwork thread posted by photonmedia
[G Tablet Android Development] eagle17:
I think if you use the v.1029 update.zip it has everything... otherwise I did the .3 and then the 1106.. and then just copied the flash apk and ran it to install it.

I am very happy with this so far... very stable

@Rothnic ,

is the v.1029 the same as 1106 update?

Yes I'm CWM 8, I'm using the install from sdcard then choose update.zip, I choose the one I want. Then it says "assert failed: package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img")

Error in sdcard/update.zip

[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
It sounds like something is messed up with either the update or clockwork. I'd try reapplying clockwork recovery and redownloading the update.zip.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
v.1029 is a total package of v.1029 boot.img plus system.img. Zpad Clean 0.3 is just a cleaned up version of this total package.

I only have the 1106 boot.img at the moment that still works with the v.1029 system.img. I am working on getting the whole 1106 firmware.

One option you can do is take the 1106 boot.img and paste it into the update.zip for v.1029 Zpad Clean 0.3.
[G Tablet Android Development] bjn813:
That is what I tried and that is where I get the error that it is corrupt and the bad CRC #(all 0's) using winrar. I am using my work computer and if you know about Altiris it won't even let me use the Altiris Image Explorer on it the boot.img

Wipe Data/Cache

I'm sure this is obvious to many of you, but what

exactly

is meant by "you must wipe data/cache"? What specific action do I need to take -- is there a menu option in recovery mode or is this something I need to do from the Settings menu in the TapNTap interface?
[G Tablet Android Development] Crimton:
in clockworkmod recovery these are things you do before flashing a new rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] bjn813:
Got it now, don't know what was going on with it going on my computer to tablet. I just downloaded straight to tablet and moved the zip to the root of the internal sdcard and it worked. Also has anyone ran benchmark with this rom cause I did and its not very good 525. Anymore possible tweaks/lag fix coming?
[G Tablet Android Development] yjhuoh:
i think that has to do with the drivers being young - the tegra2 hardware is really new. the only other rom that is "fast" is cyanogenmod and i don't think it will bench much higher.

1106

Sorry for the Noob question but how exactly to I "flash" the 1106 boot.img file? I've successfully installed the v.03 update and everything's fine except the time/date resets on reboot. Just can't seem to figure out how to do the next step

Also, has anyone tried the Subsonic app? Can't get it to work on this version although it did work on TnT Lite. It's the best app I've seen so far for streaming music from my home server, both home and away on all our devices (iTouch, DX, and now Gtab.)

I do appreciate the hard work everyone on these forums has provided with customizing this tab and helping with problems. Man this tablet would be 100x better if some of the folks on this forum and the tegra forum were involved in getting this tab developed. Here's hoping that Viewsonic provides us with a decent firmware update.

[G Tablet Android Development] bjn813:
Quadrant is what I used for the benchmark. It didn't run or couldn't run any if the CPU test and the highest FPS rate was in the low 20's and the 3d was a little choppy. I am happy with this so far and do appreciate the work that has been thus far, I'm just trying to give some feed back for this ROM. Also the NFL app won't load all the way for some reason, it work on the stock ROM but not this one. I just want Angry Birds and the NFL to work and I'll be even happier for a while. And again thanks for the work thus far.
[G Tablet Android Development] photonmedia:
I get this every time I have tried to install one of rothnic's Zpad Clean ROMs via CW Recovery. I have reflashed v8 of the recovery several times to no avail. The only way I have been able to flash these ROMs with any success is using the stock recovery. Not sure what I am doing wrong maybe I'll try what someone else mentioned and download the ROM directly to the tablet instead of the PC first.

Let me just make sure this is designed to work like what I'm used to with CW Recovery on other Android devices....

Downloaded the updated Zpad Clean v1 (1106) ROM.

Placed it on the root of SDCARD (internal Memory)

Booted into CW Recovery v8 and did Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache

Chose Install ZIP from SDCARD

Chose the zpad_clean_v1(1106).zip file.

It starts to flash and then gives the error quoted above.
[G Tablet Android Development] xguntherc:
Yup.. I'm getting the same error in CW as you.

So you able to flash it with stock Recovery or not?
[G Tablet Android Development] dkhilo:
System UIDs Inconsistent

I'm getting this message

System UIDs Inconsistent

UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

After loading this new build I got this error. So I went back to the beginning, Wipe Cache/Data and reinstalled just the Zpad v1 zip. Rebooted several times and didn't get the error. I tried then installing the Gapps from Clockwork. Boots up, I answer the first time questions. Reboot. Get this same message again. Reboot into Clockwork. Wipe the Cache ONLY. Boots up fine, message is gone. Install Flash Player. Reboot. Message comes back again. Reboot into Clockwork, wipe the cache. Boots up fine, no message. Install Titanium. Reboot. Message again.

So it seems that installing any program will generate this message.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Any suggestions and help are most appreciative!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
You need to have clockworkmod recovery to just use the update.zip.

Otherwise you need to grab the /recover/command off of a different update. I think the clockworkmod recovery update.zip comes with it.

Using the stock recovery, it needs to see the command file to work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mscdex:
I get pretty much the same thing as case-sensitive. Except, after copying the recovery directory from the cwm update.zip to the sdcard root, I get an image of a box with a down arrow and an animated progress bar at the bottom and then the triangle ! after a couple seconds or so.

Any ideas?

Then follow the first post in this thread.

I'm unsure what you are trying to copy exactly. This post doesn't talk about manually copying anything.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] foreverknight:
I've tried this twice already with a factory reset in between each try, and it's worked both times!

Attached is a bunch of files you will need to make this work.

1.Download the attached Zip file and extrat the contents to your desktop

2.Mount your G and upload the "G Tablet" folder to your G's internal SD card

3.Using AndRootFile or any other file manager that supports root access, mount as R/W, and copy the contents of G Tablet\permissions to System\etc\permissions.

4.Copy the contents of G Tablet\framework to System\Framework

5.Copy the contents of G Tablet\lib to System\lib

6.Copy all the APK's found inside G Tablet\APK into your system\app folder.

7.Install them in this order:

1.GoogleServicesFramework.apk

2.OneTimeInitializer.apk

3.SetupWizard.apk

4.Talk.apk

5.Vending.apk

6.Gmail.apk

7.Maps.apk

8.Make sure you remount it as R/O when you're done!

9.Restart your G, Connect to Wifi, then launch Market.

10.Follow the standard Google Account setup procedure and enjoy your newly installed Market.

I got these instructions on another thread and all worked untill I got to the part about coping files to other directorys. Thats when I got that error in andfileroot.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
You are mixing two separate guides. You do not have to manually copy anything.

The thread you copied those instructions from is very old, and will not work as well as the one from this thread. I put together an update.zip that copies everything that needs to be copied, so you don't have to do those step.

It is very very simple:

Load the gapps update.zip to sdcard, run update.zip.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] foreverknight:
Do i need clock work mod to run this .zip cause the only option is to extract and there is no run.

PS really, thank you for your time
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
The download here will have two files in the zip.

One file will be an update.zip, the other is a folder that looks like this: /recovery/command. The folder with command in it tells the stock recovery to flash the update.zip on the sdcard.

If you want to keep stock recovery, then rename the gapps update.zip to literally "update.zip" and put the folder /recovery/command on your SDCARD. Then you will hold volume + and power to run it.

If you want clockwork, just unzip the download here to your SDCARD. It will have the update.zip and /recovery folder to flash clockwork.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] foreverknight:
When I unziped to sdcard I did not see gapps update.zip just update.zip and recovery.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] foreverknight:
what is the end result going to look like. Am i going to have android market?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rothnic:
Gapps update.zip is not the name, it is the description of the update.zip that you can download from the original post of this thread.

A update.zip is just a format, not a literal name. If you are using the stock recovery, it has to be named update.zip. if using clockwork it can be named anything.
