Hey guys, can you go to your Battery Usage page and give a breakdown?

My 3 main culprits are usually phone idle, display, and cell standby.

Right now I'm at:

Phone Idle: 29%

Display: 28%

Cell Standby: 23%

Voice Calls: 19%

Foursquare: 3%
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:

Hi Buddy,

This link given that you have given does not work. Need to update.

Usually, every ROM’s author will give an explanation on what to install and how. The example below is a proper way to install one of the most used ROMs, Cronos ROM for Milestone:

Can you please check battery history in spareparts and post the amount of time each process was running (cpu, screen on, wifi, etc...)? You can check the time by clicking on the bars with he percentage.

It's just so we know what's a moderate use. Also, if everybody would do that it would be great, or if posting percentages, then put also the time since unplugged.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
did you see when i posted the thread?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] afadel:
Nope, just realizes now, sorry. But still, as I understand the percentages in android battery usage is from what has used the battery, which was the percentage of each one, and not the percentage it has been used over the time is was last unplugged. Spareparts stats are more useful, but I guess I have a pretty decent battery life for what I use the phone. I'll post the stuff later when I get home at the computer.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Quintasan:
I am not sure if this result is good but Spare Parts show 80% and the uptime is above 12 hours. I hope it survives till tomorrow.

After playing around with the bionix fusion rom and kernel I decided to go back to stock. I flashed back to jfd using odin but now when I try to download anything from the market it says unsuccessful download. Did I miss something? Csc file?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Try clearing the data cache in settings->applications->manage applications->market
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huyha707:
Just did that but still unsuccessful download from market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrizk07:
did you happen to restore any backups?

Everyone needs to make sure that the first thing they do when they get a rom up and running is to sign into your google account and then open up the market.

restoring apps before that step is usually the culprit of market issues.

There are workarounds like signing into google talk or toggling your wifi from off to on to back off, but that only goes so far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huyha707:
Now that you mention that I did restore my apps before i signed in. Thanks for the reply I will try that now.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] echo12:
Hey guys. I've been lurking xda for the past 4 years . . . first post ever tho.

I recently got for the 3rd time a Tilt 2 from att (Rhodium?) as an insurance replacement (don't judge me). . . I've been looking into installing a Cuztom ROM and stuff for a while. The only issue that Ive been having is that although I've spent countless hours trying to figure out what step to take first, its all a bit confusing with all the technicality. (my geek-ness only goes so far . . .)

I'm interested in getting the "EnergyROM" with wither the ".sencity" or "cookie" theme. And although I can read and follow instructions . . . where I seem to have the biggest issue in understanding is where it comes to the Task29/HARD-SPL/Bootloader phases.

I'd figure it shouldn't be that hard . . . if i can get SPA-25g this should be easier but . . . i dunno . . .

so . . . anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] redpoint73:
You've read the n00b guide, right? Its pretty step-by-step, and written for beginners.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

Pretty much everything requires SPL to be unlocked. So HardSPL comes first.

Here is my suggested sequence:

1. Download the required files (HardSPL, Task29, ROM of your choice). Unzip/save each set of files to its own separate folder on your PC desktop and name those folders accordingly ("Task29", "Energy ROM", etc.). Each element uses the same CustomRUU.exe tool, so you don't want to save them all to the same folder.

2. Connect your phone to the PC and make sure Active Sync is running.

3. Run HardSPL from your PC. Just follow the directions given on your PC screen. I think the phone will reboot after you finish HardSPL.

4. Run Task29 from your PC (not absolutely mandatory, but highly recommended, and I do it before every ROM flash, it only takes a couple minutes)

5. After Task29, the phone will stop on the bootup splash screen. In your case, this should be the white screen saying "AT&T World Phone"

6. As it says in the Task29 instructions, hold down the Volume Down button while you press the soft reset button with the stylus. Keep holding the Volume Down button until the tri-color screen shows (this is the bootloader).

7. Flash the ROM of your choice, from your PC. Alternately, you can run it from your SD card by copying the .nbh file to the root directory of the SD card. The phone will reboot after you are done flashing the ROM.

8. Hard reset the phone (optional, I don't think everyone does this, but I've seen it suggested, and it certainly can't hurt)

9. Flash radio (optional). None of the above steps will touch the radio (unless specifically stated in the particular ROM you are flashing). So you can just use the one already on your phone. But different radios may get you better phone/data reception and battery life depending on your geographic location. You can flash a new radio anytime. So if you're not sure, don't worry about it now.

10. Setup the phone to your liking and enjoy!

A few ROMs (such as Deep Shining) require your flash the stock HTC ROM (or flash a certain radio, such as Jackos ROM) before flashing the custom ROM, but Energy does not. Just follow instructions for the custom ROM you want.

Really, its pretty simple. Just read and understand as much as you can before you start. That's the biggest step. Once you dive in and actually do it, you will realize its actually quite easy.

You'll be real happy you flashed a custom ROM, believe me. The stock ATT ROM is crap. The custom ROMs here are much faster, no bloat, better looks, and more functionality.

Allow me to quote egzthunder1 which described very well the application's scope in Android applications area.

The Android client is in beta testing but the Windows Mobile 6.5 client is stable and can be downloaded from http://vorienteering.com/downloads

Virtual Orienteering is formed by a team of passionate developers, lovers of nature and surrounding environment.

Together we try to create a large community of curious beginners in discovering the joy of this game, as well experienced players of real orienteering sports.

Everything we offer is free, all you need to do is register (very easy to do) on www.vorienteering.com make a track, download the application for your smartphone and start executing it. After that, if you want you can post a message straight to Twitter of Facebook so that everybody will know what you did :) The best players will be on top so everyone can see them.

Video tutorials on how to use the site and the application are coming in the next days, but it should be pretty easy to use it. Just give it a try. We also have a feedback button and you can tell us what problems or ideas you have. Every feedback is welcomed. Together we can improve the whole concept.

This community has done so much for me since I join, I'm glad that with VOrienteering we can offer you something in return.

Thank you xda-developers for the chance of showing out application.

Ah... did I mention that you can earn badges ? See you in top 10 users.

I haver been working with Eclipse for about 6 weeks and so far it has not been an issue until now.

When I try to run my game to the emulator, Eclipse tells me I have a error and to please fix it/them first...IU'm sure you've all seen this at one point or another.

Ok, the Eclipse "red" tickers it shows you for errors, and the red box with a white exp mark in it that are used to show you where the erros are? Well they do not show up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Eclipse tells me I have errors, yet the dang thing won't tell me where.

Whats the "Eclipse" fix for this besides running a screwdriver through my computer and lighting it on fire?!;)
[Android Apps and Games] LuvinAndroid:
noone knows the answer? wow, I must be the only UNLUCKY programmer out there, glad you guys have not run into this.
[Android Apps and Games] apurva.giri:
Its a common problem. Try this : -

Select the Project (by clicking on it).

Goto Project -> Clean

Select "Clean Project Selected Below"

Click OK.

Wait for a few minutes (See lower right side corner of eclipse for progress).

Resource file will rebuild and if you're lucky enough, the error sign will go.

This works for me. Best wishes... :):)

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks to erron for pointing me to Staples!

SEARS still has limited stock, as of this writing. However, check your local Staples as it looks like they just got a shipment in:

http://www.staples.com/StaplesProdu...ctId=358070&catalogIdentifier=2&cmArea=SEARCH

My local store in PA has them in stock. I also heard a rumor that KMart and Radio Shack might be getting them next week, so you might want to keep an eye out.
[G Tablet General] b00sted:
have you heard if walmart would be getting these as well?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Have not heard anything in regards to WalMart. You'd think they'd be jumping on the bandwagon for the holidays, but nothing (yet). Maybe they'll surprise us, next week.

[G Tablet General] rushless:
How could these retailers sell these without a solid, out of the box software package?

Sure, the retailers maybe / are clueless, but Viewsonic is not (in regards to the software issue).

Boxes still have Flash symbol on them

Storage mode does not see the microsd

No market

A lot of games and apps are broken

Storage mapping

Mystery reboots with stock FW

Boot loops

Not coming out of sleep

Seriously, I like my G (not with stock), but how does this device not fail on epic levels, since it fails "out of box"? Perhaps 95% of consumers will not be hanging around XDA- will not have a clue.

New Info from Viewsonic s gtablet site

App Store

Please be advised that a software update is now available that provides access to an Apps Store directly from your G Tablet. Owners of the G Tablet will receive an automatic notice of the new software upgrade. Users can then simply click on the Apps Store icon from their G Tablet to gain access to 1,000's of leading Android apps. (Please note that the automatic notification requires that the G Tablet has WiFi Internet access upon power-on.)

Adobe Flash Support

The Viewsonic G Tablet hardware and firmware provides full support for the Adobe Flash Player built into the unit. At the time that the G Tablet was manufactured, the Adobe Player application was not available for this product. We anticipate that a version of the Adobe Flash Player Application will be available by December 19, 2010. Owners of the G Tablet will receive an automatic notice that the plug-in is available for download to further expand their web access and entertainment. (Please note that the automatic notification requires that the G Tablet has WiFi Internet access upon power-on.)
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I just picked one up at Staples--I asked, and a manager said they had just come in on the truck last night and they were ready to be put out front yet. I mentioned how the Staples web site had said that they were in stock at this particular store, and the manager seemed to take pity, disappeared for a while, and came back with one. (Had to check me out herself, though.)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Office Depot has the Gtablet now as well. The have a working demo of the G and the Archos 7 (not 70). They are selling them now.

So far:

Kmart

Office Depot

Sears

Staples

BTW, the Viewsonic site was wrong and is one reason they pulled the information from their site. No Flash in the update.
[G Tablet General] yjhuoh:
they had it in stock at staples, but the manager wouldn't sell me one, claiming that it was a black friday item.

edit: purchased one online with free ship to store. $30 off $150 coupon i bought off ebay worked. it says it will arrive by wednesday, which is sooner than black friday! at $400 - $30 = $370, which appears to be the cheapest price i've seen for it. the only comparable one is $380 at sears on black friday with the free case.
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Which store has the best return policy?

Well, I'll have to consider picking up a g tablet, as it seems the tablet is much more usable with the TNT lite 2.0 rom..

So, the next question is, where should I purchase it from? I want to give it a good try for a couple weeks before settling on keeping it. While I understand the unit should easily be able to be returned due to the fact that it's "defective" in some ways, I'd prefer just not having to deal with a pita manager worst case. So, do any stores that are selling it offer easy returns? Sears seems like a "no," but Staples seems to let you return the device used/opened, if you're not satisfied with the purchase. Anyone else know about kmart/etc?
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Staples closest to me had 3 when I called them on Saturday to see if they had a REAL functional demo unit and not a mockup like Sears had. They did and also told me that they had 3 in stock. (Seems that the Staples stores all semed to have gotten a whopping 3 of them.)

Sears say 9-10d or 12-15d for stock. (I guess that the busier stores get first dibs on stock, surprisingly the one really close to me and the one just a bit further are both on the shorter time to restock. I felt that the close Sears was never very busy)

I never bothered going over to Staples until Monday morning, since I was sure that I would just pick one up even if I felt it to be grossly overpriced. I still feel that this is overpriced esp. when both Sears and Staples bracketed the gTab display with MUCH cheaper (Atom) netbooks ffs! (They had 2 left in stock on monday, and then 1 of course, after I purchased mine.)

All said and done thought, this is the tablet that I've liked the best from the get go and I'm still only using the stock fw, and 11/22 update now. Web browsing is just so much better with this tablet and the virt kb more responsive such that I can use forums via browser and actually enter messages non-painfully although a bit slowly. (Buhbye tapatalk...)

The PDF version of the manual is kind of funny loads of Engrish, which is kind of surprising considering that Pandigital's wasn't too bad actually while VS' is more like Augen's...
[G Tablet General] pkjai1:
Anybody have any experience with searsoutlet.com? I found one thats over 200 miles away from NYC and for some reason they refuse to ship.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
SEARS can be bad - 30 days but only for hardware defects, although I heard that they might extend that to 60 days during the holidays. For Staples, it's 14 days for tech items and seems pretty flexible.

KMart might be the best of the lot at 90 days, but again you should ask before purchasing as they might have exceptions.

I purchased my GTab from the Outlet - they don't ship because these are clearance / closeout items that are in that specific store. The GTabs are customer returns to they should be complete but expect some possible cosmetic defects as a used item.
[G Tablet General] khaytsus:
Just check daily, in a few weeks I bet every store in the nation will have a pile of them, then we can snap 'em up.
[G Tablet General] mcbooth:
Im looking to import one of these and was hoping to take advantage of the Black Friday sales. I saw the Sears catalog, but then someone else said they dont have any stock?

I can use a mail forwarder to buy it for me and then ship it to me in Australia. Looks like Staples and Sears both have them online. Can anyone please confirm:

- Do Sears and Staples currently have these in stock for quick shipping?

- Is it worth waiting for 'black friday' to buy one?
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
I am guessing that Staples got three for each store for Black Friday traffic. When I went in on Tuesday night, they looked at me kind of funny. As mentioned elsewhere, the manager went into the back and eventually found me one. I think he was trying to decide whether to sell it to me or hold back for Black Friday (although since the ads I've seen have it for the same 399.98 price as I purchased it for less my $10 Staples Reward discount). He indicated they had three in stock. When I was at Sears last week returning the Sylvania MID 7, the clerk there wanted to sell me on the ViewPad but since they only had the cardboard cutout, I didn't bite. Staples in my neighborhood had an actual unit tethered to a security cord that I could play with before plunking down my greenbacks. It inpsired me to overlook the TNT gui and concentrate on the performance.

My advice would be not necessarily to wait until Black Friday as the units might sell out, but I would also suspect lots of units showing up between now and Christmas. As the manufacturers gauge the market acceptance of various units, there may be future price drops (if the Samsung Tab sells well at $599 then don't expect much movement, if the B&N Nook sells well at $249 expect some movement downward. I think initially this unit was priced somewhat higher and as competitors showed up on the scene there was some pricing pressure. I expect that some Big Box retailers will have this unit for $20 to $30 discounts as we head toward Christmas. The entire tablet market feels rushed and not quite ready for the Holiday buying season -- think no Flash, non appmarket originally and other missing pieces of firmware by the ViewSonic G Tablet.)
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Staples has an extended return policy for the holidays starting 11/26 - ?? you can return items until 1/8/11.

I heard about the 60d return from Sears for the holidays as well, unfortunately I've seen nothing directly from Sears about, so it stays int he rumor category to me.

[EDIT]

Given that the demo until was plunked between two MUCH cheaper(and higher build cost) Atom netbooks, I'm feeling that these tablets are overpriced ATM, probably from the hype they hope happens and moves them. I'd feel MUCH better with $299.98 or less for the gTab...
