Still waiting...

Agreed...

Got tired of archos lies, bought this one yesterday...hoping that we will have an update today...not sure why these guys can't get this thing right in first place...looks like they haven't done any testing...should hire a few QA people and help economy...
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
Nothing here as of 15:23! Bet it will be release at 23:59...if not delayed, again. This is pretty frustrating. I have no problem with unexpected events, just don't keep putting me off with promises that never seem to come to fruition.

I'm coming up on my 30 day return date soon and this update I feel is going to make or break my choice to keep the unit. I say we stage protests at all our local Sears stores on Black Friday morning! :eek::D
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think it is a mindset for American companies anymore to not provide what the consumer wants, how they want it. But more so it is a we will tell you what you want, how you will use it, and if you don't like it too bad mentality. It is all based anymore on how much money can we make instead of how good can we make our product, reputation, satisfaction levels, etc. I see such a rush of exciting new ideas, and products that are coming from other countries anymore. Companies that seem to smile when they talk to you, are happy to listen.. And from American companies just see the "I will tell you what to like" mentality with no vision anymore to compete. I hope I am wrong, and I would not want to live anywhere but America. But if the stupid mindset of profit versus satisfaction doesn't change soon I think American business is in big big trouble.. Sad...

How hard is it to just interact with customers? They have a webpage.. Let people know what is going on. I really believe it is because they actually have NO control of what is going on. All of this is happening in a land far far from here. These support people are basically mushrooms being kept in the dark and only put out what the folks in the far far land tell them...

Getting Update

Update 2967 is downloading right now.
[G Tablet General] l33trican:
Update 2967 v1.0.1 just hit my tablet. It's downloading! Now it's completed and wants me to accept the license agreement. Well see what happens.
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
me too, me too!!! :D Maybe they saw my comment about staging a protest. :D

I did notice that the description in the dialog box didn't reference everything I've been seeing and hearing. Didn't say anything about marketplace.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I got it and I managed to pull it off /cache (thanks Rothnic for that tip).

Going to upload it, shortly. It's an update.zip.
[G Tablet General] SpinKix:
Downloading now!

Took quite a while to boot after install, but that's to be expected first time.

Seems more responsive, faster browser page loads.

We'll see about WiFi.

So far, so good for my plain vanilla gtablet.
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
Great...I would be the first to have a problem. I'm stuck at the dreaded triangle screen. Guess that will teach me to speak out against the man. :D
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
I just picked up a Gtab at lunch.....played with it for a bit...not finding any major issues...

Installed the Flash.apk and flash worked....no changed to build.prop.

Just installed ClockworkMod Recovery, made a backup and when it rebooted it said and "update is available"....it does not install with clockworkmod on the system.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think this thing works with cwm (I kinda expected that)

EDIT: Here's the Viewsonic TnT update.zip, as-is and untouched: http://www.mediafire.com/?99eb11cqhvrkkc7
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
I don't have CWM right now. I flashed back to Vanilla the other day waiting for this update.

EDIT: It at least tells me the update wasn't applied when I reboot and asks me to try it again. If that doesn't work, then I'll download directly from your link. Thanks for getting it up so quickly!
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I'm downloading it now, too. Everyone started saying they got it about 45 seconds after I had pulled the trigger to go to TNTLite, which was then giving me all manner of FCs before I could even get the WiFi set up. Was able to get the Vanilla ROM loaded via USB, rebooted, now I'm back to stock and getting the update.
[G Tablet General] arrow21:
Lovely got the triangle of death. So... I guess it is going to have to be the update.zip
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Thanks Roebeet. Downloading it from mediafire now. So Viewsonic could have just as easily put this on the webpage so everyone could get it. Stuff just doesn't make sense sometimes..
[G Tablet General] thx69:
Same issue. I have CWM installed
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Again, it's not CS's fault tmk - blame someone in management.

Quick notes, so far:

TZ is fixed

AB installs fine, now. No errors. But, the video is black (that means the OpenGL drivers were not updated)
[G Tablet General] arrow21:
Ok, I am running the vanilla tnt build. Update failed, should I just download the update(which I have done) and then do a manual update using the update renamed to update.zip with the command from the other update and rename the file to update?(does that make sense?)
[G Tablet General] thx69:
Finished installing after cache wipe the update.zip given by Roebeet.

Worked like a charm =D

Thanks bro

Edit: My SD Card now works =D
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
Looping

Oh joy...I got an infinite reset loop going on. I got my update everything was working fine, was testing something and powered it off an back on and now it doesn't like me. Anyone got any ideas? I'm gotta head to lunch will try suggestions when I get back
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
you'd need to setup a recovery folder and rename this to "update.zip", and it should work.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Data wipe might fix it, or try updating it again via recovery.
[G Tablet General] ncbenhk:
Just installed the update. Here's what I noticed so far:

1. gMarket is added, but it's just a link to the Handango website. What a joke!

2. TNT UI is still incredibily slow

3. Sleep mode is now enabled

4. It seems that the WiFi idling issue is gone

5. TAP UI update icon is now just "Update"

6. Accelerometer is still off by 90 degree in games

7. Games/apps that did not install before now installs! (Mapping issue fixed!)

8. They seem to have made some changes to the sounds which is worst than before

9. Holding the home button now longer shows most recent apps, which sucks.

Pocket Legend now working, Angry Bird installs but still not video
[G Tablet General] moli13:
I just got the 2967 update after connecting it to the charger. (don't know if that helped it upgrade) The market we now have is handango. I got to go to work now. Will play with it when I get back. Things seem to be looking better...
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
What's the verdict? Take the update or wait for the next one?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Somehow in all of my tinkering I seem to have gotten cwm on my tab. (Yikes.) Got the error triangle, and so am installing update.zip manually.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Hey roebeet, I'm in CM6 and I think it is the one that works the best. Let me know if it is worth to back to stock to apply this update. I got exchange email, contacts, calendar and market working on CM. It is fast as well I think.

I did like th look & feel of the TnT but too slow and no calendar/contacts synch...

Thanks for leading this forum. This is the reason why I got the Gtab vs. the Stab (minus $300)...:D
[G Tablet General] thx69:
Root Loss

BTW... it require to root again...

I went to Titanium Backup and it couldn't get Root privileges...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
x2 that the accelerometer is still off

TZ issue is fixed

Sleep option during shutdown

Some UI changes, like the USB storage mount

Angry Birds can now be installed, but the video is still borked

The "Market" is a web link to Handango. And all paid apps! Huh?

Quadrant scores are the same

Camera app is much better. I think they are actually using the full 1.3 -- that's great.
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
Updated..GStore????

Hi all I did the available update and am able to see the g store icon. But when you try to download any app it just does not download anything.

Anyone have any luck using gstore?

Please let me know
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Can't wait to see TnT Lite Ver 2.0 :)

Best Regards
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Haha.. I'm sure the folks in the support center are just doing what they are told. It's those management people without a clue that get me...

Here is how I envision the management meeting....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoNpbvJK0Mo&feature=related
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I have it working (and have gotten free apps, like the Weather Channel and Dolphin [not HD, though--oops]). Be sure that you're using Download to PC as the option.
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
Gstore

Thanks for the info.

By download to PC you mean to say i need to download and then side load onto tablet?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
When you choose download to PC, Handango will download the .apk to your tab. Then you can just launch that. (You should get a notification in the notification bar that it's been downloaded, then you click on that and the installer launches.)
[G Tablet General] lintmail:
I was playing around the handango website and there is a free Handango mobile apps program. I downloaded (on Droid 2) and it is just a bookmark to their website. Haha.

Another option for downloading is "emailing" the link to your phone. This seems handy. You can browse via computer and then email to yourself. Later you click on the email link on the tablet and install.

FYI - there is angry birds.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm not going to be very objective as I always like the TnT status bar. I just dislike the homescreen.

I think there are enough fixes in this update to warrant an upgrade. Just the better camera and the fixed mounting issues are reasons enough, imo.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
CWM process

Okay, one of the few mods I did was the CWM do that I was able to try and get a backup before modding anything. That being said, it looks as if this causes issues with the VS update, so what do I need in order to update?

Also, do I need to go through the marketplace fix mentioned in the other threads, or does the update leave all that alone?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, they don't play nice. You could probably rip out the recovery.img piece and then run it as an update.zip. That should work as I did this, myself. Or, just wait for TnT Lite 2.00 which is what I'm working on, now.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
How do you manually install the update? I have CWM on as well (on a stock G Tab) and want to try the update.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I am not touching this until Roebotized:

UI options

Nvidia patch

At least ;)
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
^This^

:) he he
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Does the following still work with the update?

1. Flash app

2. Nvidia patch (Angry Birds luv)

3. Market hack, via Titanium... I guess the answer is no to at least this one, until rooted.
[G Tablet General] thx69:
Reboot into recovery and install the update.zip from wherever you placed in the GTablet.

I wiped cache first... not sure if is needed.

Market fix works. Youtube works. Flash works.

Nvidia Fix? Not sure... Don't play Angry Birds lol

Edit: Superclick Root still works for superuser access.
[G Tablet General] krustee:
Remember

IT folks at the top dont think like we do. they think in terms of 80/20 80% of the people will get the update ota, they other 20% will do it another way. They get it out to the 80 while they figure out the best way to do it for the other 20%. It will come in due time.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I am not updating. I am on tnt light, with flash, youtube and my modded contacts and calendar apps syncing with exchange at work...My wifi switches pretty well back and forth from home network and wifi tether when i have it activated. With my choice of home screens and wall paper, full market with mod....what more could I want????? ( a choice of keyboards!) That is it. Thanks Roebeet!
[G Tablet General] KorbenD:
Will someone with this firmware installed please try out Google Sky and see if the compass is now functional?

Thank you!
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
I'll wait for your TnT Lite 2.00. I liked that one as well. Thanks.....
[G Tablet General] KinkyMunkey:
Does the sound work now? I have horrible problems with it cutting out (I have to turn it all the way off and back on to get it back)

Can you use other keyboards now? I haven't been able to enable any other keyboards after I install them

can somebody try squareup.com? The swiper was recognized but wouldn't actually read the cards when i tried it.

I think i might update the firmware this weekend, i just hate to have to reinstall everything now that I have it all setup :-(
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Unable to download stock update.. .mediafire says "processing download request" forever??
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I got it last night, 2267 IIRC. Installed OK and actually makes use of the selected timezone now, which must've been saved but not used before as after the update it magically popped back up with the correct timezone/time.

Added facebook app... (whooopppeeee)

Added "gMarket" app, but it seems to only open a browser to the android section of, I guess, pocketgear and for my "test" app, FBReaderJ it only offered a download link, whihc I did, but never could locate. (Only using internal mem ATM, i.e. no uSD installed.) So I sideloaded FBReader...

That was about all I checked out with the fw to date as I wanted to try using it as a reader which was a disaster. 10" is OK for web browsing, but sucks badly for use as a reader... need a decent 7" again now Nook Color(if it gets some love) or Archos 70 as last resort.

TnT and all, this is the first tablet that I've liked this much OOB. Just makes the GT and WPDN look so extra lousy.
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
yea john. I agree. I had the GenTouch and it was terrible. Obviously for $149 or whatever we paid for it. haha!

The G has a lot of possibilities for it to be a great device.. I'm sure this update helped. and once it gets Roebotized it will be even better. Between that and the xda community we have Market, Flash, AB, and most other things working fine.. but no changes to the kernel at all is pretty surprising actually. lol.

The G has some pretty great hardware, it was well made. a few issues I had was no hdmi dock. That will come soon i'm assuming. The soft keys having no lights is a big issue and makes Zero sense to build it that way. They are also to close to the edge and when trying to hold the device I was constantly accidentally hitting back, or home or something. That was getting old. The BSOD when coming out of sleep was killing me also.. but looks like things are improving. I'll definitely keep following this section. But the more I think about it. Maybe Viewsonic or TnT should not actually follow this thread and area. lol. all it will do it make them stress out. Cuz we will see faults that 95% of consumers will not.. That and xda is going to do what xda is going to do. lol. If they expect us to leave the devices completely stock. They will be disappointing. lol. as we love to tinker. Anyways enjoy your updates guys. Maybe I should start looking for a refurb
[G Tablet General] jmfrost:
Do you still have your Gentouch? I have about a week to take mine back. Trying to decide if it would be goo enough for the wife...after modding.
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
yea it's somewhere.. lol. The Gentouch was terrible. Swype worked ok on it though
[G Tablet General] WhiskeyJac:
update opengl drivers

Update works great Flash still works and it's nice to have somekind of market. Does anybody have a link to unpdated OpenGL drivers for the Gtab?
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Not to derail the thread, but the things that really got me about the GT were the ABSOLUTELY HORRID touch screen which MAY have been OK w/more updates/better calib and how Augen just gave up on it so quickly and never even tried to get source again apparently.

Just hoping here that if I end up sticking with the gTab (hw is awesome and even with TnT coming from craplets it feels fast) but I also intended my tablet for reading in poorly lit locations/times of day and 10" is just not going to do that for me as it's, as feared, too large and unwieldly. Just wish that there existed a 7" Tegra form factor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaser18t:
Well I am taking back my white evo for the 2nd time now for the screen lifting and the back cover not really fitting right. They are going to let me go through all of them and find a solid one... think I will be getting the black one cuz all the white one have been built ****ty... my question is what hardware version should I get... they have a 0001 but I don't know if that is the old ****ty display? What version is easier to root...0001 0002 0003 0004? What is the deference between the 4...

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
I mean i cant say i have the best but i have had no problems launch day evo 0002, easy root too
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaser18t:
Does it have the Epson display?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
ive never even heard of a 0001, might be a pre release developer version

0004 will probably come with a 2.02 hboot which may cause some problems and you cant use some custom rom cameras

i have a 0003 evo and ive never had a single problem with it, 0002's are also pretty stable
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaser18t:
Well I guess I'm not 100% its a 0001. I was told and read somewhere that on the box there was a 001,002,003,or a 004. But now after looking at my box it has a 003 but phone says hardware version 0004.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
i would say best overall would be 003, 0002 aint bad either, 0004 bad for rooting, 0001 if it exists, idk, anyway i have a novatek i believe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
sounds like a box with a refurb in it

the only place i could find a number simiilar to that was above the sku on my box, and it said 001, but mine is and always has been 003
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
yeah it has to be bc i have a launch day evo and its 0002 novatek
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrown245:
I have a 003 and i havent had one problem. Dont know much about the other versions except on the 004 the buttons are a little off ( volume are higher then mine )

sent from the phone that is EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaser18t:
Do the 0002's have the nova screen? And are those the ones that are capped at 30 fps? Damn not sure which one to get... one thing is for sure no more white one :( both have been just built badly
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
No offense, i think you have to research a little more lol, first with the 0001 and then the novatek 30 fps, the 30 fps was built into the stock kernal from htc, this is now fixed with the latest updates...both screens have 60 fps, well almost...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genjinaro:
No more FPS cap, HTC removed it awhile ago.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoreactionzox:
well good luck i am on my 7th evo yes 7th i started from launch day june 4th got it from radio shack ever sense then i have had problems on the nova screens its more separation problems and on the epson itsa more dead pixel i have a epson 004 build now it have 1 dead pixel and i am having separation problems to i have never fault a screen that is even on the evo besides at the sprint store they all have rough edges like the bottom would be set higher then the top its not just me 7 evos and now im waiting for the damn library to open up so i can print this damn forum out and copy my id asurion is making me do this bull **** now but if this next evo is the same way then be looking in the sky for it because im ready to throw it across the world lol i love the epic build but not as customizable i have both
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaser18t:
So I should just get a 0004? And wait to root till I see better results on the 0004?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
if your not looking to root, get an 004, if your looking to root, get a 0002 or 0003 simple as that its your choice
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr3636:
HTC desire, rooted, rom: payes 2.1 sense rom. used it for 5-6 months now with success.

previous to reboot: updated 4 apps (ES task mng, ES file exp, google transl, keepasdroid). network(edge) stopped working properly, so I though maybe a reboot would fix it.

after reboot:

"The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try agin [button: Force close]"

only thing I can do is click force close, which just brings the message up again.. essentially I can't do a thing.

I can boot into recovery. I know how to use some adb commands (no expert, but can read write-ups and do it).

Help!! what to do?

edit:

* I can access power off (so taking battery is not nessesary - event though I'v done that too)

* after updating the apps above, I used the phone many hours. so networking hang hasn't anything to do with that I think. but those updates might be causing problems at boot??

* I'v tried taking out memory card - but same result
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr3636:
ok, should have done a search before I posted.

found a solution at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723218

"If you are locked up in a loop where HTC Sense acts up and starts to force close, use the search key and type the first few letters for "Applications". You should be able to access the Applications settings menu. Go into "Manage applications". Go into "HTC Sense" and tap "Clear data". This will erase all your Scenes but it's better than doing a hard reset."

Here's the multi-touch 3D gallery with pinch peek from the desire/i9000.

Clockwork zip: http://download949.mediafire.com/cmb44kbfkcgg/ae0zibj706wk7ul/pinchpeek_3D_gallery.zip

To see what pinch peek is, pinch an album and pull it apart.

That's awesome man, i'm gonna try it out now. Thanks for this!
[Epic 4G Themes] b-reezy:
No problem, added a flashable zip for everyone.
[Epic 4G Themes] brizzle1986:
Is this for 2.1?

Umm yea this is sexy...works perfect...just replaced file in system/app and it worked to the T, great release!

Its from froyo, probably why its in the quantam rom. This is probably the same version included too. But this works on 2.1 & 2.2
[Epic 4G Themes] Hasseo:
Thanks man I'll be testing this out soon!
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
I checked it out- no, this is way better! there's way more pinch to zoom functionality in this version you posted. The thumbnails spread out further, and the highlights are much nicer. Applied zip thru clockwork- Awesome.

[Epic 4G Themes] idkwhothatis123:
This is the same gallery... okay never mind.
[Epic 4G Themes] smoothone:
Tried it but it seems to run a bit slower than the included gallery. The previews are cool but sort of gimmicky. Its easier and faster just to click on your album and scroll to see what's in it. Actually the roms gallery runs much faster on my phone than this one does.
[Epic 4G Themes] hayabusa1300cc:
can someone compile the stock gallery?

this one is too slow. same version i tried on the evo

its nice to zoom in clear on this on though

i need to be able to flash the stock gallery in clockwork. thanks
