You may be correct. But, I'm not so concerned with Gingerbread right now, just the 2.2 upgrade later this month. There's no telling when the HDMI/hybrid cable will make it stateside from China for the Viewsonic. And, if they haven't fixed all the crap we've had to wade through on this forum to get this thing remotely close to passable by Black Friday sales, Viewsonic will be toast. LOL!

Can you imagine the everyday consumer turning this thing on to see what we saw with the TNT & no Flash Returns with be en masse!!!
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
Yup, black friday will be a disaster with no market, or flash like the box says. but yea.. Anyways I have a few things i don't like about the G-tablet. and I'm not really banking on Viewsonic fixing software much.

There's some great dev's here though, doing some good things. I'm sure it will be smooth as butter very soon. The media aspects of Archos sold me, the HDMI out, it's coded for some serious media handling and playback. I'll be using it to my TV often also. That and the kickstand, and the entire top isn't glass so it wont break as easy if dropped. No fingerprints on the entire top like the G. and I wont accidentally hit the soft keys all day long.

Anyways. my UPS is showing up now :D

Anyone know how I can pull the TnT keyboard n use on the Archos 101?
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
Agreed al round!!

What's your delivery date???
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'd also like to hear a comparison between the two, if you have the time (I had pre-ordered the 101 until the Gtab showed up in my sites). I'm hearing mixed reviews on the LCD and I'm curious if it has the same viewing angle issues.

And if you could do a dump of /system, that would be awesome. I'd love to be able to port their media player over to the GTab. :)
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
MY delivery date isn't up yet, but UPS is showing Signature Confirmation Required. I work tomorrow and monday. damnit. I better have someone around to get it.

Yes beet, i will do whatever you need.. I saw a few video's of the 101 and 70 in action, and those video's alone the viewing angles seemed better than the G. My own video shows how bad the angles can be. That is why that video made me think otherwise.. Oh and there's a very good file manager that i think the 101 and 70 has. but I'm not sure. I also read rageinthecage gives temp root on the Archos. So we can temp root, do a titanium backup or what not if needed. but thats unconfirmed.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
a combination of the two would be ideal. once we get the official hdmi dock that will eliminate the need for the kickstand and the hdmi port. i just hope that viewsonic is gonna get some updates out to us quick. i know what you're saying about not being worried about gingerbread right now(however i believe i meant honeycomb, tablets will be shipping with it soon http://androidandme.com/2010/11/tab...th-tegra-2-could-arrive-as-early-as-february/) but i also do not want a device that will be outdated soon after i buy it. i would love to see a comparison of the 2 though while you have them both.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
i agree, i am really looking towards an htc tablet as well. also i meant to say honeycomb not gingerbread(see link above), i believe that is whats supposed to be optimized for tablets. but when the htc tablets start rolling out my wife or daughter gets the g and i will get a new htc:D
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
I'm right there with you dude! If/when that HTC tablet hits, my daughter gets a hand-me-down! LOL!

[G Tablet General] jadekey:
I am interested to know the plug-in comes with 101. I owned 2 of Archos 605 wifi devices. Archos charge for every plug-in. FOr example, DVD Mpeg2 play back, Web browser, Cinema plug-in. All plug-ins cost me almost same as the device. SPecially, the plug-ins are serial number specific, I can't reuse the same plug-in in the other one device I own. I am so curious to see what included in the price. As I saw the plug-in is downloadable but is option. Just my experience.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Agreed. Flash performance, game emulators and Quake already play far better on the G-Tablet.

Out of box though, the 101 is better (obviously).

Tinker types = Gtablet
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
Ugghhh! UPS updated. My device will be here Monday not tomorrow. :-(
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
Archos, ZPad(GTablet) and Toshiba are compared in this forum post. Interesting things regarding their selection of LCD screens and comparison of multitouch capabilities, viewing angles. Interesting read.

http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1521745&extra=page=2
[G Tablet General] LTL11:
Good read, seems the 101 is better out of the box but will be outdated very quickly.
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: G-Tab VS Archos 101

Alright . . . this will be brief but I'll report back after the holiday. After the 1st couple of hours, I REALLY questioned my Archos 101 purchase. Although it's lighter, prettier than the G-tablet, the 2.1 really hampers performance. BUT, once i did a hard reset, installed ATK, and acquired temporary root (with Z4Mod), all is well with the world!

Movies play great. Audio is fantastic. Just applied my antiglare screen protector & that helped viewing angles tremendously. The angles aren't nearly as bad as the G-Tablet, in my opinion. Yes, the colors washout at certain angles, but still not as bad as a flat out black screen. Temporary root allowed me to restore with Titanium, which was a God-send. Full Market, Ap-Libs, and Applanet gives me all the FREE apps I need.

Taking it on the plane tomorrow for its first road trip. Will report back next week.

Happy Thanksgiving All!!!
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
I wish we could port over the video player to the g tablet, also I wish we had a good anti glare screen protector.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The Archos media player is on my wish list, but it might be so intertwined with their framework that it would be impossible to rip out. Looking for a 101 system.img......
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
I can't get ADB to recognize it. I read somewhere in a nother thread to use the Samsung driver, but even still ADB doesn't see it. The Arcos site has ADB drivers for the Archos 5, but no other device.

any thoughts? As soon as I can get ADB, I'll pull the files for you.
[G Tablet General] aamon17:
Here's what i bought. It should fits the touch screen area on the G-Tab perfectly (minus the side buttons). The screens are exactly the same size.
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
What screen protector did you get for the Archos? how does it fit. Did you pay for overnight shipping. I ordered within about 5 minutes on Thursday and did 2 day shipping and mine will be here today cuz they didn't ship til way late Friday.

Anytime today, and I'll report back also.

[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
How does it feel sliding you're hand on the screen protector, and does it make the screen look grainy, or lower the image quality like a lot of those do?

[Captivate General] zielins1:
Quick question. I've flashed modems before when installing a rom (like any of the i9000 kernels) but was wondering if that modem stays when I flash a rom like, Cognition. Are there times when the modem stays? If I flashed to, I think it was JG8 to get HSUPA with an i9000 kernel, if I decide to go back to the CogKernel, do I have to swap out the modem again?
[Captivate General] wonder186:
I believe when you flash COG it will also flash a new modem. I dont' recall which one DG has in the latest COG. Anyone?

Im not sure if anyone cares for this, but i'd like to find out if its possible to write a script or have some sort of tweak to turn off notification sounds and status when your already in a text message conversation? Basically im a fairly avid text message user as i use it for business and personal use. But one huge annoyance is when im in the conversation and the user sends another message. I have to deal with the notification bar letting me know i have a text and deal with the tone. Its a very small annoyance, but it does get annoying when your typing away and the system has to catch up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Sorry guys, I have searched through, tried all possible things... but cannot get things working... here's my story (long, but gives the whole picture)

1. Was on CM 6.0 (stable) and Amon RA 1.7 recovery

2. Got a new SD card (8gb class 6)

3. Had Nand backups, so just removed the old card and inserted the new

4. Booted into recovery, partitioned SD card, copied CM 6.1.0 RC and gapps onto the SDCard

5. Performed Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik-cache and flashed CM 6.1.0 rc and gapps

6. Booted into the ROM, signed into my account, got all my apps from market

7. Everything was running fine

8. Booted into recovery, made a Nand backup and installed Steel my Elegance

9. Booted into the ROM and realized something was not correct, so decided to restore from the Nand backup

10. Booted into recovery and tried to restore - failure, asked me to run nand backup from adb

11. Did that but that did not resolve the situation

12. Performed step #5 (above) again and got it to the original state

13. Did not login into my account, as I wanted to get a backup of a fresh install

14. Booted into recovery made a Nand backup successfully

15. Just to be on the safer side, tried restoring... did not work. Same error - run SH from adb - tried that, but did not work

16. Read somewhere on the forums to wipe cache before backup and try, did that backed up and tried restoring - no go

17. Decided to flash ClockWork recovery - did that through terminal (ROM booting properly)

18. Booted into recovery - successfull

19. Tried creating Nand backup - failed at Cache - cannot image cache error message or something

20. Performed format SD card, cache, system and all other formats available from the recovery (ClockWork mod)

21. Tried performing nand backup - created some folders/files under the clockwork mod folder with junk characters

22. Performed a SD card format from computer (FAT32)

23. Booted into recovery and tried nand backup - no go

24. Decided to revert back to Amon RA 1.7 - flashed through terminal and rebooted into recovery - phone won't go to recovery

25. Though there might be some problem with the img file, so downloaded from multiple locations and tried it - still no go

26. Followed all sorts of instructions - mount/remount, flash_image - no go. When I do flash_image recovery <image name>, the command exits without any errors, but still can't boot into recovery

27. Installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery from within, still no go.

28. Performed "Fix permissions" - ended with "Could not run some privileged commands"

29. I can still boot into the ROM and when I go to terminal can do SU - takes me to "#" from "$" - so I am guessing I still have root

It just doesn't add up... and I feel very lost, right now. I guess the only thing remaining to do is go back to 2.1 RUU, reroot and go from there. Is there any other way? Or did I do something wrong?

Can someone please help?

Edit: I had enough battery juice or wall power plugged into the phone while trying the backups and restores...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I hate that you had to go that route, but atleast all is well now. It couldve been worse and not even let you RUU :eek: Thats a Scary thought!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
No kidding... :D. It was so frustrating, just going through it all.

Originally, I had rooted my phone that had 2.31.651.7 on it. So, I applied that RUU and went through the root. It seemed to have rooted fine, but then it won't allow me to flash recovery - did the same steps as I had performed during my first rooting process, but didn't work. Then went through all possible ideas suggested on the forums... still no luck. So, finally put the 2.27.651.5 RUU, followed regaw_leinad's rooting method and everything worked out.

All-in-all a good learning experience :).

BTW, for anyone that is reading, I think the issue was a corrupted SD card. I might have pulled it while the phone was running and then applied a corrupted recovery image.

-Select the PIT file from Odin

-Select the PDA and select the downloaded image

-Plug your phone in download mode

I'm trying to get back to Stock from Cognition and followed the above steps. I chose the PIT and PDA files.... for the phone image I unzipped the file and chose I896UCJI2-homebinary.tar under the "Phone" setting (is this correct?).

I hit START (in download mode), but after a short while, it just says "FAIL" in Odin, with the Message:

<ID:0/013> factoryfs.rfs

<ID:0/013>

<ID:0/013> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Any tips?

Edit: Interesting... I had to hard reset to get out of Download Mode, and everything seems okay. Except that I have the AT&T splash screen now, even though I didn't before hand (coming from Cognition ROM, not AT&T).

Hmmm... At least the phone is working and back to stock...

Edit #2: Okay, so now I have AT&T ROM installed (I see AT&T apps). That explains the splash screen. I thought the downloads in Post#2 were for Rogers?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Rogers never released the stock firmware, this is a mash up with stock firmware and AT&T files to fill in the gaps or vice versa. That's why we have the AT&T screen at boot.

You can now remove it by flashing XXUJP_param.tar (with Odin) and copying the right image named logo_ATNT.jpg onto /mnt/.lfs.

It's a SD-LCD that was made especially for this phone. It stands for Super Duper Lemon-Cherry Drops
[Desire HD Accessories] JamesBarnes:
Point taken, edited :p
[Desire HD Accessories] quarintus:
To awnser your question, it has S-LCD.

It is stated everywhere when you search on google. Couldn't find a offcial statement from HTC that fast, but if you just search you find it out.

Why do you want to know?

(S-lcd has uses IPS instead of a tn-panel) No I can't explain what it means. Lolz :')
[Desire HD Accessories] JamesBarnes:
I wanted to know because i had read that it hadnt :)

They claimed that HTC never actually said it does (and i couldnt find anywhere that stated it did) and people just assumed it was SLCD...

Thats why i wanted sources :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Then why does it say 'Amoled' when you go on web pages which offer pay monthly/pay as you go deals?? But after research it has been confirmed as S-LCD
[Desire HD Accessories] quarintus:
No it hasn't got Amoled. The site you read that state that are wrong.

It initially was the planning to put AMOLED on there, but the manufacturer of those displays had problems. Therfore HTC wouldn't get the AMOLED displays.

The more recent articles (that aren't faulty) state that is has S LCD.

A source that is right most of the time is pocketnow.com. They also state when it's about a rumor or when is it is real and what their sources are.
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Pocketed.con ok I'll be using that site from now on thanks.
[Desire HD Accessories] hamdir:
desire HD has an improved LCD screen, 16M colors, improved black levels and sharp definition

however its not SLCD, levels between white and black are a little washed out and its viewing angles are weak

compared to the HD2/EVO screens its much better, its actually a little cleaner compared to the SLCD desire screen (more successful text anti alising) however the colours and view angles are weaker, its also possible to see the pixel grid in grey areas if you are too picky

coming from SLCD desire to the DHD screen, it felt like a downgrade in quality, few days after i started to like it, the definition is very smooth and at 4.3 inch everything is more enjoyable
[Desire HD Accessories] nmyseteroious:
Okay if S-LCD means IPS then DHD definitely doesn't have an S-LCD.

If it's IPS then the viewing angle should be really wide.
[Desire HD Accessories] quarintus:
Talked to HTC

So I did some research.

So I called HTC to ask the question. The girl had to look up it. Said: it's TFT LCD. I said: I know. But is it S-LCD, it's a new generation of screens, you used it also one the normal Desire when it wasn't an AMOLED screen.

She said it are the newer screens.

In this forum someone has it in his title that he emaild HTC and they said it is SLCD.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8185304

So it probably is S-LCD.

This last youtube video is probably the explanation why HTC hasn't stated it's SLCD and that is actually is S-LCD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JuvacCCVXw

But when I hear the girl laughing when she tell it, I can't stop thinking they just called it Super-LCD to mock samsung with their Super AMOLED and it is stil a regular S-LCD.

[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
I was getting off the bus the other day at a busy stop and just saw something black and shiney on the floor so I picked it up and put it in my pocket and checked it later to be surprised it wad a droid 1. Disconnected obviously but I rooted it and hooked it up with games for my daughter.

Question is... money is tight, can this be sold even if it was reported lost? I know gsm phones aren't a problem, just swap the sim card out, I even updated jailbroke and unlocked a disabled iphone 3g. I heard if the esn reports back with a balance or its been reported lost that its useless.

More then likely the esn number has been flagged so it will not work. Secondly, show some good karma and return the phone. Whoever may have lost may not have had insurance.

Just contacted the owner yesterday (he was still logged into facebook on the droid when I found it) and he told me he upgraded to the Droid X (like me) and told me to toss the phone. My conscience is clear.
