[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhankhaduy:
I sent in my x10a to get repaired and they sent me a new phone because it was "defective". Anyway, I live in Toronto, ON. I got the original phone from Rogers. The weird thing is that when I boot up the new x10 that I got, it says AT&T instead of the ugly Rogers boot screen.

I'm planning to unlock my phone so. Is there any other way to check whether my phone is locked by AT&T or Rogers? Besides putting a Rogers SIM card in and checking?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telegraph0000:
I don't know why the phone is doing this, but the bacllight on the buttons stays on 24 hours a day regardless of status of phone (sceen off at standby, screen on while in use, screen on but dimmed while not on use). I mean, it's okay at night, but the 5 buttons stay lit every minute of every day regardless of rom. The only way they'll stay off is if I turn the phone off completely.

Kinda driving me nuts...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yorkshire Yellow:
I have the 'NetRipper KeypadLedControl' cab installed, which has the hardware key lights on all the time whilst the device in on. Perhaps if you look at any threads running for that cab, they might help you, or try installing and then uninstalling the cab?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telegraph0000:
Done and done some time ago...I was excited, but it didn't do anything....
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
12/1 UPDATE -- this has superseded by a newer fix that also fixes the camera, and removes the questionable VOLD binary. It is part of TnT Lite 2.1.0 and above.

This update is EXPERIMENTAL and I would recommend the utmost caution attempting this. I would recommend that you make a full backup with a tool like clockworkmod recovery first. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

What this is

A update to the Tegra drivers and library files. We discovered this thanks to mcb00f , as it was originally designed as performance pack for the Advent Vega.

This significantly improves the performance of the tablet - Quadrant scores on TnT Lite increase to 2300+ and the browser definitely seems faster. This update.zip should also be mod-agnostic and might work on the zPad and possibly CM6.1. Again, use at your own risk!

EDIT: Rothnic reports that this variant should work on zPad: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9480565&postcount=36. There's some issues with the vold binary and permissions that required a separate package for zPad.

EDIT2: new update for zPad, from Rothnic: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9493631&postcount=105

Why this is a experimental build / known issues

One known issue is that this will break the camera. We have not been able to figure out how to fix this, and perhaps we never will. Go on the assumption that the camera will be broken as long as you use this experimental update. There could also be other issues that we haven't found yet.

EDIT: On my Ubuntu x64 system, I cannot seem to properly copy files to /sdcard anymore. They seem to work, but clockworkmod cannot run them, for reasons unknown. I can also mount /data onto my Ubuntu PC, which I've never been able to do before.

Link to update.zip based file, for TnT Lite 2.x: http://www.mediafire.com/?w53wue1bkjduanq

md5sum: 70b1156ef1f78ae67a0c01684b4eb6c3

I would recommend clockworkmod to use this update (just run it as a update.zip file) -- the zip is designed with that in mind, and if you aren't semi-technical you should probably avoid this update, anyway. I am not going to support this like I would the TnT Lite build - if you have major problems, you should just revert back to your previous build - I would not consider this stable and, as mentioned, it will break things.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
How is storage mapping? Still working correctly?

Saw your reply in the other thread. No change to current TnT mapping.
[G Tablet Android Development] thedudevt:
Thanks again roebeet!

I started with 2.02 - The Camera App doesn't work, no biggie, but the tablet is much smoother. Scrolling in ADW.Launcher is noticeably smoother. Quadrant Benchmark scores were ~1850 and are now 2550.

I can see SDCard and SDCard2 in Root Explorer. No Problems there.

So far, this is an awesome update. Recommended unless you need the camera.

TheDude
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Installed successfully, browser definitely feels faster. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
No issues with storage. The camera is borked and my only other concerns right now are things like audio and video playback.
[G Tablet Android Development] mhoepfin:
Working, although was getting force closes so I did a wipe in cw which took care of it.
[G Tablet Android Development] wlawyer:
This thing is flying now.. no issues except camera as reported, thanks again.
[G Tablet Android Development] f4systems:
Does not load on CM6.1 beta 4
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
gojimi might have a fix for the camera. I'm going to test it out and, assuming no issues, I might integrate into a future TnT Lite supplement. For now, there's this experimental update to play around with.

EDIT: Might not be working. Don't get your hopes up.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Flash still work? With better drivers, should perform even better, as well as video files that are not Flash.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I tested Flash and it still works. Performance seems about the same to me. But the browser in general seems faster to render.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Thanks! Can we update without clearing cache & data and then starting from scratch again? :)
[G Tablet Android Development] jtbnet:
I can understand the why not clear data... but why would you Not want to clear cache? I have always cleared cache with updates even if I thought the update may be doing it also, as in the past I've seen so many unexplained problems when folks didn't... Only cost is a slower first restart... but has been a big win more than once, so I'd always opt for the slow first restart...
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Good point.... Can we update without clearing data?
[G Tablet Android Development] wlawyer:
My YouTube app seems much improved as well, no stuttering yet after several videos in a row.
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
Ditto on this. So far so good.
[G Tablet Android Development] xfernand:
Downloading.... have a long plane ride tomorrow. Will report when I land....

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] joshtheitguy:
Went from 1759 to 2335 on quadrant, the whole system seems much faster and I couldn't care less about the camera.

Seriously the camera sucks ass on this thing to begin with so nothing of value was lost. :p

oh btw youtube actually works now!
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Wow!

Youtube works perfectly, as does the always picky G4 client app. Flash seems to be better too. To test this, please go to a more challenging site that may have been iffy before. Case in point, the always merciless IGN.COM and watch a few reviews or trailers :)

Averaging 2400 with Quadrant (Min 2298 & Max 2518)

PSX4Droid is faster too, so nice icing on an already nice performing cake there. Tekken 3 is close to full FPS now, if not full. This game chokes on standard atom netbooks. Sound is still an issue (barely OK), but that is the emulator- not the device.

Higher def wmv and MP4s that choked before, play smooth now (not tried 1080p, since overkill for a portable IMO ).

Roeby, to you and the person/s helping you I am humbled. Great job in making the device close to outstanding in less than a month. VS SHOULD BE PAYING YOU AND USING THIS AS A COMPLETE PACKAGE. Instant big seller. They are losing money NOT doing this.

BTW: 500gb Western Digital USB drives work fine in FAT32. Using one right now and NOT plugged into an outlet for the drive or Gtablet.

In summary: Dang! :) :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
h264 high profile videos still don't work, but I expected that - I believe that's a hardware limitation of the chipset. EDIT: Xvid standard def MKV's now work smooth in Rockplayer - but audio still goes out of sync. Getting better, though.

Live Wallpapers seem to bog the system down less. Previously, I would turn off LW's because of this.

I would love to get this integrated into TnT Lite as a stable update, but I'd have to test what gojimi is cooking up. I plan to do that tomorrow.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Yep, I had not gotten to higher def H264 vids. They still do not work, but other vids that were not smooth (I like using WMV's since they tend to show no mercy) are now.

This update is HUGE. Camera aside, I suggest a watershed moment for the device, but sadly just for modders :( Other folks that get this device during the holidays will have about one third of a device value (probably return to stores in droves), compared to the current accumulated rom package state here.

Somebody needs to talk some sense into Viewsonic before too late.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Viewsonic managment needs to have a meeting with TnT Inc and ask them when they plan on getting these Tegra enhancements into their build. And not accept "uhhhh, January. Maybe". Guess what? By then the holiday season is over amd you've lost your chance with consumers.

I actually use the camera and I'm keeping this performance boost anyway, that's how significant it is.
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
I'm wondering if people are seeing their battery life taking a hit, though? Mine seems to dropping kind of fast tonight.
[G Tablet Android Development] prking07:
Just to let you guys know, this fixes YouTube, IMDB, flixster and a couple other things. Videos on flixster are bad quality but that's flixsters problem, before it was just an error, this video cannot be played! IMDB app is way better for the gtab!
[G Tablet Android Development] proengin:
I would suggest asking the guys at Modaco forum to find out what camera is inside their Advent Vega. This is the thread showing naked pictures of Advent Vega.

[G Tablet Android Development] jatilq:
Neocore went from 23 fps to 46 fps. Quadrent shot up. I had to remove cmgb4 and install tnt lite 2.0

Thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] xmr405o:
I'm gonna wait until the official TnT Lite integration...it's gonna be tough. Haha..

Thank you so much for all your work.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
All I can say is WOW! It is like a different machine. I push a button, or touch the screen and it does it now... Not in a second or two but now..

I almost wonder if this thing wasn't running on only one core or something. I tried it at first with CM6B4 and it hung at the opening "Android" screen. Went back to TnTLite2 and it works great. I was having a blast watching it install apps from the market. Once downloaded they would be installed in seconds.

The camera seems to be so close to working. It will take pictures, and put them in the gallery. It just takes green screen pictures that match the green screen you see. Doesn't matter to me. I probably look better all green!:)
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
OMG. Roebeet and mcb00f, you two have made a great tablet spectacular! Quadrant score on 2.00: 1770. Quadrant score on 2.03: 2480. I made another video of the two tests as well as me updating from 2.00 to 2.03 so people can see that there was no monkey business involved with the score.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbcfA9u9O5w

Great work, gents!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] mcbooth:
So good to hear, and I dont even have my tablet yet!!

Can't wait till it arrives and I can start playing around with it too
[G Tablet Android Development] xmr405o:
I was thinking...(yeah, it's scary thought for me)...when honeycomb comes out where it would take advantage of both cores...would our quadrant scores reach 5000+? :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] NiN39Z:
Couldnt u just take the camera drivers out of the newest tnt 2.0 files and replace it in this update so the camera works?
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
Anyone try this with zpad yet?
[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
Holy mother of ****!

This thing flies even more now! I was getting 28fps in Neocore, 1885 in quadrant advanced and that is with live wallpapers running. Now I am getting 44fps and over 2400 with live wallpapers running. Linpack is the same, but that is to be expected, about the same as my N1 still; seems the new core architecture would improve it some, but the drivers are early still.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yes it works for ZPad Clean 2.0, except the /system/bin/vold breaks something with USB mounting to computer, and supposedly there was a permission problem(radio vs root ownership).

The Zpad guys have tested this and uploaded this version that works for it.

http://www.multiupload.com/E02DHE4XGH

We tried to keep this separate, but it looks like it isn't going to be ROM agnostic.
[G Tablet Android Development] NewbTrader:
How's the battery life?

Has anyone noticed if battery life has suffered at all? Just curious if anyone's used this for an extended period of time yet, and how it fared.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Linked to this in my Flash post, in the "Apps" section. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
We tried that already, and could not get it to work. Seems like there's something intertwined with the tegra driver update. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
[G Tablet Android Development] wlawyer:
I have had it since last night and have not noticed any significant battery loss but even if I lost 10 or 15 percent the speed is worth it (that would still last beyond my needs). It does seem to get a bit warmer to me, not hot or dangerous by any means but just a bit warmer by the dock port. Could just all be in my head though.
[G Tablet Android Development] edgevision:
Guys, I'm really confused... I flashed this and I have a huge performance increase (especially in the browser), but my camera still works...
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
You are "The One". :)
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
Build etc. please :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Marine? MOS? I was an 0331 :)
[G Tablet Android Development] edgevision:
Running TnT Lite 2.02... but now I'm thinking that maybe the update just didn't do anything? I flashed it from CWM, but my Quadrant score is only 2100 after reboot (with overclock.) Weird.
[G Tablet Android Development] cahiatt:
The only other problem I noticed is that on my device I lose the internal memory. That 13.x gig is gone. I've tested it on TnTLite and CM6b2. I do have ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1 versus the newer 2.5.1.2. Will upgrade CWM and see if that changes anything. Other than that this update makes this thing NICE.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
I was a 5811/5813.

Semper Fi, brothers!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
A question on testing

I added the gojimi update, but the Quadrant numbers are low - but it still seems faster to me.

Is there a sure-fire metric to test the speed bump? One of you mentioned Engadget, but is there an app test of some kind that I can gauge the performance increase? Or a video test? Thanks.

What I'm guessing is that the gojimi update fixes something that is noticeable, but doesn't give us the whole package. That could at least go into the TnT Lite supplement, if I'm right.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
When I try to install, this Flash apk shows same as current apk we are using and will not update. Am i missing something?
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Marine geeks! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The version number is the same, but there might be something different under the hood.
[G Tablet Android Development] jacindc:
Am noticing mine never left sleep mode overnight, and went from about 45% battery to 23%.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
File is same size, but if just a few flags or parameters set differently, it would be the same size, but make a difference. Then again, I would expect a different Flash version number.

Any comparisons yet :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
My system is completely trashed, at the moment. :O
[G Tablet Android Development] edgevision:
X_X uh.. permanently?
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
what happened i was just about to insert the SDcard with the update on it. you know Iam not that saavy should i wait even though i want you tube to work correctly and I dont use the camera either.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I can mount /data to my PC, after this update

/data is ext3 and I use Ubuntu, so it can read it. I am assuming this is vold, which in itself is very interesting. That might be the eventual fix for VS and our microSD.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Just installed and this thing is flying, havent had much time to play with it. Keep us updated Roebeet, you are the man.

Edt: Just read about things not going well, maybe I should have waited before installing. Oh well, I'll be one of your beta testers, will report back with any issues I come across.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Two things Roeby:

1. What happened to cause the problem? Perhaps the community needs to chip in and provide resources for another Gtablet? I would be happy to chip in :)

2. The one issue I notice since the update is Astro file manager is very slow in file edits and moving files. It also does not see files after moving them unless a reboot. Strange.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Dupe post.....
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
Yeah I hosed mine hard core last night. Had to push clock work via apx then repartition then reflash from 1.02 to 2.0 to 2.02 to beta.

Not sure what happened either on this end *shrug* god bless apx mode :D
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
what is apx mode
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
if you power off the tablet then hold volume down and power it back on the screen comes up then goes blank, but the tablet is still on. this is apx mode. you then can push a component such as vanilla tnt or clockwork to the device. :)

:D
[G Tablet Android Development] Chenglu:
thanks..............
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
oh ok yeah that gets me to CWM.
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
CWM is actuall volume up. But is the button furthest away from power. :D

Volume down is closer to the power button... It's ok took me a while to re-learn that from my evo which is exact opisite.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
I would be glad to chip in also.

Let's us know.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Ok i have never done that before. What is the different of apx and cwm? I am a noob to this so what what do you mean by push a componet?
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
Ok think of apx as connecting the device as a rom programmer. all your really doing is putting code directly on the rom/ram. There is no interaction on the tablet side but since its accessable even if you hose the entire partition you can easily recover.

Nvidia corporation have apx drivers avaliabe for linux / windows that allow you on the computer side to program the rom/ram with a command line.

like say you want to put clockwork on as your recovery and cannot put anything on the card (say you borked the boot/partition)

You can boot to apx (volume down and power) and use nvflash (comes with the nvidia sdk) to put clockwork on the device.

i think the command is nvflash --bootloader.bin --download 9 clockwork.img (or whatever you named it).

in this way it is really hard to permantly screw up the software side of this device :)
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
And this is what makes the G-Tab so dev-friendly. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I'm back in action. I guess I should never say "bricked", more liked "temporarily out of service". Doing some really weird stuff with the device, right now.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
thanks my friend that helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Thats great I held off on installing it. How close to being a stable 2.0.3?
[G Tablet Android Development] flipper9:
Using CM 6.1 Beta 4: The install seemed to work and I cleared the cache before reboot. Got stuck at the android text boot screen. Tried resetting to factory by clearing data and cache but same result. It seems to have broken my cm beta 4 install.

Now installed TNT lite 2.02 with this update and all is now noticeably faster and I can confirm the camera is broken.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
anyone try to see if an external usb video cam will work?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Roebeet - I was running ZPad 1.1 with this new tegra 2 driver pack (not the one redone for ZPad) last night and this morning, and it was flying, but I ended up with corruption in my user partition this morning and had to restore the user data from a backup.

This might also be because this driver update seems to have borked up the power off function a bit - instead of turning off, my G Tab started rebooting when powering off, and had to force it off mid-reboot, which is probably what corrupted the file system in the first place.

I think I need to start with a clean ZPad 2 install, use the driver updates packaged for ZPad, re-install my apps, and see how everything runs for a day or two like that.

This update is clearly the most promising thing that's happened with G Tablet hacking yet!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon - we have no idea how to fix the broken camera. Plus, my /data keeps mounting on my PC which is very bizarre - I don't think Windows users would see this since it's /ext3 format, but in Ubuntu I have read/write access.
[G Tablet Android Development] it2steve:
Issues are showing up in the Zpad build and hack as well. Several reports (as well as myself) that it's causing issues with root and superuser. I dumped it on a zpad build and could not get root explorer nor titanium to work (wouldnt' get root access).

I tried a clean ZPad install with the update and got the same thing nad have seen several others with the same issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] greyspacealien:
WOW

First off roebeet thanks for all your work!

Installed update and the tablet is smoking fast quadrant score 2436. Camera broke but I really don't care.

After update I did have to apply the wpa_adhoc update again to get tethering working with my samsung vibrant.

Once again Thanks for time and effort.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
I applied the wpa update too, but can not get past "Obtaining address" with Incredible. Gtablet seeing the Incredible, but not connecting.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Hey it2steve - look a few pages back, there's now a version of the driver update specifically for ZPad that I think rothnic put together. Are you using that, or the original version (which seems to work well with TNT lite only).

Oddly enough, I have had some luck with the original version and ZPad 1.1. Some issues with screwed up user data partition, but I never lost root.

I plan on trying ZPad 2.0 with the ZPad specific driver update later tonight. Will report my results back.
[G Tablet Android Development] wlawyer:
I was wondering if I was the only one who that happened to. Seems to work fine now that the zip was applied again but I can't help wondering why it broke in the first place. Oh well everything is still going good on TT lite today with the driver update, no issues I can see so far.

Only thing I miss is taking all those high res pictures with my camera along with all the video chating i was doing. *apply sarcasm
