Till todate, microsoft still can't release the Asian languange input support.

This is a HALF COOKED OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
they've (microsoft) already told everyone... their launch of windows phone is in stages. they released to a selected amount of countries. and they will release to more when mango comes out. and with nokia also jumping in, it will encourage MS to make it as largely distributable as possible.

your input on the matter is very insightful though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] remyc:
Currently the best 3rd party Chinese input I think is "I'm Chinese". You could find it in the marketplace. At least you could send Chinese SMS and email after install it.

And after NoDo update, you could copy & paste Chinese to everywhere.

Although it's not very convenient, it works! Microsoft would release offical Chinese support in later this year. (The mango update)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phelony:
Ok so this will be my 7th android phone I am getting tomorrow.

I am getting it for sprints coverage increase over t-mobile.

Also for 4G

I am hoping to run cyanogen rom since thats what I had on my nexus and on my

MytouchSlide

Ok here are my q's

I keep seeing different ways to root. what is the advantage of one way over another? is there a large risk of bricking with the one click method? losing root?

i have heard something about a /s root? wtf does this mean. I have never heard of anything like this and I rooted all my phones myself up until this point.... Ive even rooted most of my friends phones.

4G I keep hearing people saying they lose 4G. How is this possible is their a way to NOT lose 4g? has anyone successfully flashed a rom without losing 4G?

I mean I would rather not root my phone than lose 4g but at the same time I really want a rooted phone.

since Cyanogen mod is pretty much useless to me what is another good rom?

how can I get to it without bricking or losing 4g?

So if someone could give me the rundown i would greatly appreciate it.

I am excited for the Evo but am hesitant based on what I have read...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
ok. whatever u do, DONT try rooting using Unrevoked, one-click, 1.47 method. none of dat crap.

This is ur answer for rooting.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

no automatic shz(maybe just some parts)

it works for any windows computer. just make sure u have adb set up on ur comp and ur good to go.

read the instructions and disclaimers.

make sure u have ur hboot drivers updated(theyre in the post but just go along)

cyanogenmod of course does not have 4G at this moment cuz they build their rom from ground up.

a good rom to use for like 4G and wifi tether and shz would be "Fresh"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743079

of course theres alot more roms out there for evo...u can take a look at mostly all of them here.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs

themes however are pretty hard to find. so i wont go there.

hboot is like the bootloader security program. if u notice, when u go to ur bootloader(holding power and volume down at the sametime) you'll see it says, Hboot 2.02 S-ON. my definition of that is,S=security-On. so obviously u wanna turn it off so u can get root, and that link i posted turns it off during the process. dats all there really is too it

I Tried to thank using a thanks button but i can't seem to find it.

Xda developers has changed so much since the good ol windows mobile days ( Motoq Represent lol)

so "Phelony has thanked you for your post

theres no chance you have skype is there lol?

I had some other questions... alot of redundancy but you get the point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
lol yeah i do actually have skype, but id prefer u to ask ur questions here so that if other users like yourself have any questions, they might find the answer on here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phelony:
Lol now you know as well as I do people don't actually read other threads. just the ones they post themselves lol.

So my questions are

I read there is a way to back up your 4g so if you ever **** yourself out of 4g you can restore.

Is this true?

I have heard alot of issues about a new camera... since mine will be purchased in 13 hours is their anything I have to worry about in regards to screwing the camera all up?

Also I had read not to use any other recovery other than the one that root tutorial includes.

is that true?

you had told me

"make sure u have ur hboot drivers updated(theyre in the post but just go along)"

is that hboot202-s_off-V71.zip?

How do i update them?

you had also said "ok. whatever u do, DONT try rooting using Unrevoked"

yet the tutprial you linked to says to

adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/

adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/

adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip

adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip

adb push root/flash_image /data/local/

adb push root/rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp

Is that an ok version of this unrevoked?

I miss my MTSlide lol. alas I am on a T-mobile employee plan (cause I am a T-mobile employee) and Am way past tired of being treated like someone who does NOT spend money on my line even though I pay 45 for 1 line. So I am switching To sprint tomorrow. I broke the screen on My mytouch Slide and they want me to pay a 130 dollar deductible on a phone with a 700 mhz processor ( only cause I OVER CLOCKED IT!)

sorry for so many questions. It just seems like I have found a lot of answers that contradict each other and I am not looking forward to a brick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
lol its all good. what people mean by dont use Unrevoked, its actually a .exe program dat will do it all for you, but since the current version they have is not update with the securities and stuff, it wont work and will infact crash your 4G.

backing up ur 4G, uhh im not so sure about that, my advise, root it first then make a nandroid backup lol.

the camera version isnt so big but it just has to do with watever rom u have and i like i mentioned before, Fresh should be a good one to use(in the rooting process u acually flash over a rom called"Stock_Rooted) but it wont f k it up. But, if u do endup messing up ur camera, its because of the rom doesnt work with ur phone so just flash one dat does work and you'll be good.

in the Like A Boss method, yes u do use unrevoked-forever, its just a zip. not a program so its usable, u get?

the "hboot202-s_off-V71.zip" file is actually ALL the files u will need in rooting.\

the actual hboot drivers are found here.(even come with instructions, and yes, its from unrevpked aswell but its not the bad file everyone is warning u to stay away. lol)

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

once ur rooted, u will have Amen_ras recovery, but if u dl Rom Manager on ur phone and click Flash CLockworks Recovery, you'll be fine. although i dont kno how to get back to Amen_ras after flashing ClockworksMod lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phelony:
Ok so unrevoked made some sort of 1click. that should be avoided at all costs... got ya.

Lol I hope Nandroid does. If i lose 4g I will be swearing angrilly in languages that do not even exist yet. If anyone has more info on this feel free to chime your happy asses in!

So your saying for sure that I will always be able to fix my camera?

your positive on this though right?

Yeah so these are the actual files not a 1 click root program got ya.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand now. these are drivers for windows not for the actual phone itself. I get it now.

Ok... I had read somewhere that whatever you do do NOT flash any other recovery. that if you flash clockwork mod it will **** something crucial up.

I have been reading for hours now and am very frustrated with the clusterfuck of contradicting info. I appreciate you taking your time in answering my questions.

I am very nervous But I guess I will see what happens. your 4g is still working i assume?

Someone needs to make a Evo Bible Sticky and keep it updated to quell the great misinformation.

Perhaps once I get it down me and you could make one. or you could :)

Having this would be a great help. I certainly Will try and do it once I have my bearings for this new phone.

or even a HOW TO NOT BRICK YOUR EVO OR LOSE 4G for Dummies :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
u got it. and yes. im sure about the camera issue too. flashing another recovery instead of the one it came with for rooting will fk it up. besides that, ur good.

and no i dont have 4G working. due to the fact im using CM6.1RC2 and he does not support 4G YET, but i love his work and feels grreat and everything on my phone is really easy to customize. im not so big on 4G anyway due to because i live in Sac Town, CA, and 4G isnt dat big here so its like on and off, so it just kills my battery qucker AND im always connected to my wifi. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
one other important thing i should add to u before u do it by accident.

when ur rooting it, you'll come up to the point when ur done and have booted into the rom. it says to update ur PRL/PROFILE. on the phone, to get system updates u have to go to Settings>System Updates>and theres like 4 options. Update PRL, Update Profile, Update HTC Software, Update Firmware. ONLY! update PRL and PROFILE. dont update HTC SOFTWARE or else you'll lose partial root. lol. keep dat in mind cuz once u boot ur phone, a pop up might appear saying 3.30.somehitng and its 6mbs. update Yes, or Cancel. CANCEL DAT TART! lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtoonjr:
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING! lol sorry its just dat it happened to me with 2 hones and i wanna keept u aware of these thigns.

on the Like a Boss method when rooting, wen u get to step 10...

>>>>>>10) You should still be in the boot loader at this point. Scroll down to recovery and press the power button. When you see the red triangle.<<<<<<

when u click on recovery, if it reboots and is stuck on the white HTC splash Screen for more than 15 seconds, just do a battery pull and get back to the bootloader and hit Recovery again. dont worry, everything u did wasnt a complete waste. and once u et to the red triangle with phone screen, resume with the guide.

youll see what im talking about when u get there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phelony:

Successfully rooted and running frost rom ( Very close to Vanilla android :) or aosp i guess its called) Running well. I was wondering if you know how to get hulu running?

and can you explain to me what kernels I can flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helioXverse:
With the new evos, only stock htc kernels work 100% atm, from my experience. I have tried a few others but they all stop the camera from working and some cause done graphic tearing. Until the new source comes out, I would stick with htc #10 or #17.

When I take a picture and then view it in the gallery, the picture appears (slightly) blurry until I zoom in a little, and then it looks good... I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS2, could this be an issue with this specific ROM or is it present in others as well? I'm going to upgrade to RLS4 soon, perhaps that will fix it. Ideas? Anyone else have the same problem?
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Deleted first post. Stock screen is a no go. We need a new LCD all together
[G Tablet General] Marine6680:
I was thinking about doing this, and if it is matte then that would make a difference. Just not sure if it is worth it, if the Adam comes out soon I may pick one up.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
If you flip the Gtablet upside down, you will notice the angles look much better. Not sure why they mounted in a manner that has weaker angles, but it seems the most cost efficient way for a better display is if the connector, ribbon and bezel mount accommodated a 180 degree rotation ;)

Adam is still in marketing concept stage for customer messaging. No word on their blog yet on distribution or mass production agreements by a contract manufacturer. Probably March release, if I were a betting person.
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Hrmm well I Still wanna try this but I Probably wont get to it Untill atleast 2 more weeks. Broke till next pay check -_- Black Friday Deals Drained me....If all turns out good Ill post results.

[G Tablet General] no-success:
This sounds great let me know how it works out! My gTab arrived with about 10 dead pixels (most of them are small and i cant see them without being picky) and I am eager to try something else.

I thought viewsonic would be more picky about what kind of screens they put in their stuff.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
These laptop screens might be the same, keep in mind. My netbook exhibits the same solarizing effect as my GTab - you just can't see it since you usually look at it head on.
[G Tablet General] no-success:
I know all my laptops have better viewing angles or at least richer blacks. So I do have some hope at improvement, since the panel in mine is so messed up.

Does anyone have any experience with these exact panels? any recommendations?
[G Tablet General] SiL3nTKiLL:
any reviews on this!
[G Tablet General] t3h_g3n3r4l:
the screen from the Dell Inspiron Duo (if it has the same single connector) seems to have a lot better specs. It's supposed to be 1366*768 with much better viewing angles than this piece.

In fact, I'm considering returning my GTab for one.
[G Tablet General] Marine6680:
3.5 hour battery life? Ew! Though the screen is nice; if it fits I wouldn't mind getting one and putting it in.
[G Tablet General] t3h_g3n3r4l:
Battery life isn't issue #1 for me. Usability is, and that's where the gtablet starts falling off for me. I feel that I can do a lot better for the money.

--

I think the issue with the Dell screen is going to be the connector. I get the feeling nobody else is using the tiny non-locking Molex connectors the gtablet uses.
[G Tablet General] Hellburger:
To those looking for reviews, just Google "Pixel Qi Review", I can't post links otherwise I would do so. There's several articles on Engadget, and a few videos on Gizmodo and Slashgear. The idea behind Pixel Qi is that in sunlight you can disable the backlight, and the sunlight is reflected off the back (inside) of the screen; this makes the sunlight act as a backlight, resulting in being more viewable outdoors. Also, the display can be switched between 'normal' LCD and 'e-paper' style as well. Really, the biggest reason I'm interested is the viewing angles. Netbook LCDs have horrible viewing angles (the G Tablet's screen is a Netbook LCD), so I would love to see this tablet with a better display.
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Pilxel qi seems to way way more expensive priced at almost 300$, Which is almost the price of another tablet. Also do they even make pixel qi screens that work on this tablet? I couldnt find it on the website :confused:
[G Tablet General] katmandu421:
Why wouldn't you return that?
[G Tablet General] no-success:
I just might, but i waited for a few weeks trying to pick one up. most of the pixel defects are small and right at the edge of the screen. there is one kind of annoying one right in the middle though :/
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Return it! Complain! get a New one! dont stand for somthing less than satisfactory!
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
has anyone tried swapping out the screen?

It is my only gripe about the tablet lol.

Honestly i dont care though because all other tablets are priced 100-200 more and have lower hardware specs.

I can live with the screen considering it really isnt too bad... just by comparison it isnt as good as the iPad.

I cant compare 7" tablets though... because ... frankly they are 7 inches... you squeeze more pixels into a smaller screen and it will look nicer... simple as that.

If you think about it... us early g-tab adopters can hack ours up and when we want a new one ... probably sell a hacked up gtab for a pretty penny when we are done with it.
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
I'm not sure why there are so many complaints. How often are you going to look at a tablet at sharp angles?? The only legitimate angle that someone mentioned was if the tablet was laying flat on a table in front of you and you were reading an eBook or something.

Maybe it's just the way I use it, but I don't have a problem with the screen at all.
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Landscape Mode is Fine but I Cant stand it when Im Trying to read a Book in Portrait mode. Kinda have to tilt it and it just looks stupid. This tablet is Best Landscape only. Thats why It Would be Nice to have a Better Screen With Better Angles. Theres 3 Versions of the LCD Screen I Mentioned on the first post. I Wonder if one of those would fit....hmmm....
[G Tablet General] The Old One:
On the LP101WH1-TLB1 would it be possible to use spacers around the screen and longer screws for it to work?

Edit: has anyone actually tried the B101EW01 V1 for higher res (I know it would need rom work) even if it does not improve the viewing angle?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
We really just need a good solution for the fitment issue with the LP101WH1-TLB1. I have a partially disassembled G Tab here (broken mini-USB port on the mainboard, oh well) and would be happy to experiment with this unit. I have a second G Tab on order right now for daily use, should be here in a day or two.

For those who've finished disassembly - do we just need longer screws and perhaps a rear cover with a bit more room? Or is a more extensive issue than that?
[G Tablet General] dougmod:
is the LP101WH1-TLB1 a great screen?
[G Tablet General] mkuzminov:

http :// www .auo.com/?sn=149&lang=en-US&c=34&n=146
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Yeah, that's the B101EW05, which is an IPS screen. It's in our spreadsheet, there are some issues with fit though - namely, part of that screen's active area (like half a centimeter on each side) will be obscured if you mount it in the G Tablet, even if you deal with the thickness issue.

If somebody figures out how to get either the B101EW05 or the LP101WH1-TLB1 screens to mount nicely into the G Tablet, we'd obviously be very appreciative of a little guide/writeup. :)
[G Tablet General] daml:
hi guys.. sorry i haven't been posting here lately i have just been really busy.

i will reply to all your pm's soon!

i also sold my g-tablet and purchased a flatcomputing a10w (another malata oem). :eek:.

this device was MEANT to come with a 1366 screen but the flatcomputing people are umm scammers? i don't know the correct word.

see, they have 2 models. a10t with 1gb ram 8gb hdd and a10w with 512 ram and 512 hdd and an 0.3 webcam.. now BOTH of these models are the same price. when queried about this

"what are the differences between the a10t and a10w all i see is that the a10w has less ram and hdd and is the same price" i got a reply of "thats about it, the a10w has a webcam"

now is a 0.3mp webcam really worth the price of an 8gb nand and 512 ram chip. i dont think so.

i purchased this lesser model because it showed on their website the a10w had a 1366 screen. since i ordered this has changed and when queried i was told it was a typo...

see i think they listed the screen to sell their lesser model @ the same price. i did notice originally in the specs the 1366x768 bit was of a larger font. then the next day it was the same font as the rest of the specs. then it was changed altogether. somethings going on there...

anyway back on topic. i now own 3 1366 panels. and a 1280.

i am determined to get to the bottom of this and find a suitable screen for the gtablet but still haven't got around to modifying the kernel. i am also wary of modifying the capacitive drivers. maybe someone can help me with this. i wouldn't have a clue where to start.

and sorry to let some of you down but i dont care about the viewing angles whatsoever i am more interested in the higher resolution screen!

i noticed a few others said they ordered screens. how did you go?
[G Tablet General] daml:
on the phone to china right now :) , i have found a manufacturer (who i have dealt with before) who will make us a screen, they need a sample of the gtablet screen and they will copy the dimensions @ a higher res.

problem is we need a minimum 200 pieces, paid for upfront..BUT there seems to be a lot of interest so maybe we can do this..

anyone interested spread the word. pm me with your answer and if we get enough i will setup a paypal or something similar to pay into and we can fund this.

but again pm me with your expression of interest and if we get enough people i can go ahead and put in an order. should be about 100AUD a piece give or take...

EDIT: open to investor ideas. although its not really that hard to pull this off BUT i am seriously considering ordering a batch of zpads. re branding, replacing screen, upping the ram and selling.. unfortunately price may go as high as an ipad BUT it will be a serious competitor. i also have a friend who can cnc/mould some aluminum enclosures. would anyone be interested in a product like this?
[G Tablet General] floatpoo:
What would be your time frame for getting this done? If you could get this done in 1-2 months, then I would be very interested -- even if I have to pay ipad'ish prices. However, in the upcoming months, the market will be flooded with new 10" tablets with awesome hardware (ex., ASUS eee Pad Transformer -- tegra2 platform, gingerbread, 10.1" IPS high res screen, hdmi out port, etc). So by the time you release "GTab: daml version", there might not be much of an interest anymore.
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Definitely interested if we can put this together in a 2 month period. PM me with more details.
[G Tablet General] tahngarth:
I would definitely be interested, but also a factor would be viewing angles, that is a bigger factor for me than res. Can you share who the manufacturer is and a similar lcd panel they would be using as a starting point?
[G Tablet General] spykat:
+1 interested need details on what where getting. (Screen wise)
[G Tablet General] Ricey:
interested in gtablet screen as well. As for the daml version of the tab it would depend on how soon you can get it out.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Can they make IPS screen?
[G Tablet General] toddmp:
depending on price I am in.

I think you will find it hard to get 200 preorders though. I don't imagine there are that many people on the g-tab section of xda.
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I'd be interested in a screen, but would need more details as well.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Not that I don't agree with you about finding 200 people to order. Way more than 200 people have downloaded the custom roms from here
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I believe that there are definitely more than 200 people in this forum as most people do not post anything though. There are over 5K download of Vegan ROM.

I do agree that it is hard to find 200 people prepay ~100 dollars to buy something we are not 100% sure it is better than the current screen (viewing angle, etc)
[G Tablet General] SirDroidAlot:
I'm in! New screen would be Great!
