[G Tablet General] DraglineDrummer:
I've been waiting to order one and was also trying to decide between it and the Archos 101. I broke down and ordered it today. I leaned more toward the G Tablet because of the hardware and ability to run custom ROMs. I can't wait to get it and wipe it and have a great tablet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarar:
i know it hasnt been released yet, but c'mon, the nexus s is everywhere. supposing it is real, how do you think it stacks up against this phone?

(i know there are other threads on this, but none of them directly answered or shed light on my question.)

I've been due for an update since julyy, and i dont want phone envy before one month.

so, how do they stackk upp?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Expyre31:
i agree with you rockstarar, i am having the same problem

i believe that its hard to actually determine if one will be better than the other since the specs of the Nexus S arent clear to the public yet, then again there is the rumored samsung flagship to come out in Feb. with specs similar to the nexus s
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
Build quality in Samsung devices hasn't been up to par with my expectations or requirements... :-(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
IF the Nexus S is even real...which is still a big IF...read around on the rumors.

If it's made by Samsung then you may have some nice internals (e.g. processor capabilities if unleashed and OC'd), but the price you'll pay will be build quality and possibly other features.

If it's anything close to the Vibrant in design and build quality, then, IMHO, it will be garbage. I had the Vibrant for a few weeks, rooted and OC'd it, and while it flew and the screen was nice, I traded it for the MT4G and have absolutely ZERO regrets. I know you're wanting to compare it to a, currently, non-existent, rumored phone, but if it's manufactured by Samsung then it'll have a tough time comparing to the MT4G.

HTC build quality is just way superior, especially on the MT4G, and the 2nd gen Snapdragon rocks. With this puppy rooted and OC'd it's hitting 3k+ Quadrant scores. Let's assume the Nexus S would possibly have Samsung's Hummingbird like the Vibrant...I could only get about 2300+ on Quadrant OC'd.

The MT4G has both build quality and performance backing it up. It would take a lot for me to consider swapping for anything else in the near future.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mftek1:
The nexus s looks like a good phone but its just a rumor as of right now. No specific specs/release date.

Not to mention its made by samsung.... Just for that reason alone I wont consider it...

I'm completely happy with my mt4g.

Me and others have an issue where when the keyboard is left open, and the screen and keyboard goes black, the keyboard backlight will flash on and off randomly.. I wonder if it does that while the keyboard is closed as well and noone is noticing it? Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I'm not thinking it does cuz I've tesed that by sliding it just enough so it doesn't switch orientation and then letting it lock and it didn't flash at all but withit opened locked itflashes randomly not even at set times just when it feels like it
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Does this happen on a stock setup? If not, which ROM are you using?

This should be in General also.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Id if it does it on stock but th first times I started noticeing it was when I stared using the froyo roms and I'm running the stock dk17 by konane and the dk17 modem
[Epic 4G General] madgadjt:
I am using the most up to date quantum rom package, I put it in dev because several in irc also have the issue and thought maybe it could be a battery issue if left unfixed, I will watch it in the dark in a little bit and see if its always happening and will report back

I just tried testing this and had no back light issues(watched it for about 10 min.). I am stock with root, running launcher pro.
[Epic 4G General] madgadjt:
Not seeing any light while it is closed, it does it at regular intervals when open, almost like its polling. Using screen timeout of 1 minute and keyboard timeoutof 15 seconds

I have this issue as well.

If close the phone, the keyboard will NOT blink. i can peep between the phone and do not see any extra lighting.

my screen is set to 15sec timeout and i do not see the option to do keyboard timeout, i did on the 2.1.
[Epic 4G General] big3etr:
I too had this issue when I switched to the first leaked 2.2 ROM. I had it on every ROM I have flashed EXCEPT: VIPERrom IMPact 2.3. I just read this thread, and thought damn I had this issue, then went to check the ROM I just flashed early this morning and it seems to be gone... I had it on the VIPERrom 2.2, but not the 2.3 based on DK17 modem and kernel.
[Epic 4G General] apache2:
Have we found any solutions for this?

I've been having these problems with DK17 (stock, and any ROM);

Now I've upgraded to DK28 Froyo and I thought this problem would go away, but low and behold my keyboard backlight still turns on and off randomly when I leave the keyboard slid out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] distortion:
I remember seeing some performance tweaks somewhere to speed up/improve responsiveness of the DJ Steves 2.2 builds. I have looked but cannot find what thread I saw them in. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

Also, what app is everyone using to benchmark with?

Thanks :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] p_razzi:
I think the two words you're looking for are "Fards" and "Quadrant". I think our chef has already cooked on the tweaks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
So I tried PErm rooting today without much success! I unfortunately uninstalled Visionary r10, after that, I was not able to push the apps using adb but several permission denied messages. Anyone know what I should you?

Then I triend installing Visoanry r14 downloaded from MoDaCo.com, I keep getting an error message:

"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package."

I downloaded twice to the device, then once through the computer and copied to the sdcard. I got the same the same message. I am using ASTRO file manager's app manager...so I then tried a second app manager called "app manager", but that didn't work either.....

Any thoughts???

Am I destined to be unrooted?????? ARgGG

[EVO 4G General] sgallos1:
Hey guys I'm hearing a lot about the new HTC evo slide 4g phone that's gonna come out in January. All the specs are in but supposedly there is no front facing camera which sucks. I wanted to know if you have an android phone that's doesn't have a front facing camera could you install one yourself?
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I guess back to taking pictures in the bathroom mirror.
[EVO 4G General] TheNexxuvas:
It's a safe bet that if there is truly no front facing camera on this model then no, you could not install one.

Several reasons, coming from someone who has seen the inside of all HTC phones on Sprint.

No already ready circuit board connection for it to be added. It's not exactly even easy to resolder charging ports on these boards but soldering in a connection and then harvesting even say an EVO 1.3 mp camera would not be easy/wise specially since the board would have to already have circuitry and chips already onboard to support it in order to solder a connection for the ribbon to slide into. Even my mad scientist self of a repair tech wouldn't alter my circuit board in this fashion.

No drivers to load the camera(although someone smarter than myself could say that something could be built into a rom or kernel for this) but assuming you printed or had access to print the camera circuitry and solder points onto the board to solder the ribbon connector for the Evo front camera just like a circuit board manufacturer does when designing a board there's no gaurantee that it will 100% work properly not to even mention if the original board design does not have room or a large enough area to put all the supporting circuitry.

3rdly, the front bezel/faceplate would need modifications to let the camera view outside the housing. It would more than likely damage the digitizer creating a hole to support the camera infrastructure.

There are many variables here that really don't make sense in trying to add this modification yourself.

Best to wait for the full specs to see if they will be supporting one from the get go. Our 4g phones kind of demand this sort of thing anyway so I'm sure that whatever early schematics we see that HTC designs Sprint Execs who work with the vendors to create a product can easily ask that it be added to the manufacturing process beforehand so its highly probable it will already come with one.

It seems to be on designers minds these days going forward as something the 4G phones easily can support since the network can easily support the function of video conferencing.

:D

Sorry if I got long winded or too technical, I tend to get that way with my customers too.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's possible

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/01/do-...cing-camera-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s-vibrant/
[EVO 4G General] TheNexxuvas:
Only because the Galaxy S boards are pretty much the same in each version for each different carrier minus the addition of the slider on the Epic.

There's no telling whether or not the EVO shift is going to have the same circuit board as the EVO 4G.

And if it does, Sprint and HTC would more than likely make the decision to go ahead and put that camera in there.

So, it's only possible if they decided to use the same board, and not go with ffc and leave the connector on the board open.

Thanks to JT1134 I was able to get the recovery compiled and gave that to Noobnl so he place that into his Hijack super script. SO, dont forget to thank JT1134 for that! Also thank codeworkx for his repo since that was used!

Sweet, grabbing now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
It works, but its pretty rough. The screen flickers, and sometimes the navigation is kinda iffy. But backup/restore works :) and you can flash .zips.. and that's whats important. This should get polished in the next week or so :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
How did you guys get it to work? Whenever I run that run.bat, it gives me a massive list of "ping is not a recongized command" and "Tab is not a recognized command" and finally ends up doing nothing :(

I moved the extracted directory to the root of my drive, and it actually made a bit of a difference, as the batch file went a bit further. But still, it ended up doing nothing...

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Deodexed:
This is something that Noobnl has put together with using his other script. As far as getting recovery fully functional and not having the screen flicker and others issues, I will continue working on that.

Thanks to JT1134 I was able to get the recovery compiled and gave that to Noobnl so he place that into his Hijack super script. SO, dont forget to thank JT1134 for that! Also thank codeworkx for his repo since that was used!

Anyway the continue development of this will be discussed on the #ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet channel!

I have not loaded this myself. I do not have windows machine. Go to the Irc channel to get some more help or ask Noobnl or other thread. He said to run the run.bat I think it needs to be where you have sdk or adb?

works as advertised. hopefully we get a fix on that flickering issue. thanks!

Ok I am confused, how do I install this please?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
If you can't glean the process from the fairly straightforward instructions you quoted, then you might want to do some more reading. Just do as the message says.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kevinniven:
Wow dude!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] konawayne:
the .bat file has to be in the same directory as adb/SDK.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sanderh:
Noob question: what can we do with this? Is this the same as rooting you phone?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Ok first off if you have no useful comments on how to install then DO NOT reply good lord i HATEEEEE those who obviously know what to do and refuse for whatever reason to illuminate the process but would rather tell me that to read LOL the instructions state to:

1. debugging enabled (ok i get this)

2.run.bat (what the f*ck does this mean????) should I connect via ADB and run .bat???? how do I do that,,,,,c'mon now)

Again if you can not aid me in explaining this process then just dont bother replying!

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
If you don't know how to run a batch file in Windows, then you might want to consider switching to a Mac :P

Noobnl has packaged this into a one-click method... you just extract the folder into your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder and double click run.bat while your phone is connected to USB with USB debugging enabled.

If you still can't figure it out, then you should just give up pal

Can some post a clean nandroid backup?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ftgg99:
Thank you for your efforts!

I am a noob in flashing or compiling custom roms though (locked bootloader on my only other android device, the Motorola Milestone).

I have read that this allows us to inject a nandroid backup into the rom, but would like to know more. What are the benefits of this recovery? What can it be used for? Can i for example flash a stock android build onto my Tab?

Thanks in advance for some helpful, non flamer answers...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] murphycr:
Basically this allows you to flash any ROM you want, in addition to allowing you to backup and restore nandroid backups

Please specify what Tabs this works with, no one wants a bricked Tab for the holidays
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] morganlowe:
Works with my sprint tab.

Here's how I did it in windows 7.

First you must have ADB, get the windows one here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Extract the zip, put it on c:\

Download the recovery from the first post, extract, rename something just one word and put in the TOOLS directory of ADB. c:\Android\tools\download is the path I got once I renamed everything to make it easy.

Drivers... I dont know where I got these, I did not make them. Here they are though: http://www.morninglion.com/gt_driver.rar

Enable USB Debugging on the tab. Menu-Applications-Development- USB Debugging check box

Plug your tab into your PC, Dont use a hub... caused issues for me.

If it doesnt find a driver, right click on [computer] hit [manage] then [device manager] right click on the offending thing and direct it to where you extracted the driver download.

once you got no more lost devices... unplug and replug the tab

pull up start menu and search for 'cmd' without '

once found, press [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[ENTER] to open it as administrator

type cd c:\path\to\download\of\recovery and press enter

type 'run' press enter

follow directions.

Enjoy rooted and recovery enabled tab.

I unrooted before I did this, and uninstalled Z4 root.

Hope this helps someone.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
I thought this script was pretty cool when noobnl told me about it...

I'm including a Galaxy Tab modified bash script for Mac and Linux... just place the run.sh script inside the folder extracted from the originally posted zip file.

Edit: File is now included in new zip placed in the original post.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEL MAC & LINUX:

Note: Mac and Linux users may be prompted to enter administrative password, as adb server requires sudo permissions to start.

No drivers required.

Extract the zip file.

Put the run.sh inside the directory you just extracted.

Open Terminal. Use the cd command to get to the directory. If you extracted inside the Downloads folder, it would be easy in Terminal as so:

cd ~/Downloads/epic.aio.v2.01

Now give permissions and run it:

chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh

THANKS TO FIRON FOR CODE MAKING THE SAME SCRIPT BOTH INTEL MAC AND LINUX COMPATIBLE.

Is it possible to remove this ClockworkMod? So far I have been having a few troubles since I installed it. I even tried to wipe all data and factory reset, but nothing even happened. It booted up like I didn't even do anything.

Also I have a file called tsprsp in my /data/local file that is 1.15GB. I don't know where it came from or what it is, but my system memory is low now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] een625:
Got the same problem, I went in using adb and deleted tsprsp and it's fine again.

I guess we just have to wait until someone writes a undo custom recovery script, or a less buggy one
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
I haven't been able to find out any information about this tsprsp file... I'm sure you searched on it too.

Seems odd that wiping data didn't work... It should have formatted the entire data partition.

You could try booting into clockworkmod, go into Mounts and Storage, and choose format DATA... I'd be surprised if it didn't work for you.

As for an uninstaller, I can script one in the future, but I want to make sure you'd be able to boot into the stock Samsung recovery.

Figured I'd at least try to help you somehow.

Keep us posted.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
One question for you that have the tsprsp problem:

Do you have micro sd cards installed? Have you perfomed any nandroid backups, and if so, to internal or external sdcard? I ask because ClockworkMod normally stores its nandroid backups on the sd card.
