Kind of like in the movie The Jerk, when people's eyes go cross-eyed ;)
[G Tablet General] Cyhawk:
The screen is upside down. Im unsure exactly why they designed it this way, but it is. I'm sure theres a good reason, just wish I knew what it was. If you find your eyes becoming fatigued, you can do a few things.

* Flip the Device upside down. Viewing angles are better, at least for washed out colors and tilted viewing.

* Move the device further back from your face. May not be possible, but that "two feet" rule exists for a reason. (or four feet depending on how rabid your companies ergonomic's "expert" is... I swear its a scam)

* Keep the device directly in front of your face, the center of the screen should be exactly where your nose is.

* Use it less? Hmm.. Thats why its last :P

Truth be told, this is a problem with all LCDs, from your desktop to phones, TVs, etc. Its just more appreant with a tablet as it sits close to your face. It sucks, but until OLED or eink become usable (in the way we want it to.. ie LCD quaility. Theyre both excellent for long time viewing, but lack speed, or the price is too high) we'll have to live with it.

I don't need you! I don't need anyone! all I need is this gtab! that's it, nothing else! and well this lamp, but that's it! that's all I need is this gtab and this lamp... lol
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
It's also more apparent with tablets because we hold them at all sorts of angles while with nb & LCD monitors for desktops we pretty much set them to our tastes...

Anyways, I find that I can read text fine(portrait) in FBReader but many other apps I do note the portrait mode oddities, esp. the ones that force portrait mode. I've also used spare parts to turn off compat mode, which I've done on every tablet that I've used so far w/no problems.
[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
Can the brightness on the G Tab be hacked/changed to be even less bright? Even at the lowest setting reading ebooks at night, I find it to be too bright.
[G Tablet General] chaosportal:
I wanted to love the G-Tablet but the display issues finally became a deal killer for me. I have been struggling with the viewing angle problems and last night when I tried to read some comics I got that 3d effect mentioned by the OP.

I don't know if it's a bad batch of displays or if that's just the way they are made but I'm taking mine back to Sears for a refund. One would think that a company that specializes in video displays would have gotten this right.

My wife has an Ipad and it doesn't have ANY viewing angle problems, I guess it uses a different technology.

I can't read this thing with the "Day" mode (black on white background). I use Aldiko in Night Mode and then just turn down the brightness to my liking.

Some have mentioned that the 50 Mhz setting might be increasing the eye fatigue, which might have some validity.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I'm sure a lot of you have come across this problem before. I am trying to root my samsung epic 4G, but I need samsung drivers. I downloaded the 32 bit and it would not recognize my phone. I tried the 64 and nothing. I also tried a bunch of reinstalling and updating the drive but it still would not recognize it.

I have USB debugging on; I tried mounting it. I tried just having it on the charging option, but no matter what it would not recognize it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Make sure you know if your pc is 32 or 64 bit. Install drivers; reboot without phone in. When pc is completely loaded then plug in your phone.

If you're using a desktop; use the back USB ports and not the front ones.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
I solved this by hooking up a small external usb hub

Plug and play. The drivers loaded :-)
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
i having this same issue, besides having a external usb source is there any other way?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
2 things you can try...

1) go into device manager and manually load the drivers once connected (they are in the 16_shrewberry folder)

or

2) load up kies
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
Thanks for your reply.

What is Kies? Can u give me alittle more info

EDIT: I tried manually updating the drivers in device manager by clicking on the " Unknown Device " and browsing to 16_shrewberry folder and making sure "include all subfolders" is checked and windows still says "The driver software for your device is up to date"

EDIT 2: I googled and downloaded Kies and still a No Go... Anybody have any other suggestions ?

I hate 64 bit Os's
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Are you using a laptop or a desktop?
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
Laptop and i've tried all usb ports
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Try a different micro USB cable. Mine would show as unknown 90% of the time, I had to keep plugging it back in. The stock cable sucks ass, have any spares around? I used my kindle cable and that works.
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
I tried another cable from my girlfriends epic and same thing :(

So that 2 different cables, i've uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted phone and pc 3 x's, tried to manually install it in devince managers and downloaded Kies (Which takes a LONG TIME to update)

And i still cant get it 2 work, Now its the principle of the thing
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
yeah laptops and front usb ports tend to have most problems since they are low power ports..

tr restarting you laptop and/or phone
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Changing **** for **** doesnt always work lol. Trust me, my wife and I both have the epic and neither of ours would recognize /w w7 64 bit until we used a different cable. Not promising this is 100% the problem, but I have a strong feeling that it is. The samsung USB cable is good for one thing... charging.

Been using this card in my phone for no problem since day one, now all of a sudden whenever I try and copy an mp3 from my PC in mass storage mode I get the "Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect" and cant copy the file. Did some searching and people said formatting the card fixes that problem so I did so but that didnt fix the problem for me. Whats really weird is the fact that it only happens when trying to write mp3 files. I can move pictures and other files over with no problem. Any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I am having the same problem. I just flashed TW v5 and also the jk6 modem. I can copy to internal sd but the external I cannot copy any thing to. I get the same error message as you are getting. I have tried the two fixes that had been posted but neither one changed the situation. This has been an issue for me since i first flashed a Bionix rom. At first before this last rom the drives were reversed or seen as reversed which caused problems with recovery. I have no idea what is causing this or what the remedy is. Any and all help is warmly received and greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
My computer doesn't even see my phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I tried the mounting fix and it did show the drives in the proper sequence but I still get the parameter error and am unable to write or copy to external sd card. Does not make any difference whether it is mp3 or zip files nothing will copy over. I am in Obsidian V5 and I really like the rom and I tried jk6 stock but had the same result. Any and all help and info is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Edit: I do have one question if I format the external sd will that wipe everything off of it? ( I would imagine it would) Perhaps that is why I still cannot copy to external sd. I have never reformatted an sd card and I would really really be grateful if someone could give me guidance or directions on how to proceed with this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qroche85:
flashing to the leaked stock jk6 fixes this for me. One guy suggested change usb setting to mediainstead of mass storage in order for it to work. Gl.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Remove the card from your phone and put it into a USB card reader on your PC/Mac. From there you should be able to copy all the data off of it. After backing up everything on the card either format the card in your phone or from your computer. See if that helps. I've run this fix on 3 different ROMs and it worked every time.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Was just thinking about Vz ad's for 4G and how screwed I was for buying an Epic. Then I turned my 4G radio on. I am getting a wide open 4G signal sitting here in Belmont Shores where I got nothing a few days ago!

Edit: Just connected via Easy Tether to my desktop and it also seems to be holding the 4G signal, which I thought it wasn't supposed to do. In fact previous attempts at 4G tethering just brought back up the 3G signal. Anyone know what's up? BTW, I am currently running stock DI18 though I have flashed a lot of different ROMS over the last few weeks.
[Epic 4G General] imtjnotu:

[Epic 4G General] bnguyen1983:
Just to let you know, 4G has been operational in Long Beach for months, as well as certain areas in OC and LA. I commute from OC to LA so I noticed 4G on for a while now. I can also tether using wireless tether on 4G with no problem.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Thanks for the info on tethering!

For the last couple of months I had to go to the northerly side of Signal Hill to pickup a decent 4G signal. Here in Belmont Shores a 4G connect was pretty much non-existent until yesterday. Now I can sit inside my house and get a 4G connect! :D
[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
I just tried turning 4g on here in New Orleans, which is supposed to be one of the Verizon cities and got nothing, which makes sense because Verizon uses LTE not WiMax. Don't know if I meant to imply you thought you were on Verizon's 4g, but you're most likely not.

i actully have about 1-2 bars of 4G near Fullerton, CA ~ i haven't tried the wire tethering yet because i'm afraid that sprint will charge me for doing so (is that true?)
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I'm pretty sure they only charge if you're using their hot spot app. But if you use the wireless tethering app that's on the forums (and comes in most of the roms), I don't know how sprint would know the difference between tethering and just using your data from your phone.

[myTouch 4G General] whealy:
It doesn’t fail to connect to my VW’s Bluetooth system.

It doesn’t sporadically connect to my Mitsubishi’s Bluetooth system … sometimes in the middle of a call.

It doesn’t force me to reset my Bluetooth when I switch to the charged headphones while the previously used unit charges.

It doesn’t lock up while syncing data causing the battery to discharge at an alarming rate.

It doesn’t discharge the batter at a fast rate just for normal use.

It’s doesn’t force me to turn off extra functions (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) to get reasonable battery life.

It doesn’t lock up occasionally and force me to rest it.

It doesn’t all of the sudden turn into a hand warmer and again force me to reset it.

And to me that’s the point. Sprint screwed the pooch when it upgraded the Evo to 2.2 and failed to allow uses to downgrade their OS back to the originally installed version. Probably a cost saving measure, but one that cost them at least this customer.

So to anyone on the fence about getting a MT4G, I think the beauty of this phone is that it just works. Works in ways you expect smart phones to work, but just about all current phones don’t seem to accomplish. Who doesn’t want a cell phone that does that!

[Droid X General] riahon1959:
Has anyone else had any problems with ROM Manager? I can't create a backup from ROM Manager. It boots from the M to a triangle, then reboots the current ROM. If I use Bootstrap to boot into Clockwork Recovery, I can create a nandroid backup. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, reflashing the ROM(formated system, wiped data & cache) and reinstalled Busybox. Any suggestions??
[Droid X General] 1KDS:
continue using bootstrap, there are many people with this problem
[Droid X General] NeutronBomb:
I was able to use Rom Manager just as you would on any non locked bootloader phone on my original droid X. Now on my replacement one I'm unable to load roms or make backups directly from rom manager, I have to use bootstrap and do it manually. Not a huge deal but it's kind of annoying. I also had problems with other roms though like Rubix focused (the newest) the dialer app would just dissapear and I couldn't connect to a cell tower... really weird. With ApeX I would get random reboots every couple minutes. With FlyX I would get the syncing icon come up and just stay permanently. These were all installed after completely wiping several times and doing fresh installs. Finally ended up trying Tranquility 2.5 I think? Anyway that one worked. I figured my phone was just messed up in some way and that's why I couldn't do things directly from Rom Manager. This phone also occasionally boots up all the way but the display never makes it past the M logo. I can unlock and power off the phone just off memory of where the stuff is at but the screen never initializes. Other than that, runs great! lol

Cyph
[HD7 General] george241312:
yeah mine does this as well but not a bid deal...
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
The laws of physics sadly require a slower shutter speed in low light. In order to correctly expose a photograph, and given the sensor has a certain reaction speed to incoming light, it follows that the less light there is, the longer the sensor must be exposed to that light. Your phone will therefore increase the exposure time in dark conditions. As the frame rate is the number of exposures per second, longer exposure time will result in a lower frame rate.

All cameras do this. It's not that big of a deal.

For the purposes of ROM development what are all the known and rumored gtablet twins and cousins?

Specs, similarities, and differences. [Photos are from their respective official websites.]

Twins:

Malata ZPad - Tegra 2, 10 inch capacitive mult-touch, 1Gb DDR2 RAM, 16GB or 32GB internal storage, Bluetooth, WiFi. Froyo.

Woow Digital "The One" - Tegra 2, 10 inch capacitive mult-touch, 1Gb DDR2 RAM, 16GB internal storage, Bluetooth, WiFi and WCDMA 3G. Gingerbread.

Advent Vega - Tegra 2, 10 inch capacitive mult-touch, 512MB DDR2 RAM, Froyo.

Does anyone have any recommendations for tools/apps/etc. after perma-root and true s-off? I've not found a dedicated list for this kinda stuff - rather, several seperate threads (makes it difficult to sort through what's current and really needed or recommended).

Note: It does not matter whether they are paid or not. Quality over price in my opinion. :3

So far, I know of:

- Rom Manager/Clockwork Recovery

- MyBackup Pro vs Titanium Backup Pro (No idea which is better/more reliable)

- SetCPU

- Android Terminal Emulator

- Root Explorer (any reason to keep other file explorers like ES or ASTRO?)

- Cyanogen, Virtuous, Modaco, etc. (and probably many more in the future)

I'm sure there are more I'm not aware of. Perhaps dedicated tools to remove system or normal apps cleanly? Or tools to customize the UI, launchers, and such? Security software maybe (locating phone, remote wipe, etc.)? Battery 'savers'?

Lots of possibilities I'm sure. Might be useful to consolidate a list for all us new to the HTC DZ Android 'hack' scene. =^_^=
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
If you don't like the Sense.com security stuff, and want to pay extra moneys, then WaveSecure would be a safe bet.

Works through text messages and a pin number.

So - WS 1234 lock - would lock the phone. If I remember correctly.

LauncherPro / ADW are good launchers if Sense isn't loved.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CWolfCW:
Heh, it's not that I don't like Sense, but rather that if I or others switch to Cyanogen or some other custom ROM, we may not have the capabilities of Sense (htcsense.com, SenseUI, etc.).
