I'm having a small problem with market. I can access everything, I can click on the apps, I can click download but then it hangs on the download part...I click on downloads and it shows starting download but it never does...

any suggestions, ideas, etc?

I have tried the market fix, clear cache, force stop, Tit b/u wipe data, reboot, and I can always access market just keeps hanging on downloading...

Thanks,

Coty

Whoever says task killers are not good are waaaaaay too general. If anything, 2.2 needs one more. IF you kill system tasks too, then YES, task killers could be more harm than good. The key is to exclude all system tasks and they are usually ID'd by little white and green Android icons.

An extreme example is people with the Archos Gens 8s, since have no practical choice but use a task killer, given the low ram they have. And NO, comparing iPad 256mb ram and Android are NOT the same- at all.

Bluetooth

Has anyone tried connecting to a droid phone via bluetooth? Any success?

Thanks

Found a possible bug:

My volume is stuck on mute! With VEGAn, when I use the volume keys it only controls the media volume, no matter what app I'm in. So I turned the media volume down and went into sound settings and turned all the other volumes down. This morning, the volume button won't turn the volume back up. It shows the on screen volume display, but it stays at mute. If I go into sound settings it will let me turn up all of the volumes except media. When I click ok and go back into sound settings the media volume is back at mute, so it doesn't save the setting for that specific volume meter.

***UPDATE***

Reboot seems to have fixed it.

from my testing with overclock widget, i'd say it doesn't work. i just did some more testing with it last night and i would say its completely useless, at least for me.

i set the frequency for when the screen is on to both min and max of 1000000, and i set the frequency for when the screen is off to the one thats about 250000, min and max. at first it was really snappy, evrything was smooth and a little faster than before from what i can tell. was getting a higher linpack score too (just a little, in the 37s)because of the min speed set to 1000000 i'm guessing. but after having the tab idle and the screen off for about 15 min, it was extremely laggy when i turned it back on. even resetting the frequencies did nothing. this was def worse than before when i wasn't using the widget. as a matter of fact, i didn't even have any slowdowns really when i wasn't using it. i just wanted to see if i can overclock it.

also i think the tab, by default, is already set to 1000000 max and 384000 (or something close to that) min. i saw this when i started up overlock widget for the first time and the speeds were set to those numbers. not sure if this is true or not but thats what my non-techie brain is comprehending.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
i've had this happen many times. it usually comes about when trying to play a video file when you already have the system volume on mute. it will just get stuck and all sounds are gone. until a reboot. try rebooting and see what happens.
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
On the 'login' screen, tap the top 'ribbon' that is above the unlock 'ribbon' and see if that unmutes the sound.

I am going to try to do wipe which I did not do going from beta2 to beta3 since everything appears to be working ok except Morning Wakup Bug.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I had similar problem what you have been describing. It ran good when I first tweaked with it last night, but tablet sat idle for a bit, and everything was sluggish.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
You do complete wipe between each beta?
[G Tablet Android Development] techtech:
i did..but still happening

Went from tnt 2.2 to this vegan beta 3, really nice! Came home for lunch today and was browsing the web on the tablet and all of the sudden the screen went black and the device is unresponsive, any tips?

Edit...boooted up a few minutes later
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
When you say it went "black" do you mean it powered off? Mine went haywire yesterday (after running smoothly all day). The screen was almost entirely unresponsive and I couldn't even get the "lock" to move. The soft buttons worked, however. I ended up wiping everything + repartioning. That got me back up and running--unknown if future problems await.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
From what I've seen rothnic, it still happens with Vegan Tab, however it seems to happen less often. It happened practically every time ZPad woke up from sleep, but only occasionally on Vegan Tab. It's happened to me a total of three times or so with Vegan Tab so far.

I wiped data several times since I was on ZPad, so it shouldn't be anything left over.

I can say that I just woke up my G Tablet after about 28 hours of idle, and it is perfectly fine, no slowdown or lag, but I am using Overclock Widget to set min CPU speed.

I believe that overclock widget can change the min CPU speed even though it can't overclock, but I could be mistaken on that. All I can say is that the slowdowns haven't happened to me again on beta3 since I installed Overclock Widget two days ago. You can make of that what you will.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
My overclock widget settings are Min: 528000 Max: 1000000 and I have the Differ Freq Screen Off set to False. I think the key is keeping the Max number at 1000000 and not allowing that to be set lower when the screen is off.

Since setting up Overclock Widget that way, I have not had a single slowdown again, while before I had several of them.

I think the problem is that sometimes, once the CPU max gets throttled down like that, it won't come back to normal. Whether it's throttled down by the default settings or by the settings that Overclock Widget has.

Try setting Overclock Widget without the screen off, throttled down CPU and see if that works better for you - I suspect it will.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
thanks. I will try this settings. I had different setting for screen off to real minimum like 128000 to conserve the resources.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
The app wouldn't even give me the option to select 1000000 as a frequency. I had to manually add it in the "defined" settings. Will play around with it today and see if it fixes the issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I've been playing around with this, as well. So far, sleep seems unaffected with it (in a good way). i'm using 768(?) min and 1000 max, both manually defined.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Yeah, as I recall, I had to do that too.

Ok got the market working, but I keep getting this error: "A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."

Anyone else having issues? This kills this rom for me. Network worked fine on CM6.1 so must be something in this rom. Wiped cache many times already. I have issues with gmail, web with the network, it is spotty sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.

Edit: fixed with rebooting my network
[G Tablet Android Development] eagle17:
yes I am having a simular issue ... as soon as I start to get low on my wifi... even though other devices are just fine... it gives the network issues error. I will try to play around with it some more to see if i can force the issue.

this is on beta 3. I don't recall these on beta 1 or zpad

Message from the Egghead

I haven't been able to read all the latest comments. From what I have seen it seems that (other than some minor issues that either fix themselves after a reboot (I'll look into the audio muting thing I saw a few posts back) or have been fixed by doing a data wipe because something in a previous install was hanging things up) BETA 3 is pretty stable. I have been working on some of the major issues to be patched in BETA 4. I have fixed autoBrightness which has been a major stopping point for some people when considering this ROM.

I have submitted all of our information to Koush so that we can get our ROM into ROM Manager! Just waiting to hear back from him. Exciting stuff there! :D

If you would like to see how BETA 4 is coming along feel free to stop by: http://vegantab.gojimi.com I am trying to update that site as I fix items in VEGAn and as Other news arises.

Once again the 3 of us are ever thankful for your support!

Now time to put my nose back in the code! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I haven't seen this myself, but my Wifi has always been fairly stable. I've only seen the error if my Wifi is totally off.

zPad WiFi drivers, as I recall, are different than TnT Lite (which is the basis for the VEGAn build). Beta 1 / Beta 3 are definitely the same drivers.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
yes beta 4 with autobrightness! can't wait!
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
only time i have seen that message is if i have no wifi connection at all, so i'm not sure what's happening there.
[G Tablet Android Development] P_6:
Gojimi...

Maybe you can answer... I haven't been able to get anyone else to just yet... does the kernel/driver set available in VEGAn offer any bluetooth profiles, or is it able to take advantage of BT file transfer, Dial Up Network or Personal Area Network profiles?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The kernel in the VEGAn is the same as TnT (Lite). Whatever the TnT devs added is what we have, right now.

I haven't gotten any BT stuff working, but that's mainly due to my lack of BT devices. And no file transfer with my hackintosh which, as you mentioned, might be something kernel or module based.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:

[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I have two wireless routers - one is the FIOS default one, and the other is my own purchase. Definitely helps with troubleshooting since the device seems a bit finicky with some routers.

One suggestion, off the bat: Try changing the WiFi channel and / or turning off WEP/WPA, just as a test.
[G Tablet Android Development] Falco01:
Funny that you guys are discussing wifi. I been doing some reading on it and cannot put my finger on the issue. My network has always been pretty stable running 3 laptops, occasional iPod touches, wii, EVO and PS3. Since getting the g tab, all of that has changed.

When I initially powered it up out of the box, all was good. Loaded vegan kburke and went on my way. That night I powered it down and let it charge over night. Next day when I powered it up, it would not connect via wifi and I noticed nothing in the house was connected. I restarted the router and all was fine until the following day when I had to repeat the process. This happened the next couple days.

The one day I decided not to connect the tab via wifi, I powered down before bed as normal to charge and the following day, all was fine and I had no router issues, everything was connected and running. I am miffed, because today I was back to restarting my router because my g tab was connected yesterday........ hmmmmmmm
[G Tablet Android Development] Mikeg1969:
Amazing work with the VEGAn project. I (as others have said before me) cannot thank you enough. I bought two g tablets (one for the wife after she saw mine in action) only because of everyone's tireless work here. I am having no problems with the audio or wifi but my problem is a bit different from the others:

Pocket Legends plays perfectly in full screen.

Asphalt 5 plays 3/4 screen with the touch controls for steering (no accelerometer).

Modern Combat - Sandstorm plays full screen but has a weird black bar about a third of the way down that runs halfway across the screen.

ToonWarz plays perfectly with no accelerometer controls.

Other gameloft games do no work for me at all, but my two biggest problems are in these two games, Madden NFL (Demo) and Homerun Baseball 3D.

In Madden, there is no definition in the graphics. What I mean is that the outline of the stadium and players is there but you cannot see the fans in the stands and the players are just white outlines. The game itself plays but just with no graphics.

Homerun Baseball 3D (by Com2us) gives me the following error when staring:

"Information about your device cannot be retrieved due toan unstable platform status. Please restart the application. (According to your device, you may need to restart the application multiple.)

If I wait the screen fades into the User Agreement screen just fine but when I tap on the accept button it closes the game. I have restarted the game 20 times in a row, rebooted and retried and even uninstalled and reinstalled with no changes.

Sorry or the long post and I know you guys are working on this out of the goodness of your hearts to help others enjoy the product. I just wanted to share with you some other issues in the hopes that when you get some spare time you could look into it. Again, thanks for all your hard work and making this a VERY usable product for me.:D

Gingerbread theme

First of all I would like to thank Rothnic, Gojimi and Roebeet and everyone involved for all of your outstanding work. Kudos to you all! You guys have really given new hope to the Gtab community! You guys are the reason why I'm a happy and proud G-tab owner!

Quick and simple question, I downloaded the gingerbread theme. How do i install it? Do I need to install it via clockwork? I tried installing the .apk but it gave me an error. Also, does the Gingerbread theme include the Gingerbread keyboard?

Many thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
I am hesitant to post about the problems I'm encountering with this ROM since there is so much to like about it, but the devs can probably use the feedback.

I had a problem yesterday where the screen became completely unresponsive except for the soft buttons. I ended up having to do a FULL wipe and re-install. I partitioned as well just to be on the safe side. The re-install fixed the problem and the tablet was back to its snappy self.

I just got home from work and fired up the tablet tonight and once again the screen was unresponsive (but again the soft buttons worked). I even waited a couple of minutes thinking it might still be loading stuff, but it still wouldn't work. I rebooted and wiped the cache and that fixed the problem (that technique didn't work last night).

I love the look & feel of VEGAn and am anxious for a new release. I didn't have any of these issues with TnTLite and I hate to switch back, but I definitely need to load a stable rom as I'm giving this tablet to my 70 year old father at Christmas and he'll freak out if it locks up on him :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] case-sensitive:
Have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863741
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
Yes, I actually created that file BEFORE I had my first problem yesterday. It concerned me that perhaps doing that messed up my device.

I never had any of these problems on TnTLite, so I'm inclined to believe that there is something in this rom that is the culprit. Of course I could be wrong, but since others are reporting gradual sluggishness issues with this ROM, it seems reasonable to suspect that there's a bug that needs to be identified. Of course this is a beta release, so problems are to be expected...no complaints from me...I'm very indebted to the devs here for making the G-Tablet something worthwhile to purchase. I never would have spent the money if I hadn't seen YouTube videos of their ROMs.

I'm actually having a issue with playing music - sudden freezing

Tried both andless and Rockbox (my players of choice). No specific pattern - it can freeze after a minute, or after thirty minutes. I ran logcat for the last crash and nothing popped up. System is completely frozen and I have to power off to fix it.

Just a heads up. I might run TnT Lite 2.4.0 for a day to see if I can replicate it there, or if this seems VEGAn specific. I also just started testing the Overclock app, so it could be related as well and I'm actually removing that first just to get a baseline.
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
I don't think it's the ROM. I am almost positive that the slowdown issue is related to the CPU governor not clicking the CPU back up after a resume. After testing "Overclock Widget" for most of the day, I so far haven't had any slow down. I think it MIGHT actually be working.

Also, I've never had any screen sensitivity or calibration issue with my tab, regardless of the ROM. Today I tested out the "calibration.ini" hack and it did make the screen more responsive, but it wasn't unbearable to begin with.

If there were a touchscreen issue with the ROM I think we'd see many more people complaining.

cryptsetup

roebeet / rothnic / gojimi,

Any way to get cryptsetup included in the next update? If we had cryptsetup we could basically replicate truecrypt functionality by looping an encrypted file and setting a mountpoint.

I actually do this on my linux workstations by keeping my cryptfile on dropbox and looping/mounting when I'm booted up.

Here is a link where someone pulled it off on their G1: http://androidvoid.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/android-encryption-using-cryptsetup-and-luks/
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I'm an Ubuntu user who uses Truecrypt religiously. I actually have a 60GB TC file on my netbook which I use for the "important" stuff.

I don't know if anyone else besides the two of us would care about this, but this is definitely something I want to delve into more. Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like the dev was nice enough to give us an ARM-compiled binary. Did you try it out, yet? Here's another thought - I'm wondering if this would allow me to get around the 4GB FAT32 file size issue. hmmmmm
[G Tablet Android Development] zerozed99:
You may be correct. I went ahead and deleted the calibration.ini file--the reason was that my problems started once I loaded the file. Unsure if it's coincidence or causality--I never had a problem with the screen before though.

I'll stick with VEGAn for awhile longer unless I start having more issues; if so then I'm moving back to TnTLite until VEGAn goes 1.0
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
As far as I know TrueCrypt devs don't have any plans to release for Android, though the source is available and could possibly be compiled.

Haven't tested the cryptsetup binary out yet, but we might need kernel source to get it to work. I only use xts (same as truecrypt) encryption (cbc, even with essiv, has issues). We would need xts.ko and gf128mul.ko for xts encryption to be supported.

My entire Linux system (minus /boot) is fully encrypted with LVM within and I use loopback cryptfiles stored on dropbox to store my super secret ninja files. Basically the same thing as a TC file, but I don't agree with TrueCrypt's license so I avoid their product whenever possible.

Gonna test the binary out and see what happens...

***UPDATE***

I get a "permission denied" when trying to run the binary...

***UPDATE 2***

Moved it to /system/bin and IT RUNS. WHOA. Gonna test some more!

This is exactly the problem I pointed out on IRC last night, where I was able to trigger it almost right away using SwiFTP. In short I was pushing 2.5 MBps to sdcard2 via WiFi. Within in 60 to 90 seconds the tablet froze up.

But strange enough when I plugged in USB and watched the log I couldn't replicate the problem...

Original Vega Wallpaper?

When this thread started, there was an image of the G-Tablet sporting a dfiierent screen than the default now (blue w/what looked like a spark shower in the middle). Is there a place to download that?

Everyone I have shown really s impressed with the device w new ROM running, the current wallpaper brings questions of vegetarianism nearly everytime. Lol.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I believe that both of them are embedded i their respective framework files.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Spark shower is in Zpad. I don't think you can find them on the tablet because they are located in the framework apk.
