Have you tried UD2.4 yet? Also, 2.5 is suppose to release sometime Sunday or Monday. Maybe the issue has been fixed in one of the last few updates.

Under UD settings and the overclock/underclock feature, what is the minimum clock speed set at? Maybe raising that value would help?

Its currently at 245, ill bump it to 450 or something around that, ill update.

Hi all,

I accidentally deleted swype on my i9000 using titanium backup -> Uninstall.

How do I restore swype? Fac reset doesn't help... neither does titanium backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] krazykat:
Flash a firmware.

Install a swype apk. I think if you head over to insanity's custom rom, they have the stock apps there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ngkkv:
hi all,

I've looked up my own firmware for my region and flashed back to the stock.

Thanks for all the advice.

I transfered the file to the phone, named it update, ran recovery mode yet I keep getting a strange error (Error 7 I believe). Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance! P.S I am new to this community
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victor_5:
im relatively new to using community based roms please no bashing serious answers only

my question is if it is safe to use the builds of android on your phone as your primary OS as in can these community builds of android be trusted not to be stealing information would you use it for banking personal email etc....

it seams to me some one smart enough to modify an entire OS can easily build a key logger for it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
its a valid point.....

its something ive wondered myself though its more the app developers and google that I distrust, cant help but feel a little suspicious when a game tells me it requires access to my contacts.....

personally I wouldn't use my phone for financial transactions anyway, android or not.....

haven't read any reports of things like this though if it helps to ease your mind.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
the thing to remember is the sheer number of users on the site. for every member that actively posts, there are a dozen who don't, you only need to go to the forum homepage and see how many online users there are. (12500 logged in as i write this)

the point being that anyone doing anything underhand would be hard pressed to keep it secret for long.

so, yes its a potential danger, but id estimate that its probably far less dangerous to potential data leaks than, say, walking through a large city center with your phones bluetooth turned on.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Dauber1:
Hello Everyone,

I think I might have bricked my Fascinate using Tasker, but am very hopeful someone here can help.

I wanted to set-up a profile to turn off the volume and screen when my phone was placed face-down, which looked easy enough. First I programmed the volume off and tested it and it worked perfectly. Then I added turning the screen off which also worked perfectly, until I turned the phone face-up and the screen did not turn back on.

I can get the screen to comee on when I call the phone, but only while the phone is face-down, and I can't answer the phone or do anything. NO LED will come on signifing that I missed a call, but when I press the power button to bring up the lock screen NO LED disappears and the phone screen goes black again.

When I plug the phone into the computer via USB, I hear the beep signifing that the pop-up screen asking if I want to mount the sd card, but I can't select anything because...THE SCREEN IS BLACK!!

Thanks in advance for any help,

P.S. Sorry, after posting I realized I was in the wrong forum and could not find a way to delete or move my post.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] MrDanger:
Hey are you rooted??

If so you can boot to recovery with adb commands to restore to a previous backup OR wipe phone.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Dauber1:
Unfortunately I am not yet rooted. Can I use adb, and if I can, does debugging have to be on?
[Android Themes] rosslabossiere:
Is it true that with Gingerbread, companies like HTC can't use UIs like Sense on Android?
[Android Themes] user7618:
Where did you hear that? I don't see why they can't. Samsung didn't inflict touchwiz on the nexus s probably because it's supposed to replace the nexus 1 as Google's dev phone.

Where'd you hear this from? :confused:
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I think the wording was more like: With 3.0, they were trying to remove the need for skins.

Now, this was a while back, Gingerbread isn't 3.0 and they never said they couldn't use them.

[HDMI CABLE REVIEW]

Full review is on the way, I just wanted to let you know that I do have the prototype in hand and it DOES work, video and sound :)

[MALATA ZPAD DOCK REVIEW]

I finally got received my ‘official’ Malata ZPAD Dock today and wanted to post for all to see. PLEASE BARE WITH ME on my review, the pics aren’t that great and I didn’t run a bunch of tests but I have most of the basic info that everyone is going to want to know. Feel free to ask questions and I will try to run additional tests for you.

DOCK - HDMI Out, USB, LAN and power (no additional ac adapter supplied) – The quality is nice. The bottom of the dock has a rubber insert as to not scratch a table if moved around and as you may see from the pic there is a rubber insert where the tablet itself sits to protect it. The tab just drops on; pretty simple. With the ac adapter plugged in the tab does show that it’s charging. It sits at a rather upright angle (not straight up and down) so I would think that it’s something that you would NOT want to try type on without a keyboard on a regular basis, but it does seem pretty steady on there.

USB – As you can tell from the pic it did recognize an 8 GB USB thumb drive that I had plugged into it. I did not get to test a USB keyboard and mouse as the ones that I have available didn’t work natively with the tablet so I didn’t even try with the dock (yet).

LAN – Also in a pic, once plugged in the connection lights on the back started lighting up immediately. I turned off my WiFi and enabled the Ethernet in setting and it quickly got an IP and as you can see there is no longer an ‘x’ on the tablet LAN icon. I DID test the internet and all worked just fine.

HDMI – plugged the HDMI in and hooked it up to a 32” and it popped right up. NOW the quality was grainy and I’m sure there may be a way to fix that but I just wanted to get you pics to show whether it worked or not. In the pics you can see my screen duplicated and I started a movie (which I will say the quality was much better in the movie that it replicating my home screens)

All in all… I am extremely pleased and can’t wait to put it to use.

With that being said, I need to thank those involved for their work in spearheading efforts to get these in for us. I plan on trying to get a couple over as quickly as possible to ‘donate’ to a couple of people that won’t take donations for some exceptional work and personal attention (more on that to come later... )

I will update as soon as I can with any other ‘information’ in regards to the availability of these on US soil.

Let me know what you think!

EDIT: Just added a couple of pics of the innards (sent them to the dropbox for larger resolution). Ok, HDMI guys, what next?

[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Great work Steve. Is there any possible way for you to diagram the pin out of the connector (at least to the hdmi pins). We are working on an HDMI cable with a plug breakout board and have no idea how to guess which of the 30 pins go to which wires on the hdmi cable.

Thanks again
[G Tablet Accessories] apx_:
The pinouts for all would be good to know. Wouldn't mind making a cable with all connections!

Anyways, great review!

Can't wait to get ours from the group buy in!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
that's gonna be outta my realm of knowledge right this second but if you want to try to tell me what to do, I'm not scared?

This Android journey that started with my phone a few months ago and is lingering to the tablet has made me pretty fearless. I'm now learning more about adb and ddms (just wanna take pics). It worked once and never since, something about java and crap like that.

Lemmie know.
[G Tablet Accessories] rothnic:
Thanks for the review, the cloning of the screen looks awesome.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
it should... it's your work :)
[G Tablet Accessories] shibbybypass:
This might be a stupid question but what resolution does it output to your tv? I am going to buy one of these as soon as I can. Very cool.
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
HDMI connect to TV..
[G Tablet Accessories] apx_:
Is it easy to open it up? Trace the wiring?

Don't think there will be much on the onside.
[G Tablet Accessories] shibbybypass:
I hope that isn't a response to me. HDMI is not a resolution. That is the connector. It could output 480p for all I know.
[G Tablet Accessories] xmr405o:
Wow thanks. I can't wai to get mine. Dumb question but do u have to have the zpad rom to use this dock?
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
High Speed HDMI Cable support 1080P. So, if you have a DOCK and HDMI caple..
[G Tablet Accessories] shibbybypass:
It doesn't mean the device supports it up to that resolution. He didn't even mention it. Do you have one that you have tested? It could be limited to a certain resolution. Is that so hard to understand? I know what HDMI is. I know what resolutions are. You keep repeating things I already know. I want to know what resolutions are available when you are outputting to your tv. Does it actually ask you what resolution? Some tvs and monitors do not go to 1080p. So please I would like for the original poster or someone that has one to please respond. You are not helping me at all here.
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
ah,,

OK. Easy..easy.

I have no intention to offend.
[G Tablet Accessories] shibbybypass:
I am not offended by what you said. I am just curious and you weren't answering my question is all. There are many devices that use HDMI without using it to it's full potential. No hard feelings here. :o
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I've got a crazy schedule this week but will do what I can to get all of your questions answered for you. I need to check to see if my TV supports 1080p (I'll bet it doesn't, cheapy) however I wouldn't really know how to test , in fact, that's what the tablet is pushing. If someone knows a way to test that feel free to let me know.

Also, I'm not gonna lie and they these aren't cheap. Unfortunately because of my OCD, ADD, and impulsive nature; this thing wasn't cheap for me to get here that quickly however I will take it to work today and see what I can do to rip it apart to find out the cabling for those that have asked. If (when) I get it torn apart I'll be asking you asking you guys exactly what the hell I'm supposed to be looking for (pinouts ect).

I will also find the time to flash a couple other ROMS to let you know that all works with each ones. Unfortunately that wont be happening until tonight tho. I can flash and have the ROMS ready for testing but won't be back to the TV until tonight.

I'm sorry that I couldn't do a more thorough review for everyone beforehand but as I said before, I really wanted to get something up quickly as I know that we were all wanting to know if it even worked at all for now.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
No appology needed.....big thanks just for your great feedback!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
just dropped some links with pics in the OP with the innards... Let me know what else you need ripped apart for cabling :) ...
[G Tablet Accessories] harpua1980:
Steve for a pin out diagram all you need is a simple continuity tester with thin probes. Hold one probe to a pin on the main port and begin touching pins on the connections in the back HDMI, USB, etc. When the tester beeps or lights up you have a match. Make note of it on your diagram. Shouldn't take too long and its totally safe for your dock.
[G Tablet Accessories] rswindle:
I'm software not hardware, but best bet at a guess would be for to diagram the connector and all the outputs, then take a volt meter and iduno what level of voltage (something tiny obviously, somebody who knows hardware better on here could say) and just try to pass a small signal through each pin of the dock connector and use the volt meter to map where it comes out.

Again, I'm software not hardware so I may be way off here. I wonder if those fellas who sell the dock breakout would be willing for you to ship them the dock and they run signals through it and ship it back to you after they've mapped it for us. Would be a boon for them to know the mapping because then they could start selling us a dock to hdmi connector.. And a hobbyist shop like that, they probably know how to safely pass a signal through the thing to map the dock.
[G Tablet Accessories] orcenio:
Unfortunately I cannot charge my tab normally, but I found someone who had the same problem but uses a dock instead. So I guess I need a dock, either that or live with a brick...
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:

Malata Dock & Stock Viewsonic G

The dock works well with the stock G-tab.

Turn off WiFi and the G uses the dock's ethernet connection.

Tested Hdmi out with crackle.com and it works well.

Dock charges the G when attached.

The angle on the dock is not adjustable and it doesn't come with its own power supply but those are my only complaints.

Bought mine from electroniccrap.com and the service was fast and I would buy from Steve again. :D
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
There is another thread with all the case reviews :)

[G Tablet Accessories] chrishaw:
Any idea if you're going to get more of the BlutO's? Looks like a slick setup.
[G Tablet Accessories] iglaze:
So just to be clear, is it faster to order through the electroniccrap website? I don't have enough posts to go through the market (I didn't even know there was a market on this site as well), because I want to make sure that I order a few things before they run out again.

Thanks

[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
Steve...

thanks for taking the time to tear apart your dock....

the pictures were notsogood though :) any chance you still have it apart and can post the part numbers of the silicon on the board? Specifically the one closest to the HDMI port - that will be the HDMI driver.

I'm guessing that at the end of the day, 95% of the dock is tied up with charging and 802.E and the HDMI is just being "passed through." It's a low votlage signal (10mV per line) and the Tegra has a built in HDMI output.

Since the Gtab is based on Tegra, and Tegra supports 1080P playback AND natively supports HDMI with built in peripheral hardware, I'm going to guess that it is entirely possible to have an HDMI cable directly out of the back and skip the dock entirely.

we just need to find a supplier for the connector :D and with HDMI on the other end.
[G Tablet Accessories] camann:
FYI: Docks and chargers are in at Steve's site.
[G Tablet Accessories] camann:
Looks like the cases (Clip and M1) might be in on Thursday.
[G Tablet Accessories] djh36:
purchased an hdmi dock too - thanks steve.

i skimmed through pages of this thread (didnt read all 20 pages yet) and correct me if i'm wrong, but is there something wrong with the hdmi out? sounds like either it's a pass through or that the resolution from the hdmi out isn't very good.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Last time I checked someone had made the deduction that the HDMI had to be powered as well and that a cable could NOT be made. There have several requests at it and as of right now nothing successfully made.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
The dock, in theory, should just be a pass through. It could possibly be an amplifier, but the Tegra device outputs HDMI compliant levels natively so it doesn't need power for <15m cables. I'd be really surprised if the dock manufacturer is doing anything with the HDMI signal as that would require them to purchase a $15K license, and then "keys" on top of that. Just doesn't make sense looking at the product / cost / resale price. There is nothing between the Tegra chip and the HDMI connector on the Tegra hardware development platform, so all things point to it just being pinned out.

Because HDMI is a quasi-LVDS signal, it doesn't require amplification unless you are going long cable runs, so in theory, we should be able to go HDMI out right to a panel (similar to how the HTC smartphones work) My guess is that viewsonic has a cable or dongle in their marketing roadmap and is controlling a proporietary plug on the unit end.

Also, the HDMI output resolution "should" be dictated by the decoder, and is (usually) not re-scaled in the HDMI output of the device.

Again, Tegra 230 supports HDMI output natively on chip and the nvidia datasheet even says 1920x1080 (1080p) is supported on the low end devices when HDMI out is used.

I'll see if I can sneak in the lab and probe the outputs with our logic analyzer.

The only thing I can think of with the poor HDMI output resolution is that viewsonic somehow managed to route the HDMI signal off of the LCD drive pins, in which case you would get max 1024x600 - or it's setup in "mirroring" HDMI but we would still get the same resolution on an external panel versus the LCD.

If anyone (Steve :) ) has a dead dock they can send my way, I'd be more than happy to deconstruct it and figure out the signal routing and see if it's possible to tear the connector out and wire it straight to HDMI. I'm good with fine pitch solder :D

I'm 99% sure that it's a connector issue though. If an android smartphone can do it, damnit so can our tablets! We just need to figure out how.....and after this, I'll figure out how to get Flash working....

I want to probe this thing anyway. Apparently there is a RGB / VGA output in Tegra also, and if that got pinned out, it's going to make it really easy to connect to projectors and other "analog" type displays, which would make us business travelers really happy.

wanna know the biggest kicker? Tegra supports up to 12MP cameras, and all we got was 1.3MP....

BTW - the hardware development document for Tegra is available here - http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tegra/docs/tegra_250_hw_setup.pdf

I may try and buy one of these kits....

Until then, I'm really hoping that the schematics end up on the web from Viewsonic somewhere. That will make life really easy!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
well... that's 'just' nerdy enough to make me wanna help. I will look for struggling dock to see if I can get to you. I'd like to do what I can to help!
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
or if anyone has a dead / damaged G-tab, that would help too, so I don't have to tear apart my brand new one :)

or......if someone does take one apart and can put the board on a high resolution scanner, I can decompile it that way too!

the sky's the limit when you have engineering resources for pet projects :)

I've requested the hardware schematic from nVidia but they are a PITA and aren't shipping eval kits to anyone that isn't guaranteeing 100K volumes yet.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
Lemme know. I'm just down the street in houston, but I'm in DFW once a week or so!
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
The major problem that I see with using a cable instead of a dock, is the fact that it attaches to the bottom of the tablet. This would prevent it from being in an upright position, or makeshift dock, which is how this is usually used.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
I'm looking at the cables for the travel type use. You are right though - for regular home use, the dock is fine. But, I use a tablet on the road as it's easier to travel with, and I don't need another brick to carry around.

I want something I can plug into the TV in the hotel room, or even better, plug into a projector and do powerpoint right off of it with a BT mouse.

make sense?
[G Tablet Accessories] ghaleous:
Let me know if I can help as well; I've got a buddy that's got ready access to a EE lab at a major university nearby. Him and the underclassmen he hires as lab techs love skunkworks projects like this and I may be able to enlist his help.
