For those that are wanting but not ordered an Adam - the Pixel QI versions are already sold out. All they have left now is the LCD version.

Since I couldn't pull the trigger on the Adam I guess the only thing standing between me unboxing my g tablet is questions of the viewing angles. Since my wife picked this up from the store I have not seen it in person. Is it really a deal breaker? What is Office Depot return policy on open products - I know during the holidays returns are extended until Jan 8 but not sure if that mean sealed in the box or not? I imagine I could just go and return it Dec 26 if it is that bad....stores are usually so crazy that day they ask few questions about returns.

Oh, and about Notion Ink. They updated their blog explaining some of the conditions (such as $50 shipping) and it is a little more comforting. I never doubted they were a good, honest company. I think my issue is that they are biting off more than they can chew.

Building a fantastic product in a lab is one thing - seeing a new product introduction through the entire manufacturing process is something completely different and that is where I am not sure of NI's experience. While the prospect of waiting sux, I think I am more comfortable doing so than jumping in on the first run.

It is not a question of NI taking care of me if there is an issues, it is a question of when. I am still jealous of all those who did place the order and will kick myself the day everyone starts posting their unboxing videos :-(
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Office Depot will give you a return gift ticket for Jan 8th (they did for me). Since Flash and the acceleromter have issues out of box, Office Depot should allow return and no restock or forced store credit (they do this for opened electronics). The store manager wrote on my receipt "Full return allowed", since he was aware of the issues.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
For personal viewing/usage I don't really find it to be that noticeable except when I rotate the tablet specifically to look at this and was simultaneously checking for backlight bleed(had bad bleed on GT & WPDN).

Sorry, but there's a problem with a company that immediately charges for an order when they KNOW it will not be shipping for a while. They're SUPPOSED to NOT charge UNTIL the item is shipped or about to be shipped. So this tells me that they're tight on money ATM...

[Gen8 General] span_01:
Very nice, thanks alot! Been waiting for more of these 2.2 reviews to come out but haven't seen many yet that actually addresses the problems and features that 2.2 has brought.

Would you recommend to update for the people who have still not updated?
[Gen8 General] cpg716:
Unless you are itching for Flash 10.1 now then I think you might wanna wait. My device has no issues, but many are reporting problems. Archos has been releasing updates about once a month since the devices came out, so it is possible they will have a second 2.2 update before the end of this month.

They know there is a some issues and have addressed that their will be fixes, but no time frame has been given yet...

There is no way to back to 2.1 at the moment.. Thats why I would say wait..

[Gen8 General] xguntherc:
I wouldn't update personally.. I thought all was fine, but now I've used it a few days.. it's in need of serious help.. I think the JIT Compiler is disabled, and many other 2.2 performance increases are not there. It's slower in benchmarks. I was liking it at first, but now things like multi-tasking are very hard. My G1 ran better. and that is the truth. I can only have 2 tabs in browser open, 3rd i get lag, then freezing, then reboot. almost every other time.

lol. I'm pretty sad

Reading amazon for Archos 101 reviews

Reading amazon for Archos 101 reviews. They range from complete HATE to downright marriage material.

The thing I hear the most common in these reviews is Screen response time.

Is this something that gets fixed with new software updates? I thought it might be something like that.

Another common theme is viewing angles. Well, still having NOT seen it, I worry about it. But then i will be the only one in front of it.

And yet another complaint on Amazon, as well as other places, is something about it not being a REal web browser?

I hope to use it for viewing AVI's of chuck season three, or my Brisco County, Jr dvd, some light or adventure gaming, reading pdfs, and reading in a REAL web browser, open office. Can I do these things easily with as little modding as possible?

Im guessing that theres a USB dvd available to be able to watch DVD's? Yes, Im a bit out of 'Tech' Touch?

Is there a light version of eclipse or some other IDE, that I can run under android? or is that asking too much?

[Gen8 General] cpg716:
Viewing angles: With this it seems there may be 2 different panels being used, or just some people are why more picky then others. While the viewing angles are no where near as good as the iPad or Galaxy Tab I think they are still very acceptable. They are never bothersome when I am using the device.

Web Browser: I have no clue that what they mean about about it not being a real web browser... It is WebKit browser the same as Chrome and FireFox are built on. Yes it may not offer all the features of PC based browser but the average user should not know the difference. Some of those posts may be before 2.2 and Flash 10.1 being available. But in that sense it would be no different then browsing on the Apple iPad since it doesnt support Adobe Flash.

[Gen8 General] oic0:
If you worry about the viewing angles, look at a netbook. The screen is the same as the common 10.1 inch netbook TN panel. In stock at most bestbuys, walmarts, targets, etc... you can play with one and see.

I have the 70, I use it as a netbook replacement. Fills that role very well. All except the typing. That takes quite a bit longer. For actual browsing though, its pretty good. I usually have about 3 tabs open in dolphin HD. With flash off of course. Flash is pretty worthless right now.
[Gen8 General] MoonPhantasm:
Oops pressed thanks rather than quote, but hey I don't mind helping that. :P

Anyway, the web browser is fine, plus you can download opera, opera mini, dolphin hd, and various other. 2.2 also support flash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mallux:
So, when i go to download my digital copy, i get a choice between iTunes format and windows mediaplayer format. While the iTunes format will work with all sorts of devices (iPods, iPhones, etc.) the windows media format explicitly states it will not work with Zune or Zune devices. wtf...? I was excited to see Inception on my Focus and now I have to go back to my tilt2 and use its media player if i want to watch it on a cellular device?! Does anyone know if there's a way to import either the WMP format or the iTunes format to Zune, so i can actually use my WP7 device for this???
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Pretty sure wp7 can play mp4 files, which iirc is a quicktime container (correct me if I'm wrong).

Also WP7 isn't a zunehd. It has zunehd functionality but capabilities are necesarily the same. Should have just gone and downloaded some files and checked before u got it, imo.

Inception isnt that good, anyways ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Sounds like something Warner Bros should address and add WP7 compatibility. Dont see it happening though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
According to WmPoweruser today's article

WP7 doesn't see MP4.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I'm pretty sure Zune can transcode them to you phone since it's one of the Codecs the software actually adds to Windows systems that dont' have it (i.e. Windows XP).

The Zune Desktop Software natively supports MP4 files, so there's no reason not to believe it cannot transcode them for your WP7 or ZuneHD device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Ah yes. So when you throw like 3 movies to your device you wait like 4 hours for "transcoding".

Because of the "Zune concept".
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
Yeah, it'd be pretty nifty if it could play every format, but I got used to handbraking files for my Tilt2 anyway, just because they saved a ton of space, and, in my opinion, looked better when they were properly encoded for the screen size they were gonna be played on. So, yeah, the system had already broken me into not expecting magic from a cell phone. Ohwellz.

Like most gripes about 7, this one is likely rooted into Microsoft complying with an IP owner's crazy demands just so they can offer content at all. That's the price we pay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Which movie did you transcode that took 4 hours?
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
And it's still at 86%...

Did I overcharge or something?

I dont know why but this thread made me lols ! The phone hasnt been plugged in

within the 56 hours ? Could you post a screenshot of the battery status screen ?

[G2 and Desire Z General] rp1783:
Screen off and in airplane mode is the only way you'd be able to pull that off.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I only see it possible if you did a restore and haven't charged.

Example: Performed a restore using a recovery from two days. Before restoring the battery was fully charged. This will cause the amount from last charge to be out of wack and show the amount of hours since your recovery rom was charged.

We don't believe you...you need more people
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
+1. Excellent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Oh that? That's a ROM I flashed on your phone. It's called JokesOnYou V1.3

Changelog:

1.0 = Your phone is dead with that image displayed forever

1.1 = Updated the framework, your phone is still dead, but now it's Gingerbread

1.2 = (removed) sent continuous screenshots to Cyanogen, making him **** his pants. I got sick of donating enough for new pants.

1.3 = deducts a penny from the debit card you use in the android market daily to contribute to steve jobs' coffin. It's pretty nifty, called the iDead and continually updates it's users letting us know that he is, in fact, still dead...your phone (sadly) is still dead and will continue to display your insane battery life.

[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
56 hours isn't that crazy if you think about it, it's almost 2 1/2 days, if you put your in edge, and low brightness and don't text or call anyone or use at all, for that matter, I think you can achieve that. There's people who go for 2 days without charging. I don't see why it can't happen. It's not a blackberry but ****tt, it's close enough.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Utorrent76:
Yeah, im calling B.S on that one. You must not be touching your phone @ all. Even with out touching your phone that sounds doubtful. Show us some screens of the battery status so we can see when it was last unplugged and then maybe, just maybe I'll believe you.

[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
Did you forget to turn on the phone during 54 of those 56 hours?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
I don't think he's trolling, he probably just has a problem with his phone. My Xperia X10 did this a couple of times and when it was nearly dead I saw the TRUE battery values and then it quickly died. I had also calibrated my battery too. It's not too outlandish.

Willing to bet his phone will suddenly show an extremely low number or just die all together. If his battery truly lasted that long though, awesome! My DZ is new so I'm draining the battery a few times and will calibrate it as I've flashed a few different ROMs in excitement :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] .A.J.:
So far this is the longest my battery has lasted and I barely used the phone. Some phone calls (worked a 14 hour day in the first 24 hours = no time to talk), some emails, a few texts and a little bit of web browsing. Besides that just my weatherbug hourly update and the news widget updating every 6 hours. I was on 3g/hspa+ the whole time. Maybe if I put it on Edge and didn't use the phone I could come close to the OP's claim. No way under normal circumstances/use could I get near my 35+ hour battery life, let alone the OP's claim. There's certainly no way it could be at 86%. Something is not right.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Dear OP,

You're phone died days ago... the image you see on your screen is in fact just your reflection.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raptor-21:
I remember when I first got my Z, my old HTC Hero sat on a table for over week before I sold it, it was at full charge to start with, and when I checked the bat stats after that time it was at 63%, obviously the screen was off almost the whole time, and no sim = no service. I was amazed at first that it had lost so little over that time, then I wondered how it lost that much at all when it had seen zero usage in that time, and it was a fresh ROM with nothing set up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] toosas:
Alrighty then, to back up the OP, this is not complete bull****, I managed to get 59 hours with my Desire Z a couple of days ago. The phone was basically just left on the side, no calls, unused, apart from a few minutes of some random game, for most of the time wifi and data was on, in a wifi connected area. I disabled wifi and data at some point on the last day to see how long can I keep it alive. GSM was always on.

The interesting bit is >> display wasn't even on the battery usage list at all?

I usually get terrible battery life from it i.e. at the moment its uptime is 14h and it's already in the yellow.

The only thing I remember doing that day was using my 3rd party car charger when the battery was half full (it didn't recharge fully, just used it for one short trip). Wonder if that could mess up the uptime count..

[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
Do you fellas down yonder prefer Clockwork or amon_ra recovery to ye likings?
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
I prefer Amon_Ra. It's really useful being able to connect via USB while in recovery.
[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
Agreed, also does a more thorough wipe in my findings and backs up RSA keys. Plus I like not having to push my volume keys 1,000 times to select "yes".

Clockwork beats amon_ra in its ability to scroll through your SD card to see all of your files. If you more files than can fit on the screen on your SD card, then amon_ra will cut the files at the end off and you wont be able to see them. Clockwork also has Rom Manager usability.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Choose Zip makes clockwork win for me!
[EVO 4G General] tek818:
They both serve pretty much the same purpose, with the exception of Amon being able to back up the wimax partition. That being said, I prefer Clockwork because of the ROM Manager functionality. In fact, I like ROM Manager so much I purchased it.
[EVO 4G General] Igotsanevo4g:
There is nothing RA can do the clcokwork cant, you can mount yor sd card to your computer, and rom manger is sweet as hell.

Clockwork ftw.
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
Except clockwork won't back up your wimax partition which contains your RSA keys. So If you hose your wimax and try to restore from a nandroid created by clockwork, you'd be screwed.

That said, I prefer Clockwork myself for most of the above mentioned reasons. I simply installed amon_ra initially and made a secure nandroid backup of everything, then flashed clockwork over it and use that for day to day ROM switching.

If I ever need to fix a missing keys wimax issue I'll just install amon again.
[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
Not true. You cant back up WIMAX partition in Clockwork.
[EVO 4G General] Igotsanevo4g:
How many times does that happen, i mean you gotta be pretty thick to blast your 4G.

I didnt know about this though. Still dont care cause ill never get any damn 4G!

/rant
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
I use both
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
Amon ra all the way.

I did a bad flashwith clockwork and lost my keys, remembered that ra backs them up in my moment of loss, fear, and rage and flashed ra, the month old backup restored them

If you use clockwork PLEASE do yourself a favor and make a RA backup just in case

So. If you long press a text field you'll get an option as to which keyboard to use - the htc swype or the froyo touch. I think we're set to swype by default, but which one is actually better for typing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
If u have the phone, just try them out. The only better that matters is yours opinion

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
The RUU should remove any custom splash screens. Try to run the RUU again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
is the ruu running until it is complete? are you getting any errors form the ruu program while it is running. make sure that you have the correct ruu and just try it again.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
no confirmation, but i don't see why it wouldn't.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
maybe the contour screen would hinder that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samurai Drac:
I don't believe so; reinforced glasses are "poured" / "blown" in any shape. Shape may affect different engineering strengths (tensile, torsion, compression, etc), but in this case, it wouldn't have any measurable effect for a cellular phone. Those kinds of "issues" are reserved for measurement in load-bearing and projectile-resistant purposed glass.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madcypher:
Not on the list...

If Corning's website is up to date, then I'd say no...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsai3d:
Somewhat unrelated, but I think the contour glass is a brilliant idea for screen protection. This looks like it will make it much harder to crack the glass in the event of a drop.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljwnow:
I don't care. That kind of glass is very easy to get scratched. The best screen glass is on apple's iphone 4. I have to admit.

[Liquid S100 General] jascayne:
First of all, I hope I've put this in the right section... If not, please move it to the appropriate location and don't get too mad at me. I'm running an Acer Liquid E with cyanogen on it and I have found that I am completely unable to install my favourite app ever. Tasker is something that I have been using for a few months now and really don't know how I could live without it on my phone anymore... If I try and install it from the phone I get an error message saying that the application could not be installed. No more information than that from the device itself unfortunately. I then tried to install it through ADB and it at least cranks back that it cannot install due to a missing DLL file. I was able to use Tasker on the official 2.1, and the official 2.2, but with CM on it I can't get anywhere... The problem is that I won't go back to the stock rom since my phone crashes every time I make or receive a phone call after 10 minutes of the phone being in standby, and I need to wait for the radio to reboot before I can even make a call. Any suggestions? I am more than willing to pull the offending DLL file out of the stock update and place it in to the CM rom if anyone might be able to point out which file I need and where it would be located. Please let me know if there is any more information I could provide that would help.
[Liquid S100 General] Jayziac:
Maybe try the Liquid Metal ROM on top of stock 4.002.14, it's pretty fast & maybe it'll fix your crashes too.
[Liquid S100 General] jascayne:
Alright, definitely willing to give that a go, but I'm kind of new to playing around with my Liquid still... Things are a lot different with it than my Magic was. When you say stock 4.002.14 do you mean the official 2.2 update with a custom rom flashed over top? I don't entirely follow you here, but that could be just because I'm tired. Just search for some Liquid Metal how-to guide lovin' I'm guessing?

edit: Thanks dude, you rock! The Metal rom fixed all my issues, and sped my phone up too, and without needing to push it up to 1GHz... And I get to go back to having my bottom mounted notification bar again! Awesomeness all around. Thanks again.
