Hi. Wondering if anyone could help me with the ethernet port on the dock for the gtab. I got it yesterday and it charges great but I can't find anywhere to turn the ethernet on so I can get an address. The send/receive lights are lit but nothing on the tablet. Any help will be greatly appriciated.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I recently addressed this with the DEV's and I think right now it'd dependent on the ROM you are running. It was tested and confirmed running with Rothnic's ZPAD's builds and I expect it to be ported into the newer ROMS. All three of the main DEV's have docks being shipped to them as we speak so I think it's safe to think that if it's nor working on the current ROM you are running now that it probably will be soon.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Steve.... I have always run tnt lite. Do you know if the HDMI out works for tnt? I guess I forgot to ask you what system you tested this on. It makes sense it works woth Zpad since the dock is for the zpad. But, many of us are running tnt.
[G Tablet Accessories] LRiley:
how much for the case?
[G Tablet Accessories] lambertma:
Thanks. It2steve. I had a friend of mine point me to this site when I started thinking about the gtab and when I got it rooted it and flashed it after two days. I am now running Tnt lite 2.2.1 i believe. I don't have it with me right now so I cannot give you any info. I am going to keep following this and hopefully it will be working soon. Thanks again for the reply.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
The case, for now, is just a prototype. The one I received was nice, just not as snug as I expected (with it being leather I assume it qould only get a little looser). There should be another sample coming soon.

I'll keep you posted.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
steve, any update as to whether the dock will work on the VegaN or the tnt ROM? If not, I think this will not be much value to many of us. Thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Ill test it tomorrow and update you.
[G Tablet Accessories] jungleboob:
hey i see your sig says you have some docks for sale but i couldnt go to the thread? do u still have some available?
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Tested it and the ethernet does not seen to be enabled (everything else is fine). I think this will be quickly fixed and we know it works in ZPAD and all the DEV's are getting docks as we speak.
[G Tablet Accessories] bajan5026:
see the price drop post it is availible for $36 today only with a code.
[G Tablet Accessories] Muscleboy:
gtablet (zpad2 is g-tablet)dock connector is industry standard

The port is called a PDMI port. Should be able to find the standard.
[G Tablet Accessories] ksporry:
That's Chinglish for you... lost in translation I guess. I had a look at the Malata website, but didn't see anything about the resolution output for HDMI. Assuming there is no specific 1080p processing going on (or 720p, or...), I would assume it outputs the native screen resolution.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
When did that happen ? looked and couldn't locate any posts, would have been a no brainer at that price.
[G Tablet Accessories] tuxnerd:
HDMI include sound

Hi, thanks so much for posting how this dock works, I was wondering, does the HDMI out support audio out as well?

Thanks!

-TuxNerd

I love G-Tablet running VEGAn-TAB -- Thank you Devs!
[G Tablet Accessories] roebeet:
The Ethernet almost works - there's a problem with assigning DNS so names cannot be resolved. That's been corrected in TnT Lite 3.1.3 and the next beta of VEGAn should also have this fix.

I'm not sure why the TnT devs would have missed this, unless the docks that VS plans to distribute are different?

As for HDMI audio, I tested on both a LCD HDTV and my LCD monitor (which has some crapola speakers in them). Audio was there on both, although there was noticable lag on my TV - might be cable issue or a device issue.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Keep an eye out for the possibility of a few more docks Stateside towards the end of the week???

I'll keep you posted :)
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
bump... got a couple more in stock, see OP or my market ad :) @ cost for XDA
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
second batch...
[G Tablet Accessories] SRTDOC:
Ok is this doc just plug and play or due you have to take your g tablet apart to make it work.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
The dock needs power (that's it, same adapter as the tab) and it's good to go. I have more on the way in, should be here Tuesday :)
[G Tablet Accessories] LuisB3:
I got the dock and love the way my tablet sits neatly on my entertainment center! But I have 2 questions:

1. How do I enable the local LAN connection on TNT Lite 4.10? I do not see that option under settings and network connections.

UPDATE: I rebooted the dock with the LAN connected and it works except for Pandora and the Android Marketplace.

2. Is there any way to toggle the HDMI out so that it won't override the headphone jack. (I connect to surround sound for Pandora via the headphone jack)

Other than that I am pleased with the dock and have recommended it to other fellow G Tablet owners. Hope you have more docks comign Steve!
[G Tablet Accessories] toddsworld34685:
Hello Steve, do you have anymore gtablet docks and how much $. Thanks, Todd
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Info on dock price and availability is in the link in my signature... I 'supposed' to direct everyone to the market link. I am showing the I am receiving 20 more docks and a few additional ac adapters today and already have about 10 people waiting. Feel free to PM me so I can direct you to the market when they are in.
[G Tablet Accessories] calgeek:
Hi Steve, I tried clicking on the link in your signature but it says I do not have sufficient permissions. Do you know what's wrong? I'm interested in getting an AC adapter for my G-Tab and wanted to see your pricing. Thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
You need at least 8 posts to visit the XDA Marketplace
[G Tablet Accessories] jpmi23:
Post more then. LOL! (Sorry.)
[G Tablet Accessories] lafm15:
aw man, I can't get to the post either...gonna have to start posting and just reading...
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
While the dock would be a great accessory to have, I think I'd use an HDMI cable more often. Wish we could get one for our tabs.
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
Will get it no longer

Will get it no longer. special designed for GTAB, The 30pin to HDMI cable. Keep in touch at this Thread.
[G Tablet Accessories] julesism:
got mine today...

Got mine today from it2steve. Thank you sir!
[G Tablet Accessories] huterfi:
Looking forward to getting my 8 posts so I can look into this. Thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Got mine today. When I let the tablet sit for a while on the dock and the tablet goes to screen saver mode the tablet shuts completely down. It has done this several times today. The tablet is fully charged and it's hooked up to the power supply.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
This happens with some of the custom Roms and kernels.

To prevent this while plugged in; go to settings - applications - development - check box for Stay Awake. This works without the dock but may not with it, I don't have a dock yet.

This will prevent the device from turning the screen off (or shutting down in this case) while it's plugged in. The brightness will drop to lowest power after some time of inactivity, but not completely power off.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Thanks, your suggestion worked.
[G Tablet Accessories] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
Posting to get market access. I'm the person who snagged robeets 2nd gtab off of ebay. He preloaded VEGAn and clockwork for me. Loving it. Thanks dude!
[G Tablet Accessories] oomwrtu:
Need 8 posts as well. Will be cool to have it dockable to show off.
[G Tablet Accessories] jmeridith:
Need more posts to see
[G Tablet Accessories] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
Do the docks take the same 12v 2A ac adapter as the g-tab? Do they come with one? If not, wouldn't any generic 12v/2A adapter work? Thanks in advance..
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
Can use your GTAB AC adapter

12V 2A AC adapter, as the same as GTAB's.

The DOCK was delivered single, not includ an adapter.
[G Tablet Accessories] Xaephen:
Anyone who has one of these, how easy is it to push over? I mean, is it pretty sturdy?
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
It's suprisingly heavy for it's small form factor. Although I personally wish the tablet would sit more at an angle while on the dock, it feels sturdy to the touch. I can type on it while it is docked (the dock has a layer of rubber? on the bottom for non-slip).
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
It has an weight iron inside.

right,has a layer of rubber on the bottom and a weight iron inside for non-SLIP
[G Tablet Accessories] ensign.fodder:
I believe they do and the part number for the psu is MPA-630 which on visual inspection is the same as a Kodak picture frame psu.
[G Tablet Accessories] Irish G:
Sears Docking Station Rebate

Just FYI - I talked to the Rebate lead at the company in LA that is providing the "free" docking stations for those who took advantage of that offer when Sears originally posted it in November. I say "free" because they sent a letter asking for a $10 check to cover shipping. Since I hadn't heard a word from them after paying the bill, I called them.

The Rebate lead told me the response on the rebate offer was overwhelming, but they still hadn't received any of the docking stations yet to ship. The manufacturer (or perhaps distributor) has promised them "in 2-3 weeks."

For what it's worth.

[G Tablet Accessories] smalis:
I too would love to get one of these cables. Undecided about the dock.
[G Tablet Accessories] jmeridith:
Got my dock and ac adapter yesterday. Fastest shipping ever. Thanks, now the wait on the case so I can get one of those. Also have to find a nice wireless setup
[G Tablet Accessories] LTL11:
Same here, I2steve is awesome to work with.

Dock is very high quality. I do wish it was a tad bigger but man it is nice.

Thanks Steve!
[G Tablet Accessories] cky2000:
Thank you so much it2steve. Shipping was really fast and the product is very nice. I can't believe I waited this long to order the dock, it's awesome :)

Thanks again it2steve!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Glad you guys are getting them so quickly!

For anyone that has emailed me about current stock, I was ice'd in yesterday and will be in the office shortly to update what (if anything) is still around.

swyped from my Vegan 'flavored' Gtab...
[G Tablet Accessories] jooky2000:
EDIT: Sorry off topic. I would like to get a dock. How many do you have and where are you?
[G Tablet Accessories] comhack:
I will definitely be buying one of the cases if you still have them available Friday morning the 11th.
[G Tablet Accessories] kvrdave:
New here. Great thread. Lots of help. Need 8 posts to see the market place. :)
[G Tablet Accessories] taruross:
Steve's great! Dock has worked great and I'm looking forward to getting the AC adapter.
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
Just wanted to say thanks to Steve for what he's doing here for us at xda.

The time it takes to set all this up and get these shipped quickly must be very time-consuming, and he's doing it all basically for free. This is an immense and valuable resource to have and he deserves much appreciation for it.

Drop a donation his way if you can.
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
Received my dock from Steve yesterday. Ordered it last weekend. Straightforward transaction, no nonsense, he got the dock in the mail Monday morning. Would deal with Steve again in a heartbeat... actually I'm considering one of his AC adapters as I type.

*thumbs up* :)
[G Tablet Accessories] cbinks:
Would like dock and case will email
[G Tablet Accessories] calgeek:
Hey Steve, I already have an iGo adapter with some tips. Would you mind sharing which tip you found worked? Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] tadvansky:
Sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing what this is about when I reach 10 posts. Off to do my part and clutter up the forum with 9 more useless posts...
[G Tablet Accessories] varugj:
Please clarify

Also interested in these reviews. Did the HDMI really output to HDMI?
[G Tablet Accessories] hitekredneck:
Yes, full 1080p output via HDMI from dock.

I use mine on my 55 inch LCD all the time with my Zippy wireless USB keyboard/trackball combo.
[G Tablet Accessories] taruross:
It's a great dock, and my charger should arrive today. Steve's great to work with and ships fast!

Thanks Steve.
[G Tablet Accessories] LTL11:
Again excellent service from Steve.

Got my Igo charger yesterday and that thing is a beast! Very high quality, works great and was shipped fast.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] jharris09:
I really want one. How much do they cost?
[G Tablet Accessories] jharris09:
Need posts as well....
[G Tablet Accessories] tadvansky:
Post number 10, yay! Now I can follow the link and buy one of these.
[G Tablet Accessories] poserina:
Has anyone seen a car charger for this tablet?
[G Tablet Accessories] jharris09:
More posts... More...
[G Tablet Accessories] Judo Jeff:
Igo tip #?

Does anyone know what tip fits? Unfortunately after this, need 6 more posts to get to marketplace...but at the same time, don't want to be too random in posting!
[G Tablet Accessories] kvrdave:
I would also like to know if anyone knows of one.
[G Tablet Accessories] harleythatcher:
I have a long way to go to get my post count up so I can buy one of these. I really hate to just put a useless post here to up it one. Well I guess that is what I just did. Oops

[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
Don't know what you mean by your post count, you just need 8 to access the market.

Anyhow, just pm or email Steve for the info on the item you're interested in. Simple.;)
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I can get you info on accessories if you can't see the market yet. I'm not sure why anyone would need to have to post to purchase accessories... Silly rule. I was a member for months before I ever posted.

Can you see peoples signatures without 'x' amount of postings?

And no I'm not being sarcastic, I truly wanna know...

...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant
[G Tablet Accessories] poserina:
Why is there even a restriction on access to the market?
[G Tablet Accessories] harleythatcher:
Actually I bumbled around till I figured it out. The whole post count thing had me confused...8 for the market and 10 for posting on the dev area as I understand it. I thank you for your help. I was trying to buy a dock but I guess you are out currently.

Tt
[G Tablet Accessories] atakapa:
Spam bots, I would think.

@it2steve, thanks for the quick ship on the charger. It works well and has better functionality than the stock one. A+++++ rec from me.
[G Tablet Accessories] eyenokea:
Thanks for taking the time to make the docks
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
not a problem... I know how I start to feel when I want my toys! Nothing worse than waiting linger than necessary. I try to get everything out the day it's paid (unless there is record weather issues like last week) ans always use priority 2-3 days shipping.

Glad your happy with the charger. I actually have three of them in play now; those things are pretty sharp. I think it was a good find :)
[G Tablet Accessories] Conk:
i CANT WAIT to get my hands on one of these :D it will complete my tablet in my mind :)
[G Tablet Accessories] danny727:

Need post so I can see the dock in market
[G Tablet Accessories] kashmir581:
Crap! So did I. ;) Oh well, at least I found it2steve's web-site. THAT made it worthwhile! Now to see if MerriMobiles gets their "ship" straightened out. If they don't have my dock in my hands by Friday, it's refund time and hi-ho, hi-ho it's off to it2steve I go.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
OP updated, docks back in stock tomorrow!
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I helped initiate the same type of rule when I helped moderate at Linux Forums. I can't say why XDA is implementing it in this fashion, but at Linux Forums it significantly reduced the amount of spam posting. Linux Forums put the post count at 10, but it only limited the posting of links made before reaching the post count.

I suspect XDA is using it for the same reasons. I can guarantee that it is neither useless or silly. But it is needed as a tool for forum moderators to keep the forum in an orderly and tidy state.

I will also say, that at Linux Forums, posts made to circumvent the post count were treated just like the spam that it was meant to prevent. That meant we would ban any members spamming the forum. I don't know that XDA is doing this, but why take that chance?

Edit: To clarify, I AM NOT AN XDA-FORUMS MODERATOR. This post is just my opinion based on moderating a different forum.

[G Tablet Accessories] ByByIpad:
Just ordered 1 dock. My experience is that the DC in Jack will eventually loosen and go bad. Having a dock provides an alternate way to recharge and is less apt to break.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Congratulation on the webstore it2stever, very nice :)
[G Tablet Accessories] jakehale:
I'm thinking about getting one of these docks. I have read through this whole thread and never got a clear answer on:

does the Lan work with Tnt 4.2.4?

does the out put on a tv look "good". movies, not so much the system itself

Thanks. want to hit the "store" before all these are gone.

Jake
[G Tablet Accessories] rscheuren:
I have been reading lots of posts. A couple of questions for the dock. Does it work with a non-rooted G tab. Im a newbie and havent had a chance to mess with the tablet much yet. Hope to figure out what rom to use. Leaning toward TnT.
[G Tablet Accessories] Tlife:
I need to post as well and i would like a dock for my G-Tablet

[G Tablet Accessories] bmasephol:
Received my dock, thanks Steve
[G Tablet Accessories] poserina:
it2Steve, received my dock and iGo charger yesterday. I didn't expect to see it until Monday but was happily surprised. Both work great. Can't wait for the portfolio with Bluetooth keyboard! Thanks again.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Wow! Thanks for the great words, I'm glad that everyone is getting their stuff quickly. You guys have been a pleasure to deal with and it's been interesting trying to keep up with your orders. Again, my inventory is almost wiped out. Needless to say AS SOON as I get tracking numbers on more 'stuff' I'll post it on the 'estimated in stock' part for each item. Please make sure you've subscribed to the newsletter portion of you account as that's how I let you know ahead of time and get you the code for the xda price reduction.

Again, thanks... This has been a wild ride all starting with just 20 docks :)

Just wanted to thank it2Steve for the quick processing and shipping of my docks and charger.

Ordered on Thursday and got it on Saturday morning.

Kudos!
[G Tablet Accessories] poopymt3g:
thanks for the fast shipping on my dock...ordered friday got it on monday! awesome to deal with.
[G Tablet Accessories] bmasephol:
Not to send this thread off course but which ROM works best with the dock. I flashed to VEGAn yesterday and booted up on the dock and had ethernet working but once the tablet went to sleep and I resumed it, it didn't seem like ethernet was working...

Is that expected or do I have a problem. Does any other ROM have better dock support?
[G Tablet Accessories] dlandaker:
Hi, I am interested in the HDMI dock. How much is it?
[G Tablet Accessories] ZephyrsDream:
Just want to give huge thanks to Steve because I received my M1 case today, and it looks and feels fabulous. This is exactly what I was looking for in a case. Something that the tablet can stay in and also be converted into a stand. Awesome!! :D:D:D
[G Tablet Accessories] poserina:
I'm using Stock TnT with the enhancement pack and the dock works fine. I haven't tried the ethernet port since my WiFi is pretty fast.
[G Tablet Accessories] WillieBH:
Dock works great. Delivery super fast. Thx it2steve

p3's on the site but going quickly! More stuff already on the way :)
[G Tablet Accessories] fergalmacdermott:
Same problem with getting to market place
[G Tablet Accessories] fergalmacdermott:
it2steve would you ship these to the uk. I bought my gtab after much searching from ebay USA. Very pleased with it but interested in getting a dock. Thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I prefer not so deal with the international shipping due to customs paperwork and such, but I'll definitely help out where/if I can. Feel free to email me an address and I'll see what UPS or USPS would charge. Last few times I checked it was rather high?
[G Tablet Accessories] simon-edwards:
I'm also based in the UK and found that it was considerably cheaper to join dhgate myself, seek out the few single item case & doc venders and wait patiently for them to arrive.

Finally got it to work by turning off the wiFi, rebooting after connecting ethernet wire

Thank you!

it2steve, I also couldn't get into your store. You definitely shouldn't have it there, I think there are lots of us who haven't made 10 posts yet but want to visit your store.

I suppose it won't take too long to post a couple of random, semi-meaningless posts (like this one) in various threads to get to 10, but still....

Bought the P4 - ok with mods

Just bought and received the P4. Looks good (and real leather - PU will just not cut it; PU cannot handle continuous flexing without breaking), however, had to cut out additional leather to get to the 4 soft keys.

Overall, does not look like a cheap plastic case.
