Yes, I was very impressed by the Tab I had for a couple of weeks, excellent build quality, lightweight, battery life, flush screen, GPS, BT, etc...I thought the Dell Streak 7 would be better but alas not, the screen particularly is a disaster. The NC will only really be able to compete until/if it gets Bluetooth.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
I'd be all over the Dell Streak if:

1) battery life didn't suck

2) they didn't use such a low resolution and screen with bad viewing angles.

I use the pptp VPN with both my G1 and my Vibrant, and I've set it up for others at work in Droids and Evo's. No such love on the tablet.

Right now I'm having a hard time getting a viable error (or anything) from the tablet. It just seems to fail silently. Perhaps I'm using logcat wrong.

If anyone has gotten it working and knows the trick I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] prscott1:
There isn't a tun object compiled for the kernel. I compiled some using the tegra 10.8.2 source from the nvidia developers' site and pulled the /proc/config.gz from the pad to get the config (modified the CONFIG_TUN=m) and created a tun.ko but it wasn't compatible.

I tried a few different versions with different compilers and such but none worked. I noticed the strings for my new tun objects after I compiled them were showing up as ARMv7 whereas the pad shows ARMv7l. Also the pad shows 10.8.2-dirty (instead of 10.8.2).

So I ran out of ideas on how to get a working tun object without the kernel source.
[G Tablet General] gasch1:
I also tried the PPTP VPN (no encryption) the same way I set up my Droid. The error messages I find in the GTablet's syslog are:

Creating PPPoX socket

Socket() Address family not supported by protocol

Would love to hear a solution to this issue...
[G Tablet General] linuxrebel:
I was afraid that what I saw was true. Blocked until Viewsonic complies with the law.
[G Tablet General] gasch1:
This thread should probably be moved to the Android Development forum.

In any case, I was wondering if now with the release of the kernel some progress can be made on the VPN support? I really appreciate the assistance!

I want to root my galaxy tab but I don't feel comfortable doing that unless I can fully backup everything and be able to restore easily. Can you guys recommend something?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roufosso:
Titanium for backup.

Root using Z4Root..only one button to press and your tablet is rooted..

No Risk..it's ok
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigao:
titanium only backs up apps, app data and system data. It does not backup the firmware, radio, etc.

so if something is screwed up by rooting, or flashing a different firmware, it cannot do "full recover" if that is what you mean with it; it only recovers apps and system settings.

for a "full backup / restore" solution check this thread:

i agree with the post in regards to Z4Root, worked easily and flawlessly though

Maybe I'm retarded but how do I enter the code? I don't see a way to do it. My galaxy tab is sprint network enabled but not activated, wifi only.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnick666:
The code is entered on the dialer part of the contacts app... Commonly known as the dialer with buttons from 0 to 9 with the additional * and # characters... Surely you must have seen such a contraption on previous phones...

If you can't use the dialer then get a SIM card in it....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManaKill:
Yup, there is no dialer on this phone. Downloaded aDialer and it says cannot make or take calls on the galaxy tab. Wtf?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManaKill:

Thanks for recommending TB, luckily I backed up before I bricked my sprint galaxy tablet. Was able to flash with Odin using Zoinks Sprint SPH-P100 pit and tar. Got my tab to boot and easily restore all apps and user data.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
This really sounds stupid even to me. But how do I restore?

I installed Titanium a while back and now would like to reset to factory. Obviously there is a restore button in Titanium which I can use to restore individual apps but how do you batch restore.

The other even more stupic question is how do I restore if by resetting to factory Titanium is wiped as well? Do I now have to re-download titanium and expect it to find the backup data on the SD card which I hope will stay intact during factory reset or do I remove the card during factory restore and still expect the re-downloaded titanium to pickup the backed up data?

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfxram:
Hi mutant.,With my knowledge and experience over my gtab I can say that factory reset or wiping data would be only the Rom portion of your internal sd.so u can save your data in SD. Still to be much safer save it in external SD.once flashed again with new Rom. install titanium and restore all your data and apps.you can do batch restore with titanium pro.for double safety I backup everything on ext SD and also in CWM before flashing new Rom. Hope this helps.I'm also a learner for now..hence thought this would help you from learner prespective.dev's and exp's can correct me if I'm wrong..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Backup is stored on sd card in titanium backup folder (internal or external youcan choose that). Redownload titanium backup if wiped after rom installation and restore. Press menu button in titanium backup there is a batch option. TIP: Edit filters in titanium backup to show backed up applications only (or user apps) and then use the batch feature so u dont have to search through all apps.

What is the status of the Tegra 2 video decoding abilities right now?

I have been hearing about issues with high profile H264 video decode in 1080p. Does 720p H264 HP work?

Can someone test with the test cases and report back: http://imouto.my/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/

Under TEST VIDEO FILES

I read somewhere that it was ROM dependent as well?
[G Tablet General] HKChad:
I haven't gotten anything to work, video playback was a big reason for me buying this thing (I've since found other great uses for it though). I'd like to figure this out, I have a ton of 1080p h246 videos in mkv I'd convert if I just knew what to convert them to. I'd also run those test files for you but I can't download it b/c I'm not paying for a membership to some download site to get the files.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
h264 high profile does not work on the Tegra 2, but h264 main profile works. The high profile issue is a hardware limitation in the Tegra 2.

You can check your mkv's with a tool like "mediainfo" (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en). It will show you your video details.

As for mkv's themselves, I believe that the device has issues with that container, as opposed to MP4. I can get standard def MKV's to run fairly well in Rockplayer, but haven't delved too far with high def. If you are going to transcode, you're probably better off with an MP4 container.

I'd also suggest that, if you are going to transcode anyway, probably stick with h263 as that will give you the least amount of headaches. I don't know how easy it is to pick the profile in h264 - every app I've tried (so far) encodes in high profile. You might have some luck with something like ffmpeg.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Really? My ZT-180 can play Blu-ray rips to 720p, but not the 1080p rips. It is a lot less powerful than a tegra2.

As for the the quality of my rips, I used ffmpeg, and don't recall using any "high profile" setting. The 720p rips were around 1.8GB in size. Since I found very little info on how to use ffmpeg, I chronicled my experiences in this thread, so others have something to follow.:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1219959

The last post contains info on how to re-map the audio tracks. The ZT-180 had trouble with the 6-channel sound tracks I encoded into my rips. I don't know what audio the tegra2 can play.
[G Tablet General] xaueious:
With regards to the ZT180 (Infotmic X210), the DSP offloading methods are adopted from mass produced MP4 products, so I am not surprised if they play well on that device.

So basically the Tegra 2 doesn't even do 720p high profile confirmed?

Is the MKV container issue a software or hardware issue? The Tegra 2 SDK is getting updated continually. Or should I ask this question over at Nvidia's forums
[G Tablet General] shah_vm:
right now viewsonic tablet has problem playing high profile video. i guess rockplayer or vplayer are not yet optimized for tegra2.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
vplayer doesn't even work for me. everytime i browse to a file and try to play something, it just throws me right back out to the app.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3912/boxee-box-the-inside-story/2

The high profile issue is why Boxee dropped the Tegra 2.
[G Tablet General] xaueious:
I saw that before, but that only pertained to 1080p and not 720p
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I'm thinking that it's a driver problem as nVidia's still claiming 1080p as are all the other Tegra 2 based devices... e.g. LG phone, various tablets, etc.

I did turn up a reference to laggy 1080p video in the nVidia forums, but they seemed to think it was a poorly encoded video as they had one that played fine while a second was laggy. Noone from nVidia commented in that particular thread though...

Galaxy Tab + bluetooth headset works fine as a phone, and is my primary phone now. I'm also wondering whether a LiveView might enhance this experience (ability to see who's calling without pulling out the Tab).

[Galaxy Tab General] liaquila:
I've got my Galaxy Tab a week ago, and I have been using it as a phone since then with a bluetooth headset.

Being a woman has its advantages, I take the Galaxy Tab comfortably inside the bag and bluetooth headset attached to my clothing or bag strap. My husband adapted a car sunglasses clip to carry the headset in it.

What is not well solved yet is how to make calls from the headset without having to take the tablet off the bag when I'm on the street. I live in a city with high rates of violence and assaults and would not be a good idea to pull the tablet to call someone.

I'm using the headset that came with the Galaxy Tab kit here in Brazil. It pairs without problems and he has the ability to dial the last number called. The problem is when I want call a number other than the last. Perhaps there is some bluetooth headset that can store contact list on it ...

Other than that I'm very happy using my tablet as a phone and don't think looking back to my hd2 "desire" !
[Galaxy Tab General] funtoosh:
Sony liveview should solve your problem :)

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab General] liaquila:
For what I understand from Sony Liveview, I can't start a call from it, can I? I'm just able to see who is calling, but I don't realy care about it. What I need is some kind of contacts agenda to choose someone to call without taking the Galaxy Tab out of my purse.

Did I miss something about Sony Liveview? It would be wonderful if it solves my problem...

:o
[Galaxy Tab General] funtoosh:
I'm not sure, but i think it lets you see the contacts so it should even allow you to call, just check their docs on their site
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
If it doesn't have a pocket that fits the TAB I don't buy it or wear it anymore. Gave me an excuse to change up my wardrobe a bit.
