[G Tablet General] SmittyRN:
I picked up a Verizon MiFi Hotspot today... figured that it was a good investment, that way I can use it for my laptop, GTab, and anything else I find myself in need of connecting. It will connect up to 5 devices at a time. I looked at the Sprint and Virgin Mobile models too.

The Sprint model actually has 4G and GPS capability, and the plan looked good on paper; the same price as the Verizon for 5GB ($60/month), plus unlimited 4G downloading. However, when I looked at the coverage map, Sprint doesn't have anywhere near the coverage area that Verizon does, and there are only a handfull of 4G towers out there.

Then I looked at Virgin Mobile. Seemed like a great deal; they use the same hotspot device that Verizon does (and Sprint used to), and you don't have to commit to a contract. You buy the device for something like $160, and for $40/month you get unlimited 3G downloading through the Sprint network. I headed out today to get one, only to find out that as of next week, Virgin will be capping monthly downloads to 5GB like the rest of them. After 5GB, data will slow to a crawl.

Then I found out that Verizon is offering new data plan options for a limited time, starting this weekend I think. There are monthly plans for 1GB ($20) , 3GB ($35), 5GB ($50), and 10GB ($80). For every GB you go over your plan, you pay an extra $10. The hotspot is free with a 2-year plan, or $70 with a 1-year plan. I went with a 3GB plan, even it I get up to 5GB one month that's still gonna run me less than the Sprint plan.

So I brought one home, had it set up pretty quick (it took longer to run the updates than to set it up), and it works great. The hotspot is smaller than I thought it would be, even after looking at the pictures. About as wide as a business card, a little taller, and a bit over 1/4" thick. Best thing is, I'll be able to use it with any tablet I get my hands on as long as it has WiFi, plus my laptop and even my iPhone if find myself in the boondocks again where AT&T doesn't reach.

MiFi is the way to go with a GTab; just turn it on, put it back in your pocket or bag, and surf away.
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
I'm surprised more people don't just tether their G-Tabs from their cell phone data plans. I've got a Verizon Eris (about a year old) and it's modded, with wireless tether. I pay $30 a month for unlimited data (on the phone, of course, but they don't know I'm tethering, nor do they probably care since I don't actually download much data).

It's fast and cheap. ;)
[G Tablet General] steve1040:
I use Wireless hotspot on my Rooted Sprint Evo
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Just a comment....

Most of us don't take the wireless mifis, etc. serious because of the limits.

My tablets, laptops and computers -- yes, I have a bunch -- usually result in my downloading a month's worth of wireless limits in a night. I have several programs that the updates run in the GBs just for one program.

I'm happy for people that can use them, but I always warn them to watch the usage and avoid the overages.

Good luck!!!

Cradlepoint

I am using my Virgin Mobile USB (Walmart special) plugged into the Cradlepoint. Lasts about 2 hours and warms the pocket...

[G Tablet General] TheJesus:
You and many other people say that. I personally don't want to kill my phone's battery and its just more work to turn the hotspot on and off every time I want access on the tab. Its surely cheaper, but not faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeoMil:
Hi,

I know there are a few Cyanogenmod based HD2 ROMs, but was wondering if there are plans for a (clean) port of the new stable release?

Or what is the 'cleanest' CM 6.1 release to date?

I'm using MDJ HD desire build and it's solid, but I prefer Cyanogen to Sense...

Peace out brosephs...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadiku:
I'm waiting for HD2ONE, shouldn't be long for 6.1 stable to be released.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeoMil:
sweet, cheers.

trying the current build. seems pretty sweet. way faster than Sense build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Why stable?

Nightlies are just as good, the very few ones that contain bugs are just ignored by the HD2 chefs anyway.

HD2ONE is good now as it is too (i.e. nightly build, unless I'm very mistaken here), and I like JDMS (based on Ultimate Droid, which is based on Cyanogenmod) too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeoMil:
I wondered if there was a build that is based on the CM 6.1 final version as that is now out, (not the RC versions).
[HTC Aria General] rushwal:
I bought an HTC Aria off ebay and it arrived last week. After getting it charged, I put my sim in, and was getting no signal. After playing with it for a while, I recalled that there were some quirky things having to do with the battery cover having to be installed correctly for the antenna to work. I talked with a friend who has an Aria and yes, there are two metal tabs inside the battery cover that make contact for the antenna. I tried my Aria with the battery cover from my friend's phone with the metal tabs and it works fine. The Aria that I bought off ebay doesn't have these tabs (but it doesn't look like anything was removed), and yet the seller claims (that her son told her) the phone worked fine when she sold it to me. So, I'm wondering, if there are two different Aria's out there in the wild one where the antenna is attached to the battery cover, and one where they fixed the hardware so its not needed and I got a mismatch of two phones and battery covers, and because of that does not work.

Has anyone else had this problem and had/or any luck making a replacement set of antennas? I tried a couple of pieces of wire, but it seemed to not make much of a difference. There is an OEM Aria battery cover for sale on ebay, that I probably will get provided the seller will ever answer my questions.
[HTC Aria General] ckuke4:
I would say to just get a new cover, should not be much. If your phone is an AT&T phone it should have the metal tabs, if it's from somewhere else then maybe it's possible there is a different cover but I doubt it. If I were selling my Aria on e-bay I would surely make sure it works before sending it out, but that's just me. Cheers.
[HTC Aria General] rushwal:
There are battery covers available on ebay, and that's probably where I'll end up getting one, one seller had them for @$15.
[HTC Aria General] winsettr:
I too purchased my Aria on eBay, and in my search I noticed that this (Arias sold without the OEM antenna-in-battery-cover) is not an uncommon problem, especially for devices that are being sold at a lower price. The phone is designed such that you will get minimal/no signal without the OEM battery cover, which does contain the phone's antennas. Apparently your hardware works just fine, and the battery cover that you were provided with is clearly not OEM.

It looks like there are OEM battery covers for the Aria on eBay, but I would require the seller to provide you with a picture of the inside of the cover, showing the metal contacts of the antenna, before you commit to purchasing. I would probably also contact the seller of the Aria and request reimbursement for the cost of a new battery cover, since the phone is virtually useless in its current state.
[HTC Aria General] rushwal:
I already have. Hope to have a fully functional Aria soon.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
If the lady doesn't want to reimburse you for the price of the OEM battery cover, I'd file a complaint with Paypal. You can take a picture of your friend's battery cover next to yours and explain about the antenna leads. Chances are you will get your money back and you'll probably get to keep the Aria as well. Something's hinky about this lady and her claims that it worked just fine before. She or her son is lying.
[HTC Aria General] rushwal:
Already talked to her about it. Already took the picture. May go ahead and contact ebay come thursday just so they're in the loop.
[HTC Aria General] thiazzi:
You should definitely open an ebay case. You can just request enough money from the seller to get a new battery cover if you think they really didn't know about the defect when they sold it.
[HTC Aria General] rushwal:
Well, my Aria is working with the replacement back cover, and surprise, the seller hasn't responded to my email about the cost. I'd hate to ruin her perfect feedback...
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
I'm sure she means well, but some people just don't know how to handle screwing up, and get embarrassed, defensive and downright nasty. Try and be polite but don't let her take advantage of you. get your money's worth - and take it up with ebay.

I am however glad that you figured out the issue and have a fully functioning phone! enjoy it! I'm running Liberated FR008 with the overclocking kernal+SetCPU (@824MHz interactive), and I just couldn't be happier with the phone.

GPS locks on almost instant, and everything runs awesome. Also I've purchased several OEM battery covers that all work perfect, but am about to buy one of the colored ones off ebay - I'm hoping it comes with the antenna!
[Touch HD General] yellowperil:
Is there any apps that can run through rss feeds, news flashes , time and weather that is automated for my phone to run whilst its sat in a desktop docking station.

Ideally I am after a app that will show the weather feeds (animated), then any news flashes from rss feeds, and then show the time with a nice touchflo flip clock effect.

I had a look around but found nothing that would do anything like this, anyone able to help me out and find one.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] bp787:
Lately I have been randomly losing all service, both voice and data. I'm pretty sure that it occurs while moving through an area/building where there is no service, then returning to an area where there should be service. But I'm not 100% sure this is only condition in which it occurs.

The problem is that the service is not coming back automatically. I have to reboot the phone. I've waited for up to 2 hours with nothing.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm running stock, with rooting and sideloading enabled.
[Captivate General] MillionManMosh:
Cycling flight mode usually works and is way faster than a full reboot.
[Captivate General] bp787:
Does nothing for me. Forgot to mention that. Cycled many times last night with zero luck.

I basically become an Unregistered Device, if I remember one of the errors correctly.
[Captivate General] Yuna:
My even hang on setting to airplane mode - and must reboot to fix, and then disable airplane mode...
[Captivate General] bp787:
so there is nothing I can do to force the phone to re-register with the network?
[Captivate General] Yuna:
I have found not a way :(
[Captivate General] bp787:
seems like I might be taking a trip to ATT to do an exchange. Can't have this happening.
[Captivate General] Yuna:
You will be foolish to do so. It is not a hardware issue! I have it on another modem and rom. But happens only when I have my phone in areas without bad reception for a long time.
[Captivate General] bp787:
Mine happens during periods of brief connectivity.

That said, I stopped in at ATT just to see what they would say.

They suggested that my SIM card was going bad. I seriously doubt this had anything to do with it, but what the hell. The card I had was from my previous phone as I was too lazy to stop in and swap cards when I bought the phone.

New card, so far no loss of signal. Has only been 4 days though. After a few weeks, I'll know better if this worked or not.
[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
Hopefully this will help someone else. Use Titanium backup to backup your device. On 2 occasions, using the tablet and/or installing software, somehow, the system gets totally corrupted. The only way I have found to fix it is to wipe out all the data and reflash. If you have a backup copy (Titanium Backup), you can restore your tablet w/out having to start from scratch. Also many apps have the ability to save their config data to the SDCARD. I make use of these features to get my tablet reconfigured to my specs after flashing.

I'm not a long time Android users so I don't know if all android devices are susceptible to this type of low level corruption or if it's just the g tablet.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think it is mostly our tablet right now. My phone never just loses its mind and needs to be reflashed. Likely just because the Tegra is so new, the manufactures rushed to get something to market, and some bugs still need to be tweaked.

Titanium is a pretty neat app...
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Just the G Tablet. I've never seen this happen with my Nexus One in ordinary use, nor even in flashing ROMs for that matter.

On my G Tablet, I've had a few glitches with flashing via Clockwork Mod that forced me to wipe and start over, and a few glitches from just trying to shut down my tablet normally that required wiping user data. That hasn't happened since I've been running ZPad 2.2 though, i.e. for the last week or so now so perhaps the software is starting to stabilize a bit.

Android is great. The G Tablet has lots of potential. But you have to realize that we're basically the beta testers for Viewsonic and Malata (the OEM that actually manufactured this thing), who paid some $400 for the privilege. :)

Luckily the software has improved by leaps and bounds in the last month thanks to the hard work of the people here on the forums, and hopefully we can keep that momentum up.

It runs okay, got signal now, can send and receive texts.

Currently not working:
