Oh I've had this glitch before! Except In my case I was afraid the battery was broken so after about 15 hours or so of it showing 100%, I rebooted it and it showed me the accurate value.

Perhaps I should not have rebooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zub7:
ahh i see, perhaps 3 days was a bit exaggerated, it is showing "2d 13h 42m 23s since unplugged" but still 100%!!!

lol yh perhaps you should've waited and seen what happened.

at this point im just waiting for it to die out, wonder how long it'll take?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Happened to me once, was gone after a reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zub7:
hehe probably should'nt have rebooted, should've seen how long it would last.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zub7:
speak of the devil! it just switched off!

and right after i took a pic of the battery status screen aswell!

oh well, it was fun while it lasted, although something to note; battery seem to last about twice as long before it died out.

Just a week ago I flashed my first Rom, masters Axura 2.1 and I love it, and now I am beginning to wonder what else is out there so I started looking into Nero Beta 3, and Onyx and several other roms. So just wanted to know if someone could please post there Rom of choice and why, thank you in advance for imput

mods....please move to general
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehrammajid:
eugenes ginger clone final imo is the BEST!!!...it is super fast and smooth and looks reallly nice....battery life is alright...ive been off for 7 hours, watched about 30 minutes of youtube...10 minutes of calls...browsing xda for about an hour, and watched a movie (despicable me in 720p) and I am still at 58%....

before I installed this, I did a full system wipe by flashing eugenes unbrickable froyo, then flashing stock jfd, and then flashing the ginger clone rom...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
I am using Axura 2.1 as well but w/ the Black Froyo theme / mod and new Market. Haven't seen anything newer that is worth switching to myself. I apologize to anyone who thinks that sounds crazy. ;)

Were you at 100% before you began all your activities?

Wow. Major overkill. Whatever works, though. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken:
+1 on Eugenes Ginger Clone. So far the best rom I have used. Have not had a crash yet. Nero b3 crashed in market many times downloading apps and had random lags.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehrammajid:
yep, 100% took it off the charger this morning..

and yeah lol...I just had a feeling I needed a COMPLETE wipe because whatever rom I flashed had bugs even if I odined back to stock before flashing...now however, everything is good as new:)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsegura77:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
To others wondering the same, right now there are 3-4 roms most people WILL recommend:

Axura, Macnut, Nero*beta*,Ginger Clone.

I've tried all of them,

If you want good looks, and really good battery life, personally, i got more with Axura and Nero.

If you want just good looks and performance, all of them are good for that.

Try them all out see how it goes.
[Focus General] jeffgeno:
Does anyone know if you can use headphones made for the iPhone with a Focus? The headphones that come with it are actually decent, but I'd like to upgrade and every set of headphones with an inline mic are made for iPhones. All I really need working is the microphone and volume control; the extra pause button isn't a big deal.
[Focus General] liquidiq:
I just tried a Apple volume-enabled set of headphones and the play/pause/call button worked but not the volume control.

The mic and headphones work great though.

The headphones that come with the Focus have volume control on them, so maybe other non-Apple branded headphones would work with volume control.
[Focus General] jeffgeno:
Thanks for checking that. I guess it's not so bad to have the volume not working since the buttons on the device work with the screen off.
[Focus General] geological1:
I picked up some cheap iFrogz Luxe and the work fine.

No volume control but the mic and pause worked OK.

Is it possible to restrict the phone numbers the phone can call?

I want to restrict calling to certain list of approved phone numbers. Is this possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keinengel:
Should be possible with any phone and carrier, as long as you know your sim's PIN2 code. You should be able to enable it in Settings > Call > Fixed Dialing Numbers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swags:
Good luck finding your SIM PIN 2 though. The default for T-Mobile is supposedly 5678, but I have found that it is hit or miss whether T-Mobile SIMs actually have the default values.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keinengel:
I can't speak for US users, but in Romania every SIM comes with its own set of PIN, PIN2, PUK, PUK2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habskilla:
So I'm SOL with a Bell Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keinengel:
If you can't find the PIN2 on the SIM card (the large, credit card-sized one), call Bell and they should be able to provide you with one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Maybe I'm just missing it, but on the European ROM I can't see anything under Call->Settings for fixed dialling numbers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.Flat:
Nothing on the stock bell rom either

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Thanks. That's odd though, because I'm on that same ROM version and I don't see those options. I can only guess that it must be carrier/SIMcard-specific ?

[G Tablet General] evilive69:
I got the one that was in Landover, MD yesterday. I can see why it was returned, the screen did not function at all. Popped in a microSD card, created an empty calibration.ini file, rebooted and the screen came back to life. 20 minutes later it was running the VEGAN rom...SWEEEEEEET.
[G Tablet General] marti766:
i keep getting screwed over by the idiots at sears. I've purchased 3, and each time they say they can't find the thing, and my order gets cancelled. Then it takes them 2 days to find out that they are actually sending it back to the vendor, even tohugh I know they are not broken, the software just sucks.

[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Sorry guys, the one in FL is gone. I just tried to IM my FL friend to buy it, he was not fast enough... this thing is selling fast if the price is under $300 buck...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I keep hoping to snag a 2nd device like that, on the cheap.

I wouldn't bet on that. The hardware inside is not cheap, except the screen of course. Once it dips below $300 the profit margin is probably very slim.
[G Tablet General] evilive69:
Forget to mention that U.S. adapter plug for the charging adapter is missing. I called gTab support and they stock ZERO parts for it. The guy told that it's so new that they don't have any parts. His recommendation was to try and get Sears to give me a new one...fat chance of that happening but I will try tomorrow. I might stop by Radio Shack and see if they have one that works.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Radio Shack might have an adapter you can use, but it will probably set you back at least $20 (for the actual power adapter, plus the adapter add-on for the device). I had to do this for a portable DVD player, some years back.

But, I would also go back to SEARS and complain. Refurbished means all the main items are there, and the power adapter is basically a REQUIREMENT. You can't charge this thing over USB. They should at least cover the cost of the Radio Shack adapter.
[G Tablet General] evilive69:
I would definitely like to get the cost of a new adapter back. I will post an update tonight or tomorrow after I get back from Sears.
[G Tablet General] Zargon335:
Not according to the fine print on the Sears Outlet website:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I would still complain, it's what I do best. That fine print applies to things that do not impact the primary use of the device, imo. So for example, if the USB cable was missing I could swallow that because it's so easy to replace that. But not having a functioning charger coupled with the fact that its proprietary is a serious issue.

It's like buying a used gas lawn mower that's missing the gas tank. That's not a "part" or accessory, it's part of the device itself that you can't easily replace on your own. But, a missing air filter is an "accessory" since it's easily replaceable. And if you paid 279 for it, its too much and they should further discount it because we know that other 279 dollar items had that crucial part.
[G Tablet General] Zargon335:
I agree and I would complain too. I'm still trying to find one in the Phoenix area, and now I know to check and see what accessories are in the box.
[G Tablet General] gogorman:
Ha - so you are the one!

I had this IN my online shopping cart yesterday but then had to teach a class (I'm a Middle School teacher in VA) and when I went back an hour later to purchase it, it was gone. Nnnnnoooooooo!

I actually wondered if the person who bought it would be a member of this site.

How is it working out for you? Did you get that charger issue sorted? I'm really hoping that store or another in the DC Metro Area gets one......and this time I'm pulling the trigger straight away......unless you beat me to it AGAIN ;)
[G Tablet General] i2ichal2d:
they're no longer 30% off or is it just me? i just checked and their now $319 instead of $279. might as well pony up bit more and get it new! :thumbsdown:
[G Tablet General] Zargon335:
Earlier today there were two for $279 and one for $319.
[G Tablet General] J_Bone:
Just returned one to Sears in Concord, NC. There is also an Outlet store in Concord as well if anyone is close and wants to keep an eye out.

I returned mine for the Galaxy Tab. For me personally, I couldn't get past the screen issues, responsiveness and angles. I do really appreciate everyone that is working on this device. The software changes were fairly simple and made a night and day difference in how the device performed. If I can get one later for ~$200 I may grab one but for right now it is worth the extra $120 for how me and the family will use the tab.

gtab's power adapter

The connector seems pretty standard to me, so if you start looking around for a knock-off power supply, be sure it is a 12V 2A, center-positive supply. I'll measure the connector pin tonight and post its dimensions so that you have something to compare.
[G Tablet General] evilive69:
I found a power supply at Radio Shack last night. Cost me $27 but it works, and Sears said that they would reimburse me the cost.
[G Tablet General] evilive69:
Even though the Sears website states this there is a checklist that Sears puts on the box that states whether it is used, missing parts, broken...etc. Mine was listed as used and the "missing parts" checkbox was not checked. The guy at Sears said to bring in my reciept and he will refund me the cost of a power supply.
[G Tablet General] evilive69:
I got the power supply and after an issue with clockworkmod that required flashing to stock I am off and running again. The thing performs great, I have no complaints whatsoever, well worth the money.
[G Tablet General] markgolly:
Sweet!

So I guess I don't need to measure the power pin, right?
[G Tablet General] gogorman:
I'm glad it is working. I have a Sears Oulet.com addition now - checking every day at 9am with hopes to see one in a store near by. Thus far, no joy.

I have my fingers crossed that a LOT of people get these as gifts for Christmas and return them once they play with the horrendous UI. They can't ALL be buying them to mod them, right???
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
For those looking for a replacement or spare power supply, there is a thread on that subject:

I have not tried this one, as I still have my original power supply.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
there are many g-tablets available in many outlets. I just saw at least 5-6 available. I guess that after the holiday season, people start returning gifts. I may return mine and to get one from outlet. :D
[G Tablet General] toddmp:
I picked one up in Richmond, CA earlier this week. I arrived and they couldnt find the used one so gave me a new one for the same price. Tablet did indeed appear brand new however clockwork was already installed.

Immediately wiped it and installed a new rom though. works fantastic.

Thought I'd remind folks that Sears has a pricematch policy +1%.

I bought my GTab Christmas eve - Office Depot was selling the Gtab for 269.

I printed the page and took it to Sears - Gave me the price plus an additional 1%
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
just checked.. There are 6- 7 gtablets in the Sears outlets. Man, When will it stop? It is just Sears, how's about the returned item for staples, office depots, etc. I guess that it is not just the software issue anymore, it is probably the screen, and more Tegra2 tablets coming...

Maybe, Viewsonic should produce a 10.1 inch IPS screen and give it to us free to keep us happy! :D

These babies are moving fast!

At this time (4:35pm CDT) there is only one left, in Piqua, Ohio. I sure wish someone would return one in the Milwaukee area. I want to try putting Ubuntu/MeeGo Linux on it. I don't want to disturb the one I already have. It works great!

Wow, you are right. There were 6 this morning, 2 in MA, 2 in NY, 1 in OH and 1 in SC.

I've been wanting to pick up another one. This price is very tempting but they don't ship; only in store pickup. :(
[G Tablet General] kylelipp:
The buy instore is really dependent on the store and the customer service people.

SearsOutlet.com had one about two weeks ago, I called the store to ask if they could ship it. The answer may vary but here's what you should do:

1. tell the automated answering machine, "Electronics" and "Store" or "Floor" (can't remember) , the Call center people you usually get can't help you and will just direct you to the Sales staff on hand. You need to talk to someone physically in the store. So listen for the option to talk to a rep on the floor.

2. Make sure they actually have the unit on hand.

3. Ask about shipping it.

a. The manager I talked to in Buffalo, NY(Scott Nash) Said that Sears will ship it for you.

4. You pay for it on the searsoutlet.com site and then give the confirmation number in the store, and I guess they'll arranged for a UPS Pickup.

I got it about 4 days later. If the people in the store give you trouble complain to @sears on twitter. Maybe they can help. They acknowledged me when I thanked Scott and Roland the guys who helped me.

Good Luck.

PS: Seems like you have better luck seeing them on the outlet site between 8 and 10 am, either they sell like hotcakes or its a bug. But I would see em in the morning and then not see the tablet in the evening. just go to searsoutlet.com and search for viewsonic that way you'll see the case too if you want it. you shouldn't get much else. click the one you want. if it says they don't have it in your area click view all available and click on the store info. the phone # will be there if you need to call them.
[G Tablet General] Gajun:
is it normal for sears outlet to ship it without any charger/usb/documentation/anything except the unit? Or do I have the rights to complain? Oh and it is stuck on logo screen, does anyone know what I can do?
[G Tablet General] Captian1310:
Do they have the dock as well?
[G Tablet General] tabback:
These instructions worked! I had a trip lined up near an outlet that had availability. I bought a Gtab thinking I could pickup the following couple of days. My meetings got cancelled due to weather. I called and explained and the local floor sales people were great. They had to talk to the manager and call me back, but a couple hours later they confirmed shipment. Shipped for free (paid local sales tax). Got it 3 days later. The online outlet help desk can't facilitate anything. You have to call the local store. I am sure it is a YMMV, but worth a shot.
[G Tablet General] j0emv:
Just as a heads up, I just returned my G-Tablet today to the Sears at Washington/State in downtown Chicago. The lady quickly put a clearance tag on it so I'm not sure if it will show up in the outlet database soon or what.

I returned it because I'm not overly impressed with Android and looking forward to WebOS offerings. I'm an IT pro but I find Android unrefined or immature in many ways and more of a toy for someone to tinker with. Hopefully someone else grabs it soon!
[G Tablet General] raghu_mp:
Thanks for the instructions. It seems to work me as well. The store i called after placing the order said they would ship it. Did you get a confirmation email or a tracking number for the shipment? The online order status still shows ready for pick up. So just wanted to check.

Also some of them on outlet sell for $199..Is there a difference between this and the $279 ones?
[G Tablet General] Dave615:
Looks like there are quite a few in the Outlet store today. Past few days there have only been a couple listed. Now there are 5 showing up. One in High Point, NC is showing as $199. I'd call the store on that one as it may be a scratch and dent or something.

I agree with him, Android is a toy OS, compared to it's big brother Linux. I only use Android because Linux isn't properly ported to ARM tablets (yet). As soon as it is: Goodbye Android!

One BIG thing missing is printer support. I can't believe people aren't screaming about this.

I will say one thing. Up to now, Android was developed for small phones. It isn't a proper OS for a 10" tablet. I sure hope Honeycomb corrects the shortcomings, as it is suppose to be for tablets.
[G Tablet General] MasterN02:
Just ordered a "New In Box" GTab from the SearsOutlet for $279 + Tax! Unfortunately, they are not able to ship it (even after talking to a manager). However, I saved another $50+ and I only have to drive an hour to get it! I can live with that! :cool:
[G Tablet General] Dave615:
I was hoping to snag one up too on the Outlet, but no luck with any showing up in CO or NM. I even went into the local Sears and asked if they had any returns that they could sell. They said they send them back to Viewsonic for full credit. So I ended up getting one on the J&R deal through Amazon for $369. Glad you were able to get one so close to your hometown!
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I keep checking because i want one to try and install Linux on it. Unlike most, my g-tablet NEVER had any problems. I am still running the original TapnTap (rooted and updated). As crippled an OS as Android is, I don't want to mess with this one, 'cause it works!

There is one at Mt Vernon IL. I though that may be close to my Wisconsin home (GO PACKERS!). But it is too far away.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I just checked J&R/Amazon and the listed price is $389.99. How did you get a lower price?

There's a 'reconditioned' g-tablet in High Point, NC for $199.93. Nowhere near me unfortunately!
[G Tablet General] Dave615:
It was a 1-day sale I just happened to come across. I found it before dealnews.com, Woot and similar sites posted it. I figured I was saving about $50 not having to pay taxes and $20 off current price.

Finally got my $279 viewsonic tablet. I have been watching every day, and it hasn't come withing 2 miles of me. Then, it hits a store 25 min away, but it isn't an outlet but a regular Sears.
