[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think it is kind of the same thing as having Android on a tablet right now at all. The mfgr's are in a hurry to put out a product. Google has said that Android 2.2 is not made for tablets but mfgr's did it anyway. Adobe hasn't released an official Flash yet but the mfgr's want to be able to advertise there stuff as being Flash ready.

I can understand Adobes position because even though we can do Flash right now it is definitely not perfect. Not like on your PC. I hope they do come out with a version that actually works as well as the PC version. Until then, I am OK with what we have, and I am sure the Advent owners will be too...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
"the plugin had not passed Adobe’s certification".

Now, what does that mean, exactly? Assuming this is the same gles version we've all been running, and if it's the same one that VS is about to release on the 19th does that mean they have to kill that update? I hope not.
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
I've never been very satisfied with the flash we are running. If someone is up to tinkering, would you go to cbs.com and try playing one of the David Letterman episodes and tell me if it stops and starts for you? I sometimes get the "!" error message as well, which I suspect means Flash just blew up memory. I've tried DolphinHD and the browsers in Tnt Lite and VEGAn. They all act about the same. I've run speedtest from the g tablet and I get ~1.48Mbit download speed over my wireless...which should be enough IMO. Was there anything about that stagefright setting that you think I should change?

I found an Asus A730 in good condition in my town on Craigslist for $50, and I'm considering buying it, i've always wanted a WM device to toy around with, and my fiance won't let me touch her Touch Pro 2. Any thoughts on this device? Seems like there aren't too many around, and from what i've heard, you're stuck with Windows Mobile 2003, and can't upgrade. Does anyone have any experience with this device and can give me some insight? Thanks!

The Game is a cool idea but I think stripping down the graphics to almost stick figure like would increase performance ten fold.
[Android Apps and Games] boborone:
A couple things. Physics is wonkey, I crashed by hitting the top of the screen. After I excited the game the sound of the motor was still coming through my speaker. Uninstall and it was still playing. A reboot was needed to get it to stop. And I think it's against forum rules to advertise goods and services for a fee unless it is either in the xda market or you give forum members a discount.

[Android Apps and Games] M3PH:
Looks a hell of a lot like a game i play on my linux boxes called Xmoto (so close i would have said this was based on a relatively early version of xmoto). If it is as similar as i think and hope it is it should be very addictive, challenging and entertaining. down side is, if it is a xmoto clone the pc version will kill it based on controls and framerate.

Fun game - finished the lite version but found alot of bugs:

You crash by hitting the sky

The game ran fast initially, after 20 or so deaths + a few level changes it ran slower and slower

After 20 or so deaths i had to push "retry" several times on the "Crashed" screen, it looked like there was 5 crashed screens (each time i pushed retry it got lighter)

I could exit the game by pushing menu - i had to restart my phone
[Android Apps and Games] myp3uk:
Thanks, Will be working on this.

[Droid X General] sheth1nks:
Hello, I have a rooted stock rom Droid X 2.2 which has no issues and I'm very pleased with. I don't see anything in the 2.2.1 update that makes me want to upgrade. But I am curious about one feature mentioned in the Verizon announcement under enhancements : What is the Data Widget on home panel? What is it used for? Thanks
[Droid X General] mistergreentree:
It's just a Verizon widget to show your total data usage for the month.
[Droid X General] sheth1nks:
Thanks mistergreentree.

I was curious if it was a widget with direct control to Data Manager/Data Delivery/Background Data. Not a big deal.

There's no app (rooted or unrooted) that can toggle Background Data directly. Only interface is stock Settings or my anycut widget which on my phone is a process with a slight delay.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Look at this article over on Gizmodo:

http://gizmodo.com/5713238/the-army-wants-to-give-smartphones-to-every-soldier

Soldiers are getting smartphones which include iPhone or Android phones. Maybe this could inspire Rovio to create another version of Angry Birds.:D But seriously though I think the devs should make a game (this game has been made on computer before) that users can play online against each other. Users can choose either to be pigs or birds, they can equip their characters by buying from the store. Where the money to buy all those equipment is when you get Exp from winning a battle or killing the birds in campaign mode.

Idk about choosing a pig would be a good idea since pigs are pretty heavy, they must have rockets shuffed into the back in order to fly like birds.

Mod, if you feel that this thread has nothing to do with anything. feel free to move it.
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:

[G Tablet General] trikkeuh:
Hi everybody,

i've been reading a lot about the gtablet the last couple of days, and i've got a general view of what the device is and what it is not. I'm comfortable with installing custom ROMs and apk and fiddeling with the system to get the device in a working state.

The only problem that i have is that i like to have such devices in my hands to play around with them before i would buy it. Since i'm from Belgium, it's nigh impossible to get my hands on one. So i'm asking anybody who already has a gtablet ( and got rid of the horrid stock software), what they think of the device in terms of lag / responsiveness and general use. Is it a good replacement for the couch-laptop? I've only played around with an iPad, how does it stack up against that in performance / use?

Also, does anybody have any info on the best ways to ship one from the USA, or a distributor in Europe? Amazon charges a big buck for shipping and taxes, it would take 400€ to get it here. Any info on good european deals would be eternally praised :)

Thanks for reading!
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
Unless you want to try eBay, I think the amazon deal is the best you're gonna get, I'm in Canada and had to order from Amazon as well since Viewsonic is not selling this outside of the US, you can try getting a Malata Zpad which is essentially the same thing, but from what Iv'e seen those are going for $599US. There are also a few more companies that are also releasing the same tablet under different names, you mgiht want to google that.
[G Tablet General] ima_UNC_fan:
The GTablet is definitely responsive. I was very surprised about how much faster it runs than my phone. I've played with the iPad and this is just as zippy...

As far as replacing the laptop...I would say no. We use the GTab for websurfing, games, ebooks, email, videos and streaming TV. If I need to type a lot, I head for the laptop and a real keyboard.

Overall, I'm VERY happy with the GTab. It's a GREAT device and I would def recommend getting one.

But i think that this is not the rom which was earlier on my desire at the time of shipping,because i was getting update for:RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India.

Can someone help me getting this clear.. is this ROM different from what i was having at the time of purchase???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumster:
You did not need to install that RUU Rom that u installed. Unrevoked ONLY provides root, it does not replace your ROM. You actually lost the original ROM now by installing this new ROM.

I'm afraid not much.

Over at shipped roms there is only an old RUU 2.1 (eclair).

It's the right one for you and if you managed to find the updates you'll be okay, you can also try searching for OTAs but I don't know if you have big chance for an OTA when you are right now in such an old version.

Maybe you can mail htc to ask them if they will provide you with a link for the froyo OTA for your software version, tell them you missed it...:rolleyes:

And you do not need a goldcard when you are flashing an Indian x.xx.720.x ROM because your original ROM was this type. You need it only when you are flashing update or a ROM that is not for your device.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
I was reading SlashGear's Nexus S Review and found something interesting.

http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-s-review-14119387/

Now they probably have a preproduction unit, but what are the chances of GPS behaving similarly to the GPS in the Galaxy S/Captivate/Vibrant (all have the same standalone GPS chip as the Nexus S -- BCM 4751). Doesn't appear as severe, but somewhat problematic (from the review) nonetheless.

I'm interested to see how the GPS performs while the Nexus S is in user's hands
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
big suprise, the GPS dosn't get a fix while moving. this is a common issue on tons of phones.

Me and my girlfriend were driving around once and it took my phone almost 40 minutes to get a GPS lock, CM5 on a Nexus One.

Yet later that same day, standing still, it worked in under a minute.

Every phone can have GPS issues for a massive amount of reasons.

The Galaxy S issue was a software issue where it worked under 5% of the time, even if you were standing still ontop of a building.

Other ones sometimes randomly have the issue while moving, this is usually because the phone has issues connecting to the satelite. You gotta remember the GPS chips in these phones are not that great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
my mytouch4g gets a gps lock while driving, a bit longer then standing still but id say still under a few minutes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
This is also how my dedicated TomTom and Garmin GPS work. Stand still, lock in less than a minute. On the move, I usually give up after 10-15 minutes and stop for a minute.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
Oh ok cool.:p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkoroje:
This is not correct TomTom devices do get a lock while moving and so does Nexus one and iphone 4. If this review is correct that means that Samsung has no fixed the GPS in Nexus S and that it may be suffering from the same problem as Galaxy S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
were not saying that they can't, it's that it CAN take longer. in some places you can be going 60MPH and get a lock within a minute, but in another place you can be walking at 5MPH and it'll take 20 minutes.

Sorry but our phones don't get priority on any gps satellite lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Yes, TomTom devices get a lock while moving. They get a lock much, much faster standing still, though.

For any GPS to work, it needs to download the complete almanac from at least 3 different satellites. The almanac is sent every 30 seconds, so the GPS must have an uninterrupted view of each satellite for at least 30 seconds, possibly up to 60 seconds.

A-GPS can get the almanac data faster, and TomTom has something called QuickGPSfix that pre-downloads almanac data a week in advance.

But what if you don't have A-GPS or QuickGPSfix, and the GPS hasn't been used in a week, so all the almanac data is outdated?

If you are moving so much around that the GPS antenna never sees any satellites uninterrupted for the necessary 30-60 seconds, then the GPS will never get a lock. Never.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbrella42:
There is no priority because there is no "connection". GPS receivers (sic!) don't send anything. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
lol true, was just trying to emphases the point that our phones aren't going to connect as fast as pure GPS devices.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Actually, with A-GPS the phones have an advantage to get first lock quicker. But the pure GPS devices have better antennas, so should give more accurate navigation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
I wander if they ever restarted the navigation app, because you know, sometimes restarting the app works. From my experience anyways.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
yeah thats when the A-GPS works. both mine and my dads phone's A-GPS has been just terrible. usually showing us 20+ miles away from where we actually are
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Are you sure that was actually GPS, and not location by cell tower or WiFi hotspot? A smartphone without GPS lock will try to find your location by other means.

All A-GPS does is to jumpstart the GPS, and when GPS has a lock, then the error should be way below 100 meters.
