gTablet has a Tegra - Staples has it

I started down the Android tablet road with the Viewsonic gTablet. While the specs are great, the device was not good.

Build quality and size are the 2 factors that helped me decide to buy and KEEP the NC. The gTablet was 10 inch and WAY to BIG. After trying to use it, i realized that I really wanted a smaller device. IT cured my desire for an iPad.

The NC is the perfect size, and has a very nice screen. plus, it is only 250.00. you can't beat it!

If you are still undecided, go to Staples, buy the ViewSonic gTablet, then come back to XDA to the gTab forum to root and fix it up. But I don't think you will be happy.

Oh, and when you read a post about a device, and it warns you about 'viewing angles' PLEASE take heed -- a tablet with horrible viewing angles is really useless... That is one of the main complaints about the gTablet...

Please let me know what you decide, and what you think about the gTablet. I am curious to know what others think.

When I was going to return my nook over a screen issue (they passed it off as poor QC =\, but I accepted it and moved on) I was playing with this tablet. Personally I am with you it is too big. However I found the screen to be crap... but thats just me

I was always in the 7 inch camp. I figured played games on a 10 inch touch screen only device would feel really akward. My elocity a7 is coming in the mail today..I can't touch it until christmas though. I'm hoping to see some user video and reviews of how people feel about it before I decide whether or not to send it back.

edit: xda user Jazzbone updated a video to youtube of the A7 in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6foXW1zizM thoughts on the multitouch?
[Nook Color General] dreadlord369:
The weird pinch zoom is annoying but hopefully it works normally in dolphin. Hell I think I might return my Nook for this thing if it comes back in stock at BJ's.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
It's not just annoying, the device is not multitouch. Jazzbone tested it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9870589#post9870589

it only registers one point touch. That my friends, is what I call a deal breaker. (not withstanding I was directly lied to by the company regarding the multitouch nature of this device)

edit: And if that's not a deal breaker for you, I have one at my house that i'm planning on sending directly back to the retailer tomorrow.(unopened) If you'd rather have it, PM me and i'll send it to you instead.
[Nook Color General] dreadlord369:
Dammit.... There had to be one thing wrong with this tablet..... And yea I looked at the specs on the company's website and it said that it had a capacitive touch screen with 1 Point + Zoom-in/out Gesture...

Thanks for the heads up.
[Nook Color General] hashbrown:
Is this just a software issue or permanent hardware problem? And wasnt this a problem on the N1 before an update? There would have to be a catch. This might make games suck!
[Nook Color General] kitzuki:
does the nook color have true multi touch?
[Nook Color General] ricoishere2:
Yes the NC has a true multi-touch screen.

The default web browser does not support multi-touch, only double tap zoom in/out. All other apps do multi-touch well: the stock picture gallery, google maps, dolphin hd browser, angry birds, etc.

edit: The NC uses a Cypress Semiconductor TMA340 touchscreen control, same used on the HTC 7 Surround and HTC 7 Mozart.
[Nook Color General] hashbrown:
The Nexus 1 lacked multi-touch when 1st released. It took a software update to add it. I dont see this as big an issue w/ that in mind. 2 finger multi touch would make happy

Android Tablet Comparison Spreadsheet

Hello,

A month ago I was trying to decide between the Archos 101 and the Viewsonic G-Tablet. I finally decided to go with the G-Tablet and after a few days of tinkering with the ROMs I finally have a GREAT tablet! Sure, the viewing angles suck but that seems to be the only negative, and really isn't that bad for me (could be a big problem for others).

Anyway, while researching the tablets I came across this Google Spreadsheet that compares all of the released or upcoming Android Tablets.

I added the NC to the bottom but I don't know any of the specs. Would you guys mind updating a few of the details to help others out in the future? I will also add teh Elocity A7 and all specs I can find.

Thanks!

The spreadsheet can be found at goo.gl<SLASH>xM4Wn

I haven't posted enough to be able to include a link yet.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
Actually the viewing angle thing is not nearly as bad as I had first feared. Most of the time when in use I'm looking straight on it. My primary concern with elocity will be their level of support and commitment to the device versus what is sure to be at least adequate support from B&N.

Multi-touch: gTab is 2 point multi... which most devices are excepting a few newer 5 point newer phones. There's an app to check this.
[Nook Color General] h8rift:
We're still off-topic...but while we're in this ditch...

I owned a G tablet for 2 weeks. Loved it. Absolutely friggin loved it. Bought the USB keyboard + executive book style case and it was nice.....then the viewing angles started bothering me....and the fact that Viewsonic used to make good monitors and they put a netbook screen in the GTab...poorly. I think it was a sign. I took it back and bought a NookColor. Holy mother of god the screen on this thing is much better.

Dual core procs won't truly be leveraged for at least a few months. Assuming HoneyComb is released in Feb/Mar....based on the timetables of getting through manufacturer / carrier (in this case, just manufacturer) we won't see honeycomb on a non-google-branded device until next summer.

In the mean time, I will have easily gotten 250.00 worth of use out of my NC...and then I can either move to another tablet...or take advantage of what custom roms (I'm sure OC and Custom Roms will start popping up once CWM is available for the NC) make it a solid machine.

I dunno...its honestly a personal decision. There is not a right or wrong choice on this one. I just chose to go with the NC.

Thanks,

Elocity is moving to released an update on the 24th December. On their website downloads page (which was blank yesterday)it now reads:

"some initial technical issues, including the angry birds installation problem, have been corrected by elocity engineers. Facebook more updates should be available on this page by December 24,2010. Please check back soon to update your tablet."

This gives me hope that their is going to be a broad cleanup including multi touch. Theres only one issue bugging me w/ it. That's the cell standby hogging up system and battery. There is a sim card slot next to the microsd yet its not functioning. Its for later use. But the processes are running in the background.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
You will not be getting true multitouch..

Here is a quote from their marketing guy...

"To clarify the touch feature of the eLocity A7 for everyone. This is a capacitive touch screen with single point zoom out and zoom in gesture technology. It is not a multitouch screen. We are sorry for the touch screen confusion mentioned in the Amazon description and other articles as they were written early on in the product development stage. We will introduce multitouch screen technology in 2011. Our capacitve touch screen still outperforms most if not all of the tablets on the market. We use Grade "A" LCD panels from Tier 1 suppliers in our products and our goal with the A7 is to deliver the best performance, video and image quality and other functionality (i.e. NVIDIA Tegra 2, 1080P HDMI Output) that is superior to other tablets at similar price points. I know of no other tablets in our price range that offer true multi touch, which is fairly expensive for larger lcd screens at this time. Do your comparisons to the other tablets feature to feature and you will see that the eLocity tablet stills stands apart from the competition. "
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
Is there a 3g radio in this? if so and it is not enabled in software for say fcc rulings etc, this would be awesome because it means if we can hack a rom on it we can get it working. there is a slot for a simcard right?

So what kind of battery life are you seeing?
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I am trying to E-mail Compal as the ELocity is a rebranded compal naz10 tablet.

I suspect like the nexus 1 this is really a 2 point multitouch screen and the hardware is not enabled. I will not trust a hardware guy but would rather find out what the part is for the touchscreen controller.

This is the XDA if the hardware can do something the manufacturer does not enable, it is our Obligation to find a way to make it work!
[Nook Color General] dreadlord369:
You know what, I just returned the Nook Color (I was surprised that they refunded me for the screen protector pack even though I opened and used one of them). I mean while it was a great tablet, it just didn't do it for me, I need something faster. However I am going to miss the screen. I'm gonna go ahead with the Elocity a7 because of its speed and other features(I'm probably gonna use that HDMI port a lot to watch movies and anime). I guess I can live with the single touch as long as the pinch zoom feature works fine.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
It may be a long shot, but Australian company Pioneer Dreambooks is also sellling a rebadged Compal Naz-10 as the Epad N7 or something. They are also advertising it as "multitouch", so either they were fed the same BS as Stream TV, or their ROM has something the Elocity A7 doesn't. Maybe someone could shoot them an email and see if they'll provide a stock rom to try flashing the A7 to? I'm not keeping mine, so i'm not the one to test that theory but it may be worth a shot for someone else.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I actually did that yesterday. Waiting reply.

Full HDMI output and USB Host are strong pluses for me, but it's confirmed as not having a multitouch screen is a huge downer!

EDIT: Not to mention, so far not one dev has picked one up to hack nor it's own forum yet, says something..
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
Units may be similar, even re-badged, but they may also contain differences as simple as a different screen manufacturer or version..

I tried the elocity A7 and already returned it.

Pros:

Faster browsing

Tegra 2

Full Flash support out of the box

Market can be installed( through XDA)

Possibly future-proofed.

HDMI out

Bluetooth

camera

Cons:

No MKV 720p or high profile videos work.

Wi-fi issues

Battery sucks

Heavy

Screen is not as nice as the Nook Color.

Design is a bit lame

USB drive is host

NO multitouch (though Nook color is not multitouch either)

I chose the archos 70 over this and finally the nook color over the archos. Just depends on what your needs are.
[Nook Color General] wendellc:
IMHO, I don't feel there is any 7" tab that matches the NOOks screen. Probably have to wait till after CES, hopefully I'll have time to stop by on one of the days and see what is being offered shortly.

Nook Color FTW!

People are hating on the NC hardware but I've been astounded by how capable it is. I bought Dungeon Defenders: First Wave and it plays flawlessly on the NC. I wasn't expecting to be able to play the latest android games on a hacked ereader but it'll do it without hesitation. Add to that the beautiful IPS screen and an all day battery and I don't see what else you want (unless it's for a specific application like BT for wireless speakers/kb, camera or gps).

Also multitouch works great, I use it alot for reading pdfs or webpages.

A few apps don't work (swype want's a phoneID which the nook lacks, games without highres support, etc) but almost everything runs perfectly after the hack.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] losmorocks:
I apologize in advance to the people who have already answered this question a dozen times. I just purchased a new sd card and plan to run cm 6.1. Do I need to partition my sd card to install apps to sd? Does darktremor's apps2sd work with cm 6.1? Then, on a different note, I'm experiencing some lag. Should I flash a new kernel, and which would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
If you want to use native froyo apps2sd, then no, you don't need to partition the sd card since froyo a2sd only needs a fat partition. If you want to use darktremor's or any other a2sd method (which I THINK works with CM6), then yes, you need to partition your sd card to include an ext3 partition.

I personally use and recommend Firerat's FroYo a2sdext script, which works perfectly and installation couldn't be easier. Link can be found in my signature.

Uncapped kernel is a fast kernel for CM 6.1, and can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756774

I recommend CFS #43, choose whichever speed you want.

If you want CM 6.1, I recommend Jaybob's 6.1 builds, as they are better maintained than the official ones, and is always updated to include the latest version of the kernel I recommended (which is actually newer than CFS #43). Link is also in my signature.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raineverafter:
i'm using the stock rom, wipe data, format internal sd and reset to factory... it was working for a day or two and then it came back.

I though it was setting the LPP to default when I clicked "Use by default for this action"; Coz after removing the default launcher, the FC on start up seems to have disappeared until this morning...

my 3d app drawer has 5 columns, I'll go ahead and reset the default settings of LPP, but it sucks if one of its features might be causing the FC on start up.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iherbivore:
From my experience this has to do with apps on the sd card. When I go to settings >applications> manage applications and select the SD tab and move them all off the SD, it works fine until some of them find there way back to the SD. (I read this somewhere, don't know where)

I have considered trying this to stop apps from going to sd: (oops, I can't post link yet)

I decided I would just deal with the force close until someone gets things worked out with this issue.

How to Fix

FIX - Only Apps, not images installed to your External SD card is causing this. Launcher Pro does not support Apps on external SD, thats why only after scanning the external SD, it forces closed. Move all apps installed on external SD to internal SD & it will fix the problem. Did for me!

Please hit "Thanks" if this helped you!!!

Hi guys,

I'm just curious to know what happens if you revert your bootloader back to s-on after flashing a custom rom.

Will it put your current rom into a locked state like how things are when you purchased the device? i.e. Will the phone become nand locked with the custom rom data?

I think this would be useful if you wanted to lock your phone up for the purposes of using the new Theft Aware app.

Hi.

I'm having bit of a problems with my SGS in last couple days; i'll give you last example, but same thing is happening last couple days:

- yesterday I have fully charged my phone; I have disconnected it form charger before I went to sleep.

- today in morning (8h later), phone was turned off

- when I turn it on, I got message to connect it to charger, because battery was on 15% (from 100% to 15% in 8h on standby)

- because this thing was happening last couple days, I have made sure that I didn't leave any apps running in background, that will be able to drain battery that fast.

- I opened settings and take a look at battery statistics;

Cell standby was over 70%!!

When I click on it, it says "Time without signal 70%"

So basically, he has drained almost entire battery by searching for GSM signal. But I have full GSM signal all the time.

But what's the weirdest thing; now that I'm awake, phone will work normally all day; it will last on those 15% almost whole day on standby.

But when i'll go to sleep, ti will start to go crazy over night.

And it's no a problem that he drains almost entire battery over night (it is, but not biggest); problem is that he powers off, so I can miss some important calls in morning (this is my business phone).

A week ago I made factory reset and clean up my phone, because I had installed bunch of stuff there that I didn't need, and this was faster solution then unistalling one by one app.

I have then rooted my phone (it was rooted also before factory reset), and I have installed voodoo lag fix (before I had one click lag fix).

After that I setup my phone with just stuff I use, and it was working brilliantly till last couple days; only thing that I can remember that I have installed in last couple days was update for angry birds.

One user on Samsung galaxy forum suggested that I switch on flight mode, and than turn it off. Now I will see if this will help; apparently this resets GSM radio.

i want to change standard notification bar from my htc desire running sense froyo rom with mod battery percentage, animation icons for data, signal, etc.

EDIT: I don't extract the files within framework-res.zip, only the .zip itself so I can open it via WinRar and replace the files. It isn't probably even needed, you could probably replace the needed files when browsing the UOT file with winrar/whatever etc etc. Haven't tried. :o
