Maybe the OP should "read before posting". I've seen many threads like this, and its really up to the luck of the draw, if your unit happens to be inspected by Captain Flawless, he'll catch it, most likely they'll try to turn it on, see it doesn't boot into recovery and sent it through the refurbishing process. I've actually never seen or heard a story about someone having it come back to bite them in the ass other than anything physical like water damage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
in the OP you make it sound like a JIG is not an option.... may I ask why? THat would solve your issue.

That said, I dont think you have an issue.... send your phone in and quit worrying.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
True I sent one one in with fusion on it cause the screen had some bad pixels they never said anything about it I didn't even think of taking the rom off probably cause I dont care but I never heard anything about it and never got any additional charges not saying you won't but the chances are good that they don't look or care either its not like they have 1 guy on a room setting all these phones back to the way they were

[G Tablet General] DeGon:
It seems that these are all the same devices:

-Viewsonic G Tablet

-Woow! Digital "The One"

-Malata Z Pad / Malata SMB-A1002

See:

http://www.androidpads.com/2010/12/...1ghz-processor-a-capacitive-screen-but-no-3g/

and

http://www.androidpads.com/2010/12/...rbread-tablet-for-500-aka-viewsonic-g-tablet/

Pics look the same and specs too... Woow Digital even says it's capable of running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and 3.0 (Honeycomb)

It seems that they are manufactured by Malata and then rebranded for various companies... it's a complicated business... :D:D:D

Think there should be plenty of ROMs (or maybe always the same....)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Figured that out all by yourself did ya? Ever wonder where the Zpad rom here that lots of people are using came from? Here is a forum for the ZpAD if you can read Chinese. http://www.ez-pad.net/forum.php

And here is the page for Malata http://www.malata.com/en/products.aspx?classid=661

There are a couple others out there too.... I think the Luvpad, and one by Hannspree..

Btw, I am just goofing around with ya so don't get mad:)

No matter g-tablet sounds better. :)
[G Tablet General] babybacon:

Think that the Hannspree and the Luvpad and else are the other Malata, the Malata SMB A1011, see:

[G Tablet General] Bateluer:
If they're all virtually the same price, why is the Viewsonic branded version under 400 USD and the Malata 570 USD from MeriMobile?
[G Tablet General] g1no23:
I think it might be Dungeon Defenders. It looks like Pocket Legends a little but the UI is different.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Malata has 1G of DDR2 RAM, and Malata has more ports.. overall, Malata is better but it costs 170 more..
[G Tablet General] simon-edwards:
Does anyone have a real Malata Zpad? If so could they please confirm the overall screen dimensions (in mm) so that I can check that a G-Tablet screen protector might fit the Zpad too.
[G Tablet General] mystkrh:
Yes it is Dungeon Defenders the game runs amazing on the Gtab, Zpad, ect. Helps that its an awesome game too!
[G Tablet General] foobaz123:
I do and someone at work has a Gtab. I don't have anything handy to measure with at present, but sitting next to each other I couldn't tell any difference in the screen. You should be fine.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
I do, It is 220×125,Glad you guys finally figured out they all made in China.But xda makes me feel that my English study was not of no use.
[G Tablet General] Lectruck:
Price difference

The best price Z pad I found was $482 and the G Tab was $250 on Woot.com.

Makes it kind of hard to get a Z Pad when a Transformer is $399.

I had been looking at the Honeycomb upgrades and I will have to go the the G Tablet option I believe!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bts0uth:
I'm on 2.2 and push notifications aren't working for me. I have them enabled of course and if you notice it has options for "Friend Requests, Messages, and Event Invites."

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
this is a big step for android facebook...yet somehow, it is still utter garbage. and now that it has chat (which i will admit is a nice feature, except you cant stay permanently logged in), the only thing holding it back is that it STILL only notifies you of messages, events, and friend requests (no wall, likes, photo tags, i.e. none of the important ones)

i still firmly believe that Bloo 1.5 is the best Facebook app available to android, even though it is no longer on the market. It provides ALL notifications (you can set time frame for how often it checks) and a perfectly functioning chat feature, and birthday reminders, and you can opt to always be logged in to chat unless otherwise specified.

If anyone is interested in the .apk, let me know and ill post it. (it was free, so its not considered warez, right?)

I'm looking for a rom that gives me excellent battery life.

So far Axura seemed to be best.

But I need a rom that can not use too much life at idle because when I'm at school my phones in my pocket not being used.

This is how my day goes with the vibrant

Wake up to alarm at 100% then go on xda and check Facebook then school starts at 8:10

Then till 3:55 I don't use phone then the rest of the day texting not too much a few phone calls tons of xda a bit of Facebook and music.

And the day ends and I charge at night and all over again.

Put it into flight mode if you want to preserve battery when it's not being used and you're in school. I do this because I get no signal at college and it just eats tons of battery trying to find a signal.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parmijo11:
Or you can just turn off your data connection. Airplane mode is a better option if phone is totally idle. Then again if its idle and not being used then just turn it off, get your education, your phone can wait the few minutes to boot or register on network after airplane mode.

I'm looking at getting a new vehicle. The vehicle has bluetooth connectivity designed for handsfree phone use. I was only briefly able to test during the test drive but there was no problem connecting and using the phone function with the cars Bluetooth but when I switched to the Google Navigation app the voice directions would not play via Bluetooth. I've looked for some kind of internal setting to force this to happen but I don't see anything.

Is it possible to play the Google Navigation voice directions and or Voice Search functionality through a vehicles built in Bluetooth connection?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
I have to concure with Brian... The newer bluetooth devices have a2d2 support and you might want to check the specifications of the Bluetooth that installed in the car. Alot of the newer bluetooth models are able to be updated. I just purchased the BlueAnt Q1 and it had two firmware updates, one which contained the a2d2 update. Before the update, I couldnt play music or GPS thru my head set - afterwards how ever, I was able to play music and GPS also feeds thru my headset... hope this helps you figure it out..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisguyinoc:
Yep, it must be capable of A2DP bluetooth streaming. My wife's BT car kit will only do phone calls, no bluetooth streaming so voice directions won't work. I on the other hand have an after market Kenwood headunit that does both and it works great. It's the car/stereo, not the phone.

I read the whole thing, and this is what i got as a conclusion, quoted from article.

He tells us to bump charge if we need to get higher battery, but says that it can hurt our battery life.
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
Basically to me it gave proof to my assumption that we're not gonna get much more from these batteries. I posted it because there's question after question asking about the battery life. This should give some insight to some. With 1ghz cpus and hardware that rivals a low end netbook with a battery that's tiny compared to one, we should be happy to be getting a full days use out of them. That's just my opinion tho.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Hey, more people complaining = pushes the companies to try new ideas.

It's the way the world works.

1 company makes a great battery, another one makes a bit better then the other makes it better and so on...

As Humans, we shall always want more.

It debunks the odd advice given here to always let your phone drain out before charging it.

Also debunks the supposed need to calibrate batteries in phones.
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
totally, deep cycling is bad for Li-Ion batteries. The calibration on the other hand I don't know. The article did talk about about having the battery meter catch up to reality. Maybe reconditioning the battery helps the meter do that faster? I doubt it, but you never know I guess.
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
Trust me, im not telling people to not demand more. But it like the guy who buys a mini van and wonders why it doesn't do the same thing a High performance sports car does. Im simply presenting the info for people to make infoinformed options from and be realsitic.

Hi ya

I've been looking at the external battery chargers and additional batteries on eBay and as they aren't official batteries wondered what your experiences (if any) you had with them.

Or what else do you use to keep your phone going through the day when you cant charge it?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayfenney:
I bought one of the external chargers from ebay that came with an unofficial battery about 5 months ago. The charger itself is fantastic. I found the battery was a little too small for the phone though and didn't always connect properly so the phone would just switch off sometimes. Solved this by putting a strip of electrical tape on the end which filled the gap and keeps it connected.

I was also lucky enough (in a way) to have had to get a replacement phone because I had a problem with the USB port on the phone. When I sent the original one back I kept the battery so I have two official ones. I keep one fully charged and with me all the time.

The other problem I've found with the unofficial battery I got was that it seems to lose charge from 15% straight to 0% and just switches off. So personally I would recommend getting a charger and a second official battery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joefloater:
Thanks for the tip on the battery, mine has to go back for a broken usb..

Ditto on the ebay batteries, too small, random shutdowns especially when watching video although the wall charger did come in handy with the broken usb. I would also suggest a oem battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vardman:
Hi there,

I am due an upgrade on my Orange contract. In one regard I'm tempted to wait a while to see what new phones are on the horizon - but whether or not I can resist grabbing a phone straight away is another matter.

I was among the first early adopters of android and I'm very pleased with the OS. If I was to stick with it it's quite likely I'd upgrade to the HTC DESIRE HD...

BUT!!! I have been looking at videos demonstrating windows phones and I have to say I've been impressed. I love the UI and everything seems exceptionally fluid - more so than android, which is what I'm on at the moment and up until now has been what I was intending on sticking with.

A few questions I suppose;

Is there multitasking on board?

I'm aware applications are in shorter supply than its competitors - that's not a huge issue to me as long as I have the essentials covered.

How is windows getting on sales wise? Seeing as it's still early I risk going for a platform which could be abandoned by app authors and left stranded and unsuported by websites / media outlets.

So what would you say is the latest and greatest windows 7 phone?

Cheers,

V
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Multi-tasking is very limited for the time being. Announcements from microsoft say this will be included in the febuary update.

Windows has said they will back this OS regardless and I believe it. It's certainly doing better than windows mobile and I'm confident that it wont be abandoned.

The best WP7 phone is hard to say. with the OS I'd always go for the biggest screen of maybe a physical keyboard.
