All,

I picked up this case from REI the other day for my GTab. Most cases cost around $30, but this one blows the others away IMHO. It has an internal pocket for the tab within the case for added protection, and fits the width of the tab perfectly.

There is also an outside pocket for your MiFi or granola bar or whatever else you feel like putting in there. Built very well, with absolutely NO chemical odor of any kind.

Highly recommended!

Do any of the new ROM's have the Brightness adjustment when you slide on the Notification Bar? It was on Eclair.
[Epic 4G General] shaolinmastr:
Nevermind I found one.
[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
They should all have this feature. Just make sure auto brightness is turned off.
[Epic 4G General] Squeaky369:
Not to start up a 5 day old thread; but I'm running Quantum Rom v2.0.0 and the slider bar in the notification window isn't there. And; I have the auto brightness off.

In fact; I don't think I've ever had it on any of the roms I've had since we switched to 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
It is on super nova.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Its in every one of them,they removed the bar,its still there but trickey to get working,you have to barely pull down the bar.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Sometimes you have to do a long press to get it to work.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
That worked perfect!
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Thats strange,I always thought you had to pull it down before in 2.1,,,but I guess it works from the notification bar now.
[Epic 4G General] Squeaky369:
I must be losing it; cause I still don't see what you guys are talking about.

So here's a screenshot, hopefully I am just looking in the wrong place and it ends up I'm a moron.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Hold your thumb anywhere along the black status bar at the top to adjust your brightness. You need to have auto brightness turned off in order for it to work. It used to be that you could slide your finger along the status bar but it hasn't worked for me as of recent but long pressing it does. You don't need the entire notification screen pulled down, just have the status bar showing ie: If you have Launcher Pro hiding the status bar it will not work.
[Epic 4G General] Squeaky369:
Got it!!

I thought it was going to be an actual slider like the Galaxy TAB has, but that is nice to have that hidden gem.

Thanks for the help!!
[Epic 4G General] osufishman:
This is my most disliked "feature" on android. It is way to easy to inadvertently change the brightness when dragging the slider down. there should be a larger dead band around where your finger starts before the brightness change becomes active because most people do not swipe down perfectly straight every time. I have yet to make it a day without the thing changing brightness by mistake.

In fact as soon as we get the source, I'm going to compile a version with this "feature" removed...
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Please remove,lol,thank you in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfinette:
Hi,

Sorry this a newb question.

I'm totally new to SGS but not new to Android (my experience is with a HTC Desire).

Well my problem today with my brand new SGS is that it doesn't mount on the PC: be it with or without an external SD Card, whenever I attempt to mount the SGS, nothing is going on the PC... the USB connection icon doesn't show in the notification tray in the PC (I'm on Win7). I don't get any error message from the SGS itself (it seems to be considering that the SD cards have been mounted on the PC...)

Do I need to install any specific Samsung/Kies drivers in order to see the SGS on my PC? If that is the case, well this is pretty annoying because at work I'm not allowed to install new drivers.

By contrast, my HTC Desire can be mounted to any PC without any specific drivers installed... so I'm wondering why the SGS would require such devices...

Dear all members,

Not sure anyone having same problem as me when receiving MMS, even if you send a MMS to yourself, you will receive 2 MMS messages?

Anyone know what is the problem?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephyrix:
from what i hear it's an issue with your carrier
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
I know what is the problem as I tried sending a MMS to myself using the default messaging client and I only received 1 MMS in return. When I view in Handcent SMS app, it also show one MMS instead of two MMS.

Guess the problem lies on the latest version of Handcent SMS app.
[G Tablet General] ianandamy:
Can anyone who has installed a custom android type rom let me know if the touchscreen is better once rooted and reflashed. I am talking about sensitivity at the store two different ones now both units are just bad when trying to select something I occasionally had to hit the selection more than 2 times.
[G Tablet General] Obsolete X:
I am also interested in if this changes. I read that its hit or miss whether or not thr screen works as intended or has problems, leaving me to believe its a production consistancy issue.

Some love it and some hate it.

Does this sound accurate?
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Sounds like it.

There's another thread about this which has a youtube video of one of the ones who said their's was bad and it certainly looked to be the case. In the video on the "home" "page" of the launcher when he swiped in the top half of the screen nothing happened most of the time, while it worked as expected in the bottom half. Mine behaves as expected wherever I swipe...
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I'm not going to let on that it will be perfect, but when I moved to TnT Lite (I'm now on 2.2.1), I installed LauncherPro. Within LauncherPro, you can adjust the sensitivity and scroll settings that covers all the launched actions. Also, there's an entry you can add to the local.prop [go into adb shell and type: echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop ] (requires r/w permissions to update). This change made it smoother (and quicker) to go from screen to screen.

There are still times where I press an icon and nothing happens for a second or so, but it rarely happens anymore with all the improvements that have been added to TnT Lite over the last couple of weeks.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
I have had no touchscreen sensitivity issues to speak of with ZPad ROM. I am now running the VEGAn ROM which has really come together nicely in the last few days, and again the touchscreen is as sensitive in all places as I would expect it to be.

Any slowness/lag issues were resolved with the updated drivers that were discovered a week or two ago.

The stock TNT ROM has lots of software issues that are totally unrelated to the hardware. This is most likely one of them. I can't say for sure, since I wiped my unit within 5 minutes of opening the box and installed ZPad.

The touchscreen is still not as good with multitouch as it should be, which I believe is a driver issue, so pinch and zoom and similar multitouch action is not as smooth as it ought to be. But in general use, typing, swiping, scrolling, etc. I am just single-touching and everything works as smoothly and well as it does on my Nexus One phone.

[G Tablet General] ianandamy:
While at the store a Viewsonic showed up and was asking me what I though about the unit, he assured me that Dec 16th would be a turning point for the device and joked that they rushed the unit to the market with the firmware being horrible. In fact he said it was a -2 on a scale 1-100, Lol, I agreed and told him the update was better but still not worth the 379.00, he then told me to root it or wait till Dec 16th that the update will add flash and several other features but will make the unit run optimizing both cores and currently it was only running on 1.

I am getting closer to thinking about buying it, I overall like the unit and I am not disappointed with the display it is decent.
[G Tablet General] undyingsum:
It's funny how that's the same day the Nexus S with Gingerbread will be available from Best Buy lol

I doubt this update will be 2.3 though
[G Tablet General] jbcarboni:
I hope this is true. I love this tablet, and if viewsonic keeps pace with what Google is developing it could prove to be a good investment.
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
This is definitely good news. Hopefully whatever software upgrade this thing gets, the screen sensitivity issue is addressed. While flash is great, it means nothing if I can barely type the web address to get to the flash-based site.

Looking forward to December 16- at least it'll be in my 30 day window for a return.
[G Tablet General] gundon:
but even with an update from viewsonic the custom roms mean nothing right? ... ok say they release a update that fixes the screen touching issue and optimizes it for both cores unless your running the stock software viewsonic released it with your not going to see any of those benefits right?
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
What the hell are you talking about? The point of my post was pointing out that they should worry less about flash and more about making the touchscreen work.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
You can return the device to stock if you wish.
[G Tablet General] gundon:
actually i wasn't posting in reference to what you said i was asking a genral question im kinda new at this i was wonder if the update was saved in a different partition of the device so that the fixes would work on custom rom i wasnt trying to counteract anyones post!! sorry if you misunderstood stood
[G Tablet General] ianandamy:
what it will mean is that the guys who build the rom will port over the changes to the custom rom So if something addresses speed or touchscreen issues then it will make the custom roms even better
[G Tablet General] gundon:
gotcha thank you so much for your replie i was seriously unclear thats all every one is a noob at some point
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Sorry for the wording of my post- I really didn't know what you were talking about which is why I explained the point of my post since you referenced the touchscreen issue I brought up.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not on Day One, that's correct. Day Two will be another story. :)

Don't worry, I'm all prepped - TnT Lite 3.0.0 one day after the firmware is released. The only issue is don't believe what a SEARS / Staples rep tells you, as they don't know any more than we do. While I'm sure Flash will be in there, we don't know what else will be added.

I hope it's blazing fast with all the major bugs fixed, but we just don't know yet.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
Please use some sort of punctuation.
[G Tablet General] craigwillie:
I assume you mean 'Viewsonic Rep'. What store was this, and did he/she give a reason for being there and soliciting feedback?
[G Tablet General] ianandamy:
He was a viewsonic rep had the viewsonic shirt on everything at the american furniture store here in fenton missouri

He was there setting up the current update on all these units so that he could train staff they according to him had not really sold well through out all the stores
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Not questioning your info, but am the rep. Why was he at a furniture store if concerned about G sales? Should he not be at Sears, Office Depot or Staples? Maybe I read your note wrong.

I would not expect a furniture store to be a critical channel partner that VS would spend money sending a rep to train staff. If they did, that could explain why the G was launched as it was ;)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I had assumed you meant a SEARS or Staples rep, my bad then.

If this person was a VS rep, then I retract what I had written earlier - they might know more than we do. And that's a good thing.

I wish I had been there, as I would have totally picked this guy's brain. :O
[G Tablet General] ianandamy:
No they sell electronics 2 not just furniture. I picked his brains pretty good but I still couldn't get a whole lot of info from him except he knows that everyone's not impressed with it so far
[G Tablet General] harpua1980:
I doubt a Viewsonic field tech knows more than you do roebeet
[G Tablet General] apsawyer65:
LOL!! That is probably VERY true!
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
Wouldn't you hit the major retailers first, biggest target audience?

Just sayin' why would they go after a furniture/electronics store first to do this? Why aren't they hitting the Sears/Staples/KMarts first? Not that anything VS has done so far in the release of this product has made sense. ;P
[G Tablet General] supanatuwral:
I think if roebeet didn't buy a gtab.....95 percent of us would have returned ours already.

That being said, why doesn't a company release info to the masses about an update? Why go to a few select stores and trickle info? Look, I like the device. Fix the sensitivity, fix some of the bugs, I wont be using a stock rom anyway....if I did use stock roms I would have bought an ipad...or the archos I still have have on back order in case roebeet and the rest of you guys dump yours and I get stuck with a $400 dollar ereader. Rant done.
[G Tablet General] anlog:
I think Viewsonic will be fairly committed to this device. The official stock update released today is a huge leap over the initial stock firmware. It actually makes the device usable and I can see how it could appeal to poeple who want a simple user interface. However, putting such a simplistic user experience on such powerful hardware is just plain dumb...
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I get that, but why there, rather than a higher volume channel partner to maximize impact?

I do this stuff for a living and rather well (at least I am told that... maybe being patronized.....)

added:

Point being- Furniture place that sells some electronics, or Sears, Office Depot, or Staples who probably have a lot more stores and units.

Perhaps multiple VS folks out and about?
[G Tablet General] anlog:
That's my guess....
[G Tablet General] xdaLurker:
Just an FYI guys. Viewsonic has actually updated their website for the gTablet and it says an update for flash support is coming December 19th ;)

http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/

"

The Viewsonic G Tablet hardware and firmware provides full support for the Adobe Flash Player built into the unit. At the time that the G Tablet was manufactured, the Adobe Player application was not available for this product. We anticipate that a version of the Adobe Flash Player Application will be available by December 19, 2010. Owners of the G Tablet will receive an automatic notice that the plug-in is available for download to further expand their web access and entertainment. (Please note that the automatic notification requires that the G Tablet has WiFi Internet access upon power-on.)

[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Bumpity bump. Just wondering if anyone on stock got pushed an update today or whether the update the rep was referring to is the one that's apparently coming out on the 19th for flash?
[G Tablet General] StirCwazy:
Actually it says BY the 19th, leaving room for it to come out sooner :P
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
It also says "we anticipate" which in my book also leaves some wiggle room fr it to come out later.

Anyone want to bet on who gets their "real" Flash first? - ViewSonic or Archos? Despite the issues we've had with ViewSonic, at least their updates don't @#$k with our CPU clock speed! ha ha ha
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I have a question about the upcoming update.

I have Flash installed on my stock Gtab. Since the new update is suppose to include Flash, should I uninstall Flash before doing the update?

This may not be answerable yet, but I was just wondering....

Thanks,

Jim
[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
I would guess that you'd want to delete it. Wouldn't want any clashes, you know? I would delete it if I were running stock.
[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
Hope that this update has some decent features and improvement. Not like the previous one
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
I don't know... for me the previous update brought a tremendous improvement in speed and stability using the stock tablet. I am talking about the update released a week ago.
[Captivate General] gin032:
Here was my situation, and how I got out of it:

I was running the Perception build 7 ROM. It was great, no issues except that I needed to get some kernel modules for it, and was unable to get the info I needed to re-create the kernel build environment. I decided to return to stock. There were lots of threads, all going in different directions with inconsistent advice. The wiki I was looking at has what appeared to be a ClockworkMod (CWM) backup.

I had already tried to restore my own CWM backup, but (after disabling lagfix) would restore, but then seemed to loop trying to start the lock screen. Same thing with the version on the wiki. I didn't want to restore to the ATT version and I didn't have windows to run Odin...

So this should work from Windows, Linux and Mac.

Heimdall might not work for you on Mac, that requires an official Froyo update with fixed secondary bootloader. Should work fine on Linux if you followed readme file instructions.
