[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flappjaxxx:
I have searched all over with no solution. If I try to go to my downloads in the market I get server error click to retry or cancel to go to previous screen. Only does it with current gmail account. Wiped and tried with a different account and it works fine. Any suggestions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdrodge:
I'm having the same problem on my HTC Legend 2.2 stock Vodafone.

I have tried clearing and uninstalling the market app / updates but this didn't help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flappjaxxx:
From what little bit I have found, even a fresh install doesn't work.

Must have been an ugly glitch on the market side, seems to have magically fixed itself and works fine now
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
Due to my worry that there's a good chance Viewsonic will stop support for the G Tablet - I returned mine back to Sears.

The salesman told me most are being returned and he did hear that there is a recall. When I asked what info he was told - he just said that there is a recall and he doesn't know specifics - but the returns are all different problems.

My thanks to all who provided the info on these forums and I intend

to take the plunge again with either a different tablet or Viewsonic's next gen.
[G Tablet General] mspkash1:
I did the same exact thing for the same exact reason.. returned my G to sears last night. I see one on craigslist now for $300.. Its bit tempting considering i'm not paying full retail... guess i'm going back to my nook color till april next yr.
[G Tablet General] Lnin0:
Sorry to hear. I am sure you are not alone.

From the VS tweet is sounds unlikely there is a recall or even 'manufacturing defect' related to hardware.

"We are looking into Staples' gTablet action and will provide more information as we get it."

However, if there is a recall you would be able to return your device no matter the purchase date.

I think a lot of people are just spreading the same rumor - egged on by attention hungry non-fact checking tech blogs, uneducated point of sales employees and a miscommunication on Staples part.

I know there are a lot of people lookng for deals on these things. What Sears location did you return your to?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Yikes!

Two folks who have bought into the Engadget, Apple biased conjecture based on a sign at a Staples.

Best to do what you feel though, none the less. :)
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Thanks... more for us to buy cheap! LOL!
[G Tablet General] oblomov:
I did the same, although for different reason, namely because I couldn't deal with the screen any longer. :(
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
Most likely Viewsonic's tweets would deny a recall as long as possible even if one was in the works.

On the other hand a Viewsonic recall would affect more than just Staples. However this is only the beginning of this fiasco. Let's see how it progresses over the next couple of weeks.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
I could live with the screen. For me it would be the lack of Flash and the constant WiFi drops.
[G Tablet General] fletch33:
as long as there is a dev community supporting it i am happy :)

the viewing angle is a $50 fix with a replacement LCD and the hardware on this is going to remain competitive for some time still.

i could have paid a lot more for a better GUI and angle views but would have had a less powerful tablet.

i believe this gTab will be around for a bit and i am enjoying my veganTab.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I called Viewsonic CS this morning for exactly this reason - they need to nip this in the bud NOW and assure their user-base that they have this under control.

I completely understand your reasons for returning it. If I hadn't gotten mine used at the Outlet, I'd be a bit worried as well. As it is, I'm here for the long haul - if they eventually pull support, we have zPad and the VEGA to keep us going. It's been a wild ride and I don't think it's going to end anytime soon.
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
New Brunswick, NJ
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I have two, one new from staples and one from sears outlet. I am very happy with them both and so is wifey. She loves hers. I think the update they came out with yesterday is spot on. They are now in the same boat as all other tab manufacturers right now. It's stable and responsive right now with the update. Archos does not have flash oob nor does any other tablet, except the Galaxy. FAIK, there is NO 10" tablet that has flash oob, including the Ipad. The update leveled the playing field with everything else that is out there at this time.

When, not if, they get flash oob, this will be the leader of the pack. I think you guys are jumping ship a tad too early, but that'[s just my opinion and we know about opinions.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
There you go Roebeet, that's a quick 2 hour round trip! GO GET IT!
[G Tablet General] S2W:
What a time for me to be away lol. Would of been like an hour lol.

Hoppefully someone will take advantage, if it becomes available.
[G Tablet General] deependh200:
How does one go about doing this?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
From an out of box perspective, I would have been G-less from day two.

Still, you were a simple install away from a stable TnT Lite 2.4 and Flash is easy to install. For non modders that want out of box- the G is not "G" for good.
[G Tablet General] fletch33:
there is a thread about it here. also one of the guys on the tegratab IRC has already done it, is posting a thread on here with pics, and apparently it is an easy process.

here is a link to ones i think may work but again there is a thread about what exactly he used being posted shortly.
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
Not trying to be a downer here, but to the OP, who freaking cares?

This is a dev community, the support here is what drives a lot of people to keep using their devices, tweak em, and tinker around.

Congrats on returning your device...make sure you let everyone know you did so based on hearsay/some misplaced worry. Last time I checked viewsonic never said it was dropping support, and as a matter of fact they have been leaning a different way entirely as evidenced not only by their twitter feed but actual OTA updates that you can receive.

This thread is lame.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
When I got the G Tablet I did it with 2 things in mind:

It is not an Apple (I am "alergic" to Apples).

I wanted to kick up my feet in my Lazy Boy and use it. I am getting too old and tired for constantly maintaining stuff. A year or so ago it would've been different.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I haven't seen Outlet devices all day - I just get an an error over and over.

Maybe they have my IP address blocked. :D

Calling the NB store.... maybe it's sitting in the Closeout section. (Crosses fringers)
[G Tablet General] artesuave:
ohhh one day after viewsonic tweets that there still supporting there product AND releasing kernel...you should have waited just a little longer :o
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
update: Called the NB store. they said they have a return but it might take a few days for it to be accessed, before it goes up for sale. :(
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
Nope - I knew about the update.

I'll wait for the next gen which maybe released sometime after CES.

( and hopefully will have a different panel )
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
If you don't care - why did you click on it and read it then make a post..

you do freaking care ...:)

The thread isn't lame - this is what a forum is - your post is what's lame.
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
You're right, my bad.

This sepecific section of the xda forum is for people with G-tablets. :D
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
Wrong again....

This forum is for anyone that wants to discuss the G tablet.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I think that's what we (meaning the custom ROM addicts) want to hear! Roebeet, Rothnic, and Bekit still supporting this device. I have zero issues with my gtablet except for the viewing angles but that's it. I can't get rid of this tablet just because it'll probably be the cheapest tegra 2 with a 10 inch screen. I paid $380 and I still think that's a good price for this device. It would be worth more if the screen was better. At some point, I did question my purchase but seeing what this CPU can do, I have no regrets.

For what you are getting that price isn't that bad and I think it'll be more evident when the newer tegra tabs come out.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
yea i got mine for $380 and after taxes and shipping (no local sears near me) came out to about $420. its still worth it considering there are really no other android tablets out there right now. the only other one really is galaxy tab but no way in hell am i paying so much for a 7 incher. and i don't care for 3G. i have a droid that i can tether to.

in fact, i don't even consider this a real functional tablet. its more like a stepping stone that will hold me over until the better ones arrive on honeycomb in march or so. i probably won't sell it though. i'll just pass it off to another family member.

i remember i looked at this tablet way back when it was announced that sears had it. i was considering it until i read the reviews. they were horrible. then a few weeks later, i found out that ppl were modding the thing already, so i decided to buy one. i'm not rich nor poor, but i'm a person that likes to have these kinda techy stuff to play with everyone once in a while. i'm somewhat comfortable with flashing new roms and modifying build.prop files so to me, this tablet is worth it. especially with all the mods and community and devs helping. and viewsonic actually giving recognition to the devs and not being douches by locking everything down.

so for $400, this tablet is definitely worth the money in my book.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I got the New Brunswick one, this morning (they finally posted it in the Outlet). Going to pick it up, shortly.

Thanks for the heads up!
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Maybe you'll get really lucky, and it'll be a 1GB one :)!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's not charging past 94%, what's up with that? ;)

Actually, I'm going to drain it dry to see if the battery meter is more stable. At least it goes down, unlike my other device. Even if not, it will serve its purpose as my "dev" unit - I already ripped the back off to make sure it wasn't a v2 (and it's not).
[G Tablet General] Slaytanic79:
Brutal

The number of people there are that know nothing of the modding scene.

This tablet in my experience is the best so far I would trade it for nothing at this point. I bought it for my girl friend and two days later after not liking the firmware installed tnt never looked back would never think of returning it.
[G Tablet General] BluesTele:
That's it 93-94% tops.

I did check the battery - look for my post "Battery Test".

It came out very good!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I might actually use this new one as my day-to-day, and my other one as the dev unit. I prefer 94% only because I at least have an idea when the battery is really close to dying.

This device also has the weird partition swap issue that bekit saw - but I think I fixed that with nvflash.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Hey guys

How does a market update work?

I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?

my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM

Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?

Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Really odd that mine crashes, it would NOT install normally, it gave me "Installation failed" error.

Perhaps you could point me to the exact file you used?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Er... I used 2.2.6 and it's now auto updated to 2.2.7, I think I used this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?ilv5hshq0lgunnr
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Thanks a lot mate, I'll check that one out and report back! :cool:
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
thanks guys, I picked up 2.2.6 and it installed just fine - I guess 2.2.7 will be updated somehow...

Also, aren't there supposed to be 5 sections in the market now? (wallpapers / widgets sections?)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
They've mentioned it, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now. :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Reporting back: Still doesn't work.

This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
That's all you're supposed to have.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps

Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).

New market suddenly appeared magically on mine 2 days ago n i didn't do anything...it was just there.....n im in Brunei...

Yeah it's getting pushed to phones, but I don't know if it gets pushed to phones running custom ROMs...

Does someone knows how to allow the root access on android emulator?

When I type "su" in the ConnectBot terminal application I got:

[Epic 4G General] robbinzon:
Hey all,

I was looking at some of the custom roms available. Is it possible to update to say ViperRom w/o changes to the stock Epic look/feel. That is, is the stock theme removed and are Sprint stock apps, etc. removed as well? Has anyone been successful in restoring their apps/settings after an update to a custom rom or just vanilla 2.2 leak? I just want a fast/stable ROM but with stock Samsung look/feel.

Also, what is the Bluetooth performance and SIGNAL performance like in 2.2.1 based ROMs? I saw no one review that.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
Have a few WiFi networks around here and this SGS drops wifi for no reason, therefore how do I force the Galaxy S to stay connected to my preferred WiFi network, locking to it and staying lock even if a nearby WiFi is stronger ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
Still looking for a solution.

anyone?

Perhaps this thread is in the wrong section, so if a Mod wishes to move it, that's fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] leoon:
I have the opposite problem.. I put 2 routers to cover all my home with wifi (same ip).. And even if I'm at a room with 5bars from router A, and 2 bars from router B, the phone connects to router B!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
Thats also a problem that I'm having.

If only there was a way to choose the wifi we want and stay locked to it, our problem would be solved.

I can't believe we are the only ones with this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
Any update from anyone ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
Hey All,

Hopefully you guys can answer this questions for me. I've noticed that whenever I load google maps it will never ever lock onto my position it only uses network location

UNTIL

I load up a software program such as GPS Test. once I turn on GPS test withing 15 Seconds I have a lock. Once I have a lock I can go into Maps and all is well.

So, is there a problem with Google Maps where it wont lock your GPS position until you use GPS Test? Can anyone shed any light on this subject?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
It requires more than just 1 sattelite to get your location. On your lbstest

It will say you got these satellites but not location

Longitude and laditude
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
Thanks for the reply, but you missed my point. In lbstestmode or other gps apps I can get a lock of 9 out of 10 satellites in less than 15 seconds with great signal strength(over 50).

But if I don't use lbs or some other app before starting google maps I never get a lock at all. Why would that be? Any ideas? So now I have to run 1 program(lbs) before running maps. Why won't google maps lock onto satelites?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinywookie:
I noticed the same thing. I have switched to the new jl4 modem and i don't seem to have to launch gps test first. It seemed like it was something to do with maps caching gps data and gps test not caching.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Thorstenk:
Hi there,

I am planing to buy the P500. My question is are there any restrictions when using a Mac to access the phone? Is it possible to access the phone especially up-/download images music etc. or would I need a Windows or linux computer for doing that?

Second question is, is it possible to flash a custom rom to the phone using the Mac?

This will be my first Android Mobile so I am not at all experienced ...

And for the flashing part is there a step to step tutorial how to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Thorsten
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staicy:
I'm new to the android-scene (comming from omnia wm6.5).

I just had a few questions for u guys, before i get reply's like use search etc., i did search around but there are like so many threads and so much info that it just isnt that clear to me :).

so i want to root my phone & flash a custom rom. But i've seen there are some different types of roms

for example:

leedroid

oxygen

defrost

auraxtsense

cyanogenMod

MIUI

... ?

Now my major question is whats the difference between all these types?

I know some have sense, others dont. But it aint all about interface i assume?

If someone could enlighten me a bit i would really appreciate it :).

My apologies again if a thread like this would excist allready...

Thx in advance guys !!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Okay, no comments about search, but i think this should be posted in the Q&A section...

Well, in short, there are 2 kind of roms: Sense-based and AOSP roms. Sense based are roms based on the official HTC Sense base, like LeeDroid, AuraxtSense etc. These roms have the Sense launcher and all the Sense goodies.

AOSP roms like Oxygen, DeFrost, Cyanogen, are pure AOSP with extras. Search google for a better explanation what AOSP is, but in short it is a pure Google rom (like the Nexus has). AOSP roms are faster and smaller than Sense roms.

Then you've got MIUI, this is basically an AOSP rom, but with a customized launcher which makes it feel like something different (although more iphoney)...

Ans now there are AOSP roms, based on the new Gingerbread...

For pro's and cons, search first. I prefer AOSP because of the speed and no bloatware, but if you prefer eye candy, look at Sense roms (or MIUI)...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staicy:
Thanks for the quick reply! (+thanks)

The roms like Oxygen, DeFrost, Cyanogen. The difference between these are just different people (cooks) who make em?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
The ROMS are classified into 4 these days:

-AOSP (Cynogenmod, DeFrost, etc.)

-Sense (LeeDroid, etc.)

-New-Sense(Robociks Z, RCmixHD, etc.)

-MIUI (Rodriguezmod MIUI, etc.)

AOSP: Fastest, free of bloatware, most exellence battery live, not wearing any Sense cosmetics.

Sense : good battery live, beautiful, orginal Desire feeling.

Edit: I am currently using Robociks Z v0.5

New-Sense : average battery live, even more beautiful, still has some bugs (720 recording for example), a whole new experience of HD and Z.

MIUI: good battery live, IPhone-look (I hate it), some left overs of chinese letters.

Try the ROMs yourself and decide which one to keep.

For me...I am flashing another ROM every 2 weeks...I just can not make up my mind which ROM I should keep.. :D

Edit: I am currently using Robociks Z v0.5
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex4lex:
So, to start off, the issue at hand is not download mode, I can get into that quite easily. It's that neither one click odin or regular odin won't recognize it. I've gone back to stock so many times without issue, but this particular time I tried, it froze on sbl.bin. My screen turned a greenish black, and stayed on that for about 10 minutes before I decided it was frozen and I did a battery pull. Tried it again and the exact same thing happened. Now, windows says "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"

I was going from icezar's Darky's 5.5 to stock when this happened. I've gone from the first i9000 2.2.1 stock rom back to stock 2.1 with no problems before. Any ideas? I've also reinstalled drivers, and I still get that error. :( also, my power button doesn't do squat when it's completely powered off. Only the volume up+down button combo can bring the download screen up, other than that, no go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Ouch - You've reinstalled the drivers.

Odin doesn't see it when you have download mode and the USB plugged in.

Can you get ADB to see the device while in download mode?

You had USB Debugging turned on before things went south?

Hmm.. you could try:

Turn on ODIN

Remove the SIM, external SDCard, and battery.

Hold down both volume buttons - plug in the USB cable then jam in the battery and see if ODIN will recognize it then.

But.. if you can't get the computer to recognize your device even after re-installing the USB Drivers?

eh you might wait for a few more posts - but I think you might be fubard.
