I used the stock ROM for all of two minutes. The vegan mod I'm running is working quite flawlessly. My Aldiko doesn't seem to have an issue. Must be an app issue with stock ROM.

Have you considered flashing a custom ROM? Or are you trying to stay stock?

Maybe try reinstalling Aldiko or clearing its cache and data.

Hopefully a fellow stock user will have some answers, but I encourage you to check out the custom ROMs available.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jthomp636:
Thanks for the reply. Yea, I thought I might stay stock for a week, just to make sure there is no hardware issues. I worked around it last night by downloading the books to my linux box and then mounting the gtab and coping over the books to it in the ebooks/inport directory. Once there, Aldiko was able to import with no problem.

I look forward to "rooting". Knowing in advance of the whole "software" debacle, but also, knowing about the community here, made me deceide to go ahead and get one.

I don't think I'll regret my decision!

New stock update

There is a link to a new 3116 update from viewsonic in the General Section. I can't post the link as I am too new.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] m_roulston:
Does Aldiko read books in Adobe Digital Edition format? I've tried to download books using txtr and Overdrive but keep getting errors. I'll have to try wiping data and cache with those aps and see if that resolves the issues I've been having.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jthomp636:
From the Aldiko web site, version 2.0, which is supposed to be out soon, will support the Adobe Digital format. I don't think it does at this point.

Other than my download issue, it is a pretty neat app.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jthomp636:
Just wanted to update. Not only am I still having an issue with Aldiko, but, I have discovered that I cannot download anything except applications from the gmarket store.

So, obviously something weird is going on. Any other stock users unable to do any downloading?

Thanks,

Jerry
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
So today I was at the mall and I asked a TMO rep about 4G internet. I said, "How will you know if you have 4G?" The rep said "You will see a letter H". I then said, "How do you know if you're on 3G" He said, "You will also see a letter H". I got to admit that is pretty lame. So is there there 4G is basically a tweaked 3G?

Is it really TRUE 4G?
[Nexus S General] crazifyngers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G

marketing is all it is. but hspda+ is pretty fast.
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
What kind of speeds are you getting on your 4G device?
[Nexus S General] Product F(RED):
Here's where it gets tricky. LTE Advanced and WiMax 2 are considered 4G (they don't even exist yet). As of yesterday, ITU (the ones who decide what "4G" is) admitted that WiMax and LTE can be called 4G. T-Mobile uses HSPA+, which is basically really fast 3G. However, even as an Evo owner (Sprint uses WiMax), I have to say I'd rather have LTE or at least HSPA+. Why? Because it's always on as long as you're in an area that has it. And on top of that, it doesn't rape your battery like WiMax does. Besides, you shouldn't by a phone based on how fast the internet is. By the phone for its features, build quality, etc. It's faster than what you already have and that's what matters. Plus, you won't be paying extra for the extra speed.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/18/itu-capitulates-admits-that-the-term-4g-could-apply-to-lte-w/
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
Thank you. Great run down!
[Nexus S General] crazifyngers:
well like the link says hspda+ is not 4g. none of the "4g" systems are really 4g it is all marketing. that being said on the nexus s which does not have hspda+ chip only a hspda chip here are my results. the top two are wifi results. oh and i'm in phoenix.
[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
I don't get what all the furor is about. No one is bound by what the ITU says. At this point 4G just means "better than 3G." It's hard to fault T-Mo. They've got a network that's considerably faster than what has been normal 3G and is comparable to what Sprint calls 4G. From a business perspective there's no way they could surrender the field to Sprint just because of what the ITU and tech geeks say.
[Nexus S General] Product F(RED):
Yeah, and like you said, that's without HSPA+. The highest I ever hit on WiMax was around 12 down, but then again I'm in NYC and I get full "4G" from my house (guess I'm by a WiMax access point). I'd be happy with those speeds you posted though. I do tether on occasion, but 99% of the time I don't need anything faster than that. Oh and another reason why HSPA+/LTE are better than WiMax is because LTE and HSPA+ are/are becoming global standards while WiMax is available in a few countries, though not on phones like in the US. Plus WiMax is basically longer-range Wifi which imo is pretty retarded for cellular use, especially considering the battery drain.

As for why I went to Sprint is another story. It's cheaper (or as cheap) as T-Mobile and you get free roaming on Verizon. I love GSM to death, but I'm a college student and I need to get as much as I can for as little as I can :P Plus the Evo's f*cking awesome, 4G or not.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I read that the consortium that manages all the standards came out yesterday and said that WiMax, advanced 3g tech(HSPA+) and LTE all classify as 4g
[Nexus S General] Product F(RED):
Yup, linked to it in my first post. They admitted they could be called 4G since we're so far off from the original requirements (1 Gbps I believe). What they described as 4G originally should really be 5 or 6G. Pretty steep requirements.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
No.

[Nexus S General] slowz3r:

YES
[Nexus S General] FastMhz:
Now I kinda wish the Nexus S was 4G capable. ****, if it's no extra charge for extra speed. Why not?! Regardless, love the phone. :p

LTE 4G in Germany

Germany will be the first country in the EU to deploy high speed, low latency, LTE technology using the 800 MHz digital divided spectrum. Vodafone is one of the first operators to start LTE networks in Germany. The technology should allow for average speeds of 50 Mbit/sec.

[Surround General] species8472_rules:
Will keep this short.. Bought two Windows Phone 7 devices since launch.. One Focus and One Surround.. I use the Focus and my son (who is 16) has the Surround.. A few days after purchase of the Surround it would lockup on him every couple of days.. Today it will not boot completely.. Hard Reset does not clear the issue. Today is day 29 so I went to AT&T Store and was denied claiming the phone has water damage.. The water damage indicators are white but have the words void in red.. I was pretty sure this is how the phone shipped (with the words "void" present in red). The battery water damage indicator is "still" white and there is NO visible damage to screen or any other part of the phone..

For the record: I am pretty sure my son has NOT exposed this phone to water. He has had two iPhones (3G and 3GS) always keeps his Phones, XBOX 360 and Computer in great condition (cannot say the same for the rest of his room). Not to mention, before the Smartphone days he dropped his cheap phone in water and told me right away (cause he knows I will find out the truth).

I search the web and found several reviewer images that show the same white stickers with the words void in red.

If I am correct the white stickers will turn black when exposed to water or moisture.

Can a few of you post images of the back of your Surround with NO cover? I am gathering proof for my battle at the store tomorrow. :-D
[Surround General] dode:
I can't post images but I too have 2 screwholes covered by white stickers with the word void in red.
[Surround General] NOFSBIGE:
Those void stickers are only for the screws not water damage... The water damage indicator is down toward the bottom on the board. Hope this helps... Have them show you a comparison to a surround they have in stock.

Good Luck!
[Surround General] anwei40:
Agreeing again - 2 screws are covered by white "tamper" stickers with a red "VOID" printed on them.

The actual Liquid Damage stickers are right by the batter contacts (all white) and on the battery itself (all white).
[Surround General] species8472_rules:
Thanks Guys.. :-D

I "knew" the stickers were not water damage indicators but this acting manager did not.. She refused to pull one from stock, so being unprepared I left to gather evidence..

I found several images on the web and combined with your comments she "backed down" the next day but failed to give an apology. She thought all damage indicators were similar to iPhone (what a joke).. :-O

I have filing a complaint with Distict Management as this horrible excuse for a manager nearly screwed me out of 250.00.. :-\
[Streak 5 General] Nate90:
I am thinking of buying the dell streak and I was looking at it on Dell's website and it says that you need a 3G connection to use the navigation. I am using T-mobile so on the streak I would be stuck to 2G speeds and was wondering if this is true that you need 3G to use the maps? I thought you just needed a data connection (2G or 3G) or wifi connection.
[Streak 5 General] ak47m:
You just need a data connection. Even on AT&T, Navigation will work if I only have EDGE speeds (2g).
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
This ofcourse is if your using google maps for navigation.

There are some navigation apps where you have to download the maps and put those in your sdcard which do not require a data connection.
[Streak 5 General] stevenmcw:
I use copilot it store the map on the phone
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
google map 5.0 offers offline map and 3D view

Google map 5.0 has 3D view and offline map on Android 2.2. I am not sure if it's available on Dell Streak now.
[Streak 5 General] Spleisher:
Yeah, it is if you are running froyo. I have it on mine. Part of google maps 5.0.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfiej:
Widget Locker does this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optmsprim2:
If we're talking about the lockscreen then, like alfiej said, widget locker can fill it up with sliders and widgets. I do have a question about that link tho. Does the gingerbread lockscreen actually have multiple sliders and/or can it be customized like that on stock? Or is the multiple sliders a change made in CM6.1?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I really don't like running apps in my background (especially lockscreens).

1. They dont work all the time.

2. They take up too much memory.

I used widget locker and my phone died much faster than without it. I had my phone unplugged yesterday for 15 hours before it got down to 80%. With it, it was down at like 60%. Sorry dude.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfiej:
No need to apologize dude, I just was naming what does this. I bought widget locker a few weeks ago and got a refund within an hour so I feel your pain.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idkwhothatis123:
What's dope about this one is above the sliders you can draw gestures and it will automatically launch those apps
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dantichrist:
I actually really like our stock lock screen because it basically has these same features. I'd probably go for this one if it was available to us because I like the vanilla layout better.

alright so...

-i have a vibrant 2.1 and i downloaded this thing called BLN in the market.. and it wasnt rooted...

-and when i opened the app it told me to download a update.zip for it to work....

-so i downloaded it and went to the android system recovery and reinstalled it..

-so it installed successfully and then shut off and turned back on so the vibrant screen came up, and then another screen came up saying Galaxy S Gt-i9000 and it would stay on there.

-then when i go to the android system recovery.. theres 4 options saying.. 1.reboot system now, 2. apply sdcard:update.zip 3. wipe data/factory reset 4.wipe cache partition..

and instead of using the vol. button to go down its the top button that goes down instead..

AND HERES THE HARD THAT DONT WORK... THE POWER BUTTON WONT ENTER.. SO IM GUESSING ITS DISABLED?

CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME?!
[Captivate Android Development] devz3r0:
Tried to trim this down a little as there are a ton of steps, let me know if any of this is incorrect.

1. Flash back to stock rom, and do a master clear using the Odin3 One-Click Downloader by designgears

2. Root using one-click-root and install busybox, turn on usb development mode + stay awake, and connect to your PC.

3. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the directory where you extracted the one-click-root. Run the following commands:

a. adb shell

b. su

c. cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard/nv_data.bin

d. cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard/nv_data.bin.copy (incase there is a problem)

e. rm /efs/nv_data.*

4. Exit your adb.exe window, mount your phone on your PC and navigate to the internal card. Edit the nv_data.bin with a hexeditor (bpsoft.com) and search (ascii) for "SGH-" (without the quotes)

5. It may be something like SGH-I897ZKATOR or SGH-I897ZKATMB. You need to change this to SGH-I897ZKAATT	then save the file, and unmount your phone.

6. Disconnect usb data cable from pc to phone, re-enable usb development mode + stay awake, reconnect.

7. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the directory where you extracted the one-click-root. Run the following commands:

a. adb shell

b. su

c. cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin

d. busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin

8. Power cycle
[Captivate Android Development] mattbeau:
Hi hansomni. l've been down this road. Were you successfull with creating Nv_data.bak this way and restoring with that. For example editing nv_data.bak and making a corresponding md5 file and only placing those files in your efs folder and restarting your phone

I had problems creating this file. i would always get an incorrect iemi. This is why i recommend using nv_data repair.zip posted in the tmo vibrant unlock thread not only can you recreate the correct product code but also fix the fffffffff for unlock code.

Have you checked this outhttp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8983897&postcount=103
[Captivate Android Development] hansonmi:
yeah... i have been successful using the steps i outlined... like i said in the original post, this is only to get your product code fixed... i don;t have an unlocked phone so i don't know if that program works... i did use it to check it out, but it is written in frech or something and it never copied the "patched" nv_data files back to my phone... i had to do it manually and still the product code from the created files were wrong. Others say that they have had success using it, but i never did. I took a buch of stuff from a buch of posts on this site to compile the guide here for restoring product codes only.

the .bak files are your backup files that get generated sometimes... usually those files have your correct unlock codes and productcode... to restore them, just delete the non .bak files and remove the .bak extension from the backups... then copy them to your /efs/ folder and powercycle and you should be good. you should keep all your orignial files from your /efs/ folder in a safe place though so you have them to fall back on if you need to. I have never had the .bak files in my /efs/ folder so i haven't ever been that lucky.
[Captivate Android Development] hansonmi:
Yeah, looking at it quickly it looks like all the instructions are correct... maybe abbreviated too much... Thanks for that... i will update with instuctions similar.... i have to remember that there are those folks that have never used adb or know what it is. I will credit you in my update tomorrow. I am used to where i work we have people that use computers that don;t know how to power them on and off so they just leave them on all the time... i have to be very specific on my instructions that i tell them so they can understand... a two second task becomes an all-day event. Just something i am used to doing.

I will be working on a dos script (.bat) file that will do most of the adb stuff so then the users only need a few things to do and just let the scripts take care of the rest.
[Captivate Android Development] mattbeau:
You dont even need to change the extenaion of those files if you power cycle your phone with just .Bak files. Your phone will recreate the nv_data.bin and md5 from those .Bak files and create a log file

Yeah i know the java program is in french. But its only asking you what two codes you want to use for unlocking your phone ( ahh google translate)

And yes the first time i tried the program i had trouble too. I think it helps if you have a good busybox version.

Believe me the easier you can make it the better it will be for everyone. Now if we could just get everyone to back up that folder before flashing anything we wouldnt even need to go down that road. Thanks for your help in this. Ill leave this thread alone now sorry if im intruding. Pm me if you need any help
[Captivate Android Development] hansonmi:
Yeah... the problem is that not everyone knew to do it before flashing as a lot of the ROM pages don't say it (I was one of them that never knew about it)... i knew what the java was saying but since i don't have an unlocked phone, i had no way of testing it to see if it worked for me or not... and on top of that it didn't work with restoring my productcode (i know that becuase i couldn't use Kies until i did things manually)... I tell people to rename the files, becuse i am assuming they copy the contents of their /efs/ folder to a PC or something... then they just have to delete the nv_data files from /efs/ on their phone, and rename the .bak files on their PC and copy them back to their phone's /efs/ so they still have a copy of their original files saved on their PC... plus i don't like relying on the phone doing the renaming because if it doesn't no one will know what went wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] hansonmi:
Working on Windows Batch (.bat) script

I will be working on doing a windows .bat script that will do most of the dirty work for you... it may take a couple days because where i work the end of the year is the busiest time for me and i don't have a lot of time between work during the week.

I will make the script an attachment and will hopefully be able to zip with the abd files to make life a little easier for everyone.
