cool, and thanks to all the others that replied. i like the list approach, it's how i usually do stuff....

i didn't get to try out the speaker, there was crap super glued to the phone @ the store. :-(

the screen was very very very bright and impressive. almost a G1 to N1 comparison side by side.

thankfully, folks didn't label me as trolling :) and have seen a similar take before. i think i'll stick with the n1 a little longer given the points in this thread. maybe february i'll buy, or maybe i'll find a NS on craigslist for 1/2 price, who knows. i'm pretty partial to my N1 for now. :)

thanks everyone !

The N1 had so much potential, but the user experience was greatly impacted (negatively) by the wonky touchscreen behavior (imho). It was also unusable outdoors, here in sunny southern CA.
[G Tablet General] scottfish:
I heard today for the first time that the nook Color was able to be rooted and was super happy since I could run Kindle on it.

Then I found xda and read about the G Tablet. At this price point for the hardware involved, I will be stopping after work tomorrow to grab one then head back here for some custom ROM action.

Super excited to see a solid form factor in an Android Tablet. When I first saw the G Tablet in the Sunday paper, I initially shrugged it off as another "not ready for prime time" tablet. While I guess it technically is, this community has taken it places!
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information here and some of the most helpful people I know of.
[G Tablet General] stcardinal:
Yes, that's exactly how I felt. I haven't gotten mine yet, and I'm still undecided whether or not I should pull the gun or continue to wait for the Notion Ink... but I've been visiting the section almost daily for news and updates.
[G Tablet General] yujikaido79:
After having the archos 101 for awhile i thought it was best I keep it and when I saw the gtablet and horrible reviews I decided to keep it but after reading the forums here I sold my archos 101 and never looked back its so much better and don't really miss the media playback aspect of it as Rockplayer has played everything I have thrown at it still gets good battery life. Now my girlfriend kinda regrets spending so much money on her macbook air and was thinking she should of gotten one as well. ^^
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Get ready for a long wait, if you didn't preorder the NI yet. Their initial "stock" is sold out so who knows when their second batch will be available. If u can get this tab for 380 or below, preferable low 300s (which is possible if ur lucky) pull that trigger.

There's a lot of helpful gtab folks here so you know there's support and with VS cooperating that even adds more value to this tablet.
[G Tablet General] scottfish:
Picked up the tab on my way home this evening.

[Focus Accessories] elkcaps:
I was wondering if anyone has used the touch screen gloves from Aglove with their Focus. I bought a pair, but they don't want to work at all with the screen. They work just fine with the capacitive buttons (home, back, search), but it takes 15-20 taps to get anything on the screen itself to register.

Are there other gloves out there that work better with the Focus?

All DHD users looking for Swype your in luck. head over to http://beta.swype.com

i happened to be looking at the site and noticed that they have started registering again for beta users. I registered and got Swype beta free. PS its a December 2010 build

SO hurry up before they stop registering.

Register for swype. activate the link in your email and then download to your device. login with your username and password and USE

and its official! Too be honest i looked everywhere maybe finding a working cracked version as i cant use the HTC keyboard as i'm addicted to Swype but no need for a warez Swype. Just register for the Beta.

Beta version works perfectly too. tried and tested last night.

No cracks, no trials, simply an official method of getting swype. Feel free to thank me if this helps!

Please note: Beta build will expire in 3 months as swype are not going to run one beta build till your hair turns grey. they would like to release newer builds with more features etc. hence the numbers of the builds. This is why they will provide updated swype builds with changelogs.

so as you will be a registered user you can download these updated builds and "test" them and carry on running each new build for 3 months till which by then another new build should be released.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Burning_aces:
Cheers mate
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] xl VipeR lx:
your welcome.

i know xdadevelopers is against swype being obtained illegally and i did have a beta version registered to the mrs phone and my old phone i sold so i had a cracked copy that stopped working a few days ago. i hunted the net for another copy and then tried to de register my old device on swype beta but couldnt.

thats how i came across beta registration reopened. registered with my second email address ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] donvale:
3 months use only :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] xl VipeR lx:
You are exactly right my friend and that is the good thing

if you read it carefully it says

This beta version will expire after 3 months as we will provide periodic updated versions that will include new features and functionality.

meaning you will get updated builds, maybe in january or february they release an updated beta version which includes an extra feature? but i am aware they do update their beta versions as my x10 is running the september build. that was released 3 months ago.

doesnt get any better does it. you get constantly up to date swype builds!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] donvale:
I guess you didn't read that part. Although 3 months is better than nothing.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] xl VipeR lx:
i didnt take notice as i have used swype a long time with out expiring on my previous devices.

but if you look at THIS build not any other build it will expire in 3 months. but it does say "AS we will provide periodic updates".

because after 3 months of testing they can confirm this build fully functional then look to improve or add more bits to it and release a newer beta build, because your already registered for a beta, when they update their beta to a newer build, you wil be able to download an update and then that build will run for 3 months before another one comes out, i know this because i joined swype beta in june, and updated to a newer build in september before i sold x10 in november.

This is one of the best apps I have used on my Desire, will defo be buying it when it become available
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] preacher65:
Not sure if this is the same problem, but there's a known issue with Swype for a lot of users, myself included. You can input by single key press, but if you try to swype, there's a beep and the keyboard border flashes. I joined the beta a few weeks ago, and found this workaround in the official forums:

1) In whatever app you're using, long-press in the text input area.

2) Select "Input Method" from the pop-up menu.

3) Choose another, non-Swype keyboard.

4) Long-press in the text input area.

5) Select "Input Method".

6) Choose Swype keyboard.

This should get you going again. I only have to do this after a reboot, but YMMV.

Hope it helps.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] preacher65:
I was REALLY sceptical at first and found it slow, but I stuck with it, and after a couple of days I was swyping much faster than I could type with both thumbs.

It learns words that you type in manually, including passwords. Most of my passwords are moderately complex, but after I type them in the long way once, Swype learns them, and next time I can swype them and it knows which are normal letters and which are numbers or symbols.

That's the one feature I miss from the stock keyboard - when typing manually (as you have to for some words), you don't get the letter flash up to confirm which key you're pressing.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] MrYuiM:
I guess ill get practising in a note app. It's not so much the flashing up images but rather the way I can see where my thumb is going. When I swipe I can't see which letters.my thumb passes over and every word I type comes out wrong. Guess ill keep trying as there is always a learning curve tm everything

Sent using my two thumbs.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] preacher65:
Okay I see what you mean, I had to learn to use my index finger instead of my thumb. Either that or turn the phone on it's side and type in landscape. I agree the keyboard is a little small to swype accurately with my thumb. I've found the accuracy much better since I made that change.

Of course not everyone is the same, so you may find it different and not to your taste! Just wanted to encourage people to struggle on past the first day or so, as it does get easier and faster with practice. Also check out the hints and tips on the web, they're well worth it. For example I find it much easier to just swype away, ignore any mistakes, and double tap on any incorrect words later to correct. Just double tap fairly slowly or the HTC edit menu comes up.

Have fun, I'll be interested to hear how you get on.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] kudzie76:
Yes. The download wasnt working for me. Error messege was saying I was not using an android device. In the end, I had to install firefox web browser and then do the download again, and thats when it funally worked.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] preacher65:
It's a known issue on the Swype beta forums, after rebooting the phone some users have to change input method to another keyboard and then back to Swype. Next time I'm on there I'll check to see if there's any update on it.

Edit: If this is the same problem that you're experiencing, it's still listed as a known bug:

Swyping produces a blue border, error sound, and no text, immediately after rebooting

The phone is trying to load the Swype application before the ESN system variable has been populated. When Swype tries to load the license, it cannot match the ESN, and fails. Reloading the app by long-pressing a text input box, choosing "Input Method" and selecting Swype will resolve this issue for you until your next reboot.

NB. When this first happened to me, I didn't realise that my phone had been rebooting, but a quick check (Settings, About Phone, Battery, Up Time) showed that the phone was rebooting once or twice a day, which turned out to be a kernel issue.

Hope this might help someone.

I'm running Ginger Clone R2 Rom.

On a Samsung Vibrant

the Stock launcher is a Gingerbread launcher, but the 3D app drawer is annoying, is there anyway i can remove that, because i jsut don't like it and when im in the middle of the list, and go back to home screen, and go back to app drawer, its back at the top, how can i stop it from happening or is there another replacement which looks like that but without 3D or that problem?
[Android Apps and Games] mr_billionaire:
It is not a problem,

The launcher is suppose to do that.

But if you go on the Android Market

and search "Gingerbread Launcher" or "MoDaCo"

and that one has no 3D app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
i jsut tried that one too, but the problem im having is that when i go into the app drawer, lets say i scroll to the end of the app drawer, and then close the app drawer to the home screen, then go back, its at the top again,
[Android Apps and Games] mr_billionaire:
Yes, the stock launchers (which the one from the market is stock, just a tad bit modified) do that, the only way to fix that is to change some code or use LauncherPro and use a Gingerbread theme.
[Vibrant General] jacobda:
On the EVO 4G there are different screen lock settings. I just thought that this was because they were one 2.2, but this is not the case. One can press the lock button and the screen goes off. If the lock button is pressed again in a predefined amount of time; you don't have to put in the unlock pattern. Are we able to mod our Vibrant's to operate like this. I searched the forums with no luck. Ideally I would like to have the same menu settings in the OS and not App work-arounds (i.e. proxy sensor locks).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Hey guys. Please forgive anything dumb I might say, and also that I've searched a bit for this, on google and on xda, but seem to be getting a bit confused. First, let me say, I rooted my evo months ago, using Unrevoked 3.21. I never really have had to use ADB for anything, I use terminal emulator or Root Explorer for anything I have needed to do. My friend just got an Evo today, and I'm assuming it will come with 3.70 software and hboot 2.1. She wants me to root it for her, which I will do, once I feel comfortable with the steps I need. I have followed ziktroniks thread of how to root the new hboot since it was called "like a boss" edition, and I feel like I shouldn't have a problem doing that. I can follow instructions pretty well. The problem I'm having is, since I rooted using Unrevoked 3.21, and I've never had to use ADB, I'm a little confused about what I need to do, and what drivers I need to install to get ADB working. I know that at the time I rooted, I installed Unrevoked hboot drivers on my computer. I downloaded the android SDK tools, but am having trouble getting it set up. When I try to run the installer, it says "android SDK relies on the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). Then it provides a link to the java website, and I downloaded and installed the JDK that it pointed me to. However, when I try to set up the android SDK, it brings me to same prompt, saying android SDK relies on Java SE Development Kit, and that i need to install it first, which I thought I already have. I'm sure it's something stupidly simple, and I feel embarassed that I haven't yet got ADB set up, but hey, I guess there's a first for everything. So if anyone could be so kind to help point me in the right direction to getting ADB set up, I'd be very gratefull for that. I've gone long enough without knowing how to use ADB, and I'd really like to get this ironed out.

My computer is running windows vista, 64 bit system, if that helps out at all.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stajdanley:
I just came over to check out your question from Myn's thread... I did not have the problem you mention when I set up ADB, so I cann't be of much use there.

I noticed you have WIN 64bit. You may have a hard time finding the drivers you will need for the computer to recognize your phone. If you end up needing them, PM me and I can throw them in dropbox and get a link for you. Good luck with everything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Persnlmgr:
Yeah, getting the 64 bit drivers might be a problem, but when you do it'll be easy if you remember this:

If you've used Terminal Emulator then ADB is demystified. Once you confirm the drivers are working, ADB is just Terminal Emulator on your computer.

I use Vista (I actually like it!), but I assume you have a Start Menu on W7...open it and at the bottom is the Start Search box. Type cmd and an old-style DOS prompt/box will come up. Once you've used the commands to log onto the phone (sorry I forgot them, but I'm sure they're in the directions, if not PM me and I'll look 'em up) that DOS box is exactly like Terminal Emulator.

And the rest should be easy to follow. It'll make you smile the first time the phone reboots after you issue a command on the 'puter, it did me.

Hope this helps...

I didn't use windows to root my evo, I used a mac, and I do all my java development on a debian linux box, but I think the problem may have to do with your computer using the wrong java by default.

Here we go, I found it - try the directions on this page:
