downnload mode, I hold both volume buttons in and connect the usb and it I get into download mode everytime
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FriendlyCanadian:
No problem, I'm glad that solved your problem. I'll see if I can put this solution on the Noob guide so others can see it easily before they resort to making a JIG.

the newer vibrants are hardware locked so you can't get into download mode that way. This is why you have to use the SDK to do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel26:
Does this mean if the sdk will not recognize that the device is connected then i have to make this JIG Thing? because my phone is stuck at the connect phone to pc screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Yes, make it or buy one. I know who sells them for a VERY reasonable price. If you're interested Pm me for more info.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,

Solution...

Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone so I can go back to the basics of flashing I hope, I am going to give it a try to see what happens
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FriendlyCanadian:
No...being the noob that I am, I'm constantly finding new ways to brick my phone. So tonight, I bricked it with the phone to PC screen. ADB can't detect it and neither can odin. This is FIXABLE, I tried the method here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771247

Method 3 worked for me. Even if you have a hardware locked phone, I think there is a method around this which involves taking the battery out and putting it back in but I don't remember where I read this in the forums....I know I did read it though, you have to search to find it. Try these

before

you resort to making the JIG.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I have flashed both Sense and AOSP roms (repeatedly) and am constantly struck by the increased contrast and saturation of the screen image with Sense roms. In addition, images appear to have smoother edges and less pixelation.

My question is, do Sense roms use a different dithering algorithm than AOSP and do they tweak saturation and contrast levels as well as use a softer focus? It is not just a matter of adjusting RGB. Sense roms just have better "depth" to their presentation than AOSP.

Would like to hear from someone that knows of such things and also if anyone else has noticed this?

P.S., I know that AOSP roms offer the option of Desktop Dithering; however, even with that selected the image quality on Sense roms is superior IMHO.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
I'm sure I'm missing some basic concept/setting regarding email attachments, but here are my questions:

1. Is there a way to save an attachment to a specific location on my SD card? I can find the attachment in /sdcard/download/, but would like to save it from the mail program to another location.

2. I've noticed that all attachments are stored in /sdcard/download/, even after the message is deleted. Is there a setting that will delete the attachment when the message is deleted? Or are the email messages actually not deleted even though I manually have deleted them; just no longer listed?

Thanks.

[G Tablet General] Skempo:
Ok, got my G tablet last night open it and played with it a while to see how the stock tablet responded, and as every one has said it was one slow dog. So immediately went to work installing Clockworkmod V08, and TNT Lite V3, all went well in that regard. Fired the tablet back up and started once again to explore. Here are a few observations that I am not sure are just me or maybe I was expecting more.

Tablet still very slow to respond. How fast should it respond, and is there any kind of performance test App?

Seems like I have to press very hard for the screen to recognize a press. How hard do you have to press on the screen to get a response?

Thanks for all the help.
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
The screen is capacitive so you shouldnt' have to give any pressure at all, just need to touch it.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

There's a thread titled 'Touch Sensitivity' with a procedure for calibration. Maybe try that?

Jim
[G Tablet General] digger44:
And the performance test, or benchmark app, normally used is "Quadrant Standard"
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Tablet should not feel slow at all. Did you wipe user data after installing TNT Lite v3? You might have garbage left over from the stock build.

I've not tried TNT Lite V3, but on Vegan ROM the G Tablet is *very* fast. The only exception is all the ROMs have a kernel bug where they sometimes slowdown after wake when they've been asleep for some time, so if you see major lag, might need a reboot.

And as the others have mentioned, if your touchscreen isn't feeling sensitive and it's not dirty, then it's a calibration issue. Fix on TNT v3 is to drop an empty file called calibration.ini into the /sdcard directory and reboot (make sure you're not touching the screen when it's booting). The screen should now be calibrated and very sensitive (make sure you delete the calibration.ini file now or it will re-calibrate on every reboot, and you don't really want that).
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I think that that calibration.ini needs to be in /sdcard2?
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
I did wipe user data after installing TnT Lite V3. My screen is so bad I cant even press in the area of the notification exclamation point to turn on the USB for file transfer. Is there any other way to get the USB turned on for file transfer so that I can put the calibration.ini file onto it?
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
I currently have the Calibration.ini on sdcard2 and does not look like it does anything on boot.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
The OP stated he was using TNTLite 3.0, so it has the calibration.ini built-in.

The problem most likely stems from his partition. Did you repartition? If not, I highly recommend you do so, wipe everything, and reload the rom.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Actually, TNT Lite and the latest beta4 builds of Vegan ROM use the hacked version of the TSCalibration binary that looks in /sdcard instead of /sdcard2. That way you don't need an actual micro SD card handy to recalibrate your screen. :)
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Skempo - there was a change in TNT Lite v3.0 where it now looks for calibration.ini on /sdcard instead. Try putting it there and see if that works better for you. :)
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
How do I repartition the sdcard?
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
Thanks for all the help. I finally got the USB file transfer turned on, copied the calibration.ini over rebooted, and the response on the screen is much much better. I actually feel much better about thei tablet now.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Sorry about any confusion I might've caused w/comment about sdcard2 :(.

Having said that, he should make sure the filename is all lower case right?

Jim
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
I was experiencing similar things with the VEGAN build. I read in one of the threads to partition my device. So I did and wow! Does it perform super fast now! And its been almost a week! :eek:
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
OK, I ask again, how do I partition the sdcard?
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Calibration issues

Please se this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882577

I had the same kinds of problems and several people helped me.

On a new G Tablet that does not have any mods, you can just create an empty file called claibration.ini (I used Windows Notepad) and copy it to a micro sd card. Then you place the micro sd card into the G Tablet's SD card 2 slot and then power up the G Tablet. Leave the G Tablet flat on the table and don't touch the screen while it boots.

There is also a link to another post with other examples of how to make this work wit tnt lite, although, I did not have to use it because my G Tablet is stock.

I had called Viewsonic Tech Support because I thought the screen was going dead. They gave me a phone number to send it in for repair. No wonder why so many of these were returned to Staples (and Sears).

My G Tablet worked OK the first day. However, by day two the entire top half of the screen would no longer respond to touch at all. The simple step of putting an empty file on the root directory of the Micro Sd Card (SDcard 2) and rebooting was all that was needed. Also, you only need to power on and you don't need to hold the volume up key. Just boot as normal and don't touch the tablet.

I know this was long winded, but I really hope it helps someone else the way the other responders helped me. This would be a good procedure for the FAQs or a sticky. Thanks.

Slow down after sleep

I've been seeing this and wondering what was going on... Is the issue documented anywhere?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sylpheed:
Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone else have this problem also.

When i'm syncing my phone, my entire phone would slow down (kinda like slow to response or hang for awhile..)

Is this normal for others too?

Things i'm syncing

1. Google Mail

2. contacts

3. Calendars

4. Facebook

5. Some other small misc stuff

I don't have a very large group of contacts.. just about 300-400.. facebook friends is even smaller.. but i'm quite surprise that sync causes my phone to slow down significantly.

Anyone having this problem also?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
Absolutely, its been a well documented problem for most of the builds. Not sure if there is a work around for this. I tend to keep my auto sync off and all others at 2h interval sync. Works for saving battery life too. :)

Guys, can someone tell me what i'm missing? I followed this guide to root and S-OFF my phone, but just now i realized that i have no write access to /system partition. It isn't very important for me, since i'm flashing only rooted ROMs and when i need to gain write access to /system partition - i'm rebooting into CW Recovery, but... It would be handy to have it anyway :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScooterG:
Did you verify that you have root? Use the Android Terminal Emulator, type su and if you get a #, you're good to go. If you do have root, just use Root Explorer and hit the R/W button while in the system folder.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllWin:
Yes, i'm getting root permissions here.

When i press mount as R/W, nothing happens and i can't make any changes in /system partition.

Also, i tried Font Changer Lite (from Market), but i'm getting message:

"Write access for the system partition was not established on your device and therefore this application will have to be closed.

Please make sure your device has full root before you try again"

Am i missing something? Thanks for quick reply btw.

1. adb shell

3. exit
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
"mount -o rw,remount /system" should work too.

(you need to mount /system specifically as rw, by default it's still mounted read-only even if you have root/S-OFF)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyDone:
Or simply:

adb remount

After that is fixed, and it creates the correct MAC.tree.xml file, check logcat to see whats going on. If you are getting invalid private key, your RSA keys are fooked. Restore a nandroid with AmonRa 1.80 to restore your keys and you should be ok.

This is typically caused by losing power during radio update (ie pulling the battery when it is still writing)

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Nokser:
This is a only optional function, because next step reloc file/module, but if you see in this program (in 3 tab) red lines, thn u must correct address

Example:

if select imgfs, have u address 03EFE000, and red line in up, then correct addr to 03EFF000, and next..
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Aitrus:
how do i find this out. im a noob i start cooking last week.

when i say i dont know how to use this tool, i mean what buttons do i press?

SEL Work Folder... what folder do i open with this one?

SEL Ref. Folder... this one i open the Old_XIP OUT folder right?

and then how do i make the red lines go away if there is any?

if i skip "Optional Step ---> XIPAddrTools" then flash my rom. my rom wont boot.

if you could explain the XIPAddrTools part in a step by step guide for me that would be great, or maybe make a short video.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] EVEALEX62:
Very good works my friend ;-)

(Mangasora have do similar program too. ... What Is differents?)

[Q] I cannot boot EURO Tab anymore. Always landed into Android system recovery <3e>

Hallo all. I've been searching this forum for solution and I've not found any. My GTab cannot boot normal any more. Every time it lands into Android system recovery <3e>. Please help me. I'm really frustrated.

How it started:

I ran ROM Manager to check whether there is support for EURO Tab (no supprot yet). Then from inside ROM Manager I booted into recovery to do a nandroid backup. Unfortunately no nandroid is there. When I did reboot GTab cannot start anymore. Everytime I boot I land into Android system recovery <3e>. Booting into downloading mode is also not possible. I've tried many times. GTab only boot into recovery <3e>.

I have Galaxy Tab EURO, rooted, updated to JM6.
[Galaxy Tab General] Landroid:
hello!

have you flashed the international kernel before? if u did so and u want to revert all, u can flash with heimdall a stock kernel and a stock secondary bootloader (boot.bin and sbl.bin) from JM6! maybe u need to reflash the whole firmware with heimdall or Odin, whatever u like better!
[Galaxy Tab General] slaia:
Thanks for reply. Actually I did flash the EURO ROM three weeks ago. I did nothing recently. I only booted into recovery via ROM Manager and since then GTab cannot boot normally.

I tried Odin already, but no success, because I cannot switch into downloading mode, but recovery. I tried with adb shell, and cannot find the directory /data.
[Galaxy Tab General] chrleesha:
I have rooted and flashed the EURO ROM on my Gtab as well; and I am having the same problem finding a ClockworkMod version compatible with this ROM. I've tried AT&T, TMobile, and Verizon versions of ClockworkMod. I preordered from UK, so I didn't expect any to work, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Anyway, I run into a similar problem as you on reboot. I get to system recovery and it "sticks". However, if I press the HOME key a few times, it will reboot normally.

Still no recovery, still no nand, but at least the Gtab is functioning. I guess I just wait on a EURO version of recovery.
[G Tablet General] trevoc:
I am sorry I am such a newbie, but I couldn't find the answer by searching.
