tried different ports, also just tried a different computer. Still no luck.

I want to try to just flash a different rom through rom manager, but i dont wanna brick it. If the phone is messed up she can at least use it with her old rom.

Both phones on the same PC? I'm guessing the could be the cause of the problem. First off, I'd try connecting her phone using another computer. You might try a fresh boot on the PC and the phone.

Did you "mount the drive" which is done from the pull-down menu on the 'phone which comes up right after the USB cable is plugged in. If that does not come up, I'd guess the "two phones on one computer" might be the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proz0r:
Hello!

Today, I've tried cooking a ROM with the Android kitchen (link 1). I'm pretty new to anything that includes more than flashing a ROM or poking around in the /system/ directory. I am, however, a bit experienced with Linux.

So, today I was bored and tried to deodex and then port a Legend 2.2 stock ROM (link 2) to Hero using the kitchen built-in feature. For the source of Hero files I've used CM 6.1 final image. That went OK so I made a zip file. So my question is, can flashing that brick my phone beyond repairing it myself? I'm guessing no because that Legend ROM, as I've figured, doesn't have a radio.

And please, don't rip my throat out because it probably won't work and because I'm a newbie... I know that, but as I said, I'm bored.

And is there a failsafe of bricking that I can make?
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
I hope someone here can stear me in the right direction.

I have a TMOUS HD-2 with unlimited data and voice.

I want a TMOUS GT, how can I keep from paying for two accounts, i.e. my current HD-2 and the new GT.?

I want to use the GT for total cell and browsing and email.

TMOUS says I can get a partial upgrade now, or wait 3 more months and get a full upgrade.

Which is better, and does anyone think that TMOUS will release the voice/cell capabilities in 3 months.

Which way should I move forward in.?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] antwilliams72:
You will have to purchase unsubsidized.

The only way to have a TMO GT without two accounts right now, would be to purchase it unsubsidized. If you purchase it with your upgrade, you will have to pick up one of the two data plans that they offer.

There has been no information in regards to releasing the voice capabilities on the GT in the US market. You could always load a euro rom on it though, so you could get the voice capability.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
OK, sounds good, just a bit more then I wanted to pay for a TAB. but I know it is worth it.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I bought this Gtablet when my wife and I were out doing last minute Christmas shopping on Friday afternoon. No actual live unit on display or available at Sears so bought one based on hope. My first impressions were very mixed. It was painfully slow when I first booted it up while waiting for my wife who had gone into another store and I waited for her in the car (plugged in using inverter we carry with us). Later when we got home it downloaded the update and that helped the speed issue (but still sluggish) but I've run into all kinds of issues that have me ready to return this thing.

First thing I noticed is the number of times that apps force close on the GT including the browser built into the unit. That is about to drive me nuts but I discovered another even more major issue - for me. I planned to use this device to log into our webmail server when I'm travelling in order to get my mail. I can log into the webmail and I can bring up the mail but when I open a piece of email I cannot scroll the screen to read the entire email. I also have a Moto DX and I can read my email via web just fine on that (don't like it because of the small screen and keyboard). So, why does my DX work fine with our webmail client and the GT not work? I am clueless and ticked off.

I was going to return it today but my wife wants me to hold off and call Viewsonic support but I have my doubts that they will be of much help. So, I'm wondering if putting up a custom ROM might help because of using a different kernel?

I have a couple of weeks to return this but I want it either working or gone so I have a proposal. I'm new to Android and don't want to take the chance of bricking this and losing my money and I need this done quickly in order to make a decision. I"m willing to pay a modest fee for someone "KNOWLEDGEABLE" to possiby teamviewer into one of my machines to to root/rom this unit. There would absolutely have to be a return to stock method in case the new rom doesn't work either.

I have a Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit machine, Win 7 Prof. 64 bit and a Win XP 32 bit machine available to use. In reading through a number of threads here it seems that various iterations of Windows have issues with the drivers for this. You can PM me here.

Unless you mess around with the bootloader, you cant really brick it. Nobody has yet, and I doubt you would be the first.

Also I reccomend this:

It is like A lite eversoin of TNT lite. It speeds it upi while keeping it stockish.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Many of us understand your experience. Most of us acknowledge that the first software was not what it should have been.

I have a modded machine which is super. I have an OTA 3389 tablet which is more than acceptable.

From your comments, it sounds to me like your plan to return is the best course of action.

The G-Tablet can be a super machine, but not without some interest in working with and improving it on your part.

Sorry this is not better news. Maybe someone else will respond with a different idea.

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Yep, just check the dev forum for instructions on installing new custom firmware. I'd also recommend making sure that you install clockwork mod 0.8 to ease backup/restores.

...OTOH from what I've heard is that the new stock fw 3389 is quite a bit better than what it ships with. And from there you can add a few minor updates, rooting, maybe the performance pack, sideload some apps and possibly the market "fix" which might be good enough for you, but even then I'd really have to recommend installing clockwork mod simply for the ease of making an image of a nicely working modified system and then being able to restore that if something messes it up...

Tablet is really nice, stable, and fast once properly setup and it's not really too hard to do any of the above IF you FOLLOW the instructions and READ them ENTIRELY and the caveats BEFOREHAND.

Really it's almost plug and play...
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
Here's a trick that works for me: if I zoom in a little on the webmail page that I cannot scroll, after the zooming in I am able to scroll to view the entire email.

I guess that soon you'll find the lack of Copy/Paste. Apple was run out of town for this and Windows Phone 7 too. At least with the G Tablet the lack of Copy/Paste seems to be limited to the stock apps.

P.S. Here's the thread about winamp and sdcard2:

[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Ahead of the game.

Hi racedog, actually I think you are ahead of the game. You seem to have made a lot of progress if you bought this Christmas eve.

How did you get it to run in the parking lot of the mall on Christmas eve? Even with a power inverter for power, hoe did you get a WiFi connection?

So far my G Tablet is stock and I am over-all happy with it. However, after Viewsonics post that they won't be providing any support for swapping the LCD screen, I feel they are missing the point. Their post said they would be anouncing some new products soon (my guess is at CES right after the first of the year).

I might end up taking my G Tablet back to Sears and waiting for the newer, more powerful and maybe more promising second generation tablets I am sure are to come at CES.

This tablet has been fun and I may keep it, but, I would really like to know the price points on the new models at CES.
[G Tablet General] maxxgraphix:
Sucks out of the box.

Erase it and start over.

Load Clockwork Recovery Mod first! Put the update.zip on the sdcard, don't worry about the external SD method.

Once you have that boot mod, it's next to impossible to screw it up.

Flash that then get TNT lite 3.1.0 plus the supplement

Make sure you format the SDCARD using the advanced menu 2048 and 0 swap r it will crash on ya.

Do the full market fix. Download Dolphin HD and you will have a very usable tablet.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I will be doing the clockwork mod and putting on a new rom. The question is about formatting the card. You mention above used "advanced menu 2048", I don't know where I would find that on android on the G, or are you referring to something else?

I didn't get it connected while in the car, I just had it plugged in so that I could take a look at it and start putting a charge on it. I didn't connect until I got home. However, I DID try connecting it in the car using my Moto DX with wireless tether. The dx showed that it was running but the G never found the signal from the phone. It did see a few other secured wifi connections but it didn't see the phone. I have no idea whether this was because I don't have wifi tethering setup correctly on the DX or what the deal is but I figured I would work with that later.

I don't really care if I have to tether via usb with the phone but wifi is a lot cleaner and easier if possible. I know that easy tether and pdanet are out there but I haven't checked to see if they have an android client yet, I've only used them on my Win 7 netbook.

[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Offer is still open on IRC
[G Tablet General] joelbon:
I found that the stock rom cannot use ad-hoc networks. I had to use the hack for the 3G Hotspot app on the DX to get it working on the Gtab. Once I upgraded to TnT lite than I was able to use Wireless Tether and stopped getting all the drops and reconnects too.

I really think that you will be happy with this as soon as you mod it with what's here in this community. I have only been here for less than a week and have found answers to all my questions. Good luck.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I appreciate the offer but because of the holidays I won't be able to take you up on it until probably Tuesday, maybe tomorrow Monday if I get REALLY lucky. I going to be trying to do as much as I can myself until them.

I wondered if the problem might be that the stock rom did not recognize ad hoc networks because I looked for the option to select it and it was not there. Thanks for that info.

R
[G Tablet General] racedog:
Forgot, the winamp solution didn't work. I selected the mount option in winamp but it did nothing. I will get back to this issue once I get the greater issue of the rom and wifi connect to my phone fixed. Those are the real biggies that need fixing first.

R
[G Tablet General] racedog:
Thanks to rothnic this new G has CWM installed and tnt like running on it along with Market and other apps that I've downloaded from it. What a huge difference this makes, my constant FC's seem to have stopped happening and I am now very happy with this unit. What a world of difference.

The screen is still a major issue but I can live with it (for now, will keep watching the screen swapping thread) but the device is fast, functional and completely usable whereas 24 hours ago I was set to return it to Sears but my wife talked me out of that and to try fixing it.

Again, special thanks to rothnic for all the "above and beyond" help and patience and also to all of the Gtab community here for the help and suggestions.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Here's a link that explains the differences, but basically DesireHD is almost exactly like the HD2...if has a 4.3" screen and similar body style. The DesireZ has a 3.7" screen and a slide out keyboard. Both Android versions are basically the same, though. At least in my experience with the MDJ DesireHD and the dandiest DesireZ builds, I see no difference other than the dandiest build being faster and smoother and almost perfect.

DesireHD vs. DesireZ

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frostmore:
dan's desire z build is faster coz its overclocked.

you'll need to do a side by side comparison on both being overclocked to the same speed to really see.

that being said,i've tried dan's build.its smooth and faster.less glitchy.but i didn't overclock mdj's DHD build,so i cannot say for sure if it will be the same on the same clockspeed.

I've had a similar problem. Did you flash your phone with JPA or similar?

I was able to flash mine again with JPB, to be more precise I used the pre-rooted custom rom with can be found in the development section.

Start Odin, then select the options you need (one package, tar file etc). Turn on the phone in download mode, and flash it before Odin says 'disconnected' or something.

if you did not flash your phone, I would recommend against trying this.

Hi,

I currently have XXJPY installed (stock), and I have one question:

Why the call answer interface looks like stock android? it doesn't match the TouchWiz UI.

Instead in the Galaxy S video that is included in JPY firmware, you see that it shows a different call answer interface.

I am talking about the call answer interface, not the one that shows after you answer a call. i'm talking about when somebody rings you have 2 options: sweep left thingy to answer and sweep right thingy to decline.

in Galaxy S TouchWiz UI it's the same as AOSP android for me.

Is there anyway to change this to a fancier/TouchWiz UI?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] procarion:
I can make calls anywhere, no problem.

But my parents, sister, step-parents and grandparents do not have video-capable cellphones. Or their contracts do not include a data flatrate which would be necessary for video telephony.

As I mentioned earlier;

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/24/skype-finally-bringing-video-calling-to-mobile/

its for the Isheep... but hopefully we might get lucky. Sadly, this will be heavily carrier dependant. As long as they get a version out, I am confident the community here will get a working apk for any platform working and with 3G too.

I currently use Skype that has been hacked to work with 3G data (and even works with EDGE speeds). However, before Skype released their latest version, there were many apks that just didnt work. They either only worked for Skypeout in the US or was setup to work on particular networks. I am a happy camper now though. Just need a video app just like you do.
