[Galaxy Tab General] KarlMarsh:
What version of firmware did your Tab come back with?

What method did you attempt to enable side loading?

I find this very hard to believe because every single ATT Android device to date has been able to side load after a simple 1 bit edit of the device settings db.

I believe that you had problems with the SuperOneClick app but there is a much cleaner / safer way to do it.
[Galaxy Tab General] agentdr8:
I don't believe my ATT SGT came with a protected bootloader, and if I'm not mistaken, AT&T hasn't released any firmware updates via KIES or OTA. So while there's always the possibility of Samsung "screwing" us all with that mess, it's only been seen on the leaked firmwares. Not that I don't put it past the big blue DeathStar to opt to use something like that to prevent people from avoiding their preloaded garbage....

I'm happy I liberated my device from the clutches of the Evil Empire, and will gladly look to XDA for my future upgrade paths.

Hey everyone. I have been searching to no avail and was wondering if maybe someone can help. I'm using a pretty much stock rom, just rooted, and running adw EX. I know there are gingerbread themes for CM6.1, which change the notification bar icons and all to green, but I have yet to see one for a sense rom. Even the ADW themes dont change the notification bar (unless I'm missing something?) Can someone out there point me in the right direction if there is one? Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TheWizKid95:
I was working on one, but my laptop completely broke down :/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
I made one that I am using on my phone right now with Wes's Z rom, but I can't for the life of me change the 3g icon to anything, it always remains the stock icon. Everything else is Gingerbread themed though. Apparently Wes is making one as well, I am asking him how he changed the 3g icon (if he was able to) so that I can finish mine. I did, however, incorporate DarkTharen's Conservative icons into my status bar, so the only Gingerbread icons in my status bar are the usuals (reception bars, battery [with percentage], and WiFi).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
I'm really bummed about that too. Been running your theme for a while and I love it. I wish I could toss some coin into your computer fund, but I don't have it at the moment :(

[G Tablet General] vsc:
That is a good deal with the dock as the best price right now for the dock is $45.
[G Tablet General] BigJohn89:
Is it Sears themselves that is selling the dock, or is Viewsonic sending one out after purchase?

Just curious, as I haven't seen the dock at any Sears store I've been to lately.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
From what I posted, it looks like the latter.

[G Tablet General] hammermedia:
Rebate Form for dock

The rebate form says Jan 2nd through the 8th. They do have a 14 day price guarantee so if you bought in the last couple of weeks you should get the lower price.
[G Tablet General] nascardudette:
Where did you find $379 price a/o 1/2/11

I looked at Sears . com and it still shows $399 w/ rebate for dock.

Can you advise?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
When I tried earlier this morning, I searched for Viewsonic, and the search results showed 399. When I clicked on the item to go to the product page, it showed 379.

Jim
[G Tablet General] nascardudette:
Found $379

that is weird, from google search to sears = $379

from sears . com direct = $399

Thanks .. still don't know if I will take the plunge, I am like everyone else on the fence with CES pending.

It comes down to HOW BAD DO I WANT ONE NOW .. am I willing to wait 3 mos+

Appreciate all the posts on this sight!
[G Tablet General] craigwillie:
FYI-

Those of us that got in on the "free dock" rebate at Sears on Thanksgiving are now being asked to pay $10.50 shipping &handling. If it is the same rebate it is through US Merchants not Sears.
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
I ordered mine on 1/1/11, do i get a free dock?
[G Tablet General] sixvoltsystem:
Just sent mine as well, will let everyone know what happens.
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
I guess you could always order one from sears - and then just return it. cut your UPC and send in that receipt? or will they check against stock?
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
UPC is the same on all boxes.... No serial numer on the boxes, so you could just return it unopened. You can't return a box without a UPC code, they do check for that, so you would have to have your old box.
[G Tablet General] ellis125:
Yeah if i irdered mine on 12/30 will i be able to get this?? Im gunna try calling later
[G Tablet General] cmontano510:
okay i bought it 12/01 can i still get the dock????
[G Tablet General] aaron19953:
serial number is above the upc code.. not that anyone at sears is gonna look though
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
Right, but if you return the new one, the receipt doesnt have a serial number so as long as you have a reciept dated 1/2-1/8 + any UPC/Serial, your golden
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
Sorry - you are correct. I didn't see it. But i would not count on them not looking. Just return the new one as mentioned....
[G Tablet General] aaltieri:
Silly thought, mayhaps...

But it says a "COPY" of the UPC symbol. Every other rebate I've had has said specifically to send the UPC from the box or to cut out the UPC, etc...

If you can just send in a copy, you don't really need to cut the box or swap boxes or anything of that nature at all.

I would think, anyway.

[G Tablet General] dckapic:
Rebate information...

Given all of the work the developers have been doing it is nice to be able to add a small contirbution!

I just called the rebate company. Told them I bought my VTab before Christmas and could return it and repurchase it today to qualify for the rebate. I was told that they would honor VTablets purchased from Sears prior to the offer. That I did not need to return it and repurchase to qualify for the rebate. They said they would honor it with my original purchase date.

There are two rebate forms. One on Sears.com that Sears created in-house. The lady at US Merchants (rebate company) said the Sears form forgot to note the $10.50 shipping and handling fee that is required. She said to fill out the rebate as outlined, include copies of your receipt, UPC, etc. and a check for $10.50 (made out to US Merchants) and they will send you a docking station.

I have attached the other rebate form that was origninally made up by US Merchants and can be found on the Sears online rebate site. You can avoid the hassle and just use the one attached.

Hope this helps! Great deal for everyone. BTW - I was just out on Sears.com and the price listed = $379. I'm loving my VTab! Thanks to everyone on this site - especially the developers! You ROCK!!!
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I bought my g-tablet on 11/02/10 (one of the first!). Does this mean I can apply for the rebate too?

I would pay the $10.50 for a dock, in a heartbeat. Not like those whiners in the other rebate thread. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] dezufnoC:
Thanks for the updated info. I purchased mine from Sears the Wednesday b4 Xmas....sending my rebate form out tonight. :D:D:D:D
[G Tablet General] dckapic:
Personally I would fill out the rebate and send in a check. Worst thing that can happen is that they will send the check back. Best result = they send you a DOCK!!! I'm betting you get the dock.
[G Tablet General] fmdaddy:
I called the rebate company yesterday to ask about the UPC symbol, whether they needed an original or not. Here's what I found out:

The rebate form says once that you can send a copy, and twice that you must send the original. The rep from US Merchants (the rebate people) says that you can send a copy. The other text wasn't updated properly.

She also informed me of the $10.50 fee. I told her that that sucks, and she agreed it was unfortunate. She also said that she heard the Sears was reimbursing people for that. Not sure what the right mechanism for that is...you probably have to go yell at a manager at a store.

I am reserving judgement for the gTab. The stock UI w/update still sucks and is unstable. I don't want to dive in with a new ROM, because I'm hoping for the "mid-January" update fixing things. If Viewsonic doesn't step up, then I'll see what CES has to offer and maybe take it back. And maybe I'll have to yell at a manager to waive the restocking fee.
[G Tablet General] aaltieri:
Thanks for checking this out for us. This is great info.

As for the restocking fee, I asked the guy before I even bought it, given the reviews the software had. He told me that all the guys who sell the tablet know how bad the software is, so if I returned it, there wouldn't be a restocking fee. He did warn me though to reflash the original rom back on to it before returning (duh). That sounds like it won't apply to you as you mentioned not flashing a new rom anyway. But the guy I spoke to here locally said they'd already had a few returned because the software is so bad. Just tell them the software doesn't work.

On a related note, here locally, the sears just has a cardboard replica of the tablet on display. There isn't a live unit. One person told me they wouldn't have any returns if they did have live unit "because the software is so bad, no one would have bought them in the first place!"

So I doubt returning will be a problem.

It's a shame too. Far as I'm concerned, the devs here should be getting royalties or something. The only reason people seem to buy this tablet is to drop a new rom on it.

--mop
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
I bought mine 12/30 for $379 - when i bought it asked the guy about returns and he said there is a restocking fee unless it is defective - he said you could just say something didn't work and they would not check... no restocking fee.

Now, I went back today with my receipt from 12/30 and showed them the rebate, the lady returned my old receipt and re-rang at the new price and a rebate receipt printed out, BUT here is the kicker:

The POS (point of sale) rebate form does not have #4 (like the sears pop up rebate) - no mention of a charge for the dock.

So do i send it in and no money, or do use the other form and send the $10?
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I disagree.

I have NEVER had any problems with stability, not even with the original UI. And the updates have made this unit even better. You can now just switch to a stock Android UI.
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
I agree - updated Stock runs well - I added the market and so far so good.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I was just checking the Sears web site. It looks like the offer for a free dock has been removed. There is still a "Rebate" link, but it no longer leads to the rebate form.
[G Tablet General] kwoodyusa:
Does this unit have GPS?
[G Tablet General] aaron19953:
seriously ??

facepalm
[G Tablet General] gizmonic:
call sears cust service. I did and ordered it through them for 379- them picked it up at my local store.:)
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Sears web site currently lists it for $379.99. It just seems that they have removed the rebate offer.

I just ordered the dock from Merrimobiles. It cost $49, but at least I can be (somewhat) sure of getting it.
[G Tablet General] kwoodyusa:
Yes sorry for the dumb post I hit submit without completing the statment. Sorry for this. I was reading on another forum about someone using it for Nav. So for a minute I was confused. He must be sharing the GPS from his phone.

red spot on forehead from facepalm.
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
The rebate is still there, but they removed the link to the form that is missing the shipping charge... go to:

https://www.mysearsrebate.com/rebatecenter.htm

Click on "search for offers"

Select "electronics" in the drop down

And the only current rebate is the VS dock - this is the form that has a step #4 that says "Enclose check or money order for shipping and handling payable to US Merchants in the amount of $10.50." The one they removed (and the one that printed from the cash register) omits this.

Bought my tab on 12/12 and took my receipt in today, 1/6. Customer service rep just returned and and reentered my puchase. Out came new receipt and a rebate. I called tbe rebate company and she said just fill it out and send 10.50. Ill take a dock for 10.50 versus 45.
[G Tablet General] argentumomaha:
I ordered mine on Dec 30th and got it on Jan 5th. So, if I send the coupon and the $10,50 check, do you think they will still honor the promotion, when it says Jan 2 - 8 purchase date?

Should I return and purchase again to get an updated receipt? Or just try with the current receipt?
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
did she say if you needed to cut the UPC code, or just scan it?
[G Tablet General] argentumomaha:
I've just came back from Sears. The customer service rep returned and reentered the purchase and it came out with the rebate receipt. It does not say anything about sending $10.50 but I'll send it just in case. The customer service rep owns one himself and he did not know about the rebate! Now he's doing one for himself! Thanks to the awesome people in this forum for sharing this information. I hope I can return the favor in some way.
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
The rebate receipt that the cash register spits out is wrong.. it is missing step 4 that says to send in 10.50
[G Tablet General] alphadog00:
I just called. The lady said that a copy of the UPC is sufficient, no need to cut the box.

I scanned and printed.

Nice to talk to a real person.
[G Tablet General] stellarchaser:
I read in the rebate form that "along with your rebate receipt or the original sales receipt showing the qualifying model purchased and purchase date". My case is that I ordered the tablet last Dec 25 and just pick it up in store on Jan 5, but the problem is I got no receipt from sears at all... Can I go back to the store and ask them for it? Thanks...
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Online order?

Did you order online and pickup at store? I did this and I called and was told to send a printout of the Email confirmation I recieved for my order and that would do. I was also told that I can get in on the rebate, as I purchased my tab on the 30th of Dec. I sent my rebate off today....
[G Tablet General] MikeTheSith200:
Sent mine in today. It's bullcrap that they don't mention the s&h fee on the rebate anywhere. I bet a lot of ppl sent it without a check and are going to get screwed.
[G Tablet General] craigwillie:
I see that US Merchants cashed my $10.50 check on 01/06, so hopefully I'll see the dock soon.
[G Tablet General] sixvoltsystem:
I got my Gtab on Dec 22 ( my birthday present form my wife ) sent in the rebate on January 3rd and just got a envelope in the mail from US Merchants....telling me that I have to send them a check or money order for $10.50. I will send it in tomorrow and let you know.
[G Tablet General] stellarchaser:
thanks for the info. I'll do the same and hope it works...
[G Tablet General] aaltieri:
Has anyone taken that letter into Sears to see what they say about the $10.50?
[G Tablet General] pcassaro:
I tried calling the Sears 800 #. Whatever you do don't do that. Talk about frustration! However, when I called the store where I bought it and spoke to someone in the electronics dept, they checked my order by looking up my phone number and said they would do a price adjustment. I got a check about a week later for 10.50 + tax.
[G Tablet General] dezufnoC:
Has anyone received their dock yet? I noticed my check was cashed and am now anxiosly awaiting. I also purchased one from mermimobiles so I'll have one for work and one for home but as of today I have nothing....
[G Tablet General] yzf600:
I saw my check was cashed on Jan 14th for my dock as well. I bought mine gtab back around the 3rd week of December, but based upon a post here that said they would honor the dock rebate form I submitted one. I kinda felt like it was a long shot, but it's encouraging they actually cashed my check.
[G Tablet General] fmdaddy:
Usmerchants actually called me last week AND sent me a letter asking for a copy of the sales receipt (as opposed to the Sears-provided rebate receipt). I was impressed with their followup (I had already mailed the rest with the handling fee.)

Hopefully the dock is as nice as the lady on the phone.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Back ordered

I called and asked about the dock I sent in for and was told they are back ordered and will not ship for a month. I called on the 20th.....
[G Tablet General] stellarchaser:
1 month passed, any news?
[G Tablet General] skeeterpro:
Yes, US Merchants sounds like they "care" and do follow-up (I got a call back....amazing!). If you take advantage of the rebate offer (and it is IMHO a pretty good deal) be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. The wait some more. Been well over a month and a half for me and still nada.

You decide ! ...i have an usage of sdcard for Photos , videos , downloads, etc etc... maybe i tell true...you should test it ...you will see better battery life i think....
