I took a look at my various connectors I had lying around and it looks like the PSP connector fits. Its the older model PSP and it's center positive like the gtab. I have an iGo as well but my model only goes up to 9V and 1.5A so I can't test, its model 23-1401. Hope that helps.

iGo Netbook Charger in Office Depot Clearance

I found my local Office Depot had the iGo Netbook Charger in the clearance section for $9.99 which contains the 212 tip that fits the G Tablet. I've tested it out and it charges the tablet. It features a USB plug to charge from for other devices.
[G Tablet Accessories] TheZuneLune:
ever mind.wrong thread :)
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Such an excellent find for US buyers.

This is the basically the same wall unit selling at it2steve's (+ and additional auto/air cables).

http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_12&products_id=4

The least I could find this on ebay was $23 (shipped) the wall version is $16 (shipped).

Just ordered one,

Thank you again,

IGO tip for Viewsonic MORE INFO NEEDED

OK, So I have an old 130w IGO, and the 212 tip only fits the 90w version (I need what is called an S series tip)... anyone figured out which of them it is? I would like to not have another cord and transformer to carry around..
[G Tablet Accessories] terrypchan:
Warning about the iGo 212 tip

According to my digital multimeter the iGo 212 tip is NOT the correct tip to use for our G-tabs. The 212 tip according to the iGo charts is for HP and Compaq laptops and they most likely use 19V DC, which is also what my meter says that tip is outputting.

Our G-tabs require 12V DC and you are seriously going to mess it up by using the iGo 212 tip when it is outputting 19V DC.

My understanding of the iGo system of tips is that the different number tips are "smart" and not only provide the correct size connector, they also allow outputs of different voltages.

The iGo 401 tip on the same adapter outputs 12V DC which is what the Asus eeepc 1000 requires and the 401 tip states it is for the Asus eeepc netbooks. So the iGo adapter IS outputting different voltages when using different iGo tips.

Bottom line: DON'T use the 212 tip for your G-tab. The voltage output is WRONG!
[G Tablet Accessories] Bohemian:
The clearanced iGo that is being sold at Office Depot comes with 4 tips; 212, 207, 206, and 401

212 is 19v and fits

401 is 12v and is to big

206 is 19v and is to big

207 is 10v and is to big

I have run my g-tablet on the 212 for several days with no issues, but now knowing the voltage difference will stop using it.
[G Tablet Accessories] dsholler:
Tips for IGO

So where did you find out that this was an Eee PC tip? I have been trying to figure out how I can find the equivalent tip in the S series, (which is what fits my everywhere 130 transformer) and as far as I can tell, they do not publish the tip specs anyplace, nor do the people you call at their order line have any info on the specs. is there a place that the tip specs exist?
[G Tablet Accessories] terrypchan:
--------------------------------

The iGo 401 tip from the retail Netbook Charger set clearly states: 401 tip is for ASUS Eee PC 900 series, 1000 series, S101.

There is a pull-out sheet in the retail package that lists which adapters in the box work for which devices.

Other tips in this box include:

Tip 207 is for Acer Aspire One Series, Dell Inspiron Mini 9, 10, 12, Gateway LT 1000 series

Tip 206 is for Archos 10, Averatec Buddy, Computer Technology Link 2go PC, Everex Cloudbook, Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Series, LG X100 and X110 Series, MSI Wind U90, U100, U120 series, One Mini A400, Toshiba NB100 series.

Tip 212 is for Compaq Mini 700 series, HP Mini 1000 Series, Vivienne Tam Series

Hopefully this helps someone else.
[G Tablet Accessories] terrypchan:
Just got off the phone with iGo. They have no tip (yet) for Viewsonic g-tablet support. They are working on all tablets and plan to have tips available. G-tab support is on their current todo list, they said. When they do support the g-tab, the tip info will be available on their web page.

I also asked about support for the Kodak EasyShare SV710 picture frame, which has the same AC adapter that our g-tabs use, and they said they don't yet support any picture frames with their iGo tips.
[G Tablet Accessories] sharstad:
I need more posts to get to the marketplace.

Thinking about running to Office Depot to see what they have.
[G Tablet Accessories] Naysses:
What do you mean by "need more post to get to the marketplace"?
[G Tablet Accessories] soumikpal:
Thanks for posting this. I was going to grab one of these but will wait until there's an official tip or grab the buy.com one.

Just for curiosity's sake (since I know nothing about volatge) what does charging the 12V tab with 19V do? Is it just basically going to melt/fry things inside?
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Exactly, its strange that it wasn't done instantaneously.

Apparently such minor increase (50% more) is either within the tolerance limits of the device or it just being damaged gradually.

I think steve should post a disclaimer on his igo webstore page, because he is basically marketing it as a compatible power adapter which is questionable at the best.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Good calll.. Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] flyingspatula:
Great information. Thank you. I've been looking for power supply info for the gtab. Your post is very very helpful!
[G Tablet Accessories] pgstormblade:
When using any kind of power supply, the voltages should match or be within 10% of the required voltage to prevent damage to your systems. The other aspect of a power supply (Amperage or Miliamps MA) can be greater than that of the original without causing problems.

For example... You have an external USB DVD that has a power supply that was originally 12V 1.5Amps. That one got lost but you found one that has the same tip and positive voltage (12V) but provides 2.4Amps. This situation is fine because you CD will not draw more than 1.5Amps even thought the power supply can provide much more. The opposite is not true. You cannot use a power supply that provides fewer Amps than what the device is rated for, it will not work for the most part or will be flaky.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
The difference in voltage between the stock adapter and the igo tip is 50% :)
[G Tablet Accessories] drmac62:
I am using the Jensen Jen1700. It goes to 12 volt. I am not sure if the tip I am using came with it but I believe it is.

I got this at a local Electronic Surplus store so I am not sure what the availability is.
[G Tablet Accessories] theroblog.com:
Amps vs. Voltage

A lower Amp or Mah rating is fine for a CHARGER probably because it is just supplying the battery. If it's not enough to charge and run, the battery will slowly run down. But you're stressing the charger in that case, asking it for it's max output.

But it could work if you have an AC adapter lying about you don't care about, of which I have several.

Or if the device is fully charged, the AC adapter might be able to supply enough for it to run off, but not charge and run. Or you could turn the device off and just charge.

Most AC adapters would probably be fine if the device is off, and it's just being used to charge the battery.

As long as the voltage and polarity is OK. With a battery on board, the battery will supply any extra the device needs over what the AC adapter can provide.

the flaky statement is only true if the device uses a direct draw to operate on, i.e. no battery.

This is a bit simplified, but rebuttals are welcome.
[G2 and Desire Z General] coykiam:
hey guys searched but did not find the answer....

I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?

Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.

Thanks in advance all

SMS notification bug

Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
MMS slides

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

sometimes on websites there are those barcodes.

install a barcodereader app, take a picture and your phone does the rest.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] olivierlee:
Download a barcode reader app (I would recommend Barcode Scanner). Then run the app. This will start your camera, and you point to a barcode. Then just follow the decoded link.

hello, yesterday a friend give me his old tmobile g1. today when i power it on i went to setting to tunr on the wifi. but it does nt :'( aftes 5-6 secs it says unable to turn wifi on.

then i put a 1gb micro sd card in the slot, and the phone doesnt recognise it. it was like i hadnt put ever a sd card.

please i want your help/ what can i do to fix it?

it has android 1.6

thanks for your help!!!

if it was given to me this is what i'd try ...

go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727688&highlight=root

with this you have two options

1. if you want a good stable 1.6? do steps up until INSTALL CYANOGENMOD 6

2. you want more options and can put up with a SOME lag ... do it ALL!

either one MIGHT fix your problem
[G1 General] vasilis1993:
i cant do that, because i tryed 2-3 sd card, and the ohine didnt recognize none of them...
[G1 General] Infinimint:
This happened to my G1 as well, and if yours is anything like mine, then you can kiss wi-fi and microsd reading goodbye because they're gone. I took my whole phone apart and double checked everything and I can't find a reason. But here's a tip: When mine first stopped working I tried squeezing the bottom left of the phone (Or using an oversized paperclip to do it for me) and it worked for the most part (although it would often annoyingly press the call button) but it eventually completely stopped working. Good Luck. Hopefully it's not too late.
[Android Apps and Games] Togsy:
Hi guys i was thinking how useful Chrome to Phone is and the ease that it has brought me, and i was wondering if there is a similar app that will allow me to send files from my pc to my phone (and maybe vice versa but am not too bothered about that).

Rather than using bluetooth, maybe an app that you could just right click on the file and give an option to send to a phone over the internet.

Does anyone know of an app like that?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] rr3636:
Dropbox
[Android Apps and Games] Togsy:
yeah i have dropbox, but you cant right click on the file and send it to phone, you have to copy the file into the dropbox folder and then go onto the dropbox app on your phone then navigate to it and then download it.

Thanks, but i am looking for something that will immediately download it straight to my phone, just like chrome to phone does with websites
[Android Apps and Games] banks1359:
DROPBOX

I think dropbox is the best you're going to get...the only this that is quicker than dropbox is adb one the computer but that defeats the whole not having to plug in anything.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmcquinn:
There is also adbwireless (though not as user-friendly since you have to use the command line---there may be a script or something you can do to add the command to your right-click menu though). You can also run an FTP server on your phone using something like SwiFTP. Then just map your phone as a drive on your computer. Then it's just simple drag-and-drop.
[Android Apps and Games] Togsy:
well maybe if there arent any option it could be a great idea for a developer, i not being one, have no idea how to do that, but i think it could be a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
SugarSync lets you set up a folder that will automatically sync to your phone. It can be any directory you choose. Not quite as simple as chrome to phone but works similar to dropbox with 5GB free.
[Android Apps and Games] glasslung:
I use windows 7's built in bluetooth software to connect to an app called bluetooth file transfer on my phone. Of course, you need bluetooth hardware on you computer to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] Wobstar:
You could give WIFI Explorer a try. Connect your phone through WiFi and navigate to it's IP in your internet browser. You can upload/delete/copy/move files. Only disadvantage is that it's only for external storage access...

[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Samba File Sharing. Never used it myself, but heard good things.

There's also FileExpert. It can start a file server, that you browse to on your computer, then upload through an HTML form. (When started, it pops up the URL to use)

I usually use AndFTP, which requires me to have an ftp server running on my computer. All the browsing is then done from the phone.

Alternatively, SwiFTP is an ftp server for the phone - then you can run the client on your computer and browse from there.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
SwiFTP gets a big +1 from me: Two minutes set-up, and then whenever the App/WiFi is open, your phone is accessible as a shared drive: I'm using this for everything but 500mb+ video transfers. I can just drag and drop e-books/APKs/etc from folder to folder and they're instantly on my phone.

On a related topic: CIFSmanager is a great App to browse your PC files from your phone, and then copy/paste any over. I use both daily :)
[Android Apps and Games] phrozen87:
+1 on this app also. It's not perfect by any means but there have been dozens of times I have just forgotten my usb cable or simply needed quick access to push or pull something off my SD. It's really a pretty decent app and it does get the job done quickly. It has a free and pro so you could always check out the free and see if its like what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] willylatorre:
Without doubt the best solution is Awesome Drop

Chek it out, you won't regret it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
This works great in the way is as simple as write the 4 numbers code and drop the file to the PC browser, but it's slower as it uses the upload speed (uploads the file to somewhere), so for large files is slow. Wifi Explorer is much faster because uses the speed of the router (which is different from the ADSL speed). FTP is also very faster.

Hi,

I updated my Magic Vodafone to official froyo 2.2.1, but now I can't obtain root permission, because I rooted the phone with androot when magic had 1.6 on and before the update I not unrooted.

Now all programs like androot, one click root, z4root, can't root or unroot. Superuser is present but doesn't work and I don't know how to remove or make work.

Can anyone do this?

Or, can I downgrade to 1.6? if yes, how?

Thank you all.

EDIT: I used SuperOneClick
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] creative0100:
I had the same problem.

I was rooted on 1.6 and got the OTA update. I did a hard reset on the phone and ran superoneclick. I had to run it a few times before I got root again. main problem was it was on a loop so turning on and off the debug mode eventually worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] htcmagic:
superoneclick solves the root problem. But how do i get to the donut rom?

Tried adding a recovery but it does not stick with the 2.2.1, it reverts to the default one.

Aside from YouTube clips I've been trying to find sites where I can watch old TV shows since Hulu and Netflix don't work. I'm not very adventurous so I have the stock build though I did use the Market Update procedure I learned here to get Market now running (thanks to all of you dedicated guys who teach us about these great features :) And at this point I've spent hours customizing the apps and desktop to just the way I want them so I'm even less inclined to flash the GTab.

Am interested in learning of any sites or apps that you run to watch shows or movies on the stock build. I really hope Netflix comes out with Android support real soon.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks much.

NBC.com works

I have found that NBC.com works using the stock browser and the flash beta linked on viewsonics gtablet site. Does not work with Dolphin HD or Opera for some reason. I have noticed that flash in general always seems to work best in the stock browser. Though the NBC video is kind of jerky the audio is good....could just be my connection...it is watchable though!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doghead:
After trying thoughtlesskyle's fat free build for a month, I flashed my tilt back to WM. I appreciate many contributions of the cooks on the board and enjoyed using android (while it works).

The biggest problem for me is the stability: while android is much better in terms of speed and multilingual support, the software is not stable enough for daily use. I can live without video recording and bluetooth, even GPS; but rebooting twice a day, missing alarms or a phone call is too much.

I still kept android on the microsd and can boot it through haret, but I installed a barebone WM with working GPS and bluetooth. WM sucks when displaying non-latin characters, so I will go back to android when there is a stable build down the road.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Cool man have fun, thanks for making a thread for your problems and wish list instead of putting them in the fat free thread

If you ever want to help fix the problem its open source so there are plenty of ways to get involved

Also instead of jumping to froyo and assuming that every version of android was that way perhaps you should try myns warm donut on your SD he has a haret package, It was really stable when I used it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akaly:
Hello

I have the choice between the Desire Z and the Desire for the same price, but I can't decide on which one to get. I have tried both, and the Desire Z was really nice, but what concerns me is that the Z-hinge seemed like it could break a bit easy, and it also seemed a bit wobbly when the phone lay flat.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The Desire is almost a year older than the Z, with inferior CPU, GPU and RAM specs. For the same price, I'd say the Desire is not a real contender compared to the Z. I'd consider the Desire HD, if its available in your market and you don't like the keyboard on the Desire Z. Otherwise, just get over the keyboard design. Nobody has yet to break the hinge from normal usage, AFAIK. If the screen is wobbly with the keyboard open, its a defective unit. Mine is solid and doesn't move.
