Yeah, if you let it boot loop too long it'll hard boot, which is where the phone cuts off completely. That has happened to me, and it ruins apps.

Hi

I just bought cellphone with android 1.6 ( Nexian Journey A890 )

until now i can't receive file that sent from another cellphone ( i tried from Nokia, samsung )

i had downloaded Bluetooth File transfer, and when i turned it on, it said something like "i only can received cellphone that use bluetooth explorer, but i can't received from another cellphone because i don't have root access"

i had tried use Z4Root and it just the same. What should i do ?

thanks

WickedStyx has modifed the official XBMC remote app for the Viewsonic Tab so that it scales to the full screen. The GTab is a smaller screen than the SGT, but the app still now seems to scale to the full screen and looks much better!

Go grab it from his thread over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878016!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Very nice indeed. Controlling your xbmc from your Tab or phone is quite a neat party piece. However, as everyday solution, a standard IR remote with real buttons is far superior. 90% of the time I use the remote, I don't look at it, but rather find the correct button by touch.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
The media PC in the lounge has an IR interface and is mapped to a Logitech harmony remote so I can use that to control XBMC. The PC in my room however doesn't have any IR (trying to get 3rd party IR interface working in OS X = hopeless). So I use XBMC remote on my tab or my Nexus-One instead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _allstar:
I decided to try and root my phone tonight.

I was successful in rooting my Captivate, and got root access.

I was able to fully access the recovery menu by pressing the power, vol up and down keys.

I messed up by installing Nero for the Vibrant on my Captivate, and things started acting weird on my phone. Vol -/+ were going opposite ways, and menus would not load in the right direction.

I decided that I needed to get a rom that worked with a Captivate, so I hooked everything back up and ran Odin again (I believe this was a mistake).

From here, I was going to give myself root access again, and flash with a new rom.

Every since I ran Odin, which installed Eclair 2.1 back on my phone -- I can not get into the recovery menu, therefore I can not get root/install the roms.

Please help

Thanks

I was able to successfully get in recovery mode with ADB.

I will post more if I run into any other problems.

Thank you !!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlassButrFly:
_allstar, Can you post directions for how to use ADB to get into recovery? I have a similar situation as you, where I cannot get into recover or download after flashing stock with Odin. I can't seem to figure out what to do with ADB. Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nechalo:
I am having this same problem after one click odin and master clear (back at JF6). I tried to do the 3 button fix which is part of the quide bobbylx posted but one step is to flash with ROM manager. I can't do this now that I'm back at stock (no root access!) The step that I'm stuck at within http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364 is re-rooting my phone.

How exactly do I get into recovery or flash if I am not rooted?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Have you ever been rooted and had Clockwork recovery installed? If so you should already have the update.zip on your phone. Just boot into stock recovery and choose Reinstall Packages, the phone reboots into stock recovery again, then choose Reinstall Packages a second time. This time you will be in Clockwork.

If you don't have the update.zip, I posted it before in another thread here

Also, if you do root or install a custom ROM, which by the rooting is not needed to install custom roms, here's a tip. After you download and install ROM manager and install clockwork, you will always have the update.zip on your internal SD card. But if you somehow delete update.zip, then go to MyFiles file browser, and in the folder Clcokworkmod, there is a file called recovery-update.zip. If you take it and copy it to the root of your SDcard and rename it update.zip that is the clockwork installer.

Just use ADB to reboot into recovery if you haven't rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _allstar:
Yes. You need to install the ADB package on your computer. Google "Download the Android SDK" and download the android-sdk_r08-windows.zip (I can't post links yet) , unzip to your root directory (C:\ on windows) and then run the .exe in the zip. It will download updates for the program.

This took me some time, and research to figure out. I was sitting helpless for about 2-3 hours not able to boot into recovery.

Once you get ADB installed, open command prompt and goto your directory that it is in, for example this is what my DOS prompt looks like:

C:\Users\Danny> cd c:\

C:\> cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

(make sure your phone is plugged in, turned on, and on Debug mode, then execute this command)

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb.exe reboot recovery

Your phone will reboot into recovery mode via command prompt

Hope this helps. It took me awhile to figure out, but I'm very glad I know now.

;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlassButrFly:
THANK YOU! For me, I had to use the following commands:

C:\Users\[username]>cd android-sdk-windows

C:\Users\[username]\android-sdk-windows\tools>cd tools

C:\Users\[username]\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb.exe reboot recovery

It rebooted directly into recovery and I was able to flash back to the rom I was using previously, which is where I will stay, probably indefinitely. Seems my phone does not take well to flashing. lol But this is so much better than being stuck with Stock Eclair, so thank you very much! :)

[G Tablet General] .mak:
Alright, short and sweet;

I'm in the market for a Tablet - this will be my first, although I'm not new to smartphones/android - and I'd decided to get the G-Tablet.. until I read about the Motorola Xoom.

I like how clean the Xoom looks, how thin it is and how small the frame around the display is. I also like that it's a Motorola product, meaning there will probably be an abundance of spare parts on ebay in the following months should I need a digitizer or what have you. I don't like that I'll probably have to wait to root and modify - judging it based on Motorola's recent history with Android devices and how well they're locked down.

I like the hardware and hackability of the G-Tablet, and the fact that I can pick one up tomorrow at-will. Is there any reason NOT to get the G-Tablet right now?! This tablet will need to last me until around Christmas.

So, in your opinions, throw some pros and cons at me and lets decide which route I should go.. G-Tablet or Xoom (once it's out).
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I think the biggest pro would be...it'll be a lot cheaper than the Xoom. Aside from a better screen, camera, and form factor...the gtablet should be up to par with the Xoom.

I'm pretty sure that the Gtablet will get honeycomb so it should keep the device fresh. I think it'll last you til next Xmas but I'm sure temptations to ditch the gtab will be abundant next year.
[G Tablet General] .mak:
Yea the price-point for the xoom, I'm guessing, will be on par with the Galaxy Tab, if not slightly more, which would put it out of my price range.

Hows the display on the Gtablet? I've heard mixed reviews.. but I'd expect alot of viewsonic.. pics would be great if anyone has any.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
The screen isn't so great on the gtablet, but if you are mostly using it from straight on it isn't a problem.

As for the Xoom, I think I'm going to be looking at other tablets. Viewsonic is supposed to release a newer tegra 2 tablet at the end of the first quarter, which looks design-wise more like the Xoom.

I would maybe, maybe get another motorolla phone to replace my droid x because it is something I rely on and don't modify it that much. However, I would never buy a locked down motorolla tablet. And worse yet, I've heard the locking down is only going to get worse with them. It's too bad because they make nice hardware.
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
I agree. Locked down=deal breaker. If you want to go locked down why not go ipad?

The screen on the gtab is fine for my needs (but who wouldnt prefer "better").

The developer support for gtab seems top notch and it will get better by the month for at least six months to a year. With any thing too locked down what started out as better than a competiting device could easily be getting its a$$ handed to it by said device 4 months later.
[G Tablet General] vsc:
I think with CES in the first week of this year you will have a number of announcements of tablets, where I expect shipments by mid-year. I for one don't want a tablet with a data plan and I believe the Motorola will ship with a cellular data modem which will drive higher cost, carrier ties, etc.

The Acer tablets look interesting, but from the pictures on the web it isn't clear if their displays are any better.
[G Tablet General] BigJohn89:
I would have to agree, part of the reason why I went with a G-Tablet was because I don't want any type of cellular support. That's why I have a cell phone with hotspot capabilities.

After seeing what the folks here have been able to do with the tablet, especially after going Vegan, this thing is simply amazing. The fact that even Viewsonic even recognizes (in a roundabout way), on their own site, the work that is being done here is "icing on the cake" for me...
[G Tablet General] rushless:
It depends if you want to wait or not. Point is the CES products will be MONTHS away and almost certainly more expensive. THEN you will have to wait for a dev community to acclimate and publish software for the product.

1. Gtablet is here NOW

2. Less than $400

3. Tegra 2 (like the best of those devices will have)

4. Dev community is producing NOW

5. Easy market hack NOW. No guarantee for future products.

6. Speaking of guarantees, do you think the products being shown at CES will be as root friendly? ;)
[G Tablet General] samepic:
Agree with what others have said already about Gtab. I used my Gtab 99.9% of the time in landscape mode so viewing angle wasn't a problem for me (though in portrait mode you need to tilt a little sideway but not much to get a good viewing angle).

If you are a hobbyist (which I think you are based on the # of projects you are currently working on) and like to tweak things then Gtab is definitely worth looking at. It is so hackable and unbrickable that it's a dev heaven for Android development. I have learned a lot by playing with different ROMs on the Gtab. Dev guys like Roebeet, Rothnic, Gojimi, Clemsyn, etc., have been keeping us busy around the clock with new builds/tricks/support that I probably will still play with it around Xmas 2011 :-)

If you are lucky you might be able to snatch a refurb Gtab from Sears outlet for $279. I got mine on sales at Sears for $349 last month brand new.

Cons:

No built-in kickstand (I modified an iPad kickstand from 5Below for $5; works perfectly though)

No perfectly fit screen protector yet (I modified an iPad screen protector to fit my Gtab screen)

No rear camera (I don't miss it but not sure about you)

No multi-finger touch (two fingers only on Gtab; not sure if it's s/w or h/w limitation but I don't find it to be an issue but would like to point it out)

No built-in GPS (but works with Bluetooth GPS to grab GPS data from your phone or other bluetooth GPS devices)

Does not support smooth playback of H.264 High Profile Encoded HD Video (you will have to convert to Main Profile before watching it on Gtab)

Hard-to-find case holder for Gtab (unlike iPad where tons of them are available)

Video Conferencing app support is still not yet widely available (only Yahoo Messenger seems to work so far but image quality is not great; others like Fring & Tango have failed on Gtab but I believe it's software on the app itself)
[G Tablet General] .mak:
The screen is my only concern at this point.. I guess GPS is an issue for me since I'd want to use this thing as a giant navigation unit on occasion, but I always have my Evo around so whatever I guess..

All very good points that I'd taken into account, but was hoping someone would point out to further my belief that the G-Tablet is a wise investment.

Accessories, rear camera and multi-touch aren't a problem for me.. two-finger zoom is all I use on my devices anyway. Video conferencing is important, but only to an extent.. No GPS is problematic, but I can bluetooth my Evo in.

None of these are deal-breakers but, in the end, without video chat, without gps, with jittery playback of h.264 video and poor display quality, I'm wondering what I'll use the G-Tablet for lol

I suppose I'd be using this for media playback around the house and while traveling, same with web browsing (with Flash, and I'll tether to my Evo when away from home), Netflix when it becomes available (I'm sure there'll be a hack for that) and Google Maps.. does it support v5 Maps with 3d buildings??

As for the iPad comment earlier in the thread; I thought about it, but I like widgets and expansion way too much to go with the iPad.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
kindle dx cases fit the gtab nicely
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Gentlemen:

Lots of good thoughts and ideas -- but I have one that hasn't been mentioned.

Simply put, I'm not rich but if something really better comes out I'll go buy one!!!

I bought two G-Tabs for the fun of playing on the bleeding edge and for personal use. I already have more than justified what I spent with what I have done already!!! I'm even. And I still have a lot more playing to do.

I have accepted the fact that Viewsonic accomplished what they intended in getting a tablet with good hardware and "open" software on the market early. Did they miss the mark on the software -- we may never know except for what we have found in using the tablet.

But they have responded and the devs have catered to us and so far as I can see it we all are having a blast.

I saw a report that an estimated 80 tablet devices will be announced at CES!!!

Got to be something worth playing with in there. But most them are months away. When they are really available we'll see.....

For now, here's to a Happy New Year and lots of fun until it's time to do it again!!!!

[G Tablet General] DanielNTX:
I had mine for almost two weeks and just returned mine to Office Depot. Some of my reasoning is that while it's fast, it feels cheap and the display quality just kills me. Also the Samsung Galaxy Tab just dropped to $500 with no contract from Verizon. CES is just around the corner and I have a feeling that there's going to be a slew of tablets from different vendors. Best buy already has 3 different android tablets in the store since the Fall.

I did enjoy the aspect of it being easy to flash and VEGAn is great, but the lack of being able to run Google Location Services and VOIP kinda also killed it for me. Then the few reports of the power port being knocked loose, made me decide to return it.
[G Tablet General] .mak:
After days of researching and some great replies here, I'm positive I'm going to hold off for CES to pass and see what's being offered.

I've decided I need GPS built-in and a better display, and an aluminum body wouldn't hurt either! (but it's unlikely..).

I may grab an iPad used and lowball someone, just to hold me over until CES passes and the new tablets hit stores.. by then Netflix may have the Android app out, and I'll have had a few solid months using it on the iPad.

If I get an iPad for now, I'll also grab the Desktop Connect software so can mess with my laptop through the ipad.

This should hold me over for now, thanks guys!
[G Tablet General] basalt51:
I just wanted to add my 0.02 for anyone else contemplating the gTab. My wife and I got an iPad this weekend from my Mom for christmas, and since we weren't really looking for a tablet, I hate itunes, I already have a droid x, and I didn't like that she spent so much money, we decided to return the ipad and get an android tablet. Since I only had a day to figure out what we wanted - if anything- I did some frantic searches on the droid x which lead me here. I read about all the issues, the ROMs, and the hardware and decided for the money the Gtab was the way to go. I also thought the screen wouldn't bother me much.

First experience with the Gtab is like everyone else's. Its total crap from the oem. I was reluctant to even let my wife touch it before I modded it. Lucky she doesn't have very high expectations, but she kept asking why everything kept "Force closing" lol.

This is my first time rooting any android device (I've rooted a few linksys routers though) but it was super easy (once I realized the + vol button was the OTHER one). My Gtab is now running VEGAn beta 5 and so far is fantastic. It runs better than my droid x and the only bummer is the missing market stuff. Seems anything GPS related is missing and I'm sure other stuff. I have the droid x paired with the Gtab for GPS and I was hoping the GTab could be my new Giant plotter in my boat but I couldn't find my Navionics software in the market to install. Will have to look into finding a way to install it.

But the real biggest let down surprised me. The screen. I thought it wouldn't matter much to me, but 99% of the time I find myself laying it flat on a desk or my lap in landscape mode and that is the worst possible viewing angle for this device. Quite annoying, but I would still buy (I guess I should say "trade an iPad for") the Gtab again.

The main use will be office productivity for my wife at home/travelling and email/facebook stuff also. I expect it to work well for that.
[G Tablet General] .mak:
I was at Best Buy today and almost bit the bullet on an iPad 16GB WiFi, but decided to head to sears and see the G-Tablet on display.. turned out the genius working the counter mistook the cardboard cutout for a real G-Tablet! LOL

Anyway, I decided, regardless of the horrid return policy (30 days, 15% restocking fee unless defective) that I'd take a gTab home with me and give it a shot.

I'm liking it so far, the screen is horrible but I'll adjust. Clockworkmod install was very straightforward, as was installing zPad 3.0 and getting some apps installed (all expected..).

Only time will tell if I regret my purchase.. but if I can get hulu working and some sort of a remote desktop / vnc to control my laptop without loads of lag, I'll be a happy camper.

While I'm on the subject, is there an app similar to AirStream for the iPad? It's VERY fluid and works almost as if you're using Windows (or OSX) from the iPad.. PhoneMyPC is laggy and choppy, LogMeIn is as well.. any others I might try?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The iPad is awful, except the screen

I actually bought an iPad at Worst Buy last week - I just had to test it out. The screen is really very nice and comic viewing is PERFECT on it.

However.....

- No Flash (knew that going in)

- No USB (knew that going in)

- One speaker. That one I didn't expect.

- Mediocre video support. You have to buy an app to get XVID support, and it didn't even work 100% of the time. The GTab might choke on high profile x264's, but it shines on XVID's.

- Mediocre audio support. No WMA, no Vorbis, no FLAC. Nuff said.

- SMB access requires a paid app, and even so it only supported native extensions.

- No drag and drop, and the sharing feature is spotty at best. I would push over a CBR file to Stanza, and 50% of the time the transfer would flat out fail. And I was doing this on a Mac.

The last bullet was the one that "broke the camel's back". I can dump all my CBR's on a NAS device and read them on the GTab (with VEGan b5.1) with no problem. On an iPad, it's a chore to just add a handful of comics. Basically, the device was not designed for me, it was designed for someone who stays within Apple's walled garden and is willing to pay pay pay for all their content (even if they already own it, but it's not supported).
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Yep. It's why I never even bothered to look at an iPad when they came out even though I had wanted a tablet ala Newton Messagepad 2100 for YEARS!

h.264 HP: I still think that it's just a driver problem, and all Tegra 2s currently have the same problem. nVidia is still claiming full h.264 and I doubt that they'd continue on with that if the hw wasn't capable... so it's a wait for nVidia to fix thing, or admit that they have a hw bug that they can't workaround w/sw...

My only thing with the gTab was that I wished that the camera was higher res... it's not really extra horrible, but it's not awesome either... just kind of meh...

Still using my gTab mainly for web browsing, occasional video, and I have used it to read in portrait mode before in the past although in that function it's been retired since I picked up a NC last week... but I can see situations where I might revert to it if the NC battery is almost dead and I need something backlit to read on... that said in portrait orientation as a reader it just wasn't comfortable to hold to begin with... NC much better for that...

NC screen: yeah better viewing angles, but turns out not to be very selling to me. OTOH the pixel density is VERY nice, unfortunately B&N QA sucks. (My first NC had a defective USB port, and I had a b!tch of a time getting the yahoos in the store to exchange it, so they have a sh!tty cs experience as well... as in if anything goes defective on #2 in the next week it's going back for cash because of their horrid cs.)
[G Tablet General] rswindle:
Just for what it's worth, take a look at last year's CES and the one before it and see how many products seen there actually hit the market, and of the ones that did, how many were there that actually made it out in the first 2 quarters?

Any tablet at CES that magically passes those 2 barriers will be so proud of itself, it's going to slap a pricetag of $700+ on itself. History repeats itself, CES is all hype specifically to try and rally you into thinking $700 is a great deal.

I would strongly suggest the $350 gtab for this reason hands down, besides, the $700 one if it even does materialize before Q3, will be sporting an approximation of the hardware of the gtab so we will get all their softwares anyway..
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
See I don't know about that. I think that carriers and manufacturers learned from the massively overpriced galaxy tab. Over $500 is asking a lot of the average consumer, and my guess would be that a majority off these will be around or below that price. For example the notion ink with the lcd is sub 500, and there are plenty more coming out half as nice looking.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Anyone else having issues with ROM manager downloading the ROM list recently? Been trying to grab some modifications for my Blackhole but it keeps errorring out. Trying to figure out if the problem is on my side. Downloading off of Wifi, btw.

I had it stall midway through. What I did was reboot the phone while it was downloading when it became sluggish and went back and downloaded again from rom manager and it picked up where it left off.
