[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Were you being sarcastic? They had an update that next week and then pulled it. Since then they've basically stopped updates and have seemingly ignored the userbase. Stock users would didn't get 4349 that one day on April are still on 3588, from January. That's five months ago. Whenever I tweet them about this, I am ignored.

And their L3 support is XDA, don't forget. They were using gojimi's downlevel ZIP as a way to get users to 3588 (at least as of last month).

Devils Advocate: Who knew VS G Tablet was a US Merchants product?

WHOSE TABLET DID YOU THINK YOU WERE BUYING?

NOT VS Product: the fact that it is advertised as a VS product means that my expectations as to service and support would be with VS, with whom I have always had a good relationship, bought many monitors with no hassles for dead pixels (if there were any), and generally thought they were very good manufacturers. Had I been told that I was buying a tablet manufactured for VS, with US merchants being the lead development Co., imported and sold by US Merchants with service by USM, which by the way is horrible, and yet represented as a VS during sale, but as a USM item upon defect.

To make matters worse, USM does not think that dead pixels and dust behind the screen are defects, and that the flimsy mini USB port is not fragile, but it must have broken form rough handling? What, I am a professional and use it merely for calendering.... I needed to root the device, used the mini usb cord supplied and upon insert "crack" (either the usb end or the 4 wire male receptor was defective ab intio).

Anyway, I would like all G tablet owners who are unhappy with the situation to consider a class action against USM, VS, and any retailer who knew they were advertising a USM tablet from the onset. Using the false pretense and evident defacto belief (VS BOX, named in ads, etc.) that one had purchased a VS branded product and not a USM import, from a no name partner in crime, basically fraudulently sold by them as a VS, with VS's consent and knowledge to retailers who similarly should have known the warranty specifics. IT says VS shall warrant.....not "USM warrants against defect....bla bla bla....you know the rest....boilerplate...

Rise minions and masses, you have been cheated. It only took me 10 days and about 10 hrs on the phone to get my money back from CC. Face it VS/USM/CC/?, you are all responsible parties. And yes poor design as in the mini USB male connector and unsealed screens or sealed screens with mfg debris roaming around within the tablet IS A DEFECT!

Thank you folk for allowing me to vent.

CLASS-ACTION......????

Would not be caught dead with anything Apple. It is a greedy Corp. w/an inclination to "big brother" like behavior which only "fan-boys" enjoy (S&M). Can only use Apple peripherals...priced as though they were the holy grail of each component. It is cute, but not for me. Been PC from the days of DOS, green phosphorus screens and all. Heck my first 20MB drive cost me 2800.00 from Tandy, then radio shack. The true pc'er can toss a PC together in 30 minutes, motherboard and all. What can an fan-boy do besides fantasize to orgasm of the new iteration of the I Phone/I-Pad, how sad.

Main reason for rant is the Viewsonic will cross-ship per it's warranty and USM basically said since my doctorate is not in electronics, how was I set to prove a defect....wait me prove a defect.....idiots, a non-usable mini usb is a DEFECT, and certainly pieces of plastic or metal floating within the tablet which lodge in the screen (poss. left over from assembly or mfg.) is a DEFECT.

Enjoy your Ipad...I simply find S.J to be CEO of the very type of Corp. they lampooned in their "big brother" ad of the past, with the smashing screen, and the masses zombie like....well they obviously were foretelling their own metamorphosis, and their effect at the creation of zombies, now newly termed fan-boys....zombie like creatures who read apple announcements while having sex.

Well I'm three years younger than you and feel no need to denigrate younger members.

A class action lawsuit isn't going to happen, not enough members in the class for the lawyers to make any money.

It was pretty much a dead end product at end of life when we bought it. For that, it's not half bad :) I'm pretty sure you can afford to chalk up $300 to learning. It's got to be no more than 6 tanks of gas for your SUV.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samuelcv:
it's not about the money....and no it's only 4.3 fill-ups for the BMW X3; it is about the fact that it borders on outright deception. Sort of like when the maid sweeps the dust under the rug, rather than attending to it properly. I guess some board members do not like lawyers making money...also did you not see the caveat: "thx for letting me vent"...... don't take yourself so seriously, after all isn't sardonic humor making a come back?

No offense meant to anyone, but we alpha grey backs are a feisty bunch. As my wife always re-counts "never sell my husband anything with a warranty, written, verbal, implied or statutory".

Peace, no offense meant to anyone and if need be simply explain it away as a psychosis of modern day life. Peace out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
x2 on the age comment - I'm a 40 something, but just because someone's younger than me doesn't automatically mean they know less. Age and intelligence/wisdom do not always go hand in hand.

As for a class action suggestion, I had wondered about that myself but I don't see it happening either. The hardware defects mentioned sound like one-offs to me, not something that happens on every device. As for them slapping their brand name on a device that's not really theirs, that practice is also very common.

What I had wondered is the lack of an official Flash app since it was on my packaging and, to this day, they have yet to incorporate one into their "official" ROM. But even that is questionable at best -- they could just say that there is a Flash app available but they just don't support it. As much as I detest their support on this device, especially since April when the customer service area changed for the worse, I don't see anything that shouts "class action" to me.

Best thing to do is what I plan to do -- never buy another Viewsonic tablet again, and suggest the same to everyone I know and cite my GTAB support experience as the reason why.

As to my fellow board members, no malice ever intended....by these comments. And I do agree, never another viewsonic product, and in the office I am joining I shall live that mantra..."oh no u didn't...... gf...." ;)

Have fun....my eee touch-pad just arrived....at least Asus claims they make them, warrant them and service them, unlike VS. :cool:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Very happy with ASUS post-support, so far. Had a lemon, got an RMA and a new device within 10 days time. Yes I had to pay the shipping, but for a few bucks it was worth it. Also, the TF has a two year warranty so I am covered for quite some time.

They aren't perfect, of course - their CS department in general needed improvement (their L1 support kept treating the device like it was running Windows). But hopefully that's just growing pains.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
It looks like these tablets are treated the same way as motherboards. Has anyone ever tried to get an updated BIOS, or hardware drivers for a mobo after 6 months?

NVidia has accelerated their development timeline so that products are considered legacy after 6 months. Unfortunately, that is how things are nowadays.

So my screen went out on me and they are sending me a new phone, if the screen won't come on at all, I am unable to unroot (some people may be able to do it all through ADB but I am not one of them, unfortunately).

My concern is, once they get this phone mailed back to them, are they going to fix the screen, see it's rooted, and then charge me the fee of like $250? If so, I'd rather just purchase a new phone outright then pay another couple hundred for this one...

Hey everyone!

So I have xperia x10 that is a prototype, and i've been searching the whole web to find a solution on how to unlock this device but no luck so far.

The phone is fully functional, it even has an android 2.1 installed, except the sim service, when i insert a sim card it asks me for an unlock code.

This is what it says on the back of the phone under the battery:

Type: AAD-388056-BV CB5

Prototype not for sale MoP XXXX-XXXX.RR

Not type approved Prototype build: AP1

SI 1228-3677.1M 09W27

So i would really appreciate your help, is there any way to unlock this phone, maybe by flashing the device or just by entering some code?

I'm a total noob about this, thanx for any answers you might have.

Hi,

the prototype should still have Android 1.6.

Please have a look at a similar request & solution here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881026

*EDIT*

Easiest would be rooting with z4root (runs on 1.6), install root explorer and change the CDF in the build.prop to 1235-7836 (custom DE/CH).

After that upgrade via SEUS / PC companion. That´s what I´ve done and can confirm was working for me.

Maybe you want to try out your preferred CDF, but please, in any case don´t blame us, if you brick your phone.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
ferraripassion is your only help (well, plus other people with high access + a CSCA dongle). XPERIA phones can only be unlocked using original SE tools, or by code. But remeber that when unlocking using dongle, the dongle leaves it's signature in the checksums hence software unlock is not public.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiteh:
Well I have already contacted the davinci team, they said that they had success with retrieving codes for prototypes in the past, so I'm gonna try their method first and see if maybe just typing in the code is a solution.

I can't seem to find a master list of apk's. I'm not talking about just stock, I mean everything. Kind of like a big giant kitchen. Not a list of what should be there, but actual download links. I am thinking the community would benefit from going to a single place to say "hmm....I'd like to try a different email.apk today." Basically a self-service kitchen. I can't count how many times I have to go pull apart a ROM to strip out the keyboard I like to put on my new ROM.

I think this will help cut down on many questions like "where can I find the patched mms.apk......" questions I see all the time. One place.

There is something similar to this in the Vibrant forum, but thought a giant consortium for Galaxy S would be best. Maybe it's something I'd have to work on, but I'd love to have it added to the WIKI. Think about it, you go download your favorite ROM/kernel, whatever, then add some spices........and voila! a kitchen without the hassle of downloading an entire ROM because you want to change one little thing.

Am I crazy? Have I really missed something in all my searches? Am I suffering from Search Overload?

Yes! That's my point. I'd love to have a list of modified stock apps I can scroll through. You know, like a list of all the available email apps (stock, aosp, gingerbread, themed, etc...)The wiki seems like a good place to post it cause then themers/chefs can post up links to their work.

I honestly started digging around last weekend trying to collect links through the forums, but my god is that a lot of work! However thee pay off would be HUGE for all of xda. I just wish I had more time to start it AND all themers/modders/chefs would have to use it! That's what I feel would be more difficult than anything. Trying to get everyone to keep updating it. especially considering many frame work apps are "cross-platform" if you will, meaning an email app from a Desire might work in my Captivate. I'd like to try anyways.

Who's up for helping me? If only I was unemployed i'd have the time.

Been searching and googling for a while and nothing like this exists.... I'm a surgical resident with a need for a portable library... Love my droid... Had to buy an iPad (hate it) just for this feature....

In the apple market there are 3-4-5 programs that I can think of that allow markup/annotation of PDF files (underlining, highlight, text comments) ... Currently I'm using iannotate which works great for that (still hate the iPad tho)

Considering 2011 is going to be the year of the tablet/slate it seems there is a large market potential for a dev of a program like this... iPads are popular with students, residents, lawyers, etc for this reason...

Can anyone step up to a dev project like this?

Did I mention that I hate this damn iPad????? But it does do what I need not what I want....

Hi,

Try Acrobat Reader X. There's an android version. You can annotate any PDF that allows it (commenting is permissioned by Acrobat before saving).

The thing about the pdf file is that the creator of the file must specifically enable commenting. Once that is done you can add comments with acroreader 8 through X.

If you wish, pm me. I have the acrobat pro and can re-save your pdf with commenting enabled (provided the file is not password protected against changes.com).
[Android Software Development] Bert336:
We have one iPad and one Tab 10.1.... iAnnotate seems to do just about everything we need, underline, freehand easy font change size/color, easy line thickness change, notes, markups. ezPDF / Repligo reader do not come close to matching iAnnotate's features. We are looking for a similar app that will allow PDF's to be edited even if they are not OCR'ed. Something that will take the PDF document and you can use it as a chalk board write draw stick on notes, etc without any issues.

I have searched everywhere, emailed Repligo and ezpdf, to hear nothing from them. It is absolutely absurd that Android Devs have not come out with a PDF annotation only app. After seeing how many android Tablets are out there someone should be able to bring out and make a good profit off of it. I am not looking for any free apps, i know something like this has to cost and i am willing to pay for at least 10 licenses for starters.

Thanks all for the time and support.

After making the EmoBatt, I thought that a standard battery was in order, so, here it is. I present TranspariBatt, made in the CrashedUser Studios battery works just this morning. It was this or do laundry, so I guess I'll have dirty socks. :eek: The battery itself is transparent, so it will show the color of your status bar through it. I've uploaded six versions, so make sure you get the right one. I've also attached them directly to this post so I can keep track of what's being downloaded and what isn't, because I'm basically lazy at heart and don't want to do work I don't need to. :D

+++ BE ADVISED +++

These mods were made with the "stock" framework, so if you flash them over a theme it will reset it back to stock. As with the EmoBatt, I'll port to other roms and/or themes if there is enough interest. Flash as you would any flashable rom/theme zip.​
