I definitely didn't rail on it but at the same time I did PRESS (multiple times) and not touch. It's just the nature of that game as well as placement of the control. Since it broke I pressed down on the screen a little around all sides and I have noticed that the screen is better supported with things behind it on the left side than on the right. Maybe I have extra muscle in my right thumb, who knows but I can say for sure it wasn't the kind of press that would crack my phone, ipod touch, or just about any other device. Looks like I will be exchanging the Archos. Friend says he can't do the return just change it. That' when I have to decide whether to build this thing again or ebay it.
[Gen8 General] snickle:
If you stay with the Archos, get an Invisible shield from Zagg. That will distribute some impact. I have clobbered the screen on my DroidX with the shield and it has held up.

I have one coming for my Archos.
[Gen8 General] hamzer11:
I am posing this question here but if I don't get enough response I will create a separate thread.

Looks like the Xoom will be around the $1000 price range. This isn't confirmed but seems likely. That's well outside my budget. So my question is:

Archos 101 or Viewsonic G tablet? (Yes I know this is the Archos forum but I just need opinions from people if they could do it all over again)
[Gen8 General] reup247:
I know it's not a choice you listed but as an Archos 101 owner that later purchased a Nook Color... I have to say look into the Nook Color.

The build quality is much better, and I really like the form factor. The 512 mb of ram is great also. It has been receiving more love than my Archos since I got it.
[Gen8 General] CrunchyDoodle:
Just a comment on the state of things in my household concerning Android tablet usage . . . .

I have my Archos 101 and a Zenithink ZT-180 with it's single-touch resistive screen. While the Zenithink is a cheap generic Android tablet, it's quite sturdy, including the screen. That's why my grandson plays on the Zenithink and my wife and granddaughter get to use the Archos. My grandson is an enthusiastic kid who takes his gaming seriously. He's gone through two styluses - one broke and one lost in the couch (the couch ate it). I'm not sure the Archos could take his level of enthusiasm. :rolleyes:

Bye. :cool:
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Its the nature of adrenaline... if a 125 pound mom can lift a car off her child with it, surely you can get excited enough playing an intense game to press harder than you realize. :p

Regarding the Nook comment. The Nook is solid as heck, but I tried it before I got the 101 and I had a lot of quirky issues with it (read my post in another thread about how I don't tolerate "issues" to any great extent). I loaded ADW.Launcher on it and made it the default, but often it would "switch back" to Nook's UI. You don't have nearly the settings or control. The WiFi seemed horrible and even loading 3rd party browsers like Dolphin and Opera seemed to give a very poor web surfing experience to me. I also tried a Viewsonic. I don't think it was the G tablet, but it was a Tegra 2 device they sell at Sears for $299 and I returned it in 2 days. The lag was HORRIBLE on the thing and the screen seemed very unresponsive. Apps constantly crashed. It was just horrible. Now, perhaps a custom ROM could clear that up, but wow...very unimpressed with the Viewsonic.

So, based on my experience with these devices, I think the 101 is the best I've had and I'm very happy with it. But...I also get you are a bit skittish after losing a screen. Perhaps it was a defect in the screen itself, like a micro-fracture that, with the right pressure, cracked...kind like when a rock chip in your car windshield is there one day and then you wake up the next day and there is a crack across the entire window. Who knows...
[Gen8 General] huterfi:
I had the Archos 101 and was very happy with it until my micro sd card shot out of the tablet. The Archos was always a little though on the sd card so I think it was just a defective one. Huge demand for them ... I think Archos was cranking them out really quick. I was definitely happy with it. I RMA'd it through NewEgg and they refunded instead of replace. No big deal since I got a viewsonic g Tablet instead. I will let you know which of the two I like better. Plus the g Tablet got an update that is suppose to help with a lot of the responsiveness.
[Gen8 General] munkiii:
You must have been pressing your screen quite hard to break it!
[G Tablet Accessories] sverbanic:
I've been looking for a good-fitting case for weeks, and have bought a couple that "almost" fit, like the Kindle DX and some Netbook cases. I finally found one made by INIT, Model NT-DV209, that fits perfectly. It's a sleeve style and is evidently made to fit 9" electronics as opposed to the ones that fit 10" but are too big. I bought mine at a local Best Buy but if you google the part number, a lot of places carry it. It's a nice snug fit and doesn't seem to cause my power button to get pressed easily.

I also tried the "official" G Tablet case from Sears which as too wide and turned out to ba a CaseLogic 10" Netbook case.

I really like the HP Mini Sleeve sold at Walmart and other stores for under $10. Perfect fit and good basic protection.
[G Tablet Accessories] sverbanic:
Have you got a part number or photo that you can share?
[G Tablet Accessories] snarful:
No photo, but it's the HP Mini Sleeve, part #NF869AA. It's a black, double-zippered neoprine sleeve with the HP swirl logo in white, and fits the G-Tab perfectly.

[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
I love my Targus A7 10.2" Netbook sleeve (TSS109US): comes in a variety of colours - mine is deep purple - fits like a glove and is very well padded inside, with scratch resistant lining over sculpted foam. Just check the product ID code - TSS109US - before you buy because apparently it comes in a range of sizes.

I paid $15 for it at Staples and though I see it listed as $20 on Staples.com right now, a quick Google search shows lots of opportunities to find a deal.

I would buy it again in a heartbeat. :)
[G Tablet Accessories] calgeek:
I went looking for the Targus case mentioned above at Staples and found it for $20. I saw they had a couple of other cases too made by Targus that had the same internal dimensions as listed on the tags. I decided to get one of the other ones instead and it seems to fit really well. Thanks for the tip!
[G Tablet Accessories] DGoward:
I have the same case from Walmart and it was $7.99..... Works great....
[G Tablet Accessories] intech:
Solo lvl106-3 for 9.7 ereaders. I bought mine over at Staples. Amazon has them too. Two elastics and two cloth pockets. Actually 4 elastics to fit different sizes. The image is not exact! mine has four elastics in one corner (opposite the power and volume) and two corner 'pockets' on the other side so anything can fit. You can't easily (or wisely) access your power port and power button is snuggled in the corner pocket thing but it does not push on it and you can just push it without issue. All and all for $25 not bad.

http://www.amazon.com/SOLO-Collecti...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1296913143&sr=8-1

I bought mine at staples but Amazon carries them too although as I pointed out about style difference. Not sure if the image is of another close variant.
[G Tablet Accessories] linesma:
That is an interesting idea. I also am leery of using a "jurry rigged" cover for my gTab.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dave615:
I've had great experience with Targus products. I still have a laptop backpack that I used all through college, carrying 100 lbs of books at a time. I graduated in 2004 and it's still going strong using it daily for carrying my work laptop. Off to look for this Targus sleeve for the GTab I just ordered.
[G Tablet Accessories] DumbUglyDragon:
Wait, so the product here:

Doesn't fit right?
[G Tablet Accessories] boltgd:
solo is good

I bought the same one from amazon and i got my tab secured to this case with sticky velcro, now my tab dose not move a bit. with all elastic and soft corner unsecured and with only velcro sticking tab against the case i can even hang my tab upside down safely. Only reason why i bought this sleeve is because of zipper and the soft padding to protect the tab and its screen
[G Tablet Accessories] tadvansky:
Gonna swing by Staples today and pick up one of these, looks pretty nice and I've also had good experiences with Targus products.
[G Tablet Accessories] tadvansky:
I bought the Targus A7 and while it is no frills and contains no extra pockets other than the main compartment, it is well-padded and constructed. Good purchase.
[G Tablet Accessories] superbalde:
I bought this case too but am going to pick it up tomorrow. It sounds like the g tab does fit inside of it but there is some extra space inside the case.

Dear,

I currently use the excellent Nand Rom NexusHD2 Gingerbread from tytung.

In my phone, i want see the boot process like linux, when he boot and delete the animation.

Is it possible ? If yes, what is the procedure ?

Thanks you for your help !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Sorry mate, but you can't have this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tok-ra14:
Okay,

Can i ask why ?

Android is based on linux, the boot process don't change ?

I don't know really how Android works, but if the boot screen is desactive, you can not see the kernel boot process ?

Like this screenshot

PS : Sorry for my very bad english (i'm french)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
The bootlog doesn't just appear if there's nothing else being shown. Magldr would have to be coded to show it, and it isn't.

The only thing you could do is to approach the Dark Forces Team and ask them to recode magldr so that it shows the bootlog, but I really don't think you'll get it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tok-ra14:
Okay john !

Thanks you very much ;)

Looking to see if anyone is willing to put together an app for this software. The company released the source code for anyone willing to build an android app.

Basically its a webcam monitoring software to view your cameras as a type of security system.

If I had any idea how to put it together I'd do it myself but I dont have the first clue of where to start. Ive got the source code though if anyones interested.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Hi, I noob on this of an Android Phone, I have a HTC TOUCH PRO 2, RHOD210.

I install the FROYO X 2011.01.12 and i put the kernel that have the packet than run the camera and this is OK.

My problem is that the wifi interface is not workink, i am try a lot of solutions that found in this forum, but nothing is ok for me, i change the rootfs like suggest in a forum, modify the wifi-nvram.txt and put the mac address of the wifi, i update the kernel to Latest Kernel Commit# 1253, and i have the same problem.

could someone tell me how to solve the wifi of my rhod210?

Please, I do not want to use windows mobile :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
How about you just run with vanilla FRX03 and then try to get fancy with it?

Let us know how that works, then we can work on updating your kernel. If you're a noob at swimming, you don't start in the deep end...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Sorry, i'm only was trying to solve the problems for my self.

I understand that some of these RHOD210 if they have managed to run the wifi.

I tell you that I use from the beginning FRX03 and it worked well, at least part of the telephone, sound and GPS, but other things did not work, so I started to search the forums and trying different solutions. but I have not found a way to walk the wifi which is what most interests me, so probe, with the latest versions of the kernel etc.

Thanks, I know I'm a rookie, but I like trying to find solutions to the problems I have ....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, and I'm trying to help you triage. You said a lot in this post, but didn't answer my question.

Does wifi work with a vanilla FRX03 bundle?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Does't work wifi in vanilla FRX03, in fact, the phone worki slow with this kernel, with FROYO is more faster.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Erm, I guess I should be more specific.

Where did you download vanilla FRX03? Also, FRX03 is Froyo, so I assume you mean that Froyo 'X' build tiad8 put together.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean "slow with this kernel" - by vanilla FRX03 build, I mean the complete bundle - not just the kernel. Plus, kernels are not tied to system images... So I'm not sure what you mean.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Yes, is this build, i look de dmesg logs of the phone, and i see an error that say: can't found the mac address of the wifi. and, i look the file, wifi-nvram.txt and this file have the mac address that i look on windows mobile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I thought I already directed you to this thread, but it seems to be your issue... so follow these directions. See F22's post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
I do that, and don't work for me.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well then, I guess you just can't have wifi...

Honestly, every single person either wifi "just works", or they have to do the wifi-nvram trick. I've never heard of anyone not being able to use wifi, that didn't try the wifi-nvram trick - and those people were definitely in the minority. Vast majority of people, wifi works perfectly fine for.

Please, be a little more diligent. I can't do this troubleshooting for you, I can only point you in the right direction. I need you to do some legwork, as I can't see what you're doing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Fine, i go to format again my SD-CARD and start from zero, any installer recomeded? or pick the installer that i want?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
how do I find out my exact model, I'm assuming is that it's RHOD210 for photos and that according to information I have read I understand that T-Mobile only has this HTC TOUCH PRO2, can that be part of my error, there is a way to identify exactly which model is?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sticker underneath the battery - not on the battery itself. It's usually in tiny gray font.

Well, I'd format with the HP tool. (Full format, FAT32) Download this bundle as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
[SOLVED]

Thank you very much to everyone who answered me and all the developers of this project so interesting, yesterday succeeded in solving the problems I had, my SD formatting, reinstalling Froyo x version 2011.01.12 and puts a kernel of the chamber, after That did the trick again wifi-nvram.txt file, according to the link that let me arrrghhh one of the threads of this forum, after that the WIFI has started to work wonders.

Then my HTC Touch Pro 2, RHOD210 remain with:

WIFI

CAMERA

GPS

PHONE, DATA AND YOU

AUDIO

Thank you very much.

Remember to use zImage and Modules package from the same place and that only WPA is working , NO WEP !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
WEP actually seems to work on mine. Strange as that is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
Other problems

These days I've been testing my phone RHOD210 Android, after having settled about the WIFI, but I noticed a problem is that the phone is locked, I can receive a call and make a call, and thereafter ceases to operate the module telephony, change the 1214-Dirty kernel that runs the camera for the 1253 and I have the same problem, another thing I noticed is that the speakerphone does not work completely, it is telling me the microphone works but not the headphones, someone happened?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhm... the older kernel doesn't have the commits for speakerphone mic I would say. Once it all gets committed to GIT it will be a lot less confusing - just a lot of code that's in testing right now basically.

WEP should never, ever be used in any circumstances if it can be avoided. That protocol is extremely insecure...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
What kernel do you recommend for my RHOD210, the 1253 is doing that the phone will be frozen and I have to Quiaro the battery and put it again to restart the system.

Wonder that in the future will be able to remove the windows and flash the device with adro to make it natively? : D

Thank you very much
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well, I'd recommend 1250 then I guess... Usually I recommend the newest GIT kernel, which is currently 1253.

FYI, you already can remove Windows and flash the device to run Android natively. It's just not as stable as haret, but it's getting there. Plus, it's only a partial NAND boot - only init and the zImage are actually loaded on the MTD if I'm not mistaken, everything else is on the SD card (which is still 99% of the data...)

But, if you're feeling brave and really do want to completely get rid of WinMo, NAND boot away... can't say I didn't warn ya ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kleper:
I read about NAND Boot, and think carefully, because my goal is to completely remove windows, but I think first learn more about the phone, android and things, I'm not developer so these things more difficult, I have them I quetomar calmly. arrrghhh thank you very much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
Hi,

i have a blackstone,and froyo x said mac address unavailable with every kernel and modules i tried,i tried the same modules and kernel with xdandroid frx03 and frx04 and my wifi worked fine

now,i searched for wifi-nvram.txt on my device,i wanted to type in my mac,but i didn't find the file at the location specified in f22's post.

my question is: are all other parameters in rhodium's wifi-nvram the same as ones in blackstone's (can i use rhodium's wifi-nvram.txt to do the trick)

or should i add "wifi.mac=" to my startup

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It should work... try it, it won't hurt anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] porkenhimer:
This will fix your problem. Find your MAC ADDRESS on your phone and write it in the WIFI-NVRAM.TXT then place the WIFI-NVRAM.TXT in the root of your storage card. Now replace your FROYO.USER.CONF with the one in this zip. The FROYO.USER.CONF is in this folder ANDBOOT/CONF. Now boot android and you'll have wifi working.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
yeah i know about entering mac via nvram,but i wasn't sure if rhodium's nvram file works for blackstone, because i don't know if the hardware is completely the same.

thanks anyway

i am trying froyo x 1.21. and new kernel solved wifi issues,but 1.12 seems to be ultra fast

@arrrghhh how come you can't get tiad to work with you guys,you said froyo x is sort of a rip off,but how can it be that much faster

i tested FRX03 and FRX04 with linpack on blackstone @528MHz and i got

1.991 MFLOPS with FRX03

somewhere around 2.3 with FRX04

where froyo x 1.12 gave 3.7 MFLOPS

the difference doesn't just seem huge,it also feels huge

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrich:
So as we are all aware, the captivate does not have a front facing camera. This doesn't bother me considering I never video chat. However, that may not be the same case for others. I was thinking today, computers and laptops have plugin webcams for USB ports. Why not smartphones? It could plug right into the top of the phone via the micro USB port and be the size of something like a wireless mouse receiver for a laptop. Could something like this physically be done? I know people who could do the physical part of the work like make the actual prototype, but would any coding/scripting need to be done inside the phone? I think it something alot of people want/need and could be profitable if successful. Share your opinions. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or is a prepost...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeybear23:
I think if people are going to have to carry around a separate piece of equipment for video chat, they may as well not worry about software and just use one of those mirror attachments I have seen out there. Then you'd have a 5 MP FFC instead of a 1.3 MP one like most FFCs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
I for one would like that feature. It will be a while before I can upgrade again to a newer phone that has video chat and such. I don't know coding and such but I couldn't see why someone couldn't create an app that can be installed with said hardware if one was made. I too think something like that would be awesome. I can't see why if one can be added onto a laptop ( that doesn't already have one) with the added program files why something like that wouldn't work here.

I wouldn't mind carrying a extra bit of hardware with me. I mean I already bring with me an extra battery charger and my bluetooth and wired headsets. It wouldn't be something that would be used all the time. Another feature that our cpativates are lacking that could be added is a led light for when using the webcam. I have thought about making a case or something that has a led light that can (at least) run off a seperate battery and have a switch to turn on the light. But if something could. E done with a webcam that has a light also ( possibly a swivel webcam that rotates so you can either use it for video chat or as a seperate video camera) then you could have the led light turn on when needed for the camera or video functions. Good luck and make millions$. I am sure something like that could be a big seller for even cross platforms for phones that do not have video webcam/ chat or at least for all the android phones that don't.

The camera really would not need to be that big. If you look at the size of the camera night now its basically as big as a shirt button.
