+1, Works great, I received my nexus S and after less than 1 hour I was running latest CM7. computer is needed only to download the ROMs and kernels(optional)

Thank you
[Nexus S General] stillbreathing:
Hi,

I use a

Nexus S (I9023) with

Gingerbread 2.3.6 (stock)

(Build GRK39F) on

(1&1/Vodafone).

My goal is to first root the phone so I can get my backups done with Titanium Backup, before I install CM7.

I first tried to do it with windows, but this went pretty much nowhere, because my pc would recognize the device when it's turned on, but not in fastboot mode. (Tried PDAnet, Samsung Driver & android Driver)

Then I went to my other OS -> ubuntu

And here's what I've done this far:

I followed this tutorial to set up all the files I would need to boot Clockwork.

I know this tutorial is for another phone, but I think it should work across devices. (But, I'm new to all this stuff^^)

After following these steps I got the following:

renegade@renegade-ubuntu:~$ cd /home/renegade/android/tools
renegade@renegade-ubuntu:~/android/tools$ fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: Bootloader Locked - Use "fastboot oem unlock" to Unlock)

From reading this thread I get the impression, that I might

have

to unlock it if I want root.

I just want to get this confirmed...cause in this case I would probably wait til 4.0 comes out and see if I like it and maybe do a root w. wipe to install some roms down the line, if it gets boring.:D

Thanks in advance for any support:)

I'm currently on 2.3.7. Would prefer not to wipe data just to root. Is this a known method for rooting without data wipe? Thank you

Just wondering if you are getting in on this 4g rom and if you will bring it to Axura?? I want to wait for a more stable build then whats available right now. And I love your roms.

Man I hope so. I usually go with TW or master cause their roms are most stable (in my opinion). I guess it will be who ever posts one first.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
There is no advantages of the 4g rom. Jillette has even posted this statement. No performance increase at all from what he stated. This is why he is pulling his tonight. I doubt we will se much more roms from the 4g release. Wait for krylon360 to release a stable gingerbread.

QUOTE=jellette;Well, the Alpha may not last. To be honest, the only real benefit of 2.2.1 over 2.2 is in the mind of the end user - simply because it says 2.2.1 now.

For these reasons, V4G may not stand, it does not meet EDT standards of being worthy of release, it was posted anyway due to popular demand.[/QUOTE]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slickdaddy96:
I am having a sleep issue that I can pinpoint down to one app causing it. I have a Rhod400 and sleep mode is set to 1. It sleeps fine most of the time, but when I run Slacker Radio at all even after insuring it is closed with "advanced task killer" and looking in "services" I'm not sure the phone goes to sleep, because all the LED does is a very fast flash from orange to green to orange... over and over again.

Is that some type of warning message built into the LED troubleshooting of sleep mode, or is the phone trying to go to sleep and then waking itself backup immediately afterwards? Only way to fix this is to reboot XDAndroid.

Anyone else use Slacker Radio and have the same problem or use another app that causes this same symptom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I use SystemPanelLite to close apps, shouldn't really make a difference on which app you use tho.

Assuming the apps are closed, you should be fine.

But yes, based on your description the phone is going in and out of sleep very quickly... Never experienced the issue myself, but I don't use this app either.

If you cannot recreate the issue on a clean Android installation, I'd definitely say it's the app's fault.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] highlandsun:
I saw that on one boot too, but I never investigated to see which app caused it.

I had my phone sleep all night and when I woke it up 8 hours later it looked like it was still 100%. But later, after doing some browsing and such, it doesn't go to sleep at all, LED stays orange. I was using wifi and turned that off, but it still isn't going to sleep now. So definitely, there are a bunch of possible situations that prevent the phone from going back to sleep...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
I've definitely seen this before as well, where the LED will stay orange, flash to green, and then immediately become orange again, and I've never used Slacker Radio before. Location was disabled, and I went through and killed all non-ordinary processes, and the problem remained until reboot.

There are definitely some possible situations still lurking that prevent sleep. The fact that it's reproducible with Slacker Radio could possibly be helpful to some devs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Handy2:
I have this both issues too. Flashing green and orange light appeared after playing some 3D games, browsing with wifi and in some random situations. Sometimes i have one another probelem. After start i wait for green light and when this light appear, i can't wake up the phone.

I'm using advanced task killer, but i think that isn't the problem. I have RHOD100 .
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic81784:
I couldnt find help for my specific device by searching on here. Is there a way for infrastructure to be used on an Eris instead of ad-hoc?

Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I'll assume you are talking about running a wireless tether app on a rooted Eris - obviously, as a client to an AP, the Eris can operate in infrastructure mode.

In general, feasibility of wireless client hardware getting re-purposed into a WiFi hotspot AP in infrastructure mode depends on availability of user-space software, kernel features & modules, as well as the hardware capabilities of the WiFi radio itself.

It appears that the Android wifi-tether project supports infrastructure mode - but only on a small number of handsets. The Eris isn't even mentioned in any mode (although past versions of software from there have certainly worked on the Eris in ad-hoc mode).

That doesn't mean that is not possible, though - maybe someone here with more experience can speak up.

[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)

Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!

Will give this a try in Amazon.

[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
LOL! I hate that snow! See that's the thing, I am a bit skeptical doing online purchases outside US... not that I don't trust them but might as well wait till it's available in US market, plus on top of that is you can track them :) but I hope u'll get yours on time! Give an update if it works well on you.

[G Tablet Accessories] GuestD0700:
How well does this hold the GTab? Has it ever fallen out on you?
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue :)

Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.
[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
Did it get any scratches in ur screen? Does it holds the tab ok?

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!

Wenger case

Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php

Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
[G Tablet Accessories] GSBJackson:
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:

[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
I got mine today, keyboard works okay. Now I can be more productive typing on my G-tab... wish it comes with a mouse though but either way I'm satisfied, the price is okay for this case with a keyboard, USB and a stick.
[G Tablet Accessories] winkzone:
This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
[G Tablet Accessories] solidorange:
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.

-nice material, well made

-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)

-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)

-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)

-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)

-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)

-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)

-included stylus does not work (duh)

all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.

i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. d@mn newbie mode! :o

Case Update

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.

These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.
[G Tablet Accessories] kjmott:
So this is the same case from witglobal but $10 more?

correct me if I am wrong but the case witglobal looks to good to go with no modding needed now right?

Thanks for the help

Amazon case

Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
Sounds like subtle differences

Sounds like the differences (beside price and longer shipping times) are that the case on Amazon slips in from the top and the Wit-Global unit slips in from the right. That means that the microUSB gets covered on the Wit-Global one. There is an open side in either case so I would think the top down makes more sense since the top flap keeps it in the case. So far it hasn't been an issue but overtime the side opening may cause the tablet to slip out. We will see.
[G Tablet Accessories] rapcon:
The Gtab has never fallen out of the case and the case has great protection for the screen. The only problem is the tab on the left side of the case is directly over the usb host connection so if you left the cover off you still cannot plug the keyboard in. A rather poor implementation on the manufacturer's part.
[G Tablet Accessories] bevbeng:
I bought & receive one from a seller on ebay for $27 shipped. Keyboard works fine except the USB cord is to short to reach around the left side of the tablet. When I contacted him about it he said that the tablet ought to be upside down with the USB port on the right. It still works but it just totally annoys me having it upside down. The side tabs that support the tablet also cover the USB port the right side up or upside down.
[G Tablet Accessories] darksongsama:
I picked up what was probably the last one the Amazon shop seller had in stock, which is probably why it's showing as backordered/OOS now. :p

Once again, I got the exact one the OP linked and put up pics of, not any of the ones other posters insist on derailing this thread with. :mad: Keep in mind that this particular one HAS BEEN MODDED to better work with the G-Tablet. the left side clip has been relocated down more to not block the USB ports. The USB cable for the keyboard reaches perfectly. There is no need to invert the tablet in the case for it to work properly.

I am 95% satisfied with it. Decent quality for the kind of product that it is and where it's from. There are a couple of "issues" with it.

-Comes with a plastic stylus that does nothing - wrong type of screen. This case is a mod of one for a device that the stylus would work on. Just amuses me that it's there

-Side clips came bent out, so the tablet slid around. Slightly bent them inwards and now tablet fits snugly, otherwise it can slip out the top if you inverted the case without securing the clasp strap. I'd feel better if there was some kind of mechanism to secure it on top as well, but I can live with it as is.

-Clasp strap itself will fall forward and cover the camera - just tuck it between the tablet and case to get it out of the way

Keyboard works well, as others have said. one downside is that having it plugged into the usb port does significantly increase battery drain. I have mine with me at work on overnight shift, and I will usually see it go from "100%" to ~50% on an 8 hour shift. I just wish the damned thing would charge from USB, like my Captivate does. *sigh*

All in all a nice little "case" and the kind of accessory I wish was available in stores when Viewsonic put this thing out originally, rather than the pathetic choices we do have.
[G Tablet Accessories] MasterColdSoul:
I ordered mine from WIT after a lot had ordered here and they had the feedback. My left tab doesn't cover the USB slot for the keyboard, it cover the micro-usb slot used to connect it to the computer and the speaker.

Mine holds my gtab fine with no mods (again from WIT, not amazon).

[G Tablet Accessories] kjmott:
For those of you using this case is it a good case if you didn't want to use the keyboard all the time or would I be better getting a portfolio type case without a keyboard?
[G Tablet Accessories] kalvinl:
I just received this case and I can agree with some of the other users that this is a nice case for daily use, and if you don't want to use the keyboard that often I don't feel as if would be too much of a burden with this case. However, if you were to want to eventually use a keyboard then it would come in handy.
