[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
calculating stuff? when you get into hboot you should be able to push the volup or voldown to scroll to recovery and then press power to select. otherwise pull your batt. and put it back in then just plug the phone into a wall outlet or usb. if your on CM it will boot CM up automatically. (sort of a glitch, but in your case it might save you instead haha)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
the calculating is just the bootloader looking for an update.zip. a few seconds after it finishes you should be able scroll down to recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmazzuc1:
Problem Solved

When i let the update.zip load. It said to let it update, or press power to reboot.

It kept fast booting.. I think thats what the problem was.

Solved the problem by starting without the SD card mounted. Then once it loaded I was able to arrow up and down. Popped SD back in and was able to properly recover.

:-)

Thanks

Is there any other FLASHABLE RECOVERY images besides CWM 2.x? and if there isnt.. is it possible to port Recovery images from other phones like the motorola cliq? JROD had a good recovery for the cliq... and so does AMON-RA...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
If you search there is Clockwork 3 ported somewhere for the Slide if I can find it I will post a link
[myTouch 3G Slide General] etu_aty:
well for one part we only have clockwork, porting a recovery would be kinda hard and nobody is really interested in doing so since we have a fully working recovery.

why would you need to change it? now with s-off and CWM 2.x perma flashed its all good :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mymomma8:
Currently i have S-OFF and CWM2.5 Flashed permanently... the only reason why i was asking is because There are a couple of features i think we are missing... one of them being SD PARTITION without the need of a computer... since windows doesnt let you partition removable devices.... and CWM 3.0 Has this option... but for some reason.. i just CANNOT get 3.0 to flash right on my phone... i get a whole bunch of recovery/cache errorss..

hi

i know there is no rom for rtl languages or hebrew (the i-9000 has). i did succeed to inject hebrew fonts for sms and brawser + install a hebrew querty. my question is how to make this rom fully rtl.

i have problems with gmail in hebrew is still showing rtl language but in mirror, and calendar notes are also showing mirrored hebrew fonts.

if someone knows of a fix for this plz let me know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afarhi:
Same problem...

Hi dorbanz3. I have the same phone (SGS T-Mobile Vibrant), and the same problem. I installed Darky's ROM, the Hebrew works (RTL), but many other things don't.... Were you able to get the RTL issue resolved?
[G Tablet Accessories] wholeshot:
Hi everyone, I bought the G tablet for my son for Christmas and having been searching for accessories ever since. My persistence paid off. I emailed ViewSonic directly and called repeatedly until I finally got through to a legit person. I was advised on January 19th that accessories such as a docking station, cases, and other plug-ins are on the way. I was promised to have a docking station sent to me free of charge, so I'll let you know when that comes and I'll post some pictures. The timeline was vague, but he said within 4 weeks the accessories should start showing up at Office Depot and the other retailers selling the G tab. I'll keep everyone posted.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
That would be so nice, as long as it's a good price point I welcome accessories here in the states and 'readily' available.

I hope this holds up!

... I'm really tired of shipping stuff.
[G Tablet Accessories] nunjabusiness:
I'm curious. Did you send in the free dock rebate thingy with Sears or did they just offer you one because you were persistent? I would really like one and I can be quite persistent too.;)
[G Tablet Accessories] dymon:
That's great news - I bought a case from Staples that's meant for the Ipad supposedly that's just gotten a teensy bit too big for the gtab so having a nicely fit jacket would be helpful.
[G Tablet Accessories] wholeshot:
After three calls and 2 conversations with his secretary, the individual I talked with said he had overall responsibility for the Gtab. We talked about the many accessories and at the end of the call he offered the dock. It was from persistence.
[G Tablet Accessories] ckelly33:
What was said here? Can you elaborate?
[G Tablet Accessories] wholeshot:
Carrying cases, cases with keypads, and docking stations were mostly discussed. He kept coming back to the docking station saying it could either stand next to a desktop or alone on a desk. We also discussed the carrying cases, which he made it sound like a leather case because he indicated that it would be nice to take to meetings for professionals. He said many accessories will begin showing up at the retailers, but we really didn't go through a whole list. I'm just as anxious as everyone else to see what many accessories ends up being and the docking station when that arrives.
[G Tablet Accessories] GTablet:
I hate to sound like a skeptic; however I have heard this same story from them since Thanksgiving and it is always the same time line given. While I would truly be happy if this was real, my advice would be to not get your hopes up too high.

There are G Tablet users on here scouring the web looking for alternatives that work for this tablet. There are also a plethora of new 10" tablets starting to hit the market which seem to have more accessory support than our G Tablets. Those accessories should work very nicely for our tablet and we will then have a variety of items to choose.

While I am a HUGE fan of this tablet (I own 2 of them); I have been very disappointed with Viewsonic and the very poor go to market strategy (or lack thereof) which was employed.

Misses on this tablet:

1: They did not have accessories ready to ship when tablet released

2: The ROM was at best half baked and disappointed EVERYONE; this caused something with great hardware to quickly accumulate a bad rep with little hope of recovery. Lets be honest... it has gotten pretty bad reviews!

3: Little to no marketing effort on the behalf of Viewsonic. (They just dumped it out there and no real fan fare was given. I would attribute that to the fact they knew the ROM was crap and did not want to attract too much attention).

4: No real effort on Viewsonic's part to really turn this situation around; oh yes they have made a few cosmetic changes to the ROM... but really folks... that is about it.

Hits on this tablet:

1: Excellent hardware

Champions:

The XDA Devs who took on the monumental task of making this tablet worth owning! The only reason I have two of these is because of all of the efforts and sharing being done by the XDA community as a whole. Viewsonic needs to finacially support these devs and give all of us an accessory of our choice or ship us an upgraded device (whatever they are going to replace this with in the future) due to the primary fact they we beta tested this device and were used as unwitting Guinna pigs by Viewsonic.

Again... don't hold your breath... you will surely turn blue and die before this happens.

I am very happy with this tablet and for what I wanted in a tablet this will serve me well for quite a while. Just remember when something is Bleeding Edge... it does mean YOU will bleed while trying to make the new technology work!

Just my two cents worth.... :eek::eek:
[G Tablet Accessories] cbmoore9:
I guess we will collectively hold our breath...
[G Tablet Accessories] cbmoore9:
Perhaps off topic but has anyone seen any sales numbers (units sold) for the gTablet? It probably wouldn't make economic sense to roll out a line of accessories if sales sucked. I did some research last week and didn't find anything. Plenty out there on competitors tablets though.
[G Tablet Accessories] DumbUglyDragon:
I'm guessing not so good seeing how several retailers returned all of their stock. The reviews were mostly negative or mixed at best. All of this was due to crap ROM it shipped with. The average consumer would much rather shell out the extra money for a different tablet instead of going through the trouble of flashing a custom ROM like us.
[G Tablet Accessories] edwichdg:
I agree...

The only thing holding this up is the HARDWARE. I'm currently looking to put a newer ROM on there than the one I put on after I discovered the monstrosity they had shipped it with..

A leather jacket would be great.

I saw a dock for the Gtab on merimobiles... 45.00... check here first:

[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
Dock in Hand

I ordered the dock from Merimobiles on the 17th and it arrived today on the 31st. Completely took me by surprise. I was trying to beat the Chinese New Years. I was expecting it in another few weeks frankly. Too bad Viewsonic didn't have a number of these in wait at the launch. Probably needed to rebrand. A sticker would have sufficed for me. Now to get back to testing it ....
[G Tablet Accessories] Dawg Fan:
Has anyone received a defective docking station? Mine will not charge the Tablet. I placed the tablet in the docking station and plugged the station in a wall outlet with the AC/DC convertor I got with the Tablet. The light on the tablet never came on and the tablet was never charged.

Also, there was something fairly heavy that was moving around inside the dock as you rotated or shifted it. I don't know if something was broken inside or it was just a weight used to make the dock more stable. It just didn't seem normal. When I contacted Merimobiles they seemed upset and said that no one had returned this unit and that it was a very well-made item.

Well, I'm returning it.
[G Tablet Accessories] tompc:
Consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine from Merimobiles on 12/29 and still have not received it. I got one reply from them after several attempts that the processing got delayed b/c of Xmas and that it didn't ship until 1/4. I finally got a tracking number and it says it shipped on 1/26. I'll spare you all the language that is going through my head for this company.
[G Tablet Accessories] SgtJake:
I like to see some accessories here in the US also. I’m a little leery about buying thing from overseas vendors. Either way I think we’ll be waiting a while for something to show up.

I'm waiting patiently for legit accessories. Personally, i'd like to see a decent charging dock and case with keyboard attachment that isn't glued together / looks like a grade 6 art project.

Patiently waiting. :(

I warned you guys... don't hold you’re breath waiting on official accessories... you will only turn a deep shade of blue... LOL :D
[G Tablet Accessories] shaggyneo:
Just called and got the answer that there is currently no official release date for anything from them. Was told to check Radio Shack for other tablet cases that will work with my gtab.
[G Tablet Accessories] Luckymoi:
This a terrific news!

I have the case/keyboard already but want a docking station. My son's computer class would like an Android class (they use Windows, yuck!) so the docking station would be just what I need when teching this topic. I am too nervous about direct ordering from China so thanks for this post with an alternate.

Someone just reported in the General forum that US Merchants said they are shipping the free Sears rebate docks, so there may be hope yet!
[G Tablet Accessories] chili_red:
I spoke with customer support today also and they stated that they are looking for a vendor that can supply the docs and are still planning on offering them in the future but no date as to when. As for cases they don't have anything yet and suggested trying some that are locally available.

He also said that they released a version 1.2 update on 2/28 and it could take up to two weeks for it to show up on the over the air update. I'm running TnT Lite anyway. He said that the update is more of a performance upgrade and nothing will really change in the UI.

Received my free docking station on Wednesday, 3/9/11. Maker is Malata with the name Zpad Dock on the box. Everything written in Chinese except where it notes that it has an HDMI, USB, LAN and AC 100-240V; DC 12V. Gtab sits up nice on the stand and works really well. Wasn't what I was looking for, but it arrived. I was more interested in a case with keyboard built in. I guess that "Malata" is the place to search for other accessories.
[G Tablet Accessories] jpramlak:
Can we see some pics?
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I believe that the docks floating around are all the same... there are pics here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865038
[G Tablet Accessories] wholeshot:
The pictures provided on the link from Steve are identical to the docking station I received. From the research I did on the docking station, Malata Z pad is pretty much the same tablet as the Gtab. Still haven't seen any other accessories from Viewsonic. A bit depressing, but at least Malata may have some accessories that will work.
[G Tablet Accessories] twaitforitk:
I found a belkin case at fry's that fits it nicely its a 10.1 inch netbook case. Fits nice and has a pocket. I also got a screen protector from skinomi, fits nice hard to put on but worth it for 11 bucks. Would love a dock but haven't got one yet.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] earlz83:
Hello, long time reader, first time poster. I'm using the stock Windows Mobile ROM on my Tilt 2. The network I am using is AT&T.

There has been some weird things that break without any reason on my phone. Internet broke earlier today, but I figured that out by creating my own connection to wap.cingular. (and not using the preconfigured Media Net connection).

Now, the only problem that I've had for a few months now that I haven't been able to resolve is this strange MMS error. I can receive MMS messages fine, but when I go to send an MMS message it will act like its sending for a few minutes, and then an error pops up saying "Wrong Structure"

I have tried a few different things, including resetting the messaging settings according to HTC's website

I tried it with Media Net and all my MMS just got a generic "message could not be sent. Saving to drafts" type error. Then, I changed it from Media Net to my created wap.cingular connection and I get the Wrong Structure message.

How do I fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The easiest way would be to call AT&T and have them give you the proper connection settings. Have you tried that?
[G Tablet General] rrgreentree:
A quick background about me: I started looking at picking up a tablet around the end of December for my January birthday. I'm a huge Android fanboi, and have been toying around with/incessantly ROMing my rooted Droid1 for over a year now, so I wanted to step it up a notch and get a tablet that had a reasonably large development backing. And then I found out about the G-tablet. It seemed an almost unobtainable mix of top-of-the-line specs along with hackable software. I had to act on it. I convinced my mom that this was the ONLY thing I wanted for my birthday, and all that I asked for was a nominal (less than 1/4) assistance toward the purchase of the $380 device. She agreed, and I excitedly bought my G-Tab about a week and a half ago. Since then, I've been completely unable to tear myself away from this forum; the activeness of the development community here for the G-Tab is even greater than I imagined, and on an almost daily basis I find a new reason to spend more and more time here (hello Notion Ink ports/forthcoming Honeycomb ports!!!). You guys are seriously a wonderful and brilliant community. I'm sincerely thankful for the great group of people who are significantly smarter than me and are able to do incredible things with such an incredible piece of hardware. I got this device because it was about as hackable a piece of hardware as one could get, and while the development portion of that hackability could have led to a lot of frustration and disappointment, it has MORE THAN met my expectations. As a result, I've got a rooted, custom ROM'd device with a Hulu hack, full market hack, and Swype hack. I honestly couldn't have possibly extracted more value out of a $380 purchase in any theoretical world, and I attribute that all to you, the active developers here.

I know this is my first post and I'm a total n00b, but I really do appreciate what all of you devs have done here, and I wanted to let you all know that.

Thanks, sincerely.
[G Tablet General] copc:
Very nice first post and welcome to Gtab Android Heaven! :D
[G Tablet General] rrgreentree:
Thanks a lot :-D. I hope to one day contribute to this active and robust community. Cheers.
[G Tablet General] 4rs fed:
Welcome, not too many people ever say thanks, always *****ing about something not working. Some of these people here are scary smart!
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
If you have been molesting a droid for over a year, you are nowhere NEAR the n00b I was when I got my Gtab a few weeks ago. I had only seen a couple of droid phones in person, but I liked what I saw. Droid users I have shown my Gtab to have been really impressed with it. The most common comment is "damn that's fast!" (I am running Vegan and loving it.)

And you are so right about these fora, lots of sharp folks here with good instructions (if you are careful to follow them) for just about anything you might need to squeeze onto the tab. I also have yet to see anyone get ugly in a thread like you see in so many other places.

A supportive development community like this can change a lot of things and I am glad to have found it!
[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
Nice post. I like you, was hardly active here at all until I discovered the g tablet. I have since been barely able to tear myself away from the g tablet forum here. A sincere thanks from me as well to the guys doing the hard work making these tablets what they are.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
LOL! So true.
[G Tablet General] cbmoore9:
If you got half a lick of sense and take the time to do your research (before asking stupid or repetitive questions) this community will bend over backwards to help you. I spent about a year researching tablets and when the g-tablet hit this site I realized it's potential and knew it was time to dive in. I've never owned an Android device until buying the g-tab Mid December and the amount I've learned from the smart folks here is phenominal, and i still feel like a noob. Each day is a new learning experience. Kick back and enjoy the ride!
[G Tablet General] Icedvoco:
Im Another noob who has purchased a G-Tab because of the fact that so many of you Devs are doing such a great job with this tablet and sharing your efforts with all the rest of us noobs.

Up till around 2 months ago id had basically no contact with Android other than i knew it was a mobile phone OS by Google. Had never seen it, basically knew nothing about it other than its name.

I had been here to XDA before as i used to own a Dopod mobile phone, and i was using a windows mobile rom from here.

So i was so happy to see that the ipad had started a great new tablet trend (not a ipad fan, but realise if it wasnt for the ipad, the current trend may never have happened). So i was excited when Tablets started kicking off, always wanted one. So i started searching for an alternative to the ipad.

The first tablet i almost bought was a "WeTab", a German 11.6 inch made tablet, it sounded great on paper, great specs, but after i started reading the user reviews, i decided that it wasnt the right tablet for me. Weak touch screen and poor software support put me off.

So i kept looking for the right tablet to get, after a while i settled between either the Gtat, or the Archos. I wanted a 10 inch and these both looked like great tablets. The software review for the G-tab were not good at all, but the hardware specs looked better to me than the Archos.

Since ive been using PC's for almost 20 years now i knew full well Viewsonic was a good brand name, and even if they didnt manufacture the products, it was the quality that went with the name that made me consider the G-tab.

But it wasnt till i checked XDA to see if you guys were doing anything with the G-tab that i realised that thanks to you guys the weak ended software side of the G-tab was not a real issue. That you guys had taken the G-Tab and made it a monster in the jungle :P

I ordered 1 from Amazon, which i learned i could by one from a thread here, and around 2 weeks later it turned up. Ive been having a ball messing with it ever since, Android is great, and you guys make it even greater.

Sorry if i rambled a bit here but i just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for all you guys have done for myself and the rest of us noobs :)
[G Tablet General] oomwrtu:
Echoing the thank yous as the community is the reason I got this tablet when I did.
[G Tablet General] tedlogan42:
Yeah, echoing as well. I bought the device only after I knew that you were out there to make the software issue into a non-issue. I use my tablet only a daily basis for both my work and my pleasure. I wouldn't be able to do either without the great stuff you guys have done. Much appreciated.
[G Tablet General] wnbowman:
Another me to reply. Forgot where i first saw the gTab, but after reading here for a couple of weeks, i found mine at Sears for $379, plus the rebate for the free dock.

Without all of the tremendous resources on this forum, i would have missed out on this journey. I have tried all of the ROMs, and have settled on the Vegan 5.1b rom for now.

Thanks again to all of the developers,and to the non-developers, this would not have bee possible without your persistence in testing these roms and asking the what if questions.
