[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTRSkyR34:
Ginger Villain 2.2 is very good, but I don't like him because the camera is very bad :(

Probably I must change radio, but I don't want do that.

I will get back on stock pre rooted Froyo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGTR:
ive tried leedroid 2.4 and 3 but its not good as some others at the moment.

oxygen is nice but has to much bugs for me, like the automatic backlight

cm7 is nice but to "normal" :D

gingervillian to much bugs too

insert coin is nice

but the best in my opinion is rcmix s, works so lightning fast and clear unbeliveable good rom

test it ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I can also suggest LeeDrOiD. It runs very fast and smooth. :)

But I have to admit, RCMixS v1.2 looks interesting. ;) Maybe in future i will try this oder Oxygen (or both :D).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volapyk:

I'm working on sourcing some .3mm thick MiFare1K-compatible adhesive label tags... until then, I just glued a normal "credit card sized" MiFare to the back of my business card:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjUoSO__Bno

Someone asked me, "How much does each of your business cards cost now?"

My reply, "Who cares, you only need ONE - you had someone your card, they swipe it by their phone and hand it back!"

I also have other cards with various functions I'm playing with: "text me" "call me" as well as various home automation functions (I can go to a URL to turn on my lights, so I just encode the card with the URL).

Can't wait until Android can do P2P with the NFC, that's when this will start to get real fun.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
that will only work when everyone have a build in NFC reader in their phone

until then, the trick is nice, but not ready for prime time

better make sure to NOT give out your NFC business card to some one who plans to Keep your Business Card :p

i'll be interested to make one for my own business

i wonder how much it'll cost to make one of those
[Nexus S General] pkx:
Well uh, yeah... :) Apple has announced that the new iPhone5 & iPad will have NFC, so it's coming sooner rather than later. Sorry you just see it as a 'trick'... it was just an exercise for me to learn about it, get ahead of the curve, and maybe evangelize it a bit.

I got the ACR122U SDK on eBay which included 5 MiFare1K cards. $150ish.
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
Kudos, the whole NFC thing is going to take off big time in the next year, mark my words. Staying one step ahead is a very good idea!
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I had heard there were rumors but not that it was announced. Either way I agree that nfc should come into greater use as it is amazing tech.

Sent from my CM7 Nexus S!
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
Cool card!

Unfortunately, NFC will blow up once Apple brings it.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
Why is that unfortunate? We WANT NFC to be big. Who cares if it gets big by Apple implementing it?

The only downside is that Apple WILL claim that they invented NFC, and will call it iNFC. :D
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
LOL :D so true
[Nexus S General] pkx:
Some more details since others were curious:

I used an ACS122U SDK kit I got off of eBay - included 5 MiFare1K cards. Installed drivers, then used this app to write to the cards: http://nfctagger.sourceforge.net/

I simply chose "smart poster" NFC type in NFCTagger, made the text "Kris Linquist's vCard", and made the URL http://www.linquist.net/vcard

Unfortunately you can't link directly to a vcard since Android will just display it as text (ugh - known issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9215)

I used (http://533design.com/vcard/)'s solution of having a PHP script (/vcard/index.php) tell the Android browser to download the vcard as an attachment.

The only gotcha I ran into was re-writing the cards. The NFCTagger app rewrites KeyA & KeyB during the first card programming, but it apparently has issues (maybe just with this specific reader) re-authenticating to the card with it's 'known' keys. I had to use ACS's EasyKey utility (included in the SDK) to re-format all 16 sectors one by one.

Keys for sector 0: A0A1A2A3A4A5 / D3F7D3F7D3F7

Keys for sector 1-15: D3F7D3F7D3F7 / D3F7D3F7D3F7

With the SDK, I will probably write a quick C# app to automate the formatting (or use a command line app I found, MiCmd http://code.google.com/p/micmd/).
[Nexus S General] Epiksol:
Very cool. Looking forward to NFC gaining momentum and being adopted in more phones as time progresses.

As far as I see it, Apple adopting NFC will only make it mainstream. This, my friends, is exactly what we want.

Thanks for sharing.
[Nexus S General] Lord_Buckington:
Not only that, but they'll no doubt try and make it proprietary. If you read some news, they're already acting like Apple will be inventing it in a few months, which doesn't make sense anyway.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
any idea how much it'll cost to to order those NFC TAG cards in major quantities?

it's great for printing out the business card on one side and a advertisement on the other side, then have them "Scan Me" to see more

it's perfect to pich a sales to Insurance Agents, they love that kind of stuff :D
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
Yeah, its not unfortunate but you know what I mean...they'll take all the credit, its isad.
[Nexus S General] Overrange:
This is a very cool idea...

mifare ultralight c tickets as business card

I made such business cards but there's a more elegant solution than gluing labels onto existing business cards. I bought Mifare Ultralight C paper tickets which e.g. you can get at smartcardfocus.com / smartcardfocus.us. They are meant to be used as tickets for events, transportation etc. but they happen to be the exact size of a standard business card.

The only worry is printing on them. Note that you don't strictly need to print something on them, after all with NFC it's about what's in the card, not what's on it. However I still but some info on them for people that don't have NFC (yet) and also the URL as a QR code as a fallback. To print on them, I just attach them to a regular A4 sheet of paper using a bit of scotch tape around the edges and feed them into a standard laser printer. Then you can pry the card off the sheet, the sticky tape won't damage it if you're careful.

[G Tablet General] rjpear:
Ok..Just got the G today (thankss to the Great folks at XDA and the lack of Speed on the part of Notion Ink to get ordering modernized).. Funny thing is on boot everything Forced Closed..Andorid Errors on everything....I didn't even have to touch the screen..Just everything slammed shut.. I wasn't overly concerned..but on Reboot everything seems to be fine. The Worse part so far (in owning it 1 hour) is the Slippery nature of the device. Has anyone come up with a Tactile Substance for the back of the thing that will give it a Rubberized feel? I have seen Texture Paint from Rustoleum but don't think I want that now if there is a warranty issue. There is that Textured Carbon Fiber looking stuff that is for sale by a G user..

Any other ideas out there.. I almost just bought some Duct tape and went to town on it.. ;-)

BTW..For the fun of it I sent the Notion Ink Snffer APK found on the forums to my Droid 1..and she worked well.. Good stuff..
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
If you want rubberized back, try 3/32" high density foam rubber. Michael's has sticky back 8x12 sheets in several colors for $1.00
[G Tablet General] rjpear:
Interesting idea... I think it would be kinda smooth though..but thats the right Idea.. I should check it out..
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
I don't know about this seller specifically, but found this looking for Gtab stuff at Aliexpress. I also don't fully understand their "escrow" process, but it looks like they don't release the funds to him until you confirm delivery. His lack of feedback bothers me some.

URL REMOVED TO PROTECT EVERYONE

Less than $300 for a lot of two is an amzingly great deal, I just wish I had an extra $300 laying around. Hell, if I had a few grand I would probably buy him out and undersell everybody on ebay with them!
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
Yea but if you look BEFORE he 'cut n paste' the Viewsonic Page he has this...

Screen Size:

10"

Products Status:

Graphics Card Type:

Integrated Card

Processor Type:

Intel Atom

Processor Brand:

Intel

Type:

Netbook,Tablet PC,UMPC

Hard Drive Capacity:

120GB

Memory Capacity:

512MB

Seems awfully fishy??? Not to mention this seller has NO feedback from what I could find...
[G Tablet General] gksmith:
It looks like you need to buy two or more to get this pricing.

Viewsonic G-Tablet with 10" Multi-Touch LCD Screen, Android OS 2.2

Unit Price:US $242.11 - 263.16 / lot

2 pieces / lot, $121.06 - 131.58 / piece

Min. Order: 1lot .
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
Yeah, exactly why I hesitate. It does show some purchases though, so I will be monitoring it for feedback from them.
[G Tablet General] Sm0k3d 0uT:
I try to stay away from aliexpress. Heard too many horror stories of people never getting their items, or what they received was not what the ordered, or it just broken.

On top of that the specs advertised are wrong. A good indication to stay away from a seller. Usually it means the seller has no idea what the product they are selling is. You could wind up with a Viewpad.
[G Tablet General] doctorisin:
Customs

Are these things going to get stuck at customs? IT2STEVE, you have some importing experience (docks/cases/adapters)... how easy/painful is the process? And what should we expect to pay in taxes/duty/fees?

There is no feedback, but there is a large order history, so maybe something will pop up there soon. The order screen does say that this store is 7.8% above average for orders completed (tho it doesn't say what the average is!)

As for the specs... the right specs are in the article below the summary. That sort of thing happens on EBay all the time. He probably posted the other tablet first (the Intel Atom/Win7 one in his store) then started from that ad to make the GTab one.
[G Tablet General] mkuzminov:
this is very good, that would be true

I do not believe

buy, then we Tell:)

1. "No feedback received for this supplier over the past 6 months"

[G Tablet General] aver2one:
Imho if it sounds too good to be true.... it is.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I can afford to risk buying these, but is it too much of a risk? I wouldn't mind getting atom based tablets, because it would be easier to then install a real OS, like Ubuntu. I've been waiting for one to turn up at a local Sears Oulet store. My g-tablet runs great with the stock + updates, so I would use a used one to experiment with.

I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't have any feedback yet, maybe because he just joined AliExpress on January 5th. I found these comments about the seller. Not too good:

http://ask.alibaba.com/Q/802132883-...PRESS-as-SIMON-HAN-without-me-responding.html

I want to pull the trigger on this, but I'm not a dumb-ass. I need to drink some beer first, then I will become a dumb-ass, and may purchase them!:D
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
LOL, Scotch for me - but I would do it right now if I had the extra simoleons. I've wasted larger amounts of cash on riskier things! ;)

There's no way this is legit. The same seller is also selling a 9.7" atom tablet with a 16Gb SSD and 3G with Windows 7/ Windows XP / Linux (ALL THREE INSTALLED!) on it for $115 for each tablet when you buy two.

Yeah right!!!!! LOL.

[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Please don't get yourself scammed. Nobody is going to be able to offer a new G Tab for less than $300.

The parts cost for a G Tablet is probably about $170 (Galaxy Tab was about $205 in estimated parts cost according to the breakdowns I've seen, you can back into costs for a G Tablet pretty easily), assembled and packaged, figure $180-$190 for a G Tablet. And companies have shipping, overhead, fixed costs, and returns to cover.

I'm guessing that in 1000 unit lots, Sears et. al. paid something like $250 per unit, and they dumped the returns at slightly over cost (maybe even at their cost?) from Sears outlet when they were selling returned units for $279.
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
You are forgetting that the manufacturing is in China. Different processes and different laws governing this. I used to be a purchasing agent for IBM and bought many millions of dollars worth of parts for manufacturing so I am pretty confident that the Gtab could be had for well under $200US.

However, after a little more research - I now agree with ALL of the naysayers.

This guy is definitely a scammer and is not to be trusted.
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
the VERY FIRST dock and first lot I ordered took a while. I have it going with a vendor now that it 'seems' I'm getting things about three days after he ships. For the most part when I'm getting a tracking number it's being delivered on time. I've even seen the 'notice' where customs has opened and inspected it.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I had my ZT-180 tablet seized by the local U.S.Customs office. It was seized because it did not have a sticker saying the wireless was FCC approved, and/or the proper documents regarding this. I had to come up with the forms and documents, AND pay a $100 fee.

The only reason I even considered this offer was because the g-tablet is marked as being FCC approved.
[G Tablet General] RoyD:
I just placed an order for 1 lot with aliexpress. Only way to tell if it is O.K. is to try, have fingers crossed.
[G Tablet General] Aloha-There:
Wish you the best of luck Roy. Personally, I was about to order this G-TAB from aliexpress a week ago, but Thanks to God I stumbled upon this website :). Have to be cautious from now on.

Secondly, I have seen Simon Hans other products (except the G-tab and Intel atom 10'' Tablet pc .. which are going awfully cheap), to be sold at their normal prices and with a good transaction history. I have also dropped an email to him but no reply yet. That said, Aliexpress is by far the most reliable chinese trade marketplace, better than Dhgate and globalsources.

Perhaps he's selling it off cheap when shackles pulled the G-TAB off their shelves due to early software issue or rejection issues and somehow VS sold their g-tabs to China due to rejection and to cover its break-up cost.

Anyways, I am more concerned that you and hope you get your G-TAB :D
[G Tablet General] RoyD:
Since they hold payment in escrow untill I"m in receipt of tablets not to concerned. Just disappointed that it did not work. But thats life, just wait for another good deal around the corner. If this turns out alright and I did not try I would be more disappointed in myself for missing it.

Roy
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
Definitely a bad idea, i've ordered ALOT of stuff from aliexpress before and I can tell you that A LOT of sellers will use the bait and switch, and send you a crap item thats worthless, once you receive it and make a complaint 2 things will happen:

1) Aliexpress takes 2-3 months to do anything

2) They ask you to ship the item back, but shipping back to china will run you around $100 for UPS or FedEX which is needed for the tracking number, so its not worth it to ship it, that or the seller will just not accept the item at all so you will be out you cash.

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. I hope you used a credit card to order so you can call your credit card company up and dispute the charges because you'll need to do it.
[G Tablet General] RoyD:
Something better paypal, I would not use a credit card for any over seas orders.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Good advice. I spent two months hassle with visa on the Enzo zt 180 cortex processor lie and they would not do anything for me unless i sent the unit back to china. Not worth the shipping cost.
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
Don't waste your time with Aliexpress. It will be a horrible. I'm speaking from personal experience. Aliexpress is a selling agent for various Chinese manufacturers and vendors. Your money goes into escrow (held by Aliexpress until the vendor or manufacturer delivers the goods) and released when that has happened. I spent nearly 4 weeks just trying to get someone to respond to my complaint that the item I order had shipped. Worst the vendor sent me a bogus tracking number only to find out that no shipment had taken place. I eventually received a refund but only after spending days insisting that I get my money back.
[G Tablet General] sanvara:
Chances are this won't turn out well but for your sake hope it does.
[G Tablet General] BigJohn89:
Though I am not trying to negate the scamminess (is that even a word?) of the site, I believe he posted the specs for the Viewsonic 10s tablet, not the G-tab. IIRC, Sears did the same thing with their original G-Tab posting on their site and caused a bit of confusion.

Regardless of which, I was under the impression that the 10s cost around $600+, which would make this deal even more "too good to be true."

BigJohn
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Sears still is posting the specs of the Atom based ViewPad, but the model# says "G Tablet"
[G Tablet General] sanvara:
Same seller has Pioneer AVIC-X920BT for $236. This sells for $700 everywhere. This seller's prices defy all logic and common sense. At worst you will get nothing. At best you will get a knockoff/counterfeit that is not the real thing.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
And don't forget: Everything has free shipping!!!
[G Tablet General] Aloha-There:
Any progress with your shipping, RoyD ? Did you track your shipping with their given tracking number? PLease let us have some feedback.
[G Tablet General] RoyD:
Have not received tracking #. They started thier new years holiday today so it maybe a few more days to get one. They show they are sold out of the item. Still have my fingers crossed.
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
I sent the seller an email several days ago with interest to bulk purchase and check on availability... needless to say I've yet to hear back?
[G Tablet General] Aloha-There:
Any update, Roy ?
[G Tablet General] cbinks:
unreal price = fake product?
[G Tablet General] RoyD:
So far not a word. But I notice he has more of them for sale at a higher price, not a bad price either. Fingers beginning to hurt also. mystery deepens will he ship item.
[G Tablet General] msieg080:
This is quite the mystery, and good for you for taking that jump! I am excited to see the outcome and only wished I wouldn't have bought my GPad just two weeks ago, lol! Good luck!

My experience

I also was seduced by the lovely prices in Simon Han's shop. I ordered and paid via Paypal 2 days ago. Just stumbled on this thread and have decided to cancel my order. He hasn't shipped yet according to he Aliexpress order page, so i guess everything will be alright.

I still need him to confirm the order cancellation though.:mad:

AliExpres.com

I cant confirm receipt yet but I have been working with them a buyer named Wilice they are modifieing 2 G-tablet cases for me that way the back button and the power button are not blocked I will let you all know what happens.. I did choose escro for payment as you do not release funds untill you receive the product.. wich I think is a good thing..

This is my first purchase with them but so far all communications with this "paticular " seller has been great... new cases should ship monday ... Received an e-mail last night that the modifications had been made and will ship Monday.. I will post pictures..

it is always a Buyer beware world...

[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I can no longer find Simon Han's store on Aliexpress. Has he now disappeared?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Wouldn't surprise me if he got the boot from Aliexpress. Or just decided to close up shop and open a new shop with a new name after taking enough peoples' money. This has always been an obvious scam or illegal sale, since the price was less than any reasonable estimates of Malata's cost on a G Tablet. So either he didn't intend to ship anything, didn't intend to ship the stated product, or the product existed but fell off the back of a truck, as they say in New Jersey.

There are good deals out there in the world, but if you can't figure out why somebody wants to sell something to you at a loss (i.e. promotional pricing to get you in the door to buy other stuff), then you should assume you're getting screwed in some way.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:

What were you trying to flash and what ROM did you have beforehand? The Odin results you post look like what you get if you have tried to flash an un-signed ROM onto a Tab with signed bootloaders.

I had JMF then i flashed Modaco Kernel ext4 and then i flashed roto v4 upgrade
[Galaxy Tab General] bdl1969:
Hmmm. I don't really like suggesting this but you may have to flash JM6 complete with bootloaders, PIT file and repartition selected to bring your Tab back to life. This will leave you with the horrible signed bootloaders but you can get rid of them with the app from Chainfire / Rotohammer and then you'll be free to flash any kernel you want. Be very careful flashing bootloaders as if that flash fails you could end up with a 'hard brick', please don't blame me if you choose to follow my advice and your device dies.....!
