Can anyone link to the pin-out for the connector? Also, does anyone know if the connector is a standard type that could be ordered form a component supplier?
[G Tablet Accessories] fab4272:
Me too. Would make playing games using the tilt sensor easier when displaying on the big screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
Use Search... I and others have posted much on this before. If there was a quick viable solution, the forum will be screaming with it as soon as it appears. Not any time soon unfortunately.

Power needed for HDMI?

I've noticed that without the power plugged into the dock, neither the HDMI nor the ethernet ports work. Wouldn't such a cable then need to supply power as well?
[G Tablet Accessories] clintre:
This would most certainly be a huge benefit. I plan on using my GTab for business as well as work. Would be great if a simple cable was available as opposed to the dock. I know the dock is small, but the inconvenience is still there.

There are times I have 15 minutes to get setup and present to potential clients. If I could just plugin a cable, it would be golden!!
[G Tablet Accessories] ensign.fodder:
Nope but here is a thread with someone in China who "says" they are working on it.

There was a post buried in one of the threads, that stated it's the same connector that apple uses. I will confirm this weekend.
[G Tablet Accessories] mpguy84:
Very interesting! Would of just flew by me in that aspect. If this is true, then we can potentially use the ipod to hdmi port that was made for the 4th gen ipods and iphones. Let me know how that turns out. We probably have to create drivers for it though.
[G Tablet Accessories] mpguy84:
"The Viewsonic Tablet also has a 30 pin iPod like connector on the bottom that's used for -- well, nothing at the moment. There is not even any associated cable in the box. It's not actually iPod/iPad compatible, and very sadly, it is not the new PDMI standard. Theoretically, Viewsonic will be coming out with cables and docks that break this connector out into HDMI, charging, USB, etc. Again, it's only theoretical at the moment, but the G-Tablet should be able to crank 720p HD Video out that port. Also seen at the left of the unit in the following picture is the tiny hole for the microphone."

According to

w w w . linuxslate . o r g/Review_Viewsonic_G-Tablet_Android_Tablet.html

**EDIT**

Checked and the ipod version is 30 pin also.... sooooooo i wonder if they line up with the ipod version. The above is probably stating that this has no drivers as of yet, but doesnt mean that devs cant attach a kernal that enables whatever pin to do whatever.

Or is there a certain suit that has to follow? like pin 1 (+ hdmi power) or whatever. Thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] mpguy84:
Just checked, I had one on me lol, it doesnt fit at ALL!!! sorry guys
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
It looks awfully close... to the iPad connector.

Even if the connector fits, I'll bet big money the pinout is completely different. No big deal, I just need to find the mating connector. I can make a cable (would have to put an active chip in it to get HDMI output and find power on the connector).
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
People with a sansa player cable claim it fits, but I wasted $20 on a "sansa break out cable"from a company called Kinetica, but it does not fit......but it fits the I pad.....I told them about it and they claim it is different than than the I pad connector....I tried......
[G Tablet Accessories] cranky_dan:
A really quick eyeball inspection seems to show the connector to be *very* similar to the apple docking connector. I'm kind of half-heartedly trying to fidget and see how the plug is modded to fit.

But above all else, I'm no expert. Just someone who wants to see if the plug can be tricked into fitting without wrecking my gtab.

[G Tablet Accessories] nunjabusiness:
"Tricked into fitting?"

Man, I hope you don't do your own auto repairs!:eek:

Seriously folks, the likelihood of a connector made by two completely different manufacturers having the same pinout is pretty low and just jimmying things around is pretty likely to ruin the connectors and possibly the device as well.

There is a thread about a cable in China being worked on, really can't imagine an off-the-shelf match, much as I would love to see it. Hell, my gtab would have a 32-inch 1080 display if there was.:D
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
No one cares if the cable has the same pinout... that can be changed with simple rewiring. Just need a physical fit and considering how the chinese manufacture stuff, I wouldn't be surprised to find them "borrowing" parts from other devices.
[G Tablet Accessories] lllooo:
If the dock on the new T8 is the same as T2, there is a pic in the malata website showing that the t8 have a cable that connect the dock to the hdmi. If is true, it will be in the market soon.

New user... can't post link and pic
[G Tablet Accessories] h3llphyre:
I confirmed, the iPod connector is just slightly the wrong size. The pins line up, but it won't plug in, because the thinner position of the plug (the stepped part) is a tad too wide.

Next step, take it apart, look for a part number, and start researching.
[G Tablet Accessories] xdzt:
Does anyone know if that EE guy in the other thread ever backwards engineered the circuit board and chips inside the dock?
[G Tablet Accessories] karlkarloff:
I was just digging around and noticed that our dock connector looks a lot like the Zune dock connector. I don't have one to try, but if someone does, can't hurt to give it a go.

EDIT: Just did more digging...the Zune is only a 24 pin connector...nevermind.

[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
So I got my XT720 a few days ago and am loving it. Two things though:

1) I've had to do a quick reset (take out battery) about 4-5 times in the same amount of days. What happens is sometimes the screen will go blank (or when I press the on button all that will happen is the 4 buttons at bottom of phone will light up). Screen/phone becomes unresponsive and only way to get back to normal is to take out battery. I'm pretty sure that every time this has happened has been right (or shortly) after me downloading something on my phone (i.e. putting on a new wallpaper, or a song). Anyone have this happen to them?

2) I don't want to root or put on Dexter's ROM just yet. The reason for this is because a) I just got my phone and I don't want to void the warranty until I know everything works with no issues b) I'd rather wait for the complete/fully polished version of the ROM - I'm in no hurry right now, this phone is a big big upgrade from my previous phone even without 2.2.

Anyways, the point is, I'm pretty sure my phone isn't running with the 720MHz update right now and is running at 550. I want to put on that update to make my phone faster while I wait to root. However, whenever I go to - about phone - check for system updates - and click on that, it always tells me "Server unavailable. Try again later.". Been trying for the past few days and no luck. How can I get the 720MHz update (without rooting - at this point)?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
If the screen doesn't come on when you turn on the phone, you may have a defective one. My first XT720 was a dud right out of the box. I had to take it back to the Cincinnati Bell store and get it exchanged. I've heard of other people having similar experiences with the phone not turning on. Take it back. If they give you any crap about it, just tell them that the Motorola tech from their forums told you to take it back. This adds a bit of validity to the problem and may make it an easier transaction.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Nah, it works fine for the most part. Turns on and off and runs just fine normally. But my issue is I've just had it basically freeze up 4-5 times in the past week (noticing a possible connection to me downloading things).
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I would think your phone is running at 720mhz. I believe the European / Asian versions were originally 550mhz & had an ota udate to the 720 level. You could download Android System Info or Elixer to check it out though.

I would also agree with reverendkjr, it the phone is acting funky take it back & get a replacement.
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
The XT720 from Wind is 720mhz with stock firmware, the only 550mhz was Korean version AFAIK, maybe some Euro versions.

As for the screen, you may want to try doing a factory reset on your phone. If it persists after that take it back to Wind for a replacement, had my wife's XT720 replaced due to a microphone problem.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Oh? I figured it might be at 550 since going back to homescreen - it reloads pretty often (thought 720 wouldn't do that), though it does run snappy enough in all other areas.

Be a bit of a pain to factory reset at this point. The problem isn't terribly disruptive at this point. Doesn't happen often enough to really bother me and restarting is quick. If it does continue and become frustrating I may consider factory reset. I just was wondering if anyone else experienced this.

WIND would give me a replacement at any time (within the year) if I told them about this issue? (Kind of hard to prove since it happens at it's own whim. Don't want to seek a replacement just yet anyways - not unless it continues and is an annoyance)
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
Just put a call into support so they have a record of the problems, explain to them you cant reproduce the problem, but it is a brand new phone and should not be doing this regardless.

They will suggest the reset to see if the issue persists, but you can decline at this time and at least get the issue logged so you have a better chance of replacement in the future.

Keep in mind though, within 14 days they will replace with a new phone, beyond that you may get a used one.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I can't imagine just ignoring a problem with a new phone like that. Especially since you have the ability to have it replaced for free.

Heck, I took a phone back once because it had ONE dead pixel on the screen. When the girl looked at me and said "Really?" I said "Hell yes, I just bought this damn thing and I want it to be PERFECT!"
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
you need to setup the APN to connect to 3G to get your 720 upgrade from OTA (if purchased unlocked Euro or Asia models)

if it's a Wind XT720 it should already be on 720
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Yeah, I suppose that's true. If it happens again I'll look into getting it replaced.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Milestone XT720 General] texascowboy:
my XT711 has done the "blank screen a few times also and I have to remove the battery to reset it. Very strange thing, but I have had the phone for only a few days so im gonna see what its gonna do first cause sending it back to china is a pain in th butt.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonMan2:
I am running Sprint Lover's 2.2, and my market is acting very strange. I will not update/download certain programs - Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Fring, Documents to Go.

I was able to download programs from the Market on the phone (Medscape) and from the Market web (American Airlines). Additionally, I can update other apps. Very puzzling.

Initially, I thought that this related to problems I was having with connecting to 4g. However, once I updated my Profile and PRL, I was able to use 4G with no problems.

I then deleted the cache and data for the Market app. No change.

I rebooted. No change.

I did a battery pull. No change.

I then unmounted and remounted the SD Card. No change.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Ron
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonMan2:
Oops. I forgot to describe the Market's behavior.

For Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Documents to Go, the download icon flashes for a second and then stops.

For Fing, the app completely downloads and I then receive an installation error message saying that the package file is invalid.
[Nook Color General] devin.slick:
I was running froyo off of eMMC with the OCed kernel at 1.1ghz.

Replaced the SD card with another and although clockwork was already installed I used rom manager to install it again before selecting reboot to recovery to make backup. I did this because I thought it might need to have some temporary files on the SD card in order to reboot into recovery from within rom manager.

It turned off.

Since then I have tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, holding it while holding the 'nook' button, booting off of SD card, holding ALL the nooks buttons, everything.

The screen will not turn on and it is fully charged.

If I'm not able to fix it soon I'm going to take it back to B&N.

Any other ideas?
[Nook Color General] LeathaLurker:
When you plug in your nook to your computer what happens?
[Nook Color General] al2x:
Download clockwork uSD boot, as well as a stock ROM (preferably stock barnes & noble), and while the unit is off hold down the "n" and press and hold the power button... then re-install
[Nook Color General] devin.slick:
I've tried a bootable clockwork SD card as well, and plugging it into the computer. The only thing that changes is the charging light.
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Other than error in burning an SD card it seems like you burnt out your processor. The 1.1GHz runs at slightly higher voltages which could've caused this
[Nook Color General] tucci999:
same story here except i was not running overclocked, nothing turns on, any ideas
[Nook Color General] generalpelmen:
I don't know you probably tried this but i held my power button for like thirty seconds or so which is like a cold shutdown. Then try powering on like normal worked for me
[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
I just got done with a similar, most frustrating experience.

1) Was on stock B&N 1.0.1... then updated to 1.1.0 --- Everything worked fine

2) Then ran autonooter 3.0 --- installed but could not get Market to work

3) Ran autonooter 3.0 again --- this time Market worked

4) Installed the OC kernel --- started seeing random locks

5) Decided to go CWR and reflash stock --- boot loop back into CWR

6) Formatted /system and /data under "mounts"

7) Accidentally formatted boot --- Oh man, the headache began

From here on out, my NC would not boot.

1) Tried power + n --- nothing

2) Tried holding power for 20 seconds --- nothing

3) Burned Nook Froyo 0.59 SD --- nothing

4) Burned Nook Froyo 0.58 SD --- nothing

5) Burned iMonster's image of bootable CWR --- nothing

6) Decided to hold power down with bootable CWR --- finally boot in CWR

7) Got another SD and copied stock 1.0.1 zip image (found on the forum)

8) Insert SD card and did an "install from SD card"

Finally... it loaded and boot back into stock. Lesson for the day, don't be too quick to press the home button when in CWR, as you might select a wrong action... then you are screwed. Yes... I even scrolled down to the "Yes"... as I wasn't paying attention. Man.... this wasted literally 3 hours of my life. After it stopped booting... was where most of the stress came in...
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
Here's my experience so far, been trying to unbrick my device:

1) Was on stock B&N 1.0.0... then updated to 1.0.1 --- Everything worked fine

2) Used auto-nooter --- got everything to work fine

3) Ran Honeycomb image v4 --- worked

4) Manually installed su --- root worked

5) Applied OC to 1.1Ghz --- worked, then somehow the device booted back to Eclair eMMC

From here on out, my NC would not boot, it doesn't pass the "Touch the future of reading" screen.

1) Tried power + n --- nothing

2) Tried holding power for 20 seconds or till device shuts --- nothing, even for 2-3 cycles of 8 failed resets

3) Burned Nook Froyo 0.67 SD --- nothing

4) Burned Nook Froyo 0.58 SD --- nothing

5) Re-burned HC v4 SD ---nothing

6) Burned iMonster's image of bootable CWR 128mb --- nothing

7) Burned iMonster's image of bootable CWR 1gb --- nothing

8) Tried to hold power down with bootable CWR --- also nothing

9) Tried to burn a Nooter SD, tried SSH tunneling to 192.168.2.2 --- both Windows and Ubuntu clients do not detect

So at this point, I can't even get into bootable CWR, after the screen where the 'LOADING' word is between 2 skulls (the irony haha), the screen remains black (the LCD backlit is switched off).

Anyone in the same shoes as I am, and have found any workarounds, suggestions? Greatly appreciated! :)
[Nook Color General] migrax:
I had this issue too, but it seems I left the autonooter sd card in the slot which prevents booting untill you remove it.

[Nook Color General] ColoradoPhoney:
If you cannot reach it from an ADB shell you *may* be hosed. There's a chance it is actually running and hard-locked in which case waiting for the battery to completely discharge may allow a true cold-boot.

Do some searching in the forums for "nook brick" and you will find several other techniques that have worked for others. Short of frying your CPU, these things really seem pretty bullet proof...

Good Luck.
[Nook Color General] huskermania:
I was literally in the same exact position as you maybe 2-3 hours ago. Thought I bricked my NC as well. Here's what I did to get past everything:

1) Downloaded the 128mb bootable CWR Burned it to a 2GB card using Win32DiskImager. (legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/cwm_128mb.tar.gz)

(Credit: thecubed)

2) Burned it to a 2GB card using Win32DiskImager.

3) Put the card in, held the power button for ~60 seconds. The first time I did this, it worked. I got the two skulls with "loading" in between them. The second time I tried this, (I did it again to verify I knew what the solution was.) I held the power button for a minute again. This time nothing happened. So I just repeated the process. About 20-30 seconds into the second hold, it worked.

4) Download the stock 1.0.1 firmware. (etoile-laconnex.com/nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip)

(Credit: samuelhalff)

5) Drag the .zip onto another sd card. Don't burn it.

6) Remove the card from the NC. -> Insert the one with the stock firmware on it.

7) In CWR, go to install from sd. Find the .zip

8) Reboot into stock 1.0.1 firmware.

That's how I got out of it twice. The biggest thing was pressing the power button for a while, even multiple times.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
This last option could work. If not, do the same (flash in CWR) but with the boot repair zip files found on my froyo on emmc thread.

Don't panic. Very little chance your NC is bricked..

Sam
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
Hi guys, thanks. I've added these to my attempts, without any improved results:

Retried:

1) Tried power + n (nothing, stuck at 'Touch the Future of Reading')

2) Tried holding power for 20 seconds or till device shuts (nothing, even for 2-3 cycles of 8 failed resets)

3) Burned Nook Froyo 0.67 SD (nothing, 'LOADING' word seen, then LCD shuts)

4) Burned Nook Froyo 0.58 SD (nothing, 'LOADING' word seen, then LCD shuts)

5) Re-burned HC v4 SD (nothing, 'LOADING' word seen, then LCD shuts)

6) Burned IOMonster's image of bootable CWR 128mb (nothing, 'LOADING' between 2 skulls seen, then LCD shuts off)

7) Burned IOMonster's image of bootable CWR 1gb (also nothing, same as above)

8) Tried to hold power down with bootable CWR (nothing)

9) Tried to burn a Nooter SD, tried SSH tunneling to 192.168.2.2 (nothing, Win7 and Ubuntu clients do not detect)

New:

10) Using CMR 128mb/1gb again (via Win32DiskImager and WinImage)

a) tried booting it by switching device via connection to USB (nothing, 'LOADING' fades to black)

b) tried holding power > 60 to 120 seconds (nothing, same as above)

c) tried holding power + n > 60 to 120 seconds (nothing, same as above)

d) tried holding power + n, wait ~60 seconds, released n but still holding power ('LOADING' doesn't fade and nothing happens)

So at this point:

1) At any time, the PC doesn't detect any hardware changes for adb to work / re-installation of drivers

2) Linux doesn't detect too

3) I feel as if I've exhausted all methods to reinstall back to stock

4) CWR on eMMC is still there, I still can't get into bootable CWR

All I need to do now is wait for a full battery discharge, for the true cold boot option (thanks ColoradoPhoney). Also, thanks everyone.
[Nook Color General] knappyt:
Rawfish: Maybe try a different uSD card? I've had them fail at crucial times in the past. Just a thought.
[Nook Color General] LeathaLurker:
Did you completely reformat your sd card or try a different one? I had problems with booting from one of my sd cards.
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
Leatha & knappy, tried on 2. One's a 256mb sandisk, another a Transcend 8gb class 6. will go get a 2gb and/or 4gb ones today. Thanks for the suggestions. :)
[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
On top of this, I would actually recommend using Partition Master on one of the cards, do a completed delete of all partitions, create a new single win32 partition, format, then image the bootable CWR image onto the card.

The key was to hold down the power button. Yes... it's very frustrating... especially if it happens multiple times. But it's all part of the learning curve... (the not so fun part).
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
Bought a 2GB uSD and 4GB uSDHC (both Sandisk) today (they tend to have better compatibility and performance, plus they are sold at BN's website under Accessories too). Still no go (also used a new card reader).

Tried using Partition Master too, with no results. Have fully charge device, none response too.

So the solution still remains elusive. Simply cannot boot into CWR SD or any other roms on SD. Tried all methods here to no avail - with focus on Sam's Restore to Stock and thecubed's CWR SD's methods.
[Nook Color General] Slack3r:
I had a similar problem last night... I flashed nookie froyo 0.6.7 and everything seemed to be working fine, I flashed CWR and wanted to flash a new kernel, so I hit reboot into recovery and everything died, I was tired as hell so I just put it aside and figured I'd deal with it in the morning.

Well nothing would get it to turn on, but eventually I got it to turn on by holding N + Power for 20 seconds, and booted to the SD card. I tried restoring my nandroid backup of Rooted 1.1, but it fails to boot when I restart. I can pretty much get into CWR to flash anything, but it fails to boot afterwards. Any ideas?

Also, my rom history went like this:

Stock 1.0.1 > Rooted 1.0.1 > Rooted 1.1 > Honeycomb v4 eMMC > Rooted 1.1(nandroid) > NF 0.6.7
[Nook Color General] kuyote:
I had a similar thing happen, the only way I could get it to reboot was pressing power+n+volume up button. But I had to have a CWM flash inserted, from there I had to recover the original partition tables, and flash to stock, and start over.
