[G Tablet General] Seihaku:
Quite a few sites seem to have the item listed with the wrong description still:

Sears (item: 00382001000) has it with the ViewPad 10 description (this is undoubtably the G-Tab though).

Kmart refs Sears site and has it with the same wrong description.

Searsoutlet (refurb g-tab) is a crapshoot, I saw one listed for $199, but it was sadly about 6 states away and they don't ship.

Electronica Direct sells them on Amazon.com and has Amazon.com fulfill them which means it supports Free Super Saver Shipping and I believe Prime, as well as gift cards.

Office Depot has them on sale for $379 this week, and has plenty in stores - oddly, it says they're in stock online but if you try to select the option it says Insufficent Stock.

J&R had them on sale for $369 not that long ago, sad I missed it. J&R has quickly become one of my favorite online stores.

Staples stopped carrying the product in December after numerous user complaints.

I think these will probably be cleared out pretty soon due to the onslaught of upcoming tablets, but imo, it's still a steal if you can find it for < $350. Crappy screen or not, the internal hardware is phenomenal for a budget tablet (it's only about $100 more than those resistive screen, warped, TN, A6 chinese knock offs). Unfortunately for ViewSonic, it seems stores like OfficeDepot don't know that they need to run the software updates (or xda that beast) to get reasonable performance out of the units -- the ones on display are still running the original stock os which does not bode well for sales.

I have one that due to circumstances beyond my control I must sell. It will have whatever rom you want. Pm me with a resonable offer
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
...the gTab is made by Malata and sold by them as the zPad, and it's rebranded in a couple of other regions as well IIRC, e.g. Viewsonic gTablet in US.

...also is disappears from the Sears website from time-to-time, and this is the second or third such occurrence that I recall.

Staples is the only one to have dropped it completely and a sales guy at the Staples that I bought mine at was trying to push the HP printer w/detachable low end tablet($400). (I mentioned that I had bought the gTab there and he was busy trying to show me that, $400 and a printer too... went on an abortive attempt to find a class 4 4GB uSD SDHC card that they had listed as available on the website but not to be found in the actual store, only was able to turn up a 4GB SDHC card... actually it's still listed as of yesterday so I'm going to try dropping by again and see if maybe they have memory cards spread out rather than in just one location or maybe locked up... as for $10 I'll spring for a couple to hold me over until I order 8 or 16GB class 6 online somewhere...)

Office Depot: That's a mistake going with their x86 tablets. Most Android devices are ARM based and you know that devs will target ARM so no apps that use native code would run on the x86 tablets...
[G Tablet General] EwanG:
AM thinking seriously about buying two more - one for my wife and one for my daughter - with the tax refund. However I'm concerned about two things:

1) I understand that the version of the Tegra chips in the G-tab is a slightly older version that might not be able to run Gingerbread. Any word yet as to whether that is true or not?

2) Even with the market hacks, there are many apps that I can't see. Will Gingerbread with it's tablet optimization fix that, or can I assume I can spend hours/days helping the family try to sideload applications?

TIA!
[G Tablet General] rxgonz:
GTab Forever

I remember that upon purchasing my GTab at Sears (when they had it for $349) that the salesperson clearly stated that they would only be selling them through the holiday season. He further indicated that all remaining stock would be returned at that time. The fact that they are still going strong is a testament to the GTab itself and to this site and its devs .
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
1) I am running Gingerbread on my tab right now. Granted it isnt completely working yet but that is because we dont have some files from nvidia. If your actually meaning Honeycomb then that is bs story being spread by a company I wont name. The GTab will be able to run HC and even if Viewsonic doesnt release it there are a number of similar platforms to get it from.

2) The Gingerbread I am running sees the whole market without a hack. Once again if you mean Honeycomb I suspect it will be the same as Gingerbread.

BTW....Im selling my tab not because I dont like it but the wife has put her foot down after I bought my new system. The Phenom II x6 is staying lol
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
From what little research I have done I believe the G tab has the T230 Tegra 2 chip in it. It is a little slower then the newer T250.

I beleive this is the most telling part of what I have read:

Display Controllers 2 simultaneous

HDMI 1.3 1920x1080

LCD 1024x600 (Tegra 230)1680x1050 (Tegra 250)

CRT 1280x1024 (Tegra 230)

1600x1200 (Tegra 250)

http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html

Could the G tablet be limited to only 1024X600 on an LCD screen? That would make changing the screen out an issue...
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Where did you see Gtablet uses T230? I could not find any info about T230, the break down pic showed T20 series only. Wikipedia said that Gtablet is using T250. If Gtablet is a re-brand of Zpad, then most of the Chinese e-retailers stated that Zpad is T250 with 1G of RAM. I went to Tegra official developer site

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra and it didn't mention anything about T230.

Reading from your nivida link, it sounds like they are pretty sure the same chip except the display res, DDR speed.

Anyways, you may be correct since Gtab/Zpad has been out for at least 4-5 months in markets and production may have started even earlier..

Not that I worry about not able to upgrade to Honeycomb (I am pretty sure we can get honeycomb on it), just want to see whether we can swap a better screen or not. Sounds like I may need to start looking for a replacement tablet sooner.

Thanks

So I'm currently running Senseless revolution 2.0 ROM on my incredible. I'm looking to try out the CM7 nightlies and I looked in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916881 and it says "Third, make sure you have updated HBOOT (.92), radio images (2.15 series). The newer seem to be working much better." Are both of those necessary to use CM7? How would I go about doing this with my current rom installed? Would I simply put everything on the root of my SD card, boot into CWM, backup my current ROM, install HBOOT, the radio and then the ROM all at once? What would be the correct way of doing this exactly.... Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwjdd44:
cm7 has worked for some without upgrading hboot or radio......but.......if you have any issues with things not working, the first thing that will be suggested is updating hboot and radio. you can flash the rom and see if works for you or not, then decide if you need to update hboot / radio. the links to get the latest of both hboot and radio are in the cm7 thread in the dev section. you need to to one at a time.....I would do hboot first......reboot and then update the radio, if needed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
ok so hboot and the raido update will install from boot loader and not recovery. if you are running revolution 2.0 Im pretty sure you have the updated radio. but to check go to settings -> about phone -> and it should tell you under " Baseband version"

for hboot. you will need to download it from here http://dougpiston.com/?p=44 then check the M5D sum because if this is corrupt then your phone will be toast.

follow this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9968133&postcount=6

let me know if this helped you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowman4000:
Thanks! I guess I already have Hboot .92 as it came with Senseless Revolution 2.0. I'm looking at the thread for the new radio http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874355 but it doesn't say how to install it??

edit: nevermind, found it... thanks guys!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
Same way you would hBOOT. Download the radio zip. Place it on the root of your SD card. Check the m5d sum. Astro file manager can do this for you. Then turn off the phone turn it on while holding volume down. And it should pick it up and ask you to update. But please make sure you check m5d. If the file is corrupt in any way and you try and flash it will brick the phone. And nandroid will not help.

[Q]Does anyone know what the difference is between the free version and pro version
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I believe there are a few advanced features that my be unlocked with Pro, but could be wrong. Otherwise the only other difference is basically is its a donate version.... so in other words, you pay for the app to show your appreciation to stericson for his work....

A lot of devs do a free and donate version. They want their work to be freely available, but give the option to those who are supporters to contribute back for the developers time and effort.

Wondered if any one could make a sense style notepad. Kind of like Sense Tasks but in a style of the Notepad...

I hate the built in notepad and i've tried every note/memo pad there is and i just don't like them.

I don't know how to develope but when i look at the Sense SDK and what's available, i can see something very basic being created.

Kind of like in Sense Tasks... have a list of the notes on the main page.

When you create a new note... it basically goes to a field that allows you to

type then save it as simple as it's created...

I like the Sense menu's but can't find any thing that would work...

Just a thought if any one can think of it... i'd be willing to help outline it...

just can't build it...

Why HTC couldn't make a proper notepad app is beyond me...

That's my 2 cents worth... ANy thoughts...

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
Was wondering if there was a simple way to change the shortcuts on my dock. I just want to replace the internet shortcut with my messaging shortcut. I dont want to change the way the dock looks, I like it.

Also, I downloaded the Nexus S boot loader from Serendipity, how do I apply this? I still get the little android guy as a boot screen.

Thanks in advance everyone!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wibs:
As far as i know there isnt a way to change the icons on the dock. If you want to have a more customizable dock look at launcher pro or adw launcher or one of the other replacements. As for the boot animation, download the file then reboot into clockwork recovery and apply it from there.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
unless its just a bootanimation.zip

those go in /system/media/
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wibs:
The Nexus S animation download hosted by the Serendipity guys is a CWM flashable file, but thanks for clarifying that
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] breakingbryan:
I have a Leo 1024 and am trying to figure out which roms I can use. I know the rule of thumb is to not use a Rom unless it specifically says it's ok for your device, but I've found that many threads don't mention anything about which version of the phone it is compatible with.

So, should I assume that if it doesn't explicitly state a Rom is only for a 512 Leo, it will work fine on my device? If I did install one, like a cyanogen mod, what would the drawbacks be? Would I just not be able to use the extra space on my device?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
That rule is for Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs, not Android. As long as you have flashed MAGLDR (and preferably Clockwork Recovery too) , you can use any nand Android ROM you want, just follow the installation instructions in the particular ROM's thread.

-HD2 Android-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] breakingbryan:
Thanks for the help. So I won't kill my phone by doing it, but will I lose out on any space if I use one made for a 512 as opposed to one optimized for a 1024? Or am I just making stuff up here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
That depends on the size of the build. Some of the early roms made for the 512 device were squashed and had apps removed etc. In this case you will have plenty of internal memory to install from the market.

The more recent Desire HD based builds are now no longer squashed, so in order to still fit on the 512 device data and apps are moved to partitions on the sd card. For the 1024 device you however don't need the sd card partitions and you will use more of your 1024 device's internal memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
To expand on that, my understanding is you can use any ROM on the 1024, it's only if you have a 512 phone that you need to take more consideration.

If you take the 512 route, you'll be formatting your SD card into new partitions etc, which is pointless if you have a 1024 phone as you'll just be straining your memory card/battery-life for no reason.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Correct :D

[HD2 General] Sir Schwanzelot:
first of all: my reboot problem is kind of unique so the search didn't help.

problem: like the title of this thread says, my hd2 rebbots itself. i could not find out a specific pattern, it does this things (to me) completely at random: sometimes it goes 5-7 hours straight without rebooting but then three times in only one hour.

it first happend when i got a new sim card and therefore a new provider. i thought the sim card didn't work properly so i asked for a new one, but the problem still existed.

i changed ROMs and Radios, formatted the sd card, changed backed to stock rom, but without success.

BUT here are things that might help you help me:

1.) i DID NOT have the issue with the WP7 build (with android i DO have the issue)

2.) it only reboots itself when in standby, i have never seen it happening while i was using it

3.) the new provider uses the network from another provider, so it is always in roaming.

i really do appreciate all the help i can get!

please excuse me for my english
[HD2 General] Troskyo:
Same here

I've got the same problem, it does happen aswel in wp7 rom but it takes more time for some reason, I think it's a hardware problem, I seem to recall flasing back to the standard rom so the telehpone would be like out of the box but i got a restart after 40 minutes .. aswell in standby.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brendodendo:
OK, so long story short. I have a client who bought 4 tabs. 2 UK GT-P1000 and 2 US ATT. He was told by another service provider that the GT-P1000's would not work in the states, so he bought 2 ATT Tabs. He lives in states part time and in Argentina the rest of the time. So he wanted me to make the ATT tabs have the phone (which he had seen on the UK GT-p1000) functionality, which I did using rotohammer's original method with Odin. I flashed the Russian and then Euro versions and then added the bell Modem. My client only had an ATT sim card with data only, so he dumped his tab contract (and paid the fees) and picked up a cheap blackberry with phone and data plan. We used this sim in the tab and he was very happy here in the states. He has now returned to Argentina and is not able to use the tab using the ATT Sim card. Can anybody point me in the right direction. Is the bell modem the wrong one? Is there a certain provider that he would be better using? Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Can he use a Movistar sim? They are throughout South America. They are the same as at&t, so the bell modem would be a good bet.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brendodendo:
That was my recomendation to his IT guy in Argentina yesterday. Anybody else know any more info. I was actually thinking the movistar tab was way cooler than the ATT with it's sat tv capability.

I agree. Movistar is good down there and you can add credits easily. That tab is very expensive!

So I'm writing a tutorial using RotoHammers Thread on unlocking

LINKhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843323 - How to carrier/SIM unlock the Galaxy Tab

I am having him install titanium, astro and a custom gcript.apk that will allow the tech to install the custom apk using titanium and then have him back up the tab completely using clockworkmod (rotos custom, pre installe here in states) then some scripts in gscript that will run the /efs backup and the another to run rotohammers adb commands from that thread. (I hope that this all works)

The I have to have him pull the APN settings ( anybody know where these are so I can write a script of adb commands to back them up) and have him test the tab and correct the apn settings if they are wrong. Still have to find the Movistar APN settings for Argentina as well.

Thanks.

I too am using the Teletype Bluetooth GPS with build ElocityA7 DexterMod, Kernel ver 2.6.32.9-wvn2467, Firmware ver 2.2.

Using "Bluetooth GPS" I am able to lock onto the required satellites and they show up under the Status tab of the "Bluetooth GPS". However since the Bluetooth Teletype GPS is not connected under the Elocity A7 bluetooth status CoPilot Live 8 does not see a GPS.

Has anyone solved this problem?

No other Map programs see the GPS either. It seems that Elocity is aware of this and has not come up with a Bluetooth GPS recomendation yet.

Thanks

I installed BlueGPS and this resolved my issue. When starting BlueGPS look at the top of the screen and wath for the Bluetooth pairing notice. Swipe the top bar down and click on pairing - enter 0000 for the Teletype and it should show up in your map program.

noop [deadline] bfq

Is this actually going to make any noticeable difference?

Backing up and trying anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
The NOOP scheduler inserts all incoming I/O requests into a simple, unordered FIFO queue and implements request merging. without calculating rotate and seek latencies (as in magnetic disks).

this will boost the IO tasks in Flash drives since there is no rotate or seek.

It is the default at CM kernels (also my .35 port). However I'm not sure whether I should be that fond of it. NOOP really looks promising due is simplicity aye
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
On my opinion the default IO scheduler for any phone should be deadline. It really doesn't matter how much your device scores on benchmarks, when you hold it in your hand, you want it to respond as fast as possible to your current actions.
