[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
The $600ish price is for the Wifi model that doesn't have a confirmed release date. If you don't need a tablet now, yeah I would just wait a couple of months or so and get the wifi only Xoom or wait for the 3G version to drop in price.

Comparing the Xoom and Gtablet is comparing a Luxury car with a Economy car. Do you want the bells and whistles or do you just want something to get you where you want to go?
[G Tablet General] ryan562:
wait until the lg slate aka optimus pad comes out as well as sumsungs honeycomb tab then make your choice
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Let us not forget that Moto has been locking their bootloaders so your at their mercy for upgrades. If you can wait and don't want a GTab there will be many unlocked devices on the way. BTW, the GTab is completely open and almost unbrickable
[G Tablet General] LTLFTCer:
Just a thought, if you wait, then the next best thing will be roumored to be coming and you will be waiting again. That being said, if price isn't an issue, and the possiblilty of a locked bootloader isn't an issue, then wait for the Xoom.
[G Tablet General] bmangold:
I anticipate much better viewing angles, better placement of the headphone jack, power and volume buttons (I hate the fact that the headphone jack is the bottom left but the hard buttons are at the top right so when I'm holding it with headphones i have to hold it top left and bottom right :s), likely better support, probably more development and community support since it will be the first Honeycomb tablet, and most importantly a lot more quality accessories.

I'll be selling my G-tab for a Xoom next month. I want to give Xoom a month or so burn in to see if the price drops and to get a chance to look at the potential alternatives (LG, Samsung, ASUS). That is assuming its bootloader isn't completely locked down and with Moto's recent change in stance towards the dev community I can't image that it would be.

One more: haptic feedback.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Being an owner of the GTablet and also faced with the same choices - its a tough one.

I see it this way and will depend on your priorities:

If your priorities >= (screen, vendor support, GPS, Android 3.0) and wait time >= NOW then

BUY (ZOOM)

ELSEIF priorities >= (independent support, Cost, Hack-ability) wait time <= NOW then

BUY(GTblet)

ELSE

BUY(IPAD)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
This is just my opinion, but features aside, I'd wait to see what how locked down the moto will be, how easy or hard it is to brick, and how much community support it gets, and only then, decide.

[G Tablet General] dschach:
If you want something now with an nvidia tegra 2 processor at a very good price and you are comfortable flashing roms then the gtablet is the way to go. The gtablet is very well supported by the xda dev community.

If you want a tablet that is ready to use out of the box, i.e. you don't like mucking with firmware, then wait a few weeks/months. There's going to be a flood of nice tablets but they will cost more and may be tied to wireless carriers.

I am very happy with my new gtablet.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Malata

Don't forget the new versions of the Gtablet.....

http://liliputing.com/tag/malata-smb-b1005

This could be a competitor for the Xoom also.
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
The Xoom even at the subsidized $600 with Verizon contract isn't a good buy, cost wise. The blogosphere is in an uproar over the cost of this thing compared to other offerings which has been horrible for the street cred/exitement building up before launch. Yeah, the Xoom is pretty and will be the first to offer Honeycomb but their marketing along with Verizon have done an absolutely terrible job of leaking false prices, charging too much for activating features (wifi), and requiring a 3G plan to be tied down to which makes it much more expensive than just buying it outright for $800.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
With rumors of a $599 wifi only version of the Xoom coming you have to decide if the $200 difference is worth it to you.

No matter what rom base or how talented the developers are, the gtablet will never have the better screen, the extra 512 Meg ram or the extra hardware sensors the Xoom will feature....or real Google/market support.

Now....is that worth $200 more is completely your decision. I will possibly pick up a Xoom to replace my gtablet around my birthday (May) unless other more capable tabs are released within the same price range.

The gtablet will be something to play with, tweak, hack, etc....while (for me) the Xoom will be the tab to use and show off to my iPad loving friends.

Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
So apparently the keyboard on the GTab is worth writing home about.

I think I'm still waiting for the next line-up of tablets before I pull the trigger on the GTab. I'm sure they'll at least lower the price considerably right before it's nixed.
[G Tablet General] EwanG:
I'm not sure I'd count on that. In fact, most of the tablets that ARE out there have seen their prices go UP since December. With the XOOM costing so much, and the prices that have been announced for some of the other tablets, the second tier folks are finding they can charge more and still be a bargain by comparison.

In fact giving how costs overseas are going up on transportation an raw materials in general, I am thinking seriously about getting two more G-Tabs as soon as I get my tax refund before they get another price hike as well.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Reality is these tabs will never replace a laptop these are consumption devices so why pay the price for one at the price of a good computer?
[G Tablet General] astb1:
Xoom vs Gtab.

I understand all the questions.....got the Gtab and couldn't be happier. maybe the doom will be all that....but??? don't have to wait....honeycomb will come.
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
They won't raise the price of the gtablet. That's unheard of. Maybe if you're comparing to some sort of one time promotion. You don't release a product at one price and then 6 months later, raise it.
[Nook Color General] kingkurry:
I installed the usb drivers for my nook as per the instuctions in this guide: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB#Windows_XP.2C_Vista_and_7

It seems to have worked and in device manager "ANdroid composite ADB device" shows up under Android Phone.

But when i type adb devices when my nook is plugged in, i still dont get and devices there.

Im running 64 bit Windows 7 on an Intel Core i7 machine.
[Nook Color General] phirephotog:
I couldn't get the ADB drivers to work via those instructions either. Luckily we have people around here that are MUCH smarter than I am.

Follow the instructions and install the software from that thread, worked for me great.
[Nook Color General] har02052:
I am having the same problem here. It seems like everything is installing fine. I deleted the old usb mass storage device, installed everything, but then when I try to do adb devices, I get a blank line. No serial number. I then tried adb wireless, I connected using adb connect 192.168.2.4 and it said connect it was connected. I then ran adb devices and it spit back that it was connected to that ip address but it still doesn't give me a serial number.
[Nook Color General] har02052:

EDIT: HALLELUJAH!!

I fixed it. Actually I didn't fix it, I just followed some instructions from another user that was having the same problem and finally figured out the very weird thing that installing the drivers did. Anyway, here is the solution from hacku:

I followed your instructions to a T and I still can't get ADB to see my NC. After uninstalling all instances of Nook in my device manager, unplugging it and plugging it back in, it adds all the same devices:

Under Disk Drives it lists B&N Ebook Disk USB Device (twice)

Under Portable Devices it lists MyNookColor

Under USB Controllers it lists USB Mass Storage Device

My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Running Nook Color 1.1.0 rooted and overclocked to 1.1Ghz. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT 2:

So I decided to pull the MicroSD card to simplify things. Uninstalled all instances of Nook from Device Manager and scanned for new hardware. This time I noticed that Windows detected it as a Nook, but then would install the drivers and it would show the same USB Mass Storage Device and the two instances of B&N Disk USB Device. I also noticed that by uninstalling the driver of the USB Mass Storage Device automatically deleted the other two instances under Disk Drives. So I updated the USB Mass Storage Device driver and this time I was able to install the drivers provided, but now it only shows up as an Android Phone > Android ADB Interface (not Composite), but I'm still not able to see it under adb devices.

Help?

EDIT 3:

GOT IT WORKING!!!

For those of you having this same problem this is what I did:

1. Right Click Android ADB Interface (it won't say Composite)

2. Select Update Update Driver Software

3. Click on Browse My Computer For Driver Software

4. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

5. In the box that pops up click on USB Composite Device

6. Click Next

It now installed the USB Composite Device driver and changes your Android Phone to Android Composite ADB Device.

Open up Command Prompt and type adb kill-server then adb devices and your Nook Color will now show up.

Hope this helps some of you out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkxion:
OK, I'm at my wits end. My root method was unrevoked forever. I was running Fresh Rom on my Evo, with RA's recovery.

I decided to unroot my phone, I ran the stock supersonic RUU. (before someone mentions it, apparently I was supposed to do a couple other things to unroot unrevoked forever, and I know that now, although it's too late)

Anyway, now when I power on I'm at the bootloader, and I can't do much else. So far as I know, I have adb correctly installed, the drivers are right, but adb devices doesn't list my device. My computer does recognize my Evo as Android ADB interface when connected. *EDIT* I'm guessing the reason why adb devices yields no results is from the bootloader I cannot turn on USB debugging??

I tried running the stock RUU again, but no matter how long my phone is charging, it gives me an error saying there is less than 30% battery life, but I know my battery is fine. Unless it doesn't charge when on the bootloader and plugged into my laptop. It's currently charging plugged into the wall atm.

I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm no expert at this, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

NEVERMIND, While waiting for help I figured it out. I'll leave this here in case anyone else has this issue. I had to remove my mini-sd card and put it in an adapter, than into my laptop, and copy pc36img.zip to my card, than put it back in my phone. The update fixed the problem and now I am in the process of putting a new recovery image on.

help

by mistake i have installed different country android version on my phone

i have updated to 2.22.405.1 instead of 2.25.720.1 how can i change it i have been to every thread

it will be a great help
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Does it still work? If so leave it as it is since if you downgrande it is likely yiu will brick it
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It doesn't matter simply because 2.22.405 is a WWE ROM and 2.25.720 is an India ROM, and, both use English. You are not missing out on any "India Specific Features" by installing 2.22.405

If you have a rooted phone / installed the "Safe" Flash Version of 2.22.405, you can get the "Safe" Flash 2.25.720.1 from the Wildfire Development Forum. It was made by danne. If you got the one with the HBOOT intact, there is nothing you can do about it. (Except perhaps downgrade, but, as said above, it is risky and not worth it)
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Exept the indian rom may be in different languages
[Wildfire General] jayrmalkan:
yes it is working fine but sim card is not behaving properly

some time it says ota not supported and ur sim card is not allowed on this network i have to switch off the phone and restart it

everything else is fine

may be when other updates will come with from ruu 2.3 or else it will get update to indian one i think

anyway thanks for the reply
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
2.22.405 cannot be updated, since it is already the latest Froyo version for that region. Besides, the India OTA (2.25.720.1) requires 1.25.720.1 as the base, only then will it show. There probably wont ever be an official 2.3 release for the Wildfire.

Hey all,

I have a weird issue with picture messaging on my G2. I am running stock 2.2 and using the stock messaging app. When I recieve messages they show up as a 5 second 'video preview' of the picture that is coming through, and the preview is a very small picture. This happens when any of my friends send me a pic- android, iphone, BB users. It also doesnt give me the option to save the message. It used to not do this, only started doing this a few months ago. I tried calling into T-Mobile technical support but they couldnt help. In the past month I have used 2 different G2s and a Nexus S. Do you think its a SIM card issue? Or is this how Android picture messaging is?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
Welcome vibrant is a awesome phone.

Just so you know there is no best rom for all people . If there was we wouldnt have so many developers.

As rom is basically your phones operating system .

Why flash one ? I do it because I like to tinker. These guys often skin the roms much better than samsung.

I also like freedom of choice and added speed boost.

Often times our developers update the roms faster than the companies do!

You will have to try these roms for yourself to see which one is best .

Welcome to the forum, my few bits of advice would be before trying any rom read the responses people have made in that roms installation guide. You'll see what problems people commonly encounter when rushing into things, and learn how to avoid them. Make sure you read everything carefully and dont follow directions for any phone other than the model you have.

Be warned flashing firmware is dangerous even when done right. Take every precaution, make backups! Read directions twice! That said, welcome once again and good luck.

Would i lose root after 2.2 froyo ota update on 21st? If so, how do i get back to root? Sorry for newb question.
[Epic 4G General] maldito.boss:
First u probably won't get the ota cuz u are rooted ......u need to odin back to di18 stock for u to get the update... or wait a lil longer to have one of ur devs. Cook some rom ready for our root phones... personally I won't go back to di18 ... but if our devs told us (which I don't think we need to) to do it.. then ill be happy to do it...

And to get root back from 2.2 do the same method u did fro 2.1
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
Is the OP on 2.2? I'm still on DI18, and it has been fine for me. I rooted, but that's it. Would I still get the OTA?
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
It was my understanding that you could get the OTA update while rooted, as long as it wasn't a custom ROM. Someone chime in?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Way to NOT search people, I mean seriously....

But anyway like the last half a dozen threads asking THIS EXACT SAME QUESTION, you cannot OTA unless you are on a stock rom with the stock recovery, if you don't want to revert then wait less than a day and it will be in flashable .zip form.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You should be able to get the OTA if you're rooted on di18 and still have stock recovery. The update will most likely break your root, though. All you will have to do to get root back is run the one-click.
