Keeping it

Yah, I'm keeping mine as well. I've had it since Christmas and love it. I have a friend with a Galaxy Tab and have played with it. It's nice, but the smaller screen would take some getting used too.

For the price, this has been a great purchase...
[G Tablet General] enigma0456:
me too

Some people need to have the next big thing, some like the white status symbol and some just have money to burn. Frankly, after reflashing my gtab with vegan, I'm very happy with it. It does everything I can think of....even runs a frackin' web server! Oh.... and I'm not paying a monthly data plan. This afternoon I was stuck in (major snow) and I spent several hours reading a book from daily lit on my gtab. It was great. I'll buy a second one if the prices come down enough. So some may be selling but I'm keeping mine! Thanks xda devs!
[G Tablet General] Cyhawk:
I'm keeping mine. Why? Because I love my gTab. I use it for taking notes, WebEx, browsing while on the crapper, and games. (Star Traders is quite addictive, even if it gets boring after a while)

I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. (Even though Im going to get a Xoom soon, want the 4G and smaller form factor, the gTab is quite heavy for holding extended periods of time)
[G Tablet General] jmeridith:
Paying more money for something marginally better really feels like a lateral move to me, ill stick to my gtab.
[G Tablet General] Thunter75:
got mine 4 days ago and cant put it down love it
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Keeping mine for sure. I really have no qualms about the screen. Its perfect if your into things like privacy. I check my stocks and do online banking/purchasing on the go with no worry about my security. I like knowing that no one sees what's on my screen unless I want them to. Also, As robeet says, its going to make a nice tegra dev tablet.
[G Tablet General] DGoward:
Keeping mine & looking for more....

Love this thing....

I use mine mostly when I travel. I don't need to take a laptop along. I can browse, do e-mail, watch movies or read books on long flights, do some light gaming, use as a 10" GPS. Run's emulators for N64, Sega Genisis, Nintendo. For the price it truly is a great device.

Things I've hooked up and gotten working:

Logitech wireless KB & Mouse

Bluetooth GPS - Globsat

USB ThumbDrives

USB External HD's

Wii Controller

I can access the data on my Windows 7 PC or even remote access and control my main computer over the Internet while out on the road.

I've gotten the G-Tab to act as a 2nd monitor to my PC using IDisplay

No I'll be keeping mine and to everyone who is looking to get rid of yours shoot me a PM and for a reasonable price I'll be glad to take it of your hands. I have to many family & friends who want one.

Everything I can think of using this for it has worked. I know I wouldn't be able to say the same of an I-Pad.
[G Tablet General] whosloosin92:
There are a few things the gtab is lacking, notably the viewing angle on the screen and some creak in the body if you squeeze it just right. I really don't think theres much else besides maybe a nicer camera which I rarely use anyways. I also don't think i'd want a much higher resolution screen seeing as my gtablet gets slowed down in some parts of dungeon defenders as it is when theres a ton going on.

All in all I am VERY happy with my purchase. I honestly expected the novelty to wear off but it never did. Gtab owner since early December. :)
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
Another keeper here. I bought one for the wife and one for myself in mid December based on what I saw going on here in the forums. I'm not disappointed with nor do I regret buying the gTabs. Like others have said, I'll keep mine till something MUCH better and worth more money comes along.
[G Tablet General] Acturbo:
I'm a keeper too

As I type this from my laptop and watch the girlfriend who "doesn't like touch screen devices" hog my tablet, I'm pretty sure we will be keeping it. I couldn't pry it out of her hands right now if I tried anyways.

The G Tab does everything I need it to do and more. I realize as well, the only reason the IPad2 is so slim is because its missing industry standard features(USB, SD, Micro SD, Anything really). I'll take the slightly heavier slightly thicker device with the better specs/features any day(minus the screen obviously).
[G Tablet General] FreaKaDroidXYZ:
Ordered GTab right after iPad2 announcement fully knowing all my options. GTab is still the best deal around. Scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, can't wait!
[G Tablet General] spykat:
On the fence at the moment, I have had to repartition 4 times already, I have to do the market fix like every other day, and most apps force close randomly including the XDA app, I wish like hell this thing was as stable as an ipad because without question I wouldn't even think of selling it then, but in the event that I do it has it all, dock, 3 cases, rear skin, and front protection, just saying.
[G Tablet General] Xnine1964:
I bought a GTab on Ebay loaded with TNTLite 4.2.4 on it and I love it.

In the span of one week I managed to:

1. Get a "Magic Value Mismatch" error after using ROM Manager(I know I

should have checked it out first), but fixed it quickly following the

instructions in this forum.

2. Loaded the stock ROM because I wanted to see what it was like.

3. Reload tntlite and applied my backup.

4. I loaded VEGAn 5.1 and the supplement this morning to check it out.

The point is Great Hardware + Great Devs + Great Community = Keeper
[G Tablet General] shaggyneo:
I bought mine from Office Depot about 3 weeks ago and have loved it ever since. The different great roms the devs here are supplying make it a keeper for sure. Thanks for the hard work.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm really into value. I'm not into buying into 'brands' or trends easily and I'm def. not into status buying. I won't feel badly about buying a Vizio or Viore LCD because they're sold at Walmart or are on the cheaper spectrum of TVs - I am a person that's fully into buying at least once to test the mettle. If these brands fail consistently then I will move 'up' to a brand offering the same hardware for more money, if that fails consistently, I'll move up again.

That being said. I'm keeping mine. It's given me no issues. It's supported by some superb developers and has a great community backing it so far. I think it's a great value and so far have no regrets about my decision to buy it. Do I think it could be better? Sure. As EVERYONE says, I think the screen could have been a tad better for the price. NI Adam only sells for a bit more with a nicer screen, yes? I think Malata could have pulled that off as well, especially with the cheap parts involved but as I said, there are no regrets and as it is, I have no plans to sell mine. It's versatile, hardy and does everything I need it to do. At the very worst, I'll get something subsidized from my carrier in the far future if the GTab doesn't get/isn't able to use Honeycomb or receive future tablet android OS updates for any reason....and even then, the only way is if what's coming is THAT much thinner, lighter and faster.
[G Tablet General] Icedvoco:
I live in Sydney Australia, and really if it wasnt for XDA i would never had known anything about the G Tab, as we have had no advertisements for the product here, so i have to say thank you to all the people involved in the project.

Bought mine from Amazon, took less thank 14 days to be shipped here, so was very happy with that.

But what really blows me away is the fact that Viewsonic (who i know as being a great monitor supplier) sold these little beauties at such a fantastic price. Considering the power inside specs wise, plus the power provided by this community in the way of android development, this thing is the best value for money i have seen in many years, no way i will see a deal like this for many years to come.

Keeping mine.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Not sure if a "keeping my gtablet" thread is necessary. Are people really that sad or concerned if they see people selling their gtablets? I'm sure there's plenty of us that are gonna keep their gtabs. Besides, for every "selling my gtab" thread, there's a buyer waiting on the wings to snatch it up. Seems like the circle of life to me. :)

Edit: btw, OP, I'm not knocking you for starting this thread.
[G Tablet General] intech:
Xda app does not work if i sign in and try to access threads. Its not a tab app

Been very stable though. Apps can cause issues though.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
I'm another one keeping my g-tab ... I'm not totally hung up on value, but the other options out there just do not seem like as good a value for what I am using my tab for. Same reason I won't get an iPhone or iPad (besides the fact that I've grown to love Android) -- they just seem way too overpriced for me for what I'd use them for.

And seeing what most people use their iPhone for, I'm thinking they overpaid, too...
[G Tablet General] n2thecloud:
More fuel for the fire...Why we choose the g tablet.

One of the reasons that a lot of us have chosen the G tablet is the outrageous data plan charges that can be as high as $700 for two years... isn't tethering nice?

Here is a article that helps compare the true ipad2 cost vs xoom to help prove the point.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-the-ipad-could-cost-you-more-than-the-xoom-2011-03-08
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
The XDA app not working has been a known issue since the G Tab has been released. Most folks use the Tapatalk app, or for me it's just as easy to have a bookmark to the XDA forum I frequent).
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
I'm keeping my two for now (mine and my wife's).

I am watching the Xoom WiFi version to see if it comes in at a price point I'm comfortable with (and up to $599 is acceptable) though I will most likely hold out until Christmas/New Year to see what is coming and/or other price drops, etc...

My Gtablet does everything I want it to do......but I would prefer a built-in GPS (for location aware apps), a better screen, a better camera and Honeycomb as standard release OS.

I've got quite a few purchased apps so an Android based tablet and phone are where I'm staying.
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
WHAT?!?!

I lol a ppl who are getting the Xoom. I have played with it and while HC is nice, it is still unstable and honestly doesnt seem like motorola cares right now. they just released it so they coud beat the iPad 2. i know that they are still waiting for Adobe and Nvidia to finish the new drivers but why not make it emulate a lower kernel for some of the unfinished things like flash because they work beautifully on 2.2. anyway i feel my gTab felt better than the Xoom, it was snappier and did better on the benchmark. the reason i got the gTab was because it was so close to the Xoom in a price range i could afford.
[G Tablet General] Jland:
actually they do have emulators...you just have to jailbreak to get it them...and a jail break isnt much different then say a custom rom or rooting one of the G tabs...I am a fan of both apple and android..I use iphones and android tablets...I love android for a tablet but not so much on a phone..as I use the Galaxy S as a work phone...but as far as the zoom goes....Muchado about nothing...just wait till honeycomb drops for the Gtab..gonna be AWSOME!!
[G Tablet General] djunio:
Don't kill me guts but I sold ny GTablet for the smoke fact that its an awesome device and deserves to be utilized. Since getting my Xoom I barely touched it mainly because of the screen. It will soon have a loving home by another XDA member so its still in the family :-)
[G Tablet General] edirector:
The GTab is addicting. I have flashed several ROMs. Have broken apart a few and put together my own cocktail. This is the ultimate tech toy. I would not do what I have done with this tab to my laptop. I got the extended warranty for insurance. Thanks to the devs here I can restore it back to factory defaults and return it as "whatever excuse I make for what went wrong" should I go beyond reason and logic in tinkering.

I checked out other devices before purchasing VS hands on. The iPad hardly the status symbol with the giant "played out" icons they have been rocking since what "forever." The entire iPad interface is Fisherprice. The lack of i/o except through "bloatware" iTunes and proprietary connector is criminal and imprisoning. The swipe to the left and right, up and down and a pinch here and there is 20th century computing at its finest.

The Samsung Galaxy tab froze up on me during operation. Wasn't buying that. The touch screen was no where near responsive as GTab. I own a Samsung cell phone which I love and this was a let down along with the screen size.

Xoom I'm not paying over $500 dollars for one of these devices especially when I have a high end laptop. This is just for cruising the web, playing games, app testing and tinkering. These are consumption devices which mean limited work can be done on them comfortably. So it is an electronic toy.

At this price if I break something it was a small investment and I can always go get another without breaking the bank. I can easily afford to eat the cost of this device. Plus, I feel I got serious bang for my buck. I'm keeping mine, and the viewing angles--I only hold it a certain way and have a dock. The screen is incredible to me. The colors pop. Plus, how many ways can you view anything and be comfortable doing so? I adjust my laptop screen angle on the regular and it is top notch.

The media has hyped these products so much that the reality couldn't possibly measure up (xoom, ipad, galaxy or whatever) once you put hands on. Remember the advertising is why and how they keep their jobs. I don't buy because of trend. All my e-devices must have utilitarian purpose. Testing and tinkering does just that with the GTab. Throw in the actual intended purposes and I have the perfect device.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Good discussion just opens the door for "GTab" love. Funny, some of the post are really good and you get to hear what some are using theirs for. No harm.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Ah, the pictorial cash register. Why do you think the screen is so bright? So you won't realize every time you push a button it will cost you money. Who buys something with no inputs? Wouldn't that be an e-machine? Remember those scaled down computers. That's what the iPad reminds me of with better marketing and more hype.
[G Tablet General] intech:
I agree with the bookmark and tapatalk :) its funny because the tab format really makes some reader apps unnecessary

I use it a lot as a reader, website layout and email

Price point must be below $450 or i would use a netbook or laptop. I dont like carrying the laptop around especially in bed
[G Tablet General] n2thecloud:
A few more reasons I am keeping mine...

1. Cost me $349. done no extra add on's.

2. All the great use cases...

-Kindle & listening to Rhapsody over BT audio with my headphones. Keyword Sonorix

-Web browsing choices Android,DolphinHD,Xscope...

-Flash videos on little sites like C N N ... need I say more?

-Pandora with widgets of stations choices

-Netflix, Hulu even with playon needed for now...just wait a bit for apps and drm issues

-My Taptu...check that one and also Pulse. Tablet multi news source layout. Brilliant!

-Weather,stocks,controls from widgets...

-C U S T O M screens the way I want them. Finally.

-EXCHANGE EMAIL, Gmail, many versions and CHOICES.

-Dungeon defenders,Angry Birds ... emulators... you get the picture.

The list can go on and on and on... I love the function of the G Tablet more each day and we have not even seen half of what it can do.

Keeping my G-TAB

I love my G-TAB especially all of the different ways you can experiment with it.
[XPERIA X10 General] x10van:
So I recieved an email from the makers of Vignette saying that they had to make a new apk because the old one was not able to be updated. They said to buy the new one and the old one will automatically be refunded. Nice! But, only problem is, it doesn't work (on Beta 4 anyhow...). So, I just wanna warn people not to uninstall the old one and get the new one. Luckily I had it backed up :D

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
It worked with me ( Stock 2.1 )

so I guess this is custom Rom issue
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Works perfect on stock 2.1. With Wolfbreaks cm rom had some trouble but finally started to work..same with freex10.

So it works, just keep messing with it.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
is it any good - was taking way too long to save images for me when I used it.. although I did like the auto "flash" light.. if the save time has improved then I might try it again..
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Unfortunately, the save time isnt faster.
[XPERIA X10 General] 28spawn:
I am using camera360 ultimate and for me its sooo much better than vignette or original camera
[XPERIA X10 General] goothu99:
did they fix that shutter off option?
[XPERIA X10 General] madhupv:
I am also facing the same problem..... new version is not working with cm6. 1.3 v4. 3

I please guys tell me if there is anyway to get this working thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I tried it....and it had major focusing issues.
[XPERIA X10 General] kersey:
Theres an update available on the market which now works with 2.2 and also fixes the focus issue...update now guys ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] madmurdoch:
Seems to have been fixed in latest update!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Yeah I got it..... friggen awesome now!
[XPERIA X10 General] krobar77:
yeah i'm using vignette 2011.02.24.6 the focus problem kinda solved..

i did having trouble with 02.24.5

vignette's dev is also updating his work on videocam illusion for x10 version 1.01
[XPERIA X10 General] madhupv:
I just updated mine.. working perfectly ....
[XPERIA X10 General] Ungruntled:
I contacted the devs of this app about a week ago to tell them the x10 was still out of focus in some situations. Have to say, they were VERY helpful and I got a message from them saying they had bought an x10 just to fix the issue, and they'd fixed it and the update was now available.

I'm very impressed with them and Vignette is now back on form! As for the slow picture taking, I tend to stick to the 2MB option for quick snapshots, it's MUCH quicker. Also turned off location info and that seems to help too.
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
Wow. In that case we could soon be looking at a fully functioning camera and camcorder app. :)

After attempting a one-click stock ROM... I have the following problem...

Any suggestions???

Had that problem when I tried to flash away from cm7. Took 10 or 11 tries but I finally got mine into download mode doing this

What worked for me was remove battery and pop it back in...open odin one click...hold power up and power down then plug in usb...insta downloadmode

I called HTC support in Egypt about 10 days ago to ask about the update and they confirmed HTC Legend Froyo update is available with version 3.30.466.6 and the update is rolling in batches by the phone IMEI, please has anybody got this update? my phone is showing "Your phone is up to date" !!!
[Legend General] zorbakun:
There is an update available already for 1.27.466.7 to 3.30.466.6 but we don't have the original ROM to make a custom ROM or extract the Arabic support!
[Legend General] v77:
I called HTC Support to tell them about the problem with updating to Froyo, they told me: I have either update the phone within Safe Mode or take the phone to Support Center in Cairo and they will update it manually within 2 hours.

I guess there is a missing update my phone needs to get: 1.27.466.5 to 1.27.466.7 and that must be manually updated.

I hope this helps some one out there.
[Legend General] sorour80:
I have the same problem. so what is the solution only going to the software support for them to update.
[Legend General] v77:
You have two options actually:

1. Wait the update to come to your phone

2. Go to the support center and do the update

I went to the support center and upgraded my phone to froyo, It took 2 hours, and they did for free, I'm now a happy FroYo phone owner :cool:.

My phone now has SW# 3.30.415.6 :confused:

Remember to backup all your data and apps before you go, they will do a factory data reset to the phone.

Working hours of the support center is from 11AM to 6PM.

Can you softroot it and make a dump of /system.
