Is this the best/only case for the g-tablet? :(

I got the sleeve but want something my friend has on his ipad2, kinda like this but covers it better, does ipad or ipad 2 stuff fit?

I was hoping to be able to get a high quality case but that is looking less likely the more i look.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
You are not looking hard enough.

This case might be the best bang for buck but certainly not the highest quality or the most perfect fit.

Check here, and here if steve's is OOS.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dishe:
Is the tab/clip version of this hard to remove the tablet from?

I'm asking because I'm currently debating getting a keyboard case or just the plain flip one (better for portrait use I'd imagine), and I'm leaning towards getting both. But now I'm concerned that the tabs will either make it difficult to easily swap, or wear out prematurely from switching.

Those of you who have this case, what do you think?
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
The tabs makes the gtab fit VERY snugly, thats important due to the lack of any side support.

I would imagine if I make a daily routine of removing my gtab from the case the tabs might lose this tight fit.

A word of advice, according to various reports here the case+KB combo looks and feels cheap, I would advise sticking with the folding case and invest in wireless (or USB) mini keyboard.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dishe:
Ok, fair enough. You've convinced me NOT to get the keyboard case, I just purchased the clip case and will (patiently) wait for it to arrive.

I was looking into keyboards before, but couldn't find anything that seemed all that convenient honestly. The bluetooth variety seems very hit-or-miss, sometimes working great, othertimes not at all. I'm thinking something more USB, but still portable. They're hard to find apparently, which is why I started considering the case with integrated KB.

Honestly, if someone just sold the keyboard part of the KB case, I would totally rip that out and just lay it down in front of the tablet when needed.

Do you guys have a particular USB keyboard you would recommend? How those silicon ones? they seem kind of iffy as well...
[G Tablet Accessories] doug3673:
Just to add my 2 cents on this case... I purchased mine from WitGlobal in April. Shipping took like 4 weeks to arrive. Build quality is decent... not the highest quality but certainly does not feel cheap. The tan inner lining is like a faux suede, perfect for protecting the screen from scratches. Exterior is faux leather but doesn't feel like plastic or PVC. Its a pretty decent fake leather in my opinion.

The clips are not just "snug"... they are SUPER TIGHT. Once you snap your GTab in it will be clear to you that there is no chance in hell the tablet will ever fall out of the case. Once its snapped in you CANNOT even shift the tablet from side to side. The clips have a grippy rubbery-leather coating that does not allow any friction.

I've been using this case for over 2 months and I love it. The kick stand and leather clasp that closes the case are both magnetic so they never flop around. Overall I'd recommended this case... especially for $17 and free shipping from Witglobal.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dishe:
Agreed, I just got mine and extremely happy for the price!

I had some trouble with the tabs, though. Is there a trick I'm missing here? I felt like I had to practically bend the case to point of breaking something to get it to fit around the body of the tablet. And now it seems like I can't take it out easily.

I actually have a picture frame stand on my bookshelf I wanted to keep the tablet in when not using it (makes a nice digital picture frame when not being a tablet), and it won't fit on it with the Witglobal case on.

It looks like this will be very difficult to take out of the case! Any advice? Is there a trick to snapping the tabs in or out that I'm missing?
[G Tablet Accessories] ganthis:
Tempted to get the tabbed version...Good price!
[G Tablet Accessories] dman918:
Looks like they released another case. It's titled Malata Official V2 Exclusive Leather Case for Viewsonic Gtablet 10 & Malata Zpad T2 Tablet (sorry, I can't link yet).

Anyone have any thoughts as compared to the current one being talked about?
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Good find.

Great price too ($21 shipped), comparable to M2 (selling for $30 + shipping @ electroniccrap)

The side flap apparently makes it easier to get in and out of the case (compared to the taps), which is a good thing if you have a dock to use, but unlike the taps one it covers almost the whole gtab (except for the screen) so it might not be as stylish.
[G Tablet Accessories] dman918:
Thanks. It's actually $15.xx on through their ebay store as well.

[G Tablet Accessories] imdaman99:
Ahh darnit I wish I saw the new $16 cases. I bought a P3 case for $30 shipped (had 2.xx in ebay bucks from last payoff). Although I am happy that shipping says it will get to me sometime next week, as opposed to Witi guys taking almost a month.
[G Tablet Accessories] dman918:
Yeah, now I don't know which case I want.... sigh....
[G Tablet Accessories] dman918:
After a bit of thought, I think I am going with the "fashion" case. The new one shown is nice, but it looks like it would be a bit more clunky, and if it isn't held really tightly, the edges will be bubbled and such and it would just not look very good.

Ordered it last night. Hope it comes somewhat promptly.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreacherComfort:
First off, sorry if this is similar to another thread. I had very specific things happening so I thought it warranted a new post.

Okay, so I was wondering if my battery life was normal. I was browsing the web earlier for about one hour (looking for info on my battery troubled, oddly enough) on wifi. After I finished I noticed my battery had dropped significantly: from 79 to 58 to be precise. I use the lowest backlight setting, I kill apps frequently.

My ROM right now is Serendipity 6.1, stock serendipity kernel. No oc or uv. Is this normal for a battery to die so quickly?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeepon:
ive been having the same problem(sudden change of battery levels). Wifi has been known to kill batteries on the captivate, or at least in my opinion. also, check if you have any background apps running that use up cpu resources. those kill your battery too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
depending on what you are doing.. if you watch movies thru it which requires intensive processor use then thats normal it really depends...it also eats up battery easily if backlight is set at the highest.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstar2500:
It's possible that you have a bad flash. You could try flashing back to stock, running master clear, and then reflashing Serendipity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Actually, watching movies does not use a lot of processing power. On a recent flight I watched over 6 hours of movies and still had over 30% battery left when I landed. You can also adjust the backlight from within the movie player so it isn't too bright. Wifi is a huge drain, especially with the screen on while web surfing. Another drain is poor cell service since the phone will be continuously looking for signal. Having only 1-2 bars reception uses more power than having 4-5. When it drops below one bar repeatedly it uses even more. A 20% drop after an hour of web surfing on wifi is not that unusual.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
yeah you have a point in there that's why I say it depends. when you only watch a you tube that has short buffering time it may not uses more processing power try watching movies from other site like webtv360 that constantly buffer until the end of the movie it will drain your battery fast sky high. maybe clearing dalvik cache and battery stats or even doing factory reset with his current rom will solve the issue as there might be some datas left lurking from previous rom after flashing that causes undesired effect with regards to battery drain. most of the time this will cure some icompatibility issues and force closes, doing this after flashing a new rom will save you more headache in the future.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreacherComfort:
Thanks for the help guys. I'll try to keep it off of wifi when im not using it and I've been putting it in airplane mode at points during he day. I just undervolted, so hopefully that'll help my battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Ahh, you didn't say streaming movies from a website. That's a double whammy since you are using the network or wifi and having to decode the stream on the fly. Very processor intensive, as you stated. I was referring to watching movies stored on my external SD card.
[G Tablet General] tman7510:
I'm very interested in purchasing the viewsonic-g tab but am wondering if there are any stable ROMs yet? I see several options but would like to have one that I can depend on and not have constant force closings and such. I'm still the proud owner of a G1 and run Anddisa's-magpie builds...they are not labled stable but I have no issues with them...I guess I'm wondering if I buy the viewsonic-g and flash custom roms will I be able to enjoy or not???

:cool:
[G Tablet General] P00r:
Stock is stable,tnt lite,vegan etc, most are stable

You will also enjoy unlimited storage (2gb is not unlimited but close)
[G Tablet General] zamboniman87:
for the most part there are some stable ones, but you will have your fair share of experimenting to be honest.
[G Tablet General] dsholler:
roms work fine

I have been very pleased with vegan 5.1.1 and the clemsyn kernel. Stable,and most things work. I have messed up the tab any number of times, but usually due to some app that interferes with things. (Just got through wiping out the swype keyboard, suggest you avoid that one...yahoo messenger has a background job that is a pig... stuff like that)

I use this for work as well, and it has been terrific.

Of course, that said, I will probably flash the vegan gingerbread kernel when it is tagged as beta. :)
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Exact same thing here. Jump on VEGAn beta 5.1.1 and you wont have any problems. I had one issue and it was crap app related. I just make a backup once I have all my base apps on. That way I can flash back if, lets say, I instal the leaked flash 10.2 and it frags my tab into bootlooping.

Nothing is truely stable. Back up with clockwork and invest in titanium Backup.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioluigi123:
Hi, does anyone know a root screenshot app that works for the Archos 32, latest firmware 2.0.18? I've tried ShootMe, dropcap2, screenshot (gik), and another one I think but they all output blank images. I've heard that the Tegra chipset doesn't output to the Linux framebuffer (/dev/fb0) and so screenshot apps don't work on that, but this shouldn't affect the Archos.

Does anyone have a successful method of screenshotting from the device itself, no SDK/computer setup?

Note: PicMe (designed to let you view your screen from a web browser) works great, except for the fact that I cannot see an image. I am able to click randomly and it triggers the Android actions on the device like it should, but I am essentially working blind.

Edit: The Archos actually has a built-in screenshot utility. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check the option there. PicMe, unfortunately, does not work. This also means you don't need root.

Mods: I can't delete this topic, but feel free to.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Want to buy another tablet. Passed on Xoom. Priced too high for buggy Honeycomb. KUDOS to roebeet for getting USB on the Xoom to work. Once our Gtab devs get Honeycomb bugs out on XOOM, Gtablet will have a Honeycomb platform.

Almost pulled the trigger on the Ipad2, but read about backlit LED bleeding around the edges. Do like the front and back camera and killer screen. Will hold off on Ipad2 purchase to see if any more hardware issues surface.

My Gtablet has stock 3318 stock with 3.14 enhancement and is quite stable and does everything I need to trade stocks and options, listen to music, watch videos, yahoo mail, Gmail, Facebook. Can't find any reason to change ROMs. If it ain't broken, why fix it.

Google says Froyo isn't optimized for tablets, but FROYO with DEV support on the Gtab is a clear winner and is better than the current Xoom with Honeycomb which still isn't optimized for tablets.

With my modified Solo case, my Gtab is very secure and it helps keep it at the right viewing angles 95% of the time.

Still looking for another tablet, mainly for the wife. Will wait to see what Samsung and other releases will be for the summer and their pricing. But the Gtab is still the dollar for dollar champ and a keeper. Bottom line it works as advertised FINALLY.
[G Tablet General] glgehman:
Totally agree with you abour value. See my lengthy post at: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12064884&postcount=27 for thoughts on the Nook Color as a potential second tablet. Women tend to like the 7" form factor a lot, is all I would add to that.

I am also looking to buy another tablet (Gtab) maily because wife likes so much that I barely have my hands on it.

It is running 3589 i think... the latest stock rom and it running fine.

Personaly, i will change to other rom but she likes to have grocery list, contact list, calendar and etc.

Like you, can wait for honeycomb after devs working on it.
[Nook Color General] smithp67:
Is it possible that in auto nooting my ver. 1.1 Nook Color that it has installed spyware?

Perhaps it is just coincidence but a week or so ago I purchased a game from the app store with my credit card on my nook color. Now this week I see a charge from an online clothing store and also someone tried to use my CC# to open an amazon account.

I canceled the card but have never had anything like that happen before.

The purchase went through google accounts.

Perhaps it is just coincidence but I don't know enough about android to see if it is contacting some external site discreetly.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilibe:
Hi, I got my evo about a week ago and I'm just getting into the custom ROMs. I rooted and flashed Myns 2.2 RLS5 as my first new ROM but I have a few questions, can anyone help me?

1. In the Spare Parts app, i see there are many addons like Trackball Alert, etc. I checked all the ckeckboxes to install but after they installed, I can't find them anywhere on the phone. Where are these addons stored?

2. I noticed there is a "Warm Themed Market" and I like it but it seems that whenever I install/update an app from AppBrain, the Market downloads some sort of update which reverts Myn's Market theme and styling back to the ugly green. Is this avoidable?

3. Also it seems that there is already certain updated apps on the ROM such as Adobe Reader 10.0.1, Adobe Flash 10.1.106.16, etc. Is there any reason for this or will I want to update to the latest versions of there because I'm seeing update notifications in AppBrain when I sync.

4. I love the ROM but it just seems like the 3G is a bit slower than it was on my stock EVO. I went ahead and flashed the update-Warm-TwoPointTwo-RLS5-Hosts-Fix.zip for the Browser slowness fix. I also updated my profile and PRL. Now I'm getting an average of 600kb/s DL speed on 3G (I didn't get the speed stats stock but they definately seemed faster). Is this normal or is there something I can do about the speed. Not a dealbreaker just a little annoying.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
1) I'm not sure, I always just assumed those other settings were for different types of phones, and that they didn't apply to the Evo

2) You can indeed stop the Market from updating itself. Very annoying when that happens. Use root explorer or another root level file explorer and navigate to /system/app. Find "MarketUpdater.apk". (make sure the system is mounted r/w) Rename to "MarketUpdater.bak", changing the file extension will disable the app. That will stop your market from updating itself. Next, go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select 'all'tab. Scroll down and find Market and select it. Click uninstall updates. Thats it

EDIT: You can also use Titanium Backup Pro to 'freeze' the MarketUpdater.apk. That will also have the same effect.

3) I'm not sure about all of the apps, but if you update Flash, hulu won't work. If you don't use hulu, I don't believe there's any reason not to update. Some of the other apps, such as Gmail are themed. If you update it or reinstall it from the Market, you'll lose the theming of that app.

4) I never really attributed slow 3g speeds to any specific ROM, as Sprin't 3g speeds have been sub par lately, and speeds seem to vary greatly. The browser fix that you mentioned worked for me as far as the slowness in the browser. There's also another fix for slow 3g speeds, which I also did try, but personally didn't notice any difference. However, many people claim this method to work great, so it's worth a try. Find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922978 Also, for me, the host update fix for the slow browser works fine when I'm on the 3g, but while on 4g the browser still hangs. I could only fix that by removing all hosts files, and thus having ads again. I'd rather have ads than a slow browser.

Hope that clears stuff up a bit for ya.

[Nook Color General] irisa2:
Hello,

I am using the stock ROM(1.1) with auto nooter. I wanted to make it so the library will open the PDF files with the built-in Reader instead of the crappy quickoffice, so I uninstalled it using Titanium Backup. Everything went fine, but now when I click on PDF in the library, it doesn't do anything...

I installed quickofficeHD, but no luck there either. I think that the quickoffice handler is built-in the Library app, so the app is looking for the app in system/app. My idea was to put the quickofficeHD apk there, renaming it to the original quickoffice apk, and to see if this is going to work. The thing is that I don't even know the original apk name.

So if someone can help me, and to post the original apk from system/app or at least give me the full name there, that would be great. Thanks a lot in advance!
