I've come into money issues and am forced to sell my Cappy I'm gonna miss these forums but hope to back (maybe a Dell Streak in my future when I get back on my feet lol) anyways now for my shameless self promotion.....I listed it on Ebay with a $375 reserve if anyone is interested. I'll check in on these forums from time to time like I still do with the Nexus forums. Good luck and stay patient as I'm sure you will have roms and other goodies for your Cappy's coming soon.

I've done a bunch of research and decided to enter the tablet world today thanks to woot. I've read a bunch of information on the GTablet and one of the things that keep coming up is the fact that out of the box, it leaves something to be desired. Since I will be rooting it and installing custom mods on it anyway, I'm not worried too much about the preinstalled software, but I read about updates from ViewSonic. Can someone fill me in on these updates so I know what course of action I should take as soon as I get my new tablet?
Connect to wifi, DL viewsonic update, reboot, install clockworkmod then your rom

Sick, I just wooted
Same. I was all stoked for the iPad2 but decided to go with a rooted Gtab. Hope I'm not disappointed!
Almost bought one from Sears the other day for $400. Good thing I passed on it as Woot has it for $100 less. Anyway, I've been reading on a lot on the xda forum too, hopefully I will have all the knowledge to properly root it. I've been jailbreaking iPhones are years now, so I hope that experience help on rooting android.
If there are links to guides that help help newbies, please post them. Thanks.
All of you,
Congratulations on your new G-Tablets -- even if you did get them way cheaper
than a lot of us did!!!
But please, all of you, read these forums and get used to your tablet so you don't
make a mistake and mess it up bad. Modding does have risks.
All the info you need is in these forums. A little research should answer most
questions -- and it you don't "get it" at least you will be able for post an
intelligent questions someone can help you with.
Good Luck,
Rev
They must have wooted a lot of tablets. I wooted one too.

The GTablet is a hackers dream. Easy to root, so much so that all the custom ROMs here are pre-rooted for you and can be installed easily without rooting the factory ROM. Jailbreak experience not required but I do recommend you become as familiar as you can with "nvflash" as it could become a very good friend if things go awry. You'll find some information about it and a lot of other good info in the stickied threads in the development section.
Same Here, Just wooted one as well.
Does that make all of you wooters???

My iPad 2 just came in the mail today after waiting since I ordered on launch day... My friend text me the woot deal this morning so I ordered one... tablets have such a long ways to go I'm much happier spending half as much until something amazing comes out.
Luckily someone took the iPad 2 off my hands from craigslist... now I just have to wait for woot to ship! Lots to read in the meantime it seems. It's exciting to see such a great community following for a device.
Also got one off of woot today! Been wanting a tablet for awhile. Really wanted the xoom but for the price I couldn't pass up the g-tab!
Me too!
I also just got me a g-tab off of woot. I am torn though cause I am not sure which I'll use more, my inspire 4g or my g-tab...
I guess this thread needs to be called the "Woot Club". I just found the woot of the day, and snatched it up for $279. Too good to pass up.
I was so happy to find all the good things you guys have to say about it on this forum. I'm running an Incredible with CM7 RC2 and love the customization and well, the OS itself. It was actually XDA forums that made me decide to pull the trigger.
I got in on the woot too. Very excited. I hope my wife doesn't kill me when that woot box shows up. I'll have to buy her some earrings to distract her.
I wooted this morning at work! I'm exited to see what viewsonic has come up with. I have a rooted dx now hopefully rooted this one will be similar. Z4 root works I've heard?
I purchased one from woot as well. I currently have a D1 and have rooted the phone several times. This is a great forum to gain knowledge and I can't wait to begin playing with the gtablet. I was going to wait for the samsung but couldn't pass on the price.
joined the woot train and purchased mine. Addicted to rooting and customizing my Sprint Epic 4g, was going to buy a Nook color but not anymore
Can't wait to mod my G-Tablet and show friends its awesomeness.
Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?
why even post this?
i didn't realize i was breaking the law, this is in the general section, it's a discussion that you don't have to read or post anything if you don't like it, no one has a gun to your head.
Seriously, what's the purpose of these I sold, wanna sell, thinking about selling g2x threads, just do it, gtfo, be gone. Good riddance, and go frequent the I phone or sensation forum. Troll.
You got $300? What kind of condition was it in? Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about selling mine which is in almost new condition. The only way you can tell its used is by looking at the chrome strip on the battery cover under a bright light. You will then see some surface scratches but other than that, there isn't a mark on it.

I'd sell mine for $600. I'd donate $50 of that to Cyanogenmod team.
I'd also likely flirt with you guys' moms, and if they bought my phone I'd throw in a little bonus if you know-what-i-am-saying.

Ok guys, here it is:
Contemplating buying a used Verizon version Xoom 32GB in good condition (no scratches) with wireless bluetooth keyboard and cover/case for it for $350. What do you guys think about this deal? I think it's pretty good considering the prices they go for used on eBay and Amazon Marketplace. I need some advice...and soon. I'm supposed to meet this guy in an hour and a half.
NOTE: I'm aware this does not belong in the DEV section and will delete it as soon as I get some input. I'm literally supposed to pick this thing up in an hour and I'm on the fence about getting it...also, I got no views on my post on the Q&A thread. Please help guys and excuse the post in the wrong section.
hmmmm
Asking this in a forum full of Xoom owners the answer is obvious..
Buy it root it love it!
.
Thanks for the reply...I'm not questioning the quality of the Xoom. I'm just interested in whether I am getting a good price considering it's used.
I'd definitely say it's a good deal. You're getting the 3g xoom, bluetooth keyboard and case for less than the price of the xoom new. Would jump on that!

ONLY buy on the condition you immediately flash the latest Tiamat rom But this thread will be moved in about 30 seconds is my guess
Let me start off by stating that XDA and all the moderators and users have created something absolutely amazing. This site has allowed and taught me to turn just my cell phone into something awesome and personalized. I'm lovin what you guys are doing so keep up the good work for sure.
The first smartphone I got was the Evo Shift, and fell in love immediately. I very soon after discovered XDA and started rooting and flashing away. I helped a few friends out rooting their phones, but I just felt like the Shift was far better and faster.
I used the phone for around 6 months or so. Unfortunately that's where my happiness ended. My girlfriend decided to snatch it out of my hands one night, and i guess decided that I no longer needed a phone, so she smashed it against the pavement which ended my little buddy. Lol. Well she saw the error of her ways or who know what, but she's going to try and buy me a phone in a day or so. We are both not really "ballin" enough to go throw money on some things. Anyways she only is gonna spend around $40 or $50 on the phone. I've looked on eBay, Craigslist, and other sites and it seems like im sort of S.O.L. I've checked out other phones besides the shift, and all i really care about is speed. But hell beggars can't be choosers lol. Well i decided to ask on here to see if I might get lucky and see if anyone has a decent sprint phone they are trying to sell or get rid of.
Any help is much appreciated and very thanked regardless.
I sympathize with your position but the only place on XDA for buying/selling/trading of devices is the marketplace, and unfortunately you will not have access there due to your account being very new, or by PM with someone and you are both taking a risk which most XDA members are unlikely to do. Or by an external source such as you have already checked out.
I will move this thread to Q&A since you did ask for suggestions, hopefully some members here can think of something helpful to suggest.
I suggest sticking with suggestions related to the phone and avoiding the relationship element please.
Thank you,

I would keep an eye out on Craigslist, and the XDA Marketplace. I've seen more than a few go for just around that price.
Hi, I currently have a iphone 4, I was gonna upgrade early but i'd have to pay quite a bit so decided to wait until it was free but in the meantime I really miss android so was wondering what was a good phone just to see me through like the next 5 months? I only have about £150 cos money is a bit tight at the minute. I'm in the u.k
Many thanks
