Just bought G-Tab - G Tablet General

Hi, everyone.
Want to introduce myself to this forum.
Yesterday got G-Tab........
So far so good. In 24 hours got 2 updates. Tab is running like a champ now!!!!
Of course will be looking for custom ROMs, to improve as much as possible.
Talk to you later and Merry Christmas!!!!

Ditto back!

Welcome...
You've come to the right place for g tablet support.

Welcome
Just purchased mine yesterday also (early X-Mas present to myself). I went straight to a custom ROM as I had been already doing this with my phone. Gotta say that I love this device. Passed my reader over to my sister as this will take the place of the reader immediately!

Copilot 7

Hi guys,
Don't know if this is the right place for this question, but is anyone familiar with CoPilot 7 software? I am considering buying, but just wanted to see if anyone else has used it.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi
I think my wife has it on her Touch. It is pretty easy to use, but sometimes doesn't find the shortest route. Gets you there in the end and if you take a wrong turn it sorts it out for you pretty quickly.
Whichway
i perfer iGuidance
I was looking at this at http://www.pressdigital.com.au/navigation-vehicle-tracking-mapping/copilot-windows-mobile-australia-p-5390.html. Is this a good price, and would you recommend it?
are u looking for USA or Australia version?
A friend of mine has it on his O2 Orbit and he went to it from Tom Tom as it came free with the PDA once he got used to it he likes it and loves the way it updates the speed camera's as it starts up (UK version)
Netnerd - I am looking for the Australia version.
Owl - Thanks. Definitely sounds like it's worth a try.
Chris
Thanks for all your help. I just ordered it, and I will post back here in a few days to let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Chris
Received my order already! Easy to follow installation. Everything looks great. I will try it out, and post back in a few days.
Thanks everyone
I Am Not Amazed...It's the standard of PressDigital....
Hi cajohnson,
I am not amazed that Press Digital Send it you this Quickly. I bought My CoPilot 7 from them few weeks back and to be honest they know how to treat their customers.
By the way What i like most about Copilot 7 is it's Easy to Use Navigation
and it's Easy Destination Entry. 3D Maps just makes best out of perfects. So i also reccommend it if, anyone wish to buy it...Don't hesitate...!
Thanks,
Alenka
You're right. I love it, and Press Digital was great to deal with. I love how easy it is to re-route and get you back on track. Took a trip yesterday for work, and really got to try it out. I was really impressed.
Thanks,
Chris

			
				
Im absolutely satisfect with Ndrive.. you should try it
Personally, I think Google Maps is an acceptable navigation program especially factoring the fact that its free.

December 19

Tomorrow is the 19th.
Should we be expecting the big update...
Any idea's on what it will include in addition to flash ?
I have a feeling it's going to come and go. An their will be no updates.
Most likely they are going to wait a few days and then release a state-
ment that they are working on a major update and as soon as it's done
they will push it out.
I would say, second or third week of Jan. of 2011 for the next patch
from Viewsonic.
Looks like a wait and see ...
Today is the day!

Viewsonic hasn't updated their Twitter in two days, and today is a Sunday. I will be very (happily) shocked if we see something today.
I have my device running stock right now (and FC'ing I might add) as I wait....and wait...and wait....

Poor Roebeet. I kinda feel like we should just buy you another tablet just to get these updates. Because running stock just sucks.

This awesome community already did. I just need SEARS to be kind enough to offer up an outlet device that I don't have to fly to, to pick up.
I keep hoping that someone offers a scratched up floor model on eBay, for a deep discount. That would be the perfect dev device for me.

Where in PA are you? I can drive to Freehold and get that one and drive it to you if you are close to me.
I just purchased the one from Novi, MI, purchased one a week ago, and they sent it back, so I couldnt purchase it. So this time I called them right after I ordered it and made sure I get the product, and I'll tell them if its actually broken or not...

There's a Freehold one?? I'm near Trenton. (checks site)
EDIT: Nothing. I've been scanning it on and off all morning. I actually saw a Freehold one about 2 weeks back, but I wasn't looking for an extra one at the time. Too bad, because Freehold is an hour away so definitely do-able.
If there is ANY truth to the Gtablet being pulled by Viewsonic, the CS line will be shut off anytime, within days and they will not bother with the FW release. All of this stuff costs money.

I have never had wireless or FC problems. I guess that is why I was never motivated to install a custom ROM. I just installed all the mods on the original UI.
On a related note. Since this update (supposedly) contains Flash for the g-tablet, should I remove the Flash hack first?
been checking all day.....no update...what a bummer

Not only is there an update, but there's a TnT Lite 3.0.0 cooking right now!
roebeet,
did you see the current post for updated GAPPS for Tegra.
Was wondering if you were considering them in your update.

We already have those files (I did look at it) - I can tell by the HTC stuff and other files in there that it's the same Gapps we've been using for the last month.
Just wondering...what time did it hit? The last time i checked was 8:00 pm last night and was no joy.

That first Freehold one is the one I am on now, lol! There was a second one a couple of days ago, gone now.
This is a great little tablet, Viewsonic has to know they screwed up the software. The hardware doesn't seem to be the problem in my book.

It's ALWAYS been the stock fw that wasn't any good. When I first got mine, I had this crazy idea of staying stock, but the original fw would always Force Close in the news page, and then the update resulted in the weather app Force Closing on me, so I moved onto custom fw and settled on TnT lite.
I might even go back to trying stock fw if TnT ever get their act together...
Now, I understand from the 3316(IIRC) thread that flash is still not included, but their website is still claiming that flash support would be released yesterday. (Odd day, Sunday, to release a fw update...)

Got a Chrome OS notebook!

I signed up for Google's Chrome OS pilot program and they picked me as a beta tester!!!!

My zip code had one coming today and one coming tomorrow, but the tracker went down so I have no idea if today's was delivered or if I still have hope.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Still no love for me
I signed up about a week ago. *fingers crossed*
So far this is one slick machine

I did not recieve any kind of emails. They just delivered the package without any notification. Christmas came early this year!! .
It's actually a funny story. I am staying at my parent'h house right now, babysitting their dogs. My gf told me that a package came for me at our apartment when I was not really expecting one. I was really caught off guard.
I've read reports of people getting emailed that they've been chosen as a tester, but not emailed any shipping information. The laptop just appears on the doorstep.
EDIT: NM, delayed response on my part.

Well, I can confirm the doorstep part. According to my gf, it was just sitting right outside our apartment door. No way to treat such a treasure.....
I am planning on uploading a video to Youtube showing off some functionality. I will post the link on this thread when it is done.
How long did it take between when you signed up and when it arrived? Im wondering if i still have hope..

I think I signed up about 2 months ago. It says you can sign up until Dec. 21st. They are supposedly giving 60,000 of them away, and have only shipped 13,000. Good luck!
i signed up for mine last mon or tues and received it that thursday (2-3 days later) with NO notification - it just arrived on my porch
I'm so disappointed...there were two coming to my zip code yesterday and today but neither one was for me. I have a relatively small town of non-tech savvy people too so I was hoping I would get one but it looks like both have already been delivered
btw, for anyone who wants to check if there are any coming towards your zip code (it won't tell you what address for privacy reasons) then you can check out this tracker somebody made for it:

Ya, I checked on that site. There were 2 units coming to my zip code and one was mine

2 were delivered to my town so far.. I pray there's still hope for me since there's still a rumored 45k left.
this is a neat netbook. i love the 8-10 hour battery life but honestly, i can get more done efficiently on my Captivate running Assonance 5.0 w/ JL3 modem and it's much faster.
going to put the cr-48 in developer mode over the holidays and install a dual boot of ubuntu to make it a really efficient and useful machine.
I signed up several weeks ago, but no love yet. 2 have been delivered to my zip code but not to me. I did get some GTV love, I got my Revue yesterday so at least I have something to keep me busy between sacrificing chickens to the gods in hope of a CR-48.
***will trade my cr-48 for Revue***
When I get my CR-48 I'll let you know if it's a good trade
I've only had my Revue for a night and I am loving it so far. Once I can get this thing rooted to get around the network blocks it will kick some serious a$$.

Greetings! Drank the Kool-Aid

So I finally have my AT&T Skyrocket and HP Touchpad both on CM9 (played around with AOKP for a second on the phone too) and don't know what took me so long. I'm very thankful for all the help that I've found here on XDA and am looking forward to being able to post in development forums so that I might be able to help any way I can in the future.
Problem is now I'm constantly adjusting and updating/upgrading things...before, it was just the phone; now there's a tablet too!
Congrats! Also, may God have mercy on your soul because all your base are belong to XDA now.
Hah! Yeah...I waited for the longest time hoping that AT&T would get off their asses and release an OTA update for ICS but nooooooo...finally got fed up one day and had a friend help me out. He's pretty involved/into XDA so that was nice to have.
Now I'm constantly on here reading through various threads...can't wait to see how many ways I'll try to customize my Touchpad.
If you mean HP Touchpad, Some devs on here have found a way to dual boot Android on it.

Yep, done! Absolutely loving it thus far...it's nice having my phone and Touchpad on the same ecosystem. Chrome is acting funny on the TP but so far Dolphin's very smooth.

T-Mobile Waiting Lounge

Who here is actually getting the v10 from T-mobile? I am 85% Sure at this point. The phone seems nice, great specs not to mention Removable battery, SD card, IR blaster the three scace now on phones.
Can't forget that sweet deal either from LG: Free 200gb sd card, with free battery and cradle
This is how I see it, if not happy with the v10, will still have the 200gb SD card...but by the look of things, I will be happy....I mean, its the first phone I am considering without a case :highfive:.
Whats your thought?
BTW, here seem to be a snag when trying to order straight from t-mobile, it is not allowing some (not sure if all) to place an order through jump. I message t-mobile rep and this is what I found.
Joselito E: Hi Madina!
Joselito E: We appreciate the time and effort for staying in our queue! Thank you so much!
Joselito E: I feel the excitement there that you want to get your phones upgraded. No worries, I can certainly check the other options for us to be able to process an upgrade.
You: thank you, i thought it was just me but others are having the same issue
Joselito E: Yes, because as of the moment, we are having an System Enhancement for us to get a better way to process an upgrade.
You: Oh ok
Joselito E: The estimated time for us to fix it is on 10/30.
You: so we can't upgrade until than?
Joselito E: You can still, just give my colleagues a call from Customer Care Team for us to be able to process for you.
You: oh ok will do
Joselito E: You may call my colleagues at 1-800-937-8997 or 611 from your T-Mobile phone.
Joselito E: Would there be any other things that I missed?
You: No that is it thank you
Joselito E: You're most welcome! Again, this is Joselito E. Your account specialist. I hope we are able to get some feedback coming from you soon. You may have a wonderful day! Goodbye for now!

I will go to my local tmobile store this friday to pickup my V10. I can't wait!
As soon as it's confirmed bootloader unlocked I'll be all over it.
I think I will jump on demand from the note 5 on friday. Since the new lumias wont be sold on tmobile ill jump to this. Im looking forward to get my hands on this.

Oh nice, I never knew a note 5 user will drop it for the v10 Any specific reason if you dont mind me asking ? I currently have the nexus 6..love that thing, waiting for the price for 64 gb to drop even more to make it my second device.
V10 just seems more daily friendly than the note 5 to me personally.
I've got a few TMo stores in the area, I'll be calling around Friday to see who has it in stock! This should be a nice upgrade from my G3. Now to figure out how Jump works (not Jump on Demand). I've only been with TMo for a little over a year, so I've never gotten around to switching up phones.

I find the removeable battery and sd card more appealing to me personally. I find interesting about the camera capabilities and look forward to try it out. I had the lg g3 before the note so i miss my sd card.

Assuming half of your device is paid off and you have jump 2, you will jump to the v10 without any hassle. If for any reason half of your current device is not paid off, you cannot jump without making that payment in store. Hope that helps

Ah nice, yeah I'm over the halfway point by about a month so hopefully this will be nice and easy!
I ordered mine online just to guarantee I'll get one in case.. Kinda wish I had just waited until Friday, but oh well. I don't do jump on demand. I usually only upgrade once a year, this will be my first multi-upgrade. I like to own my device and use it to resale later. I can get more money to put towards my new phone that way, or if I need it for immediate bills I can just finance the new one and pay it off a little slower.
Ive been trying on Tmobiles website to use my Jump and upgrade but it wont complete. Even tried the chat with a Rep for a while She told me to try back later. I had the Nexus 6, Cracked the screen Assurant gave me a GS6 as a replacement and I hate the smaller size.. Was Really holding out for the Nexus 6p But doesnt seem that will be on TMobile anytime soon. So Ill just Jump to the V10 and I have another Jump available in Jan in case anything else comes along..
I ordered this morning. It said back ordered and they only had black as the color option. Hopefully we'll have root available. The promo pushed me over. I got to use it a little and wanted it and the promo made me get it.
Just got back from my t-mobile store. I reserved mine for Friday am. I'll be there when the doors open at 10 am. I will be saying good bye to my trusty note 2 that has served me well for a long time. The v10 is the first phone I felt would be a substantial upgrade. I got to mess around with it in the store. Wow.. Hopefully my water damaged core dropping massively abused note 2 will hang in till Friday..

I was not aware it is in store already, nice! I better call around to see if my stores have it. What are your thought on it while using? How is the lag or lack of?
They had one in the store to play with?
I work in a mall and the Tmobile store is just a few steps away. I might need to sneak over there later.
Old faithful note 2 user here! I still love it but waiting 10 minutes to open my gallery is getting a little old (embarrassing too when I whip out the phone to show someone a picture "real quick". Hah not so much.)
The promo kinda pushed me over the edge too. I've been seriously considering the 6p and even sneaked a peek at some blackberry priv info. (hardware keyboard be still my heart!)
Friday might be the day!

Only getting it if it comes in the white/gold color.... Until then I'll keep my Note 5.
Looks like no phone for you then Charlie Brown. T-Mobile only gets the black version.
They had them in the back and brought one out for me. Lag? What lag.. I feel your pain about the gallery. Very irritating on my note 2. The v10 is really impressive. Makes my note feel old school now. And my note is rooted with custom rom. All the good stuff from XDA-Developers. So its still a very relevant phone. The v10 is a whole nother level..

Sweet, I am glad to know this. I know the lg 3 (my only lg experience) had stutter issues and by the time i left the device 6 months later, the issue was still present but was fixed 7 months into the release. Left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth ya know? I am actually about to go to my tmobile store, they got a demo in store they can bring out for me I ...am...psych!
