I don't know if my G Tablet is faulty, as I don't believe it could be software related any longer. I had a friend load TnT Lite 4.2 and it works perfectly. Even the market fix works. But this white border on the edge of the screen (only on start-up) has not gone away. Touch wood the white noise has not returned, but I'm a bit worried that it could be hardware problems? Any ideas?
Secondly, I see that there is an update for TnT Lite 4.2.4. Do I just load the two files (after extracting the rar file) onto my Gtablet and restart in Clockwork? I see it is just an additional pack. Do I then need to redo the market fix? Market seems to be working very well lately!
Thanks to all the developers on this great forum. I love my Tablet now that its been "upgraded"!

Hello people,
For the first time ever I bought a smartphone and the choice fell on the TC. Now I have it for a few days and I'm really happy with it. I installed TT 6.030 and it's working like a charm.
However, on the Today screen the TomTom logo (and text) has white pixels around it, it's clearly made for a light background. However I like dark backgrounds (like the default) so it's kinda bothering me. I searched the forums and tried Google, but I can't find how to change the logo. Copying the logo to my pc, editing it and setting it back for instance. Or maybe TomTom comes with 2 logo's so that I can pick another version.
Is this possible? If so, how and otherwise why not?
Thanks
ISTR experiencing the same thing with the version of TomTom I had previously bought. However, the version that comes with the cruise on the CD is slightly different and displayed properly on the homescreen. You can still use your existing maps with it.
Indeed, you should install version 6.032.
Ok every now and then, I get random artifacts on the screen in the form of white lines about a quarter inch long. Usually around the edge of the screen, but occasionally even in the middle areas, it seems to happen mostly when moving to the homescreen from an app, usually a dark colored one. (Could just be me, and it is just random with no dependence on any conditions of color) It did definitely seem worse when using launcher pro.
Is anyone else having this happen or is this a sign of a bad screen or other part?
I'm hoping this is just render errors due to the newness of the tetra chip on android.
Other than the limited viewing angles, I've not had any issues with my screen. What ROM & launcher are you running?
This happens to me on every TnT build, and not on zPad. It doesn't happen often but I assume it's a bug with the TnT skin.
Running on tnt lite 2.0
Just grabbed up a second gtab, will test it out as well.
I'm seeing white horizontal lines too. TnT lite 2.0.0
I see this as well. I thought it was LauncherPro because I didn't see them with the stock interface or ADW.
It might be the Tegra OpenGL update in TnT Lite 2.0.0+, assuming that's what everyone is using. That driver was added mainly for Angry Birds, but perhaps there's some instability in there.
I am having issues with blank notifications appearing and being unable to clear them without a reboot. I've tried turning off notifications in ADW.

Yeah, I get them on zpad and assume they are from Launcher Pro.

Sounds as if this is a universal "defect" if this is happening with different ROMs and launchers. I've also noticed when I get the ghost notifications, I can't use the keyboard to enter anything, either. It just doesn't appear.
it happens to me all the time in the top edge of the screen, expecially around the taptap icon
It did happen in the old home screen app, BUT they actually reset the whole display up top if you watch closely (load the homescreen app and these artifact go away)
But I've only ever seen them at the top edge, so i always assumed it was a problem w/ their notification bar not updating the display properly.
I also noticed it doesn't seem to happen if the sound is dead ("obtainBuffer timed out" BS) - so perhaps the two issues are related (perhaps some memory issue w/ them writing to the wrong address, which is why the sound dies randomly, expecially if the display is off, it's clearly a driver issue)

If I remember correctly, this happened before the update on the prior TnT lite as well.
Hello all,
I'm hoping someone an help with this.
I have already asked a few people, but no-one has been able to solve it just yet. I have faith though.
No matter which ROM I use (was using Vegan initially, then tried TnT Lite and even the stock TnT) when I try to use the camera it seems to "crash". The app loads, and I can interact with the app, but the camera screen seems to crash (colored lines for a split second, then nothing) then goes black. I can still change settings in the camera (such as change to video etc) but the camera screen is just black. When I click the shutter button to take picture, the picture appears at the top right in the little box but is just a green square.
Anyone any ideas?
Does it sound like a software issue? Or hardware?
I'm really hoping software as I don't want my tab to be broken.
I have not tried an nvflash yet, but probably going to do that tonight and fully reset it. Might that help?
Thanks in advance!
Mine was doing something like this. I found out with mine that when I opened the case, the camera had popped out of it's spot and wasn't pointing out the keyhole.
Hello,
I have noticed on certain standard android apps a number of issues that I have come across. I have tried with auto-rotation on and off of screen in settings. I have restarted my Xoom also. I don't have any of these issues with any of the tablet apps.
1. First off Jetcar Stunts, and Return Zero the menus are normal and function fine, but when you go into a race the screen looks like it is tilted at 45 degree angle. If you turn your Xoom vertical, the screen will level out, but you are looking at the car on the left side of the screen.
2. Several racing games TurboFly 3d and couple of others I cant think off of the top of my head work fine and the screen is in the right position, but to when you tilt to the left it turns the car to right, and vise verse the other way. The turning controls have been switched.
3. Adao File Manager, Adao Uninstaller, ishoot, and Medieval Castle retain their original size of an android phone. Is there any way to zoom in or have these apps stretched to fit the screen? The ipad lets you view iphone apps standard size and stretched size.
Anybody experiencing these problems, or have any solutions?
Thank you for your input.

Install "Spare Parts" free from the market.. Open it and uncheck the box for compatibility mode... Might not fix every issue as some things just refuse to run on HoneyComb yet but it should fix some of them. It will absolutely fix your last section where the apps don't fill the screen.
The problem is not you, or anything you did. The issue is honeycomb. Not all apps are compatable yet. It was like trying to run a win xp app on win 7 when it first dropped. Didnt work. Just wait. They will be updated eventually.
Thank you,
The spare parts helped with the apps that was stuck in their native resolution. It now fills the whole screen.
Yep... I'm waiting, too... seems Napster, SiriusXM, and my banks' apps aren't even showing up as installable on my Xoom - but they all show up on my Pure running XDAndroid! (waiting for July so I can upgrade to a real Android phone ).
I immediately put this all down to the fact that Honeycomb is so new, the devs didn't have opportunity to build versions compatible with it... yet.
But... this begs a question... I'd love to be able to copy the .apk's from apps I directly-installed on my XDAndroid port, onto the Xoom and see if they'll run anyway... but I can't seem to find the apk's. Being a noob on Android still, can anyone tell me how I can get a hold of these app files, or does the Market simply download, install, and delete?
Thanks...

I've searched but can't find my problem anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help.
The phone was my daughters and had a cracked screen, the phone still functioned and had no other faults.
I've fitted a complete shell including screen and everything was fine for a couple of days then the problem started. When I have a brightly coloured background the titles under the screen icons distorts, the brighter colour the more the screen distorts and shimmers. If I change to a dark coloured or B&W background everything stabilises again. It might be a coincidence but about the same time as the fault started the phone did and update to 5.0.2 from 4.x.x. The rest of the phone works ok unless a bright colourful image is on screen. I've tried all the obvious suggested tests, reducing brightness etc but nothing makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated.
I've tried to attach a photo but it crashes safari on my iPad.
When looking at the HTC wallpapers the problem is worse if I scroll down the choices it is worse on the centre and right images which I think are rain and grass, 2nd row from last/bottom, the dandelion is ok though. Would this be the screen itself, software or hardware?
I really like this phone but will probably have to go back to using my old iPhone if this is android.
