That might help us to use USB 3G modems, if this thread gets moved/closed, you can post it in my thread in Android Development called "[On Hold] 3G USB Dongle Support". Thanks!
What would be cool if you could crack open your pad and snap couple pix of that 3G module...... I'm very curious if something similar can be installed on G-tab.
As I understand Zpad and G-tab are very close in design...
Thanks!

You may find this of interest then. I have the Zpad and popped mine open. I don't have the card installed though. One thing I'd like to know from the OP is, which provider do you have the card working with.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately it's not real clear, besides the socket itself, where and what kind of 3G module is installed. As of "HannStar J MV-4", most of the Google searches return motherboards or card readers for different computers.
Just curious what kind of 3G (model#) is installed. Since I already opened my G-tab, there is a mount that can easily accept required socket (some light soldering involved) and then just to get the right module and it can be retrofitted into 3G tablet. That's just a dream I know, but why not?? LOL

I suspect your main problem would be the lack of antennas installed in the gtab. The Zpad has it already installed and routed. I do know the Zpad comes from Malata with a Motorola module.

I have same machine and installed this ROM. But it's cannot wake up after long time of sleep mode. Do you have this issue.
there is a 3g rom way better than original one for zpad,it is about the same speed of vegantab rom.it is a nvflash rom and you need be careful if you do not know chinese.http://www.ez-pad.net/android-2861-1-1.html

SORRY for the chinese. Read carefully before you do anything you can use google translation. i may translate important part later if you need
Am I missing something??
What are we talking about?? Running 3G ROM on the tablet that is not 3G equipped??
It's like performing CPR on a dead person, what's the point??
Until someone figures out how to install that module and make it work on G-tab, 3G ROM is useless......
JMO.
Ok i need to clear some things up....
1. I have 2 Zpads, 1 is a 3G Version , 1 is Non 3G Version.
2. 3G version is running stock zpad Rom, Non 3g version is running Vegan 5.1.1
3. Both have 1 GB Ram
4. I have not opened either up yet, But will.
5. I was under the assumption most people here had the Zpad......not the gtab....
6. I am running the 3G with "three" internet provider sim card in australia, Speed test not close to a tower got me around 1.5 mbit. ( 150 kb a sec ).
7. tester30, bad idea to flame really.....zpads are out there and more popular than the gtab.....so this is not useless....

Just trying to understand what Zpad posting is doing in Gtab forum, unless someone can provide info on 3G module used in Zpad and couple pix would be helpful as well. Since those two are really close in design I won't hesitate to experiment on mine, even if I brick it. If there is a way to get that 3G running on Gtab it will benefit every Gtab owner.
Sorry if you felt flamed.

Ah... I was hoping you were in the states. I have the non-3g version and had thought about installing the 3g module in it. Pretty good speeds on that. As to your assumption it is valid in the grand scheme of things, but this forum is mainly for the viewsonic branded version of our tablet and we seem to be a minority here. It is fine though as they do good work for us as well. As I said before the vegan rom works really well on our tablets. Do you have the T2 Zpad?

I will try and get the model number of the module used in the 3g version of the Zpad later today. However, I believe it is a cdma module and I don't know how well it would work here in the states or if it does GSM.

No need to be sorry. It is a Chinese tablet. Haha. Do you know how well that rom would work on a T2 Zpad? It seems there was some concern because of the partition layout on the T2s.

It might support GSM as the provider im testing it with is not WCDMA.
though i will look into what Mhz range it uses.

I am using a zpad t2 wifi myself, there are zpad 3g too and also gtab. They are all made by malata but even zpads vary from each other in design of motherboard.
the rom is very good and it has a ios like style and vegantab like speed. It is build by chenglu who posted the 3333 and data2loop thread here.
I can flash all roms posted here for gtab with no problem.

I hope (think) that it's running GSM since you've mentioned SIM card.
None of the US providers: Verizon, Sprint have SIM and they are CDMA.
Only ATT and Tmo (GSM) are SIM equipped.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

So yeah I got a IPhone clone that has WM6 and it's all running smoothly enough.
I've got a couple of issues that have lead me to think about flashing the ROM.
First off the processor is apparently always at 100% cpu even though most of the apps run fine and anytime I try to overclock the OMAP850 in it it'll just white the screen out.
So I figured maybe the ROM was a bit dodge and apparently so.
I got GEN_WM6_...
and according to the rom update utility my current ce image version is
Ôج$Øج$
Basically gibberish, when I try to run the update it complains that it can't connect to the phone.
I'm running Vista so that may have something to do with it as well. Also I don't know how to get the phone into bootloader mode as it doesn't have any front buttons just 2 for volume on the left and 2 on the right for camera and some unknown function.
Oh yeah, the other question, should I be able to flash any ROM image on to it as long as it's WM6? I'm not using Verizon, I'm using Optus in Australia.
Can anyone help me with this weird and well most probably extremely difficult problem as the phone isn't really mainstream.

You can't just get flash a rom for one phone another. It is really hard to determine which base rom is it because there are so many iPhone clones with WinMo.
Many have no technical support whatsoever, meaning there won't be an update from the clone's manufacture.

Forgive me for correcting you we3zy but I'm sure you mean you CANNOT use any roms other than your phone manufacturers version.
Finding out who the manafacturer is, is going to be a challenge for sure
I guess my main issue is that whenever I try to change the clock speed on it(it has a OMAP 850) the screen goes white and I have to do a soft reset to get it to work properly.

Wow, guess the iPhone just lost its advantage: its design. Now if they only could do the same with the nokia.....

Gotta hand it to the Chinese. I would buy one of those iPhone-like handsets if they ran a WWE ROM.
Hey,
i'm pretty new to all this android. But yes after i seen the xoom, i want to have it. So i decided to buy me one, but it was not availible in my country and i bought an USA verizon version. I was testing it a bit and i was sure i want the 3g eu version and sell it and wait for the version which i want have.
Yesterday i got my xoom and i was pretty shocked!! It was pretty laggy and got the android lags, the first xoom doesnt have this lags but i was also stock.
I think there is a different between this to models or i dont know why my xoom is so laggy now! My first thought was to root it and overclock it, i will try that later. Maybee do also a reset.
How can i check this if that laggy?

I think you are saying you bought a US 3G Xoom out of sheer gadget greed, then sold it to buy a Euro 3G. You feel the Euro model is more laggy than the US model?
Do you mean in terms of overall performance or data connection? Was the US version you had running 3.1, and now the Euro model is running 3.0? That would certainly account for a certain amount of extra lag.

That is very strange....I don;t know of any reason for one to be more laggy than the other.
I would suggest doing a factory reset, then using one of the threads here to root it and update to 3.1. That should solve most lag issues you may have.
Yes i think so to, i tried to remove a few widget an see what happen.
I'll root it, later i forgot my usb cabel! For 3.1 is no EU support, after i update my 3g wont work anymore or i m wrong?

Just received my 7 Plus wifi. So far I like it, although there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest from xda or other forums. Since it was just released today, I suppose I need to be a bit patient. This is the closest forum so I am adding this post here.
I really need a root and adhoc fix so I can use it with my ET4G and sell my ipad!. Also I want to hide the status bar. I may dig into it attempting the 10.1 or 8.9 root, but I have a bit of reading to do on it first.

I have read that it uses the tegra2 processor, but I see no evidence of that. And now I attempt to find it on the web and it is nowhere to be seen.
I will definitely work on getting a system dump tonight after work. I might ask for some help onthis.

If thats not what you wanted let me know.
So now that the 7 plus has had its system dumped, who is gonna help me root this thing this weekend?

Thanks, I like it, but I hope development catches on like the acer iconia a100. I would have liked to opt for the 7.7, but I read its not coming to the states and the pricetag will likely be heftier.
I bought it thinking it had a tegra2 but was elated to find it has the exynos.
I think, if I weren't already awaiting the HD SAMOLED+ awesomeness of the 7.7" tab, I'd probably sell my 8.9 now and get a 7 Plus. I've been saying all along that the Exynos is a beast. Tegra2 is a huge disappointment for me...
P.S. I've seen preorders from Expansys and Mobile City of ~$600 - 700 for the 7.7 import. Have my 3G 7.7 preordered now from Expansys. Oh baby! Can't wait!
Hey Guys
I have bought the asus Fonepad which so far is a great device.
But i can´t find any information onn the internet on how to root it.
Could you use a general root for the padfone or do i have to wait for
a special root.
Thank you
I got my Fonepad this morning and its nice, but it needs some developer love to be my daily driver for more than a couple of weeks.
You cant count me in for at least $50 towards the cost of a device if a developer wanted to take it on.

I've on this device for cluple of days and it's really a kind of device with great potentials. The screen is nice with good density and the connectivity are all in. The telephony features is unique for this kind of device and the best part is it's running on Intel, I know developers can do wonders on this device and not to forget the price is very affordable.

Tested it on the fonepad. Doesn't work. The shell doesn't show up after booting. Also after "Restore my data" the script doesn't recognize that the restore is done. I have to power off the device manually.
Up to now I haven't found a solution on the net to get root access. I want to use the fonepad with USB OTG to controll a DSLR. If this isn't possible I have to sell it again
I've ordered it and I'm waiting for the device, I hope that will be opened a dedicated forum!
Coming from P1000 that was kept alive still today with 4.2.2 by amazing developers. I hope this will too.
I got one too
I have had mine for a week now and am finding the performance to be a bit sluggish, but not too bad. The total package is quite nice. However, we need to be able to root it to get the most out of it. I will contribute as well.
How much?
Hi guys, just curious how much you bought the Fonepad for and if anyone using it on T-Mo? If so, what speed are you getting with the HSDPA?
Thanks!
Edit #1: I'm blind, PERLMANE is on T-Mo. What data speeds are you getting?
Edit #2: Oh and can you side loan Flash Player so viewing of websites with Flash content? I read somewhere saying since it's X86 that Flash Player won't work, though I couldn't understand why not.

I got the same error message when I tried to install Firefox. I looked at the Firefox release notes and it says Firefox does not support Android running on an Intel chip. I had not realised this was going to be a big limitation.
I hope asus fonepad get some love from dev soon. Lot of potential in these phablet. Intel has some software compatibility but seems makes up in battery life.

I am getting good speeds on T-Mobile. While it says "H", it is clearly delivering H+ speeds consistently over 5m download and close to 3m upload. This is much faster (almost double) that of the H+ speeds I was getting from AT&T.
As for Flash, I could install it, but that effort was not worthwhile since it does not seem to work with any browser.
Asus Fonepad USA Fedex asking FCC Form
I ordered from Taiwan for delivery to USA.
Fedex called and says they need FCC form 740 and it asks for FCC Id. Otherwisea they say it will not clear custom. How do people get this into USA? Has Fonepad passed FCC requirements?
Not sure how I can proceed...

That form is supplied by the shipper. The same thing happened to me, but it was resolved immediately without issue.
Did you guys try motochopper? It might work...

Thanks for the feedback! I wish Flash worked since I'm on Justin.tv constantly streaming videos...!

It fails to install SuperUser Binaries. Perhaps the Intel Atom chipset has something to do with this failure to exploit for root.
So has anyone figured out how to unlock the software restrictions to make the shield tablet LTE usable as a phone?
I want to buy it but I would like to have the option to use it as a phone in an emergency if something happens to my phone. I am an international buyer but i would have to import it to my country regardless what version I get since it is not sold here, and the EU version happens to be for 450 USD (I would rather get a controller or a cover with the extra cash) .

I am sorry... but what bugs? I am not talking about any bugs here.
Its a software restricted feature of the shield tablet in the US.

I used hangouts and the hangouts dialer APP and it works for me. Slight lag in voice but works on WiFi OR LTE sim card.

Yeah I mean we could always use skype or hangouts, but if that's the only way, I might as well get the wifi version then (wifi is pretty much everywhere u go)
I thought by now someone would have figured out a hack or something lol
oh well ... how is it as a tablet btw? do you have any complaint regarding it?

Yeah but the point of getting the LTE version is so you have data when you need it, so you might be able to rely on your data coverage to make calls. That and the boost in storage.

Meh, to me the LTE is useless if not to make calls with (in case something goes wrong with your phone) I mean there is free wifi everywhere I plan to take it with me... Airports, Hotels, most shopping malls, Coffee shops, friends house, the office... every single place I can think of that I would have my tablet with me in would have free wifi
The only thing thats going for it and I fully agree with you on that, is the extra storage... kind of a D move from Nvidia if you ask me... they should have and option for same storage for wifi version as well.

I have none !! I guess I got lucky cause I have none of the issues with battery, wifi, data, cracks, etc. that alot of those on here and the nvidia forum have complained about----> https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/150/shield-tablet/
I'm rooted and still on 4.4.2 and don't expect to go to 5.0 or 5.1 anytime soon. Too many horror stories I don't want to experiance. If and when the bugs are ironed out, maybe.
I've not heard of any success stories using the Shield Tablet as a device with LTE + Voice Calling.
I did have limited success when flashing the wx_un_mo 1.2 ROM.
I now have a working SIM from my provider, but have not yet tried re-flashing that ROM due to time and family constraints. I've been hoping to get back to it and try again.

I think most people were fine (in terms of software) until they installed Lollipop. I'd stay with 4.4.2. If the next update doesn't fix all my lagging, locking and rebooting, I'm either going to downgrade or get rid if this tablet. Too bad, because I bought both the cover and the controller. Although there is a rumor that Nvidia has already lined up the next version of the tablet with the new processor in it... could be tempting...
