They weren't fast at all; it took over 1 week. That's over 1 week of a broken product :/ Any responsible and self-respecting dev, let alone software development team, would have it fixed the next day.
Nothing against you of course, just expressing that I disagree.

where do you signup for beta?
There was an update at the top of the beta signup page, that they were no longer accepting new testers. Shouldn't be a surprise if you got a rejection notice. lol

that's prob not going to work anyhow as they are requiring you to provide your IMEI and Skyfire relies on a server so it prob will be locked to authorized IMEIs.

I agree and didn't appreciate it. If they only wanted 30 testers then they didn't need to ask publicly for testers. I regret sending them my IMEI which they requested BEFORE they rejected me. I can wait for Flash 10.1 which will negate any need for Skyfire, imo.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend releasing the apk if anyone has it. I was on blackberry when Skyfire was alpha testing for bb and the app was leaked. It took Skyfire about 2 hours to shut the whole alpha test down for a month while they revamped their procedures for security checking the testers. now the whole bb test is gone.
I'd say just be patient on this one.

hahah I remember that one. I had it on my bb for 20 mins before it stopped working. BTW skyfire just announced that they stopped developing for bb for now until 6.0 is out.
For those who want flash that bad just install the Desire rom it has flash. It cool but it is very choppy for my taste.

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 ...

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?

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...)

well i couldn't get the network to work(4g/3g) but i was able to make phone calls, so i uninstalled it for now.
With the couple hours i spent tinkering with CM7 i fell in love with it, i will keep checking on the updates for a more stable version.

Im my experience CM7.1 is not really stable yet on the G2x. I guess that depends on your definition of stable, but I was having a lot of problems, even with the release canditate. I absolutely loved CM on my nexus one, but it might be better to wait for a stable build for this phone unless your helping out with bug tracking and what not.
Yeah that's what i'm going to do, wait for a stable build.

Any fix for black lines flashing across screen?

Somebody has to be working on this. This is getting kinda irritating. Listen to music, flash black lines, watch movies, flash black lines, type notes in supernote, flash blacklines. Not a big deal in terms of performance, just an irritating bother for a $600 tablet!

I have them as well, and while I would like them to pack up and leave, I concur with the OP that it is not a deal breaker of any sort.
I can't remember having them on ICS -- would this be a JB thing?
Only happens to me very rarely, only when browsing, once or twice a day at most. Never in games, films, music or documents...
Working on it?-- That implies that they still care about us. They don't. I have almost 50 of these that I support, all have the issue and even after working with Tien and Gary to get a resolution.... they have given me absolutely nothing as far as support goes.
They have suggested cold boots and factory resets... that is all. And NO, those actions fix NOTHING.
Tien... you even abandoned my support call..
Last communication that I had with him was this on 11/7:
Hi Jordan,
Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to inform you that we have passed all this information back to HQ so they can test and figure out a solution. I am confident, with all the material we've supplied, that they can duplicate and figure something out. I just want to thank you for sticking through this. Hopefully the new firmware update will address all these issues.

Tien,
I am assuming by now that you or your company has been able to reproduce the graphics issues, reboots and issues that have been happening with the TF700. If you are having trouble with that, there are large groups of users getting these problems, documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811538&page=14
Please let me know what asus plans to do to resolve these issues. Again, these are company machines that are relied on everyday as a primary work space for some. Please email me asap to let me know a time frame that I can expect some sort of resolution.

From time to time, a black horizontal line flashes across the screen, usually in the upper third (at least when I noticed), seems to be random. Looks like a GPU driver issue (maybe NVidia's fault?) because it appeared first with the JB updates.

Yep, correction on my earlier report of none after 23 update, thought I saw one last night, know I saw one this morning, no developers options ticked.
But frequency and duration greatly reduced....still needs more work though.
I concur with above poster, still not totally resolved
Definitely less than last update, but still there every once in a while.
Thanks for the improvement, but keep looking.

I'm pretty sure sbdags is applying his magic as we speak. He has a lot to go over, so give it a few days. I do hope the new update remedies it to a large extent, because they are annoying.
The remark of "no developer options ticked" seems to deny me the pleasure of disabling 2D GPU GUI rendering and seeing them leave automagically. I had that idea yesterday evening -- well, I'm going to try anyway. (If it should somehow work out, that'd be a strong lead to suspect a driver issue. Damn you, NVIDIA! )
PS: are we all on CROMI? (Me: v2.7.2) I guess stock ROM is no different to all intents and purposes as far as the black line issue goes. Do any of the people in here that use AOSP/AOKP/CM10 have them too?
My Nexus 7 used to do this as well. I think it's a problem with the Tegra 3 while the wifi is being used. I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 7 since 4.2 though.

Interesting suggestion! I hadn't noticed anuyhthing partiucular in connection with the WiFi being on while the problem occurred. I am curious to see if I can ''fix'' this myself. Anoter workaround for an -- essentially -- hardware issue? (If you are correct, and that carries a rather high probablility, you'd suspect the Tegra3 to be susceptible to some kind of EMF reception and static build-up internally or something,. Ugh, another unsolvable issue to contend with. And still I like this device very much.

[Discussion]Whatever happened to BBM for Android?

They were supposed to launch the app on 21.09.2013, and then supposedly, their servers couldn't take the load. Last I heard about it was a tweet 8 days ago saying that they are "100% committed" to launching the app on Android and ios.
Unbelievable... that they should take so long, considering their expertise.

They blamed the leaked apk for causing technical problems with the servers prior to the official launch.
TBH I was curious to see and try BBM. I tried it and now I'm not interested. I also think BlackBerry needs an attitude adjustment.

Did it work when you tried it? I too tried but it didn't work.
I have been waiting for it since June (I do think Whatsapp isn't completely baked yet), and I do now think they've given up on it.

Back in Beta
The users in the beta program for BBM for the android platform is saying that it's back in beta, with a screenshot showing the download page showing a ver. "100.0.0.71".
Hopefully this doesn't leak and it's back online in the next 2 weeks at least

Hope it lives up to expectations this time.
However, with so much going on with Blackberry, I now have doubts if this app will ever see the light of day.
According to a news site today:
In an interview to Reuters, Frank Boulben, BlackBerry's chief marketing officer, said he expects the BBM to launch on Android and iOS "within days," adding that the company is confident that it fixed issues that arose after the initial cross-platform launch of the messaging service last month.
...within days.......
