Is anyone else having ebook crashing or lagging? Any fixes?
Don't use that crap. That's for lamers. try Moon reader, Alkido, Cool Reader.
I've also have the crashes and sometimes it freez. I've treid aldiko cause i use it on my Galaxy S but then i have problems with changing landscape and portrait mode. The Moon Reader is runing well, but sometimes if i turn to next page it shows the current page again, though i have to do it twice to turn to next page. I really like the landsape mode of the stock reader. The two Page viewing is very nice. But with the crashes and freezes it's a bad thing. Some crashes are caused by some books, but deleting them don't fix it at all.
Is there a fix right now? Or do i have to use other reader. And does anybody know if there is another reader with a tow page view? I've tried some reader till now but didn't found a reader that i like. I've the latest Prime 1.7 Rom.
I switched to the Prime 1.6 reader version it seems more stable.
You can try the one I modified removing the demo epub and png. Just rename your current "apk" and its library "so" to "orig" before coping over so you can revert back if needed.

thanks for the files. I will try it.

Hey Folks,
Not sure if this goes into the developer part of the forum, but it's pretty deep, so I guess that's the spot.
Sometimes, when I shoot a picture, my SD card umounts, or at least the camera app says so.
Now, usually a reboot fixes things. Occasionally, I had to do fsck -a, which fixed things. Now, I don't have a USB cord handy and a strange thing occurred to me: When I try to view the shot picture via the picture viewer, I can see it perfectly but I get an error message that com.android.camera force closes. But the camera isn't launched - I killed it after the first two attempts via Process Manager for Root Users - what's up? Is the camera app needed to view pictures? That seems wrong...
Thanks for all the help I can get.

That is odd...
Do you have any themes or wonky mods on your phone? To answer your last question..yes, in order to view pictures, you need to have the camera app installed.
Which build are you running? Do you happen to have a vanilla Camera.apk handy to test if something strange has happened with the one present on your device?

ADP1. Nothing else, every app is standard, although I have used the SnapPhoto app occasionally. Hm, ok, I'm half at-ease now that I know that the camera process isnt' some kind of virus.

Camera.apk is vanilla ADP1. It's really strange. Could my SD card be broken? Although, when uploading stuff from PC, playing MP3s, nothing like this seems to happen.

Ah, thanks. I've got SanDisk 16 GB category 2. I'm getting a replacement tomorrow and post the results in this thread. Though I'd like to upgrad to Cat 4 if they let me. I heard apps launched from SD card should run faster then.
I am having pretty much the same problem. I can't view any pics on my phone, although they show up on my computer when I mount the camera to my computer. All I get is a weird icon in place of all the photos. It even tells me how many photos I have in each folder, just no thumbnails shown. When I try to view an individual picture it says "The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly." And I have to force close.
When I try to take a photo with the phone it says I need to insert an sd card to take a picture, but when I look under storage it shows the sd card fine.
I am running JF's RC30 1.41 with the BUUF theme, although I don't THINK that is causing the problem. I'm pretty sure it worked fine until the other night when I tried to take a photo with the battery really low and the phone shut down on it's own. However, I went into the card and deleted the jpg files that weren't showing a thumbnail picture thinking that would solve it, but no dice. Any thoughts? Is there a way to just re-install the camera app? I usually use SnapPhoto but the same no sd card message occurs with both camera apps.
I reported this issue to Google here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ID Type Version Security Status Owner Summary
Their official position is "There's been some significant improvements in that area that will be in a future release." Hopefully, this is included in RC33 just coming out, even though it has not been mentioned so far.
My interim solution was to use a different card (my trouble card was a SanDisk 8GB). I used a 2GB for a while with no problems at all, but I have been using another 8GB car for a week and have not had any trouble. I'd recommend a Class 6 card like the Adata I just got.
i noticed when i remove the camer.apk i lose the shortcut to the picture viewer and the shortcut when long pressing the home screen to add a wallpaper. after removal the only option is wallpaper gallery
Just an update. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, but after removing the bad .jpg's from my sd card I finally rebooted the phone and I now have a working camera and I can browse my pictures. So anyone else having problems, check your picture folders for files that won't show a thumbnail and remove those. See if that helps. Just remember to reboot your phone afterward.
If the thumbnails have become corrupted then that can cause crashes. Delete thumbnails so it can catologue all the picstures again
I'm terribly sorry but I forgot the promised update to this thread.
They gave me a replacement SanDisk SD card at fnac without much of a hassle and after the phone had indexed the 2200+ pictures on the phone, everything was smooth. I don't have camera app crashes at the moment.
My SanDisk ist 16 GB Class 2. Lots of thanks to funbacon!
Alright... Here's the low-down. I'm using an AT&T Fuze with the updated official ROM. I am having more problems with web browsing than I ever had with my old device...
Opera Mobile: Randomly refuses to load images. I just get the empty box that says 'image' at the top. Reloading does nothing and the context menu doesn't appear. And when images DO load and I want to save them, I'm forced to save them in a folder on the root of either my device or storage card (i.e.: "/storage card/temp" but not "/storage card/temp/images") and am forced to go in later and organize the files into the correct sub-folders. Plus, I can't set the default save location to the storage card, so I have to change THAT every time I try to save an image, too.
Opera Mini: With the stock Esmertec Jbed, Opera Mini isn't allowed to save or read files from my device. Way to go, AT&T. We appreciate you trying to protect people from themselves, but you guys suck. I tried downloading another version of Esmertec Jbed from the forum here and OM is able to save images, but half the time they don't display fully (I get the blank squares that OM likes to use as place-holders while it loads the image). That, and OM locks up with that modified Jbed...
Skyfire: Promising, but why can't I disable javascript? I keep getting popups that are obstructing the screen and I can't get rid of. That, and it seems to be overly sensitive to screen taps. ("No, I didn't click on that! Go back! GAH! Stupid popups!")
IE: Well, it shows images that Opera Mobile refuses to, it lets me save those images when Opera Mini won't even think about it and, as opposed to Skyfire, it gives me no option to ENABLE javascript. It does, however, throw up all over itself if you try to view a page that wasn't designed for a mobile browser. Sometimes it even locks up as a result...
Which brings me to my question for you fine folks. Can anyone offer a solution or fix for ANY of the above problems? Any one of these browsers would be fantastic, if not for its crippling flaw. I've read a little on this NetFront browser, but I don't know how I feel about PAYING for yet another browser.
Oh, and MiniMo/Fennec drags my device to a crawl, so that's no good...
You could try Iris Browser: no flash support but it a good browser.

PS: FEnnec is an alpha version
Thanks, D'rath! Iris works WONDERFULLY! All the nice things that Opera offers (tabs, 'flick' scrolling, accelerometer screen tilt) and it actually displays the images I ask for!

I have an order in for a HP slate but don't get it until April! Don't want to wait and need to use pdf files and be able to run acrobat so I can do annotations during meetings of pdf files and then sync to my server when I get back into my office. I know I can do it with the slate as it is windows based and has flash. Can I also do it with the G after the flash issue is fixed and with a program that runs in the android environment?
I specifically purchased Repligo Reader from the Market because it was the only app (at the time) that handled annotations. I don't know if the annotations are saved in the pdf or not (and thus would be visible if you transfer the pdf to another computer), but Repligo was well worth the purchase price.
Repligo does not allow you to write with a stylis or finger to make notes and that is an annotation feature that is powerful when you are in meetings and then want to take those notes and have them on the page.
It seems like acrobat has a android program, but I can't find anyone that has used it or knows about it. There is a bluebeam program that looks great but it is for windows.
Stylus or fingertip annotation would be the bomb. Dont know of any Android pfd apps that do that.. if you come across one, post it here, because I'd like that too.
Repligo
Friends, Repligo DOES allow you to annotate with a capacitative stylus or finger.
I know because i use it for school work at my university. Thats the main reason why i bought my g tablet in the first place.
When you are in a pdf, tap on the screen onces to bring up the top and bottom menus. At the top, click on the 3rd symbol from the left (pencil symbol).
Click on draw free hand. And...wait for it...magic happens
I've only ever bought 2 paid apps for my G tab and HTC Desire HD. (Repligo and thumd keyboard)
Hope this helps
Yep. It wasn't one of the features it had when it first launched, but it's been added over the last couple of weeks. Also, they finally changed it so when you zoom in on one page, it stays that way for the other pages.
I've bought more than 2 apps, but RepliGo was one of the better purchases.
Huh. Never noticed that before. Thanks for the tip!!
Cool. And thanks. Now any problems with syncing files on my Windows 7 OS office computer to the Gtablet? Any procedures you can turn me on to in that area?
Just purchased it and I am not so happy with it. The free hand mode will not let you let the pen up to print words without asking you to save or cancel at every lift of the finger. Also, I don't see a highlighter. Additinoally if you have a password to open the file the program will just not let you edit the file at all! Do you have any of these issues?
Once you select the text, you can highlight it in the pop up menu...
Just ignore the "done, cancel" menu when you are doing handwrite. You can continue drawing without any interference. Once you click done it does not save. It just confirms that you want to keep the characters. The file is only saved when you go to menu and click save.
Of course if you wanna highlight empty space / non-text, you cant at this moment. Not sure about the password one though.
Thanks for your help! My problem is that I have issues with even getting the program to recognize my selection of text. I touch and then drag and nothing! I have tried with different files (6 to be exact) and one of them allows me to select the text but that is very unstable and not consitant. Really a bummer as when I am in meetings, I want the interaction of me doing this to be quick and seemless. Otherwise I spend time trying to figure the program out instead of figureing out the issues that are present at the meeting.
Can you offer any help? Have a request into Cerience but have not heard back. I fear they are just going to say that some file have this problem and leave it at that. I found another cool program called pdf annotator 3.0 but it is not avalible for android. I just bought this g-tab and learned and did the root, clockmod, vegan and love it. In fact enought to cancel my slate order as this has a bigger screen, but if I can't annotate, I'll have to give this to my daugther who facebooks and googles, but I will need to stay with a pc os based tablet.
Support from Repligo has been good. They e-mailed to say that they don't support my password protected files and that is why I can't comment on those types. On the ones that I can the program is still a bit buggy for me. Not sure if it is the app for me. Will need to work with it for a while.
Repligo works on vegan 5.1.1 but everytime you tab the middle of the screen to get the menu to freehand the app FC. Those who are freehanding in repligo, which rom are you using?

I use RepliGo and all functions work nicely with VEGAn 5.1

Hi all,
I would like you guys to help me here if you have the time.
When I load a pdf with quite some pictures in it, it simply won`t load
I have searched for this issue and I couldnot find a solution.
Some genious suggested somewhere in a similar thread, that the OP might set expectations for a tablet too high(?). Which is bs in this case. Eeepad is no ipad, ofc, butan ipad works a LOT smoother when browsing and it loads ANY pdf without ANY issue. And the lag on this ( read; my eeepad) is creazy.
Can any1 plz test this link: http://m.mediamarkt.de/
Download the brochure, and tell me how well it loads in ANY application. Polaris, the ereader or acrobat.
Typing now lags like crazy, and simple browsing through xda crashes thebrowser.
Help me?
Love and peace....
Seriously... the EEE Pad (I assume anything with Tegra 2) is crap and really slow loading anything... and much slower than my 2 year old EEE PC.
I had the exact same problem when I bought mine... load a 30MB pdf, and each page turn took >3 seconds... here read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288277
Browser same BS.
Solutions I found:
1.- PDF: Mantano Reader 1.51 or above.
2.- Browser: Disable flash plugin or make it on demand.
Rayone is correct. I have found limitations with the PDF reader on the phone and the tablet. Get the Mantano reader or any other or equal that reads PDF.
BTW, I loaded this Markt ad book on my computer 8-core 32 gig ram and it runs very slow and it is very jerky. This leads me to believe that the compiling PDF software is either old or is set up wrong. So, it can be that as well. Either way, I think you are expecting alot from such a small power machine like a tablet.
Good Luck
There is a problem with mantano reader premium after installing CM on my tf101g. It crashes when i try to open any page with annotations, and I really want them back.
There was a lot more problesm after update, but most of them are fixed by me now. Mantano reader stores settings and annotations in sqlite database mreader-premium.db.
First of all it was a problem with a paths of pdf-s (because paths in CM and Asus ROM not equal), but i fixed it by editing 'metadata' table and it found all my books.
After that the reader was crashing every time when i opened a book, so i looked into exception and fixed it by cleaning 'display_options' so now i can open files. Looks like he can't understand old settings there.
Now i have just annotations problem. When i trying to open page with annotations - the reader crashes with
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=1; index=1
Crash in class hw.cookie.ebookreader.model.Highlight line 220
New annotations works ok. I think there is something changed with pdfloc indexes, but I can't figure exactly what.
Pleace, look into my mreader-premium.db for example new annotation in note table with id=821 works ok, and id=818 making the reader crash.
Pleace help me to fix it, it looks really the same, but maybe something changed in indexes intepritation or such. Just tell me what to fix to make reader work again. The PDF file is exactly the same.
Gzipped db attached in the post.
Or, may be, there is any way to take them from table and put into other format? I really can't figure how the used pdflock indexes to understand.
Or how can I see more datailed what's his problem? May be I should look in other table, but I really haven't any candidate more.
I have also send report for mantano software, but didn't get anything from them, and I afraid they
don't want to support something on custom roms (hope i'm wrong).
I'm running Mantano Reader Premium 2.4.0 under android 4.3 cm 10.2
Thanks a lot!
