Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.
Assuming you are running unrooted device & stock/OEM ROM's - correct?
Best of luck !
Oh, OK, thanks! the device is rooted( z4root method, OK in 1st chance, no problems) and the Fw is an original upgrade from viewsonic....

Ok so lastnight I was messing with my G Tab and doing normal stuff.. Nothing Biggie. I had put the GTABCOMB 3.3 b1.1 awhile back (month ago) and have been enjoying it just fine. Lastnight I turned off my Gtab and today when I turned on it goes throught the Viewsonic "Birds" to the first "Android" load and cuts off and back on and cycles back through. Will not go past.. I wiped everything and reinstalled GTABCOMB 3.3 but it still does same thing. Suggestions?? HELP?? Im sorry if this is somewhere within the threads but figured I could get quicker response by posting.. Thanks for your help!!
why is this is the dev section it is a question
I did repost in Q&A thread. Sorry. I havent posted much on here wasnt sure what I needed to do to be honest..

I saw a symptom like that, and it turns out my partitions had gotten corrupted. I got through it by repartitioning and reflashing.
I recently purchased 2 touchpads, 1 one for me and 1 for my wife. Last night, my wife's Touchpad died and it will no longer work. It has been stuck in an endless boot loop since last night. The HP logo pops then the screen turns off and it just repeats that cycle over and over and over and over...
I am pretty techie but am brand spanking new to webOS. I have tried just about everything I could think of but nothing works. Can anyone out there help??
I would like to fix this myself and not have to send it to HP if possible.
can you list what you have tried?
webOS doctor is useful.
I've tried to reset (power and center button). I've tried to Doctor it. I've tried to do whatever combination of buttons I can think of. I've tried just using the charger and resetting. There is NOTHING that will work.
See if any of these methods help. Loading kernel over novacom helped me when I was tinkering.

Which kernel are you talking about?

Booting the uImage from webOS tar. Have to explore quite a bit for it.
So I have to set up the palm SDK first?

...what does the guide say?
I've been running the GHarmony ICS ROMs for a while, and have really been loving the 1.5 release. Super excited to try 1.6, but no matter what I do, it won't boot past the birds. (Trust me, I mean NO MATTER WHAT - I've tried everything anyone suggested anywhere that I could find, I asked anyone that would give me any suggestions. Nothing has worked.)
I'm not sure if it's some abnormality in my hardware or the changes in the ROM - I was hoping maybe to get some advice or at least commiseration here...
Is anyone else using this ROM?
If so, is anyone else having this problem?
if so if so, has anyone figured out a workaround or a fix?
I could switch to a different ROM (most others have worked with no problem) but in my experience, this is the best ICS I've used on this tablet...
I'm in the exact same boat.
I had been using flashback for the past few months and loving it. However over the last few weeks, it had gotten to a point where I felt like playing around with what is out there and decided to move to g-harmony.
After running the nvflash file and installing (which work perfectly) the most i can get is a black screen after the birds that just sits there and does nothing.
I just reinstalled flashback with no problem at all on the gtablet.
Really looking forward to using g-harmony but need help.
Can you get any version of GHarmony to work? What process did you follow to nvflash and do your install?
I was able to get earlier versions (pre-1.6) by following the raywaldo instructions first (the "nvflash for dummies" ones, but they were recommended to move to an ICS ROM), and they went on perfectly, no problems.

I have not. However, point me to 1.5 and i'll give it a shot.
I did just give 120 a shot however and got excited because the birds were flashing more than before, but same results, a black screen going nowhere.
Yeah, I'd like to know if your problem is with all of t hem, or just w/ the latest (like mine).
I can't include an external link here, so check your PM - I'll send it there.

Sorry, looks like mine is a different issue. Just puts me in an endless reboot to the birds stage. I tried nvflashing the 250 mb again. I even tried the 300mb on raywaldo and still, the same result.
And even though i didnt want to go to the drh rom, i gave it a shot to see what would happen there. Same result, just a loop through the birds and then the black screen making it look like something is loading but nothing is happening.
Went back and installed flashback again, no problems at all. Booted up perfectly the first time.
So GHarmony 1.5 just gives you the endless reboot to the birds? If so, that's what I get. The birds, then a quick flash, then back to the birds.
The 300MB version didn't help me either. Neither did any of the diagnostic techniques anyone suggested anywhere.
I did get stuck in a loop last night where I went from the birds to a black screen, after I nvflashed something. I was able to get out of it after nvflashing something different. It looked just like APX mode, except it didn't respond to commands.

So i had gotten excited. After getting flashback running, i decided to download all of the g-harmony files again and give it another go. Figured something happened with the download of the files.
Run nvflash again, wipe cache, reboot into tnt, worked great.
Fresh download of 1.6, installed no problems at all.
Power off.
Birds show up for about 2-3 seconds and then just a black screen. Not apx mode since you can tell the screen is still on, but just blackness on the screen.
So similar, but not quite the same as what I'm getting. I don't know what the problem is, It's weirdest that there's no hint of a problem anywhere. All the installs go fine, the tablet will boot before I install the ROM or after I restore it back, and I even checked all my partitions and made sure they're the same size, with no bad blocks (that I could find) or anything else that might gum things up.
I haven't seen anything else in the topic about the ROM itself that suggests others are having issues, so I don't really know what a next step should be.
