Guy's I'm really sorry, first off. As a senior member I should know better than to start a new thread w/o being a developer or anything. But I'm getting a Touch Pro tomorrow (had a Titan before..but it broke- insurance claimed it).
In any case, I was wondering what ROM would best fit the Touch Pro- in terms of memory wise. I don't like slow phones and I was wondering if there's a ROM that's totally stripped and doesn't have unnecessary things.
Any suggestions?
Sorry once again!
try any. seriously, the extra ram in this thing makes even the slowest roms feel fast. just have a play around with different ones and see what you like. even the stock rom felt super fast when i bought this thing...
I am trying to track down battery replacements for the Viewsonic G Tablet; and yes I did go through all of the threads to see if this information has already been posted elsewhere.
I would like to have the information handy in case mine decide to crap out. Has anyone been able to find a source, part number or anything on this subject?
Wasnt aware that the battery was exchangable.
You will have to open the case and remove/replace it yourself or send it in to viewsonic. I would just prefer to replace it myself...
Any leads on this would be great... I would love to have the option to do this myself so I wouldn't have to bring my Gtab back to stock and ship it to Viewsonic.
Is there someone out there willing to open their tab and get numbers off the battery to research this?
Someone has done a tear down, I think you would need to find out what the make/model of the battery is. Once that is done, you shouldn't have a problem sourcing one.
Pictures of the inside of the gtablet here:

Here are two pics, battery and label. I wonder if there is a source which sells this battery? My tab won't charge up and I'm thinking it could be the battery.
Does anybody know the price on a new Battery ??

I can't figure out where to get one, much less the cost.

How old is you gTab? Seem really odd that it would already have killed the battery... likely a hardware failure of some sort
Going to call Viewsonic tomorrow and see how much one is going to be.

I bought it from woot this year... I was thinking a bad battery, perhaps, although hardware failure is a possibility.
The tablet works fine if the charger is plugged in.
raven, I'm going to try that too but I'm not very hopeful that they can help.
I may also go down to the battery store and see if they can make one.
Can you give me the measurements? In inches or milimeter. I am actually going to take mine apart tonight, you can get single cell lipo batteries in about any configuration imaginable. I was just looking at thin cells in 10K mah it would take a couple days to charge but would last a couple on a charge also. The main thing to be accurate on would be thickness I would think.
I've already put mine back together, sorry.
I called up Viewsonic and they want me to send in the tablet so they can look at it. And they said if they found something wrong they would replace the tablet free of charge. lol
Ha! They said the same thing to me, I mailed it yesterday.
Thats awesome, but I would prefer being able to just purchase parts if I could. What would be crazy if they sent you the new dual boot version instead.
There is a guy (rosco_pc) who is in China and had gotten some other gTab parts over there; I asked him if he'd seen the battery anywhere. He checked with the suppliers he used and said he wasn't able to locate one.
He gave me these characters to use in a search:
万利达电池
Part of that is "Malata" and part of it is "battery" (IIRC). Malata makes a lot of electronics, so sifting through the search results from that are tiring. But you could try it.
I found a wholesaler who had one very close to ours, but you had to buy 1000 at a time.

in last 2 years i owned bold 9700, HD2 and now sensation.
unfortunately while trying to clean dust out of the screen i damaged it it was already dropped and leaking on the corner and i separated it even more.
i havent been up to date on cell phones for last year or so
and asking your advice because i do not want to make same mistake like buying this stupid sensation phone with its issues
(camera red color and dust under screen etc)
can anyone that knows more than me about the following phones give me a quick list of major defects that i should look for ?
im planning to get the new phone this saturday and dont have any time to do research since im pretty busy at work..
here are the phones from tmobile that i was eyeballing today.
1 htc amaze how well is it built looked a bit heavy
2 tmo G2X
3 samsung exhibit 2
4 samsung galaxy s2 screen is big but resolution is not so big
can someone post pictures from following phones also? unless theres a thread with pictures i want to see quality the camera on those.
I experienced the "dust under the screen" issue with the MT4G, which I loved, but the dust made me exchange the phone 5 times
I can tell you Samsung phones don't have that problem because they fuse the screen so nothing can get it.. a HUGE plus to me
The T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had been the best phone I have ever owned by far.. and the screen outclasses anything on the market IMO.. I've held my phone next to the iPhone 4S, both playing Cut the Rope, and it almost made my friend throw his phone because he was sure the iPhone had the best screen.. it wasn't even close, the colors, the blacks, everything was so much cleaner on the S2
You will hear complaints about every phone out there, including the S2, but I promise you won't be disappointed, I wouldn't trade this phone for the new Nexus, iPhone, nada
Galaxy S2 all the way.
Have you considered the Samsung Galaxy Note? I just got it one month ago - and I just think its a unique device - works really well as a phone and a tablet, which many people doubted, s pen with s memo allows me to scribble when I am feeling creative/have ideas which are not meant just for typing etc. I do hope they bring ICS to it, which is optimized and not slowed down. You could consider this as well. I know people have S2 and are happy with it, but somehow I thought Note would make the owner feel extra special Hope this helps?
would be nice but its not available through T-mobile.
No offence m8 but you really need to go and put some effort into this one yourself. Its kind of silly to ask people who you don't know and who don't know you to decide which phone is right for you.
You need to go google this sh*t.
get a list of the phones spec.
find 2-3 review of each one and read it all.
then once you have an idea of the difference.
Cross ref what you've found out with whats
1:Essential
2:important
3:Favoured
4:a bonus feature
Than it will become very clear which one is best for you.
Asking on a forum is just plain lazy, and likely to leave you open to other peoples all too common 'mine rewls' mentality, you need to answer this one yourself m8.
no offence m8 but i didnt have time to do any of that, usually i do research but i found out about the sale a day before it so thanks for advice broski.
i listed the phones i was interested in and thats about how much time i had is to check the specs on the phones available through tmobile. other than that i didnt have time to go around forums and dig through 1000s of BS useless posts to try to locate the defects and shortcomings of every phone...
but unfortunately i ended up not upgrading anyting cuz its not worth it.
Whaaaa? Its always a good time to upgrade :]

the recent tmobile "promotion" was a big fail.
i went to the store and was told that there will be no change in my plan. and i get a the money back once i send the rebate.
to find out that i still have to pay full price for the phone over 20 month period...
that is not a damn promotion its a trick..
why the hell would anyone do that.
you get stuck with this company for 2 years AND you still have to pay full price on the phone.
i can walk in any day and buy that phone with my credit card instead and make payments on it and not have to be binded by 2 year contract...

lol .......... if you'd actually bothered to try it you'd have found everything in a couple of hours max!!!
Whats better spending some time solving your own procurement issues. After all you know what you need want and desire better than anyone else.
OR
Begging the opinions of other people who don't know you, and whos soundness of advice you have no idea about on a website.
Methinks your method indicates how committed to the venture you where, the outcome speaks volumes
cool thanks lol one person actually tried to help.
what did you not understand i didnt have time to do any research past what little searching i did...

ROFLOL ......... yeah but you had plenty of time to wait 5 days whilst you expected others to do your legwork for you
Don't wanna make this personal but your just not getting it
"One person helped"?? No m8 one person tossed you a bone ...... since you where begging, probably just bigging up whatever he owns. Everyone else's response (lack of, should tell you a lot about attitudes to posts like this. Where OP clearly states "I can't be arsed doing what i'd like you chumps to do for me".
Best advice you got was from me, your best at deciding what you need not someone else. Amazes me anyone is so lazy that they would rather take dubious advice from a forum than spend 2-3 hours educating themselves.
How old are you ......... seriously you a teen ???
Galaxy s 2 is good screen is great and lots of roms for it.
ROFLOL BRAH. because sale is over... dont need your help stop helping...
i was hoping that someone could throw some details about the phones i listed, you cant read good can you?.
your advice was not worth any more than a piece of doog poop on a sidewalk.
now that i had more time i did some more research and know more about the phones. but you obviously do not get it. and just have to have the last word even if its not relaed to the topic...
u know if soemone needs help quick i give them an answer and then we figure out if he was lazy or not...
i hope your car breaks down and you go and ask on some automotive forums for help and get same responce as you gave me "its your car you should know whats best for it BRAH!!!"
but maybe you still dont get it..
i found out about the sale a day before the sale. you follow?
i work all day.. still with me?
i was busy in teh evening and couldnt do much research. still there?
next day i was working as well and didnt have time to sit research on teh internets instead of working. after work i went to the tmobile store...
i asked if someone could give me a quick rundown of the common problems of the phones i listed... nothing more.
because i dont know how much clearer i can state my question.
"can anyone that knows more than me about the following phones give me a quick list of major defects "
anyway this thread can be deleted since it turned into useless thread.
Well thats what happens when you post a useless question.

Until we get more in stock, there is a vendor in Hongkong selling them very cheaply on ebay.
Shipping is free but takes 2-3 weeks from China. The cables do work, we bought one to test and compare to ours, but are not full 5 pin cables and are not fully shielded. They are also only 2.5 ft. Opposed to 6 ft. I wish they were widely available and cheap as they should be for such a simple but critically valuable tool, but they arent. As more devices with non removable batteries become increasingly prevalent, perhaps that will change.

But the very first thing you need to do is you need to know chinese
Go into your local wireless store and ask if they have an extra one they can give you or sell. Thats what I did and got it for free.
Phone so sharp, I sliced myself.
Ye i seen the ebay 1 but its more like 5-6weeks as they wait for 3 business days to make sure payment clears then 20-25 working days for uk deliv. still ordered but tbh im pretty impatient. Hence if any 1 was able to make me a working 1/sell me theirs asap n wer from uk i wud defo buy n pay more!
Also wireless store? Sorry from uk so what store should i look out for? or am i just being a blonde here n that is in the uk? Lol
Appreciate the responses!! Thanx guys

I too am on the hunt for one of these cables... I live in Canada, but have a PO box in Blaine Wa, if you would be kind enough to lend it to me, I would pay for shipping back to you with insurance and a tracking number, I am willing to pay a rental fee if you want it.
Once I get the cable, I could refund the cost of a fed ex or USPS express envelope to you via paypal... we could use the traders feedback as an incentive...

Camera is decent. Little dull and blurry on details otherwise good. Audio is great. Many roms but it still ain't Galaxy SIII.
Will run all the apps and games you want but I suggest since you in China just a Xiaomi MI3 or such..:good:
They like things of other countries there. It makes them feel cool.
If you can get an E970 for a good price, do it.
It's not the best phone you'll ever use, but it REALLY surprised me with how much I like it.
In agreeance with NHS2002 and OMGMatrix.
optimusv45 sounds like he has a lil contempt for the Chinese, just got in a wreck with a Mitsubishi, is a comedian, bored, or all of the above. I post **** like that cuz I like bein the center of attention and the "funny guy"
Id be stoked to be fired back at with a reply of " no ****, I am like you, Im a funny guy!" from 45. seein as how we all bleed the same shade of RED..
Personaly satisfied with everything about this phone except its ridgidity. Do not drop it on any of its corners from any height , lol, seriously! Could also be a little thicker , but you can remedy that with the right case for it.
But if you want a phone that bounces back from 10000 flashes like a Boss, good choice. JTAG will fix what u cant. Performance is good with the right ROM Kernel combo, would love to see more ROMS n Kernels for it. But cant cry about that cuz Ive only now played around with porting and Nexus alternatives.
Want a Rom and your able to figure it out or be all ears when someone like our devs here get on IRC with you.... Get on with your badself. that would be a win win for G Devness all together. Ive been able to be pretty fearless with this phone as long as I don't drop it.
I dropped it tons of times.... not a scratch. All thanks to the el cheapo TPU case I ordered from China. Its amazing phone but camera and display by a bit leave me wanting... Also miss the FM and OTG from Galaxy S3

Overall it's a great phone. When I got it, it was turning heads: "What phone is that? It looks beautiful." The camera is not as good as some, but I rarely use that.
I'm very pleased that I got an LG phone. I will definitely buy another LG phone next time I need one -- even if it's a Google Nexus branded (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, maybe Nexus 6 )
