I bought a g tablet. I feel close to it given I put in more than 30 hours going through different beta versions of alternate roms trying to get things the way they should be since out of the box it was a piece of crap. Being in canada I had driven to nearest Sears in US to Purchase it. Before the screen calibration fix I had essentially given up the inability to type properly and the horrible viewing angles and Sd card woes had me looking elsewhere.
Having tried the more expensive Galaxy Tab and finding it laggy and flash video unviewble, I decided I needed a Tegra based device. I also felt for my needs 7 inches might be better as I find typing in landscape mode hard with a 10 incher(hmm weird genital reference there LOL). I also feel that for my needs (book reading, surfing video watching, the odd game, and quick reference use) that the smaller form fact might be better given it is lighter and more portable (can fit in coat pocket....)
Heard about the ELocity and saw it available for 100$ less than what ipaid for g tab. so ordered it to my Brother's in Florida as will be there next week. It is already there waiting for me.
Of course since ordering it not having given the g tab back yet I have it working the way I want minus the screen viewing angles which I hate as I cant type on it when lounging unless holding it awkwardly in landscape mode using my thumbs.
Seems the Elocity has much better screen in terms of viewing angles.While lower res, the DPI is in fact the same and conforms to the Android OS max resolution of 800x480 so I suspect most apps will look correct on it. It also appears to come rooted out of the box. The UI layer on it is fast and responsive and flash is there to start. So for those considering a g tablet and don't want to muck around it works much better out of the box.
Seems it is not perfect yet and suffers many of the same issues the G tablet did:
Like the gtablet there is no official android market
Wifi for some seems to not wake up with the device from sleep
Angry birds won't run
All of the above from what I have read seem to be related to drivers and tegra 2 not having the best or newest ones out of the box.
Elocity says a fix is coming on december 24th (wonder if this is similar to what was done by Roebeet et al. with TNT light and Vega N with the performance upgrades form experimental diver pack)
Multitouch which is supposed to be 1+1 (which I believe is what the gtab is) doesn't seem to be enabled properly and is only emulated in software, and as of yet, not very well.
Seems from some things discovered on a different thread that this might be a 2 point multitouch after all.
For some reason there is no Elocity forum yet which I think could impede people coming on and helping development on it (Notion Ink Adam has a forum though there is no device in the wild for another month at least). I suspect given these are both Tegra 2 devices that there might be some parallel things to help.

gtablet Adobe Flash update
Greetings, this may be something and may be nothing.
Just FYI –
I talked to Mike at Viewsonic support on 20101220 3:34p PST.
He advises that Staples had an in store warranty conflict and no manufacturing defect exists with the gtablet. The update scheduled for 20101219 is posted and done so in such a way that some folks see it auto-download with WIFI and some will not for approx 24 to 48 hours.
Mike also advises that the Adobe Flash update IS NOT part of the latest update however he says it is still in the works and will be updated soon.
I am still contemplating whether to return mine or not. I have had it for 27 days and it has been absolutely fabulous and beyond my expectations less the FLASH player.
I need INPUT INPUT INPUT.
Thanks - feel free to email me –

Can't wait
I rooted my wife's HTC Desire since it took forever for Froyo. My phone is a WinMo 6.1 HTC Touch Pro. Love it, but Android is much more user friendly.
I am anti-"any product that starts with lower case i" and I'm looking for a good tab. If the patch comes out on the 24th as promised, I'm ready to pull the trigger.
The price is just right IMHO for this tab. However, depending how dev on this tab progresses after the new update, I may wait to see what's coming at CES.
Unfortunately for my wallet, I'm an instant gratification kind of guy. I can't build my $1600 gaming rig just yet, but this just might tide me over. I'm so tired of my netbook for menial tasks. Video playback sucks.
So... who else is stoked about the A7?
Post Firmware Update
Just ordered my from J&R Music. They had it for 299.99. Once I saw the performance increase with the new update, as well as some tweaks from our freinds at XDA, it was a done deal.
Ordered an 16 Micro SD with it, and I couldn't be more excited. I just sold my netbook, and this will its replacement. The netbook was great for light surfing, Skype, and email. It chugged at everthing else. Intel's GMA graphics on netbooks just suck! Here comes nVidia!
elocity
I just ordered from shopnbc. I used the flexpay option as this option is more pocket friendly for me at the moment. I'm returning my nook color because tomorrow marks the 14th day and won't be returnable after 15 days. The video presentation on that site played angry birds, video and flash on a website without issues. I can't wait till it gets here!

I took a hit for the team... I modded my eLocity to the newest modware; eLocityMod 1.4.1. Now all my downloaded games, and apps work PERFECT. I now have the Google Market as well as the Amazon AppStore. Angry Birds RIO works like a dream ! The only problem I am having with the new Mod is that I can not hot swap USB drives. I got to boot up the device with the USB thumb drive already inserted so that the eLocity will recognize it.
I own Ouya controller and nVidia Shield Tablet but Ouya controller seems to have wrong keymaps, when I launch Portal or Half Life 2 character tends to spin around due to wrong keymaps, is there a correct keymap definitions for Ouya controller to make it work with stock android? I have root access on Shield Tablet.
I've searched forums for it but couldn't find anything relevant to my case.
Thanks.
I've found my answer in that thread;

I'm leaving the thread as it is for future reference.

What do you think of the shield? Thinking of getting one
One of the best tablets I've ever used. It is fast, fluid, powerful and definitely feels like a premium device. I would personally recommend this device to anyone looking for a good tablet worth it's price.
So I ordered one of these beasts of a tablet and will update this post when I get it in in an effort to help and educate.
As you guys know, the Pro model is sporting a 13.3" 2560x1440 IPS display, 8 watt Jbl speakers and sub along with a built in projector all powered by a 9600mAh battery. These features have to be taxing. I figured if we have more input then we can grab an expected average.
Also I highly encourage you guys and gals to create more Yoga threads. Maybe we can snag our own sub forum and really grab some attention. I have been researching the Pro tremendously this week and found myself scouring rather than finding. It is a shame to let something to let something like this that has a high potential just let slip through the cracks.
Got mine for about 3 days. Battery performance seems to be average. I get about 5-6 hrs of screen on time when I'm not using the beamer, mainly using netflix or other video streaming services. I'm really looking forward to the lollipop update to see if it brings improvements. The screen is just amazing for movies. It's a lot of fun.

Has there been mention of a Lollipop update coming to the Tablet 2 Pro? Mine just arrived yesterday, and while the benefits WAY outweigh the cons, the performance is a tad laggy, and I'm guessing Lollipop would ameliorate most of that.
Plex is also super choppy (to the point of not being able to watch anything). XBMC plays everything fine on the local network, but it sucks to know that I can't watch stuff while away from home, since Plex isn't working properly on this tablet. I had the same problem with the Nexus 10, which is why I got rid of it for a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. I thought the Tablet 2 Pro would be a proper step up, but Plex is the MAIN app I use on tablets, so with Plex not working, it's becoming a dealbreaker.
@fridaynext there hasn't been any word on 5.0. Looking at the Lenovo forum, it seems being late ant not fixing new bugs is their thing. Mines coming tomorrow but I might send it back and look elsewhere. The Shield would be good but battery life sucks and N9 has shady build quality. Looks like Xperia might be the way to go..maybe
What kind of standby time are guys getting?

My Yoga Tablet 2 Pro was updated to 5.0.1 this morning. I had it rooted (for 1440p YouTube and fullscreen in TeamViewer), and although it now says 5.0.1, it still has the KitKat animation when I tap multiple times on the version.
Anyway, I'm now going to delete the YouTube app, and see if I can reinstall from the Play Store and get 1440p as a playback option.
Edit: My bad - I believe it just says 5.0.1 because I changed build.prop. Not sure what the update was, that was applied today.
hello all I just got mine today and loving it a lot , can anyone please send me the link to root this bad boy and as well where can I get the update to lollipop ? as well I have a question , how long dose it take to charge? is it better not to use the tablet while its charging? do it take longer time then? I think its taking ages ,and I am about to go back to the store to change it to another one? please help ,thank you
so i've had my 16gb nvidia shield with a 64gb memory card for about 6 months now but used id sparingly. is there a FAQ that can explain the things that can be done to the shield tv? i'm pretty new to the whole rooting since i've been out of the android scene for a while. any help is appreciated.
one of the main things i'lm looking to use the shield tv for is for kodi, streaming my sling box (is there a slingplayer app?), as well as some gaming.
thanks for your time.
By all means root if you want to, but Kodi and gaming are both things that the Shield TV excels at OOTB, no modification required. I don't use Sling but if I remember correctly there were people who were sideloading the slingplayer app with success a few months ago. No idea if Sling shut that down or if it still works.
Take a look on Youtube. Enough people with info about apps and games.
You've had it 6 months an yet you know nothing about it? Maybe try reading before making a pointless thread
