Anybody? Nobody has Galaxy Tab model M180S firmware? Unbelievable...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Brite1:
Sorry to hear about you tablet. I know that somebody must know....but...if they don't read the post/thread...they won't know to answer unless they have a problem and go looking for an answer.

As for my problem, I am still waiting for it to get to the Samsung Repair Centre in the U.K. I paid $147.00 for two tablets to go by worldwide expedited shipping. Long story short....UPS says it is customs/Samsung says they are waiting on paperwork from UPS...etc....I am going to try to call tomorrow and see what is going on. If, it does get fixed....BIG HOPE..here....I will let you know as one of my phones/tablets came from Hong Kong....Chinese language...Korean Apps....but it is still a gt-p1000 model.

One option.....did you try and register your tablet at the Samsung.com/uk site? If you do, then you can select your model from the pull-down....if it isn't listed...put full details into the email and see what type of response that you get. I know that depending on what options you choose....you will have it sent to a different service centre which may be able to fix it for you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
1Brite1: i've tried to register my tablet on Samsung.com and .co.uk, but in the Registration Page when i enter Model numbere: SHW-M180S it says "No Data" or something like that. They also haven't answered to my emails...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
Check your inbox too :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
Well, thanks to hussam86 i found some Nakyup-M180S-Froyo-DK20-rooting.tar on the web... but before trying to updated (after beeing JTAG-ed so that Odin can see the phone - although the Galaxy Tab doesn't display anything), i want to make sure i am flashing the right files.

So, inside the .tar i have the following files:

factoryfs.rfs - 382MB

modem.bin - 16MB

zImage - 4.7MB

What's the right way to flash them with Odin? What .pit file should i use?

I am thinking factoryfs.rfs is the PDA, modem.bin is the PHONE, but what should i do with zImage?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
Hmm, i think i figured out i don't have to extract the .tar... Just put it in PDA with Odin and flashing it directly, not the inside files.

Unfortunatelly, it starts... flashes modem.bin, then zImage, and then it says "FAIL!". Do i need a Pit file or select extra options in Odin ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
As nobody wants to help... i'll answer myself: YES, I need the .pit file for M180S, otherwise the flash file itself is uselss... So, anybody has the .pit file for SHW-M180S ? :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
Seems like finding the right .pit file for SHW-M180S is a "mission impossible". I am really dissapointed by Samsung support. I will probably never buy a Samsung tablet ever again...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
Bump! Maybe somebody got more luck than i did...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruikstring:

Samsung Tab M180s firmware

Hi, can you also help me find the FW Nakyup-M180S-Froyo-DK20-rooting.tar as this is the file i need. Its not available for download over the internet. My Tab has been Jtagged and now only shows AnyCall logo...Plz plz plz help me infinding this source. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
The Galaxy Tab M180S is still dead after 6 months of asking all over the web... been at 3 mobile services... It's an extra point for me to NOT ever buy a Samsung product!

P.S. The price oficial Samsung service asked to repair it costed arround 20 USD less than a new tablet is!!! They must be crazy. Thanks god i have iPad2!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aoi_hikari:
Do not blame Samsung for your ignorance to flash firmware that is not suitable for your GTab through odin and without proper knowledge, you void the warranty and it is your own fault not dump the system for backup before flashing...

You can try email Nakyup for the stock firmware, because you need full stock firmware Froyo DK20, not only the pit file, before flashing Nakyup-M180S-Froyo-DK20-rooting.tar...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkY:
I think you missunderstood (or missread) the whole problem. SAMSUNG is the ONLY one to be blamed, as the Tab crashed after updating an OFICIAL UPDATE, using the OFICIAL SOFTWARE. So yes, i blame them and nobody else. This never happened to me on any of my ipods, ipads and iphone's...

I don't know who Nakyup is, so please point in the right direction.

By now i am in the imposibility to flash the device anyway, as when it starts, the battery is already empty. And i can't charge it because when i plug the power cord in, the flash led will stay on forever, consuming more power than the battery recharges (and in a few minutes i am afraid it will simply melt the device - it's too hot!). Talking about Samsung way to unbrick things...

[HTC Inspire 4G] Chowlz:
I thought that the Inspire supported .avi.... Am I wrong? I don't know much about media files, but I know that they generally have a video and a audio stream. Some of my .avi files are standard def videos but don't play. Some have .ac3 audio and from what I looked up, it's not supported (at least for CM7). Okay, that much I figured out, but other videos with different audio streams don't work either. Usually, the video stream is xvid or dvix (that's what Gspot says at least).

P.S. Tried Rock player (both the lite version in the marketplace and the optimized arm7 version online), but the frame rate still seems bad (17-25fps).

Any ideas? Or am I wrong thinking that the Inspire supports avi?
[HTC Inspire 4G] freekquency:
Yea I saw a couple of "mouths" claming it supported .avi a few weeks back.

I have had no luck personally with avi that is placed on the SD. However if you are in a position to stream from windows it works fine. I duno if we are both missing something hahaha but yea no go on a couple of .avi files i tried....

maybe its a sampling / BR thing.(?)

I see you are having "streaming" problems. I ve had no problem streaming except on some avi's the sound/picture wont sync no matter what i do. Sorry i missed the streaming part of your post. my bad.

the lack of a proper file explorer and video player are the only two things that suck so far... I can live with that.

Try arcMedia or VPlayer Advance from market. It's free.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtugg:
So I've noticed that wifi prevents my device from sleeping thus going through battery much faster than it should. According to spare parts, the time without sleeping with wifi on is usually around 70% no matter the screen on time. With wifi off, the time without sleeping is close to the screen on time.

Does this happen to anybody else? Anybody know why this is or if there is anything that can be done about it? I suppose it is not such a big deal, I can just leave it off and only turn on when needed and I am definitely glad I figured out what it was that kept my device from sleeping. But if anybody knows why this happen and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
Isn't there a setting which allows wifi to sleep under menu--advanced? I turned it to always on under 2.1 Eclair because it never seemed to wake up fast enough, but maybe under Froyo it's better.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
WiFi sleep setting should always be set to "Never" on the Epic. Any other setting is known to cause system sleep issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtugg:
That is what mine is set to.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dmiles053:
FIRST!

Nice work btw. cant wait to have a complete recovery (clockwork)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tianqi:
For real?

In that case... Awesome
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Fist to the OP thank you for this....just thought Id add some more info from the source site

Second edited due to development success on this Awesome work though do look into adb sbf withing the search function of the development thread and learn about them before using this so you have a way to go back

Removed the apk upload from this post the OP has been working and updating his progress XD and the download speeds much better than it was before XD

Fourth Added pics taken from the source posting... its all Chinese literally

The below is the translated text via Google of the source posting

Posts by R editor masters at 2011-4-2 18:45

4 days ago I finally got this I heard a long time Atrix 4G, spent three days free time get the Recovery. And then spent one day free time a person considered to be more integration of the perfect ROM, hope you like it. The machine got my brother to feel that defy ah ~! Ha. Good. Machine performance very good, no loss is dual-core!

Haha, A4 custom Recovery Coming! No way in the use of other forums online updates, online updates will be a lot of messy problems occur. May not fully updated!

Installation:

Root for your cell phone first, root method see: http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html

Apk installed then install the normal recovery;

Prompted the request su permission.

Then prompted to install success

Then ok. For details, please refer to the software tips.

Usage:

Switched off the phone into the AC charger, and then the phone will enter Recovery mode!

Keys Description:

Volume up and down switch, the power button to confirm

That said if this recovery even crashes you should be able to get to rsd mode and revert back to which ever base sbf you were using XD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tenfar:
Thanks for you posting and attached the apk file. the original source is post by me for china users. this recovery include two languages. English and Chinese,because i am a Chinese. you can find a flashable rom in here.

http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html

it's also for chinese users. the recovery supports amend and edify scripts.because it's based on clockworkmod 2.5.1.8!　only the usb is not working.i didnt find out how to make the usb function work .

other function including backup is work. there is one think that the system partition is mounted when you enter the recovery. you can not umount it.

i will try my best to fix those bugs. if any one would like to help me.please let me know. thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
Jesus man, dont quote all thos pictuses! lol. Edited ;). Good work btw.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Sweet okay lets get that Source for the ROM posted have you been able to test it yet? Im already going to download and mirror should have it ready in a few minutes still please confirm the RSD functionality of this recovery that is critical before we get everything posted here last we need is bricked or unrevertable Atrixs

Update RSD works XD jic
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Anyone test yet?

Sent from Motorola Atrix on TELUS.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
i would like to test it, but im not sure if rsd will work afterwards to reflash, since the op says usb is not working so, hmmm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Same, I'd want a way to make sure I could restore if something went wrong.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tenfar:
it's a bootstrap recovery, it will not infact your phones rsd functionality. and you can use voldown + power button for more functions ,but i did figure out what those function are.

i tested it many times i cant even count it. it takes me so many flash to get a working recovery....! the last time i trying to port the clock work mod to defy , my defy is bricked~~ :)

:rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Just a few questions,

From what I understand this isn't a full recovery, but will it allow us to flash roms?

Thanks for all the work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
Yes. But only roms based on original shipped versions. Custom roms like CM are not possible with bootstrap recovery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ZoinksS2k:
Do backup/restore functions work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
Just a confirmation. The installation was very easy. I had to plug in ac adapter to boot into CWM recovery. I made a successful backup through recovery. If anyone is not familiar with CWM recovery, you use vol up/down buttons to go through menus and power button to select. The backup is created in external sdcard. This looks good so far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
Haven't tried restore but backup went fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ZoinksS2k:
Trying in a bit.

If we can install packages, if only themes and the like, I'll be happy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitewalker033:
Nice job will test futher later on
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
Agree. Even if this is not a full on recovery, we can at least do away with those scripts now.
[myTouch 4G General] irrompible:
This may sound weird but I'm having an issue with my battery reading 100% for too long. I was on CM7 RC2 and then RC4 and the battery percent would drop evenly. I leave the phone on over night because I'm on call 24/7 at work and in the morning the battery would read around 93% with RC2 or RC4.

I went back to the stock rom last night because the navigation on those two RC's is a bit messed up and I noticed that my phone in the morning was still reading 100% battery.

The problem with this is, I know it's obviously not fully charged, but the green light still comes on right away when plugged in because I guess it thinks it's fully charged. Is there anyway to get an even battery drop with the stock rom?
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Your battery stats are a little off, that's all. There are posts all over xda on how to recondition and recalibrate your battery. Just find a good guide and follow it, you'll be back to normal in no time.
[myTouch 4G General] irrompible:
Thanks for the info! What I could find said to charge to full, delete battery stats and then run until the phone turned off by itself and then charge to full again. I'm currently doing that now so hopefully I'll noticed a difference.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
I've read that there is a possibility letting it die completely damages the battery (something about crystals forming). I usually just run it to 1% just in case the above is true, but other than that you got it. I would have told you, but I'd just state steps, this way hopefully you got a little extra info from people with more knowledge than myself.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flpgdt:
So there I was, happily reading reviews about Google's/Samsumg Nexus S building my judgement whether to buy it or not after my Nexus 1 got stolen. Happily enough there were very few posts on issues with the phone and most reviews would state quite triumph for Samsumg for it's gorgeous screen and for finally getting rid of it's dreaded GPS bummer.

Decision made and finally got my own brand new NS. In general terms, the phone is pretty smooth, very responsive - haven't seem an android phone this smooth in a while. In general lines I'm pretty happy with it. However, there are two issues which are bugging a lot: the WiFi and the GPS. Since I've read these reviews I mention in the beginning I'm not too sure whether they design flaws or just I got (un)lucky with this one.

My GPS is definitely crap. I have that "GPS test app" and even when it has like 7 satellites in sight it still wont manage to get a lock as quick (if any) as other phones I've been comparing it. E.g. And old HTC Magic sitting next to my NS got a lock in like, 5 seconds while mine took almost 20 - then lost it. Also, after acquiring the lock, it has an average of 20-30 meters error while the HTCs and Nokias are like pin-point 5m<.

As for the WiFi, I'm not sure if is just a display issue or if the reception is really bad, but being in the same room as the router, about 4 meters away, the phone shows two strength bars only. I figure that the reception could be just fine and the display could be just bad parametrized so I've got the "WiFi Analyser" app it says my signal is at -78dBm (which with a little googling apparently means pretty weak).

What do you guys say? Are those known issues? Are there Fixes? Should I send it back?

I just reaaaaly don't want to root it get custom Roms and try and try.. This thing is brand new, should work as it is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Major Clod:
Compared to my HTC Desire the NS GPS takes quite a long time to establish lock - the desire is within a couple of seconds - the NS takes 30-60 seconds.

The NS compass is terrible - there are quite a few posts on this.

All of this on stock 2.3.3 - haven't tried any custom roms or kernels yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
NS GPS & WiFi are fine. Never had any problems... even on stock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Nope, don't have problems. When I first got it, it took about 30 seconds to get a lock inside my house (w/ wifi off) from a cold start. Ever since, it took less than 10 seconds.

Wifi also isn't an issue with me. Although the amount of bars it shows is weird, but when I get in my car (signal going through multiple walls), I still get one bar left and works fine (not fast connection, but still get some).

[XPERIA X8 General] noonecanhide:
Hello,

i am sorry if this is Spam. Personally, i have a X10, my GF has a X8 running the Stock 2.1 ROM from SE. She is very unhappy with the Stock ROM, because it lags and so on.

Is there a custom rom with Android 2.1/2.2/2.3 which is stable, fast (faster than stock) and can use all features of the X8 (hw-camera e.g.)

Any recommendations ?
[XPERIA X8 General] ponanovn:
MiniCM has FM, Camera, Videocam... and it is stable

there is 2.3 roms too but they do not have FM and only VGA camera.
[XPERIA X8 General] aldee_s:
the same as above, i recommend using the latest miniCM, as its the most stable custom ROM right now, with most working features
[XPERIA X8 General] Sully.E:
I think BehradGH MTL Rom Series (based on 2.1.1) is good too
[XPERIA X8 General] stevicc:
i´m using racht´s floyo 0,15 and its almost bugless.

minicm stable atm :D
[XPERIA X8 General] andrasandhi:
floyo 0.15 hackdroid from ratch work,almost everything,less reboot after installed apps but after reboot its working nice

waiting for stable cm7 2.3.3 j's / ratch's
[XPERIA X8 General] killmyself:
I had miniCM and now 2.3.3 v007 from jerpelea and I think 007 is more stable than miniCM but it has not so much features like fm radio and more working games.
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Actually i think that the best 2.2 rom is minicm, but racht is working on 2.3 and it's promising..
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
I was using v006 and launcherpro was awfuly laggy.
[XPERIA X8 General] noonecanhide:
Thanks for your recommandations. I'll give minicm a try :-)

And i'll wait for rachts 2.3.3 or j's (running on my x10)
[XPERIA X8 General] WARR10r:
For now miniCM has most number of working things. Now I'm using it (I need fm and cam). But I hope soon Racht and Jerpelea will make full working 2.3.3 for us :-)
[XPERIA X8 General] Case87:
In my opinion for now the most stable and with almost all fetures working is MiniCM
[XPERIA X8 General] Aflyingdot:
Hey folks. newbie here. Been an Android user for around three month, and after the news that S.E will not be updating the X8 beyond 2.1 i've decided to take the plunge and root.

Probably a silly question but i'm new to all this..
