[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updesign:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Nexus S

Android version 2.3.3

Baseband version I9023XXKB3

I would like to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with the phone using my USB cable and I am having a problem as Samsung Kies doesn’t recognize my phone.

Is there any other software for Nexus S or do I have to install some different drivers?

I am using Windows 7.

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
sync your outlook to Gmail account

then sync the phone to Gmail

it is a Google phone, it is a pure Google experience, not friendly bridge to Microsoft / Outlook

you will need this https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updesign:
Thanks for the link. I will try to do this, as I have a company shared Outlook Calendar, so all my Coworkers can put my meetings into it.

I have to have the option to select which calendar to Sync as I am not using the main Outlook calendar.

Will report later if it works, as I am currently out of office. Thanks so far.

that's for Exchange server sync, not outlook

unless that's what they OP is trying to do
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galvic:
Nexus is Google device though Samsung is the manufacturer, hence Samsung kies will not support Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
It all depends on how things are configured. My company uses google enterprise, so we have access to activesync on our google mail. We also use the apps syncronization tool to keep outlook perfectly sync'd with gmail.

So in some cases, this would be a good solution to sync everything.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
did you login with your gmail account on the plug in settings?

either that or it needs Admin permission in your local machine, to enable the plugin in outlook (insufficient privileges or system policies in windows)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updesign:
Yes, I loged in with my gmail account and the msg came out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updesign:
I guess I will need a custom software like this one:

gSyncit

Is there any free program like that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcinci:
I use outlook calendar sync with google calendar and the nexus calendar. Works very fine. You will need, on the computer where you have outlook,na little program from google to help syncing. Search on google help, its all in there!:)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updesign:
Yes I know about that one, but it syncs the default calendar only. I have a company shared calendar listed under the default calendar and the software from google doesn't allow to select "sub-folders". :/
[EVO 4G General] RKnight1983:
I droped my EVO yesterday and the screen literally shattered worse then I have ever seen a phone shatter, so I called Assurion to see what needed to be done and by informed me that it would be $100 and there was a 2 week back order before I could get a new "refurbished" device. I than tried going to a few different Sprint Service Repair centers in the area and thy all told me that since the crack was more that a single 2" crack it was to be presumed physically damaged and I hadto go through Assurion. I tried 1 last place this morning and the tech was nice and generous enough to swap out the entire screen housing. I am however stuck with a device that is not recognizing my SD card. I have tried different memory cards, tried formatting the existing memory card and still nothing. I put he SD card in the computer and the computer recognized the SD card no problem. The tech used the speech that it might be the fact that I am rooted and running non stock software and that I might just have to reinstall he software or try a hard reset. I am hoping someone here has some advice from personal experience on how to get my problem resolved.
[EVO 4G General] RKnight1983:
Ok turned out to be a weird problem that is now resolved. I went back onto Sprint and I think it might have just been loose contacts connecting the SD slot.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msabiransari:
Hi,

I am a new poster and I apologies If I am starting a duplicate thread here. I hope someone will help me on this great forum.

Here is what I did,

1. Installed CWM and flashed TnT Lite.

2. Tablet went into boot loop after restart.

3. Had to use nvflash which restored stock.

4. Copied CWM files again (wanted to give Vega ROM a try) and shutdown the tablet.

Now it is not coming up no matter what I do. I saw battery was 50% remaining and it was also charging when I was doing the flash.

It is completely Dead. Do I have to HARD-RESET ?

Cheers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgstan:
I've recently switched from TNT Lite to Vegan in an effort to be able to set up reliable morning alarms. I'm trying to use AppAlarm to start Pandora, so I can wake to a random song.

However, every time Pandora starts now, I get a popup warning me about excess data usage. I don't remember getting that popup on TNT Lite, save for the first time I started the app. This popup prevents Pandora from playing because you have to click "OK" before it will proceed.

I've tried a couple of versions of the app, 1.4.1 and now 1.5.3 with the same result. Does anyone know of a any way to disable this warning? It's ridiculous.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphtrent:
there should be a checkbox under the warning that says to disable this message. This is what I get on my android phone. I will assume the same is available for the tab. Just click the checkbox and click continue.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgstan:
JHC - Mine doesn't look like that, because I'm typically using the tab in landscape mode. The popup is cut off before you can see the checkbox. Lo and behold, I can scroll down in the popup and I see the checkbox.

I shoulda been able to figure this one out myself. Thanks for your help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphtrent:
No problem!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssummerlin:
Amazing. Thanks. This is a good find. I should have figured it out also.

Is this with sense 3.0

Sent from my HTC Legend
[HTC Wildfire S] tobbeson:
no its just updated to ruu and this is the **** thats coming with the phone

but we could maybe get htc hub to work on our legends
[HTC Wildfire S] Pharaohnough:
It will come with Sense 2.1

HTC said earlier that only newer, high-end devices will have Sense 3.0 because of hardware requirements so I'm guessing this does not include the Wildfire S because it's not really an upper range device. HTC said, "due to Sense's hardware requirements, only our newest devices (Flyer, EVO 3D, Sensation) will be able to support it."

This rom is better than 1.33.401.2 because that rom has a bug which redownloads the last thing you downloaded everytime you reboot, So this rom is the best atm.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Hey All,

I just got off the phone with VS support ((310) 228-4000) and i was informed that they had a big meeting with the techs and Nvidia yesterday about honeycomb for Gtablet. The rep said that it is coming but not sure what the date is. So that is some good news. I am suppose to get a call back from her either today or tomorrow with a def answer about honeycomb. Also the update servers are going online today or tomorrow according to her and the latest update is 3588.

I also recieved and email from Nvidia and they are looking in to the issue as well.

this is Bruce's response:

Hi – we’re still looking into this, sorry for the delay.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Sorry forget to add one thing.. If many people call in to this they might push the release date closer and may release it sooner. :)
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Interesting, given that nVidia has stated they will not put Honeycomb on anything less than Ventana.
[G Tablet General] plastikman187:
While I appreciate your willingness to push this, I still don't see NV helping out. To VS the Gtab is dead, why do they care about pushing NV for HC?
[G Tablet General] CodeNinja:
Well, keep in mind. nVidia said they would not be officially supporting HC on Harmony. They then later said that it was up to the Manufacturer. If Viewsonic really told him GTablet will get Honeycomb, I wonder if this means that nVidia will be releasing the driver source to the OEMs to support as they see fit? It's also possible that the Ventana drivers will work on Honeycomb with some modifications, since it sounds like the only difference is in the ancillary components on the board, not the chip itself.

Cautiously optimistic. Until I see a ROM I'm not going to hold my breath.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
Not sure.. It was a shocking news to me as well when the rep Her name is SUE told me that they had a big meeting yesterday about releasing honeycomb for Gtablet and she also mentioned that they were in conference calls with nvidia about it. She said that she doesn't have the full story but she took my number and name and said that if i cant get you this info by today one her engineers will call me tomorrow with the info.

Lets see what happens.
[G Tablet General] smapdi:
+1. That was exactly my point in the "Look Ahead" thread.
[G Tablet General] r4ph:
I called in just to ask if honeycomb was coming. hope it helps.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
What did they say to you if you don't mind sharing.
[G Tablet General] zax123:
Has there not already been drivers written for Ventana/Honeycomb by nVidia? I guess there has been they just haven't been released to the wild yet?

I too am cautiously optimistic about this...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I would not trust anything that their new CS department says, yet - I have my reasons for that. But I hope I am wrong.
[G Tablet General] msignor:
The Nvidia dev forum posted an update yesterday stating that they will stop developing an OS (ie the rom) based on the prior generation tegra 2.

They completely acknowledge the fact that the kernel sources will be provided.

---

Mar 16 2011 at 12:07 AM #1 .NVIDIA is only supporting the Ventana platform for android releases going forward. At the moment we have released Froyo and Gingerbread OS images for Ventana and will release Honeycomb after Google has done so.

UPDATE 12 APRIL 2011:

Sorry folks looks like I caused a bit of confusion. Since this is a developer forum my comments

were targeted at Tegra Honeycomb developers and for this we’d like to focus on Ventana. For shipping or production products, customers should contact the device makers directly for OS support plans. They are responsible for the OS shipping on their device.

In relation to our linux kernel git repository, NVIDIA will continue to provide full open-source support for all of our kernel components and will push more of that upstream over time.

[G Tablet General] sundar2012:
But nvidia never develops these roms in the first place, right? they just develop the chipset and drivers?

What does it mean for us that the kernel sources will be provided. Does that mean we'll be able to port Gingerbread and/or honeycomb with hardware acceleration?
[G Tablet General] CodeNinja:
I suspect they develop ROMs for their development hardware. However if what they meant is that they won't be developing any new development hardware ROMs, but will continue to provide driver kernel support to manufacturers, they really screwed up how they worded it.
[G Tablet General] f2froit:
Indistinctly this sounds like really f***ing good news!!! :)

sorry for the wording, but Im happy again (I bought mean a week ago)

Still waiting for a call back.... ... .. .

From Viewsonic's Twiiter:

Folks- we can't comment on future OS updates to our tablets- too many variables. We'll let you know if updates are available.

16 minutes ago via CoTweet

I guess we'll wait and hope :)
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
This is entirely, my opinion.

I consider both good and bad news about Honeycomb and the future updates to the drivers for Harmony all rumors until there's a clear cut answer. Both responses from Viewsonic and Nvidia are not facts since they both seem to be flip flopping their answers.

I consider myself a positive person so I will remain that way while others may not share the same stance. The only thing that both negative and positive people may have in common is that all of our posts are assumptions at this point.
[G Tablet General] gogorman:
I am EXTREMELY skeptical of the CS department too after the farce that took place when i sent my tablet off to get the camera fixed.

Away for a month - no calls, no emails, no nothing. The I get the tablet back and it is missing rubber feet from the back, my carbon fiber cover is all torn up and there is a sizable scratch in on the back where they gouged out the rubber foot. Asked for a replacement and the guy on the phone told me "that was never going to happen." A giant "F You" basically. he told me that he would keep looking in to it for me but that it would NOT be replaced. I was told I would get a call back - that was 3 weeks ago now. 5 days later I receive a box with the feet in the mail.

I was told about 10 times that I would have receive a call back during the 2-week long process and I received maybe 2 calls max.

The CS team (and now company as whole I'm beginning to think) is a DISGRACE.
[G Tablet General] ant667:
Just because you had a bad run day or experience with the company doesn't mean that all of us here have. Also Id like to announce they just made a post on facebook earlier today.

We can't comment on future OS updates to our tablets - there are too many variables. We'll let you know if updates are available.

"Meanwhile, we continue to support the gTablet and our ViewPad line. All our products deliver consistent, solid performance."
[G Tablet General] sundar2012:
looks like we'll get gingerbread driver support based on the latest on nvidia...

its not worth getting concerned about viewsonic delivering honeycomb as long as we get driver support and of course honeycomb hits aosp. until then...cm7?
[G Tablet General] Icewyng:
Someone over at the nVidia dev forums says the Toshiba Folio 100 was able to get some Honeycomb functionality, thanks to a dev here at XDA. How relevant could that be for the Gtab?
[G Tablet General] tnerb123:
Well don't get your hopes up. If they did what SamSCUM did with the captivate, were never getting honeycomb.

Just a note. Customer service reps will tell you anything to keep you happy! Thats what they get paid to do!
[G Tablet General] rx8saxman:
NVIDIA will support Honeycomb on the G-Tablet, as long as Viewsonic does

From Tegra Developer Zone:

UPDATE 13 APRIL 2011

A lot has been read into a very short post about a Tegra development kit. I'd like to clear up a few points.

First, nothing changes in what we’re delivering to the open source community or customers. NVIDIA will continue to post the Tegra kernel to kernel.org and publish our Android code to our public git servers. Additionally, we will continue to make our BSP (codecs, GPU driver etc) available to all our hardware partners. We will continue to do this and nothing about these processes has changed.

For our partners' Android devices, NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device. So, for instance, NVIDIA will support the Xoom on all versions of Android Motorola requests until Motorola ceases to support the Xoom. The same goes for ViewSonic with the G-Tablet, Notion Ink with the Adam, Acer with the Iconia, LG with the Optimus 2X and so on.

In relation to my original reply, that was a response to a specific question about a Tegra 250 Development Kit. Given the confusion, we will work with owners of Tegra 250 Development Kits individually to determine their needs. The term "Harmony" is an internal codename for the Tegra 250 Development Kit. It is not a tablet reference design. Each shipping tablet is a custom design with varying hardware components and requires a custom OS image from the OEM who made the tablet.

Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers. We will be reaching out to them today.
[G Tablet General] dynamicj:
I havent really posted on this forum but I did want to state If you call viewsonic's customer service number and ask for a Gtablet Engineer you will be directed to speak with one. They guy I spoke with today said they are still working on finishing up updates for the Gtab and are working to get a gingerbread release very soon followed by honeycomb as soon as google releases the code to them. He also stated that nvidia has already sent them drivers for ginger. Just a heads up call them and request it, its the only way to ensure we get future updates!
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
Maybe someone (a dev?) can talk to viewsonic and see if they can and/or will release the drivers to us. this would be a huge step with community and the allow us to continue with the homebrew rom devolpment
[G Tablet General] Dishe:
I've heard a lot of talk about this, but with Notion Ink using a hacked together HC rom, what are the chances a proper (fully working and accelerated) port is going to really happen still? I found this old thread when googling for new info on the topic.

Sorry to revive it after all this time, but wondering if there is any new info I'm missing?
[G Tablet General] Saurabh:
Anything new in this topic..? Everyone seems to have given up?
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
Tons of info here: gTab and Honeycomb

Some info here too, see the June 25th entry.

Can someone rename this thread so people don't get excited when it gets bumped? Seriously, having a thread titled "Honeycomb may be coming for Gtablet" bumped after it died 3 months ago, just so someone can ask 'any new news' is just foolish.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Basically speaking, viewsonic isn't seem to be wiling to ask nvidia for the driver support for either ginger or honey. And based on the whole fiasco regarding the notion ink adam, we have every reason to believe that nvidia isn't willing to release driver support for harmony processor.

I say just forget about this and move on with your life. For now, I'm fine with froyo.
[G Tablet General] Dishe:
I've seen both of those already. That sticky post is older than the information in this thread. While I take everything I read with a grain of salt (I'm not crossing my fingers), some of the posts in this thread show that things may have started moving already (if not pretty soon).

The notionink blog pretty much says it all- that until Google releases HC source, its a crapshoot. But I think most of us were afraid that Nvidia would leave us high and dry even after that, but the info in this thread looks like they might not in the end.

Obviously if HC were here we'd know about it. But I'm wondering if there have been any follow up correspondence like the ones in this thread from the companies involved. Lately I've heard a lot of folks (on this forum and others) talk about "when we get real honeycomb", as if its a given that its coming. I wasn't under the impression we can assume that before reading all this.

Froyo is fine for most things, but the BT stack is problematic (HID support, etc) and new media-rich applications from here on are likely to target the new APIs only found in Ginger and HC. For example, Skype with video support will probably NEVER have a Froyo version, and as Netflix supports more devices it will likely stop backpedaling to Froyo support as well (easier and simpler screen APIs for accelerated playback I believe).

Sure, we'll be able to keep playing the next "Angry Birds", but certain more complicated apps are going to be excluded from us down the road- and I'm already starting to feel it now. The Galaxy Tab has Gingerbread and can run Skype Video calls, and I almost bought one for roughly the same price as my G-tablet. I just figured the Tegra would be more future-proof.

And what is the "fiasco" at NotionInk? Are you talking about that blog entry? Because I don't get what's so "fiasco" about it.
[G Tablet General] :
Honeycomb is not coming to gtablet...

directly from viewsonic's own twitter page:

@brucewhite with both nVidia and Google that prevent later versions of the Android OS from being implemented on the GTablet at the moment.

and

@tomsliwowski There are 3rd party companies that have hacked the device, however, Honeycomb is not support by ViewSonic on the gTablet.

sad to hear, but roms are becoming more and more advanced Gtabcomb is now in beta (3.1) and has working flash (but may not be the only one.....)

they comment "nVidia and Google are preventing" but that doesn't make sense. The same Tegra2 platform is in Acer Iconia and other
[G Tablet General] Dishe:
Yes, but the code is licensed to them, I think.

I might be mistaken in how this works, but I assume Google lets vendors have sourcecode if they are willing to pay licensing fees before it goes public (how else can the Xoom, Iconia and Galaxy 10 have HC? Clearly some people get preferential treatment).

In other words, HC source is not open to the public and 3rd party vendors (like Viewsonic) who aren't willing to shell out money for dibs on not-yet-released code don't have access yet. Google's whole "open source" model seems to have caveats like that- the source isn't opened until the next version is out. I'm sure there is some kind of marketing strategy involved in why they do that.

But I think that's what it comes down to, right? Viewsonic isn't in a position to strike a new licensing deal with Google for code before it goes public (whereas apparently Motorola, Samsung and even Acer are), especially not on a slightly-older model tablet like the G-tab. But that doesn't mean nvidia will not make their drivers available should Viewsonic choose to support HC when it is publicly available.

Take a look at what someone posted in this thread quoted from the Tegra developer's zone:

"NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device

...

Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers."
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Some of the hardcore fans of NI have turned against them. NI has been trying to get driver support from nvidia for months and they have gotten zip from them. What was resulted was NI releasing a hacked version of HC made by a community member. This is sad, really, that NI is actually actively seeking to improve their tablet and nvidia is just saying 'screw you' to NI and their customers.
[G Tablet General] Dishe:
That's a rather misconstrued version of what happened. NI doesn't have access to HC source until Google releases it. NVIDIA is not allowed to share Google's intellectual property.

Read the post above yours.
