About the 3G Toggle

It makes sense that one has to turn off data before switching from 2G to 3G or vice versa in CM7!

On stock firmware (like KA7), when one switches from 2G to 3G or verse versa in the settings one gets the "no service icon" in the notification bar for a moment untill it switches data. There is even warning about it before trying to toggle the data. It's as if the phone is momentarily in airplane mode while the phone toggles the data.
[Vibrant Android Development] MStrawder:
I tried that in CM7 and as soon as I re-enabled data, I was bombarded with FC's. SuperPower automated that for me previously by turning it off, switching, and turning it back on. It's not a major thing for me, but if someone has a work-around, I'd appreciate it.
[Acer Iconia A500] VillainousVivi:
Does anyone have an idea of what SD cards are compatible with the A500 yet?

I have a Sandisk 8GB Class 2 SDHC card that worked fine in my nookColor, but won't work in the A500. I have another Sandisk, but it's a 2GB and not class rated (at least not on the card) and it seems to work fine, though I haven't done any extensive testing.

The symptoms I'm having are that if I have files on the SD card, the A500 can see them, but it can't write anything to the card.

Also on the topic of SD Cards, is there a way to format a card in the A500 yet? Neither of the cards I have tried give me the option to unmount or format when I look into the storage area of the Settings menus.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
From what I can see there's no way to format the SD inside Honeycomb, yet.

Been looking it up but haven't found any references.

I have no solution for you, just a recommendation that I hope will solve your problem.

Recommendation:

Copy the content of you microSD to your PC.

Format the card in FAT32 on your PC (is it able to do it?)

Copy the files back to the MicroSD.

Try it in the Acer again.

I have quite a few cards myself and they all work in the A500.

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] VillainousVivi:
I gave that a shot before coming here to find out why it wasn't working. Unfortunately, I still can't get the system to write to the card. It will read it if I have content on it to begin with, but that's it.

My 2GB SD Card seems to be working fine, same brand, just not rated with a class as it is likely a class 1 from before ratings started.
[Acer Iconia A500] neckgoes:
I have a 8gb SunDisk micro sd class 4 but my A500 would not recognize it, the card works fine on my phone and on my laptop.

I tryied with a 8gb Transcend and everything is ok.
[Acer Iconia A500] imrush1984:
I had to restart the tablet with sdcard in to recognize it afterwards. Now seems to work ok.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
Hi everyone. This is my first post in a long time. I just bought an SGT & I'm over the moon with it - what an incredible piece of tech!

However, I do have one problem/question that I need help with... Bear with me because although it's quite a simple problem, it's difficult to explain! When I configure my APN settings (Globe Philippines), it automatically connects & stays connected unless I lose signal (but then it reconnects automatically again). In almost every developed country in the world, this is not a problem because you would be on a data plan (post-paid) or you could buy a data allowance (pre-paid) so it doesn't matter that it automatically connects & stays connected... you wouldn't keep racking up the charges. But here it's different... The vast majority of people are on pre-paid (we can't qualify for post-paid contract) and the mobile networks charge per 15 minutes of data useage.

So, you see, if my Tab connects automatically without warning it can cost me a small fortune. I'm currently using an App called APNdroid to manually enable/disable my mobile data connection. Although this is better than nothing, it's not ideal. My other phones default to mobile data = off & pop up a warning when I'm about to connect to internet. They also allow me easily terminate the connection when I'm finished browsing.This is what I'm after for the Tab. Surely this is not too much to ask? Does anybody have any suggestions that may help me out?

It seems as though the SGT/Android has been designed with the assumption that everyone that wants to use mobile data will be on a post-paid data plan. I would if I could, but I (and millions of others in this backward country) can't.

Thanks in advance & sorry for the long, rambling post!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnewsgrp:
This is a perfectly logical question. Its the same issue when you are roaming in a foreign country/network. Here is what I do Settings => Mobile Network Settings => Data Enabled == OFF when I don't want to use data.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
@cnewsgrp... Thanks for the reply. What you are suggesting is pretty much what I'm doing except that instead of going into settings, I have an app on my home screen that does it for me in one click. However, this is not ideal. All I'm after is for my Galaxy Tab to ask me which of my configured APNs do I want to connect to when a data connection is needed (if not using wifi) & then automatically disconnect from it when it's not needed. I have this facility on my Nokia E71.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnewsgrp:
Yeah, I remember that with E71. I don't recollect having that option with Android

How about APN Lock App?

Does anyone know if the issue with using a bluetooth mouse is a Honeycomb thing? Aside from the standard 'I can pair but not connect' issue I have dropped in some hci tools that allow me to use terminal to detect and then connect the BT mouse via the mac address. I know that it's getting connected but the tab doesn't display the cross hairs.

Do we know if this is a driver issue with 3.0?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksonic:
So, I just got my phone back from Samsung for this issue. Start my newly returned phone up, it's running 2.2. I turn it off, hold volume buttons and plug in my USB cable - I get download mode instantly. I start up Odin 1.7, select the files and click start.

Nothing happens. Hangs up SetupConnection. I unplug the battery, then the USB cable, plug everything back in and I'm back at square one with this ****ing screen.

Last time I tried every single ****ing button combination posted on this website. I know my phone isn't hardware locked because I've never had a problem getting in to Download Mode before. Hell, I'd never had a problem with Odin not working properly before. What the hell is wrong? I have all the proper drivers installed. Why is this happening?

Now, Odin still sees my phone when I plug it in. If I click Start, sometimes it hangs on SetupConnection, sometimes it hangs on Initialization. I've read that you should still be able to flash while on this screen? Is this true? Either way, I think I'm ****ed again. Any help?

Also, I've read that maybe a jig will help get me in to download mode? Where can I buy a jig from?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
you can go to stock jfd from that screen, it acts like download mode.

Once on jfd, download mode will work fine.

try the files in my going back to stock... also make sure to remove any other usb components (they can cause odin to hang).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksonic:
I love you.

Something must be wrong with the files on my desktop, or perhaps the other USB cable I'm using is ****ed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksonic:
This is a bit embarrassing. For some reason I can't get root. I can get in to recovery and select reinstall packages, but every time it boots right back in to the OS. Any hints? Never had this issue before.

EDIT: So it looks like I have Superuser installed but since I can't get into Clockwork I can't flash any roms. What's going on? I can't find any other links where people couldn't get in to Clockwork.

EDIT2: Well, I installed ROM Manager and used it to "flash" CWM. Reinstall Packages worked this time it seems. Weird. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Indeed. There were several posts in the development thread about it causing boot issues. It's only with the Vibrant though. They suggested flashing a new kernel/old kernel and that should fix it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Sorry - that is only to go back to previous. We will be uploading another soon if we've fixed what we think we just fixed. But to get your phone back, just flash an older kernel, and then flash 5/1 update and you should be on CM7 again, ready for new update which will happen soon I hope.

if you are still on a stock rom boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages until cw loads. usually takes two clicks on reinstall packages. until you flash a kernel with cw injected you have to run cw as a update.zip. you can't use vibrantmdt recovery on a stock rom with a stock kernel if that's what you're trying to do.

Major Force Close issues..

So I've searched the internet with a might force and have yet to find any answers! I've been experiencing major issues with all ofmy apps force closing on CM7, regardless of the build. How it happens is I will wipe everything possible via recovery. I mean I wipe date/reset, format boot, system, cache, data, data/data, dalvik cache...everything! Next, I'll re-install the latest CM7 availiable, let it boot, sit for 15, and then go to town on installing all of my apps. and setting up my beast to my liking. The force closes seem to come once I use the phone too much. For instance, If I only use the phone for some light texting over a few days, I'm okay. I won't experience force closes....but then second I have an extended browsing session for say, 30 minutes, then the browser force closes, and then gmail, and then every g'app takes the dive too. And before I know it, nearly every app that I have installed wil open, and then close with a force close. I then do a fix permission via RomManager (if I can get into it before it dies too!), or via recovery if I can't. That fixes the fore closes for a few hours, and then it's all down hill again. So then I wipe everything and it's mother, reflash, and I'm good for another day or two. This has been going for weeks now. I'm out of ideas and need some help homies. Any ideas?

The only thing I haven't done yet is odin back to stock and start from scratch. I just wasn't sure that would have any impact but if any of you think it might, I'm all ears.

Thanks

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indierocker774:
If you went back to stock, and then rooted, you need to open ClockworkMod. Choose to install recovery for Galaxy S Vibrant FIRST...and then once it downloads, and installs, reboot into recovery and select "Reinstall Packages". That'll actually install CW recovery for you. All you've done by choosing Vibrant MTD 2.xx or 3.xx is set RM to choose that path for either one of those. You've actually forgotten to install the recovery itself. Once you follow those steps, you can then choose MTD 3.xx and you'll be all set.

I've always used the latest g'apps. I've event recently started downloading them through RM, but I don't know. I probably dropped a bomb somewhere while messing around and didn't even realize lol.
