[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yareally:
You're totally off topic. He's talking about the applications in the Amazon app store, not video and music.

The Amazon app store, if the developer requests it, can require a constant internet connection to make the app work correctly (though most have a workaround to allow for times when you are not around a data connection, like a plane). It also seems to probe your device quite a bit to make sure things are still in check. If you root and flash a lot, it may add duplicate devices to your account and kind of screw with their connection bs. I would check your account on their actual site and delete those if you have them. There's a lot more to their store, but if you're interested, I can probably dig it up and explain.
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Newbie question for sure, but I really am thinking of rooting my Iconia. Will I lose the ability to get expected updates?
[Acer Iconia A500] hurrpancakes:
I guess we'll find out, but you can always undo the root (using Gingerbreak) if the need comes
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Yea, unless they specifically added something to detect root and stop updates you can. Worst case you can get someone to send you the update.zip when it's out and you can flash it yourself.
[Acer Iconia A500] hlaalu:
just DO NOT uninstall any apps that came with the device as doing so usually prevents the update from working.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Why wouldn't root be able to get updates?

Root is simply what the developers would have access to in order to develop certain things and denying them updates wouldn't make any sense.

I am new to this forum and just got the Transformer yesterday. So far so good and find help from other posts in this forum for the new device. Hope this is the right place to post my question. If not, please let me know.

I am trying to see if the eee pad transformer able to handle hand writing recognition for English and Chinese characters. So far I have not been able to do so. Is there any existing Android app available? If it can support Chinese character would be better. Unfortunately, I do not know any Chinese input method. Thanks.

Hi,

So my sgs was charging got entangled in some wires, and fell on the ground. Since then it doesn't vibrate any longer.

Any other solutions other than taking it for repair? I not on the rom that it came with and i'm pretty scared about flashing it back.

I'm on jpy 2.2.1 and the original rom was 2.2 from vodafone portugal (which i don't have).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
if this only happened when the phone dropped, its most likely hardware problem.

is the JPY 2.2.1 you are running now stock ??

dont worry about getting the phone back to original firmware, as long as the phone has stock firmware you should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullzeye.za:
Have the same issue, dropped it ( from a very low height ) and the vibrator seems dead.

Taking it in for repairs tomorrow, hoping they'll do it under the warranty, otherwise I don't expect it to be too expensive, a quick checkup has vibrator units in 50 packs for $50 online.

Will post here once I get it back ( it'll take a week and a half, they say ) with feedback if I remember to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Thanks for the reply,

and i didn't notice right away but seems to me that the fall was responsible.

I have the rom completely stock, but i rooted it with superoneclick.

The aplication has an unroot option, is it safe?

Also the CSC is KOR, i'm portuguese won't this raise any red flags?

It might seem stupid but this is the only good phone that i ever had and my dad would kill me if when i got to the store they wouldn't accept it for repair because i flashed the phone.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: bullzeye.za.

mine was from a low height as well. :s did you had the phone rooted or flashed a different rom on it?

I would really like the feedback, thank you

Flash it to any 2.2 ROM with ODIN, try and find one with the base system files included, the ROM should be 250mb+ if it does.

Got my phone back on Thursday ( Wednesday was a public holiday ) so it was only 16 business hours that I was without my phone.

Working better than new now, the only think I worry about is that the vibrator seems to have an "echo" as if it's not secured completely.

Oh well, it just makes the vibrations easier to notice.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commenter:
Hello,

Regarding dual-band Samsung Galaxy Tabs correctly operating on 5Ghz/40mhz...

Is anyone seeing 150mbit (or better) with their Galaxy Tab using 5Ghz at 40Mhz?

Only respond if you have a galaxy tab, and you know that you are using 5ghz. Also please quickly review ALL of the following relevant information before attempting to respond to the above questions;

According to the following search info the galaxy tab supports 5ghz dual-band wireless-n, and the overcome rom v1.6.4 supports 5ghz wireless-n also.

"Dual Band Wi-Fi"

http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=&ie=utf-8&q=galaxy+tab+5ghz

"WiFi-N on the 5ghz band now works"

http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=&ie=utf-8&q=galaxy+tab+overcome+rom+5ghz

Additional info:

I am using a Linksys e3000 (dual band) router, and can connect at 300mbit stable link-speed (file transfer speeds are 15MegaBYTE/sec average) using a Linksy AE1000 USB adapter (with any pc or notebook) which I purchased to resolve similar (speed/streaming/transfer) issues with the onboard single-band 2.4ghz wireless-n adapter in another device I was working on.

I have both 2Ghz and 5Ghz networks and devices completley seperated. 5ghz is operating at 40Mhz (specifically wireless-n) only (automatic channel) and 2.4ghz operating at 20Mhz (wireless-g only) with a specified channel that is not being used by any neighbors.

I do not have any issues with connection, stability, or speed/transfers with any other N or G devices...

I can connect to the 5ghz (wireless-N only) network with the galaxy tab although it is not very stable. Speed fluctuates btwn 11mbit and 65mbit, and is pretty much bunk for video streaming (standard xvids or mkvs) via smb/cifs using MoboPlayer (and others).

Both video formats (xvid & mkv) play fine locally via (8GB class4) sdcard upto 720p. 1080p mkv (using ext2/ext3 on a second partition on the external sd) are completely unwatchable on (16GB class2) sdcard. For that reason and the flakey 5ghz wireless-N speed which effects the (unwatchable) playback/streaming of even small 30 minute fast-motion (action and/or animated) xvids almost makes me want to return the TAB.

I am running Overcome 1.6.4 rom+kernel (froyo) and have no issues other than the battery life seems to deteriorate rather quickly (and it seems to generate more heat) while using 5ghz for long periods.

Has anyone here successfully connected at 150mbit (stable) or better (using 5ghz) with their Galaxy Tab (P1000) yet? And if so, was there anything extra that you needed to do to accomplish that speed and/or stability with this device?

Please review all of the above before answering, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commenter:
bump. Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimdizzy:
Couple of questions for you first.

1- How are you measuring your speed?

2 - You do realize that SMB/CIFS sharing is not the ideal way to stream video? Thereis much more overhead in you bandwidth versus say using a streaming server (ie Plex) or using a DLNA player/server to stream.

3 - The MKVs that you're streaming, are they all 720 or are some 1080? Do some have DTS? Both the 1080 and the DTS will cause playback issues streaming as both need alot of work done to be processed correctly by the device.

For streaming video I have found, after much testing, that anything that has DTS or is high bitrate HD content will cause thetab to stutter. I find that remuxing to an MP4 with AAC 2 channel audio and your streaming problems will disappear even using SMB.

Think of it this way, we don't have 1080 resolution nor surround sound, why even strain the device to process it. I use a Plex setup with an AppleTV using dual band N with a G signal as well and never have issues even over 3G. My router is a Linksys E3000 with Bell Fibe 25 down with 7 up VDSL internet connection.

Lemme know how you make out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manekineko:
I just got a Linksys E3000, and I can't seem to get my Galaxy Tab to see the network at 5 GHz at all.

The E3000 is simultaneous dual band, and it's connecting fine to the 2.4 GHz network.

Did you have to do anything to get it to just connect?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commenter:
Hey slimdizzy, thanks for responding to a question with a question.

If you pay more attention to the post you might notice at least one of your questions was already answered prior to your reply.

Correct me if i am wrong but the overhead in CIFS/SMB is minimal/insignificant in respect to my request/questions.

There is also no need to implement other technologies (client/sever software) to accomplish the task of streaming using pre-existing technlogy that has been used for numerous years over much less powerful (or capable) hardware or infrastructure.

The question is NOT concerning what technolgy to use, but rather what connection (and link) speeds people are getting over 5ghz Wireless-N, with this specific device, so if you cannot answer the question there is really no need to respond.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commenter:
Again unrelated to my request/questions. (manekineko),

You might want to read the original post again more thoroughly.

See the second paragraph after "additional info" in the first post. Also notice I mentioned a rom/kernel that supports 5GHZ Wireless-N specifically.

Try to reboot your device or empty the trashcan on the Mac.
[General Questions and Answers] xandry:
Your memory card may be occupied by deleted files that are in a trashcan on the device itself. I.e., on SD card my LG GT540 is folder /.Trash-1000 (she is hiden for unix-based OS).
[General Questions and Answers] trashtakeout:
It says that the files are deleted. They may be in a trascan on the sd but how would I find that. The data is off my card I just don't get the memory back so I can add more stuff.
[General Questions and Answers] trashtakeout:
So where do I go on the sd card to empty the trash bin or whatever?
[General Questions and Answers] ninjajukes:
I don't think there is a trash bin.
[General Questions and Answers] xandry:
Search any like /.Trash* or RECYCLE

And what OS on your phone? And filesystem SD card. Maybe you use a modified firmware with support for ext4 filesystem, and a memory card for ext4. Then just a part of the space can be used for root.

Or your card just damage.

Sorry for my bad english.
[General Questions and Answers] doowopmario:
By now, you probably already figured it out, but on your mac (with your phone connected to it) select your device and then go to your Trash and empty it. That should do it.

Hi, i just bought the phone off ebay about a week back.

through a contact my dad has in Reliance(carrier in India), i have somehow manged to get my meid registered., the phone has been rooted and is running stock sense 2.0 ROM. every time i go to wireless&networks and set the network selection to home only, i get no signal. putting it on automatic gives me a roaming sign on the network bar. dialing *228(while roaming is on) brings me to a reliance answering machine(?). after choosing my language, it tells me that my phone could not be activated.

please help. many people have manged to do this but im not getting any response from them.

thanks, Sid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Dial ##778# and change settings manually. The code is 000000. You will have to change Home SID to the SID for Reliance and change MDN and MSID. If your old phone worked, easiest way is to change the settings to match your old phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:
I've tried dialing ##778#, but nothing happens. just takes me back to the dialer. should i change my ROM?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
How about ##7764726#?

If neither will work, you might have to flash to a stock ROM. Both should definitely work from a stock ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:
yeah, that didnt work either. flashing to a stock ROM. will post back if it works. thanks, Sid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:
just recovered the stock ROM and ##778# works! ive also manged to get the prl from my carrier, but i dont have my old phone. i can probably arrange the the MID no.s etc, though. Also, i dont have to change the ESN, do i?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I think these are the things you will have to change:

MDN is your full phone number including area code. In the US, this is 10-digits.

MIN1 in the US is typically the 3-digit area code.

MIN2 is typically the 7-digit local number.

MIN1 and MIN2 can be different than the MDN, but that's very rare and usually only happens if you've had a phone number change.

MNC and MCC will need to be changed for your country.

MCC+MNC+MIN1+MIN2 = IMSI, which is the the subscriber identification for your cell provider so you need to get those 4 settings correct.

Home SID will need to be changed to Reliance.

I think MCC, MNC, and Home SID you should be able to get from any working CDMA phone that successfully connects to Reliance. Maybe get it from a friend or family member's phone. MDN, MIN1, and MIN2 should be the only things unique to your phone.

No, if your MEID is registered, you don't have to change it or the ESN.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:

hi this is vivek i also have a droid and it also has the same problem but the meid is not registered and it is rooted and has a stock rom but when i dial ##778# it juz come to the dailer so what shud i do pls help me out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
MEID will need to be registered. There's really no reason to proceed if it's not, because the network won't see your phone.

##778# sometimes doesn't work on my phone, I often have to reboot it and immediately try ##778#. Oh, and you have to hit Dial after entering it. It will ask for a password, and that's going to be 000000.

However, without having your MEID registered, you won't get anywhere.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:
hi, make sure you get the a key. im having trouble getting that. last piece of the jigsaw i guess.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Usually a fresh activation doesn't require an A-Key, but if you change MDN/MSID too much, it'll trigger a security lockout in the fraud detection system, and then you will need the A-Key to reset it.

I don't know how it is with Reliance in India, but with Verizon in the US, you have to call a higher level tech support person to get the A-Key. One way to get around that, is to have the ESN/MEID on your account changed to a different device, and then change it back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid3091:
yeah ive called my carrier(its tata, now). they've given me a 20 digit a key, told me to generate the other six digits myself. lol.
