[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Hi everyone. To date, I've rooted every Android phone my wife and I have owned (and several for other people). I bought a Verizon Samsung tablet today and of course I want to root it. The tab was used and the girl I bought it from did a factory reset BEFORE disconnecting it from her data package. I noticed that the tab went through an activation process after the reset. Everything works fine on it now, except it's stock and not rooted.

I'm not sure if rooting this thing will require me to activate the tablet. I haven't researched to see if the software is replaced or if it just pushes super user to the tab but I'm pretty sure flashing a rom would require the initial activation set up.

So my question, if I root and rom my tab and DO NOT have a data plan, will I be able to get back into the device? I asked Verizon what would happen if I did a factory reset (which is the same as wiping data in recovery) and they said I could temporarily move one of my phone lines to the tab...which is also a problem because we have 2 Thunderbolts. If I transfer my line from the phone, my sim card will be no good. I'd have to go to Verizon to get a new one.

Any way to bypass the initial activation after a factory reset or rom flash? Or is that even a problem for rooters without data plans. Am I over thinking?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
No one?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf2di4:
i Rooted mine while my data plan was inactive. and was able to use wi-fi with no problem.

hope that helps

Karl
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Thanks, I found something online saying that I can press the following at the activation screen to bypass it:

Vol up once

Vol down twice

Vol up three times

Vol down four times

I'm yet to try it but I will this weekend.

Dear Teamovercome,

What does us CMDA'ers got to do to get shown some love? Do we need to get you you a CMDA Gtab? I am just curious...I know that deep down you would love to spread your overcome love to us guys/gals that are left out in the cold...lol. Seriously...this may have been asked of you before, but if there is anything that I can do to get the ball rolling...Let me know ;)

-Thanks \oo/
[Galaxy Tab General] thepittbull:
Hi neo...

There's one simple reason why there's no Overcome development directly on the CDMA-based Tabs, and you've hit it right on the nail: AB86 doesn't have a CDMA unit to work, and no one on the team has one either.

However, if I'm not mistaken, and there is someone whose trying to work it out for CDMA Tabs. Not sure if it's Gingerbread-based though, as the kernel currently available is for GSM-based Tabs only.

Sent from my Overcome-Powered Tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] neo4uo:
Well if that it all the teams needs, I need to call out the CMDA community and get some tablets donated, even though that is easier said than done :0. Well when there is a will there is a way.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
Since its you who seems to want it that badly why don't you donate one? :D
[Galaxy Tab General] neo4uo:
That's what it may come to, but would rather hear feed back from the devs first :p. Then I can go from there :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
I think we need AB86's view on this. I know he helped someone port an older [Froyo] version of Overcome to CDMA although I am not absolutely certain how functional it actually is on CDMA.

AB86 will definitely have glanced at the idea though so he will be the best one to give us an idea of what's possible and what's not :)
[Galaxy Tab General] DarkPal:
MK is right on. AB86 did help a CDMA tabber port some overcome goody to CDMA tab and this is farthest that tabber got: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058086
[Galaxy Tab General] conantroutman:
@ the OP,

Can I suggest that you change the title of the thread to something a little more descriptive of the topic.

Its just that sometimes these kind of threads can turn into "If you want it, do it yourself" / "stop harrasing the dev's" type flame fests....

And from just glancing at the thread title it looks as if you have some kind of problem with the Overcome devs.

I appreciate that your only asking for info and not making demands, just want to make sure that someone doesnt see the title and decide to start rage posting without even reading.
[Galaxy Tab General] alterbridge86:
I would be more than willing to work on a CDMA tab, given I had one :P That's the biggest set back really. I did help the other member try and get Overcome running on it, but its extremely difficult and slow to develop on a device I don't physically have in hand. :(
[Galaxy Tab General] neo4uo:
Changing the title now...Maybe it was offensive for some or alter...if it was I apologize :(
[Galaxy Tab General] neo4uo:
That will be my project. I will contact a few sources and see what I can get going. I just wondered if you would be even willing if we could get you a tab. It sounds like you are :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
I'm sure nobody found it offensive... perhaps just too general :)
[Galaxy Tab General] conantroutman:
Exactly, its clear you didn't mean to be offensive it's just that some people have a habit of posting before reading ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] temekio2000:
Does it matter what kind of HDMI cord I use on the tab? Because the videos have a reddish tint to the r look bad all together. The tab also locked up and crashed trying to play a video with rock player. I also tried to play a flash video on the stock browser and it locked up with lines through the screen. Anyone

All you need to do is crinkle decompile the apk, edit the keyboard thumbnails, sign and recompile. Its easy :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] trdar:
Hi guys,

My TF101 sits a bit loose in the dock, and can be nudged back and forth quite easily without causing any rotation of the actual hinge mechanism. The lock engages quite easily so the lock isnt the problem, the padded supports just seem a bit too 'open'. Anybody else have this issue, and/or does somebody know how to 'tighten' the grip on the tablet?

Thanks!

TD
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Alex2x3:
I have also have recently noticed this. It seems to be getting looser and looser. It's just seems like it does not sit as snuggly. I tried to squeeze it to see if I could tighten it but it made a pretty bad crack noise. I hope it doesn't continue to get worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] cowballz69:
had dock for about 3 weeks, still sitting solid, however theres got to be some kind of small gap because if not you wouldnt be able to slip the tablet into the dock. maybe try something creative and put something inthere to have it tighter if u want.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] aquenne:
Make sure the "switch" is all the way to the right, each of the connection points causes it to move half way. Ive found if its only half way engaged it does feel quite loose, but still recongnizes the dock as being connected.

so make sure you push the tablet in as far as it will go, there shouldnt be any gap between the bottom of the tablet and the U peice in the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] popophobia:
Mine is still solid. I wish it was a bit loose so I can have a leather coat sticking on the back of the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] aamon17:
So true. Mine was loose too & I thought it was broken. Then I realized the switch was in the middle, not all the way locked in. I pressed the tablet down & it click right into place.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rpavich:
I've made sure that my dock was fully docked but I have noticed that due to the design...(the pulling up of the tablet during opening and thereby putting pressure on one side of the clamshell holder) it starts it to separate a little...and it gets looser over time. You can see this when you look at the hinge from the side...the "split line" of the two parts is not parallel....you can squeeze the clamshell with your fingers and get the split to close up...but it's definitely getting looser.

I noticed that there were two little star wrench screws (I think that they are) at the base of the clamshell hinge...I'll see if tightening them up changes anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Doppleganger77:
+1 to the above. I thought the same. You have to give it a reasonably forceful push in and the lock should then be almost all the way to the right. Much more snuggly fit now. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] shadowjin:
I got my dock in today and the manual is very vague on how to connect it besides snap on , until it clicks.

Does the (lock button) on the dock itself have to be in an unlocked position or locked (far right), than slide the screen in? for it to connect?

Im having a problem locking it in place. Im connecting it the way the booklet shows in the picture (unlocked button position) than align the tablet, slide in.. until it clicks. But it doesn't connect.. its bending the tablet frame opening on the bottom.

Sorry for the dumb question, its not exactly easy to dock like the commercial. I was able to bend the bottom connector on the tablet with a knife to get it straight again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Reverence12389:
The lock button should be pushed all the way to the left in the unlock position before you attempt to dock the tablet. Once it is all the way to the left, align the tablet, holding the sides, press down until you hear the initial click. From there I usually have to push down on the top left and top right so that the lock switch moves all the way to the right, and you'll hear another click.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] shadowjin:
thanks for the help.. it fits perfectly now..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
well, i got the dreaded "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" error, and decided to try some stuff i learned since i had some important photos/videos from a recent trip on there. turns out it worked, and figured i'd share with anyone (although it seems this error is fixed with the latest software). i recovered everything off my phone, totalling to approximate 1.7gig.

flash a adb recovery ROM with SU (can't remember if the SU is necessary, but there are pre-rooted roms out there, i just used one). also make sure all the drivers for the phone are installed on your computer

adb shell

su

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file

with winhex, open drive. a directory browser will show your file structure, and right click-->recover/copy whichever files you want. i went a step further created an full image so i can send in the phone. now i have a complete backup i can go back too at any time in case i forgot something i needed.

i tried re-flashing this phone with jg8/jh2/jk3/jl2 with different PITS trying to bring it back and nothing. tried force mounting it and some other commands, but in the end, this worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ziostilon:
somebody should give this a try.

great work

i could've really used this had it been a month ago, before i sent it in and lost everything :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
hey Ziostilon, when you had your phone fixed last month, did they mail you a new phone, or did you bring it in for repair? these Bell guys are breaking my balls and saying samsun can recover all my data, and i have to send it in for repair for a month

edit: it looks like this worked because the data on the partition is still intact, just the partition table is messed up. i wonder if a program like partition magic can repair the partition in it's current state? it might be something to look into for people without a warranty.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugeyed1:
Running CM7 last "stable" from SD card & it has been working fine. Using Zeam launcher.

After a few days of not using it & it being charged, when I start it, I first get notices "Problem loading widget" at all 4 locations on screen. Then I start seeing FCs for a bunch of apps that I haven't launched. Gmail, YouTube, FBReader etc. Also, almost every app I launch gets FC. Market works though??

I next updated to the latest Nightly 87 & it is the same. Over a period of time I see FCs for many apps that I haven't launched. What should I reload to get back to a functional device, 'cause right now it's not uneable??

Thanks,

kev

Update: It appears that un & reinstalling all offending apps has solved the problem. Not sure if I have any other issues that are linked to whatever happened, but I will give it a workout.

I like the graphic when it goes to sleep! Or is that not intentional & a bug? Talking about the video collapsing into a vertical line before going dark. Very retro.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShutterPeep:
I'm still using 7.0.3 (stable) but have encountered the same thing. I keep on adding widgets every now and then because of the issue. I also have more FCs now than usual. It was running fine for more than a week or so. I just want it to be stable... :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShutterPeep:
Another day into it, and it's getting worse. I have to reboot every time I try to do something because of FC for mostly all the apps I try to run. I try to run, say Aldiko, it will crash. So I reboot then it's ok. I'll try to run another app, it will also crash so the cycle goes on and on. I'd hate to re-flash and do everything again but it doesn't seem to give me any choice.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blankphoto:
I have the same issue, I started turning off features and its running better now.

Im running on a transend 16gb HC class 10 (nook/encore) if that makes any difference. I to just want it to work.... :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
It more than likeyly is your issue... test on a cheap sandisk class 2, 4 or 6 card and see the difference.

The issue is that higher class cards have high sustained thru put... but are much slower in small reads/writes... and that is what our devices are doing. lower class cards tend to have very high small read/write speeds... but do not have high sustained large read/writes.

Hope this makes sense.

Bottom line... hard to beat cheap and readily available sandisk uSD's for our devices.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
Yup, and they need to be sandisk branded in particular.

I have cheap class 2 drives that are nonbranded oem stuff and they cause fc's also.

So my suggestion is sandisk branded.

Hello,

ever since I went to visit the East Coast, my phone simply will not pick up my location. This has been going on for the past two months but I figured it would tide over. If I try to pick up my location in GPS, no luck. If I try to add a weather app, it won't work on Detect location. Is this a problem with the phone that occurs over time? Is my phone messed up? Is it my rom? (Cyanogen 7.0.3)

Thank you!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkshel:
I work in a large concrete building and do get 3g & 1X inside but no 4 g, but as soon as I go outside I get 4g, is there a way to increase or tweak antenna signal? Though I thought 4g was superior to 3g etc for penetration through structures. Anyone know what's going on here or have a solution?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
There are repeaters you can buy and install in buildings for 2g/3g (my work has this for the folks in the basement). They probably don't work for 4g frequencies, though. I don't know if there have been any released yet - google can help you with that, though. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDanimal:
Booster or some type of external antenna would be the best option. LTE works on 700MHz which does get better in building penetration but still might not make it through some metal buildings or lots of concrete.
[HTC Inspire 4G] da9b16:
Is there something going on here I don't know about after flashing roms and only reading 620MB of ram instead of the 768MB? I have dug into this thing 6 ways of sunday and I have installed several roms. I am currently running RCMixHD Kingdom sense rom.... with leedroid kernel. I am only seeing part of the RAM.... whats up with that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
The other RAM is not in fact "hidden" to my knowledge it is only nto appearing because it is taken by the core processes running the phone.

If you are familiar with Windows, and you have 4Gbs of RAM, in the end you will only have like 3.50...
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
some is reserved for the gpu, some reserved for the radio, etc. You'll never see the full amount of what any manufacturer states. Its all there, you just can't use all of it.

Hi,

I suddenly got a lot of force close on my phone and made me have to reboot the phone.

I see that those force close started after the internal sd card scan, I am curious that if it may be the problem of the internal sd card.

Even I did the factory reset, it still keep on having the same issue. I rooted my phone. I dont know if I need to get it to the customer services or can handle it by myself.

Can anyone gives some suggestion?

[Vibrant General] TheAggression:
I'm currently on Bionix - v 1.3.1 and for whatever reason my phone just started acting up. Mainly my video player. It won't play any videos, from what I've recorded on my phone to youtube videos. The only temporary fix is to reboot. I've been looking for a solution but no one seems to know one.

Anyway I'm thinking of reflashing my phone hoping for a permanent fix but just thought of flashing a new rom. My question is must i bring my phone back to stock 2.1 or can I simply just flash it as if it was an update to an existing rom???

Let me start out by saying I have looked at the Impaled Keyboard thread, but that it does not work for me. I noticed that the phone in the guide has 1.1.0 as the build, but mine has FROYO.EC05. I just got my phone a week ago. I also just rooted it.

[Epic 4G General] epic4g123:
so the acs rom will automatically fix the error?
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Yes because the Twilight kernel that comes with it has the patch and the rom flashes the mod on top of it.
[Epic 4G General] epic4g123:

[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Did you root using one click 3.0.0.6?
[Epic 4G General] epic4g123:
yes and then did 1.1.1, he said it would take some time...what exactly does that mean.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
So your filesystem converted? Download syndicate 1.1.0 and flash that. 1.1.1 doesn't always work by itself right after you root with 3.0.0.6
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Sometimes it takes a second time to flash it. Only on the intial one per phone from my experience. Make sure you enable journaling immediately after the first boot. This will all be well worth the effort.

Also anytime you do something that clears the dalvik cache you will usually sit at the bootscreen for about 1 minute.
