[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Kies uses your current firmware info to determine whether there is an update for your rom version and carrier. Because custom rom's don't fit these properly they just appear as not update available. I suggest you go here for the Kies Patcher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628

Download it and spoof Kies to your carrier code then try and update. If it doesn't work then it may mean it isn't available for your carrier and probably easier to update yourself

Read this review: http://moneynowreview.blogspot.com/ It is legit and I have signed up for it. It's only available for US and UK I think, but they show you video commercials and you rate it and you get paid for it. Works perfect on the a500 and so convenient. I use my a500 mostly for that now haha
[General Questions and Answers] kimbernator:
I've just been wondering a couple assorted things about android devices.

1. the "droid" naming scheme originally seemed to be Motorola exclusive, yet HTC has the droid incredible and Samsung has the Droid Charge. Yet, almost all of Moto's phones still begin with the "Droid" moniker. How is it determined whether or not it's a "droid?" is it determined by it being on Verizon, or is it licensed out by Motorola or something? I mean, they didn't call the Thunderbolt the Droid thunderbolt.

2. The somewhat iconic HTC sense clock widget is something I've seen in a lot of Winmo pictures, like the HD2. Why is it the same between them? are they both just unique widgets designed by HTC?

3. Was there a naming scheme before Android Cupcake? Was there and A or B dessert used for earlier versions?

I think that's all I've got. I guess I'll post more if I think of any. And hey, if you have any questions like this post them here.

Droid is a LucasFilms trademark licensed to Verizon. I'm not sure what criteria Verizon uses for the Droid label.

1.0 and 1.1 were just plain Android.
[General Questions and Answers] il buono:
The iconic clock is basically a trademark look HTC has on its phones. Doesn't matter if it's Winmo or android, HTC puts that clock design on its devices. I like it and used Fancy Widget to put it on my phone

Anyone has trouble setting their email account in 3.1? I kept getting a message about authentication method not supported when I setup the outgoing server. I had the same set up in 3.0 and it worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] buckeyenwv:
I'm having the same problem. It is not connecting my smtp on my work email with 3.1 and it didn't do this with 3.0
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
There is definitely a problem with the built in pop3 email in 3.1. I have exactly the same problem and the same message and havent been able to fix it yet. I think its a bug with the latest Honeycomb update.

Fortunately the Market is your saviour as there are several good email apps that work fine such as K-9 Mail (free) and Kaiten Mail (pay for app but very good).

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Beretta93:
In smtp config, wipe your pre-filled login/password fields, then uncheck authentification request box, then press next. It should work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bitbitbit:
I tried that many times. No go. That worked in 3.0 but not 3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Works perfectly thank you mate :D

On the smtp (outgoing settings) screen make sure the "require sign-in" is ticked. Then delete all text from the username and password lines so they are blank. Now untick "Require sign-in" and click on Next. Also make sure the port is correct for your server.

Mark.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bitbitbit:
It actually works. My bad. I thought unchecking the box is enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Yes I thought exactly the same thing but apparently you need to clear all the fields aswell. At least it works now which means I cant find a single thing wrong with 3.1 :D

The folks at Mugen are giving out free samples of their products in return for a promise to review it. I would like to mention that I am in NO WAY affiliated with these guys and this review will be non-biased

Click here for the video on YouTube

These are just the initial thoughts of the battery ($80) and the dock/cradle ($23) they sent out. I will be posting a video review and also maybe a text review for these products in the coming weeks

So far, with a fully charged battery, I was able to play Plants vs Zombies for over an hour and the battery meter shows that I still have 89% left. It will take a few charge cycles for the battery to calibrate correctly and the full review will be posted soon

Hope this helps :)

[Nexus One Accessories] android01:
So where is the link to those free samples?
[Nexus One Accessories] uoY_redruM:
...that's exactly what I was thinking.
[Nexus One Accessories] RogerPodacter:
Are you rooted? If so could you do a favor and use our battery app to pull the values out of the chip inside your mugen battery so we can check it out?
[Nexus One Accessories] chetanthaker:
@RogerPodacter I'm sorry I'm a noob at understanding all what you said - But I took screenshots

Let me know if you are looking at something specific.

Note that this is the 2nd time I've charged my battery and has not been calibrated yet (I think)
[Nexus One Accessories] chetanthaker:
@uoY_redruM and @android01

They had a campaign running on twitter to request for samples in return for a review on XDA and a blog. They delivered the battery and cradle within 2 weeks of speaking with them. They're also sending me a replacement for the cracked back cover and they dispatched it within a day of posting the video on YouTube :)
[Nexus One Accessories] RogerPodacter:
No prob you posted exactly what I needed. It seems mugen is the only manufacturer that consistently sells properly programmed batteries thanks to our app there. So I'm gonna get one of the mugen 1600 I think. Even some seido are not correct.

This is useful knowledge for your future phones too when you buy new batteries.

What app is that you're using to get the battery information?

what controller?

obviously using a wired controller? or are you using standard controller with the usb charging cable? did you try and OG xbox controller?

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mseliga:
I'd be interested to see if works through the dock to see if its a driver issue or an issue using an adapter through the charging cable. Does the charge port output any power?

Are the lights on the controller on or off?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] RMXO:
Lights are on when plugged in. I will have to try it with an USB3 cable tonight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SoCalTiger:
Wait... this is still not clear from your answers. Are you using:

A) Wireless X360 controller attached to USB via the Plug and Play charge kit

B) Wired X360 controller

If you are using A, you cannot communicate to the device via the USB connection. That is for

charging only

. No control signals can pass to the controller using that connection.

If you are using B there should be no cable to replace since the wired controller is hardwired.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] neok44:
to my understanding, only a true wired 360 controller will work. the wireless through plug and play or windows dongle will not work. i can attest to that as i've tried both with no luck.

The windows wireless dongle works on rhe xoom. I don't see why it doesn't work on my asus

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elythor:
So I have flashed my phone firmware from KE1 to KE7 using Odin. However, I notice the Swype languages is missing a few languages I had back in KE1....noticeably the lack of Japanese. Before the update I really liked using japanese input for Swype rather than Simeji.

My phone is a UK unlocked version from Handtec so the CSC should be unchanged from stock ie XEUKD1.

Does anyone know what I'd need to do to get the languages back again??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio_:
the CSC for KE1 and KE7 were the same so it should be included if it was there orignally. i did just notice that the stock keyboard has the option of 30 languages but the swype keyboard only has 28. maybe on have a check if it is on your normal keyboard and not the swype one.

if all else fails:

http://www.nerdnirvana.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/japan-keyboard.png
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elythor:
No it doesn't show up on the Samsung keyboard either. But I did make the same observation as you that the language list under Samsung keyboard is different than that of Skype.

I suspect that the first batch of SG2 (which I got) had a different Swype language library. And during KE7 updates the library is updated and now it is gone.

My current Swype version is: 2.70.75.22981.22983.663.OXX

I wonder if the OXX text in the back designate a language library?

model GT-P1000

firmware 2.2

baseband version P1000JXJK2

kernel version 2.6.32.9 root(a)mea04 # 1

build number froyo.jpjk2

(also can anyone tell me what these firmware version mean like is it like moded already or do i have the original os for it?)

sorry for my noobness... :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Firstly how does not been able to install appbrain stop you from downloading anything from market?

Second, what do you mean you cant install it, Have you got the apk file? what happens when you run the installer?

Third, please use descriptive titles for topics, What you wrote does not describe this topic.

If you want help you need to give more detail, Nobody reads minds here.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackheart2925:
Am assuming yours a GSM tab.

firmware tells you are running Froyo 2.2

Build number tells you what FRoyo ROM firmware you have I.e. JK2...this basically gives the date of the current build and the build version for your location/country...

Baseband tells you which modem you have in this JK2 modem

All the above basically means its on stock firmware not modded.

For not able to download from the market...do the following...go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Tap on ALL running applications, scroll down and tap on Market. In the Application Info page which opens up, tap on clear data and restart your phone...hopefully it should now work.

Appbrain no idea...btw appbrain is not the same as google market...

answer to your first question... my gmail account does not detect my galaxy tab as a device or for some reason isn't getting synced.. although when i created my new gmail account it showed the round sign which you get when it is being synced with.. but whenever i go to the android market and log in... it doesn't detect my galaxy tab and says there are no device synced with my gmail account... and because of that i can't install any softwares ...

secondly ... no i don't have the apk file since when ever i try to download it... i get that error message..

thirdly.. i apologize for my messed up english and i wasn't trying to look cool with my post.. or anything.. i am not from usa or uk so my english is not upto the mark like you guys and i am so sorry for that.. please tell me my mistakes and i will try to overcome them from now on.. again i am so sorry for the trouble..

and my thread tittle was meant to be "hi i am new xda devs forum and i always wanted to be in it but i didn't have the proper gadget for it all this time but now i am able to afford one android after so long and i am facing a problem with my samsung galaxy tab as i know nothing about it.. so i want to know is it jailbreaked or did i get the real thing ... and secondly i cannot download anything from the android market ... is it because i don't know how to do it?? or is it because i can't sync my gmail account with it?? cause when ever i want to sign in it says my device is not synced with my gmail account.."

besides if i don't need appbrain.. could you tell me the procedure to download from the android market??
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
So you sign in with you gmail account but it doesn't sync anything? Go to accounts & sync and see what is syncing. Doesn't make sense that it says there isn't a device synced with your account.

Never heard of this problem before. Only similar issue i've heard like this is after syncing some paid apps don't show in to market, not that it doesn't work at all..

And regarding downloading from the market. Open it up, choose your app, download it. ;)

And your Tab is molded because it says 'root' in your kernel info but it sounds like you're running a stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdaMathijs:
Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.
