[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I am in Costa Rica for a week and am having in interesting problem with my phone. I purchased a local sim card and it works great, except the data seems to have odd issues. For instance, I can use Google maps just fine most anyplace I have a signal. But if I try to use the xda app, or the web browser, it doesn't work. I would think that data connections are all the same and it should work? I am using wifi at the moment and it works fine so I know it's not the programs. Any quick ideas? I am here for 4 more days. :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm5:
My first guess would be to call the provider or ask a local user for the correct APN settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I looked up the APN settings online and they are correct. It just seems odd to me that data from Google maps would work just fine over the cell side but nothing else works. I would think it's all or nothing.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm5:
Yeah. Usually if your APN is bad, all data is hosed. The provider may be selectively blocking traffic... Eg: if you're on a prepaid dumbphone+data plan, they may grant a narrow range of whitelisted urls or data providers. Not sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
What data signal does the local service provider use? The captivate's modem can only pick up signals on the 850 and 1900 bandwidths. That's why, for example 3g won't work on a captivate with a tmobile sim card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I have a widget that says I have an HSDPA connection at 7.2. I am leaning towards some kind of filter or white list on the cellular providers end. Its not to big of a problem since the place I am staying has wifi. But I would like to know the reason for sure in case I run into it again someplace. The other oddity is if I go into marketplace the items I have purchased don't show up in my apps selection. And in Google maps, I can see where I am, but the ability to share the location is greyed out unless I have wifi. Even though the satalitte image updates to wherever I might be. So the data going through is very selective.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I can also send texts to other local phones here but not mms pictures. Very unusual to be able to send/get some data but not all. I did read on another site that prepaid sim cards in Costa Ricardo don't have data but that wouldn't explain my ability to use Google maps to see where I am.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Do you have modem locked in to to one freq only?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I don't believe so. I don't think I flashed anything new since I flashed the darky rom a while ago. At home it switches from E to H which I believe is a different frequency? And I also at home have a dual sim setup swapping between att and tmo as needed. So I would think it's not locked on a frequency. I am flying home tomorrow, but I do appreciate the ideas. And maybe this thread will help someone else. :-)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
A search on Google on the subject of blocked IP addresses shows that Costa Rica ( particularly ICE ) has a known problem with being blocked by many providers. That may also be part of the problem.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azturbomini:
While viewing a "thread" my scrolling is choppy. I have deleted cache. Deleted and reinstalled the app and neither helped. It kinda acts like a web page thats still loading. Happens on wifi, 4g or 3g. This is the only app I've had this issue with.

Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelboy:
I had this issue when restoring data for the app in TB. Finally just removed it and then reinstalled from the market without restoring anything from TB and it works fine now. Had the same exact issue with Tapatalk app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azturbomini:
Good to know. I actually just deleted the app from titanium backup then downloaded it again from the market so I had a fresh install and no old data hanging around. I'll see how it goes.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aaron636r:
So, I believe I have an issue. Due to all the killer skills on this site I have officially become addicted to flashing ROMS on this G2X. It has become a real issue. Like...most nights I will wake up at 3am and make sure no one uploaded anything new. In my office (not that I work much anyways) but even my IT guy said to me today "Dude, what is up with all the almost 100mb downloads." LMAO!

Anyways...I love all you developers. You have killer gifts...keep it up!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
well, it's been pretty slow for the last couple weeks. that should send you into withdrawal. i think alot of the dev's are waiting for the official gb leak.

I have a piece of old equipment at work that i use a DOS program and a USB to serial adapter with a null modem cable to back up files off of the equipment. I installed DOS box and it runs my equipments program perfectly. Is it possible to communicate through the XOOM's USB port to my equipment using a USB to Serial adapter and null modem cable to do this with? Any help or advice would be great.

Thank You,

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroguy:
those usb to serial adapters use a Prolific chipset. Linux requires a kernel module to work with them. I suspect you'll need to build the kernel module and add a script to insmod it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonate:
My boss will gladly pay someone to get this to work. If there are any Devs that want this project contact me and we can get this going. I know i can approve 1K to make this happen.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
It can be done.

I have currently got my xoom setup so that I have a usb serial adapter connected to it for debugging purposes.

Do you know what chipset your usb to serial adaptor uses? I can then check if it is supported by the linux kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
I'm in. We'll start research. Sounds like fun.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4cksl4sh:
Sign me up too. I would love to serial into Cisco devices with my xoom.

The following pieces of information i have already:

My usb2serial Adapter uses the prolific pl-2303 chipset

it is driven by the pl2303 kernel module.

the module depends on the usbserial module, which is already in tiamat as well as stock (its needed for the 3g modem i think)

So if i am correct we need the pl-2303 kernel module and a piece of software (minicom, cu) to use the serial (as far as i know there is no software in the market for this)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4cksl4sh:
ok, i took a quick look at the tiamat git repository and it contains the pl2303 driver.

Now i am going to try to compile my own tiamat kernel :D

First time compiling linux for an android device :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmusk01:
I would love to see this happen. I have tons of Cisco swithes and routers that I always have to configure on the fly. I know I can buy a bluetooth adapter but still have to power that :-( Would love to be able to hookup my otg cable, then my usb to serial, then to my console cable to configure everything.

Just not sure how to get the usb serial drivers installed on android :-(

If this ever gets working then my IT dept. will be getting a Xoom as well.

Thanks,

Ken~
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmusk01:
Any updated news on getting this to work? Really don't want to spend $60 for a bluetooth serial adapter.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
I can try and include a few optional modules for the next tiamat release for usb serial devices :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbaroukh:
This is an old thread but in case ...

I also have to do serial communication with an old printer.

For now, I'm trying to prototype with an arduino mega using a trendnet usb to serial adapter.

I'm using the sample app on the market of this lib :

http://slickdevlabs.com/slick-usb-2-serial-library/

I actually can send and receive bytes on the xoom.

The only problem for now is that characters receive or send are not correct. I Don't understnd but still searching.

Any way, it should work ...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroguy:
install bt5 and then install minicom under bt5. The pl2303 module with the pl2303 usb serial adapter does this very well.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbaroukh:
bt5 you mean "backtrack 5" ?

I must use default rom ... My customer doesn't wan't to loose it's warranty ...

And usage of Motorola xoom is sure.

It might be another tablet.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebird92:
Had my new TF for a couple weeks now. I'm frustrated that my 18 month old Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) is better in many ways: Flash support, streaming movies, general speed, standby battery life, etc. I'll admit, my phone is rooted and running a custom ROM, but shouldn't the dual-core and additional memory on the TF make for a smoother experience? Is anyone else experiencing the same type of issues?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
To be honest, if you think your phone is better than your TF, I think you'll find that you're most likely alone in that opinion. Maybe I'm wrong tho...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xformulax:
definitely in the minority... i have a fascinate (galaxy S) and a transformer (and an iPad 1 for that matter) and the transformer absolutely screams... even pumping out a much higher screen resolution.

the latest 3.1 update has only made things better.... and you say "flash support and streaming video" as if the transformer doesnt support either, when it supports both.... HD flash plays 10x smoother on the transformer than the galaxy S.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Sounds like your phone is better than any tablet currently available.

Personally, I prefer to stare at a 10.1" screen rather than the 4.3" screen on my Evo, though my Evo does several things better than my TF. And my TF does several things better than my Evo. They compliment one another, I wasn't expecting a replacement.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
^This and the Transformer's biggest advantage over any phone would be tabbed browsing :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkd:
comparing a phone to a 10 inch tablet that has an ips screen with over 720p resolution. I mean you are kidding yourself of even comparing the two
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
nope.

the tf supports flash, can stream movies, generally speedy, and good battery life.

your phone's battery life is more likely due to your custom undervolted kernel, non-dual core cpu, and not powering a 10.1 inch screen.

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls3mach:
You aren't wrong. Also I think the Samsung Galaxy series sucks. I took my Epic back within a week. Touchwiz FTL.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xreflection:
You know that there are other alternatives to touchwiz, lol. I replaced mine with launcherpro. Was infinitely better. Galaxy S series is a good set of phones. But I'll have to agree with everyone else in the thread and disagree with the OP. Samsung Captivate is NOT better than the TF...by any means. But as mentioned before, the tablet is to compliment my phone, not replace it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xformulax:
yea, i like my galaxy S, and i've never even touched touchwiz.

i went from droid 1 to incredible (amoled) to the DX to the samsung... the samsung is my favorite by far..... of course i'm also an audiophile and i love the wolfson audio chipset, and the galaxy has the better camera of the 4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
Running darky on my galaxy i9000m, perfect (for a phone...) but the transformer wins hand down, just received the dock and it looks GREAT (still waiting for it to be fully charged :( ) well, gonna start taking notes on it starting tomorrow...

Did i say the transformer wins hand down over my phone? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swampthing1117:
I've got a galaxy S myself and since getting my tablet i find that my phone is constantly pissing me off and i keep thinking why can't my phone be more like my tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
We all know Asus' solution to this predicament...PadPhone

Back on topic, I'm not sure what you mean when you say your captivate is better in the flash department? My TF runs flash just as well as my Evo (as they are using the same 10.3 build hacked for hulu) My battery life on Primordial 3.1 is just as good as my tablet in terms of life, as a matter of fact because I use the TF now i suppose you can say that the Evo has been getting better battery life as it hasn't really been in use at all.

In terms of smoothness, running Primodial 3.1 vs CM7 nightlies + Tiamat, the tablet slows down occasionally where i would stutter on the evo. I have a feeling this is due to the apps themselves not being optimized to utilize two cores, its the same deal with computers where even if you have a 8-core cpu it won't matter if the software can't take advantage of it. On the homescreens, running the same widgets an both on launcherpro, the transformer consistenty stays smooth while the evo would occasionally slow down.

Compared to my friends' Epics, the transformer is just as smooth, which leads to my confusion as to why it would seem your phone is better than your tablet, nevermind that one isn't meant to replace the other.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I think I get what he is saying. To me Android 2.3 is more mature, feels more stable, optimized and faster. While Android 3.0 is basically new, rushed, less stable, far from optimized, and just doesn't feel as responsive.

I don't really blame Google for rushing Honeycomb out the door. They needed something more tailored for a tablet and Apple was just owning the entire tablet market for an entire year.

And while Android 3 still feels pretty rough, I certainly welcome it's new features and tablet friendly feel over Android 2.3, so I'm okay sacrificing a bit of stability and speed. And Android 3.x will also get better over time too.

Also think the big 1280x800 screen probably slows some aspects of it down too, versus the 800x480 screen on the Galaxy S phone.

Hopefully the Transformer gets Android Ice Cream Sandwich later this year. I think that'll be a big improvement over Honeycomb. As now Google doesn't really have to rush that out the door as urgently and can make sure it's done right.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffreywolter:
I've always kind of assumed they kept Honeycomb closed source because it's a bit of a hack job and they didn't want anyone to see how messy their apartment is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebird92:
Definitely not saying the phone is better overall. I love the TF for the keyboard dock, large screen and battery life, I am just disappointed that flash websites seem slow and that the TF loses so much battery in standby. For example, the phone loss the XDA site (desktop version) twice as fast as the TF. Just seems strange.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebird92:
It seems like everyone else is having no slowdown problems like I am experiencing on flash sites. Hopefully the upgrade to 3.1 will improve things. Thanks you for your insightful reply.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebird92:
Thank you, that is basically what I was saying. Still love my TF though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singlebyte:
My Galaxy S (custom rom) runs great compared to my rooted tf101. Right now almost every benchmark I run, the samsung galaxy out performs. To give you an idea, quadrant on my vibrant is running over 2300 as compared to 1500 on tf101. Frame rates are also better. (btw, I know about quadrants flaws...so save it) Linpack results are better on the tab..but not by much. As mentioned before, it is probably because the os and rom have been tweaked with every known hack. As this tablet matures and developers have the time to optimize the performance I bet this thing will fly. It is just very rough out the door but I am real happy with my transformer. I guess I know what the potential it has going for it. for those looking for a nice refined tablet, the ipad2 is very sweet. I'm not really an Apple fan, but it is a great product. Now only if the jailbreak will come out for the ipad2!

(BTW, I am looking forward to getting a galaxy s ll dual core shortly!!)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
You're comparing apples to oranges with a tool that's not great at comparing apples or oranges in the first place. Quadrant/Linpack aren't a valid measurement between two different devices. The best they can be used for is comparing your own device against itself after changing things / tinkering.

Either way, I am more than happy with the performance of my TF and I am totally unrooted and unmodified. There's really very little I even use my phone for any more, besides as a phone.. Flash runs well, my battery live is actually surprisingly great. To be honest, when I first read the initial post I thought it was a joke.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buri73:
This only thing my Fascinate is MUCH better than TF(or tegra2) is native codec support. Fascinate has no problem playing back just about any codec/container I throw at it. I was a bit disappointed at TF/HC/Tegra2 because of that aspect, but everything else just about kick butt over the phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knx2:

Stream movies? From where?

My Transformer seems pretty darn speedy. Menus are fast, etc etc.

Standby battery time? I tested standby battery time over the past few days. I didn't plug it in for three days and then it finally gave me the low battery alert at 15% with occasional use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Note that Samsung frequently add additional container support (AVI,MKS) to their devices as a value-add and the powerVR GPU's have more robust codec support than the Tegra2

I found an app that lets you easily make and receive phone calls thru your Google Voice Number. (assuming you have data connection)

GrooVe IP

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gvoip&feature=search_result

I tried it and it works great... even works with the Flyer in speakerphone mode.

Its $3.99 in the Market... and may be worth it for some. Especially if you want to multitask on your Flyer or are oversears.

If you dont have a Google Voice Number, they are free.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
Thanks for the tip.

And how does the mic on the flyer works for calls? Do you have speak close to the device?

Do people say they hear echo if you speak with them without a headset?

Edit: nevermind. I got it working
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crackeyes:
How so I could use some help setting everything up

Edit Never mind I got it set up but to help out others

1)set up Google voice

2 install app

3 On Gmail you have to install the video chat plugin for your browser. Once you do this go to google voice

4 on GV go to voice settings under the gear icon

5 set up to forward to GTalk

6 Sign on on the phone

7 THERE YOU GO.

I tested on 3g/4g and on Wifi and it works great when you have a strong internet
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Russellhi:
How exactly did you forward calls to gtalk?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crackeyes:
you have to install the browser plugin first then once its installed hit the call button in GMail and make a test call. Once this is done go to google voice and hit the gear icon and hit the calls tab, then the option for Gtalk should show up

did you get it to work? with the view im trying the flyer method with the view but i dunno...

edit... this actually works just had to fiddle a bit in google voice and afterwards was not getting incoming calls to work figured maybe i should log out of gv on my computer and bammm evo view started getting the calls so make sure to log out of google voice otherwise thats where the calls will go first before actually going to the tab.......great job guys made my evo tab just friggin more awesome....

now if they would find a way to root flyer,view would be bonus....
