Yes, i have a 3year old boy and i have one movie on my Xoom, it's Cars :) Good for me that my son only wants to watch one movie all the time.

I personally don't watch movies at all, thats probably the reason why i don't care for sdcard slot, for everything else it's not needed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freonix:
Hard for me to the microSD debacle. My stances is: if you got so many movies in your tablet, you may want to rethink about your life.

Aside from transferring photos to and fro from camera, microSD or any external storage is just as good as internal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KING SKILLZ:
Don't see why its so difficult to understand each other's strong personal preference for an sd card or not. Doesn't make someone wrong or indicate they have no life because they store movies! Anyways I was hoping for an sd card just so flashing will be easy/what I'm used to. Concerned more about customization than storage.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ky0nkyon:
for me personally, I'm not more than a day away from my computer ever, so the sd slot is not that big of a deal for me, as I can swap movies daily. it would be nice to just have a slot than have an umbilical cord hanging out all the time though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
yeah I agree with what lots of people are saying about why they don't need an sd card or why they do.

The basic fact is that it CAN fit and there are photo's pasted on the web showing it in place. Why wouldn't they just include it - whether people are going to use it or not - if it's there then they have a choice and mobile computing is ALL about choices.

My girlfriend and her sister are tech dumb people and yet they know the benefits of having microSD - instead of waiting an hour to transfer their songs to their cell phones over blue tooth they can just pop the microSD into a computer copy all their songs and pics and themes etc and bambOOOO they have them on their phones.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Problem is with the "official" Android Honeycomb from Google.

It does not support USB storage, not yet. It came from Google developer them self.

Read here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075363&highlight=sd+card

Sure, this kind of SD card support can be added by changing the Android Honeycomb kernel (we call it hack) as shown with ASUS TF or Xoom custom kernel.

But as you might know, Xoom officially still does not have the SD card slot activated. Even Xoom owners do not know when it will be activated. They keep asking and asking, and Motorola just silent, no word.

So, if you are Samsung, what would you do?

1. Add the SD Card slot and the hack on Honeycomb like ASUS?

2. Add the SD Card slot and make it non-functional like Xoom?

3. Don't add the SD Card slot

IF choose no. 1, risk for being incompatible with the future Android Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich, because it could be Google solution is not USB file system, they want to hide the file system structure from user while this is not possible with USB file system (the OS has access to block level!). Evidence is the new MTP to access the internal storage. Thus, choosing no. 1 will complicate thing and probably DELAY the software update which people hate it so much.

IF choose no. 2, see Xoom forums. Owners are complaining and cursing, asking When the SD card slot will be activated? The risk is reputation, Xoom owners even vow to not buy Motorola product again. And this is big deal for manufacturer (reputation).

IF choose no. 3, it is not complicated. Just scrap it out completely. This has been done before, see Android phone without SD card. Even Google Nexus S itself does not have it. "Some" people will still love it and buy it, but some people will not.

So, apparently Samsung choose no. 3.

It is better because it will not complicate future Android upgrade.

It is better because Samsung does not need to defend their reputation for putting non-working hardware.

It is better because SOME (a lot of) users will still buy it.

It is bad because SOME (not a lot of) users will not buy it (users who want SD Card badly).

Even better because Samsung still offers accessories to access SD card.

And even MORE BETTER because Samsung can create future product with Android Ice Cream Sandwich AND SD CARD slot!

That's what I think from Samsung perspective.

Now, stop your energy for arguing the importance of SD card.

We all know that ...

We all might want that ...

It is nice to have ...

But, the fact and the truth is it does NOT have SD card slot.

IT DOES NOT ...

There is nothing you can do with this Galaxy Tab 10.1 SD Card availability.

So, deal with it and use your energy for something else useful instead of arguing this :)

Repeat after me ... "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not have SD card slot"

Repeat after me again ... this time louder please ...

Repeat after me again ... end with hand clapping *clap*clap*clap*

Feel better?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
gogol: sorry, but I do not buy it... Transformer and Iconia do have a working slot without any hacks, rooting and other "magic" :-). I suppose Samsung (sorry for word I do not mean it is wrong) copy Apple idea of how to sell more accessories. I do understand it but it does not make me happy. Adding micro SD slot to GT 10.1 would not affect price of the unit that much that Samsung will loose cash on every single device and even people who say "I do not need it, I don't care" would not complain about it - " Oh no, GT 10.1 has micro SD slot - I am not buying it now".

So having a slot on the unit would not put anyone off buying one... not having it on the unit may do it for some... true or not?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
The "hack" on ASUS or ACER was done by the manufacturer, not the user.

Owner would not know it.

Thats the hack I was referring to.

Read the pcworld article where the google engineer said? No USB support on Honeycomb yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Ok... but what difference it makes to any of the Transformer user? NONE :-)

As long as it works I do not car if hack/patch was done by Google, Asus or God himself.

And please do not take it personally

but conclusion of what your're saying is - Samsung is not that good at programming and not capable to patch the system in a way to make an sd slot working (which of course is false). So no officiial support from the system for the slot is (in case of Android) not a valid reason not to include it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Are you kidding me? Samsung is more than capable of adding that kind of hack, no doubt. But they choosed not to.

The problem might be in FUTURE update of Android, not now.

All in all, it has been done, decision has been made.

It is time to move on ... Forget it, there is nothing you can do to add sd card slot internally in gt 10.1 ....

Nothing ...

No matter how hard and loud your vocal is in any forum post, that wont change that missing sd card slot.

Still not convinced ?

Dont worry, i have never took this kind of discussion personally. It is fun to share my thought and see how people react. Same to you, dont take this personally or seriously :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I said so myself up there :-)

I am more than capable of making a hack with the hacksaw - just send me you GT 10.1 and you will have all the ports and vents you want :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Hahaha ...

Here is an idea for you, why don't you make some kind of online petition to have SD card support on this GT 10.1?

That would be fun ... :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I suppose it would be as efficient as blowing on the SUN to shut it down :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freonix:
This thread is getting funnier each day...lulz...

The microSD is not there because Sam needs to fit other more important things into the thin profile tab, e.g. a large battery pack? I'm just saying.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hshah:
I for one am waiting for this device purely because of the form factor. Having an microSD slot, for it to make my breakfast and iron all my clothes would be great but not vital. What I am disappointed about is that we are going to have to wait for a 32GB version :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] francis1987:
I May be fairly ignorant to the whole android coding world.. But once root is established.. Isnt mounting an SD card similar to what you would do to mount any partition in a linux type environment; like isnt this the whole opensource android model?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
With Sammy it is exactly opposite as it is with asus.

I have decided to go with Transformer... but 32Gb ver is out there, no 3G and and no 16Gb which I want (+dock) :-)

It is almost as each manufacturer knows what will be the most pupular version of the tab on each market and this one comes last :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dcc22:
Samsung somewhere said those pics were a mistake.

Here the data from Samsung Germany:

http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...T-P7500UWDDBT/detail.aspx?atab=specifications

no sdcard, no 1,2ghz
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] teegunn:
I just bought a Transformer w dock at best buy yesterday.... typing this post w it, albeit with LOTS of keyboard/browser lag....... anyway, i actually liked the Samsung 10.1 better, except for lack of ports and most important, no micro SD slot. BIG mistake by Samsung to not include an SD slot.
[HD2 General] CyberWolf1994:
I flashed my T-mobile HD2 to WP7 Custom ROM v1.01.00 but decided to flash it back to win mobile 6.5 using World Wide English (WWE) 1.66.405.2 rom . When the flash to windows mobile 6.5 completed , instead of booting to windows 6.5 the screen turned black .

i have tried to turn on my fone but to no avail .When i connect my phone to my PC it recognizes it as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.

Any suggestions as to what happened and what i can do ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the radio included in that rom (and indeed the radio in EVERY non-tmous stock rom except the 3.14 rom) has destroyed your radio partition and you can now only fix it by JTAG. If you have warranty, you can use that, since teh phone will not start so they can't tell what you did.
[HD2 General] CyberWolf1994:
Thx for the quick reply, so you sure there's nothing else i can do?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea, it was very common back when the tmous was first released, and theres never been any succesfull unbrick except JTAGging it.

(Just to confirm, you do mean the american T-mobile one, right? says t mobie on the front? green send key?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteGR:
Hello people!

Have searched the forums and also tried googling but have not found a certain, conclusive answer to my question.

The question is when do we have to wipe the cache and dalvik cache?

I know what to wipe when flashing a new ROM but what about radios, RILs and kernels? What do we have to wipe when flashing the above so as for the phone to run optimally? Before or after flashing them?

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriodLover:
Developers of the rom will tell if a full wipe is needed , if your updating. If your coming from another rom, you need to perform a full wipe.

No wipe required when flashing radio, Ril and kernel.

If you are going to perform a wipe you do it before you flash anything.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteGR:
You mean you don't even have to wipe battery stats when flashing a new Radio?

I thought otherwise but I am not certain...

Anyway, thanks for answering :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriodLover:
As far as I know you don't need to, the only time bat sat are recommended to be wiped is when flashing a rom and you have battery issues. But others say wiping battery sat doesn't really help with battery..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteGR:
Ok thanks for the info!

[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Doubtful. The NoDo update that came preinstalled on the phone plugged the holes that Chevron exploited.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
why would u want to downgrade such a great OS on a great device? u can unlock it by purchasing a developer unlock for $99 or free via dreamspark if ur a college student.
[HTC 7 Pro] kennymase:
well im waiting for geotrust to email me back... its been about 13 hours now... lol

i already have a dreamspark account and a apphub account. I just didn't think it would take this long, but i'll wait it out.. its worth it
[HTC 7 Pro] Scorepion2k:
I assume he would want to downgrade to WM 6.5 for a similar reason I would... and that is to unlock and tether using an Energy ROM. WOuld this be possible?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Hello wonderful sgs4g community, i hope you are all excited about all our new stuff as i am. Anyways now that drhonk has built ext4 into our kernel we can now go ahead and do SOME ext4 mods. here is the guide on how to create an ext4 partition so that you can use the link2sd app so:

A:you can have an ext4 sdcard filesystem

B: create more internal space for your apps(takes away even more bloat)

Here is what you will need:

A computer

MICRO ADAPTER or USB CABLE to plug into the computer

drhonks new 2.1 bali kernel

mini tool partition wizard(or any other program that does this) you can find it here: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button

link2sd apk you can find that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326

Now go ahead and mount your sdcard to computer with the micro adapter

go into mini tool and click on your sdcard

press move/resize

go ahead and resize from 256mb 512mb or 1g off from your original size

THE UNALLOCATED WILL BE THE SIZE OF YOUR NEW PARTITION

now go to the unallocated amount and press create partition

make sure that you do ext4 and make sure it is PRIMARY not logical!!!

press apply!

bam you go ext4

now put your sdcard back in and go to link2sd

it will tell you to go into recovery and mount your sdcard

sooooo

go into cwm and go to mounts and storage then make sure you have your sdcard say UNMOUNT

reboot

go back into link2sd and click ext4 when it pops up,

NOW move all the files THAT ARE NOT SYSTEM FILES(which it wont let you do anyways) and your all done

afterwards you should have from 375mb to 440mb of free internal space

have fun :D

Thanks to:

Fknfocused for pushing me to do this

drhonk for the kernel ext4 patch

wizard(i saw he did the link2sd first so i decided to do it)

and the rest of the community for being awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Thanks brotha! im doing this right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
lemme know if i missed something or, something went wrong :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
ok will do, did I need to assign a drive letter for this partition? it just defaulted to *
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i just named my ext4 im not sure if it matters
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
got it, thanks again. should i stay away from linking widgets? does it break like moving the app to SD?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
it doesnt effect app2sd and to be honest you dont need app2sd after you do this trick, and im not positive about widgets i think they might be safe though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
Uhh thank you for posting my name there )) well it works ... if you guys want and know how to use linux u can do it from there too ... if anyone needs help ley me know ...

Link2sd is only way I thought off to check if kernel mounts ext4 ...damn glad about that faulks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mopar2ltr:
EXT4

I used ubuntu and gparted inserted the mini sd into the adaptor created the partitions then placed it back into the phone and ran links2sd worked like a champ did that this am your way seems easier good write up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
thanks brotha i appreciate it!

and thanks for briefly explaining the ubuntu way of doing it :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
Its easier with linux as windows doednt have support for ext
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
im sure, windows can be a pain! but thats why minitool is needed :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
Dunno man I ditched windows few years back and ain't regretting it ....using xubuntu as desktop and ubuntu.srv ,debian and centos as servers
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
ok i did something all wackey... lol for some reason i can only see 1.89 gb of my sd card on my phone and on mini tool partition it shows that i have 12 gb in fat32 and 1.89 gb unallocated. there is nothing i can figure out on how to get the two partitions of the sd card to join back together. even the minitool thinks they are two seperate devices. does anyone know what i can do to fix this and start over from the beginning? sorry guys im a linux newbie but i am having fun while learning. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
So will this work also on drhonks uv version too?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
Looks like your 12 gb is not mounted ...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Nice tutorial. @makavelicruz. ...of course. Why wouldn't it? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Ive tried mounting the sdcard from recovery and only one partition ever shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:

I get an error each time i make an unallocated partition and click 'create'.. anyone else run into this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdadev_user:
Hello,

I had a tun.ko working with FROYO, but this tun.ko module doesn't work with Gingerbread 2.3.4 anymore.

Where can I find a new tun.ko module for Gingerbread 2.3.4 (XXJVP) ?

Thanks in advice
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cwaffles:
Use Darky's rom (10.1). Works great with OpenVPN.

Check load tun kernel module using insmod

Location is /lib/modules/tun.ko

Binary is installed to /system/xbin/openvpn
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdadev_user:
Hi,

thanks for this info, but currently I'm happy with my flashed/configured phone.

Is it possible, that you or someone else post tun.ko here ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jps1974:
Don't have time right now, but I'll try to compile it for JVP tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] captive:
don't know if it works, but this is the one extracted from latest darky's rom kernel.

I'm still on 2.2.1, but you may try it and post some feedback..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jps1974:
I had a quick look, and as far as I can tell tun.ko should not be required as it should be built into the kernel in Gingerbread (that is, if you are not using a custom kernel). At least it is enabled in the kernel config that comes with the sources, can't confirm if it's actually enabled in the shipped kernel, but it should be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdadev_user:
@captive

thanks for this tun.ko, but it doens't work.

insmode tun.ko

invalid module format. Maybe this module is for 2.3.3.

@jps1974

lsmod shows me no tun device

Or can someone explain me how I can build my tun.ko ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jps1974:
That's because it's not a kernel module but built into the kernel instead. So whatever you're trying to do should, from what I understand, work without having to load any module. Anyway, here's a tun.ko that you can try.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woddi123:
my question was stupid
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdadev_user:
thanks @jps1974,

but with your tun.ko I got the same error message

Any idea, what I'm doing wrong ? With Froyo I had no problem.

A module must only be compiled for correct kernel version 2.6.35.7, or?

My Basisbandversion: I9000XXJVP

Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937

Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXJVP
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saphirrot:
sorry for my dump question, but i´ve never heard about tun.ko

can someone tell me what the **** that is ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jps1974:
Oh, so you have a JVP firmware with a JVO kernel - you neglected to mention that :)

Try the attached file.

The module must be compiled using the exact same source code that was used to build the kernel, and also in this case the version string (2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937 ...) must match exactly the kernel. I believe this is because the kernel is compiled without module versioning support, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woddi123:
Did you really need the tun.ko? I think thats compiled in the kernel and you don´t need that any more. I have vpncwidget for my vpn connection to my fritzbox.
