If you have a netbook, the angles are most likely the same and you could use that as a baseline. There's one angle that's very bad and that's the one that shows up when you are looking at it from an angle, when it's flat on a table (unfortunately). You can sometimes get around this issue by actually flipping the device upside down, but not all apps will support that - ie. Angry Birds is one that I know is hard coded and is not g-sensor aware.
[G Tablet General] Raleran:
Hmmm so you're saying if I'm sitting at the table looking down at it (say 60 degree angle) I'm going to have difficulty reading it? Are there any low cost stands for it that you know of?

Well, this woot sale caused a spike in visitors volume to my website. Hopefully, this time around we won't have as many cries of anguish from newbies as we did last time.
[G Tablet General] jmeridith:
get a gtablet stand/case off of one of the threads in the accessories forum. I really only like using my gtab in landscape mode. I paid 375 for mine and still feel like that is a steal for what you get.....as long as you mod it that is. Thanks to the dev's
[G Tablet General] HostileJava:
I purchased one yesterday. Can't wait to get it. Tired of sharing my Droid X with the wife and kids.
[G Tablet General] midnightslide:
I've been extensively using mine ever since I picked it up. Oddly enough, with G-Harmony installed, my G-Tab feels faster than my father's Galaxy Tab 10.1. In fact, he is a little upset that he spent so much money on his tab, and only has the lighter weight, the added memory, and a better screen to show for it! :D

The only problem that I have had is the android.process.acore curse, which was quickly resolved by going to settings and clearing my contact storage data.
[G Tablet General] kdelisle:
LOL - I got mine off woot the last time they sold it (argh for 269...) anyway...having worked at modding my htc hd2, i was willing to give it a go - it was tough because a LOT of info is very scattered. for the hd2, most of it is centered in one forum. I flashed a ROM right before a business trip and then bricked it almost instantly - without sufficient separate computer support and high speed internet - you could hear the gnashing of teeth two states over.

However, I now have BoS on mine - but I've had some issues, so I'm still on that steep learning curve - there are more "moving parts" to the tablet than there were on my phone.

My thanks to Roebeet for his work and posts.

Please any mod pin this thread, so it can be used as backup, I also hope my couple of hours taking work won't be lost.
[HTC Sensation] override182:
i advice u to remove that account info and password otherwise ppl will copy, dump it or even abuse it.. that account will be flagged as abused upon multi IP anyway..

someone would make a mirror or it so no need to post ur account info i guess
[HTC Sensation] blueeyeblue:
Don't worry my friend, this acc isn't mine, I'm not so curious to give my acc details.
[HTC Sensation] ringrover:
and how i can use it with s-on phone ???
[HTC Sensation] blueeyeblue:
You can't yet :/ Wait for devs to crack the hBoot or an OTA update..

It's just master backup of all files regarding root of DHD and Sensation..

Secret menu 1809#*999#

Is there a place that tells you what all these setting do.

I found a FM test did not work for me. Did anyone get this to work. Is there a way to see if the hardware is there to support FM radio.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
It's already been discovered and talked about many times.. just gotta do a search on the forum. It's called hiddenmenu..
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
I bought this device recently and noticed that when taking pictures with applications i get distorted pictures with stripes. But when using built-in application for taking pictures, everything is normal.

Please take a look at picture below:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Nice curtains!....where did you get them?? :D

Afraid that this doesn't happen to me, what do you mean by "taking pictures with applications?" I only use the camera application.
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
Smart Measure and Little Photo are applications i used so far and found same problem in both. Something tells me other applications will be no different.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Have the same problem sometimes... like in that program that makes the people fat :P
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Open your camera app, go into settings, and turn off wide screen picture aspect ratio. Exit camera app.

Now when you use other applications does it still do this?
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
Tried that, tried turning features off, changing ISO etc. but all this did nothing.
[HTC Desire S] Tuptup:
Same problem here. Some other camera apps work though.
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
Have you tried booting in safe mode and seeing if there is any difference?
[HTC Desire S] bleach1:
What? and how do you do that exatly?:rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I believe it's CTRL + ALT + DEL :)

lol. Sorry couldn't resist! Not sure what you mean by safe mode. Do you mean recovery?
[HTC Desire S] ronin-1:
yep same here! When using the FatBooth App i get the curtains. But when using the standard photo app it's all ok. Also tried a lower resolution and the widescreen off, no difference...
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
Safe Mode did not help, will wait for HTC's response. Also there was one picture that looked normal when i was browsing gallery, but when i tapped on it to view it in full screen the "curtains effect" appeared. Weird...

[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Version 2.0.1.11053_99

Probably more of the same .

This needs a complete rewrite to match other Smartphone products its a big let down for Samsung users .

[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
it's a update to enable the 2.3.4 update! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00431:
I was thinking that myself psp888 but I'm not too confident on that.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
For some reason my says that already has the latest version which is 2.0.0.11044_11. Well it is not for some reason, it is for Kies reason..
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Done the update and plugged in my phone (KE7) on the off chance of a further firmware upgrade but still states it's the latest one.

But it did connect to the phone right away which normally never happens.
[Galaxy S II General] steviewonders:
Updated Kies but no new firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] HarryRag:
In the SGS days (not that long ago) a new version of Kies was often just a few days before some nice new firmware releases.

Keeping the hope up, but we'll see..........
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
wht abt this ...

Version i Just Checked 2.0.1.11053_66_6.. in Samsung India Site
[Galaxy S II General] Doopliss:
Got the update, although I haven't been using Kies so I'm not sure why I bothered.
[Galaxy S II General] dudi1986:
just updated !! still slow as ever!!

instilled new drivers, and added autoscan if im not wrong
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
The new Kies wan't recognize my SGS2? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Eddiedk:
Well... it now wants to add my contacts from my pc, and it starts with the add contacts-window. Contacts is also added in the sidebar.

[Galaxy S II General] JKM2247:
Just upgraded my Kies and on connecting my SGS, my phone has supposedly got the latest firmware, so this upgrade does not come with a new firmware
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No its a program update not firmware .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
Just installed the update as well. KIES still says that my current firmware version (KE2) is the latest...
[Galaxy S II General] antisp1n:
Can someone post a link pls? My Kies won't update
[Galaxy S II General] a67543210:
2.3.4 does not require a kies update for it to be downloaded or installed. Kies uses a specific protocol to communicate with your phone. Update is usually to add features or speed up things, improvements etc.
[Galaxy S II General] JKM2247:
I thought that for those like me still not ready to root their devices can only update to 2.3.4 can only do so through Kies or go to a Samsung service center, or is there any other means?
[Galaxy S II General] RichardM5422:
My Kies bugs out every time I try to update, says the internet is not connected.

It also downloads more files than it is expected whilst retrying internet connection (eg. 54000/40000 KB).

Can anyone post a link to directly download the install file instead of using the update feature?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Their is no 2.3.4 update

You dont need to root to update .

Kies is the central server for branded product updates . When the phones supplier updates the firmware its on Kies . Note its a when and if not now and must .

Alternative means are via stock firmware and \Odin .This may affect warranty from the original seller but would still be valid through Samsung .

Rooting voids warranty full stop .

Thanks for an update!
[Galaxy S II General] mancuk29:
still buddy as hell .. just slightly off the subject i copied over files to my memory card using my computer .... instead of kies ... they didnt copy over correctly any idea's ??? had to format the memory card via the phone and use buggy kies very annoying (im on windows 7)

also will kies work with windows 7 64 bit as im thinking of re doing my operating system and changing over to 64 bit to give it more speed ???

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
Kies doesn't deliver only branded product updates. It delivers firmware-updates for unbranded devices as well.

No, the rooting itself doesn't affect warranty in any way!

Because this is only a software-modification which can be achieved very easy

(and can be removed very easy as well).

If they wouldn't agree to let us root the device, they just would have fully locked

it...
[Galaxy S II General] JKM2247:
I have tried to enter Samsung pages for different countries through samsung.com/countryselection.do# and in all the ones I have gone to only the older version, Kies_2.0.1.11053_66_6 is available for download. I guess the new one will be available later so at present only KIES can upgrade itself
[Galaxy S II General] kaassema:
Just updated Kies... Still refuses to show updates for my SGS2 with Lite'ning ROM 1.5... It's still jealous ;)
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
Solved: Kies wan't recognise my SGS2

* SGS2 not connected with PC

* Settings > Wireless&Wifi > USB Tools > Connect USB mass storage to PC > Connect with PC >

* Message: "Connect USB cable". Do that! > Connect USB Storage

>>> Now you can see your SGS2 storage in Explorer <<<<

* Remove the cable as instructed

:)
[Galaxy S II General] croftyboy8:
Dont forget guys that KIES is the same software for most Samsung phones.

I have 3 handsets in my house ranging from my SGSII to a cheap £20 PAYG. All phones come with the same CD and same version of KIES.

Updating KIES should not be an indicator that a FW update is imminent for just our handset!
[Galaxy S II General] Eddiedk:
I'm running KIES on a Windows 7 64 bit - no problems. On a XP SP3 32 bit - buggy as hell, and cant update phone - so it depends A LOT on the pc...

New Kies is giving me a firmware upgrade notification:

PDA: KF3, Phone: KE4, CSC: KF3(INU)

Old?
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
Def Old modem, new PDA perhaps since there are two KF3.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I downloaded and installed the latest version 2.0.1.11053_66 than I get a notification an update is available 2.0.1.11053_99, so I run the update (both using kies as root and as regular user) but when I start kies as a regular user I am still on 2.0.1.11053_66 whereas when I start it as root I am on 2.0.1.11053_99
[Galaxy S II General] rahuln:
Firmware upgrade after Kies update

Yup. I also received firmware update from

PDA:KE8 / PHONE:KE2 / CSC:KE2 (INU)

To

PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KF3 (INU)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
??????? are you quoting the Android file signature here 2.0.1.11053_66

That is not a firmware number that is a signature .

PDA:KF3 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KF3 Is a Firmware KF3 with KE4 modem and KF3 CSC .

Well I've installed the KIES and according to it, no firmware updates available. Phone is unbranded fyi.

Firmware updates are decided by product code if the supplier has updated firmware to Kies and codes match you get an update .

KE2 is latest for a lot of UK networks .

[Galaxy S II General] connectandroid:
Well i updated kies and it said my Australian Optus S2 has an update from KE2 to KE7 so tried it last night but it said download file had a problem at 57% and asked me to download again which i cancelled.

I so unplugged S2 and left it it till this morning to try again, and when i started the update again, it started at 70% mark decompressing binary or something and updated my S2 from KE2 to KE7.

Any ideas what happened between 57% and 70% ?
[Galaxy S II General] jonsmith709:
I had a similar problem, the only way i sorted it was to do a fresh instal of kies...hope this helps :-)

[G Tablet Android Development] jdkelley53:
Same here using 1.2 BL & CW.
[G Tablet Android Development] MicroChip:
The usual asserts error, expecting HARMONY as system type. Also, are those the right GAPPS, or should it be gapps-gb-20110613?

MC
[G Tablet Android Development] Mantara:
Disabling assert doesn't get this installed. Was really hoping for an rc1 for 1.2...
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
This is the 2.3.4 Google Apps with the new Google Talk with Voice & Video... the one you noted is the 2.3.3 Google Apps... this was created using the official GRJ22 firmware...
[G Tablet Android Development] craigacgomez:
And for those having problems with the asserts, try removing the assert line (the line mentioned below) from the update-script in the ROM zip...

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "harmony" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "harmony" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "harmony" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "smb_a1002" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "smb_a1002" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "smb_a1002");

I've managed to set up CM7.1 RC1 on both the BL1.1 & BL1.2 after removing the above line.
[G Tablet Android Development] MicroChip:
I didn't try it but have in the past and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work because changing that line makes the rom fail md5 test if I recall?

Check with zyhong, he's packaged 1.1 CM for 1.2 bl successfully. Wish somebody would write up how to do it, I'd do it myself.

Thanks!

MC
[G Tablet Android Development] Papa Midnight:
+1 for me.

This results in an immediate "Installation Aborted" error for me - sans the "assert failed" notice.
[G Tablet Android Development] aasoror:
First, Thanks for your efforts, but just like the several other threads created for the same topic (with its slight variations) this need to be moved to General section.

The development section is kept for those ROMs developed by the XDA contributors.

Strange, I thought it was 2.3.4 too.

That said, does video chat work on your tablet ?!
[G Tablet Android Development] zyhong:
I have put an instruction on the second post of my GB for BL1.2 post, and someone in slatedroid have successfully build the cm7.1 RC1, which is confirmed by some users that works well. I have put a link for that build on my post as well. Hope this help.
[G Tablet Android Development] mozetti:
I think I know the answer, but I'm no expert - does CM7.1 for the G-tab have hardware acceleration? If no, I see reports of Flash working so do problems with HD video still exist?

I'm considering moving from Vegan (Froyo) to see if it clears up a couple minor annoyances but I need a (mostly) fully functional tablet. That being said, I use the MoboPlayer so I can soft-decode when needed.

Thanks!
