@duffyanneal

Can you remove the large heatshield in pic #1 and get close-up shots of the markings on the SoC and support chips?

@kujayhawks77

>would it be possible to take a 16GB tablet and upgrade it to a 32GB if one desired?

It's possible, but probably not practical for most people.

Common sense would say the 32GB & 16GB SKUs have minimal differences, viz. only the flash memory chips. Getting the 32GB samples isn't too difficult, although it may require a bit of social engineering. Unsoldering and soldering SMT w/o expensive equipment can be done. To see how,

The difficult part is acquiring the skill and experience for the DIY job. If you don't already possess these, a $500 tab isn't the best place to start. Suggest getting your chops on an old MP3 player.

Honestly I don't see a point for Micro SD. If you really want a lot of space just wait for the 64 gig. besides there are so many ways of sharing files and contents and so many apps in the market. that I see no point in an SD car.

honestly what can you do with an extra 16 or 32 gigs? put like 3 more movies on there??

Everything is moving towards cloud and streaming, just tether with you're or buy the sim chip version and you should be good to go...with google music beta and so many apps out there you can stream movies you won't even need any space on you're tablet soon. for me 32 gig is plenty enough...my two cents.

heck I'm even controlling my desktop from this thing and streaming my entire computer...why would I need any space when I have 1 TB of space on my desktop and instant access through remote desktop with perfect movie streaming and music streaming and anything else you can do with your desktop computer

>Everything is moving towards cloud and streaming

That would be difficult when you're limited to 5GB/month.

As for within the home, setting up streaming means setting up a streaming server, which is beyond the normal skill-set of regular users. It also means wifi bottlenecks. Most of these tabs (except the GT and Xoom) use only 2.4GHz band, and all of them have 1x1 radio. Not great for throughput.

USB & SD/uSD are the hands-down easiest choices. GT users will want to have those adapters.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
It depends on the person and how he/she wants to use the tablet,moreover not all people have access to high speed internet to use online soloutions.

if there were no difference then producers just provide 16gb and nothing else so there should be a difference :)

for me on my galaxy phone sometimes do mod works and many times need to format my sdcard so I used my micro sd to use my backup files for faster performance.

anyhow it was good to know the answer if there is a microsd hidden in the tablet ,however the OP (5thElement) started a misleading few days ago, just wrote something and disappeared :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Most of that should be easy to find out from dmesg and sysfs. Why, what do you have in mind?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
The FBGA code on the Samsung 16GB flash chip. The Tegra2 chip is presumably the same as that on the Xoom, which is already known from the iFixit teardown, althought it'd be good to see if there are any rev differences. Close-ups of the dual-band wifi PIFA antenna would also be good to see. No one has done any wifi performance testing yet.

All these are mainly for academic curiosity since I don't have a GT.

But to affirm, doing 16GB->32GB upgrade wouldn't be very practical even if one were experienced at this sort of thing. You won't be saving much if any money. Much simpler to buy the 32GB unit.

@pokey9000

BTW, good job on your and ericlmccormick's work on the schems for the various GT adapters. You guys should ask for it to be stickied.

Is there any kernel mod for the GT to boost antenna power?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghockey07:
This might sound funny, but can you take a picture of the screw heads and what's the proper way of taking the plugs out to get to the screws?

Also, does the back just slide off once you take out the screws.

The reason I ask is because I have Wii trial wing screwdrivers laying around.

SD Myth

Not meaning to stirr this up even more but...

I confirmed that europe is getting at LEAST 3 different versions of the Galaxy tab 10.1. At least in germany, we're expecting a release this month, and we'll only have ONE model which has: 16gb, UMTS (3G) & WiFi. Those are the only confirmed details, it's still unknown if the 10.1 in germany will have or lack a micro SD slot. Not even the product manager of samsung in germany has this information.

I work for an IT Services company, and I can only confirm that every distributor we can get the tablet from lists it as having a micro SD slot.

Amazon.de has had it listed (and switching back and forth) as with and without a micro SD slot.

Only thing I know for sure, is that nobody seems to know for sure if the german version does or does not have a slot. Apparently the russian version does have one.

I'll have to wait till my unit arrives to either be happy or extremely disappointed

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I am getting ready to convert some movies to H.264 to play on my View. What are the ideal resolution and bitrate settings for good quality viewing? I was looking at using 720x480(I think this is standard for ntsc dvd) with a bitrate of 768 or 896 for the video and 128 for the audio. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Before posting this thread, I followed all of the suggested threads on the same topic. Keep coming back to the same thing.

How can I get back to default....(with root) like it was right out of the box. In short...if I sold this device, I can I be sure all my data is gone gone gone?

If I wipe wipe wipe and wipe. Then factory reset....certain settings are ALWAYS available....my wallpaper and my WiFi settings. No matter what, they always come back. That leads me to wonder if anything else is stored....

How can I be sure...?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
Are you running a different Tom then stock? If so, wipe everything and then reload the stock Tom. Then use one click to unroot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
nope...not the answer. I've done that. My wallpaper and wifi, are immediately restored. Oh, and my bookmarks too. They are stored somewhere.

I've unmounted the phone memory and formated it. I've formated my SD card. I've loaded other ROMs to include the Nandroid backup that Gunman loaded. But, immediately upon logging in...My wallpaper is restored, move to Wifi and touch wifi, it detects and load my password protected settings, and my bookmarks are all there.

Somewhere these things are stored....Not being familiar with Android...I have no clue...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
After you wipe your data and restart your phone, it shows the little green android, the one you have to press to setup your phone, right? After you press that android, during the initial setup are you entering your Google account info (username and password)? Android backs up certain info/settings, including wifi passwords, if you don't de-select that option and when you sign in to your Google account during that initial setup it will restore it automatically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
If that's the case just skip the initial setup and don't enter your account info and it shouldnt restore that info automatically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I think some of that info is stored in your Google account. Dont log in with the initial setup, you'll see nothing is restored.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea its definitely in your Google account almost positive. Do what phburks said and don't sign in initially
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
And that's what I thought. So I tried that 'other' phone, the one from HTC. No sim, force me to wifi on login. So I get to setup..the little green Andy Rubin dude, get the prompt for wifi, it forces me to select which AP, which is new. But, when I select the AP, it populates with my data and password. So I erased any thing I could erase, did factory reset to include erase storage, and repeated. Same thing happened. This should eliminate it being in the Google account because I've not entered that yet.

I've done this with both the g2x and the grass is greener phone. One is rooted, one is not. I was thinking something may be stored in recovery...I could buy that. Restoring to stock should fix that. But using the 'this is greatest' phone, it has a stock recovery.

Being a noob to the inner workings of android, and having believed the story about fake flash, I wanted to ask you guys. The only other explanation is, the 60's have caught up with me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Its all backed up on Google's servers. So during initial setup if you sign in with your Google username and password it restores the settings from their servers. Just skip the part of the setup where it asks you to sign in to a Google account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
How does it get my wifi settings, if I have to log to wifi, before Google.

I understand the login stuff, that's clear. But something is being retained, somewhere else too. Don't ya think that's scary?

I'm going to factory reset this device. Going to wipe phone memory, then boot to recovery, wipe all again, then install fauxs rom. I will skip the Google login. I will turn on wifi. If it logs.in from saved data, that means its on the device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Its not scary. Its restoring settings you opted to have Google backup to their servers.

If I'm not mistaken during initial setup, the first piece of information you are asked to input is your Google account info. Once you enter that it restores your wifi settings, among other things. If you're connected to a mobile network (3G/4G/edge) it downloads it over that and then connects to your wifi network.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
true...all that I understand. but...what if you skip teh login ?? Thats what I was getting at.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
So, I took all of your information, and tried. Then, to be sure, I did it again. I was up until 2am, checking this out. What I learned was.....I have n o idea what I was thinking. I obviously mixed a few different steps from different activities. Some of the steps I mention above are not part of factory reset, but rather part rom flash...some arre parts of restore.

In conclusion,,, it wasn't android, but flaash backs from the 60's.:(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brascodanny:
My Galaxy S has a problem with the Light Sensor, every time i make a call my phone freezes or black screen, I tried running some sensor tests but also does same when i try the light sensor, so that must be it. have this problem for a year, at first i thought it was the proximity sensor.

When my headphone is plugged in, i dont have this problem because the light sensor wont interfear then.

I want to disable the startup of the light sensor,

I already setup ADB, so im ready to push and pull, but i don't know wich file i need to edit. remove a # here and there

Can anyone tell how wich file it is?

Well no, because there is no such thing as WinMo7. :D

If you are referring to Windows Phone 7 (A completley different OS from scratch) then yes, Its ready for daily use and has been since very first port. Just make sure you have a decent and compatible sdcard.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you're on a stock ROM, it is likely an icon for HSPA service. This is basically 3.5G service. Most custom ROMs will have a "H" icon instead of 3G when this is the connection.

Sometimes I get 3G+ and sometimes H... so I guess they mean something different.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Icons and network speeds can be sometimes confusing on Windows Mobile devices.

Unlike other branded devices, "3G" is 3.6Mbps (category 6 HSDPA) and "H" stands for 7.2Mbps (category 8 HSDPA).

I never saw a "3G+" icon. Maybe if you would post a screenshot I could help you further.

EDIT: @OP, no Rhodium doesn't support 4G (LTE) so no matter what icon you got it's definitely not 4G ;) The first HTC device to support this was the HTC ThunderBolt (right?).

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] memphis212:
Ok, I have/had a broken power/lock button on my Moto Droid 1. I called Motorola and Verizon to try and get, Verizon just wanted to sell me a droid 2 and moto just wanted me to send it in for repair. I decided to try and fix it myself. I tried a couple of "fixes" found on the net from cleaning it externally with alcohol and with contact or tv cleaner. The alcohol worked for a couple of days but it became totally inoperable today. So I watched a video on disassembling it and found the actual problem. I will explain the best I can so that maybe some of you can fix your own. The actual problem on mine was the button assembly. There is a very small piece of yellow tape holding down a tiny piece of round spring metal that makes contact on the power switch shorting them out and creating a complete circuit. On mine the yellow piece of tape was stuck to the power button plastic piece and the tiny piece of spring metal was down inside the phone. To get a working power button again all you have to do is fine the small piece of metal and put it back in place, cover it with tape and reassemble the phone.

Step one: Watch video and get required tools for dis-assembly.

look on youtube for a video. Directfix.com has a video and also sells the tools needed.

Step two: Locate the small piece of metal.

Step three: Orient the piece on to the power switch. (The piece is beveled and needs to go with the bevel pointing up. So that when you press on it it will pop down and then back up.)

Step four: Carefully cover the power button assembly with a small square of tape. I used black electrical tape, I tried scotch tape but it lost its sticky after a few presses and the small piece of metal moved.

Step five: Partially reassemble the phone and test.

Step six: If your tests from step 5 worked finish assembling your phone and enjoy.

I hope this helps some of you out there that have this problem with a phone out of warranty.

Let me know if I can answer any questions about the process.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] impidan:
first of all i'd like to thank you, thats exact the same way i TRIED, but when i opened up the phone, i had to realize that all of that 'pieces of metal' are gone! (both volumes, and the power one). so what to do now?
