[General Questions and Answers] Jerome_xda:
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.

This is the story:

- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.

- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.

- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.

- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.

- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.

- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but

always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"

- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.

- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.

Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset

Best regards and thanks

Jerome

[General Questions and Answers] barty22:
You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).

Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.

Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.

If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.

good luck!

PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.
[General Questions and Answers] Jerome_xda:
Many many thanks.

My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??

Best regards

Jerome
[General Questions and Answers] barty22:
Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.

Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.

If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.
[General Questions and Answers] Jerome_xda:
Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).

SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812367

Thanks again, I hope that's Gingerbread will be available soon for me.

Best regards

Jerome
[General Questions and Answers] barty22:
Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.

So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?

no te preocupes!

EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.
[General Questions and Answers] Jerome_xda:
Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.

Google search:

villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55

(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links..;) )

Sadly, they have not released a solution yet :mad:

Best regards

Jerome

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.

[General Questions and Answers] nortonnc:
Solution:

Run terminal and type:

"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space

i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..

After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,

Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !
[General Questions and Answers] CreativeBR:
Jerome,

I guess you are in the same boat i am.

I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).

There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.

The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.

Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

[Blade General] Jackal331:
Hi, a quick question,

do Blade and Wildfire have both the same CPU types, except the clock ?

Are they basically on the same performance level ?

Thanks.
[Blade General] Jackal331:
Nevermind, I've found the exact specs of both CPUs.

As far as I've understood, the major advantage of Blade is it having a GPU unit.

Anyway, I'm still interested in real performance results if anyone can compare.

For instance, are Angry Birds playable ?
[Blade General] will8578:
i had a wildfire for 4 weeks, i now own a blade, it wipes the wildfire on all levels, angrybirds is crap on the wildfire, no lag on the blade, to me a wildfire is just for facebook and twitter, i go on my laptop for those things and mostly use my blade for playing games and phone stuff of course, hope that helps.
[Blade General] Jackal331:
Thank you, this was very helpful. I'll most probably swap those.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
It also means you can play games phones like the Nexus One is made for e.g. Gameloft ones since it's an Adreno 200.
[Blade General] Jackal331:
Nom nom nom, I've already ordered it :)
[Blade General] mirko185:
well, i think that blade is a little bit slower, 'cousa if it has the same CPU like Wildfire, so Wlidfire has a lower display resolution and its faster, but there is not big difference. The same issue U can find between SF and Boston.
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
So... I was wondering... WHY DO WE GOT THAT PROBLEMS !?

If we take the NEXUS S Rom and convert it for our PHONES (GT540), where is the TRICK ? Why do we get that problems with the battery and te NEXUS S users not ?!

NEXUS S got the same battery like GT540 and after the GSMarena compare, the GT540 takes it much better then the NEXUS S !

CAN someone explain it maybe ?! Cause I really dont understand :(:(:(
[GT540 Optimus General] LinxAndroid:
Its the rom itself not the battery.
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
I know that :) thx for the reply... But where is the TRICK, why is the ROM quilty for that probs, why is everything else working just perfect and just the battery not ?!

Im sry for that topic and for that question, but Im gonna sell my phone cause of the freakin ****ty battery lifes on every better ROM :(
[GT540 Optimus General] LinxAndroid:
Well the rom has a file with the battery calculator. And this isnt calibrated right for all roms.

Also most roms are still under active development so dont get your hopes up about good battery life etc etc
[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
I think battery problem have something with kernel, on 2.1 i use 4 diferent kernel (orginal lg, 666 infernal, quarx, pcfighter) and every kernel have diferent battery life, diferente dischargin steps. So... no orginal kernel no good battery life.
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
THX for you answer !
[GT540 Optimus General] joe.stone:
I have a Nexus S. The battery lasts 1 day If I use .It is not overclocked (yet) . The battery is same on gt540 it lasts 1 day if I use it.See the attached screenshots from my Nexus S.
[GT540 Optimus General] chaudha4@hotmail.com:
What I usually do is that after the battery is charged to 100%, I reboot the phone in recovery and keep it plugged in and charge for anther 15 mins. That seems to give me an additional 1 hour as my phone stays at 100% for at-least an hour before falling back to 99%.
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
I have had my phone off charge for 5 hours and its sitting on 95%.
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
Really god i need to invest time in re calibrating mines shocking 13hrs then it died
[GT540 Optimus General] sweetbinodray:
Battery depends on few things.

1. Kernel

2. Rom itself

3. It will drain faster with data on.

4. Some crapy apps kill your battery.

Choose kernel and rom wisely. Turn off your data if you don't need it. Uninstall unnecessary apps
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
FOR all those WHO GOT the same problem like me...

I fingered out how my battery is holding for 4 days now...

When you plugin your phone into charge mode... just dont let it to go into "SCREEN OFF"... make your Screen OFF to 30minutes and just hit the screen every 25 mins... or just install an app which doesent allow your phone to autoScreenOff it :)

After this lil trick... it just works for me now... I hit 113Hours with this trick on Muraiks M6 Version !!!!!!!!!
[GT540 Optimus General] Jamielawther:
You don't need an app ;) You need to go to development settings and click never sleep on USB. ;) Thats what I do :D
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Hi!

I was wondering if there's any way to get 3G video calls on Android? I'm not talking about apps like Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, Skype, Fring etc..

Am talking about 3G video calls provided by the operator that would work with other phones that have video calling.
[General Questions and Answers] andytian007:
Only android2.3.4 support for video calls. :)
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Android 2.3.4 supports video calls via GTalk, right? Am not talking about that. Am talking about video calls over 3G available on other phones.

You can implement video calls on Android 2.2 and above. Yahoo Messenger works on 2.2+.

But, am talking about operator calls.
[General Questions and Answers] WiredPirate:
Try Tango! Works great for me.:)
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Tango again requires the other person to have Tango.

Am talking about regular 3G video calls that will work with other non-smart phones.
[General Questions and Answers] nameite:
This is what I want to know too...I have free video call minutes here but these darn new devices dont seem to support them???
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Most of the non-smart new phones support this though. It's weird that someone has not written an app for this yet.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
They have written an app for that, but it is required for both parties to have the app...your statements contradict themselves. Easy answer for your question...no. You can not make a 3G video call, or a 4G or wi-fi for that matter without both parties using an app to host it.
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
There is a standard video call protocol for 3G used by many 3G phones. This is what am looking for. Perhaps, you are not aware of real 3G video calling.
[General Questions and Answers] ameenor:
yep.. i`ve been trying to find any app that could do the video call via native 3g without the data plan.. but none to my luck yet.. i`m using the SGS and it does have 3g native calling but cm7 n miui doesnt support it and i love miui but cant make any video call except when using gtalk etc.. so it is not very convenient as i have to make sure the other side to have the same software that i was using.. rightnow i could always video called my friend who is using symbian phone with my SGS but with if i was using cm7 or miui rom i cant do that.. its weird that no one actually write the app for this yet..
[General Questions and Answers] duke_droid:
Sorry for unburying this thread, but do we have any news in this field? Still no 3g videocalling to non-smart phones? my girlfriend has a simple enough Samsung Blade (S5600v), and she is able to make video calls, but not me (weird)...
[General Questions and Answers] ari_ok:
i have samsung SGH i780 windows mobile phone. it has a problem power button not working correctly. power button touch a bit mobile is switch off after difficult to switch on when i remove a battery and plug again mobile is switch on without pressing power button. have any solution to fix the problem.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] raving_nanza:
sounds like you need to open the device and look inside, my guess is that the plastic power button is not inserted/aligned properly.

(which is why it turns off and on the way it does)

(probably due to a recent drop of your device)

you should view the wiki for your device on how to get inside to have a look.

im pretty sure this is whats wrong with your power button dude = sometimes this happens to me when putting my device back together.

(power button needs re-aligning)

Rn
[General Questions and Answers] 2dealsnet:
Red Hook and press the green call key while pressing the power key, hard reboot confirmation screen appear, press the space bar to confirm, and then the phone restart. After the initial setting, the screen calibration (points 5 times the cross), the initial state of the mobile phone back to just brush up ROM. After loading the program, and personal information are lost, so hard before the restart must be careful to save personal information.

Pretty sure they aren't, just by looking at the link. As a Smart Keyboard user, I think that's the site to get skins (for the app). To the OP, I'd recommend getting Smart Keyboard Pro. You can skin it to look like anything (there are many available) and it has a lot more options than you'll find in any stock keyboard.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bobby Buggs:
I just tried out the Verizon 3g Hotspot and its worked no problem. I didnt get a message that I needed to sign up for anything. Whats the deal here
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
Did you change your settings and remove ".dun" from the sign in info? Because that's what I did to make it work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Technically, yes, it is free. However, it is a pay service and getting caught bypassing their tools is a risk. Also, the risk of getting caught is greater using the Verizon app with the hack.

More than likely they're not going to care if you don't abuse it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] imTousey:
I never had to pay to use mine either. I think ive come across one site that doesn't work and i get redirected but thats it. I dtill did the .dun mod though, cuz I had to use ththat site for school.
[Atrix 4G General] ForSpareParts:
Hey guys,

So, I tried to flash HKTW, but I'm new at this, and I believe I screwed something up. I installed Tenfar's CWM Recovery and flashed from that, using the CWM version of HKTW. I didn't wipe anything, and I didn't do a backup (and I cringe to write that -- I'll do better next time, I promise!). Now I can't boot into the OS -- I just hang on my the Motorola boot splash -- but I *can* get into recovery/fastboot/etc. I tried flashing stock 1.8.3 using fastboot, but I still can't boot. I have no doubt I've done at least one incredibly dumb thing here, and probably a whole collection of them. I'm at your mercy, guys. Can you help me out?
