I'm relaxed, always will be regardless of what I'm typing - I don't get worked up over a forum post. All ages? Really? those same kids are probably looking at 3D porn over in the Evo3D forum, or on other parts of the internet.. anyway...

I'm not going to change anyone's preconceived notions about Americans on a forum, nor do I care.

I'm not in the area but I saw the following news post where they folded under the huge fees from litigation
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petrilson:
Dear friends,

I have this problem and can't seem to find a fix for it although I have tried EVERYTHING.

Ever since I bought the subscription, called "Origami Star" with 2GB unlimited traffic, I can't seem to have a decent net speed.

So, the Subscription has 2GB at 3G+ speeds and after the 2 Gigs are consumed, slower speed.

My problem: I have never had more than 20 KB/s down speed, ever.

I have a friend with the same subscription, also a Samsung Galaxy S, just like mine only different soft (2.2 Orange branded), he has minimum 100 KB/s, normally around 400-500 KB/s (not kbps, but KB/s), not only tests but measured download speed.

Things tried so far:

- switching the SIM cards from our phones: result is with my SIM card in his phone I have the same low speed; with his SIM card in my phone, he has even better speeds, of around 600-700 KB/s down, so the phone definitely not the issue.

- changing SIM: called Orange and they offered to send me another SIM --> got it, activated it, same slow speed of max 20 KB/s.

I'd like to mention that, at least on my phone, I've tried with 2.2.1 JS5 and with 2.3.4 by Sammy, no kitchen or anything.

Phone is almost constantly on "H" mode, HSDPA, and is set on WCDMA/GSM. Same issues when running on WCDMA only.

How things are right now, I can't even run Skype!! :( :confused:

Need help dear friends!

I'm out of things to try and the Orange support has been so far either incompetent or clueless, don't know which one is worse...

I'm close to bailing out and quitting Orange.

Cheers!

salut petrilson,

Etant sur le même réseau que toi mais via un mnvo je n'étais, comme toi, pas satisfait des vitesses de transfert.

Le problème ne vient ni de ton tel ni de ta sim mais de orange qui ne fait pas fonctionner son réseau à 100%. Il a le plus de mnvo et en plus même pour ses propres clients le réseau est lent (au bureau, nous avons les 3 op principaux et SFR s'est montré le plus rapide en download.).

En gros, si tu ve aller plus vite change d'opérateur. (c'est ce que je m'apprete a faire aussi)

Désolé.

Cordialement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsai76:
Actually, I am on ORANGE also... I can not complain at all about speed...

I am running Gingerbread 2.3.4 on samsung i9000

when on 3G+ zone, I just tested

Test 1 : Ping 55ms, down 4.4M

Test 2 : Ping 75ms, down 4.2M

no idea where your problem comes from... :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petrilson:
Thanks a lot both of you, Wilmans and dorsai, really appreciate your inputs.

I tried calling them continuously, both on the normal support line, speaking to a technician and on the expert support line.

I think I have made around 10 calls today (not exaggerating), probably going to cost me a fortune with all the waiting and having to re-explain the problem again and again... and again. Not to mention having to redial sometimes because of childish reasons such as: I have a problem with my PC and can't transfer you to the tech guys. No comment. :(

Completely ruined my day.

We tried the following:

- updating the SIM card software (they said they did that remotely), restarted the phone

- reset my settings on the Orange network

- they did some "manipulations", I am not sure what they did, directly on the phone remotely

- checked that the account settings are ok

- looked at the other account I was mentioning which has decent speeds, they say it's the same settings as on mine

The speed is nonetheless the same after all of the above.

The funny thing is that one of the support guys today told me about a "fair use" option which was active on my account and that the problem might be because of that. Not sure of if since I had this problem since day 1 after buying the subscription (3.5 months ago).

Problem is, not even in my 2 GB of normal forfait I can't have decent speeds.

The question now is: having the forfait (subscription) for 3 months already, can I close it without having to pay for all the ~21 months remaining?

Is there something I can do to close it now and get an SFR or something else?

The reason I got this subscription is to be able to at least use Skype on it, which I currently can't because of the low bandwidth.

Thanks a lot guys and sorry for having to witness such a sad Orange story... :(

Orange really let me down today, in a way you can't imagine.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petrilson:
The nightmare continues...

They finally (Orange) called me on Tuesday offering me the same solution it was given previously by another representative: reset the network. So they don't really read the history, although it's available and this was a callback.

I have respectfully told them that it has already been done. After suggesting a couple of other possible solutions which either didn't make sense or we have already tried, they have proposed to escalate and give me an answer in 5 working days. Who knows, I don't trust them anymore.

In the meantime, just made a couple of tests today with the other friend of mine, which has a decent subscription (the same one called Origami Star, but working correctly).

We were both sitting at the same table, 20 cm from each other, on the same server (called 290 to verify) and after several tests we got an average of:

Me:

- 390 kbps download (that's BITS per second, not Bytes)

- ~1900 kbps upload

My friend:

- 5100 kbps download (that's almost 640 KB/s, highest was 5900 kbps), more than 10 times the down speed I have

- ~1800 kbps upload

We used the Speedtest App from the Market. (Copyright included)

Don't even know what to say anymore, it's like it's there, it's real and yet there's nothing I can do. :)

And if you want to speak to Orange, it's always via the (da*n) phone and with someone who has no idea of what was discussed before (although the history is in front of him). Every time, the same 10-20 minutes of money thrown away to get a silly answer: the tech guys can't answer, they are a bit busy, maybe you can try calling tomorrow. :D

Does anyone know if in France you can unsubscribe from a subscription (forfait) based on the fact that the service is not what it's supposed to be?

Cheers and may God protect you from Orange!

I am extremely excited that motorola unlocked the bootloader. But I would prefer a way to bypass the official fuse-breaking unlock and use a fully reversable unlocking method. Since moto allowed us to unlock our bootloaders it seems all work has stopped.

Does anyone know if any devs are still trying to bypass the bootloader?

Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty. Right now it is not a reversable process.

If we could un-unlock our bootloader we can still send our phone in for warranty covered repair and replacement.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnetox:
Only problem is unlocking your bootloader burns a fuse. So I mean you could go in there... :p.

Ok, here's the story. I managed to brick my 10.1 Google I/O edition. It won't boot and I can't get it into recovery or download mode.

Here's what I did.

- I tried to flash this rom using Odin.

- The tablet started bootlooping

- I installed a CWM recovery, to do a full wipe.

- Then I saw this and flashed it using Odin.

When setting the PIT-file Odin got stuck and I had no option but to unplug and reset the tablet. Now the tablet is dead. When I hook it up using USB and use nvflash, it does seem to communicate bit.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] used2hvatreo:
Ok, first thing, the second batch of code, the partition table stuff, won't work unless you have got the bootloader running from the first section of code.

Second, are you sure that you have a good bootloader.bin? try redownloading the nvflash stuff and start from scratch.

Once you have bootloader going, flash stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Then flash CWM so you can go back to the stock 3.1. After you get there we will continue.

(I played this game last night, and with some help you can get thru this prob)

Could it have anything to do with the fact that I tried to flash the TouchWiz rom and used the pit file? Could the partition table be screwed up?

You need to use nvflash to fix the BCT partition, and then run --bl bootloader bla blah blah.

Wow. I'm in almost the same situation you're in, except I'm able to flash the bootloader via nvflash, and from there flash via fastboot/recovery/odin, and boot into the OS. The tablet absolutely refuses to turn on without using nvflash.

I'd love to get a hold of the BCT file for this thing as well, if someone could post it.

I'm not sure how much help I can really offer here, but here's the bootloader.bin I'm using, and it works fine. Maybe yours went bad somehow.

I'm a total n00b with nvflash, haven't used it before today. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I don't know what.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
Is there a way I can reformat and repartition the nand memory? I think that because I used Odin with a .pit file, the partitioning got screwed up.

So in theory I hope this would work

-Repartition the memory to the standard layout

-Boot the bootloader

-Write the Tab 10.1 I/O system files and partitions.

Is this possible? can someone explain me how to do this? I've been doing some reading, and it seems I need a .cfg file if I want to repartition, where do I get that?

Seems to me I need to run the following command

"nvflash .exe" --bct XXXX.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile XXX.cfg --create --go (as seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967915)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kitinas:
Well, following your link, I was able to at least pull a partition table for the tablet, as well as most of the partitions themselves. Looks like it could be used to create a config file, but there's a few things missing/that I'm not sure of.

I could pull all partitions except 14. For some reason it had an expected size listed, but the file went far, far beyond what it had listed. It was expected at about 350mb, but it reached over 5GB before I stopped it. Part14 is listed as HID, might be the actual storage space.

That being said, I really don't know how much good this will do, if any. While I'm no expert on this, I'm willing to bet that a .cfg file would really be nice here.

I've uploaded the partition table file, just in case it'll help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stinky73:
You are using the wrong command string!

Basics first, you must have a binloader.bin in your working nvflash directory, it does not matter which one...this file is effectively loaded into meomry and allows you to address the tegra...if you use the correct command :)

...this one bootloadersmall.rar will do to put into partition 4 of your device (I say this because the "odin run" changes partiton size and the standard I/O bootloader is too big for the resized partition) this bootloader will give you recovery and download from the two button start up combination. Unrar it twice, once "as is" then again renaming it bootloader.img

So in your nvflash directory you now have a bootloader.bin and a bootloader.img

You say you think you have a bad bct partition as well but you have the file for that, so let's start with the bootloader and do this step by step so you can visually confirm the process

these are the strings from command window in the nvflash directory

#1 "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"

You should get a message like this

sending file: bootloader.bin

/ *******/******* bytes sent

bootloader.bin sent successfully

waiting for bootloader to intialize

bootloader downloaded successfully

It will then return to the cursor so next step is

#2 "nvflash --resume --download 4 bootloader.img"

That should re-write the bootloader in your tegra, try to reboot and see what happens. If the bct is ok then it should work, if not reload the bct using the same two commands above but substitute 2 for 4 for the partiton you are addressing and your filename for bct as opposed to bootloader. I think another error is that the file should be named .img and not .bin......can't swear to this but does ring alarm bells especially because of your error "bct file not found"

Hope this helps

(You can actually do it all in one command but the way I showed you above will reassure you that the process is advancing - full string would be "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 4 bootloader.img"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kitinas:
Hm. That config file is a bit different than the one I built. Unfortunately, it's at home and I'm at work. I'm rather weary of using either of them, just cause my tablet does actually sorta work. I also calculated the sizes differently(though they were the same in the end). I just pulled each partition and noted the file size. Part14 caused a problem though, like I said before. I also see yours skips partition17.

What tablet/tegra device did you grab that config file from? Mine was from a g-tab(I think the Toshiba). It only had I think 13 partitions listed, though the final partition had "size=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" same as the config you have. I'm willing to bet it needs that so the last partition just takes up the remaining space.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:

The galaxy.cfg seems to be a partition layout dump. The flash.cfg file does seem like a proper config file, but the partitions dont correspond to the ones on the Tab 10.1 :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
as per my PM to you:

if you feel you have tried all button combos, then do this:

plug in to usb

power + vol up until you hear the notification on your pc. this is APX mode.

unplug usb.

wait till battery runs out.

plug in to wall.

now boot it with power.

it should boot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
While I don't how that would fix things, I'll certainly give it a try :) the Tab is draining now, but it could take a while without the screen doing anything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
It should.

It just resets you out of the apx loop your in.

Already worked for one user who had the same issue as you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
After you install a rom using ODIN, you should go into the recovery (stock/cwmod) and do a data factory reset then reboot. It's worked every time for me and I think I soft bricked mine like 4 different ways lol. I even tried to install Modaco's Asus Transformer Recovery Boot because I was lazy and thought it would get me into recovery quicker. All it did was completely fubar my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
As I also said in PM, it doesn't seem to work

- I plugged it into the PC's usb-port

- Held power + volume up

- 'Device connected' sound came from the speakers on my pc

- I disconnected USB

But if I then immediately plug it back in, I don't hear the 'device connected' sound. If I then hold volume-up+power again, the device goes into APX mode and Windows plays the sound.

So it seems that as soon as I disconnect it from the PC after APX mode is engaged, the tablet turns itself off. So I don't know how I can drain it this way.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
I can't get into recovery because the key combo isn't working. I also can't run it using nvflash because I can't seem to run a bootloader through it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
just leave it be after unplugging the first time and come back in 24hrs to see if it has drained.

It takes long to drain.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
Ensure you are hitting apx before u unplug.

U can see this in your device list on your pc, to validate apx mode.

Power + vol up and hold.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
After entering APX mode I see 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices' in the Windows Device manager, that means that APX is enabled right? Because it goes away when I unplug the tablet.

I've now unplugged it, and I hope it's draining. Will see in about 24hrs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
you know what, im not sure if you would get a charge from usb while it is plugged in, in that mode.

you probably could leave it plugged in in that state and just let it sit.

come back to it in 1 hr. if it has shut off, do that instead, for 24 hrs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
Ok, leaving it plugged in in APX-mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kitinas:
Hm, I'm not sure that'll work. My tablet does actually charge while plugged into a comp no matter what mode it's in, just very very slowly as opposed to a wall charger.

I've already had my tablet's battery run out on me and it didn't clear up the issue. I did notice the bootloader seems to fail to flash if the battery is really low, though. Once mine got up to around 10% then I could use nvflash again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] woeds:
It's been in APX mode connected to a PC for two days now, and it hasn't shut down yet.

Pershoot, do you have any idea on how I can get this bootloader to run?
