[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kmandel:
I'm posting to the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 forum, but my question is really about the several tablets similar to it.

I've been disappointed at how slow Samsung has been on software updates to the Galaxy phones. Still no GB on the US models. On the other end the Nexus phones are developer reference platforms and get the first updates from Google.

Are any of the tablets similar to the SG10.1 (Xoom, Ideapad, Thrive, Transformer, Viewsonic,..) better choices from the standpoint of getting software updates.

As far as I know Google doesn't have a developer reference tablet that they directly support, but what comes the closest?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PatHoge:
The Xoom is the the "flagship" Honeycomb tablet, so it will always receive updates first. In fact, Xooms are already on Android version 3.2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Only for those in US. Many people in UK have bought Xoom's thinking this was the same situation but Motorola have admitted that the US Xoom is the only Xoom that is a Google Experience Device. Non-US Xooms are not. I personally think Motorola have grossly missold Xoom's in UK and possibly many other non-US locations as well. I feel sorry for those who have purchased the Xoom under this pretence who are still stuck with Android 3.0 despite US Xoom's being 2 Android versions ahead.

Pretty poor show by Motorola if you ask me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tiny4579:
Too bad the flagship honeycomb device is Motorola.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rampart19:
And had a terrible launch strategy. Can only buy it with a data contract? No thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
To be more precise, only xoom wi-fi version. Verizon 3g doesn't come under google experience flagship tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sultan OS:
The Xoom but I love My Galaxy tab 10.1 :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mchimney:
Does it matter anymore? I thought i read that google was done with honeycomb after 3.2 and no further updates would be done. I could be wrong, made this up due to lack of sleep, or something else.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jardicel:
I believe the Xoom is the first to be updated. I feel SGT is the last.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kmandel:
TouchWiz

I see that Samsung is rolling out the proprietary TouchWiz update

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/27/samsung-to-roll-out-galaxy-tab-10-1-touchwiz-ux-update-on-august/

Does this mean that the Galaxy Tab going forward will have a harder time keeping up with Google updates.

Is there ever going to be a "Nexus" tablet with updates directly from Google?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
Let me check my crystal ball or call Andy Rubin.....

I don't think anybody can answer that. Until it's announced, it's all speculation. There was talk of one before I/O, but it didn't happen.
[Fascinate Android Development] pentafive:
Update 7/28.. Now Official current version by VzW. Changes per VzW are:

- Properly receive incoming calls.

- After sending a multi-recipient SMS messages, single-recipient SMS messages will send correctly.

- SMS Message reply is sent to the correct recipient.

- Google Books is now preloaded.

Update 7/23.. It looks like you don't even need to *228 the other phone. Just get an ESN/MEID of some other VzW smartphone (that isn't currently activated on VzW), swap it on MyVerizon and then swap it back to the Fascinate. Then *228 your Fascinate.

Update 7/22..

*** Warning, some people have reported loosing 1x/3G data svc after flashing with SamsungPST. Flashing with ODIN until is OK.

If you loose data you have two options right now..

1. Login to My Verizon and swap your phone number to some other phone, activate it (*228) and then swap it back to your Fascinate.

2. Call Verizon and tell them you are not getting any data (but voice works ok) and that you would like your keys reset.

Hey, What's the difference between ED04 and ED05 ?
[Fascinate Android Development] pentafive:
Sorry don't know. :( (Other than it is newer!)
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
................yeah..
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Did you miss the sticky?
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
I wonder if this is the attempted fix for the missed call issue? This could affect the people holding out for a Charge to come in as their replacement because if a software update gets pushed the offer is basically off the table until you update to see if it fixes the issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
Can't hurt to try. New modem comin' up. Thanks for this.

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
I would think it is. No thanks loving CM7 !
[Fascinate Android Development] jrowen76:
Think team sbrissen will update froyo com rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
I am currently waiting for a Charge to come in stock to replace my Fascinate so this is making me second guess myself and may go with the Inc 2 just so I get a newer phone because ultimately I want an SGS2 anyway so if I have a newer phone to sell I will end up getting more money for it.

So the replacement phone is really only an interim solution anyway. Decisions, decisions.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bardasian:
Wouldn't you get more money for a Charge? I was under the impression it was selling for higher.
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
Yes I would, BUT if Samsung pushes out an update (which they are supposedly working on) that is supposed to fix the missed call issue that the replacement is for; Verizon would take away the offer and make you do the update first to see if it fixes the issue.

So I could get an Inc 2 on order tomorrow and then if the update comes out right after I submit the order I am fine, but if the update comes out before I take any option (i.e. waiting for the Charge) then I have to try the update first.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bardasian:
Oh yeah, I forgot they had gone out of stock most everywhere.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
Instead of doing the directions on the OP can we flash the CI500 VZW ED05 FROYO REL tar.md5 and the atlas pit with ODIN?
[Fascinate Android Development] anoninja118:
Where did this come from and what does it fix? too bad I just sent back my Fassy today and activated my Charge :(
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
Flash with Odin3 v!.30 went fine.

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] pentafive:
Yes you can use the PIT and tar with ODIN.. that will work. The PST is just the util from Sammy.
[Fascinate Android Development] pentafive:
Good.. How is it running?
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
Just got replacement Fascinates and I'm not happy at all. I didn't realize this missed call crap was widespread. It caused arguments with the wife and I. Thought that issue was only on CM ROMS. Both phones would grey stuck on 1x forever, which is why we exchanged. Today WWF first full day and I'm getting 1x on replacement 1/2 mile from the tower. Was going to get two Charges but screw paying for them. SGS II, maybe lol
[Fascinate Android Development] brossma1:
I get atleast 2 missed calls a day no matter what rom or kernel etc: I use and I have only had this replacement for 2 weeks I don't get it.
[Defy General] viron_sv:
Hi all Dear Devs and Mates,

will you please restated and tell us newbies if which CWM or which boot menu we will or should I will install a certain Zip?

as far as I know, as only I know, there's

3 way....

thru (will you also all please give the ff. aliases?)

1.) 2nd init (a.k.a as?)

2.) via switch off + down (a.k.a as?)

and via

3.) goapk system recovery and likes (a.k.a as?)

Thanks in advance ^_^:p
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Most of custom stuff you can use. custom recovery.
[Defy General] mujju85:
guys plz help me i just rooted via superone click i got rooted than i install system recovery but whn i m going to recovery mode only black screen is coming i tried volume down + swith on thn thn andriod robot is coming i press the right corner but no recovery is coming do i missing somthing plz help me to go recover mode
[Defy General] viron_sv:
not the corner mate... its the up+down volume key
[Defy General] joydeep1985:
first make sure you have recovery is installed properly via defy 2ndinit. now in case you havent . please install it properly first by setting debugging on .. installing recovery from 2ndinit . turn debug off and then reboot . you should end up in bootmenu . and that has an option to get into custom recovery
[Defy General] joydeep1985:

and if you have installed bootmenu properly then when you switch on . and see the blue LED then press vol up + vol down continueously to get into customer recovery

stinebd's Changelog:​
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Layman's Changelog​

(As in, the changelog I wrote :p)​

FRX07.1 Changelog:

RHOD - all buttons on the front no longer wake the device. Only the power button wakes the device now.

Updated to the newest RIL

hyc's modified libs for video now baked in - *most* HQ YouTube videos (and other HQ videos) should finally work!

RHOD & TOPA - Userland (Android) now controls the LED by default now. If you need to debug sleep, you will have to change the behavior manually. See Detule's post on this topic.

Facebook sync should now work, out-of-box.

FRX07 Changelog:

Updated RIL (thanks hyc!) - this covers many different bugs that were in the old RIL - I'm only going to cover the major ones...

CDMA now works correctly (for the most part). force_cdma (and north_am_dialing) is now deprecated (not needed/ignored!)

You can boot with a SIM in on a CDMA device and choose your GSM or CDMA on the fly under Settings.

Location based on towers now works on CDMA.

1xRTT now displays correctly, but I never seem to get EVDO Rev.a... I always get 0. This is represented by a 3g icon, as this is what the Android framework provides.

Full MMS support! Please see this page for configuration instructions. Will need help fleshing out the list of carriers folks!

Spotty service, switching towers, etc should no longer cause the dreaded SoD (Sleep of Death) condition!

(Basic audio) 3.5mm support for RHOD400/500

Droidwall works out of the box now

Keyboard backlight now fades in/out

Gallery3D back in! Picasa Web Sync comes with it ;)

A couple new apps added to AndroidApps folder:

rpierce99's app GetLogs

Titanium Backup
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Caveats:​

BT - works! But audio doesn't route. See this thread if you're feeling adventurous and want to play with/don't mind using some unstable/incomplete code...

After booting, TOPA seems to have a crippling issue where if the first call is inbound, the phone reboots. So I guess after booting make an outbound call and everything is fine? Someone please confirm...

That audio routing thread is in the RHOD section, and I've only tested it on a RHOD - but AFAIK it should work on other devices. Let me know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Whew, here you go TOPA folk!

I figured you guys needed a thread for this, if only to track issues that are TOPA-specific. Let me know what I need to add in the caveat section for TOPA! Also let me know if ts-calibration file is good or not ;).

Also, if you guys already have FRX07 running/working... there's nothing new here. Mainly using this thread as a place for newbie's to go and you experienced folk to help me track issues again for new users!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] hb5:
I have a small problem,when I run haret it comes to animated logo and then my phone go to rebote?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] kujrv1:
Every time when is starting FRX07 the mobile reboot and start's windows?. Where is the problem?...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] hb5:
Yes,that's right...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] kujrv1:
And solution...?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] zooster:
Use the latest kernel and rootfs, not the ones bundled with frx07.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sorry guys grab the latest kernel. I just put that in the caveat list, thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] kujrv1:
I put the last kernel and i have the same issue. Reboot on Animated logo
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] gtti148:
I too have the reboot issue on animated start screen. Latest kernel used.

Any suggestions??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Zaknahhas:
last three kernels didn't work on my topa100

it runs haret and then reboot the device
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ebsbow:
Will you guy's please make an effort and read other posts on this topic instead of clogging up the forum.

Everything you need to know has been posted already, multiple times.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Wait...

Seems to make me think it's working on the newest rootfs and kernel - is this not true?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
I've been switching my TOPA to FRX07 + .27 + rootfs (all selfbuilt) yesterday, and it boots up fine since the latest kernel fix.

So anything reported not working with latest autobuild kernel implies user error for me if it resets during bootanimation.

arrrghhh, thanks for taking care of the topa threads! So I can concentrate on not getting anything done for .35 :)

Michael
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] zooster:
Topaz can boot with last kernel, with htc-msm-linux @ 20110718_223029 it doesn't.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
20110718_223029 is the latest kernel tho... are you saying emwe is lying? :p.

emwe - perhaps you should be like us heathens and try to run the pre-compiled binaries? I know, blasphemy...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
Hi to all, is 2 day frx7 work in my topaz all work bt, wifi, 3g, lokscreen, rotate screen (no good) photo, opera, sms, gps an battery when is 10% work 6 hour, is speed. i like use android. thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
I would try a simple reboot.

If that fails, rename your data.img to data.bak and after it boots WAIT! Wait at least 10 minutes with the phone awake, for it to settle, do all of its things... then try to preview a ringtone.

If that fails, wipe the SD card with the HP Tool (full format, FAT32) and reinstall the build. Good luck.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] jyth_82@yahoo.com:
Thanks and....

Hi,

First of all, would love to say a huge thank you for extending the life of my Topaz! Love this edition as it is pretty stable. However, need some help/guidance into the following:

1) First call issue - not an issue, just give an outbound call first. However, I'm having a problem in which i make a call or receive a call, i cannot hear the caller's voice! Only after pressing the "speaker" and back only will i able to hear from the ear-piece. Anyone suffering from this same problem? Any solution?

2) Battery life - lasted about 6 hours max on standby. Can't figure out why. Any recommendation?

3) Do i need to turn on wifi in win-mo before booting in to xandroid to use the wifi? If i don't turn it on in win-mo, i can't use the wifi in the xandroid.

4) If there is a new version updated - how do i migrate all my stuff without reinstalling? What is the required files to be replaced? ;) Noob question...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
1. You found the fix. Flip speakerphone on/off.

2. Make sure the phone is sleeping properly. See the changelog for 7.1 on how to debug sleep. For example, GPS must be disabled, or else the phone will not sleep.

3. If you have to do that, then yes? I didn't know TOPA users had to do that to get wifi working - mine works fine without it, but I don't have a TOPA.

4. data.img holds all the user customizations. ts-calibration and startup.txt are the other two I would consider holding on to. Unless you customized some other file in some way, those are the only ones you should need to hang on to.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] jyth_82@yahoo.com:
1).... ahh.... just wondering if anyone has the same problem ;) Or a fix to it :P Kinda of annoying to click that speaker with fumbling hands :D

2) I saw the changelog - didn't manage to find anything on debugging the sleep. Am trying to turn off GPS (I assumed is the satelite dish on the top there). What else?

3) I recall running this manner in FRX06. Just wondering if other TOPAZ user running the same.

4) Cool! learning new things everyday huh :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] jones23:
i can confirm that the battery will last up to 18 hours in stand-by on topaz.

after some inital problems with the battery life i did a new setup using the new bundle + latest kernel/rootfs keeping only my data.img and calibration file.

the information that gps has to be turned of for stand-by should be added to the first page. kinda important.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
1. The new acoustic code will hopefully resolve it for good. In the meantime, that is the workaround ;).

2. Crap! Forgot to update the TOPA changelog... It's updated now, but I basically added this to the sleep debug line - "See Detule's post on this topic." That will allow you to turn on and off the sleep LED. What I mean by GPS disabled is it cannot be enabled in settings. Even if the satellite dish is not in the bar, GPS still kills sleep if it's even enabled in Settings -> Location & Security. Make sure "Use GPS Satellites" is UNchecked.

3. Other TOPA users have any comment on wifi? Does everyone else need to enable wifi in WinMo before booting Android for it to work...?

Thanks for the confirmation. The GPS caveat is in the FAQ... perhaps now that we no longer have a sleep LED by default, I should make the caveat more prominent...? I'll think about it, just not sure where to put it. I wanted the FAQ in order to keep the first post relatively uncluttered. I know I didn't do a great job at that, but hey :p.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] jyth_82@yahoo.com:
Thanks! Is this with 3G on? Am turning off the GPS for good....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Rosya:
@arrrghhh ... thank u for ur respond ... i tried rebooting and it worked fine .. after that i made another reboot and got the same problem again so i'll try the other fixes and i'll keep you informed ...

another thing i noticed that when i press the wake up button the phone takes long time to wake up and some times wake up for just a second then go back to sleep again ...

and finally i noticed that my topaz shuts down randomly .. shuts down not rebooting

other than that everything works well ... and i have to thank you all guys for your great efforts
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] jones23:
well it's NOT set to 2G-only mode, but there's no 3G available where i live. I don't know how this affects battery life.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Senna_S:
Same here, using FRX07.1 on Topaz, the device wakes up but the screen is still black. When you cross the screen with your finger on the place where you should to go from lockscreen to homescreen, it works. So just imagine the black screen is your magic lockscreen :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] :
The FRX07.1 ist much better then FRX07..

on frx07 i often have problems, that my phone reboots after entering haret.exe, but that problems has been fixed now.. Great Work
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mowlwoorf:
Ich werde dies auch mal die Tage ausprobieren, da das Handy noch bei mir rumfliegt und ich so oder so keine Verwendung mehr dafür habe. Eventuell ändert es sich, sobald ich Android darauf laufen habe :D

Ich werde es sehen :)

Danke schon mal an die Entwickler und Köche der ROM`s für das Topaz. Alles andere wie selbstverständlich!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
You're welcome... but please stick to English in the future ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mowlwoorf:
Sorry guys, my fault :)

I just said, that i tested this ROM in the next days (and now :) for first time) because my Topaz is unused in a box and no one use it... too old u know? :D

I used it maybe more, when Android is running on it and it makes fun ;)

Will see.

Thanks to all rom makers that u do anything for the topaz. Im wondering about that.

Have Fun...

P.S. first booting the haret.exe it stays and nothing will happen... :/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Can you elaborate...? Did you follow all the steps in the first post? Copy startup.txt, ts-calibration? Put everything at the root of the SD card?

Do you ever see the flying text, or boot animation (flying droids)? Seems no.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] SIRKAMUS:
No create data.img

Hi,

My phone don't work with this Bundle. I tried format with HP Tool on FAT32 and i copy all to SD Root:

>AndroidApps

>conf

> STARTUPS

HaRET.EXE

initrd.gz

modules-2.6.27.46-01348-g9de837f.tar.gz

PLACE STARTUP.TXT HERE

rootfs.img

startup.txt

system.ext2

ts-calibration

zImage

Then i run the Haret.exe on Windows Mobile , and when the phone show "Creating new data store", it displayed one list of errors and the last comment "[35.328552] note: pdfflush[19] exited with preempt_count 2". After 5 -7 minutes restart the phone on Win Mo and NO create data.img or data.img with 0KB.

I tried again but happened again. I tried others kernels(htc-msm-linux-20110627_223755-package.tar.bz2, htc-msm-linux-20110718_223029-package.tar.bz2 and htc-msm-linux-20110914_084441-package.tar.bz), other version (FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011.zip and create a data.img of 20MB but no valid) but don't work.

I have TOPA100 S/N: HT01GL10XXXX.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Everything looks good - how much free space do you have on your card...? You'll need at least 256mb after putting Android on. Last I checked the install takes a bit over 400mb - so that's why a 512mb card is the minimum.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] didixx:
thx thank you for this file

y problem is that I have no network, no wifi so I can not call

you have a solution?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
No network...? Have you checked the settings? Settings -> Wireless & Networks. Check there & the Mobile Networks section. Ensure everything is setup correctly for your carrier/service.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] didixx:
I mean the mobile network operator and not the wifi
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
As did I. I didn't mention anything about wifi in my post.

You're also providing little to no information as to what you've tried, what is actually happening, etc etc. The more information the better.
