- open with Editor or Wordpad (NOT with Office)

- search for the first occurance of "Browser"

- prepend the following before <Browser>:

<SocialHub>
<SocialHubType>premium</SocialHubType>
</SocialHub>

- save customer.xml / close editor

- drag the edited customer.xml over the STune-Window where the old one is

- Now go to Osp/Applications/2482tqy39g/Data in STune

OK. Now a question of mine:

How to use the apps downloaded while using XPKG5 on SD, after updating to XPKG6? Those apps are still on the SD, but they don't show up?

its very unstable
[Bada Software and Hacking General] hisee:
we cant insll any thing through Kies
[Bada Software and Hacking General] hisee:
laggy or what?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lakhfif:
yes it's freezing and a debug screen showing many times
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Setialpha:
It's only very unstable, if you don't change debugging to "Low". On "Middle" or "High" the unstableness is desired to be able to get all debugging infos.

It's a bit laggy after start (though not limited to Bada 2.0) and after closing an application. Most of the time it runs very smooth.

About Palringo: you can install version 3.19.x via browser, navigate to mobi.palringo.com and choose "unsigned version" (signed is for Wave with Bada 1.x, which has Palringo out-of-the-box). Also Palringo offers additional protocolls not (yet?) covered by Samsungs IM.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] crionic:
It's alot better than before,although has some of the previous issues.I even sucseeded in installing one widget and Caligo Chaser.Other than that Facebook app works,but not as fast as i would like.

In samsung apps for some reason i am not allowed to buy any apps due to invalid password.Doesn't matter how many times i write it down it still shows error 3007 -invalid password.

Edit:

Found one really cool feature.When in menu point a folder and drag it down.It will reveal you the contents of the folder :)

Edit:

I forgot,that the same feature is in the gallery too.

guys I flashed the firmware properly without any problems and its running very smoothly...

but games form samsung apps are still not working... I tried asphat 5, nfs shift and turbo granny ..

all of them get stuck at the loading screen, just like they would in xpk5....

and the other problem I was facing is that I enabled SHP using stune but whenever I try to turn on push notifications, I get an error saying "registration failed"...

push notifications worked in xpjg6....

Can someone help me with this problem??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] bball2112:
i flashed it and its working perfectly, its awesome. just one thing does anyone know how to delete app pages? i know how to create them but now theres like 9 random empty ones :P thanks
[Bada Software and Hacking General] hany0u:
I had to switch to "low" or google app and other applications would not open and the blue screen appeared.

The Facebook app is unstable in my case. If I send a status update works, but if I try to comment on my status or the status of someone the app crash . I can only write in status through the social hub, but there does not have all the features like the app.

Gmail only downloaded the first 50 messages stored in e-mail (which are 2007), I can not get recent messages.

The apps that I installed did not work.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Setialpha:
On the home-screen sweep with two fingers from the outside of the screen to the inside (as you would zoom an image smaller), that will open the overview. Sweep the other way round to get back (or press menu button.

About the XPKG6 and Kies:

- Phone fully recognized

- SamsungApps fully working from Kies

- "New" Tab in Kies to import/export stuff like Memos, Apps, Contacts or (Network)-Settings and more.

("New" because it's simply hidden for older Bada)

So unlike some people said it's NOT fake. But veeerrry useful for people like us flashing full FWs often.

I guess the save-data from the games is backed-up, too, though I haven't played one yet on the new FW, so I can't say it now.

About Facebook App:

For me it's fully working, but it takes awfully long until the screen for commenting/liking appears (it's white for about 10 - 20 seconds, so don't quit it, just wait a bit)

About Java Apps:

- as I already said Palringo is installable (I put wrong link previously, correct one is: palringo.com or palringo.mobi > download "unsigned version")

- can now be stored on SD Card (already with previous beta, but no one seemed to mention it)

Random:

- Camera fully working, both Video and Foto mode (some said Camera crashes)

- takes several secons to "recover" from a quit app, until repsonsive again

After all the "Bada 2.0 is getting more and more amazing"-feeling doesn't stop. :)

Forget about Android, BSD is more 1337 as Linux ;)

.avi files are not playing...

does any one whether the video player will play .avi files.. with 1.2 version, the video player used to play .avi files.. now with .2.0.1, it says invalid format...

request your help to play .avi files...

thanks...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Setialpha:
@hany0u

Yes, I can. (Hint: if it doesn't load the comments/comment-form, tap the refresh arrows on the top-right, that works for me).

@aadhi

Well, AVI is *not* a format. It's just a container.

Example AVI Container => MPEG Layer II Video + MPEG Layer III Audio

To know whether it's supported or not, we would need to know what is inside the container. But: you're right, several videos don't play atm, mostly due to audio bitrates and similar. But I'm sure it will be fixed until final 2.0 (why should Samsung decrease functionality?).

[Bada Software and Hacking General] ajaypalnitj:
GOOD things

i tried the backup restore thing in KIES n its working almost perfect. i mean most of stuff i could restore , even some settings

able to install apps thru kies

NDRIVE s working so ppl can use it for navigation, in india also. find the way to use :)

facebook app s pretty cool n m loving the places n chat features..

GPS lock s pretty much better than before

twitter app s also good, though takes some time to start n hangs sometimes..

battery usage s better than last version of 2.0 :)

new ROUTE66 is also good.. didnt try download maps for offline but online is pretty good stuff.. the POIs are updated and almost correct. ( DELHI, NOIDA etc) have not tried the navigation but "drive to" etc options are working well.

finally a bigger caller pic. ( was there in last beta also :))

rest as mentioned folders, shortcuts etc are working.

Just one thing - when i sync a contact using FB into my contacts n then remove it, i could not again put it in my contacts by any means so had to remove FB account n then add n then sync. kinda sucks.

the reason why i removed was - i lik a FB contact wit my phone contact. now when i make a change to say my phone contact photo , FB contact's "activities, media etc" features r missing. so i deleted n thought to resync etc n put again but no luck. any suggestions ??

all in all i am loving this new bada 2.0 :)

Just got Google Maps 5.8.0,

It has Pre-caching in the Labs. Now that's great, but it only covers 10 miles.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this area larger and maybe change the Cache location.

What would be great is if we could just get a square up on the map scale it to the size we want to cache!

Many thanks

It's been so annoying having the power cord to be so short. And I don't want to spend like 30 bucks for something longer. So, I just cut it up in half, insert in between 6 feet of cable, and voila! Testing it now. Just saw the power % go from 93 to 94. Woohoo, success!
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
nice! What cable did you use?
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I just use a 6-foot one of these to plug the OEM charger into:

Cost <$3 and no risk of messing up the OEM cable by splicing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
smarta** lol jk. You have a good point but I think the object is to have something a little cleaner lol
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I have a kazillion adaptors lying around. I just cut the cord from one of those and insert.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Haha. What's cleaner than an extension cord? Splicing together multiple cords and covering with electrical tape? :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] cd85233:
I did something similar. Took an old USB cable, nipped the connector and stripped the cables. Used the ground of the USB cable for the ground on the adapter. I ended up using 3 of the USB cables to get some better gauge on the wire to the + of the adapter. Works great! Put some heat shrink on and it looks awesome.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
But the big black box will be pulled along if you wanna use your iconia while plugged in.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Pulled along? Are you dancing with A500 while it's plugged in or...? Haha.

Just kidding -- I know what you're saying. And to be honest, Acer has got to be the cheapest bastards in the entire tablet industry for not adding US$0.20 worth of wire to make the the charger an industry standard length. I mean, c'mon...is two feet of wire really that much of a production deal-breaker for them?

But back on your project, personally, I would only do what you did with an extra or maybe 3rd-party charger -- not the OEM one. But that's just me. I'd rather just use the extension cord until a longer, cheap alternative charger is found.

You still get a "Thanks" from me (if for no other reason than tolerating my smart-a$$ remarks)! ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] SirSunshine:
Do you actually own this one? I wrote the seller on a similar item to ask if it was an adapter or an actual extension for the same sized plugs. Didn't get a particularly clear answer which is concerning.

They may be selling generic power packs and using the 'extension' cables to make them fit various computers, tablets, etc... In that case, it wouldn't fit with the original adapter.

Check if you have 'fastboot.exe' in your platform-tools folder (it might be in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools) If it is in tools, just drag it into platform-tools and try again.
