[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
Hi folks who using a GB 2.3.4 Dev rom which has A-GPS option in Settings (such as Kennethpenn's Alien roms, Ronaldo-9's Mod roms,...) I recently figured out that I can boost up the speed of fixing GPS signal for Google Maps by installing and running GPS Essentials app from Market.

Steps:

1. Install GPS Essentials from Market

2. Turn on GPS (ofcos :D)

3. While running Maps, just launch GPS Essentials and tap on Satellites icon

You will see, just waiting for 3-4 seconds, GPS signal fixed. And just switch to Maps to use after then :)

Hi

I have updated the Tab to Touchwiz today.

I read that Cisco VPN was meant to be available - and yet I can't see it.

Am I missing something?

Do I need to download from somewhere?

I tried AnyConnect ...is that the one?

It does not seem to work with our VPN Setup

I'm with you. I don't see a Cisco VPN app, and the native VPN seems unchanged.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeruoc:
I downloaded the one from the market and it worked. It is listed as Anyconnect. Tab 10.1 is not listed but it works.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghislandi:
Does it only work with certificate mode? Our VPN is set up with group password
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chookmeister69:
Our network at work uses Group Secret IPSEC Cisco VPN with RSA Secure ID cards. I'm currently lead tech on the IPAD2 project to get all our executives using IPAD2's. We got them working without the anyconnect software using the built in Cisco VPN on the IPAD2. It connects faster than anything I've used before. Flick VPN on at the switch and it's there as soon as you put in the password. Very slick.

I was hoping for something similar on the Galaxy Tab just so I know it works. I'll download the update over the weekend and give it a shot early next week.

Once we get that working, I'll just have to get Citrix connectivity going and I'll be laughing :D

Dang. I was really hoping TW had this as advertised. I can't connect to a lot of university services from home without AnyConnect. Part of the reason I picked up the SGT10.1 was to read PDFs I downloaded from EBSCO for my research.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Scott~:
Cisco AnyConnect for Samsung devices is the VPN that was referenced as being supported after the update. It's an SSL VPN client. If you are using IPSEC then I think you can use the native Android VPN.

From my understanding, SSL needed deeper access to the OS in order to function and that's why the TouchWiz update is fixing it... because somehow TouchWiz has access to those areas of the OS that were locked. It already worked if you had root... same deal I guess. Deeper access.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccapasso:
Please keep in mind the following:

To use the Cisco AnyConnect, you will need to download the app from the market. Once you do this, you must make sure your ASA has the AnyConnect Mobile license on it. If it does not, you will not be able to use AnyConnect on your Tablet.

I have it working on mine, pre-TW and will test it after I install TW.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleblanc92:
And I had it from the market from before and can tell you that after the TW update

it's able to ping our VPN server properly and properly prompt for login details. Now to get IT to enable the license for access....

So yesterday I followed these instructions to fix up my internet speed...

Everything was fine most of the day but then somehow I lost all data in the evening.

I'm 99% sure its due to some kind of phone setting issue, because if I try and access internet services it fails literally the nanosecond I try and access - suggesting its not even trying to talk to the network.

Could someone please help and advise of all the exact settings I should have set up in the "Wireless and Network" section , particularly for "Mobile Networks", "Use Packet data" and "APN"?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuzz:
Hi, I have the I9100 from two weeks, and I had noticed that samsung phone architecture is slightly different from other android phones.

Before I9100, I had an HTC MAGIC, HTC HERO, NEXUS ONE, ZTE BLADE.. all of these phones are managed and structured in the same way: Bootloader, Recovery, and ROM.

When I get the root, I can flash the recovery, and then I'm sure that if I flash a buggy rom (with a buggy kernel) I can always start the recovery and flash another one.

In samsung is different and I can't find a technical guide on how this phone works.

It seems that the recovery is INSIDE the kernel. Then if I flash a buggy kernel I loose the recovery!

Another strange thing... why do I need to use odin? And why some of the roms (also here in xda) must be installed trough it and others trough recovery?

Why some people have flashed a buggy kernel and can't flash trough odin?

What's the download mode is used for?

Is download mode is a state of the phone that is loaded before and without the kernel?

Why I can't use rom manager (installed trough the market) to flash my recovery and I need to use the CWM that is hardcoded inside the kernel?

I need some answers because I don't wanna follow the guide without knowing what I am do.

Can someone help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuzz:
... no one answered me yet?

Are my questions, silly questions?

I looked into the guides I found here and I didn't found any answer for me..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
Well I Don't own a s2 but samsung androids are different

There is no separate recovery partition so it needs to be in the kernel/rom

So its obvious an other method is needed to flash roms if something bad happens with the current rom/kernel so odin and download mode exist
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuzz:
Very Interesting... but.. is download mode loaded before (ad instead) kernel?

If this it is a restore operation should be loaded always.. also from a complete wipe of everything right?

But.. I read somewhere that some buggy kernel does not allow odin to find the phone..

Then.. If I lose the recovery and odin does not recognize my phone... Am I in a 'deadlock' situation? :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
before you commit to buying anything... changing the front cover of your desire requires you to literally take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front, then risk breaking your screen since it's stuck to the front, then buy something to stick the screen back onto the fascia...

Hi all,

It is the stock XXJVR (Gingerbread) internet browser modified to open more than 4 windows and to select user-agent.

This mod works with odexed (stock) and deodexed rom then no need to deodex your rom to use it.

You can visit up to 16 different web site at the same time but you may miss memory before.

Note:

Once you reach the 8th windows, continue to press the "new button" and it will open an extra new window even thought that the counter will not display more than 8

To select your favorite user-agent or edit it, press the menu key, then "more" and "Set user-agent".

Don't forget to click the Thanks button on the page if you like this mod.

Contact me prior to include it into a mod, and keep my credit for the works.

i just thought i'd post this.

i had a problem with low earpiece volume with my desire. i ordered a new earpiece and when it came i took the phone apart.

upon doing so i noticed the mesh in front of the earpiece had alot of dirt and dust clogged into it.

it was the same on the actual earpiece itstelf, there was alot of dirt and dust covering the front of the earpiece itself.

i cleaned it all off and my earpiece volume is back to how it was when i purchased the phone, but because i had purchased a new earpiece i fitted it.

it is probably worth buying a new one for the sake of about £6.

hope this helps anyone with the same problem...
[Desire General] chronaden:
thanks, always nice with tips like this :>
[Galaxy S II Accessories] devilkin:
I'm having some real trouble deciding on a case. I've never used a clip on hard case or any body glove thing for any previous phone cause some people said they damage the phone if it gets dust. I also feel a lot more safe with something covering the screen like with a flip top or a decent leather pouch.

I'm an IT tech and do mostly call out or field work so I'm not always in a hazard free office environment. Something can knock against my pocket or I'll be under a dirty desk etc.

I can fairly easily get hold of a casemate or an otterbox. is this and a screen guard enough or should I be thinking of a leather case? I can get a PDair flip style but not sure I like it from the pics I've seen. I really like the look of the zenus style ones I've seen in a few other threads. Only thing is something like that I need to order from oversea or eBay and will take a while to get to me (I'm in south Africa)

Am I just paranoid because of the screen being left bare ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doc1964:
I had the barely there case on my previous Galaxy s and bought another for my s2. I only had it a day or two and thought it did not do enough to satisfy me that my phone would be protected. The corners are pretty exposed and the screen completely so.

I bought a flip over case from ebay, unable to do a link to it but if you search for

BLACK REAL LEATHER CASE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2 II i9100 on ebay it will hopefully show you the one i am talking about.

It is extremely low profile, does not add much bulk at all to your phone but i feel totally confident now with my phone when out and about. Feel as if it could survive a drop from a decent height easily. I preferred this case to others as it only has a small magnetic catch at the top holding it shut (effectively) rather than a big catch overlapping and catching when i put it in my pocket. I am sure there must be something similar, closer to home for you. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sp1tfire:
I got a PDair flip-it leather case and i'm pretty cool with it. I also put a screen protector and ta da my phone seems pretty much safe. Since the phone is really thin, i'm more confident when holding the phone with this case and it feels like i'm holding my ex phone HTC Touch HD, acceptable thickness for me. I'll upload some pic as soon as i charge my Touch HD, don't have any other camera around right now :o

I decided to give this a try after reading your post. The company here does not have the otterbox cases in stock yet. The Pdair one is almost half the price anyways. If I really dont like it or feel I need something else then i'll get the otterbox also.
