[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boticelli:
Hi,

I am using a Samsung Galaxy 3 with android 2.2 and I want to install some application what is downloadad from many different sources.

I have red many questions about this issue but could not find a solution to solve it.

So now here is my problem:

1. I copy the choosen .apk file on my SD card.

2. I have downloaded ASTRO file manager.

3. I have ticked the option installing non-android applications.

4. I want to open the apk file from there but when I click on app installer I onyle get a blank screen and under the details I receive the following error message:

Could not open xy.apk as APK file.

I am really going mad now I have reading forums for ages.

Please help!!!

Thanks

In the meantime I have also copied some music files on my mobile, these are all MP3, works fine on my comp however when I wanted to play it on my mobile with several music players it said the file format is not supported...

Something is really messed up here...

The phone used to have 2.1 and I made the update manually but after the update I am having these kind of problems...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
I have a Dell Laptop with Win7-64 Bit. I had connected the phone using bluetooth and it was working fine. Was showing under devices and in My Computer there was a folder I9003 from where I could browse.

Some days back I noticed that the folder cannot be opened. The open option is gone. I have tried to remove the device and reinstall but nothing seems to work. The device is added in shows in Devices and Printers. I get a "control" command in context menu but on clicking this there are only audio connect options. When I send a file from the phone, it gives connection error.

Tried all sorts of things, removed all bluetooth drivers and also the adapter and rebooted / reinstalled and then connected the phone but nothing works.

Hope someone can give me some good suggestions before this thread is moved to the I9000 section.

p.s should i change from gen 1 to gen to using tpt upgrade? does gen 2 have btter roms?

Simply upgrade to GEN 2 and go for one of the best roms. Try each of these 3 for a week and then you will know which is the best for you. They are all great but each have different advantages.

The best roms are currently:-

but it says None of the downloads on this page will work if your phone was sold with or operator upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo

im running the swedish swing blade which is 2.2 so how do i change? and what is MD5s?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Have you tried those Blade Wi-Fi fix apps from the Market?
[Blade General] irishpancake:
But that's OK, as you bought a GEN1...like you say here in OP:

And Orange have not updated to GEN2, AFAIK......

Also, for speed, less lag, you can overclock with No Frills ...you have it with SS. Also, set VM Heap to 32M, (think that may be done already in this ROM).

And I suggest also Launcher Pro from Market, if you get WiFi fixed!!!

For the WiFi, did you wipe/wipe/wipe before flashing with Swedish Spring?

Did WiFi work on original Stock ROM?.......is your PSK and Encryption is set up OK?

Use "show password" when connecting to your Network, from settings/Wireless & Networks/Tap Wi-Fi settings/Tap your network(ssid)/make sure your WEP or WPA password is correct.

Does it work OK with other devices?

Do you have MAC address filtering in Router, if so check Phone MAC, or disable in router.

Is DHCP set up in router. Is phone set to Static IP?

More info in this networking tutorial
[Blade General] mickeystar:
thanks but i updated to gingerstirfry which was much easier than i thought and wifi is working fine!

however not all of my music on storage is showing on the music player? i used a music app from the market but still the same problem
[Blade General] tsddave:
Ok good to hear you made the right move rom wise :)

Without knowing what audio app you are using it is hard to advise but almost all of the ones I have used need to be told where you have your mp3 files.

I make a folder and call it mp3 or music and then point the program to it and all is good.The standard player in gsf called "music" will pick up your files automatically I think.

Another suggestion:- Try Go launcher ex and also the dialer and sms apps from Go.

They are free and are as good as or even better than anything you pay for.

Go also offer a huge range of widgets and themes for everything also. I use go on my phone and also my tablet.
[Blade General] mickeystar:
thanks im using standard music player, but have tried many others with no luck, also im using handsent sms which is quite nice and launcherplus

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
I don't think this is my phone's fault.

It's running Darky ROM, but gets stuck in the boot showing the glowing S logo, but goes no further. I can get into recovery mode, and when I clear cache and restore factory settings it boots once, but then on subsequent boots gets stuck again. The ROM is probably broken.

I'm attempting to flash back to a stock ROM, but Odin is not recognizing the phone when I plug it in in download mode. I can get to download mode just fine, but nothing happens when I plug it in. I've tried different USB ports, pulling battery and every other suggestion that Google has scraped off the web.

I'm running Win7 64 bit.

I think the problem is USB drivers. Is there a way for me to clear out all auto installed USB drivers and start from scratch? Are there any driver packs that I need? What can I do to diagnose the USB drives that are installed? USB device driver installation has always been a cross finger voodoo thing for me. Plug in the device, hope it works. Because it usually does, I've never delved into the mysterious workings of the USB driver world. Now it seems I have to. Any help getting Odin to work would be highly appreciated.

upgrading seems quite complex, reading this tut

http://android.modaco.com/topic/3377...2-tpt-upgrade/

but it says None of the downloads on this page will work if your phone was sold with or operator upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo

[Blade General] k0zmic:
It's not that complex.

Is your phone the UK San Francisco? If so then it's neither sold or operator upgraded to Froyo and the TPT will work.

Use the All in one Ginger Stir Fry TPT if you want to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hi

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is a UK spec with TouchWiz installed already. The software version is in the pic attached.

Can I download a stock file of this software version so I can reinstall if anything goes wrong?

I planned to follow this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171089) to try and root the tab, and I believe that the file that I have downloaded from there has the stock recovery already.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
You're running the same firmware as I am on my Tab, the firmware on the Samfirmware site appears to be for the Euro Tab, but it looks like an earlier version. I'd like to know if anyone has used it to restore their Tab and if it updates itself to our later version.

I'm still very reluctant to root my Tab, until I can find the right software to revert it back to how it is now. Just in case I ever need to make a warranty claim.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Well so far I have installed ClockworkMod and made a backup of the tab before being setup.

I have already tested and I can easily go back to stock recovery if needed. I havent installed a new ROM yet though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Does CWM save the backup to the internal memory? I'm guessing it has to.

If you do install the firmware mentioned above, please let me know if it updates OTA to our supplied version. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Yeah it backs up to internal memory.

Could you do me a favour, could you boot your tab into recovery and tell me if it says 2e or 3e at the top?

Just because I can't remember what mine said before I flashed clockworkmod, and when I reflashed stock, I am sure it was different?

You did NOT provide enough information so we can't help you.

Eg. Does your phone give an error connecting or does it not detect WiFi at all? Does your WiFi works elsewhere such as your office?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibr4him:
Oh sorry.

Phone detects all available networks, but can't join/use them. The error is:

"Connection Unsuccessful - Your phone couldn't reach the WiFi network xyz"

Yes, tried creating a network with my Macbook and joining, but that didn't work either.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbadry:
Have you tried to connect using Wired connection (when your phone is connected to PC with Zune launched)? I just want to make sure that connecting to internet and getting and IP is not the problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibr4him:
Yes, that works. So I turned off 'Data Connection' from settings, connected to PC and opened Zune. I can access internet on the phone, even checked the IP, it seems to be using the PCs connection. Removed the USB cable, and there's no internet.

So yes, that works which confirms that there's physical fault in the phone, just a bug?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbadry:
I had similar problem with my university wireless connection. After several access with Zune, the problem was fixed. And by the way, it may not be a hardware problem since your device detects the available network.

Perhaps you need to visit a phone shop.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibr4him:
