OK. I have to give dailysteals some credit for there most recent communication with me. They may suck with their shipping organization but their customer service seems to be decent.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Yes, I received the same email from Nicki. Since than, we've exchanged 3 more emails. She assured me it'd be shipped today and even offered to refund the shipping. I asked if she could upgrade the shipping but said since the labels had already been printed they could not change it. Nicki made it sound as though there was a delay from the supplier. At least she's trying to help and I feel a little better now.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
hahaha we think alike. That is exactly what I told Nicki. I told her to upgrade the shipping and printing out another label shouldn't be a problem. I told her that my problem wasn't the cost of the shipping its the delay in the actual shipping. She hasn't responded since.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Something tells me they still haven't received these galaxy's from their supplier. Refunding shipping is a great way to get customers off their back. They most certainly can cancel shipping labels. I was told to contact her if the tracking number isn't scanned into the system within 24-48 hours which is what I was told last week. I'll give her credit for trying but these things will be obsolete before we get them.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I gotta give them credit all around. They could've just said oh well screw them. They get them when they get them. I can appreciate them trying to make it right but I do agree with you on not believing they even have them now. I don't think they do either.

Looking and smelling like a scam already

This is looking like a carefully orchestrated scam already. Hope it is not!
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
Man, I come back from the weekend to this.

By the time they ship the next-generation of samsung tablets will be out.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I edited my review just in case anyone is curious.
[Galaxy Tab General] Littlefield:
Please wait for a site operator to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Sarah'

Sarah: Hi There! Welcome to DailySteals Live Chat. How can I assist you today?

you: Hey, just wondering if you had an update on the Tab, noticed it doesn't look like it's actually shipped yet

you: (even though it has a tracking no.)

Sarah: Please provide me with your email address & order number so I can further assist you.

you: xxlittlefield@xxxxx.com

you: xxxxxx

Sarah: This will be going out today, there was a delay with these items some shipped Friday and the rest are being picked up by Ups today

you: is it being shipped by UPS Ground?

Sarah: Yes, it may take 5-7 business days to arrive

you: Crap, is there any way to expedite the shipping? I

you: I bought this for work and was hoping to have it by beginning of last week

Sarah: I'm really sorry we cannot ship this order with expedited shipping

total bummer: what if i pay more?!

Sarah: I'm really sorry, we don't have expedited shipping at this time.I can try to pull your order off the line if you'd like and we can refund yu.

total bummer: do you promise it's going out today?

total bummer: if so i can probably hold off

total bummer: if it's actually going to continue to be delayed i may want to have a refund

Sarah: It looks like it on the schedule

total bummer: so i'll have it by early next week?

Sarah: It can take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Sarah: It should arrive early next week.

total bummer: okay, will i get a confirmation e-mail that it shipped later today then?

Sarah: We have tracking, the number is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and it should update within 24-48 hrs

total bummer: okay, well hopefully it'll ship soon

Sarah: Would you like it shipped?

total bummer: umm

Sarah: It will ship today, I just confirmed this with our warehouse.

total bummer: okay, i'll keep the order then

Sarah: Great!

total bummer: guess that's all for now, been really great chatting with you

total bummer: if someone from dailysteals is coming to chicago soon they can personally drop it off

Sarah: I don't think that will work, feel free to contact us with any further questions!

total bummer: didn't think so
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I think our biggest problem is not understanding exactly how their business works. It seems like their warehouse does all the shipping and it may not even be theirs. I don't know. It seems like they don't function the same way as most online stores.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
I wonder how long you wait before you throw in the towel. If UPS picked them up this evening, they would've been scanned into the system. I agree with you, it's probably out of their control. I'm just tired of being played like a fiddle. :(
[Galaxy Tab General] mrdonbonjovi:
I see some movement on my package... lets hope they arrive and actually work.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Is that just today? Or have you seen movement since last week?
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
Here's what I got.

[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Two days to get to NJ. Not bad. But have you noticed the weight hasn't changed?
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
Yeah I won't be home Tuesday :( So ill get it wens.

I wonder why the weight hasn't changed. When is everyone else's expected delivery.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Yes, movement! No delivery date yet, but this is promising.

And now I have a delivery date. Same as most, the 29th.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I still don't have an delivery date. Maybe something will happen tonight
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Keep checking, I never had anything until about 8:30 PM Central Time US.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Oh i have what you have you but no delivery date.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Alright i got a delivery date. Mine is set for the 29th but still no change in weight.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Here's one of my two leather cases that I'm anxiously waiting to try on.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
And the second one.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Is this one made by scosche? I had one of these for my galaxy tab 7inch and it was fantastic. Slim profile and protective.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
It's this one. It's very similar to the Scosche but the reviews we're a bit better.

The 2nd one is made by AYL otherwise known as Yoobao.

[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
You will have to let us know how that works. I'm guessing i'm going to be needing a case but i'm likely to sell this thing once that Samsung Series 7 Slate comes out :P

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

I'm still trying to have a case that i can use the USB adapter on so i can hook up an external drive. I might just have to get that desktop dock or something.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
If Apple ever comes out with a retina display on their iPad 3 than I'll buy it but I'll keep my Galaxy Tab. You can never have enough toys.
[Galaxy Tab General] mrdonbonjovi:
Mine should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it up and running and let you know the condition in which to expect yours.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I'm considering designing an adapter for the desktop dock that has a USB port and a 30pin connector for charging and using the USB device at the same time. I haven't quite figured it all out yet but I will keep you guys posted on whatever i come up with :)
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
We should probably move to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sub-forum now :P

[Caution] Lot's of questions below [Caution]

So what's the deal with the current multimedia dock?

I only has an audio output with a 30 pin passthrough?

When the tab is connected to any PC it should charge right? So why would you need to modify it do both?
[Galaxy Tab General] mrdonbonjovi:
I have a 3D Printer at work. Make a model and send me a STEP to critique and print! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
The current multimedia dock only has a 30pin passthrough so if you connect the USB kit to it and connect a USB harddrive it won't charge the device while the USB is being used. This may be because of how the connections are setup but it seems like a stupid idea for a multimedia device.

I'm thinking if i design a 30pin connector module that has a USB port and another 30PIN that should give you two abilities, keep in mind i haven't drawn a schematic for this yet, but the main abilities would be charging while using a USB harddrive as well as the ability to use non powered USB drives with the tab. If I can work the schematic correctly. I'm going to start a conceptual block diagram tonight and maybe even capture part of the schematic. Shoot i might even layout the board lol.. Who knows.
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
I wish I had an EE background sometimes and not Finance : (

Anyways, the HDMI adapter for the Tab 10.1 is interesting because it is basically what you want to do except with a USB port instead of HDMI (or maybe have both :O ) You plug in the adapter to the tab then this block at the end of the cable allows you to plug in a 30 pin charging cable and an HDMI port.

If you could somehow replicate the HDMI adapter design except swap in a USB port it would allow you to charge the tablet as well as giving you USB access for a Hard Drive. This could then be connected to the media dock passthrough (IDK why its called a media dock when theres nothing media about it). This may be easier to accomplish vs designing a whole new dock

edit: I was lurking in the 10.1 section and saw your new thread. headed over there.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Well the only issue there is that you still will not be able to use a non powered USB hard drive which i can find pretty useful. I'm also gonna talk to a SW Engineer i know about the possibility of creating a driver to allow for hardwire connection for internet access. Then i can add a Ethernet port on the dock too.
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
Since you are considering this project.

http://shop.kineteka.com/products/200-samsung-tabbreakout.aspx

It makes it easy for testing i think. IDK
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
One step ahead of ya :) I've been through that site all morning :) It seems that I need to identify which pin is the charger input. I'm going to have to do some research and apparently someone is already working on this. Maybe I can just help them out :)
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
As I am not home until friday, has anyone received and opened their dailysteals delivery yet?

Im interested in the condition of these refurb units
[Galaxy Tab General] CLEV3R:
I have open and received my tab playin with it now its very nice. im having trouble connecting to my wifi though. i think it may be my wifi. details soon.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Couple of questions, Retail box or oem box? Does it look new or used?

Pictures?
[Galaxy Tab General] CLEV3R:
Ok it comes in a regular white box that say refurbished usa. comes with charger, headphones, and extra ear buds. Tab look new ill post pics if you guys wanna see
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Doesn't look like I'm the only person using a MBP with this :) 17" appears.

You have any pics of the box?

Does it come with 3.1 or 3.2?
[Galaxy Tab General] CLEV3R:
comes with 3.1well mine did
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Thanks. It's a pretty nondescript box. My bad on 3.2, it's not available yet for the Sammy yet. Maybe never since Ice cream coming out shortly.
[Galaxy Tab General] mrdonbonjovi:
Got mine and it works well. Refurbished white box, charger, usb, headphones, no cosmetic damage and got onto my google account in minutes.

I got this case and it works very well. Very similar to the smart case for the ipod except this clips onto the back. For $20 I would def recommend this. Its small, tight, and doesn't obstruct anything except the dock when closed (find me a case that doesn't).
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
Hooray... Looks like they are finally trinkling in. I get mine today. I should be creating this adapter in the coming weeks. The parts are only 2 dollars. I just have find out how much the pwb is
[Galaxy Tab General] Bxsteez:
I got my Gtab this morning. It looks fantastic. So far no issues but I've only had it for about 20 mins. I will report back with any issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Sucks for me, I must've received the only bad one. It must have a bad digitizer because there's a dead spot on the screen. When I went to shut off the clicking in the sounds menu under settings, the screen is unresponsive. When I turn it upside down and the screen rotates, it works great. I've spoken with somebody at Nukousa who refurbs these and they seem really concerned. So, it's already back on the UPS truck for a replacement. :(

Iv'e included a short video that shows the problem with the sounds tab. It's a mp4 file thats been compressed.
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:

[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
That sucks. I recieved mine but wont be home until this friday.

I hope i dont have your luck. Btw who is nukousa?
[Galaxy Tab General] mcfanman:
Not much info on them. There's a warranty card inside the box that says, if there's a problem with this unit, don't return, call this toll free number. From what I gather they're a remanufacturing company. Lot's of refurbish Xbox 360 and game consoles come from them. The person I spoke with was very helpful and friendly. I was hoping I could do a cross ship but no luck. Do not peel your stickers off the back because it WILL void your warranty.
[Galaxy Tab General] jerseypilot:
Great.... I was hoping that these were Samsung Re-certified not 3rd party refurbs :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eugenius53190:
Is there anyway I can downgrade my EVO back to 2.2 without a computer? When I first bought my phone it was already gingerbread, HELP PLEASE NO COMPUTER
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
If you are rooted you can download the ruu for 2.2 or just flash a 2.2 ROM. If not then no. You need the computer to push the root files.

Sent from a long time ago in the future.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedestrian Man:
there is no way to go back you are now stuck, my I suggest that you root it?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

yeah with no computer the best way would be to buy rom manager full version and do it all through there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
Is there any specific reason that you want to go back to 2.2?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I figured it would be easier for me to maintain a separate thread for these ports and easier for all of you to find the ports themselves.

All credit for the original artwork goes to artoodeetoo. The only thing I did was port and add 100% icons for the tiamat rom, so all props go to him.

I assume no responsibility for anything you might do to your xoom...that being said, I have personally tested both of these and my xoom is still running.

Bugs and such

To report a bug for one of these ports, please let me know which one it is so I can properly post it.

Wifi Only:

None atm

Moray:

1) Charging animation seems off...will continue to play even when fully charged.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ZoenChina:
Hey, That for wifi only... can flash for Xoom CMDA ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
There is one for that posted by the original creator. You can just flash that one and you should be good.

Edit: I just saw that his wasn't a flashable zip so I made one for ya...its in the OP now
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
Regarding Moray charging animation : I find the animation continues when fully charged in stock Moray too, so probably not something you did. Going to download and try this now :-D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
OK seemed to install great on my UK Wifi Moray setup! Whoo!

Can anyone post the wallpaper used in the screenshots? Mine stayed at the one I had before.

Managed to set up the Beautiful Widgets themes after going back to the main thread and reading those installation instructions.

Will be setting up Circle Launcher stuff once I've managed to purchase it (having some issues atm)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] LPHS:
awesome will try it asap
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Yeah I have the same issue.need the wall paper

Also my icons didn't change nor did the clock widget. What is the name of it to download from beautiful widgets? Any idea about the icons? I may try to wipe and start fresh but was sad when most of the changes did not show up. Love the boot animation by the way
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
The beautiful widget icons and circle launcher icons need to be installed manually. Unzip the .zip you downloaded to install the theme.

There are two folders that you're looking for in particular: sdcardExtras and sdExtras2

sdcardExtras contains the beautiful widget themes:

Move the "BatterySGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/bskins

Move the "ClockSGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/scskins

Move the "WeatherSGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/wskins

The themes will now appear in the lists when you customise Beautiful Widgets under "Appearance"

sdExtras2 contains the icons that you can set using Circle Launcher. This requires the paid for version in order to be able to use "custom icons". I assume you just create a widget that's a shortcut to the app you want and give it the icon you want from inside this folder, though as I said I had trouble purchasing earlier so haven't had chance to experiment
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Thank you thank you thank you

Edit...I have no bskins folder...can I just make that myself? Also is anyone browser crazy slow and finicky now?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
Hmmm I had a bskins folder but it was empty, so my guess is yes you can just create it. Make sure it's named correctly though, mine is all lowercase.

Not had chance to play with it since I installed this morning, so not had chance to test the browser yet, sorry.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Yeah I tried that but the image doesn't show...also my market is having problems downloading circle launcher. Keeps saying that I need to sign in to my account then when I do, it endlessly downloads..sigh
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
Try deleting the bskins folder you made, and creating a battery widget using Beautiful Widgets, and trying to download a battery theme for it, see if it creates the folder for you?

I got Circle Launcher declining purchase and not declining and various things, so I refunded it, and I'll try later when it's had chance to process all the changes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I am going to set up the circle launcher now so I can verify it working. I will confirm that it works later. As far as beautiful widgets, I just don't use them so I don't know if they work.

EDIT: I think there may be an issue with the gallery on tiamat because any new images I put on the sd card do not show up in the gallery so I can't set a custom icon

EDIT 2: Flash this to fix your gallery:will be posted after class (about noon CST)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
I got the circle widgets working but cannot get the awesome wall paper...still having battery skin issues but it is probably just me being retarded
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
Hmmm come to think of it I haven't actually tried a widget of the battery so I don't know if mine works for that either....and still waiting for someone to post the wallpaper too

Also the .nomedia files aren't working for me: the images I copied to the BW folders and the circle launcher icons are all showing in my gallery :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
I tried to flash this and I get an error. I'm using US Wifi only and I flashed Moray.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Jamibu:
Did you definitely flash the right port?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
I chose this one:

Stargate for Moray

MD5: fc40163fee5b92ddb9d437d0087b54ee

I downloaded the file again and I'm getting the same error. By the way I'm using Rogue Recovery 1.1.0 (CWM). Here is the output when I try to flash the file:

Stargate is being applied now...

Extracting Data Files...

Extracting Extra Files to SD Card...

E: Error in /sdcard/StargateMoray.zip

(Status 0)

Installation Aborted

I deleted the old file before downloading the file again. Any tips would be appreciated.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
Art posted the wallpaper in the other thread. My issue was apparently you cannot post both battery and weather icon at the same time on the super clock and to use battery only you need to check it on the drop down in appearance tab.

Might be your recovery...I am us wifi and had no problem. I assume you are wiping cache and dalvik for good measure?
[About XDA developers] iLiberate:
I understand that this is a developer site and that the portal page is meant to display news for developers or about accomplishments made by developers (developer related news) but why so few updates on upcoming devices? Seems to me that XDA could easily be covering most of the stuff that engadget reports. Just that this is the only thing stopping XDA from being a one stop shop for anything Android related for me. Thoughts?
[About XDA developers] orb3000:
Lets remember we are not an Android only forum.

News Writers team is focused to bring the best of development inside XDA, but we include some information regarding new devices as well.

In General section you´ll find the hottest info on the latest out there.

Thanks for your suggestion tough, if you read a nice story while surfing XDA please PM us.
[About XDA developers] iLiberate:
I understand that. While I would be looking for Android device news I'd also expect there to be Windows mobile and iPhone news as well. It just seems that these news pieces are sometimes as vital to developers as any other news that is published and as you said most of it can already be found somewhere on the forums so it just seems intuitive to publish more of it on the Portal to allow easier access to the information. I certainly see your point, I was just curious.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Developers want to see code. I close the portal tab if i see noobish stuff like "omg omg the new htc xyz is out. Many other devs do the same.

Had it been a dump of firmware for it, that's interesting :)

But the announcement of yet another sub standard handset is barely newsworthy... I mean, the new WP7 phones are not even dual core :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TheHighlightGuy:
Hey all, I just got an update from Samsung despite checking just a few days ago. It was a minor update (~4MB) but the "minor fixes" description it gave wasn't very, well, descriptive. Anyone know what came with this update? Also, I've attached a screenshot of my kernel and build version.

Thanks to all in advance!
