[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Dont have to challege, numbers show that htc out sold samsung and apple this quarter. Personally i love my 3d and its head and shoulders ahead of the og evo and every other phone ive owned. U read on xda and it makes htc sound bad because most love stock android. I think that makes up the smallest % of phone users and is one reason apple is praised for their os.
[HTC EVO 3D] xeper:
I still like their devices quite a bit. Not a challenge, it's a matter of opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I had to return mine and get a replacement due to a very crooked screen but you know what? Sh*t happens. Take a look around. All these companies are cranking new stuff out faster than is humanly possible if you want to release a perfect device that will guarantee no problems. Look at Apple and their last two iPhones. They're supposed to be tops in quality and manufacturing. But look at the iPhone 4 and "antennagate", the free bumpers, the screens turning yellow and green. And now the 4S with the battery life issues.

Bottom line: almost everything produced today has early release issues. You want a perfect device: be willing to pay 2x what you pay today for it and wait longer for it! Hell, even IF you release a perfect product, there will still be whiners.

I say HTC is on par with the best.

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Well there is such a device lol, it is on the carrier to request them.

The EVO 4G+ would be that phone. :p

I'm pretty happy with HTC.

What I hate is their policy as far as the bootloaders go & their pathetic timing & quality of the kernel source releases.

Embrace the community 100% or go screw yourself.

They need to fire the team who works on them. Samsung does this right & from what I hear so does Sony, HTC has no excuse not to.

The largest mobile 3rd party Dev community STARTED with HTC devices under the XDA-model line of phones, they should be the ones flaunting & the standing poster-OEM for this.

I do like HTC's upgrade-ability situation, the EVO 4G was a shining example of this.

I like HTC Sense & will continue to buy models with HTC Sense.

I also like the Dev following & the kernel devs who've rolled with us on Sprint/HTC.

And with that, I'll continue to be a HTC user.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Well the htc evo design is out. Any word on how it is? I wouldnt downgrade from my 3d but i would bump up my wifes nexus s 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Good luck with that POS. Before you make the leap of death, go over to the Epic Touch 4G forums and see their issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
+1 to this

Had the EVO 3d on launch

Sold it and bought a et4g

And traded it for a ps3 And a lnib EVO 3d

Why?

Better build quality and many problems with LOS and faulty input/charger problem

It was hella faster tho :/ damn HTC and there failed hardware acceleration
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
My question is, will it renew my contract if I do this? The person that I'm on a plan with wants to stay off contract.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
I don't see why it would. Its just a change in your data plan. Not a contact renewel. I did not have to renew.

There its a huge thread for the data trick here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008698&highlight=iphone+2
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Thank you for your reply.

Yeah I was originally on that thread trying to browse through it. But like you said it's a "huge" thread and using the xda app is about useless when using the search button lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
Yeah, search is awful on the xda app.

Basically, I did the iTunes 2g thing. It just made me agree to the $20 a month edge network plan. My infuse worked fine but I got the text that tells you to get a 3g or better plan. So I went into the store, nobody had "unlimited" come up on their screens. I called 611 a few times before I found someone chill and I figured out how to word what I wanted without sounding sketchy. I was Hella nice and asked the rep if she could see "smartphone personal" on her screen. I'm doing the $35 plan w/ 200 texts.

Also, I just checked and my contract renewel is still may 2013, so it was unaffected by the data plan change
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
I have another question, if someone can answer =]

So I activated the plan with the iPhone. Now I was wondering if I can use that same SIM card and put it into my infuse without using the data so they wont ask me to upgrade my plan.

So in other words, check off the part in the settings in the infuse that says "Data Enabled" and still be able to use the same SIM card that I used to activate the iPhone 2g. Or will they be able to detect the switch and send me a notification to upgrade my plan?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
its better that they detect it. so they can switch you over to the 4G unlimited data. and either way they will know what phone you are using.

if you activated the iPhone already, just go ahead and call in and tell them to switch you over to the data unlimited that you are no longer using that iPhone. thats what i did when i activated the data unlimited when i had the Atrix. they shouldn't give you a buzz about it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Yeah I know. I can't afford the 4g unlimited for $30 at the moment until I find another job. I wasn't ever on a data plan to begin with, I've been using my Infuse on wifi. I did the data trick so I can at least have it already on my plan till I can afford it, so it will be more of a credible reasoning for them to switch me onto the unlimited smartphone data, since ill have it for a while.

I was mainly asking if I can switch between phones, having it so my Infuse doesn't use any data, seeing that I see that option in system settings.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Verizon has started updating the tabs to 2.3.5 today. Probably will take a few days for everyone to get it though. Just thought I would share.

Edit: thanks to jason62082 we now have a link to download the update.zip! Enjoy everyone and be sure to thank Jason for pulling it from his tab and uploading it!

http://www.4shared.com/file/gcShvhXN/f82098f8b3f7update_SCH-I800_EC.html
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
if you've received the OTA you should pull the .zip and upload it to provide a link for everyone else. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
Screenshot and or zip or you don't have it yet...
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
No, I dont have it yet. I work for them and just letting u know they started it today. I am patiently waiting for it now. Just wanted to let everyone know the good news. If u dont believe me, call in and ask. It was released today.

And btw, I have never pulled a zip and dont know how to, or I would once I get it. Sorry. Just wait for the ota or someone else to post it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Kamikaze90:
I can confirm this update. My Tab notified me about 10 minutes ago. Haven't updated yet because I don't feel like having to root it again. If someone could tell me how though, I will try to pull the .zip

EDIT: Never mind. It was a smaller update for 2.2....
[Galaxy Tab General] kriskovski:
Any proof

Any proof, like picture?
[Galaxy Tab General] neurocutie:
Anyone who had previously been using the "leaked" VZW GB rom try to update to this official one? Any differences noted or anticipated? Is there any point instead of sticking to the "leaked" ROM?
[Galaxy Tab General] Soundchasr:
Other than unrooting, will this update screw anything up?
[Galaxy Tab General] reelon:
If I'm rooted can I still get this ota update?
[Galaxy Tab General] starman73:
I bypassed the verizon activation a few days ago with the volume up and down method and I am currently using my tab on wifi only. Will I get the update? If I do get it, will I have to bypass it again? Will the same method work?
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I am not sure if you'll get it if not on Verizon's network. I am getting impatient though. The announcement I read said it was starting on the 1st but I still haven't seen it, nor has anyone else I know. Any of you guys got it yet??? Mine had the GB leak on it and I flashed back to stock Froyo just for this. I'm just hoping something I did didn't block me from getting it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Soundchasr:
I can't get it yet either.
[Galaxy Tab General] sean connery:
Nothing yet in Matthews, NC.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Damn, you're like right down the street from me. Lol
[Galaxy Tab General] sean connery:
Nice! I'm on Sam Newell rd.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I'm over in the quail hollow area off Carmel. Funny. Small world. Anyway, I'm thinking of calling tech support and asking them about it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Soundchasr:
Ask them if the update will screw up our rooted Tabs. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I'm sure it would as far as losing root, but they gave me the basic song and dance. Said it was staggered and may take a while for everyone to get it. Then he told me to go into the store and have it updated which isn't true. I work in the store and we have no way to update smartphones and tablets, only basic phones. It just seems strange that no one on this forum has received it. When I go back to work tomorrow I will check to see if it was pulled back or delayed for any reason.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Question, when it updates, does it just put an update.zip on the sd card? If so, then I will try to copy and post on here.

Edit: I have a sneaky suspicion that it was delayed for some reason. Check it out. It still says coming soon on the public page.

http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/galaxtab.html

I will check it out and report back tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Yes, when the OTA update pop up shows up, that means you have an update.zip on the internal storage of your Tab. Use Root explorer or ES and navigate to /cache and you'll find the update.zip once you get the OTA notice. Then you can just upload that update.zip to any hosting site, and drop a link here for all to enjoy.
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
It's been saying "Coming Soon" for a while now. That's why we think you don't know what you're talking about.
[Galaxy Tab General] starman73:
I just got my update a few minutes ago.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I know only what the internal system there tells me. We get a list of updates that are coming out within a few days, and then when they hit, I'm usually the first one to go around the showroom floor trying to uodate the display phones so we can see what the updates are like. If you dont believe I work there, fine I cant make you. I was just trying to get the word out of what I saw cause I was excited just as you guys were.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Is it the one? 2.3.5?
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
Take a picture of you, your updated tab, and a shoe on your head, or you don't have it yet...

[Galaxy Tab General] NH Apache:
Sorry, I cleared the cache on reboot as I hung at the Verizon Logo. I don't have it. I don't have root anymore, although SuperUser is still installed.

Firmware: 2.3.5

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Build: SCH-I800.EI04
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Oh well, thanks anyway. Oh wait, I can anticipate the next post will be by someone still saying it still isnt true and unless we stand on our heads and chant three times, its all BS. Anyway, still patiently waiting.
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
So were you on Wifi or 3G? Were you on the stock ROM before you upgraded?
[Galaxy Tab General] NH Apache:
Yup. I was on stock. Sitting on Wifi. I just looked down and it had a pop-up message saying system update was available.

Just tried z4root, and am rebooting now to check for root.

Edit: z4root did not work. Any suggestions? Then, maybe, I can take some screens at least. Or, Can I use Odin or Heimdall to create a flash backup?
[Galaxy Tab General] starman73:
Took pics with my thunderbolt in the dark. Sorry! No flash because I'm using my hotspot.
[Galaxy Tab General] NH Apache:
SuperOneClick did not work either. Anyone have a method for root? I want to restore using Titanium but can't until this magic happens.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Thanks for the pics
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
I don't see a shoe on your head ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
Now that's funny.
[Galaxy Tab General] starman73:
No shoe on my head. Lol!!! Don't worry. You guys will have your update by tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Installed the update but dont see any major changes - except for the 2.3.5 version #, some icon changes, and the way the notification panel now collapses.

The Market lists all my apps as "not installed" even though the current Market versions are the same as what I do have installed.

Still no video chat in Talk. WTH!?!?

P.S. The Tab was unrooted and the install was seamless with no data loss (except for my Amazon login)
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
Do you have the update.zip in your cache?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Dont see it. Sorry, but in hindsight, I probably should have made a copy of it before doing the update - as Im sure it was deleted after the successful install.

It was like 6.4 megs if I remember correctly.

Oh, and I do have a non-contract 3G plan on mine (in case anyone is trying to figure out a rollout pattern)

The MAIN reason I was wanting 2.3.4+ was for the video chat. Guess I will have to go with the Beta-Kang CM7 afterall......
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
Did you have EC02 before the update?

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

So I rolled back to DJ11, then had to upgrade to EC02, then I got the latest 64 MB update. I haven't installed it yet because I want to get it out of my cache. I just can't figure out how to root my upgraded version of EC02 to access the cache. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

I was able to get root on EC02 via SuperOneClick 1.7. The EI04 update link is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/gcShvhXN/f82098f8b3f7update_SCH-I800_EC.html
[Galaxy Tab General] b1ackplague:
Thank you for the update.zip! Worked flawlessly from EC02.
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I updated to OP with the link thanking Jason for it. Thanks for pulling it and uploading it!
[Galaxy Tab General] reelon:
How can I update if I'm rooted?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Unroot?

That would be my guess.
[Galaxy Tab General] NH Apache:
You can get the update if you are rooted. You just lose root. I was on stock EC02 rooted and got the update.

So if I download the link above and apply through on a rooted EC02, I get to keep root?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Well, the new Market is certainly wonky.

As I mentioned, all the apps are listed in the "not installed" section - but when I click on them, they all correctly have the "open" vs the "install" buttons.

Got a upgrade notification for one of the apps and then had to go through the whole list of "not installed" apps to see which one had the "upgrade" button. Once I updated the app, that one app now shows in the "installed" section. hehe

So, does anyone know how to get the version of GTalk, that supports video, installed on the Tab? It would suck to have to go through the whole ROM/wipe process just to get the darn video chat functionality.

<grrrrr>Verizon</grrrrrr>
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
No. I rooted EC02 via SuperOneClick and when I updated I lost root. I haven't tried to get it back because I don't really care if I'm rooted most of the time.
[Galaxy Tab General] NH Apache:
Lol, I have bad timing. I just flash all the way back to dj11->EC02

Used superOneClick 1.7/

I then tried to manual update using the posted zip. I renamed to update.zip and tried to do it using up+power but it continuously fails.

Lol, I am just backtracking now to get back to where I was. I just want root to restore all the apps and email accounts with Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Tab General] ezeuba:
Can't update, errors...

I was on EF01 but downgraded to EC02 just for this. Download from the link in the OP, renamed to update.zip, copied to sdcard, tried to update from default recovery. It throws an error, but for its own reasons will not show the error in detail. Got CWM3 on the tab and tried from there. It throws an error again:

file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

I'm lost now. What else can I do to get this to update? I'm still on EC02 rooted, but I can easily unroot, if that's what's needed.

Thanks all.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Please can you explain how you got the update to work for you? Would appreciate.
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
I was originally running a rooted version of DJ11. It wouldn't update to EC02 because of a problem with Z4root (I think). I used the files from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033586 to get a clean DJ11. Once I did that, I could update to EC02. When I booted into EC02 I got the EI04 update. I used SuperOneClick 1.7 in EC02 to get root so I could copy the update.zip. I was able to apply the update even though I was rooted with SuperOneClick.

There seems to be a problem if you have ever used Z4root, but that's just speculation. My suggestion is to roll back your software to DJ11 from the link above. Then update normally to EC02. Then update normally to EI04. Or try the update.zip I linked earlier if you don't get the auto update.

[Galaxy Tab General] Bobboman:
I have an even bigger issue, for some reason my galaxy tab lost its modem, and to get 3G working again i flashed the modem from the 2.3.4 leak, now that i'm trying to do the upgrade ladder to 2.3.5 from DJ11 it can't do the first update (EC02 i believe)

anyone have the stock modem file for DJ11?
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
When I went back to DJ11 mine would not update to EC02. I had to take the wpa_supplicant file from the gizmoninja instructions and use root explorer to replace it. Then I was able to get EC02. Then I did the update.zip from here to get to 2.3.5

Edit: Here is the link to the instructions I used.

http://gizmoninja.com/2011/04/21/how-to-root-latest-samsung-galaxytab-verizon-update-ec02/

I didn't go through with the rooting of EC02, just replaced the wpa_supplicant and flashed the update.zip. Hope this helps! And thanks to the guys over at gizmoninja for that!!!!!!! I think it says Mike Madsen was the author
[Galaxy Tab General] Soundchasr:
Just got the update. Installed with no problems. Don't really notice any difference though except for the different status icons.
[Galaxy Tab General] reelon:
Jason, thanks for pointing to that link, was able to return my tab to stock and did the two upgrades. Everything is working find now.

Does anyone think this is the last update that we will see for the galaxy tab? To Root or not to root? that is the question....
[Galaxy Tab General] Soundchasr:
I don't think we'll be seeing any more updates.

Which root works on this version?
[Galaxy Tab General] dsb9938:
Nevermind, got it.

[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Well, considering this being the first real update (vs bug fixes) took a few days short of one year to get released, I'm pretty sure its gonna be the last by Verizon.

They have a new GT7+ now to support instead.....

I just wish I could get video in GTalk w/o having to go the CM7 Beta on my "stock Tab".
[Galaxy Tab General] dsb9938:
Anybody find a root that works on this yet?

[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
I searched for a while last night and could not find anything.
[Galaxy Tab General] ezeuba:
I guess I have only myself to blame. It seems I am stuck with the EF01 modem. Can't get back EC02 or DJ11 modem. And for this the update always seems to hand at "updating modem" whenever I try to run the update while on EC02. Any help guys? It seems also that there is no good copy of the EC02 modem or DJ11, any of which could help me. In any case, I am still optimistic that somehow someone knows how to help me wriggle out of this.

Cheers all.

If it's just a matter of getting the proper files, I can do that for you, if you tell me what files you need. I am on rooted EC02. If you respond quickly, I'll copy the files you need before updating to 2.3.5.
[Galaxy Tab General] ezeuba:
I need the modem.bin, this would help me downgrade to EC02 and then update to 2.3.5

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Robin M:
Do you know where the file is? I first looked in /system/bin, then I did a search from the root dir. File modem.bin did not appear.

Update.... Only file on my phone that contains the word "modem" is /system/usr/share/alsa/pcm/modem.conf. I see you are in Nigeria. You probably have different carrier files than I do with Verizon. Sorry.

Anyone else just get Google Books shoved down their throats?

If youre gonna force a download....how about Gtalk with video, fvcktards! :mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] tombepa:
If we can get this one rooted, then you can probably use the google talk with video installer and use it. I had it when I was running EF01 leak. I'll see if I can find the thread and post the link, but it won't do any good until its rooted :(. But, I did sent the guys over at shortfuse.org a message asking if they could look at this release and possibly update superoneclick to work with it. Here's to hoping!
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Yes, thanks, I saw the "Gtalk_video_voice_XsMagical.zip" thread but speaking of hoping, I was kinda hoping that 2.3.5 would finally just support GT video by default - w/o having to root or anything. Too high an expectation of Verizon once again. Because we all know they are the ones that intentionally kept it out.

Its especially retarded now that there are probably half a dozen apps (including Skype) that allow video chat on the Tab. But a seamless integration in to a default app already installed? No.............cant allow that!

I have a clean (stock) Tab and one I use for all the ROMs. I guess a fully functional stock Tab is too much to ask.

Lets just hope Vzw doesnt fudge up the Nexus.

I'll email the shortfuse guy as well to try and facilitate the support.

P.S. I wouldnt be surprised if Vzw somehow did something to block that XsMagical Gtalk
