I already installed the KJ6 3.2 which runs very smooth with no problem

but I can see only CDMA or GSM

what you see in your network mode is it CDMA or HSAP as mentioned in user manual

and if I have a data plan up to 21 mb/sec do I can get this speed with this KJ6 rom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lgsshedden:
download network signal app from the market: it displays the signal our device is actually receiving on either wifi or 3G+: the device will support the speed, it whether or not you are in an area with that coverage

rogers will show umts

as wikipedia explains

UMTS supports maximum theoretical data transfer rates of 45 Mbit/s when HSPA+ is implemented in the network.[2] Users in deployed networks can expect a transfer rate of up to 384 kbit/s for R99 handsets, and 7.2 Mbit/s for HSDPA handsets in the downlink connection. These speeds are significantly faster than the 9.6 kbit/s of a single GSM error-corrected circuit switched data channel, multiple 9.6 kbit/s channels in HSCSD and 14.4 kbit/s for CDMAOne channels.

Since 2006, UMTS networks in many countries have been or are in the process of being upgraded with High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), sometimes known as 3.5G. Currently, HSDPA enables downlink transfer speeds of up to 21 Mbit/s. Work is also progressing on improving the uplink transfer speed with the High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA). Longer term, the 3GPP Long Term Evolution project plans to move UMTS to 4G speeds of 100 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s up, using a next generation air interface technology based upon Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing.

the last iteration is LTE which we can access using the 7500 version we have but not with the sim card we have

Howdy! I have a stock Canadian (Telus) Samsung 10.1 4G [GT-7500DTLSKH4]. If you'd care to provide explict instructions (for this Telus model) on how to root and backup rom, I can archive and forward. If you also have instructions to "unroot" said device, that would be greatly appreciated, too. Further, have you received the 3.2 update for this model as of yet? If you have, was it VIA WIFI or OTA? The reason I ask is that it informs me there are no updates available (I use WIFI only at this time).

Thanks in advance!

For Telus:

www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P7500D&r=-1#modelsa

Rogers, and Bell also at SamMobile Firmware page.

Telus is 3.1 (as is bell)

Rogers updated to 3.2 but has lots of rogers crap. ALSO note your telus sim with this firmware will pull the wrong apn, it'll get sp.telus.com and leave you with a HUGE data bill. SO if you use it make sure to change the APN before connecting to mobile data to isp.telus.com

Enjoy
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bishopdd:
Can the Rogers Firmware be installed to the bell model?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dishme:
In the development forum the stock rogers is there ... I have the 7500r and running latest ics working great .... data rates are perfect
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] darwoodcdn:
Yes you can flash bell, rogers or telus firmwares. I've converted several.

Enjoy
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jr97ai:
I hope you will forgive me for clarifying but I have the 7500R and I could flash the 7500M bell firmware to it with no issues?

Before any one asks why I would like to ask my other question... Has any one seen a Galaxy Tab re network lock? My device was unlocked since like November and all of a sudden today I am getting the SIM network unlock PIN. I tried the original unlock code but it doesn't work. As well I took the bell sim and used it in the Nexus S and accessed data so the sim seems fine. I know this might need to go to another thread but I thought maybe I should try flashing the bell rom? As well maybe I should just try a hard reset first? Any suggestions.

Thank you...

So it turns out some how it must have relocked... I used an app from the Marketplace that I linked to from XDA and unlocked it again... The original unlock was a code entry so I'm not sure why or if it should have relocked but I am back up and running now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] darwoodcdn:
Sorry for the super late reply, I don't really monitor the threads.

Anyhow yes you can put any of the Canadian firmwares on your Rogers Tab. Or vs. No issues I've seen to date.

As for your second issue. A few months ago the same thing happened to one of my tablets it seemed to relock itself and would no longer accept the factory unlock code. I had to edit the nv file directly to fix that issue. And strangely enough another phone I had from Telus Samsung facinate 4G, did the exact same thing, and then another when that one was replaced by Samsung. On the facinate using a telus sim the phone would still ask for a unlock code. So something strange was happening. The phones were brand new, and never rooted, completely stock. The only thing I did was put in my kodoo sim and enter the unlock code.

So three devices in total did it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jr97ai:
No problems on the late reply. I ended up using an app by one of the xda members to edit the nv as you mentioned you had to do. I am actually very glad I purchased the app as it appears if you dont reverse it to check for firmware upgrades it is failing to connect.

In regards to the roms does anyone have any experience with one being better then the other? I am using a bell sim so was just curious if I should flash bell firmware.

Thank you for your reply.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dishme:
The firmware has nothing to do with your sim... I am running a generic ics build on my rogers p7500r, rogers 3g+ stillbworks, I plug in my tmobile $2/day sim card and it just works.

Good luck, pershots daily ics builds work great and so does overcome!
[Dell Streak 7] ElAguila:
I have been disappointed with the lack of development by htc and the service provided by sprint. I have an HTC View and I am going to probably sell it. I am looking to replace it with a wifi only tablet. I have been looking at the streak and the galaxy tab 7". I was wondering how the display looks on the streak. I know the resolution is not as high as my View but I have found after using my Epic Touch that resolution isn't everything. I also read that the streak uses sdcard's instead of microSDHC. What is the largest sdcard that it can read?
[Dell Streak 7] rickwyatt:
i love my dell streak 7 i have a 16gb microsdhc in a full size sdcard i also think that the resolutions not to bad if you look on youtube you can see it for youself
[Dell Streak 7] rljohnson:
I have a XOOM but it is just too big in some cases. I have a Nook Color with CM7 but there are some MAJOR issues as far as I am concerned. Best Buy is suppose to have DELL STREAK 7 on sell for the Black Friday Sales. Even though the Dell would be under $300 I hope to keep it going for a year or 2 and replace the XOOM and all the other stuff with a 1 universal unit.

The Dells 800x600 screen res and lack of battery life according to spec are a concern big concern to me.

Off time is reading Nook, Kindle and Reader app and using it for some teaching to hold notes. A little youTube and web surfing with e-mail. is off an on through the day.

Can someone give me their opinion?

Thanks in advance....
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I can get through a full day of moderate usage. So battery life is not much of a problem unless you plan to use it on a transatlantic flight.

HD2 touch screen sometimes will not respond to touch. I have to touch the 'red phone' button several times before the screen will respond to touch. This problem comes and goes. Phone is about 2 years old, and this problem just started recently. Any idea how to eliminate this frustrating glitch?
[HD2 General] Flegmaa:
i think it is a problem with a touch digitizer which is located below hangup (red) button. try pressing it harder. if it helps, find someone who will replace digitizer.
[Kindle Fire General] webstas:
I got Swype to install but the rom wont let you select it
[Kindle Fire General] treleung:
Right, you can't access the stock android settings page to enable it. Will likely need a custom rom before this can be done.
[Kindle Fire General] big gulps huh?:
I dont have a fire yet so this is pure speculation....

Can you sideload a home screen replacement (like launcher pro) and have better access to the settings menus? Thus allowing ability to select swype?
[Kindle Fire General] sanewicked:
I installed Go Launcher Ex, which worked for me, and I was unable to access any other settings other than the customized Kindle Settings.
[Kindle Fire General] big gulps huh?:
Cool, well guess at least we know those work! Will have to wait for some devs to get other stuff working I guess (or learn ourselves).

Edit: And im guessing they disabled the function to where you can long press on a text entry field to change input methods?
[Kindle Fire General] ylexot:
That's what I was going to suggest trying.
[Kindle Fire General] masayang:
There *is* a menu for input method that has only one entry, "Kindle Keyboard".

[Kindle Fire General] SikYou:
The kb has to be enabled in settings before it will show up in the input selection menu. Of course there is no way of doing that just yet

[Kindle Fire General] big gulps huh?:
Ok, I totally forgot about that. Oh well...
[Kindle Fire General] Psxtreme:
I am getting my kindle fire tomorrow and I've been looking at how to enable other keyboards. See if you can manually edit the file where settings are store: /data/data/com.android.providers/settings/databases/settings.db using an sql editor look for the field "enabled_input_methods". Type in the proper info for the keyboard you are adding and see what happens. Root is required obviously. With any luck this might work.
[Kindle Fire General] mfisch@mfisch.com:
Swype working just fine.

I got swype working last night after a few trials. Here's what I did (though I'm sure not all steps are necessary).

I of course first grabbed the swype APK from my ATTSGS2 and side loaded onto the fire (without root). I know you all said it wouldn't work, but this is just the way I troubleshoot issues.

Swype installed fine, but as you said I could not select it from the input options list (when you long click a text field it gives you the option to select input method).

Now, I haven't permanently rooted my fire. I quite like software updates, video, and security on my device. That said, I don't mind dabbling with the stock load a bit. I pushed zergRush out to /data/local and ran that to get a temporary root.

I then downloaded the settings.db as suggested above and used sqlite3 (included by default in Mac OS X) to edit the input methods list to add swype.

Here's a dump of the resulting field:

INSERT INTO "secure" VALUES(21,'enabled_input_methods','com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod');

If you aren't comfortable editing an sqlite database file I'm not going to walk you through it, a mistake with that file could brick your kindle.

You'll see I added Swype to the stock LatinIME.

That did the trick. After a reboot (which by the way removes my temporary root). I could select Swype. Of course upon launching the swype keyboard I discovered I was missing the swype core library. After another zergRush and an install of the library which I also found on my ATTSGS2 I got swype launched!

Great the keyboard came up .. and .. "license failure". Damn, that's the first piece of android I've seen with license enforcement.

That's okay though, I knew swype corp (now a division of Nuance) somehow gives away copies of the software. I left settings.db as is but removed the swype apk and corelibs.

Then I headed over to the swype website, signed up for the beta, downloaded the swype installer -- which by the way I had to do from my ATTSGS2 because the swype website insisted my kindle was not running android.

I side loaded the installer onto the kindle (without root), ran the installer, and everything went in smooth. I didn't even have to go back into settings.db to change the default input method -- the installer seemed to do that for me.

I'm not sure if the settings.db changes were necessary at all in fact, and if not this would be a completely safe procedure with no root required.

Some feedback would be good. I'm sure everyone would love to use this workaround to get swype running, though for most of you you'd better not touch sqlite databases directly. Its my opinion if editing that file IS necessary, then you're probably better off waiting for ROM support. Though it would of course be a violation of copyright law to distribute a ROM with swype preinstalled. Beware developers who ignore copyright law, their missing scruples may extend to other areas of software development.
[Kindle Fire General] Psxtreme:
I imagine at some point in the future someone will release a .apk that can modify those settings but it's good to know the settings are there and functional, just obfuscated by amazon. Also there is an android market app that lets you edit the sql database more easily but definitely not for the faint of heart.
[Kindle Fire General] mfisch@mfisch.com:
I looked quick in the market and couldn't find one. Do you know the name?

It would be much easier than adb shuffles back and forth.
[Kindle Fire General] Psxtreme:
It's not free but I think it's worth it, it's called "SQLite Editor"
[Kindle Fire General] paulm13:
They appear to be - just tried installing the swype beta without rooting yet and the new keyboard is not showing up.
[Kindle Fire General] vtluu:
I just used the same method to enable Swiftkey X (the non-tablet version). Works great!

My "enabled_input_methods" field is: "com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService"

Don't forget after uploading the modified settings.db back to the device to reset the owner ("chown system.system settings.db") and permissions ("chmod 660 settings.db") on the file. And as always, back up everything you change before you do it.

I'll post a step-by-step later if I'm not too busy.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
i'll make a script tomorrow to change the enabled keyboard from stock to swype for y'all

you'll have to be rooted
[Kindle Fire General] Psxtreme:
I got my fire now and edited the db on the device using SQLite Editor and it worked after a reboot. I tested using Simeji (Japanese IME).
[Kindle Fire General] scherbie:
Swyping this on my kindle fire ;-). Thanks for the post! I had already kindle rooted and I happened to have the beta swype account, so for me it was much easier. all I had to do was to install swype installer from their beta web site and then use SQLlite editor to modify enabled_input_methods

Off topic: looking for decent home launcher to replace kindle's. Any suggestions. Tried the Go launcher but it isn't optimized for tablet
[Kindle Fire General] danaff37:
Can't you just move Swype to system/app and then the lib to system/lib, and reboot? You don't have to enable system keyboards
[Kindle Fire General] paulm13:
Hmm. Tried adding the row to the table (pushed the sqlite3 binary that came with SuperOneClick and used that) but still not seeing the option to switch to Swype. My table looks like this:

22|default_input_method|com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME

23|adb_enabled|1

24|throttle_reset_day|15

25|device_provisioned|1

26|wifi_on|1

27|install_non_market_apps|1

28|enabled_input_methods|com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod
[Kindle Fire General] paulm13:
Actually never mind. My install of the Swype beta mustn't have completed right last time. Now it works! thanks very much for the info.
[Kindle Fire General] bsoplinger:
Since I was feeling like taking a risk I opened the settings database on my HTC flyer and copied the long list of keyboards that I had installed and enabled and appended to the single Kindle Fire entry. I then removed the one entry for the HTC keyboard and saved it. Surprisingly it worked. Even though I didn't have all the keyboards installed that I had on my HTC flyer the two I did have installed show up on a long press on a text entry field from the input method dialog.

This implies that it could be quite useful to compile a list of keyboards and their corresponding database entry. I can start with these:

com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod

com.mobisters.textart.pro/.AsciiTextArtKeyboardPro

com.dasur.slideit/.SlideITIME

com.access_company.graffiti_pro/.Graffiti

com.nuance.flext9.input/.IME

com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.beta/com.touchtype.KeyboardService

com.beansoft.keyboardplus/.LatinIME

com.touchtype.swiftkey/com.touchtype.KeyboardService

I'm a bit new to Swype, but I'm having a problem with closing the keyboard.

Swype installed fine (thanks to the instructions :D), but when I open the keyboard and want to close it, I can't!

A quick search told be that you have to press the "back" button to close the keyboard, but there is none on the Fire! Now I can't get the keyboard to close (unless I go to the swype settings, then click the soft "home" button there to get to the homescreen). Is there a way to get around this annoying bug in Swype?
[Kindle Fire General] bsoplinger:
May I suggest the Swype advanced tips page?

http://www.swype.com/tips/advanced-tips/

If you don't want to read them all, Swype button to delete key to hide keyboard.
[Kindle Fire General] streever:
Step by step?

I haven't done this yet--I'm a little nervous--so I'm going to list the steps as I see them. I haven't attempted this yet, but I'd like to learn this, and be able to help others with my experience, so I'm looking for input and guidance.

As I understand--from reading the various comments--the process is as follows.

Download Swype installer (beta) from swype.com to an android phone

Side load it to your Kindle Fire (copy from your android phone to your computer then from your computer to your kindle)

Add this row to the DB:

28|enabled_input_methods|com.android.inputmethod.l atin/.LatinIME:com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod

I am a little stumped on step 3. I understand I can sideload market apps... but not paid ones. How are people using SQLite Editor on their kindle? Does it work? Do I need to root my kindle fire? I'd rather not.

Thanks in advance for any help. I've done everything but the DB edit.
[Kindle Fire General] thejaycan:
Well, Mfisch was right the most dangerous part of this was editing the settings.db file. I tried using SQLite2009 Pro Enterprise Manager on my Win7 box and I was able to edit the file and export it, but for whatever reason the kindle was having read-only problems with the file. (Getting the error: "can't upgrade read-only database from version 0 to 57" while booting, and yes this is after the CHOWN and CHMOD) So, of course, as Mfisch warned about, I bootlooped my Fire. :-( But I got it working again after pushing my backed-up version of settings.db.

So, I did finally get swype working but I had to use the SQLite Editor. Here's my steps:

1) Download Beta Swype installer and sideload

2) Download SQLite Editor ($1.99 on App Store)

3) Run Swype installer...get to "select Swype screen"

4) Temporary root using zergRush

5) adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

6) adb push settings.db /sdcard/temp/ (so that SQLite Editor could see the file)

7) Launched SQLite, made a record edit of enabled_input_methods in the secure table to read "com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.swype.android.inputmethod/.SwypeInputMethod" (saved)

8) adb shell dd if=/sdcard/temp/settings.db of=/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

9) adb shell chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (not sure if this is necessary)

10) adb shell chmod 660 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (not sure if this is necessary)

11) Reboot (to remove root)

12) Run Swype beta installer

13) Selected Swype as keyboard - done

Hope this helps. Remember, the standard disclaimers apply. I cannot be held responsible if you brick or bootloop your Kindle. I personally bootlooped mine in trying to do this but I was able to recover, use caution and backups.
[Kindle Fire General] motocrossmann:
How well does it work?
[Kindle Fire General] thejaycan:
I think Swype works great on the Fire. I think the post above covered the one tricky part which is figuring out how to hide the Swype keyboard. With the Fire keyboard there is a hide keyboard button and in a phone installation of Swype you can use the back key to hide the keyboard. With the Fire, there is no back button nor any of they other standard android buttons, so you to hide you just have to swype from the sywpe key to the delete button.

I've been really happy with Swype in the past day I've been using it. It runs much faster than on my phone (Milestone XT720). The other bonus is access to the symbol keys (eg- @#$!) which can be accessed by a press and hold on a letter vs pressing the symbol key and then selecting the character.
[Kindle Fire General] LoriH7:
Ok, so when adding the path, do I need to add a totally new line, or just adjust the field where it says "enabled_input_methods"
