[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IMENI:
Thank you but there is something wrong with my phone. I can't check rooting status in service menu.

I checked *#*#7378423#*#* -> service menu --->service info--->configuration

But there is no rooting status! Only IMEI,IMEI software, Available speech codec and working band. there is not " bootloader unlock allowed: yes(no)".

what's the reason?

Does PC companion recognize unlocked bootloader and update it? I mean if boot loader is unlocked and use PC companion to update it, it will update and then the phone will brick or it will not update at all and do not brick?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Zero Masamune:
Hello,

I live in the Netherlands the 7.7 is nowhere to be found here. So I've imported the 7.7 from Belgium but it seems that the CSC was set to LUX.

After looking around on XDA I managed to change the CSC

(need root, root explorer. Edit "/system/csc/sales_code.dat")

And also the customer.xml (on the same directory) has information about carriers/providers and Samsung bookmarks locked to Luxemburg.

Now I have changed the CSC, I can't update with Kies. It's saying that the device is not supported trough Kies.

How do I fix this?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] xenix96:
1st and basic thing: If u root your device you will not be able to get OTA/KIES updates... well now you know it anyway cause you did it :) Well no problem there is a way to go back to Stock :)

OK 2nd maybe you read this little History

If you read it you know now however you dont need any root to change CSC, if you got the right Firmware for your 7.7 Device (GT-6800 or GT6810).

Actually i can say this for SGS II I9100 and SGT 7.7 GT-6800 & GT6810!

As i see your from NL. Actually i cant offer you Firmware with NL CSC

I can show you now 2 ways how u manage this.

You wait untill a Firmware comes out for your Country.

or

You install the P6800XXLA3 wich CSC is ATO(Austria) it contains Multilanguage(inclueded NL) + Kies updates work again ;D

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
:confused: - people have had upates to their rooted tabs via kies.

after update you lose root & then re-root.

you get updates if you dont change "version" from what your kernel is running.

look out for multi-csc roms, i think you can change the csc through the phone system settings.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] xenix96:
True mate i know that too ^^

but i tried it to change over the preconfigcode *#272*IMEI# but it didnt work ... maybe cause we got honeycomb? .. i dont know :)

On my sgs2 it works yes ^^ but there is GB
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
i need to change mine too !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] xenix96:
Well i managed to change my CSC if you did read what i post u would know how u can change it too ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
I installed the Austrian ROM (P6800XXLA3), but my CSC did not change when I went into stock recovery. It was still trying to put TYG (Hong Kong) CSC back, which it no longer found in the CSC folder. Then I used the following tool to change the CSC to ATO:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en

Warning though, this clears your tab, ie. you need to set it up again and reinstall apps (recommend backing up with titanium backup). Root is not required, but if you were rooted, you need to re-apply root again.

But it works and Kies recognises the tab for future updates.

If you change the CSC to other than ATO in the list (the ROM has several), Kies will not recognise the tab for future updates.

Can't Modify CSC on Chinese P6800

I got a Chinese P6800 were i attempted to set CSC with SGS Toolbox, but when I go under CSC Selection, I do not get any choises, only two lines:

Using workdir: /sdcard/SGSToolbox/work_20120215_2152559

Copied imei file...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
I've not used the SGS Toolbox, but using the app I linked above worked for me. I'm now using the Portugese (TPH) stock ROM and was able to change the CSC to TPH. Kies now recognises the tab properly for future firmware update. There is not much point changing the CSC unless you've installed a new stock ROM using Odin (see official firmware thread in the development section). Warning, changing the CSC wipes your tab, so backup beforehand (to external sdcard or your PC).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kevinsfar:
The reason why I would like to change CSC is to get non-chinese firmware on my p6800, the chinese version does not have google account or android market, so I can not install the CSC tool from https://market.android.com/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
Okay, I understand. I've attached the CSC tool for you below.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sladeywadey:
I had to reflash twice in order to get a different CSC on my device. Both times I wiped the device in recovery mode. I didn't use any 3rd party tools apart from Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kevinsfar:
Thank you, I do appreciate it when people are helping out.

Now I got the tool running:) ... but it seems that I only are able to choose between 2 different CSC codes , I can onlychoose between CHN and CHZ

I now have Android Market from a .apk, but is still missing Google account, and so far all attempts of reflashing with non-chinese firmware after the instructions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469635 has failed.

It seems that this chinese variant does not play along very well, but I am sure some day some clever xda person will come up with the right solution for me, so I'll keep on reading

What error do you get when attempting to flash firmware using Odin?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kevinsfar:

Then set the P6800 to odin mode, select the file I want to flash and start the same way as I successfully have used for P1000 & P7510.

Got mine to change singapore sourced model after loads of attempts loaded the latest XEF firmware then CWM with ODIN and wiped the caches with CWM . Please note you loose all your data . Kies now sees my tab as an XEF region now all I need is a UK 3G rom and will be set.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Are you not getting 3g data as is? And im guessing samsung has stopped pushing this device due to the superbrick bug?

I went with the Austrian stock firmware although i'm in the US. Using a straight talk (no-contract gsm carrier) sim card. It took me 2 weeks to get mms working--as i initially bought my tab from an importer who did NOT tell me the device had been rooted, debloated etc--through amazon btw. I knew i was buying a "demo" model... anyway, firmware version/rom mismatch was the mms issue. Once the version number and baseband version matched, mms worked. Mobile odin is superior to the comp version, but the firmware list upped to filefactory (SUCKS) only has windows self extractors...doesnt anybody know? Windows is dead!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
(Note: I edited this post, thanks.)

Ok, the ICS P6810 (wifi only) for UK is out ... Now I have a question and please correct me if I'm wrong...

I have the Hong Kong model, whould installing the UK Stock (P6810XXLB3_P6810OXALB3_XEU.zip) with Odin do the trick?

after that use the CSC app from Manniakk to change the CSC to UK and then just use kies to update to ICS?

Is this correct?

Or do I have to change something else?

Please let me know..

Thanks in advance.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxspark89xx:
Okay, looking to catch some advice from any of you RAZR MAXX or OG RAZR owners.

I'm contemplating throwing down the $300 for a RAZR MAXX, either through this deal somehow or by adding a line.

I guess, before I jump the gun (like I did with the D3), what are your general opinions with the Motorola Droid RAZR family compared to other phones you may have had or tried in the past. As far as I can tell with the 4G technology and battery capacity, the RAZR MAXX would land itself amongst the top-of-the-line smartphones offered by Verizon at the moment. I know some better phones will arrive soon, as they always do - but I would like to get your opinions and/or impressions of this phone in general.

Despite the locked bootloader, I've always loved the build quality of Motorola products. Saw the RAZR for the first time today and thought the AMOLED screen was nice and vibrant against my D3 in comparison.

1. - How does the screen really compare to others? I noticed the HTC Rezound has a 720p screen, but would that be worth it over the qHD AMOLED? I've also heard about tinting issues and black dots and so forth with earlier builds - would that be a worry now?

A few things about my D3 that disappoint - Lack of 4G, waiting for websites to load and such is almost a pain especially when I need something fast. I will be seeing plenty of 4G areas soon in my career (USAF) and I am grandfathered into the UNLIMITED data plan that I plan to switch the phone to on my primary line.

2. - How is the 4G working on the RAZR? I anticipate getting the MAXX, so battery life wont be an issue. My condolences go to those who jumped with the OG RAZR and got less than they expected in this sense.

Another big change for me would be jumping from the physical keyboard to the touch screen. I'm beginning to feel 'claustrophobic' with only a 4" screen on the D3 and kind of want a bigger screen.

3. - Can anyone provide their opinions about the on-screen typing? Larger screen size? Does it work well? I would hope auto correct would make it a bit easier to speed through texting and other typing scenarios?

Working with the D3 and only 512MB of memory, even with the dual-core 1 GHz processor I still experienced some lag between homescreens with widgets, the app drawer, etc. This sometimes interfered with my OCD a bit and I would expect butter-smooth performance with this kind of hardware.

4. - With the droid RAZR, how does the performance compare for any of you? Any lag with stock-live wallpaper? Motoblur? The stock phone in the VZW store seemed very smooth and up-to-par. I would like your opinions on this though.

So aside from those questions, anything else anyone would like to offer? Comparisons to other products? Stories of switching from the Nexus or Rezound to the RAZR? I know there are reviews already written that are out there, but those are usually one-person reviews. All of you here have your opinions, and I'd like you to share them - good or bad, the perks and the setbacks.

Thanks a bunch in advanced! I know this OP is long and detailed, but I'm sure with responses this thread could be helpful to more than just me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
1. For me, I found the screen really good. Colors were very vibrant. The black dots are apparently a part of the manufacturing process, according to the Moto sales associate I talked to. However, you don't notice it on normal usage. I've only actually seen it when I'm using the phone in a very dark room, with black background and low brightness (0%).

2. No idea for 4G, my country doesn't have that at the moment.

3. The keyboard is good, but I use Swype. It's the default input method. It's awesome. I can practically text without looking at the screen.

4. The performance is great. There's a slight bit of lag, but I'm using 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03. When I flashed to a different system version, the lag disappeared. Not sure if it's just me though.

Honestly, I had my doubts about buying the Razr at first. It was a tough choice between this, S2 or waiting for the Nexus. But I can say I'm satisfied with it. Only complain is the battery life, but since you're getting the Maxx, can say that it's a non-issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] genghishahn:
1.) I have an OG Razr, and I have to say that I'm very happy with the screen. It is "only" qHD but it's plenty sharp for reading text and watching movies. The colors are very vibrant, though reds can be a little too intense, imo. The little black dots do happen, sadly--but are only visible in conditions I would characterize as being outside of normal use (e.g. in the dark, with no lights on, displaying images that are pretty much all black). The yellowish tint that some users are reporting happens too, at low brightness settings, but I find that it's actually easier on my eyes than super whites for all the reading I do on my Razr. Check one out in-store and see if it's something that bothers you.

2.) 4G is great in my area, 30mb down and 20 up is pretty normal for me. 4G does tend to be a bit of a battery hog in my experience, but the humongous battery on the maxx should make that a non-issue.

3.) I actually ended up ditching the stock keyboard for Thumb Keyboard, and it works fairly well for a touch screen keyboard. I wouldn't recommend it for hammering out anything really long--I have a hard time not making mistakes when I type. The limiting factor for me is the width of the screen in portrait--it works plenty well in landscape but the amount of text that's viewable isn't enough for me. It should be fine for for texts and short emails.

4.) Performance is great. I run ADW in place of the moto launcher, have about 10 widgets running my home screens, and use pixel rain live wallpaper--I don't notice any lag, it's almost iPhone-like in its smoothness. It takes a little while for all of the widgets load up from the device being powered off, but once everything is up it's very smooth.

One of my friends (iPhone user) was playing around with my Razr and our other friend's GNex and he commented that my Razr--with ADW, widgets, and live wallpaper--felt smoother than the GNex with stock launcher, no live wallpaper, and just a couple widgets. Don't take that as gospel, by any means, but being that I was expecting to hear the opposite, it was a surprising observation.

My only quibble (minor) with the Razr is that the camera could be better. I don't know if it's the software, sensor, or both, but I feel like the camera on my iPhone 3GS actually took better pictures. It seems to have a bit of a hard time in low and artificial light. Again, try it out in store and see what you think.

All in all, I'm really very happy with my Razr. If you wind up getting one too I hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine :) Hope this has been helpful!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
Og razr owner here.

1- I have not ever had an issue with the screen. It's a beautiful screen. Even side by side with the rezound and nexus you can't notice a major difference. I also believe that the screen issues were limited to the first batches of razrs.

2- The larger screen is great. You will get used to the on screen keyboard. If you don't like the stock keyboard there are countless different keyboard apps in the market.

3- 4g is amazing. No other word describes it. I average around 20-25mbps down and have gotten as high as 44 down.

4- The phone is very fast even in stock form. Even the stock browser is very snappy. Of course i don't use the stock browser anymore i prefer Dolphin, but you may prefer a different browser.

The jump from 512mb of RAM to 1gig will put a smile on your face. Live wallpapers and widgets flow seemlessly with no lag.

I returned a nexus for the Razr I have now, so that should tell you how i feel about the comparsion between those devices. My brother had a rezound, but also now owns a razr.

The razr is the best device I have ever owned.

If you spring for the Razr Maxx you will be getting all the goodness of the razr with twice the battery. I get great battery life out of my og razr, so the maxx should get amazing battery life.

You can't go wrong with either the og razr or the maxx. I think once you get one you won't want to put it down. :)

Also the expandable memory is great. I just ordered a class 6 32gig Sandisk SD card. I still had plenty of room on the 16gig it came with but i found a great deal on the class 6 32 gig card so I just went ahead and got it. Class 6 is more than capable enough for me.

Good luck with your choice!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] revjim44:
I have a RAZR Maxx, and it's pretty snappy. The screen is great, and I'm not concerned about the lack of 720P HD. The battery life is spectacular, though it's still a little early to get some finite numbers on how long it lasts as it really depends on if you're on wifi, 3G, or 4G along with your usage style. I'm in Saint Louis, which was one of the first round of 4G roll-out cities, and my 4G coverage is pretty wide. I had a Thunderbolt previously as it was the only 4G phone available at first, but this is night and day better as far as battery life. I mostly kept 4G shut off on my Thunderbolt, and on the RAZR I haven't messed with it. No reason to.

The only issues I have are the stock Android FB app seems slow to start/load. Maybe it's just me. I rooted it for the wifi tether, and although it's only been a couple of days, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Rooted Droid RAZR Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rfeagan:
Thanks for these reviews. I'm considering exchanging my Nexus for a Razr Maxx. Anyone bummed about the smaller screen on the Maxx (4.65 Gnex vs 4.3 razr)?

Does it make typing/swyping in portrait mode more difficult?

Anyone ported ICS to the Razr with full functionality and loving it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GunnerFan:
I received my new Razr Maxx on Monday and while I'm not a user of your comparison models I would love to offer some feedback.

1. I really like this phone. It's light, thin, sturdy, very fast. The screen is bright an the colors are crisp.

2. I use swype as my input method but I've noticed that if you turn the phone on it's side the soft keyboard buttons are very large and should be ideal for normal touch typing.

3. I work in downtown Sacramento and live in a suburb. Downtown I'm getting five bar 4G consistently even when I'm in an interior conference room.

4. Downloaded the Speed Test application and I'm consistently getting 25M on the download and 10M on the upload.

5. Battery life seems to be really, really good. Phone arrived half charged and I didn't plug it in until at least 24 hours later after doing all my setup and app downloading.

However it does seem to take a long time to charge which is probably due to the bigger battery.

Hope this helps.

We have Dhacker29 and Hashcode working on it. There is alpha and it is working pretty good for alpha stage. Can find the work at droidrzr.com
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rfeagan:
Very cool, thanks. Looks like i can easily root the maxx and use wifi tether and titanium backup. Biggest advantages of rooting, imho.

What are the real downsides to a locked bootloader? Inable to flash kernels? Radios? Whats the downside?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jhalsey205:
I exchanged my Gnex and now own a RMaxx,,,, and glad I did. You give up a little of width in the functional screen real estate (both are 4.3), but the Maxx Super AMOLED is no slouch (its really nice).

The superstar is the battery, and the overall build quality. The Maxx feels 1000 times more polished and solid.

There is some great custom ROM development going on at droidrzr.com. I rooted my device and had a droidth3ory rom within an hour of getting home.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rfeagan:
Super cool! Now be honest... does your rooted Maxx feel faster or slower than your old Gnex?

My hypothesis: I sometimes wonder if the Gnex animations/transitions lag a little bit bc the device is pushing so many pixels.

My last device was a Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic Touch, super smooth UI/transitions, low pixel density...

Edit: Can anyone confirm whether GPS on the Razr will lock on when in Airplane mode? I have Backcountry Navigator app that requires this functionality.

THANKS ALL!

Hi, Just got my Galaxy Note a few weeks ago. Downloaded this GPS app called Sygic and was wondering will it requires data and blow up my phone bill? I do in fact have a 500MB internet data plan but i usually used it only on internet. Pls help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
GPS wont use your Data connection, i think sygic has pre-loaded maps. if so then it wont use your data connection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Hold power button for a second or two, select disable data, turn off wifi.

If Sygic continues to work, you are good.

What size is the app? Does it have on-board maps? If the app is like 6mb and there are no additional downloads, chances are it streams data to download maps on the fly, hence using your data. If the app has an initial download of a gig or so, you probably have onboard maps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nobody's There:
its a 6mb file. But when downloading the maps. Its about 300MB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredjm31:
GPS uses very few data to approximate the position (that helps to fix) and download ephemeris (essential to fix). I've tried my GPS without data, fix time goes from few seconds to more than 5 minutes (it did not achieve fix).

BUT, I think a 500 Mb plan is far enough. I use from time to time Google navigation (which download maps), and use 200-300 Mb a month (not only with navigation).
