[Samsung Focus S] mercx:
I have the EXACT same issue as you state here. The problem has existed since day one with this phone. I updated through to 8107 and the issues still exist.

So now for some interesting/good news... my dad works for a large company that has direct access to AT&T Wireless Engineers, so he got in contact with an an engineer and explained this issue as both him and I experience the same issues. The engineer was able to get a hold of a Samsung Focus S and experienced the same problems for himself. He then escalated the issue directly to Samsung who in-turn escalated this to Microsoft. Apparently Microsoft claimed the issue was theirs and they are now working on an update to rectify the problem. Samsung also apparently has some updates that they were going to push but have since held off on pushing them until Microsoft has the fix for this data issue fixed.

I've been so frustrated by these issues and the lack of information regarding them that I thought you might be interested in knowing that Samsung, Microsoft, and AT&T ARE working to get the problem resolved.
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
Wow! This is really great news as I am having the exact same problem. I usually just on and back off Airplane mode and that fixes it, but its a real hassle. So, the word is that Samsung is, possibly, combining all the current issues like this data, the extra settings/quirky display, and the 8107/disappearing keyboard all in to one?

matt
[Samsung Focus S] mercx:
The AT&T engineer didn't say what was going to be included in the Samsung update, just that Samsung was holding off on releasing the update until after Microsoft supplied a fix for the data issues. Hopefully Samsung's update fixes all of the Focus S quirks (data issues, delayed keyboard sounds, quirky display/auto brightness) in one shot.
[Samsung Focus S] gund8912:
Thanks for posting this, i feel better that Microsoft & Samsung are working on fixing this issue.
[Samsung Focus S] jamwajm:
Any updates/news about this specific issue? I have the exact issue with my Focus S since I got my phone :(
[Samsung Focus S] trupajay:
I too have been having this issue and still haven't found a solution. I hope Samsung and Microsoft come up with a solution soon because it is very irritating.

Keep this post updated :)
[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
Am I mistaken...but the majority of people posting in this thread, have the problem after installing something non standard?

8107 is not released by Samsung/AT&T, so the possibility that an associated file is not included, does exist.

Was the hotspot patch and official release, or was it intended for sideload or something?

I'm just curious. I had the luxary to have my Dell Venue Pro sent to Microsoft and examined by the Test and OEM team for WP. This was several months ago. They were able to determine I had used the force update trick to update my Device. From pieces of various emails, I was able determine the update included multiple files. The multiple files consisted of Device specific instructions and additional files needed for the that operator, in addition to the Update provided by MS.

If this is the case, forcing an update into place may indeed load the update, but it might not include other needed files.

Now, I'm not an expert, a dev or anything else important. I cannot validate that what I said is true. But, i do have the benefit of having my older device looked at by MS several months ago. This does not prove 2+2=4. But it does raise enough doubt in my mind that I won't be foruce updating my devices until alot more people get a look at this methodology and perhaps come up with some answers, or at least explanations.
[Samsung Focus S] armodons:
Does the internet connection issue appear only after the forced 8107 update?

I had been using a Chevron-unlocked Samsung Focus S on the 7720 and had experienced no issues. Just updated to 8107 following Heathcliff74's method so I hope this issue doesn't start to plague me.

Also, has anyone had success with voluptuary's wifi internet connection sharing and interop-unlock method? I am hesitant to apply that hack exactly because of worries about issues with internet...
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
I'm a big chicken. I am just going to wait for AT&T to release the update. I just have this funny feeling that there's a little something extra included with the at&t update. I've done plenty of customizing over the years, but just have a feeling about this. I do wish they would step on it, though.

matt
[Samsung Focus S] armodons:
Extra as in something to block out interop unlocks (bad) or firmware updates (good)? Definitely hoping for a camera firmware upgrade.....
[Samsung Focus S] alodar1:
when I said extra, I meant a focus s specific file that might act as a customization or configuration file. I don't think a block file of any sort might be included. But I do know that at&t is proprietary enough to want a unique identifier of some sort. In Gen 1, at&t had special builds just for them, turning on or off features. I know the hd7 had a specific 'config' type file, as did the venue pro. Would I call these extra files? No. I would call them required files. Build 8107 was a single build for WP. Do you think that all phones with mango had the same needs, samex files, same configs? Or is it possible that a related file acted as a config or control.

I'm not smart enough to know for sure. My gut says...maybe. :-).
[Samsung Focus S] gravitynoise:
Same Problem

Any news on this? I am having the same issue on my Focus S
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
We just need AT&T to release the update. That's all. Rumor is all comes with the Tango update.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
You know what's something I always thought would be amazing? What is Samsung has a secret weapon already in deployment (as far as screen technology goes)? What if that secret weapon is SAMOLED+?

Think about it... Regular SAMOLED (and HD SAMOLED in the GNexus and Note) uses PenTile, which has 8 sub-pixels per pixel (4 green, and 2 each blue and red)... However, SAMOLED+ is true RGB, and actually uses 12 sub-pixels per pixel. So on SAMOLED+, that's 4 red, 4 green, and 4 blue for each single pixel. Let that sink in for a moment... Most ordinary RGB displays only have 3 sub-pixels per pixel. 1 each of red, green, and blue...

Have a look at this picture to see what I mean:

Can you guess where I'm going with this yet?

Essentially, Samsung already has better-than-retina AMOLED displays already out in the wild, if they were to use the traditional 3 RGB sub-pixels instead of 12. What if it's only a matter of releasing a firmware update to such equipped devices, so that they effectively quadruple their screen resolutions by addressing 3 sub-pixels per pixel instead of 12?

Let me draw a diagram to clarify...

Traditional RGB pixel/sub-pixel arrangement:

|||

3 sub-pixels, 1 pixel.

SAMOLED+ pixel/sub-pixel arrangement (also viewable in the image above):

||||||

||||||

12 sub-pixels, 1 pixel.

As you can see, one SAMOLED+ pixel is essentially a cluster of 4 traditional RGB pixels. So, bearing that in mind, couldn't Samsung just quadruple their resolution by addressing existing SAMOLED+ sub-pixels the same way as traditional RGB (3 sub-pixels per pixel), instead of 12 sub-pixels per pixel?

That would be totally awesome!!!

I could just see it now:

Apple announces their iPad3, and how it has quadruple the resolution of the outgoing generation. The Apple crowd goes "Woo, yay..." while everyone else goes "Damn... I wish my screen were that nice..."

Then Samsung comes out "Hey guys! You know how awesome your SAMOLED+ displays are? You want higher resolution? Well, guess what, you've already got it! Here's a firmware update for ya! *boom!!* Quadruple your old resolution!! You're welcome! ;)"

Apple: "WTF!? Seriously? Foiled again!! Damn you Samsuuuuuuuung!!!!"
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Polarfuchs:
Isn't it the other way round? Why would you decrease the subpixel amount from 12 to 3?

The pixels would be bigger.

And how do you want to change the color of a subpixel via firmaware?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] SonicTab:
I think he is saying the 12 pixel structure in the photo shows 4 groups of RGB subpixels,

so why use all for a single pixel , how about using them as 4 pixels...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Polarfuchs:
Ah now i get it.

I tought Samsung already uses it as 4 pixels.

That makes sense.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3EyedPhish:
I've rooted my Kindle Fire. I installed the Android Marketplace. I thought it would be a good idea to update the actual Kindle app. Now I cannot get access to my books or documents despite them still existing on the device(checked using es file explorer). I found the directory for the new version of the kindle app by downloading a free book from the store and then finding its files. (/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files).

I can live with this, but how would i go about restoring the Kindle Fire version of the Kindle app?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kranix:
I use Go Launcher EX and I updated my Kindle App. I had to move my .mobi files to /sdcard/kindle and I had to re-download anything I bought from Amazon.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is the Toy Story 3 picture book I bought for my son. It will only work with the stock Kindle App. It's not a big deal though.

I like it better this way than having to run the Amazon Launcher.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wurp:
Thank you!

Thank you so much! This was exactly my problem.

For others having this problem, just move all your files in either /mnt/sdcard/Documents or /mnt/sdcard/Books into /mnt/sdcard/kindle.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
Has anyone else noticed the unusual amount of white epics that are showing up. I have looked on Ebay and craigslist. It seems several people end up with BNIB ads but have a bad esn. How is this possible
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lkctd8:
It's brand new in the box... Right off the truck they stole it off of.

Either that or they activate lines to get a discount on phones and think the can sell them but can't bc there is a past due account locked to it, or it was a large fraudulent activation that was able to get them out of the store but the fraud department picked it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
I saw one guy who had 4 listings but all were bad esn. I want one but its sort of a gamble
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
It just seems like that's the way it is with most cell phones now. When I was looking at the Nexus S 4G, a ton of them were bad esn. I had to really search for ones that said clean esn. At least with the epics, it's easy to tell, as they are about $100 cheaper than their clean counter-parts. Luckily, I scored a good deal on a black on local to me. We met at a sprint store, to make sure everything was a-ok, which should be the recommended way if you are going to buy/sell to someone locally.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kchitown1977:
Qbking77 did video about website called swappa.com its like eBay (minus the bidding) for androids that's how I got my E4GT (black) on there they aren't allowed to sell phones with out a good ESN

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] titans10:
If the listing is telling you they have bad esn... theres no gamble to it buddy, stay far far away. I just bought mine of craigslist but I met with him at Starbucks while on the phone with Sprint and didnt pay untill I had it activated. Better safe than sorry. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
Yeah it's pretty obvious about clean or bad esn I was just surprised to see how many they were and selling for 400 or better with a bad esn
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBTY:
Thats exactly what motivates ppl to get them and sell them bad esn or not, the fact that they sell for so much

But heres an Idea. If you really want a white ET4G without buying it at full retail or good esn price, you can buy a white one with a bad esn and swap the mainboards, then sell your black phone with the bad esn board and enjoy your new white already activated ET4G :D. Of course you will spend a little more than you get back after selling your black phone, especially if you have to pay for the swap (which shouldnt cost to much 20 - 40 $) but in the end it beats paying retail price!:cool:

Just an idea! i dont encourage ppl buying stolen phones so make sure if you do get a phone with a bad esn, that the phone has a bad esn due to some other reason! DONT BUY STOLEN PHONES!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
how does swappa know its not a bad esn?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juntistik:
So, I happened to be one of the lucky ones to grab a prime from HHgregg when they were letting them go for $399.

Upon receiving it, it had decent wifi, but massive blacklight bleed. Because the bleeding was visible at any brightness in any setting, I mailed it back for a replacement.

Found out today it might be 6 weeks to get a replacement. I really loved the prime while i had it for a couple days, so my question to you is this.

Would you wait the 6 weeks for a replacement prime (at that awesome price), or would you take the refund, get a cheaper tab in the meantime (kindle fire, nook color, etc), until the 700 comes out or price drops?

Or would you drink a beer, cross your fingers, and hope it shows up way before the 6 weeks?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BBKB1217:
my opinion:

if you were buying a prime anyway and got lucky with the price then you wont be happy with the others as a replacement. so if you take the refund now and get a lesser tablet, you will end up buying the prime or 700 anyway (and probably not a sale price).

if you only got the prime because it was 399 and arent too concerned with the specs, you might be able to get by with the lesser tablets.

I would wait for replacement. as you are waiting keep on eye to see if the prime issues/bugs are fixed. if they arent, then cancel the order and wait for the 700. maybe buy a less expensive tablet now if you cant wait the 6 weeks without any tablet. the give it to a significant other or family member. you will have spent $600 on 2 tablets (the same price as the 700).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juntistik:
I definitely got the Prime for the specs, I had been following their prices since release so it was really awesome to snag it on the sale price.

I really like the logic you offered about getting another tab, having two, and still coming out on top pricewise.

Also, maybe by waiting I will end up with a later serial that may or may not have alleviated some issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] B-Mod:
I got a Prime for my wife from hhgreg, for the low price. Her's has a bunch more light bleed than mine, but she is ok with it, and it does not bother her at all. Everything else with it is fine. I figured if I returned it, they would not be able to get her one right away so that is another reason we are keeping it, and not returning it. I guess Asus got a free one here........
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hashish16:
I have an idea, sell it to me and I'll wait out the 6 week period :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juntistik:

Got 7.7 from HK about 1 month ago. Rooted and all was working fine. Last nite, I started and got the Galaxy Tab 7.7 splash screen, that at the Samsung screen I got these blue lines running in the screen. I brought up the bootloader screen and it says in the updating applications "cp.file:failed from /preload/Samsung/Video/lightness.&.slimness.mpf to /data/media/Samsung/Video//lightness.&.slimness.mpf

copy application failed"

How do I fix this? Do I need to reinstall firmware. I tried hard reset but did nothing. Stays in Samsung screen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
Sounds like something corrupted the file system.

Try to see if Kies will recognise the tab in recovery or download/Odin mode. If yes, try the Kies Emergency Recovery.

If not, you may have to reinstall the firmware using Odin. There's a guide on how to do that in the development section.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciaosimo:
When i bought my NS, I had Stock 2.3.4 GB and a different baseband.

I immediately unlock the bootloader, rooted it and flash CWM.

And I did a CWM Backup of the stock 2.3.4 Rooted.

I decided to use the warranty, and i'd like to

RELOCK the bootloader.

I reverted back to the stock 2.3.4 Rooted.

I Think the procedure to return to factory model is the following:

1flash the previous baseband in CWM;

2go to fastboot mode, type ADB RELOCK BOOTLOADER and reboot.

My fear is that, with the rom rooted, It won't boot up!!!

Any alternatives?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luv2vexx:
with the right recovery it will boot up

http://prestongeekup.co.uk/?p=156
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjimyjohn:
Here's a real straight-forward guide for n00bs. if you've got an idea of what your doing, which it sounds like, then I'll try to explain it.

first, you need to flash an OTA stock ROM because this is what will overwrite CWM with stock recovery.

then you need to do a factory reset

then reboot into fastboot and connect to your pc

I don't want to type out every version here, but skip to step 16 of that guide and it will have the cmd prompts for each platform (Windows/Mac/Linux)

I'm sure you can do it from there.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Only found out the other day this was possible lol

By changing the density you make everything on your screen smaller which looks good. Asop roms work much better with this. Sense roms not as much. The launcher stays the same size and odds and ends.

Try it for yourself

Apps are on market

LCD density changers there's quite a few

Just thought is say for the uninformed roms like absolution has an inbuilt option in there tweak settings for this to happen..twisteds ics Rom comes standard also with this well the one I flashed anyway.

Hi!

This question has mostly to do with laziness :)

I have my PC downloading all sorts of media during the day, music, videos, etc...

as far as this discussion goes, all of them are completely legal and DRM-free.

My PC is a Dell laptop (i7-2670QM) running legit Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

I have a Samsung i9000 running ICS, and a B&N Nook Color Running CM7,

I tried reading about RTSP and UPnP and other stuff, but couldn't get my head around it, I'm usually good with computers, except for this case.

What I want to do is to setup a media streaming from my PC to any of my devices.

I don't even want my computer to re-encode the media, just stream it as-is, given that

you can play almost any format on android these days.

Is it possible?

If so, what do I need? can I use VLC, or do I have to setup something more serious?

Thanks,

Eugene
