Android 4.0 has built in wifi tether that works perfectly. I have yet to have a problem with it.

32GB internal memory is fine. Not having a physical SD doesn't really matter cause 32 is more than enough.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvaughn12:
I Keep getting the latest firmware update avaiable for my galaxy 10.1 ( WifI) each time I download it , it restarts goes up to 27% the reboots and state unable to do update and it advises me to use Kies, the only problem is I cannot connect to kies.

Does anyone know where I can get the lastes firmware update and I can install via Odin or CWM? I just started getting this lastest firmware update about 3 days ago and I normally check for updates every day an normally there is nothing avialable until 3 days ago and Help would be greatly appreciated. I saw a link where there was a firmware posted but that thread was started back around Jan 9 so I'm not sure if that is the lastest firmware and if so not sure my my tablet never saw it whenever I would do and update check. So again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response but this is not the firmaware i'm looking for, this firmware upgrade is only 16mb that keeps coming up on mine. The one for over 386mb I installed that one a month ago, the one that is constanly flashing on mine and I cannot install also states it has updated market and again it's only 16mb in size
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezcats:
that would be the kmm to kmn update...you don't need that...

also i would recommend flashing a custom rom...the stock ones suck..i cant live with the tab on those roms.

Appears that the Bluetooth PBAP process is running away when paired with my car's head unit. It was running for the duration of my drive (51 minutes) and drained about 40% of my battery. I've verified this on several drives now. Killing the process (after pairing) corrects the problem, and there doesn't seem to be any side effects.

Anyone else experiencing this (tried multiple ROMs all with same behavior, leading me to believe it is a Samsung Bluetooth stack issue)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
I'm a big Bluetooth fanboy! I use the BlueAnt G2 like all the time. I have noticed on all the roms I flashed, I get HORRIBLE battery life, even though everybody boasting how good their battery life is.. I just couldn't understand it, so I aways go back to my backed up stock. I seem to get tremendous battery life on my stock rom (that came with my sgs2 from T-Mobile).. This would explain it!

I even experience this issue on downloadable tweaked stock roms you can find here. Nothing compares to my battery life when I restore my backed up rooted stock rom.

Interesting find!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashwing:
That's interesting to hear. I've been attempting to troubleshoot the issue further, and I think that Samsungs bluetooth implementation is a bit wonky. I noticed their MAP (Message Access Profile [sms over bt]) is not working right, and that the PBAB responses are off a bit causing the host to attempt OBEX x-fers over and over again. Interesting that your experience with stock roms proves otherwise. Perhaps it's a kernel thing, but I think the BT stack is binary straight from Samsung.

(Take all this with a grain of salt, I'm by far an expert, and am probably talking out my @ss ;) )

I'm going to give stock a try. 51 minute drive, 100% started, 62% ended - awful indeed

SIDE NOTE: I recognize you and your (wifes) picture... what other nicks do you go by? I've seen you somewhere before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnn:
I can confirm that the Samsung BT stack from a stock phone has BT PBAB problems. I've not looked at the battery drain because there's a much more obvious one whenever trying to pair the phone to a BMW bluetooth system. Once connected the car system cannot download the phone's phonebook without first killing the PBAB process first. If you Google for BMW and PBAB you'll be able to read about lots of folks having this problem including this thread, and the only solution is to kill the PBAB process.

Funny enough there isn't a similar issue when connecting to a Toyota bluetooth system. The Toyota BT does support the stereo profile allowing the phone to play music over BT, while the BMW system does not.

Good Luck..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashwing:
Hey, thanks for the feedback, and other forum link. I'm going to do some extensive testing with mine and try freezing selected BT services to see just what happens. I've done the kill PBAB service and that seems to stop the VERY rapid battery drain.

I can usually tell it's gone awry when the phone starts heating up. (It's in a holster on my belt, and I can feel the heat start, reminding me to go kill the pbab service)

I hadn't though of freezing it (or renaming it) as I figured it was required for the phone book to x-fer. We'll see how it works out.

Can anyone confirm that MAP (Message Access Profile) works anywhere with this phone? (SMS over bluetooth)

More to come.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SwervFusion:
Hmm..im going to test this out too. I run pandora when im in the car and sync my car to my bluetooth fm receiver..i ll attach screens on how i ll control the proccess using llma.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TCUENGR:
I've had similar experience in my Acura, albeit I reckon my situation is worse.

If pbap is running, the phone will NOT connect to the car's bluetooth. Moreover if I try to kill pbap after getting in the car, the phone (and the car) go wonky and both bluetooth systems hang until reset. The only way it works if I kill pbap before getting in the car, which sucks as it tends to start itself every time bluetooth is started.

I'm searching for a way to kill it PERMANENTLY. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashwing:
You can freeze the PBAB in Titanium (pro) or rename it (if you have root) - also causing a lot of problems with BMW/Nissan/Toyota and others is the BluetoothSharing process.

Samsung S II Batery Drain Related to Bluetooth

After weeks of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered that my high battery drain was caused by uninstalling the Toyota Entune application on my Android. After reinstalling Entune from the Google Play Market my phone my high CPU utilization and corresponding battery drain completely stopped and my phone works as expected. Perhaps corruption from the install/uninstall of phone to car software is causing Bluetooth corruption:good:.

Hey,

This works with DS with Root S-Off

When you tried to install the RUU for this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

or Recovery gone missing after flashing

Your phone got stuck on HTC Logo

You tried to go into recovery but nothing but the image of a

phone

PS: I don't remember if it's the same but you get the concept

DON'T PANIC

Steps:

1. Download the PG88IMG.zip from downstairs

2. Put your sdcard on another phone make sure to put the file on your /sdcard

3. Go into Bootloader (Turn off phone then press the volume down button and the power button to go)

4. It will check for PG88IMG.zip and ask you if you want to install it (vol up for yes)

5. It will ask you to reboot do that

6. Turn off phone

7. Re-put your sdcard on another phone

8. Remove the PG88IMG.zip

9. Put it on your phone with a ROM on it

10. Boot into Bootloader and go to recovery

11. Congrats Clockworkmod is back on

12. Install ROM after wiping cache, data and system and there you go FIXED!

(Do not restore a backup if you were on 4ext recovery it will not work. Install the ROM up fresh then get 4ext recovery updater from market and re-install it then you can restore a backup)

You can also run an old RUU.
[HTC Desire S] Opalid:
mOh19973, first of all thanks for the guide!

I followed it after your suggestion here.

I tried this but even though the file's flashed to the phone the issue remains.

I'm not sure if the phone had CWM previously (I wasn't the one who s-offed/rooted it), so I don't know if that would prevent this from working... would it? I also tried this, but when I select recovery the bootloop just resumes...

Also, all the steps that required putting the sd card in another phone were done on a non-rooted Samsung Galaxy Gio, is that ok?

Thanks again for the help!

EDIT: So, after some info/guides on my original thread the apparent conclusion is... fried eMMC. :( thanks again everybody

recover update is in progress..... but never completes

Hi

sorry to post it here as reply, I am new in this forum and coundn't find link to create a new post.

My problem is:

My HTC Deire S got automatically restarted time and again last week, later it started going hanged, with black screen if I click Power button which wouldn't wake up until I take off battery and restart again. Few days later even that cannon be done. So I tried to factory restart since I didn't had any other option. but it ended with red triangle and exclamation mark.:confused:

Now when I put on the device I just get white screen with HTC logo

So I tried recovery updating

Device asks me if I want to start update

when I press 'Yes" I get :

Update is in progress... (in blue)

Do not power off the device! (in red)

But the update never ends, the screen remains as it is with 'updating' information until it has no battery power.

I had tried it for few times it is always same

I hope to get help from friends over here.

By the way I bought the device in China last May, and it came S-OFF

Information I get when I open HBoot screen is

SAGA PUT SHIP S-OFF RL

I have a SCL3711 NFC dongle and a Nexus S.

I'm writing an app that, among other things, should allow the smartphone to act as tag.

I would like to know if I can use the dongle connected to Eclipse instead of the emulator or the Nexus, so that I can test the app using the dongle and the nexus s to read the "emulated tag".

Hope my description was not too messy.

Go to the Android Market, then go to my apps. Google Music should be under "not installed"... click on it and then press the "Update" button. ROM Manager would not conflict with Google Music.

See if that helps it.

Okay, I did all this, and it's still FC. Are there any third-party apps that anyone knows of that can stream from Google Music?

I hear you about the screen its my one drawback as well. outside of that, this phone has been great thus far. Sucked to here the HD is going hit canada, but not until q2 which by then, more quad core devices are going to be on their way so its not as big of a deal.

I love my skyrocket. Its been the best phone to date I have had. infuse was ok but felt cheaper to me... have a white note coming next week. and cant wait. cause to me its like a bigger skyrocket.. with a few little extras.. but will keep my skyrocket on my spare line. etc..

Funny thing is.. on the skyrocket the stock rom has been so good havent felt the need to install another etc.. unlike say the inspire or infuse or atrix. or the 10 million other androids I have had in the past. etc..

For the first time Ive been throttled at the 2gb mark. My data speeds at this time are between no data and 100 kbps. AT&T keeps telling me that is incorrect and that I should just wait the remaining week until my data cap resets. They were extremely kind enough to offer me a $30 for 3gb data plan.

Best analogy I can think of, several years after owning my car, Toyota calls me up one day and says: Hey jerk0ff, you now have two options:

1) drive as fast as you want as far as you want for 2 miles, after which you can only drive up to 10 mph every 30 days

2) drive as fast as you want for 3 miles then we charge you for every mile after that.

What a bunch of crooks. They keep telling me I shouldn't be experiencing data speeds being affected in any way other than video. Well, accessing google.com isnt video but it takes about a minute to load.
[Networking] Dark lord me:
Frankly if you pay $30 and get throttled at 2 and they offer a $30 plan for 3 gigs you shouldn't be throttled until at least 3 gigs, probably not the news you want but hey you wouldn't be paying more over and you get just as much bang for your buck

If you have one of their grandfathered unlimited plans, and they throttle you at 2GB, you should really consider getting a lawyer. What they are doing is in no way considered fair use.

Say there was a big prestigious race going on between 100 cars. These cars would be going around the track for 100 laps. Now imagine that at the end of each lap, the top five cars each had one of their tires flattened. If this kept up for the entire race, eventually every single car would have all of their tires flattened, and no one would enjoy the race.

This is what it's like to have throttled data on an "unlimited data" plan where they kick off the top users for abuse of the unlimited plan.

I know, mind = blown, right?

That's why I moved off of AT&T and onto Sprint. Unlimited data with no caps. Though Sprint's speeds are not the best against the other carriers, at least it is truly unlimited. Where I live, I get over 1 Mbps on 3G, which is good enough to stream YouTube videos in HQ on my phone (which is the most demanding data app I use anyways). Hopefully with Sprint's Network Vision coming to fruition in the next few years, their speeds should increase, but I'm hoping they don't end unlimited data because it is really their selling point and a way to steal customers from other carriers.

I am sure than if a judge see 2 phones one cap and another working normal it would not have any problem ruling that what they are doing is sabotaging or killing your line,nothing works but text and voice.

Leave them AT&T is the worst of all the companies,because bad practices,monopoly and screwing people up is what they have done for more than 100 years,so you know old habits die hard.

They charge you like $80 or more for 3GB when other companies offer you 5 for less,i don't like T-mobile policies either,but is the closes you will find that is great and cap you at 5GB for less money.

I went to sprint,but the speed are horrible,i actually yesterday for the first time tested wimax,and it was incredible compare to how slow is almost always,i got 7,000kb on speed test on wimax which is great for anything.

I've read some folks draining at less than 1% per hour sleeping. I'd be happy if I can achieve 1% per hour sleeping.

Anyone getting this or better? If so, share with us your secret!
