[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Update: I have requested a return for my 7.7 and re-ordered. The good news is that the price has dropped £100, probably due to competition from the drop in the iPad2 price because of the iPad3 release.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jabbermacy:
Your own private thread; sweet! Thanks for the story :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks for your response for I was beginning to think I was being boycotted. I am not very knowledgeable on these matters and I was hoping someone could help or at least explain why I still had the problem after re-flashing the latest and previous stock ROMS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
I have discovered that the downloading loop problem can be fixed by doing a factory reset but you need to re-flash the stock ROM first or let the battery go flat to get out of the download loop.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Elsanty:
how?

Hi men, this problem just happen to me like 3 hours ago, i am waiting to the battery goes flat but i think is gona take to much because it was just unplugged from the adapter... :( before this happen an actualization of the AIDE was performed and it ask me t reboot the tab, when I turn it off the Downloading android appear and i cant turn it off.... u said that waiting for the battery to go flat function? and if there are more procedure to perform?? thanks....

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

well this is kind of fun... i manage the issue.... it seems that this tab have the unique program buttons in the on/off button and the volume button... result that if this problem happen to U u just have to press the power button and keep pressing the button while u continuously press the up volume button for several times until it reboot correctly... thanks god this works :) :fingers-crossed: :laugh: :victory::victory::victory:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] HapaBiH:
I had a galaxy tab 2 with the similar problem and what i found out is that it had only one solution for getting back into system (beside battery drain, battery removal), that solution was to hold Val Up and Val Down simultaneously for a couple of seconds. With that combination the tab would reset and boot up correctly. So, this COULD be a solution for your problem too.

Hey so I am currently following this thread to upgrade my DX2 to the milestone X2's 2.3.6: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542456

So I am following the steps and I am currently on the SBF leak for 2.3.4 and I am instructed to OTA update to 2.3.5/413.

My question is how do I OTA update to 2.3.5/413 from 2.3.4? Sorry this may be a dumb question
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
It's in my signature Q&A. Easy to read :rolleyes: :

Start here

Use Root Explorer>properties to check that the md5s match. Rename the Blur.zip 1Blur.zip and paste it at the root of your SD removable card. Power off>Power on>as you see the Big M push the rocker down>keep pushing down 8 times>push up>you will see the green creature AND OF COURSE HE IS TELLING YOU TO PUSH THE ROCKER AGAIN but IN THE MIDDLE like BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! (rant off)>choose "apply update from sdcard" and it will let you pick.

Be prepared to zurgrush after which never works for me. Hence the VooDoo.
[Motorola Droid X2] mwatts:
thanks for replying; that was very helpful! i know i sound like a noob, but my md5 sums do not match? i downloaded the md5 checker and checked the properties and they do not match from: BD244133906F6D0096BE4B6603A85332 <-- the md5 sum you had posted on your thread below the OTA download
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
But are you matching the ota 235.413.zip? Do Not match the blur.zip in side.

[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
hey I don't see that thread you are talking about? Also when I try to flash it I get an error 7. Do you know whats wrong?

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

and my md5sum doesn't match either... DO I have the wrong zip? and if so do you know where I can find the leak? I can't find another link that works.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
In my signature link.
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
Thanks I couldn't find it at first because the post is kinda long
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I just checked em all ok . Do not unzipp on pc use phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
When I use android recovery it says E signature verification failed... whats wrong? and if i use bootstrap it doesn't do anything it seems stuck at installing. And am I supposed to unzip the update? I usually used just the zipped files to install?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
You are on what version of GB and trying to flash what?
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
I'm on 2.3.4 going to 2.3.5
[Motorola Droid X2] mwatts:
Yeah, im still having errors too. Like I did everything you said; but when i go to update it it fails in the verification. The zip "OTA 235.413" I check and md5 sum matches; then i extract all and then i move extract file to root of sd card. then i rename the zip inside of the OTA zip to 1blur.zip and then i turn off; boot phone to stock android recovery choose the 1blur.zip to update and then it fails in verification. im on 2.3.4
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
You keep extracting till you the blurMB870...ver#.bla bla..zip
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
I don't understand I have done this before and didn't have to extract anything and when I extract I can't extract anything else? and when I extract there is nothing to install.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Sorry

Ota 235.413 is a folder inside is :

Blur_Version.1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US.zip

Rename to 1blur...zip so it comes 1st when you are using stock recovery
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
should i be rooted or unrooted?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Too zurgrush or VooDoo. ZR NO rooting needed b4 ota. VooDoo need to save su backup so yes.
[Motorola Droid X2] X2guy:
I'm still getting that error and I'm rooted on zergrush.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Must be on the 234 leak and 100% stock for the ota to take.

Ok but I still have the same problem. This is crazy could there be a problem with the zips?
[General Questions and Answers] RobvanBobbert:
Hi,

In an attempt to remove the emergency dial button from the lock screen, I got into boot loop. I had edited some xml file in the framework-res.apk, put it on the phone, but then every time I booted it up, I couldn't do anything, it would reboot and reboot... I have a backup of the original framework-res.apk, so I did factory reset in recovery mode, managed to get my phone working long enough to put the original framework-res.apk in the correct folder, but as soon as I tried to set the right permissions, it rebooted and now, logically, it reboots but it doesn't even get to the PIN lock screen...

I have had this phone 3 days now and I have no money for a new one, is there any way I can restore the original file with the correct permissions without being able to boot into the phone, the only thing I have is recovery mode with the options "apply update from sdcard", "wipe data / factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "test redbend"

Please, I am really desperate here. Searching the internet for hours for a solution, but in most cases I just lack the knowledge to do it. Also, if it's possible, I'd like to maintain my warranty.

Please help me, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

rob

[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Flash a stock rom or custom rom for your phone. ALWAYS backup before you do any Modding or flashing...hope this helps :)
[General Questions and Answers] RobvanBobbert:
Yeah, I've done that now, but I can't find a stock rom of my region and I'm stuck with a qwerty layout, so now I think I'm going to restore a backup of my friend's phone (he has exactly the same phone). Hope I get everything back to normal then.

Greets,

Rob
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Ya it should work then, or ask somebody here for a nandroid backup for your phone, good luck :)
[General Questions and Answers] RobvanBobbert:
Is there anything I should look out for before I restore my friend's backup to my phone? I'm kind of paranoid I'm going to screw it all up again...

Edit:

What I was planning on doing:

Root my friend's phone

Install ROM manager

Install Clockworkmod recovery

Create backup on SD card

Put SD card in my phone

Go into CWM recovery

Restore

Choose his backup

Restore

Boot up the phone, make sure everything is alright

Go into recovery mode

Factory reset / user data delete

Does this seem right or should I check some things first?

I thought I read that you have to have the same kernel version or something?

Since I'm running a stock ROM atm, I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about.

Edit 2: I have already found out that we have different kernels, he has 2.6.35.7-perf-cl561624 and I have 2.6.35.7-perf-CL465576
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
ok first make a backup of your rom (i no your rom is messed up but do it anyways) flash your freinds backup, make sure you wipe data/system first. The reason I say backup yourrom first becasue you say your freind has a diffrent kernel, so if it dosent work you have a backup so you can restore where you started, understand?
[General Questions and Answers] RobvanBobbert:
Will do,

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me, I will post the results tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
ok let me how it came along :)
[General Questions and Answers] RobvanBobbert:
It worked :)

I created a backup on his phone, put the sd card in my phone, restored the backup, booted up the phone, everything worked great, rebooted in recovery mode and wiped user data en resetted factory settings, phone is up and running now with the original firmware. So glad it worked :)

Thanks again!

Hello.

I'm trying to debug an application that stops immediately after execution.

I think that first I need to know how to properly execute it using am (AcitivtyManager). after reading lots of posts regarding the issue here and on google things still aren't clear enough.

at the following URL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597096

I saw the following example that requires the package name and the Activity class name.

am start -n com.metago.astro/.FileManagerActivity

how can I find out the activity class name of an installed app?

in some other posts i read that the manifest file contains that information but I unzipped the apk and the AndroidManifest.xml seems to be compiled or something without any readable text. please enlight me on this issue. how does the android knows how to execute the application? what information does he stores and how!?? Can I extract that information to understand how to execute the app?

any information regarding the issue would be greatly appreciated, there are many posts, but nothing concrete.

thanks!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] load"":
Hello, I noticed the color stripes that appears if the black text is on white background.

They are seen best at low brightness. They can be seen for example by opening office. The strips come from "notes" to "documents" to "locations" for example.

Especially in text documents. I tried to photo this but failed. So I made photoshop picture. Here it is. Is this a defect or a feature of pentile display?

Because game hub have gray background, not white. Try to enable light theme and you will see stripes everywhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] </travis>:
Like load"" said, try using the light theme first and see if stripes shows everywhere, if it does, then I assume its the screen itself because of pentile and clearblack, if it doesn't, try hard reset?
[HTC Rezound] drtnsnw:
OK, I have had this problem for a while, had another post but it got lost somewhere with no answers.

I sent my old Rezound in because of overheating issues. Have had easytether on it for a few months and loved it. When I got the replacement it did a wierd thing, it would connect to the internet fine, I could browse pages great but if I tried to watch a video it would slow to a stop after a minute or 2. If I tried to run a speedtest it would jump up to 8 or 9 mgps then fall off and never finish the test it just starts falling until there is nothing.

I convinced VZW to replace it again and now the second new phone does the exact same thing. I tried another computer same thing. Restored phone to factory fresh, same thing!!! Could it be my sim card?? Oh yeah, I tried one of the other wired programs with the same result

Please help me, this is driving me nuts and the company that built easytether are NO HELP!!!!

i believe the rezound overheats and gets warm when using any tether. also ive never been able to get wireless tether to work in the first place.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I got this to work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540707&highlight=wireless+tether

This was on a stock rooted ROM.

I rarely would use it since I have a 4G hotspot already and that is a lot easier to use.
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
Personally I would say the sim or your coverage area is the problem because I tether just fine. My rezound does overheat but my connection stays stable the whole time. I can download a game demo on my Xbox in no time with no data drops, and those demos are sometimes in the couple gigabytes in size.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Just a few hours ago i was ready to buy a 7.7. I went to this supplier i have been getting phones from for the longest time. Tried out 3 units, all had dead pixels. Then went to the mall. Tried the samsung shop and 2 units had dead pixels. Got frustrated and bought a 7.0 plus instead. What a let down. :-( Samsung's quality control is really poor. :-(

I really wanted the 7.7 but I couldn't bring myself to buy a defective unit. For such an expensive device I expect the very best.

Anyway I guess any new buyers should always use the screen test. We shouldn't let Samsung get away with letting subpar units out of the factory.

I guess I'll just stick with this till they iron out whatever qc problems they have.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sladeywadey:
mine is fine. Am I lucky? ;)

Yes very. :banghead:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Can you tell how to do the test that you performed on all these in store units??

Id like to do the same test that you checked out those units with.

Thanks for replying with instructions on HOW TO do your test..

Thanks you!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Use the lcd test. Open dialer then type *#*#0*#*#*
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
@prinzhernan

I think you are the unlucky one. :P

I never see a phone with dead pixel for a long long time.

I think I tested more than 7 units of tab 7.7 (mine + friends' + other people's when they buying) and all have no screen issue at all.

I'm a dead/bright pixel freak too, screen is the first think I test on any new units. ^^

You may try to look for 7.7 again, I'm certain you'll fine a good one ^^
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
same as yours haven't gotten a phone with a dead pixel on it since i ported to android os and most of them are from samsung :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I've tested 20 Tab7.7's only about 2 didnt have any screen issues. Our tests may vary though. Mine is purely objective.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
thank you... i didn't see anything unusual..

does it say you have dead pixels.....

or can you just tell right away?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
It surely objective, looking for a dead pixel is very easy and clear cut. If there is one, there is. If there is none there is none.

The first batch selling here (Thailand) made in Vietnam.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

You need to look by yourself.

Main colors are Red Green and Blue.

You can simply display white and if there is no pixel with strange color(non white) then you should be fine.

Or you can display main colors one by one and see if there is any black pixel.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] CyberShepherd:
Could this be a problem of where you're buying from? Are these sellers unboxing new units for you to examine or is the LCD test revealing dead pixels on display models (which are subjected to levels of abuse and non-maintenance that would screw up devices from any manufacturer)?

It seems a new model from a reputable dealer (with a clear return policy concerning issues such as dead pixels) would be a safe route to getting the machine you want. Calling Samsung out as being negligent on QC protocol seems unfair based on a single dealer and problems at the mall.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Im not only referring to dead pixels but my objective testing includes visible lines in greys, discolorations from edge to edge and viewing angle differences.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mywingtophone:
Possibly your middle name is B for bad luck and still ended up getting a samsung lol. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 00sully:
I read all of the screen issues on here and was dreading getting a faulty unit with screen defects but luckily mine is flawless (so far!) have been using honeybar to hide the bar to avoid burn in but so far all clear (fingers crossed!) got mine from panamoz - non 3g version - delighted so far :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Actually the first shop is a reputable dealer opening new units for me. The second shop in the mall was samsung itself!

Sadly in my country they don't have a dead pixel return policy.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
One dead pixel is not tolerable anywhere in the world, so you should be entitled to get a replacement, but I am not sure about the customer right in Philippines.

Anyway 7+ is not that bad at all. In retrospective I would have bought a 7+ if not for the decent weight and shape of 7.7.

However, I do agree with you that Samsung should improve their QC. I have to live with the compass miscalibration problem because I can't not part with my 7.7 for repairment. :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Samsung actually does allow warranties and replacements for 1 dead pixel in the Philippines but they do let you know that the policy is 3-5 depending on the device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
for lcd tv i thionk its 5 and above and for phones it maybe in that range from 3 to 5 :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GadgetMe:
Does this work for other samsung devices to? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Im gonna say it again, samsung ph will accept warranty claims on a single dead pixel on their highend devices. I've been there and I've done it, lots of friends and other forumers over at TCP has done with with the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S2.

For HDTV's its case to case basis, 1 dead pixel smack at the middle is an automatic replacement, deadpixels on the sides require about 3 but Im sure they will it with out issues in recently purchased devices, it can be considered as DoA.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
This works for samsung honeycomb devices. On phones the code is different.

I didn't know this. Although I'd be bummed out buying a product and having 1 dead pixel, then having it sent to repair right after since all 5 boxes opened for me had dead pixels!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Since you are still in the process of purchasing then you have the right to decline those, its easier to go through boxes of Samsung products than Apple products ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GadgetMe:
Ok, thanks, do you know the code for the phones to? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] charliechocolate:
So what do you think of the 7.0 plus? I went to see it on friday, pretty much ready to buy it on paper. The screen really disappointed me though. Dunno if the new ipad factor screwed me, but I just thought the 7.0 plus screen was really poor. Makes me confused by samsung (giving better tech to a competitor than they use for themselves). Waiting for a 7.7 to become available locally so I can witness first hand before buying.

ps. How did these stores respond to being stuck with 3 (or 2) open box units??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Here in the Philippines, unless the unit does not really power on they just resell it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Well the 7 plus is okay. Of course I would have preferred the 7.7 but I took 5 faulty units as some divine sign that I should wait for better development with amoled screens. In all honesty what attracted me to the 7.7 was the battery life first before the screen because both LCD and amoled have their pros and cons; faithful color reproduction vs saturated brilliance. Depends on the user really.

The 7 plus is quite good if you need	a casual gadget to do social networking and some reading (ebooks , pdf and word documents). It does really well too in surfing as it displays websites like a desktop. So all in all while it's not groundbreaking it gets the job done. You can get this then wait for the new tabs rolling out late this year. It's sort of like a tide me over tab while waiting for the new ones because honestly honeycomb sometimes suffers from lag in all the tabs I've tried and tested.

Am I a lucky one too ? :rolleyes:
