Hi, several of we GT 10.1" tab owners over in the tab specific area are looking into adding a external micro SD to our tabs. I am hoping that we might find some more expertise and input in this section of the forum.

The ongoing thread we are discussing the mod in can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600661, but hopefully we can merge the threads, or somehow keep things straight, but it seems this may be the more appropriate forum section.

Brief recap is that it appears the early/pre-release GT-P7500 had an external SD card. My later model GT-P7510 has the associated area on the MOBO unpopulated. I found the connectors, the OP in the thread found the factory SD card holders. I used my tab for a test, soldered the the connector on, and early indications are it is not functioning. So far I haven't been able to dig back into it, but common consensus is that the unpopulated area near the SD reader connector is needed. I have a lot of experience with simpler analog electronics, and analog design, but to repopulate the needed components with no idea of where to start is beyond the scope of my abilities.

We have the GT-P7500 service manual, at least most of it I think. The MOBO photos in the manual show the area populated, but the photos are to low resolution to gain any useful data. I found some supposedly leaked FCC photos of the tab disassembled pre-release. It also shows the SD card area populated, and this one shows the SD card holder as well, but again low resolution.

Currently we are hoping that maybe the very early HW revisions of the 3g GT-p7500 may have had the SD card area populated, and possibly one of you owners could help us.

If anyone has any input, or can help build the circuit from the ground up I am happy to provide any testing/data/pinouts I can.

On a side note-- does anyone know how many times I can disassemble my tab without ruining the case?

Thanks in advance folks!

In addition to any missing components, you need to figure out which SDHCI interface of the CPU that is hung off of and add it to the platdata:

https://github.com/pershoot/galaxy-2636/blob/ics/arch/arm/mach-tegra/board-p4wifi-sdhci.c#L296

Looks like 3 is the internal eMMC, 0 is the wifi chip (BCM4329 and 4330 are SDIO wifi chipsets), 1 and 2 are not used.
[Hardware Hacking General] Hipcatjack:
I too have been toying around with this idea. Looks like I'm not alone in thinking this tab would rock with a microsd. Only you guys are way farther ahead than me! Also I know for a fact that the gtab 10.1 v2 that's coming out sometime this year will have an SD slot. And it looks like little else that's different. Maybe when one of us gets our hands on it we can see on the inside where things are populated or not.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Turns out that you're most likely wrong on this - all evidence (including the recent source release I believe) indicates the Tab2 10.1 will be OMAP4-based just like the Tab2 7.0 is.
[Hardware Hacking General] Boonex:
interesting :) thanks
[Hardware Hacking General] jacampb2:
Looks like I will finally have some free time to open my tab up again. I plan to ring out the SD card holder to the connector, and then on out from there. I will go at least as far as the unpop area if that is indeed where it leads. While I have it open, do you folks have any suggestions as to other testing or mapping to do? I appreciate the input so far-- I don't really know much about the software side, but we can burn that bridge if/when we get there. Will keep you all posted.

Later,

Hi! Do you know that if you add a sd-card extension, you must develop new drivers and kernels? And this could probably make you lose your warranty...
[Hardware Hacking General] macdova:
SD card

why do manufactures insist on leaving sd card slots off the build? doesnt seem like it would cost to much include one.
[Hardware Hacking General] ash_jor:

[Hardware Hacking General] DFCNightMareNL:
Hi,

My friend has a 10.1 GT 7500,

He bought an external adapter for sdcard.

Perhaps you can use the layout schemas from such a device to discover what you need to make it work internally.

Its probaply the same "signal wires" but now abvailable on the external connector.

Hope this helps/.
[Hardware Hacking General] jacampb2:
Yes, thank you. The tab has been rooted and running experimental roms from ~6hrs after I bought it. Warranty has been void for quite a while...

I doubt so much that it is the hardware costs, although it would add up to a significant amount, but rather due to the desire to sell the more costly tabs with more internal memory. After all, why would the you buy a 64gb tab for $200 more than the 16gb one, when you could throw in a 32gb card for $30? It seems pretty clear in this case, Sammy had developed the tab with external SD. There are lots of photos floating around of the pre-release tabs with slots. There is some evidence that they planned this nearly to the last minute, as we are buying the factory holders which "don't exist" on ebay. Unless they could not get the SD reader working properly or had more issues than the time solving was worth, then I think all things point toward this being a plain and simple money move.

I appreciate the input, I have the Sammy autherized adapters. These all use the USB OTG protocol, and I think it is unlikely that the hardware will be the same. I will deffenitely investigate this though.

Thanks,

Jason

[HTC Amaze 4G] hvagrantz:
i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].

Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hvagrantz:
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
[HTC Amaze 4G] falconeyedtiger:
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hvagrantz:
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I noticed we just got a new forum for T-Mo development. This troubles me a good bit, because I don't think it's necessary, and it potentially fragments the community. EU roms work just fine on the US devices. The only difference they have is in a couple of frequencies in the radio firmware. Unless ROM'ers are releasing EU radios, or radios in general (they arent currently), then there's no need for a separate forum. They are for all intents and purposes, the SAME device.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kenchinito:
someone out there, please help me. Today when I went out to work I was playing with my phone and then put it away while I was driving. When I got back to it I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, so I keep the On key pressed for a few seconds and then it turns on.

So I thought maybe the phone needed a restart, so I did. I pressed the On key for a second and then selected "Restart". and it never started back again. I´ve been trying to press the on key for like 1 minute a nothing shows up, I connect it to the charger and the charging led doesn´t light up.

When I connect it to my computer, it seems to recognize something in the task manager as it says "Unknown Device"

Anybody knows a method to make it boot? like a typical "battery Pull"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elsupermang:
Try holding Power key for 10 seconds?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
This ^^. or try to boot into recovery (hold volume down, then press and hold power, hold both until the three androids appear. then use volume down to select "reboot"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kenchinito:
thanks for the reply, I just tried that and nothing, no light, no led. The capacitive buttons don´t light up either. =(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lilhyper:
Try leaving it plugged in for awhile to make sure it's charged before you try to reboot into recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cranch:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KLUVJ:
I was thinking an thought. With android, sometimes the phones just get messed around too much. When I had my galaxy nexus, everytime i meet a freeze or something, I just pull the battery and reboot the phone. If the phone is messed up and wont boot. I can still just pull the battery, put it in, and boot into recovery. Now, is there any safe way to do all of this? I am worried about the One X, and still am debating between this and the note, reason being I flash a lot and dunno wat i can do if i really just mess up my phone. Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
If you hold down the power button for 10 seconds it will hard reset the phone. This is exactly the same behavior as the iPhone and other phones with a non-removable battery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tuan1978:
I have the same problem, when I charge it the charging indicator doesn't even turn red or green. I tried a wall charger as well as connecting it to my computer. I tried holding the power button for 10 secs, also while holding down the volume down button. Nothing works. I'm going to call HTC tomorrow, and might need to bring it back to the shop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KitF:
It always seems a bit finicky to turn on for me. I still have no idea how exactly to turn it on, I jus randomly press the button until it turns on.

If you buy from ebay india (ebay.in) then it would cost you around rs. 300-400, if you buy from ebay.com , it would cost arnd 220-250 and then that also includes a very good anti-fingerprint screen protector..(which i didnot use as i got one earlier locally).
