Are you good with flashing and using Flashtool?

Assuming you are living in UK and you own a R800i

Install flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

Once downloaded and installed head over to the directory of the programm and inside the folder "Drivers" install the driver located and chose appropriete options when the tick boxes come. Then download this FTF file:

https://rapidshare.com/files/698194045/R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf

Now remember this is a Stock Firmware, so reverts your phone back to how you baught it in terms of Kernal, ROM, and baseband.

Warning: The process would delete use Data/ Factory reset

Files on the SD card should stay intact.

Through flashtool click on the main flash icon and select flashmode. The FTF file I linked you must be placed in a folder called "Firmware" again in teh directory of the programm before hand. Follow up the steps and your good to go. Once your phone boot up you will recognise the firmware is changed to the original Stock ROM.

After all thats is done follow up this Unrooting script by doomlord

Flashing stock Rom in flashmode takes away root so I don't think he needs to do that.

I wrote this article about the consequences of "Spoofing"...

Please read it...!

It would be nice, if this article could be translated into other languages and posted by other bada-portals...

THX in advance by Taxidriver05 form German bada-News-Blog badania.de.

(Maybe this post could be marked as "sticky"...)
[Bada Software Development] adfree:
Please...

Spoofing is NOT the reason why bada dies or is dead...

How many Apps/Games or other content is shared from Android and/or iPhone community?

Btw...

Why Flash Themes are much better protected as Apps?

DCF aka AES 128 is not broken for Themes... :D

Why Samsung share Fullcerts in bada SDK to sign Apps self ? :confused: :D

Remember... everywhere I can read NOT share private keys... :rolleyes:

To prevent Security break...

Samsung Apps Store is hard to use...

Annoying Kies and Samsung Apps kona updates... :mad:

Then they are not able to handle certification process correct...

Remember Nxvigox or FEW other "jokes"...

Common, we have waiting very long... with maximum on patient...

With no Apps/Games bada is complete NOT attractiv for customers...

Not all customers can buy Apps for more then 5 Euro...

Also remember not all countries can buy...

Not all have credit cards...

Other pay method not ever work... :rolleyes:

bada has many problems... more major problems then Spoofing.

bada Devs should ask Samsung about better protection of their Apps...

Hint... Flash Themes... ;)

Best Regards
[Bada Software Development] Taxidriver05:
In some way you are right...

But you should take care about the fact how long Android and iOS are on market...

bada is quite young compared to thes OSes and should be pushed... Also by the community...

and spoofing is not an adequate method.
[Bada Software Development] adfree:
But for instance me my self and I... have bada handsets since over 1,5 years...

2 years is very loooong time...

I cant wait too long... I'm not the youngest anymore... :D

Please, remember how long Samsung play with bada "2"...

Now at the moment we can also play with bada 2. :D ;)

Maybe Samsung fix Security holes... 1 day... in future...

Normally they could do it...

Anyway.

Spoofing is not the reason for dying bada...

Bad Customer Support...

Bad Firmware Support...

Bad Kies/ Samsung Apps Support...

Bad and very stupid comments in App Store... :mad:

Why it is allowed to write so much nonsense in comments...

Many bad and annoying "mistakes"...

.

[Bada Software Development] spacks:
etc. etc. etc....

I completely agree with you.

The failure of bada OS is not going to be as a result of lack of customers,

but bada will surely fail as a result of Samsung's lack of support for the OS.

At times I wonder why we the customers are more eager for bada to grow and survive, more than Samsung themselves who pocket all the profits from the sales.

We have endured for so long. We have climbed to the highest heights of patience with bada OS. Maybe it's time now to start descending from these heights. Our patience is dying everyday. It's just a matter of time.
[Bada Software Development] anghelyi:
Unfortunately(?) I have to agree with you. Totally. I'm maybe harsh but in my opinion not allowing spoofing (or warez in any form) hurts Bada more than anything else... And I'm saying this by not having any warez on my phone. Why can android bloom even if all the apps are available as .apk everywhere? And it's the same with iOS. I'm pretty sure that Google and Apple would be able to lock down the apps, too, but they realized, that warez could drive the bussines. More apps -> more sold phones -> more profit (and more phones -> more users -> more sold apps so at the end even the developer gets more money..).

Of course it's just my 2 cents..
[Bada Software Development] hero355:
and think us who don't have paid samsung apps :D
[Bada Software Development] mylove90:
Samsung doesn't really care about bada like you

I know this because i met Samsung employees & asked for their help several times but being a bada developer made them neglect me :(

Yes Samsung is too stupid in its way of support....if you don't have connections inside the company itself you may not get supported at all !!

And about Samsung Apps

Compare Samsung Apps to any other store.....

Even Android part is not that good in it

Samsung Apps was originally meant for bada but Android team wanted it too....

So now you can know who really get Samsung's support :mad:

About Spoofing

It is the way out for a user like me don't have a paid Samsung Apps till now :mad:

Yes it is planned next month...but you know Samsung's promises...

Spoofing is not killing bada....it is helping it to hold on or even keep its current users instead of going to another platform

But now bye bye Test Kid...

Chance to install more then 1 Sample App or self developed App,

without Samsungs Permission. :cool:

So 1 Dev not need Test Kid nor Samsungs Certification massaker... :)

Maybe then Filemanager or other usefull Tools possible. As App...

[Bada Software Development] wav3rid3r:
in my view, unfortunately, Bada is already dead :rolleyes:

its pretty obvious by now that samsung wont be supporting/developing it in the future

maybe some more few firmwares with some bug corrections, but thats it

and spoofing had nothing to do with this

in fact, i think spoofing could only help the system to stay alive

one of the factors that made android a case of success, was the fact that the users could get most of the good apps for free (being it in a legitimate way or not)

no system will survive without a certain possiblity of hacking/piracy
[Bada Software Development] bbmadzky:
I share my sympathy to all of you here. I too owned a Samsung Wave 1 phone before. It took me more than a year to believe the hope that Samsung will continue and develop Bada unto its peak since it fresh and young and it needs to cope up with what's already with today's other mobile platforms. I had enough already! I had my patience stretched with all the bad things given by our mates on the previous posts. But the patience eventually broke and decided I am worthy of the functionality I paid for. So sold my wave to my frustrations and I never been so happy in doing so after switching to android. Bada is good. But it has the least priority to Samsung. And that's the reason many hearts have been broken and wasted frustrations.

I do not hate Samsung. I hate how they handle Bada and how they fool the owners of Bada phones to but them. I own a Samsung android phone to date. But Samsung should not have released Samsung Bada from the first place. The way they handle its development is making themselves and especially their platform "Bada" shameful.
[Bada Software Development] wav3rid3r:
we, the people who bought bada phones are just the guinea pigs of a samsung experiment that failed :p

i bet a lot of people who bought a bada phone, especially the 1st wave (as is my case), thought the same as i did:

1) "wow.. such a great hardware for so little money" (i bought mine new for just 200 euros... unlocked!) "what a deal... hardware specs equal or better to an iphone, but at a quarter of the price"

2) "so it has a new OS... hmm.. its still in develpment and has room to grow... and with a big company like Samsung behind it..... hmmm... ill give it a try"

had samsung succeeded in developing the platform right, and today we would still have a killer phone

(imo, if my s8500 was an android or iOS phone, i wouldnt excahnge it for no other)

but unfortunately Samsung failed, leaving us with a great hardware piece of kit, but with no software to make really good use of it :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
Hi all, just nabbed a 7.7 today moving away from the p1000. I started playing around with the camera and I immediately noticed some oddities especially when switching to video mode set at 720p quality.

Below are screenshots taken with my SGS 2, where I placed the tablet stationary at a certain distance from my printer and tested different resolution settings on the camera, while maintaining the tablet in same position at all times.

First a test with the picture mode, the distances between 480p and the highest quality isn't very noticeable but it's there,

480p

Highest quality with widescreen

This, I have no problems whatsoever, taking pictures still feels the same as the p1000 and that's good because I'm used to that.

Next is where I am really confused. When switching to video mode, I noticed the entire printer seems to be zoomed in closer and the graininess has increased drastically (I suspect the increased in graininess comes from zooming too close to it). I have checked everywhere in the menu to look for zoom settings but alas, after googling around the tablet's default camera app doesn't support zoom at all. Which brings me to an even bigger problem, as it just feels out of place when everything is zoomed in whenever I wanted to take a video recording. After turning down the quality to 480p, it felt so much better with the distancing between the object and the camera. Pics below will show the comparison between both settings,

480p video

720p video

Is everyone else having this same oddity with their camera as well? I hope its not a 'normal' thing cause I'd be hating it immensely (just using 480p mode in the meantime) :|
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
any kind sgt owners willing to test this out for me and give a feedback?

at least I could pinpoint if its a hardware or software problem, if its different between other tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zenbbqmaster:
I am having the same problem. I was wanting to use my 7.7 as a uStream live streaming device for some of our company events, and because of this problem, I am using my phone instead, which sucks because phone calls can interupt!

Anyone else notice vid camera zoomed all of the way in, with no other way to zoom out. Is there a fix?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
I have never used 720p video recording before, but after reading this thread I just tried it. Same problem as reported. On 480p everything works fine, but on 720p vid is zoomed in alot. Also quality is way worse than on 480p.

I guess without this thread I would have never noticed that, but this is indeed a huge bug that should not happen on final software for an expensive device like this. :mad:

It is advertised with hd video recording after all...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
thanks guys for the feedback!

I was almost tempted to try another firmware but with different SGT 7.7's out there affected by this bug, it needs to be reported.

I am pretty sure it is a software problem which is causing the camera to zoom in on HD mode (digital zooming is possible with third party software as I have tried it)

Also, because it is always digitally zoomed in, the quality/graininess will be a lot worse, this is what every tab 7.7 owner will be looking at.

Could anyone guide me to report this directly to Samsung? I'm hoping its fixed before official ICS!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
bump, anyone else having the same issues with their camera just give a feedback here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] biopsin:

Also the text is cut off in settings when in landscape.. geez
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mgleed:
I have the same issue. Tried using a video recorder app off the market and it would digital zoom 720p and 480p so that wasn't any help.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 4G
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
yeap great feedback

please guys, I am sure this is a worldwide problem for every sgt 7.7 out there,

the default factory setting on the camera is broken

need some experts on this issue and if there's a possible fix :(

Anyone running XXLC3 rom from mars? Since im still on XXLA4, but i have deodexed XXLC3 rom, so later these evening i'll test the latest camera to see how far this bug goes..

anyone with the new official ICS rom be able to test the camera out to see if they resolved this problem in a stealth fix?

my tab's with mum so I can't try it

I will forever be in your debt :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kishd:
Just installed open Austria ICS and the bug is still there :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haksam:
wow that sucks ! I dont have the sgt 7.7 with me but this is too serious to be overlooked

:(

i guess based on the amount of responses in this thread most of the tab owners never really cared about 720p video recording :(

this is my FINAL samsung android product... I feel that they have dropped the ball this time, their pinnacle being SGS 2 and I will always remember the younger days when samsung was focused on something good,

now they are just releasing products like different branded cereal without even tasting them first.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
someone explained this one to me before since I hate the 'zoom' effect of the screen as well, but as per his explanation, this could be due to the camera pixel, we have a 3.2 on board camera, using it in 3.2mpxl snapper makes use of the whole image sensor pixel array. using the 720P video on the other hand will use only a portion of that array and the software automatically fill the screen. I don't have an explanation regarding the full screen, un-zoomed 480P though,

I dont find this as a problem but if we can just have this adjusted (zoom in and out) it would be much better
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] brontetab:
Sammy juat stopped caring about their tabs. Gs3 is making sales targets. Thats good enough for them. Too bad! 7 inch market is super competative. If they dont act fast they will lose just like blackbery and their underdeveloped playbok
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] littletime:
I am so angry I'm considering ditching Samsung. ICS finally arrived in the UK via Kies a couple of days ago. I didn't have this issue with Honeycomb but now with ICS my P6800 video camera, when in HD mode displays a zoomed image. The only reason I;m not ditching it right now is because of the SuperAMOLED screen - the same reason I paid silly money for it when I could have gotten a Nexus.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
I have done some recherching and found out this is not a bug! Many devices have this. I'll try to explain what happens:

If you record videos in HD, your device has to downscale the video to show it to you on display while at the same time saving it in HD resolution and keeping the promised frame rate. This needs too much processing power, framerate would just drop. So they use a little trick: If you don't downscale the preview but only show a small part of what the sensor gets you save alot of processing power. But on the other hand it gives you the noticed "zoomed-in" look, also the image quality is less because it does not use the whole sensor (like it would on a still).

The saved video should look normal (not zoomed-in).

Hope my english is not too bad so you can understand what I mean :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Josvaz:

Standard poor copy-paste response from Samsung, which appear not to acknowledge that the device isn't a telephone:

Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the following assistance.

I’m sorry you are having issues with your device after upgrading the firmware. I can understand your frustration about this.

Old systems settings can be left on the phone after an update occurs, which is why we usually recommend a full factory reset after updating. If this isn’t done your device may begin to give false readings from system resources, or experience technical problems, which may explain the issue you are having.

We would advise on doing the following, which is designed to reset the settings on your device. Please back up your device using Samsung KIES before you do this.

1) Remove the battery for at least 40 minutes, put the battery back in and allow it to fully discharge. Afterwards, perform a full battery charge with the device turned off. Do not interrupt the charging process.

2) After the battery is fully charged, we would like you to perform a full factory reset, which can be done via Settings > Backup > Reset.

This process will reset your device, remove old system files that are no longer needed and enable your device to operate normally again.

Please let us know if your device continues to experience problems after the reset so we can investigate further.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.

Kind regards

I must respectfully disagree. If that were the case then the behaviour should have been the same prior to the ICS update. Also, when copying the video off the device and playing it back on a FullHD capable device the quality is still poor.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archer2009:
Am I correct in thinking that people with a Galaxy Note will get an over the air upgrade depending on their phone company?

I live in the UK and I won a Galaxy Note about 3 weeks ago in a competition where Samsung were giving away SIM Free Unlocked Phones. I'm using the phone but just on WiFi.

Will I get an ICS upgrade or do I have to do it myself manually somehow?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
It depends on the CSC of the phone, *#1234# will tell you what this is.

Alternatively you could just download the rom manually and flash it yourself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxxy:
You probably have the international version. Meaning that the ICS update has nothing to do with carriers or SIM. Your phone gets the update according to what country the phone origin from. When that happends depends, like RavenY2K3 stated on the CSC.

But yes, the WiFi connection should be enough to recive the update
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
I also forgot to mention that for the software update check to work you need a Samsung account, if you go to

Confirmed as OEM dock

I got one too. Verizon gave it to me for $15. It is the OEM dock in a Verizon box. FYI - It won't output audio from the G-Nex, but I assume that is because stock ICS doesn't support USB audio host well and the GS3 and this is one of the features of the GS3 that I'm most looking forward to.

Ive seen that audiogalaxy is a good app and ive been using googlemusic with good results.

I dont want to take up all my data with music however. Are there any that do not use data? (i know that using wifi will eliminate data on google music)

Ive also read that googlemusic caches your music so that if you play it once it saves it and the data is only used one time, is this true?

Just trying to be fair to my family once we get off of VZWs unlimited data plans. any input welcome and encouraged!

Streaming requires a network connection. Unless you are streaming from your local network over wi-fi.

Either way all non-local streaming apps require data/internet.

So buying a 64GB SD card is your best bet.
