I found that my Nowada 2450 K5 kia optima 2011 dvd had two boards with two processors one for GPS and one for the radio and usb and dvd and bluetooth.

The program of the gps is working (I can get the navigation screen and the aux screen and the tv screen and they work good).

The dvd program is not working (the radio screen became black although i can hear the sound and i can change the band and the mode from the Steering wheel buttons also the bluetooth screen and the menu screen are white).

Can You help me get the firmware (for the dvd board it had samsung processor ) and how can I flash it and get that screens back please or tell me how to get factory format.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stormy:
Hi,

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" with android 4.0.4 I wish to upgrade to Jelly Bean as per thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881675

However, I cannot access www.hotfile.com nor any of the mentioned ROM downloads for the last week.

Can anyone please advice on an alternate download location ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stormy:
Not to worry.

Doing a reverse lookup and then using the IP directly within the URL allowed me to get to the download.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.moggel:
Hey guys,

after replying to several other threads i decided to make this a thread on it's own.

i tried to root my nexus 7 3G - "nakasig" with the two toolkits. also i tried it manually pushing the root stuff via adb.

when on stock + unlocked bootloader i have normal 3g connection but after the root it just says "no sim card". still i can search for networks but it doesnt let me connect to them. its as if the sim slot would lose its drivers or something. any ideas on that?

I'd be really happy if any of you would help me, im out of options i suppose...

cheers,

mo
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Same problem here. Any news on that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Here is a quick solution to your problem: STOP USING TOOLKITS!

The process is ridiculously simply. By using these automated tools, you're just asking for problems. And when one occurs, you have no idea how to troubleshoot it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the toolkit you used doesn't support the 3G model and probably broke the 3G capabilities.

1) Unlock bootloader if it hasn't already been done.

2) Flash custom recovery of your choice (make sure it's capable of supporting 4.2 multi-user)

3) Put an "su" flashable zip on sdcard.

4) Go into custom recovery and flash it.

5) Reboot

Voila. Done.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
In fact, I didn't use any Toolkit (I want to control everything on my own, and am not afraid of using the console/adb).

Here are the steps, I did:

1. Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)

2. Boot custom recovery (fastboot boot [recovery.img])

3. Mount /system in recovery

4. adb shell -> put su in /system/bin -> put Superuser.apk in /system/app (and chmodded su to 06755, Superuser to 0644)

5. restarted, no 3G available :D

The problematic step could be the second, I used the "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-grouper.img", which is not specially for the N7-3G (called nakasig). Is there a better recovery Image?

I didn't want to flash the recovery, so I just booted into it. Could this be the problem?

Best regards
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
I had issues on my 16GB unit with that version of CWM on 4.1.2. I ended up using the 'beta' version 6.0.1.5 - it''s on XDA somewhere. When I got my N7 3G, I used the latest version of TWRP, and it works great.

But, based on what you are saying, none of that should even matter. In your case, you're not actually flashing a SU zip, you're manually installing it yourself (I did the same thing). So as long as you are able to mount /system and modify it's contents, which you obviously did, that's fine. The only thing I did differently was install su into /system/xbin, but /system/bin should be fine too.

Does 'su' and the SuperUser app work? If so, then that means your modification was successful.

Assuming that's all you did, I can't think of any reason why that would have broken 3G support. Is everything else 100% stock? If you flashed a custom kernel, it probably won't support 3G. The only one that I know of that DOES work is faux123's beta version.

Can you describe your issue a little more? Does the tablet display signal strength but just not get data? I'm assuming you disabled wifi to test, right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Yes, they did. For example, I could install AdAway, which was able to change the hosts-file.

I didn't change anything. Just did the steps I described earlier...

Sure, I disabled WIFI. The signal strength display has all 4 bars (full reception), but no "H" or "3G" is displayed and also the bars are grey and not blue.

The weird thing is, that if I check "Use only 2G-Networks", I get blue bars with "G" and can access the internet...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Hrmmm....

I had the exact same issue (gray bars, no Internet), but it was because I flashed a non-3G compatible kernel. Once I replaced that, it started working properly again. I assume it worked fine prior to rooting, correct?

I still can't think of any reason why adding the su binary and SuperUser application would cause any issues with 3G connectivity. The two things have nothing to do with each other. Especially since you did it manually (which eliminates the possibility of some overzealous flashable zip. Hell, you didn't even flash a custom recovery but booted off it of it from your PC.

Have you tried rebooting since, to see if that cleared things up?

Just for the sake of eliminating them as a variable, why don't you try removing su and superuser.apk and see if that fixes it. I doubt it will, but it's worth a short.

The only other thing I can think of is for you to try reflashing the full 4.2 image (sans userdata) and see if that fixes the problem. Something else might have gotten broken and that should fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Well, actually I don't know, if HSPA worked before rooting, because it was the first thing I did with my new N7 :D

I rebooted a thousand times, toggled Airplane-Mode another thousand times and nothing helped. Now, I have reverted everything completely to stock:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-tilapia-4.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-tilapia-1231_0.10.0_1021.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-nakasig-jop40c.zip

After that i locked the bootloader (oem lock). And guess what? I still can't get HSPA connection :(

I checked the SIM card in my Smartphone (N4 btw) and it worked fine, so it can't be the problem.

Do you think, I have to send my N7 back, because it has a hardware-error?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Since you did that full flash (include the -w which wipes userdata), your N7 is completely back to stock.

There is definitely a possibility of a hardware issue, but before we assume that, there's one other possibility that comes to mind since you said you didn't know if it worked before.

What type of SIM card are you using? Is it the AT&T one that it came with? If so, did you activate it? If you did activate it, did you activate it through the tablet? When you turned off wifi, did it popup with a notification about logging into the AT&T network? If you activated it on the tablet, did you complete the whole process and receive the SMS and email?

And finally, the one thing that comes to mind as the possible problem if you are using that AT&T SIM card and it was activated:

What APN are you using? Mine came with two. The default is the one you use to register the SIM and activate it. The second APN is the normal usage one. After my activation, I was still on the registration APN and had to manually switch to the other one. If that is the case for you, and you are still on the registration APN, that could explain the issue. Try changing it to the other one and see if that fixes it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
No, I'm not at AT&T. Actually, I don't live in the US at all, I'm in Germany.

But I double-checked my APN-Settings and they seem to be set correctly. Also the SIM card is activated, as I'm able to use it in my Smartphone...

I've got one question, though: In the drop-down quick-settings pane, do you have a panel with your carrier name on it?

My Nexus 4 has one, but the Nexus 7 doesn't...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Ah, well that eliminates my possible explanation.

No, I do not see that carrier name in either drop down. However, the carrier name should be on the bottom of the lock screen.

Are you 100% sure that the carrier in question will support the N7? I ask, because apparently people are having issues with T-Mobile SIM cards in the US. They work perfectly fine in a phone and/or other device, but when they put them in the N7 - nothing. Sounds like a similar issue. It seems like T-Mobile is blocking the N7 IMEIs from using standard voice or data packages.

I think the only real way to tell whether it's a hardware issue or not is if you have a friend with an N7 3G that you could try the SIM card in. That, or try buying some cheap prepaid one that you can use for a day or so.

But with what your saying, I'm thinking it very well might be a hardware issue for you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Just to clarify:

- Which carrier is your SIM card from?

- Do you get 3G with that SIM in a smartphone? If so, which smartphone?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
- My SIM is from "O2 - DE" (O2 Germany)

- Yes, I get 3G in a smartphone. It's a Nexus 4.

Well, I'm not really sure, if my carrier blocks Tablets. I asked google, but no one else reported Tablet-blocking in the o2-network. But to be sure, I will test a friend's SIM card from vodafone tomorrow in my N7.

Sadly, I can't test my SIM in another N7-3G, because I don't know anyone who owns one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
So just to be sure, you are using the same APN settings on the N7 that you have in your Nexus 4?

Another thought - I have heard that with some European MVNOs, and even primary carriers that share networks with other providers, sometimes Android considers you to be roaming. Have you tried enabling data roaming just to see?

And when 2G-only is disabled, have you tried going into the mobile networks list to scan and ensure you are connected to the right network?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Yes, I used the correct settings in both devices...

I enabled data roaming, but that also didn't help.

When I tap on the scan-button, it loads a few seconds and then says "Fehler bei der Netzwerksuche" (translated: "error while searching for networks")
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Yeah Android tends to do that a lot. Usually if that happens I toggle airplane mode off and on, and then try the list again. Sometimes it takes ten minutes of trying to finally get a successful scan for networks that lists all the carriers it can see.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Ok, I was now able to get to the carrier list and manually selected the correct one. But that didn't help either.

When the other SIM card, which I will test tomorrow, also doesn't get 3G access, I will send the device back to google and hope, they replace it for me...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Ok, seems like my N7 has a defect. I will call google to ask for a replacement N7...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Glad to hear you finally got confirmation. Based on your troubleshooting, that was looking more and more likely. I'm sure Google will replace it for you properly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
I just called google and they will send me a new N7. And when the new one arrives, I have to put my defect one in the box and send it back. That's very customer-friendly. So I can use the N7 (without 3G) until I get the new one :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrTonyToca:
Now I know we can draw on a picture in the gallery through photo editor and thats fine for a simple drawing, but photo editor lacks the ability to grab a specific color from the picture and match it, aka the lil color dropper icon, but in S Note it is available so after you insert an image and try drawing on it a lil while it keeps selecting the picture to be resized and its soooooo annoying because you can only do about 1 second of drawing until it happens again. Im not sure if any one else noticed this, but is there a way we can draw on a picture in S Note, and be able to grab a color from the pic and draw on it with out the picture turning blue and being highlighted to be resized? Its pretty frustrating....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
SketchBookPro

I have not really played with S-Note so much and did not realise that it had a colour picker. Thanks I will try it and get back to you if. Solve your problem. Until then you should try SketchBookPro it cost, but is awesome.

Update: I just imported a picture to S-Note then swapped to the pen tool - pressed the pen tool icon to get the colour menu- pressed the colour picker icon- chose a colour from the picture - closed the colour picker and started drawing. The blu resize box did not appear!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrTonyToca:
You are the BEST! lol I never thought to IMPORT the pic to S note, I always just inserted it, so you have definitely solved that problem! :laugh: :highfive: :fingers-crossed: :victory:

Unfortunately I can't login to order or check it out, that portion of their site has been down all day! Is this a repeat of the nexus 4 debacle? Are all of ya'll crashing their servers?

Anyway, late last night/early this AM, I was logged in, and my upgrades available weren't showing the cheap/free prices. I was still showing the GSIII for $150. I wonder if this is due to my account, it's a loyalty unlimited family plan they offered us a few years ago. Note that all lines on the account are eligible for upgrades (I'm actually still using my G1 as my daily driver!), so what gives? Is this for new accounts only? Lame. Guess I better call support and find out, but I'm kinda pissed if it's for new accounts only. I was going to add a line, and get 3 free GSIII's, presently a $450 option for me, even with plan renewal. So much for free, unless anybody knows something I'm missing? It says it's a web only deal, so I should be able to upgrade online, right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] briand805:
can't log in wtf is that about.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rushfunn:
I tried online and couldn't got through so visited store, they do have the phone but it costs changing the unlimited plan which for individual is ~$95/pm in classic plan and ~$85/pm in the value plan. Untill you receive the rebate, you pay the offered price and then you can change the plan.

I'm paying $65 with unlimited web (Even More) on myTouch 4g, and $20-30 a month seems too much to me.

I'll wait on Black Friday to see if I get something chipper somewhere ...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] billwinkle:
Be forewarned. I just got back from my local T-Mobile store. Yesterday and all month I was told I was eligible for early upgrade. And today I am not. I was told yesterday to wait until today to upgrade because the phone would be free. This sucks. They are trying to get it corrected. Maybe it has to do with thier site being down. I hope so. Otherwise I am going to take my 10 years of loyalty and go elsewhere when my contract is done.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Off topic,

But anyone know of a major retail store having the nexus 7 for dirt cheap on black Friday (he reminded me of black Friday lol ) pm me if you know anything to keep the thread clean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k8108:
I went to the Tmo store today and walked out with my new S III. I have a family plan with 5 lines. My line was up for renewal. I had to switch to the value plans (I was still using a My Faves plan) but ended up saving quite a bit on my monthly bill.

This deal is not Web only - the deal wouldn't show up for me, either when I tried to upgrade on the 'net.

If you have a line up for renewal, you can get one of the free phones (you do have to pay full price up front and rebate comes in the mail)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swan3983:
Well, just as a warning for everyone, it is most certainly not free, even with the rebate. It will still cost at least $200 in the end. Basically, you pay $200, and you'll eventually get the rebate back for it. However, they're adding an extra $20 per month for the first 20 months to cover the discount... which will end up costing $200.

So, yeah... I'm not sure if anyone else had that same issue, but that's what the salespeople at my local T-Mobile store did to me. I needed the upgrade anyways, as my old HTC G2 is starting to show its age, but this is silly, just charge me $200 and be done with it, calling it free and still shelling out $200 in the end is not what was advertised.

Costco also has a promotion today and tomorrow with $150 MIR (required Unlimited Talk/Text Classic plan + Unlimited 4G data plan)

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/costco-gets-in-on-the-two-day-samsung-sale-fun/

I'm eligible for upgrade and having Unlimited Talk/Text Classic plan + Unlimited 4G data plan. I walked into a T-mobile store today and they gave me the price $299.99 for the phone (with $300 MIR) + $37.50 tax + $18 Activation fee = $355.49

Compare to what Costco offers:

$179.99 (with $150 MIR) + 11.25 tax + $0.00 activation free + free shipping + free GS3 accessory = $191.24

I think i'll go with Costco. lower upfront + cheaper after the rebate
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rapatelrocky:
If you have corporate or student discount options - check on the advantage pricing - I got $175 + $50 MIR for each of my GS3s (ordered three - signed up for new plan).

At the time costco had it for $149.99 each online. Note I ordered mine 2 weeks ago.

It's free after mail in rebate.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] verboten:
@swan3983 What is up with your math. $20 x 20 months is 400. And where are they adding this $20 a month. Now where in my paperwork says anything about an additional $20 a month for 20 months.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theminigame:
Pretty sure the $20 a month is a value plan thing, doesn't apply to you if you're on a classic plan.. I'm almost positive..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jhun80:
Yes, you'll end up paying addistional $20 for 20x - thats $400!!! And they said its a value plan they gave me the 69.99 unlimited everything which is the cheapest plan! Im returning this tomorrow, its not worth it. I hope I can get all my money back, coz accdg to the gs3 box, if returned they charge you 50 $ re stocking fee!

Heres my receipt: (remove *)

h**ttp://oi48.tinypic.com/1zvtvzs.jpg
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dafish69:
Why are they charging you so much for the phone? Are you not not eligible for a upgrade at this time?

The GS3 is suppose to be $299.99 minus $300 rebate with a classic plan or

$199 minus $200 rebate with a unlimited value plan.

Here's a link to the article

http://http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/t-mobile-announces-two-day-samsung-sale-for-november-16th-17th/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] faceless:
the Value plan isn't subsidized and has 20 payments of $20 (or $15 on some cheaper phones) applied to your bill to pay for the device.

the Classic plan is subsidized, but costs around $20 more... so at > 20 months, the Value Plan is cheaper by $20/mo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
On value plans the upgrade fee ($199) Is only your "down payment", then they add $20/month to pay for the rest. So it's still a "better" deal since you'd be getting your down payment back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bugler:
mytmobile has been down all day again. Went into the store, and they said they couldn't renew my loyalty plan and give the rebate. BOO. But the rep tried to call corporate and see if they could do it, they wouldn't. BOO! The best the in store could come up with was a new plan for about $35 a month more. BOO!!

At the advice of the in store rep, I called up the 800 number directly, sweet talked them, and ended up with just a $10/mo increase, but got a free month of service to almost offset that, and actually a little more data but I didn't really need that upgraded. Other than the upgrade/activation fees and taxes, I'm out about $60 over the next 2 years for a new GSIII and a Relay for my 2nd line. Cool enough for me. Yay! Unfortunately they couldn't let me pick up the phone in the store, so I have to wait for shipping. Oh well.

Overall I have to say that I read a lot of complaints all over the web about tmo cust service, but both the in store reps and the phone rep were most kind, helpful and patient.

And everyone I spoke to was just as frustrated as me with their IT dept for rolling out a 3 day system upgrade the same day they have a massive sale!
