They did verify me within an hour of me sending a photo of a gas bill so I guess thats pretty good. But even after CID unlocking the WM6 upgrade still says INVALID MODEL ID. So you need to follow the instructions here:

What? Are the legally allowed to collect such information?
[HTC Excalibur] hondaguy:
what is rediculous is you expecting someone to spend their time to break the lock so that you can flash your phone to a rom that wasnt originally designed for your phone when you bought it, and to make this solution easily available for you to access, and for them to do it for free. move out of home and join the real world. you should thank them for finding a solution and only charging a modest amount.

if you cant afford to put gas in your car, dont buy one
[HTC Excalibur] athena1973:
I dont think it's rediculous since we got the Hermes free unlocker in this forum months ago already. Guess you would change your thinking when you know more in the forum, at least you will not be so confident as above.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
If you want a free unlocker, then make one yourself. If you don't know how, then don't complain that there isn't a free unlocker :)
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Thats dumb and a waste of effort. The person who figured out the hermes CID unlock could easily apply the same technique to the excalibur -they just don't own one. I'm sure he would have worked with us if we all offered to donate the £20 we gave to imei-check or might have even done it for free had he known the situation with WM6 and CID. I think someone else profitting from our hobby of playing with different ROMs is totally wrong.
[HTC Excalibur] athena1973:
1, It is not me who 'complain' here.

2, I can image all the free applications you are using are purely made by you

3, Pls go through as much information as you can in this great forum before you try to challenge, I am tired to such kind of style.

IMEI-CHECK

I would be careful sending photo ID and other persoan information to a company that cannot protect their company from fraud. How can you ensure that your information will not compromised and used elsewhere.Just my 02. of caution.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
Yeah. I'm a hypocrite!

Problem: HTC Tornado... I wanted to have the screen dim all the time

Solution: I wrote the completely free application, Tornado PowerControl

Problem: HTC Tornado/HTC Excalibur... I wanted to be able to overclock the CPU based on CPU usage

Solution: I added that feature to Tornado PowerControl

Problem: I wanted to convert the old nokia RTTTL ringtones into MIDI format., as well as to other monophonic phones

Solution: I wrote the completely free application Tones4All

http://merwin.bespin.org/t4a

Problem: I wanted to be able to convert said RTTTL ringtones into said formats without downloading any applications

Solution: I wrote the completely free web-application, Tones4All PHP

In conclusion:

Yeah... I do nothing to help the community, or to create solutions myself.
[HTC Excalibur] hondaguy:
well you owe it to every person that likes to install 3rd party software on their phone to write these programs.....lol

we all come to these forums because we like tinkering with our devices and trying different things. i am gratefull to all of the people with techinical knowledge that spend their time extracting roms and writing free programs that i can use. if i had the know-how i would do it to. what pisses me off is the people that think it is their god given right to be able to access this kind of info for free. i cant believe someone actually said that we should donate the money imei-check charges to the guy that wrote the free unlock program for the hermes instead of paying imei-check. either way you are paying for it. most hobbies cost money, whether it be the cost of materials or products (paints, canvas, models, remote controlled devices, etc) that are used while enjoying your hobby.

i am not saying that i wouldnt take advantage of a free solution, i am just saying it is rude to expect and demand one. i have paid for their services twice and it was well worth it both times as i was able to change roms on my qtek 8500 that was missing calls and now i am able to use the wm6 rom on a different device because someone was nice enough to give us access to it. i believe that some things are worth paying for, especially when it allows me to do something or use something that i enjoy. some of you believe that it is wrong to pay someone for their time and expertise and open threads demanding a free product while the rest of use enjoy our different roms. if you stand behind your beliefs i can respect that too, though
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
You said it better than I ever could have! I'm sure that imei-check bricked more than a couple phones making their solutions, and they deserve to be compensated for their hard work :)
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
You misunderstood me. Only the people willing to fund the development pay, once its done the rest get it for free. This is a typical scenario for software development where the creator doesn't directly benefit from the creation of the software (he doesn't own the device in question), but with it comes the recognition of the one who was successful in making it. If the recognition isn't enough then thats when cash gets involved. From the beginning XDA Devs, and SPV Devs for that matter always sought their own implementation of things to further their skills and learn more about our devices and how they work. I don't see anything positive in supporting imei-check.

Heres something for you to read ;)

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html

And like I said, he probably didn't even know there is the need for a CID unlocked for the Excalibur. AND, with your opinion that no-one on this forum should ever ask for anything I don't see how he would ever find out.
[HTC Excalibur] pof:
Eric S. Raymond writes in The Cathedral and the Bazaar: "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch."

So, I will try to cause some itching now:

Excalibur uses Samsung OneNAND chip, itsme developed a tool to access the non-OS sections of the chip, ie: where the CID area is stored.

The simlock data is stored on the first 0x20000 bytes of the gsmsection.

Wouldn't it be easy to dump CID & SimLock area before unlocking, pay for imei-check's unlocker and dump CID & SimLock area after unlocking and then compare?

If everyone unlocking provides this information, someone will come with a solution sooner or later...
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Theres more about that here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285003&highlight=bkondisk

and it being used to unlock the StrTrk:

http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6581

But it doesn't mention how they obtained the decryption key for the StrTrk or how to find it for the Excalibur. Unless I missed that.
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Despite the stuff about decryption I dumped using bkondisk as you said and found my SuperCID (31 31 31 31 31 31 31) at 0x2a0dc

The command I used was:

prun bkondisk -v0 -b0 -n500 \firstblock.img

But that dumped more bytes than you need. Also since the CID among a bunch of other strings so I doubt this is the right place.
[HTC Excalibur] athena1973:
This is exactly what I was thinking. The reason why we come here is for sharing, applications, information etc. So far I don't see any superman can write whatever he needs by himself thus he could proudly shout to others who expect a freeware.

Hi,

I just bought a used wifi 32gb Note 10.1 sm-p600. I've tried a few different programs to test the mic and none will pick up sound(s-note, google voice search, video recording). When I play back recordings and crank up the volume, I hear hissing and thats it. Is there anything i can do/try to get this resolved?

Hello everyone,

I opted away from the Logitech keyboard and picked the Samsung keyboard as I loved the looks of it .. downside .. can't find a case that would be a perfect fit to house the tab and the keyboard nicely ... any recommendations (besides going and buying the logitech or other keyboard/folio combos) will be greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] pinsb:
Same thing but for the 8.4.

I've picked up a leather sleeve for under £5 on E-Bay that was originally for the Ipad Mini that I'm going to try.

I'm also looking out for a BookBook travel journal case that'll take all kinds of stuff.

Ooooh Yuck !!

They should rename that the Anti Theft case.....'cos no-one would want to nick anything in that case!!

Here's the BookBook travel Journal that will take an Ipad Mini and looking at the various photo's I think will take an 8.4 with Kybd and other stuff as well.

http://www.todaysiphone.com/2014/01...amiliar-style-incredible-practicality-review/

Silly price IMHO but used unit cheap could be interesting.

They also seem to do cases for normal Ipads so it may be worth looking to see if there's one that would suit the 10.5?

Thank you for posting this. I recently ordered the Samsung keyboard have been looking for a case. Since you have the keyboard already, do you think if I can find an ultra slim cover for the tablet, will it still work with the keyboard? As much as I like the samsung keyboard, it still leaves the tablet exposed. I would love to have some drop protection.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] kingfiras:
Unfortunately, if you are referring to the book cover or any similar design, then the answer is no. Such can accommodate only the tablet. It is really silly Samsung did not think of making a case to accomodate both if they really want to increase the sales of that keyboard[emoji46] .. anyhow I ordered the Amazon $40 one .. not the prettiest thing in the pics but gotta protect my investment [emoji1] .. will let you guys know once I get it.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] kingfiras:
FYI .. I got today that cady messenger bag .. if we thought it was not that attractive in the pics .. it is 10 times worse in real life .. ugliest thing ever to pair with our gorgeous tab .. shipping it back and the hunt is back on!

I have a similar and has already saved my tablet three times is very useful :D

There's a 2nd hand BookBook travel Journal on E-Bay US site at the moment, item number 301426899546 but he won't post it out of the US.

I had the same problem with my SGTS 10.5 untill I found the Case Logic TS-110. This sleeve cover is a perfect fit for the tablet with keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] cbb77:
Cool. Can you post some pictures of it in use.

Based on your advice i bought the case logic ts110 from ebay for $15 new. Hope it fits perfectly on my s10.5 with samsung kbd. Did anyone find a better deal on this ts110?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] cbb77:
As mentioned, post some picture of the Caselogic when you get it. I have tried the Snugg case I mentioned in my earlier post and it's too small. However I did stumble upon a case I had laying around the house for my wife's iPad. It's an old Verizon case. It fits but is a bit snugg. I am hoping that it loosens up a little more over time. Here are some pictures of it. They also seem to still be available on Amazon for about $4.

]
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] guho:
Attached are some pictures of the case logic TS110 with the Tab S 10.5 with keyboard. The padding is thick enough to be used as a standalone case outside the house for instance. The fit is nearly perfect with no slack on the sides and between 1/4" and 1/2" in the length direction. It has a pocket with zipper for accessories.

Guess what. I also have the Verizon case. Ordered it because it was crazy cheap but never used it. Now I tried it for the Tab S 10.5 w/kbd. As mentioned it is very tight and requires some force to slide it in. Now I am not sure if I will be able to get my tab back out.

In summary for outside the house I recommend the TS110. For inside the house a basic $5 neoprene sleeve might suffice. Or the Verizon one if you can get it to loosen up a bit.

galaxy tab s case and keyboard

hey man yea i bought a kensington universal wireless keyboard and and case (if you get it make sure you get the latest 1) battery lasts for ever on the board which is a mega bonus think ive charged it once since ive had it, as u can see its got a Velcro holder and the rubber corners really are perfect it, fits nice and tight with all tabs hence UNIVERSAL so threes no tablet coming loose at all it also comes with smaller rubber corners for your smaller tablets the key board is also fixed with magnets and it has a very nice feel like a really good solid build with no shaky keys and weighs nothing at all, when you close it you pull over the elasticated fabric to seal it nicely, highly recommend this case and keyboard i think you can get it for around 50£ off amazon, i use it with a galaxy tab s 10.5,, rooted with, cf-autoroot THANK YOU CHAIN FIRE!!!!

I don't have any pictures of this but can try to take some and post tomorrow. It is really nice and great for the price. Will be tight an extremely tight fit at first. I simply stuffed it with some magazines and cardboard to stretch it out a bit. Now it's perfect. Do not think it will fully protect the Tab from a fall, but definitely from dings and scratches while carrying it around. Also looks classy. Available in a few different colors on Amazon. Highly recommend.

I have the shop-leather case without the clasp. The leather is nice, like a very good wallet, but not super fine. Really what I was looking for as far as leather.

On the other hand, I really don't like the TPU phone holder attached to it. I couldn't easily get my phone in and out (a requirement for me). When I can, I'll probably try to replace it (glued) with a Ringke SLIM I have.

I won't use the lanyard, so the holes are useless for me, but not much negative. For now, I'm just using the phone without a cover, but carried in a pouch.

Cast screen option is now available in the notification pull down, but it still doesn't recognize the Chromecast.

ART uses a lot more space for apps, so a microSD card is now a must. Probably why Moto added it.

Sometimes specific apps (like Skype for example) don't seem to use both speakers leaving the sound very quiet.
