[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryptyk:
I was looking at expansys and the Galaxy S page...

http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=198627

...shows 3g on 900mhz and 2100mhz. Does this mean that I wouldn't get 3g data on AT&T in the US?

If I'll need to buy an unlocked Captivate instead of the i9000, where can I buy that? Expansys doesn't list the Captivate.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] x3gypxtianx:
The Galaxy S runs on 900/1900/2100 for 3G and AT&T has two bands for 3G which are 850 and 1900. You'll have 3G coverage on AT&T just not as much as you would've had with both bands. The 1900 spectrum has a wider reach, but low building/wall penetration, whereas the 850 is the opposite. At least, that's what I know. I have the Galaxy S and running it on AT&T just fine, with 3G in my area on the 1900 band.

Is their much of a difference, I an its just the back thats white not even the whole thing. I dont get why they would do that instead of going full white, what do you guys think about it.

[EVO 4G General] cloud858rk:
The white back doesn't have the grippiness that the black back has. It just feels like slick plastic. Also, it turns out that black plastic is stronger than white plastic.

I actually bought a white evo from best buy but then put a black battery cover on it because I like the grippy-ness of it. Looks nice. There's a white outline, looks kinda like a zebra. I like it.
[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
The only thing I don't like about the white one is that freaking glossy back. It makes it feel like I am always going to drop the phone! I wish they would have stuck with the material they used on the black, rubbery I believe?

Doesn't really matter as I am using a case now lol.

its a great little device for little cash. i bought one today after i heard. glad i did. was this or the bb chumby. this blows it away
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] richdaley:
Hey Pen --

Have you tried the Kindle app on it? I want an ereader that is bigger than my MT3G and I think one of these would foot the bill if I can find one. My local store only had one and it was on hold for somebody.

I am going to get a rain check today.

until they release the patch which allows the market to work i havent tried it. they should have the patch released by tomorrow

How is the screen?

How do you like the screen and how is its performance in general.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pen25:
over all i like the device. im used to a resistive screen so thats not a problem. doesnt appear to have the auto rotate screen but waiting to hear back from them to find out what the deal is. the manual talks about auto rotating the screen so it should have it. lack of bluetooth is another draw back but i really dont need it. they also have a 2.5mm headphone jack on them instead of a 3.5 like normal but they are addressing that with an adapter i do believe.

power consumption wasnt too bad. i was using the device for 5 hours yesterday and only used a 1/4 reserve from what it said. so i was only down to around 72% charge after playing with it for 5 hours. was reasonably bright enough in a brightly lit room. the angle one can see is pretty good as well.

the microsd card slot isnt in line properly. so if you insert a card you will want to put a price of tape on the end of it so when you release it you can pull it out. i played hell getting the thing to pull out and it was dragging the top of the card so had to use a pair of tweezers to pull it out.

cant access the market yet so havent tried the nook or kindle apps but that will be my next thing. looking at pictures was good. just as good as my digi pic frame.

over all for what i bought it for i do believe it will work a treat. i was going to buy a chumby either the bb or the sony branded chumby and this will work so much better then either of those two devices.

Augen Tablet

Thanks for the info pen.

It surprises me that that it has a 2.5mm jack. I wonder how it ended up with that. You can get an adapter on Amazon or ebay for a buck or two. That would be important for me because I'd like to be able to watch movies on it when I am on the train to work. That is also why I am interested in the Kindle app.

Everything that I have read seems to indicate that it has an accelerometer to rotate the screen.

I get the feeling that Augen underestimated the interest this device was going to generate and put it on the market when it wasn't completely ready, thinking they could dabble a little and fix problems on the fly with the couple of people that bought them. oops.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whisper1980:
My Augen Gentouch78 experience

I just picked up my Augen yesterday at the KMart here in Phoenix (KMart actually called me on my raincheck I had made over the phone! Kudos to them). I like the form factor but am quite disappointed overall. While I don't think it is sluggish in general, the resistive touch screen makes it seem that way. Using your fingernail or an old pda stylus helps considerably in that regard.

Couple of negatives:

1. Market download does not work, as others have pointed out (it just stays in the "Starting Download" phase.

2. Micro SD card is hard to insert/remove (you need to use your fingernail in both cases, and to remove you need to also flick it down a bit to slide out as it seems to catch on the lip of the slot).

3. The device could not "Mount" when connected to my PC via USB. I had better luck when the SD card was not in the device, as I was able to Mount it once then, and saw that I had 1.3GB of free space... even though the device SD card info showed only 246ishMB free... what's up with that? (documentation did say there was 2GB available, so the Mounted drive size was closer).

4. I lost sound twice.. had to power off to get it back (all sounds started coming out as loud white noise). Seems to occur when pressing the top front part of the frame... yup, near where the menu/home/back buttons are.

5. Percentage battery use shows that monitoring cellular network was using 57% of the battery, and suggested turning it off. However, you can't... network settings only have WiFi (I curiously did find a place where it prompted me to turn on Bluetooth, but I don't think it did anything).

6. I wanted to return the unit due to the sound problem, but wanted to clear out my google account info... the factory reset does nothing other than power off the unit, even though that is how they say to clear out all data including the google account data.

7. No auto-rotate. No rotate at all that I can see. Nothing in the setup relating to that, even though the manual says it should be there.

8. Non-US Standard earphone jack

9. No mic or web cam

10. Resistive touch screen makes typing on the on-screen keyboard a PITA. I did get somewhat use to it after a while, but still don't like having to press firmly.

On the positive side:

After manually copying a ripped DVD movie in mp4 format onto my SD card and inserting it into the unit, it played great.

So, first impressions are basically way down there for me.

Some other specs:

- Telechips TCC8900 ARM CPU (on an eval board no-less!)

- Android 2.1 - Update 1

- Build 2010-07-21 (boy did they push these out the door... likely with no testing!!)

Eric
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pen25:
they are pushing an update out should be out tonight or tomorrow to fix a couple of the things. i believe the eval board is not correct as someone has found the chinese version of this and it has been out for a while. i just think the cooking of this device wasnt the best. i am just hoping they push 2.2 out on it pretty quickly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
I also got one today

I can confirm the market is not working for me either.. Yes build date is really new. haha.. I'm trying to get apps installed by emailing myself APK's to Gmail but I need something like APKatcher to do it. So so far I've not installed anything, but going into settings, aplications and manage I was able to kill the running apps and speed it up.

So far it's a cool little device. I also lost sound once and a reboot fixed it. haha (interesting) I watched 20 minutes of avatar and it looks incredible and gets much louder than a cell phone.. My 16GB MicroSD card went in fine.

There's a Stylus if you guys didn't figure that out yet. Makes typing extremely easy.

Anyone know how I can install some APK's?

Rainchecks

I got two rain checks tonight. I want to get one for myself and I know my wife will want one if it is cool.

If anybody really wants one and lives in Eastern PA, they have 4 of them in the Reading PA store. That is a little far for me to drive and I like getting a rain check because I can make sure they are going to put out an update to make the market work.

It seems like the early reviews are mixed at best but c'mon...they are $150. I mean, if I can get my 6 year old to watch a thomas the tank engine video on it for a few minutes of peace each day, I have gotten my money's worth.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n0m0n:
Well I got one yesterday and it is horrible.

I am hoping their support can help me get the screen a bit more responsive.

I mean I have to press on it like I'm trying to push through it.

The manual says there supposed to be a calibrations but there isn't.

The manual says there is an option to allow this to orientate according tot he direction held but theres not.

The manual says that when you charge the device the light should be red in color turning green when fully charged well I charged over night and its still red.

When I turn it on it says 100% battery...

Also I went into market which is like that on my Droid1, Incredible, Droidx... and chose to install a app like dropbox, weatherbug, MyMemo, SlingPlayer and it sis there saying downloading but its not.

I have my wifi connected to the device...

Anyone else with ideas???

I so wanted this to be a iPad alternative!!!

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edogger:
I got one last night... I side loaded a bunch of apps from my Incredible... LauncherPro, Pandora, Quick Settings, Android System Info... Awesome Drop...they all work... The weird thing is some of the apps force the screen to Portrait, but i haven't found an app yet to turn it back.. (aside from rebooting)

I noticed the sound is wonky... sometimes it works...

I also noticed something installed called Dev Tools... It has a terminal, a bunch of dev settings, a package browser, sync tester, and some google tools..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geebake:
I got one today as well. So far, all is not well.

Wifi seems to be an issue. I can connect to my network if I turn off security, but when I enable WEP, this thing just sits here and says 'Obtaining IP Address' and then shows 'Unsuccessful'. I have tons of other devices connected. The problem is not the network.

So, with security off, I played with it a bit. The browser seems to work fine. It defaults to mobile pages and I'd love to turn that off. No Flash as expected.

I also have a problem with sound. When anything produces sound (mp3, video, youtube, even clicking on something) all I get is horrible white noise.

I get constant alerts that things have failed to download. I assume that this is due to the Marketplace issue.

I threw in a micro SD that I had. I have no problems with it sticking as others have reported.

I will admit that this is my first taste of Android. I am a professional developer for other platforms though so I'm not a total knucklehead - just partial.

I hear that an update is imminent. Anyone have any info about this? Will it be done via the SD card? USB?

I REALLY want this to work :)

Greg

Update:

Looks like a reboot fixed a few things now. I am now connected to my secured network and sound is ok. So now I have a more or less functioning tablet.

Patch for GENTOUCH78 Tablet (available 1700EST)

Dear Augen Customers (GEN Nation),

Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.

Just to mention a few technical difficulties we have found and are patching are:

the memory size of 284mb not being shown as 2GB will be corrected as this is a glitch in the software.

Android Market place not being able to download apps will be fixed in this patch, as this is a glitch in the software. As of right now the operating system and pre-loaded applications are using .5 Gb so the available space displayed should be approximately 1.5GB.

To solve the issue with the headphone jack being too small for a 3.5 mm headphone connection, we ask you to send us an email to support@augenus.com with your Name, Adress, eMail Adress along with a proof of purchase. We will be sending you at our expense the 2.5 mm headphones to go along with the unit within 15-20 days. All future products that will be manufactured will have the new patch and a 2.5mm earbud to go along with the unit.

We want to make it a great experience for our customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to make it a great experience at Augen.

Thank you for your support,

Daniel Gofman

Vice President

Augen Electronics Corp.

the screen sucks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yinzara:
I am working on a mobile application that is subject to certain regulatory requirements. Because of this, I'm a required to detect on start-up of my application if there is any possibility that the phone has been rooted. If so, I must completely disable the application and not allow it to start up at all.

I've seen many methods to detect a rooted phone, however none seems very definitive especially if you were trying to hide that you had rooted it.

I do have the ability to store the approved devices (and possibly associated IDs) in some external database and retrieve it at application startup.

Are there any systems properties that can't be "spoofed" with a rooted device or possibly some other method to definitively determine if a device has been rooted that are at least nearly "unhackable"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
As I understand it, the semi-definitive definition of a rooted phone is one with su.exe available. But, this would be very easy to hack.

The closest I can think of would be to calculate the md5sum of files in /system. Perhaps the md5sum of *all* files in /system or the md5sum of the whole filesystem. Then, compare this to a list of known-good values for the OS version and device.

This would require all "official" versions of the OS for *all* supported devices to be pre-calculated and stored somewhere. And further require that the storage of those values couldn't be faked. If they were on the phone, they could be swapped-out by a malicious user.

This could still be hacked, but it would be a whole level of magnitude harder than most approaches.

To be honest, such a requirement sounds like an app who's security needs are high enough that you might not want to allow it to be installed on generic hardware.

Would you have a similar requirement if the app were deployed on Windows? I don't think it's a solvable problem there at all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yinzara:
Actually you're suggestion is probably very sound. Because of the regulatory concerns, we have to know exactly what devices we're supporting and we can store the MD5 sums on a server or actually we could store it inside our application and MD5 sum that as well (that would pretty much ensure they couldn't change it). Even if it was possible to install the app on a new device, we need to make sure it's approved.

Do you have any idea how we could run an MD5 sum on a non-rooted Android device on the /system folder programmatically?

We're not planning on supporting any Windows devices at any point in the near future, so that's not really a concern.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
I haven't had a non-rooted Android phone since a couple days after buying my G1. But, I suspect the md5sum executable is there. Although, for your need, you would need to verify that the md5sum executable itself was unmodified.

You could probably use dd to stream the raw filesystem through md5sum. It's been too long since I played around at that level to give you detailed directions. I'd look into dd and md5sum via google.

Like I said, you'd still need to confirm those two executables were unmodified. Maybe do one of a: bundle your own copy of them or b: implement the md5sum algorithm in your app.

[G1 General] dclaryjr:
I've done a lot of searching and left messages on various forums with no results--hoping someone can help. I have a G1 running CM5.08. I gave the phone to my grandson after I got a Nexus One. I did a reset and activated the phone with my sim card, and then finished the setup using his Google account. Then he put in his sim card. Now he can access the net over Wifi with no problem, but he can get to any of the Google apps including Gmail (to keep his contacts updated) or the app market. Is there something else I have to do to get it to work, or is my grandson SOL without a data plan. Thanks!
[G1 General] answr:
First make sure ur wifi is connected

go into settings then accounts and sync, make sure everything is checked on...

including the Google account itself is green (on) and not gray (off)

press on the google account and check all the boxes (in case they weren't checked off) --- if there not there

Restart the phone,

and try these steps again

remember with wifi on

hope this helps

Thanks but that was a no-go. I just get a sync error on gmail. When I try to access the market. the screen opens and then immediately closes back to the home screen. :(
[G1 General] Royalknight6190:
I just did this with my wifes phone. She got a G1 from her brother but we dont need or want to pay for 2 data plans especially that she is always home so as long as your G1 is rooted here are the steps, oh and by the way this has worked on 1.5, 1.6, 2.1 and now 2.2 she wanted to try each flavor of android before she made up her mind on which one to actually use, and you can do this with his sim card in the G1, so the steps right:

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wipe All

3. Repart SDCard or Repair EXT

4. Flash Rom and Gapps if needed

5. Reboot....Wait

6. Wait...Wait

7. Ok once the Android shows up click the android

8. Skip Tutorial

9. Skip Sign in

10. Accept the settings it offers you

11. Once at Home Screen, Click menu and settings

12. Click Wireless & Networks

13. Turn on Wifi

14. Connect to Wifi network

15. Click Home and open settings again

16. Now go to accounts and sync

17. Add Account and sign in with his information

18. Now you should be golden and he should be set up with a G1 using Wifi.

Also I would recommend that you download the app APNDroid from the marketplace. open it up un-check all the boxes and then click the 3G/Edge/GPRS button at the top. That will shutdown any and all data coming in from Tmobile so there wont be a chance at all that he could possible receive a data signal and get charged. Thats what I did with my wifes and it works beautifully. She loves her G1 and She gets all the benefits of a G1 without having to pay data. If you run into any other issues with this and you need help let me know. just send me a Private message and maybe we can chat through Gtalk while you are doing it.

Hope it works. Also in the above post, which Rom are you using cause it could be an issue with the rom with the market?
