[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt236:
OK, I just ordered a keyboard dock and I'll have a look. I'll post a dmesg output and open it to see if the PCB is marked in any way.

According to the pinout (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9925838) there seems to be no other way for data to flow apart from USB.

So one of the following must (should) be true:

1. Samsung is reusing the pins for a proprietary protocol -probably reconfiguring the device by pulling up or down other pins.

2. The device is capable of host/OTG mode but it is probably unpowered and it probably needs a pin pull-up/pull-down to enable.

3. The keyboard is using unidentified pins, and the USB pins are used simply for the PC connection and power.

Does anyone know if the keyboard acts as a proper dock? i.e. when you connect it to the pc does it work at the same time as (say) KIES or drive mount?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt236:
Just a quick update, the keyboard was just shipped, and I should have it by Tuesday.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck3ml:
Hi,

Just wondering whether you got any further with this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt236:
There was a problem with my order (the company didn't have any in stock) and the keyboard hasn't arrived yet. Still waiting!

I'll post the moment it arrives.

EDIT: Normally I would name and shame the company, but they are sending me a couple of freebies for their mistake so I'm happy :)

USB host

This is a good concept. I have an Archos 70 and a Galaxy tab. Archos has a micro usb port with which I connected my USB host adapter and the key board and mouse works . Flash drive and router dongle says more power required. So I am looking for a powered USB connector for this.

Unfortunately, Galaxy tab has different cable and I dont know if I can find a host cable for this. Any suggestion?

Worth a shot?

After reading this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9925838

I checked the G-Tab pinout :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI

and tried to ground pin 13 to put the tab in host mode last night... needless to say since I'm typing this on my computer... epic fail. However, I'm curious if anyone else has had any success with this.

I'm not too much of a fan of buying something to destroy... but if I have to disassemble a dock to get the pinout for monitor mode... suck!

Anyone have any advice as to what I jacked up here?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resin8me:
Do you think I should try pin 4?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt236:
@resin8me

Be careful. It's doesn't seem to be a true PDMI connector pin-wise.

Why are you all concerned about making bloody custom cable...

The problem is we need system code to have usb host not cable engeneering ffs...

As far as cable goes you can use the galaxy tab data usb cable connected ------> female to female usb----> usb storage stick
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lardman:
I had a quick look at modifying the kernel code to enable USB OTG host mode without the appropriate cable, but got distracted by other more important issues like getting touch working (Meego)

It's certainly doable, probably best done by exposing a switch in the sysfs, but working out the exact sequence of events in the rather messy selection code is not for the feint-hearted.

I'm waiting for the new kernel code (i.e. Gingerbread) to be released, then will get back to it and see what can be done about OTG host mode. I also bought a couple of spare cables so am planning a dip switch style octopus cable that can support any of the cable output/input modes, need to get my soldering iron warmed up ;)

Just noticed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does indeed have a USB port adapter coming out for it.. reckon we'll be able to use it on the current 7..?

Currently have CM7 on my Tab not sure if it will tie into the USB storage but the kernel is Samsung's so if there is any kernel stuff required it'll be in there somewhere.

Interesting, its just a leaked OTA but not a ROM?
[Droid 2 Android Development] jj702561:
sadly thats all, the guys on the DX side of things are saying they get all the blur back with it... but its a great source for all the stuff like swype for those of us using epic... but i do believe its already deodexed
[Droid 2 Android Development] goliathvt:
Yeah it's deodexed. You can open the zip (not extract it) and rename the blur and bloat replacing .apk with .bak so that when you install the update.zip through recovery, all of the bloat stays gone (or at least renamed). Don't extract the file, just open it in WinRAR and rename/delete any files you don't want so that the archive signing stays in tact.

I'm still against deleting anything given how many pieces of the Blur crap seem to be required to keep things running nicely so I always like having the originals on hand, just a rename away, if the poop hits the fan for some reason.

Edit: Noticed my camera is no longer accessible after trying this update. Ah well... restored a backup 'til that's fixed.

Edit 2: Camera works fine in 2.3.15. I had to format /System to get it to work, though. Just a heads up for anyone having a similar issue.
[Off-topic] duffy1807:
quick question, (after a long debate with my brother) I say it does, he says it doesnt.... who is correct???

A Laptop that is wifi enabled WILL always be able to connect to a wifi a-p regardless of its encyption as long as the software using the wifi supports it WEP,WPA,WPA2 ect.. ??

Or a Laptop that is wifi enabled WILL NOT always be able to connect to a wifi a-p with certain encyption it depends on whether the hardware supports it or not..

In my eyes, wifi technology uses 802.11 IEEE (which we know can connect to WPA) theirfore it WILL support WPA it just depends on the software that is being used to connect to the a-p.

who is correct ??

thanks guys
[Off-topic] Chainfire:
Quick answer: it can in theory be done completely in the software (driver level), but hardware usually helps in practise :)
[Off-topic] watcher64:
In most cases it is a combination of Firmware/Drivers/Software, some cards just do not have the driver or firmware level to allow the OS to connect with WPA.

I have several PCMCIA wireless cards that will not connect to WPA at all, but then again driver dev stopped for these cards like 8 years ago.

So as chainfire said, in theory yes, but in practice it just depends on how "new" and "supported" it is ...

As early as this month doesn't sound too concrete or confirmed to me. They haven't even pushed the 2.1 update with gps fix. I hope I'm wrong though.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
As far as I know, this is coming from a Samsung tech employee in Finland, and is only stated for the international Galaxy S. I wouldn't expect this by the end of the month for our US Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Digital_Warrior:
T's Response

I called T today to find out about the GPS fix that was leaked to come out today. I was transferred to T's Android Rep who stated that the GPS Fix is to be included in 2.2 and that he did not have a time for the release. He could not even speculate on the time frame for a release but that it was in the works and coming soon. I would not expect the update till late November but before Christmas. It could be pushed back even farther if there is any chance of there being some issues with the update to 2.2 The last thing Sam and T want is bad PR it would be a loss of sales and loss of customers. I believe they are going to test the crap out of the 2.2 update which will be nice to have a great stock rom.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
Stop with your speculation. If Samsung waited till November, no one in these forums would still have a Vibrant. Every other phone to come out in the last few months has been updated to froyo (Droid X will be out soon, but has seen many leaked versions). Waiting till November would be a deathwish for Samsung. By then, Gingerbread might be out then the whole process would start over again.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:

I would still keep my phone no matter when the updates come out. It happens when it happens. No one can make it happen any earler. So every one needs to chill.

you know what. im kinda tired of seeing these threads. I think Sammy And Tmo are gonna take there sweet ass time with this. Seeing as they alreay have your money from when you bought the phone ($400 full price, $200 New 2 yrs contract, or a penny if you got on the amazon ****) they dont really have to care. They provided a phone that worked. that was that. they dont have to update it. if they wanted to they could be like yeaaaaa **** it. and there is nothing we could do but cry and build our own roms for it.

Tmo has us real good tho. they get you for the monthly and if you ditch them before 2 yrs is up hey guess what your shelling out another 200 bucks for nuking the contract LOL. its all about money. theres rumours left and right about when its gonna get 2.2 - if it does it does if it dont it dont. not much we can do

[Vibrant General] KerryG:
I went through all the Vibrant Facebook Pages and found the one mentioning Froyo and there is no way in hell that is a Samsung managed page.

a) They bag on the Captivate - Samsung wouldn't do that

b) July 14th - Said "I just played with one" - Why would Samsung say that?

c) "Their review" links to http://thetechninja.wordpress.com/ - Why would Samsung do a review of their own phone?

So, rumor squashed, there is absolutely no basis for believing anything posted to that page. The OP here should not have said its the official Vibrant page when it clearly isnt.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jsp254:
I know everyone says killing tasks is nearly as evil as killing baby seals. I don't know exactly why, but have faith that it is just simply wrong.

One question is this... is cache cleaning evil as well? Here's why. Sometimes my UI becomes sluggish. I run cache cleaner and it seems to move along a little faster. For a while. It could be a tainted sense of reality, but it seems like the phone becomes addicted to the cleaning and requires it more often. Sometimes the results of the cleaning vary greatly. The cleaning could result in as much as 9MB cleaned or as little as 200kb. Sometimes it says cache already cleaned. Never the less, the UI moves more fluid right afterwards.

For a while, each ROM I tried worked well for a few days. Then I would start getting crappy things happening. Like calls not showing till the 3-5th ring. Sometimes it would just black screen and not show anything until the call had already gone to voicemail. Sometimes the browser would shut down at the most inopportune times. IE - middle of a website update yet to be saved, or mid-stride of a pr0n flick. j/k... kinda.. Or during an app update in the market.

Anyway, I thought maybe it had to do with my never leaving a ROM on my phone for longer than a few days before trying another flavor. I unrooted and started back over. Tried htcclays fasttest and superD. Both did well. Tried CM6 again. So far so good. Been running it now for almost a week. No serious problems yet. A couple of browser FC's when viewing a link from a twitter post, but never when directly accessing the browser.

Long story wrapped up... since unrooting and starting over, it doesn't seem to have as many sluggish periods. When it does slug, a cache cleaning speeds it back up. These have usually been 5-9MB cleaned. So far I haven noticed a more often need for cleaning as I had before.

Is cache cleaning via the CC app a bad thing? Is this a common thing? Should a G1 be unrooted often to get the cobbwebs out? Does anyone with a higher end device run into these problems? Any idea why a 200kb cleaning would produce the same results as a 9mb cleaning?

And before anyone cracks on me for driving a 2008 G1, I'm holding out for the G2.... so kiss my brown-eye!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Indoor fix will always be difficult to impossible. Nothing out of ordinary.

For quick outdoor fix - do you have data connectivity? Or you're not using 3G data? If not - that's the reason for a long fix time.

If you do have cellular data, try going into your APN settings and changing your primary one so that the APN type says:

Cyanogen 6 definitely has a GPS issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2090

While AGPS settings improve the performance, something is still wrong. I remember stock Froyo to be a 5-20x times faster at getting a GPS lock (I've had cases with a clear blue sky where it's taken 120 seconds to get a GPS fix, before it was a max of maybe 10 seconds).

Also I notice that with GPS Status, I see 1, 2, then 3, 4 satellites show up, then they all disappear... and it starts again, until it gets around 7-8 satellites and gets a lock with 32m accuracy and then the precision slowly increases...

I wish someone could tell me 1) what change Cyanogen has implemented that causes this behavior 2) how to revert back to the old GPS code.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Strange. Your experience doesn't match mine. CM6 here on an AWS Nexus One, with the newer radio. I can get a lock in seconds on GPS Status.

ever since my switch to cyanogen i have had same problem
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmdsdf:
Cmstlist, turn off your data (3G and wifi) and try getting a lock with GPS Status so you can see the progress. I'm running the Rogers/AT&T version, and this bug drives me crazy. I'm running the 9/20/2010 nightly, but even RC3 had this bug.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Well if you remove access to aGPS, of course you'll take longer to get a lock.

My guess: stock N1 gets a faster lock because it has a supplementary cache of offline GPS info supplied by gpsonextra. The urls for gpsonextra appear in /etc/gps.conf in CM6 but I'm betting it doesn't function properly on an AOSP firmware. Can anyone prove my instinct right or wrong?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I've checked on Enomther's build I'm running, which is also AOSP ROM. The most significant correlation of GPS lock time I've noticed was only with data connectivity rates. I've used GPS Status, and it took ~5-10 seconds to lock both in the open near my house and on the moving train at 150km/h in a significantly changed location, with the only thing being common - there was good 3G reception in both areas. Both times it locked in 2 "batches", 3 satellites being locked in the 1st one, and another 5-6 in the 2nd one. The first "batch" is probably strong satellite signals that were locked after Almanach download almost immediately, and the other "batch" might have been post- Ephemeris download. Either that or it has gpsonextra functional - but in any case, the lock is super-fast when the data rates are good.

On the other hand, the data registered on Traffic Info is only 40k download and 20k upload - even on GPRS it won't take long. But the base station needs to support aGPS - that's also something to consider.
[G1 General] darkpaniel:
A while ago, a tiny screw came loose inside my G1. I'm assuming it's a screw from the sliding mechanism, because now the mechanism feels very flimsy. I foresee this only getting worse. Fortunately, I've got the insurance that tmobile offers.. but I was wondering what phone I would receive if in the event I needed a replacement phone.

The G1 is nearly 2 years old now.. and I get the feeling that tmobile no longer has replacement G1's available. Has anyone else with the insurance received a replacement anytime recently? If so, did you receive the G1? or a different phone.
