Finally got my Square reader

Although it doesn't work.

I downloaded the latest app from the Market so it gets updated and downloaded when I switch roms. I'm using CM6.1. The Program starts up and detects the reader inserted, although when I touch or swivel or look at the reader the wrong way, it vibrates... and on the main screen it says, "Please Swipe Again"

Looks like it kinda goes in and out. The headset icon in the taskbar is steady.

I haven't once gotten it to read my card. I don't know if the reader is bad or if my headset jack is flaky? This is my second N1 due to my first headphone jack freaking out and always thinking it was in headset mode (making calling difficult). This one seems fine. It switches back and forth out of headset mode.

I do have a weird problem with the headset jack in my car keeps freaking out just like this but it is a cheap cable. I just blamed it on the cable being poorly designed. Maybe I have another funky headset jack.

[UPDATE]

I think its my phone :(

My neighbor has a N1 and it works perfectly. I finally got mine to read if I kinda wrap my finger around it and push it forward so it gets a good connection. I also have mine tilted slightly. Once I find the right angle/grip, I can swipe it flawlessly.

I guess I'll be giving Google a call.

Today i accidentally found square in the market and it installed!

I changed nothing... Did they just release an update?
[Nexus One Accessories] garfnodie:
As a matter of fact, they did. Hope it works for you then.
[Nexus One Accessories] luvit:
This is looking good.. I've been pretty busy and haven't taken time to order the swiper until last night.. I hope I get two.

Need the APK

I have a Novo 7 Paladin that I have updated to Android 4.0.3 but I still have very limited access to Google Play. I'm really hoping that someone can extract and post the Square apk. Links to the market just don't cut it for my poor little Chinese tablet. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks!
[Nexus One Accessories] CharlieSummers:
Not sure it works properly with ICS...the SquareUp.com website suggests it has issues with Honeycomb, although they just released a new version on the Market.

For reasons I don't want to get into, my tablet doesn't have a Google account, and I'd really like to keep it that way, so no Market access. If anyone has a copy of v2.2.7 (current as of March 9, I think) and could make it available, that would be great...my device is supposed to be here tomorrow or Tuesday, and I'd like to test it out.

(Usually, I pull free apps with a rooted AVD and transfer the APK via sdcard, but naturally the emulated device can't see the SquareUp app...)

Edit: Thought maybe I could use the AppBrain Fast Web Install to pull it, but even Play Store app tells me it's "not compatable," just like the SquareUp app. So if anyone knows of the 3.0 version of Fast Web Install APK available, please post a pointer and I'll try that to pull the SquareUp app.

(*sigh*) Wish it wasn't so d*mned difficult not to provide all of your information to everyone for marketing purposes...
[Nexus One Accessories] thedarlington:
heres one that works (just tried it), but its an older version 1.5 so u might have to look for a newer one soon, well it wont let me post it but if u still want just replace the dots n it should work i also cant get into the android store, if i can ill post a better version soon

[Nexus One Accessories] CharlieSummers:
Much thanks for the post!

That version will run, but won't connect to Square's servers to process scanned CCs. I've been able to find up to version 2.2 APK on the web, but apparently Square changed things so that _only_ their most recent version (2.2.7 according to APK-search websites) will properly process a scanned CC. Haven't tested manually-input numbers, but there's a pretty big difference in the processing fees for scanned vs. input. For manual inputs, might as well just use the much-hated PayPal.

Edit: Trying everything I can think of short of buying a sacrificial tablet, and can't get the APK. Can't anyone with SquareUp installed on a rooted device pull the APK from /system/app and post it somewhere?
[Nexus One Accessories] RADRaze2KX:
just got mine ... testing on evo3d, failed my first two dozen swipes...

their website says:

EVO 3D	If you encounter any issues, follow these steps:

1) Open the Square Card Reader app

2) Insert the card reader

3) Tap the home button

4) Adjust the phone volume up/down

5) Tap the Square icon to open Square again.

So I tried that... didn't help... so I removed the reader, closed the app, opened it again, and inserted the reader fast-and-furious... now it's working ... :confused:

PSA: AT&T doesn't charge you for OTA firmware updates -- Engadget Mobile

So it says that they wont charge us for downloading OTA update, but... my log says otherwise. ( the 13k kb ones are the OTA update download btw )

How come it ate up my data usage?

I previously had approximately 85-89mb of data usage for the month, but after attempting to download the OTA update quite a few times ( I was frustrated since it keeps telling me that update failed ), it showed up on my data usage log. Now AT&T tells me that I've used 159mb/200mb so far, and I even got a text this morning saying I've used 65% of my data usage for the month. ( I'm on the 200mb data plan )

What the heck is going on??? what if there's an OTA update in the future that are three digit long. If I go over my limit, I would have to pay extra $15.00 for another 200mb of data. @_@
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
I went over my limit but if you call them they will credit your bill for the data used. It's still a hassle though. I think at&t is still new to the Android phones and the need for updates.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Shouldn't be foreign to em though. My wife has done quite a few updates with her iphones.

From a phone on an app
[Captivate General] Roxy:
Someone from android forum told me this:

Wow, that rep is a jerk!
[Captivate General] mikewong27:
I got charged 6 times on my account. I tried the OTA update 6 times and failed each time. so now I have 72 MB charged to my data plan... either Engadget got their story wrong, or both Engadget and AT&T are both lying...
[Captivate General] emuneee:
iOS updates are all through iTunes right? This cuts AT&T out of the picture all together.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Correct. iPhones do not use OTA for firmware updates. You have to use iTune to download the firmware then update the phone. WP7 will be the same.
[Fascinate Android Development] wasupwithuman:
If you gps isnt accurate, or takes forever to lock on, or is just not working

goto

settings--->Location & security---> uncheck vzw location services

try to use Standalone GPS services by itself, if not use Standalone and Google. just make sure the vzw one is off.

I tested with some people and it worked for them too.
[Fascinate Android Development] Exodus885:
WoW.... it really works... Just confirmed it myself. I am rooted, I did NOT do lagfix and updated to DI01
[Fascinate Android Development] 09lexus:
confirmed worked. it took 2 sec and was almost 100% accurate. with all 3 checked it was hit and miss and when it did find me it wasnt accurate and it took anywhere from 3-5 min to find me and it was usually about 1-2 football fields away,, still on old software, no update for me yet and no root

nice find
[Fascinate Android Development] Kristoferallen:
I have had that unchecked since the phone came out and still had problems. If there was any fix it was from the update.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayqued:
unchecked... no difference, lock time is still measured around 1-2 mins.
[Fascinate Android Development] boristheblade:
didn't work for me...
[Fascinate Android Development] ballaholyk84:
Worked great for me. I was getting fed up waiting on the damn thing to lock onto me while I was driving and needed to find a place quick and directions. Thanks for the heads up.
[Fascinate Android Development] wasupwithuman:
wasnt the update, because i had the update and my gps was sucking...

try to use Standalone GPS services by itself, if not use Standalone and Google. just make sure the vzw one is off.
[Fascinate Android Development] sangwich:
I checked all 3 after reading about it somewhere then my gps started working with no problem with google maps and I live in nyc.

I think the result varies.
[Fascinate Android Development] bomber889:
downloading and running gps status also fixes it. it worked for me
[Fascinate Android Development] glemery007:
My "VZW" was never checked.

Checked, unchecked, rebooted,ect....GPS Still hosed

Thanks though!
[Fascinate Android Development] wasupwithuman:
Take it in to verizon and show them... They will give you a new phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayqued:
So are you guys getting GPS locks in a matter of seconds all the time, even after reboot? Mine takes a few minutes all the time to get a lock, or else is very inaccurate. If I wait for the lock I get accurate to within feet, and it'll stay that way.
[Fascinate Android Development] Boushh:
Well, I thought that worked for me until I rebooted my phone to see if it really worked. No dice.

From what I understand (and I could be wrong) essentially what you are doing is turning off the cell phone triangulation that google/verizon provide and sticking with just the straight GPS unit. I don't necessary see why turning off the "rough location" would effect the warm up time of the GPS unit, but maybe it actually does.

Just didn't work on mine after my GPS unit was cold.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayqued:
Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or software?

Browsing multiple forums brings up slews of the same complaints, but no one has put forth any kind of solution, nor has Samsung.
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
I have all location services enabled, and I get locks virtually instantly almost all the time, and it's always accurate to within probably a few feet. Maybe I'm just lucky?
[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
I'd hate to say it, but I fear it is hardware, seeing as I have yet to have a lock take more than 10 seconds, usually 4 or less.

This is really the first time I've been on the good side of a widespread issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
Yeah all of these "fixes" are merely temporary. All they are doing in storing the satelite info so they ock faster. If you reboot and turn off GPS for more than a few minutes it will start all over again. I will be paying VZW a visit tomorrow to see what they will do about since it seems not all phones are affected by this.

And I use my GPS a lot. The other day I was trying to find backway home and my GPS was so far off by the time it locked I was already stuck in traffic, had it locked normally, I would have been home free, my Droid1 would have never done this to me!!
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
I've only had issues with getting a lock after the GPS hasn't been used for a while. Lately, I've been wondering if some people who don't have issues have some type of app installed that periodically queries GPS? For example, I just installed the Asurion app that is supposed to check my location every hour. I haven't fully tested it yet, but now I'm wondering if this will keep GPS on frequently enough to the point where it won't have to re-start with the delay.

BTW... in early testing (when I first got the phone), I would wait to get a lock (maybe a minute), then after I got a lock I rebooted the phone and I still got an instant lock. So, once a lock is obtained, it seems like it keeps it for a while - even after a reboot. The main times I've had issues have been in the morning after the phone has been charging all night while asleep.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayqued:
Yeah, I have a fascinate and so does my girlfriend. Locks both take minutes at the very least.

If this is hardware or if anyone has some legit theories, I'd like to know before my 30 days is up so I can de-root mine and exchange them both for phones that actually get a lock in a decent amount of time.

Just wanted to make a thread for anyone who is interested in/has questions about flashing the new JPK firmware to their Bell Galaxy phones. If anyone is a little skeptical about trying it, it can be done. Right now I'm running a "rooted, lagfixed, non-screwed-up-850-band" phone.

EDIT: To those who have any questions, please read this post. This should clear up a lot of things.

how do u keep 3g 850 band, it only comes up as 1900 on rogers, and 850 is disable in band selection debug menu, are u using any of those custom jpk rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Does jpk modem still have fido as roaming like the other froyo modems. Original bell modem knows fido uses rogers towers without reporting as roaming.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
i'm thinking about flashing it.... did you have any issues with the imei number... like the bug that was in JPH?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dawen:
i didnt have any issue with JPK or JPH, im just not getting wcdma 850 band
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
I'm no expert when it comes to troubleshooting with this stuff, but I will say that I used both the CSC and the Modem files from JH2, and combined it with the JPK PDA. I think I remember reading somewhere that an incorrect CSC file would cause us to lose the 850 band. I flashed a CSC file that was extracted from the JH2 firmware.

EDIT: If you guys need it, I can probably upload it for you. I got it from somewhere on these forums. Have a look.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] timahawk:
This thread is a great idea. I will be following very closely. I have not yet hacked my Bell i9000 as I was waiting for fix for 3 button recovery. I am using the device with Telus so basically don't really have a warranty so didn't wanna mess anything up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
RyanZA just updated his APK to 2.1.1. Works fine but you can't root it through the app. Have to do it a different way.

EDIT: Also, heads up guys... I went and installed a bunch of apps and everything seemed to be working fine, but within a minute of switching my default launcher to Launcher Pro my phone crashed and bricked, wouldn't even go to the boot animation afterward. Luckily this 3BR fix is working the way it should. I did a factory wipe and now I'm back to normal. I advise you guys to stay away from Launcher Pro for now. Hopefully it was an isolated incident, but I'll check again tomorrow. Getting tired now.

EDIT 2: After the factory wipe I installed Launcherpro right away. Works fine. Sorry to misinform anyone. I'll try to answer any questions that may be left behind first thing in the morning.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
flashed with the files provided in the How To thread, now i get can't make calls or get data. APN isnt connected. HELP...lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
i read that the csc also contains gps settings, and if the jpk rom has improved the gps issue, wouldn't flashing with a csc of jh2 possibly negate the improvement? wouldn't it be better to use the jpk csc and just manually enter the apn info?

arr0ww, did you use the jh2 csc/modem files or the jpk ones? check to see if your apn settings are blank. i did that before, and just had to re-enter them, and it was fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dwathey:
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought the CSC also held the information for enabling and disabling certain bands on your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
I used the JPK ones, what are the settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] umar.ranjha:
I have Flashed JPK today and so far its working great.Tried Lagfix after root but it's keep telling me that Phone /system is readonly.

Tried Voodoo Lagfix and it screwed up everything, Reflashed JPK and everything bak to normal. The only thing you guys might have to do is Re-enter APN settings.

I can tell by looking at the*#*#4636#*#* that phoe indeed running on GSM 850 band.

You need to use 803 Pit and Re-Partiton option when flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
Got it working, added the APN settings and rebooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
soooooooooo, what is the general consensus here? 512 or 803 pit, repartition or no, jpk or jh2 csc/modem ?

from the other jpk thread, seemed 512 pit and no repartition was the popular way to go?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] umar.ranjha:
i would say either or.

I have tried both and either way you have to do Factory reset and i don't see the purpose using 512 pit as some says it use different size of partitions.

Also with ODIN 1.3 803 works better for some odd reason's.

Definately JPK as JH2 getting lots of Force closes. One thing you guys have to keep it in mind and i have seen lots of people complaining about that after falshing these BETA firmwares.

If for some reason you want to roll back to 2.1 Firmware, MArket will not work properly. I have to switch back to one of the Froyo Firmware in able to Download from te Market.

I would like to know if anyone has a successfull root for JPK? Really need LAGFIX running.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cloudrainstar:
From what I can tell, the CSC files for Bell contains:

Bell Applications, sales/product code, and Bell APN/A-GPS/Internet/MMS settings.

Flashing just the CSC won't help much with the 850mhz band, but flashing both the Phone/Modem and CSC from UGJH2 _will_ fix it. However, flashing CSC will definitely factory reset your phone.

So if you're on the UGJH2 Phone/CSC, you can flash _just_ the PDA file for XXJPK with 512/513 pit and NO re-partition, and still retain all your applications. Although if you start getting a lot of force closes on those applications you might want to factory reset your phone anyways just to fix that problem. EDIT: You'll actually lose the CSC, so you'll need to flash CSC after you do a recovery downgrade anyways. Also, solipsism is correct. You don't need a pit file if you're not checking re-partition.

If you're on a different Modem/CSC firmware and you want to flash to XXJPK, it might be easier to flash the Modem/CSC of your current firmware to UGJH2 first, then flash just the PDA file for XXJPK, since the new recovery won't allow you to update to the CSC. You can however downgrade the recovery first to apply the UGJH2 CSC.

There is also a chance that you can retain your 850mhz even if you used the XXJPK Modem/CSC. You won't lose your IMEI, but this way your product code will be changed. You can fix your product code with the CSC trick from "xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787163", however if you're not on the JH2 modem, this will make you _lose_ the 850mhz band for sure.

Modem and CSC files for UGJH2:

Rooting, Recovery downgrading:

Follow the instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790686 under HOWTO ROOT JPK FIRMWARE.

Lagfix:

Use RyanZA's OneClickLagFix version 2.1.1 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784691 or you'll get errors on XXJPK with older versions. You must have rooted your phone first, the OneClickLagFix won't root a Froyo phone. Some people have also reported that if you used a 803 PIT this won't work.

Market Fix:

At the time of writing, protected apps didn't show up when I installed XXJPK, but protected apps work on JPH, so all you need to do is download the SGS Tools, edit the /system/build.prop file with that app, and change the XXJPK to XXJPH in the one single line under ro.build.fingerpint. You can then clear the cache on your market app, then use the code *#*#2432546#*#, and wait for the "checkin successful" notification, then reboot, and hopefully your market will show protected apps again. (The app I use to test for protected apps is Desktop Visualizer)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
If I go into servicemode it shows me that i'm on 1900 band 2 and sometimes 850 band 5.. so it looks like it is working.. and I did not use the JH2 Files just the JPK files..

and if you go into Band Selection 850 is listed.. *#2263# and i'm set to automatic so it should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hatdrawn:
Hey,

So I went ahead and the JPK update, using JPK for CSC and all and 512.

I had to manually enter the APN settings off the Bell site but other than that everything seems great. Made some test calls, text messages and data tests. EDIT: Also GPS works good too, fast.

Using SGS tools I get WCDMA as 1900 Band 2 most of the time with 850 Band 5 occasionally.

So from what I'm reading, I'm good right? Everything should be a-okay?

Other than it saying my phone is an i9000 as apposed to an i9000m. Is that a big deal?

I was trying to use the [HOWTO] Change CSC (sale&product code) in any ROM to any country [2.1 or 2.2] tutorial but I wasn't able to get past step 1. I could not copy BMC folder to the /csc/ folder using Android Mate or ADB shell.

Any advice/tips are appreciated as you can see I'm a pretty big noob.

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cloudrainstar:
Like I mentioned above, if you change the CSC using that method while on XXJPK modem, you'll most likely lose 850mhz. But! If you want to give it a shot anyways:

adb push path_to_your_bmc_folder /sdcard/BMC/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox mv /sdcard/BMC/ /system/csc/BMC/
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

Then your phone should allow you to install the BMC CSC file. Remember, this will also do a factory reset on your phone too!

If you do lose 850mhz after that, you can just flash the UGJH2 modem file (by using odin, selecting your pit and JH2 modem file for "Phone", leaving PDA and CSC empty) and then use

adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

To install the JH2 CSC, and you should have 850mhz back.

Very informative post Cloudrainstar. I'm gonna toss this into the OP as a quote so people don't have to read through countless pages to find this stuff out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hatdrawn:
Gotcha. I understand better now what you meant.

Currently it seems I do have 850, so what would be the benefit to going through thoes CSC steps?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] solipsism:
Just because you have 850 selected doesn't mean its working.

This coming from a bell user who has used about 11 different firmwares between 2.1 and 2.2

Getting any of the jpx fws to work is no big deal. Its keeping them stable after a few days use is.

I would not recommend using 513.pit either. And pouting a pit file into odin and then not selecting re partition is the same as not selecting apit file.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rmanaudio:
So which Pit file do you recommend?

And will it wipe everything away including the kernal so that the Voodoo i have installed is gone?
