I think you should be good with a restore. That is what I did when I got my replacement....the paid apps are attached to your user name so you shouldn't have a problem with them
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
Thank you for the quick reply. So basically I should just get the new phone, root it, install titanium backup, then install my SD card from the old Dinc to the new Dinc and run the backup? That will insall all my old settings, data, and apps?

I'm just looking to make this phone switch as easy and painless as possible. Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wynnded:
I did what you're outlining above without any issues.....Although I've read that the new SLCD phones (Hardware Version 0003) aren't working with ClockWork. I don't know if there's a fix, but be sure to check your Ver prior to rooting so that you're not creating a problem for yourself. You might want to search around to see if there's a fix for the CWM/SLCD devices.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
I told the CSR rep that I wouldn't accept the phone if it arrived and had an SLCD screen. He assured me that this one did have an AMOLED screen though. If it arrives and isn't AMOLED I will just purchase a new front speaker off ebay and replace it on my old phone so this transferring process will then be moot, but if the phone is an AMOLED one when it arrives (fingers crossed) I would then be transferring everything between phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Well maybe not

I am on my DINC # 3 and had transferred a Nandroid from 1->2 and then 2->3. At that time I asked the same question on this board and was advised by Adrynaline (I think) that this is bad, as certain information carries forward, and if they recycle your prior DINC and put it back into operation, you BOTH will have phones which are identified the same.

I am NOT saying that the EIN etc is the same, and I leave that for a proper search of this forum. I am saying that it was said that SOME information carries over, and they they had run a test of using a nandroid on another Dinc and then messed with each other's phone.

I can confirm, however, one truth to this. I installed Shazam on Dinc # 1, and it carried through to Dinc # 2 and Dinc # 3 on the nandroid. When they went to grandfathering prior installs, my Dinc # 3 still had the grandfather. When I read the post, restored the virgin Dinc # 3 nandroid, and reinstalled, I was no longer grandfathered. This means that whatever information was tracked by Shazam to determine your phone did change, on the same hardware, based on a Nandroid restore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Adrynalyne found that the android_id of both phones would be the same. As such, apps can be involunatrily pushed to either phone (using AppBrain, for instance) by either user. In short, it's possible that one could actually end up getting unwated apps on their phone or inadvertntly subsidizing paid apps for someone else..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
So I received the new Dinc and it was an AMOLED screen. I quickly rooted the phone then downloaded Titanium backup. I transfered my memory card to the new phone and ran the backup. It restored EVERY one of my apps and ALL of my system settings and data. I didn't even have to re set up my wallpaper. Everything went smoothly and it's basically the same exact phone as my old phone just with a working speaker! Thanks guys for the help

I want to re-flash the phone back to 100% out of the box stock. I downloaded and installed Odin3 v1.3.
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
Yes, it is hard, but not impossible. If you have a hardware locked phone (Yes, a true hardware locked phone that no matter what combo of tricks you try will not go into download or recovery) and usb debugging is disabled, you can EASILY brick your phone. I know there is now a way to fix hardware locked phones, but if that was not done before bricking, you could be screwed. If your phone is not hardware locked, then yes, it should be next to impossible to brick the phone.
[Vibrant General] mstyle88:
Correct, I am aware I can flash Odin. However I am a Mac and have no PC friends to use their computer. My work computer has restrictions on downloading. In the past, all of my handset exchanges have been replaced by Tmo within the week so I figured why bother. Im pretty busy so I have yet to make it to a Kinko's or public library to try their computers. By no means am I a very savvy Anrdoid user, just rooted my Vibrant when I got it to fix GPS, lag, etc. Going forward, the Vibrant will have 2.2 soon enough and I'll just be satisfied with that.

But for those considering a handset exchange, try everything you can first, becuase you could end up waiting a while!

[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
you have the same problem at my GF's vibrant after update. All you need to do is have odin and samsung setup. download JI6 for odin. open odin load the tar file and then plug in your phone to the usb while holding down the volume buttons and it'll power on in download mode. Once the small box on the upper left corner shows you a com port, you can click on start. If you want to test the download mode, you can test this out by shutting your phone off and then hold down the volume buttons and plug in the usb cable.
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
if you got your phone brand new, I will keep it and send back the replacement because it will be a refurbish one.

If no luck and if you dont feel like waiting for a replacement then tell TMO that you want to swap it for a G2.

They would not do a swap :confused:
[Vibrant General] mstyle88:
Thanks, Ill try to get a hold of a PC sometime this week. Honestly I like the Vibrant over the G2 so if I can keep mine or replace it I would rather do that. But if it takes too long, I'll push them for a G2 replacement.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Hi

Now that we have S-OFF and the ability to flash radio.img's from fastboot, I just wondered what follows the flashing?

What I mean is, when you flash a radio via recovery, it flashes, then you have to reboot the device using the recovery menu, it then reboots, does some more flashing, and then reboots again.

Does the fastboot method do the same? Just for future reference so I don't pull the battery (for example) at the wrong time.

Thanks

Stu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
No just use the standard fastboot flash command and it should flash straight away, thats why recovery has to reboot because it has to flash from the bootloader....

it has equalizer!!! its better than mixzing I think. anyway it still a beta. if u lock the phone, it kinda laggy. another problem is it play all your sound file. e.g. ringtone. there is option to select which file to scan but scan result always zero. hopefully these issue resolved on the final version

Good day, all, this is my first post.

Is there anyway to wake up the screen with other hard buttons instead of the the power button?

Is there any application or setting to change that?

It would be of great help. THX

Um,

I find those front buttons (call, windows, back, deny) rather cool when they are lit and they make the phone look better. Is there a way I can keep their lights lit as long as the screen backlight is on? Like, combining the backlight timer of the screen and the hard buttons.

I have tried searching both the web and here to no avail. I tried random keywords in searching since I don't exactly know what would be the correct one.

Why do people never use the search function? An ACTUAL factsheet can be found here: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_p1000_galaxy_tab-3370.php

Also, it doesn't come with any external memory. You get 2gb internal nand and 16gb internal sd flash.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Well, it IS alittle confusing as the unlocked EURO version have the specs labeled on Samsung's home page different than the US carrier branded models. Leave you to beleive it's 16 internal for app install. Some sites even list it as 16 or 32gb for app install.

US Carrier version (T-Mobile):

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SGH-T849ZKATMB-features

Funny how the T-Mobile specs for memory kinda mirror the UK version. Maybe there is a difference with the way it handles memory for the GSM version compared to the CDMA versions as the Verizon version is simular to the Sprint one in memory specs. Can someone with a Galaxy Tab (UK version) confirmhow much space they have (internal) for app install..?

What is wrong with you people? Lets try this in baby steps...

ALL TABS HAVE TWO KINDS OF *INTERNAL* STORAGE. 2gb of nand and either 16 or 32gb of sd flash.

THEY ALSO HAVE AN SD CARD SLOT THAT SUPPORTS *EXTERNAL* STORAGE OF UP TO 32gb.

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Sure you can. Me, I just like telling people what to think. In an age of Google one would think people would have learned to read. Alas, that is not so.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
I asked a simple question based off fact sheets from the different versions of the tab and wanted to know why it showed a difference as maybe there was a difference in the way it allocated space which I was right as it does and the Sprint one does NOT have the 16GB on-board wheres the Unlocked versions does. The answer I get is from a sarcastic child that thinks he knows everything! Really, I think I am further along in my life than you sir by many many miles.... DEVS, can we get something done here or what?! It's pretty obvious based off the time I've been here vs yours. I've done NOTHING to disrespect you and yet, this is the answer I get... That of a child...
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
Clearly wrong when you read this review on the Sprint version as it has NO 16GB "INTERNAL" memory and depends on the SD card memory as you can see on the Engadget review of the Sprint Galaxy tab here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-review/

Quote from review: "We should mention here that the Galaxy Tab requires you have a micro SD card inserted to use the camera, so it's a good thing Sprint tosses in a 16GB card. Oddly, we couldn't save anything to the 2GB of internal memory or access it when mounted to our Mac or PC. (If you're interested in the European version, our UK review unit has 16GB of internal storage, which is accessible when mounted.)"
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Erm, yeah, thats exactly what he said

"either 16 or 32gb of sd flash"

[Galaxy Tab General] INeedYourHelp:
wtf sprint. I pray the verizon version does not follow this.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
No its not. He said 2 kinds OF INTERNAL STORAGE storage which the unlocked version DOES have. The 2GB internal and the 16 or 32GB internal SD. The US versions for atleast Sprint and Verizon do NOT have this internal sd 16GB or 32GB storage and they only have the 2GB internal and expanadble 16/32GB. I beleive the T-Mobile version will follow the layout of the unlocked ones in tradition of the GSM version vs the CDMA which is without. This is what I was wondering as I saw the specs released for the US versions following the UK and unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Fine, fine. As an Arab terrorist once said of Mr Burns - you are a credit to the great Satan. You're getting shafted by the greatest consumer society in the world with really good tech deals. There's just no mercy for the Connecticut Yankee.

I am from Russia. I am middle class and I don't live in my moms basement. I rent. And still I have enough money to buy upgrades to my desktop, new laptops every year and a half and other shiny things. So why not just buy an unlocked one from another carrier and live it up with the rest of us?

EDIT: Because i love rubbing it in ive decided to use MY OWN RESEARCH POWERS to deliver the following two links. They are not from engadget, or sprint, or whatever. Theyre from samsung usa. Better put your reading glasses on...

Details of all variants for major US carriers

SPRINT Galaxy Tab specs

And, as a final blow let me quote Samsung regarding the memory inside the US galaxy tabs:

"512MB(ROM) + 512MB(RAM) + 128MB(One D-RAM) +

2GB (User Memory) + 16GB microSD™ card preinstalled

(supports up to 32GB microSD card)"

I can only hope this clears up the reasoning behind my repeated posts.

EDIT2: No, wait. That might not be enough. "Preinstalled" means that the sd flash is inside the tab, under the casing, inaccessible through normal means. "supports up to 32GB microSD card" means theres an empty slot you can stick your own card in.

There.
[Galaxy Tab General] Raspster:
No, pre-installed means they give you a 16gb card and there is no pre-installed memory as you see in the review there was no memory to access on the device unless you had a sd card in it. The specs on the unlocked version say 16 or 32gb internal memory. They say nothing about pre-installed memory. Listen, I will be the first to admit I am wrong when the us version is released and if I an wrong, I swear I'll ad a retracton to what I have posted here cause that's the right thing. I only wanted to clear up this and the fact that there actually was 2gb only usuable on the device and got chopped down for asking a few questions about the device. I know theses questions may have been answered but because the US and UK version showed different specs, I wanted to ask again, that's all. Yea, I live in the US. Not in my mothers basement... Both my parents passed on when I was a child which forced me to do everything in my life on my own... I own a house, I have children and I can afford this device with all my bills... Just the facts! I don't agree with many of the decisions the US makes and cant help the fact I was born here but unlike some people, I don't judge others based on where they are from... Not even Russia.

[Galaxy Tab General] dliao:
Ohh, nice.

Not sure if i want another bad carrier tho. Having iPhone on AT&T is already my limit. :/
[Galaxy Tab General] Dareoth:
Which is why it's the only model I'm considering right now. I mean, I was considering Verizon considering the praise given often given it's network... but the lacking space internally is just lame. I'm already with AT&T for my Captivate and I'm just they will overprice to protect the iPad, so I'm not holding out hope for killer plans from them (besides, I already have AT&T coverage, I'd like network diversity from my Tab so I can use whatever network is best). T-Mobile is nationwide, respectable, and very, very fast network. Not killer pricey either. I'm was unsure about them against the Verizon Tab, leaning Verizon, but after reading about the storage there is no question.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Guys, they did the same thing with the Epic and the Verizon Fascinate, both CDMA devices, not GSM/UMTS. There may be some space or other tech issues with the CDMA radio preventing the use of more onboard storage.

The good news is, the Epic and Fascinate don't have RFS lag slowdowns like the 8/16gb Galaxy S versions, maybe the Tab versions won't either.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
The GSM Tab doesn't have "Galaxy S" type lag slowdowns. Perhaps Samsung will reintroduce it for the CDMA variants? ;)
