I just got back from carphone warehouse here in sheffield and they got stock in today, so hopefully you'll see them soon wherever you are.

I stopped by in the Vodafone store and they said that they will have stock tomorrow (thats where I'll be shopping as I have a vodafone signal booster) so it'd seem that 'right now' is when its supposed to be happening. Not that you'd know... No-one seems to want to make a fuss *sigh*.

If anyone gets their tab today or tomorrow (before me) can they confirm that the Tab has the full phone functionality in it ?

All the contracts seem to offer just a data line, which is ... fine... i guess... Since I'm just going to trade my Galaxy S sim card into it, but I need to know that I'll be able to get texts and use the phone. Otherwise I'm going to be a seriously pissed off panda bear.

So yeah... an open call to UK guys getting a Tab... Trade your smartphones SIM into it and check that it'll make/recieve calls and texts.

If they've disabled the phone aspect, I swear to god I'm going to embark on an urban terror campaign... Or just ***** on the internet. Either way. I want a Tab cuz its a phone not just a dataline. I want a phone replacement, not a small iPad.

[/rage]

Edit -

While I was in carphone warehouse, they said they are tossing in a 16gb card with their Tabs (not sure if its just them or general thing) and I know that they are offering some other cool free stuff which I saw on the guys screen, but he didn't go back over it so I don't know what it is. Anyways, good luck.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I think the phone capabilities is a UK only thing, so youre in luck :D unless theyve changed things :| then ill also be a pissed off panda bear :p

I guess at first itll be shipped to major cities, then sent out to smaller ones later in the week. :(

Reguarding the 16gb sd, did they say if that was if you purchased/pre ordered there and then? The people in Norwich didnt even know you could preorder it! Must have been living under a bloody rock for the past month.

Im getting a T-Mo 30 day sim contract for unlimited data and 100 mins & texts. Have my Desire for another 1 1/2 years so I should probably make the most of my contract :p

Ill be so angry if i get an email later telling me its arrived at the store :mad:

[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
Me too. Went into my local store as they never answer the phone. Not had any delivery yet today. They say their delivery is usually after 3 and sometimes just as they are closing. They took my number and said they will call me when they have their delivery. We'll see. Customer service on the phone is useless. They know nothing. And still no email saying it's on the way to the store. :(
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
I don't know about the SD card thing. The guy said they are doing it for all the Tabs, and implied that you only get whats in the box, so it would seem that its included with every unit, but I couldn't swear to it.

The phone thing is kinda weird. We've been told for ages that we'll have the capability, but no-one is selling it as a phone. Like NO-ONE. They're pushing the video calling thing, but thats a data thing, not an actual 'phone' thing. Without ANY phone stuff on the contract, I don't even know if a contract will give me a phone number or anything. I'm particularly pissed because I was assuming that it would drop on contracts similar to smartphone contracts, but everyone is pushing ~£500 with pointlessly expencive data-only contracts. I saw one that was £20 a month for 2 years and still £450 up front! REDICULOUS! I already have an unlimited data contract and wifi practically everywhere I am for any length of time except public transport. I just cannot understand what the hell they are doing with this pricing... Totally ignoring the only thing that makes the Tab better than the competition. RAAAAAAAGE
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
CPW have finally updated the Tab page:

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/laptop-redirect/samsung-galaxy-tab?intcmp=hp-hp-hero-4-v1-1134

£530 with no contract or £530 with some crap Vodafone contract. Wooooo! [/sarcasm]

Anyway, reguarding the phone capabilities. Most/all screenshots of the Euro/UK tabs have either a Phone or Contacts shortcut on the homescreen. But it is strange that companies arent making a big deal about being able to make calls. :/

Urgh. This is straight up bull****.

Also, why the hell is the carphone warehouse price for a vodafone tab HIGHER than the vodafone price ? I thought the point of going there was cuz they got stuff cheaper than straight from the network.

The vodafone prices are £499 + whatever contract. Its not much of a difference, but im seriously not happy that they want full list price on a contract. What the ****?

Has anyone seen ANY decent subsidies in the UK ? Isn't the german one going for like 100e + 17.50e a month ? See thats what I'm talking about.

Edit -

O2 want £600 btw. So thank god for small mercies.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Exactly. Full tab price and a £20 contract (?) shows how much they think about their plans. People in the Vodafone shop actually knew what a Tab was too!

If only we followed suit with the Germans. Their plans make sense. Where as ours are a bloody shamble.

Emailed CPW about when they think theyll actually have the tab and surprise surprise, no response. :mad:

[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
That really sucks. Hope you get it sorted soon.

There's two things here that both combined I'm pissed about (more so as the day wears on). Firstly, I'm going to have to pay for the whole device up front. Second, I'm not going to have a spare service plan to kick around. If I were getting a decent subsidy OR a nice mins/txts/data bundle then I'd be cool.

Now I always knew that this wasn't going to be a cheap device, but I don't think anywhere else in the world is being hit as hard as us on the upfront price. Even the ****ing yanks who pay through the nose for every other mobile device are being told that $600 or £375 is full retail price. What the hell is that ?
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Maybe/hopefully T-Mo & Voda will realise how high everywhere is charging compared to the rest of the world and knock it down. A lot.

If not, then T-Mo sim only deals are the best imho. 100 mins & texts and unlimited data for £10 or upgrade to 300 (i believe) for £15. I dont want to be tied to another overpriced contract tbh. :/

But, the Tab is £530 new, my Desire was priced at £500 brand new. I sure as hell would have paid the extra £30 :D

CPW are a real shambles these days. I eventually got an email saying mine had been shipped to the store today and giving me a DHL tracking number. Great! Only problem is that the tracking number shows it was already delivered to Sheffield in November LAST YEAR! Phoned them AGAIN and it still hadn't been shipped yet. They promised me it was being shipped today for delivery to my London store tomorrow. Of course, I could have just gone to Oxford Street today and picked one up!

By the way, the CPW website shows definitely it is a phone as the 3 contracts include minutes. Also, seems CPW supply it with a 16gb card.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
My galaxy S was about £500 too, but I sure as hell didn't pay that upfront. In fact I won't have paid the original price until next summer.

That's kinda my point.

The kinda contracts we get on regular smart phones are a nice way to spread the cost of a really expensive device over a much longer time frame. From my point of view there is simply no point in getting a tab with any kind of contract, which aggravates me.

Normally they are real happy to sign you onto a contract, but here there is genuinely no point. I mean £30 quid off when you sign up for 2 years ? For something I won't even use *shakes head*.

Up until now I was just going to spread the cost out and have a spare contract sim for family/friends/whatever. Now, I'm not getting the SIM nor spreading the cost.
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
I went for the £30 saving with their one month rolling 1gb data contract, including 1 month free. So I may cancel after a month or two and I will still have saved. Also, having bought through Quidco, I should be getting cashback as well. Looks like it could even be £40 as that's what's been tracked by Quidco.
[Galaxy Tab General] tscotsman:
i was all set for this since im due for an upgrade from my 3gs but to my horror no minutes on any contracts, the 24 month contract has 100 minutes but thats it. Not really enough, 300 would have been fine.

Think im gonna get a Archos again and look at other tablets next year. Will probably stick with the 3GS. Unless of course some more options are given, you would think that one of the networks would allow you to use it as a phone. But oh no!!
[Galaxy Tab General] qazzi76:
Yea - Got mine from Car Phone Warehouse - Last one in stock but we are definitely getting shafted over this...

I payed 299 with a 24 month contract as I needed a 3G card anyway for a dongle.

Vodafone want Minimum £424 up front...

I am an early adopter and have waited for this device for a couple months but I would advise that people wait for a further 2 weeks or so when the prices come down as the networks are clearly playing silly £$"$£$ with this.

All contracts car phone offered had no minutes I couldn't believe it...

Better and better! Got a new DHL number last night. Checking it this morning and it says its held at the depot because of an INCOMPLETE ADDRESS! And this was for collection from a CPW store. Couldn't even get their own address right! :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] yungzee:
Rushed home from work to Cambridge. Tried to go to PCWorld/Curry's but they weren't open. Called CPW. Their machine said they were open until 8. I walked to the mall and they were closed. It was only 5:30. Why does everything close at 5:30 here? Do businesses not like making money from people who work during the day? Lol. BTW I'm a "yank" working on an RAF base.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Well, everyone in the UK has tea and crumpets at 6 so it gives us time to get home in time :p

GOOD NEWS THOIGH! Just got 2 emails; one saying they'll contact me again when my order has been processed and the other saying its been dispatched from their warehouse :D
[Galaxy Tab General] yungzee:
Lucky! Doubt I'll make it home in time to pick one up tonight.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Now im just confused.

Tge email linked me to a DHL tracker website, when I first opened it, the parcel status was delivered (I assume thats deliverede to the store ready for me to pick up) but now the status is Parcel Picked Up :| :confused:

[Galaxy Tab General] Clowneh:
Yeah I got mine at lunchtime on Monday from CPW on Oxford Street. Came with a free 16GB memory card. I ended up going for the £500 deal + £10 monthly contract.

First impressions are that it's just a big phone. It does everything my HD2 loaded with Android 2.2 does, perhaps a little bit less! My tab does seem to like streaming my mp4 files from a http server even though they stream on my phone. Another minor minor quibble is that the Facebook contacts don't sync pictures with my current contacts but I'm not too arsed about that.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
I'm probably going to bite the bullet tomorrow. Am most likely going to just get a sim free one. I am not going to deal with having to cancel anything after 30days or whatever. Its more stress than its worth for like £30 off. I also refuse to have a credit check run on me to make certain that I can afford £10 rolling contract. Its humiliating.

I figure that the free 16gb card is worth it for sure, and that alone means I don't care about the tiny savings for contract bull****, because I was going to have to buy a 16 or 32gb card anyway.

Also, I'm not buying accessories from CPH. Have you seen their prices ? Comedy. They want 30 quid for the case and 80 for the keyboard. EIGHTY QUID!!!! Hilarious. Tbh I'm going to hit up the local phone accessory place for a generic stand/case and internetwebs for a logitech dinovomini keyboard. Almost as expensive for the keyboard, but I can use it with other stuff and its a nice thing to have generally. Hell I can fix my galaxy s to the lid and make a micro-net-top :D.
[Galaxy Tab General] Clowneh:
Nothing wrong with the Swype keyboard other than it doesn't fit the screen :)

Is this possible on hima?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] aeroflyluby:
Yes but it doesn't really work well. Himalaya doesn't have resistive screen, so it's just a hack to detect double touch (not more!).

If you want to observe how it exactly works open Notes and put one finger on the left side and another on right. Now try to move those finders down. You will get one continous line at center of the screen.

Try it :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] flyboyovyick:
Yeah i know. the hima does have a resistive screen, it doen't have a capacitive screen. Otherwise we would have multi touch.

Some android devices based on snapdragon, raise the 1200mhz, HD2 can?

thx
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atticus182:
In theory, sure.

In practice, I don't think it's sustainable. You could modify a kernel and try for yourself! But overclocking your cpu is going to degrade it, and the gain wouldn't be that noticable. Also it would be pretty unstable I suppose!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shure2:
I would encourage you to do a little more research into overclocking. Some kernels allow up to 1190mhz through setCPU and i have played games at this speed - so for real life use that speed has been stable. A thorough benchmark will better test the stability, but only if you raise the voltage will the CPU's life be effected, but if by only a small amount then you will probably upgrade before the CPU is anywhere near giving up. I do agree with the post above that there will be little noticable change in experience, but this will show in benchmarks.

Hi.

I´ve just updated my E10i with 2.1 Nordic

After install I rooted it, and installed Titanium backup, and in my Euphoria I unintentionally deleted "Google talk" (or "Talk" as it is called in 2.1).

Now I can´t DL/install Apps from Marked anymore, I just keep getting this error: The Process "Com.google.process.gapps" is stopped unexpected, try again

And then a "force to close" button.

Is it possible to reinstall Talk, without a complete reinstall of 2.1?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

So after many hours of trying to install a ROM, I finally succeeded but now my touch screen isn't working. These are the steps I took to get the ROM to work

from the recovery screen:

select wipe

select dalvik-cache

select ext partition

go back up a level and select partition

partition the SD card

take the sdcard out and put it in your computer

copy these 2 files from your computer to the root of the sdcard:

http://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip

go back into recovery

select wipe

choose data/factory reset

go back up a level

select flash zip from sdcard

select the DRC83_base_defanged.zip

when that completes do the same thing for the other file:

select flash zip form sdcard

select the update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip

when that finishes, reboot the phone. it may take 5-10 min to get past the green screen.

However when I reset the phone, the touch screen didn't want to work. Any ideas on how to fix this? I can't touch the android to continue using the phone. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all!

I was using a non-sence build (nexus one) and i had the "news and weather" widget of google working good; when i open information on weather it showed me the graph of temperature changing with time; and i could drag time to see temperature at a given time!

Now i am using a non-sence build too (but desire, darkstone hd2froyo), i have the same widget but this time the graph doesn't show me all the hours of the day but only 1 hour interval which is irrelevant; i.e. it shows me when i drag on the graph say from 6 to 7 am while i'm on 3pm!!

Both are version 1.2.02 - RC2!

Did somebody have that too?!

Is there is any fix or new version!?

(i know it's a specific matter but the difference is in the details ;))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gpew:
same problem, droid X

mine worked last week on the DX. not working this week on the DX. Same as you described -- I now get a graph that appears to be a 24 hour span with a slider set at the right of the frame listing the correct time (though it doesn't appear to be correct as it corresponds to the graph). When I touch the slider, it changes to a different hour and slides through that hour over what should be (and appears to be) a day-long graph.

All I can think of that I've done between the time when the graph/slider worked properly and it behaving like this is installing and uninstalling a battery widget and killing some apps.

Let me know if you've seen any changes on your end. It was a great feature when it worked, so now I miss it.
