[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I don't think the reviews I've read have been overly negative but I've only read a handful:

Oddly, I found the review on Engadget to be one of the better ones, even if they only scored it 7/10.

They seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the Tab, which flies in the face somewhat of their general pro-Apple bias. I guess it just proves that some of the Engadget writers are genuinely enthusiastic about tech and not just stuff made in Cupertino.

GSMArena, normally a beacon of decent reviews, seemed to get a bit too hung up on trying to compare it to the iPad whilst avoiding declaring one better than the other. That and criticising the price a lot.

They also mentioned issues like the screen having ghosting issues, which I just couldn't reproduce when I used the Tab.

There was a 'review' on the BBC site by one of their tech bloggers which was beyond pitiful.

It just compared web-browsing and playing videos but was so lacking in any genuine insight or intelligence that I would advise not wasting your time on it.

Then the review on BGR, that one really did annoy me.

The reviewer criticised the pixel density of the Tab compared to smartphones and criticised the screen as too small compared to the iPad whilst conveniently ignoring the iPad's poorer pixel density.

If I was being generous, I'd say the review just didn't 'get' the Tab but it smacked much more of pro-Apple bias IMO.​

So, one good review, one in-depth but indecisive review, one non-review and one advert for the iPad...

However, reading a lot of the comments left on various sites in response to their reviews, I would say there is a definite lack of 'getting' out there.

A lot of people just don't seem to see the appeal or usefulness of the Tab, which is fair enough everyone's entitled to their opinion but like you Dave, I'm not convinced they've actually given the Tab a fair go before reaching that decision.

[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
well, comparing the tab with full fledge tablet will be useless

as i see it, tab is a phone that have tablet capabilities, considering they're still using FroYo which was a phone OS primarily

but when google OS for Tablet is ready in the market, and the tab get it, Ipad will get some rivalry from galaxy tab for sure, as Ipad cant be used as a phone, at all
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I would say that comparison to any other Android tablets or the iPad is far from useless as they're all running similarly-capable OSs.

True, comparison to something running, say, Win7 would be a bit of a waste of time but I fail to see why comparing a 7" Android tablet to a 10" Android tablet would be useless.

And what, if you don't mind me asking, are 'tablet capabilities'?

Sorry for my bad english.

Then my point of view :

The SGT is not the better yes i agree with that.

But for me the point of view is different for everybody. Why ? Because i buy my 'item' because all off my requested features are in my 'item'.

If you havn't yet, look up the review that carrypad has done.
[Galaxy Tab General] snudel:
exactly. and also this flash nonsense always. yes we can do flash. but this is not the killer argument here.

this is a handy tablet with a nice os. thats it. and it can be used as a phone too.

it has a great speaker, which makes conference calls very nice.

widgets with that screen size rocks. gamings is brilliant on the device.

there is no need for comparison to some other device. this one is great.
[Galaxy Tab General] marcopolo007uk:
Most of the reviews I've seen have been positive if not amazing, the Giz article is not an outstanding review or the best piece of journalism I've seen!

My iPad is a lounge device, my SGT is my RoadWarrior device. I wouldn't compare them as they fill 2 very different roles for me.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksimilie:
My phone freezes at times when i open the image gallery.

Just to give more info on the freeze: The phone becomes unresponsive (but if i have music playing, it will continue), after some time, the phone seems to restart, but not in the traditional sense. Like the lock screen will comeback, it will say no service...until it finds service, it will scan the SD cards...but the touch screen will remain completely unresponsive. If i hold the power button, the power off, flight mode and silent mode context menu will appear but i can't do anything because the screen wont response to my touch. The only way i can get it working again is removing the battery, which is annoying.

Is anyone experiencing this issue with the image gallery?

Also, when i send an image to my friend (BB user) it takes like 20 hours before he receives it, this isnt an exaggeration. I sent an image at 3pm, he got it at 8am. This is an issue for me. The image size was less than 200kb.

Im using the rogers stock rom. (Android 2.1), normally i would just use a different gallery, but honestly i really like the one the phone came with. The phone is rooted and i applied OCLF. Other than that, there are no major modifications.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stavs:
same problem, rogers stock 2.1

now that i know i am not the only one with this problem, i think there may be something wrong with the rogers rom itself, and not my phone.

About 10-20% of the time it will just fail to load the gallery and freeze on me forcing a hard restart

Will there be a rooted ota for people who didn't install it or never got it. I rooted my phone and would like the better radio in hopes I will get more cell bars
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
There's already the option to root if you already applied the OTA update or are planning to.
[G2 and Desire Z General] richierich118:
i dont understand what u mean i have perm root without the ota. If i install the ota it will break root. Will i have to go thru the whole process again if i do this? I know on the mytouchslide when they came out with an ota they just rooted it so it wouldnt break the current root
[G2 and Desire Z General] T.P.:
i havent tried perm root yet. however search this site for 'visionary' root, which is all u really need for now. i had visionary root installed along with several root only apps (titanium backup, cachemate, setcpu, several others) and the OTA installed while my phone was rooted with absolutely no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] richierich118:
I installed the ota over the perm root and now I have no superuser permissions. When I try to run visionary it says my phone is already rooted yet I cannot run apps that require root or get the # in termal can anyone help with this
[G2 and Desire Z General] nycjv321:
lol

the "#" denotes root access lol...... (coming from a marginal linux background..)
[G2 and Desire Z General] RainCrow:
Have you tried reapplying s-off?

I am also interested in getting a solution because right before I rooted my phone I started getting ota update notifications for my phone and now I cant upgrade my phone but the notifications continue to persist. So I figure if I can get a rooted update or delete something, I can get rid of notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z General] richierich118:
ok i got it working what i did was do what somesaid in the begining and that was to follow the guide that doesnt use visionary for perm root. I think its call temp to perm root. I always had the s-off just not the perm root. everything is fine now
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
At least you were able to apply the update. I tried doing that and Clockworks Recovery halted it because some signature was verified or something.
[G2 and Desire Z General] richierich118:
I didnt use clockworks recover i used the orginal. It just made me loose root and not s-off so i used the temp-too-perm root to get it back because visionary was saying my phone was already rooted. I believe I was getting this cause i had rooted without the ota the first time. The second time i used the ota.ko Instead of the preota.ko because i used this when i didnt update to the ota on the first run.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
Oh, okay. Thanks for that. I'm currently in the same boat you were in. I applied the OTA and it's reporting S-OFF, Visionary is saying I'm rooted, but certain things aren't working.

In the process of getting it fixed.

EDIT: Went through the same process you did and I'm all good to go. I was able to apply the OTA update after rooting it and then re-rooted it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
so how exactly did you root you perma root your phone again after ota.

i have perma root right now, its pre-ota, i do want to install ota though.. would i have to go back and do the manual perma-root with the "ota" files now instead of the other ones. im just confused and want to clear this up before i do anything stupid. thanks!

From what I've noticed these couple of days with my gamertag and with friends. The phone's last activity is what get's logged to your gamertag, no "Live Online" status. It's like it's considered offline gameplay but still online, oddly enough.

You pretty much summed it up. Hopefully they will come out with an update that will show your online statud on consoles. Im assuming they left it out because it would probably drain your battery

If it's the same thing I'm thinking about, then it's a Touchscreen problem. Happens when the bus which the TS is on gets gets flooded with commands and causes a temporary slow down. At least.. That's how I've come to understand it.

It's a work in-progress but it might never get solved.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
I've noticed this too, mostly if I'm walking outside, turning off the gsensor & auto brightness usually helps,

Try downloading an app called "MySettings" from the market place, there's an option to put an icon in the notification bar to quickly change settings.

Just a possible short term solution till its sorted.

P.s.

This is the wrong section
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidMc0:
I think it depends what keyboard you're using and what settings you have.

E.g. using TouchPal without prediction, my HD2 keyboard is as fast as an iPhone.

Using SwiftKey it's slower, but the prediction is very cool.

Using the Android keyboard it's pretty quick, but not quite iPhone quick.

It's worth trying a few to see what works best for you, but know that by using the right keyboard, it can be as quick as the iPhone.

Ok,

So Ive been scouring the net to find out if there is anyway I can get my device to be recognized. So far I've tried:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, phone goes into storage mode and loads the drivers. although the drivers are not signed so windows refuses to load them, nice microsoft.

Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, ok i've installed usb_modeswitch and setup a bunch of udev rules (attached) and I can get the device to be detected but not recognized ie if I execute

adb devices

I get

List of devices attached
????????????	device

if I try

adb shell

I get dropped right into the user shell on the device. *Nice* score one for linux, but this doesn't do me much good because if I try to bring up the dalvik monitor it refuses to recognize the device grrr bad linux

I've attached my udev rules and a listing from when I tried to start the dalvik monitor, if anybody has some idea how I can get either windows to load the provided drivers or ubuntu to recognize the device I would be eternally greatfull

Thanks

[Vibrant General] Croak:
Just picked up a Telus "Fascinate", not to be confused with the Verizon Fascinate.

It is actually very much like the T-Mobile Vibrant(model number variant an all), not to be confused with the Bell Vibrant. Confused yet? Me too.

So, it's the T959D, four capacitive buttons, no FFC, has a totally black bezel (instead black chrome). The bezel is, well, identical to the bezel on the Verizon Fascinate, probably the same part. Actually makes the phone look really good. I bought this as replacement for my Bell I9000M that had internal SD card failure, and this looks better thanks to that bezel, I never liked the chrome. Do miss the physical home button already, though.

Rest of the phone is pretty much I9000 standard, backplate and all. And of course, it works on 850/1900 UMTS, not the T-Mobile AWS frequencies.

I do fear for the future of this orphan device's firmware. Mine is 2.1, running TLJJ2 baseband and PDA.

No Telus bloatware at ALL on it. Zip, nada, zilch, this is pure Samsung, not even a copy of Avatar. :)

Hi guys,

At the moment i have SSPL.

I want to install HSPL3 - 2.08

but i cant unstall the sspl.

when i try to install hspl, i get error, BAD SPL VERSION

to install my sspl i used the folowing steps :

1. Remove SD (and remove Application Data and Program Files folders from it using SD card reader)

2. Remove HSPL with HSPL2_RUN.exe (flash SPL 1.66.0000 with HSPL2_RUN.exe)

3. PowerOff the phone

4. Boot to bootloader (VolDown+PowerOn) and when it shows "USB" flash stock ROM by running matching RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe (get yours HERE or for Orange UK/FR HERE)

5. Hard Reset (when phone starts booting after step 4, remove the battery, insert it back press VolUp+VolDown and still holding both press PowerOn and follow the instructions)

6. Boot to homescreen.

7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v40 RUU_Signed_0409.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.

8. Hard reset (instructions in step 5)

9. when on homescreen - softreset.

10. Insert SD

Any help?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
you dont have sspl, 'sspl - soft secondary program loader' is a one shot version of 'hspl - hard/hacked secondary program loader'.

You have 'spl - secondary program loader' - stock spl.

If you followed those steps you now have spl 3.03 and so hspl will not work. You must downgrade your phone to an earlier rom/spl version. 1.66 for example. USB will be fine so long as its your correct stock rom, , any version except 3.14.

Hmmmm, I have the 3.14 ROM with 3.03.000 SPL installed.

What I`m trying to do is Install NAND Android. But to do this I need HSPL 2.08.

Tried downloading one of the older stock roms (1.66) and then attemped to flash via SD and through the .exe file directly.

From the .exe file it boots to the tri color screen and then reaches the progress bar screen. However it sticks there and the errors out with a code : 294.

Through the SD method after the phone detects the .nbh file it comes back with a "28002 : Not allow" error message.

Have tried this with varoius types of Mem cards but no luck.

I then tried SSPL with 1.66 as the ROM and i got it to flash the ROM with no problems but the HSPL still sticks at 3.03. And thats expected since SSPL is like a one shot go at flashing a ROM different from your region.

Question : Since this isnt working, will a task 29 help in this case? From what I understand it formats the filesystem that holds the OS. By doing so, will I then be able to flash one of the older Roms so I can install HSPL 2.08?

Any help will be appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netvpn7:
i had similar issues, i used task29 that contains blank .nbh. you must have hspl 2.08 first to run this then install any custom ROM through PC or your branded ROM through SD card it should work or install Android then. i hope this helps.

As long as you flash the CORRECT STOCK ROM, you can upgrade or downgrade.

What you have to do first is find the CORRECT STOCK ROM".

you can't try all countries version, it is dangerous.

Go to htc website and select the country where your hd2 come from, and download the stock rom using your SN.
