So what if someone shipped the product incorrectly? That isn't indicative of the experience of most users with this product. You didn't even put the thing on your phone, how can you sit there with a straight face and comment on the overall quality of the products function if you didn't even use it.

If you had simply asked for another set, I am sure you would be satisfied with this product.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkage2424:
You can't "change the processor number from 6 to 7," because that would do absolutely nothing. It's like taking a .zip file and naming it .jpg. No matter how much you want it to be a jpg image, it's still going to be a zip file. Each new processor has a different hardware structure, and the naming scheme (ex: arm v6, arm v7) simply denotes what hardware it is.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botnryan:
I bought my Eris off of a friend who bought it from Verizon. so im not the original owner. But when i bought it he thought it was broken because it wouldnt turn on but for a sec (long enough to see 3 androids skateboarding for like a half second) and then turn off. Turns out it was just the battery ($20 for the phone, another $18 for batteries, i got a deal :D) but before we realized it was the battery, i went all surgeon on it and took it apart to see if the charge port was loose (the battery wouldnt charge) in the process i ****ed up the track ball and the microphone (still worked, just mic would go in and out, and trackball only scrolls left and right.) Now the microphone has stopped working completely, could i call verizon and say my microphone doesnt work anymore and they replace it? Or would they not do that because im not the original owner/the phone has been taken apart (of course i wouldnt tell them that, but would i have to send them the phone first, thus they discover it had been)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
The warranty is void if the phone has been taken apart (yeah they could tell real easy). Besides, the warranty doesn't transfer if the phone is sold to someone else.

Was this a question or wishful thinking?

a little bit of both, however the piece of black adhesive over the screw on mine said nothing, it was just black plastic with adhesive backing. its alright tho, incidentally after leaving it off for a week, i picked it up to play with it and the microphone works again. so whatever, ill use the wonky thing til it freaks out on me again i suppose, or til i get the droid 2 in white :D

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Hey guys

Need your help here.

Have been desperately searching the forums/net for a cifs.ko for the galaxy tab but i do not think one exists. :(

Have decided to see if i can build one on my own (this will likely crash & burn)

Anyway, i've installed ubuntu in a VM

and pulled the following down

-GT-P1000 source code (from http://opensource.samsung.com)

-toolchains (wget http://www.codesourcery.com/public/...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2)

unpacked the source

unpacked toolchains into /opt/toolchains

ran ./build_kernel.sh <--no errors

cd into source directory

-apt-get install ncurses-dev

make oldconfig

make menuconfig

set M for cifs (under fs -> networking)

exited

make prepare

make M=fs/cifs

and the cifs.ko was created!

upon copying into my tab and trying an insmod cifs.ko

I saw the following in my dmesg

cifs: Unknown symbol slow_work_register_use

cifs: Unknown symbol slow_work_enqueue

I'm guessing i need to make a slow-work.ko or hack the source of the cifs and remove all references of slow-work.

Anyone can advice how for either or better yet, make a cifs.ko for us :D

Thanks!

Hiya,

If you ever get it working, please do share... I know a fair number of people who have the Galaxy Tab including myself who are just waiting for someone bright enough to get samba mounting available so they can play their media files without having to copy directly to the device.

Kinda like the Holy Grail this is... Especially as iPad users are able to stream avi's using Buzz Player HD which is a media player with a built in method of connecting to smb shares from the app. I hate being one-upped by my iPad weilding wife!! Heh.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotohammer:
There are several reasons why you may have missing symbols. One is that the original kernel was compiled with different driver options, so certain symbols are missing when compared to the new kernel/module you compiled. The easy fix is to install the new kernel too.

It could also be that the kernel versions are different, and the source you have is older or newer than the original.

If I have time later I plan on giving it a go myself, compile and install a complete kernel.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.weck:
From another discussion thread on this forum:

-------

You'll need to change kernel/slow-work.c to be compiled as a module which is not very hard:

move kernel/slow-work.c in fs/slow-work/slow-work.c

remove "config SLOW_WORK" from init/Kconfig

create fs/slow-work/Kconfig with config SLOW_WORK as tristate and add it to fs/Kconfig (source fs/slow_work/Kconfig)

create fs/slow-work/Makefile with obj-$(CONFIG_SLOW_WORK) += slow-work.o and add it to fs/Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_SLOW_WORK) += slow-work/

-------

Then, some useful commands:

adb shell

su

insmod slow-work.ko

insmod cifs.ko

lsmod | grep cifs

dmesg

mount -o username=guest -t cifs //IP/SHARE /mnt/cifs

(or CifsManager)

...also add "iocharset=utf8" in CifsManager's options field (non-latin characters support).

I too need to get started with compiling the Tab's sources...when I have time ! :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overridex:
Ok, I compiled cifs.ko and slow_work.ko modules using the SCH-I800 kernel source (which is the Verizon Galaxy Tab model) so I'm not sure they'll work on other tabs, but I figured I'd post them here.

I haven't done much testing yet, but I ran:

busybox insmod slow_work.ko

busybox insmod cifs.ko

mkdir /mnt/cifs

busybox mount -o username=guest //myserver/share /mnt/cifs

It mounted successfully, and I was able to watch a video directly off the mount. It was a little choppy though, I'm not sure if the default video player has any buffering options or if there's one in the market that does.

As far as how I got it to compile, it was very much a hack based on info here. The rough method was:

Built cifs.ko from the steps listed in the first post, with the exception of using the SCH-I800 source instead.

After that:

mkdir fs/slow-work

cp kernel/slow-work.* fs/slow-work/.

added fs/slow-work/Kconfig with the config section copied from init/Kconfig, but with bool changed to 'tristate' and default changed to m.

edited fs/Kconfig and added 'source "fs/slow-work/Kconfig"'

Added fs/slow-work/Makefile containing: "obj-m += slow-work.o"

Added the line "obj-m += slow-work/" to the end of fs/Makefile

I also had to edit fs/slow-work/slow-work.c and removed the round_jiffies calls, they were coming up as unresolved symbols and it's a function in timer.c, wasn't sure if there was a way to pull that into a module.

make M=fs/slow-work

I'll post more as I play around with it, just wanted to get the modules up for people to play with. I should also probably look into using my busybox utilities as the default so I don't have to keep calling busybox to use the correct ones.

CIFS on Sprint device

I'm using the updated Sprint GTab and your precompiled CIFS modules worked very well. It's just now CIFS Manager seems to keep telling me that the mount string isn't valid. I mounted with the mount command from the terminal (wow, this is tedious without a BT keyboard. Need a terminal with editable strings.) and it worked just great.

JK
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.weck:
Well done ! This works on my JK1-flashed Galaxy Tab. :)

Note: I use WifiKeyboard as my input method on the tablet, to ease typing in the Terminal Emulator (or ConnectBot). It works marvelously well ! :D

The "insmod" commands worked perfectly (thanks again for compiling...personally I was stuck at the "libc" ELF headers in my toolchain Mac OS X setup...I will soon install a Linux virtual machine so I can use the default toolchain, which contains all the required "libc" stuff...I regularly compile RockBox on my Mac so I wonder what's wrong with this particular toolchain).

I switched on Samba/SMB/CIFS sharing on my Mac OS X laptop, via the "Sharing" panel in System Preferences.

Once in "su" shell mode, I pre-created the mount point: "mkdir /mnt/cifs". I then experimented various commands, including:

- EDIT - DroidWall configured with a whitelist *prevents* the "mount" command from connecting to the Samba share, despite allowing Terminal Emulator and ConnectBot to connect via wifi...as a result I have to disable DroidWall entirely, which sub-optimal :( Allowing all "root" applications to access wifi in DroidWall doesn't solve the problem: it makes a difference with commands like "ping" but the SMB mount fails to connect over the network...for some reason.

busybox mount -r -t cifs -o "username=MY_USERNAME,password=MY_PASS" //MY_IP/MY_SHARED_FOLDER /mnt/cifs

busybox mount | grep cifs

ls /mnt/cifs

umount /mnt/cifs

busybox mount -r -t cifs -o "username=guest" //MY_IP/MY_SHARED_FOLDER /mnt/cifs

Note that I chose to secure the mounted directory in read-only mode, but of course we could use "-w" instead, providing the file server accepts authenticated or anonymous connections with write credentials.

I still need to test transfer speeds...as this is often the problem with high-quality video. At any rate, I recommend using VLC Player on the server (e.g. laptop containing video/audio assets), and VLC Stream and Connect on the Android device: the live transcoding works really well ! :cool:

CIFSManager

I'm a bit of a noob, actually. I put a double-slash in cifsmanager in front of the name, like you were doing in mount. It's just machine/share and not //machine/share. Makes all the difference, really.

I’m a really beginner user and have a question to the install of cifs.ko .

2)Install busybox from the market on my Tab

3)Run Busybox

4)Write in Busybox

“busybox insmod cifs.ko

mkdir /mnt/cifs”

5)To mount I like to use the Cifs Manager

These 5 steps are correct or I have some errors in it? Where on the Tab I have to copy the file “cifs.ko”? Can I write in Busybox with the virtual keyboard?

Thanks for your help.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
For those of you struggling with commands, an easy way is to just copy the two files to your sdcard. You can put them to /sdcard/Android if you like. Issue the following commands in your terminal app

$su -

#cd /sdcard/Android

#insmod slow-work.ko

You should see no errors

Next pull down CifsManager from the market.

Using CifsManager, specify where the cifs.ko is located. The gui is pretty intuitive. If all goes well, you should be able to watch your shared videos off your tab :)
