[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I've had both an HTC G1 and Motorola Milestone before the DHD and I thought I would miss it a lot. However, the G1 trackball was awful and the Milestone navpad was fiddly to use when I think about how they felt in use. I can honestly say that I don't miss it at all because it's very easy to select boxes with the larger screen and if you need to select a letter or move the cursor to a specific point, eg in a text message, you can tap near to it and then use the small cursor keys. It's a lot less fiddly than the other methods and makes me wonder why it hadn't been done sooner.

If I have one issue with the software keyboard cusor keys it's that only the HTC keyboard seems to offer them. I hope other market keyboards offer them, specifically SwiftKey. The method the default keyboard lets you select text for copy / paste / quick lookup is second only to the iPhone's implementation in my opinion.
[Desire HD General] Maxwell Smart:
I am so not missing the track pad. It was one of the reasons I sent the desire back.

I found that as I was typing a message it was far too easy to graze the pad and end up moving your cursor and hence text input making for some interesting reading. I never did figure out how to disable it.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Nope, the magnifier that appears when holding down on the textbox is far more usable and faster than the trackpad.
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
That's what I love about it but if you have to select or move the cursor to text near the top of the screen you get into all kinds of trouble. You can just about see where it is but it's very difficult, could use a tweak.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Thanks for all the replies ... seems pretty unanimous that the lack of trackpad is not an issue.

My only real concern now is the speaker - I know it's said to be rubbish but can it REALLY be as rubbish as the original Desire? I was trying to watch a clip of a stand up show using Rock Player last night and could barely hear anything over the slight noise going on in the room at the time.

I know there are threads for this, just wondered if anyone here had any quick views in direct comparison to its predecessor.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
original HD? there's only 1 HD and this is it, or you mean original Desire?
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Oops, yes that's what I meant. Thanks, corrected :-)
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Well, having not actually seen the phones that people were complaining about (speaker wise) i cant say with certainty, but i suspect it may have been just a dodgy batch.

My DHD is fine speaker wise, it isnt loud by any means (its louder than my x10 though).

I would like it to be louder, but its not an issue, more of a little niggle, i honestly would worry about it.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I think it really depends on what you are comparing it to. I'm not familiar with the X10 so I wouldn't know how that performs but I do know that my Nokia 5800 knocks spots off ANYTHING I have heard since and the N95 was pretty good too.

The Galaxy S is not as good as the Nokia's but is what I would call passable. The Desire (original) on the other hand is just poor, very poor. I'm really interested to know if the DHD is as bad as the Desire or an improvement which could bring it towards the same league as say the Galaxy S.

I'd be VERY surprised if it's a hardware fault on early models as HTC are not known for either their camera or sound quality when it comes to mobiles.
[Desire HD General] gazpits08:
Not really, just another piece of hardware to break. :-)
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
And just another thread to necro.

Btt: no not rly.
[Desire HD General] elmalote:
It was only useful for recovery in my opinion. It was also for the most part an irritation point, when sliding through the different homescreens or locking the phone using only one hand, it always grazed the trackpad making it either select or swipe homescreen.
[Desire HD General] bigr1979:
I have just come from a standard desire to a hd, i have to admit that i prefered the trackpad for recovery and also trackpad wake and unlock alot better than having to press the power button on top of the HD all the time.

Speaker on the HD is slightly better I would say, but not alot tbh.

Preferred the AMOLED screen on the standard, I find the viewing angles and black levels crap in comparison on the HD.

I do however really like my HD with bigger screen, faster proc, more mem and ram and better camera.
[Desire HD General] shaboobla:
I miss the trackpad for quick text selection, and I preferred to use the button for taking a picture. It was nice to be able to feel for the button when taking the picture. The magnify selector is pretty good for text selection though.

The speaker on the DHD is much better than the original desire, at least in my opinion. If you like your Original Desire, then you will absolutely love your DHD.
[Desire HD General] sbdags:
You do realise you can use home and menu for navigating in recovery and then search to select? :D
[Desire HD General] nnay:
With CyanogenMod you can choose to wake your DHD with the volume button. Very cool !!!

I come from a desire to a HD too and i have exactly the same remarks :D

This is my guide for dummies:

INTRODUCTION: I'm an italian user with a standard Samsung Galaxy Tab purchased via Vodafone. I would like to upgade my firmware from P1000XXJID to P1000XXJK5. I search in XDA and in samfirmware and this is the sequence of my upgrade.

1. You need some software.

a. KIES software (from www.samsungmobile.com): download and install

b. P1000XXJK5.rar (from www.samfirmware.com): download and unzip (use WinRar and password is "samfirmware.com")

c. NEW Odin: DOWNLOAD Version 1.7 (from www.samfirmware.com)

2. unzip New Odin 1.7 and run "Odin3 v1.7.exe"

3. Press the [PIT] button and select the "P1_20100909.pit" file

4. Press the [PDA] button and select the "P1000OXAJK5.tar" (which was in the 'P1000XXJK5.rar' file - see 1.b.)

5. Put a cross-chek on 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' (NOT on 'Re.Partition')

6. Now we are ready to flash our Galaxy Tab:

a. power off the device

b. extract SIM and SD card (if you have one)

c. power on the device pushing 'Volume down' + 'Home' + 'Power button'

d. the device will start in dowloading mode (yellow triangle)

7. Connect your usb cable (if you have correctly installed the KIES software, drivers are ok and device is recognized by the PC)

8. In Odin you must see on the left "0:[COM3]" (yellow background), or something like that

9. Press [START] and wait till has finished (4 minutes); Odin will reset the device itself.

10. After boot check if all is ok using *#1234# code

PS: I have found all my apps, no backup/restore needed ! But this is my case...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
No problem, theres two ways to fix this:

1: Flash the full JJ4 firmware with the P1_20100909 file and check partition

Then let it reboot, and flash JK5 after that without the .pit and partitioning on..

2: just flash the dbdata.tar from the end of this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1

I'd do option #1, I think you need to have JJ4, coming from your older version (pre-JJ4)

This is also for anyone flashing a non-European Tab:

so steps:

3.1 Press the [PDA] button and select the "P1000XWJJ4.tar"

3.2 Put a cross-check on 'Partition', 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time'

3.3 Do steps 6-9

What benefits does this give us in usa? thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] brunino1967:
Hi, in my european Tab I notice a little better 'scroll speed' between home screens (horizontally scroll). It's the only advantage, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion).

Please remember that for 'usa TAB' you have different firmware; consult www.samfirmware.com
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
I ran the update on my tab from the UK, specs beforehand were:

After flashing directly to JK5 it rebooted happily although it basically did a factory reset (formatted the internal SD card - which is a pain as that's where Titanium Backup put its backups)

Firmware specs now are:

It does look like there's a number of missing applications, so I'm going to get the full JJ4 package and flash that and then put JK5 over the top of it.

So while it works and does feel a bit snappier, it's not what I'd call a huge success going straight from JJ3 to JK5 :) I'll get there though.

EDIT: Before I did the flashing, I did a factory reset and the "missing" apps popped up, so while it looks like it's not entirely happy going from JJ3 to JK5, it does appear to work ok.

I'm still going to put JJ4 on there just for the heck of it and then reflash to JK5.

Looks like JJ4 defaults to Russian:

Final Edit:

Nope, no noticable difference having gone from JJ3 to JK5 or JJ4 to JK5, other than having to manually do a factory reset to get everything behaving after having gone from JJ3 to JK5.

Fair warning, I may have done something wrong, but if not, it WIPES your internal user storage when you do the update!

Still, happily on JK5 now, not a big deal to re-transfer my stuff over.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sanderh:
Thank for this thread.

But why would someone not choose to upgrade firmware when Samsung releases it via KIES?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
Because Samsung have a history of not releasing official updates.

Plus, we want new stuff NOW :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dorenthe:
Big thx to you rotohammmmmmmer ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zerocool76:
I suggest to do also the following after the first boot: *#272*your imei# (dial all your imei digits!),then select your original Sales code,in my case for Italy Itv.This allow you to have all the Samsung Apps of your country.

Also the problem with the missing data at boot is because JK5 isn't a full flash.you can also flash the JJ4 with repartition and then JK5 without.

For newbies: Make a Titanium Backup before the 272 code!! (thanks to brunino1967 to remind me, I forgot to mention :) )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] JCB_Digger:
You can change where Titanium sticks it's backups by going to

Preferences/Backup folder name

and change it to

/external_sd/TitaniumBackup

Or if you've got the full version you could have sync'd your backup to Dropbox.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] n-j-f:
I also have JJ3. I think I will follow the suggestion to install JJ4 first with the repartition and then JK5. If I backup all my system data and apps to the external SD card (or Dropbox) using Titanium Backup, is it OK to restore the system data as well after the upgrade or might there be some conflict with the new version? TBH I don't realy know what the system data is so may you will tell me I only need to restore the apps.

TIA
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vahanara:
How languages are included in this ROM? I need Polish.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] brunino1967:
Yes in P1000XXJK5 there is "polski". :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] brunino1967:
Advice for all newbies

: please be carefull with this code *#272... etc etc.

because if you apply it, you will have a wiped SGT and it will go back at factory status (I mean that the default apps will be there but no one of your already downloaded apps will be there !). You will have your home screen reset to default too. If you have the fortune, like it has been for me, to see your SGT (after the firmware update) restart as it was before (with all your apps, etc.)

don't

use this code.

Obviously if your installation is not complete and you wish to have all default/factory installed apps, use this code.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayman07:
sooooo say u do this and it reboots but gets stuck at the samsung logo and vibrates every few seconds. what does that mean?.....and how do u fix it? i really hope i dont gotta reflash and repartition...if so.....FAAWWKKK!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] piero60:
Difference from xxjid and xxjk5 ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zerocool76:
Guys, who is doing a flash needs to make backups!!! Use titanium before flashing or apply 272 code and so on. If for example you are flashing with re-partition you will lose not just the apps but also the entire content of your internal sdcard.With 272 code you will lose the apps but no the sdcard content.You can restore everything with Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] n-j-f:
Sorry to ask again but is there anyone who can help me with this? I am nervous of making a mistake.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Took out my sim and sdcard as stated in the first post, but its still taken the apps/not recognising them. :(

And has it also changed the build.prop? Cant find a few apps on the Market?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
Yeah, I should've changed it, I didn't expect it to wipe the internal SD, not realising that it's basically part of the firmware dump. I know better for next time :)

I've got the full version, I might DropBox it and see if the N1/GTab can share the same space.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] n-j-f:
That's no problem. In the TB settings you can tell it what folder to put the files on Dropbox. I also have a Galaxy S and I tell the s to upload to a folder called GS and the Tab to upload to GT. Works fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Segnale007:
worked like a charm ... thank you ;)

Also, if you are on mac and ur going to do that with VirtualBox it simply wont work, VirtualBox won't let windows recognize the GTab, so, use parallels instead ;)..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jnutz:
An easier way to get into download mode is to just hold the volume down button while the phone is powered off and plug in the USB. Works every time on my T-Mobile TAB.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
I didn't even think to mention that I'd done the whole thing in parallels, worked without a hitch.

The new JK5 firmware seems to have much lower idle CPU usage than JJ4 had too, JJ4 had the "Android System" process using around 8-15% cpu even when nothing was going on, now it's around 2-7%, should equate to better battery life.

Don't know if I got you correct: in any case you will only be able to see the internal file system, but not the individual contacts. Notes are separate .pwi files - but the contacts are not stored as separate files.

If you see the green orb spinning in your systray during sync you are using ActiveSync, otherwise I assume you're connected differently.

Once the AS connection is up and running you will see a "Mobile Device" in My Computer, doubleclick that and you'll see the "My Documents" internal folder of your phone. Click on "My Windows Mobile device" (or similar, don't have an english version at hand) to see internal root directory in a new window.
