That may be the case but Kies is an absolute nightmare.

I also have an SGS and when I applied an upgrade for Froyo on a stock SGS with nothing altered Kies 'bricked' the phone.

Luckily I could still do the 3-Button Recovery so managed to wipe the phone clean and use Odin with the upgrade ROM from samfirmware.com

As such I am no fan of Kies and not looking forward to connecting my Tab to it.

Question to everyone else who has done the upgrade ~ has anyone experienced any difficulties with Kies and the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] AndyGarton:
I just upgraded also and can't really spot any changes so far. The upgrade did preserve everything, although I had to re-root. Oddly Opera Mobile was crashing a lot also (it hardly ever did prior to the upgrade), but an uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed that.
[Galaxy Tab General] AndyGarton:
It worked ok for me, although what are Mac users supposed to do? Luckily I had a PC in the house I could use.
[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
Hi,

Upgrade was quite slow. It took 30-45 mins.

My all apps and home screen customisations are intact. That's really good.

[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
Works fine using miren browser on the old firmware ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] crippleb0y:
How come I don't get the update in kies? It says my device is already running the latest firmware. I'm on an unlocked and unbranded euro version of the tab.

edit: is it because I rooted it?
[Galaxy Tab General] zozodouce:
same problem here too, i wish someone could tell us what to do in this case.
[Galaxy Tab General] AndyGarton:
It's not because you've rooted anyway because I've done that and I got the update. Perhaps you really are already on the latest? My Tab is an unlocked one bought in the UK on the day of release and was running JJ3 originally.
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
It would appear the update is for JJ users as in JJ3 to JJ7.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
On HTC phones, you are notified that an update is available for download, and then advised that it may be better to switch to WiFi before downloading.

Try telling that to someone who is running OS/X or Linux! :)

Yes, I know you can use a VM, but:

a) That *is* a chore! ;)

b) You need to have a Windows license, which some people might not legally have.

EDIT: I see there is a Kies Mini now for OS/X users!

OTA is definitely the way to go IMHO.

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
Couldn't agree more with you Dave.... Kies is an absolute nightmare. Besides the insane method Samsung use, you connect and take a chance it does not brick your phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
I'm using OSX at the moment and am fine with having to boot into my win7 partition or use my WinXP VM if need be.

In order to download a 300MB file OTA, i'd either need to change my data plan to one that costs me an extra $30/month, or pay 10c/mb for data beyond my current cap. Not everywhere has good cellular data plans, although Europe, North America and Asis, would encompass >95% of their target market, so I can't imagine they'd care too much.

Obviously they _should_ support OSX users as it's a reasonable sized market, although probably most OSX users would be more likely to get an iPad as they're already suckling at the teat of Jobs. It's simply a USB/COM gateway, basically just an adb redirect, so other than the UI it's not like it's complicated for them to implement as most of the framework already exists in the SDK.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Or you would just use WIFI to download the OTA update!

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Well said. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] jaffanz:
I purchased mine from handtec dot co dot uk, it's obviously unlocked and unbranded. It is on jj3 as well, is there any way to force an update? Without rooting or would that be required.

[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
OTA is generally accepted as being via the cell network, otherwise you're essentially just downloading it over the "regular" internet, if you want to start mixing definitions then it's going to get awkward. :)

That said, if they're able to limit the download to just when it's connected to a WiFi network, then that'd be a lot more friendly to those on a restrictive cell bandwidth allocation.
[Galaxy Tab General] kupuguy:
No need to root it.

It should offer you the update when you connect it to a PC running Samsung Kies. Have you tried that, or don't you have anything that runs Windows?
[Galaxy Tab General] risq:
Theres a lot of fixes to problems you mention im JM6 firmware which is a development build. Hopefully that will become an official update before long.
[Galaxy Tab General] bisto321:
Upgraded mine via kies, can see why others don't like it.

Upgrade seems ok and did preserve my settings and apps, so that is good, only problem I have is that the wpa_supplicant fix for ad hoc to my hero does not work now!

It refuses to start WiFi if I replace the 'real' wpa_supplicant with the fixed one.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] LuckOne79:
yes, sir. try a reboot :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] bisto321:
I had tried that twice! But before I posted that it did not work, I thought I would try again.

It now works - go figure?

Thanks for the prompt.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
I'm running jm6 and connected to kids and it said no upgrade avaliable how would I get the update
[Galaxy Tab General] bisto321:
JM6 is a development ROM, yes?

That, coupled to the fact that you seem to be based in the USA, is probably filtering out this euro update.

Hi,

I have the "[ROM][RAPH] S4 v1.9 WM 6.5.5 23549 GER für Raphael" Firmware on my Raphael phone.

I used a new but not very good working Rom version, too which brought a good GPS signal but I could not receive any SMS.

Now I changed the Rom version for the 1.08.25.20M1.

My problem ist just that my main display says I would have 29 unread sms. But in fact I read and deleted every sms. So the displayed amount of sms is wrong.

Does someone have any idea how to fix this?!

I would be very greatful because that sucks :)

Sincerely,

Can any HTC Hero roms perform the new fastboot feature like on the Desire HD and Z? My friend saw my rooted Desire do it and wondered if he could get a similar feature on his phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
Hey guys,

So my phone developed a strange white mark on the screen. Took it to get it fixed and finally a month later Vodafone returned a different handset to me with the latest Vodafone ROM on it as I expected.

Bottom line is I don't want the Vodafone ROM on it. Can I simply install the official HTC ROM onto the handset from their website? Is it that simple or will it totally mess up my handset?

Thanks.

Richard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
Ha, just discovered now that it is locked to Vodafone. Can I make an issue out of this with the idiots at Vodafone? HTC website won't let me download their ROMs. What can I do about this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostmore:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webpatrick:
BIG ISSUE

If the phone you send in to repair was originally an unbranded device and they returned you a branded device. I would make a BIG (oh no a HUGE) issue out of it, they just can't do that. They have to replace it with a similar device, a branded Vodafone device isn't worth half on the second hand market because of SIM-lock.

But you cannot just install a HTC ROM, you'll have to use HSPL2 (1.66HSPL preferable) but HSPL2 can void your warranty, all tough it is reversible. With HSPL2 the Vodafone branded device will still be SIM-locked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
webpatrick this is exactly as I thought...so yesterday before looking at the posts on here I sent a very heated email to Vodafone telling them exactly as it is. This handset is worthless to me. And you are right about the branding. I bought a phone last year that was branded (I didn't know this when I got it) and I had loads of trouble trying to sell it on. I can mess with the ROMs all I want but the bottom line is that any new HTC ROMs would never install unless I HSPL2 it, so how could I sell it on to someone without telling them that it is branded? I can't.

Words cannot convey how fuming I am with Vodafone right now. It took them a month to get a working device back into my hands...and then it wasn't even my device or indeed a similarly set up device. Absolutely pathetic. This means I have to make more journeys to the Vodafone store, waste my time and money etc.

Thanks for your posts guys. I will let you know what develops. I should be recieving a reply to my email at some point soon.

Richard
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
Ok so I got this email back from them today. How do you think I should proceed?

"Hello Richard,

To reinstall the HTC ROM on your phone you can visit the nearest Vodafone stores.

Alternatively, you need to contact the HTC manufacturer if they can help you to reinstall the HTC ROM on your phone.

I trust this helps."

What should I do? Should I persue the issue or do one of the above?

Thanks

Richard
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
So basically....THEY DIDN'T READ MY EMAIL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webpatrick:
So it was originally branded, you probable had a bit of discount back then.

But the employee that sold it to you probable didn't know it was branded neither. Vodafone used to brand devices with a visible vodafone logo on the outside, and they didn't do that with the HD2.

I also was mislead by it a year ago, but since an vodafone upgrade is available, i don't bother anymore, cause I can install any ROM I like with HSPL2 (except new 3.14 ROMs), and revert with the official vodafone upgrade if needed.

So if you want an original HTC ROM, you have to use HSLP2 or for the latest HTC ROM a GoldCard, cause there's no HSPL for the new 3.14 ROMs (with SPL 3.03.0000 bootloader) (see Artemis Thread).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redeyedrichard:
Turns out I have just installed custom roms. I figured that I might as well void the warranty. I will just revert to the stock if worse comes to worse.

[Epic 4G General] LucJoe:
Did you update to DI18 at least? There was some throttling in early builds but I'm not sure if it affected 4G.

Other than that, you might want to try update profile/prl.

If you have no idea what I'm saying, just take it to a Sprint store.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Ya sounds like an older modem version. If you feel up to the task, flash the new DK17 modem in Odin and see if that fixes the speeds for you. You will need to have a DK17 ROM. Also, like the person above posted, update your PRL after you update the modem.

They actually should stay removed... I don't know for sure about the uninstall... but if you freeze them in titanium they will stay gone (still on the system, but won't show up as installed and won't be in your app drawer) the technical way to do it if you're a bit savvy with adb is to run

pm list packages

which will give you a list of the actual package names then do

pm disable packagename
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
No, reason? Temproot writes to the cache. When the phone is rebooted or needs space for memory, cache folder gets cleared (poof cache files gone) so when you do something to change the system ie. delete certain apps, it deletes it....temporarily because its only saved to cache. If you want to delete permanently, permaroot it. Permaroot writes to the system, not cache. Once its gone, syonara. Do a backup with titanium root for whatever app you delete. (you never know if you need to return it with stock rom)
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Over in WM-land, there are all sorts of apps that can record keystrokes, screen taps, etc., then play them back. Also, there is this awesome scripting environment called MortScript that includes commands to initiate key and screen presses allowing automation of any application.

Is there anything like that for android? Combined with Tasker, just about anything can be automated.

My specific objective is to automate Roaming Control based on proximity to my home wireless network. However, I can think of at least 3 or 4 other things I'd use this for right away if such an animal exists...

Hi,

I post here, hoping is the right place.

I've just flash'd my Blackstone with the latest Energy rom with CHT 2.0. Then I've installed Co0kie home tab 2.0

Now, i've some troubles: when i lock/unlock the device i can see a small portion of the default wallpaper (I think it is under the WP selected with CHT) and the home tab 2.0 softkeys covered by the rom taskbar when i click on it.

Also, the meteo animations are cutted on the bottom :/

Any suggestions?

Also, I'm trying to have an eyecandy device, so... any CHT addons to suggest?

I'm looking for a similar TypoPhone 4 for my lockscreen, softkeys etc :)

question: do you have to pay for sprint's mobile hotspot to use mobileap? I flashed the dk17 viper rom to my epic last night and it keeps saying something under the lines of my sprint pcs username and pw couldn't be authorized...
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
MobileAP is notorious for having issues unless it is perfectly integrated into the ROM. Try using Wireless Tether, it is available for free just do a search for it on here. IMO it works much better than Sprint Hotspot, and there is no need to pay for it. If you still have problems (I can never get neither MobileAP nor Wireless Tether working properly on my phone), try using a wired tether app such as PdaNet or Wired Tether. These require the usb cable to be plugged in, but there are far fewer compatiblity issues. Hope this helps!

Sent from my Xtremely Syndicated and Emotionless Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] abro22:
Already have the wifi tether app and have used pdanet before. Both work.. Just, I was hoping got quicker speeds through mobileap..
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
Actually im curios too... do you have to pay to use MobileAP?
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Nope, it is a free solution to tether your existing 3G or 4G data connection wirelessly. You just need to have it baked into whichever ROM you are using, as it is not a standalone .apk.

I'm not sure about speed, wired tether would surely be the fastest as there is no loss of speed from wireless data transfer. PdaNet is very slow IMO, I don't use it anymore due to this. MobileAP shouldn't be too much faster than WifiTether, as they are both using essentially the same protocol to do the same thing, just different ways of going about it. Keep following the ViperROM thread, I'm sure BT will get a fully functional MobileAP mod working shortly :-)
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
yeah the sprint hotspot is a sprint app (obviously, lol) that you will have to pay for to use. the MobileAP in the vipeROM is in Settings > Wireless > Mobile AP. Its not going to be any faster than wireless tether, the benefit is that the above are both infrastructure mode while wireless tether is ad hoc. some devices cannot connect to ad hoc connections.

i tested the vipeROM mobile AP and my lappy could connect successfully and cant connect to ad hoc. it looks like he swiped it from the captivate since there was att related text in it, lol. but it works, data worked, i jsut got messages every few seconds about not being able to register me or something like that, but it continued to work, lol. hope this helps

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sweet5thAve:
All you need is a hotspot toggle. I use Quick Settings by Sergej Shafarenka from the market. After installed, long press search key and open it, then click menu button, customize, Drag Mobile Hotspot into visible settings. Press back then turn it on.

You can then select it and it will take you to the Mobile Hotspot settings and you can set up security and rename as well.
[Fascinate General] BeeDubs:
Is it possible to tweak the camera so the shutter and image recording (save to SD) are much quicker?

Just curious what it would take...

Yeah, I have played with settings. I have the stock card and the camera is really slow, slower than my brother's Fascinate camera. Weird.

Wish it was a lot quicker like the iPhone 4 camera. I wonder if that's mostly due to software?
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Do you have any apps that are hogging the CPU? Do you have the same apps as your brother?
[Fascinate General] Domush:
The stock SD card is your main issue. It has a 2MB/sec write speed (class 2), vs photography standard 6MB/s write speed (class 6). In other words, the stock card is cheap garbage meant for storage, not speed. Buy a new class 6 or better SD card. The phone memeory is likely class 2 as well, so make sure you save to the SD, not local storage.

Recently I updated from TnT 2.0.0 to 2.0.2, and I notice that the menu & return button on the notification bar has disappeared. In fact, they appear for half a second and then got covered by the notification bar, and now I can't change mode (day/week/agenda). The return button on the side of the g-tablet still works, but the menu button does not -- only for this app! Any suggestion?

One more calendar question, and I noticed that even back in 2.0.0: the calendar app does not show US holidays. The holidays do show up when I log into google calendar directly; they also show up on my pandigital novel, so this is an issue with the g-tablet calendar app. Any suggestion?

Bonus question: I thought that TnT 2.0.2 is supposed to have a different calendar & contact app than 2.0.0, but they look the same to me after the update. And I know there's an update since I now have a "home" button and long-press on home gives "recent apps". Any suggestion?

* enter your google account info, make sure you enable both contact & calendar sync

* once you're done, go back and turn off and then back on both contact & calendar sync. I found that I had to do that a couple of times before the calendar syncs.

YMMV! Now, back to fixing my borked contact :-(
