Dude I can play both Gangstar & Gangstar MV in my Dell Streak ( shipped stock android 2.2) & T-Mobile HTC HD2 (Typhoon CM7 android 2.3) with no problem.

for diff CPU you should down diff apk & data package (important!)

for gangstar you should use the 3.1.1 version (not the later ones),

and for the data package you should search for the package for desire hd version.

Been trying to download it from the update service on the old version and downloading it from SE's site but it stops at about 225kb every time and eventually the updater shuts down.. been trying for weeks and i really need pc companion to get my contacts for work etc!

Much appreciated if anyone helps me!
[Legend General] jonasd:
Am I the only one having problems when the phone switches automatically from 3g to wifi connection? It connects but the connectoin does not work. If I cycle the wifi connection on/off it works flawlessly? Any ideas?
[Legend General] mtrax:
is it the following bug:

if it is then its not just a Vodafone issue, please star the following bug

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

or is it this problem:

[Legend General] jonasd:
Its not the first problem, as I stated above, the problem is when switching from 3g not to 3g.

And the second one seems to be Vodafone network related. Im on Telia Sweden network. The problem is in all Vodafone based 2.2 roms i tried, and does not for example exist in CM RC2
[Legend General] jonasd:
So, shall I take the silence as I'm the only one with this problem?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domon07:
whenever i plugged in my hd2 android on my laptop, it just restarts the phone and boot into windows, what seems to be the problem? is it the usb driver on my laptop? or the radio rom? but if i'm on windows mobile, the connection is stable and well.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Title says it.

Doesn't matter what I'm doing, any app, any time, it will randomly vibrate and go back as if I hit the back button.

It seems to happen especially when I tap something.

Ex. On the xda android app, I tap into a thread, loads up, I feel my phone vibrate and it goes back.

Its really frustrating. I never noticed it until I started flashing roms. I always flash back to stock & wipe data bla bla bla so I know I'm not doing anything wrong there.

Anyone?
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
It might be a malfunctioning button. I had a similar issue with my home button where the phone would go nuts at random times with the screens switching back and forth. It's pretty rare, but when it happens it's usually hardware related.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Well that's just wonderful. Aka I'm screwed.
[Captivate General] fugeelama:
How are you screwed? Backup with TiBu, flash back to stock w/ ODIN and take it to a AT&T repair center and they can swap you out with another device.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I got this on upgrade through Amazon. At&t wont swap it unless I got it through them. Only way I can do it is through Amazon and my 30 days are already up so Idk how that would work...
[Captivate General] jaykishora:
Not true. I bought my Captivate from Radioshack and the AT&T warranty center replaced the phone for me w/o any issues. As long as you did not buy it from a guy who found it when it fell-from-the-truck, it should be fine.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
what if its past the 30 days? and do i need my receipt from Amazon or anything like that?
[Captivate General] bptba93:
Mine also does this, instead I've noticed it does it with the home button. Mine causes it to trigger the search button. I've noticed since I've switched to Froyo though that the problem doesn't occur as often, but it still does it probably once or twice a day.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
What ROM are you running? I am having the same issues, but I have it with both the back AND the Home buttons. It seemed to not be as bad with the Stock JF6
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I've went to the AT&T Warranty Center with a phone that refused to turn on/charge/etc.

All they asked of me was my phone number. They checked the phone out, etc. and gave me another one.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I think I might have figured it out. I work in a warehouse in Spokane Washington and right now its colder than tits out. Might be the phone getting to cold. Ill know after today n ill let you guys know
[Captivate General] kangi26:
Mine does it in a warm room, outside, freakin anywhere. BUT I did switch from stock JF6, off of a Vibrant ROM. It hasn't happened once today.

I also found out that as far as the repair centers go, if you get a new device you are VERY lucky. Most of the time you are going to get a referbished item. They go in range from the 1006-1010 phones.
[Captivate General] KPoon:
I've got the same problem going on with my captivate. I tried a couple different ROM's to see if it had any effect. It was happening on Perception build 4, Axura RC1, and on stock. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue, but if someone's found a solution, please keep us updated!
[Captivate General] ricethief:
I have the same problem but with the search button. It happens everywhere, but the other night it was freezing so i was sitting next to a space heater and it really wigged out.
[Captivate General] FishDoc:
You might try this.

Okay guys---first post after lurking and learning for awhile. Try not to ROFL with this suggestion. I've owned my captivate for a bit over a month. Before ever turning it on I put a high-priced screen protector in place. Immediately I was plagued with the problem of the buttons doing things without asking. Press the home button and get search, vice versa and every possible combination. Took it back to the phone shop and this 15-year old looking sales guy took one look and asked if I minded if he trimmed a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the screen protector. I said no and in five minutes I left with a captivate that no longer mis-fires with every touch. Now, I suppose you guys with this problem don't even have a screen protector in place.

FishDoc
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I have a screen protector and I've considered that being the problem. Haven't used my phone much today so I haven't really noticed it but it has happened a few times...especially in the xda app. Ugh this phone is gonna be the death of me
[Captivate General] jaykishora:
Should not matter. I was past 30 days. I would've returned the phone and avoided the hassle if it was in 30 days. Surprisingly it took me less than 5 minutes to get a replacement phone in the warranty center.

All they asked me was the phone number of the account and name on the account and my ID to confirm that I was the owner of the phone. No receipt was asked.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I found out from the service center in my area. 0-30 days, brand new phone. 31 days-1 year, most likely a referb phone, but you could get lucky and get a new one. Over 1 year you're SOL.

I have a 1007, and was offered a 1008. The ranges run from 1006-1010, 1010 being the newest batch, and I of course was going for a 1010. I decided to skip the 1008, and wait to see if they got any new shipments in.

I'd been have tons of problems with the buttons on mine, the Home and Back were mental! I went back to stock JF6, I only had a couple random presses of the back button. Right now I'm running Assonance 2.0, it's i9000JK3 based and Modem. Not a single random pressed all day today. I had pretty heavy use today
[Captivate General] KPoon:
so i did some tweaking on my phone and i think it's fixed, at least for now. i found that the stock jf6 rom had the most issues with it, so i flashed jh3. from there, i flashed up to perception7, and i haven't had the issue again yet.

- No Marketplace

.. etc etc..

Just the basics of phone/sms/email/internet stable and battery preserving :D

Anyone ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilwilwel:
Look for Energy or Cleanex ROMS

make sure you download the right version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fishawy:
Yes, I recommend Energy Standard, Reference, or Titanium (No Sense).

[Galaxy Tab General] anggogo:
Hi,

please allow me to ask this stupid question

according to the spec, it supports GSM network, does it mean I can insert my normal phone SIM card to it and make phone call?

I don't really want to have a data plan and simply just use my normal SIM card (if it's possible), and then use WIFI when access is possible (at home or in the office).

I am very curious if I can make phone call with it, so I don't have to use my current phone anymore :D

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] risq:
It would help if you did a bit of research into the product you intend on purchasing, as any review will tell you, the galaxy tab IS a phone.

If you have an EU model, it will support and allow phone calls.

CANADA ones I think you can make calls, but not out of the box.

US models do NOT support phone calls (Skype may work?)

ASIA Models seem to come without marketplace.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
risp is partially right in regards to the USA models (T-mobile / AT&T) out of the box these 2 tabs are not able to make phone calls just use 3G, but if you flash a Euro Rom it will allow you to make phone calls, and you can get Edge (only using an AT&T or Simple Mobile Sim) on both AT&T and T-mobile tabs. Since you stated that you will use wifi either at home or office then you can choose either one of the two and just flash the Euro Rom and you will be set to make phone calls.
[Galaxy Tab General] anggogo:
OK, I just called Rogers (a Canada carrier), it surprises me that the staff told me it cannot make phone calls. The GSM network only supports the data.

when you said flashing a different Rom can make phone calls, does it mean, the Canada or US model doesn't come with that software to make phone calls?

I haven't seen the device myself yet, is there a place I can insert a SIM card to it, and the device and recognize it? If yes, I am sure there is a way to use it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Treemann:
It IS an do-it-all marvel

It is a one-unit that does-it-all (including voice calls) if you are anywhere but North America.

Here, the service providers are only offering units with the voice call capability locked out. Apparently want us to carry around two units, a tab and a phone like in the iWorld. Hum. Why? Could it be they want to get deeper in our pockets?

I have a regional service provider that that doesn't sell the Tab. But they promised me if I bought one from the UK (Clove Technology) and put their sim card from my old phone in it, they would give me both voice and data service. Very reasonable.

They don't "support" it but the local staff was so excited to get their hands on it and and play that they had me up and functioning in seconds.

I'm very pleased with it and don't see any reason why any provider that offers voice and data service on your current phone wouldn't be willing to let you pay them for the same service on an unlocked, fully functional Tab that you got from wherever.
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
T-Mobile is filtering voice because they don't want it to be looked at as a big smart phone. They want it to be a real iPad competitor so they are doing everything they can to make people believe it isn't just a big smart phone but rather something new. Of course we know it is just a big smart phone and naturally we want to makes calls on it but T-Mobile isn't having any of that.

Same with the other carriers in the US.
[Galaxy Tab General] jdogsupreme:
Question

I was hoping I could get the galaxy tab to run 3g and also provide voice on ATT. It sounds like either you can get 3g data only, or edge data and voice if you are using an euro rom. Is it possible to get 3g and voice on Att by using a euro rom and jumping through some hoops?

Hoping I can just retire the iphone and switch over to the galaxy tab.

Thanks,

John
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
The AT&T TAB can do 3G and voice at the same time with the EURO firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847273

I found that thread by searching for the words AT&T and TAB. Stay away from the T-Mobile TAB if your service is through AT&T.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Posting here for anyone who camps Roe's threads (like me) lol :D

(pre cursor- uninstall google voice first, I didn't have it installed but some people did)

Steps I took

on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)

used Titanium to back up the app

Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab

Restored the app

Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit

inbox popped right up.

YMMV
[G Tablet General] HighTech216:
Thanks for the confirmation!!! Looks like I finally have a serious reason to root my N1, I feel so behind the times.
[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
Are you saying that should I do this, I'd be able to text from my GTab?

If so, please elaborate. I've never used Google Voice, but will if I can text from my tab. That'd be crazy awesome.

(Got a HTC Hero CDMA, rooted, stock ROM. GTab is running TnT 2.2, if any of that matters.)

After yesterdays (12/8/10) update to GV. The entire app almost works now on the G-Tab. You can even "skip" the voicemail setup and get it working about 90%...just no VOIP calling yet

Ok. I'll download that from the market. Do I sign up online with my existing cell number?

[G Tablet General] bugdeyez:

[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
No real work is required to get this up and running. Just install Google Voice via the marketplace and run it. I already had a Google Voice account, and when prompted I just told the setup program that the G-Tablet was my home phone or something. No problem texting or listening to voice mail.

Does anybody have voice calling on the G-Tab through SIP?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spanky:
Hi there,

anyone could confirm?

Tab fw JM6 rooted ok with SuperOneClick

If I try to change LCD density with LCD Density Changer, nothing happens, it doesn't work

Same issue with Spare Parts, the program starts but then force close

Is there any other sw out there to change LCD density that works with JM6?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
It's because BusyBox isn't installed. Go to LCD Density - Settings - Select make LCD my system density. As soon as you tick the box, it will say Cannot complete without busybox and will direct you to the market.

Download Busybox and all root apps will work.

Unlike Z4root, SuperOneClick doesn't install busybox, you need to do it manually.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spanky:
great, thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Or alternatively you can edit the build.prop and select the density you want in there, without adding any 3rd party programs.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] spanky:
I've set lcd density to 180

I've also installed LauncherPro with all widgets

The People widget is very big, is there any chance to resize it or put more than one widget in the same page (ex. People and Facebook widget)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bisto321:
Launcher pro paid version (sounds like you have it) has the ability to resize the widgets. Click and hold it in position, as if you are moving it, then release and you should be given the option to resize. Not sure how well it will work with changes to LCD density though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Loccy:
Some widgets react OK to being sized differently than their expected size, but in my experience most get fairly mangled. What I think you actually need is to increase the number of rows and columns on your desktop to accommodate the increased screen real estate. You will need to switch to Launcher Pro or ADW though. I'm running a density of 200, with 6 rows and 7 columns which works well. A lot of the Samsung widgets seem to come in at 3 rows wide, which means that with a 6 row desktop you can now put 2 of them side by side.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
I'm using ADW.Launcher with 200 instead of 240 LCD density, it works beautifully well in both portrait and landscape orientations ! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GANJDROID:
Never had any issuewith widgets not working after changing the density, especially LPP widgets. They worked perfectly at 200 on the Tab and my Desire
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayman07:
If I change it to anything below 240 and open the stock email app, I get a little gap in the bottom when its in landscape. That's the only reason I don't use it :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
Agree that's a pitty, but then again I'm pleased to notice that most Galaxy Tab apps works without to much scaling problems on all densities. That's a big difference with the Galaxy S phone variants. On the Galaxy S variants most Samsung apps get all f'ed up with a different density.

I hope Google will support variable densities in the upcoming Android versions.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
While a friend was using my tab, they changed the density to 100 (Thanks!). This caused my tab to reboot constantly and I cannot keep it on long enough to change LCD Density back.

Can anyone give me the files need to push from adb to change my density back to normal? Is it build.prop or something like that?

EDIT: I managed to adb pull my build.prop and edit it, but when I try to push it back I get permission denied.

when trying to mount with adb shell using mount /system -o rw,remount I get a usage error.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
Not sure why your remount isn't working assuming you have root permissions. I presume you've typed something like this?

# su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

(apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs), or are you trying to do it directly via adb? If so then you could always copy the build.prop file from /system to something writeable like /mnt/sdcard - edit it (or pull it with adb and edit it) then remount /system as rw and copy it back. Lots of ways really.

An alternative which I often use when not near a computer is to just edit the file using Root Explorer - a very useful tool though may not be an option for you right now if you can't actually launch the device :). btw - I had issues with LCD Density app after the flash of the latest EU JM6 FW and found the manual edit was the only way it would persist over reboots. Not sure if that's just local to me as no-one else seems to have issues, but something to bear in mind if it happens to anyone else.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
yeah the problem goes deeper. So I figured out that my tab is no longer rooted, and I can't root it again because I cannot put it back into debug mode. The system restarts itself before I can get to that screen.

I managed to adb pull, but I can't push back because I cannot gain permission. This may be the second tab I return for a new one.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
Are you able to launch an app before your tab reboots?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
unfortuately not really. I have been able to get to the launcher menu for a second, but then it reboots.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
If you can get an adb pull then you should be able to run a root script. There is a script posted in this section for installing clockworkmod via a Windows bat file or a Linux/OSX shell script. I personally had issues with the recovery part of the script and would not recommend running the whole process, but the bits that do the rooting worked well for me. It was simply a case of removing the section that added the recovery files and then it rooted fine. You could try that. Edit the run.sh or run.bat file and remove the section that pushes the recovery files. For run.sh you'd delete

if [ "$buildid" == "FROYO" ]; then
echo Push clockworkmod redirector files to device
echo
$adb push bin /system/bin/
echo Set permissions on clockworkmod redirector files
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryfiles
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryfiles/*
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryres
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryres/*
echo
fi

or for run.bat remove

IF "%buildid%"=="FROYO" (
echo Push clockworkmod redirector files to phone
echo.
adb push bin /system/bin/
echo Set permissions on clockworkmod redirector files
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryfiles
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryfiles/*
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryres
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recoveryres/*
echo.
)

Your mileage may vary and I take no responsibility etc etc (I've only tested the Mac/Linux script and not the Windows batch file), but may be worth a punt before you look at returning it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
****, I know the problem. That's why I advice users in the help (i'm the developer of LCD Density Changer) to first do a preview before changing the system density. I used to have a so called boot monitor exactly for these problems.

I will put up an extra warning in the app or maybe force a preview before users can safe the density. Anyway, sorry for the trouble.

But why don't you flash some new firmware with odin or with kies?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Thanks paulshields, I'll try what you said and post my results.

Unfortunately I am using the VZW tab and there is no firmware yet. If all else fails I can wait, for something to come out for my the my tab. Also don't worry I am not blaming you or anyone for that matter. Hopefully I get this fixed!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
The script doesn't seem to be working. I think it's because I'm not in debug mode (which I can't get to). Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ftgg99:
dont bother with density changer - just edit the build.prop file in /system

find lcd density = 240 and change it to 200 or 180
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] deekdeek:
I just used LCD density changer, i tested at 200 before i set as system. rebooted and now my tab blank screen and just keeps vibrating. S#%$ im just gonna re flash roto and wont be advising anyone to use this app.

is editing the build.prop file safe?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] deekdeek:
ok too impatient, editing the build.prop def works !

thanks ftgg99!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] appelflap:
LOL!! are you using a illegal copy :D

Edit: I mean, with old versions this was possible. With the new versions it is completely safe. The problem you are facing is that you didn't have busybox installed. In older versions I didn't check on that and that could cause exactly the problem you described. So which version did you use? A old one you downloaded somewhere?
