[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elviroo:
i decided to bring it back to the service partner. i tried JM1 and updated with kies to froyo 2.2 now. is it normal that my kernel is named: root@sep-35-1 now or is it because i rooted it in earlier times? i removed the root before i flashed the fm1.

thx in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomeks:
yes, it is normal that kernel name is root@....

at least mine original from box have got similar name
[KIN One and Two General] spunker88:
Now that Verizon has brought back the Kin, even though it will probably be short lived I am wondering if we'll see another OS ever working on it. Kin OS is based on Windows CE, so I am wondering if it would be possible to get Windows CE or Windows Mobile running on this thing. Im guessing its lack of popularity is what has kept development off it. It would be so sweet is somebody could get a real OS with 3rd party apps on this thing, since its now exempt from a data plan at Verizon, but it has wifi and smartphone like specs. Im not holding my breath, but haven't seen anything about hacking the Kin on Google searches, so Im wondering if anybody here knows.
[KIN One and Two General] kintworooter:
check out:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com...e/thread/652875f0-ba60-46ad-a265-1865b595d55d

gotta copy and paste into ur URL bar, im not allowed to add links yet.

3rd post suggests the same idea, if we get enough people together, im sure we can get the source code and get our KINs to reach their pull potential by cracking or simply putting another OS on
[KIN One and Two General] spunker88:
I don't know much about hacking these things. But in an ideal world I could see somebody getting WM 6.5 running on this thing with cellular working, somehow pulling the required driver data from the current CE derived OS.
[KIN One and Two General] ozieone:
did anyone find anything?
[KIN One and Two General] Alamo11:
Just Had A Thought

Verizon Altered the OS From Kin 2 To Kin 2M! That Means They Know How To write to the phone! We Now need to BEG verizon developers to try and fork over how they wrote to the phone.
[KIN One and Two General] 4LC4PON3:
Right now all support for the phone has been dropped from all sides really. MS nor sharp will give anytihng out & verizon plays the stupid card.

at the moment there are no working hacks or anything for the phone since no one has seemed to find out how to write to it yet. There is a users on the Forums Kinuser1 who claims that he has been able to write to the phone but his grandfather died so he is not on to show Prood or claims of that yet.

Hopefully someone such as him or Kussak who jsut got his phone today will finally get this stupid OS hacked.
[KIN One and Two General] cj2009cj:
I tried. Everytime i tried to install android using cm7 (touchpad) id see some coding but it would stop shut off and turn on to eitheer batter charge or Hold down power r b bullS .nd tht wont work. Buz the phone i wiped. So i get a warrenty replacement from verizon. But my warrenty ended 1week ago so no more phone breaking.
[KIN One and Two General] rpw0:
Until recently, I enjoyed the Bing app (It has changed). Also have the Twitter app. Not really apps, mobile web sites. So Zune would be about the only app. Any rational reason why? :o

I would really like to be able to take screen shots - is that too much to ask? :p

Regis
[KIN One and Two General] computergeek97:
Verizon vs MS

Are you sure it was Verizon that altered the OS or could it have been Microsoft? I also have thought that if a whole community were to call Verizon and MS every day consistently, if they would get worn out and hand it over.
[KIN One and Two General] DoogieDC:
The KINs use a Microsoft OS. It's built on Windows CE, but the user interface incorporates a lot of Windows Mobile 7 design look and feel.

It was designed as a closed system. There are no third party apps and an API was never released.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
This is kind of an extension of another thread but its a big deal so thought I would headline it:

I have a big fat 3500 mah battery.

I also own a Defender. I put my EVO in the plastic Defender case WITHOUT the battery back on. I did not try to close the plastic case (it won't close), I just carefully stretched the rubber exterior over my ghetto rig and voila, IT FITS!

The answer is:

1) Leave the battery back off.

2) Don't try to clip the plastic case closed.

3) Carefully stretch the rubber exterior over.

P.S., Can't take a pic because my camera is on the phone inside the case. Basically looks like a Defender only a little fatter.
[Galaxy Tab General] deekdeek:
Does anyone have all share working? It sees my ps3 medIa server and folders but when I try and play vIdeo I get an error message.

Vids are avi xvids or divx mainly. Somthing twlls me the app just dosnt work properly.
[Galaxy Tab General] jstigall:
Mine works, I played some torrented tv off of mine not too long ago.

I should say I played video on my PS3 streaming from allshare on my tab

Sent from my galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
I haven't tried AllShare, but after my experiences with DLNA client on my Samsung TV I will not bother and try to find another DLNA client for Android.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I've streamed from my Tab to a Windows Media Centre PC and it worked fine.

The only "oddity" is that in AllShare, I can select the "Server" ok, but but I can't seem to actually select the "Display Device" so that I can press the next button. However, Media Centre can see the Tab, and can stream from it.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Levistras:
Your best bet for a DLNA server is Tversity if you need transcoding.

If you don't, Samsung released their own DLNA server, the Samsung PC Share Manager, for their TVs. This server works fine to stream over AVIs and content that will play natively on the Tab anyway.

PS3 Media Server transcodes to streams not supported by the Tab.. it's a poor choice as it's tailored so specifically for the PS3.
[Galaxy Tab General] deekdeek:
Tried tversity still no luck with this allshare app. Would be nice to get this working.
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Tried PS3 Media Sever and no luck. Basic media sharing on my WHS and my win7 box allows me to stream avi's but not MKVs. MKVs do play natively though so its the default player that is having the issue I think.

I wrote a quick "how-to" a bit ago here.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
What is the error ? "an error message" makes diagnosis difficult.

PS3 Media server uses reasonably standard DLNA protocols, the main problem with most formats is just allshare being _very_ limited in the codecs that it supports.

You're better off getting CIFS working via threads elsewhere in this forum and mounting your media share as a local folder on the GTab. The native video app even plays .MKV files much to my amazement.
[Galaxy Tab General] deekdeek:
"sorry this video cannot be played" thats the message , ill take your reccomendation and check out cifs. I thought that the all share app would support the same vid files as the native player but i guess not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xgumbyx:
I just updated my Bell Galaxy S to the Froyo update Bell has waiting in KIES but has hidden from the public.

I quickly found out that anyone who is using exchange 2010 (and possible 2007) as an email server is going to be VERY unhappy. The security model needed for activesync to work properly with exchange 2010 is broken in JK3 and JK4 (the Bell Froyo builds). It seems that the model is there for full exchange security, but is broken and the phone will not let the server have access to things like password changing and remote wipe etc and thus the connection attempt during setup fails. There is a way around this, but if involves getting your exchange administrator to globally remove the default security policies in exchange (some say for a short time, some say permanently until the Android bug is fixed). Once the default security model is removed from the users Activesync profile then Android can connect and email can be set up.

Hopefully Bell realizes this as a major issue and this is why or at least one of the reasons why they have yet to release it to the public. Supposedly the issue has been fixed by the Android devs in current builds of 2.2.1 but whether or not this will trickle down to Bell's official release of Froyo for the Galaxy S is yet to be determined.

Needless to say, BEFORE YOU UPGRADE VERIFY THAT IT IS GOING TO WORK!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Skud51:
Another alternative is to pull /system/apps/Email.apk from the SDK (or various other locations on the web) and replace the one on your phone.

I've had to do this on mine and it's been working fine.

Originally, I used the "Improved Email" app from http://www.mwebster.us, but it's been having similar issues and the dev doesn't have time to fix it.. Too bad since it was THE best thing out there..

Riley
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'll say there's no need to panic yet, as it's not the final version for public use

that's why it's not accessible via KIES without the Registry Hack
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xgumbyx:
I agree, there is no need to panic, I just wanted to give a warning to those eagerly waiting for the update. Don't be quick to jump on the update or you may find yourself in a whole world of hurt.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xgumbyx:
You have to be rooted to install an alternate Email.apk correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Skud51:
Probably..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rashar:
Hello,

Has anyone unlocked their Vibrant to Rogers then updated FROYO through KIES? I'm wondering if it is ok to do so before I proceed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yeria:
As a software developer, I would say you should be worried. Unless they have completely different version they're waiting to upload, there's no way they're going to make any viable changes now to the firmware when they publicly announced Froyo will be available in mid December. If they want to change that, they will have to delay the release again. Probably to some time in January.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yeria:
As far as I know, updating OS shouldn't take it into account whether the phone is locked or not, so I don't think you should have any problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Time wise that you are correct, if they do approve the current ROM as is, then it'll need to be manually patched later, or wait for the next ROM release.

the SDK work around is very sound and feasible for NON Standard users, people that don't even want to root their phone will be out of luck unfortunately

usually those kind of file swapping requires rooting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vluzhko:
I'm experiencing exact same issue now. There is no way I can benefit from my Exchange account with this Froyo release.

As soon as you have Exchange account with Synck ON + Auti-sync ON it kills th battery in 3-4 hours. Constantly high CPU + network traffic.

Having only Emails with pull interval option is not a good workaround as Exchange users mostly benefit from Calendar sync, and not only emails.

When Auto-sync is OFF calendar is not updated automatically.

Can someone put any instructions on how to replace email.apk? What version can we use on Froyo? is it from 2.1 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xgumbyx:
What Exchange version are you running? Do you have admin access? If you have 2010 I can help you get your phone syncing without needing to root it but it involves removing the default security policy for exchange so the server does not check if it has admin access to the phone during setup. If you have a large exchange organization then this probably isnt the best route for you. For me it was fine as it is my own personal server with minimal users/phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
Does anyone know if the same flaw applies to hosted Exchange - microsoftonline exchange mail service?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vluzhko:
It is large organization. And it is Exchange 2003.

I tried Touchdown today. It also has issues connecting and reports Too Many timeouts during one minute. But it has option to wait in case of such timeouts so it does not drain the battery. On other hand with such a wait Exchange is useless as I do not ger Push at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vluzhko:
Is there any update on Exchange issue?

My phone behaves weird all those days.

I'm on JK4 and our Exchange 2003 just log error every second (it is Err 3005 Http code 400 in event log). The only way to keep my phone alive is to either disconnect from Exchange or turn off Background Data. Both leads to the same result - no sync.

I tried all email.apk available with exchange fix - no luck.

They join to ask questions because their phones are messing up.

You did this before when you were new.

Leave them alone and the word noob is over used.

any way to keep the clock but remove the am/pm off the taskbar? i know you can do it in cm6 but im running a sense rom. i already know about switching to 24hr time but i don't want to do that.

ive searched here and cannot find a fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Are you running a deodexed ROM? If so you might want to head over to the Theme's forum. They have custom made clocks that are more or less the Sense clock widget but in different colors/fonts/exactly the same as stock but without AM/PM/etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
i mean the right corner/taskbar clock not a widget. thanks though!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Yeah there are mods to remove it entirely, some to change to 24/hr and I think one that just gets rid of it. Check them out. Notification Bar Mods is what you should search for. And if you can't find any, then request someone to make one for you. There are themers out there that would do that cause it seems like an easy fix.

It's not called flashing per se, but yes you "flash" through ODIn and you sue BOTH of the .pit file and the .tar file (pda file). Do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT select Re Partition under penalty of death, cruel fiery death.

EDIT!!!! READ THIS: If you're just recovering from a soft brick don't use Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick because you NEED ADB installed to reboot... Follow the directions here to recover from a soft brick:

[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
How do you figure? modem.bin from JK6 date modified is 11/29 JL1 date modified is 12/1.

There may be only a small or nearly non-existant change between the two, but I sure don't know how you can claim they're the same.

anyone flashed this on Onyx 4.2 yet??
[Vibrant Android Development] Hawkularxda:
The data on JK2 wasn't that great [for me]. It kept cutting in and out. The JK6 modem made data much more consistent but with minor hiccups when loading web pages. After flashing the JL1 modem data seems 100%. I have yet to experience a single hiccup. It just works. This is my experience, just thought I'd share.
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
Thanks for this! Same build or not, my gps is locking almost instantly... couldn't tell you how or why, but it is certain.

how can you look at what modem your using.
[Vibrant Android Development] medina0644:
Settings>about phone>baseband version
[Vibrant Android Development] brunobf:
This forum is in desperate need of moderators. It's because of BS like this that all devs only come here to release roms. I urge the kids to go play on the general forum, and leave the dev forums unclogged.

Just by comparing both files, you can see that they have different sizes. Digging a little deeper, you can see that the files are very different content-wise. The JK6 modem was built, according to a structure that can be seen at offset 0x4609F, on 2010-Nov-3. This JL1 rom seems to have been built at 2010-Dec-1.

Also, the string that seems to identify the build:

SP6160_MODEM_V09.11.03

Changed to:

SP6160_Modem_KEPLER_DB171110

So definitely, this is not the same build. It seems that Kepler might be an internal name in Samsung. One could also suppose that DB stands for Debug Build, and 17-11-10 => 17/Nov/2010, but again it would be a complete guess.
[Vibrant Android Development] medina0644:
Prob gonna stay the same like mine. That's my best guess...
[Vibrant Android Development] jeremy215:
I flashed the JL1 modem.bin through odin and baseband now reads T959UVJL1. This was on sXe vanilla rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Five0nIt:
could you tell me how to flash threw odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Interesting. I flashed through Clockwork and mine still says JK6. This happened with the first JK6 I flashed too, though (still said JI6).
[Vibrant Android Development] medina0644:
Yeah same here...
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah can you tell us how to flash this through Odin. Really would Help.
[Vibrant Android Development] traderx2009:
I rebooted and retested data and gps repeatedly to see if I am a victim of the placebo effect. Regardless of what any pessimistic douche bags say, it is working for me. And fyi I am currently running jk6... Gps is absolutely better!
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
You dont flash this through odin you flash this through clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] medina0644:
I

I wouldn't bother going back to odin , just wait for another version to come out... this happened with jk6, not really any big change...
[Vibrant Android Development] jeremy215:
After unzipping chainfire's .zip open odin and without touching any other button but the phone button click it. Then browse the unzipped folder till you see modem file, add it. Then click start. After a quick flash your phone will reboot with the new modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] jeremy215:
After unzipping and picking out the .bin file you can.
[Vibrant Android Development] Five0nIt:
worked perfect. Baseband now says JL1.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Alright Cool. Thanks A Lot. Im going to give it a Go. Did you notice anything better with this NEW Modem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Zzzt:
Funny - this guy must not have looked at it himself. I just used AVIHex to compare the two files and found that they are obviously very similar, but definitely not identical. Amazing how some folks think so much of themselves...
[Vibrant Android Development] jreed3786:
Piss on the ungrateful!!!

I just want to say THANK YOU...to all of the people that actually CONTRIBUTE to these forums, instead of bringing useless CRAP and DRAMA. This modem DEFINITELY improves your phone...GPS locks in 2 secs for me. THANK YOU...and all of the drama lovers and selfish bastards can go sit on a fist! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
Thanks - learn something new every day.

I think this new modem does help.

Non-scientific:

Phone sees 13 satellites and locks on 7 to 8 outside locks on 5 in my house.

When sitting on "my spot on the couch" better signal, with JK6 I would occasionally loose signal now 3 to 4 bars!
