If I can get honeycomb running fine on my tab at some point then I'm happy to keep using the same device, who knows maybe we'll get some tweaked honeycomb roms that are super smooth and amazing. I love my tab as it is though but I won't be able to justify buying a new tablet until my wife goes back to work after nursing school next year....so yea this device was my last hooray and I'll be squeezing as much out of it as I can.
[Galaxy Tab General] Abuzain:
Depressed.......to know that honeycomb is out after having my tab for less than a month. I feel like i was cheated. Ridiculous to have a product launched in November 2010 and then release a better version just a few months down the line?????? When is this bitXh coming out anyway - GTAB2? Honeycomb? wtf? I'd rather have purchased the Ipad!!!!! BullXXXX. They better have the Honeycomb running on my GTAB or else.....LOL.:mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] Pat123:
^^Lol! Take a chill pill! We would eventually be getting Honeycomb! If not officially, definitely from the wonderful devs on XDA!
[Galaxy Tab General] steviem:
whilst the likelihood is that a third party will get Honeycomb onto here, I do have to agree. Apple is better at supporting 1 to 2 year old hardware than Samsung is at supporting 3 month old hardware.

It's a bad situation for us, but in a way, it could be good because we won't have to deal with any crappy Samsung ui customization if 3.0 aosp is ported to the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
There's a reason for that - it's called the App Store!

Since Apple take a cut of every application sold on the App Store, they effectively still have a revenue stream from older devices still in active use, so it behooves Apple to keep support them. Samsung are trying to do something similar with their Samsung Movies etc, but for the most part once they've sold a device, that's it as far as revenue is concerned.

That isn't to let Samsung off the hook - they can, and should, support their hardware with updates for at least a year IMO.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] steviem:
Exactly, and if they can't be arsed to support their products once they sell them, then they should make it so we don't need leaked windows only applications to flash them...
[Galaxy Tab General] vamp6x6x6x:
Don't worry we will get Honeycomb, because if Samsung doesn't give us the update(which honestly I believe they will after the Tab 2 has been out with Honeycomb for a few months first) I hear that they have already ported Honeycomb for the Nook Color, so its only a matter of time til we get it on the gTab.

And as for feeling cheated; you shouldn't. I mean in the world of technology you always see something better coming out not to long after you buy something.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SammyGalax:
Hey guys, is it possible to port just the animation? not the whole gingerbread?

If yes: How?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's just a whole bunch of animated PNG pictures

so it should be possible

i really like the GB stock boot up animation as well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Not exactly.

It's an opengl implementation found in SurfaceFlinger.cpp. Look at for eg

Link at line 1625
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
very good information.

so they went away from using animated slide shows as the previous versions

then i guess anyone willing to spend time on the port, will have to convert the video back into a slide show the add it to the ROM
[General Topics] jazzzy786:
I have a very nice BBC iPlayer app called myplayer v1.0 on my phone which has been recently updated to myplayer v1.1. The problem with myplayer v1.1 is that the bbc content has been removed and it is now a purely ITV1, C4, C5, More4 player.

As version 1.0 of the program doesn't have the itv content I'd like to have both. However if i update the program I lose the bbc iplayer . I have read somewhere that if I change the package name of the app I can have my cake and eat it. How do I do this?

The other solution is another app that allows me to watch itv.

[G Tablet General] fuzzyfuzzy104:
I have a gps-500 (a usb based GPS receiver) from when my laptop worked and wondered if some guru out there found a way to make it useful with the tablet.

For the price, $19 or so to purchase the 'sensor', it would make the tablet become a cool GPS for any others where tethering is not an option.

(http: preceeds the line below, since I'm too new to post links)

//linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org/2010/12/13/gps-receiver-microsoft-pharos-gps-500-iii-gps-receiver/

googling "pharos gps-500 linux" turned up quite a few places of interest

I also wanted to thank the devs for the wonderful work they are doing to let us use with our newest toy.. i mean tool :)

i'm using a bt-1000x travel recorder, it's a bluetooth gps, i't working great, all i have to do is use a special program on the gtab so it knows about the gps, works perfectly with google maps
[G Tablet General] TheCougar:
was wondering if you had gotten this going yet? I have a BU-353 usb gps receiver and haven't gotten it to work yet. also haven't found (so far) any threads in the Gtab forums talking about if usb gps work or not with the modified firmwares.
[G Tablet General] fuzzyfuzzy104:
Nothing working for mine so far. I had looked at this,

wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Navit_on_Android

it "works", as in 'it wont crash', no maps show though. I have not yet posted any questions or such to see if anyone knows a way to make the program take its input from my gps receiver. Though it may be as simple as linking the programs expected input device to /dev/USB (or whatever the proper syntax is)

The nasty thing is I had to get the Google Market working on the dev kits virtual device so I could use the virtual device to download a supplementary apk which was required by Navit (a text to speech apk) ...(the market via my tablet couldn't find it, or GPSTether either)

And found this as well, still no joy

androlib.com/android.application.com-gpstether-xAzq.aspx

I'm so new to all this android stuff, 3 weeks, but I'm having a wonderful time playing and experimenting :)

Regards and have fun,

Hi, I know there is a version of heroes 2 for adnroid but I just found a linux version of heroes of might and magic 3 - My idea was - is it possible for a linux version (not emulated one) to be ported for android ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
no idea but i do know about Homam, totally awesome if someone gives it a try. A superb game to have on defy ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
It's nearly impossible to run any closed source PC software on Android. Don't ask about that.

The reason, why there is HOMM2 is that someone has rewritten HOMM2 engine from scratch. That game on Android isn't actually HOMM2, but Free Heroes2: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2/ .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishooo:
Yeah I know that it is almost impossible for closed source to be run on android or hand-held. But I don`t know however - I don`t recall 3DO to have released an official linux version - so i was hoping someone ported it. I haven't downloaded the game yet but I`ll download it and I`ll post an update if it actually contains something helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
Windows, Linux - that doesn't matter. It would have to be open sourced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmadalin:
I found this http://forum.vcmi.eu/portal.php , says it's open source with some files here https://vcmi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vcmi/trunk/ .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollex:
Yes, there is open source port of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and it's VCMI. It works in Maemo (google vcmi maemo or vcmi n900), so why not in Android? I would love to have VCMI in my phone!

It rocks.

I got the camel colored one. I don't think I'll EVER use my bulky Zenus case again.

The snap-on cover gives me a great grip, looks very nice, and can be snapped on the front as well, to protect the glass when transporting it. All four corners are nicely protected, as well as the back. Also doesn't wobble as much when on a flat surface.

Doesn't add too much thickness, and has a nice little ridge around the outside edge that makes a great place to rest a fingertip/thumb. The leather quality is very nice, and the embossed Galaxy Tab and Samsung logos make it look very classy.

I'll shoot some pics when the light is better.

That's the one. I got mine from here:

Here's the black one: http://www.expansys.ca/samsung-gala...ver-black-high-end-leather-1-piece-us-205930/

Took awhile to arrive using the cheap shipping option, like over a month, but then again it was holiday season and bad weather on top of that.

Anypne interested in buying a tan or black snap on case? i dont need them now as using another case.

also, they were rarely used.

Since you're in Vancouver, I'll take the black one off your hands, could always use a spare.
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
Havent been on android in a long while... and cant remember the process.

BUT how do you change your ringtones to using MP3s. I remember that you are suppose to put it in a certain folder, but which one and where in the directory.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
they go in:

/sdcard/audio/ringtones

/sdcard/audio/notifications

/sdcard/audio/alarms
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
the problem is ... theres no sdcard/// well i mean audio subfolder
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Yes, there is. The storage partition is mounted as /sdcard. Just create the audio subfolder and throw your mp3s in there.
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
thanks... I thought I had to put it in the directory with all the original ringtones.
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
There's a little trick if you use winamp:

when playing the ringtone, set it as ringtone:

[Nexus S General] jankyboy:
Odd ringtone behavior

I've noticed an issue with my custom ringtones: the phone's ringtone resets to a default tone by itself.

I have a few mp3 ringtones and notification tones stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications). I will select the ringtone I want in settings, but after a while the phone reverts back to a default ringtone. When I go back to check my settings, none of the custom ringtones are listed. It's as if the phone doesn't see them on the internal SD card.

Most times, a reboot will clear it up; however, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why my custom ringtone settings are lost.

I'm sure the mp3 files are OK, as I've used them before on a variety of android phones.

Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? Any ideas what might cause this issue?

Thanks,

[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Do you keep your contacts on the phone, the sim, or synced with Google? That might provide a clue.
[Nexus S General] D_Rob:
I have had this happen before. Usually as a result of unmounting the internal storage. Easiest fix (doesn't take that long) if your rooted is to just adb push them to the rom. You can do it on a stock rooted rom, then do a titanium backup and in the future it will push them to whatever rom your on. But no, to answer your question, I'm not sure what causes it but it's easier to just push them once and forget about them since they take up so little space.
[Nexus S General] jankyboy:
Everything is synched with Google.

I'll try the root and push to rom solution.

Thanks

[Nexus S General] rashad1:
i have the same problem, and everything's synced to Google as well. Every time I mound my SD and unmount it the ringtones get mixed up or reset.
[Nexus S General] jankyboy:
Looks as if the internal sdcard is unmounting automatically. When I lose my ringtones, looks as if I can't launch any apps I've moved over the sdcard. Strange.
[Nexus S General] zomgzombies:
Ringtone problem...Changes?

I don't know if i'm just drinking too much or if it's doing it on it's own but does anyone notice that the ringtone changes to a different one every day? I Use my own MP3 and they are no longer than 30 seconds but every day, it will set itself to a different tone....hmmm
[Nexus S General] schartzr:
I have noticed that I also notice that my SMS tones also change and this has to do if and when I actually connect to the USB and mount the USB.
[Nexus S General] URPREY:
Same here.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
There seems to be a slew of issues with this phone, of which the list seems to grow by the day. It's a huge deterrent.

Is it my imagination, or are there more issues with this release than a typical phone release? It really supports what I believe was a rushed product by Google/Sammy.
[Nexus S General] zomgzombies:
i love the phone no doubt but the ringtone thing bugs me a lot. i can never tell when my phone is ringing. i been using the same tone forever.....30 days to return it if purchased at full price....thinking thinking thinking.
[Nexus S General] JaMaBBo:
I have the same issue. Well issues being reported. I like the phone, for this being my first dive into Android but damn. I think this might be more of a FAIL then the N1.

I'm really thinking of returning it to Best Buy. But what phone to get? Stock Android is awesome and with fast updates it is a toss up.

Anyone else having the issue with wanting to ditch it but yet what other phone on the market will be stock android?

Well at least we all have a few more weeks to think about it.

[Q] [Bug] Custom ringtones reset to default

Custom ringtones for some contact person will reset to default sometimes, any one same as me? how can I solve it?

use a Dual Mount app

or do not mount the USB at all

transfer everything over WiFi

[Nexus S General] SphericalPuma:
All you need to do is this:

Plug in your nexus s.

In the root of the storage create this:

media

Inside of the media folder create three separate folders titled:

alarms

notifications

ringtones

That will allow your ringtones, etc. to be seen and it is what I currently have set up on my phone and it works flawlessly. Be sure everything is case-sensitive.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Bump. Can anyone confirm if 2.3.1 fixes these ringtone changes? How about notification tones, do they go random? Or Alarm Tones too?
[Nexus S General] carlitos66:
I have updated to 2.3.1 and don't have any of these problems. But I didn't have them before the update either. No changes of the ring tones or notification tonesat all.

[Q] Assigning ringtone to contact (im stumped)

Hi, really sorry if this is a silly question but ive just come froma galaxy s to the nexus s and i cant find anywhere how to set a ringtone to a contact, its been really easy to do on other phones, but cant find where to do it on this one :confused: Thanks.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i do believe you assign a ringtone actually in the contacts profile
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Goto contacts.

Find/select the contact you want to assign a ringtone to.

When the contact and all their numbers are on screen, press the menu button.

Click OPTIONS.

Select the Ringtone drop down menu.

For me, all the ringtone-type files I'd dropped onto my internal /sdcard show up as options, along with the defaults.
[Nexus S General] jadaress1:
Thanks so much, i spent ages trying to find out how to do it to no avail, really helped me out cheers :)
[Nexus S General] zdiddy14:
Just download ringdroid from the market and you cant designate a certain section of the MP3 to use as your ringtone. Or the whole song... whatever you prefer.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
/media/audio/alarms

/media/audio/notifications

/media/audio/ringtones

Also work.

and

/alarms

/notifications

/ringtones

Also work.

They'll show up in their perspective sound lists and not in Music apps.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Can someone try restarting their phone and seeing if their ringtones, alarm tones, and contact specific ringtones switch back to default? I have the 2.3.1 update but this problem persists - ringtones, alarm tones, and contact designated tones continue to randomly switch.

Also, is anyone else having trouble finding their songs in the options when you try to set your ringtone in settings? Is it that you have to put it into a specific folder in your internal mem? Please advise.

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yeah, it's a bit of a convoluted and buried feature.

You can also use the Music player to assign an audio file as the phone's DEFAULT ringtone, but I can't figure out how to use that for an individual. Seems like I could with one of the phones or ROMS I used to use.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I notice the ringtones, alarm tones, contact designated tones change after connecting my USB storage (edit: And after you power off/on your phone). After disconnecting (and rebooting phone), ringtones you've assigned doesn't stick. It reverts back to whatever was default.

Bizarre and highly frustrating. I'm on 2.3.1. Anyone else?

Also, is anyone else having trouble finding their songs in the options when you try to set your ringtone in settings? Is it that you have to put it into a specific folder in your USB storage? Can anyone advise? Thanks
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Is anyone's designated ringtones for contacts changing, as well? In my case, it seems to revert back to default after I either connect my USB Storage to the computer, or reboot the phone (power off/on). In fact, my general ringtone changes as well, and my alarm tones changes.

I'm running 2.3.1. Anyone else still seeing this issue?
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
Both my wife and I have been having ringtone issues. The custom ringtone assigned seems to get lost and when you edit the contact again, there is no ringtone selected. I can't be sure if this was caused by uninstalling ringtones we had downloaded (none of which we were using) but in any case the ringtone should return to default rather than being completely unassigned. The result is that the phone doesn't play a ringtone when called by the customized contact and I have missed several calls this way.

I can't give any better clues to the trigger, at this time.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Darn! Just happened to me on a reboot. Custom ringtone for my contacts switched to something random. I do have the update installed, so it wasn't fixed.

Frack.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
There's already a specific thread for this going on here.

But yes, with 2.3.1, I just saw my assigned custom ringtone for my sister change to "Motion" ringtone. I don't think that's default, is it? Seems random.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
As I posted this I tried mounting USB storage and looking at one of my custom contacts. It was set to nothing!! I tried setting it again and all of my custom ringtones did not appear in the list. When I unmounted USB storage and reedited the contact, the ringtones reappeared and the setting was correct.

I know it says some features won't work when USB is mounted, but I'd expect the phone to work normally (i.e ringtones)
