[Galaxy Tab General] slamorte:
I sync four calendars from my Google account as well as my work Exchange account to my Tab. I just noticed today that all of my appointments after March 12 are displayed as off by one hour (early). For instance - an appointment made from 4-6pm displays on the Tab as 3-5pm. This date coincides with daylight savings time here in the US.

Here's the funny part - the calendar events all have the correct times on both my exchange server and Google server - it is just the Galaxy Tab that is displaying them incorrectly. The times are displayed incorrectly both through the stock Samsung app and the Launcher Pro widget!

Additionally, if I create a new event on my Tab after March 12th, when it syncs to the Google server, the Google calendar displays it as an hour late; i.e. if I create an event from 8am-9am on my Tab, it shows up on Google Calendar as 9am-10am.

I don't get it - anybody have any ideas how I can fix this? It's got to be a problem with the Tab since the problem can be seen both in the stock Samsung App as well as in third-party apps.

I chatted online with the Samsung support - they suggested restarting the device and deleting and resyncing the calendars - no luck with either. I'm already peeved that the calendar app will only display one color for all four of my Google calendars, and now this :mad:

can you please make one for KA6?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
The jump from JL5 to KA5 was very small. It looked like almost all of the resource ids hadn't changed at all. In KA6 the resource ids have changed a lot so porting it to this build is probably going to take a lot longer.

Is there any way to skin the epic lockscreen slider? Love the lockscreen but want to make the circle transparent so I can see my whole background and no one else will know how to unlock the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
Why don't you just set a pattern/password, instead of assuming the person who steals your phone is a complete idiot?
[Vibrant Android Development] ZuluWarrior:
The pattern lock would work for security but its not my main reason for wanting to skin the lockscreen. I'm used to Winmo and being able to edit the images but don't see a way to do that with android.

Hello fellow DVP owners, I've been following all the issues we've had pretty closely and stalking DellCares twitter quite a bit. I know everyone has been focused alot on the issues with it but this is the first official word we've had that Dell is looking to address some of the issues.

emed795 Hi Erik, just wanted to let you know that DVP memory and other issues to be addressed in future sw update. No ETA yet. Thanks, AB 6:00 PM Jan 13th via CoTweet

im_thatoneguy Software update for DVP camera in progress, no ETA on it yet. Let us know how troubleshooting steps worked for you. SV 5:39 PM Jan 6th via CoTweet

Hopefully WiFi is also included in this update........
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
Saw the Twitter post. Hmm, well, another promise. Hope they do something. Of course, we'll have to go through the long, long wait, but this sort of goes with Dell's MO--problems addressed (in part) in the future. At least in my experience with them. It'd be nice to avoid problems at the get-go, but as they say, "Remaking the world, now that is folly."

At least they're not being adamantly silent about it.
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
Too little too late and still no mention of an international release. I've given up on that phone and everyone should at least until MWC. There are alternatives if you can't wait and if you can there will be stuff at MWC.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
The phone works fine for me, can even use wifi with a workaround so I'm quite happy with it. With the DVP being one of only 2 options for T-Mobile US users there really isnt much of a choice if you want a WP7 phone. You guys in Europe have more options to choose from, but if the issues are resovled it will be one of the best WP7 devices. And again MWC may bring new devices but I doubt they will be US bound so again the DVP still looks like a good buy to me. Even the camera can be made to produce good pictures with some adjustment of the settings, so this update will definitely be a plus.
[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
What has the tech world come to when we pay for a premium product and we are forced to accept work arounds to get it to work. I understand that some fixes are always needed but most are usually software related (WP7 being new) but this device seems to have more issues that are directly related to the unit itself.

I have to say every time I hold one I am drawn to it but I have a hard time with a unit that costs this much and has these kinds of issues.

I hope that Dell can get the fixes out there quick so that we can get more of these in people's hands.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I understand your point but is there a perfect device? Even the phone to rule all phones (iphone) has issues (bumper anyone?), the WP7 OS itself has a reproducable bug on every handset with the MP crashing, yet we still use it. Problem with the Dell was the high expectations of the device since it was first leaked, then we had to deal with the release delays, shipping issues, virtually no communication from Dell and then after finally getting the device bugs that affected what could be considered fundamental functions. Probably led many to either give up and purchase something else or return it after receiving it and feeling it didnt live up to the expectation.

However the fact that I am happy to use a workaround does not mean I have accepted the faults and overlook them, I and others have contacted Dell and told them about the issues and as any decent company would they have responded with an upcoming fix (more than we can say for HTC and the pink camera bug on the HD7). This is what I would expect of any company and since Dell has responded I'm OK with a workaround till the fix is released. If there was another bug free device available to me I would have switched to that, but there isnt on my carrier so I still use it as I personally have no other option on T-Mo US. This whole saga could have gone better and will obviously be a factor in any future decision about purchasing a Dell smartphone but for now I feel satisfied with the choice I made, all things considered.
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
I think I am willing to be a bit more forgiving, given that I used to be a Software Developer. I understand the qualms of getting bugs fixed ASAP, but the SDLC doesn't allow it all the time. I am also willing to cut Dell some slack because the guys in the Mobility team have been awesome. Sure, customer service at Dell, as a whole, sucks monkey balls, but once they have you transferred to the right team, they're quite helpful. I think a huge issue for a lot of people is that they don't like talking to people from India, and then that's where all the bashing starts. I guess it depends on your tolerance level?!

If it is a concession, I spoke to someone in the Mobility team yesterday evening and they confirmed that these issues (camera, bluetooth, WiFi, etc.) are known and have been escalated. She did not know about how soon the update would roll out.

I think if they continue to communicate with us early adopters and roll out a software update to address some of these core issues, they'll at least have one happy camper on their side.
[Venue Pro General] goldaar:
I am pretty patient with my devices these days, and with purchasing a first gen device (from a company with little experience in mobile) I am even more forgiving. Worst case scenario, I sell the phone and buy something else, lesson learned. From my experience with Dell (currently and past) they get fixes out, it just takes some time.

I won't be making any of those decisions on this phone until we see the issues with memory and camera fixed (WiFi is much less of an issue for me because I'm in a "4G" zone.) For now, I love the form factor, and I get more questions and "wow's" than anyone else when they see me pull the thing out with the giant DELL logo on the back (teh sex).
[Venue Pro General] Lionstone:
I'm generally happy; I have very few problems. The worst one was Monday the phone locked up while charging overnight so my alarm didn't go off.

I'm much more irritated by Dell's almost total silence on what issues they're aware of, which are being investigated, etc, etc. Heck, the twitter feed is the only confirmation we have that they even consider the RAM reports from the WP7 API an issue to investigate!

Still, the device is very responsive and performs very well as I suck its battery dry on Xbox Live, so I'll hang on to it and wait patiently for updates. :)

Thanks for pestering Dell for us!
[Venue Pro General] xthing:
can you describe the workaround and what it fixes for you?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I disable 3G in the Cellular settings, but I have had 1 crash with that turned off so it may not be a consistent fix.
[Venue Pro General] Saitek009:
That just made my week. Hopefully it comes soon.

efjay, I've been trying your workaround and I think it's working. Thank you!
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Good to hear, don't know why it doesn't work for me anymore but hopefully Dell's fix won't be long.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] romperstomper:
Unfortunately, unlike iOS and Android, WP7, like WinMo before it, still does not accept unsigned certificates.

With iOS and Android, you can choose to accept te unsigned cert after viewing a warning. Microsoft still don't allow this.

To get it working you have to setup an email account that works (gmail/hotmail) and email yourself the root certificate for the exchange domain. You can then install on the device from the email. After that, you can now attach to you Exchange server.

It's a bit of a hassle and one that there's really no reason not to support along with the appropriate warnings.

Hello:

i have another problem related to exchange the user name name of my account has two word as "name surname". When I tried to configurate my excahnge account I cannot introduce any space on the username field.

Does anybody know any trick to solve the problem?

Any registry key to change where user name is stored? As know the automatic system of WP7 detected my username as the first part of my e-mail address (ex. name.surname@domain.com the user name detected is name.surname instead of name surname)

Any trick to force the keyboard to write spaces?

If I do not find a solution I will have to come back to 6.5 as I need my HD2 for work.

thanks in advance for your help.

Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2

I was able to edit the START_ROOT.bat file in Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2 so the it would pause for 120 seconds instead of 60 seconds after the first phone reboot. Then, after the reboot, unplug the USB from the phone and reconnect it. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
there is a 1 click guide on i believe android central that is very easy. all you do is plug in your phone to a cpu download the .zip and open a file, then leave your phone alone for about 5 minutes and its done. it worked for me when z4 failed.. that was the first time i used anything other than z4 and was a little concerned but it was as easy as z4.. if not easier seeing as that z4 caused my phone to lock up a few times while it was in the process

EDIT: Here is the link.. you will need to register at android central to get the file but its very easy.

[Fascinate General] Roblovesbox:
This worked! I did do two things as it would error in the beginning. I changed the pause time in the file on the reboot to 120 seconds instead of the 60 as suggested in one post and I had to unplug my usb cable and plug it back in after the first reboot. Easy none the less, thank you!

Okay...it wont let me edit cause im a newb. The root worked or so I thought but now when I run Titanium backup it says it cant acquire root access. Any Ideas on this anyone?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Check and see if you have the Superuser app in your apps list. If not, download it from the Market, and then see if your apps that require root access work or not.
[Fascinate General] Roblovesbox:
Yes I have the super user APP. The apps are just saying they aren't getting root access. They are in the list as well.

this worked for me, i used it last night
[Fascinate General] the entity:
I was working on this last night. Z4root installs su to system/bin, while the 2nd root method installs to system/xbin. The ota changed the file permissions for su, but left the file in tact. That's why the one click mod will say your rooted (it sees the su file), but apps won't have root access.

I had to go old school and chmod the su file in system/bin rebooted and got root access again.

For anyone that used a one click root method like z4 root, and still hasn't done the ota update un root the phone first!

On the road but I will post instructions on how I re-rooted in a few hours as well as the specific files needed.

*actually from what I recall, any files needed are included in the one click root mentioned above.

**Follow instructions in this post http://forum.androidcentral.com/526222-post739.html

except, when you get to the portion that says

cd /system/xbin , replace that with cd /system/bin

(I believe only z4root users that did not unroot need to change this, or anyone who has su copied to their /bin directory without the root.)

everything is exactly the same... It's much better linking the post than copying the info again.

I just found a article that talks about installing a ffc in the Samsung vibrant. Apparently t-mo didn't change the internals too much from the UK sgs phone.

All they did was swap the camera for a cheaper cam. The UK versions cam is easily swapable with the vibrant one giving you a ffc.

The only thing I'm confused on is that both the article and the install video both talk about specific ROM being needed that provide the functionality for the ffc to be used.

I'm currently using axura and am curious as to what I need to flash in order for this to work

There's a pretty busy thread over in the dev section that has all the information. The main issue you should pay attention to is the banding effect it causes on the rear camera, some people are working on it but its slow going.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
No Axura works great for ffc. The ffc will get some banding in low light conditions (red-lines) but in normal light it is not an issue. Use tango works great you need roughly 1.7mb 3g connection for it to work ok or be on wifi.

I have a thread on how to disassemble. it is easy to install, look up the Siirial thread as well it has alot there

I use the camera (comes from the I9000) in my vibrant and make video calls to my wife it works as good as good as the Iphone..... so those Iphone fags con just go cry :D

You can pm me if you run into any issues
