Hey guys

I have one of the Telstra Galaxy Tabs, and basically want to work a few things out with it.

First off I gather, with mention of all the carrier-specific or gsm/CDMA Specific ROMs, this has something to do with a radio or some such being included?

The Telstra "Next G" Network, which the Tab is used on, is basically 3g on 850mhz. Which of the types would this come under?

I have "Some" experience with flashing/ROMs/etc, namely on my Desire, so I am no expert by any means (Defo wanting to learn, and have learnt a lot from here so far :D) but I do have a small amount of experience.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
So, the community round here will answer questions for people that have obviously not bothered to search and ask the same stupid crap over and over and over, yet someone who has done a LOT of research, and is legitimately confused over a terminology issue (because technically it ISNT GSM or CDMA if you learn how the networks actually work) and just wants a simple answer to a simple question, just gets totally ignored?

Great to see guys, Great to see.

850 would be like att
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
GSM radio hardware is largely irrelevant, the hardware does the heavy lifting, the firmware doesn't care that it is, as long as it supports the right protocols.

Telstra uses a GSM/HSDPA/WCDMA network. In most cases, this is the case if your device has a SIM card.

The Tab sold here is essentially the standard UK version. If Telstra has an 850/2100Mhz HSDPA version then that could potentially be different. If you can root it using SuperOneClick, then run a complete firmware backup and try updating with another GSM firmware (e.g. RotoHammers JME) and see how you go. Before doing so, check that the device is unlocked, check if it

can

be rooted, determine the existing firmware/modem versions and the CSC version. It may be a custom firmware, it may not.

Your "LOT of research" was obviously fairly deficient if it hadn't ruled out Telstra using a CDMA network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstra
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Hey mate, i have a telstra tab, on original firmware (jj3 i think) i would only ever get 3g..

After flashing rotos jme + the phone.bin, i now get hspa most the time.

Rotos firmware works perfectly, but as always backup everything
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Well, The network you are referencing is actually the "Telstra 3g" Network used only in the capital cities around here. The network my Tab is used on/made for is the "Next G" Network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G is the specific network. As you can see, it is technically not GSM at all, it is UMTS, and actually replaced our old CDMA network. So, this is where my confusion was coming in. But, if I have this correct, it is used as a basic term, meaning GSM = Sim Card and CDMA = No Sim Card (like our old CDMA network, phone itself is coded to the number/network type thing, which to be honest I didn't realise still even existed) yeah?

Cheers for clearing that up :)

As for the freqs, if I do a *#2263# the 3 WCDMA bands that are starred are 850mhz 1900mhz and 2100mhz. The GSM Fallback shows GSM 850 GSM 900 DCS 1800 PCS 1900 all starred. (Yes I did realise this before, I explained why I was confused with the terms hehe) The main band I have to worry about really is 850mhz though, on the WCDMA side, as you would have seen from the link.

Well, the device can be rooted with Z4Root at least, that is what I have used to root the device. This is exactly what I intend to try, once I am sure I understand everything. Does not hurt to read and re-read until one is definately comfortable with the steps, and I like to understand what every part is that I am doing.

Just to be 100% sure, that is the one here? And you are on the Next G Network? (I assume so with the 850mhz band etc, I thought this would work, but doesn't hurt to be sure I am looking at the right one you are talking about hehe.)

I can confirm the original firmware is JJ3, with phone calling capabilities etc.

Of course, backups always come first, always. :D

Thank you heaps for the info. :)

Also, if there is any part of this device's firmware etc that would be helpful in any way to the devs, I would be happy to extract anything needed from a rotobackup or whatever. I won't be flashing it straight away, and definately not before a full backup anyway.

(edit:spelling)
[Galaxy Tab General] jnrdavo:
HI mate, how did you go with the flash?

I'm thinking of doing this as well, but just want to see if anybody has noticed any difference (for the better that is).
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
I have n Australian telstra tab on the next g network, and flashing a rom was the best thing I ever did

Keen to know what is the best rom for us here down under, i'm, off to root me SGT.

Cheers

Kosti
[Galaxy Tab General] snoopXR6:
For the optus tab any euro rom will work i started with the modaco rom and kernal then moved to the overcome rom and kernal. Both ran prefectly just make a backup to be safe.
[Galaxy Tab General] Kostiz:
Thanks heaps!

I did try to root it, and used OneClick, when 1st time round it sort of worked, then I tried it again with the rageagainstcage option and busybox installed this time round.

Next is off to grab overcome rom, will try and do a backup but only have a 1G card atm

Again thanks and sorry to the OP for the hijack

PEACE

Why should Google step in?
[General Topics] Dirk:
There was a good article on Fudzilla yesterday calling on Google to step in to prevent furthur fragmentation of the Android platform.

I can't reach the site from work to put a link up but perhaps some other kindly soul could add it to the thread for me?
[General Topics] lude219:
I wouldn't be shocked if Google had their hands in the cookie jar as well...that's why they're keeping a hush-hush on the issue. :D;)

Sure, android is "open source," but who will the manufacturers call for support? Google.

So support is free, right? Nah, Google probably charge for licensing fee (of the brand Google) and probably support fee, etc. to manufacturers.

This is nothing more than some backdoor wheelin' and dealin' where everyone (both google and mfgrs) reap the benefits of the so-called "open source" OS. Google make some money from manufacturers for the support of the OS and manufacturers make some nice dough in return by forcing/imposing phantom fees through carriers for OS updates (and carriers get their money by nickel-n-diming customers on different tier plan and features). From the end-user perspective, everything should be free, but Google and manufacturers have thousands of mouths to feed and I'm sure their R&D isn't done through charity work. :p
[General Topics] wang1404:
http://fudzilla.com/mobiles/item/21611-android-could-be-killed-off-by-suppliers

there you go. another article that's bashing the suppliers. While its true that maybe google charge the updates but since its open source, they don't need to when they can just charge on the market entries?

Also samsung just denied that they are charging on the updates

[XPERIA X8 General] erTracina:
Hi everyone, after some attempts to flashing 2.1 on my x8 (it's a prototype) i can't boot again, i get the sony ericsson logo that loops forever..

I've tried to repair it using seus, but it says that there are no updates for my phone and i don't get any repair options..

So i'm trying with bin4ry's flash tool, but with no luck, i've almost put every rom found here on xda but after the flashing process ends with no errors, i reboot the phone and nothing happens. the only thing i can access is xrecovery, but I have no backup to recovery from.

can someone help me??

Cheers

Luca
[XPERIA X8 General] savin2:
It also happen to me. Did you tried with pc companion? Go to software update, and click repair. This will install a clean android 2.1
[XPERIA X8 General] erTracina:
thanks for the reply, but i can't connect to pc companion because the phone doesn't start, so i can only go in flash mode, no debug or usb..:(
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
Try to find prototype (brown) fw somewhere... if you know someone with setool box, i think he can get you prototype fw from support area...

Sent from my X8 with bootloader removed
[XPERIA X8 General] erTracina:
mmmh i'm looking for a brown firmware but still with no luck..

but having xrecovery working is not possible to just recovery with someone else's backup?
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
ne slušajte purgera ;) :hiha:

btw. use flasher.
[XPERIA X8 General] erTracina:
? i'm using the flasher, the point is to find a prototype compatible rom i think...

When you go to flash your phone with X10FlashTool, select the option wipe data user, (or something like that, i can't remember now).. at least, it works for me.. XD
[Streak 5 Accessories] Krad:
Just got the Otterbox Defender case and was wondering if anyone found an adapter that is that same as the one on the dell suction cup mount?

I have a few proclipusa mounts for older devices I would like to convert for this purpose, either with glue, screws or solder...

thanks
[Streak 5 Accessories] ameiurus:
If you look at the belt clip you will see it has a universal mount slot on it. I mounted one of those in my vehicle and use the holster to hold the Streak. Works well I think.
[Streak 5 Accessories] devdarshan:
Can you post a photo please?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Here are pics of the car mount stalk and the bracket on the back of the part that holds the phone. bracktron makes mounts that have the same bracket as does rocketfish. The image on the left is the bracket, the one on the right the end of the stalk.

See this review at StreakSmart for pics of the back of the Defender case showing the mount attachment.

I picked up a Rocketfish branded car mount with the same bracket at Best Buy for $10. It is almost identical to the Dell mount bracket.

I tried the new adw launcher ex and I like what I am able to do with it so I decided to use it as my default launcher. Before setting it as the default, should I remove the widgets from the senseui screens that I have configured on sense before doing this? I guess what I am asking is will it still load those widgets from the sense desktop into memory when I boot the phone?

Hi guys, I am trying to improve the gps on my phone and have been reading up quite a bit. I have applied the hardware fix but now looking into software.

I have read a number posts about using the JL2 modem but I believe that it came out or the American market, so am not sure if I should be using that on my UK Galaxy S. It is currently on I9000XXJPY.

I have tried the gps fix.

Thanks.

bug?

excellent, the only possible bug i noticed is in the puzzle unlock screen: there is not the usual layout of tiles correctly placed in the background, but just a single tile all over the screen...a design feature? not annoying, anyway.

Very good job, i also noticed the number of icons that have been replaced.

For your information, the I9000 stays quite a lot of time with the "S" picture after boot...please be patient, i was almost going for the three buttons....be patient, and it is worth to!

:eek: wow absolutely great theme !! The only thing I do not like is the background of the clock in most of the lock screens ... The colour does not really fit the rest of the theme and does not go wel with a lot of background .. A clock without background would suit the theme better I think .. But that's purely personal . Keep up the good work !!

Hi

Brilliant theme, love it. Just wondering whether you could change the framework a little bit so it's more like Dena's - in that the icons stay black when selecting them, like the ones at the top in contacts and Music Player. Just a small suggestion, you don't have to if you don't like it. I would do it myself if I knew how.

Thanks, Ash.
