Okay, I think I got it. You flashed Gingervillan without backing up your stock ROM?

Here are links to the pre and post OTA stock ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
If you want to flash a non-GB ROM, you need the CWM2 (which is what you did). It sounds like after you put this recovery back though, you tried to flash a GB backup? This won't work (since anything GB requires CWM3).

If you have the CWM2 recovery, just go download any Froyo-based ROM you want to use, place the zip on you SD card, boot into recovery, and apply the zip.

nah just tried to flash a 2.2 rom through cwm2.5 no backup will only flash gb backup through 3.0.0.5

I have noticed that my G2's WiFi connection runs VERY slow. I get speeds of 2mb/s while on a computer I get 25+mb/s. I get the same ping on both devices. Is this a hardware or software limitation that can be solved by a kernel fix?

O.O I don't really post on here but I'm getting pretty good spores on wifi around 12 mps down and 8 up.. would post pic but apparently says the pic is not a valid image format 8(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand0m_insanity:
There is a thread about the G2/DZ having WiFi antenna issues. This happens when you use the phone in landscape mode. Signal bars drop significantly. In my case, I got totally disconnected (but I had poor WiFi signal strength that time). However, when I remove my hand from the top part of the device, signal strength and speed return. This could probably be your issue, since I really get good speed from my DZ. I could even stream movies over WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jigga0o7:
Do you have wifi calling enabled? Try disabling it and restarting. You'll likely see regular speeds again. Works for me every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
Nope, I will be looking at the bcm4329 source when I get my computer running to see if I can boost the speed a little.

This may also be a router combatibility problem. So we can narrow it down can people post this:

Router brand/model

Wireless B/G/N

Wpa wep or no security

Hidden access point (yes/no)

And if you are having problems
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jigga0o7:
Router brand/model: Airlink 300N

Wireless B/G/N: Wireless N

Wpa wep or no security: WPA

Hidden access point (yes/no): no

And if you are having problems: Only when wifi calling is enabled. Must disable that and restart in order to get expected speeds. For example, it drops from standard 12mbit to like 1mbit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
Oh yeah forgot to post mine...

Airport Extreme

Wireless N

WPA2

APN is not hidden

Slow
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
I have the same problem with my G2.

Wi-Fi is on all the time when I'm at home, as is Wi-Fi calling because the signal is very weak here. When I first connect to Wi-Fi it's very fast. Normally I get approximately 17mbps down, 3.5mbps up. However, it seems like the connection "goes stale" after a while and I end up only getting about 2-3mbps both up and down.

It's not consistent though. Sometimes it gets slow right away, other times it will take a couple hours. But it always drops to the 2-3mbps range consistently. Plus I always have issues with the connection after it drops in speed: No connection errors, sometimes unresponsive, etc.

To fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off and back on, but that gets to be a hassle because I have to do it every time I want to use my phone.

It has nothing to do with holding the phone in vertical or horizontal orientation, or signal strength, because even when I'm using the phone right next to the router it still happens. I never had this issue with my Cliq, but it didn't have Wi-Fi calling, which I'm thinking is the cause. Though I haven't tested it to see if it still happens with Wi-Fi calling off.

It happens with any ROM, though currently running CM7 Nightly 27.

Anyone have an explanation, or a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
Update: After testing it seems to only happen when wifi calling is enabled. Although I have to turn wifi off and back on to fix it. Simply turning off wifi calling doesn't fix it.

The main installation for swype went perfectly fine and it shows it being installed. I can go into language and keyboard settings and its there. The problem is when I go to Keyboard Types: Swype doesnt show up as an option to use. Ive done the tutorial and it works fine. I just cant find a way to enable it to use for text messaging as its not showing up as an input option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qllkevuoi:
copy the apk in a folder on your pc and extract it

go inside the folder /lib/armeabi/ and you find this file

libSwypeCore.so

copy this file on your leo sd card

boot up android and with rootexplorer cut/paste the library file inside the folder /system/lib

reboot

after this, swype should be in your inputmethod choices

If the copy of this file is not allowed (and the system show up a message like "read only filesystem" and such things), I think you have to do this operation with a terminal with root permission (inside android, on your pc with adb shell, on a linux pc, and so on)

Otherwise, the way that can't fail is:

on your pc (a linux pc would be better) mount the system file in a folder, do the cut/paste operation, umount the system file, reboot android

Hope this help (and hope you understood what I mean ... sorry for my english)

Regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lord60:
kind of crazy way to do it (previous post)

The correct way would be that once you install swype, you have to enable it, before you can select it as an input option.

Once installed, go to settings, then language and keyboard, and simply put a check mark in the swype box.

Then go to something like messaging, long press the text input box, and then select input settings. you should then see swype as an option.

Happy swyping.

if it works, throw some thanks my way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeridindirtbiker:
Thats the problem though. Once installed, I enabled it. Everything seems golden at this point right? Tutorial screen pops up, blah, blah, blah. Go into messaging, text input options and theres all the input options displayed

*Qwerty

*Phone keypad

*Compact Qwerty

But Swype doesnt show up at all as an option

. The radio button is still selected with Qwerty. I followed the previous posters solution though and it now works. Still doesnt show up in the Keyboard Types which is odd but at least its working.

Below you'll find a "step by step" tutorial on how to flash your Samsung Galaxy Tab Firmware to the European version ( unbranded firmware ) and therefore enabling the phone calls option ( and 3G data + 850/1900Mhz WCDMA ) Tested and working for the following tabs: Bell, Rogers.

What do you need?

Download the following package:

http://rapidshare.com/files/444576369/Samsung_TAB_Euro_Flash_Package.7z

What's in it?

Kies_2.0.0.11011_16_5.exe

Odin3 v1.31

P1000XWJJ4

P1000XXJK5

modem_bell_i9000

Preparation:

A. After downloaded the package and extracted with 7zip Install and then

reboot

: Kies_2.0.0.11011_16_5.exe (this will install properly drivers x86 or 64 depending on your OS configuration, needed for your Tab and Odin to communicate correctly ).

B. Extract Odin3_v1.31_PITupdate and put the all the files contained in P1000XWJJ4 into Odin3 v1.31 source folder.

C. Set you Samsung Tab into "Download mode" ( Hold volume down and power button until the device boot up. You'll see a yellow android sign and some warning text like :do not turn off target) and connect it to your PC with the USB cable.

D. Start Odin3 v1.31.exe and make sure that the com post is yellow highlighted and check off

Re-partition

.

E. Load the following files as shown in the screenshot below:

F. Hit Start and then relax, hopefully it is going to be ok and in about 2. min and 50 you'll get a green highlight and pass stamp in the same Odin screen which will also reboot the Tab. It will be In Russian, but not to worry. keep reading below.

G. Turn offf the tab and set it to download mode again. Transfer over the Odin folder the P1000XXJK5.tar file re-start Odin, Connect the phone.

H. Leave the "Re-partition" unticked and load into "PDA" the tar file. Hit "Start" and wait again about 2min and 50 sec, you'll get the same green pass and the tab will reboot.

I. This is the final step. now you are going to flash the tab with the right Modem files. Again like Put the Tab into download mode unpack the modem_bell_i9000.zip into Odin folder then start Odin up and select "phone". Load the modem.bin up and hit Start. Wait for the Green pass and you are DONE!!! :cool::D;)

[note]In order to have Internet and mms going you need to set the right APN settings. Google your provider for specifics.[/note]

Bell canada has the following Settings:

Tutorial By: Neuropass @Newage-os.com How to flash the Samsung Galaxy Tab FW to enable phone calls

Original Poster: clubtech @XDA
[Galaxy Tab General] coolairG1:
Questions:

1/ Does the tab need to be rooted first?

2/ Does this method work for any U.S. and Canada Tab? Or is this for a specific carrier/brand? (I plan to buy a Sprint Galaxy Tab from a friend and it is rooted)
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
HI,

1. No you it doesan't need to be rooted because you are going to re-intall and all new firmware.

2. It sohould work for every device is US and Canada as far as i know. You might want to look a little deeper in the forum and see if you find other info. Succesfully tested with the following Carriers: Bell, At&t, T-Mobile, rogers.
[Galaxy Tab General] anielk77:
I have a us sprint tab cdma will it work?
[Galaxy Tab General] rsmurdoch:
So this will let you use voice and 3g on T-Mobile?

Does this contain bootloader lock?
[Galaxy Tab General] ajamils:
I would like to know about this as well. Just got the Tab today and would love to have voice future with T mobile 3g.
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
It should work on sprint tabs... No bootlock
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
If anyone is brave enough to actually try this on their Sprint Tab please let us know how it turns out.

[Galaxy Tab General] themaster1978:
So to reiterate, 3g/hspa AND voice work on this build without rotos modem switcher, and it is not breaking the imei??? I am using T-Mobile US. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Neuro - glad you edited your prior post to reflect that otherwise you would've had a lot of unhappy campers with shiny new bricks ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
I hit "thanks" button rather than "quick reply" lol

It won't brake the imei. It has nothing to do with it. I think you can brake the Imei only with a wrong unlocking network procedure.
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
Edited again. It seems that it was successful on spring tabs. read couple posts back. link to the Clubtech topic.
[Galaxy Tab General] rsmurdoch:
So again still no answer on will it allow voice and 3g on tmobile without modem switcher
[Galaxy Tab General] themaster1978:
Still want to know does it work on tmous with call and 3g/hspa without rotos modem switcher???
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
Man you need to do some reading. I can't answer what i haven't tested. Look into 30 pages of the original post for it. I know someone mentioned about tmobile.
[Galaxy Tab General] rsmurdoch:
"and therefore enabling the phone calls option ( and 3G data + 850/1900Mhz WCDMA ) that has been purposely stripped out by certain providers, Ex: Bell, At&t, T-Mobile, rogers etc.."

I did read and your description says it does work voice and 3g so we all want to confirm this. And why are you making a tutorial on something you havent even tried

Sent from my Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
humm...

I have a Bell tab and flashed it with the procedure above. i posted this guide for people who are beginners with flashing stuff in order to help them and make the whole thing simpler to understand. The Providers I listed above are the ones that have been tested and worked with this firmware.

You need to dig into the forum and find out if it works on sprint tab. Or do you want me to do it for you??????
[Galaxy Tab General] gerrylum:
I'm pretty sure this is just a tutorial for the same thing that's been around for a while which means you will NOT get voice+3G on T-mobile without the modem switcher or getting rid of your IMEI.
[Galaxy Tab General] neuropass:
Yes correct. I just made This tutorial to make the process clear seeing that all the procedures written here were all confusing.
[Galaxy Tab General] unkie_s:
If this an answer to my question I have a tmobile tab and yes I have searched and only found that voice only works with 2g on tmobile but you are saying it works with 3g and voice just confirming since you posted it
[Galaxy Tab General] gerrylum:
No, you'll only get voice/2g on Tmobile.
[Galaxy Tab General] crash6:
Im will Bell

Any idea what the charges will be for voice / text messaging if I only have the tablet data plan on my sim?

Just curious.
[Galaxy Tab General] rsmurdoch:
Thanks that is what I thought but description read different. OP should amke this clear in description.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
That "or" should be AND.

T-mo users can have voice and EDGE speed data by flashing the the JME v.4 ROM and Roto 2g modem.

T-mo users can have 3g data only (no voice), by doing nothing except buy the data plan with the tab.

T-mo users can use a sim card with an existing data plan by doing nothing except mess with the efs folder contents.
[Galaxy Tab General] supergadgetman:
I have an unlocked At&t tab with a data only Tmobile sim. I'm not interested in phone features since my sim is data only, but is there a way for me to get 3g speeds? As it stands Im getting EDGE data, but if I flash a different modem would that allow me to get 3g speeds with an At&t tab using a tmobile sim?

TIA
[Galaxy Tab General] pic.micro23:
Your hardware (850Mhz...) does not work on TMOBILE 3G (900Mhz..) So the only common thing between ATT and TMOBILE will be EDGE. :P

[Galaxy Tab General] dubie76:
US carriers do not have a GT that makes calls. So if this is done, does it go "around" the network since none of us have any call minute plans? How does this work?
[Galaxy Tab General] AnyMal:
It'll turn your Tab into 7" phone, that's all. Put in SIM from your regular phone and it'll work just the same.
[Galaxy Tab General] Stevenjcarney:
I've got a rather good question. (And before it happens, don't ask "Why would you want to do that?!" Because I don't feel like answering that.)

How do you reverse this. I can't find a single ROM that doesn't have the phone feature, and frankly, I have a phone for a phone. I don't need my tablet to be a phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Any stock rom from US and Canadian carriers will not have the phone feature.

BTW there was no question from you in your post.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
Your sig says you have a T-mobile Galaxy Tab. Assuming it's a U.S. version and you haven't flashed a European or Asian Rom the Phone feature (dialer) won't be on the Tab.

North American Tabs do not come with the phone dialer or modem.

If yours has a dialer and modem grab one of the stock T-Mobile U.S. roms from the dev section and flash it with Odin

That will delete the phone functions.

Can't Seem to Flash

Hello;

This is a wonderful tutorial, full of graphics and detailed instructions... Kudos to the individual who posted all of the screen shots.

I've tired working through this particular list of instructions and I can't seem to get past Step F (Clicking start on the russian firmware) Odin keeps giving me the following in the activity log:

<ID:0/008> Added!!

<ID:0/008> Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..

<ID:0/008> File analysis..

<ID:0/008> Enter CS for MD5..

<ID:0/008> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<ID:0/008> Please wait..

<ID:0/008> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/008> MD5 hash value is invalid.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

What could cause this? I am running windows 7 32 bit, my tablet has been rooted (but I can't seem to be able to remove the root.) Kies keeps telling me that it doesn't recognize my device. I can't seem to install firmware of any sort at all!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
