[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mengo80:
Was anybody else able to fix the SD card issue with the kernel update? I really just want to be able to store stuff on the SD card and am having no luck with anything. :-( :-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you can see a LOST.DIR in /sdcard2 then it looks like the external SD card might be mounted. To confirm, run a mount command in a Terminal like so (you must have busybox on the gTablet).

mount | /system/xbin/grep /dev/block/mmcblk2

Paste the output of the command above here on the board. You should see /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 mounted on /sdcard2.

If you don't, it might either be a kernel issue or a filesystem problem. So, boot up without the external SD card, then, after the system is in a steady state, plug in the SD card. Then, run these commands in a terminal, or via an adb shell. For the first command, you need to install the free Superuser app from Market:

su
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk2

You should be able to see 1 or 2 partitions: On mine, I see

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/block/mmcblk2p1 1 1709 13720703 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/block/mmcblk2p2 1709 1958 1999744+ 83 Linux

You should have at least 1 FAT32 partition. If not, you'll have to create one and format it. You can use Windows or ClockworkMod on another tablet (or a cell phone even, in a pinch) to do it. Whatever the case, I'd like to see the fdisk output.

If fdisk gives you an error like this:

fdisk: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk2': No such file or directory

send me the output of an

ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk*

command, and also run this command

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.log

then transfer the dmesg.log file onto your PC and attach it in a post, so I can look at it. Then, we can check if it is a kernel problem.

This should, I believe, be fixed in the latest pershoot kernels. Also make sure that USB debugging is disabled. I use CyanogenMod 7, and on that firmware, you can go to Settings > Applications > Development, and there turn off USB debugging. You won't be able to use adb after this, however.

The solution has been posted on the slatedroid forum and also on the cyanogenmod forum. On CM7, we have the exact opposite problem. On CM7, the external SD card is where apps can be installed and where they store stuff by default. If you want CM7 to act like the other firmwares and install apps and stuff on the internal SD card instead, you have to make changes to the /system/etc/vold.fstab file. We can get to that later.

GB via USB cable on Win7 PC

I flashed the new kernel from pershoot and now see a drive E & a drive F,

So just to be clear I can see both the internal SDCard and my brand new 32GB SDCard when I connect my gTab to my Win7 pc via USB cable.

I used this guide

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/viewsonic-gtablet-technical/13811-rom-howto-vegan-tab-gingeredition-stable-rc1-most-popular-rom-gtablet.html

I love XDA and the great community here, I'm posting so that any new users know that this works to fix the sdcard issue. I'm running VEGAn Tab CM7 GingerEdition with custome TegraII boot animation and now the "boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-043011" kernal.

All the files and a decent step by step is listed on the link.

I am new to phone modding and have been reading the forums for almost 2 weeks, making sure I can absorb as much information about installing Froyo and any subsequent roms there after.

So for my Question, I plan to use Odin to upgrade to DK28 and once I am done and have a successful transfer (optimistically speaking), do I have to do anything to the phone to make it live or does it straight up work and I can dial, txt, send recieve email once configured?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
nope, you won't need to do anything more..... once Odin says "pass", you're home free.... just let the phone reboot, sign in to your Google account, and you'll be all set.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_spektakel:
Hi there,

i hope someone here has alreday disassembled/assembled his/her N1 successfully and can help me.

I had some serious scratches in my N1's body so I decided to buy a new one and to exchange it by myself. Everything worked well so far, my N1 is looking brand-new, everything works, no issues (was a tough job with a lot of critical situations :p). I discovered that I missed to put one piece back into position while assembling the device (silly me :D) - it seems to work (no chatter, flaps etc.). Nevertheless, I have a bad feeling cause HTC must have had a plan for this piece. Does someone now where it was located?

Missing piece:

Size: 9mm x 4mm

Material: Rubber

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bleeter:
I have an ECR-K10AWE official Samsung Galaxy Tab Keyboard purchased in Australia. The printed keys are US keyset. However, they keycodes it is transmitting are UK (for example, 'at' is under 'double quote', and.. well... instead of 'hash/US pound' I get 'UK pound' symbol..

The only place that this really bugs me is on twitter. But as I walked past the shop I bought it from the other day, I thought I'd ask the sales guy if he'd heard of others having similar issues. Unfortunately, not only did he tell me he hadn't because no one else had bought it yet, he had in fact received a recall notice 'Sounded like some firmware issue'. Which would near tally with my experience. Unfortunately, he'd only heard of a recall not a replacement program.

I'm wondering if anyone's heard of a way to flash the keyboard, or some other hack, so that it transmits US character set? I'm not particularly interested in rooting the GTab itself until I get a GTab2 or similar nextgen device. Far more interested in messing with the keyboard firmware, given the lack of promise of a 'proper' working one coming forth from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] foxmeister:
I don't believe the keyboard is transmitting "key codes" as such - if I change the language on my Tab to something else, my keyboard acts as if it were in that language.

Have you tried setting your Tab to a different locale, perhaps US English, to see if it makes a difference?

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bleeter:
I knew I left out some vital info. DOH!

This happens no matter which English locale variant I use. US English, NZ English, SA English, AU English all behave as if the keyboard had UK/IE English characters printed on top of them.

edit:

It might be noteworthy that this unit, sold in AU, has a three language manual; English, French and Spanish. Usually over this way we score English and two or three far east Asian languages in our manuals.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mmbika:
I can confirm issue is not with Keyboard but with tab SW itself. I tried Apple Wieless Keyboard and Samsung Keyboard Dock both and got the same results with both. @=" and #=UK Pound.

Both keyboards can't be wrong and so Tab version in Australia is to be blamed. Hope it gets fixed in next upgrade.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bleeter:
Thanks for this. It made me remember to try my Freedom Pro keyboard on it (haven't used it in a while). This uses a third party driver, and does correctly pick up the US keymap (even though the only English layout on offer from the driver is enUK).

I might try some other BT keyboards I have access to, see what transpires. But given your report, I'm inclined to agree this does seem like a Tab side issue, rather than the keyboard. I'll get back to my supplier on this, he's a bit more switched on than your average phone store geek. He's frustrated that Sammy won't explain why there's a recall on the keyboards, this may give him a bit more ammo.

Cheers :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erythrophilia:
Hello all, I'm totally newb to flashing ROM so please take it easy if the question is redundant. I have flashed and got this Gingerbread ROM from MDJ (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777) running perfectly fine. In his instruction, he uses the 250MB partition. So after installation of a lot of apps, my system storage is listed as:

Total: 250MB, Free: 123MB. (I got these numbers from Quick System Info)

I guess the ROM only used 127MB? I'm thinking changing the flash.cfg file like this,

From "system ya 250M" to "system ya 130M" so that would give me a few more MB in the userdata partition.

Is that gonna break something I don't know about?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
First of all that will wipe your existing installation / data clean. Hope you understand that. Secondly, it should work fine but doesn't leave you much space at all on your system partition. I would add a little more- maybe 135M or 140M.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erythrophilia:
I see. I already have a CWM backup so the data won't be a problem. So that means the size specified in flash.cfg isn't directly linked to other things? I mean like if I change it, and the ROM boots up, it looks for the right size, and then if the original size isn't there, it will refuse to boot.

But anyway, I'll experiment with it later today. Thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] acho07:
When you download clockwork recovery on your computer, in the extracted folder there should be a file "flash.cfg" open that in notepad and change the values to whatever you require then flash it using the daf.exe via usb flasher in magldr.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bamit99:
Just adding this information if someone stumbles onto this article again :

Description of flash.cfg format

===============================

1. each line define one partition

2. maximum number of partitions is 16

3. order of partitions are same like lines in the file

4. line format: <partition name> <flags/type> <size> <data filename>

partition name - up to 15 chars, shown in MTD later

size - can be related to filesize: "filesize", "filesize+10M", "filesize+10b",

or have fixed size: "10M", "100b"

[M - means Megabytes, b - menas blocks (each NAND block is 128kbytes)]

can be "allsize" for auto size partition.

flags/type - can be different values:

types:

"ya" - YAFFS2 partition. MAGLDR can show root directory context or read kernel/initrd from it

"raw" - RAW data.

flags:

"ro" - disable add extra 5% to partition size and count bad blocks into size

"boot" - this partition contains zImage and initrd.gz for NAND boot (it must have YAFFS2 type)

"asize" - auto size. this partition will use all available space after other partitions. only one partition can have this type.

"nospr" - binary data have not spare data. (2048+0 format), otherwise 2048+64 format used.

"nors" - use exactly specified size for partition. no resize is done.

"hr" - this partition must be erased if user select "AD HardReset" in MAGLDR menu.

different flags and types separated via "|" symbol, like "boot|ya|ro"

In the process, as it would when you plug it in, the screen would turns on.. This is terribly annoying as the phone never sleeps! is there anything out there that can remedy this??!?!? like turning off the USB, or an app that puts it to sleep and leaves it asleep no matter what??

or is there a command that tells the phone to turn on i can intercept?

Ironically, the worst thing you can do in this situation is also the first thing that people seem to want to try: Turn the damn thing on. If there is water on any electrical component when you turn it on, that component will fry. For good. Do as others have said and as soon as physically possible put it in a bag of rice. Leave it for a few days. It'll be fine as long as you don't turn it on before its dried out.

Hi everyone,

Got a bit confused now. I've installed some apps from the market and when I go to "My apps" I see a list of installed apps.

Have you tried to restart your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Haoru44:
Hello everybody,

I have a problematic that I will explain you :

I'm working in a company which rents cell-phones (only Samsung Galaxy S, it's why I post in this part of the forum), with a software installed on these.

But the problem is that we have a lot of SGS, and not a lot of outlets, so when we need to recharge a huge part of these phones it's a mess.

We want to find a charger with at least 4 USB ports, like this :

Kensington 4 Port USB Charger, you can find features on amazon (I can't post external links, because I'm new on the forum)

or

Lenmar ACUSB4 Adapter Powered (Also on amazon)

Or more, like this :

Plugable 10 USB Port Power Adapter (still amazon)

or

Plugable 7 Port High Speed USB 2.0 Hub with 3A Power Adapter

But I have another problem :

I need to have a charger which supplies more than 500mA per port/device, because it will take too much time for charging, and if a customer want to rent a phone quickly, I also have to charge it quickly.

I found this :

Cambrionix c3-Case (features on the Cambrionix's website)

but I'm sure it will be very expensive and I don't have the features so I don't know if I can charge 16 SGS, with a least 1 Amp per port.

We tried to charge the SGS with a Nokia charger with 1.2 Amp, and it was much faster than with the OEM charger from Samsung. But it's impossible to find a hub charger with 1.2 Amp port, because an USB cable can just support 1 Amp.

So I want to mix those 2 ideas :

1) to use the maximum capacity of an USB cable (1 Amp) but for each port and for each device

2) to charge, at least 4 devices in the same time (but 8 or 10 will be better)

Do you understand my problem, and can you give me some ideas or names of products if you know some.

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] elviroo:
why dont you use a high power usb hub?

why dont you buy reserve batteries? you can get them cheap and external chargers too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Buy original batteries and external chargers, easiest and fastest way to do this than to a rely on a 1A charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Haoru44:
I thought about high power usb hub, but the problem is that generally this kind of hub, because they are plugged on a computer, can't give more than 500 mA per port/device.

We don't want to buy reserve batteries, because with the number of SGS we have, it will be a mess. I mean if we have 100 reserve batteries we will never know if one battery is charged or not...

An external charger means that we need to give that with the phone to the renter and we don't want to burden our customers with another device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Haoru44:
I'm thinking about another solution :

Maybe I can buy a powered USB 3.0 hub, because USB 3.0 can provide 900mA per port.

But I'm not an electronic engineer and I have a question :

I found powered USB 3.0 hub with 7 ports, it's written that each port can provide 900mA, so for this it's ok. But it's also written that the Power Adapter is 5V/2A.

So i'm wondering if I plug 7 devices, do they will share 2A together (so it's mean each port will provide 2A / 7 devices = 300mA per device) or there is no relation between the amperage of the power adapter and the amperage that ports can supply, so they will effectively provide 900mA each ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] elviroo:
of couse every port can provide 900mA ;) but not all at the same time. they share the 2A. maybe there is some more current from the pc if its connected (+500mA ?)

fact is: if there are 7 devices connectedyou will never have 900mA at every device. i guess max 500mA at 7 devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Logicalstep:
At the end of the day the phone only needs a basic 5 Volt supply and it'll charge.

Why not just buy some USB sockets from RS check out the wiring diagrams for USB and the buy a 5 Volts high current PSU from Ebay.

Something like this:
