Given the lack of voltage it may not work at all. You need enough voltage to overcome any resistance in the circuit or the result is a lot of nothing, or just heat. Been awhile since electronics school though. :)

Sent from the awesome ZTab :D
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
I wouldn't be charging while using the Gtab. It would be powered off so there would be no drain and should only be charging. In my layman thinking, it would be a safe charge but only at a slower time rate than a 2 amp charge. If it won't damage my Grab, I'll try it with it powered off. Is this a safe go?
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I have one from a tv. It does not work. It makes the charging indicator flicker...
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Given the nature of electricity, always a good idea to know what you're talking about before you recommend a course of action, since improper advice can result in death and destruction of equipment. A two-lecture treatment of electricity in physics class that basically boils down to V=IR and P=VI is not sufficient for giving advice about things like this.

Please do not plug a 24V charger into a device that is supposed to take 12V. Bad things are likely to happen. At best, the GTab has internal protection circuitry to shut things off and prevent internal damage. If not, you're going to ruin the battery or cause things to blow up. It's like plugging your 120V hair dryer into a 240V outlet in Europe. Much smoke to follow.

Power (wattage) is not the relevant issue here. There are actually quite a few things that matter, but for the purposes of this discussion, voltage is the most important one. A 12V 1.2A charger *may* not be able to supply enough power to both run and charge the GTab, but it is unlikely to cause problems. I don't know the internals of the GTab specifically, but my guess is that it regulates the charging current, meaning you could also probably get away with a 12V 3A charger, though if the internal circuitry of the GTab is poorly designed, that might shorten your battery life.

As to your specific concern about heat on the 1.2A charger, heat production is a function both of the efficiency of the particular charger and the amount of power it produces. It's likely the 1.2A charger wouldn't get as hot as the 2A charger, given that its power output is 60% as much, unless it was significantly less efficient. Assuming, of course, that both were operating at maximum power.
[G Tablet General] bobolinko:
Bottom Line, without all the Hype and Hyperbola....

Yeah, it'll work and destroy nothing, but will take longer to fully charge the battery.

Do not use the tab while it's connected.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
I wouldn't use it. The GTab expects 2 amps to be available, and will not know to throttle the charge back to 1.2. You risk overheating or otherwise damaging the charger, which could then turn around and damage your GTab, depending on the charger's failure mode.

12v and at least 2 amp is what you need. More than 2amp is fine.

[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
Yes.

Lithium Polymer batteries require a CV/CC charging scheme. This means "Constant Voltage" and "Constant Current". One after another. Without knowing how the charging circuit is setup, you COULD damage the battery or the charging circuit by not supplying the appropriate power to the circuit.

To summarize.

1.) NEVER use a higher voltage supply, unless you are 100% sure the internal power supplies can handle that voltage. 24VDC = most likely really bad

2.) NEVER use a power supply that is under the rated current of the device. For good quality external AC/DC bricks, it's usually not a concern. For cheaply made, haphazardly designed bricks (mostly from China), this can cause fire.

3.) You can ALWAYS use a brick that is rated at MORE current. That's available current, not "I'm going to shove this current down your throat". Typically, bricks rated at a higher current will supply the required current at a higher efficiency anyway, so pending you don't care about the size increase, it's better. They also tend to supply cleaner power (voltage really), which is always a good thing.

That concludes todays electronics seminar. Class dismissed.
[Atrix 4G General] panflute:
I am able to run hi res. WMV videos on the external SD card by using Astro file manager, holding down on the file, and opening up as video file using Arc Media Player! There is NOTHING wrong with the screen or its colors...it is absolutely gorgeous. Funny why Motorola didn't include a couple of samples of videos. Maybe the native video player was just not ready yet. When I try to play the movie with it, there is no video, just sound. Anyway, using Arc Media Player, the screen, the colors, the definition, are all perfect. The movie I have is "The Living Sea" (Music by Sting). Can't remember where I got the origional file, but I probably converted the origional file to a .WMV using CUCUSOFT video converter which has worked for me for years in converting videos and DVDs to phone screens. I have other hi res .WMV movies that also show off the screen very nicely and unlike the Captivate there is no skipping no lag no delays no jerkiness, just smooth action in the videos and it's a pleasure to watch. The display colors are not a saturated as on the Captivate, but the higher resolution makes for a better quality picture. BTW all of the lag and waiting and slow downloads and stuttering on the Captivate are all gone on the Atrix. The only time I have experienced any hesitation was on a couple of apps that didn't run, like Google Earth which they will fix soon I hope.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianpietrolorenzi:
Hi,

I flashed the ROM to my Desire HD and the ROM boot correctly. If I want to restart the phone I got the message that I will loose all temp files.

After I restored all my applications and data with titanium bake up I rebooted phone. After phone booted I got the message of an unexpected interruption of the process android acore and can't do nothing else than restore to my previous ROM.

Obviously my phone is rooted with radio S-off, I followed the procedure for flash the ROM as shown on the instruction but I don't really know why I got that error message.

Any help?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoohoo51:
so since the rom for 2.2 is out in the open (mad thanks for the person who posted it) does this mean it can be picked apart to make 2.3 and any following versions ????????????
[Epic 4G General] mindinfiltrator:
Hey Everybody I have experienced and corrected the compass / magnetometer issue in the epic by calibrating the unit upside down.

I am curious of a few things.

Does your Magnetometer work correctly without calibration in EB13?

If you calibrate with your screen facing up does it cause the Magnetometer to display erratic results EB13?

If you calibrate the unit while the screen is facing down does it solve the issues?

What Hardware revision are you on?

_____________________________________

::My Results::

Used exe from Samsung to update

Compass didn't work right after the flash.

Calibrated display upside down.

Used compass calibration tool.

Now it works great.

GPS is great.

EB13 is better than DK28 but still has issues....

Hardware Revision

D700.0.5
[Epic 4G General] MikeEx:
My old man updated OTA. his compass was fine. Never rooted or flashed.

Mine was messed up by flashing dk28. horribly.

Rooting and running "/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha" face-up fixed the erratic behavior.

"Settings>display>calibrate" face-down fixed the backwards reading.

Works great now.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
EB13 has a calibrate option where I don't recall seeing it in 18?
[Epic 4G General] mindinfiltrator:
Hey all,

I am just curious if there is a corrilation between hardware revision and sensor issues. What hardware version are you guys?

Thank you!!!
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I noticed issues with the accelerometer mainly when playing Words With Friends. It was damn near impossible for me to not have the words constantly shuffling. This was after having calibrated with the phone face up. I just recalibrated with the phone held upside-down on a door frame and now have no letter shuffling issues in Words With Friends...
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
Did it how you did it and.now I have no more rotation lag. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] roach7676:
Thank you so much! I was on the verge of returning my handset due to the compass not working, I figured the unit was broken. I could not find any info anywhere, and this fixed everything. Now CDompass works, as does Google Sky Chart. Yeah! Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
using bonsai 3.0.0 rom and kernel

both sensors working great no need to calibrate.

i could be wrong but i think everyone has the same hardware version unless somehow you were part of a beta test and have the beta hardware.

i have the same hardware as you.
[Epic 4G General] cheema:
Unfortunately for me, none of the tips provided here or elsewhere worked. My hardware revision is same as the others here: D700.0.5

I have calibrated the phone facing up, facing down, facing sideways. Ran the sensorcalibutil_yamaha util. Nothing. On a flat surface, the phone points North where West should be. If I rotate the phone a little, it changes its mind completely and thinks East is where West should be.

It has done this with all the various official and unofficial ROMS I have installed on this thing. Is there anybody else in the same boat as I? Is my phone broken and would Samsung fix this under warranty?

Thanks.

I think it will come with Galaxy S II, not our I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elviroo:
@ragin: i dont think they meant gingerbread release in general, because its already available with the nexus s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] colind:
another one saying same old **** we wont get gingerbread its on nexus so we may get ice cream which is cross between 2.3 and 3.0 its ice cream sandwich 2.4 but only if we are lucky there is now galaxy s 2 so the end is coming
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
You saying that we won't get 2.3 is just as helpful as the OP's post - zero facts, just I think, he said, she said etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
i dont think we will get it either, i think samsungs main focus now is the Galaxy s2,,

its typical of samsung to ditch its old owners and favour the new ones.. But if it wasnt for us Galaxy S1 owners,,, there would be no Galaxy S2....

Hopefully Cyanogen Mod will be stable before this 'gingerbread release' and thats exactly what im gunna use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dilbert83:
I believe we will get the 2.3. I've been running 2.2.1 since 27/12/10 so march/april would be about right for an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jj03:
It does make sense that samsung would give us gingerbread. Afterall, right now, they are heavily promoting the galaxy S, even on the dawn of the galaxy S2 arriving. I'd say we'll be supported for some time to come.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
What a bunch of useless haters are you!

Why don't you take the time to look and see how much devices HAVE 2.3 before dissing Samsung...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Android_devices

And the only way HTC has more devices with update is because of Nexus One, similar hardware = easyer update... But then, the desire (to name this one) just got 2.2 in the US...

Galaxy S, with a pretty much different hardware got it faster!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] colind:
well as stated i honestly dont believe we will get official upgrade as nothing showing on open source or samfirmware they said in dec it will be out in feb here we are at the end of said month still no gingerbread think we may get ice cream 2.4 but much later in year ----looks as though cynagenmod 7 nearly there so be only way to get 2.3 been watching tried earlier release very stable so now waiting on codeworks as be waiting long time for samsung nw they have a new babie sgs 2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
if samsung was going to update the phone past froyo why havnt the said it is getting ginger bread officaily to sell more galaxy s..if any body replys that samsung india twitter said it is.. they said ginger beard was going to be releaed for our phones i dont wait a beard on my phone and dont thing any body else does
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _JKay_:
If SGS is to get Android 2.3 it will be a few months after the release of SGSII. Because 2.3 is a selling point for SGSII. But SGSII really need Android 2.4 to get better dual core support. And 2.3 really isn't that big an upgrade.

So I would suggest that you forget about 2.3 and enjoy your great and fast SGS with 2.2.1 for now.

I'm happy with what we go so far so if we do get an official update then it'll be a bonus...

but even if they don't I don't really see a need to get upset about it =]

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eeyunopper:
Excuse my ignorance, but how would having gingerbread improve this phone? I've done some googles on gingerbread, but cannot find anything I personally think is a must have. Support for hardware this phone doesn't have (useless), improved cut and paste (boring), improved UI (which i'm sure we all have, thanks to devs, anyway) faster speeds (hmmm) and better app management (useful), but will GB have support for gapless playback of music files, a keyboard designed for thumbs bigger than matchsticks, a smoothness to the animations that matches the iPhone? PLease, strip away my ignorance.....

Don't get me wrong, as soon as it's available, I will have it.

OK. So I was getting bored with the gray icons in the settings menu so I decided to change them up. First thing that came to mind was the TouchWiz icons, so I pulled the icons from there to use in CM.

So this is for CM7 only and to install just push the apk to /system/app/

To install through adb type:

adb remount

adb push "Drag file here" /system/app/Settings.apk

OR with root explorer:

1. Copy the apk to your sdcard

2. With root explorer move the apk to /system/app/

Hope you enjoy (its my first real upload, and its not much)

I don't understand what you are asking about step #8. I don't see a step 8. But anyhow if you are on eb13 already you can run the one click root just like on eclair. If you want his deodexed rom then just flash it in cwm after you wipe. Then you boot up and root it. That's it. If you want ext4 then use the one click with cwm version 3.0.0.6 and use either dameons dual kernel or genocide kernel by rodderick.

Silly question #1: You know that the cable colors are reversed? Yellow and red need to be switched around.

If you've got that covered, then check to make sure that the cable you're using is compatible. Did it work with other builds/roms?

I had the same issue with a cable that 'should' have worked. I bought a new one (made the dude at radioshack test it before i bought it) and everything is gravy now.

Good luck :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domtru:

I was hoping that it would be that simple. The only other thing that I can think is that the cable isn't compatible. I wish that I could tell you what made for a compatible cable, but I guess I just got lucky.

There are some listed on Amazon.com specifically for the SGS phones.

Hmmmmm...

More research is needed. I will look into it. :-)

EDIT: It may be a problem with Bionix-v. I can't remember if I upgraded to 1.2.1 before I bought the cable. I know that I had the problem too with 1.2. The part that sucks is that 1.2.1 is a full-wipe ROM. Only if you're sure...
