I'm using Finland Froyo and it works fine with Exchange. My company uses Microsoft BPOS and all contacts and appointments sync perfectly. But I really dont know if there is some issue with Exchange 2003 severs.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
you can't sync birthdays in contacts
[Defy Android Development] evilc:
Bummer, is there a fix/workaround available/coming for this?

I realised I was being a numpty and had installed FIN II not FIN III.

I installed FIN III and the option was there and worked perfectly first time.

I found a Korean Android commercial on Youtube and thought it would be neat to have as a boot animation. I cut some things out, and added some things in to make one boot animation. I have made 2 versions, Portrait and Landscape. Portrait is 480x480, and Landscape is 480x800.

(Its not this fast on the phone)

dled flashable, hung up at installing update....what do i do , am I going to be bricked?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] amandadam:
Landscape looks perfect.Portrait is squished.Very cool and thanks button hit.Had never set permissions on a zip file.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
I dont think it will brick your phone since it is just putting a bootanimation.zip in your /system/media. If anything there will be a black screen during boot up, or your previous boot animation will still be there.

I'm trying this out right now!

This will work on 2.2.1 I9000 roms right? I'm suing Sweet honey :D

Looking fantastic! korea's done it again

Edit:

K it works great..

Also the Portrait is a bit low quality and stretched out.

I'll flash landscape now.

It should work on all roms that support boot animations. Did you use the flashable? If you used the non-flashable, did you set permissions?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
I used the flashable. Only the T-Mobile bootabimation works. I checked the permissions in root explorer its set like its supposed to be. Still wondering what I could have done.

Try the non flashable
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
I'm currently owning a Nook Color. I wanted it for reading books, reading pdfs (I can't find a lagfree Android pdf Reader!), browsing web and playing around.

I'm not happy with it. I'm from Germany, I payed about 300€ all in all for it with taxes and shipping costs.

I simply miss that I can't get any accessoires for it, that I don't have mobile Internet and the touchscreen makes problems.

I don't have a cellphone currently, I'm thinking about getting a case that let's me use my iPod as cellphone. But somehow I'd rather have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet, because I don't like it to have a device that wasn't ment to be an tablet and really is not a good tablet and together with the case for the iPod (70€) the SGT isn't a lot more expensive.

I think that I would still get about 200-250€ for my NC. I saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab for 350-400€on ebay.de.

What do you Samsung Galaxy Tab owners think, should I sell my NC to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab or should I stick with it?

PS: can one actually connect the tab to a TV with a video cable?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Well, I think you will get a lot more with the Galaxy Tab.

Overall I find it very usable and I enjoy it. Files in PDF can be read using Adobe reader and many others. I got Documents to Go and it gives me ability to read and edit MS format documents as well.

The Tab has everything that regular laptop has, plus GPS, compass, and cellular phone. You can get maps and navigation any time your need. GPS works better than on any phone because of the better antenna. Signal to noise ratio is more than 10 times higher. It should be noted that it supports Wifi at 5GHz in addition to 2.4GHz.

You can also make and receive phone calls while listening music through Bluetooth.

Overall Nook has a small fraction of the Tab's functionality.

Connecting the Tab to TV requires HDMI multimedia dock and HDMI cable with a small form factor connector on the dock side. You can also use Wifi streaming.

I would definitely vote for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] dannyxda:
I'm in the DC area, i'm selling my galaxy tab for $350
[Galaxy Tab General] rob61280:
Hi Diemex,

I use my galaxy tab in exactly the way you describe, I'm a postgrad student so I read ALOT of pdf files on my tab using Repligo to add comments to them and dropbox to sync with my desktop. I use Miren browser for 90% of my home web browsing and pulse reader for getting the news at Uni.

The tab is really stable on the modaco rom, but development isn't as fast as the NC, sometimes I wish there was more development, then I remind myself that functionality wise the tab has all the bases covered. When better kit comes along that the devs favour I will upgrade once the price falls. Until then the tab ticks all the boxes for me.

Edit: I'm waiting for an RCA cable to.arrive so that I can plug it into a T.V. via a scart adaptor.
[Galaxy Tab General] roy8846:
The Tab is a good step up from the NC.

The rca cables are cool and allow me to stream movies and play games via the tab.

Protected movies like ones from the samsung movie site do not play through though ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] sbrownla:
I should have waited

I am in the area too and wanted to get a T-Mobile one... And ended up paying a pretty penny.

To respond to thre OP--the size and hardware are its best attributes.

The software is a total nightmare. It is slow, no updates in sight, missed key presses ... I am annoyed. I am not even trying to do anything complicated with it! No rooting, no cooked roms, just stock device.

It's like they are pushing crap and once they sell the stock they move on to other versions.

Save your money. Samsung built this thing well but it is half-baked and the developent on it has just fizzled out on this site. I have very limited skills or I would be porting and helping.

Oh, the Nook Color thing. KEEP IT. It is much better quality and the development for it is still rockin. Hello, it has a Honeycomb port. The Tab is nowhere near that and again, devs have moved on it seems.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Thats what I like about the NC too.

I didn't look to bad to me.

I did all the rooting, overclocking stuff with my NC and it simply didnt make the device better.

The more limited a device it the more devs & hackers are interested in it....

For what should I wait - for Honeycomb Tegra 10.1 inch tablets?

I want a small versatile tablet for a good price

I also thought that that is a big plus. But it doesnt compensate for it lacking a lot of hardware. And the quality of it is definetely not better than the SGT. The case is creacky and I'm getting frequent qhost taps and times when the display isnt working at all.

Great a Honeycomb port, have you ever tried that port out? It's completely useless. I've been changing firmwares and kernels and all that stuff for the last 2 weeks and still ended up with froyo being the best.

I take my NC with me everywhere nearly, but it just has not enough functionality, and I'm thinking of leaving it simply at home to read books.
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Personally, I am totally in love with my SGT. I have rooted and have overcome ROM 1.2.1 with the new overcome 2.0.1 kernel, and it is just awesome :D Although I liked it beforehand, and it was certainly well usable, the ROM/kernel made it a lot better.

I take mine absolutely everywhere, and it does everything for me.

Yeah, I have seen some of those Honeycomb ports, not the nook one but other SDK ports on other devices.... to be honest, personally, I would rather wait for the source to be released and a proper port to be done. These SDK "Ports" are just horrible. (Not trying to hijack at all, but really guys? You all really want a nearly totally non-functional port? First thing everyone will do is ***** that things don't work, but I digress)

In the meantime, my tab works Great :D I would definitely recommend one, especially if you like the portability a 7" device offers. From what I understand the screen is similar to, if not better than, the NC for book reading, and that is one thing my tab is used for a lot.

It is also my phone, portable media player (plays pretty much every format I've thrown at it, and plays 720p and 1080p stuff quite smooth, obviously scaled down for the screen res but still), portable Internet, and all round mate impresser :P
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
I don't think that there will be any affordable 7 inch tablet coming out this year (for me^^).

Also if they have better hardware and stuff like that - it would be simply like putting a porsche motor in a opel corsa (or some other car).

The companies try to make the customers believe that when one has a device with a better/great hardware, that one can automatically do more with it, or that it runs better.

With all the great tablet-apps that support dualcore processors that will definetely be the case this year. (sarcasm).

I can't think of a better 7'inch tablet for this prize (~350€)
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
At this time I can see only one future contender in the same 7inch category: HTC Flyer.

It promises scripting capability using bluetooth stylus that might be very useful.

I had a quite a few Palms and used scripting a lot. Also I had two HTC Android phones and built quality was very good.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
the only thing that makes it better is that "magical" pen, but it's going to be 699$ and it's not out yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] kenfly:
So am i! same place and price. its the vzw version
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Actually i'd say that the fact that HTC have stated that it will get Honeycomb is more interesting than the "pen" IMO.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
SGT will also get honeycomb, if not from samsung, then definetely from the devs or hackers.
[Galaxy Tab General] TainT:
I've got both and the tab is definatly a better choice.

@op by reading your remarks I can tell you are a pretty smary consumer. go with your inner voice and get the tab.

Unless ofcourse you just want to wait and see what coming but I doubt it will be much different in the near future.

Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!
[Galaxy Tab General] zakth:
Just picked up a SGT from VZW for $170 w/2yr contract.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Nice,

Just went back to stock,

pdfviewing works great and fluent, I think stock is the best choice for standard consumer.

But still I'm quite sure that I'm going to buy the tab, it's going to last longer, or I think I will use it longer.

I looked at it at a local Shop,

put in my sdcard with apk's and pdfs, I was just messing around, trying out everything, the tab could even open my 350mb 250 pages fallout 3 game guide, nook takes for ever to load it.

It simply looked like the perfect all in one device that I was actually looking for, somehow got the Nook to try the tablet thing out, now it's time to upgrade my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab General] triplex76:
Well your wait has finished:

www.expansys.it/samsung-galaxy-tab-cavo-tv-out-204239/

Note that this way the tablet works with its own battery when tv connected differently from the powered hdmi dock
[Galaxy Tab General] sbrownla:
I was bitter yesterday. Very bitter.

I wish I still had my Nook Color sometimes, but I am coming to realize exactly how much potential the Galaxy Tab really has.

I just need to learn to be more patient.

Ommmmmmmm.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12078215:
Hi,

I am having trouble with GPS on my desire since installing gingervillain. On both versions 1.4 and 1.5 GPS just doesn't seem to be working at all. I've tried a factory reset from the recovery menu and have tried re-applying the zip file but with no luck. GPS is enabled but I don't even get an icon on the status bar at the top when it is supposed to be searching for a signal.

Thanks,

Chris
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedkimchi:
Reach for the skies

Go outside of your house. Point your phone to the sky. Your position should should showing on your GPS.

Or it could be the program itself? Try different gps using apps like maps, facebook places etc etc.

Also do post what radio you're currently using on your phone. It could help people diagnose your problem better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12078215:
Tried outside and using gpstest off the market with no luck. I don't usually have any problem with gps inside my house anyway. I don't even get an icon in the status bar at the top it's like it's not working at all. And before anyone says yes it is switched on! My current version is:

32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_norris:
You must have the worlds strongest GPS in your desire. In normal ones, you need to be outside with the phone pretty much able to see the sky. On top of that, ideally it will need to be a clear sky.

Turn on GPS, open up Google Maps / your Navigation software (while outside). On my phone it only used to show the GPS icon in the task bar when a program was running that could use it.

Alternatively download GPS tools from the market (I forget the exact name).

If your GPS is indeed stuffed, take your phone back (if its under warrantee).

My GPS died on my phone. Completely. And before that it kept rebooting the phone. Had to take it back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike_52:
Try gps status on the market :)

Hi

very interested in this thread as my GPS worked fine until I installed Gingervillain 1.4 last week and then updating to 1.5 on Friday :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:

Version 1.6:

* Fixed GPS problem (Thanks to CM Team)

+ kernel update defo works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12078215:
Hi,

Could you advise how I go about that? I thought the Kernel was updated as part of the gingervillain setup anyway?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12078215:
Well I've had more fun with this! I just couldn't get GPS working on anything other than GV 1.0. I completely wiped my SD card and re-formatted the EXT3 partition. I then installed the stock RUU at which point GPS was predictably working. I then went through the flashing process of GV 1.6 and GPS was working this time. It was fine for a week or so but then the GPS stopped working again! I'm thinking it must be something to do with the dalvik cache now, that's the only reason I can think of for the GPS to stop working. I'm running out of patience with GV now so does anyone have suggestions for another stable 2.3 ROM I can move onto?

Thanks again,

Chris

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:

Thanks!

But not all of us using Windows. Guess will wait for CWM package when it is ready.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] razielu:
You should be able to still use an archiver such as WinRAR to unpack it without having to run it, even if in SFX format.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
It's a 7zip archive which can decompressed on Windows and Linux.

Edit: I have disabled the download link as I found a minor issue, I will fix this in a few min.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shallremainnameless2:
Can I flash this with repartioning on CM7 directly or should I go back to stock 2.2.1 first ?

And does this rom have a lot of static pops and cracks while listening to music that Stock 2.3 beta has ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
I'm uploading the new firmware, the issue was minor, there was a line missing in build.prop which I forgot to add:

# Samsung USB default mode

persist.service.usb.setting=0

If the user chooses Settings>Wireless and networ>USB settings Setting will crash, and the device cannot connect to kies.

I will add the correct build.prop to the first post telling how to copy it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsinc:
How did you root it? (kernel?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] albinoloss:
Installing now. I will test and i report soon my impressions. Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
Some feedback would be great. You are welcome. :)

No, the kernel is untouched. Did you try the firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsinc:
Not yet, but I will. I'll be back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
It's like any other stock firmware that you flash with Odin, I don't know if you should re-partition because you have CM7. I did not experience any static pops on this firmware, although I did not hear a lot music on this firmware, but no issues so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsinc:
I really can't see any difference. It feels the same (like the odexed stock version) to me. I had flashed the odexed stock with 803 pit including the bootloaders and already patched the build.prop. I flashed this one without repartition (I was on 512 pit this time). Seems that the only thing missing is the framework-res.apk with the lock animation (TV-CRT) :D.

I'll be back if I find something else.

Thanks.

Almost forgot: It did wipe even without repartition

And you should mention that no bootloaders included.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
Try this, do a factory-reset at recovery and see if it's still the same. XWJV1 does lag as I remember it, this does not, maybe once in a while, but it can't be the same as the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsinc:
It's still the same :o. The stock one didn't lag on my device, also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Why exactly would you expect deodexing to improve speed ?

Im very intrigued.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsinc:
I didn't. Ramad did. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
In any case, its incorrect.

You should only deodex if you need to make smali changes to the firmware. Images can still be replaced in odexed builds.

If you are really measuring speed, odex version's first boot is instant whereas deodex'ed version's first boot is hella long. After first boot, they are equivalent in speeds.

As for zipalign, it is suppose to reduce ram usage of an apk, so even there you won't notice a speed difference.

Hope that makes it clear.

[LG Optimus 2x] _7_:
Hi,

I can't seem to get full webpages view to work on my Optimus 2x (froyo).

I tried going into the stock browser, typing "about:debug" in the address bar, go into setting, then UA then select desktop. After a searching the web this seems to be the way to get it done, but it doesn't.

For instance: When I try to open "www.nfl.com" it always directs to the mobile version. I tried almost every browser, but no change. I even installed Dolphin Browser HD and the addon called "Desktop Toggles", but that didn't work either.

Does anyone have a solution?

TNX!
