Been running dual boot system for over 6months no issues flashing either WINMO or Adroid. Everthing worked o.k.. Then moved into NAND but message says Kernel failto=ed to open. I thought maybe it was me. Did it again failed. I tried CWR partitioning and still failed. I've tried 3 different ROMs and no boot.

I tried to even go back to SD boot with old stable Rom and now I can't load ANY Android ROM. I boots to green splash screen and then back into WINMO.

Days spent on this need a seperate set of eyes. WINMO roms all boot just fine.

How can i re install the trial version of lcg jukebox on my Gtab
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Benzal:
Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to this however thanks to this forum I was able to fairly easily flash my first custom rom onto my HTC Hero.

I went for Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.4... Works like a charm.

Just one question since 2.1 (official release), when switching the off button there is no longer an option to switch the internet off :confused:

Is there anyway this can be re-added as I find it quite useful when travelling through Europe (ability to quickly enable/disable)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puppyko:
can try use 2 methods:

1. Apps like Apndroid to toggle data off/on

2. create a data off/on toggle at notification status bar via, I think something like Menu/Setting/CM setting/Interface/notification power widget
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Benzal:
Thanks puppyko, installed APN on/off Widget and it does the trick...

Does anybody however know how to get it r-eadded to the Phone Options menu? (off screen options)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puppyko:
Glad the suggestion served you well :)

Any options that is available under Phone Option Menu will supposely come together with the ROMs. So I think only the ROM developers can do it. But this will be of low priority for any developers as there are already few other ways of toggle data off/on.

Hi,

Battery question:

My battery is empty at ~3500mV/~5%. A Li-ion cell drained when its voltage is ~3000mV. I have tried wipe battery stats when battery fully charged, and drained it. It didn't helped.

Is there any solution to use the battery full capacity?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puppyko:
I had tried the aboved wipe battery stats method few times before..

It didn't help prolong my battery usage..it just performed battery calibration, that is wiped the battery statistic as to at what voltage the reading would be 100% (I think).

Of course, many others had tried the wipes and claimed it helped.

Nowadays, I just charged the phone to full 100% with phone turned on (instead of switched off and charge).

I found charging this way, the fully charged voltage can go higher at around 4.2V instead of just 4.05V when charging with phone turned off.

So with this higher charge, with no usage, my 100% can stay almost half my working day.

But with internet usage on 3G, wifi..such as using browser surfing net, the drainage would easily reduced 20% within an hour.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExMM:
You can simply add "power widget" to your desktop...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BluNoze:
Spot on.

Add the widget, make sure you tick "Data Sync" and "2G/3G".

Also check out the Wifi options (further down the menu) where you can automatically disable OTA internet etc.

As above really, I have the galaxy S "HAD" the Desire and Nexus (both died) and the one thing they all have in common are great support and quick updates.

But the Tab has been ignored, there is already a beta leak of Gingerbread on the S it's rubbish but it's there.

Does anyone else thing that the Tab was a pet project for Samsung a new Hobby they are bored with? Correct me if im wrong but we are still on 2.2 not even 2.2.1

Thanks Samsung for all the hard work and dedication to bring the latest and greatest to the fine people who purchased your "flagship" product it's nice to know we can put as much faith in you as you have with us.

Fine we probably wont get Honeycomb I can accept that but Gingerbread?

Ground Control to Major Samsung we are all still here copy?
[Galaxy Tab General] utrx:
It's a shame. But I think I can try to understand why.

Companies like Samsung are essentially hardware companies. They try to dedicate some resources to software development, but they are always limited resources.

To support something with upgrades needs great dedication. Samsung might have decided to pour those limited resources into the next Tab. In Samsung's mind, the current Tab and its Froyo can stand on their own. The newer Tabs will have the latest Android as their selling feature.

However unfortunate this is to me as a Tab owner.
[Galaxy Tab General] 00r101:
So, what can we takeaway from our experience?

When you buy something make sure it does what you need it to. Do not believe in the potential for future upgrades to give you features you need.

Also, I am baffled by this group mania (not just here but by the whole tech community) for the latest release. I have upgraded to Gingerbread on my phone and while it has some nice add-on features, it has not changed the experience of using the phone significantly. While I would like Honeycomb on my tab I know that if I got it I would use the tab in the same way I do now.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
While I agree with you that is still no excuse. If a company releases a product they have to have the resources and skill to back it up.

So far.....Samsung makes excellent products...BUT refuses to help ppl who need help or updates.

For shame Samsung....for SHAME.:(
[Galaxy Tab General] waz000000:
Point one: don't buy Samsung for Tabs

Point two: I based my decision on the ongoing support for current devices and expected that same level of care on this device, this is based on my experience of Samsung devices and the usual amount of product support they give.

If Samsung sold the product and openly stated "please be aware when you buy this there will be no updates or support" How many people would purchase it?
[Galaxy Tab General] BasicCX:
For point no.2, they only update if the software has bug on it....not for adding new features as this will only make them loses (better to offer new product) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
I just saw a new Tab released here in South Korea. It is a Wi~Fi only version. Not sure what the software version is. It is so new that only the Samdung store has it for a few weeks.

I think there might be some updates soon as thry will want to keep this new product up to date for awhile.

They are promoting it as no 3G, Free Wi~Fi. Lately anothrr company has started selling Wi~Fi only phones here for kids so there is no per minutes charge.

Also South Korea has some stringent customer service laws for after service. I yhink you will see updates coming as soon as they are available. The new 8 inch Tabs wiil be basicly the same as whst we have, so it will have updates that will probably apply to us to.

But what I have seen of Honeycomb makes me think I do not wsnt it on my Tab. It appears to be landscape oriented, and I do not want landscape on my Tab. It works better for me in portrait. Hold better and apps fit better. I rarely use the landscape mode, and if I need that then I use a traditional laptop or desktop.

Look for updates soon. Just my humble opinion.
[Galaxy Tab General] zaoltryence:
well lets hope for this... but sorry im quite pessimistic:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] waz000000:
No they don't, they are adding support for Gingerbread on the I9000 as we speak im using a custom Gingerbread rom now from the leaked beta.

That phone started on 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.2

And supporting the phone didn't make them loses in fact it's the reason i bought the tab.

But a debate on this is what I want make your opinions count :)
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Samsung have never had an amazing record of looking after their devices. I was well aware if that before I purchased my Tab and I'm sure a lot of other people did too. It didn't hinder me buying it though. I love my Tab. If it stays on FroYo, so be it. I'm not willing to sell it just to buy another tablet just because it has Gingerbread or Honeycomb. I'm more than happy with my Tab reguardless of the firmware its on.

Actually the 8.9" will most certainly be tegra2... And more similar to the 10.1 than the 7 inch tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Slave1:
I used one for a fortnight in December and almost cried when I had to give it back.

I get my Tab tomorrow and I know what it can do out of the box (exactly the same as it could do 4 months ago). Sure you're always a little miffed when Google release a new app or an update that will only work on higher versions of Android than the one you have. But you need to understand what the device does before you order it. If it's not enough, don't buy it.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I agree, but I was blown away by t-mobile blocking by imei, and the block on the voice. That was not obvious up front, at least to me. I'm glad California has a 30

[Galaxy Tab General] ourtech:
Since you are talking about Samsung abandoning us, isn't Samsung obligated to release the source code for the device? As Android is Linux based and Linux requires posting of source code for any derived work. I ask this because I really don't care (much) if Samsung doesn't release 2.3 or 3.0 as long as the developer community has the capability to produce those upgrades. Since what I have seen so far scares me as it seems as though loading a custom ROM is fraught with danger, I would think that releasing the code would advance that process. Also, if they have limited development resources, then reach out to the developer community and give them the access that is needed develop custom ROMS. They will be way ahead of Apple if they do.
[Galaxy Tab General] PhelanPKell:
RE:

Up until about 2 weeks ago, I was an employee of Telus, and while my co-workers and I sat on our hands waiting for word of what tablets we were getting this year, Bell and Rogers were getting the Galaxy Tab.

Finally, around late January, early February our manager came to us with news from the grapevine on high stating that Telus would not be picking up the 1st gen Galaxy Tab because Samsung would not be supporting it with software updates.

This isn't exactly great news, but it is at least some semi-conclusive news from within the industry.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
I look at it this way. If the tab gets an upgrade to Honeycomb from Samsung or through a port it will still be the same device. The tab operates just fine with Froyo.

Right now the tab has eliminated the necessity for me to carry a laptop and a phone. The tab has much more mobility than the laptop since it fits into a jacket pocket and has phone/and mobile internet capabilities on 3G and wifi.

What more could I possibly ask for from a highly mobile device?

While a more advanced OS like Honeycomb would make the tab a better device...the lack of Honeycomb doesn't degrade it or make it less functional.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Popular Open Source misconception #1

The Linux kernel, which is part of the software distributed by Samsung, is released under the GPLv2 license, and this license requires that any derivative work must be accompanied by an offer to provide the source code (called a copy-left license) if the software is re-distributed.

Samsung have provided kernel source, so they are in the clear here.

Android itself is provided under the Apache Software License (ASL).This is a non-copy-left license, so if you wish you can take Android source, do pretty much whatever you wish with it, and you are under absolutely no obligation to release your modified source code.

Simplistic overview I know, but essentially correct.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I find this *extremely* hard to believe. The 1st gen Tab is clearly still relevant, and current, because Samsung are still going to ship a WiFi-only model in April.

We might not get Honeycomb, though I do wonder how Samsung will be able to ship a WiFi-only Tab with Android Market, given that it does not meet all of Google's criteria for "phone" Market access, though it would for Honeycomb as a tablet.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
Remembers me end 2009 when HTC first announced that our HD2 would get the WM6.5 to WP7 update, and finally denied some monthes after.

Since then, as some say, we don't care because of the great developpers here hacking it... challenging for them, but isn't normal in my opinion.

For the Galaxy Tab, those who have paid the very high price as an high end device when it came out (1.000 USD in november here in france) buying it without provider, surely expect more concern from Samsung, updates and support on the existing system (still waiting at least for the "bending gsensor" fix).

About Honeycomb, why giving it to us as an update, if it will make some want to change their device in some monthes? Even if you don't care, it's still a selling point. Consumerism.
[Galaxy Tab General] ourtech:
I am aware that not all licenses are the same. I was not aware that you could mix the licenses and that Android itself was licensed under the Apache license. Thanks for the clarification. Which is a shame in one sense because while I do understand the need to protect proprietary secrets, I do believe that enlisting the support of communities like this can only increase the popularity of their devices. Microsoft just realized this as they invited some from the "hacker" community to meet with them and offer them support (they gave them t-shirts). Samsung would benefit from helping this very community here. It is free development.
[Galaxy Tab General] texasreb:
Oh but the tab does have a serious flaw in it. There are hundreds of us with battery indication flaws in that it will go to 3% or zero in the matter of minutes. Samsung does not seem to care. This attitude worries me about their other products.
[Galaxy Tab General] sbrownla:
Yeah, the license issue is pretty funny sometimes, but can someone help me understand what it is about the kernel that helps devs? My excruciatingly limited knowlege has me believing that the kernel version would contain how the OS interacts with the device's hardware ...

Scratch that! NM, I looked it up.

Nothing to see here.
[Galaxy Tab General] ultramag69:
The truth is these companies are like politicians... They'll promise heaven and earth to get you to buy their product but when it comes time to live up to their promises they tend to run screaming in the other direction...

I liked the Tab, thats why I bought it, however, I also liked the fact I was supposed to be able to upgrade to the new OS's about to be released. Quite frankly there a heap of new tablets being released and if Samsung can't live up to their promises then I won't trust them again. We are their bread and butter and if they treat us good then we'll be loyal, I can't give my loyalty to a company that treats us like so much garbage...

Will look into other companies next time.

HTC are releasing a new tablet. Bet they get the honeycomb update let alone gingerbread...

Samsung can go to hell, not gonna be their little *****...
[Galaxy Tab General] sbrownla:
Yezzir. 'Tis capitalism at its best, and we continue to buy into it. Sometimes we luck out, like with HTC products, but I think that's a combination of a company with a sense of responsibility and value-added, and a deeper understanding of competing by building brand identity and loyalty.

Somebody give me an MBA. Haha.

Nah, my point is that until we figure out how to make Samsung feel a little more guilty about playing around ... :confused:

[Folio 100 General] shidima_101:
Not to be rude, but if you would search the forum you can find that your question has been asked and awnserd a couple of times already.

In short, there is probably not going to be official support for honeycomb due to some missing hardware in the Folio 100 (Gps / rear faceing camera).

On the othere side, there are some people who are working on porting it from some other devices who will get an official update.
