A few (software) issues with SGT 10.1... - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

1. There is no way to sync the clock to any internet time.
2. When the battery is fully charged, the screen turns on from standby (and stays on until the pre-set time-out). This is a problem if you leave you SGT plugged in at night. The screen will turn on in the middle of the night, and possible wake you up if you leave it by night table.
3. Bluetooth tethering for internet access does not work. Using my iPhone (with a legit tethering plan), I can connect to SGT via BT. The internet setting actually recognized BT was connected. A blue square icon was also shown in the lower right corner. However, no data was transferred.
4. Launcher crashes. Regularly about once every 1-2 day, Launcher crashes; i.e., pressed the 'house' icon then a blank screen was shown. Same problem with ADW launcher. The only solution was to reboot (like working with Windows computers, needs constant rebooting).

The only consistent crash/force close I have ever had is with the Google Listen app. I've never had a problem with the stock launcher, unless we count that annoying WiFi hang thing. But, that doesn't require a reboot either. Maybe you have defective hardware; can you return/exchange it for a new one?

1. If your tab is rooted there is. Get one of the ntp apps like ClockSync from the market.
2. No idea how to disable that. My phone does the same thing but the screen is so small that it didn't bother me much. The tablet is another thing, it lights up the whole room, really annoying.
3. Won't help you much when I tell you that bt tethering works great with my Galaxy S via the bt pan profile. All I have to do is enable bt, click the little wrench next to the Galaxy S and enable tethering. Maybe you have to enable something on your iPhone?
4. Never happened to me. You should try to set up your homescreens from scratch.
Btw. you might want to update your pc to something newer than win98 if you really believe in your comment about windows PCs.

[Discussion] Bell JK4

I figured this would be a good place to discuss the new Bell JK4.
I noticed after getting JK4 that there are a few changes (ones I didn't know existed):
- the default wallpaper is different
- Bell bloatware is gone (mostly)
- the start-up Galaxy S logo is slightly different...it has a shadow effect
- in recovery mode there is now a "Format Internal SD"
- the drop down menu brightness trick doesn't work anymore
- the data logo seems different on the top bar
The data symbol is gray now, you're not crazy The GPS icon is also different.
- TouchWiz lock screen now has the provider name on it
- Menus are a little darker blue
- The setting for what to do on USB connection seems to be gone, incredibly annoying
- back and home together is a screen shot
My phone is certainly very fast now but that could be the factory reset. Also 75% of Skype calls turn into static, very disappointing as that was the main reason I wanted froyo. But overall excellent rom so far, I can mass install apps without it hanging for once.

Pros/Cons
I've updated to JK4 as well and I'm quite satisfied.
1) Brightness setting trick - still works, but it seems you only have to drag the notification bar without having to pull it down a bit. This is good, as I used this feature frequently.
2) Bloatware - this still seems to be there, like the Yahoo search widget and other Bell apps.
3) "Car Home" and "Desk Home" - apps which are more or less shortcuts for apps frequently used in the respective environments.
4) Cursor Arrow - now there is a big arrow cursor thing whenever you click on a text so you can drag that arrow to get to a spot you want.
This is HUGE for me. This makes it so much easier to get the cursor to go to where I want it to be.
5) Copy & Paste Hovering Menu - along with the cursor arrow is the hovering menu which allows you to copy/paste. Again, dramatically improves the experience.
6) HQ Music Album Cover - Before, the album cover was low-quality even if you had high quality album art. Not anymore.
7) Video Player UI change - makes it look cleaner and nicer.
8) Auto-Rotation Shortcut - in notification bar
9) Pinch Zoom-out in Homescreen - sort of similar to Launcher Pro
Now many of these may not be specific to Bell's JK4, but I just wanted to throw it out there.
Performance wise, starting up apps feels faster, which may be real or conceived.
Downside seems to be that scrolling throw apps seems slower/laggier/choppier than before.
GPS is pretty much same for me. Works perfectly fine outdoors. Not so much indoors, though I'm not sure if GPS is supposed to work well indoors to begin with...
Sum up, an improvement over Eclair.
Gps won't find a fix for me. Ideas? I had cleared cache and did a reset once I installed jk4.

I upgraded to froyo tonite and all is well so far but... I seem to be missing sseveral apps in my market downloads list even though they are still on the phone.
Anyone know why and how to fix?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Think I might have a solution to the missing apps problem. I had the same issue all my apps were still on the phone but most (all the free ones) were missing from the marketplace. The solution is simply to download any free app from the market place, install that app and then close and reopen the marketplace, all my apps were restored. Hope that helps.

FROYO killed my vibrant
Help! I just updated to FROYO on Kies... all good. After 10 minutes I started getting some process errors when running apps and suddenly (when trying to load Market), it died and started to cycle the white Samsung S GT1900M start screen, then black, then start screen, then black.... aaaaaaah! 3 button reset to get to recovery mode DOES NOT WORK (it had previously). Yanked the battery, no joy.
If I use 3 buttn rec using the volume down button I get the little android guy shoveling logo saying "Downloading.... Do not turn off Target!" but it has been sitting like that for 30 minutes.
Ideas?
Here's my list of pleasant surprises:
- Kies connection (MTP?) always works and disconnects fine. Before when I disconnected from Kies my phone would lose the internal and external SD's until I tried to mount/unmount when connecting USB.
- Overall very smooth feeling
- Calendar now supports bi-weekly repeating entries
- Gmail app seems to be much better. Plus there is an additional update to 2.3.2 that came out just today (Gmail 2.3 comes with JK4) that only works with 2.2 and 2.3 (Gingerbread). I had to download it from the Market.
I still haven't given the GPS much time but I have yet to get a successful lock. So far it is looking worse than JH2. I will have to do some more testing.
That's all I got for now without repeating what other people have said already. So far I really love the Froyo experience. I'll post more after playing with it some more.

Download mode only does something when connected to a computer. You can use it to return to stock using Odin.
My GPS seems to be working pretty well, I can get a decent lock outside and in the top floor of my house in 15-30 seconds, and I tested Navigation a bit driving home from classes and it seemed flawless to me.

Yeah, I was confused about that as well. But it's still there. They just moved it from Settings -> About Phone to Settings -> Wireless and network.
I guess connecting to PC is in the realm of networks. Anyhow, it's still there, and they now even have little android screens when you connect/disconnect.
Pre Froyo, the only problem I had with my phone (i.e., no lag w/100+ apps installed, GPS was perfect) was the wonky G-Sensor. After Froyo, it works absolutely PERFECTLY!! LOVE IT!
And I'm liking this thread. Anyone who has noticed new Froyo additions specific to our phones please post them! There was another post in one of the many Bell Froyo posts that had some but can't remember now...
Post hints and tips guys!!
Also, this is a general Froyo tip, but I love it: Chrome to Phone (Chrome extension, there is one for Firefox too) and Android to Cloud...love using these to send webpages, text, maps to phone and vice versa!
@jypyper
you have the internal sd card issue. The phone needs to be repaired.
I've noticed home page scrolling got smoother. App page scrolling on the other hand is slow and delayed. I've also had a few wifi errors now where the wifi doesn't kick in.

Anyone having any GPS lock issue or My Location based on wireless network issue? I'm using this phone unlocked on Rogers, and they're not working since the update...
GPS sees several sats every time I try it outside..like 7+, but it doesn't seem to be locking on to any of them. Again, I did not have any problem with Eclair...
I can't find the xda developers app invthe market place after the upgrade? Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm having a problem where my 'Back' button freezes and will not work. I press it and the light on the button goes out with ho haptic feedback, but it does not exit the screen. I can press it 100 times and it does nothing. Then, if I press the home button, it takes a screenshot and seems to unfreeze the back button...any ideas?

A500 First day of ownership thoughts...

so after a couple of months of reading reviews and post by owners, i decided to pull the trigger last night.
after a 3-4 hour charge, i jumped right into it.
+very fast boot up.
i played with Honeycomb 3.0 before updating it to 3.1. i noticed that 3.1 had bootup & keyboard sounds, while 3.0 had none.
+the chassis is really nice. i loved the look. reminds me of my HTC HD2. rock solid.
+YouTube plays nice. i can already tell that i'm gonna be using this for mainly YouTube. but it really sucks that some videos won't play because it considers the A500 a "mobile device".
+web browsing is good so far. it even ran southparkstudios.com
uhm...that's all i can think of right now for pluses...
...and here's my cons with the tablet:
-it loses wireless connection when the screen goes to "sleep". but this apparently is a VERY common bug and issue with A500 owners. very annoying that i have to restart the wireless to get connection back. this is the main issue i have with it so far. my phone doesn't lose connection to the internet with the screen goes to "sleep".
-there's a dead pixel, but that's easily fixed by exchanging it for a new unit.
-lots of my games that i would normally use on my phone are completely useless because it still maintains a phone sized image. OR it just force closes.
-No Netflix app. although i read somewhere on the internet that there's supposed to be an official Netflix app coming out. but there's no way to confirm the validity of that statement.
-No Hulu
-No dedicated Facebook App
i still have lots to try out still like the HDMI out, the functionality of the USB ports, Divx/MPG/Avi compatibility, and MP3 sound quality. plus i want to see if i can install an NES/SNES emulator and play it via a bluetooth gamepad.
i noticed there's LOTS of ports...which means more possibly entry points for dust. which can be bad. ACER (or someone else) should make plastic/rubber port bootcovers to remedy that.
i haven't tried to install a custom ROM. nor have i tried to root it.
i'm looking forward to the 3.2 update. i'm hoping that'll fix all (or at least some) of the cons.
As for the internet connection, mine with stock rooted US rom (.13) doesn't do that. I have always internet after sleeping.
For the phone apps no scaling you can use Spare Parts and uncheck the compatibility box.
Facebook you can side load it, it works nice on my tablet.
Hulu is a common problem with all the tablets, you need a fixed flashplayer apk.
Hope it helps you
Root the device, for now try virtuous Xoom with 3.2 honeycomb. Once rooted netflix is fairly easily installed. Also, you can set the browser as "desktop". Mine has never lost wifi for any reason other than range.
My a500 have never lost WiFi during sleep.
There is a Tablet app "Friend Me" for Facebook and it is very good!
"Spare Parts" with "compatibility mode" disabled will make all apps full screen!
Never had a problem with a game (except those made or specific hardware)
Hulu and Netflics I can't comment! Living in Europe!

+1 to that - this is not a bug, this is a setting you can change, and is documented in your user manual.
Click apps. Settings. Choose the "wireless and network" menu. Click wifi settings. Click "Wifi disconnect policy" and modify it.
"Bug" fixed.
yikes i almost forgot about netflix
Netflix works great on the a500 - you need to root via Iconiaroot (assuming you are using 3.1) and then simply follow the instructions located here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Just follow the instructions - either use root explorer with system mounted r/w or snag Acer recovery installer from market, install cwm, apply the patch.zip and you are done. Netflix looks great on a 10.1
hmm... seems like the consensus is that everyone doesn't have that issue. maybe my situation was a one time only thing.
but let me explain to you what i was doing when it happened:
i got tired of the Market app on the A500. but i'm also tired of the Market app on my HD2 as well. the new updated Market doesn't show you everything, it just shows you like the top ten for every category. anyways... so i put the tablet down (i didn't turn it off or put it in stand-by) and sat in front of my desktop and used the web browser version of Market. i probably spent about 15 minutes or so sending apps to install onto my device. when i went back to check on the tablet, the screen was off. i pressed the power button to bring the screen back on and the Wi-Fi was showing that it was 'OFF'. the only way to bring it back was to restart the Wi-Fi.
so yeah... it was strange. but like i said, maybe it was a one time event.
maybe i'll just set the timeout for higher like 60 mins.

Nope.
You issue is a result of your settings. If you want your a500 to keep a active wifi connection while the screen is sleeping, you will need to go into your settings menu and tell your a500 to not drop the connection while the screen is off.
ahhh... cool. i'll definitely be playing with the settings tonight then. thanks.
Wifi is my only complaint so far and I am experiencing the same thing. Mine is set to never disconnect wifi, and it doesn't. It shows wifi connected the whole day under battery usage. However, when the screen goes off it seems to drop the wifi and I must disconnect/reconnect to get it working again when I turn it on. Not every time but it is frequent.
To be clear:
When I turn the screen on, wifi is unusable until I go into settings and toggle it off and back on.

Are your wifi settings -> wifi disconnect settings set to not drop the connection when screen is off? Screen set to never sleep will not keep a inactive wifi connection alive - you need to go into wifi and networks catagory of settings and modify the disconnect policy.
Yes I know, sorry I meant never disconnect wifi not sleep.

I am confused.
Are you saying you have wifi disconnect policy set to "Never disconnect", but are having issues holding a wifi connection after turning the screen off?
Please provide more information, very hard to troubleshoot something this vague.
There is a difference between WiFi turning off and WiFi disconnecting.
Here is what I'm seeing on mine:
1) With my tab on, WiFi connected, browser working, I can ping my tab from my desktop.
2) Shut down browser, put tab to sleep, wait an unknown timeframe (lets say 15 minutes).
3) Wake tab, see WiFi is still connected, do nothing else. Start pings from desktop in a continuious loop, pings all fail, despite WiFi connected on tab.
4) Start browser on tab, browser connects to test website, and suddenly pings respond on desktop.
So, it appears that while the WiFi on the tab stays connected, it does not actually go 'active' and start handling data until an app needs it, such as the browser.

No shortage of apps that can work around this - I don't understand why you want a network connection when nothing is using it, but to each their own
https://market.android.com/search?q=wifi+keep+alive&so=1&c=apps
The wifi issue you describe is not a bug. It is an android feature to reduce battery drain. If an app or connection is not in use, it is cached until a process is called.then the wifi connection becomes active. You can disable wifi sleep policy but you will see a battery drain if you set it that way.
Remember the two most important parts of a tablet are the screen and the battery. A poor screen or poor battery life will kill sales for that tab faster than apple can draw up a lawsuit.

Well described.
Not sure why a user would want to bypass this - the moment an app requests data, as long as wifi disco policy is set - network connection is set to active.

Untrue. I have used a number of applications that when launched, do not 'activate' the connected WiFi. Two for example, 'QuickSSHd', which is a SFTP and SSH server, and 'IP Webcam' a webcam server.
Wake up the Tablet, and see that the WiFi shows a connection. Fire up either of these server applications, and try to connect to them. No go...
Now go fire up the browser, which of course makes an 'outbound' connection, the WiFi 'activates' at that time, and suddenly both of the aforementioned server applications can be connected to.
In other words, when the 'conected' WiFi is asleep, it takes an 'outbound' app to wake up the wifi. An app that is waiting for an incoming connection never sees one until an outbound app wakes up the wifi.
NOTE: This behavior is NOT seen on my Android Gingerbread phone, running the same apps with the same sleep settings.

2 things to do.
open your browser
in the URL window (address bar) type about:debug and hit enter
it seems nothing happens but it adds a debug in settings
Next
On the very top right click the 4 lines with an arrow.
Click settings and on the left side click "advanced"
click "Viewing Mode" and set it to "desktop.
Now on the left click debug
click UAString and click desktop.
That's it.
Make sure you haven't saved any bookmarks from the mobile sites or they will still open from the bookmark as mobile sites.

Wifi sucks on the KF

Hi, something that is happening to me since day one and with all the roms i tried. Basically, i can´t transfer from my pc or download from the internet any file that is more than a few MB. Every time i try to do it, the connection is lost before completing the transfer. Does anyone have the same problem? It really sucks as i don´t have a micro-usb cable always with me.
Never had that problem, use multiple access points at the house (3) and have used my unit at work (9 access points throughout the building), family member homes, client homes/businesses ... as well as my 4G hotspot.
I don't use open unsecure access points so I can't speak for them, but everything else works fine.
I have two Kindle Fires.
WiFi works fine on both of them.
I have had no such problem as you have.​

Works for me, last eve I d/l'ed a rom, took about 20 mins, but it finished fine..
Kindle's wifi is really good for me...it even works in my third Bedroom with doors closed, where few of my other devices find it hard to acquire...try checking ur modem settings...might help!
I have a sneaking suspicion that the stock ROM disables WiFi when the screen is off, or something similar.
Stock 6.2.2 rooted, was streaming music off of Grooveshark. Screen on, no problem. Screen off, after about 30 seconds the music stopped. I've also heard people complain Gmail won't sync in the background on the stock ROM, but I have found that isn't the case. It just won't sync in the background with the screen off
I am switching between Stock and the ICS port, and this eliminates the streaming problem (for me, YMMV of course).
My wifi sucks too. It was fine when i first got it but now it just constantly turns off and on. Every other device i have on my router works fine. Very frustrating. I'm tempted take my kindle back but i didn't get the warranty

You are correct, stock rom has wifi set to sleep with screen off. ''Wifi keep alive'' on the android market will fix that tho.
Worth a try but no guarantee.
Search for "wifi keep alive" in Android Market. Set your KF to "always on".
Other than WiFi shutting off with screen, the only other thing I've noticed is that the Fire doesn't seem to roam smoothly between APs.
When I'm using MSTSC to control my work PC, walking any distance always causes it to disconnect. Luckily, it only takes a couple seconds to reconnect. But, I imagine it'd cause a file copy to abort.
I have not had any issues transferring 1gb videos to my Kindle via Dropbox. Used to have this issue with My phone but then installed Juice Defender and enabled connectivity when screen is off for apps like, dropbox or Google music. worked like a charm, otherwise very happy with my Kindles wifi.

Xoom 4.0.3 screen opens by itself

I have had this problem even from android 3. My xoom will randomly open to lock screen, and if I don't see it it will stay there and drain it's battery. Is there a way to make it close the screen again automatically, or even prevent it from opening? I have tried everything, shutting down wifi completely (for notifications) among others.
i have same issue
Do you have a bluetooth headset connected to your device. Mine would turn on by itself if I left and active bluetooth device attached. Once I started turning of the bluetooth antenta regularly this stopped happening for me.
To tell you the truth I do have my iphone connected to my xoom via bluetooth but the bluetooth feature is off at all times except for when I need it (for teathering purposes). I just checked again and it is off (since months that I opened it last time) both on mobile andxoom. I will delete the pairing though and hope for the best.
Any other suggestions?

Random apps will think I have no network connection, when I obviously do... help!

Hey guys,
This problem has been going on for a week or two now. Phone worked great when I first got it, but something must have changed (newest Verizon update, perhaps?)
Let me preface this by saying I've seen this happen both on Wi-fi and 4G. When on Wi-fi, and it happens, I've tried turning Wi-fi off and still get the same errors.
The apps affected seem to be random. A couple days ago it was Google Maps, I was getting the "offline navigation" prompt. Today it was Chase (couldn't screenshot it), TeamViewer, IMDb and so on.
Here are some screenshots. Note the time in the pictures.
- First encountered the problem when opening TeamViewer.
- Did a Speedtest to confirm that yes, I'm really on 4G as the phone shows, and it's quite a stable and fast connection too.
- Let's try some more apps. Here's Target's Cartwheel
- Delta app? Same problem.
- TeamViewer Host app. Same problem as the client.
- IMDb. One more random one not working.
- Lastly, I went back to Pokémon Go to confirm I DO still have network connectivity (not sure why the screenshot got ghosted like that, but you can see I just redeemed items from a Pokéstop I was near with no errors)
So as you can see, the phone itself, as well as certain apps, work fine. But others don't. I tried turning airplane mode on and back off, disabling/enabling mobile networks, nothing works. The only thing I can do is reboot the phone.
Any ideas? This gets incredibly annoying as I can't seem to go a whole day without *some* app whining that it has no network access. Some apps work flawlessly every time (like the aforementioned Pokémon Go) but others don't.
By the way, that little screenshot button in the bottom left is from this neat app called Custom Navigation Bar. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with this problem, though, all it does is add buttons.

Any ideas? This gets incredibly annoying as I can't seem to go a whole day without *some* app whining that it has no network access. Some apps work flawlessly every time (like the aforementioned Pokémon Go) but others don't.
By the way, that little screenshot button in the bottom left is from this neat app called Custom Navigation Bar. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with this problem, though, all it does is add buttons.

Do you have powersave mode on? I've had some problems with it enabled..
No I don't have power save mode on. Should I turn off the power monitoring of apps as well? Didn't think that mattered as long as power save mode was off.

I turned all the power saving stuff off and still have this happening. As in, I set it to not even monitor how much power each app is using.
