Ok its been a day and still not able to access Samsung apps, any one else having these problems?
EDIT: i think i figured out why my Samsung Apps app does not work, i recently installed Media Hub from an AT&T tab thread and i had to change some build.prop files in order for it to work. Now i am looking for a working Media Hub app for my T-Mobile tab.

Well i had some probs as well. Changed the /system/csc/sales_code.dat==> to VDF.
Build.prop:
ro.product.locale.language=nl
ro.product.locale.region=NL
That gave me full acces to Samsung Apps en Media-Hub widget
I asked samsungapps directly about this problem and was told that samsungapps was not supported on the Galaxy Tab. Strange that it downloads the Tabs 4 main apps from samsungapps when you first start using the Tab but then nothing. I put the same SIM in my phone and samsungapps went fine. It is just blocked on the Tab. Kies told me the same thing.
That is it in Thailand anyway, it may be a different story in other countries but I know samsungapps doesn't work in Laos which is a short swim away over the Mekong.
It is a bit like google market, technically only available in certain countries.

i really could not tell you what the differences are but all i can tell you is that i got the build.prop from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909058
it sates to use this build.prop to work with the Media Hub.
well actually what i can remember is that my original build.prop has the devise name as GT-P100 (from Euro firmware)
and the region as GB
and the build.prop i used from the thread had the devise name as SGH-I987 (from At&T)
and region as US
now on the back of my tab it reads as devise being SGH-T849 (from T-Mobile)
i couldnt tell you any other differences between the two that would make my Samsung Apps app stop from working.
sorry cant really get a screen capture.......

Hi,
I've got problem after updating my X10 into R2B020. I found my simtoolkit was disappeared. Oh yes, my playnow was disappeared too. Does anyone know how to get them back? Especially the sim toolkit.
Thanks.

Are u using a home replacement app? i know a couple like Panda that can hide certain apps?
if your rooted, it may just be a accidental change of one true/false value
but all i can say for sure is to REINSTALL the OS, back everything up and start again
are u using your origional rom?
Yes, I use original rom. Previously I updated the firmwire through SEUS but suddenly my sim toolkit disappeared.
I didn't use any home replacement. I had shortcut to sim toolkit in home screen but now the shortcut is not working anymore.
Any suggestion how to bring it back?

I thought you can't remove STK unless your phone is rooted. Have you tried to update into R2BA020? Mine is gone.. but I want it back since it has phone banking service.
Mine is rooted but I didnt have courage to remove it since Ive had major issues when I have removed GTalk...
Just make backup first than remove it. You may use andro to make backup. If your phone is not working Perfectly, than you can restore.
Still curious how to get sim tool kit back.

i managed to get the play now back. but the STK, sorry cant do as of now.
here is how:
1. download OI Manager apps from market
2. once install, open the apps and look for the folder called "system" then "app"
3. look for the file name called "playnowarena.apk" and "playnowarena_updater.apk" and install them.
4. Your play now should now back to your file list.
note: the STK.apk is in the folder too, but it give an error message "cannot install in this phone." so i guess there is a program or bug that SE wrote this build number and caused the STK and play now app from installing when doing the update.
Thanks for advice. But somehow it didn't work for me.
I installed IO file manager then I went to /system/apps but can't find playnowarena.stk and playnowarena_updater.stk. If I used astro, then those 2 stk are there.
I've contacted sony ericsson support regarding this issue but no respond yet.

Anyone know how to delete the Serve.me app that came reinstalled on the phone? I used Titainium Backup to uninstall it but it doesn't work.
Never heard of it. Is your phone rooted?
It's rooted. The Serve.Me app is in French. I found a Youtube video testing the app but I can't post external link. Just search for "Serve.Me John Paul" if you're interested.

I have never heard of this, however it could suggest that the phone is branded, perhaps debrand to get rid. I had an app called traffic tv that i just couldnt get rid of, once i debranded it disappeared no problem. It also means that the delayed 2.1 update will be available before your operator adds their "features"

With RootExplorer have a look in data/app-private and if there is an apk in there of it delete that too, and from data/app also.

I believe that app is installed in the generic french firmware.
I got rid of it by replacing the generic french firmware with uk generic.

with the lock screen visible.. press the following key combo..
Menu back back menu Back Menu menu back
This will give you a service menu... select "service info" then "Model info"
That will tell you the phone model, country, and brand.
Thanks. It states country is France and brand customized FR.
So i guess that mean its branded?
Is there a customized firmware for north america? I saw the debrand thread but there are too many files.
Not sure which to get.

Hi,
Some latest ROMs based on JVP, JVQ and JVR have one defict: With virtual operator there is a roaming sign, and the operation mode shows, that the phone is in roaming. Like mine I9000 in Finnish "Saunalahti".
The solution is to:
1. Put into folder "/system/etc" the file "spn-conf.xml" using your favorite method (ADB / root / etc.).
2. Reboot the phone.
Thanks, man! Solved my problem w/ Saunalahti
Any tips how to get this to work with MIUI rom? I'm also on Saunalahti and suffering from this virtual operator issue. I tried to copy that file to my /system/etc folder and reboot but the roaming sign just won't go off.
Same problem here, MIUI doesn't obey this option. I started a thread about this, so now it's just waiting
Problems also with ICS (beta1 by onecosmic) too. I can get the operator name to change, but fake_home_on part doesnt work.
Quite nice otherwise though..
Does anyone know the codes for USA TMobile?
I have a GT-I9000 international and it keeps the little R on the Operator.
Thanks!

Dunno if this helps but:
You can check out your current codes with network info II (for example)

Saunalahti, XXJVU-rom, roaming fixed
Thank you so much!
Updated my Samsung Galaxy S to XXJVU after some failed attempts at ICS.
Had gotten hold of some version, where my favoured Scandinavian keyboards wasn't optional either. I set the correct APN, but the "R"(roaming) wouldn't disappear.
Got internet connection when I had roaming enabled, not otherwise.
Checked my online-billing statistics from my operator, Saunalahti. Stats updates very often
and it stated I had been using my own connection for a couple of minutes,
all OK so far, but I don't want to have roaming enabled...
Transferred the file into /system/etc/ with Root Browser-app, got the phone rooted already.
Rebooted.
R disappeared, no roaming, 3G working.
Checked my statistics again. Minutes, kb:s had been ticking on my monthly flat rate.
Just as it should be.
By the way, in system/etc/ I found another file: apns-conf.xml , listing some apn-carriers,
but, in my case, mainly Asian or Brazilian, no sign of anything close to Scandinavia.
Maybe it also could be possible to replace that one with a correctly localised version?
But these spnOverrides worked for me, so I'm happy, thanks!
Just wanted to inform that CM9 now has an option to enable national roaming only. In my case (Telfort NL) it got rid of the annoying R Don't know about other ICS roms...
Also using kf1 or kb3 radios helps.

I downloaded Mount /system (rw / ro) app and mounted system dir as r/w but it still didn't work. I made the system dir r/w from the app and also from boot. I tried transfering it with Root Browser and Astro both said either failed or access denied or something. I'm running XXJW4 and did CF-Root. Can't understand whats wrong. Is there another way to make system dir r/w or what?
Also when I browse the folders with Root Browser or Astro I find that etc folder before system dir like /etc and also inside the system dir /system/etc. The etc folder seems to have the same files inside both folders but are they the same or is it a bug or what?
Downloaded Super Manager and gave it root access and now it finally worked! it still goes for roaming for a second in boot but thats propably normal. Do still have manually configured your APN? I too have Saunalahti.

Hi,
I bought a second hand Galaxy S a week or so ago that was modded with ICS installed. Since then, i've installed CM 7.2 and would like to unlock the phone for my mom so she can use it on Telus. When I bought it, I was told it was a Bell Galaxy S and since Bell and Telus work on the same network, it should be possible (I don't think it's a Rogers Galaxy S). It is already rooted and I tried the app Galaxy S Unlock buit it won't unlock the headset. The bars stay greyed out with a little X and no service. Can't get this to work, anyone have any ideas?
Try a different unlock app.
Otherwise, try flashing a rooted stock rom and try the unlock app again
Those apps are the easiest way to unlock the s.
Did you install busy box before using the app?

Please post here issues you are facing with latest update.
Thanks!!
None of my end so far. I just updated it last night around 1am EST. Been running since then perfectly fine. The phone is noticeably faster than before and has a quicker response time as well.
After the update the only thing I did have to do extra was reinstall SwiftKey. Any programs that I had that were in a paid status had to be reinstalled. Non-paid apps stayed with no issue.

Restoring with ODIN worked great, must have been trying with the wrong ROM. Now just wish we could root this one and have a variant of the 4.4 that did not have all the bloatware. Don't need all the Samsung and AT&T apps.

Overall Ifind the update made my phone much snappier and the data seems faster but speedtest has it the same. The illusion must be from the phone being snappier. I disable new bloatware Beats Music.
I wanted to try ART but it appears Samsung has chosen not to include it.I'm hoping the pieces are still there and it can be enabled once root is obtained.
I have not had any SD Card issues but if I do I assume it may be something that can be worked around with root. So looking for a root method, I am.

It is supposed to work with the built-in file manager, but not with third party apps. Can you tell me which file explorers (beside the built in) lets you rename files on the external SD? I have tried several and that all fail (except the built in one).
It works fine.
