why? there is no internet share option in the new roger 2.1 firmware

the new roger 2.1 firmware update is great, but there is no internet share option in the settings ,can someone tell me why ?

I can only guess but I assume Rogers must have objected to that option.
Presumably an update for european carriers would not have that limitation, but it seems they have not displayed interest in providing their magic users with an update at all.

Because the cat is furry.

Because you posted this in the wrong section.

I don't think its rogers' fault
because cyanogen6 doesn't have built in WiFi tether either. If you switch to a rooted Rom you can use an app called barnacle for WiFi tethering

WIFI Error

Alright so I went from FRF91 to FRG83 last night and I made it so that I would be able to keep root and now I'm having an issue with Wireless. Each time I try to turn WIFI on it just says "Error"
Any ideas, suggestions, or comments?

Just thought about flashing FRF91 again..

What radio version do you have? The updated wifi driver of the new rom may need a newer radio than the one you have.

Thanks for your response I'm some what new to this how can I find out the radio version?

Check your proxy settings(menu> settings> wireless> proxy), write down what you see (just in case), then delete everything...

I don't see anything that mentions Proxy..

Last option under wireless settings is proxy. You may have to scroll...

It's NOT a problem of wifi setting, it's that he cannot turn the wi-fi ON. Instead he now has a "wifi error" instead of "wifi off" or "wifi not connected".
The problem most probably is that the wifi driver of the new kernel is not compatible with its radio.
To check the radio version go to : settings-about phone-software informations-baseband version.

Look at logcat, I bet it's permissions. I had this happen after manually editing the wpa_supplicant.conf once and the ownership changed from wifi (wireless? I forget, look at the owner of wpa_supplicant with ps) to root.
fix_permissions MIGHT fix it, not sure.

What FRF91 to FRG83 zip did you use? there is one floating around with this as a known issue
From kenkinder.com/2010/10/05/update-your-rooted-nexus-one-from-frf91-android-2-2froyo-to-frg83-2-2-1/
Superboot and wifi driver issue
I’ve gotten a report that the wifi driver will not load if you flash the superboot version, but then again it’s working for other people. If you experience this problem or find a work around, let us all know in the comments section.

Try using a different update zip. I ran into the same problem and reverted back to FRF91 used a different update package. I forget which one though
In the comments from the site above
I confirm the wifi issue, but I was able to resolve it simply by reverting the /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko to FRF91.

Good infos here on how to fixed the problems
http://kenkinder.com/2010/10/05/upd...e-from-frf91-android-2-2froyo-to-frg83-2-2-1/

Well I still have this problem. I havent installed FRF91 or FRG83. In fact I've just updated via OTA FRG83G. Any solution?

I had the wifi error when I flashed CM7 for the first time, fix permissions fixed it for me. Hopefully its as easy as that for you as well.

[Q] Galaxy TAB firmware official upgrade to JJ7

Hi All,
I bought my galaxy tab yesterday from Currys UK. I have been a very happy user of HTC Desire and now i thought to move to bigger screen.
Today, when I connected my phone using Samsung Kies, it informed that there are new firmware (*JJ7) available for tab. My tab currently has firmware *JJ3. I am currently installing the upgrade using Kies but its kindda slow.
Few questions --
1. Firmware upgrade - I think it is same as we say ROM upgrade in HTC phones. Right?
2. In Desire, I used to get OTA (Over the air) upgrade. Is this not the case in Samsung? Will I always get updates via PC? if yes then what a shame?
3. Not sure what benefit I am gonna get after firmware upgrade but its good to be on latest official version.
Thanks in advance.
JM

With the unofficial JM6 ROM (see the other discussion thread in this forum), there is a "Software Update" service that runs in the background, presumably to check for the latest available version of vendor-provided features...or maybe it checks for the latest Samsung stuff...not sure.
Let us know how it goes with the official firmware update.

Hi,
After firmware upgrade, i dont see any major difference, in fact i just used my new galaxy tab for few hrs so probably i would not be able to make a judgement what's the difference.
But its working very well. If you have any specific question then i can try to answer that.
One thing, I am using Google talk on my tab, messages are not in proper sorted order as per date. It's been sorted as per person which means I am getting all the other side messages on the top.
Could you please help me to figure out how can i rectify it or Do I need to upgrade my Gtalk App. Unfortunatly I am not getting this app in Mrket place.
Regards,
JM

Can you do me a favour, open your browser and go to the UK's PeakFM web site and see if you can view the page, click on any of the boxed links and navigate correctly through the web site.
I am finding certain web sites such as this and others are not being displayed correctly, so if the update has cured that I would jump at upgrading.
Thanks.

Hi, could you let me know if this upgrade wiped your Tab please? i.e. you had to reinstall all apps, redo all home screen customization etc?

Have you seen the size of the firmware packages for the tab? Many people won't be too keen on downloading around 300MB over their cell connection.
Having to plug it into the PC once every few months is not that much of a chore.

No-one has yet to find an official changelog for any of the versions of the firmware, Samsung is unlikely to release this information to the public.

No, all my apps are intact after applying the update.
I haven't seen the email app crash since the update (it used to crash reliably every 2nd time) and I haven't had the camera preview messed up either. Of course either of these might just be luck, but here's hoping.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I just updated the firmware.
All the bugs that i know of is still there, the browser lag, the video player thumbnail generation lag, etc.
Don't know what has been fixed here, unless i can see a changelog and test it.
My phone version has been updated from J16 to JJ1.
PDA JJ1 to JK3.
EDIT: The Gallery Loading is faster...ie. it generates the thumbnails almost instantly now. I have around 5-8 folders with over 1 GB of images inside.

That may be the case but Kies is an absolute nightmare.
I also have an SGS and when I applied an upgrade for Froyo on a stock SGS with nothing altered Kies 'bricked' the phone.
Luckily I could still do the 3-Button Recovery so managed to wipe the phone clean and use Odin with the upgrade ROM from samfirmware.com
As such I am no fan of Kies and not looking forward to connecting my Tab to it.
Question to everyone else who has done the upgrade ~ has anyone experienced any difficulties with Kies and the Tab?

I just upgraded also and can't really spot any changes so far. The upgrade did preserve everything, although I had to re-root. Oddly Opera Mobile was crashing a lot also (it hardly ever did prior to the upgrade), but an uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed that.

It worked ok for me, although what are Mac users supposed to do? Luckily I had a PC in the house I could use.

Hi,
Upgrade was quite slow. It took 30-45 mins.
My all apps and home screen customisations are intact. That's really good.

Works fine using miren browser on the old firmware

How come I don't get the update in kies? It says my device is already running the latest firmware. I'm on an unlocked and unbranded euro version of the tab.
edit: is it because I rooted it?

It's not because you've rooted anyway because I've done that and I got the update. Perhaps you really are already on the latest? My Tab is an unlocked one bought in the UK on the day of release and was running JJ3 originally.

It would appear the update is for JJ users as in JJ3 to JJ7.

On HTC phones, you are notified that an update is available for download, and then advised that it may be better to switch to WiFi before downloading.

Try telling that to someone who is running OS/X or Linux!
Yes, I know you can use a VM, but:
a) That *is* a chore!
b) You need to have a Windows license, which some people might not legally have.
EDIT: I see there is a Kies Mini now for OS/X users!
OTA is definitely the way to go IMHO.

Couldn't agree more with you Dave.... Kies is an absolute nightmare. Besides the insane method Samsung use, you connect and take a chance it does not brick your phone.

I'm using OSX at the moment and am fine with having to boot into my win7 partition or use my WinXP VM if need be.
In order to download a 300MB file OTA, i'd either need to change my data plan to one that costs me an extra $30/month, or pay 10c/mb for data beyond my current cap. Not everywhere has good cellular data plans, although Europe, North America and Asis, would encompass >95% of their target market, so I can't imagine they'd care too much.
Obviously they _should_ support OSX users as it's a reasonable sized market, although probably most OSX users would be more likely to get an iPad as they're already suckling at the teat of Jobs. It's simply a USB/COM gateway, basically just an adb redirect, so other than the UI it's not like it's complicated for them to implement as most of the framework already exists in the SDK.

New Kies 2.0.1.11053_66_6

New Kies version out today. Maybe some other candy is right around the corner.
This did not come up when pressing Check for updates in my 2.0.0 version. So you have to manually download from samsung.com.

He's not wrong either

wow , its really big new who is using the kies anymore ??

I used kies to update to the latest gingerbread. And all the errors encountered before by flashing manually to gingerbread using odin are not there anymore. It is always good to be "official" sometimes....
But then, all the thrill is lost...

it seems that we will never see KIES on mac
it's not fair.....

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...WA3IE&prd_mdl_name=GT-P1000&srchword=GT-P1000

Upgraded & Sync'g
Installed the update obtained from the German site and all went well.
I did have my P1010 USB attached during the update (actually, it uninstalled the prior version first) then sync'd my calendar & notes from Outlook 2003. The 1st sync done in this version is STILL running, is in its 2nd pass, and taking a lot longer than the prior version, perhaps going through some set-up or ??. Will add to this post when check out the sync
Done, took about 30 minutes so hope this was related to the newer version but .... Worked as expected

Kies sucks

Update to ZUI 2.0 (Z2 Pro) - No Internet connection

Hi everyone!
I just got my device today and so far all is going well, except the update. I had a notification that ZUI 2.0 was avialable to me. So I backed up everything (scince it is easy due to iCloud support), and wanted to download and install the update. All I ended up was with an message saying that there is no internet connection and that the download failed. Has anyone an idea how to fix this or is the only way flashing the 2.0?
Cheers!

i have the same problem, trying to figure out how to update manually...... but if someone knows a solution i would be very glad....

OTAs are geo-locked. You need a vpn to a Chinese server to make it work according to some.
After vpn connection has been made you need to stop the update process and clear the cache. Then check for updates

Is due to you need a VPN in china to be able to download OTA and update the phone. Before, you need to clear cache or delete update folder files and later conect via VPN, for ex. vpneasy or others, to China. You will be able to download OTA and update your phone.

Where can I find OTA in my device? Searched in whole settings, but didn't find any update-link our OTA
