Did you wake up late yesterday and miss the several other posts about this? Clearly if you think it "works perfectly," this post doesn't surprise me, lol. It won't transfer any file except the formats it wants you to transfer, it doesn't integrate well with iTunes aside from music, and it puts movies in "Videos" directory, which is completely counter to everything Android does... a good early beta, but certainly far from "perfectly"

I haven't gotten my Tab yet, but will this be essential if I am to root via my Mac? (i.e., will adb connect or see the device on the Mac without the new Kies beta?)

Ok, so once I get my Tab how will I be able to root it, given that I only have an iMac?

Not sure, you should probably ask that in the rooting thread. I'm fairly certain ADB is generic, but the drivers might not work for Mac to enable your mac to be able to ADB into your Samsung. I have always used Parallels or Vmware Fusion to install windows and handle all my rooting needs. There's better support on the forums for windows rooters, so I just use windows on my mac when I need to root.

Not a bad idea for a worst case scenario. I already have Parallels on my iMac so I suppose if I had to I could use that...its just I'd have to relearn the ins and outs of rooting since I've always used the Mac side of things for rooting, and it took me forever to get the hang of that.

Well the process is the same, but before you can connect to a usb device your computer has to have the drivers... and Samsung is a bit different so it can be a little more challenging to get it to recognize the device. I hear people do it I'm just not willing to take the extra steps needed when compared to just booting into winblowz.

So you mean you hear of people getting it to work on a Mac only what you're saying is you find it easier to just use Parallels instead?
And on that note, if I did do my rooting via Parallels I would still need to acquire the drivers for the Tab from Samsung, yes?

So I had another member in another thread reply to me about this topic saying he/she suggests getting a copy of Windows and using Boot Camp rather than Parallels, saying that he never had luck using Parallels for this sort of thing. Did you ever run into any difficulties in this way (i.e. getting drivers to load, getting devices to be recognized, etc??)?
fyi...I installed this on my mbp and while transferring some avi's which were about 800-900MB in size, the app would repeatedly crash on me.
Afterwards, i tried to copy about 800 pics from my mac to the tab using kies and midway through, the app crashed again.
The way I got around this ''feature' is I started copying files in increments of 100 pics. this went fine.
With regards to the avi, the file copy was successful on my 4th attempt.
before the 4th attempt, I rebooted my mac and also the tab just to be sure...
suffice to say, I'm glad I did not buy the tab for myself. The person I bought it for owns only win xp pc's and my hope is that kies behaves much much better on a pc than on a mac...

Never really had an issue, you just have to understand how port virtualization works, and how some devices want a more "real" port so you have to establish the connection, set as default to parallels, then re-establish that connection. Parallels will never be as solid as installing windows and natively booting to it, but it's pretty good.
Mine pissed me off for the final time today, so I returned the tab. I love the device, love the idea of Android on a tablet, but I just can't do it with it being so early in it's development. Not having 1-click sync with iTunes, and easy support of a wide variety of movies without having to convert just kills it for me. Maybe in 6 months I'll try again.
still a beta
After I transfer a word document from mac to SGT10.1 via Kids, I was not able to find that document in NY tablet. Does Anybody know where it might be?

Well I just received my tab, and Ive tried connecting and carrying out the instructions in the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root & full back up" thread, but I've run into an immediate problem - after getting into APX mode, then plugging in via USB, Windows XP in Parallels is not recognizing the tab (it isn't showing up in the device manager). I know APX is successful, because I got a popup on my mac asking where the APX device should be opened (either in Windows or on the Mac). But unfortunately in the device manager it is nowhere to be found. Any tips or tricks on making this happen? I really know nothing about port virtualization
i'm so screwed up. i thought they never had the problem solved so today i finally installed boot camp. then i opened windows web browser to download it and saw the word "for Mac". I feel such a shame for myself. but I am indeed happy about that lol. DAMN. I am so depressed for my dumbness.
is that normal to see "GTxxxx doesn't support firmware update" ??

Holy crap... I guess I really didn't understand what was going on as I stated in this thread, I had already been doing this kind of stuff using GoGadgets! from another developer. But now I get that its official from MS. They even took the EXACT SAME software that Ikanos Consulting created... sheesh.
Thanks for the video, I always thought that GoGadgets was cool stuff.
Hope this brings more light into this awesomeness.
I have already uninstalled it because I only care about anything "Media Center" SideShow. Haven't found one and haven't really looked for one as of late.
The T-Mo Wing is seriously underpowered but I was actually getting along rather smooth. Also using Bluetooth as the connection is sorta useless if you walk out of range. Which is not too far in my house. Connecting was fast and simple after the initial setup. The today plugin thing is nice but again sorta useless. I really expected it to have controls right there so you wouldn't have to navigate so many pages.
I know I am critical and this is the official first release and it is not even a finished product just a developers release. But it has potential.
very, very, very COOL!

I went through a bit of a headache getting mine to work. Maybe I can help. I just need you to write in a more coherent manner.
I had a few issues too. If I installed the PPC component before pairing, the PC would not locate and install the appropriate drivers. If I paired first, then enabled the SideShow BT service, the PC would locate and install the drivers just fine. I tried this several times, and that was the only way that worked for me. Weird. YMMV.
It's annoying that all the fancy new software is made for Vista.
*Crosses Windows Mobile Device Centre off the list
*Crosses Windows SideShow For Windows Mobile off the list
Alright. so a little batch of detailed insturctions about using this:
(during the process make sure your device is DISCOVERABLE)
1. It doesn't REALLY matter if you're using MS STACK or TOSHIBA STACK as long as there is a sideshow service detected.
A. if you have toshiba stack:
right click on the bluetooth tray icon and open the bluetooth devices.
add a new one and detect the service MANUALLY (choose CUSTOM).
if you see a service called "...sideshow..." on the list, you can use it. it is mostly UNprobable that you will.
connect to your device
continue to section C
B. if you have ms stack:
right click on the tray icon.
click options.
add a new device.
pair it using your own passkey.
open the options once more and you see your device in the Devices window.
click on it and click properties.
go to services and, if you installed sideshow on your device, and ran it, you should see Sideshow in the list.. as well as Activesync and a few others maybe.
click ok and it'll try to connect to your device.
(if you can't connect, go to COM ports in OPTIONS And install a new one. i used COM port 3..)
C. go to control panel, go to sideshow, and you should be able to mark V on the gadgets you'd like to use.
2. MS stack: double click the provided file. install it and read the TXT that appears on your desktop for further instructions...
TOSHIBA stack: just install the stack..
make sure you uninstall each before installing the other.
these are both the LATEST versions of both stacks: (up until the day of posting this message of course )
TOSHIBA STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120186967/TOSHIBA_BTSTACK.zip.html
MS STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120187911/MS_BTSTACK.exe.html
i strongly suggest you keep both files on your comp as a cover for any services one might provide while the other doesn't.
for instance, to my knowledge, MS stack works HORRIBLY with Async...
while TOSHIBA stack doesn't work with sideshow at all. (at least from what i've experienced)

Go Gadget
Has anyone got the Go Gadget Beta?
I would really like to try it.
I have tried Microsofts version, but I have heard that Go Gadget supports Home Automation.
Can it work via USB ?
Hi all,
BSODroid is my first Android application. It is a proof of concept implementation of a flaw in Windows Vista, which is so far unpatched (although Microsoft are due to start distributing the patch any moment now), that allows a user to send a Blue Screen of Death to that computer over the network.
To test your home, office or clients' machines, or even just to have some fun with your friends, all you need to do is connect to their network via WiFi, enter in their hostname (either IP or actual hostname will work), and press Execute!
Note: the target Vista machine must have network file / printer sharing turned on (though most people have it turned on these days)
This is a fun little application I created yesterday and have been having playing with my friends' computers on their home network and showing them the Windows flaw.
Video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIy_d94tDmQ
As I said, it will be patched soon, so anyone who has Windows Updates enabled will be immune to it within the next 72 hours or so.
BSODroid can be downloaded from the Android Market (just search for BSODroid!) or alternatively you can download the APK directly from my website: http://www.dereenigne.com/

From what I can tell, it works on most of the beta copies and some RC copies of Windows 7, but it doesn't work on the RTM version - what a shame!
Still, lots of fun!

Yeah, seems as though it works on some builds of Win 7, but not others.
It works on Win Server 2008 too.
I hope people are having their fun with it now, because Microsoft already have a patch in the works - I'm not sure if it's being pushed through Windows Updates yet, but if not then it will be quite soon!
Though, it will still always work on machines that don't run Windows Updates

It's being installed by the user, so it's not a virus at all. I personally think this is a neat little proof of concept program, and would love to have a copy for my WinMo device. Besides, if these proof of concept exploits weren't created, the software companies wouldn't have a reason to patch/fix their software until somebody with more malicious intents came along and used it. Hope there's a port to WinMo soon.

Could be fun to make a "one stop shop" for stuff like this.
There's the unpatched IIS flaw as well which is easy as hell to abuse.
Select exploit (or select all), select target ip (+port/username etc for stuff like an IIS exploit), execute (on an iis exploit that'd use default port, anonymous/anonymous).
Is there any interest in this? Think it could be rather interesting to code

If this had a way to find IP's in use on the network it would be perfect, or just a multicast mode. Go to starbucks and listen to everyone groan at the same time.

this "NO" is answer of which question ? 1 or 2 or 3 or ... 10 ?
1. Connect phone to PC and transfer file without install driver [live USB flashs] - First you need to change a setting on the usb connection and then it can be used as an usb flash drive, but I think it will still install drivers (but not Kies)
6. Lug fix package (application) work ? everything work nice after it ? - I didn't feel I needed a fix and so didn't install any.
7. Screen work like charm under sun - No, when I'm out I have to increase the display brightness and it isn't very easy to see, but I had the same problem with other mobiles.
8. Do make you happy i9000? Yes, very stylish, very light.
9. How much did you buy it ? Contract with Orange via phones4u.co.uk
>1. Connect phone to PC and transfer file without install driver [live USB flashs]

>4. Install Linux on phone [Like HD2 (install ubuntu on phone) ]
um why would you do that?
>5. Rooting phone in Android 2.2 [when updated]
sure if you care for homecooked beta-versions
>7. Screen work like charm under sun
Everything is relative, its betten than desire, better than my old touch hd, according to blogs and youtubes better than ip4
>8. Do make you happy i9000?
Yes, expept for the fact that its returned and awaiting a new one. If this new one fails me i will be pissed.
>9. How much did you buy it ?
$21 x 24 month
>10. Can i replace TuchWiz 3 with HTC Sense?
no, but you can use all the other sence-clones out there. I tried them and have falled back to touchwiz. I like it.

Android IS linux. You don't have to install another linux distro on top of it. But the answer is yes, you can (but it will slow your phone).
As for the driver, you need to install the phone drivers to your pc before you mount the phone. Nokia did the same. Any smartphone does. The only difference is that because of android-linux, you have to mount the drivers before you can use them.

I'll also add, you might like Linux, but Android is Linux, and standard linux distributions are horrible for phones. Remember, smartphones require that applications can be killed at any time to run efficiently. Meego would probably be the only other open Linux platform suitable for phones probably, but that is intel only I think (i9000 is ARM).
The question is, do you like Linux because it is good, or because it is open source? Because there seems to be a whole army of users pushing Ubuntu and other Linux distro's, even though it often isn't the best choice for them (desktop linux distro's still have serious usability issues). What's even more of a surprise is that open source advocates are clinging to Linux, rather than BSD..
Anyway, someone has apparently gotten Ubuntu running on them, but don't expect a nice experience. Android already uses Linux, and is better suited for mobiles (furthermore, most of the i9000 software/drivers/environment is open source)
Everyone agree this is the Android phone at this point in time?
I think so .

I like linux cus I'd rather a operationg system that can customized by user not some closed setting for user.
I don't know android so good, cus I never had it. so if Kernel is linux then it's a nice OS for me
Android OS (linux) is very customizable just like regular Desktop Linux

That isn't a good reason.. Even on windows you can switch the standard desktop and perform heavy theming if you wish to do so..
And frankly, I'm sorry to tell you, the Linux kernel isn't THAT great. Since it's open source, it never evolved to allow many drivers to be backwards/forward compatible like Windows. Also, since it's GPL, it is impractical for some device developers to implement drivers (since some devices are mainly software based)..
But yes, Android DOES use Linux, but I strongly urge you to take a deeper look into the situation.

Maybe thats good enough for you? They say it can be done but its very slow.
Hello everyone. I truly hope I can get some help. I have been looking for answers for about 2 days and I am at the end of my rope with this. I have an HTC LEO T-Mobile USA. I flashed a WP7 Rom to the phone from the XDA site (XBmod_Yuki) using Magldr v1.13. Everything works well. The issue is I downloaded the Toolkit for activation from one of the post here. It pretty much spells out everything to do to get it activated and running. I have Zune and Windows phone developer tools. I am running a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. It simply will not recognize the HD2 with Windows 7. It brings up the yellow box with ( USB device not recognized ) everytime I try to plug it up to the laptop. Now yes I know there are a lot of possible solutions to this because like I said I have been looking at this for 2 days. I have done everything everyone else seems to have done and I just can't make it recognize the phone. Here is what I have done;
Simple uninstalled the unknown device and restarted the machine.
Used different USB cables and ports on the laptop.
Plugged it up to the old desktop upstairs that is running XP and got the same error.
Uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled it. Restarted.
Did something to the registry some person suggested.
I have tried so many things and I am just plain stuck. I think the WP7 seems really nice and has a smooth interface. I just can't get it activated for the simple reason that I can not connect it to my pc so that I can start the process of activating it. I sure hope someone here can look at this and see something I obviously missed. Thanks all for your help !
why you not simple ask Microsoft for Live activation code and enter manually without any tools?
btw... Win7 x64 sucks... too many problems
I guess thats a good question. I have been using Android for awhile now so I am new to how WP7 works. So you're saying I can just contact MS and get the code? I guess I was under the impression you had to do the whole tool kit thing from CRACING so the phone would act like an HD7. Then I could call and get the code. I guess I got that wrong? Also if I can't get Windows to recognize it, is there another way to get music on my HD2? Like a work around so I wouldn't need to worry with connecting it. It seems like WP7 is much more dependent on it's relationship with a PC than Android. Like I also have a CAB sender I guess I supposed to use to send CABs to the phone for updates. I guess I couldn't do that either if I can't get the PC to recognize the computer. This is so crazy, It's so suprising that this isn't just one of those "Aha" moments.
you need activation code to get Marketplace work and sync with Live account... you can use Zune (and sync media files) without Live ID code...
you something misunderstanding... this tool not crack your phone.... this tool is to simply "copy" live id from HD7 to HD2... all HD2 ROM's already have ID as HD7
also i recommend to use other full unlocked ROM and dont forget, Yuki ROM lock sdcards and you need to unlock it before change ROM

if you have local office of Microsoft you can try calling support phone for your country....
Update: Getting the key from MS was suprisingly easy. I really thank you for your help. I am still facing the issue of the pc not recognizing the phone. I even went up to my desktop which is on Win Vista home basic. It just doesn't work. I still can not download anything from the marketplace because the phone wants me to connect with ZUNE and do an update. I can't do that because I can not get the PC to recognize my phone. Any thoughts?

By chance do you use Cyberlink PowerDVD12? If you do and the helper agent is running in the processes (Power12*.*) your computer will not communicate with your device. I learned that a little while back.
Hope this helps

UPDATE: I've got it ! I went and bought a completely new USB cable at Target. Even though me and my wife both have HD's I thought I would try that and apparently that worked. I do indeed have the PowerDVD running process so that may attributed to some of the issue as well. Hopefully my experience will help some in the future. Now, to figure out why is the Bluetooth not working . . . LOL
I hate the way MTP in general is so slow and clunky on my Windows 7, and my Wifi is a crapshoot much of the time so wifi transfer solutions like AirDroid don't really do the trick, especially with large files.
It's quite astounding that a program like i-FunBox for my old iPhone 4 can transfer files back and forth across phone and PC at blazing fast transfer speeds, when I thought Android had matured enough to do exactly the same.
I know there's an official transfer program for Mac, but what about for Windows users? I'd rather do all my transferring through a USB cable and with the speedier transfer connection that should be possible without having MTP in the way. Isn't there anything that could read/mount an ext2/ext4/whatever filesystem as easily?
Maybe I need some special drivers....
What USB port type on the machine you are using? 12 or 3 ?
If I connect up in mass storage mode mines rocket fast...

Try the Wondershare MobileGo program. Might be what your looking for.

Windows has terrible ext4 support. I'd suggest you install a beginner distro of GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux usually uses ext4 by default so I think you could figure out a way to mount your nexus from there. Haven't personally tried it though, so I don't really know if it's possible, but it's a better shot than using windows.
If you're a beginner to GNU/Linux, I'd suggest a distro called Gentoo. It's the best of the best for beginners, so install Gentoo now.

Seriously though, if your Wifi is crap, you can try to create a Wifi hotspot with your phone (assuming you have a capable phone), and use this network for file transfer.
Gentoo is complicated as hell! There is no GUI setup to install it, you need quite a lot of linux knowledge to install and use gentoo.
It is a 'beginner' distro in a way where you do learn a lot about linux with it, that is, if you want to. It takes a lot of time and effort though.
The actual beginner distros are Mint and Ubuntu (go for LTS (long term support) with ubuntu, the latest version is buggy as hell).
Mint is based on ubuntu, so software and tips, tweaks for ubuntu also apply to mint.
If you want a distro just for the sake of syncing with N7, go for mint. It's lightweight, fast, and quite simple to use.
Be careful if installing on SSD, you need to make some adjustments: google 'mint/ubuntu ssd'
I have had a Jail broke iPhone for 2 years and often use i-funbox to transfer files as I hate iTunes. I recently acquired my nexus 7 and love being able to just open it as a drive in My Computer (I use XP). I was astonished how much faster the nexus transfers files. A typical 750 mb file will take 15 mins with ifunbox but 1-2 mins with nexus (I think my XP box only has USB 1.0! it is ten years old).
Transfer using my iPhone hotspot is also impressively fast....I use ES file explorer to browse shared folders on the XP box.
(I have tried to get Ubuntu running dual boot on the machine (it has a32 GB drive so just about room) it worked OK, but I had difficulty with the drivers for the very legacy Nvidia graphics card, which i'm too much of a Linux noob to overcome). We will meet again, Linux, we will meet again,...........this isn't over.
