[Q] Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 (YP-G1) Questions - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, I am a big supporter of searching before posting. Trouble is, in my case, it seems that either I am using the wrong search string or my questions have not been answered. That said, before I post my questions, I want to apologize in advance for any re-posts on my part.
I have a few questions on changing/updating my Galaxy S WiFi 4.0. On the box was YP-G1CW/COO. Kies shows, as the current firmware, PDA:KE1 / CSC:KE1 (COO) and on the Galaxy info screen it says I have FROYO.XXKE1 for a build version.
1 - It appears that I successfully rooted it but when I try to install BusyBox, it shows that my 'System Storage' has 0.00B free. Did I do something wrong? How can I fix that?
2 - There is one app in particular (Pinger TextFree) that I want to get. According to Pinger, the app is available for Android but apparently, only in the US. Which leads me to my next question - Can I change the country code to a US country code? If so, how?
3 - I was also wondering about the GPS. It 'finds' my location (after about 5 minutes) but never (at least not in 40 minutes) gets the driving directions. Is there a 'fix' for that? Should I get a different GPS app? If so, which one would you recommend?
4 - Lastly, I have been reading a lot about the cons of upgrading from Froyo to Gingerbread. What are the pros? Would I be better off sticking with Froyo?
I am hopeful that someone out there will be able to provide me with a few answers.
Thanks in advance to everyone for your consideration.

2- use market enabler app to fake your country.
3- Gps works badly in low ride area... and you can use Gps fixer in market to download your location first before you use it.

Tried Market Enabler...still dont see the app...I can see it online and it says my device is not compatible. I linked it with my Google account so when I log in it says the app is not compatible with my device. Since it is a non US device, I am looking for a way to "change" it. Any suggestions?
As for the GPS, although it takes longer to "find me", it does. What I was wondering about was how to 'make' it get the directions faster or at all. Since it is not a phone and doesnt have 3g, should i let it get the directions before I leave the WiFi area?
Thanks again...

Purchase Cancelled - Cannot be installed in your country....grrrr

grrrrr.....can someone please help!!! I have seen multiple posts about this and I cannot believe there is not a long term fix.
Background
I have a GT 10.1 purchased from the USA...wifi only. I currently live in China. I have a Google account setup with a US credit card. I am using a VPN which gives a Utah IP address. I still cannot see most paid apps in Marketplace nor download and install many. I have many friends with iPads that do not have this restriction but I desperately want to stay with Android, but cannot believe Google has made this so frustrating.
Non-solution
Please do not recommend MarketEnabler. This app may work fine for some units if they have a radio but it does not work for wifi only devices.
Solution
I am able to get it to work following these instructions, but I have to do this every time and it is a pain....there has to be some setting or program that will make this easier. Can anyone please help me and the multitude of others that post about this same thing? There has to be some setting in build.prop or something that is controlling this. Thank you in advance.
1) Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Find Market and force stop it then clear cache.
2) Go into Settings>Accounts and sync and remove all of your google accounts. (I have not always had to perform this step but often it is required for some reason. Don't worry they are easy to add back and nothing gets deleted.)
3) Connect to a USA VPN.
4) Add back your main Google account that has an associated US credit card.
5) Open Market place and when you do you will have to agree to the terms and conditions again. Accept this. At this point you should be able to find and download most of those apps that you could not previously.
6) Now you can add back in all of your other Google accounts if you have more.
Please someone help us....there has to be an easier way!
Sorry to bother, but can anyone recommend a better way around this? Thank you.

If you have a SIM card from another country (your home country maybe?) , switch that into your SIM slot after removing you China Mobile/China Unicom SIM. Then you install the app with the foreign country SIM and once done, put in your China SIM once again
Source: I regularly do this to my HTC Desire and wife's Galaxy S2 and we live in China.
However, if you do not have SIM from another country, you're SOL. If you find out another way to do this, please let me know as well with the Note 10.1

Does your viewsonic g-tablet NO LONGER appear in the Android Market?

I noticed several weeks back that my tab was not listed as a device in the the market when I visited the web-market. I could see my phone, but not my tab. It had been there. What happened to it? I began to think I broke *that* functionality of it somehow. I mean, I screw with my tab constantly.
I conveniently noticed there was an update for VeganGinger (7.10) so I went for it. Nope. No market device listing. (the 7.10 update broke it, I thot) Okay. Let's try Flashback. Nope. And, it's a *known issue.* Damn.
This morning, I emailed Google: For the last few weeks, I have been unable to "see" my device on the market. My phone is listed as my device, but my tablet has vanished from the list. I am still able to download apps from the tablet. It's just that my viewsonic g-tablet does not appear in the list of my devices. It's inconvenient when I want to install a market app to my tablet from the "web" android market.
A very nice person replied: Hi there, Thanks for contacting us today. According to our records, the device that you are using is not supported for use with Android Market at this time.
The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Android Market is an application created by Google that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install Android Market on their devices.
For more information about the Android Compatibility Program, please visit: http://source.android.com/compatibility/index.html
If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your device directly. I’ve provided a link below for your convenience: http://www.viewsonic.com/support/
I was unsatisfied, and a bit annoyed, so I replied and asked: As I mentioned, my device *had previously* shown up in the market.
Does the removal of my device mean that google has changed their device compatibility specs? Or that they are enforcing those specifications more stringently?
Additionally, is there anything I can do to allow my device to show up again? Or am I caught between google and a manufacturer that has stopped supporting their device?
Their answer: Your device wasn't ever a supported device unfortunately.
It does sometimes take a while for Market to recognize that the device is unsupported but once it does it isn't reversible. Viewsonic should have suggestions for alternative app sources. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.
WHAT? Not reversible? Oh dear.
One more question: Will the limited Market functionality I currently have on my viewsonic device continue, or will it "go away" in the future?
The google answer: At this time, I can't say for sure whether you'll retain the access you currently have or not. I'm not aware of any planned updates to Market that would affect this but that doesn't mean they aren't in the works behind the scenes.
So, my fellow Viewsonic aficionados, there is the answer to the "howcum I don't see my g-tab anymore...?" queries. I just thought you'd all want to know.

BTW, If this info helped you, don't hesitate to hit the "thanks" button, k?

Yep. Your choices are to use Amazon (which works fine) and keep using the Market app (updated one, if needed, for HC roms) to download updates & freebies from the Market directly on the device.
And continue to scratch your head at the mess that is Android.
I'm glad i sold my Gtablet and got the HTC Flyer when Best Buy had them on sale.

Thanks, Tidbit.
And now, we return you to the thread.
So, is anyone aware of a way to clear/change identifying info from the g-tab to restore this ability, or do we collectively think it's a lost cause?

Not having it show up in the web store is not a big issue for me. Just download from the market on the tablet?

I am betting that it has something that needs to be changed in the build.prop in /system
If we can figure out which part needs to be changed to transmit a different ID to the market, then I imagine we as GTablet users should be golden. I can still buy and install on the device, just not from Web Market. Oh well....I still have 2.3.7 and very few other users do...yay Cyanogenmod!
Same problem with 10s
I have the same problem with a Viewsonic 10s. Mine has a stock rom and installing the market apk didn't work. Will flashing a new ROM fix things? Or having Root access allow installing apps from the SD?
I still have a few says to return the tablet so if things don't resolve themselves soon, back it goes.

No. I have flashed three times since this discovery, to no avail.
You can *still* browse and install the apps from Android Market to your device.
*The only functionality this affects is the ability to install an app to your tab when you're browsing the Market from your PC.*
Dan
Doesn't the 'market fix' that changes the device ID to allow more apps to show up, already accomplish this?

I was using 'olympus' as the device= in my G Tab build.prop but recently found I could not install the Eye-Fi app... so I changed the device= to 'sholes' (same as my original Moto Droid which downloaded the app just fine)... bust still no love on the G Tab.
what device= are you folks using in build.prop on your G Tab?

Samsung Galaxy S2 GT - I9100

Hello,
I have this Samsung Galaxy S2 GT - I9100, which I originally rooted when it had Gingerbread 2.3.4, then using Mobile Odin I flashed it ICS 4.0.3, XXPLQ. Everything went smooth. Until a few hours later when a few apps started disappearing. 12 total. I tried restoring them with titanium backup (from a backup I had done before flashing ICS) but it won't let me do it. I can't reinstall the apps from Google Play either.
Any ideas on what should I do?
Please explain with as much detail as possible. I'm still new to the flashing roms world
Thanks,
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
hi and welcome to the forum.
to improve the chance of getting good answers, you should change the thread title to something like "disappearing apps after ics update" or something similar. just stating the device's name is redundant, as you are in a section of the forum, which deals exclusively with that model.
also, questions go in the q&a section, but don't worry, i reported it to be moved.
also, you should post, what specific apps you are talking about and of what kind they are, are they free or paid, are they generally available on the play store for your country? have you checked the play store from a pc to look for those apps? ...and so on. being really specific makes it way easier to help.
Hello, you are correct, i'm sorry for the title and lack of more info. I can't edit the thread title so, if you or any other moderator can do so, feel free to do it.
About my problem, I could not give more details because there was no much relevant info to give. There were 12 apps total that suddenly disappeared after flashing. Among those were:
2 games from Game Insight (Airport City and My Country)
Mobile Odin
Akdiko Reader
Mantano Free Reader
Complete Edition UEFA.com
Amazon.com Android App
Virtual City playground
Angry Birds Space Premium
and a couple more I can't recall
I didn't see anything in common among those apps, except the error was that it couldn't install on usb storage or sd card.
An hour ago, a friend of mine pointed out to me that I had a problem that I should look for the sd fix, and directed me to download CF Root 5.4 (I used CF Root 5.3 to root the phone after flashing the firmware).
Apparently there is a bug with 5.3 that caused this on some games and apps (no idea why). So, I flashed the new kernel root and all is well, I was able to restore the apps and data with Titanium.
I guess this same bug caused these apps to "vanish" in the first place.
Thanks for trying to help and sorry I failed stating my problem better. I hope now that I explained my issue and solution helps others.
If a any mod read this, please change the thread title accordingly.
Best regards,
formatting your phone is the best idea
Hi there!
I just want to ask a question, i know it's so noob, and against rules, but can you please recommend me the best or i mean i want to speed up my sgs2, i'm not satisfied with the performance of the official ics update from samsung kies. And i experience crashes with this.
Browsing the forum there's tons of different erent roms etc but what can you recommend that i should get? Thank you and i apologize

[Q] Neophyte needs pointers on ROM

Using Samsung Galaxy Note from Tmobile, the SGH-T879, a.k.a SGH-i717, Android version 4.0.4, Rooted
About me: I am not a developer or programmer; but, I am savvy enough to manipulate/configure Windows computers, remove malicious software and generally troubleshoot many common problems on a PC.
What I need to do: I need to record cell phone conversations at the line level (not speakerphone) and am beginning to believe that isn't possible on Android 4.0.4. Someone told me I might need a custom ROM that allows line recording. I don't understand ROM and its relation to the phone as well as I do Windows OS and its relation to the Computer; but, I want to learn so I can solve this call recording problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction for learning about this?
Sir, there are apps free from the GPlay Market for this...take a look, although you have to be rooted for some apps but you stated you are rooted.
A custom ROM is not needed.
Again, do a search via mighty Google and see any thing points you to the Market GPlay.
google voice has this built in. just press 4 while in call.

Thanks for the reply.
I have been working on this problem for two weeks+, have tried many call recording programs and had exchanges with their tech support. NONE will record from line on this phone. Their final answer is to just use speakerphone. I have had exchanges with others and found that not one has reported a successful LINE level recording with stock Android versions above 2.3.5. I have also read in forums where some were able to record but it broke when their Android versions were upgraded or they got a newer phone with a later Android version.
The recording programs offered on Google are, in my opinion, misnamed voice recorders as they record only when the phone is on speaker.
Please, is there a good place on the 'net where I can learn about ROMs?.

First read the thread linked below at least twice for help on understanding how to flash custom ROM builds etc.. Reading it twice will help make sure you grasp everything well prior to flashing your Note.
[Road & Ref Map]: Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717) 9/11/2012: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
Moreover, once you understand the steps needed in order to load different ROM builds etc.., below is a link to an excellent Gingerbread 2.3.6 XLA2 ROM by DAGr8 that has the line recording built in. That said, I still use it as my "go to" ROM when not trying out ICS & JB builds, due to the built in line recording, as well as the ability to enable Ad-Hoc WiFi support by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.
[ROM]XLA2[04/02] SAUROM Projekt 'One Rom to Rule Them All: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522942
Also, if you do load SAUROM RC7 + RC7.1, search this thread link below for support in order to fix the alarm force close issue, and to add "Equalizer" from the play store to increase volume.

Hey Alex, don't thank me, d'oh! I somehow skipped right past your first OP post. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note from T-Mobile, "the SGH-T879 model", and not the SGH-I717 model from At&t, SAUROM may not work as intended, and you should post in T-Mobile Galaxy Note section, not here. That said, I'm not sure what would be best for the T-Mobile Note as far as line recording, but you should post and search in that specific sub-forum for help.
Best to all,
R
Yes, it is the T879 and thanks for the heads-up.
I don't see a T879 or T-mobile Galaxy Note section here. Where is it?
Thanks.
It isn't here - its an altogether different forum. Just go to the main list of supported phones and find it there.

[HELP THREAD] Omate TrueSmart

Guys...
We are having way toooo many threads.
Everyone is opening thread for absolutely everything.
Please, don't do that....
Lets talk here...
If have question, you know something that could help others or just wanna say something about TS - please post that here.
We'll work together and help each other.
Omate, obviously, won't help us so we'll do that here...
Please....
Do not spamm this thread with whining post about Omate.
We all know who are they and what they did.
Lets talk and find a way to get best from device we have.
I will reserve two post under this and will add useful answers or something important...
Once again...
PLEASE, DO NOT OPEN NEW THREAD FOR EVERY QUESTION.
POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!
@MikeCHannon
Mate, is there any way to make this thread sticy?
It's impossible to find something on Omate thread and it would be great if we could keep this Q&A thread on top.
Tnx

TIP:
To save your TS buttons root your TS and install Xposed.
Install Gravity box and enable "double tap to sleep" (you have to do that on status bar.
Install app Shake, from market.
By using this app your TS will become real smartwatch.
This app will keep TS sensors on (even rhe screen is off) and you will be able to see clock face or any other app you set by simply movement.
To use button every time you want to see what's the time is ridiculous...
*************************************
ADVICE:
NEVER LET YOUR DEVICE GO TO 0% BATTERY
If the battery drops below a certain level the watch will never charge it. The part of the firmware that is supposed to prevent this........doesn't work. The only option is to use an external charger but there may be a fire risk. // Posted by Loki //
Don't put your TS into water, even if you never opened it.
It'll die for sure.
Even rain could damage it, so be careful and take it of when you go to shower.
Apply security patch by Loki.
That's something you should do as soon as you receive your watch.
Your data won't be safe on your device until you do that...
I'll build Brightness level patch as soon as I get my watch.
Loki already made one but it's not working on latest firmware.
EVEN I OPENED THIS THREAD AND OFFERED MY HELP, SOME OF YOU ARE STILL OPENING NEW THREADS FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
I WON'T PROVIDE ANY HELP ON THAT THREADS.
Keep our yard clean - post here.!
I don't have anything from this thread, I just want organisation and clean Omate section on XDA.
So, if you need my help, read XDA rules and try to help....

I guess you have 1/8 2100 EU version?
BT tethering doesn't work on stock ROM.
You have to install TWRP (recovery) and flash Loki Unified or Dees BT ROM.
That ROM will add support for BT tethering and it's way more secured that stock one.
After flashing you could use Cyril companion app... SWapp

I got a developers Edition 2100HZ Truesmart from China. Is this the same as the EU version? I'm a bit concerned about installing Loki's patch because I've read I need to factor in the model type. What files should I be using?

If it's 1900 or 2100 you can't brick device with his Unified ROM.
You have to flash ROM and after flashing ROM you have to flash baseband (zip is provided on Loki thread)
Patching stock firmware could be tricky if you aren't sure which device you have.
So my advice would be - flash full ROM (Unified), that's still stick ROM only patched and better that stock by Omate...
And it's ten times safer in your case...

Is there a way I can determine what device I have? I got it from Expansys.jp. From the looks of things it is the same as the EU version, developers edition, but was set to Chinese by default.

- Go to Wireless & Networks -> More -> Tethering -> BT Tethering -> Check the box
- On main phone, do the same for BT tethering
- Connect the 2
- Once connected, reverse the BT Tethering option on the TS
So far working. Bloody hell
Hi, I'm trying to set up some mail-acconts on my omate. Everytime I want to got to scroll down in settings->user to account (Konten in german, don't know the exat wording for this point in english) the setting crashes.
Has anyone an idea, where the problem could be or a different way to get into the menu ?
Ist a 1/8 2100 Truesmart. I've installed lokifishs unified rom. Baseband: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4, 2013/08/14 18:16, Kernel 3.4.5, Omate_Truesmart_EnSec 20140427_V2.0
Thanks
hi there
as per loki's thread, if you want to set up the email, don't do it via settings, instead, use the app itself
eg open Mail -> add account
so, my Omate arrived (yay!) and first thing I did, is to flash loki's Unified. Got the 1/8 2100 Dev Edition.
It works quite well so far, but I have a problem with the Ostore. It doesn't show the info, whats the app all about. It is loading when I click on an app, but at a certain point that loading circle symbol just stops and that's it then. Installing is no problem though...
And one question just for curiosity: does it matter if i install an app from the ostore or from play? is there a difference?
cheers!

Hi, thanks for the answer. And now the stupid question . Where do i find "add account" in the mail-app? Or how can I open the settings? With my normal phone (note 2) I can press the phone-menu-button on the left button while using the mail-app. Is there a equivalent on the omate?
if you're looking for the menu gesture, swipe from the left side of the screen (opposite of swiping from the right as the "Back" button)

Play store is more current in most cases. You'll be better off getting it from there than the Ostore which is mostly broken

Ostore is something I don't need and I really suggest you to use play store.
Google won't approve
anything and you can be sure there's no malware or spyware there...

It should be in email app/settings.
Try to open few drawers and you'll find it.
On my Z1 you have slide apptray frim left and scroll down to see "add acc".
If course on other device could be different.
(Don't have TS so ready can't tell but it must be in settings)
Also, if you have BT keyboard, pair it with TS and set everything up.
It's easier then with on screen keyboard.
BTW, there's no stupid questions, only stupid answers

just tried loki's rom and rooted, but BT tethering is still not working for the ts and my z ultra, with the stupid "Network Access Points service of ZUltra is unavailable". UGH
Will try Dee's
edit: Dees' still not supporting 1/8/2100 officially, so i guess i'll have to wait again
edit 2: Went ahead with Dees 1/8/1900. STILL getting the tethering error. [email protected]#[email protected]$G#[email protected][email protected]@#[email protected]
FFS!

So you don't have 2100MHz now? Is it not as simple as a different baseband (as split up in Loki's ROM)?

No, it's not...
I really don't recommend cross flashing - that's something that could brick your device.
If we all have same firmware that it would be easy to switch from 1900 to 2100 flashing only another baseband but almost every batch have its own firmware and ut could be very dangerous to flash something that's not built for your device...
But really @jeremy.chan
Are you on Dees or Loki now?
You are using SWapp companion by Cyril?

I was on Loki, then Dees, the now Loki again. SWapp seems to be working but haven't gone through the thread yet. No other apps can push notifications unless I'm on 4.3?

Is that what you meant?
Really don't know...
I know SWapp is working OK and Loki Unified ROM is something you must have on device...
Not only because it's good but because there's no alternative
As I said...
My device should be delivered soon, tjen I'll know more, built few things for it and test few things on it...
