Samsung Galaxy Beam

Hey guys,
Anyone have this device? Can a subforum be opened?
It's excellent - I just got it and there's a lot of work to do
I added info at the XDA Wiki...

Can you provide pictures?
I really don't believe this device is out.

it has been out for a loooong time, there is another device similar to the Beam was on July, the other one was on March
both are for Europe market
they don't seem to be very popular
they are from the 8000 family, although the spec are very close to the Galaxy S 9000 family

Few weeks back I came across a review of this phone on youtube. Even though it was announced early this year (and GSM arena says its already available), I didn't find any information indicating that this phone is actually available on the market. I was looking for it's price.

good idea
Just bought mine a week ago from StarHub (the official retailer for galaxy beam).
I second the subforum idea. How about starting a google group as well since the community is so small.
For those who wish to purchase the phone:
You need to place a reservation at StarHub Center before making the purchase. It takes about a week before your phone is ready for collection.
I was lucky enough to get it immediately because someone cancelled his reservation.

waiting for mine, deseperatly ....

i'll check with Admins and Sr Mods to see if they want to create a new forum for it

That's great! Thanks man.
nocomp: you may try bugging their hq at cuppage road. They might just have an extra handset lying around like mine. Haha

i ve bought it from a local shop in singapore, they were agree to send it to me to france.
still waiting for the delivery...... the singapore post tracking service, isn t much alive since 2 days......
i guess that ll be a change from my nexus, what i am pissed of, is that you can t use an app that use camera and projector in the same time
it seems that what has to be done, (part of find a way to upgrade it to froyo):
get gps working when projector is on
get projector working when camera is on
can you tell me if the galaxy beam has also the tv out like galaxy s?
best regards
herve

I have some bad news for you. Samsung has officially stopped software support for that device last month and said there's no plans for official froyo for it as there's just not enough beams out there to warrent the support as it was only sold in Singapore and very small numbers. They now have all development on tablet and galaxy s models. Google for more info. I read that last month someplace

hi
thxx a lot, that news has been goin on here and there fr a while, surely some ppl can adapt 2.2 to the beam model.
i finally received mine )))
bad news, impossible to install an application from android market :'(
never happend before with the nexus, i get the message "unable to download" either i am in wifi or 3g
any idea why?
herve

Hmm never had a problem with market. Have you tried replacing the stock market app with a generic one from ipmart? Perhaps it's locked down to Singapore or something.

Topic moved to General until and if a new proper forum comes into place for this device.

hi,
well i ve took sim card off n sdcard off, and then it was working over wifi.
put the simcard back again and market was working.
no idea wtf happend.

hi,
how can i know what software update is current?
my version is 2.1 update 1
I8520DXJ11
kernel 2.6.29-zeus1
can t find in the setting menu the update section
thx for your help
btw i ve found this, anybody tried it?
http://shomblingteam.blogspot.com/2010/08/samsung-i8520-galaxy-beam.html

My phone is running the same firmware version as yours. It's released on 1 Sept which is more recent than the July version on that blog.

hi,
thx for the news, so if there is an update it ll appear in the "about" section right?
do you know any trick/tweak for allow to run gps when using projector?
herve

Probably, but I doubt there will be any more updates since the beam is not getting froyo. Hopefully I'm wrong...
I'm not aware of any tricks but if you have the time and expertise try editing the source code? Haha I'm no expert either.

HTC Desire gingerbread OTA rolling out end July MAYBE!!!

Hi all,
the 2.3 gingerbread update is rolling out now! with sense 2.1!
NOTE: 2.3 IS ROLLING OUT VIA IMEI, SO IF YOU HAVE A BRANDED PHONE, BUT YOU UNBRANDED IT, YOU WONT GET THE UPDATE!!
confirmation:
Nick : Good afternoon
Dries: Hi Nick, thank you for contacting customer support from HTC. Currently I am just to read your question.
Dries: It has recently begun rolling out but that happens, however, using the IMEI number. It is not known exactly when your device's turn but when it does, you will automatically offer the update OTA.
Nick : Okay! that's good news, but on the Facebook page of HTC is that he has not yet rolled out?
Dries: The Facebook page has yet to be updated.
Nick : Ah okay, but I'm talking about the old desire, not the desire Z
Dries: Yes, Desire of the wounded.
Dries: I apologize, I meant regular
Nick : Haha okay, and do you know which version of Sense's on?
Dries: This is version 2.1

Cant anyone check the servers so we can get the RUU update?

My Desire was bought off the shelf, so is unbranded, however it IS rooted (although I haven't done anything with the root access)
Does this mean I'll still get the update?
Will this affect memory available?

nobody in the comunity have already have the update ;

We will wait for.our turn.
But till then we need a first look and some answers from someone that already has the update.
For example which version of sense is delivered and with / without cut applications.

When HTC put message on FB that GB is officialy out then he is out, otherwise this is just another troll thread.

Its not exactly a troll thread but yeah we must stop believing the Customer Support one day...
On a side note, didnt we use to have a direct link to the RUU's on the official HTC website? I guess thats the only way to find out if we can grab the update without waiting for the whole rollout process to unfold...

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

Find 7 now up for pre-order in US & EU

Details on the link.
http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_7_goes_on_preorder_ships_in_early_july-news-8798.php

Pre-ordered mine last night, also got the Ilike charger with it too as one of the first 1000.

Pre-ordered mine aswell!

I preordered mine too, looking forward to it!

Picked up one as well.
On "Back Order" though! I bought it pretty quickly too, this morning around 12am GMT - 4.
How disappointing, hopefully it won't be too long before I get the Find 7..
EDIT:
It would be great if you guys give us a shout when you get the shipping confirmation sent to you.
That way we can see how long it took, and when we can expect to receive it.

I pre-ordered too, but on backorder

The fact that the 32GB model of this is actually going to be easier to get in the UK than the G3 does kind of make wonder about changing my order.

I believe pre-order and back-order are really the same thing in this situation.
I'm just hoping they're accurate about the Early July time frame.

Thinking about ordering mine next week with the 10% discount offer, but I'm quite wondering when the shipping date would be. Could it be as early as Friday 4th July?

can student and facebook discounts be combined?

Nope that's not possible. It's written on the student discount FAQs somewhere...

Hasn't been a problem... I have a few games with 1 - 2Gb data files but these are stored outside the app partition with only a small amount of data going there... Have around 100+ apps installed and counting with things like co-pilot requiring around 300mb, Dungeon hunter 4 requiring around 900mb and a couple of Sonic games requiring almost a gig apiece...
I might run out eventually but I can say the same about my 32Gb Note 3...
I have the X9077 32gb Chinese Find 7.... Flashed with international rom and it works fine here in Oz with all google apps running and all the chinese versions of the apps gone...

WOOHOO! "Preparation in progress"!
Anyone else received the "Preparation in progress" order history?
I hope it comes soon! Any guesses as to how long it would take before they ship it out?

Receiving Wrong OTA

Hey! So here is a weird thing I'm noticing with Nexus 5X's running on T-Mobile...
With three Nexus 5X's confirmed thus far (including my own) got the NRD90R build of 7.0. That build is meant for the Pixel C, Nexus 9, Nexus Player.
But everyone else and their mother got the phone version NRD90S when popping over to 7.0.
So I'm interested. Are you on T-Mobile with your Nexus 5X, is your build number wrong?
Did T-Mobile mess up? Did Google mess up?
Spooky. And a bit concerning? #BugLife

Hi, I leave in france and it's same for me. First I received the NRD90S version after a re-installation I received NRD90R release. I do not know why. Maybe there was a bug on the other version. We'll see; if it's a mistake Google will send a patch.

Explication... So when you are regiteredin the beta programme, you receive NRD90S and when you unsubscribing you, you running on NRD90R. That's what I make this morning after my latest post and now I have NRD90S version..:good:

No, the different between NRD90R and NRD90S is just single patch for japan emergency broadcast. Both are fine as long as you're not in Japan.
