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...

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.

Tango 8779

Anyone else notice the new 8779 build available via Nokia Car Suite? I've flashed it to my new Cyan 900 and it runs very well. Have been fortunate to have app hub account so unlocked but looking forward to interop unlock and custom roms.
I was a little disappointed that screen was just flat though, half of the funky factor of the 800 was that curved screen and it's ability to distribute glare and reflections a bit more.

I got the 8779 update through Zune.

Might want to change your thread title mate, it's very misleading and you may get some people very giddy.
And to answer your question, no-one knows as it hasn't been confirmed by anyone.

Okay, point taken. Although I dont feel it was "very" misleading, i mean, I didn't include any reference to having the update already.

It was implying that the latest 4.3 update is N7100XXDME6 which most of us know is only 4.1.2 but some people don't. And as it's also a question, should have really gone in Q&A.

I also would like to know when note 2 will recieve official 4.3 for uk

I would also like to know. Can someone please confirm the date time we can expect it?

Nobody knows yet. Samsung havent confirmed it.

With only 2 countries released sofar, according to Sammobile, it could be a long wait.

On O2 UK stock I just updated to 4.3

My Note 2 to you

It is already downloadable at sammobile.com
I installed it, beware though of something awful. Screen color calibration and font antialiasing was probably inherited just from the one intended for the new 1080p screens of the Note 3 and S4.
After update colors look bad, no matter the screen mode you choose.
Fonts also look bad, they look bold instead of normal typeface everyhwere, because they changed the antialiasing method, probably improving rendering form 1080p screens, but in 720p things just lost detail, all fonts look square, and I don't mean the interface fonts, I mean webpage fonts, document fonts, etc.
Performance is OK, I am so sad they got this display thing so wrong, because if the screen looks bad, what's the point of having such a expensive one.

dude i'm on the same build as you , just be patient ,when you plug it under kies i bet it shows (PHE) ??

T-Mobile and Unlocked version numbers

Hi all! I just want to ask users with T-Mobile and Unlocked variants of HTC 10 to let me know the latest software version and security patch.
So I went to htc's website and this is what I found:
1) Unlocked HTC 10 - 1.96.617.20
2) T-Mobile HTC 10 - 1.81.531.20
I think this info might be slightly outdated, please confirm.
Thanks!

The problem was that when my phone was connected to WiFi, then many times I would just pick up the phone to browse the internet or launch an app that needs an internet, but it wouldn't work, although phone shows that WiFi is connected.
I wrote this in another post:
I spent 2 + hours trying find out why my phone has WiFi issues. Played with router settings, restarted the phone multiple times, used another phone to test on 2 devices and looks like Bluetooth could be an issue. So when Bluetooth is off, WiFi is working fine and loads pages, Play Store or any other apps that need internet. When Bluetooth is on, then WiFi isn't good and many apps spin the "refresh" icon for longer times. I launched Speed Test app and Bluetooth was on and the testing was weird, took longer time to detect ping and slower internet speed. While testing I turned off Bluetooth and got better results.

Mate 20 X - Flash China version to internaional / Europe one?

Hi guys,
I will get very soon my first china handy - the Mate 20 X - 8 GB / 256 GB - china version.
Now I read that Saturn / Mediamarkt will bring the Mate 20 X to Germany. Therefore I expect that an international / European version is on the way.
Is it possible to flash the china version with this international one?
No idea til now.
wbr
Johannes

I know only the china version can be unlocked and just now I saw this news
https://9to5google.com/2018/11/15/google-android-pie-project-treble-expectations/
Highlighted text from Google
"Going forward, all devices launching with Android 9 Pie or later will be Treble-compliant and take full advantage of the Treble architecture to deliver faster upgrades. Thanks to Treble, we expect to see more devices from OEMs running Android 9 Pie at the end of 2018 as compared to the number of devices that were running Android Oreo at the end of 2017."
What this means is that, whether Huawei likes it or not, Pie is already treble ready and there's a good chance that we are able to flash aosp on the device.

I think it is as safe as can be. Just follow the instructions properly and you should be good. I just did that. I removed the browser and a few other apps such as Hivoice and Hiboard etc. I didn't remove everything chinese as many of them do no harm.
