Where can I find the latest 1.3.0 H4 pc studio on the net?
Do you've a link?
Fixed at least in H8, possibly H4 too.
Where can I find the H8 firmware on the net?
That might be a compatability issue with your car kit i guess. How do you mean it doesnt work? Doesnt connect? Doesnt see it?
My gsm car kit is a standard option with my new BMW (2009).
The car's gsm system tries to connect to the i7500, but the i7500 doesn't connect to the car's gsm system
I use now my old Motorola V500 gsm again, which connects without problem.
Download the new NPS. Turn on USB debugging (This forces windows to enumerate the device as a composite device). Point the drivers the USB drivers directory in c:\program files\samsung\USB drivers
I'll try as soon I could connect to the i7500 with the new NPS.
All the drivers will install except 1 (this is the debug driver). ignore that one, unless you will be using adb - in which case you will find that driver in the SDK directory when you install it. If you don't know what adb is, just skip that driver!
What means adb?
You have incorrect APN settings for sure. Look up the settings for your network on the internet and fill them in in the settings section. (go to APN, then press menu and ADD apn). You have to do this on every phone! You're network is able to send you an SMS with the settings on some phones (like nokias etc), but not on android.
I've bought the i7500 via Smartphone, Pocket PC & Ultra-Mobile PC Winkel - eXpansys Belgique in Belgium, I'll mostly using the i7500 in Belgium with the provider Proximus.
What does APN means?
I don't known where I can find the APN settings on the net for my provider.
I think you gave up too soon! All your problems are easily fixed
If you buy a 'smart' phone for 500 EURO's, then you may expect that it will work. Samsung is simply not able to deliver a stable Android device.
I feel I'm beta testing the i7500 from Samsung!
That's normal. It uses the cell tower to estimate your position. This doesnt use extra battery and is good enough for most location based apps like weather. If you want accurate positioning you need to turn on GPS. Its not a bug, its just how it works
This is a google issue. The device has a fingerprint which tells google what phone it is, what firmware its on, and the region you're in (take from sim card). This is used to show you the correct apps for your region.
If the fingerprint - device type or version - isnt on googles whitelist it will not display some apps.
Every time a new firmware comes out the build version in the fingerprint gets incremented. It takes a little while for google to update on their end. Its anoying and happening on all android devices at the moment.
You can get around it if you root and edit the fingerprint yourself (this also gives you the advantage to use market enabler to change your region - allowing you to install US only apps for example)[/quote]
