I'm having the same issue. The name 'unknown' was shown even in the market but I changed it in the market (PC) settings.

I had the same problem and it's now fixed.
1. Download build.prop Editor by Nathan Campos from the market (it's a free app).
2. Open the app and edit the property ro.product.manufacturer, change it to say samsung (doesn't matter if it's with upper or lower case first character).
3. Reboot your phone.
Done

Thank you very much.

Mine works perfectly fine.
1) Install it.
2). Open browser... go to settings.. enable plug ins..
3) Restart browser (kill it using a task manager then restart it)
4) go to a flash website or google whats my flash and voila ...
Have fun!
Hmmm still not working. I have no idea why.
I have restarted the mobile with no luck.

Working fine for me in Dolphin HD browser.
I have found the problem... It's because I am flashing a different froyo file. It's something called rooted I9000xxjpc... I got it from another thread in the forum.
Now everything works fine... And I am loving every bit of it.
Thanks guys.

1. Go to the LBS TestMode by using *#*#1472365#*#*
2. Click SUPL/CP Settings. Make sure the Server is supl.google.com and port 7276.
3. Go Back and Click Delete GPS Data.
You should get a lock-on pretty quick

OK.. A Workaround.. 2 solutions. Use either or:
1. Install SGS Tools from http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11697444/SGS Tools last.apk
Then select Secret Codes and GPS-Test and Settings..
2. download LauncherPro and create a custom shortcut on one of your homepages for LBSTestMode.
Shortcuts > Activities > LbsTestMode >
Both of these should work

[Q] APN settings wont save

Whenever i try to add new APNs my phone wont save them , the list is always empty . How can i fix this ?
Samsung galaxy S . running stock Android 2.2 ( I9000JXJPE ) voodoo 5.2 kernel .
Are you sure that after you enter the settings you are hitting the menu button and selecting save? Or are you simply hitting the back key after doing so?
If that's not the problem maybe your only options are factory reset or re-flashing firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I am pretty sure i am saving it .
Hmm .. i found this APN manager app in the market . I downloaded it and throught the app i can see a list of APNs , including the ones ive been adding , and i can choose what APN as default and so .
Is the app enough ?
Not really sure about the app as I haven't used or needed it but I'd say give it a go. No harm in trying it I'd say. Hope it works for you.

Thanks, but doesn't work for me. If I use MarketEnabler, I can finde the music app in the Market, but it refuses to install, claiming that it's invalidly signed.
If I download the apk from the link above, package installer terminates with a simple 'not installed' message.
Rooted Euro Tab on Swisscom, Switzerland.
Rapax, have you installed honeycomb music player before that? If yes - delete it..

I get the same thing here after upgrading to Gingerbread (Overcome) - I used MarketEnabler to download it from the Market; happily running under Overcome 1.6.x (Froyo) but after Gingerbread all it does is force close upon running.

Yeah Google Music crashes each time since the Gingerbread update... Overcome and Stock too
Here too
Euro tab GSM, running GB overcome 2.0 beta 2
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I pinned down the crashes to two reasons:
Obviously Samsung built our 2.3.3 on rather outdated code and modified some pieces of the mediaprovider...
Usually, the Stock-Music apk allows access to the MediaPlayBackService and Google temporarily revoked access in 2.3.3, so Samsung thought it would be a great opportunity to **** around with the existing code and Changed some things in the Stock MediaProvider-Service thingy
That's the major reason why the Google Music Beta crashes in 2.3.3 but works great in 2.2
So it is not a "Google Thing", it is a "Samsung Thing" and Samsung would have to fix that.. We all know that this won't be likely to happen, so there are two possibilities I see here... We fix it ourselves or someone clever ports the MediaProvider including access to the MediaPlayBackService from the current CyanogenMod 7.something builds to the Galaxy tab. I tried and failed as the modules crashed on boot and I had to reflash the whole system
Anyone interested in getting that done? I'd do it, but I've too little time at the moment to get it done properly :-/ it shouldn't be that hard anyways, I guess...
Someone needs to make this work. I have all my devices working beautifully with Google music without a problem except on my galaxy tab running overcome 2.0.

I can confirm that the latest update of google music works on galaxy tab with Gingerbread

Have you tried deleting the application data and reboot then? :-/ I used the official market version btw. but that shouldn't make much difference... as I pulled it directly after the install from my tab.

SWYPE Beta

Anyone had any luck installing the new Swype beta with Honeycomb support? I have it installed on phone and have proper beta username and all but when i try do download from the installer it gives me a connection error? I installed on phone without a problem and is working fine.
I love Thumb Keyboard but always eager to give new things a try, and to encourage further Honeycomb development.
I'm using it right now and its pretty good.

I use android firewall and I had to give swype permission to access the internet. That is probably not the reason for you though... :/

I am on Tiamat 1.0 rom and I had to change UAstring to Froyo/N1 and I could download installer. However, network error remains a hurdle for me and I cannot register to download Swype.apk

so quick poll of people on this please... is anyone running titamat rom able to get this to download? i'm begining to think that somehow the UA string embeded in the modified framework-res is somehow an issue for the swype installer (i had to sideload the installer apk for the same reason)
im on tiamat rom an downloaded it no problem using opera mobile browser however im having the connection issue in the installer
Installed and working, LP 1.2.1 no ROM.
Typing seems much more laggy compared to stock. I hope they optimize it better in the future releases.

I also noticed this, some slowdowns on typing with the regular sized swype keyboard vs thumb/stock
Latest Tiamat kernel, stock ROM. Side loaded the installer but am stuck at the connection error.
I am also getting the connection error. I have a WiFi only zoom, but running the Tiamat ROM. Maybe it's tying to use the nonexistant cell connection?

Anyone have "Auto Space" working? Each time i swype multiple words no space is placed between them. Yes I have the option checked in the settings.
i signed in on swype.com resent myself the invite with the updated beta apk and then clicked on it in my email. Brings to a page swypes website saying "this is not an android phone".
Any ideas?
The error that states "this is not an android phone" is from the desktop UA change.
Now is there anyway to temporarily disable the UA string so this will install?

Hmm, I see. All I can think of its to set dolphin as my default browser and change the UA in the settings. Trying it now...
Edit: nope. Back to the drawing board...

Same issues last night and today, WiFi only US Xoom, Tiamat 1.0 ROM. Even trying to side load the installer apk gets the network connection error, and that's with the updated installer I pulled from my HTC Incredible.
