Greetings.
As of November 3rd, Samsung Mexico released to the market the Samsung Galaxy S.
Telcel (Mexican Carrier) will be handling the phone.
According to the Datasheet from Samsung Mexico webpage
''Sorry for the link, but the anti spam does not let me post it"
They call it a Samsung GT-i9000.
The only difference I can see from the International Version is the 3G band.
Instead of 900/1900/2100 mhz it has 850/1900/2100 mhz.
It has the same build and Front Camera as the International Version.
Can it be considered a custom GT-i9000 or Did they manage to change the band with a specific ROM?
Anyway, Any thoughts?
Thank you
Well, I'm from Mexico, this should be good news for people in here, I bought 2 months ago the Galaxy S international version from handtec.co.uk
I can't use 3G but that's no problem for me since I don't use it nor plan to use.
My guess is that it needs a different kind of antenna for changing the 3G signal.
I still cannot find it on telcel webpage, and samsung mexico doesn't list any place to buy yet. Maybe telcel is customizing the ROM before selling it, I just hope they don't make a crappy saturated ROM. Hopefully they'll use froyo
Does it look like the Bell Vibrant?
Indeed, it looks exactly like the Bell Vibrant.
Only difference is that it only has 8gb of internal memory.
Doing some research, I guess the correct model will be Samsung Galaxy S/GT-I9000T.
thank you.
Interesting, since it has only 8gb, I wonder if it dodges the internal SD issues apparent in the 16gb version.

i'm pretty sure it's safe to assume so
as the problem has always only with the 16GB models, even for international ones
that is exactly the same as the galaxy they sell here in puerto rico by claropr wich by the way is owned by the same people as telcel(america movil) its a i9000t.
JUST GOT I9000T FROM TELCEL. NO GMAIL or GTALK or GOOGLE SEARCH WIDGET
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S from TELCEL in Mexico, but it seems as if they completly removed GMAIL, GTALK and searching widget by Google and placed instead a YAHOO widget.
I bought this celphone because I have all my acounts (Personal and Company) hosted with google and wanted to use them with google apps.
I was able to root it but have not been able to install diferent roms, and when I installed diferent apk for gmail, gtalk etc, it closes the apps because of errors.
Does anyone know what I could do to get these apps working or wich ROM should I use?
The celphone info is this:
PDA: I9000TUMJG1 [R5]
PHONE: I9000TUMJG1
CSC: I9000TTCEJG1
Hi
I bought the phone yesterday in Mexico city
I haven't rooted my phone, I downloaded a rom for an european version of the phone (CODE_I9000XXJE6_REV03). I unpacked the file and I mounted the file factory.rfs in linux. I took the files: GMailProvider.apk and GMail.apk.
I had the trouble that you said, i think it was because I hadn't installed GMailProvider.apk. Now GMail is working without issues on my unrooted galaxy phone. I had also tried with files from other roms and that didn't work, so I think you need the files of a samsung rom with android 2.1.
I think Google Search is included in the rom. Installing LauncherPro was the first thing that i did after I turned on the phone. I could add the google search widget in LauncherPro. I cannot use the widgets of Samsung with launcher pro but for me it doesn't matter.
Regards

Can I ask where you downloaded the rom from? Or if possible, can you attach the gmailprovider and gmail apk's here? I also got the Mexican i9000T and it pisses me off that these idiots took out the gmail app.
Thanks
How much was the phone without a contract?
I got it on contract, 2-year, and payed about $300. Without contract it is about $730.
Ok so I took the Gmailprovider and gmail apk's from a firmware I downloaded from samfirmwares.com.
But when I launch the gmail app it just goes into a blank screen (or dark one) and it does nothing. And since I launched it, the sync icon in the status bar (top) appeared and hasn't gone away. Did I FUBAR something???
Hi
I found the roms here:
samsungflash.webs.com/apps/wiki/i9000

Hi
Sometimes you get an error if you use an account of gmail and another one of Google Apps, but otherwise the GMail App works very well
Regards
The first time that I started the application I saw the blank screen that you said, but I turned off the cellphone and then turned on and It worked
Regards
Well, after a reboot, i no longer got the blank screen. But then I started getting force closed of some process named com.somethingsomething.gapps. I instaled using an app installer which placed the gmail and provider apps on the external sdcard. Maybe they should be on the internal sd? What do you think?

I had the same trouble using two gmail accounts on the phone, one of them was a Google Apps account, currently I'm only using one account (the regular gmail account) and all works well.
Anyway I think, you should try install the apps on the internal memory of the phone.
Regards
a gazillion years later, I installed gmail onto /sys/apps folder and after a reboot, it works like a charm. But now I sort of got used to K-9 Mail hehehe
I just got the same phone about 2 weeks ago.
I liked it but it is a shame that Telcel installs all that crap on it.
I'm not that familiar with Linux. Is there any way the files can be unpacked from within Windows?
I would love to use Gmail and Gtalk on my phone.
Ughhh.... was realy looking forward to the Contapps version with LinkedIn tapp. It came out and i installed it. Set synchronization on and the LinkedIn contacts started to appear gradualy on my tab. A week later the tab is out of memory and telling me to take action. (Delete contact, calendar or other user data) SMS are being rejected coz no more memory. The app is taking up 10mb of memory and the contacts about 65mb so far but likely to be at least 5-6 times more with all LinkedIn contacts synchronized.
I moved the app and a few other to the SD but cant free up a fraction of what is needed for all the contacts. Anybody know how to move the contacts to the SD card???

Is it really impossible to move my contacts from GT internal memory to SD?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
just import the contacts to SDCARD ? ?
I need to clear the internal memory of all contacts, importing creates copy on the SD without removal from internal memory.

I just got my 32gb sd card for my gtab ..
Install and reformat accordingly.
Question:
I could see the 32gb sd on setting screen but on other gtab app screens only show the internal sd 16gb instead of external sd 32gb.(figure shows lesser).
Any transfer of app actually goes into internal sd memory.
How to make gtab recognized the 32gb sd?..
I thought this forum popular !...
The tab slowed down so badly on contacs that I had to uninstall the app and do factory reset to clear the 10k contacts. Couldnt figure out how to wipe the contact list. Then added my google acount and before i figured out what was going on 5k contacts got synchronized back to the tab.
Really need some help to manage this without reseting back to factory again. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
So far no clue how to move the contacts to SD card and even if that is possible is there any app capable of handling so many contacts without serious lag?

Maybe if you didnt hijack other peoples threads we would feel like answering you
Uhhhhh, woke up this morning and to my horror again the message that the memory is full. Maybe the extra Skype contacts pushed it over the edge.
Finaly figured out how to clear the thosands of people from the contacts. In Manage Applications found a Contacts Storage app. Went into it and Clear Data. That restores the tab from all sort of force closes back to functional.
Couple things now left to figure out.
* How to move the contacts data to SD card. Stil no clue!!!
* Find an app that can handle 13k contacts without freezing, force closing, going bezerk or coming up with any other wierd unexpected results!!!
I seem to be talking with myself here which probably means that there isnt too many of us lunatics trying to load so many contacts on the cute little tab. Hey even if you dont know but have crazy or untested ideas let me know anyway. I am willing to have a go at it.

Hi all,
I just installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my TP (finally!) and so far I am loving it. However, I'm having issues with WhatsApp saying
Alert
We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again.
Note: tablets are currently not supported.

However, some people with the Xoom tablet (and other tablets) can actually run WhatsApp. I dunno if they hacked the app or something but I've seen reports that it actually works on a tablet. I researched that they just downloaded the app directly from Whatsapp, not from the market. I've done that already and still have the problem.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks
For tablets without 3g function (wifi only) I have discovered the only way to use Whatsapp on such a device is as followed:
1. Grab your normal phone
2. Use Titanium Backup and Backup your current Whatsapp.apk and data
3. Install Whatsapp (download from the site f.e) on your tab but don't open the app yet.
4. Transfer backed up data to your tab in a (newly made) folder called TitaniumBackup
5. Open TB and scroll to Whatsapp and restore data.
6.Open Whatsapp now and you have Whatsapp running on your tab.
Make sure you have opened up a few conversations with the people you want chat with so those conversations are there.
Disadvantage is when you open Whatsapp on your phone again, it won't show the chats you have on your tab and vice versa.
Good luck

Wow it works.
EDIT: But my phone stops receiving Whatsapp messages anymore. You can only use one at a time. I was hoping that atleast both devices will receive messages.

I actually might have to register a different phone number with this one so I can use individually. But it was great that you showed me how to make it work
Go phone sim card FTW!

Yeah I know, had mentioned that in my post unfortunately
Good idea is indeed to buy a random SIM card, place it, register and open up all the chats with people you want to chat with and transfer data at least that number will be registered and rdy to use on your tab, good luck!

So, if you own an iPhone, are out of luck to get this running on the touchpad?
i think so cuz the titanium backup file carries our phone numbers and our stored chats....don't want you using our numbers lol but hey you could put ur sim into a friend's rooted android phone and register the whatsapp through there....and then take that backup file to your touchpad

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have access to an android phone on my network (my gf has android on Verizon, I have att so that's a no go). I guess I'll have to wait for whatsapp to approve tablets.
Does anyone know what for is samsung account and its synchronization? I can sync my S note notes but where can I access it? There is no desktop application and via www I can't access it too, so what is the purpose of this.
thx

It will help u to access the samsung apps market and if u still in stock rom, when there's an update. It will let u update the OS from over the air (OTA). Or can get notification when samsung release their apps...
That's what i knew in theory. But in pratically, i'm not using it too often.
Maybe there someone here can explain more detail?

My Note 3 has a very nice native email app but I can't seem to find it on the Tab 8.4. Tried using the one from the Note 3 but it crashes. The only email client that is built in seems to be Gmail.
What gives? First Samsung leaves out Screen Mode and now this. Why are they targeting the 8.4 to leave things out?
Anyone know where I can get a version of the Note 3 email .apk that I can use on the 8.4? Thanks.

You might want to check again. There is an email app from Samsung included on the 8.4.

Yes you are correct. My bad on that.
Apparently when I flashed freeza's rom I did a full wipe first and deleted it. So I went back to my Nandroid of the stock setup and copied the SecEmail_Tablet.apk to my external SD card. I flashed freeza's rom without doing a full wipe but the Email app once again disappeared. I then placed the saved .apk in my system/app folder and rebooted. STILL no email app.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
After you copy the file over you have to change the permissions to 0644.
