AT100 in Australia

In Australia the Thrive was released as the AT100 and runs Android 3.0. Strangely there have been no upgrades available through Service Station since release despite reading here about several releases.
Does anyone know why the Australian users are locked on this old version of Android and with no updates?

Don't update to Toshiba's ICS ROM! I think you're lucky that they've neglected to roll it out in all regions.
Toshiba's ISC update (Android 4.x) is full of bugs that most likely will cause reduced funtionality.
In my case, mine suffered from:
Wi-Fi Sleep Bug: Almost every time you awake from sleep after Wi-Fi has turned off to save battery power, Wi-Fi fails to reconnect and you have to manually turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on again to reconnect. Only solid way around this is to set Wi-Fi to never turn off, but this causes a significant additional drain on the battery while sleeping. Sometimes, the On/Off button get's stuck and you have to reboot to fix it.
Sleep of Death: On occasion the tablet will not awake from sleep mode and you have to do a force re-boot by holding down the power button.
Poor Memory Management: I can't exactly define what that means, but I've heard it results in memory leaks. I've heard this defined as the cause of all the web-browsers that don't have their own memory management constantly crashing (especially when scolling). Currently, the only browser I can use that doesn't crash every couple of minutes is Mozilla Firefox for Android, apparently because it has it's own memory management. I know the browsers in honeycomb had crashing issues, but this update made them much worse.
Lag when updating Apps: Everything tends to lag when an app is updating in the background.
Apparently Toshiba is aware of the issues, but they don't appear to intend to fix it. They're most likely busy with their new tablet line and don't plan to support the Thrive anymore. I think Peter said they have no plans.
I'll eventually figure out how to root this Thrive and install a custom Jellybean ROM from the developers at Thrive Forums (hilarious that third party developers have made more stable ROMS than Toshiba).
Anyway, that's just some friendly advice. The ICS update has only brought me (and a lot of other users) problems. Their latest Honeycomb (3.x) was Toshiba's most stable, I believe.

Re: Android 3.1 Update for AT100 Tablet

Does anyone know when the Android 3.1 update for the AT100 is due for release? It was shipped with 3.01xx.
I have read that it was released for the Thrive (AT105) in the USA in July and was hoping to be able to Update my AT100.
Thanks in advance.

If you are in Australia, I believe you will soon be able to get the 3.1 update by sending it into Toshiba for a free flash/upgrade.
I found their support site:

They said there was no Over The Air update, at least not yet.

Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

Facts:
US uses 110v on 60hz
Australia 220v on 50hz
Making sure I understood that correctly. Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD. My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
Ideas I've had or thought of:
1. Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet. Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
2. Get power converters for all my devices. But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
3. Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday). Unless Best Buy carrys one.

Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all. These will just need a connector adapter.
Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.

I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

Satellite M70-340: Question about warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

I'd like to buy notebook Satellite M70-340 here in Russia. Next month I'm going to move to Australia. What about the warranty in this case?
Will I have to pay if some trouble occurs?
How can I recognise a laptop which is officially sold (= i mean legally delivered and has a worldwide warranty)?
Thanx a lot for your answer!

Hi
I dont know what you mean with officially sold and I hope you will buy notebook in PC store and not on the street. As far as I know every new notebook has one year international warranty but if you will stay longer you can buy warranty extension. It must be buying by authorized service partner in your country.
If you have troubles in Australia go to service partner and they will check if the unit is stolen or official soled. After that it can be repaired. As I said, contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in Russia and ask for warranty extension.

Mid Year Go Live-Australia and New Zealand

Hi,
We are implementing Mid Year Go Live for payroll for Australia and New Zealand.
In case of India, we have schema INLK and list of technical wage types that need to be uploaded to T558B and T558C.
SAP has delivered a note for Payroll India which gives the list of Technical wage types.
Pls suggest what are the technical wage types to be uploaded for Australia and New Zealand and the schema to be used for Mid Year Go Live.
Regards
Yashika

Hi,
as far as i know, there is no such schema or special wage types except the ones that are used for LSMW before go live.
In india, they might need the schema or technical wagetypes for the taxation purposes i guess which is different from AU or NZ.
but australia/newzealand have simplified the taxation for software provides.
Regards,
LG

Issues with using English (Australia)

We are trying to utilize English (Australia) for one of our instances and are running into issues.
1. In the User Profile (Profile and Preferences) popup, we selected the Free Text Language to be ENGLISH and the UI Language to be "English Australia"
2. We loaded a few Additives in English Australia language (LangID=19) into the Additives table. Flushed the Cache. And Reset IIS (being paranoid here)
3. Logged out (closed all IE Browsers) and logged back into GSM
4. We notice that all the date formats are now in Australian format (dd/mm/yyyy) - which means our user profile settings worked
5. But when we open the Additives popup to select Additives, it still shows the English US name instead of the name corresponding to English Australia
Are we missing a step? We also tried to set the NLS and MLS settings in the SupportedLanguages table to enable EnglishANZ using an SQL Script and then reset IIS and logged in, but it does not seem to help.
Please help!

Setting the SupportLanguage for EnglishANZ in table SupporedLangauges to Active is causing issues in UGM - understandably.
Hence, I am assuming that when v6.1.0 was shipped, the enumbs for languages were turned OFF to have only the basic languages. The various cultures of English are primarily just that - Cultures and not Langauges.
Is that right?

So many wireless questions in my move to australia--HELP

I'm moving to australia and I have many questions--please forgive the length of this. First I had been waiting for the Palm Centro to move to Verizon because my Tungsten E is dying. Now that I'm moving I'm going to need to buy a cell phone in Australia--versus trying to get an unlocked one here I think. I see that they have Centro, but not with the big server Vodafone, which leads me back to the iphone. I avoided it because I don't want to pay for all the services I don't need. All I want is the PDA to link with my iBook G4 (still with Panther) easily to have all my contacts from my Tungsten E. I hear Palm may even be discontinuing the PDA's all together so I really do need to make the move. Yet the other big PDA, the blackberry doesn't sync easily with the mac from what I hear and read. Anybody have suggestions about a good solid phone/pda that I can use in Australia with my iBookG4? Can I spend just $199 here on an Iphone bring it with me, hook it up there with Vodafone and just use it as a phone/pda without any of the internet features?
Second question is related to communication when I first land in Australia to my husband in LA. I was told that I could use my ibook at any airport with Skype. Is this true? How? I have airport for our wireless SBC modem here, but Im guessing I would need some special USB unit. but is that the way to go. I was thinking to buy an international Mobal phone for $50 just to have for the first few days until I get internet set up over there and can start trying to figure out skype? I suppose I could try a phone card from a payphone but $50 seems like a small price to pay for communication in the beginning...unless there is a brilliant idea I hadn't considered (hence my writing here)
I am really clueless here. any suggestions, websites, links I should consider would be very appreciated. More than I can say since there are a million other details about this move that are taking up space in my head.
thank you in advance.

Same thing happened to me and I did a reset twice but the problem doesn't go away. It's Apple's video player that has problems. You don't want to reset it every time it happens, right? Get another video player, any player will do. I got flex player for free. Now I don't have any problems playing my videos any more.

I am trying to redeem a digital copy of a film in Australia from a DVD i bought while in the UK, i get an error message saying this film is only intended for UK and Ireland users. Is there a way to counteract this so i can upload it to my ipad?

I bought Hangover 2 while i was back in the UK and brought it back to Australia with me, it's a Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital copy, i went to redeem the digital copy back in Australia through Itunes but it says the Code is only redeemable in the UK and Ireland. Is there anyway to get around this?

Not legally, and I don't even know if there is a way illegally (which would violate the Terms Of use of this service anyway).

I could not get my iPhone 5 which purchased in Australia repaired by apple in the US. Guys from apple retail store verified a replacement for me and asked to call apple care. However, apple care said they cannot get it fixed nor repaired.

My iPhone 5 got some defects and I went to a apple reatil store yesterday. The guy from the genius bar told me that he verified a replacement for me. And I need to call 1-800-apple care to finish that process. I called apple care and one of the senior supervisors told me that I have to send it back to Australia (where I bought this iPhone) to get it repaired. Turns out I could not solve the problem after a apple store vist and several calls. I just want to know if there any way to solve this. This iPhone is a factory unlocked one that purchased in an apple retail store in Melbourne at the day it was first released. And my experience today is not what I can tell as fair. I will be really appreciate for any helps and advices. Thanks.

Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked.

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD but it is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are. Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store?

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD, a Kpop group. It is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are.
Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store? (The album is called The Boys)

Well how much does the album cost? Because I have an issue with this except I live in America and I wish to purchase something from the Australian store... perhaps I can gift you your album and you could gift me my album.
