Before things get out of hand about best ways to discharge/charge out tab's batteries, can i suggest reading this.

In a nutshell, they're saying under "disadvantages" (and yes, i know not everyone agrees with Wiki) that discharging a li-ion battery past its in-built "safe-levels" can render the battery inoperable... and potentially lead to it "combusting..." (?)

it comes back to the strong suggestions across many posts that you never let the battery die totally, and then try "kill" it further. if your battery is not doing as it should, after all else fails, then a Service Center would be your best bet, since there is a known issue with a batch of batteries that went out in some of our Tabs. I read in a few other posts that Samsung generally doesn't even question the battery replacement. But, its on a service basis, so you'll only know for sure when you're there... :S

Having said all that, please, this is just my view, if anyone understands this better (electronics and me never mixed after a 2KV slam-dunk 4 yrs ago, never been back for another sparkly moment... :D ), please, let us know!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
That is 100% accurate, however nothing much we can do about it...if the batterystats file gets corrupted or miscalculated in some way, the only solution is to perform the battery "recalibration".

Yeah seems new market has issues downloading stuff sometimes...but where are you seeing it referenced as USB storage?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DJChriZZ:
So, second batery test done. From yesterday to today afternoon: 31,5 H device on with Wi-Fi - 3G. Sometimes BT with phone calls. Listen Internet radio 2 hours. A little Navigation for 20 minutes with GPS on. A little bit more than normal using.

that's very nice batery live.

The internet browser is sometimes slow when theres a flash video, I mean many slower as in Jupiter.

any one can help or know how to fix it
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ashdragon:
Need to do some more testing but am having issues with Kratos that I wasn't with Jupiter.

Wifi reconnect has definitely been fixed, reconnects nice and quick when i get home from work now where it didn't always on Jupiter.

Now while i am at work my Tab lives in my Locker, basically a Metal box which obviously makes it hard for any sort of radio signals, be they wifi or phone to reach the tab.

While I am at home (and connected to wifi) the battery discharge is really good but for some reason while it is in my locker it now discharges very rapidly ( from 45% to 5% today for example over a 10 hour shift) It has also done it from a much Higher charge percentage but loses a big chunk of battery life while in the locker, so i'm convinced it's not a calibration problem. This is about the 3rd time it has done it now when locked away, always losing a big percentage of the battery life.

Now while at work it can't connect to any Wifi networks anyway, there are about 3 of them but they are not accessible to me, even though one of them is detected as an Open network ( obviously protected in some other fashion though)

My thinking is that the new Wifi fix has introduced something that is making the Tab hunt or try to connect to one of these unavailable networks extremely often, or possibly something has changed that the 3G is now being made to work harder to work through the metal box.

On Jupiter the battery depletion rate was a little bit higher while in the box compared to sitting around at home, maybe max of 10% per shift but nothing like what it is now on Kratos.

I am going to try a few thing to narrow it down:

-Leave it outside the box ( will prove Phone/3G signal isn't an issue)

-Turn the Wifi off while in the box ( see if that has an effect)

Interested in hearing of anyone else experiencing similar things.

Kratos was done as a no-wipe update over Jupiter and i'll do a wipe install if necessary but I'm gonna try the things above first to try and see if i can narrow it down. Personally I doubt that a Wipe install will help as otherwise this rom has been bulletproof for me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nmesisca:
if the tab is in a closet where it cant pick up a decent enough signal to be able to connect, then the wifi radio will keep polling the available wifi networks and try to connect. and repeat this on and on.

this will cause the battery to deplete much faster than if you had it connected all along.

medscape stopped working

hi, i just installed the rom, running fast, but medscape mobile is not working anymore!!!

this is a deal breaker for me, whenever i press download clinical reference it says internet connectivity interupted

i checked at medscape support, it says this problem happens when u have an add blocker, and i know that overcome rom has an ad blocker,

i need to disable it, please help!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] luigi_sa:
hey @Marridi, just download ad block from the market, and re-enable ads. should sort it out

Battery Life

Just my tuppence - I flashed Kratos on Tuesday night and had to charge last night. I do manage 3G and wireless, so when they are not needed (like when I'm at work) I switch 'em off - using some power control widgets, which make it straightforward.

Impression is, battery life is better than Jupiter. I have yet to recalibrate battery stats (and never did it with Jupiter).

Thank you Team Overcome for another fine effort!

Wifi issue

I flashed v3.1.0(wiped). Great rom. Just one issue, I am working in an university where there is a wifi secured with EAP. I noticed that the tab can connect to the wifi OK. But after a while(one hour or so, I am not really sure), I lost connection to the internet, and in the wifi setting it shows authenticating and stuck there. There was no problem with previous version. I also tried in CM rom, it was fine. Can you please look into that? I am more than willing to help if you need further information.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ashdragon:
Oh yes , I understand this it's just that it's only since using Kratos that it has gotten anywhere near as bad, using Jupiter and older roms it didn't play up like this.

Ashdragon - Is anything else different from Jupiter to Kratos, e.g. have you installed more apps, widgets, etc? :confused:

I have found some apps run continuously and drain battery, even when you think they are off.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ashdragon:
Nothing new really, no.

I'm at work again now and have had the wifi off while tab was in my locker and it lost maybe 1-2 % in the 4 hours or so it was there so it seems my wifi hunting theory is correct as previous times it has lost 15% or so over the same time period.

Mobile network & bluetooth problem

Hi

I am on Overcome 3.1 ROM version. Recently I recognized, that my tab started to face mobile network and bluetooth problems. After some time it looses GSM connection and neither mobile network nor bluetooth work. Options to see Mobile networks and Bluetooth settings are grayed out. Switching on and off flight mode does not help. Restarting does not help as well. Deleting cache and Dalvik cache seems to help but just for some time. After some time it looses connections again. I tried to factory reset and install rom again, but after some time the same problem appears again.

What could be a problem and a solution to it.

Thank you for your support

Cheers

yes you can, open your stock browser up

scroll down to "enable plug-ins"

change it "on demand" (it will currently say always on.

I am unable to install some apps from the market. I tried using Market Enabler which worked on all of my other Android devices but it still doesn't work.

It looks like carrier issues or something where market Enabler isn't working. For example, when I search for "Google Plus" or "Kindle" the apps are never listed.

Anybody have any suggestions I should try?

I confirm that since Hermes power consumption become considerably worse. While on Hermes my Tab consumed about 4 mA in idle state (with Wi-Fi turned on) and power drop was about 0.4% per hour. Now on Kratos it consmes 20-50 mA (all figures according Battery Monitor Widget) and loose 10% overinght (8 hours).

Is it still possible to download Hermes ROM? I want to try downgrade ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pat19:
hi guys,

im new with this. i followed the steps in the intallation guide and found out that i have protected bootloaders. i downloaded the bootloader patcher and confirmed that i have protected bootloaders and just want to make sure this will not brick my tab before i patch and install overcome. is it safe for me to patch?

model: GT-P1000

firmware: 2.2

baseband: P1000XXJMF

kernel: 2.6.32.9 root@sep-53 #1

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scottyf79:
Wifi on is definately killing my battery aswell, maybe worth waiting to see what the team come up with in a future version or fix. Lost 9% in under an hour with no oc or uv and all the usual drains switched off. However Only lose around 2% per day with wifi off which is pretty awesome.

Ive been reading its something to do with wifi constantly scanning.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jychan28:
So far, battery life with Overcome ROM is terrible with my Samsung Galaxy Tab, I hope this version will somehow solve the problem.

My iPAD battery can last more than 2 months if I don't use it.

Galaxy Tab last about 3 days if I don't use it. That is just too short.

My recollection for my stock ROM 2.2 Froyo is about couple of weeks.

Does anyone care to comment or my Galaxy Tab battery went bad just happened after upgraded to Overcome ROM?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kmrdeva:
Haven't left my Tab uncharged for more than a 2 day stretch since I'm a relatively heavy user, but I do think it's quite unfair to compare a tablet with a 6000-ish mah battery and a non-full/pure multitasking OS with another that runs android with a 4000-ish may battery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bnbasarir:

@pat19

First you need to root your tab.

Then you can try to patch your boot loader if you are on Froyo.

Read Chainfire thread on that.

It is always dangerous to do anything to bootloader.

It is the only way to brick your tab.

But many have successfully run it. Zero failure if I am not mistaken.

Do it at your own risk.

I guess that is why nobody replies to you...

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PCdumb:
Can someone help to confirm for OC settings.

I use SetCPU and OC to 1200 and did a quadrant test. What I got was quite similar to just setting it 1000. (about 1750) . It does not get significantly faster.... unless its set above 1200.

Does anyone else also have this OC performance characteristic? That being the case, I've left it at 1000 setting just to conserve power since it did not give me any benefits to OC to 1200.

Oh... just to report on the battery life. Standby is fine at just 2% loss overnight for about 10 to 12 hours. In usage, there's been no improvement after several more charge cycles. It still only gets me slightly more than 5 hours of continuous use (combination of surfing, playing games, videos, music and general fiddling with change settings, etc).

On Hermes... I could get about 7 hours of continuous use. Looks like a 20% reduction in power cionsumption efficiency for the added speed & smoothness.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] trident0815:
Ok, now I used Kratos (Wipe) for some days . . . .

The build runs fast, maybe faster than Jupiter - but for sure faster than the stock Froyo ROM from Samsung.

No Problems with anything, except:

- Navigation from the adressbook isnt possible. Google Maps (or any other map/navigation app) only finds an empty adress book. Did not find a solution for this.

- SPB Shell worked better with Jupiter, is freezing often under Kratos.

- Ok, that was enough for now :-)

Thank you so much you have contributed to the Galaxy Tab forum! Your instructions and products are both so professional. Your kernel, GB safe files, and Odin have always saved me. Love the new Rom. It was a great surprise. I was going to flash another rom (since overcome is all I've been running, just got antsy for a change). Got stuck in my normal unroot, odin mode between and by the time I got root and thw tab ready there was a new rom and theme waiting. Back to Overcome it was. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PCdumb:
Just encountered my first wifi related battery drain yesterday night. I leave my wifi on all the time at home and it would drain only like 2% over 8 hours on standby.... until this encounter.

Fully charged and unplugged before going to bed. 6 hours later did a check in the morning and found the battery to be at 84%. Noticed that there was an "Update" notification in the notification bar.

Did a check on the battery usage and as expected, Wifi was the highest at 46% while others were insignificant compared to it. Display was like only 3% since it was on standby all the time.

So I guess, not only does it drain the batt when signal is weak and the Tab is continuously seraching for a connection. Even when the signal is strong, if there is an update available, it somehow also keeps the wifi/3G active?

I've turned off the "background Data" and will monitor when I get back from work later. Hopefully, it would not have drained more than 2-3% over the 12 hours or so, when it does not detect the available updates.

Hello friends,

I got a question about the Overcome installation. Is it possible to remove the (for me) useless apps and add other apps bevor I flash the Rom? Or would it break the installation script?

PS: sometimes there are some lags during scrolling. But that is dependent from your settings (overclocking, goverment, no animations aso).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dimcus:
It's quite possible. You may search installation script (/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script) for any references to the items you are going to remove, just in case. Usually there are no references to apk files.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PCdumb:
Got home and found the batt had drained to 54%. Wifi was still at the highest at 52% while display was at 17% which is odd since it was on standby all the while. Guess the turning off the background data did not help. Don't know what the wifi was trying to do. I've switched it off and charging it now. Hopefully it was some one off event that doesn't re-occur, else I might just go back to Hermes.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ashdragon:
You are not alone in the wifi issues, I can reliably reproduce the battery drain on mine where it has wifi turned on ( but no networks that I am authorised to connect to) and drops significantly faster than being in the same location if i turn the Wifi off.

At home with wifi left on and connected there is no excess drain at all and connection is bulletproof.

I also tried deleting the password for the home network and see if it was something to do with just scanning for networks rather than trying to connect to them but again, even when left overnight with no functional network connection, battery drain was not a problem.

The only thing I can put this down to now is that the work location that I have drain problems has an Open network available (but it's probably MAC address secured as I can't actually connect to it) and I am wondering if the Wifi Mods made in this version to cure the disconnection issues from previous versions have somehow interfered and it's trying (and failing) to repeatedly connect to the open network way too often?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] docangle:
