Yeah, I never had the 7 Plus before, so I can't speak to personal experience. However, at this point, honestly an IR port just seems a bit gimmicky to me, no matter what device it's on...

I used to own a few devices back in ye olde Symbian days which had IR ports on them, and I hardly ever used them at all for anything. The fact that the 7.7 lacks an IR port, does not disappoint me in the least. It was never a selling point to me anyway. I mean, it's not like I thought to myself, "Well, it's got a great HD SAMOLED Plus screen and all, and I really like how thin and light it is, but no IR blaster? Hmmm... Yeah that's a deal breaker..."

Come on... Seriously?

Look, for all you guys holding out on this wonderful piece of hardware due to its apparent lack of a IR port, if you only plan to use that to control your home theatre system, or change the channel on your TV, A) that's a stupid reason NOT to buy a tablet (no offence), and B) you can already use your non-IR device to control your entire house (if you wanted to) with Red Eye Remote.

So there you go guys! Problem solved! Now go buy one already!!

Sheesh... :P

Hai all;

I hope that someone who has kind heart could help me out of my problem.

I bought P6800 from HK in Jan 2012, then I rooted by using superuser and busybox. But i made a big mistake by uninstalled busybox so it crash thw WIFI system. THen I tried to flash the ROM by using one of the ROm from here but it failed. :((

By the way, I just tried to flash my ROM by Odin3 v 1.85 and P6800ZSLA2, bcs it is my stock ROM, without any PIT file or other, I also only check AUTO REBOOT and F.REPEAT TIME.

But It is failed with the reason below:

ID:0/008> Added!!

<ID:0/008> Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..

<ID:0/008> File analysis..

<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/008> Initialzation..

<ID:0/008> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/008> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/008> boot.bin

<ID:0/008> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/008> cache.img

<ID:0/008>

<ID:0/008> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

ad now my p6800 become soft brick, only 2 outcomes when I start the samsung;

1. Odin Mode

2. Yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it

I also tried to do recovery mode from KIES but the KIES cant detect the Samsung. However, the Odin can detect the Samsung

I hope someone kind enough to help me out for this problem, what kind mistakes that I made, and How to fix it back to original factory ROM again.

thank you very much for your all, Greatly appreciate in advance too.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi Caviar378, Not sure where you are, but I am In Aus and just watched best tennis ever!! I am very tired, but first if you try Kies again, and you will see 'troubleshoot connection' Do this and follow the instructions ..it will automatically reinstall the driver. Then see if it will update. I am on wrong PC, but somewhere in Kies there is (maybe tools) provision for emergency recovery . but you need a code. Try this and tell me what happens. Give me a few hours sleep, and I will be thinking better. Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I agree with you 100%, samsung must have not include it on the final product for a reason. If you really want it just go out and get it, I got mine even though I knew it would be a long shot for it to work with voice+3g on T-Mobile, it doesn't but I don't regret getting it either way. So stop complaining and go and get it if you can afford to :-)

If your talking about the Verizon version coming out it WILL NOT have phone and sms features.

If you look at the Verizon press pics you can see there is no speaker grill for the phone on the top of the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
anyone can tell me the clock speed of the mali 400 gpu inside the p6800? it is 400mhz or about 260mhz as in the gs2?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Is there a way to check?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
my p6800 if god want arrives to my tomorrow or in to 2 days, so i cant chek, but i suppose that any app that allow to overclock the gpu is also capable of check the actual clock
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi again, Did you flash the P6800ZSKL2 rom(this is the official rom installed when you got tab) from u-file ? If not try this .....

Go to http://www.u-file.net/

go to the top of the page and hit 'Top Files'.

In the search textbox enter : p6800zskl2

There are five files ..download all.

........Use 'hjsplit' to join all the 5 files, (bit fiddly), then extract (password 'samfirmware.com') to get P6800ZSKL2.tar . Use this in Odin PDA. You don't have to worry about any other files.(

NO PIT FILE

Having finished flashing again, Close Odin Open Kies, Restart tab etc and (maybe 'troubleshoot' again) Kies will tell you there is an update OR you can try update from Settings -> About device -> Software update (OTA method). I proceeded with this (in my case new rom is P6800ZSLA2, which is where I was before I started all this !!!). ..(see my post 659 on page 66) cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
SetCPU is an app that allows you to modify your speed settings, once you have root access. However, as far as overclocking is concerned, until someone develops a modified kernel, we're not able to go beyond 1.4ghz for now.

Having said that, the 7.7 is scorching fast as it is. I mean, unless your goal is to have your face ripped off from sheer speed, then yeah I suppose you'd need to overclock. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
i dont want to overclok the cpu, i want know the speed of the mali-400, tha gpu of the p6800. i want to understand if the graphic power is superior of the gpu of the ipad 2

sorry

rong tab, not the 7.7 it was the SCH-1800

DELETE PLZ. So Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] CAVIAR378:
I tried to do everything that you suggested here, but I dont have any luck yet, the same problem still persist. I bought the sammy from HK, but I live in Indonesia, the worst thing is that Samsung has not launched P6800 in Indonesia, so I cant get any tech support locally. :(

I might make a mistake by checking pre partitionn on the first attemp to update the ROM, therefore it might that I really need the PIT file, unless there is other way to do it. I have tried all stock ROM on the website (Austria, 2 HK version) except the Australian one. I hope someone kind enough to give the download site for Australian ROM for me, therefore I can try it too.

However Kies cant help me at all, bcs it cant detect the sammy, but Odin could.

I tried all kind of methods but it is still the some problem on Kies. it always try to "connecting" then after a while, Kies will ask to reboot the phone bcs it failed to connect, and the same thing happened over and over again.

Sorry for my english, and I really really appreciate your kindness and attention. Hope you can find other way to fix the phone, Thanksss again.

Hi everyone...

I'm having a problem with my Tab 7.7, and i dont think this is a hardware defect.

I have never used a Honeycomb before, my prev device is Galaxy Note, which is Gingerbread.

I cannot copy any files to both my internal memory nor my microSD card...

I'm using a Mac, have installed Kies and Android File Transfer from Android.com, but still can't solve the problem

I also tried using a PC, Windows 7. I've installed newest version of Kies. The Tab 7.7 is detected successfully. Both internal dan microSD card was detected. but i still cannot copy anything. I'm trying to copy some PDF file, Doc files, ringtone, MP4 video, and some photos. All failed...

I don't know any other way to copy files to my device. Can anyone help me?

Thx in advance

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

Update:

I managed to create a new folder in my micro SD card...but still can't copy anything
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
At the moment, the Australian rom is for model GT-6810 ..WIFI ONLY version ..DO NOT USE THIS ! I purchased mine from Singapore but is the Hong Kong model. If you get the Austrian rom to work, it will not update !! see my post no 659 page 66.

The only one you can use is the above P6800ZSKL2.

Attached is the pit file from my GT-6800 Hong Kong model.

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Good Luck Gary

if i root my p6800, and after this i install the samsung official ota update, will i lose the root?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
What version are you coming from, and what version are you going to?

I didn't lose root when I updated to LA2.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
i dont know what version, it is confirmed that my tablet arrives tomorrow, but i know that there is an ota update avaiable, and i would to know if i can have both the update and the root :|
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi, Raziel, you can do the update via Kies or via Settings -> About device ->Software update ..(OTA) After any update, run this attached file through normal recovery (left Volume and power key -> 'Android system recovery <3e>' .....'apply update from external storage'.

Put the " root.zip " in the root of your SD card. This is all you need to root the Tab.

This root.zip file came from earlier in the thread and as I have flashed several times, I have used it each time after the flash.

This file comes with compliments of Jade Eyed Wolf

Enjoy your Tab Cheers

Thank you for contacting Samsung. Kind regards,

-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Samsung team member, can you please pressure the product team to release an upgrade to this device as the screen fonts are so small its very difficult to use.

I have read in a number of forums that customers are not happy with this problem and some believe that it will be fixed with the release of ICS for this device.

I bought the product with the intention of using it for work and its painfull to read. I really hope something can be done to fix this urgently.

Kind regards

Hi, i just got Galaxy Tab 7.7" but it has some weird problem. Whenever screen shuts down, after a few seconds, a notification pops out saying that sim card have been removed and it reboots it self, after rebooting it doesn't recognize a SIM card. I have to manually shut it down, pull the sim out and in again and then it works... I did not root it yet or anything! Anyone know what I can do!

I have original 7" tab and display simply doesn't compare it is a different league... everything runs incredibly smooth, it is very fast and very responsive... I use autocad app very much and that is where you notice the difference very much... absolutely no delays in work with files that are very heavy even for my desktop! I am still finding out every detail since it is my first Honeycomb device but first impressions have been extremely positive. But then this bug showed up and now it annoys me very much! Anyone have any idea what it could be wrong!

P.S. One thing that suprised me is that you can use it as a universal control for a TV (not just Samsung but other brands as well)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] goattee:
Congratulations on your new treasure!

I don't have special knowledge but my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 (7") had this problem as one of the flakey things it did when the internal storage was getting very full. Is it possible you have loaded a lot of files (esp. video)?

Maybe it's the SIM?

Here is a dumb but typical troubleshooting idea to find out: can you try swapping SIMs? Put a known good SIM from another device into your tablet. See whether the same error condition appears. (Also put the SIM from your tablet in another device and see whether you get similar errors.)

Keep us informed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I still don't have memory full (not even close) and I will try changing sim but this sim card was in my 7"tab and it worked fine before! Will post later if this solve problem...

P.S. Since I asked a question it did not reject sim once, even though it did turn off screen, so I guess it is not that often as I first assumed!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
I've read if not from galaxy note or nexus that it can be used as tv remote too. Using the IR or nfc, kinda forgot. So that means tab 7.7 have nfc too?

How did you get this? Product reviewers are just getting this in the next couple of days. Only pre-orders with uncertain stock dates are available.

For everyone else interested in the full specs, and to clarify which model the 7.7 (p6800) is, you can check out the full details at SAMSUNGS WEBSITE HERE

EDIT: The tab will reboot if you install a SIM card while the unit is ON.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I explained on a previous page already, please don't make me again! I even posted pictures so you can be sure I am talking truth.

My problem with the tab is that SIM card is already in it, it works for couple of hours and than it says that SIM card has been removed (even though it hasn't) and it reboots itself. After rebooting it doesn't recognise a SIM and only< after I manualy shut it down, take the card ou and in again and power back on it works OK!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sg10:
what happen if you remove the SIM card and use it for several hours ?

if it works than it's either software/hardware error in the SIM card reader
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I belive that is what it is... The same SIM card works fine on my old original galaxy tab! I am affraid it will be a while until someone is able to fix this for me. I just hope it is a software error.
