ok I recovered P6810 which is the wifi version, this version does not have the extended mini app draw at the bottom of the screen.

apparently only the 3g version has the extended customizable mini app draw which is the P6800.

I'm gonna try to flash the P6800 3G firmware into the wifi P6810 in an attempt to get the extended app draw in the wifi version

where can I find the firmware for P6800 3G version?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
You are right. All the files you mentioned plus modem.bin
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
This sounds very dangerous - flashing firmware meant for different device? Where will the modem/phone firmware end up on a wifi device?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Honestly, with the screen being Gorilla glass, unless you're scrubbing it with gravel and sand on a regular basis, it really doesn't need a screen protector.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
That's what they said about the Nexus 1, too, and mine had a big scratch right in the middle of the screen. I never even knew what did it.

I agree totally... I saw a few screen protectors on Amazon that claim to be for the 7.7 but I'm not totally sure I can trust them. I may wait for zagg or wrapsol to come out with them. BTW, I found the below products on Amazon...

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Screen Protector + Full Body Skin Protector Shield with Lifetime Replacements

EMPIRE Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 3 Pack of Screen Protectors [EMPIRE Packaging]

Skinomi TechSkin - Screen Protector Shield for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

I think the armorsuit would be the most promising but the seller says it won't be released until Feb 1. Maybe they know something about the Verizon 7.7 release?? Either way, I'm probably gonna wait until the more popular varieties of screen protectors are released to ensure proper fit/etc.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
I was trying to hold off buying one until they came to the states, but I just realized that I am not going to buy the carrier version, and there won't be a wifi version here for some time. I just talked to Negri and they say overnight shipping can still get it here tomorrow if I'm lucky. Now I'm just trying to convince myself that I should wait until payday....

Overnight shipping is such a silly thing to pay for, but I am tempted.

do you think it's really useful update from original gtab? I use original one and have no problems, may be the only is non-honeycomb-style but imho it's eyecandy. also I think galaxy tab has better design
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
sadly, yeah, i prefer the white glossy original galaxy tab had. i love white
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jimmy34742:
Where's the price drop on the original gtab? If it came down 30-40% I'd buy one now just to mess around with.

My review of the 7.7: gimme.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] {Diemex}:
Definite buy for me. I'm already finding ways to pile up some money for the new version.

Everything that was a minus for me has been upgraded.

The batterylife.

The screen.

The hardware.

.....

Just hope that I will get it somehow to me in Germany for a affordable price.:-)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] beestee:
I read some clarification on this. There are no plans to release this product in the US...that the public or media should be aware of yet. Give it a few weeks.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hiu115:
Samsung can sell from the Black Market (if that's ever possible)

what makes me confused is that Apple sues Samsung for the Galaxy lines of tablets and smartphones, because of design patents?! Come on Apple, someone can't make phones because it's rectangular? My Grandma knows better than that.

Why get a screen protector wont it take away from the brilliance of the screen? And if you get a cover or so why would u need it.

I use "Boxwave Crystal Clear" screen protectors on all my devices. They are 99% transparency. They are so clear you can not even tell they are on.

Right now Boxwave has no plans to make them for the 7.7 so I am on the hunt for the best one right now.

Like other people have said, sand or any little dust can scratch these screens even if they are gorilla glass. And on another forum there is a debate going on whether or not the 7.7 has gorilla glass or not. There is no official response yet from Corning.

Sinto202 did you decompress the file or your tab simply refuse download after decompressing and turning odin on?

FYI I have a 7.7 with the IR port and the Peel app from market doesn't recognize it. There's probably something missing in the kernel. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can port it over from the 7+ Tab.

Can you guys take a look at spectrum chart and hopefully help me understand something,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart

As we all know tmobile runs their 3g, now known as 4g, on 1700mhz utms but the chart also shows running it on 1900mhz and i understand that the 7.7 supports 1900mhz so why could it not be possible for us tmobile users to run 3g+voice, am i missing something or just hopeless wishfull thinking. Thanks and sorry to keep bringing this up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bedwa:
Possible depending on the area. Though it seems that the baseband chip in this the tab plus AND the GNex may be the same. I'll have to get mine (after tax forms come in), perform a few experiments and get back to you. ;)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Paten:
Did you read the cited reference for that wiki entry? The referenced site says that the places that are showing 4G on 1900mhz are on the west coast. Unless you are in that area, I wouldn't count on being able to use 4G on that frequency.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ahhhh $@*#. . . :-( thanks i guess

Edit: actually i went back and read it and i didnt see where that was mentioned all i read was that by end of 2011 it would be upgraded to 4g did i miss it? 2eyes are better than one
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Paten:
I don't know what you read. I followed the link and read this. I don't see what you are seeing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ok another point i found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile

"T-Mobile USA owns licenses to operate a 1900 MHz GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) PCS (Personal Communications Service) digital cellular network and a 1700 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) digital cellular network that cover areas of the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. T-Mobile USA provides coverage in areas in which it does not own radio frequency spectrum licenses via roaming agreements with other operators of compatible networks."

What do you guys get out of this.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Paten:
Why does it matter what we think? Test it when you get your Tab and let us know how it works out for you. Then we'll all know.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ok got it, well it states where 1900 mhz are present and yes it mentions states in the west coast but on the main article it does state that it was to upgrade the entire network to support 1900 so maybe just maybe it might work once again will have to wait and see if its true
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ok one last post and this is from a tmobile forum, it looks promesing:

http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/14138

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi All, I am in Australia and a few days ago purchased GT-P6800 from Singapore eBay. Have been playing since and will outline my experience flashing roms.

First I discovered that if you press Volume DOWN and then Power button, the Tab starts in 'ODIN' recovery. (follow screen instructions). (pressing UP gives you 'official' recovery)

To flash the 'Austrian' rom.

1 Open Odin3 1.85 on pc with tab connected. Make sure 1st box under ID:COM is	yellow. check Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.

2 In PDA enter the file P6800OXALA3_P6800XXLA3_P6800XXLA3_HOME.tar.md5	(forget the dll file in the extracted folder)

3 Start the Tab as above and when in 'Odin recovery' , go back to pc and hit 'Start'	in Odin3. Flashing will commence and for me took about 4min. When finished	the Tab will auto restart. If you check the Build number in Settings -> About	device and it should show the P6800XXLA3_P6800OXALA3_ATO ROM.

If your Tab was rooted , you will have to re-root it.

My experience was then to close Odin and open KIes, restarting Tab when required. I found that Kies could not update my Tab (i cannot remember the exact words, but it is very obvious .. in Red i think) Maybe this suggests the Austrian rom is not official. I assumed this, so decided to flash the P6800ZSKL2 rom from earlier in this thread (see page 60 .. post 594) , using the same method as above with Odin.

........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.

Having finished flashing again, Close Odin Open Kies, Restart tab etc and Kies will tell you there is an update. I proceeded with this (in my case new rom is P6800ZSLA2, which it was before I started all this !!!). This took quite a while to download ; over 1 hour.

I hope all this makes sense ..I have written from memory.

PS. Ozren, If you can start in 'Odin recovery' as above , I think and hope you might be back in business.

Cheers to all. tell me if it doesn't make sense ....I don't do this often .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I think that post above should go to development subforum cause it is by far the best description of the flashing process I have seen for this tab! It will be a great help for every beginner!

My problem with flashing is that even when i do all the things in precise order as you describe, once I hit start I get this message in Odin:

<ID:0/039> File analysis..

<ID:0/039> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/039> Initialzation..
