There is an expression in English for new owners who like to experiment with their devices. It is called "Bleeding Edge", and for a good reason.

If you stick to tested procedures, you should have no problems. It is really a great device!

I am torn between getting this one, or waiting for the (mabe vaporware) Asus MeMO 370T at half the price...

Just a quick question guys.

I used the email client for my gmail and yahoo account. It worked fine receiving and sending emails over wifi or 3g, but then if i turned on flight mode and then turned on wifi, there was always a connection error when checking email. Is this normal?

I was trying to conserve battery sometime by turning on flight mode to disable 3g radio and then used wifi only. Is this necessary?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] emailpeter:
Hi Shinji,

I confirm same problem as you. Email send/receive works perfectly on 3G but intermittently (mostly not) on wifi. Irrespective of which ISP or router I use. Perhaps a bug for repair soon.

Of greater drawback with all Honeycomb machines (perhaps even ICS too) is the automatic clearing of cache/programs. Hence when you have a few pages opened on any browser (generic, dolphin or opera etc) the OS will remove the contents of these pages upset upon you leaving browser for an uncertain period. Upon reentering, it will have to reload entirely all over again. I believe this will draw on your 3G or wifi more than that above email issue. The bigger pain is having to wait for page to load before can read. Its a weakness of the OS/kernel being agreessive in clearing out RAM. No amount of tweaking w RAM managers can solve this. IPhone/iPad seems to manage this a lit better. So does an old Symbian phone. What a mess for Android! !!!

Has any of you had this issue, when i tried to update my tab i had to insert my sim thats the only way it update and it updated from

To

It didnt ask me to choose country, the only way it asked me for a country was when i didnt have my sim and i got this message

anyone experienced this?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Can you tell me all the processes that are conected with Kies, maybe I am overlooking something!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi Ozren, I just started Kies with Task Manager open and noted the following processes ..Kies.exe*32 ..KiesPDLR.exe*32 .. KiesTrayAgent.exe*32.

When I close Kies. In Task Manager only the first one stopped. ...I have never had to do this when I flashed, but if you End Process for the other two. then try Odin. ....I think this is what the above means. keep trying !!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
All of those I terminated but Odin still won't flash a firmware!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
adinis78

Everything was exactly the same for me, except the first time I updated, I didn't have the sim in, so it asked for country, then updated. Versions from/to are identical
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Thats weird it didnt let me update without sim, but at least i was able to
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Ozren, when you posted earlier your message log from Odin, it showed that it got to 'NAND Write start". but would not actually write the files. This would indicate to me that Odin is working, but there is an issue with writing to nand. Give me some time to think this one out !! Be in touch cheers Gary

have you tried sim in ..sim out

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
becarefull for now there are 3 versions, th honkk kong, the australian and the prototipe
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
Ozren - what are you flashing exactly.

I downloaded the file mentioned in one the earlier posts:

After join & extracting i get P6800ZSKL2.tar

Filesize in windows : 866,781 kb

Just to compare.

i would use latest version of odin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
That is, as far as I undestood, HK version of fw. I tried that also but it did not help, I got the same message. Lately I've been trying to flash this file P6800OXALA3_P6800XXLA3_P6800XXLA3_HOME.tar.md5

you can find it here
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
i take it you are removing the md5 extension bit of the file.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Am I supposed to? I did not remove it, just select the file like that in PDA! But the same message apeared with HK fw and it did not have .md5 extension
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
I flashed this 'Austrian" rom and pretty sure you don't remove the md5 extension, but certainly worth a try.

By the way the coding of that rom ie XA and XX refer to other countries as well ...so probably it is really a European rom
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
You can remove it. If odin cant understand it will just fail.

If needs be you can extract the tar and flash the seperate partitions. BUT DO NOT flash over the bootloader stuff. Look how to make a flashable odin file.

hopefully u get it sorted
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I messed my tab up with titanium backup, when trying out an option to integrate and than to remove dalvik from rom. After that device restarted and was stuck in boot loop. Factory reset from recovery did not help! What do you think? Could it be a kernel or what?

Tried removing .md5 but odin gave behaved the exact same way as before! No luck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
Only kernel from your original firmware. I take you installed kies on your computer and at least once connected you tab to it and it installed your drivers correctly. I take it says com 2*

or some number.

Have you tried another computer. I am running out of ideas. I could use heidmal to extract My pit file and try repartiton with the firmware. You could end up with a paperweight :( it depends did your tab have "stock" firmware in the first place, did u mention u have a developer tab. At the very least go into heidmall and get your pit info. Dont worry ur not flashing anything and we compare partiton sizes.

Someone who knows more about this stuff is better to help u.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Try Starting your Tab this ..sort of 'normal' start. I've done this many times and it starts OK every time , so I doubt you hurt anything

Hold down both Vol UP and DOWN at same time ...(fullpressure in middle of VOL button).....then press power button and hold until Samsung screen ...let go power, still holding Volume ....... What happens ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
I did not try another computer, I will... This was probably pre release tab cause it had working IR port. And I am not sure if I am doing this right but when I try download pit, it says "libusb error".

i need to restore my tab with original firmware, i tried www.u-file.net and searched for p6800zskl2 but it seems they dont have the file anymore, where else can i get it. I need it to fix the video player as it does not even play the demo video it came with. thanks.

EDIT:ok so i did a hard reset and it resolved my issue, still running new firmware update and still rooted.

would still like an alternative download of original firmware since for some reason u-file.net does not have it

Hi guys, new here! I've had my Galaxy Tab 7.7 since Dec. 5, and I've been using it since. But I checked here that there's a firmware update already. I tried going thru Kies and thru the phone's software update but no luck. Any other ideas?

My firmware used is P6800XXKJ1

Really appreciate your input guys! :D

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

BTW, HIDSWVER is P6800XXKJ3/P6800OXAKJ3/P6800XXKJ1/P6800XXKJ3 :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Hi, If you have had your Tab since Dec 5, does it have the IR function .. If it has then you have a prototype or pre-production model. DON'T try to update it yet , otherwise you might have similar problem to Ozren. If you are connected with Tab to internet you could go to Settings -> About device -> Software update ->Update and follow the prompt twice. If it tells you there is no update , then you have latest for your version of the Tab.

I would love to know if you have the IR function/port.

Sorry I see you have done this
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jc2mm2:
Sure, any ideas how to check if the IR is working? :)

Yeah, I guess it is a pre-production model. I checked Kies thru Regedit, under Kies-->DeviceDB-->2-->Product Code, the product code just states XXXXXXXXXXX. Base Model indicated is GT-P7500 (which is a Galaxy Tab 10.1) But Display Name is GT-P6800.

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

Update: Peel is working for me :D So I'm pretty sure my IR is working :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
OK , Ozren has problems with his pre-production vers. and I think (nearly sure) it has a different partition structure to the current production model. DON't Attempt to force a flashing of the current roms you have read about. Just for the present. If it working good ..don't touch it. I have a production vers. without IR, so I can't help there. Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jc2mm2:
Dang. Oh well, good thing I just spent $300 for this baby. Only problem is that some apps are not working properly that are supposed to work with the retail 7.7. But I guess I'll just have to wait for someone to update theirs. :D

Would you guys think I should bring this to our Samsung Service Center in our country instead? :D My friend owns a big store that is a valued client of Samsung mobiles, so I think this guy has some friends in the inside.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wackyD:
So when is CM9 coming out for this thing already? :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
Good Question, I suspect that from the reports when you google, that Samsung will release an official ICS first. Who knows ????
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] scottath:
id think (and hope) a custom OS will come out before the official samsung one does - and im flashing mine the same day......

im running ICS on my Galaxy S1 and love it - very very quick....and thats on my (now aging) phone. on this 1.4ghz dual core monster it will be awesome.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Mine device has different partition sizes so I am not able to flash anything on it. What do you all think about possibility to use pda form available roms, and have a pit file form someone that has a working device, and check a re-partition in Odin during flashing? Would that kill the device totaly or it might actually work? Forgive me if this is an utterly nonsense, I am just that desperate and don't know that much about this device!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
Hi jc2mm2, you seem to have a very similar HIDSWVER to ozren:

HIDSWVER: P6800XXKJ2/P6800OXAKJ2/P6800XXKJ1/P6800XXKJ2

Could you guys both find your product code using regedit as described earlier in this list http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21649213&postcount=691 to confirm? It is under ProductCode at the same registry location. For example (but no use to ozren, mine for australia wifi model is GT-P6810XXXXSA). If we can get that it might help track down a firmware download. (sorry, jc2mm2 - just saw your earlier post with all X's)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jc2mm2:
Sadly, under product code, mine states XXXXXXXXXXXXXX only. :( Can you check your BaseModel, since mine states GT-P7500, and under ModelName is GT-P6800, which I think is kinda weird.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
Yes, my BaseModel is GT-P7510
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gazjglusk:
The GT-6800 version is 3g + Wifi

My Product code GT-P6800LSATGY

Base Model GT-P7500

ModelName GT-P6800
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
ozren - don't repartition as we can't be sure that the new bootloaders are correct for your version. they might work but you could end up bricking it permanently.

I see someone has a similar device like yours. I think if you can get a dd copy of his system partition and try flashing that using heimdall / odin. it contains the dalvik android stuff you might have deleted (system stuff is read only so I am not sure u did this:confused:) , but it might work. or even the factory.fs from a GT 68000 firmware release. again do not repartition. then do a factory reset and fingers crossed

or wait for a compatible update release by Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Hi, I can't get a copy of someones pit file, from a device that has functioning IR. What I did get is a pit file from a guy who successfully flashed Austrian rom on his device. But I am not that brave to try that and re-partition. I did tried to create a tar file using 7zip containing only factoryfs, and even-though it loaded in Odin, when I pressed start Odin froze and collapsed. This process did not make any damage on the device, it is still in boot loop and I can still access download mode and recovery!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jc2mm2:
If you need my Pit file, I'll glady get a copy using heimdall :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Oh please, if nothing it will help me to compare partitions! Is your device with working IR? What is your version of software?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
try heimdall to flash the actual factory.fs file from the rom. no need to tar etc.

do not re-partition.

i have been using heidmall to flash some partitions to my phone and back and it did not brick. just stay away from bootloaders etc. (i use linux cli version of heimdall)

so you can flash just factory.fs, then do a wipe in recovery.

again try at your own risk

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] arkistan:
Sorry for the noob question, but if I buy the unlocked 3G version (let's assume it's the HK version) and decide NOT to flash or root, will I experience any restrictions by using it in the US or Korea?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
No. You will not experience any restrictions imposed upon you by the carrier.

Rooting your device simply gains you access to the system files, and grants you the permissions necessary to change, add, or remove them in the system directory. Basically this means, among other things, you can flash custom ROM's if you choose to (once we have someone develop for the 7.7 first), or add a modified recovery bootloader, like ClockworkMod recovery, so you can easily make an entire backup of your system etc.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] arkistan:
Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed answer. I am going ahead and ordering an unlocked 7.7.

CWM Rom Manager from market.

Warning: restore may leave your 7.7 hung at "Galaxy Tab" screen.

Hi Guys, tried out CWM Rom manager from the market on my P6810 (wifi).

It appeared to install and flash itself ok. I tried a few of its features, this is what I

found so far:

Recovery with Vol-up+power looks like normal samsung 3e recovery.

Recovery via rom manager -> cwm recovery

Rom Manager backup makes a backup with these files:

25/01/2012 12:59 PM 8,388,608 boot.img

25/01/2012 01:00 PM 27,456 cache.img

25/01/2012 01:00 PM 90,879,360 data.img

25/01/2012 01:01 PM 222 nandroid.md5

25/01/2012 12:59 PM 8,388,608 recovery.img

26/01/2012 04:41 PM 842,049,886 system.img

6 File(s) 949,734,140 bytes

I don't know if this is a complete set, because I dont use the market

version on any other device.

Tried manage/restore backups in Rom manager, nothing listed.

Tried advanced restore in CWM -> system -> it failed "Error formatting /system"

Able to reboot ok

Tried normal restore in CWM recovery, selected the backup - it failed.

Restart gets to white Galaxy Tab screen and stuck there.

Flashed back to life with odin.

All this talk of it having no IR Blaster really has got me worried, as that would be the icing on the cake for me, and I would use it at home as a remote to replace my bazillion remotes which get in my freaking way every day. Can anyone confirm that the IR-port IS on some production units, and that theres a good chance the Europe production models will have them?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Suopo:
I was waiting for IR-port too, was disappointed to learn that it's probably not there. Then I ran into something that sounds quite interesting. I cannot post links yet, so go and google for 'Android Beacon'
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] goattee:
My experience might help. I bought my 7.7 3G model at the Mobile Expo in Thailand two days ago. The demonstration area had one with an obvious rectangular red plastic section.. So I figured that the Southeast Asian models have IR. I had my Thai partner ask about this. The answer was "no infrared. "

This is not a crucial feature for me so I got it. And love it!

I think Samsung must have done a rather large initial production run and decided on a redesign. And they must be using the early units as demonstration units. One of the earliest users in this thread got his as a thank you from a Samsung retailer/distributor and it had IR too. Unfortunately those early ones may never get OTA updates.
