Faux's Nexus AOSP rom is damn near perfect and uses the external sd card perfecty for what your wanting. I too think whoever decided to partition the internal storage that way is a complete idiot! I just use that internal sdcard for my mp3 and movie files and store backups and roms/kernels on my external along with installed apps/games to my ext partition using link2sd.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
That's what I do but it might be a more hassle-free solution to try a cm7-based rom or, as suggested, Fauxs aosp rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sateeshpnv:
After watching a movie for about an hour, apart from top-left part on the backside becoming quite warm, the display is garbled, flickering and shaky (like olden days overhead projectors used to do after they were used for a few hours).

Applications seem to be working fine. But, reading the screen is nearly impossible because of high flicker.

Has any one experienced this problem? Is there a solution?

I hope it is a temporary problem and will go away with power cycle, hard reset, etc.,

So far, I have faced five problems with Galaxy Tab 10.1 (16GB, WiFi) :(

Display garbled, flickering and shaky

DHCP causes loss of Internet connectivity after WiFi router reset because it didn't get same IP address. Had to configure static IP address

newton rings, oil slick on the screen

glass protruding on the bottom left

Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix or work-around?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1280975 seems to be related to some extent -- heat.

The problem appears to be permanent :( Just after 15 minutes of normal browsing, it happened again.

It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB WiFi upgraded to Samsung's official TouchWiz firmware.

Some settings:

1. No animations

2. Rosemary font

3. Screen in Standard mode

4. Default applications

Any suggestion for a fix or work-around is highly appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I wanted to really start from scratch so I went through some of the Samsung open source code and found that there were some unnecessary modules being loaded. That could be what's causing some problems (although I haven't had much but think it's signal related or Sprint's towers being updated), but with no overclocking and the changes, it could solve everything? Dunno still.

So I tried my best to trip the bloat-code out and try to keep it as stock as possible (no overclock), perhaps some of you can test this out for me.

Changelog

v.1

- CWM 4.0.1.5

- Superuser 3.0 + fixed su, now installs in /system/bin, you can update the binaries with SuperUser app.

- init.d support (/system/etc/init.d)

- Bootanimation support

- fixed Airplane toggle

Things to test:

- LOS?

- Video out? - sorry my video out adapter is still being shipped, I think I enabled it but can't really check???

-Airplane toggle should be fixed

Things I am working on:

- Boot splash logo? Still working on that, if anyone knows how to change it, please let me know.

- Recompiling CWM from scratch, add external SD support, fix wipe issue

- Add infrastructure to wifi tether and USB tether?

Devs, u r free to steal my stuff, or stuff I stole I really don't remember from taking too much energy pills, taking a big white line from Stevie Jobs, "Good artists copy, great artists steal.".

If you have some knowledge to share, plz don't forget to email me at zedomax [at] gmail.com

If this works well, I will build off it or otherwise I will keep optimizing until its fully stable.

Thanks guys, you rock!

Flashed fine over 4.1beta. Seems to be working well, airplane mode working. Under 4.1 I seem to suffer routine LOS when on the road but not when at home, so it may take a while to fully test but so far so good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:
I had the LOS today, had to restart my phone three times in the span of three hours. So, being frustrated, I booted in to CWM, wiped my davlik and flashed back to v1.1. Then I wiped davlik again, flashed back to v1.2 and rebooted. Haven't have a LOS issue since. So far so good...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
big thanx zedo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
I personally think CWM is causing some issues right now... no evidence behind it, just a suspicion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
CWM probably can't cause issues since it's in recovery, it doesn't fire up unless u r actually in recovery but CWM we all using right now have issues as they are based off SG2 CWM binaries. Someone has to compile a CWM for Epic4GT from scratch or at least hack it. I am gonna try that soon but compiling kernels is just taking too much time, I've been 24/7 compiling for like a whole week, get no other work done, i seriously need to go out to a rave and get f--ed up for couple days. Then my head will be clear, compiling will be fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Just ran it using cwm... loaded fine... I'll report back tomorrow after running it through it's paces... seems buttery smooth so far... btw wifi works well... I was having los issues (had 3 today) so I should be a good test on that lol...

Love your Kernels but I just can not bring myself to use them until they have adb remount support. I do a ton of testing and moving files around and not being able to push something straight to /system/ is a killer. Can you please add this?

U mean adb remount? ok will add that next for sheezy. thought that was working already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
and i was just reporting for you zedo on the los.Not making a deal out of it but since you asked for reports on it i posted :) but i have had 1-2 a day so who knows the reason.

thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
do you get good signal? Where do u live? You get 4g and 3g? Just helps me more to ask.

Btw, 1-2 is not bad, 10 or more is bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
I did not say it was bad :) i have had issues where i was on the road and everytime i made a call in dropped in 1 sec till i rebooted but this was on v4.Anyway most of them have been in my home since i spend most of my time here.This one happened just as i was making a call.

I have a airave in my home and have full bars.BUT BUT just to tell you.I rebooted my modem in house which means the airave was off due to the airave connected to it.When i went to call my son on my phone with the airave off the call would not go out.I mean no matter what it was not making the call.I had no bars at all.I did not have LOS at that time just very little signal.

So to answer another question this did not help reception at all.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
Damn, just had my second LOS (circle-slash) on this one.

Also my battery drained pretty quickly while I was asleep. It started at about 92%, was down to 52% after 5 hours. Not sure how much of that time was with LOS though. When I rebooted it had jumped all the way down to 21% too. Weird...

Thanks for your efforts Z.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Left it unplugged all night. Started at 99%, at 95% over 8 hrs later. Took some screen shots at 94%. WiFi on and connected, bluetooth on as well. No LoS (it's not the kernel, it's the radio).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Seeing you on this thread fills me with glee :D

Please tell me you'll be bringing us some rom goodness for this incredible device before I return it.

Thanks.

On a side note, I need help with something: I saw an earlier post on the subject and now I'm suspecting it IS an LOS issue. When I first purchased the phone (before rooting), when going to bed, I'd turn off wifi, gps, syncing, and 3g data (everything basically). I used to do this on my old htc's to save battery overnite. Before rooting, when I did this, my battery would drop 2-3% overnite. It was beautiful. After rooting and flashing v3, the process still worked perfectly. When I took the plunge and flashed a rom (based on bubby's kernel) though, I tried the same thing and lost 60% of my battery overnite. I did NOT see the circle with the line through it in the morning however (when I turned mobile data back on). Since I'm a "good boy," I had made a backup before I flashed the rom, so I simply restored. Problem fixed, right? WRONG! Now its been happening the last 2-3 nights. Its driving my nuts. I'm tempted to restore to factory settings and wait until all these bugs get ironed out. Anyone else having issues like this and can elucidate me on what the hell is going on? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I too believe it might be caused by the radio than the kernel itself but only time will tell, I can say this tho, Sprint's services have been ****ty to say the least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clayginn:
This LOS seems more like a radio issue. I am getting ready to put this on and will let you know.

Just fyi

Night before went to bed with 82% woke up with 64%. Last night went to bed with 54% (10pm) woke around 3 and saw the LOS but just put the phone down. Woke up 6am. Phone dead. This whole LOS just smells like a radio issue.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Telion007:
I guess it is hit and miss I have had it for three days and no los.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
My Observations after 1 Day

Alright ran it through it's paces today. Had 1 LOS today (after 3 or 4 yday on another kernel), and I noticed when it occurred it was in a 0-1 bar signal area. It lost the signal and would not kick back on (got that little circle of death)... Airplane mode wouldn't work to turn it back on... rebooted, moved to a stronger signal area and no problems since... SO, I do remember yday that my 3 or 4 LOS's were in the same situations where I was deep in a building or a bad coverage area (0-1 Bars). SO I'm a themer and have no clue, but whatever kicks the signal on or off is not offing and oning (to put it in simple terms) correctly. Whats even MORE fustrating is I notice some get NO los at all. Oh well, just my 2 cents... BTW the kernel is smooth and I couldn't find any other problems with it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ackattacker:
I've been on this kernal for 24 hours and no signal issues. This is a dramatic change from 4.1beta where I had many per day.

That doesn't mean it's immune to it, there may be another radio issue but clearly for me this is an improvement over the overclock kernels.

Also battery life is excellent I'm at 20 hours since charging with moderate use (texting, scrabble playing, some web browsing, and 15 minutes of talking) and sitting at 42% battery left.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asafegous:

are you using any overclock app? or just the kernel by itself?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
THIS +10000. This seems to be the issue with these custom kernels. Shuts off, not able to properly turn back on. I am on 100% stock, haven't rooted yet, have seen the LOS ghostbusters sign, but it always automatically comes back. This smells like the issue devs need to address to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I've said it before 100 times and I will continue to say it. The LOS issue is an issue that affects both stock and non-stock devices. It is NOT a kernel issue, although there seems to be evidence that devices running non-stock kernels experience LOS bug more than devices running stock kernels. Individual experiences are not definitive, and there are enough people who have provided anecdotal evidence of LOS on both stock and non-stock kernel devices that it is obvious there is nothing the devs can do about it until Samsung releases an updated kernel or modem. Personally, I believe it is a modem issue that is exacerbated by the modem drivers in the source code provided by Samsung, so that any kernel compiled using that source code may experience LOS more often than a device running the stock EG30 kernel. So please please please stop cluttering these threads with LOS stories and requests for the devs to quash it. There is nothing they can do at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JeffR714:
Runs fine with Starburst rom video okay on 1080p just need to test Google Talk w/ VC no LOS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
cant overclock this kernel i thought? (this build)

this is taken from op:

"So I tried my best to trip the bloat-code out and try to keep it as stock as possible (no overclock), perhaps some of you can test this out for me."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
+1. I went back to stock until samsung /sprint fixes the issue. Devs are doing a great job. Don't blame them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
No one is saying it is the Dev's fault, it has to be when you switch kernels. I have done extensive testing on stock and non-stock kernels, and have NOT had an LOS on STOCK. Not one.

I have used all of Zedomax's kernels, and every single one has given me LOS somewhere. V4 seemed to be working awesome for me, but when I got to the 4th day, I experienced my first one. So I did a simple reboot, until it happened every single half hour.

Now, when I don't have a problem for days (week) on stock, then I get LOS within minutes of v1, then hours with v2, then a day with v3, then 4 days with v4, I think there is a strong possibility it is a kernel related issue.

Don't bash me, I am just stating what I have done and learned.

We need a stock ROM with CWM, Stock kernel, and root.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I'm not bashing you. I'm bashing your logic. Your individual experience is NOT representative of the entire population of users. How difficult is that to understand? For every person like you there are many others who have also had the issue on fully stock setups, including me. And if you want a stock rom with root and cwm, then make it yourself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Amen to that ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmarks9156:
I tried the stock kernel and had LOS after 6 hours of use. I have had a few friends state that they are not rooted and have the LOS issue as well just not a frequent as when I was on v1 or v2. Keep up the great work Max!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
so is this "v5" of the other thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
LOS is to sporadic from reading the forums members post. Its 100% a radio issue but the kernel used effects the signal somehow. No matter if its stock or not, depending on the area that you stay in and the tower that your radio uses causes LOS. Its not a kernel issue at all. Yes some are reporting that they have to use stock Kernel, others using another version, etc.......So the Kernel, mods, ROM's is affecting the radio in different ways to help recreate LOS more frequently but the radio by factory default is the problem. By the way i am in Dallas TX and my 3g download is running at 30kbps right now... Sprint and Samsung are going to have to fix the Radio. I can pick of any phone right now and get 1000 percent better signal than the Sprint SG2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
This is an internet forum where the members seem to know what they're talking about. People are to come here to complain. People also come here to root and flash custom ROMs. Putting 2 and 2 together in a mind without empirical data yields the results we've seen. I'm 100% sure that the issue is happening to more stock phones than rooted phones. If we assume that only those who root, or are interested in rooting (and/or custom ROMs) come here, and some have had LoS on stock, then there must be MANY more who've had the issue, but haven't reported it due to not being a member here. We can also safely assume that there are significantly more people who are not members here and own the E4GT.

I've had the issue on stock. I've also had the issue on root. Just had the issue last night, after ~72 hours on this kernel. I didn't make it that long on stock.
