[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
To be honest, I´m currently very, very frustrated with it. It has the perfect attributes, but at this point I´m tearing my hair off with the current situation I´m having. The battery calibration didn´t seem to work as it should and even though it´s better with flashing Tracid´s ICS, I´m currently running 3570 mV voltage with 9% left which I think is still a bit awkward, I should expect it having at least 10% more of battery still. (My stats tell me the complete discharge point is as low as 3225 mV, so something is definitely wrong)

I can´t flash and try CM10 before someone tells me if it´s safe to flash it or not, and I´m just refreshing the page like mad in order someone telling me the answer during the weekend as it´s my only spare time now. When I´ve finally flashed that, I need to make sure the battery is calibrated as it should and if it´s not, I´ll probably restore stock Rom, unroot and take it to warranty repair as I´m starting to believe the battery might be FUBAR after all.

All in all, the tab is awesome, but a pain-in-the-a** to make work as it should, at least for me. And the fact that Samsung is holding the drivers and other stuff without releasing them out (not even speaking about the "promised" ICS update, heh) is really getting into my nerves. It took me over 3 months to get working CM9 to this and when I finally got it and tweaked everything, the kernel destroyed my battery calibration which seems to be gone for good. At least now it feels like it. So while I feel right now I should take the tab and throw it as far as I could, it hasn´t got anything to do with the quality- just my miserable luck. I wish I could understand all this better in order to help myself and the others in the process, so I´m sticking with this one and learning so one day I might be able to help the others like I´ve been helped.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] ValentineCrow:
That sounds frustrating indeed! But was is the problem with flashing then, because Henu mentioned something about that as well? Why can't you just wipe and flash? And what is this battery calibration bug; I've read about that elsewhere too..

Oops, I misread.. thought your last post was from somebody else (:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gilroy_lh:
I had the same concerns before I flashed CM10. But after reading the replies to the post, I realized that it is CWM 6. 0. 1.2 that causes the brick. So I used 6.0.0.8 to flash cm10 over stock ICS and everything works well so far. No battery drain problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
I suppose you used 6.0.1.0 and not 6.0.0.8? Afaik, it was distributed as 6.0.0.8 even though it actually states 6.0.1.0, which should be safe either way. You did factory reset/ wipe/ dalvik wipe/ etc, I guess? As in "the usual" with no exceptions?

One thing, too: May I ask how much your battery is consuming now per hour or how much hours are you getting in general in CM10? I´m still a bit sceptical as I have battery probems still with that stock ICS. (Read this post I wrote if you´re interested to know more details)

I´d like to know what to expect so I could compare it to the numbers I will later get, as I´m starting to think my battery chip is damaged and not necessarily the kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gilroy_lh:
I used 6.0.0.8 but from what I read 6.0.1.0 and 6.0.0.8 are the same. I did factory reset, wipe, dalvik wipe and format system (I think format system alone is enough but I did all anyway. Also make sure you copy CM10 ROM to tab before you format system). Then I flashed CM10 and Gapps.

I tested battery yesterday. I got 9% drain watching video in an hour and 9%-10% browsing internet in an hour. So overall I believe I can get around 11 hours. I read your post, it seems like your tab is defective. 5.5 hours is definitely wrong. I got around 11 hours as well in stock ICS.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
You know what, this definitely settles it. I´m flashing the retail version via Odin as soon as I´ve charged that tab and visit the store´s warranty section tomorrow where I bought it. I didn´t even get those numbers with stock 3.2 nor with stripped CM9 in the first days it worked flawlessly for me which definitely indicates there´s something more screwed since the beginning than just the broken kernel of ICS.

Thank you, sir.

I have a question.

I got my tab from service after 6.0.1.2 CWM hardbrick - and now it has open pad lock icon on start screen (where Samsung logo shines, when powering up)

I assume, it means something and I just can't find info on that.

Rooting troubles

I am having a dilemma, and google is not forthcoming with relevent results, nor was searching the threads here.

So here is my issue, I have updated my sgh-i957r lte to the stock 4.0.4 ics, and cannot find a plausable way to root.

All of the guides on flashing I have found are either for honeycomb, or a leaked version that is not compatable.

The adb guides I have found are also for the previously leaked versons of ics or honeycomb.

So I suppose my question is, how would I go about rooting this update?

I am a fairly new android user, and this has me stumped.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
I set up from scratch every time....unless its a dirty flash ( just wiping caches in cwm ) over of the same rom based on the same firmware version, that's when apps and data is saved and everything just comes on board, if you're moving back n forth between ROMs based on different firmware, ex. 3.2 to 4.0.4 to 4.1 to 4.2 you almost always need to start from scratch because the backups won't work, some do, but most will not. Also, its best to use your launchers back up feature, as in nova, so you dont have to worry about setting up widgets and how it looked. When you're on a custom build, and an update is posted, and its only a few small things, you can just flash over your existing rom and be done. Anytime a kernel is changed, I always do a clean wipe in cwm...... my advice is to go back to HC, or ICS stock via Odin, root, flash the cwm in the link I will provide and go right into CM10 from there.

P7310 Usb Not working anymore after Update.

Hi.

I am new to this forum and I hope someone can help. I updated my Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 to CyanogenMod 10. Everything seemed to go well but on the reboot we had an error mentioning Trebuchet. Since the tab rebooted it will no longer connect to my W7 64 PC. I had Kies installed prior to the upgrade and it worked then. I have tried removing - rebooting and re-installing Kies (Didn't work) Looked through the forum for other examples and haven't been able to find a solution. One posting mentioned twlauncher as the defualt app but I can't find that app on my tab. In fact we seem to be short of a few apps such as File Manager/Myfiles? Did I miss something? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Lots..... The trebuchet stuff is known, or I've seen it posted, I recommend Nova launcher in the App Store. Set it as default, or go choose another. For your device recognition problems, I've seen that too. I posted a picture on the dev forum of a setting in storage that enables USB. Might be it, might be more. But since we have the same device, and mine is absolutely perfect, I recommend starting over with clean completes wipes. I'll link you to the best post for this tablet in a bit.

Edit: no file manager comes with this build, you need one from the store also. I recommend RomToolBox pro.... Worth every penny.

That setting is in storage, upper top right three dot menu

Might be this is needed for your PC also

PLEASE HELP: Unlocked tab (Possibly Bricked)

Hi there,

I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 - that was apparently unlocked. I honestly know little to nothing about this. I have been strenuously looking through forums and Google to identify my problem: however, I am at no conclusion.

After I set up the tablet, I went through and personalized it, and then an update seemed to be available. I started the download process, and selected the install option. Upon reboot, I was brought to a menu reading "CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4". At first, I took no notice to this and I thought it was normal - until I become lost in this menu sequence unable to actually get to the "home" screen on the tablet itself.

If someone could please help me restore this tablet to a usable state, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,

Paul

Root my 8.9 3G (UK Version)

HI Guys,

I've read the following advice on a different section of the GT 8.9 forum, but have 2 questions. First, should I download and use the Root file provided at the end of the post? The file is called: Root_Gtab-8.9.zip I am presuming so.

Second, I have installed and backed up my GT 8.9 using the Samsung Kies software - would this take care of the 1st instruciton below? I have looked on Samsung UK site, but cannot download a UK driver for my tablet - I presume it is only available OTA. Looking at the link below, these root instructions are for US tab owners. Any further advice for a UK owner trying to root his new 8.9?

Please find bellow an easy way to root the new Galaxy Tab 8.9:

1. Download and install the USB drivers from here:

samsung.com/us/support/do...GT-P7310MAAXAR[/url]

2. Transfer the attached file root.zip to the galaxy tab 8.9, this can be done in different way as follow:

* If you send an email to an actual email account on your galaxy tab with the attached file, just open the email on your galaxy tab 8.9 and saved the attached file under the SDCARD

* Using Samsung Kies tranfer the attached file to the Galaxy tab 8.9 under SDCARD

* Or the last way to do it using ADB as follow: adb push root.zip /sdcard/root.zip

3. Turn off the Galaxy Tab 8.9

4. Turn on holding Volume Down button (right side one) + power button for 15 sec, until two icons show up on the scree

5. Release buttons and press once Volume Down button (right side one) to select "Recovery Mode" is the little box icon

6. Now Select "Recovery Mode" pressing once Volume Up button (left side one)

7. Wait until "Recovery Mode" screen show up

8. Use Vol down or Vol up to select apply .zip from sdcard and press power button to select the option

9. Look for the file root.zip under the SDCARD and select it with power button

10. Apply root.zip

11. and then Reboot

12. Install SuperUSer from the market and DONE!

Root my 8.9 3G (UK Version) - solved

Update:- OK - I kinda solved it....more investigation on the thread brought up the subsequent posting, which, together with simply transferring the Root_Gtab-8.9.zip file onto my Galaxy using Windows transfer, seems to have done the trick:- (credit to Crunch140 for posting the correct method below to enter recovery mode on the GTab 8.9) However, Superuser doesn't seem to be able to gain root access (I have selected "Allow" under Preferences>Security>Automatic response). Also tried installing "Root App Delete" & "Root Checker" and nether seem to work. My tor client "Orbot" seems to think teh tab is rooted though.

Is it possible it is only partly rooted? I was forced to save the root zip file under the Root menu alongside DCIM, Music, Android folders etc - but could still select the Root zip in recovery mode. Not sure if this made a difference.

Any pointers?

This works for me:

-hold it in landscape mode with power button at upper left

-push and hold the power button for a few seconds, let go...

-As soon as you see the Galaxy Tablet 10.1 wording on the screen, press and hold the left half of the volume rocker button. As long as you do this before you get to the "SAMSUNG" word screen you should soon see the "Android with envelope" and "Android downloading" icons.

-Hit that left volume rocker to select the "Android with envelope" icon, then hit the right volume rocker (which acts as an 'enter' key)... Now you should be in the Recovery Mode boot screen.

-Once you get into the Recovery Boot Screen, the volume rockers act as error up and down... the Power key is the 'enter' key. Apply the update from SDCard, and reboot.

Took a few tries, but eventually got it.

I used the following file (won't let me post links, sorry)

h t t p : / / l t s .c r / b q f

Worked like a champ!

to CWM recover or not...

So - having tried installing two separate root zip folders via the standard recovery mode, one of which should have been flashed/installed in CWM recovery...I have probably confused the root process. I have tried backing up to an old back up via KIES, and also a regular factory reset, but neither seem to get me back to square one (i.e the Superuser app is still installed in both cases).... any ideas gratefully received!

Ive been playing around with the build.prop particularly with the lcd density. On my earlier attempts, i realized that setting the dpi to 180 is the goldilocks region between tablet and phablet ui for our 8.9. The 213 dpi copy of nexus7 wasnt really cutting it; the resolution was too big and the 180dpi had the same quality as the 160 except its all phablet like. Afterwards i learned about the dpi issue with the playstore. Tegra games i purchased wouldn't display on my list. So i reverted back to 160dpi and cleared my playstore cache to reset it back.

I tried playing with the dpi again so i restored the 180dpi copy of my build prop. After the reboot the tablet went straight to the desktop when previously it would ask for my sim card pin and pattern password. Also Google now wouldn't work back to 180dpi. I dont know what i did wrong but it just wouldn't work again. Any tips to make this work again?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] smehks:
My apps were intact when i did it like this, since you dont reset to factory settings but just clear the cache. But i can recommend you to always do a backup just in case!! =)

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

This is an annoying bug that noone seems to remove :S you have to edit a configfile in the zip-file. The esiest way is to just extract the zip-file to a new folder then:

open META-INF\com\google\android and there should be a file named: updater-script, open that file with Notepad++ and remove the " assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p5" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p5" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P7300" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P7300"); " and save.

This is something i have done on all cm9-10 releases, I DON´T recommend you to change in the zip file since the things i remove probably have som function to it, but this was the only way i found out that worked and never had any problems by doing so.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

I had overcome´s last version and just copied the zip of the cm9 and now cm10 and installed it from the cwm bootmenu, no problems at all, update cwm recovery though, cm intends to stuck at the first 2 sentences if you don´t have the latest version, not any problem since it only says install failed and the tab works as usual so you can try if you dont want to update cwm ... =)

Doesn´t seem like it, there is the note 10.1 and the tab 2 that is 7" and 10.1" :S too bad in my opinion since the 7" is too small and the 10.1 is too clumsy hehe the 8.9" is the perfect size :P

Play store download issues

I've searched and can't find an answer so hope someone can help.

Recently Play store updated to 3.10.9 and following this I have had download issues. When installing apps it gets stuck on "downloading"

Have tried all the old solutions to clear data etc etc that worked on a previous version. Nothing worked.

Have now reflashed to latest version of KK's CM10 (was running his 30-10-2012 version) hoping that this might work. Sadly no and now I am worse off as cannot download Titanium backup to restore all my apps!
