I never experienced screen flicker with Stock 3.2 LA3 firmware on my 7310 with motley's kernel. I did experience screen flicker while using the Overcome ROM though. The motley kernel did enhance my LA3 experience months ago. It's a great kernel when you change the governor to Interactive.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spunky168:
Nirogu,

Well, I may give the _motley's kernel another go now that everything has been restored. But primarily, I really just wanted it for the USB charging and I have been able to accomplished that with dpakrr's script method and it's working great. I don't OC or UV much anyway. Plus with ICS update coming soon (keeping fingers cross), I may wait a bit.

But once again, thanks for all your sage advice.

Hey have you installed the drivers for your device? I had this problem to until I installed the samsung drivers from their website just type in your device model in the search.

On any of the ICS roms, is anyone else getting the error "system UI has stopped" and then the status bar goes away for a sec and then comes back?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I've been on AOKP B35 since it was released (May 9th) and have not had that force close. I always do a complete wipe and also wipe the /system partition in "mounts and storage" for a cleaner install.

Anyone else having problems with static/noise when playing music / sounds via earphones? I get bad interference / static noises when I have my earphones plugged in and I stop playing music or the song which currently plays has a very quiet part (for example when there' silence in the middle of a track for a few seconds). It's in the background and I can only describe it as quiet clicking / buzzing which goes away a few seconds after you stop a track. I'm guessing it has something to do with the tab turning off the output to the earphones a few seconds after the track is finished. I tried the same earphones on my samsung galaxy s2 and I get nothing like that even on full volume.

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I guess that hissing noise is a feature for the audio chip in this tablet. I've experienced it too, but got used to it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] other_dsc:
I really only noticed it when playing Osmos, which has a lot of ambient music with quiet sections and it can really get on your nerves. Oh well, I'll add it to the 'features' list, together with overall laginess and not being able to play 1080 mkvs;)

Return the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and wait for Nexus Tablet?

Just fishing for opinions here...

I am trying to decide what to do with my Galaxy Tab here.

I am frustrated by the lack of ROM support for this device - it seems that Samsung didn't market it very well, and therefore it wasn't well-adopted. As a result I am considering returning the bundle to Best Buy. I really don't have use for some of the extras that came with it (like the keyboard dock - I haven't even opened it yet)...

Thanks to my Silver RZ membership I have 45 days, which puts me at about 6/22 for my drop dead date. I am intrigued by the idea of a Nexus tablet since I know it will have great developer support, hopefully expandable storage via micro-SD, and a reasonably high res screen (the latest rumor shows a 7" 1200x768 panel). The 7" tablets didn't appeal to me initially because I wanted a higher resolution than the 1024 x 600 you see on most of them.

Google I/O is happening 6/27-6/29 - so an announcement is likely at that time.

Is anyone else out there looking forward to a Nexus Tablet? Could it replace your GTab 8.9?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FloridaPhil:
If you want a tech toy that you can load a ton of different Roms on, then I would say you should get the Google tablet. (I'm not being disparaging by the way)

But a 7 inch screen is still a 7 inch screen, even if the resolution is higher - it just means everything is even smaller.

For me, the 8.9 is the ideal form factor and if Samsung can do a good job with ics then it does everything I want it to. I'm not really very much interested in replacement roms.

I truly hope Google releases a 9 inch Nexus in due course.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spiff72:
I have to agree with your comment about the size of this GTab. I love the form factor of the 8.9. I am not very happy that it is taking so long for Samsung to release the ICS update with full camera support, though. I am running the overcome ROM (Honeycomb-based) and it is decent, but I miss ICS functionality because I also have a Galaxy Nexus from Verizon.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FloridaPhil:
By the way Spiff, give the kyboard dock a try at least. You will be amazed at how much faster you can type and generally navigate around your tablet. Samsung did a really good job with it. For the most part I can now leave my laptop at home when I travel.

WiFi ROM on a 3G Tab

Hi everyone, just got a 3G 8.9 galaxy tab (P7300) for cheap and was wondering if I can install a WiFi ROM (P7310) to it without loosing anything but 3G connectivity?

I won't be using 3G for the forseeable future, and want to test some P7310 only ROMS.

Thanks!

Screwed Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE

I could use some help.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy 8.9 4G LTE (Android 3.2) from Korea. The carrier is Olleh. Product Name: SHV-E140K.

To make a long story short, I tried rooting using ODIN. It's remains stuck on the Android Boot Logo.

Tried to undo what I've done but nothing seems to work. I've trried:

CWMR5x_i957_recovery.tar.md5

stock_recovery_7320.tar.md5

stock-kernel-odin-image-for-sgh-i957.tar

I could use some help.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spiff72:
I am not familiar with your LTE device, but part of your problem may be that you are trying to flash the MD5 files (judging by the filenames). The md5 file extension is usually the md5 checksum file.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Stevennnn:
Most of the time you can install a wifi only rom without losing functionality(except for the 3g connectivity of course).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] urayy1:
Yeah. True. But the .tar file doesn't work.

stock-kernel-odin-image-for-sgh-i957.tar

Does anyone have a stock kernel for Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android 3.2 from Olleh?

BTW, the Olleh version has a faster processor and has DMB.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Alright guys, I hate asking questions. But here it goes. I've googled for about an hour, and have yet to find a quick painless method of removing language packs, or extra language files that come pre installed. On the competitors device, you can find these using a file browser, and just delete, reboot and poof, memory gained. It hasn't been that easy for me on this os. Honestly I can't find the files, or strings as they are sometimes called. Posts I trolled dated back to 2009, with no real answers. So, if I missed this info here I apologize. My goal is to lighten this rom up. I know its not needed. But its my addiction lol, gotta get in there and clean her up.....any help or links would be great. I had seen something about a bloatware removal tool. But comments were sketchy. What's your thoughts? And again, sorry if this has been covered and answered.

Edit: Found files in system/ tts and usr also. These look like them. Just dont know if I should ditch them. Also, how about all the pre installed fonts? Can those be tossed?

Hardware Id Missing

Hi Folks,

This is not really a question, but I'd just like to share a personal experience, as I didn't find any info on this subject on xda.

I got a "Hardware Id Missing" error when I plugged in my i957 into an OEM 30pin USB cable, while it (cable) worked fine w/ other Samsung devices & for an exact same model. I freaked thinking 'oh noes', I got a defective one. Only to discover everything was alright when I plugged it into a diff USB port (3.0).

Just adding this tiny bit of knowledge into ur already giant INFOBASE on xda, so owners won't have to return stuff or start contacting Samsung warranty. :D ;)

Will the camera work with a JB rom?

Hello:

8.9 newbie here, picked up a used one running an April build of cyanogenmod 9. ROM is not that great, to be blunt. I'm researching what I need to do to update to a newer build, but with all the talk about JB roms coming out soon, I'm wondering if I should just wait a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
A JB ROM will take 1 month or more because of lack of source (even Google has yet to release it), so go ahead and enjoy ICS in the meantime.

Samsung tab 8.9 touchscreen issue

Hi!

I recently rooted my tablet, I first installed CyanogenMod 9:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435868

And then installed Galaxian-Soup ICS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430723

But both seem to have the same problem, once I disconnect the cable, the touchscreen becomes mostly unresponsive.

By which I mean, the home, and back icons are unusable and the rest of touch-surface is much less responsive then usual.

Until it's plunged in, it's fine, no issues whatsoever.

And if I re-flash stock ROM it works fine plugged in and unplugged.

Any advice?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Did you use the wipe data/factory reset option along with Format /system in Mounts and Storage and Wipe Dalvik Cache (in Advanced) before flashing? I've been with AOKP Build 35 (ooooold build I know) for a long time without any issues. I did just what I suggested before flashing.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] warmthofwinter:
Yes, I did that but still the same, I'll try downloading to ROM you mentioned and see how that works out.

Any other ideas though?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
No lol, I am actually upgrading to AOKP Milestone 6 (slimming down the ROM to suit my tastes) which is the latest. People are reporting good results in that thread. Besides what I suggested, I have no idea since it has never happened to me, and I've gone back and forth from Honeycomb to ICS several times. To me, your device maybe needs some ODIN love to start from scratch. It would be my last resort.

usb stick wont attach aokp mileston 6

Hi I have just update my samsung p7300 to aokp mileston 6. everything works fine except I cant connect any Usn stick or external device through my converter because the galaxy tab wont even recognize that something was attach to it. Is this a common problem with mielston 6 (it used to work on build 38) or I havent checked something?

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] warmthofwinter:
Well I put on AOKP Build 35 same results, what do you mean by "Odin love"? What should I try to flash?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
I think he's suggesting to start completely over from scratch using a PC and Odin instead of CWM recovery. Get your two zips, milestone6 and gapps. I've seen issues with some downloads so get them from goo, I only say this because my flash went fine and that's where I pull mine. Triple wipe everything, factory reset, and flash your two zips using odin. Just curious, what kernel are you using?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] warmthofwinter:

I am running 2.6.36.4_motley_v3+cainm@motleyville#81

How do i delete cwm recovery?

What else should I wipe besides cache and dalvik cache and do a factory reset?

Sorry for noob questions.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Hmm, same kernel here. I've had zero issues. I'd just get fresh down loads of ms6 and gapps from goomanager and wipe everything a few times. Reflash ms6, then gapps, then reboot see if it persists.

Make sure you're flashing the right p5 build for your device also.

Yeah I did that in cwm recovery, I didn't work.

And I couldn't flash it in Odin Because the files were just .zip and not .tar.

Where could I get the Odin flashable version?

Again sorry for noob questions, this is my first time installing custom ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
No worries. I'll look for some links. You shouldn't be having these issues. What CWM version are you using?

Sent from my Beast
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] warmthofwinter:
I'm using CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Hmm, well it looks like you have everything as I do. If you extract the zip file in your PC, you should be able to locate the Md5 file to use with Odin. I'm don't think the method your using is the issue though. Since you can get it to flash, and its more of a performance based issue you're seeing it has me a bit perplexed. Just to do it, I'm curious how the device will run on Build 38. Using goomanager, go download 38 and flash that in cwm. Are you using titanium back up? Or something else like that? For now,if you are, don't restore any if your settings or preferences coming onto a new flash. Just to rule it out.

Sent from my Beast
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] warmthofwinter:

I am going by memory here since I don't own this tablet anymore, but I recall having issues with a certain version of CWM recovery. There are two of them floating around with the same version number (5.5.0.4).

Try grabbing the zip file from this thread:

And flash the CWM recovery from that zip file. It might solve the assert error problems.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Two builds out, one for WiFi only, the other 3g..... its imperative that you flash the right build. What model do you have? There are more than 4 teams that have custom ROMs out for each model so unless you know exactly what you have you should not attempt anything. If you go in settings, about tablet, it will tell you if you're on a 7310 or a 7300 or whatever. Then go straight to CM10 Preview. Best ROM out currently. IMO.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] MrPerson:
Wifi or 3G? I think you mean 4G, or at least that's what mine is. AT&T 4G LTE. And I think I checked yesterday and it was the i957 model, so does that mean I can only use ROMs from there? There isn't much activity though, and I would really like to use CM10, like you said,
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Correct, if you flash a rom from a different model you will incur problems. Like your 4G won't work, or no WiFi.....or infinite boot loops.....

Battery problems

I just bought a refurbished AT&T 4g GT 8.9 and my battery is running down much too fast. It is stock, I haven't installed any apps except for BetterBatteryStats which is showing me that it's not sleeping. It shows the tab as being awake 100%, No Data Connection 99% and No or Unknown Signal 99%. The back of the tab remains warm around the camera even when it has been sitting for hours with the screen off. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? I've been searching in the tab forums and it seems like opening the case and unplugging the battery might work. If there's a way without opening the case, I'd like to try that first. Would rooting and installing cwm to clear the battery stats work?

Thanks,

Jay
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
No, clearing stats will not fix anything. It may actually do the opposite so don't go there right away. I assume you've tried to go thru all the settings to stop it from staying awake? There are a few market WiFi apps you can browse but the warm situation would concern me. Refurbishment is iffy anyways, you never really know the history. If it was me, I'd flash a whole new kernel and rom, see if it persists. If so, its a hardware problem. Just my opinion since no one else is replying. Good luck.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jagwoods:
Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the settings. I've tried with and without a sim card, with wifi off, and in airplane mode, nothing works. I followed your suggestion and flashed a different rom, and so far, there's been no difference. I'll let it sit overnight with all the radios off and see if the battery is dead in the morning. One other thing I forgot to mention in my original post is that the os says that cell standby is using 82 percent of my battery.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
I'm not a 3G / data knowledgable person when it comes to Android. But from seeing issues here you may want to search or inquire about radios. Yours may be on the fritz. But like I said, if you're now on a new rom running a different kernel you can almost rule out software. Sounds like it shouldn't of passed the tests to be sold as refurbished. Leads me to believe the issue was never fully fixed. The over heating can be from excessive CPU usage also, probably related to your cell drain.
