Hello

Hello,

Does anyone knows when ICS will be official for P7300 ? I've been waiting for a long time, any other tablets got the update, only Samsung not. Any rumours? Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Deciduous Sprue:
Lol....

I don't think it's been a "long time" since the first official ICS release for a tablet!

Only a couple of months. :)

From what I've read (Samsung leaks, etc), ICS release is scheduled for May for the 10.1, and June for the 8.9.

So... another "long time" to wait, I'm afraid! ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bateluer:
Curious why they are a month apart. The Tegra 2/WiFi versions of each are nearly identical.

Finaly I did it!! please help me.

Dear all,

Please help me. Finaly I succeded to brick my tab P7300.

Firs I've rooted it. I instaled Rom manager and I tryed to intall motley_v2d_3G.zip from Rom manager. And that's it!

I can enter in download or recovery presin power snd vol+, but nothing is happening from this point. And the worse part is that my tablet can not be sen by my PC.I've instaled SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe, I have odin 1.85 and my orginal ROM zip: P7300XWKI3_P7300OXXKI4_ROM.zip

In downloading mode, pressing vol- i have the immage of warning window with option of volup continue and vol down cancel.

Pressing continue nothing happends.

have I bricked it for good?

Thank you very much for your future help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Rom manager doesn't support the gt8.9. You are not the first one who tried to use it and bricked their tablet in the process. As far as i know they all could fix the problem, try a search in development forum.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aflaviur:
Dear poisike, thanks a lot for you helpful information, I did't knew that Rom manager it is not compatible with P7300, and they are not announcing this.

I want to tell you that I'm a fortunate man, I succeded to connect my tablet with PC via odin, and I solved the problem. I presume that I'll never try to overclock my CPU again.

Best regards to all

Ok im going to ask again before i trade this in for 7.7

Hello folks, first post.

Now i know this has been asked a dozen times before, but what im really trying to guage is the probability of this actually happening. I bought this tab a couple of days ago and im loving it. Its not yet been rooted but its just what ive been looking for. Which brings me on to the problem (for myself), the lack of phone capability.

Due to some bad research on my part i was under the impression that this tablet did have some phone/call capabilities, either out of the box or after some tweaking. After trawling through numerous posts, it seems that unlocking the phone in this bad boy is a loooong way off, if ever.

Because of this i may be forced to trade this in for the 7.7 which im worried may seem small after getting used to this.

I know the 'why do you want to use it as a phone question' is going to crop up! Firstly im not a big phone user but i would like to keep my number & emailing and texting on this bad boyis a breath of fresh air as im am cack handed, a little bluetooth headset or headphones linked up to this and id be flying. Furthermore i will always have this with me except when i go on this piss so i can buy a cheap phone from tescos for that!

Anyway developers and fellow tabsters, sorry again for bringing up this question but if there is anything on the horizon then it would be great to hear it

Thanks in advance

Don't give up so fast. Just install CWM recovery and use that for flashing kernels and roms.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aflaviur:
maybe

Maybe I'll try again after fgaining more experience and knowledge.

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jhhoffma:
ROM Manager will work with the Galaxy Tab 8.9, you just have to load Clockworkmod Recovery separately with Odin (takes like 2 minutes, it's easy). Problem is that ROMManager won't recognize the CWM version, unless you use RM to install it.

What I did was let ROM Manager install the CWM version for the 10.1 tab (4.0-something) and then right afterward use ODIN to flash the correct version of CWM.

After that ROM manager should work just fine. Though using CWM itself isn't that hard either, just more steps to do the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I wouldn't suggest using ROM Manager in this tablet at all. It is not needed (bloat!) and is very risky. Just stick to the CWM Recovery, it's the safest route for flashing in this tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gpo1956:
I have to agree.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] combat2k:
Still the same problem. I've re-updated the CMRecovery to 5.5.0.4 and still the same error message.

On other websites the could not give me any answer..so i hope you guys can help me. 1 person said something about odin..but i can't find it how to use this..

Further info: i have no backup stock rom.. and i can't find a stock rom for the netherlands..

Please guys..hope u can help me....

Check the General guide right here in the General section. There's how-tos and more for your situation, including links and tools.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] HyJackedCarbon:
yep

It is a 1.2ghz CPU and it does have 1gb of on board ram. Samsung clocked the cpu to 1ghz to extend battery life and your losing 256 mob of ram to the video card. :-) you can run a custom kernel and or rom and oc your CPU. Anything of 1.4 isn't super stable, at least hasn't been for me. Hope this helps

Hello everyone I have a problem with multi touch in my galaxy tab 8.9

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
worth it?

Hey All, Need opinions.

with all the new tablets coming out, is the 8.9 still worth it? Best buy has a refurbishment one with the keyboard, dock, and case for $380.00. What do you guys think? My wife hogs the 7.0 plus tab so I need one for me but don't want to spend alot of money. I would most like sell the keyboard. :confused:

Set me straight.....

Hey all, new to the site but not to the game. I'm hoping not to upset anyone by asking these noob questions, but it's early, and I'm only on my first pot of coffee. I own a wifi only US spec 8.9. Just rooted it, compared to IOS jailbreak it seemed way too easy. I used methods of unlocking here on xda and am curious about a few things. I've googled, installed the " top tweaks" superuser, some rom managers and root doctors, whateve, but what can I really do to this thing that sets it above the rest? I can't seem to find CWM except in an old post noted as a fix. From reading It looks like this is needed to flash ROMs. Second, I want ICS on my tab bad, but from the info I don't see a fully functional custom rom yet, just old posts on ones with limited features. I'm down to donate or contribute to XDA if you guys can school me real quick. My goal is a nice overclock, a fully functional custom rom I can show off, but with ICS just around the corner for us with 8.9's I just don't know what direction to go. I've googled for hours but I can't seem to find what I want for this Galaxy Tab. Thanks for a great site and any info you guys can toss me.

So, I read the guide section, duh......so let me change my question's.

I downloaded the zip at the end of the post. Thing is I've already installed some Odin Multi Downloader 4. something.....is this the same thing? Can't I just drop the zip in my sd via usb without odin and open in stock recovery? Currently I have ROM Toolbox pro....6 bucks I think I may of wasted, SetCPU probably a waste also, Android Terminal Emulator, and Titanium Back up. I think I'm moving too fast just downloading stuff I don't really need. Guess I'm going to give this a go and try to install CWM recovery per the guide. Again my goal is to overclock, looks like ICS will roll out in a few so i'll wait. Can someone please enlighten me? I'm going nuts here. Is this process like iOS? What i mean is can you lose root access the same way you lose a jailbreak when new firmware is released and downloaded?

Forgive me, my mind is ruined by countless hours in iOS.

Really surprised and a tad dissapointed I did not get one reply.....but I must thank you for not helping and allowing me to get it squared away myself. Which I have done. Rooted, CWM installed and system backed up. Decided not to flash ICS yet though. Still would like advice on overclock.

Kill this thread/post.....I figured it all out.....overclocked at 1.5 as of today....runs great.

I've seen in another thread somewhere that the 3G 8.9 is able to make and receive regular GSM phone calls. Can anyone who has the 3G version confirm/deny this?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] winst:
I dont think so, just like my sold gtab 10.1, there is no Phone application. (Yes, I sold the 10.1 3g and buy the 8.9 3g once it's avalaible in HK)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I do hope more people pick up this tab and ask for a dedicated Galaxy Tab 8.9 forum here. I've been toying with this tab for a while: rooting, removing junk stuff, updating Hosts file using Adfree, eliminating bootanimation and shutdown animation so it boots/shutdown faster (and yeah, it shutdowns in ~2 secs for me). I wonder how this thing would fly once development picks up and maybe ICS arrives for this tab :D.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] hoss_n2:
i think it is easy to port the 8.9 rom to the 10.1 , they nearly have same hardware
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aiyakim:
Still no sound of any Roms n new forum for 8.9
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Well, i just got my 8.9" tab yesterday (YAY!!!) Also, I've seen the video that shows the calling feature in the demo before, so that got me looking. When having a browse through the system with root explorer, it does appear that there is some kind of dialer in there, but other than that, it doesn't show up anywhere else, and I haven't figured out how to actually use it. Additionally, when I tried calling my GSM number, all I got was a message saying that the subscriber wasn't accepting phone calls right now. Nothing rang. It just went straight to that message.

In any case, I never really had any expectations of using my Tab as a GSM phone anyway, so I'm not really disappointed. If I need to make any calls with my Tab, I have lots of other options anyway (Skype, gTalk, GroveIP, etc.).

Who knows? Maybe once community development for this one picks up, someone will find a way to unlock the GSM calling abilities. The hardware has always technically been capable of it after all.

P.S. It appears as though there is only 768mb of available RAM instead of 1gb. At least that's what quadrent thinks... Still a great device though!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] hoss_n2:
so does it still uses nvidia tegra 2 processor or what ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Yeah, seems to be. Tegra clocked at 1ghz. Was kinda hoping it would be the Exynos, but oh well. Now that I have a Tegra device and an exynos device, I can really see just how much of a beast Samsung's own SoC really is!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aabritt:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] johnd603:
Absolutely agree.... I have a Xoom (lte 4g upgraded), a nook color (hacked and whacked with CM7), iPad 2, Samsung tab 7 (sprint) - and now a Samsung tab 8.9". Of all, this tab is right on. I love my 8.9" tab, as it's better than all the rest :-)

If we could get a way to restore, I'd be hacking this and playing with the kernals to OC this puppy. But, even with root and Netflix, it kicks butt....

There should be a was to strip out some of the bloat (as we can root) - BUT - until we can re-flash the factory image, I've been reluctant to play too much with the TW UI components...

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spiff72:
I would like an opinion on this as well. They have the same bundle again today, but for $300. I just ordered, and would like to know if this is a decent deal. The accessories aren't all that great - would rather have bluetooth KB, and it would be even better if the dock and KB dock came with an additional charger (like the HP Touchpad touchstone charger did)!

EDIT: Way to go Best Buy - you are bundling an SD card reader with a tablet that DOESN'T HAVE AN SD CARD SLOT. I just bought the bundle with the assumption that it had the SD card slot and I could expand the storage with a card like this. Well - I guess I can return it if I am not happy!

EDIT2: Just figured out that the reader included plugs into the tablet and allows reading of the SD card. I guess this makes sense, but still confusing! (I thought it was a typical USB reader for a PC/Mac...

Help with _motley kernel's screen issue

I need help/advice. Since I don't have the mandatory minimum 10 posts, I can't post this question directly to the thread.

I recently installed the _motley kernel v2d (7310 WiFi) motley_v2d.zip MD5 640af1d30eff11124f17b7fcb4c6201e

to my rooted tab. Since then it "stutters" and keeps flipping left to right, left to right when it starts up and also when I reboot into CWM recovery. I have tried different OV and UV settings without help. I would like to fix this since I originally installed the kernel primarily to take advantage of the USB charging but not at the cost of the screen constantly flipping.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

If any can recommend a link to a nonmodified stock kernal for download which can be executed via ODIN, that would be great also? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Right in motley's kernel thread, he urges people to...well, read instruction #4:

...and be sure to tap the Set On Boot so it sticks even after a restart.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spunky168:
Thanks Nirogu325. But unfortunately, no go. I followed the original instructions to the tee. The only difference is I am using No-frills CPU instead of SetCPU to adjust my settings. My governor is interactive, my I/O scheduler is noop. I have tried difference frequency settings from 1 to 1.6 GHz.

The screen still flickers incessantly. Even when I boot into CWM recovery, it flickers so much that I can't even see or select the appropriate CWM function.

Any other advice or recommendations?? Thanks in advance.

Also if anyone can post the OEM Samsung kernal that can be installed via ODIN, that would be great since I can't even access my backup with screen flickering so incessantly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spiff72:
Just my opinion, but if you are flickering in CWM recovery, it may be a hardware issue. (Is the kernel used in CWM?)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
If the screen is also flickering INSIDE the CWM Recovery then I am pretty sure it could be a hardware problem in your hands. Do ODIN your tablet with firmware LA3 for example, and see if it still flickers with a Samsung-made ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

No, the Recovery section is independent of the OS and kernel. Although some kernels -not in our case- do install a modified CWM Recovery with some additional functions the kernel uses inside the OS. For example, a setting which resets overclocking/undervolting settings in case of a bootloop.

Dev question, but new user

This really should go in this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435868)post, but I'm a new member so can't post there.

I love the rom--its introduced me to how fast this device can move-but now a few of the Samsung keyboard dock's specialized keys don't work. eg Home, All apps, brightness.

Anyone know how to fix or should I just live with it? Much like the camera, it is a small price to pay.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spiff72:
I can't answer your question, but this is interesting to me. I bought the refurb bundle from BB last week, and I haven't even opened the keyboard dock yet! It didn't occur to me that there were special keys that may have depended on something built into the stock Honeycomb ROM. This sounds like something that we need to wait for Samsung to release the official ICS update (like the lack of camera functionality). I have to assume that if this is happening to you using the CM9 ROM, it is also going to be happening with the AOKP ROM that I am using.

I wonder if anyone know whether the Overcome (Honeycomb) ROM includes support for the keyboard dock?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spunky168:
Problem solved and thank you

First off, big thank you to Nirogu and Spiff.

I reinstalled the most recent update from Samsung (GT-P7310_XAR_1_20120117184343) via ODIN which reinstalled the original kernal. This fixed the flickering problem with _motely's kernel.

Best part of reinstalling the update is I didn't have to reinstall any of my apps.

One thing that did occur however is that I lost my root which was easily fixed by booting into recovery and install the "root.zip" file easily found on this forum and of course the subsequent removal of crapwares.

Now running smooth like it did before I installed _motely's kernel.

One other thing, I did have to reinstall CWM recovery after reinstalling the most recent Samsung update.

I am not sure what caused the flickering but I am certain it was not a hardware issue or due to OC or UC. Will continue to investigate.

So hopefully this is a solution for anyone experiencing similar issue.

Best part about rooting and trying different ROMs, kernels, etc. is solving the problem that one runs into sometimes.

Also, while messing with this, I learned how to enable USB charging without necessarily having to change kernel using dpakrr's usb charging script method.

Thanks again to all. Thought I got this down after mastering my EVO 4G but always more to learn when it comes to rooting, ROMming, and Kerneling.

How do I actually get files onto my tab? When plugged in via usb I get "MTP connection" but no option for mass storage, I tried to transfer a .zip via kies but it didn't say if it worked or failed and I can't find it on the tab.

I've had to e-mail myself the 200kb root zip, but what about 150mb ROMS? how do I transfer them across?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] spunky168:
Tamen, after you connect the tab to your PC and open up Samsung Kies on your desktop, under "Basic information", you should see a clickable button "View in Explorer". Click on the button and your tablet will open up like any other folder on your PC and you can drag and drop any file from your desktop and onto the tablet. Included a screenshot for you. Hope this helps.
