[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgeboy:
I'm a fairly new Galaxy Tab 10.1 user (had it for a few weeks, from the woot deal). I'm not new to android, however. I'm currently running the Task 7 ROM, but this issue seems to be present in all ROMs I've tried so far (including stock). Transition screens (when it zooms to launch an app), panning between home screens, scrolling in emails, etc. are all jerky.

I've seen threads about jerky video playback (movies), but I haven't seen much about this. I have to figure this either isn't happening to anyone else, or it's happening to everyone and people have just accepted it by now. Is there a fix for this? A kernel, or ROM, perhaps? Coming from an iPad, the jerkiness is very apparent, and it is really bothering me.

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
I recommend getting a home screen replacement, like adw ex. That will get you silky smooth homescreen transitions. As far as any other lag, it can probably be fixed by overclocking. Tasks newest rom includes pershoots OC kernel, but make sure you do your homework before delving into overclocking.

At the moment my tab is running at 1.4 GHz and I haven't seen any lag, although you are correct that the device can be pretty jerky without using some of the great mods available here.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgeboy:
I am running ADW EX. It dramatically improved the jerkiness, but it's still there. I mainly notice it when launching apps. The swiping between homescreens is not as noticeable.

I was hoping to not have to OC to fix the issue. In my experience (with phones) it usually leads to some other kind of instability...

Any other ideas? Could it be that the clock speed is dropping too low when nothing on the screen is moving, and doesn't spool back up fast enough?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
Yeah you could play around with different governors, although pershoot's kernels generally have optimal default settings.

As for your choice to not overclock, I can understand why you don't want to, (as I have a fascinate and it's all to easy to cause instability) however pershoot did a ridiculously good job. Paired with setcpu you really only have to move the slider to your desired clock and your good to go, I've never actually had a random reboot or sleep of death with this tablet at 1.4 GHz. If you only did a slight overclock I really don't think you will regret it...

Edit: Also keep in mind that this tablet allows widgets on the homescreen, and by default it uses non uniform icons. For this reason you should not be comparing it to an iPad. At the moment I'm running with the suave hd icon pack (uniform icons) with minimal widgets and it's just as smooth as an iPad. (but also more useful). :D

Also a small tip, turn off wallpaper scrolling in ADW, it makes it seem so much more laggy than it really is.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
It will never be the same as an iOS device. Post 64 of the thread about ICS removing lag is helpful in shedding light on why. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20458845&postcount=64

Either overclock and live with a bit of it or get a plain uncustomizable iPad (talking homescreens).

That being said with pershoots kernel and supercharger/kernelizer/zipalign scripts the performance is noticably improved over stock and more than acceptable for many of us.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
+1 this. If smooth homescreen performance is your #1 priority in a tablet, get an ipad. It's lower resolution and doesn't have widgets so it's sort of a no-brainer why homescreen performance is generally better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgeboy:
Thanks for your input, everyone. It turns out that my issue is almost nonexistent when the screen is oriented in landscape mode. All transitions are smoother, scrolling is smoother, etc. Seems silly, but that's the case. Unfortunately, I use the tablet primarily in portrait mode, for magazine reading and puzzle games.

Dave
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
It's been said that this is a Honeycomb issue (portrait vs landscape scrolling lag) and that ICS should improve upon this. Many such as myself use our tablets primarily in landscape mode so we tend to overlook the issue but those who need to use the device in portrait do have to suffer with it for now.

Hi

Have a friends I9000 on Orange UK running Froyo (I believe?)

Have an issue where the device boots past the splach screen and then to a blank screen and occasionally vibrates, also the device has no access to download mode!! :confused:

Have done quite a bit of searching and attempted a few fixes....mainly the 3 button combo fix, which i cannot get to work as the guides ask you to put the device into USB debug mode before using ADB to reboot to download to allow flashing of new bootloader. Because I dont have access to the phones menu's DOH!

Now have tested the laptop and drivers etc are all ok with SGS running ICS from teamhacksung and ADB works fine can reboot device etc...etc.

My question is can anyone advise or point me to the place that will shed any light on the best way to sort it!?

Or is it best going back to Orange/Samsung then once back fixed then fixing 3 button and getting rid of another awful stock network provided ROM??

Also top marks to the people who decided to disable recovery/download mode on the devices....Kudos to you!! Probably not going to read this but hey that was my rant!!!

Thanks in advance and festive wishes to all!!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
A lot of people seem to say that a USB jig is what you need in this situation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiDanRO:
Almost every tutorial starts with "first try if your 3 button combo works and you can get in downloa mode".

You are sure you can not get in download mode? Power off the phone and you can pull out the battery out to be sure you power off the phone completely. Put the battery back and push Vol Down+Home+Power Button. After 3-5 seconds you can release them. Here you have white screen and vibrations? If here is the problem you have to acquire the USB Jigg for Samsung. It will get your phone in Download Mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlees73:
Thanks

Thanks for both your replies!

Yeah definitely no 3 button combo in this SGS! Apparently some of the later models were shipped with it disabled to prevent users from inadvertently wrecking their phone!!! Hence the 3 button fixes, which are fine while you have a working device!! If you cant enable USB debugging you cant get ADB access!! So looks like a jig is going to be the way forward, or back to Orange!! :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
The galaxy nexus extended battery (2100mah) fits the SGS2 however you won't be able to use the battery door. I have a cover case that still fits without the battery door.

Just wanted to let you guys know that Verizon is having a 50% off deal on the extended battery ($50 retail; $27 total including taxes). Great deal IMO considering that this is from Samsung and not a 3rd party brand.

I just got mine at the Verizon store and charging it now. Will condition a bit and post back with updates and pictures. Feel free to ask any questions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
i thought that deal end already??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
I thought so too so I called before going to local stores. Most stores around my area were sold out however the ones that still had them still honored the 50% discount. Best to call and check before going.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
...what battery door fits this then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
Unfortunately I don't think there is one however if you have a protective case it will fit fine without the battery cover.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lordloki77:
deleted, didn't realize it was to use the nexus battery for the sgsII.. ignore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djxcee:
Well this is for the T989 since the extended battery placement fits.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Still running official stock + root only and had a random reboot. A couple of minutes later I got a text and when to open and it rebooted again.

First one since I updated basically as soon as the ota file was posted.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Even stock isnt perfect. Even the "magical" iPhone crashes.

It's the nature of software to crash when it starts getting very complex. Not to excuse it, as some sort of report will eventually come Google's way, but it's not a big surprise.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
did take the update the normal way or did uflash by custom recovery?
[Nexus S General] wrick01:
To be honest,

Never had an Iphone.

I have a first gen Ipad I bought the first month it came out. Also have and ipod touch.

the thing NEVER EVEN ONCE crashed on me. EVER. I use it 2 hours daily, for over 1.5 years.

I'm just sayin.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
odd my iphone crash atleast twice a week or bad lock ups just saying
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Yeah I know. Not complaining or anything. Just letting it be known that I had one for the first time. I had not seen any reported yet. But then again I stopped reading the issue / complaints thread due to the fact that it was full of nonsense IMHO
[Nexus S General] Bruce-Wayne:
Since you're rooted you can backup and try doing a cache / factory / dalvik wipe and try to restore the official ROM that you can find in the stickies.

Did you wipe when you got your original OTA update?
[Nexus S General] raeef:
I got many random reboots, the phone is not rooted. First I got it after the update during a call so I did a factory reset and since then I haven't got reboots during calls but I get like 2 reboots each day while the phone is idle
[Nexus S General] harman2:
i was looking and serching for a fix my nexus s , i update from Alpha 13 to ICS 4.0.3 and i lost ither root or SU permicion can someone guime to right way i nedd get to CWM and go to my backups and i can do the rest i try update SU buth i not able to get CWM i just get stock recovery i try update SU from app not root acdsse .
[Nexus S General] CaptEvo:
I would think that you need to flash your recovery again. fastboot your recovery .img then flash rom manager after you reboot and you should be ok. do this the same way you did when you originally rooted your phone.
[Nexus S General] sundyx:
You may need to unlock bootloader, root and install. Official stock ROM erased them all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunner86:
I'm preaty bummed that i purchased a nexus thinking i would be getting updates and stuff as they come out, now that i know my phone has a samsung build of ics i am kind of dissapointed since samsung does not have a good track record when it comes to updates, my phone is a bell mobility phone. So has google said anything on why samsung has their own build of ics? If this has been answered already sorry i tried the search and couldn't find anything.

Thanks

If you're disappointed with your yakjuux (Bell/Virgin) version, why not install the official Google yakju version? There are a few threads about how to do that if you decide you want to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunner86:
I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, how hard would it be to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
Download the factory image from the following link, making sure to pick a GSM build: code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

Extract the zip file to where your fastboot is located. There are 3 files you'll need, the bootloader, the radio and the image.

Then use the following fastboot commands to apply the updates, please note the name of the file depends on which one you choose to use.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip

And then you're on the Google build. Hope that helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
What drugs are you on?

For its most recent models, Samsung has had an amazing trackrecord when it comes to updates.

I had my SGS1 for around 18 months. It got 6 official updates, spanning 3 major OS revisions. That's one new update every 3rd month and every major Android-update bar ICS.

Absoutely amazing.

The corresponding US carrier-phone models (Fascinate, Vibrant, Captivate, Shingeroo etc) did not get the updates because the US carriers blocked them.

Morale: Don't buy US carrier's ****ed up and locked down carrier-phones variants of good phones available in an international edition not tied to a carrier interested in locking it down. The international version is a different and better product. Always.

Plus it doesn't have carriers blocking your updates.

Besides, this Galaxy Nexus can be made into a true "Google" phone with a few lines of fastboot. I know, because I went ahead and did that.

It's not really an issue at all.

Edit: To answer your actual question (sorry!), I think so far Google is indeed guilty of not having provided an explanation for this. Seemingly though, they've done stuff like this with different build numbers in the past.

Also Samsung say they have custom builds (or at least custom so far) to allow for required regional customizations with regard to localization and things not in stock ICS yet.

We'll see how it pans out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAG:
That's great for you guys in Europe but the OP is using Bell Mobility, which is in Canada. We received a grand total of TWO updates, 2.2 (not 2.2.x, and not counting the first failed version of 2.2) and 2.3.3. The first update was timely, but created no end of problems for users in the form of fried internal SD cards and corrupted external SD. It was several months before a new build of 2.2 was offered (still not 2.2.x). Gingerbread was offered last August, a stable but still buggy 2.3.3.

Our Galaxy S more closely resembled the "World" phone with some minor changes, designated GT-I9000M. To obtain a true "World" phone for use in Canada would cause numerous hassles, in buying the phone, warranty, and configuring the Modem to work in Canada.

Some users rooted their 9000M phones to use international builds of Android to keep up with Google's updates but again, most had a lot of frustration. Anyone who roots their phone and installs the latest build of something in effect becomes a beta tester. That's fine for some users but some of us wish to remain stock.

It's interesting how each of Samsung's corporate HQ's made different decisions on when to roll out updates, and even withold them entirely. E.g. Scandinavian countries seemed to get updates months ahead of North America, who sometimes didn't get updates at all

trolololol. Noble effort - best way is an emulator and rom. GBADroid Free is in the market, and the pro versions out there if you have money (or google). now you'll need to download the rom. I think I'm going to do this myself now..

**https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmJzbGFwcHMuZ2JjIl0. here's a free emulator from the market - it's prob against forum rules to post a link to a rom :p

And get emulator rom plus, a software that let you download those rom.
[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
EDIT: The update (2.0) is now live in the market, but you might want to BEWARE, read my comments below. These "bugs" I mention have turned out to be "features" of 2.0 so they will break what I listed. Update at your own risk. For me and the way I use Dropbox, the new pretty UI was definitely not worth the lost functionality. Fortunately I came across another Beta version (1296) that brings all the goodness of the UI update without breaking any of the good stuff the old version had! New file below

I just received a Dropbox Pre-release Update that I thought I'd share with the good peeps of XDA.

Some nice updates coming down the pipe, but we get to play with it now. (Make sure you have a backup of your folder and previous DB setup.)

From the email:

Here's the stuff we've added:

• Favorites: quick offline access to files

• Bulk upload photos and videos

• Access all file and folder actions with just one tap

• Improved gallery view

• Upload from and export to your phone's memory

• Rename files and folders

• Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) improvements

• Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements

EDIT: Some nice UI changes, but some bugs in this as well:

The sdcard/Dropbox file is moved to sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch and will no longer play nice with wallpapers, ringtones, etc.

You now add files as Favorites to make them available offline, but there is currently no way to make folders favorites, so you would have to mark each file you want to use offline

No longer an indicator showing whether a file is already downloaded or not

Added bulk upload, but still no bulk download

Lost the updating/downloading notification on the status bar, now we don't know when the files finished uploading/downloading

And here's the apk. If you still want to give it a go. :) And the Dropbox Forum discussion if you want to join in.
