What is the problem ?

My tablet swtiches on just fine . After around 5 minutes , the display becomes fuzzy garbled shaky , like some interference is happening . Looks like the problem is hardware ( as I tried reset / ice cream etc ... ). I think its something about the heat sink or some kind of CCFL problem.

Will this require replacement of the LCD Panel / Display ? I am worried if the Samsung dealers would actually find the exact cause and replace accordingly ?

I dont have a warranty so if it involves a LCD replacement , then I will have to shell as much as a half a tablet . Also if they need to give a guarantee if they fix something ... I read about a person who had the same problem .... and the issue reappared after fixing it from Samsung centers in India.

If you're on a custom ROM, then it's just the ROM, your tablet is safe.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Soccer_Dad:
I had the same issue today with my tab. Other symptoms were that some programs were fine, my RAM was maxing out as I watched, and Tibu said I had 8Kb of system ROM free (i.e. it was filled completely).

I killed a few system apps, deleted, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and rebooted. Fingers crossed, but working now for a few hours.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Soccer_Dad:
Spoke too soon. The flickering came back. It flickers for some apps, not for others. And I get a perfect screen in portrait orientation, but problems in landscape. I think I'm going to wipe and start over. That way, with a clean stock, I can tell whether the problem is hardware or software.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thevishy:
Service centers didnt take it in India

I went to Bangalore service center but they were reluctant to offer any support.

I will try another service center though .

The problem is hardware as I tried ICE cream and stock rom both ... having the same problem .

I dont know what to do ? What can be reason for the screen to become fuzzy and unclear after 5-10 minutes ? Something to do with the heat ?

Mu hunch is 1) Something is getting over heat and causing the LCD panel some problem .

2) LCD Panel is getting heated too fast . CCFL ? I dont know what to look for .

Any advices ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] morrighu:
I've managed to stop the flickering display.

1) Toss the AP widget in the trash

2) Toss the AccuWeather widget in the trash

3) Get rid of the default Samsung apps & widgets

4) Set the task killer to kill them any time they start

5) Change the wall paper to something lower res
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thevishy:
It is a hardware issue

Samsng allowed extended warrarny period and asked me to ship the produt back to the US . So I am going to do that now .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eng_asa:
Hello,

My Gtab 10.1 just started doing this a week ago. I have been using a custom ICS rom (task 650) since I purchased it, and I had no problem with it until last week. It does exactly what you guys are saying:

- it works fine for the first 10 minutes, then starts flickering

- the more you keep it on, the worse it gets

- it works ok in portrait mode (most of the time with little flickering from time to time)

- it works fine for some programs, and flickers like hell in others.

I tried the following without any luck

- cool it down (put something freezing on its back)

- shake it

- installed several custom and stock roms (although I didn't find the exact stock rom for my model --> p7510MA as written on its back).

I have no warranty and I need to know if any one managed to know what the problem is... may be I can buy a replacement part from ebay and save some bucks.

UPDATE:

"E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)" basically means that your sdcard is not formatted correctly.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
I will buy a new dual core phone for my gf this days. I think this won't be a samsung because lack of support. They don't care and no ics for galaxy s. This means they doesn't respect 20 million galaxy s users.

Evo 3D is looking nice. Cheaper than sensetion. and even better than sensetion. What you think about other phones?

Xiaomi Mi-One is looks like best choice ( 1.5 Ghz dual core adreno 220 and 1980 mah battery latest ics) and 310$! but I don't know how can I buy one on my country. Also can't find on internet.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mass Zero:
I've been experimenting with this a lot, lately, and playing HD video remains a problem. While I haven't tried 1080p, 720p is already horrible. With every player I've tried (MX, Dice, Mobo, VPlayer, QQ, mVideo and probably more) there's some form of lag, and some don't even seem to have the capacity to start an HD video. So far, the player best capable of playing HD video seems to be DicePlayer, as suggested above. Also MX Video Player can manage some HD videos, with a proper setup.

If anyone else has suggestions for playing HD video, please tell them. I'm very interested to see if I missed any good players.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
If you're looking to be able to play your average HD rip found on the internet you'll be sorely disappointed. If you encode your own though, it's easy to get good quality playback.

My best advice for good 720p video playback is to encode your own files with Handbrake using high profile with B-Frames turned off, CABAC entropy off, 8x8 transform off and weighted p-frames off. Set your max width to 1280 and let the height be whatever it needs to be depending on the source aspect ratio. I use either CQ of 22 or so or I'll go with a 2-pass encode using average bitrate in the 3-4k range. Resulting files play great in Dice Player with full hardware acceleration.

For those looking to play their already encoded 1080p material off of their LAN I don't know what to say; the device won't do it . . it's a limitation on tegra 2 that has specific codec settings supported and not all. Other than re-encoding all of your stuff the only other alternative for LAN playback would be to run a Plex media server on your LAN which is what I do at home. Quality wont be great but it will be watchable and at least you'll have access to your media.

hi ,

i have sgs from some months ago ,

before like 1 month ago , i update my phone from android 2.1 to 2.3

then i start have problem in my battry it is dont stay more than 12 hr ( if i dont use the phone ! )

i was think it maybe from my battry so i bought new one but same problem

i flash my phone back to 2.2 , but still have same problem for now

so what best thing i can do it for fix this problem ?

and im using offical rom from samsung not custom rom

hope i find answer , thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
I suggest you first to make a full wipe.

If you want to stay with original Samsung ROM that's the only way, or turn off wifi,data and google synch.

I think the best solution for you is to switch from stock Gingerbread to CM7 for example (just because ISC 4.0.3 is still in beta...)

Hope this help.

Cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] powerpenguin:
Hi there,

I have a custom ROM in which I integrated many apps (to save /data memory).

For the apps which have dynamic libs I put these in /system/lib.

This works without problems for all apps except for

com.intsig.BCRLite

(which is Business Card Reader Light)

It keeps looking in

/data/data/com.intsig.BCRLite/lib/

although the app is in /system/app and its libs are in /system/lib.

If I symlink /system/lib/<bizcardlib>.so to /data/data/com.intsig.BCRLite/lib/ it works, but the symlink sometimes disappears and then the app stops working.

Any ideas why it keeps looking in the wrong place?

EDIT:

This issue still isn't solved, and I have been trying to work around it via symlinking from system to data. I tried to make the symlink from a userinit script. The script runs, but it seems the links are later (during the boot process) deleted:

I/PackageManager( 184): removed obsolete native libraries for system package /system/app/com.intsig.BCRLite.apk

This happens at every boot, so I have to resort to using script manager to manually run a symlink script.

TIA!

Hey I just got on Verizon for the gal nexus and I want to know if any of you guys considered the gnex instead of the razr or even went as far as trading your galaxy nexus for a razr. Just currious cause gnex isn't as "super" as u thought although a great device none the less
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TehWhale:
Too many issues with the nexus.

I initially wanted the nexus, but Hort tired if all the delays and got the razr. And I have to say, I liked it better then what the galaxy nexus sounds like. I'm impressed with how solid the phone feels. After coming from the thunderbolt. The features of the razr I like better and we won't have to wait to long to get ice cream sandwich.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jesseownzzz:
I had the GSM galaxy nexus and now I have the GSM Droid razr

-Pros (galaxy nexus)

Ice cream sandwich

Better battery life

The best or one of the best looking phones in the smartphone industry

Panoramic setting for camera

NFC

Super amoled HD

Front facing 2mp camera

-Cons

5mp camera

Soft speaker

Signal issues

Lack of micro SD slot

-Pros (razr)

8mp camera

Better speaker

Motocast

qHD display

Android 4 standard keys (pro or con depending on what you like)

Micro SD slot

-Cons

1.3 MP camera

2.3.5 android (for the time being)

Wide design

Battery life

In the end both phones are awesome but I feel like the Droid razr is more for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Razr has a panoramic mode as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jake21:
I wanted the nexus; but when i tired one it had a few issues; then i read the boards and saw others (but not everyone) had the same issues. No clue if bad samples or flaws in the phone (the major issue I noticed was very soft speaker; and on my test calls the person sounded garbled; though they said i was very clear). That coupled with signal issues i've read about scared me off. To be honest if the rezound had the razr's screen I would have gone that route (biggest flaw of hte rezound screen is weak visibility outside and highly reflective). To be honest I wished verizon had gotten the galaxy 2; I think my biggest dislike with the razr is the non-changeable battery (coupled with limited battery life) and verizion bloat wear. I hope ICS lets us disable some of this verizon crap; i find it laughable that the biggest issue with the moto. upgrade last week is some people have issue with verizion location agent chewing up battery life.

The above rant is relevant in that on the nexus (almost ) no mandatory verizon apps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Nexus seems to have a lot of connectivity issues not only with data but also in general with calls. Granted it has ICS give it a few months and RAZR will have it. They both have super amoled screens and almost identical processors. GN being slightly newer.

I say if the RAZR had ICS now, it would win EVERY comparison review. Most places I read that compare the 2 prefer the razr and either put it at a tie or give it to the GN just for ICS... Just by having ICS it shouldn't outweigh its short comings.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tornlogic:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
No Nexus here. Two of my coworkers have them and I've played extensively.

Nice phone (feels good in the hand) but not superior to the razr from a hardware stance. The novelty will wear off once we get ICS. If we got our BL unlocked it would be game over.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
As much as I would like to see that happen with the BL I don't think it will ever be unlocked by Motorola even with the release of ICS. Motorola blames the boot loader being locked by Verizon which is BS. LGs and samsungs are all unlocked. its all a manafactuer decision.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dakota0206:
I spoke with a Motorola "insider". Word is they came very close to unlocking the bootloader originally. They feel that is the way everything is going. Apparently they will be unlocking with the ICS update, possibly for Verizon customers as well.

This is just what was told, but the source was very credible
[Motorola Droid RAZR] psijac:
Galaxy Nexus: 4.65″ HD Super AMOLED (1280×720 resolution) – 316ppi

DROID RAZR: 4.3″ Super AMOLED Advanced (960×540 resolution) – 256ppi

The Nexus has a better screen on paper. In actuality you probably won't notice a difference.

The razr has better camera but the nexus has a very very fast lens shutter.

Razr

Pros: thin, sturdy build, gorilla glass, 8 mp camera

Cons: motoblur, locked boot loader, bezel is huge. Motorola slow on updates

Nexus

Pros: ics, fast camera shutter, fast updates, high amount of Dev community interest, T-Mobile version availble

Cons: not gorilla glass, Google wallet not included

I decided to get the Nexus for two reasons. The bezel on the Razr. Was too thick. It probably helps make the device sturdy but if you get a chance compare the razr. To a Samsung infuse to see what I mean. My previous phone was a Droid Charge. And of the three Ltd phones offered at the time it was considered the best. Less than a year later no one cares about that phone most of the devs have left it. The Evo still has Rome and tweaks. Only time will tell if the gnex has staying power in the community but the nexus branding definately gives it a leg up
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
Dont know why you guys are hating Motoblur....

it is one of the most neatly arranged UI till now I have used.

and it doesn't lag at all....

regarding the update thing...I think moto has stepped up and the close association with google in the future will only increase the frequency.....

I am using it for 3 weeks now and it looks and feels awesome....something different from every other phone on the market....

I did not decide on the nexus because, firstly it is Samsung, and Samsung has a long heritage of extremely bad radio solutions, in all the models.....I think the Nexus is suffering from that....Secondly, Nexus, how ergonomic its design is, doesn't feel special.......its like buying a Ferrari that looks like a Kia......
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Steven1145:
I had a look at the Nexus in the shop the day I bought my Razr. Razr wins in looks and style, hands down (there is always that thing people call taste though). I find the Razr much easier and comfortable to hold than what I was anticipating, it really is a sweet device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
Actually the only thing I don't like about blur now is I can't hide the notification bar.

As for the comment about "taste", there is another thing people call "preference"....which is what it all comes down to when "picking the best phone" remember....that statement actually reads "picking the best phone FOR ME" and you know what....nobody else can decide that for you.

which brings me to the last one....there is this thing called "class", one should exercise it when insulting another individuals preferences. This coming from a Razr owner who also believes the GN is a great phone...as is the iphone....when in the right owners hands.

There is a large number of people who will still tell you the OG Droid is the "best phone" out there. So what's that say?

Well i currently have the an att S2, went to the gnex for seven days returned it and just picked up the Razr, what a beautiful device not to mention the lte speeds, talk about blazing.
