[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
Agreed the tab is slow to charge, but honestly, even with heavy use, streaming audio, browsing, playing games, downloading, etc I can get 1.5 or so days off a full charge. Definitely can't do that with any smartphone I've had.

And even though we're OT with the performance of the Tab and what's holding it back, I really think the Tegra 2/Honeycomb Rom are what are holding it back. It's not a good combo and neither of the two are impressive by themselves, let alone put together.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I got the 10.1 for my dad as a birthday gift. He loves it and takes it everywhere and loves showing it off to my ipad toting relatives.

But his chief complaint is how long it takes to charge. Sometimes he doesn't use it as much as he'd want to cause it takes so long to charge.

I just rooted his phone and installed galaxy task 10, so I'll see if that helps charging a bit.

Too bad I can't use voltage control to increase charging current. I've looked around the subforum and there's no information on kernels that support voltage control.

With regards to the lag issue, that's more my concern. Compared to my SGS2 which is buttery smooth even with many widgets and live wallpapers, the 10.1 just seems to struggle so much more. With the stock ROM, the tablet was almost impossible to use with a live wallpaper. Compared to my friend's asus transformer, it is still laggy too, leading me to believe it's probably a rom or tw ui issue.

Task 10 has improved the lag issue immensely but it is still there.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
True. The problem with my dad is he has no spare socket in his room and has to charge along our hallway. And I don't want him leaving the tab in the hallway for 5-7 hours.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
ditto. 10 chars.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
You are right, however, I'm using the stock ROM with ADWlauncher EX and I can use live wallpaper without any problem :)

I don't have any lag and everything is smooth.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Thanks ill try your suggestion next time I get hold of the tab.

Hoping someone can help with the charging issue still

get a dual socket plug from your local hardware store - only $6
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Have you tried this yourself? If yes, would you mind posting pictures?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Super high tech stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Haha so that's what he meant ok.

My dad's got two of those already. I don't know if it's wise to plug another dual plug to a dual plug.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general1977:
It depends on the appliances that are being fed by the dual plugs. 5 hairdryers are not a good idea. 5 Galaxy Tabs are no problem. Just add the amps of all appliances and don't overload the fuse or either of the plugs.

The charging time depends on the capacity of the battery divided by the amperage of the charger. The battery of the SGT holds 7Ah (=7000mAh), the charger delivers a maximum of 2A. Under ideal conditions it would take 7Ah / 2A = 3.5 hours to charge the completely empty battery. Since battery charging processes are never ideal (current drops during charging cycle) this time will be exceeded. This is a fact that can't be addressed by software. It's physics. More than 2A via standard USB-Plugs and wiring are "not advisable". So Samsung set the specs accordingly.

The "voltage control" you are talking about changes processor voltage and not charging aspects. You might be able to get half an hour more battery lifetime out of the tab but you're not going to speed up charging.

Regards

Achim
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Thanks for the informative post.

One correction though, voltage control can change charging current aside from other things if the Kernel supports it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpetersen3:
I have a SGS GT I9000 from australia, and I am trying to use it in the US for AT&T. I have rooted on JVR (via CFROOT v4.1) and tried using modem binaries for KC1, JL2 and KG3, all seem to find minimal signal when I am in the street.

I have manually unlocked the sim settings using adb. I have enabled the 850 mhz band in the settings and have seen the *#0011# showing gsm on 850 mhz.

Frankly I am lost now because I have no idea what could be causing the issue anymore. The sim works fine in my other phone, if anyone can shed some ideas I would much appreciate it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
does anyone know a way to switch themes in webtop? i tried using the xfce appearance thing but it doesn't switch. you can easily replace the default theme at webtop-theme but that's no good if you're developing a theme.

is it possible if you install an entire desktop environment like gnome or xface?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Dammit, all this time tinkering with webtop and I never noticed the themes didn't work.

Time to do some research :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
im had a glitch just now.. i plugged in my phone and noticed icons in the webtop popup menus.. so i opened the xfce4 appearance dialog and switched icon themes, and it worked! so next i tried switching themes.. it flickered and went dead, then relanched webtop with the webtop icons + theme.

so, obviously, yes, you can switch themes. no, webtop doesn't like it when you try. why? i duno. for now, replacing the gtk in the webtop-theme folder works fine and i highly HIGHLY recommend you do so. the default webtop theme is all images. find a gtk/metacity that uses a gtk engine other than pixmap ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
also, i recommend using setcpu to overclock to a minimum of 1300 when charging, and undervolt -75. webtop performs fairly well this way. minimum lag.

and i found an extension called hide caption titlebar plus for firefox that allows you to have the tabs in title bar effect like windows.. saves a good 22-26px vertical real estate =D

(surely everyone already knows this.. i'm thinking aloud.. with my fingers.. or something =p )
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
if you install gnome-desktop-environment you can use gnome-appearance-properties to swtich icons, metacity, cursors, and wallpapers.. (install gnome-screensaver followed by gnome-desktop-environment then add "gnome-session" to your osh/usr/local/bin/start-oshwt-2.sh .. if Appearance doesn't appear in System>Properties just create it with alacarte)

however all the controls themes look like the default webtop-theme and when you try to switch anyway bad things can happen.. i just applied the "simple" theme and everything crashed. i couldn't even boot into webtop until i removed all the themes but webtop-theme from the themes folder forcing it to fall back to default.

in gnome you can also access the touch pad controls from system>preferences and adjust touch pad speed.

so far i've had no problems with gnome. everything is running fast as ever and it feels more like ubuntu. ditch xfce4 and run gnome. the keyring wasn't working with xfce4 either = bad bad bad

edit: note that you can still simply replace the webtop-theme gtk with a theme of your choosing.. i highly recommend installing murrine and using mire v2 gtk. it's fast and dark, so the mobile view and such looks good. until i can modify the icons present on the mobile view app you really need to stick with dark controls
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimsoneyez:
Hi,

I went to reset my GN last night and then it started going in a boot cycle. It displays the Google logo and then keeps doing this in a continuous cycle without reaching the flashing colours.

I haven't rooted my phone and it's running stock 4.0.2 via OTA update.

I am yet to factory reset and I will be doing this soon, however my main concern at the moment is that I have photos/videos from my holiday on my phone which I really want to keep hold of.

Is there any way I can get my GN to go into USB Storage mode without it actually being on? Preferably without rooting or flashing roms.

Any help will be of great assistance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Think you might be out of luck. Try pulling the battery and trying to reboot again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimsoneyez:
That was the first thing I tried. I even left my battery out over night. At times like this I wish the GN had an SD slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimsoneyez:
Anyone else? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
How are you going to factory reset if it doesn't turn on and you aren't rooted? I know if you factory reset in CWM it won't remove your virtual SD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimsoneyez:
Good point... forgot coming from a rooted phone lol. I can still access other modes by using the volume rocker and power button.

Considering sending it back. Not sure if I want to root it and mess around with it atm. I know you can bring it back to stock but I'd rather not risk it. Just my luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimsoneyez:
Actually there is one way. Get into recovery with the android with the red exclamation mark. Press and hold the power button first and then press up on the volume rocker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Gotcha, haven't seen a stock recovery on so long I forgot about it haha. In any event.. good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] willmon22:
I have read that Sprint doesn't support HSDPA and it only supports EVDO rev a and b. But I was wanting to know if there is anyone in the forum that could verify this if they have a phone that supports HSDPA and states the max speed they get for downloads. It would help greatly as it would prevent me from getting one of the HSDPA phones and get the EVDO rev b phones.
[General Questions and Answers] willmon22:
Ok either no one here has a phone that is on the sprint network with HSDPA like a iphone 4g s or people think I haven't bothered to search which I have but have come up with no direct confirmation. So if someone has one could you please do a speed test on it and find what the speed is to see if it goes over 9Mbps if so then sprint supports HSDPA if not then they don't.

The dock with my TF101 would charge my tablet on a constant basis as long as it was connected. It seems like this dock only starts charging my prime once it drops below a certain level. Is that the way this one is supposed to work, or do I possibly have a deffective dock?

[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
If I boot into my recovery(teamwin), and do a nandroid backup, what exactly is backed up, what is not? I am on MIUI-1120901 and would like to try a new ICS rom, maybe something with beats audio since I'm a huge music guy. If I nandroid back up with MIUI rom, then wipe, and flash a different rom, can I restore that MIUI backup, or not? I don't want to lose my messages, contacts, Gmail sync, apps, settings...what is the best way to switch roms and retain all data/apps?
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
When you back up it keeps your apps, settings, data, contacts, messages. everything that you have at the time you backup. But only up to that point. What I mean by that is it does not keep apps and messages you may accumulate in your next Rom

Once you get into flashing different things you should backup every week or so especially if you want to be up to date if you ever need to restore. Just my thinking

You do not keep your radio and hboot version however keep that in mind.
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
What do you mean by it doesn't keep my radio and hboot? And, my main question is, can I restore a backup made on MIUI to a different ROM, like CM7 or Revolution or something?
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
Also, there are 3 options unchecked:

Recovery, Cache, and .android_secure sd-ext. Should I check those also?
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
restoring isnt a form of flashing. so yes you can restore over anything, no need for a superwipe or anything like that if thats what you were thinking.

hboot and radio have nothing to do with the rom software, so for instance if you flashed a rom that recommended a different radio and you went ahead and flashed it to do what the rom suggest.

then you went ahead and restored your backup, you wouldnt have the radio you had when you backed up. does that make sense?

the radio is what is used to grab your signal from your carrier and some builds of roms suggest or even semi require different radios in order to function in a stable manner.

for instance arhd 4.1.9 (2.3.5 gingerbread) reccomend radio 10.15 while 5.0.2 (4.0.1 ice cream sandwhich) now reccomends radio 11.16, if i wanted to restore my 4.1.9 it would be recommended to flash 10.15 radio with it.

but if your just doing some a back up of you miui so you dont lose it if something goes wrong on your new rom. you shouldnt have an issue just backing it up flashing new rom and restoring if need be.

think of a backup as a check point for yourself so if anything goes wrong in the futrue you can start at that check point rather starting from the beginning and finding all your settings and apps ect...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
He means it only backs up the ROM itself and the radio and hboot are always outside the backup or rom. The radio and hboot are static until you fastboot and flash a new one.

Also keep in mind to check the ril and test out different ril/radio combos that fit your area.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
what you mean they are checked? what is it asking you to do with those?
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
They are UNchecked(recovery, cache, android secure) but I just read I don't need to check those. I understand the radio/hboot now. What I don't understand - if I nandroid b/u right now, while on MIUI, then wipe, and flash a new ROM, lets say Revolution, and then restore that backup, does it put me back on MIUI, OR leave me on Rev, with all my data(texts, contacts, settings, etc.) and apps I had on MIUI?
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Ok here

You back up on miui it creates a folder with you miui Rom and set up. Then you flash revolution. If restore it puts the miui back on and won't effect anything.but if you do not backup rev before restoring you will not have your rev Rom saved and will.need to superwipe and reflash rev

Restoreing will erase anything you have and replace what you had when you backed up

2 hours and 12 min till 2012

Edit: you can use sms back up and titanium back up (free from the market) as well to keep your apps and messages as you flash over

Google account will sync your contacts and email so no need to worry about that. Sorry I didn't comment on that question at first.
[HTC Sensation] SkydiverChris:
Specific Restore question

Hi everyone,

I have been using Nandroid and TiBackup for a while, but this thread was the closest I could find to my question, so here goes. I figure the answer will be yes (as it's a NAND backup), but I want to confirm since I have a build/configuration that I like and want to come back to exactly as is.

Does Nandroid restore everything, such as my icon placement on the homescreen, application data, everything?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Yes all of the above. It will restore to the last backup. But it does not replace/restore the Hboot and radio.

[HTC Rezound] hellcatrydr:
I just got the (29.99 sale) extended battery. I have a couple of questions... about the COVER.

First, where is the antenna array that is so visible in the stock cover on the left? I'm still getting 4G with it but WTH???

And second, are there any other covers out there for the fat batt that are nicer? Thanks.

View attachment 837543
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I believe the antenna difference is because the extended case uses metal instead of that paper crap from the original. Could be wrong, but I think that's it. As far as other cases, I've looked but haven't found any. I get horrible creaking with the extended case, so it's always covered.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
The extended cover does have those antenna arrays in it, they are just coated with a flack paint or film. If you look closely there is a brand name stamped onto the antenna pieces in tiny letters of whatever company it is that makes them. I can't remember what it said and do not feel like removing the cover just to see.

The antenna areas will have a raised look or slightly different color that the plastic. If you look closely at the original battery cover you will find that one of the antennas in it is of the same type as in the extended cover. It has the brand name stamp on it and everything.
