Let me chime in with everyone else, this is a major milestone for ICS on the 8.9, my hats off to you guys. Your work breathes new life into this tablet.

Flash the alpha2 over the alpha1 with a simple cache clear and everthing works.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jhwbg:
I have reflashed this time via honecomb and I cleared everything and it is working better. Before I had flash on demand setting. Now I have tried with always on and completley off. When off it is working flawless.

First flash to a2 was directly from a1 and I cleared everything that time to....but I am happy to logcat if I problems return.

Perhaps you have some use of this information.

I will stay on this version now, because when you get the taste of this great rom it is impossible for me to go back to honeycomb.

I'm trying to get a proper user experience on my Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G. Or is it forbidden to use a device which was a bargain and not beeing satisfied with an unfinished product?

Most people buy Android and don't even think about how fast their system could run though it's a nerd scene who's flashing custom roms. Did not want to bother anyone with the word nerd, replace it with experienced user. I have my opinion and Android proofs it is a construction site as companies like Samsung destroy every user experience. ICS works like a charm compared to a stock rom with Touch Wiz. My point was that i don't want an unfinished product so i'm looking forward for quality delivered by iOS. As i said it was a TV+Tab bargain otherwise i'd never had bought an android device.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Thanks poisike. Interesting...since you are our 3G man, I am glad you are looking into this. That would be a 3.2% drop in 8hrs. Not too bad.

For those that haven't been following this battery issue in the kernel thread, the WiFi-only model (GT-7310) has never exhibited this issue. This was a 3G only issue (GT-7300). If some folks are having issues with 3G (jenne1980 etc.), we need to find out what they are doing differently.

I backed up helvettica from the stock TW ROM and restored it in GS today. I saw no difference.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] folkland:
If you had not had Gtab, I would tell you to pull the battery. So the tab did not shut down? Is it running? If it is on, force shutdown by pressing the Pwr button for 5 seconds. If it is off, you can always try pressing the pwr button for 12 seconds and thinking "please turn on". It worked for me once. Tell me how that goes.

Do this: Connect with adb (if it works) and type adb devices. Tell me the output. It sould show some number and then possibly text in brackets or not.

Does the screen respond in any way? (Beyond screen backlight)?[/QUOTE]

1. Yes I was longing for a battery to pull out like the old blackberry trick, LOL

2. I tried pressing power button all kind of time lengths - no visible impact other than true black off vs black pixels. It will reboot and stay on or stay off.

2. I got mad at it and left it at home so I will try ADB when i get home

Thanks

I noticed one thing now. I have been connected to a wifi network in town and when I came back home it didn´t connect to my home network automatically. I had to reboot to connect because my tab didn´t want to. Only got the alternatives to "hide" or "forget" network.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] SmittyRN:
Had a similar issue when dealing with my work WiFi last night. I hate using it, because you get redirected to a TOS page with an "accept" button every time your tab first connects or goes to sleep... wish it would just give you a cookie and let you surf. Anyway, when my tab sleeps, it loses the WiFi connection, and it won't connect back even if I click the "connect" button when I bring up the network. I found that what I have to do is turn off the WiFi then turn it back on, and then it will automatically reconnect. I've got the WiFi set to "never sleep", but it doesn't seem to work.

It also doesn't seem to want to connect to the hospot on my SGS2, but I haven't played with it enough to see what the problem is there.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Hmm...is there any reason the following situation happens? I mean, I ODIN, then it bootloops unless I do a full wipe at Stock Recovery (losing all SDcard contents). This is like the 5th time with the Betas. What's weird is, that didn't happen with the Alphas I tested before.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
New issue (I think). I used airplane mode to turn off mobile network last night. This morning turned off airplane mode and mobile network wouldn't come back. I went into network settings and turned it off & back on, verified the apn settings, no joy. I had to reboot the device to get it to work again.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
I don't have this issue on HC. But I'm not so sure because I rarely use it indeed :-D

I confirm this issue. It toggles on but not toggles off. Even if we turn off from setting, the airplane icon is still there and if you switch to power button menu, the airplane mode is still on and there's no way to turn it off but reboot.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

I don't encounter any reboot issue. Seems like unstable in installation can cause different issues on different units. After 4 or 5 installation now I have my youtube plays well. Unfortunately can't remember the last installation steps.

I did several combination steps like do all the nandroid wipe then install with or without data wipe, moving from P7310 to P7300 with or without data wipe, clean gappsV2, clean gappsV3 and gapps V2+V3.

Now it's pretty stable for me apart from that airplane mode issue and unfinished camera project.I don't bother the auto brightness for I always set it manually to comfort my eyes in every situation :D

We know about this issue and it's not new.

Can you please test something for me? Try enabling and disabling flight mode when wifi is on and connected. For some strange reason everything works as expected for me when wifi is on.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
Here's what happened:

1) My Tab was connected to 3G network.

2) I connected to my HTC Wildfire S using wifi/mobile hotspot.

3) I turned Airplane mode on

4) I turned airplane mode back off.

5) It immediately reconnected to 3G, but not wifi. I would have expected it to reconnect to the wireless network.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
Wifi : ON

Airplane : ON

(tray icon : wifi, airplane, greyed-3g)

Turn off airplane from tray

(tray icon: wifi, greyed-3g)

Turn off wifi

(tray icon : greyed-3g)

So the 3g still won't wake. I would rather say the airplane mode is still ON as we can see after turning off airplane mode the airplane icon is gone, but if you long press the power button it is written there that Airplane mode is ON (and it is greyed out and no way to toggle it).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] drauks:
Yep, I'm having constant reboots now with beta 1.4. It's really unstable. Just did a second clean (full wipe) install, same thing...

Same happened to me, I reverted to 1.3 because of those.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] poisike:
About airplane mode, i believe it doesn't turn mobile radio off correctly and thats where the problem starts.

About random reboots, i have never had a reboot on beta 1.4.

Using 7310 (ICS Beta 1.4 GT-7310), with and without OC. I've tried 12, 14 and 1500 in OC and no volting. Started right away when downloading all my apps from market.

BTW 1, Is there any tricks to be able to download more apps from the market? A few of my officesoftware, that Im using on my Transformer (one + Prime), says "wrong device".

BTW 2. Where can I find 1.3? TIt's problably right in front of my eyes, so don't flame me :-)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] bdfull3r:
go back to beta 1.3 its stable. idk what wrong with 1.4 but it doesn't appear to be as smooth or as stable
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] chienline:
I don't have any reboot either on beta 1.4.

About airplane mode, I never use it, but today I do a comprehensive test on several combination buttons, from settings, from tray button, power widget, and also from long pressed power button, and I attached the results here if anyone need it.

Something pretty strange that I couldn't reproduce the "greyed out airplane button" on long pressed power button (unclickable button) which I had on my previous post. But there are still unconsistent states of airplane mode (I turned it on but the sysem on long pressed power button said that it is off) :confused:

And also some states where the 3g wouldn't wake up and need to reboot.

I'm afraid there are more-than-one places the system keep the state of each mode (airplane, wifi, 3g).

Or on some buttons (either in settings, tray, power widget, power button) they forget to check and store the states of each mode.

For example the airplane-toggle-button from P7310 build has a routine to check only the wifi state, because it was not designed for P7300 (3g), which can cause the 3g state stay sleep.

(just my opinion) :D

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] the Doctor:
A little background: I own a P7300 wifi/3G. I use mobile network all the time instead of wifi because it's affordable here and easier on the battery.

I installed b1.4 shortly after it came out. I had to enter my carrier's APN manually as their info isn't in the config file that comes with GS. I've been using mobile network the whole time. 15 minutes ago, I suddenly lost wireless network and the APN was gone. When I tried to re-enter it, it would close and disappear. My mobile phone is on the same carrier and data plan but didn't have any problem. I tried switching SIMs and both worked fine in the Wildfire S, neither in the SGT8.9. Finally, after a couple more resets and retries entering the APN, it finally stuck and now it's giving me reliable 3G. I'm really scratching my head on this one.

Having the reboots as well. I also tried flashing the 2.0d motley kernel thinking it was likely a kernel issue, but the reboots persisted even then (and .2.0d was rock solid with overcome), so it must be else where in the rom.

I must admit I tried the CM9 port recently. It was ok, but REALLY slow for me and not as stable. Came back to GSoup 1.3 almost immediately and it was so fast in comparison. Switching apps, launching, task windows, everything is swift.

Is it the souper kernel that makes it so fast?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Weird, I tested Beta 1.4 heavily for several days and didn't had reboots. The only issues I found were the Browser once more sometimes stopped working with the Internet and the Youtube app sideways scrolling graphics issue on the left side of the screen. Are you guys wiping before flashing? Also, have you cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache and then tested if reboots still remained?

I read that the camera on CM9 is not working either. I'm running GS Beta 1.4 @1,504 and have no reboot issue.

I agree with nirogu325 about distortion on bottom left of screen while scrolling on youtube homescreen, which I have encountered since alpha version.

But I don't see the stock browser get stuck yet.

Everything is just going great and smooth so now I'm hunting the market apps to load on my Tab :D

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] Loccy:
The browser freeze problem is an old one and seems to be related to Flash. If I watch a Flash video, sometimes on subsequent use of the browser you get the behaviour you describe, where it hangs. I have my browser set to display the most used pages as the homepage and even this fails to load despite being an internal page that requires no interwebs. When in this state if you do a force stop on the browser it seems to fix it (so no need for a full reboot). Suspect there is some kind of Flash based process that's hanging and causing the browser to do the same.

If you have no interest in Flash, I would imagine disabling it would fix this problem outright - otherwise, a quick force close and you're back in business.

I've developed an app to change to swedish/finnish keyboard layout as I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with my GT-P7310 and I've created versions of the app for a couple of other countries aswell.

Here's a demo version of the German/Austrian version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apedroid.keymapgerausdemo

Not sure if the Samsung keyboard uses a standard German keyboard layout. If it uses a modified layout then all mappings may not be correct. Let me know how it works.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] SmittyRN:
I commented on my wifi issues a week ago; since then, I tried out the CM9 build and saw the same issues. Either it's an ICS issue, or I'm missing something in the setting.

When I am using the tab, the wifi will lose connection after a while. At first I thought it was when it was going to sleep, but a couple of times I've lost the connection while I was using the tablet. The wifi icon disappears, and I have no connectivity, even though the wifi toggle is "on". I'll get my wifi back if I toggle it off then back on again. I've got the settings set to "never sleep", so I don't know what I'm missing. Is anyone else seeing this?

Also, CM9 has a nice feature for a network that you have to log into before you can start using. At work, when you start using the wifi, it takes you to a login page. When I lose the connection, I have to return to that page to log in again. CM9 shows you an indicator that says "login to network" or something to that effect; it's nice to have that shortcut available. Any chance it can be added to the Soup?
