[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Can you check which version of the samsung firmware you are using? Does it end with "KL1" or something else?

I'm wondering if it might have been a bad flash or some other fluke. Here are the differences (with comments) between the 1st and 5th:

android ram_console support - this could do something unpredictable, but shouldn't. Basically, what this does is on boot up, it asks the kernel to reserve a VERY specific location and size of memory, and writes kernel messages here. On the next reboot, the kernel will check that exact chunk of memory and if certain headers are in place, it will stick a copy in /proc/last_kmsg. In this way, I might be able to see the kernel messages (including any panic) from the previous boot. Of course, the memory often gets trashed between the two boots, so this doesn't always work. Anyway, if something else is trying to use the exact same memory, it could cause problems (but it would cause the same problems for everyone with the same model tablet...)

bootanimation: This isn't actually a kernel change, but a modification to the init script that checks to see if a bootanimation file is present and if so it'll run samsung's own "bootanimation" binary instead of samsung's "samsungani" binary. In either case, the process is killed when the lock screen is first presented.

conservative governor stuff: As you aren't using setCPU, you are still using 'ondemand' so this stuff would have NO impact.

---

Honestly, the issue reported kind of surprises me. The kernel I'd expect to give people problems would be the 0101 one, as I mess with clock speeds and voltages in there. Since then, the changes have been very light. Can you try to delete any copies of Jan07 you might have sitting around, completely redownload it, and reflash it? Let me know if you have the same (or different) issues.

If you do have issues, use the market app called "OS Monitor" to export the dmesg log (while you are having the issue or immediately afterwards, but before rebooting.) Upload the exported log here (or somehow get it to me) with a full description of what was happening, if it was occuring during the time you exported the log (or how long previous to exported it occured), etc.

At that point, go ahead and revert to whichever kernel you are comfortable with and I'll study the log and try to see whats going on over the weekend.

Take care

Gary,

I flashed "GT-P6210 for US RETAIL" from this thread:

Here's a screencap.

I'll try the 20120107 kernel again, and let you know. It may be tonight....

Thanks!

i flashed the new kernel last night, and i haven't really had a chance to test it, but i did do some reading on the SOD deal, and i have my wifi set to "sleep when screen off" and i left home an hour ago, just pulled out my tab plus and BAM, fired right up.

I did want to ask you one request, any chance of implementing "smartassv2"? i'm gotten so lazy and spoiled with it...i never got around learning how to set profiles and junk, so this always helped me out...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Okay, that's the older KK3 firmware. Here's what I'd like for you to do (if you could):

1. reflash that from the ODIN thread. That should revert recovery, the kernel, etc. Then attach your tablet to your PC and let Kies run to update the firmware to KL1. It would really be best if your firmware was updated BEFORE changing kernels. There are a couple reasons for this, but most importantly so that we are talking about the same thing (I've only ever tested these kernels with KL1.)

2. Make sure Kies has updated your firmware... settings->about->build number should show something like HTJ85B.UEKL1.P6210UEKL1. If Kies updates the firmware to something beyond "KL1" (if the number is greater than 1 or the last letter is beyond "L") then STOP, reply to this post letting me know the build number. (I'll want to revert my own tablet to stock and get it on the latest build for testing.)

3. Then go ahead and start playing with kernels - you will hopefully be good to go. if not, let me know.

Take care

Please post this in the proper thread (in the DEV subforum.) I asked rswoods to post his question here in general as he can't post in DEV yet (doesn't yet have 10 posts), but I wanted the "public" to see the troubleshooting steps in case others have similar issues, etc. (I can't complain that people aren't searching for answers if the answers are hidden in PM's.)

Oh, and probably not. The same can be accomplished with SetCPU profiles, and I'm working hard to REDUCE the kernel footprint.

Take care

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rswoods:
Gary,

OK... I reflashed the stock ROM, updated to KL1 through Kies, installed p6210_CWMR_20120107.zip, then flashed your 20120107 kernel. So far so good.

I'll see how it goes the next few days and report back.

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rswoods:
Gary,

Things are mostly good, but I'm still getting infrequent SOD's. I never know when it will happen... It will wake successfully several times in a row, but every once in awhile require the long press reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
SOD's are unsolved. The majority of people having them are using the stock firmware and kernel (and replacing the kernel with mine doesn't seem to help whatsoever.) There's a thread dedicated to the subject here - you might find it interesting reading.

I'm glad the other issues you were experiencing have gone away...

Hi!

I wonder if it is possible to change the icons in the ICS stock launcher, and if it is, how to do it the easiest way?

i am not intressted in changing launcher..

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Pretty simple, just long press an icon in the launcher, it will vibrate and you can remove that icon. Then go into app drawer, and select the app you want in the launcher. Just hold that app and drag down into the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karstensson:
No, i mean changing the icon, not the shortcut, icon as designvise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karstensson:
i take this as it is not possible :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexluckett:
Correct. It's possible via a third party launcher however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Download an app called "icon changer" from the Play Store. It will create a shortcut with a custom icon on your launcher

Hello together!

I have a problem with my Desire :(

I'm using CM7 since months without troubles.

But from one night to the other my wlan signal is extremly low, i have one bar of signal strength directly at the hotspot (no problems with other mobile phones or notebooks etc)

After that i tried many things:

newest radio, newest CM7, a new middle case ... without success.

The GPS signal is good ...

I think the Bluetooth signal is also not so good, but i don't have a reference here.

So i hope anybody can help me here!

Thanks pmneo
[Desire General] vashishtuday:
but does your wifi work ok , i mean are u able to surf on ur phone with wifi ??

or do u have to sit near the hotspot for that ?
[Desire General] pmneo:
i can surf about 3-5 meters around the hotspot.

Before i got that problem i was able to surf everywhere in the house ...
[Desire General] KreeZiE:
Do you also have the problem with other hotspots?

If not it's a hotspot issue (change wifi channel or something), if so I would advice to test it with a standard rom to be sure.

If it's still bad with the standard rom after that it's probably the hardware of your phone.
[Desire General] patladjanko:
Try with another hotspot. If problem remains, do a backup and hard reset, or you can even try a new rom.
[Desire General] pmneo:
I tried the hotspot @ work -> same problem

I tried some other roms -> same problem

I think the antenna is the problem ... does anybody nows where the antenna is located?

Toshiba 5.1-inch prototype tablet eyes-on - http://tpt.to/a2gbSkJ - shared from Taptu

The Galaxy Note isn't quite right for me. It's a nice device, but I just don't like Samsung's ergonomic choices. Things like the volume rocker and camera position preclude using the device effectively in landscape, which is my preferred orientation.

The Iconia Smart is okay, but not much of a hardware upgrade from my trusty Spidey.

But this mystery Toshiba mini tablet looks promising! So far it's just a concept device with no plans for production, but I'm hoping that the Galaxy Note proves the viability of the 5" market segment.

Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
[Streak 5 General] _n0p_:
Well, it looks a lot better then Note and it should better fit the palm as it has different aspect ratio.

Very interesting device.
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
I'm curious n0p, what do you dislike about the Galaxy Note?

Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
[Streak 5 General] zAm1987:
I have the same problems with the note. I'm nearly a landscape-only user (which is why I love the streak) and just don't like that the Samsung Font is facing upwards then, the camera lens is covered by my hand, the buttons aren't in best position, etc. Of course this all is only a problem in landscape mode, but that's just the mode I like ;)

Under these conditions, I'm really interested in the toshiba prototype. As n0p said, it seems to fit the palm quite good in landscape mode and maybe it could be a true successor to the streak ;)
[Streak 5 General] _n0p_:
smnc, that's like...

OK, not to start the flame war :)

Design. It's cheap. I've seen black and white one and disliked both.

My hand is ok for streak, but not for note.

Unnatural display colors.

It's big, there're answer/hold buttons?

Dislike the centre button. What's it actually for? :)

Cannot see menu/back without backlight.

But fast.

Anyway not good for me.

Edit:

Almost forgot. Half price goes to marketing, even here, in third world country, I see a lot of commercials, ads and like, that makes it close to chewing gum in my opinion :)
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The big center button is the home button, personally I prefer it that way, the back and menu buttons you can find by feel if you know where the home button is.

The S5 needs the leds on, though a raised home button would look terrible on the s5 because the note is designed as a portrait device and the s5 as a landscape device.

Goog's half-heartedly trying to standardize the buttons to "back" - "home" - "menu/alt-tab" and it kinda makes sense to me. There's a dozen or so combinations possible in the layout if you also include the optional search button. That and the menu button goes away in HC/ICS and becomes the 'alt-tab' button. Far too many combinations.

Would you prefer if they did what dell did and didnt spend any money on marketing? ;)
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
Interesting. I don't have any problem with the way the Note looks, but I agree with the layout complaints. I much prefer the light up capacitive buttons on the Streak, as well as the feel of it in my hand, but my two big complaints are the volume rocker and camera placement. AFAIK, they're common to all Samsung phones, but they both make it impossible to use it in landscape mode.

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
There's also the fact that if it's released with that 21:9 screen it's prob as wide as the galaxy nexus, anything that isnt 16:9 is rather uncommon and it being 5.1" is a bit misleading as that's the diagnal.

Same thing happened with 4:3 -> 16:9, diags are misleading unless they're both the same aspect ratio
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Toshiba similar to Dell does not have a good history of making phones - most of them were not that good. I think Toshiba's 5.1 phone will end up similar to the Acer Iconia Smart/Dell Streak 5; a large screen device with minimal specs = not appealing to most users/small sales. At the moment, only the Note is worth the money you are throwing in a phone.
[Streak 5 General] _n0p_:
TheManii, that's what that button is for? :) Just kidding, i've played with Note enough.

And I feel ok having a unique device :)

Streak looks serious and sturdy, do like :)

And Streak has weight. Note doesn't.

--

Toshiba made some good WinMo phones, don't remember the exact model, but I think 1Ghz cpu first appeared in their phone.

--

Fingers crossed for this model go in production. Only hopes Quallcom won't be involved in this.
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
@Final5k

How does the Streak 5 not have good specs?

When it was released, the 1Ghz Snapdragon was the best processor available. Nothing was faster in a phone until the Optimus 2x, more than 6 months later. The screen and pixel density are good, 512mb of RAM is good. The only disapointing IMO is the mediocre camera and lackluster software support from Dell.

Sure the Streak is just kind of average now, but it's almost 2 years old.

Also, Toshiba might not have a stellar reputation for phones, but think of this as a small tablet instead. Toshiba has a long history in PC tablets, and the Thrive is a decent bit of work.

As for the Note, you've kind of made my point. It IS a phone. Just a big phone with a stylus.

I want a tablet.

Sure, I want voice capabilities, but if all I wanted was a powerful phone, I could get a SGS II or an HTC Sensation.

in the us the s5 came out around nov/dec and the desire hd came out in like dec/jan and tbat was the first s2 based device

the s5 was one of the final high end s1 devices released in the us, though its uk launch it was still relatively early in the s1 lifecycle
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
The Desire HD still has a single core 1Ghz Snapdragon though, AFAIK. The only notable improvement is the bump to Adreno 205, no?

My point is that the Streak wasn't horribly underpowered at release as some people seem to think.

Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The bump to s2 was enough for them to warrent calling it the s2.

S1 to S3 isnt a massive archectural change, it's mainly the extra core and a clock bump. S4 is the first major change to snapdragons since they were released.

I dont think anyone called it underpowered due to the hardware, it was due to it still being on 1.6 which is definitely a lot slower then 2.2.

Being launched with S1 @ 1.6 is a hard sell when S2 and 2.3 were literally days away (i'm speaking again of the us launch, as i'm guessing many of us in the us wernt even aware of the s5 till the us launch)
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
Fair enough, I did mention Dell's "lackluster software support" earlier.

I was specifically responding to Final5k saying that the Streak 5 and Iconia Smart both having "not very good specs" compared to the Galaxy Note.

My original point was that the Note is brand new, built with current generation hardware specs, whereas the Streak is well over a year old, but was made with specs that were current and powerful at the time.

The Iconia Smart on the other hand is not really an upgrade from a Streak, despite being a year newer.

The Streak's direct sucessor is already out, it's called the Lenovo LePad S2005 :D
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
True, but I have yet to hear any details about it launching outside of China.

It is the TRUE successor, what with being made by the same folks who made the Streak 5 for us.

The LePad/IdeaPad S2005 sounds nearly perfect (although lacking the PDMI port).

Also, I'm not sure if I ever heard confirmation about it's phone capabilities.

Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
I say it's the sucessor because Qisda made the S5/7/Venue

Qisda also made the S2005, it's got identical specs to the 'Opus One' if it ever was released (if dell really did release it, it'd prob just be a modified chassis and identical internals)

I believe it's designed closer to 'an oversized phone' then the streak's 'miniature tablet' (though some of us use it as an oversized phone anyway) and does everything the s5 does but with newer HW. Pretty sure it can do calls as it really doesnt make sense for something under 6.5" to not have at least one submodel that can.

The lacking of the dell 30 pin port is the biggest difference, weither or not that's a good or bad thing is up to how many accessories you have for it.

Unfortunately yea I dont know if it will launch outside china, depending on how much they grill their devs it might be like the S5/7/V and also lack driver support :(

Hardware wise I'm more tempted to get the S2005 then the Note, I dont really wanna pay that much more for ultimately just stylus support. Yes the note is likely a good deal faster but it's a good deal more expensive too.

Software wise I'd imagine the S2005 would be like the S10, as in no real support at all on xda. (I'm pretty much the only dev for it that isnt in china) :(

I have some mp3 podcasts that have "blips" in the middle of the files. It plays fine on VLC on my computer, it just skips over the corrupt part. However, when the media player on my Android 2.2 phone (HTC vision) plays one of these mp3s, it stops playing instead. It just abruptly starts the next mp3 in the playlist. I've tried several mp3 players including meplayer and mixzing and they all do the same thing. I searched the Android market for VLC but found some ripoff called "VLC Direct" instead (looks just like VLC but won't actually play any files unless you pay).

I have been a regular forum ghost for about 4 years now, I own 3 HTC HD2's all with custom rom's ranging from WP7 to Android. Im currently looking at buying a new phone to play with and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to get next. Ideally im looking at HTC but i have been looking at the samsung galaxy.

Also I probably wont get n e thing till about april. Are there n e top spec smartphones being released in or around april that might b worth getting?

Galaxy Note or Galaxy S II (any modification, the highest-speced is Skyrocket HD, but release date is unknown).

Also you can wait for MWC (it's on 27feb-1mar). There'll be HTC quad-core phone(s) announced, e.g. HTC Edge.

I too was considering getting the Samsung GS2, but I'm currently at an unpleasant decision point about giving up my "smartphone exclusion" and "data opt-out" features tied to my WM6.1 LG Incite. The on-screen buttons are really small and resistive screen is so insensitive that it's barely usable. I'm ready to move on, but getting stuck for a worthless 200MB data plan or a grossly overcharged 2GB plan doesn't do it for me.

I was considering getting an international i9100 version and flashing its IMEI to my current IMEI, but there's some potential contractual problems there. Does anyone have a more legitimate way to maintain my current pricing plan or if it must increase to get something of value (e.g. data and texts for the same price)?
