Hi,

I'm using CM7.1 on a SGS I9000, and when selecting Hebrew, all the menus appear in this language. I'm not sure if it's a feature of CM7, or someone enabled it just for SGS I9000 and other selected devices.

Before installing the CM7 for this device (I5500), I want to ask if it supports the Hebrew language (I mean full menu display in this language, not just RTL and font support)

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
sure it's a language available in CM7, how couldn't it be that way?

A rom / firmware is what we can call a OS (it's an easy way to call it, 'cause it's not really an OS) and thus it has inside languages! You can even check with an archive manager (apk files could be opened with it) and open apk like LatinIME or Setting, for example, and you'll find the supported languages..

No offense phlooke, but you've told a few people that, and I've already become a bit lost in the over 100 pages of posts in that overcome 4.1 thread. Unless you're gonna post a link to the page in that thread where the solution begins, how is your above post helpful?

I'm going back into that thread now, but I swear, it's full of a lot of duplicate commentary, side discussions, and very little of the content is useful. A mod should clean up that thread.

Overcome Series ROM's are awesome but I always have a screen problems on my TMO Tab. I get these little brownie prickles on my screen like a twinkling stars at night. I am not sure why, maybe it's because the LCD and RAM are under voltage. Normally, every time I flash a new ROM, I always flash back my modem.bin just to make sure that I get all the benefits of my carrier's. Right now, I use Chromed JQ8 Stock ROM with Dip7 Kernel. It's pretty much stable and fast. Chromed JQ8 and Dip7 Kernel combo works furiously fast and stable. No bugs and everything works wonderfully.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
Actually not really, because if you read through the conversations on the Overcome 4.1.0 thread, that wifi fix doesn't work for many people. And now, as a new Overcome user (as of four hours ago), it doesn't work for me, either. I flashed the fix file from CWM and I still get an up, down, up, down and so on with the wifi connection. There needs to continue to be people asking some of the same questions about this, so that people like yourself don't give the mistaken impression that this problem is somehow "solved". I'm not putting you down, because I can tell from your posts on XDA that you really want to help when and where you can (as do most people on XDA including myself), but the fact remains that this wifi problem is NOT fixed, and at least for the time being, the more people who squawk about it on here or in the official Overcome thread, the more likely a true solution will present itself.

Because right now, there isn't one. The flash fix doesn't work for a lot of us, and I shouldn't have to tweak my router. That's a ridiculous notion. That, and I find myself moving from location to location, relying in a variety of wireless networks to connect to, and I certainly can't go and tweak every single router I come into contact with. It's unrealistic, and it's a *software* issue on the ROM. So a fix is possible. But isn't available just yet.

So this thread, and any other new ones... at least for the short term, they have the latent function of keeping the issue current and visible to the developer or others who might have the tech savvy to truly fix the issue.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
personally, if I don't feel like helping, I will just move on.

I just don't understand why some people feel like policing the threads while not offering valuable info.

Take a deep breath and ignore the post.

As for the wifi problem, I wonder if it is modem related? It has to be either that or hardware related (batch issue with chipset?)

There is a small number of users with unstable wifi issue.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
Small number of reported people with this issue. Who knows how many it actually affects, but more than three is too many. I can't see why it would be hardware related, since the devices in question work fine prior to flashing Overcome 4.1.0. Some people have switched to Overcome 4.0 and seen the problem go away (as have those who switched to other Chefs' ROMs). Of those who install 4.1.0 and see no problems, it suggests that whatever change happened between 4.0 and 4.1.0 affects only certain routers. Maybe some kind of optimization done has rendered a number of router models affected. ???
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmattar:
It has nothing to do with what router you have. Any router set to have no lease expiration will cause the bug. MOST routers don't even allow you to do such an asinine things. I couldn't force my router to have no lease expiration if I wanted to (which I wouldn't, because it would be stupid).

Search google for "Netgear No Lease Expiration". This is a GENERAL problem. It is not confined to Gingerbread Overcome ROM 4.1.

The bug is a combination of some routers' fault for shoddy programming and a gingerbread wifi config fault for not handling a fringe (and borderline retarded) but technically acceptable setting.

Change (FIX) your router's setting.

---

See for details: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt

According to the RFC SPEC:

The client may ask for a permanent assignment by asking for an infinite lease. Even when assigning "permanent" addresses, a server may choose to give out lengthy but non-infinite leases to allow detection of the fact that the client has been retired.

Nowhere in the spec does it say the server should give out Infinite Leases to clients that do not ask for them. If your router gives infinite leases to clients that can not or do not handle them, THE ROUTER IS THE BROKEN PART.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
So you're saying that Froyo, WinMo, and other more powerful computing devices have additional functionality to deal with "fringe" features on select routers?

I am considering your explanation but you can understand how the explanation itself also might sound asinine to a layperson. I understand what DHCP servers do and how IP leases work.

My router is a newer Belkin model only a couple years old.

Edit: Because I am curious, I'll be looking into the router settings to see just what it is actually set at.

Edit 2: Yep, it's set to forever. Then again, I still can't understand why that is in your assessment considered a "bad" thing. And in my experience, it has never, NEVER been a problem with previous tech, over the years and years of wifi router use.

None of this explains or justifies why Gingerbread-based ROMs should suddenly lose this functionality. It is not like Android clients are going to change the face of what is a very common DHCP configuration among routers past and present (despite your sentiments). To me, moving from Froyo builds that can handle this to Gingerbread builds that cannot seems counterproductive for Google, as most consumers WILL NOT want to tweak their three to five year old routers that otherwise connect fine to every other computing device they can bother to try to connect with.

And like I said previously in this very thread... you can't exactly go into the back room of a Starbucks, the town library, or of local businesses, and demand they make a change to their DHCP lease configurations that for everyone else (oh! oh! oh! Including the well loved iPhone!) works without any issues whatsoever.

So I'm sorry, I'm not being a **** here, but what you're suggesting is an extremely large pill you are asking me to swallow, and it just seems like a prescription for a disease I do not possess.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
LOL, checked the router and found the problem.

Was that not covered in the thread as one of the issues/fixes?

Jeez.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmattar:
And you'll almost never have to, because 99.5% of routers are made to the spec I linked and won't give the type of lease that your router does. Surprising that there isn't a firmware upgrade available that changes the default on the router to not be infinite - may just be because you can do it yourself in the router setup, so they didn't bother.

The "infinite-lease" by router without client request situation is not specifically defined in the spec, which means it is not necessarily defined in all clients. What makes other devices work with this router is either

a) the other clients can/do request infinite-leases

b) the other clients happen to have a lease handler that accepts an infinite lease

But nothing in the spec says the client should handle an infinite lease if it did not request one. In the case of this particular gingerbread ROM, that handler is left out, which is a case of not coding defensively enough. -Great- code would handle that in a different way than re-scanning constantly. However, there is a difference between "great code" and "meeting specs". By specification technicality it is the router that is on the wrong side of this argument.

All it means is that both sides kind-of suck. And in this situation the sucky part you have control over is the router, unless Alterbridge releases a modified wifi config that can handle this case gracefully that it shouldn't have had to handle in the first place (but honestly should have anyway, because that's what great code does).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmattar:
It has been a good discussion - I feel it is definitely clearing up the details, and I've learned a few things myself while researching to make sure my dhcp knowledge is up-to-date and at least mostly factually correct.

The infinite lease merely stops the Lease Handshake from occurring. The lease handshake is a different communication altogether from DHCP [re]assignment. About the only time a DHCP assignment will happen is if DHCP settings change on the router between leases, and on the rare occasion it could happen that the Lease Handshake fails (like if one of the devices is unplugged or loses power momentarily) and a different device is connected and takes the IP, requiring a new one to be given to the other device. However, on your mostly stable/unchanging home network, this should happen pretty much never. The only case worth worrying about is if a power outage lasts long enough to span the lease expiring on multiple devices, they could reconnect and get different IPs each

I have been quoting from the RFC on DHCP. What your router is doing is not "full featured", it's "extra featured", which means not every device is going to support it, nor does it have to support it to be approved. If you look up "infinite lease" on google, you will see that essentially all documentation recommends against it. Another humorous link is to microsoft DHCP server software, which allows setting infinite leases (it is nowhere close to the default) but then begs you not to in the documentation!

However, since the spec does not explicitly state that a device should fail and retry the connection when an infinite lease is given, there really is no wrong method.

There is certainly a "more-appealing-to-users-desiring-full-compatibility" method. But again, when one device does something not explicitly defined in the specifications for ALL DHCP devices, it is just asking for other devices to be unable to connect to it.

As for this concern, I may be wrong, but I believe any public wifi with infinite leases will be broken 1/2 the time due to the allocated IP space being used up by devices that aren't even connected anymore. They'll be rebooting their router every few hours/days depending on how heavy their traffic is.

Almost all documentation warns against even setting your client to request infinite leases, or allowing your router to grant them

See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183602(WS.10).aspx

or: http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_DHCPLeasesLeaseLengthPoliciesandManagement-4.htm

or: http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2007/02/07/configuring-lease-time.aspx

Important Excerpts from above links:

Perhaps the most relevant one of all is here:

See quotes above. It is way more of a router problem than a client problem.

But, in the end, I do agree that a well-designed wifi driver -should- be capable of handling an infinite lease without failing and reconnecting endlessly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
After reading all that the morning you posted it, I agree with you even before the edit. I see your point.

And I'm glad you also seem to agree with me that it could have been more comprehensive.

I've since turned my lease to two weeks (the maximum increment other than infinite). Hopefully my printer will continue to sync up to the client software later on. I will admit that I partly blame HP and other printer manufacturers for using such a LAZY workaround for their wifi printing solutions.

I suppose in a few years from now it won't matter. I still haven't visited those three other networks I wanted to try Overcome's Gingerbread on. Not yet. Been extremely busy. In a few minutes I'll be heading to a Starbucks in another town, so it might happen.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabantotski:
Connection problems either WiFi or physical cable have all the same similarity, Manufacturer's problem and not the OS. If I remember it correctly, way back in the 90's, Modem manufacturer's would just produce hardware and doesn't even think about the end user that will use it. We used to trash WinMo for having so many hardware problem's without realizing that some of the hardware manufacturer's doesn't go by the standards when designing and writing device drivers.They'll just re-use the same design hardware and hoping that they could just re-write the device coding to make it work whatever OS the end user would be using.A well designed hardware makes a coder job fairly easy and would work easily with the end user without a hitch. Sadly, I have to admit that until to these days some manufacturers still have problems catching up every time we have a new OS and merging two OS on a router to make a connection is still a ***** for them.I hate to say it, but "Belkin" should join the club properly :).

Try it.. Simple

i can smile use this because wifi easy connect... use this

1. Install Wifi Static (download from Android Market)

2. Make sure your wifi is connect.

3. Open Wifi Static, and click all box.

4. Click (add configuration) and press button option at your tablet.

5. Now u can see Generate click it.

6. Now click at IP Address change it. example:

192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.100

7. Restart wifi.

it simple because can save configure and know

ip address/gateway/netmask/dns1/dns2

just changed ip address because you should use ip address no people take already.

easy to use at McD... or any Wifi
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.210:
I'm having the wifi issue too, with my gf's tablet.

Awkward thing is that my home router has no infinite lease for DHCP clients (it's on the default setting: 10080 minutes), but the P1000 wifi drops on once in (about) 10 seconds and reconnects back right away.

Not sure if it's important but I have set a specific LAN IP to be assigned to this tablet, as well as I have done for all the rest of the devices (all of them, cable or wifi are working and never had an issue) which connect to the internet through this router. I have also applied the SpareParts/BladeBuddy "fix", and the results are the same. Even tried to change wifi supplicant scan time to less than 1 min.. same result.

Basically, we can not use the wifi connection on this tablet since I flashed Overcome 4.1.0, but it was working flawless on Froyo and I can' wait for a fix to this problem.

PS:

1. I have done the full (wipe) install of the Overcome 4.1.0 on this device, as it used to run the stock 2.2 Froyo.

2. The "right away" reconnect does not happen if the tablet's screen is turned off. In this case, the wifi will show as turned on (in notifications area) but no wifi indicator on the status bar is present.
