[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
I don't know about YouTube specifically but I have noticed a significant difference in WiFi performance depending on what router I'm connected to. I have two routers in my home. One is an older SMC while the other is a nearly new Linksys E2500. Our two laptops seem to prefer the SMC router while our Droid 3's and our 2 Roku boxes seem to prefer the Linksys. I have no idea why that is but if I connect my Droid 3 to the SMC router it drops the connection a lot where with the LinkSys works fine. The same applies to the Roku boxes which is why I got the newer router in the first place. Like I said I have no idea why. Even sitting right next to the SMC with the Linksys about 20 feet away, the linksys still works better with the phone.

ClockworkMod Recovery

Ok, I noticed now my mistake probably is that I was missing an installed "ClockworkMod Recovery".

But: When I try to install CWM from within the ROM Manager (v.5.0.0.6, Premium) it only displays a choice of two models - "Samsung Epic4G" and "Samsung GalaxyS i9000" - in the list and not my model (Galaxy Tab EU) or any other model! :eek: What is going on there, why does ROM Manager Premium not display an array of other devices?:confused:

And is there any alternative way to download and install CWM on my Tab?

PS: The "Euro bootstrap recovery" app mentioned in other threads is not available anymore in the market either.

PPS: I also found this directory full of clockwork builds: http*//download.clockworkmod*com/recoveries/, which one of those would be right for the GT-P1000? The "recovery-clockwork-tab.img" & "*.zip" from 04-Jun-2011 17:37?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
The commonly known method is to restock according to Overcome 4.1 rom thread

Then install overcome kernel.

That gives you cwm recovery and it also converts your filesystem to ext4.

Then flash the cm9.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledgeworker:
Thanks priyana

Thanks priyana, that hint really made it for me!

Successfully made it through! :)

Now only the GApps don't show up even though I installed them. :(

Will browse the forum here and Google for solutions...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
reset to factory default and re-install gapps once more?

seems to happen now and then to some flashes
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledgeworker:
Hey priyana, I didn't update the thread, yes I'm done with that already!

A question though: Is it normal that the internal + external storage show "as one" drive or is the SD card actually not mounting on my Windows laptop? (I assume.)

The problem is, even though I activated UMS with the toggle, I can only put the data on the "12,8 GB" drive, from which I also installed GApps.

But it seems I can't install *.apk files from this location and I also have difficulties restoring my Titanium backup files from there (I put them in the TB subfolder).

So far my progress. I only want my backup back and mount my SD card, then I'm done.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
can't help you there yet. I am not yet on ICS :)

But in slimdizzy's latest built he confirms that both cards visible from windows.

remember one is on /sdcard (internal) and the other is /mnt/emmc (external) because that is CM standard.

One of these days I will follow you guys into ICS.

Tried once earlier before the wifi speed was fixed and didn't like it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledgeworker:
I mean looking from the Windows / PC perspective.

There, I have neither of those paths. :eek: I hope that is not unusual.

Another point maybe: As I can't use Kies now, how to manage music? I succeeded in putting videos into the "video" folder, but the same doesn't work for music files (in "Music" as *.mp3 files). Probably I'm lacking the basics (I self-teach them to myself ;)), so a link to a tutorial about all this is more than welcome. But as said, asides from restoring my backup (I'm still looking for a solution...) and the music issue, all is fine. I even managed to install the apps from within the internal storage with the pre-installed file-manager.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Dont know much about the kies and music.

For TB, there is a setting in there for backup folder.

Have you explore the options?

I can put my my backups anywhere and point TB to it and restore.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledgeworker:
Actually, now after

another restart

it did recognize both the music and the missing TB backup files! I'm really a bit sloppy. Now I'm actually restoring successfully. :)

Now I will only try to find how to remove a few apps (not selected for restore!) from the backup (job). Apps that I actually don't ever want to see on my tablet again.

I'm sure I'll be able to find out myself...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaveendsouza:
same problem

please help .... im new to this but having the same problem .n i didnt understand what is overcome n how will it solve this issue..please reply
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I have replied the same way many times in this forum too

Here goes again:

Overcome ROM is a GB 2.3.6 custom ROM based on Samsung ROM.

We use it a lot because:

1) it has very clear step by step fool proof way to "re-stock" your TAB in a good clean stock condition, upon which you can then install most ROM

2) its kernel, Overcome Kernel 4.0 comes in ODIN flashable and gives you a CWM Recovery 5.x, which is needed to flash other ROMs

3) When flashed, the kernel performs conversion(and support) of RFS filesystem to EXT4 which is better and faster filesystem. This is sometimes desirable.

Go to overcome site

http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/

Read the guide,

Missing pictures can be seen here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20974872

Follow the picture step by step.

But please read it many times until you get what it is saying.

Basically to restock:

Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.

Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1

Next step if you want, just continue following the guide.

Basically flash Overcome Kernel tar using ODIN, and it will reboot and converts your filesystem (you hear female robotic voice).

At the end of it, you get CWM recovery (access it while off : press volume-up and power button)

From CWM recovery you can flash any custom ROM you want.

You will find most of them ask you to flash from CWM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pike888:
currently i have i8000 and i'd like to buy an android phone. my favourite is nexus s (i am also considering an atrix 4G, but it's more expensive than nexus s - about 25%, and it's much harder to find where i live).

i have a few questions for nexus s users:

-how are you satisfied with your battery life, can it last the whole day with moderate use (1-2 hours wi-fi, 1-2 hours video, half an hour- 1 hour gaming, a little bit reading, a few short calls)?

-how does it work with graphically intensive games like shadowgun, backstab, 9mm...?

-can you normally play tegra games with chainfire, how is the performance?

-can you play mpg, flv, mkv videos?

-any other comment/opinion will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinos3:
-how does it work with graphically intensive games like shadowgun, backstab, 9mm...?

working with nice fps.. without laggs..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelnn:
It does all that, except maybe mkv playback (depends on quality).

But, if you don't have it yet, then don't buy it. I see no reason why you would get this phone in this day and age.

Most of us here have it for more than a half a year, when it was still competitive.

Now you could easily get a dual core phone for a reasonable price. Event the Galaxy S Plus would be a better choice.

Just saying... This phone is almost dead. It's towards the end of it's support period from Google, which hasn't been great so far and it's just hardware. It gets old.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pike888:
well, if it does all that it's good enough for me.

for various factors (price, availability, me not wanting an amoled screen), my choice is limited to these:

-nexus s - for now, it's more likely my next phone

-optimus 2x - horrible battery life

-incredible s - seems fine, but as i read, nexus s is a little better (and cheaper)

-se xperia arc - similar to incredible s

-atrix 4g - nice, but most expensive of the bunch, and pretty hard to find
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there are many video apks, free and paid, that play mkv video files.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalitza:
Nexus s

Battery life is good, it last a whole day with a moderate use if u use a custom rom+kernel (my case).

Performance is very nice for a single-core smartphone, it runs gta3, asphalt 6, 9mm, nfs shift, and overs very smoothly.

In general i'm really enjoying the nexus s.

1- I am satisfied with the battery life! but I would recommend rooting the nexuss and flash a new rom where you can customize the cpu and voltge.

2/3/4-I don't have a lot of games but for playing movies and videos it work great!

I just bought mine last month and I am very satisfied specially coming from an iphone 3gs! :)

Root it and it turns into a baby galaxy nexus
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pike888:
i've had a chance to try nexus s, and i wasn't impressed.

the phone isn't rooted, runs ics, everything is on stock.

-i tried browsing the web, and it was pretty fine.

-720p .mkv video (in mx player) is too choppy to watch.

-i downloaded two free games from the market - asphalt 6 and gameloft real football 2012.

asphalt 6 lags like hell. it was a slideshow, not more than 2FPS.

real football 2012 worked significantly better, but it wasn't playable too; every few seconds it slows down, and after a second or two, it starts working normally.

would rooting/custom rom&kernel improve situation significantly?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljordan2:
For graphic intensive games, my nexus s ran shadowgun, backstab, gta3, and samurai2. Except for gta3, they all run without a hiccup and damn smooth. But I've had some hiccups with gta3. Also running a custom rom and custom kernel is much more better than stock in every way.

PS : For videos try "Dice player" in market. It is the best video player for nexus s and even the dev of diceplayer owns nexus s.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Asphalt 6 runs smooth as butter on my stock 2.3.6. Something is horribly wrong with the phone you used.

I also recently got a "new" nexus S and I dont see anything wrong with it. No dual core phone was near the price and in my opinion nexus S is better than the likes of incredible S, xperia arc etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pike888:
and what do you think could be wrong with the phone i tried?

it couldn't be faulty hardware, right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexfiorani:
good phone

It's definitely a good phone for games. You can run games like asphalt 6, GTA 3, NFS or Counter strike portable whith high FPS (45-55). About the game 9mm, I wasn't able to play it because it was with to much lag, so much lag that was impossible to play. I'm in stock ICS. I do recomend that you buy a dual core phone if you're a gamming guy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Today I had some stutters in Asphalt 6 so maybe it has something to do with background processes. My homescreen had certainly grown with more widgets since the last time I played it.

But I agree if you are very serious about gaming then you may wanna consider something better. What I can tell you is that if nexus S cant play something smoothly then neither would any other single core phone since we have the best GPU of all single core phones.

You could look into samsung galaxy R or the upcoming galaxy S advance. Both phones have one weird limitation with gaming, you can only use 3.5GB for storage of games so you could potentially only have 4-5 HD games before that space maxes out doesnt matter if you have 32GB card. You have to root the phone to bypass this limitation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willemt158:
I have the same experience, runs very smooth when i turn off al other apps and widgets
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Don't use the market version of asphalt 6. Use the tegra 2 version instead coz I didn't get intensive lag afterwards.

Uncheck everything except "show debug console." That's it.

Boat browser could be the answer

I olso had problems with slow connektion, forceclose and no responding with Asus and dolphin and other browsers.I have playede with Android since the first HTC Hero and have tryed all browseres out there.. I realy like Dolphin. but it is slow. and just stop and forceclose without reason with my Tranformer.

Then someone in a Android forum in December toll, that "Boat browser" was very fast and without noticible bugs. After 2 month use I can tell that im totaly agree !

Boat browser is my first browser choice, and today I only use Dolphin when I need Google translate (as a plug-in)

Go and try Boat with our Transformer, I think, that you realy will like the speed and stability. Writing in forums is olso much better then the original and Dolphin browser- still not perfect... but better... I hope that ICS will fix this problem.

There is a secondbrowser from Boat callede Mini, but Im not sure where difference is...

Sure, Boat is very fast and users are giving it amazing 4.5 (!) total in Market, but it olso need more like plug-ins. The firm behind said that they will give us the option soon.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
I left my A100 in my purse in the car for a few hours. It was about -5C outside.

When I took my purse inside, and woke up my tablet, it started acting up.

The touch screen acted as if there were multiple touches at various places. Icons on the desktop would appear to be selected, and apps would open and close randomly.

Eventually it calmed down after warming up to room temperature.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is this a normal effect on capacitive touch screens?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] macmata:
Does not even need to be this cold... I left the tablet on the floor of my bedroom for the night, and the same thing append to me... ( the floor get cold during night... )
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
This is not suprising, all devices have a normal operating tempature and your lucky your device wasnt damaged. It would be the equivlant of sticking your phone in the freezer. If there was any humidity built up in your device it could have formed ice crystals on the internal components and wreaked havok.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sikesjb:
Similar to this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLklFnNSBhU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It has usually been in the mornings when acting this way. I thought we had this pinned as the digitizer, but it sounded rather familiar to my issue.

Edit: After a trip to the freezer for a couple minus, i can confirm the actions from my video are caused by the cold.

Guess i can call Acer back to cancel my work order.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] brianj1970:
My A100 used spaz out in the the exact same manner as shown in the above youtube video, the exact same area of the screen (lower right). When I say "used to", I mean it still happens from time-to-time but less often. I keep it on my office desk most the time now so it doesn't have wild changes in temps.

I actually somehow lost my 'system tray' from it spazzing out, I haven't been able to find a way to get it back, and am not interested in factory resetting it.

Originally I attributed it to my ZAGG screen protector messing with the touch detection. But it does seem to be attributed to temperature. However I've never left the thing outside in my car overnight in extreme cold.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sikesjb:
No, i never have left it outside freezing, and i only put it in the freeze for a minute to test it. Most of my occurrences are in the morning. Prolly 65 in the house, 40_50 outside. Go outside to read the news and drink coffee. Usually dies fine till i set it down for a few and come back to it. Doesn't have to be extreme cold it seems. I still believe it's digitizer related, but maybe only sure to cooler temps.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
It's funny you mention the system tray is hidden, because I swear the floor model at BB was like that, I think from swiping up and down on the home screen. I'll have to go back there and check it again.

Hey everybody.

I've been testing PDroid which in my opinion is better than LBE, because it gives me more control of my privacy.

I'm sharing a PDroid patch compatible with Rocket Rom v21 that I made moments ago.

It's very easy, just point the Windows version to your rom and it makes two patches, a new one and a restore.

Then flash with CWM.

PDroid-RESTORE-ROCKET-v21-LA4-eybee1970.zip

PDroid-v1.27-ROCKET-v21-LA4-eybee1970.zip

Flash the PDroid v1.27 file with CWM.

After just download the app from the market.
