[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
Hello guys!

I am coming from the XDA Droid X2 forums. I've never owned a tablet and I am planning on making this, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, my first tablet.

Given that I own a Motorola Droid X2, I am taking several precautions to ensure that my next purchase isn't a giant pain in the ass. So, firstly, I would like to ask you guys if you recommend this tablet or if there is any other 7 inch tablet that you feel is better than this.

Do you think this is the best 7 inch tablet and that I am making the right decision? Do you think I should wait for the Galaxy Tab 7.7? I don't want to buy it if it is significantly costlier than this one.

Are there any hardware or software quirks with this device? On my Droid X2, there is one, presumably hardware, issue which causes problems with music playback. We frequently get music stutters. Are there any such minor or major problems on this device that may be potential deal breakers?

Secondly, is this device's bootloader unlockable? I know it is rootable. Can we put custom ROMs on it? Does it have ICS, either in official form or in unofficial ROM form, may be CM9? Is Samsung planning to upgrade this to ICS?

Overall, are there any quirks I should be aware of about this tablet, or in general about Android tablets? This being my first Android Tablet purchase, I dunno if there are any caveats in choosing Android Tablets over iPads.

I am very sorry for this huge post. Please bear with me and reply to as many queries as possible.

Thank you very much in advance. Hoping to be a part of this community! :D :cool:

Theres a custom kernel and Clockworkrecovery mod so i think the bootloader is unlocked. Some people experience SOD's, which may be caused by the wifi and samsung did not include the wifi driver in the source code so it's going to be hard to fix.

I've been lurking this forum for a while, because i'm also thinking about buying this tablet but the Sod and wifi problems are keeping me from buying this tablet. I'm still thinking about it though.

I think slow sd cards are also causing sod. I'm not sure though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
Can you elaborate on the SOD and WiFi problem? What does SOD stand for?

I am also looking at the 8.9 inch Tablet. What do you think about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mohawkx:
I've had the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus for a couple months now. It has proven to be everything I'd hope it would be and more. I've never had a SOD. I've never had it get hot. I've never had any WiFi problems with it. It connects instantly at the Community center, the library and at the fitness center; also at home and all down the street. I have B&N app and the Kindle app and read a lot. I get Time mag loaded on it no problem and read it when I go to lunch. So far 4 other people have made the 75 mile trip to Best Buy to get one based on seeing mine in action. I got a dongle that converted the output to HDMI and do flawless streaming to my home TV for all the stations I used to pay for. Canceled my satellite dish and save 50.00 a month. The tablet will pay for itself. I got skype and when I talk to my son and daughter in law in Washington, DC I get to see them. It's a grandfather's dream machine. This is my first tablet.

I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
The one thing I am concerned about this tablet is the lack of good ROMs. But the 1.2 GHz processor (and the fact that it is NOT tegra 2) and the SD card sound like a good deal to me...

I am wondering, if I buy the WiFi version of this tablet at best buy, and I experience issues, will I be able to return it and get a different tablet (as in different model)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mohawkx:
Don't know what different models Best Buy might have to try but I do know that Best Buy give a full return within 14 days. I think Amazon gives 30. They have them for the same price and you may save tax. Amazon is no questions asked on returns. I played tablet roulette, getting a fire from Walmart, a Nook Tablet from B&N and a galaxy tab 7p from Best buy. I tried them all and returned the other two for full refunds. The Galtab 7p was head and shoulders above either of the others and it was money well spent, IMO.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

What's the big deal with ROMS? What is it you'd want to do with it that a stock tab can't already do? I do know that ICS for the Tab plus will be released shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
Right now my only worry is the SOD and WiFi issues some people claim this tablet has.

Since you've probably been on this forum a lot of time, do you believe that this is a particularly widespread issue or something more sporadic indicating a bad unit rather than a key fault in the Galaxy tab 7.0 plus?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
Btw, guys, do you know what the difference is between the Exynos SoC found in Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus versus the Tegra 2 on Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bdds13:
Here is the unofficial thread on sleep of death (SOD)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386785

You'll be able to see that theres a few posts complaining about the SOD. The kernel dev Garyd9 has been trying to fix it. There are a few work arounds to prevent SOD. People say auto airplane mode helps to prevent it.

The difference between exynos and tegra is basically that exynos has a gpu ARM Mali-400 (which is supposed to be better) and i believe that it also has dual-channel ram while tegra has a single channel ram.

I believe that exynos is better. I had a viewsonic g tablet and it has nvidia tegra 2 w/ 512mb of ram and it was mostly smooth, but it had some weird type of lag sometimes. Where it really had problems was with adobe flash. Sometimes it would just not want to play cetain videos or it would just close the browser suddenly. The viewsonic g tablet had lots of roms and i tried out about every single one, but it still had problems like that, so i think it had to do with nvidia tegra or maybe it was just that tablet. From what I hear exynos smokes nvidia tegra.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litetaker:
Thank you all for your help. I have decided to purchase the galaxy tab 8.9 since I felt that this is just way too small, when I saw it at Best buy.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this tablet. Cya later!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] melcali:
cool. The 8.9 was my second choice when i first got my 7 plus only because of screen resolution. But didn't want another tegra 2 tablet.

IMO tegra is overrated

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macqueyl:
For my apps, I use Appbrain & FastWeb Installer to install apps from one phone to another. Both are free in the Market & they work together, kinda like an app cloud. To save the actual .apk files to my micro sd card & re-install or use the files on a different phone, I use App Backup & Restore, another Market free app. If you are rooted, Titanium Backup will backup everything: apps, data & settings. Hopefully this helps.

You may need to mount /system rw before you install. Get an app called Remount from Market (free) & use it to mount /system rw. Then try installing the apps you're having installation problems with.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BestInGalaxy:
So just recently, I noticed that whenever a call ends, the screen remains black and the proximity sensor is still on (red). I've tried pressing the unlock/lock button, but nothing happens. I know the call has ended because I hear the 'ring' that it makes. I've tried it with and without "The power key ends calls", no difference. I have not flashed anything different recently. The only solution I found was to hold down the power button until it restarts, but when someone calls, I have to repeat the process all over again. It was never like this until today. Does anyone know of a solution?

I'm currently on UnNamed 1.3.2 with Entropy's 1/2/12 DD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] knimrod:
I'm currently having the same problem with the stock (rooted) ROM... Occasionally after a call, the next time I try to activate the screen, it just stays blank. Sometimes after a call, it's similar to what you described with the end button call staying red and the screen frozen. I have to hold down the on button for 5-10 seconds to reboot the phone. This phenomenon just started about a week ago. The phone has been working flawlessly until then.

I thought that maybe it's some app update gone astray.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BestInGalaxy:
I forgot to mention that I found the culprit, it was my screen protector. I had ordered one of SGP's screen protectors since a lot of people were saying it was good, but when it finally arrived, I noticed that it was very sticky and had covered over the proximity sensor. Over the coming days, the screen protector attracted dust due to it's stickiness when I put it in my pocket. You can probably guess what happened, dust was covered over the area of the proximity sensor, causing it to malfunction like that, but after I took it off, all was well, and now I'm rocking my phone half naked - case but no screen protector. I think I'll leave it like that from now on, gorilla glass feels and looks awesome :rolleyes:

Okay, have a question.

I was wanting to port my number to T-Mobile and keep my sprint service (giving the phone to my bro). How would I be able to port my #over without an etf?

Thanks in advance :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
You can't port your number over without paying the etf.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you want to keep sprint and port your # you will need to add a line port your number and cancel that line and keep the other line and then swap the evo to it you may be able to get out of the etf by talking nice to a csr but you'd have to get lucky, my dad just switched to att and ported his # with no etf and kept our other 3 lines on sprint

We are legion, for we are many
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Talked in the sprint chat. Apparently, if you recovery the account within 45 days, the ETF will be waived. So, therefore, if this works, I'll be able to go to tmobile. I have the email of the conversion if you wanna see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
They let my dad take his # to att with no etf cuz he left the other 3 lines on sprint and he had just renewed his lines contract when he upgrade phones in August or Sept when the et4g came out if you talk to em nicely and get a decent American based Rep you usually get what u want the Indian call center wont do **** tho so if u get connected to a foreign callcenter hang up and call back or request to be xfered to an American based call center I always request a domestic call center simply cuz I don't trust someone in a foreign country to not use my info for something shady and then you have less legal options since they are out of American jurisdiction

We are legion, for we are many
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
During this chat, the rep also put a note on my account so that the transition would be easier. So I'm going to Tmo Friday attempting the port. An etf should occur, then I'll go into sprint and recover the account with a new number.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chaoscreater:
I'm on the latest nAa kernel, using MiniCM7-2.1.9, but wifi just doesn't work. I can browse the internet using my 3G connection, just not wifi for some reason.

Wifi shows it's connected, the signal bars is full but it just doesn't download any data, it's like it's not connected at all. It's able to get an IP address and the link speed is good but it just doesn't get any data.....

I've tried searching through different posts and tried solutions such as:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21766413&postcount=498

as well as the instruction to fix wifi in the Troubleshooting page here:

http://code.google.com/p/minicm/wiki/Troubleshooting

and this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22170822&postcount=817

I also cleaned the dalvik cache by going into recovery, reboot and still doesn't work.

and they all don't work....

UPDATE:

OK nvm it works now. I reflashed the kernel, wipe data & factory reset and then reflash the rom, and now it works. It's the exact same thing I did for the past 30 mins, except this time I also reflashed the kernel. I just hope it'll continue working.....

UPDATE 2:

Ok, now it's not working again. I rebooted the phone twice, and it was able to connect to wifi no problem. But then later on it stopped working again, I didn't install or change anything either.

I also noticed that whenever I'm connected to wifi on my phone, the wifi on my PC will timeout and drop connection. If I then try to connect wifi on my PC, then the wifi on my phone will timeout. Basically, I can't connect both at the same time.

But all my other devices work fine. My Motorola Milestone and my mom's HTC Desire Z works fine. My iPod Touch works fine, I've NEVER had a wifi issue with any of my devices until I tested out my new Xperia X10 Mini Pro today.......

I haven't tried testing it on stock rom & kernel, because the first thing I did was to unlock the bootloader and flash the nAa kernel + MiniCM7-2.1.9. And I can't be bothered flashing back to stock since I won't be staying on stock anyway, especially after setting up everything already so I can't really be bothered.....

Anyway, so I then tried to delete wpa_supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi (as mentioned above) and this time it shows "Error" under Wi-Fi settings.

This is really annoying me....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jccz:
One note about wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). In stock kernel with MiniCM Pro from paul-xxx the right ctrl_interface was wlan0.

nAa kernel (with MiniCM from nAa) needs tiwlan0.

So it isn't necessery to delete file with all wifi networks when changing kernel/ROM but one value in config file.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chaoscreater:
ya, except the value was tiwlan0 already, I tried changing it back to wlan0 and nothing happens. So then I tried deleting it, and now whenever I try to turn Wifi on it just shows Error.

What's actually strange about this is that I've backed up the original file, and when I restored it and tried to turn Wifi on, it turns on but doesn't display any network.

Before, it would display tons of networks, and it would connect to my router (but doesn't download data for some reason). It doesn't work but at least you can tell it's able to detect networks.

Now, it doesn't even show any networks. The only way to fix this is to restore from recovery or do a wipe......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chaoscreater:
Ok so I did some research and could this be the case?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwYOtf4fI0Q

I've also tried to assign static IP but it still doesn't work. I went into my router and checked the ARP, and it shows this:

where 192.168.1.6 is assigned to my phone. I'm not that good with router stuff but know the basics, does anyone know what I need to configure?
