Did you try any other rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Deleted member 2879886:
Isn't the GT-P7510 a WI-FI only model and you say its a Telus which would be GT-7500 with 3g?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dantexaiver:
No joke the box says it is a 7510
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Guess it could be a Telus branded WI-FI only 7510 tab.

If it's actually 3g, or whatever they like to call their carrier service, and you can use their carrier service or anything other than WI-FI only. Then it's actually a 7500.

It could be some other crazy hybrid I've noticed being posted about lately other than GT-P7500 & GT-7510.

I'd check the back of the tab at the bottom and confirm what model you have before continuing to try to root.

Kinda hard to read, being so small and almost the same color of the tab, but the model number there is what I'd trust, at least more than the box.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dantexaiver:
I can confirm the lable on the outside and the information in side the about phone menu say GT-P7510

since I can not get CWM to work with out that crazy screen scrolling all over the place, is it possible to take a rom zip and extract the files and use odin?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Good luck finding a good ROM that is for a 7510 that supports anything other than WI-FI ONLY.

Of course if it is WI-FI ONLY I'd suggest Task 14.

Overcome ROMs have both 7500 & 7510 version so support may be a lot easier to get and more forthcoming there if it's anything more than WI-FI ONLY.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bastic:
Hi,

I had a quick look on forum and couldn't find similar thread so apologies if I missed one...

I have a problem with internet connectivity over WiFi and 3G.

Phone simply doesn't always check for emails when in standby(connections go to 'sleep') and when I wake it up, icons of connections (wifi 3g) are grey - now I know that it only means that google services are not connected but then google sync is off, Im not getting emails to my gmail account.

at the same time Im not getting any other mail from my exchange account so it looks like like it looses whole connection.

only way to get it back is to switch wifi on/off depending if it was on/off. after that, emails are synced...

bigger problems is when this leads to not receiving txt's and phone calls!! it does not happen all the time like with internet but it happens...

I have done full reset of the phone but this fault is still here...

any ideas ???

Would I be better off in contacting samsung or O2 ?

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] movalpolos:
Have you restored any system data with Titanium Backup or similar app? I was having the same problems a long time ago, grey bars and not receiving email with auto sync, then realized that restoring system data was the culprit. If your phone is completely stock and has this behavior then I'd say take it back to O2.

took it back to O2.

got it back today...they have left bootloader unlocked and phone is back to 4.0.1 :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
+1

Each ROM is customised differently with different features. Basically stay stock if you do not know what features you want.

DO NOT flash a any ROM until you have backed up your EFS folder (google hint = IMEI).

If you ask what is your EFS folder you are not ready for a non stock ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
On most proper instructions for flashing a rom, EFS backup step is compulsory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trak-X:
If you really need a reason to stay on stock:

1. You need to get used to the phone.

2. You never flashed SGS until now.

3. You have not read anything the other forum colleagues gave you.

4. You did not even tried to search the forums before posting this.

5. You might brick the device and then get back here and complain.

Need more? Sorry, but before posting you, and others that want everything on a plate, should use search and read everything posted here.

The "Galaxy S I9000 General" section clearly says: Discussion about the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (tips & tricks, etc)

Every custom rom has a "How To" section in the OP. Also, every rom has a "What to do in case of" section. So you can try it on your own. There were cases in which the owner hardbricked the device in the first 45 minutes after he received it. So be careful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeon44:
i don't know what EFS even mean.

i'm just lazy to read all of it and there's not much i can understand.

so maybe you're all right that i stay with the stock firmware.

my phone still hasn't arrived, i'll just post here again what firmware it has and how should i update it.

btw, one more thing, so custom ROM's acts like a customized Android firmware, is that right?

and thanks for everyone who replies here and gives me their advices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
good reason to not Flash a Custom Rom

Lazy will = soft bricked or worse Hard bricked phone

Based on your above statement about being lazy i would agree

dare i say it and get flamed you should use Samsung Kies to get the latest Firmware available for your handset. If Kies says no newer updates available and you want a newer ROM you will have to get un-lazy and READ

Yes
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeon44:
lol.

nice, you really chopped off my post to reply to every single one of them.

keep that up.

Samsung Kies are the official firmwares?

will Android 4 (ICS) ever come to SGS(1)?

btw, what happens if i didn't backed up my EFS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
Samsung Kies will provide the official Samsung or carrier branded Firmware/ROM for your handset

This has been covered on many threads/forums. Samsungs stance is that the hardware in the SGS 1 can not run with Touchwiz on top of ICS

Again many this has been covered on many threads relating to flashing ICS ROMS in particular. Flashing can result in the IMEI number being over written Your IMEI is stored encripted in a file contained in the EFS folder (IMEI = unique number that identifies your handset on the mobile networks) and then not being able to make or recieve phone calls in extreme examples to random apps downloading from google play or not able to access google play at all.

For more info on this i strongly suggest that you google "backing up EFS folder" and "backing up IMEI"

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeon44:
but there's a custom ROM that has been leaked that looks like Android 4 (ICS).

will there be a Android 2.4?

i never knew that Android needs a lot of work compared to iOS where it just needs to be jailbreak for you to have the freebies and to be open source.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
Iphones run on a common HARDWARE

Android have many different versions of hardware ie Samsung, HTC etc etc etc

Each android phone requires the base code of Android to be customised with device specific drivers etc hence the difference between Android and Iphones.

Your wording is exactly that "CUSTOM" meaning not a Samsung ROM.

As stated before Samsungs stance with the SGS 1 is that they will not release ICS for the handset as there is not enough available RAM (memory) for ICS and their Touchwiz apps

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrodefeld:
Hello,

I love the Epic 4g Touch but I am getting beyond frustrated with the Sprint service. I am feeling more and more like I should have waited a couple months and gotten the Galaxy Nexus instead. The problem is not that I don't love the phone I have or that the Nexus hardware is better, but I just feel like the Verizon network is light years ahead of Sprint. I chose Sprint because I had already been waiting for the Galaxy S2 for many months and I expected Sprint coverage and speeds to be better. I also originally expected the Galaxy S2 to come to Verizon last fall.

I just didn't want to wait. However, the usability of this phone is coming into serious question with the poor network performance. Call quality is decent, but internet speeds are pretty bad. Plus, there are numerous spots where I lose internet altogether. The speeds fluctuate wildly and it is very rare that I can get decent speeds for an extended period of time.

This means that most apps become difficult to use. I can't stream video or audio without it being horribly choppy. Web browsing can be frustrating as well.

If I could get any 4g service where I live, the speeds would be fast enough. But I only can get 3g service nearly everywhere. Not only that, but since WiMax is outdated, it is unlikely they will be expanded coverage and instead rolling out LTE coverage across the country. Thus, it is unlikely that the situation will improve in the future.

It seems to me that I had my priorities out of order when I decided to get this phone. I was looking only at the hardware and didn't pay nearly enough attention to the network speeds and reliability of the coverage.

So, do you think I should switch to Verizon? I understand that the Nexus hardware is remarkably similar to the Epic 4g Touch.

Is there a way to get out of my Sprint contract without paying a large amount of money to be let out early? Is there some loophole or method to voiding the contract somehow?

And, if I DID decide to go with Verizon, do you think it would be wise to go with the Nexus, or should I wait for the next super phone to come to Verizon? Do you anticipate that the Galaxy S3 will launch on Verizon?

So, do you all think I am overreacting to the network problems? For those who have switched, is the network improvement on Verizon vs Sprint dramatic and worth it for you?

I still haven't made a final decision on this, but trying to use my phone on the go has become more and more frustrating of late. I cannot stream video reliably or use many apps without frustration due to poor coverage and wildly fluctuating internet speeds.

Please advise me on what you would suggest.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larry2513:
I'm in almost the Same situation, I'm going to wait it out because as they update to lte it is my hope that it Will increase my 3g speeds with tower upgrades. Sprint is still the best deal for me with 4 phones and I just use wifi at home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
im getting pretty frustrated also. 3g speeds are horrible. 4g works well but is so spotty here. works in one place, 5 feet away, its disconnected lol.

i wnt be switching as i have a $400 deposit from Verizon lol. And I do enjoy having no data caps, which comes in handy when downloading roms and music right from the phonr when I do get 4g coverage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fuhrer24:
no, and here is why

limited data sucks a big fat one, i cannot survive on limited data, that is the only reason you need
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
To answer your question, yes, there are ways to get out of your contract that will *probably* by ETF free. If you find yourself roaming too much, Sprint will kick you off their network, normally without an ETF. Do a forum (or Google) search to learn more about people being kicked off Sprint for roaming.

Whether or not you want to switch to Verizon is up to you. Yes, you will likely notice significantly increased data speeds. I notice that when I'm roaming, my data speeds are far more consistently "usable" than when I'm on Sprint's native network. The reason I haven't switched is twofold... First, Sprint is cheaper, and because I spend 90% of my time connected to WiFi somewhere. When I'm not on WiFi and experiencing slow network speeds, I use Roam Control. The second reason I haven't switched is because Verizon does not work in some areas that I travel to frequently. I'm sure its a rarity nationwide, but I happen to fall into the category of going places that Verizon doesn't (or doesn't reliably, anyway).

So, if data speed is your only concern, you will likely be happier with Verizon. But the faster the data speeds, the more you use, which means you might need to pay for more bandwidth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
I've had this same thought for so long but Sprint customers are so close to them finally getting their Network Vision upgrades complete and LTE rolled out that i don't want to leave until I see if they are right or full of crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrodefeld:
Thanks for the responses,

I am really leaning towards switching. I just have a couple more questions.

Could you guys elaborate on how I can get out of my Sprint contract without paying anything? Is it very difficult to do?

Second, exactly how limiting do you think the data caps are? When I am on the network, I could see it not being very difficult to refrain from downloading massive files. I could see myself generally only downloading larger files at home with wifi and only web browsing or streaming video or audio on the road.

I just am not sure how limiting the data cap would be. On the whole, however, I think the slow data speeds on Sprint are much more limiting than a data cap that I would hardly ever reach.

How easy is it for you to reach the data cap? Also, I heard if you pay a little more, you can get twice the data each month. How much extra is that and is it worth it?

And I asked this question in my original post but no one has responded yet. If I DID choose to switch, would it make sense to get the Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next great phone to come to Verizon?

Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitro_c4:
My 3G speeds were slow when I first got this phone (no 4G here), but since then it has gotten better and better. I think the speed is awesome now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Don't any of you guys utilize roam control and swapping PRLs? I too was leaning toward dropping Sprint because of their horrible 3g speeds, they were more like 1x constantly. Don't forget fellas we do roam on Verizon for free, so for the OP I would recommend downloading roam control, swapping your PRL to 1115 and giving that a try prior to cancelling your contract. Then if you still cant live with the speeds, then I would just use roam-control to roam,roam,roam until you get kicked off ETF free. Just my suggestion...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
yeah thats the only way i survive but I only get 1x data. im gonna have to load a diff prl, wasnt aware of that! thanks gonna try it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:

i had verizon then i switched to sprint because of how expensive they are but i did like there service and signal. I would think about switching back to verizon if they lowered there prices which i doubt they would.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
Why don't you just switch so we don't have to waist time and space on threads like this, Sprint is going through upgrades right now and it's gonna be hit and miss with service if your in a shady area. Sprint has a lot of plus to their service right now, like the no data cap. I don't think it's fair to compare this company to a giant like Verizon, they have come a long way since taking over Nextel and their crappy service....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Have you tried different modems and ROMs? Not sure what to do tbh. I think they'll charge you early termination fees which can cost quite a lot. And I would go with the Nexus. The GS3 probably won't come out for awhile in the US since I hear it will be released internationally first. And the S2 took like 5 months to come to the US after international so yeah.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I was on Verizon and switched to Sprint the day they started throttling the unlimited data they sold me to the point it was unusable. After repeatedly complaining to corporate and the BBB, the etf was waived.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chickn484:
Sprint is cheaper and no data limits. These are 2 huge factors for keeping me. Yeah they have limited 4G now but as soon as LTE rolls out, could be much better.

Don't be a d@&k.

Back on topic. I've been with sprint for 10 years. They just decided to dump me for to much roaming data. ( Prl 11115 and roam control). I had to use it. Data out here if any was painfully slow. Oh well, Im headed to at&t for the note :-)
