I looked around and didn't see anything as specific as this, so I'll ask the question.

A lot of my notifications don't work 80% of the time, whether it's gmail, sms, or a game notification. All notifications are set to be on, but I have a theory. With Ice Cream Sandwich, there is the option to hold the back button on your phone and it will kill your app. I wonder if this might be a culprit. For instance, if I'm reading a text and hold the back button to kill the app, is it possible for that to kill the push notification as well? Granted it could be the ROM I'm using, but no one else on that particular forum has any problem like I've described. Does anyone have any ideas or has this happened on a regular basis? Most things I can live without, but if someone's trying to send me a text message, it might be hours before I think to check it and find out that hours before someone had sent me one.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
what rom? how did you flash said rom? Full wipe of data/cache/dalvik? did you restore ANY data or settings with tibu and if so which ones? to me this is sounding like a bad flash. back-to-kill will only take out the active application, notification and sms retrieval is a background process and not susceptible to that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] t4duzan:
The rom is The Collective's Redemption. I did do everything mentioned above and the only thing I used tibu for was to restore my apps, but not to restore phone settings. I haven't tried to reflash, and maybe that will be my fix. I still want to see if others might have had this happen to them.

Thanks for the suggestions Darunion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
Been running( mostly) Red for a couple of weeks. I have not seen that issue. The first flash of it did have some strange notification behavior. The contacts app would let me assign ringtones to individual contacts but would still play only the default ringtone when I got a call. Everything has been working properly since the second flash.

Sent using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] t4duzan:
Thanks Gato, I'll flash the new Alpha 8r3 and see if it corrects my problem. If not, I'll post back here.

Reflashing seems to have fixed any notification problems I had.

If you are getting the download screen then flash it with stock firmware.You can download from samfirmware.com for gt P1000, Android 2.3.6 is available. Just use Odin and flash. You can get a working tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royandrew:
Hey guy, I can't give you all links now...but I will help you! I think I can :)

Excuse my spelling too, I am Russian and English is not my native language.

Watch the team overcome.net website for restock bundle and overcome kernel.

There are some modems,from,Odin in the bundle. I am not very good in English,please read some instructions on flashing roms by Odin, I can't fully explain...

You just connect your tab to Odin via download mode and flash restock. And then you flash kernel. OK, you have a clean 2.3 rom, but I really want you to go to CyanogenMod download center and download the latest nightly build. (OK, I don't know how to access it :D I just go to Devices page, choose any phone, select NIGHTLY BUILDS link and search for p1 in the list and download the nightly and flash it.

Something you can find or can't.

After flashing kernel for restock go to recovery and do wipe user data/factory reset and wipe cache. The system will startup then. Without this you'll get an infinite boot.

The overcome kernel will convert your file system. Please wait for it when your tab is charged and is booting. A robogirl will talk to you then

After flashing CM wipe it too!

Download GApps on goo.im to have Market and other Google apps! (Flashing via recovery)

I think that is all. If you have problems,send me a message, I'll try to help! Good luck!

You have indeed sofbricked your tab.

There you can find a direct link for the file "GB-stock-safe_v5.zip".

This contains the needed firmware and Odin tool to flash it.

Follow the soft brick guide given by gogol1996 with the content of the zipfile and you're back in business.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
No such thing as a "soft brick". It just a term that newbies like to throw about for any occasion they haven't flashed device correctly and dont know how to use download mode or recovery to get their OS back up and running.

Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. If you can use download or recovery, it isnt.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Here we go again.

What about if you can get to download mode but the internal flash is stuffed?

A few guys here got that. Not a brick?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Ok sorry, edited. If you can "use" download/recovery its not bricked.

99.9% of times the term "soft brick" is used though its simply that the user doesn't know how to use download mode and they have screwed up rom flash/kernel, get no boot or just boot loop etc and cant use recovery.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I like your original definition else where that says it is not bricked as long as you can flash it.

But that is obvious.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony98:

Depending on your luck.

Some people can go to download mode but flash keep failing due to damaged internal SD.

That usually only happens though when you are flashing via USB and you lose power or pull cable early etc, ie pull handbrake when flooring it :D

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
It's all semantics. My Tab's internal storage isn't working anymore, yet at this very moment it's running Jellybean quite happily. So it's not useless, even though the hardware (one part anyway) is broken, it's still working (or rather, working again).

To put the record straight: it's not possible to repair the internal storage and it's not possible to run a ROM (any ROM) on the internal storage, the best you can do is to swap storages and use the external storage as internal storage. I tried it with a class 4 16 GB cars, but that was frustratingly slow. Then I tried a class 10 32 GB card, and it's now running at an acceptable speed.

To do this you used to have to modify some files in the ROM, or with ADB, but thanks to developer jt3114 it's now easier. You need to install a CM10 nightly, you need to partition the card, and you need to create a called activate_data_on_sdcard on the card. Flash the nightly, and the Tab should work again.

I was running Windows, so I used Minitool Partition Wizard to partition the extrnal SD card: 1. /SDCARD, 25 GB, primary, FAT32, 2. /DATA, 4 GB, primary, Ext4, 3. /CACHE, the rest of the space (less than 1 GB), Ext4. You could also use Linux to partition the card, since it obviously knows Ext4. The Tab, with internal storage damaged and internal and external storage swapped, runs the latest CM10 nightlies just fine from that card. Since the card will be used as its internal storage I purchased a class 10 32 GB card when it became clear the internal storage was broken. I tried it with a class 4 16 GB first, but that was frustratingly slow. The class 10 is doing a nice job.

My Tab still has its internal storage, but it's not working anymore (most of the times). I haven't removed it like you did, but I don't think that matters. I formatted the external card differently according to instructions from jt1134 I found on Rootzwiki. I used a 32 GB card, and I created 3 partitions: 1. /SDCARD, 25 GB, FAT32, primary, 2. /DATA, 4 GB, ext4, primary, 3. /CACHE, rest of the space, ext4, primary. I put an empty file named activate_data_on_sdcard on the card, booted into recovery, and saw the card, I didn't have to do anything special.

jt1134 mentioned in his post that the FAT32 partition needs to be the first partition. It worked for me, so hopefully that will do the trick.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
I've just tried it again with nightly cm-10-20121123-NIGHTLY-p1.zip. I placed it, gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, and activate_data_on_sdcard on the sdcard. Then I powered off the Tab. I powered it on, keeping the Power on, and Volume up buttons pressed, and ended up in Recovery v6.0.1.9. Here I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache (advanced menu).

Then I selected menu Install zip from sdcard. In this menu I selected Choose zip from sdcard. (Option Choose zip from external sdcard resulted in error message E: Can't mount /external_sd/.) Pressing Choose zip from sdcard did work, it prompted me to Choose a zip to apply, and displayed the content of /sdcard/. The 11/23 nightly showed up, so I selected it. The screen cleared and showed Installing: /sdcard/cm-10-20121123-NIGHTLY-p1.zip, and Installing update... The progress bar filled up, and I saw Install from sdcard complete.

I selected menu Choose zip from sdcard again, and this time selected and installed gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip. I once again saw Installing update..., and Install from sdcard complete.

I went back to the main menu, and selected Reboot system now. The Tab booted, and after a while the spinning CyanogenMod logo faded, the screen cleared, and I saw Optimising app 142 of 142, Starting apps, and Finishing boot. The install had finished, I unlocked the Tab and SIM card, and the home screen appeared. System setting About tablet showed I was running the 11/23 nightly.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
There was no need to edit anything. The first time I had to install a new CM10 nightly because the internal storage was starting to fail, I was running CM7. I tried to restock, but that failed because the cache couldn't be mounted. I then installed the Overcome kernel, so I could install a Rom from Recovery. After this was done I formatted the sdcard, and created a file named activate_data_on_sdcard on the sdcard. Then I put the ROM and JB gapps on the sdcard, and installed a recent CM10 nightly that had jt1134's hack.

During earlier experiments I sometimes saw an error message claiming the assert had failed, so in these cases I removed the assert lines from updater-script, but most of the times this wasn't needed.

Today I installed the latest 10/23 nightly on my Tab that was already running an earlier CM10 nightly that was just a couple of days old (I update often). Updating CM10 to the latest nightly is the same as on normal devices, I wipe the caches, install the nightly, install gapps, and reboot. No other actions are necessary.
