Downloaded OTA but I've got stuck 3 times on 19 percent when installing. Says update failed. Any ideas on how to fix this? Do not have access to Kies via computer. Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] oryan_dunn:
After a while playing with this, it's like Samsung delivered a new tablet to me. I didn't even have to factory reset like I did after the Amaze ICS update. Everything is so smooth. In the Moviefone app, HD4p trailers play perfectly, whereas on HC they were a slideshow (tested with the Bourne Legacy trailer before & after update). To be honest, if it stays this fast, and new killer apps don't require JB, then I'm happy with this at ICS. If Android tablets launched with ICS instead of HC, the marketshare numbers would be much different, I think.

Only thing I'm waiting for now is a Facebook app that works (can anyone else confirm that it doesn't show timeline pages on tablet? But same version on my phone does, odd). Saw an article that FB employees were being forced to use Android devices instead of iOS devices so they can see all the bugs first hand.

Edit: looks like the Google search bar is Google only, not universal. FU*CK Apple!

Anyone else having trouble flashing through Odin? I keep getting stuck at system.img. I'm coming from CM10 preview, but I wiped data beforehand. Even tried reflashing CWM, booting into it, wiping data again along with cache and dalvik. I'm using the PDA option in Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
You're not the first to mention that.... I think I read 1-2 reports earlier in this thread, or the "official ICS ..." thread. I believe they just tried another usb port, and or pc reboot, and or Samsung usb driver reinstall
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
Rebooted and used a rear port. Good to go now. Thanks for the tip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] varun.c.jain:
I bought the Tab 8.9 in Switzerland recently... am fairly well informed about working around Android devices... updated the firmware on my stock Honeycomb to the US ICS release via Odin... no issues in the process, and the tablet came up smart and zippy running ICS... even got the Play Movies/Books/Music app which normally doesn't feature in devices sold outside USA... although not much use of them unless I use a VPN service...

the problem is that as soon as I lock the device, or the screen times out, on trying to unlock the device I am met by a garbled unworkable screen... there is no option but to hard-reboot the device to get it working again... somebody is having the same issue here, but I can't post in Development forums... have tried reflashing and all, but its always the same thing... even with stock USA Honeycomb its the same behaviour... is there a region limitation to this firmware for proper functionality?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gatt088:
Same issue here.. As whit every usa stock based version... I have bricked my tab 2 times, i will appreciate that this issue will be mentioned in new threads as not every xda member is from usa. No problems with jb aosp and cm based version. Waiting for some european stock version
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
But it doesn't happen to every non-usa tablet. Several users in Europe have flashed the USA Rom with no problem. My tab was bought in Greece, while on holiday. Since then I have Odin flashed HC meant for India, and ICS for USA.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] brookheather:
I flashed my UK tab last night with the US firmware and did a full reset - working fine and much much better than before with HC.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pedrotorres:
so many different feedbacks

I'm starting to chicken out... maybe I'll wait for the official update via OTA for Europe... damn you sammy! move your asses!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sporttster:
Does this update do anything to improve the absolutely horrid charge times??? Man I sure hope so.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
what are horrid charge times for you?

i go from 0% to 100% in about 5 hours which is perfectly normal for all tabs.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
It should take about 3 hours to charge. 2 Amp charger and a 6100 mAh battery => 6.1 Ah / 2 A = 3.05 hours ignoring any power used to keep the thing running, imperfect charger, etc. I've never timed mine but it's in the 3-4 hour range, I think. Drain yours to/close to 0%, turn it off, charge it to full, and time it. If it takes longer than 4 hours, my first guess is you have a bad charger or a bad battery. I'd look at getting it fixed or replaced.

PS Don't bother charging over USB. It only puts out .5 A, so you're looking at 4x the time to charge. Ouch.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pedrotorres:
USB charging is terrible indeed!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] oryan_dunn:
When I connect via USB, it puts an x on the battery, which I assume means it's not charging. Is there a setting to make it charge (however slowly it may be) over USB?

Or has it solved maybe already somehow?

Access to my 5GHz WLAN access point is not working any more :(

Same as on my wife's 10.1 SGT
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] oryan_dunn:
If those apps install on a factory reset, can you pull them from the tablet itself to install them? I'd like to get swype, the live wallpaper packs, and media hub installed (just to look around on it). Also, what does the app WWF_android do?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] AndyClough:
I cannot see a USA version on SamMobile, I take it's the GT-P7310 - Cellular south that I need to flash to my UK tab if i was so inclined to do so via ODIN?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
I've read about this a few times on the 10.1 forum, right after the ICS release for that device

I couldn't find the exact posts I read then, but this seems to be the same. Or it can get you in the right direction...

Thanks for the swift reply :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
I think this was a mistake. The ROM does seem to have that issue.

Before I was on this stock ROM, I was on the ICS-p7510 port by kaltt_kaffe. On that ROM, I applied a fix, that essentially changes some file permissions in /data. That fix survived the Odin install of this ICS ROM. But I believe the pure ROM has the same issue.

Get your own fix here
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
I can confirm the issue exists, and that your link fixes it. Much obliged.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zedmaster375:
I'm totally not surprised that this update came out when it did! I figured it would come out shortly after I got rid of my 8.9... I put my 8.9 on eBay last week for $150 (sold in ten minutes!), ordered a Nexus 7, and figured Sammy would probably release the update I'd been expecting 'any time now' since I bought it in the spring. Sure enough...

Not at all meaning to rag on the 8.9, it's a nice unit. But Nexus 7... niiiiiice... screen could be small for some, but JB is like butter... I hope ICS is awesome for you 8.9ers, maybe I'll see some of you in the Nexus forums!

Anyone else with deep sleep issues?

Rom works great but the kernel did not sleep. No app problem, checked for wakelocks with Better battery and gsam battery monitor.

Had same issues with the port from 7500.

Btw I do always full wipe & format system when installing Roms.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
so? did you have any wakelocks?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] PJFry76:
No, just a few minutes from Android system, fancy widget, etc all in all about 10-15 min during 8h standby.

Seems pretty normal. Checked cpuspy, most time at 216 and 1000 MHz Battery loses about 40% during night.

Sometimes deepsleep works for a few hours.

Seems lots of people have same problem with the 10.1 tab.

They talk about waiting for a new kernel from Samsung or a custom kernel as solution.

Thought Problem would be solved with official 7310 Rom.

Damn, why didnt i learn something useful
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] varun.c.jain:
I managed to workaround this issue... flashed the P7310UELA3 3.2 via Odin, booted into recovery, performed factory reset/data erase, again flashed P7310UELPB 4.0 via Odin, and this time the Tab has no issue! it works like it should and there is no garbled screen on unlocking... if you want to save your app data before you do these steps, use Titanium...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] potschi:
No answer?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
no there is no overclock kernel...yet.

this is the new official ics kernel. all the overclock kernels we had were hacked GB kernels.

this new kernel now has to be hacked again so as to make OC available

Hey guys. I don't have access to a PC so my only option is to update to ICS OTA. The only problem is that it keeps failing 19 percent into the install of the update.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Best flash ever

Was a little bit worried about flashing this update because of all the problems mentioned in threads.

Did a full wipe and then a full format before flashing.

Fixed permissions before rebooting into system.

I found some talk about that in the 10.1 forums...

their ics is very much like ours.

supposedly you can get the keyboard from any aosp or cm9. .. LatinIME.apk

some say they install as system app, others say you can just install as user app

I noticed this too, Any way to replace it with a different search apk that does universal search?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] mikandlotta:
That does not sound good... Are you using the Samsung 2A wall charger or a lesser powered USB charger by mistake?

Most other chargers are 1A or 0.5A and they go very slow and will trip that red X icon.

Otherwise another tip is the charge will go faster if the tablet is switched off. Give that a try...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
So Samsung removed the universal search on USA region firmware for the Galaxy Tab (10.1 and 8.9)... Something about Apple claiming infringement of a "unified search" patent (ref: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/29/apple-lands-preliminary-ban-against-samsung-galaxy-nexus/)

It's a relatively simple thing...

USA ROMs have /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk

others have /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

You can flash the attached via CWM recovery. This will delete the USA version, and inject the unified search. I used the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk found in P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_for_P7300_v2 (kaltt_kaffe's port of ICS firmware). I'm guessing all 4.0.4 ROMs have the same, as this is a Google .apk.

tested. Should work on any USA based ROM for P7300/7310/7500/7510. Trying to use it on other device may require edits in updater-script, for the mount point of /system.

Hit thanks if you used it :good:

I think it is in the XDA Samsung S3 forums somewhere, but I'm using Tasker to sideload the 4.0.4 version of the 'GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk' at each boot. This app restores the global search functionality on both of my Samsung 8.9 and 7.0Plus tablets.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
Having just read the fix for this, I think I'll try the method described there and flash two different versions to be sure.

Once the device is flashed through ODIN, I assume it then registers as a US device and will receive future updates on the US schedule rather than us UK/Europe folk having to wait forever?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] GarpNL:
Thx!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
One more from me,

Opening the EULA3 zip file, I see two files:

P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3_HOME.tar.md5

SS_DLL.dll

Where do I put these in ODIN? I've not seen a reference to a .md5 extension for ODIN in search.

Wifi only tab, if that makes any difference.

Edit, I realise I need to put it in PDA, but just need to make sure it doesn't need to go elsewhere also.

Does anyone have a link to the 8.9 ODIN howto? I found it earlier but can't for the life of me find it now. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Ignore the DLL. You only need the tar.md5 file in the PDA field.

Odin program download is in the "one stop guide" sticky
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
Darn, I'd searched almost every recent thread in dev one by one and it was in general all along.

Thank you kindly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
Flashed putting the .tar.md5 on the PDA path, left everything else as is (check boxes etc) and job done.

This official ICS, does that have the battery drain problem, or is it only affecting those I've read about - ports?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
There's 2 things

1) ports from the 10.1 for 8.9 (or any Rom with ported ICS *kernel*, at the moment) tend to get into a state of battery miscalibration, which means battery *percentage* drops really fast in active state, but the battery itself doesn't lose power in reality. After a reboot, the % jumps back up, but will drop again quickly. The Rom shuts down every time its percentage is low, even though battery power is still high (as shown also by the battery voltage readout)

2) all stock ICS Roms for the 8.9 and 10.1 seem to have a few bugs related to using "deep sleep" CPU state. Typically, some wakelock will keep the CPU active, e.g. at the lowest speed of 216mhz, leading to slightly higher battery consumption, e.g. an additional 1-2% per hour. In this case it is not a calibration issue. Your battery is really losing power (draining) slowly. Some wakelock bugs might be related to use of flight mode, on 3g tabs. Other are related to usb storage.

See my ICS faq, it has a few things about wakelocks

Sent from xda app-developers app
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
So 1) definitely won't affect me, however 2) may.

Providing I don't use the "safely remove" option and just disconnect, I should be OK?

As for airplane mode, does it affect wifi models? I doubt I'd use it (much rather just turn off wifi) anyway, but good to know.

If the wakelock until reboot or until re-flash? (Ie, permanent on the rom once triggered)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Till reboot. I would advice running BetterBatteryStats... There's a free XDA version by the author. It tells you if you have wakelock.

For usb, I've written it all in linked faq + detail post. (I use safe remove from settings)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
I will get root first and install it later.

I misunderstood your FAQ - i thought it was when plugging the tab into the PC. Not the case and having read your read more link I now understand and will avoid it :)

Thanks for answering the same questions I'm sure you see every time you log on ;)

Just following on from the above, I read up on the brickbug and I have the emmc chip known for the issue.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Looks normal, but to be sure, post also "partial wakelock" screen...

simply speaking, in general, what you are looking for is that your tab enters Deep Sleep for most of the time it is idle (screen off, no background audio ...)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bayton:
I think I'm OK then to be honest. In the normal battle stats it shows it is awake sometimes when the screen isn't on but I have background data etc enabled so I would expect it.

I'll get that other screen today.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sailor Saucy:
Was taking a look at my battery info this morning, when I noticed something very strange (see attached picture).

As you can see, the battery usage graph is there as normal - but there's no info displayed below it with regards to what apps are consuming the battery. Most annoyingly, there's also no obvious way to check the screen-on time.

Any ideas? Anyone seen this before?

I'm running MiNCO v4 with Franco's latest nightly 246, but flashing back to Milestone 5 didn't help. Neither did wiping cache/dalvik, fixing permissions or reflashing the ROM.

I guess the next step is to do a factory wipe, but I'm reluctant to do so because it's a real pain in the behind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buzzcomp:
Try to wipe only the battery stats in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IronTechmonkey:
Just had this happened to me on Moto Atrix HD running JB 4.1.1ATT original ROM on T-mobile service, rooted, bootloader unlocked. All aforementioned configurations put in place well before loosing batter stats. The only other "fix" I've seen for this was a ROM restore. Did you have any luck fixing this by factory wipe or other method?

D'oh! The per-application battery stats came back at the next full charge. On thing that can throw this off is that some battery meters report 100% at a point when the android system does not yet consider it full and if you stop charging at that point the stats may not refresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolGoodGuy:
I would gohead with the factory wipe. Do the job right the first time I say :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IronTechmonkey:
Before going through all the trouble of a factory wipe, if you have not done this already:

Charge the phone until the native battery information screen says 100% and "Full" (or something other than"Charging"). In my case the native battery information screen and 3rd party battery stats app would react to the event of battery reaching 100% but, at that point although the battery screen said 100% it also said charging (as in attached pic). At this point the battery is not at maximum charge until battery screen says 100% and Full.

That it may be better for the battery not to reach maximum charge each time is another story.
