several people seem to have run into this. it seems like something to do with the radio state -- what carrier was your device manufactured for, and what carrier are you currently on? also, has your device been unlocked or otherwise modified?

trying to establish patterns :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] HarderDrive:
Its a AT&T carrier, its not unlocked. Its the AT&T galaxy LTE. I tried it on AOKP ROM from the other thread and the rom that was listed in this thread and they have the same issue. Turning on the speaker turns off the mic, and turning off the speaker turns on the mic. Its rooted. Hope that helps! Hopefully this is just the speaker button bug (wishing I knew how to program androids).

I too has CM10 reboot every 2 to 3 minutes. Observed that this occurs just right after the 3G signal lost. DannoRom 1.2 (Roger based HC 3.2) does not have IPC error. If I revert back to stock HC 3.2 ATT the IPC error occurs on my unlocked i957.

I think it is something to do ATT rom. May be can use the Roger based JB radio binary to replace the ATT binary comes with CM10. Unfortunately I am not technical to locate the right radio binary.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ajagramonte:
ipc communication error and CM10 boots and boots

Please NRvate solve this, We are expecting a* solution, we can not use your ROM because reboot and reboot....
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
This is not a job for nrvate. Don't "expect" a solution. He has released flashable zip's as a favor and this is not officially supported. The community will try to help you as much as possible within our means.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

I came from dannorom with no issues. No reboots ever actually. I am guessing the sound has to do with the kernel. What is the ipc error exactly?

Can you do a log cat so we can see what is causing the reboots?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
^^ pretty much

Honestly, I wish I had the answer!

Really hoping the official samsung ICS release will provide the proprietary binary goods to make some of these radio-related issues chill out.

Speaking of that, running with the RILs in the interim update above (from the i577) in combination with using "phone info" tool (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo) to force LTE only, has been working out pretty good for me. resuming from airplane mode seems much quicker, and I haven't had it fail to init (yet). I think most the headaches, for my device atleast, seem to do with HSPA<>LTE transition.

Once cyanogenmod officially builds for the p5att, we can report some of these issues in a formal manner to help the cyanogenmod team put out an even more awesome production-level release. That was the whole idea of these test builds - find and quantify defects early. That's the nature of testing.

Can I use the zip file in post 2 with CWM Recovery instead of TWRP? I have installed CWM to root and made a nandroid backup already with it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Honestly not sure, I've never used CWM on this device -- Anyone try this?

Sweet! I've been tempted to try that, but haven't had the motivation to go all the way back to fully stock w/ stock recovery and everything. If you manage to get the OTA applied, just ODIN-install TWRP again, make a backup of /system and upload it somewhere :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Wait, the update is officially out for the I957?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
I thought they have ICS update for every Samsung device except for the i957 (what a shame - such a crappily supported device...I am so grateful to the guys here like Orlandopolice and Nrvate)

Just want to say that I have also upgraded to this rom and it's been working great so far. Even calling works (both speak and listen)... I think I will get charged a minute of pay per use voice calling by Bell... I will see on my next bill lol

Wifi and 3G/4G works fine

Overall seems to be smoother than when I was on HC. Most noticably when I am typing/swyping, as well as on websites

Notable missing functions/bugs:

1) TouchPal keyboard will sometimes flip to above the very top of the screen making it usable - solved by changing keyboard and back to TouchPal

2) Slow lighting up screen when turning screen on from standby

3) Lockscreen not rotatable (always landscape)

4) ADW launcher EX's animation on panel switching doesn't work (loved it on HC, and it was really really fast, faster even than jelly bean I would say)

5) USB mass storage (as everyone have said), I tried a USB mass storage app and it first crashed and forced reboot, then when i finally got it to turn on properly, it says it failed because no USB cable connected (I did connect a cable)

6) OTG not working naitively - solved by installing Stickmount app

7) As someone mentioned, the tiny icon notifications are not clickable by themselves, but I don't really care about that

8) When I was on the default launcher, it crashed a few times when I was unlocking the tab. Since switching to ADW Launcher EX it's fine

9) Boot CM logo sometimes missing

10) cannot play swf files - it shows a blank white screen when I try to open them (worked when I was in honeycomb)

Just want to add that receiving call did not work for me... but I am probably a special case because my original SIM card got fried somehow and so I had it repalced, and my number got changed.

Strangely when I dial out now, it is showing my old SIM card number, but when people try to call me with that number, it immediately cuts off (not in service). if they try to call the number on the new (current) sim card, they actually manage to call someone else entirely......... lolz

How do I actually check what my current number is?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKHD:
Correct, 100% working with tmobile sim card... 4G icon displaying here... no LTE but 4G is well respected. Not a single issue! I was trying and messing around with the Note Radios and I mess the tablet big time, but now the Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip is flawless... I will just wait for the AT&T contract to end and keep the tablet with unlimited 4G T-Mobile Data + Unlimited texting by just adding $10 every 90 days to the prepaid tmobile sim... this is a great, great find here on XDA... thank you guys a lot!

There is an OTA file dated Sept 2012 for the i957D: Link

Also an OTA file for the i957M: Link

I was going to look into the method here: Link
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] fk1991:
I have tried Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip on top of the CM10. The reboot happens much less frequently (after 15 minutes). The 3G/H+ and WIFI all work for 15 minutes. Guess have to wait for official ICS to see how it goes.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
yea your logcat shows a modem error. try turning on airplane mode and see if you still get the resets
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKHD:
I am on stock rooted, and oc kernel... And it works exactly as original radio, streamed pandora to my car via bluetooth, wifi indoors, and 4g everywhere without issues... And I also use google voice and skype a lot and no issues. It fits perfectly on stock 3.2 rom...

Also been using chompsms on the tablet for texting, and no glitches at all... Also ebay and xda now with you guys...

Also: I am able to send mms but not able to receive them because the messaging app from stock rom does not support mms retrieving, is there any way to flash one that supports retrieval of mms? Swapping messaging apk in system/apps?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] cambertoe:
I tried this but no dice. Even set permissions to 777. No biggie though! I'd rather have a nice bluetooth keyboard anyway.

I'm glad it worked for someone else as well. I saw some errors in logcat that seem to be related to putting the radio to sleep properly, and I believe my idle battery life is shorter. I'd watch if thats the case with you but its not a serious issue for me. Otherwise its still going strong after two weeks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
Is there any way to clear the notifications?

I know there is suppose to be a button at the bottom of the notification area to do it but I can't find it.

hey nrvate, dan htc just dropped the official telus ICS rom. think anything from that is worthwhile to pick from?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Sweet! I'll have to grab it and yank the radio library (RIL) stuff. :D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
Hi,

I just lost my data connection for a while and after several reboots I finally got 4G (LTE I think) back. I didn't bother before because it was working great (all of 3G/H/H+/4G were working), but since it dropped connection I went to check the Mobile data settings, and I realized that there are only 2 options for Network mode?

I only have LTE/GSM/WCDMA, or GSM/WCDMA preferred.

Are there suppose to be more options (I had HSPA ones before).

Just want to confirm as well, if I read correctly some others also have dropped data connection problems as well and would not reconnect unless reboot?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Yea Ppl are having this issue due to RIL problems
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
1. Normal

2. No. Those are the only options I've seen in that place. WCDMA preferred puts you on 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ unless that is not available. LTE/GSM/WCDMA is basically auto-select -- all technologies are available and the best one will be used.

3. Correct. Sometimes on reboot the modem does not init. This is likely an issue with the radio libraries and/or radio firmware.

I've had best luck using the i577 RIL libraries I posted a little bit up in this thread, and using the phone info tool (available in the market) to force LTE only. This causes the radio to get LTE service as quickly as possible, which is of course the goal if you're in an LTE area.

I'm playing around with the i957 ICS radio libraries that came with ICS, but haven't really even had much time to use my tablet this week -- stupid job!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
Thanks for the quick replies! My connection is now going in and out. It was working fine for the last week. Oh well.

May be I will try the i577 RIL as you mentioned. If i do force it to LTE, will it still go to H+ if it dosen't find any LTE signals? If not, will it still work if i do not force it to LTE?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] nrvate:
Cheers :) Good question! Force LTE is likely to not fall back to HSPA. Try it and find out, the modes are all selectable in the GUI...

The i577 RILs work fine regardless of additional settings in phone info tool, for me at least.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] the_hatrix:
Is it possible to add a "keep screen on" button in the notification panel?

Because flash is no longered supported, I had sideload flash into the tab. The default browser works with flash but it won't stay on when I go full screen.

Whereas dolphin browser support flash if you delete the preference xml file and let it regenerate, but I cannot go full screen (it hangs with a black screen).

So it is a pain when I try to watch online streaming when the screen keeps turning off.

I know there are widgets that can accomplished this but I would like to have a more built in approach if possible so that I don't have to go back to the main screen from the browser everytime I want to keept he screen on.

Thanks

I'm coming from stock honeycomb. Also, there's no SIM in the device so I can't test any of the cellular stuff. Been using for about 2 weeks, and haven't had any issues.

Hello, I am very new to flashing androids.....reading like crazy and trying to learn how all this works. I was able to get TWRP installed on my device and then I flashed DanoRom, and now CM10_NRVATE. Both installed and my tab boots up with no issues but once running the response time is incredibly slow. Opening and App or moving from and App back to home seriously lags.

After installing the CM10 Rom I tried to install the Google apps as recommended, however after that install the Tab would no longer boot into the O/S. It boots directly to recovery.

Anyway, experimenting is fun.......and I'm learning but I must be doing something wrong to cause the system lag. Any help or suggestions to better my process would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Hammer_NN:

Update 5 http://droid.arm.ee/957/cm10_p5att_nrvate_testrelease5.zip

* Android 4.1.2 - Complete rebuild from CM10 tree retrieved on October 12th. Includes ASEC hack as in update4.

* SGH-i957 Radio Information Libraries (RIL) from official Telus ICS image - Thanks Dan!

I believe I managed to pick up all the changes I made, hopefully they didn't break anything worse than it was before. Never know.

I was able to simply install the zip and re-install gapps to "upgrade in place" from update4. YMMV - Possibly dependent on what applications you use. Remember you need to re-install gapps *before* you reboot or it will lose your google accounts and you'll have to re-add them. The .zip does format /system, so if you've customized stuff there, you'll need to put it back in place.

Take a full backup first! I haven't had a lot of time to test this, but it appears to function like it did before.

Note that the msm8660-common kernel seems to be in a state of flux that happens to bootloop on this device -- the boot.img (ie kernel/ramdisk) is thus the same thing as on update4. It looks like a whole bunch of changes went into the kernel recently, one or more of them is probably suspect, but considering how stable the September 13th kernel (as in update 4) is for me, I'm not too worried about kernel updates. They'll get it sorted soon enough I'm sure...

I flashed the CM10 binary on my sgh-i957 from today. Everything seems to be alright.

But, I cannot connect the device to my Win 7 PC via USB to access the files from the DGH-i957.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
Can confirm battery rundown and speaker hiss on test5. The hiss is apparent in AOKP as well.

Just went through 40%, bluetooth stream[local media] + data on + some net browsing, over 5 hours.

Test4 only dropped 30% for same time period and similar usage. AOKP is about the same as test4.

RIL update is nice [still using i717 radio] brings back 4g 90% of the time.

Note: I don't have an LTE plan, just using the H+ sim I got with my p7500 from Rogers.
