Tried flash siyah,

But no luck...After boot, i got stuck...Im using OMEGA V25 also....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelJanss:
What siyah did you flash? You must flash the kernel for jb leak which is 1.6 and not 1.5.3 because it is for ICS rom. Did you perform wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Hi!

I gotta advise you that juicedefender/other battery defending apps hurt more than it should actually help. Think of it this way, juicedefender is also an app. App=RAM consumption, High RAM consumption=High battery consumption.

Also, flashing a custom kernel can help out. There are tweaks which you can do with custom kernels.

E.G. *Undervolting [if you are a total noob on this, then you might read thoroughly how to do this]

You can have manual settings to low screen brightness, not go to vibrate mode, led notif off, etc. And more importantly, CLOSE APPS THAT RUN IN BACKGROUND ;) Such as: Facebook

You can never really rely that let's say, Person1 is having awesome battery life with KernelX because it depends mainly on your SETTINGS and STANDARD USAGE

I hope this will help you out :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykool:
Well, I think it happened cause I put 1.5.2 siyah which located at Omega Kitchen...So I need to find siyah 1.6? then go Recovery > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache? Is that so??:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelJanss:
That's the reason why. Yes you can try that. Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing siyah 1.6. If it does not help then the only option you can make is to full wipe and flash again the rom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacketJ:
Here are some tips:

1. Put wi-fi policy to never. It's in wi-fi settings.

2. Disable unnecessary sync (FB, google, email etc)

3. Install custom kernel, like others said.

4. Install better battery stats and find what's causing your phone awake (wake locks)

Bro thumb up:good:, I successfully did it...There's issue stated only for JB...Hahaha, my bad...Flash without read...Now im using Siyah-s3-v1.6b10....hehehe...thanx mate....:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Whether Juice defender helps or not depends on your usage scenario and the app configuration (it literally has tons of options)

High ram usage equalling high battery coumption is bollocks. Each and every single operating system out there will try to fill the whole ram because it actually SAVES power and makes the device FASTER.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
^^Was gonna post this myself.

Ram uses the same amount of power whether it is full or empty.

Having it filled with apps saves CPU cycles and therefore battery.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndor:
Can I use a different webtop version or does it has to be the same one as the rom I'm using ie. if I'm using nottachtrick 2.3.6 do I need 2.3.6 webtop? or can I use 2.3.4 instead.

The reason I'm asking this is because I think firefox 4.0 was much faster than 8.0 :/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I believe the versions have to match exactly because the webtop interfaces closely with the rest of the system. But I guess you can downgrade firefox itself. Not sure how though, but I remember seeing instructions for that around here somewhere.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zim_zimmer:
I have just got a Galaxy Tab 2... been playing with it for a few hours now and I have to say I am impressed!!

One thing I would like to be able to do is create a Wifi Hotspot so that I can connect some mobile phones to it to play games with my mates. I cannot seem to find any option to setup the Portable Hotspot though in the settings menus?

I don't need an active data connection, just the ability to effectively use the Tab 2 as a router so it creates a wireless network. Is this possible in any way?

I forgot to mention that my tab is the 3100 (3G version....)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zim_zimmer:
I have the GT-P3110 version... this may be why then. Your model number shows as the 3G version.

I get the same screen layout as 'klausdieter79' above :(

So does this mean it cannot be done?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrEzkimo:
You are asking how to turn the WIFI only version of the tab into a hotspot so other devices can connect to the WIFI as well?

Am I missing the obvious here?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blister969:
I think that it should not be so difficult for samsung to provide this option to the wifi version.....pitty!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmarcelot:
I dont think this is possible. Wifi tethering serves to share a internet connection. I get what you want to do - you want to create a network so that people can play over a network. But i think they did not include this feature on the wifi version of the TAB 2, since it would not make sense sharing internet through wifi if your device ony has wifi.

This is a joke or something?If you are connected to a wi fi router,and your mates phones are in the same room with you,whats the point in connecting the phones to your tablet,and not to the same router that your tablet it's connected already?If it's a joke,it's not a good one.Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klausdieter79:
@viasat you are a joke.

Imagine you are in a hotel and you have to pay for the wlan key for ANY device you want to use and you doesn't have a device with root priveleges so can't see the key in /data/misc/wifi. I'm in such a hotel right now!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viasat:
Please be polite,if you want help in this forum,or keep your mouth shut.For me it's a non-sense to use a wifi device to be a hotspot to another wifi device,but if you are so cheap and can't afford to spend a few bucks on a hotel wifi services,maybe you can build yourself a rom for your device,to enable that functionality you need it.Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klausdieter79:
Do you think 50€ for one week is a good price to use wlan in a hotel? I don't think so. That's why it is no non-sense to me.

Ok. Back to topic. Does CM or any other rom got this feature?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xt21:
Why don't you just get one of your friends to create a hotspot and connect to their network?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgyee:
In a word: no.

You need two radios to bridge and create a hotspot. This is why you can bridge a GSM or CDMA radio to WLan.

Commercial WLan bridges use two separate radio chips to accomplish what you want to do.

I carry both a small DLink portable router/WiFi that allows me to share a wired connection to a bunch of wireless devices and I have a small cheapo netbook that has an extra USB WiFi connection so I can create a WLan bridge.

Or, you can buy and carry a commercial or consumer WiFi bridge that can accomplish the same thing.

So, for the time being, either suck it up and pay the cost or bring the proper equipment. Sorry for being crass, but the tablet can't do it if it's a WiFi only unit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zim_zimmer:
You haven't understood the original question mate. I want to use the Galaxy Tab 2 as a router.

I didn't mention anything about having a data connection to share... I just want it to act as a central hub to connect other devices to so that gaming can be done across that 'network' NO DATA NEEDED!!

SYGEE - Thanks for your reply, I will look into one of those portable routers... sounds interesting!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
I can create a WLAN bridge with my home router that only has one radio in it (as far as I know anyway). You don't need two radios, but you need drivers that are setup to do what they want, and I doubt you'll find many consumer devices meant to act as a router. Maybe you could setup an adhoc network, but turning the tablet into a true router won't work without a lot of hacking.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
There are other reasons to want to use the Tab 2 as a Wifi hotspot:

I want to use the Tab 2 as a touch controller for the Ableton Live DAW. The Android controller app that I want to use requires the tablet to be a hot spot.

Is there a way to setup the Tab 2 as an adhoc network?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
I know this is an old thread but I do have a solution..

I use this app called " software data cable "

It creates a wifi hotspot to connect between devices.. Even on a wifi only galaxy tab 2

Here's is how you do it

Install the app "software data cable"

Click on" sync phone" tab

Click on "connect with friends" button

On the pop up - select " create direct push network "

You'll get a message "tethering / wifi hotspot active "

I believe this will solve all your problems.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
Thanks so much, itsrijo. I'll check this out in the next couple of days and let you know how it goes.

Update:

FYI, this is on the Galaxy Tab 2 7". (GTP3113 version that only has Wi-Fi). Running Android 4.1.1. Just bought this a week ago. It's completely stock. I'm planning on rooting it.

I start the app.

Then I press Sync Phone.

Then I press Connect With Friends

Then I press Create direct push network.

I see the "Creating network" msg.

Most of the time, after a few seconds, without doing anything else, the tablet reboots.

Other times I get the message:

"Failed to create direct push network (Check the FAQ for possible reasons).

"Tips: "Join direct push network" works for all phones. Try it out!"

If I try to "Connect with Friends again", sometimes I''ll see the "Waiting for Friends" msg but then it reboots after a few seconds.

I went to the www.damiapp.com web site but when I click on Help&FAQ under Software Data Cable, nothing happens. I've emailed dami app.

Any help or advice would be most appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
I have no problems with the app... It creates the network without any issues and I've used it extensively to transfer stuff to and from my galaxy note ..

Btw

I am on gtab 2 p3110 (only wifi... No ir blaster, no 3g)

I'm on 4.1.2 jb stock Indian firmware.. Rooted

Sorry, I don't have a clue on why your tab is acting up.. Hope you sort it out.. Good luck

Ps - try to factory reset your tab... Maybe that will help

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
Thanks itsrijo and qazmed for your replies.

I've been thinking about what I'm going to do: use the Tab as a touch controller for Ableton Live running on my laptop. I've been thinking that I would probably get better performance with less latency if I tethered it via the USB cable. Is there an app that will let me accomplish via the USB cable. what I would normally do via the WiFi Hotspot?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
It looks like this is for sharing the cellular internet connection via the Wi-Fi hot spot. I have the 3113 Tab 2 that just has Wi-Fi. Have you managed to get a Wi-Fi only version to function as a Wi-Fi Hot Spot, Ad-Hoc or USB Tether?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
Just wanted to follow up:

I rooted my Tab 2 (via CF-Auto Root), installed Philz CWM Recovery and flashed the Sungsonic HD ROM. Now the Software Data Cable seems to be working fine. I've been able to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on my Tab and connect my laptop to it. So apparently the crashing problems I had with Software Data Cable were related to the stock ROM. And people ask why we bother to root our devices? ;)

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I'm on a Windows machine. I'm still interested in doing the equivalent hot spot thing via USB cable...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
have you tried any usb tethering apps from the play store?? one of those should work.

I don't have the Tab with me right now... so I couldn't check
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
Yes, I'll check out the USB tethering apps.

It's really all about whether LiveOSC on Windows and the CharlieRoberts Control on Android app will see the WiFi connection. I have the Control app running fine on Android and LiveOSC is installed and setup in Ableton Live but so far I haven't been able to get them to communicate via the Wi-Fi hotspot. Unfortunately, the dev who wrote this Trebleton Android controller posted this code and few instructions and hasn't been heard from since (it's at ver .010 ;) ), though he posted the source. I'll keep trying things on my own.

The reason I'm interested is that this is the closest thing yet to the Touchable iPad app that's appeared on Android: http://www.touch-able.com/touchAble/touchable.html

Thanks again for you help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsrijo:
you could also make a wifi hotspot on your laptop and try to connect your tab , that might work.. have you tried that.

the only problem is wifi adhoc networks created on windows machines are usually invisible to android devices

but you can either use the workaround from

Do you want larger and vertically centered icons?

The values to change in the Nova Launcher apk are:

app_icon_size

app_icon_padding_top

Theses can be found in: /res/values/dimens.xml

I added them to my theme chooser theme (this way I don't have to edit the Nova Launcher apk directly).

See this post for Theme Chooser instructions.

These are the values I am using:

60.0dip
26.0dip

Enjoy!

[Android Themes] creeve4:
Some are from a post in the Android Themes section called Metro Inspired, the rest are my creation.
[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
Cool little mod. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Now if either Nova or Apex would incorporate the ability to import a custom dock image, they would be perfect. That seems like such a standard thing for a custom launcher especially of this caliber. I've never understood why neither has this ability. I assume this is no simple "mod" though.

[Android Themes] creeve4:
Prime just unlocks all features of Nova. The file is in the Nova Launcher apk. If you edit the Nova Launcher apk, Nova Prime may not work since it is signed with a different key.

Your best bet is to mod the launcher through theme chooser.
[Android Themes] turdbogls:
do you have any idea where this value is for Apex launcher? I just can't get used to Nova after using apex for so long and paying the $4 for ANOTHER launcher isn't something i want to do.

I looked in the .apk quickly and didn't come across anything that looked like it was what i needed to change. I always liked the larger app icons so i would LOVE to see this on Apex.

I'm not sure, it may be coded into smali code or a layout XML file.

[Android Themes] Rocs Macho:

[Android Themes] creeve4:
For Theme Chooser:

1. Decompile your theme chooser apk (or use mine and delete what you don't want).

2. Delete public.xml which is located in \res\values\

3. Add the com_teslacoilsw_launcher file I have attached to \res\xml\ (rename from .txt to .xml)

4. Browse to \res\values\ and open dimens.xml (if this file does not exist, copy the one I have attached and rename from .txt to .xml)

4a. Add the following values:

<dimen name="app_icon_size">60.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_icon_padding_top">26.0dip</dimen>

5. Recompile your theme chooser apk

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FailDeadly:
Samsung claims the S3 supports 64GB cards formatted as exFAT, but it, in fact, does not. Unless they corrected the issue with the Note 2, you have to format your 64GB card as FAT32. It will still work, but you lose some significant advantages by doing so. As far as I know, Samsung has not acknowledged the issue.
