Then flash back to HC ? Then look on Sammoble for ICS ROM for your area .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctibor:
Yeah, I might do it... I just hoped to be able to avoid flashing and flashing again...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctibor:
Maybe someone, who changed the CSC not before but AFTER flashing the stock ICS ROM, could help me by telling me where the vendor code stored in ICS ROMs.

It is different from the Honeycomb ROMs for sure, because the 'system/csc' folder does not exist anymore in ICS. Meanwhile the Galaxy S/S2 CSC app recognized somehow that my vendor code is TGY, so this information is stored somewhere, but I don't know where... If I knew it, I could try to modify it with Root Explorer, since the device is rooted.

To tell the truth, I'm afraid of flashing BACKWARD a 3.2 ROM and bricking the tablet...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
i think that your rom isn't multi csc, only roms with multi csc gives you the ability to change it.

maybe honeycomb 3.2 for your region will fix your problem, do some research here on xda to how restock your tab before flashing, I think there is some problems to get back to hc, but everyone managed to surpass it.

best regards

Hi do you know by chance which ICS ROM is multi-CSC? Maybe I could resolve my problem by flashing it and not downgrading to HC ROM.

Thanks

I fleshed the P6800ZSLP7 ICS ROM (HK, the same as my sales code) with the hope that it's multi CSC, and yes, it is, but ATO is not among the possibilities...

So still no solution for me... :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
i would suggest to restock it to Honeycomb 3.2, maybe later this year an ATO update will be available directly from Kies.

you can find the stock rom on sammobile. com

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctibor:
Exactly that's what I'd like to avoid! Honeycomb ROM was so slow, lacking the smoothness the hardware is made for, that don't want to use it again. Now I'm with the HK ICS ROM (P6800ZSLP7) that is a little bit inferior than the 2nd ATO ROM, but still works without any serious bug and at least matches with the vendor code.

And I hope that some time a developer or expert will find out how to change the vendor code....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
One sad day last week, a friend dropped his Galaxy and cracked the screen . When plugged in or powered on, the soft touch-keys at the bottom do light up and I can press them (they go dark as I press them, then light back up as they normally would).

I'm OK with paying $80 for a replacement screen/digitizer on ebay, as long as I know that will fix my phone. I'm worried that something else may be wrong internally?

Is there any way to check the functionality of the phone (perhaps through ADB?) or something I can do without having the screen turn on to prove that this phone will still work once I buy a new screen?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Very unlikely after a drop that's cracked the screen that there is more damage than just the screen.

It'll be alright... <---- famous last words lol :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xViBeR:
You can only watch to see if something's broken. Replace the screen, and if there's another problem, you will notice. But i don't think there are other hardware problems, either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Luckily, I found one on Kijiji with a broken charger port for $40. Only took a few minutes to strip it for the screen and fire up the old phone, no problem :)

[Networking] Hoezack:
I've notice that the past 2 weeks my internet speed has been very slow in my apt. I called Tmobile today and they say I've been flagged? I have 5gig internet and ive only used 3gigs...so how am I flagged? She said that in my area I use another carriers tower and that I only get 100mb a month on that tower? After that I'm screwed. I never had the issue because I was never home, but recently I have....but Wft is tmobile talking about? I have 4g in my area! And I pay Tmobile not Att...etc this doesn't make any sense. My internet works fine everywhere... except here at my apt! And that's the excuse she gave me. I can't even get a page to pull up or use an app unless I'm on 2g/Edge. Anybody know about this stunt tmobile is pulling?
[Networking] pottyvick:
Your phone should indicate when you're roaming... That is what they are referring to...
[Networking] Hoezack:
I don't have data roaming on. Never have.
[Networking] Babydollll:
Escalate it to tier two tech support and ask them to check the towers you are connecting too. It may be a screw up. I had this happen awhile back
[Networking] MrObvious:
100MB sounds like a roaming limit. They made a mistake somewhere and need to fix it. If the person refuses, speak to a manager, or Google how to get to their retentions department (it is saying something when you dial 611).
[Networking] Hoezack:
They are still telling me the same crap. This is ridiculous. Im in a 4G area, but all towers are not tmobile, so even if I'm not roaming I'm roaming?!?! Wow!!! So what's the point of me paying for internet?
[Networking] MrObvious:
Google how to get to retentions. If you try howardforums.com for now the domain is down and it's howardforum.com.
[Networking] Babydollll:
File a report with the FCC and demand they allow you out of your contract without an ETF. If the towers in your area no longer belong to T-Mobile (they did say awhile back they were looking into selling towers...IIRC) and you are always roaming and therefore throttled after 100mb than you shouldn't have to pay for more data than that and if they can't provide you the unthrottled speeds after 100mb (that you pay for) they should allow you out of your contract.

(It's what I would do)
[Networking] jared407:
If you have a certain rom it will tell you how much you have transfered. Tmobile tried to this with me and while my wife was on the phone with them I took the phone and told the guy he was full of **** and he said that he could tell the areas where I downloaded it from I told him my ROM monitors in and out traffic and it was only at 900MB and I asked him to tell me and he choked and got all mummbly. It is a scam I think because they have this new unlimited plan they want everyone to switch to. Cell companies hate with I call then because I call them out.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:
My status bar keeps disappearing. It pops back up for a moment, every few seconds, but then disappears again. It's like the device thinks it should be in full screen mode or something. I first experienced it after installing ever note, which went to a full screen display after I logged in. I un installed ever note and re booted twice... the second re boot seemed to fix it. But it just happened again when I launched the xda premium app.

I also notice that it no longer says my name, just "my kindle", in the status bar... before disappearing again. Maybe that element of the launcher is stuck in a cycle???

Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
I'm seeing the same thing. But, I think it might be worth noting what I have done to mine that may be affecting it:

1) Rooted

2) Installed Google Play

3) Removed my ads (unofficially)

I found if I go to the kindle management page on Amazon.com and change the name of my kindle, it does push it down to the kindle. However, it loses after some time again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:
So far I have not rooted... just side loaded GMail and Google maps. Amazon cs was not very helpful...told me to swipe down and hit sync, but the problem is that I can't access sync or any of the tools in the status bar
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
OK, the root was what I assumed was causing it. If you haven't really modified yours, then it might just be an bug. Perhaps an update will fix it.

Anyone have a completely stock KFHD and noticed this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Did you get the OTA update?

I had no problems stock and running fine rooted now with Google apps. Might want to restore to stock and test each app you install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
I did a cold shutdown and power up, and so far its doing better. I'll see if it decides to act up again. Fingers crossed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmullens:
I think it will do it again for you...I'm having the same problem. I have _not_ rooted, but I have installed Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Mail, Google Maps, and Google Play Books...along with the Google Framework and Google Login. I just noticed this behavior today.

Yesterday I was able to get the Google Framework working with my apps by installing Google Framework and then reinstalling all of the apps that started not working. I'm wondering if it is having Google Framework on the KFHD. I needed Google Framework to get Google Drive working (which is working quite well now).

Be nice to get the status bar back. When I shut down (not sure how to do a reboot), the status bar shows up. Then after a while...it goes away again.

UPDATE: It seems that after I shutdown and restart the notification bar is fine until something tries to write to it. So whenever I get a new notification, it seems to crash the notification bar. I did install USAToday last night. I've uninstalled Google Framework this morning and I'm getting the same behavior. It would be nice to know what is causing it.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I uninstalled in the following order:

1) Google Framework

2) UsaToday (since I just downloaded it last night)

3) google Drive

4) Google Mail (when I uninstalled this my notification bar _magically_ came back and has been working ever since.

I don't have time right now, but I will probably reinstall everything to see if I can reproduce the issue and then see if running GMail fixes the issue. I noticed that something was doing a notification which caused the bar to disappear. I wonder if it was some issue with Gmail.... I'll report back later tonight...unless someone else with the issue can verify things.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:
I'm having a hard time reproducing the error. It hasn't recurred since yesterday afternoon. It may be noteworthy that the last time the notification bar disappeared, I opened GMail to send something and the bar reappeared. It has remained since then.

Go figure... I wouldn't worry too much about it being a Google framework issue, though. At least a few people have reported the same problem on the amazon forum.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
I went through a factory reset today, and redid everything I did previously. The only difference is I did

not

install the GoogleLoginService.apk as I had before. Thus far I am not experiencing any disappearing notification bar. Things have been writing to the bar all morning, and I have opened every app on the device without an issue thus far. I'll report back if it decides to disappear again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertc88:
Well it is happening on my kfhd as well. Guess I will have to do a reset as well but rather not to tell the truth. Maybe unregister and reregister or is that the same thing

Update: just went into gmail and after closing, the bar is back! WT. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
I tried the unregister/register and it didn't help. I realized that I did not install Gmail this time either, another difference from last time. Perhaps its the culprit?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I have a very good feeling it is gmail. I did not have this issue until after I installed gmail and the notifications started to come in.

That is when I started to see on instances the notification bar disappearing. Going back to the original carousel, opening gmail seems to have fixed the issue. In the play store, it says that it was updated for 7" tablets (most likely for nexus 7) but perhaps not having the proper support for the KFHD7. Uninstalled gmail and everything is back to normal.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varlokkur:
It definitely appears to be caused by Gmail. Just turn off notifications from Gmail in the app settings and you will no longer encounter the issue.

I had the same problem. I went into "Settings" and there is a section to manage Notification settings. I just turned off notifications to apps I didn't need and the problem stopped. I didn't go as far as figuring out which App was responsible but it seems that certain apps can screw it up.

Amazon and google not playing nice. Gotta remember that you are sideloading it onto the KFHD.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krept:
First, apologies if this is a necro, but it popped up at the top of a Google search and the breadcrumbs left by/there here helped solve the problem.

I was having a similar problem. Rooted, changed device name via Amazon and had both Yahoo and GMail apps installed. I had been experiencing loss of the bar for about an hour and was trying to check my Yahoo acct and noticed Yahoo checked for new mail, but no mail ever populated. No change after reboot. I then uninstalled Yahoo and immediately got the “Talk has stopped“ error, then the bar came right back. The name on the Kindle simply reads “My Kindle“ as opposed to the registered name or the name I changed it to. Thus, while the nature of the error may remain unknown, there is additional support for a communication error and a fairly easy remedy.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAG50:
Darn, I had same problem a while ago and found solution in one of the threads. So the good news is that there is a fix. Problem went away for good.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expone:
Here my solution and Problem description:

The problem is caused really by gmail, so my conjecture. To run gmail and some other gapps you have to install or update the GoogleLoginServices.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk. One of these Seems providing the notification framework in a newer version. Gmail try to use this newer framework version that is not compatible with Android 4.0.3 of KFHD.

My solutions is, also already described in this thread, disable the notifications of the gmail app. If you need or want the notifications of Gmail nevertheless I recommend Gmail Label Notifier provided in the Play Store.

I didn't have any problems with my notification bar.

Bad Gmail, bad!

I had this same exact problem; after rooting and installing Google apps (Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc.) my notification and soft bar menu hadn't completely disappeared, but it would pop up occasionally (and randomly), but of course never when I needed it. After some searching on the web, and a lot of digging in this forum, I also found and confirmed that it was Gmail of all things causing my problem. I uninstalled Gmail(Kindle has an all-in-one e-mail app of its own, so I don't really need/care that Gmail is gone) and rebooted, and my soft bar menu and notification area are both back, without any problems that I can see (so far, anyways). So anyways, try it! Looks like uninstalling Gmail worked for a few of us here~
