Can anyone who downloaded via Kies confirm that it's the same version as on SamFirmware and Samsung-updates (P3113UECLK7/P3113XARCLK7)?

Using CF-auto-root is dead easy by the way. Here's the p31xx-specific link:

Yep still on p3110 firmware, will be flashing the new p3113 jb version tonight with mobile odin. Hoping it will make my IR blaster a little more stable (it currently works with the 3110 jb release but seems flakey for some reason). I bit the bullet and bought the pro version of mobile odin so I can take the easy way out and just use everroot ;) I'll let you know how it goes, though I'm sure others will do it before I get a chance to...

Not sure what you mean be "secure" but as far as I know going from 3110jb --> 3113jb should work...

Sweet Kies updated my rooted/cwm 4.0.4 with no trouble!! Hotfile is blocked on our LAN at work so I couldnt Odin it..

Now im off to get root!!

BTW - is it just me or did the uk 3110 jb release not have the lock screen shortcuts???

Just flashed it with odin in my P3113 running JB from P3110, no problem so far. I used the firmware from samsung-updates that is posted in page 4.

I rooted it with CF root, worked great and didn't take more than 30secs :p

EDIT: The tablet told me that there was a system update but I couldn't install it cause my tablet has been modified, is this important?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tel864:

Kies keeps freezing up on me after the first download.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sa-10:
Update failed on running Tsunami X and root, had to Odin

The Kies app would just disappear after the update download was 100%. I had to Odin and now it works great, rooted and debloated with no issue.

My postulate is that if I had used the Triangle reset tool it would have updated no issue. As after it was up on JB I caught a window that said "update failed as device has been modified" or something to that tune, I flashed quick and I didnt get to catch what update it was doing in the background. However all is fine on my end, all the apps work great, the speed is fantastic, ULTRA STABLE, and visually pleasing. My wifi works quicker that is one noted difference.

When I checked with the Triangle tool my count was 5...now its zero...one note, when it first ran it failed to reset so I just ignored it, about 20 minutes later SU prompted for a library update, did it, reran Triangle, BOOM ...ZERO.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
So interesting problem here with my ExtSD

So I have been using the same MicroSD for ages now, and since I installed the update to JB, I can't write to it.

I can read everything from it fine, I can install fine, but CWM (when I had it from a previous attempt rooting) couldn't write a backup to it, and even now, I can't move files to it.

Any thoughts on how to correct this?

On a possibly related note, I can not download anything from the stock browser, I can however from Chrome. Strange as hell, but no biggie, the SD card issue is a big issue for me.

EDIT: Just tried changing permissions using ES File Explorer (all except "other" writing was already checked) and permission change had failed.

Now I am really at a loss, I can't move things to it even using ES, I can't change permissions. Is this part of JB not using an ExtSD? Did I miss something?

This update to JB4.1.1 is very dissapointing!!

The worst!! : How do I get rid of that horrible voice every time I change the pages where all my apps are? I navigate accesibility, sounds, with no luck! :(

Anybody encounter this issue? I upgrade from stock ICS 4.0.4 unrooted, to JB4.1.1 unrooted

Also, the Phone UI on tablet?? come on!!!!

IF I can not get rid of the horrible voice, I will revrt back to ICS 4.0.4!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] chamberc:
I'd have to agree. The Notification shade isn't even the right resolution. Further, they didn't include Allshare Cast, sadly.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gyoung345:
Is there a way to change it so you don't have the phone UI on the tablet and get the tablet UI back? Here are some shots that outline it and are indicative of the phone UI....

1. Status/Notifications moved to the top of the tablet. They used to be in the bottom right corner. Now that they are on the top of the tablet, the icons are much smaller than they were.

2. The Back, Home, and Recent Apps navigation soft buttons are no longer on the bottom left of the tablet. They are now centered on the bottom of the tablet.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] monkboy24:
Lol I was just about ask how the hell did you get that voice thing? I don't have the voice. I'm checking into it now tho
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] :
I installed this last night - and up to now, am pretty impressed. Granted, the switch from 4.0.4 to 4.11 is huge, especially if you really like - or are used to the original tablet ui. I've been running custom 4.1.1 / 4.1.2 / 4.2.1 roms - so have gotten used to the phablet ui, and some of the benefits / features it offers. My wife's tab is still running the 4.0.4 - so I go back and forth between the two :)

As to the voice every time you change the app page - have never heard it, am not aware of it - am interested in seeing some other replies

Good luck

I'm curious - what was your upgrade path? Did you go from stock ICS -> JB, or were you running a custom ROM? I had this same issue when I flashed the p3110 official JB release on my p3113 (even though the p3110 release had functional IR which was working for other p3113 users). Let us know - it would be good to figure out why this happens to some people...

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] rsage:
Hmmm... well so much for my theory then...

I'm wondering if flashing via Mobile ODIN would help. Or factory reset + reflash. I hope you get it working.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Yeah I had mixed results: IR would work for a while after flashing p3110 jb, then just stop. Setting up Peel from scratch didn't help, I would have to wipe app data or uninstall/reinstall, at which point it would work again for a little while. I could never get it to work consistently (though I never tried a factory reset + reflash). Never knew if it was a firmware problem or a Peel/app problem.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gyoung345:
Thanks for that link. It helps out a lot. I will have to look at some launchers, but I don't think they impact the BACK, HOME, RECENT APPs buttons and the notifications do they?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tel864:
I didn't like them on the top either so I just disabled them in my launcher settings. I know you can turn them off in Go Launcher and and Nova and probably the others. A swipe down on the desktop will bring them back.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] crjs:
IR Blaster works fine for me, flashed this over the P3110 JB release.

I will look at that as I am using the Go Launcher.

I guess im the only one that likes the phone ui.. Coming from the Galaxy S2 running 4.1.1 that tablet ui threw me off. I was stoked when I installed my first jb leak on my Tab cause I knew how to work it finally hehe.

I found the "talkback voice". It was smartstay app. As soon it was activated, the voice start telling me about the pages!!!, I uninstalled, voice gone. Maybe there is a bug with the app and the talkback function on JB4.1.1. I will report back to developer, anyone, can give a try?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DigitalMD:
Talkback is part of the"accessabilty" settings in Android. Its for people that can;t see well, so everything is spoken.

So I ended up in the same boat again on this release - non-functional IR. I was coming from the p3110 jb release, where I was also having problems, so it's likely my issues started before flashing the p3113 jb release. Anyway, I wiped data/dalvik/cache, reflashed jb, and all was well. Anyone else having IR problems, a wipe + reflash will probably do the trick...

So none of you have been having issues putting files on their ext SD?

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
If your using Kies, I honestly don't know, if you are using Odin on the PC, it will remain that way if you don't have "Auto Reboot" checked. If its NOT checked, unplug and reboot the tab if Odin is saying things were sucessful.

Other than that, I have never seen it happen so I am not sure.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] westshotgun:
Yes, I'm using Kies right now... and I'm starting to regret. I should've used Odin...

There are really no choice since battery is going to run out if it stays like this but Is it Ok to just unplug it while at that 'Downloading...' screen?

I'm kinda worried it will brick my tab if I do...

Anyway thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
Never used Kies so I can not say for sure.

If your battery is going to die any minute now, then IMO I would power it off, charge it, and try to go back into DL mode. I would then use Odin (or mobile odin if you want to save root).

I can't promise anything about how things will work after being turned off or etc in the middle, but for all we know it's done?

I wish I could provide more insight, I wish you the best of luck!

Update 3113 through Kies

3113 connects to Kies and I get the notification there is a new update. Once it starts downloading it disconnects the tablet. It continues downloading files to computer, then stalls. After several minutes I get a popup stating do I want to download "Admin Delegator", I hit yes, then computer says Kies has stop working, I wait for ever, then it shows preparing files or something like that. This takes forever also, then it connects the tablet and states an update is available and I have to start over again. This I have been doing since the 7th. I get a notice on the computer that Kies has downloaded the files and to click her to get a quick update. I click and it opens Kies to start all over again. Very frustrating! Any help? I have reinstalled the old version of Kies but would not connect to tablet. Reinstalled the new version three times but same thing.

Update: Got update OTA today and installing now!! Samsung, you can keep Kies in your back pocket IMO!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LeftyGR:
no issues here. Try updating from p3113 stock ics instead of p3110 stock jb.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gyoung345:
After using it for a couple of days, here are my observations

I don't like the new placement of the navigational buttons (BACK, HOME, RECENT APPLICATIONS). While I can appreciate Google's desire to unify the UI for all Android devices (see link below), when you are in landscape mode on the tablet, it is difficult to reach the buttons. When they were on the left of the tablet, I could just my left hand for all. Difficult on a 7" tablet, probably impossible on a 10" unless you have gigantic hands.

I don't like the notification bar at the top of the tablet. I use this tablet a lot with Chrome and find that when I am manipulating tabs (moving/closing) and such I keep getting the notification shade popping up (I have found I have this problem on the IPad as well). Also, I find it is a waste of space on the top of the tablet. On the previous version, it was down in the navigational bar which was already being used for the navigational buttons.

The notification shade also doesn't show the battery percentage any longer. I have added the percentage to the notification bar, but it is very, very small.

As for performance, I can say that I don't notice much of a difference. I have never thought performance with my 7" tablet was bad and this update did not make it any worse. Pretty much the same for me.

I haven't used Google Now on this as I tried it on my Galaxy S3 when it was upgraded to JB and didn't find it all that useful, so won't probably use it here either.

The only other observation I have is that one of my apps has started crashing quite a bit. Probably more of the apps fault. Can't say it worked in the prior version of Android either because I installed it right around the same time as JB.

Possible fix for flakey IR blaster

I was about to take LeftyGR's advice and revert to stock ICS then upgrade again to stock JB to try to fix my intermittent IR blaster problems. I ran across this admin post on TouchSquid's forums (TouchSquid makes another (paid) app which works with the GTab2's IR blaster like Peel):

http://www.touchsquid.info/forum/announcements.php?aid=5

I also have all the power saving options enabled - I'm wondering if this is the problem. Unfortunately I'm at work and won't be able to check this out until tonight.
