Some have reported issues with Wi-Fi connection, but most I've read have been with 5GHz band. Have you tried a factory reset?

BTW - Wi-Fi driver is built into the kernel, same as BT etc ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] faurash:
I flashed irobot rom and my 5Ghz works fine. Now 3verything is working smooth.

Need smart rotate, how do i get it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] s_john8686:
Hi, I am not sure the wifi problem I have is similar to yours, I can't active the tablet to share internet using wifi hotspot function -> on WPA/WPA2 security mode.

Do you know how to solve it ? Flash phone_csc from ICS rom ? But in ICS we have the wifi dropping issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
The point he was making was that changing CSC which ended up wiping his device,........

I previously suggested to factory reset, which will wipe. So same end result, nothing to do with CSC though ;)

Factory reset can't hurt, can it? Just backup first.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] s_john8686:
But I had already do a hard reset on your ICS custom rom, back to bare basic then only install mobile odin to flash the comple JB rom from mobile odin. Then I choose to install customed recovery CMW from the mobile odin and root all at the same time.

Can this act be the culprit ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Just try the factory reset AFTER flash JB and see what happens. Nothing to lose....

Just got myself this nice tablet for a decent price as it was a demo version in the shop (still 450 USD though).

As I'm from Norway, I'm stuck with the french, spanish, scandinavians and others with HC 3.2.

I can return it withing two weeks and it still is a slight possibility that i will, so I'm a bit reluctant to flash it just yet.

The trend isn't promising for future updates, but do you think GT 7.7 will get any future updates after JB, official or not?

How long will it still be a decent tablet?

I meant my galaxy S2, not my 7.7, I'm waiting for samsung to release JB for S2 in march, this is when ukraine is supposed to have it, and possibly poland.

I flashed my 7.7 to ICS a few days after that came out last year. The 7.7 was never sold in poland officially, so there is no poland specific firmware even.

Re: Galaxy tab 7.7 will get official JB 4.2.1

I was actually referring to this sentence on the article:

The confusion regarding Jelly Bean comes from Samsung posting an international status update in Europe, citing a Jelly Bean update for the tablet as coming soon. The posting was later retracted, with no clarification on the international variant’s status either.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] long6688:
Re: Galaxy tab 7.7 will get official JB 4.2.1

If you flashed the newer ics rom from november, anything updated or newer than austria version?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ldriod:
Don't know how much of this back and forth one can take on this issue of getting them to release Jellybean.

Samsung could careless it seems, maybe the money isn't there for them...typical big business I guess.

But you don't get a following like Apples' by caring less..

Still some hope, but might have to abandon this tab...I know some are satisfied with just ICS, but Jellybean has too many powerful improvements to ignore on such an expensive piece of equipment. Jellybean is Android's current answer to iOS in terms of performance....and it works smooth enough for me to not care to jump ship.

But if Samsung doesn't get this tab updated to atleast 4.1, it'll be my last product from them...including tvs, monitors etc....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] long6688:
Re: Galaxy tab 7.7 will get official JB 4.2.1

I think android still has a far long way to go before they catchup with ios. It has been 6 years since apple release iphone and android now is only merely catching up. They tried to do differently with apple but nevertheless has to go back to ale way, like remove the menu button and sd card slot. Still they havent finished yet. I think android still need 1 single memory disk like ios, 1 partition. I dont understand why system wouls be put on seperate partition. And they also has to deal with notification centre like apples. Each apps has their own background processes is a big waste of ram. And a lot more.... I remembe running angry birds smoothly on iphone 3g, now i still cant achieve that with my tab
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] neimovirne:

Re: Galaxy tab 7.7 will get official JB 4.2.1

Issue happened in Germany where the device was forbidden after a lawsuit.

Samsung may have assimilated that country to europe, forgetting but they continued to sell 7.7 in france, the high price for that hi Q particular device.

Since early 2012, 1 year, no official update, still stock android 3.2 :-/ got brickbug?...

Same in 2011 for my GTP1000, expensive device, no care, no official update.

Now i'm fed up with Samsung. Sony, take my moneyZ.

Re: Galaxy tab 7.7 will get official JB 4.2.1

The schedule was changed, kindly please see Samsung Ukraine.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Lssar:
So it looks like they excluded our 7.7 from the Jelly Bean update list ... :confused:

Very disappointing for such a high-end/high-price device, Samsung ... :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
was the 7.7 even officially sold in the ukraine? I have a feeling it was not, same situation in poland. Therefore it would be best not to go by info from samsung ukraine for the 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bassem.mohsen:
Samsung Ukraine didn't mention our tab in their page in the first time, the source in this topic was sammobile, which didn't revel what's their source for such info, and instead they kept confirming it on their twitter account.

so Samsung Ukraine didn't drop us because they never mentioned us.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Entropy512:
You're an idiot. How do you explain the piles of dead devices that mobiletechvideos (or any other JTAG recovery house) are unable to recover with JTAG?

How do you explain Samsung submitting a patch for the issue to the mainline Linux kernel? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kern...it;h=3550ccdb9d8d350e526b809bf3dd92b550a74fe1 (This patch FINALLY made it into Samsung kernels with Jellybean for I9100 - more than six months after they claimed they were "working hard" on the issue...)

As to not reproducing it in person - The eMMC must be in a specific state for the problem to happen. It is most likely to be in this state when a device has been in use for a while (it's a specific performance optimization I was asked not to discuss). Samsung, however, brought clean pristine eMMC chips that had never been used before, and didn't discuss this particular requirement for damage to happen until the last hour of the meeting.

The secure erase brickbug is very real and you're an idiot for denying it.

SOD, only thing stock I can think of is factory reset.

Other than that, you're welcome to try the SkyHigh kernel and change governor to recommended Pegasus/NOOP. Might help, might not. But worth a try.

Smart Rotate, can't suggest anything.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Have a search around the forums in General/Q&A, or even a page or so back where factory reset has helped some with Wi-Fi issues. Some that flashed the eRobot ROM reported Wi-Fi fixed, (because it's apparently full wipe). Doesn't hurt to try. Just backup first.

BTW, Any future ROM I cook for any device will be full wipe (no more option), just to weed out the lazy ones :p Just waiting for official JB release for P6810. ;)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] guho:
Full data wipe did not cure 5GHz reception on one of my p6800s. I had to do a titanium backup first. Then did a nandroid backup on the working p6800 and restored it onto the non-5GHz one. This did the trick, enabling 5GHz reception. Then I restored the Titanium Backup to restore the desired config.

So the upshot is that it is something in the /system partition to make 5GHz work. I compared build.prop files on both; they were the same. No clue what it could be. But in any case I now have 5GHz on both.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rebski:
I think you might be right and that is what I may end up doing too.

Looking at the history of the 4.0.4 upgrades, they began in June 2012 and continued up until March 2013.

That means that some owners had to wait a whole nine months to get up to date. I may be patient but that is stretching it.:(

I'm glad Samsung implemented the tablet mode for the 7.7 instead of the "phablet" mode that was also used on the Tab 7.0 2.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rebski:
Thanks, I only need an English version. An OTA or Kies update keeps it simple and avoids disruption.

In the meantime I am avidly following the amazing work being done by daniel_hk and UpInTheAir and if I am going to go the Root/Odin procedure then I might as well just go with daniel_hk's CM or PA rom.

We are spoiled for choice really and I am just so grateful to this forum and the support it provides.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rebski:
Thanks, you have told me much that I didn't know.

By disruption I meant losing my installed apps and data and then having to reinstate. I have experience with a different Tab of stock ROM updates using both OTA and Kies and all of that was retained which made the process hassle free.

My assumption is that in the case of a custom ROM install it may be necessary, or at least advisable, to factory reset. The procedure for a stock ROM update using PC Odin is akin to that for a custom ROM so is a factory reset required or advisable?

The fact that Kies could brick your device is a worry. Recently I managed to brick three routers over a short space of time by flashing updates, two were my error and the third I don't know. So you will understand my reticence. After twenty years of flashing upgrades to all sorts of items without mishap I had grown complacent so to do such damage and in quick succession was a blow to my confidence. I thought Kies and OTA were safe but then I guess this process is not entirely risk free no matter what method is used.

I didn't know that PC Odin is officially approved, that is reassuring. I have also used Mobile Odin Pro and like the fact that there are no cables or external operating systems involved. Everything is done within the device itself.

Apart from performing updates, Kies never appealed to me but, after your explanation, I think I need to spend some time on seeing exactly what else it can do.

I have spent a solid three days reading almost every pertinent thread on this forum, making notes and compiling guides and every day I check the new posts. But there is always more information to absorb.

I updated my UAE Tablet with the Singapore rom using odin.

After updating to the JB rom, almost everything was still in tact. All the apps I downloaded, all the photos, music, settings, etc etc, remain intact.

The only thing that was gone was some of the stock apps / widgets that Samsung decided to remove.

Nothing was out of place. All my icons in the home page remained in the same place. The only thing I noticed was the AP widget going away. So I had to replace it with the stock Yahoo widget.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Got a little bored and built a CWM P6800 ROM for my P6810......

Compiled the kernel using Daniel's P6810 config ok.

Built the ROM and to flash correct partitions for my device.

No go. Flashes ok, but hangs on boot screen.

Could be the kernel or maybe boot.img has changed between ICS and JB ?

Thank you for the advice, which I have taken.

Using Mobile Odin Pro I flashed the Singapore XSP rom to my Netherlands PHN Tab. All went as you described.

Thanks again.:victory:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Tried and failed today, but not to say I'm giving up. Going to make a few more optimizations for the next build before trying again. It's not that high up on the list but would be handy, same as auto mount without app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rebski:
LOL good question, the answer is no.

Mobile Odin Pro has the option of Ever Root which I deselected. Partly so as not to introduce a level of complexity, partly because I thought Root was easy to reinstate (it is under ICS) and partly because the last time I used Mobile Odin it retained Root without Ever Root being selected..

So now I have to Root again and it seems that under JB this is not straightforward.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272386

The advice is to flash CWM using PC Odin in preparation and then Root.

However UpInTheAir has suggested flashing his SkyHigh Kernel [2.0.8] as that will not only Root but provide enhancements
