next time dont install FRONTLINE COMMANDO.no seriously have you considered flashing a different rom from stock to see if the problem is still there.

you can flash back if the problem persists and send it back.

That would make no difference, he could try ics stock instead but it wont make a difference. Un less he isnt flashing rom properly

I was thinking maybe a custom rom.I dont know about you but i can not see an app wrecking the digitizer.I was wondering if the the app triggerd something in that particular build so try another one and see?umm strange one though or just a massive coincidence with the app and indeed the touch did just give up..

There are a few ways to test just the digitizer like Touch Test for some you need root.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
I would come to think exactly that a coincidence. But anyway changing rom will make no difference just reflashing is sufficient, or maybe the PDA he has is corrupted! In that case he should download it again to be on the safe side. I say this because its more hassle to install custom than stock.

sure as if its image corrupt a re flash will sort it.But can an app have a problem with a certain build of firmware??but again a flash will solve that also they reflashed same build and still had the same problem so i go with your ICS suggestion and see and then its a return if under warranty as as you said as normal folk aint supposed to know how to flash etc.

shame they are not in UK its only a £25 fix apparently.

UPDATE:I still had the touch screen problems with it going mental on me when i flashed the latest UK(BTU) rom it was also what i had on there to begin with.

But after looking around i found this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2137870

it is a serbian update to 4.1.2 but its multi lang.so i thought what the hell and flashed.Bingo all problems resolved tab is perfect touch screen 100% good.

this is what i was saying ref the other chaps problem with his screen..i think the btu 4.1.1 rom has a bug or something and when i kept flashing same build i had the same problem..so i flash a different build and all problems resolved.

Tab is great now running 4.1.2 been an hour if it was going to play up it would have by now..thanks for your help and pointers.

Emergency calls only problem

**EDIT: You can delete this post, all I needed to do was to reboot when I change SIM card of another carrier, so every carrier works :)

Hello,

I did not have dialer on my stock firmware (tax issues) so I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1, and now there is a dialer.

The problem is, it accepts only SIM of the carrier I bought the tab from.

My guess is that I need to first change to an official firmware that is open to any carrier, like on Galaxy s3 i9300. but I don't know if there is such a thing for the Tab2. Can you please help me , tell me if I am right with what I said above, and if yes, can you tell me which firmware can work with any carrier? Do I have to first install that stock firmware and then reinstall CM, or I can do it through CM?

btw, installing a stock firmware that I downloaded from SamMobile is done in the same way of installing stock rom? via CWM > Install zip from sd card? (stock firmware is 700+mb and CM is 150 mb that's why I wonder)

Changing CWM to CWM touch and Flashing new rom.

Hello,

If I want to change my normal CWM recovery to CWM touch, do I flash the cwm touch over the existing normal CWM following the normal instructions with Odin? Or to change from CWM to CWM Touch I need to follow a different procedure?

Also, I want to re-flash CM 10.1, do I need to flash it the same way from recovery?And what will happen to GAPPS?Will I need to reflash GAPPS or uinstall GAPPS before flashing new rom and then flashing GAPPS again, or if you change rom, gapps remains?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sas007:
Yes Just flash touch over your existing CWM the normal way(follow install instructions on the cwm page you want to install). Make sure it is compatible with your device.

you need to read the thread on CM10.1 and see if rom comes with Gapps or not as some roms do and others dont.so read there and find out what you have to do.

If you are installing a new rom you do not need to uninstall anything.Just follow the instructions for your new rom to the letter regarding wipe data/cache etc from the thread page of rom you are or intend to install..every rom is different and has different ways of doing installs wipes etc.

If you've read my posts you might have also noticed that I don't ask too many questions nor do I start multiple threads. That is because information is out there, you only need to reach for it. If you feed people with it, they will never learn to search for it. I've found a solution to each one of my problems by using the search button and not asking a single question. But the more people choose the easy way (posting the same questions over and over again) the more difficult it gets to find relevant answers. Threads get cluttered and chaotic.

And in my personal opinion every user of this magnificent forum should take at least a bit of responsibility for the way it looks. But obviously you think different, and what we're doing here is called off-topic.

Hi,

trying to upgrade my p1000 from Froyo 2.2 to Nightlymod 10.1, and I have read numerous threads about this problem, tried 3 methods (Odin, Rom manager, bootloader) to flash the device... Rooted it with Superoneclick 2.3.3, shoved SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00 to patch Bootloader... all the work I found necessary. Still, there are only 4 options in my boot: reboot system now, apply sdcard: update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. No Nandroid or backup option. "Update" from cwr doesn't work: E:signature verification failed.

Trying to flash via Rom manager- flash file is visible but the same error appears if I try to read it.

Sd card seems to be working just fine an all data can be reached otherwise.

My sd is 32 GB class 10 (Samsung as well, brand new), and my version is P1000XXJMA.

_____________________________________________________________________

Aaaaaand.... the cwm has gone to hell.... coloured lines mixed with boot screen in a loop - trying to boot over and over again. Vol up + power= gibberish lines again what seems to be cwm- but unreadable (adding some pixel dots like moving cursor in cwm). Download mod looks fine though. Used tar file I downloaded from Mediafire: /CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar

Odin said: success!

Tried with a different kernel- lines removed, boot loop still there. Gonna try of download or cwm respond differently as soon as the battery fills a bit. (about 3/4 now). New kernel was: Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar

Used debugging combined with Kies- by the book. It's a change alright! Hope it leads to Cyanogenmod 10.1 eventually.
