[MENTION=1506960]mrjeancw[/MENTION] SDXC works in quite many combinations, AMAIK.

Mind that moving apps to SD will move just their parts (like data) and make them in general slower, regardless of the SD card speed.

so generally just get rid of my tab 2 and get a new faster tablet is what your saying?

this thing is slower than molasses. im not kidding.

i just reset it, about to root it and see what else i can do to it. any ideas?

mostly is just kids games since they use it. but its a tons of kid games. i have a 32gb card that the tablet is not responding and i think its cuz i never formated to fat32 (which i will do once i get this 64gb card im waiting for).

It is VERY slow with the stock TouchWiz android on it. If you root it and install SlimKat, it will run WAYYY faster and have better battery life.

Compared to SlimKat yes. I was trying to just read reboils and sure the web and it was so laggy man. Let's just say I threw Liquid smooth on it real quick yesterday and it is tons better. My only complaint is that the battery life on it isn't as good as slim kat but it has so many features from all the different ROMs that that can be expected. I'm still going to put either Slim or Omni back on it. How is the battery life on SOKP?

Not bad at all. I don't use my tab a ton anymore. Mostly when my phone is nearly dead or I want to listen to music with my Bluetooth speaker because my tab has more songs on external SD

From my S3 on Wicked 4.3
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Nope, Tab 2 is very fast device. Using SlimBean 4.3 or SlimKat or Omni in combination with OC'ed blackhawk's next kernel makes it really fast and smooth. My Tab has no lags at all, its performance is similar as on my Nexus 7 flo, which is a mighty piece of hardware.

The point is, that the SD card slot is a data bottleneck. Moving apps to SD card will work slower than running them from internal memory on each device .

For light games it might still work well. Just try it out, mate :)

Best is always to try yourself. Blackhawk's NEXT kernel is much faster than stock kernel, on my device it runs totally stable even with 50% OC. I mostly use 1420 MHz.

You can use app STweaks from PlayStore for kernel control.

You can use safely all P3110 builds on your P3113. The only difference is in IR capability of your tab, but the hardware is otherwise identic.

So you can use all recoveries, kernels and ROMs made for P3110

P3113 Slimkat - Misc. questions

Hello all,

I would appreciate anyone who can be of assistance with these questions/issues I'm facing.

1. Clean or dirty flash from Slimkat 7.0 to 8? The only difference I see being that "data" isn't wiped in a dirty flash... is this correct? Best way to backup apps, Titanium backup?

2. Moving APP "USB storage" files to SD... what is the best way to do this? I've tried using FolderMount, AppManager III, Link2SD. Data from games etc. don't seem to move. There are fixes on the Play store for KitKat that modify the platform.xml file... this doesn't work for SlimKat.

3. Running latest stable kernel from Android Andi's GTab 7 page [Slim-3.0.101-p31xx-kernel-blobs-20140908-signed.zip]

I was reading that people were having good luck with his "test2" with regards to battery life. Does the stable version I installed incorporate changes from the "test2" kernel (was uploaded at a later date)?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=16667

4. Screen mirroring possible with Chromecast? What is the best way to do this (without a "smart" TV).

5. IR blaster working in Slimkat 8? If so, what APP works best just for TV control (power/volume).

6. Is battery calibration necessary after a kernel change? I know it's recommended after changing ROMS.

Thanks!

[MENTION=4168626]jokermithun[/MENTION] it was good point of [MENTION=5533257]jrc2[/MENTION], I would just add this:

1. full wipe for Kitkat means also to manually format /system

2. if you were since 2 years away, if your last stock firmware was ICS (not sure if official JB update was released yet then) you may need a JB bootloader to run Kitkat without graphical glitches

Hey, gang. I have a friend in a different state who has a Verizon Galaxy Tab 2, it is a SCH-i705, and the firmware is 1705VRBMI1. He doesn't have mobile service on it, but would be interested in using it over WiFi for stuff, He did a factory reset a while back(without its being on Verizon's network), and has been experienceing some problems with WiFi connectivity and some apps.

I am hoping to help him restore his Tab to stock. I have already flashed several of mines and my friends' devices, but I haven't worked on anything this old before. I have tried to find a suitable thread, but every one I've seen seems to contain outdated or disputed information.

What I'd like to know is:

- Can I sideload the stock 1705VRBMI1 firmware using Odin, and if so, where can I find it?

-Is 1705VRBMI1 the latest official firmware for this device?

-Will his not being connected to a mobile network prevent us from restoring his device to stock?

-Is there working root/recovery etc. for this firmware? Where?

If I am missing a very obvious thread about this somewhere please feel free to mock me mercilessly. And thanks in advance.

Which ROM to choose?

I see there are many ROMs being developed for Galaxy Tab 2 7" but I have no idea which one would be most suitable for my device.

I want to maximize battery life when it is not in use, but also want it to work and play games such clash of clans smoothly.

The lack of media controls in the lock screen of stock ROM is very irritating, and the home screen has been lagging lately.

So which ROM would be the best candidate for my usage pattern?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guanellaluigi:
I suggest CM11, triyng the CM kernel for some days. It has the advantage of auto-updating.

If you don't like performance and battery life, you can then add the kernel by Ketut Kumayaya, of course doing so you lose automatic updates, meaning that you have to re-flash the kernel every time CM11 updates itself.

Enable USB debugging inside developer options, this meight do the trick.

If it does.not work you should try on linux. Download Xubuntu LTS and make a bootable dvd or usb-stick, if it works then it is a driver issue.

Tablet Restarts Every Time I Send a YouTube Video to the Roku

Every single time I send a video from my tablet (GT-P3113) to my roommate's Roku 3, the video does send, but my tablet immediately blacks out and does the CyanogenMod boot animation, restarting for what seems to be no reason at all.

drop down notifications and settings menu

Hi, I am looking for a newer ROM to put on my parents tab 2's and I am looking for kitkat hopefully. But my question is on all of the kitkat ROM's I've found they are all

1. dark as in black backgrounds in the menu, 2. the settings menu is smaller font, and 3. the drop down notifications is separate from the drop down quick menu.

I have a tab 3 myself and most of the kitkat ROM's over there are white backgrounds, larger font on the settings menu and a single drop down for notifications and quick menu.

So I guess my question is does anyone know of a ROM for the tab 2 that is like my tab 3 or can I install a ROM from the tab 3 to the tab 2?

replacing battery help

Hello I am a first time poster and new to Samsung products. I purchased (from a neighbors friend) this Samsung Galaxy tab 2

He told me the battery needed to be replaced. It was in good shape so I gave him $30 and took possession.

I am a newbie to tablet but saw that I could purchase a battery from Ebay. It arrived today but I cant attach the tab to the case. (the wire end) the plastic on the new battery seems to be a little big. I don't know if I am supposed to force the connection down. I am a 71 yr old lady but still have some strength.

If you use CM11, you can install a theme for it that uses a white background instead of the dark. Stock android KK uses the dark background. The Samsung TouchWiz JB that is officially released by Samsung for the tab has the quick settings and notifications all in one.

So my co worker brought me his GT-5113 Galaxy tab 2 10.1...

according to him last time he used it, it was around 50% battery... when he wanted to use it again, it wouldnt turn on or show a charge icon when plugged in

so thinking it was a dead battery, he got a new one.. installed it and nothing....

so now i have it.. i cleaned the cable... cleaned connector.. use the stock charger... and no BATT icon when plugged....

i tried the typical PWR & VOL+ and no dice... did the prev combination with plugging the charger mid way.. nothing... did the holding PWR while touching screen and nothing.... so i put the stock battery back in.... no difference...

tried another cable and 2.0A charger... no dice

i dont think its fully dead... because when I plug into my laptop nothing happens.... but if i click and hold PWR & VOL+ (or - ) while plugged into my PC, laptop does the sound as if it was installing a driver.... BUT like 2 seconds later it does the sound as it if was disconnected....

does that for both PWR & VOL+ and PWR & VOL-

(its been on the factory charger for like few hrs)

what else can i do to determine if really bricked?

My neighbor's 5113 is having some strange issues I hope I can get some insight on. I've worked with a lot of Samsung phones and am very familiar with flashing, Odin, etc but have not worked with a tablet before.

First, it has 4.2.2 on it. I tried the stock software update function and it says it's up to date. Is that true? Is 4.2.2 the latest official for this device?

Second, It's having lock up issues (see below) so I thought I would clear cache in stock recovery. It starts going through the process and then errors out. I've never seen that before. Any ideas?

Lastly and most importantly, it locks up regularly. It will lock up with the screen on (although it seems to take longer to lock up with the screen on with some motion.) When the screen goes off it will lock up quickly, normally within 5 minutes and it even locks up when charging up. The charging animation stops and you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to get it to come back to life. It's very strange.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=3808521]gspears[/MENTION] yes, 4.2.2 is the latest Samsung's official update. Most of us here use newer versions that are ported into the custom ROMs. IMHO Samsungs 4.x firmwares all just suck and it doesn't make me wonder if there are slowdowns or SOD.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I think the memory is crap. It even locks up on the screen that shows the big picture of the battery when it's turned off and charging. There is very little software running at that point.

Maybe if I load a custom recovery it will use a different spot in the memory. I'll try that if I can keep it from locking up long enough.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gspears:
Thanks PanchoPlanet but unfortunately the factory reset did NOT clear the problem. It still locks up with nothing but the stock firmware. No other apps installed. It seems to lock up within minutes of the screen turning off. If I set the screen to stay on for 30 minutes it will go that long normally without locking. But sometimes not. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason to it. I'm really feeling like it's a memory problem. I still can't clear the cache. Very strange.

All the apps updated when I factory reset the device so maybe it's an update to an app that's causing all the issues. I'll try a factory reset without allowing any updated to see what happens.

Update: Well I did another factory reset and this time didn't even let it load a Google account. Then did not let it update anything. And, no change. It still locks up all over the place. I'd like to reload stock firmware to see if I can get it working. Anybody know where I can find 4.2.2 for the 5113?
