Still might keep the P6810 (JB or not)..... My 9yo son loves it :) But to upgrade to the Note 3 would burn a real big hole in the wallet :eek:

I do agree totally with you

Nexus 7 is right!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] robinou:
Same idea. But... It's a gift from my girlfriend :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
I'm no real Dev but former ROM Chef and current SkyHigh kernel developer for P6800 JB / P6810 ICS.

I did cook up a CWM P6810 ROM from official P6800 JB and even compiled a basic JB SkyHigh kernel from official P6800 sources using a prepared P6810 config (config file from Daniel). After a bit, I did realize that bootloader partitions also needed to be flashed, but got sick of bricking the tab by then (and probably hoping official JB would be released....)

system, data and preload are flashed to different partitions. The sizes are different between Blk and would most likely cause all sorts of problems if not addressed. An appropriate PIT file would probably be needed.

Don't get me wrong, your intentions are welcomed for our tab :) , but very DANGEROUS for the blind and desperate. Without being able to at least test your method on own device (which won't work), I'd strongly recommend the removal of your link. Any of the above I mentioned is almost certainly lead to either soft or hard BRICK, corruption of partition table etc

** Please remove it ** :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
ok, i'll admit that the average user may not be aware of ALL of the risks involved but a lil common sense as well as the BIG BOLDED WARNING at the top of the post should alert one to the fact that u could suffer potential harm to your tablet by flashing files not specifically created for it. At some point one has to be willing to take a risk if they truly want something that is otherwise unobtainable...if there was an extreme danger of not being able to recover your device i NEVER would have even suggested flashing the file. The updater script is properly written to address the difference in partition layout and the only way size would cause any problems is if the flashable file went OVER the amount. From what i've gathered from your statements i probably need to remove the format system command from the script and simply leave the delete in place...if u could please provide technical documentation that details the partition size differences that would be helpful. I understand that the ics bootloader will probably stop this from working but since this zip does not touch anything other than the system , preload, and kernel...i don't see that causing any confusion. As far as flashing another kernel, i own a P6200 and i'm almost certain that even i could flash this ENTIRE zip without bricking my tab not to mention the stupid times i've tried to flash 7.7 & GS2 kernels on my device and was able to recover...so with that said if u are a mod and that was a DEMAND then i will humbly remove the link but other than that i will also add a bolded brick warning as well as the link to the 'repartition and recovery" thread in the one i created. And allow me to be the first to apologize if this post appears to have some sort of a harsh "tone"...i'm just a "matter of fact" type of person and no harm is meant so thx for the input
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Edit: Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate help with our tab, but until you have a PROVEN working ROM, wouldn't it be better to prevent the mass bricking of devices (possible hard brick by messing with partitions, kernel etc) by removing the link? I didn't ask for you to remove the post, but those users willing to risk can easily PM you instead.

You can appreciate by my contributions that I'm also a "matter of fact type". Fact is, the ROM will brick users devices ! Your little understanding of things shows by suggesting to flash CM kernel. Porting ROMs isn't always "cut & paste", and flash away..... ;)

I would be the first to applaud you and any tester managing to get it up and running. But,....

Sorry, I won't in my conscience to further help you (provide ideas or guidance) with this.

It would be IRRESPONSIBLE to users that I support.

GOOD LUCK :)

Cheers,

UITA
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
admittedly i am NOT a dev by any means and i may be mistaken but isn't it true that cm kernels will in fact work with stock roms (as long as it's the same version of android) but not the other way around? (i actually may have said that backwards...lol)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] PMShodan:
I've always loved my Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi (P6810), AMOLED beats every other screen, especially on a tablet with this form factor. I always was patient to get updates (although I had to go custom, because officially, I would still be on Android 3.2), and in regard to every other tablet I have seen or used, the Tab 7.7 was sometimes inferior in some regards, but the screen was always bringing me back to it.

No more. I got myself the new Nexus 7 (2013). Together with Android 4.3, it simply the best Android Tablet experience I ever had. I can't use the Tab 7.7 any longer in good conscience, it is soo slow and unresponsive in contrast, not even the screen is any consolation any longer, the new Nexus 7 is far superior, even without AMOLED. Only with movies, the Tab 7.7 still shines. I cannot imagine any update (should it ever happen!) bringing it even close to the smoothness and user experience of the new Nexus 7.

I've basically given up on it. Time is not stopping. Shame on Samsung for their update policy. I will not sell it though. Perhaps someone at sometime will make it work properly with CM or another custom ROM, although I do not expect so.

I've stopped caring at this point and will either grab a windows 8.1 tab with atom this fall/winter or if the sony xperia Z is updated with the snapdragon S800, I will grab that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Spewy1:
I agree, there is no point in hoping for this update anymore, Samsung have clearly given up on this device for reasons I struggle to comprehend. This tablet could have been so much more popular if Samsung had given it a bit more of a push.

I am waiting for a hd 8inch tablet with one of the high speed chips on most high end phones. Until then I will just use my galaxy s4.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
I don't care whether we get Jelly Bean or not. I am hoping for the successor to be announced at IFA on Sept 4.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
As much I also would want a successor, I wouldn't hold my breath, at this moment there are countless of samsung tablets, 7 inch, 8 inch, 10.1 inch, note 8, note 10.1, rumours of a super high res tablet also, either 10 inch or 12.1. There are also rumours of a high end high res tablets with amoled, and a full hd amoled 10.1 inch tab.

If Samsung decides to make another amoled tab, I fear the will try to go for a thin device again, which might limit the battery size and capacity.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
Maybe, but there have been rumors of an 8 inch super amoled tablet to be announce on the 4th.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
Well, while I am generally happy with my tab, it is nearly two years old. I am fine with not getting JB on this device and I don't think spamming Samsung would do any good. I also think Samsung has the best of feature set with a sd card support and super amoled screen.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lambstone:
Samsung recently have been screwing with their customers.

The Galaxy S series was supposed to be the flagship but the Note series always seem to be better than the Galaxy S series.

They are flooding the market with numerous iterations of the same devices usually with slight specs bump.

If this continues which I suspect it would, I'll be jumping ship over to LG. LG is catching up as of late.

As of right now no US Samsung devices have 4.2.2 or 4.3 official. It's the price to pay for official updates when relying on closed source developing.

hi guys,

im facing a new problem in my phone after couple of works i have done today.

i was runnig this stock rom 9300XXELKC_I9300OXXELK4_I9300XXELKC_HOME on my s3 with android JB 4.1.2.

today i tried to install the leakd JB 4.2.2 fro sammobile and successfully upgraded the rom...

after sometime i realized the phone freezes and no matter how much u wait,nothin changes n onli way is to reboot the phone manualli.

i have formated n factory reset the phone also but still the same problem was thr(infact it got worst)

i have downgraded to the previous stock rom i had n did wipe everythin but now also the phone freezes sometime...

whats the reason behind it?plz help,its irritatin.

thank u
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
did you wipe everything from stock recovery immediately after flashing leaked 4.2.2 ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinahidden:
no not immediately,but after i got few times freezing,i did that.but after that also my phone was hanging,i can say even more...:|
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
if you do not wipe immediately, you get some system ui has stopped like something. so it is always good to wipe as soon as you see samsung logo after the rom is flashed. pull out the battery and quickly boot into recovery and wipe everyhting and you should be good to go
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinahidden:
i have done that,infact without doing that my phone wuldnt have boot up after the downgrade...

but that problem still resist...can it be due to some corrupted file which might be cuzd by 4.2.2 ?maybe it spoiled some system file.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
may be yeah(not sure). did the same happen with any custom roms? or only stock ones?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
Hey guys,

I know that heat is bad for the battery, but I've been playing a game that eats battery way too fast for me to play unplugged. I've been playing Dungeon Hunter 4. It's been hard to put down.

So my question is this: is it bad to play games when your phone is plugged in? Is it only if the phone exceeds a certain temperature, or are there other reasons why it may harm the battery?

As for the temperatures I'm dealing with. I'm getting about 2 degrees more when playing plugged in. About 42/43 degrees. I know people get higher temps playing other games unplugged, so does this mean I'm safe to continue?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
I would believe that apart from the added heat, there should be a reason why you should not do it. It's either the rapid up/down of the battery state etc etc. Someone more familiar with battery tech could answer this better :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Catchpen:
It's been awhile since I haven't been on pure AOSP. I can't remember if Touchwiz can be uninstalled on a rooted phone or just like an app or is it hard coded in the OS.

Lag on such a powerful phone should be embarrassing to Samsung!

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
It's not an app. It's built into various parts of the OS as far as I know. I have no lag though so I'm always surprised when people mention lag. Actually, to clarify I have seen some lag since I started doing some tweaks and mods posted on here but they usually clear up after a few reboots. OS seems pretty self-optimizing to me. But again, I always say this, lag depends on what phone/OS you are coming from. Someone coming from AOSP will probably notice lag where as someone like me coming from a stock S3 finds this much faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] henrybravo:
Depends on what you mean by TouchWiz. If you mean just the launcher, it can be frozen/disabled or removed. But the hooks of the TW framework go deep because a lot of the features in the ROM depend on it. TW can be tweaked, and various unused RAM wasting TW related services can be frozen/disabled. On my previous S2 and S3, I ran custom tweaked TW ROMs with Nova or Apex launchers that were as smooth or smoother than AOSP/AOKP ROMs. Once the bootloader gets unlocked on the AT&T S4 and the devs get to do their stuff then things will get better. Who knows, the lag could just be the result of a kernel governor that needs a little tweaking. These days, running AOSP will make you lose a lot of the features that the manufacturers are putting into their phones. Of course whether or not someone would consider all of these new features useful or gimmicky is another story entirely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Catchpen:
Thanks, Yeah it's nothing substantial but noticeable to me. Just scrolling from page to page on the home screen it's just a little jerky, poweramp has skipped a few times, stuff like that. hopefully a root and de-bloat will help.

Over 1 gig of ram is comsumed just with the phone idle and no open apps. I know Android will manage memory well when needed but shesh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RAID Xero:
Have you turned off all animations in developer settings? My phone didn't lag, but doing that made it even faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joeybear23:
TW is so integrated into the ROM you really wouldn't want to uninstall it. Stuff just wouldn't work.

Just be patient and wait for our awesome devs to put together a custom ROM for this wicked cool phone.
[Xperia Z General] Timaustin2000:
Hello all. I had the XZ for around a week and a bit. I returned the device as I found the camera hugely disappointing in comparison to my old XS, which is a great snapper.

Camera quality is a big draw for me so I'm excited to hear that Sony have overhauled the crippling camera algorythms for this latest software update. I'm considering getting another XZ, as the S4 really doesn't interest me and the One's camera is patently sh*te in daylight conditions.

So, help please: Could you post pictures taken by your Z with the new software? I'm really keen to see the improvement and judge for myself.

(And, if anyone who has owned both could tell me, after the update, which is the better camera, the Xz or the XS?)
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Well I have both devices and even before the update I felt the Zs camera was much better. The Ss camera held more detail. Yes! But that only gave it an advantage in daylight conditions. In all other conditions, the Z beats it hands down. The amount of noise on the Ss pictures are horrendous! Especially indoors and in low light.

After the update, the Z makes up the ground in detail but a lot of noise is also invited into the picture. Again, that's indoors and under low light.

The Zs camera is, as it's always been much better than the Ss.

Attached is a picture taken after the update, you can check the detail it preserves for yourself.

[Xperia Z General] sandrin0:
Noise is higher when using superior auto, but with the normal mode it's pretty good I think.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
I didn't use superior auto in any of the pictures I posted, only normal mode with HDR on-off. If I used night mode/scene then the quality would be a lot better though. But I didn't thought of it at that time. You can see night mode pictures in the topic where I posted my pictures.

[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
Here is some comparison of latest .253 Xperia Z camera v/s Galaxy Note II v/s iPhone 5.

My View:

1st pic - Exposure control the best in Xperia Z, iPhone 5 second, Note II is completely out, it is over expose.

2nd pic - Note II the best here, 2nd is iPhone 5, lastly Xperia Z.

3rd pic - Xperia Z still much closer to actual color - the best, Note II - not clear and not sharp, iPhone 5 - clear and sharp but too bright than actual.

In overall summary of 3 device camera:

Xperia Z - due to some issue on the superior auto mode which only generate noise now, need to pick scene mode or manual adjust for decent output. Point and shoot will be easier once Sony fix the Superior Mode. Now you still can get a decent in details just more step is required.

Note II - Probably due to too big size or whatever, it is easier get blur image, need some pressure to hold tide for decent output.

iPhone 5 - don't have much fancy setting, but iPhone 5 is the most easier point and shoot, you get 100% sharp in details image.

More camera shoot comparison of Xperia Z v/s iPhone 5. (No Note II this time as the owner not around).

My View:

1st photo - iPhone 5 win here, it capture more details than Xperia Z.

2nd photo - Both quite equal, but I like Xperia Z leaf color + iPhone 5 water pool color.

3rd photo - This one I give winner to Xperia Z, they is big sunlight there, Xperia Z can capture the light and color look alive.

4th photo - Obvious iPhone 5 great control of noise than Xperia Z here. Color wise iPhone 5 still a bit not correct as the light there is yellow spotlight rather than brown.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
More Xperia Z .253 ROM - Camera test out:
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
For me it's simple, the superior auto mode on the Z isn't very good at all. It gets the white balance completely wrong. I think it's the auto setting for white balance, it doesn't seem to work. The camera focuses better when you select the right WB. Taking and posting auto shots of the Z does the camera a great disservice. The Xperia Zs camera right now, simply cannot function well as a point and shooter until Sony fixes the WB in auto mode.

For now, you've got to use normal camera and adjust the settings manually. It's straightforward, only four options, incandescent for low light, florescent for strong artificial lighting, daylight for clear blue skies and cloudy for well, as the name says, when the sunlight is obstructed by clouds.

As far as I'm concerned, fixing the auto WB issue as well as improving the quick focus would have done more to improve the Zs picture quality than the removal of image processing algorithms. For me, it did a lot of work cleaning up the pics. It certainly needed better and more intelligent implementation but that's all. Doesn't need to be canned.

I dont exactly know where to put this but general seems fine.

On 5/08 I switched from big red to tmo. Wanted to have

My own plan, I have a thin credit file since I stay away

From credit cards and was forced to pay $300 plus 40 in tax

To receive my device from tmo. Instead of 149 like everyone else

On 5/09 I received the phone....damaged. the battery door

Of the note 2 was busted and the packaging was horrid.

I called right away only to be told I needed to give them

340 Again then send this one and get refunded.

Since I wasnt excepting the high down I had no money left

On 5/13 I finally had enough from bi weekly paycheck to

Process the note 2 for replacement eip. Since I had

Issues handling the phone I decided to use remorse and

Get an S4.

5/16 comes by and I dont receive my s4 I call and they say

It will be on its way. Sales however says my card declined

And it is cancelled. Two stories...

5/17 comes by and after 6 hours on support I finally get

A replacement EIP setup again. My card gets charged

And I was told new batches ship 20th.

5/19 the order processes and shows on my account! Sigh of relief

5/19 order switches to cancelled

5/21 order reflects cancelled twice.

After another 4 hours they setup a memo for device exchange

At a local store and to double my down so new s4 is paid off

Courtesy of them.

I go to a local store and learn only corporate locations can do

What I need. After calling them three times to ask if that store

Was not a dealer and told it wasn't even though I explained my situation

I was told different thing once I was there.

Will be heading to a corp store right before work soon.

If tmobile fails to redeem themselves its back to big red.

Theres no reason a damaged device exchange should be this difficult

If you want to go magenta Use a store not online even if its convenient

Or you will get stuck in this nonsense.

Anyways, that's another issue. Fortunately, I backed up my data in my PC using ActiveSynch that day, however, unfortunately, as I was in the process of restoring it, I encountered errors. It says it cannot copy some files for they have been locked by some applications running in my PDA. I was so sure that no application was running then, I even soft reset it a few times just to be sure. Still it prompted for those errors. It includes my contacts, appointments, tasks, and some other databases. What could have been wrong in that scenario? Does it have any prerequisites before doing restoration?
